The detection module is arranged on the first conveying structure.
[0005] In one embodiment, the first conveying structure conveys the workpiece in a first direction. Along the first direction, the first conveying structure and the second conveying structure are arranged above the conveying device and form a first exposed opening.

In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and therefore the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] In the description of the application, it should be understood that, if there are these terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the application.
[0026] In addition, if there are these terms "first", "second", these terms are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the application, if the term "multiple" appears, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0027] In this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, if there are terms such as "mounting", "connecting", "connecting", "fixing" and the like, these terms should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise explicitly limited. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] In this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, if there are similar descriptions such as "first feature on" or "below" the second feature, the meaning can be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium.

[0029] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a production equipment 10 for inspecting workpieces 20 and classifying them according to the inspection results to screen out defective workpieces 20 that do not meet requirements. The production equipment 10 includes a transport device 12 and an inspection device 13, with the inspection device 13 mounted on the transport device 12. Because the inspection device 13 is mounted on the transport device 12, it can easily pick up the workpieces 20 transported by the transport device 12 and return the workpieces 20 that meet the requirements to the transport device 12. Furthermore, since the inspection device 13 is mounted on the transport device 12, its sorting process is independent of the transport process of the transport device 12 and will not affect the transport of the transport device 12. Therefore, when the inspection device 13 malfunctions, the transport device 12 can continue to transport normally, avoiding production line shutdown and reducing the negative impact on the production efficiency of the production equipment 10.
[0031] Please see Figures 2 to 4 An embodiment of the present application provides a detection device 13 including a conveying component 100 and a transfer component 200. The conveying component 100 is mounted above a transport device 12. The conveying component 100 includes a first conveying structure 110 and a second conveying structure 120, which are arranged sequentially along the direction of conveying workpieces 20 from the transport device 12 (i.e., the first direction S1 mentioned below). The directions of conveying workpieces 20 of the first conveying structure 110 and the second conveying structure 120 intersect, and the first conveying structure 110 and the transport device 12 convey workpieces 20 to the same side and in parallel conveying directions. The transfer component 200 includes a first transfer structure 210 and a second transfer structure 220. The first transfer structure 210 is used to transfer workpieces 20 from the transport device 12 to the first conveying structure 110, and the second transfer structure 220 is used to transfer workpieces 20 to the second conveying structure 120 or the transport device 12 to achieve sorting of workpieces 20.
[0032] The detection module 400 is arranged on the first conveying structure 110, so that the workpieces 20 conveyed by the first conveying structure 110 can be detected, thereby providing a basis for sorting. The second transfer structure 220 can sort the workpieces 20 from the first conveying structure 110 to the second conveying structure 120 and the conveying device 12, so as to realize sorting. The conveying component 100 is arranged above the conveying device 12, the transfer component 200 transfers the workpieces 20 conveyed by the conveying device 12 to the conveying component 100, and puts part of the workpieces 20 back to the conveying device 12 during sorting. That is, the conveying device 12 is used for conveying the workpieces 20 before and after sorting, and the conveying component 100 is arranged above the conveying device 12, and the conveying component 100 and the detection module 400 arranged on the conveying component 100 do not interfere with the conveying of the workpieces 20 on the conveying device 12. Therefore, when the detection device 13 fails, the workpieces 20 conveyed by the conveying device 12 can not be sorted, and continuous conveying can be realized by directly passing through the position of the detection device 13, so that the production line does not stop, thereby relatively improving the production efficiency. In short, the conveying component 100 is arranged above the conveying device 12, so that the process of detecting the workpieces 20 by the detection device 13 and the process of sorting the workpieces 20 are relatively independent of the process of conveying the workpieces 20 by the conveying device 12, so as to reduce the probability that the workpieces 20 need to be stopped for conveying due to the failure of the detection device 13, and improve the production efficiency.
[0033] Further, since the conveying device 12 is used for conveying the workpieces 20 before and after sorting, it is not necessary to additionally arrange other product conveying lines, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the production equipment 10 and reducing the space occupied by the production equipment 10.
[0034] Further, since the detection device 13 provided by the application has a certain independence from the conveying device 12, the detection device 13 can be installed on the conveying device 12 as an external expansion device, so that the conveying device 12 is expanded to have a detection function and a sorting function based on the detection result. In short, the detection device 13 provided by the application has independence from the conveying device 12, so that the application of the detection device 13 has a certain flexibility. For example, for the production line already put into production and use in the prior art, if the detection device 13 needs to be added, it is often necessary to stop the machine and make large-scale modification to the original production line, which affects production and increases modification cost. However, for the detection device 13 provided by the application, since most of the structures can be arranged above the original production line, it is not necessary to stop the machine for large-scale modification to the original production line, which has little effect on production activities and reduces the modification cost, thereby ensuring the production efficiency.
[0035] It should be noted that in the first aspect, the detection module 400 is arranged on the first conveying structure 110, and the second transfer structure 220 is used to transfer the workpiece 20 from the first conveying structure 110 to the second conveying structure 120 and the conveying device 12, so it can be known that in the overall conveying path of the workpiece 20, the first conveying structure 110 is located at a relatively upstream position, and the second conveying structure 120 is located at a relatively downstream position. In the second aspect, the present application does not limit whether the workpiece 20 transferred by the second transfer structure 220 to the conveying device 12 is a good product or a defective product, and can be flexibly set according to actual needs. However, in order to facilitate understanding and description, the second transfer structure 220 will be taken as an example to put the good product back to the conveying device 12 and transfer the defective product to the second conveying structure 120 for description.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the conveying component 100 has a first exposed opening 101, a second exposed opening 102 and a third exposed opening 103, and the conveying device 12 is exposed to the conveying component 100 through the first exposed opening 101, the second exposed opening 102 and the third exposed opening 103, so as to facilitate the transfer component 200 to pick up the workpiece 20 conveyed by the conveying device 12, and facilitate the transfer component 200 to put the workpiece 20 back to the conveying device 12.
[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first conveying structure 110 conveys the workpiece 20 along the first direction S1. Since the first conveying structure 110 and the conveying device 12 convey the workpiece 20 to the same side and the conveying directions are parallel, the conveying device 12 also conveys the workpiece 20 along the first direction S1. Along the first direction S1, the first conveying structure 110 and the second conveying structure 120 are spaced apart and arranged above the conveying device 12 to form the first exposed opening 101, and the first exposed opening 101 is used to expose the conveying device 12. The second transfer structure 220 is used to transfer the workpiece 20 to the conveying device 12 through the first exposed opening 101. It is easy to understand that since the conveying component 100 is arranged above the conveying device 12, the conveying component 100 will shield the conveying device 12 to some extent, so by setting the first exposed opening 101, the good workpiece 20 can be conveniently put back to the conveying device 12, so that the conveying device 12 can continue to convey the workpiece 20 to the next station.
[0038] For the conveying device 12, various automatic conveying devices can be used for conveying, such as transmission belt conveying, speed-up chain conveying and linear guide rail conveying. Further, for some workpieces 20 with precise structure, easy to be damaged or high surface precision requirement (such as battery pack), the conveying device 12 can be provided with a plurality of carrier plates 14 for carrying the workpiece 20, so as to reduce the risk of damage to the workpiece 20 during conveying. Please refer to Figures 2 to 4In one embodiment, the second exposure opening 102 is configured to expose the transport device 12 as previously described. In the first direction S1, the second exposure opening 102 is located on the side of the second conveying structure 120 that is distal to the first conveying structure 110, i.e. the second exposure opening 102 is located at a position that is relatively downstream of the overall conveying path of the workpieces 20 with respect to the second conveying structure 120. The transfer member 200 further comprises a replenishment structure 230, which has a footprint that projects onto the plane of the second exposure opening 102 and is located within the second exposure opening 102. The replenishment structure 230 is configured to pick up or deposit a workpiece 20 from or to the transport device 12 via the second exposure opening 102, so as to adjust the number of workpieces 20 on each carrier 14.
[0039] For example, the carrier 14 can carry two workpieces 20. The first transfer structure 210 can pick up the workpieces 20 conveyed by the transport device 12 via the third exposure opening 103 and transfer them to the first conveying structure 110. That is, when the carrier 14 moves to the third exposure opening 103, both workpieces 20 on the carrier 14 are transferred to the first conveying structure 110 for detection by the detection module 400. The second transfer structure 220 will transfer the good workpieces among the two workpieces 20 back to the carrier 14 via the first exposure opening 101 and transfer the defective workpieces among the two workpieces 20 to the second conveying structure 120 according to the detection result. Thus, there can be a carrier 14 with only one workpiece 20 at the second exposure opening 102. The replenishment structure 230 can pick up the workpiece 20 on the carrier 14 and wait for another carrier 14 with only one workpiece 20 to move to the second exposure opening 102. At this time, the replenishment structure 230 can deposit the picked-up workpiece 20 on the other carrier 14 with only one workpiece 20, so that each carrier 14 is either empty or fully loaded. In this way, it is convenient to uniformly process the fully loaded carriers 14 subsequently.
[0040] Regarding the process of transferring the workpiece 20 to another carrier 14 by the replenishment structure 230, a brief description is as follows: after the replenishment structure 230 picks up a workpiece 20, when another carrier 14 with only one workpiece 20 moves to the second exposure opening 102, the replenishment structure 230 deposits the picked-up workpiece 20 on the carrier 14, so that the carrier 14 is fully loaded with two workpieces 20.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3In one embodiment, the second conveying structure 120 conveys the workpiece 20 along a second direction S2, which is perpendicular to the first direction S1. In this way, on one hand, the obstruction to the transportation device 12 is reduced. On the other hand, the second direction S2 is perpendicular to the first direction S1, and thus the second conveying structure 120 can convey the workpiece 20 to the side of the transportation device 12, which has sufficient space to arrange the processing device to further process the workpiece 20 conveyed by the second conveying structure 120. In short, in this way, the space beside the transportation device 12 can be reasonably utilized.
[0042] For further reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the detection device 13 comprises a support structure 300, which is arranged on the base 16 of the transportation device 12. The support structure 300 comprises a first support 310 and a second support 320, the first conveying structure 110 is arranged on the first support 310, and the second conveying structure 120 is arranged on the second support 320. The first support 310 and the second support 320 are spaced apart along the first direction S1 to form the first exposure opening 101. The first conveying structure 110 is supported by the first support 310, and the second conveying structure 120 is supported by the second support 320, so that the first conveying structure 110 and the second conveying structure 120 are relatively independent of the transportation device 12.
[0043] Regarding the transportation device 12 and the detection device 13, as mentioned above, the detection device 13 can be installed on the transportation device 12 as an external expansion module, so that the application of the detection device 13 has higher flexibility. However, when the detection device 13 is applied to different sizes and different types of transportation devices 12, different corresponding installation positions are required to accurately transfer the workpiece 20 to the designated position on the first conveying structure 110, which leads to high requirements for the alignment of the detection device 13 during installation. To reduce the alignment requirements of the detection device 13 during installation, one embodiment of the present application can also be provided with the first transfer structure 210, which can adjust the position of the workpiece 20 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction S1 (i.e., the second direction S2), so that the transferred workpiece 20 can be accurately positioned at the expected position on the first conveying structure 110.
[0044] For further reference Figure 5 The first transfer structure 210 comprises a first connecting frame 211 and a first pickup 212, and the first pickup 212 is used to pick up the workpiece 20. The first pickup 212 is slidably arranged on the first connecting frame 211 along the second direction S2, which is perpendicular to the direction in which the transportation device 12 and the first conveying structure 110 convey the workpiece 20 (i.e., the first direction S1). In this way, the first pickup 212 can move the workpiece 20 along the second direction S2, and thus the transportation device 12 and the first conveying structure 110 do not need to be strictly aligned in the first direction S1.
[0045] Referring to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the carrier 14 can be used to carry two workpieces 20, and the number of the first pickers 212 can be two, which are used to pick the workpieces 20 carried by the same carrier 14 to realize unified transfer. The two first pickers 212 can be independently slid along the second direction S2 to respectively adjust the positions of the two workpieces 20 picked. It is easy to understand that although the carrier 14 can be used to position the workpieces 20, the workpieces 20 carried by the same carrier 14 can have different offsets during movement with the carrier 14 based on vibration or movement to a corner. Therefore, the present application adjusts the positions of the two workpieces 20 by the two first pickers 212 respectively, so that the two workpieces 20 can be accurately transferred to the specified positions on the first conveying structure 110.
[0046] Referring to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the transfer component 200 includes a first stand 240 arranged on the first table 310. The first stand 240 is provided with a first sliding rail 241 extending along the first direction S1 and a first sliding table 242 in sliding cooperation with the first sliding rail 241. The first transfer structure 210 includes a first driver (not shown in the figure, the same below) arranged on the first stand 240. A first connecting frame 211 is in sliding cooperation with the first sliding rail 241, and the first driver drives the first connecting frame 211 to slide along the first sliding rail 241 (i.e. along the first direction S1). Further, the first transfer structure 210 further includes a first transverse movement driver 213 and a first lifting driver 214. The first transverse movement driver 213 is connected between the first picker 212 and the first connecting frame 211 to drive the first picker 212 to move along the second direction S2. The first connecting frame 211 is arranged on the first sliding table 242 to be in sliding cooperation with the first sliding rail 241 through the first sliding table 242. The first lifting driver 214 is connected between the first connecting frame 211 and the first sliding table 242 to drive the first connecting frame 211 to lift along the third direction S3. The third direction S3 is perpendicular to the first direction S1 and the second direction S2. The first transverse movement driver 213 and the first lifting driver 214 can be configured as a screw-nut type driver, a pneumatic cylinder type driver or a hydraulic cylinder type driver, etc.
[0047] The "above" in the conveying component 100 in each embodiment arranged above the transportation device 12 means above in the third direction S3.
[0048] Referring to Figure 3In one embodiment, the transport device 12 can further be provided with a track structure 15 arranged to extend along the first direction S1. The carrier plate 14 is provided on the track structure 15, and the track structure 15 is capable of driving the carrier plate 14 to move along the first direction S1. Further, the number of the track structures 15 can be plural, and the number of the first conveying structures 110 and the number of the first transfer structures 210 correspond to the number of the track structures 15. Since the first transfer structure 210 is capable of driving the workpiece 20 to move along the second direction S2, even if each of the first conveying structures 110 and each of the track structures 15 are not strictly aligned, the first transfer structure 210 can correspondingly transfer the workpiece 20 conveyed by the track structure 15 to a designated position on the first conveying structure 110.
[0049] It is easy to understand that when the number of the track structures 15 is plural, the number of the second transfer structures 220 and the number of the replenishment structures 230 can also be plural to correspond to the number of the track structures 15. In one embodiment, the number of the second conveying structures 120 can also be plural, and the plural second conveying structures 120 can be arranged side by side along the second direction S2 to convey different types of defective workpieces 20. Further, the number of the track structures 15, the number of the first conveying structures 110, the number of the first stands 240, the number of the first transfer structures 210, the number of the second conveying structures 120, the number of the second transfer structures 220 and the number of the replenishment structures 230 can all be two. The two track structures 15 extend along the first direction S1 and are arranged side by side. The two first conveying structures 110 are arranged above the two track structures 15. The two first stands 240 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction S2, and the two first transfer structures 210 are arranged on the two first stands 240. The two second conveying structures 120 are arranged above the transport device 12.
[0050] Regarding the second transfer structure 220, the second transfer structure 220 can directly place the workpiece 20 back to the transport device 12 from the first conveying structure 110 according to the detection result of the detection module 400, and transfer the workpiece 20 from the first conveying structure 110 to the second conveying structure 120. Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the second transfer structure 220 includes a first transfer hand 220a and a second transfer hand 220b, the first transfer hand 220a is configured to transfer the workpiece 20 from the first conveying structure 110 to the carrier 14 exposed through the first exposure opening 101, and the second transfer hand 220b is configured to sort the workpiece 20 from the carrier 14 exposed through the first exposure opening 101 to the second conveying structure 120. For example, the first transfer hand 220a transfers all the workpieces 20 on the lower side of the first conveying structure 110 to the carrier 14, and the second transfer hand 220b transfers the workpiece 20 determined as a defective product to the second conveying structure 120 according to the detection result, thereby achieving sorting. The workpiece 20 determined as a good product is still placed on the carrier 14 and conveyed by the transport device 12. In this way, the transfer operation of the second transfer structure 220 is divided into two steps, which reduces the movement stroke of a single transfer hand and improves the transfer efficiency.
[0051] Referring to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the transfer component 200 includes a second stand 250, the second stand 250 is provided with a second sliding rail 251 extending along the first direction S1, and the replenishment structure 230, the first transfer hand 220a and the second transfer hand 220b are movably arranged on the second sliding rail 251 along the first direction S1. For example, Figure 3 In each embodiment, in the first aspect, since the first conveying structure 110 and the second conveying structure 120 are arranged along the first direction S1 in sequence and are spaced apart to form the first exposure opening 101, the movement of the first transfer hand 220a and the movement of the second transfer hand 220b are both achieved along the first direction S1, so that both of them can be configured to cooperate with the second sliding rail 251, thereby simplifying the structure. In the second aspect, the first conveying structure 110 and the transport device 12 both convey the workpiece 20 along the first direction S1, that is, the workpieces 20 conveyed by the two are arranged along the first direction S1 in sequence, so that the workpieces 20 carried on the same carrier 14 are also generally arranged along the first direction S1, so as to facilitate simultaneous picking up by the plurality of first picking elements 212. Therefore, the movement of the replenishment structure 230 along the first direction S1 can conveniently pick up the workpieces 20 on the carrier 14 and replenish the workpieces 20 on the carrier 14. At the same time, the replenishment structure 230, the first transfer hand 220a and the second transfer hand 220b all move along the first direction S1, so that all of them can be configured to slide with the second sliding rail 251, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the production equipment 10.
[0052] Further, the second stand 250 can be arranged on the second table 320. Similarly, the number of the second stand 250 can be two, and the two second stands 250 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction S2. The two second transfer structures 220 are arranged on the two second stands 250 in correspondence, and the two replenishment structures 230 are also arranged on the two second stands 250 in correspondence.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first transfer structure 210 is configured to transfer the workpiece 20 transported by the transport device 12 to the first conveying structure 110, and the first transfer hand 220a is configured to transfer the workpiece 20 transported by the first conveying structure 110 to the transport device 12. Therefore, the first transfer hand 220a and the first transfer structure 210 have similar functions and similar transfer actions, and thus can have the same structure. Further, the first transfer hand 220a can include a second driver (not shown in the figure), a second transverse movement driver 223, a second connecting frame 221, and a second pickup 222. The second connecting frame 221 is in sliding cooperation with the second slide rail 251, and the second driver is configured to drive the second connecting frame 221 to slide along the second slide rail 251. The second transverse movement driver 223 is connected between the second pickup 222 and the second connecting frame 221, and the second pickup 222 is slidably arranged in the second connecting frame 221 along the second direction S2. The second transverse movement driver 223 is connected with the second pickup 222 to drive the second pickup 222 to move along the second direction S2, so as to adjust the position of the workpiece 20. The second pickup 222 can also be multiple, and the multiple second pickups 222 can move along the second direction S2 independently to adjust the position of the workpiece 20 independently.
[0054] In order to meet the requirements of detection and conveying convenience, the workpiece 20 usually has a fixed placement posture on the transport device 12 and the conveying component 100. For example, as shown in Figure 3 For the workpiece 20 which is approximately a cuboid, the long side of the workpiece 20 can be directed forward, so that more workpieces 20 can be placed in the limited space in the first direction S1, thereby improving the conveying efficiency. Since the second conveying structure 120 and the first conveying structure 110 convey the workpiece 20 in intersecting directions, in one embodiment, the second transfer hand 220b is further configured to adjust the placement posture of the workpiece 20, so that the workpiece 20 has a fixed placement posture relative to the placed conveying element. For example, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second transfer hand 220b includes a third connecting frame 225 and a third pickup 226, and the third pickup 226 is configured to pick up the workpiece 20. The third pickup 226 is rotatably arranged in the third connecting frame 225, and is configured to adjust the placement posture of the workpiece 20. For example, when the workpiece 20 is transferred to the second conveying structure 120, the third pickup 226 adjusts the workpiece 20 from the posture along the first direction S1 to the posture along the second direction S2.
[0055] Further, the third connecting frame 225 is in sliding cooperation with the second slide rail 251. The second transfer hand 220b comprises a third driver (not shown, same below) connected with the third connecting frame 225 to drive the third connecting frame 225 to slide along the second slide rail 251, and a rotary driver 227 connected between the third pickup 226 and the third connecting frame 225 to drive the third pickup 226 to rotate relative to the third connecting frame 225 about the rotation axis O to adjust the posture of the workpiece 20. The rotation angle of the third connecting frame 225 can be adaptively adjusted according to the included angle between the first direction S1 and the second direction S2, for example, when the first direction S1 and the second direction S2 are perpendicular, the rotation angle of the third connecting frame 225 can be 90°.
[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the second stand 250 is provided with a second slide 252, a third slide 253 and a fourth slide 254, which are respectively in sliding cooperation with the first slide rail 241.
[0057] The first transfer hand 220a comprises a second lifting driver 224 connected between the second connecting frame 221 and the second slide 252 to drive the second connecting frame 221 to lift along the third direction S3 to facilitate the second pickup 222 to pick up and place the workpiece 20. The second driver is connected with the second slide 252 to drive the second slide 252 to drive the second connecting frame 221 to slide along the first direction S1.
[0058] The second transfer hand 220b comprises a third lifting driver 228 connected between the third connecting frame 225 and the third slide 253 to drive the third connecting frame 225 to lift along the third direction S3 to facilitate the third pickup 226 to pick up and place the workpiece 20. The third driver is connected with the third slide 253 to drive the third slide 253 to drive the third connecting frame 225 to slide along the first direction S1.
[0059] The feeding structure 230 comprises a fourth driver (not shown in the figure, the same below), a fourth connecting frame 231, a fourth pickup 232, and a fourth lifting driver 233. The fourth pickup 232 is arranged on the fourth connecting frame 231 and used to pick up the workpiece 20. The fourth lifting driver 233 is connected between the fourth sliding table 254 and the fourth connecting frame 231, and is used to drive the fourth connecting frame 231 to lift along the third direction S3. In addition, the fourth connecting frame 231 is in sliding fit with the second sliding rail 251 through the fourth sliding table 254, and the fourth driver drives the fourth sliding table 254 to slide along the first direction S1, so as to drive the fourth connecting frame 231 to slide along the first direction S1. The orthographic projection of the feeding structure 230 on the surface where the second exposure opening 102 is located refers to the orthographic projection of the feeding structure 230 on the surface where the second exposure opening 102 is located along the third direction S3.
[0060] It should be noted that the manner in which the first conveying structure 110, the second conveying structure 120, and the conveying device 12 convey the workpiece 20 is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application, and a suitable conveying manner can be selected according to actual conveying requirements, such as a conveyor belt conveying, a multiple-speed chain conveying, and a linear guide rail conveying.
