[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present utility model. Obviously, the embodiments described in this utility model 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.

[0031] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Example 1: The specific structure of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-7The present invention provides a separation mechanism for rigid materials and membrane materials, comprising an adsorption platform 1 and a tray assembly 2.

[0034] The adsorption platform 1 has two separate negative pressure channels inside, and its surface is equipped with multiple vacuum suction cups 11. These vacuum suction cups 11 are divided into two groups: one group connects to the first negative pressure channel, and the other group connects to the second negative pressure channel. Multiple air connectors 3 are located on the side of the adsorption platform 1, with some connectors connecting to the first negative pressure channel and the remaining connectors connecting to the second negative pressure channel. The negative pressure adsorption force generated by the vacuum suction cups 11 achieves stable adsorption of the tray assembly, ensuring that the tray assembly is firmly seated on the adsorption platform. The adsorption platform 1 has a rectangular structure, which facilitates connection to an external vacuum source and allows for flexible connection to vacuum lines in different installation scenarios, enhancing the versatility and ease of installation of the mechanism.

[0035] The tray assembly 2 can be adsorbed by one of the sets of vacuum suction cups 11 of the adsorption platform 1 so that the tray assembly 2 is seated on the adsorption platform 1. The tray assembly 2 includes a tray body 22 and a frame cover 21.

[0036] The upper side of the tray body 22 is formed as a groove surface, and the outer edge of the groove surface forms a closed structural surface. At least one boss is distributed in the area enclosed by the groove surface. The upper surface of the boss is provided with multiple continuously distributed strip grooves 221. The groove constructed around the boss is provided with multiple air holes that lead to the bottom surface of the tray body 22. The multiple air holes are connected to another set of vacuum suction cups 11. The strip grooves 221 are corrugated structure grooves.

[0037] As can be seen from the structure of the separation mechanism above, one of the two negative pressure channels adsorbs the tray assembly 2, and the other negative pressure channel adsorbs the membrane material through the pores.

[0038] The frame cover 21 is attached to and defined by the structural surface. The tray body 22 is provided with a limiting structure to prevent the frame cover 21 from shifting. The limiting structure consists of limiting blocks 23 installed on the side of the tray body 22. There are four limiting blocks 23, which are located on both sides of the long side of the tray body 22.

[0039] The above-mentioned strip groove 221 can effectively increase the contact area between the membrane material and the tray body, improve the stability of vacuum adsorption, and at the same time, help guide the separation direction of the membrane material during the separation process between the membrane material and the rigid material, so as to achieve a more efficient separation effect.

[0040] The connection between the frame cover 21 and the structural surface is a magnetic connection. The structural surface has grooves, and each groove is embedded with a magnet 24, allowing the frame cover 21 to be magnetically attracted by the magnets 24. This magnetic connection method facilitates the installation and removal of the frame cover and ensures a stable connection of the frame cover during the operation of the mechanism, preventing it from accidentally falling off.

[0041] The principle of separating rigid and membrane materials: In actual operation, the membrane material is vacuum-adsorbed onto the groove surface and strip grooves of the tray body. Utilizing the vacuum adsorption force and the special structure of the strip grooves, the membrane material is tightly adsorbed onto the tray body. When it is necessary to separate the rigid and membrane materials, since the rigid material is not adsorbed in the strip groove area (or the adsorption force is weak), an external mechanical device (such as a picking robot) can grasp the rigid material, thereby achieving the separation of the rigid and membrane materials and realizing the purpose of feeding and picking.

[0042] In summary, this invention's separation mechanism can efficiently separate rigid and membrane materials. The unique tray structure design, particularly the application of corrugated strip grooves, significantly improves the separation efficiency between membrane and rigid materials. By optimizing the membrane's adsorption method and separation guidance, it reduces jamming and errors during the separation process, enabling rapid and accurate separation. This separation mechanism is widely applicable to different membrane sizes: it can accommodate membranes of various materials, sizes, and shapes to support rigid materials. Whether it's thin, easily wrinkled membranes or irregularly shaped rigid materials, it achieves excellent separation and feeding results. It is particularly suitable for feeding small-sized materials, broadening the mechanism's application range.

[0043] This utility model's separation mechanism improves production efficiency: it efficiently separates rigid and membrane materials, shortens feeding time, and increases the feeding cycle of the membrane material supporting the incoming rigid material. Simultaneously, it reduces product damage or defects caused by improper feeding, improving product yield and overall production efficiency. The separation mechanism has a simple structure: the overall design is concise, each component has a clearly defined function, and it is easy to manufacture, install, and maintain. Compared to complex traditional feeding mechanisms, it reduces production costs and maintenance difficulty, offering high cost-effectiveness.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
