The disclosure provides a cleaning robot maintenance system. The maintenance system includes a mop picking device and a first storage compartment, where the first storage compartment is configured to store at least two first sheet mops that are stacked; and the mop picking device is configured to pick a single first sheet mop from the first storage compartment, to connect the single first sheet mop and a mop board. Therefore, dirt is prevented from being left on a mop component of the cleaning robot and the base station during cleaning, thereby improving the user experience.

Process and apparatus for applying noise reducing elements to tyres for vehicle wheels. The apparatus includes a loading station of stacks of noise reducing elements, an extraction station of noise reducing elements from each stack placed downstream of the loading station, and a conveyor placed downstream of the extraction station and extending along a predefined path. The conveyor is configured for supporting and advancing in a row the noise reducing elements extracted from the stacks which are then applied to a radially inner surface of the tyres. The extraction of each of the noise reducing elements contemplates: retaining a first noise reducing element placed at the base of a stack; raising the remaining noise reducing elements of the stack from the first noise reducing element; moving away the first noise reducing element according to a set path; and lowering the remaining noise reducing elements of the stack.

A needle grab for handling workpieces has a bar-shaped longitudinally elongated housing having a longitudinally extending face and first and second longitudinally spaced guides defining respective first and second transverse directions that cross each other. First and second holders are transversely slidable in the first and second guides in the respective directions and carry respective first and second sets of at least three first and second grab needles movable with the respective holders relative to the face between a release position recessed behind the face and a gripping position projecting from the face in the first and second directions. A single servomotor is mounted on the housing and is connected via a gear train to both of the holders for synchronously moving same to displace the first and second sets of needles synchronously in the respective first and second directions.

An article holding device includes a base portion whose lower surface has a holding portion, flow paths communicated with holes in the holding portion, and needles provided on the base portion in a posture inclined with respect to the holding portion. The holding portion sucks and holds a sheet-like article using a negative pressure generated, by supplying a fluid to the flow paths and ejecting the fluid from the holes, between the holding portion and the article on the holding portion. When the article is easily allows air to pass through, the needles is moved to a protruding position in which the needles protrude downward from the holding portion, and the holding portion holds the article by piercing the article using the protruded needles.

The present invention discloses a biomimetic bag opening device for an automatic filling line, comprising brackets left and right symmetrically arranged on the filling line for filling bags, the symmetrically arranged brackets moving in a horizontal relative motion respectively driven by a pull rod, a push bag plate facing the filling bag provided at a front end of the bracket, a row of gripper holes provided on the push bag plate in the upper and lower of the horizontal level respectively, two rows of grippers provided on the brackets behind the push bag plate and corresponding to the two rows of gripper holes, a gripper drive device driving two rows of grippers open or closed, and grasping fingertips of the grippers projecting or retracting from two rows of the upper and lower of the gripper holes. The present invention solves the problem that woven bags are automatically opened in a full-automatic weighing and packaging device, which can be used for the production of the non-lamination woven bag, semi-lamination woven bag and full-lamination woven bag. The grippers of present invention imitate the human fingers to grip woven bags and separate the bag mouth, the bag mouth can also be closed to prepare for next process after bagging completed, and structure installation and adjustment are convenient.

A shredder has cutter elements for destroying articles (paper) and a feed mechanism for advancing paper from a stack in a tray into cutters for shredding. The feed mechanism has a feed member provided adjacent to the tray with an elastic arm for engaging and disengaging the stack. The feed member rotates in a feeding direction about an axle, with the elastic arm elastically deforming to apply pressure to feed paper atop the stack to the cutters. The elastic arm can include a protruding tip that is inserted into the stack. The tray includes a curved feed bed to assist in feeding paper into the cutters and deforming the elastic arm. A pivot arm can also move the feed member relative to the tray (e.g., vertically). A disengagement mechanism can hold the feed mechanism in an inoperable feeding position when a drawer or tray is moved into an open position.
