The connecting assembly 42 is connected to the turnover driving member 41, and the turnover gripper 43 is connected to the end of the connecting assembly 42 away from the turnover driving member 41. The turnover driving member 41 drives the turnover gripper 43 to turn over through the connecting assembly 42, so as to grasp the workpiece 200 on the positioning mechanism 30 and turn over the workpiece 200, so that the downward surface of the workpiece 200 is turned over to the upward surface. The turnover driving member 41 can be a rotary air cylinder or the like. The turnover driving member 41 can drive the turnover gripper 43 to rotate through the connecting assembly 42.

[0027] The processing mechanism 50 is arranged adjacent to the material feeding mechanism 10, and is used to process the upward surface of the workpiece 200 after being turned over. The processing mechanism 50 can be a dispensing machine, a welding machine, or other processing devices, which are not limited here. In this embodiment, the processing mechanism 50 can also detect the workpiece 200 after processing, to identify whether the workpiece 200 after processing is qualified, so as to avoid the unqualified workpiece 200 from flowing into the next process, thereby affecting the production yield.

[0028] The processing equipment 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can store and supply the unprocessed workpiece 200 through the feeding mechanism 10, take the workpiece 200 from the feeding mechanism 10 through the material moving mechanism 20, and place the workpiece 200 on the positioning seat 31 of the positioning mechanism 30, and the workpiece 200 can be positioned through the cooperation of the positioning seat 31 and the plurality of positioning pieces 32 of the positioning mechanism 30. The overturning driving piece 41 of the overturning mechanism 40 can drive the overturning gripper 43 to rotate to the positioning mechanism 30 through the connecting assembly 42 to grab the workpiece 200, and drive the workpiece 200 to overturn through the connecting assembly 42 and the overturning gripper 43, so that the downward surface of the workpiece 200 is overturned to be upward. Then the material moving mechanism 20 can grab the workpiece 200 overturned by the overturning gripper 43, and place the overturned workpiece 200 on the processing mechanism 50 to process the surface of the workpiece 200 overturned upward, and the material moving mechanism 20 can also transfer the workpiece 200 processed from the processing mechanism 50 to the feeding mechanism 10 to collect and store the workpiece 200 processed. The above-mentioned processing equipment 100 can automatically overturn the workpiece 200 and automatically process, thereby improving the degree of automation, reducing the labor intensity of the operating personnel, and improving the production yield.

[0029] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the connecting assembly 42 comprises a rotating rod 421, an overturning arm 422 and a plurality of first locking pieces 423, the rotating rod 421 is connected to the overturning driving piece 41, the overturning arm 422 is connected to the rotating rod 421 perpendicularly, a plurality of first connecting holes 4221 are formed on one end of the overturning arm 422 away from the rotating rod 421, and each first locking piece 423 is detachably installed in the first connecting hole 4221. The rotating rod 421 and the overturning arm 422 can both be plate-shaped structures, which are beneficial to improve the stability of the connection between the rotating rod 421 and the overturning arm 422, the number of the first connecting holes 4221 on the overturning arm 422 can be nine, twelve, eighteen or the like, and the plurality of first connecting holes 4221 can be arranged in a matrix manner. The first locking piece 423 can be a bolt or the like, and the number of the first locking pieces 423 can be two, three, four or the like. The first locking piece 423 can be selectively connected to the matching first connecting hole 4221 from the plurality of first connecting holes 4221 according to the size requirements of the actual workpiece.

[0030] The turnover gripper 43 comprises a plurality of connecting members 431 and a plurality of suction heads 432 in one-to-one correspondence, each connecting member 431 is provided with a second connecting hole 4311 matched with the first connecting hole 4221, the first locking member 423 penetrates the first connecting hole 4221 and the second connecting hole 4311 to connect the turnover arm 422 and the connecting member 431, each connecting member 431 can rotate around the axis of the corresponding first locking member 423, the first locking member 423 can lock the connecting member 431 and the turnover arm 422, each suction head 432 is connected to one end of the corresponding connecting member 431 away from the first connecting hole 4221, and the suction head 432 is used for adsorbing the workpiece 200. The connecting member 431 can be a plate structure, and the suction head 432 can be connected with an external air extraction device (not shown in the figure), so that the suction head 432 can generate negative pressure to adsorb the workpiece 200. The number of connecting members 431 and suction heads 432 is in one-to-one correspondence, and can be two, three, four or the like, so that the plurality of suction heads 432 can stably adsorb the workpiece 200, which is not limited here.

[0031] It can be understood that the first locking member 423 can penetrate one of the first connecting holes 4221 and the second connecting hole 4311 on the connecting member 431, thereby connecting the turnover arm 422 and the connecting member 431, so that the position of the connecting member 431 connected to the turnover arm 422 is adjustable, and after the first locking member 423 penetrates the first connecting hole 4221 and the second connecting hole 4311, the connecting member 431 can rotate around the first locking member 423, thereby driving the suction head 432 to rotate, and after rotating to the appropriate position, the connecting member 431 and the turnover arm 422 are locked by the first locking member 423. Therefore, the position of the suction head 432 is freely adjustable, which can better adapt to the difference in surface shape or adsorption point position of different workpieces 200, ensure that the suction head 432 can be accurately positioned to the appropriate adsorption position on the workpiece 200, thereby enhancing the grabbing ability of different workpieces 200 and improving the compatibility of the entire turnover mechanism 40 to various workpieces 200.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2Each connecting piece 431 is provided with a first adjusting hole 4312 at an end away from the second connecting hole 4311, and the suction head 432 is adjustably connected with the connecting piece 431 through the first adjusting hole 4312. The first adjusting hole 4312 can be a strip-shaped hole, and the suction head 432 can be inserted into the corresponding first adjusting hole 4312. When the position of the suction head 432 connected with the connecting piece 431 needs to be adjusted for adsorbing workpieces 200 of different sizes, the suction head 432 can be moved in the first adjusting hole 4312. By providing the first adjusting hole 4312, the adjustability of the position of the suction head 432 is further improved, so that the processing equipment 100 does not need to specially customize the turnover gripper 43 for each type of workpiece 200. A same set of turnover mechanisms 40 only needs to simply adjust the position of the suction head 432 on the connecting piece 431, and can adapt to the grasping requirements of different workpieces 200, thereby significantly enhancing the versatility of the equipment for different workpieces 200.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the connecting assembly 42 further includes a plurality of second locking pieces 424, the rotating rod 421 is provided with a plurality of third connecting holes 4211 at an end away from the turnover driving piece 41, the turnover arm 422 is provided with a plurality of second adjusting holes 4222 at an end connected with the rotating rod 421, and the plurality of second locking pieces 424 are used to penetrate through the third connecting holes 4211 and the second adjusting holes 4222 to adjustably connect the rotating rod 421 and the turnover arm 422. The second locking piece 424 can be a bolt or the like, and the number of the second locking pieces 424 can be two, three, four, etc. The number of the third connecting holes 4211 can be four, six, eight, etc., and the plurality of third connecting holes 4211 can be arranged in an array. The second adjusting hole 4222 can be a strip-shaped hole, and the number of the second adjusting holes 4222 can be two, three, etc., and the plurality of second adjusting holes 4222 are arranged in parallel.

[0034] Through the cooperation of the second locking piece 424, the third connecting hole 4211 and the second adjusting hole 4222, the relative position between the rotating rod 421 and the turnover arm 422 can be adjusted, so that the turnover arm 422 can change the connection position with the rotating rod 421 within a certain range according to the specific size, shape and placement position of the workpiece 200 on the positioning mechanism 30, etc. The adjustable connection mode can adjust the length of the force arm between the turnover arm 422 and the rotating rod 421. In different machining tasks, according to the mechanical requirements such as the weight and gravity center position of the workpiece 200, the length of the force arm can be optimized by adjusting the connection position between the turnover arm 422 and the rotating rod 421, so that the torque output by the turnover driving piece 41 can be more effectively transmitted to the turnover gripper 43, the energy loss and unnecessary mechanical stress are reduced, the working efficiency and mechanical life of the turnover mechanism 40 are improved, and the stability and accuracy of the turnover process are also helped to be ensured.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The turnover mechanism 40 further comprises two buffers 44 arranged on opposite sides of the rotating rod 421 and connected to the support frame 60 at intervals, so that the buffers 44 abut against the turnover arm 422 after the turnover arm 422 is turned over. It can be understood that when turned to the limit position, the buffers 44 can effectively absorb and dissipate the kinetic energy of the turnover arm 422, play a buffering role, avoid deformation and damage of the turnover arm 422 due to hard impact, and prolong the service life of the turnover arm 422 and the entire turnover mechanism 40. The buffers 44 provide stable resistance when the turnover arm 422 is turned to the position, so that the turnover arm 422 can be accurately stopped at the preset position, ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of the turnover action. By arranging the buffers 44, the phenomenon that the workpiece 200 is displaced due to too fast stopping of the turnover arm 422 can also be avoided.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The workpiece 200 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 201, and the plurality of positioning members 32 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of positioning holes 201. An end of the positioning member 32 away from the positioning seat 31 is provided with a guide surface 321 for guiding the positioning member 32 to be inserted into the positioning hole 201. The one-to-one correspondence design of the plurality of positioning holes 201 and the positioning member 32 enables the workpiece 200 to be accurately positioned when placed on the positioning seat 31 according to the cooperation of the positioning hole 201 and the positioning member 32. The guide surface 321 can be an inclined surface, a conical surface, etc. The guide surface 321 of the positioning member 32 can guide the positioning member 32 to be smoothly inserted into the positioning hole 201 during the placement of the workpiece 200. Even if the workpiece 200 has a certain positional deviation or angular deviation when initially placed, the guide surface 321 can gradually correct the position of the workpiece 200, so that the workpiece 200 is automatically adjusted to the correct positioning posture, further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of positioning, reducing the requirement for the accuracy of placing the workpiece 200, and improving the production efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The workpiece 200 is further provided with a special-shaped hole 202, and the positioning mechanism 30 further comprises a special-shaped positioning member 33 arranged on the positioning seat 31 and matched with the special-shaped hole 202. The special-shaped positioning member 33 is used for positioning the workpiece 200 by being inserted into the special-shaped hole 202. By arranging the special-shaped positioning member 33, the workpiece 200 can be positioned in cooperation with the special-shaped hole 202 on the workpiece 200. The special-shaped positioning member 33 is matched with the special-shaped hole 202 and can be accurately embedded in the special-shaped hole 202 to constrain the workpiece 200 from multiple directions, effectively preventing the workpiece 200 from being displaced, rotated or inclined during the machining process.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 andFigure 2 The positioning mechanism 30 further comprises a sensor 34 connected to the positioning seat 31 and arranged on the side of the positioning seat 31 facing the workpiece 200 for sensing the workpiece 200 on the positioning seat 31. The sensor 34 can be a proximity switch or the like. By arranging the sensor 34, it can be detected whether the workpiece 200 is placed on the positioning seat 31 or whether the workpiece 200 is placed in the proper position, so as to avoid the turnover mechanism 40 and the material moving mechanism 20 running empty due to the absence of the workpiece 200 on the positioning seat 31, thereby increasing the production cost. It can also avoid the turnover mechanism 40 damaging the workpiece 200 due to poor positioning of the workpiece 200 or the workpiece 200 falling due to the workpiece 200 not being firmly gripped by the turnover gripper 43.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 10 comprises a feeding tray 11, a collecting tray 12 and a waste tray 13. The feeding tray 11 is used to provide the unprocessed workpiece 200, the collecting tray 12 is used to collect the processed workpiece 200, and the waste tray 13 is used to collect the workpiece 200 that fails to be processed. The feeding tray 11 is specially used to provide the unprocessed workpiece 200, which ensures the stable and orderly input of raw materials of the processing equipment 100, so that the production process can continue. The collecting tray 12 is used to collect the processed workpiece 200, which facilitates the centralized arrangement, packaging and subsequent processing of the finished product. The waste tray 13 can timely collect the waste generated by the processing failure, so as to avoid the waste from being accumulated in the processing area, thereby affecting the normal production operation and working environment. This classification management method makes the flow of the workpiece 200 in the entire production process more clear and orderly, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of the management of the workpiece 200.

[0040] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding tray 11 can also be used for collecting. After the material moving mechanism 20 takes away the unprocessed workpiece 200 in the feeding tray 11, the processed workpiece 200 can be placed in the empty position of the feeding tray 11.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The material moving mechanism 20 comprises a material moving driving member 21 and a material moving gripper 22. The material moving driving member 21 is arranged close to the feeding mechanism 10 and the processing mechanism 50. The material moving gripper 22 is connected to the material moving driving member 21. The material moving driving member 21 is used to drive the material moving gripper 22 to move. The material moving gripper 22 is used to grab the workpiece 200. The material moving driving member 21 can be a mechanical arm or the like. The material moving gripper 22 can be a suction cup type gripper, which is convenient for taking materials. In the embodiment, two material moving grippers 22 can be arranged. One is used to grab the unprocessed workpiece 200. The other is used to grab the processed workpiece 200 in the processing mechanism 50. In this way, after the processed workpiece 200 is taken, the unprocessed workpiece 200 can be directly placed in the processing mechanism 50, which can improve the processing efficiency.

[0042] The working process of the processing equipment 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0043] Firstly, the material moving driving member 21 drives the material moving gripper 22 to grab the unprocessed workpiece 200 from the feeding disc 11 and place the workpiece 200 on the positioning mechanism 30. The plurality of positioning members 32 and the special-shaped positioning member 33 in the positioning mechanism 30 position the workpiece 200. The inductor 34 detects whether the workpiece 200 is placed and whether the position of the workpiece 200 is correct.

[0044] After the workpiece 200 is placed on the positioning mechanism 30 and the position is correct, the overturning driving member 41 of the overturning mechanism 40 drives the overturning gripper 43 to rotate to the positioning mechanism 30 through the connecting assembly 42 and grabs the workpiece 200. Then the overturning driving member 41 drives the workpiece 200 to overturn 180° through the connecting assembly 42 and the overturning gripper 43, so that the downward surface of the workpiece 200 is turned upward. The material moving driving member 21 drives the material moving gripper 22 to grab the workpiece 200 on the overturning gripper 43 and place the workpiece 200 on the processing mechanism 50. The processing mechanism 50 processes the workpiece 200 and detects the workpiece 200 after the processing is completed.

[0045] Then, the material moving driving member 21 drives the material moving gripper 22 to take out the processed workpiece 200 from the processing mechanism 50 and place the workpiece 200 on the material collecting disc 12. If the processed workpiece 200 is a defective product, the material moving gripper 22 places the workpiece 200 on the waste disc 13.
