[0091] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as Figures 1-25 As shown, based on actual cutting needs, several sets of cutting components 4 can be set on the production line. For example, in this embodiment, two sets of cutting components 4 are set to achieve two cutting operations. After the first cutting, the cut product is transferred to the next process for a second cutting by the picking and adjusting mechanism 5. Furthermore, each cutting side is equipped with a corresponding finished product separation device 95, a waste material gripper 96, a waste material conveyor belt 97, and a chip removal and crushing mechanism 94 to separate the finished product from the waste material.

[0092] Specifically, the finished product separation device 95 includes an upstream vacuum plate 951 and a downstream vacuum plate 952, which are capable of opening and closing relative to each other and lateral displacement, and are located on the unloading side of the cutting assembly 4. Vacuum suction holes are respectively provided on the side of the upstream vacuum plate 951 and the downstream vacuum plate 952 that contacts the product. These vacuum suction holes are connected to an external vacuum circuit via vacuum pipelines and on / off solenoid valves. The opening and closing of the vacuum circuit allows the upstream vacuum plate 951 and the downstream vacuum plate 952 to adsorb the upper or lower side of the product sheet, thus separating the cut finished product area from the residual material and achieving the separation of the finished product and the residual material. The specific driving structure of the upstream vacuum plate 951 and the downstream vacuum plate 952 can adopt the existing driving operation mechanism for separation; the specific connection relationships and mechanism components will not be described in detail here.

[0093] Specifically, the finished product separation device 95 is equipped with a residual material gripper 96 on the feeding side. The residual material gripper 96 is driven by a displacement mechanism and is positioned on one side of the finished product separation device 95. The displacement mechanism drives the residual material gripper 96 to move relative to the finished product separation device 95. The gripper 96 clamps and breaks the residual material, and then feeds the residual material onto the residual material conveyor belt 97 below the residual material gripper 96. The residual material conveyor belt 97 then conveys the material to the crushing and waste discharge bin 944 of the chip removal and crushing mechanism 94. The material enters the crushing and waste discharge bin 944 through the inlet. A crushing power motor 941 installed on the bin drives the meshing impellers in the crushing impeller assembly 943 connected inside the bin to rotate in opposite directions, crushing the waste material. The crushed waste material falls into a waste collection device connected to the bottom of the bin 944 and is collected. The waste collection device is then emptied periodically. Dust generated during the crushing process is sucked out through a vacuum pump interface 942 connected to the top of the bin 944. The specific drive structure of the residual material gripper 96 can adopt a drive operating mechanism that realizes displacement mechanism in existing technology; the specific connection relationships and mechanism components will not be described in detail here. The specific drive structure of the residual material conveyor belt 97 can adopt a closed-loop drive operating mechanism that realizes material conveying in existing technology; the specific connection relationships and mechanism components will not be described in detail here.

[0095] The transfer slide 23 of the material transfer mechanism 2 drives the transfer suction cup frame 24 to move to the material platform of the product panel, drives the transfer lifting mechanism 231 to descend and pick up the product panel, and drives the transfer suction cup frame 24 to move the product panel to the conveying and guiding mechanism 3 through the transfer slide 23. The angle of the product panel picked up by the transfer suction cup frame 24 is adjusted by the transfer rotation mechanism 232 of the material transfer mechanism 2, and the transfer lifting mechanism 231 is driven to descend and release the product panel onto the conveying and guiding roller 32 of the conveying and guiding mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 35 lifts the adsorption displacement platform 34, and the adsorption displacement platform 34 adsorbs the product panel.

[0096] The conveying and importing displacement mechanism 33 drives the adsorption displacement platform 34 to move the product panel between the upper roller 42 and the lower roller 45 of the cutting assembly 4. The upper roller 42 and the lower roller 45 clamp the product panel, and drive the upper cutter head 41 and the lower cutter head 44 to move relative to each other to cut the product panel. The upper roller 42 and the lower roller 45, as well as the upper cutter head 41 and the lower cutter head 44, release the cut product panel.

[0097] The picking and adjusting mechanism 5 is moved to the unloading side of the cutting component 4. The lifting mechanism 55 of the picking and adjusting mechanism 5 drives the transfer suction cup frame 2 54 to descend and adsorb the product panel. The angle rotation mechanism 53 rotates and adjusts the positional relationship between the product panel adsorbed on the transfer suction cup frame 2 54 and the conveying and guiding mechanism 7. The displacement component 52 drives the product panel to move onto the conveying and guiding wheel 72 of the conveying and guiding mechanism 7 and the adsorption displacement table 2 73. The adsorption displacement table 2 73 moves the product panel to below the central control adjustment component 8.

[0098] The transfer suction cup bracket 853 on the slide 83 of the drive control adjustment component 8 adsorbs the product panel. The product panel is rotated and flipped by the rotation adjustment component 84. The longitudinal telescopic mechanism 851 descends and drives the transfer suction cup bracket 853 to pick up the product panel. The angle of the product panel picked up by the transfer suction cup bracket 853 is adjusted by the rotation mechanism 852.

[0099] Furthermore, the upper roller 42 and lower roller 45 of the cutting assembly 4, as well as the chip removal and crushing mechanism 94 on the feeding side of the upper cutter head 41 and lower cutter head 44, crush the waste material through the chip removal and crushing mechanism 94, collect the waste material through the waste box below the chip removal and crushing mechanism 94, and use the vacuum interface 942 on one side of the chip removal and crushing mechanism to suck up the dust.

[0100] Working principle:

[0101] The present invention provides an automated logistics system and method for liquid crystal glass slices, which features convenient flexible conveying, versatility in posture adjustment, and stability in waste removal and cutting.

[0102] This invention effectively and conveniently addresses the needs of LCD glass feeding and downstream conveying; it improves the stability of cutting and waste removal, effectively preventing waste ejection from affecting production. The waste material handling utilizes a waste material shredding structure, facilitating the replacement of the waste material box without stopping the machine. This also ensures convenient replacement of the waste material mechanism, preventing clogging. Furthermore, during waste material shredding, waste material does not splatter outside the device, providing a dust collection function. After cutting, the state of the cutting line can be captured by a camera.

[0103] Based on the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the above 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.
