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

[0038] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Please see Figure 1This application provides a material handling device 100, which includes a conveying assembly 10, a stop assembly 20, a cover-moving assembly 30, a pushing assembly 40, and a picking assembly 50. The material handling device 100 is used to remove workpieces from a fixture (not shown). The fixture includes a base for supporting the workpiece and a cover plate covering the base. The workpiece can be a mobile phone mid-plate, a casing, etc.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 The conveying assembly 10 carries and conveys a fixture carrying a workpiece along a preset direction. A stop assembly 20 is movably inserted through and connected to the conveying assembly 10, and is used to stop the fixture being conveyed by the conveying assembly 10. A cover-moving assembly 30 is disposed adjacent to the conveying assembly 10, and is used to remove the cover plate of the fixture after it has been stopped. A pushing assembly 40 is movably inserted through the conveying assembly 10 and is spaced apart from the stop assembly 20 along a preset direction, and is used to insert into the base of the fixture after it has been stopped to push the workpiece away from the base. A removal assembly 50 is disposed on one side of the conveying assembly 10, and is used to remove the pushed workpiece. For example, the conveying assembly 10 can be a conveyor belt.

[0041] In actual use, the above-mentioned material handling device 100 firstly conveys the fixture carrying the workpiece along a preset direction by the conveying component 10, the stop component 20 extends out of the conveying component 10 and stops the fixture, then the cover removal component 30 removes the cover plate of the fixture after the stop, and finally the push component 40 extends out of the conveying component 10 and is inserted into the base of the fixture after the stop to push the workpiece away from the base. The removal component 50 removes the pushed workpiece to a predetermined position, thereby realizing the rapid completion of the workpiece handling operation and improving the material handling efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the stop assembly 20 includes a stop drive 21, a stop 22, and a detection element 23. The stop drive 21 is located below and connected to the conveying assembly 10. The stop 22 is movably inserted through the conveying assembly 10 and connected to the stop drive 21. The stop 22 extends out of the conveying assembly 10 under the drive of the stop drive 21 to stop the fixture. The detection element 23 is located on the stop 22 and electrically connected to the stop drive 21. The detection element 23 is used to detect the position information of the fixture. For example, the stop drive 21 can be a cylinder, and the detection element 23 can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor, etc. The aforementioned position information refers to whether the fixture has moved above the pushing assembly 40 under the conveying of the conveying assembly 10.

[0043] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the stop assembly 20, the detection component 23 detects the position information of the fixture and sends an electrical signal to the stop drive component 21. The stop drive component 21 drives the stop component 22 to extend out of the conveying assembly 10 based on the detection information of the detection component 23, so that the stop fixture is above the push assembly 40, which facilitates the push assembly 40 to stably push the workpiece away from the base and improves the material handling stability.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pushing assembly 40 includes a fixing member 41, a pushing drive member 42, and a pushing member 43. The fixing member 41 is disposed below and connected to the conveying assembly 10, and is spaced apart from the stop assembly 20 along a preset direction. The fixing member 41 has a receiving groove 411. The pushing drive member 42 is disposed in the receiving groove 411 and connected to the fixing member 41. The pushing member 43 is movably inserted through the fixing member 41 and connected to the pushing drive member 42. The pushing member 43 is used to extend out of the conveying assembly 10 and insert into the base under the drive of the pushing drive member 42, so as to push the workpiece away from the base. Exemplarily, the pushing drive member 42 can be a cylinder.

[0045] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the aforementioned push assembly 40, the receiving groove 411 can accommodate the push drive component 42, which is beneficial for the reasonable layout of the push assembly 40.

[0046] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pusher 43 includes a linkage body 431 and a plurality of pushers 432. The linkage body 431 is disposed in the receiving groove 411 and connected to the pusher drive 42. The plurality of pushers 432 are spaced apart from the linkage body 431 and are all movably inserted through the fixing member 41. The plurality of pushers 432 are used to push different areas of the workpiece respectively under the drive of the linkage body 431.

[0047] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the aforementioned pusher 43, the pusher drive 42 drives the linkage 431 to drive multiple pushers 432 to push different areas of the workpiece respectively, thereby increasing the contact area between the pusher 43 and the workpiece and ensuring that the pusher 43 stably pushes the workpiece away from the base.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end of the pusher 432 adjacent to the conveying assembly 10 is a tapered end 4321.

[0049] Thus, by setting a tapered end 4321 at one end of the pusher 432 adjacent to the conveying assembly 10, the tapered end 4321 guides the pusher 432 to be inserted into the base, so that the pusher 432 can stably push the workpiece away from the base, thereby improving the pushing stability of the pusher assembly 40.

[0050] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments, the material handling device 100 further includes a clamping assembly 60, which includes two clamping members 61. The two clamping members 61 are spaced apart on the conveying assembly 10 along a direction perpendicular to a preset direction. The two clamping members 61 are used to clamp the base of the fixture after it has stopped. Exemplarily, the clamping members 61 can be any clamping part, clamping body, or similar clamping plate capable of clamping a workpiece, such as a clamping plate connected to a cylinder.

[0051] Thus, by setting the clamping assembly 60, the two clamping pieces 61 clamp the base of the fixture behind the stop, thereby fixing the base above the pushing assembly 40, preventing the base from shaking during the pushing assembly 40 pushing the workpiece, which is conducive to the pushing assembly 40 stably pushing the workpiece.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material handling device 100 further includes a return assembly 70, which includes a return component 71, a transfer component 72, and a movable component 73. The return component 71 is arranged parallel to the conveying assembly 10, the transfer component 72 is arranged adjacent to the conveying assembly 10 and connected to the movable component 73, the transfer component 72 is used to receive the empty base conveyed by the conveying assembly 10, and the movable component 73 is used to drive the transfer component 72 to move to one end of the return component 71, so that the base is transferred to the return component 71 via the transfer component 72, and then transferred to a preset position under the drive of the return component 71. Exemplarily, both the return component 71 and the transfer component 72 can be a conveyor belt, and the movable component 73 can be a cylinder, a servo slide, etc. It can be understood that the above-mentioned empty base refers to the base after the workpiece has been removed.

[0053] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the above-mentioned return component 70, the conveying component 10 first conveys the empty base to the transfer component 72, the transfer component 72 receives and carries the empty base, and the movable component 73 then drives the transfer component 72 to move to one end of the return component 71, so that the transfer component 72 transmits the empty base to the return component 71, and the return component 71 transmits the empty base to a preset position, thereby collecting the empty base in a concentrated manner, which facilitates the reuse of the base.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material handling device 100 further includes a transmission component 80, which is arranged in parallel with the conveying component 10. The transmission component 80 is used to receive the cover plate moved by the cover transfer component 30 and transmit the cover plate to a preset position.

[0055] Thus, by setting the aforementioned transmission component 80, the cover-moving component 30 removes the cover plate from the base and places it in the transmission component 80. The transmission component 80 receives the cover plate removed by the cover-moving component 30 and transmits the cover plate to a preset position, thereby transmitting the cover plate and the empty base to the same preset position, which facilitates repeated operation using the cover plate and the base.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cover-moving assembly 30 includes a support member 31, an adjusting member 32, a lifting member 33, and a cover-moving member 34. The support member 31 is disposed adjacent to the conveying assembly 10, the adjusting member 32 is disposed on and connected to the support member 31, one end of the lifting member 33 is connected to the adjusting member 32, and the cover-moving member 34 is connected to the other end of the lifting member 33. The cover-moving member 34 is used to remove the cover plate and, driven by the adjusting member 32 and the lifting member 33, transfers the cover plate to the transmission assembly 80. Exemplarily, the adjusting member 32 and the lifting member 33 can both be cylinders, servo slides, etc., and the cover-moving member 34 can be any cover-moving part, cover-moving body, or similar cover-moving plate capable of removing the cover plate.

[0057] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the cover-moving assembly 30, firstly, the adjusting member 32 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move above the fixture after the stop, and the lifting member 33 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move closer to or away from the conveying assembly 10 so that the cover-moving member 34 can stably remove the cover plate. Then, the adjusting member 32 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move above the transmission assembly 80, and the lifting member 33 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move closer to the conveying assembly 10 so that the cover-moving member 34 can place the cover plate on the transmission assembly 80, thereby realizing the removal and transfer operation of the cover plate.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 50 includes a transfer member 51 and an adsorption member 52. The transfer member 51 is disposed on one side of the conveying assembly 10 and connected to the adsorption member 52. The adsorption member 52 is used to adsorb the workpiece after it has been pushed and to transfer the workpiece to a predetermined position under the drive of the transfer member 51.

[0059] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the above-mentioned transfer component 50, the adsorption member 52 adsorbs the workpiece after it is pushed, preventing the workpiece from shaking during the transfer process. This facilitates the transfer member 51 to drive the adsorption member 52 to transfer the workpiece to the predetermined position, making it easier to centrally process the workpiece.

[0060] It is understood that the above-mentioned adsorption of the workpiece can be achieved by vacuum adsorption or magnetic adsorption. In this embodiment, the adsorption element 52 can be a suction cup, and the adsorption element 52 adsorbs the workpiece under vacuum.

[0061] The working process of the aforementioned material handling device 100 is roughly as follows:

[0062] First, the conveying assembly 10 conveys the fixture carrying the workpiece along a preset direction. The detection component 23 detects that the fixture has moved above the pushing assembly 40 and sends an electrical signal to the stop drive component 21. The stop drive component 21 drives the stop component 22 to extend out of the conveying assembly 10 so that the stop component 22 stops the fixture above the pushing assembly 40.

[0063] Then, the adjusting member 32 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move above the fixture after the stop, the cover-moving member 34 removes the cover plate, the adjusting member 32 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move above the transmission assembly 80, the lifting member 33 drives the cover-moving member 34 to move closer to the transmission assembly 80, so that the cover-moving member 34 places the cover plate on the transmission assembly 80, and the transmission assembly 80 transmits the cover plate to the preset position;

[0064] Next, the push drive 42 drives the linkage 431 to drive multiple push bodies 432 to extend out of the conveying assembly 10 and be inserted into the base behind the stop. The multiple push bodies 432 push different areas of the workpiece respectively, ensuring that the push 43 stably pushes the workpiece away from the base. The adsorption member 52 then adsorbs the workpiece and, under the drive of the transfer member 51, transfers the workpiece to the predetermined position.

[0065] Finally, the stop drive 21 drives the stop 22 to remove the stop from the empty base. The conveying assembly 10 conveys the empty base to the transfer member 72. The transfer member 72 receives and carries the empty base. The movable member 73 then drives the transfer member 72 to the end of the return member 71, so that the transfer member 72 transfers the empty base to the return member 71, and the return member 71 transfers the empty base to the preset position, thereby realizing the rapid completion of the workpiece picking operation and improving the picking efficiency.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
