[0047] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, an embodiment of the present application provides a batching mechanism, including a frame 1, a manipulator 2, a temporary storage table 3, a lifting and placing assembly, and a material box lifting assembly 6. The frame 1 is the frame of the AGV intelligent vehicle and can move on the ground. The material box 7 is placed on the temporary storage table 3, and the material box lifting assembly 6 can drive the material box 7 to move in the vertical direction. The frame 1 is provided with a transfer warehouse 11, a feed port 12 and a docking port 13. The feed port 12 and the docking port 13 can be connected to the transfer warehouse 11. The manipulator 2 is provided on the frame 1, and the lifting and placing assembly and the material box lifting assembly 6 are provided in the transfer warehouse 11.

[0049] The temporary storage table 3 includes a support arm 31 for supporting the material box 7. The frame 1 moves toward the temporary storage table 3, and the support arm 31 can extend into the transfer warehouse 11 through the docking port 13. At this time, the material box lifting assembly 6 is located below the support arm 31. The material box lifting assembly 6 can drive the material box 7 to move upward, so that the material box 7 leaves the support arm 31. The frame 1 is away from the temporary storage table 3 and can drive the material box 7 to move, so that the material box 7 leaves the temporary storage table 3 and remains in the transfer warehouse 11.

[0050] The lifting and placing assembly includes a translation assembly 4 and a tray lifting assembly 5. The translation assembly 4 is mounted on the tray lifting assembly 5 and drives the translation assembly 4 in the vertical direction. The material bin 7 contains multiple layers of trays, which can be removed and held by the translation assembly 4. The translation assembly 4 also drives the trays in the horizontal direction. After the translation assembly 4 removes the tray, the tray lifting assembly 5 drives the translation assembly 4 and the tray up and down together, lifting the tray to the feed port 12. Through the feed port 12, the robot 2 can grab the cutter disc placed on the tray. The cutter disc is used to feed the drilling machine tool.

[0051] When replacing the cutter disc of the drilling machine, the material box 7 is placed on the temporary storage table 3, and the material box 7 is transferred to the frame 1 through the material box lifting component 6. In order to facilitate the grabbing of the manipulator 2, the translation component of the lifting and placing component can take the material tray out of the material box 7, and the material tray lifting component can lift the material tray to the feeding port 12. The cutter disc can be delivered to the drilling machine by grabbing it through the manipulator 2 to realize the material batching. In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 is transported by the frame 1, and the material box 7 does not need to be set on the smart car for transportation, which can reduce the transportation cost of the tool.

[0052] In one embodiment, the manipulator 2 is a conventional multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 2 , and a gripper assembly is provided at the free end of the manipulator 2 , which can grip the cutter disc from the material disc.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the temporary storage platform 3 further includes a base 32, to which the support arm 31 is connected. The base 32 supports the material bin 7. The frame 1 moves toward the base 32, allowing the support arm 31 to extend into the transfer bin 11, and the material bin 7 on the support arm 31 to enter the transfer bin 11. The base 32 is a frame structure with an opening on one side. The frame structure has a docking space within it. The width of the frame is greater than the width of the frame. The frame 1 can be plugged into the docking space of the base 32, facilitating the material bin lifting assembly 6 to retrieve materials from the support arm 31.

[0054] In one embodiment, the support arm 31 is connected to the top of the base 32 , and the support arm 31 is a cantilever.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , two support arms 31 are provided, namely a first support arm 311 and a second support arm 312 . The first support arm 311 and the second support arm 312 jointly support the material box 7 . In a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the frame 1 , the base 32 has a first side wall 321 and a second side wall 322 disposed opposite each other. The frame 1 has a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate disposed opposite each other. The first support arm 311 is disposed adjacent to the first side wall 321 and has a first gap therebetween. The second support arm 312 is disposed adjacent to the second side wall 322 and has a second gap therebetween. When the frame 1 is mated with the base 32 , the first vertical plate is inserted into the first gap, and the second vertical plate is inserted into the second gap. Simultaneously, the first support arm 311 and the second support arm 312 are inserted into the transfer bin 11 through the docking port 13 , allowing the material box lifting assembly 6 to remove the material box 7 from the support arm 31 .

[0056] In one embodiment, the base 32 has a third sidewall 323, which is connected between the end of the first sidewall 321 away from the frame 1 and the end of the second sidewall 322 away from the frame 1. The first sidewall 321, the second sidewall 322, and the third sidewall 323 enclose a docking space. A first stopper 3111 is provided at the end of the first support arm 311 near the third sidewall 323, and a second stopper 3121 is provided at the end of the second support arm 312 near the third sidewall 323. The material box 7 abuts against the first stopper 3111 and the second stopper 3121, which can initially limit the placement of the material box 7 on the temporary storage table 3.

[0057] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 8, a plurality of first positioning pins 313 are provided on the support arm 31, and a plurality of first positioning holes 711 are provided on the material box 7. When the material box 7 is placed on the temporary storage table 3, each first positioning pin 313 is inserted into the corresponding first positioning hole 711, so that the material box 7 can be accurately positioned on the support arm 31.

[0058] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the material box lifting assembly 6 includes a connecting seat 61, a material box driving member and a material box pallet 62. The connecting seat 61 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1 and is arranged in the transfer warehouse 11. The material box driving member is arranged on the connecting seat 61. The output end of the material box driving member is connected to the material box pallet 62. After the support arm 31 is inserted into the transfer warehouse 11, the material box pallet 62 can drive the material box 7 to move up and down under the drive of the material box driving member, so that the material box 7 can be separated from the temporary storage platform 3. The transfer of the material box 7 between the temporary storage platform 3 and the transfer warehouse 11 can be realized through the cooperation of the AGV intelligent vehicle and the material box lifting assembly 6.

[0059] In one embodiment, the material box driving member is a cylinder or a motor.

[0060] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, a plurality of second positioning pins 621 are provided on the material box pallet 62, and a plurality of second positioning holes 712 are provided on the material box 7. When the material box pallet 62 lifts the material box 7, each second positioning pin 621 is inserted into the corresponding second positioning hole 712, which can realize the precise positioning of the material box 7 on the material box pallet 62 and prevent the material box 7 from shifting during the lifting process.

[0061] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , the translation assembly 4 includes a dual-axis motor 41, a first transmission member 42, a second transmission member 43, a first clamping portion 44, and a second clamping portion 45. The dual-axis motor 41 is connected to the first transmission member 42 and the second transmission member 43 at both ends. The first clamping portion 44 is connected to the first transmission member 42, which drives the first clamping portion 44 to move horizontally. The second clamping portion 45 is connected to the second transmission member 43, which drives the second clamping portion 45 to move horizontally. The first clamping portion 44 and the second clamping portion 45 jointly clamp the material tray, and under the drive of the dual-axis motor 41, the material tray can be pulled out of the material bin 7.

[0062] Among them, as shown in Figure 1, the material box 7 is located below the feeding port 12. When the material tray is delivered to the feeding port 12, the dual-axis motor 41 drives the first clamping part 44 and the second clamping part 45 to move horizontally and approach the material box 7. After clamping the material tray, the first clamping part 44 and the second clamping part 45 drive the material tray away from the material box 7. Then, the material tray lifting assembly 5 drives the translation assembly 4 and the material tray to move upward. When it moves to above the material box 7, the dual-axis motor 41 drives the first clamping part 44 and the second clamping part 45 to move to the top of the material box 7. The material tray lifting assembly 5 lifts the material tray into the feeding port 12. The material tray can be extracted through the cooperation of the translation assembly 4 and the material tray lifting assembly 5, and the material box 7 can be bypassed to smoothly deliver the material tray to the feeding port 12.

[0063] In some alternative embodiments, the material box 7 may not be located below the feed port 12. After the dual-axis motor 41 drives the first clamping part 44 and the second clamping part 45 to extract the material tray, the material tray lifting assembly 5 directly drives the material tray to move upward until it reaches the feed port 12.

[0064] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , the translation assembly 4 includes a first connecting shaft 46 and a second connecting shaft 47. The first transmission member 42 and the second transmission member 43 each include a driving pulley, a synchronous belt, and a driven pulley, with the synchronous belt being disposed around the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The dual-axis motor 41 has two output shafts, one of which is connected to the driving pulley of the first transmission member 42 via the first connecting shaft 46. The first clamping portion 44 is connected to the synchronous belt of the first transmission member 42. The other output shaft of the dual-axis motor 41 is connected to the driving pulley of the second transmission member 43 via the second connecting shaft 47. The second clamping portion 45 is connected to the synchronous belt of the second transmission member 43. When the dual-axis motor 41 is in operation, the first connecting shaft 46 and the second connecting shaft 47 can drive the synchronous belt of the first transmission member 42 and the synchronous belt of the second transmission member 43 to transmit synchronously, thereby causing the first clamping portion 44 and the second clamping portion 45 to move synchronously in the horizontal direction, thereby allowing the material tray to be smoothly withdrawn from the material bin 7.

[0065] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG6 and FIG7, the material box 7 includes a box body 71 and a plurality of support members 72. The box body 71 has a receiving cavity. The plurality of support members 72 are spaced apart in the vertical direction to separate the receiving cavity into multiple layers, and a material tray is provided in each layer.

[0066] A first insertion port 713 and a second insertion port 714 are provided on opposite sides of the housing 71. A first clamping portion 44 and a second clamping portion 45 are located on either side of the material box 7. The first clamping portion 44 plugs into the first insertion port 713 and clamps one side of the material tray, while the second clamping portion 45 plugs into the second insertion port 714 and clamps the other side of the material tray. Driven by the dual-axis motor 41, the first and second clamping portions 44 and 45 then pull the material tray out. The first and second insertion ports 713 and 714 allow the first and second clamping portions 44 and 45 to dock with the material tray without fully entering the accommodating cavity, making operation of the translation assembly 4 simple and convenient.

[0067] The first plug-in port 713 and the second plug-in port 714 penetrate the box body 71 along the direction of withdrawing the tray, so as to avoid interference with the first clamping portion 44 and the second clamping portion 45 during the process of withdrawing the tray.

[0068] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the support member 72 includes a first support block 721 and a second support block 722 arranged opposite to each other in the box body 71, the first support block 721 is arranged on the side of the material box 7 having the first plug-in port 713, and the second support block 722 is arranged on the side of the material box 7 having the second plug-in port 714. The material tray is supported on the first support block 721 and the second support block 722, and the position of each layer of the material tray is defined by the support member 72.

[0069] The upper surface of the first support block 721 includes a first exposed surface and a first abutting surface. The first abutting surface is used to abut the material tray, and a first overlapping space 73 is formed between the first exposed surface and the material tray. The first abutting surface is higher than the first exposed surface. The first clamping portion 44 is located in the first plug interface 713 and the first overlapping space 73, so that the first clamping portion 44 can extend under the material tray. Driven by the material tray lifting assembly, the first clamping portion 44 lifts the material tray away from the first abutting surface, and the material tray is taken out of the material box 7 through the dual-axis motor 41 and the first transmission member 42.

[0070] The upper surface of the second support block 722 includes a second exposed surface and a second abutting surface. The second abutting surface is used to abut the material tray, and a second overlapping space 74 is formed between the second exposed surface and the material tray. The second abutting surface is higher than the second exposed surface. The second clamping portion 45 is located in the second plug interface 714 and the second overlapping space 74, so that the second clamping portion 45 can extend under the material tray. Driven by the material tray lifting assembly, the second clamping portion 45 lifts the material tray away from the second abutting surface, and the material tray is taken out of the material box 7 by the dual-axis motor 41 and the second transmission member 43.

[0071] The first support block 721 and the second support block 722 are L-shaped structures.

[0072] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the first clamping part 44 includes a first moving block 441, a first cylinder 442 and a first clamping plate 443. The first moving block 441 is connected to the synchronous belt of the first transmission member 42. The first cylinder 442 is arranged on the first moving block 441. The output end of the first cylinder 442 is connected to the first clamping plate 443. The first cylinder 442 pushes the first clamping plate 443 to move toward the material box 7. The first clamping plate 443 enters the accommodating cavity through the first plug interface 713. The first clamping plate 443 extends to the bottom of the material tray, and under the action of the first cylinder 442, the first clamping plate 443 is tightly abutted against the material tray.

[0073] The second clamping portion 45 includes a second moving block (not shown), a second cylinder 451, and a second clamping plate 452. The second moving block is connected to the synchronous belt of the second transmission member 43. The second cylinder 451 is provided on the second moving block. The output end of the second cylinder 451 is connected to the second clamping plate 452. The second cylinder 451 pushes the second clamping plate 452 toward the material box 7. The second clamping plate 452 enters the accommodating cavity through the second plug port 714. The second clamping plate 452 extends below the material tray and, under the action of the second cylinder 451, is tightly abutted against the material tray. This allows the first clamping portion 44 and the second clamping portion 45 to clamp the material tray and move it, thereby achieving extraction.

[0074] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the first clamping portion 44 also includes a first mounting plate 444 and a plurality of first guide rods 445. The first mounting plate 444 is mounted on the first moving block 441. The first guide rods 445 are connected between the first mounting plate 444 and the first clamping plate 443. When the first cylinder 442 drives the first clamping plate 443 to move, the first guide rods 445 have a guiding effect on the movement of the first clamping plate 443.

[0075] The second clamping part 45 also includes a second mounting plate 453 and a plurality of second guide rods 454. The second mounting plate 453 is mounted on the second moving block. The second guide rods 454 are connected between the second mounting plate 453 and the second clamping plate 452. When the second cylinder 451 drives the second clamping plate 452 to move, the second guide rods 454 guide the movement of the second clamping plate 452.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the material tray lifting assembly 5 includes a support frame 51, a lifting drive assembly 52 and a bracket 53.
