People have increasingly higher requirements for the quality of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, and the demand for such electronic products is also increasing. Electronic products are becoming increasingly indispensable in people's daily lives. Therefore, the automation of mechanical production of electronic products is an inevitable development trend. In existing automated production equipment, high-precision manipulators are expensive, while low-cost manipulators have low movement accuracy, making it difficult to achieve precise docking movements.

[0003] Therefore, the existing technology has defects and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an automatic flip docking mechanism.

[0005] The technical solution of the present utility model is as follows: an automatic flip docking mechanism is provided, comprising: a linear module, a rotating platform assembly arranged on the moving end of the linear module, positioning assemblies respectively located at both ends of the linear module, and a robotic arm material picking and unloading mechanism, wherein a first material carrier and a second material carrier are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating platform assembly, and the first material carrier and the second material carrier are respectively facing the positioning assembly and the robotic arm material picking and unloading mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating platform assembly includes: a rotating mechanism arranged on the moving end of the linear module, and a rotating table arranged on the output end of the rotating mechanism, and the first material carrier and the second material carrier are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating table.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism adopts a rotating cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, pneumatic clamps are respectively provided on both sides of the first material carrier and the second material carrier, and the pneumatic clamps include: a cylinder bracket arranged on the side wall of the first material carrier and / or the second material carrier, a micro cylinder arranged on the cylinder bracket, and a pressure claw connected to the output end of the micro cylinder, the middle part of the pressure claw is hinged to the cylinder bracket, and one end of the pressure claw is hinged to the output end of the micro cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism includes: a manipulator, a grabbing bracket connected to the output end of the manipulator, a slide cylinder arranged on both sides of the grabbing bracket, and a gripper cylinder respectively arranged on the output ends of the slide cylinders on both sides.

The linear module then drives the rotating platform assembly to move back and forth between the robot picking and unloading mechanism and the positioning assembly, thereby compensating for the problem of poor docking accuracy when the robot picking and unloading mechanism is picking and unloading, greatly saving the time cost and equipment cost of automated assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0013] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides an automatic flip docking mechanism, comprising: a linear module 1, a rotating platform assembly 2 arranged on the moving end of the linear module 1, a positioning assembly 3 and a manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism 4 respectively located at both ends of the linear module 1, and a first material carrier 51 and a second material carrier 52 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating platform assembly 2, and the first material carrier 51 and the second material carrier 52 are respectively facing the positioning assembly 3 and the manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism 4.

[0014] During operation, the linear module 1 moves the rotating platform assembly 2 toward the direction of the manipulator picking and unloading mechanism 4, so that the second material carrier 52 is close to the picking and unloading position of the manipulator picking and unloading mechanism 4. After the manipulator picking and unloading mechanism 4 clamps a raw material from the picking platform, it places the raw material on the second material carrier 52 for clamping and fixing. Then the linear module 1 moves the rotating platform assembly 2 toward the direction of the positioning assembly 3, and starts the rotating platform assembly 2 to swap the positions of the first material carrier 51 and the second material carrier 52, so as to facilitate the material docking of the raw material clamped on the second material carrier 52 with the positioning assembly 3. Before the rotating platform assembly 2 rotates, the finished product on the positioning assembly 3 is picked up by the first material carrier 51. After the rotating platform assembly 2 rotates, the first material carrier 51 is facing the direction of the manipulator picking and unloading mechanism 4. After the second material carrier 52 completes the material docking with the positioning component 3, the linear module 1 drives the rotating platform component 2 to move toward the direction of the robot picking and unloading mechanism 4, so that the robot picking and unloading mechanism 4 can pick up the finished product clamped on the first material carrier 51 and place the raw materials to be assembled on the first material carrier 51, thereby performing a cyclic operation.

[0015] In some embodiments, the rotary platform assembly 2 includes a rotary mechanism 21 disposed at the moving end of the linear module 1, and a rotary table 22 disposed at the output end of the rotary mechanism 21. The first material carrier 51 and the second material carrier 52 are respectively disposed at the ends of the rotary table 22. The rotary mechanism 21 drives the rotary table 22 to rotate, thereby swapping the positions and orientations of the first and second material carriers 51, 52, to meet the requirements of efficient feeding and assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 21 uses a rotating cylinder, which is convenient for assembly, debugging and maintenance, and the power source used is clean and pollution-free and will not affect the external environment.

[0017] In some embodiments, pneumatic clamps 53 are provided on both sides of the first material carrier 51 and the second material carrier 52, respectively. The pneumatic clamps 53 include: a cylinder bracket 531 provided on the side wall of the first material carrier 51 and / or the second material carrier 52, a micro cylinder 532 provided on the cylinder bracket 531, and a pressure claw 533 connected to the output end of the micro cylinder 532. The middle portion of the pressure claw 533 is hinged to the cylinder bracket 531, and one end of the pressure claw 533 is hinged to the output end of the micro cylinder 532. When clamping the material, the micro cylinder 532 is activated to lift the end of the pressure claw 533 connected to the micro cylinder 532, so that the clamping end of the pressure claw 533 is pressed against the product under the action of leverage, thereby increasing the pressing force applied to the product through the leverage effect and ensuring the clamping effect on the product.

[0018] In some embodiments, the manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism 4 includes: a manipulator 41, a grabbing bracket 42 connected to the output end of the manipulator 41, a slide cylinder 43 provided on both sides of the grabbing bracket 42, and a gripper cylinder 44 provided on the output ends of the slide cylinders 43 on both sides. The manipulator 41 drives the grabbing bracket 42 to move and rotate in multiple axes, and the slide cylinder 43 drives the gripper cylinder 44 to reciprocate. After the manipulator 41 moves the grabbing bracket 42 to a position close to the first material carrier 51 or the second material carrier 52, when the first material carrier 51 or the second material carrier 52 holds a finished product, the manipulator 41 moves the unloaded gripper cylinder 44 on one side to the corresponding picking and unloading position, and pushes the gripper cylinder 44 out through the slide cylinder 43, thereby facilitating the gripper cylinder 44 to grip the finished product on the first material carrier 51 or the second material carrier 52, and then the slide cylinder 43 is reset. The manipulator 41 rotates the grabbing bracket 42 so that the gripping cylinder 44 on the other side holding the raw material corresponds to the material picking and unloading position, and the current gripping cylinder 44 is pushed out by the slide cylinder 43, and the raw material clamped by the gripping cylinder 44 is placed on the first material carrier 51 or the second material carrier 52 for clamping and fixing, and then the slide cylinder 43 is reset, and the gripped finished product is moved to the unloading station for unloading by the manipulator 41, and at the same time, the gripping cylinder 44 on the other side clamps the raw material to be processed, waiting for the next set of material picking and unloading work to be carried out.

[0019] To sum up, the utility model uses the rotating platform assembly 2 to quickly exchange the positions of the first material carrier 51 and the second material carrier 52, thereby meeting the need for rapid transfer of materials and finished products. The linear module 1 then drives the rotating platform assembly 2 to move back and forth between the manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism 4 and the positioning assembly 3, thereby compensating for the problem of poor docking accuracy when the manipulator material picking and unloading mechanism 4 is picking and unloading, greatly saving the time cost and equipment cost of automated assembly.

[0020] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
