The plate splitting mechanism 12 is arranged in the front and the fixing mechanism 11 is arranged in the back, so that the plate can enter the fixing mechanism 11 and the plate splitting mechanism 12. The fixing mechanism 11 includes a first support plate 111 and a first pressing plate 112. The first support plate 111 can be retractably arranged on the first pressing plate 112. Specifically, the retractability of the first pressing plate 112 can be achieved by a cylinder or other retractable device, so that the first pressing plate 112 can be extended to the first support plate 111 by the drive of the cylinder to press and fix the rear of the plate on the first support plate 111; the fixing mechanism 11 can also be provided with only the first pressing plate 112, and when working, the rear of the plate can also be pressed and fixed by cooperating with a tabletop, a conveyor belt or other mechanism below it. The plate separation mechanism 12 includes a second support plate 121 and a second pressure plate 122. The second pressure plate 122 can be telescopically arranged on the second support plate 121. Similarly, the second pressure plate 122 can be driven to telescope by a cylinder or other mechanism. The second pressure plate 122 can be telescopically pressed to fix the front part of the plate on the second support plate 121; the second support plate 121 can be rotatably arranged. For example, two brackets 127 can be provided, and the second support plate 121 can be rotatably mounted on the two brackets 127, and then driven and connected to the second support plate 121 by a motor 126 and a reducer 125, so as to realize the rotation of the second support plate 121; during operation, the second pressure plate 122 can be used to press the front part of the plate and then rotate the second support plate 121 back and forth, so as to break off the front part of the plate.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , and also includes a conveying mechanism 13. The fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12 are both arranged above the conveying mechanism 13, and can also be arranged on the conveying mechanism 13. The conveying mechanism 13 can be connected to install the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12, and can also convey the sheet material to the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12, so that the conveying mechanism 13 continuously conveys the sheet material to the location of the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12, which is convenient for the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12 to continuously break the sheet. The conveying mechanism 13 can specifically be a single-axis manipulator, a conveyor belt or a slide rail, such as Figure 1A panel splitting device using a single-axis manipulator as a conveying mechanism is provided. In addition, the fixing mechanism 11 and / or the panel splitting mechanism 12 can also be slidably arranged, for example, the sliding of the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12 can be realized by the cooperation of a track and a cylinder; the fixing mechanism 11 is provided with a material taking structure, and the material taking structure can be selected as a suction cup or a clamp; in this way, the panel material that has completed the initial panel splitting can be removed by the sliding of the panel splitting mechanism 12, and the fixing mechanism 11 of another panel splitting device cooperates with the panel splitting device of the initial panel splitting, and the two panel splitting devices are vertically connected head to tail, that is, the panel material of the initial panel splitting is taken away by the suction cup or clamp of the fixing mechanism 11 of the latter panel splitting device, and then the secondary panel splitting is performed, so that the vertical and horizontal directions of the matrix-shaped panel material can be split into individual panels by the two panel splitting devices.

[0029] See also Figure 2 A dust removal mechanism 123 is provided under the second support plate 121. The dust removal mechanism 123 can use a vacuum cleaner commonly used for dust removal. Therefore, the dust, debris, etc. generated in the process of the plate splitting mechanism 12 breaking the plate can be cleaned up by the dust removal mechanism 123 to avoid contaminating the plate.

[0030] See also Figure 2 , the plate separation mechanism 12 is also provided with a photoelectric sensor 124, which detects whether there is a sheet material on the second support plate 121 through the photoelectric sensor 124, thereby starting the operation. In addition, soft material protective pads can be provided on the first pressing plate 112, the first support plate 111, the second pressing plate 122, and the second support plate 121 to prevent the sheet material from being directly contacted and scratched by the first pressing plate 112, the first support plate 111, the second pressing plate 122, and the second support plate 121. The first pressing plate 112 and the second pressing plate 122 can also be provided with linear bearings to cooperate with the cylinder drive, so that the first pressing plate 112 and the second pressing plate 122 are easier to extend and retract.

[0031] The working process of the panel splitting device of the present invention is as follows: the panel is loaded onto the conveying mechanism 13 by other loading equipment such as a manipulator, and then conveyed to the location of the fixing mechanism 11 and the panel splitting mechanism 12 by the conveying mechanism 13; the rear part of the panel is pressed down and fixed to the first support plate 111 by the first pressing plate 112 of the fixing mechanism 11, and the front part of the panel is pressed down and fixed to the second support plate 121 by the second pressing plate 122 on the panel splitting mechanism 12; after the second support plate 121 is detected and determined to have a panel, the motor 126 drives the second support plate 121 to rotate back and forth to break off the front part of the panel, and dust is removed during the process by the dust removal mechanism 123. For example, the present invention can be used to separate a PCB board of a panel into individual PCB boards, which can be completed by the above method.

The second pressing plate on the fixing mechanism 11 of the next board-splitting device 1 can also be telescopic and rotatable, so that it is more convenient and flexible to take out the primary board from the board-splitting mechanism 12 of the previous board-splitting device 1; the above-mentioned primary board transfer process between the front and rear board-splitting devices can also be completed by a material-taking device such as a robot, for example Figure 5 A suction cup 4 is arranged at the junction of two panel separation devices 1, and the suction cup 4 is lifted and lowered and horizontally slid by a lifting cylinder and a horizontally sliding cylinder, so that a single board is taken from the panel separation mechanism 12 of the previous panel separation device 1 to the conveying mechanism 13 of the next panel separation device 1, and then the next panel separation device 1 completes the panel separation. The loading device 2 is arranged at one side of the previous panel separation device 1, and is used for loading the board before panel separation; the unloading device 3 is arranged at one side of the next panel separation device 1, and is used for taking out and assembling the single board after panel separation.

[0034] See also Figure 4 The loading device 2 includes a material rack 21 and a first manipulator 22. The first manipulator 22 is used to transfer the sheet material in the material rack 21 to the panel separation device 1. Figure 4 The material rack 21 and the first manipulator 22 are located on both sides of the plate separation device 1. In fact, the setting positions of the material rack 21 and the first manipulator 22 can also be selected according to the actual space. The bottom of the material rack 21 can be raised and lowered, so that the plates placed in the material rack 21 can also be raised and lowered by the bottom. The specific lifting of the bottom of the material rack can be achieved by the motor 211 driving the screw rod 212 to rotate, and the screw rod 212 drives the bottom of the material rack to rise and fall. In addition, the lifting of the bottom of the material rack 21 can also be achieved by a rack and gear method. The material rack 21 is provided with an in-place sensing structure, and a through-beam photoelectric sensor can be selected as the in-place sensing mechanism. By cooperating with the in-place sensing structure and the bottom of the material rack, the top plate in the material rack 21 can always be kept at the same height, so that it is convenient for the first manipulator 22 to take the material.

[0035] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7The unloading device 3 includes a picking mechanism 31 and a second manipulator 32. The picking mechanism 31 is used to take out the single board after separation from the board separation device 1 and correct its position. The second manipulator 32 takes out the single board from the picking mechanism 31 and assembles it. The picking mechanism 31 specifically includes a stand 311, a slider 312 and a picking piece 313. The slider 312 is slidably arranged on the stand 311, and the sliding of the slider 312 can be achieved by cooperating with a slide rail and a cylinder. The picking piece 313 can be rotatably arranged on the slider 312, and the rotation of the picking piece 313 can be achieved by a cylinder, a motor, etc. The picking piece 313 can be a mechanism such as a clamping claw, a cylinder, etc. that can take out a single board. The board can be taken out by the picking mechanism 31 and the position of the board can be adjusted by sliding and rotating, so that the second manipulator 32 can take it out for assembly.

[0036] The working process of the plate-splitting feeding equipment of this embodiment is as follows: first, a whole stack of large plates is placed into the material rack 21 manually or by other means, and the large plates are transferred from the material rack to the conveying mechanism 13 of the previous plate-splitting device 1 by the first manipulator 22; the initial horizontal plate-splitting of the large plates is completed in the previous plate-splitting device 1, and then the plate-splitting mechanism 12 of the previous plate-splitting device 1 slides and cooperates with the fixing mechanism 11 of the next plate-splitting device 1 to move the primary plate to the next plate-splitting device 1 and separate it longitudinally into individual plates; finally, the plate is taken out and adjusted in position by the material-taking mechanism 31, and then assembled by the second manipulator 32.
