Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation or storage technology, specifically a novel graphite boat handling device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy sources, silicon wafer production capacity has increased from 1GW to 8-10GW, leading to a surge in the use of graphite boats. This has resulted in a higher frequency of manual handling of graphite boats, which, due to fatigue, reduces efficiency. A fully automated, mobile boat-handling device is needed to maintain operational stability. Simultaneously, the size of graphite boats has increased from 1 meter to 2 meters, and they are characterized by fragility and high cost. Currently, to achieve stable handling efficiency, graphite boat manufacturers use a combination of machines and handling devices, but this places excessive demands on the machines and has limitations. Furthermore, the current passive receiving method, where machines deliver the graphite boats to the handling device, requires additional conveyor systems on the machines to work with the handling device. This results in low adaptability of the handling device and high demands on the machines; machines without conveyor systems cannot operate automatically, and adding a conveyor system to each machine is prohibitively expensive. Moreover, the workshop has a large variety and quantity of equipment, and the storage boats for different machines vary greatly. There are also significant deviations between machines of the same type. Furthermore, the reserved gap for placing the boats is only 3mm, while the positioning error of the AGV reaches ±10mm. Currently, there are AGV-backed robotic arm handling devices on the market, but they are too small for graphite boats and cannot achieve the purpose of handling graphite boats. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a novel graphite boat handling device that can adapt to various machines at a lower cost and can simultaneously handle two or more graphite boats, effectively solving the problem of insufficient graphite boat placement accuracy.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a novel graphite boat handling device, comprising an AGV mobile base, an AGV trolley interface pre-set at the lower part of the AGV mobile base, a graphite boat storage component fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the base frame of the AGV mobile base, a liftable graphite boat gripping component installed inside the base frame, a gripping component connecting seat of the graphite boat gripping component fixedly connected to a telescopic slide rail bracket, a telescopic slide rail and an electrically controlled telescopic screw fixedly installed on the upper part of the telescopic slide rail bracket, the electrically controlled telescopic screw controlling the telescopic base of the boat handling arm to move back and forth on the telescopic slide rail, a boat handling arm reversing base fixedly installed on the boat handling arm telescopic base, a boat handling arm mounting on the boat handling arm reversing base via a rotating shaft, one end of the reversing control telescopic rod hinged to the boat handling arm telescopic base, and the other end eccentrically hinged to the boat handling arm.

[0005] In addition, the novel graphite boat handling device proposed according to the above embodiments of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the boat-moving arm includes a camera, an opening and closing boat-moving arm, a photoelectric sensor, a boat-moving arm opening and closing control motor, and a boat-moving arm opening and closing base. The opening and closing boat-moving arm is installed at both ends of the boat-moving arm opening and closing base via slide rails and sliders, respectively. The boat-moving arm opening and closing control motor, which is fixedly installed on the boat-moving arm opening and closing base, drives the boat-moving arm to open and close via a lead screw. The camera is fixedly installed on the inner side of the opening and closing boat-moving arm, and photoelectric sensors are fixedly installed at the front and rear of the boat-moving protrusion at the lower end of the opening and closing boat-moving arm, respectively.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the boat-moving arm reversing base is connected to the boat-moving arm reversing base by a reversing control gear shaft, and the output shaft of the reversing control motor fixedly installed on the boat-moving arm reversing base engages with the reversing control gear shaft through gear meshing.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the AGV mobile base includes a base frame and a lifting control screw. The lifting control screw driven by the lifting control motor is vertically installed inside the base frame. The lifting base of the gripping component is installed on both sides of the gripping component lifting base through slide rails. The gripping component lifting base and the lifting control screw are fixedly connected by the gripping component connecting seat of the graphite boat gripping component. The control machine is fixedly installed inside the base frame.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the graphite boat storage assembly includes a graphite boat storage platform control motor, a movable graphite boat storage position, and a fixed graphite boat storage position.

The fixed graphite boat storage position is fixedly installed near the outer side of the base frame. Both the movable graphite boat storage position and the fixed graphite boat storage position are equipped with graphite boat storage position limit blocks.

[0010] By means of the above solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages: through the overall simplified design and the addition of a barcode scanner to the lower part of the AGV mobile base, along with a camera and photoelectric sensor, the equipment can be compatible with various models of machines and can adapt to various machines at a lower cost. By integrating the graphite boat gripping component and the graphite boat storage component into the AGV mobile base, the equipment can transport two graphite boats at the same time. By adding a graphite boat fixed storage position structure through the movable storage position of the graphite boat and the graphite boat storage position limiting block in the graphite boat storage component, the accuracy of graphite boat placement can be increased, which can effectively solve the problem of insufficient graphite boat placement accuracy.

[0018] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a novel graphite boat handling device according to this utility model.

[0019] In Embodiment 1 of this application, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this novel graphite boat handling device (hereinafter referred to as "the present invention") includes an AGV mobile base 1 and a graphite boat storage component 3. The AGV mobile base 1 has an AGV trolley interface pre-installed at its lower part. The graphite boat storage component 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the base frame 11 of the AGV mobile base 1. A liftable graphite boat gripping component 2 is installed inside the base frame 11. The gripping component connecting seat 21 of the graphite boat gripping component 2 is fixedly connected to a telescopic slide rail bracket 22. Telescopic slide rail 23 and electrically controlled telescopic screw 24 are fixedly installed on the upper part of slide rail bracket 22. The electrically controlled telescopic screw 24 controls the telescopic base 25 of the AGV to move back and forth on the telescopic slide rail 23. The AGV to directional base 27 is fixedly installed on the telescopic base 25. The AGV to directional base 27 is installed on the AGV to directional base 27 through a rotating shaft. One end of the directional control telescopic rod 26 is hinged to the telescopic base 25 of the AGV, and the other end is eccentrically hinged to the AGV to 28. A barcode scanner 4 is installed on the lower part of the AGV mobile base 1. The boat-moving arm 28 includes a camera 281, an opening and closing boat-moving arm 282, a photoelectric sensor 283, a boat-moving arm opening and closing control motor 284, and a boat-moving arm opening and closing base 285. The opening and closing boat-moving arm 282 is mounted on both ends of the boat-moving arm opening and closing base 285 via slide rails and sliders, respectively. The boat-moving arm opening and closing control motor 284, which is fixedly mounted on the boat-moving arm opening and closing base 285, drives the boat-moving arm 282 to open and close via a lead screw. The camera 281 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the opening and closing boat-moving arm 282. The photoelectric sensor 283 is fixedly mounted on the front and rear of the boat-moving protrusion at the lower end of the opening and closing boat-moving arm 282, respectively.

[0020] This second embodiment is basically the same in structure as the first embodiment, the difference being that, as Figure 5 As shown, the boat-moving arm reversing base 27 is connected to the boat-moving arm reversing base 27 via a reversing control gear shaft 291. The output shaft of the reversing control motor 29, which is fixedly installed on the boat-moving arm reversing base 27, engages with the reversing control gear shaft 291 via gear meshing.

[0021] To further optimize the efficiency of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the AGV mobile base 1 includes a base frame 11, a controller 12, a lifting control motor 13, a gripping component lifting base 14, and a lifting control screw 15. The lifting control screw 15, driven by the lifting control motor 13, is vertically installed inside the base frame 11. Gripping component lifting bases 14 are mounted on both sides via slide rails. The gripping component lifting base 14 and the lifting control screw 15 are connected by a gripping component connecting seat 21 of the graphite boat gripping component 2. The controller 12 is fixedly installed inside the base frame 11. Figure 6As shown, the graphite boat storage assembly 3 includes a graphite boat storage platform control motor 31, a movable graphite boat storage position 32, a graphite boat storage position limiting block 33, and a fixed graphite boat storage position 34. The graphite boat storage platform control motor 31 drives the movable graphite boat storage position 32 to move back and forth along the slide rail. The fixed graphite boat storage position 34 is fixedly installed on the base frame 11 near the outer side. Both the movable graphite boat storage position 32 and the fixed graphite boat storage position 34 are equipped with graphite boat storage position limiting blocks 33.

[0022] When in use, a new type of graphite boat handling device is installed, and corresponding markings are laid on the factory floor, and the equipment can be put into use.

[0023] When this utility model is used, its specific operation is as follows:

[0024] In use, the AGV trolley enters and connects to the lower part of the AGV mobile base 1, proceeds along the marked lines to the front of the machine, and after reaching its position, the barcode scanner 4 locates it using the QR code affixed to the ground. Then, the lifting control motor 13 controls the graphite boat gripping component 2 to rise and fall to a suitable height under the limit of the gripping component lifting base 14 via the lifting control screw 15. The electric telescopic screw 24 of the graphite boat gripping component 2 pushes the boat-moving arm telescopic base 25 forward along the telescopic slide rail 23 to a suitable position. The camera 281 simultaneously observes the position of the machine and the graphite boat, and, in conjunction with the directional control telescopic rod 26, controls the boat-moving arm 28 to adjust its angle on the boat-moving arm directional base 27 to match the placement angle of the graphite boat. Next, the lowering control motor 13 controls the graphite boat gripping component 2 to rise and fall to a suitable height under the limit of the gripping component lifting base 14 via the lifting control screw 15, and the boat-moving arm 28 moves forward to the suitable position. The arm opening and closing control motor 284 controls the opening and closing of the boat-moving arm 282 to open to a suitable angle via a lead screw. After it is in position, the boat-moving arm opening and closing control motor 284 controls the opening and closing of the boat-moving arm 282 to close via a lead screw, so that the boat-moving protrusions of the two symmetrically arranged opening and closing boat-moving arms 282 can grab the graphite boat. Then, the electrically controlled telescopic lead screw 24 of the graphite boat grabbing component 2 pushes the telescopic base 25 of the boat-moving arm to retract along the telescopic slide rail 23. Simultaneously, the lifting control motor 13 controls the graphite boat grabbing component 2 to descend from the lifting base 14 of the grabbing component to the movable storage position 32 or the fixed storage position 34 of the graphite boat storage component 3 via the lifting control lead screw 15. When placing the graphite boat, the graphite boat storage position limit block 33 equipped with the movable storage position 32 and the fixed storage position 34 can guide the graphite boat to accurately lock into the position through its own rollers.

[0025] Once loading is complete, the equipment can proceed to the unloading position to reverse the operation and unload the graphite boat onto the corresponding machine.

[0026] In summary, this novel graphite boat handling device, through its simplified overall design and the addition of a barcode scanner 4 to the lower part of the AGV mobile base 1, along with a camera 281 and a photoelectric sensor 283, allows the device to be compatible with various machine models and can adapt to multiple machine types at a lower cost. By integrating the graphite boat gripping component 2 and the graphite boat storage component 3 into the AGV mobile base 1, the device can simultaneously handle two graphite boats. The addition of a fixed graphite boat storage position 34 to the movable storage position 32 and the graphite boat storage position limiting block 33 within the graphite boat storage component 3 increases the accuracy of graphite boat placement, effectively solving the problem of insufficient graphite boat placement accuracy.
