In addition, the efficiency of loading and unloading is greatly improved due to the synergistic effect of the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13. In addition, when the operation is stopped, the loading and unloading device can be retracted through the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13, and the space is not occupied any more.
In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3, the base support 11 of the base assembly comprises a mounting cavity for receiving the first axle joint 12. Specifically, the base support 11 includes a first fixing portion 111 and a second fixing portion 112, and the mounting surfaces of the first fixing portion 111 and the second fixing portion 112 are perpendicular to each other, that is, the base can be mounted and fixed by the first fixing portion 111, and the base assembly can also be mounted and fixed by the second fixing portion 112, so that mounting applications of different end surfaces can be realized, and mounting flexibility is improved.
The fixed part of the first shaft joint 12 is fixedly connected with the base support 11, and the torque output part is fixedly connected with the mechanical arm 14 at the rear end. Specifically, the first axle joint 12 includes a first motor 121, a first connecting flange 122 and a first reducer 123, wherein the first motor 121 may be a servo motor, a direct drive servo or a pneumatic motor, etc., the first motor 121 is mounted and fixed on the base support 11 of the base assembly through the first connecting flange 122, a torque input portion of the first reducer 123 is connected to an output end of the first motor 121, and a torque output portion of the first reducer 123 is fixedly connected to an axle joint connecting portion of the mechanical arm 14, that is, an end far away from the second axle joint 13.
By adding the first speed reducer 123 to the output end of the first motor 121, the output speed of the first shaft joint 12 can be made lower, and the output torque can be made larger, so that the performance of the tail end output can be improved, and the mechanical arm assembly with the rear end as an execution part can drive more expansion modules. Of course, the first reducer 123 may be omitted in certain applications, but this would result in a higher power first motor 121 being required to meet the torque output requirement.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the second shaft joint includes a second motor 131, a second connecting flange, and a second reducer 133. One end of the mechanical arm 14, which is equipped with the second shaft joint 13, is provided with a motor mounting hole perpendicular to the length direction of the mechanical arm 14, the diameter of the motor mounting hole is matched with the diameter of the outer periphery of the second motor 131, the second motor 131 passes through the motor mounting hole and is fixed with the mechanical arm 14 through a second connecting flange, and the second speed reducer 133 is positioned outside the motor mounting hole. The second motor 131 is mainly used for providing kinetic energy, and may be a servo motor, a direct-drive servo motor, a pneumatic motor, or the like. The second reducer 133 is used to convert the torque output from the second motor 131, and thus the output speed is reduced and the torque is increased, thereby improving the performance of the end output. In addition to the main components for realizing the functions, the second shaft joint 13 may further include auxiliary components such as a motor cover, a reducer cover, and a mechanical arm end cover, which are mainly used to protect the corresponding motor, reducer, and mechanical arm shaft ends and provide a clean working environment for the internal module.
In order to realize the fixed mounting of the robot arm 14 and the torque output portion of the first shaft joint 12 or the torque output portion of the second shaft joint 13, in each robot arm assembly, the shaft joint connecting portion of the robot arm 14 may include a reducer mounting hole and a reducer fixing portion 141 corresponding to the reducer mounting hole, wherein a central axis of the reducer mounting hole is parallel to a central axis of the motor mounting hole, the reducer fixing portion 141 protrudes out of the surface of the robot arm 14 at the reducer mounting hole, the first shaft joint 12 is fixed to the reducer fixing portion 141 of the robot arm 14 in such a manner that the first reducer 123 is fitted into the reducer mounting hole of the connected robot arm 14, and the second shaft joint 13 is fixed to the robot arm in such a manner that the second reducer 133 is fitted into the reducer mounting hole of the connected. Through the structure, the modularization of the speed reducer component can be realized, and the expansion of the multi-joint robot is facilitated.
Specifically, the shaft joint connecting portion of the mechanical arm 14 may be connected and fixed to the torque output portion of the first shaft joint 12 or the second shaft joint 13 by a screw, and of course, in practical applications, the shaft joint connecting portion of the mechanical arm 14 may also be connected by a transmission device such as a timing belt or a gear. In addition, the shaft joint connecting portion of the robot arm 14 and the torque output portion of the first shaft joint 12 or the second shaft joint 13 may be connected concentrically or eccentrically, depending on the actual application.
In a specific application, as shown in fig. 2, the multi-joint robot may include two arm assemblies, that is, two mechanical arms 14 and two second shaft joints 13, and one end of one mechanical arm 14 is connected to the other mechanical arm 14 through the second shaft joint 13. The multi-joint robot with the structure can be applied to occasions with small distance between stations.
Since the robot arm 14 itself has a certain weight, the robot arm 14 connected to the first axis joint 12 is required to bear more weight, and accordingly, in the above-described multi-joint robot, the structural strength of the robot arm 14 of the robot arm assembly connected to the first axis joint 12 may be made greater than that of the robot arm 14 of the other robot arm assembly (i.e., the two robot arms 14 may differ in size, material, and/or reinforcing structure, for example, the size of the robot arm 14 connected to the first axis joint 12 may be made greater than that of the other robot arm 14). Moreover, the output power of the first shaft joint 12 can be made larger than the output power of the second shaft joint 13, that is, the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 have different output powers, so that energy consumption and materials can be saved, and the cost can be saved. Of course, in practical applications, the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 may have the same output power, and the two mechanical arms 14 may also have the same structural strength.
In another embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 5, the loading and unloading device includes a base assembly and three arm assemblies to realize the movement of the material taking and placing mechanism and the material in a wider range. Of course, in practical applications, the multi-joint robot in the loading and unloading device may further include more than three robot arm assemblies to extend the material transfer range.

The material processing method based on the multi-axis robot comprises the following steps automatically executed under the control of the control device:
and (3) processing operation: processing the material on the processing station by a processing device;

and finishing the process after all the materials to be processed in the material groove are processed.
The following describes in detail a processing method of the multi-axis robot-based material processing system, which includes the following processes (taking glass processing as an example), with reference to fig. 11 to 15: the method comprises the steps of obtaining a first piece of glass from a material groove, placing the first piece of glass to a processing station, processing the first piece of glass on the processing station, obtaining a second piece of glass from the material groove, taking the first piece of glass from the processing station and placing the second piece of glass to the processing station, processing the second piece of glass on the processing station, placing the first piece of glass to the material groove, obtaining a third piece of glass from the material groove, and repeating the steps until all pieces of glass to be processed in the material groove are processed.
Specifically, the process of taking the first sheet of glass from the trough is as follows: referring to fig. 11 and 12, the loading and unloading device is controlled to start from an initial position (at the initial position, the multi-axis robot and the material taking and placing mechanism are attached to the base 50, wherein the material taking and placing mechanism is located on a side of the trough away from the processing station), the first axis joint 12 drives the large arm (i.e., the mechanical arm 14 in the mechanical arm assembly connected to the first axis joint 12) to rotate counterclockwise relative to the initial position through trajectory planning, the second axis joint 13 drives the small arm (i.e., the mechanical arm 14 in the mechanical arm assembly connected to the large arm) to rotate clockwise along the X direction relative to the initial position through trajectory planning at the moment that the space is sufficient, and the second axis joint 13 on the small arm drives the rotating rod 16 of the material taking and placing mechanism to rotate counterclockwise through trajectory planning at the moment that the space. The first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 are driven to enable the rotating block 17 on the rotating rod 16 to be positioned on the outer side of the first piece of glass in the trough, and the plane of the group of taking and placing parts on the rotating block 17 is parallel to the first piece of glass. Then, the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 drive the rotating block 17 to move along the Y direction until the rotating block is closely attached to the first piece of glass (the posture of the rotating block 17 can be adjusted through the second shaft joint 13 on the forearm at the same time), and the taking and placing part is enabled to take the first piece of glass (for example, when the taking and placing structure is composed of a sucking disc, a pneumatic device connected with the sucking disc is enabled to suck air to suck the first piece of glass). And finally, driving the rotating block 17 to move along the Z direction through the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 (the posture of the rotating block 17 can be adjusted through the second shaft joint on the small arm at the same time) until the first piece of glass is completely moved out of the storage position of the trough, and taking the first piece of glass is completed.
The process of placing the first sheet of glass into the processing station 21 is as follows: after the first piece of glass is taken, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, the first shaft joint 12 drives the large arm to rotate counterclockwise relative to the taking position through trajectory planning; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the large arm drives the small arm to rotate clockwise relative to the material taking position; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate anticlockwise. The first piece of glass (i.e. the glass to be processed) is moved to the front of the processing station 21 in the Y direction at the fastest speed by the driving of the first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13.
When the taking and placing mechanism absorbs the first piece of glass and moves towards the machining station 21, the machining station can be driven by the first driving assembly to move towards the trough along the Y direction, so that the taking and placing mechanism with unprocessed glass can move to the upper part of the machining station more quickly (the machining station can also be kept still, but the rotating rod 16 and the rotating block 17 need to be controlled to adjust the posture so as to avoid the machining head, and the taking and placing mechanism has longer stroke, longer time and no contribution to improving the efficiency).
The material taking and placing mechanism drives the first glass sheet to finally move to the position above the processing station and ensures that the adjusted angle of the first glass sheet is parallel to the surface of the processing station. In the discharging process, when the first piece of glass reaches the position of 0.1mm-0.5mm on the upper surface of the processing station, the first piece of glass can be positioned through the workpiece positioning device, and the accuracy of the placing position of the first piece of glass is guaranteed. After the positioning is finished, a pneumatic switch of a sucker on the rotating block 17 is turned on to eliminate the adsorption of the first piece of glass, then a vacuum adsorption device on the processing station is turned on to strongly adsorb the first piece of glass to the processing station, and the first piece of glass is placed.
The process of processing the first piece of glass on the processing station and simultaneously taking the second piece of glass from the trough is as follows: after the first piece of glass is adsorbed to the machining station by the vacuum adsorption device, the machining station is controlled to be far away from the material groove along the Y direction until the machining head 23 can be machined, and then the machining head 23 completes the movable machining of the machining head 23 and the first piece of glass relative to the X, Y, Z direction under the common cooperation of the first-stage connecting device, the second-stage two-stage device and the machining station.
When a first piece of glass is processed, the first shaft joint 12 drives the large arm to rotate clockwise through trajectory planning; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the big arm drives the small arm to rotate along the anticlockwise direction; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. The first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13 are driven to enable the rotating block 17 on the rotating rod 16 to be positioned on the outer side of the second piece of glass of the trough, and the taking and placing part on the rotating block is parallel to the glass. Then the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 on the big arm respectively drive the big arm and the small arm to rotate (the posture of the rotating block 17 can be adjusted through the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm at the same time), so that the rotating block 17 moves along the Y direction to be close to the second piece of glass, and the second piece of glass is grabbed through the grabbing mechanism. And finally, the large arm and the small arm are driven to rotate by the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 on the large arm (the posture of the rotating block 17 can be adjusted by the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm at the same time), so that the rotating block 17 moves to the position above the trough along the Z direction until the second piece of glass is completely moved out of the trough, and the second piece of glass taking process is completed.
The process of removing the first sheet of glass from the processing station 21 and placing the second sheet of glass into the processing station 21 is as follows: after the second piece of glass is taken, the first shaft joint 12 drives the large arm to rotate along the anticlockwise direction through trajectory planning; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the big arm drives the small arm to rotate clockwise; at the moment when the space is sufficient, the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate anticlockwise. The second piece of glass (i.e. the glass to be processed) is driven by the first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13 to move to the front of the processing station 21 in the Y direction at the fastest speed.
After the processing head 23 finishes processing the first piece of glass, the first driving assembly can be controlled to drive the processing station to move towards the trough along the Y direction, so that the taking and placing mechanism with unprocessed glass can move to the position above the processing station more quickly.
The material taking and placing mechanism drives the second glass sheet to finally move to the position above the processing station 21, the adjusted angle of the second glass sheet is ensured to be parallel to the surface of the processing station, the second glass sheet is positioned on the upper side of the rotating block 17, and the unloaded material taking and placing part is positioned on the lower side of the rotating block 17 and faces the processed glass (namely the first glass sheet) on the processing station. The rotating block 17 is driven by the first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13 to move downwards, the taking and placing part is made to be close to the processed glass sheet and to grab the glass sheet, and meanwhile, the workpiece positioning device and the vacuum adsorption device on the processing station 21 are loosened. Finally, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, the rotating block 17 is moved upward by the driving of the first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13, and at the moment that the space is sufficient, the rotating block 17 is driven to rotate 180 degrees by the second shaft joints 13 on the small arm, so that the second piece of glass (i.e. the glass to be processed) faces downward, the first piece of glass (i.e. the processed glass) faces upward, and the second piece of glass is placed again.
In the process of placing the second piece of glass, when the second piece of glass reaches the position of 0.1mm-0.5mm on the upper surface of the processing station, the second piece of glass is positioned through the workpiece positioning device, and the accuracy of the placing position of the second piece of glass is ensured. After the positioning is finished, a pneumatic switch of a sucker on the rotating block 17 is turned on, the adsorption of the second piece of glass is eliminated, then a vacuum adsorption device on the processing station is turned on, the second piece of glass is strongly adsorbed to the processing station, and the second piece of glass is placed.
The process of processing the second piece of glass on the processing station, placing the first piece of glass into the trough and taking the third piece of glass from the trough is as follows: and after the second piece of glass is adsorbed on the processing station by the vacuum adsorption device, the processing station is controlled to be away from the material groove along the Y direction until the processing head 23 can process the second piece of glass, and then the processing head 23 completes the mobile processing of the processing head 23 and the first piece of glass relative to the X, Y, Z direction under the common cooperation of the first-stage connecting device, the second-stage two-stage device and the processing station.
While the second piece of glass is being processed, as shown in fig. 15, the first axis joint 12 drives the large arm to rotate clockwise by track planning; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the big arm drives the small arm to rotate along the anticlockwise direction; at the moment of sufficient space, the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. The first shaft joint 12 and the two second shaft joints 13 are driven, so that the rotating block 17 on the rotating rod 16 is positioned at the outermost side of the trough, and the first glass sheet on the taking and placing part of the rotating block 17 is positioned above the storage position at the outermost side of the trough. Then, the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 on the big arm drive the big arm and the small arm to rotate (the posture of the rotating block 17 can be adjusted through the second shaft joint 13 on the small arm at the same time), so that the rotating block 17 moves downwards along the Z direction, the first piece of glass is placed in the storage position on the outermost side of the trough, the grabbing component is controlled to release the first piece of glass, and the placement of the processed first piece of glass is completed.
After the machined first piece of glass is discharged to the trough, the rotating block 17 is moved to the outer side of the next piece of glass to be machined (namely, a third piece of glass) along the Y direction through the first shaft joint 12 and the second shaft joint 13 on the large arm, the rotating block 17 faces the taking and placing part of the third piece of glass and is parallel to the third piece of glass, and when the rotating block 17 is attached to the third piece of glass, the taking and placing part is enabled to grab the third piece of glass. The turning block 17 is then moved in the Z direction by the first axis joint 12 and the second axis joint 13 on the large arm until the third glass sheet is completely removed from the reservoir of the trough. And finishing the material taking of the third piece of glass.
