[0037] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a material unloading device 1 is provided, which is used to transport finished products after processing. The material unloading device 1 includes a conveying mechanism 10, a quality inspection mechanism 11, a discharge mechanism 12 and a handling mechanism 13. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to transport the finished products along a first direction.

[0039] The quality inspection mechanism 11 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 along the second direction, and the quality inspection mechanism 11 is configured to inspect the finished products to distinguish the finished products into qualified products and defective products;

[0040] The discharge mechanism 12 is connected to the conveying mechanism 10 , and is configured to transport defective products along the second direction; the transport mechanism 13 is configured to transport qualified products to a designated area.

[0041] The unloading equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for transporting finished products that have completed processing operations. For example, the unloading equipment is used to transport memory connectors that have completed assembly operations. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 10 first transports the memory connector to the workstation where the quality inspection mechanism 11 is located. The quality inspection mechanism 11 performs a quality inspection on the memory connector and identifies defective products, thereby distinguishing the memory connector into qualified products and defective products. Then, the defective products are transported by the discharge mechanism 12; the qualified products are transported by the conveying mechanism 13, thereby completely separating the qualified products from the defective products. Optionally, the designated area to which the conveying mechanism 13 transports the qualified products can be, for example, the next workstation or the cache silo 15.

[0042] In the unloading equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conveying mechanism 10 is extended along the first direction, and it can convey the memory connector along the first direction; the quality inspection mechanism 11 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 along the second direction, and the discharge mechanism 12 is arranged adjacent to the quality inspection mechanism 11, and the discharge mechanism 12 can transport defective products along the second direction; thus, when the memory connector flows on the conveying mechanism 10 along the first direction, it first passes through the quality inspection mechanism 11, and then the unqualified products flow to the discharge mechanism 12 and are transported away from the unloading equipment; at the same time, the qualified products are transported to the designated area by the transporting mechanism 13.

[0043] The unloading equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application has a compact structure and a reasonable layout. The entire process of conveying, quality inspecting, distinguishing qualified products from defective products, and transporting qualified products and defective products separately is a fully automatic process without the need for human intervention. The degree of automation and work efficiency are high, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveying channel 100 and a material shifting assembly 101, the conveying channel 100 extends along a first direction, the material shifting assembly 101 is connected to the conveying channel 100, and the material shifting assembly 101 is used to shift the finished product along the conveying channel 100.

[0045] In this specific example, the finished product is transported in the conveying channel 100, and the material shifting component 101 provides driving force for the movement of the finished product in the conveying channel 100. The material shifting component 101 shifts the finished product along the conveying channel 100 under the driving action of the power system.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the quality inspection mechanism 11 includes a visual inspection component 111, and the visual inspection component 111 is used to take photos to inspect the finished products.

[0047] In this specific example, the visual inspection component 111 is used to take photos of the finished products to distinguish between qualified products and defective products; specifically, the visual inspection component 111 uses image acquisition, image processing, feature extraction, feature recognition and feature judgment to distinguish between qualified products and defective products, and its inspection speed is fast and the inspection accuracy is high.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the quality inspection mechanism 11 further includes an inspection driver 112 , which is connected to the visual inspection component 111 , and can drive the visual inspection component 111 to translate along a first direction.

[0049] In this specific example, an inspection drive 112 is used to provide driving force to the visual inspection component 111 to drive the visual inspection component 111 to move translationally along a first direction, thereby expanding the inspection range of the visual inspection component 111 to enable inspection of finished products at different positions on the conveying channel 100.

[0050] Optionally, the inspection drive member 112 may be a power source capable of providing a linear translation driving force, such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a linear motor, a motor and a ball screw pair, and the like.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the quality inspection mechanism 11 further includes a guide rail 113 and a guide slider 114, the guide rail 113 extends along a first direction, the guide slider 114 is installed on the visual inspection component 111, and the guide slider 114 is slidably connected to the guide rail 113.

[0052] In this specific example, a guide rail 113 and a guide slider 114, which are slidably coupled to each other, guide the translational movement of the visual inspection assembly 111 along a first direction, ensuring the smooth translation of the visual inspection assembly 111 along the first direction and preventing shaking and deflection during movement. The guide rail 113 is fixedly mounted using fasteners or other means and extends along the first direction. The guide slider 114 is fixedly mounted to the visual inspection assembly 111, ensuring that the visual inspection assembly 111 and the guide slider 114 can synchronously translate and slide along the guide rail 113.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the discharge mechanism 12 includes a discharge drive member 121 and a discharge belt 122, and the discharge belt 122 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 10 along the second direction, and the discharge belt 122 is arranged adjacent to the quality inspection mechanism 11;

[0054] The discharge drive member 121 is disposed on the other side of the conveying mechanism 10 along the second direction, and the discharge drive member 121 is disposed opposite to the discharge belt 122;

[0055] The discharge drive 121 is used to push defective products to the discharge belt 122 along the second direction, and the discharge belt 122 is used to transport the defective products along the second direction.

[0056] In this specific example, after defective products are inspected and identified by the visual inspection assembly 111, the discharge drive 121 first pushes the defective products along the second direction to the discharge belt 122, and then the discharge belt 122 transports the defective products away from the unloading device. Through the coordinated action of the discharge drive 121 and the discharge belt 122, the defective products can be quickly driven away from the conveying mechanism 10 and transported to an area outside the unloading device.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the unloading equipment also includes a sorting mechanism 14, which is arranged on the side of the discharge mechanism 12 away from the quality inspection mechanism 11; the sorting mechanism 14 is used to move qualified products to the temporary storage area along the second direction, and the conveying mechanism 13 conveys the qualified products from the temporary storage area to the designated area.

[0058] In this specific example, before the transport mechanism 13 transports qualified products, the sorting mechanism 14 first moves the qualified products from the conveying mechanism 10 to the temporary storage area. This helps to quickly separate qualified products from defective products and improve transportation efficiency. In addition, the sorting mechanism 14 can pre-arrange the qualified products at a certain distance, making it easier for the transport mechanism 13 to pick up the qualified products.

[0059] Optionally, the sorting mechanism 14 includes, for example, a sorting cylinder 141 and a sorting motor 142 . The sorting cylinder 141 first pushes the qualified products along the second direction, and then the sorting motor 142 further drives the qualified products to move along the second direction to the temporary storage area.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the transport mechanism 13 includes a transport drive 131, a transport shaft 132 and a picking component 133, the transport drive 131 is connected to the transport shaft 132, and the picking component 133 is installed on the transport shaft 132; the transport drive 131 drives the transport shaft 132 to rotate, so as to drive the picking component 133 to move along the transport shaft 132; the picking component 133 is configured to pick up qualified products.

[0061] In this specific example, for example, the transport drive 131 is a motor, and the motor drives a ball screw pair to realize the axial translation movement of the picking component 133 along the transport shaft 132; for example, the transport shaft 132 extends along the first direction, and the picking component 133 translates along the first direction to transport qualified products.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the picking assembly 133 includes a clamping jaw 1331 and an opening and closing cylinder 1332. The opening and closing cylinder 1332 is installed on the transport shaft 132. The clamping jaw 1331 is connected to the opening and closing cylinder 1332. The opening and closing cylinder 1332 can drive the clamping jaw 1331 to open and close.

[0063] In this specific example, the opening and closing cylinder 1332 can drive the clamping claws 1331 to open and close to achieve the picking of qualified products.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the picking component 133 also includes a lifting cylinder 1333, the opening and closing cylinder 1332 is installed on the lifting cylinder 1333, the lifting cylinder 1333 is installed on the transport shaft 132, the opening and closing cylinder 1332 is installed on the transport shaft 132 through the lifting cylinder 1333, and the lifting cylinder 1333 can drive the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping claw 1331 to move up and down along the third direction.

[0065] In this specific example, the lifting cylinder 1333 can drive the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping jaw 1331 to move up and down along a third direction (for example, a vertical direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction), so that when transporting qualified products, the lifting cylinder 1333 first drives the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping jaw 1331 to move downward, and then the opening and closing cylinder 1332 drives the clamping jaw 1331 to open and close to pick up qualified products, and then the lifting cylinder drives the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping jaw 1331 to move upward to leave the temporary storage area near the sorting mechanism 14, and finally the transport drive 131 and the transport shaft 132 drive the picking component 133 to move to the designated area. When the qualified products are placed in the designated area, the lifting cylinder 1333 also drives the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping jaw 1331 to move downward first, and then the opening and closing cylinder 1332 drives the clamping jaw 1331 to open to release the qualified products, and then the lifting cylinder drives the opening and closing cylinder 1332 and the clamping jaw 1331 to move upward to reset.
