wherein the peeling assembly is drivingly connected with the peeling drive assembly, the peeling assembly periodically peels off waste sandpaper on a sanding head under driving of the peeling drive assembly, and the sandpaper extracting plate periodically supplies new sandpaper to the sanding head after peeling off sandpaper.
Preferably, the bracket assembly comprises a base plate and a sandpaper extracting driving part, and the sandpaper receiving assembly and the sandpaper extracting plate are disposed on the base plate.
Preferably, the sandpaper receiving assembly comprises a sandpaper receiving canister and a sandpaper pressing block, the sandpaper extracting plate is slidably connected to the base plate, and the sandpaper receiving canister is provided with a first through hole running through the upper and lower ends of the sandpaper receiving canister so that the upper end and the lower end of the sandpaper receiving canister are both open.
Preferably, the bottom of the sandpaper receiving canister is provided with a second through hole running through the left and right sides of the sandpaper receiving canister so that the bottom of the sandpaper receiving canister is provided with a left through opening and a right through opening, the sandpaper pressing block is slidably disposed in the first through hole, the sandpaper extracting plate is passed through the second through hole, and the sandpaper extracting plate can be reciprocally slide along the base plate under the driving of the sandpaper extracting driving part.
Preferably, the mounting plate is mated with the bracket assembly and extends in a vertical direction, and the peeling assembly comprises a peeling mounting plate and a peeling plate fixedly mounted on the peeling mounting plate, wherein the peeling mounting plate extends in a vertical direction, the peeling mounting plate is drivingly connected to the peeling drive assembly, and the peeling plate can be reciprocated in a vertical plane with the peeling mounting plate under driving of the peeling drive assembly.
Preferably, a fitting plate is fixedly mounted on the peeling mounting plate, and the fitting plate is located directly below the peeling plate.
Preferably, the peeling plate and the fitting plate are located in the same vertical plane and are spaced apart to form a sandpaper collecting space between them.

Preferably, a sandpaper extracting groove is disposed on an upper surface of the sandpaper extracting plate, the sandpaper extracting groove is located at one end of the sandpaper extracting plate, and the sandpaper extracting groove is selectively mated with the first through hole in the process of reciprocally sliding of the sandpaper extracting plate along the base plate.
The present invention comprises at least the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art:
1. Since the peeling assembly is drivingly connected with the peeling drive assembly, the peeling assembly periodically peels off waste sandpaper on the sanding head under driving of the peeling drive assembly, and the sandpaper extracting plate periodically supplies the new sandpaper to the sanding head after peeling off the sandpaper, so that peeling and replacement of the sandpaper can be completed in a single operation, thereby omitting intermediate steps, improving peeling and replacement efficiency of the sandpaper, and further improving production efficiency.
2. Since the sandpaper pressing block is slidably disposed in the first through hole, the sandpaper extracting plate is passed through the second through hole, and the sandpaper extracting plate can be reciprocally slide along the base plate under driving of the sandpaper extracting driving part, the sandpaper extracting plate can periodically take out the sandpaper from the sandpaper receiving canister.
3. Since the upper surface of the sandpaper extracting plate is provided with a sandpaper extracting groove and the sandpaper extracting groove is selectively mated with the first through hole, the sandpaper can periodically fall into the sandpaper extracting groove and can be moved with the sandpaper extracting groove to an sandpaper attaching workstation.
4. Since the peeling mounting plate can be reciprocated in a vertical plane under driving of the peeling drive assembly, the peeling plate can periodically peel off waste and damaged sandpaper from the sanding head.
5. Since much of the sandpaper may be warped and damaged after sanding and the fitting plate can apply a certain pressure to the sanding head, the sandpaper on the sanding head is pressed and flattened so that the peeling plate can easily and quickly invade the sandpaper layer, thereby improving success rate for peeling off the sandpaper.
6. Since the lower edge of the peeling plate is provided with a peeling guide slope extending obliquely upward along the inner side of the peeling plate, the peeling guide slope enables a peeled off waste sandpaper to be directed obliquely upward into a sandpaper drop channel between the peeling mounting plate and the mounting plate, thereby increasing discharge efficiency of the waste sandpaper.
7. On the one hand, the sandpaper guiding structure can prevent the peeling plate from being difficult to invade due to the over-tightening of the upper edge of the sandpaper by the fitting plate. And on the other hand, the sandpaper guiding structure can prevent the waste sandpaper debris from remaining on the top of the fitting plate, thereby facilitating the effective discharge of the waste sandpaper.

a division driver 143 disposed on the division bracket; and
a division plate 145 disposed on the division bracket,
wherein the division plate 145 can be selectively inserted between the sandpaper guiding plate 133 and the sandpaper extracting plate 113 under driving of the division driver 143. In this way, when sandpaper is introduced into the sandpaper extracting groove 1131, the division plate 145 can divide the sandpaper in the sandpaper extracting groove 1131 with the remaining sandpaper above it to prevent the sandpaper in the sandpaper extracting groove 1131 from sticking to the remaining sandpaper, and when sandpaper is to be introduced into the sandpaper extracting groove 1131, the division plate can be removed from between the sandpaper guiding plate 133 and the sandpaper extracting plate 113, so that the sandpaper can be smoothly introduced into the sandpaper extracting groove 1131. In an embodiment, the division bracket comprises a left bracket 141 and a right bracket 142. The left bracket 141 is parallel with and spaced apart from the right bracket 142. At least two guide posts 144 are disposed between the left bracket 141 and the right bracket 142, and the division driver 143 is slidably sleeved on the guide post 144. In a preferred embodiment, the division bracket and the division driver 143 are capped with a protective cover 146 which provides an entry and exit passageway for the division plate 145.
Further, a sandpaper extracting guide rail 114 is disposed on the base plate 112, and the sandpaper extracting plate 113 is slidably coupled to the sandpaper extracting guide rail 114.

As shown in
Further, the depth of the sandpaper extracting groove 1131 is greater than the thickness of single piece of sandpaper and less than the thickness of two pieces of sandpaper. Since the edge of the sandpaper is somewhat warped, the division plate 145 can conveniently separate the sandpaper in the sandpaper extracting groove 1131 from other sandpaper, thereby further ensuring the success rate of taking out only one piece of sandpaper in a single time.
As shown in
a guiding rod 1152 disposed on the base plate 112, an extending direction of which being same as an extending direction of the sandpaper extracting guide rail 114; and

wherein the first positioning block 122, the second positioning block 123, and the third positioning block 124 surround to form a first positioning channel 125 between the first positioning block 122 and the second positioning block 123, and a second positioning channel 126 between the second positioning block 123 and the third positioning block 124. The first positioning channel 125 and the second positioning channel 126 are interconnected and are perpendicular to each other. Since the sanding head and its driver are eccentric connected, after being positioned through the first positioning channel 125 and the second positioning channel 126, the sanding head can accurately attach the sandpaper onto it at the sandpaper attaching workstation P1.

Further, the peeling plate 232 and the fitting plate 233 are located in the same vertical plane and are spaced apart to form a sandpaper collecting space between them. In a preferred embodiment, the peeling mounting plate 231 has an inverted U-shaped structure, and the peeling mounting plate 231 comprises a top plate fixed to the connecting block 222 and a left cantilever and a right cantilever respectively fixed to the two ends of the top plate. The left cantilever and the right cantilever are parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other to form a retaining space between them. The peeling plate 232 and the fitting plate 233 are both mounted between the left cantilever and the right cantilever. The peeled waste sandpaper can be timely and effectively guided into the sandpaper falling channel between the peeling mounting plate 231 and the mounting plate 21 by the sandpaper collecting space to facilitate discharging it in time, to prevent the waste sandpaper from interfering with subsequent peeling actions.
Further, a distance between the peeling plate 232 and the fitting plate 233 is 8 mm to 15 mm. In an embodiment, the distance between the peeling plate 232 and the fitting plate 233 is 8 mm.

wherein an angle α between the first guiding slope 2331 and the vertical plane and an angle β between the second guiding slope 2332 and the vertical plane are as follows: 15°≤α≤30°, 5°≤β≤15°. On the one hand, the sandpaper guiding structure can prevent the peeling plate 232 from being difficult to invade due to the over-tightening of the upper edge of the sandpaper by the fitting plate 233. And on the other hand, the sandpaper guiding structure can prevent the waste sandpaper debris from remaining on the top of the fitting plate 233, thereby facilitating the effective discharge of the waste sandpaper.
