The cover plate picking module 20 includes a first picking head 21 and a picking drive module 22 . The picking drive module 22 can drive the first picking head 21 to move relative to the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30 .

The material taking drive module 22 includes an X-axis drive module 221 and a Z-axis drive module 222 . The X-axis drive module 221 can drive the Z-axis drive module 222 to move along the X-axis direction, and the Z-axis drive module 222 can drive the first material taking head 21 to move along the Z-axis direction.

The first material picking head 21 is a clamping head or a suction head. Specifically, a finger cylinder 211 is provided on the clamping head. The driving end of the finger cylinder 211 is connected to a clamping claw 212 that can grab the cover plate 51. If the first material picking head 21 is a suction head, a plurality of suction cups that can suck the cover plate 51 can be provided on the suction head.

The utility model also includes a machine platform (not shown), and a carrier conveying mechanism 60 arranged on the machine platform, the carrier separation and flipping mechanism 10 is arranged above the carrier conveying mechanism 60, and the carrier separation and flipping mechanism 10 is placed on the machine platform, the cover plate picking module 20 can take out the cover plate 51 at the upper end of the combined carrier 50 on the carrier conveying mechanism 60 and transfer it to the top of the cover plate flipping unloading module 30. It can be understood that the carrier separation and flipping mechanism 10 can also be directly supported on the ground, thereby eliminating the need for a machine platform.

The carrier conveying mechanism 60 is a single conveyor belt. It is understandable that the present invention may also adopt two independent conveyor belts. For example, one conveyor belt is used for loading the combined carrier 50 and unloading the base 52, and the other conveyor belt is used for unloading the cover plate 51.

It can be understood that the carrier conveying mechanism 60 can also adopt a first material robot and a second material robot. The first material robot is used to convey the combined carrier 50 to one side of the cover plate picking module 20. When the cover plate picking module 20 takes away the cover plate 51 on the upper end of the combined carrier 50, the first material robot transfers the base 52 to the next workstation. The second robot is used to receive the cover plate 51 output by the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30 and transfer the cover plate 51 to the next workstation.

The frame 11 is also provided with a carrier material positioning module 40, which is used to position the combined carrier 50 on the carrier conveying mechanism 60. The cover plate picking module 20 can take out the cover plate 51 at the upper end of the combined carrier 50 on the carrier material positioning module 40 and transfer it to the top of the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30.

The carrier incoming material positioning module 40 includes a positioning seat 41, and a channel 42, a first positioning component 43 and a second positioning component 44 arranged on the positioning seat 41. The positioning seat 41 is detachably connected to the frame 11 by screws. The channel 42 can be used for the combined carrier 50 to move along the Y-axis direction. The first positioning component 43 and the second positioning component 44 are spaced apart along the conveying side of the channel 42, and the second positioning component 44 is arranged at one end of the channel 42 close to the incoming material direction. The first positioning component 43 can limit the movement of the combined carrier 50 in the channel 42, and the second positioning component 44 can separate two adjacent combined carriers 50.

The first positioning assembly 43 and the second positioning assembly 44 are respectively arranged on both sides of the channel 42. The first positioning assembly 43 includes a first positioning rod 431 and a first cylinder 432. The first positioning rod 431 is slidably connected to the positioning seat 41. The first cylinder 432 can drive the first positioning rod 431 to extend into the channel 42 along the X-axis direction to limit the combined carrier 50 in the channel 42 to move along the Y-axis direction.

The second positioning assembly 44 includes a second positioning rod 441 and a second cylinder 442. The second positioning rod 441 is slidably connected to the positioning seat 41. The second cylinder 442 can drive the second positioning rod 441 to extend into the channel 42 along the X-axis direction to separate two adjacent combined carriers 50. Specifically, a V-shaped tip 4411 is provided at one end of the second positioning rod 441 close to the channel 42. The width of the V-shaped tip 4411 gradually decreases toward the extension direction of the second positioning rod 441. When working, the second cylinder 442 drives the second positioning rod 441 to extend into the channel 42. The positioning rod 441 extends into the channel 42, so that the V-shaped tip 4411 extends into the V-shaped groove 53 formed between two adjacent combination carriers 50. When the cover plate 51 on the frontmost combination carrier 50 is removed, when the carrier conveying mechanism 60 drives the frontmost base 52 to move, the V-shaped tip 4411 will block the movement of the next combination carrier 50, thereby separating the two adjacent combination carriers 50, and then separating the two adjacent bases 52, making it convenient for the subsequent first positioning rod 431 to extend into the channel 42 to block the movement of the next combination carrier 50.

The channel 42 is provided with a trumpet-shaped feed opening 421 at one end close to the incoming material direction, and the width of the feed opening 421 gradually increases toward the incoming material direction; by providing the trumpet-shaped feed opening 421, the combined carrier 50 can enter the channel 42 more smoothly by utilizing the guiding effect.

A first sensor 45 for detecting a base 52 in the channel 42 is provided above the end of the channel 42 away from the direction of incoming materials; when the first sensor 45 detects that there is no base 52 in the channel 42, the first positioning rod 431 extends into the channel 42 to block the approaching combination carrier 50; a second sensor 46 for detecting a combination carrier 50 in the channel 42 is provided between the first positioning component 43 and the second positioning component 44, and when the second sensor 46 detects the combination carrier 50, the second positioning rod 441 extends into the channel 42 to separate two adjacent combination carriers 50.

The base 34 is provided with a third sensor 35 for detecting the cover plate 51 under the second material taking head 31 ; when the third sensor 35 detects the cover plate 51 , the carrier conveying mechanism 60 simultaneously conveys the combined carrier 50 , the base 52 and the cover plate 51 to the next station.

The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the carrier conveying mechanism 60 conveys a plurality of combined carriers 50 arranged in a straight line along the Y-axis direction, and the plurality of combined carriers 50 enter the channel 42 in turn, the first cylinder 432 drives the first positioning rod 431 to extend into the channel 42, and the movement is stopped when the frontmost combined carrier 50 abuts against the first positioning rod 431, at which time the second sensor 46 detects the combined carrier 50, and the second cylinder 442 drives the second positioning rod 441 to extend into the channel 42, so that the V-shaped tip 4411 is inserted into the V-shaped groove 53 between the frontmost combined carrier 50 and the rear combined carrier 50, separating the frontmost combined carrier 50 from the rear combined carrier 50, and the material taking drive module 22 drives the first material taking head 21 to move downward, takes out the cover plate 51 at the upper end of the frontmost combined carrier 50 and transfers it to the top of the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30, at which time the product on the cover plate 51 will also follow the cover 4. When the cover plate 51 moves, the first material taking head 21 drives the cover plate 51 to move down a distance, and the second material taking head 31 clamps the cover plate 51. The flip driving module 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The rotating shaft 32 drives the second material taking head 31 and the cover plate 51 to rotate 180 degrees synchronously, so that the top surface 511 of the cover plate 51 faces downward, and the second material taking head 31 releases the cover plate 51, so that the cover plate 51 falls onto the carrier conveying mechanism 60. After the third sensor 35 detects the cover plate 51, the first cylinder 432 drives the first positioning rod 431 to withdraw from the channel 42, and the carrier conveying mechanism 60 simultaneously conveys the cover plate 51 and the base 52 to the next workstation. When the first sensor 45 does not detect the front end base 52, the first positioning rod 431 extends into the channel 42 again, and the second positioning rod 441 withdraws from the channel 42, and the carrier conveying mechanism 60 drives the next combined carrier 50 to abut against the first positioning rod 431, and repeats the above cycle.

In summary, the utility model sets a cover plate picking module 20 and a cover plate flipping and unloading module 30 on the frame 11, uses the cover plate picking module 20 to take out the cover plate 51 on the upper end of the combined carrier 50, and transfers the cover plate 51 to the top of the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30, and then uses the cover plate flipping and unloading module 30 to receive the cover plate 51 output by the cover plate picking module 20, and unloads the cover plate 51 after flipping it at a certain angle, so that the top surface 511 of the cover plate 51 faces downward, thereby realizing the automatic separation and flipping of the cover plate 51 on the combined carrier 50, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
