Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of flat plate die cutting plates, and in particular to a flat plate die cutting plate automatic stripping machine and a method for using the flat plate die cutting plate automatic stripping machine. Background Art

[0002] Flatbed die cutting is a very commonly used tool in the packaging industry. A blade is provided on the flatbed die cutting to cut or indent the packaging material to meet the needs of use.

[0003] Typically, elastic material is placed on the cutting plates on either side of the blade's edge. This elastic material adheres to the cutting plates and is located on both sides of the blade, encasing the blade in the elastic material. The blade is only exposed during cutting, when the elastic material is compressed. This arrangement protects the blade, minimizing damage to the blade from impacts during non-operating hours. Furthermore, after the blade cuts the packaging material, the compressed elastic material returns to its original position, lifting the packaging material and freeing it from the blade.

[0004] Traditionally, cutting elastic material and attaching it to the blades on either side of the template has been done manually. However, this method is inefficient, requires a significant amount of man-hours, and manual cutting quality is often unreliable. When the cut size doesn't meet the requirements, significant amounts of elastic material are wasted. The blades are very sharp, and workers can easily be cut while attaching the elastic material, posing a safety hazard.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a flat-plate die-cutting automatic stripping machine, comprising:

[0055] A machine platform 1 is provided with an elastic material cutting station 2 and a flat die placement station 3;

[0056] An X / Y axis feeding mechanism 4 is provided on the machine platform 1 and is located above the elastic material cutting station 2 and the flat die placement station 3;

[0057] A Z-axis feeding mechanism 5 is provided on the X / Y-axis feeding mechanism 4;

[0058] The strip applying working part 6 is arranged on the Z-axis feeding mechanism 5 toward the elastic material cutting station 2 and the flat die placement station 3 . The strip applying working part 6 includes a rotatable cutting tool head 61 and a gripper tool head 62 .

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, slide rails 41 are provided on both sides of the machine 1, and a transverse bracket 42 is movably provided on the slide rails 41, and a transverse slide is movably provided on the transverse bracket 42, thereby forming an X / Y-axis feeding mechanism 4, and the Z-axis feeding mechanism 5 is fixed on the transverse slide.

[0060] The elastic material cutting station 2 and the flat die placement station 3 are provided on the machine 1. The distribution of the two stations can be adjusted according to actual production needs. They can be arranged side by side on the left and right, or arranged in a front-to-back order.

[0061] In other embodiments, multiple flat-plate cutting die placement stations 3 may even be set up simultaneously to improve the efficiency of flat-plate cutting die stripping and complete the stripping operation of multiple flat-plate cutting dies 7 in a short time.

[0062] The elastic material can be sponge, rubber, silicone, etc., as long as it can provide sufficient elasticity to meet the needs of use. In this application, the elastic material is sponge, and the raw material is a sponge sheet. According to the shape and size of the blade of the blade on the flat knife die 7, a sponge strip 71 that matches the shape and size of the blade 8 of the blade needs to be cut from the sponge sheet by the cutting tool head 61, so that the sponge strip 71 can protect the blade 8 after being attached to the flat knife die 7.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, on the flat knife die 7, sponge strips 71 are attached to the knife die plates on both sides of the blade 8. The height of the sponge strips 71 is greater than the height of the blade 8, so that the blade 8 is hidden between the sponge strips 71, which protects the blade 8 and also lifts the packaging material from the blade 8 after the blade 8 cuts the packaging material.

[0064] In this embodiment, the elastic material may be provided with an adhesive backing and be self-adhesive, or it may be provided without an adhesive backing. When the elastic material is provided with an adhesive backing, a dispensing tool head is not required for dispensing adhesive. When the elastic material is not provided with an adhesive backing, a dispensing tool head is required to perform the dispensing operation on the die plate.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting tool head 61 includes a first rotating seat 611, on which is provided a cutting tool 613 driven by a vibration motor 612 to vibrate up and down. The first rotating seat 611 is also provided with a first motor 614 that drives the cutting tool 613 to rotate.

[0066] The cutter 613 is rotatably mounted on the first rotary base 611. The output shaft of the vibration motor 612 is connected to the cutter 613. A floating pressure sleeve 615 is provided on the upper end of the cutter 613. A first synchronous pulley 616 is provided on the output shaft of the first motor 614. The cutter 613 is fixedly connected to a second synchronous pulley 617, which is driven by a belt. Thus, when the vibration motor 612 is in operation, the cutter 613 vibrates up and down, cutting the elastic material. When the cutting angle needs to be adjusted, the first motor 614 is activated, and the first synchronous pulley 616, the second synchronous pulley 617, and the belt drive the cutter 613 to the desired angle.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, it is another embodiment of the cutting tool head 61, which includes a first rotating seat 611, on which is provided a tool 613 that is driven by a pneumatic element 618 to vibrate up and down for cutting, and the first rotating seat 611 is also provided with a first motor 614 that drives the tool 613 to rotate.

[0068] The cutter 613 is rotatably mounted on the first rotary seat 611. A pneumatic element 618 is connected to the cutter 613. A floating pressure sleeve 615 is provided at the upper end of the cutter 613. A first synchronous pulley 616 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 614. The cutter 613 is fixedly connected to a second synchronous pulley 617, which is driven by a belt. When the pneumatic element 618 is activated, the cutter 613 vibrates up and down, cutting the elastic material. When the cutting angle needs to be adjusted, the first motor 614 is activated, and the first synchronous pulley 616, the second synchronous pulley 617, and the belt drive the cutter 613 to the desired angle.

[0069] like Figure 5 、 Figure 14As shown, the gripper tool head 62 includes a second rotary seat 621 , on which a pin working portion 10 driven to rotate by a second motor 622 is provided;

[0070] The pin working part 10 includes a discharge cylinder 623, a pin plate 624, a pin bracket 625, a pressing cylinder 626 and a pressing plate 627. The pin bracket 625 is connected to the second motor 622. The discharge cylinder 623 is arranged on the inner side of the pin bracket 625. The pin plate 624 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the discharge cylinder 623. The pressing cylinder 626 is arranged on the pin bracket 625. A plurality of pins 628 are arranged at the bottom of the pin plate 624. The bottom of the pin bracket 625 is provided with a pin 628 for facilitating the extension and retraction of the pins. The avoidance position 6251, the pressing plate 627 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 626, and the pressing plate 627 is provided with a through hole 6271 adapted to the bottom size of the pin bracket 625, so that the pressing plate 627 is driven by the pressing cylinder 626 to rise to the top of the bottom of the pin bracket 625 or fall to the bottom of the pin bracket 625, so that the pressing plate 627 can flatten the elastic material before taking the material; when the pin drives the cut elastic material to rise, the pressing plate can also press on the remaining elastic material to prevent it from rising with it.

[0071] In this embodiment, a motor mounting seat 629 is provided on the top of the second rotating seat 621, and the second motor 622 is set on the motor mounting seat 629. The output shaft of the second motor 622 is set downward, and the output shaft of the second motor 622 is connected to the working part of the pin 628 through the coupling 9.

[0072] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the discharge cylinder 623 is fixed on the positioning flange 6210 through the pin bracket 625. The positioning flange 6210 can rotate in the second rotating seat 621. The top of the positioning flange 6210 is provided with an orientation groove 6211, and the rotating shaft connected by the coupling 9 is provided with an orientation protrusion corresponding to the orientation groove 6211, so that when the second motor 622 rotates, it can drive the working part of the pin 628 to rotate.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pressing cylinder 626 is fixed to one side of the pin bracket 625, and the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 626 is set downward. A guide sleeve 6212 is provided on the other side of the pin bracket 625, and a guide rod 6213 that cooperates with the guide sleeve 6212 is provided on the pressing plate 627.

[0074] Thus, when the gripper is working, the second motor 622 drives the working part of the pin 628 to rotate and deflect to a set angle, making it convenient to grab or place the sponge strip 71 from the elastic material cutting station 2 to the position to be pasted on the flat plate die 7.

[0075] When grabbing the sponge strip 71, the gripper tool head 62 is driven by the X / Y-axis feed mechanism 4 to move above the cut sponge strip 71, and the second motor 622 drives the pin working part 10 to rotate so that the pin 628 is located directly above the cut sponge strip 71. The Z-axis feed mechanism 5 drives the gripper tool head 62 downward until the pin 628 is inserted into the sponge strip 71. The Z-axis feed mechanism 5 drives the gripper tool head 62 upward, thereby bringing the cut sponge strip 71 away from the elastic material cutting station 2.

[0076] When grabbing the sponge, the discharge cylinder 623 can also drive the pin bracket 625 to move downward, so that the pin 628 is inserted into the sponge strip 71.

[0077] It should be noted that when the sponge strip 71 is provided with adhesive backing, the friction force between the pins 628 and the sponge strip 71 is greater than the adhesive force of the adhesive backing.

[0078] In this embodiment, the length of the pins 628 exposed from the pressing plate 627 is not less than the thickness of the sponge strip 71 .

[0079] When the sponge strip 71 is lowered, the X / Y-axis feed mechanism 4 drives the gripper tool head 62 to the position above the strip to be applied on the flat die 7 at the placement station 3. The second motor 622 rotates the pin working unit 10, positioning the pin 628 directly above the position to be applied on the flat die 7. The Z-axis feed mechanism 5 then moves the gripper tool head 62 downward until the sponge strip 71 is positioned. The discharge cylinder 623 then raises the pin 628, retracting it into the pin holder 625 and separating it from the sponge strip 71. The Z-axis feed mechanism 5 then lowers the pin holder 625, pressing the bottom of the pin holder 625 against the flat die 7. The gripper tool head 62 then rises, completing the application. If the sponge strip 71 does not have an adhesive backing, the glue dispensing tool head must first apply glue to the position to be applied.

[0080] like Figure 11 As shown, the Z-axis feed mechanism 5 includes a Z-axis slide seat 51, a Z-axis slide plate 52, and a Z-axis drive motor 53. The Z-axis slide seat 51 is fixed on the X / Y-axis feed mechanism 4, and the Z-axis drive motor 53 and the Z-axis slide plate 52 are arranged on the Z-axis slide seat 51. The Z-axis slide seat 51 and the Z-axis slide plate 52 are slidably fitted together, and the Z-axis drive motor 53 and the Z-axis slide plate 52 are connected by a screw unit 54.

[0081] It also includes a gripper tool head lifting mechanism 55, which is arranged on the Z-axis feeding mechanism 5, and the gripper tool head 62 is arranged on the slide plate of the gripper tool head lifting mechanism.

[0082] like Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a dispensing tool head 63, which is movably arranged on the Z-axis feeding mechanism 5, and is used for dispensing glue to fit the elastic material with the flat die.

[0083] The dispensing tool head 63 includes a valve body 631, a glue injection cup 632 connected to the valve body 631 through a pipe 634, and the valve body 631 is provided with a regulating valve 635, an air outlet connector 636 and an air return connector 637. The bottom of the valve body 631 is connected to a glue outlet nozzle 639 through a connecting nut 638.

[0084] When the sponge strip 71 is not provided with adhesive backing, the adhesive dispensing head is first used to dispense adhesive on the position of the flat plate die 7 where the adhesive strip is to be pasted, so as to facilitate the sponge strip 71 to be adhered to the flat plate die 7.

[0085] In this embodiment, a dispensing tool head lifting mechanism 56 may also be included. The dispensing tool head lifting mechanism is arranged on the Z-axis feeding mechanism 5 , and the dispensing tool head 63 is arranged on the slide plate of the dispensing tool head lifting mechanism 56 .

[0086] Therefore, the height positions of the gripper tool head 62 and the dispensing tool head 63 can be adjusted in the Z-axis direction.

[0087] The number of the pin 628 is at least one;

[0088] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the number of pins 628 can be 2, 3, or 4.

[0089] The pin 628 is in the shape of a needle, a sheet, a square, a diamond, a triangle, a semicircle or an ellipse, and the end of the pin is tapered.

[0090] In this embodiment, the pins 628 may be provided on one or more modules, and the modules are detachably provided on the pin board 624 .

[0091] like Figure 13 As shown, when the number of the pins 628 is greater than or equal to two, at least one of the pins 628 is arranged to be movable left and right. For example, the module or pin board 624 is provided with a slot 6215, and the head end of the pin 628 is provided with a block 6216, which is movably positioned in the slot 6215. This allows the distance between the two pins 628 to be adjusted as needed to accommodate sponge strips of different sizes and shapes.

[0092] In other embodiments, the pins 628 are fixed. The pins 628 and the pin board 624 can also be fixedly connected, and the distance between the pins 628 cannot be adjusted. The pins 628 are directly fixed to the bottom of the pin board 624 or fixed to the module, or fixed to other connectors connected to the pin board 624.

[0093] When the pin 628 is in the shape of a sheet, square, diamond, triangle, semicircle or ellipse, even if there is only one pin 628, it can well drive the sponge strip 71 to adjust the angle, as long as the friction between the pin 628 and the sponge strip 71 is greater than the adhesive force of the sponge strip 71.

[0094] Apply the aforementioned flat plate die automatic stripping machine to automatically strip the flat plate die 7;

[0095] It includes the following steps:

[0096] Step 1: Place the elastic material and the elastic die to be applied on the corresponding station of the machine 1;

[0097] Step 2: Through the cooperation of the X / Y axis feed mechanism 4 and the Z axis feed mechanism 5, the cutting tool head 61 moves to the elastic material cutting station 2 and cuts elastic material strips of a preset shape and size;

[0098] Step 3: If the elastic material is not provided with adhesive backing, the adhesive dispensing tool head 63 is used to dispense adhesive at the position where the strip is to be attached on the flat die 7;

[0099] Step 4: The gripper tool head 62 grabs the elastic material strip from the elastic material cutting station 2 and moves it to the position where the flat die 7 is placed in the station 3 where the strip is to be attached;

[0100] The gripper tool head 62 descends, places the elastic material at the corresponding position on the flat die 7 and presses it tightly;

[0101] The gripper tool head 62 rises to complete the automatic stripping operation of the flat plate die 7.

[0102] In step 4, when grabbing the elastic material strip, the gripper tool head 62 moves to the top of the elastic material strip, the gripper tool head 62 descends, the discharge cylinder 623 drives the pin 628 downward, the pin 628 is inserted into the elastic material strip, the gripper tool head 62 ascends, and the elastic material strip leaves the elastic material cutting station 2;

[0103] In this embodiment, before grabbing the elastic material strip, the press cylinder 626 can also drive the press plate 627 downward to flatten the elastic material. Then, the discharge cylinder 623 drives the pin 628 downward, inserting the pin 628 into the elastic material strip. The discharge cylinder 623 then drives the pin 628 upward, and the elastic material strip moves upward with it. The Z-axis feed mechanism 5 moves upward, and then the press cylinder 626 drives the press plate 627 upward.
