[0038] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0039] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 The present application describes a transfer device provided in an embodiment, which includes a carrying platform 110, a movable platform 120, a mounting base 130, a first driving member 200, and a synchronous belt mechanism.

[0040] The supporting platform 110, the movable platform 120, and the mounting base 130 are distributed at intervals from top to bottom. The supporting platform 110 is used to adsorb the part 900 to be transported. The fixed end of the first driving member 200 is disposed on the mounting base 130, and the output end of the first driving member 200 is connected to the movable platform 120, for driving the movable platform 120 to move relative to the mounting base 130 in a first horizontal direction. The synchronous belt mechanism includes a synchronous pulley 310 and a synchronous belt 320 wrapped around the synchronous pulley 310. The two synchronous pulleys 310 are respectively rotatably disposed on the movable platform 120. The synchronous belt 320 is connected to the supporting platform 110 and is distributed at intervals with the movable platform 120, so that the supporting platform 110 moves relative to the movable platform 120 in a first horizontal direction. Exemplarily, the first driving member 200 includes, but is not limited to, a lead screw module.

[0041] It should be noted that the item to be transported 900 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a product and a carrier.

[0042] For ease of understanding, such as Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the component 900 to be conveyed is parallel to the first horizontal direction, the width direction of the component 900 to be conveyed is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the thickness direction of the component 900 to be conveyed is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, two synchronous pulleys 310 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction and are respectively close to the two ends of the movable platform 120. The synchronous belt 320 is wrapped around the two synchronous pulleys 310 and spaced apart from the movable platform 120 along the second horizontal direction, so as to reduce the space of the transfer device along the vertical direction.

[0044] Understandably, the movable plate is driven to move relative to the mounting base 130 in the first horizontal direction by the output end of the first driving component 200. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the synchronous pulley 310, the synchronous belt 320 moves synchronously relative to the mounting base 130 in the first horizontal direction while rotating relative to the movable platform 120. This causes the carrying plate to move relative to the movable platform 120 in the first horizontal direction along with the movement of the synchronous belt 320. This allows for a more compact structure of the transfer device while doubling the stroke of the transported item 900 in the first horizontal direction, thus improving the space utilization and operational efficiency of the transfer device. Furthermore, by using the carrying platform 110 to hold the transported item 900, items of different sizes can be quickly positioned, reducing the risk of displacement or detachment of the transported item 900 during the movement of the carrying platform 110.

[0045] According to the transfer device provided in the embodiments of this application, the precise transfer of the item to be transported 900 is achieved while ensuring stability and safety during the movement process, which helps to improve space utilization, operational efficiency and the versatility of the transport.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transfer device also includes two connectors 400, one of which is connected to the carrying platform 110 and the timing belt 320 respectively, and the other connector 400 is connected to the mounting base 130 and the timing belt 320 respectively.

[0047] It is understood that the synchronous belt 320 is looped, with one synchronous pulley 310, two connectors 400, and another synchronous pulley 310 spaced apart along the first horizontal direction. The connector 400 connected to the support platform 110 is always located above the connector 400 connected to the mounting base 130. Since a portion of the synchronous belt 320 is connected to both the mounting base 130 and the connector 400, when the movable platform 120 moves relative to the mounting base 130 along the first horizontal direction, one synchronous pulley 310 moves closer to the connector 400 along the first horizontal direction, while the other synchronous pulley 310 moves away from the connector 400 along the first horizontal direction. The remaining portion of the synchronous belt 320 moves relative to this portion along the first horizontal direction, thereby causing the connector 400 connected to the support base to move in the same direction relative to the movable platform 120 along the first horizontal direction under the influence of the remaining portion of the synchronous belt 320.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the synchronous belt 320 is threaded through the connector 400 to increase the connection strength between the two and ensure that the synchronous belt 320 is always taut. This helps to achieve efficient, stable, and safe movement of the synchronous belt 320, while maintaining the compactness and reliability of the transfer device. It should be noted that the specific shape of the connector 400 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transfer device also includes an auxiliary platform 510, which is disposed on the mounting base 130 and intersects the bearing platform 110 along the second horizontal direction at intervals. It should be noted that the shape and size of the auxiliary platform 510 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0050] It is understandable that by setting up an auxiliary platform 510 outside the carrying platform 110, the contact area with the item to be transported 900 is increased, so as to accommodate a wider item to be transported 900 and improve the reliability and flexibility of the transfer device.

[0051] In some embodiments, an antistatic layer is formed on the upper surface of the auxiliary platform 510, thereby reducing the generation of static electricity, minimizing the impact on the conveyed part 900, improving the stability and reliability of the transfer device, and increasing production efficiency and product quality. Exemplarily, the material of the antistatic layer includes, but is not limited to, Teflon.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transfer device also includes a second drive component 520. The fixed end of the second drive component 520 is disposed on the mounting base 130, and the output end of the second drive component 520 is connected to the auxiliary platform 510 for driving the auxiliary platform 510 to move in the vertical direction. The second drive component 520 includes, but is not limited to, a lifting cylinder.

[0053] It is understandable that when the component 900 to be transported is placed on the support platform 110 and its side along the second horizontal direction is outside the support platform 110, the auxiliary platform 510 is driven to move upward by the second drive component 520 until the auxiliary platform 510 and the bottom part of the component 900 to be transported come into contact, thereby improving the stability of the positioning of the component 900 to be transported.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two auxiliary platforms 510, which are located on both sides of the support platform 110.

[0055] Understandably, the two auxiliary platforms 510 are located on both sides of the bearing platform 110 along the second horizontal direction, and the two second drive components 520 correspond one-to-one with the two auxiliary platforms 510, so as to further increase the contact area and improve the reliability and versatility of the transfer device.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide assembly is provided between the mounting base 130 and the movable platform 120 for guiding the movable platform 120 to move along a first horizontal direction; and / or

[0057] A guide assembly is provided between the support platform 110 and the movable platform 120 to guide the support platform 110 to move along the first horizontal direction. It should be noted that the number and specific distribution of the guide assembly can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0058] Understandably, by setting up guide components, additional support is provided, which can increase the smoothness of movement of the corresponding moving platform 120 and / or carrying platform 110 and extend the service life of the transfer device.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, guide components are provided between the mounting base 130 and the movable platform 120, and between the support platform 110 and the movable platform 120, in order to improve the stability of the movable platform 120 and the support platform 110 moving along the first horizontal direction as much as possible.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide assembly includes a slide rail 610 and a slider 620. The slide rail 610 extends along a first horizontal direction, and the slide rail 610 and the slider 620 are slidably engaged. The slider 620 slides along the length direction of the slide rail 610, i.e., the first horizontal direction, so as to play a guiding role when the movable platform 120 moves relative to the mounting base 130 and the bearing platform 110 moves relative to the movable platform 120 along the first horizontal direction, and also increases the stability of the connection between the bearing platform 110, the movable platform 120 and the mounting base 130.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, slide rails 610 are provided on the upper surface of the movable platform 120 and the upper surface of the mounting base 130, and sliders 620 are provided on the lower surface of the movable platform 120 and the lower surface of the bearing platform 110.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper part of the support platform 110 has at least two adsorption regions spaced apart along a first horizontal direction, and each adsorption region forms a plurality of adsorption channels 111 arranged in an array. It should be noted that the number of adsorption regions and the number and specific distribution of adsorption channels 111 in each adsorption region can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0063] Understandably, by setting at least two adsorption regions spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, it is possible to accommodate conveyed items 900 of different lengths. Simultaneously, each adsorption region has multiple adsorption channels 111 arranged in an array, which can also provide a more uniform adsorption force, ensuring the stability and safety of the conveyed item 900 during movement.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the carrier platform 110 has two adsorption areas, one of which forms 2×2 adsorption channels 111, and the other adsorption area forms 3×2 adsorption channels 111.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transfer device also includes a vacuum pressure gauge 800, which is installed on the mounting base 130 and is used to detect the adsorption pressure of the part 900 to be transferred placed on the bearing platform 110.

[0066] Understandably, the vacuum pressure gauge 800 can accurately measure the gas pressure inside each adsorption channel 111 to ensure adsorption strength, reduce the possibility of damage to the surface of the component 900 due to excessive adsorption force, and reduce the risk of the component 900 falling off due to insufficient adsorption force. It also facilitates use with a data logger to record historical pressure change data, making it easier to adapt to different models of components 900 and for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two vacuum pressure gauges 800, and the two vacuum pressure gauges 800 correspond one-to-one with the two adsorption areas.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the carrying platform 110 is equipped with a position sensor 700, which is used to detect the position of the part to be transported 900.

[0069] It is understood that the support platform 110 forms an upward-facing receiving groove, which is used to house the position sensor 700 to accurately determine the presence or absence of the component 900 to be transported on the support platform 110, so as to accurately attract and release the component 900, reduce the risk of collision and damage during movement, and improve operational safety. It should be noted that the shape and size of the receiving groove can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a position sensor 700 is provided between the mounting base 130 and the output end of the first drive component 200 to detect the current position of the movable platform 120, thereby accurately controlling the stroke of the movable platform 120, reducing the possibility of excessive movement, and thus improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire transfer device.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a position sensor 700 is provided between the moving platform 120 and the carrying platform 110 to detect the current position of the carrying platform 110, thereby accurately controlling the travel of the carrying platform 110, reducing the possibility of excessive movement, and thus improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire transfer device.
