Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stacking technology for sheet materials, and more specifically, to a separator strip placement device and a sheet stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of sheet material processing, different types or quantities of sheets are often required to be supplied to different workstations to meet different needs. This is especially true for the production of small-batch, customized, multi-variety products with fast delivery times, where meticulous management of the quantity supplied each time is necessary.

[0003] In existing technologies, the boards are typically stacked one by one upwards during the board stacking process. During processing, suction cups are generally used to sort the boards to their corresponding workstations. However, in actual production, the number of boards fed to a single workstation is often more than one. Therefore, each feeding operation typically requires multiple transfers as many boards as are fed, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses a separator strip placement device and a board stacking device to solve the technical problem of low sorting efficiency caused by the need to sort the boards one by one after stacking them in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The isolation strip placement device provided in some embodiments of this application can be used to place isolation strips between adjacent layers of sheet materials during the stacking process, so as to facilitate unloading.

[0007] In some designs, the isolation strip placement device includes a hopper and a pushing mechanism. The hopper stores the isolation strips, and a discharge port is located at the bottom of the hopper from which the isolation strips can be discharged. The pushing mechanism includes a first mounting frame, a receiving rod, and a pushing rod. The first mounting frame is located in the hopper, and the pushing rod is movably mounted on the first mounting frame, and the pushing rod can move relative to the first mounting frame between a first position and a second position. When the pushing rod moves to the first position, it faces the discharge port, and the distance between the pushing rod and the discharge port is less than the height of the isolation strip. When the pushing rod moves to the second position, it avoids the discharge port, the receiving rod faces the discharge port, and the distance between the receiving rod and the discharge port is greater than or equal to the height of the isolation strip.

[0008] In some designs, the isolation strip placement device also includes a stop block, which is movably mounted on the first mounting bracket. The stop block can move relative to the first mounting bracket in a third position and a fourth position. When the stop block is in the third position, the distance between the stop block and the receiving rod is less than the height of the isolation strip. When the stop block is in the fourth position, the distance between the stop block and the receiving rod is greater than or equal to the height of the isolation strip.

[0009] In some designs, the anti-reverse block has a first guide portion located on the side adjacent to the discharge port. As the push rod moves from the second position to the first position, the push rod can push the isolation strip against the first guide portion and drive the anti-reverse block to move away from the receiving rod.

[0010] In some designs, the anti-reverse block is rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket, and the anti-reverse block can move to a third position under its own weight.

[0011] In some designs, when the anti-reverse block moves to the third position, the anti-reverse block engages with the first mounting bracket to stop and limit movement.

[0012] In some designs, an elastic element is provided between the anti-reverse block and the first mounting bracket, which can push the anti-reverse block to a third position.

[0013] In some designs, the isolation strip placement device also includes a second sensor, which is mounted on the first mounting bracket. When the push rod drives the isolation strip to abut against the stop part, the second sensor is opposite to the isolation strip.

[0014] In some designs, the anti-reverse block includes a first stop portion and a second stop portion. The first stop portion is located on the side away from the discharge port and is used to stop the isolation strip on the side adjacent to the discharge port. The second stop portion is used to stop the isolation strip on the top and / or the upper edge of the isolation strip on the side away from the discharge port.

[0015] In some designs, a third sensor is installed at the bottom of the hopper to detect whether there is a separation strip at the bottom of the hopper. Specifically, if there is a separation strip inside the hopper, the third sensor is positioned opposite the separation strip at the bottom of the hopper.

[0016] In some designs, the receiving rod is positioned on the push rod, and the side of the push rod adjacent to the discharge port protrudes at least partially from the receiving rod.

[0017] In some designs, the pushing mechanism also includes a first driving member, which is connected to the first mounting bracket and the pushing rod respectively, and the first driving member can drive the pushing rod to move between a first position and a second position.

[0018] In some designs, the hopper has a receiving cavity whose width is greater than or equal to the width of the isolation strip, and whose width is less than twice the width of the isolation strip.

[0019] In some designs, the hopper is equipped with a second guide section located at the discharge port. Along the direction of discharge from the hopper along the isolation strip, the width of the second guide section gradually decreases, and the width of the second guide section is greater than or equal to the width of the isolation strip.

[0020] In some designs, the hopper is set vertically, and the isolation strip can move along the hopper under the action of gravity and be discharged from the outlet.

[0021] In some designs, the isolation strip placement device also includes a second mounting frame and a second drive unit. The hopper is movably mounted on the second mounting frame, and the second drive unit is connected to both the hopper and the second mounting frame. The second drive unit can drive the hopper to rise or fall.

[0022] In some designs, both ends of the second mounting frame are equipped with hoppers and pushing mechanisms.

[0023] In some solutions, the isolation strip placement device also includes a first sensor and a controller. The first sensor is mounted on a first mounting bracket and is used to detect the distance between the isolation strip placement device and the top plate. The controller is connected to the first sensor and a second drive unit, and the controller controls the second drive unit to drive the hopper to lower based on the distance between the isolation strip placement device and the top plate.

[0024] In some designs, the isolation strip placement device also includes a labeling machine, which is mounted on the first mounting frame and is used to affix material labels to the substrate.

[0025] In some solutions, the labeling machine includes a label printer, a labeling head, and a third drive unit. The label printer includes a label outlet, which is used to print labels and discharge them from the label outlet. The labeling head is located adjacent to the label outlet and has a suction port. The labeling head can use negative pressure to absorb the labels discharged from the label outlet. The third drive unit is connected to the labeling head and is used to drive the labeling head to move towards or away from the board.

[0026] The technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0027] The separator strip placement device provided in this application can be used for automatic placement of separator strips. Specifically, during the board stacking process, after the boards at the same workstation are stacked, a separator strip is placed on the top board of the stacked boards at the same workstation using the separator strip placement device. Then, the board required for another workstation is placed on the separator strip. In this way, the boards required for different workstations can be separated by separator strips. During the unloading process, the board material at the same workstation can be unloaded directly at once, thereby improving unloading efficiency. In addition, placing the separator strip using the separator strip placement device helps reduce manual labor and also avoids the risk of being scratched by the boards when manually placing the separator strip, thus improving the safety of production operations.

[0028] This application also provides a sheet metal stacking device. This sheet metal stacking device includes the separator strip placement device provided in this application and has the same or similar beneficial effects as the separator strip placement device.

[0029] In some designs, the sheet metal stacking device also includes a third mounting bracket and a fourth drive unit. A spacer strip placement device is movably mounted on the third mounting bracket. The fourth drive unit is mounted on the spacer strip placement device. The fourth drive unit is connected to the third mounting bracket and can drive the spacer strip placement device along the third mounting bracket toward or away from the top of the stacked sheets.

Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0051] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0052] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 18 The isolation strip placement device and the plate stacking device provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a sheet metal stacking device. Specifically, the sheet metal stacking device is used to stack sheet metal 30 on a pallet 40. Exemplarily, sheet metal 30 may be one or more of aluminum sheet, steel sheet, and / or plastic sheet.

[0054] The sheet metal stacking device includes a separator strip placement device. Specifically, the sheet metal stacking device stacks sheets 30 of corresponding quantity and / or material onto a pallet 40 according to order requirements. For example, during processing, different workstations require different quantities and / or types of sheets 30, thus requiring the supply of corresponding quantities or types of sheets 30 to different workstations. During the stacking process, sheets 30 required by the same workstation can be stacked together according to the needs of each workstation, and then sheets 30 required by different workstations are separated by separator strips 10. Specifically, after the sheets 30 required by a certain workstation are stacked, separator strips 10 are placed on the top sheet 30 required by that workstation using the separator strip placement device, and then sheets 30 required by another workstation are stacked on the separator strips 10. This embodiment can separate the sheets 30 required by different workstations by the separator strips 10, allowing the sheets 30 of the corresponding workstation to be directly unloaded during unloading, eliminating the need for individual handling and thus improving sorting and unloading efficiency.

[0055] This application provides a spacer strip placement device. This spacer strip placement device can be used in the board stacking device provided in this application. Specifically, the spacer strip placement device is used to place spacer strips 10 that space adjacent layers of boards 30 during the stacking process of boards 30.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device includes a hopper 100 and a pushing mechanism 200, wherein the hopper 100 is used to store the isolation strips 10. For example, the bottom of the hopper 100 is provided with a discharge port 101, from which the isolation strips 10 can be discharged.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the isolation strips 10 are stacked one by one inside the hopper 100. Optionally, the discharge port 101 is vertically downward so that the isolation strips 10 can be discharged one by one from the discharge port 101 under the action of gravity.

[0058] In some embodiments, the hopper 100 has a receiving cavity 102. The width of the receiving cavity 102 is greater than or equal to the width of the partition strip 10, and the width of the receiving cavity 102 is less than twice the width of the partition strip 10.

[0059] In some embodiments, a drive mechanism may be provided inside the hopper 100. For example, the drive mechanism can drive the isolation bars 10 to discharge one by one from the outlet 101. For example, the drive mechanism may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0060] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a first mounting frame 210, a receiving rod 220, and a feeding rod 230. The first mounting frame 210 is disposed on the hopper 100. The feeding rod 230 is movably disposed on the first mounting frame 210, and the feeding rod 230 can move relative to the first mounting frame 210 between a first position and a second position.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 When the push rod 230 moves to the first position, the push rod 230 is opposite to the discharge port 101, and the distance between the push rod 230 and the discharge port 101 is less than the height of the isolation strip 10. For example, the surface of the push rod 230 on the Y-axis side is parallel to the plane containing the discharge port 101. The distance between the push rod 230 and the discharge port 101 is the distance between the surface of the push rod 230 on the Y-axis side and the plane containing the discharge port 101. The height of the isolation strip 10 is the height of the isolation strip 10 in the Y-axis direction when it moves to the discharge port 101.

[0062] Reference Figure 7 When the push rod 230 moves to the second position, it avoids the discharge port 101, and the receiving rod 220 is opposite to the discharge port 101. The distance between the receiving rod 220 and the discharge port 101 is greater than or equal to the height of the isolation strip 10. For example, the surface of the receiving rod 220 on the Y-axis side is parallel to the plane containing the discharge port 101. The distance between the receiving rod 220 and the discharge port 101 is the distance between the surface of the receiving rod 220 on the Y-axis side and the plane containing the discharge port 101.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the push rod 230 moves to the second position, the distance between the receiving rod 220 and the discharge port 101 is less than twice the height of the isolation strip 10. For example, the distance between the receiving rod 220 and the discharge port 101 is approximately 1.5 times the height of the isolation strip 10.

[0064] For example, the push rod 230 can slide with the first mounting bracket 210. Optionally, the push rod 230 can slide horizontally relative to the first mounting bracket 210. For example, the push rod 230 can slide along the first mounting bracket 210. Figure 5 Slide in the direction indicated by the X-axis.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 The receiving rod 220 is located at the end of the push rod 230, and the receiving rod 220 extends in the same direction.

[0066] Figure 6The diagram illustrates the movement of the pusher rod 230 to the first position, with the isolation strip 10 discharged from the outlet 101 of the hopper 100 and supported by the pusher rod 230. Specifically, during the placement of the isolation strip 10, the pusher rod 230 first moves to the first position, then opens the outlet 101 of the hopper 100, allowing the isolation strip 10 to be discharged from the hopper 100 and supported by the pusher rod 230. Since the distance between the pusher rod 230 and the outlet 101 is less than the height of the isolation strip 10, in this state, a portion of the isolation strip 10 remains within the hopper 100. This prevents the isolation strip 10 from bouncing during its descent onto the pusher rod 230, ensuring a smooth and stable fall.

[0067] Figure 7 This illustrates the state where the push rod 230 moves to the second position, and the isolation strip 10 further descends and is supported by the receiving rod 220. Specifically, after the isolation strip 10 is discharged from the discharge port 101 of the hopper 100 and supported by the push rod 230, the push rod 230 moves along... Figure 6 Move in the direction shown by the X-axis. The pusher rod 230 moves to the position indicated by... Figure 7 In the position shown, the isolation strip 10 is fed to the receiving rod 220. Since the isolation strip 10 first falls to the push rod 230 and then to the receiving rod 220, the single descent height of the isolation strip 10 can be reduced, which helps to reduce the jumping during the discharge process of the isolation strip 10. Therefore, the reliability and stability of the discharge of the isolation strip 10 can be improved.

[0068] Figure 8 The illustration shows the state after the pusher rod 230 pushes the separator strip 10 on the receiving rod 220 to move a certain distance in the opposite direction shown by the X-axis. Specifically, the distance between the receiving rod 220 and the discharge port 101 is greater than or equal to the height of the separator strip 10. Therefore, the pusher rod 230 protrudes from the surface of the receiving rod 220 that supports the separator strip 10. Specifically, the portion of the pusher rod 230 protruding from the receiving rod 220 can abut against the separator strip 10. For example, during the movement of the pusher rod 230 in the opposite direction shown by the X-axis, the separator strip 10 can be pushed away from the discharge port 101.

[0069] In some alternative embodiments, the height of the portion of the push rod 230 protruding from the receiving rod 220 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the height of the separator strip 10. In alternative embodiments, the height of the portion of the push rod 230 protruding from the receiving rod 220 is less than or equal to the height of the separator strip 10.

[0070] The above embodiments enable automatic destacking of the isolation strips 10 and ensure that only one isolation strip 10 is placed at a time, which improves the reliability of the isolation strip 10 placement device and increases the placement efficiency of the isolation strips 10. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual operation during the placement of the isolation strips 10, thus facilitating the mechanization of the isolation strip 10 placement operation.

[0071] In some embodiments, the push rod 230 can be stopped by emergency stop and / or the push rod 230 can be quickly retracted, so that the isolation strip 10 moves relative to the receiving rod 220 under the action of inertia and slides onto the top layer plate 30.

[0072] In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device further includes a stop block 300. The stop block 300 is movably disposed on the first mounting bracket 210. The stop block 300 is movable relative to the first mounting bracket 210 in a third position and a fourth position. When the stop block 300 is in the third position, the distance between the stop block 300 and the receiving rod 220 is less than the height of the isolation strip 10. When the stop block 300 is in the fourth position, the distance between the stop block 300 and the receiving rod 220 is greater than or equal to the height of the isolation strip 10.

[0073] Specifically, during the process of the pusher rod 230 pushing the isolation strip 10 to move away from the discharge port 101, the stop block 300 can move to the fourth position, so that the pusher rod 230 can push the isolation strip 10 past the pusher rod 230 and move to the side of the pusher rod 230 away from the discharge port 101. (Refer to...) Figure 10 and Figure 11 During the process of the push rod 230 driving the receiving rod 220 to move closer to the discharge port 101, the stop block 300 can move to the third position, and the isolation strip 10 can abut against the side of the stop block 300 away from the discharge port 101 to prevent the isolation strip 10 from moving closer to the discharge port 101, so as to realize that the isolation strip 10 slides off the receiving rod 220.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the isolation strip 10 slides off the receiving rod 220 after being stopped by the anti-reverse block 300, which can reduce the speed of the isolation strip 10 in the X-axis direction to zero before the isolation strip 10 slides off, thereby improving the accuracy of the isolation strip 10 in preventing its position.

[0075] For example, the anti-reverse block 300 can move between a third position and a fourth position under its own weight, elastic force, and / or the action of a driving component. Specifically, the driving component can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder or a motor.

[0076] In some embodiments, the anti-reverse block 300 may be slidably engaged with or rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 210.

[0077] In some embodiments, the anti-reverse block 300 has a first guide portion 310. The first guide portion 310 is located on one side adjacent to the discharge port 101. During the movement of the push rod 230 from the second position to the first position, the push rod 230 can push the isolation strip 10 to abut against the first guide portion 310 and drive the anti-reverse block 300 to move away from the receiving rod 220.

[0078] For example, the first guide portion 310 has an inclined guide surface. For example, the direction of movement along the push rod 230 from the second position to the first position is the first direction, and the clamp between the first direction and the guide surface of the first guide portion 310 is an acute angle.

[0079] In some embodiments, the anti-reverse block 300 is rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 210, and the anti-reverse block 300 can move to a third position under its own gravity.

[0080] Reference Figure 8 or Figure 9 In some embodiments, when the stop block 300 moves to the third position, the stop block 300 engages with the first mounting bracket 210 to abut and limit its movement. For example, the first mounting bracket 210 has a limiting portion, allowing the stop block 300 to move to the third position. When the stop block 300 moves to the third position, it abuts against the limiting portion of the first mounting bracket 210 to restrict its movement away from the fourth position.

[0081] In some embodiments, an elastic element is provided between the anti-reverse block 300 and the first mounting bracket 210. The elastic element is not shown in the figures. Exemplarily, the elastic element can push the anti-reverse block 300 to a third position. In some embodiments, the elastic element can be, but is not limited to, a torsion spring.

[0082] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 as well as Figures 7 to 9 The pushing mechanism 200 also includes a second sensor 250. For example, the second sensor 250 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 210, and is positioned opposite the isolation strip 10 when the pushing rod 230 causes the isolation strip 10 to abut against the isolation strip 10. Optionally, the second sensor 250 can be an infrared sensor to detect whether the isolation strip 10 has passed the stop block 300.

[0083] In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device includes two second sensors 250. For example, one sensor is disposed on the first mounting bracket 210 to detect whether the isolation strip 10 has passed the stop block 300, and the other is disposed at the bottom of the hopper 100 to detect whether the hopper 10 contains an isolation strip 10. For example, the second sensor 250 disposed at the bottom of the hopper 100 is opposite to one isolation strip 10 at the bottom of the hopper 100.

[0084] Reference Figure 12 In some embodiments, the anti-reverse block 300 includes a first anti-abutment portion 320 and a second anti-abutment portion 330. The first anti-abutment portion 320 is located on the side away from the discharge port 101 and is used to abut against the side of the isolation strip 10 adjacent to the discharge port 101. The second anti-abutment portion 330 is used to abut against the top of the isolation strip 10 and / or the upper edge of the isolation strip 10 on the side away from the discharge port 101.

[0085] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 As the pusher rod 230 drives the receiving rod 220 to move in the X-axis direction, the width of the isolation strip 10 supported on the receiving rod 220 gradually decreases. When the width of the isolation strip 10 supported on the receiving rod 220 is less than or equal to 0.5 times the width of the isolation strip 10, the isolation strip 10 has a rotational torque with the distal edge of the receiving rod 220 as the support point. Since the second stop portion 330 is used to stop the top of the isolation strip 10 and / or the upper edge of the isolation strip 10 on the side away from the discharge port 101, this rotational torque can be overcome, which helps to reduce the tendency of the isolation strip 10 to rotate during the process of sliding off the receiving rod 220, thereby improving the reliability of the isolation strip 10 prevention process, and also helps to improve the accuracy of the placement position and posture.

[0086] Reference Figure 12 The anti-reverse block 300 includes a first sub-block 340 and a second sub-block 350. Exemplarily, the first sub-block 340 and the second sub-block 350 are movably connected to the first mounting bracket 210, and the second sub-block 350 is rotatably connected to the first sub-block 340. A first stop portion 320 is located at the end of the first sub-block 340. The second sub-block 350 is located above the first stop portion 320, and the second sub-block 350 at least partially protrudes from the side of the first stop portion 320 away from the discharge port 101, so that the second sub-block 350 can at least partially abut against the top of the isolation strip 10 and / or the upper edge of the isolation strip 10 on the side away from the discharge port 101. Exemplarily, a second stop portion 330 is located on the lower surface of the second sub-block 350.

[0087] Reference Figure 12The second sub-block 350 can move towards the isolation strip 10 under the action of gravity, so that the second sub-block 350 can abut against the top of the isolation strip 10 and / or the upper edge of the isolation strip 10 away from the discharge port 101.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the second sub-block 350 is rotatably connected to the first sub-block 340, so that the second sub-block 350 can adapt to the isolation strip 10 of different sizes.

[0089] Reference Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the second sub-block 350 cooperates with the first sub-block 340, and at least one of the second sub-block 350 and the first sub-block 340 is provided with a limiting portion, and the second sub-block 350 and the first sub-block 340 can be unidirectionally limited by the limiting portion. For example, refer to... Figure 15 and Figure 18 The first sub-block 340 has a mounting groove, and the second sub-block 350 is disposed within the mounting groove, with one end of the second sub-block 350 adjacent to the discharge port 101 rotatably engaged with the first sub-block 340. (Refer to...) Figure 15 The second sub-block 350 can rotate counterclockwise relative to the first sub-block 340 under the action of gravity. Specifically, the second sub-block 350 can rotate counterclockwise under the action of gravity until the second sub-block 350 abuts against the limiting part located on the first sub-block 340, that is, the second sub-block 350 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove of the first sub-block 340, so as to restrict the counterclockwise rotation of the second sub-block 350 relative to the first sub-block 340.

[0090] Reference Figure 15 In some embodiments, when the second sub-block 350 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove of the first sub-block 340, the second sub-block 350 extends obliquely upward relative to the first sub-block 340 along a first direction. The first direction is... Figure 15 The direction indicated by the X-axis. The second sub-block 350 extends upwards relative to the first sub-block 340, which is the direction of the second sub-block 350 relative to the first sub-block 340. Figure 15 The strip extends obliquely in the direction indicated by the y-axis. This embodiment is beneficial for adapting the spacer strip placement device to spacer strips 10 of different sizes.

[0091] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the second stop portion 330 is provided with a groove 331. Exemplarily, the grooves 331 are distributed sequentially at intervals along the second stop portion 330. Specifically, when the second stop portion 330 abuts against the isolation strip 10, the upper edge of the isolation strip 10 on the side away from the discharge port 101 is at least partially engaged in the groove 331, so that the second stop portion 330 can better prevent the isolation strip 10 from rotating, thereby improving the accuracy of the placement position and posture.

[0092] In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 200 further includes a first driving member 240. The first driving member 240 is connected to the first mounting bracket 210 and the pushing rod 230, respectively, and the first driving member 240 can drive the pushing rod 230 to move between a first position and a second position. Exemplarily, the first driving member 240 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0093] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The hopper 100 is provided with a second guide section 110. The second guide section 110 is located at the discharge port 101. Along the direction of discharge from the hopper 100 along the isolation strip 10, the width of the second guide section 110 gradually decreases, and the width of the second guide section 110 is greater than or equal to the width of the isolation strip 10.

[0094] In the above embodiments, the second guide 110 can guide and adjust the position of the isolation strip 10, which helps to improve the accuracy of the position of the isolation strip 10 discharged from the discharge port 101. For example, the isolation strip 10 can be, but is not limited to, a square wooden strip.

[0095] In some embodiments, the hopper 100 is arranged vertically, and the isolation strip 10 can move along the hopper 100 under the action of gravity and be discharged from the outlet 101.

[0096] In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device further includes a second mounting bracket 400 and a second drive member 500. The hopper 100 is movably disposed on the second mounting bracket 400. The second drive member 500 is connected to both the hopper 100 and the second mounting bracket 400, and the second drive member 500 can drive the hopper 100 to rise or fall.

[0097] Specifically, as the stacking height of the plates 30 increases, the second drive unit 500 can drive the hopper 100 and the pusher mechanism 200 set in the hopper 100 to adapt to the height of the stacked plates 30.

[0098] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device further includes a first sensor 600 and a controller. The first sensor 600 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 210. The first sensor 600 is used to detect the distance between the isolation strip placement device and the top layer plate 30. The controller is connected to both the first sensor 600 and the second drive unit 500, and the controller controls the second drive unit 500 to drive the hopper 100 to lower or stop based on the distance between the isolation strip placement device and the top layer plate 30. Exemplarily, the first sensor 600 is a distance detection sensor. Alternatively, the first sensor 600 can be an infrared distance detection sensor.

[0099] For example, when the distance between the isolation strip placement device and the top layer plate 30 is less than or equal to a first preset value, the controller controls the second drive unit 500 to stop driving the hopper 100 and the pushing mechanism 200 to descend. For example, the second drive unit 500 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0100] In some embodiments, both ends of the second mounting bracket 400 are provided with a hopper 100 and a pushing mechanism 200. Specifically, the spacing between the two hoppers 100 and the two pushing mechanisms 200 can be set as needed so that the spacing between the isolation strips 10 placed by the isolation strip placement device each time can be kept within a reasonable range. Specifically, the larger the spacing between the two pushing mechanisms 200, the larger the spacing between the two isolation strips 10 placed each time.

[0101] In some embodiments, the isolation strip placement device further includes a labeling machine 700, which is disposed on the first mounting frame 210 and is used to affix material labels 20 to the plate 30. Specifically, material information can be recorded through the labels 20 to facilitate subsequent sorting.

[0102] In some embodiments, the labeling machine 700 includes a label printer 710, a labeling head 720, and a third drive unit 730. The label printer 710 includes a label outlet 711, which prints labels 20 and discharges the labels 20 from the label outlet 711. The labeling head 720 is located adjacent to the label outlet 711, has a suction port, and can use negative pressure to absorb the labels 20 discharged from the label outlet 711. The third drive unit 730 is connected to the labeling head 720 and is used to drive the labeling head 720 to move towards or away from the substrate 30.

[0103] For example, the label printer 710 can be a label printer of the prior art. Preferably, the label printer 710 can be a label printer of the prior art with a label-removing function, so that the label printer can separate the label 20 from the release film while printing the label. It should be noted that the label 20 is a label with an adhesive surface. After printing, the label printer 710 can separate the adhesive surface of the label 20 from the release film in preparation for affixing the label 20 to the board 30.

[0104] For example, the labeling head 720 is a suction cup. (See reference...) Figure 3 After label 20 is discharged from label outlet 711, labeling head 720 can adsorb and fix label 20 on the side of labeling head 720 adjacent to plate 30. Then, third drive member 730 drives labeling head 720 to move closer to plate 30 and adhere label to plate 30. Exemplarily, third drive member 730 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0105] In some embodiments, this application also provides a sheet metal stacking device. This sheet metal stacking device includes the separator strip placement device, the third mounting bracket 800, and the fourth drive member 900 provided in embodiments of this application.

[0106] For example, a separator strip placement device is movably disposed on a third mounting bracket 800, and a fourth drive member 900 is disposed on the separator strip placement device. The fourth drive member 900 is connected to the third mounting bracket 800, and the fourth drive member 900 can drive the separator strip placement device along the third mounting bracket 800 toward or away from the stacked plates 30.

[0107] In some embodiments, a rack is provided on the third mounting bracket 800. The fourth drive member 900 is a motor, and the fourth drive member 900 is driven by gear meshing with the rack.

[0108] Specifically, during the placement of the isolation strip 10, the fourth drive unit 900 drives the isolation strip placement device to move above the stack of plates 30, and then the second drive unit 500 drives the hopper 100 and the pushing mechanism 200 set in the hopper 100 to adapt to the height of the stacked plates 30. Finally, the pushing mechanism 200 places the isolation strip 10 on the top plate 30.
