DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples as follows:

[0031] In the utility model, the terms "inner", "top", "bottom", "transverse", "longitudinal" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the attached Figure 1 The orientation or positional relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the utility model, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0032] The movable upper and lower feeding suction disc manipulator, such as Figure 1As shown, it comprises a mechanical arm 2, a suction cup gripper 1 and a support body; the support body comprises a support table 3 in the middle and storage frames 4 on both sides of the support table 3 in the transverse direction, one of the storage frames 4 is a storage frame for feeding, and the other storage frame 4 is a storage frame for discharging; during work, the mechanical arm 2 drives the suction cup gripper 1 to move to the storage frame for feeding, the suction cup gripper 1 sucks the printed electronic board 10 in the storage frame for feeding, then the mechanical arm 2 drives the suction cup gripper 1 to move to the corresponding position of the milling machine, the printed electronic board 10 is placed on the milling machine for processing, the processed printed electronic board 10 is sucked by the suction cup gripper 1, and the suction cup gripper 1 is placed in the storage frame for discharging by the mechanical arm 2. In this way, a plurality of printed electronic boards 10 can be stacked in the storage frame for feeding for processing, and after processing, the feeding and discharging suction cup mechanical hand is moved to the next station for processing.

[0033] The storage frame 4 comprises a storage tray 41 for placing the printed electronic board 10 and a fence 43 surrounding the periphery of the storage tray 41, and the bottom surface of the storage tray 41 is provided with reinforcing ribs; a pair of limiting grippers 42 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the storage tray 41 in the longitudinal direction, and the limiting grippers 42 are located in the surrounding area of the fence 43, and the two pairs of limiting grippers 42 are driven by a guide mechanism to move linearly close to or away from each other. The top surface of the storage tray 41 is a horizontal surface, which is convenient for placing the printed electronic board 10 and keeps the printed electronic board 10 flat, facilitating the suction cup gripper 1 to suck. The limiting grippers 42 arranged at the front and rear ends are used to limit the printed electronic board 10 placed on the storage tray 41, to ensure the accurate position of the printed electronic board 10 on the storage tray 41, so that the position of the printed electronic board 10 sucked by the suction cup gripper 1 is more accurate, thereby the position of the printed electronic board 10 placed on the milling machine by the suction cup gripper 1 is more accurate, reducing the problems of placement deviation and uneven stress of the printed electronic board. The two pairs of limiting grippers 42 are driven by the guide mechanism to move linearly close to or away from each other, which not only can be used to limit the printed electronic board 10, but also can be adjusted to adapt to different specifications of the board clamped on the storage tray 41, and the adaptability is better. For example, when the two pairs of limiting grippers 42 are close to each other, the distance between them is reduced, which is suitable for printed electronic boards 10 with smaller width; when the two pairs of limiting grippers 42 are away from each other, the distance between them is increased, which is suitable for wider printed electronic boards 10.

[0034] The base of the mechanical arm 2 is fixed on the support table 3; the suction cup gripper 1 is fixed on the end of the mechanical arm 2; the mechanical arm 2 drives the suction cup gripper 1 to suck the printed electronic board 10 in the storage frame 4.

[0035] The support table 3 is provided with a power supply for supplying power to the electrical components of the mechanical arm 2 and the like.

[0036] The gear and rack structure can be directly used as the guide mechanism to realize the adjustment of the limiting gripper 42. In the embodiment, the limiting gripper 42 is preferably in L shape, including a limiting section 420 and a mounting section 421, and the end of the mounting section 421 is provided with a mounting block 422, and the top surface of the mounting block 422 is vertically fixed with a clamping rod 423. The guide mechanism includes a guide rail 5 and a tightening plate 6; the mounting section 421 is longitudinally arranged on the bottom surface of the storage tray 41; the guide rail 5 is movably connected with the through hole on the mounting block 422 along the axial direction, and the two ends of the guide rail 5 are mounted on the bottom surface of the storage tray 41. After mounting, the limiting section 420 extends vertically upward, which surrounds the outer periphery of the storage tray 41 and mainly plays a limiting role. The mounting section 421 and the mounting block 422 are both located below the storage tray 41 and do not occupy the mounting space of the printed electronic board 10. The guide rail 5 plays a guiding role in the movement of the limiting gripper 42, so that the limiting gripper 42 moves along the guide rail 5. In the embodiment, two guide rails 5 are arranged side by side, which not only determines the linear motion track of the limiting gripper 42, but also avoids the rotation of the limiting gripper 42 around the guide rail 5. Of course, three guide rails 5 or more can also be arranged, but the more the number is, the higher the cost is, and the more complex the structure is.

[0037] As shown in Figure 6 , the tightening plate 6 is provided with two long holes 61 arranged in front and back, and the two long holes 61 are distributed in an eight-character shape. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the tightening plate 6 is located between the storage tray 41 and the mounting section 421, the clamping rod 423 of the limiting gripper 42 located at the rear side is inserted into the long hole 61 at the rear side of the tightening plate 6, and the clamping rod 423 of the limiting gripper 42 located at the front side is inserted into the long hole 61 at the front side of the tightening plate 6; the clamping rod 423 movably cooperates with the long hole 61 along the extension direction of the long hole 61. During use, one of the limiting grippers 42 is moved, and under the interaction of the long hole 61 of the tightening plate 6 and the clamping rod 423, the two limiting grippers 42 will move at the same time. This structure is simple, convenient to operate, and one of the limiting grippers 42 can be manually pushed.

[0038] The limiting section 420 and the mounting section 421 of the limiting gripper 42 can be wide plates with a certain width in the longitudinal direction. In order to save materials and reduce the overall weight, the limiting section 420 and the mounting section 421 of the limiting gripper 42 are preferably two gripping fingers 42A, as shown in Figure 5 , there is a space between the two gripping fingers 42A, and the ends of the mounting sections 421 of the two gripping fingers 42A are connected through a mounting block 422. In this way, the two gripping fingers 42A achieve the limiting effect of the wide plate, and at the same time, the materials consumed by the space between the two gripping fingers 42A are saved.

[0039] The guide rail 5 is located between the two gripping fingers 42A in the transverse direction. Compared with the guide rail 5 being arranged outside the gripping fingers 42A, the structure is simpler and more compact.

[0040] In order to facilitate the fixation of the movable feeding and discharging suction gripper to the machine tool for use, and reduce the influence of vibration during feeding and discharging, preferably, two recessed mounting cavities are arranged on the front side of the support table 3 in the longitudinal direction, the two mounting cavities are arranged left and right along the support table 3, and a retractable connecting rod 7 for fixation to the machine tool is arranged in each mounting cavity. The connecting rod 7 can be a hydraulic or pneumatic control piston rod.

[0041] In order to facilitate the movement of the movable feeding and discharging suction gripper, an automatic guided vehicle 8 is arranged to carry the support table 3. The automatic guided vehicle 8 can carry the support body, the mechanical arm 2 and the suction gripper 1 to move to the corresponding position for feeding and discharging.

[0042] In order to meet the height position requirement of feeding and discharging, preferably, a lifting platform is arranged on the top of the automatic guided vehicle 8, and the support table 3 is supported on the lifting platform. The height position of the support body can be adjusted by the lifting platform on the top of the automatic guided vehicle 8 to adapt to the height position requirement of feeding and discharging. The lifting platform can be a hydraulic jack structure.

[0043] In order to further improve the stability and reliability of feeding and discharging, a plurality of retractable support columns 9 are arranged at the bottom of the storage frame 4. When the support body is lifted into position by the lifting platform on the top of the automatic guided vehicle 8, the retractable support columns at the bottom of the support body are supported by the retractable support columns 9, then the connecting rod 7 is extended and fixedly connected to the machine tool, and finally, feeding and discharging is performed.

[0044] Although the present application is described herein with reference to the embodiments, the above embodiments are only general embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited by the above embodiments. It should be understood that any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
