[0055] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0056] The principles and structure of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] In the remote control manufacturing and assembly process, conductive springs need to be installed in the battery compartment of the injection-molded rear shell to ensure reliable battery circuit continuity. Current processes face the following technical bottlenecks: the incoming coiled springs are in a continuous spiral winding state, requiring manual separation and positioning. In practice, operators must manually peel off individual springs and press them into slots. Due to the spiral winding structure, the manual separation process is cumbersome, requiring repeated adjustments; moreover, manual force can easily cause spring deformation, leading to poor contact with battery contacts or failure of the slot fit; furthermore, separation and pressing need to be done in separate steps, and the secondary positioning process prolongs the assembly cycle, affecting the overall efficiency of the production line. There is an urgent need to integrate the spring separation and pressing processes through automation improvements.

[0058] In this regard, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a roll material separation device for separating roll materials. The roll materials are formed by rolling the material belt 6, and the material belt 6 includes a packaging belt 63, materials (specifically springs 62) placed at intervals on the packaging belt, and an adhesive tape 61 that is attached to the packaging belt to fix the materials together.

[0059] The roll material separation device includes: a material tray frame 2, a conveyor wheel assembly, a bonding tape wheel assembly (or a bonding tape recovery wheel assembly), and a feeding unit 5. The material tray frame 2 has a placement position for holding the roll material, which can rotate freely around its own axis in the placement position to achieve continuous unwinding of the tape. The conveyor wheel assembly is arranged sequentially along the unwinding direction of the tape and is used to flatten the unwound tape and maintain the stability of the transmission path. The bonding tape recovery wheel assembly includes at least two recovery wheels, located above the end of the conveyor wheel assembly. The recovery wheels rotate to wrap the bonding tape peeled from the packaging tape surface; the peeling operation begins at the tape separation point corresponding to the end of the conveyor wheel assembly. The feeding unit 5 is installed between two adjacent recovery wheels of the bonding tape recovery wheel assembly, forming a material storage area inside. The feeding port 51 faces outwards, facilitating the removal of exposed material by a robotic arm or manual labor.

[0060] During operation, as the rolled material rotates and unfolds on the tray frame 2, its direction of travel is corrected by the conveyor wheel assembly, and wrinkles in the material belt are eliminated. When the material belt reaches the end of the conveyor wheel assembly, the bonding tape recovery wheel, through the traction force generated by its inclined installation, causes the bonding tape to gradually separate from the packaging tape along the inclined angle. At this time, the bonding tape moves upward, bringing the unpeeled material up synchronously to a position directly above the feed port 51. The mechanical gripper or a person can then grab the material from the feed port 51 to complete the material retrieval action. After the peeled bonding tape passes around the guide groove on the side wall of the feed port 51, it is wound and collected by the bonding tape recovery wheel 41; the packaging tape then hangs downward under the action of gravity (or the action of the recovery wheel).

[0061] This device employs a synchronized design between the bonding tape recovery wheel assembly and the conveyor wheel assembly to ensure that the bonding tape peeling action and the material conveying are simultaneous. The integrated layout of the feeding unit 5 and the recovery wheel assembly optimizes space utilization, allowing the material to immediately enter a ready-to-use state after peeling, thus shortening the feeding response time. During the bonding tape peeling process, the rotation speed of the recovery wheel assembly matches the conveying speed of the conveyor wheel assembly, preventing excessive stretching or breakage of the bonding tape. The open design of the feeding port 51 accommodates various material handling methods, enhancing the device's compatibility.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the material tray frame 2, the conveyor wheel assembly, the bonding tape recovery wheel 41, and the feeding unit 5 are all mounted on a vertically arranged back plate 1. The material tray frame 2 is fixed to the top of the vertical back plate 1 near the front end, and its rotation axis at the material placement position is perpendicular to the plane of the back plate 1. The conveyor wheel assembly is arranged laterally along the back plate 1, including a guide wheel 31 near the material tray frame 2 and multiple transverse transmission wheels 32. The guide wheel 31 is installed at a lower position at the front end of the back plate 1, and the multiple transverse transmission wheels 32 are distributed horizontally at intervals along the back plate 1, with their horizontal height all higher than the guide wheel 31. The bonding tape recovery wheel 41 is installed at the upper rear end of the back plate 1, and its rotation axis forms an inclined angle with the plane of the back plate 1. The feeding unit 5 is fixed at the upper rear end of the back plate 1 and is positioned below the bonding tape recovery wheel 41. Its feeding port 51 faces outward at the rear end, and a recovery guide wheel 42 of the bonding tape recovery wheel assembly is located below the feeding port 51. The recovery guide wheel 42 is located diagonally above the end transverse transmission wheel 32 and forms a separation angle with the axis of the transmission wheel.

[0063] When the rolled material unfolds from the tray frame 2, it first passes under the guide roller 31, forming a downward-arched arc section, and then winds around to the top of the transverse transfer roller 32, forming an upward-arched arc section. This alternating curved path causes the material belt to naturally generate periodic tension changes during transport, eliminating localized wrinkles. It disperses belt stress, reducing the risk of deformation or breakage due to single-point stress. This design simplifies the transfer roller assembly structure while improving the flatness and stability of the unfolded material belt, making it particularly suitable for continuous separation operations of flexible or easily deformable materials.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the leveling wheel 33 is located diagonally above the transverse transmission wheel 32 closest to the guide wheel 31, and its vertical position is adjustable to adapt to changes in the thickness of the material belt. Specifically, its fixed position can be changed by fixing it with screws. At least one of the multiple transverse transmission wheels 32 is a driving wheel, and the rest are driven wheels. The driving wheel pulls the material belt to move through a drive mechanism (e.g., a transmission motor 321).

[0065] The adjustable design of the flattening roller 33 can adapt to strips of different materials or thicknesses, ensuring that the surface flatness of the strip meets the accuracy requirements before peeling.

[0066] In a further embodiment, the feeding unit 5 is equipped with a positioning sensor. The positioning sensor is set at a preset detection position of the feeding port 51 and is fixed by embedded installation or an adjustable bracket. It is used to monitor in real time whether the material has reached the picking area of ​​the feeding port 51. The positioning sensor can adopt photoelectric sensing or infrared detection, and its sensing range covers the surface of the material temporary storage area corresponding to the feeding port 51.

[0067] During operation, when the material on the bonding belt 61 is conveyed to the feeding section 5 by the conveyor wheel assembly, the position sensor continuously scans the surface of the material storage area. If the material is detected to have reached the set position of the feeding port 51, the sensor triggers a signal and feeds it back to the control system, notifying the external equipment to perform the material picking action; if the material is not detected to have reached the set position, the subsequent peeling and conveying operations are delayed to avoid empty feeding or material accumulation.

[0068] This device utilizes precise detection by positioning sensors to ensure that separated materials remain in a stable, readily accessible position, preventing material handling failures due to insufficient material at the feed port 51 or material misalignment. The integrated design of the sensing signals and control system automates the feeding rhythm, reducing manual monitoring and improving the continuity of the separation operation.

[0069] Specifically, the roll material separation device proposed in this invention further includes a packaging tape recovery wheel (not shown in the figure). The packaging tape recovery wheel is located on the lower side of the end of the conveyor wheel assembly and is connected by an independent drive mechanism or a linkage transmission mechanism. It is used to wind the packaging tape after the bonding tape has been peeled off. The rotational speed of the packaging tape recovery wheel matches the conveying speed of the conveyor wheel assembly, ensuring that the packaging tape remains taut after the material is peeled off and is smoothly recovered along a preset path. After the bonding tape is peeled off by the recovery wheel assembly, the packaging tape continues to move towards the end of the conveyor wheel assembly. The packaging tape recovery wheel starts synchronously and rotates at the same linear speed as the conveyor wheel assembly, pulling the peeled packaging tape downward from the end of the conveyor wheel assembly and neatly winding it around the surface of the recovery wheel.

[0070] By adding a packaging tape recycling wheel, bidirectional independent recycling of the packaging tape and the bonding tape can be achieved, avoiding the difficulties in subsequent processing caused by the mixing and entanglement of the two materials. The independent drive design of the packaging tape recycling wheel can adjust the recycling tension according to actual needs, preventing the packaging tape from becoming loose or overstretched during the recycling process.

[0071] Preferably, the recycling wheel in the bonding tape recycling wheel assembly is located on the upper side of the end of the conveyor wheel assembly, and its rotation direction and speed are controlled by an independent drive mechanism; the packaging tape recycling wheel is located on the lower side of the end of the conveyor wheel assembly, and its axis is symmetrically distributed vertically with the axis of the bonding tape recycling wheel 41. The winding direction of the bonding tape recycling wheel 41 is opposite to the rotation direction of the packaging tape recycling wheel, so that the peeled bonding tape is wound upward and the packaging tape is wound downward, forming a vertical spatial separation path at the end of the conveyor wheel assembly. When the material belt moves to the end of the conveyor wheel assembly, the bonding tape recycling wheel 41 and the packaging tape recycling wheel start synchronously. The bonding tape recycling wheel 41 rotates upward at a speed matching the material belt conveying, vertically pulling and separating the peeled bonding tape from the surface of the packaging tape; at the same time, the packaging tape recycling wheel rotates downward at the same linear speed, pulling and recycling the peeled packaging tape from the lower side of the end of the conveyor wheel assembly. The synchronous action of the two ensures that there is no residual traction between the bonding tape and the packaging tape at the separation point, and that the recycling paths do not interfere with each other.

[0072] The symmetrical layout of the bonding tape and packaging tape recycling wheels enables vertical spatial separation and recycling of the two materials, completely eliminating the risk of entanglement and mixing. The upward winding path of the bonding tape and the downward winding path of the packaging tape form a bidirectional recycling channel, optimizing the streamlined working space after material separation. The independent drive design of the dual recycling wheels allows for separate adjustment of winding tension, adapting to the mechanical properties of different bonding tape and packaging tape materials, preventing material tearing or slippage.

[0073] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the present invention also proposes a remote control spring mounting mechanism, including the spring separation device of the above-mentioned roll material separation device, and an insertion mechanism for clamping the spring from the feed port 51 and mounting it onto the remote control. Wherein: the feed port 51 of the roll material separation device has a vertical slot structure for directional output of continuous springs.

[0074] The insertion mechanism includes a gripper assembly 71, a pressing assembly 72, and a moving assembly 73. Both the gripper assembly 71 and the pressing assembly 72 are fixed to the bottom surface of a horizontally positioned mounting plate 735. The gripper assembly 71 is used to grip the spring. The pressing assembly 72 includes a pre-pressurization cylinder and a final-pressurization cylinder. The pre-pressurization cylinder has a pre-pressurization head at its end, and the final-pressurization cylinder has a wedge-shaped guide block at its end. The two are arranged laterally at intervals along the bottom surface of the mounting plate 735. The moving assembly 73 includes a horizontal moving module and a vertical lifting module. The horizontal moving module drives the mounting plate 735 to translate between the feeding port 51 and the remote control assembly station. The vertical lifting module controls the lifting stroke of the gripper assembly 71 and the pressing assembly 72.

[0075] This mechanism ensures the spring remains axially stable during transfer by engaging vertically with the gripper assembly 71 through a vertical slot. The step-by-step design of pre-pressing and final pressing allows for precise control of the assembly angle. The compact layout of the bottom surface of the horizontal mounting plate 735 enables the clamping and pressing actions to be completed continuously in a single movement, significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0076] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the gripper assembly 71 is mounted on the mounting plate 735 and includes a fixed gripping block 711 and a movable gripping cylinder (or a feed motor). The fixed gripping block 711 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 735 near the center, and has a vertical gripping surface 7111 machined on one side. The movable gripping cylinder is horizontally mounted on the side of the fixed gripping block 711, and its piston rod is connected to a movable gripping block 712. The movable gripping block 712 is inverted U-shaped, and its two parallel gripping portions 7122 extend downwards to form a cantilever structure. The distance between the two gripping portions 7122 matches the distance between the two elastic portions of a spring. The movable gripping cylinder can drive the movable gripping block 712 to move horizontally, causing the two gripping portions 7122 to form a closed or open state with the gripping surface 7111 of the fixed gripping block 711. When the cylinder retracts, the two clamping parts 7122 simultaneously approach the clamping surface 7111 and clamp the spring from both sides; when the cylinder extends, the clamping parts 7122 separate from the clamping surface 7111 and release the spring.

[0077] This structure achieves interference-free insertion and material handling of the gripper assembly 71 through the space avoidance design between the inverted U-shaped clamping part 7122 and the vertical slot. The cantilevered clamping part 7122 shortens the clamping lever arm, improves clamping stability, and reduces the overall size of the mechanism.

[0078] In specific embodiments, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the pressing component 72 includes a pre-pressing part and a pressing part.

[0079] The clamping surface 7111 of the fixed clamping block 711 has an inclined surface above it, forming a wedge-shaped space that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom between the fixed clamping block 711 and the movable clamping block 712. The pre-pressing part includes a vertically arranged pre-pressing cylinder, the piston rod of which is equipped with a pre-pressing block 721. In the initial contracted state of the pre-pressing cylinder, the pre-pressing block 721 hangs above the inclined surface of the movable clamping block 712. The pressing part includes a pressing cylinder that is vertically fixed to the side of the mounting plate 735, the piston rod of which is equipped with a pressing block 722.

[0080] When the movable clamping cylinder drives the inverted U-shaped movable clamping block 712 to move laterally backward and release the spring, the pre-pressing cylinder drives the pre-pressing block 721 to press vertically downward. It passes vertically through the gap between the movable clamping block 712 and the fixed clamping block 711, applying pre-pressure to the top of the spring. Subsequently, the pressing cylinder drives the pressing block 722 to thrust downward at high speed, pressing the spring completely into the snap-fit ​​structure of the remote control mounting slot.

[0081] The structure, through the inclined surface design above the fixed clamping block 711, provides a vertical pressing channel for the pre-pressing block 721. The pre-pressing block 721 and the inclined surface are fitted with a clearance to ensure no structural interference during the pre-pressing stage. The vertical superposition of pre-pressing and final pressing effectively improves the verticality and reliability of the spring assembly.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, the moving component 73 includes: an X-axis translation module 731, a Y-axis translation module 732, a Z-axis feed motor 733, a rotary motor 734, and a mounting plate 735.

[0083] The Y-axis translation module 732 has its guide rail horizontally fixed on the frame base. The X-axis translation module 731 is vertically mounted on the moving end of the Y-axis translation module 732 via a slider and is driven by the Y-axis translation module 732 to move laterally along the Y-axis. The Z-axis feed motor 733 is horizontally fixed to the moving end of the X-axis translation module 731 via a bracket. A rotary motor 734 is mounted at the end of its output shaft and is driven by the X-axis translation module 731 to move longitudinally along the X-axis. The housing of the rotary motor 734 is connected to the output shaft flange of the Z-axis feed motor 733. Its rotation shaft extends vertically downward and is rigidly connected to the mounting plate 735, allowing the mounting plate 735 to be vertically raised and lowered with the Z-axis feed motor 733, while the angle of the rotary motor 734 can be adjusted around the Z-axis.

[0084] During operation, the Y-axis translation module 732 first drives the XZ-axis assembly to move laterally above the feed port 51 of the roll material separating device. The Z-axis feed motor 733 lowers the mounting plate 735, causing the gripper assembly 71 to insert into the vertical slot to pick up the material. After picking up the material, the X-axis translation module 731 moves longitudinally to the remote control assembly station, and the rotary motor 734 adjusts the orientation of the mounting plate 735 according to the angle of the mounting slot. When the Z-axis feed motor 733 lowers for the second time, the gripper assembly 71 releases the spring and, in conjunction with the translation operation, is assembled by the pressing assembly 72. Subsequently, all modules work together to reset and enter the next cycle.

[0085] This structure achieves precise positioning and angle adaptation of the gripper assembly 71 and the pressing assembly 72 in three-dimensional space through a combination of three-axis translation and rotation degrees of freedom. The linkage design between the rotary motor 734 and the Z-axis lifting mechanism allows for synchronous adjustment of the spring assembly angle during vertical pressing, accommodating the mounting slots of different remote control models. The multi-module composite motion path planning ensures collision-free transfer of the spring throughout the entire process from separation to assembly, significantly improving the assembly compatibility of complex structural products.
