DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Furthermore, before the film 12 is moved to the film positioning table 31, the film 12 is placed inside the film silo 33, and the film 12 is stacked in the vertical direction. The film 12 is moved from the film silo 33 to the film positioning table 31 by the second robot 32 and the loading robot 323, thereby realizing loading.

[0031] Figure 1 The positional relationship among the second robot 32 , the loading manipulator 323 , the film positioning platform 31 and the film silo 33 is shown, where the loading process of the film 12 is performed.

[0032] Combine Figure 1 The film silo 33 is arranged next to the film positioning platform 31, and the loading robot 323 is installed on the executive part of the second robot 32 for adsorbing or clamping the film 12. The film positioning platform 31 and the film silo 33 are both located within the range of movement of the loading robot 323. The executive part of the second robot 32 can move at least in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby moving the film 12 to the film positioning platform 31 in sequence.

[0033] Figure 2 The partial structure of the second robot 32 and the loading robot 323 are shown.

[0034] Combine Figure 2 The second robot 32 is a two-degree-of-freedom Cartesian coordinate robot, including a first linear drive 321 whose executing part moves in the horizontal direction and a second linear drive 322 whose executing part moves in the vertical direction. The loading robot 323 moves in the horizontal and vertical directions under the drive of the first linear drive 321 and the second linear drive 322, and performs the action of adsorbing and moving the film 12.

[0035] Specifically, the first linear drive 321 is a synchronous belt slide, the second linear drive 322 is a cylinder slide, the first linear drive 321 is fixedly connected to the frame, the second linear drive 322 is fixedly connected to the executive part of the first linear drive 321, and the loading robot 323 is fixedly connected to the executive part of the second linear drive 322.

[0036] The loading robot 323 includes a first suction cup mounting base 324 and a plurality of first vacuum suction cups 325 fixedly connected to the first suction cup mounting base 324 and distributed along a rectangular array. The first vacuum suction cups 325 generate suction to adsorb the adhesive film 12 through a vacuum pump, which is not shown in the figure.

[0037] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The three-dimensional view and the top view of the film silo 33 are shown respectively. Figure 7 and Figure 8 They are two cross-sectional views of the film silo 33 .

[0038] Figure 3 and Figure 4 Two stereoscopic views of the film positioning stage 31 from different perspectives are shown, where the positioning process of the film 12 is performed.

[0039] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the film positioning stage 31 includes:

[0040] The film support plate 311 is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to the frame, and is used to support the bottom wall of the film 12;

[0041] Two film positioning strips 312 are respectively provided on two adjacent sides of the film support plate 311 and fixedly connected to the top wall of the film support plate 311 for abutting against two adjacent sides of the film 12;

[0042] Two film pushers 313 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the two film positioning strips 312 and are connected to the film support plate 311 so as to be horizontally slidable relative to their respective corresponding film positioning strips 312, and are used to abut against the other two adjacent sides of the film 12;

[0043] The two fifth linear drivers 314 are fixedly connected to the film support plate 311 and are respectively connected to the two film push plates 313 for driving the two film push plates 313 to move toward their respective corresponding film positioning strips 312 to cooperate with the two film positioning strips 312 to clamp the four sides of the film 12, thereby completing the positioning work.

[0044] Specifically, the fifth linear drive 314 is a thrust cylinder, and the two thrust cylinders are respectively facing the long side and short side of the film support plate 311. A through hole is provided in the center of the film support plate 311, and a photoelectric switch is installed in the through hole. The photoelectric switch is used to detect whether there is a film 12 above the film support plate 311, so that the controller determines whether it is necessary to start the fifth linear drive 314.

[0045] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The three-dimensional view and the top view of the film silo 33 are shown respectively. Figure 7 and Figure 8 They are two cross-sectional views of the film silo 33 .

[0046] Combine Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the film silo 33 includes:

[0047] The film rack 331 includes a film positioning cylinder 3311 and a film supporting rod 3312 connected to the bottom of the film positioning cylinder 3311. The film supporting rod 3312 is used to support the bottom wall of the film 12, and the film positioning cylinder 3311 is used to limit the four sides of the film 12.

[0048] The film lifting plate 332 is movably disposed below the film rack 331 and is capable of vertically moving through the gap between the film positioning cylinder 3311 and the film supporting rod 3312 to lift the film 12 on the film supporting rod 3312 to the working height of the loading robot 323.

[0049] The third linear drive 333 is fixedly connected to the frame and is transmission-connected to the film lifting plate 332 , and is used to lift the remaining films 12 upward by the thickness of one film 12 after the loading robot 323 takes away one film 12 .

[0050] Specifically, the film positioning cylinder 3311 is a rectangular cylinder formed by four vertical plates. The four inner walls of the film positioning cylinder 3311 are used to contact the four sides of the film 12 respectively. The center line of the film positioning cylinder 3311 is vertically set. The film lifting plate 332 is a horizontally set flat plate. The film lifting plate 332 is clearance-matched with the film positioning cylinder 3311, and a notch 3321 is provided on the film lifting plate 332 for avoiding the film support rod 3312, so that the film lifting plate 332 can move along the axis of the film positioning cylinder 3311. The third linear drive 333 is an electric screw slide.

[0051] Preferably, combined Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 The film material rack 331 is horizontally movably connected to the frame through a first slide rail 334. The first slide rail 334 is installed on both sides of the width direction of the film material rack 331. The side of the film material rack 331 facing the staff is fixedly connected with a handle 3313. The side of the film material rack 331 facing away from the staff is provided with a material rack positioning seat 3314. The material rack positioning seat 3314 is used to connect the material rack positioning piece 335 to lock the position of the film material rack 331. The material rack positioning piece 335 is movably connected to the frame and is driven by a fourth linear drive 336 to connect or disconnect from the material rack positioning seat 3314.

[0052] Specifically, the rack positioning seat 3314 has a socket, the rack positioning member 335 is a pin slidably connected to the frame, and the fourth linear drive 336 is a thrust cylinder. When the pin is inserted into the socket, the film rack 331 cannot move through the first slide rail 334.

[0053] When the film 12 inside the film rack 331 is used up by the loading robot 323, the third linear drive 333 drives the film lifting plate 332 to descend to the bottom of the film rack 331, and then the cylinder drives the pin to disengage the rack positioning seat 3314, so that the staff can pull out the film rack 331 to replenish the film 12 inside it.

The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
