[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] The structure of the flexible feeding automatic tray-stacking machine provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 as well as Figure 3As shown, the machine includes a frame 1, on the surface of which a touch screen 11 is mounted for controlling the entire machine; a feeding mechanism 2 and a SCARA robot 3 are mounted on the surface of the frame 1. The feeding mechanism 2 consists of a linear vibrator 21 and a buffer tray 22, which are mounted side by side on the surface of the frame 1.

[0020] During implementation, the product is placed in the vibrator 21, and the vibrator 21 vibrates the material into the buffer tray 22.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a transfer mechanism 5 is installed on the surface of the frame 1. The transfer mechanism 5 is used to transfer the material tray from the positioning bottom mold 4 and the two lifting platforms 6. The transfer mechanism 5 includes a linear module 51, a slide 52, a lifting cylinder 53, a support plate 54, and a cylinder gripper 55. The linear module 51 is fixed to the surface of the frame 1 by a bracket. The sliding end of the linear module 51 is fixed to the slide 52. The surface of the slide 52 is equipped with a lifting cylinder 53. The output end of the lifting cylinder 53 is fixed to the support plate 54. The two ends of the surface of the support plate 54 are equipped with cylinder grippers 55. The cylinder grippers 55 are used to clamp the material tray.

[0022] During implementation, the linear module 51 drives the lifting cylinder 53 on the surface of the carriage 52 to move to the lifting platform 6 in the empty material area.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, two sets of lifting platforms 6 are provided on the surface of the frame 1 and on one side of the feeding mechanism 2. The lifting platform 6 is composed of a lead screw module 61, a lifting plate 62 and a through-beam sensor 63. The lead screw module 61 is fixed to the surface of the frame 1 by a bracket. The sliding end of the lead screw module 61 is equipped with the lifting plate 62, which is used for lifting the material tray. The through-beam sensor 63 is installed on the surface of the frame 1 and on the outside of the lifting plate 62. The through-beam sensor 63 is used for sensing the position of the material tray. The two sets of lifting platforms 6 are respectively set in the empty material area and the full material area. The two sets of lifting platforms 6 are used for lifting the full material tray and the empty material tray, respectively.

[0024] During implementation, the lead screw module 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to lift the empty material tray. The lifting position is sensed by the through-beam sensor 63. Then, the lifting cylinder 53 drives the support plate 54 to descend and contact the empty material tray. Subsequently, the cylinder gripper 55 clamps the empty material tray and transfers it to the positioning bottom mold 4. Then, the transfer mechanism 5 returns to its original position.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, a positioning bottom mold 4 is installed on the surface of the frame 1 and between adjacent lifting platforms 6. The positioning bottom mold 4 is used for the support of the material tray. A material picking CCD camera 7 and a material placement CCD camera 8 are respectively installed on the surface of the frame 1 and directly above the buffer material tray 22 and the positioning bottom mold 4. The material picking CCD camera 7 and the material placement CCD camera 8 are used for visual inspection during material picking and placement, respectively.

[0026] During implementation, the SCARA robot 3 picks up the products from the buffer tray 22 and places them into the empty tray in sequence to achieve tray placement. During this process, the picking CCD camera 7 and the placement CCD camera 8 are used for visual detection during picking and placement. When the tray is full, the transfer mechanism 5 moves the full tray to the lifting platform 6 in the full area to achieve unloading.

[0027] Working principle: In use, the product is first placed into the vibrator 21, and the vibrator 21 vibrates the material into the buffer tray 22. Then, the linear module 51 drives the lifting cylinder 53 on the surface of the slide 52 to move to the lifting platform 6 in the empty material area. The screw module 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to lift the empty material tray. The lifting position is sensed by the through-beam sensor 63. Then, the lifting cylinder 53 drives the support plate 54 to descend and contact the empty material tray. Subsequently, the cylinder gripper 55 clamps the empty material tray and transfers it to the positioning bottom mold 4. Then, the transfer mechanism 5 returns to its original position.

[0028] Then, the SCARA robot 3 picks up the products in the buffer tray 22 and puts them into the empty tray in sequence to realize the tray placement. During this process, the picking CCD camera 7 and the placement CCD camera 8 are used for visual detection during the picking and placement process. When the tray is full, the transfer mechanism 5 moves the full tray to the lifting platform 6 in the full area to realize the unloading.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
