Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a material tray collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In factories manufacturing semiconductors and other electronic products, trays are typically used to hold materials and are placed on conveyor belts for material transfer. After the material transfer is completed, the trays need to be recycled and sorted for the next transfer. However, manual tray recycling is inefficient, while collecting with a robotic arm requires a large investment. To meet market needs, a tray collection device is required.

[0003] Existing collection devices mostly rely on manual collection of trays or robotic arms to transport trays to recycling devices, which is costly. Moreover, existing collection devices have a low collection capacity, making it inconvenient to collect empty trays together for cleaning and preventing automatic collection. In addition, existing collection devices usually lack height adjustment functionality, which means that the tray holder cannot be adjusted to the required height according to the needs of tray collection, thus reducing the collection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material tray collection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the small amount of material collected and the lack of height adjustment function.

[0006] Preferably, both the first and second conveyor frames are equipped with pulleys on their surfaces. The pulleys rotate with the inner walls of the first and second conveyor frames, respectively. A belt body is mounted on the surface of the pulley, and a material tray body is placed on the surface of the belt body. A guide rod is mounted on the surface of the frame, and a support claw is provided on the surface of the guide rod. The support claw rotates with the surface of the guide rod, and the inner wall of the support claw contacts the surface of the top plate of the first and second conveyor frames, respectively. A laser positioning sensor is mounted on the surface of the support base, and the output end of the laser positioning sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the controller. The material holding rack slides with the inner wall of the frame, and a proximity sensor is mounted on the surface of the material holding rack. The output end of the proximity sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the controller. A first electric push rod is installed inside both the first and second conveyor frames. The input end of the first electric push rod is electrically connected to the output end of the controller, and a top rod is mounted on the output end of the first electric push rod. Grooves are formed on both sides of the support base, and one end of the top rod extends into the groove and slides with the inner walls of the first and second conveyor frames, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism consists of a fixed cylinder, a second electric push rod, a guide groove, and an adjusting rod. A fixed cylinder is provided below both the first and second conveyor frames. An adjusting rod is provided inside the fixed cylinder. The top end of the adjusting rod passes through the first and second conveyor frames in sequence and is fixed to the surface at the bottom of the material holding frame.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed cylinder is provided with a guide groove, the guide groove slides in contact with the surface of the adjusting rod, a second electric push rod is installed inside the fixed cylinder, the input end of the second electric push rod is electrically connected to the output end of the controller, and the output end of the second electric push rod is fixed to the surface at the bottom of the adjusting rod.

[0009] Preferably, the incremental collection mechanism consists of a stainless steel U-shaped plate, a mounting groove, a locking block, and a mounting column. The surface of the fixing frame and the sensor is provided with stainless steel U-shaped plates, and the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plates is provided with mounting grooves.

[0010] Preferably, mounting posts are installed on both sides of the fixing frame, the mounting posts slide against the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the surface of the mounting posts is fitted with locking blocks, which engage with the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped sheet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the material tray collection device not only enables the collection device to collect empty material trays together for cleaning, and enables the collection device to automatically collect material trays, but also enables the material rack to be adjusted to the required height according to the needs of material tray collection, so that the material tray collection effect of the collection device is better.

[0012] 1. With an incremental collection mechanism, the user places the stainless steel U-shaped plate on the surface of the fixed frame and the sensor, and then pushes the stainless steel U-shaped plate downwards. This causes the stainless steel U-shaped plate to slide along the surface of the mounting column, and the mounting groove and the mounting column work together to guide the stainless steel U-shaped plate. When the stainless steel U-shaped plate moves to the desired position, the locking block on the surface of the mounting column automatically locks into the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plate, installing the stainless steel U-shaped plate on the surface of the fixed frame and the sensor. The stainless steel U-shaped plate blocks the sensor. When the empty material tray passes through the fixed frame and the sensor, it is stored between the material rack by default, realizing the function of increasing the material collection capacity of the collection device. This allows the collection device to collect empty material trays together for cleaning during use, enabling the collection device to automatically collect material trays during use.

[0013] 2. Equipped with a height adjustment mechanism, the height of the material rack can be adjusted according to usage needs. The controller controls the second electric push rod inside the fixed cylinder to operate. Under the action of the second electric push rod, the adjusting rod moves inside the fixed cylinder. At this time, the adjusting rod slides inside the guide groove, and is guided by the guide groove. When the adjusting rod moves upward, it drives the material rack to slide on the inner wall of the frame, causing the material rack to move upward and adjusting the height of the material rack. This realizes the height adjustment function of the collection device, so that the material rack can be adjusted to the required height according to the material tray collection needs, making the material tray collection effect of the collection device better.

[0021] The structure of the material tray collecting device provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the system includes a first conveyor frame 1, on which a controller 101 is mounted (e.g., LA series). A second conveyor frame 102 is mounted on one side of the first conveyor frame 1. Both the first and second conveyor frames 102 are equipped with pulleys 103, which rotate with the inner walls of the first and second conveyor frames 102 respectively. A belt body 104 is mounted on the surface of the pulleys 103, and a material tray body 107 is placed on the surface of the belt body 104. The first and second conveyor frames... The surfaces of conveyors 102 are all fitted with frames 113 by screws. Guide rods 115 are mounted on the surfaces of the frames 113, and support claws 114 are provided on the surfaces of the guide rods 115. The support claws 114 and the guide rods 115 rotate and engage with each other. The inner walls of the support claws 114 contact the surfaces of the top plates of the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102, respectively. Support seats 116 are mounted on the inner walls of the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102, and laser positioning sensors 117 are mounted on the surfaces of the support seats 116. The laser positioning sensor 117 can be of model E. In the X-series, the output of the laser positioning sensor 117 is electrically connected to the input of the controller 101. A material rack 105 is mounted on the surface of the frame 113, and the material rack 105 slides against the inner wall of the frame 113. A proximity sensor 106 is mounted on the surface of the material rack 105; this proximity sensor 106 can be a GA series model. The output of the proximity sensor 106 is electrically connected to the input of the controller 101. Both the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102 have a first electric push rod 111 installed inside; the first electric push rod 111 is of a certain model. The DG series can be used. The input end of the first electric push rod 111 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 101. The output end of the first electric push rod 111 is equipped with a push rod 110. The surfaces on both sides of the support base 116 are provided with grooves 109. One end of the push rod 110 extends into the interior of the groove 109 and slides against the inner walls of the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102 respectively. Fixing frames 112 are installed on the surfaces of the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102. Sensors 108 are installed on the surfaces of the fixing frames 112. There are five sensors 108.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the surfaces of the first conveyor frame 1, the second conveyor frame 102, and the material holding rack 105 are provided with height adjustment mechanisms 2. The height adjustment mechanism 2 consists of a fixed cylinder 21, a second electric push rod 22, a guide groove 23, and an adjusting rod 24. A fixed cylinder 21 is provided below the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102. An adjusting rod 24 is provided inside the fixed cylinder 21. The top end of the adjusting rod 24 passes through the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102 in sequence and is fixed to the surface at the bottom position of the material holding rack 105. A guide groove 23 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 21. The guide groove 23 and the surface of the adjusting rod 24 slide against each other. A second electric push rod 22 is installed inside the fixed cylinder 21. The model of the second electric push rod 22 can be selected from the DG series. The input end of the second electric push rod 22 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 101. The output end of the second electric push rod 22 is fixed to the surface at the bottom position of the adjusting rod 24.

[0023] In practice, the height of the material rack 105 can be adjusted according to usage needs. The controller 101 controls the second electric push rod 22 inside the fixed cylinder 21 to work. Under the action of the second electric push rod 22, the adjusting rod 24 moves inside the fixed cylinder 21. At this time, the adjusting rod 24 slides inside the guide groove 23 and is guided by the guide groove 23. When the adjusting rod 24 moves upward, it drives the material rack 105 to slide on the inner wall of the frame 113, thus moving the material rack 105 upward and adjusting the height of the material rack 105 to realize the function of adjusting the height of the collection device.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the sensor 108 and the mounting bracket 112 are provided with an incremental collection mechanism 3. The incremental collection mechanism 3 is composed of a stainless steel U-shaped plate 31, a mounting groove 32, a locking block 33 and a mounting post 34. The mounting bracket 112 and the sensor 108 are provided with a stainless steel U-shaped plate 31. The inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 is provided with a mounting groove 32. Mounting posts 34 are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 112. The mounting posts 34 slide and cooperate with the inner wall of the mounting groove 32. The surface of the mounting posts 34 is provided with a locking block 33. The locking block 33 is engaged with the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31.

[0025] In practice, the user places the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 on the surface of the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108, and then pushes the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 downward, so that the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 drives the mounting groove 32 to slide on the surface of the mounting column 34. Under the combined action of the mounting groove 32 and the mounting column 34, the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 is guided. When the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 moves to the desired position, the locking block 33 on the surface of the mounting column 34 automatically locks into the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31, installing the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 on the surface of the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108. Under the action of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31, the sensor 108 is blocked. When the empty material tray passes through the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108, it is stored between the material rack 105 by default, so as to realize the function of increasing the material collection capacity of the collection device.

[0026] Working principle: In use, firstly, the first conveyor frame 1 is placed in the designated position. After the tray body 107 enters the surface of the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102, it is conveyed by the combined action of the belt body 104 and the pulley 103. The tray body 107 enters the surface of the support base 116 and is stored between the material racks 105. At this time, the bottom of the tray body 107 is in contact with the surface of the support claws 114. The user places the stainless steel U-shaped piece 31 on the surface of the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108, and then pushes the stainless steel U-shaped piece 31 downward, so that the stainless steel U-shaped piece 31 drives the mounting groove 32 to slide on the surface of the mounting post 34. 2. Under the combined action of the mounting column 34, the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 is guided. When the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 moves to the required position, the locking block 33 on the surface of the mounting column 34 automatically locks into the inner wall of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31, installing the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31 on the surface of the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108. Under the action of the stainless steel U-shaped plate 31, the sensor 108 is blocked. When the empty material tray passes through the fixing frame 112 and the sensor 108, it is stored between the material rack 105 by default, so as to realize the function of increasing the material collection capacity of the collection device, so that the empty material tray can be collected together for cleaning when the collection device is used, and the collection device can automatically collect the material tray when it is used.

[0027] Subsequently, when the laser positioning sensor 117 on the surface of the support base 116 detects the tray body 107, the laser positioning sensor 117 sends a signal to the controller 101. After receiving the signal from the laser positioning sensor 117, the controller 101 automatically controls the first electric push rod 111 to work, causing the first electric push rod 111 to drive the push rod 110 to move upward, lifting the tray body 107 upward. In the normal state, the support claws 114 extend one end from the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102 respectively and are horizontally attached to the first conveyor frame 1 and the second conveyor frame 102. When the tray body 107 moves upward from bottom to top, the support claws 114 are on the surface of the guide rod 115. The rotating surface pushes the support claw 114 upward to provide a position for the upward movement of the tray body 107, allowing the tray body 107 to be continuously stacked between the material racks 105. It can also limit the stacking process of the tray body 107 to prevent it from tipping over. Under the action of the proximity sensor 106, the upper limit position of the tray body 107 can be sensed. When the proximity sensor 106 senses that the empty tray has reached the specified height, the proximity sensor 106 sends a signal to the controller 101. After receiving the signal from the proximity sensor 106, the controller 101 automatically alarms, prompting the staff to remove the tray body 107 between the material racks 105.

[0028] Subsequently, the height of the material rack 105 can be adjusted according to usage needs. The controller 101 controls the second electric push rod 22 inside the fixed cylinder 21 to work. Under the action of the second electric push rod 22, the adjusting rod 24 moves inside the fixed cylinder 21. At this time, the adjusting rod 24 slides inside the guide groove 23. Under the action of the guide groove 23, the adjusting rod 24 is guided. When the adjusting rod 24 moves upward, the adjusting rod 24 drives the material rack 105 to slide on the inner wall of the frame 113, driving the material rack 105 to move upward, thus adjusting the height of the material rack 105 to realize the function of adjusting the height of the collection device. This allows the material rack 105 to be adjusted to the required height according to the needs of material tray collection, making the collection effect of the collection device better and finally completing the use of the collection device.

[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. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
