Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a composite board production equipment, and more particularly to a composite board flipping and bonding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of composite panels, it is often necessary to flip one of the panels and laminate it onto another panel, which is called the flip-laminate process.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN111776751A discloses a sheet metal flipping and stacking device, which includes at least two parallel roller conveyors. A flipping feeding mechanism for reciprocating between the two adjacent roller conveyors is located between them. The device also includes a support frame spanning all the roller conveyors, with a stacking platform located on one side of each roller conveyor. A transfer mechanism for feeding sheets between the roller conveyors and the stacking platform is slidably mounted on the top of the support frame. While the flipping feeding mechanism in this sheet metal flipping and stacking device can be used in composite board production to flip one sheet metal and laminate it onto another, its location between the two roller conveyors makes it impossible to leave a manual auxiliary workstation between them. This makes it difficult to manually check whether the two sheets are completely and tightly bonded, and even more difficult to manually tighten any loose areas by tapping, resulting in a relatively high defect rate.

[0004] In view of this, this application has conducted an in-depth study on the structure of the composite board flipping and bonding device, which led to the present application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite board flipping and bonding device that facilitates manual inspection and assisted pressing to reduce the production defect rate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A composite board flipping and plywood assembly device includes a first roller conveyor and a second roller conveyor arranged side by side, with an aisle between the first roller conveyor and the second roller conveyor. Both the first roller conveyor and the second roller conveyor include a plurality of horizontally spaced conveying rollers. Below the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor and / or the second roller conveyor, a plurality of flipping manipulators are arranged sequentially and spaced along the conveying direction of the corresponding roller conveyor. The end of each flipping manipulator has a suction cup that can move up and down between two adjacent conveying rollers on the same roller conveyor.

[0008] As an improvement of the present invention, the flipping robot includes a base, a drive rod and a support rod respectively rotatably connected to the base, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the end of the support rod away from the base, an active rod rotatably connected to the end of the drive rod away from the base, a driven rod rotatably connected to the rod body of the drive rod, a connecting seat rotatably connected to the end of the driven rod away from the drive rod, a suction cup arm fixedly connected to the connecting seat, a suction cup mounted on the suction cup arm, and a flipping motor for driving the drive rod to rotate relative to the base. The end of the connecting rod away from the support rod is rotatably connected to the rod body of the drive rod, and the rotational connecting shaft between the connecting rod and the drive rod and the rotational connecting shaft between the driven rod and the drive rod are arranged coaxially. The end of the active rod away from the drive rod is rotatably connected to the connecting seat. The base, the drive rod, the support rod, and the connecting rod together constitute a parallelogram mechanism.

[0009] As an improvement of the present invention, the drive rod, the support rod, the connecting rod, the driving rod, the driven rod, the suction cup arm, and the suction cup are always located on a vertical plane parallel to the conveying roller.

[0010] As an improvement of the present invention, a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the drive rod and arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the corresponding roller conveyor. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the base. The drive shafts of two adjacent flipping manipulators are fixedly connected to each other, integrally connected, connected by a coupling, or connected by a magnetic powder clutch. The flipping motor is connected to the drive shaft of one of the flipping manipulators.

[0011] As an improvement of the present invention, the flipping robot also includes a buffer located next to the base, the buffer and the support rod being located on the same vertical plane, and the distance between the connection position between the support rod and the base and the buffer is less than the length of the support rod.

[0012] As an improvement of the present invention, the first roller conveyor and / or the second roller conveyor are provided with a centering mechanism.

[0013] As an improvement of the present invention, the first roller conveyor and / or the second roller conveyor are provided with a blocking mechanism.

[0014] By adopting the above solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By setting the flipping robot below the conveying surface of the roller conveyor, and each flipping robot having a suction cup that can move up and down between two adjacent conveying rollers of the same roller conveyor, the flipping and closing operations can be achieved by controlling the suction cup to extend from between the two adjacent conveying rollers. At the same time, since an aisle is formed between the first roller conveyor and the second roller conveyor, it is convenient for manual inspection or auxiliary pressing, which can effectively reduce the production defect rate.

[0016] 2. The flipping robot provided by this invention can achieve the flipping and feeding of the board material using only one flipping motor, and the equipment cost and energy consumption are relatively low. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a composite board flipping and plywood device, including a first roller conveyor 10 and a second roller conveyor 20 arranged side by side. The first roller conveyor 10 and the second roller conveyor 20 are also called roller conveyors. Both include multiple horizontally spaced conveyor rollers 11. The conveyor rollers 11 on the same roller conveyor together form the conveying surface of the roller conveyor. This type of roller conveyor is a conventional conveyor and can be purchased directly from the market. It will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Preferably, the first roller conveyor 10 and / or the second roller conveyor 20 are provided with a centering mechanism (not shown in the figure) and a blocking mechanism (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, each roller conveyor is provided with a centering mechanism and a blocking mechanism. The centering mechanism and the blocking mechanism are the mechanisms used on conventional conveyors and are not the focus of this embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0034] An aisle is formed between the first roller conveyor 10 and the second roller conveyor 20 to allow manual or inspection personnel to walk. Of course, when the manual or inspection personnel walk in the aisle, the flip-plate robot 30, which will be mentioned below, must be in its initial state.

[0035] Multiple flipping manipulators 30 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the corresponding roller conveyors below the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor 10 and / or the second roller conveyor 20. In this embodiment, multiple flipping manipulators 30 are arranged below the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor 10 as an example. Furthermore, it should be noted that the flipping manipulator 30 can also be used independently in other stations of the composite board production line, such as flipping and palletizing stations or flipping and cleaning stations. That is, this embodiment also provides a flipping manipulator 30.

[0036] The flip-top robot 30 includes a base 31, a drive rod 32 and a support rod 33 rotatably connected to the base 31, a connecting rod 34 rotatably connected to the end of the support rod 33 away from the base 31, an active rod 35 rotatably connected to the end of the drive rod 32 away from the base 31, a driven rod 36 rotatably connected to the body of the drive rod 32, a connecting seat 37 rotatably connected to the end of the driven rod 36 away from the drive rod 32, a suction cup arm 38 fixedly connected to the connecting seat 37, a suction cup 39 mounted on the suction cup arm 38, and a flip-top motor 40 for driving the drive rod 32 to rotate relative to the base 31. The end of connecting rod 34 furthest from support rod 33 is rotatably connected to the body of drive rod 32. The rotational connecting shaft between connecting rod 34 and drive rod 32 and the rotational connecting shaft between driven rod 36 and drive rod 32 are coaxially arranged, meaning connecting rod 34 and driven rod 36 are rotatably connected to the same position on drive rod 32. The end of driving rod 35 furthest from drive rod 32 is rotatably connected to connecting seat 37. Meanwhile, base 31, drive rod 32, support rod 33, and connecting rod 34 together form a parallelogram mechanism, while drive rod 32, driving rod 35, driven rod 36, and connecting seat 37 together form another parallelogram mechanism. In other words, the line connecting the rotational connection point between the base 31 and the drive rod 35 and the rotational connection point between the drive rod 32 and the connecting rod 34 (this line, as well as all the lines mentioned below, are not virtual lines and do not exist in the actual product) is always parallel to the line connecting the rotational connection point between the base 31 and the support rod 33 and the rotational connection point between the support rod 33 and the connecting rod 34, and the line connecting the base 31 and the drive rod 35 and the rotational connection point between the base 31 and the support rod 33 is always parallel to the line connecting the rotational connection point between the connecting rod 34 and the drive rod 35 and the connecting rod 34 and the support rod 35. The lines connecting the rotational connection points between the support rods 33, the rotational connection points between the drive rod 35 and the driving rod 32, and the rotational connection points between the drive rod 35 and the connecting seat 37 are always parallel to the lines connecting the rotational connection points between the driven rod 36 and the driving rod 35, and the rotational connection points between the driven rod 36 and the connecting seat 37. Similarly, the lines connecting the rotational connection points between the drive rod 32 and the drive rod, and the rotational connection points between the drive rod 32 and the driven rod 36 are always parallel to the lines connecting the rotational connection points between the connecting seat 37 and the drive rod 35, and the rotational connection points between the connecting seat 37 and the driven rod 36. Thus, the rotation of the drive rod 32 can drive the two parallelogram mechanisms to move, thereby realizing the flipping mechanism.

[0037] The suction cup arm 38 forms the end of the flipping robot and can move up and down between two adjacent conveyor rollers 11 of the same roller conveyor. The suction cup 39 can move up and down between two adjacent conveyor rollers 11 of the same roller conveyor under the drive of the suction cup arm 38. That is to say, the end of each flipping robot 30 has a suction cup that can move up and down between two adjacent conveyor rollers 11 of the same roller conveyor, so as to lift the plate on the roller conveyor from bottom to top and flip it to another roller conveyor for assembling.

[0038] In the same flip-top robot 30, the drive rod 32, support rod 33, connecting rod 34, active rod 35, driven rod 36, connecting seat 37, suction cup arm 38, and suction cup 39 are located on the same vertical plane, and this vertical plane is always parallel to the corresponding conveying roller 11 on the roller conveyor. This ensures that each link of the flip-top robot 30 can move up and down between two adjacent conveying rollers 11. When the drive rod 32 is vertically arranged, the two parallelogram mechanisms are located on both sides of the drive rod 32. When the drive rod 32 rotates from the vertical arrangement to the extreme position away from the suction cup arm 38, the flip-top robot 30 is in its initial state. At this time, the drive rod 32 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, while the suction cup arm 38 is horizontally arranged and completely below the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor 10, and the suction cup 39 is located above the suction cup arm 38.

[0039] Preferably, in order to ensure that the drive rod 32 can be accurately stopped in the initial state, the flipping robot 30 provided in this embodiment also includes a buffer 41 located next to the base 31. The buffer 41 and the support rod 33 are located on the same vertical plane, and the distance between the connection position between the support rod 33 and the base 31 and the buffer 41 is less than the length of the support rod 33. In this way, when the drive rod 32 rotates from the vertical arrangement to the direction away from the suction cup arm 38 to the initial state, the rod body of the support rod 33 will touch the buffer 41, so that the drive rod 32 can no longer rotate, thereby ensuring that the drive rod 32 can be accurately stopped in the initial state. Of course, if necessary, a contact sensor can also be set on the buffer to control the flipping motor 40 to stop working in time.

[0040] Preferably, the suction cup arm 38 is made of dovetail channel steel, which facilitates the installation of the suction cup 39 and also makes it easier to conceal the exhaust pipe connected to the suction cup 39, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Each suction cup arm 38 is equipped with multiple suction cups 39, meaning there are multiple suction cups 39 arranged sequentially along the length of the corresponding suction cup arm 38. This ensures a more secure adhesion of the sheet material. It should be noted that suction cups 39 can also be installed on both sides of the suction cup arm 38. This allows the sheet material to be both suctioned from the first roller conveyor 10 and flipped and conveyed to the second roller conveyor 20 for lamination, or vice versa. This provides the composite board flipping and lamination device with multiple usage modes, making it suitable for the production of different types of composite boards.

[0041] Preferably, the drive rod 32, support rod 33, driven rod 36 and / or active rod 35 have multiple through holes arranged sequentially along the length of the corresponding rod body. This reduces the weight of the corresponding rod and helps to improve the torsional resistance of the corresponding rod.

[0042] Each flip-plate manipulator 30 can be independently installed below the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor 10. Preferably, in this embodiment, the frame of the first roller conveyor 10 is fixedly connected to two parallel first support beams 50 and a second support beam 60 parallel to the first support beams 50 at a position below its conveying surface. The base 31 of each flip-plate manipulator 30 is simultaneously fixedly connected to the two first support beams 50, and the buffer 41 of each flip-plate manipulator 30 is fixedly connected to the second support beam 60. This facilitates pre-assembly at the equipment manufacturing plant and improves the assembly efficiency of the equipment on the production site.

[0043] Furthermore, to ensure that all flip-top robotic arms 30 operate synchronously, preferably, each flip-top robotic arm 30 has a drive shaft 42 fixedly connected to its drive rod 32, which is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the corresponding roller conveyor. This drive shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the corresponding base 31, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the drive rod 32 and the corresponding base 31. The drive shafts 42 of two adjacent flip-top robotic arms 30 are fixedly connected to each other, integrally connected, connected through a coupling, or connected through a magnetic powder clutch 43. A flip-top motor 40 is connected to the drive shaft 42 of one flip-top robotic arm 30, meaning that multiple flip-top robotic arms 30 share one flip-top motor 40, resulting in relatively good synchronization. In this embodiment, the drive shafts 42 of two adjacent flip-up robotic arms 30 are integrally connected. One of the drive shafts 42 is connected to the flip-up motor 40 through a reducer 44. The drive shafts 42 of the other flip-up robotic arms 30 are connected to the drive shafts 42 of the adjacent flip-up robotic arms 30 through magnetic powder clutches 43. The magnetic powder clutches 43 are clutches that can be purchased directly from the market. When energized, they can realize the transmission connection between the two drive shafts 42. When de-energized, they will cut off the transmission connection between the two drive shafts 42. In this way, the length of the board to be flipped can be determined to determine which magnetic powder clutches 43 need to be energized, and then the number of flip-up robotic arms 30 participating in the work can be selected according to the actual needs.

[0044] In use, the panel of the composite board is conveyed by the first roller conveyor 10 to the position corresponding to each flipping robot 30, and the bottom plate is conveyed by the second roller conveyor 20 to the position corresponding to each flipping robot 30. Then, each flipping robot 30 lifts the panel from top to bottom, flips it 180° and composites it on the bottom plate. During this process, the flipping motor 40 drives the drive rod 32 to rotate away from the buffer 41 to realize the flipping and merging of the board.

[0045] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and applications to the present invention based on the prior art, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
