[0002] In the related technology, quite a number of industrial products need to be mounted with foam to prevent collision damage during transportation. The current method of mounting instant noodles is to peel off the foam on the material strip with a handheld clamp, and then manually apply the foam to the corresponding product. This method is inefficient, and manually grabbing the foam can easily cause the instant noodles to deform, thereby reducing the mounting yield. The second method is to simply apply it with a robot, but this mounting method is not accurate and the product yield is low. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of foam mounting while ensuring a high product yield has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0041] Below, according to Figures 1 to 5 The foam mounting machine according to the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0042] It is understandable that if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a foam placement machine is provided, comprising:

[0045] A flow channel tool 300, which is disposed beside the stripping mechanism 200, and is used to set at least one steel belt 800, on which a semi-finished product is set;

[0046] The positioning mechanism 400 is disposed at the bottom of the flow channel tooling 300. The positioning mechanism 400 is used to temporarily fix the steel belt 800 when the foam is mounted; and is also used to cancel the fixation of the steel belt 800 when the foam is mounted.

[0049] The material pulling mechanism 700 is disposed at one end of the flow channel tooling 300 . The material pulling mechanism 700 is used to pull the steel belt 800 to move after the robot 510 completes the mounting action and the positioning mechanism 400 cancels the fixation.

[0050] On the one hand, by setting the feeding module 100 and the stripping mechanism 200, the foam can be quickly transported and stripped from the material belt. At the same time, the foam is not easily damaged by the stripping mechanism 200, thereby improving the product yield rate.

The positioning cylinder 410 is used to drive the movable component 440 to move in the vertical direction, and drive the positioning pin 420 to insert into the positioning hole 810 of the steel belt 800 to temporarily fix the steel belt 800.

Through the mutual cooperation of the connecting block 441, the movable plate 442, the movable block 443 and the sliding column 444, the positioning pin 420 can be conveniently and quickly slid in the vertical direction. In particular, the sliding column 444 can be slidably penetrated in the flow channel tooling 300, thereby improving the fixing ability.

[0056] It is understandable that if Figure 1 As shown, the driving module includes an X-axis module 520 and a Y-axis module 530, the X-axis module 520 is arranged along the travel direction of the steel belt 800, the Y-axis module 530 is arranged perpendicular to the travel direction of the steel belt 800, and one end of the Y-axis module 530 is connected to the X-axis module 520, the other end of the Y-axis module 530 is arranged across the flow channel tooling 300 and fixedly connected to the side of the stripping mechanism 200, and the manipulator 510 is arranged on the Y-axis module 530.
