The application of the die cutting and shaping mechanism ensures the flatness and beauty of the plate edge, improving the overall quality of the product. In summary, the scheme realizes the efficiency, precision and intelligence of plate processing, which is of great significance to improve the competitiveness of the plate processing industry.

[0065] Step S2, side slotting: the first conveying mechanism 2 conveys the plate material with completed micro-groove processing to the side slotting mechanism 4, which processes a lateral groove on the side of the plate material, and then the first conveying mechanism 2 conveys the plate material to the second conveying mechanism 5, when the plate material enters the second conveying mechanism 5, the blocks 52 of the horizontal conveying belt 51 are matched with the lateral groove for transmission, and the plate material is transmitted on the horizontal conveying belt 51 under the action of the push block 53;

[0066] Step S3, surface cleaning: when the plate material is conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 5, it passes through the cleaning mechanism 6, which cleans the surface of the plate material;

[0067] Step S4, composite connection: after surface cleaning, the adhesive film is discharged to the surface of the plate material through the adhesive film discharge assembly 71, at this time, the film material is flattened by rolling, and hot air is blown to the film material under the action of the hot air assembly 73, so that the film material is hot-melt softened, the film material is BOPE film, and one side is compounded with a fiber layer, when the film material is hot-melted, the fiber layer is adhered to the surface of the plate material, the micro-groove is filled after the film material is hot-melted, and then enters the rolling assembly 75, at this time, the skin discharge assembly 72 winds the skin to the rolling mechanism, and the skin is rolled and adhered with the hot-melted film material, after the rolling and adhering are completed, the excess skin is cut off by the cutting assembly 74;

[0068] Step S5, die cutting and shaping: after the skin rolling and adhering are completed, the second conveying mechanism 5 conveys the plate material to the die cutting and shaping mechanism 8, which die cuts and shapes the edge of the plate material after the skin is adhered.

[0069] The plate automatic processing method realizes the full-automatic process from plate feeding to die cutting and shaping, significantly improving the production efficiency and processing precision. First, the laser etching mechanism 3 accurately forms a micro-groove on the surface of the plate, enhancing the bonding force of the subsequent composite layer. The side slotting and special block 52 cooperate with the transmission design to ensure the stability and accurate positioning of the plate during conveying. The application of the cleaning mechanism 6 effectively removes impurities on the surface of the plate, laying a solid foundation for high-quality composite connection. In the composite connection stage, BOPE film combined with fiber layer is used, through hot melting and rolling technology, not only realizing the close adhesion of the film material and the plate, but also cleverly filling the micro-groove, enhancing the structural strength and aesthetics. At the same time, the rolling and adhering of the skin further improves the appearance quality and durability of the product. The precise operation of the cutting assembly 74 avoids material waste and ensures the accuracy of the finished product size. The application of the die cutting and shaping mechanism 8 ensures the flatness and beauty of the edge of the plate, improving the overall quality of the product. In summary, this scheme realizes the efficiency, precision and intelligence of plate processing, which is of great significance to improving the competitiveness of the plate processing industry.
