[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described. The transport device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a base frame 20 and a transport mechanism 30. The transport mechanism 30 includes a carrier 31 that is movably and rotatably disposed on the base frame 20 and can be used to support a workpiece. The transport mechanism 30 also includes a first drive assembly 32 that is detachably connected to the workpiece and can drive the workpiece to move onto the carrier 31 along a first direction, where the first direction is denoted as X.

[0028] In the handling device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the base frame 20 serves as the bearing structure of the handling mechanism 30, plays an auxiliary role in the setting and operation of the handling mechanism 30, and provides structural stability for the handling mechanism 30; the first drive component 32 of the handling mechanism 30 can be detachably connected to the workpiece, and the detachable connection method is not limited. For example, it can be connected with an intermediate part such as a snap connection, a hook connection, a magnetic attraction, or a screw. The first drive component 32 can be a cylinder or a motor, etc., which can meet the driving requirements. After the workpiece is connected to the first drive component 32, the first drive component 32 is controlled to drive the workpiece in a first direction to move the workpiece to the carrier 31, or to remove the workpiece from the carrier 31, so as to realize loading and unloading of the workpiece relative to the carrier 31.

[0029] Furthermore, when the carrier 31 carries a workpiece, the carrier 31 is controlled to move so as to transport the workpiece. The movement direction of the carrier 31 can be in one direction or in multiple directions, depending on the specific needs. The movement method is not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, a translation method that maintains the current state is used as an example, such as translation in the horizontal direction and translation in the vertical direction. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the carrier 31 is set horizontally as an example, and when the workpiece is carried in the vertical direction, the carrier 31 is translated in the state of carrying the workpiece in the vertical direction. Controlling the rotation of the carrier 31 is used as an example to rotate the workpiece while maintaining the vertical direction, that is, the rotation center axis of the carrier 31 is parallel to the vertical direction. In this way, the placement angle of the workpiece can be adjusted to achieve precise blanking.

[0030] In summary, the carrier 31 can automatically adjust the position and angle of the workpiece, helping to improve the accuracy of workpiece placement and, in turn, the accuracy of material handling. At the same time, the first drive assembly 32 can automatically load and unload the workpiece, helping to increase the speed of workpiece loading and unloading. Therefore, compared to a handling device 10 that uses a manipulator or is only mobile, the handling device 10 of the present application can handle workpieces more quickly and accurately, achieving higher handling efficiency.

[0031] It should be noted that the first drive assembly 32 can be disposed on the carrier 31, on the base 20, or at other locations on the transport device 10, as long as it can drive the workpiece onto the carrier 31 and remove the workpiece from the carrier 31. Specifically, the embodiment of the present application takes the first drive assembly 32 as an example of being disposed on the carrier 31 to drive the workpiece to be loaded and unloaded on the carrier 31. The first direction in the embodiment of the present application is the direction in which the workpiece is moved by the first drive assembly 32. Therefore, if the carrier 31 is rotated and adjusted to change the angle of the workpiece, the first direction will also change synchronously.

[0032] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, two support members 311 arranged in parallel along the first direction may be provided on the carrier 31, and a rotatable rolling portion 3111 is provided on the two support members 311, and the first driving component 32 is arranged between the two support members 311; the workpiece is placed on the rolling portion 3111, and the first driving component 32 can drive the workpiece to move on the rolling portion 3111 along the first direction.

[0033] The number of support members 311 is determined according to needs, and can be one or more, as needed to support the workpiece. In the embodiment of the present application, two support members 311 are used in parallel to support the workpiece as an example. The rolling portion 3111 provided on the support member 311 can be a ball or a roller, which contacts the workpiece to play a transmission and guiding role for the workpiece, so as to facilitate the movement of the workpiece on the support member 311 and avoid damage from mutual sliding friction. In the embodiment of the present application, the first drive component 32 is provided between the two support members 311, which can help optimize the structural space. Of course, the first drive component 32 can also be provided in other directions relative to the support member 311 to meet the needs of driving the workpiece to move along the first direction on the rolling portion 3111.

[0034] See also Figure 2 Further, the first driving assembly 32 in the above embodiment may include a first driving member 321, which is arranged on the carrier 31; the first driving assembly 32 may also include a first connecting member 322, the first connecting member 322 includes a first connecting seat 3221, the first driving member 321 drives the first connecting seat 3221, the first connecting seat 3221 is movably arranged on the carrier 31 along the first direction, and the first driving member 321 can drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction; the first connecting member 322 may also include a first driving part 3222 and a first connecting part 3223, the first driving part 3222 is arranged on the first connecting seat 3221, the first driving part 3222 drives the first connecting part 3223, and the first driving part 3222 can drive the first connecting part 3223 to move, so that the first connecting part 3223 can be detachably connected to the workpiece.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the first driving portion 3222 is used to drive the first connecting portion 3223 to control the movement of the first connecting portion 3223, so as to be used for assembly and disassembly of the connection with the workpiece, that is, the first driving portion 3222 is controlled to drive the first connecting portion 3223 to move to connect or disconnect with the workpiece. After the first connecting portion 3223 is connected to the workpiece, the first driving member 321 is controlled to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction. The first connecting seat 3221 serves as a supporting structure for the first driving portion 3222 and the first connecting portion 3223. Then, the first driving portion 3222 and the first connecting portion 3223 provided on the first connecting seat 3221 move synchronously, thereby driving the workpiece connected to the first connecting portion 3223 to move synchronously. It can be understood that after the first connecting portion 3223 is connected to the workpiece, the first driving member 321 drives the first connecting member 322 to move along the first direction to synchronously drive the workpiece to move, so as to be used for loading, unloading, or adjusting the position of the workpiece.

[0036] It should be noted that the first driving member 321 and the first driving portion 3222 are not limited to driving motors or cylinders, but can also be other driving devices that meet the driving requirements of the embodiment of the present application.

[0037] The first driving portion 3222 can specifically drive the first connecting portion 3223 to slide or rotate, etc., as long as the first connecting portion 3223 can be detachably connected to the workpiece.

[0038] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the first driving part 3222 is used to drive the first connecting part 3223 to rotate as an example. The first connecting part 3223 is rotatably arranged on the first connecting seat 3221, and the rotation center axis of the first connecting part 3223 is parallel to the first direction; and the first connecting part 3223 is provided with a first clamping block 3223a at one end along the first direction, and the first clamping block 3223a is provided with a first clamping groove 3223aa; the workpiece is provided with a convex ridge (not shown in the figure), and the first driving part 3222 can drive the first connecting part 3223 to rotate, so that the first clamping block 3223a rotates synchronously until the first clamping groove 3223aa and the convex ridge (not shown in the figure) are limitedly matched along the first direction.

[0039] The first engaging groove 3223aa is provided with the first engaging groove 3223aa, and the first engaging groove 3223aa is provided with the first engaging groove 3223aa.

[0040] It should be noted that the first clamping block 3223a and the first connecting portion 3223 can be an integral structure or a detachable connection; and the first connecting portion 3223 can be provided with one or more first clamping grooves 3223aa, and correspondingly, one or more ridges (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the workpiece. Of course, the ridges (not shown in the figure) can also be bumps. Multiple first clamping grooves 3223aa and multiple ridges (not shown in the figure) are simultaneously limited in the first direction, which can help to enhance the matching stability.

[0041] Of course, the embodiment of the present application may also adopt other connection methods that can achieve detachable and limited cooperation between the first connection part 3223 and the workpiece along the first direction, so as to meet the adjustment requirements.

[0042] See also Figure 2 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the other end of the first connecting portion 3223 along the first direction is provided with a second clamping block 3223b, and the second clamping block 3223b is provided with a second clamping groove 3223ba, that is, the first clamping groove 3223aa and the second clamping groove 3223ba are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the first driving portion 3222 can drive the first connecting portion 3223 to rotate, so that the second clamping block 3223b rotates synchronously until the second clamping groove 3223ba is limitedly engaged with the ridge (not shown in the figure) along the first direction; the first clamping groove 3223aa and the second clamping groove 3223ba have an angle relative to the rotation direction of the first connecting portion 3223, so that when either one of the first clamping groove 3223aa and the second clamping groove 3223ba is limitedly engaged with the ridge (not shown in the figure), the other avoids the workpiece.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the arrangement of the first slot 3223aa and the second slot 3223ba on the first connecting portion 3223 can be used to cooperate in increasing the distance of moving the workpiece along the first direction. For example, when the first slot 3223aa is limitedly engaged with the ridge of the workpiece (not shown in the figure) along the first direction, and the portion of the first connecting portion 3223 close to the second slot 3223ba overlaps with the workpiece structure along the first direction, the first driving member 321 is controlled to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction close to the second slot 3223ba. When it moves to the limited position of the first connecting portion 3223, the first slot 3223aa is engaged. a is disconnected from the ridge of the workpiece (not shown in the figure), so that the workpiece is in the current position, and then the first driving member 321 is controlled to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move back along the first direction to the connectable position corresponding to the second slot 3223ba and the ridge of the workpiece (not shown in the figure), and then the first driving part 3222 is controlled to drive the first connecting part 3223 to rotate, so that the second slot 3223ba cooperates with the ridge (not shown in the figure), and then the first driving member 321 is controlled again to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction toward the side close to the second slot 3223ba, which can continue to move the workpiece following the above-mentioned workpiece position, so that the moving range of the workpiece is longer.

[0044] It should be noted that the first and second slots 3223aa and 3223ba in the above-described embodiment are used as an example to mate with the same ridge (not shown) on a workpiece. Of course, if multiple ridges (not shown) are provided on the workpiece, this principle can be used to achieve various driving distances, which will not be described in detail here. When the first slot 3223aa mates with the ridge (not shown), the second slot 3223ba is in a retractable position relative to the workpiece. This is achieved by setting a certain angle between the first and second slots 3223aa and 3223ba relative to the rotational direction of the first connecting portion 3223. Similarly, when the second slot 3223ba mates with the ridge (not shown), the first slot 3223aa also retracts relative to the workpiece using this fixture. Of course, if the workpiece is provided with a plurality of ridges (not shown in the figure) along the first direction, and the spacing between the ridges (not shown in the figure) is equal to the spacing between the first slot 3223aa and the second slot 3223ba, then the first slot 3223aa and the second slot 3223ba can be arranged in parallel, that is, the angle between them is zero, so that the first slot 3223aa and the second slot 3223ba can be used at the same time to limit and cooperate with different ridges (not shown in the figure), thereby improving the connection stability of the workpiece, and can also be used to implement the above-mentioned scheme of increasing the workpiece movement stroke.

[0045] Of course, the first clamping block 3223a and the second clamping block 3223b can also be set at other positions of the first connecting part 3223, and do not have to be set at the end of the first connecting part 3223. The embodiment of the present application takes the first direction end of the first connecting part 3223 as an example, so as to make full use of the structural length of the first connecting part 3223 along the first direction to increase the travel range of the workpiece.

[0046] See also Figure 2Specifically, the first driving component 32 of the above embodiment may further include a second driving member 323, and the second driving member 323 is arranged on the carrier 31; the first driving component 32 may further include a second connecting member 324, the second connecting member 324 includes a second connecting seat 3241, the second driving member 323 is driven and connected to the second connecting seat 3241, the second connecting seat 3241 is movably arranged on the carrier 31 along the first direction, and the second driving member 323 can drive the second connecting seat 3241 to move along the first direction; the second connecting member 324 may further include a second driving portion 3242 and a second connecting portion 3243, the second driving portion 3242 is arranged on the second connecting seat 3241, the second driving portion 3242 is driven and connected to the second connecting portion 3243, the second driving portion 3242 can drive the second connecting portion 3243 to rotate, the second connecting portion 3243 is rotatably arranged on the second connecting seat 3241, and the second connecting portion 3243 The rotation center axis is parallel to the first direction; the second connecting portion 3243 is provided with a third clamping block 3243a at one end along the first direction, the third clamping block 3243a is provided with a third clamping groove 3243aa, and the second connecting portion 3243 is provided with a fourth clamping block 3243b at the other end along the first direction, the fourth clamping block 3243b is provided with a fourth clamping groove 3243ba, and the third clamping groove 3243aa and the fourth clamping groove 3243ba form an angle relative to the rotation direction of the second connecting portion 3243; the second driving portion 3242 can drive the second connecting portion 3243 to rotate, so as to drive the third clamping groove 3243aa and the fourth clamping groove 3243ba to rotate synchronously, so that the third clamping groove 3243aa or the fourth clamping groove 3243ba is limitedly engaged with the ridge (not shown in the figure) along the first direction; when either the third clamping groove 3243aa or the fourth clamping groove 3243ba is engaged with the ridge (not shown in the figure), the other avoids the workpiece.

[0047] The arrangement of the second driving member 323 and the second connecting member 324 in the embodiment of the present application is equivalent to the arrangement of the first driving member 321 and the first connecting member 322. Therefore, the specific working principle of the arrangement of the second driving member 323 and the second connecting member 324 in the embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail here, and reference can be made to the working principle of the arrangement of the first driving member 321 and the first connecting member 322. It can be understood that the arrangement of the first driving member 321 and the first connecting member 322 in the embodiment of the present application can be regarded as one set of driving arrangements, while the arrangement of the second driving member 323 and the second connecting member 324 can be regarded as another set of driving arrangements. Of course, more sets can be provided, depending on specific needs. The two sets of driving arrangements can act on the workpiece in the same manner, or can act on the workpiece in a taking-over manner. There is no limitation on the specific combination of use.

[0048] Of course, the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 are arranged to avoid each other along the first direction. The embodiment of the present application takes the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 having equal strokes and parallel stroke trajectories along the first direction as an example, that is, during the movement of the first connecting seat 3221 relative to the second connecting seat 3241 along the first direction, the first connecting seat 3221, the first driving part 3222 and the first connecting part 3223 of the first connecting member 322 are all arranged to avoid the second connecting seat 3241, the second driving part 3242, and the second connecting part 3243 of the second connecting member 324, so that the movements of the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 do not interfere with each other. This can help the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 to cooperate and move the workpiece synchronously at the same time, and can also make the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 take turns to cooperate in moving the workpiece, so as to fully utilize the coordinated operation of the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324.

[0049] The specific embodiment of the present application takes the carrier 31 as a rectangular plate structure as an example, the length direction of the carrier 31 is arranged along the first direction, the first driving member 321 and the first connecting member 322 are arranged close to one side of the width direction of the carrier 31, and the second driving member 323 and the second connecting member 324 are arranged close to the other side of the width direction of the carrier 31, and the stroke of the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 are both equal to the length of the carrier 31 along the first direction as an example, so that the first connecting member 322 and the second connecting member 324 can act on the workpiece equally, and the first driving member 321 and the second driving member 323 are respectively arranged at the diagonal positions of the carrier 31 as an example, that is, the first driving member 321 is arranged near one corner, and the second driving member 323 is arranged near the other corner, so that the structures of the first driving member 321 and the second driving member 323 are staggered along the first direction, which is conducive to optimizing the structural width of the carrier 31.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the transport device 10 of the above embodiment may also include a driving mechanism 40, which is movably arranged on the base frame 20 along a straight line direction, and the straight line direction is defined as the second direction, which is recorded as Y; the driving mechanism 40 drives the connected carrier 31, and the driving mechanism 40 can drive the carrier 31 to move along a third direction, and the third direction has an angle with the first direction and the second direction respectively, which is recorded as Z.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the first and second directions are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the third direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. As the carrier 31 rotates, the angle between the first and second directions gradually changes, so the first and second directions can also be parallel. In this way, the transport device 10 can transport workpieces in three dimensions, thus meeting various transport requirements.

[0052] Among them, the driving mechanism 40 may include a carrier 41, a second driving component 42 and a driving seat 43. The carrier 41 can be movably arranged on the base 20 along the second direction, the second driving component 42 is arranged on the carrier 41, and the driving seat 43 is arranged on the second driving component 42 and is driven and connected to the second driving component 42. The second driving component 42 can drive the driving seat 43 to move along the third direction; the carrier 31 can be rotatably arranged on the driving seat 43, and the rotation center axis of the carrier 31 is parallel to the third direction.

[0053] It can be understood that the carrier 41 serves as a connecting component between the drive mechanism 40 and the base 20. When the carrier 41 moves in the second direction, the second drive assembly 42, the drive seat 43, and the transport mechanism 30 disposed on the drive seat 43 move synchronously in the second direction. Of course, the movement of the carrier 41 is controlled by the drive member for automatic operation. The specific drive method is not limited. For example, it can be driven by a drive motor in conjunction with gears, or by a drive motor in conjunction with a belt or a screw, or by a cylinder. The drive seat 43 can be understood as the supporting structure of the transport mechanism 30, so that the second drive assembly 42 drives the drive seat 43 to rise and fall in the third direction, thereby synchronously driving the transport mechanism 30 to rise and fall. Of course, the second drive assembly 42 can also be directly connected to the carrier 31 of the transport mechanism 30. The embodiment of the present application facilitates the drive connection between the second drive assembly 42 and the transport mechanism 30 by providing the drive seat 43, while also facilitating the rotatable arrangement of the carrier 31 and providing the required space for the rotation of the carrier 31.

[0054] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the second drive component 42 can be any drive component that meets the driving conditions. In the embodiment of the present application, the second drive component 42 includes a third drive member 421 and a fourth drive member 422 as an example, and the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422 are arranged to be driven in parallel along the third direction. The drive seat 43 is driven and connected to the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422, and is arranged between the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422. The third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422 can synchronously drive the drive seat 43 to move along the third direction.

[0055] It can be understood that after the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422 are driven and connected to the drive base 43, the horizontal state of the drive base 43 is fixed, that is, with the synchronous driving action of the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422, the drive base 43 only changes in the vertical lifting state. The specific driving method is not limited. For example, it can be driven by a drive motor in combination with gears, or it can be driven by a drive motor in combination with a belt or a screw, or it can be driven by a cylinder, etc. The embodiment of the present application takes the drive base 43 as a horizontal plate structure as an example, that is, the drive base 43 always maintains a horizontal state. The drive base 43 is arranged between the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422, which can help the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422 to synchronously share the load, and help provide sufficient driving force and structural stability for the drive base 43.

[0056] Among them, the rotatable setting of the carrier 31 can be any controllable rotation setting method. The embodiment of the present application adopts a driving motor and gears to drive the rotation setting of the carrier 31. The gear transmission accuracy is high to accurately control the rotation angle of the conveying mechanism 30, thereby accurately conveying the workpiece.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of the transport device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0058] When the workpiece comes, the carrier 41 is controlled to move along the second direction, the third drive member 421 and the fourth drive member 422 are controlled to drive the drive seat 43 to rise and fall, and the carrier 31 is controlled to rotate relative to the drive seat 43, so that the first slot 3223aa and / or the second slot 3223ba can be moved and adjusted along the first direction to be limitedly matched with the ridge (not shown in the figure) on the workpiece. Taking the first slot 3223aa and the ridge (not shown in the figure) as an example, the first drive member 321 is continued to be controlled to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction to a preset position. At the preset position, the first drive part 3222 is controlled to drive the first connecting part 3223 to rotate so that the first slot 3223aa and the ridge (not shown in the figure) can be limitedly matched along the first direction.

[0059] After the first slot 3223aa is limitedly engaged with the ridge (not shown in the figure) along the first direction, the first driving member 321 is controlled to drive the first connecting seat 3221 to move along the first direction to drive the workpiece to move, and the carrier 41 is controlled to move along the second direction, the third driving member 421 and the fourth driving member 422 are controlled to drive the driving seat 43 to rise and fall, and the carrier 31 is controlled to rotate relative to the driving seat 43, so that the workpiece can be transported at the required angle and three-dimensional spatial position.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
