[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationship terms such as "above", "below", "left", and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0036] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present utility model provides a handling device, which includes a gantry 1, on which there are a plurality of jigs 11 for material detection; a handling mechanism 2, arranged in front of the gantry 1, including a driving assembly 21 and a bearing bracket 22; an output end of the driving assembly 21 is connected with a transmission shaft 23, and one end of the transmission shaft 23 far away from the driving assembly 21 is rotatably arranged in the bearing bracket 22 along the X-axis direction; the bearing bracket 22 is provided with a clearance passage 24, and a cam 25 is fixedly arranged on the transmission shaft 23 located in the clearance passage 24, and a connecting rod 26 is arranged above the cam 25; a transfer module 3, arranged in parallel behind the gantry 1 for handling materials, and two ends of the connecting rod 26 are respectively rotatably connected to the bearing bracket 22 and the transfer module 3; a linear module 4, arranged below the transfer module 3 for driving the transfer module 3 to reciprocate along the X-axis direction; wherein, the driving assembly 21 drives the cam 25 to rotate, drives the connecting rod 26 to move up and down, and further drives the transfer module 3 to reciprocate along the Z-axis direction.

[0038] The handling device provided by the present utility model drives the transmission shaft 23 and the cam 25 on the transmission shaft 23 to rotate reciprocally through a motor 210, and drives the connecting rod 26 to drive the transfer module 3 to move up and down reciprocally, so as to realize the up and down handling action of the material sucked by the material suction device 35; the moving end on the linear module 4 drives the transfer bracket 32 to move left and right, so as to realize the left and right handling action of the material sucked by the material suction device 35. The handling device provided by the present utility model enables the materials on the production line to be handled at high speed and high efficiency through the combination structure of the handling mechanism 2 and the linear module 4; and the manufacturing and later maintenance costs of the handling mechanism 2 are relatively lower than those of the traditional multiple linear modules 4.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the multiple fixtures 11 provided on the gantry 1 can be used to perform different types of inspections on the materials on the production line, thereby ensuring the qualified rate of the materials; the drive assembly 21 includes a motor 210, a reducer 211 and a coupling 212; the output end of the motor 210 is connected to the input end of the reducer 211; one end of the coupling 212 is connected to the output end of the reducer 211, and the other end of the coupling 212 is connected to the transmission shaft 23. Among them, the motor 210 is preferably a servo motor. Compared with other motors 210, the servo motor has higher positioning accuracy, torque and speed, and can control the position and speed of the cam 25 to rotate more efficiently, so that the speed and accuracy of the material during up and down handling are higher. A circular induction piece 230 is provided at one end of the transmission shaft 23 close to the coupling 212, and a reset sensor 231 matching the circular induction piece 230 is provided on one side of the bearing bracket 22 close to the circular induction piece 230. The servo motor realizes the high-precision reciprocating rotation of the cam 25 through the circular induction piece 230 and the reset sensor 231, thereby improving the precise up and down reciprocating movement of the transfer module 3, so that the material can maintain a unified height during each up and down handling process, and the stability of the material handling is improved.

[0040] Further, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, one end of the connecting rod 26 is rotatably installed on the bearing bracket 22 through a pin shaft and is located above the cam 25. A second shaft wheel 261 is installed at the other end of the connecting rod 26 and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 31 through the second shaft wheel 261. A first shaft wheel 260 is also provided between the second shaft wheel 261 and the pin shaft. The outer diameter of the first shaft wheel 260 abuts against the outer diameter of the cam 25. When the cam 25 reciprocates, the first shaft wheel 260 and the cam 25 roll relative to each other, and drive the connecting rod 26 to drive the transfer module 3 to move up and down quickly. Compared with the traditional linear module 4, this structure can effectively improve its moving speed, and the structure is relatively simple, with lower manufacturing cost and later maintenance cost, and wider applicability.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the transfer module 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a transfer bracket 32; a lateral sliding assembly 33 is provided between the mounting plate 31 and the transfer bracket 32, and the transfer bracket 32 moves left and right along the X-axis direction through the lateral sliding assembly 33; a longitudinal sliding assembly 34 is provided between the mounting plate 31 and the bearing bracket 22, and the mounting plate 31 and the transfer bracket 32 move up and down along the Z-axis direction through the longitudinal sliding assembly 34. Both the lateral sliding assembly 33 and the longitudinal sliding assembly 34 are composed of sliders and chutes. This structure enables the transfer bracket 32 to perform reciprocating movements in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, thereby realizing the fast and precise handling of materials in the X-axis and Z-axis directions.

[0042] Further, asFigure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , a third shaft wheel 320 is provided on one side of the transfer bracket 32 away from the mounting plate 31, and a longitudinal chute 41 matching the third shaft wheel 320 is provided on the moving end of the linear module 4. The third shaft wheel 320 is slidably sleeved in the longitudinal chute 41. When the linear module 4 drives the longitudinal chute 41 to move in the X-axis direction, it simultaneously drives the transfer bracket 32 to reciprocate in the X-axis direction. When the handling mechanism 2 drives the transfer bracket 32 to move up and down in the Z-axis direction, the third shaft wheel 320 moves up and down in the longitudinal chute 41. Therefore, this structure enables the transfer bracket 32 to independently handle materials in the Z-axis or X-axis direction.

[0043] Furthermore, a plurality of material suction cups 35 matching the fixtures 11 at the upper end of the gantry 1 are installed along the X-axis direction at the upper end of the transfer bracket 32. The material suction cups 35 are used to suck or place the materials in the fixtures 11 to the destination.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in order to ensure that the transfer module 3 handles materials more stably and accurately during the up and down movement, a limit cylinder 5 is fixedly installed below the mounting plate 31, and the output end of the limit cylinder 5 is connected to the mounting plate 31. When the handling mechanism 2 drives the mounting plate 31 to move upward, the output shaft of the limit cylinder 5 extends. When the output shaft of the limit cylinder 5 extends to the maximum limit, the upward movement stroke of the mounting plate 31 is limited. When the handling mechanism 2 drives the mounting plate 31 to move downward, the output shaft of the limit cylinder 5 resets and limits the downward movement stroke of the mounting plate 31. That is to say, the setting of the limit cylinder 5 enables the transfer module 3 to move the materials to the destination more stably and accurately when handling materials up and down. In addition, in order to better adjust and limit the upward movement stroke of the transfer module 3, a limit component 6 is provided between the bearing bracket 22 and the mounting plate 31. The limit component 6 includes a limit screw 60 installed on one side of the bearing bracket 22 and a limit block 61 provided on one side of the mounting bracket. The bottom end of the limit screw 60 faces the limit block 61. When the mounting plate 31 moves upward to the highest position, the limit block 61 abuts against the limit screw 60 to limit the maximum upward movement stroke of the mounting plate 31. A nut is threadedly connected to the limit screw 60, and the distance between the bottom end of the limit screw 60 and the limit block 61 is adjusted by rotating the position of the nut on the limit screw 60, thereby adjusting the maximum upward movement stroke of the mounting plate 31.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model is disclosed above in a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, when making some changes or modifications using the above-disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes, but as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technology of the present utility model all fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
