Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of partition manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a partition insertion mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as battery manufacturing, packaging, and electronic component assembly, separators are key components that serve to separate, protect, or support products. Their insertion quality and efficiency directly affect the performance stability and production capacity of end products.

[0003] Existing partition insertion equipment relies on mechanical stops for positioning and independent sensors for processes such as feeding, shaping, and insertion. Each process operates independently and lacks precise signal linkage. The leveling mechanism and the insertion mechanism need to wait for manual confirmation or mechanical positioning to be completed, resulting in a waiting interval of 1-2 seconds. This causes the partition to bend and deform again after leveling and before being picked up, resulting in insufficient insertion qualification rate. Furthermore, some existing partition insertion equipment currently uses a fixed linkage mechanism with synchronous linkage components, swing arms, and cylinder components to adjust the suction cup angle. This can only achieve a fixed angle of swing and cannot adapt to the optimal suction angle requirements of partitions of different specifications. When the partition specifications change, the linkage needs to be replaced manually or the mechanical limit needs to be adjusted. The changeover time is long, and there is a lack of real-time feedback adjustment mechanism. The suction failure rate is high, which cannot meet the needs of flexible production. Most existing equipment is designed as a single-channel system. When processing products of different specifications, it is necessary to stop the machine to change the type or configure multiple machines. Even if there is a dual-channel structure, it is impossible to achieve differentiated angle control of partitions of different specifications. The equipment investment is high, the cost is high, the space occupation is large, and the production planning and scheduling are complicated, which cannot adapt to the trend of diversified and small-batch production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a partition plate mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a partition plate insertion mechanism, comprising a frame and a first feeding conveyor and a second feeding conveyor mounted on the frame. The first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor are used to convey partition plates. Support columns are provided at the bottom of both the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor, and partition plate leveling mechanisms are provided at the top of both. Anti-bending partition plate pushing mechanisms are provided near the outlet ends of both the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor. A double-track partition plate insertion mechanism is provided inside the frame for transferring and inserting the leveled partition plates. The partition leveling mechanism includes a fixed frame, a first cylinder, a second cylinder, a first leveling plate, a mounting frame, a third cylinder, and a second leveling plate. The fixed frame and the mounting frame are both fixedly installed on the top of the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor. The first cylinder is installed on the fixed frame and drives the first leveling plate. The second cylinder is installed on the side of the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor through the fixed plate and drives the first leveling plate. The third cylinder is installed on the top of the mounting frame and drives the second leveling plate to move up and down through the through-hole opened on the top of the mounting frame. The anti-bending partition pushing mechanism includes a side fixing frame, a pushing cylinder and a partition pushing plate. The pushing cylinder is fixed to one side of the side fixing frame and its output end is connected to the partition pushing plate. The dual-channel insert partition mechanism includes a support frame, an X-axis electric slide, a moving stage, a Y-axis electric slide, and a Z-axis electric slide. The support frame is fixed inside the machine frame. The X-axis electric slide is mounted on the support frame and drives the moving stage. The Y-axis electric slide and the Z-axis electric slide are connected in sequence and used to drive the end effector to move.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting frame is further provided with an outlet anti-fall mechanism, which includes multiple outlet anti-fall guide wheels, a rotating plate driven by a telescopic cylinder, and an outlet baffle rod. The multiple outlet anti-fall guide wheels are respectively installed on the side and top of the mounting frame. One end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the bottom of the side fixing frame, and the other end is hinged to the rotating plate. The rotating plate is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor. The outlet baffle rod is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting frame is further provided with a first sensor and a second sensor for detecting the position of the partition. The first sensor is fixed to the side of the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor by a mounting plate. Both sides of the first feeding conveyor and the second feeding conveyor are provided with detection ports for the laser of the first sensor to pass through. The second sensor is symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting frame.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the mobile platform is slidably connected to a fixed slide rail via a slider, and the fixed slide rail is fixedly installed on the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the Z-axis electric slide is connected to a first movable plate, the bottom of the first movable plate is hinged to a drive cylinder, the output end of the drive cylinder is hinged to a second movable plate, the bottom of the second movable plate is hinged to a first rotating rod, the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a connecting plate, and the bottom of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a mounting rod with a suction cup. The controller is also configured to: Receive input partition specifications or identify markings on the partition; Calculate the optimal suction angle of the suction cup based on the specifications of the partition. Control the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder to drive the rotating rod to the optimal suction angle; The vacuum level of the suction cup is monitored in real time during the suction process. When the vacuum level is lower than the threshold, the drive cylinder is finely adjusted to optimize the suction angle.

[0010] Preferably, a second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod, the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the mounting rod, and the suction cups are multiple and evenly arranged on the mounting rod.

[0011] Preferably, both the first sensor and the second sensor are connected to a controller signal. When the first sensor detects that the partition has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the first cylinder and the second cylinder to drive the first leveling plate to level the partition. When the second sensor detects that the partition is in the leveling position, it sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the third cylinder to drive the second leveling plate to perform secondary leveling on the partition.

[0012] Preferably, the controller is further configured to: after the second sensor detects that the partition has completed secondary leveling, control the push cylinder of the anti-bending partition leveling mechanism to actuate, and drive the partition push plate to perform a leveling operation on the partition.

[0013] Preferably, the controller is further configured to: after receiving the partition leveling completion signal sent by the second sensor, control the X-axis electric slide, Y-axis electric slide and Z-axis electric slide of the double-track partition insertion mechanism to move in coordination, drive the suction cup to move to the leveling station to pick up the partition.

[0014] Preferably, the first and second feeding conveyors can operate independently or synchronously.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. Through a closed-loop signal connection between the first and second sensors and the controller, precise and coordinated timing control is achieved for the entire process of partition conveying, double leveling, anti-bending pushing and leveling, and double-track insertion. When the first sensor detects that the partition has reached the predetermined position, the controller responds immediately and drives the first and second cylinders to work together to achieve synchronous initial leveling of the partition's sides and top. When the second sensor detects that the partition is in the leveling position, the controller immediately triggers the third cylinder for secondary leveling. After the secondary leveling is completed, the controller automatically triggers the push cylinder to push the partition laterally at the outlet end and simultaneously starts the double-track insertion mechanism to pick up the partition. This coordinated timing control achieves seamless connection between the leveling, pushing, and insertion processes, eliminates waiting intervals between processes, effectively avoids secondary bending deformation of the partition during transfer, and significantly improves the partition's shape retention capability and the consistency of the insertion operation. 2. The controller automatically calculates the optimal suction angle based on the partition specifications and monitors the vacuum level in real time for feedback fine-tuning, achieving intelligent adaptive adjustment of the suction angle. The controller can receive input partition specifications or identify partition markings, automatically retrieve or calculate the optimal suction angle, and control the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder to rotate the suction cup to the target angle. During suction, the vacuum sensor monitors the vacuum level of each suction cup in real time. When the vacuum level is lower than the set threshold, the controller immediately fine-tunes the drive cylinder to optimize the suction angle within a small range. This intelligent adjustment mechanism enables the equipment to adapt to the suction needs of partitions of various specifications without the need for manual mechanical changes, significantly improving suction reliability and production flexibility. 3. By employing a dual-track feeding conveyor system with independent angle adjustment components and combined with the differentiated control logic of the controller, synchronous insertion of partitions of different specifications can be achieved across two tracks. The first and second feeding conveyors can operate independently to handle partitions of different specifications, or they can operate synchronously to improve conveying efficiency. The controller calculates and controls the different suction angles of the two sets of suction cups, enabling synchronous insertion of two different specifications of partitions without requiring downtime for replacement. This dual-track differentiated collaborative mechanism significantly improves equipment capacity and utilization, reduces equipment footprint and investment costs, and significantly enhances the equipment's adaptability to diverse and personalized production needs.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] As attached Figure 1-9The partition insertion mechanism shown includes a frame 1 and a first feeding conveyor 2 and a second feeding conveyor 3 mounted on the frame 1. The first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 are used to convey partitions 18. The bottom of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 are provided with support columns 4, and the top of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 are provided with partition leveling mechanisms. Anti-bending partition pushing mechanisms are provided near the outlet ends of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3. The frame 1 is equipped with a double-channel partition insertion mechanism for transferring and inserting the leveled partitions 18. The partition leveling mechanism includes a fixed frame 5, a first cylinder 6, a second cylinder 8, a first leveling plate 9, a mounting frame 13, a third cylinder 14, and a second leveling plate 15. The fixed frame 5 and the mounting frame 13 are both fixedly installed on the top of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3. The first cylinder 6 is installed on the fixed frame 5 and drives the first leveling plate 9. The second cylinder 8 is installed on the side of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 through the fixed plate 7 and drives the first leveling plate 9. The third cylinder 14 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 13 and drives the second leveling plate 15 to move up and down through the through-hole 16 opened on the top of the mounting frame 13. The fixed frame 5 and the mounting frame 13 provide stable mounting supports for the first cylinder 6 and the third cylinder 14 respectively, ensuring accurate transmission of driving force; the first cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 8 work together to drive the first leveling plate 9 to achieve initial leveling of the side and top of the partition 18 simultaneously; the third cylinder 14 drives the second leveling plate 15 to rise and fall through the through-hole 16 to complete secondary leveling. The double leveling structure greatly improves the flatness of the partition 18 and meets the high-precision insertion requirements. The anti-bending partition pushing mechanism includes a side fixing frame 20, a pushing cylinder 21 and a partition pushing plate 22. The pushing cylinder 21 is fixed to one side of the side fixing frame 20 and its output end is connected to the partition pushing plate 22. The side fixing frame 20 ensures that the push cylinder 21 is installed firmly. The push cylinder 21 drives the partition push plate 22 to push the outlet end partition 18 laterally, effectively preventing the partition 18 from bending and deforming due to uneven force at the end of the conveying process, and ensuring the smoothness of the subsequent insertion process. The dual-channel insert partition mechanism includes a support frame 28, an X-axis electric slide 29, a moving stage 30, a Y-axis electric slide 31, and a Z-axis electric slide 32. The support frame 28 is fixed inside the frame 1. The X-axis electric slide 29 is mounted on the support frame 28 and drives the moving stage 30. The Y-axis electric slide 31 and the Z-axis electric slide 32 are connected in sequence and used to drive the end effector.

[0028] As attached Figure 2 , 7As shown in Figure 8, the mounting frame 13 is also equipped with an outlet anti-fall mechanism. The outlet anti-fall mechanism includes multiple outlet anti-fall guide wheels 19, a rotating plate 24 driven by a telescopic cylinder 23, and an outlet baffle rod 27. The multiple outlet anti-fall guide wheels 19 are respectively installed on the side and top of the mounting frame 13. One end of the telescopic cylinder 23 is hinged to the bottom of the side fixing frame 20, and the other end is hinged to the rotating plate 24. The rotating plate 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 25. The rotating shaft 25 is rotatably connected to both the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3. The outlet baffle rod 27 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 25. The outlet anti-fall guide wheels 19 restrict the deviation of the partition 18 from the side and top. The telescopic cylinder 23 drives the rotating shaft 25 through the rotating plate 24 to drive the outlet baffle rod 27 to rotate, realizing the automated control of the temporary storage limit and release of the partition 18, effectively preventing the partition 18 from falling prematurely before insertion, and ensuring the continuity and safety of the operation.

[0029] As attached Figure 2 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the mounting frame 13 is also equipped with a first sensor 11 and a second sensor 17 for detecting the position of the partition 18. The first sensor 11 is fixed to the side of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 by the mounting plate 10. Both sides of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 have detection ports 12 for the laser of the first sensor 11 to pass through. The second sensor 17 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting frame 13. Both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 17 are Sick sensors. Sick sensors have the advantages of high detection accuracy and fast response speed. The mounting plate 10 ensures that the first sensor 11 is installed firmly. The detection ports 12 provide an unobstructed path for laser detection. The symmetrical arrangement of the second sensor 17 ensures that there are no blind spots in the detection. The two sensors accurately capture the position signal of the partition 18, providing a reliable basis for the linkage of subsequent leveling, pushing, and insertion actions, and realizing the automated closed-loop control of the operation process.

[0030] As attached Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the bottom of the moving stage 30 is slidably connected to the fixed slide rail 34 via the slider 33. The fixed slide rail 34 is fixedly installed on the support frame 28. The cooperation between the slider 33 and the fixed slide rail 34 reduces the frictional resistance of the moving stage 30 during movement, ensures the smoothness and stability of the X-axis movement, improves the displacement accuracy of the moving stage 30 driving the end effector, and lays the foundation for the precise picking and insertion of the partition 18.

[0031] As attached Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the bottom of the Z-axis electric slide table 32 is connected to a first moving plate 35. A drive cylinder 37 is hinged to the bottom of the first moving plate 35. The output end of the drive cylinder 37 is hinged to a second moving plate 38. A first rotating rod 39 is hinged to the bottom of the second moving plate 38. The first rotating rod 39 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 40. The rotating rod 40 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 36. A mounting rod 42 with a suction cup 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 40. The controller is also configured as follows: Receive input partition specifications or identify markings on the partition; Calculate the optimal suction angle of suction cup 26 based on the specifications of the partition. Control the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder 37 to drive the rotating rod 40 to rotate to the optimal suction angle; The vacuum level of suction cup 26 is monitored in real time during the suction process. When the vacuum level is lower than the threshold, the drive cylinder 37 is finely adjusted to optimize the suction angle. The controller has a built-in database of baffle specifications, storing the optimal suction angle for baffles of different lengths, widths, and thicknesses. When baffle specifications need to be changed, the operator inputs the new specifications through the human-machine interface, or the first sensor identifies the barcode or QR code markings on the baffle edge. The controller automatically retrieves the corresponding optimal suction angle value, or calculates it in real time based on the following mechanical balance formula: in, For the best absorption angle, The length of the partition is... This is the distance from the suction cup's adsorption point to the edge of the partition. The height of the partition's center of gravity. This is the correction angle determined based on the material and surface roughness of the partition.

[0032] The controller is based on the calculations The value controls the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder, causing the rotating rod to drive the mounting rod to rotate to the target angle. During the suction process, the vacuum sensor monitors the vacuum level of each suction cup in real time. When the vacuum level of any suction cup is lower than the preset threshold, such as -0.06MPa, the controller fine-tunes the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder, optimizing the suction angle within ±5°, until the vacuum level returns to normal or the maximum number of adjustments is reached, and then an alarm is triggered.

[0033] As attached Figure 2 , 5As shown in Figure 6, a second rotating rod 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 40. The second rotating rod 41 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 42. There are multiple suction cups 26 evenly distributed on the mounting rod 42. The second rotating rod 41 enhances the connection strength between the rotating rod 40 and the mounting rod 42, ensuring stable power transmission. The multiple evenly distributed suction cups 26 increase the contact adsorption area with the partition 18, making the adsorption force evenly distributed, avoiding deformation or detachment of the partition 18 during adsorption, and further improving the stability of the material picking and insertion process.

[0034] As attached Figure 2 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, both the first sensor 11 and the second sensor 17 are connected to a controller signal. When the first sensor 11 detects that the partition 18 has reached the predetermined position, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the first cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 8 to operate, driving the first leveling plate 9 to level the partition 18. When the second sensor 17 detects that the partition 18 is in the leveling position, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the third cylinder 14 to move and drive the second leveling plate 15 to perform secondary leveling of the partition 18.

[0035] As attached Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the controller is also configured to: after the second sensor 17 detects that the partition 18 has completed the secondary leveling, control the push cylinder 21 of the anti-bending partition leveling mechanism to move, and drive the partition push plate 22 to perform the leveling operation on the partition 18. To achieve seamless connection between the leveling and pushing processes, the cylinder 21 drives the partition push plate 22 to act precisely on the partition 18, effectively eliminating the slight bending that may occur after secondary leveling and ensuring the shape accuracy of the partition 18 before insertion.

[0036] As attached Figure 1-9 As shown, the controller is also configured to: after receiving the partition leveling completion signal sent by the second sensor 17, control the X-axis electric slide 29, Y-axis electric slide 31 and Z-axis electric slide 32 of the double-channel partition insertion mechanism to move in coordination, drive the suction cup 26 to move to the leveling station to pick up the partition 18. The controller realizes the precise linkage between the leveling completion signal and the insertion mechanism action. The X-axis electric slide 29, Y-axis electric slide 31 and Z-axis electric slide 32 work together to drive the suction cup 26 to move quickly and accurately to the material picking position, shorten the process interval time, improve the work efficiency, and at the same time ensure the consistency of the material picking position of the suction cup 26, so as to provide a guarantee for the subsequent insertion accuracy.

[0037] As attached Figure 1As shown, the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 can operate independently or synchronously. The operating modes of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 can be flexibly switched. When operating independently, they can handle partitions 18 of different specifications or batches respectively. When operating synchronously, they can double the conveying efficiency, adapt to diverse production needs, and enhance the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0038] Working principle of the invention: After startup, the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 can operate independently or synchronously according to the operation requirements. Under the stable support of the support column 4, the partition 18 to be processed is conveyed to the outlet end. When the partition 18 is conveyed to the predetermined position, the first sensor 11 installed on the side mounting plate 10 of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 detects the partition 18 through the detection port 12 opened on both sides of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3, and sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the first cylinder 6 on the fixed frame 5 and the cylinder through the fixed plate. 7. The second cylinder 8 installed on the side of the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3 operates synchronously, jointly driving the first leveling plate 9 to perform preliminary leveling of the partition 18 on the side and top. After preliminary leveling, the partition 18 continues to be conveyed to the leveling station. At this time, the second sensor 17 symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting frame 13 detects the partition 18 and feeds back a signal to the controller. The controller starts the third cylinder 14 installed on the top of the mounting frame 13, driving the second leveling plate 15 to move downward through the through hole 16 at the top of the mounting frame 13 to perform secondary leveling of the partition 18, ensuring that the flatness of the partition 18 meets the insertion requirements. After the secondary leveling is completed, the controller triggers the anti-bending partition pushing mechanism. The push cylinder 21, fixed to one side of the side fixing frame 20, drives the partition pushing plate 22 connected to its output end to push the partition 18 near the outlet end laterally, preventing the partition 18 from bending and deforming during subsequent conveying. At the same time, the outlet anti-drop mechanism is activated. Multiple outlet anti-drop guide wheels 19 installed on the side and top of the mounting frame 13 limit the lateral displacement of the partition 18. The telescopic cylinder 23 hinged at the bottom of the side fixing frame 20 drives the rotating plate 24 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 25, which is rotatably connected to the first feeding conveyor 2 and the second feeding conveyor 3, to rotate synchronously. This causes the outlet baffle 27, fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 25, to temporarily limit the partition 18, preventing it from falling prematurely. Subsequently, the controller commands the double-track partition insertion mechanism inside the frame 1 to start, which is installed on the support. The X-axis electric slide 29 on the frame 28 drives the moving stage 30 to move along the fixed slide rail 34 in the X direction. The Y-axis electric slide 31 and the Z-axis electric slide 32 work together in sequence to adjust the Y and Z positions of the end effector. The first moving plate 35 connected to the bottom of the Z-axis electric slide 32 drives the rotating rod 40, which is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 36, through the driving cylinder 37, the second moving plate 38, and the first rotating rod 39. The rotating rod 40 drives the mounting rod 42 to move synchronously through the second rotating rod 41, so that the multiple suction cups 26 evenly arranged on the mounting rod 42 are precisely moved to the leveling position and pick up the partition 18. Finally, the X-axis electric slide 29, the Y-axis electric slide 31, and the Z-axis electric slide 32 work together again to transfer the picked-up partition 18 to the target insertion position, completing the double-track synchronous insertion operation. After that, each mechanism resets and enters the next round of operation cycle.
