[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1This embodiment provides a dual-station robot locking control device, including: a guardrail 1; a first station 11 and a second station 12 located on both sides inside the guardrail 1; a first sensor 21 corresponding to the first station 11; a second sensor 22 corresponding to the second station 12; an emergency stop switch 3 and a controller 4. The first sensor 21, the second sensor 22 and the emergency stop switch 3 are all electrically connected to the controller 4, and the controller 4 is used to electrically connect to the dual-station robot 7.

[0035] Specifically, when an operator is present at the first workstation 11, the first sensor 21 transmits a sensing signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the emergency stop switch 3 to open. When an operator is present at the second workstation 12, the second sensor 22 transmits a sensing signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the emergency stop switch 3 to open. Therefore, as long as an operator is present at either the first workstation 11 or the second workstation 12, pressing the emergency stop switch 3 will not close it, thus preventing the dual-workstation robot 7 from starting. This provides effective protection for the operator and ensures good safety. The guardrail 1 is used to enclose the working area; the first station 11 is used to place the tray 9, so that the dual-station robot 7 can place the product on the tray 9 of the first station 11; the second station 12 is used to place the tray 9, so that the dual-station robot 7 can place the product on the tray 9 of the second station 12; the first sensor 21 and the second sensor 22 can both be of the form of grating type, infrared type or ultrasonic type, etc., and in order to ensure sensing accuracy, grating type is preferred; the emergency stop switch 3 is used to realize the emergency stop of the dual-station robot 7; the controller 4 is used to control the first sensor 21, the second sensor 22 and the emergency stop switch 3, etc.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 It also includes: a first warning tape 51 corresponding to the first workstation 11, one end of the first warning tape 51 being connected to the guardrail 1, and the other end of the first warning tape 51 being detachably connected to the guardrail 1; and a second warning tape 52 corresponding to the second workstation 12, one end of the second warning tape 52 being connected to the guardrail 1, and the other end of the second warning tape 52 being detachably connected to the guardrail 1.

[0037] Specifically, the first warning tape 51 and the second warning tape 52 are both used to serve as warnings to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the guardrail 1. Due to their detachable connection, they facilitate the entry of operators into the first workstation 11 and the second workstation 12 inside the guardrail 1.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1It also includes: a first magnetic switch 61 corresponding to the first workstation 11, the other end of the first warning tape 51 and the guardrail 1 are connected through the first magnetic switch 61; a second magnetic switch 62 corresponding to the second workstation 12, the other end of the second warning tape 52 and the guardrail 1 are connected through the second magnetic switch 62; wherein, the first magnetic switch 61, the second magnetic switch 62 and the emergency stop switch 3 are connected in series and used to connect in series with the dual-workstation robot 7.

[0039] Specifically, the first magnetic switch 61 and the second magnetic switch 62 facilitate good detachability. Since the first magnetic switch 61, the second magnetic switch 62, and the emergency stop switch 3 are connected in series and used in series with the dual-station robot 7, the dual-station robot 7 will only start working when the first magnetic switch 61, the second magnetic switch 62, and the emergency stop switch 3 are all in the closed state, and the first sensor 21 and the second sensor 22 cannot detect the operator. This facilitates effective protection for the operator and ensures good safety. Even if the first sensor 21 or the second sensor 22 fails, the operator can enter the first station 11 or the second station 12 by disconnecting the first magnetic switch 61 or the second magnetic switch 62. At this time, closing the emergency stop switch 3 will not start the dual-station robot 7, which ensures good safety and fault tolerance.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 The emergency stop switch 3 is mechanically connected to the guardrail 1, and the emergency stop switch 3 is located between the first station 11 and the second station 12. Specifically, the emergency stop switch 3 is supported by the guardrail 1. Since the emergency stop switch 3 is located between the first station 11 and the second station 12, it is convenient for operators at both stations to easily open and close the emergency stop switch 3.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 The first warning tape 51 and the second warning tape 52 are arranged symmetrically about the guardrail 1. Specifically, the symmetrical arrangement facilitates good symmetry, thereby improving the rationality of the layout.

[0042] like Figure 1 This embodiment also provides a packaging system, including a dual-station robot locking control device of this embodiment, and further including: a dual-station robot 7 located between a first station 11 and a second station 12, the dual-station robot 7 being electrically connected to a controller 4; a first packaging production line 81 corresponding to the first station 11; and a second packaging production line 82 corresponding to the second station 12; wherein the dual-station robot 7 and one end of the first packaging production line 81 and one end of the second packaging production line 82 are all connected.

[0043] Specifically, the dual-station robot 7 is used to transfer products from the first packaging production line 81 and the second packaging production line 82 to the pallet 9 of the first station 11 and the pallet 9 of the second station 12, respectively.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 The first packaging production line 81 and the second packaging production line 82 have the same structure, both including an automatic packaging machine 831, a conveyor belt 832 and a gripping position 833 connected in sequence, and the gripping position 833 is connected to the dual-station robot 7.

[0045] Specifically, the automatic packaging machine 831 is used for packaging to form a product; the conveyor belt 832 is used to transport the product from the automatic packaging machine 831 to the gripping position 833; the gripping position 833 is used to carry the product for easy gripping by the dual-station robot 7.

[0046] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
