[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0018] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0019] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] Current automatic graphite pressing machines use a gantry with vacuum suction cups to pick up graphite sheets for loading and unloading. The sheets are then moved horizontally to a worktable, which moves them to the assembly area for replacement of jammed points. The worktable then moves the sheets back to the loading / unloading position, where the gantry picks up the replaced sheets and places them on the unloading trolley. The process is repeated until the loading trolley retrieves the sheets to be replaced. The inventors have found that this method results in low efficiency, long replacement cycles, and overall low work efficiency because the gantry is in a waiting state for a significant amount of time while the graphite sheets are being picked up, and the assembly device is also waiting.

[0021] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a dual-station transfer device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this dual-station transfer device includes at least: a servo module 1 and a dual suction cup assembly 2. It is easy to see that the connection point of the dual suction cup assembly 2 (as shown) Figure 1 The part marked A in the attached diagram is fixedly connected to the lower end of the servo module 1 to form an integrated structure.

[0022] Servo module 1 is a bidirectional servo module used to enable the dual-station transfer device to reciprocate in different directions. Optionally, servo module 1 includes a horizontal axis moving component and a vertical axis moving component; the horizontal axis moving component, as the name suggests, is a component used to enable the dual-station transfer device to reciprocate along the horizontal axis, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal axis can be Figure 1 The Y-axis direction is shown in the diagram. The vertical axial movement assembly, as the name suggests, is a component used to make the dual-station transfer device reciprocate along the vertical axis. See [link to documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, the vertical axis can be Figure 1 The Z-axis direction is shown in the figure. Optionally, the servo module 1 is used to move the dual-station transfer device between the loading position, unloading position, working position, and standby position.

[0023] Furthermore, the dual suction cup assembly 2 includes a first suction cup assembly 21 and a second suction cup assembly 22 set at a preset installation angle. The dual suction cup assembly 2 is a rotatable device; for example, the first suction cup assembly 21 and the second suction cup assembly 22 can be axially rotated to change the orientation of the suction cups, so as to use the first suction cup assembly 21 and the second suction cup assembly 22 respectively to adsorb and grasp the page to be assembled.

[0024] Specifically, the operating principle of this dual-station transfer device will be described below:

[0025] Step 1) When it is necessary to use the dual-station transfer device for material picking and assembly, start the dual-station transfer device. The vertical axis moving component of the servo module 1 (such as the moving component corresponding to the Z-axis) moves down to the second suction cup group 22 (or the first suction cup group 21) to pick up the material at the loading position, such as the boat page to be assembled.

[0026] Step 2) After successful material handling, the vertical axis moving component of servo module 1 moves upward to a safe position, and the horizontal axis moving component of servo module 1 (such as the moving component corresponding to the Y axis) moves horizontally to the working position.

[0027] After step 3) is in place, the vertical axis moving component of servo module 1 moves down to the material feeding position to feed the material. The worktable enters the assembly position to assemble the placed boat pages. The vertical axis moving component of servo module 1 moves up to the standby position to standby.

[0028] Step 4) Servo module 1 moves to the loading position, the vertical axis moving component of servo module 1 moves down to pick up the second boat sheet, and moves to the unloading standby position. The double suction cup group 2 rotates at an angle and hovers in standby.

[0029] Step 5) After assembly is completed, the worktable retracts to the loading position, and the first suction cup group 21 (or the second suction cup group 22) descends to pick up the assembled boat blade.

[0030] Step 6) After the first suction cup group 21 (or the second suction cup group 22) has finished picking up the material, it rotates in the opposite direction, that is, the double suction cup group 2 rotates in the opposite direction. The second suction cup group 22 (or the first suction cup group 21) places the second boat sheet, and then moves up to the standby position.

[0031] Step 7) The horizontal axis moving component of servo module 1 moves to the unloading position, the double suction cup group 2 rotates and is lowered to assemble the boat, and the vertical axis moving component of servo module 1 moves up and then rotates in the opposite direction.

[0032] Step 8) The horizontal axis moving component of the servo module 1 moves to the loading and unloading position, and the second suction cup group 22 (or the first suction cup group 21) picks up the third boat sheet, and the cycle continues until all boat sheets are processed.

[0033] The dual-station transfer device provided in this embodiment of the utility model is based on the angle flipping of the double suction cup group 2 with a preset installation angle, which realizes the buffering of the boat page, reduces the ineffective reciprocating motion and waiting time of the truss system, and improves production efficiency.

[0034] Optionally, the preset installation angle between the first suction cup group 21 and the second suction cup group 22 is 90 degrees. This arrangement allows one suction cup group to be installed vertically downwards while the other suction cup group is installed at a 90-degree angle to it. For example, if the suction cups are installed horizontally, this design ensures that the flaps gripped by the two suction cup groups do not interfere with each other.

[0035] Optionally, the dual suction cup assembly 2 can rotate at an angle of 90 degrees. That is, when rotating the angle, the suction cup assembly that was originally vertically downward can be turned to a horizontal position, and the suction cup assembly that was originally horizontal can be turned to a vertically downward position, which facilitates page flipping, position changing and conversion, and facilitates reuse of the same position.

[0036] Optionally, the dual-station transfer device may further include a sensor detection system, which is used to detect the execution of actions, that is, to detect whether the actions have been completed, so as to ensure that dangerous conditions such as machine collisions will not occur.

[0037] Optionally, the dual-station transfer device may further include a control system, which coordinates the control of the servo module 1 and the dual suction cup group 2 to coordinate the control of each component and system to complete the predetermined process actions.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
