Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of code binding technology, and more specifically, to a binding and handling module and processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The main purpose of scanning and binding codes during the production process is to improve production management efficiency, ensure product quality, and optimize inventory management.

[0003] In existing technologies, barcode scanning and binding usually involves a person holding a barcode scanner close to the material to scan and bind the barcode, or a person holding the material close to the barcode scanner to scan and bind the barcode. This type of barcode scanning and binding method can easily cause operator fatigue and lead to errors such as missing binding, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide a binding and handling module and processing equipment to solve the problem of low efficiency in scanning and binding codes in the prior art.

[0005] On the one hand, this application provides a binding and transporting module, the binding and transporting module comprising:

[0006] A first conveying unit is used to convey materials along a first direction and has a stacking position at the end of the first direction.

[0007] The first scanning unit is located above the stacking position and is used to bind the material group after it is stacked at the stacking position.

[0008] A transport unit is disposed on one side of the first conveying unit and close to the palletizing position. The transport unit includes a moving component and a picking and placing component. The moving component is used to drive the picking and placing component to move between the palletizing position and a predetermined position. The picking and placing component is used to pick up the palletized material group at the palletizing position and to place the picked-up material group at the predetermined position.

[0009] The picking and placing component has a clearance hole. During the process of the conveying unit transferring the material group from the palletizing position to the predetermined position, the first barcode corresponding to each material in the material group, which includes at least two materials, is displayed to the first scanning unit through the clearance hole and is scanned in batches by the first scanning unit for binding.

[0010] Furthermore, the pick-and-place assembly includes a pick-and-place driving member, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member. The pick-and-place driving member is connected to the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively, and is used to drive the first clamping member and / or the second clamping member to move so that the first clamping member and the second clamping member move closer to each other or further away from each other.

[0011] The first or second clamping member, located away from the pick-and-place drive member, forms the clearance hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the pick-and-place drive simultaneously drives the first clamping member and the second clamping member to move closer to each other to pick up the material group located at the palletizing position, and simultaneously drives the first clamping member and the second clamping member to move further apart to place the picked-up material group at the predetermined position.

[0013] The first clamping member includes a first clamping portion and a first connecting portion, the first connecting portion being connected between the first clamping portion and the pick-and-place driving member; the second clamping member includes a second clamping portion and a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion being connected between the second clamping portion and the pick-and-place driving member.

[0014] The second clamping portion is located away from the first clamping portion from the pick-and-place drive member, and the second connecting portion is configured to form the clearance hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the pick-and-place component has a binding position, which is located vertically between the palletizing position and the first scanning unit;

[0016] When the handling unit transfers the material group from the palletizing position to the binding position, the first conveying unit simultaneously palletizes the next material group.

[0017] Furthermore, the binding and handling module also includes a supplementary lighting unit, which is located above the palletizing position and is used to provide supplementary lighting for the material group located at the palletizing position.

[0018] Furthermore, the first conveying unit is also used to convey materials along the second direction, and has a barcode scanning position at the end of the second direction;

[0019] The binding and handling module further includes a second barcode scanning unit, which is located behind the scanning position along the second direction and is used to scan the second barcode of each material that moves to the scanning position.

[0020] Wherein, the second direction and the first direction are two different directions, and the scanning position and the palletizing position are located on the straight line of the first direction. After each material moves along the second direction to the palletizing position and is scanned by the second scanning unit, the material will move along the first direction to the palletizing position.

[0021] Furthermore, the first conveying unit includes a first conveying component, a pushing component, and a palletizing component. The first conveying component is configured to form the scanning position, and the pushing component and the palletizing component are located on opposite sides of the palletizing position along the first direction.

[0022] The first conveying component includes a first conveying drive, a first track, and a first conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt is disposed on the first track and, driven by the first conveying drive, moves the material it carries toward the stacking position.

[0023] The pushing component includes a pushing driver and a pushing block. The pushing block is located at the output end of the pushing driver and, driven by the pushing driver, pushes the material scanned by the second scanning unit along the first direction to the palletizing position.

[0024] The palletizing assembly includes a support plate and a side plate. The side plate surrounds the support plate on the side facing the first scanning unit and together with the support plate forms the palletizing position. The side plate has a notch on the side facing the scanning position along the first direction, and the notch is used to allow material to enter the palletizing position from the scanning position.

[0025] Furthermore, the first conveying component also includes a rolling drive, a first roller group, and a plurality of second roller groups. The first roller group is disposed along the second direction between the end of the first track and the plurality of second roller groups, and the first roller group and the plurality of second roller groups together form the scanning position. The rolling drive is used to rotate the first roller group to drive the material on the first conveyor belt to leave the first conveyor belt and move to the scanning position.

[0026] Furthermore, the pick-and-place component has a recycling position, which is located between the palletizing position and the predetermined position;

[0027] If the second barcode corresponding to at least one material in any material group does not match the preset second barcode information, the first scanning unit does not bind each material in the material group, and the moving component drives the picking and placing component to transfer the material group to the recycling location for recycling.

[0028] Furthermore, the binding and handling module also includes a second conveying unit, which is located behind the first conveying unit and is configured to form the predetermined position, and is used to synchronously convey the bound material group along the second direction;

[0029] During the process of the moving component driving the pick-and-place component to move between the stacking position and the predetermined position, the moving component also drives the pick-and-place component to rotate along a vertical rotation axis, which is located on one side of the clearance hole. When the moving component drives the pick-and-place component to move to the stacking position, the rotation axis is located on the side of the clearance hole closer to the second conveying unit. When the moving component drives the pick-and-place component to move to the predetermined position, the rotation axis is located on the side of the clearance hole farther away from the second conveying unit.

[0030] On the other hand, this application also provides a processing device, which includes the binding and transporting module described in any of the above claims.

[0031] In the binding and handling module of this application, the first conveying unit is configured to convey materials along the first direction and stack at least two materials to form a material group. The handling unit is configured to transfer the material group at the stacking position to the predetermined position. The first scanning unit is configured above the stacking position. The pick-and-place component is configured with clearance holes so that each material in the material group picked up by the pick-and-place component can display a first barcode to the first scanning unit through the clearance holes. This allows each material group to be scanned and bound together by the first scanning unit during the transfer process by the handling unit, thereby automatically completing the scanning and binding of the material group. This improves the scanning and binding efficiency and production efficiency, and reduces the rate of missed binding. In addition, by scanning and binding the material group during the transfer process by the handling unit, the stacking position can be quickly freed up so that the first conveying unit can simultaneously stack the next material group while the previous material group is transferred and scanned and bound, thereby further improving production efficiency.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0046] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this application provides a binding and handling module 100, which includes a first conveying unit 10, a first scanning unit 20, and a handling unit 30. The first conveying unit 10 is used to convey material 201 along a first direction L1, and a stacking position 133 is provided at the end of the first direction L1; the first scanning unit 20 is located above the stacking position 133 and is used to bind the material group 200 stacked at the stacking position 133; the handling unit 30 is located on one side of the first conveying unit 10 and close to the stacking position 133, and is used to transfer the stacked material group 200 from the stacking position 133 to a predetermined position 71.

[0047] The handling unit 30 includes a moving component 31 and a picking and placing component 32. The moving component 31 drives the picking and placing component 32 to move between the palletizing position 133 and the predetermined position 71. The picking and placing component 32 picks up the palletized material group 200 at the palletizing position 133 and places the picked-up material group 200 at the predetermined position 71, thereby cooperating with the moving component 31 to complete the transfer of the material group 200.

[0048] The pick-and-place component 32 has clearance holes 3233. During the process of the transport unit 30 transferring the material group 200 from the palletizing position 133 to the predetermined position 71, the first barcode 202 corresponding to each material 201 in the material group 200, which includes at least two materials 201, is displayed to the first scanning unit 20 through the clearance holes 3233 and is scanned in batches by the first scanning unit 20 for binding. This allows each material group 200 to be scanned and bound together by the first scanning unit 20 during the transfer process by the transport unit 30, thereby automatically completing the scanning and binding of the material group 200, thereby improving the scanning and binding efficiency and production efficiency, and reducing the rate of missed binding.

[0049] During the movement of the picking and placing component 32 along with the moving component 31, the clearance hole 3233 always faces upward in the vertical direction so that each material 201 being picked up can directly display its first barcode 202 to the first scanning unit 20. This avoids the moving component 31 driving the picking and placing component 32 to flip so that the clearance hole 3233 faces the first scanning unit 20 in the vertical direction, thereby effectively improving the scanning and binding efficiency and simplifying the overall structure and movement path of the handling unit 30.

[0050] In addition, by scanning and binding the material group 200 during the transfer process of the material group 200 by the handling unit 30, the palletizing position 133 can be quickly freed up. This allows the first conveying unit 10 to simultaneously palletize the next material group 200 while the previous material group 200 is transferred by the transfer unit and scanned and bound by the first scanning unit 20, thereby further improving production efficiency.

[0051] Please see Figure 5-6As shown, the pick-and-place assembly 32 includes a pick-and-place drive 321, a first clamping member 322, and a second clamping member 323. The pick-and-place drive 321 is connected to the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 respectively, and is used to drive at least one of the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 to move relative to the other, so that the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 move closer to each other at the stacking position 133 to pick up the material group 200, or to move the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 away from each other at the predetermined position 71 to place the picked-up material group 200 at the predetermined position 71.

[0052] The first clamping member 322 or the second clamping member 323, which is away from the pick-and-place driving member 321, is configured to form the clearance hole 3233. Therefore, the clearance hole 3233 is located on one side of the pick-and-place driving member 321, so that the first barcode 202 of each material 201 in the material group 200 picked up by the pick-and-place component 32 can be displayed to the first scanning unit 20 through the clearance hole 3233, thereby facilitating the first scanning unit 20 to perform batch scanning and binding of each material 201 in the material group 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, the pick-and-place drive 321 simultaneously drives the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 to move closer to each other to pick up the material group 200 located at the palletizing position 133, and simultaneously drives the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323 to move further apart to place the picked-up material group 200 at the predetermined position 71. This can improve the efficiency of the pick-and-place assembly 32 in picking up and placing the material group 200, and enable the picked-up material group 200 to be adaptively clamped by the first clamping member 322 and the second clamping member 323.

[0054] The first clamping member 322 includes a first clamping portion 3221 and a first connecting portion 3222, the first connecting portion 3222 being connected between the first clamping portion 3221 and the pick-and-place driving member 321. The second clamping member 323 includes a second clamping portion 3231 and a second connecting portion 3232, the second connecting portion 3232 being connected between the second clamping portion 3231 and the pick-and-place driving member 321.

[0055] The second clamping part 3231 is located away from the first clamping part 3221 and away from the pick-and-place drive member 321, and the second connecting part 3232 is configured to form the avoidance hole 3233, so that the avoidance hole 3233 is offset from the pick-and-place drive member 321, thereby facilitating the first scanning unit 20 to scan and bind the material group 200 picked up by the pick-and-place component 32.

[0056] Please see Figure 5-6 As shown, the pick-and-place component 32 has a binding position 325, which is located vertically between the palletizing position 133 and the first scanning unit.

[0057] When the handling unit 30 transfers the material group 200 from the palletizing position 133 to the binding position 325, the first conveying unit 10 simultaneously pallets the next material group 200, thereby quickly freeing up the palletizing position 133, shortening the waiting time of the first conveying unit 10, and thus enabling rapid palletizing of the next material group 200, thereby improving palletizing efficiency.

[0058] Preferably, the binding position 325 and the first scanning unit 20 are located directly above the palletizing position 133, so that the moving component 31 can vertically drive the pick-and-place component 32 to move from the palletizing position 133 to the binding position 325, thereby shortening the time for the material group 200 to move to the binding position 325; and so that the material group 200 located at the binding position 325 is in the optimal scanning area of ​​the first scanning unit 20, thereby shortening the focusing time and improving the scanning efficiency.

[0059] Please see Figure 2-3 As shown, the binding and handling module 100 also includes a supplementary lighting unit 40. The supplementary lighting unit 40 is located above the palletizing position 133 and is used to provide supplementary lighting for the material group 200 located at the palletizing position 133. By setting the supplementary lighting unit 40, the first barcode 202 of each material 201 in the material group 200 located at the binding position 325 can be more clearly displayed to the first scanning unit 20, thereby further improving the accuracy and efficiency of the scanning by the first scanning unit 20.

[0060] Please see Figure 2-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first conveying unit 10 is also used to convey materials 201 one by one along the second direction L2, and a scanning position 111 is provided at the end of the second direction L2, the scanning position 111 being used for the materials 201 to be scanned one by one.

[0061] The binding and handling module 100 further includes a second barcode scanning unit 50. The second barcode scanning unit 50 is located behind the scanning position 111 along the second direction L2, and is used to scan the second barcode 203 of each material 201 that moves to the scanning position 111. Therefore, each material 201 needs to have its second barcode 203 scanned and identified by the second barcode scanning unit 50 at the scanning position 111 before moving to the palletizing position 133 for palletizing. After palletizing, it is then transferred by the handling unit 30 to the binding position 325 for barcode scanning and binding by the first barcode scanning unit 20. By scanning the second barcode 203 of each material 201 located at the palletizing position 133 one by one by the second barcode scanning unit 50, it can be confirmed whether the material 201 with the scanned second barcode 203 is from the same batch or has the same specification as other materials 201 to be bound, thereby avoiding the binding of materials 201 from different batches or of different specifications that do not meet the binding requirements together.

[0062] Wherein, the second direction L2 and the first direction L1 are two different directions, and the scanning position 111 and the palletizing position 133 are located on the straight line of the first direction L1, so that after each material 201 moves along the second direction L2 to the palletizing position 133 and is scanned by the second scanning unit 50, the material 201 will move along the first direction L1 to the palletizing position 133, thereby effectively improving the palletizing efficiency.

[0063] Please see Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the pick-and-place component 32 has a recycling position 324 located between the palletizing position 133 and the predetermined position 71, for recycling material groups 200 that do not meet the binding requirements.

[0064] If the second barcode 203 corresponding to at least one material 201 in any material group 200 does not match the preset second barcode 203 information, it is determined that the material 201 cannot be bound together with other materials 201. Therefore, the first scanning unit 20 does not bind each material 201 in the material group 200, and the moving component 31 drives the picking and placing component 32 to transfer the material group 200 to the recycling position 324 for recycling.

[0065] Please see Figure 2-4As shown, the first conveying unit 10 includes a first conveying component 11, a pushing component 12, and a palletizing component 13. The first conveying component 11 is configured to form the scanning position 111. The pushing component 12 and the palletizing component 13 are located on opposite sides of the palletizing position 133 along the first direction L1, so that the material 201 scanned by the second scanning unit 50 for the second barcode 203 at the scanning position 111 can be quickly and directly pushed to the palletizing position 133 by the pushing component 12.

[0066] The first conveying component 11 includes a first conveying drive 112, a first track 113, and a first conveyor belt 114. The first conveyor belt 114 is disposed on the first track 113 and, driven by the first conveying drive 112, moves the material 201 it carries toward the palletizing position 133, thereby orderly conveying the material 201 one by one to the scanning position 111.

[0067] The pushing component 12 includes a pushing driver 121 and a pushing block 122. The pushing block 122 is located at the output end of the pushing driver 121 and, driven by the pushing driver 121, pushes the material 201 scanned by the second scanning unit 50 along the first direction L1 to the palletizing position 133, thereby quickly realizing the palletizing of the material 201.

[0068] The palletizing assembly 13 includes a support plate 131 and a side plate 132. The side plate 132 surrounds the support plate 131 on the side facing the first scanning unit 20 and together with the support plate 131 forms the palletizing position 133. The side plate 132 has a notch 134 along the first direction L1 towards the scanning position 111, and the notch 134 is used to allow material 201 to enter the palletizing position 133 from the scanning position 111.

[0069] Preferably, the side plate 132 also has a guide portion 135 at the notch 134, so that the material 201 at the scanning position 111 can move smoothly and stably to the stacking position 133.

[0070] In some embodiments, the position of the side plate 132 on the support plate 131 is adjustable so that the stacking position 133 can be adapted to materials 201 of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the binding and handling module 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the pusher 122 can adaptively push each material 201 to the corresponding area on the palletizing position 133 under the drive of the pusher 121. That is, for different materials 201 in the same material group 200, the pusher 122 reaches different areas on the palletizing position 133 under the drive of the pusher 121.

[0072] In some embodiments, the pusher 122 drives each material 201 to move to the stacking position 133 near the notch 134 under the drive of the pusher 121, and pushes the next material 201 to abut against the previous material 201 to make the previous material 201 move.

[0073] The first conveying assembly 11 further includes a rolling drive 115, a first roller group 116, and a plurality of second roller groups 117. The first roller group 116 is disposed along the second direction L2 between the end of the first track 113 and the plurality of second roller groups 117, and the first roller group 116 and the plurality of second roller groups 117 together form the scanning position 111. The rolling drive 115 is used to rotate the first roller group 116 to drive the material 201 on the first conveyor belt 114 to leave the first conveyor belt 114 and move to the scanning position 111.

[0074] By configuring the rolling drive 115, the first roller group 116, and multiple second roller groups 117, the scanning position 111 is separated from the first conveyor belt 114, thereby enabling the material 201 entering the scanning position 111 to be stably scanned by the second scanning unit 50, improving the scanning efficiency and accuracy of the second scanning unit 50 for the second barcode 203.

[0075] Please see Figure 2-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the binding and handling module 100 further includes an interception unit 60, which is located on one side of the first track 113. When there is still material 201 at the scanning position 111, the interception unit 60 intercepts the material 201 on the first conveyor belt 114 that is about to reach the scanning position 111, so as to prevent the material 201 from affecting the scanning of the material 201 located at the scanning position 111.

[0076] The interception unit 60 includes an interceptor 61 and an interception drive 62. The interceptor 61 intercepts or releases the material 201 under the drive of the interception drive 62.

[0077] Please see Figure 2-4As shown, in some embodiments, the binding and handling module 100 further includes a second conveying unit 70, which is located behind the first conveying unit 10 and is configured to form the predetermined position 71, and is used to synchronously convey the bound material group 200 along the second direction L2.

[0078] During the process of the moving component 31 driving the pick-and-place component 32 to move between the stacking position 133 and the predetermined position 71, the moving component 31 also drives the pick-and-place component 32 to rotate along the vertical rotation axis L4, wherein the rotation axis L4 is located on one side of the clearance hole 3233, and when the moving component 31 drives the pick-and-place component 32 to move to the stacking position 133, the rotation axis L4 is located on the side of the clearance hole 3233 closer to the second conveying unit 70, and when the moving component 31 drives the pick-and-place component 32 to move to the predetermined position 71, the rotation axis L4 is located on the side of the clearance hole 3233 away from the second conveying unit 70.

[0079] The rotation of the pick-and-place component 32 under the drive of the moving component 31 can reduce the range of motion of the moving component 31, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the binding and handling module 100. In addition, the rotation of the pick-and-place component 32 along the rotation axis L4 can also improve the efficiency of the material group 200 moving from the palletizing position 133 to the predetermined position 71.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second conveying unit 70 includes a second conveying drive 72, a second track 73, and a second conveyor belt 74. The second conveyor belt 74 is disposed on the second track 73 and is driven by the second conveying drive 72 to move the material group 200 it carries.

[0081] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the moving component 31 includes a base 311, a first moving arm 312, and a second moving arm 313. The first moving arm 312 is rotatably connected to the base 311 along a first rotation axis L3 in the vertical direction, and the second moving arm 313 is rotatably connected to the first moving arm 312 along the rotation axis L4. The second moving arm 313 can also move up and down relative to the first moving arm 312 in the vertical direction, or the first moving arm 312 can move up and down relative to the base 311 in the vertical direction.

[0082] The moving drive is connected to the second moving arm 313 and moves vertically and between the palletizing position 133 and the predetermined position 71 through the first moving arm 312 and the second moving arm 313.

[0083] In some embodiments, the moving component 31 further includes a third moving arm 314, which is rotatably connected to the base 311 along a second rotation axis L5 in the vertical direction. The first moving arm 312 is rotatably connected to the third moving arm 314 along the first rotation axis L3, so that the first moving arm 312, the second moving arm 313 and the third moving arm 314 can rotate relative to the base 311, thereby effectively increasing the range of motion covered by the moving component 31.

[0084] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, on the other hand, this application also provides a processing device, which includes the binding and transporting module 100 described in any of the above claims. Therefore, the processing device has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0085] The processing equipment may further include a feeding module and a discharging module. The feeding module is used to supply materials 201 one by one to the first conveying unit 10, and the discharging module is used to transfer the bound material group 200 from the second conveying unit 70.

[0086] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0087] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0088] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
