DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a material integration device to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. The device is suitable for the integration of sheet materials, can effectively prevent the materials from curling, piling and the like, and can also adjust the material angle according to the integration requirements. It has the characteristics of high integration accuracy and high work efficiency.

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a material integration device, including a material transfer mechanism, an integration mechanism 3 and a conveying mechanism 6 connected to a control system signal. The material transfer mechanism is used to place the material to be integrated on the integration mechanism 3 and transfer the integrated material to the conveying mechanism 6.

[0028] The material transfer mechanism includes a manipulator 1 and a vacuum adsorption table 2. The vacuum adsorption table 2 is installed at the hand action end of the manipulator 1 and is used to adsorb the material to be integrated and the integrated material; the integration mechanism 3 includes a vacuum negative pressure workbench 35, an angle adjustment table 5 and an electric push rod 4. The material to be integrated is placed on the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35. The angle adjustment table 5 is slidably set on the top surface of the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 and is located on the side of the material to be integrated. The electric push rod 4 is used to push the material to be integrated to make it horizontal; the conveying mechanism 6 includes a conveyor belt for placing the integrated material.

[0029] The material integration equipment is mainly suitable for sheet materials. First, the manipulator 1 is rotated to align the raw materials. The vacuum adsorption table 2 installed at the working end of the manipulator 1 is used to adsorb the materials and transfer them to the integration mechanism 3. The vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 in the integration mechanism 3 can provide vacuum negative pressure to make the materials sucked tightly on the workbench to prevent the materials from curling and piling. Then, the materials are integrated through the angle adjustment table 5 and the electric push rod 4. The integrated materials are then transferred to the conveying mechanism 6 through the manipulator 1 with the vacuum adsorption table 2 on the other side for subsequent processing operations.

[0030] For sheet materials, the vacuum adsorption loading method can directly adsorb the topmost sheet material from the top of the original stacked materials, which will neither cause the problem of over-feeding nor affect the flatness of the lower layer materials, ensuring that only the single layer of materials to be integrated is adsorbed and placed on the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35.

[0031] More specifically, the material transfer mechanism in the material integration device of the present invention includes the following features:

[0032] The vacuum adsorption platform 2 includes a vacuum detector and a plurality of vacuum suction cups. Each vacuum suction cup is connected to the vacuum pump assembly through a pipeline. The plurality of vacuum suction cups are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the vacuum adsorption platform 2 and are used to suck the material tightly. The vacuum detector is used to detect the pressure value of the vacuum suction cup. The vacuum detector detects the vacuum pressure value of the suction cup. After reaching the set pressure value (the suction force between the suction cup and the material is sufficient), the manipulator 1 moves to move and load the material. Through the cooperation of the vacuum detector and the vacuum suction cup, it is ensured that there is sufficient suction force between the material and the suction cup to suck up the material, which can prevent the material from slipping and falling during the loading and moving process. The set pressure value of the vacuum detector can also be pre-set according to the different suction forces required for different materials.

[0033] The vacuum adsorption platform 2 also includes a plurality of longitudinal chutes and transverse chutes. The plurality of longitudinal chutes are fixed in parallel and at equal intervals on the bottom working surface of the vacuum adsorption platform 2. A plurality of groups of sliders are correspondingly arranged in each longitudinal chute. Each group of sliders is fixedly connected to a transverse chute. The plurality of groups of transverse chutes are parallel. A plurality of vacuum suction cups are slidably connected to the transverse chute. The vacuum adsorption platform can be applied to the spacing adjustment adsorption of raw materials of different sizes. The specific operation is as follows: adjusting the position of the corresponding slider of the vacuum suction cup in the transverse chute can adjust the distance between two adjacent suction cups; adjusting the position of the slider at the top of the transverse chute in the longitudinal chute can adjust the spacing between two adjacent transverse chutes. Among them, the upper and lower positions of the transverse chute and the longitudinal chute are not limited. The transverse chute can also be set at the top and the longitudinal chute at the bottom.

[0034] Integration mechanism 3 also includes the following:

[0035] The vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 includes a work surface and a hollow chamber. The workbench is installed on a frame 32 with feet 31. The work surface for placing the materials to be integrated is integrally arranged on the top of the hollow chamber. A number of air holes are evenly opened on the work surface. The hollow chamber is connected to the vacuum pump through a pipeline. The vacuum pump evacuates the hollow chamber, so that the workbench with air holes is in a vacuum negative pressure state, and the materials to be integrated are sucked tightly on the workbench, ensuring that all corners and edges of the materials are adsorbed on the workbench.

[0036] After the materials are sucked tightly onto the workbench by vacuum negative pressure, the materials can be integrated. The angle adjustment table 5 of the material integration part is composed of a left angle adjustment table and a right angle adjustment table. The sliding range of the left angle adjustment table is from the left side of the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 to the right, and the sliding range of the right angle adjustment table is from the right side of the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 to the left. The left angle adjustment table is provided with multiple rows of positioning holes 1 at an angle, and the right angle adjustment table is provided with multiple rows of positioning holes 2 at an angle. The corresponding inclination angles of the positioning holes 1 and 2 are complementary to each other; each positioning hole 51 is spirally installed with a positioning pin, and the positioning pin is used to adjust the inclination angle of the material.

[0037] The two angle adjustment platforms 5 have two action modes:

[0038] One is that the two angle adjustment platforms 5 move synchronously, and the left angle adjustment platform and the right angle adjustment platform move synchronously toward the material from the left and right sides of the material to be integrated respectively. The angle adjustment platforms 5 on the left and right sides provide two benchmarks for the angle adjustment of the material. When the angle adjustment platforms 5 on both sides are in contact with the material, the material angle is adjusted in place, and the two angle adjustment platforms 5 stop moving. The overall angle adjustment process is short in time and highly efficient, and can improve the integration accuracy.

[0039] Furthermore, another working mode is: the action selection sequence of the two angle adjustment platforms 5 is different, the angle adjustment platform 5 on one side moves first, and there is a time difference in the starting time of the action of the two angle adjustment platforms 5. When the angle adjustment platform 5 on one side moves into place, one side of the material is integrated and aligned, and then the angle adjustment platform 5 on the other side moves into place again to integrate and align the material again. The order in which the two angle adjustment platforms 5 move in succession is matched with the two side positioning holes 51 inclined at complementary angles to each other, so that there are two benchmarks in the integration process of the material. The angle adjustment platform 5 of the previous action uses the inclined positioning hole 1 as the preliminary integration benchmark, and the angle adjustment platform 5 of the latter action uses the positioning hole 2 benchmark for precise integration (the inclination direction of positioning hole 1 and positioning hole 2 is the same, and the horizontal right side is used as the benchmark, and the inclination angles of the oblique lines where positioning hole 1 and positioning hole 2 are located are complementary angles), and the angle adjustment platform 5 can adjust multiple materials in an angle range greater than 0° and less than 180°, which can effectively reduce the angle tolerance value and improve the integration accuracy.

[0040] The above two working modes of the angle adjustment table 5 can be appropriately selected according to the needs of the specific production and processing process, and its working mode is not limited.

[0041] The movement of the two angle adjustment platforms 5 is driven by the movement of the belt 33. Specifically, a belt drive group 1 and a belt drive group 2 are installed on both sides of the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35 to drive the left angle adjustment platform 5 and the right angle adjustment platform 5 respectively; the belt drive group 1 includes two groups of driving wheels and driven wheels symmetrically installed on both sides of the vacuum negative pressure workbench 35. The driving wheel driven by the motor 41 is connected to the driven wheel through the belt 33. A vertical support column 34 is fixedly connected to the belt 33. The vertical support columns 34 on the belts 33 on both sides are symmetrically arranged. The vertical support columns 34 are used to support the left angle adjustment platform 5 to move with the belt 33; the belt drive group 2 has the same structure as the belt drive group 1, and the belt drive group 2 is used to support and drive the right angle adjustment platform 5 to move. Among them, the driving mode of the angle adjustment platform 5 is not limited, and other driving forms can be adopted according to actual use conditions, as long as the corresponding movement requirements can be met.

[0042] The positioning pin includes a bolt 511 and a push piece 512. The bolt 511 is screwed into the positioning hole 51. The bottom of the screw is fixedly connected with a push piece 512 for pushing the material. The push piece 512 is arranged parallel to the side of the material. The push piece 512 pushes the material to move and integrate, and under the premise that the material is adsorbed by the vacuum negative pressure workbench, the material will not curl when it is pushed.

[0043] For the integration of materials, gapless assembly is first performed. Specifically, the electric push rod 4 includes an electric cylinder 42 driven by a motor 41, a guide shaft 45 and a push rod 46. A vertical plate 43 for supporting and fixing the electric cylinder 42 and the guide shaft 45 is provided on the vacuum negative pressure workbench 2. The guide shaft 45 is fixed to the vertical plate 43 through a bearing 44. The electric cylinder 42 and the guide shaft 45 are arranged in parallel and the ends of both are fixedly connected to the push rod 46. A spring steel sheet 47 for contacting the material is installed on the outer side of the push rod 46. The guide shaft 45 and the electric cylinder 42 cooperate so that the push rod 46 can horizontally push multiple materials to one side of the workbench without gaps, and then adjust the angle under the premise of zero gaps between multiple materials.

[0044] Taking one long side of the vacuum workbench as the reference, the electric push rod 4 is first used to push the material to fit the reference side, and then the angle adjustment table 5 is used to adjust the angles on both sides. After the adjustment is completed, it is transported to the subsequent processing platform by the conveying mechanism 6. The integration equipment is machine-operated throughout the entire operation process, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. While improving work efficiency, it also ensures the accuracy of material integration, and has better use and promotion significance.

[0045] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
