[0002] In actual production and processing, the workpieces in the carrier tray need to be flipped before processing. Currently, two robotic arms are usually used in cooperation to achieve workpiece flipping. One robotic arm picks up one side of the workpiece from the carrier tray and moves it to the flipping connection position, making the product vertical. Then, the other robotic arm picks up the other side of the workpiece and places it back into the carrier tray, thus achieving workpiece flipping. However, the above method of flipping workpieces has the problems of complex structure and high equipment cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose a positioning and flipping mechanism to achieve workpiece flipping while reducing equipment costs.

A robotic arm is provided corresponding to the support platform and the positioning component. The robotic arm is configured to pick up the front side of the workpiece from the support platform and place it on the positioning platform. The robotic arm is also configured to pass through the notch to pick up the back side of the workpiece and remove the workpiece from the positioning platform.

[0005] In some embodiments, the positioning platform includes a positioning plate and a positioning element. The positioning plate has a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side connected end to end. The first side is disposed opposite to the third side, and the second side is disposed opposite to the fourth side. The first side is closer to the support platform relative to the third side, and the second side is closer to the support platform relative to the fourth side. The positioning element includes a first side and a second side disposed on the positioning plate. The first side is disposed adjacent to the first side, and the second side is disposed adjacent to the second side. The first side and the second side are connected. The notch is recessed from the second side toward the fourth side and is disposed adjacent to the second side.

[0006] In some embodiments, the positioning platform further includes a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first sensor is disposed on the positioning plate and on the side of the first side away from the second side, and the second sensor is disposed on the positioning plate and on the side of the notch away from the second side.

[0007] In some embodiments, the positioning platform further includes a first stop and a second stop, the first stop being disposed on the positioning plate and on the side of the first sensor opposite to the first side, and the second stop being disposed on the positioning plate and on the side of the second sensor opposite to the notch.

[0008] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly further includes a gantry, an extension, and a mounting component. The gantry is positioned across the top of the support platform. One end of the extension is connected to the gantry, one end of the mounting component is connected to the other end of the extension, the other end of the mounting component is inclined relative to the support platform, and the positioning platform is located at the other end of the mounting component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting member includes a connecting portion, a lifting portion, and a mounting portion. The connecting portion is disposed at the other end of the extension member. The lifting portion is connected to the connecting portion and extends obliquely away from the support platform. The mounting portion is connected to the lifting portion and extends obliquely toward the support platform. The positioning platform is disposed at the mounting portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the other end of the extension member is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the connecting part is provided with a plurality of connecting holes. The connecting part and the extension member are adjustablely connected through any one of the connecting holes and any one of the mounting holes.

[0011] In some embodiments, the positioning and flipping mechanism further includes a temporary storage platform disposed above the support platform and on one side of the positioning platform, the temporary storage platform being configured to temporarily store the abnormal workpiece.

[0012] In some embodiments, the temporary storage platform includes a temporary storage plate, a first detector, and a second detector. The temporary storage plate is configured to temporarily store abnormal workpieces. The first detector and the second detector are both disposed on the temporary storage plate and are configured to detect the workpiece from one of its two sides.

[0013] In some embodiments, the robotic arm includes a connecting arm, an assembly plate, a first mounting base, a second mounting base, a first suction nozzle, a second suction nozzle, and a detector.

[0014] In actual use, the aforementioned positioning and flipping mechanism places the workpiece carrier plate on the support platform with the workpiece facing upwards. The robot arm picks up the workpiece from the carrier plate and places it on the positioning platform. The workpiece is positioned on the positioning platform under its own weight. After the workpiece is placed on the positioning platform, the notch in the positioning platform exposes the reverse side of the workpiece. The robot arm passes through the notch to pick up the reverse side of the workpiece and first moves the workpiece away from the positioning platform in a direction perpendicular to the positioning platform, so that the workpiece is separated from the positioning platform. The robot arm then moves the workpiece horizontally out of the positioning platform through the notch. After the robot arm moves the workpiece out of the positioning platform, it places the workpiece on the carrier plate, so that the reverse side of the workpiece faces upwards, thus realizing the flipping of the workpiece.

[0015] The positioning and flipping mechanism of this application realizes the flipping of the workpiece through the coordinated cooperation of the support platform, positioning component and robot. The positioning and flipping mechanism has a simple structure and good stability, which helps to reduce equipment costs. Since the positioning platform is set at an inclination, the workpiece can be positioned on the positioning platform by its own gravity, and the positioning accuracy of the workpiece is high. In addition, since the positioning and flipping mechanism has a simple structure, it can be easily modified according to the structure of different workpieces, and its modification cost is low. It is suitable for positioning and flipping different workpieces. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a positioning and flipping mechanism 100. The positioning and flipping mechanism 100 is used to flip a workpiece 300 and also to position the workpiece 300, which has a front and a back side arranged opposite to each other. The positioning and flipping mechanism 100 includes a support platform 10, a positioning component 20, and a robotic arm 30. It is understood that in other embodiments, the positioning and flipping mechanism 100 may also include a cabinet or other structure, with the support platform 10, positioning component 20, robotic arm 30, etc., all mounted on the cabinet. The cabinet may also contain a power supply, air supply, controller, etc. This application does not specifically limit this aspect; specific limitations can be made according to actual circumstances.

[0025] The support platform 10 is configured to support workpieces 300. Workpieces 300 are placed in a carrier tray 200, which is placed on the support platform 10. The carrier tray 200 typically holds multiple workpieces 300, with the front of the workpieces 300 facing upwards. In this embodiment, ten workpieces 300 are placed in the carrier tray 200. It is understood that in other embodiments, more or fewer workpieces 300 may be placed in the carrier tray 200; or, the workpieces 300 may be placed directly on the support platform 10; or, the reverse side of the workpieces 300 may face upwards. This application does not specifically limit these embodiments; the specific limitation can be made according to the actual situation.

[0026] Please refer to the above. Figure 2 The positioning component 20 is mounted above the support platform 10. The positioning component 20 includes a positioning platform 21, which is tilted relative to the support platform 10 to position the workpiece 300. The positioning platform 21 has a notch 2111, configured to expose the opposite side of the workpiece 300 facing the positioning platform 21. The tilted positioning platform 21 can also be understood as tilted relative to the direction of gravity, allowing the workpiece 300 to be positioned on the positioning platform 21 under its own weight. This saves on cylinders and other drive structures, reduces equipment costs, and provides a simple, convenient, and highly stable positioning method for the workpiece 300.

[0027] The robotic arm 30 is correspondingly arranged with the support platform 10 and the positioning component 20, meaning that the robotic arm 30 can move at least between the support platform 10 and the positioning component 20. The robotic arm 30 is configured to pick up the front side of the workpiece 300 from the support platform 10 and place it on the positioning platform 21. The robotic arm 30 is also configured to pass through the notch slot 2111 to pick up the back side of the workpiece 300 and remove the workpiece 300 from the positioning platform 21. Understandably, when the carrier 200 holding the workpiece 300 is placed on the support platform 10, the front side of the workpiece 300 is facing upwards. Through the coordinated operation of the robotic arm 30 and the positioning component 20, the back side of the workpiece 300 is made to face upwards, thereby achieving the flipping of the workpiece 300.

[0028] In actual use, the positioning and flipping mechanism 100 of this embodiment places the carrier tray 200 carrying the workpiece 300 on the support platform 10, with the front of the workpiece 300 facing upwards. The robot arm 30 picks up the front of the workpiece 300 from the carrier tray 200 on the support platform 10 and places it on the positioning platform 21. The workpiece 300 is positioned on the positioning platform 21 under its own weight. After the workpiece 300 is placed on the positioning platform 21, the notch 2111 of the positioning platform 21 exposes the back of the workpiece 300, and the robot arm 30 passes through... The notch 2111 picks up the reverse side of workpiece 300 and first moves workpiece 300 away from positioning platform 21 in a direction perpendicular to positioning platform 21, for example, moving it 5cm or other distance, so that workpiece 300 is separated from positioning platform 21. Then, the robot arm 30 moves workpiece 300 out of positioning platform 21 through notch 2111. After the robot arm 300 moves workpiece 300 out of positioning platform 21, it places workpiece 300 on carrier plate 200, so that the reverse side of workpiece 300 faces upward, realizing the flipping of workpiece 300. Here, translation can be understood as along a direction parallel to positioning platform 21, or along a horizontal direction, which can be defined according to the actual situation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 20 further includes a gantry 22, an extension 23, and a mounting member 24. The gantry 22 is generally U-shaped and spans across the top of the support platform 10. One end of the extension 23 is connected to the gantry 22, and the other end extends away from the gantry 22. One end of the mounting member 24 is connected to the other end of the extension 23, and the other end of the mounting member 24 is inclined relative to the support platform 10. The positioning platform 21 is located at the other end of the mounting member 24. The gantry 22, extension 23, and mounting member 24 can be made of aluminum alloy. Thus, by configuring the gantry 22, extension 23, and mounting member 24, the positioning platform 21 is positioned above the support platform 10, and the mounting member 24 allows the positioning platform 21 to be inclined, making the inclination of the positioning platform 21 simple and convenient.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mounting member 24 includes a connecting portion 241, a tilting portion 242, and a mounting portion 243. The connecting portion 241 is disposed at the other end of the extension member 23. The tilting portion 242 is connected to the connecting portion 241 and extends inclinedly away from the support platform 10. The mounting portion 243 is connected to the tilting portion 242 and extends inclinedly towards the support platform 10. The positioning platform 21 is disposed on the mounting portion 243. Thus, by setting the mounting member 24 with the above-described specific structure, the positioning platform 21 can be tilted simply by placing it on the mounting portion 243. The tilting method of the positioning platform 21 is simple and convenient. In addition, by making the tilting portion 242 extend inclined away from the support platform 10, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the mounting member 24, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the mounting member 24.

[0031] In some embodiments, the other end of the extension member 23 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 231, which are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the extension member 23. The connecting part 241 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 244, which are arranged in a matrix. The connecting part 241 and the extension member 23 are adjustablely connected through any one of the connecting holes 244 and any one of the mounting holes 231. Thus, by providing the aforementioned mounting holes 231 and connecting holes 244, the mounting member 24 and the extension member 23 are adjustablely connected, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the mounting member 24 and the positioning platform 21, improves the applicability of the positioning assembly 20, and facilitates the modification of the positioning flipping mechanism 100.

[0032] In some embodiments, the positioning platform 21 includes a positioning plate 211 and a positioning member 212. The positioning plate 211 is disposed on the mounting portion 243 of the mounting member 24. The positioning plate 211 has a first side 2112, a second side 2113, a third side 2114, and a fourth side 2115 connected end to end. The first side 2112 and the third side 2114 are disposed opposite to each other, and the second side 2113 and the fourth side 2115 are disposed opposite to each other. The first side 2112 and the third side 2114 are both short sides, and the second side 2113 and the fourth side 2115 are both long sides. The first side 2112 is closer to the support platform 10 relative to the third side 2114, and the second side 2113 is closer to the support platform 10 relative to the fourth side 2115. The positioning element 212 includes a first side 2121 and a second side 2122 disposed on the positioning plate 211. The first side 2121 is disposed adjacent to the first side 2112, and the second side 2122 is disposed adjacent to the second side 2113. The first side 2121 and the second side 2122 are connected. A notch 2111 is recessed from the second side 2113 toward the fourth side 2115, and the notch 2111 is disposed adjacent to the second side 2122. The first side 2121 and the second side 2122 are perpendicularly connected. The positioning plate 211 and the positioning element 212 can be made of plastic steel. The tilt angle of the positioning plate 211 can be 125° or other angles. Thus, by setting the positioning plate 211 and limiting the first side 2112 to be closer to the support platform 10 relative to the third side 2114, and the second side 2113 to be closer to the support platform 10 relative to the fourth side 2115, when the robot 30 places the workpiece 300 on the positioning plate 211, the workpiece 300 slides toward the first side 2112 and the second side 2113 under its own gravity and abuts against the first side 2121 and the second side 2122, thereby achieving the positioning of the workpiece 300.

[0033] Understandably, in other embodiments, the first side 2121 and the second side 2122 may also be connected at an angle of 30°, 60°, 75°, 120°, 150°, etc., which can be specifically limited according to the specific structure of the workpiece. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0034] In some embodiments, the positioning platform 21 further includes a first sensor 213 and a second sensor 214. The first sensor 213 is disposed on the positioning plate 211 and on the side of the first side 2121 opposite to the second side 2122, and the second sensor 214 is disposed on the positioning plate 211 and on the side of the notch 2111 opposite to the second side 2122. Both the first sensor 213 and the second sensor 214 can be proximity switches. Thus, by setting the first sensor 213 and the second sensor 214, the workpiece 300 is detected, ensuring that the workpiece 300 is positioned correctly, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the workpiece 300.

[0035] In some embodiments, the positioning platform 21 further includes a first stop 215 and a second stop 216. The first stop 215 is disposed on the positioning plate 211 and on the side of the first sensor 213 opposite to the first side 2121, and the second stop 216 is disposed on the positioning plate 211 and on the side of the second sensor 214 opposite to the notch 2111. Thus, by providing the first stop 215 and the second stop 216, the contact area of ​​the positioning platform 21 against the workpiece 300 is increased, ensuring the positioning stability of the positioning platform 21 on the workpiece 300 and preventing the workpiece 300 from slipping off the positioning platform 21.

[0036] Please refer to the above. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the robotic arm 30 includes a connecting arm 31, an assembly plate 32, a first mounting base 33, a second mounting base 34, a first suction nozzle 35, a second suction nozzle 36, and a detector 37. The connecting arm 31 is configured to connect to a robotic arm (not shown), and the assembly plate 32 is connected to one end of the connecting arm 31. The first mounting base 33 and the second mounting base 34 are disposed opposite each other and respectively on both sides of the assembly plate 32. The first suction nozzle 35 is disposed on the first mounting base 33, and the second suction nozzle 36 is disposed on the second mounting base 34. There is at least one first suction nozzle 35 and at least one second suction nozzle 36. The detector 37 is disposed on at least one of the first mounting base 33 and the second mounting base 34. In this embodiment, there are four first suction nozzles 35, three second suction nozzles 36, and the detector 37 is disposed on the second mounting base 34. Thus, by setting the above-described specific structure of the robotic arm 30, the material handling efficiency of the robotic arm 30 is improved, while ensuring the material handling accuracy of the robotic arm 30.

[0037] In some embodiments, the positioning and flipping mechanism 100 further includes a temporary storage platform 40, which is disposed above the support platform 10 and on one side of the positioning platform 21. The temporary storage platform 40 is configured to temporarily store abnormal workpieces 300. The abnormal workpiece 300 can be a workpiece 300 that has been detected and identified as abnormal, triggering an alarm. Thus, by setting up the temporary storage platform 40, when an abnormal workpiece 300 is present, it can be placed on the temporary storage platform 40 by a robotic arm 30. Once the temporary storage platform 40 is full of workpieces 300, the abnormal workpieces 300 are then collected, preventing the presence of abnormal workpieces 300 from affecting the working efficiency of the positioning and flipping mechanism 100 and ensuring its efficient operation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the temporary storage platform 40 includes a temporary storage plate 41, a first detector 42, and a second detector 43. The temporary storage plate 41 is mounted on the gantry 22 and is configured to temporarily store abnormal workpieces 300. Both the first detector 42 and the second detector 43 are mounted on the temporary storage plate 41 and are configured to detect the workpiece 300 from one of its sides. In this embodiment, the first detector 42 is embedded in the bottom of the temporary storage plate 41 to detect from the bottom side of the workpiece 300, and the second detector 43 is mounted on one side of the temporary storage plate 41 to detect from one side of the workpiece 300. Thus, by setting the temporary storage platform 40 to the above-described specific structure, the workpiece 300 is supported and detected simultaneously, ensuring that the workpiece 300 is placed in the correct position and / or fully filled.

[0039] Understandably, in other embodiments, one of the first detector 42 and the second detector 43 may be used to detect whether the workpiece 300 is placed in place, and the other may be used to detect whether the temporary storage plate 41 is full of workpieces 300.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of temporary storage platforms 40 can be two sets, with the two sets of temporary storage platforms 40 arranged adjacent to each other. In this way, by setting two sets of temporary storage platforms 40, the number of workpieces 300 temporarily stored on the temporary storage platforms 40 can be increased.

[0041] The positioning and flipping mechanism 100 of this application achieves the flipping of the workpiece 300 through the coordinated operation of the support platform 10, the positioning component 20, and the robot arm 30. The positioning and flipping mechanism 100 has a simple structure, good stability, and helps to reduce equipment costs. Since the positioning platform 21 is tilted, the workpiece 300 can be positioned on the positioning platform 21 by its own gravity, resulting in high positioning accuracy. In addition, due to the simple structure of the positioning and flipping mechanism 100, it can be easily modified according to the structure of different workpieces 300, with low modification costs, making it suitable for positioning and flipping different workpieces 300. Furthermore, the positioning and flipping mechanism 100 of this application, through the coordinated operation of the temporary storage platform 40, avoids the impact of abnormal workpieces 300 on the working efficiency of the positioning and flipping mechanism 100, ensuring the working efficiency of the positioning and flipping mechanism 100.
