In-service use discovers that when the manipulator grabs the materials in the tray for experiment, the manipulator easily takes up the tray together when grabbing the materials, so that the tray is unstable and easy to topple over, other materials on the tray drop, and the experiment efficiency and safety are affected.

To above-mentioned problem, this application embodiment provides a tray strutting arrangement, can be when manipulator snatchs the material on the tray, press from both sides the tray tight, prevent that the tray from being taken up to experiment security and efficiency have been improved.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the tray supporting device includes a frame body 1, a locking mechanism 3 and a driving mechanism 4, the frame body 1 includes a placing plate 10, and the placing plate 10 is used for placing the tray 2; the locking mechanism 3 is arranged on the side surface of the placing plate 10; the driving mechanism 4 is connected with the locking mechanism 3, and the driving mechanism 4 is used for driving the locking mechanism 3 to move so that the locking mechanism 3 locks or unlocks the tray 2 placed on the placing plate 10.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the operation principle of the tray supporting device of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

when the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10, the driving mechanism 4 drives the locking mechanism 3 to move so that the locking mechanism 3 locks the tray 2 placed on the placing plate 10. When the manipulator snatchs the material on the tray 2, because tray 2 is locked by locking mechanism 3, and becomes overall structure with support body 1, consequently tray 2 can not be taken up by the manipulator.

When it is necessary to put in or take out the tray 2 on the placing plate 10, the driving mechanism 4 drives the locking mechanism 3 to move so that the locking mechanism 3 releases the tray 2 placed on the placing plate 10, thereby putting in or taking out the tray 2.

The embodiment of the present application drives the locking mechanism 3 to move by the driving mechanism 4 to lock or release the tray 2 placed on the placing plate 10. Can realize putting into and taking out of tray 2 to place at tray 2 and locking tray 2 after on placing board 10, the tray is taken up when preventing that the manipulator from snatching the material on tray 2, thereby has improved experiment security and efficiency.

As an alternative embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking member 30, one end of the locking member 30 is connected to the driving mechanism 4, and the other end of the locking member 30 is a free end which is higher than the placing plate 10.

Since the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10, the height of the tray 2 is higher than the placing plate 10. Therefore, in order to lock the tray 2, the free end of the locking member 30 needs to be higher than the placing plate 10 in order to lock the tray 2. The embodiment of the present application drives the free end of the locking member 30 to move toward or away from the tray 2 by the driving mechanism 4, so as to lock or unlock the tray 2. Thereby realizing the putting in and taking out of the tray 2 and the locking of the tray 2 after the putting in. The height of the free end of the locking member 30 can be adapted to the height of the bottom plate of the tray 2, so that when the driving mechanism 4 drives the locking member 30 to lock, the free end of the locking member 30 abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate of the tray 2 (as shown in fig. 6). The height of the free end of the locking member 30 may be adapted to the height of the top plate of the tray 2, so that when the driving mechanism 4 drives the locking member 30 to lock, the free end of the locking member 30 abuts against the top surface of the top plate of the tray 2, which is not limited herein.

As a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the locking member 30 has a U-shaped structure, and the opening of the U-shaped structure is disposed toward the placing plate 10. One end of the U-shaped structure is used for being connected with the driving mechanism 4, the other end of the U-shaped structure is used for being abutted to the tray 2, and the opening enables the locking piece 30 and the placing plate 10 to form a certain reserved space, so that hard collision is avoided.

The locking member 30 of the embodiment of the present application locks the tray 2 by pressing and holding on the tray 2. When the robot arm picks up material from the pallet 2, the latch 30 applies a downward holding force to the pallet 2 to resist the upward picking force of the robot arm, thereby preventing the pallet 2 from being picked up by the robot arm.

As a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the driving mechanism 4 includes an electromagnet 40 and a push rod 41, the electromagnet 40 may be fixedly disposed on the placing plate 10 through a fixing seat, one end of the push rod 41 is connected to the locking member 30, and the other end is drivingly connected to the electromagnet 40; when the electromagnet 40 is powered off, the push rod 41 drives the locking piece 30 to move towards one end close to the electromagnet 40, so that the locking piece 30 is locked; when the electromagnet 40 is energized, the push rod 41 drives the locking member 30 to move towards the end far away from the electromagnet 40, so that the locking member 30 is released.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the tray 2 needs to be placed on the placing plate 10 or taken out of the placing plate 10, the electromagnet 40 is powered on to drive the push rod 41 to be pushed out towards one end of the locking piece 30, so that the push rod 41 drives the locking piece 30 to move towards one end far away from the electromagnet 40, the locking piece 30 moves towards the direction far away from the tray 2, and the tray 2 is loosened. After the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10, the electromagnet 40 is powered off, and the push rod 41 retracts towards the electromagnet 40, so that the locking piece 30 is driven to move towards one end close to the electromagnet 40, the locking piece 30 moves towards the direction close to the tray 2, and the tray 2 is locked.

Alternatively, the electromagnet 40 may be replaced by a motor, and one end of the push rod 41 is connected to the locking member 30, and the other end is connected to an output shaft of the motor. The locking and unlocking of the locking member 30 is achieved by adjusting the operating direction of the motor. The electromagnet 40 may be replaced by a cylinder, which is not limited herein.

Further, the driving mechanism 4 further includes an elastic member, one end of which is connected to the electromagnet 40, and the other end of which is connected to the push rod 41. The elastic element may be a spring, and in other embodiments, may also be a metal elastic sheet, and the like, which is not limited herein.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the electromagnet 40 is electrified, the spring pushes the push rod 41 out towards one end of the locking piece 30 under the action of magnetic force, and the spring is in a stretching state; when the electromagnet 40 is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, and the push rod 41 retracts toward the electromagnet 40 under the rebound action of the spring.

As a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the driving mechanism 4 further includes a rail 42 and a slider 43, the rail 42 being provided on the bottom surface of the placing plate 10; the sliding block 43 is slidably disposed on the track 42, and two ends of the sliding block 43 are respectively connected to the locking member 30 and the push rod 41.

In order to realize the smooth movement of the locking member 30, the movement of the locking member 30 is guided by the rail 42 and the slider 43, and the movement of the locking member 30 is faster, thereby improving the working efficiency.

Furthermore, a clamping groove is concavely arranged at one end of the sliding block 43 close to the push rod 41; one end of the push rod 41 close to the slide block 43 is connected with a clamping head, and the clamping head is clamped in the clamping groove.

Since the locking mechanism 3 is disposed on the bottom surface of the placement board 10, the locking mechanism 3 tends to fall under the action of gravity, and the risk of slipping occurs during the movement. The push rod 41 and the slide block 43 are more firmly fixed by arranging the clamping groove and the clamping head, so that the risk of slipping is prevented.

The push rod 41 and the elastic member are magnetic members, i.e., made of magnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof. The locking mechanism 3 and the slider 43 are both non-magnetic members, i.e., made of a non-magnetic material such as aluminum alloy.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1-4, the locking mechanism 3 further includes a status detection device 31, and the status detection device 31 is used for detecting whether the locking member 30 completely presses or releases the tray 2.

If the locking member 30 does not fully compress the tray 2, there is still a risk of lifting the tray 2 when the material is taken. If the lock 30 does not completely release the tray 2, there is a risk that the tray cannot be taken out. The present embodiment is therefore configured to detect whether the locking member 30 is fully pressed or released from the tray 2 by providing the state detection device 31, so as to prevent the above-mentioned risk.

As a preferred embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the state detecting device 31 includes a sensor 310, and the sensor 310 is disposed on the frame body 1; the sensor 310 and the locking member 30 are located on the same side of the frame body 1. The sensor 310 of the embodiment of the present application may be a photoelectric sensor, a position sensor, or the like, and is provided on the side plate 12 or the placing plate 10.

If the sensor 310 is a photo sensor, the photo sensor is a slot type structure. The groove of the channel structure faces the locking element 30, and a light emitter and a light receiver are arranged on both side walls of the groove. When the locking member 30 is completely pressed on the tray 2, part of the structure of the locking member 30 is located in the groove of the photoelectric sensor, and the light emitted by the light emitter is completely shielded, so that the light receiver cannot receive the light signal, and the detection result that the locking member 30 completely presses the tray 2 is output; when the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2, the locking member 30 moves out of the groove, and does not block the light emitted by the light emitter, so that the light receiver receives the light signal, and outputs the detection result that the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2. The locking member 30 is provided with an avoidance opening for avoiding the sensor 310, so as to be matched with the groove structure of the sensor 310.

If the sensor 310 is a position sensor, when the locking member 30 is completely pressed on the tray 2, the position sensor detects that the locking member 30 moves to the first preset position, and outputs a detection result that the locking member 30 completely presses the tray 2; when the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2, the position sensor detects that the locking member 30 moves to the second preset position, and outputs a detection result that the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2.

Furthermore, the state detection device 31 further includes a sensing piece 311, the sensing piece 311 is disposed on the locking member 30, and the sensing piece 311 cooperates with the sensor 310 to detect the operating state of the locking member 30.

In order to improve the accuracy of the sensor 310, the sensing efficiency of the sensor 310 is improved by providing the sensing piece 311 with a proper size at a corresponding position on the locking member 30.

If the sensor 310 is a photoelectric sensor, when the locking member 30 is completely pressed on the tray 2, the sensing pieces 311 are all located in the grooves and shield all the light emitted by the light emitter, so that the light receiver cannot receive the light signal and output a detection result that the locking member 30 completely presses the tray 2; when the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2, the sensing piece 311 is not completely in the groove, and does not block the light emitted by the light emitter, so that the light receiver receives the light signal, and outputs the detection result that the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2.

If the sensor 310 is a position sensor, when the locking member 30 is completely pressed on the tray 2, the position sensor detects that the sensing piece 311 moves to the first preset position, and outputs a detection result that the locking member 30 completely presses the tray 2; when the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2, the position sensor detects that the sensing piece 311 moves to the second preset position, and outputs a detection result that the locking member 30 completely releases the tray 2.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the locking mechanism 3 is provided with two, and two locking mechanisms 3 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the placing plate 10; two driving mechanisms 4 are arranged, and the two driving mechanisms 4 are respectively connected with the two locking mechanisms 3 in a one-to-one correspondence manner; when the two driving mechanisms 4 drive the two locking mechanisms 3 to move, the two locking mechanisms 3 approach each other to lock the tray 2, or the two locking mechanisms 3 move away from each other to unlock the tray 2.

Since the tray 2 has a substantially rectangular structure, in order to achieve stable placement of the tray 2, both sides of the tray 2 are locked by the two locking mechanisms 3. And the two locking mechanisms 3 move synchronously, approaching each other to grip the tray 2, and moving away from each other to release the tray 2. In other embodiments, more than two, for example four, locking mechanisms 3 and driving mechanisms 4 may be provided, and are respectively provided on four sides of the placing plate 10.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1-3, the frame body 1 further includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 12 disposed opposite to each other, the bottom plate 11 is disposed opposite to the placing plate 10, one end of each of the two side plates 12 is connected to the bottom plate 11, and the other end is connected to two opposite sides of the placing plate 10, and is disposed away from the locking mechanism 3; the bottom plate 11, the two side plates 12 and the placing plate 10 jointly enclose to form an accommodating space 13; the driving mechanism 4 is located in the accommodating space 13 and connected to the bottom surface of the placing plate 10. Two sides of the side plate 12 connected to the placing plate 10 are different from the sides of the locking mechanism 3 disposed on the placing plate 10, so that the side plate 12 and the locking mechanism 3 can be prevented from interfering with each other.

The shape of the bottom plate 11 may be the same as that of the placing plate 10, and both are square. The size of the bottom plate 11 may be greater than or equal to the size of the placing plate 10. The shape of the bottom plate 11 may be circular, and is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the present application, the driving mechanism 4 is accommodated in the accommodating space 13 and is disposed on the bottom surface of the placing plate 10, so as to reduce the movement stroke of the locking mechanism 3 and save the occupied space of the locking mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 4.

As an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 1 and 3, the tray supporting device further includes a tray sensing device 5, and the tray sensing device 5 is disposed on the top surface of the placing plate 10 and is used for sensing whether the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10.

The tray induction system 5 of the embodiment of the application can be a photoelectric sensor, a pressure sensor, a weight sensor, an infrared sensor and the like, and can be used as long as whether the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10 through induction.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the tray 2 needs to be placed on the placing plate 10 and the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is not loaded on the placing plate 10, the tray 2 can be placed on the placing plate 10, and then the working state of the locking piece 30 is combined, and the power is turned on or off through the electromagnet 40 so as to place the tray 2. If the working state of the locking member 30 is the locking state, the electromagnet 40 is powered on to drive the push rod 41 to drive the locking member 30 to be released, so as to put the tray 2. After the tray 2 is placed in the tray induction device 5, if the detection result shows that the tray 2 is loaded on the top end of the frame body 1, the electromagnet 40 is powered off, and the push rod 41 drives the locking piece 30 to move towards the direction close to the tray 2 so as to lock the tray 2; and after the tray sensing device 5 detects that the tray 2 is placed on the placing plate 10, the controller can be informed, so that the controller controls the manipulator to take and place the materials in the tray 2. If the locking member 30 is in the released state, the electromagnet 40 is continuously energized, so that the locking member 30 is kept in the released state to be put into the tray 2. Similarly, after the tray 2 is placed, the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is carried by the placing plate 10, the electromagnet 40 is powered off, and the push rod 41 drives the locking piece 30 to move towards the direction close to the tray 2, so as to lock the tray 2.

When the tray 2 needs to be placed on the placing plate 10 and the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is loaded on the placing plate 10, the tray 2 cannot be placed on the placing plate 10, and the alarm can remind the worker of making mistakes under the condition.

When the tray 2 needs to be taken out from the placing plate 10 and the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is loaded on the placing plate 10, it is confirmed that the tray 2 can be taken out from the placing plate 10. And then the tray 2 is taken out by switching on and off the electromagnet 40 according to the working state of the locking piece 30. If the locking member 30 is in the locked state, the electromagnet 40 is energized to drive the push rod 41 to release the locking member 30, so as to take out the tray 2. When the tray 2 is taken out, the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is not loaded on the placing plate 10, and the electromagnet 40 is powered off. If the operation state of the locking member 30 is the release state, the electromagnet 40 is continuously energized, so that the locking member 30 is kept in the release state to take out the tray 2. In addition, when the tray 2 needs to be taken out from the placing plate 10, the operation state of the locking member 30 is generally the locking state.

When the tray 2 needs to be taken out of the placing plate 10 and the detection result of the tray sensing device 5 is that the tray 2 is not loaded on the placing plate 10, the tray 2 cannot be taken out of the placing plate 10, and the alarm can remind a worker of error.
