Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology, specifically relating to an automated auxiliary material storage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the aircraft manufacturing process, composite materials play a protective and covering role, safeguarding the surface quality of the product. Currently, there are 66 different types of composite materials used, varying in shape, material, and length. These materials are in roll form for easy unfolding and cutting.

[0003] In current technology, the management of excipients relies entirely on manual operation, without any related equipment to assist in management. As the types of excipients gradually increase, the following problems are likely to occur:

[0004] (1) Due to the production process, the types of products used are complex, the demand is unstable, and the required length varies randomly. The cutting, folding, and bagging of film are mostly done manually.

[0005] (2) There are many types of materials, and the rolls need to be carried back and forth to the cutting and feeding rack, which results in high labor intensity for the staff;

[0006] (3) The materials to be cut are piled up in a disorderly manner, making it impossible to effectively manage and scientifically count their quantity;

[0007] (4) It is impossible to trace the data of the cut materials.

[0008] With the increasing demand for intelligent manufacturing, it is necessary to research, design, and establish automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) based on the storage requirements of auxiliary materials. This research should include functions such as three-dimensional storage, automatic screening, automatic retrieval, and automatic inventory counting of auxiliary materials. Combined with the length measurement function of the automatic feeding system, inventory management and automatic early warning can be achieved. Establishing AS / RS can improve space utilization, reduce manual workload, achieve automatic system monitoring, and ensure real-time information availability. Utility Model Content

[0039] The folding mechanism 9 includes a belt conveyor and multiple folding plates disposed on both sides of the belt conveyor. The multiple folding plates include a first folding plate 13 and a third folding plate 14 disposed on one side of the belt conveyor, and a second folding plate 15 disposed on the other side of the belt conveyor. A folding cylinder is disposed beneath each folding plate, which pushes the folding plate to flip and fold the cut auxiliary material. Through three folds, the cut auxiliary material can be folded in multiple layers, facilitating subsequent handling and packaging.

[0040] The belt conveyor is aligned with the transmission line 11 of the label printer 12.

[0041] The material pulling robot 10 is located at one end of the worktable, and the material rotating shaft 7 is located at the other end of the worktable. The folding mechanism 9 and the cutter 8 are respectively located between the material pulling robot 10 and the material rotating shaft 7.

[0042] The transfer robot 2 includes a material gripper 5 and a movable base 6 for controlling the movement of the material gripper 5.
