Description

Material picking device for automatic warehouse system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of material picking devices, in particular to a material picking device for an automatic storage system.
Background
Warehouse management is of considerable importance to many industries. Particularly, for enterprises with various materials and huge material storage quantity, if the materials can be properly classified and placed at proper positions, the storage space can be brought into maximum benefit, and the searching time is reduced.
Taking the surface mount technology (also called SMT, surface Mount Technology) as an example, the surface mount technology is a basic industry in the field of electronic manufacturing, and warehouse management is a very important part of the surface mount technology in the process, and mainly includes the steps of feeding, discharging, returning, feeding and the like.
However, most of existing warehouse material sending systems adopt paper material sheets and manual identification searching methods, so that the work efficiency is low, the error rate is high, the real-time updating performance is poor, the requirements on the operation skills of operators are great, and the operators can effectively carry out processes such as feeding and discharging only by training a skilled person for a long time.
Furthermore, in order to effectively and accurately store the materials in a classified manner, the storage positions of the materials in different types are mostly fixedly arranged, and in order to skillfully and accurately perform process operations such as feeding, discharging and the like, the technical requirements on operators are further improved.
Moreover, due to the characteristics of mass, multiple varieties and the like in the electronic product production industry, more materials are used; if the material management and transfer are performed manually, the searching is difficult and the time is wasted. Therefore, automation of material storage, transmission and transportation is considered, so that the time for searching and acquiring materials is shortened, the logistics speed is improved, and the production efficiency is improved.
At present, there is a storage and transportation device for automatic warehouse in the market, which comprises a warehouse cabinet, a guide rail, an access device, a first transportation module, a second transportation module and a clamping module. The storage device takes out the articles from the storage cabinet, and then the articles are conveyed to the conveying module through the guide rail so as to finish the action of taking the articles. The storage device can also take out the object from the first conveying module, and then carry the object to the storage cabinet through the guide rail so as to finish the storage action. The clamping module clamps a plurality of objects in a certain material box on the first conveying module and places the objects in the certain material box on the second conveying module.
However, in the process of picking materials out, because the gripping module often shifts the moving path of the objects when the gripping module moves the objects, the gripping module cannot accurately place the objects in one or more material boxes on the first conveying module in the plurality of object placement positions of the plurality of material boxes on the second conveying module in sequence, so before the objects are placed in the plurality of object placement positions of the plurality of material boxes on the second conveying module, the positions of the objects must be manually adjusted to accurately place the objects in the plurality of object placement positions of the plurality of material boxes on the second conveying module. Further, after a certain bin of the second transport module is filled with items, the second transport module must move the next bin to the fixed point so that the pick-up module continues to place the remaining items in the certain bin on the first transport module in the next bin of the second transport module. The operation mode has low material picking speed and poor efficiency.
After all the material boxes on the second conveying module are filled with the articles for shipment, the rest articles in the plurality of material boxes on the first conveying module become stock articles. The problem is that the plurality of material boxes on the first conveying module are not filled with the objects, and because the clamping module cannot place the plurality of objects in one of the two material boxes of the first conveying module in the other one, the plurality of material boxes which are not filled with the objects still have a plurality of idle spaces, and the problem that the excessive storage spaces are occupied by the excessive material boxes is also derived, so that the warehouse management efficiency is reduced.
In addition, when the article is used for a long time, two side edges of the article are inevitably warped at a certain position. If the area of the warping portion is larger than the allowable area of the two positioning plates, the width of the warping portion is larger than the distance between the two positioning plates. Unfortunately, if the clamping module clamps the object, the warpage portions of the two sides of the object are just at the bottom end, the warpage portions of the two sides of the object will be clamped on the two positioning plates, and cannot smoothly enter the object placement position between the two positioning plates.

Three modes of operation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
First mode of operation: as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the control unit 80 controls the mechanical arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the second material boxes 33, and the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the second material boxes 33 to obtain a first optical positioning signal 63 and transmit the first optical positioning signal 63 to the control unit 80. The control unit 80 calculates the correct orientation of the object placement location according to the first optical positioning signal 63. Next, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the control unit 80 controls the mechanical arm 52 to move to a position above one of the two positioning plates 40 of the first material box 31 (the moving path thereof is shown by arrow a in fig. 17), and the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of one of the two positioning plates 40 of the first material box 31 to obtain a second optical positioning signal 64 and transmits the second optical positioning signal 64 to the control unit 80. The control unit 80 calculates the correct orientation of the object according to the second optical positioning signal 64. As shown in fig. 10, the control unit 80 precisely controls the robot arm 52 to align the object 105 according to the calculated correct orientation of the object, so that the collet 53 precisely extracts the object 105. As shown in fig. 11 and 12, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move toward the calibration module 70 (the moving path is shown by arrow B in fig. 17), so that the chuck 53 moves the object 105 into the measurement space 73, the optical reader 60 optically reads the second identification reflective portion of the calibration module 70 to obtain a third optical positioning signal 65 and sends the third optical positioning signal 65 to the control unit 80, and the control unit 80 records that the clamping module 50 actually moves the object 105 to the calibration module 70 according to the third optical positioning signal 65. When the object 105 is moved to the measurement space 73, the calibration module 70 measures whether the object 105 deviates from the correct movement path to obtain a measurement value and transmits the measurement value to the control unit 80, and the control unit 80 calculates a deviation value between the object 105 and the correct movement path according to the measurement value. More specifically, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, when the object 105 is moved to the measurement space 73, the bottom end of the object 105 is located in the first ranging range and the second ranging range, the first ranging module 711 measures the distance between the object 105 and the first rangefinder 71 to obtain a first measured value 712 and sends the first measured value 712 to the control unit 80, and the second ranging module 721 measures the distance between the object 105 and the second rangefinder 72 to obtain a second measured value 722 and sends the second measured value 722 to the control unit 80. The control unit 80 calculates a deviation value according to the first measurement value 712 and the second measurement value 722, wherein the deviation value is one half of the absolute value of the difference value between the first measurement value 712 and the second measurement value 722. As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to slightly adjust the extending distance according to the calculated deviation value and the correct orientation of the object placement position, so that the object 105 on the chuck 53 can return to the correct moving path, and then moves from the correction module 70 to above the object placement position via the correct moving path (the moving path is shown by arrow C in fig. 17) and places the object 105 precisely at the object placement position.
Second mode of operation: the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34, and the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63 and transmit the first optical positioning signal 63 to the control unit 80. The subsequent actions are similar to the first mode of operation, with the difference that: first, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to one of the first material boxes 31, wherein the moving paths above the two positioning plates 40 are slightly different (the moving paths are shown by arrow D in fig. 17); secondly, the object is placed between two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34, so that the correct moving path is longer than the first operation mode (the moving path is shown by arrows C and D in fig. 17).
The invention can correct the moving path of the object 105 through the first operation mode and the second operation mode, and accurately place a plurality of objects 105 in the two first material boxes 31 and 32 on the first conveying module 10 in the object placement positions of the two second material boxes 33 and 34 on the second conveying module 20 in sequence, thereby accelerating the speed of picking out materials and improving the efficiency of picking out materials.
Third mode of operation: the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32, and the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63 and transmits the first optical positioning signal 63 to the control unit 80. The subsequent actions are similar to the first mode of operation, with the difference that: first, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to one of the first material boxes 31, wherein the moving paths above the two positioning plates 40 are slightly different (the moving paths are shown by arrow F in fig. 17); secondly, the object is placed between two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32, so that the correct moving path is completely different from the first operation mode and the second operation mode (the moving path is shown by arrow G in fig. 17).
The present invention can correct the moving path of the objects 105 through the third operation mode, and accurately place the plurality of objects 105 of one first material box 31 of the first conveying module 10 in the object placement position of the other first material box 32 in sequence, so that one first material box 31 can be refilled with objects 105 without idle space, and the other first material box 32 is cleared to be removed from the warehouse 101, thereby reducing the number of material boxes, reducing the occupied storage space and improving the warehouse management efficiency.
It should be noted that, when the optical reader 60 performs the optical reading operation, the light emitting portion 61 emits light, wherein the first identifying reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 or the second identifying reflective portion of the calibration module 70 reflects the light back to the light receiving portion 62 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63, the second optical positioning signal 64 or the third optical positioning signal 65. Preferably, the light emitting part 61 is a flash lamp, and only when the optical reading operation is performed, the light can be emitted for a short time to achieve the optical reading effect, so that the power consumption is reduced.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, a plurality of sensing positioning structures 301 are respectively disposed outside the two first material boxes 31, 32 and the two second material boxes 33, 34, the sensing positioning structures 301 are convex columns or grooves, and a third identification reflecting portion 302 is respectively disposed on the sensing positioning structures 301.
In the first operation mode, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the second material boxes 33, the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the second material boxes 33, and the optical reader 60 also optically reads the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of one of the second material boxes 33 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63 and transmit the first optical positioning signal 63 to the control unit 80. In other words, the first optical positioning signal 63 includes the reading result of the optical reader 60 optically reading the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the second material boxes 33 and the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of one of the second material boxes 33. Therefore, the control unit 80 can more precisely calculate the correct orientation of the object placement position according to the first optical positioning signal 63. Next, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the control unit 80 controls the mechanical arm 52 to move to a position above two positioning plates 40 of one of the first material boxes 31 (the moving path is shown by arrow a in fig. 17), the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of two positioning plates 40 of one of the first material boxes 31, and the optical reader 60 also optically reads the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of one of the first material boxes 31 to obtain the second optical positioning signal 64 and transmit to the control unit 80. In other words, the second optical positioning signal 64 includes the optical reader 60 optically reading the reading result of the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of one of the first material boxes 31 and the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of one of the first material boxes 31. The control unit 80 can more precisely calculate the correct orientation of the object according to the second optical positioning signal 64.
In the second operation mode, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34, the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34, and the optical reader 60 optically reads the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of the other second material box 34 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63 and transmit the first optical positioning signal 63 to the control unit 80. In other words, the first optical positioning signal 63 includes the reading result of the optical reader 60 optically reading the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other second material box 34 and the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of the other second material box 34. Therefore, the control unit 80 can more precisely calculate the correct orientation of the object placement position according to the first optical positioning signal 63.
In the third operation mode, the control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to move to the upper side of the two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32, the optical reader 60 optically reads the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32, and the optical reader 60 optically reads the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of the other first material box 32 to obtain the first optical positioning signal 63 and transmit to the control unit 80. In other words, the first optical positioning signal 63 includes the optical reader 60 optically reading the reading result of the first identification reflective portion 41 of the two positioning plates 40 of the other first material box 32 and the third identification reflective portion 302 of the sensing positioning structure 301 of the other first material box 32. Therefore, the control unit 80 can more precisely calculate the correct orientation of the object placement position according to the first optical positioning signal 63.
Preferably, the control unit 80 is capable of controlling the robot 52 to correct any five coordinates of the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, a-axis, B-axis, and C-axis of the object 105 (i.e., five-axis correction), thereby more finely adjusting the angle of the object 105 such that the area of the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the rotated object 105A is completely equal to the allowable area 42A.
As shown in fig. 18, 19 and 20, in the second embodiment, two first identifying and reflecting portions 41A are disposed on top of each positioning plate 40A, the optical reader 60A optically reads the first identifying and reflecting portions 41A of the other first material box 32 or one of the second material boxes 33, 34, the control unit 80 calculates the area of the space between the first identifying and reflecting portions 41A of the other first material box 32 or one of the second material boxes 33, 34 according to the first optical positioning signal 63, and defines a tolerable area 42A accordingly; the first distance meter 71A has a third distance measuring module 713, the third distance measuring module 713 having a third distance measuring range; the second rangefinder 72A has a fourth range module 723, and the fourth range module 723 has a fourth range. The distance between the first ranging module 711 and the third ranging module 713 and the distance between the second ranging module 721 and the fourth ranging module 723 are equal to the distance between the two first identification reflective portions 41A of each positioning plate 40A, and the distance between the first ranging instrument 71A and the second ranging instrument 72A is equal to the distance between two positioning plates 40A. The third ranging module 713 is an infrared ranging module or a laser ranging module, and the fourth ranging module 723 is an infrared ranging module or a laser ranging module.
As shown in fig. 21 and 22, when the object 105A is moved to the measurement space 73, the bottom end of the object 105A is located in the first to fourth ranging ranges, the third ranging module 713 measures the distance between the object 105A and the first rangefinder 71A to obtain a third measured value 714 and transmits the third measured value 714 to the control unit 80, the fourth ranging module 723 measures the distance between the object 105A and the second rangefinder 72A to obtain a fourth measured value 724 and transmits the fourth measured value 724 to the control unit 80, and the control unit 80 calculates the actual area of the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105A according to the first to fourth measured values 712, 722, 714, 724. When the actual area of the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105A is larger than the allowable area 42A, the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105A are severely warped, so that the bottom width of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105A is larger than the spacing distance of the two positioning plates 40A of the other first material box 32 or one second material box 33, 34. The control unit 80 controls the robot arm 52 to rotate the object 105A, thereby adjusting the angle of the object 105 such that the area of the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the rotated object 105A is equal to or smaller than the allowable area 42A. At this time, the width of the bottom ends of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the rotated object 105 is equal to or smaller than the spacing distance of the two positioning plates 40A of the other first material box 32 or one second material box 33, 34. Even if a certain portion of the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105 is severely warped, the present invention can align the object placement position with the portion having no warpage or little warpage by adjusting the angle of the object 105, so that the object 105 can smoothly enter the object placement position to prevent the two sides 1051A, 1052A of the object 105A from being stuck on the two positioning plates 40A.
In addition, as shown in fig. 23, when the object 105 is an SMT-specific tray, the object 105 may also be laid flat in the first material box 31.
Also, as shown in fig. 24, in the first material box 31, one row of objects 105 is a material tray dedicated to SMT, and another row of objects 105B may be a cylindrical, rectangular or other box.
Referring to fig. 25, fig. 25 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in the structure: the gripping module 50A uses a conventional four-axis robot arm 52A; a screw 521A rotatably disposed at the second end of the four-axis robot arm 52A and penetrating the top and bottom thereof and electrically connected to the control unit 80; collet 53A is disposed at the bottom end of screw 521A; the first and second rangefinders 71B and 72B are fixed to the sides of the second end of the four-axis robot arm 52A.
The difference between the three operation modes of the third embodiment and the three operation modes of the first embodiment is that: control unit 80 controls downward movement of screw 521A such that collet 53A precisely retrieves article 105; the control unit 80 controls the screw 521A to move upward so that the collet 53A moves the object 105 into the measurement space. As for the rest of the three operation modes of the third embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and will not be described here again. Accordingly, the third embodiment achieves all the effects of the first embodiment.
Referring to fig. 26 and 27, fig. 26 is a schematic diagram illustrating the overall operation of another automatic warehouse system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 27 is a perspective view of a pick module 50B according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Another automated warehouse system 100A includes only a plurality of warehouse cabinets 101A and a plurality of sorting devices 1A for the automated warehouse system, and does not include the guide rail 102 and the access device 103.

The area of the layer bin placement area 1011A is relatively large, and a plurality of bins 104A may be arranged in a plurality of rows, each row having a plurality of bins 104A.
The overall structure of the material pickup device 1A for an automatic warehouse system of the fourth embodiment and the overall structure of the material pickup device 1 for an automatic warehouse system of the first embodiment have at least the following three differences.
First, the first horizontal conveying sections 11A of the first conveying modules 10A of the fourth embodiment are gapped and not connected to each other, so that a first conveying system is not generated. Thus, the first horizontal conveyor portion 11A functions to convey two bins 104A directly from the bin 101A to the two first picking portions 12A, 13A. That is, the first horizontal conveying portion 11A of the fourth embodiment is identical to the access device 103 of the automatic warehouse system 100 of the first embodiment, or is a storage structure with a recognition transmitting portion D on a partition, as shown in fig. 29.
Second, the second conveying module 20A of the fourth embodiment does not include a second culling section. Therefore, in addition to maintaining the end-to-end connection of the second horizontal conveying portions 21A of the second conveying modules 20A to form the second conveying system, when the second horizontal conveying portions 21A convey the two material boxes 104A to the side of the gripping module 50B, the second horizontal conveying portions 21A immediately stop operation, so that the gripping module 50B accurately places the plurality of objects 105 in the two first material boxes 31, 32 on the first conveying module 10A at the object placement positions of the two second material boxes 33, 34 on the second conveying module 20A. After the above-described operation is completed, the second horizontal conveyance unit 21A can be restarted. The second horizontal conveying section 21A of the fourth embodiment is a roller bar.
Further, the overall structure of the base 51B of the fourth embodiment is greatly different from that of the base 51 of the first embodiment. More specifically, the base 51B of the fourth embodiment includes a plurality of bases 511B, a sliding rail 517B and a sliding seat 518B. The base 511B is disposed on a floor. The sliding rail 517B is disposed on the base 511B.

The four-axis robot 52A is horizontally movable along the slide rails 517B by the slide 518B.
Referring to fig. 28, fig. 28 is a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The base 51C of the fifth embodiment is significantly different in structure from the base 51 of the first embodiment. More specifically, the base 51C of the fifth embodiment includes a body 511C, a fixed plate 516C, a moving device 517C and a standard sensor 518C. The fixing plate 516C is disposed on top of the vehicle body 511C, and the four-axis robot arm 52A is disposed on the fixing plate 516C. The moving device 517C is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 511C. The standard sensor 518C is disposed on one side of the vehicle body 511C, extends to the bottom of the vehicle body 511C, and is electrically connected to the control unit 80. The standard sensor 518C is capable of sensing a belt 200 on the ground and obtaining a sensing result. The standard sensor 518C returns the sensing result to the control unit 80, and the control unit 80 controls the movement device 517C to operate by the sensing result so that the vehicle body 511C can move along the extending direction of the belt body 200. Preferably, the belt body 200 is a magnetic strip or a colored strip, the standard sensor 518C is a magnetic strip standard sensor 518C or a color standard sensor 518C, and the moving device 517C is a track or a roller.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art will readily recognize that variations or substitutions are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
