Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of conveying or storage devices, in particular to an object or material handling device related to a conveyor; a cathode copper plate separation device and a control method using these devices. Background Art

[0002] The production of cathode copper plates requires many steps. During the production process, the cathode copper plates processed in the previous step need to be stacked and weighed. The copper plates are of different thicknesses. In order to meet trade standards (the weight deviation of each stack of trade copper does not exceed ±2%), manual labor is required to separate the copper plates and then balance the weights. This has problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, poor operability, and easy damage. It no longer meets the needs of mass production of modern products.

[0003] The "automatic copper plate separation device" disclosed in the announcement number TW109122159A can separate three or more copper plates, but the structure is complex and requires more separation parts, that is, the device that directly separates the copper plates has to move completely between the two layers of copper plates through rollers after the initial separation of the copper plates. The separation speed is slow and it is easy to cause wear on the surface of the copper plates. The efficiency is low, and the suction cup needs to first pull a larger opening between the upper and lower copper plates, which requires high suction capacity and air tightness of the suction cup. For copper plates with larger mass, the stripping efficiency is not high. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to quickly separate the copper plates that are heavy and stuck together, and reduce the damage to the copper plates. Another purpose of the present invention is to reduce the labor intensity of workers and avoid the risk of workers being injured by copper plates due to operational errors during the process of separating the copper plates. Another purpose of the present invention is to enable the copper plate separation step to be produced online, improve production efficiency, and control the quality of the copper stack within the standard range through automation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0036] Embodiment 1: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cathode copper plate separation device includes a plate separation mechanism 1, a plate placing rack 2, and a plate flipping mechanism 3. The plate separation mechanism 1 is installed on the plate placing rack 2, and the plate flipping mechanism 3 is also installed on the plate placing rack 2. The plate flipping mechanism 3 and the plate separation mechanism 1 are installed on the plate placing rack 2 along the same direction.

[0037] The plate flipping mechanism 3 and the plate separation mechanism 1 are installed on the plate placement rack 2, and a copper plate placement platform 21 is spaced between the installation positions of the two. The installation surface height of the plate separation mechanism 1 on the plate placement rack 2 is the same as the height of the copper plate placement platform 21, and the installation surface height of the plate flipping mechanism 3 on the plate placement rack 2 is lower than the height of the copper plate placement platform 21. After the plate flipping mechanism 3 is installed on the plate placement rack 2, the height of the top of the plate flipping mechanism 3 is the same as the height of the copper plate placement platform 21.

[0038] The plate separation mechanism 1 includes a separation mechanism 12 and an adsorption mechanism 11, and the plate separation mechanism 1 is composed of the adsorption mechanism 11 and the separation mechanism 12. The adsorption mechanism 11 is a vacuum adsorption device, and the adsorption mechanism 11 adsorbs the upper copper plate from one end. After the adsorption mechanism 11 adsorbs the upper copper plate, it lifts it to a certain extent, so that an opening of a certain size can be generated between the upper and lower copper plates. The size of the opening is required to allow the head of the opening knife 121 of the separation mechanism 12 to extend into. The adsorption mechanism 11 has the effect of lifting the upper copper plate.

[0039] The separation mechanism 12 is based on the suction mechanism 11 lifting the upper copper plate to a certain extent, so that a certain size of opening is generated between the upper and lower copper plates, and the opening knife 121 on the separation mechanism 12 extends from the opening to expand the size of the opening. Therefore, the suction mechanism 11 should be located above the separation mechanism. As can be seen from the figure, the suction mechanism 11 is located above the separation mechanism 12. And the suction mechanism 11 covers the separation mechanism 12.

[0040] The adsorption mechanism 11 is slidably connected to the plate placing rack 2, the flipping mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the plate placing rack 2, and the separation mechanism 12 is fixedly connected to the plate placing rack 2 except for the opening knife 121.

[0041] The structure of the adsorption mechanism 11 when not installed with the plate rack 2 is a frame-like structure surrounded by three sides, that is, a frame-like structure formed by connecting the two side surfaces and the upper end surface in sequence. A plurality of adsorption mechanism sliders 116 are provided at the bottom positions of the two side surfaces of the adsorption mechanism 11. The number of the adsorption mechanism sliders 116 can be set according to the needs of use. The number of the adsorption mechanism sliders 116 does not affect the sliding of the adsorption mechanism 11 on the plate rack 2. Therefore, it is expressed as a plurality of the adsorption mechanism sliders 116 in the claims. Specifically, in this embodiment, they are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and two adsorption mechanism sliders 116 are provided on each side.

[0042] In order to ensure that the adsorption mechanism 11 can move normally with less resistance, at least one adsorption mechanism slider 116 needs to be provided at the bottom of each side of the adsorption mechanism 11. At the end of one side of the adsorption mechanism 11, an adsorption mechanism linear drive device 115 is provided in a direction away from the opening knife 121. The adsorption mechanism linear drive device 115 is a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder, which is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 11 to slide normally on the plate placement rack 2.

The upper end surface of the adsorption mechanism 11 is a suction cup mounting frame 112. On the center line of the long side of the suction cup mounting frame 112, in the direction of the linear drive device 115 of the adsorption mechanism, an adsorption component extends outward, and the adsorption component includes a fixed suction cup 111, a suction cup mounting cross piece 113, and a suction cup driving telescopic device.

[0044] The fixed suction cup 111 is provided with two on the suction cup mounting cross piece 113. The suction cup mounting cross piece 113 is a long plate-like structure. The fixed suction cup 111 is mounted at both ends of the suction cup mounting cross piece 113. The fixed suction cup 111 is fixedly mounted between the suction cup mounting cross piece 113. The length of the fixed suction cup 111 extending below the suction cup mounting cross piece 113 is fixed.

[0045] The adsorption component is fixedly connected to the suction cup mounting frame 112 and is provided with a platform, on which a suction cup driven telescopic device 114 is installed vertically downward, and the suction cup driven telescopic device 114 is a linear drive device such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder. The fixed part of the suction cup driven telescopic device 114 is fixedly installed on the platform and is installed at the midline position of the platform close to the opening knife 121. The end of the telescopic part of the suction cup driven telescopic device 114 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the suction cup mounting cross piece 113. Upper and lower guide rods are symmetrically provided on both sides of the suction cup driven telescopic device 114 on the platform, and the fixed parts of the upper and lower guide rods are installed on the platform, and the movable parts of the upper and lower guide rods are installed on the suction cup mounting cross piece 113. The fixed suction cup 111 and the suction cup mounting cross piece 113 form a door-like structure with a relatively large width.

The separation mechanism 12 includes an opening knife 121, an opening knife linear drive assembly 122, a guide rod 123, and an opening knife fixing plate 124. In the separation mechanism 12, except for the opening knife 121 and the opening knife fixing plate 124, the remaining parts, namely the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 and the guide rod 123, are fixedly mounted on the plate placing frame 2. The opening knife 121 and the opening knife fixing plate 124 are not connected to the plate placing frame 2.

[0047] The fixed end of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 is connected to the opening knife drive fixing part 24 on the plate mounting frame 2, and the movable end of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 is fixedly connected to the opening knife fixing plate 124. The opening knife linear drive assembly 122 is a linear telescopic drive component such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0048] The guide rods 123 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122, and the guide rods 123 guide the opening knife 121 to move linearly under the drive of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122. The fixed part of the guide rod 123 is fixedly connected to the plate placing frame 2, and is installed at the separation mechanism fixing part 23 on the plate placing frame 2. The ends of the movable part of the guide rod 123 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the opening knife fixing plate 124.

[0049] The opening knife 121 is fixedly mounted to one side of the opening knife fixing plate 124 , and the other side of the opening knife fixing plate 124 is fixedly mounted to the end of the movable part of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 and the end of the movable part of the guide rod 123 .

[0050] The opening knife 121 has a uniform width and a triangular thickness. The two sides of the opening knife 121 are triangular plates with a large area, and the middle part of the opening knife 121 is a triangular prism, connecting the triangular plates on both sides into one. The thickness of the back of the opening knife 121 at the installation position of the opening knife fixing plate 124 reaches the maximum, and the thickness of the back of the opening knife 121 at the farthest position from the opening knife fixing plate 124 reaches the minimum.

[0051] The opening knife 121 is installed at the center of the opening knife fixing plate 124, and the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 is also installed at the center of the opening knife fixing plate 124, except that the opening knife 121 and the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 are respectively installed on both sides of the opening knife fixing plate 124. Guide rods 123 are provided on both sides of the opening knife linear drive assembly 122 and are installed on the opening knife fixing plate 124.

[0052] On one side of the adsorption mechanism 11 , in a direction away from the opening knife 121 , there is provided an adsorption mechanism linear drive device 115 which is fixedly mounted on the plate placing frame 2 and is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 11 to slide on the plate placing frame 2 .

[0053] The suction cup mounting frame 112 is provided above the suction mechanism 11. On the suction cup mounting frame 112, a suction assembly is provided near the opening knife 121. The suction assembly includes the suction cup driving telescopic device 114 and the suction cup mounting horizontal piece 113. The fixed suction cups 111 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the suction cup mounting horizontal piece 113. Preferably, the width of the larger door-like structure formed by the fixed suction cup 111 and the suction cup mounting horizontal piece 113 should be greater than the width of the opening knife fixing plate 124. The height of the larger door-like structure formed by the fixed suction cup 111 and the suction cup mounting horizontal piece 113 should be greater than the maximum thickness of the back of the opening knife 121.

[0054] The plate rack 2 presents an obvious ladder-like structure or step-like structure. The plate rack 2 is a frame-like structure, and the main body is constructed by splicing strip columns. Only a complete T-shaped plate-like structure is covered on the copper plate placement platform 21 located in the middle position. The plate separation mechanism 1 is located at the same height as the copper plate placement platform 21 at the plate separation mechanism installation position on the plate rack 2, and is higher than the plate flipping mechanism 3 at the plate flipping mechanism installation position on the plate rack 2.

[0055] The copper plate placement platform 21 is located in the middle of the plate placement rack 2, and lower copper plate clamps 211 are provided on both sides of the copper plate placement platform 21, specifically at the T-shaped shoulder positions. The lower copper plate clamps 211 are used to clamp and fix the lower copper plate, and fix the lower copper plate and the copper plate placement platform 21 together.

The lower copper plate clamp 211 has a rotation center on the copper plate placement platform 21, and the rotation center and the telescopic part of the lower clamp driving part 212 do not coincide with the connection position of the lower copper plate clamp 211, and the two are staggered. When the lower clamp driving part 212 is extended, the lower copper plate clamp 211 rotates around the rotation center, thereby reducing the gap between the lower copper plate clamp 211 and the copper plate placement platform 21, so that the lower copper plate can be clamped and fixed.

[0058] At the connection position between the copper plate placement platform 21 and the installation position of the flap mechanism, a copper plate limiting strip 213 is provided on the copper plate placement platform 21. The copper plate limiting strip 213 can limit the copper plate from retreating when the opening is opened by the opening knife 121, thereby improving the efficiency and speed of the opening expansion.

[0059] A limit bar driving unit 214 fixedly mounted on the copper plate placement platform 21 is vertically arranged below the copper plate limit bar 213, and the copper plate limit bar 213 is connected to the limit bar driving unit 214.

[0062] The flap mechanism 3 is divided into a sliding part and a flipping part 31. The flipping part 31 is installed on the sliding part and is installed on both sides of the sliding part and is rotatably connected. A flipping mechanism slider 37 is provided at the bottom of the sliding part, and a telescopic mechanism 36 is provided on one side of the bottom of the sliding part.

[0063] Small sprockets 33 are provided on both sides below the sliding part and are transmission-connected to a flip driving part 35 arranged in the middle of the sliding part. The small sprocket 33 is transmission-connected to large sprockets 32 arranged on both sides of the flip part 31. The transmission connecting part is a chain 34.

[0067] The plate flipping mechanism 3 and the plate separation mechanism 1 are installed on the plate placement rack 2, and a copper plate placement platform 21 is spaced between the installation positions of the two. The installation surface height of the plate separation mechanism 1 on the plate placement rack 2 is the same as the height of the copper plate placement platform 21, and the installation surface height of the plate flipping mechanism 3 on the plate placement rack 2 is lower than the height of the copper plate placement platform 21.

The size of the opening is required to allow the head of the opening knife 121 of the separation mechanism 12 to extend into. The adsorption mechanism 11 has the effect of lifting the upper copper plate.

[0069] The separation mechanism 12 is based on the suction mechanism 11 lifting the upper copper plate to a certain extent, so that a certain size of opening is generated between the upper and lower copper plates, and the opening knife 121 on the separation mechanism 12 extends from the opening to expand the size of the opening. Therefore, the suction mechanism 11 should be located above the separation mechanism. As can be seen from the figure, the suction mechanism 11 is located above the separation mechanism 12. And the suction mechanism 11 covers the separation mechanism 12.

[0070] The adsorption mechanism 11 is slidably connected to the plate placing rack 2, the flipping mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the plate placing rack 2, and the separation mechanism 12 is fixedly connected to the plate placing rack 2 except for the opening knife 121.

Therefore, it is expressed as a plurality of the adsorption mechanism sliders 116 in the claims. Specifically, in this embodiment, they are symmetrically arranged on both sides, and two adsorption mechanism sliders 116 are provided on each side.

[0072] In order to ensure that the adsorption mechanism 11 can move normally with less resistance, at least one adsorption mechanism slider 116 needs to be provided at the bottom of each side of the adsorption mechanism 11. At the end of one side of the adsorption mechanism 11, an adsorption mechanism linear drive device 115 is provided in a direction away from the opening knife 121. The adsorption mechanism linear drive device 115 is a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder, which is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 11 to slide normally on the plate placement rack 2.

When the lower clamp driving part 212 is extended, the lower copper plate clamp 211 rotates around the rotation center, thereby reducing the gap between the lower copper plate clamp 211 and the copper plate placement platform 21, so that the lower copper plate can be clamped and fixed.

[0088] At the connection position between the copper plate placement platform 21 and the installation position of the flap mechanism, a copper plate limiting strip 213 is provided on the copper plate placement platform 21. The copper plate limiting strip 213 can limit the copper plate from retreating when the opening is opened by the opening knife 121, thereby improving the efficiency and speed of the opening expansion.

[0096] The lower copper plate clamps 211 on both sides of the copper plate placement platform 21 can be driven by the lower clamp driving unit 212 to flip over, thereby achieving a clamping function. The copper plate limit bar 213 at the end of the copper plate placement platform 21 can also be raised and lowered in the vertical direction under the drive of the limit bar driving unit 214.

[0097] The flipping mechanism 3 can slide on the plate placing frame 2, and the flipping part 31 in the flipping mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the large sprocket 32 ​​through the rotating blocks 311 on both sides. The flipping part 31 can drive the small sprocket 33 on the flipping mechanism 3 by relying on the flipping driving part 35, and transmit it to the large sprocket 32 ​​through the chain 34, thereby driving the large sprocket 32 ​​to rotate, thereby driving the flipping part 31 to flip, and the upper copper plate clamp 312 can also be clamped under the drive of the upper clamp driving part 313.

[0098] Embodiment three: like Figure 6 As shown, a control method for a cathode copper plate separation device comprises the steps of: S1: Start the device, initialize it, and send a signal to wait for the copper plate to be placed.

[0099] S2: After the copper plate is placed on the copper plate placement platform and fixed on one side, the adsorption mechanism pulls out an opening between the upper and lower copper plates.

[0100] S3: The opening is enlarged by separating the mechanism, and after fixing both sides of the lower copper plate, the opening is further enlarged.

[0101] S4: The flap mechanism clamps the upper copper plate and separates the upper and lower copper plates.

[0102] S5: The flip mechanism returns to its original position, releases the copper plate, and waits for the copper plate to be taken away. Then, the device resets and waits for the placement of a new copper plate.

[0103] S1 is specifically divided into the following steps: A1: Start the device, power on the device, and let the device start working.

[0104] A2: After the device is started, it will first detect whether there is a copper plate on the device. If there is no copper plate, it will proceed to the next step; if there is a copper plate, the device will stop running and send an error instruction to the worker, waiting for the worker to operate the device to remove the copper plate before executing the next step.

[0105] A3: Check whether the various components of the device, such as the adsorption mechanism, the separation mechanism, the upper copper plate clamp, the copper plate limit bar and the flip mechanism, are in the initial position. If the above devices are in the initial position, proceed to the next step; if not, reset the above mechanisms of the device and proceed to the next step.

[0106] A4: After initialization is completed, a signal is sent to the worker, and the copper plate is placed on the copper plate placement platform, and S2 is executed.

[0107] S2 is specifically divided into the following steps: B1: After the copper plate is placed on the copper plate placement platform, the copper plate limit bar on the copper plate placement platform rises to block the copper plate's retreat path, and then proceed to the next step.

[0108] B2: After the adsorption mechanism 11 moves to the top of the copper plate, the fixed suction cup falls down and sticks to the upper surface of the upper copper plate to adsorb the upper copper plate. After the fixed suction cup adsorbs the upper copper plate, the fixed suction cup lifts the upper copper plate upward, and after a smaller opening is pulled between the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate, S3 is executed.

[0109] S3 is divided into the following steps: C1: The opening knife is slightly extended into the opening by the linear drive assembly of the opening knife to initially expand the opening. When the gap between the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate is large enough that the lower copper plate clamp will not contact the upper copper plate when it is turned over and can fix the lower copper plate, the opening knife remains in the current position, and the lower copper plate clamp fixes the lower copper plate and the copper plate placement platform, and then the next step is performed.

[0110] C2: The opening knife is further extended from the opening to expand the size and angle of the opening, so that the height of the opening reaches more than half of the maximum thickness of the opening knife, and then S4 is executed.

[0111] S4 is specifically divided into the following steps: D1: The flip mechanism moves to the position of the copper plate limit bar, and the flip part starts to rotate toward the copper plate until the flip part covers the upper copper plate, and then executes the next step.

[0112] D2: The upper copper plate clamp on the flip part clamps the upper copper plate from the opening position, fixes the upper copper plate and the flip part, and then proceeds to the next step.

[0113] D3: The flipping part rotates back, that is, rotates in the direction away from the copper plate, until the flipping part returns to the initial position on the flipping mechanism, and after the separation of the upper and lower copper plates is completed, S5 is executed.

[0114] S5 is specifically divided into the following steps: E1: The flap mechanism returns to its initial position, the upper copper plate clamp opens to release the upper copper plate, and then proceed to the next step.

[0115] E2: Open the lower copper plate clamp, loosen the lower copper plate, and after the copper plate limit bar falls, proceed to the next step.

[0116] E3: Wait for the robot arm to take up the upper copper plate and the lower copper plate, and for the adsorption mechanism, the separation mechanism, the upper copper plate clamp, the copper plate limit bar and the flip mechanism to reset, then return to and execute A4.
