Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a sorting device and a plate sorting method capable of improving the utilization rate of plates, and belongs to the technical field of plate processing. Background Art

[0002] The board processing production line is used for processing wooden boards. The processing of wooden boards includes board cutting, labeling, milling, edge banding and other processes. Board cutting, labeling and milling are completed in the board processing module. After the board processing module processes the board, the board is transported to the edge banding process to continue processing the board and finally complete the processing of the board. In the existing board processing production line, when the board processing module cuts the board to obtain the standard board, the excess board (i.e., special-shaped board) that is cut off is directly broken into wood chips. The special-shaped boards produced by the board processing are not useless, and can be used in some places where smaller boards are needed, such as decorative strips of door panels. At present, there are also some board processing, which, for the sake of aesthetics, deliberately cuts the boards into small sizes and then splices them to create the desired board patterns. The special-shaped boards produced by the board processing are used to splice the above-mentioned boards, and the special-shaped boards can also be reused. However, in the existing board processing production line, due to the lack of corresponding special-shaped board sorting modules, the special-shaped boards produced by the board processing cannot be collected and can only be broken when processing the boards, so that the utilization rate of the boards is difficult to be effectively improved. Summary of the invention

[0003] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a sorting device that can improve the utilization rate of plates, so as to solve the technical defect that in the prior art plate processing, the generated special-shaped plates are directly broken into pieces due to the lack of a module for placing special-shaped plates, resulting in low plate utilization rate.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a sorting system that can improve the utilization rate of plates, including a plate unloading module, a robot sorting device, a special-shaped plate sorting module and a standard plate sorting module; the plate unloading module is located at one end of the plate output of the plate processing module when in use, and is used to receive the plates processed by the plate processing module; the robot sorting device is used to place the special-shaped plates and standard plates on the plate unloading module on the special-shaped plate sorting module and the standard plate sorting module respectively; the standard plate sorting module is used to transport the standard plates to the specified position; the special-shaped plate sorting module is used to collect special-shaped plates. The present invention provides a special-shaped panel sorting module and a robot sorting device. After the wooden board is processed, the robot sorting device sucks and places it on the special-shaped panel sorting module, so that the special-shaped panels are collected and used in the processing of other procedures. Compared with the method of directly crushing the special-shaped panels in the prior art, the present invention improves the utilization rate of the panel. The present invention also avoids the wood dust generated by crushing the wood, improves the environment for panel processing, and reduces the energy required for crushing the special-shaped panels, saving the energy for panel processing, and generally improving the economy of panel processing.

[0005] As a further improvement of the present invention, the number of the plate unloading modules and the special-shaped plate sorting modules are both two, and the number of the standard plate sorting modules is more than one. The two plate unloading modules are arranged in parallel, and are respectively used to receive the plates processed by the two plate processing modules when in use. The robot sorting device is located between the two plate unloading modules, and the two special-shaped plate sorting modules are respectively located on both sides of the standard plate sorting module. Since the processing of the plate on the plate processing module takes time, the present invention sets two plate unloading modules. The present invention can process two plates at the same time, and the same robot sorting device absorbs the standard plates and special-shaped plates on the two plate unloading modules and places them on the standard plate sorting module and the special-shaped plate sorting module, further improving the efficiency of plate processing.

[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, a lifting platform is provided at the specification plate sorting module. When the lifting platform is raised, the robot sorting device places the specification plate on the unloading module on the lifting platform. The present invention provides a lifting platform. When a failure occurs in the subsequent processing of the specification plate, the specification plate is placed on the lifting platform. Only the subsequent failure site needs to be stopped for maintenance, and the previous plate processing process does not need to be stopped, which further improves the processing efficiency of the plate.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, there are two standard plate sorting modules, the two standard plate sorting modules are arranged in parallel, and each standard plate sorting module is provided with a lifting platform at one end close to the robot sorting device. In the present invention, the two standard plate sorting modules are respectively used to convey the standard plates on the two plate unloading modules or to place the standard plates on the two plate unloading modules on any one of the standard plate sorting modules for forward conveyance. When one of the standard plate sorting modules fails, it does not affect the conveyance of the standard plates by the other standard plate sorting module.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, a bracket is provided on the special-shaped panel sorting module, and the bracket includes a plurality of bracket units, and the two ends of the bracket units are respectively provided on both sides of the special-shaped panel sorting module, and are used to support special-shaped panels with larger volumes. The present invention provides a bracket on the special-shaped panel sorting module, and special-shaped panels are placed on the special-shaped panel sorting module. The remaining space cannot accommodate a larger special-shaped panel, and only the larger special-shaped panels can be stacked upward. When the larger special-shaped panel is partially suspended in the air, the larger special-shaped panel is placed on the bracket first, and when the robot sorting device absorbs other smaller special-shaped panels and flattens the special-shaped panel sorting module, the aforementioned larger special-shaped panel is stacked upward on the special-shaped panel on the special-shaped panel sorting module, so as to improve the stability of the placement of the special-shaped panels.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specification plate sorting module includes a specification plate sorting frame, a plurality of specification plate conveying rollers and a specification plate driving device, the two ends of the specification plate conveying rollers are rotatably arranged on the specification plate sorting frame, the specification plate driving device is used to drive the specification plate conveying rollers to rotate, the distance between the center lines of two adjacent specification plate conveying rollers is d, the length of the specification plate in the length direction of the specification plate sorting frame is L, wherein L is greater than or equal to 2d, and L and d are both real numbers greater than zero. In the process of conveying the specification plates on the specification plate sorting module of the present invention, at least two specification plate conveying rollers support the specification plates, so as to avoid the problem that during the conveying process of the specification plates, there is only one specification plate conveying roller supporting the specification plates, causing one end of the specification plates to tilt upward or downward, resulting in the specification plates being blocked by the specification plate conveying rollers.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, a ground rail is provided between the two plate material unloading modules, the ground rail is parallel to the plate material unloading modules, and the robot sorting device is provided on the ground rail and can move on the ground rail along the length direction of the ground rail. The present invention provides a ground rail, and the robot sorting device moves on the ground rail, thereby increasing the range of the robot sorting device to absorb and place standard plates and special-shaped plates.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a plate sorting method to solve the technical defect of low plate utilization rate in the prior art of plate sorting due to the special-shaped plates having nowhere to be placed and being broken.

[0012] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a plate sorting method, using a sorting system that can improve the utilization rate of plates, the plate processing module processes the plates, and while the plates being processed are being transported on the plate processing module, the processed plates are pushed to the plate unloading module, and the robot sorting device places the standard plates for subsequent processing on the plate unloading module on the standard plate sorting module, which are transported to the next processing step by the standard plate sorting device, and the robot sorting device places the special-shaped plates on the plate unloading module on the special-shaped plate sorting module, and the special-shaped plates are collected and reserved for other uses. The present invention places the special-shaped plates generated by plate processing on the special-shaped plate sorting module using a robot sorting device, instead of breaking the special-shaped plates during plate processing as in the prior art. The special-shaped plates collected on the special-shaped plate sorting module in the present invention can be used in other locations, thereby improving the utilization rate of the plates.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, when a subsequent processing procedure of the plate fails, the lifting platform at the specification plate sorting module rises to a level higher than the specification plate sorting module, and the robot sorting device places the specification plate on the lifting platform. After the subsequent processing procedure fails, the specification plates on the lifting platform are placed one by one on the specification plate sorting module for transportation. After all the specification plates on the lifting platform are placed on the specification plate sorting module, the lifting platform is lowered to a level lower than the specification plate sorting module. When a subsequent processing procedure of the specification plate fails, the present invention does not affect the processing of the previous plate, and the previous plate processing module can continue to process the plate to produce specification plates and special-shaped plates, thereby avoiding a significant reduction in plate processing efficiency caused by a comprehensive shutdown of the plate processing.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, when the special-shaped plate sucked by the robot sorting device is large, the large special-shaped plate is first placed on the bracket, and after the robot sorting device sucks the small special-shaped plate and stacks it on the special-shaped plate sorting module, the larger special-shaped plate is placed on the stacked special-shaped plate sorting module. The present invention temporarily places the larger special-shaped plate on the bracket, so that the special-shaped plate sorting module is stacked by the smaller special-shaped plate, and then the larger special-shaped plate is stacked upward on the special-shaped plate on the special-shaped plate module, thereby avoiding the problem that the special-shaped plate is poorly suspended due to the large plate being partially suspended, especially at the edge, and is prone to tipping over and causing danger during subsequent transfer, thereby improving the safety of stacking and transferring of special-shaped plates.

[0015] To sum up, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is provided with a special-shaped panel sorting module specifically for placing the special-shaped panels remaining after the panels are processed into standard panels. After the special-shaped panels are collected, they are used in other parts that only need smaller panels. Compared with the prior art method of directly crushing the special-shaped panels during the panel processing process, the present invention greatly improves the utilization rate of the panels, avoids wood dust and energy waste caused by crushing the special-shaped panels, and improves the economy of panel processing.

[0019] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] The technical solution of this embodiment is a sorting system that can improve the utilization rate of plates. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sorting system that can improve the utilization rate of plates includes a plate unloading module 1, a robot sorting device 2, a special-shaped plate sorting module 3 and a standard plate sorting module 4; the plate unloading module 1 is located at one end of the plate output of the plate processing module 5 when in use, and is used to receive the plate processed by the plate processing module 5. The plate processing module 5 in this embodiment is a prior art, which is used for cutting, labeling, milling and other processing of the plate, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The robot sorting device 2 adopts a manipulator, and a plurality of suction cups are arranged on the manipulator. The suction cups on the manipulator suck the plates, and are used to place the special-shaped plates and standard plates on the plate unloading module 1 on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 and the standard plate sorting module 4 respectively. The standard plate sorting module 4 is used to transport the standard plates to the specified position, and the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 is used to collect special-shaped plates. The plate unloading module 1 in this embodiment includes a plate unloading frame and a plate unloading support plate. The plate unloading support plate is in a horizontal state and is arranged on the plate unloading frame and supported by the plate unloading frame. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the plate unloading support plate and the surface of the plate processing module 5 used to support the plate are located on the same horizontal plane. When the plate processing module 5 processes the plate, the plate is conveyed forward on the plate processing module 5, and the rear plate pushes the front plate that has been processed forward and pushes the front plate onto the plate unloading support plate of the plate unloading module 1. The plate processing module 5 does not convey the plate forward during the processing. At this time, the standard plates and special-shaped plates on the plate unloading module 1 are relatively still and are no longer pushed forward. In this embodiment, a CCD detection module 12 is arranged on the plate material discharging module 1. The CCD detection module 12 is located above the plate material discharging module 1, and the two ends of the CCD detection module 12 are arranged on both sides of the plate material discharging module 1 through support columns. When the standard plate and the special-shaped plate obtained after processing by the plate processing module 5 move on the plate material discharging module 1, they pass under the CCD detection module 12, and the CCD detection module 12 scans the information and evaluates the quality of the plate. The robot sorting device 2 sorts the standard plate and the special-shaped plate according to the above detection results. In this embodiment, a scanner is installed on the CCD detection module 12. , by scanning the label or QR code attached to the plate by the plate processing module 5, the plate information is read and the plate quality is evaluated. The CCD detection module 12 transmits the scanned data to the robot sorting device 2, so that the robot sorting device 2 can accurately locate and quality screen the standard plates and special-shaped plates on the plate unloading module 1, so as to place the standard plates and special-shaped plates on the standard plate sorting module 4 and the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 respectively. In this embodiment, the CCD detection module 12 and the implementation method of transmitting the scanned data to the robot sorting device 2 are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0022] In this embodiment, the number of plate unloading modules 1 and special-shaped plate sorting modules 3 are preferably set to two, and the number of standard plate sorting modules 4 is more than one. When the number of standard plate sorting modules 4 exceeds one, the standard plate sorting modules 4 are arranged in parallel, and the two plate unloading modules 1 are arranged in parallel. In the use state, the two plate unloading modules 1 are respectively used to receive the plates processed by the two plate processing modules 5. The robot sorting device 2 is located between the two plate unloading modules 1, and the two special-shaped plate sorting modules 3 are respectively located on both sides of the standard plate sorting module 4. When in use, the robot sorting device 2 absorbs the standard panels from the two panel unloading modules 1 and places them on the standard panel sorting module 4, which transports them to the subsequent panel edge banding processing process. The robot sorting device 2 absorbs the special-shaped panels on the panel unloading module 1 and places them on the special-shaped panel sorting module 3 to realize the collection of special-shaped panels for other uses, reduce the waste of panels, and improve the utilization rate of panels. In this embodiment, the panel processing module 5, the panel unloading module 1 and the special-shaped panel sorting module 3 on the same side of the robot sorting device 2 are located on the same straight line.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] This embodiment is a further improvement made on the basis of Embodiment 1. Compared with Embodiment 1, a lifting platform 6 is provided at the specification plate sorting module 4 in this embodiment. When the lifting platform 6 is raised, the robot sorting device 2 places the specification plate on the unloading module on the lifting platform 6. The lifting platform 6 in the present embodiment includes two lifting units, and the two lifting units are respectively located on both sides of the specification plate sorting module 4. The lifting unit in the present embodiment includes a lifting frame, a lifting drive device and a plurality of support rollers 16. The lifting frame includes an upper bracket unit 7, a lower bracket unit 10 and two connecting members for connecting the upper bracket unit 7 and the lower bracket unit 10. The two ends of the support roller 16 in the present embodiment are rotatably arranged on the upper bracket unit 7. The connecting member includes two first connecting rods 11 and second connecting rods 13 with two middle parts hinged in an X shape. One end of the first connecting rod 11 is hinged to one end of the lower bracket unit 10, and the other end of the first connecting rod 11 is hinged to the upper bracket unit 7. The top and bottom ends of the second connecting rod 13 are rotatably arranged with an upper roller (not shown in the figure) and a lower roller 15, respectively. The upper roller and the lower roller 15 are respectively abutted against the upper bracket unit 7 and the lower bracket unit 10. The lifting drive device in the present embodiment preferably adopts a lifting gas cylinder in which two piston rods are synchronously extended and contracted. The cylinder 14 of the lifting cylinder 14 is rotatably installed on the lower bracket unit 10, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 14 is hinged to the upper parts of the two second connecting rods 13 respectively. The extension or contraction of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 14 drives the second connecting rod 13 to rotate relative to the first connecting rod 11, and drives the first connecting rod 11 to rotate relative to the upper bracket unit 7 and the lower bracket unit 10, so that the upper bracket unit 7 moves vertically. While the second connecting rod 13 rotates, the upper roller and the lower roller 15 roll relative to the upper bracket unit 7 and the lower bracket unit 10 respectively. In this embodiment, when a failure occurs in the subsequent edge sealing process, the two lifting units rise upward, and the robot sorting device 2 absorbs the specification plate and places it on the lifting platform 6. At this time, the specification plate sorting module 4 stops running, and the subsequent process stops, while the previous process of processing the plate can continue. After the failure of the subsequent edge sealing process is eliminated, the specification plates on the lifting platform 6 are placed one by one on the specification plate sorting module 4 and transported to the edge sealing process.

[0025] In this embodiment, the number of the standard plate sorting modules 4 is preferably two, and the two standard plate sorting modules 4 are arranged in parallel. The number of the lifting platforms 6 is also two, and the two lifting platforms 6 are respectively located on both sides of the standard plate sorting module 4, and the two standard plate sorting modules 4 are respectively located in front of the two special-shaped plate sorting modules 3. The structure of the rest of the present embodiment is the same as that of the embodiment 1, and the details can be referred to the embodiment 1, and the present embodiment will not be repeated.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] This embodiment is a further improvement made on the basis of the embodiment 2. Compared with the embodiment 2, this embodiment is provided with a bracket (not shown in the figure) on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3. The length of the bracket in this embodiment is less than the length of the special-shaped plate sorting module 3. The bracket includes two bracket units. The bottom ends of the two bracket units are respectively arranged on both sides of the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 to support the special-shaped plates with larger volume. When this embodiment is in use, when the remaining space of the special-shaped plates stacked on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 is insufficient to place another large special-shaped plate, and the larger special-shaped plate needs to be stacked upward, the larger special-shaped plate is first placed on the bracket and supported by the bracket units on both sides of the special-shaped plate sorting module 3. After the smaller special-shaped plates are stacked flat on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3, the larger special-shaped plates are placed on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3 to avoid the large special-shaped plates from being suspended at the bottom and having poor stability. The structure of the rest of the parts in this embodiment is the same as that in the embodiment 2. For details, please refer to the embodiment 2, and this embodiment will not be repeated.

In this embodiment, d is preferably set to be less than half of L. That is, L>2d. In this embodiment, each standard plate is supported by at least two standard plate conveying rollers 9. In the conveying process of the standard plate, the standard plate at a certain position will not tilt upward or downward due to only one standard plate conveying roller 9 supporting it, which will affect the conveying of the standard plate. One end of the standard plate conveying roller 9 in this embodiment is connected by a chain. The standard plate driving device in this embodiment preferably uses a standard plate driving motor installed on the standard plate sorting frame 8, and the other end is connected to the output shaft of the standard plate driving motor by a chain, so that one standard plate driving motor is used to drive all the standard plate conveying rollers 9 to rotate. The structure of the rest of the embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 3. For details, please refer to embodiment 3, and this embodiment will not be repeated.

The plate processing module 5 processes the plates. While the plates being processed are being transported on the plate processing module 5, the processed plates are pushed onto the plate unloading module 1. The robot sorting device 2 places the standard plates for subsequent processing on the plate unloading module 1 on the standard plate sorting module 4, which are transported to the next processing step by the standard plate sorting device. The robot sorting device 2 places the special-shaped plates on the plate unloading module 1 on the special-shaped plate sorting module 3. The special-shaped plates are collected and reserved for other uses.
