Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material strip feeding and packaging technology, and in particular relates to an automatic cutting and packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile terminals and other electronic products, such as mobile phones, typically use spring clips inside. These spring clips are formed by punching and bending strips of metal. After processing, a cutting mechanism cuts the spring clips from the metal strip and places them on a carrier belt. A film is then applied to the carrier belt to package the spring clips. Traditionally, after cutting, the spring clips are manually placed on the carrier belt and sealed with film. In practice, because the spring clips are small and easily deformed, they are prone to falling off and being scratched or deformed during handling by operators using tweezers. Furthermore, this monotonous and repetitive work makes it difficult for workers to maintain high concentration, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0003] With the development of automated equipment and vacuum adsorption technology, existing technologies also utilize vacuum moving components to transfer cut spring sheets onto carrier belts, thereby improving work efficiency. For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 201911346625.2 discloses an automatic spring sheet cutting and packaging device, including a spring sheet strip, a base, a support fixedly mounted above the base, a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a packaging mechanism, and a control mechanism mounted above the support. The feeding mechanism is connected to the cutting mechanism, and the packaging mechanism is connected to the cutting mechanism. The control mechanism is fixedly connected to the support and electrically connected to the feeding mechanism, cutting mechanism, and packaging mechanism respectively. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding tray connected to the base via a support rod and a limiting groove connected to the support rod. The packaging mechanism includes a pressing component mounted on the support, a first discharging tray above the pressing component, a second discharging tray connected to the base on the right side of the pressing component, and a receiving tray parallel to the pressing component. This device can automatically cut and package the spring sheets on the spring sheet strip, reducing manual operation and effectively improving work efficiency and product quality.

[0004] While the aforementioned patented technology improves the transfer efficiency of the spring sheets through the moving component, it still suffers from the following technical problems: Because the moving component and air nozzle directly transfer the punched spring sheets to the storage belt for heat sealing, the moving component reciprocates between the punching mechanism and the storage belt, resulting in idle strokes and thus low transfer efficiency. Furthermore, when the metal strip contains multiple rows of spring sheets, the existing technology lacks an efficient transfer method due to the need to cut multiple spring sheets at once, consuming significant time in product positioning and movement, severely restricting the overall production pace and efficiency. In the current mobile phone internal hardware manufacturing industry, with the continuous growth of market demand for mobile phones, the efficiency of mass production has become crucial.

[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0047] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0048] See appendix Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an automatic cutting and packaging equipment includes a workbench 1 and a control module 11, a feeding module 2, a cutting module 3, a transfer module 4, a turntable module 5, a jumping tower module 6, a secondary positioning module 7, a detection module 8, and a packaging module 9, which are respectively arranged on the workbench 1.

[0049] Specifically, a support pole 12 is vertically fixed on the workbench 1. The control module 11 includes a display 111 and a PLC controller 112 with a touch screen, both fixedly mounted on the support pole 12. The PLC controller 112 can control the feeding module 2, the cutting module 3, the transfer module 4, the turntable module 5, the hopping tower module 6, the secondary positioning module 7, the detection module 8, and the packaging module 9.

[0050] The feeding module 2 is used to place the rolled material strip 21 and includes a feeding disc 22 that is rotatably fixed on the upright 12 and a feeding motor 23 that can drive the feeding disc 22 to rotate. The specific structure and working principle of the feeding module 2 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] See appendix Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the cutting module 3 is set on the workbench 1 in front of the feeding tray 22. It is mainly used to pull the material strip 21 to pull the material strip 21 out of the feeding tray 22 and to cut the product 24 on the pulled-out material strip 21.

[0052] The cutting module 3 includes a cutting bracket 31 fixedly mounted on the worktable 1, a material pulling motor 32 horizontally fixedly mounted on the cutting bracket 31 by bolts, a material pulling disc 33 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the material pulling motor 32, a pressure roller 34 arranged above the material pulling disc 33, a guide sleeve seat 35 fixedly connected to the cutting bracket 31 by bolts, a guide plate 36 horizontally fixedly connected to the guide sleeve seat 35 by bolts, an upper blade 37 fixedly connected to the guide plate 36, a cutting motor 38 horizontally fixedly connected to the cutting bracket 31, a cutting linkage mechanism 381 arranged on the output shaft of the cutting motor 38, and a lower blade 39 fixedly connected to the end of the cutting linkage mechanism 381 away from the cutting motor 38.

[0053] Specifically, multiple pulling teeth 331 are integrally formed or welded to the outer circumference of the pulling disc 33. Pulling holes 211 are provided at the edges on both sides of the existing material strip 21. The distribution and angle of the pulling teeth 331 on the pulling disc 33 are adapted to the distance between the two pulling holes 211. That is, the pulling motor 32 drives the pulling disc 33 to rotate, and the pulling teeth 331 are sequentially inserted into each pulling hole 211. As the pulling disc 33 rotates, the pulling teeth 331 drive the material strip 21 forward. In order to make the material strip 21 move forward smoothly, a pressure roller 34 is provided, and an outer guide roller 332 is coaxially fixed on the pulling disc 33. The outer guide roller 332 is arranged opposite to the pressure roller 34, so that while the pulling teeth 331 drive the material strip 21 forward, the pressure roller 34 and the outer guide roller 332 guide the material strip 21. It should be noted that the pressure roller 34 is mounted on the elastic component of the existing structure, that is, the pressure roller 34 presses against the outer guide roller 332 through the elastic component.

[0054] The conveyor belt 21 advances on the guide plate 36. To guide the conveyor belt 21, a pressure plate 361 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 36 by bolts. A gap is provided between the pressure plate 361 and the upper end face of the guide plate 36 to allow the conveyor belt 21 to pass through. An upper blade 37 is provided on the guide plate 36 above the guide sleeve seat 35. The upper blade 37 is fixedly installed on the guide plate 36 by a pressure block 371.

[0055] When the product 24 on the strip 21 needs to be cut, the output shaft of the cutting motor 38 rotates to drive the cutting linkage mechanism 381, which in turn drives the lower blade 39 to move upward. Under the alternating shearing of the upper blade 37 and the lower blade 39, the product 24 that has moved to that position is cut off. By driving the cutting linkage mechanism 381 with the cutting motor 38, the speed of the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the lower blade 39 can be increased, thereby improving the cutting efficiency. For the specific structure and cutting principle of the cutting linkage mechanism 381, please refer to the utility model patent granted to the applicant, CN221247082U, entitled "A Cutting Device".

[0056] See Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the transfer module 4 is mounted on the workbench 1 on one side of the cutting module 3. Its main function is to quickly transfer the cut-off products 24 to the turntable module 4. The transfer module 4 includes a transfer bracket 43 fixedly mounted on the workbench 1, a PPU robotic arm assembly 41 mounted on the transfer bracket 43, and a suction nozzle module 42 fixedly mounted on the output end of the PPU robotic arm assembly. Both the PPU robotic arm assembly 41 and the suction nozzle module 42 can use existing structures. That is, the PPU robotic arm assembly 41 can drive the suction nozzle module 42 to reciprocate above the cut-off products 24 and the turntable module 5. Of course, in order to be able to pick up the products 24, the suction nozzle module 42 should be used in conjunction with an existing vacuum generating module (not shown in the figure). It should be noted that in this embodiment, four products 24 need to be cut on the conveyor belt 21, and the suction nozzle module 42 needs to be able to pick up and transfer the four products 24 to the turntable module 5 at one time.

[0057] See Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the turntable module 5 is set on the workbench 1 on one side of the cutting module 3. Its main function is to continuously feed the cut products 24 so that the jump tower module 6 can sequentially transfer the products 24 one by one to the secondary positioning module 7.

[0058] The turntable module 5 includes a turntable 51 with multiple contoured grooves 511, a rotary drive assembly for driving the turntable 51 to rotate, and a sliding drive assembly for driving the rotary drive assembly to slide back and forth.

[0059] Specifically, the rotary drive assembly includes a hollow rotary platform 53 bolted to a turntable bracket 52, and a rotary drive motor 54 bolted to the hollow rotary platform 53. The turntable 51 is bolted to the output rotating end of the hollow rotary platform 53 via a connecting flange 531. The rotary drive motor 54 drives the hollow rotary platform 53 to rotate the turntable 53. Specifically, the hollow rotary platform 53 can be a standard ZNC01-60-SV-5 model. A base plate 13 is bolted to the upper surface of the worktable 1, and the turntable bracket 52 is slidably connected to the base plate 13 via a slide rail slider assembly. In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the turntable bracket 52 can be parallel to the forward direction of the conveyor belt 21.

[0060] The sliding drive assembly can drive the turntable support 52 to slide on the base plate 13 of the worktable 1. The sliding drive assembly can have various forms. In this embodiment, in order to improve the moving speed of the turntable support 52, the sliding drive assembly includes a sliding drive motor 55 fixedly mounted on the base plate 13 via a motor mount (not shown in the figure). The sliding drive motor 55 drives the turntable support 52 to slide back and forth via a sliding linkage mechanism. The sliding linkage mechanism includes a first link 551 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the sliding drive motor 55, and a second link 552 rotatably connected at both ends to the first link 551 and the turntable support 52 respectively via a pin structure. With the above structure, the sliding drive motor 55 can drive the sliding linkage mechanism to achieve a specified sliding distance of the turntable support 52 and return it to the initial position.

[0061] The contouring grooves 511 on the turntable 51 match the shape of the product 24. Since four products 24 are cut and transferred at a time, four sets of contouring grooves 511 are evenly distributed in pairs, with four contouring grooves 511 in each set at equal intervals. In order to maintain the stability of the product 24 in the contouring grooves 511 when the turntable 51 rotates, the product 24 needs to be adsorbed in the contouring grooves 511 by negative pressure. Therefore, a vent hole 512 penetrating the turntable 51 is opened at the bottom of each set of contouring grooves 511. An air suction base 56 is horizontally fixed to the turntable support 52 by bolts. A rotating air plate 57 is fixedly installed on the air suction base 56 by bolts. The rotating output end and connecting flange 531 of the hollow rotating platform 53 are rotatably inserted into the air suction base 56 and the rotating air plate 57 and fixedly connected to the turntable 51.

[0062] Suction holes 561 and suction grooves 571 are respectively provided on the suction base 56 and the air rotating plate 57 below the transplanting module 4 and near the side of the jumping tower module 6. The suction holes 561, suction grooves 571 and air vents 512 are interconnected. That is, the suction holes 561, suction grooves 571 and air vents 512 at the two locations below the transplanting module 4 and adjacent to the rotating plate module 5 near the jumping tower module 6 are interconnected. The existing vacuum generating component can create a negative pressure state between the contour groove 511 and the product 24 through the suction holes 561, suction grooves 571 and air vents 512, thereby adsorbing the product 24 into the contour groove 511. When the product 24 below the transplanting module 4 rotates quickly to the side near the jumping tower module 6, the product 24 will not shake under the negative pressure.

[0063] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing between the turntable 51 and the air disc 57, the limiting bolt 58 is slidably inserted inside the turntable 51 and threadedly connected to the connecting flange 531 of the rotary drive assembly. A compression spring 59 is sleeved on the limiting bolt 58 between the upper end face of the turntable 51 and the nut of the limiting bolt 58, so that the turntable 51 presses against the air disc 57.

[0064] See Figure 9 , 10 As shown, a gantry module 6 is provided on the right side of the turntable module 5, which is mainly used to transfer the products 24 on the turntable module 5 to the carrier belt 91. The gantry module 6 includes a gantry drive module 61, a rotating frame 62 driven by the gantry drive module 61 to perform up-and-down and rotational movements, and adsorption components 63 evenly distributed on the rotating frame 62. The adsorption components 63 transfer the products on the turntable 51 one by one into the carrier belt 91.

[0065] Specifically, the gantry drive module 61 includes a gantry drive motor 611 fixed on the workbench 1 and a cam divider 612 driven by the gantry drive motor 611. The cam divider 612 can be the Shenzhen Gaoshida lifting divider with the existing model 80DFN-12. That is, the cam divider 612 can drive the rotating frame 62 to lift and rotate. The adsorption assembly 63 includes suction nozzles 631 evenly distributed on the rotating frame 62 and a vacuum distribution module 632 connecting each suction nozzle 631. The vacuum distribution module 632 can be based on existing technology, as long as it can enable each suction nozzle 631 to adsorb the product 24 and detach the product 24 through a vacuum breaking structure. Its specific structure can be derived from Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 201820208390.5, entitled "A Split-Type Liftable Rotating High-Speed ​​Picking and Placing Mechanism for a Tape and Tape Machine," or Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 201921033539.1, entitled "A Turntable Vacuum Mechanism for a Diode Tape and Tape Machine." The suction nozzles 631 of the adsorption assembly 63 can adsorb the product 24 in the contour groove 511 of the turntable 51 and transfer it to the packaging module 9.

[0066] See Figure 9 , 11 As shown in Figures 1 and 12, in order to perform secondary positioning on the product 24 adsorbed from the turntable 51 so that it can be accurately placed in the corresponding position of the packaging module 9 by the suction nozzle 631, this utility model also includes a secondary positioning module 7, which is set at the next station of the turntable module 5.

[0067] The secondary positioning module 7 includes a positioning bracket 71 fixedly mounted on the worktable 1, a positioning motor 72 fixedly mounted on the positioning bracket 71, a slide plate 73 horizontally fixed to the motor base of the positioning motor 72 by bolts, a cam assembly rotatably passing through the slide plate 73, a plurality of positioning claws 74 slidably disposed within the slide plate 73 and evenly distributed along the axis of the slide plate 73, and a spring ring 75 sleeved in a groove on the outer circumference of the slide plate 73 to move the positioning claws 74 inward. The positioning motor 72 drives the cam assembly to rotate so that the positioning claws 74 move towards or away from each other. In this embodiment, four positioning claws 74 may be provided.

[0068] Specifically, the cam assembly includes a cam seat 76 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the positioning motor 72, and a roller 77 mounted on the cam seat 76. The roller 77 is correspondingly mounted to the positioning claws 74 and can abut against each other. Each positioning claw 74 has a notch 741 with a sloping structure. When the roller 77 rotates from the notch 741 to abut against the end face of the positioning claw 74, it can drive each positioning claw 74 to move away from each other. In order to limit the positioning claws 74, a limiting block 78 is fixedly embedded in the slide 73 inside the positioning claw 74. With the above structure, when the roller 77 is in the notch 741, each positioning claw 74 moves towards each other under the action of the spring coil 75, thereby abutting against the product 24 to position it; when the roller 77 rotates to abut against the end face of the positioning claw 74, it pushes each positioning claw 74 outward so that the suction nozzle 631 can take out the positioned product 24.

[0069] See Figure 9 As shown, this utility model also includes a detection module 8, located at a subsequent station of the secondary positioning module 7. It is used to inspect the product 24 and includes a detection bracket 81 and an AOI lens module 82 mounted on the detection bracket 81. Multiple detection modules 8 can be configured. They use the AOI lens module 82 to detect different parts of the product 24 and the required detection parameters. The detection principle is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. A waste bin 83 is located below the suction nozzle 631 at the corresponding station of each detection module 8. Products 24 that fail the inspection fall into the waste bin 83.

[0070] See Figure 13 , 14 As shown, the packaging module 9 is set on the workbench 1 and is used for packaging the product 24. It includes a rotatable carrier tape feeding tray 92 for placing the rolled carrier tape 91, a carrier tape track plate 93 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, a carrier tape drive mechanism 94 for driving the carrier tape 91 forward on the carrier tape track plate 93, a cover tape plate 95 fixed to the workbench 1, a cover tape feeding tray 97 for placing the rolled cover tape 96 rotatably connected to the cover tape plate 95, a cover tape guide assembly 98 and a hot pressing module 99 provided on the cover tape plate 95.

[0071] The carrier belt 91 is used to hold the product 24, and the hot-pressing module 99 seals the product within the carrier belt 91 by hot-pressing the cover belt 96. The cover belt guide assembly 98 is prior art and mainly includes various tensioning mechanisms. To detect whether there is a shortage of material in the carrier belt 91, a conventional vision monitoring module 951 fixedly installed on the cover belt upright plate 95 is used for detection before the cover belt 96 is hot-pressed.

[0072] It should be noted that, apart from the hot pressing module 99, the packaging module 9 can use existing technologies, such as the Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN113184254B and patent name "An Integrated Equipment for Automatic Cutting, Inspection and Packaging of Dual-Material Strip Products".

[0073] The hot press module 99 includes an upper mounting plate 991 fixedly connected to the cover plate 95, a heat sealing pause cylinder 992 fixedly connected vertically downward to the upper mounting plate 991, a lower mounting plate 993 fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the heat sealing pause cylinder 992, a heat sealing pressure cylinder 994 fixedly connected vertically downward to the lower mounting plate 993, a sliding block 995 fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the heat sealing pressure cylinder 994, a heat insulation plate 996 fixedly connected to the lower end face of the sliding block 995, a hot press knife locking block 997 fixedly connected to the lower end of the heat insulation plate 996, a hot press knife 9971 fixedly connected to the hot press knife locking block 997, a heating component 9972 disposed inside the hot press knife locking block 997, and a tension spring 998 fixed at both ends to the lower mounting plate 993 and the sliding block 995 respectively.

[0074] When heat sealing is paused, the telescopic rod of the heat sealing pause cylinder 992 retracts to drive the hot pressing knife 9971 to move upward. Conversely, during heat sealing, the telescopic rod of the heat sealing pause cylinder 992 extends to drive the hot pressing knife 9971 to move downward. Then, the heat sealing pressing cylinder 994 drives the hot pressing knife 9971 to abut against the cover strip 96 to seal and to disengage from the cover strip 96 in preparation for the next heat sealing.

[0075] The working principle and process of this embodiment are as follows:

[0076] The control module 11 controls the feeding motor 23 to drive the feeding disc 22 to rotate so as to feed the material strip 21. At this time, the pulling motor 32 drives the pulling disc 33 to rotate synchronously, so as to pull the material strip 21. The material strip is pulled quickly according to the precise size requirements, and the stopping position is the same each time the material is pulled to ensure the consistency of the cutting size. When it is necessary to cut the product 24 on the material strip 21, the cutting motor 38 drives the cutting linkage mechanism 381 to raise the lower blade 39 and cooperate with the upper blade 37 to complete the cutting of the product 24.

[0077] Then, the PPU robotic arm assembly 41 drives the suction module 42 to quickly grab the four cut products and transfer them to the contouring groove 511 on the turntable 51. The rotary drive motor 54 drives the hollow rotary platform 53 to rotate the turntable 51 clockwise by 90° to move the product 24 to the suction nozzle 631 of the jump tower module 6. During rotation, the vacuum generating assembly can create a negative pressure state between the contouring groove 511 and the product 24 through the suction hole 561, suction groove 571 and ventilation hole 512, thereby keeping the product 24 stable.

[0078] The 12 suction nozzles 631 of the jumping tower module 6 move quickly and sequentially to the turntable 51 to pick up the product 24. Since the position of the suction nozzle 631 on the turntable 51 to pick up the product 24 is fixed, the first link 551 and the second link 552 are driven by the sliding drive motor 55 to make the turntable 51 move forward one step at a time, and the suction nozzle 631 picks up one product 24 at a time.

[0079] After the suction nozzle 631 picks up the product 24 from the turntable 51 and places it in the secondary positioning module 7 for positioning, the next suction nozzle 631 picks up the product 24 from the secondary positioning module 7 and transfers it to the inspection module 8 station for inspection. Defective products fall into the waste bin 83, and qualified products continue to be transferred to the top of the carrier belt 91 and placed in the carrier belt 91.

[0080] During the packaging of carrier tape 91, the empty carrier tape 91 quickly moves from the space below the workbench 1 through the carrier tape feeding tray 92 to the carrier tape track upright plate 93. Driven by the carrier tape drive mechanism 94, the carrier tape 91 is quickly pulled to move. Before the self-adhesive cover tape 96 is packaged, the vision monitoring module 951 quickly detects the product 23 on the carrier tape 91 to determine whether there are any problems such as missing products, not being placed in the correct position, or unqualified cutting dimensions. The qualified product 24 quickly enters the hot-press packaging area. The control module 11 controls the action of the heat-sealing pressing cylinder 994. The heating rod of the heating component 9972 controls the temperature through thermocouples to perform hot-press packaging of the carrier tape 91 and the cover tape 96. The tension spring 998 in the hot-press module 99 can prevent the carrier tape 91 from deforming due to heat melting. The packaged product 24, carrier tape 91, and cover tape 96 can be wound up by the finished product winding component 999.

[0081] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
