[0048] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.

[0049] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0050] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0051] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0052] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a transport device, which includes a rotating mechanism 1 and a grabbing mechanism 2, wherein the grabbing mechanism 2 includes a grabbing connecting seat 21 and two grabbing components 22, and the two grabbing components 22 are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction (left and right directions in the figure), and each grabbing component 22 is slidably set on the grabbing connecting seat 21, and the grabbing connecting seat 21 is transmission-connected to the output end of the rotating mechanism 1. The rotating mechanism 1 is configured to drive the grabbing connecting seat 21 to rotate, and each grabbing component 22 can move back and forth relative to the grabbing connecting seat 21 along the first horizontal direction. When transporting a product, one of the grabbing assemblies 22 extends along the first horizontal direction to grab the product and then retracts, while the other grabbing assembly 22 is unloaded. Then, the rotating mechanism 1 drives the grabbing mechanism 2 to rotate. After the two grabbing assemblies 22 are rotated into place, the grabbing assembly 22 that grabs the product extends along the first horizontal direction, places the product on another workstation, and then retracts. At the same time, the unloaded grabbing assembly 2 extends along the first horizontal direction to grab the product and then retracts. This action is then repeated, so that the two grabbing assemblies 22 can alternately grab the product, greatly improving the working efficiency of the transport device. In addition, by arranging two grabbing assemblies 22 on the grabbing connecting seat 21, the two grabbing assemblies 22 can be synchronously driven to rotate synchronously by a rotating mechanism 1, making the structure of the entire transport device simple and taking up little space. Moreover, each grabbing assembly 22 can move back and forth relative to the grabbing connecting seat 21 along the first horizontal direction, ensuring the reliability of product transport. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 1 drives the grabbing mechanism 2 to rotate 180° each time, thereby realizing the switching of the positions of the two grabbing assemblies 22.

[0053] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, each gripping assembly 22 includes a connecting member 221 and a plurality of gripping members 222. The connecting member 221 is slidably mounted on the gripping connector 21, and the plurality of gripping members 222 are detachably secured to the connecting member 221. The plurality of gripping members 222 are adjustable in position on the connecting member 221, and the gripping members 222 are used to grip products. This arrangement allows the position of each gripping member 222 on the connecting member 221 to be adjusted according to the product specifications, thereby achieving a secure grip on the product with an optimal layout.

[0054] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting member 221 includes a main connecting member 2211, a secondary connecting member 2212 and a plurality of fasteners 2213. The main connecting member 2211 extends along a first horizontal direction, the main connecting member 2211 is slidably set on the grabbing connecting seat 21, and the secondary connecting member 2212 extends along a second horizontal direction (the front and back direction in the figure). The secondary connecting member 2212 is overlapped on the main connecting member 2211, and the secondary connecting member 2212 can move along the first horizontal direction on the main connecting member 2211. After adjusting the relative position of the secondary connecting member 2212 on the main connecting member 2211, the secondary connecting member 2212 and the main connecting member 2211 are fixedly connected by the fastener 2213. Multiple grabbing members 222 can move along the second horizontal direction on the secondary connecting member 2212. After adjusting the relative position of each grabbing member 222 on the secondary connecting member 2212, each grabbing member 222 is fixedly connected to the secondary connecting member 2212 by the fastener 2213. The structural design of the above-mentioned connecting member 221 enables the installation position of the grabbing member 222 on the connecting member 221 to be adjusted along the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction, thereby ensuring the position adjustment range of each grabbing member 222. It should be noted that the fastener 2213 is an existing structure. In this embodiment, any fastener 2213 in the prior art can be used to fix the main connecting member 2211 and the secondary connecting member 2212 using any connection method in the prior art. As long as the main connecting member 2211 and the secondary connecting member 2212 are fixedly connected and the grabbing member 222 and the secondary connecting member 2212 are fixedly connected, no further detailed description will be given. Optionally, in this embodiment, a scale line extending along the first horizontal direction is provided on the main connecting member 2211. The above-mentioned arrangement makes it easier for the secondary connecting member 2212 to move precisely along the first horizontal direction on the main connecting member 2211.

[0055] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the grabbing member 222 is a buffer suction cup. When the grabbing member 222 contacts the product, it will not cause damage to the surface of the object due to the instantaneous impact force. It can gently fit on the surface of the object through the buffering effect, effectively avoiding scratches and the like that may be caused by hard collisions. Optionally, in this embodiment, the grabbing member 222 is a rubber suction cup. Rubber has excellent flexibility, and the rubber material is relatively soft. In other embodiments, the grabbing member 222 can also be a silicone suction cup. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the transport device also includes a vacuum generator 5, which is used to provide vacuum pressure to the grabbing member 222. By drawing vacuum on each buffer suction cup through the vacuum generator 5, the product can be grasped; when the product needs to be placed, the vacuum generator 5 releases the vacuum on multiple buffer suction cups, so that the product can be separated from the buffer suction cup, thereby releasing the product. Optionally, in this embodiment, the handling device further includes a pressure gauge 6. The vacuum generator 5 and the gripping member 222 are connected via an air pipe. The pressure gauge 6 is connected to the air pipe and is used to adjust and monitor the air pressure in the air pipe in real time. Since the specific structure and operating principle of the pressure gauge 6 are related to the prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the grasping mechanism 2 also includes a drive assembly 23, which is fixedly connected to the grasping connector 21. The output end of the drive assembly 23 is in transmission connection with the grasping assembly 22. The drive assembly 23 is configured to drive the grasping assembly 22 to reciprocate along a first horizontal direction. Through this arrangement, the drive assembly 23 continuously provides power to the grasping assembly 22, causing the grasping assembly 22 to reciprocate along a predetermined first direction, thereby achieving the grasping-related actions of the grasping mechanism 2. Specifically, the output end of the drive assembly 23 is in transmission connection with the main connector 2211.

[0057] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the grabbing mechanism 2 includes two driving components 23, and the two driving components 23 correspond one-to-one to the two grabbing components 22. Each driving component 23 includes a driving member 231, a driving wheel 232, a driven wheel 233 and a transmission belt 234, wherein the driving member 231 is fixedly connected to the grabbing connecting seat 21, the driving wheel 232 is transmission-connected to the output end of the driving member 231, the driven wheel 233 is rotationally connected to the grabbing connecting seat 21, the driven wheel 233 and the driving wheel 232 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, the transmission belt 234 is sleeved on the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233, and the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 are both meshed and connected with the transmission belt 234, and the transmission belt 234 is fixedly connected to the corresponding grabbing component 22. When the grabbing assembly 22 grabs the product, the driving member 231 rotates and transmits power to the driving wheel 232, causing the driving wheel 232 to begin to rotate rapidly around its own axis, thereby driving the transmission belt 234 meshed with the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233 meshed with the transmission belt 234 to move. The transmission belt 234 then performs a reciprocating cyclic motion in the first horizontal direction between the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233. As the transmission belt 234 drives the grabbing assembly 22, it will move accordingly in the first horizontal direction according to the movement of the transmission belt 234, thereby completing the grabbing action of the target object in the first horizontal direction. By providing two driving assemblies 23, and the two driving assemblies 23 correspond one-to-one with the two grabbing assemblies 22, each grabbing assembly 22 is equipped with a power source, which enables the two grabbing assemblies 22 to move simultaneously or independently, thereby improving the operability and adaptability of the grabbing assembly 22. Specifically, the transmission belt 234 is fixedly connected to the corresponding main connecting member 2211. In other embodiments, a driving component 23 can also be provided, and one driving component 23 drives two grabbing components 22 at the same time to achieve synchronous movement of the two grabbing components 22.

[0058] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving member 231 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, etc. In this embodiment, a stepper motor is preferably used. The stepper motor can not only meet the requirements of the driving member 231 to drive the grasping assembly 22 to move back and forth, but also has a low cost. In other embodiments, the driving member 231 can be a servo motor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 23 also includes a tensioning assembly (not shown in the figure), which includes a fixed seat and a tensioning member, wherein the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the side of the grabbing connection seat 21 facing the rotating mechanism 1, and the tensioning member is threadedly connected to the fixed seat. The screwing depth of the tensioning member in the fixed seat is adjustable along the first horizontal direction, and the bottom of the tensioning member can abut against the grabbing connection seat 21. The above arrangement, by screwing the tensioning member, changes the screwing depth of the tensioning member in the fixed seat, thereby changing the distance between the fixed seat and the grabbing connection seat 21, so that the transmission belt 234 is tensioned or relaxed, ensuring that the entire drive assembly 23 can operate stably and efficiently. In other embodiments, the position of the tensioning assembly is not limited, and it is sufficient to be able to tighten or relax the transmission belt 234.

[0060] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the grasping mechanism 2 is further provided with a first detection component 26, and each grasping component 22 corresponds to a first detection component 26. Each first detection component 26 includes a first lever 262 and two first photoelectric switches 261. Along the first horizontal direction, the two first photoelectric switches 261 are respectively detachably installed at the extension limit position and the retraction limit position of the grasping connecting seat 21. The first lever 262 is fixedly installed on the main connecting member 2211, and the first lever 262 can trigger the two first photoelectric switches 261. When the main connecting member 2211 moves along the first horizontal direction to the extended limit position of the grabbing connecting seat 21, the first photoelectric switch 261 located at the extended limit position is triggered by the first lever 262, causing the main connecting member 2211 to stop moving. At this time, the main connecting member 2211 is extended into position. When the main connecting member 2211 moves along the first horizontal direction to the retracted limit position of the grabbing connecting seat 21, the first photoelectric switch 261 located at the retracted limit position is triggered by the first lever 262, causing the main connecting member 2211 to stop moving. At this time, the main connecting member 2211 is retracted into position. This prevents the grabbing assembly 22 from being positioned incorrectly when grabbing a product due to excessive movement, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the grabbing mechanism 2.

[0061] Alternatively, as Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the gripping mechanism 2 further includes a buffer 25, which is detachably mounted on the gripping connector 21. The buffer 25 can abut against the main connector 2211 to limit the maximum position of the main connector 2211 moving along the first horizontal direction. When the first photoelectric switch 261 fails, the main connector 2211 will continue to move along the first horizontal direction. When the main connector 2211 abuts against the buffer 25, the main connector 2211 stops moving, thereby preventing the main connector 2211 from excessively moving and colliding with the gripping connector 21, thereby causing damage to the gripping mechanism 2. In addition, the buffer 25 is detachable, making it easy to replace a damaged buffer 25. In other embodiments, the buffer 25 may or may not be provided, and this is not a limitation here.

[0062] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the gripping mechanism 2 also includes a gripping guide assembly 24, which includes a sliding block 241 and a guide rail 242 that are slidably connected. The guide rail 242 extends along a first horizontal direction. One of the guide rail 242 and the slider 241 is provided on the gripping assembly 22, and the other is provided on the gripping connection seat 21. The above arrangement enables the gripping assembly 22 and the gripping connection seat 21 to be slidably connected via the slider 241 on the guide rail 242, thereby enabling the gripping assembly 22 to be slidably guided between the gripping connection seat 21, thereby avoiding the occurrence of positional offset and other situations that may affect the gripping effect. Optionally, in this embodiment, the slider 241 is provided on the gripping assembly 22, and the guide rail 242 is provided on the gripping connection seat 21. In other embodiments, the slider 241 may also be provided on the gripping connection seat 21, and the guide rail 242 may be provided on the gripping assembly 22. It should be noted that the slider 241 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the main connecting member 2211.

[0063] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, four groups of grabbing guide assemblies 24 are provided. The four groups of grabbing guide assemblies 24 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the second horizontal direction. Each main connecting member 2211 is connected to two adjacent groups of grabbing guide assemblies 24. This arrangement can provide further guidance for the sliding of the main connecting members 2211 on the grabbing connecting seat 21, helping to improve the motion repeatability and motion accuracy of the grabbing assembly 22, and enhancing the reliability and stability of the grabbing mechanism 2.

[0064] Further, if Figure 4As shown, the rotating mechanism 1 includes a first connecting seat 11, a rotating drive member 12 and a hollow rotating platform 13, wherein the hollow rotating platform 13 is fixedly arranged on the first connecting seat 11, the grabbing connecting seat 21 is fixedly arranged on the hollow rotating platform 13, and the hollow rotating platform 13 is transmission-connected to the output end of the rotating drive member 12. The above-mentioned arrangement enables the rotating mechanism 1 to provide rotational power for the grabbing connecting seat 21, so that the grabbing assembly 22 connected to the grabbing connecting seat 21 can accurately reach the predetermined working position and complete corresponding grabbing, placement and other operations. Optionally, in this embodiment, the rotating drive member 12 is a servo motor, which has high precision and smooth movement, which is conducive to improving the rotation reliability of the rotating mechanism 1. In other embodiments, the rotating drive member 12 can also be a stepping motor, etc., which can meet the requirements of driving the hollow rotating platform 13 to rotate.

[0065] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 1 also includes a second detection component 14, which includes a second photoelectric switch 141 and a second lever 142. The second photoelectric switch 141 is arranged on the housing of the hollow rotating platform 13, and the second lever 142 is arranged on the rotating platform of the hollow rotating platform 13. When the rotating platform rotates, the second lever 142 can trigger the second photoelectric switch 141. The second photoelectric switch 141 and the second lever 142 can restore the hollow rotating platform 13 to its original position, that is, to the state in which the hollow rotating platform 13 is when the grabbing connecting seat 21 extends along the first horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the second photoelectric switch 141 can also be arranged on the rotating platform of the hollow rotating platform 13, and the second lever 142 can be arranged on the housing of the hollow rotating platform 13, which is not limited here. It should be noted that the structure of the hollow rotating platform 13 in this embodiment and how the hollow rotating platform 13 is restored to the original state through the cooperation of the second photoelectric switch 141 and the second lever 142 are prior arts and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Further, if Figure 5As shown, the conveying device also includes a translation mechanism 4 and a lifting mechanism 3, wherein the lifting mechanism 3 is arranged on the translation mechanism 4, the translation mechanism 4 is configured to drive the lifting mechanism 3 to translate along the first horizontal direction, the lifting mechanism 3 is transmission-connected to the rotating mechanism 1, and the lifting mechanism 3 is configured to drive the rotating mechanism 1 to lift and lower in the vertical direction. When the conveying device conveys the product, the translation mechanism 4 drives the lifting mechanism 3 to translate to the specified position along the first horizontal direction, and the lifting mechanism 3 drives the rotating mechanism 1 to lift and lower along the third horizontal position (the upper and lower positions in the figure), so that the rotating mechanism 1 accurately rises or falls to a suitable height position. Through the mutual cooperation of the lifting and lowering action and the translation action of the lifting mechanism 3 and the translation mechanism 4, the conveying device can realize the efficient and accurate conveying process of the product. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 is transmission-connected to the first connecting seat 11.

[0067] Alternatively, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 4 includes a translation driver 41. The output end of the translation driver 41 is provided with the lifting mechanism 3. The translation driver 41 is configured to drive the lifting mechanism 3 to translate along a first horizontal direction. Specifically, the translation driver 41 is in the form of a servo motor and a ball screw slide. In other embodiments, the translation driver 41 may also be in the form of a stepping motor and a rack and pinion structure, etc., without limitation herein.

[0068] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 4 further includes an auxiliary guide assembly 42, which is used to guide the lifting mechanism 3 to translate along the first horizontal direction. Specifically, the auxiliary guide assembly 42 is in the form of a guide rail slider. In other embodiments, the auxiliary guide assembly 42 may not be provided. Since the guide rail slider is a conventional technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0069] Alternatively, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 4 further includes a position detection component (not shown in the figure), which is capable of detecting the left and right limit positions of the lifting mechanism 3 on the translation mechanism 4. It should be noted that the position detection component in this embodiment is in the form of a slot-type photoelectric switch and a baffle. Since the working principle of the slot-type photoelectric switch is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Further, if Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a second connecting seat 31, a lifting drive member 32 and a lifting guide assembly 33, wherein the second connecting seat 31 is arranged on the translation drive member 41, the lifting drive member 32 is arranged on the second connecting seat 31, the output end of the lifting drive member 32 is transmission-connected to the rotating mechanism 1, and the lifting drive member 32 is configured to drive the rotating mechanism 1 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The lifting guide assembly 33 includes a slidingly connected guide rod 331 and a linear bearing 332, the guide rod 331 extends in the vertical direction, one of the guide rod 331 and the linear bearing 332 is arranged on the rotating mechanism 1, and the other is arranged on the second connecting seat 31. The above arrangement enables the guide rod 331 to slide smoothly within the linear bearing 332 when the lifting drive member 32 drives the rotating mechanism 1 to move up and down, thereby ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting process of the rotating mechanism 1. It avoids unstable conditions such as shaking and offset that may occur during the lifting process, ensuring the working accuracy and reliability of the entire mechanism. Optionally, in this embodiment, the guide rod 331 is provided on the rotating mechanism 1, and the linear bearing 332 is provided on the second connecting seat 31. In other embodiments, the guide rod 331 may also be provided on the second connecting seat 31, and the linear bearing 332 may be provided on the rotating mechanism 1. It should be noted that the guide rod 331 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 11.

[0071] Alternatively, as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting drive component 32 is in the form of a servo motor and a ball screw electric cylinder. In other embodiments, the lifting drive component 32 can also be in the form of a stepper motor and a ball screw slide, etc., which is not limited here.

[0072] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the handling device also includes a limiter assembly 7, which is mounted on the rotating mechanism 1 and abuts against the gripping mechanism 2 to limit the rotation angle of the gripping mechanism 2. This arrangement limits the angular range of the gripping mechanism 2 during rotation, preventing excessive rotation of the gripping mechanism 2 from causing entanglement of the wiring and consequently damaging the handling device, thereby ensuring a stable and orderly handling process. Specifically, the limiter assembly 7 is mounted on the first connecting seat 11.

[0073] Alternatively, as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting assembly 7 includes a first limiting member 71 and a second limiting member 72. The first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 are fixed to the first connecting seat 11 at intervals. When the rotating mechanism 1 drives the grabbing mechanism 2 to rotate, the first limiting member 71 and the second limiting member 72 can abut against the grabbing connecting seat 21. When the rotating mechanism 1 drives the grabbing mechanism 2 to rotate, when the first limiting member 71 abuts against the grabbing connecting seat 21, the first limiting member 71 limits the maximum counterclockwise rotation angle of the grabbing connecting seat 21; when the second limiting member 72 abuts against the grabbing connecting seat 21, the second limiting member 72 limits the maximum clockwise rotation angle of the grabbing connecting seat 21. This ensures that the rotation angle of the grabbing connecting seat 21 does not exceed a set range, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire grabbing mechanism 2 during rotational motion, and also helps to improve the service life and working efficiency of the handling device. In other embodiments, there can also be a single limiting assembly 7 to limit the range of clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the grabbing mechanism 2.

[0074] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first and second stoppers 71 and 72 limit the rotation range of the gripping mechanism 2 to 180°-270°. This allows for alternate gripping of parallel, spaced products while preventing damage to the wiring caused by excessive rotation of the gripping mechanism 2. In other embodiments, the rotation range of the gripping mechanism 2 limited by the first and second stoppers 71 and 72 is not limited.
