Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device manufacturing technology, and in particular to a handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, automated conveying systems are increasingly widely used, especially in the production of flatbed equipment. As a key component, the performance of the conveying arm directly affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Some traditional solutions rely primarily on a single adsorption device for material handling. However, flatbed conveying equipment frequently needs to handle brittle materials such as glass, and traditional solutions, lacking protective measures, are prone to damaging these fragile items during transport. Furthermore, in addition to basic handling requirements, products often need to be flipped or repositioned during production. Traditional conveying solutions typically require additional flipping mechanisms, increasing equipment complexity, resulting in a bulky and costly overall structure.

[0004] The above information disclosed in the background art of this utility model is only used to understand the background of the concept of this utility model, and may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a material handling device to address the aforementioned problems.

[0006] A handling device comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A drive unit is mounted on the frame;

[0009] A mounting plate, the mounting plate being connected to the driving device and capable of rotating under the drive of the driving device; and

[0010] An adsorption device includes a support plate, an elastic element, a positioning plate, a guide rod, and an adsorption assembly connected to the mounting plate. The adsorption assembly and the positioning plate are located on opposite sides of the support plate. The guide rod is slidably inserted through the support plate. One end of the guide rod is connected to the positioning plate, and the other end of the guide rod is connected to the adsorption assembly. The positioning plate can limit the movement stroke of the guide rod. The elastic element abuts against the adsorption assembly and the support plate. The adsorption assembly is used to adsorb workpieces.

[0011] The aforementioned handling equipment achieves at least the following beneficial effects: the adsorption component can adsorb workpieces such as panels, and the drive device provides power, enabling the mounting plate to rotate the support plate and the adsorption component, thereby achieving workpiece flipping. The drive device can be driven by a rotary cylinder, servo motor, etc., and the rotation speed and direction can be adjusted by the control system to achieve precise handling and flipping of the workpiece. The guide rod is slidably inserted through the support plate, with one end connected to the positioning plate and the other end connected to the adsorption component. Its sliding design allows the adsorption component to make precise linear movements when adsorbing and releasing workpieces, enhancing the stability and accuracy of operation. The positioning plate is responsible for limiting the travel of the guide rod. It ensures that the adsorption component can remain within a predetermined range when adsorbing and releasing workpieces, avoiding damage caused by excessive movement. The elastic element is located between the adsorption component and the support plate, providing cushioning and support. When the adsorption component just comes into contact with the workpiece, the elastic element can deform appropriately to absorb the impact force received by the adsorption component, preventing the adsorption component from exerting excessive force on the workpiece and causing damage.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adsorption device further includes a linear bearing. A through-hole is provided on the support plate, and the linear bearing is embedded in the through-hole. The guide rod slidably passes through the linear bearing. The through-hole on the support plate provides space for the linear bearing, ensuring it is securely embedded in the support plate. The design of the through-hole must take into account the size and positioning of the linear bearing to ensure good fit and stability. The guide rod slides through the linear bearing, enabling smoother linear movement. This design reduces friction between the guide rod and the support plate, lowers energy loss, and improves the response speed and accuracy of the adsorption assembly during workpiece adsorption and release. The introduction of the linear bearing makes the sliding of the guide rod smoother and more precise. The linear bearing reduces friction on the guide rod during movement, improves movement efficiency, and ensures unimpeded linear movement of the guide rod on the support plate. This ensures the guide rod remains stable during movement, avoiding vibration or deviation caused by excessive friction, thereby improving the safety of workpiece handling.

[0013] In some embodiments, the number of guide rods, linear bearings, and through holes are all multiple and correspond one-to-one, with one end of each guide rod connected to the positioning plate. The multiple guide rods enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the equipment. The connection of one end of each guide rod to the positioning plate ensures that the adsorption assembly maintains good positioning and support during workpiece adsorption and release, reducing deformation or failure caused by excessive load on a single guide rod. The design of each guide rod corresponding to one linear bearing and one through hole allows each guide rod to slide smoothly within its respective linear bearing. This configuration ensures the parallelism and stability of the guide rods during movement, avoiding uneven movement caused by mutual interference between guide rods. The design of multiple guide rods disperses the force applied to the adsorption assembly, making the equipment more reliable when handling heavy or large workpieces and reducing the risk of structural damage due to concentrated force. The configuration of multiple guide rods allows the adsorption assembly to distribute pressure more evenly during workpiece adsorption and release, reducing deviations caused by uneven movement of a single guide rod, thereby improving operational accuracy.

[0014] In some embodiments, the adsorption assembly includes a fixed plate and a suction nozzle connected to the fixed plate. An elastic element is elastically held between the fixed plate and the support plate. The suction nozzle is located on the side of the fixed plate opposite to the elastic element and is used to adsorb the workpiece. The fixed plate, as the main support structure of the adsorption assembly, provides a stable foundation. It connects to the suction nozzle and interacts with the support plate through the elastic element, ensuring the overall stability and functionality of the adsorption assembly. The suction nozzle, located on the side of the fixed plate opposite to the elastic element, is specifically designed for adsorbing workpieces. Its design can be optimized according to the shape and surface characteristics of the workpiece, and flexible materials are typically used to enhance sealing and adsorption effect. The suction nozzle firmly adsorbs the workpiece using negative pressure or vacuum suction, ensuring no slippage during handling. The elastic element, located between the fixed plate and the support plate, effectively reduces the impact on the workpiece during adsorption and release, minimizing the risk of damage to the workpiece surface, and is particularly suitable for fragile workpieces or workpieces with high surface requirements.

[0015] In some embodiments, the elastic element is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the guide rod. The structure and shape of the guide rod limit the range of motion of the elastic element. This design ensures that the elastic element will not detach or shift during operation, thus maintaining its stable support and cushioning function. Because the guide rod restricts the displacement of the elastic element, it can more effectively provide uniform support force. This support force can automatically adjust with changes in load, ensuring the guide rod remains stable during movement and reducing vibration and offset.

[0016] In some embodiments, the number of elastic elements corresponds one-to-one with the number of guide rods.

[0017] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a compression spring.

[0018] In some embodiments, the handling equipment further includes a vacuum gauge mounted on the frame for detecting and displaying vacuum values. The vacuum gauge allows operators to adjust the equipment's operating parameters promptly based on the displayed vacuum value, ensuring handling is performed under optimal vacuum conditions and improving operational efficiency. By monitoring the vacuum value in real time, operators can promptly detect abnormalities in the vacuum system, such as vacuum leaks or insufficient vacuum, and take necessary measures.

[0019] In some embodiments, the handling equipment further includes a manifold disposed on the rack and used for branching or distributing the vacuum source. Centralized management of the vacuum source via a manifold simplifies piping layout, reduces the complexity of pipe connections, thereby lowering the potential risk of leakage and improving system reliability.

[0020] In some embodiments, the frame includes a base plate, side plates connected to the base plate, and reinforcing ribs connecting the base plate and the side plates. The reinforcing ribs, connected between the base plate and the side plates, enhance the structural strength. These reinforcing ribs effectively distribute the load, increasing the frame's resistance to bending and torsion.

[0021] In some embodiments, the drive device is located on the side plate.

[0022] In some embodiments, the drive device is a rotary cylinder or a rotary motor.

[0023] In some embodiments, the number of the driving device, the mounting plate, and the adsorption device are all set to be multiple and correspond one-to-one. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the present invention provides a handling device 10, which includes a frame 100, a drive device 200, a mounting plate 300, and an adsorption device 400. The driving device 200 is disposed on the frame 100; the mounting plate 300 is connected to the driving device 200 and can rotate under the drive of the driving device 200; the adsorption device 400 includes a support plate 410, an elastic element 420, a positioning plate 430, a guide rod 440, and an adsorption assembly 450 connected to the mounting plate 300. The adsorption assembly 450 and the positioning plate 430 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support plate 410. The guide rod 440 is slidably inserted through the support plate 410. One end of the guide rod 440 is connected to the positioning plate 430, and the other end of the guide rod 440 is connected to the adsorption assembly 450. The positioning plate 430 can limit the movement stroke of the guide rod 440. The elastic element 420 abuts against the adsorption assembly 450 and the support plate 410. The adsorption assembly 450 is used to adsorb workpieces. The elastic element 420 may include, but is not limited to, a compression spring.

[0033] The aforementioned handling equipment 10 can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: the adsorption component 450 can adsorb workpieces such as panels, and the drive device 200 provides power so that the mounting plate 300 can drive the support plate 410 and the adsorption component 450 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the workpiece. The drive device 200 can be driven by a rotary cylinder, servo motor, etc., and the rotation speed and direction can be adjusted by the control system to achieve precise handling and flipping of the workpiece. The guide rod 440 is slidably inserted through the support plate 410, with one end connected to the positioning plate 430 and the other end connected to the adsorption component 450. Its sliding design allows the adsorption component 450 to make precise linear movements when adsorbing and releasing workpieces, enhancing the stability and accuracy of operation. The positioning plate 430 is responsible for limiting the movement stroke of the guide rod 440. It ensures that the adsorption component 450 can remain within a predetermined range when adsorbing and releasing workpieces, avoiding damage caused by excessive movement. The elastic element 420 is located between the adsorption component 450 and the support plate 410, and is responsible for providing buffering and support. When the adsorption component 450 just comes into contact with the workpiece, the elastic element 420 can deform appropriately to absorb the impact force received by the adsorption component 450, so as to avoid the adsorption component 450 exerting too much force on the workpiece and causing damage to the workpiece.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the adsorption device 400 further includes a linear bearing 460. A through hole 411 is provided on the support plate 410, and the linear bearing 460 is embedded in the through hole 411. The guide rod 440 is slidably inserted through the linear bearing 460. The through hole 411 on the support plate 410 provides space for the installation of the linear bearing 460, ensuring that the linear bearing 460 can be firmly embedded in the support plate 410. The design of the through hole 411 must take into account the size and positioning of the linear bearing 460 to ensure good fit and stability. The guide rod 440 slides through the linear bearing 460, enabling smoother linear movement. This design reduces friction between the guide rod 440 and the support plate 410, reduces energy loss, and improves the response speed and accuracy of the adsorption assembly 450 during the adsorption and release of workpieces. The introduction of the linear bearing 460 makes the sliding of the guide rod 440 smoother and more precise. The linear bearing 460 can reduce the friction of the guide rod 440 during the movement, improve the movement efficiency, and ensure that the linear movement of the guide rod 440 on the support plate 410 is unimpeded. It also ensures that the guide rod 440 remains stable during the movement, avoiding vibration or deviation caused by excessive friction, thereby improving the safety of the workpiece handling process.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of guide rods 440, linear bearings 460, and through holes 411 are all multiple and correspond one-to-one, and one end of each guide rod 440 is connected to the positioning plate 430. The arrangement of multiple guide rods 440 enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the equipment. The connection of one end of each guide rod 440 to the positioning plate 430 ensures that the adsorption assembly 450 maintains good positioning and support during workpiece adsorption and release, reducing deformation or failure caused by excessive load on a single guide rod 440. The design of each guide rod 440 corresponding to one linear bearing 460 and one through hole 411 allows each guide rod 440 to slide smoothly within its respective linear bearing 460. This configuration ensures the parallelism and stability of the guide rods 440 during movement, avoiding uneven movement caused by mutual interference between the guide rods 440. The design of multiple guide rods 440 disperses the force applied to the adsorption assembly 450, making the equipment more reliable when handling heavy or large workpieces and reducing the risk of structural damage due to concentrated forces. The configuration of multiple guide rods 440 allows the adsorption assembly 450 to distribute pressure more evenly during workpiece adsorption and release, reducing deviations caused by uneven movement of a single guide rod 440 and thus improving operational accuracy.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the adsorption assembly 450 includes a fixed plate 451 and a suction nozzle 452 connected to the fixed plate 451. An elastic member 420 elastically abuts against the fixed plate 451 and the support plate 410. The suction nozzle 452 is located on the side of the fixed plate 451 facing away from the elastic member 420 and is used to adsorb the workpiece. The fixed plate 451, as the main support structure of the adsorption assembly 450, provides a stable foundation. It connects the suction nozzle 452 and interacts with the support plate 410 through the elastic member 420, ensuring the overall stability and functionality of the adsorption assembly 450. The suction nozzle 452, located on the side of the fixed plate 451 facing away from the elastic member 420, is specifically designed for adsorbing workpieces. Its design can be optimized according to the shape and surface characteristics of the workpiece, and flexible materials are typically used to enhance sealing and adsorption effect. The suction nozzle 452 firmly adsorbs the workpiece through negative pressure or vacuum suction, ensuring no slippage occurs during handling. The elastic element 420 is located between the fixed plate 451 and the support plate 410. The buffering effect of the elastic element 420 can effectively reduce the impact on the workpiece during adsorption and release, and reduce the risk of damage to the workpiece surface. It is especially suitable for fragile workpieces or workpieces with high surface requirements.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic element 420 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the guide rod 440. The structure and shape of the guide rod 440 limit the range of motion of the elastic element 420. This design ensures that the elastic element 420 will not fall off or shift during operation, thus maintaining its stable support and cushioning function. Because the guide rod 440 restricts the displacement of the elastic element 420, the elastic element 420 can provide a more effective and uniform support force. This support force can automatically adjust when the load changes, ensuring that the guide rod 440 remains stable during movement and reducing vibration and offset.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of elastic elements 420 corresponds one-to-one with the number of guide rods 440.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the handling equipment 10 further includes a vacuum gauge 500, which is mounted on the frame 100 and used to detect and display the vacuum value. The presence of the vacuum gauge 500 allows operators to adjust the equipment's operating parameters in a timely manner based on the displayed vacuum value, ensuring handling is performed under optimal vacuum conditions and improving operational efficiency. By monitoring the vacuum value in real time, operators can promptly detect abnormalities in the vacuum system, such as vacuum leaks or insufficient vacuum, and take necessary measures.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the handling device 10 further includes a manifold 600, which is disposed on the rack 100 and used for branching or distributing the vacuum source. The manifold 600, which centrally manages the vacuum source, simplifies piping layout, reduces the complexity of pipe connections, thereby reducing the potential risk of leakage and improving system reliability.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 100 includes a base plate 110, side plates 120 connected to the base plate 110, and reinforcing ribs 130 connecting the base plate 110 and the side plates 120. The reinforcing ribs 130 connect the base plate 110 and the side plates 120, serving to enhance structural strength. These reinforcing ribs 130 can effectively distribute the load, increasing the frame 100's resistance to bending and torsion. The drive device 200 is located on the side plate 120, and the drive device 200 can be a rotary cylinder or a rotary motor, etc.

[0042] Specifically, in some embodiments, the number of the driving device 200, the mounting plate 300 and the adsorption device 400 are all set to be multiple and correspond one-to-one.
