In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. It is stated in advance. The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or features, these components or features should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one feature from another. In addition, the term "or" used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, depending on the actual situation.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 13 As shown, it is an embodiment of the present utility model. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a plate handling device 100 for temporarily storing and adjusting the position of a plate B. The thickness of the plate B can range from 0.2 mm to 3.4 mm, and the type of the plate B can be adjusted based on actual needs. For example, the plate B can be a copper foil substrate, a glass substrate, or a composite substrate (e.g., a glass-copper foil composite substrate).

[0033] In more detail, if Figure 1 As shown, the plate B in this embodiment includes an annular invalid section B1 located at the periphery and a transverse invalid section B2 located within the annular invalid section B1. In addition, the plate B may further include a longitudinal invalid section B3 located within the annular invalid section B1 and crossing the transverse invalid section B2 according to actual needs. The annular invalid section B1, the transverse invalid section B2, and the longitudinal invalid section B3 refer to sections of the plate B that are not related to operation, thereby facilitating the plate picking and placing device 100 to obtain. Furthermore, the width of the annular invalid section B1 can be selected to be between 5 mm and 15 mm, and the width of the transverse invalid section B2 (or the longitudinal invalid section B3) can be selected to be between 3 mm and 15 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0034] In this embodiment, the plate loading and unloading equipment 100 includes a conveyor device 1, a multi-layer plate storage device 2 disposed below the conveyor device 1 along a height direction H, a steering device 3 disposed above the conveyor device 1 along the height direction H, and a lifting device 4 connected to the multi-layer plate storage device 2 and the steering device 3. The lifting device 4 can drive the multi-layer plate storage device 2 and the steering device 3 to move along the height direction H (synchronously or asynchronously). In this embodiment, the conveyor device 1, the multi-layer plate storage device 2, and the steering device 3 are arranged vertically along the height direction H, thereby effectively reducing the floor space occupied by the factory.

[0035] It should be noted that the plate handling device 100 in this embodiment is described as including the combination of the aforementioned devices, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the steering device 3 can be omitted based on actual needs, and the conveying device 1, the multi-layer plate storage device 2, and the steering device 3 are collectively defined as a plate temporary storage device.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying device 1 has a receiving surface located directly below the turning device 3, and the conveying device 1 is used to receive the plate B transmitted from an upstream conveying device 200 (such as a roller conveyor) along a first direction D1 perpendicular to the height direction H, so that the plate B is located on the receiving surface.

[0037] In which, the conveying device 1 is formed with multiple avoidance channels 14 along the height direction H, and the structure of the conveying device 1 can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs to form corresponding multiple avoidance channels 14. The following example illustrates one feasible structure of the conveying device 1, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveyor device 1 includes a conveyor drive mechanism 11, a plurality of rolling elements 12 disposed on the conveyor drive mechanism 11, and a plurality of guide wheels 13 located on opposite sides of the plurality of rolling elements 12. The plurality of rolling elements 12 (their top edges) collectively define the receiving surface, and the conveyor drive mechanism 11 is capable of driving the plurality of rolling elements 12 to rotate to receive and move the sheet B transmitted from the upstream conveyor device 200, thereby conveying the sheet B to a default position (e.g., directly below the diverter device 3).

[0039] It should be further explained that the conveying drive mechanism 11 includes a frame 111, a drive motor 112 mounted on the frame 111, and a transmission unit 113 (e.g., a gear and a shaft) mounted on the frame 111. The frame 111 supports a plurality of rolling elements 12, and at least one escape channel 14 is located between two adjacent rolling elements 12. Furthermore, at least one escape channel 14 includes a through-groove 141 located on the frame 111 and recessed along the height direction H. Furthermore, the transmission unit 113 is linked to the drive motor 112 and the plurality of rolling elements 12, such that the drive motor 112 can drive the plurality of rolling elements 12 to rotate synchronously via the transmission unit 113, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] The plurality of guide wheels 13 are mounted on the frame 111 and are not driven by the drive motor 112. The guide wheels 13 are slightly higher than the rolling elements 12. Thus, when the rolling elements 12 rotate to receive and move the sheet B, the guide wheels 13 respectively abut against the two side edges of the annular inactive section B1 of the sheet B, accurately guiding the sheet B during movement. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the guide wheels 13 may be omitted or replaced with other components based on actual needs.

[0041] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the multi-layer plate storage device 2 in this embodiment includes an outer frame 21 and a plurality of temporary storage partitions 22 mounted within the outer frame 21. The outer frame 21 includes a plurality of components for fixing the relative positions of the plurality of temporary storage partitions 22, and the outer frame 21 is fixed to the lifting device 4 so that the multi-layer plate storage device 2 can be moved by the lifting device 4, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of temporary storage partitions 22 can also be fixed to other devices (such as the lifting device 4) according to actual needs, thereby omitting the outer frame 21.

[0042] The plurality of temporary storage partitions 22 are spaced apart from one another along the first direction D1, and each temporary storage partition 22 corresponds to one of the avoidance passages 14 (or corresponds to one of the avoidance passages 14 and one of the through slots 141) along the height direction H. The plurality of temporary storage partitions 22 collectively define a plurality of layers of plate storage chambers 23 arranged along the height direction H; that is, each layer of the plate storage chambers 23 is formed by corresponding portions of the plurality of temporary storage partitions 22 along the first direction D1, and each layer of the plate storage chambers 23 is capable of storing one plate B therein.

[0043] More specifically, each of the temporary storage partitions 22 is formed with a plurality of abutting protrusions 221, a plate storage opening 222 located above the plurality of abutting protrusions 221, and at least one plate removal opening 223 located between the plurality of abutting protrusions 221 in each layer of the plate storage chamber 23. Thus, the plate B placed in any of the plate storage chambers 23 is located within one of the plate storage openings 222 of each temporary storage partition 22 and placed above the corresponding plurality of abutting protrusions 221, and at least one plate removal opening 223 is used to supply a downstream conveying device 300 (such as Figure 9 The robotic arm or fork arm shown in the figure obtains the plate B and leaves the corresponding plate storage chamber 23.

[0044] like Figure 1 、 Figure 7 ,and Figure 8 As shown, the steering device 3 in this embodiment includes a lifting mechanism 31 fixed to the lifting device 4, a rotating mechanism 32 disposed on the lifting mechanism 31, a rotating disk 33 disposed on the lifting mechanism 31 and the rotating mechanism 32, two clamping mechanisms 34 disposed on opposite sides of the rotating disk 33, and a plurality of suction cups 35 disposed on the rotating disk 33, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of suction cups 35 can also be selectively used or omitted based on actual needs.

[0045] Specifically, the turntable 33 is disposed along the height direction H toward the conveying device 1 . The turntable 33 and the rotating mechanism 32 can be moved along the height direction H by the lifting mechanism 31 , and the rotating mechanism 32 can drive the turntable 33 to rotate about a rotation axis C parallel to the height direction H. The lifting mechanism 31 can be an electric lifting cylinder, and the rotating mechanism 32 can be, for example, a rotary motor and a reducer coupled to the rotary motor, or a rotary cylinder. The turntable 33 is illustrated as a square plate, but is not limited thereto.

[0046] In this embodiment, the two clamping mechanisms 34 are disposed substantially in mirror-symmetrical fashion on opposite sides of the turntable 33. The two clamping mechanisms 34 are capable of relative movement relative to the turntable 33 along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the height direction H and the first direction D1. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the two clamping mechanisms 34 may be disposed in non-mirror-symmetrical fashion or have different structures.

[0047] More specifically, in this embodiment, each clamping mechanism 34 comprises an opening / closing cylinder assembly 341, a plurality of clamping claws 342 disposed on the opening / closing cylinder assembly 341, and two guide wheels 343 disposed at the two ends of the opening / closing cylinder assembly 341. Each clamping mechanism 34 can be operated by the opening / closing cylinder assembly 341 to cause the plurality of clamping claws 342 and the two guide wheels 343 to move relative to each other along the second direction D2.

[0048] In each clamping mechanism 34, the plurality of clamping jaws 342 are spaced apart along the first direction D1, and the two guide wheels 343 are disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of clamping jaws 342. In other words, the plurality of clamping jaws 342 and the two guide wheels 343 of each clamping mechanism 34 are generally arranged in a row along the first direction D1 and protrude from the bottom surface of the turntable 33. The plurality of clamping jaws 342 of the two clamping mechanisms 34 collectively define a working area 344. The working area 344 is adjacent to the bottom surface of the turntable 33 and can be adjusted in size by the opening and closing cylinder assembly 341 to accommodate plates B of varying sizes.

[0049] In more detail, each of the clamping jaws 342 includes a clamping and releasing cylinder 3421 and an upper clamping portion 3422 and a lower clamping portion 3423 installed on the clamping and releasing cylinder 3421, and the upper clamping portion 3422 and the lower clamping portion 3423 can be synchronously moved relative to each other along the height direction H through the clamping and releasing cylinder 3421, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the upper clamping portion 3422 and the lower clamping portion 3423 of each of the clamping jaws 342 can also be moved relative to each other along the height direction H through other components. In addition, the upper clamping portion 3422 and the lower clamping portion 3423 of each of the clamping jaws 342 can optionally be made of an electrostatically conductive material so that static electricity can be eliminated when they contact the plate B, thereby preventing the plate B from becoming a defective product due to static electricity breakdown.

[0050] Furthermore, the plurality of suction cups 35 are located substantially in the center of the bottom surface of the turntable 33. The plurality of suction cups 35 are arranged along the first direction D1, between the two clamping mechanisms 34, and adjacent to the working area 344. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of suction cups 35 may be omitted or arranged in a cross pattern on the bottom surface of the turntable 33 based on actual needs.

[0051] According to the above, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 ,and Figure 9 As shown, when the plate B is placed on the receiving surface, and the multi-layer plate storage device 2 can rise along the height direction H to a first plate storage position (eg: Figure 9 ), the top edges of the multiple temporary storage baffles 22 pass through the multiple avoidance channels 14 and abut against the annular inactive section B1, thereby lifting the plate B. The receiving surface is located within one of the plate storage chambers 23, and is used to receive another plate B' transported from the upstream conveying device 200 along the first direction D1. It should be noted that the top edges of the multiple temporary storage baffles 22 can also abut against at least one of the annular inactive section B1, the transverse inactive section B2, and the longitudinal inactive section B3, as needed.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 1 ,and Figures 9 to 11 As shown, when the sheet B is taken away from the multiple temporary storage shelves 22 by the downstream conveying device 300, the steering device 3 can independently move along the height direction H and grab the sheet B to leave the downstream conveying device 300, and after rotating the sheet B to a preset angle, place the sheet B on the downstream conveying device 300. More specifically, when the sheet B is moved to the working area 344 by the downstream conveying device 300, the multiple clamping claws 342 of the two clamping mechanisms 34 can jointly clamp the annular inactive section B1 of the sheet B, so that the rotating mechanism 32 can rotate the turntable 33, thereby rotating the sheet B by the preset angle, and then placing the sheet B on the downstream conveying device 300.

[0053] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the downstream conveying device 300 is used to obtain the plate B located on the top layer for the steering device 3 to adjust the angle, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the downstream conveying device 300 can also, based on actual needs, first extract the other plate B' located on another layer from the corresponding plate storage chamber 23 and then move it between the multi-layer plate storage device 2 and the steering device 3 to facilitate the steering device 3 to adjust the angle.

[0054] In addition, if Figure 1 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, when the other plate B' is placed on the receiving surface in one of the plate storage chambers 23, and the multi-layer plate storage device 2 can rise from the first plate storage position to a second plate storage position along the height direction H (e.g., Figure 13 ), the other plate B' is located in the corresponding plate storage chamber 23 and rises together to leave the receiving surface, and the receiving surface is located in another of the plate storage chambers 23 to receive another plate B".

[0055] It should be noted that the different numbers used for the multiple plates B, B', and B" in this embodiment are used to represent the different storage locations. However, the structures or types of the multiple plates B, B', and B" can be the same or different, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in this embodiment, any of the plate storage chambers 23 of the multi-layer plate storage device 2 must be at least lifted above the conveying device 1 before it can have the function of accommodating the plates B. In other words, any of the plate storage chambers 23 located below the conveying device 1 will not be used to accommodate the plates B.
