Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated sheet metal machinery technology, and in particular to a multifunctional sheet handling device and sheet handling production line. Background Technology

[0002] Glass sorting equipment is an automated device used in the glass processing process to sort, classify, store and transport glass. The most common glass sorting equipment is robotic glass sorting and warehouse glass sorting. Robotic glass sorting is generally expensive. For larger glass sheets, the robot has a large arm span and heavy load, which significantly increases the overall cost. At the same time, the robot's operating speed is slow and the efficiency is low. Warehouse glass sorting equipment occupies a large space and is also expensive. It also requires a complete set of loading and unloading equipment, which is less flexible and has a relatively complex structure and long modification cycle.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional wafer handling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0036] This utility model provides a multifunctional sheet handling device and sheet handling production line. The multifunctional sheet handling device includes a rotary unit, a material rack unit, and a flipping gripping unit. The rotary unit is fixedly installed, and the material rack unit is located around the rotation center of the rotary unit in the circumferential direction of the rotary unit. The material rack unit is used to place materials. The flipping gripping unit is drivenly connected to the rotary end of the rotary unit. The rotary unit is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit to rotate around the rotation center. The flipping gripping unit is used to grip or place materials. The flipping gripping unit can be flipped up or laid flat around the rotation center. The flipping gripping unit has a flipped up state and a flat state. When the flipping gripping unit grips materials from the material rack unit, the rotary unit rotates so that the flipping gripping unit is aligned with the material rack unit, and the flipping gripping unit switches from the flat state to the flipped up state and grips the materials on the material rack unit, and then returns to the flat state.

[0037] When the multi-functional sheet handling device is in operation, the rotary unit starts, driving the flipping gripping unit to rotate around the rotary center until it aligns with the material rack unit storing the target material. Then, the flipping gripping unit switches from its initial flat position to a flipped position, adjusting its posture to fit the material on the material rack unit. The flipped gripping unit, in its flipped state, grabs the material from the material rack unit. After grabbing, the flipping gripping unit switches back to its flat position, ready for subsequent material transfer. Through the directional rotation of the rotary unit, the flipping gripping unit can stably align with the material rack unit. Combined with the switching between flipped and flat positions, it grabs the material, ensuring that only the gripping end of the flipping gripping unit contacts the material during the grabbing process. This reduces the flow of material between multiple structures, improving material transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the simple structure reduces the complexity of the transfer process. The material rack unit is arranged circumferentially around the rotary center, and combined with the flipping gripping unit, it can achieve both grabbing and placement of materials without the need for two identical structures, directly reducing the number of sheet handling devices and system complexity. It also has a small footprint, reducing redundancy in the sheet handling device. Attached Figure Description

[0056] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] This embodiment provides a multifunctional wafer sorting device, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the multi-functional sheet handling device includes a rotary unit 1, a material rack unit 2, and a flipping gripping unit 4. The rotary unit 1 is fixedly mounted on the material rack unit 2. The material rack unit 2 is positioned around the rotation center of the rotary unit 1 in the circumferential direction of the rotary unit 1. The material rack unit 2 is used to place the material. The flipping gripping unit 4 is drivenly connected to the rotary end of the rotary unit 1. The rotary unit 1 is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to rotate around the rotation center. The flipping gripping unit 4 is used to grip or place materials. The flipping gripping unit 4 can be flipped up or laid flat around the rotation center. The flipping gripping unit 4 has a flipped up state and a flat state. When the flipping gripping unit 4 grips the material on the material rack unit 2, the rotary unit 1 rotates so that the flipping gripping unit 4 is aligned with the material rack unit 2, and the flipping gripping unit 4 switches from the flat state to the flipped up state and grips the material on the material rack unit 2, and then returns to the flat state.

[0058] When the multi-functional sheet handling device is in operation, the rotary unit 1 starts, driving the flipping gripping unit 4 to rotate around the rotary center until it is aligned with the material rack unit 2 where the target material is stored. Then, the flipping gripping unit 4 switches from the initial flat state to the flipped state, adjusting its posture to fit the material on the material rack unit 2. The flipping gripping unit 4 in the flipped state grabs the material on the material rack unit 2. After the grab is completed, the flipping gripping unit 4 switches from the flipped state back to the flat state, ready for subsequent material transfer. By directionally rotating the rotary unit 1, the flipping gripping unit 4 can be stably aligned with the material rack unit 2. Combined with the switching between flipped and flattened postures, it grips the material. During the gripping process, only the gripping end of the flipping gripping unit 4 contacts the material, reducing the flow of material between multiple structures, improving material transfer efficiency, and simplifying the structure, thus reducing the complexity of the transfer process. Furthermore, the material rack unit 2 is arranged circumferentially around the rotation center, and in conjunction with the flipping gripping unit 4, it can realize the gripping and placement of materials without the need for two identical structures, directly reducing the number of sheet handling devices and system complexity, and minimizing the footprint and redundancy of the sheet handling device. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the material is a glass plate. In other embodiments, the material is a plastic plate, film, or wood, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flipping gripping unit 4 includes a first support base 41, a flipping drive assembly 42, and a flipping gripping assembly 43. The first support base 41 is throttle-connected to the rotating end of the rotary unit 1. The flipping drive assembly 42 is disposed on the first support base 41. The flipping gripping assembly 43 is rotatably connected to the first support base 41. The output end of the flipping drive assembly 42 is connected to the flipping gripping assembly 43. The flipping drive assembly 42 is used to drive the flipping gripping assembly 43 to switch between a flipped-up state and a flat-down state around the rotation center.

[0060] The rotary unit 1 drives the flipping drive assembly 42 and the flipping gripping assembly 43 to rotate to the material rack unit 2 via the first support base 41. At this time, the flipping gripping assembly 43 is in a flat position. Then the flipping drive assembly 42 starts, and its output end drives the flipping gripping assembly 43 to flip upward around the rotation center until it switches to the flipped-up position. Then the flipping gripping assembly 43 grabs the material. Then the flipping drive assembly 42 starts in the opposite direction, driving the flipping gripping assembly 43 to rotate downward around the rotation center, switching from the flipped-up position back to the flat position, maintaining the stability of the material on the flipping gripping assembly 43. Then the rotary unit 1 drives the entire flipping gripping unit 4 and the grabbed material to rotate to the next position. The flipping drive component 42 drives the flipping gripping component 43 to switch between a flipped state and a flat state. The flipped state improves the adaptability of the gripping component 43's posture, enhancing the accuracy of material gripping. The flat state reduces the risk of material center of gravity shift during rotation and transfer, minimizing material shaking or falling, thus improving material stability. Furthermore, the coordinated structure of the flipping drive component 42 and the flipping gripping component 43 ensures consistent angles when switching between the two states, preventing material misalignment or gripping failure due to posture deviations, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the multi-functional sheet handling device. It should be noted that the flipping center is the connection point where the flipping gripping component 43 is rotatably connected to the first support base 41.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the multifunctional sheet handling device also includes a mobile conveying unit 3. The mobile conveying unit 3 includes a mobile conveying bracket 31 and a mobile drive component 32. The mobile conveying bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the rotary unit 1. The rotary unit 1 can drive the mobile conveying bracket 31 to rotate around the rotary center. The flipping gripping unit 4 is slidably connected to the mobile conveying bracket 31. The mobile drive component 32 is disposed on the mobile conveying bracket 31. The output end of the mobile drive component 32 is drivenly connected to the flipping gripping unit 4. The mobile drive component 32 is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the mobile conveying bracket 31, or the mobile drive component 32 is disposed on the flipping gripping unit 4. The output end of the mobile drive component 32 is drivenly connected to the mobile conveying bracket 31. The mobile drive component 32 is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the mobile conveying bracket 31. The above configuration transmits the power of the moving drive component 32 to the flipping gripping unit 4, providing a power basis for the movement of the flipping gripping unit 4 on the moving conveyor bracket 31. It allows adjustment of the moving distance of the flipping gripping component 43 according to the distance between the flipping gripping component 43 and the material rack unit 2, improving movement accuracy, reducing the moving distance during the gripping process, reducing wear on the mechanical structure, and extending the service life of the moving conveyor unit 3. It should be noted that the first support base 41 is slidably connected to the moving conveyor bracket 31 via a guide rail slider structure.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the moving drive unit 32 is disposed on the flipping gripping unit 4, and the output end of the moving drive unit 32 is connected to the moving conveying bracket 31. The moving drive unit 32 is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the moving conveying bracket 31. In other embodiments, the output end of the moving drive unit 32 is connected to the flipping gripping unit 4, and the moving drive unit 32 is configured to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the moving conveying bracket 31. No limitation is made here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the moving drive unit 32 is disposed on the first support base 41.

[0063] Optionally, the moving drive component 32 is disposed on the flipping gripping unit 4, and the moving conveying unit 3 further includes a moving transmission component. One end of the moving transmission component is fixedly connected to the moving conveying bracket 31, and the other end of the moving transmission component is connected to the output end of the moving drive component 32. The moving transmission component is configured to transmit the power of the moving drive component 32 to the moving conveying bracket 31 to drive the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the moving conveying bracket 31. The setting of the moving transmission component enables the flipping gripping unit 4 to reciprocate on the moving conveying bracket 31. At the same time, in conjunction with the moving drive component 32, the position of the flipping gripping unit 4 on the moving conveying bracket 31 can be adjusted according to the quantity of material on the material rack unit 2, thereby improving the reliability of the multi-functional sheet handling device.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the moving transmission assembly includes a meshing gear and a rack, with the rack fixedly connected to the moving conveying bracket 31 and the gear coaxially connected to the output end of the moving drive component 32. In other embodiments, the output end of the moving drive component 32 is connected to the moving conveying bracket 31 via a lead screw slide structure, etc. No limitation is made here. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the moving drive component 32 is a servo motor. Servo motors have high control precision and rapid dynamic response, which can improve the efficiency of glass transmission. In other embodiments, the moving drive component 32 is an electric cylinder structure or a lead screw transmission structure, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the flipping gripping assembly 43 includes a flipping body 431, a first flipping component 432, a synchronizing rod 433, a second flipping component 434, a first connecting rod 435, and a rubbing drive component 436. The flipping body 431 is rotatably connected to the first support base 41. The first flipping component 432 is fixedly connected to the flipping body 431. The synchronizing rod 433 passes through the first flipping component 432 and is rotatably connected to the first flipping component 432. The second flipping component 434 is disposed above the first flipping component 432, and the second flipping component 434 is oriented away from the first flipping component 432. A suction cup 437 is provided on the side wall of component 2. One end of the first connecting rod 435 is fixedly connected to the synchronizing rod 433. The other end of the first connecting rod 435 extends upward at an angle and is rotatably connected to the second flipping component 434. A rubbing drive component 436 is provided on the first flipping component 432. The output end of the rubbing drive component 436 is connected to the synchronizing rod 433 for transmission. When the first flipping component 432 is in the flipped state, the rubbing drive component 436 drives the first connecting rod 435 to rotate around the axis of the synchronizing rod 433, and drives the second flipping component 434 to move upward relative to the first flipping component 432.

[0066] When the first flipping component 432 is in the flipped state, the rubbing drive component 436 is activated, and its output end drives the synchronizing rod 433 to rotate around its own axis and transmits power to the synchronizing rod 433. The first connecting rod 435, which is fixed to the synchronizing rod 433, rotates synchronously. Since the other end of the first connecting rod 435 is rotatably connected to the second flipping component 434, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the second flipping component 434. The rotation of the first connecting rod 435 causes the second flipping component 434 to move upward relative to the first flipping component 432. At this time, the suction cup 437 on the second flipping component 434 can contact and adsorb the material. During this process, the movement of the second flipping component 434 relative to the first flipping component 432 is a combination of rotation and movement. This can be understood as the second flipping component 434 moving away from the first flipping component 432 at a certain angle. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the suction action of the suction cup 437, when adsorbing and grasping the glass, there is a tendency for the suction cup 437 and the glass to rub against each other, or the suction cup 437 rubs against and adsorbs the glass. Since glass is usually stacked in multiple pieces, there is an adsorption force between adjacent pieces. By using a rubbing and suction method to grasp the glass, it avoids grasping multiple pieces of glass simultaneously, which could cause glass not adsorbed by the suction cup 437 to fall during movement. This breaks the adsorption force between the stacked glass to achieve single-piece grasping. It is worth noting that the flipping center is the connection point where the flipping body 431 and the first support base 41 are rotatably connected.

[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the rubbing drive 436 is a cylinder, and a linkage rod is rotatably connected to the output end of the rubbing drive 436, with the linkage rod fixedly connected to the synchronizing rod 433. When the rubbing drive 436 is started, it drives the linkage rod to rotate around its output end, thereby driving the synchronizing rod 433, which is fixedly connected to the linkage rod, to rotate around the axis of the synchronizing rod 433. In other embodiments, the rubbing drive 436 is a rotary motor, with a first synchronizing gear coaxially connected to the output end of the rubbing drive 436, and a second synchronizing gear sleeved on the synchronizing rod 433. The first and second synchronizing gears mesh to drive the synchronizing rod 433 to rotate around its axis, and so on. No limitation is made here; any action that allows for the upward tilting movement between the second flipping member 434 and the first flipping member 432 is acceptable.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping gripping assembly 43 further includes a second link 438. Along the extending direction of the first flipping member 432, the second link 438 is spaced apart from the first link 435. One end of the second link 438 is rotatably connected to the first flipping member 432, and the other end extends obliquely upward and is rotatably connected to the second flipping member 434. By providing the second link 438 as an auxiliary structure with the same function as the first link 435, and forming a double-support structure with the first link 435, the forces between the first flipping member 432 and the second flipping member 434 can be balanced. This prevents excessive force on a single link from causing movement jamming or tilting, making the movement between the first flipping member 432 and the second flipping member 434 more stable, thereby reducing gripping deviation. Simultaneously, the two links can share the load, reducing frictional wear on individual links and connecting parts, and extending the service life of the flipping gripping assembly 43.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple first flipping components 432 are provided and arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the flipping main body 431. Synchronizing rods 433 simultaneously pass through multiple first flipping components 432 and are rotatably connected to the first flipping components 432 via first connecting rods 435. Correspondingly, multiple second flipping components 434 are provided. The flipping gripping unit 4 also includes a first transmission component 44, which is connected to the first support base 41 and located between two adjacent first flipping components 432. The first transmission component 44 can transport materials, and when the first flipping component 432 is in a flat position, the suction end of the suction cup 437 can be on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the first transmission component 44, allowing the suction cup 437 to pick up materials from the first transmission component 44. The placement of the first transmission component 44 between two adjacent first flipping components 432 enables accurate positioning of the glass. Precise positioning ensures that the suction position of the suction cup 437 perfectly matches the preset suction point on the glass, avoiding unstable or failed suction due to positional deviations.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping drive assembly 42 is a structure of a flipping cylinder and a flipping connecting rod, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first flipping member 432. In other embodiments, the flipping drive assembly 42 is a crank-slider structure, etc. There are no limitations here, as long as it enables the flipping gripping assembly 43 to flip around the rotation center.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotary unit 1 includes a rotary component 11, a support component 12, and a rotary drive component 13. A flipping gripping unit 4 is drivenly connected to the rotary component 11. The support component 12 is fixedly installed. The rotary drive component 13 is installed on the rotary component 11, and its output end is drivenly connected to the support component 12 to drive the rotary component 11 to rotate relative to the support component 12. Alternatively, the rotary drive component 13 is installed on the support component 12, and its output end is drivenly connected to the rotary component 11 to drive the rotary component 11 to rotate relative to the support component 12. The rotary drive component 13 provides power, causing the rotary component 11 to rotate about its rotation center relative to the support component 12. This causes the flipping gripping unit 4 connected to the rotary component 11 to rotate synchronously, aligning the flipping gripping unit 4 with the material rack unit 2 storing the target material, thus providing rotational power for the movement of the flipping gripping unit 4. Specifically, the flipping gripping unit 4 is connected to the rotary component 11 via a movable conveyor bracket 31.

[0072] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the movable conveying bracket 31 is threadedly connected to the rotating component 11. In other embodiments, the movable conveying bracket 31 is snap-fitted to the rotating component 11, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotary drive 13 is disposed on the rotary member 11, and the output end of the rotary drive 13 is drive-connected to the support member 12 to drive the rotary member 11 to rotate relative to the support member 12. In other embodiments, the rotary drive 13 is disposed on the support member 12, and the output end of the rotary drive 13 is drive-connected to the rotary member 11 to drive the rotary member 11 to rotate relative to the support member 12.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotary drive 13 is a geared motor. In other embodiments, the rotary drive 13 may be a rotary cylinder, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0075] More specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the output end of the rotary drive 13 is coaxially connected to a transmission gear 14, and a rotary support 15 is provided on the support 12. The external gears of the transmission gear 14 and the rotary support 15 mesh to drive the rotation between the rotary component 11 and the support 12 through the meshing action of the gears. In other embodiments, the output end of the rotary drive 13 is connected to the support 12 through a hollow rotating platform. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support 12 is a curved support frame with a straight rod on one side, and multiple reinforcing rods are provided in the curved support frame, and the rotary component 11 is a rotary plate. In other embodiments, the support 12 is a support plate, and the rotary component 11 is a rotary frame, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the material rack unit 2 includes multiple material racks 21, which are spaced apart around the rotation center in the circumferential direction of the rotating unit 1. This arrangement ensures that the moving conveyor unit 3 rotating around the rotation center is at the same distance from each material rack 21, avoiding efficiency fluctuations caused by distance differences and facilitating standardized operations. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material rack unit 2 includes five material racks 21. In other embodiments, the material rack unit 2 may include two, three, four, or six material racks 21, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, five material racks 21 are evenly spaced around the rotation center in the circumferential direction of the rotating unit 1. In other embodiments, the five material racks 21 are divided into two groups, one group consisting of two material racks 21 and the other group consisting of three material racks 21, with the spacing between the two groups of material racks 21 being twice the spacing between two adjacent material racks 21 in each group, etc. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0078] Optionally, the material rack unit 2 includes multiple material racks 21, which are spaced apart around the rotation center in the circumferential direction of the rotary unit 1. The multi-functional sheet handling device also includes a manufacturing control unit, which is communicatively connected to the rotary unit 1 and the flipping gripping unit 4. The manufacturing control unit can control the rotary unit 1 to rotate to the corresponding material rack 21 to classify the materials. Specifically, the moving drive component 32 is communicatively connected to the manufacturing control unit. It should be noted that the manufacturing control unit is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

[0079] Specifically, the manufacturing control unit includes a controller and a material identification component. The material identification component is communicatively connected to the controller. The rotary drive 13, the moving drive 32, the flipping drive assembly 42, and the rubbing drive 436 are all electrically connected to the controller. The material identification component is used to identify material information. The controller controls the rotary drive 13 to move the moving conveyor support 31 and the flipping gripping assembly 43 to align with the corresponding material rack 21. The material identification component collects relevant material information and transmits this information to the controller. After receiving the information from the material identification component, the controller issues a control command to drive the rotary drive 13, ultimately ensuring that the moving conveyor unit 3 is precisely aligned with the material rack 21 corresponding to the material, thereby achieving the orderly placement or gripping of the material. Specifically, the controller and material identification component are existing structures and are not limited here.

[0080] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, each shelf 21 can hold glass of different sizes, and each piece of glass has a QR code. The material identification device can recognize the QR code on the glass and place the glass into the corresponding shelf 21. In other embodiments, each shelf 21 can hold glass of the same size, etc. No limitations are imposed here.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the material rack includes a main body 211 and an L-shaped frame 212. The main body 211 is fixedly installed, and the L-shaped frame 212 is rotatably connected to the main body 211. The L-shaped frame 212 is used to place materials, and its side plate forms an angle with the horizontal plane. This angle makes the glass more stable within the L-shaped frame 212, preventing displacement or falling when the material rack 21 is subjected to external force. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the angle α between the side plate of the L-shaped frame 212 and the horizontal plane is 95.5°. In other embodiments, the angle α is 93°, 94°, 96°, or 98°, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0082] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the multifunctional sheet handling device also includes a docking unit 5. The docking unit 5 includes a docking body 51, a first transmission component 52, a second transmission component 53, and a lifting component. The docking body 51 is fixedly installed. The first transmission component 52 includes a second transmission element 521 and a first position detection element. The second transmission element 521 can receive materials and convey materials in the left and right directions. The first position detection element is used to detect the position of the material on the second transmission element 521. When the first position detection element detects the material, the second transmission element 521 stops conveying the material. The second transmission component 53 includes a third transmission element 531 and a second position detection element 532. The second position detection component and the third transmission component 531 are capable of receiving and conveying materials in the front-to-back direction. The second position detection component is used to detect the position of the material on the third transmission component 531. When the second position detection component detects the material, the third transmission component 531 stops conveying the material. The lifting component is set on the docking body 51. The output end of the lifting component is fixedly connected to the third transmission component 531. The lifting component is used to raise or lower the third transmission component 531 so that the second transmission component 521 and the third transmission component 531 can convey materials respectively to ensure the position of the material. The flipping gripping unit 4 can grip the material conveyed from the second transmission component 521 or the third transmission component 531.

[0083] When the lifting assembly lowers the third transmission member 531 and the second transmission member 521 transmits the glass, the glass is placed on the second transmission member 521. The second transmission member 521 starts and moves the glass in the left-right direction. When the first position detection member detects the glass, the second transmission member 521 stops operating, and the material precisely stops at the position of the second transmission member 521. Then, the lifting assembly raises the third transmission member 531, and the glass detaches from the second transmission member 521. When the third transmission member 531 transmits the glass, it starts and moves the glass in the front-back direction. When the second position detection member detects the glass, the third transmission member 531 stops operating, and the material precisely stops at the position of the third transmission member 531. Through the above actions, the glass is positioned consistently in the docking unit 5, ensuring consistency in subsequent processing. It should be noted that the second transmission member 521 is a transmission roller, and the third transmission member 531 is a transmission belt. In other embodiments, the second transmission member 521 is a transmission net, and the third transmission member 531 is a transmission wheel, etc. No limitation is made here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly is a conventional structure. Without going into details here, it is sufficient to raise or lower the third transmission component 531.

[0084] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the glass is first placed on the second transmission member 521. In other embodiments, the glass is first placed on the third transmission member 531. No limitation is made here. The ability to receive material from both directions improves the applicability of the docking unit 5.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material identification component is disposed on the docking body 51, and the identification end of the material identification component faces the second transmission component 521.

[0086] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the third transmission component 531 and the first transmission component 44 have the same transmission direction, which is the front-to-back direction. The third transmission component 531 can dock with the first transmission component 44 so that the material can be transported between the third transmission component 531 and the first transmission component 44.

[0087] Optionally, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the docking unit 5 also includes a partition assembly 55, which includes a connecting rod 551, a partition member 552, and a partition drive member 553. The connecting rod 551 extends in the left-right direction and is rotatably connected to the third transmission member 531 along the direction of material movement on the third transmission member 531. The connecting rod 551 is located downstream of the second position detection member. The partition member 552 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 551. The partition drive member 553 is located on the docking body 51. The output end of the partition drive member 553 is connected to the connecting rod 551 in a transmission manner. The partition drive member 553 can drive the connecting rod 551 to rotate around its axis so that the partition member 552 rotates and blocks the movement of material on the third transmission member 531.

[0088] When the glass is transferred on the third transmission component 531, the partition drive component 553 is activated, outputting power and transmitting it to the connecting rod 551. Under the action of power, the connecting rod 551 begins to rotate around its own axis. The partition component 552, which is fixed to the connecting rod 551, rotates accordingly, ultimately forming a blocking structure that prevents the glass from continuing to move on the second transmission component 521. The partition assembly 55 provides a mechanical limit on the movement of the glass on the third transmission component 531, preventing inaccurate glass positioning or the glass falling off the third transmission component 531 due to insensitivity of the second position detection component or large glass inertia. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0089] The following is combined Figures 1-9 Describe the unloading process of the multi-functional wafer handling device:

[0090] Taking glass being unloaded from the left or right side of docking unit 5 as an example, the material identification component detects the QR code on the glass and identifies its information. Then, the MES system controls the lifting assembly to lower the third transmission component 531, while the second transmission component 521 transports the glass separately. The glass is placed on the second transmission component 521, which then starts moving the glass in a left-right direction. When the first position detection component detects the glass, the second transmission component 521 stops, and the glass precisely stops at the position of the second transmission component 521. Afterward, the lifting assembly raises the third transmission component 531, and the glass detaches from the second transmission component 521. The first transmission component 521 and the third transmission component 531 transport the glass. The third transmission component 531 starts and moves the glass in the front-to-back direction. When the second position detection component detects the glass, the third transmission component 531 stops, achieving glass positioning. The glass precisely stops at the position of the third transmission component 531. Then, the third transmission component 531 starts again, conveying the glass to the first transmission component 44. At this time, the first flipping component 432 is in a flat position. Then, the MES system controls the rubbing drive component 436 to start, and its output end drives the synchronous rod 433 to rotate around its own axis, transmitting power to the synchronous rod. 433, the first link 435, fixed to the synchronizing rod 433, rotates synchronously. Since the rotational motion of the first link 435 and the second link 438 is converted into the linear motion of the second flipping member 434, the rotation of the first link 435 and the second link 438 causes the second flipping member 434 to move upward relative to the first flipping member 432. At this time, the suction cup 437 on the second flipping member 434 contacts and adsorbs the glass. Then, the rotary drive 13 rotates. Based on the detection result of the glass identification component and the scheduling instructions of the MES system, the transmission gear 14 and the rotary support 15 mesh... The transmission drives the mobile conveyor bracket 31 to rotate to the corresponding material rack 21. Then the mobile drive component 32 is activated, which drives the first support base 41, the flip drive component 42 and the flip gripping component 43 to move on the mobile conveyor bracket 31 toward the material rack 21. The movement distance of the first support base 41 on the mobile conveyor bracket 31 is automatically adjusted according to the number of glass on the material rack 21. Then the flip cylinder is activated, which drives the flip body 431 to flip upward around the rotation center through the flip linkage until it switches to the flipped state. Then the suction cup 437 drives the gripped glass to be placed on the corresponding material rack 21.

[0091] The glass can also be unloaded from the rear of the docking unit 5. In this case, the third transmission component 531 first transmits the glass, and then the second transmission component 521 transmits the glass.

[0092] This embodiment also provides a wafer handling production line, which includes a transfer device and a multi-functional wafer handling device. The transfer device is capable of gripping materials. By applying the multi-functional wafer handling device, the flow of materials between multiple structures is reduced, the material transfer efficiency is improved, the complexity of the material transfer process is reduced, the number of wafer handling devices and system complexity are reduced, and the redundancy of the wafer handling devices is reduced.
