[0061] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0062] like Figure 1-18 As shown, an online auxiliary material high-speed laminating machine includes a frame 1 and a workpiece transport assembly 2, an auxiliary material transport assembly 3, and a transverse transport assembly 4 arranged on the frame 1. The workpiece transport assembly 2 is used to transport a workpiece 100 along a first conveying direction. The auxiliary material transport assembly 3 is used to transport an auxiliary material 200 along the first conveying direction. The transverse transport assembly 4 is used to transport the auxiliary material 200 to the workpiece transport assembly 2 along a second conveying direction and place it on the workpiece 100 on the workpiece transport assembly 2. The first conveying direction and the second conveying direction are both located in a horizontal plane and are perpendicular to each other.

[0063] The workpiece transport assembly 2 includes a first bracket 201 arranged on the frame 1 and two first guide rails 202 arranged on the first bracket 291. The two first guide rails 202 are arranged in parallel and both extend along the first conveying direction. A first conveyor belt 203 is arranged on the inner side of each first guide rail 202. The workpiece 100 is placed on the first conveyor belt 203 through a jig 300. The jig 300 is placed between the two first guide rails 202, and the size of the jig 300 in the second conveying direction is equal to or slightly smaller than the distance between the two first guide rails 202. The jig 300 is supported on the first conveyor belt 203, and the first conveyor belt 203 can drive the jig 300 to move along the first conveying direction.

[0064] The workpiece transport assembly 2 also includes a jig conveying assembly 204, which is also used to convey the jig 300 along the first conveying direction. The jig conveying assembly 204 includes a first module 2041 arranged on the frame 1 and directly below the two first guide rails 202, a sliding frame 2042 arranged on the output end of the first module 2041, and two top plates 2044 arranged along the second conveying direction on the sliding frame 2042. The output end of the first module 2041 can move back and forth along the first conveying direction. When viewed along the first conveying direction, the sliding frame 2042 is U-shaped, and the two first guide rails 202 pass through the U-shape of the sliding frame 2042. The two top plates 2044 are respectively horizontally arranged at the two ends of the U-shape of the sliding frame 2042 and extend towards each other. The height of the two top plates 2044 is higher than the height of the first guide rails 202 and extends towards each other to directly above the corresponding first conveyor belt 203. The jig conveyor assembly 204 also includes a lifting plate 2043, mounted on a sliding frame 2042 and movable up and down. During its up and down movement, the lifting plate 2043 lifts the jig 300 located on the first conveyor belt 203 and places it against the top plate 2044, thereby placing the jig 300 on the first conveyor belt 203. Placing the auxiliary material 200 on the workpiece 100 located on the jig 300 requires precise positioning, but the first conveyor belt 203 lacks precision. Therefore, when placing the auxiliary material 200, the jig 300 is lifted and secured from the first conveyor belt 203 by the jig conveyor assembly 204. The movement of the jig 300 is controlled by the first module 2041, enabling precise control. The lifting plate 2043 is driven by a pneumatic cylinder.

[0065] Furthermore, a distance measuring sensor 2045 that can move up and down is provided on the sliding frame 2042 and the distance measuring sensor 2045 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 2043 along the first conveying direction. The distance measuring sensor 2045 detects along the first conveying direction and toward the lifting plate 2043. When in use, the jig 300 is located on the first conveyor belt 203 and is moved to a designated position driven by the first conveyor belt 203. The distance measuring sensor 2045 moves upward and the detection end is aligned with the jig 300 in the vertical direction. The first module 2041 drives the sliding frame 2042 to move and detects the distance between the distance measuring sensor 2045 and the jig 300 in real time through the distance measuring sensor 2045. When the predetermined distance is reached, the first module 2041 stops moving, and the lifting plate 2043 moves upward, pushing the jig 300 between it and the top plate 2044, so that the jig 300 is separated from the first conveyor belt 203, and then the first module 2041 is controlled as needed to drive the jig 300 to move precisely.

[0066] Preferably, the workpiece transport assemblies 2 comprise two groups, arranged in parallel. An end conveyor assembly 205 is provided at each end of the workpiece transport assemblies 2. Each of the end conveyor assemblies 205 can transport jigs along a first conveying direction and can move back and forth along a second conveying direction to align with one of the two groups of workpiece transport assemblies 2. One of the end conveyor assemblies 205 alternately transports a jig 300 to one of the workpiece transport assemblies 2, while the other end conveyor assembly 205 alternately receives jigs 300 from the two workpiece output assemblies 2. The two groups of conveyor assemblies 2 improve the efficiency of the equipment.

[0067] The transverse transport component 4 includes a second bracket 401 arranged on the frame 1, and a second module 402 arranged on the second bracket 401. The second module 402 extends along the second conveying direction and spans directly above the workpiece transport component 2 and the auxiliary material transport component 3. The second module 402 is a dual-output end module. For the convenience of description, the two output ends are respectively referred to as the first output end and the second output end. The first output end and the second output end can move back and forth independently along the second conveying direction. A material picking component 403 is provided on the first output end. The material picking component 403 includes The invention comprises a first mounting plate 4033 provided on the first output end, a plurality of lifting blocks 4034 movably provided on the first mounting plate 4033, a plurality of rotating rods 4031 rotatably provided on each lifting block 4034, and a suction nozzle 4032 provided at the lower end of each rotating rod 4031, wherein each lifting block 4034 is provided with a rotating rod 4031, and the plurality of lifting blocks 4034 and the plurality of rotating rods 4031 are arranged at equal intervals along the second conveying direction, and the axis of each rotating rod 4031 is vertically arranged, and the suction nozzle 4032 is used to suck the auxiliary material 200. Each rotating rod 4031 is driven by an independent motor and can adjust the angle of the auxiliary material 200 by rotation. The lifting and lowering movement of each lifting block 4034 is driven by an independent motor and a screw rod, that is, each lifting block 4034 can move up and down independently, thereby enabling each suction nozzle 4032 to move up and down independently. During use, the first output end drives the suction nozzle 4032 to move to the position directly above the auxiliary material transport assembly 3. Multiple suction nozzles 4032 can move downward simultaneously to suck away the auxiliary material 200 on the auxiliary material transport assembly 3. Driven by the first output end, the auxiliary material 200 is moved to the position directly above the workpiece 100 on the jig 300 located on the workpiece transport assembly 2 and placed on the workpiece 100. Preferably, the jig 300 is provided with multiple placement positions for placing workpieces at equal intervals along the first conveying direction. The number of the placement positions is the same as the number of suction nozzles 4032. By controlling the movement of the first output end and the first module 2041, the workpieces 100 on the multiple suction nozzles 4032 can be placed in the corresponding placement positions in sequence.

[0068] The suction nozzle 4032 can move within a certain range in the up and down directions relative to the corresponding rotating rod 4031, and a spring is arranged between the suction nozzle 4032 and the rotating rod 4031. The spring is always in a compressed state, so that when the suction nozzle 4032 contacts the auxiliary material 200, it can have a certain buffering effect.

[0069] A first camera assembly 404 is provided on the second output end. The first camera assembly 404 faces downward to accurately capture the position of the workpiece 100 to be received by the auxiliary material 200. The second output end can drive the first camera assembly 404 to move back and forth along the second conveying direction, enabling the capture of the workpieces 100 on both workpiece transport assemblies 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the transverse transport component 4 also includes a second shooting component 405 arranged on the frame 1, and the second shooting component 405 is arranged between the auxiliary material transport component 3 and the workpiece transport component 2. The second shooting component 405 shoots upward. When viewed from above, the second shooting component 405 and the multiple suction nozzles 4032 are located on the same straight line. When the suction nozzle 4032 sucks the auxiliary material 200, it passes through the second shooting component 405 in turn. The precise position of the auxiliary material 200 can be obtained through the second shooting component 405. By combining the precise position of the workpiece 100 obtained by the first shooting component 404, it is determined whether the angle of the auxiliary material 200 needs to be adjusted. If necessary, the rotating rod 4031 can be controlled to rotate a certain angle. At the same time, the position of the workpiece 100 in the first conveying direction can also be controlled to make a certain adjustment so that the auxiliary material 200 can be aligned with the workpiece 100.

[0071] The auxiliary material transport assembly 3 includes a third bracket 301 mounted on the frame 1. The third bracket 301 extends along a first conveying direction. A first material storage space 302 and a second material storage space 303 are respectively provided at both ends of the third bracket 301. The first material storage space 302 is used to store a tray 304 containing auxiliary materials 200, and the second material storage space 302 is used to store an empty tray 304 after the auxiliary materials 200 have been removed. When viewed from above, the first material storage space 302 and the second material storage space 303 are each surrounded by four corner panels 306, which correspond to the four corners of the tray 304.

[0072] The auxiliary material transport assembly 3 also includes a transport mechanism 307, which includes a third module 3071 mounted on a third support 301. The output end of the third module 3071 moves along the first conveying direction. The transport mechanism 307 also includes a linkage plate 3072 mounted on the output end of the third module 3071 and two clamping mechanisms 3073 mounted on the linkage plate 3072. The two clamping mechanisms 3073 are arranged along the first conveying direction and are used to clamp the material tray 304. Each clamping mechanism 3073 includes a support plate 3073 that can move vertically and is positioned horizontally. The clamping mechanism 3073 further includes positioning plates 3075 disposed on either side of the support plate 3073 along the first conveying direction. The positioning plates 3075 are higher than the support plate 3073 and can move up and down synchronously with the support plate 3073. The positioning plates 3075 on either side of the support plate 3073 can move toward or away from each other to secure the material tray 304 on the support plate 3073. Preferably, the positioning plates 3075 are driven by a double-ended cylinder. The up and down movement of the support plates 3073 in the two clamping mechanisms 3073 is independently controlled, i.e., the up and down movement of the two support plates 3073 does not affect each other.

[0073] Preferably, first notches 3041 are provided on both sides of the material tray 304 along the first conveying direction and at positions corresponding to the positioning plates 3075. The first notches 3041 are open upward and in a direction away from the center of the material tray 304. When the material tray 304 is placed on the support plate 3073, the positioning plates 3075 on both sides move toward the material tray 304 and are partially inserted into the corresponding first notches 3041, thereby enabling the material tray 304 to be fixed.

[0074] The distance between the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3073 is configured such that when one clamping mechanism 3073 is located directly below the first material storage space 302, the other clamping mechanism 3073 is located at the auxiliary material removal station, and when one clamping mechanism 3073 is located at the auxiliary material removal station, the other clamping mechanism 3073 is located directly below the second material storage space 303. Furthermore, when the transport mechanism 307 moves one material tray 304 from the first material storage space 302 to the auxiliary material removal station, it simultaneously moves another material tray 304 from the auxiliary material removal station to directly below the second material storage space 303.

[0075] Preferably, the material tray 304 is provided with multiple rows of troughs 3042 spaced evenly apart in the first conveying direction. The auxiliary materials 200 are placed in the troughs 3042. The number of troughs 3042 in each row is an integer multiple of the number of suction nozzles 4032. The suction nozzles 4032 remove the auxiliary materials 200 row by row. When one row is removed, the third module 3071 moves the two clamping mechanisms 3073 a predetermined distance to remove the auxiliary materials 200 in the next row.

[0076] A first baffle 308 is provided on the third bracket 301 at a position corresponding to the first material storage space 302. Two first baffles 308 are provided on both sides of the first material storage space 302 along the second conveying direction. The first baffles 308 can move back and forth along the second conveying direction. The height of the first baffles 308 is higher than that of the third bracket 301. Second notches 3042 are provided on both sides of the material tray 304 along the second conveying direction. Each first baffle 308 corresponds to a second notch 3042. The end of the first baffle 308 facing the first material storage space 302 can be inserted into the corresponding second notch 3042.

[0077] The material trays 304 in the first material storage space 302 are stacked in sequence and the lowest material tray 304 is supported on the first baffle 308. When in use, the support plate 3073 and the positioning plate 3075 located below the first material storage space 302 move upward for a distance, so that the support plate 3073 contacts the lowest material tray 304, the positioning plate 3075 moves toward the material tray 304 and inserts into the first notch 3041, and then the first baffle 308 moves outward and then separates from the material tray 304; the support plate 3073 moves downward for a distance, and the first baffle 308 The support plate 3073 moves toward the trays 304 and inserts into the second notch 3042 of the bottom tray 304. The support plate 3073 continues to move downward. Due to the presence of the second notch 3042, the first baffle 308 cannot prevent the bottom tray 304 from moving downward. After moving downward a certain distance, the tray 304 above the bottom tray 304 is supported on the first baffle 308 and no longer moves downward. In other words, the bottom tray 304 is separated from the tray 304 above it, and the support plate 3073 continues to move downward a predetermined distance. Finally, driven by the third module 3071, the tray 304 moves along the first conveying direction. During its movement along the first conveying direction, the tray 304 remains above the third support 301 and can be supported on the third support 301 as needed.

[0078] When the auxiliary materials are conveyed, the third module 3071 moves along the first conveying direction with the clamping mechanism 3073. When the first discharge trough 3042 on the material tray 304 at the material taking station moves to just below the suction nozzle 4032, it stops moving until all the auxiliary materials 200 on the row are taken away. Then the third module 3071 drives the clamping mechanism 3073 to move a certain distance again, which is the distance between the two discharge troughs 3042, until all the auxiliary materials 200 on the material tray 304 at the material taking station are taken away. The third module 3071 continues to move with the two clamping mechanisms, so that the material tray 304 originally at the material taking station moves to the second discharge trough 3042. Directly below the storage space 303, the material tray 304 that was originally located directly below the first storage space 302 is placed at the material picking station, and then the clamping mechanism cancels the clamping, and the third module 3071 brings the two clamping mechanisms 3073 back to directly below the first storage space 302 and the material picking station respectively, and the clamping mechanism 3073 located directly below the first storage space 302 begins to receive the material tray 304 of new material on the first storage space 302, and the clamping mechanism 3073 located at the material picking station clamps the material tray 304 located at the material picking station, and then the third module 3071 brings this clamping mechanism 3073 to move along the first conveying direction, and so on.

[0079] Second baffles 309 are provided on the third bracket 301 and on both sides along the second conveying direction. Preferably, there are two second baffles 309 on each side of the third bracket 301 . The second baffle 309 is rotatable, and its rotation axis is parallel to the first conveying direction. A torsion spring (not shown) is provided on its rotation axis, and the torsion spring always has a torsional force to restore the second baffle 309 to its initial position. When the second baffle 309 is in the initial position, its upper surface is flat and partially extends into the second storage space 302. When the clamping mechanism 3073 moves the material tray 200 to the bottom of the second storage space 303, the clamping mechanism 3073 moves the material tray 200 upward and pushes the second baffle 309 to rotate, so that the second baffle 309 is rotated out of the second storage space 303. When the material tray 200 moves upward to a predetermined height, the second baffle 309 is separated from the material tray 200 and returns to its initial position under the action of the torsion spring. Then the clamping mechanism 3073 releases the material tray 200 and moves downward. During the downward movement, the material tray 200 will be blocked by the second baffle 309 and then stored in the second storage space 303.

[0080] Preferably, the auxiliary material transport assembly 3 further includes a third camera assembly 310, which is located directly above the material tray 304 at the material retrieving station and takes a downward-facing image.
