[0030] The utility model provides a dual-station loading and unloading device. By providing a dual-station loading mechanism, the device can simultaneously process products at two stations, achieving parallel operation. This reduces waiting time and improves the overall efficiency of the production line. Automated loading and unloading reduces reliance on manual labor and lowers labor costs. Furthermore, due to the increased production efficiency, more products can be produced per unit time, further diluting fixed costs such as equipment depreciation and site rental, thereby reducing overall production costs. The use of automated equipment such as robots or robotic arms for product placement eliminates the safety risks associated with manual operation, such as hand injuries and dropped products. Furthermore, automated equipment generally offers higher precision and stability, reducing product damage and quality issues caused by human factors, thereby improving the reliability of the production process and product quality. The device features a compact structure, particularly by arranging the first and second station components on either side of the baseplate. The space below the baseplate is cleverly utilized to accommodate the first and second suction elements. This reduces the device's footprint and allows for flexible adaptation to confined workstation environments. It also facilitates integration with other production equipment, creating a more efficient production line layout. This dual-station loading and unloading system can be flexibly configured and adjusted to meet actual production needs. For example, the appropriate pickup can be selected based on product characteristics such as size, shape, and weight; the equipment's position and angle can be adjusted to suit the production line layout and process flow; and the number of stations can be increased or decreased as production scale changes. This flexibility and scalability allows the equipment to adapt to diverse production scenarios and changing needs. Example

[0031] The present invention provides a dual-station loading and unloading device. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the loading mechanism 10 includes a base plate 110, a first station assembly 120 and a second station assembly 130, the first station assembly 120 and the second station assembly 130 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base plate 110, the first station assembly 120 includes a first suction member 1210, the second station assembly 130 includes a second suction member 1310, the first suction member 1210 and the second suction member 1310 are located below the base plate 110; the driving mechanism 20, the driving mechanism 20 is connected to the loading mechanism 10, and is used to drive the loading mechanism 10 to move; the main control mechanism 30, the main control mechanism 30 is electrically connected to the loading mechanism 10 and the driving mechanism 20 respectively.

[0032] Such dual-station loading and unloading equipment can realize automatic dual-station pick-up and placement, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs; the robot picks and places products safely and reliably, and can avoid damage to the products; the equipment has a compact structure and can be used in workstations with limited space.

[0033] More specifically, the drive mechanism 20 may be a six-axis robot. A six-axis robot possesses six degrees of freedom, enabling complex and precise path planning and motion control in three dimensions. This allows it to easily handle products of varying shapes, sizes, and weights, as well as perform pick-and-place operations at various heights, angles, and positions. The six-axis robot can be equipped with high-precision servo motors and encoders, enabling micron-level positioning accuracy. This ensures accurate product placement during loading and unloading, reduces errors and deviations, and improves the overall precision and product quality of the production line.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the first station assembly 120 further includes a third suction member 1220, and the second station assembly 130 further includes a fourth suction member. The third suction member 1220 and the fourth suction member are located below the bottom plate 110. More specifically, the bottom plate 110 is in an I-shape.

[0035] It can be understood that the I-shaped base plate 110 not only enhances the strength and stability of the base plate 110, but also optimizes the overall structure of the equipment. This allows the base plate 110 to maintain a low weight and compact size while carrying the first station assembly 120 and the second station assembly 130, making it easy to install and move in a small space. The middle part of the I-shaped structure can serve as a reinforcing rib to improve the bending resistance of the base plate 110, while the extended parts on both sides can provide sufficient installation space and freedom of movement for the first station assembly 120 and the second station assembly 130. This allows the equipment to remain compact while also having a high degree of flexibility and adaptability.

[0036] The addition of a third suction piece 1220 to the first station assembly 120 and a fourth suction piece to the second station assembly 130 means that each station can handle more products or more complex pick-and-place tasks simultaneously. This significantly improves the equipment's production efficiency and throughput, especially when handling small products or when multiple parts need to be grasped simultaneously. On automated production lines, reducing waiting time is key to improving efficiency. By increasing the number of suction pieces, dual-station loading and unloading equipment can complete more pick-and-place operations in a shorter time, thereby reducing waiting time on the production line and improving overall production efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the first suction member 1210 or the second suction member 1310 or the third suction member 1220 or the fourth suction member is connected to the bottom plate 110 through the adjustment connection member 140. More specifically, one side of the adjustment connection member 140 is connected to the bottom plate 110, and the other side is connected to the suction cup 150.

[0038] In this way, the adjustment connector 140 allows the suction piece to be adjusted in the horizontal or vertical direction within the space below the base plate 110. This means that no matter how the placement of the product changes, accurate grasping can be ensured by adjusting the position of the suction piece. In addition to position adjustment, the adjustment connector 140 may also support an angle adjustment function. This allows the suction piece to rotate or tilt according to the tilt angle or special shape of the product to ensure that the suction cup 150 can fit closely to the surface of the product for stable grasping. The adjustment connector 140 can also help optimize load distribution. By adjusting the relative position and angle between different suction pieces, it is possible to ensure that the load is evenly distributed, reducing the risk of equipment damage or product damage due to local overload.

[0039] By providing adjustable connector 140, the dual-station loading and unloading equipment can more flexibly adapt to the pick-and-place requirements of different products, improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability. Precise position and angle adjustment ensure that the suction element can accurately and stably grasp the product, reducing production line downtime caused by grasping failures. By optimizing load distribution and ensuring a close fit between the suction cup 150 and the product surface, damage to the product surface can be reduced and product quality can be improved. The provision of adjustable connector 140 also facilitates maintenance and servicing of the equipment. When the suction element needs to be replaced or adjusted, the operation can be easily completed by simply loosening the adjustable connector 140.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a positioning mechanism 50 adapted to the loading mechanism 10 is provided on the assembly line 40, and the positioning mechanism 50 includes a stopper 510. More specifically, the positioning mechanism 50 may also include a sensing element.

[0041] It can be understood that the stopper 510 is located on the assembly line 40 and is used to block and position the moving product at a predetermined position. When the product is stopped by the stopper 510, its position is fixed, providing an accurate reference for subsequent pick-up and placement operations. The stopper 510 can be a mechanical blocking plate, a cylinder-driven blocking rod, or other forms of retractable mechanisms, depending on the layout of the assembly line 40 and the characteristics of the product. The sensor is used to detect whether the product has reached the stopper 510 and is correctly positioned. Once the product is sensed, it will immediately send a signal to the main control mechanism 30 to trigger the subsequent pick-up and placement and detection process. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch, a pressure sensor, etc., and the appropriate type can be selected according to actual needs.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the assembly line 40 is also equipped with an inspection mechanism 60. This mechanism is located above the assembly line 40, with a space between the inspection mechanism 60 and the assembly line 40 allowing products to pass through. More specifically, the inspection mechanism 60 can be used for resistance testing or other types of testing. The inspection mechanism 60 is located above the assembly line 40, with sufficient space between the inspection mechanism 60 and the assembly line 40 for products to pass through. It is responsible for performing various types of inspections on products, such as resistance testing, dimensional testing, and appearance testing, to ensure that product quality meets standards. The specific type of inspection mechanism 60 (e.g., resistance tester, visual inspection system, etc.) depends on the production line's inspection requirements and product characteristics.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dual-station loading and unloading equipment provided by the present invention also includes a frame 70. The assembly line 40 is located above the frame 70. At least a portion of the frame 70's table 710 is located to the side of the assembly line 40. The main control mechanism 30 is located on the table 710. In this way, the frame 70 provides support and a stable foundation for the entire equipment. The assembly line 40 is located above the frame 70, while a portion of the frame 70's table 710 is located to the side of the assembly line 40, which further makes the overall structure of the equipment more compact.

[0044] It can be understood that: the product moves on the assembly line 40, and the sensing part detects that the product reaches the positioning mechanism 50 and is stopped by the stop member 510, and then feeds back to the main control mechanism 30, and then the main control mechanism 30 starts the driving mechanism 20, and the driving mechanism 20 drives the loading mechanism 10 to reach the positioning mechanism 50 to pick up the material. After the material is picked up, the loading mechanism 10 moves to the detection mechanism 60, and puts the product into the detection mechanism 60 for detection. After the detection is completed, the loading mechanism 10 takes away the finished product, and then puts in the product to be tested, and then the product that has completed the detection is put into the assembly line 40 and flows into the next process. It can be operated in a cycle according to this action.

[0045] Compared to the prior art, the present invention provides a dual-station loading and unloading device. By providing a dual-station loading mechanism, the device can simultaneously process products at two stations, achieving parallel operation. This reduces waiting time and improves the overall efficiency of the production line. Automated loading and unloading reduces reliance on manual labor and lowers labor costs. Furthermore, due to the increased production efficiency, more products can be produced per unit time, further diluting fixed costs such as equipment depreciation and site rental, thereby reducing overall production costs. The use of automated equipment such as robots or robotic arms for product placement avoids the safety risks associated with manual operation, such as hand injuries and dropped products. Furthermore, automated equipment generally offers higher precision and stability, reducing product damage or quality issues caused by human factors, thereby improving the reliability of the production process and product quality. The device features a compact structure, particularly by arranging the first and second station assemblies on either side of the baseplate. The space beneath the baseplate is cleverly utilized to accommodate the first and second suction members. This results in a small footprint and flexibility in adapting to confined workstation environments. It also facilitates integration with other production equipment, creating a more efficient production line layout.

For example, the appropriate pickup can be selected based on product characteristics such as size, shape, and weight; the equipment's position and angle can be adjusted to suit the production line layout and process flow; and the number of stations can be increased or decreased as production scale changes. This flexibility and scalability allows the equipment to adapt to diverse production scenarios and changing needs.

[0046] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
