[0029] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a device for automatically plugging and unplugging an inflatable shaft 18 includes a first slide rail 1, a waiting assembly; a moving assembly and a plug-in assembly; the first slide rail 1 is provided with a waiting station 2 and a blanking station 3; the waiting station 2 is provided with the waiting assembly, and the waiting assembly is used to place a copper foil 19 with an inflatable shaft 18 inserted therein; the moving assembly is slidably fitted with the first slide rail 1, and the moving assembly takes away the copper foil 19 with the inflatable shaft 18 inserted therein from the waiting assembly and sends it to the blanking station 3; the plug-in assembly is provided on one side of the blanking station 3, and the blanking station 3 takes out the inflatable shaft 18 from the copper foil 19.

[0032] The copper foil 19 with the inflatable shaft 18 inserted is initially placed in the waiting assembly, and then moved to the unloading station 3 through the moving assembly, and the inflatable shaft 18 is pulled out through the plug-in assembly. The shaft pulling is more efficient and safer, and can significantly reduce labor intensity.

[0033] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the material waiting assembly includes a first bracket 20, which is arranged on both sides of the first slide rail 1, and the upper end of the first bracket 20 is provided with a first V-shaped groove 21 that contacts with both ends of the inflatable shaft 18.

[0034] Combine Figure 3As shown, a rotary deflation assembly is provided on one side of the first bracket 20 corresponding to the end of the inflatable shaft 18, and the rotary deflation assembly includes a docking cylinder 22, a servo motor 23, a clamping block 24 and an ejector pin 25; the docking cylinder 22 is fixed relative to the first bracket 20, and the output end of the docking cylinder 22 is fixed to the servo motor 23, and the output end of the servo motor 23 is provided with the clamping block 24, and the clamping block 24 is adapted to the end of the inflatable shaft 18, and the ejector pin 25 is provided corresponding to the side of the inflatable shaft 18, and the ejector pin 25 is fixed to the output end of the horizontal bar cylinder, and is driven by the single-rod cylinder 26 to push the air nozzle of the inflatable shaft 18. The docking cylinder 22 drives the servo motor 23 and the clamping block 24 to move toward the end of the inflatable shaft 18, so that the clamping block 24 is docked with the end of the inflatable shaft 18. Since the clamping block 24 is fixed on the output shaft of the servo motor 23, the servo motor 23 can clearly control the angle of the clamping block 24. Therefore, after the clamping block 24 is docked with the end of the inflatable shaft 18, the angle of the inflatable shaft 18, that is, the angle of the air nozzle on the side wall of the inflatable shaft 18, can be clearly known. The inflatable shaft 18 can be rotated by the servo motor 23 so that the air nozzle corresponds to the ejector pin 25. At this time, the single-rod cylinder 26 is started, so that the ejector pin 25 pushes the air nozzle, opens the air nozzle, and then deflates, in preparation for the subsequent removal of the inflatable shaft 18.

[0035] The first V-shaped groove 21 can be provided to more stably support and place the inflatable shaft 18 .

[0036] The moving assembly includes a first moving body 4 and a first lifting platform 5. The first lifting platform 5 is mounted on the upper end of the first moving body 4 via a first lifting assembly 6. Second brackets 7 are mounted on the upper end of the first lifting platform 5, corresponding to the ends of the inner tube of the copper foil 19. The second brackets 7 are provided with second V-shaped grooves. The first lifting assembly 6 utilizes an electric push rod.

[0037] The first lifting platform 5 is provided with a second linear drive assembly 15. The guide portion of the second linear drive assembly 15 is provided on the first lifting platform 5. The second linear drive assembly 15 includes at least two moving parts, of which the second bracket 7 is provided with the moving part of the second linear drive assembly 15. The distance between the two can be adjusted by moving the second bracket 7 to accommodate copper foils 19 of different lengths.

[0038] The second V-groove is lifted and lowered by the first lifting platform 5, thereby lifting the copper foil 19 with the pneumatic shaft 18 inserted therein out of the first V-groove 21, and then moving to the unloading station 3. The second V-groove supports the inner cylinder in contact with the copper foil 19, so that the subsequent pneumatic shaft 18 is not subjected to force and can be pulled out better.

[0039] The plug-in assembly is provided with a visual recognition system, which is used to identify the position of the inflatable shaft 18 on the movable assembly, so as to more accurately identify the position of the inflatable shaft 18 and pull out the inflatable shaft 18.

[0040] Combine Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in and pull-out components include a discharge table 8, a first linear drive component 9 and a shaft-pulling electric clamp 10. The discharge table 8 includes a number of rollers 11 arranged in a line. Each of the rollers 11 is thin in the middle and thick at both ends. The shaft-pulling electric clamp 10 is arranged at the moving end of the first linear drive component 9. The first linear drive component 9 is arranged in parallel with the arrangement direction of each of the rollers 11. The shaft-pulling electric clamp 10 moves with the moving end of the first linear drive component 9 to pull out the inflatable shaft 18 placed on the moving component to the discharge table 8.

[0041] The first linear drive assembly 9 drives the electric clamp 10 to clamp one end of the inflatable shaft 18, then pull it out of the copper foil 19 and support it on the roller 11. The roller 11 is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, which can well support it and make it more stable to prevent it from sliding. The electric clamp 10 can be a conventional existing one.

[0042] The first linear drive assembly 9 is located above the unloading platform 8 and further drives the shaft pulling electric clamp 10 to move.

[0043] Combine Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of buffer stations 12 are provided on both sides of the unloading platform 8. Each buffer station 12 is provided with a plurality of buffer racks for supporting the inflatable shaft 18. The upper end of the buffer rack is provided with a third V-shaped groove for contacting and supporting the inflatable shaft 18 so that the pulled inflatable shaft 18 can be placed on the buffer station 12.

[0044] Combine Figure 7 As shown, the plug-in assembly includes a transfer structure, which includes a second slide rail 13 and a second moving body 14. The second slide rail 13 is intersected and perpendicular to the unloading platform 8 and the buffer platform 12. The second slide rail 13 is slidably engaged with the second moving body 14. The upper end surface of the second moving body 14 is provided with a second lifting platform 16 via a second lifting assembly. The second lifting platform 16 is provided with a third bracket, and the third bracket is provided with a fourth V-shaped groove. The second lifting assembly also uses an electric push rod.

[0045] The second moving body 14 raises the second lifting platform 16, and the fourth V-groove supports and contacts the inflatable shaft 18, causing the inflatable shaft 18 to lift away from the rotating roller 11. The second moving body 14 then moves to the empty buffering platform 12. The second lifting platform 16 is lowered, and the inflatable shaft 18 is placed in the fifth V-groove.

[0046] Advantages of the present invention:

[0047] This solution can automatically pull out and cache the inflatable shaft 18 in the copper foil 19. The whole process is automated and does not require manual intervention. It can significantly reduce labor intensity, improve work efficiency, and be safer and more reliable.

[0048] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
