[0028] As shown in Figs. 1-3 A transfer device, comprising a mounting frame 1;
[0029] A moving assembly 2, the mounting frame 1 is arranged on the moving assembly 2, and the moving assembly 2 is used to drive the mounting frame 1 to move;
[0030] A suction assembly 3 movably arranged on the mounting frame 1, the suction assembly 3 is used to suck the workpiece 4;
[0031] And / or, a clamping assembly 5 arranged on the mounting frame 1, the clamping assembly 5 is used to clamp the workpiece 4.
[0032] The transfer device of the present application is particularly suitable for moving the workpiece 4 of the plate type, such as the core plate of the circuit board or the hot melting plate. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be applied to other types of workpieces 4.
[0033] Specifically, the transfer device in the present embodiment comprises a mounting frame 1, which is used to mount various components or other structures of the transfer device, and the mounting frame 1 is mounted on the moving assembly 2, which can drive the mounting frame 1 to move freely along the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and the like. The suction assembly 3 on the mounting frame 1 can suck and fix the workpiece 4, and the clamping assembly 5 can clamp and fix the workpiece 4. In actual use, a single core plate can be sucked and fixed by the suction assembly 3 alone, or the workpiece 4 can be clamped by the clamping assembly 5, or the suction assembly 3 and the clamping assembly 5 can be operated simultaneously to suck and clamp the hot melting plate (usually composed of PP plate, core plate and PP plate), so as to prevent the hot melting plate from shaking during movement and transportation, so that the layers of the hot melting plate are not easily dispersed, and the quality of the hot melting plate is ensured. Whether the suction assembly 3 and the clamping assembly 5 operate or not is mainly selected according to different types of workpieces 4, so that the transfer device has the above-mentioned multiple use scenarios and wider application range.
[0034] Further, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a lifting slide 11, the suction assembly 3 is arranged on the lifting slide 11, and the lifting slide 11 is used to drive the suction assembly 3 to move up and down.
[0035] As Figs. 1-2 shown in the embodiment, the suction assembly 3 is installed on the lifting slide 11, and the suction assembly 3 is driven downward by the lifting slide 11 to suck the workpiece 4. After the workpiece 4 is fixed by suction, the suction assembly 3 is driven upward by the lifting slide 11 to the position where the clamping assembly 5 can clamp the workpiece 4. The clamping assembly 5 is detachably installed on the mounting frame 1, and its position is fixed. After the workpiece 4 is clamped by the clamping assembly 5, the entire workpiece 4 is basically in a stable and non-shaking state, which meets the characteristics that the hot melt plate cannot be moved (shaken) violently during slight combination / overlap.
[0036] Further, the suction assembly 3 is further provided with a first detection device 31 for detecting the moving position of the suction assembly 3.
[0037] The first detection device 31 comprises a proximity sensor 311 and a pressing block 312. The proximity sensor 311 is electrically connected with the pressing block 312. When the pressing block 312 contacts the workpiece 4, the proximity sensor 311 sends a detection signal, and the lifting slide 11 stops moving in response to the detection signal.
[0038] The lifting slide 11 drives the suction assembly 3 to descend to the position of the workpiece 4, at which time the suction assembly 3 contacts the workpiece 4 to perform adsorption. In order to avoid the lifting slide 11 driving the suction assembly 3 to move to a position that is too high or too low, the first detection device 31 is arranged on the suction assembly 3. The first detection device 31 comprises the proximity sensor 311 and the pressing block 312. When the pressing block 312 contacts the workpiece 4, the proximity sensor 311 sends an instruction. After the lifting slide 11 receives the instruction, it stops moving. The suction assembly 3 contacts the workpiece 4 and performs adsorption and fixation, preventing the lifting slide 11 from continuing to descend and causing the suction assembly 3 to collide with the workpiece 4.
[0039] Further, the workpiece 4 is a plate, and the clamping assembly 5 is further provided with a second detection device 51. The second detection device 51 is used to detect the thickness of the plate to obtain whether the plate is single or multiple.
[0040] In the embodiment, the second detection device 51 is also arranged on the clamping assembly 5. When the ultrasonic pulse emitted by the probe of the second detection device 51 reaches the material interface through the measured object, the pulse is reflected back to the probe, and the thickness of the measured material is determined by accurately measuring the time of ultrasonic propagation in the material, so as to detect whether the sucked plate material is a single-layer core plate (small thickness) or a multi-layer spliced hot melt plate (much larger thickness). After the second detection device 51 detects the thickness of the plate material, whether the clamping assembly 5 operates is controlled according to the above two situations. The single-layer core plate can be fixed by the suction assembly 3 only, and the multi-layer spliced hot melt plate needs to be fixed by the suction assembly 3 and the clamping assembly 5 simultaneously.
[0041] Further, the clamping assembly 5 is provided with a telescopic member 52, and the second detection device 51 is arranged on the telescopic member 52.
[0042] When the lifting slide 11 drives the suction assembly 3 and the workpiece 4 to ascend, in order to avoid collision of the second detection device 51 and the workpiece 4 on the clamping assembly 5, the telescopic member 52 is further arranged on the clamping assembly 5. The telescopic member 52 drives the second detection device 51 to move when it is extended or retracted. Specifically, when the suction assembly 3 and the workpiece 4 ascend, the telescopic member 52 is extended to drive the second detection device 51 to move forward, so that the ultrasonic sensor will not be hit by the suction assembly 3 and the workpiece 4. When the suction assembly 3 ascends to the preset height, the telescopic member 52 is retracted to drive the ultrasonic sensor to move backward, and the thickness of the workpiece 4 sucked by the suction assembly 3 is detected by the second detection device 51.
[0043] The basic action flow of the transfer device for sucking single core plate in the scheme is as follows:
[0044] ①The user places the core plate at the specified position of the feeding station, the lifting slide 11 drives the suction assembly 3 to descend, the first detection device 31 on the suction assembly 3 is triggered, the proximity sensor 311 sends a detection signal after the pressing block 312 contacts the workpiece 4, the lifting slide 11 stops moving in response to the detection signal, and the vacuum suction cup 34 sucks the core plate under negative pressure;
[0045] ②The lifting slide 11 ascends to the horizontal moving position, the telescopic member 52 (ultrasonic sensing air cylinder) is retracted, the second detection device 51 (ultrasonic sensor) detects whether the sucked core plate is single, and confirms that the sucked core plate is single, and then the moving assembly drives the core plate to horizontally move from the feeding station to the correction table station;
[0046] ③The lifting slide 11 descends to the position where the core plate contacts the correction table panel, the vacuum suction cup 34 releases the core plate under the condition of broken vacuum, the lifting slide 11 ascends to the horizontal moving position, and the transfer device horizontally moves back to the initial feeding station;
[0047] Further, the clamping assembly 5 comprises mounting arms 53, rotating driving members 54 and clamping portions 55, the mounting arms 53 are arranged on the mounting frame 1, at least one rotating driving member 54 is arranged on each mounting arm 53, and the output end of each rotating driving member 54 is provided with the clamping portion 55, the rotating driving member 54 is used to drive the clamping portion 55 to rotate, so that the clamping portion 55 after rotation clamps the bottom of the workpiece 4.
[0048] As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 In the embodiment, the clamping assembly 5 is composed of mounting arms 53, rotating driving members 54 and clamping portions 55, the rotating driving members 54 are detachably arranged on the mounting arms 53, the rotating driving members 54 on the mounting arms 53 can drive the clamping portions 55 to rotate, when the suction assembly 3 and the workpiece 4 rise, the clamping portions 55 rotate to a position not colliding with the plate, when the lifting slide 11 stops moving, the rotating driving members 54 again drive the clamping portions 55 to rotate, so that the clamping portions 55 after rotation clamp the bottom surface (i.e. the lower surface) of the workpiece 4, and the upper surface of the workpiece 4 is sucked and fixed by the suction assembly 3, the two assemblies jointly act to make the workpiece 4 basically in a stable state during movement. In the embodiment, two, three or more rotating driving members 54 and clamping portions 55 can be arranged on the mounting arms 53, in this way, the four corners of the workpiece 4, or the edge positions of the workpiece 4 can be clamped, further improving the stability during clamping.
[0049] The basic action flow of the transfer device for sucking and clamping the hot melt plate is as follows:
[0050] ①After the user places the hot melt plate at the specified position of the feeding station, the lifting slide 11 drives the suction assembly 3 to descend, the first detection device 31 on the suction assembly 3 triggers, the proximity sensor 311 sends a detection signal after the pressing block 312 contacts the workpiece 4, the lifting slide 11 stops moving, and the vacuum suction cup 34 sucks the hot melt plate at the melting point position under negative pressure;
[0051] ②The lifting slide 11 rises to the horizontal moving position, the four rotating driving members 54 (rotary clamping cylinders) of the clamping assembly 5 rotate and retract, so that the clamping portions 55 clamp the melting point positions of the four corners of the hot melt plate, and the moving assembly drives the hot melt plate to horizontally move from the feeding station to the correction table station;
[0052] ③The four rotating driving members 54 of the clamping assembly 5 rotate and extend, releasing the four corners of the hot melt plate, the lifting slide 11 descends to the position where the hot melt plate contacts the correction table panel, the vacuum suction cup 34 breaks the vacuum and lowers the hot melt plate, the lifting slide 11 rises to the horizontal moving position, and the transfer device horizontally moves back to the initial feeding station.
[0053] In other embodiments, the clamping assembly 5 can also be a mechanical hand or the like structure, which can clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the plate.
[0054] Furthermore, the clamping part 55 includes a first side 551 and a second side 552 connected end to end, and the first side 551 and the second side 552 form the clamping part 55 with an L-shaped cross-section.
[0055] like Fig. 3 As shown, when the clamping part 55 is L-shaped, less material is needed to manufacture it, which avoids excessively increasing the weight of the clamping assembly 5, and the clamping area of the clamping part 55 is also larger, which can keep the clamped workpiece 4 stable. In other embodiments, the clamping part 55 can also be a single piece of quadrilateral or other shapes.
[0056] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with two mounting arms 53, and the clamping assembly 5 also includes a connecting arm 56, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the two mounting arms 53.
[0057] Typically, two mounting arms 53 are installed on the mounting frame 1. The two mounting arms 53 are located directly above the workpiece 4 near both sides. Since the mounting arms 53 are installed horizontally and suspended when mounted on the mounting frame 1, they may wobble if they are too long. In order to ensure the stability of the workpiece 4 such as the hot melt plate when it moves, the two mounting arms 53 are connected by a connecting arm 56, which makes the connection between the two mounting arms 53 more stable and reduces the wobbling of the mounting arms 53.
[0058] Furthermore, the suction assembly 3 includes a fixing part 32, a mounting rod 33, and suction cups 34. The fixing part 32 is disposed on the lifting slide 11, the mounting rod 33 is detachably disposed on the fixing part 32, and a plurality of suction cups 34 are spaced apart on the mounting rod 33.
[0059] The suction cups 34 of the suction component 3 are usually vacuum suction cups 34. The vacuum suction cups 34 are connected to the vacuum equipment to adsorb and fix the workpiece 4. The suction cups 34 are mounted on the mounting rod 33. The mounting rod 33 is connected to the lifting slide 11 through the fixing part 32 and moves up and down with the lifting slide 11.
[0060] Furthermore, the fixing part 32 is provided with at least two mounting rods 33, and each mounting rod 33 is provided with a plurality of suction cups 34.
[0061] In this embodiment, two mounting rods 33 are typically provided. During suction, the two mounting rods 33 are located directly above the two sides of the workpiece 4, which can better adsorb and fix the workpiece 4. Each mounting rod 33 is provided with multiple suction cups 34, which are distributed at intervals along the length of the mounting rod 33. For example, three sets of suction cups 34 can be provided on one mounting rod 33, and each set of suction cups 34 includes five suction cups 34, which can stably adsorb the workpiece 4.
[0062] In other embodiments, the mounting rods 33 can also be increased, for example, one or two groups of mounting rods 33 can be arranged at the middle part of the fixing part 32, in this way, the workpiece 4 has more suction positions, and the workpiece 4 has better fixing effect.
