[0052] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The structure distribution diagram of the tobacco sheet glue processing system provided by the embodiment of the application comprises: a tobacco sheet glue processing system, comprising: a glue drying room 1000, a roadway conveyor 2000, a glue cutting machine 3000, a material taking conveyor 4000 and a grabbing mechanism 5000.

[0053] A heating space is arranged in the inside of the glue drying room 1000, and a roadway entrance 1001 and a roadway exit 1002 are arranged on the glue drying room 1000; the roadway entrance 1001 and the roadway exit 1002 are both in communication with the inside of the heating space.

[0054] The roadway conveyor 2000 is arranged through the glue drying room 1000, the roadway conveyor 2000 enters the heating space from the roadway entrance 1001 and exits the heating space from the roadway exit 1002; the roadway conveyor 2000 is used for directional conveying of tobacco sheet glue, so that the tobacco sheet glue completes drying heating in the heating space. The glue drying room 1000 is equipped with a precise temperature control system, which can flexibly and stably adjust the temperature in the heating space according to the characteristics of the tobacco sheet glue and the drying process requirements, so as to ensure that the tobacco sheet glue is evenly heated during the drying process and avoid quality problems caused by local overheating or overcooling. The roadway conveyor 2000 has stable conveying capacity and can continuously and accurately convey the tobacco sheet glue according to the preset speed and direction. During the conveying process, the tobacco sheet glue fully completes the drying heating step in the heating space, laying a good foundation for the subsequent processing process.

[0055] The taking conveyor 4000 includes a to-be-grabbed station 4001, and the taking conveyor 4000 is used for receiving the tobacco sheet rubber at the tunnel outlet 1002 and moving the tobacco sheet rubber to the to-be-grabbed station 4001.

[0056] The grabbing mechanism 5000 is used for placing the tobacco sheet rubber on the to-be-grabbed station 4001 into the rubber cutting machine 3000. The rubber cutting machine 3000 is used for cutting the tobacco sheet rubber into piece rubbers.

[0057] In some embodiments, the grabbing mechanism 5000 is equipped with a sensing device and a high-precision mechanical arm, which can quickly identify the position and posture of the tobacco sheet rubber and accurately grab and transfer the tobacco sheet rubber, effectively improving the production efficiency and accuracy.

[0058] The rubber cutting machine 3000 can quickly and stably cut the tobacco sheet rubber into piece rubbers with uniform sizes, meeting the requirements of different production links for the specifications of the piece rubbers.

[0059] The entire tobacco sheet rubber processing system realizes automatic operation, reduces the influence of human factors on the production process, improves the consistency and reliability of production, and is conducive to large-scale industrialized production. The cooperation of the rubber drying room 1000 and the tunnel conveyor 2000 realizes continuous drying and heating of the tobacco sheet rubber, greatly improving the drying efficiency. The cooperation of the taking conveyor 4000 and the grabbing mechanism 5000 ensures the accurate transfer of the tobacco sheet rubber from the rubber drying room 1000 to the rubber cutting machine 3000, reduces manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and also improves the safety and stability of the production process.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned tobacco sheet rubber processing system further includes a material frame 6000 and a material frame conveyor 6001. The material frame 6000 is used for carrying and transporting the tobacco sheet rubber, and the material frame 6000 should be designed to have a suitable size and shape to stably carry the tobacco sheet rubber and facilitate cooperation with the material frame conveyor 6001.

[0061] The material frame 6000 needs to withstand the weight of the tobacco sheet rubber and possible environmental factors such as high temperature, and the material frame 6000 can be made of materials that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion and have certain toughness, such as specific engineering plastics or metal alloys.

[0062] The material frame conveyor 6001 should be laid with tracks at a suitable position on the ground or in the workshop, so that the material frame conveyor 6001 runs along a fixed path, ensuring that the material frame 6000 can be accurately moved from the inlet end to the empty frame placement station 6002. The length and direction of the track should be reasonably planned according to the layout of the workshop and the production process, so as to minimize the occupied space and facilitate connection with other equipment.

[0063] The empty frame placing station 6002 is arranged on the frame conveyor 6001, and the frame conveyor 6001 is connected to the inlet end of the material taking conveyor 4000. The frame conveyor 6001 can move the empty frame 6000 from the material taking conveyor 4000 to the empty frame placing station 6002 through the frame conveyor 6001.

[0064] Firstly, the material taking conveyor 4000 moves the frame 6000 carrying the tobacco sheet glue to the grasping station 4001, the grasping mechanism 5000 transfers the tobacco sheet glue to the cutting machine 3000, and the remaining empty frame 6000 is received by the frame conveyor 6001, which transfers the frame 6000 to the empty frame placing station 6002. The empty frame 6000 on the empty frame placing station 6002 can wait to be recycled in the subsequent process.

[0065] The frame 6000 and the frame conveyor 6001 are arranged to collect and transport the tobacco sheet glue in time after drying and cutting, without frequent manual carrying, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the entire tobacco sheet glue processing system and improving the production efficiency. The inlet end of the frame conveyor 6001 is connected to the grasping station 4001 of the material taking conveyor 4000, and the frame 6000 can be moved directionally to the empty frame placing station 6002, which realizes the rapid transfer of the tobacco sheet glue between different devices and reduces the waiting time.

[0066] The frame 6000 and the frame conveyor 6001 realize the automatic transfer of the tobacco sheet glue, greatly reducing the workload of manual carrying, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and reducing the demand for labor and labor costs.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, a frame sensing mechanism is arranged on the roadway conveyor 2000, which is arranged near the outside of the glue drying room 1000 and near the roadway inlet 1001, and near the roadway outlet 1002 in the heating space of the glue drying room 1000. Such arrangement can respectively perform sensing detection before the frame 6000 enters the glue drying room 1000 and when it approaches the outlet in the glue drying room 1000, to ensure accurate control of the position of the frame 6000. The frame 6000 is provided with a sensing barcode, and the frame sensing mechanism outputs a control signal by detecting the sensing barcode, to control the directional transportation of the frame 6000 by the roadway conveyor 2000, to realize precise control of the transportation of the frame 6000, and ensure that the frame 6000 can move on the roadway conveyor 2000 according to the preset path. In some embodiments, the sensing barcode can be an RFID chip (radio frequency identification chip), and can be applied to other states.

[0068] In some embodiments, an RFID chip is installed on the frame 6000 for recording and identifying the information of the rubber (tobacco sheet rubber). Through the RFID chip (radio frequency identification chip), various information of the rubber, such as the type of rubber, batch, production time, etc. can be stored and quickly read, facilitating the tracking and management of the rubber during the production process.

[0069] When the rubber needs to be baked, an information call is made through the factory MES system (Manufacturing Execution System). After receiving the MES call signal, the AGV management system calls the transport vehicle 9000 under the system, which in some cases is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to perform the material taking task. After reading the rubber frame RFID information and completing the material taking task, the transport vehicle 9000 feeds back the information to the MES system, realizing an automatic process from rubber storage to taking, reducing the time and workload of manual searching and carrying.

[0070] The transport vehicle 9000 transports the frame 6000 to the entrance of the rubber baking room 1000, and the rubber baking room 1000 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor and an RFID chip reading device, i.e. a frame sensing mechanism. After the frame sensing mechanism identifies the material, it automatically opens the entrance of the rubber baking room 1000 through the control system, and at the same time, the rubber baking room 1000 starts to send the frame 6000 into the rubber baking room 1000, realizing the automatic control of the frame 6000 entering the rubber baking room 1000, improving the continuity and efficiency of production.

[0071] The rubber baking room 1000 is equipped with several rubber baking room 1000 according to the production needs, and the rubber baking room 1000 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor, which can detect and control the running state and position of the frame 6000, and can monitor the running state of the frame 6000 in the rubber baking room 1000 in real time, ensuring that the frame 6000 is in the correct position and running state during the baking process, and ensuring the baking effect.

[0072] The cooperation of the frame sensing mechanism and the sensing bar code, as well as the setting of the sensors and control system in each link, realizes the precise control and automatic operation of the frame 6000 from storage to entering the rubber baking room 1000 and then transporting in the rubber baking room 1000, reduces the manual intervention, reduces the possibility of human error, and improves the accuracy and stability of production. The automatic material taking, feeding and baking process, as well as the effective monitoring and control of the running state of the frame 6000 in the rubber baking room 1000, makes the whole tobacco sheet rubber processing process more smooth, reduces the waiting time and material carrying time, greatly improves the production efficiency, and is conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, a glue supply mechanism 7000 is also included, which includes a glue receiving station 7001 and a tray conveying station 7002.

[0074] After the frame 6000 carrying the tobacco sheet glue is heated, the tobacco sheet glue is grabbed into the glue cutting process. The empty frame 6000 is recycled and carried by the empty glue receiving tray to carry the subsequent cut glue pieces. The empty glue receiving tray is first placed on the tray conveying station 7002 by the transport vehicle 9000, and then the glue receiving tray is transferred to the glue receiving station 7001 to receive the glue pieces, and after the weighing device 7003 completes the weighing, the full glue receiving tray is sent out to the subsequent standby station by the transport vehicle 9000.

[0075] At the outlet of the glue cutting machine 3000, the position of the glue receiving station 7001 is accurately set to match the height and position of the discharge port of the glue cutting machine 3000, so that the glue pieces can smoothly fall into the glue receiving tray. An inclined discharge chute can be provided to connect the outlet of the glue cutting machine 3000 and the glue receiving tray on the glue receiving station 7001, guiding the glue pieces to accurately enter the glue receiving tray.

[0076] From the glue receiving station 7001 to the tray conveying station 7002, a suitable conveying device is also provided, such as a transport vehicle 9000, a roller conveyor, etc., to realize the movement of the frame 6000 between the two stations. According to the layout and production process of the factory, the travel path of the transport vehicle 9000 or the direction of the roller can be planned reasonably to ensure that the glue receiving tray can efficiently reach the tray conveying station 7002.

[0077] Photoelectric sensors or position sensing switches are provided at the empty frame placing station 6002, the glue receiving station 7001 and the tray conveying station 7002, respectively, for detecting the position of the glue receiving tray. When the glue receiving tray reaches the corresponding station, the sensor can timely send a signal to notify the control system to perform the next operation, such as stopping the conveying, starting the glue receiving or glue supply action, etc.

[0078] In some cases, in order to compensate for the height difference of the glue receiving tray reaching the glue receiving station 7001, a jacking transplanting machine should also be provided to adjust the lifting of the glue receiving tray. The specific setting mode of the jacking transplanting machine can refer to the existing technology, which will not be described herein.

[0079] In the control system of the glue supply mechanism 7000, a communication interface is provided with each station sensor and conveying device to realize accurate control of the movement process of the glue receiving tray. By programming, the start, stop conditions and running speed of each conveying device are set to ensure that the glue receiving tray moves between stations according to the predetermined process and rhythm.

[0080] The continuous automatic operation of the glue receiving tray from empty frame placement to glue receiving and then to glue supply is realized, so that the broken block glue can be timely received and transported after being cut, without frequent manual intervention, the flow of the entire tobacco sheet glue processing system from cutting to glue supply is ensured, the production efficiency is improved, and the production downtime is reduced.

[0081] The glue receiving station 7001 is accurately arranged corresponding to the outlet of the glue cutting machine 3000, so that the broken block glue can be accurately dropped into the glue receiving tray, the broken block glue is prevented from spilling and wasting during receiving, and the integrity and cleanliness of the broken block glue are ensured, which is beneficial to improving the quality stability of the product in the subsequent production link.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to the drawings attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 The structure of the glue drying room provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. According to the space size of the glue drying room 1000 and the requirements of the tobacco sheet glue drying process, the heating space is reasonably divided into at least two heating partitions. For example, if the glue drying room 1000 is large in space, it can be divided into at least two heating partitions according to the length direction; if the differences in temperature requirements of different batches or different types of tobacco sheet glue are considered, irregular division can also be made according to the actual situation.

[0083] At a suitable position inside each heating partition, such as near the heating source or the temperature monitoring point, a heating controller 1004 is installed. The heating controller 1004 needs to be connected to the overall temperature control system of the glue drying room 1000 for unified regulation and data transmission.

[0084] At the connection of the heating partitions, which is usually the boundary position of the partitions, a partition door 1003 is installed. The partition door 1003 should ensure good sealing and effectively block the heat transfer between different partitions, for example, a high-temperature-resistant rubber strip or sealing glue can be used for edge sealing.

[0085] The partition door 1003 is installed at the door frame position of the tunnel entrance 1001 and the tunnel exit 1002, ensuring that the partition door 1003 can completely cover the entrance and exit, playing a good isolation role. The partition door 1003 should be coordinated with the operation of the tunnel conveyor 2000, the frame conveyor 6001 and other equipment. For example, at the position where the tunnel conveyor 2000 passes through the partition door 1003, a suitable opening should be provided, and a sealing device should be installed to prevent heat leakage. At the same time, the opening and closing of the partition door 1003 should be linked with the operation signal of the conveyor to ensure smooth material transportation. After the partition door 1003 at the tunnel exit 1002 is opened, the frame conveyor 6001 quickly takes away the frame 6000, and then closes the partition door 1003. Each partition door 1003 is equipped with a corresponding and separate control opening and closing system.

[0086] Different types or batches of tobacco sheet glue may have different requirements for drying temperature. By setting multiple heating zones and equipping each with a heating controller 1004, precise temperature regulation can be achieved for different tobacco sheet glues in different areas, improving drying quality.

[0087] Each heating zone can be independently controlled to help achieve more uniform temperature distribution in smaller spatial ranges, avoiding local overheating or undercooling, and further ensuring consistency in the drying effect of tobacco sheet glue.

[0088] The partition door 1003 can effectively block heat exchange between different heating zones and between the heating space and the outside, reducing heat loss and energy consumption. In particular, by setting partition doors 1003 at the tunnel entrance 1001 and the tunnel exit 1002, heat loss can be minimized when materials are entering and leaving.

[0089] When some heating zones are not needed, the heating devices of the corresponding zones can be turned off and isolated by the partition door 1003 to prevent heat from spreading throughout the glue drying room 1000, achieving rational use of energy.

[0090] Multiple heating zones can simultaneously perform drying operations on different stages or different types of tobacco sheet glue, enabling parallel production, improving overall drying efficiency, and increasing production per unit time.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the grabbing mechanism 5000 includes a grabbing robot and an identification module arranged on the grabbing robot. According to the weight, size, and spatial arrangement requirements of the tobacco sheet glue, a suitable mechanical arm is selected. For example, for tobacco sheet glue with a larger weight, a six-axis mechanical arm with stronger load capacity can be selected; for situations requiring high-precision grabbing, a mechanical arm with higher repeat positioning accuracy can be selected. A vision sensor is installed at the front end of the mechanical arm or the top of the body of the grabbing robot, so that it can accurately identify the position and contour of the glue. A laser sensor can be installed on the side or bottom of the mechanical arm to detect the distance of the tobacco sheet glue at different angles, ensuring that comprehensive spatial information is obtained. The identification module can be combined with multiple types of sensors, such as a vision sensor (e.g., an industrial camera) for obtaining appearance image information of the tobacco sheet glue to identify its shape, position, and attitude; or a laser sensor can be equipped to accurately measure the distance and spatial position relationship between the tobacco sheet glue and the grabbing robot by emitting and receiving laser beams. A dedicated data processing unit is configured for the identification module, which can be integrated into the control system of the grabbing robot or connected as an independent module to the control system. The data processing unit is responsible for analyzing and processing the image and distance data obtained by the sensor, extracting key features and position information of the tobacco sheet glue, and generating identification information.

[0092] According to the shape and characteristics of the tobacco sheet glue, a suitable end effector is selected, such as a pneumatic clamp, an electric clamp, etc. If the surface of the tobacco sheet glue is relatively smooth, a pneumatic clamp with a thorn needle can be selected to ensure the stability of the grabbing.

[0093] The recognition module can quickly detect the position and state of the tobacco sheet glue, and the grabbing robot can quickly respond according to this information to quickly complete the grabbing action, thereby reducing the waiting and positioning time and improving the production efficiency of the entire tobacco sheet glue processing system.

[0094] The tobacco sheet glue of different shapes, sizes and placement attitudes can be adapted to, whether the tobacco sheet glue is regularly placed or randomly placed, the recognition module can accurately identify, and the grabbing robot can adjust the grabbing strategy accordingly, so that the entire system has stronger adaptability and flexibility and can meet the needs of different production scenes.

[0095] The automation of tobacco sheet glue grabbing is realized, the manual operation link is reduced, the labor cost and the labor intensity of workers are reduced, and the safety risk that may be caused by manual operation is avoided, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the production process.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the weighing device 7003 is installed below the glue receiving tray of the glue receiving station 7001 or on the structure supporting the glue receiving tray, so as to ensure that the glue receiving tray is placed at a position where the weighing device 7003 can accurately measure and does not affect the normal receiving of the broken piece glue by the glue receiving tray and the subsequent movement operation. For example, the load-bearing platform of the weighing device 7003 and the support structure of the glue receiving station 7001 can be designed integrally, so that the glue receiving tray is stably placed on the load-bearing platform for weighing.

[0097] The weighing device 7003 needs to be connected with the control system of the entire system, and data transmission can be realized in a wired or wireless manner. If wired connection is adopted, an industrial-grade data line can be used to connect the weighing device 7003 with the control center of the system; if wireless connection is adopted, a suitable wireless communication module such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ZigBee can be selected to ensure that the weighing data can be transmitted to the control system in real time, so as to integrate and process the data with other links.

[0098] The weighing device 7003 needs to work with other parts of the glue supplying mechanism 7000 and the glue cutting machine 3000. Through linkage with the control system of the glue cutting machine 3000, the weighing device 7003 can be automatically triggered to weigh after the glue cutting machine 3000 completes a cutting operation. At the same time, the weighing data is used to determine whether the glue receiving tray reaches the weight standard required by the tray conveying station 7002, so as to control the movement of the glue receiving tray.

[0099] By weighing in real time at the glue receiving station 7001, the weight of the broken block glue received by each glue receiving tray can be accurately known. This helps to accurately provide the appropriate amount of glue to the subsequent process in strict accordance with the production formula and process requirements during glue supply, avoids affecting product quality due to excessive or insufficient glue supply, and ensures the stability of product quality.

[0100] Accurate weighing data can make the production process more efficient and orderly. For example, when the weighing device 7003 detects that the glue receiving tray reaches the predetermined weight, the system can automatically control the glue receiving tray to move to the tray conveying station 7002, without the need for frequent manual inspection and judgment, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level and production efficiency of the entire glue supply process.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning conveyor 8000 is provided between the grabbing mechanism 5000 and the glue cutting machine 3000, and a limiting station 8001 is provided on the positioning conveyor 8000. A limiting mechanism 8002 and a grabbing mechanism are provided on the limiting station 8001.

[0102] The limiting station 8001 is selected and arranged on the positioning conveyor 8000 at a suitable position, which is generally arranged at one end close to the entrance of the glue cutting machine 3000, to facilitate position adjustment before the tobacco sheet glue enters the glue cutting machine 3000.

[0103] The limiting mechanism 8002 is installed on the limiting station 8001, and multiple limiting components such as limiting blocks and limiting rods can be installed on the edge or specific position of the limiting station 8001 according to needs, to limit and adjust the tobacco sheet glue from different directions. The adjustable limiting method such as spring mechanical limiting mechanism 8002 is adopted, and the spring elasticity is used to adapt to different placement angles and positions of the tobacco sheet glue, so that the tobacco sheet glue can be adjusted to the appropriate posture without blocking the tobacco sheet glue, so that it can accurately enter the glue cutting machine 3000.

[0104] A sensor such as a photoelectric sensor or a pressure sensor is installed on the conveyor belt of the positioning conveyor 8000 to sense the position and state of the tobacco sheet glue, so as to accurately control the start, stop and speed of the conveyor belt.

[0105] By setting the limiting station 8001 and the limiting mechanism 8002, the position of the tobacco sheet glue can be accurately adjusted, so that it can maintain an accurate position and posture when entering the glue cutting machine 3000, facilitating the grabbing of the grabbing mechanism, improving the accuracy and consistency of glue cutting, and ensuring that the size of the cut small glue block is more uniform and meets the quality standards. Accurate positioning and posture adjustment can avoid collision or jamming of the tobacco sheet glue with the components of the glue cutting machine 3000 when entering the glue cutting machine 3000, reduce the wear and failure rate of the equipment, and prolong the service life of the glue cutting machine 3000 and other equipment.

[0106] The positioning conveyor 8000 can quickly and stably convey the tobacco sheet glue from the grabbing mechanism 5000 to the cutting glue machine 3000, cooperate with the sensor and the grabbing mechanism 5000 to work together, realize the automation of the tobacco sheet glue conveying and feeding, reduce the manual intervention, improve the production efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the tobacco sheet glue processing system further comprises a master control mechanism electrically connected with the glue drying room 1000, the roadway conveyor 2000, the cutting glue machine 3000, the material taking conveyor 4000 and the grabbing mechanism 5000.

[0108] Connected with the glue drying room 1000: install environmental monitoring equipment such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors in the glue drying room 1000, and connect these sensors with the input port of the master control mechanism, so as to transmit the environmental data in the glue drying room 1000 to the master control mechanism in real time. At the same time, the output port of the master control mechanism is connected with the control components such as heating equipment and ventilation equipment of the glue drying room 1000, so as to realize the accurate control of the environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity of the glue drying room 1000.

[0109] Connect between the motor controller of the roadway conveyor 2000 and the master control mechanism, and the master control mechanism controls the running speed, start-stop and other operations of the roadway conveyor 2000 by sending control signals to the motor controller. In addition, position sensors are installed at key positions of the roadway conveyor 2000 to feed the position information of the tobacco sheet glue on the conveyor to the master control mechanism.

[0110] Dock the operation panel control circuit of the cutting glue machine 3000 with the master control mechanism, and the master control mechanism can send instructions to control the cutting action, cutting frequency and other parameters of the cutting glue machine 3000. At the same time, the pressure sensor, cutter state sensor and other sensors on the cutting glue machine 3000 are connected with the master control mechanism, so that the master control mechanism can know the working state of the cutting glue machine 3000 in real time.

[0111] Similar to the roadway conveyor 2000, the master control mechanism is connected with the motor control system of the material taking conveyor 4000 to control its operation, and a material detection sensor is installed on the material taking conveyor 4000 to transmit the information such as the presence or absence of the material to the master control mechanism.

[0112] The master control mechanism is communicatively connected with the controller of the grabbing mechanism 5000, can send grabbing instructions, moving instructions and the like to the grabbing mechanism 5000, and accurately control the action of the grabbing mechanism 5000. The identification module and the position feedback module on the grabbing mechanism 5000 are also connected with the master control mechanism, so that the master control mechanism can obtain the identification information of the tobacco sheet glue and the position information of the grabbing mechanism 5000.

[0113] Once the smoked sheet rubber in the drying chamber 1000 reaches the preset drying time and state, the main control mechanism controls the tunnel conveyor 2000 to transport the smoked sheet rubber to the material handling conveyor 4000. The gripping mechanism 5000 then grips the smoked sheet rubber according to the identification information and places it on the limit station 8001 of the positioning conveyor 8000. Next, the positioning conveyor 8000 transports the smoked sheet rubber to the inlet of the cutting machine 3000, where the main control mechanism controls the cutting machine 3000 to cut the smoked sheet rubber.

[0114] Throughout the process, the main control unit monitors the operating status of each device and the data fed back by the sensors in real time. If an abnormal temperature is detected in the drying chamber 1000, the main control unit will automatically adjust the power of the heating equipment; if the blade pressure of the cutting machine 3000 is insufficient, the main control unit will adjust the pressure of the hydraulic drive device.

[0115] By precisely controlling the operation of each piece of equipment, the processing of smoked sheet rubber is automated and continuous, reducing the time and steps of manual operation and greatly improving production efficiency. It can precisely control the temperature and humidity of the drying chamber (1000°C) and the cutting parameters of the cutting machine (3000°C), ensuring that the baking effect and cutting dimensions of the smoked sheet rubber meet standards, thus improving product quality stability. It also reduces direct human involvement in each stage of operation, lowering the labor intensity of workers and minimizing safety risks caused by human error.

[0116] In some embodiments of this application, the smoked sheet adhesive processing system further includes a transport device; the transport device is used to transport the material frame 6000 to the tunnel conveyor 2000, and the transport device is used to receive the smoked sheet adhesive on the pallet conveying station 7002.

[0117] If the transport equipment uses a rail-mounted trolley or similar device, a precise rail docking mechanism needs to be installed near the tunnel conveyor 2000. Ensure that the height, width, and slope of the rail match the feed end of the tunnel conveyor 2000, allowing the frame to be smoothly transferred from the transport equipment onto the tunnel conveyor 2000. A positioning sensor can be installed at the end of the rail; when the transport equipment reaches the docking position, the sensor is triggered, causing the transport equipment to stop accurately.

[0118] A pushing device, such as a pneumatic or electric push rod, is installed at the connection point between the transport equipment and the tunnel conveyor 2000. When the transport equipment stops at the docking position, the push rod activates, smoothly pushing the frame holding the smoked sheet adhesive onto the tunnel conveyor 2000. To prevent the frame from shifting during the pushing process, a guide clamp can be installed at the front end of the push rod, fitting the edge of the frame to provide alignment and guidance.

[0119] At pallet conveying station 7002, a dedicated positioning area is set up for the transport equipment. This can be achieved by installing positioning slots on the ground or by installing positioning laser sensors around pallet conveying station 7002, allowing the transport equipment to accurately stop next to the pallet conveying station 7002 for easy receipt of smoked sheet adhesive.

[0120] This system enables automated transport of frames and smoked sheet adhesive between different workstations, reducing manual handling and making the logistics of the entire smoked sheet adhesive processing system smoother and more efficient, thus improving the overall level of automation. It can quickly and accurately transport frames to the aisle conveyor 2000 and promptly receive smoked sheet adhesive from pallet conveyor station 7002, shortening the waiting time of smoked sheet adhesive between workstations, accelerating the production process, and thereby improving production efficiency.

[0121] This reduces the amount of manual labor involved in the transportation process, lowers the company's labor costs, and also reduces the workload of workers, allowing them to devote more energy to processes that require more manual operation and monitoring.

[0122] The installation of transport equipment makes the smoked sheet adhesive processing system more flexible in terms of layout and production process. The operating path and docking position of the transport equipment can be easily adjusted according to the actual conditions of the production site and the future expansion needs of production scale, so as to adapt to different production processes and equipment layout changes.

[0123] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0124] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
