Among them, the material table 1 is used to stack the sheets for processing the bottom cover of the thermos cup; the second transition table 3 is provided with an oiling part 31; the first conveying part 4 is used to convey the sheets from the material table 1 to the first transition table 2; the second conveying part is used to convey the sheets from the first transition table 2 to the oiling part 31; the third conveying part 5 is used to convey the oiled sheets to the working table of the punch press.

[0047] In application, the sheet is stacked on the material table 1, the first conveying part 4 conveys the sheet from the material table 1 to the first transition table 2, the second conveying part conveys the sheet to the oiling component 31 so that the surface of the sheet is lubricated with lubricating oil, and the third conveying part 5 conveys the sheet with lubricating oil to a designated position on the working table of the punch press for punching.

[0048] The feeding system can replace manual feeding. Moreover, the feeding system is provided with multiple conveying parts and transition platforms, realizing relay feeding. Compared with a single conveying part for round-trip feeding, the feeding interval can be greatly shortened, thereby realizing continuous feeding, and the stroke of a single conveying part can be shortened, thereby facilitating the accuracy of the conveying position. Moreover, the feeding system realizes automatic oiling of the sheet by providing a second conveying part and an oiling component on the second transition platform. Oiling the sheet can reduce the generation of burrs, making the stamped bottom cover smoother, and it is easier to ensure the uniformity of the oiling than manual oiling.

[0049] Specifically, the feeding system further includes a control cabinet 7 , and the material platform 1 , the first transition platform 2 , the second transition platform 3 , the first conveying part 4 , the second conveying part and the third conveying part 5 are all integrated on a cabinet body 71 of the control cabinet 7 .

[0050] More specifically, the control components of the control cabinet 7 include sensors and control modules. The sensors are used to sense whether there is a sheet on the second transition table 3.

[0051] Among them, the control module communicates with the punch press to receive the feeding signal issued by the punch press; communicates with the sensor to receive the material presence signal and the material absence signal issued by the sensor; and communicates with the first conveying part 4, the second conveying part and the third conveying part 5 to send execution instructions to the three.

[0052] In addition, the control module is specifically configured as follows: when receiving a feeding signal from the punch press, a conveying instruction is issued to the third conveying part 5, and a material picking and conveying instruction is sent to the first conveying part 4; when receiving a no-material signal from the sensor, a material picking and conveying instruction is issued to the second conveying part; when receiving a material presence signal from the sensor, a material picking instruction is issued to the third conveying part 5.

[0053] Such arrangement enables the feeding system to feed materials automatically without manual control; moreover, by receiving the feeding signal from the punch press, joint control with the punch press is achieved, and there is no need for manual judgment on when the punch press needs to be fed; moreover, the material taking and conveying of the third conveying part 5 are triggered by different signals. Specifically, the material taking is triggered by the material presence signal on the second transition table 3, and the conveying is triggered by the feeding signal of the punch press. With such arrangement, the third conveying part 5 is already in a state of taking all the materials when the feeding signal of the punch press is received, thereby shortening the idle interval of the punch press, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the control cabinet 7 further includes a control panel 72 disposed outside the cabinet body 71 . The control panel 72 specifically includes a display screen and operation buttons so that humans can perform operations according to actual needs.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of positioning columns are provided on the cabinet 71, and a plurality of holes are opened on the material table 1, so that the positioning columns pass through the holes on the material table 1, thereby positioning the material table 1 on the cabinet 71. In addition, a plurality of retaining columns are also provided on the material table 1 to prevent the stacked materials on the upper layer from tipping over.

[0056] Specifically, the first conveying part 4 may include a first guide rail 41, a slide 42, a first driving source, a first material picking arm 43, and a second driving source 44.

[0057] In use, the second driving source 44 drives the first material picking arm 43 to slide downward along the slide 42 to pick up the material, and then slide upward along the slide 42 after picking up the material, so as to drive the material sheet to a position slightly higher than the first transition platform 2. Then, the first driving source drives the slide 42 and the first material picking arm 43 to slide along the first guide rail 41 together, and when they slide to the top of the first transition platform 2, the material sheet is placed on the first transition platform 2. After completing one material picking and conveying, the first conveying part 4 is reset along the opposite path to prepare for the next material picking and conveying.

[0058] Specifically, the second conveying unit includes a horizontal push cylinder disposed on the first transition platform 2, and a push plate is provided at the end of the piston rod of the horizontal push cylinder, which is used to push the sheet horizontally to the oiling component 31. In this way, the second conveying unit does not need a material picking step, thereby saving its material picking components. After completing one conveying, the second conveying unit resets along the opposite path to prepare for the next conveying.

[0059] Specifically, the oiling component 31 can be an oil tank, into which the sheet is pushed to achieve oiling, or can be two layers of oil brushes arranged up and down, between which the sheet is pushed to contact the oil brushes on both sides to achieve oiling.

[0061] In application, the third driving source drives the third guide rail 52 and the second material picking arm 53 to slide downward along the second guide rail 51, and then slide upward after picking up the material, driving the material sheet to a position slightly higher than the punching machine work surface. Then, the fourth driving source 54 drives the second material picking arm 53 to slide along the third guide rail 52, gradually driving the material sheet to slide above the designated position of the punching machine work surface, and placing the material sheet at the designated position. After completing one material picking and conveying, the third conveying part 5 is reset along the opposite path to prepare for the next material picking and conveying.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the first material picking arm 43 extends in the up-down direction, the second material picking arm 53 extends in the second horizontal direction, one end of the second material picking arm 53 is connected to the third guide rail 52, and a suction cup 6 is connected below the other end of the second material picking arm 53 and the lower end of the first material picking arm 43. The suction cup 6 can be a vacuum suction cup 6, of course, it is not limited to this, for example, it can also be a magnetic suction cup 6, both of which are well known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and working principles are not repeated here.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the first guide rail 41, and one side of the slide seat 42 is installed in the guide groove. The other side of the slide seat 42 is provided with a seat groove with upper and lower openings, and the first material taking arm 43 is installed in the seat groove.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the first driving source and the third driving source are both cylinders, and the second driving source 44 and the fourth driving source 54 are both motors. Motors have higher precision than cylinders, and correspondingly, the configuration cost is also higher. In this way, cylinders are configured for the material picking process with lower precision requirements, and motors are configured for the conveying process with higher precision requirements. This can not only meet the precision requirements, but also help reduce the system cost.
