DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] This application provides a loading and unloading coordination system for multiple processing equipment, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present application, a collaborative loading and unloading system for multiple processing equipment includes: a linear moving device 1, on which a moving seat 11 is provided; a robotic arm 2, installed on the moving seat 11, and a material picking device 21 is provided on the robotic arm 2; a plurality of first-process processing equipment 3, which are arranged on one side of the linear moving device 1; a plurality of second-process processing equipment 4, which are arranged on the other side of the linear moving device 1; and a plurality of material trays 5, which are arranged on the end side of the linear moving device 1; wherein the linear moving device 1 is used to drive the moving seat 11 to move, so that the robotic arm 2 can load and unload materials between the material tray 5, the first-process processing equipment 3 and the second-process processing equipment 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, by placing first-process processing equipment 3 and second-process processing equipment 4 on either side of a linear motion device 1 and placing a material tray 5 at the end of the linear motion device 1, the linear motion device 1 can drive the robotic arm 2 to first place the products in the material tray 5 into the first-process processing equipment 3 for processing, then send the products that have completed the first process to the second-process processing equipment 4 for processing, and finally return the products that have completed the second process to the material tray. This allows for simultaneous coordination of multiple processing devices. Furthermore, by coordinating the process rhythms, waiting time for loading and unloading can be reduced.

[0037] In one application scenario, after the product 100 has been processed in the first step, it needs to be turned over for the second step. Based on this, in this embodiment, the movable seat 11 is optionally provided with a turning device 12 for turning the product after the first step to the second step with the processing surface facing upward.

[0038] See also Figure 3 The flipping device 12 includes: a flipping cylinder 121, which is installed on the side wall of the moving base 11; and a clamping cylinder 122, which is installed on the rotating shaft of the flipping cylinder 121.

[0039] In this embodiment, after the robot arm 2 takes out the product processed by the first process processing equipment 3, it can place it on the clamping cylinder 122. After turning it over through the flipping cylinder 121, the robot arm 2 then sends the product into the second process processing equipment 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, by placing the flipping device 12 on the movable base 11, the product can be flipped during movement. For example, after the robot arm 2 removes the product processed by the first processing equipment 3 and places it on the flipping device 12, the movable base 11 then drives the robot arm 2 to move to the second processing equipment 4, and the flipping device 12 can complete the product flipping.

[0041] See also Figure 4Optionally, the material picking device 21 includes: a mounting plate 211 , a central portion of which is mounted on the rotating shaft of the robotic arm 2 ; and two material picking claws 212 , respectively disposed at both ends of the mounting plate 211 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the retrieving device 21 is equipped with two retrieving grippers 212, which can simultaneously retrieve and load materials. For example, when loading materials to the first-step processing equipment 3, one retrieving gripper 212 in the retrieving device 21 retrieves materials from the material tray 5, while the other remains idle. When the robot arm 2 moves the retrieving device 21 to the first-step processing equipment 3, the idle retrieving gripper 212 first grabs the product that has completed the first-step processing. Then, the retrieving gripper 212 holding the product to be processed places the product to be processed into the first-step processing equipment 3, completing both unloading and loading.

[0043] In this embodiment, preferably, the number of the first process processing equipment 3 is two, which can be arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the linear moving device 1; the number of the second process processing equipment 4 is one.

[0044] Preferably, the processing time of the product processed by the first process processing equipment 3 is not less than twice the processing time of the product processed by the second process processing equipment 4. This can fully improve the overall processing efficiency.

[0045] It should be noted that the linear motion device 1 can be implemented by using a linear motion module in the prior art; or, it can be implemented by using the moving mechanism in the seven-axis collaborative robot and multi-station loading and unloading collaborative system disclosed in the patent CN220922413U previously applied for by the applicant.

[0046] In summary, the present invention's collaborative loading and unloading system for multiple processing equipment utilizes a linear motion device 1, with a first-process processing device 3 and a second-process processing device 4 disposed on either side thereof, and a material tray 5 disposed at the end of the linear motion device 1. The linear motion device 1 can drive the robotic arm 2 to first place the product in the material tray 5 into the first-process processing device 3 for processing, then send the product that has completed the first process to the second-process processing device 4 for processing, and finally place the product that has completed the second process back into the material tray. This system can simultaneously collaborate with multiple processing equipment. Furthermore, by coordinating the process beats, waiting time for loading and unloading can be reduced.
