[0002] In traditional aluminum plate printing production lines, after aluminum plates are processed, they are manually unloaded. Specifically, the processed aluminum plates are manually moved to designated areas for stacking. This stacking method is not only inefficient. To solve the above problems, current aluminum plate printing production lines use robotic arms with angled clamps to unload and stack the processed aluminum plates, significantly improving efficiency. However, in existing aluminum plate printing production lines, the robotic arms cannot align the aluminum plates during stacking, resulting in low neatness after stacking, requiring further sorting for subsequent packaging.

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an aluminum plate cutting device to improve the neatness of aluminum plate stacking.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The image recognition component is disposed at the loading end of the conveying mechanism;
[0007] In the vertical direction, the blocking mechanism is telescopically disposed between the conveying mechanism and the image recognition component, so that the image recognition component is disposed opposite to the blocking mechanism or opposite to the conveying mechanism;
[0008] In a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the transport mechanism is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism so that the transport mechanism can correct the deviation of the aluminum plate located on the conveying mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, in the vertical direction, the movable ends of the first shielding component and the second shielding component are flush, and there is a conveying channel between the movable end of the first shielding component and the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism for the aluminum plate to pass through.
[0013] Furthermore, the image recognition component includes a first camera and a second camera;
[0014] When the movable ends of the first and second blocking components approach each other, the first camera is positioned opposite the movable end of the first blocking component, and the second camera is positioned opposite the movable end of the second blocking component.
[0015] Furthermore, the first blocking component includes a first linear drive and a first blocking component;
[0016] The first linear drive component is connected to the first blocking component via a transmission connection.
[0017] Furthermore, the image recognition component also includes a support;

[0038] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-3An aluminum plate unloading device includes a handling mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2, an image recognition component 3, and a blocking mechanism 4. The image recognition component 3 is disposed at the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2. In the vertical direction, the blocking mechanism 4 is telescopically disposed between the conveying mechanism 2 and the image recognition component 3, so that the image recognition component 3 is disposed opposite to the blocking mechanism 4 or opposite to the conveying mechanism 2. In a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the handling mechanism 1 is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism 2, so that the handling mechanism 1 corrects the aluminum plate 5 located on the conveying mechanism 2.
[0040] Understandably, by setting up the image recognition component 3 to acquire the position information of the aluminum plate 5 on the conveying mechanism 2, when there is a deviation between the actual position of the aluminum plate 5 and the preset position, the conveying mechanism 1 can be controlled to correct the deviation of the aluminum plate 5 and make the aluminum plate 5 pass through the image recognition component 3 again under the movement of the conveying mechanism 1, so that the position of the aluminum plate 5 can be detected again. During the correction process of the previous aluminum plate 5, the blocking mechanism 4 will extend to block the image recognition component 3, so as to prevent the image recognition component 3 from acquiring incorrect aluminum plate 5 information and improve the accuracy of image recognition.
[0041] In some embodiments, the blocking mechanism 4 includes a first blocking component 41 and a second blocking component 42; the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are respectively disposed on both sides of the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction; the movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 can move closer to each other or further away from each other. During the repositioning process after the aluminum plate 5 is corrected, since other aluminum plates 5 are still being conveyed, in order to prevent the image recognition component 3 from mistakenly classifying the information of two aluminum plates 5 as the same aluminum plate 5, the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are set to block the image recognition area of the image recognition component 3 in a timely manner, so as to prevent the images of two adjacent aluminum plates 5 from being acquired at the same time and mistakenly identified as the same aluminum plate 5, thus causing the recognition result to be incorrect. Preferably, when the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are fully extended, the movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 can press against each other, so as to completely block the image recognition area of the image recognition component 3 during the process of correcting the aluminum plate 5 and moving the aluminum plate with the conveying mechanism 1, thereby improving image recognition accuracy. Specifically, the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are respectively mounted on corresponding support frames.
[0042] In some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are flush, and a conveying channel for the aluminum plate 5 to pass through is provided between the movable end of the first blocking component 41 and the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 2. The conveying channel is provided to avoid interference between the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 and the conveying of the aluminum plate 5.
[0043] In some embodiments, the image recognition component 3 includes a first camera 31 and a second camera 32. When the movable ends of the first occlusion component 41 and the second occlusion component 42 approach each other, the first camera 31 is positioned opposite to the movable end of the first occlusion component 41, and the second camera 32 is positioned opposite to the movable end of the second occlusion component 42. The arrangement of the first camera 31 and the second camera 32 is used to acquire images of the two edges of the aluminum plate 5 respectively, thereby expanding the image recognition range and improving the image recognition accuracy.
[0044] In some embodiments, the first blocking component 41 includes a first linear drive 411 and a first blocking component 412; the first linear drive 411 and the first blocking component 412 are connected in a transmission manner. Specifically, the first blocking component 412 is slidably connected to a corresponding support frame, while the fixed end of the first linear drive 411 is fixedly connected to the support frame. The first linear drive 411 is used to control the first blocking component 412 to perform linear movement, so that the first blocking component 412 moves into or out of the image recognition area of the image recognition component 3.
[0045] In some embodiments, the image recognition component 3 further includes a bracket 33; the bracket 33 is mounted across the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2 and is used to provide assembly conditions for the first camera 31 and the second camera 32.
[0046] In some embodiments, the image recognition component 3 further includes an illumination component 34; the illumination component 34 is connected to the bracket 33, and the illumination end of the illumination component 34 is positioned facing the conveying mechanism 2. The illumination component 34 is configured to improve the image clarity acquired by the camera and provide accuracy of the detection results. Optionally, one or more illumination components 34 may be provided; preferably, two are provided.
[0047] In some embodiments, the illumination surface of the illumination component 34 is inclined relative to the conveying mechanism 2. Optionally, the illumination surface of the illumination component 34 may also be parallel to the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 2.
[0048] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying component 11 and a translation component 12; the direction of movement of the translation component 12 is parallel to the conveying direction; the movable ends of the conveying component 11 and the translation component 12 are connected by a transmission mechanism; in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the fixed end of the translation component 12 is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism 2. The conveying component 11 is configured to correct the deviation of the aluminum plate 5, and the translation component 12 is configured to change the position of the conveying component 11 so that the aluminum plate 5, which was misaligned and corrected, is reset and the position is detected again. Preferably, the translation component 12 is a slide table.
[0049] In some embodiments, the handling assembly 11 includes a robotic arm 111 and an adsorption gripper 112; the fixed end of the robotic arm 111 is connected to the movable end of the translation assembly 12, and the adsorption gripper 112 is detachably connected to the movable end of the robotic arm 111. The aluminum plate 5 is adsorbed by the adsorption gripper 112, and the aluminum plate 5 is corrected and handled by the robotic arm 111 to perform secondary inspection of the aluminum plate 5.
[0050] Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:
[0051] An aluminum plate unloading device includes a handling mechanism 1, a conveying mechanism 2, an image recognition component 3, and a blocking mechanism 4. The image recognition component 3 is disposed at the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2. In the vertical direction, the blocking mechanism 4 is telescopically disposed between the conveying mechanism 2 and the image recognition component 3, so that the image recognition component 3 is disposed opposite to the blocking mechanism 4 or opposite to the conveying mechanism 2. In a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the handling mechanism 1 is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism 2, so that the handling mechanism 1 corrects the aluminum plate 5 located on the conveying mechanism 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism 4 includes a first blocking component 41 and a second blocking component 42. The first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are respectively disposed on both sides of the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2 in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. The movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 can move closer to or further away from each other. Preferably, when the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 are fully extended, the movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 can press against each other. Specifically, the coordination logic of the aluminum plate cutting equipment is as follows: When the first aluminum plate 5 passes through the image recognition component 3, the image recognition component 3 acquires the data of the tail end of the first aluminum plate 5 and determines whether the first aluminum plate 5 is offset. If offset occurs, the offset amount is sent to the conveying mechanism 1, which adjusts the offset of the first aluminum plate 5 and sends it back to the front of the image recognition component 3 so that the image recognition component 3 can acquire the image data of the first aluminum plate 5 again. At the same time, as the conveying mechanism 2 continuously conveys aluminum plates, the second aluminum plate 5 will enter the image recognition component 3. During this process, the first aluminum plate 5 and the second aluminum plate 5 will have an overlapping area in the height direction. Therefore, during the resetting process of the first aluminum plate 5, the blocking mechanism 4 extends to block the second aluminum plate 5 in this area, preventing the height difference between the first aluminum plate 5 and the second aluminum plate 5 from being recognized by the image recognition component 3. That is, the image recognition component 3 can only recognize the image of the first aluminum plate 5. When the first aluminum plate 5 passes through the image recognition component 3 again under the drive of the conveying mechanism 1, the blocking mechanism 4 opens. It is worth noting that the speed at which the conveying mechanism 1 carries the first aluminum plate 5 through the image recognition component 3 again should be greater than the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism 2, so that after the first aluminum plate 5 passes through the image recognition component 3 again and the blocking mechanism 4 retracts, the image recognition component 3 can still obtain the position information of the second aluminum plate 5.
[0053] In this embodiment, in the vertical direction, the movable end of the first blocking component 41 and the movable end of the second blocking component 42 are flush, and there is a conveying channel between the movable end of the first blocking component 41 and the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 2 for the aluminum plate 5 to pass through.
[0054] In this embodiment, the image recognition component 3 includes a first camera 31, a second camera 32, a bracket 33, and an illumination component 34. When the movable ends of the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 approach each other, the first camera 31 is positioned opposite to the movable end of the first blocking component 41, and the second camera 32 is positioned opposite to the movable end of the second blocking component 42. The bracket 33 spans the loading end of the conveying mechanism 2. The first camera 31, the second camera 32, and the illumination component 34 are connected to the bracket 33, and the illumination end of the illumination component 34 faces the conveying mechanism 2. The illumination surface of one illumination component 34 is inclined relative to the conveying mechanism 2, and the illumination surface of the other illumination component 34 is parallel to the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 2.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first blocking assembly 41 includes a first linear drive member 411 and a first blocking member 412; the first linear drive member 411 and the first blocking member 412 are connected in a transmission manner. Specifically, the first blocking member 412 is slidably connected to a corresponding support frame, while the fixed end of the first linear drive member 411 is fixedly connected to the support frame. Furthermore, the structure of the second blocking assembly 42 is the same as that of the first blocking assembly 41.
[0056] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying component 11 and a translation component 12; the direction of movement of the translation component 12 is parallel to the conveying direction; the moving ends of the conveying component 11 and the translation component 12 are connected by a transmission mechanism; in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the fixed end of the translation component 12 is disposed on one side of the conveying mechanism 2. Preferably, the translation component 12 is a slide table.
[0057] In this embodiment, the handling component 11 includes a robotic arm 111 and an adsorption clamp 112; the fixed end of the robotic arm 111 is connected to the movable end of the translation component 12 via a transmission connection, and the adsorption clamp 112 is detachably connected to the movable end of the robotic arm 111.
[0058] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0059] Driven by the conveying mechanism 2, the aluminum plate 5 passes through the image recognition component 3, and the image recognition component 3 acquires the position information of the aluminum plate 5.
[0060] If the position information of aluminum plate 5 does not match the preset position, it is determined that the position of aluminum plate 5 is offset. The conveying component 11 clamps aluminum plate 5, adjusts it according to the deviation between the actual position information of aluminum plate 5 and the preset position, and the conveying mechanism 1 drives aluminum plate 5 to reset, so that aluminum plate 5 passes through image recognition component 3 again.
[0061] During the correction process of aluminum plate 5, the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 extend until the aluminum plate 5 being corrected passes through the image recognition component 3 again under the drive of the conveying mechanism 1. The image recognition component 3 obtains the position information of the aluminum plate 5 being corrected again. Then the first blocking component 41 and the second blocking component 42 retract, and the image recognition component 3 obtains the position information of the next aluminum plate 5 located on the conveying mechanism 2.
[0062] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
