[0044] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] This embodiment provides a steel and aluminum sheet separation device, characterized in that it includes a moving module 1 and a separation module 2, the separation module 2 can be moved to a set area of ​​a production workbench through the moving module 1, and the set area is used to place a steel sheet pile or an aluminum sheet pile;

[0047] The sheet separation module 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a magnetic shielding structure and a driving device. A permanent magnet with a set magnetic induction strength is arranged on the mounting plate 21. The magnetic shielding structure is made of a non-magnetic material and shields the permanent magnet. The magnetic shielding structure is connected to the driving device. When the sheet separation module 2 is moved to a set area and a steel plate pile is placed in the set area, the magnetic shielding structure is driven by the driving device to a set stroke and does not shield the permanent magnet. The mounting plate 21 is located on one side of the steel plate pile and separates multiple steel plates stacked in the steel plate pile through the permanent magnet.

[0048] The separating module 2 also includes an air path slide rail 23 and an air path separating air nozzle 24. The air path slide rail 23 extends in the up and down directions and is connected to the mounting plate 21. The air path separating air nozzle 24 is slidably set on the air path slide rail 23. When the separating module 2 is moved to a set area and a pile of aluminum plates is placed in the set area, the air path separating air nozzle 24 moves along the air path slide rail 23 to one side of the top of the aluminum plate pile and is used to separate multiple aluminum plates stacked in the aluminum plate pile.

[0049] In combination with the above embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile module 1 is connected to the workbench, for example, by slidingly connecting the mobile module 1 to the workbench through a slide rail, so that the mobile module 1 can slide relative to the workbench. The set area of ​​the workbench is used to place the steel plate pile or the aluminum plate pile, and the sheet separation module 2 is connected to the mobile module 1, and the position can be adjusted by the mobile module 1, so that it can be transferred to the set area of ​​the workbench before the sheet separation work. After being transferred to the set area, the sheet separation module 2 separates the steel plate pile or the aluminum plate pair.

[0050] Specifically, the sheet separation module 2 integrates the two functions of steel sheet separation and aluminum sheet separation. The matching sheet separation module can be selected according to the material of the sheet (steel sheet or aluminum sheet), so as to achieve the separation of steel sheet or aluminum sheet. The sheet separation module 2 may include a mounting plate 21, a magnetic shielding mechanism and a driving device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 21 is vertically arranged and connected to the moving module 1, and a permanent magnet is arranged on the mounting plate 21, and the steel plate is separated by the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet has a set magnetic induction intensity, that is, a strong magnet (for example, the induction intensity is between 0.05T-10T), so that the permanent magnet can generate a relatively strong magnetic field, and can effectively separate the steel plate.

[0051] The magnetic shielding mechanism is used to shield the permanent magnet to shield the magnetic field. For example, the magnetic shielding mechanism can be a plastic shell that is slightly larger than the permanent magnet. Since plastic is non-magnetic, magnetic field shielding can be achieved when the plastic shell shields the permanent magnet. The driving device is connected to the magnetic shielding mechanism, and the reciprocating movement of the driving device drives the magnetic shielding structure to move back and forth, so that the magnetic shielding mechanism can shield the permanent magnet or move away from the permanent magnet. The driving device can be a cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the magnetic shielding mechanism. The cylinder realizes the reciprocating movement of the telescopic rod within a set stroke through a magnetic opening nozzle.

[0052] Before the steel plates are separated, the magnetic shielding mechanism blocks the permanent magnet to prevent the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet from affecting the metal or electronic products carried by the staff. When the steel plates are separated, the magnetic separation air nozzle controls the cylinder to drive the magnetic shielding structure to move, thereby retracting the magnetic shielding of the permanent magnet, and then the steel plates can be separated by the permanent magnet.

[0053] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 21 is also integrated with an air path slide rail 24 and an air path spreading nozzle 24. The air path slide rail 23 is arranged on the mounting plate 21 along the vertical direction, and the air path spreading nozzle 24 is installed on the air path slide rail 23 so as to move up and down along the vertical direction. When separating the aluminum plates, the permanent magnet can be shielded first, and then the air path spreading nozzle 24 slides upward along the air path slide rail 23 until it reaches one side of the top of the aluminum plate pile, and the air path spreading nozzle 24 is controlled to blow air to the aluminum plate pile, thereby separating the aluminum plate pile.

[0054] The steel and aluminum sheet separation device of the embodiment of the present application, the separation module further includes a controller, a sensor 25 and a slider 26, the controller is in communication connection with the sensor 25, the slider 26 is slidably arranged on the air path slide rail 23, and the sensor 25 and the air path separation nozzle 24 are arranged on the slider 26;

[0055] When the aluminum plates are separated by the air path separation nozzle 24, the sensor 25 detects the height change of the aluminum plate pile, and the controller receives the height change information and controls the sensor 25 and the air path separation nozzle 24 to slide downward to a set height matching the height change.

[0056] In combination with the above embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sheeting module 2 further includes a controller, a sensor 25 and a slider 26. The sensor 25 and the air path sheeting nozzle 24 are arranged together on the slider 26. The slider 26 is arranged on the air path slide rail 23 and can slide along the air path slide rail 23 in the up-down direction. The sensor 25 and the air path sheeting nozzle 24 slide along the up-down direction with the slider 26. On the one hand, the controller is used to switch different sheeting modes according to different types of sheet materials. For example, when the sheet material is a steel sheet, the steel sheet is sheeted by a permanent magnet, and when the sheet material is an aluminum sheet, the aluminum sheet is sheeted by the air path sheeting nozzle 24.

[0057] On the other hand, the controller controls the slider 26 to slide down to set the height by analyzing the height change information of the aluminum plate pile. During the aluminum plate separation process, the aluminum plate at the top of the aluminum plate pile will be taken away, so that the height of the aluminum plate pile gradually decreases to zero. The corresponding slider 26 will slide down as the height of the aluminum plate pile decreases. For example, every time two aluminum plates are taken away, the slider is controlled to slide down by the thickness of one aluminum plate, so as to maintain a suitable distance from the top of the aluminum plate pile, so that the gas blown out by the air path separation nozzle 24 has sufficient air pressure, which is convenient for realizing the effective separation of the aluminum plate pile. When it is detected that the height of the aluminum plate pile is zero, it means that the aluminum plate pile of this batch has been separated and transferred, and the slider 26 is controlled to slide down to the bottom of the air path slide rail 23, waiting for the next batch of separation or ending the separation work.

[0058] In the present application embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile module 1 includes a working connection table slide rail 11, a main shaft 12, a rotating main arm 13 and a rotating auxiliary arm 14. The working connection table slide rail 11 is set on the workbench, and the bottom end of the main shaft 12 is connected to the working connection table slide rail 11 to achieve sliding on the workbench, the rotating main arm 13 is rotatably connected to the top end of the main shaft 12, and the rotating auxiliary arm 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating main arm 13. The rotating auxiliary arm 14 is also connected to the mounting plate 21 of the sheeting module 2. Through the sliding pair of the main shaft 12 along the working connection table slide rail 11, the rotating pairs of the rotating main arm 13 and the rotating auxiliary arm 14, the sheeting module 2 can be accurately adjusted to the set area of ​​the workbench when performing sheeting work.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] The embodiment of the present application also provides a steel and aluminum sheet sheet separation and transfer system, including a sheet sheet grabbing device and a sheet sheet separation device, the sheet sheet separation device includes a moving module 1 and a separation module 2, the separation module 2 includes a controller; the separation module 2 can be moved to a set area of ​​the production workbench through the moving module 1, and switch a separation mode matching the sheet material type according to the type of sheet material to separate the steel plate pile or aluminum plate pile in the set area; the controller is communicatively connected with the sheet sheet grabbing device, and when the steel plates or aluminum plates are separated by the sheet sheet separation device, the controller controls the sheet sheet grabbing device to grab the steel plate at the top of the steel plate pile or the aluminum plate at the top of the aluminum plate pile and transfer them to the designated area.

[0061] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, the sheet material separation device includes a moving module 1 and a separation module 2. The moving module 1 transfers the separation module 2 to a preset area of ​​the workbench. The separation module 2 switches to a matching separation mode according to the type of different sheets, thereby realizing the separation of the piled steel sheets or aluminum sheets. The sheet material grasping device can be, for example, a grasping robot. After the separation module 2 separates the steel sheets or aluminum sheets, the sheet material grasping device grasps the steel sheets or aluminum sheets in turn from top to bottom and transfers them to the designated area.

[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] The present application also provides a steel and aluminum sheet material separation and transfer method, which is applied to a controller of a separation module 2 in a separation and transfer system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sheet transfer system also includes a moving module 1 and a sheet material grabbing device; the method includes:

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sheet separation module 2 is moved to a set area of ​​the production workbench by the moving module 1, and a steel plate pile or an aluminum plate pile is placed in the set area;

[0065] The type of sheet material is determined according to the material information of the input sheet material, and the sheet separation module is switched to a sheet separation mode matching the sheet material type according to the sheet material type, wherein the sheet material types include steel sheet and aluminum sheet;

[0066] When the steel plates or aluminum plates are separated by the plate separating device, the plate grabbing device is controlled to grab the steel plates at the top of the steel plate pile or the aluminum plates at the top of the aluminum plate pile from top to bottom in sequence and transfer them to the designated area.

[0067] Step S1: The sheet separation module 2 is moved to a set area of ​​a production workbench by the moving module 1, and a steel plate pile or an aluminum plate pile is placed in the set area.

[0068] The controller adjusts the position of the separating module 2 on the workbench (such as the destacker workbench) by controlling the main shaft 12, the rotating main arm 13, and the rotating auxiliary arm 14, so that the separating module 2 moves to the set area of ​​the workbench, and the separating module 2 is positioned on one side of the steel plate pile or aluminum plate pile stored in the set area, making it convenient for the separating module 2 to separate the steel plates or aluminum plates.

[0069] Step S2: Determine the type of sheet material according to the material information of the input sheet material, and switch the sheet separation module 2 to a sheet separation mode matching the sheet material type according to the sheet material type, wherein the sheet material types include steel sheets and aluminum sheets.

[0070] The material information of the sheet material in the set area is input into the press console. The controller determines the type of sheet material and switches the sheet separation mode of the sheet separation module 2. The sheet separation module 2 is integrated with a sheet separation structure that matches the sheet material type (such as a permanent magnet and an air path sheet separation nozzle). The matching sheet separation structure can be selected according to different sheet material types.

[0071] Step S3: When the steel plates or aluminum plates are separated by the sheet separation module 2, the sheet grabbing device is controlled to grab the steel plate at the top of the steel plate pile or the aluminum plate at the top of the aluminum plate pile from top to bottom in sequence and transfer them to the designated area.

[0072] After the steel plates or aluminum plates are separated, they are grasped from top to bottom in sequence by a sheet material grasping device (such as a grasping robot) and transferred to a designated area.

[0073] In the steel and aluminum sheet material separation and transfer method of the embodiment of the present application, the separation module 2 further includes a mounting plate 21 and an air path separation nozzle 24, a permanent magnet with a set magnetic induction intensity is arranged on the mounting plate 21, and the air path separation nozzle 24 is installed on the mounting plate 21;

[0074] The type of sheet is determined based on the material information of the input sheet, and the sheet separation module is switched to a sheet separation mode that matches the sheet type based on the sheet type, including:

[0075] When the sheet material is determined to be a steel plate, the steel plates in the steel plate pile are separated by a permanent magnet;

[0076] When it is determined that the sheet material is an aluminum sheet, the aluminum sheets in the aluminum sheet pile are separated by an air nozzle through an air path.

[0077] In combination with the above embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 21 is vertically arranged and connected to the moving module 1, and a permanent magnet is arranged on the mounting plate 21, and the steel plate is spread out by the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet has a set magnetic induction intensity, that is, a strong magnet (for example, the induction intensity is between 0.05T-10T), so that the permanent magnet can generate a relatively strong magnetic field. Since the steel plate can conduct magnetism, the steel plate can be fully spread out.

[0078] The mounting plate 21 is also integrated with an air path slide rail 23 and an air path spreading nozzle 24. The air path slide rail 23 is arranged on the mounting plate 21 in the vertical direction, and the air path spreading nozzle 24 is installed on the air path slide rail 23 so as to move up and down in the vertical direction. When separating the aluminum plates, the permanent magnet can be shielded first, and then the air path spreading nozzle 24 slides upward along the air path slide rail 23 until it reaches one side of the top of the aluminum plate pile, and the air path spreading nozzle 24 is controlled to blow air to the aluminum plate pile, thereby separating the aluminum plate pile.

[0079] In the steel and aluminum sheet material transfer method of the embodiment of the present application, the sheeting module 2 also includes a magnetic shielding structure and a driving device. The magnetic shielding structure is a non-magnetic material and shields the permanent magnet. The magnetic shielding structure is also connected to the driving device and is driven by the driving device to a set stroke without shielding the permanent magnet. The method also includes:

[0080] When the sheet material is determined to be a steel plate, the driving device is controlled to move a set stroke so that the magnetic shielding structure does not shield the permanent magnet, and the stacked steel plates are separated by the permanent magnet;

[0081] After determining that the working equipment is shut down or the sheet material is an aluminum sheet, the driving equipment is controlled to move in reverse to set a stroke so that the magnetic shielding structure shields the permanent magnet; wherein, the working equipment includes at least one of a sheet separation module and a sheet material grabbing device. When the aluminum sheet is being separated or the equipment is shut down, the permanent magnet is blocked to prevent the magnetic field of the permanent magnet from interfering with the steel parts or electronic products carried by the staff.

[0082] In combination with the above embodiments, the magnetic shielding mechanism is used to shield the permanent magnet to shield the magnetic field. For example, the magnetic shielding mechanism can be a plastic shell that is slightly larger than the permanent magnet. Since plastic is not magnetically conductive, magnetic field shielding can be achieved when the plastic shell shields the permanent magnet. The driving device is connected to the magnetic shielding mechanism, and the reciprocating movement of the driving device drives the magnetic shielding structure to move back and forth, so that the magnetic shielding mechanism shields the permanent magnet or moves away from the permanent magnet. The driving device can be a cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the magnetic shielding mechanism.
