Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plate cutting and stacking, and particularly to a continuous plate cutting and stacking process and device. Background Art

[0002] Plates play a role in carrying active substances and conducting electricity in lead-acid battery plates and are an important part of the battery. A continuous plate is composed of multiple columns and rows of single plates connected together. In traditional plate cutting and stacking, the continuous plate is cut into single plates at one time by a rotary shear, and then the scattered single plates are stacked by means of vibration adsorption and the like. However, the effect of this cutting and stacking is not good, and the stacking is not neat, especially for small sealed plates.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a continuous plate cutting and stacking process and device to avoid the defect of uneven plate stacking and maximize the advantage of automatic stacking. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a continuous plate cutting and stacking process and device to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. By changing the cutting and stacking process and device, the effect of plate cutting and stacking is improved, the advantage of automatic stacking is maximized, and the working efficiency is improved at the same time.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a continuous plate cutting and stacking process and device, including a continuous plate cutter, a flat conveyor, a continuous plate stacker, and a manipulator cutter arranged in sequence.

[0007] The continuous plate stacker includes a conveyor belt mechanism, a counter for counting the number of continuous plates, a telescopic baffle and a fixed baffle for blocking the movement of the continuous plates; the telescopic baffle is fixedly arranged below the conveyor belt mechanism; the fixed baffle is fixedly arranged at one end of the conveyor belt mechanism close to the manipulator cutter; the conveyor belt mechanism includes a narrow conveyor belt for supporting the plate connection part and a wide conveyor belt for supporting the bottom end of the plate.

[0008] Preferably, the continuous plate cutter includes a plate traction and positioning mechanism and a plate cutting mechanism; the plate traction and positioning mechanism includes a traction roller, and traction teeth are arranged on the traction roller; the plate cutting mechanism includes an upper roller and a lower roller, and a transverse cutting knife parallel to the axial direction of the upper roller is arranged on the side surface of the upper roller.

[0009] Preferably, a dryer is further included, and the dryer is arranged between the continuous plate cutter and the flat conveyor.

[0010] Preferably, the flat conveyor includes a flat conveyor belt assembly for conveying the continuous plates, and two sets of flat conveyor guiding and aligning assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the flat conveyor belt assembly; each set of the flat conveyor guiding and aligning assemblies includes a guiding conveyor belt in the same movement direction as the continuous plates; the flat conveyor belt assembly includes more than two flat drive belts, and each flat drive belt contacts the lower surface of the single plate on the continuous plates; the guiding conveyor belt is perpendicular to the belt surface of the flat drive belt; the guiding conveyor belt contacts the two side edges of the continuous plates.

[0011] Preferably, the manipulator cutting machine is a manipulator sawing machine, and the manipulator sawing machine includes a manipulator for grasping the plate stack and a sawing machine for sawing the continuous plate stack into single plate stacks.

[0012] A continuous plate cutting and stacking process, based on the above-mentioned continuous plate cutting and stacking device, includes the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: The continuous plates formed by connecting multiple columns and rows of single plates are cut into continuous plates with multiple columns and single rows by the continuous plate cutting machine.

[0014] Step 2: The continuous plates obtained in Step 1 are conveyed onto the flat conveyor and then conveyed to the continuous plate stacking machine, so that the continuous plates are flipped 90 degrees from the horizontal state to the vertical state.

[0015] Step 3: The continuous plates after flipping in Step 2 are stacked to form a continuous plate stack composed of multiple continuous plates.

[0016] Step 4: The continuous plate stack is cut into single plate stacks by the manipulator cutting machine to complete the cutting and stacking work of the continuous plates.

[0017] Preferably, in Step 2, during the conveying process of the flat conveyor, the positions of the continuous plates are corrected by the two sets of flat conveyor guiding and aligning assemblies, so that the plate connection parts in the continuous plates are aligned with the corresponding narrow conveyor belts on the continuous plate stacking machine.

[0018] Preferably, in Step 2, when the continuous plates are conveyed to the continuous plate stacking machine, the lower part of the plate connection part in the continuous plates is clamped to the narrow conveyor belt, and the wide conveyor belt contacts the bottom end of the plates. When the plate connection part moves to the end of the flat conveyor, the 90-degree flipping work of the continuous plates from the horizontal state to the vertical state is completed under the action of inertia and gravity.

[0019] Preferably, in step three, the continuous plates are conveyed by the continuous plate stacking machine and stacked at one end of the continuous plate stacking machine. Under the action of the wide conveyor belt and the narrow conveyor belt, a stack of continuous plates is formed in front of the telescopic baffle and / or the fixed baffle. The number of plates passing through the counter is counted by the counter. When the number of plates in the stack of continuous plates reaches the set quantity, the telescopic baffle extends to temporarily block the continuous plates entering the continuous plate stacking machine later and form a new stack of continuous plates, so as to facilitate the removal of the stack of continuous plates that has reached the counted value. After the stack of continuous plates is taken away, the telescopic baffle retracts to release the stack of continuous plates that has been temporarily blocked.

[0020] Preferably, in step four, the manipulator in the manipulator cutting machine grabs the stacked stack of continuous plates and drives the manipulator to move above the sawing machine. The stack of continuous plates is sawed into single-piece stacks by the cooperation of the manipulator and the sawing machine.

[0021] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0022] The present invention first transversely cuts continuous plates into continuous plates, and utilizes the cooperation between the plate connection part and the wide and narrow conveyor belts on the continuous plate stacking machine to complete the 90-degree flipping of the continuous plates from the horizontal state to the vertical state under the action of inertia and gravity, and stacks them. Then, the stacked stack of continuous plates is secondarily cut by the manipulator cutting machine to cut the continuous plates into single-piece plates, completing the cutting and stacking work of continuous plates. Since the conveying, flipping and stacking effects of the present invention are good, the deviation in the shearing process is reduced, and the accuracy of shearing is improved.

[0023] The present invention successively completes the cutting, rectifying, stacking, and secondary cutting of continuous plates through steps such as the continuous plate cutting machine, the flat conveyor, the continuous plate stacking machine, and the manipulator cutting machine provided. By changing the cutting and stacking process and device, the present invention improves the effect of plate shearing and stacking, maximizes the advantage of automatic palletizing, and improves work efficiency at the same time.

[0044] The flat conveyor 5 includes a flat conveyor belt assembly 51 for conveying the continuous plate 81, and two groups of flat conveyor guiding assemblies 52 are symmetrically arranged along the left and right sides of the flat conveyor belt assembly 51; each group of flat conveyor guiding assemblies 52 includes a guiding conveyor belt 521 in the same movement direction as the continuous plate 81; the flat conveyor belt assembly 51 includes more than two flat conveyor belts 511, and each flat conveyor belt 511 contacts the lower surface of the single plate 811 on the continuous plate 81; the guiding conveyor belt 521 is perpendicular to the belt surface of the flat conveyor belt 511; the guiding conveyor belt 521 contacts the two side edges of the continuous plate 81. When the continuous plate 81 reaches near the flat conveyor guiding assembly 52, the two guiding conveyor belts 521 correct the position of the continuous plate 81, so that the plate connection part 812 is aligned with the narrow conveyor belt 611.

[0045] The continuous plate stacking machine 6 includes a conveyor belt mechanism 61, a counter 62 for counting the number of continuous plates 81, a telescopic baffle 63 and a fixed baffle 64 for blocking the movement of the continuous plates 81; the telescopic baffle 63 is fixedly arranged below the conveyor belt mechanism 61; the fixed baffle 64 is fixedly arranged at one end of the conveyor belt mechanism 61 close to the manipulator cutting machine 7; the conveyor belt mechanism 61 includes a narrow conveyor belt 611 for supporting the plate connection part 812 and a wide conveyor belt 612 for supporting the bottom end of the plate 811.

[0046] The manipulator cutting machine 7 is a manipulator sawing machine, which includes a manipulator 71 for grasping the plate stack and a sawing machine 72 for sawing the continuous plate stack 82 into single-piece plate stacks 83.

[0047] A continuous plate cutting and stacking process, based on the above-mentioned continuous plate cutting and stacking device, includes the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: The continuous plate 8 composed of multiple columns and rows of single-piece plates 811 is cut into continuous plates 81 with multiple columns and single rows by the continuous plate cutting machine 1.

[0049] Step 2: The continuous plates 81 obtained in Step 1 are conveyed onto the flat conveyor 5 and then to the continuous plate stacking machine 6, so that the continuous plates 81 are flipped 90 degrees from the horizontal state to the vertical state; during the conveying process of the flat conveyor 5, the positions of the continuous plates 81 are corrected by two groups of flat conveyor alignment components, so that the plate connection part 812 in the continuous plates is aligned with the corresponding narrow conveyor belt 611 on the continuous plate stacking machine 6.

When the number of plates 811 in the stack of continuous plates 82 reaches a set quantity, the telescopic baffle 63 extends out to temporarily block the subsequent continuous plates 81 entering the continuous plate stacking machine 6 and form a new stack of continuous plates 82, so as to facilitate the removal of the stack of continuous plates 82 that has reached the counted value. After the stack of continuous plates 82 is removed, the telescopic baffle 63 retracts to release the temporarily blocked stack of continuous plates 82.

[0052] Step 4: Cut the stack of continuous plates 82 into single-piece plate stacks 83 by a manipulator cutting machine 7. A manipulator 71 in the manipulator cutting machine 7 grabs the stacked stack of continuous plates 82 and drives the manipulator 71 to move above a sawing machine 72.

The cutting and stacking work of the continuous plates is completed.
