[0041] Figure 1A schematic diagram of the pick-and-place device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a pick-and-place device. The pick-and-place device includes a housing 10, a rotating assembly 20, and a control panel 30. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity, and the housing 10 has a first opening 11 and a second opening, which are respectively connected to the receiving cavity. The rotating assembly 20 includes a hanging component 21 and a first driving component, both of which are located within the receiving cavity. The outer periphery of the hanging component 21 has a connecting portion 211, which corresponds to the position of the first opening 11. The connecting portion 211 is configured to connect multiple tools along the circumference of the hanging component 21. The first driving component is connected to the hanging component 21 and can drive the hanging component 21 to rotate around its own axis, so that the corresponding tool on the connecting portion 211 rotates to a position corresponding to the first opening 11. The control panel 30 is located at the second opening and is electrically connected to the first driving component.

[0042] By using the pick-and-place device in this technical solution, the receiving cavity is used to accommodate the rotating component 20 and the control panel 30. The operator can drive the first driving component through the control panel 30, thereby driving the connecting part 211 and the hanging object 21 to rotate. Different tools are connected to the connecting part 211 along the circumference of the hanging object 21. After the connecting part 211 is rotated, the corresponding tool can be rotated to the first opening 11, which is convenient for the operator to pick up and store, improves the storage efficiency of the tools, and is conducive to organization.

[0043] For example, the control panel 30 is electrically connected to a control button, which, when pressed, controls the first drive to perform an action.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving component can be a motor or a cylinder or other driving component. Under the drive of the first driving component, the connecting part 211 and the hanging object 21 can rotate around themselves. Since multiple different tools are connected to the connecting part 211 along the circumference of the hanging object 21, the corresponding tools can be rotated to the first opening 11 as the hanging object 21 rotates, making it convenient for the operator to take out or place the tools on the connecting part 211 through the first opening 11.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the axial direction Y of the hanging object is parallel to the height direction of the picking and placing device.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the pick-and-place device also includes a door assembly, which includes a movable door 41 and a second driving member. Both the movable door 41 and the second driving member are disposed within the receiving cavity. The movable door 41 is located between the connecting portion 211 and the first opening 11. The second driving member is connected to the movable door 41 and can drive the movable door 41 to move along a first direction X. The movable door 41 is configured to open or close the first opening 11. The first direction X intersects the axis Y of the hanging object. In this embodiment, the second driving member can be a motor or cylinder, etc., and can drive the movable door 41 to move along the first direction X. In this embodiment, the first direction X is parallel to the length direction of the pick-and-place device.

[0047] Specifically, the sliding door 41 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the sliding door 41 covers the first opening 11, thus closing the first opening 11. At this time, the operator does not need to use the tool-retrieving device to retrieve or place tools, preventing external dust from entering the receiving cavity. In the second state, the first opening 11 and the sliding door 41 are offset, that is, the sliding door 41 does not block the first opening 11, making the first opening 11 open. At this time, the operator can retrieve or place tools from the hanging object 21.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple first openings 11, multiple door components, and multiple connecting parts 211 are provided. The multiple door components, multiple first openings 11, and multiple connecting parts 211 are all spaced apart along the axial direction Y of the hanging object, and each of the multiple door components, multiple first openings 11, and multiple connecting parts 211 corresponds to the other. In this embodiment, when multiple identical tools need to be retrieved or placed, the operator can drive the first driving component through the control panel 30, causing the hanging object 21 to rotate. In this embodiment, the multiple connecting parts 211 connect to the same tools along the axial direction Y of the hanging object, thus allowing the operator to retrieve multiple identical parts through the multiple first openings 11.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, different tools can be fixed to the circumference of each connecting part 211 to increase the number of tools that can be placed on the connecting part 211 of the hanging object 21.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting part 211 includes multiple hook parts 212, which are spaced apart and connected to the outer periphery of the hanging object 21. Each hook part 212 is used to hook multiple tools one-to-one. In this embodiment, the tools are provided with hooking holes, which can be hooked onto the hook parts 212, thereby connecting the tools and the hanging object 21. Furthermore, as the hanging object 21 rotates, it can drive the multiple tools on the hook parts 212 to rotate, rotating the corresponding tools to the position corresponding to the first opening 11, making it convenient for the operator to reach into and retrieve them from the first opening 11.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting part 211 has a ring structure and is sleeved on the outside of the hanging object 21. Multiple hanging holes 2111 are spaced apart circumferentially on the connecting part 211, and these holes are used to connect with multiple tools one by one. In this embodiment, the tools can also be equipped with hooks that hang on the hanging holes 2111, thus connecting the tool to the connecting part 211. As the hanging object 21 rotates, the corresponding tool can also rotate to the first opening 11, allowing the tool to be picked up or put down.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control assembly also includes an electrical control cabinet 50, which is located at the bottom of the enclosure 10 and electrically connected to the control panel 30. In this embodiment, the electrical control cabinet 50 is a core device in industrial automation and electrical systems, mainly used for centralized installation, control, protection, and distribution of electrical energy and signals. It integrates components such as circuit breakers, contactors, relays, and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to achieve automated control and safety protection of the first drive unit, the second drive unit, and the control panel 30.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the electrical control cabinet 50 is provided with a roller structure 51, which is used to abut against the walking surface. In this embodiment, the roller structure 51 includes four rollers, which are respectively arranged circumferentially at the bottom of the electrical control cabinet 50, enabling the retrieval device to move and improving convenience. The cabinet door of the electrical control cabinet 50 is independently set and can be pulled open.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 10 has a third opening that communicates with the receiving cavity. The retrieval device also includes a drawer, which is configured to movably engage with the receiving cavity through the third opening. In this embodiment, the drawer can hold some commonly used small tools, making it convenient for operators to directly open the drawer to retrieve or store them, thus improving convenience.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the retrieval and placement device also includes an information reader 70, which is located outside the housing 10 and electrically connected to the control panel 30. In this embodiment, the information reader 70 can be a card reader or a barcode scanner, capable of identifying and unlocking the device by scanning a barcode or swiping a card of the operator, and then retrieving the corresponding tool through the control panel 30 to prevent tool loss.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pick-up and drop device also includes two safety light curtains 60. The two safety light curtains 60 are respectively disposed on the outer surface of the housing 10, and the two safety light curtains 60 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the first opening 11 along the first direction X. The two safety light curtains 60 are used to detect whether there are foreign objects at the first opening 11. The first direction X and the axis Y of the hanging object are intersected.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a reset button 80 is also provided on the outside of the housing 10, and the reset button 80 is electrically connected to the control panel 30. When the reset button 80 is pressed, the door assembly and the rotating assembly 20 can be reset, which facilitates the restoration of the position of the tools on the hanging object 21, and thus facilitates the accurate retrieval of the tools next time.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom of the electrical control cabinet 50 is provided with multiple support members.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an indicator light is provided on the top of the 10 housing, and the indicator light is electrically connected to the control panel. This is used to display the operating status of the loading and unloading device.

[0060] Further, in this embodiment, the operation process of the retrieval and placement device is as follows: the operator identifies their information at the information reader 70 using a card or unlocking code. The information reader 70 reads the operator's information and then uploads the information to the PLC of the electrical control cabinet 50, identifying the tool storage location (different tools are fixed in fixed positions around the circumference of the connecting part 211). According to the storage location, the motor rotates, driving the hanging object 21 to rotate, and stops after rotating to the pre-stored position (that is, rotating the corresponding tool to the first opening 11). For example, if the tool storage position is at the bottom connecting part 211, the second drive component of the door component corresponding to the bottom connecting part 211 is activated, driving the corresponding moving door 41 to open, allowing the operator to retrieve the tool. The moving doors 41 of other door components remain closed. After retrieving the tool, the operator operates the reset button 80 or the retrieval and placement device senses no operation for 1 minute and then closes the door, ending the process.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the operator can also directly obtain or store the corresponding tools through the control panel 30. After clicking the control panel 30, the operator can input the corresponding tool and control the rotating component 20 and the door component. The sequential steps of the rotating component 20 and the door component are the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
