Fig. 1 and 2 show a card managing apparatus 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the card managing apparatus 101 including a card cage 102 and an open panel 104, the card cage 102 being provided with a plurality of lanes 103 for receiving sheet material 303, the open panel 104 being capable of supporting the sheet material 303. The sheet handling device 101 may be used for handling sheet material 303. The sheet material 303 of the present invention may be glass, or may be a sheet material 303 (or a plate-like material) made of a hard material other than glass, and for example, the sheet arranging device 101 may be used for arranging sheets of the sheet material 303 such as a wood board or a metal board.

The sheet handling device 101 may be coupled to a transport device, not shown in the figures, which may be provided as an automatic sheet feeding and discharging machine for sheet material 303, an industrial robot, etc. The conveyor may insert sheet material 303 into roadway 103 and withdraw sheet material 303 from roadway 103.

The manner of use of the wafer handling device 101 is generally as follows. For sheet material 303 that can be placed in roadway 103, the conveyor can insert sheet material 303 into roadway 103 and, when subsequently needed, remove sheet material 303 from roadway 103. For sheet material 303 that cannot be placed in roadway 103, sheet material 303 may be placed at open panel 104 by a conveyor, and when subsequently needed, sheet material 303 placed at open panel 104 is removed by a conveyor.

If the size of the sheet material 303 is larger than the size of the roadway 103, the sheet material 303 cannot be placed in the roadway 103. For example, if the height of the sheet material 303 is greater than the height of the roadway 103, the sheet material 303 cannot be placed in the roadway 103; if the thickness of the sheet material 303 is greater than the width of the tunnel 103, the sheet material 303 cannot be placed in the tunnel 103. One of the more common situations is that the preset size of the sheet material 303 is smaller than the size of the roadway 103, but after the sheet material 303 is produced and processed, a large error exists between the actual size of the sheet material 303 and the preset size, and the actual size of the sheet material 303 is larger than the size of the roadway 103, so that the sheet material 303 cannot be placed into the roadway 103. The oversized sheet material 303 may be subsequently reworked or scrapped, but it is temporarily stored regardless of the type of treatment required. In the prior art, the transporting device will usually transfer the sheet material 303 which cannot be placed in the roadway 103 to other places except the sheet arranging device 101, which means that the transporting device needs to travel a longer distance, which affects the storage and transfer efficiency of the sheet material 303.

The sheet arranging device 101 of the invention can store the sheet material 303 which cannot be placed in the roadway 103, when the sheet material 303 which cannot be placed in the roadway 103 is encountered, the conveying device can still store the sheet material 303 in the sheet arranging device 101 (store the sheet material 303 at the open panel 104), and the conveying device does not need to transfer the sheet material 303 to other devices or storage positions except the sheet arranging device 101, so that the moving path of the conveying device is reduced, and the efficiency of storing and transferring the sheet material 303 is improved.

Referring to fig. 2, the wafer cage 102 includes a cage body 203 and a plurality of guide posts 204, wherein the guide posts 204 are connected with the cage body 203, and the plurality of guide posts 204 are distributed in a plurality of rows and columns. For ease of illustration, only a portion of the guide posts 204 of the wafer cage 102 are shown in fig. 2. A row of guide posts 204 arranged in the first horizontal direction serves as a row of guide posts 204, and a row of guide posts 204 arranged in the second horizontal direction serves as a column of guide posts 204. As shown in fig. 1, two adjacent columns of guide posts 204 are spaced apart to define a lane 103, each lane 103 being adapted to receive a sheet material 303. The structure of the guide posts 204 can be seen in fig. 3, and fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic view of the region a in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the guide post 204 includes a fixing portion 301 and a rotating portion 302, wherein the top end and the bottom end of the fixing portion 301 are fixedly connected with the cage 203, and the rotating portion 302 is connected with the fixing portion 301 and can rotate relative to the fixing portion 301. The rotating part 302 is used for contacting the sheet material 303, and the rotating part 302 contacted with the sheet material 303 rotates in the process that the sheet material 303 enters and exits the roadway 103, and the friction between the sheet material 303 and the guide pillar 204 is rolling friction. Therefore, the guide post 204 applies less friction to the sheet material 303, and the sheet material 303 has less resistance when entering and exiting the roadway 103. It should be noted that the sheet material 303 may enter the roadway 103 from one end (e.g., front end) of the roadway 103 and leave the roadway 103 from the other end (e.g., rear end) of the roadway 103; sheet material 303 may also enter and leave roadway 103 from the same end of roadway 103, depending on the manner in which the transport means for sheet material 303 is positioned and the relative positions of the transport means and sheet management means 101.

Referring to fig. 2, the open panel 104 includes a panel body 201 and a panel roller 202. The panel body 201 is connected to the outside of the card cage 102, and a surface of the panel body 201 opposite to the card cage 102 is a card passing surface 208, and the card passing surface 208 is a left side surface of the panel body 201 in fig. 1. The panel roller 202 is rotatably coupled to the open panel 104, as shown in fig. 3, with at least a portion of the panel roller 202 protruding from the tab surface 208. The panel roller 202 is capable of contacting the sheet material 303 and supporting the sheet material 303, and the roller in contact with the sheet material 303 rotates as the sheet material 303 passes through the open panel 104. The friction between the sheet material 303 and the rollers is rolling friction, and therefore, the sheet material 303 receives less resistance when the sheet material 303 is conveyed on the open panel 104.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, one end of the card cage 102 in the first horizontal direction is connected to the open panel 104, and a plurality of lanes 103 are arranged in the first horizontal direction, and two ends of the lanes 103 in the second horizontal direction can allow the sheet material 303 to enter and exit. The first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other, and in fig. 2, the first horizontal direction corresponds to the left-right direction and the second horizontal direction corresponds to the front-back direction. The tab surface 208 is planar, the tab surface 208 is inclined, and all of the panel rollers 202 protrude the same distance from the tab surface 208. In this way, the panel roller 202 can simultaneously contact the surface of the sheet material 303, thereby improving the stability of the support of the sheet material 303 by the open panel 104. Further, the angle between the outer normal direction of the tab surface 208 and the vertically upward direction is an acute angle, and the outer normal direction of the tab surface 208 is approximately this direction from the lower right to the upper left. In this arrangement, the sheet material 303 stored at the open panel 104 is inclined against the side of the open panel 104 opposite the card cage 102 (as shown in fig. 4).

Further, in order to stably support the sheet material 303 stored at the open panel 104, the bottom end edge of the sheet material 303 at the open panel 104 needs to be supported. In fig. 4, the bottom end edge of the sheet material 303 stored at the open panel 104 is supported by the conveying wheel 106 of the sheet handling device 101 (the conveying wheel 106 will be described later). In other embodiments, the sheet material 303 stored at the reopen panel 104 may be supported without the conveying wheel 106, for example, the opening panel 104 further includes a support plate (not shown) connected to a bottom end edge of the panel body 201 and protruding with respect to the sheet passing surface 208, and a top surface of the support plate abuts against the bottom end edge of the sheet material 303 stored at the opening panel 104, thereby supporting the sheet material 303. While for sheet material 303 in roadway 103, its bottom edge may be supported by a cross beam at the bottom of cage 203.

In other embodiments, the open panel 104 may be located elsewhere. For example, the open panel 104 is mounted on top of the card cage 102, and the open panel 104 is disposed horizontally and the sheet material 303 may be laid directly on the open panel 104.

For convenience of description, the sheet material 303 stored at the open panel 104 will hereinafter be referred to as a first material 304, and the sheet material 303 stored in the roadway 103 will hereinafter be referred to as a second material 305. The advantage of the open panel 104 being disposed at one end of the wafer cage 102 in the first horizontal direction is that, relatively speaking, the first material 304 stored at the open panel 104 and the second material 305 stored in the tunnel 103 are in relatively close proximity, as are the first material 304 and the second material 305 both entering and exiting the wafer device 101; therefore, when the first material 304 is taken and placed and the second material 305 is taken and placed, the movement mode and the gesture of the conveying device are relatively close, which is beneficial to reducing the control difficulty of the conveying device.

In order to further improve the similarity of the postures of the first material 304 and the second material 305 stored in the tablet apparatus 101, the inclination angle of the guide post 204 may be the same as that of the panel main body 201, as shown in fig. 3, and the central axis of the fixing portion 301 and the tablet passing surface 208 are parallel to each other. As such, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the inclination angle of the second material 305 placed in the roadway 103 is relatively close to the inclination angle of the first material 304 placed at the open panel 104. Due to the similarity of the postures of the first material 304 and the second material 305 stored in the tablet device 101, the movement mode and the posture of the conveying device are relatively close when the first material 304 and the second material 305 are taken and placed, which is beneficial to reducing the control difficulty of the conveying device.

In some embodiments, the sheet device 101 also has the function of moving the second material 305 along the roadway 103 and the first material 304 along the open panel 104. The card managing apparatus 101 includes a transport module including a transport wheel 106, a first drive mechanism 207, a lifting mechanism 206, and a second drive mechanism 107. Fig. 6 shows the portion of the card assembly 101 of fig. 1 that remains after the card cage 102 and open panel 104 are removed, with the conveyor wheels 106, first drive mechanism 207, elevator mechanism 206, and second drive mechanism 107 being mounted as shown in fig. 6. The first driving mechanism 207 is connected to the conveying wheel 106 and is capable of driving the conveying wheel 106 to rotate. The lifting mechanism 206 is connected to the first driving mechanism 207, and the lifting mechanism 206 is capable of driving the conveying wheel 106 and the first driving mechanism 207 to lift, and the lifting mechanism 206 includes a cylinder or an oil cylinder. The second driving mechanism 107 is connected to the card cage 102, and the second driving mechanism 107 can drive the card cage 102 to horizontally move relative to the conveying wheel 106, so that the conveying wheel 106 is switched between the first state and the second state. More specifically, the second drive mechanism 107 drives the card cage 102 to move in the first horizontal direction. The conveying wheel 106 can abut against the sheet material 303.

The specific structure of the first driving mechanism 207, the second driving mechanism 107, and the lifting mechanism 206 will be described later, and how the first material 304 and the second material 305 are driven to move by the tablet apparatus 101 will be described later. Fig. 4 and 5 show schematic views of the sheet material 303 being placed on the open panel 104 and the lanes 103, respectively, fig. 4 and 5 simplify the sheet handling device 101 and only one lane 103 is shown. As shown in fig. 4, when the conveying wheel 106 is in the first state, the conveying wheel 106 is located on the side of the open panel 104 facing away from the card cage 102 and is located at the bottom of the open panel 104, and the top end of the conveying wheel 106 is in contact with the bottom end of the sheet material 303 (i.e., the first material 304) supported by the open panel 104; at this time, the first driving mechanism 207 may drive the conveying wheel 106 to rotate, so as to drive the first material 304 to move. As shown in fig. 5, when the conveying wheel 106 is in the second state, the conveying wheel 106 extends into the roadway 103 and is positioned at the bottom of the roadway 103, and the top end of the conveying wheel 106 is abutted with the bottom end of the sheet material 303 (second material 305) in the roadway 103; at this time, the first driving mechanism 207 may drive the conveying wheel 106 to rotate, so as to drive the second material 305 to move. It should be noted that, in conjunction with fig. 2, when the rotating conveying wheel 106 drives the sheet material 303 to move, the sheet material 303 moves along the second horizontal direction.

Switching of the transfer wheel 106 between the first and second states is achieved by cooperation of the second drive mechanism 107 and the lifting mechanism 206. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, taking the case that the conveying wheel 106 is switched from the first state to the second state as an example, the conveying wheel 106 is firstly lowered under the drive of the lifting mechanism 206, so as not to prevent the horizontal movement of the conveying wheel 106 relative to the wafer cage 102 by the wafer cage 102 or the panel main body 201; subsequently, the second drive mechanism 107 drives the card cage 102 to move in a leftward direction relative to the conveyor wheel 106, the conveyor wheel 106 passing over the conveyor panel and moving under the card cage 102; next, the lifting mechanism 206 drives the conveying wheel 106 to rise until the conveying wheel 106 is located in a certain roadway 103 and at the bottom of the roadway 103 (the bottom of the cage 203 has a hole or gap through which the conveying wheel 106 can pass). The process of switching the transfer wheel 106 from the second state to the first state is in contrast to the process described above and not specifically described herein. In addition, the conveying wheel 106 can also be moved to the lower side of the different lane 103 by the driving of the second driving mechanism 107, so that the sheet material 303 in the different lane 103 is conveyed.

It should be noted that, the lifting mechanism 206 drives the conveying wheel 106 to lift and lower, and is not strictly limited to driving the conveying wheel 106 to "move in the vertical direction". In the present invention, the conveying wheel 106 may move obliquely upward and obliquely downward during the lifting process, so long as the lifting mechanism 206 can change the height of the position of the conveying wheel 106, the lifting mechanism 206 can be considered to drive the conveying wheel 106 to lift.

The transport device may be difficult to insert into the lane 103, and providing a transport module in the sheet handling device 101 is advantageous for improving the convenience of accessing the sheet material 303. Taking the process of inserting the sheet material 303 into the tunnel 103 as an example (in which the conveying wheel 106 is in the second state), the conveying device inserts a part of the sheet material 303 into the tunnel 103 from the front end of the tunnel 103, and then the sheet material 303 contacts with the conveying wheel 106, and the rotating conveying wheel 106 drives the sheet material 303 to move, so that the sheet material 303 is inserted into the tunnel 103 from front to back. Similarly, taking the example of the process in which the sheet material 303 leaves the tunnel 103 (in which the conveying wheel 106 is in the second state), the conveying wheel 106 rotates and moves the sheet material 303, a portion of the sheet material 303 protrudes from the rear end of the tunnel 103 out of the tunnel 103, and then the conveying device may grasp the protruding portion of the sheet material 303 and then withdraw the sheet material 303. Therefore, in the process of storing the sheet material 303, after the conveying device loosens the sheet material 303, the conveying wheel 106 can completely convey the sheet material 303 into the roadway 103, and the conveying device does not need to be inserted into the narrow roadway 103; during removal of the sheet material 303, the conveyor wheel 106 may push the sheet material 303 out so that the conveyor grips the sheet material 303.

The first driving mechanism 207 is structured as shown in fig. 7, and the first driving mechanism 207 includes a first motor 401, a transmission shaft 402, a first transmission wheel 403, and a second transmission wheel 405. The drive shaft 402 extends in a second horizontal direction and the plurality of transfer wheels 106 are aligned in the second horizontal direction. The drive shaft 402 is connected to the first motor 401, and the plurality of transport wheels 106 are arranged along the axial direction of the drive shaft 402. The number of any two of the transfer wheel 106, the first drive wheel 403, the second drive wheel 405 and the belt 404 is the same. The first transmission wheel 403 is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 402 and is fixed relative to the transmission shaft 402. The second driving wheel 405 is fixedly connected with the conveying wheel 106, the rotation axis of the second driving wheel 405 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first driving wheel 403, and the rotation axis of the second driving wheel 405 and the rotation axis of the conveying wheel 106 are collinear. Each belt 404 encircles a first drive wheel 403 and a second drive wheel 405. When the first motor 401 drives the transmission shaft 402 to rotate, the first transmission wheel 403 and the transmission shaft 402 synchronously rotate, and the first transmission wheel 403 drives the belt 404 to move so as to drive the second transmission wheel 405 to rotate, and the conveying wheel 106 and the second transmission wheel 405 synchronously rotate. Thus, the first driving mechanism 207 can drive the conveying wheel 106 to rotate.

The first drive mechanism 207 shown in fig. 7 has the advantage that: on the one hand, the rotation speeds of the different second driving wheels 405 in the first driving mechanism 207 are the same, and correspondingly, the rotation speeds of the different conveying wheels 106 are the same, so that smooth conveying of the sheet material 303 is facilitated; on the other hand, when a damage occurs to one of the belts 404 (for example, the belt 404 breaks), although the conveying wheel 106 corresponding to that belt 404 cannot be driven, the remaining conveying wheels 106 can be driven, and the first driving mechanism 207 does not fail to operate at all due to the damage of the single belt 404.

The belt 404 may be circular in cross-section. The advantage of setting the cross section of the belt 404 to be circular compared to setting the belt 404 to be a synchronous belt is that the depressions in the surface of the belt 404 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of chips generated by the wear of the sheet material 303 getting stuck in the belt 404 and thus reducing the risk of damage to the first drive mechanism 207. In the case where the cross section of the belt 404 is provided in a circular shape, the outer circumference of the first transmission wheel 403 and the outer circumference of the second transmission wheel 405 are both provided with grooves into which the belt 404 is fitted so that the belt 404 is connected to the first transmission wheel 403 and the second transmission wheel 405.

Referring to fig. 6, the card managing apparatus 101 further includes a base 105 and a movable beam 406, the lifting mechanism 206 is mounted on the base 105, and the lifting mechanism 206 is connected to the movable beam 406. Referring again to fig. 7, the first motor 401, the transmission shaft 402, the second transmission wheel 405, and the conveying wheel 106 are all mounted on the movable beam 406. The lifting mechanism 206 can drive the movable beam 406 to lift and lower, thereby lifting and lowering the first drive mechanism 207 and the conveying wheel 106 relative to the base 105.

As shown in fig. 4, if the movement direction of the conveyor wheel 106 driven by the lifting mechanism 206 is referred to as a first inclination direction, and the extending direction of the line connecting the bottom end and the top end of the open panel 104 is referred to as a second inclination direction (the second inclination direction is not labeled), the first inclination direction and the second inclination direction are parallel to each other. During the lifting of the conveyor wheel 106, the sheet material 303 is lifted up a certain distance. The advantage of the first oblique direction and the second oblique direction being parallel to each other is that the posture of the sheet material 303 is not easy to change, and the sheet material 303 is not easy to shake, topple and the like in the process that the conveying wheel 106 pushes up the sheet material 303. The open panel 104 is a rectangular flat plate, and the connection line between the bottom and the top of the open panel 104 may specifically be a connection line between the center of the bottom edge of the open panel 104 and the center of the top edge of the open panel 104.

As shown in fig. 6, the base 105 is provided with a slide rail 205, and the slide rail 205 extends in the first horizontal direction. The base 105 may be installed on the ground or buried below the ground. The bottom of the card cage 102 includes a slider (not shown) that is mounted on the slide rail 205. Referring to fig. 8, the second driving mechanism 107 includes a second motor 501, a gear 502, and a rack 503. The rack 503 is fixed on the base 105, and the rack 503 extends in the first horizontal direction. The gear 502 is connected to the second motor 501, and the gear 502 is meshed with the rack 503. The second motor 501 and the card cage 102 are fixed to each other, and when the second motor 501 drives the gear 502 to rotate, the card cage 102 slides in the first horizontal direction based on the engagement between the gear 502 and the rack 503. In this manner, the second drive mechanism 107 may move the card cage 102 horizontally relative to the conveyor wheel 106.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 shows a wafer cage 102 in another embodiment, the wafer cage 102 comprising a cage body 203 and a plurality of guide post 204 modules. The cage 203 is adapted to be coupled to the open panel 104. The guide post 204 module includes a frame 209 and a plurality of guide posts 204, with both the top and bottom ends of the guide posts 204 being connected to the frame 209. The frame 209 is removably coupled to the cage 203, for example, by screws or bolts between the frame 209 and the cage 203. The guide pillars 204 in the same guide pillar 204 module are distributed at intervals along a first horizontal direction, the guide pillars 204 are distributed at intervals along a second horizontal direction, and the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are mutually perpendicular. Thus, all the guide posts 204 of the cage 102 are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, and two adjacent rows of guide posts 204 define a roadway 103. The wafer cage 102 shown in fig. 9 is convenient to maintain. When a particular guide post 204 is damaged, a serviceman may remove the corresponding guide post 204 module and replace the damaged guide post 204 or reinstall a new guide post 204 module into the cage 203.

The invention also provides a sheet arranging method which is applied to the sheet arranging device 101 in any embodiment, and the conveying method of the sheet material 303 comprises the following steps:

judging whether the sheet material 303 can enter the roadway 103;

if not, placing the sheet material 303 on the open panel 104;

if so, sheet material 303 is placed in roadway 103.

Wherein it can be judged whether the sheet material 303 can enter the tunnel 103 by comparing the size of the sheet material 303 with the size of the tunnel 103. If the height of the sheet material 303 is greater than the height of the roadway 103, the sheet material 303 cannot enter the roadway 103; if the thickness of the sheet material 303 is greater than the width of the tunnel 103, the sheet material 303 cannot enter the tunnel 103. The dimensions of the sheet material 303 and the dimensions of the roadway 103 may be obtained by manual measurement or may be measured by visual inspection means.

By the sheet arranging method, the sheet material 303 which cannot be stored in the roadway 103 can be stored at the open panel 104, and the conveying device does not need to transfer the sheet material 303 which cannot be stored in the roadway 103 to other devices or storage warehouses except the sheet arranging device 101, so that the storage and transfer efficiency of the sheet material 303 can be improved.
