[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0017] This application discloses a multi-layer receiving machine.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-5 The multi-layer receiving machine includes a feeding conveyor belt 1, a multi-axis robot arm 2, a storage rack 3, a placement rack 4, a receiving tray 5, and a transfer assembly 6. The feeding conveyor belt 1 is positioned close to the multi-axis robot arm 2, and it transports the lenses 9 from the previous process to the multi-axis robot arm 2. The output end of the multi-axis robot arm 2 is equipped with a suction cup 25, which moves the lenses 9 from the feeding conveyor belt 1 to the receiving tray 5. In this embodiment, the multi-axis robot arm 2 uses conventional technology and can achieve three-axis rotation as needed. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As can be seen, the multi-axis manipulator 2 includes a base 21, a first swing arm 22, a second swing arm 23, and a third swing arm 24 that are hinged in sequence. The first swing arm 22 is hinged to the base 21, the second swing arm 23 is hinged to the end of the first swing arm 22 away from the base 21, and the third swing arm 24 is hinged to the end of the second swing arm 23 away from the first swing arm 22. The suction cup 25 is connected to the third swing arm 24 (the output end of the multi-axis manipulator 2).

[0019] The storage rack 3 is located at one end away from the feeding conveyor belt 1. The placement rack 4 is located between the storage rack 3 and the feeding conveyor belt 1. The receiving tray 5 is slidably connected to both the placement rack 4 and the storage rack 3. The receiving tray 5 is used to receive the lens 9. The transfer component 6 moves the receiving tray 5 between the storage rack 3 and the placement rack 4.

[0020] The storage rack 3 includes four support rods 31 and support rails 32. The support rails 32 are arranged in multiple layers along the vertical direction, with two support rails 32 in each layer. The four support rods 31 form a square. The length direction of the support rails 32 is consistent with the direction from the storage rack 3 to the placement rack 4. The support rails 32 are fixedly connected to the two support rods 31 on the same side of the length direction of the storage rack 3. A pulley 51 is provided on the bottom surface of the receiving tray 5. The pulley 51 cooperates with the support rails 32 and slides along the support rails 32.

[0021] The placement rack 4 includes a fixed frame 41 and a placement plate 42. The fixed frame 41 is fixedly installed at both ends of the placement plate 42 along its length. The placement plate 42 is raised and lowered along the height of the fixed frame 41 via a lifting assembly 7. A mating rail 43 is provided on the top surface of the placement plate 42. The mating rail 43 can connect with the support rail 32. The pulley 51 can also be used in conjunction with the mating rail 43 and slide along the mating rail 43. The receiving tray 5 can slide from the support rail 32 to the mating rail 43, and the receiving tray 5 can also slide from the mating rail 43 to the support rail 32.

[0022] The transfer assembly 6 includes a horizontal linear module 61, a transfer plate 62, a magnetic block 63, and an iron sheet 64. The horizontal linear module 61 is installed on the top surface of the placement plate 42. One end of the transfer plate 62 is fixed to the slide of the horizontal linear module 61, and the other end of the transfer plate 62 extends to the front of the receiving tray 5. The magnetic block 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the transfer plate 62 near the receiving tray 5, and the iron sheet 64 is fixedly connected to the end of the receiving tray 5 near the transfer plate 62. The magnetic block 63 and the iron sheet 64 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0023] The lifting assembly 7 includes a lifting plate 71, a lead screw 72, and a guide rod 73. The lifting plate 71 is fixedly connected to both ends of the placement plate 42. The lead screw 72 passes through the lifting plate 71 and is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 71. The top end of the lead screw 72 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the fixed frame 41. The bottom end of the lead screw 72 is rotated by the drive assembly 8. The guide rod 73 passes through the lifting plate 71 and is slidably connected to the lifting plate 71. The top end of the guide rod 73 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 41.

[0024] The drive assembly 8 includes a drive motor 81, a drive gear 82, a driven gear 83, and a synchronous toothed belt 84. The output shaft of the drive motor 81 is coaxially connected to the drive gear 82. The drive gear 82 is fixedly coaxially connected to the bottom end of one of the lead screws 72. The driven gear 83 is fixedly coaxially connected to the bottom end of the other lead screw 72. The synchronous toothed belt 84 is simultaneously sleeved on the drive gear 82 and the driven gear 83, and the synchronous toothed belt 84 meshes with both the drive gear 82 and the driven gear 83.

[0025] The lifting assembly 7 raises and lowers the placement plate 42 to the height of the empty receiving tray 5. Then, the horizontal linear module 61 moves the transfer plate 62 to the storage rack 3 so that the magnetic block 63 magnetically attracts the corresponding iron piece 64 on the receiving tray 5. Then, the horizontal linear module 61, through the transfer plate 62, moves the receiving tray 5 from the storage rack 3 to the placement rack 4. At this time, the multi-axis robot 2 rotates to a position that does not obstruct the movement of the transfer plate 62. Then, the lifting assembly 7 raises and lowers the placement plate 42 to a suitable receiving position. Then, the multi-axis robot 2 picks up the lens 9 on the loading conveyor belt 1 and puts it onto the receiving tray 5. After the receiving tray 5 is filled, the lifting component 7 raises and lowers the placement plate 42 to the previous height. The horizontal linear module 61 then moves the receiving tray 5 from the placement rack 4 to the original position of the storage rack 3 via the transfer plate 62. Then, the operator holds the receiving tray 5 to position it, so that the magnetic block 63 and the iron sheet 64 are separated. When the operator removes the receiving tray 5, the transfer component 6 of the equipment moves the empty receiving tray 5 on the other layer of support rail 32 to the placement rack 4 to continue receiving materials. This saves manpower, ensures high continuity of material receiving, and improves material receiving efficiency.

[0026] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
