DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the utility model discloses an automatic loading and unloading device for a soft film frame, comprising:

[0033] Rack 1;

[0034] The frame material placement mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the frame 1 and is used to carry the soft film frame 24;

[0035] The frame transfer mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the frame loading mechanism 2 to perform initial positioning and transfer of the soft film frame 24;

[0036] The frame positioning mechanism 4 is arranged above the frame transplanting mechanism 3 through the frame flipping mechanism 5. The frame positioning mechanism 4 accurately positions the soft film frame 24. The frame flipping mechanism 5 is arranged on one side of the frame positioning mechanism 4, so that the frame positioning mechanism 4 rotates around the frame 1.

[0037] The frame transferring mechanism 3 preliminarily positions the soft film frame 24 on the frame placing mechanism 2 and clamps it to the bottom of the frame positioning mechanism 4. The frame positioning mechanism 4 clamps the soft film frame 24 below and performs precise positioning. Then, the frame flipping mechanism 5 drives the soft film frame 24 and the frame positioning mechanism 4 to flip, thereby changing the angle of the soft film frame 24 so that the soft film in the soft film frame 24 can be processed, reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame loading mechanism 2 includes a frame body 21 and a longitudinal linear module 22. The frame body 21 has several layers of loading frames 23 for placing soft film frames 24. The frame body 21 is connected to the longitudinal linear module 22. The longitudinal linear module 22 moves, driving the frame body 21 to move up and down, moving the soft film frame 24 to a set position, waiting for the next step to process the soft film.

[0039] In order to improve the accuracy of the initial position of the soft film frame 24, a ball plunger 231 is provided on the upper surface of each feeding frame 23 to assist in positioning the soft film frame 24. The ball plunger 231 is provided on the feeding frame 23, connected to one side of the frame body 21, and matches the groove position at the bottom of the soft film frame 24.

[0040] In addition, in order to detect whether there is a soft film frame 24 on each loading frame 23, a sensor 232 is provided at one end of each loading frame 23. If there is no soft film frame 24, the feeding of the loading frame 23 at this layer is skipped, thereby avoiding the idle operation of the device and improving the automation and intelligence of the device.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame transplanting mechanism 3 includes a clamping cylinder 31, a clamping cylinder fixing plate 32, a lifting cylinder 33, a lifting cylinder fixing plate 34 and a horizontal linear module 35. The horizontal linear module 35 is installed on both sides of the frame 1, the lifting cylinder fixing plate 34 is connected to the horizontal linear module 35, the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 33 is arranged on one side of the lifting cylinder fixing plate 34, the clamping cylinder fixing plate 32 is connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 33, the clamping cylinder 31 is arranged on the lower surface of the clamping cylinder fixing plate 32, and the movement direction of the clamping cylinder 31 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the lifting cylinder 33. The horizontal linear module 35 moves, driving the lifting cylinder fixing plate 34 to move horizontally, moving the clamping cylinder 31 to the specified position. The clamping cylinder 31 then operates to clamp the soft film frame 24 and perform initial positioning on the soft film frame 24. The horizontal linear module 35 resets, driving the soft film frame 24 to move. The lifting cylinder 33 then operates to move the clamping cylinder 31 upward, thereby moving the soft film frame 24 upward and docking with the frame positioning mechanism 4. The provision of the frame transplanting mechanism 3 facilitates the transplanting and positioning of the soft film frame 24, reduces the labor intensity of the staff, and improves work efficiency.

[0042] In this embodiment, four clamping cylinders 31 are provided, which improves the stability of clamping.

[0043] To improve the stability of the soft film frame 24 when the lifting cylinder 33 is raised, a guide plate 36 and a guide rail 37 are provided on both sides of the lifting cylinder 33. The guide rail 37 is provided on one side of the lifting cylinder fixing plate 34. The guide plate 36 is connected to the clamping cylinder fixing plate 32 and is slidably connected to one side of the guide rail 37. During the operation of the lifting cylinder 33, the guide plate 36 always moves in the guide rail, which also prevents the soft film frame 24 from deflecting during movement.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning frame 41 and clamping cylinders 42. The positioning frame 41 is a rectangular frame with a hollow center that matches the contour of the soft film frame 24. The clamping cylinders 42 are located at the four corners of the positioning frame 41 to precisely position the soft film frame 24. In this embodiment, the clamping cylinders 42 are rotary cylinders with clamping portions at their movable ends to increase friction with the soft film frame 24. The clamping cylinders 42 operate to clamp the four corners of the soft film frame 24, completing the docking and precise positioning of the soft film frame 24. The lifting cylinders 33 then descend and reset.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame flip mechanism 5 includes a lifting module 51 and a flip support seat 53. The lifting module 51 is connected to one end of the positioning frame 41 via a rotating portion 52. One end of the rotating portion 52 is connected to the lifting module 51, and the other end is connected to the positioning frame 41. The flip support seat 53 is provided on both sides of the positioning frame 41, and one end of the flip support seat 53 is connected to the positioning frame 41, and the other end is connected to the frame 1. The lifting module 51 moves upward, causing the positioning frame 41 to rotate upward around the flip support seat 53, thereby changing the angle of the soft film frame 24.

[0046] The working mode of the utility model is as follows:

[0047] After the work on the soft film is completed, the soft film frame 24 is moved back to the corresponding material loading frame 23 to complete the loading and unloading work of the soft film frame 24, which greatly extends the rest time of the staff.

[0048] For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
