[0020] Positioning pins 23 are installed on the first lifting connecting rod 13 and the second lifting connecting rod 17, and a sensor seat 3 is installed on the second lifting connecting rod 17.

[0021] Working principle:

[0022] Feed port module:

[0023] After the workpiece is manually placed on the inlet tray, the lifting machine is positioned by an absolute encoder and vertically lifted 300mm along the linear guide to the upper conveyor line.

[0024] The safety light curtain forms a 400×600mm rectangular monitoring area. When personnel intrusion is detected, the emergency stop circuit is immediately triggered and the hydraulic system of the hoist is locked. Operation is resumed after the personnel have exited by pressing the reset button.

[0025] Double-layer high-speed chain conveyor line:

[0026] The upper conveyor line is driven by a variable frequency speed control motor, and the conveying speed is adjustable from 0.5 to 3 m / s. It is equipped with workpiece anti-deviation limit guards.

[0027] The lower rotary line achieves 180° horizontal rotation through a worm gear mechanism, forming a closed-loop circulation system with the upper line, with a pallet return cycle of ≤15s.

[0028] Model identification device:

[0029] Adjust the initial position of stop 10;

[0030] When a product enters, barcode scanner 22 reads the QR code information, and the system verifies the specifications.

[0031] Error prevention sensor 21 detects the offset of irregular position, generates a code, and compares it with the QR code information;

[0032] After the double verification is passed, the first cylinder 12 and the second cylinder 16 drive the positioning pin 23 to insert, triggering the robot to pick up the material;

[0033] If any verification fails, the error prevention sensor 21 will trigger an interception and an alarm will prompt manual intervention.

[0034] Robot loading station:

[0035] After receiving the material handling instruction, the robot uses a force-position hybrid control algorithm to complete the workpiece gripping, with a gripping and positioning accuracy of ±0.1mm;

[0036] After the material is picked up, the lifting platform descends to the lower line via a magnetic coupling cylinder, and the empty pallet returns to the unloading port via a chain conveyor.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail above, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the processes, apparatus, means, methods, and steps described in the specification.
