[0003] In the existing automated production line, in order to improve the production capacity of the production line, multiple groups of film laminating stations are usually set at the same process station; or multiple film laminating processes are set according to the requirements of the production line processes. In the production line, the loading and unloading of the film material between multiple groups of film laminating stations and / or multiple film laminating processes are usually realized by robots for handling and loading.

[0004] However, in today's film material picking and placing device, the compatibility and flexibility of the material taking structure (such as a suction cup) are poor, resulting in a fixed posture of the film material picking and placing device for picking and placing the film material. There are usually differences in the placement states of the film material between different film laminating processes or between the production line switching to process different models of products. This makes it necessary to replace different material taking structures when the film material picking and placing device switches between different film laminating processes or when the production line switches to process different models of products. The film material picking and placing device has many accessories (that is, it needs to match multiple different posture forms of the material taking structure), the manufacturing cost is high, and replacing the material taking structure is extremely likely to affect the production rhythm and reduce the production efficiency.

[0038] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 4 The material taking structure 1 and the material taking device according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a material taking structure 1, which includes a film taking assembly 12 and a rotary stop assembly, the film taking assembly 12 is provided with an adsorption plane 121 for adsorbing film material 3, and the rotary stop assembly includes a driving part 112 and a hinge shaft 113 connected to each other, the hinge shaft 113 extends along a first direction F1, and the first direction F1 is parallel to the adsorption plane 121. The rotary stop assembly is hinged to the film taking assembly 12 via the hinge shaft 113, and the driving part 112 is in transmission connection with the film taking assembly 12 to drive the adsorption plane 121 to rotate around the hinge shaft 113.

[0040] According to the material picking structure 1 provided in the present application, the rotary stop component is hinged to the film picking component 12 via a hinge shaft 113 parallel to the adsorption plane 121, and is connected to the rotary stop component via a driving unit 112 to realize driving the adsorption plane 121 to rotate around the hinge shaft 113. In this way, the flexibility of the material picking structure 1 can be effectively improved, so that the material picking structure 1 can adjust the inclination angle of the adsorption plane 121 according to the processing requirements of each process / station, thereby improving the posture variability and flexibility of the material picking structure 1 in picking up and placing the film material 3, so that the material picking structure 1 can be compatible with the different loading requirements of each process / station, so that the film material 3 picking and placing device does not need to replace different material picking structures 1 when switching different film pasting processes or when the production line switches to process different models of products, thereby reducing the cost of accessories for the material picking structure 1 and improving production efficiency.

[0041] Preferably, the film removal component 12 may be a negative pressure suction cup or other device for absorbing the film material 3. The film removal component 12 only needs to be a structure capable of realizing the adsorption function, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] It should be noted that the above-mentioned suction plane can be understood as the surface of the film taking component 12 in contact with the film material 3. Figure 2 Taking the film removal assembly 12 shown as an example, the suction plane may be the lower surface of the film removal assembly 12 .

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, F1 shown in the figure may be an example of the first direction F1, F2 shown in the figure may be an example of the second direction F2, and F3 shown in the figure may be an example of the third direction F3, wherein the first direction F1 intersects with the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 intersects with the plane defined by the first direction F1 and the second direction F2. Preferably, any two of the first direction F1, the second direction F2 and the third direction F3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0044] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned hovering assembly may include a placement part 111, a driving part 112 and a hinge shaft 113 are all arranged on the placement part 111, so as to facilitate the assembly of the hovering assembly.

[0045] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned driving part 112 may be a linear driving device. As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the driving part 112 may be arranged on both sides of the hinge shaft 113 in the second direction F2. In this way, the stability of the rotation of the film picking assembly 12 is ensured, and further the stability of picking and placing the film material 3 by the film picking assembly 12 is ensured.

[0046] However, it is not limited to this. The above-mentioned driving part 112 is not limited to the above-mentioned linear driving device. As long as it can drive the film picking assembly 12 to rotate around the hinge shaft 113, the driving part 112 may also be a rotary driving device or other driving structures.

[0047] Optionally, not shown in the figure, the above-mentioned driving part 112 may also be arranged on one side of the hinge shaft 113 in the second direction F2.

[0048] Preferably, the number of the driving parts may be an even number, that is, the number of the above-mentioned driving parts 112 may also be 4, 6... 2n (where n is a positive integer). The even number of driving parts can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hinge shaft in the second direction with the axis of the hinge shaft as the symmetry axis, so as to further ensure the uniform force of the film picking assembly 12, and then improve the stability of the film picking assembly 12 during rotation and ensure the stability of the film picking assembly 12 when picking up the film material 3. As Figures 2 to 4 shows an example where the number of the above-mentioned driving parts 112 is two. The two driving parts 112 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hinge shaft 113 in the second direction F2 with the axis of the hinge shaft 113 as the symmetry axis.

[0049] Optionally, the above-mentioned driving part 112 may be a cylinder, an electric cylinder or other linear driving devices.

[0050] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the hovering assembly may further include a resilient part 114. The two ends of the resilient part 114 are respectively connected to the placement part 111 and the film picking assembly 12. In this way, on the one hand, it can make the film picking assembly 12 always abut against the driving part 112, ensuring that the driving part 112 can always act on the film picking assembly 12; on the other hand, when the driving part 112 pushes the film picking assembly 12 away from the placement part 111, the film picking assembly 12 can be pulled back to the initial state (this initial state can be understood as the state where the suction plane is parallel to the plane determined by the first direction F1 and the second direction F2) under the action of the resilient part 114, so as to facilitate the restoration of the film picking assembly 12.

[0051] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned resilient portion 114 is correspondingly arranged with the above-mentioned driving portion 112, so as to ensure the effectiveness of each driving portion 112 acting on the film taking assembly 12. Taking Figures 2 to 4 the material taking structure 1 with two driving portions 112 shown as an example, the above-mentioned material taking structure 1 may include two groups of resilient portions 114, and the two groups of resilient portions 114 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hinge shaft in the second direction F2, so as to realize the corresponding arrangement of the resilient portion 114 and the driving portion 112.

[0052] Preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the second direction F2, the distance between the connection ends of the two groups of resilient portions 114 and the placement portion 111 is less than the distance between the connection ends of the two groups of resilient portions 114 and the film taking assembly 12, so as to improve the stability of the resilient portion 114 pulling the film taking assembly 12.

[0053] Optionally, the above-mentioned resilient portion 114 may include two elastic pulling members, and the two elastic pulling members may be relatively arranged on both sides of the placement portion 111 in the first direction F1, so as to ensure the pulling stability of the resilient portion 114 on the film taking assembly 12.

[0054] Optionally, the elastic pulling member may be a spring, an elastic band or other elastic materials.

[0055] In the embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned material taking structure 1 may further include a lifting assembly and a fixing component 14. Among them, the fixing component 14 is used to fix the material taking structure 1 to the following transfer device 2, so as to realize the assembly and fixation of the material taking structure 1 and the transfer device. The lifting assembly is slidably connected with at least part of the fixing component 14, and the placement portion 111 is fixed to the lifting assembly. Thus, the lifting assembly can drive both the hovering assembly and the film taking assembly 12 to move along the third direction F3, so as to facilitate the material taking structure to perform the actions of picking up and releasing the film material 3.

[0056] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned fixing component 14 may include a clamping portion and a guiding portion 143 that are fixedly connected to each other. Among them, the guiding portion 143 may extend along the third direction F3, the clamping portion may be arranged at one end of the guiding portion 143 in the third direction F3, and the lifting assembly is slidably connected with the guiding portion 143. Thus, the structure of the material taking structure 1 that is docked with the transfer device 2 is concentrated at one end of the material taking structure 1 in the third direction F3, avoiding interference between the transfer device 2 and the structure of the material taking structure 1 for picking up and placing the film material 3 (i.e., the hovering assembly and the film taking assembly 12).

[0057] Preferably, the clamping part and the guiding part 143 can be integrally connected to ensure the connection strength between the clamping part and the guiding part 143.

[0058] Preferably, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the clamping part may include a clamping body 141 and a locking part 142. A clamping space 1413 extending in the third direction F3 is provided on the clamping body 141 for docking with the transfer device 2. The clamping space 1413 forms an open notch 1414 on one side of the clamping body 141 in the first direction F1 (that is, the first part 1411 and the second part 1412 are integrally connected), so as to facilitate the assembly of the clamping part and the transfer device 2. In the second direction F2, the open notch 1414 divides the clamping body 141 into a first part 1411 and a second part 1412. The locking part 142 can penetrate through the first part 1411 and be bolted to the second part 1412. In this way, when a part of the transfer device 2 extends into the clamping space 1413, the first part 1411 and the second part 1412 can be bolted tightly by the locking part 142 to clamp the transfer device 2 and realize the assembly and fixation of the transfer device 2 and the material taking structure 1.

[0059] Optionally, not shown in the figure, the clamping space forms open notches on both sides of the clamping body in the first direction. In other words, the first part and the second part are separately arranged, and the first part and the second part can be connected and fixed through the locking part.

[0060] Preferably, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the clamping space 1413 penetrates through the clamping body 141 along the third direction F3 to further facilitate the assembly of the clamping body 141 and the transfer device 2.

[0061] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an example in which the clamping space 1413 is cylindrical is shown in the figure. However, it is not limited thereto, and the shape of the clamping space can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the structure of the transfer device 2 connected to the mechanical gripper.

[0062] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the lifting assembly may include a lifting driving member 132 and a lifting body 131. The lifting body 131 is slidably connected to the guiding part 143 through the lifting driving member 132. The placement part 111 is fixedly arranged at one end of the lifting body 131 away from the clamping part. In this way, under the driving action of the lifting driving member 132, the whole composed of the rotation stop assembly and the film taking assembly 12 is driven to move along the third direction F3.

[0063] Optionally, the above-mentioned lifting driving member 132 can also be a linear driving device such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a linear motor.

[0064] Preferably, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the above-mentioned lifting assembly may further include an elastic buffer portion 133, and the elastic buffer portion 133 is disposed between the lifting assembly and the clamping portion to prevent the lifting assembly from colliding with the clamping portion when the lifting assembly slides along the third direction F3.

[0065] As Figure 4 shown, the figure shows an example in which the above-mentioned elastic buffer portion 133 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the lifting body 131. However, it is not limited thereto, and the elastic buffer portion 133 can also be disposed on the lower surface of the clamping portion.

[0066] Optionally, the above-mentioned elastic buffer portion 133 can be an elastic material such as a spring, a sponge, a silica gel pad, or a rubber pad.

[0067] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application further provides a material taking device, including the above-mentioned transfer device 2 and the material taking structure 1 described in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, it has all the beneficial technical effects of the material taking structure 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] Preferably, the above-mentioned transfer device 2 can be a transfer device such as a manipulator, a robotic arm, or a crane.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
