[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model provides an IPM module multi-station synchronous transport mechanism, including a four-station transport clamp 1, a transport track 2 and a support frame 3. The four-station transport clamp 1 includes a single-station clamp 11, a double-station clamp 12 and a horizontal sliding device 13. The bottom of the transport track 2 is installed on the support frame 3, the horizontal sliding device 13 is installed on the back of the double-station clamp 12 and the single-station clamp 11, the transport track 2 includes a horizontal moving track 21 and a transport motor 22, the transport motor 22 is installed on the top of the double-station clamp 12 and the single-station clamp 11, and the double-station clamp 12 and the single-station clamp 11 are both installed on the horizontal moving track 21.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the four-station handling clamp 1 enables four IPM modules to be processed simultaneously in one handling, which significantly improves the handling efficiency. Through the cooperation of the horizontal sliding device 13 and the handling motor 22, the clamp can move quickly and accurately along the horizontal moving track 21 to achieve rapid handling.
[0033] The double-station clamp 12 includes a first double-material clamp 121 and a third double-material clamp 122 . The backs of the first double-material clamp 121 and the third double-material clamp 122 are connected to the horizontal moving track 21 via a horizontal sliding device 13 .
[0034] The single-station clamping jaw 11 includes a second single-material clamping jaw 111 and a fourth single-material clamping jaw 112 . The backs of the second single-material clamping jaw 111 and the fourth single-material clamping jaw 112 are connected to the horizontal moving track 21 through a horizontal sliding device 13 .
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution and combining the double-station clamp 12 and the single-station clamp 11, it is possible to flexibly adjust according to the specific needs of the production line. When a large number of IPM modules need to be transported quickly, the advantages of the double-station clamp 12 can be fully utilized; and in situations where precise positioning or special processing is required, the single-station clamp 11 can be used to transport a single module. Each clamp is equipped with an independent control mechanism and positioning system, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the IPM module during the transportation process, avoid transportation errors caused by mutual interference or error accumulation between the clamps, and thus improve product quality and production line reliability.
[0036] The first double-material clamp 121 includes a clamp mounting plate 4, a first rotating clamp 1211 and a first reserved clamp 1212. The first rotating clamp 1211 and the first reserved clamp 1212 are both mounted on the clamp mounting plate 4. The back of the clamp mounting plate 4 is connected to the horizontal moving track 21 through a horizontal sliding device 13.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the first rotating clamp 1211 in the first double-material clamp 121 allows the clamp to rotate when grasping and placing the IPM module, thereby adapting to the handling requirements of different angles and directions. The rotation function increases the flexibility and adaptability of handling, enabling it to handle more complex handling tasks.

The third heat-insulating clamp 1221 and the third reserved clamp 1222 are both installed on the clamp mounting plate 4. The back of the clamp mounting plate 4 is connected to the horizontal moving track 21 through a horizontal sliding device 13.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the third thermal insulation clamp 1221 enables the handling mechanism to handle temperature-sensitive IPM modules. The thermal insulation clamp is equipped with a heating or heat preservation device to ensure that the IPM module maintains a constant temperature during handling, preventing temperature fluctuations from affecting product quality.

The fourth material grabbing clamp 1121 is mounted on the clamp mounting plate 4 . The back of the clamp mounting plate 4 is connected to the horizontal moving track 21 via a horizontal sliding device 13 .
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the second single-material clamp 111 and the fourth single-material clamp 112 enables the handling mechanism to handle two separate IPM modules at the same time. The one-to-one clamp configuration ensures that each module can receive dedicated handling, thereby improving the overall handling efficiency.
[0043] The first rotating jaw 1211, the first reserved jaw 1212, the second material grabbing jaw 1111, the third heat preservation jaw 1221, the third reserved jaw 1222 and the fourth material grabbing jaw 1121 all include a jaw rail 5 and a jaw motor 6, the jaw motor 6 is installed at the tail end of the jaw rail 5, and the jaw motor 6 and the jaw rail 5 are both installed on the jaw mounting plate 4.
[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the modular design of the gripper motor 6 and the gripper track 5 makes the gripper system more reliable. The gripper motor 6 provides stable power output, while the gripper track 5 provides a precise motion path.
[0045] The first rotating jaw 1211 includes a rotating motor 12111 , a rotating shaft 12112 and a rotating jaw 12113 . The rotating jaw 12113 is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft 12112 . The rotating motor 12111 is connected to the rotating shaft 12112 . The rotating shaft 12112 is mounted on the jaw track 5 of the first rotating jaw 1211 .
[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor 12111 drives the rotating shaft 12112 and the rotating clamp 12113 to rotate, which enables the clamp to adjust the angle and direction as needed. This flexibility is crucial for handling IPM modules in different positions, angles and directions, and can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of transportation.
[0047] The third insulation clamping jaw 1221 includes an insulation mounting plate 12211, an insulation heating cover 12212 and an insulation clamping jaw 12213. The insulation clamping jaw 12213 is installed at the bottom of the insulation heating cover 12212. The insulation heating cover 12212 is connected to the clamping jaw track 5 of the third insulation clamping jaw 1221 through the insulation mounting plate 12211.
[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat-insulating heating cover 12212 can effectively maintain the temperature around the clamping jaws, ensuring that the temperature-sensitive IPM modules are kept within a constant temperature range during handling. This is crucial for preventing product performance degradation or damage caused by temperature fluctuations. Because the heat-insulating clamping jaws 12213 can maintain temperature while performing handling operations, it can reduce the time wasted waiting for the temperature to stabilize. This helps improve handling efficiency and reduce production line downtime.
[0049] The first reserved jaw 1212 , the third reserved jaw 1222 , the second material grabbing jaw 1111 and the fourth material grabbing jaw 1121 all include a jaw mounting position 7 , and positioning devices 8 are installed on the sides of the second material grabbing jaw 1111 and the fourth material grabbing jaw 1121 .
[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the clamp mounting position 7 allows for the replacement or addition of clamps as needed in the future, providing the transport mechanism with a high degree of flexibility and scalability, enabling it to adapt to different transport needs. Whether it is necessary to replace the clamp with a specific function or add additional clamps to improve the transport efficiency, it can be achieved through simple installation and adjustment. The use of the positioning device 8 enables the clamp to be quickly and accurately positioned on the IPM module, simplifying the operation and adjustment process. The operator does not need to perform tedious manual adjustments, but only needs to control the positioning device through the control system to achieve precise transport operations. The first reserved clamp 1212 and the third reserved clamp 1222 can be installed with clamps with more functions as needed to adapt to different types of IPM modules or transport needs.
[0051] During the specific implementation of the present invention, the first rotating jaw 1211 and the first reserved jaw 1212 of the first double-material jaw 121 are located at the starting position, ready to grab the IPM module, the third insulation jaw 1221 and the third reserved jaw 1222 of the third double-material jaw 122 are also located at the starting position, ready for transportation, and the second grabbing jaw 1111 of the second single-material jaw 111 and the fourth grabbing jaw 1121 of the fourth single-material jaw 112 are also ready for grabbing.
[0052] The first rotating clamp 1211 is driven by the clamp motor 6 and moves along the clamp track 5. The rotating clamp 12113 is rotated by the rotating motor 12111 and the rotating shaft 12112 to accurately clamp the first IPM module. The second grabbing clamp 1111 and the fourth grabbing clamp 1121 clamp the second and fourth IPM modules respectively. At the same time, the third insulation clamp 1221 clamps the third IPM module.
[0053] The transport motor 22 is started, and the four-station transport clamp 1 is driven to move along the horizontal moving track 21 through the horizontal sliding device 13 to transport the clamped IPM module to the target position. During the transport process, the thermal insulation heating cover 12212 of the third thermal insulation clamp 1221 can keep the temperature of the clamped IPM module stable to meet specific requirements.
[0054] When the transporting clamp reaches the target position, the clamp motor 6 drives the clamp to move along the clamp track 5 again to release the IPM module. The positioning device 8 works on the second material grabbing clamp 1111 and the fourth material grabbing clamp 1121 to ensure that the IPM module is accurately placed.
[0055] After completing one transport, the four-station transport clamp 1 returns to the starting position through the horizontal sliding device 13 to prepare for the next transport.
