[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the corner protector pushing device for an automatic packaging system of sheet rolls described in this application includes a frame 5, a fence 7 installed on the frame 5 for stacking corner protectors 2, a guide rail 3 located at the bottom of the fence 7, and a pushing mechanism located behind the guide rail 3.

[0030] like Figure 4-5As shown, the frame 5 includes a mounting top plate. Columns are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the mounting top plate. At the bottom of two columns located on the same side at both ends of the mounting top plate, mounting base plates for connection to the automatic plate and roll packaging system are fixedly installed. A limit switch 4 and an infrared sensor 10 are also installed on the mounting top plate of the frame 5 at positions corresponding to the corner protectors 2. The limit switch 4 and infrared sensor 10 are used to detect the position of the corner protectors 2. Specifically, the limit switch 4 provides a signal feedback when the extended corner protector 2 reaches a predetermined position, enabling the driver 9 to retract it. The infrared sensor 10 detects whether the corner protector 2 is present in the fence 7.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the fence 7 includes several sets of placement spaces for the corner protectors 2. Each placement space consists of a front upright 702, a rear upright 703, and two sets of side uprights 701. The tops of the side uprights 701, front uprights 702, and rear uprights 703 are all fixedly mounted on a top plate 1. Several mounting slots 11 are provided on one side edge of the top plate 1, and a rectangular hole 12 is provided in the middle of the top plate 1. In actual use, the rectangular hole 12 can be used for continuous placement of the corner protectors 2, or the rear uprights 703 can be removed to complete the batch placement of the corner protectors 2.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the front upright 702 is located above the guide rail 3, and the distance between the front upright 702 and the guide rail 3 is adapted to the thickness of the corner guard 2 at the corner. Specifically, the distance between the front upright 702 and the guide rail 3 is greater than the thickness of the corner guard 2 at the corner but less than twice the thickness of the corner guard 2 at the corner, thereby ensuring that only one corner guard 2 can be pushed out in a single push.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the top end of the rear upright 703 is detachably fixed to the top plate 1 via the mounting base 8, and the bottom end of the rear upright 703 is fixedly mounted on the mounting top plate through the guide rail 3.

[0034] As a preferred method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 8 has a slot that matches the rear upright 703, and the inner side wall of the slot is provided with a set screw for positioning and installing the rear upright 703.

[0035] As a preferred method, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the guide rail 3 includes a triangular guide rail 302 and a V-shaped guide rail 301. The triangular guide rail 302 and the V-shaped guide rail 301 are used for the forward and reverse placement of the corner protector 2, respectively. Thus, by placing the corner protector 2 in the forward and reverse positions, it can be directly used for corner protection installation on the plate roll without flipping it after being picked up by the robot arm, which effectively reduces subsequent operation steps and helps to improve packaging efficiency.

[0036] As a preferred method, such as Figure 9-10As shown, the pushing mechanism is used to push the corner guards 2 on the guide rail 3 out from the bottom of the fence 7. The V-shaped guide rail 301 and the triangular guide rail 302 are both fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate. One end of the V-shaped guide rail 301 and the triangular guide rail 302 is provided with an elongated hole 303 that matches the rear upright 703. The other end of the V-shaped guide rail 301 and the triangular guide rail 302 is provided with a through hole and a U-shaped groove 304 that matches the limit switch 4.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a push slider 6 and a driver 9. The driver 9 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the mounting plate. The output end of the driver 9 is connected to the push slider 6. The driver 9 is used to drive the push slider to perform reciprocating motion. The driver 9 can be a commercially available pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the push slider 6 includes a triangular push slider and a V-shaped push slider adapted to the V-shaped guide rail 301 and the triangular guide rail 302. Both the triangular push slider and the V-shaped push slider are composed of a mounting plate 601 and a slider 602. The bottom inner wall of the mounting plate 601 is connected to the output end of the driver, and the upper inner wall of the mounting plate 601 is fixedly provided with the slider 602. The slider 602 has a triangular groove structure, and the sum of the lengths of the slider 602 and a single corner protector 2 is not less than the length of the guide rail 3. An opening slot 603 adapted to the rear upright 703 is provided at the corner of the slider 602, and the installation direction of the slider 602 is adapted to the structure of the V-shaped guide rail 301 and the triangular guide rail 302.
