在工作过程中,机器人将料盒200放置在载料台31的置料空间40内,第一驱动机构11驱动两个夹爪机构12相向运动,即,第一驱动机构11驱动左侧的夹爪机构12相对载料台31向右运动,同时驱动右侧的夹爪机构12相对载料台31向左运动,使得两个夹爪机构12分别与料盒200的左右两侧抵接并使料盒200左右移动至合适的位置,以在左右方向上将料盒200定位。而第二驱动机构23驱动限位机构22靠近限位板21,即,驱动限位机构22向后运动,进而推动料盒200向后运动直至与限位板21抵接,进而使得限位机构22和限位板21分别与料盒200的前后两侧抵接,以在前后方向上将料盒200定位,进而从前后左右多方位的方向将料盒200准确地定位,完成自动上料过程。并且,本实施例中,升降装置30中的升降驱动件32还可驱动载料台31上下升降,以切换不同高度的wafer架300对准加工设备上料口,实现连续上料过程。可以理解地,待加工完成后,第一驱动机构11分别驱动两个夹爪机构12相背运动,即,第一驱动机构11驱动左侧的夹爪机构12相对载料台31向左运动,同时驱动右侧的夹爪机构12相对载料台31向右运动,使得两个夹爪机构12将料盒200松开,而第二驱动机构23则驱动限位机构22远离限位板21,即,驱动限位机构22向前运动,限位机构22将料盒200松开,方便机器人将料盒200取走,完成自动下料过程。
本实施例上下料设备100可实现料盒200的准确定位以及自动上下料过 程,校正机器人上料偏差,自动化程度高,既能避免人工参与,降低产品的污染风险,又能提高生产效率,降低人工劳动强度。
本实施例的夹爪机构12包括第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122,第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122沿第一方向间隔布置于置料空间40的同一侧;载料台31的边缘开设有供第一夹爪121滑动的第一滑槽311,第一夹爪121穿过第一滑槽311伸出载料台31的载料面;第二夹爪122位于第一夹爪121朝向置料空间40的一侧,载料台31开设有供第二夹爪122滑动的第二滑槽312,第二夹爪122能穿过第二滑槽312伸出载料台31的载料面或缩回第二滑槽312内。

一般料盒200有8寸和12寸两种尺寸,待加工物料为8寸料盒200时,将8寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,第一驱动机构11驱动两个第二夹爪122相向运动,此时,第二夹爪122穿过第二滑槽312伸出载料台31的载料面,可以理解地,载料台31的载料面为载料台31的顶面,以在第一驱动机构11驱动两个第二夹爪122相向运动的过程中,两个第二夹爪122能分别与料盒200的左右两侧抵接并在左右方向上将料盒200定位。待加工物料为12寸料盒200时,将12寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,为了避免第二夹爪122对料盒200造成干涉,此时,第二夹爪122缩回第二滑槽312内,第一驱动机构11驱动两个第一夹爪121相向运动,两个第一夹爪121能分别与料盒200的左右两侧抵接并在左右方向上将料盒200定位。通过设置第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122,使得本实施例上下料设备100能适用于两种尺寸不同的料盒 200,兼容性好。
本实施例中,第一驱动机构11包括两个第一驱动组件,两个第一驱动组件与两个夹爪机构12一一对应布置;第一驱动组件包括第一驱动件111和与第一驱动件111连接的第一驱动板112,第一驱动件111安装在载料台31的底面;各夹爪机构12中,第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122均安装在对应的第一驱动板112上;第一驱动件111用于驱动第一驱动板112,以带动第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122相对载料台31向靠近或远离置料空间40的方向同步运动。
具体地,第一驱动件111可采用现有技术中的气缸,以下将第一驱动件111称为第一气缸。各夹爪机构12对应设置有第一驱动组件,各第一驱动组件包括第一气缸和第一驱动板112。工作时,两个第一气缸分别驱动对应的第一驱动板112运动,进而分别带动两个夹爪机构12相向或相背运动。各夹爪机构12中,第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122均安装在第一驱动板112上,结构紧凑。在第一气缸驱动第一驱动板112时,各夹爪机构12的第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122则相对载料台31向靠近或远离置料空间40的方向同步运动,以通过两个左右相对设置的第一夹爪121将尺寸较大的料盒200定位或放松,或者通过两个左右相对设置的第二夹爪122将尺寸较小的料盒200定位或放松。
如图1至图5所示,本实施例的第一夹爪121包括第一夹板1211,第一夹板1211的下端安装在第一驱动板112上,第一夹板1211竖向穿过第一滑槽311,且第一夹板1211的上端伸出载料台31的载料面。进一步地,第一夹爪121还包括第一滚轮1212,第一夹板1211靠近其上端的位置开设有第一安装槽12111,第一滚轮1212可转动地安装于第一安装槽12111内,第一滚轮1212的转轴竖向设置,且第一滚轮1212的轮缘伸出第一夹板1211面向置料空间40的一侧并用于抵接物料。可以理解地,第一滚轮1212水平放置,位于右侧位置的第一夹爪121中第一滚轮1212的轮缘伸出第一夹板1211的左侧面并用于抵接料盒200,位于左侧位置的第一夹爪121中第一滚轮1212的轮缘伸出第一夹板1211的右侧面并用于抵接料盒200。
在第一气缸驱动第一驱动板112左右运动的过程中,第一夹板1211可与料盒200的左侧或右侧抵接或脱离抵接,以对应将料盒200推至准备位置或放松料盒200。而料盒200在被限位机构22推动料盒200运动的过程中,第 一滚轮1212的轮缘可与料盒200抵接,并随着限位机构22的运动而滚动,减少料盒200运动时第一夹板1211与料盒200侧壁之间的摩擦力,利于料盒200的运动。
本实施例中,第二夹爪122包括第二夹板1221和安装座1222,安装座1222安装在第一驱动板112上,第二夹板1221的下端通过一转动轴1223铰接于安装座1222,以使第二夹板1221能相对安装座1222在抵接位置与避让位置之间转动,第二夹板1221处于抵接位置时竖向穿过第二滑槽312并伸出载料台31的载料面,第二夹板1221处于避让位置时水平设置并缩回第二滑槽312内。
如图1至图3、图5所示,待加工物料为8寸料盒200时,将8寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,此时,第二夹板1221相对安装座1222转动至抵接位置,第二夹板1221数显穿过第二滑槽312并伸出载料台31的载料面,两个第一气缸分别驱动对应的驱动板运动,进而分别带动两个第二夹板1221相向运动,第二夹板1221分别与料盒200的左右两侧抵接并在左右方向上将料盒200定位。如图1至图4所示,待加工物料为12寸料盒200时,将12寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,此时,第二夹板1221则被扳动,使其从抵接位置相对安装座1222转动至避让位置,从而将竖向放置的第二夹板1221切换为水平放置,第二夹板1221水平放置时则缩回第二滑槽312内,避免对12寸料盒200造成干涉,灵活方便。
进一步地,如图6至图8所示,安装座1222包括座体12221和两个安装耳12222,座体12221安装在第一驱动板112上,两个安装耳12222沿第二方向间隔设置于座体12221的两侧,转动轴1223的两端分别插设于两个安装耳12222内并与对应的安装耳12222铰接,座体12221及两个安装耳12222之间形成凹槽12223,第一夹板1211的下端伸入凹槽12223内,座体12221内形成有与凹槽12223连通的空腔12224;第二夹爪122还包括收容于空腔12224内的锁紧机构1224,锁紧机构1224用于与第一夹板1211配合,以在第一夹板1211处于抵接位置或避让位置时将第一夹板1211锁紧。
具体地,安装座1222的两个安装耳12222沿前后方向间隔设置于座体12221的两侧,第二夹板1221的转动轴1223水平放置,且转动轴1223的前后两端分别插设于两个安装耳12222内并与对应的安装耳12222铰接,以使 第二夹板1221能相对安装座1222转动。锁紧机构1224收容于座体12221的空腔12224内,在第一夹板1211相对安装座1222转动至抵接位置或避让位置时都能与第一夹板1211锁紧,防止第一夹板1211在没被扳动的情况下自行转动,保证第一夹板1211的正常使用。
锁紧机构1224包括弹性件12241和浮动块12242,弹性件12241的下端与空腔12224的底腔壁连接,弹性件12241的上端连接有浮动块12242;第一夹板1211的下端设置有伸入凹槽12223内的抵接块1225,抵接块1225位于转动轴1223的下方,抵接块1225的底部具有第一抵接面12251和第二抵接面12252,第一抵接面12251与第二抵接面12252圆弧过渡连接,且第一抵接面12251与转动轴1223之间的距离小于第二抵接面12252与转动轴1223之间的距离,第一夹板1211处于避让位置时浮动块12242与第一抵接面12251抵紧,第一夹板1211处于抵接位置时浮动块12242与第二抵接面12252抵紧。
本实施例的弹性件12241可采用现有技术中的弹簧,弹簧的下端与空腔12224的底腔壁连接,弹性件12241的上端连接有浮动块12242。连接于第一夹板1211下端的抵接块1225的底部形成第一抵接面12251和第二抵接面12252,其中,第一抵接面12251和第二抵接面12252均呈平面,第一抵接面12251与第二抵接面12252之间通过一圆弧面12253过渡连接,且第一抵接面12251与转动轴1223之间的距离较小,而第二抵接面12252与转动轴1223之间的距离较大,圆弧面12253到转动轴1223中心的距离可由第一抵接面12251至第二抵接面12252的方向逐渐扩大。如图8所示,当第二夹板1221由抵接位置转动至避让位置时,第二夹板1221则由竖向放置切换为水平放置,此时,浮动块12242在弹簧的作用下上浮并与第一抵接面12251抵紧,从而将第二夹板1221锁紧,使得第二夹爪122处于避让位置时能保持自锁。如图7所示,当第二夹板1221由避让位置转动至抵接位置,第二夹板1221则由水平放置切换为竖向放置,此时,浮动块12242受压后下沉,弹簧受压并顶住浮动块12242抵紧第二抵接面12252,从而将第二夹板1221锁紧,使得第二夹爪122处于抵接位置时能保持自锁状态。
本实施例的第二夹爪122还包括第二滚轮1226,第二夹板1221靠近其上端的位置开设有第二安装槽12211,第二滚轮1226可转动地安装于第二安装槽12211内,第二滚轮1226的转轴竖向设置,且第二滚轮1226的轮缘伸出 第二夹板1221面向置料空间40的一侧并用于抵接物料。可以理解地,第二滚轮1226水平放置,位于右侧位置的第二夹爪122中第二滚轮1226的轮缘伸出第二夹板1221的左侧面并用于抵接料盒200,位于左侧位置的第二夹爪122中第二滚轮1226的轮缘伸出第二夹板1221的右侧面并用于抵接料盒200。
在第一气缸驱动第一驱动板112左右运动的过程中,第二夹板1221可与料盒200的左侧或右侧抵接或脱离抵接,以对应将料盒200推至准备位置或放松料盒200。而料盒200在被限位机构22推动料盒200运动的过程中,第二滚轮1226的轮缘可与料盒200抵接,并随着限位机构22的运动而滚动,减少料盒200运动时第二夹板1221与料盒200侧壁之间的摩擦力,利于料盒200的运动。
如图1至图5所示,本实施例的各夹爪机构12中,第一夹爪121的数量为至少两个,至少两个第一夹爪121沿第二方向间隔布置,第一滑槽311的数量与第一夹爪121的数量一致且一一对应;第二夹爪122的数量为至少两个,至少两个第二夹爪122沿第二方向间隔布置,第二滑槽312的数量与第二夹爪122的数量一致且一一对应。在一实施例中,第一夹爪121的数量为两个,两个第一夹爪121沿前后方向间隔布置,第一滑槽311的数量也为两个,以供两个第一夹爪121一一对应地在第一滑槽311内滑动;第二夹爪122的数量为两个,两个第二夹爪122沿前后方向间隔布置,第二滑槽312的数量也为两个,以供两个第二夹爪122一一对应地在第二滑槽312内的滑动。
可以理解地,各夹爪机构12中,两个第一夹爪121和两个第二夹爪122均安装在第一驱动板112上,结构紧凑,且减少了零部件设计,简化了夹爪机构12的结构,并且,通过设置两个第一夹爪121及两个第二夹爪122,可以增加第一夹爪121或第二夹爪122与料盒200的抵接面积,方便快速推动料盒200,以将料盒200定位至准确位置。在其他实施例中,各夹爪机构12中,第一夹爪121及第二夹爪122的数量均为三个、四个或其他个数,第一夹爪121及第二夹爪122的数量可根据实际情况灵活设置,本实施例对第一夹爪121及第二夹爪122的数量不作限定。

待加工物料为8寸料盒200时,将8寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,第一驱动机构11驱动两个夹爪机构12在左右方向上将料盒200定位,而第二驱动机构23可驱动第二限位爪222靠近限位板21,以通过第二限位爪222与限位板21的配合在前后方向上将料盒200定位,将料盒200准确定位,实现料盒200的自动找正。待加工物料为12寸料盒200时,将12寸料盒200置于置料空间40内,第一驱动机构11驱动两个夹爪机构12在左右方向上将料盒200定位,而第二驱动机构23可驱动第一限位爪221靠近限位板21,以通过第一限位爪221与限位板21的配合在前后方向上将料盒200定位,将料盒200准确定位,实现料盒200的自动找正,进而使得本实施例上下料设备100能适用于两种尺寸不同的料盒200,兼容性好。

需要说明的是,为了扩展上下料设备100的兼容性,使其能适用超过两种以上,比如三种尺寸的料盒200,可在各夹爪机构12中增设第三夹爪,在限位机构22中增设第三限位爪,其中,第三夹爪可安装在第一驱动板112上,第三限位爪可安装在第二驱动板232上,第三夹爪可位于同侧设置的第一夹爪121和第二夹爪122之间,且第三夹爪与第二夹爪122的结构类似,可在避让位置和抵接位置之间转动,第三限位爪可位于第一限位爪221和第二限位爪222之间,使第三夹爪及第三限位爪适用于尺寸介于8寸-12寸之间的料盒200定位;或者,可使第三夹爪位于同侧设置的第二夹爪122朝向置料空间40的一侧,且第三夹爪与第二夹爪122的结构类似,可在避让位置和抵接位置之间转动,第三限位爪位于第二限位爪222朝向置料空间40的一侧,使第三夹爪及第三限位爪适用于尺寸小于8寸的料盒200定位。
