[0047] The present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of explanation and are not limitations of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be noted that only parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the drawings for the purpose of description.

[0048] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other in the case of no conflict. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0049] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / examples shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that can implement the technical ideas of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of various embodiments / examples can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged, and / or rearranged without departing from the technical ideas of the present disclosure.

[0050] In the drawings, cross-hatching and / or shading are generally used to indicate that a portion of one component is positioned above another component. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence of cross-hatching or shading is not a requirement of the claimed disclosure. In addition, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the sizes of the components shown in the figures can be exaggerated relative to other components. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, a specific process sequence can be performed in a different order from that described. For example, two consecutively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to that described. In addition, the same reference numerals represent the same components.

[0051] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components can be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on", "directly connected to", or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components present. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.

[0052] For descriptive purposes, the disclosure can use spatially relative terms, such as "below," "lower," "under," "downward," "below" and "bottom" and "on" and "upper" and "over" and "top" and so on, to describe the relative position of one component to another in the drawings as shown. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings. For example, if a device is inverted, then a component described as "below" or "beneath" another component or feature is then positioned "above" the other component or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0053] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "including," "includes," "having," "has," "with," or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising." It is also noted that the terms "substantial," "approximately," and other similar terms, as used herein, are used in a relative sense and not in an absolute sense. Thus, they are used to indicate that a value, calculation, and / or provided value is close to a true value, but not exact.

[0054] Figure 1 is a structural schematic view of a material taking and placing mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a structural schematic view of another angle of a material taking and placing mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a structural schematic view of another state of a material taking and placing mechanism according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the material taking and placing mechanism of the present disclosure can include a seat member 101, a lifting driving device 102, a support portion 103, a rotating driving device 104, a connecting plate 106, and the like.

[0056] The base part 101 can be fixed on the ground or other equipment. The base part 101 is provided with two guide rails, which are vertically arranged. The bracket part 103 is provided with a sliding block, which is slidably arranged on the guide rails, so that the bracket part 103 can move vertically (i.e. lifting movement) relative to the base part 101.

[0057] In the present disclosure, the bracket part 103 can be driven by the lifting driving device 102 to produce lifting movement. Specifically, the lifting driving device 102 can be a cylinder, which can be directly or indirectly fixed to the base part 101, so that the bracket part 103 produces lifting movement through the movement of the cylinder.

[0058] The rotating driving device 104 is arranged on the bracket part 103 to output rotating action through the rotating driving device 104. Specifically, the rotating driving device 104 can be a motor, which is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 105, so that the rotating shaft 105 is rotatably arranged on the bracket part 103, and correspondingly, the rotating shaft 105 has two degrees of freedom of movement, i.e. lifting and rotating, relative to the base part 101.

[0059] The connecting plate 106 is connected to the rotating shaft 105, and through the rotation of the rotating shaft 105, the connecting plate 106 is driven to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 105 by a preset angle; in a specific embodiment, the preset angle can be 180°. Of course, the preset angle can also be other values, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0060] Referring again to Figures 1 to 3 The pick-and-place mechanism of the present disclosure can further include a quick release base 200, a quick release part 300, an adjusting plate 400 and a suction cup 500.

[0061] The quick release base 200 is fixed to the connecting plate 106; specifically, the quick release base 200 is arranged offset to the axis of the rotating shaft 105, so that the quick release base 200 has a large radius of movement, which is determined according to the position before the material to be conveyed is conveyed and the position after the material is conveyed.

[0062] Figure 4 is a structural schematic view of the quick release base and the quick release part according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a structural schematic view of the quick release base and the quick release part from another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 is a structural schematic view of the quick release part according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the quick release base 200 is provided with a T-slot, the extension direction of which can be parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 105. Accordingly, the cross section of the quick release component 300 is formed into a T-shape, so that the quick release component 300 can be slidably disposed in the T-slot of the quick release base 200.

[0064] That is to say, the quick-release component 300 can be slidably arranged on the quick-release base 200, and after the quick-release component 300 is inserted into the preset position of the quick-release base 200, the quick-release component 300 and the quick-release base 200 are fixed by the pin structure; thus, when the material taking and releasing mechanism of the present disclosure is in use, the relative position between the quick-release component 300 and the quick-release base 200 cannot change; when it is necessary to replace the adjustment plate 400 and other components, the pin structure can be removed from the quick-release base 200, and then the quick-release component 300 can be pulled out from the quick-release base 200, and the replacement of the adjustment plate 400 can be completed, and the replacement of the adjustment plate 400 is time-saving, labor-saving, convenient and quick.

[0065] A baffle 210 is fixed to the quick-release base 200 . Specifically, the baffle 210 is fixed to one end of the quick-release base 200 in the longitudinal direction. One end of the quick-release component 300 contacts the baffle 210 and is restricted in position by the baffle 210 , thereby achieving the installation of the quick-release component 300 in place.

[0066] A magnetic element 310 is provided at one end of the quick-release component 300. A receiving groove is provided on the baffle 210. At least a portion of the magnetic element 310 is located within the receiving groove, thereby allowing one surface of the baffle 210 to be in close contact with one end of the quick-release component 300. In a specific embodiment, the magnetic element 310 can be a magnet.

[0067] On the other hand, a magnetic sensor 220 is fixed to the baffle 210 and is used to detect the position of the magnetic element 310. In other words, when the magnetic element 310 is inserted into the receiving slot of the baffle 210, the magnetic element 310 triggers the magnetic sensor 220, thereby outputting a signal indicating that the quick-release component 300 is in place. In a specific embodiment, the magnetic sensor 220 may be a Hall effect element or a reed switch.

[0068] Furthermore, once the quick-release component 300 of the present disclosure is installed, it can be positioned using the positioning component 230. Specifically, two threaded holes are provided at both ends of the quick-release base 200, into which the positioning components 230 are mounted. The positioning components 230 can be glass bead screws that can be fixed within the threaded holes. Accordingly, a hemispherical groove corresponding to the glass bead screw is formed on the quick-release component 300. When the quick-release component 300 is installed, the steel ball of the glass bead screw can be located within the hemispherical groove, thereby achieving the positioning of the quick-release component 300.

[0069] Moreover, the quick release component 300 can be provided with pin holes at both ends, and the pin structure 240 can be fixed to the quick release base 200, and at least part of the pin structure 240 can be inserted into the pin holes, so that the quick release component 300 and the quick release base 200 are fixed in position by the pin structure 240.

[0070] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the adjusting plate 400 is fixed to the quick release component 300, and the suction cup 500 is arranged on the adjusting plate 400, and the position of the suction cup 500 on the adjusting plate 400 is adjustable.

[0071] Figure 7 is a schematic view of the structure of the adjusting plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] As shown in Figure 7 , the adjusting plate 400 of the present disclosure is formed in a substantially square shape and includes a first direction and a second direction, wherein the length direction of the adjusting plate 400 is the first direction, and the width direction of the adjusting plate 400 is the second direction. At this time, the position of the suction cup 500 can be adjusted in the first direction and / or the second direction, so that the pick-and-place mechanism of the present disclosure can adapt to components of different sizes. Of course, the adjusting plate 400 of the present disclosure can also be formed in a substantially square structure.

[0073] As shown in Figure 7 , the adjusting plate 400 of the present disclosure includes an array of through holes 410, and in one specific embodiment, the through holes 410 can be arranged in 11 rows and 11 columns, for a total of 121 through holes 410.

[0074] A plurality of long strip holes are arranged between two rows of through holes 410, and the length direction of the long strip hole forms a preset angle with the first direction, so that the long strip hole can be formed in the area between two through holes 410. In one embodiment, the long strip hole can include a first long strip hole 420 and a second long strip hole 430, which are arranged alternately, and the preset angle between the first long strip hole 420 and the first direction is 45°, and the preset angle between the second long strip hole 430 and the second direction is 135°, that is, two adjacent first long strip holes 420 and second long strip holes are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0075] More preferably, the long strip holes on both sides of a row of through holes 410 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the row of through holes 410, so that the adjusting plate 400 of the present disclosure can on the one hand conveniently adjust the position of the suction cup 500, and on the other hand, the adjusting plate 400 also has greater strength, so that the adjusting plate 400 is not easily deformed.

[0076] Overall, the suction cup 500 of the present disclosure can be installed in different through holes 410, or installed in different long strip-shaped holes, so that the position of the suction cup 500 on the adjusting plate 400 is adjustable.

[0077] Therefore, the pick-and-place mechanism of the present disclosure can facilitate the replacement of the adjusting plate 400 through the adjustable position of the suction cup and the setting of the quick-change assembly (including the quick-change base and the quick-change component). Specifically, when the objects within a certain range of sizes are flipped, the position of the suction cup can be adjusted to adapt to different objects, and when the objects outside a certain range of sizes are flipped, the adjusting plate 400 can be replaced through the quick-change assembly, so that the pick-and-place mechanism of the present disclosure can adapt to the frequent switching production of different sizes of panels in the factory. Moreover, the pick-and-place mechanism of the present disclosure also facilitates the installation and maintenance of the adjusting plate 400.
