Example

[0031] Please see Figure 1-11 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0032] An ion blowing dust removal device for film application equipment includes a base 1, a worktable 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a film pressing assembly 6 fixedly installed on one side of the worktable 2 around its circumference, and a pair of spaced-apart plasma fans 4 fixedly installed on the side of the worktable 2 away from the film pressing assembly 6 around its circumference. An FFU treatment system 5 is spaced-apart on the top of the worktable 2. By setting up a pair of plasma fans 4, it is convenient to blow air onto the worktable 2 through the plasma fans 4. The dust blown by the plasma fans 4 is filtered by the FFU treatment system 5. After filtering the dust in the air, fresh air is obtained to ensure the quality of film application.

[0033] A four-axis robot arm 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 2 along the horizontal direction of its base 1, and a four-axis robot arm 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the workbench 2 away from the four-axis robot arm 7 along the horizontal direction of its base 1. The four-axis robot arm 7 and the four-axis robot arm 8 have the same structure. By setting up the four-axis robot arm 7 and the four-axis robot arm 8, it is easy to connect the previous process and the next process, which improves work efficiency and makes the operation more precise.

[0034] The bottom end of the four-axis robot arm 7 is fixedly installed on the top end of the base 1. The four-axis robot arm 7 includes a first axis 73. The top end of the first axis 73 is fixedly installed with a second axis 74. The top end of the second axis 74 is rotatably connected to a third axis 75. A detector 715 is rotatably installed on the end of the third axis 75 away from the second axis 74. A fourth axis 76 is fixedly installed on the end of the detector 715 away from the third axis 75.

[0035] A suction component 713 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the four-axis robot 76. The suction component 713 is arranged in an inverted U-shape. Multiple slide rails 78 are movably mounted on both ends of the suction component 713 opposite to the installation side. A fixing component 714 is fixedly mounted on the side of the slide rails 78 away from the suction component 713. A cylinder 77 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing component 714. A telescopic rod 712 is movably connected to the bottom end of the cylinder 77. A contour positioning head 710 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 712. A suction nozzle 79 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the contour positioning head 710. By using a four-axis robot, the operation during the film application process is more flexible. First, start... Four-axis robotic arms 7 and 8 rotate shaft 24 to detect the workpiece via detector 715. Then, shaft 75 rotates to move suction device 713 above the workpiece. Subsequently, shaft 76 moves down and, near the workpiece, cylinder 77 is activated, driving telescopic rod 712 to move. Telescopic rod 712 further drives the connected contour positioning head 710 to move, causing it to slide on slide rail 78. The contour positioning head 710 then drives the connected suction nozzle 79 to move, picking up the workpiece and completing the handling process.

[0036] Among them, the suction nozzle 79 of the four-axis robot 17 adopts a planar suction method and is made of urethane rubber with a Rockwell hardness between 30 and 35. The four-axis robot 28 adopts a sponge non-marking suction nozzle 79, which will not damage the surface of the workpiece during the suction process, which is beneficial to the suction of the workpiece. The contour positioning head 710 can be made of either PEEK or urethane rubber, with the urethane rubber having a Rockwell hardness between 75 and 85.

[0037] The worktable 2 includes a turntable 22, with a motor 21 rotatably connected to the bottom of the turntable 22. The bottom of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. Multiple spaced carriers are fixedly mounted on the turntable 22, each containing a product film. Any carrier is perpendicular to the bottom of the film-pressing assembly 6 along its length. By setting up the turntable 22, the motor 21 is driven, causing the turntable 22 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 22 drives the film-applying equipment. Furthermore, four-axis robotic arms 7 and 8 are provided. The turntable 22 rotates counterclockwise. The four-axis robot 7 picks up the workpiece and puts it into the carrier. Then, the four-axis robot 8 sends the workpiece from the carrier to the film application end. The applied product film is then sent back to the carrier. The four-axis robot 7 picks up the workpiece with the applied product film and puts it into the finished product hopper. During this process, the film applied on the worktable 2 is pressed by the film pressing assembly 6 to ensure a tight connection between the product film and the workpiece, ensuring the quality of the film application. In addition, the cleanliness of the worktable 2 is improved by the cooperation of the plasma fan 4 and the FFU treatment system 5.

[0038] A vacuum system 3 is also fixedly installed at the top of the turntable 22. The vacuum system 3 includes multiple spaced supports 31. The bottom ends of the multiple supports 31 are fixedly connected to the turntable 22. A support plate 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the multiple supports 31. Multiple sets of vacuum devices 34 are fixedly connected to the support plate 32. A rotating shaft 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support plate 32. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the top of the turntable 22. The turntable 22 and the rotating shaft 24 are concentrically arranged. A connector 33 is provided inside the rotating shaft 24. One end of the connector 33 is connected to the multiple sets of vacuum devices 34, and the other end of the connector 33 is connected to the carrier. By setting up the vacuum device 34 and indirectly connecting the vacuum device 34 to the carrier, it is convenient for the carrier to pick up the workpiece through the vacuum device 34, which further facilitates the four-axis robot 7 and the four-axis robot 8 to pick up the workpiece.

[0039] Both the four-axis robotic arm 7 and the four-axis robotic arm 8 are equipped with material throwing boxes 9 at intervals along their running direction. The air outlets of a pair of plasma blowers 4 are set towards the worktable 2. The two-axis main arms of the four-axis robotic arm 7 and the four-axis robotic arm 8 are equipped with a housing 71 on the side opposite to their running direction. Multiple external connectors 72 are set on the side of the housing 71 opposite to the two-axis main arms. By setting up the material throwing boxes 9, it is convenient to collect deformed and damaged products, so as to improve the film coating quality of the products.

[0040] The plasma fan 4 includes a positioning base 41, with a transition joint 42 rotatably connected between the positioning base 41 and the worktable 2. A support frame 44 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning base 41, and a transition piece 43 is rotatably connected to the support frame 44 on the opposite mounting side along the length direction of the positioning base 41. The plasma fan 4 is rotatably connected to the transition piece 43. By setting up the plasma fan 4, it is convenient to clean the dust on the worktable 2 and maintain a clean working environment. By setting up the transition joint 42, the positioning base 41 and the worktable 2 can rotate freely to adjust the blowing angle of the plasma fan 4. By setting up the transition piece 43, and by enabling free rotation between the plasma fan 4 and the support frame 44, it is convenient to move the plasma fan 4 at any time to achieve multi-angle adjustment of the plasma fan 4.

[0041] The FFU treatment system 5 includes a fan hood 51, which is located at the top of the FFU treatment system 5. A safety net 52 is installed at the top of the fan hood 51. A filter 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the FFU treatment system 5. By setting the filter 53, dust in the air is filtered out to obtain clean air, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment.

[0042] The working principle of the ion blowing dust removal device for film application equipment provided by this invention is as follows:

[0043] During use, by setting up a pair of plasma fans 4, it is convenient to blow air onto the workbench 2 through the plasma fans 4. The dust blown up by the plasma fans 4 is filtered by the FFU treatment system 5. After filtering the dust in the air, fresh air is obtained to ensure the quality of film application.

[0044] The drive motor 21 drives the connected turntable 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the film application equipment. A four-axis robotic arm 7 and a four-axis robotic arm 8 are used, with the turntable 22 rotating counter-clockwise. The four-axis robotic arm 7 picks up the workpiece and places it into a carrier, while the four-axis robotic arm 8 delivers the workpiece from the carrier to the film application end. The applied product film is then delivered back into the carrier, and the four-axis robotic arm 7 picks up the film-applied workpiece and places it into the finished product hopper. Meanwhile, the film applied on the worktable 2 is pressed by the film-pressing component 6 to ensure a tight bond between the product film and the workpiece, guaranteeing the quality of the film application. This is the entire operating procedure of the ion blowing dust removal device for the film application equipment.
