[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model proposes an integrated transportation and processing device for transporting and processing materials. The integrated transportation and processing device includes a frame 100, a transportation mechanism 200, a flipping mechanism 300, and a processing mechanism 400. The frame 100 includes a first layer frame 101 and a second layer frame 102 stacked together. The transportation mechanism 200 is disposed on the first layer frame 101 for receiving and transporting materials. The flipping mechanism 300 is disposed on the second layer frame 102 for grabbing materials from the transportation mechanism 200 onto the second layer frame 102 and flipping the materials. The processing mechanism 400 is disposed on the second layer frame 102 for receiving materials from the flipping mechanism 300 and processing the materials.

[0031] It should be noted that (see attached document) Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 Located on the same layer as the first shelf 101, and at the end of the transport mechanism 200, a receiving transport platform is provided to receive materials that have been processed by the processing mechanism 400. In addition, the materials entering the transport mechanism 200 are on pallets, and the materials are placed in the pallets.

[0032] In this embodiment, the specific implementation is as follows: the transport mechanism 200 receives materials from the outside with pallets, the flipping mechanism 300 intercepts the materials on the pallets and flips them 360°, at which point the materials are located at the second shelf 102. It should be noted that pallets without materials will still be transported down by the transport mechanism 200 and received by the receiving transport platform. The processing mechanism 400 obtains materials from the flipping mechanism 300, processes them, and moves the processed materials directly to the pallets in the receiving transport platform. It should be added that the operation of the flipping mechanism 300 and the processing mechanism 400 is synchronized with the transport mechanism 200. This can be adjusted by the engineer according to user requirements to ensure that the pallets of materials entering the transport mechanism 200 and being placed on the receiving transport platform are the same.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the transport mechanism 200 includes a first transport platform 201, a second transport platform 202, and a first positioning component 203. The first transport platform 201 is used to receive materials from the outside. The second transport platform 202 is disposed at the output of the first transport platform 201 to receive materials from the first transport platform 201. The first positioning component 203 is disposed on one side of the first transport platform 201 to push the materials placed on the first transport platform 201 to the positioning area.

[0034] It should be noted that the operation process on the first transport platform 201 includes transporting materials, positioning materials, and serving as a platform for the flipping mechanism 300 to grasp materials. The operation process on the second transport platform 202 is only for transporting materials. During the execution process, the materials enter the first transport platform 201 and are pushed to the positioning area by the first positioning component 203. The positioning area is the area where the flipping mechanism 300 grasps the materials, and each material is in the same position in this positioning area to avoid material position deviations that could affect the normal processing flow. After the materials are taken away by the flipping mechanism 300, the pallet is transported by the first transport platform 201 to the second transport platform 202 and then transported by the second transport platform 202 to the receiving transport platform.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the first positioning component 203 includes an L-shaped positioning frame 2031, a first pusher 2032, and a second pusher 2033. The L-shaped positioning frame 2031 is positioned above the first transport platform 201. The L-shaped positioning frame 2031 includes a first side and a second side arranged adjacent to each other. The first pusher 2032 is used to push the material to abut against the first side, and the second pusher 2033 is used to push the material to abut against the second side.

[0036] It should be noted that (see attached document) Figure 3 The first pusher 2032 and the second pusher 2033 are also installed on the first shelf 101, with the first pusher 2032 placed on the opposite side of the first side and the second pusher 2033 placed on the opposite side of the second side. The first pusher 2032 and the second pusher 2033 include, but are not limited to, telescopic cylinders. Of course, other telescopic transmission structures can also be selected. When the material is fed into the first transport table 201, the first pusher 2032 and the second pusher 2033 push the material to the first side and the second side of the L-shaped positioning frame 2031. At this time, this position is the positioning area so that the flipping mechanism 300 can obtain the material.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the flipping mechanism 300 includes a first Z-axis drive module 301, a first mounting bracket 302, an R-axis drive module 303, and a first gripper 304. The first Z-axis drive module is driven to the first mounting bracket 302 to drive the first mounting bracket 302 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The R-axis drive module 303 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 302, and the output end of the R-axis drive module 303 is driven to the first gripper 304 to drive the first gripper 304 to flip.

[0038] It should be noted that the first Z-axis drive module 301 is formed by the combination of a guide rail and a drive component. The first mounting bracket 302 is mounted on the guide rail and driven by the drive component. Under the drive of the drive component, the first mounting bracket 302 moves along the guide rail. Since the guide rail in the first Z-axis drive module 301 is vertically mounted on the second layer 102, the moving direction of the first mounting bracket 302 is vertical. The R-axis drive module 303 is actually a rotary motor. The drive end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the first gripper 304 to drive the first gripper 304 to rotate around the rotation axis of the drive end.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the processing mechanism 400 includes at least one processing table 401, an X-axis drive module 402, and at least one gripping component 403. Each processing table 401 is mounted on a second shelf 102 and used to fix materials. The X-axis drive module 402 is mounted on the second shelf 102 and drivenly connected to each gripping component 403. Under the drive of the X-axis drive module 402, the gripping component 403 is placed at the corresponding processing table 401.

[0040] It should be noted that there can be one or more processing tables 401, depending on the user's actual needs. When multiple processing tables 401 are required, they are arranged side by side on the second shelf 102. The X-axis drive module 402 is also formed by the combination of guide rail and drive component. The guide rail of the X-axis drive module 402 spans the entire second shelf 102 and is placed above each processing table 401. Each gripping component 403 is installed on the guide rail and driven by the drive component. It should be noted that the position of each gripping component 403 on the guide rail must match the position of each processing table 401.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the processing table 401 includes a Y-axis drive module 4011, a fixed plate 4012, and a second positioning component 4013. The Y-axis drive module 4011 is drivenly connected to the fixed plate 4012, and the second positioning component 4013 is mounted on the fixed plate 4012 for positioning materials.

[0042] The second positioning component 4013 includes at least two positioning blocks 40131, a third pusher 40132 and a fourth pusher 40133. Each positioning block 40131 is respectively disposed on two adjacent sides of the fixed plate 4012. The third pusher 40132 and the fourth pusher 40133 cooperate to push the material to the two adjacent sides of the fixed plate 4012.

[0043] The gripping component 403 includes a second mounting bracket 4031, a second Z-axis drive module 4032, and a second gripping member 4032. The second mounting bracket 4031 is driven to be connected to the Y-axis drive module 4011, the second Z-axis drive module 4032 is fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket 4031, and the second gripping member 4032 is driven to be connected to the second Z-axis drive module 4032.

[0044] It should be noted that in the specific implementation, the material is picked up by the second gripper 4032 and transferred to the corresponding fixed plate 4012. The third pusher 40132 and the fourth pusher 40133 push the material to the positioning blocks 40131 on the two adjacent sides of the fixed plate 4012 to determine the position of the material. It should be noted that this integrated transportation and processing device requires an external processing equipment to process the material placed on the processing table 401. The function of the processing table 401 is to fix the material and position it to ensure that the material is in the correct position so that the external processing equipment can process the material correctly. The first gripper 304 and the second gripper 4032 have the same structure, both of which adopt a suction cup array structure to stably grip the material without damaging it. The first Z-axis drive module 301, the second Z-axis drive module 4032 and the Y-axis drive module 4011 are all similar linear drive structures, all of which adopt a combination structure of guide rail and drive component, which will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, but it is not intended that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
