At the same time, a guide plate is set on the discharge tray of the press to guide the products. The products are transported sequentially by the guide plate, and multiple products are simultaneously clamped to the tray by the flexible clamp for tray arrangement. Finally, the tray is manually removed, which saves labor costs, reduces the phenomenon of products bumping and knocking due to accumulation, and improves product quality.

[0015] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] See Figures 1 to 8 As shown; This embodiment provides a discharge tray device suitable for a press, wherein the discharge tray device is disposed at the discharge end of the discharge tray 101 of the press 1. The material discharge tray device includes: Robot 3 is integrated into the discharge end of the discharge plate 101 of the press 1. The end of the robot 3 is integrated with a flexible clamping plate 301, and multiple flexible clamps 4 are arranged side by side on the flexible clamping plate 301. The dust collection mechanism 6 is integrated into the lower part of the discharge end of the discharge plate 101 of the press 1, and the dust collection mechanism 6 is used to receive and recycle ceramic powder. Two guide plates 2 are symmetrically arranged near the discharge end of the discharge plate 101 of the press 1, and the channel between the two guide plates 2 is the product discharge channel. The products 10 are arranged sequentially along the product discharge channel. Each flexible clamp 4 clamps one product 10 in the product discharge channel, and multiple products 10 are clamped simultaneously by multiple flexible clamps 4 and transferred to the material tray 7.
[0017] For details, see Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is an improvement on the original press 1. A robot 3 is integrated into the discharge tray 101 of the press 1, and the flexible grippers 4 at the end of the robot 3 are used to transfer and stack the products 10 on the discharge tray 101 of the press 1. In order to cooperate with the robot 3 to realize the sequential discharge and transfer of products 10, two guide plates 2 are set on the discharge tray 101. Using the product discharge channel between the guide plates 2, the products 10 can be arranged sequentially in the product discharge channel under the guidance of the guide plates 2. Finally, multiple flexible grippers 4 at the end of the robot 3 simultaneously grip multiple products 10 and transfer them to the tray 7 for stacking. Finally, the products can be removed manually by removing the tray. This device greatly saves labor and improves the efficiency and accuracy of product discharge and transfer.
[0018] In addition, the product 10 pressed out by the press 1 generally runs in a straight line on the discharge tray 101. However, since there is no flow guiding structure in the prior art, the product 10 running in a straight line will accumulate at the end. Therefore, this embodiment is designed with two flow guiding plates 2 to keep the product 10 at the end of the discharge tray 101 in a straight line at all times, so as to facilitate the subsequent gripping, transfer and tray placement operations of the flexible fixture of the robot 3.
[0019] Preferably, in this embodiment, the bottom of the robot 3 is a robot base 302, and the robot base 302 integrates a robot control box 303 to control the operation of the robot 3; the press 1 integrates a control system 5, and the robot 3 is equipped with a teach pendant 304. The operation of each mechanism in this embodiment is controlled by the control system 5, and the robot base 302 also integrates a robot control box 303 that can control the operation of the robotic arm of the robot 3.
[0020] Preferably, the dust collection mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a dust collection funnel 601 located below the discharge plate 101 of the press 1, and the dust collection funnel 601 has a plurality of dust collection grooves 604, and the bottom of the dust collection funnel 601 is configured as a conical structure, and the interior of the conical structure is hollow to form a dust collection chamber, and the dust collection grooves 604 are in communication with the dust collection chamber; a dust collection pipe 602 connected to the bottom of the dust collection chamber; and a dust collection box 603 located at the end of the dust collection pipe 602.
[0021] Additionally, see Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a dust collection mechanism 6 is integrated below the discharge platen 101 of the press 1. This dust collection mechanism 6 can receive ceramic dust carried out when the product 10 is discharged and collect the ceramic dust in the dust collection box 603. For details, see... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the dust collection mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a dust collection funnel 601 at the top, and the upper end surface of the dust collection funnel 601 has a plurality of dust collection grooves 604 spaced apart. Ceramic dust can enter the dust collection funnel 601 through the dust collection grooves 604, and the ceramic dust is collected in the dust collection box 603 by means of the dust collection pipe 602.
[0022] Preferably, in this embodiment, the end of the robotic arm of the robot 3 is connected to a flexible gripper integration disk 301, and a plurality of flexible grippers 4 are integrated on the edge of the flexible gripper integration disk 301 near one side. In this embodiment, the flexible clamp 4 is model CM-SN51011B, and the flexible clamp 4 clamps and releases the product 10 by changing the internal air pressure. The flexible clamp 4 in this embodiment achieves clamping by changing the internal air pressure; that is, when the internal pressure is positive, the jaws open; and when the internal pressure is negative, the jaws retract.
[0023] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, preferably, the flexible clamp 4 in this embodiment includes an air passage connector 401, which is located at the center of the upper end of the flexible clamp 4; an air bladder portion 402 communicating with the air passage connector 401; and three claw portions 403 formed at the lower end of the air bladder portion 402 and evenly distributed along the circumference of the air bladder portion 402. The specific control method for the flexible fixture 4 during operation is as follows: When an external air source supplies gas into the airbag section 402 through the air connector 401, a positive pressure environment is formed inside the airbag section 402. This positive pressure environment drives the three claws 403 to open outward, and the space between the three claws 403 is the clamping space of the product 10. When an external air source draws gas from the inside of the airbag 402 through the air connector 401 to create a negative pressure environment inside the airbag 402, the three claws 403 are driven to contract inward to clamp the product 10 by the negative pressure environment.
[0024] In addition, for the purpose of protecting the device, the control system 5 of this embodiment is also equipped with an air switch, which will automatically disconnect as long as the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current. In addition to completing the contact and disconnection of the circuit, it can also protect against short circuits, severe overloads and undervoltages in the circuit or electrical equipment, and can also be used to start the motor infrequently.

The press 1 outputs a signal once for each operation and connects the signal to the general control board. The STM detects the number of times the press 1 has been operated through the control board.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, this example may also integrate a three-color buzzer alarm into the device, specifically composed of red, yellow, and green lights, used to indicate device status and warning information to ensure safe operation; the specific functions of the three-color buzzer alarm are as follows: Red light: usually indicates that the equipment is stopped or malfunctioning and needs to be dealt with immediately; Yellow light: Indicates a warning or warning; the device may be in standby mode or requires attention. Green light: Indicates that the equipment is operating normally, in good condition, and safe to use.

At the same time, a guide plate 2 is set on the discharge plate 101 of the press 1 to guide the products 10. The products 10 are transported sequentially by the guide plate 2. Multiple products 10 are simultaneously clamped by the flexible clamp 4 and placed on the material tray 7 for stacking. Finally, the tray is manually removed, which saves labor costs, reduces the phenomenon of collision between products 10 due to stacking, and improves the quality of products 10.
