[0002] With the development of automation in the 3C industry, robotic arms are gradually replacing manual loading and unloading. In automated production lines, due to the large number of product parts that need to be inspected, previously, workers would manually remove parts from the material bins and place them on the inspection equipment. This required a large number of workers to handle loading and unloading, and the workers' handling of materials was often inconsistent, leading to errors and a slow production cycle. Now, with the increasing use of robotic arms for automatic loading, the robotic arms can place workpieces more accurately and significantly shorten the production cycle. However, this requires multiple loading operations to ensure uninterrupted operation. How to continuously and quickly transport a large number of parts within a limited space, facilitating manual material preparation and robotic arm grasping and inspection, is an urgent problem to be solved. To address this, a double-layer alternating uninterrupted conveying structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a double-layer alternating uninterrupted conveying structure, including a mounting base 1, with linear motors 2 mounted on both sides of the mounting base 1, a slide block 3 mounted on the linear motor 2, a double guide rod cylinder 4 mounted on one side of the slide block 3, a support plate 5 mounted on the piston rod of the double guide rod cylinder 4, a clamp 6 for fixing the product mounted on the top of the support plate 5, a guide assembly mounted on the outer side of the double guide rod cylinder 4, a fixing assembly mounted on the top of the support plate 5, and a connecting assembly mounted on the guide assembly; by having two linear motors 2 drive two clamps 6 to move alternately on the mounting base 1, uninterrupted product inspection can be completed. At the same time, the piston rod of the double guide rod cylinder 4 drives the clamps 6 to move up and down, which facilitates product loading, inspection, and unloading, improves the ease of use of the device, avoids the risk of product collision, and improves the yield and quality of finished products;

[0026] The product is placed on a fixture 6 by a robotic arm. Then, a linear motor 2 drives a slide 3 to move, which in turn moves the product inside the fixture 6 on the support plate 5. When the product moves to the rear end of the mounting base 1, it can be inspected. After the product is inspected, the piston rod of the double guide rod cylinder 4 is reset, causing the fixture 6 to move the product to the unloading position for easy unloading. At the same time, the piston rod of the front double guide rod cylinder 4 extends, causing the fixture 6 to move upward. The robotic arm can then place the product on top of the fixture 6, and the slide 3 moves the product to the rear end of the mounting base 1 for inspection. After unloading at the rear end, the fixture 6 moves to the front end of the mounting base 1 driven by the linear motor 2 and the slide 3. Then, the double guide rod cylinder 4 raises the fixture 6, completing the continuous alternating conveying of the product.

[0027] To improve the stability of the product's vertical movement, the guide assembly includes a slide rail 7 and a guide plate 8. The slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the double guide rod cylinder 4, and the guide plate 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rail 7, moving on the outside of the slide rail 7. This enables the support plate 5 to rise and fall smoothly, while improving the support effect of the double guide rod cylinder 4. The connecting assembly includes a mounting plate 11, which is installed on the top of the guide plate 8. A first limiting groove 12 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 11, and the piston rod of the double guide rod cylinder 4 is engaged inside the first limiting groove 12. The fixing assembly includes a hole for inserting fixing bolts to connect the top of the mounting plate 11.

[0028] A drag chain bracket 9 is installed on one side of the slide 3, and drag chains 10 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 1. One end of the drag chain 10 is installed on the drag chain bracket 9, and the drag chain 10 can protect the connected lines.

[0029] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: When alternating conveying and testing of products is required, a robotic arm places the product on a fixture 6 at the top. Then, a linear motor 2 drives a slide 3 to move, which in turn moves the product inside the fixture 6 on the support plate 5. When the product moves to the rear end of the mounting base 1, it can be tested. After the product is tested, the piston rod of the double guide rod cylinder 4 resets, causing the fixture 6 to move the product to the unloading position, facilitating the unloading of the tested product. At the same time, the piston rod of the front double guide rod cylinder 4 extends, causing the fixture 6 to move upward. At this point, the robotic arm places the product on top of the fixture 6, and the slide 3 moves the product to the rear end of the mounting base 1 for testing. After unloading at the rear end, the fixture 6 moves to the front end of the mounting base 1 under the drive of the linear motor 2 and the slide 3. Then, the double guide rod cylinder 4 raises the fixture 6, completing the alternating and uninterrupted conveying of products, improving testing efficiency, avoiding the risk of product collisions, and increasing the yield and quality of finished products.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 5-6 Unlike Embodiment 1, the fixing assembly includes a limiting plate 13 and a pull plate 14. The limiting plate 13 passes through one end of the support plate 5, and the pull plate 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting plate 13. One end of the limiting plate 13 is provided with an inclined surface 17. One end of the support plate 5 is provided with a groove 15, and a tension spring 16 is fixedly connected inside the groove 15. One end of the tension spring 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull plate 14. One side of the mounting plate 11 is provided with a second limiting groove 18. One bottom end of the support plate 5 is fixedly connected with a positioning post 19, and the top of the mounting plate 11 is... A positioning groove 20 is provided, and the positioning pin 19 matches the positioning groove 20. When installing the replacement clamp 6, the positioning pin 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 20, and then the support plate 5 is pushed down to move. At this time, the limiting plate 13 is moved by force, and the tension spring 16 is stretched. When the limiting plate 13 moves to the outside of the second limiting groove 18, the tension spring 16 drives the limiting plate 13 on the pull plate 14 to reset, so that the limiting plate 13 is inserted into the inside of the second limiting groove 18, and the installation of the support plate 5 can be completed without the need for tools, saving time and effort.

[0032] When the clamp 6 is replaced, the pull plate 14 is pulled outward so that one end of the pull plate 14 is disengaged from the interior of the limiting plate 13. At this time, the support plate 5 can be moved upward so that the positioning post 19 is disengaged from the interior of the positioning groove 20. This completes the disassembly of the support plate 5 and facilitates the replacement of the clamp 6.

[0033] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: When installing the replacement clamp 6, the support plate 5 is pressed against the top of the mounting plate 11. During this process, the positioning pin 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 20. At this time, the inclined surface 17 of one end of the limiting plate 13 is pressed against the outside of the mounting plate 11. Then, the support plate 5 is pushed down to move. At this time, the limiting plate 13 is moved by force, and the tension spring 16 is stretched. When the limiting plate 13 moves to the outside of the second limiting groove 18, the tension spring 16 drives the limiting plate 13 on the pull plate 14 to reset, so that the limiting plate 13 is inserted into the inside of the second limiting groove 18, thus completing the installation of the support plate 5 without the need for tools, saving time and effort.
