[0024] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a workpiece loading device includes a carrier plate 1, a first frame 2, and a lifting mechanism 3. Multiple carrier plates 1 are provided for carrying workpieces 100, and each carrier plate 1 can carry multiple workpieces 100. The first frame 2 defines a first channel 21 horizontally. Within the first channel 21 are several carrier racks 22 for supporting the multiple carrier plates 1. The carrier racks 22 are evenly distributed vertically, and each carrier rack 22 can flexibly support a carrier plate 1. The carrier plates 1 slide relative to the carrier racks 22, sliding along the direction of the first channel 21. The lifting mechanism 3 is disposed at one end of the first channel 21 and includes a first drive assembly 31 and a workbench 32. The first drive assembly 31 drives the workbench 32 to slide vertically in connection with the first frame 2. The workbench 32 can communicate with each carrier rack 22. The carrier plates 1 located on the carrier racks 22 slide between the carrier racks 22 and the workbench 32 to complete the loading of the workpieces 100.
[0027] The first frame 2 is provided with a accommodating chamber, an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and the outlet are connected with the accommodating chamber along the same horizontal direction to form a first channel 21. The operator can place a carrier plate 1 on each carrier frame 22 from the inlet of the first frame 2, that is, a distance between the carrier plate 1 and the workpiece 100 is left between two adjacent carrier frames 22.
[0028] The carrier frame 22 is provided with a guide groove 25 for guiding the movement of the carrier plate 1. The length direction of the guide groove 25 is the same as the direction of the first channel 21. Specifically, the outer peripheral side of the carrier plate 1 along the direction of the first channel 21 abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove 25. The bottom of the carrier plate 1 and the inner wall of the guide groove 25 enable the carrier plate 1 to move accurately along the direction of the first channel 21, preventing the carrier plate 1 from shaking left and right and improving the accuracy of the carrier plate 1 during displacement.
[0029] Preferably, the first frame 2 includes a plurality of first guide rails 23 and a plurality of second guide rails 24. The first guide rails 23 and the second guide rails 24 correspond one to one, and the corresponding first guide rails 23 and second guide rails 24 are located on the same horizontal plane. That is, a group of first guide rails 23 and second guide rails 24 constitute the carrier frame 22. The first guide rails 23 are fixed to the inner wall of the carrier frame 22, and the second guide rails 24 are fixed to the corresponding inner wall of the carrier frame 22. More preferably, the cross-sections of the first guide rails 23 and the second guide rails 24 are L-shaped. That is, the first guide rails 23 and the second guide rails 24 are recessed to form guide grooves 25, which support the bottom of the carrier plate 1 and guide the sides of the carrier plate 1. The first guide rails 23 and the second guide rails 24 make the carrier frame 22 lightweight, providing stable support while reducing material usage.
[0030] The workbench 32 is a horizontal structure. The side of the workbench 32 is slidably connected to the first frame 2 along the vertical direction. The workbench 32 is located at the discharge port. Several supporting racks 22 can be connected to the workbench 32. The supporting plate 1 on the supporting rack 22 can move between the workbench 32 and the supporting rack 22.
[0031] Specifically, the first drive assembly 31 includes a first motor 311 and a transmission chain 312. The first motor 311 is fixed to the first frame 2. The top side of the first frame 2 is rotatably connected to a first transmission gear 313, and the bottom side of the first frame 2 is rotatably connected to a second transmission gear 314. The first transmission gear 313 and the second transmission gear 314 are arranged in a vertical direction. The output end of the first motor 311 is in transmission connection with the first transmission gear 313. The transmission chain 312 rotates around the first transmission gear 313 and the second transmission gear 314. The workbench 32 is fixedly connected to the transmission chain 312. The first motor 311 drives the transmission chain 312 to rotate through gear transmission, thereby driving the workbench 32 to slide up and down along the first frame 2 in the vertical direction.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the workbench 32 is provided with a traction assembly 33 to pull the carrier plate 1 between the carrier and the workbench 32. The traction assembly 33 includes a traction member 331 and a clamping jaw 332. In this embodiment, the traction member 331 is a linear module. In other embodiments, the traction member 331 can be driven by a cylinder or a screw. The traction member 331 is fixed to the workbench 32. The output end of the traction member 331 moves toward or away from the first frame 2. The clamping jaw 332 is fixed to the output end of the traction member 331. The clamping end of the clamping jaw 332 is positioned toward the first frame 2 to clamp or release the carrier plate 1.
[0033] Specifically, each carrier plate 1 is fixed with a fastening member 11 that cooperates with the clamping jaw 332. One end of the fastening member 11 protrudes from the carrier plate 1 toward the clamping jaw 332. A limiting groove 12 is recessed in the protruding portion of the fastening member 11. The clamping portion of the clamping jaw 332 is engaged in the limiting groove 12, so that the clamping jaw 332 and the fastening member 11 can maintain a stable connection state, preventing the clamping jaw 332 from being separated from the carrier plate 1. The clamping jaw 332 clamps the carrier plate 1 and can move between the carrier frame 22 and the workbench 32 under the drive of the traction member 331.
[0034] A first slide rail 321 and a second slide rail 322 are fixedly mounted on the workbench 32. The first slide rail 321 and the second slide rail 322 are located on either side of the traction assembly 33 along the length of the first channel 21. A first slide groove 323 is recessed within the first slide rail 321, and a second slide groove 324 is recessed within the second slide rail 322. The first slide groove 323 and the second slide groove 324 form a sliding groove 325 that supports the carrier frame 22 and, in turn, the carrier tray 1.
[0035] When the workbench 32 is connected to the carrier frame 22, the first slide rail 321 is connected to the first guide rail 23, and the second slide rail 322 is connected to the second guide rail 24. The carrier plate 1 slides between the first slide rail 321 and the first guide rail 23 along the direction of the first channel 21. The first slide rail 321 and the second slide rail 322 are both fixed with a stopper 326, which is located in the moving path of the carrier plate 1 to position the workpiece 100.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the carrier plate 1 is equipped with several positioning assemblies, which are arranged in an array on the carrier plate 1 to support multiple workpieces 100. The positioning assemblies include a support plate 13 and several positioning pins 14. The support plate 13 is fixed to the top of the carrier plate 1 to support the workpieces 100 and prevent direct contact between the workpieces 100 and the carrier plate 1. The positioning pins 14 are arranged around the outer periphery of the support plate 13. The positioning pins 14 are fixed to the carrier plate 1 and are higher than the support plate 13 to limit the outer periphery of the workpieces 100, thereby positioning the workpieces 100.
[0037] Principle: A first motor 311 drives the worktable 32 from top to bottom. When the worktable 32 connects to the carrier 22, the traction member 331 drives the clamping jaws 332 to grip the carrier plate 1 on the carrier 22 and pull it onto the worktable 32. After processing is complete, the workpiece 100 on the worktable 32 is pushed back onto the carrier 22. The worktable 32 automatically loads and processes each carrier plate 1 on the carrier 22 in sequence, achieving batch loading and processing of workpieces 100 and improving loading efficiency.
