In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a lamination separation mechanism, which includes a separation base and a movable separation assembly 201. The movable separation assembly 201 is arranged on the separation base, and adjacent movable separation assemblies 201 form a linkage through contact. Under normal conditions, the movable separation assembly 201 is hidden in the separation base, in a hidden state, and avoids the area where the parts 100 are loaded; when the movable separation assembly 201 adjacent to the bottom is loaded with the parts 100, the movable separation assembly 201 adjacent to the bottom drives the movable separation assembly 201 adjacent to the top to rotate, so that the movable separation assembly 201 adjacent to the top is in a standby state, at which time, the movable separation assembly 201 adjacent to the top initially enters the area where the parts 100 are loaded, in preparation for carrying subsequent parts 100; when the movable separation assembly 201 is loaded with the parts 100, under the action of the gravity of the parts 100, the movable separation assembly 201 continues to rotate from the standby state to the working state, at which time, the movable separation assembly 201 is in the area where the parts 100 are loaded, thereby carrying the parts 100.

[0033] In the process of stacking multiple parts 100, adjacent parts 100 are separated by the movable separation assembly 201 to prevent adjacent parts 100 from contacting each other. On the one hand, it prevents the surface of the parts 100 from being scratched due to contact between the parts 100; on the other hand, it is conducive to the robot arm that transfers the parts 100 to take out a single part 100 at a time, ensuring the subsequent processing of the parts 100.

[0034] In some examples, the separation base is arranged upright, and one or more separation bases may be arranged. When one separation base is arranged, the parts 100 are stacked beside the separation base; when more than one separation base is arranged, the more than one separation bases enclose an area for loading the parts 100, and the parts 100 are stacked between the separation bases. The separation base is fixed to an external base or the ground by fasteners.

[0035] Further, the movable separation assembly 201 is arranged on the separation base, and a plurality of movable separation assemblies 201 are arranged, and the number of movable separation assemblies 201 corresponds to the maximum load capacity of the parts 100 of the lamination separation mechanism, and each part 100 is supported by the movable separation assembly 201. It can be understood that the parts 100 are stacked in the vertical direction, and the stack of parts formed by the stacking has a certain height. In order to adapt to the shape of the parts stack, the movable separation assemblies 201 are arranged up and down along the separation base.

[0036] At the same time, each movable separation component 201 is rotatably connected to the separation base, and adjacent movable separation components 201 contact each other through rotation and form a linkage, thereby switching between the hidden state and the standby state.

[0037] In some examples, the separation base includes a support component 101, the support component 101 is upright, and the movable separation components 201 are rotatably connected to the support component 101. The support component 101 is provided with a mounting gap, each movable separation component 201 is embedded in the mounting gap, and the support component 101 clamps each movable separation component 201.

[0038] Furthermore, the support component 101 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, each of which is arranged up and down along the support component 101 , and each of which is provided with a rotating shaft, each of which passes through each movable separation component 201 to achieve a rotational connection.

[0039] In some examples, the movable separation assembly 201 includes movable separation parts, each of which is rotatably connected to the support part 101. Further, the movable separation part includes a receiving portion 202, and the receiving portion 202 is used to carry the part 100. When the movable separation assembly 201 is in a hidden state, the receiving portion 202 of the movable separation part is hidden in the separation base; when the movable separation assembly 201 is in a standby state, the movable separation assembly rotates to make the receiving portion 202 initially enter the area where the part 100 is loaded; when the movable separation assembly 201 is in a working state, the movable separation assembly continues to rotate to make the receiving portion 202 further enter the area where the part 100 is loaded.

[0040] The adjacent movable separation parts are brought into contact with each other by rotation, so that the movable separation assembly 201 is switched from the initial hidden state to the standby state.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the initial situation where the part 100 is not loaded, the movable separation component is hidden in the separation base under the action of its own gravity and is at the initial angle; when the movable separation component adjacent to the bottom is loaded with the part 100, the movable separation component adjacent to the bottom rotates under the influence of the gravity of the part 100, and during the rotation, the movable separation component adjacent to the bottom and the current movable separation component form a linkage through mutual contact, so that the current movable separation component rotates to the first angle 301 and is in a standby state, and the receiving portion 202 of the movable separation component in the standby state initially enters the area where the part 100 is loaded.

[0042] When the movable separation component is loaded with the part 100, the movable separation component continues to rotate from the first angle 301 to the second angle 302, that is, it switches from the standby state to the working state. It can be understood that at this time, the receiving portion 202 of the movable separation component is also in the area where the part 100 is loaded and is in the rotation limit position. The second angle 302 is greater than the first angle 301.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the movable separation component includes an abutting portion 203 and a triggering portion 204, and the receiving portion 202, the abutting portion 203 and the triggering portion 204 are connected to each other. Specifically, the receiving portion 202, the abutting portion 203 and the triggering portion 204 are integrally formed. The receiving portion 202 extends in a direction close to the part 100, the abutting portion 203 extends in a direction away from the part 100, and the triggering portion 204 extends in a direction close to the movable separation component adjacent to the top.

[0044] Furthermore, as the movable separation components adjacent to the bottom rotate, the triggering portion 204 of the movable separation components adjacent to the bottom will contact the abutting portion 203 of the movable separation components on the top thereof, thereby realizing the rotation linkage of the two.

[0045] Specifically, when adjacent movable separation parts contact each other through the trigger part 204 and the abutment part 203, as the movable separation parts adjacent to the bottom continue to rotate, a certain degree of slip will occur between the abutment part 203 and the trigger part 204 that contact each other. In order to ensure the smoothness of the sliding movement, the trigger part 204 is provided with a sliding plane, and there is an angle between the trigger part 204 and the abutment part 203.

[0046] In some examples, the cross-sectional size of the receiving portion 202 gradually decreases in the direction close to the part 100, thereby forming a tip. When the movable separation component is at an initial angle, the receiving portion 202 of the movable separation component is conveniently hidden in the separation base, avoiding the receiving portion 202 from invading the area where the parts 100 are loaded, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the stacking of the parts 100.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, the initial position and the working state position of the conventional movable separation component are the limit positions. Since there is no adjacent movable separation component at the bottom, the bottom movable separation component cannot automatically switch from the initial position to the standby state position, so the standby state position and the working state position of the bottom movable separation component are the limit positions.

[0048] Further, the separation base is provided with a positioning member 102, which contacts the abutment portion 203 of the bottommost movable separation member, thereby limiting the bottommost movable separation member to a standby state under normal conditions. Specifically, the positioning member 102 adopts a positioning block, which is detachably connected to the separation base through a fastener.

[0049] In some examples, the movable separation component 201 includes a limiting component 205, and the limiting component 205 is used to limit the extreme position of the movable separation component to prevent the movable separation component from rotating overtravel.

[0050] Further, the abutment portion 203 extends out of the installation gap, and the limiting component 205 is connected to the abutment portion 203 and is outside the installation gap. The length of the limiting component 205 is greater than the width of the installation gap. When the movable separation component is in the initial position or the position of the working state, the limiting component 205 is stuck at the edge of the installation gap, thereby preventing the movable separation component from rotating beyond the limit position. Specifically, the limiting component 205 includes a limiting rod.

[0051] In some examples, the abutment portion 203 is provided with a plugging structure, and the limiting component 205 is inserted through the plugging structure, which facilitates the installation of the limiting component 205 on the abutment portion 203 and also facilitates the removal of the limiting component 205. Specifically, the plugging structure includes a plugging hole.

[0052] In some examples, during the use of the lamination separation mechanism, the limiting component 205 can move axially along the plug-in structure, and the limiting component 205 may fall off the abutment portion 203, causing the movable separation component to rotate overtravel. Therefore, the separation base includes a blocking component 103, which is arranged on both sides of the limiting component 205. When the limiting component 205 has a tendency to fall off, the limiting component 205 contacts the blocking component 103, and the blocking component 103 hinders the axial movement of the limiting component 205.

[0053] The blocking component 103 is connected to both sides of the supporting component 101, and the distance between the blocking components 103 is greater than the length of the limiting component 205, so as to ensure that the blocking component 103 has enough space to rotate with the movable separation component. Specifically, the blocking component 103 includes a blocking plate, which is connected to the supporting component 101 by a fastener.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, the stacking separation mechanism includes a guide base, which guides the stacking of the parts 100. The guide base includes a guide rod 401, and the guide rod 401 is inserted into the through hole of the part 100 during the stacking process of the parts 100.

[0055] Specifically, the outer diameter of the guide rod 401 is approximately the same as the aperture of the through hole of the part 100. To facilitate the insertion of the guide rod 401, a contraction portion with a gradually decreasing radial dimension is provided at the top of the guide rod 401. The contraction portion is first inserted into the through hole of the part 100, and the part 100 is further stacked to the target position along the guide rod 401. The guide base is fixed to an external base or the ground by fasteners.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in some examples, the stack separation mechanism includes a protective base 402, which stands upright on the edge of the part 100 to prevent the external structure from hitting the edge of the part 100 and causing damage to the structure of the part 100. It can be understood that the protective base 402 and the separation base together define an area for loading the part 100, and the guide base is located in the area for loading the part 100. Specifically, the protective base 402 is fixed to an external base or the ground by fasteners.

[0057] During use, the bottom movable separation component is in a standby state under the limiting action of the positioning component 102. When the parts 100 are stacked on the bottom movable separation component along the guide base, the bottom movable separation component rotates to the working state to complete the loading of the first part 100.

[0058] When the movable separation component supporting the part 100 rotates to the working state, it drives the movable separation component adjacent to the top to rotate from the hidden state to the standby state, and the receiving portion 202 initially enters the area for loading the part 100. When the part 100 continues to be loaded, the movable separation component in the standby state rotates to the working state, and continues to drive the movable separation component adjacent to the top to rotate, and so on, to complete the stacking of all the parts 100. The movable separation components between adjacent parts 100 separate the parts 100 from each other, making it easier for the robot arm and other structures to grab one part 100 at a time. At the same time, during the stacking process of the parts 100, the protective base 402 continuously protects the edges of the parts 100 to prevent the edges of the parts 100 from being bumped and damaged.

[0059] In the description of this specification, if the reference terms "one embodiment", "some examples", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" appear, it means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0060] The above describes the implementation methods of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
