[0002] Currently, most material processing is done using CNC machine tools. When it's necessary to place unprocessed materials into the processing equipment and retrieve processed materials, robots and material racks are typically installed outside the equipment. The robot first retrieves the unprocessed material from the rack and places it into the processing equipment. After the equipment finishes processing the material, the robot retrieves it and returns it to the rack. However, robots and material racks are expensive, and their external location requires a significant floor space. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a processing equipment to reduce costs and floor space.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a processing device 1000 for processing material 300. Material 300 can be the mid-frame or bottom shell of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets. For ease of understanding, this application uses the bottom shell of a mobile phone as an example for illustration; however, this is not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0026] In this embodiment, the processing equipment 1000 includes an exchange mechanism 100, a machine base 400, a spindle moving platform 500, and a fixture 600.

[0027] The machine tool 400 includes a support frame 410 and a motion platform 420, with the motion platform 420 located on the support frame 410.

[0028] The clamp 600 is supported on the motion platform 420 and is used to clamp the material 300 for processing.

[0029] The main spindle moving platform 500 is mounted on the support frame 410 and slides up and down.

[0030] The exchange mechanism 100 includes a support component 10 and an exchange component 20. The support component 10 is located on the motion platform 420 and on one side of the fixture 600, and is used to support and position the material 300. The exchange component 20 includes a connecting frame 21, a drive component 22, and a gripper 23. The connecting frame 21 is connected to the spindle moving platform 500 and moves under the drive of the spindle moving platform 500. The drive component 22 can be a telescopic cylinder and is located on the connecting frame 21. The gripper 23 is connected to the drive component 22. The motion platform 420 moves the fixture 600 and the support component 10 to below the gripper 23, so that the drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to place the material 300 to be processed onto the fixture 600 or to place the processed material 300 onto the support component 10.

[0031] During the processing of material 300 by the processing equipment 1000, the bearing assembly 10 carries both the material 300 to be processed and the processed material 300. The exchange assembly 20 moves under the drive of the spindle moving platform 500. The drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to move the material 300 to be processed from the bearing assembly 10 to the fixture 600. After the processing equipment 1000 processes the material 300, the drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to move the processed material 300 back onto the bearing assembly 10. Because the exchange assembly 20 moves under the drive of the spindle moving platform 500, the complex drive structure is reduced. Furthermore, both the bearing assembly 10 and the exchange assembly 20 are located inside the processing equipment 1000, resulting in small size, low material cost, and no external space occupation, thereby reducing costs and floor space.

[0032] In this embodiment, the processing equipment 1000 further includes a spindle 700 and a cutting tool 800. The spindle 700 is disposed on the spindle moving platform 420 and located on one side of the exchange assembly 20, and the cutting tool 800 is mounted on the spindle 700. The spindle moving platform 420 drives the spindle 700 to move towards the fixture 600 so that the cutting tool 800 can process the material 300 or the gripper 23 can grasp the material 300.

[0033] In this embodiment, the motion platform 420 drives the fixture 600 and the carrying component 10 to move along the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and the spindle moving platform 500 drives the spindle 700 and the exchange component 20 to move along the Z-axis direction. During the processing of material 300 by the processing equipment 1000, the motion platform 420 drives the carrying component 10 to move below the gripper 23, and the spindle moving platform 500 drives the drive component 22 to move through the connecting frame 21. The drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to remove the material 300 to be processed from the carrying component 10. Then, the motion platform 420 drives the fixture 600 to move below the gripper 23, and the drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to place the material 300 to be processed onto the fixture 600. After the spindle 700 drives the tool 800 to process the material 300, the motion platform 420 drives the fixture 600 to move below the gripper 23. The drive unit 22 drives the gripper 23 to remove the processed material 300 from the support assembly 10. Then, the motion platform 420 drives the support assembly 10 to move below the gripper 23, and the drive unit 22 drives the gripper 23 to place the processed material 300 onto the support assembly 10.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the supporting assembly 10 includes a supporting base 11 and a positioning member 12. The supporting base 11 is disposed on the motion platform 420 and is used to support the material 300; the positioning member 12 is inserted into the supporting base 11 and is used to insert and position the material 300. Thus, the supporting assembly 10 has a simple structure and is conducive to improving the accuracy of positioning the material 300.

[0035] In this embodiment, the support base 11 includes a base plate 111, a support plate 112, and a plurality of support rods 113. The base plate 111 is disposed on the motion platform 420 of the machine tool 400. The support plate 112 is located above the base plate 111 and spaced apart from the base plate 111. The support plate 112 is used to support the material 300, and the positioning member 12 is inserted into the side of the support plate 112 opposite to the base plate 111. The plurality of support rods 113 are spaced apart between the base plate 111 and the support plate 112, and the two ends of each support rod 113 are respectively connected to the base plate 111 and the support plate 112. Thus, the support base 11 has a simple structure, low cost, and facilitates the loading and unloading of the material 300 by the exchange assembly 20.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support plate 112 is provided with a plurality of spaced chip removal holes 1121, which facilitates the removal of debris that falls onto the support plate 112.

[0037] In this embodiment, the supporting assembly 10 further includes a plurality of limiting members 13. These limiting members 13 are inserted into the supporting plate 112 of the supporting base 11 and spaced apart around the positioning member 12. The limiting members 13 are used to abut against and limit the material 300. When the material 300 is placed on the supporting plate 112, the limiting members 13 abut against and limit the material 300's periphery. Thus, by providing multiple limiting members 13, the accuracy of the supporting assembly 10 in positioning the material 300 is further improved, and the positioning member 12 is facilitated in inserting into the material 300 for positioning.

[0038] In this embodiment, the ends of the positioning member 12 and the multiple limiting members 13 that are away from the bearing plate 112 are all arc-shaped, which facilitates the material 300 to move quickly into the multiple limiting members 13 and facilitates the positioning member 12 to quickly insert into the material 300 for positioning.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are multiple positioning elements 12. The multiple positioning elements 12 and multiple limiting elements 13 are divided into multiple groups and correspond one-to-one. Each group of limiting elements 13 is set around the corresponding group of positioning elements 12, so that the bearing component 10 can simultaneously bear multiple materials 300, which is conducive to improving the processing efficiency of the processing equipment 1000.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bearing assembly 10 further includes an air blowing component 14, which is disposed on the bearing plate 112 of the bearing seat 11 and located on one side of the positioning component 12. The air blowing component 14 has an air blowing hole 141, which is used to blow out gas to clean the material 300 gripped by the gripper 23.

[0041] Specifically, when the drive unit 22 drives the gripper 23 to remove the material 300 to be processed from the carrier assembly 10, the spindle moving platform 500 first moves the material 300 to be processed above the air blowing unit 14 via the connecting frame 21, drive unit 22, and gripper 23. The air blowing unit 14 blows out air to clean the material 300 to be processed, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the processing equipment 1000 on the material 300. When the drive unit 22 drives the gripper 23 to put the processed material 300 back onto the carrier assembly 10, the spindle moving platform 500 first moves the processed material 300 to above the air blowing unit 14 via the connecting frame 21, drive unit 22, and gripper 23. The air blowing unit 14 blows out air to clean the processed material 300, thereby reducing the probability of debris accumulating on the carrier assembly 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the gripper 23 includes a mounting member 231 and multiple suction cups 232. The mounting member 231 is connected to the drive member 22; the multiple suction cups 232 are spaced apart on the mounting member 231 and are used to adsorb material 300. By setting the suction cups 232 to adsorb material 300, it is beneficial to reduce the damage to material 300 caused by the gripper 23 when picking up and placing material 300.

[0043] In some other embodiments, the gripper 23 may also be a clamping gripper, and this application does not specifically limit this embodiment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the exchange component 20 further includes a sensing element 24, which is disposed on the gripper 23 and is used to sense the position of the material 300.

[0045] Specifically, the sensing element 24 can be a functional sensor such as a laser sensor that can sense the position of an object. The sensing element 24 is mounted on the mounting part 231 of the gripper 23 and electrically connected to the spindle moving platform 500 and the drive unit 22. The spindle moving platform 500 and the drive unit 22 drive the gripper 23 to pick up and place materials 300 according to the sensing information of the sensing element 24, thereby improving the accuracy of the gripper 23 in picking up and placing materials 300.

[0046] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the exchange component 20 further includes a cleaning component 25 connected to a liquid source fluid (not shown). The cleaning component 25 is provided on the mounting component 231 of the gripper 23. The cleaning component 25 has a drain hole 251 for draining cleaning liquid to clean the debris and / or the carrier component 10 formed by the material 300 processed by the processing equipment 1000.

[0047] Specifically, the debris formed by the processing equipment 1000 processing the material 300 tends to accumulate on the clamp 600 used to position the material 300 to be processed, and also tends to accumulate on the bearing component 10 when the processed material 300 is put back on the bearing component 10. By setting up the cleaning component 25, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of the exchange component 20 to clean the clamp 600 and the bearing component 10.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 25 is further provided with an air inlet 252 and a liquid inlet 253. The air inlet 252 and the liquid inlet 253 are fluidly connected to an air source (not shown) and a liquid source, respectively. The air inlet 252 is connected to and coaxially arranged with the liquid outlet 251, and the liquid outlet 253 is connected to the liquid outlet 251. The angle between the extending direction of the liquid outlet 253 and the extending direction of the air inlet 252 is an acute angle. In this way, the gas input through the air inlet 252 can pressurize the cleaning liquid input through the liquid outlet 253, so that the cleaning liquid is sprayed out from the liquid outlet 251 in a mist form. The flow rate of the cleaning liquid is faster and the coverage area is larger, which helps to improve the efficiency and cleanliness of the cleaning of the fixture 600 and the carrier component 10 by the exchange component 20.

[0049] In summary, the processing equipment 1000 of this application embodiment, by setting up an exchange mechanism 100, and connecting the bearing component 10 of the exchange mechanism 100 to the support frame 410, and the connecting frame 21 of the exchange mechanism 100 to the spindle moving platform 500, during the processing of material 300 by the processing equipment 1000, the bearing component 10 carries the material 300 to be processed and the processed material 300, and the spindle moving platform 500 drives the drive component 22 to move through the connecting frame 21, and the drive component 22 drives the gripper 23 to move the material 300 to be processed from the bearing component 10 to the fixture 600, and to move the processed material 300 back to the bearing component 10, realizes the function of automatically transferring the material 300 to be processed and the processed material 300 within the processing equipment 1000, and improves the processing efficiency of the processing equipment 1000. In addition, since the exchange component 20 moves under the drive of the spindle moving platform 500, the complex drive structure is reduced. Furthermore, both the carrier component 10 and the exchange component 20 are located inside the processing equipment 1000, which results in small size, low material cost, and no external space occupation, thereby reducing costs and floor space.
