[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, an automatic front cover tearing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1. The outer side of the frame 1 is fixedly covered with a protective shell 2. The lower side of the inner side of the frame 1 is respectively provided with a material tray feeding mechanism 3 and a material tray discharge mechanism 4. The material tray transfer mechanism 7 and a blocking mechanism 8 are provided above the material tray feeding mechanism 3 and the material tray discharge mechanism 4. During operation, the material trays with front covers are stacked in the material tray feeding mechanism 3, while the empty material trays after use are stacked in the material tray discharge mechanism 4 for easy subsequent recycling.
[0034] A material picking mechanism 6 is provided on the upper side of the frame 1 near the material feeding mechanism 3. A release film storage bin 11 is fixedly provided on the side away from the material feeding mechanism 3. A film clamping mechanism 12 is provided inside the release film storage bin 11. The film clamping mechanism 12 is used to clamp the release film on the front cover. A three-axis moving mechanism 9 is provided above the film clamping mechanism 12. A material picking mechanism 10 is installed on the lower side of the three-axis moving mechanism 9. The material picking mechanism 10 is used to clamp the front cover. The material picking mechanism 6 picks up the material tray and places it on the material tray transfer mechanism 7. The three-axis moving mechanism 9 drives the material picking mechanism 10 to move above the front cover for clamping. After clamping, the front cover is moved to the film clamping mechanism 12. The film clamping mechanism 12 clamps the release film. The material picking mechanism 10 drives the front cover to move upward, thereby tearing off the release film on the front cover. After the release film is torn off, it falls into the release film storage bin 11 for collection.
[0035] In this embodiment, a discharge conveyor belt 5 extending out of the protective shell 2 is provided on the upper side of the frame 1 near the film clamping mechanism 12. After the film is torn off, the front cover is placed on the discharge conveyor belt 5 for discharge.
[0036] Implementation 2
[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the material tray feeding mechanism 3 and the material tray discharging mechanism 4 have the same structure, both including a conveyor belt 31. The outer end of the conveyor belt 31 extends out of the frame 1, and the inner end is fixed with a lifting mechanism 32. The lifting mechanism 32 is connected to a bracket 33. Stacked material trays are placed on the conveyor belt 31, and the conveyor belt 31 drives the material trays into the frame 1. During operation, the bracket 33 of the material tray feeding mechanism 3 is in a low position, while the bracket 33 of the material tray discharging mechanism 4 is in a high position. As the material tray decreases... As the lifting mechanism 32 drives the bracket 33 to rise, the uppermost material tray at the feeding station is always at a height that the material picking mechanism 6 can easily pick up. The empty material trays are recycled on the bracket 33 of the material tray discharge mechanism 4. As the empty material trays are stacked, the lifting mechanism 32 drives the bracket 33 to move down accordingly, without interfering with the continuous placement of subsequent empty material trays. When the trays are full, the stacked empty material trays are placed on the conveyor belt 31 for discharge, thereby realizing automated material tray feeding and empty material tray recycling.
[0038] The lifting mechanism 32 can adopt a structure of screw and motor drive to achieve stable and stepless lifting function.
[0039] In this embodiment, the material picking mechanism 6 includes an electric cylinder 61 fixed to the frame 1. A lifting plate 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the electric cylinder 61. Multiple suction cups 63 are arranged in an array on the lower end face of the lifting plate 62. The electric cylinder 61 drives the lifting plate 62 to rise and fall, so that the suction cups 63 pick up the material picking mechanism.
[0040] The material tray transfer mechanism 7 includes a transfer linear module 71. The slide of the transfer linear module 71 is fixedly connected to a tray 72. The transfer linear module 71 can drive the tray 72 to transfer above the material tray feeding mechanism 3 and the material tray discharge mechanism 4. After the material tray picking mechanism 6 picks up the material tray, the transfer linear module 71 drives the tray 72 to move below the material tray picking mechanism 6. The material tray picking mechanism 6 places the material tray on the tray 72. Then the tray 72 is reset. After the subsequent material picking mechanism 10 picks up the front cover, the tray 72 moves below the material tray picking mechanism 6 again after all the material is picked up. The empty material tray it carries will be pushed into the material tray discharge mechanism 4 by the blocking mechanism 8 during the movement.
[0041] Specifically, the blocking mechanism 8 includes a blocking cylinder 81 fixed at the middle of the upper part of the material tray feeding mechanism 3 and the material tray discharge mechanism 4. A stop bar 82 is fixed at the upper end of the blocking cylinder 81. The stop bar 82 is L-shaped. The blocking cylinder 81 can drive the stop bar 82 to move up and down. Before the pallet 72 carrying the empty material tray moves to the material tray picking mechanism 6, the blocking cylinder 81 drives the stop bar 82 to fall down. After the stop bar 82 falls down, the height of its lower surface is slightly higher than the height of the bearing plane of the pallet 72, leaving a gap of 3 to 5 mm. This does not interfere with the passage of the pallet 72, but can block the empty material tray on the pallet 72. The pallet 72 continues to move, but the pallet 72 is blocked and thus pushed into the material tray discharge mechanism 4 below it to be stacked, thereby realizing the automated recycling of the empty material tray. After the new material tray is placed on the pallet 72, the blocking cylinder 81 drives the stop bar 82 to rise, so as not to affect the material tray feeding.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] Please see Figures 7 to 8As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the three-axis moving mechanism 9 includes a longitudinal moving module 91, a transverse moving module 92 fixed to the outer end of the slide of the longitudinal moving module 91, and a vertical moving module 93 fixed to the outer end of the slide of the transverse moving module 92. The material picking mechanism 10 includes a rotating seat assembly 101 fixed to the vertical moving module 93. A suction cup assembly 103 is fixed at the lower center of the rotating seat assembly 101. Pneumatic grippers 102 are connected to both sides of the lower part of the rotating seat assembly 101. Through the setting of the three-axis moving mechanism 9, the material picking mechanism 10 can flexibly adjust its position to facilitate the gripping of the front cover at different positions. During gripping, the suction cup assembly 103 first picks up the material tray. During the upward process of picking up, the pneumatic grippers 102 on both sides close to clamp and fix the two sides of the material tray, thereby ensuring the stability of the gripping and preventing the front cover from falling off when it is subsequently loaded into the film-clamping mechanism 12 for film tearing.
[0044] The film clamping mechanism 12 includes an mounting plate 121 fixed inside the release film storage compartment 11. The mounting plate 121 is L-shaped and has film clamping cylinders 122 fixedly connected to both sides. A film clamping plate 123 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the film clamping cylinders 122. The two sets of film clamping cylinders 122 and film clamping plates 123 are arranged at 90 degrees, clamping and fixing the release film inside the front cover by diagonal clamping. Two clamping protrusions are provided at the outer corner of the film clamping plate 123, and two clamping protrusions are provided on the outer side of the film clamping cylinders 122 corresponding to the lower side of the two clamping protrusions. When clamped, the clamping cylinder 122 drives the clamping plate 123 to rise, and the material taking mechanism 10 drives the front cover to move downward, so that the release film is placed between the clamping plate 123 and the pressure-bearing protrusion on the outside of the clamping cylinder 122. Then the clamping plate 123 descends, clamping the release film between the pressure-bearing protrusion and the clamping protrusion. Then the material taking mechanism 10 rises, thereby tearing off the release film. The torn release film will fall into the release film storage compartment 11. A drawer can be set inside the release film storage compartment 11 to facilitate the subsequent recycling and collection of the release film.
[0045] As one embodiment of this invention, antistatic ionizing air bars can be installed on both sides above the release film storage compartment 11 to prevent static electricity from affecting the film removal process.
[0046] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
