Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically a rapid feeding and release paper structure. [Background Technology]

[0002] We usually put a film on the physical items we want to protect, such as a screen protector for mobile phones, to prevent the screen from being scratched, shattered, or fingerprinted. Therefore, applying a screen protector is a frequent and important process in the production of products. However, in the past, all of these actions were done by robotic arms.

[0003] Its automated protective film application process is as follows:

[0004] 1. The robotic arm picks up a protective film;

[0005] 2. The robotic arm places the protective film onto the adsorption fixture;

[0006] 3. The robotic arm tears the release paper off the suction fixture;

[0007] 4. The robotic arm discards the release paper;

[0008] 5. The robotic arm picks up the product to be attached;

[0009] 6. The robotic arm places the product to be attached onto the adsorption fixture and applies the protective film.

[0010] 7. The robotic arm removes the attached product and places it away properly;

[0011] Its disadvantages are: all actions are performed sequentially by the robotic arm, the robotic arm moves frequently, the cycle of automatically applying protective film cannot be shortened, it takes too long, and the production capacity is low.

[0012] In view of this, it is necessary to invent a rapid feeding and release paper tearing structure. This invention creates a dedicated rapid feeding and release paper tearing structure that replaces the robotic arm in completing actions 1, 2, 3, and 4. The device of this invention completes action 1, while simultaneously the robotic arm completes action 6 of the previous work cycle. The robotic arm then completes action 7, and then action 5 of the current work cycle. Simultaneously, the device of this invention completes actions 2, 3, and 4 of the current work cycle. This achieves rapid feeding and release paper tearing while the robotic arm completes the actions of placing the attached product, picking up the product to be attached, and attaching the product. Throughout the entire work cycle, the time spent on actions 1, 2, 3, and 4 by the robotic arm—namely, feeding and releasing paper tearing—is saved, thus improving production efficiency. [Summary of the Invention]

[0013] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a structure for rapid feeding and release paper removal. Compared with the previous operation mode, this structure enables rapid feeding of auxiliary materials and release paper removal while the robot arm completes the actions of placing the attached product, picking up the product to be attached, and attaching the product. This saves time in feeding auxiliary materials and removing release paper during the process of attaching auxiliary materials to the product.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] A rapid feeding and release paper structure, characterized in that it comprises:

[0016] Workbench;

[0017] The feeding and release paper tearing device, which is fixed on the worktable, includes: a base, a drive mechanism, a feeding device, and a release paper tearing device.

[0018] The base is fixed to the workbench;

[0019] The drive mechanism, which is fixed on the base, has two sliders;

[0020] The feeding device is fixedly connected to one of the sliders of the drive mechanism and can move horizontally. The feeding device serves to feed auxiliary materials.

[0021] The release paper tearing device is fixedly connected to another slider of the drive mechanism and can move horizontally. The release paper tearing device serves to tear the release paper.

[0022] The attaching fixture is fixed on the workbench and placed horizontally on one side of the base. The feeding device feeds the auxiliary material onto this attaching fixture. The attaching fixture can hold and release the auxiliary material, which assists the release paper tearing device in tearing the release paper and the robot arm in attaching the product.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive mechanism is provided with two drivers, which can be motors, and the two sliders of the drive mechanism can be motor-driven moving platforms, which are composed of ball screws and U-shaped linear guide rails. One driver drives the feeding device to move horizontally, and the other driver drives the release paper tearing device to move horizontally.

[0024] Furthermore, the feeding device is fixedly connected to the slider via a support base, which is perpendicular to the driving mechanism. The feeding device is equipped with a suction cup, which is fixedly connected to the end of a driver via a mounting plate. Driven by the driver, the suction cup moves vertically. The driver is fixedly connected to a set of motor-driven moving platforms via a mounting block. The motor-driven moving platforms are fixed on the support base, allowing the suction cup to move horizontally along the support base. The suction cup serves to transport auxiliary materials.

[0025] Furthermore, the release liner device is fixedly connected to the slider via a support base, which is perpendicular to the drive mechanism. The release liner device is equipped with a suction cup, which is fixedly connected to the end of a driver via a mounting plate. Driven by the driver, the suction cup moves vertically. The driver is fixedly connected to a set of motor-driven moving platforms via a mounting block. The motor-driven moving platforms are fixed on the support base, allowing the suction cup to move horizontally along the support base. The suction cup serves the function of releasing the paper.

[0026] Furthermore, the actuator for the vertical movement of the suction cup can be a cylinder.

[0027] Furthermore, the number of suction cups is designed according to the size requirements of the auxiliary materials being transported, and can be set to 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive mechanism is equipped with a tank chain to protect the cable, and the tank chain is fixed to the base.

[0029] Furthermore, the feeding device and the release paper tearing device are each equipped with a tank chain to protect the cable, and the tank chains are respectively fixed on the support base.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, this invention enables the robotic arm to quickly apply auxiliary materials and peel off release paper while simultaneously placing the already attached product, picking up the product to be attached, and attaching the product. This saves time on applying auxiliary materials and peeling off release paper during the process of attaching auxiliary materials to the product, reduces the cycle time of automated product attachment, and improves production efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the feeding device (130) is fixedly connected to the slider (111) via a support base (131). The support base (131) is perpendicular to the driving mechanism (120). The feeding device (130) is equipped with a suction cup (500), which is fixedly connected to the end of a driver (400) via a mounting plate (132). The driver (400) drives the suction cup (500) to move vertically. In this embodiment, the driver (400) is a cylinder, and the driver (400) is connected to a... A motor-driven mobile platform (134) is fixedly connected to the support base (131). The motor-driven mobile platform (134) is fixed on the support base (131). It is equipped with a slide (135) and a driver (400). The mounting block (133) is fixedly connected to the slide (135). Driven by the driver (400), the suction cup (500) can move horizontally along the support base (131). The suction cup (500) plays the role of transporting auxiliary materials (10). The number of suction cups (500) is designed according to the size requirements of the auxiliary materials (10) being transported. In this embodiment, it is set to 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the release liner device (140) is fixedly connected to the slider (111) via a support base (131). The support base (131) is perpendicular to the driving mechanism (120). The release liner device (140) is equipped with a suction cup (500), which is fixedly connected to the end of a driver (400) via a mounting plate (142). Driven by the driver (400), the suction cup (500) moves vertically. In this embodiment, the driver (400) is a cylinder. A mounting block (143) is fixedly connected to a set of motor-driven moving platforms (144). The motor-driven moving platforms (144) are fixed on the support base (131) and are provided with a slide (145) and a driver (400). The mounting block (143) is fixedly connected to the slide (145). Driven by the driver (400), the suction cup (500) can move horizontally along the support base (131). The suction cup (500) plays the role of tearing the release paper (11). In this embodiment, the number of suction cups (500) is set to 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism (120) is provided with a tank chain (300) to protect the cable, and the tank chain (300) is fixed on the base (110).

[0047] In this embodiment, the feeding device (130) and the release paper tearing device (140) are respectively equipped with a tank chain (300) to protect the cable, and the tank chain (300) is fixed on the support base (131).

[0048] In summary, its workflow is as follows:

[0049] The feeding device (130) is in the initial position, that is, away from the attachment fixture (2). Driven by the driver (400) of a set of motor-driven moving platform (134), the suction cup (500) of the feeding device (130) moves horizontally along the support base (131) to find the position to pick up the auxiliary material (10).

[0050] In the feeding device (130), the driver (400) that makes the suction cup (500) move vertically is driven. After the suction cup (500) picks up the auxiliary material (10) and raises it a certain distance, one of the drivers (400) of the driving mechanism (120) is driven, and the suction cup (500) moves horizontally to the attachment fixture (2). The driver (400) that makes the suction cup (500) move vertically is driven, and the suction cup (500) is placed on the attachment fixture (2). Then, driven by the driver (400), the feeding device (130) returns to the initial position to pick up the auxiliary material (10).

[0051] After the feeding device (130) transports the auxiliary material (10) onto the attaching fixture (2), and the attaching fixture (2) holds the auxiliary material (10), in the release paper tearing device (140), the driver (400) that makes the suction cup (500) move vertically is driven, and another driver (400) of the drive mechanism (120) is driven, making the suction cup (500) move vertically and horizontally. The release paper tearing device (140) moves above the suction fixture (2), quickly tears off the release paper (11) and leaves the discarded release paper (11). At the same time, the feeding device (130) picks up the auxiliary material (10) and waits.

[0052] A robotic arm (not shown in the figure) transports the product (not shown in the figure) for attachment. After the robotic arm leaves, the feeding device (130) places the picked-up auxiliary material (10) on the attachment fixture (2) and repeats the above actions to quickly feed the auxiliary material (10) and peel off the release paper (11).

[0053] After the above implementation method is more reasonable, in actual work, the fast feeding and release paper tearing structure of the present invention is used to quickly feed the auxiliary material (10) and tear the release paper (11). At the same time, the robot arm has already transported the product and is waiting to be attached. After the robot arm finishes attaching the product, while the robot arm is transporting the product away, the feeding device (130) puts the picked auxiliary material (10) on the attachment fixture (2). Then, the release paper tearing device (140) tears the release paper (11), and the robot arm completes the action of picking up the product (11). In the process of the robot arm attaching the auxiliary material (10) to the product, the time for feeding the auxiliary material (10) and tearing the release paper (11) is saved, the operation cycle of the automated attachment of auxiliary material (10) to the product is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0054] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
