Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated collection technology, specifically to an automated collection device for flexible material products. Background Technology

[0002] Existing rotary cutting machine devices only have the functions of producing rolled products and collecting roll materials, but lack the function of collecting sheet products. In actual production, boxes are usually used to receive the products below the machine's discharge point, and then manual labor is used for standardized sorting and packaging. This process has many drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Flexible materials such as membranes and paper may not be as stable as rigid materials when collecting and stacking due to their bendability. They are prone to irregular stacking, which may even damage the products. Irregular stacking is more likely to cause damage, especially during handling and inspection. Collisions and friction between products are more likely to damage the products and reduce the product yield.

[0004] 2. During the collection process, the existing collection device is prone to causing the release film to fall off due to the height difference between the product and the collection point. This causes the products to stick together, which prolongs the inspection time for inspectors and produces defective products, leading to increased costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automated collection device for flexible material products, which can effectively solve the problem that the flexible materials in the existing technology have the characteristics of being flexible and easily deformable, and require special attention to the handling methods during the production and collection process in order to avoid damage, delay of inspection and increased labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides an automated collection device for flexible material products, including a base, an installation platform fixedly connected to the upper center of the base, a lifting platform slidably connected to the upper end of the installation platform, a collection component provided at the upper end of the lifting platform, a gripping component provided at the upper end of the base, a central control unit fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, and a controller fixedly installed at the upper end of the central control unit.

[0008] The collection assembly includes a rotary motor fixedly mounted on the upper end of the lifting platform, a rotating seat coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor, a collection mold provided on the upper end of the rotating seat, and multiple storage slots arranged in a circular array on the upper end of the collection mold.

[0009] The gripping assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a guide rail on the mounting bracket, a slider slidably connected to the guide rail, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the slider, a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the vertical plate, a gripping disc at the lower end of the horizontal plate, and an air pump for controlling the gripping disc at the upper end of the horizontal plate.

[0010] According to the above-mentioned automated collection equipment for flexible material products, the mounting platform has an installation cavity, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed in the installation cavity. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lifting platform.

[0011] According to the above-mentioned automated collection device for flexible material products, the rotating seat has two symmetrically opened positioning holes, and the lower end of the collection mold is fixedly connected to two positioning pins passing through the positioning holes.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned automated collection equipment for flexible material products, when the collection mold is at its highest point, the distance between the gripping disc and the collection mold is 50mm.

[0013] According to the above-mentioned automated collection equipment for flexible material products, a vision sensor is fixedly installed at the lower end of the horizontal plate.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned automated collection equipment for flexible material products, an infrared sensor is installed on the upper end of the collection mold.

[0015] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0016] 1. Reduce product damage and improve product yield: The collection components of this equipment have multiple placement slots arranged in a ring at the top of the collection mold, which allows flexible material products to be placed in an orderly manner. After the collection mold has collected a certain number of products, the rotary motor drives the rotating seat and the collection mold to rotate. Using centrifugal force, the products gather and move together in one direction in the placement slots, achieving a neat arrangement. This orderly collection method greatly reduces collision and friction between products, effectively avoids product damage, and improves product yield.

[0017] 2. Prevent release film from falling off and reduce costs: The vision sensor in the gripping component identifies the product position, and the air pump controls the gripping disk to adsorb the product and move it precisely above the collection mold. After the infrared sensor on the collection mold detects the product, the gripping disk releases the product. The whole process is smooth, which greatly reduces the possibility of release film falling off, reduces product adhesion, shortens inspection time, reduces defect rate, and thus reduces production costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 3 An automated collection device for flexible material products includes a base 1, an installation platform 2 fixedly connected to the upper center of the base 1, a lifting platform 5 slidably connected to the upper end of the installation platform 2, an installation cavity 3 opened in the installation platform 2, an electric telescopic rod 4 fixedly installed in the installation cavity 3, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4 being fixedly connected to the lifting platform 5, and the electric telescopic rod 4 serving as the power source for driving the vertical displacement of the lifting platform 5.

[0026] The upper end of the lifting platform 5 is equipped with a collection component. Specifically, the collection component includes a rotary motor (not marked separately in the figure) fixedly embedded in the upper end of the lifting platform 5. The output end of the rotary motor is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating seat 6. The rotary motor is a stepper motor.

[0027] The upper end of the rotating seat 6 is provided with a collecting mold 7. The upper end of the collecting mold 7 has multiple placement slots 72 arranged in a ring. An infrared sensor (not marked separately in the figure) is installed on the upper end of the collecting mold 7. Its function is that when the product arrives at the designated position, the gripping device will receive the signal and then place the product into the placement slots 72 of the collecting mold 7. After the infrared sensor on the collecting device receives a specified number of signals, the rotating motor drives the collecting mold to make a circular motion.

[0028] Two symmetrical positioning holes 61 are opened on the rotating base 6. Two positioning pins 71 passing through the positioning holes 61 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the collecting mold 7. The positioning pins 71 and the positioning holes 61 cooperate to ensure the accuracy and stability of the collecting mold 7 installed on the rotating base 6, prevent the collecting mold 7 from shifting during rotation, and enable the collecting mold 7 to rotate with the rotating base 6.

[0029] The upper end of the base 1 is also equipped with a gripping component. Specifically, the gripping component includes a mounting bracket 8 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. The mounting bracket 8 is equipped with a guide rail 9. The guide rail 9 is slidably fitted with a slider 10. The slider 10 is fixedly connected to a vertical plate 11. The vertical plate 11 is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 12. A vision sensor (not marked separately in the figure) is fixedly installed at the lower end of the horizontal plate 12. The vision sensor can identify the position, shape and posture of the flexible material product, providing accurate data support for the gripping action.

[0030] A gripping disc 14 is provided at the lower end of the horizontal plate 12, and an air pump 13 for controlling the gripping disc 14 is provided at the upper end of the horizontal plate 12. When the collecting mold 7 is at its highest position, the distance between the gripping disc 14 and the collecting mold 7 is 50mm. This distance is carefully designed to avoid the collecting mold 14 from rising too high and causing motion interference between the gripping disc 14 and the collecting mold 7, while also ensuring that the gripping disc 14 has enough space to place the product into the storage slot 72 of the collecting mold 7, and to avoid the product being unstable due to excessive distance.

[0031] A central control panel 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, and a controller 16 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the central control panel 15. The controller 16 is the control core of the entire equipment. It can receive signals from vision sensors, infrared sensors, etc., and control the movement of the electric telescopic rod 4, rotary motor, air pump 13 and slider 10 according to the preset program to realize the automated operation of the equipment.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Before production begins, the operator sets the parameters of the equipment through the controller 16 on the central control panel 15, including the adsorption time of the gripping disc 14, the rotation step angle and speed of the collecting mold 7, and the lifting height of the electric telescopic rod 4.

[0034] During the production process, the flexible material product is output from the discharge port of the production equipment. The vision sensor in the gripping component first identifies and positions the product. Based on the information fed back by the vision sensor, the controller 16 controls the air pump 13 to start, so that the gripping disk 14 generates an adsorption force to grip the product. At the same time, the controller 16 controls the slider 10 to slide on the guide rail 9, which moves the gripping disk 14 and the product above the collection mold 7. When the product moves to a suitable position above the collection mold 7, the infrared sensor on the collection mold 7 detects the product and sends a signal to the controller 16. After receiving the signal, the controller 16 controls the air pump 13 to stop working, the gripping disk 14 releases the product, and the product falls into the storage slot 72 of the collection mold 7.

[0035] As products are continuously placed into the collection mold 7, when the infrared sensor on the collection mold 7 detects that the number of products placed has reached the preset value, the controller 16 controls the rotary motor to start. The rotary motor drives the rotating seat 6 and the collection mold 7 to start circular motion. During the rotation, due to the centrifugal force, the products in the storage trough 72 will gather and move together in one direction, thereby achieving neat arrangement and quantitative collection of products.

[0036] Once the collecting mold 7 is full of products, the operator controls the electric telescopic rod 4 via the controller 16. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4 retracts, driving the lifting platform 5 to descend, which in turn lowers the collecting mold 7. When the collecting mold 7 descends to a certain position, it is lifted upwards, and the positioning pin 71 disengages from the positioning hole 61. The operator can then remove the collecting mold 7, which is full of products, from the rotating seat 6 and replace it with an empty collecting mold 7. After the replacement is completed, the operator controls the electric telescopic rod 4 again via the controller 16. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4 extends, driving the lifting platform 5 to rise, allowing the new collecting mold 7 to be installed in place, and the product collection work continues.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
