[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 The flat material processing fixture shown includes a bed 1, a transmission line 2 mounted on the bed 1, and a flow conveyor 3 mounted on the transmission line 2. The bed 1 is provided with processing stations C on either side of the transmission line 2. The flow conveyor 3 is loaded with material to be processed and moves along the transmission line 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the transmission line body 2 is a screw transmission structure, including two main line rails 21 arranged on the bed body 1, and a transmission screw 22 arranged between the two main line rails 21. The bottom of the flow conveyor 3 is fixedly connected to the slider of the transmission screw 22. The transmission screw 22 rotates under the drive of the screw motor 23, driving the flow conveyor 3 to move along the extension direction of the main line rail 21.

[0032] The circulation transport vehicle 3 includes a control area B located in the middle and positioning areas A located on both sides of the control area B. The positioning area A is used to locate the processing position of the material to be processed, and the positioning areas A on both sides can respectively accommodate a group of materials; the control area B is used to accommodate the control system, connecting pipelines, etc. of the electrical components to prevent its internal circuits from being damaged.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the bed 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a processing station C along the extension direction of the transmission line 2. A processing station D is located before and after processing station C, respectively, to perform necessary pre-processing and post-processing on the materials before and after processing. The two positioning areas A of the flow conveyor 3 move along the transmission line, processing one set of materials while the other undergoes loading and pre-processing. Cleaned and inspected materials enter processing station C for processing, and the processed materials simultaneously move along the flow conveyor 3 to post-processing station D for unloading. This cycle completes the processing and transfer of both sets of materials.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the material to be processed is a flat plate. A positioning area A is divided along the plane of the material into a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction. The lengthwise direction is the same as the extension direction of the transmission line 2, and the widthwise direction is perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. The positioning area A includes a main support plate 31 for placing the material. Pads 32 are provided at both ends of the main support plate 31 along the widthwise direction to support the two long sides of the material. A hollow opening 33 is provided in the middle of the main support plate 31, forming a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A guide plate 34 is provided at an angle at the bottom of the hollow opening 33. Processing waste from the material is guided outward through the guide plate 34 from the hollow opening 33, protecting power components such as the transmission screw 22 while the material is being processed.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the material is positioned by the cooperation of multiple positioning components, wherein the main support plate 31 is provided with a group of positioning components at both ends of the width direction. Figure 5 The fixed and clamping assemblies 35 shown are capable of positioning the material lengthwise. Each set of fixed and clamping assemblies 35 comprises a fixed end 351 and an elastic end 352, positioned opposite each other along the length of the main support plate 31. Each fixed end 351 and elastic end 352 contain a positioning copper block. The positioning copper block of the elastic end 352, facing the fixed end 351, is elastically connected to a positioning pin 353. When the material is placed on the main support plate 31, the side of the material maintains dynamic contact with the surface of the positioning pin 353, automatically adjusting the material's position along the length.

[0036] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove 354 is provided on the surface opposite to the positioning copper block of the fixed end 351 and the elastic end 352 for assisting in positioning the side position of the material. When the material is stationary, it is located in the U-shaped groove 354 .

[0037] Furthermore, a push-pull cylinder 355 is provided at the bottom of the fixed end 351 along the length direction. After the elastic end 352 is adaptively adjusted, the push-pull cylinder 355 pushes the fixed end 351 toward the elastic end 352, and can continue to apply tight pressure to the material to limit the movement of the material in the length direction.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the material is positioned in the width direction by means of movable clamping assemblies 36. The movable clamping assemblies 36 are divided into two groups, which are relatively arranged at the two ends of the width direction of the main support plate 31. Each group of movable clamping assemblies 36 includes a group of cross beams 361 arranged along the length direction; the bottom of the main support plate 31 is provided with a slide rail 363 extending along the width direction, and the bottom of the two groups of movable clamping assemblies 36 are each slidably connected to the slide rail 363 through a sliding plate 362, and the two groups of cross beams 361 are driven by the driving member to move toward each other.

[0039] In this embodiment, the driving member of the movable pressing assembly 36 is a hydraulic cylinder 364 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the main support plate 31 , and the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 364 is connected to the sliding plate 362 .

[0040] Furthermore, columns 366 are provided at both ends of the sliding plate 362, and lifting cylinders 365 are fixedly provided at both ends of the beam 361. The output end of the lifting cylinder 365 is connected to the columns 366, and the vertical position of the beam 361 is adjusted by the lifting cylinder 365.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the machine also includes a height pressing assembly 37, which includes a pad 371 fixed to the side of the main support plate 31 and a tilting cylinder 372 provided on the side of the pad 371. The two sets of tilting cylinders 372 are arranged opposite each other, and the output ends of the tilting cylinders 372 are connected to pressure rods 373. When the two wide edges of the material are placed on the pad 371, the tilting cylinders 372 at both ends are activated, and the pressure rods 373 press the top positions of the two ends of the material to achieve the positioning of the material.

[0042] The positioning process in this embodiment is as follows: The material is roughly placed on the main support plate 31, and the four edges of the material are initially positioned using the pads 371 and pad 32. The fixed ends 351 and elastic ends 352 cooperate to constrain the position of the material's two wide edges. Driven by hydraulic cylinders 364, the two sets of crossbeams 361 move toward each other, pushing the material's two long edges toward the center and constraining the position of these two long edges. Finally, the tilting cylinder 372 is activated, driving the pressure rod 373 to press the top of the material, and the material is precisely fixed to the main support plate 31.

[0043] It should be noted that the above-mentioned length direction and width direction are only for the convenience of illustrating the structure of this embodiment in conjunction with the drawings, and are not strictly limited to the actual width and length of the material.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a cleaning detection mechanism 4 is respectively provided at the front and rear processing stations D to perform visual inspection and jet cleaning on the material. The cleaning detection mechanism 4 includes a detection bracket 41 and a detection moving mechanism that drives the detection bracket 41 to move. The detection bracket 41 is provided with a visual camera 42 and an air nozzle group consisting of a plurality of cleaning air nozzles 43. The detection moving mechanism includes a screw slide module 1 44 arranged along the length direction of the bed 1. The output end of the screw slide module is connected to the screw slide module 2 45 through a saddle. The detection bracket 41 is connected to the output end of the screw slide module 2 45 and the driving direction of the screw slide module 2 45 extends along the width direction. The detection bracket 41 is driven to move in the horizontal plane through the cooperation of the screw slide module 1 44 and the screw slide module 2 45.
