Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of conveying equipment technology, and specifically relates to a feeding device and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, the level of automation in various industries is constantly increasing. When cutting thin and fragile products, product damage is prone to occur. For example, glass is placed vertically in a pressure frame and separated by beads. A CCD vision device is used to position the pressure frame, and a six-axis robot is used to transfer the glass. However, because the beads on both sides of the width direction inside the pressure frame are not parallel, the glass will tilt and get stuck, making it difficult for the six-axis robot to remove the glass from the pressure frame and causing damage.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0060] The embodiments of this application provide a feeding device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device includes a mounting base 1, a tilting mechanism 2, and a material picking mechanism 3, and has a material picking state;

[0061] A flipping mechanism mounting area is formed on the mounting base 1;

[0062] The flipping mechanism 2 is vertically movable and installed in the flipping mechanism installation area and forms a pressure frame placement area. The flipping mechanism 2 has a horizontal state and a vertical state. The pressure frame 11 of the conveying equipment is installed in the pressure frame placement area and accommodates multiple pieces of material to be unloaded 12 that are spaced apart. In the horizontal state, the pieces of material to be unloaded 12 are distributed in the vertical direction. In the vertical state, the pieces of material to be unloaded 12 are distributed in the horizontal direction.

[0063] The material handling mechanism 3 is horizontally movable and positioned on one side of the mounting base 1, and is in a first adsorption state.

[0064] In the material handling state, the flipping mechanism 2 switches from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the material handling mechanism 3 is in the first adsorption state and moves in the horizontal direction to take out the material to be unloaded 12 from the pressure frame 11.

[0065] Specifically, the feeding device in this embodiment is suitable for conveying equipment. The part to be fed 12 is a sheet-like brittle part, such as glass. Multiple pieces of glass are distributed in parallel and spaced apart in the pressure frame 11. The pressure frame 11 includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod, which are distributed in parallel and spaced apart. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are located on both sides of the width direction of the first side plate and the second side plate, respectively, and their axial ends are connected to the first side plate and the second side plate, respectively. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are each provided with multiple movable isolation beads (such as abacus beads). When the glass is installed on the pressure frame 11, adjacent pieces of glass are separated by isolation beads. The mounting base 1 is arranged vertically. When it is necessary to unload the glass, the pressure frame 11 loaded with multiple pieces (such as 26 pieces) of glass is first installed on the flipping mechanism 2. Before installing the pressure frame 11, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flipping mechanism 2 is located at the top of the mounting base 1 and is in a horizontal position so that the pressure frame 11 can be installed in the pressure frame placement area, at which time the glass is distributed vertically; after the pressure frame 11 is installed, as shown... Figure 3As shown, the flipping mechanism 2 switches from a horizontal to a vertical state, at which point the glass is distributed horizontally. Then, the flipping mechanism 2, carrying the pressure frame 11, moves vertically downwards within the flipping mechanism mounting area. Once the flipping mechanism 2 has moved into position, as shown... Figures 4-5 As shown, the material-grabbing mechanism 3 moves horizontally towards the pressure frame 11 and horizontally removes the glass from the pressure frame 11 in the first adsorption state. Furthermore, since the glass is horizontally distributed, its own weight presses down on the isolation beads, causing the two ends of the glass in the width direction to tend to be parallel, reducing the degree of glass tilt. Simultaneously, since the material-grabbing mechanism 3 (i.e., the first suction cup of the material-grabbing mechanism 3) itself has a certain height, this combination can compensate for the influence of glass tilt, allowing the material-grabbing mechanism 3 to stably adsorb the glass and remove it horizontally.

[0066] The feeding device in this embodiment has a simple structure. The flipping mechanism 2 can switch between horizontal and vertical states, and the picking mechanism 3 can take the glass out of the pressure frame 11 in the horizontal direction. It can realize stable, fast and flexible feeding of glass, and can effectively avoid damage to the glass during the feeding process.

[0067] In one embodiment of this application, the flipping mechanism 2 includes a flipping mounting support 201, a flipping frame assembly 202, and a drive assembly 203;

[0068] The flip-mount support 201 is vertically movable and installed in the flip mechanism mounting area;

[0069] The flip-up frame assembly 202 is flipped up onto the flip-up mounting support 201 and forms a pressure frame placement area;

[0070] The drive assembly 203 is mounted on the flip mounting support 201 and is driven to connect with the flip frame assembly 202.

[0071] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 2 also includes a fourth guide rail and a first slider. The fourth guide rail is vertically arranged in the flipping mechanism mounting area, and the first slider is movably arranged on the fourth guide rail. The flipping mounting support 201 is connected to the first slider through a connecting seat 211. A third mounting space 210 is formed on the flipping mounting support 201, located below the flipping frame assembly 202. The drive assembly 203 includes a flipping drive motor 212 and a reducer 213, both arranged horizontally in the third mounting space 210. The input end of the reducer 213 is connected to the output end of the flipping drive motor 212, and the output end of the reducer 213 is driven to connect to the flipping frame assembly 202. When the first slider moves vertically, it drives the flipping mounting support 201, the drive assembly 203, and the flipping frame assembly 202 to move vertically together. Under the combined action of the flipping drive motor 212 and the reducer 213, the flipping frame assembly 202 is flipped, thereby switching the flipping frame assembly 202 between a horizontal and a vertical state.

[0072] In one embodiment of this application, the flip mounting support 201 forms a first mounting space 204, and the flip frame assembly 202 is mounted in the first mounting space 204 via a connecting shaft, which is connected to the drive output end of the drive assembly 203.

[0073] Specifically, the flip-mount support 201 forms a first mounting space 204 between the vertical sidewalls on opposite sides in the width direction. Part of the flip frame assembly 202 is located in the first mounting space 204. Connection holes are formed on the vertical sidewalls. In this embodiment, there are two connecting shafts, including a first connecting shaft 205 and a second connecting shaft. The flip mechanism 2 also includes a driving wheel 206, a driven wheel 207, and a transmission belt 208. The first end of the first connecting shaft 205 is rotatably mounted on the vertical sidewall of one side of the flip-mount support 201. In the connecting hole, the second end of the first connecting shaft 205 is connected to the tilting frame assembly 202. The first end of the second connecting shaft is rotatably disposed in the connecting hole on the vertical sidewall of the tilting mounting support 201 on the other side. The second end of the second connecting shaft is connected to the tilting frame assembly 202. The driving wheel 206 is vertically distributed and connected to the output end of the reducer 213. The driven wheel 207 is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 205 or the second connecting shaft and vertically spaced from the driving wheel 206. The transmission belt 208 is sleeved on the outside of the driving wheel 206 and the driven wheel 207 and is vertically distributed. Under the combined action of the tilting drive motor 212 and the reducer 213, the driving wheel 206, the transmission belt 208, the driven wheel 207, the first connecting shaft 205 (or the second connecting shaft), and the tilting frame assembly 202 are sequentially driven to rotate, thereby realizing the tilting function of the tilting frame assembly 202.

[0074] Furthermore, the feeding device in this embodiment also includes a processor (or PLC controller) and a first limit sensor 14. The first limit sensor 14 and the flip drive motor 212 in the drive assembly 203 are both communicatively connected to the processor. The first sensing part of the first limit sensor 14 is disposed on the flip mounting support 201, and the first baffle part of the first limit sensor 14 is disposed on the shaft end face of the first connecting shaft 205 (or the second connecting shaft). When the flip frame assembly 202 is not in a vertical state, the first sensing part cannot sense the first baffle part; when the flip frame assembly 202 and the first connecting shaft 205 (or the second connecting shaft) rotate by a preset angle to flip the flip frame assembly 202 from a horizontal state to a vertical state, the first sensing part can sense the first baffle part. Then, the first sensing part sends a corresponding signal to the processor. After receiving the above signal, the processor controls the flip drive motor 212 to stop rotating to avoid the flip frame assembly 202 driving the pressure frame 11 to rotate too much and causing the glass to slide out of the pressure frame 11.

[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the flipping mechanism 2 further includes a telescopic locking member 209;

[0076] A locking hole is formed on the tilting frame assembly 202;

[0077] The telescopic locking member 209 is telescopically mounted on the flip-mount support 201 and has a retracted state and an extended state. In the extended state, part of the telescopic locking member 209 extends into the locking hole.

[0078] Specifically, a locking block is formed on the side end face of the tilting frame assembly 202 near the tilting mounting support 201. A locking hole is formed on the locking block for a portion of the telescopic locking member 209 to extend into. In this embodiment, the telescopic locking member 209 can be a pin cylinder. When the tilting frame assembly 202 is in a horizontal state, the telescopic locking member 209 is in a retracted state, at which time the telescopic locking member 209 is separated from the locking block. When the tilting frame assembly 202 is in a vertical state, the telescopic locking member 209 is in an extended state, and a portion of the telescopic locking member 209 extends into the locking hole. The locking block and the telescopic locking member 209 prevent swaying when the tilting frame assembly 202 is in a vertical state, ensuring the stability of the tilting frame assembly 202, the pressure frame 11, and the glass when the tilting frame assembly 202 is in a vertical state, and facilitating the smooth removal of the glass from the pressure frame 11 by the material handling mechanism 3.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, the flipping frame assembly 202 includes a flipping frame 2021 and a clamping member 2022;

[0080] The tilting frame 2021 is tilted and mounted on the tilting mounting support 201, forming a pressure frame placement area;

[0081] The clamping element 2022 is telescopically mounted on the tilting frame 2021.

[0082] Specifically, the tilting frame 2021 includes a third side plate 2023, a fourth side plate 2024, and a connecting plate 2025. The third side plate 2023 and the fourth side plate 2024 are arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the connecting plate 2025 are respectively connected to the third side plate 2023 and the fourth side plate 2024. The third side plate 2023, the fourth side plate 2024, and the connecting plate 2025 together form a pressure frame placement area. The third side plate 2023 is connected to the vertical side wall of one side of the tilting mounting support 201 through the first connecting shaft 205. The fourth side plate 2024 is connected to the vertical side wall of the other side of the tilting mounting support 201 through the second connecting shaft. The flipping frame assembly 202 also includes a first positioning member 2026 and a second positioning member 2027. The first positioning member 2026 is disposed on the side of the third side plate 2023 near the fourth side plate 2024, and the second positioning member 2027 is disposed on the side of the fourth side plate 2024 near the third side plate 2023. The tops of both the first positioning member 2026 and the second positioning member 2027 are formed with positioning slots for positioning the pressure frame 11 in a first direction. The connecting plate 2025 is provided with a stop member 2028 (such as a stop screw) that partially extends into the pressure frame placement area. The stop member 2028 can limit the movement distance of the pressure frame 11 in the pressure frame placement area.

[0083] There are two clamping members 2022. These two clamping members 2022 are respectively located on the side of the third side plate 2023 and the fourth side plate 2024 away from the pressure frame placement area, and at the end of the third side plate 2023 and the fourth side plate 2024 away from the connecting plate 2025. Further, each clamping member 2022 includes a telescopic portion and a pushing block portion located at the telescopic end of the telescopic portion. The telescopic portion of one clamping member 2022 is located on the third side plate 2023, and the telescopic portion of the other clamping member 2022 is located on the fourth side plate 2024. Before installing the pressure frame 11, the telescopic part is in an extended state, pushing the block away from the side plate on the flip frame 2021; after the pressure frame 11 is installed in the pressure frame placement area, the telescopic part retracts, causing the pushing block to push the pressure frame 11 toward the direction of the connecting plate 2025 until the pressure frame 11 and the stop member 2028 abut together. The setting of the clamping member 2022 in this embodiment ensures the installation stability of the pressure frame 11 in the flip frame 2021.

[0084] In one embodiment of this application, the material handling mechanism 3 includes a first guide rail 301 and a first suction cup assembly 303;

[0085] The first guide rail 301 is disposed on one side of the mounting base 1;

[0086] The first suction cup assembly 303 is movably mounted on the first guide rail 301.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first guide rail 301 is distributed horizontally, and the first suction cup assembly 303 includes a plurality of first suction cups with suction ports facing upward. When the first suction cup assembly 303 moves, its position on the horizontal plane can be changed. When the first suction cup assembly 303 performs a first moving operation to move to below the bottom layer of glass in the pressure frame 11, the suction function can be activated to suction the bottom layer of glass in the pressure frame 11. Then, the first suction cup assembly 303 performs a second moving operation to horizontally remove the bottom layer of glass from the pressure frame 11 to complete the glass unloading.

[0088] In one embodiment of this application, the material handling mechanism 3 further includes a first translation component 302;

[0089] The first translation component 302 is laterally movably disposed on the first guide rail 301 and distributed along the longitudinal direction;

[0090] The first suction cup assembly 303 is longitudinally movably mounted on the first translation assembly 302.

[0091] Specifically, the first translation component 302 includes a second slider and a fifth guide rail. The second slider is movably disposed on the first guide rail 301. The fifth guide rail is connected to the second slider and is distributed longitudinally. The first suction cup component 303 is longitudinally movably disposed on the fifth guide rail. When the second slider moves on the first guide rail 301, it can drive the first suction cup component 303 to move laterally on the horizontal plane, thereby changing the lateral position of the first suction cup component 303 on the horizontal plane. When the first suction cup component 303 moves on the fifth guide rail, it can change its longitudinal position on the horizontal plane. Through the above structural arrangement, the first suction cup component 303 can realize the first movement operation and the second movement operation, thereby realizing the glass unloading.

[0092] In one embodiment of this application, the material handling mechanism 3 further includes a mounting plate assembly 304, a second guide rail 305, and an elastic element;

[0093] The mounting plate assembly 304 is longitudinally movably disposed on the first translation assembly 302;

[0094] The second guide rail 305 is disposed on the mounting plate assembly 304 and distributed longitudinally, and the first suction cup assembly 303 is longitudinally movably disposed on the second guide rail 305.

[0095] One end of the elastic element is connected to the mounting plate assembly 304, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the first suction cup assembly 303.

[0096] Specifically, the mounting plate assembly 304 includes a third slider and a third slider connecting plate. The third slider is movably mounted on the fifth guide rail. The third slider connecting plate is positioned above the third slider and connected to it. The second guide rail 305 is longitudinally mounted on the third slider connecting plate. The first suction cup assembly 303 includes a fourth slider and a first suction cup module (the first suction cup module has multiple upward-facing first suction cups, which can be accordion suction cups). The fourth slider is longitudinally movably mounted on the second guide rail 305. The first suction cup module is positioned above the fourth slider and connected to it. In this embodiment, the elastic element can be a tension spring. One end of the tension spring is connected to the first suction cup module, and the other end is connected to the third slider connecting plate. When manual adjustment of the positioning point or automatic operation of the feeding device fails, if the first suction cup module accidentally hits the glass during its insertion into the pressure frame 11, the tension spring can provide cushioning to prevent the glass from being damaged by a large impact.

[0097] Furthermore, the material handling mechanism 3 in this embodiment also includes a second limit sensor 306 and an alarm connected in communication with the processor. The second sensing part of the second limit sensor 306 is disposed on the third slider connecting plate, and the second baffle part of the second limit sensor 306 is disposed on the first suction cup module. If the first suction cup module moves to a preset position under the action of the tension spring during the buffering function, the second sensing part can sense the first suction cup module and send a corresponding signal to the processor. After receiving the above signal, the processor controls the alarm to issue an alarm signal (such as lighting a red light or emitting a warning sound) and controls the unloading device to stop working so as to promptly remind the staff to handle the above situation. The above settings, together with the tension spring, can further enhance the protection of the glass. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the specific installation positions of the two ends of the tension spring on the first suction cup module and the third slider connecting plate can be changed, thereby changing the elastic force of the tension spring, and / or the specific installation position of the second sensing part on the third slider connecting plate can be changed, thereby changing the sensing distance of the second sensing part. The above settings can make the tension spring and the second limit sensor 306 applicable to glass of different sizes (such as length, width, thickness, etc.), which is beneficial to expanding the applicability of the feeding device.

[0098] Another embodiment of this application provides a conveying device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the conveying equipment includes a mounting platform 4, a feeding mechanism 5, a first transfer mechanism 13, a second transfer mechanism 6, a discharging mechanism 7, and the discharging device in the above embodiment;

[0099] The interior of the mounting platform 4 forms a second mounting space 401;

[0100] The feeding mechanism 5 is movably mounted on the mounting platform 4;

[0101] The first transfer mechanism 13 is vertically movable on the mounting platform 4 and extends downward into the second mounting space 401. The unloading device is located on the side of the first transfer mechanism 13 away from the loading mechanism 5.

[0102] The feeding mechanism 7 is located in the second installation space 401;

[0103] The second transfer mechanism 6 is located on the mounting platform 4.

[0104] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two feeding mechanisms 5, two unloading mechanisms 7, two first transfer mechanisms 13, two mounting bases 1, and two flipping mechanisms 2. The two feeding mechanisms 5 are distributed laterally on the top surface of the mounting platform 4. The two unloading mechanisms 7 are both located in the second mounting space 401 and are located directly below the two feeding mechanisms 5. The installation position of the first transfer mechanism 13 corresponds laterally to the installation positions of the feeding mechanism 5, the unloading mechanism 7, and the mounting base 1. The two flipping mechanisms 2 are respectively installed on the two mounting bases 1. The above arrangement allows the conveying equipment to buffer a larger number of pressure frames 11, which is beneficial to improving the working efficiency of the conveying equipment and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0105] like Figure 7As shown, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a first drive motor 501 and two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502 that are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. A first transmission shaft 503 is provided between the first active synchronous belt pulleys of the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502. The first drive motor 501 and the first active synchronous belt pulley of one of the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502 are driven and connected. Through the above arrangement, the first synchronous belts of the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502 rotate simultaneously to stably convey the pressure frame 11 loaded with multiple pieces of glass. Furthermore, a water receiving trough 504 is formed on the top surface of the mounting platform 4 (the first drive motor 501 is located below the water receiving trough 504 and drives the first active synchronous pulley through the feeding transmission belt 208 assembly; the above arrangement can prevent the first drive motor 501 from being damaged after getting wet). Two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502 are located above the water receiving trough 504 through protruding support members 506 for the water receiving trough 504. The bottom surface of the water receiving trough 504 is inclined (i.e., the bottom surface of the water receiving trough 504 is at different heights on both sides in the horizontal direction). A water outlet is also formed on the bottom surface of the water receiving trough 504 on the side with the lower height. The feeding mechanism 5 also includes a water receiving hole formed on the mounting platform 4. The air knife 505 above platform 4 blows air downwards to remove residual water from the glass into the water collection tank 504 when the pressure frame 11, which is loaded with multiple pieces of glass (the glass is distributed vertically at this time), is transported on the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502. This increases the friction between the glass and the isolation beads, making it less likely for the glass to slip out of the pressure frame 11. It also protects the first vacuum generator on the first suction cup module from damage due to the intake of a large number of water droplets, and ensures that no marks are generated on the glass. After the water droplets fall into the water collection tank 504, they flow down the inclined bottom surface of the water collection tank 504 to the lower horizontal side and flow out from the water outlet.

[0106] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 5 also includes a first blocking component 507, a second blocking component 508, and a first lifting component 509, which are vertically mounted on the mounting platform 4 and located between the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502. The first lifting component 509 is positioned between the first blocking component 507 and the second blocking component 508. This arrangement allows the feeding mechanism 5 to simultaneously transport three frames of pressure frames 11 loaded with glass, such as the first pressure frame, the second pressure frame, and the third pressure frame. Specifically, when the first pressure frame and the second pressure frame are transported successively and the second pressure frame... When the glass is transferred to the top of the first lifting assembly 509, the processor controls the first blocking assembly 507, the second blocking assembly 508, and the first lifting assembly 509 to rise. The second pressure frame is lifted by the first lifting assembly 509 and disengaged from the first synchronous belt assembly 502, preventing slippage between the second pressure frame and the first synchronous belt and protecting the first synchronous belt. After the first blocking assembly 507 and the second blocking assembly 508 rise, interference between the second pressure frame and the first pressure frame can be avoided, as well as interference between the third pressure frame to be transferred subsequently and the second pressure frame. The arrangement of the first blocking assembly 507, the second blocking assembly 508, and the first lifting assembly 509 not only allows the feeding mechanism 5 to simultaneously transfer three frames of pressure frames 11 loaded with glass, but also shortens the length of the first synchronous belt of the two sets of first synchronous belt assemblies 502, thereby reducing the overall size of the mounting platform 4 and improving the compactness of the component arrangement on the mounting platform 4.

[0107] like Figure 8As shown, the first transfer mechanism 13 includes a mounting column 1301, a fourth translation component 1302, a transfer mounting plate 1303, a second drive motor, and two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304. The mounting column 1301 is arranged vertically. The fourth translation component 1302 includes a sixth guide rail disposed on the mounting column 1301 and a fifth slider movably disposed on the sixth guide rail. The transfer mounting plate 1303 is arranged horizontally and connected to the fifth slider. The two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 are arranged laterally on the transfer mounting plate 1303 at intervals. The second drive motor is driven by a second active synchronous belt pulley of one of the two sets of second synchronous belt assemblies 1304. Furthermore, the width between the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 is greater than the maximum width of the two first synchronous belt assemblies 502. This arrangement allows the two first synchronous belt assemblies 502 to partially extend between the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 when the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 and the two first synchronous belt assemblies 502 are at the same height. When the pressure frame 11 is transferred from the two first synchronous belt assemblies 502 to the transmission end thereon, this arrangement ensures that the pressure frame 11 on the two first synchronous belt assemblies 502 can be stably transferred to the second synchronous belt assembly 1304 without jamming or swaying. It also avoids interference between the first synchronous belt assembly 502 and the second synchronous belt assembly 1304. In addition, it has the advantages of ensuring the universality and standardization of the synchronous belt assemblies, saving costs, and improving the structural compactness of the first transfer mechanism 13.

[0108] The first transfer mechanism 13 also includes a second lifting component 1305, a first positioning component 1306, and a second positioning component 1307. The second lifting component 1305 is vertically and vertically mounted on the transfer mounting plate 1303 and located between the two second synchronous belt components 1304. The first positioning component 1306 is vertically movable on the transfer mounting plate 1303. The second positioning component 1307 is horizontally movable at the top of the mounting column 1301. When the pressure frame 11 is transferred to the two second synchronous belt components 1304 and before the fourth translation component 1302 moves vertically, the second lifting component 1305 lifts upward and cooperates with the first positioning component 1306 and the second positioning component 1307 to move the pressure frame 11 to a preset position, preventing the pressure frame 11 from falling off the first transfer mechanism 13 and ensuring the stability of the pressure frame 11 during vertical movement.

[0109] like Figures 10-11As shown, the second transfer mechanism 6 includes a support base assembly 601, a third guide rail 602, a second translation component 603, a third translation component 604, and a gripping component 605. The support base assembly 601 is mounted on the mounting platform 4 and located on the lateral outer side of the feeding mechanism 5. The third guide rail 602 is mounted on the support base assembly 601 and distributed longitudinally. The second translation component 603 is longitudinally movably mounted on the third guide rail 602. The third translation component 604 is laterally movably mounted on the second translation component 603. The gripping component 605 is vertically movably mounted on the third translation component 604. Specifically, there are two support base assemblies 601 and two third guide rails 602. The two support base assemblies 601 are respectively arranged on the horizontal sides of the mounting platform 4 and distributed along the longitudinal direction. The two third guide rails 602 are respectively arranged above the two support base assemblies 601. The second translation assembly 603 includes two sixth sliders and one seventh guide rail. The two sixth sliders are respectively movably arranged on the two third guide rails 602. The two ends of the seventh guide rail are respectively connected to the two sixth sliders. The third translation assembly 604 includes a seventh slider and an eighth guide rail. The seventh slider is movably arranged on the seventh guide rail. The eighth guide rail is arranged vertically and connected to the seventh slider. The gripping assembly 605 is movably arranged on the seventh guide rail via the eighth slider. Through the above arrangement, the gripping assembly 605 can move horizontally, vertically and vertically. Then, after the gripping assembly 605 grips the pressure frame 11, the fully loaded pressure frame 11 is transferred from the first transfer mechanism 13 to the flipping mechanism 2, or the unloaded pressure frame 11 is transferred from the flipping mechanism 2 to the first transfer mechanism 13.

[0110] Furthermore, the gripping assembly 605 includes a gripping mounting plate 6051, slide rails 6052, grippers 6053, connectors 6054, and gripping drive cylinders 6055. The gripping mounting plate 6051 is connected to the eighth slider and is arranged horizontally. The four slide rails 6052 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the gripping mounting plate 6051 and are distributed horizontally. The four grippers 6053 are movably arranged on the four slide rails 6052 and are used to hook the pressure frame 11 together. There are two connectors 6054, which are respectively connected to two grippers 6053 located on the same horizontal side. There are two gripping drive cylinders 6055, which are respectively connected to two connectors 6054. The above arrangement allows the four grippers 6053 to work together to grip or release the pressure frame 11, so as to realize the transfer of the pressure frame 11 between the flipping mechanism 2 and the first transfer mechanism 13. Furthermore, the gripping hook 6056 of the gripper head 6053 is also provided with a rubber coating layer, so as to increase the friction between the gripping hook 6056 and the pressure frame 11 when the gripping hook 6056 hooks the pressure frame 11, thereby improving the stability of gripping the pressure frame 11.

[0111] Furthermore, the gripping assembly 605 also includes a first sensor 6057 and a limiting buffer 6058 disposed on the gripping mounting plate 6051. The first sensor 6057 and the gripping drive cylinder 6055 are both communicatively connected to the processor. After the first sensor 6057 senses the pressure frame 11, it can send a signal to the processor. After receiving the signal, the processor controls the gripping drive cylinder 6055 to move to grip the pressure frame 11. The setting of the limiting buffer 6058 can limit the movement distance of the connecting member 6054 and the gripper head 6053, and can also provide buffer protection for the connecting member 6054. The stroke of the gripping drive cylinder 6055 is adjustable, which allows the gripping assembly 605 to grip pressure frames 11 of multiple sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the second transfer mechanism 6.

[0112] like Figure 9 As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a third drive motor and two sets of third synchronous belt assemblies 701 that are laterally spaced in the second installation space 401. The third drive motor and the third active synchronous belt pulley of one of the two sets of third synchronous belt assemblies 701 are driven and connected. The above arrangement enables the third synchronous belts of the two sets of third synchronous belt assemblies 701 to rotate simultaneously to stably convey the unloaded pressure frame 11. Furthermore, the width between the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 is greater than the maximum width of the two third synchronous belt assemblies 701. The first transfer mechanism 13, with the unloaded pressure frame 11, descends into the second mounting empty part. When the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304 are at the same height, the two third synchronous belt assemblies 701 can partially extend between the two second synchronous belt assemblies 1304. This allows the pressure frame 11 on the second synchronous belt assembly 1304 to be stably transferred to the two third synchronous belt assemblies 701 without jamming or swaying. This avoids interference between the third synchronous belt assembly 701 and the second synchronous belt assembly 1304. It also has the advantages of ensuring the universality and standardization of the synchronous belt assemblies, saving costs, and improving the structural compactness of the unloading mechanism 7.

[0113] The unloading mechanism 7 also includes a third blocking component 702, a fourth blocking component 703, a third lifting component 704, and an unloading auxiliary plate 705 that is rotatably disposed at the outlet position of the second installation space 401. The third blocking component 702 and the fourth blocking component 703 are longitudinally spaced and located between the two third synchronous belt components 701. The third blocking component 702 is located on the side of the fourth blocking component 703 closest to the unloading auxiliary plate 705. The third lifting component 704 is disposed on the outside of the two third synchronous belt components 701. The above arrangement enables the unloading mechanism 7 to simultaneously transport three frames of pressure frames 11 loaded with glass, such as the fourth pressure frame, the fifth pressure frame, and the sixth pressure frame. Specifically, when the fourth pressure frame and the fifth pressure frame are transported successively and the fourth pressure frame is transported to the third lifting component 704, the unloading mechanism 704 can simultaneously transport the glass-loaded pressure frames 11. When the fourth pressure frame is above the lifting component 704, the processor controls the third lifting component 704 to rise. The fourth pressure frame is lifted by the third lifting component 704 and detached from the third synchronous belt component 701. The worker can drag the lifted fourth pressure frame onto the unloading auxiliary plate 705 before unloading, which helps to further reduce the labor intensity of the workers and avoid slippage between the fourth pressure frame and the third synchronous belt, thus protecting the third synchronous belt. When the fourth pressure frame is lifted and the fifth pressure frame is transferred between the third blocking component 702 and the unloading auxiliary plate 705, the processor controls the third blocking component 702 and the fourth blocking component 703 to rise. After the third blocking component 702 and the fourth blocking component 703 rise, interference between the fifth pressure frame and the subsequently transferred sixth pressure frame can be avoided. The arrangement of the third blocking component 702, the fourth blocking component 703, and the third lifting component 704 not only enables the unloading mechanism 7 to simultaneously transport the three unloaded pressure frames 11, but also shortens the length of the third synchronous belt of the two sets of third synchronous belt components 701, thereby further reducing the overall size of the mounting platform 4.

[0114] In one embodiment of this application, the conveying device further includes a mounting frame 8, a third transfer mechanism 9, and a conveying mechanism 10;

[0115] The mounting bracket 8 is set on the mounting platform 4 and is located on the side of the flipping mechanism 2 away from the feeding mechanism 5;

[0116] The third transfer mechanism 9 is mounted on the mounting frame 8.

[0117] The conveying mechanism 10 is movably mounted on the mounting platform 4 and located below the third transfer mechanism 9.

[0118] Specifically, such as Figure 12As shown, a fourth mounting space 801 is formed on the mounting frame 8 and the mounting platform 4. In this embodiment, the third transfer mechanism 9 includes a multi-axis robotic arm 901 (e.g., a 3-axis robotic arm) and a second suction cup assembly 902. The multi-axis robotic arm 901 is movably disposed in the fourth mounting space 801 and connected to the top of the mounting frame 8. The second suction cup assembly 902 is disposed at the moving end of the multi-axis robotic arm 901 and has a second suction state. Further, as... Figure 13 As shown, the second suction cup assembly 902 includes a first mounting member 903, a second mounting member 904, a third mounting member 905, a ninth guide rail 906, a tenth guide rail 907, a second suction cup module 910, and a third suction cup module 911. The first mounting member 903 is disposed at the end of the multi-axis robotic arm 901. The second mounting member 904 and the third mounting member 905 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first mounting member 903. The ninth guide rail 906 is disposed on the second mounting member 904, and the tenth guide rail 907 is disposed on the third mounting member 905 and is connected to the ninth guide rail 906. 6. Two second suction cup modules 910 are movably mounted on the ninth guide rail 906 and the tenth guide rail 907, respectively. Each second suction cup module 910 includes two second suction cups (optionally accordion suction cups) movably mounted on the ninth guide rail 906. A third suction cup module 911 includes two third suction cups (optionally accordion suction cups) movably mounted on the tenth guide rail 907. The movement direction of the second suction cups is perpendicular to the setting direction of the ninth guide rail 906, and the movement direction of the third suction cups is perpendicular to the setting direction of the tenth guide rail 907. Furthermore, the distance between the second suction cup and the ninth guide rail 906 is adjusted by the first adjusting handle 912, and the distance between the third suction cup and the tenth guide rail 907 is adjusted by the second adjusting handle 913. This configuration allows for adjustment of the relative distance between the four suction cups on the second suction cup assembly 902, enabling the second suction cup assembly 902 to adsorb multiple pieces of glass of different sizes, thus expanding the applicability of the third transfer mechanism 9 and the conveying equipment.

[0119] In the embodiments of this application, the first mounting component 903, the second mounting component 904, the third mounting component 905, the ninth guide rail 906, the tenth guide rail 907, and the two adjustment handles can be made of lightweight aluminum profiles, which helps to reduce the weight of the second suction cup assembly 902, reduce the load on the multi-axis robotic arm 901, and improve the overall operating speed of the third transfer mechanism 9.

[0120] Furthermore, the third transfer mechanism 9 also includes a second vacuum generator 914, a filter 915, and a second sensor 916 disposed on the first mounting member 903 and communicatively connected to the processor. The second vacuum generator 914 is used to generate a vacuum in the four suction cups on the second suction cup assembly 902 to adsorb glass. The filter 915 is used to filter the gas entering the second vacuum generator 914 and protect the second vacuum generator 914 from impurities. After sensing the glass, the second sensor 916 sends a signal to the processor. The processor controls the second vacuum generator 914 and the filter 915 to perform their respective functions in order to adsorb the glass.

[0121] like Figure 14As shown, the conveying mechanism 10 includes two adjacent conveying modules. Each conveying module includes a mounting plate 1001, a first mounting side plate 1002, a second mounting side plate 1003, and multiple rolling shafts 1004. The mounting plate 1001, the first mounting side plate 1002, and the second mounting side plate 1003 together form a fifth mounting space 1005. The mounting plate 1001 is horizontally positioned on the mounting platform 4, while the first mounting side plate 1002 and the second mounting side plate 1003 are positioned vertically and located at... On the lateral sides of the first mounting plate 1001, multiple rolling shafts 1004 are rotatably inserted into the first mounting side plate 1002 and the second mounting side plate 1003 and are distributed longitudinally at intervals. Each rolling shaft 1004 is provided with multiple rolling wheels 1006 distributed laterally at intervals. Above the multiple rolling wheels 1006, a conveying area is formed for placing the material to be unloaded 12 (such as glass). The third transfer mechanism 9 transfers the glass taken out by the material picking mechanism 3 to the conveying area, and then the conveying mechanism 10 conveys the glass. The conveying module also includes a conveying drive motor 1007, a conveying drive wheel, a conveying belt 1008, a conveying driven wheel 1009, a conveying shaft 1010, and multiple sets of conveying transmission wheel assemblies. The conveying drive motor 1007 is disposed in the fifth mounting space 1005. The conveying shaft 1010 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting side plate 1003 and located on the side of the second mounting side plate 1003 away from the fifth mounting space 1005. The conveying drive wheel is disposed at the output end of the conveying drive motor 1007. The conveying driven wheel 1009 is disposed on the conveying shaft 1010. The conveying belt 1008 is sleeved on the outside of the conveying drive wheel and the conveying driven wheel 1009. The first helical gears 1011 of the multiple conveying transmission wheel assemblies are spaced apart on the conveying shaft 1010. Some rolling shafts 1004 extend from the fifth mounting space 1005 to the top of the conveying shaft 1010. The second helical gears 1012 of the multiple conveying transmission wheel assemblies are respectively disposed on the multiple rolling shafts 1004. When the conveyor drive motor 1007 rotates, it sequentially drives the conveyor drive wheel, the conveyor belt 1008, the conveyor driven wheel 1009, the conveyor shaft 1010, the conveyor transmission wheel assembly, the rolling shaft 1004, and the rolling wheel 1006 to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of glass in the conveying area. Furthermore, the conveying area is connected to the cleaning machine, and the glass conveyed from the conveying area can be conveyed to the cleaning machine for cleaning.

[0122] The conveying module also includes a third sensor 1013 and a fifth blocking component 1014, both disposed in the fifth mounting space 1005. The third sensor 1013 is used to sense the glass and communicate with the processor. When the third sensor 1013 senses that there is glass in the conveying area, it sends a signal to the processor. After receiving the signal, the processor controls the conveying drive motor 1007 to rotate to carefully convey the glass. The fifth blocking component 1014 is vertically and vertically disposed in the fifth mounting space 1005 and located on the side of the fifth mounting space 1005 away from the flipping mechanism 2. After the fifth blocking component 1014 rises, it can block the glass in the conveying area to prevent the glass from being conveyed into the washing machine too quickly.

[0123] Each blocking component in this embodiment includes a blocking cylinder and a blocking element disposed on the blocking cylinder, and each lifting component includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting element disposed on the lifting cylinder.
