Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of card processing technology, and more specifically, to a card slitting and slicing device. Background Technology

[0002] Card processing typically involves multiple steps such as feeding, alignment, and cutting. Existing processing devices, such as the structure disclosed in patent CN201710536749.1, an automatic slitting and dividing machine, mostly operate on the edges of the entire large card during the alignment stage. They use pushing or friction to align the cards along the edges. This existing alignment method is feasible for large cards that are relatively hard and small in area. However, for large cards that are large in area and made of soft materials, this existing alignment method easily causes the entire card to wrinkle and deform, making alignment impossible. This will prevent subsequent processes from proceeding smoothly. A more versatile card slitting and dividing device is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] The card striping and segmenting device of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, see also Figure 2-16 The system includes a processing table 1 and a carrier plate 2 located on the processing table. The processing table 1 is sequentially equipped with a card alignment mechanism 3 for aligning cards, a card slitting mechanism 4 for slitting and cutting aligned cards into strips, and a card segmentation mechanism 5 for segmenting the slitting cards into blocks. The card alignment mechanism 3 includes two horizontally rotatable suction heads 30 mounted on the carrier plate 2. The two suction heads 30 are distributed along the feeding direction and spaced apart.

The lateral movement direction of the suction heads 30 is not parallel to the feeding direction. A first movable groove 20 for the suction heads 30 to move is provided on the carrier plate 2. (The preferred embodiment is that the lateral movement direction of the suction heads is perpendicular to the feeding direction.)

[0038] Using the structure of this application, two suction heads 30 are used to hold the middle or near the middle of the entire large card. Then, the lateral movement of the two suction heads 30 is adjusted by the lateral movement component to straighten the entire large card and / or move the entire large card laterally. The self-rotating nature of the suction heads 30 can prevent twisting or wrinkling when the entire large card is straightened. The overall structure is reasonable and compact, with fast alignment and can greatly improve the applicability to card materials and areas, facilitating subsequent strip and block cutting operations.

[0039] Preferably, a feeding mechanism 6 is also provided at the front end of the processing table for feeding cards. The feeding mechanism 6 can be an existing component, and this application does not make any improvements in this regard.

[0040] It should be noted that the transverse component can be selected from the following structural forms, or existing transverse equipment can be used to achieve transverse movement. Such a simple replacement based on conventional means also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

A position sensor 313 for detecting the position of the suction head mounting plate is provided on the base plate 310. Preferably, multiple position sensors 313 are provided and distributed along the sliding direction of the suction head mounting plate 312. The linear drive mechanism 311 can be in the form of a screw and screw sleeve as described below, or it can be in the form of a gear rack, linear motor, etc. Such simple replacement based on conventional means also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the linear drive mechanism 311 includes a first drive motor 3110, with a screw 3111 coaxially connected to the movable end of the first drive motor 3110. A screw sleeve 3112, threadedly fitted onto the screw, is fixed on the suction head mounting plate 312. The screw and screw sleeve drive the suction head mounting plate to slide on the base plate through the threaded engagement between the screw and the screw sleeve, resulting in good stability and high precision.

[0043] Or, such as Figure 5 As shown, the linear drive mechanism 311 includes a second drive motor 3113, with a drive gear 3114 at the movable end of the second drive motor 3113, and a rack 3115 meshing with the drive gear 3114 on the suction head mounting plate 312; the linear drive mechanism 311 also includes a spring 3116 providing elastic restoring force to the suction head mounting plate 312, with both ends of the spring 3116 connected to the base plate 310 and the suction head mounting plate 312 respectively; the transmission effect can be achieved through the cooperation of the gear and rack; to further increase the accuracy of the gear and rack structure, a spring can be used for tensioning.

[0047] During processing, the entire sheet of cards on the upper surface of the carrier plate 2 is clamped and fed by the clamping and feeding unit 40. When the feeding passes through the two circular cutting units 41, the two circular cutting units 41 cut the two sides. When the entire sheet of cards is delivered to the cutting module 42, the cutting module 42 first performs edge cutting, then performs slitting and cutting, and finally cuts the end of the entire sheet of cards. The edge cutting and slitting operations can be completed in one process, which simplifies the structure, reduces costs and improves efficiency. The overall structure is reasonable, simple and very compact, and occupies little space.

[0048] After the cutting module 42 cuts the whole card into strips, the cut strip cards will fall into the receiving groove 43. When the collected strip cards accumulate to a certain height, the drive unit is activated to drive multiple toggle bars 44 to move, so that the cards are aligned with the edge, which facilitates subsequent processing operations.

[0049] It should be noted that the clamping and feeding unit, circular cutter unit, and drive unit involved in this application can use existing components and no improvement is required; the cutting module in this application can use the structure described below or other existing cutting structures, and there are no restrictions here.

[0052] The cam mechanism 423 can use existing components and is not limited thereto; during operation, the cam mechanism 423 is driven by the third drive motor 424 to move, which drives the cutter 421 to move back and forth, and cooperates with the die 422 to achieve stable cutting.

[0053] Preferably, the card segmentation mechanism 5 includes a feeding channel 50 connected to the receiving groove 43, a first pushing mechanism 51 that pushes the stacked strip cards in the receiving groove 43 into the feeding channel 50 and guides the ends of the stacked strip cards, a pressing mechanism 52 that presses the stacked strip cards in the feeding channel 50, a guiding mechanism that guides the cards in the feeding channel 50 to the side, a clamping feeding mechanism 54 that clamps and feeds the stacked strip cards in the feeding channel 50, and a cutting mechanism 55 that segments and cuts the stacked strip cards sent out of the feeding channel 50.

[0054] The feeding channel 50 and the receiving groove 43 are connected. The stacked bar cards in the receiving groove 43 are pushed into the feeding channel 50 by the first pushing mechanism 51 and the ends of the stacked bar cards are guided. The pressing mechanism 52 maintains the pressing force on the stacked bar cards. The guiding mechanism guides the sides of the stacked bar cards. After the stacked bar cards are completely fed into the feeding channel 50, the clamping feeding mechanism 54 clamps the stacked bar cards to feed them step by step. The cutting mechanism 55 cuts the stacked bar cards into pieces according to the feeding rhythm. The overall structure is simple, the degree of automation is high, and it can greatly reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve production efficiency.

[0055] It should be noted that the clamping and feeding mechanism 54 and the cutting mechanism 55 can adopt existing structures; the clamping and feeding mechanism 54 can adopt the structure of the applicant's earlier application: CN201921113257.2 A card front push and front feed module, or it can adopt other existing structures; the first pushing mechanism 51, the pressing mechanism 52 and the guiding mechanism can adopt the following structural forms, or they can adopt existing structures.

[0056] Preferably, the first pushing mechanism 51 includes a slide rail 510, a pushing head slidably disposed on the slide rail 510, a drive belt 511 that drives the pushing head to slide along the slide rail 510, and a belt motor 512 that provides power to the drive belt 511. Figure 9In the diagram, A represents the position when the first pushing mechanism is fully extended, and B represents the initial position of the first pushing mechanism. The pushing head includes a base 513 with a sliding rail, and the base 513 is connected to a drive belt 511.

[0057] The belt motor 512 drives the drive belt 511 to run, which in turn drives the base 513 to slide along the slide rail 510, which in turn drives the multiple pusher plates 516 on the pusher rod 514 to push the end of the bar card and guide it. In use, the height of the pusher rod 514 can be adjusted by the lifting unit 515 as needed.

[0058] Preferably, there is a third installation gap between the material carrier plate 2 and the processing table 1; a guiding mechanism is provided in the third installation gap, the guiding mechanism includes multiple guiding rods 560 and a transverse moving mechanism (which can be an existing drive such as a cylinder or lead screw) that drives the multiple guiding rods 560 to move along the width direction of the feeding channel. The material carrier plate 2 is provided with multiple movable through slots 24 that cooperate with the guiding rods 560, and the upper end of the guiding rod 560 passes through the corresponding movable through slot 24; this facilitates the guiding of the cards in the feeding channel 50, has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and maintain, and has good overall integrity.

The inner hole of the extrusion rounding knife 74 communicates with the discharge channel 730. The extrusion mechanism 71 includes an upper knife pressure plate 710 and a first lifting mechanism that drives the upper knife pressure plate 710 to rise and fall. A single card or multiple stacked cards are placed on the extrusion rounding knife 74. After being positioned by the positioning mechanism, the first lifting mechanism (which can be a conventional hydraulic cylinder, etc.) drives the upper knife pressure plate downwards to extrude the card, forming a corner. The card, after corner extrusion, falls through the inner hole of the extrusion rounding knife into the discharge channel 730. The first pushing component 731 pushes the card out of the discharge channel 730. This process achieves high processing accuracy and good product consistency, while also exhibiting a high degree of automation.

The inner bottom of the discharge channel 730 is provided with a longitudinal channel 734 for the receiving plate 732 to move. The longitudinal channel 734 is directly opposite to the inner hole of the extrusion knife 74. When performing the extrusion operation, the receiving plate can extend into the extrusion knife to catch the card. After catching the card, it retracts downward into the longitudinal channel and is then pushed out by the first pushing component to push the card to the outlet of the discharge channel.

[0063] The outlet of the discharge channel 730 is equipped with a card weighing mechanism 9 for weighing the cards after extrusion; this facilitates the weighing and counting of the processed cards.
