[0026] The bracket 8 is configured on both sides of the transmission mechanism 9. The bracket 8 is provided with a slot for mounting the workpiece to improve the stability of the workpiece movement. The transmission mechanism 9 includes a transmission module and a carrier plate. The carrier plate is provided with a clamping block for fixing the workpiece. The carrier plate is driven by the transmission module to move the workpiece sequentially through the inspection station 1 2, the marking station 3, and the inspection station 2 4.

[0027] Loading station 1 is equipped with a loading mechanism to sequentially and individually transfer stacked workpieces to the conveying mechanism 9, which then transports them to inspection station 2. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a limit block 101, a support component 102, a position detection component 103, a servo cylinder 104, and a top plate 105.

[0028] A limit block 101 is provided at the position of the slot corresponding to the bracket 8. The limit block 101 is located at the corner of the workpiece and is used for the snap-fit ​​positioning of the workpiece stacking. The top plate 105 is connected to the telescopic end of the servo cylinder 104. The support component 102 is installed on the bracket 8.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 102 includes a cylinder 1021, a connector 1022, a slide rail 1023, and a support plate 1024. The telescopic end of the cylinder 1021 is connected to the support plate 1024 via the connector 1022. The support plate 1024 is slidably connected to the slide rail 1023. The cylinder 1021 drives the support plate 1024 to reciprocate on the slide rail 1023. The support plate 1024 is used to lift the workpieces stacked and limited by the limiting block 101, so as to avoid affecting the movement of the workpieces on the carrier plate with the transfer module.

[0030] During loading, servo cylinder 104 drives top plate 105 to lift the stacked workpieces. At this time, support plate 1024 is driven by cylinder 1021 to retract, allowing top plate 105 to support the workpieces. Then, after servo cylinder 104 drives top plate 105 to descend by the thickness of one workpiece, cylinder 1021 drives support plate 1024 to extend and lift the remaining workpieces. At this time, clamping blocks on the carrier plate clamp and fix the workpieces on top plate 105, which are then driven by the transmission module to pass sequentially through inspection station 2, marking station 3, and inspection station 4.

[0031] Further, the position detection member 103 of the feeding mechanism is a fiber sensor installed on the bracket 8, which detects whether the workpiece has abnormal protrusions through the fiber sensor, and if there are abnormal protrusions, an alarm is given to remind the staff to handle it in time; if there are no abnormal protrusions, the transmission module drives the workpiece to move normally.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , after the workpiece is fed through the feeding station 1, it successively passes through the detection station one 2, the marking station 3, the detection station two 4 and the discharging station 6.

[0033] The detection station one 2 includes a line scanning detection device 201 for linear scanning visual detection and a light source one 202 for light compensation for the line scanning detection device 201; the detection station one 2 is used for visual detection of the unmarked workpiece to realize visual positioning.

[0034] The marking station 3 includes a laser marking device 301 for laser marking of the workpiece according to actual needs.

[0035] The detection station two 4 includes a visual detection device 401 and a light source two 402 for light compensation for the visual detection device 401. The detection station two 4 is used for visual detection of the marked workpiece to realize detection of characters, sizes and other parameters.

[0036] The detection station two 4 and the discharging station 6 are provided with a material moving device 5. When the detection station two 4 detects that the workpiece marking is unqualified, the material moving device 5 is used to transfer the unqualified workpiece to the waste area 7; when the detection station two 4 detects that the workpiece marking is qualified, the workpiece is normally transported to the discharging station 6 through the transmission module.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the material moving device 5 includes a linear module one 501, a linear module two 502 and a suction cup 503. The suction cup 503 is driven by the linear module one 501 and the linear module two 502 to adsorb and transfer the detected unqualified workpiece to the waste receiving plate 701 of the waste area 7.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 , the discharging station 6 includes a cylinder two 601, a top plate two 602, a clamping mechanism 603 and a limiting block two 604. The top plate two 602 is connected with the telescopic end of the cylinder two 601, the clamping block two 604 is installed on the bracket 8 and is used to limit the corner position of the workpiece. The clamping mechanism 603 is installed on the bracket 8 and is used for workpiece discharging and stacking.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the clamping mechanism 603 includes a housing 6031, a clamping block 6032, a spring 6033 and a rotating shaft 6034. The clamping block 6032 includes a protrusion connected with the rotating shaft 6034 and a platform connected with the spring 6033, the clamping block 6032 is connected with the housing 6031 through the rotating shaft 6034, and the spring 6033 is located inside the housing 6031.

[0040] When discharging, the second cylinder 601 drives the second top plate 602 to move upward to lift the workpieces on the carrier plate. At this time, according to the structural design of the clamping mechanism 603, the clamping block 6032 is flipped upward by the force of moving the workpieces upward. After the second cylinder 601 drives the second top plate 602 to reset, the clamping block 6032 is reset by the elastic force of the spring 6033. At this time, the platform of the clamping block 6032 is located below the workpieces to support the workpieces, thereby achieving the stacking of the workpieces.

[0041] Working principle: the chip TRAY disc marking device, when in use, a plurality of workpieces are stacked at the feeding station 1, and the edges and corners of the workpieces are clamped and positioned by the limiting block one 101. When feeding, the servo cylinder 104 drives the top plate one 105 to lift the stacked workpieces. At this time, the support plate 1024 is driven to retract by the cylinder one 1021, so that the top plate one 105 supports the workpieces. Then, after the servo cylinder 104 drives the top plate one 105 to descend by a height of the thickness of a workpiece, the cylinder one 1021 drives the support plate 1024 to extend to hold the remaining workpieces. At this time, the clamping block on the carrier plate clamps and fixes the workpieces on the top plate one 105. Whether the workpieces have abnormal protrusions is detected by the position detection member 103. If the workpieces have no abnormal protrusions, the workpieces are sequentially conveyed through the detection station one 2, the marking station 3 and the detection station two 4 by the transmission module.

[0042] The detection station one 2 is provided with a line scanning detection device 201 for pre-marking positioning detection. The marking station 3 is provided with a laser marking device 301 for laser marking. The detection station two 4 is provided with a visual detection device 401 for post-marking quality detection. When the detection station two 4 detects that the workpieces are unqualified in marking, the unqualified workpieces are transferred to the waste area 7 by the material moving device 5. When the detection station two 4 detects that the workpieces are qualified in marking, the workpieces are normally conveyed to the discharging station 6 by the transmission module.

[0043] When discharging, the second cylinder 601 drives the second top plate 602 to move upward to lift the workpieces on the carrier plate. At this time, the clamping block 6032 is flipped upward by the force of moving the workpieces upward. After the second cylinder 601 drives the second top plate 602 to reset, the clamping block 6032 is reset by the elastic force of the spring 6033. At this time, the platform of the clamping block 6032 is located below the workpieces to support the workpieces, thereby achieving the stacking of the workpieces.

[0044] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features thereof can be replaced equivalently.
