Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of material conveying technology, and more specifically, relates to a conveying device, material distribution equipment and processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material conveying, in order to facilitate the independent operation of the hopper, some material conveying devices adopt a design scheme in which the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism of the hopper can be separated. When it is necessary to convey materials, the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism can be connected separately to realize the transmission of power from the drive mechanism to the transmission mechanism.

[0003] Traditional separable material conveying devices require extremely high alignment accuracy between the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism when they are realigned after separation. For example, if there are errors in the processing and assembly of the material box, there will be a deviation between the power output component on the drive mechanism and the power receiving component on the transmission mechanism. When attempting to transmit power, there may be problems such as poor power transmission, jamming, or even failure to transmit power. Utility Model Content

[0006] Optionally, the power receiver is a columnar structure; and / or, the actuating element is a columnar structure.

[0007] Optionally, both the power receiver and the actuating component are cylindrical, with the axis of the power receiver perpendicular to the axis of the transmission shaft, and the axis of the actuating component parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the rotating component.

[0008] Optionally, the sidewall of the power receiving member is provided with a flat portion; when the driving mechanism transmits power to the transmission mechanism, the flat portion is oriented towards the rotation path direction of the actuating member.

[0009] Optionally, the power receiving member protrudes radially from the drive shaft, and the actuating member has a guide portion at one end away from the rotating member, the radial cross section of the guide portion gradually tapering away from the rotating member along the axis of the actuating member.

[0010] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a support base, a push-pull driving component, a moving block, and a rotary driving component. The support base is mounted on the frame, the push-pull driving component is mounted on the support base, the output end of the push-pull driving component is connected to the moving block, the rotary driving component is mounted on the moving block, and the output end of the rotary driving component is connected to the rotating component. The push-pull driving component is used to drive the actuating component to move in a preset direction.

[0011] Optionally, the drive mechanism further includes a first sensor disposed on the support base, the first sensor being used to detect the position of the toggle member in the preset direction.

[0012] Optionally, the drive mechanism further includes a second sensor disposed on the moving block for detecting the position of the toggle member on its own rotation path.

[0013] Optionally, the drive mechanism further includes two third sensors, which are arranged vertically at intervals on the support base. The third sensors are used to detect the position of the power receiver on its own rotation path.

[0014] Optionally, the number of transmission mechanisms is multiple, and the multiple transmission mechanisms are spaced apart along the height direction of the material frame. The conveying device also includes a lifting mechanism and a bracket. The lifting mechanism is mounted on the frame and connected to the bracket, and the bracket is used to support the material box.

[0015] Optionally, the conveying device further includes a moving mechanism, and the frame is mounted on the moving mechanism.

In this way, a separable transmission connection between the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism is realized.

[0020] By having the power receiver protrude radially out of the drive shaft, or the actuating component protrude radially out of the rotating component, the initial gap between the actuating component and the power receiver can be greater than the error generated during the processing and assembly of the material box before the power receiver is on the rotation path of the actuating component and the actuating component intersects and contacts the power receiver. This ensures that the actuating component and the power receiver can eventually intersect and contact smoothly and reliably, thereby actuating the power receiver. This effectively improves the reliability and stability of the drive mechanism when transmitting power to the transmission mechanism, while significantly reducing the requirements for the processing accuracy and assembly accuracy of the material box.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 12 The conveying device 200 provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The conveying device 200 is used to convey the board material in the material box 100, wherein the board material can be, but is not limited to, printed circuit boards (PCBs). The material box 100 includes a material frame 10 and a transmission mechanism 20. The transmission mechanism 20 is used to convey the board material in the material frame 10 to external equipment, or to convey the board material on the external equipment into the material frame 10. A transmission shaft 22 is provided on the transmission mechanism 20.

[0029] The conveying device 200 includes a frame 30, a drive mechanism 40, a rotating component 42, and a power receiving component 23. The drive mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 30, and the output end of the drive mechanism 40 is connected to the rotating component 42. The rotating component 42 is provided with a toggle component 43, and the power receiving component 23 is connected to the drive shaft 22.

[0030] In this configuration, the power receiving component 23 protrudes radially from the transmission shaft 22, and the axis of the actuating component 43 is not collinear with the axis of the rotating component 42. When the driving mechanism 40 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, the power receiving component 23 is positioned on the rotation path of the actuating component 43. Figure 8 and Figure 9 Alternatively, the axis of the power receiver 23 is not collinear with the axis of the drive shaft 22, and the actuating member 43 protrudes radially from the rotating member 42. When the drive mechanism 40 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, the power receiver 23 is located on the rotation path of the actuating member 43. Understandably, the drive mechanism 40 is used to output power to the transmission mechanism 20, enabling the transmission mechanism 20 to transport sheet metal.

[0031] Specifically, when the drive mechanism 40 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, the material box 100 is in the first position and the actuating member 43 is in the second position. In other words, when the material box 100 is in the first position and the actuating member 43 is in the second position, the power receiving member 23 is on the rotation path of the actuating member 43. At this time, when the drive mechanism 40 drives the actuating member 43 to rotate through the rotating member 42, the actuating member 43 can come into contact with the power receiving member 23 and actuate the power receiving member 23 to rotate. The power receiving member 23 drives the transmission shaft 22 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 22 rotates, it drives the transmission mechanism 20 to operate. That is, the power output by the drive mechanism 40 is transmitted to the transmission mechanism 20 in sequence through the rotating member 42, the actuating member 43, the power receiving member 23, and the transmission shaft 22.

[0032] When the power receiving component 23 is on the rotation path of the actuating component 43, and the drive mechanism 40 drives the transmission shaft 22 to rotate around its own axis, the rotating component 42 drives the actuating component 43 to rotate around the axis of the rotating component 42. After the actuating component 43 and the power receiving component 23 come into contact, the actuating component 43 actuates the power receiving component 23 to rotate. The power receiving component 23 drives the transmission shaft 22 to rotate around its own axis. The transmission shaft 22 drives the transmission mechanism 20 to operate. The transmission mechanism 20 drives the sheet material to move within the material frame 10, so that the transmission mechanism 20 can transport the sheet material in the material frame 10 to external equipment, or transport the sheet material on external equipment to the material frame 10.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the conveying device 200 provided in this application has the following advantages: when the drive mechanism 40 of the conveying device 200 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, the power receiving component 23 is located on the rotation path of the actuating component 43. When the drive mechanism 40 is started, the drive mechanism 40 drives the actuating component 43 to rotate through the rotating component 42, so that the actuating component 43 intersects and contacts the power receiving component 23 and actuates the power receiving component 23. The power output by the drive mechanism 40 is transmitted to the transmission mechanism 20 in sequence through the rotating component 42, the actuating component 43, the power receiving component 23 and the transmission shaft 22. The transmission mechanism 20 drives the sheet material to move within the material frame 10. In this way, a separable transmission connection between the drive mechanism 40 and the transmission mechanism 20 is realized, so that the material box 100 can be separated from the conveying device 200. This allows for the replacement of different material boxes 100 at will, which is beneficial to improving the versatility and flexibility of the conveying device 200, and is beneficial to improving the sheet material delivery efficiency and reducing the sheet material delivery cost.

[0034] In addition, by having the power receiver 23 protrude radially from the drive shaft 22, or the actuating member 43 protrude radially from the rotating member 42, the initial gap between the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 before the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 intersect and contact each other can be greater than the error generated during the processing and assembly of the material box 100. This ensures that the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 can eventually intersect and contact smoothly and reliably, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the drive mechanism 40 transmitting power to the transmission mechanism 20, while significantly reducing the processing accuracy and assembly accuracy requirements of the material box 100. In other words, even if there are machining or assembly errors in the material box 100, as long as the error is within the range of the initial gap, the actuating component 43 can still smoothly intersect and contact with the power receiving component 23 during rotation, achieving stable and reliable power transmission. At the same time, there is no need to perform ultra-high precision machining and accurate assembly on the material box 100, which significantly reduces the requirements for machining accuracy and assembly accuracy of the material box 100, thereby reducing production costs.

[0035] Combined with appendix Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The transmission mechanism 20 includes a connecting shaft 211, a driving wheel 212, a driven wheel 213, a transmission belt 214, and a fixed seat 215. The connecting shaft 211 is located on one side of the material frame 10 and rotatably connected to the material frame 10. The fixed seat 215 is located on the other side of the material frame 10 and disposed inside the material frame 10. The driving wheel 212 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 211, and the driven wheel 213 is rotatably disposed on the fixed seat 215. The transmission belt 214 is wound around the driving wheel 212 and the driven wheel 213. One end of the transmission shaft 22 is connected to one end of the connecting shaft 211 via a coupling. When the drive mechanism 40 drives the transmission shaft 22 to rotate, the transmission shaft 22 drives the connecting shaft 211 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 211 drives the driving wheel 212 to rotate. The driving wheel 212 and the driven wheel 213 cooperate to drive the transmission belt 214 to transport the sheet material.

[0036] Combined with appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understood that the transmission mechanism 20 also includes multiple support members 216, multiple connecting members 217, and multiple support shafts 218. The length direction of the support members 216 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 211. The multiple support members 216 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 211. Each support member 216 is connected to the material frame 10. The connecting shaft 211 is rotatably engaged with one end of the multiple support members 216. The fixed seat 215 is connected to the end of the support member 216 away from the connecting shaft 211. The length direction of the connecting member 217 is parallel to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 211. The multiple connecting members 217 are spaced apart along the axial direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 211. Each connecting member 217 is connected to each support member 216. The axial direction of the support shaft 218 is parallel to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 211. The multiple support shafts 218 are respectively connected to the ends of the multiple support members 216 away from the connecting shaft 211.

[0037] Optionally, there are two of each of the support member 216, the connector 217, and the support shaft 218. Of course, other quantities are also possible.

[0038] Combined with appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understood that the transmission mechanism 20 also includes a guide member 219. The length direction of the guide member 219 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft 211. The guide member 219 is connected to each connecting member 217. The guide member 219 is provided with a guide groove 2191, which is used to cooperate with the pins on the sheet metal to guide the sheet metal during movement.

[0039] Combined with appendix Figure 2It is understood that an opening 11 is provided on one side of the material frame 10, allowing the sheet material to enter and exit the material frame 10. A limiting plate 12 is provided on the other side of the material frame 10 opposite to the opening 11, and the limiting plate 12 is used to limit the sheet material. Specifically, after the transmission mechanism 20 completely conveys the sheet material from the external equipment into the material frame 10 through the opening 11 under the drive mechanism 40, the drive mechanism 40 separates from the transmission mechanism 20. At this time, due to inertia, the transmission belt 214 will continue to drive the sheet material forward by a preset displacement, thereby limiting the sheet material through the limiting plate 12 and preventing the sheet material from extending out from the side of the material frame 10 opposite to the opening 11.

[0040] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 It is understood that, optionally, the power receiver 23 is a columnar structure. Alternatively, the power receiver 23 can also be a block structure, etc.

[0041] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 Optionally, the actuating element 43 has a columnar structure. Alternatively, the actuating element 43 can also have a block-like structure, etc.

[0042] Combined with appendix Figure 8 and Figure 9 It is understood that both the power receiving component 23 and the actuating component 43 are cylindrical. The axis of the power receiving component 23 is perpendicular to the axis of the transmission shaft 22, and the axis of the actuating component 43 is parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the rotating component 42. When the material box 100 is in the first position, the axis of the transmission shaft 22 is parallel to the axis of the rotating component 42.

[0043] When the material box 100 is in the first position and the actuating member 43 is in the second position, the actuating member 43 actuates the power receiving member 23 under the drive of the drive mechanism 40, and the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 make perpendicular contact.

[0044] The above technical solution arranges the axis of the power receiver 23 perpendicular to the axis of the transmission shaft 22, and the axis of the actuating member 43 parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the rotating member 42. When the material box 100 is in the first position, the axis of the transmission shaft 22 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 42. Thus, when the rotation path of the actuating member 43 intersects with the power receiver 23, the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 are perpendicular to each other. In this way, when the actuating member 43 actuates the power receiver 23, the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 make perpendicular intersecting contact, making the contact mode between the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 more stable and effectively avoiding power transmission interruption or jamming.

[0045] Optionally, when the hopper 100 is in the first position, the axis of the rotating member 42 coincides with the axis of the transmission shaft 22.

[0046] Alternatively, both the power receiver 23 and the actuator 43 are cylindrical, with the axis of the actuator 43 perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotating member 42, and the axis of the power receiver 23 parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the transmission shaft 22.

[0047] Combined with appendix Figure 7 and Figure 9 It is understood that the side wall of the power receiving member 23 has a flat portion 231; when the drive mechanism 40 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, the flat portion 231 faces the rotation path direction of the actuating member 43, and the rotation path of the actuating member 43 intersects with the flat portion 231. Thus, when the actuating member 43 actuates the power receiving member 23, the actuating member 43 and the flat portion 231 form a surface contact, which significantly increases the contact area between the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23, making the power transmission more uniform and reducing the risk of vibration or slippage during the power transmission process.

[0048] Combined with appendix Figure 8 and Figure 9 It is understood that the power receiving component 23 protrudes radially from the drive shaft 22, the axis of the actuating component 43 is parallel to the axis of the rotating component 42, and the actuating component 43 protrudes from the rotating component 42 along the axis of the rotating component 42. The end of the actuating component 43 away from the rotating component 42 is provided with a guide portion 431, and the radial section of the guide portion 431 gradually narrows along the axis of the actuating component 43 in the direction away from the rotating component 42.

[0049] By providing a guide portion 431 at the end of the actuating member 43 away from the rotating member 42, and the radial section of the guide portion 431 gradually narrows along the axis of the actuating member 43 in the direction away from the rotating member 42, the guide portion 431 forms a structure similar to a guide cone surface. If the docking between the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 is not precise enough, when the actuating member 43 moves towards the second position along the preset direction F, the guide portion 431 first contacts the power receiving member 23, and gradually guides the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 to intersect and contact using its gradually narrowing shape characteristics. This effectively avoids the problem of power transmission jamming or interruption caused by the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 failing to dock accurately due to processing or assembly errors, and greatly improves the smoothness and reliability of power transmission.

[0050] Alternatively, the actuating member 43 protrudes radially from the rotating member 42, the axis of the power receiving member 23 is parallel to the axis of the transmission shaft 22, and the power receiving member 23 protrudes from the transmission shaft 22 along the axis of the transmission shaft 22. The end of the power receiving member 23 away from the transmission shaft 22 is provided with a guide portion 431, and the radial section of the guide portion 431 gradually narrows along the axis of the transmission shaft 22 in a direction away from the transmission shaft 22.

[0051] Combined with appendix Figure 6It is understood that the drive mechanism 40 includes a support base 411, a push-pull drive component 412, a moving block 413, and a rotary drive component 414. The support base 411 is mounted on the frame 30, the push-pull drive component 412 is mounted on the support base 411, the output end of the push-pull drive component 412 is connected to the moving block 413, the rotary drive component 414 is mounted on the moving block 413, and the output end of the rotary drive component 414 is connected to the rotating component 42.

[0052] The push-pull drive member 412 is used to drive the moving block 413, the rotating drive member 414, the rotating member 42 and the toggle member 43 to reciprocate along the preset direction F, so as to push the toggle member 43 to the second position along the preset direction F, or to exit the second position in the opposite direction to the preset direction F.

[0053] Specifically, when the push-pull drive member 412 drives the moving block 413 to reciprocate along the preset direction F, the moving block 413 sequentially drives the actuating member 43 to reciprocate along the preset direction F via the rotary drive member 414 and the rotating member 42, so that the actuating member 43 is in the second position or out of the second position. The rotary drive member 414 is used to drive the rotating member 42 and the actuating member 43 to rotate, so that the actuating member 43 intersects and contacts the power receiving member 23 and actuates the power receiving member 23.

[0054] The above technical solution, through the push-pull drive component 412 driving the moving block 413 to reciprocate along a preset direction F, can drive the rotary drive component 414, the rotating component 42, and the actuating component 43 to move synchronously, thereby precisely controlling the actuating component 43 to enter or exit the second position. When the drive mechanism 40 needs to transmit power to the transmission mechanism 20, the push-pull drive component 412 pushes the actuating component 43 to the second position, so that the rotation path of the actuating component 43 intersects with the power receiving component 23; when power transmission is not required, the push-pull drive component 412 can remove the actuating component 43 from this position, realizing the separation of the drive mechanism 40 and the transmission mechanism 20, avoiding interference between the two, and improving the flexibility of equipment operation. The rotary drive component 414 drives the rotating component 42 to rotate, and the rotating component 42 drives the actuating component 43 to rotate, which can stably output rotational power and ensure that the actuating component 43 rotates at a preset speed.

[0055] Optionally, the push-pull drive component 412 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder and a linear motor. The rotary drive component 414 may be, but is not limited to, a motor and a rotary cylinder.

[0056] Combined with appendix Figure 10 and Figure 11 It is understood that the drive mechanism 40 also includes a fixed plate 415, which is mounted on the support base 411. A guide rail 416 is mounted on the fixed plate 415. The length direction of the guide rail 416 is consistent with the preset direction F. The moving block 413 is slidably connected to the guide rail 416 along the preset direction F.

[0057] Combined with appendix Figure 11 The drive mechanism 40 also includes a transition floating block 417 and a connecting block 418. The output shaft of the push-pull drive member 412 is connected to the transition floating block 417. The transition floating block 417 and the connecting block 418 are in clearance fit. The connecting block 418 is connected to the moving block 413.

[0058] By connecting the output shaft of the push-pull drive 412 to the transition floating block 417, with the transition floating block 417 and the connecting block 418 in clearance fit, and the connecting block 418 connected to the moving block 413, the radial force on the output shaft of the push-pull drive 412 is effectively prevented, thus avoiding damage to the rotary drive 414 due to overload. In other words, if the transition floating block 417 is omitted, the output shaft of the push-pull drive 412 is directly connected to the connecting block 418. When the connecting block 418 deviates during its movement with the moving block 413, the output shaft of the push-pull drive 412, which is directly connected to the connecting block 418, will also deviate.

[0059] Combined with appendix Figure 10 The drive mechanism 40 also includes a bearing housing 419, which is connected to the movable block 413, and the rotating component 42 is movably connected to the bearing housing 419.

[0060] Combined with appendix Figure 7 and Figure 10 It is understood that the rotating component 42 includes a rotating shaft 421 and an adapter block 422. The axis of the rotating shaft 421 is aligned with the preset direction F. One end of the rotating shaft 421 is connected to the output end of the rotary drive component 414, and the other end of the rotating shaft 421 is connected to the adapter block 422. The rotating shaft 421 is movably mounted in the bearing seat 419. The actuating component 43 is connected to the side of the adapter block 422 away from the rotating component 42. The actuating component 43 is eccentrically positioned with respect to the rotating shaft 421. In other words, the axis of the actuating component 43 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 421, and the axis of the actuating component 43 is not collinear with the axis of the rotating shaft 421.

[0061] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 It is understood that the drive mechanism 40 also includes a first sensor 44, which is disposed on the support base 411 or the fixing plate 415. The first sensor 44 is used to detect the position of the actuating member 43 in the preset direction F. Specifically, the first sensor 44 is used to detect whether the actuating member 43 is in the second position.

[0062] Specifically, when the toggle member 43 moves toward the second position along the preset direction F under the drive of the push-pull drive member 412, when the first sensor 44 is triggered, it is confirmed that the toggle member 43 is in the second position. At this time, the push-pull drive member 412 stops driving the toggle member 43 to move.

[0063] The above technical solution detects the position of the actuating member 43 in the preset direction F through the first sensor 44, and avoids the actuating member 43 not being in place due to the positioning error of the push-pull drive member 412. This prevents the interruption or failure of power transmission and ensures stable and reliable power transmission between the drive mechanism 40 and the transmission mechanism 20.

[0064] Optionally, the first sensor 44 may be, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive proximity switch, an inductive proximity switch, and a magnetic sensor. For example, the first sensor 44 may be a photoelectric sensor, and a baffle 441 may be provided on the moving block 413. When the toggle member 43 moves toward the second position along a preset direction F under the drive of the push-pull drive member 412, the moving block 413 drives 441 to move synchronously. When the position of the baffle 441 corresponds to the position of the first sensor 44, the first sensor 44 will generate a trigger signal to confirm that the toggle member 43 has moved to the second position. At this time, the push-pull drive member 412 stops driving the toggle member 43.

[0065] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 It is understood that the drive mechanism 40 also includes a second sensor 45, which is disposed on the moving block 413 and is used to detect the position of the toggle member 43 on its own rotation path.

[0066] For example, the second sensor 45 is used to detect whether the toggle member 43 is in the third position on its own rotation path. Specifically, before the push-pull drive member 412 pushes the toggle member 43 to the second position, the rotation drive member 414 drives the toggle member 43 to rotate. If the second sensor 45 is triggered, it is confirmed that the toggle member 43 has rotated to the third position on its own rotation path, and the rotation drive member 414 stops driving the toggle member 43.

[0067] In the above technical solution, before the push-pull drive member 412 pushes the actuating member 43 to the second position, the second sensor 45 detects the position of the actuating member 43 on its own rotation path to obtain the initial position of the actuating member 43 on its own rotation path. This facilitates the determination of whether the actuating member 43 needs to be rotated and the required rotation angle during the subsequent alignment process between the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23, thus avoiding interference between the actuating member 43 and the power receiver 23 when the actuating member 43 moves to the second position. Optionally, the second sensor 45 can be, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive proximity switch, an inductive proximity switch, and a magnetic sensor. For example, the second sensor 45 is an inductive proximity switch, and a sensing plate 451 is provided on the adapter block 422. During the rotation of the rotary drive member 414 driving the toggle member 43 to rotate, when the position of the sensing plate 451 corresponds to the position of the second sensor 45, the second sensor 45 will generate a trigger signal to confirm that the toggle member 43 has rotated to the third position. At this time, the rotary drive member 414 stops driving the toggle member 43.

[0068] Combined with appendix Figure 7 and Figure 11 It is understood that the power receiver 23 protrudes radially from the drive shaft 22, and the drive mechanism 40 also includes two third sensors 46, which are vertically spaced on the support base 411. The third sensors 46 are used to detect the position of the power receiver 23 on its own rotation path. Specifically, the third sensors 46 are used to detect the position of the power receiver 23 on its own rotation path when the material box 100 is in the first position.

[0069] For example, when the material box 100 is in the first position, the drive shaft 22 is located between the two third sensors 46 in the vertical direction. When the material box 100 is in the first position, the two third sensors 46 cooperate to detect whether the power receiver 23 is in the fourth position on its own rotation path. The fourth position is the position where the axis of the power receiver 23 is parallel to the horizontal plane. Therefore, if the power receiver 23 is in the fourth position, that is, when the axis of the power receiver 23 is parallel to the horizontal plane, neither of the two third sensors 46 will detect the power receiver 23, that is, neither of the two third sensors 46 will be triggered. If the power receiver 23 deviates from the fourth position, that is, when the power receiver 23 is tilted upward or downward relative to the horizontal plane, it will be detected by the upper third sensor 46 or the lower third sensor 46, that is, the upper third sensor 46 or the lower third sensor 46 will be triggered to generate a trigger signal.

[0070] It should be noted that since the drive shaft 22 can rotate freely, the position of the power receiving unit 23 on its own rotation path is uncertain when the material box 100 is in the first position or after conveying different plates. For example, the power receiving unit 23 can be at any angle, such as the axis of the power receiving unit 23 being parallel to or perpendicular to the horizontal plane. For example, when the material box 100 is in the first position, the actuating member 43 is in the third position of its own rotation path, and the power receiving member 23 is in the fourth position of its own rotation path, the power receiving member 23 and the actuating member 43 are directly opposite each other in the preset direction F. At this time, if the actuating member 43 moves to the second position, the actuating member 43 will interfere with the power receiving member 23, making it impossible for the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 to make normal contact. This will cause the drive mechanism 40 to fail to transmit power to the transmission mechanism 20. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary to drive the actuating member 43 to rotate by a preset angle through the rotation drive member 414, so that the actuating member 43 deviates from the third position, thereby making the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 misaligned, such as the actuating member 43 rotating 90°. After the actuating member 43 deviates from the third position, when the actuating member 43 moves to the second position, the power receiving member 23 can be located on the rotation path of the actuating member 43, and the actuating member 43 will not interfere with the power receiving member 23. At this time, when the rotating drive member 414 drives the actuating member 43 to rotate, the actuating member 43 can make contact with the power receiving member 23 and actuate the power receiving member 23, so that the drive mechanism 40 can transmit power to the transmission mechanism 20 normally.

[0071] Understandably, when the actuating element 43 is in the third position of its rotation path, and the hopper 100 is transferred to the first position, if one of the third sensors 46 is triggered, it is confirmed that the power receiver 23 is not in the fourth position. At this time, the push-pull drive 412 can directly push the actuating element 43 to the second position, and then the rotation drive 414 drives the actuating element 43 to rotate, and the actuating element 43 actuates the power receiver 23. If neither of the two third sensors 46 is triggered, it is confirmed that the power receiver 23 is in the fourth position. At this time, the rotation drive 414 drives the actuating element 43 to rotate 90°, the push-pull drive 412 pushes the actuating element 43 to the second position again, and then the rotation drive 414 drives the actuating element 43 to rotate, and the actuating element 43 actuates the power receiver 23.

[0072] Optionally, the third sensor 46 may be, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive proximity switch, an inductive proximity switch, and a magnetic sensor.

[0073] The drive mechanism 40 also includes a barcode scanner 47, which is mounted on the moving block 413.

[0074] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3It is understood that there are multiple transmission mechanisms 20, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the material frame 10. The conveying device 200 also includes a lifting mechanism 50 and a bracket 60. The lifting mechanism 50 is mounted on the frame 30 and connected to the bracket 60. The bracket 60 is used to support the material box 100.

[0075] Specifically, multiple transmission mechanisms 20 are spaced apart along the height direction of the material frame 10 to divide the material frame 10 into multiple storage compartments 13 in the height direction. Each storage compartment 13 is used to store sheet material, so that the material box 100 can store multiple layers of sheet material. The multiple transmission mechanisms 20 are used to transport sheet material of different heights in the material frame 10 respectively, that is, the transmission mechanism 20 is used to transport the sheet material in the corresponding storage compartment 13. The lifting mechanism 50 drives the bracket 60 to move up and down, and the bracket 60 drives the material box 100 to move up and down. This allows the transmission mechanisms 20 at different heights to be detachably connected to the drive mechanism 40, enabling the drive mechanism 40 to transmit power to the transmission mechanisms 20 at different heights. This allows one drive mechanism 40 to transmit power to the transmission mechanisms 20 at different heights within the material frame 10, which helps save costs and space. At the same time, the boards at different heights within the material frame 10 can be transported separately through the corresponding transmission mechanisms 20, achieving orderly transport of multi-layer boards. This significantly improves the space utilization and board transport efficiency of the material frame 10, and is especially suitable for scenarios where multi-layer storage and batch transport of PCB and other board materials are required.

[0076] Optionally, the bracket 60 is also provided with a reinforcing block, which is used to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the bracket 60 and limit the swing of the hopper 100.

[0077] Combined with appendix Figure 12 It is understood that the conveying device 200 also includes an electrical control box 70 and an operation panel 80. The electrical control box 70 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40 and the lifting mechanism 50, and is used to control the operation of the drive mechanism 40 and the lifting mechanism 50. Specifically, the push-pull drive component 412 and the rotary drive component 414 are electrically connected to the electrical control box 70.

[0078] Combined with appendix Figure 1 It is understood that the conveying device 200 also includes a moving mechanism 300, with the frame 30 mounted on the moving mechanism 300. The moving mechanism 300 is used to move the entire conveying device 200 and the hopper 100 to move them between different operating areas. The moving mechanism 300 may be, but is not limited to, wheeled mobile robots such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

[0079] Combined with appendix Figure 3 and Figure 12It is understandable that the moving mechanism 300 is equipped with a fourth sensor 310, which is used to detect the sheet metal.

[0080] Please see Figure 1 This application also provides a material distribution device, which includes a material box 100 and a conveying device 200 of any of the above embodiments. The material box 100 is placed on the frame 30 and is used to hold sheet metal.

[0081] The material distribution equipment provided in this application adopts the aforementioned conveying device 200, thereby having all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned conveying device 200.

[0082] Optionally, multiple material bins 100 are provided, and multiple material bins 100 are placed sequentially on the frame 30.

[0083] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and appendix Figure 7 For example, the external equipment is a drilling rig, and the material delivery process of the material delivery equipment is as follows: 1. Place the material bin 100 in the first position of the bracket 60; 2. The moving mechanism 300 moves the conveying device 200 carrying the material box 100 to the material receiving and discharging position of the drilling rig.

[0084] 3. The drive mechanism 40 controls the actuating member 43 so that when the push-pull drive member 412 pushes the actuating member 43 to the second position, the power receiving member 23 is located on the rotation path of the actuating member 43, and the actuating member 43 and the power receiving member 23 do not interfere with each other.

[0085] 4. When collecting the board, the drilling rig transports the board towards the storage cavity of the material box 100. When the board comes into contact with the transmission belt 214, the fourth sensor 310 detects the board. At this time, the push-pull drive 412 pushes the actuating member 43 to the second position, and the rotation drive 414 drives the actuating member 43 to rotate forward. The actuating member 43 actuates the power receiving member 23, realizing the transmission mechanism 40 to transmit power to the transmission mechanism 20, so that the transmission belt 214 runs forward. The transmission belt 214 transports the board from the drilling rig to the material box 10. When the board is completely inside the material box 10, the fourth sensor 310 can no longer detect the board. At this time, the rotation drive 414 stops driving the actuating member 43, and the push-pull drive 412 removes the actuating member 43 from the second position. In this way, the board is transferred from the drilling rig to the material box 100.

[0086] 5. When the board is placed, the push-pull drive 412 pushes the actuating member 43 to the second position, and the rotation drive 414 drives the actuating member 43 to rotate in the opposite direction. The actuating member 43 actuates the power receiving member 23, so that the drive mechanism 40 transmits power to the transmission mechanism 20, causing the transmission belt 214 to rotate in the opposite direction. The transmission belt 214 transports the board in the material frame 10 to the drilling machine. During the process of transporting the board to the drilling machine, the fourth sensor 310 detects the board. When the board is completely removed from the material frame 10, the fourth sensor 310 can no longer detect the board. At this time, the rotation drive 414 stops driving the actuating member 43, and the push-pull drive 412 removes the actuating member 43 from the second position. In this way, the board is transferred from the material box 100 to the drilling machine.

[0087] This application also provides a processing device, which includes a processing machine and a material delivery device of any of the above embodiments, wherein the processing machine and the material delivery device are capable of exchanging sheet metal.

[0088] The processing equipment provided in this application has all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned conveying device 200 because the material distribution equipment adopts the aforementioned conveying device 200.

[0089] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
