[0060] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" 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 between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0061] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides an automatic waffle box loading device that can remove the adapter 20 from the container 30, load the waffle box 10 into the adapter 20, and load the adapter 20 containing the waffle box 10 back into the container 30.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 The surface of the waffle box 10 is provided with multiple grooves 11, each groove 11 for mounting the chip 12.

[0063] refer to Figure 2 The surface of the adapter 20 is provided with multiple loading areas, each loading area being surrounded by multiple stops 21.

[0064] Optionally, each loading area of ​​the adapter 20 is provided with at least one elastic clip, which is configured to move towards the waffle box 10 under elastic force to secure the waffle box 10 to the adapter 20. For example, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic clamp includes a shaft 22, a clamping block 23, and a force-receiving block 24. The shaft 22 passes through the stop block 21 along its thickness direction, and an elastic element, such as a spring, is provided between the shaft 22 and the stop block 21. This elastic element allows the shaft 22 to move axially towards the waffle box 10 when no external force is applied. The clamping block 23 is installed at the end of the shaft 22 closest to the waffle box 10. The clamping block 23 is used to compress the waffle box 10 when the shaft 22 moves axially towards the waffle box 10, thus achieving clamping. The force-receiving block 24 is installed at the end of the shaft 22 furthest from the waffle box 10. The force-receiving block 24 transmits tensile force to the shaft 22, causing the shaft 22 to move axially away from the waffle box 10. When the shaft 22 moves axially away from the waffle box 10, it drives the clamping block 23 to move closer to the stop block 21, allowing the waffle box 10 to be loaded into the loading area.

[0065] refer to Figure 3 The material box 30 contains multiple adapters 20, which are stacked. In a specific configuration, multiple brackets are arranged along the height direction inside the material box 30, and each bracket is equipped with an adapter 20.

[0066] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the material box 30 is provided with a loading and unloading port 31, which is used for loading and unloading the adapter 20.

[0067] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the automatic waffle box loading device includes a work platform 100, a loading / unloading unit 200, a fixing unit 300, a conveying unit 400, and a handling unit 500. A material box 30 is provided on the work platform 100, and an adapter 20 is contained within the material box 30. The side of the material box 30 has a loading / unloading port 31 for loading and unloading the adapter 20. The loading / unloading unit 200 is configured to remove or load the adapter 20 from the material box 30. The fixing unit 300 is configured to fix the removed adapter 20 to prevent it from moving due to external forces during loading, thus affecting the loading effect. The conveying unit 400 is configured to convey the waffle box 10 from the loading area to the handling area. The handling unit 500 is configured to handle the waffle box 10 from the conveying unit 400 (handling area) to the fixing unit 300 to load the waffle box 10 onto the adapter 20. The loading steps of the device include: the loading and unloading unit 200 takes out the adapter 20 from the material box 30, the fixing unit 300 fixes the taken-out adapter 20, the conveying unit 400 conveys the waffle box 10 to the handling area, the handling unit 500 handles the waffle box 10 from the handling area to the adapter 20 on the fixing unit 300, and finally the loading and unloading unit 200 puts the adapter 20 containing the waffle box 10 into the material box 30.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the loading / unloading unit 200 includes a track 210, a movable support 220, a clamp 230, and a drive mechanism 240. The track 210 extends horizontally and is disposed on the work platform 100. The movable support 220 is disposed on the track 210 and is movable along the extension direction of the track 210, and the fixing unit 300 is located on the movement trajectory of the movable support 220. The clamp 230 is disposed on the movable support 220 and is capable of clamping or releasing the adapter 20. The drive mechanism 240 is disposed on the work platform 100 and connected to the movable support 220, and is capable of driving the movable support 220 to move horizontally relative to the work platform 100. It can be seen that the loading / unloading unit 200 uses the clamp 230 to clamp the adapter 20, and changes the position of the clamp 230 and the clamped adapter 20 by horizontally moving the movable support 220, thereby removing the adapter 20 from the material box 30. Specifically, during the process of removing the adapter 20, the movable support 220 first moves the clamp 230 to the loading / unloading position, where the clamp 230 can grip the adapter 20. Then, the movable support 220 moves the clamp 230 and the gripped adapter 20 to a fixed position, allowing the fixing unit 300 to secure the adapter 20. Subsequently, the conveying unit 500 can load the waffle box 10 into the adapter 20. After the adapter 20 fills the waffle box 10, the movable support 220 moves the clamp 230 and the gripped adapter 20 back to the loading / unloading position. At this point, the clamp 230 releases the adapter 20, allowing it to be loaded into the material box 30. This configuration enables both removing the adapter 20 from and loading it into the material box 30. In this paper, the clamp 230 can be a pneumatic gripper, an electric gripper, etc.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 The drive mechanism 240 includes two rollers 241, a belt 242, and a motor 243. The two rollers 241 are rotatably mounted on the work platform 100 via a bracket. The belt 242 is fitted over the two rollers 241 and connected to a movable bracket 220. The motor 243 is mounted on the work platform 100 and connected to one of the rollers 241. When the motor 243 starts, it drives the rollers 241 to rotate circumferentially. This rotation drives the belt 242, which in turn moves the movable bracket 220 along the extension direction of the track 210. However, this embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0070] refer to Figure 4The drive mechanism 240 also includes a sensor 244, which is positioned on the movement trajectory of the movable support 220. The sensor 244 detects the positioning information of the movable support 220 and feeds it back to the control center, so that the control center controls the motor 243 to stop, causing the movable support 220 to stop at a designated position for subsequent operations. For example, when the movable support 220 stops at the loading / unloading position, the control center controls the clamp 230 to clamp or release the adapter 20 to load or unload the adapter 20. As another example, when the movable support 220 stops at the initial position, the control center controls the transport unit 500 to transport the waffle box 10 from the transport area to the adapter 20 on the fixed unit 300. However, this embodiment does not limit the scope of the application.

[0071] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the material box 30 contains multiple adapters 20, which are stacked. The work platform 100 is provided with a height adjustment mechanism 110, which can adjust the height of the material box 30 relative to the loading and unloading unit 200 so that each adapter 20 can be adapted to the loading and unloading height of the loading and unloading unit 200. This arrangement simplifies the construction and control procedures of the loading and unloading unit 200.

[0072] refer to Figure 3 The height adjustment mechanism 110 includes a support platform 111 and a lifting assembly. The support platform 111 is disposed on the working platform 100 and is movable in the height direction, supporting the material box 30. The lifting assembly is disposed on the working platform 100 and connected to the support platform 111, and can drive the support platform 111 to move relative to the working platform 100 in the height direction. For example, the lifting assembly includes a mounting frame 112 and a first cylinder 113. The mounting frame 112 is mounted on the bottom surface of the working platform 100, and the first cylinder 113 is mounted on the mounting frame 112, with its extension rod connected to the support platform 111. When the extension rod of the first cylinder 113 extends, the support platform 111 can move vertically upward through the through hole 101 on the working platform 100, thereby raising the material box 30. When the extension rod of the first cylinder 113 retracts, the support platform 111 can move vertically downward through the through hole 101 on the working platform 100, thereby lowering the material box 30. In this document, through hole 101 refers to a through hole 101 that extends through the height of the working platform 100. However, the embodiments of this application do not limit this in any way.

[0073] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the fixing unit 300 includes a lifting platform 310 and a limiting member 320. The lifting platform 310 is disposed on the working platform 100 and is movable in the height direction. The lifting platform 310 is used to support and lift the removed adapter 20. The limiting member 320 is disposed on the working platform 100 via a support plate and is located above the lifting platform 310. The limiting member 320 can cooperate with the lifting platform 310 to clamp the removed adapter 20. Specifically, the adapter 20 removed by the loading and unloading unit 200 can be first placed on the lifting platform 310, and then the lifting platform 310 moves upward until the upper surface of the adapter 20 contacts the limiting member 320, that is, the lifting platform 310 and the limiting member 320 clamp and fix the adapter 20. This arrangement can fix the removed adapter 20. It should be understood that since the fixing unit 300 needs to move the adapter 20 upwards when fixing it, the loading and unloading unit 200 can move to a position away from the fixing unit 300 (such as the end of the track 210 away from the material box 30) after placing the adapter 20 on the lifting platform 310 to avoid interference. In this document, the limiting member 320 can be a plate-like structure, a strip-like structure, etc.

[0074] In some embodiments, the conveying unit 400 may be a roller conveyor, a belt conveyor 242, or the like. Specifically, the conveying unit 400 extends from the loading area to the handling area so that the conveying unit 400 can transport the waffle box 10 from the loading area to the handling area.

[0075] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The conveying unit 400 includes a first conveyor belt 410 and a second conveyor belt 420, which are used to convey waffle boxes 10 of different sizes. For example, the first conveyor belt 410 and the second conveyor belt 420 are arranged side by side, wherein the first conveyor belt 410 is used to convey 2-inch waffle boxes 10 and the second conveyor belt 420 is used to convey 4-inch waffle boxes 10. However, the embodiments of this application do not limit this in any way.

[0076] refer to Figures 3 to 6In some embodiments, the handling unit 500 includes a robot 510 and a picking mechanism 520. The robot 510 is disposed on the work platform 100 and connected to the picking mechanism 520. The robot 510 can move the picking mechanism 520 from the conveying unit 400 to the fixed unit 300. The picking mechanism 520 can pick up the waffle box 10 and load the waffle box 10 into the adapter 20 when it moves to the fixed unit 300. In practical use, after the picking mechanism 520 picks up the waffle box 10, the robot 510 can first move the waffle box 10 horizontally above the adapter 20, and then the robot 510 can lower the picking mechanism 520 to load the waffle box 10 into the adapter 20. This configuration enables the handling and loading of the waffle box 10 into the adapter 20.

[0077] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The picking mechanism 520 includes a base 521 and a suction cup 522. The base 521 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface being connected to the robot 510. The suction cup 522 is disposed on the second surface and is used to pick up the waffle box 10. Specifically, the picking mechanism 520 can use the suction cup 522 to pick up the waffle box 10. Correspondingly, the picking mechanism 520 should also be equipped with a vacuum system. When it is necessary to pick up the waffle box 10, the vacuum system is controlled to perform vacuuming, which allows the suction cup 522 to pick up the waffle box 10 to achieve the picking function. When it is necessary to load the waffle box 10, the vacuum system stops vacuuming, which can release the picking function of the suction cup 522, so that the suction cup 522 stops in the adapter 20. In this document, the first surface and the second surface refer to the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the base 521, respectively. However, the embodiments of this application do not limit this in any way.

[0078] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The picking mechanism 520 also includes grippers 523, which are disposed on the second surface and are used to grip the waffle box 10 adsorbed by the suction cup 522. In other words, the picking mechanism 520 uses the suction cup 522 to adsorb the waffle box 10 and clamps it, thus enhancing the picking function and reducing the risk of it falling during transport. In this document, the grippers 523 are arranged in pairs, and these paired grippers 523 rotate relative to the base 521 to switch between a clamping state and a releasing state. However, this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0079] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The picking mechanism 520 also includes a clamp opener, which is disposed on the side of the base 521. The clamp opener is configured to drive the elastic clamp to move away from the waffle box 10 when the waffle box 10 approaches the adapter 20, so that the waffle box 10 can be loaded onto the adapter 20. For example, the clamp opener includes a second cylinder 524 and a push block 525. The second cylinder 524 is mounted on the side of the base 521 with its telescopic rod pointing downwards. The push block 525 is disposed at the lower end of the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 524, and the lower end of the push block 525 is pointed (such as conical, oblique triangular, etc.). During the process of the pickup mechanism 520 lowering to install the waffle box 10, the lower end of the push block 525 is inserted between the stop block 21 and the force-bearing block 24. Furthermore, during the continued descent, the push block 525 can apply pressure to the force-bearing block 24, causing it to move the shaft 22 axially away from the waffle box 10. As the shaft 22 moves axially away from the waffle box 10, the elastic element accumulates elastic potential energy and moves the clamping block 23 closer to the stop block 21, allowing the waffle box 10 to be loaded into the loading area. It should be understood that after the waffle box 10 is loaded into the loading area, as the pickup mechanism 520 resets, the pressure of the push block 525 on the force-bearing block 24 disappears, and the shaft 22 can reset under the elastic force of the elastic element, thereby moving the clamping block 23 closer to the waffle box 10, allowing the clamping block 23 to cooperate with the opposing stop block 21 to clamp the waffle box 10.

[0080] The automatic waffle box loading device of this application embodiment can realize the automatic loading of waffle box 10, so as to solve the problems of low efficiency, easy chip drop or misplacement during manual operation.
