In order to facilitate the transportation of the tray 200 and improve the efficiency of the automated process, the stage 100 of the embodiment may be provided with the first conveyor line 110, and the tray 200 is disposed on the first conveyor line 110 and moves along with the first conveyor line 110. Based on the conveying function of the first conveying line 110, the tray 200 can be automatically conveyed to the process treatment device without manual introduction, thereby achieving the effects of improving efficiency and reducing labor cost. Of course, the processing and conveying equipment of this embodiment may not have a conveying line, and the existence of the conveying line cannot limit the protection scope of this embodiment.

Compared with the manual transfer of the product 400, the processing and conveying equipment of the embodiment employs the transfer mechanism 300 to transfer the product 400, so that the labor cost can be reduced without any doubt when the automatic processing is realized. Specifically, transfer mechanism 300 includes a motion assembly 310, a pick-up assembly 320, and a drive assembly 330. The moving assembly 310 is a basic component of the transfer mechanism 300, the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330 are both disposed on the moving assembly 310, and the moving assembly 310 can drive the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330 to move in a space.

The picking assembly 320 is used for picking up the product 400, and the transfer mechanism 300 can smoothly transfer the product 400 after the picking assembly 320 picks up the product 400. The specific type of the picking assembly 320 is not limited in this embodiment, and generally, the picking assembly 320 may include a negative pressure unit and an adsorption unit (adsorption disc, adsorption nozzle, etc.), the negative pressure unit is connected to the adsorption unit, and a gas flow channel is formed inside the adsorption unit, when the negative pressure unit works, a negative pressure is formed in the gas flow channel, so that an adsorption force may be generated on an adsorption surface of the adsorption unit, and the product 400 may be adsorbed on the adsorption surface by the adsorption force, so that the product 400 may be transferred. In other embodiments, the picking assembly 320 may be a robot having a function of clamping, gripping, and the like.

As described above, the product 400 needs to be fixed on the tray 200, in this embodiment, the tray 200 has the loading area 210 for placing the product 400, and the tray 200 is further provided with the position limiting element 220, and when the product 400 is placed on the loading area 210, the fixing can be achieved by the position limiting element 220. Generally, the loading area 210 may be a receiving slot matched with the product 400, and the product 400 may be embedded in the receiving slot, so that the stability of the product 400 placed on the tray 200 can be optimized, and the product 400 can be prevented from being displaced during the process, so that the product 400 is in a good processing environment.

Meanwhile, the limiting element 220 has a first state and a second state, and the driving assembly 330 can drive the limiting element 220 to switch between the first state and the second state; wherein in a first state the restraining element 220 restrains the product 400 at the loading area 210 and in a second state the restraining element 220 releases the product 400 from the loading area 210.

In particular, before the product 400 is processed, the product 400 can be transferred into the loading area 210 by means of the transfer mechanism 300, while the product 400 is not subjected to any restriction in the loading area 210, but can still be taken out of the loading area 210 and thus be introduced into the process installation, with the inevitable risk of displacement of the product 400; in the embodiment, the driving assembly 330 can drive the position-limiting element 220 to switch the position-limiting element 220 to the first state, the position-limiting element 220 can limit the product 400 in the loading area 210, that is, the product 400 is fixed on the tray 200, and then the tray 200 is transferred into the process processing device, so that the product 400 can be prevented from being displaced and the processing process can be prevented from being affected.

It should be noted that, since the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330 are both disposed on the moving assembly 310, that is, both the two functional members are disposed on the same basic member, in the processing and conveying apparatus of the embodiment, the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330 can be driven by one moving assembly 310 to ensure their moving capabilities in space, which undoubtedly simplifies the structure, improves the structure integration level, and saves the cost compared with the implementation mode in which one moving assembly 310 is disposed corresponding to each of the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330.

As can be seen from the above description, in the processing and conveying apparatus disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the transferring mechanism 300 includes the moving assembly 310, the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330, which move the picking assembly 320 and the driving assembly 330 in the space based on the moving assembly 310, and pick up the product 400 through the picking assembly 320 to transfer the product 400, so that the automatic transfer of the product 400, that is, the transfer of the product 400 onto the tray 200 or the transfer of the product 400 from the tray 200 can be realized; meanwhile, when the product 400 is located in the loading area 210, the driving assembly 330 can switch the position-limiting element 220 to the first state to fix the product 400 for the convenience of process treatment, and after the treatment, the driving assembly 330 can switch the position-limiting element 220 to the second state, so that the product 400 is released and can be smoothly transferred away.

In the embodiment of the processing and conveying equipment including the first conveyor line 110, since the tray 200 on the first conveyor line 110 is always in a moving state, it is not convenient for the transfer mechanism 300 to place the products 400 on the tray 200 or transfer the products 400 from the tray 200, based on which, the first conveyor line 110 of the present embodiment may be provided with a first positioning assembly (not shown in the drawings) and a second positioning assembly (not shown in the drawings), and the first conveyor line 110 has a loading station and an unloading station, where it should be noted that the loading station refers to a preset station on the first conveyor line 110 that can transfer the products 400 to the tray 200, and the unloading station refers to a preset station on the first conveyor line 110 that can transfer the products 400 from the tray 200; the first positioning assembly can limit the tray 200 at the loading station, and at the moment, the tray 200 is in a static state, and the transfer mechanism 300 can smoothly transfer the product 400 onto the tray 200; the second positioning assembly can position the tray 200 at the unloading station, and the tray 200 is at a stationary state, so that the transfer mechanism 300 can smoothly remove the product 400 from the tray 200.

The present embodiment is not limited to specific types of the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly, for example, the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly may be electromagnetic assemblies, and when the tray 200 is conveyed to the loading station, the first positioning assembly may be electrified to generate an electromagnetic force to generate an attraction effect on the tray 200, so that the tray 200 is stationary; when the tray 200 is transported to the unloading station, the second positioning assembly may be energized to generate an electromagnetic force to attract the tray 200, so that the tray 200 is stationary.

In another specific embodiment, each of the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly may include a positioning element and a first driving unit, and the first driving unit is disposed on the first conveying line 110 and is connected to the positioning element in a driving manner; the first driving unit may drive the positioning member to move to a moving path of the tray 200, or the first driving unit may drive the positioning member to avoid the moving path of the tray 200.

It should be understood that when the tray 200 is transported to the loading station, the first driving unit of the first positioning assembly can be controlled to drive the positioning element to move and move to the moving path of the tray 200, and at this time, the tray 200 is limited by the positioning element on the moving path, so that the tray 200 is still at the loading station, and the transferring mechanism 300 can smoothly transfer the product 400 to the tray 200; then, the first driving unit of the first positioning assembly is controlled to drive the positioning element to move so as to avoid the moving path of the tray 200, at this time, the tray 200 is released without being limited by the positioning element, and the first conveying line 110 can continue to drive the tray 200 to move and perform the process treatment through the process treatment device.

When the product 400 is transported to the unloading station after being processed by the process, the first driving unit of the second positioning assembly can be controlled to drive the positioning element to move and move to the moving path of the tray 200, and at this time, the tray 200 is limited by the positioning element on the moving path, so that the tray 200 is still at the unloading station, and the product 400 can be smoothly transferred away from the tray 200 by the transfer mechanism 300; then, the first driving unit of the second positioning assembly is controlled to drive the positioning element to move so as to avoid the moving path of the tray 200, at this time, the tray 200 is released without being limited by the positioning element, and the first conveying line 110 can continue to drive the tray 200 to move.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in order to simplify the arrangement of the position limiting element 220 on the tray 200, the position limiting element 220 of the present embodiment is rotatably arranged on the tray 200, that is, the position limiting element 220 can realize relative rotation with respect to the tray 200 and switch its own state by rotation; when the product 400 is in the first state, the limiting element 220 partially rotates into the loading area 210 and is pressed against the product 400, and the product 400 is pressed and fixed in the loading area 210 due to the pressing action of the limiting element 220, so that the product 400 can be prevented from shifting; in the second state, the position-limiting element 220 rotates to the outside of the loading area 210 to avoid the product 400, the position-limiting element 220 no longer exerts a pressing action on the product 400, the product 400 is no longer limited in the loading area 210 and can be released, and the transfer mechanism 300 can smoothly transfer the product 400 from the tray 200.

Of course, in the process of transferring the product 400 to the tray 200 by the transferring mechanism 300, the limiting element 220 also needs to be rotated to switch to the second state, at this time, the limiting element 220 avoids the loading area 210, the product 400 can be smoothly placed in the loading area 210, and then the limiting element 220 is rotated to switch to the first state, so that the limiting element 220 presses the product 400 to tightly fix the product 400 to the loading area 210.

The restraining element 220 of this embodiment may have other configurations, for example, the restraining element 220 may be an elastic structure, and in a first state, the restraining element 220 may spring into the loading area 210 to restrain the product 400, and in a second state, the restraining element 220 may be compressed to avoid the loading area 210 to release the product 400.

The specific number of the limiting elements 220 is not limited in this embodiment, and a plurality of limiting elements 220 may be provided, such as three or four, and the plurality of limiting elements 220 may be provided at the circumferential edge of the loading area 210, so as to apply a relatively uniform pressing action to the product 400, thereby preventing the product 400 from being tilted at a single side due to uneven stress and affecting the process treatment effect. Generally, the limiting element 220 is a limiting block.

As shown in fig. 7, further, in order to facilitate driving the limiting element 220 to rotate, the driving assembly 330 of the embodiment may include a driving element 331 and a second driving unit 332, where the second driving unit 332 is connected to the driving element 331 and can drive the driving element 331 to rotate, and the embodiment is not limited to a specific type of the second driving unit 332, which is generally a driving motor. Meanwhile, the driving element 331 has a slot 331a matching with the limiting element 220, when the limiting element 220 is embedded in the slot 331a, the limiting element 220 and the driving element 331 are engaged with each other, and the second driving unit 332 can drive the driving element 331 to rotate so as to drive the limiting element 220 to rotate.

In order to improve the flexibility of the driving assembly 330, the driving assembly 330 of the present embodiment is movably disposed on the moving assembly 310, and the moving direction is located in the height direction of the transferring mechanism 300. With this arrangement, when the driving assembly 330 drives the position-limiting element 220 to switch states, the driving assembly 330 can be controlled to move downward to be adjacent to the tray 200 for more convenient operation, and then the driving assembly 330 can be controlled to move upward to leave the area on the upper side of the tray 200, so as to provide a wider space for transferring the product 400. Generally, the moving assembly 310 may be formed with a bracket extending therefrom, and the driving assembly 330 may be movably disposed on the bracket.

In order to further optimize the operation precision of the transfer mechanism 300, the transfer mechanism 300 of the present embodiment may further include an image capturing assembly 340, the image capturing assembly 340 is disposed on the moving assembly 310, and the image capturing assembly 340 may capture real-time position information of the product 400, the tray 200, and the position limiting element 220 for comparison with preset position information. It should be understood that the image capturing assembly 340 is used for capturing image information of real-time positions of the product 400, the tray 200 and the position limiting element 220, and comparing the real-time position information with position information preset in a background system, if there is a deviation, the motion assembly 310 is controlled to perform a corrective action to compensate for the position deviation of the product 400, the tray 200 and the position limiting element 220.

Specifically, when the product 400 needs to be transferred to the tray 200, the moving assembly 310 is first controlled to drive the image capturing assembly 340 to face the limiting element 220, so as to photograph and identify the limiting element 220, and ensure that the limiting element 220 is in the second state, for example, if the limiting element 220 is in the first state, the driving assembly 330 needs to be controlled to drive the limiting element 220 to switch to the second state; then, the moving assembly 310 can be controlled to drive the image capturing assembly 340 to face the product 400 so as to photograph and identify the product 400, when the product 400 is ensured to be at the preset position, it is indicated that the picking assembly 320 is aligned with the product 400, and further the product 400 can be picked up by the picking assembly 320, if the product 400 is not at the preset position, the moving assembly 310 needs to be controlled to drive the picking assembly 320 to correct the position, so that the picking assembly 320 is aligned with the product 400; when the picking assembly 320 drives the product 400 to be located above the tray 200, the moving assembly 310 needs to be controlled to drive the image capturing assembly 340 to face the tray 200 to photograph and identify the loading area 210 of the tray 200, when the loading area 210 is ensured to be located at the preset position, it is indicated that the product 400 is aligned with the loading area 210, and then the product 400 can be accurately placed in the loading area 210 through the picking assembly 320, if the loading area 210 is not located at the preset position, the moving assembly 310 needs to be controlled to drive the picking assembly 320 to correct the position, so that the product 400 on the picking assembly 320 is aligned with the loading area 210.

When the product 400 needs to be transferred from the tray 200, the moving assembly 310 is controlled to drive the image collecting assembly 340 to face the limiting element 220, so as to photograph and identify the limiting element 220, and the limiting element 220 is aligned with the limiting element 220, and the driving assembly 330 drives the limiting element 220 to switch to the second state, so as to release the product 400; then, the moving assembly 310 can be controlled to drive the image capturing assembly 340 to face the product 400 for recognizing the photo of the product 400, and when the product 400 is ensured to be at the preset position, it indicates that the picking assembly 320 is aligned with the product 400, so that the product 400 can be picked up by the picking assembly 320 and the product 400 can be transferred away, if the product 400 is not at the preset position, the moving assembly 310 needs to be controlled to drive the picking assembly 320 to correct the position, so that the picking assembly 320 is aligned with the product 400.

As shown in fig. 1, in order to facilitate the recycling of the pallets 200, the first conveying line 110 of this embodiment may include a first conveying section 111, a second conveying section 112, a first lifting section 113, and a second lifting section 114, where in the height direction of the first conveying line 110, the first conveying section 111 and the second conveying section 112 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and the conveying directions of the two sections are opposite; one ends of the first conveying section 111 and the second conveying section 112 are connected by a first elevation section 113, and the other ends of the first conveying section 111 and the second conveying section 112 are connected by a second elevation section 114.

It should be understood that, in a specific use process, the tray 200 is transported from the first end to the second end of the first transporting section 111, and then can be fed to the first end of the second transporting section 112 through the first lifting section 113, and then transported to the second end of the second transporting section 112, and finally the second lifting section 114 is fed to the first end of the first transporting section 111, so that the circular transportation of the tray 200 is completed; with such a configuration, when the tray 200 carries the products 400 and completes the process, the tray 200 can automatically circulate and flow back and is used to carry another product 400 again, which not only reduces the number of the trays 200, but also improves the working efficiency.
