At one end of the clamp 12, the telescopic cylinder 112 is provided with a push rod 1121, the free end of the push rod 1121 is set downward, the clamp 111 is installed on the free end of the push rod 1121, and the push rod 1121 of the telescopic cylinder 112 pushes the clamp 111 to make a linear motion; the opening of the cattail sheet storage box 3 faces upward; when taking materials, the material taking clamp 12 is located on the table top of the workbench 2, and the cattail sheet taking module 11 is located above the cattail sheet storage box 3, and the telescopic cylinder 112 drives the clamp 111 to descend and clamp the cattail sheet loaded in the cattail sheet storage box 3.

[0023] The automatic naphtha taking system for processing flexible materials can complete the naphtha taking action while taking up flexible materials, including flexible materials such as fiber materials, textiles, leather, etc., and realizes the automation of naphtha taking. The workbench 2 is rotatable and used for dyeing and printing flexible materials, and the naphtha sheet storage box 3 rotates with the workbench 2.

[0024] The flexible material to be processed is manually laid on the workbench 2. If the flexible material contains fluff, the fluff is placed in the fluff sheet storage box 3; the fluff sheet storage box 3 rotates with the workbench 2, and after processing is completed, the fluff sheet storage box 3 is transferred to the workstation of the material picking robot 1; then the clamp 111 in the fluff picking module 11 is aligned with the fluff sheet storage box 3, and the push rod 1121 of the telescopic cylinder 112 pushes the clamp 111 to reach the fluff sheet storage box 3, and the clamp 111 clamps the fluff; at the same time, the material picking fixture 12 picks up the processed flexible material, so that the flexible material and fluff are collected by the material picking robot 1.

[0025] Preferably, the workbench 2 is embedded with a rotating drive mechanism for driving the workbench 2 to rotate; the workbench 2 is also provided with a crossbeam 21 and a mounting plate 22, the crossbeam 21 is arranged on the lower surface of the workbench 2, one end of the mounting plate 22 is installed on one side of the crossbeam 21, and the other end of the mounting plate 22 is fixed to the edge of the workbench 2, and the film storage box 3 is installed on the other end of the mounting plate 22.

When the workbench 2 is transferred to the workstation of the material-retrieving robot 1, the light signal emitted by the photoelectric sensor 113 is blocked by the film storage box 3 or the mounting plate 22, so that the photoelectric sensor 113 generates a driving signal and transmits the driving signal to the telescopic cylinder 112, and the telescopic cylinder 112 pushes the push rod 1121 downward to push the clamping claw 111 to move downward, and clamp the film in the film storage box 3.

[0029] Preferably, the film storage box 3 is further provided with a film tape positioning piece 32 , and the film tape positioning piece 32 is movably inserted into the film storage box 3 .

[0035] Preferably, the clamp 111 is a pneumatic clamp or an electric clamp.

[0036] The clamping of the clamping jaws 111 can be driven by existing pneumatic or electric driving methods, and it is more convenient to adjust the clamping force of the clamping jaws 111.

[0037] Preferably, the opening of the clamping jaw 111 is larger than the width of the filament band.

[0038] When the opening of the clamping jaw 111 is larger than the width of the filament band, clamping can be completed stably and reliably.

[0039] Preferably, the telescopic cylinder 112 is a telescopic pneumatic cylinder or a telescopic electric cylinder.

[0040] By using a telescopic air cylinder or a telescopic electric cylinder to drive the clamping jaw 111 to move up and down, it is more convenient to adjust the movement of the clamping jaw 111.

[0041] Preferably, the material picking fixture 12 is provided with a plurality of side-by-side material picking units, each of which includes a driving cylinder 121, a splint mounting seat 122 and a movable splint 123, wherein the movable splint 123 is hinged to the telescopic shaft of the driving cylinder 121 through the splint mounting seat 122, and the driving cylinder 121 drives the movable splint 123 to open and close relative to the splint mounting seat 122, and the splint mounting seat 122 is fixedly mounted with an air nozzle mounting plate 124, and air nozzles 125 are connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the air nozzle mounting plate 124, and the jet direction of the nozzle of the air nozzle 125 is obliquely downward.

[0042] The driving cylinder 121 drives the movable clamp 123 to move. The movable clamp 123 and the clamp mounting seat 122 form a clamp that can clamp flexible materials. The clamp mounting seat 122 presses one side of the flexible material when grabbing, so that the material will not move during the clamping process. The material picking clamp 12 has a leveling function. By setting two air nozzles 125 at the lower end of the air nozzle mounting plate 124, the movement of the material picking clamp 12 drives the air nozzles 125 to move. The air nozzles 125 blow air at the same time, using air flow to achieve the effect of flattening the flexible material. In addition, because the position of the air nozzles 125 is fixed, the blowing angle remains unchanged, ensuring a stable blowing effect.

[0043] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can associate other specific implementations of the present invention without paying creative labor, and these methods will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
