For the convenience of transportation and storage, composite sheets are usually wound into circular coils by a winder. However, at present, the coil offline process in most domestic composite sheet production workshops mainly relies on manual operation, usually completing the coil offline and stacking by manual hoisting or in combination with a robotic arm. A production workshop usually configures multiple production lines, and the coil specifications produced by different production lines are different. Therefore, according to the requirements of the blade production process, these different specifications of coils need to be classified, sorted, and stacked.

[0043] In the wind power industry, composite plates are used to produce blades. However, the current offline and stacking of coiled materials in the production workshop mainly rely on manual operations, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, high cost, and it is difficult to achieve precise classification and stacking, and cannot meet the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale production.
[0044] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide an automated device for offline and stacking of composite plate coiled materials, which realizes the improvement of the automation and intelligent level of the offline process of composite plates, reduces manual intervention, and improves efficiency and accuracy.
[0045] Specifically, the above-mentioned automatic equipment for stacking the off-line coiled composite plates realizes an efficient automatic production process through multiple automatic modules and an intelligent control system. First, the equipment automatically completes steps such as clamping, flipping, and conveying of the coiled material through components such as the coiling machine 2, the automatic guided vehicle, and the formed coiled material flipping structure 110, reducing manual intervention. In particular, the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coiled material clamping fixture and the stacking guided vehicle can accurately transport the coiled material to the designated position and complete the stacking process through the stacking fixture, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the stacking. At the same time, the first load detection structure 13 and various driving devices in the equipment ensure the precise control and stable operation of the coiled material. Through these automatic links, the overall production efficiency is improved, operation errors are reduced, and a high level of intelligence is achieved, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the production process.
[0046] To better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings in the specification and specific implementation manners.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , an automatic equipment for stacking the off-line coiled composite plates, comprising: a coiling machine 2, an automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coiled material clamping fixture, a formed coiled material flipping structure 110, a conveyor 120, a coiled material taking platform 130, a stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking coiled material fixture, and a pallet 50. The coiling machine 2 is used for placing the formed coiled material 1; the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coiled material clamping fixture is used for clamping the formed coiled material 1 on the coiling machine 2 and moving it to the position where the formed coiled material flipping structure 110 is located, and placing the formed coiled material 1 on the formed coiled material flipping structure 110; the formed coiled material flipping structure 110 is used for flipping the formed coiled material 1 and transmitting it to the coiled material taking platform 130 by the conveyor 120; the stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking coiled material fixture is used for taking the formed coiled material 1 from the coiled material taking platform 130 and moving it to the pallet 50 for stacking.
[0048] In this embodiment, the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coiled material clamping fixture is responsible for clamping the formed coiled material 1 from the coiling machine 2 and transporting it to the formed coiled material flipping structure 110; the formed coiled material flipping structure 110 flips the coiled material from the vertical state to the horizontal direction; the conveyor 120 transports the flipped coiled material to the coiled material taking platform 130. The coiled material taking platform 130 provides a coiled material receiving position for the stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking coiled material fixture. The stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking coiled material fixture is responsible for stacking the coiled material to the designated storage position.
[0049] By improving the automation, intelligence, and accuracy of the production line of composite boards, the problems in the prior art such as relying on manual operation, low efficiency, insufficient accuracy, and high human resource costs are solved. Specifically, the present invention provides a function device, application method, and system for taking, transporting, and stacking composite boards, which are specifically applied to the production of composite boards, aiming to optimize and improve production efficiency and management level.
[0050] The application object is mainly the wind power industry. In the composite board production workshop, the process of uncoiling composite boards is completed automatically and intelligently. The working process of the system is as follows: The automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil-taking fixture clamps the formed coil 1 from the coiler 2 of the composite board production line, transports it to the formed coil flipping structure 110, and the formed coil flipping structure 110 flips the coil 90°. Then, the coil is transported to the coil-taking platform 130 through the conveyor 120. The stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking fixture goes to the coil-taking platform 130 to take the coil and stack it. The system also integrates a warehouse management system (WMS), a warehouse control system (WCS), and a production management system (MES). Through production information and manual PDA orders, the automatic uncoiling of the composite board production line is realized, and the coils are classified, sorted, and stacked according to production information.
[0051] It solves multiple problems in the traditional manual uncoiling operation: Long-term manual work may lead to reduced efficiency and increased errors; In a large-scale production environment, the labor cost is high, and the overall operation efficiency is low. Through the present invention, the uncoiling process in the composite board workshop has achieved automation and intelligence, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
[0052] The layout of the equipment in this embodiment on the entire production line is as Figure 2 shown, including the docking platform of the stacking guided vehicle 140 with a stacking fixture, the stacking AGV for stacking the formed coil 1, the AGV charging area, the stacking inventory area of the formed coil 1, and the control center. The specific process is as follows:
[0053] Dispatch the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil-taking fixture to the coiler 2 station; Manually bundle and tie the coil, and confirm whether the coil-taking condition is met; The automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil-taking fixture checks whether the coil-taking condition is met. If it is met, the coil is clamped; If not, wait. After the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil-taking fixture clamps the coil, it transports it to the formed coil flipping structure 110 for unloading.
[0054] The formed coil flipping structure 110 flips the coil from the vertical state to the horizontal state. The conveyor 120 transports the flipped coil to the coil-taking platform 130.
[0055] The stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture is on standby, and the operator manually confirms whether the stacking conditions are met; if the conditions are met, the stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture transports the coil to the designated stacking position.
[0056] After each link is completed, the system will receive relevant operation feedback to ensure the completion of the next coil task.
[0057] The automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil picking fixture first receives a task, goes to the coiling machine 2 to pick up the coil, and after completion, transports it to the formed coil flipping structure 110; the formed coil flipping structure 110 flips the coil by 90°, and transports it to the coil picking platform 130 through the conveyor 120; after receiving the information, the stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture confirms the stacking conditions and completes the stacking operation.
[0058] The automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil picking fixture performs the coil picking operation by judging whether the coil picking conditions are met, and feeds back to the system after completion. The formed coil flipping structure 110 turns the coil to the horizontal direction, and the conveyor 120 completes the coil transfer. The stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture stacks the coil to the designated storage area according to the system instruction.
[0059] Through this process, the system can efficiently complete the tasks of coil offline, transportation and stacking, ensuring the automatic and intelligent operation of the whole production process.
[0060] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 , the automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil picking fixture includes a coil picking automatic guided vehicle and a coil picking fixture 10. Among them, the coil picking fixture 10 includes: a bracket 16, a coil picking structure, a first load detection structure 13 and a driving structure 14; the coil picking structure is assembled on one side of the bracket 16, the driving structure 14 is assembled on the bracket 16, and the driving structure 14 is connected to the coil picking structure; the first load detection structure 13 is assembled on the coil picking structure. The coil picking automatic guided vehicle includes: a first AGV body 21, a lifting mechanism 22, and a scissor lift mechanism 23. The lifting mechanism 22 is assembled on the first AGV body 21, and the scissor lift mechanism 23 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22. The bracket 16 is connected to the scissor lift mechanism 23.
[0061] In this embodiment, the bracket 16 is the support structure of the entire coil picking fixture 10, which provides fixation and support for each component of the fixture. The structural design of the bracket 16 needs to ensure the stability of the fixture during operation, and it can withstand a certain weight and force to facilitate efficient coil loading and unloading operations.
[0062] The material taking structure is the most crucial part of the coiling fixture 10, which includes an upper material taking claw 11 and a lower material taking claw 12. The upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are installed on one side of the bracket 16 and are usually connected to the bracket 16 through linear guide railsliders, so that the clamping and releasing actions can be completed under the action of the driving structure 14. By controlling the opening and retraction of the upper and lower material taking claws 12, the material taking structure can clamp or release the coiled material, thus realizing the grasping and releasing of the coiled material.
[0063] In the material taking structure, the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are respectively connected to a left-handed nut 145 and a right-handed nut 147. Under the action of the driving motor 141, through the forward and reverse rotation of the screw rod 146, the material taking claws are driven to open and retract synchronously. This can ensure that the fixture can effectively hold the coiled material and complete the material taking operation.
[0064] The first load detection structure 13 is used to detect whether the material taking claws have correctly held the coiled material. This structure is completed through a compression spring connected to the material taking claws and a first detection plate 131. When the material taking claws clamp the coiled material, the coiled material will compress the spring, causing the first detection plate 131 to move and trigger the first proximity switch 134, generating a signal to confirm that the coiled material has been clamped. On the contrary, when the material taking claws are released, the spring will rebound, the first detection plate 131 will return to its original position, and the first proximity switch 134 will disconnect the signal to confirm that the coiled material has been released.
[0065] The driving structure 14 is the power source of the entire coiling fixture 10. It mainly consists of a driving motor 141, a reducer 142, a coupling 143, a screw rod 146, etc. The driving motor 141 drives the reducer 142, and then drives the rotation of the screw rod 146. The screw rod 146 is connected to the left-handed nut 145 and the right-handed nut 147 of the material taking claws. Through the rotation of the screw rod 146, the opening and closing movement of the material taking claws is driven, so as to realize the clamping and releasing of the coiled material.
[0066] The driving motor 141 drives the screw rod 146 to rotate forward and backward, driving the material taking claws to open and retract synchronously. This action can be adjusted as needed to adapt to coiled materials of different specifications. Through the spring and the first detection plate 131 of the first load detection structure 13, the fixture can monitor in real time whether the coiled material is correctly clamped and ensure that the fixture will not release the coiled material during the handling process. The synchronous action of the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 ensures that the fixture can stably grasp and release the coiled material without damaging the coiled material.
[0067] The camera device 15 judges in real time whether the docking position of the coiling fixture 10 is accurate by scanning the QR code. This enables the fixture to accurately dock with the coiled material and ensures the accuracy of the operation.
[0068] In summary, the design concept of the coil clamping fixture 10 is to realize the automatic loading and unloading and handling of coils during the production process of composite plates by integrating the drive structure 14, the material taking structure, the first load detection structure 13 and the camera 151 positioning system, which can improve production efficiency and reduce the complexity and risk of manual operation.
[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , the above-mentioned material taking structure includes an upper material taking claw 11, a lower material taking claw 12 and a sliding component, and the sliding component is connected to the bracket 16; the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are respectively connected to the sliding component; the first load detection structure 13 is respectively assembled on the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12.
[0070] In this embodiment, the functions of the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are to clamp or pick up and place the coil to be processed.
[0071] In one embodiment, an upper baffle extends upward from the outer end of the upper material taking claw 11, and a lower baffle extends downward from the outer end of the lower material taking claw 12, and the upper baffle and the lower baffle can block the formed coil 1.
[0072] The sliding component is connected to the bracket 16, and the function of the sliding component is to support the vertical or other directional sliding movements of the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12, ensuring the smooth progress of the material taking process.
[0073] These claws are also equipped with the first load detection structure 13, which can detect whether the coil has been picked up to ensure the normal operation of the fixture.
[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , the above-mentioned sliding component includes a slide rail and a slider, the slide rail is connected to the bracket 16; the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail; the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are respectively connected to the slider.
[0075] In this embodiment, the slide rail is fixed to the bracket 16 to provide a sliding path.
[0076] The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail and can freely slide on the slide rail along a specific track. The upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are respectively connected to the slider, and the movement of the slider is used to adjust the height or position of the material taking claw, so as to achieve the purpose of material taking.
[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 9, the above-mentioned first cargo detection structure 13 includes a first detection plate 131, a first elastic member 132, a first proximity switch 134, a first connecting rod 133, and a first housing 135. The first detection plate 131 is connected above the first housing 135, and the first elastic member 132 is inserted into the first housing 135; and the upper end of the first elastic member 132 extends outside the first housing 135 and is connected to the first detection plate 131; the first connecting rod 133 passes through the first elastic member 132, and the upper end of the first connecting rod 133 is connected to the first detection plate 131; the first proximity switch 134 is located on one side of the first housing 135, and the first housing 135 is assembled on the material taking structure.
[0078] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , the above-mentioned first elastic member 132 includes a spring.
[0079] In this embodiment, the design purpose of the first cargo detection structure 13 is to detect whether a coil or an item has been clamped, so as to ensure that when the material taking fixture performs a material taking operation, it can accurately judge whether the material has been grasped. The first detection plate 131 is one of the key components of the first cargo detection structure 13. Its main function is to contact the coil, and judge whether an item has been clamped by the change of its position or state. The first detection plate 131 is usually installed above the first housing 135 so as to be in direct contact with the material. The first detection plate 131 can be offset according to the weight or position change of the coil, and transmit a signal to the first proximity switch 134.
[0080] When the material is clamped, the position of the first detection plate 131 will change, triggering the first proximity switch 134, and the system can judge whether the material has been clamped.
[0081] The first elastic member 132 is a spring installed between the first detection plate 131 and the first housing 135, and plays a role in providing a restoring force. When the first detection plate 131 is displaced due to the contact of the material, the first elastic member 132 will provide an elastic force to make the first detection plate 131 return to its original position. The spring can ensure that the first detection plate 131 is always in the initial state when there is no material, and when the material is clamped, the first detection plate 131 can be offset, thereby triggering the corresponding detection signal.
[0082] The function of the first elastic member 132 is to enable the first detection plate 131 to respond flexibly when the material is clamped and return to its original position after the material is taken away, so as to ensure the accuracy and stability of each detection.
[0083] The first proximity switch 134 is a sensing component in the first cargo detection structure 13. It is located on one side of the first housing 135 and is used to detect the position change of the first detection plate 131. The first proximity switch 134 can sense the offset or contact state of the first detection plate 131. When the first detection plate 131 changes due to the contact of the material, the first proximity switch 134 will send a signal to feedback to the control system whether the material has been clamped.
[0084] The first proximity switch 134 is responsible for real-time monitoring of the position change of the first detection plate 131. It will send a signal when the first detection plate 131 offsets, so as to judge whether the material has been clamped. Through this signal, the system can judge whether the material taking process is proceeding smoothly.
[0085] The first connecting rod 133 is used to connect the first elastic member 132 and the first detection plate 131. It penetrates through the spring and links the first detection plate 131 with other components (such as the driving structure 14). The function of the first connecting rod 133 is to transmit the elastic force of the first elastic member 132 to the first detection plate 131 and transmit the movement of the first detection plate 131 to the first proximity switch 134. Its design ensures a tight connection between the first detection plate 131 and the spring, ensuring that the system can work properly during the material clamping process.
[0086] The first connecting rod 133 is connected to the first detection plate 131 through the spring, ensuring that the elastic force of the spring can effectively act on the first detection plate 131, and at the same time transmitting the movement of the first detection plate 131 to the first proximity switch 134 to help complete the monitoring of the material taking process.
[0087] The first housing 135 serves as the external framework of the first cargo detection structure 13, mainly playing a role in support and protection. All components are assembled within the first housing 135. The first housing 135 not only provides support for these components, but also ensures their stability during use and avoids the influence of external factors on their performance.
[0088] The function of the first housing 135 is to provide a stable structure to accommodate and protect the internal components such as the first detection plate 131, the spring, and the first proximity switch 134, ensuring that they can accurately and stably perform the cargo detection task.
[0089] The first detection plate 131 is installed above the first housing 135, ensuring direct contact with the item to be detected. The first elastic member 132 is inserted into the first housing 135, and its upper end extends outside the first housing 135 and is connected to the first detection plate 131, serving to restore the position of the first detection plate 131. The first connecting rod 133 penetrates the spring, and its upper end is connected to the first detection plate 131, ensuring that the elastic force of the spring can be transmitted to the first detection plate 131. The first proximity switch 134 is installed on one side of the first housing 135, responsible for monitoring the position change of the first detection plate 131 in real time.
[0090] The first load detection structure 13 in this embodiment is ingeniously designed by combining components such as a spring, the first detection plate 131, the first connecting rod 133, and the first proximity switch 134. Through the elastic force provided by the spring, it ensures the flexible response and recovery ability of the first detection plate 131 during the item clamping process. The first proximity switch 134 can timely feedback whether the item has been clamped, helping the entire system to work efficiently and accurately. The first housing 135 plays a role in supporting, protecting, and stabilizing the components, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0091] The first load detection structure 13 is respectively fixed on the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12, and opens with the movement of the material taking claws. When contacting the coiled material, the first detection plate 131 moves by compressing the spring. The first detection plate 131 triggers the first proximity switch 134 to determine whether the coiled material is clamped in place; when the material taking claws retract, the spring rebounds and the first detection plate 131 moves back to its original position, and the first proximity switch 134 disconnects the signal.
[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , the above-mentioned driving structure 14 includes a driving motor 141, a reduction gear 142, a coupling 143, a screw rod fixing seat 144, a screw rod 146, and a connecting member; the upper material taking claw 11 and the lower material taking claw 12 are respectively connected to the connecting member. The driving motor 141 is connected to the reduction gear 142, the reduction gear 142 is connected to the screw rod 146 through the coupling 143, both ends of the screw rod 146 are connected to the screw rod fixing seat 144, and the screw rod fixing seat 144 is fixed to the bracket 16, and the connecting member is connected to the screw rod 146.
[0093] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the above-mentioned connecting member includes a left-handed nut 145 and a right-handed nut 147; the upper material taking claw 11 is connected to the left-handed nut 145, and the lower material taking claw 12 is connected to the right-handed nut 147.
[0094] In this embodiment, in this embodiment, the design of the driving structure 14 and the material taking claws is mainly to achieve automated material taking operations, ensuring that the material can be clamped and moved efficiently and accurately.
[0095] The drive motor 141 is the core component of the entire drive system and is responsible for providing the power source. It usually converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the movement of other components. The rotation of the motor is adjusted to the required speed and torque through the action of the reduction gear 142 for the other components of the drive system.
[0096] The function of the reduction gear 142 is to convert the high-speed rotation output by the drive motor 141 into a lower speed suitable for actual operation and increase the output torque. The reduction gear 142 is connected to the drive motor 141 and transmits the movement to the screw rod 146 through the coupling 143.
[0097] The coupling 143 serves to connect the reduction gear 142 and the screw rod 146, ensuring the power transmission between the two. The coupling 143 can effectively transmit the torque and allow for a certain degree of error adjustment in the system, thus avoiding damage caused by installation deviation or shaft alignment problems.
[0098] The screw rod 146 is one of the core components of the drive system, which converts rotational motion into linear motion. Both ends of the screw rod 146 are fixed on the screw rod fixing seat 144. The rotation of the screw rod 146 drives the material-taking claws connected to it to move up and down. By rotating the screw rod 146, the system can precisely adjust the upper material-taking claw 11 and the lower material-taking claw 12.
[0099] The screw rod fixing seat 144 is used to fix the screw rod 146 to ensure the stability of the screw rod 146 during movement. Both ends of the screw rod 146 are connected to the screw rod fixing seat 144, and the screw rod fixing seat 144 is further fixed on the bracket 16 to provide a stable support for the entire drive system.
[0100] The connecting piece is for the part connecting the screw rod 146 and the material-taking claws. Through the connecting piece, the linear motion of the screw rod 146 can directly affect the actions of the upper material-taking claw 11 and the lower material-taking claw 12, thus realizing the clamping and placement of materials.
[0101] The material-taking claws include the upper material-taking claw 11 and the lower material-taking claw 12, which are respectively connected to the screw rod 146 through connecting pieces and cooperate with different nuts.
[0102] The upper material-taking claw 11 is responsible for grasping the upper part of the material to ensure accurate clamping of the material. It is connected to the screw rod 146 through the left-handed nut 145. The rotation of the screw rod 146 pushes the left-handed nut 145 to move, thereby driving the upper material-taking claw 11 to move up and down. When the left-handed nut 145 moves in a certain direction under the rotational drive of the screw rod 146, the upper material-taking claw 11 will also move accordingly to complete the clamping or placement task.
[0103] The lower material grabbing claw 12 is responsible for grabbing the lower part of the material and is opposite to the upper material grabbing claw 11. It is connected to the screw rod 146 through a right-handed nut 147. The rotation of the screw rod 146 causes the right-handed nut 147 to move on the screw rod 146, thereby driving the up and down movement of the lower material grabbing claw 12. Similar to the upper material grabbing claw 11, when the right-handed nut 147 rotates along the screw rod 146, the lower material grabbing claw 12 will also move accordingly to complete the picking and placing operations of the material.
[0104] The left-handed nut 145 and the right-handed nut 147 are designed to ensure that the upper material grabbing claw 11 and the lower material grabbing claw 12 can move synchronously and in opposite directions, thereby realizing the clamping operation. By using the left-handed and right-handed nuts 147 respectively, when the left-handed nut 145 moves along the screw rod 146, the upper material grabbing claw 11 rises; while the right-handed nut 147 drives the lower material grabbing claw 12 to descend, and vice versa. This reverse movement ensures that the material can be accurately clamped and moved.
[0105] The driving motor 141 starts to operate. After being decelerated by the speed reducer 142, it drives the coupling 143 to rotate. The coupling 143 transmits the power to the screw rod 146, and the screw rod 146 starts to rotate. The rotating screw rod 146 drives the left-handed nut 145 and the right-handed nut 147 to move along its axis. The left-handed nut 145 drives the upper material grabbing claw 11 to move up and down, and the right-handed nut 147 drives the lower material grabbing claw 12 to move up and down. The up and down movements of the upper material grabbing claw 11 and the lower material grabbing claw 12 complete the clamping and releasing operations of the material.
[0106] In this embodiment, the screw rod 146 is, but not limited to, a ball screw rod.
[0107] The drive structure 14 in this embodiment adopts a design that combines a motor, a speed reducer 142, a screw rod 146, and a nut system, ensuring that the material grabbing claws can move accurately and synchronously, thereby efficiently completing the clamping and releasing tasks of the material. Through the design of the left-handed and right-handed nuts 147, the system realizes the reverse synchronous movement of the upper and lower material grabbing claws 12, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
[0108] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 7 to 8 , the above-mentioned coil taking fixture 10 further includes a camera device 15, and the camera device 15 is assembled on the bracket 16.
[0109] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , the above-mentioned camera device 15 includes a camera 151 and a mounting base 152; the mounting base 152 is connected to the bracket 16; the camera 151 is connected to the mounting base 152.
[0110] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8, the above camera device 15 further includes an adjustment plate 153 and a second elastic member 154; one end of the second elastic member 154 is connected to the mounting base 152; the other end of the second elastic member 154 is connected to the adjustment plate 153; the camera 151 is assembled on the adjustment plate 153.
[0111] In this embodiment, the camera 151 is the core component of the system, responsible for scanning the two-dimensional code of the target object and obtaining image information. In this embodiment, the camera 151 is mainly used to identify the two-dimensional code on the roll-taking device to further determine whether the roll-taking fixture 10 is docked to the correct position.
[0112] The mounting base 152 is used to firmly connect the camera 151 to the bracket 16. It provides a fixed structure to ensure that the camera 151 remains stable during operation, avoiding inaccurate images caused by vibration or improper operation. The connection between the mounting base 152 and the bracket 16 ensures that the camera 151 can operate at a specific position.
[0113] The adjustment plate 153 allows the camera 151 to be finely adjusted to ensure that the camera 151 can be adjusted to the best viewing angle for scanning. The design of the adjustment plate 153 enables the user to easily adjust the position and angle of the camera 151, thus ensuring higher accuracy when scanning the two-dimensional code.
[0114] One end of the second elastic member 154 (usually a spring or other flexible material) is connected to the mounting base 152, and the other end is connected to the adjustment plate 153. Its function is to provide elastic support for fine adjustment, enabling the adjustment plate 153 to be adjusted slightly without using tools. This elastic support can ensure that the camera 151 always remains in the best position and avoid position deviation caused by misoperation or environmental factors.
[0115] The installation and adjustment of the camera device 15 are very important parts of the entire system. The operation of the camera device 15 depends on its ability to accurately dock and scan the target object. The camera 151 is fixed to the mounting base 152 through connection structures such as screws or clamps. The function of the mounting base 152 is to fix the camera 151 on the bracket 16 to ensure its stable position.
[0116] The mounting base 152 is connected to the bracket 16 through an appropriate structure (such as a threaded connection or a card slot). The bracket 16 is the framework of the roll-taking fixture 10, and the stability of the bracket 16 ensures that the camera 151 can perform scanning operations accurately and stably.
[0117] Of course, in another embodiment, one end of the second elastic member 154 is connected to the mounting base 152, and the other end is connected to the adjusting plate 153. This enables the adjusting plate 153 to be adjusted flexibly. The fine-tuning function of the adjusting plate 153 allows the user to adjust the angle of the camera 151 as needed to ensure that it can always scan the QR code and obtain a clear image.
[0118] The camera 151 is fixed by the adjusting plate 153. The design of the adjusting plate 153 provides sufficient flexibility, enabling the camera 151 to be accurately positioned and adjusted according to different operating environments.
[0119] The core function of the camera device 15 is to determine the docking position of the take-up fixture 10 by scanning the QR code. The working principle is as follows:
[0120] The camera 151 obtains relevant information by scanning the QR code on the take-up device. The QR code may contain data such as position information, material type, operating status, etc. The camera 151 decodes the QR code and transmits the recognition result to the control system.
[0121] Based on the QR code image captured by the camera 151, the system will determine whether the take-up fixture 10 is docked to the correct position. If the QR code information indicates that the docking position of the fixture and the device is inaccurate, the system can adjust the position of the fixture through a feedback mechanism.
[0122] If the system detects that the position of the take-up fixture 10 is inaccurate, the camera 151 will adjust the angle and position of the camera 151 in real time based on the image information it obtains, in order to obtain a more accurate QR code image and thus complete the correction of the docking position.
[0123] The adjusting plate 153 provides the fine-tuning function of the camera 151 in this process. If the position of the QR code is not ideal, the adjusting plate 153 can adjust the angle of the camera 151 so that the camera 151 can scan a clearer and more accurate QR code image.
[0124] The second elastic member 154 provides elastic support for the camera 151 and the adjusting plate 153, ensuring the accuracy and stability during the adjustment process. The elastic member allows the camera 151 to be fine-tuned within a certain range to adapt to different scanning requirements.
[0125] The precise scanning ability of the camera 151 ensures the accurate interpretation of the QR code, guaranteeing the precise judgment of the docking position of the coil-taking fixture 10. The design of the adjusting plate 153 and the second elastic member 154 enables the camera 151 to be flexibly adjusted. Whether in the vertical or horizontal direction, it can ensure that the scanning angle and position reach the optimal state. Through the stable connection of the mounting seat 152 and the bracket 16, the camera device 15 remains stable during operation, is not easily interfered by the external environment, and guarantees the efficiency of the vision guidance system. The fine adjustment of the adjusting plate 153 and the support of the second elastic member 154 make the adjustment process very simple, without the need for additional tools, greatly enhancing the usability.
[0126] In this embodiment, the camera device 15 in this embodiment enables the coil-taking fixture 10 to accurately judge the docking position through reasonable design. The camera 151 obtains data by scanning the QR code and, combined with the fine adjustment function of the adjusting plate 153 and the second elastic member 154, ensures the stability and efficiency of the vision system. These designs enhance the automation, precision, and flexibility of the entire coil-taking fixture 10, improving the working efficiency and accuracy of the system.
[0127] The above-mentioned coil-taking fixture 10 achieves the efficient automation of coil taking through the coordinated work of the bracket 16, the material-taking structure, the first load detection structure 13, and the drive structure 14. The material-taking structure is assembled on one side of the bracket 16, the drive structure 14 is connected to the material-taking structure, and the first load detection structure 13 is assembled on the material-taking structure, which can accurately identify the coil and quickly take it out through the drive structure 14, reducing the manual operation time and human errors. At the same time, it ensures the accuracy and consistency of the coil-taking process, greatly improving the production efficiency.
[0128] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned first AGV body 21 includes a dual-steering-wheel-driven AGV.
[0129] The first AGV body 21 is the core part of the entire automatic guided vehicle and has a dual-steering-wheel drive system, which is convenient for precise control of the direction. Through the dual-steering-wheel drive, the AGV can perform various complex motion modes, including:
[0130] Forward and backward: The traditional forward and backward movements;
[0131] Cross movement and diagonal movement: enabling the first AGV body 21 to move flexibly in a narrow space;
[0132] Spin walking: allowing the first AGV body 21 to rotate in place to adapt to complex environments or adjust the direction.
[0133] The lifting mechanism 22 is an important part of the coil-taking automatic guided vehicle and is responsible for realizing the up and down lifting operation of the coil. The lifting mechanism 22 includes:
[0134] The main function of the lifting mechanism 22 is to lift the coil to the required height to ensure that the coil can be smoothly loaded or unloaded onto the first AGV body 21;
[0135] The scissor lift mechanism 23 is another important part of the coil-taking automatic guided vehicle, responsible for providing the functions of grasping and transporting the coil. Through the action of the telescopic oil cylinder, the scissor lift mechanism 23 can adjust the length of the fork arms back and forth to achieve precise grasping and transportation of the coil.
[0136] The design of the entire coil-taking automatic guided vehicle system is highly integrated, with a high degree of automation and intelligence. The first AGV body 21 uses laser navigation and the first obstacle avoidance radar 25 to ensure safe driving in a complex environment. The lifting mechanism 22 and the scissor lift mechanism 23 are used in combination to achieve precise grasping, lifting, and transportation of the coil. The combination of the design of the coil-taking fixture 10 and the scissor lift mechanism 23 ensures that the coil is not prone to sliding or damage during transportation, thus greatly improving the efficiency and safety of the production line.
[0137] This design not only realizes fully automated handling operations, but also reduces manual operations, improves production efficiency, and ensures the accuracy and safety of operations.
[0138] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the first obstacle avoidance radar 25 is assembled on the outer periphery of the above-mentioned first AGV body 21. Specifically, the first obstacle avoidance radar 25 is set at the corners of the four directions of the first AGV body 21. This design aims to enhance the autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities of the AGV. The first obstacle avoidance radar 25 is located outside the first AGV body 21. Through lidar or other types of sensors, it can scan the environment around the AGV in real time and detect the presence of obstacles. For example, the radar can detect information such as the position, shape, and distance of an object and feed the data back to the control system of the AGV. This enables the AGV to flexibly avoid obstacles in a complex working environment, thus ensuring that no collision or accident occurs during transportation.
[0139] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned lifting mechanism 22 includes a lifting power source 221 and a first gantry 222. The lifting power source 221 is connected to the first gantry 222, and the first gantry 222 is assembled on the first AGV body 21.
[0140] The lifting mechanism 22 includes a lifting power source 221 and a first gantry 222. The lifting power source 221 generally refers to a component that provides power, such as a hydraulic cylinder or an electric motor. The first gantry 222 is a frame structure that supports the entire lifting mechanism 22. These two parts are connected together and assembled onto the first AGV body 21 to ensure that the lifting mechanism 22 can adjust its height and position when needed. Driven by the lifting power source 221, the first gantry 222 can perform lifting actions, ensuring that the coil can be conveniently lifted from the ground to the load platform of the AGV or lowered.
[0141] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned lifting power source 221 includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.
[0142] The power of the lifting mechanism 22 is provided by a hydraulic system. The cylinder provides the lifting force through the compression and release of hydraulic oil. The lifting cylinder can precisely control the speed and strength of the lifting, ensure a smooth lifting process, and be able to withstand material loads of different weights. Using a cylinder to drive the lifting system is a common design in industrial automation, especially suitable for occasions that require large loads and high stability.
[0143] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned scissor mechanism 23 includes a telescopic power source 231, a sliding structure, and scissor arms 233. Both sides of the sliding structure are installed inside the first gantry 222, and the sliding structure is connected to the lifting power source 221; the sliding structure is connected to the lifting power source 221; one end of the scissor arms 233 is used as a fixed end, and the other end of the scissor arms 233 is used as a mobile end. The sliding structure is connected to the fixed end of the scissor arms 233; the sliding structure is connected to the telescopic power source 231; the mobile end of the scissor arms 233 is connected to the bracket 16.
[0144] In this embodiment, the telescopic power source 231 is a core component of the scissor mechanism 23, responsible for providing power to make the scissor arms 233 telescopic. This power source is usually a hydraulic cylinder, an electric motor, or a pneumatic device, etc., used to drive the scissor arms 233 to telescope in the vertical direction. The telescopic power source 231 is connected to the sliding structure, and by controlling the action of the telescopic power source 231, the lifting and telescoping of the scissor arms 233 are achieved.
[0145] The sliding structure is another key component in the scissor mechanism 23. It is installed inside the first gantry 222 and is usually designed as a structure that can slide along the rails or channels inside the first gantry 222. Both sides of the sliding structure are fixed inside the first gantry 222 through appropriate supports, which can ensure its smooth movement inside the first gantry 222. The function of the sliding structure is to carry and guide the movement of the scissor arms 233, ensuring its stability during the lifting process.
[0146] In this design, one end of the scissor arm 233 serves as a fixed end and is connected to the lifting power source 221 through a sliding structure. The other end of the scissor arm 233 is used to cooperate with the coil-taking fixture 10 to support the item being carried, ensuring that the item can be stably grasped during the lifting process. The scissor arm 233 and the sliding structure achieve movement through precise connection, enabling it to move in the vertical direction to adapt to items of different heights.
[0147] The sliding structure is connected to the lifting power source 221, enabling the lifting power source 221 to drive the movement of the sliding structure. During the lifting process, the action of the lifting power source 221 directly affects the movement of the sliding structure, thereby indirectly controlling the lifting of the scissor arm 233. The movement of the sliding structure and the lifting of the scissor arm 233 are closely coordinated to ensure the stability of the fork arm when carrying items.
[0148] In addition to being connected to the lifting power source 221, the sliding structure is also connected to the telescopic power source 231. The telescopic power source 231 further adjusts the telescopic position of the scissor arm 233 by driving the sliding structure, thereby being able to adapt to items of different sizes and heights. This connection ensures that the scissor arm 233 can adjust its length and height as needed, enabling it to carry items of different sizes.
[0149] The lifting power source 221 enables the scissor arm 233 to lift and lower vertically by controlling the movement of the sliding structure, facilitating the lifting or lowering of items from the ground or other platforms. Through the telescopic power source 231, the sliding structure can adjust the length of the scissor arm 233 to adapt to items of different sizes. The telescopic power source 231 and the sliding structure work together to ensure the precise movement of the scissor arm 233. The stability of the sliding structure is crucial for the precise control of the scissor mechanism 23. The track or groove design provided inside the first gantry 222 ensures that the sliding structure can slide smoothly, avoiding unstable movement caused by friction or deviation.
[0150] The scissor mechanism 23 realizes the lifting and telescoping functions of items through the coordinated operation of the carefully designed telescopic power source 231, sliding structure, and scissor arm 233. The design of the sliding structure enables the scissor arm 233 to lift and lower smoothly in the vertical direction, and adjusts the length of the scissor arm 233 through the drive of the telescopic power source 231 to adapt to items of different sizes. This structural design ensures that the AGV can accurately and efficiently complete tasks in automated handling.
[0151] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned sliding structure includes a carriage 232.
[0152] In this embodiment, the carriage 232 is used to support and guide the movement of the scissor arm 233. The carriage 232 can slide in the track or chute within the first gantry 222. Through the action of the carriage 232, the scissor arm 233 can remain stable during the lifting process and avoid unnecessary wear or unstable movement caused by friction or other factors.
[0153] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , a groove is provided in the above-mentioned first gantry 222, and the carriage 232 is placed in the groove.
[0154] In this embodiment, a groove is provided in the first gantry 222, and the carriage 232 is placed in the groove. This design ensures that the carriage 232 remains stable and smooth during movement. The groove provides a fixed track in which the carriage 232 can slide freely, reducing the offset and instability during the movement of the scissor arm 233. This design can improve the accuracy and durability of the scissor mechanism 23, ensuring no displacement or collision during the lifting and grasping processes.
[0155] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned also includes a first navigation module 24, and the first navigation module 24 is installed on the lifting mechanism 22.
[0156] In this embodiment, the first navigation module 24 is used to provide positioning and path planning functions to ensure the precise travel of the AGV in a complex environment. The first navigation module 24 installed on the lifting mechanism 22 can cooperate with other control systems of the AGV to make real-time adjustments and optimize the path during the lifting action and movement.
[0157] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned first navigation module 24 is installed on the top of the first gantry 222. This choice of location helps ensure that the first navigation module 24 can obtain a wide field of view. Generally, the top position is beneficial for increasing the detection range of radar or laser devices and avoiding occlusion by other devices or obstacles. The top position can enhance the positioning accuracy and response speed of the first navigation module 24, especially in the face of a complex working environment, effectively improving the adaptability of the AGV.
[0158] The above-mentioned coil-taking automatic guided vehicle realizes the automatic handling of coils through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 22 and the scissor mechanism 23. The lifting mechanism 22 is assembled on the first AGV body 21, and the scissor mechanism 23 is connected to the lifting mechanism 22, capable of precisely adjusting the height and extension of the fork arms, enabling the AGV to automatically transport and place coils; this design effectively improves production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and at the same time ensures the accuracy and safety of the handling process.
[0159] Please refer toFigure 5 and Figure 6 , based on the coordinated work of the first AGV body 21, the lifting mechanism 22 and the scissor fork mechanism 23. The first AGV body 21 adjusts its height through the lifting mechanism 22, and cooperates with the scissor fork mechanism 23 and the reel clamp 10 to grab and carry materials. The reel automatic guided vehicle moves the reel clamp 10 to the winder 2, and uses the drive structure 14 to enable the upper and lower reel claws 11 and 12 to operate precisely under the action of the sliding assembly. The upper and lower reel claws 11 and 12 are inserted into the inner hole of the formed coil 1 and stretched out, completely fitting with the inner hole wall to ensure that the formed coil 1 is accurately grabbed at different heights. The first cargo detection structure 13 monitors in real time whether the cargo is correctly loaded through the cooperation of the elastic member and the first proximity switch 134.
[0160] Through the coordinated operation of the camera assembly 15, the sliding assembly, and the drive structure 14, the coil-retrieving automated guided vehicle (AGV) achieves precise material positioning and gripping. The camera assembly 15 assists the system in acquiring real-time image data, supporting positioning and judgment during the material retrieving process. Furthermore, the coordination between the sliding assembly and the retrieving claw ensures that the clamp can flexibly adjust its position during dynamic movement, ensuring stable gripping of the target material. The collaboration between the scissor fork mechanism 23 and the lifting mechanism 22 allows the system to be highly adaptable to the working environment, thereby improving the adaptability and efficiency of the overall operation.
[0161] The aforementioned automated guided vehicle 100 with a coil-taking clamp achieves efficient coil removal and automatic handling by providing a coil-taking automated guided vehicle and a coil-taking clamp 10. The bracket 16, the material-taking structure, the drive structure 14, and the first load detection structure 13 of the coil-taking clamp 10 work together to ensure accurate and reliable material removal. The coordination of the lifting mechanism 22 and the scissor fork mechanism 23 enables the AGV to precisely adjust its height and position during dynamic movement, thereby significantly improving coil removal efficiency, reducing manual operation time, and effectively avoiding human error. Automated handling further reduces labor costs in the production process and ensures efficient, safe, and consistent production operations.

The guard plate component 64 is assembled on the conveying component 62, and the conveying component 62 is connected to the turning component 63; the turning component 63 is assembled on the base 61.
[0163] In this embodiment, the base 61 is the basic support part of the entire flip structure. All other components are assembled and fixed on the base 61 to ensure the stable operation of the entire system. The base 61 provides the necessary support for the flip assembly 63, so that the flip function can be performed reliably.
[0164] The conveying component 62 is a key part in the material conveying process, usually including a conveying frame 621 and a roller conveying line 622. The main function of this component is to convey the formed coil 1 from the inlet of the turnover machine to the turnover area, and at the same time guide the turnover material to the subsequent processing link. The conveying component 62 is connected to the turnover component 63 to ensure that the material can be smoothly moved and turned to the target position during the turnover process.
[0165] The turnover component 63 is the core part to realize the 90° turnover of the material, including a hydraulic system and a turnover push rod 632. The turnover component 63 realizes the turnover of the formed coil 1 between the vertical and horizontal directions through a driving system (such as a hydraulic cylinder). This component is usually assembled on the base 61 and turns the material from the vertical position to the horizontal direction or from the horizontal position back to the vertical position by hydraulic or other driving methods for the next step of processing.
[0166] The guard plate component 64 plays a role in protecting the formed coil 1 and preventing the material from tipping or being damaged during the turnover process. The guard plate component 64 is assembled on the conveying component 62 and works together with the turnover component 63. During the turnover process, the guard plate component 64 can protect the finished coil and ensure the safety of the turnover operation, avoiding the material being affected or damaged by external factors.
[0167] In summary, the formed coil turnover structure 110 ensures the smooth turnover of the material between different directions by reasonably configuring the base 61, the conveying component 62, the turnover component 63 and the guard plate component 64, while ensuring the stability and safety of the material during the turnover process. This design effectively improves the material processing efficiency, reduces manual intervention and lowers the operation risk.
[0168] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 11 to 12 , the above-mentioned turnover component 63 includes a turnover power source 631 and a turnover push rod 632. The turnover power source 631 is assembled on the base 61, and the turnover power source 631 is connected to the turnover push rod 632; the turnover push rod 632 is connected to the conveying component 62.
[0169] In this embodiment, the core of the turnover component 63 consists of a turnover power source 631 and a turnover push rod 632. The turnover power source 631 is assembled on the base 61. By connecting with the turnover push rod 632, it drives the push rod to act, thereby realizing the turnover function of the material. The turnover push rod 632 is connected to the conveying component 62 to ensure that the turnover material can be smoothly transported through the conveying line to the next processing link.
[0170] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 11 to 12 , the above-mentioned turnover power source 631 includes a first hydraulic cylinder, and the first hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the turnover push rod 632.
[0171] In this embodiment, the flipping power source 631 uses a first hydraulic cylinder, which provides the power required for flipping through hydraulic drive. An articulated structure is adopted between the hydraulic cylinder and the flipping push rod 632, which enables the flipping push rod 632 to achieve an appropriate movement angle according to the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder, thereby controlling the flipping angle and direction of the material. The articulated structure has high flexibility and can provide precise control and stability during the flipping process.
[0172] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the above-mentioned conveying component 62 includes a conveying frame 621 and a roller conveyor line 622. The roller conveyor line 622 is assembled on the conveying frame 621, and the conveying frame 621 is connected to the flipping component 63.
[0173] In this embodiment, the conveying frame 621 and the roller conveyor line 622 form the main part of material conveying. The roller conveyor line 622 is assembled on the conveying frame 621 to ensure stability and smoothness during the conveying process. The connection between the conveying frame 621 and the flipping component 63 enables the flipped material to be smoothly conveyed to the designated position while the material is being flipped, avoiding problems such as material accumulation or flipping failure.
[0174] In summary, the flipping component 63 of this embodiment drives the flipping push rod 632 through a hydraulic system to achieve the flipping of the formed coil 1. At the same time, the precise cooperation of the conveying component 62 enables the flipped material to smoothly pass through the subsequent processing links, improving the material processing efficiency and operation safety.
[0175] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the above-mentioned guard plate component 64 includes a guard plate 641, a flap power component 642, and a connecting frame 643. The connecting frame 643 is connected to the flipping component 63, the flap power component 642 is assembled on the connecting frame 643, and the flap power component 642 is connected to the guard plate 641.
[0176] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the two sides of the above-mentioned conveying frame 621 are respectively assembled with guard plate components 64.
[0177] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the above-mentioned flap power component 642 includes a second hydraulic cylinder.
[0178] In this embodiment, the guard plate component 64 is used to protect the material from tipping or damage during the flipping process. Specifically, the guard plate component 64 consists of a guard plate 641, a flap power component 642, and a connecting frame 643.
[0179] The function of the guard plate 641 is to prevent the risk of the material from tipping over after being flipped. Especially when flipped in the vertical direction, the guard plate 641 can be deployed at an appropriate time to prevent the formed coil 1 from accidentally tilting or falling. The guard plate 641 will automatically retract after the discharging operation of the discharging table 65 structure is completed, protecting the safety of the finished coil.
[0180] The flap power component 642 is a key part to realize the deployment and retraction actions of the guard plate 641. It is connected to the guard plate 641 and enables the guard plate 641 to achieve dynamic adjustment through a driving device. The flap power component 642 uses the second hydraulic cylinder as the main power source. The second hydraulic cylinder utilizes the thrust generated by the hydraulic system to drive the guard plate 641 to automatically deploy when needed, thus ensuring the safe flipping of the material. After the flipping operation is completed, the second hydraulic cylinder can also control the guard plate 641 to retract, avoiding interference with subsequent operations.
[0181] The connecting frame 643, as the connection structure between the flap power component 642 and the flipping component 63, ensures that the flap power component 642 and the guard plate 641 can work stably during the flipping process. The connecting frame 643 has strong structural support force, which can ensure the movement accuracy of the guard plate 641 during the flipping process.
[0182] In this embodiment, the guard plate assembly 64 is installed on both sides of the conveying frame 621. This design can ensure that during the flipping process of the formed coil 1, the guard plate assembly 64 can effectively wrap the material to prevent accidents. Especially during the flipping process, the guard plate assemblies 64 on both sides of the conveying frame 621 can work together, enabling the flipping machine to be stable and reliable when handling materials of various specifications.
[0183] By combining the flap power component 642 driven by the second hydraulic cylinder and the reasonably designed structure of the guard plate 641, this embodiment effectively solves the risk of the material tipping over during the flipping process. The cooperation of the guard plate assembly 64 with the flipping structure and the conveying frame 621 ensures the efficiency and stability of the flipping machine when performing a 90° flip. At the same time, the automatic retraction function of the guard plate 641 not only improves the working efficiency of the equipment but also enhances the safety of material handling.
[0184] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the above-mentioned formed coil flipping structure 110 further includes a discharging table 65, and the discharging table 65 is assembled on the conveying component 62.
[0185] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the above-mentioned discharging table 65 includes wedge-shaped blocks.
[0186] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 , the number of the above-mentioned wedge-shaped blocks is two, and the two wedge-shaped blocks are arranged oppositely.
[0187] In this embodiment, the main function of the unloading platform 65 is to provide a stable platform for the material, ensuring that the material can be smoothly unloaded and subsequently conveyed when it is flipped from the vertical state to the horizontal direction.
[0188] The design of the unloading platform 65 includes wedge-shaped blocks. Its main function is to ensure the smooth progress of the unloading process by means of reasonable design of the shape and position and in cooperation with the material reception during the flipping process. The number of wedge-shaped blocks is two, and these two wedge-shaped blocks are arranged in opposite positions to form an effective supporting and guiding function. The opposite arrangement of the two wedge-shaped blocks can ensure that the formed coil 1 does not shift during the flipping process, avoiding unstable unloading conditions, thereby improving the safety and stability of the equipment.
[0189] In addition, the design of the wedge-shaped blocks can be compatible with formed coils 1 of different specifications, ensuring that the flipping machine can handle various material sizes without flipping or unloading failures due to specification differences.
[0190] This design can improve the applicability and stability of the flipping machine, especially during the flipping and conveying of materials, ensuring that the unloading platform 65 can effectively support and guide the transfer of materials, making the entire operation process smoother and safer.
[0191] The above-mentioned formed coil flipping structure 110 realizes the 90° flipping and switching of the formed coil 1 between the vertical and horizontal directions through the reasonable design of the base 61, the conveying component 62, the flipping component 63 and the guard plate component 64; specifically, the guard plate component 64 is assembled on the conveying component 62, the conveying component 62 is connected to the flipping component 63, and the flipping component 63 is assembled on the base 61; through the hydraulically driven flipping component 63, the system can precisely control the flipping of the formed coil 1 between the vertical and horizontal directions, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the material during the flipping process. This design not only improves the efficiency of material handling, but also effectively reduces the labor cost and operation risk. Through the automated flipping and conveying functions, it reduces manual intervention and improves the safety and stability of the operation.
[0192] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 14 , the stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture includes: a coil stacking fixture 30 and a second AGV body 41. Among them, the coil stacking fixture 30 includes a coil stacking and picking component, a coil stacking bracket 36 and a coil stacking driving component 34. The coil stacking and picking component is connected to the coil stacking driving component 34; the coil stacking driving component 34 and the coil stacking and picking component are respectively assembled on the coil stacking bracket 36, and the coil stacking bracket 36 is connected to the second AGV body 41.
[0193] In this embodiment, the coil stacking fixture 30 is the core component of this stacking guiding vehicle system, and its function is to complete the clamping, handling and stacking of circular coils.
[0194] The main function of the coil stacking and picking component is to grasp and hold the coil. It can stably hold the coil when the AGV is moving, preventing the coil from sliding or falling during the handling process.
[0195] The coil stacking bracket 36 is the basic framework of the coil stacking fixture 30, responsible for supporting the coil stacking and picking component and the coil stacking drive component 34, and ensuring their stability during operation. The coil stacking bracket 36 is connected to the second AGV body 41. As the connection carrier of the system, it enables the coil stacking fixture 30 to work in coordination with the second AGV body 41.
[0196] The coil stacking drive component 34 is responsible for controlling the actions of the coil stacking and picking component, ensuring that the coil stacking and picking component can smoothly perform operations such as opening, closing, lifting, and lowering. It can precisely control the movement of the fixture.
[0197] The design purpose of the coil stacking fixture 30 is to ensure that it can perform adaptive operations between circular coils of different specifications, while ensuring safety and stability during stacking or handling.
[0198] The second AGV body 41 is the basis of the stacking guide vehicle. It is mainly responsible for providing the moving ability and cooperating with the coil stacking fixture 30 to handle the coil. The second AGV body 41 is usually equipped with an automatic navigation system and an obstacle avoidance system to ensure that it can operate autonomously in a complex factory environment and avoid collisions with other objects.
[0199] The connection between the coil stacking bracket 36 and the second AGV body 41 is crucial because it ensures the fixation and stability of the coil stacking fixture 30. Through a strong connection method, the coil stacking fixture 30 and the second AGV body 41 can work in coordination, enabling the AGV to maintain the stability of the coil during handling and achieve precise stacking and picking operations.
[0200] The second AGV body 41 first locates through the navigation system and determines the optimal path. After the AGV moves to the position where the coil is located, the coil stacking and picking component acts through the drive component to grasp the coil. Once the coil is successfully clamped, the second AGV body 41 will carry the coil to the target position according to the predetermined path. After reaching the target position, the coil stacking and picking component releases the coil to complete the unloading and stacking.
[0201] The automatic navigation of the second AGV body 41 and the precise control of the coil stacking fixture 30 improve the handling efficiency. The close cooperation between the coil stacking fixture 30 and the second AGV body 41 ensures the stability and safety during the transportation process. It can handle coils of different specifications and sizes and adapt to various handling requirements.
[0202] The stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture is an efficient, precise, and automated device. Through the collaborative work of the coil stacking and picking component, the coil stacking bracket 36, the coil stacking drive component 34, and the second AGV body 41, it realizes the automatic handling, stacking, and picking operations of the coil materials. This system can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure safety and stability in complex environments.
[0203] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 The above-mentioned coil stacking and picking component includes a left coil stacking picking claw 31, a right coil stacking picking claw 32, and a coil stacking sliding component 37. The left coil stacking picking claw 31 and the right coil stacking picking claw 32 are respectively assembled on the coil stacking sliding component 37, and the coil stacking sliding component 37 is connected to the coil stacking bracket 36.
[0204] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 The above-mentioned coil stacking sliding component 37 includes a slider and a guide rail. The guide rail is connected to the coil stacking bracket 36; the slider is assembled on the guide rail, and the left coil stacking picking claw 31 and the right coil stacking picking claw 32 are respectively connected to the slider.
[0205] In this embodiment, the left coil stacking picking claw 31 and the right picking claw are respectively assembled on the coil stacking sliding component 37, and can move on the guide rail through the sliding component. The two cooperate to form a clamping device, and clamp the coil material through opening and closing actions.
[0206] The coil stacking sliding component 37 is composed of a slider and a guide rail. The guide rail is connected to the coil stacking bracket 36, while the slider is assembled on the guide rail to provide a sliding function. The left and right coil stacking picking claws are respectively fixed on the slider. Therefore, as the slider moves, the picking claws can open or close synchronously.
[0207] The coil stacking bracket 36 is used to fix the coil stacking sliding component 37 and provide structural support, ensuring that the entire picking claw component can work stably.
[0208] In one embodiment, baffles for clamping the formed coil material 1 are respectively provided on the above-mentioned left coil stacking picking claw 31 and right coil stacking picking claw 32.
[0209] In this embodiment, baffles are provided on both the left coil stacking picking claw 31 and the right picking claw for clamping the formed coil material 1. The design of the baffles can prevent the coil material from slipping due to external force or vibration during the clamping process. This is crucial for the stability during the handling process and ensures that the coil material is not accidentally released.
[0210] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16, the above-mentioned stacking and coiling drive component 34 includes a stacking and coiling power source 341, a second reduction gear 342, a second coupling 343, a second screw rod fixing seat 344, a second screw rod 346, and a second connecting member. The left stacking and coiling material grabbing claw 31 and the right stacking and coiling material grabbing claw 32 are respectively connected to the second connecting member; the stacking and coiling power source 341 is connected to the second reduction gear 342; the second reduction gear 342 is connected to the second coupling 343; the second coupling 343 is connected to the second screw rod 346; the second screw rod 346 is connected to the stacking and coiling support 36 through the second screw rod fixing seat 344; the second connecting member is connected to the second screw rod 346.
[0211] In this embodiment, the stacking and coiling drive component 34 is responsible for providing power so that the left and right stacking and coiling material grabbing claws can move synchronously and be precisely controlled.
[0212] The stacking and coiling power source 341 is the core power equipment that drives the operation of this component. Usually it is an electric motor, which provides appropriate torque and speed through a speed-changing system.
[0213] The second reduction gear 342 is connected to the stacking and coiling power source 341 and is used to adjust the rotational speed of the power output. Through the second reduction gear 342, the high-speed rotation output by the electric motor can be reduced to an appropriate working speed so as to precisely control the movement of the material grabbing claw.
[0214] The second coupling 343 connects the second reduction gear 342 and the second screw rod 346 to transmit power. It can ensure the stability during the transmission process and prevent mechanical damage at the same time.
[0215] The second screw rod 346 is fixed on the stacking and coiling support 36 through the second screw rod fixing seat 344 and is connected to the second coupling 343. This is the core component that drives the left and right stacking and coiling material grabbing claws to move. The rotation of the second screw rod 346 drives the slider to move on the guide rail, thereby making the material grabbing claw open or close.
[0216] The second connecting member is connected to the second screw rod 346 and plays a role in transmitting power and achieving synchronous control. Through an accurate transmission structure, it ensures that the two material grabbing claws can work in coordination.
[0217] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned second connecting member includes a second left-handed nut 345 and a second right-handed nut 347. The left stacking and coiling material grabbing claw 31 is connected to the second left-handed nut 345, and the right stacking and coiling material grabbing claw 32 is connected to the second right-handed nut 347.
[0218] And in this embodiment, the above-mentioned second screw rod 346 is, but not limited to, a ball screw rod.
[0219] The stacking and coiling power source 341 includes, but is not limited to, a stacking and coiling motor.
[0220] The motor drives the second lead screw 346 to rotate forward and backward, enabling the synchronous opening and retraction of the left coil picking claw 31 and the right coil picking claw 32 of the coil stack, so that the coil stack clamp 30 can hold or release the goods.
[0221] The working principle of the entire coil stack picking component is as follows:
[0222] The coil stack power source 341 provides power, and the rotational speed is reduced by the second reducer 342, enabling the second coupling 343 to drive the second lead screw 346 to rotate; the rotation of the second lead screw 346 drives the slider to move along the guide rail, and the left coil picking claw 31 and the right coil picking claw 32 on the slider move synchronously to grasp or release the coiled material; the baffle on the picking claw ensures that the formed coiled material 1 does not slip during the clamping process; the second lead screw fixing seat 344 in the power transmission process ensures the stability of the second lead screw 346 and supports the stability of the entire system, avoiding vibration or mechanical failures.
[0223] This design enables the coil stack picking component to efficiently and reliably complete the handling task of circular coiled materials through precise mechanical transmission and synchronous control.
[0224] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the above-mentioned coil stack clamp 30 further includes a load detection component 33, and the load detection component 33 is assembled on the coil stack picking component.
[0225] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 17 , the above-mentioned load detection component 33 includes a second detection plate 331, a third elastic member 332, a second proximity switch 334, a second connecting rod 333, and a second housing 335. The second detection plate 331 is connected above the second housing 335, and the third elastic member 332 is inserted into the second housing 335; and the upper end of the third elastic member 332 extends outside the second housing 335 and is connected to the second detection plate 331; the second connecting rod 333 passes through the third elastic member 332, and the upper end of the second connecting rod 333 is connected to the second detection plate 331; the second proximity switch 334 is located on one side of the second housing 335, and the second housing 335 is assembled on the coil stack support 36.
[0226] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 17 , the above-mentioned third elastic member 332 includes a spring.
[0227] In this embodiment, the load detection component 33 is a key part of the coil stack picking system. Its function is to ensure that the coiled material is in the correct position during the stacking process by sensing whether the coiled material is clamped. This detection component can monitor the clamping state of the coiled material in real time through cooperation with the coil stack picking claw, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the operation.
[0228] The second detection plate 331 is the core part of the load detection component 33. When the coil-taking and -uncoiling gripper clamps the coil, it responds to the pressure of the coil and triggers the second proximity switch 334. The design of the second detection plate 331 ensures that it can move freely when contacting the coil and transmit the corresponding signal. The third elastic member 332 is usually a spring that plays a resetting role, ensuring that the second detection plate 331 can return to its initial position when not contacting the coil, and ensuring the sensitivity and accuracy of the system.
[0229] The second proximity switch 334 is used to sense the displacement of the second detection plate 331. When the second detection plate 331 is pressed down by the coil, the second proximity switch 334 is triggered to generate a signal to determine whether the coil is clamped. This signal is used to judge whether the coil-taking and -uncoiling is in place, so as to adjust the subsequent actions.
[0230] The second connecting rod 333 connects the second detection plate 331 and the spring, ensuring that the rebounding force of the spring can directly act on the second detection plate 331, so that the second detection plate 331 can be reset after the pressure is released.
[0231] The second housing 335 wraps all the components together, protecting the internal components and providing support for the connection. The second housing 335 also provides a fixed point, enabling the entire load detection component 33 to be firmly assembled into the coil-taking and -uncoiling system.
[0232] When the left coil-taking gripper 31 and / or the right coil-taking gripper 32 opens, the second detection plate 331 of the load detection component 33 starts at the initial position and is not affected by external forces. When the left coil-taking gripper 31 and / or the right coil-taking gripper 32 clamps the coil, the coil contacts the second detection plate 331 and applies pressure. At this time, the second detection plate 331 will move downward, pushing the second connecting rod 333. When the second detection plate 331 moves, the spring is compressed and drives the second connecting rod 333 downward to ensure the precise response of the second detection plate 331. The second proximity switch 334 is located on one side of the second housing 335. When the second detection plate 331 is pressed down to touch the second proximity switch 334, the second proximity switch 334 is triggered to generate a signal. At this time, the system can judge whether the coil has been clamped in place. After the gripper retracts, the pressure is released, and the spring-back effect of the spring makes the second detection plate 331 return to the original position, and the second proximity switch 334 disconnects the signal, indicating that the coil has moved away from the detection position.
[0233] The whole process can provide real-time feedback on whether the coil is clamped and adjust the actions of the coil-taking and -uncoiling gripper or subsequent operations according to the signal.
[0234] The load detection component 33 is assembled on the coil-taking and -uncoiling bracket and is connected to the bracket through the second housing 335. The position design of the detection component ensures that it can be synchronized with the actions of the coil-taking and -uncoiling grippers, ensuring that the detection function can effectively play its role throughout the stacking process.
[0235] When the stacking and uncoiling claws open, the second detection plate 331 in the load detection component 33 is in an uncompressed state. When the stacking and uncoiling claws grip the coil material, the second detection plate 331 senses the pressure of the coil material, pushing the second connecting rod 333 and the reaction of the spring, thereby activating the second proximity switch 334 to send a signal. When the uncoiling claws retract, the spring rebounds, the second detection plate 331 resets, and the second proximity switch 334 disconnects, completing one detection cycle.
[0236] The load detection component 33 can achieve automatic monitoring of whether the coil material is correctly clamped, and the system can adjust the fixture action according to the feedback signal to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the operation. This design is applicable to occasions that require high-precision stacking and uncoiling, such as automated production lines or high-efficiency stacking systems.
[0237] Overall, the load detection component 33 can ensure the efficiency and reliability of the stacking and uncoiling system when performing tasks through simple and effective mechanical and sensing technologies.

[0242] The second gantry 422 is fixedly connected to the second AGV body 41, providing support for the entire lifting system. It firmly connects the second lifting power source 421 to the second AGV body 41.
[0243] The second lifting frame 423 is connected to the second forklift carriage 424 through the second lifting power source 421, responsible for carrying and supporting the second forklift carriage 424 and the coil stacking fixture 30 thereon. During the lifting process, the second lifting frame 423 provides the necessary stability and support.
[0244] The second forklift carriage 424 is responsible for connecting to the coil stacking fixture 30 and bringing the coil stacking fixture 30 to the required position through the connecting attachment 425. The design of the second forklift carriage 424 allows it to move within the slots of the second lifting frame 423 and is driven by the second lifting power source 421 to rise or fall.
[0245] The connecting attachment 425, as the second connecting member between the coil stacking fixture 30 and the second forklift carriage 424, ensures that the fixture can effectively hold the coil. Specifically, a flange 35 is provided on the above-mentioned coil stacking bracket 36, and the connecting attachment 425 is connected to the flange 35.
[0246] The second gantry 422, as a support structure, is fixed to the second AGV body 41 to ensure the stability of the lifting system. The second lifting frame 423 performs lifting movement through the second lifting power source 421. Installation slots are provided inside the second lifting frame 423, and the second forklift carriage 424 is installed in these installation slots to ensure the stability and smooth movement of the second forklift carriage 424. The coil stacking fixture 30 is connected to the second forklift carriage 424 through the connecting attachment 425 to ensure that the coil can be firmly held during transportation and that the coil stacking fixture 30 can accurately stack during the stacking process.
[0247] The coil lifting assembly 42 provides lifting action through the second lifting power source 421 (such as an oil cylinder or a motor), enabling the coil stacking fixture 30 to move between different heights during the stacking process, thus facilitating the clamping and placement of the coil. Through the coil lifting assembly 42, the AGV can accurately bring the coil stacking fixture 30 to the designated stacking position, realizing automated stacking and picking operations and improving work efficiency. The connecting attachment 425 ensures the stable connection and fixation of the coil stacking fixture 30, preventing instability or fixture detachment during the stacking process.
[0248] In this embodiment, a high degree of flexibility in height and efficient stacking operations are achieved between the second AGV body 41 and the coil stacking fixture 30 through the coil lifting assembly 42. The combination of the design of the coil lifting assembly 42 and the second AGV body 41 provides stable transportation and stacking functions, capable of completing highly automated coil handling tasks, thereby improving the work efficiency and operation accuracy of the stacking guide vehicle.
[0249] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 13 , the second AGV body 41 described above is equipped with a second navigation module 43. Laser navigation is used during the traveling process. The second AGV body 41 is driven by but not limited to a single steering wheel 44, which is convenient for controlling the direction and has functions of moving forward, backward, and turning. The second AGV body 41 is provided with a second obstacle avoidance radar 45 for detecting obstacles in the forward direction.
[0250] Refer to Figure 18 , the stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture stacks the formed coil materials 1 onto the pallet 50. Specifically, the left coil-taking gripper 31 and the right coil-taking gripper 32 are connected to the fixed linear guide and the slider, and are respectively connected to the left-handed screw and the second right-handed nut 347 of the ball screw of the driving component. By driving the forward and reverse rotation of the ball screw by the motor, the synchronous opening and retraction actions of the left coil-taking gripper 31 and the right coil-taking gripper 32 can be realized, ensuring that the fixture can stably and accurately hold or release the goods, thereby improving the work efficiency and accuracy and ensuring the stable clamping of the goods during the handling process. In addition, the coil stacking fixture 30 is also designed with a load-carrying detection component 33, which is fixed on the left and right grippers and synchronously opens with the actions of the left coil-taking gripper 31 and the right coil-taking gripper 32. When the left coil-taking gripper 31 and the right coil-taking gripper 32 open, the compression spring second detection plate 331 will be touched, and the signal is transmitted to the second proximity switch 334 to detect whether the coil material has been clamped in place. When the gripper retracts, the spring rebounds to return the second detection plate 331 to its original position, thus realizing real-time monitoring during the clamping process and ensuring the accurate operation of the fixture. The automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with the coil stacking fixture 30 fixes the fixture through the connecting device and at the same time has a coil stacking lifting component 42, enabling the fixture to move up and down and coordinating with the forward and backward movement of the second AGV body 41 to complete the automated transportation and stacking operations. This design not only improves the flexibility of goods handling but also enables the AGV to perform precise operations on circular coil materials of various specifications, including tasks such as horizontal material taking, discharging, handling, and stacking. Finally, through high integration, the entire system ensures the efficient application of the coil stacking fixture 30 in different working scenarios, greatly enhancing the automation level of transportation and stacking operations.
[0251] In other embodiments, the formed coil material 1 described above can be replaced with other materials.
[0252] The above-mentioned stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture ensures the flexibility and adaptability of automatic handling and stacking by setting the design of the coil stacking fixture 30 and the second AGV body 41. The coil stacking fixture 30 includes a coil picking component, a coil stacking bracket 36, and a coil stacking driving component 34. The connection between the coil picking component and the coil stacking driving component 34 enables the fixture to adjust its grasping method according to different specifications of circular coils, while the connection between the coil stacking bracket 36 and the second AGV body 41 ensures the stability and accuracy of the fixture during handling. This structural design effectively solves the problem of the lack of flexibility and adaptability in the prior art when dealing with materials with irregular shapes and variable sizes, and at the same time improves the automation handling and stacking accuracy of circular coils, enhancing the overall operation efficiency.
[0253] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned conveyor 120 includes but is not limited to a conveyor line; the above-mentioned coil picking platform 130 includes but is not limited to a vertical frame; after the formed coils 1 are stacked on the pallet 50, they are limited by wooden squares to prevent collapse.
[0254] The above-mentioned automatic equipment for stacking the offline composite board coils significantly improves the automation and intelligence level of the offline process by integrating various automatic equipment. Specifically, it includes a coiler 2, an automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil picking fixture, a formed coil flipping structure 110, a conveyor 120, a coil picking platform 130, a stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture, and a pallet 50, etc. The automatic guided vehicle 100 with a coil picking fixture picks up the formed coil 1 and accurately transports it to the formed coil flipping structure 110, and then the flipped coil is conveyed to the coil picking platform 130 through the conveyor 120, and finally the coil is automatically stacked on the pallet 50 by the stacking guiding vehicle 140 with a coil stacking fixture. It effectively reduces manual intervention, improves work efficiency and accuracy, reduces human operation errors, optimizes the logistics and stacking process in the composite board production workshop, and enhances the production efficiency and overall intelligence level.
