[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a shaping mechanism and handling equipment that can automatically sort the shape of materials.

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a shaping mechanism, including a support, a carrier, an adsorption component, a driving assembly, and a shaping assembly. The carrier is disposed on the support and includes a bearing surface. The adsorption component is disposed on the support and is used to adsorb material onto the bearing surface. The driving assembly is disposed on the support. The shaping assembly is disposed on the support and connected to the driving assembly. The shaping assembly is used to clamp the outer surface of the material in the bearing surface under the drive of the driving assembly to shape the material.

[0005] In the aforementioned shaping mechanism, the material is adsorbed onto the supporting surface by an adsorption component, and the outer circumference of the material is clamped by a shaping assembly to shape and size the material. The adsorption component positions the shaped material on the supporting surface without affecting its shape. Therefore, the adsorption component and the shaping mechanism work together on the material without interfering with each other to shape and size the material and fix it to the supporting surface. This shaping mechanism has a high degree of automation and can improve the material handling efficiency.

[0006] In some embodiments, the shaping mechanism further includes a stop assembly, which includes a power member and a lifting member connected to each other. The power member is mounted on a bracket and is used to drive the lifting member to move along a first direction. The lifting member includes a stop surface facing the bearing surface and parallel to the bearing surface. The stop surface can move close to the bearing surface when the lifting member moves along the first direction to press the material against the bearing surface.

[0007] In some embodiments, the bracket is connected to a first driving member, which is connected to a carrier and is used to drive the carrier to move along a first direction so that the carrier surface can press against the material.

[0008] In some embodiments, a first driving member is connected to a sheet metal part, and the sheet metal part is connected to an adsorption member, so that the adsorption member moves together with the carrier member along a first direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adsorption element includes an extension tube and a suction cup. One end of the extension tube is connected to the suction cup, and the other end of the extension tube is configured to be connected to a negative pressure source. The negative pressure source provides negative pressure to allow the suction cup to adsorb material. There are two sets of adsorption elements, which are spaced apart along a second direction. Along the second direction, the two sets of adsorption elements can adsorb material located on opposite sides of the carrier. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, the shaping component includes two sets of clamps, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the carrier in a third direction; the two sets of clamps can move towards each other in the third direction under the drive of the driving component, and the two sets of clamps apply a force towards each other in the third direction to the material.

[0011] In some embodiments, each set of clamps includes at least two clamping plates, which are spaced apart along a second direction and located on opposite sides of the carrier, with the second direction perpendicular to the third direction; each clamping plate has an arc surface, and under the drive of the drive assembly, the movement directions of at least two clamping plates in each set of clamps form an angle α, so that at least two arc surfaces in each set of clamps can clamp materials from opposite sides of the carrier in the second direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a second drive member, two mounting plates, and two guide members. The second drive member is disposed on the bracket and connected to the two mounting plates. The second drive member is used to drive the two mounting plates to move towards each other in a third direction. Each mounting plate is used to connect two clamps in a set of clamps. The guide members are disposed on the bracket, connect the mounting plates and the clamps, and are used to guide the movement of the mounting plates and the clamps.

[0013] In some embodiments, each set of guides includes a first guide rail and two second guide rails. Both the first and second guide rails are mounted on a bracket. The mounting plate is slidably mounted on the first guide rail. The first guide rail extends along a third direction and is used to guide the mounting plate to move along the third direction. Each clamping plate is slidably mounted on one second guide rail. The extending directions of the two second guide rails form an angle α. The second guide rails are used to guide the movement of the clamping plates, so that the directions of movement of the two clamping plates in each set of clamps are at an angle α.

[0014] Embodiments of this application also provide a handling device, including a robotic arm and the shaping mechanism of the previous embodiment. The robotic arm is connected to the shaping mechanism and is used to drive the shaping mechanism to move toward the loading component and to apply force to the material toward the loading component, so that the bearing surface presses the material against the loading component.

[0015] In the aforementioned material handling equipment, a robotic arm drives a shaping mechanism to move towards the material, enabling the shaping mechanism to grasp the material and adjust its shape and size. The robotic arm then drives the shaping mechanism towards a loading component, transferring the shaped material into the loading component. Therefore, this material handling equipment can load materials into loading components, exhibits a high degree of automation, and improves the assembly efficiency of materials and loading components.

[0021] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this application. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] When packaging cables for electronic products, workers retrieve cables from trays, inspect and shape them, and then place them into packaging boxes. However, this manual operation results in low automation, leading to low efficiency in cable handling and assembly.

[0027] Embodiments of this application provide a shaping mechanism, including a support, a carrier, an adsorption component, a driving assembly, and a shaping assembly. The carrier is disposed on the support and includes a bearing surface. The adsorption component is disposed on the support and is used to adsorb material onto the bearing surface. The driving assembly is disposed on the support. The shaping assembly is disposed on the support and connected to the driving assembly. The shaping assembly is used to clamp the outer surface of the material in the bearing surface under the drive of the driving assembly to shape the material.

[0028] In the aforementioned shaping mechanism, the material is adsorbed onto the supporting surface by an adsorption component, and the outer circumference of the material is clamped by a shaping assembly to shape and size the material. The adsorption component positions the shaped material on the supporting surface without affecting its shape. Therefore, the adsorption component and the shaping mechanism work together on the material without interfering with each other to shape and size the material and fix it to the supporting surface. This shaping mechanism has a high degree of automation and can improve the material handling efficiency.

[0029] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the various embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this application provides a handling device (not shown), including a robotic arm (not shown) and a shaping mechanism 100. The robotic arm is connected to the shaping mechanism 100. The shaping mechanism 100 can adsorb material 200 and shape and size the material 200 so that a loading device (not shown) can accommodate the shaped material 200. The robotic arm can drive the shaping mechanism 100 to move in three-dimensional space.

[0031] In some embodiments, the shaping mechanism 100 is first moved toward the material 200 by a robotic arm, so that the shaping mechanism 100 can grasp the material 200 and shape and size it. Then, the shaping mechanism 100 is moved toward the loading container by a robotic arm, so that the shaping mechanism 100 transfers the shaped material 200 into the loading container.

[0032] Therefore, the above-mentioned handling equipment can assemble materials 200 and loading components, with a high degree of automation, which can improve the assembly efficiency of materials 200 and loading components.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, material 200 is a cable. The loading component is a packaging box with a receiving space. The receiving space can accommodate the cable. As an exemplary example, the loading component is a mobile phone packaging box. Material 200 is a mobile phone data cable.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the shaping mechanism 100 includes a support 10, a carrier 20, an adsorption member 30, a drive assembly 40, and a shaping assembly 50. The support 10 is used to connect a robotic arm. The carrier 20, adsorption member 30, drive assembly 40, and shaping assembly 50 are all disposed on the support 10. The carrier 20 includes a bearing surface 21, and the adsorption member 30 is used to adsorb material 200 onto the bearing surface 21. The drive assembly 40 is connected to the shaping assembly 50, and the shaping assembly 50 can clamp the outer surface of the material 200 in the bearing surface 21 under the drive of the drive assembly 40 to shape and size the material 200.

[0035] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the aforementioned shaping mechanism 100, the material 200 is adsorbed onto the bearing surface 21 by the adsorption member 30, and the outer peripheral surface of the material 200 is clamped by the shaping component 50 to shape and size the material 200, so that the shaped material 200 can be accommodated by the loading component. The adsorption member 30 can position the shaped material 200 on the bearing surface 21 without affecting its shape. Under the action of the robotic arm, the material 200 is transferred to the loading component, and the adsorption member 30 releases its adsorption of the material 200, allowing the material 200 to be loaded into the loading component. Compared to gripping and positioning the material 200 with a claw, using the adsorption member 30 to adsorb the material 200 does not affect its shape, nor does it affect the clamping of the material 200 by the shaping component 50.

[0036] Therefore, the adsorption element 30 and the shaping mechanism 100 can work together on the material 200 without interfering with each other, so as to shape and size the material 200 and fix the shaped material 200 on the bearing surface 21, so as to facilitate the assembly of the material 200 to the loading element. The shaping mechanism 100 has a high degree of automation and can improve the sorting efficiency of the material 200.

[0037] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the bracket 10 is fixedly connected to a first driving member 11. The first driving member 11 is fixedly connected to a support plate 111, and the support plate 111 is fixedly connected to the side of the carrier 20 facing away from the bearing surface 21. The first driving member 11 is used to drive the support plate 111 to move along a first direction Z, and the support plate 111 drives the carrier 20 to move along the first direction Z, so that the bearing surface 21 can press against the material 200.

[0038] When the material 200 is inside the loading component, the first driving component 11 drives the bearing component 20 to move toward the loading component, so that the bearing surface 21 applies pressure to the material 200 toward the loading component, thereby flattening and shaping the surface of the material 200, so that the material 200 loaded in the loading component can be maintained at a preset height.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction Z is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0040] In some embodiments, a silicone layer is stacked on the bearing surface 21 of the carrier 20. The silicone layer is used to directly contact the material 200 to prevent the carrier 20 from rigidly squeezing the material 200 when it presses against it, which would cause damage to the material 200.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first drive unit 11 is a linear drive module. The first drive unit 11 includes a slide cylinder or an electric linear guide. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0042] In some embodiments, a sheet metal part 112 is fixedly connected to the support plate 111. The sheet metal part 112 is used to connect the adsorption member 30. When the first driving member 11 drives the carrier member 20 to move along the first direction Z, the sheet metal part 112 causes the adsorption member 30 to move together with the carrier member 20 along the first direction Z.

[0043] When grabbing material 200, the first driving member 11 drives the adsorption member 30 to descend so that the adsorption member 30 can pick up material 200. When material 200 is inside the loading member, the adsorption member 30 and the bearing member 20 descend together to press the material 200 down onto the loading member, thereby flattening and shaping the surface of the material 200.

[0044] As the first driving member 11 drives the carrier member 20 to move toward the loading member, that is, as the carrier member 20 presses the material 200 against the loading member, the adsorption member 30 moves together with the carrier member 20 to prevent the material 200 from falling off during the movement.

[0045] In some embodiments, the adsorption member 30 includes an extension tube 31 and a suction cup 32. One end of the extension tube 31 is connected to the suction cup 32, and the other end of the extension tube 31 is configured to be connected to a negative pressure source. The negative pressure source provides negative pressure to the suction cup 32 through the extension tube 31, so that the suction cup 32 can adsorb the material 200.

[0046] The extension tube 31 extends along the first direction Z, enabling the suction cup 32 to adsorb the material 200 onto the bearing surface 21. The extension tube 31 is disposed on the sheet metal part 112 to fix the position of the adsorption member 30.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are two sets of adsorption members 30, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y on the sheet metal part 112. Along the second direction Y, the two sets of adsorption members 30 can adsorb material 200 located on opposite sides of the support member 20.

[0048] Along the second direction Y, part of the material 200 is exposed on the support member 20. The adsorption member 30 can simultaneously adsorb the part of the material 200 exposed on the support member 20 to more stably adsorb the material 200 to the support surface 21 and prevent the material 200 from falling off.

[0049] In the illustrated embodiment, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z.

[0050] In some embodiments, the shaping component 50 includes two sets of clamps 51. The two sets of clamps 51 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support member 20 along the third direction X. Under the drive of the driving component 40, the two sets of clamps 51 can move towards each other along the third direction X until the two sets of clamps 51 clamp the outer surface of the material 200 and apply a force towards each other along the third direction X to the material 200.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 By clamping the outer surface of the material 200 with two sets of clamps 51, the size of the material 200 can be compressed and the material 200 can be shaped so that the shape and size of the material 200 are adapted to the accommodating space of the loading component, that is, the accommodating space of the loading component can accommodate the material 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, two adsorption elements 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support element 20 along the second direction Y. Two clamps 51 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support element 20 along the third direction X, so that the adsorption elements 30 and clamps 51 do not interfere with each other during operation.

[0053] In the illustrated embodiment, the third direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Z. The third direction X and the second direction Y are two perpendicular horizontal directions.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, each set of clamps 51 includes two clamping plates 511. The two clamping plates 511 are spaced apart along the second direction Y and are located on opposite sides of the support member 20. Each clamping plate 511 has an arc surface 511a, and the arc surfaces 511a of the plurality of clamping plates 511 are arranged facing each other to clamp the outer surface of the material 200, and the arc surface 511a can be adapted to the shape of the outer surface of the material 200.

[0055] Please see Figure 3 Driven by the drive assembly 40, the two clamping plates 511 in each set of clamps 51 move in directions of angle α, so that the two arc surfaces 511a of each set of clamps 51 can clamp the material 200 from the opposite sides of the carrier 20 in the second direction Y.

[0056] Each set of clamps 51 is configured with two clamping plates 511. When the drive assembly 40 drives the clamps 51 to move along the third direction X, the two clamping plates 511 clamp the outer surface of the material 200 from opposite sides in the second direction Y. Compared to clamping the material 200 directly along the third direction X with two pairs of opposite sides, clamping the material 200 from opposite sides in the second direction Y with two clamping plates 511 makes the clamps 51 more versatile and applicable to materials 200 of different sizes.

[0057] In some embodiments, each set of clamps 51 includes a plurality of clamping plates 511 distributed around the periphery of the carrier 20 to clamp the material 200 in the carrier surface 21 under the drive of the drive assembly 40.

[0058] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the material 200 is the same as the shape of the running track of the playground. The outer contour of the material 200 includes a rectangular contour and two semicircular contours, with the two semicircular contours covering the two parallel sides of the rectangle.

[0059] In some embodiments, 45° < α < 90°. The arc surface 511a of each clamping plate 511 clamps the connection between the rectangular outline and the semi-circular outline of the material 200 respectively. The four clamping plates 511 clamp the material 200 diagonally in pairs, which can better compress the size of the material 200 and shape the outer outline of the material 200.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the included angle α is 60°. The clamping plate 511 is an arc-shaped clamping plate 511, with the side of the clamping plate 511 facing the material 200 being an arc surface 511a. The projection of the clamping plate 511 along the first direction Z is an arc, and the central angle corresponding to the arc length is the central angle β. 45° < β < 70°. The arc surface 511a of the clamping plate 511 can cover part of the outer surface of the material 200, facilitating the shaping of the outer surface of the material 200. The clamping plates 511 are also spaced apart from adjacent clamping plates 511, so that multiple clamping plates 511 can be relatively close to each other to clamp and compress the size of the material 200. In the illustrated embodiment, the central angle β is 60°.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the drive assembly 40 includes a second drive member 41, two mounting plates 42, and two guide members 43. The second drive member 41 is mounted on the end of the bracket 10 facing away from the support member 20. The second drive member 41 connects the two mounting plates 42 and drives the two mounting plates 42 to move towards or away from each other along a third direction X. Each mounting plate 42 is used to fix two clamping plates 511 in a set of clamping members 51. The guide members 43 are fixedly disposed on the bracket 10. The guide members 43 slidably connect the mounting plates 42 and the clamping plates 511 and guide the movement of the mounting plates 42 and the clamping plates 511.

[0062] When the second driving member 41 drives the two mounting plates 42 to move towards each other, the mounting plates 42 move along the third direction X, causing the two clamping plates 511 on the same mounting plate 42 to move closer to the material 200. The movement directions of the two clamping plates 511 on one mounting plate 42 are at an angle α, so that the arc surfaces 511a of the two clamping plates 511 clamp the material 200 from the opposite sides of the bearing member 20 in the second direction Y.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second driving member 41 is a dual-axis cylinder. A connecting plate 411 is fixedly connected to both ends of the dual-axis cylinder. The two connecting plates 411 are respectively located on opposite sides of the bracket 10 along the third direction X. The connecting plates 411 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 42, so that the second driving member 41 moves along the third direction X by driving the connecting plates 411 to move the mounting plate 42 along the third direction X.

[0064] In some embodiments, a guide rod 412 is provided between the connecting plate 411 and the bracket 10. The guide rod 412 is used to guide the connecting member to move along the third direction X to prevent the connecting plate 411 from shaking during the movement.

[0065] In some embodiments, each set of guides 43 includes a first guide rail 431 and two second guide rails 432. Both the first guide rail 431 and the second guide rail 432 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 10. The mounting plate 42 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 431. The first guide rail 431 extends along a third direction X to guide the mounting plate 42 to move along the third direction X.

[0066] Each clamping plate 511 is slidably mounted on a second guide rail 432. The extension directions of the two second guide rails 432 form an angle α. The second guide rails 432 are used to guide the movement of the clamping plates 511, so that the movement directions of the two clamping plates 511 in each set of clamps 51 are at an angle α.

[0067] A second drive 41 simultaneously drives four clamping plates 511 to move closer to each other to clamp the material 200 and adjust its size.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shaping mechanism 100 further includes a stop assembly 60. The stop assembly 60 includes a power member 61 and a lifting member 62 connected to each other. The power member 61 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 10 and is used to drive the lifting member 62 to move along a first direction Z. The lifting member 62 includes a stop surface 621, which faces the bearing surface 21 and is parallel to the bearing surface 21. The stop surface 621 can move close to the bearing surface 21 when the lifting member 62 moves along the first direction Z to press the material 200 against the bearing surface 21.

[0069] When the power unit 61 drives the lifting unit 62 to move the stop surface 621 away from the bearing surface 21, the stop surface 621 moves away from the material 200, allowing the material 200 to be loaded onto the loading unit. When the adsorption unit 30 adsorbs the material 200 onto the bearing surface 21, the power unit 61 drives the lifting unit 62 to move the stop surface 621 closer to the bearing surface 21 until the stop surface 621 contacts the material 200. The stop surface 621 can press the material 200 against the bearing surface 21 to further prevent the material 200 from falling.

[0070] In some embodiments, the power component 61 is a linear drive module. The power component 61 includes a piston cylinder or a slide cylinder; this application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0071] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
