Laminating production line and laminating production line control method TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field, and particularly relates to a laminating production line and a laminating production line control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) pressing process is a key process for manufacturing a PCB board, and the solidification molding of the PCB board can be realized through a PCB production line. The PCB production line includes an upper and lower feeding port, a hot press, a cold press, a temporary storage rack and a carrying vehicle and the like. The laminated PCB assembly can be transferred by the carrying vehicle to sequentially complete feeding, hot pressing, cold pressing and discharging. In the prior art, the laminated PCB assembly is first placed on the temporary storage rack by the worker, and then the carrying vehicle grasps the PCB assembly on the temporary storage rack and sequentially transports it to the hot press and the cold press. Finally, the formed PCB board is transported back to the temporary storage rack to complete the whole process of PCB pressing. As can be seen, the PCB pressing production line includes many devices, and the space for the worker to move is also reserved while the devices are distributed, so that the land area of the whole production line is too large, which causes that the PCB pressing production line cannot be arranged in an environment with a small land area. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the present application provides a laminating production line and a laminating production line control method to solve the technical problem of the large land area of the PCB pressing production line in the prior art.

[0004] The present application provides a laminating production line, which comprises a feeding and discharging mechanism, a laminating machine and a transfer device. The feeding and discharging mechanism is used for feeding and discharging workpieces. The laminating machine is used for laminating workpieces. The transfer device is located between the feeding and discharging mechanism and the laminating machine. The transfer device comprises a fixed frame, a walking device, a temporary storage device and a grabbing device. The walking device is located at the bottom of the fixed frame, so that the transfer device can move along a preset path.

[0005] The temporary storage device and the grabbing device are installed on the fixed frame. The temporary storage device is used for temporarily storing workpieces. The grabbing device can drive the workpieces temporarily stored by the temporary storage device to move towards the laminating machine along a first direction x, so as to push the workpieces out of the temporary storage device to the laminating machine. The grabbing device can also drive the workpieces to move away from the laminating machine along the first direction x, so as to pull the workpieces back from the laminating machine to the temporary storage device.

[0006] In the embodiment of the present application, the transfer equipment can realize the transfer work of the workpieces through the laminating production line, which is conducive to improving the overall automation degree of the laminating production line, thereby improving the working efficiency of the laminating production line, and through the temporary storage device and the grabbing device, the automatic feeding and discharging of the workpieces between the laminating machine and the transfer equipment is realized, which is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of the workpieces in the feeding and discharging process, and through the automatic working mode, the repeated calibration steps of the workpieces in the transfer process are reduced, which is conducive to further shortening the processing time of the workpieces by the laminating production line, and at the same time, the demand for labor of the laminating production line can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing labor costs and more in line with actual use requirements.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the temporary storage device has a plurality of partitions, and the plurality of partitions are distributed along the second direction y, and adjacent two partitions enclose a temporary storage area for temporarily storing workpieces.

[0008] In the embodiment of the present application, the partitions can support the workpieces, and along the second direction y, adjacent two partitions can enclose a temporary storage area, so that a plurality of workpieces can be stored in the temporary storage device at the same time, thereby improving the carrying capacity of the transfer equipment, and at the same time, a plurality of workpieces can be placed in the laminating machine simultaneously under the action of the transfer equipment, so as to realize the simultaneous processing of a plurality of workpieces by the laminating production line, which is conducive to further improving the processing efficiency of the workpieces by the laminating production line.

[0009] Therefore, the transfer equipment can realize the transfer of a large number of workpieces through a plurality of temporary storage areas enclosed by a plurality of partitions, so as to improve the carrying capacity of the transfer equipment, and in the process of processing the workpieces, a plurality of workpieces can be laminated in the laminating machine at the same time, which is conducive to further improving the working efficiency of the laminating production line.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the transfer equipment further comprises a lifting device, the lifting device is connected with the temporary storage device, and the lifting device can drive the temporary storage device to move along the second direction y, so that each temporary storage area can be aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism.

[0011] In the embodiment of the present application, the lifting device is installed on the fixed frame and is located above the temporary storage device along the second direction y, and the lifting device is connected with the temporary storage device, so that the lifting device can drive the temporary storage device to move along the second direction y, so that the temporary storage area is aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer work of the workpieces between the feeding and discharging mechanism and the transfer equipment, or the temporary storage area is aligned with the laminating machine along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer work of the workpieces between the laminating machine and the transfer equipment.

[0012] Therefore, the transfer device can drive the temporary storage device to move along the second direction y through the lifting device, so that the automatic storage and automatic release of the workpiece by the temporary storage device can be realized in the process of feeding and discharging the workpiece on the transfer device, so as to improve the automation degree of the transfer device, and the workpiece does not need to be manually put into the temporary storage device or taken out of the temporary storage device, so as to reduce the labor cost and improve the working efficiency of the laminating production line.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the transfer device further comprises a conveying device, which is aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism along the second direction y, and is used to convey the workpiece from the feeding and discharging mechanism to the temporary storage area.

[0014] In the embodiment, the conveying device is installed on the fixed frame and is located below the temporary storage device along the second direction y. When the transfer device is located at a position corresponding to the feeding and discharging mechanism, the conveying device can cooperate with the feeding and discharging mechanism to convey the workpiece into the transfer device or to the feeding and discharging mechanism. Specifically, the conveying device can be aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism along the second direction y, so that the workpiece is more stable and reliable during conveying, and the safety of conveying the workpiece between the feeding and discharging mechanism and the transfer device can be improved.

[0015] Therefore, the transfer device can realize the automatic feeding or automatic discharging of the workpiece between the feeding and discharging mechanism and the transfer device through the cooperation between the conveying device and the feeding and discharging mechanism, so that the workpiece does not need to be manually fed or discharged, which is beneficial to save the time for repositioning and calibration of the workpiece during feeding and discharging, and improve the working efficiency of transferring the workpiece between the feeding and discharging mechanism and the transfer device.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the temporary storage area comprises a first temporary storage area, which is a temporary storage area aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism, the laminating production line further comprises a control device, and the transfer device further comprises a first detection device, which is used to detect whether there is a workpiece in the first temporary storage area. The control device is used to control the conveying device to stop and control the lifting device to rise or fall by a preset distance when the first detection device detects that there is a workpiece in the first temporary storage area.

[0017] In the embodiment of the present application, after the lifting device drives the temporary storage device to move upwards or downwards along the second direction y, the next temporary storage area will be aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism along the second direction y as a new first temporary storage area, so as to complete the feeding or discharging work of the next workpiece. The laminating production line is further provided with a control device, and the transfer device further comprises a first detection device electrically or signal connected with the control device. Specifically, the first detection device is installed on the conveying device and is used to detect whether there is a workpiece in the first temporary storage area. The control device is used to control the conveying device to stop when the first detection device detects that there is a workpiece in the first temporary storage area, and control the lifting device to rise or fall by a preset distance.

[0018] Therefore, the transfer device can realize automatic control of the lifting device and the conveying device through the first detection device and the control device, so as to realize the feeding or discharging work of the workpiece. The first detection device is more sensitive than the detection of the first temporary storage area, which can reduce the possibility that the workpiece stays in the first temporary storage area for too long, thereby improving the reliability of the transfer device in the working process and being more in line with the actual use requirements.

[0019] In a possible implementation, each of the partitions comprises a first partition and a second partition spaced apart along a third direction z, and along the third direction z, the conveying device is located between the first partition and the second partition, and the detection device comprises a photoelectric sensor located between the first partition and the second partition and on a side of the conveying device close to the walking device along the second direction y.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, when the workpiece is located in the first temporary storage area, the two ends of the workpiece along the third direction z can be placed on the first partition and the second partition respectively, so that the workpiece can be supported by the first partition and the second partition during the movement of the workpiece along the second direction y driven by the temporary storage device, thereby reducing the possibility of the workpiece falling from the temporary storage device and improving the stability and safety of the workpiece in the temporary storage device. At the same time, the first partition and the second partition are distributed on both sides of the conveying device along the third direction z, so that a hollow structure is formed between the first partition and the second partition, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the temporary storage device while retaining the supporting effect of the temporary storage device, reducing the manufacturing difficulty and production cost of the temporary storage device, and the hollow structure between the first partition and the second partition also facilitates the detection of the first detection device on the first temporary storage area.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the grabbing device comprises a plurality of grabbing parts spaced apart along the second direction y, and the plurality of grabbing parts are correspondingly arranged with the plurality of temporary storage areas and used to drive the temporarily stored workpieces to move.

[0022] In the embodiment, when the grabbing part is aligned with the temporary storage area along the second direction y, the grabbing part is also aligned with the laminating machine along the second direction y. The grabbing part can be connected with the workpiece in the temporary storage area or the workpiece in the processing area of the laminating machine, so as to realize synchronous rotation of the workpieces and improve the processing efficiency of the workpieces in the laminating production line.

[0023] Therefore, the transfer device can realize synchronous grabbing of the workpieces through the grabbing parts, so as to improve the work efficiency during the feeding and discharging of the laminating machine. The feeding and discharging of the workpieces between the transfer device and the laminating machine can be realized through cooperation of the second detection device and the control device. The automatic control placement can improve the matching accuracy of the workpieces during the transfer process, and the position and angle of the workpieces do not need to be repeatedly calibrated, so that a large amount of calibration time is saved, and the processing efficiency of the workpieces in the laminating production line is improved, which is more in line with the actual use requirements.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the grabbing part and one of the workpieces are provided with a clamping block, and the other is provided with a clamping groove. The grabbing part and the workpiece are clamped through cooperation of the clamping block and the clamping groove.

[0025] In the embodiment, the grabbing part and the workpiece can be connected and disconnected through clamping during the connection. The clamping connection has the characteristics of simple structure and easy implementation, so that the grabbing device has the functions of pushing the workpiece into the laminating machine and pulling the workpiece back into the temporary storage device, which is beneficial to reduce the design and manufacturing cost of the grabbing device.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the grabbing device further includes a first driving member and a second driving member. The first driving member is installed on the fixed frame. The first driving member and the second driving member are connected with the grabbing part. The first driving member can drive the grabbing part and the second driving member to move along the first direction x, so as to push or pull the workpiece into or out of the laminating machine. The second driving member can drive the grabbing part to move along the second direction y, so as to clamp or unclamp the clamping block and the clamping groove.

[0027] In the embodiment, the grabbing device can realize connection between the grabbing part and the workpiece through the second driving member, and realize transfer of the workpiece under the driving of the first driving member, which is beneficial to improve the automation degree of the transfer device and reduce the possibility of falling or deviation of the workpiece during the transfer process, and improve the safety and reliability of the workpiece during the transfer process.

[0028] Therefore, the transfer device can realize automatic feeding and discharging of the laminating machine through the grabbing device, and the degree of automation of the transfer device is improved. The control accuracy of the workpiece during the transfer process can be improved through the first driving member and the second driving member, so that the workpiece can be accurately moved to the preset position in the laminating machine or the preset position of the temporary storage device under the driving of the grabbing device, and the transfer process is more stable and reliable. At the same time, the automatic control mode can also reduce the possibility of falling or bumping of the workpiece during the transfer process, and improve the safety of the workpiece during the transfer process.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the laminating machine includes at least one hot press and at least one cold press, and the laminating production line further includes a track. The feeding and discharging mechanism and the laminating machine are distributed on both sides of the track in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the track, and the transfer device can move along the track.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding and discharging mechanism and the laminating machine are distributed on both sides of the track in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the track, so that one side of the laminating production line is used for feeding and discharging the workpiece, and the other side is used for processing the workpiece, thereby avoiding the intersection of the processing flow, reducing the transportation cost of the transfer device, and further improving the smoothness of the laminating production line as a whole. Specifically, the feeding port, the discharging port, the hot press and the cold press can be arranged on both sides of the track in the order of the workpiece flow. When the transfer device moves along the track according to the preset path, the transfer device can pass through the feeding port, the hot press, the cold press and the discharging port in turn, so that the cooperation between the processes in the laminating production line is more closely, the movement distance of the transfer device is reduced, and the floor area is further reduced, and the space utilization is improved.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, along the extension direction perpendicular to the track 5, the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 and the laminating machine 2 are distributed on both sides of the track 5, so that one side of the laminating production line is used for feeding and discharging the workpieces 4, and the other side is used for processing the workpieces 4, thereby avoiding the intersection of the processing flow, reducing the transportation cost of the transfer equipment 3, and further improving the smoothness of the laminating production line as a whole when working. Specifically, the feeding port 11, the discharging port 12, the hot press 21 and the cold press 22 can be arranged on both sides of the track 5 according to the sequence of the workpiece 4 flow. When the transfer equipment 3 moves along the track 5 according to the preset path, the transfer equipment 3 can pass through the feeding port 11, the hot press 21, the cold press 22 and the discharging port 12 in turn, so that the cooperation between each process in the laminating production line is more closely, the movement distance of the transfer equipment 3 is reduced, and the floor area can be further reduced and the space utilization rate can be improved.

On one side of the track 5, the plurality of hot presses 21 and the plurality of cold presses 22 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the track 5. On the other side of the track 5, the feeding port 11 and the unloading port 12 are adjacently arranged or arranged at both ends of the track 5 along the extension direction of the track 5.

[0103] For example, during the process of laminating the workpieces 4 in the laminating production line, the transfer device 3 moves along the track 5 to a position corresponding to the feeding port 11, and the feeding port 11 feeds the first batch of workpieces 4 to be laminated. After the transfer device 3 is loaded, the transfer device 3 moves along the track 5 to a position corresponding to the hot press 21, and transfers the first batch of workpieces 4 to be laminated into the hot press 21, so that the hot press 21 hot-presses the first batch of workpieces 4 to be laminated.

[0104] During the hot-pressing of the hot press 21, the transfer device 3 can move along the track 5 to a position corresponding to the feeding port 11, and the feeding port 11 feeds the second batch of workpieces 4 to be laminated. After the transfer device 3 is loaded, it is transferred to other hot presses 21 for hot-pressing. Alternatively, the transfer device 3 can also move along the track 5 to a position corresponding to other hot presses 21, and the transfer device 3 unloads the last batch of workpieces 4 that have been hot-pressed.

When the transfer device 3 is located at a position corresponding to the loading and unloading mechanism 1, the conveying device 36 can cooperate with the loading and unloading mechanism 1 to convey the workpiece 4 into the transfer device 3 or to convey the workpiece 4 to the loading and unloading mechanism 1.

[0114] Specifically, the conveying device 36 can be aligned with the loading and unloading mechanism 1 along the second direction y, so that the workpiece 4 is more stable and reliable during conveying, which is beneficial to improve the safety of the workpiece 4 during conveying between the loading and unloading mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3.

[0115] In a possible implementation, the conveying device 36 is provided with a buffer station, taking the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the loading and unloading mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3 as an example.

[0116] During the loading of the transfer device 3, the workpiece 4 is driven by the loading port 11 to move along the first direction x towards the temporary storage device 33, so that at least part of the workpiece 4 is located on the conveying device 36, and the workpiece 4 continues to move along the first direction x into the temporary storage area 332 under the driving of the conveying device 36 and the loading port 11, so that the workpiece 4 is located in the buffer station, and when the workpiece 4 moves to the buffer station, the workpiece 4 is completely located in the temporary storage area 332, thereby completing the transfer of the workpiece 4 from the loading port 11 to the transfer device 3.

[0117] During the unloading of the transfer device 3, the workpiece 4 is driven by the conveying device 36 to move along the first direction x towards the unloading port 12, so that at least part of the workpiece 4 moves out of the buffer station, and then the workpiece 4 continues to move along the first direction x towards the unloading port 12 under the driving of the conveying device 36 and the loading port 11, so that the workpiece 4 moves out of the transfer device 3, and when the workpiece 4 moves to the unloading port 12, the transfer of the workpiece 4 from the transfer device 3 to the unloading port 12 is completed.

[0118] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can realize automatic loading or automatic unloading of the workpiece 4 between the loading and unloading mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3 through the cooperation between the conveying device 36 and the loading and unloading mechanism 1, so that the workpiece 4 can be loaded and unloaded without manual operation, which is beneficial to save the time for repositioning and calibration of the workpiece 4 during loading and unloading, and to improve the work efficiency of the workpiece 4 during transfer between the loading and unloading mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3.

[0121] In the embodiment, the lifting device 35 is installed on the fixed frame 31 and located above the temporary storage device 33 along the second direction y. The lifting device 35 is connected with the temporary storage device 33, so that the lifting device 35 can drive the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y, thereby aligning the temporary storage area 332 with the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3, or aligning the temporary storage area 332 with the laminating machine 2 along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the laminating machine 2 and the transfer device 3.

[0122] Specifically, when the temporary storage device 33 has a plurality of temporary storage areas 332 spaced apart along the second direction y, the lifting device 35 can align any one of the temporary storage areas 332 in the temporary storage device 33 with the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the second direction y, taking the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 and the transfer device 3 as an example.

[0123] In the process of feeding the transfer device 3, when the workpiece 4 is moved into the temporary storage area 332 under the driving of the feeding port 11 and the conveying device 36, the lifting device 35 can drive the temporary storage device 33 to move upward along the second direction y, so that the next temporary storage area 332 is aligned with the feeding port 11 along the second direction y, so as to feed the next workpiece 4 by the feeding port 11.

[0124] In the process of discharging the transfer device 3, when the workpiece 4 is moved onto the discharging port 12 under the driving of the conveying device 36 and the discharging port 12, the lifting device 35 can drive the temporary storage device 33 to move downward along the second direction y, so that the next temporary storage area 332 is aligned with the discharging port 12 along the second direction y, so as to discharge the next workpiece 4 by the transfer device 3.

[0125] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can drive the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y through the lifting device 35, so that the automatic storage and automatic release of the workpieces 4 by the temporary storage device 33 can be realized in the process of feeding and discharging the workpieces 4 on the transfer device 3, so as to improve the automation degree of the transfer device 3, and the workpieces 4 do not need to be manually put into the temporary storage device 33 or taken out from the temporary storage device 33, so as to reduce the labor cost and improve the working efficiency of the laminating production line.

[0126] In a possible implementation, the fixing frame 31 is provided with a plurality of guide columns extending along the second direction y, and the temporary storage device 33 is provided with a plurality of guide sleeves, and the fixing frame 31 and the temporary storage device 33 are slidably connected through the cooperation of the guide columns and the guide sleeves, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the movement of the temporary storage device 33 along the second direction y.

[0128] In the embodiment, the partitions 331 can support the workpieces 4, and adjacent two partitions 331 can enclose the above-mentioned temporary storage area 332 along the second direction y, so that a plurality of workpieces 4 can be simultaneously stored in the temporary storage device 33, so as to improve the carrying capacity of the transfer device 3, and meanwhile, the plurality of workpieces 4 can be simultaneously put into the hot press 21 or the cold press 22 under the action of the transfer device 3, so as to realize the simultaneous processing of the plurality of workpieces 4 by the laminating production line, which is beneficial to further improve the processing efficiency of the workpieces 4 by the laminating production line.

[0129] In the process of feeding the transfer device 3, the lifting device 35 drives the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y, so that the partition 331 is flush with the upper surface of the conveying device 36, at this time, the temporary storage area 332 enclosed by the partition 331 and the adjacent partition 331 is aligned with the feeding port 11 along the second direction y, and the workpiece 4 can be driven by the feeding port 11 and the conveying device 36 to move along the first direction x towards the direction close to the temporary storage area 332, after the workpiece 4 moves into the temporary storage area 332, at least part of the workpiece 4 is located on the partition 331, the lifting device 35 drives the temporary storage device 33 to move upward along the second direction y, so that the workpiece 4 can be stored in the temporary storage device 33 under the action of the partition 331, so as to realize the feeding of the workpiece 4. At the same time, the next partition 331 is flush with the upper surface of the conveying device 36, and the next temporary storage area 332 is aligned with the feeding port 11 along the second direction y, so as to feed the next workpiece 4.

[0130] In the process of unloading the transfer device 3, the lifting device 35 drives the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y so that the partition plate 331 is flush with the upper surface of the conveying device 36, at this time, the temporary storage area 332 surrounded by the partition plate 331 and the adjacent partition plate 331 is aligned with the unloading port 12 along the second direction y, and the workpiece 4 is placed on the conveying device 36 under the driving of the partition plate 331, the workpiece 4 can move along the first direction x away from the temporary storage area 332 under the driving of the conveying device 36 and the unloading port 12, and after the workpiece 4 moves to the unloading port 12, the unloading of the workpiece 4 is realized. At the same time, the lifting device 35 drives the temporary storage device 33 to move downward along the second direction y, so that the workpiece 4 in the next temporary storage area 332 can be located on the conveying device 36 under the driving of the partition plate 331, so as to unload the next workpiece 4.

[0131] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can realize the transfer of a large number of workpieces 4 through the plurality of temporary storage areas 332 surrounded by the plurality of partition plates 331, so as to improve the carrying capacity of the transfer device 3, and in the process of processing the workpieces 4, a plurality of workpieces 4 can be simultaneously laminated in the laminator 2, which is beneficial to further improve the working efficiency of the laminating production line.

[0132] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the temporary storage area 332 includes a first temporary storage area, which is the temporary storage area 332 aligned with the feeding and unloading mechanism 1, that is, when the workpiece 4 is located in the buffer station of the conveying device 36, the workpiece 4 is also located in the first temporary storage area.

[0133] In the embodiment, when the lifting device 35 drives the temporary storage device 33 to move upward or downward along the second direction y, the next temporary storage area 332 will be aligned with the feeding and unloading mechanism 1 along the second direction y as a new first temporary storage area, so as to complete the feeding or unloading work of the next workpiece 4.

[0134] The laminating production line is further provided with a control device, and the transfer device 3 further includes a first detection device, which is electrically connected or signal connected with the control device. Specifically, the first detection device is installed on the conveying device 36 and is used to detect whether there is a workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and the control device is used to control the conveying device 36 to stop when the first detection device detects that there is a workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and control the lifting device 35 to rise or fall by a preset distance.

[0135] In the process of feeding the workpiece 4 to the transfer device 3, when the workpiece 4 is moved to the temporary storage station under the driving of the feeding port 11 and the conveying device 36, the first detection device can detect the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time, so that the control device controls the conveying device 36 to stop moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, and controls the lifting device 35 to move upward in the second direction y by a preset distance, so as to realize the storage of the workpiece 4 by the temporary storage device 33, thereby completing the feeding of the workpiece 4. When the first detection device does not detect the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time, so that the control device controls the conveying device 36 to start moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, thereby driving the next workpiece 4 to move in the first direction x towards the first temporary storage area, so as to feed the next workpiece 4.

[0136] In the process of feeding the workpiece 4 to the transfer device 3, when the workpiece 4 is moved to the temporary storage station under the driving of the feeding port 11 and the conveying device 36, the first detection device can detect the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time, so that the control device controls the conveying device 36 to stop moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, and controls the lifting device 35 to move upward in the second direction y by a preset distance, so as to realize the storage of the workpiece 4 by the temporary storage device 33, thereby completing the feeding of the workpiece 4. When the first detection device does not detect the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time, so that the control device controls the conveying device 36 to start moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, thereby driving the next workpiece 4 to move in the first direction x towards the first temporary storage area, so as to feed the next workpiece 4.

[0137] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can realize the automatic control of the lifting device 35 and the conveying device 36 through the first detection device and the control device, thereby realizing the feeding and discharging of the workpiece 4. The first detection device is more sensitive than the detection of the first temporary storage area, which can reduce the possibility of the workpiece 4 staying in the first temporary storage area for too long, thereby improving the reliability of the transfer device 3 in the working process and being more in line with the actual use requirements.

[0138] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each partition plate 331 includes a first partition plate 331a and a second partition plate 331b spaced apart in the third direction z, and the conveying device 36 is located between the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b in the third direction z.

[0139] In the embodiment, when the workpiece 4 is located in the first temporary storage area, the two ends of the workpiece 4 along the third direction z can be placed on the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b respectively, so that the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b can support the workpiece 4 during the movement of the temporary storage device 33 along the second direction y, thereby reducing the possibility of the workpiece 4 falling from the temporary storage device 33 and improving the stability and safety of the workpiece 4 in the temporary storage device 33.

[0140] Meanwhile, the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b are distributed on both sides of the conveying device 36 along the third direction z, so that a hollow structure is formed between the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the temporary storage device 33 while retaining the supporting effect of the temporary storage device 33, reducing the manufacturing difficulty and production cost of the temporary storage device 33, and the hollow structure between the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b also facilitates the detection of the first detection device on the first temporary storage area.

[0141] Specifically, the first detection device can be installed between the first partition plate 331a and the second partition plate 331b and on the side of the conveying device 36 close to the walking device 32 along the second direction y, so that the first detection device can detect the first temporary storage area in real time. The first detection device can be a photoelectric sensor. When the workpiece 4 moves into the first temporary storage area, the workpiece 4 can block the first detection device, so that the control device can determine that the workpiece 4 exists in the first temporary storage area according to the detection result of the first detection device at this time, thereby controlling the conveying device 36 to stop or start moving and controlling the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y, so as to complete the feeding or unloading of the workpiece 4.

[0142] In a possible implementation, the transfer device 3 further comprises a second detection device installed on each first partition plate 331a and / or each second partition plate 331b for detecting whether the workpiece 4 exists in each temporary storage area 332, and the second detection device can be electrically connected or signal connected with the control device, and the control device can control the movement of the transfer device 3 according to the detection result of the second detection device.

[0143] For example, when the temporary storage device 33 is in a full state, the second detection device can detect that each of the partitions 331 in the temporary storage device 33 has a workpiece 4 placed thereon, and the second detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time, so that the control device controls the lifting device 35 to start driving the temporary storage device 33 to move upward to be aligned with the laminating machine 2 along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the transfer equipment 3 and the laminating machine 2, or the control device controls the lifting device 35 to start driving the temporary storage device 33 to move downward to be aligned with the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the second direction y, so as to realize the transfer of the workpiece 4 between the transfer equipment 3 and the feeding and discharging mechanism 1.

[0144] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the grabbing device 34 includes a plurality of grabbing portions 343, which are spaced apart along the second direction y and correspond to the plurality of temporary storage areas 332, and are used to drive the temporarily stored workpieces 4 to move.

[0145] In the embodiment, when the grabbing portion 343 is aligned with the temporary storage area 332 along the second direction y, the grabbing portion 343 is also aligned with the laminating machine 2 along the second direction y. Each grabbing portion 343 can be connected to the workpiece 4 in the corresponding temporary storage area 332 or the workpiece 4 in the corresponding processing area of the laminating machine 2, so as to realize the synchronous transfer of the plurality of workpieces 4, which is beneficial to further improve the processing efficiency of the workpieces 4 in the laminating production line.

[0146] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer equipment 3 can realize the synchronous grabbing of the plurality of workpieces 4 through the plurality of grabbing portions 343, so as to improve the work efficiency during the feeding and discharging of the laminating machine 2. The transfer equipment 3 can realize the feeding and discharging of the workpieces 4 between the transfer equipment 3 and the laminating machine 2 through the cooperation of the second detection device and the control device, and the automatic control placement can improve the cooperation precision of the workpieces 4 during the transfer, so that the position and angle of the workpieces 4 do not need to be repeatedly calibrated, a large amount of calibration time is saved, the processing efficiency of the workpieces 4 in the laminating production line is improved, and the actual use requirement is met.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping portion 343 and the workpiece 4 can be matched or disengaged by clamping during the detachable connection of the clamping portion 343 and the workpiece 4. The clamping matching connection has the characteristics of simple structure and easy implementation, so that the grabbing device 34 has the functions of pushing the workpiece 4 into the laminating machine 2 and pulling the workpiece 4 back into the temporary storage device 33, which is beneficial to reduce the design and manufacturing cost of the grabbing device 34.

[0149] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the grabbing device 34 further comprises a first driving member 341 and a second driving member 342.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping block can be arranged on the clamping portion 343, and the clamping groove can be arranged on the workpiece 4. During the clamping of the clamping portion 343 and the workpiece 4, the grabbing device 34 can realize the connection between the two by the second driving member 342, and realize the transfer of the workpiece 4 under the driving of the first driving member 341, which is beneficial to improve the automation degree of the transfer equipment 3, and can also reduce the possibility of falling or deviation of the workpiece 4 during the transfer process, and improve the safety and reliability of the workpiece 4 during the transfer process.

At this time, the clamping block of the clamping portion 343 is aligned with the clamping groove of the workpiece 4 along the second direction y. The control device controls the second driving member 342 to start, so as to drive the clamping portion 343 to move along the second direction y towards the workpiece 4, and stop moving when the clamping portion 343 is clamped with the workpiece 4. At this time, the clamping portion 343 and the workpiece 4 are connected.

At this time, the workpiece 4 is completely located in the processing area of the laminating machine 2, the control device controls the second driving part 342 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the second direction y towards the direction away from the workpiece 4, and stop moving after the grabbing part 343 is disconnected with the workpiece 4. At this time, the grabbing part 343 is completely separated from the workpiece 4.

[0153] After the grabbing part 343 is completely separated from the workpiece 4, according to the preset program, the control device controls the first driving part 341 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the first direction x towards the direction away from the laminating machine 2, and stop after the grabbing part 343 moves to the initial position. At this time, the feeding work of the laminating machine 2 is completed.

[0154] In the process of discharging the laminating machine 2, according to the preset program, the control device controls the first driving part 341 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the first direction x towards the direction close to the laminating machine 2, and stop moving after the grabbing part 343 moves to the position aligned with the workpiece 4 along the second direction y. At this time, the clamping block of the grabbing part 343 is aligned with the clamping groove of the workpiece 4 along the second direction y, the control device controls the second driving part 342 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the second direction y towards the direction close to the workpiece 4, and stop moving after the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4. At this time, the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4.

[0155] After the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4, according to the preset program, the control device controls the first driving part 341 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 and the workpiece 4 to move along the first direction x towards the direction away from the laminating machine 2, and stop when the workpiece 4 moves to the preset position in the temporary storage device 33. At this time, the workpiece 4 is completely located in the temporary storage area 332 of the temporary storage device 33, the control device controls the second driving part 342 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the second direction y towards the direction away from the workpiece 4, and stop moving after the grabbing part 343 is disconnected with the workpiece 4. At this time, the grabbing part 343 is completely separated from the workpiece 4.

[0156] After the grabbing part 343 is completely separated from the workpiece 4, according to the preset program, the control device controls the first driving part 341 to start, so as to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the first direction x towards the direction away from the laminating machine 2, and stop after the grabbing part 343 moves to the initial position. At this time, the feeding work of the laminating machine 2 is completed.

[0157] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can realize automatic feeding and discharging of the laminating machine 2 through the grabbing device 34, and the degree of automation of the transfer device 3 is improved. The control accuracy of the workpiece 4 in the transfer process is improved through the first driving member 341 and the second driving member 342, so that the workpiece 4 can be accurately moved to the preset position in the laminating machine 2 or the preset position of the temporary storage device 33 under the driving of the grabbing device 34, so that the transfer process is more stable and reliable. At the same time, the automatic control mode can also reduce the possibility of falling or bumping of the workpiece 4 in the transfer process, and improve the safety of the workpiece 4 in the transfer process.

[0158] In a possible implementation, the first driving member 341 is separately connected with each grabbing part 343, and a corresponding second driving member 342 is connected below each grabbing part 343 along the second direction y, so that each grabbing part 343 can move along the first direction x and the second direction y independently, which is beneficial to improve the intelligence of the transfer device 3.

[0159] For example, in the case that the temporary storage device 33 simultaneously includes an idle temporary storage area 332, a temporary storage area 332 storing workpieces 4 to be laminated, a temporary storage area 332 storing workpieces 4 after hot pressing, and a temporary storage area 332 storing workpieces 4 after cold pressing, according to a preset program, when the transfer device 3 needs to transfer the workpieces 4 to be laminated to the hot press 21 for hot pressing, the control device controls the transfer device 3 to move to a position corresponding to the hot press 21, and only controls the first driving member 341 and the second driving member 342 corresponding to the temporary storage area 332 storing the workpieces 4 to be laminated to move, so as to convey the workpieces 4 to be laminated in the temporary storage device 33 to the hot press 21 for hot pressing. Therefore, the transfer device 3 has high automation and intelligence to meet more complex working conditions in the production process.

[0160] The embodiment of the present application also provides a laminating production line control method for controlling the laminating production line to process the workpiece 4.

[0164] The grabbing device 34 is controlled to transfer the workpiece 4 to be laminated in the temporary storage area 332 to the laminating machine 2;

[0165] After the processing of the laminating machine 2 is completed, the control transfer equipment 3 transfers the finished workpiece 4 to the feeding and discharging mechanism 1.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, the workpiece 4 can be automatically processed in the laminating production line through the above-mentioned laminating production line control method. Specifically, according to the preset program, the transfer equipment 3 moves to the position corresponding to the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the track 5 under the control of the control device, and controls the temporary storage device 33 to align with the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the second direction y, so that the workpiece 4 to be laminated moves to the temporary storage area 332 under the driving of the feeding and discharging mechanism 1, thereby completing the feeding work.

[0167] After the transfer equipment 3 completes the feeding work, the transfer equipment 3 moves to the position corresponding to the laminating machine 2 along the track 5 under the control of the control device, and controls the grabbing device 34 to transfer the workpiece 4 to be laminated in the temporary storage area 332 to the laminating machine 2, so that the laminating machine 2 laminates the workpiece 4 to be laminated, thereby completing the lamination of the workpiece 4 to be laminated.

[0168] After the laminating machine 2 completes the lamination, the grabbing device 34 transfers the finished workpiece 4 from the laminating machine 2 to the temporary storage area 332 under the control of the control device, and controls the transfer equipment 3 to move to the position corresponding to the feeding and discharging mechanism 1 along the track 5, so as to transfer the finished workpiece 4 to the feeding and discharging mechanism 1, thereby completing the discharging work.

[0169] Therefore, in the embodiment, the laminating production line can realize the transfer work of the workpiece 4 through the transfer equipment 3, which is conducive to improving the overall automation degree of the laminating production line, thereby improving the working efficiency of the laminating production line, and realizing the automatic feeding and discharging of the workpiece 4 between the laminating machine 2 and the transfer equipment 3 through the temporary storage device 33 and the grabbing device 34, which is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of the workpiece 4 in the feeding and discharging process. Through the automatic working mode, the step of repeatedly calibrating the workpiece 4 in the transfer process is also reduced, which is conducive to further shortening the processing time of the workpiece 4 in the laminating production line, and also can reduce the demand for labor in the laminating production line, which is conducive to reducing labor costs and more in line with actual use requirements.

At this time, the first detection device can detect that there is a workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time. The control device controls the conveying device 36 to stop moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, and controls the lifting device 35 to move upward along the second direction y by a first preset distance and then stop.

[0184] After repeating the preset number of times, the control device controls the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to rise to a first height corresponding to the laminating machine 2, thereby completing the feeding work.

[0185] Therefore, in the embodiment, the transfer device 3 can realize automatic control of the lifting device 35 and the conveying device 36 through the first detection device and the control device, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the workpiece 4 to be laminated from the feeding port 11 to the transfer device 3, without the need for manual feeding, which is conducive to reducing labor costs. The detection of the first detection device is more sensitive, which can reduce the possibility of the workpiece 4 to be laminated staying in the first temporary storage area for too long, improve the reliability of the temporary storage device 33 in the working process, and be more in line with the actual use requirements.

At this time, the clamping block of the grabbing part 343 is aligned with the clamping groove of the workpiece 4 to be laminated along the second direction y. The control device controls the second driving part 342 to start to drive the grabbing part 343 to move along the second direction y towards the workpiece 4 to be laminated, and stops moving when the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4 to be laminated. At this time, the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4 to be laminated.

[0191] After the grabbing part 343 is connected with the workpiece 4 to be laminated, according to the preset program, the control device controls the first driving part 341 to start to drive the grabbing part 343 and the workpiece 4 to be laminated to move along the first direction x towards the laminating machine 2, and stops when the workpiece 4 to be laminated moves to the preset position in the laminating machine 2.

[0212] After the transfer equipment 3 is loaded at the laminating machine 2, according to the preset program, the control device controls the transfer equipment 3 to move along the track 5 to a position corresponding to the unloading port 12, and controls the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to move downward along the second direction y, so that the temporary storage area 332 carrying the processed workpiece 4 is aligned with the conveying device 36 along the second direction y, thereby facilitating the control device to control the conveying device 36 to transfer the processed workpiece 4 from the temporary storage device 33 to the unloading port 12, so as to complete the unloading work of the transfer equipment 3.

[0213] Therefore, in the embodiment, the laminating production line can realize automatic unloading of the workpiece 4 through the transfer equipment 3, so as to improve the overall automation degree of the laminating production line, thereby improving the working efficiency of the laminating production line. At the same time, the automatic control of the unloading process of the laminating production line can further reduce the demand for labor, thereby reducing labor costs and meeting the actual use requirements.

[0214] In a specific embodiment, when the temporary storage device 33 is controlled to move the processed workpiece 4 to the feeding and discharging mechanism 1, the laminating production line control method specifically includes:

[0215] controlling the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to descend to the third height, so that the temporary storage area 332 in the temporary storage device 33 carrying the workpiece 4 is aligned with the conveying device 36;

[0216] controlling the conveying device 36 to convey the processed workpiece 4 in the temporary storage device 33 to the unloading port 12;

[0217] controlling the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to descend by a second preset distance and then stop, so that the unloading port 12 is aligned with the next temporary storage area 332;

[0218] controlling the conveying device 36 to convey the processed workpiece 4 in the next temporary storage area 332 to the unloading port 12;

[0219] after repeating the preset number of times, controlling the transfer equipment 3 to move to a position corresponding to the feeding port 11 along a preset track.

[0220] In the embodiment, during the movement of the processed workpiece 4 from the temporary storage device 33 to the discharge port 12, according to the preset program, the control device controls the transfer equipment 3 to move along the track 5 to a position corresponding to the discharge port 12, and controls the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to move along the second direction y, so that the temporary storage area 332 at the preset position in the temporary storage device 33 is aligned with the conveying device 36 along the second direction y according to the preset program, so that the temporary storage area 332 is aligned with the discharge port 12 along the second direction y as the first temporary storage area.

[0221] When the temporary storage device 33 is in a full load state, the control device controls the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to descend to the third height, that is, the lowermost temporary storage area 332 in the temporary storage device 33 is aligned with the discharge port 12 along the second direction y as the first temporary storage area.

[0222] Or, when the temporary storage device 33 is in an unfull load state and only part of the temporary storage areas 332 in the temporary storage device 33 need to be discharged, the control device controls the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to descend to the second height, that is, the temporary storage area 332 at the preset position in the temporary storage device 33 is aligned with the discharge port 12 along the second direction y as the first temporary storage area. For example, along the second direction y, the lowermost temporary storage area 332 in the temporary storage device 33 is in an idle state, and the adjacent temporary storage area 332 is in a state that needs to be discharged. At this time, the adjacent temporary storage area 332 is the temporary storage area 332 at the preset position, and the control device needs to control the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to descend to the second height, so that the adjacent temporary storage area 332 is aligned with the discharge port 12 along the second direction y as the first temporary storage area, thereby achieving the discharging work of the adjacent temporary storage area 332.

[0223] During the movement of the processed workpiece 4 from the first temporary storage area to the discharge port 12, the processed workpiece 4 is driven by the conveying device 36 to move a part of it to the discharge port 12, and then continues to move along the first direction x under the joint driving of the discharge port 12 and the conveying device 36, so that the processed workpiece 4 is completely located on the discharge port 12. At this time, the first detection device does not detect the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area, and the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time. The control device controls the conveying device 36 to stop moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, and controls the lifting device 35 to move downward by a second preset distance along the second direction y and then stop.

[0224] After the lifting device 35 moves downward along the second direction y for a second preset distance and stops, the unloading port 12 is aligned with the next temporary storage area 332 along the second direction y. The next temporary storage area 332 serves as a new first temporary storage area for releasing the next processed workpiece 4. At this time, the first detection device detects the presence of the workpiece 4 in the first temporary storage area. At the same time, the first detection device can transmit the detection result to the control device in real time. The control device controls the conveying device 36 to start moving according to the detection result of the first detection device, and cooperates with the unloading port 12 to complete the unloading work of the next processed workpiece 4.

[0225] After repeating the preset number of times, the control device can control the lifting device 35 to drive the temporary storage device 33 to rise to the first height corresponding to the laminator 2, and control the transfer equipment 3 to move along the track 5 to the position corresponding to the laminator 2 to continue transferring the workpiece 4, or control the lifting device 35 to maintain the current height unchanged, and control the transfer equipment 3 to move along the track 5 to the position corresponding to the loading port 11 to continue loading.

[0226] Therefore, in this embodiment, the transfer equipment 3 can realize automatic control of the lifting device 35 and the conveying device 36 through the first detection device and the control device, thereby realizing the unloading of the processed workpiece 4, and the first detection device is more sensitive than the detection of the first temporary storage area, which can reduce the possibility of the processed workpiece 4 staying in the first temporary storage area for too long, thereby improving the reliability of the transfer equipment 3 during the operation process, and being more in line with actual usage needs.

[0227] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the present application based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application does not limit the scope of implementation to what is shown in the drawings. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of the present application, or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, which still do not exceed the spirit covered by the description and drawings, should be within the scope of protection of the present application.
