Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of precision equipment technology, and in particular to a foam dispensing and mounting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In current manufacturing, automated production has become a mainstream trend, aiming to build unmanned workshops to reduce labor costs and achieve intelligent production. For products requiring high-precision mounting of auxiliary materials, especially foam exceeding 1200 mm in length, due to its length, soft texture, and susceptibility to deformation, traditional production processes mainly rely on manual or semi-automatic equipment for slitting, handling, and transfer, presenting the following prominent problems:
[0003] First, manual material sorting and handling are labor-intensive and inefficient, typically requiring two or more people to operate together. Prolonged work can easily lead to worker fatigue, affecting operational consistency and safety. Second, manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the stability of the foam's shape during sorting and transfer. Pulling, folding, or uneven stress can easily cause the foam to stretch, deform, or even be damaged, affecting the accuracy and pass rate of subsequent bonding. Furthermore, in production lines with limited space, achieving rapid, accurate, and automated sorting and transfer of extra-long foam, and ensuring its efficient integration with subsequent bonding processes, has become a key bottleneck restricting the automation level and overall cycle time improvement of the production line.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specialized mechanism that can achieve automated material distribution and stable handling of ultra-long strip foam and seamless integration with the bonding process, so as to reduce the intensity of manual intervention, improve material flow efficiency, and ensure the integrity of foam shape, thereby meeting the material supply needs of modern mass production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a foam material distribution and mounting mechanism, which aims to solve the problems of high manual labor intensity, poor product effect due to manual operation, and easy fatigue of personnel.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a foam dispensing and bonding mechanism, including a gantry frame, a material picking assembly, and a rotary peeling assembly.
[0007] The gantry frame is used to support and move the material handling assembly;
[0008] The material handling assembly includes an upward-pulling cylinder, a first gripper, and a second gripper, used to grip a single piece of foam.
[0009] The rotary peeling assembly includes a servo motor, a foam pressure strip semicircular block, and a clamping cylinder, which is used to process the whole board of foam and realize the rotary peeling and mounting of the foam.
[0010] The foam pressure strip semicircular block is configured to absorb the release paper of the foam and bend the foam inward to form a clamping space. The first clamp and the second clamp press down on the foam pressure strip semicircular block to clamp a single piece of foam horizontally.
[0011] Optionally, the material picking component and the rotary peeling component are integrated into a single foam strip picking and mounting mechanism. The single foam strip picking and mounting mechanism moves between the foam hopper and the product mounting position via the gantry frame to pick up a whole sheet of foam from the foam hopper and mount it onto the product.
[0012] Optionally, the surface of the foam strip semicircular block is provided with release paper to adsorb and fix the whole board of foam, and to bend the whole board of foam inward to generate an angle, and to rotate under the drive of a servo motor to assist in the peeling and bending of the foam.
[0013] Optionally, the first and second grippers are driven by an upward-pulling cylinder to press down synchronously onto the semi-circular block of the foam strip to horizontally grip a single piece of foam.
[0014] Optionally, the mechanism further includes a foam suction cup, which is disposed on the material picking component and is used to pick up the whole sheet of foam onto the foam pressure strip semicircular block;
[0015] Furthermore, the foam suction cup absorbs the entire sheet of foam through negative pressure adsorption.
[0016] Optionally, the length of a single foam strand is not less than 1200 mm, enabling high-precision mounting of ultra-long foam strands.
[0017] Optionally, the gantry frame adopts a robot and cylinder-assisted structure to enhance overall stability and reliability, and to achieve automated layout within a limited space.
[0018] Optionally, the clamping cylinder cooperates with the foam pressing strip semicircular block to lock the foam position after the foam is bent, providing operating space for the clamping of the first and second clamps.
[0019] Optionally, the mechanism controls the mounting angle and position via a servo motor of the rotating peeling assembly.
[0020] Optionally, during operation, the mechanism achieves full automation of the slitting, peeling, and mounting process of the entire sheet of foam through the synergistic action of the material picking component and the rotary peeling component.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0022] 1. The foam material distribution and mounting mechanism of this invention utilizes a gantry frame to construct a three-dimensional mobile operating platform, combined with robot-assisted positioning, to achieve fully automated transfer of ultra-long foam from the hopper to the mounting station. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual handling and improves the continuous operation capability of the production line. The use of semi-circular pressure strips to bend the entire foam board creates a natural material distribution space. Combined with a coordinated gripper and suction cup mechanism, stable and damage-free material distribution and handling of individual foam strips is achieved, effectively preventing stretching, deformation, or damage during the transfer process. The mechanism precisely controls the foam's transport path and posture through a servo drive system, ensuring consistent material distribution positions and providing a stable and accurate material supply for subsequent bonding processes, greatly improving mounting accuracy and product yield.
[0023] 2. The foam feeding and bonding mechanism of this invention integrates the material picking component and the rotary peeling component into a single bonding mechanism driven by a gantry frame, achieving modularization and integration of material picking, transfer, and bonding functions. This greatly simplifies the equipment structure, reduces the inertia of moving parts, and makes the movement of the mechanism between the foam hopper and the product station faster and more precise, effectively improving the equipment's cycle time and production efficiency, while enhancing its layout adaptability and versatility within limited space. Through fully automated operation, it completely replaces the traditional manual operation mode, significantly reducing labor costs and avoiding quality fluctuations caused by human factors, achieving standardized and highly reliable production of ultra-long foam feeding and handling.
[0024] 3. The foam feeding and mounting mechanism of this invention, through the design of adsorbing release paper on the surface of the semi-circular foam pressure strip and driving the foam to bend inward, combined with the rotational motion controlled by a servo motor, achieves a gradual, low-impact peeling method. This method significantly reduces the peeling force required when separating the foam from the release paper, avoiding the foam bouncing or positional displacement caused by traditional direct tearing, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the state of each foam strip when peeled.
[0025] 4. The foam feeding and mounting mechanism of this invention uses gripper one and gripper two to achieve synchronous downward pressing and horizontal clamping via an upward-pulling cylinder, ensuring that the clamping force is evenly distributed at both ends of the entire extra-long foam. This symmetrical and synchronous clamping action effectively prevents the foam from tilting or twisting on one side during the clamping process, perfectly maintaining the original flatness of the foam and avoiding mechanical damage caused by improper clamping.
[0026] 5. The foam feeding and mounting mechanism of this invention is specifically designed for handling extra-long foams with a length of 1200 mm or more, and completely replaces the original manual operation mode that required two people through fully automated operation. This not only significantly reduces labor costs and labor intensity, but also eliminates quality fluctuations caused by human factors through precise equipment control, achieving standardization and high precision in the mounting of extra-long foams.

[0036] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-6 An embodiment of the present invention provides a foam dispensing and mounting mechanism, including a gantry frame 1, a material picking assembly 2, and a rotary peeling assembly 3;
[0039] The gantry frame 1 is used to support and move the material handling assembly 2;
[0040] The material handling component 2 includes an upward-pulling cylinder 21, a first gripper 22 and a second gripper 23, which are used to grip a single piece of foam 8;
[0041] The rotary peeling assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31, a foam pressure strip semi-circular block 32, and a clamping cylinder 33, which are used to process the whole board of foam 6 and realize the rotary peeling and mounting of the foam.
[0042] The foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 is configured to absorb the release paper of the foam and bend the foam inward to form a clamping space. The first clamp 22 and the second clamp 23 are driven by the upward cylinder 21 to press down synchronously onto the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 to horizontally clamp a single piece of foam 8.
[0043] The foam feeding and mounting mechanism includes a gantry frame 1, a picking assembly 2, and a rotary peeling assembly 3. The gantry frame 1 achieves three-dimensional movement using linear guides and a drive motor, common in existing technologies, to support and precisely position the picking assembly 2. The picking assembly 2 consists of an upward-pulling cylinder 21, a first gripper 22, and a second gripper 23. The first and second grippers 22 are pneumatic parallel grippers, achieving vertical movement through synchronous drive of the upward-pulling cylinder 21. The rotary peeling assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31, a foam pressure strip semi-circular block 32, and a clamping cylinder 33. The surface of the foam pressure strip semi-circular block 32 is provided with vacuum adsorption holes for adsorbing release paper.
[0044] The surface features uniformly distributed vacuum adsorption pores with a diameter of 0.5-1 mm and a spacing of 10-20 mm, connected to an external vacuum generator via internal air channels. The upward-pulling cylinder 21 is a dual-rod cylinder controlled by a solenoid valve and equipped with a magnetic induction position sensor (such as SMC D-M9B) for precise control of the downward pressure position. The gripper is connected to the upward-pulling cylinder 21 via a crossbar to ensure synchronized movement.
[0045] During operation, the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 uses vacuum adsorption to fix the release paper of the entire foam board 6, and bends the foam inward to form an arc structure, thereby creating a clamping space. Grippers 22 and 23, driven by the upward-pulling cylinder 21, synchronously press down onto the surface of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32, horizontally clamping a single piece of foam 8. By precisely controlling the stroke and pressure of the upward-pulling cylinder 21, the natural drop difference of a single piece of foam 8 after clamping is controlled within 0.5 mm, ensuring that the foam is not stretched or deformed. The curved structure of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 allows the extra-long foam to form a natural arc during the peeling process, reducing the internal stress of the foam and avoiding tearing or wrinkling. The synchronous pressing and horizontal clamping mechanism of the grippers ensures the linear consistency of the foam, significantly reducing positional deviation during the mounting process, improving mounting accuracy and product yield.
[0046] In some embodiments, the material picking component 2 and the rotary peeling component 3 are integrated into a single foam strip picking and mounting mechanism. The single foam strip picking and mounting mechanism moves between the foam hopper 5 and the product mounting position via the gantry frame 1 to pick up a whole sheet of foam 6 from the foam hopper 5 and mount it onto the product.
[0047] It should be noted that the material picking component 2 and the rotary peeling component 3 are integrated into a single foam strip picking and placement mechanism, which is fixed to the moving platform of the gantry 1 by bolts. The gantry 1 is controlled by a servo system and moves along a preset path between the foam hopper 5 and the product placement position. The foam hopper 5 adopts a multi-layer drawer design to store whole sheets of foam 6. The single foam strip picking and placement mechanism first moves above the foam hopper 5, picks up the whole sheet of foam 6 through the rotary peeling component 3, and then moves it above the product for placement. The integrated design reduces the complexity of the mechanism, lowers the moment of inertia, and makes the movement faster and more precise.
[0048] In some embodiments, the surface of the foam strip semicircular block 32 is provided with release paper that adsorbs and fixes the whole board foam 6, and the whole board foam 6 is bent inward to generate an angle, and rotates under the drive of servo motor 31 to assist in the peeling and bending of the foam.
[0049] It should be noted that the surface of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 is covered with a flexible material such as silicone and connected to an external vacuum generator to enhance the adsorption force on the release paper. When the entire sheet of foam 6 is adsorbed, the arc-shaped surface of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 causes the foam to bend inward, forming an angle. The servo motor 31 drives the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 on the transmission roller through gear and belt drive, driving it to rotate 0°-180°, thereby gradually peeling off the foam.
[0050] The arc-shaped bending structure of the foam strip semicircular block 32 reduces the peeling resistance of the foam and prevents sudden bouncing of the foam during separation. The rotational motion controlled by the servo motor 31 achieves smooth peeling, avoids uneven force in manual peeling, and improves slitting efficiency and foam integrity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first gripper 22 and the second gripper 23 are simultaneously pressed down onto the foam strip semicircular block 32 by the upward-pulling cylinder 21 to horizontally grip a single piece of foam 8.
[0052] It should be noted that grippers 22 and 23 are connected by the piston rod of the upward-pulling cylinder 21, achieving synchronized vertical movement. The gripping surfaces of grippers 22 and 23 are equipped with anti-slip textures to increase friction. When the grippers press down onto the semi-circular block 32 of the foam strip, they simultaneously clamp from both ends of the foam, ensuring uniform force across the entire length of the foam. This synchronized clamping mechanism eliminates the risk of localized deformation of the foam, maintaining its original flatness.
[0053] Grippers 1 (22) and 23 (23) are pneumatic parallel grippers with V-shaped or serrated anti-slip textures on the gripping surfaces. The textures are 0.2-0.5 mm deep and made of wear-resistant rubber to increase friction.
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the mechanism also includes a foam suction cup 7, which is disposed on the material picking component 2 and is used to pick up the whole sheet of foam 6 onto the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32; and the foam suction cup 7 picks up the whole sheet of foam 6 by negative pressure adsorption.
[0055] It should be noted that the foam suction cup 7 is installed on the side of the material handling assembly 2 and is connected to a negative pressure system, such as a vacuum pump, via piping. The foam suction cup 7 employs an array of multiple silicone suction cups to disperse the adsorption force. During material handling, the foam suction cup 7 descends to the foam hopper 5, adsorbs the entire sheet of foam 6 through negative pressure, and then lifts and transfers the foam onto the semi-circular block 32 of the foam pressing strip. The multi-suction cup array design adapts to variations in the size of the entire sheet of foam 6, ensuring uniform and reliable adsorption.
[0056] Furthermore, the foam suction cup 7 consists of multiple silicone suction cups (10-20 mm in diameter) arranged in a matrix with a spacing of 50-100 mm. The total number of suction cups is determined according to the size of the foam (usually 4-8). The foam suction cup 7 is connected to a vacuum pump (vacuum pressure of -0.06 to -0.08 MPa) through a common air path. A vacuum switch sensor (such as the SMC ZSE series) is installed in the air path to detect the adsorption state.
[0057] The foam hopper 5 features a multi-layer drawer-style structure, with each layer equipped with positioning pins and guide rails (using linear bearings) to ensure accurate placement of the entire foam sheet 6. The drawers are cylinder-driven (such as the SMC MGPM series) and can automatically pop out and retract. A photoelectric sensor is located on the top of the hopper to detect the presence of foam.
[0058] In some embodiments, the length of a single foam 8 is not less than 1200 mm, enabling high-precision mounting of ultra-long foam.
[0059] It should be noted that the length of a single foam piece 8 ranges from 1200 mm to 2000 mm, and the mechanism achieves fully automated operation through a PLC programmable logic controller system. The PLC controls the coordinated movement of the gantry 1, the material handling assembly 2, and the rotary peeling assembly 3, replacing the traditional manual operation mode of two people working together. The automated system can accurately handle extra-long foam pieces, overcoming the accuracy reduction problem caused by fatigue in manual placement. High-precision control ensures that the positional error of foam placement is less than 0.1 mm, significantly improving product consistency and production efficiency.
[0060] In some embodiments, the gantry 1 employs a robot and cylinder-assisted structure to enhance overall stability and reliability, and to achieve automated layout within a limited space.
[0061] It should be noted that the gantry 1 combines an external six-axis robot and a cylinder-assisted structure, with the robot responsible for macroscopic positioning and the cylinders used for fine-tuning. The crossbeam of the gantry 1 is made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight, and the base is equipped with a shock-absorbing device to enhance stability.
[0062] The crossbeam of the gantry 1 is made of aluminum alloy profile, and the base is a steel plate structure. It achieves three-dimensional movement (X, Y, Z axes) through linear guides (such as HIWIN EG series) and servo drive motors (such as Panasonic MINAS A6 series).
[0063] A six-axis robot (such as the Fanuc LR Mate 200iD) is mounted on one side of the gantry 1 for macroscopic positioning. The robot's end effector is connected to the material handling assembly 2 via a flange. The cylinder auxiliary structure uses small cylinders (such as the SMC CJ2 series).
[0064] In some embodiments, the clamping cylinder 33 cooperates with the foam pressing strip semicircular block 32 to lock the foam position after the foam is bent, providing operating space for the clamping of the first clamp 22 and the second clamp 23.
[0065] It should be noted that the clamping cylinder 33 is located to the side of the semi-circular block 32 of the foam pressing strip, and locks the foam position via a pneumatically driven clamping arm. When the foam bends, the clamping arm of the clamping cylinder 33 extends, pressing down on the edge of the foam and fixing its shape. The locking function of the clamping cylinder 33 prevents the foam from springing back after bending, ensuring the stability of the clamping space. This reduces the positioning time of the grippers, improves operational efficiency, and reduces the risk of foam displacement.
[0066] The clamping cylinder 33 is a swing cylinder or a linear cylinder (such as the SMC CDQ2B series) that drives a pair of clamping arms. The ends of the clamping arms have rubber pads that press the edges of the foam in a soft contact manner.
[0067] The opening and closing of the clamping arms are controlled by a solenoid valve and are synchronized with the movement of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32. When the foam bends, the clamping arms of the clamping cylinder 33 extend to hold it in place.
[0068] In some embodiments, the mechanism controls the mounting angle and position via the servo motor 31 of the rotating peeling assembly 3.
[0069] It should be noted that the servo motor 31 preferentially uses a high-resolution encoder to communicate with the PLC system and adjust the rotation angle and position in real time. During the mounting process, the servo motor 31 controls the rotation of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 according to the contour of the product surface, so that the foam fits the product at the optimal angle. The closed-loop control of the servo motor 31 realizes the dynamic adjustment of the mounting angle, adapting to the irregularity of the product surface.
[0070] During operation, the mechanism achieves full automation of the slitting, peeling, and mounting process of the entire foam board 6 through the coordinated action of the material picking component 2 and the rotary peeling component 3.
[0071] It should be noted that the mechanism achieves fully automated slitting, peeling, and mounting of the entire sheet of foam 6 through the coordinated operation of the material picking component 2 and the rotary peeling component 3. The PLC system coordinates the actions of each component; for example, the material picking component 2 immediately grips the foam after the rotary peeling component 3 completes bending, forming a continuous operation process. The fully automated process eliminates variations caused by human intervention, ensuring the stability of the production rhythm. The coordinated operation reduces waiting time between processes, improves overall efficiency by more than 30%, and significantly reduces labor costs and workload.
[0072] Furthermore, the PLC system adjusts the cylinder stroke in real time by reading feedback from the cylinder position sensor. The control algorithm uses PID regulation to ensure precise control of the distance between the gripper and the surface of the foam pressure strip semicircular block 32 when the gripper presses down. The natural droop difference is kept within 0.5 mm by adjusting the gripping speed and lifting speed. The PLC system uses the Siemens S7-1200 series, equipped with digital and analog input / output modules, as well as communication modules (such as PROFINET) to communicate with the servo motor 31 and the sensors.
[0073] In practical application, the integrated material handling assembly 2 and rotary peeling assembly 3 are first moved above the foam hopper 5 via the gantry frame 1. The foam suction cup 7 uses negative pressure to pick up the entire sheet of foam 6 and transfers it to the foam pressing strip semicircular block 32 of the rotary peeling assembly 3. The foam pressing strip semicircular block 32 has vacuum suction holes on its surface to adhere and fix the release paper of the entire sheet of foam 6, causing the entire sheet of foam 6 to bend inwards at an angle, forming a clamping space. Simultaneously, the clamping cylinder 33 cooperates with the foam pressing strip semicircular block 32 to lock the foam position. Subsequently, the upward pull cylinder 21 of the material handling assembly 2 drives the first clamp 22 and the second clamp 23 to press down synchronously. On the foam strip semicircular block 32, a single piece of foam 8 is horizontally clamped, and through precise control, the natural drooping difference of the single piece of foam 8 is ensured to be within 0.5 mm. The servo motor 31 of the rotating peeling component 3 drives the foam strip semicircular block 32 to rotate, assisting in the peeling and bending of the foam, and achieving smooth peeling of ultra-long foam. Finally, the gantry 1 moves the material picking component 2 to the product mounting position, and the mounting angle and position are controlled by the servo motor 31 to complete the precise mounting of the foam. Throughout the process, the mechanism achieves full automation of the slitting, peeling and mounting of the whole board of foam 6 through the synergistic action of the material picking component 2 and the rotating peeling component 3.
