Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical detection technology, and in particular relates to a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism and a detection mechanism containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of electronic products such as displays, optical inspection is required to ensure product quality. Typically, a robotic arm places the workpiece on a corresponding tray, which then transports the workpiece to the bottom of the inspection equipment. After inspection, the tray returns to the robotic arm, which then picks up the inspected workpiece and moves it to another area before inspecting the next workpiece. Because the back-and-forth transport of workpieces by the tray is time-consuming, the robotic arm and inspection equipment often have to wait for the tray to deliver the workpiece before proceeding to the next step, affecting overall inspection efficiency and slowing down the process. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism and a detection mechanism including it, which can improve the efficiency of workpiece conveying and optical detection.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism, comprising several parallel and spaced frames, with several feeding components arranged between adjacent frames. Each feeding component includes at least two carrier trays for carrying workpieces. Each carrier tray is connected to a vertical drive component on one side, which is used to adjust the height of the carrier tray. A horizontal drive component is provided on the side of the frame, which is used to adjust the horizontal position of the vertical drive component, so that the carrier tray slides horizontally along the length of the frame.

[0005] Optionally, the carrier disk includes an inner carrier disk and an outer carrier disk, and the lateral drive assembly and the vertical drive assembly are used to exchange the spatial positions of the inner and outer carrier disks.

[0006] Optionally, in the same feeding assembly, each of the vertical drive assemblies is connected to a horizontal drive assembly on a different frame.

[0007] Optionally, the vertical drive assembly includes a frame, a vertical track is provided within the frame, a vertical slider is slidably disposed on the vertical track, and the vertical slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the carrier plate.

[0008] Optionally, guide rails are also provided on both sides of the frame, and guide blocks are slidably connected on the guide rails, with the guide blocks being fixedly connected to the side wall of the carrier plate.

[0009] Optionally, the lateral drive assembly includes a lateral track and a lateral slider that can move along the lateral track, the lateral slider being fixedly connected to the sidewall of the frame.

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of connecting plates are provided on one side of the frame, the connecting plates being located between the frame and the lateral drive assembly, for fixing the lateral drive assembly to the side of the frame.

[0011] Optionally, there are three frames, with a lateral drive assembly installed inside the frame located at the edge, and lateral drive assemblies installed on both sides of the frame located in the middle.

[0012] The inspection mechanism includes a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism and a camera inspection component, which is located above the frame and is used to perform optical inspection on the workpiece on the outer carrier plate.

[0013] Optionally, it may include at least two sets of alternating feeding mechanisms arranged side by side.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up horizontal and vertical drive components, the height and horizontal position of the carrier can be adjusted sequentially, thereby quickly exchanging the spatial positions of the inner and outer carriers. While the robot arm is picking up the upstream workpiece and placing it on the inner carrier, the optical inspection equipment simultaneously inspects the workpiece on the outer carrier. The two steps are performed synchronously, greatly improving the inspection efficiency.

[0015] 2. By connecting the vertical drive components in the same group to the horizontal drive components on different frames, interference and collisions between the vertical drive components during horizontal movement are avoided, thus improving the ease of use and flexibility of the carrier.

[0021] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-5This embodiment provides a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism, specifically including several parallel and spaced frames 1, and several feeding components 2 between two adjacent frames 1. The feeding component 2 includes at least two carrier trays 201 for carrying workpieces. Each carrier tray 201 is connected to a vertical drive component 202 on one side. The vertical drive component 202 is used to adjust the height of the carrier tray 201. A horizontal drive component 3 is provided on the side of the frame 1. The horizontal drive component 3 is used to adjust the horizontal position of the vertical drive component 202 so that the carrier tray 201 slides horizontally along the length direction of the frame 1.

[0022] The frame 1 is made of steel. Two loading components 2 are located between two adjacent frames 1, at opposite ends of the frame 1. Both the horizontal drive component 3 and the vertical drive component 202 use motors as power sources to achieve linear motion. The carrier trays 201 can move up and down. When there is a certain height difference between the two carrier trays 201, they can be moved horizontally towards each other along the length of the frame 1 to stagger them. After staggering, the height can be readjusted to exchange the spatial positions of the two carrier trays 201.

[0023] Example 2 This embodiment provides a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism, which differs from the first embodiment in that the carrier tray 201 includes an inner carrier tray and an outer carrier tray, and the lateral drive component 3 and the vertical drive component 202 are used to exchange the spatial positions of the inner carrier tray and the outer carrier tray.

[0024] In the same feeding component 2, each vertical drive component 202 is connected to a horizontal drive component 3 on a different frame 1.

[0025] The vertical drive assembly 202 includes a frame 2021, a vertical track 2022 is provided inside the frame 2021, a vertical slider 2023 is slidably provided on the vertical track 2022, and the vertical slider 2023 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the carrier plate 201.

[0026] Guide rails 2024 are also provided on both sides of the frame 2021. Guide blocks 2025 are slidably connected to the guide rails 2024 and are fixedly connected to the side wall of the carrier plate 201.

[0027] The lateral drive assembly 3 includes a lateral track 301 and a lateral slider 302 that can move along the lateral track 301. The lateral slider 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 2021.

[0028] A number of connecting plates 4 are provided on one side of the frame 1. The connecting plates 4 are located between the frame 1 and the transverse drive assembly 3 and are used to fix the transverse drive assembly 3 on the side of the frame 1.

[0029] There are three frames 1. The frame 1 located at the edge has a lateral drive assembly 3 installed on the inner side, and the frame 1 located in the middle has a lateral drive assembly 3 installed on both sides.

[0030] The two feeding components 2 between adjacent frames 1 are independently applied to two production lines. The number of production lines that can be opened can be selected as needed. The feeding components 2 between different frames 1 can also be opened or closed as needed, improving the flexibility and convenience of the equipment.

[0031] Several connection holes are evenly provided on the connecting plate 4. Corresponding connection holes are provided on the side of the frame 1 and the transverse rail 301. The transverse rail 301, the connecting plate 4 and the frame 1 are connected in sequence by bolts.

[0032] In use, the inner and outer carrier pallets are adjusted to their initial positions. The robotic arm picks up the upstream workpiece and places it on the inner carrier pallet. Then, the motor in the vertical drive assembly 202 is activated to lower the inner carrier pallet to a certain height. Simultaneously, the motor in the horizontal drive assembly 3 is activated, causing the inner and outer carrier pallets to move towards each other. The inner carrier pallet moves to below the initial position of the outer carrier pallet, and the outer carrier pallet moves to below the initial position of the inner carrier pallet. Afterward, the inner carrier pallet is raised to be level with the outer carrier pallet. Alternatively, the height of the inner carrier pallet can be kept constant, the outer carrier pallet lowered to a certain height, the inner and outer carrier pallets moved towards each other, and then the outer carrier pallet was raised to achieve an exchange of spatial positions between the inner and outer carrier pallets.

[0033] Example 3 Reference Figure 6 This embodiment provides a detection mechanism, including a cyclic alternating feeding mechanism and a camera detection component 10. The camera detection component 10 is located above the frame 1 and is used for optical detection of the workpiece on the outer carrier plate. It includes at least two sets of cyclic alternating feeding mechanisms arranged side by side.

[0034] A crossbeam for the robot arm to move is also provided above the frame 1. The crossbeam is perpendicular to the frame 1 and consists of two parallel crossbeams. The camera detection assembly 10 is located on both sides of the crossbeam and above the outer carrier plate.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
