[0032] A tray transfer device, comprising a rack 10, wherein the rack 10 is provided with:

[0033] A Z-axis mechanism 20, wherein the Z-axis mechanism 20 comprises a Z-axis sliding rail 21 arranged on the rack 10, a Z-axis sliding seat 22 in sliding cooperation with the Z-axis sliding rail 21 and a Z-axis driving assembly 23 for driving the Z-axis sliding seat 22 to slide along the Z-axis sliding rail 21.

[0035] An X-axis mechanism 40, wherein the X-axis mechanism 40 is arranged on the Y-axis sliding seat 32, the X-axis mechanism 40 comprises an X-axis conveying line 41 arranged along the X-axis, and one end of the X-axis conveying line 41 is provided with a liftable limiting assembly 42.

[0036] The rack 10 forms the framework of the whole device support and connection, the Z-axis mechanism 20 is adjustable in the Z-axis direction, realizes the adjustment function in the Z-axis direction, specifically, the Z-axis driving assembly 23 drives the Z-axis sliding seat 22 to reciprocate along the Z-axis sliding rail 21.

[0037] The Z-axis driving assembly 23 comprises a screw lifter 231, a Z-axis driving motor 233 driving the screw lifter 231, and the Z-axis sliding seat 22 is driven by the screw lifter 231. The screw lifter 231 adopts an existing design, and its principle and structure are not described here. The screw lifter 231 is arranged at the top end of the rack 10, extends vertically downward, and the Z-axis sliding seat 22 is arranged below the screw lifter 231. Specifically, the number of the screw lifters 231 is two, which are arranged on the two sides of the rack 10, respectively. The input shafts of the two screw lifters 231 are connected by a connecting rod 232, and the Z-axis driving motor 233 drives the two screw lifters 231 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 232. In order to make the whole device more stable, two supporting rods 11 are arranged at the top end of the rack 10, respectively, and the two screw lifters 231 are connected and fixed with the two supporting rods 11, respectively.

[0038] The Z-axis sliding seat 22 is in a frame shape, and the middle parts of the opposite sides of the Z-axis sliding seat 22 are connected with the screws of the two screw lifters 231, respectively. The rack 10 corresponds to the two sides of the two screw lifters 231, and the Z-axis sliding rails 21 are arranged on the two sides of the rack 10, respectively. The Z-axis sliding seat 22 is in a rectangular frame shape, and the middle parts of the opposite sides of the Z-axis sliding seat 22 are connected with the screws of the two screw lifters 231, respectively. The four corner positions of the Z-axis sliding seat 22 correspond to the four Z-axis sliding rails 21, respectively, and are in sliding fit with the four Z-axis sliding rails 21. This structure design is simple, stable, and not too complicated and heavy, has high bearing capacity, and moves stably.

[0039] The Y-axis mechanism 30 is adjustable in the Y-axis direction to realize the adjustment function in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the Y-axis driving assembly 33 drives the Y-axis sliding seat 32 to move back and forth along the Y-axis sliding rail 31. The Y-axis sliding rail 31 is arranged on the Z-axis sliding seat 22, and when the Z-axis sliding seat 22 moves, the whole Y-axis mechanism 30 moves along the Z-axis.

[0040] The Y-axis driving assembly 33 comprises a Y-axis motor 331 and a Y-axis screw 332 driven by the Y-axis motor 331. The X-axis mechanism 40 is driven by the Y-axis screw 332. The Y-axis sliding rail 31 is arranged on the two side frames of the Z-axis sliding seat 22, and the Y-axis screw 332 is arranged between the two Y-axis sliding rails 31. The Y-axis motor 331 drives the Y-axis screw 332 to move, thereby driving the Z-axis mechanism 20 to move along the Y-axis.

[0041] The X-axis mechanism 40 is adjustable in the X-axis direction to realize the adjustment function in the X-axis direction. Specifically, the supporting surface of the X-axis conveying line 41 is the supporting surface of the tray, and the X-axis conveying line 41 drives the tray to move back and forth along the X-axis. In addition, the X-axis mechanism 40 is arranged on the Y-axis sliding seat 32, and the Y-axis mechanism 30 is arranged on the Z-axis sliding seat 22. When the Z-axis mechanism 20 and the Y-axis mechanism 30 move, the X-axis conveying line 41 (carrying the tray) of the X-axis mechanism 40 moves along the Z-axis or the Y-axis, so that the tray-carrying transfer device moves back and forth in the XYZ three directions to realize flexible adjustment in different positions, so that the tray can be docked with the tray of the previous process in any position in the stroke range of the transfer device, and the tray can also be conveyed to the next process in the stroke range.

[0042] The X-axis conveying line 41 is a chain conveying mechanism, and the bottom end is provided with a Y-axis sliding seat 32 that cooperates with the Y-axis sliding rail 31 to slide. The X-axis conveying line 41 of the X-axis mechanism 40 is connected to the output mechanism of the previous process. When the tray is output from the previous process into the X-axis conveying line 41, the limiting assembly 42 limits the tray to avoid the tray from moving too far in the X-axis direction and falling off.

[0043] The limiting assembly 42 includes a proximity switch 421, a limiting block 422, and a limiting cylinder 423 that drives the limiting block 422 to rise. The limiting cylinder 423 drives the limiting block 422 to rise above the supporting surface of the X-axis conveying line 41. The limiting assembly 42 is arranged on the discharge side of the X-axis conveying line 41. When the tray is output from the previous process into the X-axis conveying line 41, the limiting cylinder 423 drives the limiting block 422 to rise to limit the tray when the proximity switch 421 detects that the tray has moved into position. When the transfer device adjusts the position of the tray for the next process, the limiting cylinder 423 drives the limiting block 422 to descend below the supporting surface of the X-axis conveying line 41, and the tray moves over the limiting block 422 into the next process along with the X-axis conveying line 41.

[0044] In this embodiment, the rack 10 is provided with a tray recycling mechanism 50 arranged along the X-axis at the bottom. The tray recycling mechanism 50 corresponds to a chain conveying mechanism, which is a link in the entire tray recycling conveying process, and is connected to the tray recycling mechanism 50 of the previous and subsequent processes to form a complete tray recycling mechanism 50.

[0045] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
