[0030] As Figures 1-6 shown, an embodiment of this application provides a sheet integrating device 100, which can be used for precise positioning before sheet cutting.

[0031] As Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, the sheet integrating device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a frame 1, a conveying device 2 installed on the frame 1 and used for conveying the sheet A, a starting positioning device 3 installed on the frame 1 for positioning the sheet A before the sheet A is conveyed, and a conveying positioning device 4 installed on the frame 1 and used for positioning the sheet A during the conveying process of the sheet A after the starting positioning of the sheet A is released.

[0032] For the sheet integrating device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, by setting the starting positioning device 3, the sheet can be positioned once, and by setting the conveying positioning device 4, the positioning effect can still be maintained during the sheet transportation process, so as to maintain a high position accuracy of the sheet before entering the cutting process, thereby ensuring the high accuracy of cutting.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the frame 1 includes a platform frame 10 and a lifting frame 11. The conveying device 2 is installed on the platform frame, and part of the starting positioning device 3 and the conveying positioning device 4 are supported on the platform frame 10, and the part to be lifted is installed on the lifting frame 11.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the conveying positioning device 4 includes a pressing wheel mechanism arranged on the conveying path of the conveying device 2, which is configured to press the plate surface of the sheet A during the transportation process of the sheet A to position the sheet.

[0035] The pressing wheel mechanism 4 is arranged on at least one side of the conveying path of the conveying device 2. In this embodiment, the pressing wheel mechanism 4 is arranged on both sides of the conveying path of the conveying device 2, and each side includes a plurality of 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d arranged at intervals along the conveying path. The arrangement length and quantity of the pressing wheel mechanism 4 can be determined according to the length of the sheet A, and it is necessary to maintain the position and flatness of the plate surface during the transportation process of the sheet A. In other embodiments, the pressing wheel mechanism 2 can also be one extending a predetermined length along the conveying path, which is not limited herein.

[0036] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the pressing wheel mechanism 4 includes a support base body 40 connected to the frame 1, one or more pressing wheel assemblies 41 arranged at intervals and installed on the support body 40, and a first power mechanism 43 (see Figure 2 shown in the figure) for driving the pressing wheel assembly 41 to press or retract. The pressing wheel assembly 41 includes a telescopic rod 410 installed on the support base body 40 and a rotating wheel 411 installed at one end of the telescopic rod 410 and used for pressing the plate surface. The first power mechanism 43 is connected to the telescopic rod 410.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first power mechanism 43 is a cylinder mechanism, and the cylinder mechanism drives the telescopic rod 410 to move, thereby driving the rotating wheel 411 to press or retract the plate surface of the sheet. In other embodiments, the first power mechanism 43 can also be a crank connecting rod mechanism driven by a motor, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotating wheel 411 rotates following the movement of the sheet A during the movement of the sheet A, thereby preventing frictional damage to the sheet surface. The rotating wheel 411 can directly press against the sheet surface of the sheet, or can extend into the recess A1 of the sheet (see Figure 6 shown) to press against the sheet, so as to make the positioning more accurate. Among them, the recess A1 can be the pattern shape of the sheet surface or can be preset.

[0039] The pressing wheel mechanism 4 of the embodiment of the present application realizes the upper pressing of the sheet. The number of the pressing wheel mechanisms 4 can be determined according to the length of the sheet. The front and rear positions of the pressing wheel mechanism can be determined according to the length of the sheet and the feeding position.

[0040] As Figure 2 shown, the starting positioning device 3 includes a sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 and a lifting mechanism 31 installed on the frame 1. The sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 is arranged above the conveying device 2, and the lifting mechanism 31 is arranged below the conveying device 2. The sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 is used to cooperate with a preset groove or protrusion A2 (see Figure 6 shown) on the sheet surface of the sheet A to position the sheet A after the lifting mechanism 31 lifts the sheet A away from the conveying device 2, so that the sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 can perform positioning without stopping the conveying device 2.

[0041] As Figure 4 shown, the sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 includes a lifting base 301 installed on the frame 1, an alignment head 302 installed below the lifting base 301, and a second power mechanism 303 (see Figure 2 ) that drives the lifting base 301 to move. The alignment head 302 is used to cooperate with the preset groove A2 of the sheet A (see Figure 6 shown). In this embodiment, the second power mechanism 303 is a cylinder mechanism. The sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 can quickly pre-position the sheet.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the starting positioning device 3 further includes a sheet side positioning mechanism 32 installed on the frame 1 and arranged on both sides of the conveying path, which is configured to perform pressing and positioning on the sheet A after the sheet surface positioning mechanism 30 positions the sheet A to perform overall positioning on the sheet A.

[0043] As Figure 5 shown, the sheet side positioning mechanism 32 includes a moving base 320 installed on the frame, a clamping member 321 installed on the side of the moving base 320, and a third power mechanism 322 that drives the moving base 320 to move. The clamping member 321 is used to clamp the side of the sheet A. In this embodiment, the third power mechanism 322 also adopts a cylinder device.

[0044] The sheet integrating device 100 of this embodiment further includes a control device (not shown) connected to the starting positioning device 3 and the conveying positioning device 4, which is used to realize the automatic control of the actions of the starting positioning device 3 and the conveying positioning device 4. The control device controls the pressing wheel mechanism 4, the board surface positioning mechanism 30, the board side positioning mechanism 32, and the lifting mechanism 31 to act in a predetermined order.

[0045] The predetermined order in this embodiment means that the starting positioning device 30 first positions the sheet A; when the starting positioning device 3 releases the positioning, the conveying positioning device 4 positions the sheet. When the starting positioning device 30 positions the sheet A, the board surface positioning mechanism 30 is first controlled to position the sheet A, and then the board side positioning mechanism 32 is controlled to press and position the sheet A.

[0046] The sheet integrating device 100 of this embodiment further includes a detection device (not shown) connected to the control device and used to detect the sheet signal. When the detection device detects the sheet, the control device controls the positioning device to act. Among them, a position probe can be used as the detection device.

[0047] As Figure 2 shown, the conveying device 2 is a chain conveying device, including a first conveying chain 21 and a second conveying chain 22 arranged in parallel. The integrating device 100 further includes an adjusting device 23 connected to the first conveying chain 21 and the second conveying chain 22. The adjusting device 23 is used to adjust the distance between the first conveying chain 21 and the second conveying chain 22, so as to adapt to sheets of different widths. In this embodiment, the adjusting device 23 is implemented by a lead screw device. The adjusting device 23 can use devices such as an encoder to achieve precise positioning of the width;

[0048] As Figure 2 、 Figure 6 shown, the working process of the sheet integrating device 100 of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] First, the detection device detects that the sheet completely enters the integrating device 100 and reaches a predetermined position.

[0050] Second, the lifting device 31 lifts the sheet upward so that the sheet A is separated from the lower conveying device.

[0051] Third, the board surface positioning mechanism 30 descends to position the sheet.

[0052] Fourth, the left and right board side positioning mechanisms 32 perform pressing and positioning.

[0053] Fifth, the board surface positioning mechanism 30 and the board side positioning mechanism 32 are released.

[0054] Sixth, the lifting mechanism 31 releases the sheet to the conveying track;

[0055] VII. The pressing wheel mechanism 4 presses and positions the sheet material and releases it after the sheet material is output. Specifically, the output position of the sheet material can be detected by a detection device.

[0056] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for a sheet material integration device, including the following operations:

[0057] S1: When it is detected that the sheet material enters the conveying device, control the starting positioning device to position the sheet material;

[0058] S2: After the starting positioning device releases the positioning, control the conveying and positioning device to position the sheet material.

[0059] Among them, the control of the starting positioning device to position the sheet material in S1 includes: controlling the lifting device to lift the sheet material away from the conveying device, controlling the sheet surface positioning mechanism to position the sheet material, and controlling the sheet side positioning device to position the sheet material.

[0060] Among them, the control of the conveying and positioning device to position the sheet material in S2 includes: controlling the pressing wheel mechanism to press against the sheet surface of the sheet material during the transportation of the sheet material to position the sheet material.
