[0018]In the material dispensing device of this application, during material handling, the second adsorbent, aided by the compressibility of the elastic element, is positioned at the same height as the first adsorbent to stably adsorb the product. Since the initial height of the second adsorbent is lower than that of the first adsorbent, after material handling is complete and the elastic element recovers its deformation, the height of the first part becomes higher than that of the second part. During material separation, the pushing structure moves in a direction away from the adsorption structure to ensure smooth separation of the second part from the first part. The height difference between the second and first parts prevents the second part from colliding with the first part adsorbed by the first adsorbent. Furthermore, after the second part detaches from the adsorption of the second adsorbent, its fall will not scratch the first part adsorbed by the first adsorbent, reducing the risk of product damage and improving the stability and reliability of the separation process.

[0018] In the material dispensing device of this application, during material handling, the second adsorbent, aided by the compressibility of the elastic element, is positioned at the same height as the first adsorbent to stably adsorb the product. Since the initial height of the second adsorbent is lower than that of the first adsorbent, after material handling is complete and the elastic element recovers its deformation, the height of the first part becomes higher than that of the second part. During material separation, the pushing structure moves in a direction away from the adsorption structure to ensure smooth separation of the second part from the first part. The height difference between the second and first parts prevents the second part from colliding with the first part adsorbed by the first adsorbent.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the material dispensing device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the material dispensing device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a front view of the dispensing device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The dispensing device 100 proposed in this application includes a carrier plate 10, an adsorption structure 20, and a pushing structure 30. The adsorption structure 20 is connected to the carrier plate 10 and includes a first adsorption member 21, which is used to adsorb a first portion 210 of the product 200.
[0037] The pushing structure 30 is connected to the carrier plate 10 and is located on the same side of the carrier plate 10 as the adsorption structure 20. The pushing structure 30 includes a second adsorption member 31 and an elastic member connected to the second adsorption member 31. The second adsorption member 31 is used to adsorb the second part 220 of the product 200. The second adsorption member 31 can move horizontally relative to the carrier plate 10 in a direction away from the adsorption structure 20. Both the first adsorption member 21 and the second adsorption member 31 are located above the product 200 and adsorb the product from top to bottom. When the elastic member is in its natural state, the height of the second adsorption member 31 is lower than the height of the first adsorption member 21.
[0038] The material separation device 100 provided in this application is applicable to the separation of finished products and waste materials from precision products 200 such as laser-cut sheets or glass. The carrier plate 10 serves as the mounting base for the entire device and can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or other high-strength materials. Its specific shape can be designed as rectangular, circular, or other suitable shapes according to the size of the product 200 to be separated. Multiple mounting holes can be pre-set on the carrier plate 10 to fix the adsorption structure 20 and the pushing structure 30, ensuring stable installation.
[0039] The adsorption structure 20 can be connected to the carrier plate 10 by means of bolt fixing, welding, or snap-fit connection, and there are no restrictions on this. The first adsorption element 21 in the adsorption structure 20 is used to adsorb the first part 210 of the product 200, which is usually a finished product. The first adsorption element 21 can be a vacuum suction cup, which can be made of silicone material to avoid scratching the glass when adsorbing products 200 that are easily scratched, such as glass. The first adsorption element 21 is connected to an external vacuum generator or vacuum pump through an air tube, which can be inserted through a pre-set through hole in the carrier plate 10.
[0040] The pushing structure 30 and the adsorption structure 20 are typically located below the carrier plate 10, facing the product 200. The second adsorption member 31 of the pushing structure 30 is used to adsorb the second part 220 of the product 200, which is generally the waste part of the product 200. The second adsorption member 31 can also be a vacuum suction cup, and its structure can be the same as or different from that of the first adsorption member 21. For example, when the area of the finished part of the product 200 is larger than that of the waste part, the second adsorption member 31 can be a vacuum suction cup with a smaller diameter to save space.
[0041] The elastic element can be a helical spring. It can be located inside the second adsorption element 31, or one end can be connected to the carrier plate 10 and the other end to the second adsorption element 31. When the elastic element is in its natural state, the height of the second adsorption element 31 is lower than the height of the first adsorption element 21. This height difference can be achieved by adjusting the installation height of the adsorption structure 20 or the initial length of the elastic element in the pushing structure 30. For example, the first adsorption element 21 can be fixed to the carrier plate 10 with a higher bracket, while the second adsorption element 31 is installed at a lower position in its natural state, thus forming a stable initial height difference.
[0042] The working process of the material sorting device 100 is as follows: When the laser-cut product 200 is conveyed to the material sorting station, the first part 210 of the product 200 is connected to the second part 220, that is, the product 200 is connected to the waste material. The carrier plate 10 drives the adsorption structure 20 and the pushing structure 30 to move down as a whole, so that the first adsorption member 21 is close to the first part 210 of the product 200, and the second adsorption member 31 is close to the second part 220 of the product 200. As the carrier plate 10 continues to move down, since the initial height of the second adsorption member 31 is lower, the second adsorption member 31 first contacts the second part 220 of the product 200. After contact, the product 200 will compress the elastic member, and the deformation of the elastic member will cause the second adsorption member 31 to gradually rise until the first adsorption member 21 also contacts and adsorbs the first part 210 of the product 200. The first adsorption member 21 and the second adsorption member 31 are together attached to the surface of the product 200, ensuring that both can tightly adsorb the product 200.
[0043] After adsorption is completed, the carrier plate 10 drives the adsorption structure 20 and the pushing structure 30 to move upward to leave the material picking position. After the elastic element loses the resistance of the product 200 surface, it gradually recovers its deformation, causing the second adsorption element 31 to fall back to the initial lower position. The first adsorption element 21, because it is not affected by the elastic element, maintains its original height, making the height of the first part 210 higher than the height of the second part 220.
[0044] Upon entering the material pushing and separation stage, the drive component of the pushing structure 30 is activated, causing the second adsorption element 31 to move horizontally away from the adsorption structure 20. Since the height of the second part 220 is lower than that of the first part 210, a clear height difference is formed between them in the vertical space. Combined with the horizontal movement, this prevents the edges of the waste from rubbing or colliding with the surface or edges of the finished product during the pushing process. Even if slight swaying occurs due to inertia during movement, the vertical height difference effectively prevents contact between the two.
[0045] When the second adsorbent 31 moves to a preset distance and the waste and finished product are completely separated, the second adsorbent 31 releases its adsorption force. For example, when the vacuum is broken, the waste falls to the collection area under the action of gravity. Since the height of the waste is always lower than that of the finished product, the falling path avoids the finished product adsorbed by the first adsorbent 21, thus avoiding the risk of the waste hitting or scratching the finished product when it falls.
[0046] In the dispensing device 100 of this application, during material collection, the second adsorption member 31, through the compressibility of the elastic member, is positioned at the same height as the first adsorption member 21 to stably adsorb the product 200. Since the initial height of the second adsorption member 31 is lower than the height of the first adsorption member 21, after material collection is completed and the elastic member recovers its deformation, the height of the first portion 210 becomes higher than the height of the second portion 220. During material separation, the pushing structure 30 moves away from the adsorption structure 20 to smoothly separate the second portion 220 from the first portion 210. The height difference between the second portion 220 and the first portion 210 prevents the second portion 220 from colliding with the first portion 210 adsorbed by the first adsorption member 21. Furthermore, after the second portion 220 detaches from the adsorption of the second adsorption member 31, its fall will not scratch the first portion 210 adsorbed by the first adsorption member 21, reducing the risk of damage to the product 200 and improving the stability and reliability of the separation process.
[0047] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the adsorption structure 20 provided in an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the adsorption structure 20 includes a mounting frame 22, which includes a mounting plate 221 connected to the carrier plate 10. The mounting plate 221 has a first strip-shaped hole 2211 parallel to the first horizontal direction Y. The first adsorption member 21 is installed in the first strip-shaped hole 2211 and can slide along the first horizontal direction Y. The mounting frame 22 is used to install the first adsorption member 21 to improve the stability of the first adsorption member 21 installation. When processing products 200 of different sizes or shapes, the position of the first adsorption member 21 in the first strip-shaped hole 2211 can be adjusted according to the actual position of the first part 210 in the product 200, ensuring that the first adsorption member 21 can be accurately aligned with the finished product area, thus improving the flexibility of the dispensing device 100 for products 200 of different sizes.
[0048] The mounting plate 221 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which ensures structural strength while reducing overall weight. The first strip hole 2211 can be formed by milling or laser cutting. The first adsorption member 21 and the first strip hole 2211 can be connected by a slider, that is, the mounting base of the first adsorption member 21 is fixed to the slider, and the slider is embedded in the first strip hole 2211 and can slide along the hole.
[0049] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 221 may also be provided with a scale to facilitate quick positioning of the first adsorption member 21. The first adsorption member 21 can be slid to the corresponding scale position according to the size of the product 200.
[0050] The number of mounting plates 221 can be one, two, three, or four, depending on actual needs. To ensure the stability of the adsorption structure 20 and its adaptability to products 200 of different sizes, multiple mounting plates 221 can be provided. For example, four mounting plates 221 can be arranged parallel to each other along the second horizontal direction X on the carrier plate 10 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, each mounting plate 221 has two spaced-apart first strip holes 2211, and the first strip holes 2211 of adjacent mounting plates 221 are parallel to each other. The first adsorption member 21 on each mounting plate 221 can be independently slid and adjusted along the first strip hole 2211. Multiple mounting plates 221 are used in combination to adjust the position of the first adsorption member 21 within a wider range to adapt to products 200 of different sizes and shapes.
[0051] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 Optionally, the mounting bracket 22 further includes a support plate 222, which is mounted on the mounting plate 221 on the side opposite to the carrier plate 10. The support plate 222 has a second strip hole 2221 parallel to the second horizontal direction X. Part of the first adsorption member 21 passes through the second strip hole 2221 and can slide along the second horizontal direction X, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction Y.
[0052] The support plate 222 is installed on the mounting plate 221, that is, on the side close to the product 200. Part of the first adsorption member 21 is inserted into the second strip hole 2221 and can slide along the second horizontal direction X, realizing the two-dimensional sliding of the first adsorption member 21 on the horizontal plane, so that the first adsorption member 21 can adapt to more complex shapes of the product 200.
[0053] Specifically, the support plate 222 can be made of the same material as the mounting plate 221 and is fixed to the mounting plate 221 by bolts or welding. The first adsorption member 21 and the second strip hole 2221 can also be connected by a slider, with the slider embedded in the second strip hole 2221 and fixed to the mounting base of the first adsorption member 21.
[0054] The number of support plates 222 can be one, two, three, or four, depending on actual needs. To ensure the stability of the adsorption structure 20 and its adaptability to products 200 of different sizes, multiple support plates 222 can be provided. For example, four support plates 222 can be arranged parallel to each other along the first horizontal direction Y on the side of the mounting plate 221 facing the product 200 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, each support plate 222 has two spaced-apart second strip holes 2221, and the second strip holes 2221 of adjacent support plates 222 are parallel to each other. The first adsorption member 21 on each support plate 222 can be independently slidably adjusted along the second strip hole 2221.
[0055] When the first part 210 of the product 200 is irregularly distributed on the horizontal plane, the position of the first adsorption element 21 can be adjusted along the first horizontal direction Y and the second horizontal direction X respectively, so that each first adsorption element 21 is precisely aligned with each adsorption point of the finished product, ensuring that each first adsorption element 21 is adsorbed on the effective area of the finished product, avoiding adsorption on waste or edge positions that may cause it to fall off.
[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the material distribution device 100 also includes a lifting structure 40, which includes a driving member 41 and a connecting plate 42. The driving member 41 is disposed on the carrier plate 10. One side of the connecting plate 42 is connected to the driving member 41, and the other side of the connecting plate 42 is connected to the support plate 222. The driving member 41 drives the connecting plate 42 to move in the vertical direction Z to move the first adsorption member 21.
[0057] During the material separation stage, the drive component 41 can lift the first adsorption component 21 a certain distance, creating a larger separation space between the finished product and the waste material, thus avoiding collisions during the separation process. The lifting structure 40 can also avoid interference. When the material separation device 100 needs to work in conjunction with other equipment on the production line, the lifting structure 40 can drive the first adsorption component 21 and the support plate 222 to rise as a whole, raising the height to avoid interference between the adsorption structure 20 and other equipment, ensuring the normal operation of the material separation process.
[0058] Furthermore, the vertical Z-position of the first adsorption member 21 is controlled by the drive member 41, enabling more flexible adsorption action. During the material handling stage, when there is a height difference or unevenness on the surface of the product 200, the drive member 41 can drive the first adsorption member 21 to descend to an appropriate height, ensuring that the first adsorption member 21 is in full contact with the surface of the product 200. The lifting structure 40 can also be used to adjust the relative height difference between the first adsorption member 21 and the second adsorption member 31. When processing products 200 of different thicknesses, the height of the first adsorption member 21 is adjusted by the drive member 41 to ensure that, in the natural state of the elastic member, the initial height of the second adsorption member 31 is always lower than that of the first adsorption member 21.
[0059] The fixed end of the driving component 41 is connected to the carrier plate 10, and the output end of the driving component 41 is connected to the connecting plate 42. The driving component 41 can be a cylinder, a motor, or an electric push rod, etc., and there are no restrictions here. When the driving component 41 is started, its output end moves in the vertical direction Z, driving the support plate 222 and the first adsorption component 21 mounted on it to rise and fall synchronously through the connecting plate 42. The material of the connecting plate 42 can be high-strength aluminum alloy or carbon fiber plate to reduce weight while ensuring sufficient rigidity. The connection method between the connecting plate 42 and the driving component 41 and the support plate 222 can be bolt fixing or welding to ensure a stable connection.
[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the carrier plate 10 is provided with clearance holes 11. When the lifting structure 40 drives the first adsorption member 21 and the adsorption structure 20 as a whole to move towards the carrier plate 10, some parts of the adsorption structure 20 approach the lower surface of the carrier plate 10. The clearance holes 11 can provide sufficient space to prevent these parts from colliding or being squeezed with the lower surface of the carrier plate 10, ensuring that the adsorption structure 20 can smoothly complete the upward movement without interference from the carrier plate 10.
[0061] When the adsorption structure 20 moves upward under the action of the lifting structure 40, the clearance hole 11 allows a portion of the adsorption structure 20 to pass through it, so that the adsorption structure 20 can continue to rise to the preset height without colliding with the carrier plate 10.
[0062] Along the vertical direction Z, the clearance hole 11 penetrates the carrier plate 10. The clearance hole 11 can be a square hole or a round hole, etc., and there is no limitation. The size of the clearance hole 11 can be designed according to the size of the components that may interfere with the carrier plate 10 when the adsorption structure 20 rises, ensuring that there is a gap between the edge of the clearance hole 11 and the components. In addition, the setting of the clearance hole 11 can also reduce the weight of the carrier plate 10, so as to achieve the weight reduction of the dispensing device 100.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the pusher structure 30 provided in the embodiment of this application. Optionally, the pusher structure 30 includes a mounting frame 32 connected to the carrier plate 10, a second adsorption member 31 disposed on the mounting frame 32, the mounting frame 32 forming an accommodating space 321, and the adsorption structure 20 being at least partially accommodated within the accommodating space 321.
[0064] The mounting frame 32 can be constructed by splicing profiles or welding plates. The specific material can be the same metal material as the carrier plate 10, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, to ensure the strength and consistency of the overall structure of the material distribution device 100. The mounting frame 32 and the carrier plate 10 can be connected by bolts or welding to ensure a stable connection and prevent loosening during the material pushing process.
[0065] The second adsorption element 31 is set on the mounting frame 32. The installation position can be arranged according to the distribution of waste. For example, multiple second adsorption elements 31 are evenly distributed along the edge of the frame at intervals to ensure that the second adsorption element 31 accurately adsorbs the second part 220 of the product 200 and avoids the waste falling off due to the deviation of the adsorption position.
[0066] The accommodating space 321 can be rectangular, circular, or other suitable shapes. Some components of the adsorption structure 20, such as the mounting plate 221, the support plate 222, or parts of the first adsorption element 21, can be housed within the accommodating space 321, causing the pushing structure 30 and the adsorption structure 20 to overlap in the upper part of the vertical direction Z, thus shortening the overall height of the dispensing device 100 and achieving a compact layout. The accommodating space 321 also provides a certain degree of protection for the adsorption structure 20, reducing the impact or contamination of the adsorption structure 20 by external foreign objects.
[0067] Optionally, the mounting frame 32 includes a connecting rod 322 and a fixing plate 323. One end of the connecting rod 322 is connected to the carrier plate 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 322 is connected to the fixing plate 323. A second adsorption member 31 is provided on the fixing plate 323, and the second adsorption member 31 can move horizontally relative to the fixing plate 323.
[0068] One end of the connecting rod 322 can be connected to the carrier plate 10 by bolts or welding, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 323 to form a cantilever structure. Multiple connecting rods 322 can be provided to enhance stability. Multiple connecting rods 322 are evenly distributed along the edge of the fixing plate 323 to form a symmetrical support structure.
[0069] The fixing plate 323 can be a long and slender plate for mounting the second adsorption element 31. Multiple second adsorption elements 31 can be spaced apart on each fixing plate 323. To create an accommodating space 321 within the mounting frame 32, four fixing plates 323 can be used to enclose a rectangular or square frame structure. Two opposite fixing plates 323 can serve as the long sides, and the other two fixing plates 323 as the short sides, together enclosing the central accommodating space 321. The dimensions of the fixing plates 323 can be selected according to the portion that the adsorption structure 20 needs to accommodate, ensuring that the corresponding portion of the adsorption structure 20 can be smoothly embedded into the accommodating space 321 with sufficient room for movement.
[0070] A linear guide rail can be installed on each fixed plate 323. The second adsorption member 31 cooperates with the guide rail through a slider to achieve sliding in the horizontal direction, that is, in the first horizontal direction Y and the second horizontal direction X.
[0071] Optionally, the pushing structure 30 further includes a pushing assembly 324 mounted on the fixed plate 323. The pushing assembly 324 is connected to the second adsorption member 31, and the pushing assembly 324 drives the second adsorption member 31 to move horizontally. The pushing assembly 324 provides power for the horizontal movement of the second adsorption member 31, enabling the second adsorption member 31 to separate and push the waste material.
[0072] Each fixed plate 323 is equipped with a pushing assembly 324, which is connected to the second adsorption member 31. The pushing assembly 324, based on the four-sided layout of the fixed plates 323 on the mounting frame 32, enables the second adsorption member 31 to move in two horizontal directions: the first horizontal direction Y and the second horizontal direction X. That is, pushing assemblies 324 moving along the first horizontal direction Y are installed on the two opposite long fixed plates 323 of the mounting frame 32, while pushing assemblies 324 moving along the second horizontal direction X are installed on the other two opposite short fixed plates 323, thus achieving separation of waste material from different directions.
[0073] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5Optionally, the pushing assembly 324 includes a cylinder 3241 and a support 3242. The cylinder 3241 is mounted on a fixed plate 323. The support 3242 includes a first plate 3242a and a second plate 3242b connected to the first plate 3242a. The first plate 3242a is connected to the cylinder 3241, and the second plate 3242b extends from the first plate 3242a toward the accommodating space 321. A second adsorption element 31 is provided on the second plate 3242b. This pushing assembly 324 is not only compact in structure and occupies little space, but also achieves efficient separation of waste materials through the rapid response of the cylinder 3241 and the reasonable layout of the support 3242.
[0074] The pusher assembly 324 adopts a combination structure of cylinder 3241 and support 3242. Cylinder 3241 serves as the power source, and the cylinder body is fixed to the fixed plate 323 by bolts or welding to ensure that no displacement occurs during reciprocating motion. The piston rod of cylinder 3241 extends horizontally and faces the accommodating space 321. Its end is fixed to the first plate 3242a of support 3242 by threaded connection to ensure effective transmission of driving force.
[0075] The support 3242 can adopt an L-shaped structure design, consisting of a first plate 3242a and a second plate 3242b that are perpendicular to each other. The first plate 3242a is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 3241, and the second plate 3242b extends horizontally from the first plate 3242a toward the accommodating space 321, forming a cantilever structure. The second adsorption member 31 can be fixed to the second plate 3242b by means of threaded holes, slots, etc., to prevent loosening during adsorption. The extension of the second plate 3242b from the first plate 3242a toward the accommodating space 321 makes the overall structure of the dispensing device 100 more compact.
[0076] Each fixed plate 323 may be provided with multiple pushing components 324 at intervals, and each second plate 3242b may be provided with multiple second adsorption elements 31 at intervals, so that the second adsorption elements 31 correspond to multiple different parts of the waste material to achieve synchronous adsorption and pushing.
[0077] When the material distribution device 100 is working, the cylinder 3241 drives the piston rod to extend through air pressure, causing the support 3242 and the second adsorption element 31 to move horizontally toward the waste. After the second adsorption element 31 fixes the waste through vacuum adsorption or electromagnetic adsorption, the piston rod of the cylinder 3241 retracts, causing the support 3242, the second adsorption element 31, and the waste to move horizontally away from the adsorption structure 20, thereby separating the waste from the finished product.
[0078] Optionally, the material distribution device 100 also includes a coupling 50 and a robotic arm (not shown). The coupling 50 is disposed on the side of the carrier plate 10 opposite to the adsorption structure 20. The robotic arm is connected to the carrier plate 10 through the coupling 50 and is used to move the carrier plate 10. The coupling 50 and the robotic arm cooperate to realize the flexible movement and transfer function of the entire material distribution device 100.
[0079] The coupling 50 serves to connect the carrier plate 10 and the robot arm, ensuring stable power transmission and motion trajectory during operation. The coupling 50 is fixed to the carrier plate 10 using bolts. Mounting holes are provided on the side of the carrier plate 10 facing away from the adsorption structure 20. One end of the coupling 50 is fastened to the mounting hole with a bolt, while the other end connects to the robot arm. The robot arm can be a multi-axis industrial robot arm, such as a six-axis robot arm. The robot arm possesses flexible spatial movement capabilities, enabling it to drive the carrier plate 10 to perform complex movements such as translation and rotation in three-dimensional space.
[0080] During material handling, the robotic arm transmits power to the carrier plate 10 via coupling 50, driving the carrier plate 10 to move along a set path toward the material handling position. Once the carrier plate 10 reaches the material handling position, the robotic arm stops moving and remains stable. After the finished product and waste are separated, the robotic arm can move the carrier plate 10 via coupling 50 to transfer the first adsorbent 21 containing the finished product to the designated storage location.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
