[0031] This application proposes a material box positioning device, referring to... Figures 1 to 4The material box positioning device includes: a conveying mechanism, including two parallel conveyor belts 10; a blocking mechanism, including a blocking member 22 disposed between the two conveyor belts 10, and a first driving member 21 for driving the blocking member 22 to rise and fall; a lifting mechanism, disposed on one side of the blocking member 22, for driving the material box to rise and detach from the conveyor belts 10; a positioning mechanism 40, including a mounting frame disposed directly above the lifting mechanism, and a docking member disposed on the mounting frame, the docking member being used to dock with the material box; and a sensor 46 disposed on the mounting frame for detecting the position of the material box.

[0032] The material box positioning device in this embodiment includes a conveying mechanism, a blocking mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a positioning mechanism 40, and a sensor 46. The conveying mechanism transports material through two parallel conveyor belts 10. The blocking mechanism includes a blocking member 22 and a first driving member 21 located between the two conveyor belts 10. The first driving member 21 can drive the blocking member 22 to rise and block the material box, placing it within a designated area of ​​the conveyor belt 10. The lifting and lowering of the first driving member 21 can block and release the material box. The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the blocking member 22 and is used to drive the material box to rise and detach from the conveyor belt 10. The positioning mechanism 40 includes a mounting frame located directly above the lifting mechanism and a docking member located on the mounting frame. The docking member is used to dock with the material box. Through the coordinated movement of the blocking mechanism, the lifting mechanism, and the positioning mechanism 40, the lifting and positioning of the material box can be completed. The sensor 46 is located on the mounting frame and is used to detect the position of the material box. Compared to the method of centering and clamping with a cylinder, the mechanical docking positioning method is more cost-effective.

[0033] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The lifting mechanism includes a second driving member 31 located on one side of the first driving member 21, and a receiving platform 32 located at the driving end of the second driving member 31. The receiving platform 32 is used to receive the material box. The second driving member 31 can be a cylinder, and the receiving platform 32 is located at the end of the push rod of the cylinder. The extension and retraction of the push rod can drive the receiving platform 32 to rise and fall.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The mounting frame is frame-like, and contains a channel for the material box to rise and fall, which is adapted to the material box. In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes mounting plates 41 located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 10, and a connecting plate 42 connecting the two mounting plates 41. The mounting plates 41 and the connecting plate 42 together form a frame structure. The material box can rise and fall within the frame, and the outer contour of the material box is adapted to the contour of the channel of the mounting frame. The material box also has a certain limiting effect inside the mounting frame.

[0035] In addition, the upper end of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting member 43, one end of which is located in the opening of the channel and forms a mounting part; the mating part includes a positioning pin provided in the mounting part. One end of the mounting member 43 is located on the upper end of the mounting plate 41 or the connecting plate 42, and the other end extends towards the middle of the channel and forms the aforementioned mounting part. The upper end of the material box can abut against the mounting member 43 to provide positioning in the Z-axis direction. Of course, the lower end of the positioning pin can also be provided with a certain taper to provide a guiding function. The upper end of the material box can be provided with a positioning hole 52 corresponding to the pin 44. Even if there is a certain gap between the material box and the inner wall of the channel of the mounting bracket, and even if there is a certain deviation in the position of the material box, the positioning hole 52 is not aimed at the positioning pin. Its tapered lower end can also make a certain correction to the position of the material box during the docking process with the positioning hole 52.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting section is provided with a strip-shaped hole for installing the positioning pin, and the position of the positioning pin in the strip-shaped hole can be adjusted. Alternatively, a row of screw holes can be provided along the length of the upper end of the mounting plate 41 or connecting plate 42. These screw holes can be used to install the aforementioned mounting component 43, thereby allowing adjustment of the position of the mounting component 43. In addition, the strip-shaped hole in the mounting section is also used to adjust the position of the positioning pin. The adjustable position of the positioning pin can accommodate material boxes with different positions of the positioning hole 52, expanding the applicability of this device.

[0037] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 The positioning mechanism 40 includes two positioning pins, which are respectively located at two opposite corners of the mounting frame. In this embodiment, the positioning pins at the two corners can play a certain role in avoiding interference when external equipment picks up and puts in materials.

[0038] Furthermore, a corner of the material box is chamfered, and the sensor 46 is located at one corner of the mounting bracket, corresponding to the chamfer 51. A sheet metal part 45 is located at one corner of the mounting bracket, which is used to mount the sensor 46. The sensor 46 is specifically a fiber optic sensor. The material box is installed in the mounting bracket, with its chamfered corner facing the sensor 46. The detection end of the sensor 46 faces downwards. When the corner of the material box without the chamfer 51 is installed at this location, it can obstruct the sensor 46. However, when the corner with the chamfer 51 is installed here, it avoids obstructing the detection end. Therefore, the sensor 46 can be used to detect whether the material box enters the mounting bracket in the appropriate posture, serving as a foolproof detection mechanism.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application also proposes a processing device including the aforementioned material box positioning device, and the processing device further includes a machine base for mounting the material box positioning device. The material box positioning device can be used in the loading and unloading station of the processing device. The blocking mechanism is used to block and release the material box, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the material box to rise and dock with the positioning mechanism 40 to complete the limiting of the material box, so as to facilitate subsequent material picking and unloading.

[0040] Furthermore, the processing equipment also includes a material-picking robot mounted on the machine base, located on one side of the material box positioning device. In this embodiment, the actuator of the robot can be equipped with a suction cup to pick up the workpiece. The workpiece in the material box can be a PCB board, glass plate, silicon wafer, or metal plate, etc. In addition, the processing equipment also includes a laser processing device located on one side of the material-picking robot. The processing equipment in this embodiment can be a laser cutting device or a laser marking device, etc., used to cut or mark the workpiece in the material box. It can also be a screen printing device, which can perform screen printing processing on the surface of the workpiece in the material box, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, the working principle of the material box positioning device and processing equipment is as follows: The material box positioning device in this embodiment includes a conveying mechanism, a blocking mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a positioning mechanism 40, and a sensor 46. The conveying mechanism conveys the material belt through two parallel conveyor belts 10. The blocking mechanism includes a blocking member 22 and a first driving member 21 located between the two conveyor belts 10. The first driving member 21 can drive the blocking member 22 to rise to block the material box, so that the material box is in the set area of ​​the conveyor belt 10. The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the blocking member 22 and is used to drive the material box to rise and detach from the conveyor belt 10. The positioning mechanism 40 includes a mounting frame located directly above the lifting mechanism and a docking member located on the mounting frame. The docking member is used to dock with the material box. Through the coordinated movement of the blocking mechanism, the lifting mechanism, and the positioning mechanism 40, the lifting and positioning of the material box can be completed. The sensor 46 is located on the mounting frame and is used to detect the position of the material box. Compared with the method of centering and clamping positioning with a cylinder, the mechanical docking positioning method is less expensive.
