The feeding and discharging device 16 is arranged between the top end 121 and the bottom end 122 of the support 12 and is arranged from the storage device 15 to the clamping device 14. The feeding and discharging device 16 is arranged on one side of the support 12. The feeding and discharging device 16 is used to transfer the materials 20 between the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14. In operation, the planar transfer device 17 moves the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14 along the positive direction of the X axis.

[0041] When the planar transfer device 17 moves the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14 along the positive direction of the X axis and the clamping device 14 is arranged opposite to the processing device 13 along the Z axis, the processing device 13 processes the materials 20 on the clamping device 14. When the materials 20 on the clamping device 14 are processed, the planar transfer device 17 moves the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14 along the negative direction of the X axis until the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14 are arranged opposite to the feeding and discharging device 16 along the Z axis. The feeding and discharging device 16 transfers the processed materials 20 on the clamping device 14 to the storage device 15.

[0045] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the planar transfer device 17 comprises a first moving module 172, a second moving module 173, and a carrier 171, the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 are disposed on the top surface of the carrier 171, the carrier 171 is disposed on the first moving module 172, the first moving module 172 is connected with the second moving module 173, the second moving module 173 is disposed on the bottom end 122 of the support 12, and the second moving module 173 is connected with the support 12 or the cabinet 11. In operation, the first moving module 172 drives the carrier 171 to move along the X-axis direction, and synchronously drives the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move, so that the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 reciprocate below the processing device 13 and below the feeding and discharging device 16.

[0046] When the material 20 in the storage device 15 is completely processed, the second moving module 173 drives the first moving module 172 to move away from the support 12 along the Y-axis direction towards the edge of the cabinet 11, and synchronously drives the carrier 171, the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move, when the storage device 15 moves to the edge of the cabinet 11, the feeding and discharging operation is performed on the storage device 15 through the window on the cabinet 11, so as to take off the processed material 20 on the storage device 15, and place the material 20 to be processed in the storage device 15, and the second moving module 173 drives the first moving module 172 to move from the edge of the cabinet 11 towards the support 12, so that the feeding and discharging device 16 transfers the material 20 on the storage device 15 to the clamping device 14, and the cycle is repeated in sequence, so as to realize the continuous processing of the material 20 by the processing device 13.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first moving module 172 and the second moving module 173 respectively comprise a cylinder, an electric push, a hydraulic cylinder or a lead screw module, etc. power elements with output reciprocating force, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the second moving module 173 driving the first moving module 172 along the Y-axis direction, and the reciprocating movement of the first moving module 172 driving the carrier 171 along the X-axis direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the clamping device 14 comprises a mounting table 141 and a jig 142, and the jig 142 is used for clamping the material 20. The mounting table 141 is connected with the carrier 171, and the jig 142 is detachably connected with the mounting table 141, so as to replace different jigs 142 corresponding to different materials 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the top of the jig 142 is provided with at least one sliding groove 143 and at least one limiting structure 145, the sliding groove 143 has two opposite ends along the X-axis direction, and each of the two ends of the sliding groove 143 is provided with the limiting structure 145. When the material 20 is placed on the jig 142, part of the material 20 is located in the sliding groove 143 to limit the material 20 in the horizontal direction through the sliding groove 143. The limiting structure 145 extends above the protrusion 22 of the material 20 along the X-axis direction and limits the material 20 by pressing the protrusion 22 to prevent the material 20 from moving up and down along the Z-axis direction, thereby improving the stability of the material 20 in the jig 142 and helping to improve the accuracy of the processing device 13 in processing the material 20.

[0050] In other embodiments, the sliding groove 143 extends along the Y-axis direction, and the limiting structure 145 correspondingly extends into the material 20 along the Y-axis direction.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , one end of the sliding groove 143 is provided with a fixed block 144, and the limiting structure 145 is arranged on the top of the fixed block 144 and extends from the fixed block 144 to the sliding groove 143 in the horizontal direction. When the material 20 is placed at the other end of the sliding groove 143, the material 20 slides along the sliding groove 143 towards the fixed block 144 until the material 20 contacts the fixed block 144 and the limiting structure 145 extends above the protrusion 22 of the material 20, thereby achieving the function of limiting the material 20.

[0052] Further, the clamping device 14 further comprises a pushing assembly (not shown) arranged on one side of the jig 142, the pushing assembly comprises a push rod, and the push rod is arranged opposite to the fixed block 144 along the extension direction of the sliding groove 143. When the material 20 is placed in the sliding groove 143, the push rod pushes the material 20 towards the fixed block 144 until the material 20 contacts the fixed block 144, and the push rod and the fixed block 144 jointly clamp the material 20, thereby improving the fixation of the material 20 on the jig 142 to reduce the risk of movement of the material 20 relative to the sliding groove 143, and helping to improve the accuracy of the processing device 13 in processing the material 20.

[0053] It can be understood that when the material 20 is processed, the push rod moves away from the fixed block 144 and releases the material 20. So that the material 20 can move relative to the limiting structure 145, and the limiting structure 145 moves away from the upper side of the protrusion 22 to release the limiting effect on the material 20, so that the feeding and discharging mechanism can move the material 20 along the Z-axis away from the jig 142.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pushing assembly further comprises a clamping driver (not shown) for driving the pushing rod to reciprocate, the clamping driver being a pneumatic cylinder, an electric push, a hydraulic cylinder or a screw module, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the feeding and discharging device 16 comprises a first driver 161, a mounting member 1631, a first sliding assembly 162 and at least one clamping mechanism 163, the first sliding assembly 162 comprises a first sliding rail (not labeled) and a first sliding block (not labeled), the first sliding rail extends along the Z-axis direction, the first sliding rail is connected with the support 12, the first sliding block is in sliding connection with the first sliding rail, the first driver 161 is fixedly arranged opposite to the first sliding rail, and the first sliding block is connected with the mounting member 1631 and the first driver 161 respectively. Each clamping mechanism 163 comprises a clamping driver 1632, a pushing jaw 1633 and a fixing jaw 1634, the pushing jaw 1633 and the fixing jaw 1634 are located at the bottom of the clamping driver 1632, the pushing jaw 1633 is located at one side of the corresponding fixing jaw 1634 along the X-axis direction, the clamping drivers 1632 of all the clamping mechanisms 163 are arranged at the bottom of the mounting member 1631, and the clamping driver 1632 of each clamping mechanism 163 is connected with the pushing jaw 1633 of the corresponding clamping mechanism 163 respectively.

[0056] In operation, the carrying member 171 drives the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move to the lower side of the feeding and discharging device 16, and the clamping device 14 is located directly below the feeding and discharging device 16, the first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to move downward through the first sliding assembly 162, and simultaneously drives the clamping mechanism 163 to move close to the jig 142 of the clamping device 14, until the pushing jaw 1633 and the fixing jaw 1634 are located at both sides of the clamping portion 21 of the material 20. It can be understood that the guiding action of the first sliding assembly 162 helps to improve the stability of the movement of the mounting member 1631. The clamping driver 1632 drives the pushing jaw 1633 to push the clamping portion 21 of the material 20 towards the fixing jaw 1634, and simultaneously drives the material 20 to move relative to the limiting structure 145, so that the limiting structure 145 moves away from above the protrusion 22 of the material 20 and releases the limiting action on the material 20. The pushing jaw 1633 continues to push the material 20 to move until the material 20 contacts the fixing jaw 1634, and the pushing jaw 1633 cooperates with the fixing jaw 1634 to clamp the clamping portion 21 of the material 20. The pushing jaw 1633 pushes the material 20 to move, so as to realize the movement of the material 20 out of the working area of the limiting structure 145, and at the same time, the limiting structure 145 moves out of the protrusion 22 of the material 20, and the clamping portion 21 of the material 20 is clamped, which helps to reduce the need to set other pushing mechanisms to push the material 20 to move, so that the structure of the clamping device 14 is simpler.

[0057] At the same time, relative to the need for other pushing mechanism to push the material 20 away from the working area of the limiting structure 145, so that the limiting structure 145 away from the protrusion 22 of the material 20 to the upper moving out, a plurality of working components need to work in turn, through the pushing claw 1633 to push the material 20 moves while clamping the material 20, reduces the error due to the plurality of working components work in turn, ultimately lead to the risk of the feeding and discharging device 16 can not be removed from the fixture 142 on the material 20, help to improve the reliability of the feeding and discharging device 16 on the fixture 142 to obtain the material 20.

[0058] After the clamping mechanism 163 clamps the processed material 20, the first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to rise, and synchronously drives the clamping mechanism 163 and the material 20 to move. The carrier 171 drives the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move relative to the feeding and discharging device 16, and makes the storage device 15 located directly below the feeding and discharging device 16. The first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to move downward, and synchronously drives the clamping mechanism 163 to move close to the storage device 15. The clamping driver 1632 drives the pushing claw 1633 to move away from the fixed jaw 1634, and releases the material 20, so as to realize the release of the processed material 20 to the storage box 151. The clamping mechanism 163 drives the pushing claw 1633 to move close to the fixed jaw 1634 again, and makes the pushing claw 1633 and the fixed jaw 1634 jointly clamp the material to be processed 20, so as to realize the clamping mechanism 163 to obtain the material 20 from the storage device 15.

[0059] After the clamping mechanism 163 clamps the processed material 20, the first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to rise, and synchronously drives the clamping mechanism 163 and the material 20 to move. The carrier 171 drives the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move relative to the feeding and discharging device 16, and makes the clamping device 14 located directly below the feeding and discharging device 16. The first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to move downward, and synchronously drives the clamping mechanism 163 and the material 20 to move close to the fixture 142 of the clamping device 14. The clamping driver 1632 drives the pushing claw 1633 to move away from the fixed jaw 1634 and releases the material 20. The first driver 161 drives the mounting member 1631 to rise, so as to make the clamping mechanism 163 avoid the material 20. The push rod on the clamping device 14 acts on the material 20 and pushes the material 20 to move close to the fixed block 144, so as to realize the fixation of the material 20 on the fixture 142. The carrier 171 drives the clamping device 14 and the storage device 15 to move from below the feeding and discharging device 16 to below the processing device 13, and circulates in turn, so as to realize the automation function of the processing equipment 10.

[0060] In other embodiments, when the sliding groove 143 on the jig 142 is arranged to extend along the Y-axis direction, the pushing claws 1633 and the fixing claws 1634 are distributed along the Y-axis direction to realize that the pushing claws 1633 push the material 20 in the sliding groove 143 to slide along the extending direction of the sliding groove 143.

[0061] Further, referring to Figure 3 , the number of the sliding grooves 143 and the limiting structures 145 on the jig 142 is two or more, and the number of the clamping mechanisms 163 is consistent with the number of the sliding grooves 143 to realize that one pushing claw 1633 pushes the material 20 in one sliding groove 143 to move and clamps the material 20 together with the fixing claw 1634.

[0062] It can be understood that when the number of the pushing claws 1633 is two or more, the number of the clamping drivers 1632 can be only one, one clamping driver 1632 is simultaneously in transmission connection with multiple pushing claws 1633 and simultaneously drives all the pushing claws 1633 to move, which helps to reduce the number of the clamping mechanisms 163 and reduce the movement error between different pushing claws 1633.

[0063] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the feeding and discharging device 16 further comprises a second driver 168 and a second sliding assembly 169, the second driver 168 drives the first driver 161 to move through the second sliding assembly 169. Specifically, the second sliding assembly 169 comprises a second sliding rail (not identified) and a second sliding block (not identified), the second sliding rail extends along the X-axis direction, the second sliding rail is fixedly connected with the support 12, the second sliding block is in sliding connection with the second sliding rail, the second driver 168 is fixedly arranged opposite to the second sliding rail, and the second sliding block is further connected with the first sliding rail and the second driver 168. When the clamping mechanism 163 obtains the material 20 on the storage device 15 or the clamping device 14, the second driver 168 drives the second sliding block to move and synchronously drives the first driver 161, the first sliding rail, the mounting piece 1631 and the clamping mechanism 163 to move, so that the clamping mechanism 163 transfers the material 20 from the storage device 15 to the clamping device 14 or transfers the material 20 from the clamping device 14 to the storage device 15. It can be understood that the second sliding assembly 169 and the first sliding assembly 162 have the same effect of providing movement guidance, and through the arrangement of the second sliding assembly 169, the stability of the second driver 168 driving the first driver 161 to move is improved.

[0064] In other embodiments, the second driver 168 and the first moving module 172 can work simultaneously to shorten the time of the clamping mechanism 163 transferring the material 20 from the storage device 15 to the clamping device 14 or transferring the material 20 from the clamping device 14 to the storage device 15.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first driver 161 and the second driver 168 are respectively a cylinder, an electric push, a hydraulic cylinder or a screw module, etc. which are power elements with output reciprocating force.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first driver 161 and the second driver 168 are respectively a slide cylinder, that is, the first driver 161 is integrally arranged with the first sliding assembly 162, and the second driver 168 is integrally arranged with the second sliding assembly 169, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty and production cost of the feeding and discharging device 16 by reducing the number of components. At the same time, through the high-precision movement stroke of the slide cylinder, it helps to improve the accuracy of the movement of the mounting piece 1631 driven by the first driver 161, and the accuracy of the movement of the mounting piece 1631 driven by the first driver 161 driven by the second driver 168.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 When the number of the chute 143 and the limiting structure 145 is two or more, all the chutes 143 are divided into two parts arranged symmetrically along the extension direction of the chute 143, and each part of the chute 143 is parallel and spaced. Specifically, when the chute 143 extends along the X-axis direction, the symmetry axis of the two parts of the chute 143 is parallel to the Y-axis direction, and each part of the chute 143 is also spaced along the Y-axis direction. The fixed block 144 is located between the two parts of the chute 143, and one end of all the chutes 143 of the two parts extends to the fixed block 144, so that one fixed block 144 can contact the material 20 in the chute 143 on both sides, which helps to reduce the number of fixed blocks 144. All the limiting structures 145 corresponding to the chute 143 are also divided into two parts, and the limiting structures 145 are distributed on both sides of the fixed block 144. In the horizontal direction, one limiting structure 145 extends from the fixed block 144 to the chute 143. Along the X-axis direction, the two push rods of the pushing assembly are located on both sides of all the chutes 143, and in work, the two push rods of the pushing assembly are moved towards each other, so as to push the material 20 in each chute 143 to move close to the fixed block 144.

[0068] The number of the corresponding clamping mechanism 163 is consistent with the number of the chute 143, and the clamping mechanism 163 corresponding to the chute 143 is divided into two parts arranged symmetrically, and the push claw 1633 of each part of the clamping mechanism 163 is close to the clamping mechanism 163 of the other part relative to the corresponding fixed claw 1634, that is, along the X-axis direction, the push claw 1633 of all the clamping mechanisms 163 is located between the fixed claws 1634 of the two parts of the clamping mechanism 163.

[0069] In work, one clamping mechanism 163 is arranged corresponding to one chute 143, so as to realize that one clamping mechanism 163 obtains or releases one material 20 on one chute 143.

[0070] It can be understood that the array distribution of the chute 143 helps to increase the number of materials 20 carried by the jig 142, thereby helping to increase the number of materials 20 processed by the processing device 13 each time, and thereby helping to reduce the number of times the feeding and discharging device 16 transfers the materials 20 between the storage device 15 and the clamping device 14. Moreover, the array distribution makes the distribution of the clamping mechanism 163 on the mounting frame more simple and compact.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 The feeding and discharging device 16 further comprises a positioning member 166 connected with the mounting frame, the positioning member 166 being located at one side of the clamping mechanism 163 and at a side of the push claw 1633 away from the fixed claw 1634. When the push claw 1633 and the fixed claw 1634 jointly clamp the material 20, the bottom of the positioning member 166 acts on the protrusion 22 of the material 20 to inhibit the rotation of the material 20 around the push claw 1633 and the fixed claw 1634, thereby reducing the risk of rotation of the material 20 and helping to improve the clamping accuracy of the feeding and discharging device 16.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 The positioning member 166 is located in the middle of the two-part clamping mechanism 163, i.e., the two-part clamping mechanism 163 is symmetrically arranged around the positioning member 166, and the positioning member 166 is a block-shaped member.

[0073] It can be understood that when the mounting member 1631 drives the clamping mechanism 163 to move close to the jig 142, the positioning member 166 can cooperate with the fixed block 144 on the jig 142, and the fixed block 144 supports the positioning member 166 to inhibit the mounting member 1631 from continuing to move downward, thereby achieving the function of limiting the downward movement distance of the mounting member 1631.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 The mounting member 1631 is provided with a positioning pin 160 located at the bottom of the mounting member 1631, and the positioning pin 160 extends downward from the mounting member 1631. The jig 142 is provided with a positioning hole 146. When the first sliding assembly 162 drives the mounting member 1631 to move downward and close to the jig 142, the positioning pin 160 can be inserted into the positioning hole 146 to position the relative position between the mounting member 1631 and the jig 142 through the cooperation of the positioning hole 146 and the positioning pin 160, thereby helping to improve the accuracy of the clamping mechanism 163 in picking up or releasing the material 20 on the jig 142.

[0075] In some embodiments, the mounting member 1631 and the jig 142 are provided with positioning pins 160 and positioning holes 146, the positioning pins 160 on the mounting member 1631 are matched with the positioning holes 146 on the jig 142, and the positioning holes 146 on the mounting member 1631 are matched with the positioning pins 160 on the jig 142.

[0076] In some embodiments, the number of the positioning pins 160 and the positioning holes 146 is two or more, so as to reduce the positioning error.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 each clamping mechanism 163 is slidably connected with the mounting member 1631. The feeding and discharging device 16 further comprises elastic members 164, one end of each elastic member 164 is connected with one clamping mechanism 163, and the other end is connected with the mounting member 1631. When the mounting member 1631 drives all the clamping mechanisms 163 to move downwards and close to the material 20, and the clamping mechanisms 163 contact the material 20, the clamping mechanisms 163 are buffered by the elastic members 164, so as to reduce the risk of damaging the material 20 due to excessive pressure between the clamping mechanisms 163 and the material 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, the elastic members 164 are compression springs or elastic rubbers.

[0079] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 the feeding and discharging device 16 further comprises a movable block 165, the movable block 165 is connected with all the clamping mechanisms 163, the movable block 165 is slidably connected with the mounting member 1631, and the elastic members 164 are connected with the movable block 165 and the mounting member 1631, so as to achieve the effect that the elastic members 164 buffer all the clamping mechanisms 163 through the movable block 165.

[0080] In other embodiments, the elastic members 164 can also be arranged on the positioning pins 160 only, and the two ends of each elastic member 164 are connected with the positioning pin 160 and the mounting member 1631 respectively. When the mounting member 1631 moves close to the jig 142 and the positioning pins 160 contact the jig 142, the positioning pins 160 are buffered by the elastic members 164, so as to buffer the mounting member 1631 synchronously, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the material 20 due to excessive pressure between the clamping mechanisms 163 and the material 20, and reducing the risk of damaging the jig 142 due to excessive pressure between the positioning pins 160 or the mounting member 1631 and the jig 142.

[0081] Further, part of the elastic members 164 are connected with the positioning pins 160 and the mounting member 1631, and the remaining elastic members 164 are connected with the mounting member 1631 and the clamping mechanisms 163.

[0082] When the positioning pin 160 is arranged on the jig 142, a part of the elastic member 164 is connected with the positioning pin 160 and the jig 142.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The feeding and discharging device 16 further comprises a sensor 167, which is arranged on the clamping driver 1632 and faces the push jaw 1633 and sends an induction signal to the push jaw 1633. When the push jaw 1633 moves to the induction area of the sensor 167, the sensor 167 sends a feedback signal to the clamping driver 1632 and stops driving the push jaw 1633 to move, so as to avoid the risk of the push jaw 1633 moving too far and clamping the material 20 or colliding with the outside world, which helps to improve the accuracy of the clamping mechanism 163 in obtaining or releasing the material 20.

[0084] In other embodiments, the sensor 167 can also be arranged on the mounting member 1631.

[0085] In some embodiments, the sensor 167 is a photosensor, an ultrasonic sensor or other sensor capable of detecting the presence of a target.

[0086] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 The storage device 15 comprises a storage box 151, which is arranged on the bearing member 171. The storage box 151 is provided with an opening 153 on one side. The storage box 151 is further slidably provided with a receiving plate 152, which enters and exits the storage box 151 through the opening 153. The receiving plate 152 is used to bear the processed material 20 and the material 20 to be processed. When the feeding and discharging device 16 needs to obtain or release the material 20, the receiving plate 152 is moved out of the storage box 151 under the action of the power equipment.

[0087] It can be understood that when the receiving plate 152 is located in the storage box 151, the storage box 151 is in a closed state, so as to reduce the risk of impurities such as cutting fluid and waste chips entering the storage box 151 and polluting the material 20 in the storage box 151. This helps to improve the cleanliness of the material 20.

[0088] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 The top of the storage box 151 can also bear abnormal materials 20. When the material 20 is abnormal, the clamping mechanism 163 places the abnormal material 20 on the storage box 151, so as to separate the abnormal material 20 from the normal material 20, which helps to improve the processing yield of the processing equipment 10. In addition, bearing the abnormal material 20 on the top of the storage box 151 is conducive to the inspection and recovery of the abnormal material 20 by the workers.

[0089] It can be understood that the abnormal material 20 can be detected manually, and the abnormal material 20 is released to the top of the storage box 151 by manually operating the clamping mechanism 163.

[0090] Further, the processing equipment 10 further comprises a detection assembly (not shown) for detecting the material 20, which is a detection device such as a CCD camera. After detecting the material 20 by the detection assembly, a feedback signal is fed back to the feeding and discharging device 16, so that the feeding and discharging device 16 places the material 20 on the top of the storage box 151 or the receiving plate 152.

[0091] In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, and are not used as a limitation to the present application, and any appropriate changes and variations to the above embodiments within the essential scope of the present application fall within the scope of the present application.
