[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a sorting mechanism 100, which comprises a feeding assembly 10, a clamping assembly 20, a plate moving assembly 30, a moving assembly 40 and a rack 24, and is used for sorting a plurality of workpieces 300. The workpiece 300 can be a mobile phone middle plate, a mobile phone shell or the like.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The feeding assembly 10 is configured to provide a tray 400 carrying a plurality of workpieces 300 to be sorted. The clamping assembly 20 includes a first clamping member 21, a second clamping member 22, and a third clamping member 23. The second clamping member 22 is disposed between the first clamping member 21 and the third clamping member 23, and is configured to clamp the tray 400 carrying the plurality of workpieces 300 to be sorted. The tray moving assembly 30 is disposed at one side of the clamping assembly 20 and is slidable relative to the second clamping member 22. The tray moving assembly 30 is configured to move the tray 400 carrying the workpieces 300 to be sorted to the first clamping member 21 so that the first clamping member 21 clamps the tray 400 carrying the workpieces 300 to be sorted, and to move the tray 400 carrying the workpieces 300 to be sorted to the third clamping member 23 so that the third clamping member 23 clamps the tray 400 carrying the workpieces 300 to be sorted. The workpiece moving assembly 40 is spaced apart from the first clamping member 21. The workpiece moving assembly 40 is configured to sort and exchange the workpieces 300 in the tray 400 clamped by the first clamping member 21 with the workpieces 300 in the tray 400 clamped by the second clamping member 22. The first clamping member 21, the second clamping member 22, the third clamping member 23, the tray moving assembly 30, and the workpiece moving assembly 40 are disposed on the upper surface of the frame 24. For example, the first clamping member 21, the second clamping member 22, and the third clamping member 23 can be any clamping part, clamping body, or similar clamping block capable of clamping the tray 400, such as a clamping jaw connected to a pneumatic cylinder. The clamping jaw clamps the tray 400 under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder. The tray moving assembly 30 can be a tray moving body, tray moving part, or similar tray moving block capable of moving the tray 400 between the first clamping member 21, the second clamping member 22, and the third clamping member 23, such as a carrier plate connected to a belt mechanism. The carrier plate carries the tray 400 and moves the tray 400 between the first clamping member 21, the second clamping member 22, and the third clamping member 23 under the drive of the belt mechanism.

[0067] The working process of the sorting mechanism 100 is as follows:

[0068] First, the feeding assembly 10 provides the tray 400 carrying the plurality of workpieces 300 to be sorted to the second clamping member 22, and the second clamping member 22 clamps the tray 400.

[0069] Then, the tray moving assembly 30 moves to the lower side of the clamped tray 400, the second clamping member 22 releases the tray 400 so that the tray moving assembly 30 supports the tray 400, and the tray moving assembly 30 moves the tray 400 to the first clamping member 21 so that the first clamping member 21 clamps the tray 400.

[0070] Then, the feeding assembly 10 provides another tray 400 carrying multiple workpieces 300 to be sorted to the second gripper 22, so that the second gripper 22 grips the other tray 400, the transfer assembly 40 sorts and exchanges the qualified workpieces 300 in the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21 with the unqualified workpieces 300 in the tray 400 gripped by the second gripper 22, so as to sort all the unqualified workpieces 300 to the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21 and sort all the marked workpieces 300 to the tray 400 gripped by the second gripper 22;

[0071] Finally, after the tray 400 of the second gripper 22 carries all the workpieces 300 to be sorted as qualified workpieces 300, the tray moving assembly 30 moves to the lower side of the tray 400 carrying the sorted workpieces 300, the second gripper 22 releases the tray 400 so that the tray moving assembly 30 supports the tray 400, and then the tray moving assembly 30 drives the tray 400 to the third gripper 23, so that the third gripper 23 grips the tray 400 carrying the sorted workpieces 300.

[0072] In the sorting mechanism 100, the feeding assembly 10 provides a tray 400 carrying multiple workpieces 300, the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 respectively grip the tray 400 carrying multiple workpieces 300, so that the transfer assembly 40 sorts and exchanges the qualified workpieces 300 in the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21 with the unqualified workpieces 300 in the tray 400 gripped by the second gripper 22, so as to sort all the unqualified workpieces 300 to the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21 and sort all the marked workpieces 300 to the tray 400 gripped by the second gripper 22, so that the tray moving assembly 30 moves the tray 400 carrying the sorted workpieces 300 to the third gripper 23 for gripping, thereby realizing rapid sorting of multiple workpieces 300, reducing the labor intensity of personnel, and improving the sorting efficiency of workpieces 300.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 10 includes a conveying member 11, a code scanning member 12, and a jacking member 13. The conveying member 11 is arranged below the second gripper 22 and connected with the rack 24, and is used to convey the tray 400 carrying multiple workpieces 300. The code scanning member 12 is arranged on one side of the conveying member 11 and electrically connected with the transfer assembly 40, and is used to scan the tray 400 to obtain the processing information of the multiple workpieces 300 in the tray 400 and send the processing information to the transfer assembly 40. The jacking member 13 is arranged below the conveying member 11 and corresponds to the second gripper 22, and is used to jack up the tray 400 from the conveying member 11 and move to the second gripper 22. For example, the conveying member 11 can be a conveyor belt, the code scanning member 12 can be a code scanning gun, and the jacking member 13 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0074] Thus, the tray 400 conveyed by the conveying member 11 is scanned by the scanning member 12 to obtain the processing information of the plurality of workpieces 300 in the tray 400, and the processing information of the plurality of workpieces 300 is transmitted to the transfer assembly 40 through the electrical signal, so as to facilitate the transfer assembly 40 to perform the sorting operation on the plurality of workpieces 300 based on the processing information of the plurality of workpieces 300. In addition, the tray 400 is lifted by the lifting member 13 to separate from the conveying member 11, so as to move the tray 400 to the clamping position of the second clamping member 22, and facilitate the second clamping member 22 to clamp the tray 400 provided by the feeding assembly 10 and carrying the plurality of workpieces 300.

[0075] The conveying member 11 has a stop portion (not shown in the figure), the stop portion is movably arranged in the middle of the conveying member 11 and is arranged in the conveying direction of the conveying member 11 and is spaced apart from the lifting member 13, the stop portion is used to extend to stop the tray 400 when the conveying member 11 conveys the tray 400 to the top of the lifting member 13, so as to facilitate the lifting member 13 to lift the tray 400 to the second clamping member 22.

[0076] It should be noted that the surface of the tray 400 is provided with a two-dimensional code, a bar code and the like, and the scanning member 12 obtains the processing information of the workpiece 300 by scanning the tray 400, and the processing information includes the position of the qualified workpiece 300 in the tray 400 and the position of the unqualified workpiece 300 in the tray 400. Among them, the qualified workpiece 300 refers to the workpiece 300 that meets the requirements.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 40 includes a connecting member 41 and a transfer member 42. The connecting member 41 is arranged on the rack 24 and connected with the rack 24, and an active channel 411 is formed between the connecting member 41 and the rack 24, which avoids the tray transfer assembly 30. The transfer member 42 is connected with the connecting member 41, and the transfer member 42 is used to transfer the workpiece 300. For example, the transfer member 42 can be any transfer body, transfer part or similar transfer block capable of transferring the workpiece 300, such as a mechanical hand connected with a gripper, which grasps the workpiece 300 through the gripper and drives the workpiece 300 to move.

[0078] Thus, by arranging the connecting member 41 on the rack 24, the active channel 411 is formed between the connecting member 41 and the rack 24, so as to avoid the active channel 411 from interfering with the tray transfer assembly 30 during the movement of the tray transfer assembly 30 and the tray 400.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the sorting mechanism 100 further comprises a supporting assembly 50 and a collecting assembly 60. The supporting assembly 50 corresponds to the first gripper 21 and is located below the first gripper 21. The supporting assembly 50 is connected to the frame 24 and is used to support the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21. The collecting assembly 60 corresponds to the third gripper 23 and is located below the third gripper 23. The collecting assembly 60 is connected to the frame 24 and is used to support the tray 400 gripped by the third gripper 23.

[0080] Thus, after all the workpieces 300 in the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21 are replaced by the substandard workpieces 300, the first gripper 21 releases the tray 400, so that the supporting assembly 50 supports the tray 400 gripped by the first gripper 21, concentrates the collection of the substandard workpieces 300, and facilitates the timely replenishment of the tray 400 with the workpieces 300 to be sorted to the first gripper 21 by the tray moving assembly 30, so that the sorting mechanism 100 repeats the sorting operation. In addition, by supporting the tray 400 gripped by the third gripper 23 by the collecting assembly 60, the collecting assembly 60 can concentrate the collection of the standard workpieces 300, and avoid the accumulation of the tray 400 with the sorted workpieces 300 on the third gripper 23.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the supporting assembly 50 comprises a lifting member 51, a supporting member 52, and a supporting member 53. The lifting member 51 is spaced apart from the conveying member 11 of the feeding assembly 10 and is located below the first gripper 21. The lifting member 51 is connected to the frame 24. The supporting member 52 is connected to the lifting member 51 and corresponds to the first gripper 21. The supporting member 52 is used to move towards or away from the first gripper 21 under the drive of the lifting member 51. The supporting member 53 is provided on the side of the supporting member 52 facing the first gripper 21 and is slidably connected to the supporting member 52. The supporting member 53 is used to support the tray 400. For example, the lifting member 51 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a servo slide, etc.

[0082] Thus, by driving the supporting member 52 to move the supporting member 53 towards the first gripper 21 by the lifting member 51, the supporting member 53 stably supports the tray 400 released by the first gripper 21, ensuring the supporting stability of the supporting assembly 50. In addition, by slidably connecting the supporting member 53 to the supporting member 52, when the number of trays 400 supported by the supporting member 53 reaches a preset number, the operator or the mechanical hand drives the supporting member 53 to slide relative to the supporting member 52, facilitating the operator or the mechanical hand to take away the concentratedly collected trays 400 and substandard workpieces 300.

[0083] It can be understood that the structures of the supporting assembly 50 and the collecting assembly 60 are substantially the same, and will not be described here.

[0084] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rack 24 is provided with a containing space 241 containing the feeding assembly 10, the supporting assembly 50 and the receiving assembly 60, and a clearance hole 242 penetrating through the rack 24 and communicating with the containing space 241, the clearance hole 242 avoiding the supporting assembly 50 and the receiving assembly 60.

[0085] In this way, the feeding assembly 10, the supporting assembly 50 and the receiving assembly 60 are contained in the containing space 241, so that the clamping assembly 20, the plate moving assembly 30, the plate transferring assembly 40 and the feeding assembly 10 can be reasonably arranged. In addition, the supporting assembly 50 and the receiving assembly 60 are avoided by the clearance hole 242, so that interference between the supporting assembly 50 and the receiving assembly 60 and the rack 24 during supporting the tray 400 is avoided.

[0086] Referring to Figure 5 The embodiments of the present application also provide a sorting device 200, which comprises a feeding mechanism 201, a processing mechanism 202, a feeding and discharging mechanism 203 and the above-described sorting mechanism 100.

[0087] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6, the feeding mechanism 201 is configured to provide a tray 400 with a plurality of workpieces 300 to be processed, the processing mechanism 202 is spaced apart from the feeding mechanism 201, and the processing mechanism 202 is configured to process the workpieces 300 to be processed. The feeding and discharging mechanism 203 includes a conveying assembly 70, a scanning assembly 80, a jacking assembly 90, and a feeding and discharging assembly 110. The conveying assembly 70 is connected to the feeding mechanism 201, and the conveying assembly 70 is configured to receive and convey the tray 400. The scanning assembly 80 is connected to the conveying assembly 70, and the scanning assembly 80 is configured to scan the tray 400 to obtain product information of the tray 400. The jacking assembly 90 is connected to the conveying assembly 70, and the jacking assembly 90 is configured to stop the tray 400 after scanning and jack up the tray 400 to separate the tray 400 from the conveying assembly 70. The feeding and discharging assembly 110 is adjacent to the jacking assembly 90, and the feeding and discharging assembly 110 is configured to move the workpieces 300 between the jacking assembly 90 and the processing mechanism 202 to feed the workpieces 300 to be processed to the processing mechanism 202 and discharge the processed workpieces 300 to the jacking assembly 90. The feeding assembly 10 of the sorting mechanism 100 is connected to the conveying assembly 70, and the sorting mechanism 100 is configured to receive the workpieces 300 and sort the workpieces 300. For example, the processing mechanism 202 can be any processing mechanism, processing body, or similar processing part capable of processing the workpieces 300, such as a processing machine tool. The conveying assembly 70 can be a conveying belt. The scanning assembly 80 can be a code scanning gun. The feeding and discharging assembly 110 can be any feeding and discharging mechanism, feeding and discharging block, or similar feeding and discharging part capable of moving the workpieces 300, such as a mechanical hand connected with a gripper. The mechanical hand holds the workpieces 300 through the gripper and moves the workpieces 300.

[0088] The working process of the sorting device 200 is as follows:

[0089] First, the feeding mechanism 201 provides the tray 400 with a plurality of workpieces 300 to be processed to the conveying assembly 70. The scanning assembly scans the tray 400 to obtain product information of the tray 400. The jacking assembly 90 stops the tray 400 after scanning and jacks up the tray 400 to separate the tray 400 from the conveying assembly 70. The feeding and discharging assembly 110 moves the workpieces 300 to be processed to the processing mechanism 202 for processing and moves the processed workpieces 300 to the tray 400 jacked up by the jacking assembly 90 to complete the feeding and discharging operation of the workpieces 300. The jacking assembly 90 lowers the tray 400 with the processed workpieces 300 to the conveying assembly 70, and the conveying assembly 70 conveys the tray 400 with the processed workpieces 300 to the conveying member 11.

[0090] Then, the conveying member 11 conveys the tray 400 with multiple workpieces 300 to be sorted and processed to the jacking member 13, the code scanning member 12 scans the tray 400 during the conveying member 11 conveying the tray 400 to obtain the processing information of the workpieces 300 in the tray 400, the jacking member 13 jacks up the scanned tray 400 to the second clamping member 22, so that the second clamping member 22 clamps the jacked-up tray 400, the tray moving assembly 30 moves to the lower side of the clamped tray 400, the second clamping member 22 releases the tray 400 so that the tray moving assembly 30 supports the tray 400, and the tray moving assembly 30 drives the tray 400 to the first clamping member 21, so that the first clamping member 21 clamps the tray 400;

[0091] Then, the jacking member 13 jacks up another scanned tray 400 to the second clamping member 22, so that the second clamping member 22 clamps the other tray 400, and the tray moving assembly 40 sorts and exchanges the workpieces 300 that meet the standard in the tray 400 clamped by the first clamping member 21 and the workpieces 300 that do not meet the standard in the tray 400 clamped by the second clamping member 22 based on the scanning detection information of the code scanning member 12, so as to realize that all the workpieces 300 that do not meet the standard are sorted into the tray 400 clamped by the first clamping member 21, and all the workpieces 300 that meet the standard are sorted into the tray 400 clamped by the second clamping member 22.

[0092] Finally, after the workpieces 300 carried by the tray 400 of the second clamping member 22 are all sorted into workpieces 300 that meet the standard, the tray moving assembly 30 moves to the lower side of the tray 400 with the sorted workpieces 300, the second clamping member 22 releases the tray 400 so that the tray moving assembly 30 supports the tray 400, and the tray moving assembly 30 drives the tray 400 to the third clamping member 23, so that the third clamping member 23 clamps the tray 400 with the sorted workpieces 300, thereby quickly completing the feeding and sorting of the workpieces 300, reducing the labor intensity of personnel, and improving the sorting efficiency.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 5 In the embodiment, the number of the processing mechanisms 202 and the feeding and discharging mechanisms 203 is multiple, the multiple processing mechanisms 202 are arranged at intervals, the multiple feeding and discharging mechanisms 203 correspond to the multiple processing mechanisms 202 one by one, the transmission assemblies 70 of the adjacent two feeding and discharging mechanisms 203 are connected, one end of the feeding and discharging mechanism 203 is connected with the feeding mechanism 201, and the other end of the feeding and discharging mechanism 203 is connected with the sorting mechanism 100. In this way, by arranging multiple processing mechanisms 202 and multiple feeding and discharging mechanisms 203, the feeding and discharging efficiency can be improved.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 7In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 201 comprises a feeding assembly 120 and a rotating assembly 130. The feeding assembly 120 is arranged at a side of the conveying assembly 70 and is used to carry a plurality of trays 400. The rotating assembly 130 is arranged at a side of the conveying assembly 70 and is connected with the feeding assembly 120. The rotating assembly 130 is used to receive a single tray 400 provided by the feeding assembly 120 in sequence and rotate the tray 400 to a preset orientation so that the conveying assembly 70 receives the tray 400.

[0095] In this way, the plurality of trays 400 are layered by the feeding assembly 120, and a single tray 400 can be provided in sequence. The feeding mechanism 201 avoids the situation that the upper tray 400 blocks the workpieces 300 carried by the lower tray 400 when the stacked trays 400 are conveyed, and is beneficial to ensure the subsequent processing, feeding and sorting of the workpieces 300. In addition, due to the limited installation space in the sorting device 200, the feeding assembly 120 and the conveying assembly 70 cannot be directly connected. By arranging the rotating assembly 130, the rotating assembly 130 can receive a single tray 400 and rotate the tray 400 to a preset orientation, and then stably convey the single tray 400 to the conveying assembly 70, thereby realizing the automatic feeding function of the feeding mechanism 201.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 120 comprises a transmission member 121, a pushing member 122, a supporting member 123 and a fourth clamping member 124. The transmission member 121 is arranged at a side of the rotating assembly 130 and is used to transmit a single tray 400 to the rotating assembly 130. The pushing member 122 is movably arranged in the transmission member 121 and is used to carry a plurality of trays 400 and move the plurality of trays 400 close to the transmission member 121. The supporting member 123 is movably arranged in the pushing member 122 and is used to receive the plurality of trays 400 moving close to the transmission member 121 and support the plurality of trays 400 to a preset height. The fourth clamping member 124 is connected with the transmission member 121 and is used to clamp the tray 400 adjacent to the lowermost tray 400 so that the supporting member 123 places the lowermost tray 400 on the transmission member 121. For example, the transmission member 121 can be a conveying belt, the pushing member 122 can be a cylinder connected with a carrying block, the carrying block carries the tray 400 and moves close to or away from the transmission member 121 under the driving of the cylinder, the pushing member 122 can be a linear cylinder, and the fourth clamping member 124 has substantially the same structure as the first clamping member 21 and can clamp the tray 400.

[0097] First, the plurality of trays 400 are stacked on the pushing member 122, the pushing member 122 carries the plurality of trays 400 and drives the plurality of trays 400 to move close to the transmission member 121, then the receiving member 123 receives the plurality of trays 400 moving close to the transmission member, to support the plurality of trays 400 to a preset height, finally the fourth clamping member 124 is inserted between the lowermost tray 400 and the tray adjacent to it and clamps the tray adjacent to the lowermost tray 400, and the pushing member 122 drives the lowermost tray 400 to fall back to the transmission member 121, so that the transmission member 121 transmits a single tray 400 to the rotating assembly 130. In this way, by receiving the plurality of trays 400 by the pushing member 122 and supporting the plurality of trays 400 to a preset height, the fourth clamping member 124 can clamp the tray adjacent to the lowermost tray 400, so that the pushing member 122 drives the lowermost tray 400 to fall back to the transmission member 121, realizing the function of providing a single tray 400 in turn.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 130 includes a conveying member 131, a stop member 132, a limiting member 133 and a rotating member 134. The conveying member 131 is arranged on one side of the feeding assembly 120, used to receive a single tray 400, the stop member 132 is arranged on one end of the conveying member 131 away from the transmission assembly 70, used to stop the tray 400, the limiting member 133 is arranged on one end of the conveying member 131 adjacent to the transmission assembly 70, the limiting member 133 is used to limit the two sides of the tray 400 with the stop member 132. The conveying member 131, the stop member 132 and the limiting member 133 are all arranged on the rotating member 134, the rotating member 134 is used to drive the conveying member 131 and the tray 400 to rotate to a preset orientation, so that the conveying member 131 transmits the tray 400 to the transmission assembly 70. Exemplarily, the conveying member 131 can be a conveying belt, the stop member 132 and the limiting member 133 can be air cylinders, and the rotating member 134 can be a rotating part, a rotating body or the like, such as a transmission mechanism composed of a linear air cylinder, a rack, a gear and a support plate. The linear air cylinder drives the rack to drive the gear to rotate, so that the gear drives the support plate to rotate, so that the support plate drives the conveying member 131 and the tray 400 to rotate to a preset orientation.

[0099] In this way, by abutting the two sides of the tray 400 with the stop member 132 and the limiting member 133, the tray 400 is limited to avoid deviation of the tray 400 during rotation of the rotating member 134, thereby ensuring that the rotating member 134 drives the conveying member 131 and the tray 400 to rotate to a preset orientation. The stop member 132 and the limiting member 133 are released from the tray 400 after rotation, so that the conveying member 131 transmits the tray 400 rotated to the transmission assembly 70, realizing the functions of rotating and transmitting the tray 400 of the rotating assembly 130.

[0100] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the jacking assembly 90 comprises a stopper 91, a pusher 92, a fifth gripper 93 and a positioning member 94. The stopper 91 is movably arranged on the conveying assembly 70 and is spaced apart from the scanning assembly 80 along the direction in which the conveying assembly 70 conveys the tray 400. The stopper 91 is used to stop the tray 400. The pusher 92 is spaced apart from the stopper 91. The pusher 92 is used to push the stopped tray 400 away from the conveying assembly 70. The fifth gripper 93 is connected to the conveying assembly 70. The fifth gripper 93 is used to clamp and fix the tray 400. The positioning member 94 is spaced apart from the fifth gripper 93 and is connected to the conveying assembly 70. The positioning member 94 is used to position the workpiece 300 to be processed. Exemplarily, the stopper 91 and the pusher 92 can be air cylinders. The fifth gripper 93 has substantially the same structure as the first gripper 21 and can clamp the tray 400. The positioning member 94 can be a positioning block, a positioning part or a similar positioning plate that is adapted to the workpiece 300.

[0101] In this way, by arranging the stopper 91 to be spaced apart from the scanning assembly 80 along the direction in which the conveying assembly 70 conveys the tray 400, the stopper 91 can stop the tray 400 after the tray 400 is scanned. The pusher 92 can then jack up the tray 400 to push it away from the conveying assembly 70, so as to facilitate the feeding and discharging assembly 110 to perform the feeding and discharging operation. At the same time, the pusher 92 pushes the tray 400 away from the conveying assembly 70, so as to form a clearance between the tray 400 and the conveying assembly 70. This facilitates the tray 400 conveyed by the other feeding and discharging mechanism 203 to be conveyed to the sorting mechanism 100 through the clearance. In addition, by clamping the tray 400 away from the conveying assembly 70 with the fifth gripper 93, the tray 400 can be kept in a stable state under the clamping of the fifth gripper 93, so as to avoid shaking of the tray 400 during the feeding and discharging process. Furthermore, by arranging the above-mentioned positioning member 94, the feeding and discharging assembly 110 first moves the workpiece 300 to be processed to the positioning member 94. The positioning member 94 then positions the workpiece 300 to be processed. This facilitates the feeding and discharging assembly 110 to accurately place the positioned workpiece 300 on the processing station of the processing mechanism 202, so as to enable the processing mechanism 202 to accurately process the workpiece 300.
