Detailed implementation manners

[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments of the present utility model provide a carrier tape structure for 3D steel sheets, including a carrier tape body 200. A carrier tape groove 210 is formed on the carrier tape body 200, and an air blowing hole 211 is formed at the bottom of the carrier tape groove 210. The carrier tape groove 210 is used for positioning and placing the 3D steel sheet 100, and the air blowing hole 211 is located below the recessed part 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100. This carrier tape structure is provided with a carrier tape groove 210 for positioning and placing the 3D steel sheet 100 on the carrier tape body 200, so that the position of the 3D steel sheet 100 is accurate and it is not easy to be displaced during the adsorption feeding process, which is convenient for the accurate positioning and adsorption of the adsorption fixture 600. This carrier tape structure also has an air blowing hole 211 formed in the carrier tape groove 210. When feeding the 3D steel sheet 100, air can be blown through the air blowing hole 211 towards the lower part of the recessed part 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100, so that the steel sheet 100 is loosened and adheres to the adsorption fixture 600, facilitating the adsorption fixture 600 to accurately adhere to the plane of the recessed part 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100 and firmly adsorb the steel sheet 100 from the recessed part 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100, solving the problems of displacement and easy material throwing during the feeding of the 3D steel sheet 100.

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3, the slot width of the carrier tape slot 210 gradually decreases from the slot opening inward, being an upper-wide and lower-narrow open slot. The bottom width of the carrier tape slot 210 is relatively small to facilitate the accurate positioning of the 3D steel sheet 100 and avoid the situation of the 3D steel sheet 100 being misaligned during the adsorption feeding process. While the slot opening width of the carrier tape slot 210 is relatively large. When blowing air downward from the air blowing hole 211 below the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100, the 3D steel sheet 100 can loosen and adhere toward the adsorption fixture 600, which is convenient for the adsorption and discharging of the steel sheet 100.

[0026] Further, referring to Figure 2 , a protective film 220 is covered at the slot opening of the carrier tape slot 210. Before subsequent feeding, just tear off the protective film 220. The protective film 220 can protect the surface of the 3D steel sheet 100 from being contaminated, thereby further ensuring the firmness of the adsorption feeding and avoiding the problem of material throwing. Further, the protective film 220 is adhered to the end face of the carrier tape body 200 through a structural adhesive such as double-sided tape 230. Further, a plurality of carrier tape slots 210 are distributed along the length direction of the carrier tape body 200, and a plurality of 3D steel sheets 100 can be positioned and placed on one carrier tape body 200, which is convenient for mass production and improves applicability.

[0027] Further, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the embodiment of the present utility model further provides a feeding mechanism for a 3D steel sheet, including the above-mentioned carrier tape structure for the 3D steel sheet, further including a blowing air assembly 700 and an adsorption fixture 600. The blowing air assembly 700 can blow air downward from the air blowing hole 211 below the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100, and the adsorption fixture 600 can adhere to the plane of the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100 and adsorb and take away the 3D steel sheet 100 from the carrier tape slot 210. This feeding mechanism uses the blowing air assembly 700 to blow air downward from the air blowing hole 211 of the above-mentioned carrier tape structure below the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100, so that the steel sheet 100 loosens and adheres toward the adsorption fixture 600, and uses the adsorption fixture 600 to adhere to the plane of the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100 for adsorption, thereby accurately and firmly adsorbing and taking away the 3D steel sheet 100 from the carrier tape slot 210, and solving the problems such as misalignment and easy material throwing during the feeding of the 3D steel sheet 100.

[0028] Furthermore, the loading mechanism further includes a loading rack 300, a carrier tape reel 400, a feeding assembly, a winding reel 500, and a moving manipulator. The carrier tape reel 400 is rotatably connected to the loading rack 300 and is used for winding the carrier tape structure and rotating to release the carrier tape structure. The feeding assembly is used for conveying the carrier tape structure above the air blowing assembly 700. The winding reel 500 is rotatably connected to the loading rack 300 and is used for peeling the protective film 220 from the carrier tape body 200 and recycling it. The adsorption fixture 600 includes a fixture body and a suction nozzle 610 protruding below the fixture body. The suction nozzle 610 is provided with a ventilation hole 611, and the suction nozzle 610 can be attached to the plane of the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100. The top of the adsorption fixture 600 is provided with a mounting portion 620, and the adsorption fixture 600 is mounted on the moving manipulator through the mounting portion 620.

[0029] After the processed carrier tape structure is pasted with the protective film 220, it is wound on the carrier tape reel 400 for feeding. During feeding, one end of the carrier tape structure is connected to the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly can be a structure such as a winding shaft driven by a rotary driving member, which can drive the carrier tape structure to rotate and release from the carrier tape reel 400 to convey the carrier tape structure carrying the 3D steel sheet above the air blowing assembly 700. One end of the protective film 220 on the carrier tape structure is wound on the winding reel 500. When the feeding assembly conveys the carrier tape structure forward, the winding reel 500 rotates to wind the protective film 220 to peel the protective film 220 from the carrier tape body 200 and recycle it. After the carrier tape structure is conveyed above the air blowing assembly 700, the moving manipulator drives the adsorption fixture 600 to move towards the 3D steel sheet 100, so that the suction nozzle 610 extends to the recessed portion 110 of the 3D steel sheet 100 and adheres to the plane of the recessed portion 110. The negative pressure device and the air blowing assembly 700 are turned on. The air blowing assembly 700 blows air towards the lower part of the recessed portion 110 through the air blowing hole 211, so that the 3D steel sheet 100 becomes loose and adheres to the suction nozzle 610. Thus, through the cooperation of the upper and lower sides, the suction nozzle 610 can firmly adsorb the 3D steel sheet 100, and the moving manipulator takes away the 3D steel sheet 100 from the carrier tape groove 210.
