Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of conveying equipment, in particular to a tubular material feeding feeder. Background Art

[0002] With the development of automated equipment, fully automated equipment has been used in many large production workshops for production, integrating the loading, processing, unloading and conveying processes into a fully automatic mode of the assembly line, which greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the labor of workers.

[0003] At present, in the assembly of electronic components and circuit boards, feeders are usually used to transport electronic components. For materials stored in a tube-on-reel manner, vibration is generally used to vibrate the materials out of the coil for the insertion machine to grab. However, the feeding feeder using vibration often causes material jamming, resulting in unreliable feeding. Moreover, this type of feeding feeder has a complex structure, many operating actions, and high operating power consumption. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims at the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide a tubular material feeding feeder, which has a reasonable structure and effectively solves the problems of unreliable feeding and complex structure of the existing feeding feeder.

[0008] The pipe feeding mechanism includes two pipe storage frames, a hook and a stop block. The pipe storage frames are arranged at a distance behind the feeding channel. The two pipe storage frames surround a storage area for accommodating a pipe disc. The hook is installed on the pipe storage frame and connected to a first cylinder. The first driving cylinder drives the hook into the storage area to hook the pipe disc to be fed. The stop block is connected to a second cylinder. The second cylinder is installed below the hook. The second cylinder drives the stop block into the storage area to support the feeding pipe disc.

[0009] The pushing mechanism includes a first motor, at least one toothed disc and a pushing spring. The first motor is connected to the toothed disc, and the pushing spring is sleeved on the toothed disc. The first motor drives the toothed disc to rotate and transmits the pushing spring to enter the feeding tube disc to push the material in the tube disc to the feeding channel.

[0010] As a preferred solution: the hook is located above the feeding channel, and when the hook hooks the tube disc to be fed, the bottom surface of the tube disc to be fed is flush with the top surface of the feeding channel;

[0011] The stop block is located below the feed channel. When the stop block supports the feed tube disc, the bottom surface of the feed tube disc is flush with the bottom surface of the feed channel.

[0012] As a preferred solution: the frame is provided with a first window, and the first window is arranged behind the feed channel;

[0013] The pipe material storage frame is located above the first window, and when the second cylinder is reset and exits the accommodating area, the feeding pipe tray falls through the first window.

[0019] As a preferred solution: a first gear is installed at the output end of the first motor, the gear plate includes a first gear plate and a second gear plate that are meshed with each other, the first gear is connected to the first gear plate, the second gear plate is provided with a first groove, and the push spring is sleeved in the first groove.

[0020] As a preferred solution: the pushing mechanism is further provided with a first limiting tube and a second limiting tube, wherein the first limiting tube is installed on one side of the toothed disc and extends vertically;

[0021] The second limiting tube is installed on the tube storage frame and extends horizontally;

[0022] The push spring enters the feeding tube disc through the first limit tube, the second toothed disc and the second limit tube to push the material.

[0023] As a preferred solution: a first limiting plate is installed on the top of the feed channel, and a second window is constructed around the front end of the feed channel;

[0026] As a preferred solution: the thickness of the frame is less than 20CM.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical scheme that: by setting a push spring, the push spring enters the feeding tube disc to push the material into the feeding channel for the insertion machine to grab. Compared with the traditional vibrating feeding feeder, it will not have the problem of material jamming, thereby improving the reliability of feeding;

[0028] Secondly, the first cylinder is used to drive the hook to hook the tube plate to be fed, and the lever principle formed between the hook and the first cylinder is used to reduce the driving force required by the first cylinder, so that the first cylinder can work with a low-power cylinder, reducing the overall power consumption of the feeding feeder;

[0029] Furthermore, by transmitting the push spring through the toothed disc, the strength of the push spring can be increased, thereby further ensuring that there is no jamming problem in the process of pushing the material, and the use is more reliable.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown, it shows the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a tubular material feeding flyer, including a frame 10, a tube material feeding mechanism 20 and a pushing mechanism 30.

[0058] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the front end of the frame 10 is provided with a feed channel 11, and the tube material feeding mechanism 20 and the pushing mechanism 30 are arranged in sequence from the rear of the feed channel 11; by optimizing the structural arrangement of the feeding feeder and adopting the front-to-back arrangement, the thickness of the frame 10 is reduced, and the thickness of the frame 10 can be less than 20CM, so that the plug-in machine can simultaneously install multiple such feeding feeders. At the same time, the feed channel 11 is set at the center of the frame 10; when the plug-in machine is equipped with multiple such feeding feeders, multiple plug-in manipulators can be used to pick up materials at the same time, saving material picking time and improving plug-in efficiency.

[0059] As mentioned above, a first mounting plate 15 is provided at the bottom of the front end of the frame 10, and a first plug strip 16 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting plate 15. The upper plug-in machine is provided with a slot adapted to the first plug strip 16. When installing the feeding feeder, the first plug strip 16 can be directly aligned with the slot and inserted to complete the installation of the feeding feeder. Compared with the method of placing the transmission on the side of the plug-in machine through a fixed frame, the position of the feeding feeder is not easily changed by external factors, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the plug-in machine to take materials. A connector 17 is provided at the rear of the first mounting plate 15, and the plug-in machine and the feeding feeder are connected by plug-in, which is very convenient to use.

[0060] See also Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the pipe feeding mechanism 20 includes two pipe storage frames 21, a hook 22 and a stop block 23. The pipe storage frames 21 are spaced apart at the rear of the feed channel 11, and the two pipe storage frames 21 surround a accommodating area 210 for accommodating the pipe disc; the hook 22 is installed on the pipe storage frame 21 and is connected to a first cylinder 221, which drives the hook 22 to enter the accommodating area 210 to hook the pipe disc 40 to be fed; the stop block 23 is connected to a second cylinder 231, which is installed below the hook 22, and drives the stop block 23 to enter the accommodating area 210 to support the feeding pipe disc 50. Each pipe storage frame 21 includes a base plate 211 and two adjustment plates 212 installed on the base plate 211 at a distance. The base plates 211 are installed at a distance behind the feed channel 11, and the adjustment plates 212 are arranged on opposite sides of the two base plates 211. By setting the adjustment plates 212, the width of the accommodating area 210 can be adjusted according to the width of the coil to adapt to the corresponding coil storage. The adjustment plates 212 can be fastened by screws to facilitate adjustment.

[0061] The hook 22 is located above the feed channel 11. When the hook 22 hooks the feed tube disc 40, the bottom surface of the feed tube disc 40 is flush with the top surface of the feed channel. The stop block 23 is located below the feed channel 11. When the stop block 23 supports the feed tube disc 50, the bottom surface of the feed tube disc 50 is flush with the bottom surface of the feed channel. The frame 10 is provided with a first window 12, and the first window 12 is provided behind the feed channel 11. The pipe storage frame 21 is located above the first window 12. When the second cylinder 231 is reset and exits the accommodating area 210, the feed tube disc 50 falls through the first window 12. Usually, a storage frame is provided below the first window 12 to recover the fallen tube disc.

[0062] See also Figure 8 As shown, the hook 22 includes a main body 222 and a hook part 223. In the embodiment of the present application, a first rotating shaft 224 is provided at one end of the main body 222, and a second rotating shaft 225 is provided at the other end. The pipe storage frame 21 is provided with a first base, the first rotating shaft 224 is rotatably mounted on the first base, and the second rotating shaft 225 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 221. The hook part 223 is provided at one side of the main body 222 and close to one end of the first rotating shaft 224. When the first cylinder 221 is extended, the hook part 223 enters the accommodating area 210, and when it is retracted, the hook part 223 exits the accommodating area 210.

[0063] In the initial state, the hook portion 223 extends into the accommodating area 210; at this time, the accommodating area 210 is loaded, that is, the coils with the material 60 are placed one by one in the accommodating area 210, and are stacked up and down in sequence; when working, the second cylinder 231 first drives the stop block 23 to enter the accommodating area 210; then, the first cylinder 221 drives the hook portion 223 to withdraw from the accommodating area 210, so that the coil falls down, and the bottom layer of the coil is supported on the stop block 23, and the bottom layer of the coil is used as the feeding coil, and the coil to be fed is stacked on the upper end of the feeding coil, and then the first cylinder 221 drives the hook 22 portion to extend into the accommodating area 210 to hook the coil to be fed; after waiting for the feeding coil material 60 to be fed, the second cylinder 231 drives the stop block 23 to withdraw from the accommodating area 210, so that the feeding coil falls and then resets, and the above actions are repeated to continue feeding the coil.

[0064] Figure 4-Figure 7As shown, the push mechanism 30 includes a first motor 31, at least one toothed disc 32 and a push spring 33. In the embodiment of the present application, the first motor 31 is connected to the toothed disc 32, and the push spring 33 is sleeved on the toothed disc 32; the first motor 31 drives the toothed disc 32 to rotate, and drives the push spring 33 to enter the feeding tube disc 50, and pushes the material 60 in the tube disc to the feeding channel 11. Specifically, a first gear 311 is installed at the output end of the first motor 31, and the toothed disc 32 includes a first toothed disc 321 and a second toothed disc 322 that mesh with each other. The first gear 311 is connected to the first toothed disc 321, and the second toothed disc 322 is provided with a first groove 323, and the push spring 33 is sleeved in the first groove 323.

[0065] The pushing mechanism 30 is also provided with a first limiting tube 34 and a second limiting tube 35. The first limiting tube 34 is installed on one side of the toothed disc 32 and is vertically extended; the second limiting tube 35 is installed on the tube storage frame 21 and is horizontally extended; the pushing spring 33 enters the feeding tube disc 50 through the first limiting tube 34, the second toothed disc 322 and the second limiting tube 35 to push the material 60. By using the first limiting tube 34 and the second limiting tube 35, the pushing spring 33 will not be displaced when it moves, and the pushing process can be ensured to be more reliable.

[0066] See also Figure 1 As shown, a first limiting plate 13 is installed on the top of the feeding channel 11, and a second window 14 is constructed around the front end of the feeding channel 11; the pushing spring 33 pushes the material 60 in the feeding tube disc 50 into the feeding channel and is sequentially exposed in the second window 14. The first limiting plate 13 is used to limit the material 60 entering the feeding channel to prevent individual materials 60 from shifting upward and leaving the feeding channel when multiple materials 60 are transferred to the feeding channel, thereby ensuring a more reliable feeding process.

[0067] The design focus of the present invention is that: by setting a push spring 33, the push spring 33 enters the feeding tube disc 50 to push the material 60 into the feeding channel 11 for the insertion machine to grab. Compared with the traditional vibrating feeding feeder, it will not cause the problem of material 60 being stuck, thereby improving the reliability of feeding;

[0068] Secondly, the first cylinder 221 is used to drive the hook 22 to hook the tube disc 40 to be fed, and the lever principle formed between the hook 22 and the first cylinder 221 is used to reduce the driving force required by the first cylinder 221, so that the first cylinder 221 can work with a low-power cylinder, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the feeding flyer;

[0069] Furthermore, by transmitting the push spring 33 through the toothed disc 32, the strength of the push spring 33 can be increased, thereby further ensuring that there is no jamming problem in the process of pushing the material 60, and the use is more reliable.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
