Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of optical detection, and particularly relates to a high-speed material receiving system. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional material receiving field, the material receiving of metal foils, pictures, copper clad laminates, papers, nursing pads, polarizers, prepregs, and optical films mostly uses material frames to receive and then manually arrange them into stacks one by one. The material receiving actions are frequent, the labor intensity is high, and it is very easy to damage the products. Moreover, the efficiency is low. In particular, when the distance between the sheet materials is extremely small and the speed of the production line is 2 m / s, it is simply impossible to perform on-line manual operations. Accordingly, a material receiving mechanism appears to replace manual material receiving, but the structure is complex, and there are limited requirements for the speed of the production line, the distance between the sheet materials, and the types of sheet materials. It can only be applied to large material distances and very low speeds, which seriously leads to low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The system has a reasonable structure, can be applied to a high-speed material receiving production line, has no limitation requirements for the distance between the sheet materials, and has a very wide adaptability.

[0037] It should be noted that the high-speed material receiving system of the present invention also has an outer cover for protecting the internal structure and has a computer and a display. In addition, the electrical control module is not specifically shown in this embodiment. However, according to the relevant content of the invention, it can be understood that the conveying line module 1, the bin receiving cavity module 2, the conveying module 3 and the flipping module 4 need to be electrically connected thereto and complete the entire material receiving work under its control. In this embodiment, the electrical control module can be an industrial computer based on a programmable logic controller (PLC), and since it is a mature technology and does not affect the understanding of the present invention, it will not be specifically elaborated herein.

[0038] The following specifically shows the material clamping and receiving process of the high-speed material receiving system. The steps are as follows:

[0039] 1. The conveying line module 1 conveys the empty bin 17 to the material receiving station 12 of the bin.

[0040] 2. The clamping block 20, the second blanking plate 22, and the material discharging plate 23 in the material receiving cavity module 2 retract outward from the cavity plate 24, and the first blanking plate 21 extends into the cavity to receive the sheet 6 conveyed from the conveying module 3.

[0041] 3. When the number of sheet materials in the cavity of the material receiving cavity module 2 reaches a certain amount, the linkage cylinder 27 operates once, causing the clamping block 20 to extend into the cavity to clamp the upper sheet material. The first blanking plate 21 retracts outward from the cavity plate 24, and the second blanking plate 22 extends into the cavity, causing the sheet material between the first blanking plate 21 and the clamping block 20 to fall onto the second blanking plate 22. The anti - overturning block 25 extends, and the cylinder 27 operates once. The clamping block 20 retracts outward from the cavity plate 24, and the first blanking plate 21 extends into the cavity. The sheet material above the clamping block 20 falls onto the anti - overturning block 25, and the anti - overturning block retracts outward from the cavity plate 24, causing the sheet material on it to fall onto the first blanking plate 21. The material discharging plate 23 extends into the cavity, and the second blanking plate 22 retracts outward from the cavity plate 24, and the sheet material falls onto the material discharging plate 23 for stacking.

[0042] 4. The empty magazine 17 rises under the drive of the lifting mechanism 15 at the material receiving station 12 to dock with the cavity in the material receiving cavity module 2. When the sheet materials in the cavity reach a certain level, the material discharging plate 23 retracts outward from the cavity plate 24, causing the sheet material between it and the second blanking plate 22 above to fall into the empty magazine 17. The magazine 17 filled with sheet materials descends under the drive of the lifting mechanism 15 at the material receiving station 12 to separate from the cavity in the material receiving cavity module 2 and falls onto the conveying unit 11 of the conveying line module 1.

[0043] 5. The magazine 17 filled with sheet materials is sent by the conveying unit 11 to the flipping station 13. The flipping module 4 clamps the sheet materials in the magazine 17, flips them 180 degrees, and then puts them back into the magazine 17. This flipping process can be selected or discarded according to the process requirements.

[0044] 6. The operator takes away the full magazine from the other end of the conveying line module 1, or the other end of the conveying line module 1 is directly docked with the subsequent workstations to achieve less manpower.

[0045] The high - speed material receiving system of this embodiment can achieve efficient and rapid material receiving operations, is not limited by the distance between each sheet material, nor by the speed of the conveying line, has strong adaptability to speed and material distance, and the usability of this material receiving device is very extensive, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity, save manpower, and improve efficiency.

[0046] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the illustrative embodiments of the present invention, it must be understood that those skilled in the art can design various other improvements and embodiments that will fall within the spirit and scope of the principles of the present invention. Specifically, reasonable variations and improvements can be made in the arrangement of components and / or the layout of sub-combinations within the scope of the foregoing disclosure, the drawings, and the claims, without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
