All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present application provides a conveying apparatus, which may be applied to a production process of an electronic device to convey a component of the electronic device or a container accommodating the component, and the conveying apparatus includes: a first transport structure 1 for transporting the containers 9 to a target location, the containers of the target location being storable in the storage device 7; a second transport structure 2 for transporting the containers 9 removed from the storage device 7 from the target position; and the third conveying structure 3 is arranged between the input end of the first conveying structure 1 and the output end of the second conveying structure 2, and can convey the accommodating parts 9 from the second conveying structure 2 to the first conveying structure 1. That is, the conveying device mainly comprises a first conveying structure 1, a second conveying structure 2 and a third conveying structure 3, all of which are used for conveying the containing parts 9, the accommodating member 9 is a container for accommodating components, for example, a pressure maintaining box for accommodating and maintaining pressure of a combined body formed by bonding the touch screen and the housing in a production process of a mobile phone, because pressure maintaining needs to be performed for a certain period of time after the touch screen and the housing are bonded, therefore, the assembly needs to be put into the pressure maintaining box, and the pressure maintaining box is conveyed to the storage device 7 to be kept still for a period of time, the first conveying structure 1 is used to convey the containers 9 to the target position, i.e. the position where the containers 9 can be stored in the storage device 7, and the container 9 conveyed by the first conveying structure 1 contains the assembly formed by bonding the components, so that the assembly is conveyed to the storage device 7 and pressure maintaining is completed in the storage device for a specified time; after the assembly is stored (or pressure maintaining is completed), the accommodating part 9 accommodating the assembly needs to be moved out of the storage device 7 to a target position, and then the accommodating part 9 at the target position is conveyed away by the second conveying structure 2, that is, the second conveying structure 2 is used for conveying the accommodating part 9 moved out of the storage device 7 from the target position, so that the assembly enters a subsequent process, that is, a process of taking the assembly out of the accommodating part 9, which can be performed while the second conveying structure 2 conveys the accommodating part 9 (that is, away from the target position); after the assembly is taken out of the container 9, the container 9 needs to be reused to contain other assemblies to perform the above-mentioned storage and pressure maintaining processes again, so that the third conveying structure 3 needs to be used to realize the backflow of the empty container 9, and based on this, the third conveying structure 3 is arranged between the output end of the second conveying structure 2 and the input end of the first conveying structure 1 to convey the empty container 9 from the second conveying structure 2 to the first conveying structure 1 and to contain the assembly again in the first conveying structure 1. Preferably, the first conveying structure 1, the second conveying structure 2 and the third conveying structure 3 are all conveyors, and specifically, the conveyors may be belt conveyors, roller conveyors, and the like.

The conveying device with the structure has the advantages that conveying of the accommodating part 9 to the target position is achieved through the first conveying structure 1, conveying of the accommodating part 9 from the target position is achieved through the second conveying structure 2, conveying of the accommodating part 9 is achieved automatically, meanwhile, the empty accommodating part 9 is conveyed to the first conveying structure 1 from the second conveying structure 2 through the third conveying structure 3, automatic backflow of the accommodating part 9 can be achieved, the whole circular conveying process of the accommodating part 9 is not achieved manually, the conveying device is placed manually, the operating mode of the accommodating part 9 is recovered, and production efficiency of electronic equipment is remarkably improved.

As shown in fig. 1, the present application preferably: the first conveying structure 1 comprises a first conveying part 101 arranged close to the input end and a second conveying part 102 arranged close to the output end, and the conveying speed of the second conveying part 102 is less than that of the first conveying part 101; the second conveying structure 2 comprises a third conveying section 201 arranged close to the input end and a fourth conveying section 202 arranged close to the output end, and the conveying speed of the third conveying section 201 is lower than the conveying speed of the fourth conveying section 202. As shown in fig. 1, an input end of the first conveying structure 1 is an end of the first conveying structure 1 far from a pick-and-place device 6 described later, and an output end is an end of the first conveying structure 1 near the pick-and-place device 6. The reason why the first conveying structure 1 is divided into the first conveying portion 101 and the second conveying portion 102 and the conveying speed of the second conveying portion 102 is made smaller is to facilitate the operation of placing the combined body into the accommodating member 9, specifically: in order to improve the production efficiency and save space, a station special for placing the combined body into the accommodating part 9 is not arranged on a production line of the electronic equipment, but the second conveying part 102 is used as an operation platform for placing the combined body into the accommodating part 9, namely, the first conveying part 101 close to the input end is a conventional conveyor, the conveyed parts of the conveyor are the empty accommodating parts 9, the second conveying part 102 is a platform convenient for placing operation and does not have conveying power, the accommodating part 9 moves on the platform by pushing other accommodating parts 9 continuously entering the platform subsequently (the moving power of the accommodating parts 9 comes from the first conveying part 101), so that the conveying speed of the accommodating parts 9 can be reduced, an operator can conveniently place the combined body into the accommodating part 9 and perform cover closing operation of the accommodating part 9, and conveying of the accommodating part 9 and placing of the combined body, The closing operation of the container 9 and the like are performed simultaneously. After the container 9 is completely covered, the container 9 containing the combined body is pushed continuously by the subsequent container 9 to approach the output end of the first conveying structure 1, and finally moves to the target position. Furthermore, if the receiving members 9 already receive the combined body when they are moved onto the first conveying structure 1, i.e. the receiving members 9 already complete the receiving and closing operation of the combined body before they are moved onto the first conveying structure 1, there is no need to divide the first conveying structure 1 into two parts, and the first conveying structure 1 can be a conventional conveyor only.

Similarly, as shown in fig. 1, the input end of the second conveying structure 2 is the end of the second conveying structure 2 close to the pick-and-place device 6, and the output end is the end of the second conveying structure 2 far from the pick-and-place device 6. After the storage, the assembly needs to be taken out of the housing 9, also in order to increase the production efficiency and save space, no stations are provided on the production line of the electronic device which are dedicated to the removal of the assembly from the containing element 9, but the third transport section 201 acts as an operating platform for removing the combined product from the container 9, i.e. the third conveying section 201, close to the input end, is a platform for facilitating the extraction operation, which has no conveying power, and the movement of the containing elements 9 on this platform is realized by means of the pushing of a plurality of other containing elements 9 which subsequently enter the platform in succession (the moving power of these containing elements 9 comes from the roller structure described later), so that the conveying speed of the containing elements 9 can be reduced, so that the operator can remove the combination from the containing element 9, which allows the simultaneous delivery of the containing element 9 and the removal of the combination. After the removal operation is completed, the empty containers 9 are pushed by the containers 9 subsequently removed from the storage device 7 to a fourth conveying section 202, which fourth conveying section 202 is a conventional conveyor capable of conveying the empty containers 9 away to allow the empty containers 9 to enter the third conveying structure 3.

As shown in fig. 1, it is also preferable for the present application that the third conveying structure 3 is arranged at a height different from the height at which the first and second conveying structures 1, 2 are arranged; wherein the transfer of the containers 9 between the second conveying structure 2 and the third conveying structure 3 is effected by the first lifting structure 4; the transport of the containers 9 between the third transport structure 3 and the first transport structure 1 is effected by the second lifting structure 5. In this structure, make the setting height of third transport structure 3 be different from the setting height of first transport structure 1 and second transport structure 2, can realize the superpose of third transport structure 3 and first transport structure 1, second transport structure 2, make third transport structure 3 set up in the bottom or the top of first transport structure 1 and second transport structure 2 promptly to can reduce the place space that conveyor occupied, make the installation that the conveyor that this application provided can be applicable to more place environment. In addition, on the premise of not considering the occupied space, the third conveying structure 3 may be arranged at the same height as the first conveying structure 1 and the second conveying structure 2, that is, the three conveying structures are arranged in the same plane. Preferably, as mentioned above, since the loading operation needs to be performed on the first conveying structure 1 and the unloading operation needs to be performed on the second conveying structure 2, in order to avoid that the setting of the third conveying structure 3 affects these operations, the third conveying structure 3 is arranged at the bottom of the first conveying structure 1 and the second conveying structure 2, as shown in fig. 1.

In the above structure, the first lifting structure 4 and the second lifting structure 5 have the same structure, and preferably both include a lifting cylinder and a lifting guide rail, and the present application further preferably selects the fourth conveying part 202 to be connected to the lifting cylinder and the lifting guide rail of the first lifting structure 4 so that the fourth conveying part 202 can be lifted and lowered by driving of the lifting cylinder and guiding of the lifting guide rail, and similarly selects the first conveying part 101 to be connected to the lifting cylinder and the lifting guide rail of the second lifting structure 5 so that the first conveying part 101 can be lifted and lowered by driving of the lifting cylinder and guiding of the lifting guide rail. When the accommodating part 9 is transferred from the second conveying structure 2 to the third conveying structure 3, the lifting cylinder drives the fourth conveying part 202 to descend, so that the accommodating part 9 on the fourth conveying part 202 descends, when the fourth conveying part 202 descends to a position which is equal to the third conveying structure 3 in height and is in butt joint with the third conveying structure 3, the fourth conveying part 202 stops descending, and then the fourth conveying part 202 is started, so that the accommodating part 9 on the fourth conveying part 202 is conveyed to the third conveying structure 3 and is made to approach to the second lifting structure 5 through the third conveying structure 3; when the containing piece 9 is transferred from the third conveying structure 3 to the first conveying structure 1, the first conveying part 101 is driven by the lifting cylinder of the second lifting structure 5 to move to a position which is equal to and butted with the third conveying structure 3, so that the third conveying structure 3 can convey the containing piece 9 on the third conveying structure to the first conveying part 101, then the lifting cylinder drives the first conveying part 101 to ascend, so that the first conveying part is enabled to return to the position which is equal to and butted with the second conveying part 102, then the first conveying part 101 is started to convey the containing piece 9 on the first conveying part 101 to the second conveying part 102, and therefore automatic backflow of the empty containing piece 9 is completed.

In the present application, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conveying device further comprises a pick-and-place device 6, the pick-and-place device 6 being arranged at the target position, wherein the receiving members 9 are moved by the pick-and-place device 6 from the first conveying structure 1 into the storage device 7 and out of the storage device 7 to the second conveying structure 2. The first conveying structure 1, the second conveying structure 2 and the third conveying structure 3 can only convey the accommodating parts 9, and the accommodating parts 9 cannot be transferred into the storage device 7, so that the pick-and-place device 6 is arranged for realizing the automatic transfer of the accommodating parts 9 on the first conveying structure 1 to the storage device 7 and the automatic transfer of the accommodating parts 9 in the storage device 7 to the second conveying structure 2, so that the automation degree of the conveying device can be further improved, and the manual participation is better avoided.

The specific grabbing and lifting process of the accommodating part 9 is as follows: the accommodating part 9 moves to the pick-and-place device 6 after passing through the second conveying part 102 (at this time, the height of the grabbing structure is the same as that of the second conveying part 102), the second clamping part 602 moves towards the direction close to the first clamping part 601 to clamp the accommodating part 9 through the cooperation of the two parts, then the first driving part 605 (the first driving part 605 is preferably a motor) is started, the first driving part 605 drives the lead screw 603 to rotate clockwise, the connecting part 604 which is sleeved on the lead screw 603 and is in threaded fit with the lead screw 603 ascends under the driving of the lead screw 603, and further drives the grabbing structure arranged on the connecting part 604 and the accommodating part 9 grabbed by the grabbing structure to ascend, in the ascending process, because the connecting part 604 is connected with the guide rail 606, the connecting part 604 ascends stably under the guiding of the guide rail 606, when the accommodating part 9 ascends to the position aligned with the designated storage space of the storage device 7, the first driving part 605 stops working, the accommodating part 9 stays at the position through the support of the third lifting structure, then the gear engaged with the rack 607 is driven by the gear motor 608 to rotate in the forward direction, because the rack 607 is fixedly arranged on the connecting part 604 and the gear is connected with the grabbing structure, the rotating gear can move along the rack 607 by matching with the rack 607 and synchronously drive the grabbing structure to move on the connecting part 604, further the grabbing structure and the accommodating part 9 grabbed by the grabbing structure approach to the designated storage space and finally enter into the storage space (i.e. enter into the interior of the slot part 701 described later), when the accommodating part 9 is stored in the storage space, the second clamping part 602 moves away from the first clamping part 601, so that the grabbing structure releases the accommodating part 9, and the accommodating part 9 is stored in the storage space, then, the gear is rotated reversely to drive the grabbing structure to return to the original position, and finally, the first driving part 605 is started again, so that the first driving part 605 drives the screw 603 to rotate anticlockwise, and further drives the connecting part 604 to descend to the position with the same height as the second conveying part 102 to start grabbing the next accommodating part 9; when the storage time of the accommodating part 9 is up, that is, when the accommodating part 9 needs to be taken out, the first driving part 605 drives the lead screw 603 to rotate clockwise to enable the connecting part 604 to drive the grabbing structure to ascend to a specified position, then the gear is made to rotate forward to drive the grabbing structure to approach the accommodating part 9, then the second clamping part 602 is made to approach the first clamping part 601 to grab the accommodating part 9, then the gear is made to rotate reversely to drive the grabbing structure to reset, then the lead screw 603 rotates counterclockwise to enable the connecting part 604 to drive the grabbing structure and the accommodating part 9 grabbed by the grabbing structure to descend to a position with the same height as the third conveying part 201, and the accommodating part 9 is transferred to the third conveying part 201.

The grabbing structure can grab the accommodating part 9 in a clamping mode by using the first clamping part 601 and the second clamping part 602, so that grabbing firmness and storage convenience in the storage device 7 can be improved, and the grabbing structure can grab the accommodating part 9 in a lifting and adsorbing mode by adopting structures such as a tray and a sucker; the third lifting structure preferably adopts a lead screw nut mechanism (the connecting piece 604 is equivalent to a nut), because the lead screw nut mechanism has higher moving stability while realizing longer distance movement, and can better ensure the moving precision of the accommodating piece 9, and in addition, on the premise of ensuring enough formation, the third lifting structure can also be composed of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a gear rack mechanism, a worm gear mechanism or a scissor fork mechanism and the like; similarly, the moving structure preferably adopts a rack and pinion mechanism, because the rack and pinion mechanism has high moving stability, and the moving precision of the accommodating member 9 can be further improved, but the moving structure may also be composed of an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a screw-nut mechanism, a worm-and-gear mechanism, a scissor-fork mechanism, or the like. In addition, by adopting the above preferred structure to form the pick-and-place device 6, on the premise of ensuring normal and reliable operation, the overall structure of the pick-and-place device 6 can be simplified to a greater extent due to the simple structure of each component, the volume is smaller, the device is beneficial to the matching operation with the first conveying structure 1, the second conveying structure 2 and the third conveying structure 3, and the device is also beneficial to the installation and use of the conveying device in a narrow place.
