DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects solved by the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model and not to limit the utility model.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a laminated board production line, including material conveying line 9, unloading mechanism, unloading transplanting mechanism 8 and multiple material processing equipment, multiple material processing equipment is arranged at intervals along the second direction, material conveying line 9 transports material along the second direction, and each material processing equipment is provided with feeding transplanting mechanism 2 and feeding mechanism.

[0035] The feeding mechanism includes the connection lifting platform 1 and the first conveying device 3, and the first conveying device 3 is suitable for loading material, and the connection lifting platform 1 is provided with the feeding support along the first direction, and the first conveying device 3 can be close to the connection lifting platform 1 along the first direction. The feeding support is lifted by the connection lifting platform 1 to transfer the material between the first conveying device 3 and the connection lifting platform 1.

[0036] The feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 comprises a feeding cross beam 204, a feeding guide rail 201 and a plurality of feeding and transplanting assemblies. The feeding guide rail 201 is installed on the feeding cross beam 204, and the plurality of feeding and transplanting assemblies are slidingly arranged on the feeding guide rail 201 along the first direction. The feeding and transplanting assemblies are used to transfer the materials on the connecting and lifting platform 1 of the feeding mechanism to the material conveying line 9.

[0037] The discharging mechanism comprises a discharging lifting platform 7 and a second conveying device 4. The discharging lifting platform 7 is provided with a discharging support extending along the first direction. The discharging and transplanting mechanism 8 is used to transplant the materials on the material conveying line 9 to the discharging support.

[0038] The second conveying device 4 can approach the discharging lifting platform 7 along the first direction. The discharging lifting platform 7 drives the discharging support to lift, so as to transfer the materials between the second conveying device 4 and the discharging support. In the figure, D1 represents the first direction, and D2 represents the second direction.

[0039] In the figure, the position on the material conveying line 9 for the feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 to place the materials is referred to as a transfer position 5, and the position on the material conveying line 9 for the discharging and transplanting mechanism 8 to transplant the materials is referred to as a discharging position 6.

[0040] Specifically, during feeding, after the connecting and lifting platform 1 drives the feeding support to descend to a certain height, the first conveying device 3 loaded with the materials moves along the first direction to approach the connecting and lifting platform 1, transfers the materials to the feeding support, and then the connecting and lifting platform 1 exits. After the material processing equipment processes the materials on the connecting and lifting platform 1, the feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 transfers the processed materials to the transfer position 5. The material conveying line 9 conveys the materials to the next material processing equipment along the second direction. Similarly, the feeding mechanism of the next material processing equipment feeds the materials, processes the materials on the corresponding connecting and lifting platform 1, and then the corresponding feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 transfers the processed materials to the materials conveyed by the previous material processing equipment, to form a material stack. All the material processing equipment adopts the above-mentioned rhythm to sequentially stack the processed materials, to obtain the required stacking proportion and quantity.

[0041] The material conveying line 9 conveys the material stack obtained at the last material processing equipment to the discharging position 6. The discharging and transplanting mechanism 8 transfers the material stack on the material conveying line 9 to the discharging lifting platform 7. After the second conveying device 4 approaches the discharging lifting platform 7 along the first direction, the discharging lifting platform 7 drives the discharging support to descend, so as to transfer the material stack to the second conveying device 4. Finally, the second conveying device 4 moves away from the discharging lifting platform 7 along the first direction, and conveys the material stack to the next station, to realize automatic discharging through the discharging mechanism. Compared with manual transportation of the material stack, the mechanical automation can operate for a longer time for repetitive discharging actions, to further improve the degree of automation and production efficiency, and save labor cost.

[0042] It should be noted that the size of the material transferred by the plurality of first conveying devices 3 and the connection lifting platform 1 can be the same, and the types can be different. Therefore, the material fed by the plurality of feeding mechanisms can meet different placement quantity requirements. For example, for the case of having three feeding mechanisms, when the total stacking ratio of finished materials is 1:2:1, 1:3:1, the second feeding mechanism needs to transplant materials more frequently. Therefore, the material placement quantity of the corresponding feeding mechanism can be changed according to the working condition without affecting the overall equipment operation logic.

[0043] In the plate stacking production line, each material processing equipment is fed by a corresponding feeding mechanism. The first conveying device 3 of the feeding mechanism moves along the first direction to the connection lifting platform 1, and drives the feeding support to ascend or descend through the lifting of the connection lifting platform 1, so that the material on the connection lifting platform 1 is transferred to the feeding support. Therefore, the material processing equipment and the feeding mechanism can be arranged in a one-to-one manner, and the feeding conveying device does not need to be arranged between the back-to-back material processing equipment. Therefore, the adjacent material processing equipment can be arranged more compactly to reduce the occupied space of the plate stacking production line and improve the space utilization. Moreover, each material processing equipment can be fed with the required type and quantity of material by the corresponding feeding mechanism. The plurality of feeding mechanisms are independent of each other and can feed a plurality of types of materials.

[0044] The first conveying device 3 and the second conveying device 4 can be AGVs.

[0045] In an embodiment, the feeding mechanism further comprises a supporting piece 301 detachably arranged on the first conveying device 3, and the supporting piece 301 is used to support the material. The feeding support comprises a supporting rod 103 extending along the first direction and a positioning piece 104 arranged on the supporting rod 103. The bottom of the supporting piece 301 is provided with a positioning groove matched with the positioning piece 104.

[0046] Specifically, during feeding, the connection lifting platform 1 is lowered to a certain height, and then the first conveying device 3 moves along the preset track to the connection lifting platform 1. The positioning groove at the bottom of the supporting piece 301 is matched with the positioning piece 104 on the connection lifting platform 1, so that the supporting piece 301 loaded with the material is placed on the connection lifting platform 1. After placement, the first conveying device 3 exits, and the connection lifting platform 1 drives the supporting piece 301 to ascend.

[0047] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the connection lifting platform 1 comprises a feeding driving source, a lifting transmission mechanism, a lifting plate 109 and a fixed seat 102, the feeding driving source and the lifting transmission mechanism are arranged on the fixed seat 102, the output end of the feeding driving source is connected with the lifting transmission mechanism, the lifting transmission mechanism is in transmission connection with the lifting plate 109, and the lifting plate 109 is connected with the feeding support.

[0049] When the connection lifting platform 1 needs to be lifted, the feeding motor rotates to drive the chain wheel 101 to drive the chain 107 to climb upward, and then the chain locking screw 108 drives the lifting plate 109 to rise along the guide shaft 106, so as to drive the connection lifting platform 1 to rise.

[0050] In other embodiments, the lifting transmission mechanism can be a screw nut mechanism or a belt pulley mechanism. When the screw nut mechanism is adopted, the screw rod is arranged in the nut, and when the screw rod is driven to rotate by the feeding motor, the nut moving along the screw rod drives the lifting plate 109 to rise and fall.

[0051] In other embodiments, the feeding driving source can be a pneumatic cylinder, and at this time, the lifting transmission mechanism is a linear transmission mechanism, which converts the linear output action of the pneumatic cylinder into the lifting motion of the lifting plate 109.

[0052] In an embodiment, the two ends of the guide shaft 106 are fixed on the fixed seat 102 through a support.

[0053] In an embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0054] In an embodiment, the material processing device is a drilling device.

[0055] In an embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The material processing equipment is arranged in the second direction, and correspondingly, the first conveying device 3 is provided with a plurality of first conveying devices 3. During feeding, all the first conveying devices 3 can feed the respective connection lifting platforms 1 respectively, so as to realize simultaneous feeding of the three material processing equipment.

[0056] In an embodiment, the feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 comprises a feeding beam 204, a feeding guide rail 201 and a plurality of feeding and transplanting assemblies, the feeding guide rail 201 is installed on the feeding beam 204, and the plurality of feeding and transplanting assemblies are slidingly arranged on the feeding guide rail 201 along a first direction, and the feeding and transplanting assemblies are used to transfer the materials on the connection and lifting platform 1 of the feeding mechanism to the material conveying line 9.

[0057] In an embodiment, the feeding and transplanting assembly comprises a feeding manipulator 202, a vacuum suction mechanism 203 and a material shaking mechanism, the feeding manipulator 202 is slidingly installed on the feeding guide rail 201 along the first direction, and the vacuum suction mechanism 203 and the material shaking mechanism are installed on the feeding manipulator 202.

[0058] The feeding manipulator 202 is used to drive the vacuum suction mechanism 203 and the material shaking mechanism to move along the first direction, the vacuum suction mechanism 203 is used to vacuum-suck the materials on the connection and lifting platform 1, and the material shaking mechanism is used to shake the materials sucked by the vacuum suction mechanism 203, so as to prevent the materials sucked by the vacuum suction assembly 203i from being adhered, and to facilitate ensuring that the vacuum suction mechanism 203 sucks only a single piece of material each time.

[0059] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 the vacuum suction mechanism 203 comprises a vacuum suction assembly 203i, a first air cylinder 203c, a second air cylinder 203a and a floating joint 203b, the feeding manipulator 202 is connected to the first air cylinder 203c, the output end of the first air cylinder 203c is connected to the second air cylinder 203a, the floating joint 203b is connected to the output end of the second air cylinder 203a and the vacuum suction assembly 203i, the vacuum suction assembly 203i is used to vacuum-suck the materials on the connection and lifting platform 1, and the output end of the first air cylinder 203c and the output end of the second air cylinder 203a are both movable along a vertical direction to drive the vacuum suction assembly 203i to lift.

[0060] The initial state of the vacuum suction mechanism 203 is that the output ends of the first air cylinder 203c and the second air cylinder 203a are simultaneously retracted, when the feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 starts to transplant the materials, the feeding manipulator 202 drives the vacuum suction assembly 203i to move to the connection and lifting platform 1, the second air cylinder 203a or the first air cylinder 203c is extended, after the vacuum suction assembly 203i sucks a single piece of material, the feeding manipulator 202 drives the vacuum suction assembly 203i to move to the transfer position 5 along the first direction, and the vacuum suction assembly 203i is lowered and places the materials on the material conveying line 9.

[0061] Since the first conveying device 3 is usually loaded with a plurality of pieces of material stacked together, the height of the stack of the pieces of material stacked together on the first conveying device 3 gradually decreases in the process of transferring the single piece of material from the loading and transplanting mechanism 2 to the material conveying line 9 one by one. Therefore, in the later stage of the transplanting process, the first air cylinder 203c and the second air cylinder 203a can both be extended to drive the vacuum chuck assembly 203i to descend to adsorb the single piece of material at a lower position, thereby improving the adsorption effect.

[0062] In an embodiment, at each loading and transplanting mechanism 2, two loading and transplanting assemblies are provided, and the two loading and transplanting assemblies are arranged on both sides of the material conveying line 9 in the first direction. Correspondingly, two connection and lifting platforms 1 are provided, and the two connection and lifting platforms 1 are arranged on both sides of the material conveying line 9 in the first direction, and the loading and transplanting assemblies correspond to the two connection and lifting platforms 1 one by one.

[0063] Therefore, the two loading manipulators 202 can work alternately to transfer the material on the corresponding connection and lifting platform 1 to the material conveying line 9, thereby improving the transplanting efficiency. Moreover, the number of times and the proportion of the two loading and transplanting manipulators to transplant the material on the corresponding connection and lifting platform 1 can be adjusted according to the production requirements of the finished material, so that the stacking production line can be applied to more different types of materials.

[0065] In an embodiment, a limiting screw 203e is installed on the base of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 203, and the limiting screw 203e is used for position limiting when the vacuum guide rail 203d moves.

[0067] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the vacuum chuck assembly 203i includes a rectangular frame 203g and a plurality of vacuum suction heads mounted on the rectangular frame 203g, and the rectangular frame 203g is movably connected with an inductive switch assembly 203j, when the vacuum chuck assembly 203i does not adsorb materials, the lower end of the inductive switch assembly 203j extends downwardly out of the rectangular frame 203g, when the vacuum chuck assembly 203i adsorbs materials, the materials push the inductive switch assembly 203j to move upwardly to trigger the inductive switch assembly 203j to generate an inductive signal, and then the material shaking mechanism drives the materials to start shaking.

[0068] In an embodiment, at each material processing device, two feeding and transplanting assemblies are arranged, the two feeding and transplanting assemblies are arranged on both sides of the material conveying line 9 along the first direction, and the feeding mechanism is also provided with two. One of the two feeding and transplanting assemblies can feed one type of material through the corresponding first conveying device 3, and the other feeding and transplanting assembly can feed another type of material through the corresponding first conveying device 3. The feeding and transplanting mechanism 2 moves the material on one of the two feeding and transplanting assemblies to the material conveying line 9 according to the demand, and then moves the material on the other feeding and transplanting assembly when it is necessary to change the type of material to be processed, thereby reducing the waiting time and improving the production efficiency.

The two unloading manipulators 802 can alternately transplant the material pile, thereby improving the unloading and transplanting efficiency and further improving the production efficiency.

[0074] Of course, in actual production, a single-sided unloading manipulator 802 can also be selected for transplanting the material pile according to the needs.

[0075] It should be noted that the unloading lifting platform 7 and the connection lifting platform 1 have the same structure.

[0076] In an embodiment, the unloading manipulator 802 is a single-axis manipulator.

[0077] In other embodiments, the unloading and transplanting mechanism 8 can adopt a multi-axis manipulator, for example, a five-axis manipulator.

[0078] In an embodiment, as shown, Figure 8 The pneumatic gripper mechanism 803 includes an unloading mounting plate, a servo motor 803a, a first transmission mechanism, a bracket 803e, a pen-type cylinder 803g, and a gripper assembly 803f. The servo motor 803a and the first transmission mechanism are mounted on the unloading mounting plate. The servo motor 803a drives the bracket 803e to move vertically and reciprocally through the first transmission mechanism.

[0079] The gripper assembly 803f and the pen-type cylinder 803g are mounted on the bracket 803e. The output end of the pen-type cylinder 803g can move reciprocally in the horizontal direction to drive the gripper assembly 803f to open and retract. The gripper assembly 803f can clamp the material pile in the unloading site 6 when it retracts.

[0080] Specifically, when unloading is needed, the unloading manipulator 802 drives the pneumatic gripper mechanism 803 to move above the material conveying line 9. At the same time, the output end of the pen-type cylinder 803g extends to drive the gripper assembly 803f to open outward. Then, the servo motor 803a rotates to drive the gripper assembly 803f to descend through the first transmission mechanism. The pen-type cylinder 803g is retracted to drive the gripper assembly 803f to move inward. After clamping the material pile, the servo motor 803a reverses to drive the gripper assembly 803f to ascend. The unloading manipulator 802 drives the pneumatic gripper mechanism 803 to move above the unloading lifting platform 7. Then, it descends and places the material pile on the unloading lifting platform 7. Finally, the second conveying device 4 transports a sufficient number of material piles to the next station or the temporary storage area.

[0081] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 The pneumatic gripper mechanism 803 further comprises a rotary cylinder 803h mounted on the unloading mounting plate, the output end of the rotary cylinder 803h is connected to the support 803e, and the output end of the rotary cylinder 803h rotates by a preset angle every other time, so that the adjacent material stacks stacked on the unloading lifting platform 7 are in a cross state.

[0082] Specifically, during the process of the pen-type cylinder 803g driving the gripper assembly 803f to clamp the material stack, the rotary cylinder 803h drives the support 803e to rotate by a preset angle.

[0083] When multiple material stacks are stacked on the unloading lifting platform 7, the adjacent material stacks in a cross state facilitate the differentiation of individual material stacks, so as to facilitate the clamping of individual material stacks by the manipulator of the next station.

[0084] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the first transmission mechanism comprises a lifting guide rail 803c and a ball screw 803d, one end of the ball screw 803d is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 803a through a shaft coupling 803b, the lifting guide rail 803c is connected to the ball screw 803d, and the bottom end of the lifting guide rail 803c is connected to the support 803e. When the servo motor 803a rotates, it drives the ball screw 803d and the lifting guide rail 803c to move up and down, thereby driving the support 803e to move as a whole.

[0085] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 The material conveying line 9 comprises a belt line module 901 and multiple transfer mechanisms, the multiple transfer mechanisms are distributed along a first direction at intervals, the transfer mechanism comprises a material blocking mechanism 902 and a material jacking mechanism 903, the output end of the material blocking mechanism 902 and the output end of the material jacking mechanism 903 can both be lifted in a vertical direction.

[0086] The output end of the material blocking mechanism 902 and the output end of the material jacking mechanism 903 are used to be lifted before the material transferred from the docking lifting platform 1 is transferred to the belt line module 901, after the material transferred from the docking lifting platform 1 is transferred to the material jacking mechanism 903, the material blocking mechanism 902 is used to block and align the material and to be lowered before the material jacking mechanism 903.

[0087] Specifically, before the material is placed on the material jacking mechanism 903, the output end of the material jacking mechanism 903 and the material blocking mechanism 902 is raised, when the material is placed on the material jacking mechanism 903, the material blocking mechanism 902 blocks the material pile and makes the material right, then the material blocking mechanism 902 is lowered, and then the material jacking mechanism 903 is lowered, the belt line module 901 transports the material to the next material processing equipment, and the upper feeding transplanting mechanism 2 of the next material processing equipment places the single material on the connection lifting platform 1 on the material transported by the previous material processing equipment.

[0088] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 The material jacking mechanism 903 includes a material jacking cylinder and two jacking frames, the two jacking frames are located on both sides of the belt line module 901 along the second direction, the output end of the material jacking cylinder is connected to the bottom side of the jacking frame, the material blocking mechanism 902 includes a material blocking cylinder and two blocking plates, the output end of the material blocking cylinder is connected to the bottom side of the blocking plate, and the two blocking plates are located on both sides of the belt line module 901 along the second direction.

[0089] The blocking plate has a blocking surface perpendicular to the conveying direction of the belt line module 901, and the blocking surface blocks the movement of the material when the material is placed on the material jacking mechanism 903.

[0090] The working principle of the laminated board production line is as follows:

[0091] As Figure 1 And Figure 3As shown, after the docking lifting platform 1 descends to a certain height, the first conveying device 3 loaded with materials approaches the docking lifting platform 1 along the first direction, and after placing the materials on the loading support, the first conveying device 3 withdraws, the docking lifting platform 1 rises, and the three groups of loading robots 202 move to the corresponding docking lifting platform 1. The first cylinder 203c and / or the second cylinder 203a descends, the vacuum suction cup assembly 203i is adsorbed on the material, the material contact sensing switch assembly 203j is triggered, and the rear shaking cylinder 203h starts to shake the material to prevent adhesion. After the material is shaken, the cylinder rises, and the three groups of loading manipulators 202 begin to transfer the material to the material conveying line 9. The material lifting cylinder and the material blocking cylinder extend. Then, the first group of vacuum adsorption mechanisms 203 places the material on the material lifting mechanism 903, the material lifting cylinder descends, and the material blocking cylinder retracts, and then moves to the transfer position 5 of the second and third groups. The rhythm of placing materials is the same as that of the first group. The material blocking cylinder extends first, and the material lifting cylinder rises. After the material is placed, the two cylinders are retracted one after another. When the belt conveyor mechanism transports the stacked material pile to the unloading mechanism, the material blocking mechanism 902 extends, the material lifting mechanism 903 rises, and the unloading manipulator 802 moves the pneumatic clamping mechanism 803 to the top of the material conveying line 9, and the rear servo motor 803a drives the clamping jaw assembly 803f to descend. The gripper assembly 803f grasps the material stack. Once grasped, the servo motor 803a rises, and the unloading robot 802 moves the pneumatic gripper mechanism 803 to the unloading lifting platform 7. During this process, it is necessary to ensure that each material stack is placed at a 90° angle to the previous stack (the rotary cylinder 803h rotates 90° only every other time). Once in position, the servo motor 803a drives the gripper assembly 803f downward, and the rear pen-shaped cylinder 803g extends, placing the material stack on the unloading lifting platform 7. After the required number of materials is reached, the second conveyor device 4 moves along a predetermined trajectory to the unloading lifting platform 7. The unloading lifting platform 7 descends, placing the stacked material stack on the second conveyor device 4, which then transports it to the next workstation or temporary storage area, and the above process repeats. (Depending on current requirements, the other set of symmetrical mechanisms can be used simultaneously, or, depending on customer requirements, only one side of the same workstation can be used as a backup mechanism.)

Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
