Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of film application equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent film application machine. Background Technology
[0002] A laminating device is a device that can apply film to sheet materials. Existing laminating devices have a relatively simple structure, consisting of a frame, a sheet material conveying mechanism, and a film application mechanism. For details, please refer to patent documents such as CN113524371A and CN107042678B. The film application mechanism in such laminating devices is generally universal, meaning it can be adapted to laminating sheets of different thicknesses. However, the laminating quality of such universal laminating devices is poor, and the yield rate is low. A few laminating devices can improve the laminating quality by changing the position parameters of film dispensing and laminating according to the thickness of the sheet material. However, in the existing technology, the thickness of the sheet material is usually measured manually, and then the parameters of the film application mechanism are manually adjusted to achieve lamination. In this case, not only is the workload of the inspection personnel large, but the laminating quality is also greatly affected by the inspection personnel.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

The first lifting component is connected to the moving end of the lateral moving component so that the lateral moving component can drive the first lifting component to move laterally. The suction cup component is connected to the moving end of the first lifting component so that the first lifting component can drive the suction cup component to move up and down.

Through this design, material and labor costs can be effectively reduced while improving the lamination quality of the boards. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0036] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, a preferred embodiment is provided below for reference. Figures 1-5 An intelligent film applicator includes a sheet material input device 1, a detection device 2, a film applicator 3, and a sheet material output device 4, arranged sequentially from front to back; wherein:
[0037] The sheet material input device 1 is used to convey stacked sheets one by one backward;
[0038] The detection device 2 includes a surface detection mechanism 21 and a thickness detection mechanism 22. The surface detection mechanism 21 is used to detect the surface smoothness of the board conveyed by the board input device 1, and the thickness detection mechanism 22 is used to detect the precise thickness tolerance of the board conveyed by the board input device 1.
[0039] The film application device 3 is used to apply film to the boards that have passed the surface inspection mechanism 21, and the film application device 3 can apply film adaptively and stack them according to the detection information of the thickness inspection mechanism 22.
[0040] The board output device 4 is used to receive the boards output by the film application device 3 and to sort and stack the boards.
[0041] Compared to traditional laminating machines, the intelligent laminating machine of this utility model adds a surface inspection mechanism 21 and a thickness inspection mechanism 22. The surface inspection mechanism 21 can first screen out boards with surface defects. For boards with unsatisfactory surface finish, the laminating device 3 will not apply film and will instead place them in the corresponding workstation for stacking and classification via the board output device 4 to avoid wasting film. The thickness inspection mechanism 22 detects the precise thickness of the boards and records the tolerance information of each board. At the same time, the laminating device 3 can automatically adjust the position parameters such as film output and lamination according to the thickness of the board. Then, the labeling information is applied to the surface of the board by the labeling machine. The boards are also classified and stacked according to the thickness tolerance range to achieve high-quality lamination. Through the design of this application, material and labor costs can be effectively reduced while improving the lamination quality of boards.
[0042] In some embodiments, the surface inspection mechanism 21 includes a first inspection group and a second inspection group that are distributed vertically and arranged opposite to each other. Both the first inspection group and the second inspection group include at least one surface inspection and recognition camera. The number of surface inspection and recognition cameras can be appropriately adjusted according to the width of the board material, and is not limited here. By cooperating with the first inspection group and the second inspection group, the upper and lower surfaces of the board material can be inspected simultaneously, thereby improving inspection efficiency.
[0043] In some embodiments, the thickness detection mechanism 22 includes two laser rangefinders arranged vertically and opposite to each other. Of course, the thickness detection mechanism 22 can also employ other existing technologies, such as a camera positioned on one side of the plate to detect the thickness of the plate by photographing the side end of the plate.
[0044] In some embodiments, the intelligent film applicator also includes a labeling device 5, which is located behind the film applicator 3. The labeling device 5 can receive the detection information from the detection device 2 and print the corresponding information onto a label, which is then affixed to the board. The label can record the board thickness information detected by the thickness detection mechanism 22, making the relevant parameters of the board readily apparent. In addition, the surface detection mechanism 21 can also be used to detect information such as the length and width of the board. After receiving the information, the labeling device 5 can print more complete information on the label.
[0045] In some embodiments, the board input device 1 includes a first conveying mechanism 11 and a first board picking mechanism 12; the first conveying mechanism 11 is capable of conveying the board from front to back, and at least one side of the first conveying mechanism 11 is provided with a board placement area 13; the first board picking mechanism 12 is disposed above the first conveying mechanism 11, and is capable of conveying the board on the board placement area 13 to the first conveying mechanism 11. (See also...) Figure 2 The first conveying mechanism 11 can be an existing transmission roller structure. In practical applications, the first board picking mechanism 12 picks up the boards one by one from the board placement area 13 and places them onto the first conveying mechanism 11, while the first conveying mechanism 11 conveys the boards backward so that the boards can be processed for surface flatness detection, thickness detection, film application, etc.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first board-retrieving mechanism 12 includes a lateral moving component 121, a first lifting component 122, and a suction cup component 123. The first lifting component 122 is connected to the moving end of the lateral moving component 121, enabling the lateral moving component 121 to drive the first lifting component 122 to move laterally. The suction cup component 123 is connected to the moving end of the first lifting component 122, enabling the first lifting component 122 to drive the suction cup component 123 to move vertically. The lateral moving component 121 and the first lifting component 122 can directly adopt existing designs and will not be described in detail here. The suction cup component 123 adopts a vacuum suction cup, which can better control the picking and placing of the board and has high stability.
[0047] In some embodiments, the intelligent film applicator further includes a second conveying mechanism 14 and a plurality of alignment guide wheels 15; the first conveying mechanism 11 has a plurality of accommodating gaps in the middle; the second conveying mechanism 14 includes a second lifting assembly (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of conveying assemblies 141, which are respectively disposed in the corresponding accommodating gaps. The conveying assemblies 141 can drive the sheet material to move from left to right or from right to left. The second lifting assembly is used to drive the plurality of conveying assemblies 141 to move up and down; when the conveying assemblies 141 can drive the sheet material to move from left to right, the plurality of alignment guide wheels 15 are arranged in an orderly manner from front to back on the right side of the first conveying mechanism 11; when the conveying assemblies 141 can drive the sheet material to move from right to left, the plurality of alignment guide wheels 15 are arranged in an orderly manner from front to back on the left side of the first conveying mechanism 11. In practical applications, when the first board-picking mechanism 12 conveys the board material, the second lifting component drives several conveying components 141 to move above the first conveying mechanism 11, so that the first board-picking mechanism 12 conveys the board material onto the conveying components 141. Then, the conveying components 141 move the board material against the alignment guide roller 15, thereby achieving board positioning. Next, the second lifting component drives several conveying components 141 downwards, causing the board material to fall onto the first conveying mechanism 11, which then conveys the board material backwards. This design achieves precise board positioning, enabling the subsequent film-applying device 3 to accurately apply film to the board, improving film-applying quality.
[0048] In some embodiments, the film-applying device 3 includes an upper film-applying mechanism and a lower film-applying mechanism distributed vertically. The upper and lower film-applying mechanisms enable simultaneous film application to both the upper and lower surfaces of the board, improving the film-applying quality.
[0049] In some embodiments, the sheet output device 4 includes a third conveying mechanism 41 and a second sheet picking mechanism 42. The third conveying mechanism 41 can drive the sheet to be conveyed from front to back, and the second conveying mechanism 41 has a good product area and a defective product area on both sides. The second sheet picking mechanism 42 is located above the third conveying mechanism 41, and it can convey the sheet with film to the good product area and the sheet without film to the defective product area. The third conveying mechanism 41 has the same structure as the first conveying mechanism 11, and the structure of the second sheet picking mechanism 42 is the same as the structure of the first sheet picking mechanism 12, which will not be described in detail here.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and its structure is not limited to the shapes listed above. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
