They increase the thickness and length of the sheets through compounding and splicing, thereby achieving the desired shape and fixing of the acrylic sheets.

The distance between the horizontal folding edge and the rubber strip support plate is less than the thickness of the upper acrylic plate, and the distance between the rubber strip support plate and the lower support plate is the same as the thickness of the lower acrylic plate. The thickness of the acrylic sheet is determined by the adhesive strip support plate, which presses against the adhesive strip between the upper and lower acrylic sheets.

The spherical second-level airbag is formed perpendicular to the inclined folding edge. When the scraper body moves forward horizontally outward, the oblique folding edge of the clamping spring is pushed instantly and quickly. Combined with the elastic force of the auxiliary spring acting on the lower support plate, the fixture is quickly disassembled from the horizontal side of the thick integral acrylic plate and falls into the fixture collection tank;
[0021] (6) Preparation and operation for longitudinal disassembly: The longitudinal driving slider is driven by the longitudinal bidirectional coaxial cylinder to move relatively to the top of the longitudinally positioned thick integral acrylic plate, so that the upper disassembly scraper device below the longitudinal driving slider corresponds to the upper inner side of the longitudinal side of the thick integral acrylic plate; the subsequent operation steps are the same as those in steps (4) and (5), and the fixture is quickly disassembled from the longitudinal side of the thick integral acrylic plate and falls into the fixture collection tank.

The process for disassembling acrylic plates by an automatic clamping mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: (1) Feeding: Use multiple clamps to install each of the four sides of the upper and lower acrylic plates. The clamps include a column plate, a mounting plate, a clamping spring, a rubber strip support plate, and a lower support plate. The mounting plate, the rubber strip support plate, and the lower support plate are vertically arranged on the upper, middle, and lower sides of the column plate, respectively. The clamping spring is installed on the mounting plate. The clamping spring is folded obliquely outward and downward, and then folded horizontally and pressed onto the upper acrylic plate. The distance between the horizontal folded edge and the rubber strip support plate is less than the thickness of the upper acrylic plate, and the distance between the rubber strip support plate and the lower support plate is The thickness of the acrylic plate, the rubber strip support plate is pressed against the rubber strip between the upper and lower acrylic plates; glue is poured between the upper and lower acrylic plates to compound and solidify them into a thick integral acrylic plate; the thick integral acrylic plate is fed into the corresponding conveying device of the conveyor belt, supported on the conveying rollers of multiple conveying rollers, and the lateral positioning of the feeding position is controlled by the lateral auxiliary positioning sensor through the conveyor belt. After the lateral positioning, it is sent to the conveying device as a whole, and the longitudinal positioning of the feeding position is controlled by the longitudinal auxiliary positioning sensor; (3) Suction and fixation: Control the lifting drive motor to drive the vertical reversing reducer to output in four directions through the horizontal horizontal and vertical four output shafts. The worm gear of the worm gear group on one side is engaged with the worm gear. The worm gear drives the lifting frame to rise vertically through the spiral rotation. The lifting frame is sucked by the vacuum suction cup through the support column to the lower end surface of the thick integral acrylic plate and lifted to fix the support; (4) Preparation for lateral disassembly: The lateral drive motor drives the lateral drive gear set. The two lateral drive chains on the two gears of the lateral drive gear set respectively drive the lateral drive sliders on both sides to move relative to each other to the upper side of the transversely positioned thick integral acrylic plate. The auxiliary positioning sensor makes the upper disassembly scraper device under the lateral drive slider correspond to the upper inner side of the lateral side of the thick integral acrylic plate; the scraper rotating cylinder drives the scraper body to rotate outward horizontally to the upper side of the fixture mounting plate through the scraper rotating shaft, and controls the lifting drive motor to slightly lift the thick integral acrylic plate. The upper end surface of the thick integral acrylic plate squeezes the clamping spring, and an auxiliary elastic gap is left between the lower end of the thick integral acrylic plate and the lower support plate; when different sizes of fixtures are used for thick integral acrylic plates of different thicknesses and the length of the lower support plate changes, the stepper motor is adjusted to drive the adjustment arm to rotate through the adjustment gear meshing. , control the auxiliary drive one rod and the second rod hinged adjustment slider to change the initial horizontal movement in the adjustment slide groove on the adjustment tooth arm into an inclined movement, so that the auxiliary insertion swing arm changes the initial rotation position when the auxiliary drive one rod and the second rod are linked, and the auxiliary insertion swing arm at the initial horizontal position is rotated and adjusted from the lateral inner side to the outer side of the clamp direction, thereby adjusting the position of the auxiliary spring relative to the clamp, and the auxiliary drive motor output is connected to the auxiliary conjugate cam through the two rotors through the rotor swing arm to drive the auxiliary drive one rod and the second rod to drive the auxiliary insertion swing arm around the central auxiliary insertion rotation axis to drive the auxiliary spring at its upper end to insert into the auxiliary elastic gap, and control the insertion horizontal depth not to exceed 2 / 3 of the length of the lower support plate; after the auxiliary spring is inserted, the lifting drive motor returns to step (3) to attract the fixed height, and the auxiliary spring is elastically deformed and pressed between the lower acrylic plate and the lower support plate; (5) Horizontal disassembly operation: The scraper rotating cylinder drives the scraper body to rotate vertically downward through the scraper rotating shaft. The solenoid valve controls the first-level air valve to supply air to the first-level airbag, so that the first-level airbag is formed into a triangular structure facing the fixture. The scraper body is driven by the horizontal driving slider to make the upper-level airbag fit the oblique folded edge of the clamping spring. The pressure of the first-level airbag changes after being compressed. The pressure sensor connected to it controls the second-level air valve through the air pipe to supply air to the second-level airbag. The spherical second-level airbag is formed perpendicular to the inclined folded edge. When the scraper body moves forward horizontally outward, the oblique folded edge of the clamping spring is instantly and quickly pushed. Combined with the elastic force of the auxiliary spring on the lower support plate, the fixture is quickly disassembled from the lateral side of the thick integral acrylic plate and falls into the fixture collection tank; (6) Longitudinal disassembly preparation and operation: The longitudinal bidirectional coaxial cylinder drives the longitudinal driving slider to move relatively to the top of the longitudinally positioned thick integral acrylic plate, so that the upper disassembly scraper device below the longitudinal driving slider corresponds to the upper inner side of the longitudinal side of the thick integral acrylic plate; the subsequent operation steps are the same as those in steps (4) and (5), and the fixture is quickly disassembled from the longitudinal side of the thick integral acrylic plate and falls into the fixture collection tank.
