Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic loading and unloading, and particularly relates to a Tray disk loading and unloading device with strong versatility.

Background Art

[0002] Tray disks are widely used in the automated production of electronic products, especially in the loading or unloading stage of an automated production line. Tray disks can be stacked together through the cavities of the Tray disks themselves. After stacking, they occupy less space and can carry more electronic components per unit volume, meeting the requirements of automated and large-scale production. In actual production, Tray disks of different sizes are designed according to different products and different testing machines. If a traditional Tray disk feeding device is used, it can only load and unload Tray disks of a fixed size, with poor compatibility and high production costs.

[0003] In the prior art, there are designed Tray disk loading devices that can be compatible with different size ranges. For example, a tray disk loading device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115448044A. The loading mechanism includes a lifting component, a support component, a storage bracket, and a first in-place sensor. The storage bracket includes two storage fixed brackets, two storage movable brackets, and two storage fixed bottom plates. The two storage fixed brackets support the short side (or long side) of the Tray disk, and the two storage movable brackets support the other opposite long side (or short side) of the Tray disk. The positions of the two storage movable brackets can be adjusted to adapt to Tray disks with different short side (or long side) sizes. Therefore, the above solution can only adapt to Tray disks with different long sides or different long sides, and for Tray disks with different short sides and different long sides, the loading action cannot be completed, resulting in low versatility.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a Tray disk loading and unloading device with strong versatility to solve the above technical problems.

Both the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism include a first enclosure and a second enclosure respectively surrounding two adjacent corners of the Tray, and a second motor for driving the first enclosure and the second enclosure to approach or move away from each other in the X direction. The two first enclosures and the two second enclosures enclose a bin for placing the Tray.

[0007] Further, the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism are jointly arranged on an installation plate, and an avoidance opening for avoiding the lifting motor is arranged in the middle of the installation plate.

[0008] Further, the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism further include a support frame for fixing the second motor.

[0009] Further, a first slide rail in the Y direction is arranged on the installation plate, and the support frame is slidably arranged on the first slide rail through a first slider.

[0010] Further, a second slide rail in the X direction is arranged on the support frame, and both the first enclosure and the second enclosure are slidably arranged on the second slide rail through second sliders.

[0011] Further, both the first enclosure and the second enclosure include a first limiting plate for limiting the first side of the Tray at the corner and a second limiting plate for limiting the second side of the Tray at the corner.

[0012] Further, both the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate extend vertically upward, and the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are perpendicularly arranged to facilitate positioning of the Tray at the corner.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the Tray tray loading and unloading device with strong versatility of the present utility model are as follows: The first motor drives the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism to approach or move away from each other along the Y direction to enclose the outer periphery of the Tray tray, which can realize the positioning of the Tray tray in the Y direction.

Detailed Embodiment

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2, this embodiment is a Tray tray loading and unloading device with strong versatility. The Tray tray loading and unloading device 100 with strong versatility includes a carrier plate 1 for carrying the Tray tray 200, a lifting motor 2 for driving the carrier plate 1 to move up and down, a first positioning mechanism 3 arranged at the front end of the carrier plate 1 and surrounding the front side of the Tray tray 200, a second positioning mechanism 4 arranged at the rear end of the carrier plate 1 and surrounding the rear side of the Tray tray 200, and a first motor 5 for simultaneously driving the first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 to approach or move away from each other in the Y direction. Both the first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 include a first enclosure 31 and a second enclosure 32 respectively surrounding two adjacent corners of the Tray tray 200, and a second motor 33 for driving the first enclosure 31 and the second enclosure 32 to approach or move away from each other in the X direction. The two first enclosures 31 and the two second enclosures 32 enclose a bin for placing the Tray tray.

[0023] The first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 are jointly arranged on an installation plate 6, and an avoidance opening 61 for avoiding the lifting motor 2 is arranged in the middle of the installation plate 6.

[0024] The first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 further include a support frame 34 for fixing the second motor 33.

[0025] Two first slide rails 62 in the Y direction are arranged on the installation plate 6, and both support frames 34 are slidably arranged on the first slide rails 62 through first sliders 35.

[0026] Two second slide rails 36 in the X direction are arranged on both support frames 34, and both the first enclosure 31 and the second enclosure 32 are slidably arranged on the second slide rails 36 through second sliders 37.

[0027] Both the first enclosure 31 and the second enclosure 32 include a first limiting plate 311 for limiting the first side 201 at the corner of the Tray tray 200 and a second limiting plate 312 for limiting the second side 202 at the corner of the Tray tray 200. Since the Tray tray 200 is square, the first limiting plate 311 and the second limiting plate 312 are perpendicularly arranged to facilitate positioning the corner of the Tray tray 200. A second slider 37 is arranged on the back of the first limiting plate 311, and the second slider 37 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 36.

[0028] Both the first limiting plate 311 and the second limiting plate 312 extend vertically upward to limit the corners of the stacked Tray trays 200. The vertical heights of the first limiting plate 311 and the second limiting plate 312 are set according to the height of the Tray trays 200 to be stacked as required, and are not limited here.

[0029] When applying a highly versatile Tray disk loading and unloading device 100 provided by this solution, during loading, a stack of Tray disks 200 stacked by manual labor or a manipulator (not shown in the figure) is placed into the magazine and placed on the bearing plate 1. According to the length and width of the placed Tray disks 200, the first motor 5 drives the first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 to approach or move away from each other along the Y direction to surround the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200, enabling the positioning of the Tray disks in the Y direction. At this time, all the first limiting plates 311 are positioned on the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200. Meanwhile, two second motors 33 simultaneously drive the first enclosure 31 and the second enclosure 32 to approach or move away from each other along the X direction to surround the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200, enabling the positioning of the Tray disks in the X direction. At this time, all the second limiting plates 312 are positioned on the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200. Therefore, the Tray disk loading and unloading device provided by this solution can simultaneously position the Tray disks 200 in the X direction and the Y direction, that is, achieve the positioning of Tray disks 200 with different lengths and different widths. After completing the positioning of the Tray disks 200, the lifting motor 2 drives the bearing plate 1 to rise. After the sensor (not shown in the figure) senses the Tray disks 200, the gripper (not shown in the figure) automatically grabs the products of the Tray disks 200 to complete the loading. After the products of the Tray disks 200 are grabbed, the empty Tray disks 200 are taken away by manual labor or a manipulator (not shown in the figure). The lifting motor 2 drives the bearing plate 1 to continue driving the Tray disks 200 to rise to complete the loading of the next Tray disk 200. During unloading, the empty Tray disks 200 are placed into the magazine and placed on the bearing plate 1 by manual labor or a manipulator (not shown in the figure). According to the length and width of the placed Tray disks 200, the first motor 5 drives the first positioning mechanism 3 and the second positioning mechanism 4 to approach or move away from each other along the Y direction to surround the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200. At this time, all the first limiting plates 311 are positioned on the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200. Meanwhile, two second motors 33 simultaneously drive the first enclosure 31 and the second enclosure 32 to approach or move away from each other along the X direction to surround the outer periphery of the Tray disks 200. After the sensor (not shown in the figure) senses the Tray disks 200, the gripper (not shown in the figure) automatically grabs the products and places them into the Tray disks 200 to complete the unloading. After the Tray disks 200 are filled with products, the lifting motor 2 drives the bearing plate 1 to drive the Tray disks 200 to descend. Meanwhile, the empty Tray disks 200 are stacked above the products by manual labor or a manipulator (not shown in the figure) to wait for the unloading of the next Tray disk 200 to continue.

[0030] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
