It should be noted that: unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0046] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended as a limitation on the present application, its application, or its use.

[0047] Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0048] In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0049] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it will not be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0050] Referring to Figures 1 - 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a method for loading stacked materials is provided, which is applied to a stacked material loading device 1. First, the detailed structure of the stacked material loading device 1 will be introduced below:

[0051] The stacked material loading device 1 includes a straightening mechanism 11 and a clamping mechanism 12. The straightening mechanism 11 is configured to press and straighten the stacked materials.

[0052] Two sets of the clamping mechanisms 12 are provided, and the two sets of the clamping mechanisms 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the straightening mechanism 11 along a first direction. The clamping mechanism 12 includes a first clamping driving member 121, a second clamping driving member 122, and a clamping block 120. The clamping block 120 is hingedly connected to the second clamping driving member 122, and the second clamping driving member 122 is connected to the first clamping driving member 121.

[0053] The first clamping driving member 121 drives the second clamping driving member 122 and the clamping block 120 to move along the first direction, so that the clamping blocks 120 in the two sets of the clamping mechanisms 12 approach or move away from each other along the first direction. The second clamping driving member 122 can drive the clamping block 120 to rotate to adjust the relative angle of the clamping blocks 120 in the two sets of the clamping mechanisms 12. The clamping blocks 120 in the two sets of the clamping mechanisms 12 are configured to jointly clamp the stacked materials.

[0054] The loading method includes:

[0055] S101. Control the straightening mechanism 11 and the stacked materials to move towards each other until the straightening mechanism 11 presses the stacked materials.

[0056] S102. Control the two first clamping driving members 121 to drive the corresponding second clamping driving members 122 and the clamping blocks 120 to move along the first direction, so that the two clamping blocks 120 approach each other along the first direction and move to a first predetermined position.

[0057] S103. Control the two second clamping driving members 122 to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 120 to rotate a predetermined angle, so that the two clamping blocks 120 jointly clamp the first layer of materials in the stacked materials.

[0058] S104. Control the clamping mechanism 12 and the stacked material to move away from each other;

[0059] S105. Control the two second clamping driving members 122 to drive the corresponding clamping block groups 120 to rotate reciprocally.

[0060] The stacked material loading method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for separating and clamping the stacked material 01 arranged in layers and then loading it. Specifically, first, control the alignment mechanism 11 to move close to the stacked material. The alignment mechanism 11 presses the stacked material to align the stacked material, ensuring that the stacked material maintains a horizontal and stable state, and preparing for subsequent material clamping.

[0061] After that, the two clamping mechanisms 12 start to work: First, simultaneously control the first clamping driving members 121 in the two clamping mechanisms 12 to act. Each first clamping driving member 121 drives the corresponding second clamping driving member 122 together with the clamping block group 120 to move along the first direction, so that the clamping block groups 120 in the two clamping mechanisms 12 approach each other along the first direction and move to a predetermined position. At this time, the two clamping block groups 120 have a slight pre-contact with the side surface of the first layer of material in the stacked material. Next, control the second clamping driving member 122 to act. Each second clamping driving member 122 drives the corresponding clamping block group 120 to rotate a predetermined angle, so that the two clamping block groups 120 jointly clamp the first layer of material; under the action of the component force of the lateral clamping force of the clamping block group 120, the first layer of material generates a pressure towards the center and upwards, so that the first layer of material is slightly deformed towards the center and upwards, and then the first layer of material is initially separated from the second layer of material; then control the clamping mechanism 12 and the stacked material to move away from each other. For example, control the clamping mechanism 12 to move upwards to a first predetermined position, or control the stacked material to move downwards to a second predetermined position; then control each second clamping driving member 122 to drive the corresponding clamping block group 120 to rotate reciprocally repeatedly, so that the two clamping block groups 120 drive the first layer of material to generate a continuous shaking effect, and the first layer of material is completely separated from the second layer of material during the shaking process. Finally, clamp the first layer of material to complete the loading.

[0062] For example, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 As shown, in a specific example, the stacked material loading method further includes a driving mechanism 13. The alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 are both installed on the driving mechanism 13. The driving mechanism 13 drives the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move along the second direction to approach or move away from the stacked material.

[0063] By setting up the driving mechanism 13, both the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 are installed on the driving mechanism 13. Before the alignment mechanism 11 operates, that is, before controlling the alignment mechanism 11 and the stacked material to move towards each other, first, by controlling the driving mechanism 13 to drive the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move closer to the stacked material along the second direction together, that is, controlling the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move downward together. When moving to be adjacent to and in contact with the first layer of material, the driving mechanism 13 stops operating; then, control the alignment mechanism 11 to move closer to the stacked material. Before controlling each second clamping driving member 122 to drive the corresponding clamping block 120 to rotate back and forth repeatedly, when controlling the clamping mechanism 12 and the stacked material to move away from each other, control the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move away from the stacked material along the second direction together by the driving mechanism 13, that is, control the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move upward to the first predetermined position.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, a driving mechanism can also be provided for the stacked material, and by driving the stacked material to move along the second direction, the purpose of making the stacked material and the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 approach or move away from each other relatively can be achieved.

[0065] Optionally, the driving mechanism 13 can be, for example, a mechanism in which a servo motor drives a lead screw to move.

[0066] By using the feeding method for stacked materials provided in the embodiments of the present application, the stacked materials can be automatically separated, clamped, and fed, eliminating the need for manual feeding, saving labor costs, and having a relatively high production efficiency.

[0067] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the first direction is the X direction in the figure, and the second direction is the Z direction in the figure.

[0068] The following introduces the feeding method provided in the embodiments of the present application in combination with the detailed structure of the stacked material feeding device 1:

[0069] Refer to Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the alignment mechanism 11 includes an alignment block 111 and an alignment driving member 112, and the alignment block 111 is connected to the working end of the alignment driving member 112; the alignment driving member 112 drives the alignment block 111 to move along the second direction to approach or move away from the stacked material.

[0070] In this specific example, the action of the straightening mechanism 11 is specifically to control the straightening block 111 to move in the second direction via the straightening driver 112, and the action of pressing and straightening the stacked material is completed by the straightening block 111. Optionally, the straightening driver 112 is, for example, a pneumatic cylinder; a flow control valve 113 provided on the straightening driver 112 can be used to control the flow of the cylinder and thus the movement speed of the straightening block 111.

[0071] Controlling the righting mechanism 11 and the stacked material to move toward each other specifically includes: controlling the righting mechanism 11 to move toward the stacked material along the second direction. Controlling the righting mechanism 11 to move toward the stacked material along the second direction specifically includes: controlling the righting drive 112 to drive the righting block 111 to move toward the stacked material along the second direction.

[0072] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the straightening block 111 includes a first sub-block 1111, a second sub-block 1112 and a connecting rib 1110, the first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112 are arranged at intervals, the middle part of the first sub-block 1111 and the middle part of the second sub-block 1112 are both connected to the connecting rib 1110, and the first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112 are respectively formed with avoidance space on both sides of the connecting rib 1110 for avoiding the clamping assembly block 120.

[0073] In this specific example, the first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112 are identical in shape and size and are symmetrically arranged, ensuring that the straightening block 111 can provide a uniform and balanced pressing force on the stacked material. The first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112 are spaced apart on either side of the connecting rib 1110, forming two clearance spaces. The two clamping blocks 120 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two clearance spaces, ensuring that the straightening block 111 and the clamping blocks 120 are positioned in a corresponding manner and do not interfere with each other. When the straightening block 111 presses the stacked material, the two clamping blocks 120 can contact the sides of the first layer of material from both sides.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 12 further includes a adapter, which is fixedly connected to the first clamping drive 121 , and the adapter is also hingedly connected to the clamping assembly 120 and the second clamping drive 122 .

[0075] In this specific example, the adapter piece hinge - connects the first clamping driving member 121 with the clamping block 120, and the first clamping driving member 121 with the second clamping driving member 122. While ensuring that the first clamping driving member 121 can drive the second clamping driving member 122 and the clamping block 120 to move along the first direction, it also ensures that the second clamping driving member 122 can drive the clamping block 120 to rotate.

[0076] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the adapter piece includes a first adapter plate 123 and a second adapter plate 124 which are arranged at intervals. One end of the first adapter plate 123 and one end of the second adapter plate 124 are both fixedly connected to the first clamping driving member 121. The other end of the first adapter plate 123 is hinge - connected to the clamping block 120, and the other end of the second adapter plate 124 is hinge - connected to the second clamping driving member 122.

[0077] In this specific example, while the second clamping driving member 122 drives the clamping block 120 to rotate, the second clamping driving member 122 itself also rotates. Through the first adapter plate 123 and the second adapter plate 124 arranged at intervals, the first adapter plate 123 is hinge - connected to the clamping block 120, and the second adapter plate 124 is hinge - connected to the second clamping driving member 122. Thus, the first adapter plate 123 provides a supporting role and a hinge fulcrum for the clamping block 120, and the second adapter plate 124 provides a supporting role and a hinge fulcrum for the second clamping driving member 122.

[0078] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first clamping driving member 121 includes a first electric cylinder 1211 and a slide table 1212. The output end of the first electric cylinder 1211 is connected to the slide table 1212. The adapter piece further includes a first fixing plate 125 which is installed on the slide table 1212.

[0079] One end of the first adapter plate 123 and one end of the second adapter plate 124 are both fixedly connected to the slide table 1212 through the first fixing plate 125.

[0080] In this specific example, one end of the first adapter plate 123 and one end of the second adapter plate 124 are both connected to the first fixing plate 125, and the first fixing plate 125 is installed on the slide table 1212. When controlling the two first clamping driving members 121 to drive the corresponding second clamping driving members 122 and the clamping blocks 120 to move along the first direction, specifically:

[0081] When controlling the output end of the first electric cylinder 1211 to drive the sliding table 1212 to move in the first direction, the sliding table 1212 drives the first fixing plate 125 to move synchronously. The first fixing plate 125 then drives the first adapter plate 123 and the second adapter plate 124 to move synchronously, and finally drives the clamping block 120 and the second clamping driving member 122 to move in the first direction.

[0082] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the second clamping driving member 122 includes a second electric cylinder 1221 and a connecting head 1222. The output end of the second electric cylinder 1221 is connected to one end of the connecting head 1222, and the other end of the connecting head 1222 is hingedly connected to the clamping block 120.

[0083] In this specific example, the cylinder body of the second electric cylinder 1221 is hingedly connected to the second adapter plate 124, and the connecting head 1222 is hingedly connected to the clamping block 120. Thus, a first hinge point G1 is formed between the connecting head 1222 and the clamping block 120, a second hinge point G2 is formed between the first adapter plate 123 and the clamping block 120, and a third hinge point G3 is formed between the second electric cylinder 1221 and the second adapter plate 124. When the second clamping driving member 122 drives the clamping block 120 to rotate, the first hinge point G1, the second hinge point G2, and the third hinge point G3 all rotate.

[0084] Therefore, controlling the two second clamping driving members 122 to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 120 to rotate a predetermined angle specifically means: controlling the output end of the second electric cylinder 1221 to drive the connecting head 1222 and then drive the corresponding clamping block 120 to rotate a predetermined angle.

[0085] Controlling the two second clamping driving members 122 to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 120 to rotate reciprocally specifically means: controlling the output end of the second electric cylinder 1221 to drive the connecting head 1222 and then drive the corresponding clamping block 120 to rotate reciprocally.

[0086] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping block 120 includes a clamping block 1201 and a fixing block 1202, and the clamping block 1201 and the fixing block 1202 are detachably connected. The fixing block 1202 is hingedly connected to the second clamping driving member 122 and the adapter member. The clamping blocks 1201 in the two sets of clamping mechanisms 12 are configured to jointly clamp the stacked materials.

[0087] In this specific example, the clamping block 120 includes a clamping piece 1201 and a fixing block 1202. The fixing block 1202 is responsible for forming a connection with the second clamping driving member 122 and the adapter. For example, the fixing block 1202 is hingedly connected to the first adapter plate 123, and the fixing block 1202 is also hingedly connected to the connecting head 1222. The clamping piece 1201 is responsible for contacting and clamping the stacked material.

[0088] The clamping piece 1201 and the fixing block 1202 are detachably connected by means of clamping and / or fasteners, so that the clamping piece 1201 can be conveniently replaced when it is worn. Moreover, the clamping piece 1201 and the fixing block 1202 can be made of different materials according to needs.

[0089] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, the clamping piece 1201 includes a clamping surface 1200, and the clamping surfaces 1200 of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 12 are arranged at a predetermined acute angle.

[0090] In this specific example, the two clamping surfaces 1200 are symmetrically arranged and are both inclined at an acute angle with respect to the second direction, and a predetermined acute angle is formed between the two clamping surfaces 1200; such an arrangement ensures that the two clamping surfaces 1200 can clamp the material from the side of the stacked material.

[0091] Optionally, the clamping surface 1200 can be set as a surface with a curvature, and the angle between the two clamping surfaces 1200 refers to the angle between the tangents of the two clamping surfaces 1200. Optionally, anti-slip patterns are provided on the clamping surface 1200 to increase the friction between the clamping surface 1200 and the material.

[0092] Refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, the method for feeding the stacked material further includes a detection sensor 14. The alignment block 111 is provided with a through-hole portion 1100, and the detection sensor 14 is installed corresponding to the through-hole portion 1100; the detection sensor 14 is configured to detect the thickness of the stacked material.

[0093] In this specific example, the thickness of the stacked material can be detected by the detection sensor 14, so as to give a prompt when the material is in a shortage state, so as to realize the timely replenishment of the material. Optionally, the detection sensor 14 is a detection optical fiber, which works together with a detection optical fiber amplifier 15.

[0094] By detecting the functions of the sensor 14 and the detection fiber optic amplifier 15, it is possible to first determine whether the stacked material is in a state of shortage of materials before the control drive mechanism 13 drives the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move toward the stacked material in the second direction. In the case where the judgment result is "no", the control drive mechanism 13 is controlled to drive the alignment mechanism 11 and the clamping mechanism 12 to move toward the stacked material in the second direction.

[0095] In addition, a warning prompt is generated in the case where the judgment result is "yes".

[0096] Optionally, through holes 1100 are provided in both the first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112, and the two through holes 1100 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the connecting rib 1110; thus, there is no need to distinguish the installation positions of the first sub-block 1111 and the second sub-block 1112 when installing the alignment block 111, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0097] Furthermore, by adjusting the extension dimensions of the output ends of the first electric cylinder 1211 and the second electric cylinder 1221, the horizontal movement distance and the rotation angle of the clamping block 120 in the first direction can be adjusted to adapt to stacked materials of different sizes, so that the stacked material loading device 1 has strong versatility.

[0098] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the stacked material loading device 1 further includes a second fixing plate 161, a third fixing plate 162, a fourth fixing plate 163, and a fifth fixing plate 164. Among them, the second fixing plate 161 is installed on the drive mechanism 13, and the third fixing plate 162 is connected to the second fixing plate 161; the cylinder body of the first electric cylinder 1211 is installed on the third fixing plate 162. The detection fiber optic amplifier 15 is also installed on the third fixing plate 162. A reinforcing rib 17 is connected between the third fixing plate 162 and the second fixing plate 161.

[0099] The fourth fixing plate 163 is connected to the side of the third fixing plate 162 facing away from the second fixing plate 161, and the alignment driving member 112 is installed on the fourth fixing plate 163. The fifth fixing plate 164 is connected to the working end of the alignment driving member 112, and the alignment block 111 is connected to the fifth fixing plate 164 through a connecting rod 18; specifically, two connecting rods 18 are provided, one of the connecting rods 18 is correspondingly connected to the first sub-block 1111, and the other connecting rod 18 is correspondingly connected to the second sub-block 1112.
