[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown, in one embodiment, a product placement mechanism includes a material picker plate 1 for placing products to be placed. The material picker plate 1 has multiple placement positions, and products with A-side facing or B-side facing can be randomly placed in each placement position. Therefore, there is no need for manual identification and adjustment of the product placement position, which improves efficiency.

[0035] The system is equipped with a feeding belt 2 and a discharging belt 3. The feeding belt 2 can transport the loading plate 1, which is full of products, to a designated position, while the discharging belt 3 can remove the loading plate 1 after it has been loaded, so as to repeatedly realize the feeding and discharging of the loading plate 1.

[0036] A visual recognition and material handling mechanism 401 is provided on one side of the feed belt 2. In some embodiments, the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 401 includes multiple suction heads 410 and a camera 411. The camera 411 can identify products with their A-side facing up, and the multiple suction heads 410 can grab the corresponding products with their A-side facing up.

[0037] A transfer and feeding platform 601 is provided on one side of the visual recognition and picking mechanism 401. After the visual recognition and picking mechanism 401 picks up the product, it places the picked up product on the transfer and feeding platform 601. The transfer and feeding platform moves to a position close to the picking mechanism 7. The picking mechanism 7 picks up the product temporarily stored on the transfer and feeding platform 601 and places it on the baking plate 11 below the picking mechanism 7.

[0038] After the visual recognition and picking mechanism 401 has picked up all the products with their A side facing up on the picking carrier plate 1, the picking carrier plate 1 moves along the direction of the feeding belt 2 and moves to the bottom of the flipping platform 5. The flipping platform 5 picks up the remaining products with their B side facing up and flips them 180 degrees so that their A side faces up. A visual recognition and picking mechanism 402 is set above the flipping platform 5. The visual recognition and picking mechanism 402 identifies the products with their A side facing up and picks them up and places them on the transfer and feeding platform 602 on one side. Following the same process, the transfer and feeding platform 602 moves to be close to the picking mechanism 7. The picking mechanism 7 picks up the products and places them on the baking plate 11 until all the products on the picking carrier plate 1 have been picked up.

[0039] The above technical solution enables automated placement of products on the baking plate 11 in a specified orientation, reducing the need for manual visual selection, improving efficiency, increasing product yield, and saving manpower.

[0040] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 Both the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 1 (401) and the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 2 (402) include multiple suction heads (410) and cameras (411). The cameras (411) can identify products with their A-side facing up, and the suction heads (410) can pick up the products. The visual recognition and material handling mechanism 1 (401) and the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 2 (402) have the same structure, only their positions are different.

[0041] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 The transfer and feeding platform includes a platform body 610, which has multiple feeding holes 611. The platform body 610 is connected to a linear slide rail 612 at the bottom. The platform body 610 can move along the linear slide rail 612 to get closer to or away from the visual recognition and picking mechanism 7 or closer to or away from the picking mechanism 7.

[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 5The material handling mechanism 7 includes multiple suction heads 410 and a lifting cylinder 501 connected to the multiple suction heads 410. The suction heads 410 can pick up products with A-side facing upward and place the products on the baking plate 11 by moving the lifting cylinder 501.

[0043] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 The flipping platform 5 includes a lifting cylinder 501 and a rotating cylinder 502 connected to the flipping platform 5. The lifting cylinder 501 controls the lifting and lowering of the flipping platform 5, and the rotating cylinder 502 controls the flipping platform 5 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby rotating products with their B-side facing upwards to products with their A-side facing upwards, facilitating subsequent visual recognition and gripping by the material handling mechanism 402. The flipping platform 5 also includes an electromagnetic adsorption structure, which is used to pick up products. For example, an electromagnet, when energized, can attract products.

[0044] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 Below the material handling mechanism 7, there is a linear guide rail 8. One end of the linear guide rail 8 is equipped with a baking rack 9, which holds multiple unloaded baking plates 11. The other end of the linear guide rail 8 is equipped with a baking frame feeding position 10. When the baking plate 11 is full of products, the baking plate 11 is moved to the baking frame feeding position 10 and pushed into the baking frame. Then, an empty baking plate 11 is taken from the baking plate 11 rack and placed below the baking plate 11 material handling mechanism 7.

[0045] Optionally, the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 401 and the transfer and material handling platform 601 are located on one side of the material handling mechanism 7, and the visual recognition and material handling mechanism 402 and the transfer and material handling platform 602 are located on the other side of the material handling mechanism 7.

[0046] Working principle: First, take an empty baking plate 11 from the baking plate 11 placement rack and place it at the baking plate 11 picking mechanism 7. Lay the product on the picking carrier plate 1 (A and B sides of the product are randomly facing upwards). It enters directly below the vision recognition and picking mechanism 401 through the feeding belt 2. After the vision recognition and picking mechanism 401 takes a picture, it picks up the product (A side facing upwards, B side facing downwards) and transfers it to the transfer and feeding platform 601. The baking plate 11 picking mechanism 7 descends and picks up the product from the transfer and feeding platform 601 and places it on the baking plate 11, with a 2.5mm gap between the products.

[0047] When all products (A-side up, B-side down) on the picking platform 1 have been picked up, leaving only products (B-side up), they flow to the area corresponding to the vision recognition and picking mechanism 402. As the lifting and rotating motors rise and move forward, the flipping platform 5 comes into contact with the products (B-side up) on the picking platform 1. A magnetic field is activated to pick up the products, leaving only an empty picking platform 1. After picking up the products, the lifting and rotating motors return to their initial positions. The flipping platform 5 rotates 180°, changing the product's orientation from B-side up to A-side up. The magnetism of the flipping platform 5 is then deactivated, and the vision recognition and picking mechanism 402 moves to the flipping platform 5 to pick up the products and place them in the transfer station. The second feeding platform 602 transfers products to one side of the picking mechanism 7 on the baking plate 11. The picking mechanism 7 descends to pick up products from the second feeding platform 602 and place them on the baking plate 11, with a 2.5mm gap between products. The picking mechanism repeats until all products on the flipping platform 5 are picked up. The empty picking platform 1 flows out from the discharge belt 3. When the baking plate 11 is full of products, the baking plate 11 is rotated to the baking frame feeding position 10 and pushed into the baking frame. Then, an empty baking plate 11 is picked up from the baking plate 11 placement rack and placed at the baking plate 11 picking mechanism 7 placement position. The above operation is repeated.
