DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a splitting and loading device is provided. Figures 1 to 9, including: a transport line 1, which is used to transport a material group 100; a splitting component 2, which is arranged corresponding to the transport line 1, and the splitting component 2 has a cutting component 21 for cutting off the binding components 10 bound to the material group 100; a picking component 3, which is located on the side of the transport line 1 away from the splitting component 2; the picking component 3 is used to transport the cut binding components 10; a loading component 4, which is located downstream of the splitting component 2 and the picking component 3, and the loading component 4 includes a loading component 41 for contacting the material group 100, and the loading component 41 is movably arranged to push the material 101 in the material group 100 through the loading component 41, so that the material 101 in the material group 100 is separated from the material group 100.

[0039] In the splitting and loading device of this embodiment, the material group 100 is transported to the splitting assembly 2 via the transport line 1 to cut the bundled components 10. The picking assembly 3 is located on the side of the transport line 1 away from the splitting assembly 2. The cut bundled components 10 are collected by the picking assembly 3 and transported to a designated location. The split material 101 is then transported by the transport line 1 to the loading assembly 4. The loading assembly 4 is located downstream of the splitting assembly 2 and the picking assembly 3. The loading assembly 4 is provided with a loading component 41 that contacts the material group 100. The loading component 41 can rotate horizontally along the horizontal plane of the transport line 1, and the loading component 41 pushes the material 101 split from the material group 100 out of the material group 100.

[0040] Specifically, material group 100 is a bundle of foam, and binding component 10 is a plastic rope used to bind the foam. Before using the foam, the rope must be cut and the foam removed one by one. A transport line 1 of appropriate length is set up according to the size of the site environment. Multiple bundles of foam are stored on transport line 1 and transported to the disassembly component 2 via transport line 1. Disassembly component 2 cuts the plastic rope used to bind the foam, and the material removal component 3 removes the cut plastic rope. The foam loading component 4 then separates the stacked foam into individual pieces, which are then transported via transport line 1 to the destination where the foam is needed.

[0041] See Figure 2In this embodiment of the disassembly and loading device, the retrieving assembly 3 includes a retrieving cart 31, which is movably mounted and equipped with a retrieving box 32 for loading the bundled components 10; and a robot 33, whose robotic arm is equipped with a transfer assembly 34. The transfer assembly 34 is used to grab the bundled components 10 and transfer them to the retrieving box 32 after they have been severed. The retrieving assembly 3 includes a retrieving cart 31, which is equipped with a retrieving box 32 for loading the bundled components 10; and a robot 33, whose robotic arm is equipped with a transfer assembly 34 for grabbing the bundled components 10 and placing them into the retrieving box 32. After the disassembly assembly 2 cuts the plastic rope, the separated plastic rope is grabbed by the transfer assembly 34 of the robot 33 and transferred to the retrieving box 32 on the retrieving cart 31. The provision of the retrieving box 32 allows for the centralized storage of discarded plastic rope, significantly improving on-site sanitation and enhancing the cleanliness of the production workshop.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the disassembly and loading device of this embodiment, the transfer assembly 34 includes: a connecting plate 341 connected to the robot arm 33; a gripping member 342 movably connected to the connecting plate 341; a gripping member 342 provided with a gripping claw for gripping the binding member 10; and a proximity switch 343 having a contact rod 344 movably disposed relative to the connecting plate 341; and a rotatable contact wheel 3441 disposed on the side of the contact rod 344 away from the connecting plate 341. After the cutting member 21 of the disassembly assembly 2 cuts the plastic rope, the robot 33 begins operation, slowly moving closer to the foam. A proximity switch 343 is disposed below the connecting plate 341, and is equipped with a contact rod 344. A rotatable contact wheel 3441 is disposed at one end of the contact rod 344. As the robot 33 drives the transfer component 34 to gradually approach the bundled foam, when the contact wheel 3441 touches the foam, the robot 33 stops moving forward and simultaneously starts the grabbing component 342 on the transfer component 34, and grabs the cut plastic rope through the claws on the grabbing component 342.

[0043] The portion in contact with the foam is provided with a rotatable wheel-shaped contact wheel 3441, which can effectively prevent the risk of scratching the foam when in contact with the foam.

[0044] See Figure 3In the disassembly and loading device of this embodiment, the transfer assembly 34 includes: two fixed columns 345 arranged at intervals, each of which is connected to a connecting plate 341; a proximity switch 343 located between the two fixed columns 345; and a photographing component 346 disposed on the connecting plate 341 and located between the two fixed columns 345. The photographing component 346 is used to obtain the position information of the binding component 10 and move the robotic arm based on this position information. Two fixed columns 345 are disposed below the connecting plate 341. The two fixed columns 345 press against the foam group to prevent the foam group from moving during the process of the gripper retrieving the plastic rope. A photographing component 346 is also disposed between the two fixed columns 345. The photographing component 346 obtains the position information of the discarded plastic rope, allowing the robotic arm to move based on this position information, driving the gripper of the grasping component 342 to accurately grasp the plastic rope.

[0045] See Figure 3 In the splitting and loading device of this embodiment, a movable hole 3411 is provided on the connecting plate 341, and the movable hole 3411 is provided through the connecting plate 341.

In the transfer assembly 34, a movable hole 3411 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 341 for the grabbing component 342 to pass through. Two fixing columns 345 are fixed to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 341. The proximity switch 343 is fixed to one side of the movable hole 3411 on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 341. The shooting component 346 is fixed to the other side of the movable hole 3411 on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 341.

A lifting platform 351 is also provided to carry the reclaiming vehicle 31, and the lifting platform 351 is movably arranged in the vertical direction. The reclaiming trolley 31 can carry multiple reclaiming boxes 32. When a reclaiming box 32 is full of discarded plastic ropes, a signal is sent through the warning device, and the reclaiming trolley 31 moves downward on the lifting platform 351. The transfer platform 36 transfers the empty reclaiming box 32 to the reclaiming trolley 31. The transfer platform 36 is provided with multiple lifting sensors 361 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The multiple lifting sensors 361 can determine the position of the reclaiming box 32 full of plastic ropes. When the lowest group of lifting sensors 361 detects that the reclaiming box 32 is full of plastic ropes, a prompt is sent through the warning device to remind the equipment maintenance personnel to clean the reclaiming box 32 full of ropes, pull out the reclaiming trolley 31 to pour out the discarded plastic ropes in the reclaiming box 32, and then an empty reclaiming box 32 can be obtained.

Two guide posts 357 are fixed between the top and bottom plates 353 and 354. The ends of the lifting screw 356 pass through the through holes in the top and bottom plates 353 and 354. The drive motor 355 and the lifting screw 356 are fixed together via a coupling. The slider component 358 has three holes: a threaded hole in the middle (which can mate with the lifting screw 356) and two through holes on either side (which mate with the guide posts 357).

The piston rod of the push cylinder 3621 pushes the push plate 3622, pushing the reclaiming box 32 from the first transfer platform 362 to the second transfer platform 363. The second transfer rail 3631 of the second transfer platform 363 then transfers the reclaiming box 32 to the lifting platform 351. The angle between the first and second transfer platforms 362 and 363 provides an angle for the push plate 3622 of the first transfer platform 362 to push one side of the reclaiming box 32. The first transfer platform 362 has a gradual downward slope along the forward direction of the first transfer rail, allowing it to move forward with the help of gravity when transporting the reclaiming box 32.

[0049] See Figure 5 In the splitting and loading device of this embodiment, the retrieving assembly 3 includes: two retrieving sensors 37 spaced apart from each other. The two retrieving sensors 37 are arranged corresponding to the push cylinder 3621, so that the retrieving box 32 pushed by the push plate 3622 passes between the two retrieving sensors 37 and then falls from the transfer platform 36; a first rotary cylinder 38, which is signal-connected to the two retrieving sensors 37.

A symmetrical structure is set, and along axial rotation one circle, the loading plate can push the foam twice, impelling the foam to move forward. Arrange like this, reduce the working energy consumption of the 3rd rotary cylinder 12 and can complete the loading operation again.

[0054] Specifically, the loading component 41 is also provided with a horizontal screw guide slide 414. Two smooth rods 4144 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the base. The two ends of the horizontal screw rod 4145 pass through the through holes on the two side plates of the base. The slider 4146 has three holes, the middle hole is a threaded hole (which can be matched with the horizontal screw rod 4145), and the two holes on both sides are through holes (matched with the smooth rod 4144). The slider 4146 is sleeved on the horizontal screw rod 4145 and the smooth rod 4144. The handwheel 4142 is fixedly connected between the horizontal screw rod 4145 and the coupling 4143. The fixed handle 4141 is fixedly connected to the outside of the base. The position of the third rotary cylinder 12 and the loading component 41 is adjusted through the horizontal screw guide slide 414, thereby adjusting the horizontal movement position of the connecting shaft 411, so as to push materials 101 of different lengths to the specified position.

[0055] See Figure 8In this embodiment of the disassembly and loading device, the transport line 1 comprises: a first transport line 110, equipped with a first conveyor belt; a disassembly assembly 2 mounted on the first transport line 110; a second transport line 120, located downstream of the first transport line 110, equipped with a second conveyor belt; a third transport line 130, located downstream of the second transport line 120, equipped with a third conveyor belt; and a loading component 41 mounted on the third transport line 130. The entire transport line 1 is subdivided, with each transport line 1 transported downstream via a conveyor belt. The disassembly assembly 2 is mounted on the first transport line 110 to cut the plastic ropes; and the loading component 41 is mounted on the third transport line 130 to extract individual foams. This arrangement allows the transport line 1 to perform its functions in different functional areas, making the disassembly and loading device more flexible. Fixed plates 7, made of acrylic sheets, are fixedly connected to both sides of the first, second, and third conveyor belts.

[0056] See Figure 8 In this embodiment, the disassembly and loading device further includes: a first transfer sensor 51 and a second transfer sensor 52 for sensing the material group 100. The first transfer sensor 51 is located upstream of the second transfer sensor 52, and the first and second transfer sensors 51 and 52 are located on opposite sides of the disassembly assembly 2. The first transfer sensor 51 is signal-connected to the first conveyor belt; the second transfer sensor 52 is signal-connected to the cutting component 21; a third transfer sensor 53 for sensing the material group 100 is located between the second transport line 120 and the third transport line 130; the third transfer sensor 53 is signal-connected to the second conveyor belt; and a fourth transfer sensor 54 for sensing the material group 100 is located downstream of the third transfer sensor 53. The fourth transfer sensor 54 is signal-connected to the loading component 41. Each transport line is equipped with different transfer sensors based on their functions to identify and transmit signals.

[0057] The specific description of the splitting and loading device of this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] It mainly includes three transport lines 1, a centering module, a splitting component 2, a material taking component 3, a transfer component 34, a loading component 4, a material blocking component 42, etc.

[0059] participate Figure 9, there is a centering component 6 on each side of the conveyor belt of the first transport line body 110. There is a gap in the middle of the conveyor belt, and the splitting component 2 is below the gap. The material picking component 3 is fixed on one side of a conveyor belt, the transfer component 34 is behind the material picking component 3, and the material blocking component 42 and the splitting component 2 are respectively fixed on both sides of the transport line 1. Acrylic protective plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the transport line body of each section. The foam group (with rope) is placed on the first transport line body 110, and the foam group (without rope) is placed on the second transport line body 120 and the third transport line body 130.

[0060] The centering component 6 has a bracket, one side of which is fixed to the first transport line body 110, and the other side is fixed to the telescopic cylinder. The push plate is fixed to the telescopic cylinder through a connecting block.

[0061] The splitting component 2 has a telescopic cylinder 213 fixedly connected to the cutting rope base 214 of the cutting component 21, and the high-temperature knife 211 is fixed to the telescopic cylinder 213 through a fixing ring 212.

[0062] The use process of the splitting and loading device of this embodiment is as follows:

[0063] The specific alarm interval length is determined based on the actual length and the length of the foam group. Every once in a while, a refill warning is issued through the PLC to remind employees to refill the foam group (with rope) on the first transport line 110.

[0064] When the infrared sensors detect the passage of a foam pack, after a period of time, the telescopic cylinders in the centering assemblies 6 on both sides of the first conveyor line 110 simultaneously extend a certain distance, pushing the foam pack (with rope), thereby ensuring that the foam pack (with rope) is in the center of the conveyor line. A PLC timer controls the retraction of the telescopic cylinders. After a period of time, the telescopic cylinders extend the high-temperature blades (the extended blades are slightly higher than the belt line, allowing them to cut the plastic rope without damaging the foam). After another period of time, the telescopic cylinders retract the blades. The infrared sensors coordinate with each other to assist in determining the position of the foam pack. After the telescopic cylinders retract, the first and second conveyor lines 110 and 120 stop rotating, and the robot begins transporting. After confirming the exact position of the plastic rope using the camera assembly 346, the robot moves the gripper assembly 342 above the rope and then presses down. When the proximity module signals, the gripper assembly 342 stops pressing, and the two fixing posts 345 just contact the top surface of the foam pack. The telescopic cylinder retracts, and the gripping jaws of the grabbing component 342 pass through the movable holes 3411 in the connecting plate 341. The telescopic cylinder then extends, separating the broken plastic rope from the foam pack. The fixed column 345 presses against the foam pack, preventing the foam pack from moving while the gripping jaws of the grabbing component 342 are removing the rope. The robot then moves to the top of the retrieving bin 32, releases the gripping jaws, and places the rope in the retrieving bin 32. The robot resets. When another infrared sensor detects the presence of foam, the first and second conveying lines 110 and 120 stop rotating. When the infrared sensor detects the presence of foam, the first and second conveying lines 110 and 120 rotate to deliver the foam pack (without rope) to the designated position of the third conveying line 130, then stop rotating. When the infrared sensor detects the presence of foam, the rotating cylinder rotates the foam blocking assembly, blocking the foam pack from moving forward. Simultaneously, the rotating cylinder rotates the foam pushing assembly, moving the bottommost foam piece of the foam pack forward.

[0065] When the photoelectric detection device detects that the material picking box 32 is full, the PLC controls the rotary cylinder to drive the blocking rod 381 to rotate to the gap between the empty frame limit slot lifting platform 351 and the slope break, between the two empty material picking boxes 32, (to prevent the empty box from sliding down during the retraction of the telescopic cylinder), the telescopic cylinder extends, and pushes the material picking box 32 (empty) on the empty frame limit slot lifting platform 351 forward, and the material picking box 32 (empty) replaces the position of the original material picking box 32 (releasing the rope), and the material picking box 32 (releasing the rope) is pushed to the top of the material picking box 32 (full). Then the driving motor 355 drives the lifting screw 356 to rotate, controlling the full frame limit box to drop to the height of one material picking box 32, the telescopic cylinder retracts, and the rotary cylinder drives the blocking rod 381 to leave the gap between the empty frame limit slot lifting platform 351 and the slope break, and the empty frames of the empty frame limit slot slope break slide down in turn. The position of the material box 32 full of plastic ropes can be determined by the three groups of infrared photoelectrics in the infrared photoelectric group of the transfer platform 36. When the lowest group of infrared photoelectrics in the infrared photoelectric group detects the material box 32 full of plastic ropes, a prompt is issued through the PLC to remind the equipment maintenance personnel to clean the material box 32 full of ropes, pull out the trolley to pour out the discarded plastic ropes in the material box 32 (full), and then get the material box 32 (empty), and then add the material box 32 (empty) to the empty frame limit slot.

[0066] Because different types of foam vary in length and thickness, the positions of the loading component 41 and the material stopper 42 need to be adjusted accordingly. The positions of the third rotary cylinder 12 and the loading component 41 are adjusted using the horizontal screw guide 414. The positions of the second rotary cylinder 11 and the material stopper 42 are adjusted using the vertical screw guide 421.
