Description
本發明係有關一種揀料裝置,尤其是一種用以校正物件的移動路徑的自動倉儲系統用的揀料裝置。The invention relates to a picking device, in particular to a picking device for an automatic storage system for correcting the moving path of objects.
倉儲管理對於許多行業來說相當重要。特別是對於物料種類繁多和物料存放量龐大的企業來說,如果能夠妥善地將物料分門別類,並且放置在適當的位置,可將倉儲空間發揮至最大效益,減少查找時間。Warehouse management is very important for many industries. Especially for enterprises with a large variety of materials and large storage volume, if they can properly classify materials and place them in appropriate locations, the storage space can be maximized and the search time can be reduced.
以表面黏著技術(又稱為SMT,Surface Mount Technology)為例,表面黏著技術是電子製造領域的基礎性產業,倉儲管理為表面黏著技術的製程中相當重要的一部分,主要包括入料、出料、退料、補料等步驟。Taking surface mount technology (also known as SMT, Surface Mount Technology) as an example, surface mount technology is a basic industry in the field of electronic manufacturing, and storage management is a very important part of the surface mount technology process, mainly including input and output , Material return, replenishment and other steps.
然而,現有的倉儲發料系統大多採用紙質料單和人工辨認查找的方法,工作效率低,錯誤率高,即時更新性差,對作業人員的作業技能要求很多,需要訓練較長時間的熟練人員才能有效地進行入料、出料等流程。However, most of the existing warehousing and dispatching systems use paper bills and manual identification and search methods, which have low work efficiency, high error rate, and poor real-time updateability. They require a lot of skills for the operator and require a long time to train skilled personnel. Effectively carry out the process of feeding and discharging.
進一步地說,為了能夠有效、準確地對物料進行分類存放,不同類型的物料存儲位置多為固定設置,為了熟練準確地進行入料、出料等流程操作,又進一步提高了對操作人員的技能要求。Furthermore, in order to be able to classify and store materials efficiently and accurately, the storage locations of different types of materials are mostly fixed. In order to proficiently and accurately carry out process operations such as feeding and discharging, the skills of the operator are further improved. Claim.
再者,由於電子產品生產行業大批量多品種等特性,所用物料較多;若用人工進行物料管理和傳遞,則會存在查找困難,耗費時間的問題。因此,要考慮物料存儲和傳遞運輸的自動化,以縮短物料查找和獲取的時間,提高物流速度,提高生產效率。In addition, due to the characteristics of large quantities and many varieties in the electronic product production industry, more materials are used; if manual material management and transmission are used, there will be problems of finding difficulties and time consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the automation of material storage and delivery transportation to shorten the time for material search and acquisition, improve logistics speed, and improve production efficiency.
目前在市面上有一種用於自動倉儲的儲存及運送裝置可解決上述問題,其包含倉儲櫃、導軌、存取裝置、第一輸送模組、第二輸送模組及夾取模組。存取裝置從倉儲櫃上將物件取出,然後藉由導軌引導將物件搬運至輸送模組,以完成取料的動作。存取裝置亦可從第一輸送模組上將物件取出,然後藉由導軌將物件搬運至倉儲櫃上,以完成存料的動作。夾取模組夾取第一輸送模組上的某一物料箱中的多個物件放置在第二輸送模組上的某一物料箱中。At present, there is a storage and transportation device for automatic storage on the market that can solve the above problems, and includes a storage cabinet, a guide rail, an access device, a first conveying module, a second conveying module, and a gripping module. The access device takes out the objects from the storage cabinet, and then guides the objects to the conveying module by the guide rail to complete the retrieving action. The access device can also take out the objects from the first conveying module, and then transport the objects to the storage cabinet through the guide rails to complete the storage operation. The clamping module clamps a plurality of objects in a material box on the first conveying module and places it in a material box on the second conveying module.
然而,在出貨揀料的過程中,因為夾取模組在移動物件的時候,物件的移動路徑經常性發生偏移的問題,所以夾取模組無法將第一輸送模組上的一或多個物料箱中的多個物件精準地依序放置在第二輸送模組上的多個物料箱的複數物件放置處中,所以在物件放置在第二輸送模組上的多個物料箱的複數物件放置處以前,必須手動調整物件的位置,才能夠精準地放置在第二輸送模組上的多個物料箱的複數物件放置處中。更且,在第二輸送模組的某一物料箱裝滿物件以後,第二輸送模組就必須將下一個物料箱移動至定點,使得夾取模組繼續將第一輸送模組上的某一物料箱中的其餘物件放置在第二輸送模組的下一個物料箱中。此種運作模式的出貨揀料速度慢,效率差。However, in the process of shipping and picking, because the gripping module moves the object, the movement path of the object often shifts, so the gripping module cannot Multiple objects in multiple material bins are accurately placed in sequence in the plural object bins of multiple material bins on the second conveying module, so multiple objects in the multiple conveying bins on the second conveying module Before placing the plural objects, the position of the objects must be manually adjusted to be accurately placed in the plural object placement locations of the multiple material boxes on the second conveying module. Moreover, after a material box of the second conveying module is filled with objects, the second conveying module must move the next material box to a fixed point, so that the gripping module continues to move a certain material box on the first conveying module. The remaining items in a material box are placed in the next material box of the second conveying module. Shipment picking speed in this mode of operation is slow and the efficiency is poor.
再者,在第二輸送模組上的全部物料箱裝滿物件出貨以後,第一輸送模組上的多個物料箱中的剩餘的物件成為庫存品。問題在於,第一輸送模組上的多個物料箱中沒有裝滿物件,又因為夾取模組無法將第一輸送模組的二物料箱的其中一者中的多個物件放置在另一者中,所以沒有裝滿物件的多個物料箱仍有許多閒置空間,還衍生出物料箱過多而佔據過多儲存空間的問題,降低倉儲管理效率。Furthermore, after all the material boxes on the second conveying module are filled with items and the remaining items in the plurality of material boxes on the first conveying module become inventory. The problem is that the multiple material boxes on the first conveying module are not full of objects, and because the gripping module cannot place multiple objects in one of the two material boxes of the first conveying module on the other Among them, many material bins that are not full of objects still have a lot of idle space, which also leads to the problem that too many material bins occupy too much storage space, which reduces the efficiency of storage management.
此外,長期使用下,物件的二側邊難免會有某一部位產生翹曲。如果翹曲部位的面積大於二定位板的可容許面積,代表翹曲部位的寬度大於二定位板的間距。不幸的是,如果夾取模組夾取物件時,物件的二側邊的翹曲部位恰好是在底端,則物件的二側邊的翹曲部位會卡在二定位板上,無法平順地進入二定位板之間的物件放置處。In addition, under long-term use, the two sides of the object will inevitably have a certain part of the warpage. If the area of the warped part is larger than the allowable area of the second positioning plate, it means that the width of the warped part is larger than the distance between the two positioning plates. Unfortunately, if the gripping module grips the object, the warped parts of the two sides of the object happen to be at the bottom, the warped parts of the two sides of the object will get stuck on the two positioning plates, and cannot be smoothly Enter the place where the objects are placed between the two positioning plates.
本發明的主要目的在於提供一種自動倉儲系統用的揀料裝置,可校正物件的移動路徑,並且將第一輸送模組上的一或多個物料箱中的多個物件精準地依序放置在第二輸送模組上的多個物料箱中的複數物件放置處,加快出貨揀料的速度,提高出貨揀料的效率。The main object of the present invention is to provide a picking device for an automatic storage system, which can correct the moving path of objects, and accurately place multiple objects in one or more material boxes on the first conveying module in order The placement of a plurality of objects in multiple material boxes on the second conveying module speeds up the shipping picking speed and improves the shipping picking efficiency.
本發明的另一目的在於提供一種自動倉儲系統用的揀料裝置,可校正物件的移動路徑,並且將第一輸送模組的二物料箱的其中一者中的多個物件精準地依序放置在另一者的複數物件放置處中,使得第一輸送模組中的一些物料箱可重新裝滿物件而無閒置空間,第一輸送模組中的其餘物料箱則被淨空而從倉儲櫃中移出,降低物料箱數量,減少所佔據的儲存空間,提升倉儲管理效率。Another object of the present invention is to provide a picking device for an automatic warehousing system that can correct the moving path of objects and accurately place multiple objects in one of the two material boxes of the first conveying module in sequence In the multiple object placement place of the other, some material boxes in the first conveying module can be refilled with objects without free space, and the remaining material boxes in the first conveying module are cleared from the storage cabinet Move out, reduce the number of material boxes, reduce the storage space occupied, and improve the efficiency of storage management.

以下將配合圖式詳細解說說本發明的三種運作模式。The three modes of operation of the present invention will be explained in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.
第一種運作模式:如圖6及圖7所示,控制單元80控制機械手臂52先移動至其中一第二物料箱33的其中二定位板40的上方,光學讀取器60光學讀取其中一第二物料箱33的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,以獲得一第一光學定位訊號63並且傳送至控制單元80。控制單元80依據第一光學定位訊號63計算出物件放置處的正確方位。接著,如圖8及圖9所示,控制單元80控制機械手臂52移動至其中一第一物料箱31的其中二定位板40的上方(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭A所示),光學讀取器60光學讀取其中一第一物料箱31的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,以獲得一第二光學定位訊號64並且傳送至控制單元80。控制單元80依據第二光學定位訊號64計算出物件正確方位。如圖10所示,控制單元80依據所計算出的物件正確方位精準地控制機械手臂52對準物件105,使得夾頭53精準地取出物件105。如圖11及圖12所示,控制單元80控制機械手臂52往校正模組70的方向移動(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭B所示),使得夾頭53將物件105移動至測量空間73中,光學讀取器60光學讀取校正模組70的 第二辨識反射部,以獲得一第三光學定位訊號65並且傳送至控制單元80,控制單元80依據第三光學定位訊號65紀錄夾取模組50確實將物件105移動至校正模組70。當物件105被移動至測量空間73時,校正模組70測量出物件105是否偏離正確的移動路徑,以獲得一測量值並且傳送至控制單元80,控制單元80依據測量值計算出物件105與正確的移動路徑的一偏差值。更明確地說,如圖13及圖14所示,當物件105被移動至測量空間73時,物件105的底端位於第一測距範圍與第二測距範圍中,第一測距模組711測量出物件105與第一測距儀71的距離,以獲得一第一測量值712並且傳送至控制單元80,第二測距模組721測量出物件105與第二測距儀72的距離,以獲得一第二測量值722並且傳送至控制單元80。控制單元80依據第一測量值712與第二測量值722計算出該偏差值,該偏差值為第一測量值712與第二測量值722的差值的絕對值的二分之一。如圖15及圖16所示,控制單元80依據所計算出的偏差值以及物件放置處的正確方位控制機械手臂52略為調整其延伸的距離,使得夾頭53上的物件105能夠回歸到正確的移動路徑上,然後從校正模組70經由正確的移動路徑(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭C所示)移動至物件放置處的上方並且將物件105精確地放置在物件放置處。First operation mode: As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the
第二種運作模式:控制單元80控制機械手臂52先移動至另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40的上方,光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,以獲得第一光學定位訊號63並且傳送至控制單元80。後續動作則與第一種運作模式相似,差別在於:其一,控制單元80控制機械手臂52移動至其中一第一物料箱31的其中二定位板40的上方的移動路徑略為不同(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭D所示);其二,物件放置處是在另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40之間,所以正確的移動路徑較第一運作模式長(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭C加E所示)。
The second operating mode: the
藉此,本發明可藉由第一種運作模式和第二種運作模式校正物件105的移動路徑,並且將第一輸送模組10上的該二第一物料箱31、32中的複數個物件105精準地依序放置在第二輸送模組20上的該二第二物料箱33、34的該等物件放置處中,加快出貨揀料的速度,提高出貨揀料的效率。
In this way, the present invention can correct the moving path of the
第三種運作模式:控制單元80控制機械手臂52先移動至另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40的上方,光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,以獲得第一光學定位訊號63並且傳送至控制單元80。後續動作則與第一種運作模式相似,差別在於:其一,控制單元80控制機械手臂52移動至其中一第一物料箱31的其中二定位板40的上方的移動路徑略為不同(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭F所示);其二,物件放置處是在另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40之間,所以正確的移動路徑與第一運作模式和第二運作模式完全不同(其移動路徑如圖17的箭頭G所示)。
The third operating mode: the
藉此,本發明可藉由第三種運作模式校正物件105的移動路徑,並且將第一輸送模組10的其中一第一物料箱31的複數個物件105精準地依序放置在另一第一物料箱32的該等物件放置處中,使得另一第一物料箱32可重新裝滿物件105而無閒置空間,其中一第一物料箱31則被淨空而從倉儲櫃101中移出,降低物料箱數量,減少所佔據的儲存空間,提升倉儲管理效率。
In this way, the present invention can correct the moving path of the
值得一提的是,光學讀取器60在執行光學讀取動作的時候,光線發射部61發射光線,其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41或校正模組70的第二辨識反射部反射光線回到光線接收部62,以獲得第一光學定位訊號63、一第二光學定位訊號64或一第三光學定位訊號65。較佳地,光線發射部61為一閃光燈,只有在執行光學讀取動作,短暫發射光線即可達到光學讀取的作用,減少電力的消耗。It is worth mentioning that, when the

在第二種運作模式中,控制單元80控制機械手臂52先移動至另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40的上方,光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,同時光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第二物料箱34的該等感測定位結構301的第三辨識反射部302,以獲得第一光學定位訊號63並且傳送至控制單元80。換言之,第一光學定位訊號63包含光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第二物料箱34的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41和另一第二物料箱34的該等感測定位結構301的第三辨識反射部302的讀取結果。藉此,控制單元80能夠依據第一光學定位訊號63更精準地計算出物件放置處的正確方位。In the second mode of operation, the
在第三種運作模式中,控制單元80控制機械手臂52先移動至另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40的上方,光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41,同時光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第一物料箱32的該等感測定位結構301的第三辨識反射部302,以獲得第一光學定位訊號63並且傳送至控制單元80。換言之,第一光學定位訊號63包含光學讀取器60光學讀取另一第一物料箱32的其中二定位板40的第一辨識反射部41和另一第一物料箱32的該等感測定位結構301的第三辨識反射部302的讀取結果。藉此,控制單元80能夠依據第一光學定位訊號63更精準地計算出物件放置處的正確方位。In the third mode of operation, the
較佳地,控制單元80能夠控制機械手臂52對物件105的X軸、Y軸、Z軸、A軸、B軸、C軸中任意五個座標進行修正(即,五軸修正),藉以更細微地調整物件105的角度,使得旋轉後的物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端的面積完全等於可容許面積42A。Preferably, the
如圖18、圖19及圖20所示,在第二實施例中,各該定位板40A的頂部設有二第一辨識反射部41A,光學讀取器60A光學讀取另一第一物料箱32或其中一第二物料箱33、34的其中二定位板40A的該等第一辨識反射部41A,控制單元80依據第一光學定位訊號63計算出另一第一物料箱32或其中一第二物料箱33、34的其中二定位板40A的該等第一辨識反射部41A之間的空間的面積,並依此界定出一可容許面積42A;第一測距儀71A具有一第三測距模組713,第三測距模組713具有一第三測距範圍;第二測距儀72A具有一第四測距模組723,第四測距模組723具有一第四測距範圍。第一測距模組711與第三測距模組713的間隔距離以及第二測距模組721與第四測距模組723的間隔距離均等於各該定位板40A的該二第一辨識反射部41A的間隔距離,第一測距儀71A與第二測距儀72A的間隔距離等於其中二定位板40A的間隔距離。第三測距模組713為紅外線測距模組或雷射測距模組,第四測距模組723為紅外線測距模組或雷射測距模組。As shown in FIG. 18, FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, in the second embodiment, the top of each
如圖21及圖22所示,當物件105A被移動至測量空間73時,物件105A的底端位於第一至第四測距範圍中,第三測距模組713測量出物件105A與第一測距儀71A的距離,以獲得一第三測量值714並且傳送至控制單元80,第四測距模組723測量出物件105A與第二測距儀72A的距離,以獲得一第四測量值724並且傳送至控制單元80,控制單元80依據第一至第四測量值712、722、714、724計算出物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端的實際面積。當物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端的實際面積大於可容許面積42A時,代表物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端產生嚴重翹曲,所以物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端寬度大於另一第一物料箱32或其中一第二物料箱33、34的其中二定位板40A的間隔距離。控制單元80控制機械手臂52旋轉物件105A,藉以調整物件105的角度,使得旋轉後的物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端的面積等於或小於可容許面積42A。此時,旋轉後的物件105的二側邊1051A、1052A的底端的寬度等於或小於另一第一物料箱32或其中一第二物料箱33、34的其中二定位板40A的間隔距離。藉此,即使物件105的二側邊1051A、1052A的某一部位產生嚴重翹曲,本發明也能夠藉由調整物件105的角度,以沒有翹曲或些微翹曲的部位對準物件放置處,使得物件105能夠平順地進入物件放置處,防止物件105A的二側邊1051A、1052A卡在該二定位板40A上。As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, when the

請參閱圖25,圖25為本發明的第三實施例的立體圖。本發明的第三實施例與第一實施例的結構差異在於:夾取模組50A使用傳統的四軸式的機械手臂52A;一螺桿521A可旋轉地設於四軸式的機械手臂52A的第二端並且貫穿其頂部和底部並且電性連接控制單元80;夾頭53A設於螺桿521A的底端;第一測距儀71B和第二測距儀72B固設在四軸式的機械手臂52A的第二端的二側。Please refer to FIG. 25, which is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention. The structural difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention is that: the clamping
第三實施例的三種運作模式與第一實施例的三種運作模式的差異在於:控制單元80控制螺桿521A向下移動,使得夾頭53A精準地取出物件105;控制單元80控制螺桿521A向上移動,使得夾頭53A將物件105移動至測量空間中。至於,第三實施例的三種運作模式的其餘部分和第一實施例三種運作模式相同,在此不予贅述。是以,第三實施例可達成第一實施例的全部功效。The three operating modes of the third embodiment differ from the three operating modes of the first embodiment in that: the
請參閱圖26及圖27,圖26為包含本發明的第四實施例的另一種自動倉儲系統的整體運作示意圖,圖27為本發明的第四實施例的夾取模組50B的立體圖。另一種自動倉儲系統100A僅包含複數倉儲櫃101A以及複數自動倉儲系統用的揀料裝置1A,並沒有包含導軌102和存取裝置103。倉儲櫃101A為箱型櫃體,包含一層物料箱放置區1011A。該層物料箱放置區1011A的面積較為廣大,可供多個物料箱104A排列成數排,每排有數個物料箱104A。Please refer to FIGS. 26 and 27.

第四實施例的自動倉儲系統用的撿料裝置1A的整體結構和第一實施例的自動倉儲系統用的撿料裝置1的整體結構至少有下列三種差異。The overall structure of the
首先,第四實施例的複數第一輸送模組10A的複數第一水平輸送部11A彼此之間是有縫隙的,並沒有相互連接,所以沒有產生一第一輸送系統。因此,第一水平輸送部11A的功能是直接從倉儲櫃101A中輸送二物料箱104A至該二第一揀料部12A、13A。也就是說,第四實施例的第一水平輸送部11A等同於第一實施例自動倉儲系統100的存取裝置103。First, the plural first horizontal conveying
其次,第四實施例的第二輸送模組20A並沒有包含第二揀料部。因此,複數第二輸送模組20A的複數第二水平輸送部21A除了維持彼此頭尾相接而形成第二輸送系統之外,當第二水平輸送部21A將令二物料箱104A輸送至夾取模組50B一旁時,第二水平輸送部21A立刻暫停運作,俾利夾取模組50B將第一輸送模組10A上的該二第一物料箱31、32中的複數個物件105精準地依序放置在第二輸送模組20A上的該二第二物料箱33、34的該等物件放置處。上述動作完成以後,第二水平輸送部21A可重新啟動。其中,第四實施例的第二水平輸送部21A為滾桿。
Secondly, the second conveying
此外,第四實施例的基座51B的整體結構和第一實施例的基座51的整體結構大不相同。更明確地說,第四實施例的基座51B包含複數個底座511B、一滑軌512B及一滑座516B。該等底座511B設置在一地面上。滑軌512B設置在該等底座511B上。滑座516B滑設於滑軌512B上,四軸式的機械手臂52A可旋轉地設置在滑座516B上。藉此,四軸式的機械手臂52A可藉由滑座516B沿著滑軌512B水平移動。
Furthermore, the overall structure of the base 51B of the fourth embodiment is very different from the overall structure of the
