[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the transfer device provided in an embodiment of this application. The embodiment of this application provides a transfer device comprising: a first track 1; a second track 2 connected to the first track 1 and configured to move along the first track 1; and a transport mechanism 3 connected to the second track 2 and configured to move along the second track 2. The transport mechanism 3 has a carrying surface 31, wherein the carrying surface 31 is configured to carry a product, and rollers 311 are provided on the carrying surface 31, and the rollers 311 are configured to contact the product to move the product; the rolling direction of the rollers 311 is perpendicular to both the first track 1 and the second track 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second track 2 is movable along the first track 1, while the transport mechanism 3 is movable along the second track 2. This allows the product on the transport mechanism 3 to be transported to the target location by moving the second track 2 and the transport mechanism 3, thus eliminating the need for a robotic arm to move the product. For example, the transfer device provided in this application can be used to transport a circuit board into a baking device.

[0053] Furthermore, rollers 311 are provided on the transport mechanism, and the rolling direction of the rollers 311 is perpendicular to both the first track 1 and the second track 2. This allows the product to move in a direction perpendicular to both the first track 1 and the second track 2. Thus, by moving the second track 2 and the transport mechanism 3, the product on the transport mechanism 3 can be transported to any position within the area enclosed by the first track 1 and the second track 2. For example, with the first track 1 as the Y-axis and the second track 2 as the Z-axis, moving the second track 2 along the first track 1 changes the coordinates of the product on the transport mechanism 3 on the Y-axis. Similarly, moving the transport mechanism 3 along the second track 2 changes the coordinates of the product on the Z-axis. The rollers 311 can also be used to change the position of the product in the X-axis direction. Therefore, the transfer mechanism provided in this embodiment can transport the product carried by the transport mechanism 3 to any position within the area enclosed by the first track 1 and the second track 2. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and helps to reduce costs.

[0054] Furthermore, rollers 311 are provided on the carrying surface 31, and the rolling direction of the rollers 311 is perpendicular to the first track 1 and the second track 2. This allows the rolling of the rollers 311 to reduce friction between the product and the carrying surface 31 when unloading the product from the transport mechanism 3, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the product surface. In addition, if the product is pushed out of the transport mechanism 3, the rollers 311 can also reduce the force required to push the product, increasing the convenience of unloading the product.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram of a portion of the structure is shown in some embodiments of this application. The second track 2 has a connecting portion 21, which is connected to the first track 1. The transfer device further includes: a first drive mechanism 4, disposed on the connecting portion 21; a first transmission component 5, connected to the first drive mechanism 4, configured to operate under the drive of the first drive mechanism 4 to drive the second track 2 to move along the first track 1; and a second transmission component 6, connected to the first drive mechanism 4, configured to operate under the drive of the first drive mechanism 4 to drive the transport mechanism 3 to move along the second track 2.

[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the first drive mechanism 4 includes a first drive component 41 and a second drive component 42. The first drive component 41 is connected to the first transmission component 5, and the second drive component 42 is connected to the second transmission component 6.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 4 includes a first drive component 41 and a second drive component 42. The first drive component 41 and the second drive component 42 drive the first transmission component 5 and the second transmission component 6 respectively, so that the actions of the two transmission components are independent. That is, while the first drive component 41 drives the first transmission component 5, the second drive component 42 can drive the second transmission component 6 to move. This allows the movement of the second track 2 and the movement of the transport mechanism 3 to be carried out simultaneously, which helps to reduce the time for transporting products to the target location and thus improves production efficiency.

[0058] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the first transmission component 5 includes a first gear 51 and a first rack 52. The first gear 51 meshes with the first rack 52. The first gear 51 is connected to the first drive component 41. The first rack 52 is disposed on one side of the first track 1 and is disposed along the length direction of the first track 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first transmission component 5 is a first gear 51 and a first rack 52. Gear transmission not only has high transmission efficiency but also a wide range of applications, including high-speed, medium-speed, and low-speed transmissions. Therefore, using a first gear 51 and a first rack 52 as the first transmission component 5 can expand the application range of the transportation device provided in this embodiment. Furthermore, gear transmission is relatively simple to maintain and has low cost, which helps to reduce production costs.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Another perspective perspective of the structure of the transfer device in this application. In some embodiments, the second transmission component 6 includes a second gear 61 and a second rack 62. The second gear 61 meshes with the second rack 62. The second gear 61 is connected to the second drive component 42. The second rack 62 is disposed on the second track 2.

[0061] The technical effects of the second transmission assembly 6, including the second gear 61 and the second rack 62, are similar to or the same as those of the first transmission assembly 5, including the first gear 51 and the first rack 52, and will not be described again here.

[0062] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1The enlarged three-dimensional schematic diagram of another part of the structure is shown in some embodiments of this application. The transport mechanism 3 includes: a support plate 32 connected to the second track 2, the support plate 32 being configured to move along the second track 2, the surface of the support plate 32 facing away from the first track 1 being a support surface 321, the support surface 321 being perpendicular to the second track 2; a slide rail 33 disposed on the support surface 321 and configured to slide in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second track 2; a tray 34 connected to the slide rail 33 and configured to carry products and move along the sliding direction of the slide rail 33; and a second drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) connected to the slide rail 33 and configured to drive the slide rail 33 to move.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting a slide rail 33 and a tray 34 on the support plate 32, and making the slide rail 33 slide in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second track 2, the position of the tray 34 in a direction perpendicular to both the first track 1 and the second track 2 can be adjusted. For example, still taking the first track 1 as the Y-axis and the second track 2 as the Z-axis, the movement direction of the tray 34 is parallel to the X-axis. When using the transport mechanism 3 to carry products, the position of the tray 34 on the X-axis can be adjusted, thus expanding the applicability of the transport device provided in this embodiment. In addition, the adjustable position of the tray 34 in the X-axis direction allows the tray 34 to be adjusted to be below the product when using the tray to carry products. The tray 34 supports the product, and the slide rail 33 is used to adjust the position of the tray 34 on the X-axis. The tray 34 is then retracted to complete the product retrieval, eliminating the need for a robotic arm to grasp the product. This not only reduces costs but also avoids the possibility of the product falling and being damaged during the robotic arm's grasping process, reducing the probability of product damage.

[0064] It is understandable that the operation of unloading products from tray 34 is the reverse of the operation of taking products from tray 34 as described above, and will not be described again here.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of rollers 311 are provided on the loading surface 31, and the plurality of rollers 311 are arranged in an array.

[0066] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the tray 34 has a carrying surface 31, and a mounting hole 312 is provided on the tray 34, with a roller 311 installed in the mounting hole 312. This reduces the distance between the product and the carrying surface 31, preventing the product from tilting or even slipping and being damaged due to the roller 311.

[0067] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the transfer device further includes: a first sensing component 7, disposed on the support plate 32 and configured to sense the position of the tray 34; and a second sensing component 8, disposed on the support plate 32 and configured to sense whether a product is present on the tray 34.

[0068] This approach avoids the transport mechanism 3 and / or the second track 2 from moving before the pallet 34 is returned to its initial position (i.e., the distance moved on the X-axis is zero), which reduces the possibility of products falling off the pallet 34 and being damaged, and also reduces the possibility of the pallet 34 colliding with other equipment and being damaged.

[0069] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the transfer device further includes a third sensing component 9, which is disposed on the support plate 32 and configured to sense the distance between the support surface 321 and the equipment carrying the product when the pallet 34 receives the product.

[0070] In this embodiment, the tray 34 can be moved under the product and the product can be picked up by supporting the product with the tray 34. In order to avoid the product falling and being damaged due to the change in the position of the transport mechanism 3 and / or the second track 2 during this process, a third sensing component 9 is provided on the support plate 32. The third sensing component 9 is used to sense the distance between the support surface 321 and the equipment carrying the product in real time.

[0071] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the transfer device further includes: a scanning component 10, which is disposed on the carrier plate 32 and configured to scan product information on the product; and a control mechanism, which is connected to the scanning component 10 and the first drive mechanism 4 and configured to control the first drive mechanism 4 to adjust the position of the transport mechanism 3 according to the product information.

[0072] This approach automates product transportation, improves efficiency, and increases the accuracy of transportation results by reducing manual labor.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the product information may include target location information and product size information. The movement distance of the pallet 34 on the X-axis can be controlled according to the product size information, so that the pallet 34 is located in the middle area of ​​the product, reducing the possibility of the product slipping during transportation.
