DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 In the first aspect, the present invention provides an automatic reinforcing plate pasting machine, comprising a feeding mechanism 1, a human-machine interface 2, a pasting mechanism 3, a conveying mechanism 4 and a mounting frame 5; the conveying mechanism 4 is assembled on the top of the mounting frame 5, the pasting mechanism 3 is assembled on the mounting frame 5, and is located on the top of the conveying mechanism 4, the feeding mechanism 1 is assembled on the mounting frame 5, and is located on one side of the pasting mechanism 3, the human-machine interface 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5, and is located on the side of the mounting frame 5 close to the feeding mechanism 1.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, a worker pre-installs a reinforcement plate into the feeding mechanism 1, and then starts the feeding mechanism 1 through the human-machine interface 2. The feeding mechanism 1 pushes the reinforcement plate toward the pasting mechanism 3. The human-machine interface 2 starts the conveying mechanism 4 based on the program. The conveying mechanism 4 operates to transport the product to the bottom of the electric pasting mechanism, and then stops. The pasting mechanism 3 operates to approach the feeding mechanism 1 and absorb the reinforcement plate thereon. At this time, the pasting mechanism 3 moves, moves away from the feeding mechanism 1 and resets, lowers the reinforcement plate, and pastes the reinforcement plate on the product above the conveying mechanism 4. Finally, the conveying mechanism 4 moves again to send out the pasted product, and repeats the above steps to realize the operation of automatically pasting the reinforcement plate on the product. The automatic reinforcement plate pasting machine controls the entire pasting process through a preset program. The worker only needs to replenish the material to the feeding mechanism 1 in the middle, and there is no need for workers to paste the material. The pasting is more accurate, the pasting speed is faster, and the work intensity of the workers is reduced. It solves the problem that traditional manual pasting of reinforcement plates is inefficient and difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of pasting.

[0027] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a mounting seat 11, a cylinder 12, a pushing block 13, a first photoelectric sensor 14, a hopper 15, a clamping cylinder 16 and a second photoelectric sensor 17. The mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5 and is located at the top of the mounting frame 5. The hopper 15 is arranged on the top of the mounting seat 11. The pushing block 13 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 11 and passes through the mounting seat 11. The cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the pushing block 13 and to the mounting seat 11, and is located on one side of the pushing block 13. The clamping cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11 and is located on the side of the hopper 15 away from the cylinder 12. The first photoelectric sensor 14 is assembled on the side of the mounting seat 11 close to the clamping cylinder 16, and the second photoelectric sensor 17 is assembled on the outside of the hopper 15.

[0028] In this embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 11 provides support and mounting conditions for the remaining components of the feeding mechanism 1. After a worker manually loads material into the hopper 15, they press the start button on the human-machine interface 2. The left and right cylinders 12 drive the two pusher blocks 13 to push a reinforcing plate to a designated position. The height of the pusher blocks 13 is slightly higher than the bottom plate of the hopper 15 but lower than the thickness of a reinforcing plate. When the reinforcing plate reaches the designated position, it triggers the second photoelectric sensor 17 below the mounting base 11. At this point, the output end of the clamping cylinder 16 pushes out, pushing the reinforcing plate into the positioning area. Simultaneously, the cylinder 12 resets, and the reinforcing plate in the positioning area is removed by the feeding mechanism 3. This operation is repeated until the number of reinforcing plates in the hopper 15 is insufficient to trigger the first photoelectric sensor 14. At this point, the human-machine interface 2 prompts the worker to load material. If the first photoelectric sensor 14 still detects an insufficient number of reinforcing plates in the hopper 15 after a certain period of time, the entire feeding mechanism 1 will stop operating after three operations.

[0029] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying line 41, a first slide cylinder 42, a second slide cylinder 43 and a third photoelectric sensor 44. The conveying line 41 is assembled on the top of the mounting frame 5. The first slide cylinder 42 is arranged on one side of the conveying line 41. The second slide cylinder 43 is arranged on the side of the conveying line 41 away from the first slide cylinder 42. The third photoelectric sensor 44 is arranged on the side of the conveying line 41 close to the second slide cylinder 43.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, there are two first slide cylinders 42 and two second slide cylinders 43, which are respectively arranged on the conveyor line 41 one in front and one behind. When the product flows into the conveyor line 41, when the third photoelectric sensor 44 detects the product, the front output end of the second slide cylinder 43 extends first to block the product, and the rear output end of the second slide cylinder 43 extends again, and then the front and rear output ends of the first slide cylinders 42 extend at the same time to clamp and position the product. At this time, the conveyor line 41 stops, and the product is positioned directly below the feeding mechanism 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a second bracket 31, a suction plate 32, a z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 and an x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34. The second bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5 and is located at the top of the mounting frame 5. The x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34 is assembled on both sides of the second bracket, the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 is assembled on one side of the x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34, and the suction plate 32 is assembled on one side of the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second bracket 31 provides an installation location for the remaining components of the material feeding mechanism 3. When the product is clamped and fixed to the specified position (directly below the material feeding mechanism 3) and the reinforcement plate reaches the positioning area, the x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34 moves toward the material bin 15, thereby driving the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 to approach the mounting seat 11. The z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 descends, allowing the suction disc 32 to absorb the reinforcement plate on the mounting seat 11. After removing two reinforcement plates, the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 rises, and the x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34 moves toward the product and reaches the specified position above the product. At this time, the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 descends again, attaching the reinforcement plates to the left and right wings of the product respectively. After attachment, the output ends of the first slide cylinder 42 and the second slide cylinder 43 are reset and retracted, and the assembly line starts to deliver the product.

[0033] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction interface 2 includes an interaction interface body 21 and an alarm light 22. The interaction interface body 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 5 and is located on the side of the mounting bracket 5 close to the mounting seat 11. The alarm light 22 is assembled on the top of the interaction interface body 21.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, the human-computer interaction interface 2 is used to control the entire pasting process and emergency braking. When the number of reinforcing plates in the silo 15 is insufficient and the first photoelectric sensor 14 cannot be triggered, the alarm light 22 flashes to remind workers to load the materials.

[0035] Furthermore, the mounting frame 5 includes a first bracket 51 and a universal wheel 52 . The first bracket 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11 and is located at the bottom of the mounting seat 11 . The universal wheel 52 is assembled at the bottom of the first bracket 51 .

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first bracket 51 provides support for the feeding mechanism 1, the human-machine interface 2, the material attaching mechanism 3 and the conveying mechanism 4. The provision of the universal wheel 52 facilitates the mobile transportation of the automatic reinforcement plate attaching machine.

[0037] See also Figure 5 In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a working method of an automatic reinforcing plate attaching machine, which is applied to the automatic reinforcing plate attaching machine as described in the first aspect, and comprises the following steps:

[0038] Worker S1 installs a reinforcement plate into the feeding mechanism 1 in advance, activates the feeding mechanism 1 through the human-machine interface 2, and pushes the reinforcement plate toward the material placement mechanism 3;

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, a worker manually installs a reinforcing plate on the silo 15 in advance and presses the start button on the human-machine interface 2. The two left and right cylinders 12 drive the two pushing blocks 13 to push out a reinforcing plate to the specified position, wherein the height of the pushing block 13 is slightly higher than the bottom plate of the silo 15 and lower than the thickness of a reinforcing plate. When the reinforcing plate reaches the specified position, the reinforcing plate triggers the second photoelectric sensor 17 under the mounting seat 11. At this time, the output end of the clamping cylinder 16 is pushed out to push the reinforcing plate into the positioning area. At the same time, the cylinder 12 is reset, and the reinforcing plate in the positioning area is taken away by the feeding mechanism 3. Repeat the above operation until the number of reinforcing plates in the silo 15 is insufficient and the first photoelectric sensor 14 cannot be triggered. The human-machine interface 2 will remind the worker to load the material. When the first photoelectric sensor 14 still detects that the silo 15 is insufficient after a certain period of time, the entire feeding mechanism 1 will stop working after running three times.

[0040] S2 The conveying mechanism 4 operates to transport the product to the bottom of the material attaching mechanism 3 and stops;

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the human-machine interaction interface 2 is pressed to start. The two left and right cylinders 12 drive the two pushing blocks 13 to push out a reinforcing plate to the specified position, wherein the height of the pushing block 13 is slightly higher than the bottom plate of the hopper 15 and lower than the thickness of a reinforcing plate. When the reinforcing plate reaches the specified position, the reinforcing plate triggers the second photoelectric sensor 17 under the mounting seat 11. At this time, the output end of the clamping cylinder 16 is pushed out to push the reinforcing plate into the positioning area. At the same time, the cylinder 12 is reset, and the reinforcing plate in the positioning area is taken away by the feeding mechanism 3. Repeat the above operation until the number of reinforcing plates in the hopper 15 is insufficient and the first photoelectric sensor 14 cannot be triggered. The human-machine interaction interface 2 will remind the worker to load the material. When the first photoelectric sensor 14 still detects that the hopper 15 is insufficient after a certain period of time, the entire feeding mechanism 1 will stop working after running three times.

[0042] S3: The attaching mechanism 3 moves closer to the feeding mechanism 1 and absorbs the reinforcing plate. The attaching mechanism 3 moves away from the feeding mechanism 1 and resets, lowering the reinforcing plate and attaching it to the product above the conveying mechanism 4.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34 moves toward the hopper 15, thereby driving the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 to approach the mounting seat 11, and the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 descends, so that the suction disc 32 absorbs the reinforcing plate on the mounting seat 11. After removing the two reinforcing plates, the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 rises, and the x-axis synchronous belt linear module 34 moves toward the product and reaches a specified position above the product. At this time, the z-axis synchronous belt linear module 33 descends again, and the reinforcing plates are respectively attached to the left and right wings of the product.

[0044] S4 conveying mechanism 4 moves again to deliver the product after pasting.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the output ends of the first slide cylinder 42 and the second slide cylinder 43 are reset and retracted, and the assembly line is started to deliver the products.
