[0037] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0038] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.

[0039] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0040] Figure 1A schematic diagram of the material handling device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a material handling device 100. The material handling device 100 of this utility model includes a base 10, a carrier mechanism, a material handling mechanism 30, and a conveying mechanism 40. The carrier mechanism includes a first carrier 21, a flipping component, and a fixed base 23. The fixed base 23 and the flipping component are both disposed on the base 10. The first carrier 21 is disposed on the fixed base 23 and is used to carry a material tray 200. The flipping component is located on one side of the first carrier 21 and can be connected to the material tray 200 to flip the material tray 200. The material handling mechanism 30 is disposed on the base 10 and is used to pick up materials from the material tray 200. The conveying mechanism 40 includes a connected conveying component and a driving component. Both the conveying component and the driving component are disposed on the base 10. The material handling mechanism 30 can place materials on the conveying component and convey the materials located on the conveying component through the driving component.

[0041] By using the material handling device 100 in this technical solution, the base 10 is used to support and fix the carrier mechanism, the material handling mechanism 30 and the conveying mechanism 40 respectively. The flipping component can flip the first carrier 21 so that the material handling mechanism 30 can pick up the material on the tray 200 from both sides of the first carrier 21. The picked-up material is placed on the conveying component by the material handling mechanism 30 and conveyed to the corresponding subsequent work station by the driving component. This utility model can flip the tray 200 on the first carrier 21 by the flipping mechanism and pick up the material on both sides of the tray 200 by the material handling mechanism 30 and move it to the conveying component for conveying, thereby improving the automation level of the material handling device 100 and improving the material handling efficiency and operation efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly includes two flipping members 221. Along the material conveying direction, the two flipping members 221 are positioned on opposite sides of the first carrier 21. The first carrier 21 is movable along a first direction. Each of the two flipping members 221 has a rotating shaft 22111 on its side facing the first carrier 21. The two flipping members 221 are movable relative to each other, so that the two rotating shafts 22111 are connected to both ends of the material tray 200. Each rotating shaft 22111 is movable around its own axis, allowing the material tray 200 to be flipped 180°. The first direction is perpendicular to the material conveying direction. In this embodiment, along the material conveying direction, the first carrier 21 is located between the two flipping members 221, and the two flipping members 221 are movable relative to each other. The material tray 200 on the first carrier 21 can be connected via the rotating shafts 22111 of the two flipping members 221. In this embodiment, the material tray 200 has positioning parts at both ends along the material conveying direction for connection with the rotating shafts 22111. In this embodiment, the first direction is the length direction of the base 10, and the material conveying direction is the width direction of the base 10.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slide rail is provided on the fixed base, and the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 are respectively slidably engaged with the slide rail.

[0044] Specifically, after the rotating shaft 22111 is connected to the positioning part, the first carrier 21 moves away along the first direction to prevent interference with the flipping of the material tray 200. Then, the rotation of the rotating shaft 22111 drives the rotation of the entire material tray 200, thereby realizing the flipping function. Finally, the first carrier 21 is moved back along the first direction to support the flipped first carrier 21.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping component 221 includes a first support base 2212 and a drive motor 2211. The drive motor 2211 is mounted on the first support base 2212 and can move relative to the first carrier 21. A rotating shaft 22111 is provided on the side of the drive motor 2211 facing the first carrier 21, and the drive motor 2211 can drive the rotating shaft 22111 to rotate along its own axis. In this embodiment, the first support base 2212 can provide fixed support for the drive motor 2211, and the drive motor 2211 can move towards the first carrier 21 and cooperate with the material tray 200 through the rotating shaft 22111, thereby driving the material tray 200 to perform a flipping operation.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the flipping component 221 also includes a connecting plate 2213 and a gripper 2214. The connecting plate 2213 has an opening, and the rotating shaft 22111 passes through the opening and protrudes outwards to facilitate cooperation with the positioning part on the material tray 200. The gripper 2214 is located on the side of the connecting plate 2213 facing the first carrier 21 and is used to grip the material tray 200. The rotating shaft 22111 can drive both the connecting plate 2213 and the gripper 2214 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 22111. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 2213 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 22111 and can rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 22111. The connecting plate 2213 is also provided with a gripper 2214. The gripper 2214 includes a connected driving part and two gripper parts. The driving part is a motor or a cylinder. The two gripper parts are spaced apart along the second direction and can move relative to each other or away from each other. The driving part can drive the two gripper parts to move relative to each other, thereby realizing the gripping of the material tray 200. Along the second direction, the material tray 200 is located between the two gripper parts.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping assembly also includes a second support base 223 and a lifting member. Both the second support base 223 and the lifting member are located at the bottom end of the first carrier 21. The lifting member is connected to the second support base 223 and can move along the second direction. It can also pass through the first carrier 21 and lift the material tray 200. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to the material conveying direction. In this embodiment, two fixed bases 23 are provided. The two ends of the first carrier 21 along the material conveying direction are respectively slidably engaged with the two fixed bases 23, which allows the first carrier 21 to move along the first direction. The first carrier 21 is provided with a through hole for the lifting member to pass through the first carrier 21 along the second direction. The lifting member can lift the material tray 200 on the first carrier 21. Then, through the relative movement of the two flipping members 221, the material tray 200 can be positioned. Then, the material tray 200 is fixed by the gripper 2214, which can stably flip the material tray 200 by 180°. In this embodiment, the second direction is the height direction of the base 10.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, two through holes are provided, spaced apart along the material conveying direction, and each through hole corresponds to a positioning part in the second direction. The lifting member includes a first lifting part 2221, a second lifting part 2222, a connecting part 2223, and a base part. The two ends of the connecting part 2223 along the material conveying direction are respectively connected to the first lifting part 2221 and the second lifting part 2222. The first lifting part 2221 and the second lifting part 2222 are both located on the side of the connecting part 2223 facing the first carrier 21. The connecting part 2223 is connected to the base part and can move along the second direction. Among them, the first lifting part 2221 and the second lifting part 2222 are respectively provided with a slot 22211 on the side away from the connecting part 2223 for cooperating with the positioning part of the material tray 200.

[0049] Specifically, the flipping operation in this embodiment is as follows: the lifting member moves along the second direction, so that the first lifting part 2221 and the second lifting part 2222 respectively pass through two through holes, and then the two slots 22211 respectively engage with the two positioning parts of the tray 200, causing the tray 200 to rise along the second direction until it is at the same height as the rotation shaft 22111 of the flipping member 221. Then the two flipping members 221 move toward the tray 200 until the rotation shaft 22111 engages with the positioning part, then the gripper 2214 grips the tray 200, and the lifting member retracts, and then the flipping operation is performed. After flipping, the lifting member lifts up to support the tray 200, and then lowers again to return the tray 200 to the first carrier 21.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a first conveyor 41, a second conveyor 42, a first lifting member 43, and a second lifting member 44. The conveying direction of the first conveyor 41 is opposite to that of the second conveyor 42, and the first and second conveyors 41 and 42 are spaced apart along a second direction. The lifting directions of the first lifting member 43 and 44 are opposite, and the first and second lifting members 43 and 44 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 41. The material can be circulated among the first conveyor 41, the first lifting member 43, the second conveyor 42, and the second lifting member 44. The second direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 41. In this embodiment, after the material picking mechanism 30 picks up the material from the material tray 200, it places it on the first conveyor 41 or the second conveyor 42. Then, the material can be sequentially circulated among the first conveyor 41, the first lifting member 43, the second conveyor 42, and the second lifting member 44. During the circulated conveying process, the operator can pick up or inspect the material.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material conveying direction can be the conveying direction of the first conveyor 41 or the conveying direction of the second conveyor 42. The material conveying direction includes the conveying directions of the first conveyor 41 and the second conveyor 42, which is a general term.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, both the first conveyor 41 and the second conveyor 42 include a first fixing part 412, a carrying part, and two conveying parts 411. The two conveying parts 411 are parallel and spaced apart on the first fixing part 412. The carrying part is disposed on the two conveying parts 411 and is used to carry materials. The conveying part 411 of the first conveyor 41 can drive the carrying part to move along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 41, and the conveying part 411 of the second conveyor 42 can drive the carrying part to move along the conveying direction of the second conveyor 42. In this embodiment, the outer surfaces of the first conveyor 41 and the second conveyor 42 can be covered with a conveyor belt, thereby realizing the conveying of the carrying part located on the first conveyor 41 and the second conveyor 42. The conveying assembly also includes a first driving component. The first conveyor 41 or the second conveyor 42 can each have two rollers, spaced apart in each conveyor belt. The first driving component can simultaneously drive the rollers of the two transmission components to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of the carrying part.

[0053] Specifically, each conveyor can be equipped with multiple carriers to accommodate multiple materials picked up by the material handling mechanism 30.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, both the first lifting member 43 and the second lifting member 44 are located between the two conveying sections 411, and each includes a second fixing section 433, a support section 431, and a rotating section 432. The support section 431 is disposed on the second fixing section 433 and can move along the second direction. The rotating section 432 is disposed on the support section 431 and can rotate around its own axis. The rotating section 432 of the first lifting member 43 is located between the two conveying sections 411 of the first conveyor 41, and the rotating section 432 of the second lifting member 44 is located between the two conveying sections 411 of the second conveyor 42. In this embodiment, the support section 431 can drive the rotating section 432 to move along the second direction, thereby lifting the bearing section on the first conveyor 41 or the second conveyor 42.

[0055] Because the length and width of the carrier are different, the length allows the carrier to abut against the two conveyor sections 411 respectively, while the smaller width allows the carrier to move between the two conveyor sections 411 along the second direction. Therefore, by rotating the carrier by 90° using the rotating part 432, the carrier of the first conveyor 41 can be moved to the position of the second conveyor 42, and then rotated again by 90° to place the carrier on the second conveyor 42. Alternatively, the carrier of the second conveyor 42 can be rotated by 90° and moved to the position of the first conveyor 41, and then rotated again by 90° to place the carrier on the first conveyor 41. This allows the material to be sequentially and cyclically conveyed between the first conveyor 41, the first lifting member 43, the second conveyor 42, and the second lifting member 44.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the support part 431 and the rotating part 432 lift the bearing part, the first conveyor 41 and the second conveyor 42 can stop at any time, thereby improving the stability of the lifting operation of the bearing part.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, a positioning pin 4321 is provided on the rotating part 432, and a positioning groove is provided at the bottom end of the bearing part. The positioning pin 4321 can be connected with the positioning groove to ensure the stability of the rotating part 432 when rotating relative to the bearing part.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, at least one detection component 451 is provided on the first conveyor 41 and / or the second conveyor 42. This component can be a laser sensor. The detection component 451 is connected to the two connecting parts through the support member 452. It can detect the position on the bearing part and thus obtain whether there is material on the bearing part and check whether there is residual material on the bearing part.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first conveyor 41 and / or the second conveyor 42 are equipped with an ion wind cleaning device 46, which can ensure the cleanliness of the materials on the carrier and prevent the tooling from contaminating the product.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2As shown, the carrier mechanism also includes a second carrier 24. The first carrier 21 is mounted on the fixed base 23, and both the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 are movable along a first direction. Along a second direction, the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 are spaced apart. The first direction, the second direction, and the material conveying direction are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 can move along the first direction. When the material in the tray 200 of the first carrier 21 is depleted, the positions of the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 can be directly interchanged, enabling the material-changing operation of the material-picking mechanism 30 without stopping the machine, thus improving the material-picking efficiency. In this embodiment, the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 are also spaced apart along the first direction, ensuring that they do not interfere with each other during material picking. The second carrier 24 is provided with a through hole for the lifting member to pass through the second carrier 24 in the second direction. The lifting member can lift the material tray 200 on the second carrier 24. Then, through the relative movement of the two flipping members 221, the material tray 200 can be positioned. Then, the material tray 200 is fixed by the gripper 2214, so that the material tray 200 can be stably flipped 180°.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 have detection elements that can determine whether the tray 200 is fixed by the fixing bolts. After the program determines that the tray 200 has been removed by the fixing bolts, it executes the program to flip the tray 200.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material handling mechanism 30 includes a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31, a position detection component 34, a first detection camera 32, and a material handling component 33. The material handling component 33 is located at the head end of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31 and is used to pick up materials from the material tray 200. The position detection component 34 is located on one side of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31 and is used to detect the flatness of the materials on the material tray 200. The first detection camera 32 is located on one side of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31 and is used to take pictures of the materials, specifically individual pieces, and to guide the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31 in position correction. In this embodiment, the position detection component 34 can be a laser displacement sensor, which measures the flatness of the materials on the tray at a fixed point before the material handling mechanism 30 picks up the materials. If the flatness is unqualified, the material handling device 100 will issue an alarm.

[0063] Specifically, the material picking component 33 can be a gripper 2214 or a suction nozzle, etc., which can pick up the material on the material tray 200. At the same time, multiple material picking components 33 can be set to achieve the picking of multiple materials, thereby improving the material picking efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the material handling device 100 also includes a detection mechanism 50, comprising a bracket 53, a supplementary lighting element 52, and a second detection camera 51. The bracket 53 is mounted on the base 10, and the supplementary lighting element 52 and the second detection camera 51 are mounted on the same side of the bracket 53. The supplementary lighting element 52 is spaced apart at the top of the second detection camera 51, which faces the first carrier 21. The supplementary lighting element 52 can be a light source to illuminate the material. The second detection camera 51 is used to take another picture of the material located on the material tray 200, further measuring the flatness of the material tray 200 before material handling. If the flatness is unqualified, the material handling device 100 will issue an alarm.

[0065] Further, in this embodiment, the operation process of the material handling device 100 is as follows: the operator first fixes the two material trays 200 on the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24, and moves the first carrier 21 to a position close to the conveying mechanism 40. Then, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 31 drives the material handling component 33 to pick up the material from the material trays 200 on the first carrier 21, and then moves the material to the bearing part of the first conveyor 41. Then, the material moves along the conveying direction of the first conveyor 41. When it is about to reach the end of the first conveyor 41, the first lifting component 43 lifts the bearing part, then rotates it 90° to achieve rotation, and then lowers the bearing part through the first lifting component 43. Then, it rotates it 90° to place the bearing part on the second conveyor 42, and then it is conveyed on the second conveyor 42. When it reaches the end of the second conveyor 42, the bearing part of the second conveyor 42 is transferred to the first conveyor 41 by the second lifting component 44 using the above method, thereby realizing the cyclic conveying of the conveying mechanism 40.

[0066] Specifically, when the material in the tray 200 of the first carrier 21 is taken out, it first moves between the two flipping parts 221, lifts the tray 200 by the lifting part, flips the tray 200 by the two flipping parts 221, and places it back on the first carrier 21. Then it moves to a position close to the conveying mechanism 40 to flip the tray 200 and continue to take the material on the other side of the tray 200.

[0067] Specifically, when all the material in the tray 200 of the first carrier 21 is taken out, the positions of the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 24 are interchanged to achieve material replacement without stopping the machine, and the material taking mechanism 30 takes out the material in the tray 200 of the second carrier 24 in sequence.

[0068] Furthermore, this material handling device 100 enables automatic picking up and automatic flipping of materials over a large area on the umbrella tray, greatly improving work efficiency. Meanwhile, the umbrella tray weighs approximately 10kg, and the automatic flipping function reduces the workload of operators. The material handling device 100 also allows for material feeding without stopping the machine, greatly ensuring the utilization efficiency of the equipment.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
