Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible product receiving equipment technology, specifically to a receiving equipment for upstream and downstream flexible products. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of flexible products, upstream and downstream material receiving is a crucial link. Traditional material receiving devices struggle to achieve precise connection with upstream and downstream equipment during product feeding, resulting in low feeding accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material receiving device for upstream and downstream of flexible products, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A material receiving device for upstream and downstream of flexible products includes an auxiliary material receiving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a lifting fine-tuning mechanism. The auxiliary material receiving mechanism includes two auxiliary material receiving components, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting mechanism. Each auxiliary material receiving component includes a horizontal driving device and a horizontal material receiving frame. The horizontal driving device drives the horizontal material receiving frame to move along the X direction. The horizontal material receiving frame is provided with a first vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product.

[0006] The lifting mechanism includes a synchronous lifting machine and a lifting support. The synchronous lifting machine drives the lifting support to rise and fall. The lifting support includes a central lifting structure. The upper surface of the central lifting structure is flush with the upper surface and the central lifting structure is used to receive the product from the first vacuum adsorption seat.

[0007] The lifting and fine-tuning mechanism includes a fine-tuning lifting device, a fine-tuning side plate, and a fine-tuning sensor. The fine-tuning lifting device is arranged on both sides of the lifting bracket. The fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to rise and fall. The fine-tuning side plate is provided with a second vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product. The fine-tuning sensor is arranged on the lifting bracket and is used to detect the lifting accuracy of the product located on the second vacuum adsorption seat.

[0008] In this technical solution, the auxiliary receiving component includes a horizontal drive device and a horizontal receiving frame. The horizontal drive device drives the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction. The horizontal receiving frame is equipped with a first vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product. The first vacuum adsorption seat can adsorb and fix the edge of the flexible product, ensuring the stability of subsequent product position adjustment in the X direction without damaging the product. When it is necessary to receive material from the upstream equipment, the horizontal drive device drives the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction until the two horizontal receiving frames are in the initial receiving position. This auxiliary receiving component can cooperate with the upstream equipment to make appropriate adjustments to the receiving position to better complete the initial receiving action. At the same time, after the initial receiving is completed, if the product is not in the center position, the horizontal drive device can drive the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction again to adjust the product's position in the X direction so that the subsequent lifting mechanism receives the product in the center position. This center position determines the matching of the product's position in the X direction with the downstream equipment's picking position.

[0009] Since the lifting mechanism includes a synchronous lifting machine and a lifting support, the synchronous lifting machine drives the lifting support to rise and fall. The lifting support includes a middle lifting structure. The upper surface of the middle lifting structure is flush and the middle lifting structure is used to receive the product from the first vacuum adsorption seat. The synchronous lifting machine can smoothly drive the lifting support to rise and fall. The middle lifting structure of the lifting support provides stable support for the flexible product. With the rising action, the product located on the first vacuum adsorption seat can be smoothly removed, and the height position of the product can be initially adjusted.

[0010] The lifting and fine-tuning mechanism includes a fine-tuning lifting device, a fine-tuning side plate, and a fine-tuning sensor. The fine-tuning lifting device is located on both sides of the lifting bracket. The fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to rise and fall. The fine-tuning side plate is equipped with a second vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product. The fine-tuning sensor is located on the lifting bracket and is used to detect the lifting accuracy of the product located on the second vacuum adsorption seat. Specifically, when the lifting bracket picks up the material from the first vacuum adsorption seat, the fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to descend until its upper end is lower than the upper end of the lifting bracket to avoid the lifting bracket from receiving the material. After the lifting bracket receives the material and adjusts the initial height position of the product, the fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to rise. The second vacuum adsorption seat on the fine-tuning side plate receives the material, removes the product from the lifting bracket, and performs height fine-tuning. During this process, the fine-tuning sensor detects the lifting height of the product located on the second vacuum adsorption seat. The fine-tuning lifting device controls the lifting stroke according to the feedback information of the fine-tuning sensor until the height position of the product is adjusted to the picking height position that matches the downstream equipment, thereby improving the picking accuracy of the downstream equipment.

[0011] In summary, this technical solution, during the material feeding process, utilizes an auxiliary material receiving device to connect with the upstream equipment, ensuring smooth material receiving and allowing for adjustment of the product's position in the X direction after receiving. This improves the product's alignment with the downstream equipment's picking position in the X direction. Simultaneously, a lifting mechanism receives the material and initially adjusts the product's height, followed by a fine-tuning mechanism to precisely adjust the product's height until it matches the downstream equipment's picking height. Overall, this solution achieves stable, efficient, and precise material feeding, resolving the issues of insufficient precision and inaccurate material feeding in existing technologies that hinder precise connection with upstream and downstream equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to provide a simple and stable support structure, the central lifting structure includes multiple vertical plates spaced apart along the X direction, with the tops of the multiple vertical plates flush and the vertical plates parallel to the fine-tuning side plates.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to avoid wear and tear on the flexible product, a support pad is provided at the upper end of the vertical plate along its length, and the support pad is used to support the product.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to achieve a large-area stable lifting support effect and provide a simple lifting bracket, the synchronous lifting machine is a screw synchronous lifting machine. The lifting bracket includes multiple heightening columns and a crossbeam. The multiple heightening columns are respectively connected to the corresponding lifting rods of the screw synchronous lifting machine. The crossbeam is set on two heightening columns on the same side. The vertical plates are spaced along the length of the crossbeam. The fine-tuning lifting device is set at the end of the crossbeam. The fine-tuning side plate is provided with multiple upward-extending vertical columns. The second vacuum adsorption seat is set at the upper end of the vertical columns.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to provide a horizontal receiving rack with a simplified structure and low cost, the horizontal receiving rack is provided with multiple horizontally extending horizontal rods, and the first vacuum adsorption seat is disposed at the end of the horizontal rods.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of horizontal and vertical alignment fine-tuning, the horizontal drive device is a horizontal pneumatic slide, the fine-tuning lifting device is a lifting pneumatic slide, the horizontal receiving rack is located at the power output end of the horizontal pneumatic slide, and the fine-tuning side plate is located at the power output end of the lifting pneumatic slide.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to detect the limit position of the pneumatic slide and improve the safety and reliability of the equipment, a first photoelectric sensor and a second photoelectric sensor are also included. The first photoelectric sensor is used to detect the horizontal limit of the horizontal pneumatic slide, and the second photoelectric sensor is used to detect the vertical limit of the lifting pneumatic slide.

[0018] Furthermore, in order to detect the extreme positions of the lifting support and improve the safety and reliability of the equipment, a third photoelectric sensor is also included to detect the vertical limit of the lifting support.

[0019] Furthermore, in order to install and fix the horizontal drive device at a suitable height, the auxiliary receiving assembly includes a mounting bracket, on which multiple horizontal drive devices are respectively provided.

[0020] Furthermore, in order to reduce material costs, the horizontal receiving rack, vertical plate and fine-tuning side plate are all provided with several hollow openings.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this technical solution, the auxiliary receiving component includes a horizontal driving device and a horizontal receiving frame. The horizontal driving device drives the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction. The horizontal receiving frame is provided with a first vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product. The first vacuum adsorption seat can achieve adsorption and fixation of the edge of the flexible product. Without damaging the product, it can ensure the stability of subsequent position adjustment of the product in the X direction. When it is necessary to receive material from the upstream equipment, the horizontal driving device drives the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction until the two horizontal receiving frames are in the initial receiving position. This auxiliary receiving component can cooperate with the upstream equipment to make appropriate adjustments to the receiving position in order to better complete the initial receiving action. At the same time, after the initial receiving is completed, if the product is not in the center position, the horizontal driving device can drive the horizontal receiving frame to move along the X direction again to adjust the position of the product in the X direction so that the subsequent lifting mechanism receives the product in the center position. This center position determines the matching of the product in the X direction with the material picking position of the downstream equipment.

[0022] Since the lifting mechanism includes a synchronous lifting machine and a lifting support, the synchronous lifting machine drives the lifting support to rise and fall. The lifting support includes a middle lifting structure. The upper surface of the middle lifting structure is flush and the middle lifting structure is used to receive the product from the first vacuum adsorption seat. The synchronous lifting machine can smoothly drive the lifting support to rise and fall. The middle lifting structure of the lifting support provides stable support for the flexible product. With the rising action, the product located on the first vacuum adsorption seat can be smoothly removed, and the height position of the product can be initially adjusted.

[0023] The lifting and fine-tuning mechanism includes a fine-tuning lifting device, a fine-tuning side plate, and a fine-tuning sensor. The fine-tuning lifting device is located on both sides of the lifting bracket. The fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to rise and fall. The fine-tuning side plate is equipped with a second vacuum adsorption seat for adsorbing the edge of the product. The fine-tuning sensor is located on the lifting bracket and is used to detect the lifting accuracy of the product located on the second vacuum adsorption seat. Specifically, when the lifting bracket picks up the material from the first vacuum adsorption seat, the fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to descend until its upper end is lower than the upper end of the lifting bracket to avoid the lifting bracket from receiving the material. After the lifting bracket receives the material and adjusts the initial height position of the product, the fine-tuning lifting device drives the fine-tuning side plate to rise. The second vacuum adsorption seat on the fine-tuning side plate receives the material, removes the product from the lifting bracket, and performs height fine-tuning. During this process, the fine-tuning sensor detects the lifting height of the product located on the second vacuum adsorption seat. The fine-tuning lifting device controls the lifting stroke according to the feedback information of the fine-tuning sensor until the height position of the product is adjusted to the picking height position that matches the downstream equipment, thereby improving the picking accuracy of the downstream equipment.

[0024] In summary, this technical solution, during the material feeding process, utilizes an auxiliary material receiving device to connect with the upstream equipment, ensuring smooth material receiving and allowing for adjustment of the product's position in the X direction after receiving. This improves the product's alignment with the downstream equipment's picking position in the X direction. Simultaneously, a lifting mechanism receives the material and initially adjusts the product's height, followed by a fine-tuning mechanism to precisely adjust the product's height until it matches the downstream equipment's picking height. Overall, this solution achieves stable, efficient, and precise material feeding, resolving the issues of insufficient precision and inaccurate material feeding in existing technologies that hinder precise connection with upstream and downstream equipment.

Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a material receiving device for upstream and downstream of flexible products, including an auxiliary material receiving mechanism, a lifting mechanism 1 and a lifting fine adjustment mechanism. The auxiliary material receiving mechanism includes two auxiliary material receiving components 2, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting mechanism 1. The auxiliary material receiving components 2 include a horizontal driving device 3 and a horizontal material receiving frame 4. The horizontal driving device 3 drives the horizontal material receiving frame 4 to move along the X direction. The horizontal material receiving frame 4 is provided with a first vacuum adsorption seat 6 for adsorbing the edge of the product 5.

[0033] The lifting mechanism 1 includes a synchronous lifting machine 7 and a lifting support 8. The synchronous lifting machine 7 drives the lifting support 8 to lift. The lifting support 8 includes a central lifting structure 9. The upper end face of the central lifting structure 9 is flush and the central lifting structure 9 is used to receive the product 5 from the first vacuum adsorption seat 6.

[0034] The lifting and fine-tuning mechanism includes a fine-tuning lifting device 10, a fine-tuning side plate 11, and a fine-tuning sensor 12. The fine-tuning lifting device 10 is arranged on both sides of the lifting bracket 8. The fine-tuning lifting device 10 drives the fine-tuning side plate 11 to rise and fall. The fine-tuning side plate 11 is provided with a second vacuum adsorption seat 13 for adsorbing the edge of the product 5. The fine-tuning sensor 12 is arranged on the lifting bracket 8 and is used to detect the lifting accuracy of the product 5 located on the second vacuum adsorption seat 13.

[0035] In this technical solution, the auxiliary receiving component 2 includes a horizontal drive device 3 and a horizontal receiving frame 4. The horizontal drive device 3 drives the horizontal receiving frame 4 to move along the X direction. The horizontal receiving frame 4 is equipped with a first vacuum adsorption seat 6 for adsorbing the edge of the product 5. The first vacuum adsorption seat 6 can achieve adsorption and fixation of the edge of the flexible product 5, ensuring the stability of subsequent position adjustment of the product 5 in the X direction without damaging the product 5. When it is necessary to receive material from the upstream equipment, the horizontal drive device 3 drives the horizontal receiving frame 4 to move along the X direction until the two horizontal receiving frames 4 are in the initial receiving position. The auxiliary receiving component 2 can cooperate with the upstream equipment to make appropriate adjustments to the receiving position in order to better complete the initial receiving action. At the same time, after the initial receiving is completed, if the product 5 is not in the center position, the horizontal drive device 3 can drive the horizontal receiving frame 4 to move along the X direction again to adjust the position of the product 5 in the X direction, so that the lifting mechanism 1 can receive the product 5 in the center position. This center position determines the matching of the product 5 in the X direction with the material picking position of the downstream equipment.

[0036] Since the lifting mechanism 1 includes a synchronous lifting machine 7 and a lifting support 8, the synchronous lifting machine 7 drives the lifting support 8 to rise and fall. The lifting support 8 includes a middle lifting structure 9. The upper end face of the middle lifting structure 9 is flush and the middle lifting structure 9 is used to receive the product 5 from the first vacuum adsorption seat 6. The synchronous lifting machine 7 can smoothly drive the lifting support 8 to rise and fall. The middle lifting structure 9 of the lifting support 8 can provide stable support for the flexible product 5. With the rising action, the product 5 located on the first vacuum adsorption seat 6 can be smoothly removed, and the height position of the product 5 can be initially adjusted.

[0037] The lifting and fine-tuning mechanism includes a fine-tuning lifting device 10, a fine-tuning side plate 11, and a fine-tuning sensor 12. The fine-tuning lifting device 10 is located on both sides of the lifting bracket 8. The fine-tuning lifting device 10 drives the fine-tuning side plate 11 to rise and fall. The fine-tuning side plate 11 is provided with a second vacuum adsorption seat 13 for adsorbing the edge of the product 5. The fine-tuning sensor 12 is located on the lifting bracket 8 and is used to detect the lifting accuracy of the product 5 located on the second vacuum adsorption seat 13. Specifically, when the lifting bracket 8 takes material from the first vacuum adsorption seat 6, the fine-tuning lifting device 10 drives the fine-tuning side plate 11 to descend until its upper end is lower than the upper end of the lifting bracket 8. To avoid obstructing the lifting bracket 8 from receiving the material, after the lifting bracket 8 receives the material and the initial height position of the product 5 is adjusted, the fine-tuning lifting device 10 drives the fine-tuning side plate 11 to rise. The second vacuum adsorption seat 13 on the fine-tuning side plate 11 receives the material, and the product 5 on the lifting bracket 8 is removed and its height is finely adjusted. During this process, the fine-tuning sensor 12 detects the lifting height of the product 5 located on the second vacuum adsorption seat 13. The fine-tuning lifting device 10 controls the lifting stroke according to the feedback information of the fine-tuning sensor 12 until the height position of the product 5 is adjusted to the material picking height position that matches the downstream equipment, thereby improving the accuracy of the downstream equipment picking up the material.

[0038] In summary, this technical solution, during the material feeding process, utilizes an auxiliary material receiving device to connect with the upstream equipment, ensuring smooth material receiving and allowing adjustment of the product 5's position in the X direction after receiving. This improves the matching degree between the product 5 and the downstream equipment's picking position in the X direction. Simultaneously, a lifting mechanism 1 receives the material and makes an initial adjustment to the height of the product 5, followed by a fine-tuning mechanism to adjust the height until it matches the picking height of the downstream equipment. Overall, this solution achieves stable, efficient, and precise material feeding, solving the problem of insufficient precision in material feeding and connection with upstream and downstream equipment in existing technologies.
