Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sheet material assembly, in particular to an automatic sheet material assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] In current industrial production, the sheet assembly process often relies on manual operation, which not only affects assembly efficiency but also increases labor costs. Specifically, the traditional sheet assembly method mainly relies on manual assembly of sheets onto the material strip one by one through positioning jigs. This method has several significant problems: First, manual assembly is relatively inefficient. Since it requires manual operation one by one, the assembly speed is limited by the operator's proficiency and physical condition, making it difficult to significantly improve production efficiency.

[0003] Secondly, the use of positioning jigs during manual assembly may cause deformation of the material strip positioning holes. After long-term use, the accuracy and stability of the positioning jigs may decrease, causing deformation of the material strip positioning holes, which in turn affects the quality and reliability of the product.

[0004] In addition, with the continuous development of industrial automation technology, people's requirements for production efficiency and product quality are getting higher and higher. Traditional manual assembly methods can no longer meet the needs of modern industrial production, so it is necessary to seek a more efficient and accurate automated assembly solution.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the market urgently needs an automatic sheet assembly machine that can automatically complete sheet feeding, film tearing, alignment, transportation and visual inspection processes. This automatic assembly machine can not only greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs, but also reduce quality problems caused by improper manual operation through precise automatic control.

Assuming that the two-section first material picking module 63 is located directly above the material waiting platform 42 at this time, then the two-section second material picking module 64 opposite thereto will be located directly above the alignment unit 5. At this time, the two-section first material picking module 63 and the two-section second material picking module 64 will synchronously adsorb the corresponding sheets 102 on the material waiting platform 42 and the alignment unit 5, and through the position adjustment of the two-section transverse linear drive module 61 and the two-section longitudinal linear drive module 62, the sheet 102 on the material waiting platform 42 is placed on the alignment unit 5, and the sheet 102 on the alignment unit 5 is placed on the conveying unit 8.

The material pulling drive module 71 is responsible for pulling the material belt. Specifically, the material pulling drive module 71 includes a device installed and fixed on the equipment cabinet. 1 and a material pulling active roller shaft 713 rotatably connected to the upper part of the equipment cabinet 1; a height-adjustable material pressing driven roller shaft 712 is installed on the upper part of the material pulling active roller shaft 713, that is to say, the spacing between the material pressing driven roller shaft 712 and the material pulling active roller shaft 713 is adjustable, and the driving end of the material pulling motor 711 is connected to the material pulling active roller shaft 713 through a material pulling pulley group 714. When material pulling is required, the material pulling motor 711 drives the material pulling active roller shaft 713 to rotate through the material pulling pulley group 714, and the material belt is moved by relying on the friction between the material belt and the material pressing driven roller shaft 712 and the material pulling active roller shaft 713.
