[0003] When processing some new electronic products, it is necessary to ensure good conveying capacity, especially for some large-volume and regular-shaped products. In order to ensure the processing efficiency, it is often necessary to classify, transfer and convey them according to the processing process requirements so that they can be processed in multiple processes in a short time. However, some existing automatic feeding mechanisms have complex structures and insufficient classification and transmission accuracy, which affects the speed and efficiency of feeding;

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, this technical solution proposes a new process automation equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a new type of process automation equipment to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: novel process automation equipment, including a main feed channel, a classification transfer bin, and a branch feed channel; the bottom end of the main feed channel is connected to the middle of the top of the classification transfer bin, and three groups of branch feed channels are connected to the bottom of the classification transfer bin outwardly. Products arranged vertically and side by side along the main feed channel are transferred to the classification transfer bin in sequence under the action of gravity. A position adjustment component is arranged inside the classification transfer bin, and the position adjustment component performs lateral position adjustment on the products transported to the classification transfer bin, and automatically transfers them to the corresponding branch feed channel according to the output requirements, and then uses the effect of gravity in the branch feed channel to transfer them to the processing location, the inner side of the classification transfer bin is set to an inverted T-shaped space structure, and one side of the position adjustment component moves through the classification transfer bin and is connected to a power mechanism outwardly, and the operation of the power mechanism drives the position adjustment component to move in a lateral circulation inside the classification transfer bin, and performs lateral position adjustment on the fallen products, so that they are output separately along the branch feed channel at the bottom;

[0007] The position adjustment component includes a transverse telescopic rod which is horizontally placed on the inner side of the classification transfer bin and moves. One end of the transverse telescopic rod moves toward the power mechanism and passes through the wall of the classification transfer bin to be connected to the power mechanism outward. Two triangular distribution blocks are installed at intervals on the end side of the transverse telescopic rod located inside the classification transfer bin. The distance between the two triangular distribution blocks is greater than the width of the product to be fed. That is, the inclined sliding of the triangular distribution block is coordinated with the distance limit between the two triangular distribution blocks to ensure that the product entering along the main feed channel can be placed between the two triangular distribution blocks. Then, the transverse movement of the transverse telescopic rod is coordinated with the connection between the top of the branch feed channel and the classification transfer bin to control the product to be automatically transferred to the branch feed channel and then output along the branch feed channel.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the utility model is as follows: by setting a group of classification transfer bins in communication between the main feed channel and multiple groups of branch feed channels, and then setting a position adjustment component inside the classification transfer bin to cooperate with a power mechanism set outside the classification transfer bin, the position adjustment component is controlled to perform lateral position adjustment on the products input into the classification transfer bin, and then they are separated and automatically transferred to the branch feed channels for output and rear feeding, thereby realizing automatic classification feeding of products, greatly improving the feeding speed and efficiency of the equipment to a certain extent.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0018] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , a new type of process automation equipment, including a main feed channel 10, a classification transfer bin 11, and a branch feed channel 12; the bottom end of the main feed channel 10 is connected to the middle of the top of the classification transfer bin 11, and the classification transfer bin 11 has three groups of branch feed channels 12 connected to the outside from the bottom. The products arranged vertically and side by side along the main feed channel 10 are transferred to the classification transfer bin 11 in sequence under the action of gravity. A position adjustment component is arranged inside the classification transfer bin 11. The position adjustment component performs lateral position adjustment on the products transported to the classification transfer bin 11, and automatically transfers them to the corresponding branch feed channel 12 according to the output requirements, and then uses the action of gravity in the branch feed channel 12 to transfer them to the processing location. The inner side of the classification transfer bin 11 is set to an inverted T-shaped space structure, and one side of the position adjustment component moves through the classification transfer bin 11 and is connected to a power mechanism outward. The operation of the power mechanism drives the position adjustment component to move horizontally in the classification transfer bin 11, and adjusts the horizontal position of the falling products so that they are output separately along the branch feed channel 12 at the bottom;

[0019] The position adjustment component includes a transverse telescopic rod 15 which is laterally placed and moved inside the classification transfer bin 11. The transverse telescopic rod 15 moves toward one end of the power mechanism and passes through the bin wall of the classification transfer bin 11 to be connected to the power mechanism outward. Two triangular distribution blocks 16 are installed at intervals on the end side of the transverse telescopic rod 15 located inside the classification transfer bin 11. The distance between the two triangular distribution blocks 16 is greater than the width of the product to be fed. That is, the inclined surface of the triangular distribution block 16 is slidably matched with the distance limit between the two triangular distribution blocks 16 to ensure that the product entering along the main feed channel 10 can be placed between the two triangular distribution blocks 16. Then, the transverse movement of the transverse telescopic rod 15 is matched with the connection between the top of the branch feed channel 12 and the classification transfer bin 11 to control the product to be automatically transferred to the branch feed channel 12 and then output along the branch feed channel 12.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present invention, the aperture of the connection between the top of the branch feed channel 12 and the classification transfer bin 11 is larger than the maximum cross-section of the product, ensuring that when the product is transferred to the top of the branch feed channel 12 under the control of the triangular distribution block 16, it can automatically fall down along the branch feed channel 12 for output, and at the same time, the height inside the classification transfer bin 11 is greater than the length of the product, that is, the product transferred to the classification transfer bin 11 can be moved horizontally under the push of the triangular distribution block 16; the products initially input into the main feed channel 10 should be placed vertically and side by side in the main feed channel 10 for storage and transfer, and the products that need to be classified and outputted can be arranged in the main feed channel 10 according to the requirements of separate output, and the positions are pre-designed;

[0021] It should be noted that due to the structural limitations of the main feed channel 10, the classification transfer bin 11, and the branch feed channel 12, the products applicable to the present feeding equipment are limited to regular rectangular parallelepiped, cube and other structures;

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4 A baffle 24 is plug-inly installed at the connection point between the branch feed channel 12 and the classification transfer bin 11, a plate cap 25 is installed at the outer end of the baffle 24, and a pull ring 26 is installed in the middle of the outer wall of the plate cap 25. When the branch feed channel 12 is used to separately output the products, according to the output requirements and types, the corresponding positions and numbers of branch feed channels 12 are selected to be opened, that is, the baffle 24 is controlled to be placed on the top of the branch feed channel 12 by pulling the pull ring 26, thereby controlling the connection and operation between the branch feed channel 12 and the classification transfer bin 11. At the same time, arc edges 23 are opened on both sides of the top of the branch feed channel 12, and the structure of the arc edges 23 is used to reduce the resistance of the product when it is placed inside the branch feed channel 12 and falls into the branch feed channel 12.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power mechanism includes a rotating disk 17 rotatably arranged at the outer end of the horizontal telescopic rod 15, a driving shaft 18 is installed at the center of the rotating disk 17, one end of the driving shaft 18 is connected to a main servo motor 19 through an output shaft 20, and the main servo motor 19 is started to drive the driving shaft 18 to control the rotation of the rotating disk 17 under the connection of the output shaft 20, and a circle of horizontal circulation drive slide rails 22 are opened on the side wall edge of the rotating disk 17 away from the side of the slide bar 21, and a slide bar 21 is installed on the side of the outer end of the horizontal telescopic rod 15 facing the horizontal circulation drive slide rail 22, and the slide bar 21 is placed inside the horizontal circulation drive slide rail 22 to rotate, and the horizontal circulation drive slide rail 22 is rotated. The track is set to a non-circular structure. According to the distance of the horizontal movement between the tops of the three groups of feed channels 12 where the products to be separated and outputted are placed inside the classification transfer bin 11, the track of the horizontal circulation drive rail 22 is designed to ensure that when the horizontal circulation drive rail 22 drives the slide bar 21 placed inside the horizontal circulation drive rail 22 to rotate under the rotation of the rotating disk 17, the horizontal telescopic rod 15 is controlled to be able to move horizontally in a circular motion, and the distance of the circular motion is equal to the maximum distance of movement between the centers of the two triangular distribution blocks 16 located at the tops of the three feed channels 12, ensuring that the products placed between the triangular distribution blocks 16 can be automatically transferred to any one of the feed channels 12 for output;

[0024] It should be noted that since this equipment is only a part of the new process automation device, there are no restrictions on the positions of the main feed channel 10, the classification transfer bin 11, the branch feed channel 12, the rotating disk 17, and the main servo motor 19. The entire device is arranged within the new process automation device. Therefore, even if it is not explained, it will not affect the integrity of this technical solution.

[0025] The working principle of the utility model is: in the idle part of the device, all the driving parts mentioned above, which refer to power elements, electrical components and adapted power supplies, are connected through wires, and the electrical components are electrically connected in a sequential working order. The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and does not explain the electrical control. When in use, the regular products to be output are placed vertically and side by side inside the main feed channel 10, and then according to the requirements of the separated output, the opening quantity of the branch feed channel 12 is controlled by pulling the baffle plate 24 inside the branch feed channel 12, and then the main servo motor 19 is started to drive the rotating disk 17 to rotate, and the control slide bar 21 slides inside the transverse circulation driving slide rail 22, thereby controlling the triangular distribution block 16 to move horizontally and cyclically inside the classification transfer bin 11 under the connection of the transverse telescopic rod 15, and then cooperating with the gravity of the product, the products transferred to the classification transfer bin 11 are controlled to be automatically separated and transferred to the branch feed channel 12 for output under the push of the triangular distribution block 16, so as to realize the operation mode of automatic rapid and large-scale separation feeding processing.

[0026] The above describes in detail the preferred implementation of this patent, but this patent is not limited to the above implementation. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of this patent.
