DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic tray arrangement device, comprising a workbench 1, a loading vibration plate 3 for dispersing stacked products, a picking mechanism 4 for grabbing the scattered independent products in the loading vibration plate 3, and a tray 5 for holding the products grabbed by the picking mechanism 4. The workbench 1 is also provided with a first visual component for observing the front and back of the products in the loading vibration plate 3. In this embodiment, the loading vibration plate 3 can vibrate the stacked materials to disperse them, making it easier for the picking mechanism 4 to pick up the materials, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the first visual component can observe the front and back of the products, thereby preventing the picking mechanism 4 from grabbing the products on the back. A frame 2 is provided on the workbench 1. Specifically, the products are randomly stacked on the loading vibration plate 3 and can be sent to the loading vibration plate 3 by a discharge bin 15. The discharge bin 15 is provided on one side of the loading vibration plate 3. A large number of products can be stored in the discharge bin 15, which is then released through a gate 16 to allow the products to fall into the loading vibration plate 3. During unloading, for example, a lifting mechanism can be used to lift the unloading bin 15 to pour the products in the unloading bin 15 into the loading vibration plate 3. Then the loading vibration plate 3 vibrates, causing the products to vibrate on the plate, and the accumulated products will be shaken away and no longer accumulate. Through multiple rhythmic vibrations, it can be ensured that the accumulated products are completely separated. In the process of vibration, as long as there are products isolated, the material picking mechanism 4 can pick them up. During the process of picking up materials, the loading vibration plate 3 can stop vibrating to avoid the products not being accurately grabbed. The material picking mechanism 4 is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the material is picked up by vacuum adsorption, which is an existing module. Moreover, since it is an existing module, it is convenient to use in conjunction with the first-view component. That is, when the first-view component observes the product, it can send a grabbing signal to the picking mechanism 4 when it finds the pre-set front feature, and the picking mechanism 4 can grab the product. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned fully automatic grabbing, semi-automatic grabbing can also be used. For example, after the first-view component observes the product, it manually determines whether it is the front or the back of the product, and then controls the suction nozzle of the picking mechanism 4 to pick up the material. The above embodiments are all feasible, and this application does not limit this. It can be flexibly selected according to the actual equipment assembly situation, such as cost control.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 7, the first visual component includes at least one first camera 6, the first camera 6 is suspended above the workbench 1 by a bracket 7, and the bracket 7 is installed on the workbench 1. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first visual component is refined and is implemented by a camera. The first camera 6 is arranged above the workbench 1 and can globally observe the situation in the feeding vibration plate 3. Preferably, there are two first cameras 6, and the two first cameras 6 are arranged at intervals by a movable module. The position can be adjusted as needed to be used for other functions, and is not limited to being used only for observing the front and back of the product.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 , the workbench 1 is also provided with a second visual component for observing the posture of the product grabbed by the picking mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first visual component is used for observation before the picking mechanism 4 grabs the product, and the second visual component is used for observation after the picking mechanism 4 grabs the product. After the picking mechanism 4 grabs the product, it will pass through the second visual component, and the second visual component can observe the posture of the product grabbed by the picking mechanism 4. When the posture is unqualified, the product will be rotated by the picking mechanism 4 to ensure that the product can be placed in the tray 5 with the correct posture. Of course, the so-called correct posture here is preset in advance. We can design the posture according to the layout of the product placement position of the tray 5 to ensure the maximum utilization of the tray 5. In addition to having the functions of lifting, rotating, etc., the picking mechanism 4 is convenient for grabbing and rotating products. These functions are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 7 The second visual component includes a second camera 8, which is installed on the workbench 1. The movement path of the picking mechanism 4 is located above the second camera 8. The second camera 8 can be installed on the workbench 1, and the picking mechanism 4 will pass above the second camera 8, thereby facilitating the observation of the product's posture.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 7 , the device also includes a storage bin 9 for storing the pallets 5. In this embodiment, the storage bin 9 can store a large number of pallets 5 at one time, which can improve the efficiency of loading. Preferably, the storage bin 9 includes a bin body and a track 10 provided in the bin body, and the pallets 5 are slidably provided on the track 10. The pallets 5 are loaded and unloaded by sliding the pallets 5 on the track 10 in the bin body, that is, the pallets 5 are loaded and unloaded in a drawer-like manner, which can improve the efficiency of loading and unloading. Preferably, the track 10 has multiple tracks, and the tracks 10 are stacked. The stacking method is used to design multiple tracks 10, which can accommodate more pallets 5.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 7The device also comprises a tray taking-out assembly for taking out the tray 5 from the storage bin 9. In this embodiment, the tray taking-out assembly is used to take out the tray 5 from the storage bin 9, which can improve the efficiency of taking out the tray. Preferably, the tray taking-out assembly comprises a gripper 11 and a driving member for driving the gripper 11 to move linearly, the driving direction of the driving member is the direction in which the tray 5 moves away from the storage bin 9, and the way of taking out the tray is that the driving member drives the gripper 11 to clamp the tray 5, the gripper 11 is composed of two clamps arranged oppositely, the two clamps are driven by the driving member to move close to the tray 5 when the two clamps are opened, the two clamps close to hold the tray 5 when the edge of the tray 5 enters the gap between the two clamps, and then the driving member drives the gripper 11 to move away from the storage bin 9, so that the tray 5 can be taken out from the storage bin 9. Preferably, the storage bin 9 is provided with a lifting mechanism 17, which can drive the storage bin 9 to move up and down, so that the gripper 11 can correspond to the tray 5 on each track 10, thereby orderly taking out all the trays 5 in the storage bin 9.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The tray taking-out assembly also comprises a sliding seat 12, and the tray 5 is slidably arranged on the sliding seat 12. In this embodiment, the sliding seat 12 is provided for the tray 5 to slide thereon, which facilitates the taking out of the tray 5 from the storage bin 9. In particular, when used in cooperation with the gripper 11, the effect is better. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the state of the gripper 11 clamping the tray 5 is shown, and two grippers 11 and two trays 5 are drawn on the sliding seat 12 for the convenience of understanding. In fact, only one gripper 11 moves on the sliding seat 12 with the tray 5. In the initial stage, the gripper 11 clamps the tray 5 near the storage bin 9, and then moves on the sliding seat 12 with the tray 5 to the side of the sliding seat 12 away from the storage bin 9. When the tray 5 is full of products, the tray 5 will be taken away. The means of taking away can be manual taking away or cooperation with the tray taking-out assembly to take away the tray 5. Preferably, the sliding seat 12 is provided with a roller 13, which facilitates the rolling of the tray 5 on the roller 13, thereby improving the efficiency of taking out the tray. The sliding seat 12 can also be provided with a guide wheel 14, which ensures that the tray 5 is accurately sent to the next station.
