The boat-moving module drives the boat-lifting module to move between the insert / unload device and the temporary storage rack outside the purification device, and synchronously drives the boat-moving grippers to move. The boat-lifting module drives the boat-moving grippers to reciprocate along the Z-axis, with the Z-axis, X-axis, and Y-axis intersecting in pairs.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0030] The terms “top,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only.
[0031] The terms “first”, “second”, etc., are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the quantity, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0033] Generally, sheet materials need to be supported by carrier boats, and multiple carrier boats are placed together in the reactor so that the reactor can react with the sheet materials.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, including a loading / unloading system 13, a purification device 11, and a processing device 12. The loading / unloading system 13, purification device 11, and processing device 12 are sequentially distributed along the Y-axis. The processing device 12 is used to process sheets, the loading / unloading system 13 is used to transport the sheets, and the purification device 11 is used to store the sheets and transfer them between the loading / unloading system 13 and the processing device 12. The loading / unloading system 13 transports the sheets to be processed to the purification device 11, which then transfers the sheets into the processing device 12 for processing. After the processing device 12 completes the processing, the purification device 11 removes the sheets from the processing device 12 and stores the processed sheets to allow them to cool. The loading / unloading system 13 then outputs the processed sheets from the purification device 11, and then transports the sheets to be processed back to the purification device 11, repeating this cycle to achieve automated sheet processing.
[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The purification device 11 includes a frame 111 and a temporary storage rack 113 for supporting the carrier boat 20. The frame 111 has a length direction, a width direction and a height direction. The Y-axis is parallel to the length direction of the frame 111, the X-axis is parallel to the width direction, and the Z-axis is parallel to the height direction of the frame 111. The Z-axis, Y-axis and X-axis intersect each other.
[0036] In some embodiments, the Z-axis, Y-axis, and X-axis are perpendicular to each other, the X-axis and Y-axis are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the positive direction of the Z-axis is the direction in which gravity is vertically upward.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A boat loading and unloading area 1111 is provided on the outer side of the frame 111 along the X-axis. The temporary storage rack 113 can move the carrier boat 20 carrying the processed sheet material inside the frame 111 to the outer side of the frame 111 along the X-axis, so that the loading and unloading system 13 can pick up the carrier boat 20 carrying the processed sheet material in the boat loading and unloading area 1111. The loading and unloading system 13 then releases the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed onto the temporary storage rack 113 in the boat loading and unloading area 1111. The temporary storage rack 113 then moves the carrier boat 20 into the frame 111, thereby realizing the loading and unloading of the purification device 11 by the loading and unloading system 13. By moving the sheet material to one side of the frame 111 along the X-axis (i.e., to one side of the frame 111 in the width direction) via the temporary storage rack 113, compared to moving it to the side of the frame 111 away from the processing device 12 along the Y-axis (i.e., to one side of the frame 111 in the length direction), the space occupied by the temporary storage rack 113 and the frame 111 in the Y-axis direction is reduced. This allows the loading and unloading system 13 to be closer to the purification device 11, which helps to shorten the length of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 in the Y-axis direction. At the same time, moving the sheet material to one side of the frame 111 along the X-axis via the temporary storage rack 113 also shortens the moving distance of the temporary storage rack 113. Thus, while keeping the movement speed of the temporary storage rack 113 constant, it helps to shorten the time it takes for the temporary storage rack 113 to move the sheet material, thereby improving the working efficiency of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.
[0038] It should be noted that both the flower basket 30 and the carrying boat 20 are carriers. In general transportation, storage or sales, the flower basket 30 is required to carry the sheet material.
[0039] In some embodiments, the carrier boat 20 is part of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.
[0040] In some embodiments, the carrier boat 20 is made of graphite or quartz to reduce the risk of the carrier boat 20 being damaged by the reaction of the reactants.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The loading and unloading system 13 includes a basket-moving mechanism 136, a basket conveying device 131, a sheet insertion and unloading device 132, and a boat-moving mechanism 137. The basket conveying device 131 is used to transport baskets 30 carrying sheets to input the baskets 30 carrying the sheets to be processed into the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, and to output the baskets 30 carrying the processed sheets out of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10, so that the sheets can enter the next processing step. The sheet insertion and unloading device 132 is used to transfer the sheets between the baskets 30 and the carrying boat 20. The basket-moving mechanism 136 is used to transfer the baskets 30 between the basket insertion and unloading device 132 and the basket conveying device 131. The boat-moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrying boat 20 between the basket insertion and unloading device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11, thereby realizing the input or output of sheets to the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.
[0042] In some embodiments, the flower basket conveying device 131, the flower basket moving mechanism 136, and the sheet inserting and unloading device 132 are sequentially distributed along the Y-axis direction, with the sheet inserting and unloading device 132 located between the purification device 11 and the flower basket moving mechanism 136. The flower basket conveying device 131 conveys the flower basket 30 carrying the sheet material along the Y-axis direction. The sheet inserting and unloading device 132 is provided with a station for carrying the carrier boat 20. The carrier boat moving mechanism 137 extends along the line connecting the station for carrying the carrier boat 20 on the sheet inserting and unloading device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11, and is arranged at an angle to the sheet inserting and unloading device 132 to form a semi-enclosed space (not shown). The purification device 11 is located within the semi-enclosed space. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 The boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on one side of the purification device 11 in the negative X-axis direction and on one side of the insert and unload device 132 in the negative Y-axis direction. The boat-moving mechanism 137 also moves the temporary storage rack 113 along the Y-axis direction.
[0043] The flower basket conveying device 131, the flower basket moving mechanism 136, and the inserting and unloading device 132 are arranged sequentially along the Y-axis direction. The inserting and unloading device 132 and the boat moving mechanism 137 are arranged in an L-shape and are arranged around the outer periphery of the purification device 11. This allows the boat moving mechanism 137 to load and unload materials on one side of the frame 111 along the X-axis direction, making the distribution of the loading and unloading system 13 and the frame 111 more compact. This not only shortens the movement distance of the flower basket 30 and the carrying boat 20, but also helps to shorten the length of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 in the Y-axis direction, greatly reducing the space occupied by the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10.
[0044] In other embodiments, the arrangement of the flower basket conveying device 131, the flower basket moving mechanism 136, and the inserting and unloading device 132 is not limited, as long as each component can work normally.
[0045] In some embodiments, the boat-moving mechanism 137 at least partially overlaps with the insert / unload device 132 along the Y-axis direction and at least partially overlaps with the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11 along the X-axis direction, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can approach the insert / unload device 132 and the temporary storage rack 113 respectively, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can acquire or release the carrier boat 20 from the temporary storage rack 113 and the insert / unload device 132 respectively.
[0046] In other embodiments, the boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on the outer side of the insert / unload device 132 along the Y-axis direction, or the boat-moving mechanism 137 is located on the outer side of the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11 along the X-axis direction. During operation, the working end of the boat-moving mechanism 137 extends and retracts towards the insert / unload device 132 or the temporary storage rack 113, which can also achieve the effect of the boat-moving mechanism 137 acquiring or releasing the carrying boat 20 in the temporary storage rack 113 and the insert / unload device 132 respectively.
[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The flower basket conveying device 131 includes a loading conveying assembly 1311 and a unloading conveying assembly 1312, which are sequentially distributed along the X-axis. The loading conveying assembly 1311, the unloading conveying assembly 1312, and the waste conveying assembly 1313 all extend along the Y-axis. During operation, the loading conveying assembly 1311 uses a flower basket handling mechanism 136 to transport the flower basket 30 containing the sheet material to be processed, facilitating its transfer to the sheet insertion / unloading device 132. The flower basket handling mechanism 136 then transfers the processed flower basket 30 from the sheet insertion / unloading device 132 to the unloading conveying assembly 1312, which then conveys the processed flower basket 30 outwards, thus completing the loading and unloading process for the flower basket 30.
[0048] Understandably, when the sheet material to be processed or the processed sheet material is damaged, the basket-moving mechanism 136 will directly transfer the basket 30 carrying the damaged sheet material from the feeding conveying assembly 1311 or the sheet insertion and unloading device 132 to the waste conveying assembly 1313. The waste conveying assembly 1313 will then transport the basket 30 carrying the damaged sheet material to a designated location so that the staff can inspect the damaged sheet material.
[0049] In some embodiments, the sheet is inspected using visual recognition devices such as a CCD camera or manually to determine whether the sheet is damaged.
[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The number of feeding conveyor 1311, unloading conveyor 1312 and waste conveyor 1313 are all two or more. All feeding conveyor 1311 are spaced apart along the X-axis, all unloading conveyor 1312 are spaced apart along the X-axis, and all waste conveyor 1313 are spaced apart along the X-axis. Increasing the number of feeding conveyor 1311, unloading conveyor 1312 and waste conveyor 1313 helps to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading the basket 30.
[0051] In some embodiments, the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 is located between the unloading conveyor assembly 1312 and the waste conveyor assembly 1313, the unloading conveyor assembly 1312 is located between the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 and the waste conveyor assembly 1313, or the waste conveyor assembly 1313 is located between the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 and the unloading conveyor assembly 1312.
[0052] In some embodiments, the flower basket moving mechanism 136 is a multi-axis robotic arm. The flower basket moving mechanism 136 is arranged opposite to the middle conveying component among the feeding conveying component 1311, the unloading conveying component 1312, and the waste conveying component 1313 along the Y-axis direction, so as to reduce the distance between the flower basket moving mechanism 136 and the conveying components on both sides, thereby improving the efficiency of the flower basket moving mechanism in acquiring the flower basket 30 in the feeding conveying component 1311 and releasing the flower basket 30 in the unloading conveying component 1312 and the waste conveying component 1313.
[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 When there are two or more feeding conveying components 1311, the flower basket conveying device 131 also includes a transfer component 1314. The transfer component 1314 is located on the side of all feeding conveying components 1311, unloading conveying components 1312, and waste conveying components 1313 facing the flower basket moving mechanism 136, and the transfer component 1314 extends from the X-axis direction. The transfer component 1314 sequentially carries the flower baskets 30 conveyed by the flower basket moving mechanism 136 and moves the flower baskets 30 along the X-axis direction toward the unloading conveying component 1312 or the waste conveying component 1313. Compared to the larger flower basket moving mechanism 136, which can extend to the unloading conveying component 1312 or the waste conveying component 1313 to release the flower basket 30, the flower basket 30 can be conveyed along the X-axis direction to the unloading conveying component 1312 or the waste conveying component 1313 via the transfer component 1314. This allows the smaller flower basket moving mechanism 136 to release the flower basket 30 to multiple unloading conveying components 1312 or multiple waste conveying components 1313, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the flower basket moving mechanism 136 itself and the work required, making the structure of the loading and unloading system 13 more compact.
[0054] It is understandable that when the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 is located between the unloading conveyor assembly 1312 and the waste conveyor assembly 1313, the basket-moving mechanism 136 is located on one side of the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 along the Y-axis. By positioning the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 between the unloading conveyor assembly 1312 and the waste conveyor assembly 1313, the transfer assembly 1314 can move towards the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 via the basket-moving mechanism 136 to obtain the basket 30. This satisfies the requirement that after the basket-moving mechanism 136 releases the basket 30 to the transfer assembly 1314, it continues to move towards the feeding conveyor assembly 1311 in a straight line. This helps to shorten the moving distance of the basket-moving mechanism 136, thereby improving the efficiency of the basket-moving mechanism 136 in obtaining or releasing the basket 30 in the basket conveyor device 131. Furthermore, when the basket-moving mechanism 136... The flower basket 30 is released to the transfer component 1314. Since the flower basket 30 is located between the feeding conveyor component 1312 and the waste conveyor component 1313, the transfer component 1314 transports the flower basket 30 to the feeding conveyor component 1312 and the waste conveyor component 1313 at equal distances. This avoids the transfer component 1314 needing to transport the flower basket 30 through the feeding conveyor component 1312 to the waste conveyor component 1313, or needing to transport the flower basket 30 through the waste conveyor component 1313 to the feeding conveyor component 1312, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of the transfer component 1314 in moving the flower basket 30.
[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The insert and unload device 132 includes at least one basket conveying assembly 1321, at least one carrier boat conveying assembly 1325, and an insert and unload mechanism 133. The basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 are distributed along the X-axis direction. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is closer to the boat pick-up and drop area 1111 relative to the basket conveying assembly 1321 to shorten the distance between the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 and the boat pick-up and drop area 1111, so as to facilitate the boat moving mechanism 137 to quickly transfer the carrier boat 20 between the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 and the temporary storage rack 113 in the boat pick-up and drop area 1111.
[0056] Each flower basket conveying assembly 1321 has a first end 1323 and a second end 1324 opposite each other along the Y-axis, with the first end 1323 close to the flower basket moving mechanism 136. Each carrying boat conveying assembly 1325 has a third end 1326 and a fourth end 1327 opposite each other along the Y-axis, with the third end 1326 close to the flower basket moving mechanism 136 relative to the fourth end 1327. Along the X-axis, the third end 1326 coincides with the second end 1324. The inserting and unloading mechanism 133 extends along the X-axis and is located above all the second ends 1324 and all the third ends 1326. A portion of the carrying boat mechanism 137 can be located above all the fourth ends 1327.
[0057] During operation, the flower basket moving mechanism 136 transfers the flower basket 30 from the feeding conveying component 1311 to the first end 1323, the flower basket conveying component 1321 conveys the flower basket 30 from the first end 1323 to the second end 1324, and at the same time, the carrying boat conveying component 1325 conveys the carrying boat 20 from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326. The sheet insertion and unloading mechanism 133 transfers the sheet to be processed from the flower basket 30 at the second end 1324 to the carrying boat 20 at the third end 1326, the carrying boat conveying component 1325 conveys the carrying boat 20 from the third end 1326 to the fourth end 1327, and the boat moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrying boat 20 from the fourth end 1327 to the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11, so as to realize the feeding of the purification device 11.
[0058] The boat-moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat 20, which is being processed, from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11 to the fourth end 1327. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 conveys the carrier boat 20 from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326. The sheet-unloading mechanism 133 transfers the processed sheet from the carrier boat 20 at the third end 1326 to the basket 30 at the second end 1324. The basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the basket 30 from the second end 1324 to the first end 1323. The basket-moving mechanism 136 transfers the basket 30 from the first end 1323 to the unloading conveying assembly 1312 or the waste conveying assembly 1313, thereby realizing the unloading of the purification device 11. This process is repeated to achieve the function of automatic loading and unloading of the purification device 11.
[0059] It is understandable that by positioning the insert / unload mechanism 133 above the basket conveyor assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325, and the boat-moving mechanism 137 above the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 and the temporary storage rack 113, and by setting the insert / unload mechanism 133, the basket conveyor assembly 1321, the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 on the same horizontal plane, it helps to improve the space utilization of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 and makes the structure of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 more compact.
[0060] Meanwhile, the basket conveying assembly 1321 has a first end 1323 and a second end 1324, and the carrying boat conveying assembly 1325 has a third end 1326 and a fourth end 1327, with the third end 1326 and the second end 1324 coinciding in the X-axis direction. This makes the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 L-shapedly distributed along the X-axis and Y-axis directions. This ensures that the moving paths of the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 coincide with the carrying boat conveying assembly 1325, and that the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 and the boat-moving mechanism 137 are staggered, thereby reducing the space occupied by the inserting and unloading device 132 and the boat-moving mechanism 137.
[0061] In other embodiments, the insert / unload mechanism 133 is located on one side of the basket conveyor assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveyor assembly 1325 in the horizontal direction.
[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The number of flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 is two or more, and the two or more flower basket conveying assemblies 1321 alternately convey the flower basket 30 to the underside of the insert and unload mechanism 133. The number of carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 is two or more, and the two or more carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 alternately convey the carrier boat 20 to the underside of the insert and unload mechanism 133, thereby increasing the frequency at which the carrier boat 20 and the flower basket 30 are located under the insert and unload mechanism 133, so that the insert and unload mechanism 133 can continuously transfer the sheet between the carrier boat 20 and the flower basket 30.
[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 include a conveying slide rail 1328 and a platform 1329. The conveying slide rail 1328 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 (hereinafter referred to as the first conveying slide rail 1328) extends along the X-axis direction. The two ends of each first conveying slide rail 1328 correspond to the first end 1323 and the second end 1324, respectively. The platform 1329 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 (hereinafter referred to as the first platform 1329) is slidably connected to the first conveying slide rail 1328. The flower basket 30 is carried by the first platform 1329 and transferred between the first end 1323 and the second end 1324, so as to realize the transfer of the flower basket 30 between the insert and unload mechanism 133 and the flower basket moving mechanism 136 by the flower basket conveying assembly 1321.
[0064] Similarly, the conveying slide rail 1328 (hereinafter referred to as the second conveying slide rail 1328) of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 extends along the X-axis direction. The two ends of each second conveying slide rail 1328 correspond to the third end 1326 and the fourth end 1327, respectively. The platform 1329 (hereinafter referred to as the second platform 1329) of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is slidably connected to the second conveying slide rail 1328. The carrier boat 20 is carried by the second platform 1329 and transferred between the third end 1326 and the fourth end 1327, so as to realize the transfer of the carrier boat 20 between the carrier boat moving mechanism 137 and the inserting and unloading mechanism 133 by the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325.
[0065] Furthermore, both the first platform 1329 and the second platform 1329 are equipped with clamping components (not labeled). When the flower basket 30 or the carrier boat 20 is placed on the corresponding platform 1329, the clamping components clamp and fix the flower basket 30 or the carrier boat 20 to improve the stability of the flower basket 30 or the carrier boat 20 on the platform 1329, thereby improving the accuracy of the insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 in releasing or acquiring sheet material from the flower basket 30 (carrier boat 20).
[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The tablet insertion and unloading mechanism 133 includes a tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331, a tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332, and an adsorption assembly 1333. The tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332 is connected to the tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331, and the adsorption assembly 1333 is connected to the tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332. The tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331 extends along the X-axis and is located above the second end 1324 and the third end 1326. During operation, the tablet insertion and unloading moving module 1331 drives the tablet insertion and unloading lifting module 1332 to move between the second end 1324 and the third end 1326, and synchronously drives the adsorption assembly 1333 to move. When the adsorption component 1333 is directly above the second end 1324 or the third end 1326, the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 drives the adsorption component 1333 to descend, so that the adsorption component 1333 extends into the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20. The adsorption component 1333 releases or adsorbs the sheet in the carrier boat 20 or the basket 30. The insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 drives the adsorption component 1333 to rise. The insert and unload sheet moving module 1331 drives the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 to move in the opposite direction. This cycle is repeated to realize that the insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 continuously transfers the sheet between the basket 30 and the carrier boat 20.
[0067] When there are two flower basket conveying components 1321 and two carrier boat conveying components 1325, after the adsorption component 1333 releases the sheet at one of its second ends 1324 (third ends 1326), the adsorption component 1333 then picks up the sheet at the other second end 1324 (third ends 1326). The insert and unload sheet moving module 1331 drives the insert and unload sheet lifting module 1332 to move the adsorption component 1333, so that the adsorption component 1333 adsorbs the sheet during the movement between the second end 1324 and the third end 1326, thereby reducing the frequency of the adsorption component 1333 idling and enabling the adsorption component 1333 to continuously move the sheet, thereby improving the working efficiency of the insert and unload sheet mechanism 133.
[0068] Furthermore, the insert and unload mechanism 133 has two adsorption components 1333. The two adsorption components 1333 are slidably connected to the insert and unload lifting module 1332. The two adsorption components 1333 are staggered and separate or move closer together along the X-axis. When the number of basket conveying components 1321 is twice the number of carrier boat conveying components 1325, the two adsorption components 1333 can separate from each other and respectively pick up or release the sheet in the two baskets 30. The two adsorption components 1333 can also move closer together and pick up or release the sheet together in one carrier boat 20, thereby satisfying the function of the insert and unload mechanism 133 to load and unload the two baskets 30 and one carrier boat 20 in one working cycle.
[0069] Understandably, when the two adsorption components 1333 bring the sheets of the two flower baskets 30 closer together along the X-axis, one of the adsorption components 1333 also drives the sheet to move relative to the other adsorption component 1333 along the X-axis, so that the sheets of the two flower baskets 30 are misaligned.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 When there are four or more flower basket conveying assemblies 1321, the number of inserting and unloading mechanisms 133 is two or more. One inserting and unloading mechanism 133 corresponds to two flower basket conveying assemblies 1321. All inserting and unloading mechanisms 133 are distributed along the X-axis and move synchronously along the X-axis.
[0071] In some embodiments, when there are two insert and unload mechanisms 133, the two insert and unload mechanisms 133 can simultaneously acquire or release the processed sheet, or simultaneously acquire or release the sheet to be processed.
[0072] In some embodiments, the insert / unload device 132 further includes a top sheet mechanism 134. The top sheet mechanism 134 is vertically mounted below the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. When the first platform 1329 carries the flower basket 30 and moves to the second end 1324, or when the second platform 1329 carries the carrier boat 20 and moves to the third end 1326, the corresponding top sheet mechanism 134 can pass through the first platform 1329 (second platform 1329) and eject the sheet into the flower basket 30 (carrier boat 20) to facilitate the adsorption assembly 1333 in acquiring the sheet. Alternatively, the corresponding top sheet mechanism 134 can pass through the first platform 1329 (second platform 1329) and eject the sheet into the flower basket 30 (carrier boat 20). A platform 1329 (second platform 1329) supports the sheet released by the adsorption component 1333. The top plate mechanism 134 then supports the sheet to descend until the top plate mechanism 134 moves out of the basket 30 (carrying boat 20) to place the sheet inside the basket 30 (carrying boat 20). By supporting the sheet through the top plate mechanism 134, the adsorption component 1333 can release or retrieve the sheet outside the basket 30 (carrying boat 20), thereby reducing the risk of the adsorption component 1333 coming into contact with the basket 30 (carrying boat 20) and losing both of them.
[0073] Understandably, when the stage 1329 moves, the top plate mechanism 134 is located below the corresponding stage 1329 to reduce the risk of interference between the stage 1329 and the top plate mechanism 134.
[0074] In some embodiments, the platform 1329, the flower basket 30, and the support boat 20 are all hollowed out so that the top sheet mechanism 134 can pass through the platform 1329, the flower basket 30, and the support boat 20 to support the sheet.
[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 Each of the top sheet mechanisms 134 includes a lifting module 1341 and a pushing member 1342. The pushing member 1342 is connected to the lifting module 1341. The pushing member 1342 of the top sheet mechanism 134 is located below the corresponding flower basket conveying assembly 1321 or the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. When the flower basket 30 (carrier boat 20) moves to the second end 1324 (third end 1326), the lifting module 1341 drives the pushing member 1342 to move up and down, and at least part of the pushing member 1342 passes through the corresponding platform 1329, so that the pushing member 1342 pushes out the sheet material in the flower basket 30 (carrier boat 20), or supports the sheet material released by the adsorption assembly 1333.
[0076] The sheets in the carrier boat 20 of the flower basket 30 or the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 are all placed vertically and spaced apart along the Y-axis. In some embodiments, the top of the pusher 1342 is provided with multiple teeth (not labeled), all of which are spaced apart along the Y-axis. The space between two adjacent teeth is used to accommodate the sheets. When the pusher 1342 supports the sheets, the teeth isolate multiple sheets and limit the indirection between the sheets, so that the adsorption assembly 1333 can accurately pick up multiple sheets. At the same time, the multiple teeth limit the sheets when the adsorption assembly 1333 releases multiple sheets, so as to maintain the indirection between the sheets, thereby improving the accuracy of placing the sheets into the carrier boat 20 or the flower basket 30.
[0077] In some embodiments, the pusher 1342 corresponding to the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is different from the pusher 1342 corresponding to the flower basket conveying assembly 1321. The spacing of the teeth (hereinafter referred to as the first teeth) on the pusher 1342 corresponding to the flower basket 30 is smaller than the spacing of the teeth (hereinafter referred to as the second teeth) on the pusher 1342 corresponding to the carrier boat 20, and one sheet is accommodated between two adjacent first teeth, and two sheets are accommodated between adjacent second teeth, so that when two flower baskets 30 are correspondingly arranged with one carrier boat 20, one carrier boat 20 can accommodate the sheets of two flower baskets 30, or two flower baskets 30 can jointly accommodate the sheets of one carrier boat 20, realizing the function of different top sheet mechanisms 134 accurately supporting the sheets on the flower baskets 30 and the carrier boat 20 respectively.
[0078] In some embodiments, the top sheet mechanism 134 further includes a top sheet moving module (not shown), which is connected to the lifting module 1341. When there are two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, the pusher 1342 is located below the two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325. When the second platform 1329 of one of the carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the lifting module 1341 drives the pusher 1342 to pass through the second platform 1329 to support the sheet. When the other second platform 1329 moves to the fourth end 1327, the top plate moving module drives the lifting module 1341 and the pushing member 1342 to move along the Y-axis direction, and the pushing member 1342 is located below the other second platform 1329, so that the lifting module 1341 drives the pushing member 1342 to pass through the other second platform 1329 to support the sheet, so that one top plate mechanism 134 corresponds to two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, thereby helping to reduce the number of top plate mechanisms 134.
[0079] Similarly, when there are two flower basket conveying components 1321, the pusher 1342 is located below the two flower basket conveying components 1321, and through the above-mentioned action process, the pusher 1342 passes through the two first platforms 1329 support sheets respectively.
[0080] When the number of flower basket conveying components 1321 is twice that of the carrier boat conveying components 1325, a lifting module 1341 is connected to two jacking components 1342 to enable the lifting components to drive the two jacking components 1342 to rise and fall, and to make the two jacking components 1342 pass through the two first platforms 1329 at the same time.
[0081] In some embodiments, the insert / unload device 132 further includes a straightening mechanism 135 disposed above the basket conveying assembly 1321 and the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 (for ease of description, the straightening mechanism 135 corresponding to the basket conveying assembly 1321 is referred to as the first straightening mechanism 135, and the straightening mechanism 135 corresponding to the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 is referred to as the second straightening mechanism 135). The first straightening mechanism 135 is disposed above the first end 1323. The first straightening mechanism 135 is used to act on the sheet along the X-axis direction and guide the sheet moving in and out of the basket 30 along the Z-axis direction. When the top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the flower basket 30, the first straightening mechanism 135 limits the sheet to keep its position unchanged in the X-axis direction, which helps the adsorption component 1333 to accurately pick up the sheet. Alternatively, when the adsorption component 1333 places the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the first straightening mechanism 135 limits the sheet to keep its position unchanged in the X-axis direction, so that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet to descend, the sheet can be accurately placed in the flower basket 30, thereby reducing the risk of the sheet scratching the flower basket 30.
[0082] In some embodiments, the second alignment mechanism 135 functions similarly to the first alignment mechanism 135, and is positioned above the third end 1326. When the top sheet mechanism 134 ejects the sheet from the support boat 20, the second alignment mechanism 135 limits the sheet to maintain its position in the X-axis direction, which helps the adsorption assembly 1333 accurately acquire the sheet. Alternatively, when the adsorption assembly 1333 places the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the second alignment mechanism 135 limits the sheet to maintain its position in the X-axis direction, so that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet as it descends, the sheet can be placed inside the support boat 20, reducing the risk of the sheet rubbing against the support boat 20.
[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8Both the first and second straightening mechanisms 135 include a straightening slide rail 1351, a straightening actuator 1352, and two pushers 1353. The straightening slide rail 1351 extends along the X-axis. The two pushers 1353 are connected to the straightening slide rail 1351, and the straightening actuator 1352 is connected to both the straightening slide rail 1351 and at least one pusher 1353. The two pushers of the first straightening mechanism 135 are located above the second end 1324, and the two pushers of the second straightening mechanism 135 are located above the fourth end 1327. The two pushers 1353 of either the first or second straightening mechanism 135 are spaced apart along the X-axis, and the space between the two pushers 1353 is used to accommodate sheet material. Before or after the adsorption component 1333 picks up the sheet on the top sheet mechanism 134, the sheet is located between the two pushers 1353. The alignment driver 1352 drives one of the pushers 1353 or both pushers to slide relative to the alignment rail 1351 to reduce the gap between the two pushers 1353 and to allow the two pushers 1353 to jointly clamp the sheet, so that the sheet moves relative to the top sheet mechanism 134, thereby adjusting the position of all the sheets in the X-axis direction. It can be understood that when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet to move relative to the basket 30 or the support boat 20, the corresponding two pushers 1353 release the sheet.
[0084] Both the flower basket 30 and the carrier boat 20 are provided with slots (not identified) for accommodating sheets. The edges of the sheets are inserted into the slots, and the sidewalls of the slots limit the sheet movement, reducing the risk of sheet displacement or even detachment, and facilitating the adsorption assembly 1333 to pick up each sheet. In some embodiments, each pusher 1353 of the first and second straightening mechanisms 135 has multiple teeth (not identified) on one side along the X-axis, with all teeth spaced apart along the Y-axis. All teeth of each pusher 1353 are oriented towards the corresponding pusher 1353, and at least one sheet is accommodated between two adjacent teeth. When the sheet is located between the two pushers 1353, the end of the sheet along the X-axis is located between two adjacent teeth, thereby limiting the sheet along the Y-axis by the teeth to keep the relative position of each sheet in the Y-axis direction unchanged. This ensures that each sheet can accurately enter the slot of the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20 when the top sheet mechanism 134 supports the sheet into the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20, which helps to improve the accuracy of the insert and unload sheet device 132 in feeding the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20.
[0085] Understandably, when the two pushers 1353 move away from each other so that the top plate mechanism 134 supports the sheet to enter and exit the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20, the ends of the sheet along the X-axis are always located between two adjacent teeth, so as to keep the position of the sheet relative to the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20 in the Y-axis direction unchanged when the sheet enters and exits the basket 30 or the carrier boat 20, thereby improving the accuracy of the adsorption assembly 1333 in acquiring each sheet.
[0086] In some embodiments, the leveling driver 1352 includes a motor (not shown) and a timing belt (not shown). The motor is connected to the leveling slide rail 1351, and the timing belt is rotatably connected to the leveling slide rail 1351 with its axis of rotation parallel to the Y-axis. One of the pushers 1353 is connected to the timing belt, and the motor drives the pusher 1353 to move relative to the other pusher 1353, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pushers 1353.
[0087] In some embodiments, the regularization driver 1352 of the first regularization mechanism 135 and the second regularization mechanism 135 is the same.
[0088] In some embodiments, the number of pushers 1353 of the second straightening mechanism 135 is two, and when one second straightening mechanism 135 corresponds to two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, the second straightening mechanism 135 further includes a straightening translation component (not shown), the straightening slide rail 1351 is connected to the straightening translation component, and the straightening translation component is used to drive the straightening slide rail 1351 to move between the two carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 along the X-axis direction. When the carrier boat 20 on one of the carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the straightening driver 1352 drives two pushers 1353 to guide the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boat 20. When the carrier boat 20 on the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 moves to the fourth end 1327, the straightening translation assembly drives the straightening slide rail 1351 to move the straightening driver 1352 and the two pushers 1353 toward the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325, so that the two pushers 1353 guide the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boat 20 on the other carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. This realizes the function of the two pushers 1353 guiding the sheet material entering and exiting the carrier boat 20 on both carrier boat conveying assemblies 1325, which helps to reduce the number of pushers 1353 and straightening slide rails 1351, making the structure of the second straightening mechanism 135 simpler and reducing the space occupied by the second straightening mechanism 135.
[0089] Similarly, when the number of pushers 1353 of the first straightening mechanism 135 is two, and one first straightening mechanism 135 corresponds to two flower basket conveying components 1321, the first straightening mechanism 135 also includes a straightening translation component. The straightening slide rail 1351 is connected to the straightening translation component, and the straightening translation component is used to drive the straightening slide rail 1351 to move between the two flower basket conveying components 1321 along the X-axis direction.
[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The boat-moving mechanism 137 includes a boat-moving module 1371, a boat-moving lifting module 1373, and a boat-moving gripper 1372. The boat-moving lifting module 1373 is connected to the boat-moving module 1371, and the boat-moving gripper 1372 is connected to the boat-moving lifting module 1373. The boat-moving module 1371 extends along the Y-axis and is located above the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11. During operation, the boat-moving module 1371 drives the boat-moving lifting module 1373 to move between the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11, and synchronously drives the boat-moving gripper 1372 to move. When the boat-moving gripper 1372 is positioned above the third end 1326 and the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11, the boat-moving lifting module 1373 drives the boat-moving gripper 1372 to descend, so that the boat-moving gripper 1372 can pick up or release the carrying boat 20 at the third end 1326 (the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11). This cycle is repeated, thereby enabling the boat-moving mechanism 137 to load and unload materials from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11.
[0091] Understandably, when the temporary storage rack 113 can hold multiple carrier boats 20, the boat-moving gripper 1372 picks up a carrier boat 20 carrying a processed sheet from the temporary storage rack 113, and then releases a carrier boat 20 carrying a sheet to be processed back to the temporary storage rack 113. This cycle is repeated so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can load and unload materials from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the purification device 11.
[0092] In some embodiments, the boat moving module 1371 can also drive the boat lifting module 1373 to move along the X-axis. When the boat gripper 1372 moves to one side of the frame 111, the boat moving module 1371 drives the boat lifting module 1373 to move closer to the frame 111 along the X-axis, and simultaneously drives the boat gripper 1372 to move, so that the boat gripper 1372 is closer to the frame 111. This helps to reduce the distance that the temporary storage rack 113 moves outside the frame 111, thereby reducing the time that the temporary storage rack 113 moves, and thus improving the working efficiency of the temporary storage rack 113 in moving the sheet into and out of the frame 111.
[0093] Meanwhile, when the boat moving module 1371 drives the boat lifting module 1373 to move along the Y-axis, the boat moving module 1371 first drives the boat lifting module 1373 to move the boat gripper 1372 away from the frame 111 along the X-axis, so as to reduce the risk of the boat lifting module 1373 and the boat gripper 1372 scraping against the frame 111 when they move along the Y-axis.
[0094] In some embodiments, two or more temporary storage racks 113 can be movably arranged relative to the frame 111 and the carrier boat 20 can be moved between inside and outside the frame 111 to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading the frame 111.
[0095] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 The number of carrier boat conveying components 1325 is at least two. After the carrier boat 1372 releases the carrier boat 20 from one of the temporary storage racks 113 (hereinafter referred to as the first temporary storage rack 113), the carrier boat 1372, under the action of the carrier boat moving module 1371 and the carrier boat lifting module 1373, retrieves the carrier boat 20 from the other temporary storage rack 113 (hereinafter referred to as the second temporary storage rack 113). The carrier boat moving module 1371 drives the carrier boat lifting module 1373 and the carrier boat 1372 to move to the third end 1326 of one of the carrier boat conveying components 1325. The carrier boat 1372 releases the carrier boat 20 to the third end 1326. Under the action of the carrier boat moving module 1371 and the carrier boat lifting module 1373, the carrier boat 1372 retrieves the carrier boat 20 from the third end 1326 of the other carrier boat conveying component 1325. The boat moving module 1371 drives the boat lifting module 1373 and the boat gripper 1372 to move to the first temporary storage rack 113. The boat gripper 1372 releases the carrying boat 20 to the first temporary storage rack 113. After the first temporary storage rack 113 is full of carrying boats 20 again, the carrying boats 20 on the first temporary storage rack 113 are moved into the purification device 11. The first temporary storage rack 113 then moves some other carrying boats 20 that have been processed out of the purification device 11, so that the boat gripper 1372 can pick up the carrying boats 20 on the first temporary storage rack 113. This cycle is repeated so that the two temporary storage racks 113 alternately transfer the carrying boats 20 to the boat gripper 1372, so that the boat gripper 1372 can continuously pick up or release the carrying boats 20 outside the purification device 11.
[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10The purification device 11 also includes a boat-moving robot 114 and a boat-pushing mechanism 112 disposed within the frame 111. Within the frame 111, from the basket conveying assembly 1321 towards the carrying boat conveying assembly 1325 (i.e., along the positive X-axis), are sequentially arranged a paddle-on-boat area 1115, a module area 1114, a boat lifting area 1113, and a boat buffer area 1112. The boat-pushing mechanism 112 includes a drive unit 1121 and a support unit 1122 connected together. The drive unit 1121 of the boat-pushing mechanism 112 is disposed in the module area 1114, and the support unit 1122 is disposed in the paddle-on-boat area 1115. A temporary storage rack 113 within the frame 111 is located in the boat buffer area 1112. Along the X-axis, the boat-moving robot 114 is located between the temporary storage rack 113 and the boat-pushing mechanism 112. The processing device 12 and the flower basket moving mechanism 136 are located on both sides of the frame 111 along the Y-axis. The processing device 12 has a port (not shown) on the side facing the frame 111. Before the processing device 12 starts working, the boat moving robot 114 transfers the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material on the temporary storage rack 113 along the X-axis to the carrier part 1122 of the boat pushing mechanism 112. The drive part 1121 of the boat pushing mechanism 112 drives the carrier part 1122 to move the carrier boat 20 along with the sheet material through the port into the processing device 12, so that the processing device 12 can perform reactive processing on the sheet material. After the sheet material is processed, the pusher mechanism 112 moves the carrier boat 20 along the Y-axis from the processing device 12 to the frame 111. The boat-moving robot 114 then moves the sheet material from the carrier part 1122 of the pusher mechanism 112 along the X-axis to the temporary storage rack 113 for cooling. The temporary storage rack 113 transfers the processed sheet material to the outside of the frame 111, and then transfers the sheet material to be processed back into the frame 111. This cycle is repeated to achieve automated processing of the sheet material.
[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The processing apparatus 12 includes a reactor 121, which is tubular and extends along the Y-axis. The reactor 121 has a furnace opening (not marked) at one end facing the frame 111. The furnace opening extends to the port so that the pusher mechanism 112 can pass the sheet through the port and the furnace opening and transfer the sheet between the reactor 121 and the frame 111.
[0098] In some embodiments, the number of boat-pushing mechanisms 112 is two or more, and all boat-pushing mechanisms 112 are distributed along the Z-axis direction. The number of reactors 121 is the same as the number of boat-pushing mechanisms 112. By increasing the number of reactors 121, the processing efficiency of the processing device 12 is improved. One reactor 121 is correspondingly arranged with one boat-pushing mechanism 112, so that one boat-pushing mechanism 112 can transfer the sheet between the frame 111 and one reactor 121, thereby improving the efficiency of loading and unloading the reactor 121.
[0099] In some embodiments, the number of temporary storage racks 113 is at least the same as the number of pusher mechanisms 112. All temporary storage racks 113 are spaced apart along the Z-axis direction, and at least one temporary storage rack 113 corresponds to one pusher mechanism 112, so that the boat handling robot 114 can transfer the sheet between a temporary storage rack 113 and a pusher mechanism 112. Storing a sheet removed from the reactor 121 in a temporary storage rack 113 helps to extend the time the sheet is stored in the temporary storage rack 113, thereby extending the time the sheet is cooled in the frame 111, which is beneficial for the sheet to be fully cooled.
[0100] In some embodiments, a portion of the temporary storage rack 113 (hereinafter referred to as the first temporary storage rack 113) is always located within the boat buffer area 1112 of the rack 111. When the temporary storage rack 113 (hereinafter referred to as the second temporary storage rack 113) transfers the sheet material from outside the rack 111 to inside the rack 111, the boat handling robot 114 acquires the carrier boat 20 on the second temporary storage rack 113 and drives the carrier boat 20 to move up and down along the Z-axis within the boat lifting area 1113 until the carrier boat 20 corresponds to one of the boat pushing mechanisms 112. Then, the boat handling robot 114 places the carrier boat 20 on the bearing part 1122 of the boat pushing mechanism 112. The boat-moving robot 114 retrieves the carrier boat 20 from the carrier section 1122 of another boat-pushing mechanism 112 and places the carrier boat 20 on the first temporary storage rack 113 of the boat buffer area 1112. The boat-moving robot 114 then transfers the carrier boat 20, which is carrying the cooled sheet material, from the other first temporary storage rack 113 to the second temporary storage rack 113. The second temporary storage rack 113 moves from the boat buffer area 1112 to the boat pick-up and drop-off area 1111, so that the boat-moving mechanism 137 can retrieve the carrier boat 20. The boat-moving mechanism 137 releases the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed onto the second temporary storage rack 113 in the boat pick-up and drop-off area 1111 until the second temporary storage rack 113 is full of carrier boats 20 again. The second temporary storage rack 113 then transfers the carrier boat 20 from outside the machine frame 111 to inside the machine frame 111. This cycle is repeated to achieve the function of purifying device 11 buffering the sheet and transferring the sheet from boat-carrying mechanism 137 into reactor 121. In some embodiments, the carrying portion 1122 of boat-pushing mechanism 112 includes a boat-pushing paddle for carrying the carrying boat 20;
[0101] In some embodiments, the drive unit 1121 of the boat pushing mechanism 112 and all lifting modules, moving modules, or conveying components are power elements with output reciprocating force, such as screw modules, electric actuators, and cylinders.
[0102] In some embodiments, the temporary storage rack 113 is slidably connected to the frame 111, or the temporary storage rack 113 is rotatably connected to the frame 111. The rotation axis of the temporary storage rack 113 is parallel to the Z-axis or the Y-axis, which can enable the temporary storage rack 113 to move from inside the frame 111 to outside the frame 111 or from outside the frame 111 to inside the frame 111.
[0103] The working process of the photovoltaic material processing equipment 10 according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0104] The flower basket 30 is fed into the feeding and conveying assembly 1311, which conveys the flower basket 30 carrying the sheet to be processed to the flower basket moving mechanism 136 along the Y-axis. The flower basket moving mechanism 136 moves the flower basket 30 toward the first end 1323 of the flower basket conveying assembly 1321, and the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket 30 from the first end 1323 to the second end 1324.
[0105] The sheet is fed and tilted. The top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the basket 30 at the second end 1324. The first straightening mechanism 135 straightens the sheet. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 picks up the sheet and moves it along the Y-axis to the third end 1326. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 releases the sheet onto the top sheet mechanism 134 at the third end 1326. The second straightening mechanism 135 straightens the sheet. The top sheet mechanism 134 descends and places the sheet onto the carrier boat 20 at the third end 1326 of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325.
[0106] The carrier boat 20 is loaded and unloaded. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 conveys the carrier boat 20 from the third end 1326 to the fourth end 1327 (hereinafter referred to as the first and fourth ends 1327). At the same time, the boat moving mechanism 137 transfers the carrier boat 20 carrying the processed sheet material from the temporary storage rack 113 outside the frame 111 to the fourth end 1327 of another carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. The boat moving mechanism 137 then transfers the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed along the Y-axis direction from the first and fourth ends 1327 to the second temporary storage rack 113 outside the frame 111. This cycle continues until the second temporary storage rack 113 is full of carrier boats 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed.
[0107] The reactor 121 is loaded with material. The second temporary storage rack 113 moves from outside the frame 111 to inside the frame 111 along the X-axis and moves the carrier boat 20 in sync. The boat-moving robot 114 moves the carrier boat 20 along the X-axis and places it on the carrier part 1122 of the boat-pushing mechanism 112. The carrier part 1122 of the pusher 1353 mechanism drives the carrier boat 20 to move from the frame 111 to the reactor 121 along the Y-axis. The carrier boat 20 is completely inside the reactor 121 so that the reactor 121 can process the sheet.
[0108] When the reactor 121 is unloaded, the bearing part 1122 of another pusher 1353 mechanism drives the carrier boat 20 to move from the other reactor 121 into the frame 111 until the carrier boat 20 is completely located in the frame 111. The boat-moving robot 114 transfers the carrier boat 20 along the X-axis to another first temporary storage rack 113 in the frame 111 for storage.
[0109] After processing, the sheet material is cooled to the specified temperature inside frame 111.
[0110] The purification device 11 discharges the material, and the boat-moving robot 114 moves the carrier boat 20, which is carrying the cooled sheet material, from the first temporary storage rack 113 to the second temporary storage rack 113. The second temporary storage rack 113 moves the carrier boat 20 from inside the frame 111 to outside the frame 111 along the X-axis direction.
[0111] The loading and unloading of the carrier boat 20 involves the transfer mechanism 137 moving the carrier boat 20 carrying the processed sheet material from the second temporary storage rack 113 outside the frame 111 to the fourth end 1327 of the carrier boat conveying assembly 1325. The carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 then moves the carrier boat 20 from the fourth end 1327 to the third end 1326. Simultaneously, another carrier boat conveying assembly 1325 transports the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed from the third end 1326 to the fourth end 1327 (hereinafter referred to as the second and fourth ends 1327). The transfer mechanism 137 then moves the carrier boat 20 carrying the sheet material to be processed along the Y-axis direction from the second and fourth ends 1327 to the temporary storage rack 113 outside the frame 111, and this cycle continues.
[0112] Understandably, the second temporary storage rack 113 will move from outside the cabinet to inside the rack 111 once it is fully loaded with the carrier boat 20 to be processed.
[0113] The sheet is unloaded and poured. The top sheet mechanism 134 pushes the sheet out of the carrier boat 20 at the third end 1326. The second straightening mechanism 135 straightens the sheet. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 picks up the sheet and moves it along the X-axis to the second end 1324. The insert and unload sheet mechanism 133 releases the sheet onto the top sheet mechanism 134 at the second end 1324. The first straightening mechanism 135 straightens the sheet. The top sheet mechanism 134 descends and places the sheet onto the basket 30 at the second end 1324 of the basket conveying assembly 1321.
[0114] The flower basket 30 is unloaded, and the flower basket conveying assembly 1321 conveys the flower basket 30 from the second end 1324 to the first end 1323. The flower basket moving mechanism 136 transfers the flower basket 30 toward the unloading conveying assembly 1312, and the unloading conveying assembly 1312 conveys the flower basket 30 carrying the sheet to be processed outward along the Y-axis direction.
[0115] This process is repeated to automate the processing of sheet materials.
[0116] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
