[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The present application provides a kind of material taking device, it includes rack (not shown in drawing), conveying belt 1, material storage table 2, take-off piece 3 and take-off drive assembly 4.Conveying belt 1 is connected with rack, conveying belt 1 is used to convey workpiece 100;Material storage table 2 is connected with rack, material storage table 2 is located above conveying belt 1;Along the conveying direction of conveying belt 1, take-off piece 3 is located in the upstream of material storage table 2, and in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, take-off piece 3 is located on the side of conveying belt 1;Take-off drive assembly 4 is connected with rack, take-off piece 3 is connected to take-off drive assembly 4;Wherein, take-off drive assembly 4 is used to drive take-off piece 3 to rotate between first position and second position, take-off piece 3 is located below the conveying surface of conveying belt 1 when being in first position, and take-off piece 3 partially protrudes from the conveying surface when being in second position, to partially lift workpiece 100, and conveying belt 1 conveys workpiece 100 to material storage table 2.Thereby, when needing to take out workpiece 100, by controlling take-off drive assembly 4 to drive take-off piece 3 to rotate from first position to second position, workpiece 100 can be partially lifted, at this time workpiece 100 is in inclined state, and other parts of workpiece 100 still contact with conveying belt 1, so as to continue conveying workpiece 100 to the inclined upper, and workpiece 100 is sent to material storage table 2 under the action of inertia.Accordingly, by the material taking device provided by the present application, worker does not need to manually take down workpiece 100 on conveying belt 1 when taking out workpiece 100, and does not need to take down workpiece 100 after stopping machine, taking out workpiece 100 is safer and more reliable, and will not affect production efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, when the material taking device is used to convey tinned steel plate, the tinned steel plate after offset printing is conveyed from offset printing equipment to the conveying belt 1 of the material taking device.Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 If not needing to take out, take-off piece 3 is in first position, then tinned steel plate can be conveyed on conveying belt 1 to UV light curing equipment, at this time take-off piece 3 is located below the conveying surface of conveying belt 1, and will not affect normal conveying of tinned steel plate on conveying belt 1.Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 If needing to take out, control take-off drive assembly 4 to drive take-off piece 3 to rotate from first position to second position, at this time take-off piece 3 is inclined, to partially lift tinned steel plate.Referring to Figure 2At this time, the tin-plated steel sheet is also in an inclined state, and other parts close to the tin-plated steel sheet are still in contact with the conveying belt 1, so that the tin-plated steel sheet continues to be conveyed forward, and since the conveying speed of the conveying belt 1 is extremely fast, the tin-plated steel sheet can finally fall on the storage table 2 under the action of inertia. After the sampling and taking of the workpiece are completed, the take-off driving assembly drives the take-off piece 3 to rotate from the second position back to the first position.

[0029] Referring to Figure 6 The take-off driving assembly 4 comprises a cylinder 41 connected to the rack, a first connecting piece 42 connected to the output end of the cylinder 41, a second connecting piece 43 rotationally connected to one end of the first connecting piece 42 away from the cylinder 41, and a rotating piece 44 connected with the second connecting piece 43, and the rotating piece 44 is connected with the take-off piece 3. Thus, when the workpiece needs to be sampled, the take-off driving assembly 4 drives the take-off piece 3 to act, at this time the output end of the cylinder 41 extends and pushes the first connecting piece 42 to move, then the second connecting piece 43 rotationally connected with the first connecting piece 42 rotates, the rotating second connecting piece 43 can drive the rotating piece 44 to rotate synchronously with the take-off piece 3, and the take-off piece 3 rotates to a preset angle and reaches the second position. When the output end of the cylinder 41 is retracted, the first connecting piece 42, the second connecting piece 43 and the rotating piece 44 perform reverse action, and the take-off piece 3 returns from the second position to the first position. Specifically, the rack is provided with a taking button, and the taking device further comprises a controller electrically connected with the taking button and the cylinder 41. When the worker presses the taking button, the controller receives the taking signal, and the controller controls the output end of the cylinder 41 to perform extension and retraction movement. Wherein, according to the conveying speed, the cylinder 41 can complete one extension and retraction movement within 1 second or less, that is, the take-off piece 3 can complete the movement from the first position to the second position and then switch back to the first position.

[0030] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the take-off piece 3 comprises a straight rod 31 and an arc-shaped rod 32, the straight rod 31 is connected with the rotating piece 44, and the arc-shaped rod 32 is connected to one end of the straight rod 31 away from the rotating piece 44; the arc-shaped rod 32 is used to lift the workpiece 100, and the surface of the arc-shaped rod 32 has an arc structure. Thus, the surface of the arc structure is smoother, which can avoid the arc-shaped rod 32 from damaging the surface of the workpiece 100. Specifically, the straight rod 31 can be integrally formed with the arc-shaped rod 32, which has a more solid structure. In some examples, the straight rod 31 can be sleeved with the straight rod 31 and the rotating piece 44 through a connecting block, and then fixed by bolts. In some examples, the straight rod 31 can be welded on the rotating piece 44. In some examples, the rotating piece 44 can have a round rod structure, and bearings can be installed at both ends of the rotating piece 44, and the bearings are installed on the rack through bearing sleeves.

[0031] In some embodiments, multiple conveyor belts 1 and multiple lifting members 3 are provided; the multiple conveyor belts 1 are parallel to each other, with a gap between adjacent conveyor belts 1, and the lifting members 3 are disposed between adjacent conveyor belts 1. Therefore, the material handling device can have a larger conveying area, enabling it to convey workpieces 100 with a larger area. Furthermore, since lifting members 3 are provided between adjacent conveyor belts 1, the workpieces 100 can be evenly lifted, facilitating better sampling and material handling. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the material handling device may have three conveyor belts 1 and six springs 3, and two springs 3 may be provided between two adjacent conveyor belts 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the storage platform 2 has a storage surface 21 for storing workpieces 100, and the storage surface 21 is inclined relative to the conveyor surface. Specifically, the conveyor surface as defined in this application refers to the surface of the conveyor belt 1 used to carry and convey workpieces 100. Since the storage platform 2 is located above the conveyor belt 1, and the lifting member 3 lifts the workpiece 100 and is in an inclined state, in this embodiment, the inclination of the storage surface 21 relative to the conveyor surface can better support the workpiece 100. Conversely, if the storage surface 21 is parallel to the horizontal plane, when the inclined workpiece 100 falls onto the storage surface 21, there will be a height difference, which may easily damage the workpiece 100.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 In some implementations, the storage surface 21 is tilted upwards and away from the jumping member 3. In one example, the tilt angle of the storage surface 21 can be between 5 degrees and 30 degrees.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the material handling device includes a drive roller 5 connected to the frame; when the lifting member 3 is in the second position, the drive roller 5 is located between the lifting member 3 and the storage platform 2. Thus, when the lifting member 3 lifts the workpiece 100, the conveyor belt 1 transports the workpiece 100 towards the storage platform 2. Since the drive roller 5 is located between the lifting member 3 and the storage platform 2, the workpiece 100 will first contact the drive roller 5, and the drive roller 5 can roll to assist in transporting the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 finally reaches the storage platform 2.

[0035] In some embodiments, the material taking device further comprises a material conveying driving assembly connected with the transmission roller 5, and the material conveying driving assembly is configured to drive the transmission roller 5 to rotate. Specifically, the material conveying driving assembly can be a motor 71, and the end of the transmission roller 5 is connected with the output shaft of the motor 71. Thus, the transmission roller 5 can also serve as a driving part to drive the workpiece 100 to move forward. When the workpiece 100 needs to be sampled, the workpiece 100 can be driven to move forward not only by the conveying belt 1 but also by the transmission roller 5, so that the workpiece 100 can be further driven to move forward, and the conveying effect is better.

[0036] In some examples, the two ends of the transmission roller 5 can be provided with bearings, and the bearings are installed on the rack through bearing sleeves.

[0037] With reference to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some examples, the material conveying driving assembly is also a driving part to drive the conveying belt 1 to rotate, and the material conveying driving assembly can be the motor 71. The motor 71 is connected with the driving wheel of the conveying belt 1, so that the driving wheel is driven to drive the conveying belt 1 to rotate. In this way, the conveying driving assembly can drive the belt and the transmission roller to rotate at the same time, which saves additional power components and complex mechanical structures, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0038] In some embodiments, the transmission roller 5 is provided with a flexible piece 6, the flexible piece 6 is sleeved on the transmission roller 5, and the flexible piece 6 is configured to contact the workpiece 100. Thus, the flexible piece 6 can effectively absorb and relieve the impact force of the workpiece 100 during the conveying process, and reduce the damage that the surface of the workpiece 100 may suffer. In addition, the use of the flexible piece 6 can also improve the friction between the transmission roller 5 and the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 can be kept stable during the conveying process and is not easy to slide or deviate.

[0039] In some embodiments, the flexible piece 6 is made of rubber material or silica gel material.
