[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment discloses an adhesive sorting device, which includes a hot melt adhesive machine 2 and a detection device. The discharge end of the hot melt adhesive machine 2 is provided with a receiving and conveying unit 6. A transfer component 5 is arranged between the hot melt adhesive machine 2 and the receiving and conveying unit 6. The transfer component 5 is used for transferring the materials between the hot melt adhesive machine 2 and the receiving and conveying unit 6. The detection device is used to identify the heated materials to assist in production. The detection device includes a suspension bridge 100, a line laser positioning device 1, and a vision inspection system 4. The suspension bridge 100 is fixed above the hot melt adhesive machine 2 and arranged along the arrangement of the hot melt adhesive machine 2 and the receiving and conveying unit 6. The line laser positioning device 1 and the vision inspection system 4 are fixed on the suspension bridge 100. The line laser positioning device 1 is arranged corresponding to the feeding end of the hot melt adhesive machine 2, and the vision inspection system 4 is arranged corresponding to the discharge end of the hot melt adhesive machine 2. A sensor component 3 is fixed at the upper end of the discharge end of the hot melt adhesive machine 2, and an encoder component 7 is fixed at the lower end. The encoder component 7 and the vision inspection system 4 are connected by signals.

[0035] In operation, the line laser positioning device 1 projects a positioning line onto the conveyor line of the feeding area of ​​the hot melt bonding machine 2. Workers feed fabric along the positioning line, and the fabric passes through the hot melt bonding machine 2 for bonding. After bonding, the fabric reaches the unloading conveyor line 13 of the hot melt bonding machine 2. A sensor assembly 3 is installed on the unloading conveyor line 13 of the hot melt bonding machine 2. After the fabric is heated, it is conveyed to the position of the sensor assembly 3. The sensor assembly 3 detects the incoming material, and when the fabric passes completely through the sensor, the encoder assembly 7 is activated to count. The encoder 28 transmits the position of the fabric to the vision inspection system 4. When the fabric completely enters the vision inspection range, the industrial camera takes a picture of the fabric. After taking the picture, the transfer assembly 5 removes the fabric from the conveyor belt and places it at a designated position on the receiving conveyor unit 6 for stacking. After stacking is complete, the operator stops feeding. The conveyor line of the receiving conveyor unit 6 conveys the fabric to the receiving port. The worker removes the stacked fabric. The operator presses a button on the electrical cabinet 10, and the equipment continues to operate.

[0036] As attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the hot melt adhesive machine 2 has a feeding conveyor line 12 on one side and a discharging conveyor line 13 on the other side. The discharging conveyor line 13 is arranged corresponding to the transfer component 5. The material is fed at the feeding conveyor line 12, passes through the adhesive machine body in the middle for bonding, and is then discharged from the discharging conveyor line 13. Observation of the attached... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The sensor assembly 3 is fixed on the upper surface of the feeding conveyor line 13. In this embodiment, the sensor assembly 3 includes a color mark sensor 14 and a sensor bracket 15 that are fixedly connected. The number of color mark sensors 14 is adapted to the number of material groups that the hot melt adhesive machine 2 can process. Color mark sensors 14 with a signal of KS-C2G can be installed. The sensor bracket 15 is fixed on the feeding conveyor line 13 and spans across the feeding conveyor line 13.

[0037] As attached Figure 1 and 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the transfer component 5 includes a robotic arm 16 and a mechanical gripper 18. The robotic arm 16 is fixed to the workshop floor via a base 17. The mechanical gripper 18 is installed at the output end of the robotic arm 16. Robotic arms are commonly used in manufacturing and are considered existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here. The model used here is IRB1600-10 / 1.45. It should be noted that the mechanical gripper 18 includes a fixedly connected connecting seat 19 and a mounting frame 20. The connecting seat 19 is fixed to the output end of the robotic arm 16, and the mounting frame 20 has several needle-type suction cups 22 fixed on it, capable of adapting to fabrics of various thicknesses. The needle extension length of the needle-type suction cups 22 can be adjusted according to the fabric thickness to accommodate different fabric thicknesses. Furthermore, to protect the fabric, a buffer 21 is connected between each needle-type suction cup 22 and the mounting frame 20. The buffer 21 can reduce damage to the fabric during gripping, providing a certain degree of protection. Typically, the buffer 21 can use a spring column.

[0038] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the receiving and conveying unit 6 includes a mounting bracket 26 and a belt 24. The belt 24 is movably disposed between the mounting brackets 26. The belt 24 is tensioned by the drive wheels at both ends of the mounting bracket 26. The belt 24 moves when any one of the drive wheels rotates. Sensor 1 23 and sensor 25 are fixed at intervals on the mounting bracket 26. The mounting positions are located at the beginning and end of the mounting bracket 26. In this embodiment, the encoder assembly 7 consists of a mounting plate 27, an encoder 28, and a protective cover 29. The encoder 28 is fixed to the bottom surface of the unloading conveyor line 13 using the mounting plate 27. The protective cover 29 is also fixedly connected to the unloading conveyor line 13. The encoder 28 is located in the area between the protective cover and the unloading conveyor line 13.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the appendix was observed again. Figure 1 The equipment is also equipped with a safety fence 8, which is fixed between the unloading conveyor line 13 and the receiving conveyor unit 6. One end of the receiving conveyor unit 6 extends out of the manual receiving port 11 on the safety fence 8. In actual manufacturing, a display 9 is installed on the guardrail of the safety fence 8 to facilitate personnel debugging and observation of the equipment operation. It should be noted that the electrical cabinet 10 signals (cables, WiFi) include, but are not limited to, the hot melt adhesive machine 2, display 9, transfer component 5, vision inspection system 4, and line laser positioning device 1 in the connection embodiment. The electrical cabinet 10 is equipped with a processor that configures and executes the program.

[0040] As attached Figures 8 to 10As shown, in actual production applications, there are many types of fabrics, which vary in size, shape, color, thickness, and material. Based on the design of the robot's end effector, the fabrics are categorized into three types according to size: Type I, Type II, and Type III. Type I fabric is narrower; Type II fabric is of moderate width; and Type III fabric is wider.

[0041] 1) Implementation method for Type I fabric;

[0042] The material feeding area is divided into feeding area A and feeding area B. The linear laser positioning device 1 projects 6 center lines as the center position for manual material feeding.

[0043] Two workers are responsible for areas A and B respectively, and each place one of the three I-shaped fabric pieces as shown above. Figure 8 The fabric is placed as shown, with its center line aligned with the center line of the projection, and the three longitudinal lines of the fabric are aligned.

[0044] The hot melt adhesive machine 2 heats the fabric, and after heating is completed, the fabric is conveyed to the position of the sensor assembly 3;

[0045] Sensor assembly 3 detects the fabric, and when the fabric has completely passed the sensor, encoder assembly 7 starts counting.

[0046] Encoder 28 transmits the position of the fabric to vision inspection system 4. Once the fabric is fully within the vision inspection range, the industrial camera takes a picture of the fabric.

[0047] After taking photos, the robotic claw 18 removes the fabric from the unloading conveyor line 13 and places it at the designated position on the receiving conveyor unit 6, and then stacks it one after another.

[0048] Sensor 23 detected the fabric, the palletizing was completed, and manual feeding was stopped.

[0049] The conveyor line of the receiving and conveying unit 6 conveys the fabric to the feeding port;

[0050] Sensor 25 detected the fabric, and the worker took away the stacked fabric.

[0051] The staff pressed the button on electrical cabinet 10, and the equipment continued to work.

[0052] Reference for the placement of Type II and Type III fabrics (see attached) Figure 9 and 10 The subsequent equipment workflow refers to the implementation method of Type I fabric.

[0053] This embodiment describes a device for fabric bonding and sorting. This device integrates multiple disciplines such as machine vision, infrared spectroscopy, and laser ranging to solve the core problems of fabric visual recognition, mechanical execution, and system integration. It adopts an industrial robot (robotic arm 16) and pneumatic flexible grippers to adapt to the gripping needs of different materials, reducing material damage during the sorting and gripping process. At the same time, the device has a rapid changeover capability to adapt to small-batch, multi-variety production modes. The use of an automated sorting system also significantly shortens the production cycle and reduces labor costs.
