Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sample placement rack, including a cuboid frame 1 and a workpiece mounting station 2, wherein,

[0030] Two of the four sides of the cuboid frame 1 are open, and the other two opposite sides are equipped with mounting panels 3.

[0031] The workpiece installation stations 2 are arranged in pairs, and multiple sets are provided. The two workpiece installation stations 2 in each set are symmetrically spaced apart. The multiple sets of workpiece installation stations 2 are detachably installed on the mounting panel 3 along the height direction of the mounting panel 3.

[0032] In the above technical solution, by installing mounting panels 3 with workpiece mounting stations 2 on two opposite sides of the cuboid frame 1, the detachable connection between the workpiece mounting stations 2 and the mounting panels 3 allows for adjustment of the number and spacing of workpiece mounting stations 2 to meet the placement requirements of workpieces of different shapes and specifications. The open setting of the other two opposite sides of the cuboid 1 allows the robotic arm to grip samples from these two opposite sides without obstruction. Example 2

[0033] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the sample placement rack provided in this embodiment differs from the sample placement rack provided in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0034] To achieve a detachable connection between the mounting panel 3 and the workpiece mounting station 2, the mounting panel 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 301 evenly arranged along the height direction. The mounting panel 3 is detachably connected to the workpiece mounting station 2 through the mounting holes 301. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 301 on one mounting panel 3 is set to ten, and a maximum of ten workpiece mounting stations 2 can be installed on the mounting panel 3, but it is not limited to this and can also be other numbers, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0035] The workpiece installation station 2 includes a flat plate support 201 and a positioning sensor 202. The side of the flat plate support 201 is fixed to the mounting hole 301 by bolts. The positioning sensor 202 is installed at the bottom of the flat plate support 201. The positioning sensor 202 can detect whether a sample is placed on the flat plate support 201, thereby facilitating the placement of the sample.

[0036] To achieve the installation and detection of the position sensor 202, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a detection hole 203 and a sensor bracket 204. The positioning sensor 202 is mounted on the plate support 201 via the sensor bracket 204. The detection hole 203 is opened on the plate support 201 and is located on the top of the positioning sensor 202. In this embodiment, the positioning sensor 202 is a reflective photoelectric sensor. The positioning sensor 202 is mounted on the bottom side of the plate support 201 via the sensor bracket 204. The transmitter and receiver in the reflective photoelectric sensor are located on the same side. The light emitted by the transmitter passes through the detection hole 203 and illuminates the sample surface, and is reflected back and received by the receiver, thereby realizing positioning detection.

[0037] To achieve support for the workpiece, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support surface of the flat plate support 201 is also provided with a plurality of support positions 205. The support positions 205 are grooved. Since workpieces of different shapes and specifications, such as steel bars, round bars or round pipes, will be placed on the workpiece installation station 2, the groove shape of the support position 205 can be set according to the actual placement requirements to meet the placement requirements of different workpieces. In this embodiment, the number of support positions 205 on the flat plate support 201 is three, so that three samples can be placed on each workpiece installation station 2.

[0038] To ensure the effectiveness of the positioning detection, multiple positioning sensors 202 are provided, and each of the multiple positioning sensors 202 corresponds to one of the multiple support positions 205.

[0039] To ensure the overall stability of the material rack, a support foot 4 is also included, which is installed on the bottom side of the cuboid frame 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, to meet the sample placement requirements, such as Figure 4 As shown, the workpiece mounting station 2 is provided in ten groups, and the cuboid frame 1 is provided in five groups. The five groups of cuboid frames 1 are symmetrically distributed in a fan shape, and the adjacent faces of the five groups of cuboid frames 1 are the faces on which the mounting panel 3 is installed. The only difference between the cuboid frames 1 in each group is the shape of the groove at the support position 205, so that different cuboid frames 1 can hold different samples. In this embodiment, two groups of cuboid frames 1 are arranged to hold round bar samples, two groups of cuboid frames 1 are arranged to hold round tube samples, and the other group of cuboid frames 1 is arranged to hold steel bar samples. It can simultaneously hold 30 steel bar samples, 60 round bar samples, and 60 round tube samples, for a total of 150 samples. The multiple cuboid frames 1 are symmetrically distributed in a fan shape, and the adjacent faces are all mounting panels 3, which also facilitates the placement and removal of samples.

[0041] The sample placement rack provided in this embodiment is constructed with aluminum alloy, which, as a standardized material, avoids processing difficulties.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
