Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure shows a stamping device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The stamping device 100 can perform loading, stamping, cutting, and unloading of a full board (not shown). The full board can be a semi-finished FPC with complete circuit configuration and chip placement. After the full board is stamped and cut using different dies, at least one FPC product can be obtained.

[0029] It can be understood that the length direction, width direction and height direction of the stamping device 100 can be defined as the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction and the vertical direction respectively. Figure 1 As shown, the first horizontal direction can be as follows Figure 1 The X direction and its opposite direction shown, the second horizontal direction can be as follows Figure 1 The Y direction and its opposite direction shown, the vertical direction can be as follows Figure 1 The Z direction and its opposite direction.

[0030] In one embodiment, the stamping equipment 100 may include a loading and unloading device 101 and a stamping device 102. The loading and unloading device 101 can receive the whole plate, transfer the whole plate along the second horizontal direction, and move the whole plate to the stamping device 102. The stamping device 102 is provided with a loading and unloading station 1021 and a stamping station 1022, and the loading and unloading device 101 can move the whole plate to the loading and unloading station 1021. The stamping device 102 can move the whole plate from the loading and unloading station 1021 to the stamping station 1022, and then perform stamping and cutting on the whole plate. The stamping device 102 can then move the whole plate after stamping and cutting to the loading and unloading station 1021, and then the loading and unloading device 101 can obtain the whole plate from the loading and unloading station 1021 and move the whole plate to the loading and unloading device 101, and continue to transfer the whole plate to the next processing equipment (not shown) for processing.

[0031] In this way, the loading and unloading device 101 and the punching device 102 can realize automatic loading, punching and unloading of the entire board. Compared with the manual loading and unloading operations of the staff, the efficiency of loading and unloading the entire board can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of FPC product processing.

[0032] Please also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the loading and unloading device 101 may include a loading and unloading platform 10, a loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20, a suction member 30, and a moving mechanism 40. The loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 and the moving mechanism 40 may be fixedly mounted on the loading and unloading platform 10, and the suction member 30 may be fixedly mounted on the moving mechanism 40, with the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 and the moving mechanism 40 spaced apart. The loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 may receive a whole panel and transport it along the second horizontal direction. The moving mechanism 40 may drive the suction member 30 to move and rotate.

[0033] The loading and unloading conveying mechanism 20 can be provided with a plate feeding station 1011 and a plate discharging station 1012. The plate feeding station 1011 and the plate discharging station 1012 are arranged in a second horizontal direction. The moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 to move and rotate, so that the suction member 30 approaches the plate feeding station 1011 and sucks the whole plate that has not been punched and cut by the punching device 102 from the plate feeding station 1011; then the moving mechanism 40 can operate to move the suction member 30 and the whole plate it has sucked to the loading and unloading station 1021, and then the punching device 102 can move the whole plate to the punching station 1022 for punching and cutting, and then move the punched and cut whole plate back to the loading and unloading station 1021.

[0034] The moving mechanism 40 can be operated to move the suction member 30 close to the loading and unloading station 1021 to suck the whole plate after punching and cutting. The moving mechanism 40 can then move the suction member 30 and the whole plate it has sucked to the plate discharge station 1012. The loading and unloading conveying mechanism 20 can then be operated to transfer the whole plate from the plate discharge station 1012 to the outside of the stamping equipment 100.

[0035] It is understood that when the suction member 30 sucks the whole board from the board infeed station 1011 and places the whole board at the board outfeed station 1012, the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 stops operating. The loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 can be connected to a conveyor device (not shown) outside the stamping equipment 100. The loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 can receive whole boards that have not been stamped or cut from the conveyor device and transfer whole boards that have been stamped or cut to the conveyor device.

[0036] It is understood that the suction member 30 can suck the entire panel using a vacuum. The suction member 30 can be connected to a vacuum device (not shown) and utilize the vacuum function of the vacuum device to achieve suction of the entire panel. Exemplarily, the suction member 30 can include a connecting plate and multiple suction cups. The multiple suction cups can be connected to the vacuum device and fixedly mounted on the connecting plate; the connecting plate can be fixedly mounted on the movable end of the movable mechanism 40.

[0037] It is understood that the moving mechanism 40 can be a mechanism having the function of driving the component to move along multiple linear directions and rotate around multiple rotational axes. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the moving mechanism 40 may be a robotic arm.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the type of the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20. For example, the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20 can be, but is not limited to, a conveyor belt mechanism.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the fixing method during the fixed connection and fixed installation. For example, the fixing method may include, but is not limited to, bolt fixing, screw fixing, welding fixing, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20 may include a first transmission component 21, a second transmission component 22 and an adjustment component 23. The first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 can both be transmission components formed by a conveyor belt, a pulley, a motor and a frame. The first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction. The first transmission component 21 is fixedly mounted on the loading and unloading machine platform 10, and the second transmission component 22 can be movably connected to the loading and unloading machine platform 10 in the first horizontal direction. The first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction. The first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 can both receive the same whole plate from the bottom in the vertical direction, and the first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 are respectively in contact with the whole plate on both sides of the bottom surface of the whole plate spaced apart in the first horizontal direction.

[0041] The adjustment component 23 is fixedly mounted on the loading and unloading machine platform 10 and is connected to the second transmission component 22. The adjustment component 23 can drive the second transmission component 22 to be disposed close to or away from the first transmission component 21.

[0042] It is understood that the movable connection is achieved by a movable connecting member, which can enable the two components to undergo relative linear motion. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of movable connecting member is not specifically limited. For example, the movable connecting member can include, but is not limited to, a linear guide pair.

[0043] It can be understood that the adjustment component 23 can be an electric or pneumatic component with a linear motion drive function. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the adjustment component 23 is not specifically limited. For example, the adjustment component 23 may include a screw and a motor. The screw can extend along the first horizontal direction. The screw can pass through the frame in the second transmission component 22 and be threadedly connected to the frame; the screw can be rotatably connected to a boss fixed on the loading and unloading machine platform 10, and the motor can be fixedly mounted on the loading and unloading frame. The screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the motor can drive the screw to rotate. In this way, the motor can drive the second transmission component 22 to move in the first horizontal direction by driving the screw to rotate, so that the second transmission component 22 is close to or away from the first transmission component 21.

[0044] It can be understood that according to the different specifications of the whole board, the staff can adjust the distance between the first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22 through the adjustment component 23, so that the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20 can undertake whole boards of different widths and realize the transmission of whole boards of various specifications.

[0045] It is understood that a rotational connection is achieved by a rotational connector, which allows two components to rotate relative to each other. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the rotational connector is not specifically limited. For example, the rotational connector may include, but is not limited to, a hinge, a bearing, a pin, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading device 101 may further include multiple transport and lifting mechanisms 50. The multiple transport and lifting mechanisms 50 may be arranged in a row along the second horizontal direction. At least one transport and lifting mechanism 50 is provided at each of the board loading station 1011 and the board unloading station 1012. The multiple transport and lifting mechanisms 50 are located between the first transport assembly 21 and the second transport assembly 22.

[0047] Each transport lifting mechanism 50 may include a transport lifting member 51 and a receiving assembly 52. The transport lifting member 51 is detachably connected to the loading and unloading platform 10. The receiving assembly 52 may include a receiving plate 521 and multiple receiving brackets 522. The receiving plate 521 is fixedly connected to the transport lifting member 51. The multiple receiving brackets 522 are detachably connected to the receiving plate 521, and each receiving bracket 522 is provided with a protruding positioning post 523. Each receiving bracket 522 protrudes longitudinally from a corresponding side of the receiving plate 521. Each positioning post 523 can be inserted through a corresponding positioning hole (not shown) in the entire plate, thereby positioning the entire plate on the receiving assembly 52. After the positioning post 523 passes through the positioning hole, the multiple receiving brackets 522 can receive the entire plate, thereby ensuring that the receiving assembly 52 receives the receiving bracket 522. The transport lifting member 51 can drive the receiving plate 521 to move vertically. When the receiving plate 521 rises, the receiving bracket 522 and the whole board received by the receiving bracket 522 can be driven to rise synchronously, thereby separating the whole board from the loading and unloading conveying mechanism 20. Then the suction member 30 can suck the whole board on the receiving assembly 52.

[0048] It can be understood that after the entire board is positioned on the receiving component 52, the suction member 30 then absorbs the entire board, so that the entire board can be placed at a preset angle and a preset height when being absorbed, which facilitates the suction member 30 to absorb the entire board.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the type of the transmission lifting member 51. For example, the transmission lifting member 51 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a linear motor, etc.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the connection method between the receiving plate 521 and the receiving bracket 522 is not specifically limited. For example, the receiving plate 521 may have multiple sockets 524, and each receiving bracket 522 may have a positioning slot 525 extending along the length of the receiving bracket 522. Each receiving bracket 522 may be connected to at least one bolt (not shown), each of which can be passed through a corresponding positioning slot 525 and a corresponding socket 524 and tightened, thereby connecting multiple receiving brackets 522 to the receiving plate 521. In this way, when the specifications of the entire board to be received by the receiving assembly 52 changes, the staff can adjust the installation position of the receiving bracket 522 on the receiving plate 521, thereby adjusting the length and width of the receiving assembly 52 in the first and second horizontal directions, so that the receiving assembly 52 can adapt to entire boards of different specifications.

[0051] It is understood that the position of the transmission jack 51 on the loading and unloading platform 10 can be changed to accommodate changes in the length and width of the receiving assembly 52, thereby reducing the risk of interference between the receiving assembly 52 and the first and second transmission assemblies 21 and 22. For example, the transmission jack 51 can be fixedly mounted on a sliding platform, which can have a through slot extending along a first horizontal direction. By passing a screw through the through slot and threading it into the loading and unloading platform 10, the transmission jack 51 can be relatively fixed to the loading and unloading platform 10. The position of the transmission jack 51 can be adjusted by loosening the screw and moving the sliding platform along the direction in which the through slot extends.

[0052] For example, the loading and unloading device 101 is provided with a plate feeding station 1011 and a plate discharging station 1012, and includes two transmission jacking mechanisms 50. The two transmission jacking mechanisms 50 are respectively located at the plate feeding station 1011 and the plate discharging station 1012. The moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 to move, so that the suction member 30 sucks the whole plate that has not been punched and cut from the transmission jacking mechanism 50 at the plate feeding station 1011, and the suction member 30 places the whole plate that has been punched and cut on the transmission jacking mechanism 50 at the plate discharging station 1012. The transmission jacking mechanism 50 at the plate discharging station 1012 can drive the whole plate to descend until it abuts against the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20, so that the whole plate is supported by the first transmission component 21 and the second transmission component 22. After the whole plate is separated from the plurality of positioning posts 523 on the receiving assembly 52 , the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20 can operate to move the punched and cut whole plate out of the punching equipment 100 to achieve unloading of the whole plate.

[0053] It is understood that a sensor (not shown) can be provided on the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 to detect whether a whole board is being conveyed on the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 and whether the whole board is located at the board feed station 1011. A blocking assembly (not shown) can also be provided on the loading and unloading machine 10. When the sensor detects that a whole board is located at the board feed station 1011, the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 can stop working as a whole or the portion located at the board feed station 1011 can stop working. At the same time, the blocking assembly can prevent the whole board from continuing to be conveyed, allowing the loading and unloading lifting structure to receive the whole board and keep the whole board at the board feed station 1011. The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the type of sensor. For example, the sensor can be, but is not limited to, an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0054] It can be understood that the sensor on the loading and unloading material transmission mechanism 20 can also detect whether the whole plate enters the plate output station 1012. When the sensor detects that the whole plate is located at the plate output station 1012, the loading and unloading material transmission mechanism 20 can start working as a whole or the part located at the plate output station 1012 can start working to transfer the whole plate to the outside of the stamping equipment 100 to realize the discharge of the whole plate.

[0055] Please also refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the stamping device 100 may further include a processor 103. The processor 103 may be in communication with the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20, the moving mechanism 40, and the suction member 30. The processor 103 may control the loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20, the moving mechanism 40, and the suction member 30 to operate according to preset rules. The suction member 30 may absorb and release the entire plate. The moving mechanism 40 may drive the suction member 30 to move to multiple positions and position the suction member 30 at multiple angles. The loading and unloading conveyor mechanism 20 may load and unload the entire plate.

[0056] The loading and unloading device 101 may further include a camera 60. The camera 60 may be fixedly mounted on the loading and unloading machine platform 10. The camera 60 may be communicatively connected to the processor 103. After the suction member 30 absorbs the entire board from the board feeding station 1011, the moving mechanism 40 may drive the suction member 30 to move and rotate, so that the suction member 30 approaches the shooting position of the camera 60 and moves into the shooting position of the camera 60. The camera 60 may then take a picture of the entire board and output the image information corresponding to the photographed picture to the processor 103. The processor 103 may determine the current placement angle of the entire board based on the image information, and determine the difference between the current placement angle of the entire board and the preset placement angle. The processor 103 may output a trigger instruction to the moving mechanism 40 based on the determined difference, so that the moving mechanism 40 drives the suction member 30 to rotate, thereby adjusting the placement angle of the entire board.

[0057] It can be understood that the communication connection can be a wired communication connection achieved through devices such as signal lines, or it can be a wireless communication connection achieved through technologies such as Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, 5G, wireless LAN, etc. The embodiments of this application are not limited to this.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the type of the imaging device 60. For example, the imaging device 60 may be, but is not limited to, a CCD camera.

[0059] It can be understood that after the moving mechanism 40 drives the suction member 30 to rotate to adjust the placement angle of the entire plate, the suction member 30 can be driven to approach the loading and unloading station 1021, and the suction member 30 can release the entire plate so that the entire plate is placed on the loading and unloading station 1021 at a preset placement angle. After the entire plate is placed on the loading and unloading station 1021 at a preset placement angle, the punching device 102 can drive the entire plate to move to the punching station 1022 and punch and cut the preset parts on the entire plate. In this way, the adjustment of the placement angle of the entire plate can improve the accuracy of the punching and cutting of the entire plate, reduce the situation where the punching and cutting parts are incorrect due to the tilt of the entire plate, and improve the yield rate of the punching and cutting processing of the entire plate.

[0060] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading device 101 may further include a flatness detection member 70 . The flatness detection member 70 is fixedly mounted on the suction member 30 and is in communication with the processor 103 .

[0061] After the entire board is released by the suction member 30 at the loading and unloading station 1021, the moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 and the flatness detection member 70 to move synchronously, so that the flatness detection member 70 moves to the loading and unloading station 1021 and detects whether the entire board is placed flat. The flatness detection member 70 can output detection information corresponding to the detection result to the processor 103. The processor 103 can determine whether the entire board is placed flat at the loading and unloading station 1021 based on the detection information and output an alarm message if it is determined that it is not flat.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the form of the alarm information is not specifically limited. For example, the alarm information can be in the form of the power level of an alarm light, an alarm audio played by a buzzer, etc.

The mobile mechanism 40 can drive the flat detection member 70 to move to a plurality of detection points preset, and the flat detection member 70 can detect the height of the part of the whole plate located at the plurality of detection points, and generate corresponding detection information, and then output the plurality of detection information to the processor 103. After the processor 103 receives the plurality of detection information, it can determine the height corresponding to the plurality of detection points, and determine whether the whole plate is flat by determining whether the height values corresponding to the plurality of detection points meet the preset conditions.

The projection of the upper mold in the vertical direction coincides with the projection of the stamping station 1022 in the vertical direction, and the upper mold can be spaced apart from the stamping machine table 80 in the vertical direction. The mold transfer mechanism 120 can drive the receiving seat 110 to move in the second horizontal direction, so that the lower mold 200 and the entire plate received by it can move back and forth between the loading and unloading station 1021 and the stamping station 1022.

[0065] The mold transfer mechanism 120 can drive the receiving seat 110 to move to the stamping station 1022, so that the lower mold 200 and the entire plate it receives can be moved to the stamping station 1022, and then the stamping drive mechanism 130 can drive the upper mold to descend to approach the stamping station 1022, and the upper mold and the lower mold 200 are combined to achieve stamping and cutting of the entire plate.

[0066] After the stamping and cutting are completed, the stamping drive mechanism 130 can drive the upper mold to rise away from the stamping station 1022. After the upper mold is separated from the lower mold 200, the mold transmission mechanism 120 can drive the receiving seat 110 to move to the loading and unloading station 1021, so that the lower mold 200 and the entire plate it receives can be moved to the loading and unloading station 1021.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the structure of the upper mold and the lower mold 200. The lower mold 200 shown in the figure is used to indicate the relative position relationship between the lower mold 200 and the receiving seat 110, and does not indicate the specific structure of the lower mold 200.

[0068] It is understood that the mold transfer mechanism 120 is an electric or pneumatic mechanism with a linear drive function. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the mold transfer mechanism 120 is not specifically limited.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the shape of the receiving seat 110. For example, the receiving seat 110 may be arch-shaped, with a groove 111 formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the receiving seat 110, and the groove 111 can allow the mold to pass through along the second horizontal direction.

[0070] It is understood that the punch drive mechanism 130 is an electric or pneumatic mechanism with a linear drive function.

For example, the punch drive mechanism 130 can be, but is not limited to, a rodless cylinder, a linear motor, or a mechanism formed by a combination of a lead screw and a motor.

[0071] It is understood that both the mold transfer mechanism 120 and the stamping drive mechanism 130 can be communicatively connected to the processor 103. When the processor 103 determines, through the flatness detection element 70, that the entire panel is flatly placed at the loading and unloading station 1021, it can control the mold transfer mechanism 120 to operate, moving the receiving seat 110, the lower mold 200, and the entire panel to the stamping station 1022. The processor 103 can then control the stamping drive mechanism 130 to operate, causing the upper and lower molds 200 to close together and cut the entire panel.

[0072] It is understood that a plurality of sensors (not shown) may be provided on one side of the mold transfer mechanism 120 in the first horizontal direction, and the sensors may detect the position of the mover of the mold transfer mechanism 120, that is, the position of the receiving seat 110. The sensors may be connected to the processor 103 for communication. The processor 103 may determine through a plurality of sensors whether the receiving seat 110 has moved to the loading and unloading station 1021 and the stamping station 1022, and may control the mold transfer mechanism 120 to stop working when it is determined that the receiving seat 110 is located at the loading and unloading station 1021 and the stamping station 1022, and then control other mechanisms in the stamping equipment 100 to complete corresponding tasks.

The plurality of first through holes 112 may be spaced apart in the first horizontal direction and / or the second horizontal direction, and the plurality of first through holes 112 may pass through the receiving seat 110 in the vertical direction. A plurality of second through holes 201 are provided on the lower mold 200, and the plurality of second through holes 201 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first through holes 112. The plurality of second through holes 201 may pass through the lower mold 200 in the vertical direction. A plurality of positioning pins may be provided on the lower mold 200, and each positioning pin may pass through the corresponding first through hole 112 and second through hole 201, so that the receiving seat 110 and the lower mold 200 are relatively fixed.

[0074] In some embodiments, the stamping device 102 may further include a sliding mechanism 140. The sliding mechanism 140 may include a slide rail 141 and a slider 142. The slider 142 may be fixedly mounted to the bottom of the receiving seat 110, and the slide rail 141 may be fixedly mounted to the stamping machine table 80. The slider 142 may extend along the second horizontal direction and be spaced apart from the mold transfer mechanism 120 in the first horizontal direction. The slider 142 may be slidably connected to the slide rail 141 along the second horizontal direction.

[0075] It can be understood that the sliding mechanism 140 can support the receiving seat 110 from the bottom, thereby reducing the load of the mold transmission mechanism 120 and improving the service life of the mold transmission mechanism 120.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the number of sliding mechanisms 140. For example, there are two sliding mechanisms 140, each of which includes a slide rail 141 and multiple sliders 142. The two slide rails 141 are located on either side of the mold transfer mechanism 120 in the second horizontal direction, and multiple sliders 142 are slidably connected to each slide rail 141. The multiple sliders 142 are fixedly connected to the receiving seat 110 on the bottom surface of the receiving seat 110, and are positioned on both sides of the second horizontal direction so as to avoid the groove 111 on the bottom of the receiving seat 110.

[0077] Please also refer to Figure 8In some embodiments, the stamping device 102 further includes a plurality of stamping lifting mechanisms 150. The plurality of stamping lifting mechanisms 150 can be spaced apart in a horizontal direction and / or a second horizontal direction. Each stamping lifting mechanism 150 includes a top column 151 and a stamping lifting member 152. The plurality of top columns 151 can penetrate the socket 110 in the vertical direction. The plurality of stamping lifting members 152 can be communicatively connected with the processor 103. The plurality of stamping lifting members 152 can be fixedly mounted on the socket 110 and respectively located on the two side walls of the bottom groove 111 of the socket 110 in the second horizontal direction. The plurality of stamping lifting members 152 can correspond one-to-one to the plurality of top columns 151. Each stamping lifting member 152 is fixedly connected to the corresponding top column 151 and can drive the corresponding top column 151 to move in the vertical direction.

[0078] It can be understood that when the entire plate is located at the loading and unloading station 1021, the plurality of ejector pins 151 can be located below the lower mold 200 and spaced apart from the lower mold 200. When the entire plate moves to the stamping station 1022, the processor 103 can control the plurality of stamping ejectors 152 to operate, and the plurality of stamping ejectors 152 can drive the plurality of ejector pins 151 to rise. The plurality of ejector pins 151 can abut against the bottom surface of the lower mold 200 and lift the lower mold 200, separating the lower mold 200 from the receiving seat 110. Then, the upper mold can be lowered to punch and cut the entire plate on the lower mold 200. During the process of closing the upper and lower molds 200, the plurality of ejector pins 151 can support the lower mold 200.

[0079] When the punching and cutting are completed, the processor 103 can control the multiple punching lifting members 152 to operate, so that the multiple ejector pins 151 are lowered to the initial height to separate from the lower mold 200, and then the mold transfer mechanism 120 operates to move the lower mold 200 and the entire plate to the loading and unloading station 1021. The moving mechanism 40 can then drive the suction member 30 to move to the loading and unloading station 1021 to suck the entire plate that has been punched and cut, and drive the suction member 30 and the entire plate to move to the plate discharge station 1012 to unload the entire plate.

[0080] It can be understood that the plurality of punching and lifting members 152 are located on both sides of the groove 111 at the bottom of the receiving seat 110, that is, on both sides of the receiving seat 110 near the slider 142. When the ejector column 151 is subjected to the pressure transmitted by the upper mold, the pressure can be transmitted to both sides of the receiving seat 110 through the punching and lifting members 152, and then to the slider 142 and the slide rail 141, thereby reducing the pressure on the middle part of the receiving seat 110 and reducing the pressure on the mold transfer mechanism 120 connected to the middle part of the receiving seat 110, thereby increasing the service life of the mold transfer mechanism 120.

[0081] It is understood that the stamping lift member 152 can be an electric or pneumatic member with a linear motion drive function. In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the stamping lift member 152 is not specifically limited. For example, the stamping lift member 152 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a linear motor, etc. Exemplarily, the stamping lift member 152 can be a cylinder, and the solenoid valve of the stamping lift member 152 can be communicatively connected to the processor 103.

[0082] In some embodiments, the stamping device 102 may further include a touch screen 160. The touch screen 160 is fixedly mounted on the stamping machine frame 90 and is in communication with the processor 103. A worker can view the working status and alarm information of the stamping device 100 through the touch screen 160, and can also output instructions to the processor 103 through the touch screen 160, causing the processor 103 to trigger the mechanism of the stamping device 100 to perform corresponding operations.

[0083] The stamping equipment 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize automatic loading and unloading and stamping and cutting of the whole plate. The specific working process is as follows:

[0084] After the loading and unloading conveying mechanism 20 transfers the unstamped whole plate to the plate feeding station 1011, the moving mechanism 40 drives the suction member 30 to approach the plate feeding station 1011 and suck up the whole plate, and then drives the suction member 30 to move to the shooting position of the camera 60. The camera 60 takes a picture of the whole plate and outputs the corresponding image information to the processor 103. The processor 103 determines whether the placement angle of the whole plate deviates from the preset placement angle based on the image information, and outputs a trigger instruction to the moving mechanism 40 when it is determined to deviate. After receiving the trigger instruction, the moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 to rotate and adjust the placement angle of the whole plate. Then, the moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 and the whole plate to move to the loading and unloading station 1021 on the stamping device 102. The suction member 30 can release the whole plate and place the whole plate on the lower mold 200 at the loading and unloading station 1021, completing the loading of the whole plate.

[0085] The moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 to move, so that the flatness detection member 70 detects the height of multiple detection points and outputs the corresponding detection information to the processor 103. The processor 103 can determine whether the entire plate is placed flat based on the detection information, and output an alarm message if it is not flat. If the processor 103 determines that the entire plate is placed flat, the mold transmission mechanism 120 can drive the receiving seat 110 to move to the stamping station 1022, so that the lower mold 200 and the entire plate are moved to the stamping station 1022. Then the multiple stamping lifting members 152 work, so that the top column 151 rises and lifts the lower mold 200, and then the stamping drive mechanism 130 works to drive the upper mold downward to approach the stamping station 1022. After the upper mold and the lower mold 200 are combined, the entire plate is stamped and cut. Then, the multiple punching lifting members 152 drive the multiple ejector columns 151 to descend, allowing the lower mold 200 to be received on the receiving seat 110. The mold transfer mechanism 120 can then transfer the receiving seat 110 to the loading and unloading station 1021. The moving mechanism 40 can drive the suction member 30 to move to the loading and unloading station 1021 to suck up the entire plate that has been punched and cut, and then drive the suction member 30 to move to the plate discharge station 1012 to release the entire plate. The loading and unloading transfer mechanism 20 can drive the entire plate at the plate discharge station 1012 to move out of the stamping equipment 100, completing the unloading of the entire plate, and allowing the entire plate to continue other processing.

[0086] It can be understood that through the stamping equipment 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the loading and unloading transmission mechanism 20, the moving mechanism 40 and the suction member 30 can cooperate to move the entire plate from the plate feeding station 1011 to the loading and unloading station 1021, and from the loading and unloading station 1021 to the plate output station 1012; the mold transmission mechanism 120 can make the entire plate move back and forth between the loading and unloading station 1021 and the stamping station 1022. In this way, the stamping device 102 and the loading and unloading device 101 cooperate to automatically realize the loading, unloading and stamping of the entire plate, reducing the manual loading and unloading process of the staff, reducing labor consumption and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading the entire plate, thereby improving the efficiency of processing the entire plate.

[0087] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present application.
