Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal film technology, and in particular to a transfer and transportation mechanism for metal film products. Background Technology
[0002] The metal film product is in roll form, then laser-cut into rectangles of the required length. The minimum thickness of the metal film product is only 0.02mm, and there is a need to maintain tension and prevent wrinkles during transplantation. Currently, there are two methods for transplanting metal film products:
[0003] Technical Solution 1: Manual Handling: Manual handling is carried out using vacuum suction cup fixtures. The position of the vacuum suction cups is adjusted according to the product size. However, product damage is likely to occur during manual handling, and the handling efficiency is greatly affected by the operator's experience and is very unstable. In addition, manual handling is troublesome when changing product types.
[0004] Technical Solution 2: Conveyor Belt Conveying: Using a conveyor belt or vacuum conveyor line for handling, the entire conveyor belt travels at a consistent speed. The products are transported flat on the conveyor belt. During this process, the products can only be clamped and cannot be tensioned, which may result in wrinkles or wear on the working parts. In addition, the conveyor belt generates dust during daily operation, which is unacceptable for some metal film products with high cleanliness requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a metal film product transfer and transportation mechanism that enables real-time tensioning of the product without damaging the functional parts of the product, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art mentioned above.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a transfer and transportation mechanism for metal film products, comprising...

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] 1.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.
[0033] like Figures 1-6 The illustrated transfer and transport mechanism for metal film products is used for laser cutting of roll materials, including...
[0034] The flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1 enables independent control of the running speed of a single mover 5, and the movers 5 do not interfere with each other. It includes a conveying component 3. In the figure, the front end of the conveying component 3 is the input end, and the rear end of the conveying component 3 is the output end. Several movers 5 are provided on the edge of the conveying component 3. Each mover 5 is moving and each mover 5 operates relatively independently. One side of the conveying component 3 is the working side, and the other side of the conveying component 3 is the non-working side. Adjacent movers 5 on the working side of the conveying component 3 form a transplanting group.
[0035] A suction cup fixture 6 is used to be installed on the mover 5 in the flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1. It includes a mounting plate 9, on which an electric vacuum generator 7 and a special product suction cup fixture 8 are installed. The electric vacuum generator 7 generates a vacuum when powered. The special product suction cup fixture 8 can realize the vacuum on and off of the suction cup through a solenoid valve group 14. At the same time, the vacuum limit signal generated by the electric vacuum generator 14 is controlled by the solenoid valve group 14 to achieve precise vacuum control. The electric vacuum generator 7 is connected to the special product suction cup fixture 8. The special product suction cup fixture 8 adsorbs metal film products. The working surface of the special product suction cup fixture 8 is set away from the flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1.
[0036] By using the flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1, the electric vacuum suction cup 7, and the special product suction cup fixture 8 together, the metal film product can be tensioned in real time without damaging the functional parts of the product during transfer and transportation.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1 is mounted on the mounting frame 2. The flexible magnetic drive conveying system 1 also includes a worktable 4, which is located below the conveying component 3. An annular guide rail 10 is mounted on the upper worktable surface of the worktable 4, and the annular guide rail 10 is located below the edge of the conveying component 3.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the mover 5 is similar to a magnetic motor, with high repeatability and fast speed. The upper end of the mover 5 is clamped at the edge of the conveying assembly 3, which is used for mover control and communication. The lower end of the mover 5 is equipped with a pulley 11 that cooperates with the annular guide rail 10, thereby reducing the displacement speed of the mover 5 in the cutting state and increasing the displacement speed of the mover 5 in the non-cutting state, thus meeting the cutting requirements and improving work efficiency.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, a wireless communication module 12 and a wireless power supply module 13 are installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 9. The wireless communication module 12 is connected to the wireless power supply module 13, and the wireless power supply module 13 is used to supply power to the wireless communication module 12. A solenoid valve assembly 14 is installed at the upper end of the mounting plate 9, and the electric vacuum generator 7 is connected to the solenoid valve assembly 14.
[0040] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the special product suction cup fixture 8 includes a vacuum plate 15, which has a hollow structure. The back of the vacuum plate 15 is connected to the air outlet of the electric vacuum generator 7. A wide suction cup 16 and a thin suction cup 17 are installed on the front of the vacuum plate 15. The wide suction cup 16 is located on one side of the thin suction cup 17. The wide suction cup 16 and the thin suction cup 17 are connected to the inner cavity of the vacuum plate 15. A process elongated hole is opened on the vacuum plate 15 between the wide suction cup 16 and the thin suction cup 17.
[0041] The speed of the transplanting group at the input end of the working side of the conveying component 3 is less than the speed of the transplanting group at the output end. In other words, the speeds of the two transplanting groups on the working side are not the same. This ensures both slow speed during cutting and improved work efficiency.
[0042] The speed of the moving part 5 on the working side of the conveying component 3 is less than or equal to the speed of the moving part 5 on the non-working side of the conveying component 3. The speed increase of the moving part 5 on the non-working side accelerates the return flow rate.
[0043] In the transplanting group, the transplanting speed between the two moving parts 5 is the same or there is a speed difference. That is to say, the speed of the front moving part 5 is uniform, and the speed of the rear moving part 5 is slower than that of the front moving part 5, so as to ensure that there is a relative displacement between the two moving parts 5, so as to realize the real-time tensioning of the metal film product without damaging the functional parts of the product.
[0044] The conveying assembly 3 is a loop conveying assembly, and the special product suction cup fixture 8 is spatially perpendicular to the conveying assembly 3. The length of the special product suction cup fixture 8 is equal to or greater than the width of the product to ensure the quality of the metal film product and reduce the loss rate.
[0045] Work process:
[0046] Step 1: Before processing, test the tension of the product. Control the rated speed of the mover 5 in the transfer group through the above tension setting to ensure that the metal film product is tensioned in real time and does not damage the functional parts of the product. However, the front end of the roll material is continuously fed at a relatively fast speed. But the displacement speed of the roll material cannot be too fast during cutting.
[0047] Step 2: The special product suction cup fixture 8 moves to the working side of the conveying component 3 via the mover 5. The electric vacuum generator 7 generates negative pressure, and the metal film product conveyed in the previous process is adsorbed by the special product suction cup fixture 8. At this time, the metal film product adsorbed on the special product suction cup fixture 8 is waste material, and the middle part is the product. The middle product must not have scratches or wrinkles.
[0048] Step 3: A laser cutting device is installed opposite the input end on the working side of the transplanting and transportation mechanism. When the metal film product passes through this position, the laser cutting device works to cut it.
[0049] Step 4: After the cutting is completed, the transplanting group speeds up and simultaneously drives the cut metal film product to move quickly towards the output end of the conveying component 3 (near the turning point of the conveying component 3). When it reaches the output end of the conveying component 3, the cut metal film product is conveyed to the next process through the device. Therefore, when it moves to the turning point of the conveying component 3, the suction cup fixture 6 is no longer adsorbing products or is adsorbing waste material.
[0050] Step 5: The empty suction cup fixture 6 is moved to the non-working side of the conveying component 3 by the mover 5. The mover 5 accelerates on the non-working side of the conveying component 3 to form a rapid return flow, and then waits to receive materials again, and so on.
[0051] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
