Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic production equipment, and in particular to an automatic basket loading device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the manufacturing process of 3C products, contaminants such as cutting fluid and machining debris remaining on the surface of the product need to be loaded and concentrated for cleaning through a hanging basket. The traditional basket loading operation is completely dependent on manual operation, and the operator needs to frequently perform the actions of "sorting-positioning-stacking". The number of materials processed at a time is limited and the rhythm is difficult to unify. Due to the mismatch between the efficiency of manual operation and the high throughput of the equipment cleaning link, the basket loading station is prone to become a production line bottleneck, resulting in an imbalance between the front and rear process rhythms. In addition, repeated handling can cause operator fatigue, further reducing the material arrangement accuracy and stability. Under the requirement of high production capacity, increasing manpower can temporarily alleviate the production capacity pressure, but the rising labor cost and the lack of operation standardization still significantly limit the upgrading of production flexibility, making it difficult to meet the stringent demands of efficiency and cost control in large-scale intelligent manufacturing.

[0029] The following specific embodiments will further illustrate the present application in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. Specific embodiments

[0031] 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 in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

It is also to be understood that the use of "comprise", "comprises" or "comprising" when indicating components, features or steps of aspects of the application do not exclude the presence of additional components, features or steps. It is further to be understood that the use of "or" is to be interpreted as inclusive so that figure A or B includes the scenarios of A, B, or A and B. It is also to be understood that "and / or" as used herein refers to and / or.
[0032] It should also be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are, for example, capable of use in either order.
[0033] In the precision manufacturing process of 3C products, pollutants such as cutting fluid residues, machining debris and environmental dust are often attached to the surface of the products. In order to realize the standardized cleaning of the products before entering the next process, the materials need to be loaded into the hanging basket according to the preset rules for batch processing. The traditional hanging basket loading process relies on manual operation, and the operators need to repeatedly perform the "sorting-positioning-stacking" action. In this process, long-term repetitive labor of manual work can cause muscle strain, and high-intensity work may reduce the operation accuracy, causing the materials to be placed in wrong positions or have uneven gaps, affecting the subsequent cleaning efficiency. In addition, the manual basket loading rhythm is difficult to synchronize with the high throughput of automatic cleaning equipment, becoming a bottleneck of the overall efficiency of the production line.
[0034] Some existing automatic solutions attempt to replace manual work by combining conveying lines and mechanical hands, but still have technical limitations. For example: the alternating transfer of incoming carriers and return empty carriers lacks an efficient caching mechanism, and carrier backlog may block the operation of the sorting device; after the materials are transferred to the intermediate platform, they are usually distributed in a scattered manner, and the mechanical hand needs to be positioned and grabbed multiple times, so the single basket loading efficiency is limited; the conventional clamping jaw has insufficient compatibility for multiple types of materials, and surface oil stains or irregular shapes may cause the clamping stability to decrease. The above problems make the existing equipment still face frequent shutdown adjustment and large fluctuations in comprehensive efficiency in continuous production scenarios, making it difficult to meet the intelligent manufacturing requirements of high stability and high rhythm.
[0035] To this end, the embodiments of the present application provide an automatic basket loading device, which can cover the whole process of automatic loading of the basket, including separation of materials, circulation of carriers, efficient stacking, and precise clamping, to overcome the technical defects of manual work and existing devices. Some embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments described below and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0036] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an automatic basket loading device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a carrier 30 loaded with materials 20 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a basket 40 loaded with materials 20 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0037] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, Figure 1 the present application provides an automatic basket loading device 10, which can be used to sort, position, and stack materials 20 into a basket 40 for subsequent cleaning operations of the materials 20. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, Figure 2 and Figure 3 the materials 20 can be placed in a carrier 30 in advance, and the materials 20 can include 3C electronic products (such as mobile phones and tablets), photovoltaic products (such as silicon wafers), or other items that need to be loaded into the basket 40.
[0038] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, Figure 1The automatic basket loading and hanging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application can be composed of multiple platforms, multiple mechanisms or multiple device arrangements. The automatic basket loading and hanging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application can also be referred to as an automatic basket loading and hanging system. The automatic basket loading and hanging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application can specifically include a material feeding platform 11, a sorting device 12, a carrier backflow platform 13, an intermediate conveying platform 14, a basket loading and hanging manipulator 15 and a basket conveying device 16. The material feeding platform 11 is used to convey the carrier 30 loaded with the material 20 to the sorting device 12. The carrier backflow platform 13 is used to convey the empty carrier 30 out of the sorting device 12. The sorting device 12 is arranged at the conveying terminal point of the material feeding platform 11 and the conveying starting point of the carrier backflow platform 13. The sorting device 12 is used to transfer the material 20 to the intermediate conveying platform 14. The intermediate conveying platform 14 is used to convey the material 20 and stack the material 20 at the conveying terminal point. The basket loading and hanging manipulator 15 is used to grab the stacked material 20 from the conveying terminal point of the intermediate conveying platform 14 and place the material 20 in the empty basket 40 of the basket conveying device 16. The basket conveying device 16 is arranged in the working area of the basket loading and hanging manipulator 15. The basket conveying device 16 is used to convey the empty basket 40 to the working area and convey the basket 40 loaded with the material 20 out of the working area. By integrating the material feeding platform 11, the sorting device 12, the carrier backflow platform 13, the intermediate conveying platform 14, the basket loading and hanging manipulator 15 and the basket conveying device 16, and by cooperating to form a continuous automatic process of material 20 transfer, carrier 30 circulation, stacking and basket loading, the participation of manual labor in the carrier 30 handling, material 20 separation and basket 40 loading links can be reduced, and the continuity of the overall operation rhythm can be improved. That is, the automatic basket loading and hanging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application can cover the whole-process automatic basket loading and hanging scheme of material 20 separation, carrier 30 circulation, efficient stacking and precise clamping, so as to overcome the technical defects of manual labor and existing devices.
[0039] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the material feeding platform 11 of the embodiment of the present application.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 4The incoming material conveying platform 11 can include a first buffering mechanism 111 and a second buffering mechanism 112 arranged in sequence on the conveying path of the incoming material conveying platform 11, and the first buffering mechanism 111 is located at the conveying terminal of the incoming material conveying platform 11. The first buffering mechanism 111 and the second buffering mechanism 112 can be used to buffer the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20. When the materials 20 are buffered in the first buffering mechanism 111, the sorting device 12 can be facilitated to sort and transfer. When the materials 20 are buffered in the second buffering mechanism 112, the stacking problem of the first buffering mechanism 111 can be alleviated, and the first buffering mechanism 111 can be quickly replenished with materials 20 when the first buffering mechanism 111 has no materials 20. The conveying path of the incoming material conveying platform 11 can realize the conveying of the materials 20 through the incoming conveying belt 110. In this case, the first buffering mechanism 111 and the second buffering mechanism 112 can segmentally buffer the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20 on the incoming material conveying platform 11, balance the difference between upstream and downstream production beats, alleviate the stacking conflict of the carriers 30 between the incoming end and the sorting device 12, and reduce the risk of stagnation of the incoming material conveying platform 11 due to instantaneous overload of the materials 20.
[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The first buffering mechanism 111 can include a first fence 1112 and a first sensing assembly 1111. The first fence 1112 is used to enclose the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20, and the first sensing assembly 1111 is arranged on the first fence 1112 and used to sense the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20. Figure 4 The second buffering mechanism 112 can include a second fence 1121, a second sensing assembly (not shown), and a material-loaded carrier clamping assembly 1122. The second fence 1121 is used to enclose the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20, the second sensing assembly is arranged on the second fence 1121 and used to sense the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20, and the material-loaded carrier clamping assembly 1122 is arranged on the second fence 1121 and used to clamp the carriers 30 loaded with the materials 20. In this case, the first fence 1112 and the first sensing assembly 1111 can physically limit and state sense the buffered carriers 30, and the second fence 1121 combined with the material-loaded carrier clamping assembly 1122 can further fix the position of the carriers 30 in the second buffering stage, improve the fault tolerance of the buffering mechanism, and reduce the deviation of the carriers 30 due to conveying vibration or inertia.
[0042] In some embodiments, the second buffering mechanism 112 can be multiple, for example, multiple second buffering mechanisms 112 can be arranged in sequence on the conveying path of the incoming material conveying platform 11.
[0043] In some embodiments, the carrier clamping assembly 1122 can include a clamping plate corresponding to the second fence 1121 for clamping the carrier 30 and a driving cylinder or driving motor 2111 for driving the clamping plate to clamp the carrier 30. The driving cylinder or driving motor 2111 is arranged outside the second fence 1121, and the clamping plate can be arranged inside the second fence 1121 or the hollowed area. In this way, the carrier 30 can be clamped and positioned for storage.
[0044] Figure 5 FIG. 13 is a structural schematic diagram of a carrier return platform 13 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0045] Referring to FIG. 13, Figure 5 The carrier return platform 13 according to an embodiment of the present application can include a third storage mechanism 131 arranged on a conveying path of the carrier return platform 13, and the third storage mechanism 131 is located at a conveying starting point of the carrier return platform 13. The third storage mechanism 131 is used for storing the carrier 30 loaded with the material 20 and the empty carrier 30. In addition, a return conveyor 130 is arranged on the conveying path of the carrier return platform 13, and the return conveyor 130 is used for conveying the empty carrier 30 on the carrier return platform 13. In this case, the third storage mechanism 131 can provide a transition storage space for the carrier return platform 13, receive the empty carrier 30 or the carrier 30 loaded with the material 20 from the sorting device 12, buffer the time difference between the carrier return path and the separation action, and maintain the continuity of the return conveying.
[0046] In some embodiments, the mechanism composition of the carrier return platform 13 can be the same as that of the incoming conveying platform 11, except that the conveying direction of the incoming conveying platform 11 is opposite to that of the carrier return platform 13. At this time, the third storage mechanism 131 can be the same device as the first storage mechanism 111 or the second storage mechanism 112. For example, the third storage mechanism 131 located at the conveying starting point of the carrier return platform 13 can include a third sensing assembly 1311 and a third fence 1312, and the third storage mechanism 131 located at other positions of the conveying path can further include an empty carrier clamping assembly 1313. In this way, the accuracy of storage and the convenience of stacking the carrier 30 can be further improved.
[0047] Similarly, the empty carrier clamping assembly 1313 can also include a clamping plate corresponding to the third fence 1312 for clamping the empty carrier 30 and a driving cylinder or driver for driving the clamping plate to clamp the carrier 30. The driving cylinder or driver is arranged outside the third fence 1312, and the clamping plate can be arranged inside the third fence 1312 or the hollowed area. In this way, the empty carrier 30 can be clamped and positioned for storage.
[0048] Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sorting device 12 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the transfer component 121 in an embodiment of this application.
[0049] Please see Figure 6 The sorting device 12 of this application embodiment may include a material transfer component 121, a first lifting component 122, and a second lifting component 123. The material transfer component 121 is located at the end point of the incoming material conveying platform 11 and the starting point of the carrier return platform 13, and is used to grab the carrier 30 loaded with material 20 from the incoming material conveying platform 11 to the carrier return platform 13 and to grab the material 20 from the carrier return platform 13 to the intermediate conveying platform 14. The first lifting component 122 is located at the end point of the incoming material conveying platform 11 and is used to lift the carrier 30 loaded with material 20 to the grabbing station of the material transfer component 121. The second lifting component 123 is located at the starting point of the carrier return platform 13 and is used to receive the empty carrier 30 from the grabbing station of the material transfer component 121 and release the empty carrier 30 to the transport path of the carrier return platform 13. In this case, the cooperation between the material transfer component 121, the first lifting component 122, and the second lifting component 123 enables the carrier 30 to achieve precise bidirectional docking between the incoming material conveying platform 11 and the carrier return platform 13, simultaneously completing the grabbing of the carrier 30, the transfer of the material 20, and the release of the empty carrier 30, thereby improving the reliability of the separation action and the switching of the conveying path.
[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the material transfer assembly 121 may include a drive module 1211 and a sorting gripper 1212. The sorting gripper 1212 may be used to grip the carrier 30 loaded with material 20 from the first buffer mechanism 111 to the third buffer mechanism 131 for buffering, and to grip the material 20 from the third buffer mechanism 131 and transfer it to the intermediate conveying platform 14. The drive module 1211 may be used to drive the sorting gripper 1212 to perform the aforementioned operations.
[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the sorting gripper 1212 may include a connecting rod 2121, a plurality of suction parts 2122 and a plurality of gripping parts 2123. When the sorting gripper 1212 picks up the carrier 30 loaded with material 20 from the first buffer mechanism 111 and buffers it in the third buffer mechanism 131, the carrier 30 can be gripped by the suction parts 2122 and gripping parts 2123 located on the right side of the connecting rod 2121. When the sorting gripper 1212 picks up the material 20 from the third buffer mechanism 131 and transfers it to the intermediate conveying platform 14, the suction parts 2122 located on the left side of the connecting rod 2121 can be used for suction.
[0052] like Figure 7As shown, the driving module 1211 can include a driving motor 2111, a slide rail part 2112 and a slide plate connecting part 2113. Among them, the driving motor 2111 is used to drive the slide plate connecting part 2113 to reciprocate on the slide rail part 2112, the slide plate connecting part 2113 can be connected with the connecting rod part 2121 of the sorting gripper 1212, and the length of the slide rail part 2112 can be related to the working span between the first buffer mechanism 111 and the third buffer mechanism 131.
[0053] As shown, Figure 6 The first lifting assembly 122 can include a first lifting slider 1221, a first lifting slide rail 1222 and a first lifting motor 1223. Among them, the first lifting slider 1221 can reciprocate on the first lifting slide rail 1222 under the driving of the first lifting motor 1223, and the bearing surface of the first lifting slider 1221 can be arranged in the hollow area of the first buffer mechanism 111 so as to lift the carrier 30 loaded with the material 20 located in the first buffer mechanism 111.
[0054] Similarly, as shown, Figure 6 The second lifting assembly 123 can also include a second lifting slider 1231, a second lifting slide rail 1232 and a second lifting motor 1233. Among them, the second lifting slider 1231 can reciprocate on the second lifting slide rail 1232 under the driving of the second lifting motor 1233, and the bearing surface of the second lifting slider 1231 can be arranged in the hollow area of the third buffer mechanism 131 so as to lift the empty carrier 30 located in the third buffer mechanism 131.
[0055] Figure 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the intermediate conveying platform 14 of the embodiment of the application. Figure 9 is a structural schematic diagram of the conveying rear section 141 of the intermediate conveying platform 14 of the embodiment of the application.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 8 The intermediate conveying platform 14 of the embodiment of the application can include a conveying front section 140 and a conveying rear section 141. The difference between the conveying front section 140 and the conveying rear section 141 is that the conveying front section 140 is only used for conveying, that is, the conveying belt of the conveying front section 140 can be one and laid in the conveying front section 140, and the conveying rear section 141 needs to cooperate with other components in addition to conveying, so the conveying belt of the conveying rear section 141 can be two and distributed on both sides of the conveying rear section 141.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 9The post-conveying section 141 can further include a material positioning assembly 1411 and a third jacking assembly 1412. The material positioning assembly 1411 is located at the end of the intermediate conveying platform 14 (i.e. the end of the post-conveying section 141) and is used to sequentially receive a plurality of materials 20 from the conveying path of the intermediate conveying platform 14, and the third jacking assembly 1412 is used to jack the material positioning assembly 1411 to enable the material positioning assembly 1411 to sequentially receive a plurality of materials 20. In this case, the material positioning assembly 1411 and the third jacking assembly 1412 can lift and stack the plurality of materials 20 at the end of the intermediate conveying platform 14 layer by layer, and form a unified grasping pose after stacking, thereby providing a position alignment basis for the subsequent basket mounting robot 15 to batch transfer the materials 20, and reducing the number of times of single grasping.
[0058] In some embodiments, a material 20 sensor (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the material positioning assembly 1411 to sense the materials 20. In this way, the accuracy of lifting and stacking the materials 20 can be improved.
[0059] As shown in Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the intermediate conveying platform 14 further includes a guide assembly 1413 provided on both sides of the conveying path of the intermediate conveying platform 14. The guide assembly 1413 is located in the post-conveying section 141, and the distance between the end of the guide assembly 1413 away from the end of the intermediate conveying platform 14 is greater than the distance between the end of the guide assembly 1413 close to the end of the intermediate conveying platform 14. In this case, the tapered distance design of the guide assembly 1413 can guide the materials 20 to gradually align during the intermediate conveying process, correct the stacking inclination of the materials 20 caused by positional deviation during the conveying process, and improve the neatness of the final stacking form.
[0060] Figure 10 FIG. 7 is a structural schematic diagram of the basket mounting robot 15 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 11 FIG. 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the grasping gripper 151 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0061] Referring to Figure 10 , the basket mounting robot 15 can include a grasping gripper 151 and a robot arm 152. The grasping gripper 151 is provided on the robot arm 152, and the robot arm 152 can be used to drive the grasping gripper 151 to move arbitrarily in a multi-axis space.
[0062] Referring to Figure 11The grabbing clamps 151 can include a clamp body 1511, a plurality of first clamping pieces 1512, and a plurality of second clamping pieces 1513. The first clamping pieces 1512 and the second clamping pieces 1513 are arranged on the clamp body 1511 and are used to clamp the plurality of materials 20 in cooperation with each other. In this case, the combination of the plurality of first clamping pieces 1512 and the plurality of second clamping pieces 1513 can exert a regional clamping force on different layers of the stacked materials 20 or adjacent materials 20, expand the range of the number of materials 20 that can be grabbed by the manipulator in a single time, and adapt to the basket loading requirements of different stacking heights.
[0063] Referring to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the number of the first clamping pieces 1512 is the same as the number of the second clamping pieces 1513, and the first clamping pieces 1512 have hollow parts 5120 that are shaped to match the shapes of the second clamping pieces 1513. At least a part of the number of the second clamping pieces 1513 is located in the hollow parts 5120 before the materials 20 are clamped. For example, when all the first clamping pieces 1512 or the second clamping pieces 1513 move in the loosening direction D, the first clamping pieces 1512 and the second clamping pieces 1513 are in a loosening state (i.e., do not clamp the materials 20) and at least a part of the number of the second clamping pieces 1513 is located in the hollow parts 5120 of the first clamping pieces 1512, and vice versa, so as to clamp the materials 20. In this case, the hollow parts 5120 of the first clamping pieces 1512 can provide a moving space for the second clamping pieces 1513, so that the plurality of clamping pieces can be kept in a non-interference state in an initial state and the wrapping of the materials 20 can be enhanced through the staggered cooperation of the hollow parts 5120 and the second clamping pieces 1513 in the clamping process.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first clamping pieces 1512 and the second clamping pieces 1513 have a plurality of suction holes (not shown in the figure), and the suction part 2122 is used to assist in clamping the plurality of materials 20. In this case, the suction holes on the first clamping pieces 1512 and the second clamping pieces 1513 can assist the mechanical clamping action through negative pressure adsorption, increase the uniformity of the stress on the surface of the materials 20 when the materials 20 are grabbed, and reduce the possibility that the materials 20 are deformed or slip due to excessive clamping force.
[0065] Figure 12 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a hanging basket conveying device 16 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0066] Referring to Figure 12 The hanging basket conveying device 16 according to an embodiment of the present application can include a conveying body 161, a driving device 162, and a plurality of conveying rollers 163. The conveying rollers 163 are arranged on the conveying body 161 and can rotate under the driving of the driving device 162, so as to move the hanging basket 40 placed on the hanging basket conveying device 16 to complete the transfer operation of the hanging basket 40.
[0067] In some embodiments, the conveying body 161 can be provided with a hanging basket 40 sensor (not shown in the figure). Thereby, the positioning and conveying accuracy of the hanging basket 40 can be improved by the hanging basket 40 sensor.
[0068] In summary, the present application integrates the incoming conveying platform 11, the sorting device 12, the carrier circulation platform 13, the intermediate conveying platform 14, the hanging basket loading manipulator 15 and the hanging basket conveying device 16, and each component can form a continuous automatic process of material 20 transfer, carrier 30 circulation, stacking and basket loading through cooperation, which can reduce the participation of manual labor in the carrier 30 handling, material 20 separation and hanging basket 40 loading links, and improve the continuity of the overall operation rhythm. That is, the automatic hanging basket loading equipment 10 of the present application can cover the full-process automatic hanging basket 40 solution of material 20 separation, carrier 30 circulation, efficient stacking and accurate clamping, so as to overcome the technical defects of manual labor and existing equipment.
