[0018] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the reciprocating gantry conveyor workstation of this utility model includes: a frame 1, on which a first base frame 2 that moves vertically and a first drive assembly 3 for driving the first base frame 2 to move up and down vertically; a second base frame 4, located at the bottom of the first base frame 2, with a transmission component 5 inside the second base frame 4, and a second drive assembly 6 at the end of the second base frame 4 for controlling the movement of the transmission component 5; and a shelf 7, which is fixed to the transmission component 5 by means of a locking member 8, so that when the second drive assembly 6 controls the movement of the transmission component 5, the shelf 7 can move along the length direction of the second base frame 4 with the transmission component 5.

[0022] See Figure 1 The first base frame 2 is vertically mounted on the frame 1. The first base frame 2 is height-adjustable on the frame 1 by means of the first drive assembly 3. The second base frame 4 is disposed at the bottom of the first base frame 2. The second base frame 4 is provided with a transmission component 5 and a second drive assembly 6 that drives the transmission component 5 to move along the length of the second base frame 4. The shelf 7 is mounted on the transmission component 5. The second drive assembly 6 controls the movement of the transmission component 5, so that the shelf 7 located at the bottom of the second base frame 4 can move from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position. It should be noted that the first position is the visual inspection position, and the second position is the workpiece processing position. A visual inspection mechanism is provided on the side of the frame 1 at the first position, and a processing mechanism is provided on the side of the frame 1 at the second position. The visual inspection mechanism includes at least a CCD camera and a light source, and the processing mechanism includes at least a robot arm and a workpiece.

[0023] Specifically, when inspecting and processing a workpiece, the workpiece is first installed on the shelf 7 and the shelf 7 is placed in the first position. Then, the first drive assembly 3 controls the first base frame 2, the second base frame 4, and the shelf 7 to move up and down in the vertical direction to adjust the position of the shelf 7 relative to the vision inspection mechanism. After the workpiece on the shelf 7 is photographed and inspected by the CCD camera, the second drive assembly 6 controls the transmission component 5 to move along the length of the second base frame 4, so that the shelf 7 can move from the first position to the second position. Afterwards, the abnormal workpiece detected by the vision inspection mechanism is processed by the processing mechanism. This achieves the integration of workpiece surface inspection and processing, and has the characteristics of high mechanization and high workpiece processing efficiency, making it practical.

[0024] In one or more embodiments, the locking member 8 is a carrier plate fixedly mounted on the transmission member 5, and the shelf 7 is detachably mounted on the carrier plate by means of bolts; the second base frame 4 has a receiving cavity, the transmission member 5 and the carrier plate are placed in the receiving cavity, the top of the carrier plate is rotatably mounted with a first wheel 91 that abuts against the inner side wall of the receiving cavity, and the two sides of the carrier plate are respectively rotatably mounted with a second wheel 92 and a third wheel 93, the bottom of the second wheel 92 and the third wheel 93 abut against the bottom surface of the receiving cavity.

[0025] See Figure 4 The transmission component 5, the carrier plate, the first wheel 91, the second wheel 92 and the third wheel 93 are placed in the receiving cavity of the second base frame 4. The bottom of the second base frame 4 has an opening, and the receiving cavity is connected to the outside through the opening. The bottom end of the carrier plate extends out of the outside through the opening, so that the shelf 7 can be detachably installed on the bottom end of the carrier plate by bolts.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 The carrier plate is fixed on the transmission component 5. When the second drive assembly 6 controls the transmission component 5 to move along the length direction of the second base frame 4, the carrier plate can move synchronously with the transmission component 5, so that the carrier plate can move from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position. The first wheel 91 is rotatably installed on the top of the carrier plate. The first wheel 91 can abut against the inner walls of both sides of the cavity of the second base frame 4. Through this arrangement, the position of the carrier plate can be restricted, avoiding the problem of lateral displacement of the carrier plate during the movement of the transmission component 5, and improving the stability of the shelf 7 moving along the length direction of the second base frame 4. The second wheel 92 and the third wheel 93 are respectively rotatably installed on both sides of the width direction of the carrier plate. The second wheel 92 and the third wheel 93 abut against the bottom surface inside the cavity of the second base frame 4. Through this arrangement, the resistance when the transmission component 5 drives the carrier plate to move in the cavity can be reduced, and the friction noise generated between the carrier plate and the second base frame 4 can be reduced, improving the use effect of this application.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, the first drive assembly 3 includes at least a first drive device 31 disposed on the top of the frame 1, a first drive sprocket 32 ​​driven to rotate by the first drive device 31, a first driven sprocket 33 rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 1, and a first chain 34 for connecting the first drive sprocket 32, the first driven sprocket 33 and the first base frame 2.

[0028] See Figure 1 The first drive device 31 may be a servo motor and reducer installed on the top of the frame 1. The first drive sprocket 32 ​​is installed on the drive shaft of the reducer. The first chain 34 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first chain 34 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the first base frame 2. The second end of the first chain 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1 or on the first drive sprocket 32. The first chain 34 passes around the first drive sprocket 32 ​​and the first driven sprocket 33.

[0029] When adjusting the height of the first base frame 2, the second base frame 4 and the shelf 7, the first drive device 31 controls the first drive sprocket 32 ​​to rotate forward or backward, thereby adjusting the height of the first base frame 2, the second base frame 4 and the shelf 7. This method features simple structure, convenient operation and high degree of mechanization.

[0030] In one or more embodiments, the second drive assembly 6 includes at least a second drive device for driving the second drive sprocket 61 to rotate, which is rotatably mounted on the two ends of the second base frame 4, and the transmission component 5 is a second chain connected to the second drive sprocket 61 and the second driven sprocket 62.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The second drive device can be a servo motor. The second chain passes around the second drive sprocket 61 and the second driven sprocket 62. The second drive device controls the second drive sprocket 61 to rotate, causing the chain to rotate on the second drive sprocket 61 and the second driven sprocket 62. This allows the carrier plate fixed on the second chain to move along the length of the second base frame 4, enabling the carrier plate and the shelf 7 to move from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position, thereby controlling the position of the shelf 7.

[0032] In one or more embodiments, the frame 1 is provided with a plurality of limiting ear plates 11 in the vertical direction, and the first base frame 2 is provided with a limiting rod 12 that can be extended into the limiting ear plates 11; the limiting rod 12 is controlled to move by a third driving device installed on the first base frame 2.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2The accompanying drawing exemplarily shows a set of limiting ear plates 11. A third driving device and a limiting rod 12 controlled by the third driving device are mounted on the first base frame 2. The third driving device can be a cylinder. Specifically, when the first driving assembly 3 controls the first base frame 2 to a predetermined height, the third driving device controls the limiting rod 12 to extend and enter the hole in the limiting ear plate 11, thereby fixing the height of the first base frame 2 and ensuring the stability of the workpiece on the shelf 7 during processing and inspection.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, a fourth wheel 13 and a fifth wheel 14 are rotatably arranged on the first base frame 2, which abut against the two sides of the frame 1, and the fourth wheel 13 and the fifth wheel 14 are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The frame 1 has at least four frame-shaped columns, each column having a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side connected in sequence. The fourth wheel 13 and the fifth wheel 14, which are rotatably mounted on the first base frame 2, abut against the first side and the second side of the column, respectively. This arrangement ensures the stability of the first base frame 2 during the lifting process and further improves the quality and efficiency of workpiece processing in this application.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
