Automatic feeding system and automatic feeding method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic feeding system and an automatic feeding method. The automatic feeding system comprises a tray splitting device used for grabbing all the trays which are located at a tray splitting position and stacked on a bottom tray, making the bottom tray become an independent tray, and transferring the parts of every row on the independent tray to a pushing station orderly, a pushing device used for pushing one row of parts which reach the pushing station out of the independent tray, an empty tray push-off device used for pushing an empty tray to be stacked out of the tray splitting device, as well as an empty tray stacking device used for grabbing all the empty trays stacked on an empty tray stacking position, transferring the empty tray to be stacked to the unoccupied empty tray stacking position, and stacking all the grabbed empty trays to the empty tray to be stacked. According to the automatic feeding system and the automatic feeding method provided by the invention, the trays stacked together can be split and pushed, and a worker only needs to feed in batch and take away the empty trays in batch periodically, and no worker is needed to guard during the working period; besides, the invention also has the characteristic of low use and maintenance cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a feeding system and a feeding method for realizing automatic feeding on a production line. Background technique [0002] Loading systems for supplying the parts needed for each process are ubiquitous on the production line, especially for heavier parts that cannot be loaded manually, such as engine blocks. The existing feeding methods for providing heavy parts are mainly robot feeding or spreader feeding. The former uses robots to grab parts and then place them at designated positions on the production line. Problems with robot feeding Yes: the purchase and maintenance costs are high; the latter is to manually use the spreader to lift the parts and place them on the designated position on the production line. The problem of the spreader feeding is: the feeding efficiency is low and it is not conducive to batch production Production. Contents of the invention [0003] An object of the present invention is to provide an auto...
