The specific structure of the upper turntable system 10 is described below.

Referring to fig. 1-11, in one embodiment, the workpiece feeding turntable system 10 includes a turntable structure 100 and a plurality of workpiece feeding tools 200. The turntable structure 100 comprises a mounting assembly 110 and a turntable frame 120, said turntable frame 120 being rotatably mounted to said mounting assembly 110, said turntable frame 120 having an even number of oppositely arranged mounting locations. Each of the installation portions is provided with one of the upper tool 200. The two opposite installation parts correspond to the upper part tool 200, the same part 40 is installed on the upper part tool 200, and when the rotary table frame 120 drives the upper part tool 200 to rotate, the part 40 is installed on one side of the upper part tool 200 corresponding to the two opposite installation parts, and the part 40 is taken out symmetrically.

The turntable structure 100 is rotatably disposed, and the plurality of upper tools 200 are disposed outside the turntable structure 100. Any two upper tools 200 are arranged oppositely. The relative arrangement here means that the line connecting the two upper parts is a straight line. The two upper tools 200 arranged oppositely can be used for installing the same type of parts 40. Taking the two opposite upper tools 200 as an example for explanation, when the turntable structure 100 rotates, the turntable structure 100 can drive the two opposite upper tools 200 to rotate, one of the upper tools 200 rotates to the production position, the other upper tool 200 rotates to the upper position, the upper tool 200 is in the upper position, and the other upper tool 200 is in the production position for taking a workpiece, so as to facilitate production.

When the workpiece feeding of one workpiece feeding tool 200 is completed at the workpiece feeding position and the workpiece taking of another workpiece feeding tool 200 is completed at the production position, the turntable structure 100 drives the plurality of workpiece feeding tools 200 to rotate by a preset angle, at this time, another workpiece feeding tool 200 moves to the workpiece feeding position, one workpiece feeding tool 200 moves to the production position, the other workpiece feeding tool 200 feeds the workpiece at the workpiece feeding position, and one workpiece feeding tool 200 takes the workpiece at the production position. After the workpiece loading and taking are completed, the turntable structure 100 drives one workpiece loading fixture 200 to move to the workpiece loading position, and the other workpiece loading fixture 200 moves to the production position. The parts 40 are transported by the circulation. It should be noted that the principle of the remaining upper tool 200 is substantially the same as that of the two upper tools 200, and the description thereof is omitted.

Specifically, the turntable structure 100 includes a mounting assembly 110 and a turntable frame 120, the mounting assembly 110 is mounted on a reference surface, and the turntable frame 120 is rotatably disposed on the mounting assembly 110. The mounting assembly 110 is capable of driving the turret frame 120 in rotation. The reference surface is the mounting surface of the upper turntable system 10, and may be the ground or the platform surface, etc. The turntable frame 120 has an even number of mounting portions oppositely disposed, and each mounting portion mounts one upper tool 200.

That is, the installation positions are arranged in pairs, and the two installation positions are in a group and used for installing the upper tool 200 and further installing the same type of component 40. When the mounting assembly 110 drives the turntable frame 120 to rotate, one of the upper tooling assemblies 200 carried by the oppositely arranged mounting positions is in the upper position, and the other one is in the production position. The workpiece loading tool 200 loads workpieces at a workpiece loading position and takes workpieces at a production position. When the workpiece loading and removal operations are completed, the mounting assembly 110 drives the turret frame 120 to rotate so that the other of the workpiece loading devices 200, which is subsequently carried opposite the set-up mounting location, is in a workpiece loading position, one of which is in a production position. One of the upper part tools 200 corresponding to the two opposite installation positions is used for installing the part 40, and the other part 40 is taken out.

In the present embodiment, the description will be given taking an example in which the turntable frame 120 has four attachment portions. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1, the turntable frame 120 has four oppositely disposed mounting locations, namely, a side, B side, C side, and D side, wherein the a side is disposed opposite to the B side, the C side is disposed opposite to the D side, and the a side, the B side, the C side, and the D side are four surfaces of the turntable frame 120. The A side and the B side are provided with the same type of parts 40, and the C side and the D side are provided with the same type of parts 40. When the mounting assembly 110 drives the turntable frame 120 to rotate, the positions of the sides a, B, C and D can be adjusted.

In fig. 11, the gripper 50 of the robot grips the component 40, and performs a component pickup operation of the component 40.

When the A side is in the workpiece loading position, the B side is in the production position, the operator stands on the A side for loading, and the robot simultaneously grabs the part 40 on the B side for taking the workpiece. After the component 40 on the side B is completely grabbed, the mounting assembly 110 drives the rotating frame to rotate, so that the side a moves to the production position and the side B moves to the upper position. And (4) enabling the operator to pick up the part on the side B, enabling the robot to grab the part 40 on the side A to take the part, and repeating the steps.

That is, the a side and the B side are the tooling 200 for installing the parts required by the vehicle of the vehicle type, the c side and the D side are the tooling 200 for installing the parts required by the vehicle of the other vehicle type, and the tooling is used for installing the parts 40 required by the vehicle of the vehicle type.

Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the turret frame 120 may have more sides for carrying more vehicle models of parts 40 to increase the types of vehicle production. If the production is not large, the A side, the B side, the C side and the D side can also bear parts 40 corresponding to four vehicle types. When the A-type vehicle is produced, the part can be placed at the left part placing position in fig. 2, and the part 40 can be grabbed by the robot when the part is rotated to the right part producing position. After the grabbing is completed, the side A rotates to the left workpiece-loading position to load workpieces.
