Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heat insulation board production technology, and in particular to a robot, heat insulation board manufacturing system and method for transferring heat insulation boards. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce the hazards caused by spontaneous combustion of lithium batteries, heat insulation plates are installed inside lithium battery cells. These heat insulation plates can isolate adjacent cells, reduce heat exchange between the battery and the surrounding environment, and also play a role in blocking and delaying the spontaneous combustion of a cell, thus reducing the risk of lithium battery explosion.

[0003] On the production line of heat insulation boards, robotic arms are usually used to pick up the layered structures at different workstations, and then stack these layered structures in sequence on the pressing station, where the pressing station presses these layered structures into heat insulation boards.

[0004] In the above process, the robot can only pick up one layer of the heat insulation board at a time, and the heat insulation board needs to be removed from the press station and placed in the product station before the next heat insulation board can be placed and pressed. This results in a long picking process for the robot and a long production cycle for the heat insulation board. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to at least address the technical problem in the prior art where the entire picking process of the robotic arm is lengthy, greatly extending the manufacturing cycle of heat insulation panels. To this end, this application proposes a robot for transferring heat insulation panels, a heat insulation panel manufacturing system, and a method.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a robot for transferring a heat insulation plate, the heat insulation plate comprising: a first encapsulation layer, a second encapsulation layer, a frame, and a heat insulation layer, the heat insulation layer being disposed in the frame and adapted to be sandwiched between the first encapsulation layer and the second encapsulation layer, the area of ​​the first encapsulation layer and the area of ​​the second encapsulation layer being larger than the area of ​​the heat insulation layer.

[0007] The robot includes: a robotic arm, a rotating frame, a first suction plate, and a second suction plate;

[0008] The rotating frame is mounted on the robotic arm and can rotate in a first direction;

[0009] The first suction plate is installed at one end of the rotating frame and is used to adsorb the heat insulation plate;

[0010] The second suction plate is installed at the other end of the rotating frame and can rotate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second suction plate comprises a first suction surface, a second suction surface and a third suction surface. The first suction surface is located at the opposite side of the second suction surface and the third suction surface. The second suction surface is located above the third suction surface.

[0011] The first suction surface is used for adsorbing the first packaging layer. The second suction surface is used for adsorbing at least one of the glue frame and the heat insulation layer. The third suction surface is used for adsorbing the part of the second packaging layer protruding from the glue frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, on the one hand, the second suction plate adsorbs each layer structure of the heat insulation plate and is uniformly placed in the pressing station, thereby saving the time of the mechanical arm going back and forth between the pressing station and other stations, and making the entire pickup work process of the mechanical hand more simple. On the other hand, the pressing of the layer structure of the previous heat insulation plate and the adsorption of the layer structure of the next heat insulation plate can be performed synchronously, thereby reducing the production cycle of the heat insulation plate and improving the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present application, a clamping piece is installed around the second suction plate. The clamping piece is located above the third suction surface and is adapted to move towards the glue frame and press the glue frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the second suction surface of the second suction plate adsorbs at least one of the glue frame and the heat insulation layer. Then the clamping piece on the second suction plate moves towards the glue frame and presses the glue frame, thereby eliminating the gap between the inner wall of the glue frame and the side wall of the heat insulation layer, so as to facilitate the better bonding of the glue frame and the heat insulation layer.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present application, a guide groove is formed in the second suction plate. A guide column is provided on the clamping piece and cooperates with the guide groove. A spring is clamped between the guide column and the guide groove. A first air port is provided in the guide groove. A second air port is provided on the second suction surface. An air extraction device is installed on the second suction plate and communicates with the first air port and the second air port.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the action of the second suction surface of the second suction plate adsorbing the glue frame and the heat insulation layer and the action of the clamping piece pressing the glue frame can be realized simultaneously by the air extraction device, which is lower in design cost.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present application, the clamping piece comprises a first section and a second section connected in sequence.

[0018] When the first section is in contact with the side surface of the second suction plate, the second section presses the glue frame.

[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, the first section of the clamping piece can be in abutment with the side surface of the second suction plate, so that the extrusion force of the second section of the clamping piece on the rubber frame can be controlled.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present application, a telescopic piece is mounted on the first suction plate, and a partition plate is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic piece, and a through hole for conducting with the suction port of the first suction plate is arranged on the partition plate, and the partition plate is suitable for being attached to the first suction plate or suitable for being separated from the first suction plate.

[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, when the partition plate is attached to the first suction plate, the first suction plate can adsorb the heat insulation plate through the through hole of the partition plate; when it is needed to put down the heat insulation plate, the first suction plate can separate the partition plate from the first suction plate through the telescopic piece, and based on the action of inertia, the heat insulation plate can be smoothly separated from the partition plate.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present application, the partition plate for adsorbing one side of the heat insulation plate is provided with an anti-sticking layer.

[0023] By adopting the technical scheme, the anti-sticking layer is used to prevent the heat insulation plate from being adhered to the partition plate.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present application, the number of the first suction plates and the second suction plates is multiple, and the first suction plate and the corresponding second suction plate are in the same straight line.

[0025] Alternatively, the first suction plate and the corresponding second suction plate are adjacent.

[0026] By adopting the technical scheme, by increasing the number of the first suction plates and the second suction plates, each second suction plate on the rotating frame can adsorb each layer structure of the heat insulation plate, and each layer structure of the heat insulation plate can be placed on the pressing station; similarly, each first suction plate on the rotating frame can also adsorb the heat insulation plate formed by pressing, so as to further improve the manufacturing efficiency of the heat insulation plate.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present application provides a heat insulation plate manufacturing system, comprising:

[0028] The robot, the assembly station, the film stripping station, the pressing station and the product station in any of the above embodiments;

[0029] The assembly station is used for placing the rubber frame and the heat insulation layer in the rubber frame.

[0030] The film stripping station is used for placing the first packaging layer and the second packaging layer.

[0031] The pressing station is used for pressing the first packaging layer, the rubber frame, the heat insulation layer and the second packaging layer to form the heat insulation plate.

[0032] The product station is used for placing the heat insulation plate.

[0033] The assembling station, the film stripping station, the pressing station and the product station are arranged around the robot.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembling station, the film stripping station, the pressing station and the product station are arranged around the robot, so that the robot can move between the above stations more quickly, and the heat insulation plate or each layer structure of the heat insulation plate can be efficiently transmitted between the above stations.

[0035] In a third aspect, the application provides a heat insulation plate manufacturing method, comprising:

[0036] The heat insulation layer is adhered in the rubber frame at the assembling station;

[0037] The rubber frame and the heat insulation layer are adsorbed by the second adsorption surface of the robot;

[0038] The first packaging layer is stripped at the film stripping station, and the first packaging layer is adsorbed by the third adsorption surface of the robot;

[0039] The second packaging layer is stripped at the film stripping station, and the second packaging layer is adsorbed by the first adsorption surface of the robot;

[0040] The robot places the first packaging layer, the rubber frame, the heat insulation layer and the second packaging layer on the pressing station, and keeps the rubber frame and the heat insulation layer between the first packaging layer and the second packaging layer;

[0041] The first packaging layer, the rubber frame, the heat insulation layer and the second packaging layer are pressed to form the heat insulation plate at the pressing station, and the heat insulation plate is adsorbed by the first adsorption plate of the robot and moved to the product station.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, each layer structure of the heat insulation plate is adsorbed by the second adsorption plate and uniformly placed on the pressing station, so that the time of the mechanical arm moving back and forth between the pressing station and other stations is saved, and the entire pickup work process of the mechanical hand is more simplified.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first packaging layer, the rubber frame, the heat insulation layer and the second packaging layer are pressed to form a heat insulation plate in the pressing station, the heat insulation plate is adsorbed by the first suction plate of the robot, and the heat insulation plate is moved to the product station, comprising:

[0044] In the case that the rubber frame and the heat insulation layer are adsorbed by the second adsorption surface of the robot, the first packaging layer is adsorbed by the third adsorption surface of the robot, and the second packaging layer is adsorbed by the first adsorption surface of the robot, the heat insulation plate is adsorbed from the pressing station by the first suction plate of the robot;

[0045] The first packaging layer, the rubber frame, the heat insulation layer and the second packaging layer are placed on the pressing station, and the rubber frame and the heat insulation layer are kept between the first packaging layer and the second packaging layer;

[0046] The heat insulation plate is moved to the product station.

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing of the layer structures of the previous heat insulation plate and the adsorption of the layer structures of the next heat insulation plate are performed synchronously, and after the adsorption of the layer structures of the next heat insulation plate is completed, the pressing of the layer structures of the previous heat insulation plate is also completed, so that the production cycle of the heat insulation plate is shortened and the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate is improved.

[0048] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: on the one hand, the layer structures of the heat insulation plate are adsorbed by the second suction plate and placed uniformly on the pressing station, which saves the time of the mechanical arm moving back and forth between the pressing station and other stations, and makes the whole picking work process of the mechanical hand more simple; on the other hand, the pressing of the layer structures of the previous heat insulation plate and the adsorption of the layer structures of the next heat insulation plate can be performed synchronously, which can shorten the production cycle of the heat insulation plate and improve the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate.

[0070] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only, for the purpose of explanation, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0071] First, in order to facilitate the description of the relative position relationship and the set point of each mechanism in the present application, the implementation scenario of the embodiments of the present application is described here.

[0072] A heat insulation plate a is arranged in the lithium battery cell, which can isolate adjacent cells and reduce heat exchange between the battery and the surrounding environment, and can also play a blocking and delaying role when a certain cell is on fire.

[0073] On the production line of the heat insulation plate a, a mechanical hand is usually used to pick up the layer structure at different workstations, and sequentially stack the layer structure on the pressing workstation 40, and the pressing workstation 40 presses the layer structure into the heat insulation plate a.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heat insulation plate a includes a first packaging layer a1, a glue frame a2, a heat insulation layer a3, and a second packaging layer a4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heat insulation plate a includes a first packaging layer a1, a glue frame a2, a heat insulation layer a3, and a second packaging layer a4.

[0075] The heat insulation layer a3 is fitted in the glue frame a2, and is adapted to be clamped between the first packaging layer a1 and the second packaging layer a4. The area of the first packaging layer a1 and the area of the second packaging layer a4 are both greater than the area of the heat insulation layer a3.

[0076] In the related art, the mechanical hand picks up the first packaging layer a1 from the film stripping workstation 30 and places it on the pressing workstation 40; the mechanical hand picks up the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 matched with the glue frame a2 from the assembly workstation 20, and then places the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 on the pressing workstation 40; the mechanical hand returns to the film stripping workstation 30 to pick up the second packaging layer a4, and then places the second packaging layer a4 on the pressing workstation 40; finally, the mechanical hand waits for the first packaging layer a1, the glue frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3, and the second packaging layer a4 to be pressed into the heat insulation plate a on the pressing workstation 40, and then picks up the heat insulation plate a and places it on the product workstation 50.

[0077] In the above process, the manipulator can only clamp one layer structure of the heat insulation plate a each time, and needs to take the heat insulation plate a from the press-fitting station 40 after the press-fitting is completed, and place it on the product station 50, so as to place and press-fit the next heat insulation plate a. Thus, the whole picking work flow of the manipulator is long, and the manufacturing period of the heat insulation plate a is long.

[0078] Reference will be made to the drawings below Figures 1-12 A robot, a heat insulation plate manufacturing system and a method for transferring heat insulation plates according to embodiments of the present application are described.

[0079] As shown in Figure 3 The robot 10 comprises a mechanical arm 100, a rotating frame 200, a first suction plate 400 and a second suction plate 300.

[0080] As shown in Figure 4 The rotating frame 200 is installed on the mechanical arm 100 and can rotate in a first direction.

[0081] In actual execution, the end of the mechanical arm 100 can be installed with a motor for driving the rotating frame 200 to rotate in the first direction.

[0082] The first suction plate 400 is installed at one end of the rotating frame 200 and is used for adsorbing the heat insulation plate a.

[0083] As shown in Figure 4 The second suction plate 300 is installed at the other end of the rotating frame 200 and can rotate in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The second suction plate 300 comprises a first adsorption surface 311, a second adsorption surface 312 and a third adsorption surface 313,

[0084] As shown in Figures 5-8 The first adsorption surface 311 is used for adsorbing the first packaging layer a1 and is located at the opposite side of the second adsorption surface 312 and the third adsorption surface 313; the second adsorption surface 312 is used for adsorbing at least one of the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3; and the third adsorption surface 313 is located below the second adsorption surface 312 and is arranged around the second adsorption surface 312, and is used for adsorbing the part of the second packaging layer a4 protruding from the rubber frame a2.

[0085] In the above embodiments of the present application, by means of the movement of the mechanical arm 100 and the rotation of the rotating frame 200 on the mechanical arm 100 in the first direction, the first suction plate 400 or the second suction plate 300 can be moved to the corresponding target station.

[0086] For example, the second suction plate 300 can be moved to other stations, and the second suction plate 300 is adapted to rotate in the second direction to adsorb each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a on the other station, the each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a comprising the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4.

[0087] Compared with the related art, the mechanical arm 100 can only pick up one layer structure of the heat insulation plate a each time, and needs to repeatedly place the layer structure on the press-fitting station 40.

[0088] The second suction plate 300 is used to adsorb each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a, and then the layer structure is uniformly placed on the press-fitting station 40, so that the control instruction of the mechanical arm 100 can be simplified, and the time of the mechanical arm 100 going back and forth between the press-fitting station 40 and other stations can be saved.

[0089] Then, the mechanical arm 100 can move the first suction plate 400 to the press-fitting station 40, adsorb the heat insulation plate a on the press-fitting station 40, and then rotate the rotating frame 200 in the first direction, so that the first packaging layer a1, the glue frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 are placed on the press-fitting station 40 by the second suction plate 300, and the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 are kept between the first packaging layer a1 and the second packaging layer a4.

[0090] Compared with the related art, since the mechanical arm 100 can only pick up the heat insulation plate a or one layer structure of the heat insulation plate a each time, that is, the mechanical arm 100 needs to take down the heat insulation plate a from the press-fitting station 40 after the press-fitting station 40 is press-fitted, and then place the heat insulation plate a on the product station 50, so that the placement and press-fitting of each layer structure of the next heat insulation plate a can be performed.

[0091] During the process that the press-fitting station 40 press-fits the first packaging layer a1, the glue frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4, the mechanical arm 100 can drive the second suction plate 300 to move to other stations again, and adsorb each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a on the other stations, so as to prepare for the production of the next heat insulation plate a.

[0092] That is, the press-fitting of each layer structure of the previous heat insulation plate a and the adsorption of each layer structure of the next heat insulation plate a are performed synchronously, so that the production period of the heat insulation plate a can be shortened, and the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate a can be improved.

[0093] In summary, the robot 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages. On the one hand, each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a is adsorbed by the second suction plate 300, and then uniformly placed on the press-fitting station 40, so that the time of the mechanical arm 100 going back and forth between the press-fitting station 40 and other stations is saved, and the whole pickup work process of the mechanical arm is more simplified. On the other hand, the press-fitting of each layer structure of the previous heat insulation plate a and the adsorption of each layer structure of the next heat insulation plate a can be performed synchronously, so that the production period of the heat insulation plate a can be shortened, and the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate a can be improved.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 1, the robot 10 comprises a press-fitting station 40, a product station 50, a first suction plate 400, a rotating frame 200 and a second suction plate 300. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the second suction plate 300 is equipped with a plurality of first suction cups 310, a plurality of second suction cups 320 and a plurality of third suction cups 330.

[0095] The plane formed by the adsorption ends of the multiple first suction cups 310 is the first adsorption surface 311 of the second suction plate 300.

[0096] The plane formed by the adsorption ends of the multiple second suction cups 320 is the second adsorption surface 312 of the second suction plate 300.

[0097] The plane formed by the adsorption ends of the multiple third suction cups 330 is the third adsorption surface 313 of the second suction plate 300.

[0098] In some embodiments, there are multiple first suction plates 400 and second suction plates 300, and the first suction plate 400 and the corresponding second suction plate 300 are on the same straight line; or, the first suction plate 400 and the corresponding second suction plate 300 are adjacent to each other.

[0099] In this embodiment, by increasing the number of first suction plates 400 and second suction plates 300, each second suction plate 300 on the rotating frame 200 can adsorb each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a, and can place each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a on the pressing station 40.

[0100] Similarly, each of the first suction plates 400 on the rotating frame 200 can also pick up the press-fitted heat insulation plate a, thereby further improving the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate a.

[0101] It should be noted that the frame a2 and the insulation layer a3 are assembled at the assembly station 20, and the inner sidewall of the frame a2 can be bonded to the insulation layer a3 with adhesive. However, some inner sidewalls of the frame a2 may not be completely bonded to some sidewalls of the insulation layer a3 with adhesive, that is, there may be gaps between them.

[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a clamping piece 340 is installed on the second suction plate 300 and arranged around the second suction plate 300. The clamping piece 340 is located above the third suction surface 313 and is adapted to move toward the glue frame a2 and squeeze the glue frame a2.

[0103] In this embodiment, the second adsorption surface 312 of the second suction plate 300 adsorbs at least one of the adhesive frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3. Then, the clip 340 on the second suction plate 300 moves toward the adhesive frame a2 and squeezes the adhesive frame a2, thereby eliminating the gap between the inner wall of the adhesive frame a2 and the side wall of the heat insulation layer a3, so that the adhesive frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 can be better bonded together.

[0104] The second suction plate 300 can be at least one of the following structures:

[0105] As shown in the first aspect, the second suction plate 300 is provided with a first power source 350 and a second power source 360. Figures 6-8

[0106] The first power source 350 is in transmission connection with the two clamping pieces 340 on the opposite side of the second suction plate 300, so as to drive the two clamping pieces 340 to move towards the rubber frame a2 and press the rubber frame a2.

[0107] The second power source 360 is in transmission connection with the two clamping pieces 340 on the other opposite side of the second suction plate 300, so as to drive the two clamping pieces 340 to move synchronously towards the rubber frame a2 and press the rubber frame a2.

[0108] In this embodiment, the first power source 350 and the second power source 360 include but are not limited to electric push rods or air cylinders.

[0109] As shown in the second aspect, the second suction plate 300 is provided with a guide groove 370, the clamping piece 340 is provided with a guide column 343 matched with the guide groove 370, the guide groove 370 is provided with a first air port 371, the second suction surface 312 is provided with a second air port 3121, and the second suction plate 300 is provided with a suction device in communication with the first air port 371 and the second air port 3121. Figure 9

[0110] In this embodiment, when the second suction surface 312 of the second suction plate 300 needs to adsorb at least one of the rubber frame a2 and the thermal insulation layer a3, the suction device simultaneously sucks air from the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 and the second air port 3121 of the second suction surface 312, and the suction device includes but is not limited to an air pump.

[0111] In this process, the second air port 3121 of the second suction surface 312 adsorbs the rubber frame a2 and the thermal insulation layer a3 on the second suction surface 312, the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 moves the guide column 343 of the clamping piece 340 along the guide groove 370, and finally the clamping piece 340 presses the rubber frame a2.

[0112] That is, through the suction device, the action of adsorbing the rubber frame a2 and the thermal insulation layer a3 by the second suction surface 312 of the second suction plate 300 and the action of pressing the rubber frame a2 by the clamping piece 340 can be simultaneously realized, which is lower in cost compared with the first aspect.

[0113] In actual execution, a spring is clamped between the guide column 343 and the guide groove 370, and a three-way electromagnetic valve is installed at the suction port of the suction device.

[0114] ​​When the second suction plate 300 needs to adsorb the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3, the air extraction device can be connected to the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 and the second air port 3121 of the second adsorption surface 312 through the three-way solenoid valve. During this process, the guide post 343 of the clamp 340 moves along the guide groove 370 and gradually squeezes the spring, and the clamp 340 squeezes the glue frame a2.

[0115] When the second suction plate 300 is needed to place the plastic frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3, the ambient gas is connected to the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 and the second air port 3121 of the second adsorption surface 312 through the three-way solenoid valve. During this process, the spring gradually releases its elastic force, causing the clamp 340 to separate from the plastic frame a2.

[0116] That is, by means of spring and three-way solenoid valve, after the clamp 340 squeezes the rubber frame a2, it is suitable to separate the clamp 340 from the rubber frame a2.

[0117] It should be noted that the air extraction device can simultaneously extract air from the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 and the second air port 3121 of the second adsorption surface 312, or it can first extract air from the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370 and then extract air from the second air port 3121 of the second adsorption surface 312.

[0118] For example, in actual implementation, a solenoid valve is installed at the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370. This solenoid valve is used to close or open the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370.

[0119] When the suction device draws air from the second air port 3121 of the second adsorption surface 312, the solenoid valve closes the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370. After the second adsorption surface 312 adsorbs the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3, the solenoid valve opens the first air port 371 of the guide groove 370. The guide post 343 of the clamp 340 moves along the guide groove 370 and gradually squeezes the spring, and the clamp 340 squeezes the rubber frame a2.

[0120] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the clip 340 includes a first segment 341 and a second segment 342 connected in sequence.

[0121] When the first segment 341 comes into contact with the side of the second suction plate 300, the second segment 342 squeezes the rubber frame a2.

[0122] In this embodiment, by having the first segment 341 of the clamping piece 340 abut against the side of the second suction plate 300, the magnitude of the squeezing force of the second segment 342 of the clamping piece 340 on the glue frame a2 can be controlled.

[0123] It should be noted that the second section 342 of the clip 340 should press against the frame a2 to maintain the adhesion between the inner wall of the frame a2 and the side wall of the insulation layer a3.

[0124] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a telescopic member 410 is installed on the first suction plate 400, and a partition 420 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic member 410. The partition 420 is provided with a through hole for communicating with the suction port of the second suction plate 300. The partition 420 is adapted to be in contact with the second suction plate 300 or adapted to be separated from the second suction plate 300. The telescopic member 410 includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0125] It should be noted that after the first encapsulation layer a1, the frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3, and the second encapsulation layer a4 are press-fitted into heat insulation plate a at press-fitting station 40, the heat insulation plate a becomes quite sticky after being heated.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the partition 420 is attached to the first suction plate 400, the first suction plate 400 adsorbs the heat insulation plate a through the through hole of the partition 420; when the heat insulation plate a needs to be put down, the first suction plate 400 separates the partition 420 from it through the telescopic member 410. Based on the effect of inertia, the heat insulation plate a can be smoothly detached from the partition 420.

[0127] In actual implementation, the side of the partition 420 used to adsorb the heat insulation board a has an anti-stick layer.

[0128] In actual implementation, the first encapsulation layer a1 and the second encapsulation layer a4 can be thermosetting films, the frame a2 can be a flame-retardant silicone frame a2, and the heat insulation layer a3 can be aerogel felt.

[0129] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the robotic arm 100 includes a first arm 110, a second arm 120, a third arm 130, and a base 140.

[0130] A first arm 110 is rotatably mounted on the base 140. A second arm 120 is rotatably mounted on the end of the first arm 110 away from the base 140. A third arm 130 is rotatably mounted on the end of the second arm 120 away from the first arm 110. A rotating frame 200 is rotatably mounted on the end of the third arm 130 away from the second arm 120.

[0131] In this embodiment, the first arm 110 can rotate on the base 140, giving the robotic arm 100 a degree of freedom for horizontal rotation. The second arm 120 can rotate on the first arm 110, and the third arm 130 can rotate on the second arm 120, giving the robotic arm 100 a degree of freedom for pitch rotation.

[0132] Secondly, this application also proposes a heat insulation panel manufacturing system 1.

[0133] like Figure 12As shown, the heat insulation plate manufacturing system 1 comprises the robot 10, the assembling station 20, the film stripping station 30, the pressing station 40 and the product station 50.

[0134] The assembling station 20 is used to place the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 in the rubber frame a2.

[0135] The film stripping station 30 is used to place the first packaging layer a1 and the second packaging layer a4.

[0136] The pressing station 40 is used to press the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 to form the heat insulation plate a.

[0137] The product station 50 is used to place the heat insulation plate a.

[0138] The assembling station 20, the film stripping station 30, the pressing station 40 and the product station 50 are arranged around the robot 10.

[0139] According to the heat insulation plate manufacturing system 1 of the present application, the assembling station 20, the film stripping station 30, the pressing station 40 and the product station 50 are arranged around the robot 10, which can make the robot 10 move faster between the above stations, so that the heat insulation plate a or each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a can be efficiently transferred between the above stations.

[0140] For example, the mechanical arm 100 of the robot 10 can move the second suction plate 300 to the film stripping station 30, and the first suction surface 311 of the second suction plate 300 can suck the first packaging layer a1.

[0141] The second suction plate 300 is moved to the assembling station 20, and the second suction plate 300 is rotated in the second direction to suck the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 by the second suction surface 312 of the second suction plate 300.

[0142] The second suction plate 300 is moved to the film stripping station 30 again, and the third suction surface 313 of the second suction plate 300 can suck the second packaging layer a4.

[0143] The first suction plate 400 is moved to the pressing station 40, and the first suction plate 400 can suck the heat insulation plate a formed by pressing in the pressing station 40, and then the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 are placed on the pressing station 40 by rotating the rotating frame 200 in the first direction.

[0144] Finally, the first suction plate 400 is moved to the product station 50, and the heat insulation plate a formed by pressing in the pressing station 40 is placed on the product station 50.

[0145] In a third aspect, the application further provides a method for manufacturing the heat insulation plate, which is applied to the heat insulation plate manufacturing system 1 and includes the following steps: step 510, step 520, step 530, step 540, step 550 and step 560.

[0146] In step 510, the heat insulation layer a3 is adhered to the rubber frame a2 at the assembly station 20.

[0147] In step 520, the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 are adsorbed by the second adsorption surface 312 of the robot 10.

[0148] In step 530, the first packaging layer a1 is adsorbed by the third adsorption surface 313 of the robot 10 after being peeled off at the film peeling station 30.

[0149] In step 540, the second packaging layer a4 is adsorbed by the first adsorption surface 311 of the robot 10 after being peeled off at the film peeling station 30.

[0150] In step 550, the robot 10 places the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 on the pressing station 40, and keeps the rubber frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 between the first packaging layer a1 and the second packaging layer a4.

[0151] In step 560, the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 are pressed to form the heat insulation plate a at the pressing station 40, and the heat insulation plate a is adsorbed by the first adsorption plate 400 of the robot 10 and moved to the product station 50.

[0152] According to the method for manufacturing the heat insulation plate, each layer structure of the heat insulation plate a is adsorbed by the second adsorption plate 300 and placed on the pressing station 40, which saves the time of the mechanical arm 100 moving between the pressing station 40 and other stations, and makes the whole pickup work process of the mechanical hand more simple.

[0153] In some embodiments, in step 560, the first packaging layer a1, the rubber frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second packaging layer a4 are pressed to form the heat insulation plate a at the pressing station 40, and the heat insulation plate a is adsorbed by the first adsorption plate 400 of the robot 10 and moved to the product station 50, which includes:

[0154] In step 561, the first packaging layer a1 is adsorbed by the third adsorption surface 313 of the robot 10, and the second packaging layer a4 is adsorbed by the first adsorption surface 311 of the robot 10, and the heat insulation plate a is adsorbed by the first adsorption plate 400 of the robot 10 from the pressing station 40.

[0155] In this step, during the process of pressing the first encapsulation layer a1, the glue frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second encapsulation layer a4 to form the heat insulation plate a in the pressing station 40, the second suction plate 300 of the robot 10 moves to the film stripping station 30, the first suction surface 311 of the second suction plate 300 adsorbs the first encapsulation layer a1, the second suction plate 300 of the robot 10 moves to the assembling station 20, the second suction surface 312 of the second suction plate 300 adsorbs the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 at the same time, and the second suction plate 300 of the robot 10 moves to the film stripping station 30 again, and the third suction surface 313 of the second suction plate 300 adsorbs the second encapsulation layer a4.

[0156] That is, the pressing of the layer structure of the previous heat insulation plate a and the adsorption of the layer structure of the next heat insulation plate a are performed synchronously, and after the adsorption of the layer structure of the next heat insulation plate a is completed, the pressing of the layer structure of the previous heat insulation plate a is also completed, so that the production period of the heat insulation plate a can be shortened and the production efficiency of the heat insulation plate a can be improved.

[0157] Step 562, the first encapsulation layer a1, the glue frame a2, the heat insulation layer a3 and the second encapsulation layer a4 are placed on the pressing station 40, and the glue frame a2 and the heat insulation layer a3 are kept between the first encapsulation layer a1 and the second encapsulation layer a4.

[0158] Step 563, the heat insulation layer a3 is moved to the product station 50.

[0159] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
