[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this invention belongs. The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , an embodiment of the present invention provides an automated production device for reinforcement plates, including a frame, on which a computer system is provided, and a blanking mechanism 1, a waste rejection mechanism 2, a product conveying mechanism 3, a product size detection mechanism 4, a product gripping mechanism 5, and a product packaging platform 6 that are respectively signal-connected to the computer system. Among them,

[0047] The blanking mechanism 1 is used to place the to-be-processed plate and perform blanking on the to-be-processed plate placed thereon to strip the single reinforcement plate from the to-be-processed plate;

[0048] The waste rejection mechanism 2 is disposed opposite to the blanking mechanism 1 and is used to recycle the waste plate 10, where the waste plate 10 refers to the to-be-processed plate after blanking;

[0049] The product conveying mechanism 3 is located below the blanking mechanism 1 and is used to convey the single reinforcement plate that has fallen thereon to the detection position of the product size detection mechanism 4;

[0050] The product size detection mechanism 4 is used to collect the size data of the single reinforcement plate and send the obtained size data to the computer system;

[0051] The computer system is used to control the blanking mechanism 1, the waste rejection mechanism 2, the product conveying mechanism 3, the product size detection mechanism 4, the product gripping mechanism 5, and the product packaging platform 6, and to judge whether the single reinforcement plate is qualified according to the received size detection data; among them, when the judgment result is qualified, a first gripping instruction is sent to the product gripping mechanism 5; when the judgment result is unqualified, a second gripping instruction is sent to the product gripping mechanism 5;

[0052] The product gripping mechanism 5 is used to transfer the qualified single reinforcement plate to the product packaging table for boxing when receiving the first gripping instruction sent by the computer system, and to transfer the unqualified single reinforcement plate to a predetermined position when receiving the second gripping instruction sent by the computer system;

[0053] The product packaging platform 6 includes an empty box supply platform 62 that is signal-connected to the computer system. Among them, the empty box supply platform 62 has a packaging box placement area (not shown in the figure) for placing packaging boxes (not shown in the figure), and the packaging box is used for the product gripping mechanism 5 to perform boxing.

[0054] In this embodiment, it should be noted that since the shipped products need to ensure their cleanliness, surface smoothness, etc., the above-mentioned to-be-processed plates are generally metal plates after cleaning surface impurities such as grease and attachments. The above computer system can be respectively signal-connected to the blanking mechanism 1, the waste rejection mechanism 2, the product conveying mechanism 3, the product size detection mechanism 4, the product grasping mechanism 5 and the empty box supply platform 62 through existing wired methods (such as through wires) or wireless methods (such as through Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular networks, etc.). As long as the signal transmission between the computer system and each device can be achieved, there is no specific limitation on this. Illustratively, a belt conveyor can be used as the above product conveying mechanism 3. Of course, existing devices similar to the belt conveyor can also be used as the above product conveying mechanism 3, as long as the usage requirements can be met, there is no specific limitation on this. Illustratively, a manipulator can be used as the above product grasping mechanism 5. This manipulator can be an adsorption-type multi-axis robot (such as a six-axis robot with a suction cup), or a clamping-type multi-axis robot (such as a six-axis robot with a pneumatic gripper). The movement trajectory of this manipulator during box loading can be a "bow" shape, a "Z" shape, etc. (the movement trajectory of the manipulator can be preset according to the situation). Among them, it is preferred to use an adsorption-type multi-axis robot as the above product grasping mechanism 5. Illustratively, a PLC control cabinet 7 is provided on the frame, and the computer system is installed in the PLC control cabinet 7. Among them, the above computer system can be an industrial control computer with a built-in PLC control system, or a single PLC control module. Its model is not specifically limited, as long as relevant program control and data processing can be achieved. The above predetermined position can be determined according to the defective rate of the products. For example, during actual debugging, if there are more defective products, an additional platform for placing defective products can be added to the frame as the above predetermined position. If there are fewer defective products, a suitable position on the frame can be selected as the above predetermined position. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the top surface of the frame border C in the figure can be used as the above predetermined position. Illustratively, the product size detection mechanism 4 is arranged on the conveying line of the product conveying mechanism 3 and is located between the product grasping mechanism 5 and the blanking mechanism 1.

[0055] In this embodiment, for the automated production device of the reinforcement plate, first, the blanking mechanism 1 punches out the required single reinforcement plates from the to-be-processed sheet, and then the product conveying mechanism 3 conveys the punched single reinforcement plates to the product size detection device for size detection, while the remaining waste sheet 10 can be recycled through the waste rejection mechanism 2. Subsequently, the product size detection mechanism 4 feeds back the measured size data to the computer system, and the computer system can judge whether the current single reinforcement plate is a qualified product by processing the received size data. Furthermore, when it is judged that the current single reinforcement plate is a qualified product, the qualified product can be transferred to the empty box supply platform 62 in the product packaging platform 6 by the product grasping mechanism 5 for boxing, and when it is judged that the current single reinforcement plate is a defective product, the defective product can be transferred to a predetermined position for placement by the product grasping mechanism 5, thus realizing the automated production of the reinforcement plate. Compared with the existing manual operation, the automated production device of the reinforcement plate proposed by the present invention can automatically blank and separate products, automatically recycle waste sheets, automatically identify qualified and defective products, and can complete the automatic boxing of qualified products, greatly improving the production efficiency of the reinforcement plate.

[0056] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , in an exemplary embodiment, the product packaging platform 6 further includes a packaging product storage platform 61 and a packaging product transfer mechanism 63 that are respectively in signal connection with the computer system. Among them, the packaging product transfer mechanism 63 is used to transfer the packaging box filled with qualified products from the empty box supply platform 62 to the packaging product storage platform 61 for temporary storage.

[0057] In this embodiment, based on the above structural design, the automatic removal of the full packaging box and the replenishment of new empty packaging boxes can be realized, greatly improving the packaging efficiency of the product, and thus further improving the production efficiency of the reinforcement plate. Specifically, before use, a certain number of empty packaging boxes can be stacked on the empty box supply platform 62; during the production of the reinforcement plate, when the topmost empty packaging box is full (for example, the computer system can judge whether the topmost empty packaging box on the empty box supply platform 62 is full of qualified products by sensing whether the manipulator has completed a predetermined motion trajectory), the packaging product transfer mechanism 63 can be controlled to transfer the packaging box filled with qualified products from the empty box supply platform 62 to the packaging product storage platform 61 for temporary storage.

[0058] Further, referring to Figures 1 to 3In an exemplary embodiment, the blanking mechanism 1 includes a male plate 11, a female plate 12 and a telescopic device installed on a frame, the telescopic device is connected to the male plate 11 by transmission, the male plate 11 and the female plate 12 are arranged opposite to each other, wherein the male plate 11 is located above the female plate 12, the product conveying mechanism 3 is located below the female plate 12, and the telescopic device is connected to the computer system signal. Illustratively, a telescopic cylinder 13 can be used as the telescopic device. Diagrammatically, a mold mounting frame 14 and two die fixing plates 17 are provided on the frame, and the die plate 12 is installed on the frame through the two die fixing plates 17. The mold mounting frame 14 is provided with a telescopic cylinder 13 and a guide mechanism 15 located on both sides of the telescopic cylinder 13 (diagrammatically, the guide mechanism 15 is mainly composed of a guide column and a guide sleeve slidably matched with the guide column), wherein the convex plate 11 is installed at the bottom of the convex die fixing plate 16, and the top of the convex die fixing plate 16 is respectively connected to the two guide mechanisms 15 (wherein the guide column is installed on the convex die fixing plate 16, and the guide sleeve is installed on the mold mounting frame 14) and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 13. In this way, the up and down movement of the convex plate 11 can be controlled by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder 13.

[0059] In this embodiment, when in use, the plate to be processed can be placed on the concave plate 12. During operation, by controlling the convex plate 11 to move downward, a single reinforcing plate can be punched out from the plate to be processed, thereby realizing automatic blanking.

[0060] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 5 In an exemplary embodiment, vacuum adsorption holes 111 are distributed on the lower surface of the convex template 11, and the waste return mechanism 2 includes a first slide cylinder 21 installed on the frame, a second slide cylinder 22 installed on the slide of the first slide cylinder 21, a receiving rod 23 installed on the second slide cylinder 22, and a material blocking rod 24 installed on the frame, the receiving rod 23 is arranged in pairs on the slide of the second slide cylinder 22, and the distance between the two receiving rods 23 is less than the length of the waste plate 10; the material blocking rod 24 is arranged in pairs and It is longitudinally arranged on the frame and the spacing between the two material blocking rods 24 is smaller than the length of the waste plate 10; the sliding directions of the first slide cylinder 21 and the second slide cylinder 22 and the length directions of the two receiving rods 23 are consistent with the width direction of the concave template 12, wherein the first slide cylinder 21 and the second slide cylinder 22 are respectively connected to the computer system signal, when the slide of the second slide cylinder 22 slides in the direction close to the concave template 12, the two receiving rods 23 can extend into the space between the concave template 12 and the convex template 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, based on the above structural design, the waste can be automatically removed after the blanking is completed. The specific principle process is as follows:

[0062] When blanking, the telescopic cylinder 13 is controlled to drive the convex plate 11 to press down to peel the product from the plate to be processed, so that the product can fall onto the conveyor belt below the concave plate 12; after the product is peeled off from the plate to be processed, the telescopic cylinder 13 is controlled to drive the convex plate 11 to move upward. At this time, since the vacuum adsorption pores 111 are in a negative pressure state, the waste plate 10 will be adsorbed on the bottom of the convex plate 11 during the process of the telescopic cylinder 13 driving the convex plate 11 to move upward; then the computer system controls the slide of the second slide cylinder 22 to slide in the direction close to the concave plate 12 according to a predetermined program, so that the receiving rod 23 can be extended into the space between the concave plate 12 and the convex plate 11 and remain still directly below the waste plate 10; when the receiving rod 23 is in place, the vacuum adsorption pores 111 release the negative pressure, and the waste plate 10 falls to the receiving rod 23 directly below due to gravity. On, the waste material is received; when the waste plate 10 falls on the receiving rod 23, the slide of the first slide cylinder 21 and the slide of the second slide cylinder 22 are controlled in turn to slide in the direction away from the concave template 12, so as to drive the receiving rod 23 to move back (that is, to move in the direction away from the concave template 12); when the waste plate 10 does not contact the blocking rod 24, the waste plate 10 follows the receiving rod 23 to make a relatively static displacement; and when the waste plate 10 contacts the blocking rod 24, the waste plate 10 and the receiving rod 23 make relative movement, and the receiving rod 23 continues to be pulled out until it is completely separated from the waste plate 10; when the receiving rod 23 is completely pulled out, the waste plate 10 naturally falls downward due to gravity (in actual use, a waste collection bucket can be placed below the natural fall of the waste plate 10 to recycle the waste plate 10), thereby completing the entire waste return process.

[0063] Further, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In an exemplary embodiment, the packaged product storage platform 61 includes a first placement plate 611, a first longitudinal guide rail 612 installed on the frame, a first lifting mechanism and a first height sensor (not shown in the figure, which can be fixed at any suitable position on the frame without displacement movement as required), the first placement plate 611 is slidably connected to the first longitudinal guide rail 612, the first lifting mechanism and the first height sensor are respectively connected to the computer system signal, wherein the first lifting mechanism is transmission-connected to the bottom of the first placement plate 611, and the first height sensor is used to detect the height of the working plane of the first placement plate 611. Schematically, the first guide rail sliders 615 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the first placement plate 611, and the first placement plate 611 is slidably connected to the corresponding four first longitudinal guide rails 612 through the four first guide rail sliders 615; Schematically, a screw fixing block 614 for installing the first height sensor is installed on the frame C of the frame. Among them, the first lifting mechanism can be an existing equipment that can realize the lifting function, such as a screw lift, an electric push rod, a lifting cylinder, etc., schematically, the first lifting mechanism includes a first motor 6131, a first screw rod 6132 and a first slider 6133, one end of the first screw rod 6132 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 6131, and the other end of the first screw rod 6132 is fixed to the frame C through a screw rod fixing block 614; one side of the first slider 6133 is sleeved on the first screw rod 6132 and threadedly cooperates with the first screw rod 6132, and the other side of the first slider 6133 is fixed to the bottom of the first placement plate 611, so that when the first motor 6131 rotates, the first slider 6133 can move up and down along the first screw rod 6132, thereby driving the first placement plate 611 to move up and down along the first longitudinal guide rail 612.

[0064] In this embodiment, the height of the working plane of the first placement plate 611 refers to a height that enables the height of the packaging boxes stacked on the first placement plate 611 to always be maintained at a set height.

In this way, when the second motor 6231 rotates, the second slider can move up and down along the second screw rod 6232, thereby driving the second placement plate 621 to move up and down along the second longitudinal guide rail 622. It should be noted that the structural design of the empty box supply platform 62 is similar to that of the packaged product storage platform 61. Therefore, other contents of the empty box supply platform 62 can refer to the above description of the empty box supply platform 62, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] In this embodiment, the height of the working plane of the second placement plate 621 refers to a height that enables the height of the packaging boxes stacked on the second placement plate 621 to always be maintained at a set height.

[0067] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7, in an exemplary embodiment, the package transfer mechanism 63 includes a lateral sliding assembly 631 mounted on the frame, a longitudinal sliding assembly 632 mounted on the lateral sliding assembly 631, and a nozzle mounting bracket 633 mounted on the longitudinal sliding assembly 632. The lateral sliding assembly 631 and the longitudinal sliding assembly 632 are respectively connected to the computer system in signal. A plurality of vacuum nozzles 634 for adsorbing the packaging boxes containing qualified products are mounted on the nozzle mounting bracket 633. Among them, when the lateral sliding assembly 631 slides laterally, it can drive the longitudinal sliding assembly 632 and the nozzle mounting bracket 633 as a whole to transfer from the empty box supply platform 62 to the package storage platform 61 or from the package storage platform 61 to the empty box supply platform 62. Illustratively, the longitudinal sliding assembly 632 adopts the structural form of a slide table cylinder. The nozzle mounting bracket 633 is mounted on the slide table of the slide table cylinder. The slide table cylinder is longitudinally arranged. In this way, by controlling the up and down movement of the slide table of the slide table cylinder, the nozzle mounting bracket 633 together with each vacuum nozzle 634 can be driven to move up and down. The lateral sliding assembly 631 can be any one of a ball screw slider mechanism and a slide table cylinder. Illustratively, the lateral sliding assembly 631 adopts the structural form of a ball screw slider mechanism, that is, the lateral sliding assembly 631 includes a third motor 6311, a third screw rod (not shown in the figure), a third slider 6312, and a lateral guide rail 6313. One end of the third screw rod is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 6311. The third slider 6312 is slidably fitted on the lateral guide rail 6313, and the bottom of the third slider 6312 is sleeved on the third screw rod and is in threaded cooperation with the third screw rod. The longitudinal sliding assembly 632 is mounted on the third slider 6312 through a cylinder mounting plate 635. In this way, by controlling the rotation of the third motor 6311, the nozzle mounting bracket 633 together with each vacuum nozzle 634 can be driven to move left and right laterally.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the principle process of the above product packaging platform 6 is as follows:

[0069] Before use, place the stacked packaging boxes on the second placement plate 621. After the device is started, the computer system can control the second lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the second placement plate 621 according to the height signal fed back by the second sensor, so that the overall height of the packaging boxes meets the predetermined height for subsequent product grasping mechanism 5 to perform box loading. During the production process of the reinforcement plate, the product grasping mechanism 5 transfers the qualified products on the product conveying mechanism 3 to the packaging boxes on the empty box supply platform 62 for box loading. After the uppermost packaging box is full, control the longitudinal sliding component 632 to drive the suction nozzle mounting bracket 633 to move downward. At this time, each vacuum suction nozzle 634 is in a negative pressure state to adsorb the uppermost packaging box filled with qualified products. Subsequently, control the longitudinal sliding component 632 to reset (i.e., control the longitudinal sliding component 632 to move upward), and control the transverse sliding component 631 to move to the right (i.e., control the transverse sliding component 631 to move from one side of the empty box supply platform 62 to one side of the packaged product storage platform 61), so that the packaging box filled with qualified products and the longitudinal sliding component 632 can move to the right as a whole. After the transverse sliding component 631 moves to one side of the packaged product storage platform 61, control the longitudinal sliding component 632 to drive the suction nozzle mounting bracket 633 to move downward. At this time, each vacuum suction nozzle 634 releases the negative pressure to place the packaging box filled with qualified products on the first placement plate 611 for temporary storage. Then control the transverse sliding component 631 to reset (i.e., control the transverse sliding component 631 to move from one side of the packaged product storage platform 61 to one side of the empty box supply platform 62). By repeating this process, the packaging boxes filled with qualified products on the second placement plate 621 can be successively transferred to the first placement plate 611 for temporary storage.Among them, during the process of successively transferring the packaging boxes containing qualified products on the second placement plate 621 to the first placement plate 611 for temporary storage, the second height sensor can monitor the working plane height of the second placement plate 621 in real time. For example, when the uppermost packaging box is transferred, the working plane height of the second placement plate 621 becomes lower. At this time, the second height sensor will feedback the signal that the working plane height of the second placement plate becomes lower to the computer system. Then, the computer system controls the second lifting mechanism to push the second placement plate 621 upward, so that the overall height of the packaging boxes can meet the predetermined height, thereby realizing the supply of empty boxes for continuous subsequent box loading operations. Similarly, during the process of successively transferring the packaging boxes containing qualified products on the second placement plate 621 to the first placement plate 611 for temporary storage, the first height sensor can monitor the working plane height of the first placement plate 611 in real time. For example, when the packaging box is placed on the first placement plate 611, the working plane height of the first placement plate 611 becomes higher. At this time, the first height sensor will feedback the signal that the working plane height of the first placement plate becomes higher to the computer system. Then, the computer system controls the first lifting mechanism to pull the first placement plate 611 downward, so that the overall height of the packaging boxes on the first placement plate 611 can meet the predetermined height, thereby realizing the supply of placement space for temporarily storing more packaging boxes containing qualified products.

[0070] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, the product size detection mechanism 4 includes a camera 41 and a light source 42 installed on the frame. The camera 41 and the light source 42 are respectively signal-connected to the computer system. Among them, the light-emitting surface of the light source 42 is arranged towards the conveying line of the product conveying mechanism 3 and forms a detection position on the conveying line; the camera 41 is arranged towards the detection position and is used for collecting the size data of the single reinforcing plate located at the detection position and sending the collected size data to the computer system. Among them, lamps such as LED lamps can be used as the above-mentioned light source 42. Illustratively, the light source 42 is installed above the product conveying mechanism 3 through a detection bracket. The number of the light sources 42 is two. The two light sources 42 are arranged oppositely with a gap therebetween. The camera 41 is installed on the detection bracket and above the gap between the two light sources 42; the camera 41 can be a camera 41 with a built-in control chip or a camera 41 without a built-in control chip. Among them, when the camera 41 has a built-in control chip, the relevant data processing can be completed by the camera 41 itself, and when the camera 41 does not have a built-in control chip, the relevant data processing can be handed over to the computer system. Among them, the camera 41 is preferably a CCD (Charge Coupled Device Image Sensor) camera. In this way, the outer dimensions and center coordinate positions of each single reinforcing plate at the detection position can be obtained through the existing CCD image processing technology.

[0071] In this embodiment, the principle process of the product size detection mechanism 4 is as follows:

[0072] During blanking, the computer system controls the telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the convex template 11 to press down, stripping multiple single-piece reinforcement plates from the to-be-processed plate. The multiple single-piece reinforcement plates fall dispersedly onto the conveyor belt (assuming the product conveying mechanism 3 is a belt conveyor) below the concave template 12 and are conveyed to the detection position; when the single-piece reinforcement plate reaches the detection position (for example, it can be judged whether the single-piece reinforcement plate has reached the detection position by setting an optoelectronic sensor at the detection position; or when the product conveying mechanism 3 is a belt conveyor, it can be judged whether the single-piece reinforcement plate has reached the detection position by reading the working parameters of the servo motor in the belt conveyor), control the product conveying mechanism 3 to stop working, and at the same time control the light source 42 and the camera 41 to turn on. The camera 41 collects the image information of each single-piece reinforcement plate at the detection position and sends it to the computer system. The computer system performs image processing on the received image information through a preset image processing algorithm (for example, through an existing CCD image processing algorithm. Of course, other existing image processing algorithms can also be used as long as they can meet the usage requirements. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this), so as to obtain the outer shape size and the central coordinate position of each single-piece reinforcement plate. Among them, after obtaining the outer shape size of each single-piece reinforcement plate, by comparing each obtained outer shape size with the preset size standard respectively, it can be judged whether the corresponding single-piece reinforcement plate is a qualified product; at the same time, after obtaining the central coordinate position of each single-piece reinforcement plate, the computer system sends the corresponding central coordinate position to the product conveying mechanism 3, so that the product grasping mechanism 5 can accurately grasp the corresponding single-piece reinforcement plate according to the corresponding central coordinate position. Among them, when a certain single-piece reinforcement plate is a qualified product, control the product grasping mechanism 5 to transfer the qualified product to the second placement plate 621 for boxing, and when a certain single-piece reinforcement plate is a defective product, control the product grasping mechanism 5 to transfer the defective product to a predetermined position for placement.

[0073] Further, referring to Figure 1 , in an exemplary embodiment, the aforementioned automated production device for reinforcement plates further includes a display 9 installed on the frame, and the display 9 is signal-connected to the computer system. In this way, relevant working information can be obtained in real time through the display 9.

[0074] Correspondingly, referring to Figures 1 to 8 , the embodiment of the present invention also provides a working method for the automated production device for reinforcement plates in any of the above embodiments, including the following steps:

[0075] Step S1, after receiving the start instruction triggered by the user, control the blanking mechanism 1 to punch the to-be-processed plate placed thereon to strip the single-piece reinforcement plate from the to-be-processed plate;

[0076] Step S2, control the waste discharging mechanism 2 to recycle the to-be-processed sheet after blanking;

[0077] Step S3, control the product conveying mechanism 3 to convey the single-piece reinforcing plate that has fallen thereon to the detection position of the product size detection mechanism 4;

[0078] Step S4, control the product size detection mechanism 4 to detect the size of the single-piece reinforcing plate located on the product conveying mechanism 3 to obtain the size data of the single-piece reinforcing plate;

[0079] Step S5, receive the size data sent by the product size detection mechanism 4 and perform calculations to obtain the size result of the single-piece reinforcing plate;

[0080] Step S6, compare the size result with the preset size standard to determine whether the single-piece reinforcing plate is qualified;

[0081] When the judgment result is qualified, then execute Step S7, control the product gripping mechanism 5 to transfer the qualified single-piece reinforcing plate to the empty box supply platform 62 for boxing. Among them, the empty box supply platform 62 has a packaging box placement area for placing packaging boxes, and the packaging boxes are used for the product gripping mechanism 5 to perform boxing;

[0082] When the judgment result is unqualified, then execute Step S8, control the product gripping mechanism 5 to transfer the unqualified single-piece reinforcing plate to a predetermined position.

[0083] In the above Step S1, as Figure 1 shown, the frame is further provided with a control panel 8 signal-connected to the computer system. Function buttons such as a switch button and a reset button are arranged on the control panel 8. In some exemplary embodiments, in use, after manually placing the to-be-processed sheet on the concave template 12, the switches of each mechanism can be turned on to start their coordinated work. Among them, when the entire device completes a production process (i.e., after processing a to-be-tested sheet), the reset button can be operated to control each mechanism to reset, so as to control each mechanism to execute the next production process.

[0084] It should be noted that for the relevant principle processes of the above Steps S2 to S8, reference can be made to the relevant content description of the above-mentioned reinforcing plate automatic production device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0086] It should be noted that other contents of the disclosed reinforcing plate automatic production device of the present invention can be referred to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0087] As described above, it is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it does not impose any formal restrictions on the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and decorations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
