The corners of the main bracket 100 are mechanically fixedly connected by angle joints 202 to enhance the rigidity and strength of the main bracket 100; the code scanner 303 can move on the mobile code scanning mechanism 300, and the mobile code scanning mechanism 300 is connected to the main bracket 100. The bracket 100 is mechanically connected through the mounting plate 301; the grabbing mechanism 101 and the clamping mechanism 104 are mechanically connected to the main bracket 100 through the connecting seat 111, and the grabbing mechanism 101 and the clamping mechanism 104 are electrically connected to the control device to realize their automatic control, wherein the control device is generally a control cabinet, control box and other equipment in the production line; a suction cup 102 is provided on the grabbing mechanism 101, and a gripper 103 is provided on the clamping mechanism 104. At least one grabbing mechanism 101 and at least one clamping mechanism 104 are provided on each side of the main bracket 100. The suction cup 102 is used to pick up the sheet material, and the gripper 103 can release and clamp the sheet material. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The figure shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of a sheet material grabbing device (with sheet material) provided by an embodiment of the present invention with a movable code scanning mechanism. Figure 4 The plate material below the main support 100 is a square plate material.

[0025] Preferably, each frame of the main support 100 is provided with at least two grasping mechanisms 101 and at least two clamping mechanisms 104 to improve the reliability of grasping the sheet material, make the sheet material evenly stressed, and reduce deformation of the sheet material.

[0026] During the process of grabbing the sheet material, the suction cup 102 is extended downward and the gripper 103 is released to prevent position obstruction. After the suction cup 102 contacts the sheet material, the sheet material is lifted to the specified position by the suction force of the suction cup 102, and the gripper 103 clamps the sheet material, so that the sheet material is not easy to fall, thereby preventing safety accidents. The present invention is particularly suitable for situations where multiple layers of sheet materials are stacked together.

[0027] It is worth noting that the shape of the main bracket 100 can be other shapes besides square, such as: circle, triangle, prism, etc., and the positions of the grasping mechanism 101 and the clamping mechanism 104 can be rearranged accordingly, so as to adapt to sheet materials of various shapes and expand the use scenarios of the sheet material grasping device with a mobile scanning mechanism.

[0028] In a sheet material grabbing device with a mobile code scanning mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile code scanning mechanism 300 further includes: a cylinder 302, a Z-shaped bracket 304, a slide 305, a cylinder mounting bracket 306, and a stopper 307; both ends of the cylinder 302 are mechanically fixedly connected to the mounting plate 301 through two cylinder mounting brackets 306; a stopper 307 is provided at each end of the cylinder 302 to limit the slide 305 and prevent it from moving out of the stroke; the Z-shaped bracket A barcode scanner 303 is mounted on the upper end of bracket 304, and the lower end of the Z-shaped bracket 304 is mechanically fixedly connected to a slide 305. The slide 305 is mechanically connected to the cylinder 302, allowing it to move axially along the cylinder 302. This, in turn, drives the barcode scanner 303 on the Z-shaped bracket 304 to move. Adjusting the position of the barcode scanner 303 allows the barcode scanner 303 to scan and record the sheet metal. The barcode scanner 303 simultaneously sends the scanned results to an information collection device, completing the record of the transported sheet metal. The upper end of the Z-shaped bracket 304 extends outward to prevent other components from obstructing the barcode scanner 303's scanning window.

[0029] The sheet material grabbing device with a mobile code scanning mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a connecting bracket 201 and a connecting flange 203; the connecting bracket 201 is mechanically connected to the main bracket 100 via an angle joint 202; and the connecting bracket 201 and the main bracket 100 are fixedly connected to each other, facilitating connection with a mobile handling device such as a handling robot. The connecting flange 203 is mechanically fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 201, and the mobile handling device is connected via the connecting flange 203 to enable movement of the sheet material grabbing device with a mobile code scanning mechanism on the production line. Specifically, the connecting flange 203 can be used to achieve a mechanical fixed connection with a handling device such as a handling robot, so that the handling robot can drive the sheet material grabbing device with a mobile code scanning mechanism to move to a designated position on the production line.

[0030] A sheet material grasping device with a mobile code scanning mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention also includes: a sensor mounting frame 109 and a sensor 110; the sensor 110 is mechanically connected to the sensor mounting frame 109, and the sensor 110 is electrically connected to the signal acquisition device to realize the acquisition and processing of its electrical signal, which is used to judge the state of the sheet material; specifically, the sensor 110 measures the distance between it and the sheet material to judge the presence or absence of the sheet material or the occurrence of severe deformation, thereby preventing the sheet material grasping device with a mobile code scanning mechanism from accidentally grasping the sheet material; the sensor mounting frame 109 is mechanically connected to the main bracket 100.

[0031] Preferably, four sensor mounting brackets 109 and four sensors 110 are provided, and each of the sensor mounting brackets 109 and the sensors 110 is disposed near a corner of the main support 100. By collecting signals from multiple sensors 110, the sheet metal is prevented from falling off due to excessive deformation during the grasping process, thereby improving measurement accuracy and sheet metal grasping reliability.

[0032] In a sheet material grasping device with a mobile code scanning mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a suction cup 102 is detachably connected to the grasping mechanism 101 and can move up and down; the suction cup 102 is one of a needle-punched suction cup, an electromagnetic suction cup, and a vacuum suction cup. The suction cup 102 moves up and down to realize the grasping operation of the sheet material. It is worth noting that the suction cup 102 can be replaced according to the different sheet materials to realize the grasping of sheet materials of various materials; for example: for fabric materials, a needle-punched suction cup can be used for grasping; for iron sheets, an electromagnetic suction cup can be used for grasping; and for stainless steel, aluminum sheets, non-metallic sheets, etc., a vacuum suction cup can be used for grasping.

[0034] In a sheet material grabbing device with a mobile code scanning mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a row of holes 112 is evenly distributed on the main support 100; these holes 112 are used to adjust and secure the position of the grabbing mechanism 101, clamping mechanism 104, sensor 110, and mobile code scanning mechanism 300. Because sheet materials vary in size and shape, the position and number of the codes on the sheets can be adjusted on the main support 100 to accommodate a variety of sheet materials. The arrangement of the holes 112 facilitates the installation of the grabbing mechanism 101, clamping mechanism 104, sensor 110, and mobile code scanning mechanism 300.
