[0063] More preferably, the positioning groove 210 includes a first positioning side wall 240 and a second positioning side wall 250, wherein the first positioning side wall 240 and the second positioning side wall 250 are two adjacent side walls of the positioning groove 210; accordingly, the first hole structure 220 is arranged near the side wall opposite to the first positioning side wall 240 of the positioning groove 210, and the second hole structure 230 is arranged near the side wall opposite to the second positioning side wall 250 of the positioning groove 210.

[0064] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a first sliding plate 410 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a first drive assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first driving assembly 400 is disposed on the base plate 100, and is used to drive the first positioning column 500 to move along the first direction; accordingly, the first positioning column 500 can push the sheet material to approach the first positioning side wall 240, and make the sheet material positioned by the first positioning side wall 240; in other words, in the first direction, positioning can be achieved by the first positioning column 500 and the first positioning side wall 240.

[0066] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, a supporting device 101 is provided on the base plate 100, and a first slide rail 102 is provided on the supporting device 101. The first slide rail 102 is arranged along a first direction, and through the arrangement of the supporting device 101, the first slide rail 102 has a preset height, for example, the first slide rail 102 can be higher than the second sliding plate 610.

[0067] The first driving assembly 400 includes a first sliding plate 410, which is slidably disposed on the first sliding rail 102, and the first sliding plate 410 can be driven to slide along a first direction; specifically, the first driving assembly 400 can also include a first driving device 420, which can drive the first sliding plate 410 to slide along the first sliding rail 102.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first drive device 420 may be a linear drive structure such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. In a preferred embodiment, the first drive device 420 may include a motor, a driving pulley is provided on the motor, a driven pulley is provided on the bottom plate 100, the driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected by a synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt is fixed to the first sliding plate 410, so that when the motor rotates, the first sliding plate 410 is driven to slide along the first slide rail 102 through the synchronous belt.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the motor may be a stepper motor. Of course, the motor may also be a servo motor or other motors.

[0070] The lower end of the first positioning post 500 is disposed on the first sliding plate 410, so that when the first sliding plate 410 moves, the first positioning post 500 can move along the first direction, so as to be close to or away from the sheet material to be positioned, and accordingly, when the first positioning post 500 is close to the sheet material to be positioned, it can push the sheet material to approach the first positioning side wall 240, and the sheet material is positioned by the first positioning side wall 240. In the opposite working process, when the first positioning post 500 is away from the sheet material to be positioned, it can release the sheet material.

[0071] Based on the above structure, in the present disclosure, the first positioning column 500 can be slidably disposed in the first hole structure 220, and the upper end of the first positioning column 500 protrudes from the bottom wall of the positioning groove 210 of the positioning plate 200, thereby, the first positioning column 500 can contact the sheet material and push the sheet material to move.

[0072] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a second drive assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second driving assembly 600 is disposed on the bottom plate 100, and is used to drive the second positioning column 700 to move along the second direction; the second positioning column 700 is used to push the sheet material to approach the second positioning side wall 250, and be positioned by the second positioning side wall 250. In other words, in the second direction, the second positioning column 700 and the second positioning side wall 250 can be used together to achieve positioning.

[0074] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, a second slide rail 103 is arranged on the base plate 100, and the second slide rail 103 is arranged along the second direction; the second driving assembly 600 includes a second sliding plate 610, and the second sliding plate 610 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 103, and the second sliding plate 610 can be driven to slide along the second direction; specifically, the second driving assembly 600 can also include a second driving device 620, and the second driving device 620 can drive the second sliding plate 610 to slide along the second slide rail 103.

[0075] In some embodiments, the second drive device 620 may be a linear drive structure such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. In a preferred embodiment, the second drive device 620 may have the same / similar structure as the first drive device 420, which will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

[0076] The lower end of the second positioning post 700 is disposed on the second sliding plate 610; the second positioning post 700 is slidably disposed in the second hole structure 230, and the upper end of the second positioning post 700 protrudes from the bottom wall of the positioning groove 210 of the positioning plate 200. Therefore, when the second sliding plate 610 moves, the second positioning post 700 can move along the second direction, so as to approach or move away from the sheet material to be positioned. Accordingly, when the second positioning post 700 approaches the sheet material to be positioned, it can push the sheet material to approach the second positioning side wall 250, and the sheet material is positioned by the second positioning side wall 250. In the opposite working process, when the second positioning post 700 moves away from the sheet material to be positioned, it can release the sheet material.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, more than two first positioning columns 500 are arranged near each positioning groove 210, and / or, more than two second positioning columns 700 are arranged near each positioning groove 210; in a specific embodiment, the number of the first positioning columns 500 and the number of the second positioning columns 700 corresponding to each positioning groove 210 are both two.

[0078] The first sliding plate 410 is provided with a first avoidance through hole 411, and at least a portion of the second positioning column 700 is located in the first avoidance through hole 411, so that no collision occurs between the first sliding plate 410 and the second positioning column 700. In other words, by providing the first avoidance through hole 411, the movement process of the first sliding plate 410 and the movement process of the second positioning column 700 will not interfere with each other.

[0079] A second avoidance hole 611 is provided on the second sliding plate 610, and at least a portion of the supporting device 101 is located in the second avoidance hole 611, so that the supporting device 101 will not affect the movement of the second sliding plate 610. That is to say, since the supporting device 101 is an element fixed to the base plate 100, it cannot move. Accordingly, the second sliding plate 610 will not collide with the supporting device 101 when moving.

[0080] The upper end of the first positioning column 500 is provided with a first elastic material, and the first elastic material is used to contact the sheet material to be positioned; and / or, the upper end of the second positioning column 700 is provided with a second elastic material, and the second elastic material is used to contact the sheet material to be positioned; in a preferred embodiment, the first spring material and the second elastic material can be rubber, silicone or urethane foam, etc. The hardness of urethane foam is 70° on the Shore Scale, and the surface is smooth. It will not damage the product during the positioning and clamping process and will not drop residue when in contact with the product, thereby ensuring a clean working environment.

[0081] When the positioning device for sheet materials disclosed in the present invention is in use, 10 sheets of non-precisely positioned materials can be sucked up and moved to the positioning device for sheet materials by a robot arm, and the materials can be unloaded; then the first drive component 400 and the second drive component 600 are controlled to move, so that the sheet material is positioned in the first direction and the second direction, and then the first drive component 400 and the second drive component 600 are restored to their initial positions. At this time, the sheet material that has been positioned will be taken away by the robot arm, completing a working cycle.
