DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] The utility model discloses a feeding device, which comprises a feeding device 10 and a transfer device 20.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device 10 includes a first streamline mechanism 11 and a feeding mechanism 12. The first streamline mechanism 11 is used to transport materials; those skilled in the art can set different first streamline mechanisms 11, as well as parameters such as the transportation direction and speed of the materials on the first streamline mechanism 11 according to actual needs, as long as the material transportation can be achieved. The feeding mechanism 12 is used to position the materials transported by the first streamline mechanism 11. Those skilled in the art can set different feeding mechanisms 12 according to actual needs, as long as the positioning of the materials can be achieved. Positioning the materials here refers to separating the materials from the first streamline mechanism 11 through the feeding mechanism 12, waiting for the corresponding device to pick up the materials and assemble them. Among them, the first streamline mechanism 11 is provided with a first transfer station S1 at at least one of the two ends along its own transportation direction; the first transfer station S1 is used to set a transfer device 20 to connect the materials transported by the streamline and the materials transported by the automatic guided vehicle. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first transfer station S1 is provided at one end of the first streamline mechanism 11 along its own transport direction to set a transfer device 20. It should be noted that, Figure 1This is just a simple diagram to illustrate the relative position of each workstation, so that technicians can refer to the relative position of each workstation. Figure 3 As shown, first transfer stations S1 are provided at both ends of the first streamline mechanism 11 along its own transport direction to set up a transfer device 20. It should be noted that the material can be represented as the material body, preferably, as a general term for the material body and its tray.

[0034] Taking materials transported by pallets as an example, various situations of materials transported by the first streamline mechanism 11 are analyzed. When a transfer device 20 is provided at one end of the first streamline mechanism 11, the first streamline mechanism 11 can receive materials transported by the transfer device 20, and transport the pallets remaining after the feeding is completed to the corresponding device docked at the other end; it can also receive materials transported by the corresponding device docked at the other end, and transport the pallets remaining after the feeding is completed to the transfer device 20. When transfer devices 20 are provided at both ends, the first streamline mechanism 11 can receive materials transported by one of the transfer devices 20, and transport the pallets remaining after the feeding is completed to the other transfer device 20.

[0035] The transfer device 20 is arranged on the first transfer station S1, and the transfer device 20 includes a second streamline mechanism 21 and a handling and lifting member 22. The second streamline mechanism 21 includes two second streamline components 211 arranged opposite to each other, and the second streamline components 211 are used to transport materials; preferably, each second streamline component 211 includes a streamline mounting plate, a driving member, and a synchronous belt, so that the synchronous belt is driven by the driving member to run and realize the transportation of materials. Those skilled in the art can set the specific structure of the second streamline component 211 according to actual needs, such as setting a tensioning wheel, an auxiliary idler wheel, etc., and can also set auxiliary idler wheels and other components between the first streamline mechanism 11 and the second streamline mechanism 21 to realize the docking of materials on the two streamlines, which will not be repeated. The second streamline component 211 is configured to be able to adjust the distance between itself and another second streamline component 211. Those skilled in the art can set different ways to adjust the distance between the two second streamline components 211 according to actual needs, such as only setting a driving member for one of the second streamline components 211, and driving the corresponding second streamline component 211 to be relatively close to or relatively far away from the other second streamline component 211 through the driving member; preferably, a driving member is set for each second streamline component 211, so as to adjust the distance between the two. Preferably, the drive of the second streamline component 211 is achieved by setting a cylinder to cooperate with the guide rail, taking into account stability and guiding accuracy. By adjusting the distance between the two second streamline components 211, it is possible to facilitate the reception of materials located below the streamline that are transported by an automatic guided transport vehicle.

[0036] Specifically, a second transfer station S2 is provided below the second streamline component 211. The transport lifting member 22 is provided below the second streamline component 211, and the transport lifting member 22 can rise or fall. The transport lifting member 22 is used to transport the materials on the second streamline component 211 to the second transfer station S2, or to transport the materials on the second transfer station S2 to the second streamline component 211. Those skilled in the art can set the specific structure of the transport lifting member 22 and the way to achieve the lifting according to actual needs. Preferably, the lifting and lowering of the transport lifting member 22 is achieved by setting components such as motors, screws and guide rails. Due to the limitations of the existing automatic guided transport vehicle structure, it is often difficult to directly transport materials to the streamline, and additional mechanical arms and other devices need to be set for auxiliary transportation. Mechanical arms and other devices can often only be set on both sides of the streamline horizontally or above the streamline. When there are restrictions above the streamline and it cannot be set, it can only be set on both sides of the streamline horizontally. Therefore, it will occupy a certain space and reduce the space utilization rate. In addition, when picking and placing materials by a robotic arm, it is often necessary to set up additional positioning components, such as image acquisition components, sensors, etc., to avoid the possibility of damaging materials or causing position deviations and other adverse consequences during the picking and placing process. The feeding efficiency is relatively low and the cost is relatively high. By setting a transport and lifting member 22 below the second streamline component 211, the space below the streamline can be fully utilized to achieve the docking of materials of the automatic guided transport vehicle. Not only can the volume be reduced and the space utilization rate be improved, but also the positioning requirements are relatively low, and the material transportation can be realized quickly and accurately, with relatively low cost. When the automatic guided transport vehicle moves to the second transfer station S2, it can choose to place the materials it transports on the transport and lifting member 22, and transport the materials to the second streamline mechanism 21 through the transport and lifting member 22; it can also take away the materials on the transport and lifting member 22 and transport them to other stations.

[0037] Taking the materials transported by pallets as an example, various situations of the materials transported by the second streamline mechanism 21 are analyzed. The second streamline mechanism 21 can directly receive the materials transported by other devices and transport the materials to the first streamline mechanism 11. It is also possible that after the transporting and lifting member 22 receives the materials at the second transfer station S2, the distance between the two second streamline components 211 is increased through the driving member, and after the transporting and lifting member 22 transports the materials to the corresponding position, the distance between the two second streamline components 211 is reduced through the driving member; after the materials contact the second streamline components 211, they are transported to the first streamline mechanism 11. In addition, it is also possible to receive the pallets transported by the first streamline mechanism 11 and transport them directly to other devices, or transport them to the second transfer station S2 through the transporting and lifting member 22, which will not be repeated.

[0038] The feeding equipment described in the utility model can connect the materials transported by the streamline and the automatic guided transport vehicle through the transfer device 20, thereby improving the compatibility of the feeding device 10. In the actual operation process, the transfer device 20 can use the transport lifting member 22 in conjunction with the second streamline component 211 that can adjust the spacing to realize the transportation of materials between the streamline and the second transfer station S2. The space under the streamline is fully utilized to improve the space utilization rate; the positioning requirements during material transportation are reduced, and the material transportation can be realized quickly and accurately, reducing the transportation cost. In addition, the number of transfer devices 20 can be flexibly adjusted according to different application scenarios to meet different operation requirements.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the feeding equipment described in the utility model, in some embodiments, the transfer device 20 also includes a transfer positioning mechanism 23. The transfer positioning mechanism 23 is used to position the material during the process of transporting the material by the lifting member 22, so as to achieve more efficient and accurate operation. Specifically, the transfer positioning mechanism 23 includes two transfer positioning components 231, and the two transfer positioning components 231 are relatively arranged along the transportation direction of the second streamline component 211, so as to position the material when the material moves to the specified position. Each transfer positioning component 231 includes a first transfer positioning drive member 2311, a second transfer positioning drive member 2312 and a transfer positioning component 2313. The driving end of the first transfer positioning driver 2311 can rise or fall, the second transfer positioning driver 2312 is connected to the driving end of the first transfer positioning driver 2311, the driving end of the second transfer positioning driver 2312 can be relatively close to or relatively far away from another transfer positioning assembly 231, and the transfer positioning component 2313 is connected to the driving end of the second transfer positioning driver 2312. Preferably, the first transfer positioning driver 2311 and the second transfer positioning driver 2312 are both configured as cylinders, and of course, they can also be configured as a pneumatic slide, a combination of a motor and a screw, etc., as long as the drive of the transfer positioning component 2313 and the positioning of the material can be achieved.

[0040] Taking the material transported from the second transfer station S2 to the feeding device 10 as an example, first, the corresponding two second streamline components 211 are relatively separated, and the transport lifting component 22 lifts the material to the rated height. At the same time, the first transfer positioning drive 2311 drives the transfer positioning component 2313 to rise. After the transport lifting component 22 lifts the material to the rated height, the transfer positioning component 2313 is driven by the second transfer positioning drive 2312 to position the material at the top. Subsequently, the transport lifting component 22 descends, and the corresponding two second streamline components 211 are relatively close and closed. Finally, the first transfer positioning drive 2311 drives the transfer positioning component 2313 to descend, so that the material falls on the corresponding second streamline component 211, and the material is transported to the first streamline mechanism 11 for operation through the second streamline component 211.

[0041] As can be imagined, when ordinary cylinders are used to drive the transport lifting member 22, it is often susceptible to stroke limitations. For this reason, a combination of a motor, a screw and a guide rail is usually used, which can take into account the beneficial effects of self-locking, long stroke, stability, etc.; however, this structure will occupy a certain volume, and it is relatively difficult to transport materials from the bottom of the second streamline component 211 to the second streamline component 211. For this reason, by setting up a transfer positioning mechanism 23, this defect can be compensated, and the material located below the second streamline component 211 can be transported to the second streamline component 211. It can effectively assist in the positioning and transfer of materials. On the one hand, it reduces the requirements for the second streamline mechanism 21 and the transport lifting member 22. On the other hand, it is also convenient to transport multiple materials at a time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0042] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the feeding equipment described in the utility model, the transfer positioning component 231 also includes a fixed seat 2314 and an adjustment seat 2315. The fixed seat 2314 is fixedly arranged, and a first fixing hole 23141 is provided on the fixed seat 2314; the adjustment seat 2315 is connected to the first transfer positioning driving member 2311, and a second fixing hole 23151 adapted to the first fixing hole 23141 is provided on the adjustment seat 2315, and a plurality of second fixing holes 23151 are provided, and the plurality of second fixing holes 23151 are sequentially arranged along the transportation direction of the second streamline component 211, and the second fixing hole 23151 is detachably connected to the first fixing hole 23141 by fasteners. Preferably, the first fixing hole 23141 is set as a circular hole, and a plurality of them are provided; the second fixing hole 23151 is set as a bar hole. By setting up this structure, when facing materials and pallets of different sizes, the spacing between the two transfer positioning components 2313 can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the specific fixed first fixing hole 23141 and the second fixing hole 23151, thereby increasing the compatibility of the equipment; in addition, it is also convenient for staff to carry out maintenance.

[0043] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the feeding equipment described in the utility model, the second streamline component 211 is provided with an adjustment slot 2111 along its own transport direction; the second streamline mechanism 21 also includes a position sensor 212, and the position sensor 212 is movably connected to the adjustment slot 2111, and the position sensor 212 is used to detect the position of the material transported by the second streamline component 211. When faced with materials of different sizes and their pallets, the corresponding detection position also needs to change accordingly. To this end, by providing the adjustment slot 2111, the position sensor 212 can move along the adjustment slot 2111 to change the relative installation position, thereby realizing the adjustment of the detection position, further enhancing the compatibility of the equipment; in addition, it is also convenient for the staff to carry out maintenance.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 and Fig.11 As shown, the feeding device described in the utility model, in some embodiments, further includes a third streamline mechanism 30, which is arranged at one end of the second streamline mechanism 21 away from the first streamline mechanism 11, and the third streamline mechanism 30 is used to transport materials. Specifically, the third streamline mechanism 30 can transport materials to the second streamline mechanism 21, and can also receive and transport materials transported by the second streamline mechanism 21. It can be understood that when only one transfer device 20 is provided, the third streamline mechanism 30 can be directly provided at the end of the second streamline mechanism 21. When two transfer devices 20 are provided, the third streamline mechanism 30 can be provided at the ends of both second streamline mechanisms 21, or the third streamline mechanism 30 can be provided only at the end of one of the second streamline mechanisms 21. By providing the third streamline mechanism 30, the compatibility of the equipment with materials transported through the streamline is further enhanced. According to actual needs, corresponding idler wheels and other components can be provided between the third streamline mechanism 30 and the second streamline mechanism 21, which will not be repeated.

[0045] Further, see Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the feeding equipment described in the utility model, the third streamline mechanism 30 includes two third streamline components 31 arranged opposite to each other, and the third streamline component 31 is configured to be able to adjust the distance between itself and another third streamline component 31. By setting this structure, it is possible to cooperate with the spacing adjustment of the second streamline mechanism 21 to achieve docking of materials of different sizes. It can effectively enhance the compatibility of the equipment and meet the transportation needs of various types of materials in the production process; it is also convenient for the staff to carry out maintenance and adjust the spacing to meet the accuracy requirements during transportation. Preferably, a driving member is only set for one of the third streamline components 31 to adjust the spacing.

[0046] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the feeding equipment described in the utility model, the first streamline mechanism 11 includes two first streamline components 111 arranged opposite to each other, and the first streamline component 111 is configured to be able to adjust the distance between itself and another first streamline component 111. By setting this structure, the distance adjustment of the second streamline mechanism 21 can be coordinated to achieve docking for materials of different sizes. It can effectively enhance the compatibility of the equipment and meet the transportation needs of various types of materials in the production process; it is also convenient for the staff to overhaul and adjust the distance to meet the accuracy requirements during transportation. Those skilled in the art can set different ways to achieve the adjustment of the distance between the two first streamline components 111 according to actual needs, for example, only a driving member is set for one of the first streamline components 111, and the corresponding first streamline component 111 is driven by the driving member to be relatively close to or relatively far away from the other first streamline component 111; or a driving member is set for each first streamline component 111, so as to achieve the adjustment of the distance between the two. Taking into account that in the actual operation process, the first streamline mechanism 11 does not have the need to receive the material below like the second streamline mechanism 21, therefore, it is also possible to set a guide rail structure only for the first streamline component 111, lock it during normal operation to prevent the distance between the first streamline components 111 from changing, and adjust the distance between the two first streamline components 111 accordingly when the material to be transported changes.

[0047] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the feeding equipment described in the utility model, the feeding mechanism 12 includes a feeding positioning seat 121 and a feeding lifting assembly 122. The feeding positioning seat 121 is arranged above the first streamline mechanism 11, and a feeding opening 1211 is provided on the feeding positioning seat 121; preferably, a plurality of feeding openings 1211 are provided. The specific shape, size, arrangement direction, etc. of the feeding opening 1211 can be set according to actual needs. Preferably, six feeding openings 1211 are provided, and the six feeding openings 1211 are arranged in sequence along the transportation direction of the first streamline mechanism 11, and the extension direction of each feeding opening 1211 is perpendicular to the transportation direction of the first streamline mechanism 11. By setting this structure, it is convenient to realize the positioning of the material, so as to realize the feeding more accurately and stably.

[0048] The feed lifting assembly 122 includes a feed lifting driving member 1221 and a lifting component 1222. The feed lifting driving member 1221 is arranged below the first streamline mechanism 11. The driving end of the feed lifting driving member 1221 can rise or fall. The lifting component 1222 is connected to the driving end of the feed lifting driving member 1221. The lifting component 1222 is used to lift the material transported by the first streamline mechanism 11 and cooperate with the feed positioning seat 121 to realize material positioning. Preferably, the feed lifting driving member 1221 is set as a combination of a cylinder and a guide column, which can take into account good guiding accuracy and stability. Taking the material transported by the pallet as an example, when the operation is performed, after the material is transported to the designated position, the feeding jacking drive 1221 drives the jacking component 1222 to rise and lift the material, so that the material pallet is relatively clamped by the jacking component 1222 and the feeding positioning seat 121. At the same time, the material on the pallet at least partially passes through the feeding positioning seat 121 from the feeding opening 1211. Subsequently, the corresponding device can perform the material picking operation. Preferably, the feeding device 10 also includes a blocking component 123 to block and position the material. The blocking component 123 belongs to the prior art, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, such as the combination of a cylinder and a block, etc., which will not be repeated.

[0049] Reference Fig.10 As shown, in the feeding equipment described in the utility model, in some embodiments, the transport lifting member 22 includes a first transport member 221 and a second transport member 222, the first transport member 221 and the second transport member 222 are connected, and the first transport member 221 is configured to be able to adjust the distance between itself and the second transport member 222. In order to enhance the stability during the material handling process, the transport lifting member 22 is often provided with a plurality of fixing parts 223 to fix the material. However, different materials often have different sizes. For this reason, by setting this structure, the fixing parts 223 with fixed spacing can be effectively adapted to materials of different sizes to match the spacing adjustment ability of the second streamline assembly 211, which effectively enhances the compatibility of the equipment; in addition, since the spacing between the two can be adjusted accordingly, the contact area between the corresponding materials can be better increased, thereby improving the stability during handling. Preferably, the second transport member 222 is connected to the driving end of the driving member, and a mounting groove is provided on the second transport member 222, and a threaded hole is provided on the mounting groove, and a mounting part adapted to the mounting groove and a bar hole are provided on the first transport member 221. When facing materials of different sizes, the distance between the first carrying component 221 and the second carrying component 222 can be adjusted by changing the corresponding installation positions of the fasteners.

[0050] Reference Fig.11As shown, the feeding equipment described in the utility model, in some embodiments, further includes a silo streamline mechanism 40, which is arranged on the second transfer station S2, and the silo streamline mechanism 40 is used to transport materials. By setting the silo streamline mechanism 40, the buffering capacity and work efficiency of the equipment are further enhanced. Specifically, the original automatic guided transport vehicle needs to transport the materials to the handling and lifting member 22, or the handling and lifting member 22 can leave for other operations after taking the materials. However, the handling and lifting member 22 can only transport a certain amount of materials at a time, which is relatively inefficient. To this end, by setting the silo streamline mechanism 40, the automatic guided transport vehicle and the handling and lifting member 22 place the materials on the silo streamline mechanism 40, and the silo streamline mechanism 40 is used as a silo to cache materials, so that the automatic guided transport vehicle and the handling and lifting member 22 can operate more flexibly. Those skilled in the art can set the silo streamline mechanism 40 of different structures according to actual needs, which will not be repeated. Preferably, a protective cover structure is provided on the outside of the silo streamline mechanism 40 to prevent external factors from damaging the materials.

[0052] During operation, the materials transported by the streamline can be directly transported to the first streamline mechanism 11 through the third streamline mechanism 30 and the second streamline mechanism 21 in sequence, and positioned and fed through the feeding mechanism 12. Subsequently, the corresponding pallets are transported out by the first streamline mechanism 11, the second streamline mechanism 21 and the third streamline mechanism 30. Of course, they can also be transported to the silo streamline mechanism 40 through the transport lifting member 22 at the second streamline mechanism 21.

[0053] The materials transported by the automatic guided transport vehicle are first transported to the designated position by the silo streamline mechanism 40, and then the materials are lifted to the rated height by the transport lifting member 22. At the same time, the first transfer positioning driver 2311 drives the transfer positioning component 2313 to rise. After the transport lifting member 22 lifts the materials to the rated height, the transfer positioning component 2313 is driven by the second transfer positioning driver 2312 to position the materials at the top. Subsequently, the transport lifting member 22 descends, and the corresponding two second streamline components 211 are relatively close to each other. Next, the first transfer positioning driver 2311 drives the transfer positioning component 2313 to descend, so that the materials fall on the corresponding second streamline components 211, and the materials are transported to the first streamline mechanism 11 through the second streamline component 211 for operation, and the feeding mechanism 12 realizes positioning and feeding. Finally, the corresponding pallets are transported out by the first streamline mechanism 11, the second streamline mechanism 21 and the third streamline mechanism 30. Of course, it can also be transported to the silo streamline mechanism 40 at the second streamline mechanism 21 through the transport lifting member 22 .

[0054] Preferably, when unloading materials through the transport lifting member 22, the transfer positioning member 2313 first lifts and positions the corresponding materials, and the second streamline assembly 211 is relatively separated; after the transfer positioning member 2313 places the materials on the transport lifting member 22, the transport lifting member 22 is correspondingly lowered, and the second streamline assembly 211 is relatively closed, waiting for the subsequent materials. This is repeated, and when the transport lifting member 22 is filled with a specified amount of materials, the transport lifting member 22 is lowered and the materials are placed on the silo streamline mechanism 40, waiting for the automatic guided transport vehicle to operate.

For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
