[0034] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the utility model proposes an automatic sheet material slotting device.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the automatic sheet slotting device includes:

[0036] Rack 1, rack 1 includes a first area 101 and a second area 102;

[0037] The feeding mechanism 2 is provided in the first zone 101 and includes a loading module 202, a unloading module 201, and an intermediate module 203. The intermediate module 203 can switch between the heights of the loading module 202 and the unloading module 201 for loading and unloading sheets.

[0038] The placing mechanism 3 is arranged in the second zone 102, and the placing mechanism 3 includes a conveying component, and the conveying component is used to receive and push out the workpiece plate;

[0039] The material clamping mechanism is arranged in the second area 102 . The material clamping mechanism includes a mechanical arm 4 and a clamping mechanism 5 . The clamping mechanism is arranged at the free end of the mechanical arm 4 . The clamping mechanism 5 includes a plurality of material grabbing components 503 and a material pressing component 504 .

[0040] In this embodiment, multiple grabbing components 503 are provided in the clamping mechanism, so that multiple sheets can be grabbed at a time, and the sheets can be transferred and inserted into the designated card slots, thereby improving the slot efficiency, reducing the time required in the slot process, and speeding up the production line processing process.

[0041] At the same time, the pressing component 504 provided in this embodiment can press the sheet material after the grabbing component 503 inserts the sheet material into the slot, so that the sheet material fully enters the slot, thereby improving the quality of the sheet material's slot.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the gripping mechanism 5 also includes a connecting plate 502, which is arranged at the free end of the robotic arm 4, and a plurality of grabbing assemblies 503 and a pressing assemblies 504 are arranged on the connecting plate 502, and the plurality of grabbing assemblies 503 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing assembly 504, and the spacing between the grabbing assemblies 503 and between the grabbing assemblies 503 and the pressing assemblies 504 are equal.

[0043] In this embodiment, the stability of the entire clamping mechanism 5 can be ensured by symmetrically arranging the multiple material grabbing components 503 on both sides of the material pressing component 504.

[0044] For example, in this embodiment, the number of the grabbing components 503 is four, and the number of the pressing components 504 is one. In another embodiment, the number of the grabbing components 503 and the pressing components 504 can be increased or decreased according to actual conditions to improve the efficiency of clamping and pressing the materials.

[0045] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, a connecting member 501 is provided on the connecting plate 502, and the connecting member 501 is connected to the lifting rod 401 on the robotic arm 4. After the installation is completed, the connecting plate 502 can move up and down driven by the lifting rod 401, so that the clamping mechanism 5 moves to the specified position to complete the grabbing of the sheet material.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the grabbing assembly 503 includes a first driver 5031 and a second driver 5034. The first driver 5031 is arranged on the connecting plate 502. The output end of the first driver 5031 is provided with a connecting head 5033. The second driver 5034 is arranged at the free end of the connecting head 5033. The second driver 5034 is a double-headed cylinder. The output end of the second driver 5034 is provided with a clamping block 5035. The second driver 5034 is provided with a positioning block 5036 on the side away from the first driver 5031. The positioning block 5036 is used for positioning the sheet material. The clamping block 5035 is used to clamp the sheet material close to each other or loosen the sheet material away from each other. The positioning block 5036 is provided with a positioning groove 5038 for positioning the sheet material, and the positioning block 5036 is provided with an avoidance groove 5039.

[0047] Illustratively, a clamping groove 5037 is provided on the side where the clamping blocks 5035 are close to each other, and a positioning groove 5038 is provided on the end surface of the positioning block 5036 away from the second driver 5034.

[0048] Exemplarily, a positioning plate 5032 is provided at the output end of the first driver 5031 , a connector 5033 is provided on a side of the positioning plate 5032 away from the first driver 5031 , and the second driver 5034 is provided at a free end of the connector 5033 .

[0049] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, since the clamping blocks 5035 move closer to or away from each other under the drive of the second driver 5034, the positioning groove 5038 opened on the positioning block 5036 can avoid the clamping block 5035 and prevent the movement of the clamping block 5035 from causing motion interference with the positioning block 5036.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the pressing assembly 504 includes a third driver 5014 and a pressing plate 5043. The third driver 5014 is arranged on the connecting plate 502. The output end of the third driver 5014 is provided with a fixed plate 5042. The pressing plate 5043 is arranged on the side of the fixed plate 5042 away from the third driver 5014. The pressing plate 5043 is provided with a pressing groove 5044 for pressing the sheet material.

[0051] Exemplarily, the pressing plate 5043 has a first position and a second position. When the grabbing assembly 503 grabs the material, the pressing plate 5043 is located at the first position. When pressing the material, the third driver 5014 drives the pressing plate 5043 to the second position.

[0052] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, when the grabbing assembly 503 grabs the material, the pressing plate 5043 is in a retracted position. After the slots on the workpiece plate are filled, the third driver 5014 in the pressing assembly 504 is quickly extended to extend the pressing plate 5043. At this time, the lowest point of the pressing plate 5043 is lower than the lowest point of the positioning block 5036, and finally reaches the second position. The sheet materials entering the slots are pressed by the drive of the robotic arm 4, so that the sheet materials and the slots are assembled.

[0053] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, a sensor is provided on the third driver 5014. After the pressing plate 5043 is extended, it moves downward under the drive of the lifting rod 401, driving the sheet material to move downward until it reaches the bottom of the slot. After the assembly is completed, the sheet material and the slot are assembled, and the sheet material can no longer move downward. Therefore, the sheet material will generate an upward force on the pressing plate 5043. The force sensed by the pressing plate 5043 is transmitted to the third driver 5014. The sensor senses the change in piston pressure on the third driver 5014, and immediately stops the lifting rod 401 from continuing to descend, thereby effectively preventing the sheet material from being crushed.

[0054] In this embodiment, a visual positioning module 506 is also provided on the clamping mechanism 5. The visual positioning module 506 includes a mounting plate 505 arranged on the connecting plate 502 and a visual locator arranged on the mounting plate 505, which is used to identify the sheet material and adjust the position of the clamping mechanism 5 to facilitate the grabbing component 503 to grab the sheet material.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, a positioning mechanism is further included. The positioning mechanism is disposed in the second area 102 . The positioning mechanism includes a plurality of positioning seats 6 . The spacing between the positioning seats 6 is equal to the spacing between the positioning blocks 5036 .

[0056] In this embodiment, a positioning mechanism is provided for positioning the sheet material. After the clamping mechanism 5 grabs four sheets at a time, the sheet material is positioned at the positioning mechanism so that the sheet material enters the positioning seat 6. The clamping block 5035 is loosened and then re-clamped to achieve re-clamping and improve the stability of the clamping.

[0057] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, a detection mechanism is further included. The detection mechanism is arranged on one side of the positioning mechanism, and the detection mechanism is a visual judge 7 .

[0058] After the positioning is completed, the entire clamping mechanism 5 moves to the detection mechanism so that the sheet is located above the visual judge 7. Each clamping component is extended separately through the first driver 5031. The visual judge 7 determines whether the direction of the sheet is anti-reverse. If it is not reversed, the slot is inserted. If it is reversed, the machine alarm is sounded and manual processing is performed.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the intermediate module 203 includes a driving plate 207, and a driving mechanism is provided on the frame 1. The driving mechanism includes a slide rail 204 and a driving cylinder 206 arranged on the frame 1. The driving cylinder 206 is connected to the driving plate 207, and the intermediate module 203 is provided with a slider 205 that is slidably connected to the slide rail 204.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the driving cylinder 206 drives the driving plate 207 to move up and down, the provided slider 205 and slide rail 204 can guide the intermediate module 203, so that it can move up and down stably on the frame 1 so as to be aligned with the loading module 202 and the unloading module 201.

[0061] For example, the unloading module 201 is set on the frame 1, and the loading module 202 is set on the unloading module 201. When the intermediate module 203 rises, it is aligned with the loading module 202 in height. When the intermediate module 203 descends, it is aligned with the unloading module 201. When the intermediate module 203 is aligned with the loading module 202, the loading plate for carrying the sheets is transferred from the loading module 202 until it enters the intermediate module 203. After positioning, the slot process can be carried out. When all the sheets on a loading plate are transferred to the slot, the intermediate module 203 moves down and aligns with the unloading module 201. The empty loading plate can be transferred to the unloading module 201 and then transported in the reverse direction.

[0062] For example, in this embodiment, the loading module 202, the unloading module 201, and the intermediate module 203 are all equipped with a conveying mechanism, which includes a motor and a feed roller. The feed roller is used to transport the sheet material. In this embodiment, the loading module 202, the unloading module 201, and the intermediate module 203 all use the conveying mechanism to transport the loading plate.

[0063] It's worth noting that the intermediate module 203 is equipped with a pressure cylinder 208 and a fixed block 209, located on either side of the sheet transport direction. As the loading plate moves from the feed module toward the intermediate module 203, it is restrained by a stop plate 210 at the end of the intermediate module 203. The pressure cylinder 208 then pushes the loading plate into firm contact with the fixed block 209, effectively positioning the loading plate and preventing it from wobbling during the sheet removal process.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the unloading mechanism is used to position the workpiece plate, and its position parameters are stored in the processor via preset values, and the workpiece plate is transferred to a designated position via the slide rail 204 and the slider 205 .

[0065] To sum up, the utility model can automatically complete the functions of loading, slotting and unloading through the setting of the feeding mechanism 2, the placing mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism, and can clamp multiple sheets at one time through the setting of the clamping mechanism 5, thereby improving the efficiency of the slot, and the setting of the pressing component 504 can press the sheet behind the slot to improve the slot quality of the sheet.

[0066] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
