Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of product processing equipment, and relates to a loading and unloading device and processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the process of processing some products, a fixture with a top cover and a buckle mechanism inside is required to fix the product. When the product processing is completed, a bolt is inserted through the top cover and into the fixture from the top of the fixture, so that the buckle mechanism inside the fixture opens, and the fixture releases the product. However, since the product is placed on the top of the fixture, the bolt needs to pass through the product and the top cover and insert into the fixture. During the process of inserting the bolt into the fixture, the bolt is likely to contact the product and cause damage to the product. At the same time, when the processed product is unloaded from the fixture and the unprocessed product is placed on the fixture, when there is a position deviation between the product and the fixture, the local part of the product interferes with the fixture, resulting in product damage. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a loading and unloading device to solve the problem that products are easily damaged during the loading and unloading process.

[0015] In the above embodiments, the product is pushed towards the first positioning member by the second positioning member to meet the effect of positioning the positioning mechanism for products of different sizes.

[0016] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading device further includes a detection component, and the detection component is arranged on the bearing plate. The detection component is used to detect the product on the bearing plate and send a feedback signal to the second cylinder.

[0017] In the above embodiments, a feedback signal is sent to the second cylinder by the detection component to enable the positioning mechanism to automatically position the product.

[0018] A processing device includes a processing unit, a conveying unit, and the above-mentioned loading and unloading unit. The processing unit is arranged on one side of the frame and is used for processing products. The conveying unit is used to convey the side-insertion fixture from the self-pickup and placement area to the processing area of the processing unit, or to convey the side-insertion fixture from the processing area of the processing unit to the pickup and placement area.

[0019] In the above embodiments, the side-insertion fixture carrying the product is conveyed between the processing unit and the loading and unloading unit by the conveying unit to achieve the effect of continuously processing the product by the processing unit.

[0020] In some embodiments, the processing device includes a plurality of side-insertion fixtures, which are respectively connected to the conveying unit. The top of the side-insertion fixture is used for clamping the product, and a socket is provided on one side of the side-insertion fixture. The socket is used for inserting a pin into the side-insertion fixture to release the product held by the side-insertion fixture.

[0021] In the above embodiments, a socket is provided on one side of the side-insertion fixture so that when the pin is inserted into the side-insertion fixture, the pin can move away from the product at the top of the side-insertion fixture.

[0022] In some embodiments, the processing device includes a plurality of side-insertion fixtures. Each side-insertion fixture includes a base, a buckle mechanism, and a top cover.

When the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug is located between the two contact portions and acts on the two contact portions, so that the two contact portions are away from each other. The contact portion synchronously drives the corresponding snap portion to move, so that the two snap portions are closer to each other and away from the top cover respectively, and at the same time the snap member compresses the corresponding compression spring. When the plug is pulled out of the socket, the plug cancels the acting force applied to the contact portion, and the compression spring applies an acting force to the corresponding snap member and pushes the snap member to move back to its original position.

[0025] In the above embodiments, when the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug acts on the contact portion, so that the contact portion drives the two snap portions away from the top cover, thereby canceling the restrictive effect of the snap portion on the top cover. When the plug is pulled out of the socket, the compression spring pushes the two snap members to move back to their original positions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0071] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0072] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "arranged on" another component, it can be directly arranged on the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. The terms "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", and similar expressions used in this article are only for the purpose of illustration.

[0073] The terms "first", "second", etc. can only distinguish different objects and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity, specific order or primary - secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0074] It should be recognized that the dimensions of the structures shown in the drawings are given for better understanding and more convenient description, and the present application is not limited to the dimensions shown in the drawings. For the sake of clarity of the present application, elements irrelevant to the description are omitted from the details of this specification.

[0075] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this article have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0076] Some fixtures for clamping products are top-insertion fixtures (not shown). Such top-insertion fixtures include a top cover, and both the top cover and the top of the top-insertion fixture are provided with insertion sockets. When the product is processed, a pin is passed through the top cover and inserted into the fixture from the top of the fixture, so that the elastic piece clamping mechanism inside the fixture is opened, thereby loosening the fixture from the product. However, since the product is placed on the top of the fixture, the pin needs to pass through the product and the top cover and insert into the fixture. During the process of inserting the pin into the fixture, it is easy to cause the phenomenon that the pin contacts the product and damages the product. At the same time, when the product to be processed is placed on the top of the fixture to make the fixture clamp the product, a downward force needs to be applied to the product to make the product contact the fixture and make part of the fixture located inside the product. However, when the position of the product deviates relative to the fixture, due to the interference between part of the product and the fixture, there is a risk of product damage when continuing to apply a downward force to the product.

[0077] An embodiment of the present application provides a loading and unloading device, including: a frame, a positioning mechanism, a side-insertion mechanism, and a manipulator. A picking and placing area is provided on one side of the frame, and the picking and placing area is used to accommodate a side-insertion fixture. The positioning mechanism is arranged on the frame. The positioning mechanism has a carrying area, and the carrying area is used to accommodate products. The positioning mechanism is configured to position the products in the carrying area. The side-insertion mechanism includes a first cylinder and a pin. The first cylinder is arranged on the frame. The first cylinder is located on one side of the picking and placing area. The first cylinder is connected to the pin. The first cylinder is configured to drive the pin to extend into the picking and placing area, so that the pin is inserted into the insertion socket of the side-insertion fixture along one side of the side-insertion fixture. The pin acts on the side-insertion fixture and opens the side-insertion fixture. The first cylinder is further configured to drive the pin away from the picking and placing area, so that the pin is pulled out of the side-insertion fixture. The manipulator is arranged on one side of the frame, and the manipulator is configured to obtain the products on the side-insertion fixture, or move the products in the carrying area to the side-insertion fixture in the picking and placing area.

[0078] For the loading and unloading device in the above embodiment, the products are positioned by the positioning mechanism, so that when the manipulator places the products on the side-insertion fixture, the position deviation between the products and the side-insertion fixture can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of product damage caused by interference with the side-insertion fixture. At the same time, the cylinder is used to drive the pin to be inserted into the side-insertion fixture along the side, so that the pin is far away from the product, reducing the risk of interference between the pin and the product during the process of inserting the pin into the side-insertion fixture from the top of the side-insertion fixture, which helps to reduce product damage.

[0079] Next, some embodiments of the present application will be described in conjunction with the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0080] In some embodiments, the processing equipment includes a loading and unloading device 10, a processing device (not shown), a conveying device (not shown), and a side-insertion fixture 20 (not shown). The processing device is located on one side of the loading and unloading device 10, the conveying device is located on one side of the processing device, and the side-insertion fixture 20 is located on the conveying device. During operation, the loading and unloading device 10 places the product to be processed (not shown) on the side-insertion fixture 20 on the conveying device to fix the product by the side-insertion fixture 20. The conveying device synchronously conveys the side-insertion fixture 20 and the product to the processing area of the processing device, so that the processing device processes the product. After the product is processed, the conveying device conveys the side-insertion fixture 20 from the processing device to the loading and unloading device 10 again. The loading and unloading device 10 removes the processed product on the side-insertion fixture 20 and then places the product to be processed on the side-insertion fixture 20, and cycles in this way to realize the function of automatically processing the product.

[0081] In some embodiments, the product is a mobile phone case, and the processing device is a polishing device for wet-polishing the outer surface of the mobile phone case.

[0082] In other embodiments, the product is other industrial semi-finished products, and the processing device is a device for processing workpieces such as spraying or welding the industrial semi-finished products.

[0083] In other embodiments, the side-insertion fixture 20 is a component detachably provided on the conveying device from the outside.

[0084] In some embodiments, the conveying device conveys multiple side-insertion fixtures 20 simultaneously, so that the multiple side-insertion fixtures 20 sequentially pass through the loading and unloading device 10, the processing device, and the loading and unloading device 10, thereby realizing continuous operation of the loading and unloading device 10 and the processing device, reducing the idle time of the loading and unloading device 10 and the processing device, and achieving the effect of improving the processing efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0085] In some embodiments, the conveying device is a turntable, and the number of side-insertion fixtures 20 on the turntable is eight. The side-insertion fixtures 20 are uniformly and spacedly fixed on the turntable along the circumferential direction of the turntable.

[0086] In other embodiments, the conveying device is a slide rail, the side-insertion fixture 20 is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and multiple side-insertion fixtures 20 are connected to each other by a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain, and the conveyor belt or the conveyor chain can synchronously drive the multiple side-insertion fixtures 20 to slide.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the side-inserting fixture 20 includes a base 21, a snap mechanism 22 and a top cover 23. The bottom of the base 21 can be connected to the conveying device, and a socket 211 is provided on one side of the base 21. The top cover 23 is detachably connected to the base 21, and the top cover 23 can cover the top of the base 21 and jointly clamp the product with the base 21. The snap mechanism 22 is arranged inside the base 21. The side-inserting fixture 20 has a clamping state and an open state. When a part of the loading and unloading device 10 is inserted into the socket 211 and acts on the snap mechanism 22 inside the side-inserting fixture 20, the snap mechanism 22 releases the top cover 23, and the top cover 23 is separated from the base 21, and the side-inserting fixture 20 is in the open state. When the top cover 23 covers the top of the base 21, and a part of the loading and unloading device 10 is pulled out from the socket 211 and the acting force on the snap mechanism 22 is withdrawn, a part of the snap mechanism 22 is inserted into the top cover 23 and restricts the movement of the top cover 23 relative to the base 21, and the side-inserting fixture 20 is in the clamping state.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , two hooks 231 are provided at the bottom of the top cover 23, and the two hooks 231 are arranged oppositely. When the top cover 23 covers the top of the base 21, all the hooks 231 of the top cover 23 are inserted into the base 21.

[0089] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 3, the buckle mechanism 22 includes two buckle members 221 and two compression springs 222. The two buckle members 221 are relatively slidably disposed within the side-insert type fixture 20, and one compression spring 222 is respectively in contact with one buckle member 221 and the base 21. Each buckle member 221 includes a connected clamping portion 2211 and a contact portion 2212. The two clamping portions 2211 of the buckle member 221 are away from each other along the sliding direction of the buckle member 221. The contact portion 2212 of one buckle member 221 is closer to the other buckle member 221 relative to the corresponding clamping portion 2211. The contact portion 2212 of one buckle member 221 extends between the clamping portion 2211 and the contact portion 2212 of the other buckle member 221 in the sliding direction of the buckle member 221. When the top cover 23 is closed on the top of the base 21 and jointly clamps the product with the top of the base 21, the two hooks 231 are inserted into the base 21. The clamping portion 2211 of one buckle member 221 can be inserted into one hook 231 to limit the up-and-down movement of the hook 231 and make the hook 231 synchronously drive the top cover 23 and the base 21 to remain stationary. When a partial acting force of the loading and unloading device 10 contacts the contact portion 2212 and acts on the two contact portions 2212, the two contact portions 2212 move away from each other and respectively drive the two clamping portions 2211 to approach each other, and make the clamping portion 2211 away from the buckle, so as to release the hook 231 by the buckle member 221, facilitate the movement of the top cover 23 relative to the base 21, and separate the top cover 23 from the base 21, thereby realizing the release of the product by the side-insert type fixture 20. When the two buckle members 221 release the hook 231, each buckle member 221 compresses the spring 222 respectively, so as to push the buckle member 221 to move back to its original position when the loading and unloading device 10 withdraws the acting force on the contact portion 2212.

[0090] A protrusion (not marked) is provided in the middle of each buckle member 221 (i.e., between the clamping portion 2211 and the contact portion 2212), and the protrusion is used for connecting with the compression spring 222.

[0091] In some embodiments, each buckle member 221 is connected to at least two compression springs 222.

[0092] In some embodiments, a guide rod 212 is provided in the base 21, and the two buckle members 221 are respectively slidably connected to the guide rod 212.

[0093] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 5, the loading and unloading device 10 includes a frame 11, a positioning mechanism 12, a side insertion mechanism 13 and a manipulator (not shown). Products are placed on the top of the frame 11, and the positioning mechanism 12 is arranged on the frame 11 to position the products. The side insertion mechanism 13 includes a first cylinder 131 and a pin 132. The first cylinder 131 is arranged on the top of the frame 11, the first cylinder 131 is located on one side of the positioning mechanism 12, and the pin 132 is connected to the first cylinder 131. The manipulator is arranged on one side of the frame 11. A picking and placing area 110 for accommodating the side insertion fixture 20 is arranged outside the frame 11, and the first cylinder 131 is closer to the picking and placing area 110 relative to the positioning mechanism 12.

[0094] After the conveying device conveys the side insertion fixture 20 carrying the processed product to the picking and placing area 110, the first cylinder 131 drives the pin 132 to move into the picking and placing area 110, and makes the pin 132 insert into the socket 211 along one side of the base 21, and acts on the two contact parts 2212, so that the two contact parts 2212 respectively drive the two clamping parts 2211 to approach each other, and make the part away from the clamping part 2211 move away from the buckle, so as to realize that the buckle part 221 releases the hook 231, so that the manipulator can drive the top cover 23 to move relative to the base 21, and make the top cover 23 separate from the base 21, and further realize that the side insertion fixture 20 releases the product. At this time, the buckle part 221 compresses the compression spring 222 through the protrusion. Relative to the pin 132 passing through the top cover 23 and the product in sequence along the top of the side insertion fixture 20 and inserting into the base 21, since the product is located on the top of the base 21, the pin 132 needs to pass through the product to insert into the base 21. By the way of inserting the pin 132 along one side of the base 21, it helps to reduce the risk of interference between the pin 132 and the product, so as to reduce the risk of product damage, so that the manipulator can unload the intact product on the top of the side insertion fixture 20.

[0095] After the manipulator unloads the processed product, the first cylinder 131 stops working, so that the pin 132 remains inserted into the side insertion fixture 20 and acts on the two buckle parts 221, so that the side insertion fixture 20 remains in the released state, so as to facilitate the placement of the product to be processed on the top of the side insertion fixture 20.

[0096] After the manipulator unloads the processed product, the manipulator places a product to be processed on the frame 11, and positions the product through the positioning mechanism 12, so that the placement angle of the product corresponds to the side insertion fixture 20, so as to calibrate the position of the product before the manipulator places the product on the top of the base 21, so that when the manipulator places the positioned product on the top of the base 21, the product can be vertically aligned with the base 21, which helps to reduce the risk of interference between the product and the side insertion fixture 20.

[0097] When the manipulator places the positioned product on the top of the base 21, since the socket 211 of the side-insert type fixture 20 is located on one side of the base 21, the pin 132 corresponding to the socket 211 is located on one side of the base 21, relative to the pin 132 being on the top of the base 21, enabling the pin 132 to be away from the product, thus avoiding interference between the product and the pin 132, which helps reduce the risk of damage to the product during loading.

[0098] After the manipulator places the product and the top cover 23 on the top of the base 21 in sequence, the first cylinder 131 drives the pin 132 away from the picking and placing area 110, so that the pin 132 is pulled out of the socket 211, and the compression spring 222 applies a reset force to the buckle member 221, so that the two latching parts 2211 move away from each other and are respectively inserted into the corresponding buckles, enabling the latching part 2211 to restrict the movement of the top cover 23 through the hook 231, achieving the effect of clamping and fixing the product by the side-insert type fixture 20. Then the conveying device conveys the side-insert type fixture 20 fixing the product to be processed from the picking and placing area 110 to the processing device, and at the same time, the conveying device conveys the side-insert type fixture 20 fixing the processed product from the processing area of the processing device to the picking and placing area 110.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to [[ID= and ​ , a fixing plate 111 is provided on the top of the frame 11. The side-insert mechanism 13 further includes a mounting plate 134. The mounting plate 134 includes an opposite first end 1341 and a second end 1342. The first end 1341 is connected to the fixing plate 111, and the second end 1342 extends towards the picking and placing area 110. The cylinder is arranged on the mounting plate 134, and the first cylinder 131 is closer to the second end 1342 relative to the first end 1341. By extending the mounting plate 134 towards the picking and placing area 110, the first cylinder 131 and the pin 132 are closer to the picking and placing area 110 relative to the frame 11, so as to move the frame 11 away from the picking and placing area 110, reducing the risk of interference between the frame 11 and the conveying device.

[0100] The picking and placing area 110 partially overlaps with the turntable of the conveying device, so that the conveying device conveys the fixture to the picking and placing area 110. Since the turntable of the conveying mechanism has a certain curvature, when the conveying device conveys the fixture to the picking and placing area 110, the orientation of the socket 211 of the fixture will change with different angles at which the turntable stops.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first end 1341 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 111 to adjust the direction of the second end 1342, thereby synchronously adjusting the direction of the first cylinder 131, so that the first cylinder 131 can drive the pin 132 to extend and retract in multiple directions, so as to achieve the effect that the pin 132 can be inserted into the socket 211 of the side-insertion fixture 20 in different directions, thereby realizing the function of the loading and unloading device 10 to load and unload the side-insertion fixture 20 on the conveying device rotated to different positions.

[0102] In some embodiments, see ​ The mounting plate 134 is provided with a second guide groove 1343, which is arc-shaped. The side insertion mechanism 13 also includes a bolt 135, a portion of which passes through the second guide groove 1343 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 134. When the mounting plate 134 needs to be rotated to adjust its position, the bolt 135 is loosened and the mounting plate 134 is rotated. The inner sidewall of the second guide groove 1343 contacts the bolt 135, thereby guiding the rotation of the mounting plate 134 and improving the stability of the rotation of the mounting plate 134. After the mounting plate 134 has been rotated, the bolt 135 is tightened so that the nut of the bolt 135 acts on the mounting plate 134, thereby securing the mounting plate 134.

[0103] In some embodiments, see ​ The side insertion mechanism 13 also includes a guide block 133 disposed at the second end 1342. A first guide slot 1331 is defined in the guide block 133 and extends through the guide block 133 along the direction of the cylinder's extension and contraction. The latch 132 is partially located within the first guide slot 1331. When the first cylinder 131 drives the latch 132 to extend and retract, the guide block 133 guides the latch 132, thereby improving the stability of the latch's extension and retraction, and facilitating the accurate insertion of the latch 132 into the side insertion jig 20.

[0104] In some embodiments, see ​ and ​ The latch 132 includes a connecting block 1321 and an inserting rod 1322, which are connected to each other. The connecting block 1321 is connected to the first cylinder 131. The first cylinder 131 drives the connecting block 1321 to move and simultaneously drives the inserting rod 1322 to move, thereby realizing the function of inserting the inserting rod 1322 into the side-insertion fixture 20 or removing the plug-in portion 13221 from the side-insertion fixture 20. The connecting block 1321 and the inserting rod 1322 are detachably connected to facilitate replacement of different inserting rods 1322 according to different side-insertion fixtures 20.

[0105] For further information, see ​, the connecting block 1321 is provided with a T-shaped groove 13211. The T-shaped groove 13211 is located on one side of the connecting block 1321. One end of the insertion rod 1322 facing the connecting hole is provided with a plug-in portion 13221. By pressing the plug-in portion 13221 into the T-shaped groove 13211 or pushing the plug-in portion 13221 out of the T-shaped groove 13211, the effect of quickly detachable connection between the insertion rod 1322 and the connecting block 1321 is achieved.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to ​ and ​ , a bearing plate 112 is provided on the top of the frame 11. The bearing plate 112 is located on one side of the fixing plate 111. The positioning mechanism 12 includes a plurality of first positioning members 122. The plurality of first positioning members 122 are provided on the top surface of the bearing plate 112, and the plurality of first positioning members 122 enclose to form a bearing area 121. The positions of the bearing area 121 and the first positioning members 122 are related to. The product to be processed is moved downward by the manipulator to the bearing area 121. When the projection of the product in the up-down direction deviates from the bearing area 121, the plurality of first positioning members 122 respectively contact the edge of the product to correct the position of the product and place the product in the bearing area 121, so that the position of the product corresponds to the side-insertion jig 20.

[0107] Since the position of the product in the bearing area 121 corresponds to the side-insertion jig 20, when the manipulator moves above the side-insertion jig 20 to place the product in the bearing area 121 on the top of the side-insertion jig 20, it is not necessary to adjust the angle or position of the product separately, and the projection of the product in the up-down direction can be made to coincide with the projection of the side-insertion jig 20, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the local part of the product and the side-insertion jig 20 due to the deviation of the position of the product relative to the side-insertion jig 20, and reducing the damage of the product during the process of the manipulator pressing down the product and making the product cooperate with the side-insertion jig 20.

[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to ​, the positioning mechanism 12 further includes a second cylinder 123 and a second positioning member 124. The second cylinder 123 is disposed on the carrier plate 112, and the second cylinder 123 and a part of the first positioning member 122 are located on opposite sides of the loading area 121. The second positioning member 124 is connected to the second cylinder 123. After the manipulator places the product in the loading area 121, the second cylinder 123 drives the second positioning member 124 to move closer to the product in the loading area 121, and pushes the product towards the first positioning member 122, so that the first positioning member 122 and the second positioning member 124 jointly position the product. At the same time, by driving the second positioning member 124 to move with the cylinder, on the premise that the first positioning member 122 and the loading area 121 remain unchanged, products of different sizes can respectively contact the first positioning member 122 and the second positioning member 124, thereby achieving the effect of positioning products of different sizes.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to ​ , the number of the second cylinders 123 is two, and the two second cylinders 123 are respectively telescopically arranged along the X-axis and the Y-axis, so that the two second cylinders 123 respectively drive the second positioning member 124 to push the product to move towards the first positioning member 122 along the X-axis and the Y-axis respectively, thereby achieving the effect that the positioning mechanism 12 positions the product along the X-axis and the Y-axis simultaneously.

[0110] In some embodiments, please refer to ​ , the number of the second positioning members 124 is multiple, and each second cylinder 123 is connected to the multiple second positioning members 124 through a connecting rod.

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to ​ and 5 , the loading and unloading device 10 further includes a detection component 14. The detection component 14 is disposed on the carrier plate 112, and the detection area emits a detection signal into the loading area 121. After the manipulator places the product in the loading area 121, the detection component 14 detects the product and sends a feedback signal to the second cylinder 123, so that the second cylinder 123 drives the second positioning member 124 to act on the product, thereby improving the automation function of the loading and unloading device 10. Exemplarily, the detection component 14 is a photoelectric sensor penetrating through the carrier plate 112 in the up and down direction, and the photoelectric sensor emits an induction signal into the loading area 121.

[0112] In other embodiments, according to the size of the product, adjusting the position of the first positioning member 122 on the carrier plate 112 to change the range of the loading area 121 can also achieve the effect that the positioning mechanism 12 positions products of different sizes.

[0113] In some embodiments, the working end of the manipulator is a suction cup. By using the suction cup to pick up the product, compared with the way of clamping the product by a jaw, the manipulator can use the soft-contact suction cup to replace the jaw to contact the product, thereby reducing the risk of product damage.

[0114] In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, rather than to limit the present application. As long as it is within the substantial scope of the present application, appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments fall within the scope disclosed in the present application.
