However, the traditional film material stacking method mainly relies on manual operation or semi-automatic mechanical devices, which has the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and low stacking precision.

[0003] In order to improve production efficiency and product quality, full-automatic stacking equipment for film materials has gradually appeared in the market.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a first aspect embodiment of the present invention provides a fully automatic membrane stacking machine.

[0030] An automated membrane stacking machine includes a first base 1, a second base 2, an electric lifting platform 3, and a clamping mechanism 4. A transport mechanism 5 is provided between the front end of the first base 1 and the front end of the second base 2. The electric lifting platform 3 is located between the first base 1 and the second base 2. The clamping mechanism 4 includes a crossbeam 6, and a gripper assembly 7 is provided in the middle of the crossbeam 6. A linear drive mechanism 8 is provided at the top of both the first base 1 and the second base 2. The two ends of the crossbeam 6 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two linear drive mechanisms 8. The transport mechanism 5 and the gripper assembly 7 are both located at the top of the electric lifting platform 3.

[0031] After the membrane material is introduced into the transport mechanism 5, it is transported to the clamping mechanism 4. The clamping mechanism 4 then clamps the membrane material and, via a linear drive mechanism 8, transports it to the electric lifting platform 3. This arrangement allows the membrane material to be transported only to one side of the clamping mechanism 4, significantly reducing the overall volume and simplifying equipment installation and layout adjustments. Due to the optimized structural design, the amount of material used and manufacturing processes are reduced, effectively lowering equipment costs and manufacturing difficulty. Furthermore, it enables efficient and precise gripping and stacking of membrane materials, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. Simultaneously, this stacking machine can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate different sizes and types of membrane materials, meeting diverse production needs.

[0032] This embodiment describes a fully automatic membrane stacking machine. The gripper assembly 7 includes a connecting top plate 9 and a connecting side plate 10. A first driving cylinder 11 is disposed on the inner side of the connecting side plate 10. A movable block 12 is disposed at the output end of the first driving cylinder 11. A movable clamping plate 13 is disposed at the bottom of the movable block 12. A fixed clamping plate 14 is disposed at the bottom front end of the connecting side plate 10. The movable clamping plate 13 is located at the bottom of the fixed clamping plate 14. The top of the connecting side plate 10 is connected to the bottom of the connecting top plate 9. The connecting top plate 9 is movably connected to the bottom of the crossbeam 6. Specifically, by setting the connecting top plate 9 and the connecting side plate 10, and configuring the first driving cylinder 11 on the inner side of the connecting side plate 10, precise control of the movable block 12 and its bottom movable clamping plate 13 is achieved. The cooperation between the fixed clamping plate 14 and the movable clamping plate 13 ensures the stability and safety of the membrane material during the gripping process, avoids slippage or damage to the membrane material, and improves the stacking accuracy.

[0033] It is understandable that the connecting top plate 9 and the crossbeam 6 are detachable, and the position of the connecting top plate 9 can be adjusted according to different membrane materials to ensure a good clamping effect.

[0034] The fully automatic film stacking machine described in this embodiment has a positioning plate 18 on the inner side of the first base 1 and the inner side of the second base 2. The positioning plate 18 is equipped with a first rotary motor 19 and a second rotary motor 20. The output end of the first rotary motor 19 is equipped with a first rotating block 21, and the output end of the second rotary motor 20 is equipped with a second rotating block 22. The first rotary motor 19 and the second rotary motor 20 are located at the front and rear ends of the electric lifting platform 3, respectively. Specifically, the first rotary motor 19 and the second rotary motor 20 drive the first rotary block 21 and the second rotary block 22 to rotate, respectively, which can position the membrane material on the electric lifting platform 3. The first rotary block 21 and the second rotary block 22 are arranged to be positioned alternately. The front end of the newly stacked membrane material can be opened first to let the front end of the membrane material fall down. At this time, the second rotary block 22 is kept on top of the membrane material. Then the first rotary block 21 is rotated to the top of the membrane material to position the front end of the membrane material. Then the second rotary block 22 is rotated to open to let the rear end of the membrane material fall down. Then the second rotary block 22 is rotated to the top of the membrane material to achieve positioning. The above arrangement ensures that the membrane material on the electric lifting platform 3 can be positioned.

[0035] This embodiment describes a fully automatic membrane stacking machine. Each positioning plate 18 is equipped with a mounting plate 23, and each mounting plate 23 is equipped with an infrared sensor 24, with two infrared sensors 24 corresponding to each other. Specifically, the mounting plate 23 on the positioning plate 18 is equipped with an infrared sensor 24 for real-time monitoring of the position and status of the membrane material, ensuring precise control of the membrane material during transportation and stacking. The electric lifting platform 3 is maintained at a relatively high height to facilitate membrane material stacking. Each time a membrane material is stacked on the electric lifting platform 3, the infrared sensor 24 can detect the topmost membrane material and then control the electric lifting platform 3 to descend by the thickness of one sheet of membrane material.

[0036] This embodiment describes a fully automatic film stacking machine. The transport mechanism 5 includes a first synchronous belt 25 and a second synchronous belt 26. A plurality of first synchronous pulleys 27 are arranged on the side of the first base 1 near the second base 2, and a plurality of second synchronous pulleys 28 are arranged on the side of the second base 2 near the first base 1. The plurality of first synchronous pulleys 27 are connected by the first synchronous belt 25, and the plurality of second synchronous pulleys 28 are connected by the second synchronous belt 26. A plurality of first protrusions 29 are arranged on the outer side of the first synchronous belt 25, and a plurality of second protrusions 30 are arranged on the outer side of the second synchronous belt 26. The first protrusions 29 and the second synchronous belts 26 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. A crossbar 31 is provided between each of the first protrusions 29 and the second protrusions 30. A drive mechanism 32 is arranged on the outer side of the second base 2. The output end of the drive mechanism 32 is connected to the first synchronous pulleys 27 and the second synchronous pulleys 28 to drive them to rotate. Specifically, by employing a first synchronous belt 25 and a second synchronous belt 26 in conjunction with multiple synchronous pulleys, the membrane material can be smoothly transferred between the two synchronous belts, reducing the inefficiencies caused by traditional manual labor or simple mechanical devices. The protrusions and crossbars 31 on the synchronous belts ensure the stability of the membrane material during transmission, avoiding deviation and wrinkling, thereby improving overall transmission efficiency. Because the synchronous belts are circular, this invention significantly reduces the overall size of the equipment, occupying less production line space compared to traditional equipment, meeting the needs of modern automated production lines for compact equipment, and adapting to various production requirements.

[0037] It is understandable that in some embodiments, replacing each timing pulley with a sprocket and each timing belt with a chain can still meet the transmission requirements of the membrane material.

[0038] Understandably, after the clamping mechanism 4 clamps the membrane material, the first synchronous belt 25 and the second synchronous belt 26 can rotate in opposite directions to prevent interference as the membrane material falls onto the electric lifting platform 3. Traditional transport mechanisms require a certain amount of space. Through the above-mentioned design, the impact of the transport mechanism of this stacking machine on the equipment volume is reduced, resulting in a compact structure and a significantly smaller overall equipment volume.

[0039] This embodiment describes a fully automatic film stacking machine. The output end of the drive mechanism 32 is equipped with a drive shaft 33. The two ends of the drive shaft 33 are rotatably connected to the first base 1 and the second base 2, respectively. The first synchronous wheel 27 and the second synchronous wheel 28 are respectively sleeved on both sides of the drive shaft 33. Specifically, the design of the drive shaft 33 simplifies the complexity of the drive mechanism. By simultaneously driving the first synchronous wheel 27 and the second synchronous wheel 28 with a single shaft, the system's integration and reliability are improved, while maintenance costs and failure rates are reduced.

[0040] This embodiment describes a fully automatic membrane stacking machine. The first base 1 has first synchronous pulleys 27 installed at both the top and bottom ends of its inner side, and the second base 2 has second synchronous pulleys 28 installed at both the top and bottom ends of its inner side. Specifically, the synchronous pulleys at the top and bottom of both the inner sides of the first base 1 and the second base 2 form a multi-layered transmission system, ensuring the stability and consistency of the membrane material throughout the transmission process, making it particularly suitable for long-distance membrane material transmission tasks.

[0041] This embodiment describes a fully automatic membrane stacking machine. The transport mechanism 5 includes three drive shafts 34, with both ends of each shaft connected to the first base 1 and the second base 2. The three drive shafts 34 and the drive shaft 33 are located at the four corners of the first base 1 and the second base 2, respectively. The first synchronous pulley 27 and the second synchronous pulley 28 are respectively sleeved on both sides of the drive shafts 34. Specifically, the rational arrangement of the three drive shafts 34 makes the entire transport mechanism more compact and stable. The coordinated work of each drive shaft 34 and the drive shaft 33 further improves the overall performance of the system, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the membrane material during high-speed transport.

[0042] This embodiment describes a fully automatic film stacking machine. Both the front ends of the first base 1 and the front ends of the second base 2 are provided with protrusions 35 extending outwards. The two ends of the drive shaft 34 are rotatably connected to the protrusions 35. Specifically, the protrusions 35 extending outwards from the front ends of the first base 1 and the second base 2 provide additional support points for the drive shaft, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the equipment, preventing mechanical deformation due to prolonged operation, and extending the equipment's service life.

[0043] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for stacking membrane materials, applied to the fully automated membrane material stacking machine described in the first aspect embodiment, the stacking method comprising: S100, The membrane material to be stacked is introduced into the transport mechanism 5; S200, the transport mechanism 5 transports the membrane material to one side of the clamping mechanism 4; S300, the clamping mechanism 4 clamps the end of the membrane material, the linear drive mechanism 8 works synchronously and moves to the edge of the electric lifting platform 3, and the transport mechanism 5 resets. S400, the membrane material is transported to the electric lifting platform 3, and the clamping mechanism 4 releases the membrane material and resets; S500, Repeat steps S100-S400.
