[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent applications with application number 202311635664.0 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on December 1, 2023, and titled “Telescopic Transport Vehicle”, and application number 202323286223.2 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on December 1, 2023, and titled “Telescopic Transport Vehicle”, and the entire contents of which are incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the field of workpiece processing, and in particular to a telescopic transport vehicle. Background Art
[0004] When machining medium- to large-sized workpieces, they need to be transferred from the feeding equipment to the processing equipment. Currently, manual lifting is commonly used to transfer the workpieces to the processing equipment. This method requires overcoming the workpiece's gravity to free it from the support. Due to the weight of medium- to large-sized workpieces, there is a risk of the workpiece falling, potentially causing injury or damage, and thus a low safety factor. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, the present application provides a telescopic transport vehicle to improve the problem of low safety factor during processing and transfer of medium and large workpieces, thereby reducing the labor required for manual transfer of workpieces.
[0006] This application is implemented using the following technical solutions:
[0007] A telescopic transport vehicle is used to transfer workpieces provided by a feeding device to a processing device, and specifically includes a carrying mechanism, an adjusting mechanism and a supporting mechanism. The carrying mechanism includes a fixed workbench, a telescopic workbench and a first driving device. The first driving device connects the fixed workbench and the telescopic workbench, and the first driving device is configured to drive the telescopic workbench to extend out of the fixed workbench or drive the telescopic workbench to retract into the fixed workbench; the adjusting mechanism is connected to the carrying mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism is configured to drive the carrying mechanism to switch between a material picking station and a processing station. When the carrying mechanism is located at the material picking station and the telescopic workbench extends out of the fixed workbench, the The telescopic workbench can serve as a loading channel for the workpiece to be moved from the feeding equipment to the fixed workbench; when the carrying mechanism is located at the processing station and the telescopic workbench extends out of the fixed workbench, the telescopic workbench can serve as a unloading channel for the workpiece to be moved from the fixed workbench to the processing equipment; a supporting mechanism is connected to the telescopic workbench, and the supporting mechanism is configured to support the telescopic workbench when the telescopic workbench extends out of the fixed workbench; wherein, the carrying mechanism also includes a picking component, which is arranged on the carrying mechanism and located at the material picking station, and the picking component can drive the workpiece to move along the telescopic workbench.
[0008] In the process of transferring the workpiece provided by the feeding equipment to the processing equipment, the carrying mechanism can be switched to the material picking station through the adjusting mechanism, and the telescopic workbench can be driven by the first driving device to extend out of the fixed workbench, so that the telescopic workbench can be used as a loading channel for the workpiece to move from the feeding equipment to the fixed workbench, and the telescopic workbench can be supported by the supporting mechanism at this time; then, the workpiece is moved to the fixed workbench through the loading channel; then, the carrying mechanism can be switched from the material picking station to the processing station through the adjusting mechanism; then, the telescopic workbench can be driven by the first driving device to extend out of the fixed workbench, so that the telescopic workbench can be used as a unloading channel for the workpiece to move from the fixed workbench to the processing equipment, and the telescopic workbench can be supported by the supporting mechanism at this time; finally, the workpiece is moved to the processing equipment through the unloading channel to realize the processing and loading of the workpiece. This design enables the loading and unloading of medium and large workpieces. During the process of transferring the workpiece from the feeding equipment to the processing equipment, the workpiece is always supported by the feeding equipment, the telescopic transport vehicle or the processing equipment. By building a loading channel between the supporting mechanism and the feeding equipment or building a unloading channel between the supporting mechanism and the processing equipment, and stabilizing the telescopic workbench through the support mechanism, the structural strength of the loading channel and the unloading channel is enhanced, and the transfer of the workpiece is smoother and safer.
[0009] Optionally, the supporting mechanism is movably provided on the telescopic workbench, and the moving direction of the supporting mechanism is consistent with the moving direction of the telescopic workbench; when the loading channel is formed between the telescopic workbench and the feeding equipment or the unloading channel is formed between the telescopic workbench and the processing equipment, the supporting mechanism can be moved to a position close to the feeding equipment or the processing equipment, and a bridge is formed between the supporting mechanism, the telescopic workbench and the carrying mechanism, so that the loading channel or the unloading channel is more stable; when the telescopic workbench extends too long and the telescopic workbench can be overlapped with the processing equipment or the feeding equipment, the supporting mechanism is provided in the middle of the telescopic workbench to enhance the strength of the loading channel and the unloading channel.
[0010] By arranging the supporting mechanism in a movable manner, the supporting mechanism can be moved away from the fixed workbench during the process of retracting the telescopic workbench to the fixed workbench, thereby reducing the influence of the supporting mechanism on the retraction of the telescopic workbench to the fixed workbench.
[0011] Optionally, a locking mechanism is provided between the support mechanism and the telescopic workbench, and the locking mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state; when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the support mechanism is locked with the telescopic workbench; when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the support mechanism can move relative to the telescopic workbench.
[0012] By setting a locked state, the support mechanism can automatically follow the movement of the telescopic workbench without being driven by external force. By setting an unlocked state, the support position of the support mechanism can be adjusted when the telescopic workbench forms a loading channel or a unloading channel, and the support mechanism can be moved away from the fixed workbench during the process of retracting the telescopic workbench to the fixed workbench, so as to reduce the influence of the support mechanism on the retraction of the telescopic workbench to the fixed workbench.
[0013] Optionally, when the support mechanism abuts against the fixed workbench during the process of the telescopic workbench retracting to the fixed workbench, the locking mechanism can switch from the locked state to the unlocked state; when the support mechanism abuts against the feeding equipment or processing equipment during the process of the telescopic workbench extending out of the fixed workbench, the locking mechanism can switch from the locked state to the unlocked state.
[0014] The switching between the locked state and the unlocked state can be achieved only by abutting against a fixed workbench or a feeding device or a processing device, which reduces the risk of damaging the support mechanism or the locking mechanism due to the support mechanism abutting against the fixed workbench, feeding device or processing equipment.
[0015] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a locking ball and a first elastic member, the supporting mechanism is provided with a accommodating hole for the locking ball to move, the first elastic member is arranged in the accommodating hole, the telescopic workbench is provided with a plurality of locking holes, and the plurality of locking holes are arranged at intervals along the moving direction of the telescopic workbench, and the first elastic member is configured to drive a part of the locking ball to be selectively inserted into the locking hole; when a part of the locking ball is inserted into the locking hole, the locking mechanism is in the locked state; when the locking ball exits the locking hole, the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state.
[0016] The locking ball is partially abutted by the first elastic member and inserted into the locking hole, so that the locking mechanism is in a locked state. When an external force is applied to the support mechanism, causing the locking ball to abut the edge of the locking hole, the locking ball overcomes the abutment of the first elastic member and disengages from the locking hole, so that the locking mechanism is in an unlocked state. In this way, the support mechanism can automatically switch from a locked state to an unlocked state when it abuts against a fixed workbench or a feeding device or processing equipment, making the switching more convenient. Obviously, pushing the support mechanism along the moving direction of the telescopic workbench can switch the locking mechanism from a locked state to an unlocked state, so that the position of the support mechanism can be adjusted more freely.
[0017] Optionally, the support mechanism also includes a telescopic member and a first detection device, the first detection device is connected to the telescopic member, the first detection device is used to detect whether the telescopic member is supported in place, and the telescopic member responds to the first detection device to stop extending when the telescopic member is supported in place; the first detection device includes a shell, a limit ring, a trigger rod, a second elastic member and a detection element, the bottom end of the telescopic member is inserted into the shell, the limit ring is arranged in the middle of the shell, the second elastic member is arranged in the shell and is located between the bottom end of the telescopic member and the limit ring, the trigger rod is movably passed through the limit ring, the trigger rod is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic member, the detection element is arranged in the shell and on the side of the limit ring away from the telescopic member, the trigger rod is configured to contact the detection element to trigger the detection element, so that the triggering of the detection element generates a trigger signal, and the telescopic member stops extending according to the trigger signal.
[0018] By stopping the extension of the telescopic member when the first detection device detects that the telescopic member is supported in place, the risk of damage to the telescopic member due to excessive extension is reduced.
[0019] Optionally, the carrying mechanism also includes a picking member and a second driving device, the picking member is used to pick up the workpiece, the second driving device connects the fixed workbench and the picking member, so that the workpiece moves along the loading channel or the unloading channel, and the moving direction of the picking member is consistent with the moving direction of the telescopic workbench.
[0020] The picking member is driven to move by the second driving device to pick up the workpiece, and the workpiece is driven to move along the loading channel or the unloading channel, which reduces manual operation, saves labor, and improves the safety of workpiece transfer.
[0021] Optionally, the picking member comprises an electromagnetic component configured to attract the workpiece when energized.
[0022] The workpiece is sucked in by magnetic attraction, which is a convenient picking method. The electromagnetic component can be turned on or off simply by controlling the power supply of the electromagnetic component, making the picking of the workpiece more efficient.
[0023] Optionally, the picking member is provided with a second detecting member for detecting a picking position of the picking member picking up the workpiece, and the electromagnetic component responds to the second detecting member to absorb the workpiece when the picking member reaches the picking position.
[0024] When the electromagnetic component reaches the picking position, the second detecting member is triggered to generate a trigger signal. The trigger signal triggers the electromagnetic component to start energizing and picking up the workpiece, so that the electromagnetic component automatically starts working or stops.
[0025] Optionally, the picking member includes a clamping component, which is configured to clamp the workpiece; wherein the clamping component includes: a first clamping component and a second clamping component, the first clamping component includes a first base body, a first driving unit and a first clamping part, the first driving unit is used to drive the first clamping part to move in a first direction relative to the first base body, the second clamping component includes a second base body, a second driving unit and a second clamping part, the second driving unit is used to drive the second clamping part to move relative to the second base body along the first direction; a driving mechanism, connecting the first base body and the second base body, the driving mechanism is used to drive the first base body and the second base body to move closer to or away from each other along the first direction.
[0026] By setting a first driving unit and a second driving unit to respectively drive the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move closer to or away from each other, the workpiece can be clamped. When the workpiece is large, the first base body and the second base body are driven to move closer to or away from each other by the driving mechanism, thereby increasing the clamping stroke of the clamping component, so that the clamping component can clamp a larger workpiece. The first driving unit and the second driving unit can respectively drive the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move. When the clamping component picks up the workpiece, the clamping component can respectively control the stroke of the first clamping part and the second clamping part so that the clamping component can fit the workpiece more closely.
[0027] Optionally, the picking member is provided with a second detecting member for detecting a picking position of the picking member picking up the workpiece, and the clamping component responds to the second detecting member to clamp the workpiece when the picking member reaches the picking position.
[0028] By triggering the second detection member to generate a trigger signal when the clamping member reaches the picking position, the trigger signal triggers the clamping member to start clamping the workpiece, thereby reducing the risk of the clamping member not reaching the picking position to clamp and thus clamping empty workpieces.
[0029] In some embodiments, the picking member is provided with a second detection member, which is used to detect the pick-up position of the picking member for picking up the workpiece. The second driving device is responsive to the second detection member to stop operating when the picking member reaches the pick-up position. By using the second detection member to detect the position of the picking member, the risk of a pick-up failure due to the picking member not reaching the pick-up position is reduced.
[0030] Optionally, the picking member has a contact surface along its moving direction for the workpiece to contact, and the contact surface is provided with a blowing hole.
[0031] Blow air toward the workpiece, fixed worktable and telescopic worktable through the air holes to blow away impurities on the workpiece, fixed worktable and telescopic worktable, reducing the impact of impurities on the loading and unloading of the workpiece.
[0032] Optionally, the second driving device includes a chain, a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a third sprocket and a fourth sprocket, the first sprocket and the second sprocket are arranged on the fixed workbench, the third sprocket and the fourth sprocket are arranged on the telescopic workbench, and the chain is wound around the first sprocket, the second sprocket, the third sprocket and the fourth sprocket in sequence; wherein, the chain includes a first section located between the first sprocket and the fourth sprocket and a second section located between the second sprocket and the third sprocket, and in the process of the telescopic workbench extending out of the fixed workbench, the first section grows and the second section shortens.
[0033] The chain is connected to the fixed workbench and the telescopic workbench respectively. When the fixed workbench and the telescopic workbench move relative to each other, the first section and the second section of the chain compensate each other, reducing the risk of the chain stacking or breaking during the relative movement of the fixed workbench and the telescopic workbench, so that the chain is always in a relatively straight state. The structure is ingenious and practical.
[0034] Optionally, the supporting mechanism further includes a lifting assembly, wherein the lifting assembly is configured to lift the fixed workbench, and a lifting direction of the lifting assembly is perpendicular to a moving direction of the telescopic workbench.
[0035] The jacking assembly enables the fixed workbench to move in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the telescopic workbench, which facilitates the telescopic workbench to bridge the fixed workbench and the feeding equipment or processing equipment, and to lift the platform carrying the workpiece to achieve movement of the workpiece in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the telescopic workbench.
[0036] Optionally, the supporting mechanism further includes a rotating assembly, and the rotating assembly is configured to drive the fixed workbench to rotate, and the rotation axis of the fixed workbench is consistent with the lifting direction of the lifting assembly.
[0037] The fixed workbench is rotated by the rotating assembly, which makes it easy to adjust the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench and realize loading and unloading of workpieces when the feeding equipment and the processing equipment are located on different sides of the carrying mechanism.
[0038] Optionally, the rotating assembly is connected to the adjusting mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism is configured to drive the rotating assembly to move so that the supporting mechanism switches between the material picking station and the processing station, and the moving direction of the rotating assembly is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting assembly.
[0039] The workstation switching of the carrying mechanism is achieved through the adjustment mechanism, which reduces the labor of manually transferring the workpiece.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the telescopic transporter of the present application has the following advantages and positive effects:
[0041] The present application realizes the loading and unloading of medium and large workpieces. During the process of transferring the workpiece from the feeding equipment to the processing equipment, the workpiece is always supported by the feeding equipment, the telescopic transport vehicle or the processing equipment. By building a loading channel between the supporting mechanism and the feeding equipment or building a unloading channel between the supporting mechanism and the processing equipment, and stabilizing the telescopic workbench through the supporting mechanism, the structural strength of the loading channel and the unloading channel is enhanced, and the transfer of the workpiece is smoother and safer.

[0063] The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a workpiece processing line 1000 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The processing line 1000 may include a feeding device 200, a processing device 300, and a telescopic transporter 100. The telescopic transporter 100 is configured to transfer a workpiece provided by the feeding device 200 to the processing device 300.
[0065] The processing equipment 300 includes but is not limited to a CNC machining center, a CNC boring machine, a deep hole drill or an EDM CNC electric spark forming machine, etc. The workpiece provided by the feeding device 200 is transferred to the processing equipment 300 through the telescopic transport vehicle 100 for processing the workpiece.
[0066] The feeding equipment 200 includes but is not limited to conveyor belt equipment, conveyor roller equipment, lifting equipment, etc.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a feeding device 200 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Taking the feeding device 200 as a conveyor roller device as an example, the feeding device 200 may include a support frame 2001, a transverse conveying mechanism 2002, a longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003, a stopper mechanism 2004, and a clamping mechanism 2005. The transverse conveying mechanism 2002 is connected to the support frame 2001 and is used to convey the workpiece along the transverse direction X. The longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 is connected to the support frame 2001 and is used to receive the workpiece conveyed by the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 and convey the workpiece along the longitudinal direction Y to the loading area. The stopper mechanism 2004 is disposed on the support frame 2001 and is located in the loading area. The stopper mechanism 2004 is used to block the workpiece. The clamping mechanism 2005 is disposed on the support frame 2001 and is used to clamp the workpiece to maintain it in the loading area. The transverse direction X is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y.
[0068] The transverse conveying mechanism 2002 may include a plurality of first rollers 20021, which are spaced apart on the support frame 2001 along the transverse direction X, and extend along the longitudinal direction Y. The longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 may include a plurality of second rollers 20031, which are spaced apart on the support frame 2001 along the longitudinal direction Y, and extend along the transverse direction X. The material blocking mechanism 2004 may include a material blocking plate 20041 and a first drive assembly 20042. The material blocking plate 20041 is movably disposed on the support frame 2001 along the vertical direction Z, and the first drive assembly 20042 is used to drive the material blocking plate 20041 to move vertically in the Z direction. The first drive assembly 20042 may be a motor drive assembly, a cylinder drive assembly, or the like. The clamping mechanism 2005 may include a first clamping plate 20051, a second clamping plate 20052, and a second drive assembly. The first clamping plate 20051 and the second clamping plate 20052 are spaced apart along a horizontal direction X. The second drive assembly is used to drive the first clamping plate 20051 and the second clamping plate 20052 toward or away from each other. The first drive assembly 20042 may be a pneumatic telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, or the like, and the second drive assembly may be a pneumatic telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, or the like.
[0069] The transverse conveying mechanism 2002 may be one or more. As an example, there are two transverse conveying mechanisms 2002, which are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction Y, with one transverse conveying mechanism 2002 being arranged adjacent to the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 and located between the other transverse conveying mechanism 2002 and the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003. The feeding device 200 may further include a lifting mechanism 2006, which may be provided at both end regions of the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 along the transverse direction X. The lifting mechanism 2006 is used to lift the workpiece away from the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 and transport the workpiece along the longitudinal direction Y. When the workpiece is transferred to the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 near the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 to be transferred to the waiting area of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003, if the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 still has workpieces to be transferred to the processing equipment 300, the lifting mechanism 2006 lifts the workpiece in the waiting area and transfers the workpiece to another transverse conveying mechanism 2002. The other transverse conveying mechanism 2002 rotates the workpiece back to the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 near the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 for rotational transportation. After the workpiece on the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 is transferred away, the lifting mechanism 2006 lifts the workpiece on the transverse conveying mechanism 2002 near the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 and transfers it to the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003. The lifting mechanism 2006 can be a lifting cylinder mechanism, a screw nut lifting platform mechanism, etc.
[0070] When the feeding device 200 is working, the workpiece is placed on the transverse conveying mechanism 2002, which conveys the workpiece to the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003. The longitudinal conveying mechanism 2003 then conveys the workpiece to the loading area. When the workpiece arrives at the loading area, the first drive assembly 20042 can be used to drive the blocking plate 20041 to move vertically upward in the Z direction to block the workpiece, and then the second drive assembly can be used to drive the first clamping plate 20051 and the second clamping plate 20052 to move closer to each other to clamp the workpiece to fix the workpiece. When the telescopic transport vehicle 100 is needed to transfer the workpiece, after the telescopic transport vehicle 100 is in place, the second drive assembly can be used to drive the first clamping plate 20051 and the second clamping plate 20052 to move away from each other to release the workpiece, and the first drive assembly 20042 can be used to drive the blocking plate 20041 to move vertically downward in the Z direction. Finally, the telescopic transport vehicle 100 can be used to transfer the workpiece to the processing equipment 300.
[0071] As can be seen from the above, the telescopic transporter 100 can be used as a device to transfer workpieces provided by the feeding device 200 to the processing device 300. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the telescopic transporter 100 can also be used as a device to transfer workpieces provided by the processing device 300 to the feeding device 200.
[0072] The telescopic transporter 100 is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0073] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the telescopic transport vehicle 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 4 is an assembly diagram of the fixed work platform 2 and the telescopic work platform 3 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The telescopic transport vehicle 100 includes a carrying mechanism 10, an adjustment mechanism 20 and a supporting mechanism 30. The carrying mechanism 10 includes a fixed work platform 2, a telescopic work platform 3 and a first driving device 1. The first driving device 1 connects the fixed work platform 2 and the telescopic work platform 3. The first driving device 1 is configured to drive the telescopic work platform 3 to extend out of the fixed work platform 2 or drive the telescopic work platform 3 to retract into the fixed work platform 2. The adjustment mechanism 20 is connected to the carrying mechanism 10 and is configured to drive the carrying mechanism 10 to switch between the retrieving station and the processing station. When the carrying mechanism 10 is in the retrieving station and the telescopic worktable 3 is extended from the fixed worktable 2, the telescopic worktable 3 can serve as a loading channel for workpieces to be moved from the feeding device 200 to the fixed worktable 2. When the carrying mechanism 10 is in the processing station and the telescopic worktable 3 is extended from the fixed worktable 2, the telescopic worktable 3 can serve as a unloading channel for workpieces to be moved from the fixed worktable 2 to the processing equipment 300. The support mechanism 30 is connected to the telescopic worktable 3 and is configured to support the telescopic worktable when it is extended from the fixed worktable 2.
[0074] Among them, the carrying mechanism 10 also includes a picking component, which is configured as follows: when the carrying mechanism 10 is located at the material picking station and the telescopic worktable 3 is extended from the fixed worktable 2, it can pick up the workpiece provided by the feeding equipment 200 and drive the workpiece along the telescopic worktable 3 to move to the fixed worktable 2; when the carrying mechanism 10 is located at the processing station and the telescopic worktable 3 is extended from the fixed worktable 2, it can drive the workpiece along the telescopic worktable 3 to move to the processing equipment 300.
[0075] The adjustment mechanism 20 can adjust the position of the support mechanism 10 by movement. For example, the adjustment mechanism 20 drives the support mechanism 10 to move horizontally to switch the support mechanism 10 between the retrieving station and the processing station. The adjustment mechanism 20 can also adjust the position of the support mechanism 10 by rotation. For example, the adjustment mechanism 20 includes a rotating platform, and the rotating platform rotates to drive the support mechanism 10 to rotate to switch the support mechanism 10 between the retrieving station and the processing station.
[0076] Both the telescopic worktable 3 and the fixed worktable 2 can be provided with ball bearings 8. Partially, the ball bearings 8 on the telescopic worktable 3 protrude from the upper surface of the telescopic worktable 3, while the ball bearings 8 on the fixed worktable 2 protrude from the upper surface of the fixed worktable 2. The upper surfaces of the telescopic worktable 3 and the fixed worktable 2 can be flush. The provision of ball bearings 8 on the telescopic worktable 3 and the fixed worktable 2 reduces friction when a workpiece moves on the telescopic worktable 3 and / or the fixed worktable 2.
[0077] As shown in Figure 4, the telescopic workbench 3 can be slidably connected to the fixed workbench 2 to achieve the telescopic movement of the telescopic workbench 3. For example, the telescopic workbench 3 can include a connecting column 31 and a plurality of guide columns 32, wherein the plurality of guide columns 32 are spaced apart and connected to the connecting column 31, and the guide columns 32 extend along the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3. The upper surface of the fixed workbench 2 can be provided with a plurality of guide grooves, and each guide column 32 can be slidably arranged in the guide groove. The upper surfaces of the plurality of guide columns 32 form the upper surface of the telescopic workbench 3, and a ball bearing 8 can be provided on each guide column 32. After the telescopic workbench 3 is bridged with the feeding equipment 200 or the processing equipment 300, the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3 can be parallel to the aforementioned longitudinal direction Y.
[0078] As an example, a first limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the guide groove, and a guide member 33 is provided on the side wall of the guide column 32. The guide member 33 is slidably disposed within the first limiting groove in the extension and contraction direction of the workbench 3. The guide member 33 can be a guide rail fixed to the guide column 32, or a rotating member rotatably connected to the guide column 32. The rotating member can be a roller, ball bearing, bearing, etc.
[0079] In some embodiments, the first drive device 1 may include a motor and a transmission mechanism. The motor is fixed to a fixed base, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the telescopic worktable 3 via the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism may be a belt drive mechanism, a gear drive mechanism, or a screw-nut drive mechanism. In other embodiments, the first drive device 1 may also be another structure, such as a cylinder, with the cylinder body connected to the fixed worktable 2 and the cylinder piston rod connected to the telescopic worktable 3.
[0080] Furthermore, the support mechanism 30 can be a support component with a constant support length, such as a support rod, a support column, etc. The support mechanism 30 can also be a telescopic structure with a variable support length. The support mechanism 30 can be fixedly mounted on the telescopic workbench 3 or movably mounted on the telescopic workbench 3.
[0081] There can be one or more supporting mechanisms 30. If there are multiple supporting mechanisms 30, multiple supporting mechanisms 30 can be spaced apart on the telescopic workbench 3 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3 (the direction in which the telescopic workbench 3 moves relative to the fixed workbench 2). By spacing multiple supporting mechanisms 30 on the telescopic workbench 3, when the telescopic workbench 3 is used as a loading or unloading channel, the multiple supporting mechanisms 30 improve the load-bearing capacity of the telescopic workbench 3, improve the stability of the loading or unloading channel, and further improve the safety performance of workpiece transfer.
[0082] Furthermore, the pickup assembly can pick up the workpiece in a manner that allows the workpiece to follow the movement of the pickup assembly. For example, the pickup assembly can pick up the workpiece by side clamping, vacuum suction, magnetic attraction, dragging, or adhesive pickup, among others. The pickup assembly can move the workpiece along the telescopic worktable 3 in a variety of ways, such as by moving the workpiece along the telescopic worktable 3 or by swinging the workpiece along the telescopic worktable 3.
[0083] During the process of transferring the workpiece provided by the feeding device 200 to the processing equipment 300, the carrying mechanism 10 can be switched to the retrieving station via the adjustment mechanism 20. The telescopic worktable 3 can be driven by the first drive device 1 to extend from the fixed worktable 2, so that the telescopic worktable 3 can serve as a loading channel for the workpiece to be moved from the feeding device 200 to the fixed worktable 2. In this case, the telescopic worktable 3 can be supported by the support mechanism 30. Subsequently, the workpiece is picked up by the pickup assembly and, under the action of the pickup assembly, the workpiece is transferred along the telescopic worktable 3 to the fixed worktable 2. Subsequently, the carrying mechanism 10 can be switched from the retrieving station to the processing station via the adjustment mechanism 20. Subsequently, the telescopic worktable 3 can be driven by the first drive device 1 to extend from the fixed worktable 2, so that the telescopic worktable 3 can serve as a unloading channel for the workpiece to be moved from the fixed worktable 2 to the processing equipment 300. In this case, the telescopic worktable 3 can be supported by the support mechanism 30. Finally, the workpiece is moved to the processing equipment 300 through the unloading channel to achieve processing and loading of the workpiece. Such a design realizes the loading and unloading of medium and large workpieces. During the process of transferring the workpiece from the feeding equipment 200 to the processing equipment 300, the workpiece is always supported by the feeding equipment 200, the telescopic transport vehicle 100 or the processing equipment 300. By constructing a loading channel between the supporting mechanism 10 and the feeding equipment 200 or constructing a unloading channel between the supporting mechanism 10 and the processing equipment 300, and stabilizing the telescopic workbench 3 through the support mechanism 30, the structural strength of the loading channel and the unloading channel is enhanced. During the transfer process, the movement of the workpiece is achieved by picking up the workpiece, and the transfer of the workpiece is smoother and safer.
[0084] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the support mechanism 30 is movably disposed on the telescopic workbench 3 , and the moving direction of the support mechanism 30 is consistent with the moving direction of the telescopic workbench 3 .
[0085] As an example, the support mechanism 30 includes a telescopic member 301, a support block 303, and two sliders 304. The support block 303 is located at the bottom of the telescopic work platform 3. The telescopic member 301 is connected to the bottom of the support block 303. The two sliders 304 are connected to the support block 303 and are located on either side of the telescopic work platform 3. The sliders 304 are provided with second limiting grooves. The second limiting grooves slide and engage with guide members 33 on either side of the telescopic work platform 3 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic work platform 3. In this way, the guide members 33 maintain support for the telescopic work platform 3 while connecting the support mechanism 30 and the telescopic work platform 3. The guide members 33 can be a plurality of rollers, which are spaced apart on the telescopic work platform 3 along the telescopic direction of the telescopic work platform 3.
[0086] The position of the support mechanism 30 can be adjusted by moving the support mechanism 30 relative to the telescopic worktable 3. The position of the support mechanism 30 on the telescopic worktable 3 can be adjusted in a variety of ways. For example, a drive component can be provided between the fixed worktable 2 and the support mechanism 30, the drive component being configured to drive the support mechanism 30 to move relative to the fixed worktable 2 in the direction of extension and contraction of the telescopic worktable 3 to adjust the position of the support mechanism 30. The drive component can be a hydraulic telescopic cylinder, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or the like. For another example, the support mechanism 30 can be moved in the direction of extension and contraction of the telescopic worktable 3 so that the support mechanism 30 abuts against the fixed worktable 2, the feeding device 200, or the processing equipment 300 to adjust the position of the support mechanism 30.
[0087] By arranging the support mechanism 30 movably, the support mechanism 30 can be moved away from the fixed workbench 2 during the process of the telescopic workbench 3 being retracted into the fixed workbench 2, thereby reducing the influence of the support mechanism 30 on the retraction of the telescopic workbench 3 into the fixed workbench 2; and, when the carrying mechanism 10 switches between the material picking station and the processing station, the telescopic workbench 3 is retracted into the fixed workbench 2 to reduce the risk of the telescopic workbench 3 accidentally touching other equipment and causing damage due to excessive extension of the telescopic workbench 3. The support mechanism 30 is movably arranged on the telescopic workbench 3 so that when the telescopic workbench 3 is retracted into the fixed workbench 2, the support mechanism 30 can be moved in a direction away from the fixed workbench 2 to increase the retraction of the telescopic workbench 3. Retreat; when the telescopic workbench 3 forms a loading channel with the feeding equipment 200 or a unloading channel with the processing equipment 300, the support mechanism 30 can be moved to a position close to the feeding equipment 200 or the processing equipment 300, and a bridge is formed between the support mechanism 30, the telescopic workbench 3 and the carrying mechanism 10, so that the loading channel or the unloading channel is more stable. When the telescopic workbench 3 extends too long and the telescopic workbench 3 can be overlapped on the processing equipment 300 or the feeding equipment 200, medium and large workpieces are easily damaged by the telescopic workbench 3 due to the excessive length of the loading channel or the unloading channel. By arranging the support mechanism 30 in the middle of the telescopic workbench 3, the strength of the loading channel and the unloading channel can be enhanced.
[0088] In some embodiments, a locking mechanism 40 is provided between the support mechanism 30 and the telescopic work platform 3. The locking mechanism 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 40 is in the locked state, the support mechanism 30 is locked to the telescopic work platform 3; when the locking mechanism 40 is in the unlocked state, the support mechanism 30 can move relative to the telescopic work platform 3.
[0089] The locking mechanism 40 is used to lock or unlock the support mechanism 30 and the telescopic work platform 3. If the locking mechanism 40 locks the support mechanism 30 and the telescopic work platform 3, the relative positions of the two are fixed. When the telescopic work platform 3 moves relative to the fixed work platform 2, the support mechanism 30 will move with the telescopic work platform 3. If the locking mechanism 40 unlocks the support mechanism 30 and the telescopic work platform 3, the support mechanism 30 can move relative to the telescopic work platform 3. The locking mechanism 40 can be a manually unlocked structure. For example, the locking mechanism 40 includes a bolt, a plurality of screw holes can be provided at the bottom of the telescopic work platform 3, and a through hole is provided on the support mechanism 30. The through hole can move along with the support mechanism 30. The bolt can pass through the through hole and be screwed into one of the screw holes. When the bolt is screwed into the screw hole, the locking mechanism 40 is in a locked state. After the bolt exits the screw hole, the locking mechanism 40 is in an unlocked state. The locking mechanism 40 can also be an automatic unlocking structure, that is, the process of switching the locking mechanism 40 from the locked state to the unlocked state is completed automatically. The automatic unlocking of the locking mechanism 40 can be powered by a power device, and the power device can be a motor, cylinder, etc. arranged on the telescopic workbench 3. The automatic unlocking of the locking mechanism 40 can be triggered by the movement of the telescopic workbench 3 to cause the support mechanism 30 to abut against the fixed workbench 2, the processing equipment 300 or the processing equipment 300.
[0090] By setting the locking mechanism 40 to a locked state, the support mechanism 30 can automatically follow the movement of the telescopic workbench 3 without being driven by external force. By setting the unlocked state, the support position of the support mechanism 30 can be adjusted when the telescopic workbench 3 forms a loading channel or a unloading channel, and the support mechanism 30 can be moved away from the fixed workbench 2 during the process of the telescopic workbench 3 retracting to the fixed workbench 2, so as to reduce the influence of the support mechanism 30 on the retraction of the telescopic workbench 3 to the fixed workbench 2.
[0091] In some embodiments, when the support mechanism 30 abuts against the fixed workbench 2 during the process of the telescopic workbench 3 retracting to the fixed workbench 2, the locking mechanism 40 can switch from a locked state to an unlocked state; when the support mechanism 30 abuts against the feeding equipment 200 or the processing equipment 300 during the process of the telescopic workbench 3 extending out of the fixed workbench 2, the locking mechanism 40 can switch from a locked state to an unlocked state.
[0092] It will be appreciated that, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 40 is an automatic unlocking structure. When the telescopic worktable 3 is retracted toward the fixed worktable 2, the support mechanism 30 abuts against the fixed worktable 2, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism 40. When the telescopic worktable 3 is extended toward the fixed worktable 2, the support mechanism 30 abuts against the feeding device 200 or the processing device 300, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism 40. During the unlocking process of the locking mechanism 40, the support block 303 of the locking mechanism 40 may abut against the fixed worktable 2, the processing device 300 or the processing device 300.
[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5, 6, and 7, Figure 5 is an assembly diagram of the telescopic work platform 3 and the support mechanism 30 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of the telescopic work platform 3 and the support mechanism 30 in Figure 5. Figure 7 is an enlarged view of area A in Figure 6. The locking mechanism 40 includes a locking ball 401 and a first elastic member 402. The support mechanism 30 is provided with a receiving hole 404 for the locking ball 401 to move. The first elastic member 402 is disposed within the receiving hole 404. The telescopic work platform 3 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 403, which are spaced apart along the telescopic direction of the telescopic work platform 3. The first elastic member 402 is configured to drive a portion of the locking ball 401 to selectively insert into the locking hole 403. When the locking ball 401 is partially inserted into the locking hole 403, the locking mechanism 40 is in a locked state; when the locking ball 401 is removed from the locking hole 403, the locking mechanism 40 is in an unlocked state.
[0094] The first elastic member 402 can be but is not limited to a spring, a spring, an elastic rubber, etc. As an example, the first elastic member 402 is a spring, which is arranged in the accommodating hole 404, and the locking ball 401 is elastically connected to the bottom of the accommodating hole 404 through the spring. When the locking hole 403 is not aligned with the accommodating hole 404, the locking ball 401 is abutted against the bottom of the telescopic workbench 3 by the spring. When the locking hole 403 and the accommodating hole 404 are aligned, part of the locking ball 401 enters the locking hole 403, and the support mechanism 30 enters the locked state; when the support mechanism 30 is subjected to an external force, and the external force is sufficient to overcome the tension of the spring, the edge of the locking hole 403 squeezes the locking ball 401 to compress the spring, so that the locking ball 401 disengages from the locking hole 403, so that the support mechanism 30 enters the unlocked state.
[0095] As an example, the receiving hole 404 may be provided in the support block 303 of the support mechanism 30. The support block 303 may be provided with one locking mechanism 40 or multiple locking mechanisms 40.
[0096] As an example, in the telescopic work platform 3, a portion of the guide posts 32 may be provided with multiple locking holes 403 spaced apart along the telescopic direction of the telescopic work platform 3, or all of the guide posts 32 may be provided with multiple locking holes 403 spaced apart along the telescopic direction of the telescopic work platform 3, with the guide posts provided with multiple locking holes 403 corresponding to the locking mechanism 40. This provides more opportunities for the locking mechanism 40 to enter the locked state during the movement of the support mechanism 30 on the telescopic work platform 3, while also reducing the impact on the supported workpiece caused by the low strength of the telescopic work platform 3 due to the dense arrangement of the locking holes 403.
[0097] The locking ball 401 is partially inserted into the locking hole 403 by the first elastic member 402, so that the locking mechanism 40 is in a locked state. When an external force is applied to the support mechanism 30, so that the locking ball 401 abuts the edge of the locking hole 403, the locking ball 401 overcomes the abutment of the first elastic member 402 and disengages from the locking hole 403, so that the locking mechanism 40 is in an unlocked state. In this way, the support mechanism 30 can automatically switch from a locked state to an unlocked state when it abuts against the fixed workbench 2 or against the feeding equipment 200 or the processing equipment 300, making the switching more convenient. Obviously, pushing the support mechanism 30 along the moving direction of the telescopic workbench 3 can switch the locking mechanism 40 from a locked state to an unlocked state, so that the position of the support mechanism 30 can be adjusted more freely.
[0098] In other embodiments, the locking ball 401 can also be a locking pin, which is elastically connected to the accommodating hole 404 through the first elastic member 402. A guide surface is provided at one end of the locking pin away from the elastic member. When in the locked state, the guide surface abuts against the opening of the locking hole 403. When the locking hole 403 squeezes the guide surface, the locking pin overcomes the thrust of the elastic member and compresses the elastic member so that the locking pin disengages from the locking hole 403, and the locking mechanism 40 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state. The guide surface can be an inclined plane, a hemispherical surface, or a conical surface.
[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8, which is a structural schematic diagram of the support mechanism 30 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The support mechanism 30 may also include a first detection device 302, which is connected to the telescopic member 301. The first detection device 302 is used to detect whether the telescopic member 301 is supported in place. The telescopic member 301 responds to the first detection device 302 to stop extending when the telescopic member 301 is supported in place.
[0100] The first detection device 302 may include a photoelectric sensor or a trigger pressure sensor. The first detection device 302 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic member 301 and triggers the telescopic member 301 to stop extending by sensing whether the telescopic member 301 is supported in place.
[0101] The telescopic member 301 may include a hydraulic telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod or an electric telescopic rod.
[0102] As an example, please refer to Figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is a schematic structural diagram of the first detection device 302 provided in some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 10 is a BB cross-sectional view of the first detection device 302 in Figure 9. The first detection device 302 includes a shell 3021, a limiting ring 3022, a trigger rod 3023, a second elastic member 3024 and a first detection member 3025. The top of the telescopic member 301 is connected to the bottom of the support block 303 (shown in Figure 8), the bottom end of the telescopic member 301 is inserted into the shell 3021, the limiting ring 3022 is arranged in the middle of the shell 3021, and the second elastic member 3024 is arranged in the shell 3021 and is located between the bottom end of the telescopic member 301 and the limiting ring 3022. 2, the trigger rod 3023 is movably disposed in the limiting ring 3022 along the vertical direction Z. The trigger rod 3023 is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic member 301. The first detection member 3025 is disposed in the housing 3021 and is located on the side of the limiting ring 3022 away from the telescopic member 301. The trigger rod 3023 is configured to contact the first detection member 3025 to trigger the first detection member 3025, so that the triggering first detection member 3025 generates a trigger signal, and the telescopic rod stops extending according to the trigger signal. The second elastic member 3024 can be a shrapnel, a spring, or elastic rubber. As an example, in Figures 9 and 10, the telescopic member 301 is a hydraulic telescopic rod, and the second elastic member 3024 is a spring.
[0103] As an example, the support block 303 and the telescopic member 301 may be fixedly connected or rotatably connected.
[0104] By stopping the extension of the telescopic member 301 when the first detection device 302 detects that the telescopic member 301 is supported in place, the risk of the telescopic member 301 being damaged due to excessive extension is reduced.
[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14. Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of the picking member 4 and the second drive device 5 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 12 is a CC cross-sectional view of the picking member 4 and the second drive device 5 of Figure 11. Figure 13 is an exploded view of the picking member 4 provided in some embodiments of the present application, including an electromagnetic component 41. Figure 14 is a structural schematic diagram of the picking member 4 provided in some embodiments of the present application, including a clamping component 46. The picking assembly includes a picking member 4 and a second drive device 5. The picking member 4 is used to pick up the workpiece. The second drive device 5 connects the fixed workbench 2 and the picking member 4. The first drive device 1 is configured to drive the picking member 4 to move relative to the fixed workbench 2 so that the workpiece moves along the loading channel or the unloading channel. The moving direction of the picking member 4 is consistent with the moving direction of the telescopic workbench 3.
[0106] The pickup member 4 may include an electromagnetic component 41 configured to attract the workpiece when energized. The pickup member 4 may also employ a magnetic structure, a clamping structure, a suction cup structure, or the like. For example, when the pickup member 4 employs a suction cup structure, the suction cup structure attracts the workpiece when it reaches the pickup position, and the second drive device 5 drives the suction cup structure and the workpiece to move together.
[0107] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG13 , the pickup member 4 is an electromagnetic component 41, which further includes a bracket 42, a mounting frame 43, a magnetic block 44, and a fixed block 45. Along the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3, the magnetic block 44 is disposed between the mounting frame 43 and the fixed block 45, and connects the mounting frame 43 and the fixed block 45. The mounting frame 43 is mounted on the bracket 42 on the side facing away from the magnetic block 44. The bracket 42 is connected to the second drive device 5. The fixed block 45 is configured to contact the workpiece when the pickup member 4 picks up the workpiece. The mounting frame 43 has an installation space, and the electromagnetic component 41 is installed in the installation space. The electromagnetic component 41 may also be a combination of an electromagnetic coil and an iron block.
[0108] Further, please refer to Figures 19 and 20. Figure 19 is a schematic structural diagram of the pickup member 4 provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 20 is an exploded view of the second detection member 81 and the pickup member 4 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The pickup member 4 includes an electromagnetic component 41, which is configured to pick up the workpiece when energized.
[0109] The workpiece is sucked in by magnetic attraction, and the picking method is convenient. Moreover, the electromagnetic component 41 can be started or stopped only by controlling the power on and off of the electromagnetic component 41, so the workpiece is picked up more efficiently.
[0110] In this embodiment, the picking member 4 is provided with a second detecting member 81, which detects the picking position of the picking member 4 picking up the workpiece. When the picking member 4 reaches the picking position, the electromagnetic component 41 is energized to enable the picking member to automatically pick up the workpiece.
[0111] 19 and 20 , the picking member 4 is provided with a second detecting member 81 for detecting a picking position of the picking member 4 for picking up a workpiece. The electromagnetic component 41 responds to the second detecting member 81 to absorb the workpiece when the picking member 4 reaches the picking position.
[0112] The second detecting member 81 may be a photoelectric sensor or a trigger pressure sensor. The second detecting member 81 is mounted on the picking member 4 and triggers the electromagnetic block in the electromagnetic component 41 to turn on and off by sensing the position of the workpiece.
[0113] As an example, the second detecting member 81 is a trigger-type pressure sensor, and the picking member 4 is provided with a contact member 82. The contact member 82 is movably provided on the picking member 4. The picking member 4 has a contact surface 92. Along the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3, the contact member 82 is movably provided on the picking member 4. The contact member 82 is used to contact the second detecting member 81 to trigger the second detecting member 81. The trigger head of the contact member 82 protrudes from the abutment surface 92, and the trigger head is used to contact the workpiece. In the process of the picking member 4 moving toward the workpiece to pick up the workpiece, the trigger head of the contact member 82 contacts the workpiece in advance, and the contact member 82 moves in the picking member 4 to trigger the second detecting member 81 and generate a trigger signal. The electromagnetic component 41 works according to the trigger signal to enable the picking member 4 to pick up the workpiece.
[0114] As an example, the magnetic block 44 and the fixed block 45 are provided with a through hole 91 for the contact member 82 to move, and the surface of the fixed block 45 facing away from the magnetic block 44 is the abutting surface 92 of the picking member 4 .
[0115] The second driving device 5 can be arranged on the telescopic workbench 3 and / or the fixed workbench 2. The second driving device 5 may include a power element and a transmission component. The transmission component connects the power element and the picking component 4. The power element can be a cylinder, an oil cylinder, a motor, etc., and the transmission component can be a transmission rod, a chain 51 assembly, a gear assembly, etc.
[0116] The second drive mechanism 5 drives the pick-up member 4 to pick up the workpiece and move it along the loading or unloading channel, reducing manual operation, saving labor, and improving the safety of workpiece transfer. The movement direction of the pick-up member 4 aligns with the movement direction of the telescopic worktable 3, allowing the pick-up member 4 to pick up and move the workpiece over a shorter path. The second drive mechanism 5 drives the pick-up member 4 to move, resulting in more efficient workpiece transfer.
[0117] In this embodiment, the abutment surface 92 of the picking member 4 is provided with a blowing hole 93, through which air is blown onto the workpiece, the fixed worktable 2 and the telescopic worktable 3 to blow away impurities on the workpiece, the fixed worktable 2 and the telescopic worktable 3, thereby reducing the influence of impurities on the loading and unloading of the workpiece.
[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 14 and 15. Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the picking member 4 (picking member 4 includes a clamping component 46) provided in some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the clamping component 46 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The picking member 4 includes a clamping component 46, and the clamping component 46 is configured to clamp a workpiece. The clamping component 46 includes a first clamping assembly 462, a second clamping assembly 463, and a driving mechanism 464. The first clamping assembly 462 includes a first base 4621, a first driving unit 4622, and a first clamping portion 4623. The first driving unit 4622 is used to drive the first clamping portion 4623 to move relative to the first base 4621 along a first direction. The second clamping assembly 463 includes a second base 4631, a second driving unit 4632, and a second clamping portion 4633. The second driving unit 4632 is used to drive the second clamping portion 4633 to move relative to the second base 4631 along the first direction. The driving mechanism 464 connects the first base 4621 and the second base 4631 , and is used to drive the first base 4621 and the second base 4631 toward or away from each other along a first direction.
[0119] The driving mechanism 464, the first driving unit 4622 and the second driving unit 4632 can all be motors, cylinders, etc. As an example, as shown in Figure 15, the driving mechanism 464 can include a motor, a base 461 is provided on the bracket 42, the driving mechanism 464 is provided on the base 461, and a transmission chain, two sliding blocks and two slide rails are provided on the base 461. The transmission chain is connected to the driving mechanism 464 in a transmission manner. The two sliding blocks are respectively connected to the first seat body 4621 and the second seat body 4631. The two slide rails are parallel to the first direction. The two sliding blocks are respectively provided on the transmission chain and respectively slide with the slide rails. The sliding blocks are configured so that when the driving mechanism 464 drives the transmission chain to rotate, the transmission chain drives the sliding blocks to move on the slide rails to drive the first seat body 4 621 and the second base body 4631 move closer to or farther from each other along a first direction; the first drive unit 4622 and the second drive unit 4632 may also be motors, respectively. The first base body 4621 is provided with a first screw rod, the first clamping portion 4623 is provided with a first nut seat, the first screw rod is connected to the first nut seat, and the first drive unit 4622 is configured to drive the first screw rod to rotate in the first nut seat to drive the first clamping portion 4623 to move along the first direction; the second base body 4631 is provided with a second screw rod, the second clamping portion 4633 is provided with a second nut seat, the second screw rod is connected to the second nut seat, and the second drive unit 4632 is configured to drive the second screw rod to rotate in the second nut seat to drive the second clamping portion 4633 to move along the first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the telescopic workbench 3.
[0120] By setting the first driving unit 4622 and the second driving unit 4632, the first clamping part 4623 and the second clamping part 4633 are driven to move closer to or away from each other respectively, so as to realize the clamping of the workpiece. When the workpiece is large, the first seat body 4621 and the second seat body 4631 are driven to move closer to or away from each other by the driving mechanism 464, thereby increasing the clamping stroke of the clamping component 46, so that the clamping component 46 can clamp a larger workpiece. The first driving unit 4622 and the second driving unit 4632 can respectively drive the first clamping part 4623 and the second clamping part 4633 to move. When the clamping component 46 picks up the workpiece, the clamping component 46 can respectively control the stroke of the first clamping part 4623 and the second clamping part 4633 so that the clamping component 46 can fit the workpiece more closely.
[0121] It should be noted that, when the picking member 4 includes the clamping member 46 , the picking member 4 may also include the electromagnetic member 41 , so that the stability of the workpiece transfer is improved by the electromagnetic member 41 magnetically attracting the workpiece and the clamping member 46 clamping the workpiece.
[0122] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the picking member 4 has a supporting surface 92 for the workpiece to abut against along its moving direction, and the supporting surface 92 is provided with a blowing hole 93 .
[0123] The air blowing hole 93 can be one or more. The air blowing hole 93 can be connected to an air pipe to supply air to the air blowing hole 93.
[0124] As shown in Figures 19 and 20 , in the embodiment where the picking member 4 includes the electromagnetic component 41, the abutting surface 92 is the surface of the fixing block 45 facing away from the magnetic block 44. As shown in Figure 7 , in the embodiment where the picking member 4 includes the clamping component, the abutting surface 92 (not shown) can be the surface of the base 461 facing away from the bracket 42.
[0125] In this embodiment, the picking member 4 includes a clamping component 46, which picks up the workpiece by clamping, so that the workpiece is more stable during the movement.
[0126] In some embodiments, the picking member 4 is provided with a second detecting member 81 (not shown in the figure), which is used to detect the picking position of the picking member 4 picking up the workpiece, and the clamping component 46 responds to the second detecting member 81 to clamp the workpiece when the picking member 4 reaches the picking position.
[0127] The second detecting member 81 may be a photoelectric sensor, a trigger pressure sensor, or the like.
[0128] By triggering the second detecting member 81 to generate a trigger signal when the clamping member 46 reaches the picking position, the trigger signal triggers the clamping member 46 to start clamping the workpiece, thereby reducing the situation where the clamping member 46 does not reach the picking position to clamp and clamps empty workpieces.
[0129] In some embodiments, the picking member 4 is provided with a second detecting member 81 (not shown in the figure), which is used to detect the picking position of the picking member 4 picking up the workpiece. The second driving device 5 responds to the second detecting member 81 to stop working when the picking member 4 reaches the picking position.
[0130] As an example, the picking member 4 and the second driving device 5 both respond to the second detection member 81. In the process of the second driving device 5 driving the picking member 4 to move to pick up the workpiece, when the second detection member 81 detects that the picking member 4 reaches the picking position, the second driving device 5 stops working, and the picking member 4 works and picks up the workpiece, reducing the risk of picking failure due to the picking member 4 not reaching the picking position to pick up the workpiece.
[0131] Continuing with reference to Figures 11 and 12, the second driving device 5 includes a chain 51, a first sprocket 52, a second sprocket 53, a third sprocket 54, and a fourth sprocket 55. The first sprocket 52 and the second sprocket 53 are disposed on the fixed workbench 2, and the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55 are disposed on the telescopic workbench 3. The chain 51 is sequentially wound around the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54, and the fourth sprocket 55. The chain 51 includes a first section 511 located between the first sprocket 52 and the fourth sprocket 55, and a second section 512 located between the second sprocket 53 and the third sprocket 54. When the telescopic workbench 3 extends out of the fixed workbench 2, the first section 511 extends and the second section 512 shortens.
[0132] The chain 51 is sequentially wound around the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55. The chain 51 is not limited to being wound around the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55. The chain 51 can also be wound around other sprockets arranged on the telescopic workbench 3 and / or the fixed workbench 2.
[0133] Among them, any one of the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55 can be used as a driving wheel to drive the chain 51 to move, or other external sprockets installed on the fixed workbench 2 or the telescopic workbench 3 can be used as a driving wheel to drive the chain 51 to move and the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55 to rotate.
[0134] As an example, as shown in Figure 12, the second driving device 5 can also include a fifth sprocket 56, a sixth sprocket 57 and a seventh sprocket 58. The fifth sprocket 56, the sixth sprocket 57 and the seventh sprocket 58 are all arranged on the fixed workbench 2, and the chain 51 is wound around the first sprocket 52, the second sprocket 53, the third sprocket 54, the sixth sprocket 57, the seventh sprocket 58, the fourth sprocket 55 and the fifth sprocket 56 in sequence. Along the movement direction of the chain 51, the fifth sprocket 56 is located between the first sprocket 52 and the fourth sprocket 55, the sixth sprocket 57 and the seventh sprocket 58 are located between the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55, and the first sprocket 52 is located below the fifth sprocket 56. Along the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3, the sixth sprocket 57 and the seventh sprocket 58 are located at the end of the fixed workbench 2 away from the fifth sprocket 56. Along the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic work platform 3, the first sprocket 52 and the second sprocket 53 are located on either side of the fixed work platform 2, with the second sprocket 53 located near the end of the telescopic work platform 3 that extends beyond the fixed work platform 2. Along the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic work platform 3, the third sprocket 54 and the fourth sprocket 55 are located on either side of the telescopic work platform 3, with the fourth sprocket 55 located near the end of the telescopic work platform 3 that extends beyond the fixed work platform 2. Along the Z direction, the projection of the third sprocket 54 is located between the projection of the first sprocket 52 and the projection of the second sprocket 53. The portion of the chain 51 between the fourth sprocket 55 and the fifth sprocket 56, as well as the portion of the chain 51 between the first sprocket 52 and the fifth sprocket 56, together constitute the first section 511. The portion of the chain 51 between the third sprocket 54 and the sixth sprocket 57 constitutes the third section 513. The second section 512 and the third section 513 are arranged in parallel.
[0135] In this embodiment, the chain 51 is connected to the fixed workbench 2 and the telescopic workbench 3 respectively. When the fixed workbench 2 and the telescopic workbench 3 move relative to each other, the first section 511 and the second section 512 of the chain 51 compensate for each other, reducing the risk of the chain 51 stacking or breaking during the relative movement of the fixed workbench 2 and the telescopic workbench 3, so that the chain 51 is always in a relatively straight state, with an ingenious structure and strong practicality.

The supporting mechanism 10 also includes a rotating component 7, and the rotating component 7 is configured to drive the fixed workbench 2 to rotate. The rotation axis of the fixed workbench 2 is consistent with the lifting direction of the lifting component 6.

[0143] As an example, the rotating assembly 7 is a rotating bearing 72 module. The rotating assembly 7 may include the rotating bearing 72 and a fifth drive assembly 71. The fifth drive assembly 71 is in transmission connection with the rotating bearing 72. The rotating assembly 7 also includes a second support plate 73, which is disposed below the jacking assembly 6. The rotating bearing 72 has a fixed portion 721 and a rotating portion 722.

The fifth drive assembly 71 is mounted on the fixed portion 721 and is configured to drive the rotating portion 722 to rotate relative to the fixed portion 721. The fixed portion 721 of the rotating bearing 72 is connected to the second support plate 73, and the rotating portion 722 of the rotating bearing 72 is connected to the jacking assembly 6. Specifically, the first support plate 66 of the jacking assembly 6 may be connected to the rotating portion 722. The fifth drive assembly 71 includes a motor. When the motor is in operation, the motor drives the rotating portion 722 to rotate relative to the fixed portion 721, thereby driving the jacking assembly 6 and the fixed workbench 2 to rotate.
[0144] The fixed workbench 2 is rotated by the rotating assembly 7, so that when the feeding device 200 and the processing device 300 are located on different sides of the supporting mechanism 10, the telescopic direction of the telescopic workbench 3 can be adjusted to realize loading and unloading of workpieces.
[0145] According to the above content, the jacking assembly 6 can be connected to the rotating assembly 7 and the fixed workbench 2, the fixed workbench 2 can be located above the jacking assembly, and the jacking assembly can be located above the rotating assembly.

[0147] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 18, which is an exploded view of the adjustment mechanism 20 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The rotating component 7 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 20, and the adjusting mechanism 20 is configured to drive the rotating component 7 to move so that the supporting mechanism 10 switches between the material picking station and the processing station.

[0148] The moving direction of the rotating assembly 7 can be parallel to the horizontal direction X, and the lifting direction of the lifting assembly 6 can be parallel to the vertical direction Z.
[0149] The rotating assembly 7 can be directly connected to the adjusting mechanism 20. For example, the lifting assembly 6 is located above the rotating assembly 7, and the rotating assembly 7 can connect the adjusting mechanism 20 and the lifting assembly 6 to realize a direct connection between the rotating assembly 7 and the adjusting mechanism 20; the rotating assembly 7 can also be indirectly connected to the adjusting mechanism 20. For example, the lifting assembly 6 is located below the rotating assembly 7, and the lifting assembly 6 can connect the adjusting mechanism 20 and the rotating assembly 7 to realize an indirect connection between the rotating assembly 7 and the adjusting mechanism 20.

The rack 204 is set along the extension direction of the ground rail 202. The drive gear 2012 is engaged with the rack 204.
[0152] The workstation switching of the carrying mechanism 10 is achieved through the adjustment mechanism 20, which reduces the labor required for manually transferring workpieces.
[0153] In some embodiments of the present application, the telescopic transporter 100 operates as follows: First, the sixth drive assembly 201 drives the support mechanism 10 to transfer to the loading station on the ground rail 202. The support mechanism 30 is located at the end of the telescopic work platform 3 that extends beyond the fixed work platform 2, adjusting the telescopic work platform 3's extension direction toward the loading area of the feeding device 200. Subsequently, the lifting assembly 6 lifts the fixed work platform 2, and the first drive device 1 drives the telescopic work platform 3 toward the loading area of the feeding device 200.
[0154] At this time, when the end of the telescopic workbench 3 away from the fixed workbench 2 is located above the loading area, the jacking assembly 6 can be lowered so that the telescopic workbench 3 is overlapped on the feeding device 200, and the supporting mechanism 30 can be moved to the middle of the telescopic workbench 3, and the telescopic member 301 is extended until the first detection device 302 detects that the telescopic member 301 reaches the supporting position (the supporting position can be supported to the ground, and the first detection device 302 and the ground generate a certain pressure, and the pressure value is the force that overcomes the spring to compress the spring until the trigger rod 3023 contacts the first detection member 3025), and the telescopic member 301 stops extending;
[0155] Alternatively, the end of the telescopic workbench 3 away from the fixed workbench 2 is supported by the support mechanism 30 (in this case, the telescopic workbench 3 may be overlapped on the feeding device or may not be overlapped on the feeding device), and the telescopic member 301 extends until the first detection device 302 detects that the telescopic member 301 reaches the support position, and the telescopic member 301 stops extending;
[0156] A loading channel is formed between the feeding device 200 and the fixed workbench 2 .
[0157] Subsequently, the second driving device 5 drives the picking part 4 to move toward the workpiece; when the second detection part 81 detects that the picking part 4 has reached the picking position, the second driving device 5 stops moving, and the picking part 4 picks up the workpiece at the same time; after the workpiece is picked up, the second driving device 5 drives the picking part 4 to transfer the workpiece to the fixed workbench 2.
[0158] When the end of the telescopic workbench 3 away from the fixed workbench 2 is located at the processing equipment 300, the jacking assembly 6 is lowered so that the telescopic workbench 3 is overlapped with the processing equipment 300, and the supporting mechanism 30 can be moved to the middle of the telescopic workbench 3, and the telescopic member 301 is extended until the first detection device 302 detects that the telescopic member 301 has reached the support position, and the telescopic member 301 stops extending;
[0159] Alternatively, the end of the telescopic workbench 3 away from the fixed workbench 2 is supported by the support mechanism 30, and the telescopic member 301 extends until the first detection device 302 detects that the telescopic member 301 reaches the support position, and the telescopic member 301 stops extending.
[0160] A material unloading channel is formed between the processing equipment 300 and the fixed workbench 2. Subsequently, the second driving device 5 drives the picking member 4 to move, and the workpiece is transferred to the processing equipment 300 through the telescopic workbench 3 under the action of the picking member 4, thereby realizing the transfer of the workpiece.
[0161] Of course, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application. Industrial Applicability
