Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The description of at least one exemplary embodiment below is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms used here are only for describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "include" and / or "comprise" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0034] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for the sake of convenience of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationship. Technologies, methods and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the said technologies, methods and devices should be regarded as part of the authorized specification. In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom", etc. are generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0036] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above...", "over...", "on the upper surface of...", "above" and the like can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature shown in the drawings and other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings.

An L-shaped first positioning plate 3 is provided at the end of the first conveyor belt 2. One side of the first positioning plate 3 is fixed to one side of the first conveyor belt 2, and the other side is horizontally placed above the first conveyor belt 2. Then the tile 29 is input onto the first conveyor belt 2, and the top of the tile 29 will contact one side of the first positioning plate 3, completing the positioning of the tile 29 in the up and down direction.

[0045] In one embodiment, the tile pushing device includes a first cylinder 4, a first guide rail 5, a first push plate 6 and a second rack 7. The second rack 7 is located on one side of the first conveyor belt 2. The first guide rail 5 is installed on the second rack 7.

Among them, the driving ends of the two first clamping cylinders 324 are in opposite directions, so that the two first jaws 325 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the first substrate 321. When it is necessary to clamp the tiles 29, the two first clamping cylinders 324 drive the two first jaws 325 to move relatively to clamp the tiles 29; the conveying device 33 includes a third frame 331 and a second conveyor belt 332. The second conveyor belt 332 is installed on the third frame 331. An L-shaped second positioning plate 333 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 332. One side of the second positioning plate 333 is fixed to one side of the second conveyor belt 332, and the other side is horizontally placed on the second conveyor belt 332. After the tiles 29 are packed, the handling robot 32 grabs the tiles 29 and rotates 90° around the B axis, and places them on the second conveyor belt 332, and is positioned in the up and down direction through the L-shaped second positioning plate 333; the tile grabbing and positioning device 34 is located at the end of the second conveyor belt 332 and is perpendicular to the second conveyor belt 332.

[0049] In one embodiment, the palletizing manipulator 35 includes a second substrate 352, a vacuum suction cup 353, and a second clamping cylinder 354. Four inclined adjustment tracks 351 (the adjustment tracks 351 form an eight-character shape in pairs) are provided on the second substrate 352. The vacuum suction cup 353 is installed through the adjustment track 351. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup 353 is installed on the mounting rod, and the mounting rod passes through the adjustment track 351 and is fastened by a nut at the upper part. A spring is sleeved on the mounting rod to play a buffering role when adsorbing the ceramic tile. The second clamping cylinder 354 is horizontally installed on the second substrate 352 and connected to the second clamping jaw 355. The driving ends of the two second clamping cylinders 354 are in opposite directions, so that the two second clamping jaws 355 are relatively arranged on both sides of the second substrate 352. When it is necessary to clamp the ceramic tile 29, the two second clamping cylinders 354 drive the two second clamping jaws 355 to move relatively and insert into the packing belt of the ceramic tile 29 to prevent the ceramic tile 29 from falling off.

[0050] The working principle is as follows:

[0051] (1) The process of blanking and aligning;

[0052] After the first ceramic tile 29 is processed, the production line is connected to the packaging line and input to the first conveyor belt 2 of the conveyor belt of the blanking unit A. The top of the ceramic tile 29 will contact one side of the first positioning plate 3 to complete the positioning in the up and down direction. Subsequently, the first cylinder 4 pushes the first push plate 6 to move forward on the first guide rail 5 and contact the right side of the ceramic tile 29, and push it to the other side of the first positioning plate 3 to complete the positioning in the left and right directions. After the positioning is completed, the first push plate 6 pushes the ceramic tile 29 to the aligning workbench 8. After receiving each ceramic tile 29, the servo motor 9 will drive the aligning workbench 8 to descend by the thickness of one ceramic tile 29.

[0053] (2) The process of pasting edge paper:

[0054] Handling process: After the ceramic tile 29 is positioned and aligned, the handling manipulator 32 is moved to the upper part of the aligned ceramic tile by the XZ-axis moving component 36, and then the ceramic tile 29 is sent to the automatic sticker unit C by the top clamping cylinder 323. The handling manipulator 32 moves through the X-axis linear guide rail, hovers directly above the aligned ceramic tile 29, and moves downward through the Z-axis linear guide rail. The first clamping jaw 325 comes to the bottom of the ceramic tile 29, and the first clamping cylinder 324 drives the first clamping jaw 325 to move towards each other in the horizontal direction to fix the ceramic tile 29 from the bottom. At the same time, the four top clamping cylinders 323 press the ceramic tile 29 from above the ceramic tile 29 to ensure that the ceramic tile 29 will not fall during the handling process. The first clamping jaw 325 rotates around the B axis to handle the ceramic tile 29 to the automatic sticker unit C.

[0055] The process of pushing the paper is as follows: The edge wrapping paper 30 is successively stuffed into the material box 22, and the material box 22 is successively placed on the material box pushing support 21. When applying the edge wrapping paper to the ceramic tile 29, the material box pushing air cylinder 23 is connected to the air source and works. At this time, the material box pushing air cylinder 23 pushes the material box 22 into the working position through the material box pushing plate 24. After the first material box 22 enters the working position, the edge wrapping paper upper pushing air cylinder 27 pushes the edge wrapping paper upper pushing rod 26, and then drives the movable plate 25 to move the edge wrapping paper 30 upward, so that the first edge wrapping paper 30 in the material box 22 enters the working position. Then, the edge wrapping paper pushing air cylinder 19 pushes the paper pushing plate 20 to move, pushes out the first edge wrapping paper 30, moves it to the side of the edge wrapping paper unit C-1, and enters the edge wrapping paper supporting mechanism 12 of the edge wrapping paper unit C-1 through the transition plate 17.

[0056] The process of applying the edge wrapping paper is as follows: The edge wrapping paper 30 enters the edge wrapping paper supporting mechanism 12 through the paper pushing unit B, and both ends of the edge wrapping paper 30 are located in the guiding groove 1401. The ceramic tile 29 is placed on the edge wrapping paper 30. Under the action of gravity, the ceramic tile 29 will move downward against the thrust of the supporting plate upper pushing air cylinder 1204. When the supporting plate 1201 contacts the stop block 1202, it will stop moving. At this time, under the blocking action of the push-pull plate 1402, the edge wrapping paper 30 realizes the bending of the lower side of the ceramic tile 29. Then, the four edge wrapping paper bending air cylinders 11 work, drive the edge wrapping paper bending support 15 to move, complete the bending action of the upper side edge of the ceramic tile 29, and press the edge wrapping paper 30 firmly to prepare for subsequent packing.

[0057] (3) Packing process:

[0058] After the ceramic tile 29 is bilaterally pasted with the edge wrapping paper, the handling manipulator 32 grabs the ceramic tile 29 and rotates it 90° around the B axis, places it on the second conveyor belt 332, transports it to the second positioning plate 333 at the end of the second conveyor belt 332, and performs vertical positioning through the L-shaped second positioning plate 333. The second cylinder 341 drives the second push plate 343 to perform horizontal positioning on the ceramic tile 29. After the positioning is completed, the palletizing manipulator 35 works, the vacuum suction cup 353 adsorbs on the ceramic tile 29, and the two second clamping air cylinders 354 drive the two second clamping jaws 355 to move relatively, insert into the packing belt of the ceramic tile 29, and transfer the ceramic tile 29 into the packing machine 31 for packing through the conveying of the XYZ axis moving assembly 37.

[0059] (4) Palletizing process:

[0060] After the packing is completed, the palletizing manipulator 35 works, and through the movement of the XYZ axis moving assembly 37, the ceramic tile 29 is transferred to an open space for palletizing.
