Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sheet material handling device, and more particularly to a handling device capable of quickly picking up a preset sheet material and conveying it. The utility model is a conveying mechanism of a conveying unit assembled at a track of a conveying platform, and each material-retrieving portion of the conveying unit can be used to conveniently obtain the preset sheet material, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid handling and transfer. Background Art

[0002] Generally, sheet-like objects that require multiple processing steps are transported and delivered between processing stations via conveyor systems (e.g., conveyor belts, conveyor rollers, conveyor tracks, or robotic arms). However, various conveyor systems are limited by their overall design and the planning of the process for transporting the objects to be processed. The transmission and delivery speed of the conveyor system is not too fast to prevent the objects from colliding or falling out of the conveyor system due to excessive transmission and delivery speed. However, this also results in the inability to increase the transmission speed, affecting the speed and time of the overall processing process, which is less economical.

[0003] Moreover, when the objects to be processed are conveyed through the conveying system, contact friction is likely to occur between the objects to be processed and the conveying system, which may easily lead to scratches or wear on the surface of the objects to be processed. If the objects to be processed are made of materials such as plastic, silicone or acrylic, which are all thin sheets, they may easily form adhesion or sticking between the objects to be processed due to stacking, handling or transferring operations in various processing processes. In various processing processes, it is easy to obtain two or more pieces of objects to be processed at one time, resulting in a state where processing cannot be carried out. The defects such as adhesion of multiple pieces of objects to be processed must be eliminated before the processing process can be carried out. This not only affects the smoothness of the processing process, but also causes defects such as delays in the processing process, and even deteriorates the processing quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the current problems and troubles of slow transmission and transportation of sheet-like objects to be processed, which leads to extended processing time and process sequence, and how to solve the problems and troubles of slow transmission and transportation of sheet-like objects to be processed, and how to solve the problems and troubles of stacking and sticking to each other during transportation, which affects the smooth processing process, are the areas that manufacturers engaged in this industry are urgently researching and improving.
