[0058] During the existing motherboard production process, the carriers used to hold the motherboards require frequent turnover. This process requires frequent manual handling and loading and unloading, resulting in a low level of automation and relatively low work efficiency. Furthermore, in the confined production space, manual handling and loading and unloading are inconvenient, making efficient carrier turnover difficult.

[0059] In view of the above, the present application provides an automatic turnover device to solve the above problems.

[0060] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a module of an automatic turnover device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the automatic turnover device 100 includes a material taking device 10, a material placing device 20, an automatic guided vehicle body 30, and a vehicle frame 40.

[0061] Combine Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 40 includes a housing 41 and a conveying mechanism 42. The housing 41 has an opening 411 at both the front and rear ends. The conveying mechanism 42 is disposed within the housing 41. The conveying mechanism 42 includes a bracket 421 and a conveyor belt assembly 422. The bracket 421 is fixed within the housing 41, and the conveyor belt assembly 422 is mounted on the bracket 421. The frame 40 is mounted on the AGV body 30. The AGV body 30 is used to drive the frame 40 to move to the retrieving device 10 so that the opening 411 corresponds to the retrieving device 10. The conveyor belt assembly 422 is used to transfer the carrier 21 in the retrieving device 10 into the housing 41. The AGV body 30 is also used to drive the frame 40 to move to the discharge device 20 so that the opening 411 is aligned with the discharge device 20. The conveyor belt assembly 422 is used to transfer the carrier 21 in the housing 41 to the discharge device 20, thereby achieving the turnover of the carrier 21 from the retrieving device 10 to the discharge device 20.

[0062] The working principle of the automatic turnover equipment 100 of this embodiment is as follows: the material picking device 10 automatically takes the material from the workbench and loads it into the carrier 21; after the material picking device 10 fills the carrier 21 with materials, the automatic guided vehicle body 30 drives the frame 40 to move to the material picking device 10, the frame 40 docks with the material picking device 10, and the conveyor belt assembly 422 transports the carrier 21 into the frame 40; the automatic guided vehicle body 30 drives the frame 40 to move to the material discharging device 20, the frame 40 docks with the material discharging device 20, and the conveyor belt assembly 422 transports the carrier 21 to the material discharging device 20, thereby realizing the turnover of the carrier 21.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the frame 40 is driven to move by the automatic guided vehicle body 30, so that the opening 411 of the shell 41 corresponds to the material picking device 10 and the material discharging device 20, thereby achieving the docking of the frame 40 with the material picking device 10 and the material discharging device 20. Then, the carrier 21 in the material picking device 10 is transferred to the shell 41 by the conveyor belt assembly 422, and finally, the carrier 21 in the shell 41 is transferred to the material discharging device 20, thereby achieving the turnover of the carrier 21 from the material picking device 10 to the material discharging device 20, thereby enhancing the degree of automation, improving turnover efficiency, and reducing labor costs. In addition, the front and rear ends of the shell 41 both have openings 411, which enable the front and rear ends of the frame 40 to dock with the material picking device 10 and the material discharging device 20, facilitating automatic material picking and discharging, and achieving the turnover process of the carrier 21 even in a narrow space, with strong environmental adaptability.

[0064] In some embodiments, the material may be a steel sheet, and the material taking device 10 may be a steel sheet taking machine, the material discharging device 20 may be a steel sheet placing machine, and the carrier 21 is used to carry the steel sheet.

The supporting block 4213 is located between the driving wheel 4222 and the driven wheel 4223 and is arranged at intervals. The driving member 4225 is installed on the bracket 421 and connected to the driving shaft 4221. The driving member 4225 is used to drive the driving shaft 4221 to rotate.

[0079] In some embodiments, the driving member 4225 may be a DC motor, which is not limited in this application.

[0080] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to take or place the carrier 21, the driving member 4225 drives the driving shaft 4221 to rotate, and the driving shaft 4221 drives the rotation of the driving wheel 4222, and the driving wheel 4222 drives the rotation of the driven wheel 4223 through the conveyor belt 4224, thereby driving the movement of the conveyor belt 4224 to achieve the purpose of taking or placing the carrier 21.
