[0016] As Figure 1 shown, an automatic sheet feeding robot includes an electric sheet feeding trolley 1 and a ground rail 11 for the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 to move. An upward conveyor 2 is provided at the discharge end of the cold press. Each hot press is arranged in a straight line, and a downward conveyor 3 is respectively provided at the feeding end of each hot press. The ground rail 11 is arranged between the upward conveyor 2 and the downward conveyor 3, and the direction of the ground rail 11 is set towards the arrangement direction of each hot press. A transfer conveyor 12 and a PLC control cabinet 13 are provided on the electric sheet feeding trolley 1. The movement of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 is controlled by the PLC control cabinet 13. The conveying direction of the transfer conveyor 12 is perpendicular to the traveling direction of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, and the conveying directions of the upward conveyor 2, the downward conveyor 3, and the transfer conveyor 12 are the same.
[0017] As Figure 2 shown, in order to prevent problems such as winding and knotting of the power supply cable during the movement of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, a dragging mechanism 14 for dragging the power supply cable of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 is provided above the ground rail 11. Specifically, the dragging mechanism 14 includes a dragging rod 144, a plurality of sliding members 141 for hanging the cable, and a steel wire track 142 for the sliding members 141 to slide. The dragging rod 144 is fixed on the top of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1. A pair of pulleys 145 arranged vertically are rotatably provided at the upper end of the dragging rod 144. The steel wire track 142 passes through between the pair of pulleys 145. A plurality of sliding members 141 are sequentially arranged on the steel wire track 142. One end of the cable is connected to a power supply socket 143, and the other end of the cable passes through the sliding members 141 in sequence, is tied to the dragging rod 144, and is connected to the PLC control cabinet 13. Both ends of the steel wire track 142 are connected to vertical rods fixed to the bottom surface. When the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 moves on the ground rail 11, the dragging rod 144 drags the sliding members 141 to move along the steel wire track 142 along with it, so that the cable 4 moves along with the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, ensuring that the cable will not be wound or knotted, and continuously supplying power to the electric sheet feeding trolley 1.
[0018] An origin induction switch 15 is provided at the initial position of the ground rail 11, a photoelectric proximity switch 16 is provided on the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, and a passive induction member 17 of the photoelectric proximity switch 16 is provided at each preset distance on the ground rail 11. The origin induction switch 15 and the photoelectric proximity switch 16 are connected to the PLC control box. The origin induction switch 15 is used to sense the origin position of the trolley. During use, each time it reaches a preset position, the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 performs a return-to-origin operation, and the origin induction switch 15 ensures the accuracy of the position. The photoelectric proximity switch 16 is used to sense the position signal of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1. When the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 travels on the ground rail 11, when the signal of the photoelectric proximity switch 16 is received by the passive induction member 17, a traveling position is determined.
[0019] During use, the upper conveyor 2 conveys the sheet material coming out of the cold press to the transfer conveyor 12 on the electric sheet feeding trolley 1. Then, the operator inputs a preset position on the PLC control box, and the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 will move along the ground rail 11 and slide along the wire track 142 through the drag rod 144. At the same time, the sliding member 141 is dragged to move along the wire track 142, so that the cable moves along with the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, ensuring that the cable will not be entangled or knotted, etc., and continuously supplying power to the electric sheet feeding trolley 1. During the movement of the electric sheet feeding trolley 1, when the signal of the photoelectric proximity switch 16 is received by the passive induction member 17 at the preset position, the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 stops moving. Then, the transfer conveyor 12 conveys the sheet material to the lower conveyor 3 at the corresponding position, completing one-time sheet material transplantation. After that, the electric sheet feeding trolley 1 returns to the origin displacement, and the origin induction switch 15 is used to determine the origin position to perform the next sheet material transplantation operation. One person can be responsible for the sheet material transplantation in this section, reducing labor and improving production efficiency.
[0020] The above has generally described the present invention in detail, but based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit and idea of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
