It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and not to limit the present utility model. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present utility model are shown in the drawings rather than all structures.

[0024] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected to", and "fixed" shall be understood in a broad sense.

[0025] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature.

[0026] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "left", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is 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 should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a handling device is proposed for handling workpieces, especially suitable for handling workpieces that are prone to deformation, such as fiberboards just hot-pressed. The handling device includes a side-shifting assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3, and a clamping assembly 1. The clamping assembly 1 includes two support plates 11, and the two support plates 11 are spaced along a first direction ( Figure 1 the X direction and its reverse direction in Figure 1 ). The clamping assembly 1 further includes a telescopic driving structure 12 for driving the two support plates 11 to move closer to or away from each other along the first direction, so that the support plates 11 can move below the workpiece or away from the workpiece. The lifting assembly 3 is configured to drive the clamping assembly 1 to move along a third direction ( Figure 1 the Z direction and its reverse direction in

[0028] In the clamping assembly 1 of the above-mentioned handling device, two support plates 11 are used to support the workpiece during the workpiece transfer process, reducing the possibility of deformation caused by the softness of the workpiece itself. Moreover, the two support plates 11 can be synchronously lifted and lowered and laterally moved respectively under the action of the lifting assembly 3 and the lateral movement assembly 2, reducing the risk of deformation, damage or dropping of the workpiece, and improving the quality of the workpiece while reducing the working intensity of the operator.

[0029] In one embodiment, the handling device further includes a frame 4. The frame 4 serves as the installation base for the above-mentioned lateral movement assembly 2, lifting assembly 3 and clamping assembly 1. It has a first station and a second station distributed along the second direction. The clamping assembly 1 is arranged at the first output end of the lifting assembly 3, the lifting assembly 3 is arranged at the second output end of the lateral movement assembly 2, and the lateral movement assembly 2 is arranged on the frame 4. That is, the lateral movement assembly 2 drives the lifting assembly 3 to drive the clamping assembly 1 to move along the second direction, so that the workpiece is transferred from the first station to the second station.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the frame 4 is integrally arranged as a U-shaped frame structure with an open bottom, including a first support 41 and a second support 42 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and further includes a cross beam 43 connecting the first support 41 and the second support 42. Both the first support 41 and the second support 42 are arranged as rectangles. The two ends of the cross beam 43 are respectively connected to the tops of the first support 41 and the second support 42. In order to improve the structural strength of the frame 4, multiple cross beams 43 are arranged at intervals along the second direction.

[0031] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the lateral movement assembly 2 includes a lateral movement mounting seat 24 and a lateral movement driving structure 21. The lateral movement driving structure 21 is mounted on the frame 4. The lateral movement driving structure 21 includes the above-mentioned second output end. The lifting assembly 3 is arranged on the second output end of the lateral movement driving structure 21 through the lateral movement mounting seat 24. The lateral movement driving structure 21 is configured to drive the lateral movement mounting seat 24 to move along the second direction. Specifically, the lateral movement assembly 2 further includes lateral movement guide rails 22. The lateral movement guide rails 22 are arranged on the frame 4 and extend along the second direction. The lateral movement mounting seat 24 is slidably connected to the frame 4 through the lateral movement guide rails 22 to improve the stability of the lateral movement mounting seat 24 during sliding. And the lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting driving structure 31 and a lifting mounting seat 32. The lifting driving structure 31 is mounted on the lateral movement mounting seat 24. The lifting driving structure 31 includes the above-mentioned first output end. The clamping assembly 1 is arranged on the first output end of the lifting driving structure 31 through the lifting mounting seat 32. The lifting driving structure 31 is configured to drive the lifting mounting seat 32 to move along the third direction.

[0032] More specifically, the side shift driving structure 21 includes a side shift motor 211. The stator of the side shift motor 211 is installed on the side shift mounting seat 24 as the second output end. To convert the rotational motion of the side shift motor 211 into a linear motion, the side shift driving structure 21 further includes a gear 213 and a rack 212. The rack 212 is fixed to the frame 4 along the second direction, and the gear 213 is arranged on the output shaft of the side shift motor 211 and meshed with the rack 212. When the output shaft of the side shift motor 211 rotates, it can drive the gear 213 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the rack 212, the side shift mounting seat 24 moves along the second direction.

[0033] Of course, the rotational motion of the side shift motor 211 can also be realized through a screw drive structure, or the side shift driving structure 21 can also adopt a linear driving structure such as an electric cylinder or an oil cylinder, which will not be elaborated here.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the side shift mounting seat 24 is also set as a U-shaped frame structure with an opening facing downwards. To improve the stability of the side shift mounting seat 24 when sliding on the frame 4, side shift guide rails 22 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the first bracket 41 and the second bracket 42 along the third direction, and the side shift mounting seat 24 is slidably connected to the above-mentioned side shift guide rails 22. And to avoid interference between the side shift guide rails 22 and the rack 212, the side shift guide rails 22 are arranged on the relatively outer sides of the first bracket 41 and the second bracket 42, and the rack 212 is arranged on the relatively inner side of the first bracket 41 or the second bracket 42, that is, the opposite sides of the side shift mounting seat 24 along the first direction are located outside the frame 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in order to make the side shift assembly 2 accurately stop at the second working position, the handling device further includes a limit block 23. The limit block 23 is arranged on the traveling path of the side shift mounting seat 24, for example, on the side shift guide rail 22. When the side shift mounting seat 24 abuts against the limit block 23, it indicates that the side shift assembly 2 has moved to the second working position.

[0036] In one embodiment, the limit block 23 is adjustably arranged on the side shift guide rail 22 to adjust the maximum moving stroke of the side shift assembly 2 along the second direction according to the distance between the first working position and the second working position. Specifically, positioning holes are provided on both the limit block 23 and the side shift guide rail 22, and a plurality of positioning holes on the side shift guide rail 22 are arranged at intervals along the second direction. By means of a connecting piece inserted into the positioning holes of the limit block 23 and the side shift guide rail 22, the fixing of the limit block 23 can be realized, and by adjusting the position of the positioning hole on the side shift guide rail 22 into which the connecting piece is inserted, the adjustment of the position of the limit block 23 relative to the side shift guide rail 22 can be realized. The connecting piece can adopt, including but not limited to, a plug pin and a fastening screw.

[0037] In one embodiment, the lifting drive structure 31 includes a lifting motor 311. In order to convert the rotational motion of the lifting motor 311 into linear motion, the lifting drive structure 31 also includes a screw rod 312 as a first output end. The lifting mounting seat 32 is spirally transmitted to the screw rod 312, that is, the screw rod 312 is rotatably set at the second output end of the side shift assembly 2. The lifting motor 311 can drive the screw rod 312 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting mounting seat 32 to rise and fall.

[0038] Specifically, two lifting mounting seats 32 and telescopic drive structures 12 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The two telescopic drive structures 12 are respectively installed on the two lifting mounting seats 32. In order to make the two lifting mounting seats 32 move synchronously, the two lifting mounting seats 32 are fixedly connected or synchronously transmitted.

[0039] Taking the synchronous transmission connection of two lifting mounts 32 as an example (if a fixed connection is adopted, it is easy to interfere with the processing process when the workpiece is in the first working position), two screw rods 312 are provided, and the top ends of the two screw rods 312 are both sleeved with synchronous pulleys 314, and the two synchronous pulleys 314 are wrapped with synchronous belts 313, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the screw rods 312.

[0040] In other embodiments, when the distance between the two screw rods 312 along the first direction is small, a synchronous transmission connection can be achieved between the two screw rods 312 via a gear set.

[0041] Specifically, both ends of the lifting mounting seat 32 along the second direction are slidably disposed on the lateral displacement mounting seat 24 to improve the stability of the lifting mounting seat 32 when moving along the third direction.

[0042] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the support plate 11 is configured to be L-shaped, including a horizontally set first end and a vertically set second end. The telescopic drive structure 12 is connected to the second end of the support plate 11. The telescopic drive structure 12 can adopt a linear drive structure including but not limited to an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc.

[0043] Specifically, in order to guide the movement of the support plate 11 in the first direction, the clamping assembly 1 further includes a guide rod 13 extending in the first direction. One end of the guide rod 13 is slidably mounted on the side shift mounting seat 24, and the other end is connected to the second end of the support plate 11. More specifically, the same support plate 11 is connected to two guide rods 13 spaced apart in the second direction.

[0044] In other embodiments, the side shift assembly 2 uses rollers provided at the bottom of the lifting assembly 3 and a motor for driving the rollers to rotate, and in this case the entire transport device moves sideways as a whole.

[0045] Based on the embodiment where the rack 4 has a first working station and a second working station, the entire process of the handling device handling workpieces will be briefly described below. Initially, the side shift mounting seat 24 is located at the first working station. The lifting drive structure 31 lifts the clamping assembly 1 to a position below the workpiece on the working surface at the first working station or below the storage rack on which the workpiece is placed. After the telescopic drive structure 12 controls the pallet 11 to move towards the workpiece until the pallet 11 is at a certain position relative to the bottom surface of the workpiece or the storage rack, the lifting drive structure 31 continues to lift it until the workpiece or the storage rack is completely separated from the working surface of the first working station. Subsequently, the side shift drive structure 21 drives the side shift mounting seat 24 to move along the second direction to transfer the workpiece or the storage rack above the second working station. The lifting drive structure 31 drives the clamping assembly 1 downward to stably place the workpiece or the storage rack on the working surface of the second working station, and then drives the clamping assembly 1 to move downward by a certain distance. At the same time, the telescopic drive structure 12 moves away from the workpiece to ensure that the pallet 11 does not interfere with the workpiece. After that, the clamping assembly 1 returns to its initial position to perform the handling operation of the next workpiece.

[0046] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
