[0002] Currently, the feeding and leveling of roll materials are mostly handled by different equipment, resulting in a large equipment footprint. Furthermore, it is impossible to know the leveling effect of the roll material after leveling. If the leveling equipment malfunctions, the roll material may not be leveled up to standard. Consequently, when the roll material is processed into products using external molds, the products may not meet customer requirements, leading to losses for the factory.

[0003] Therefore, the existing methods for feeding and leveling roll materials have the following problems: First, the operation of multiple machines results in a large footprint; second, it is impossible to know whether the leveled roll material meets the requirements.

[0038] Application Overview

[0039] Currently, the feeding and leveling of roll materials are mostly handled by different equipment, resulting in a large equipment footprint. Furthermore, it is impossible to know the leveling effect of the roll material after leveling. If the leveling equipment malfunctions, the roll material may not be leveled up to standard. Consequently, when the roll material is processed into products using external molds, the products may not meet customer requirements, leading to losses for the factory.

[0040] Therefore, there is a need for an automatic feeder that integrates feeding and leveling, can detect the leveling effect of the roll material, has a small footprint, and is highly practical.

[0041] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes an automatic feeder, wherein the automatic feeder has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes and expensive materials, and has high economic efficiency. At the same time, for manufacturers, the automatic feeder provided by this application is easy to produce and has low cost, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further facilitates product promotion and use.

[0042] Indicative automatic feeder

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 9 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feeder includes a body, a feeding component 20 and a first leveling component 30. The body is disposed on the ground, and the feeding component 20 and the overall component are disposed on the body.

[0044] It should be noted that the feeding assembly 20 is used to place the outer roll material, and the leveling device is used to level the outer roll material. The leveling device is also configured to pull the outer roll material disposed on the feeding assembly 20 by squeezing.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the body includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12. Both the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are located on the ground. The first shell 11 has a cavity communicating with the outside. The second shell 12 is located on one side of the first shell 11 and is connected to the first shell 11.

[0046] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 20 is disposed on the side of the second housing 12 near the cavity, and the first leveling assembly 30 is disposed on the top of the first housing 11 and directly opposite the cavity.

[0047] It should be noted that, for example Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the feeding assembly 20 includes a frame assembly 21 and a retractable feed head 22. The frame assembly 21 is rotatably disposed on the side of the second housing 12 near the cavity, and the retractable feed head 22 is disposed on the frame assembly 21. The retractable feed head 22 is used to install external roll material, wherein the retractable feed head 22 can be extended or retracted to accommodate external roll material of different sizes.

[0048] Furthermore, the frame assembly 21 includes a turntable 211 and a first rotating shaft 212. The first rotating shaft 212 is rotatably disposed on the side of the second housing 12 near the cavity, and the turntable 211 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 212. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 212 drives the turntable 211 to rotate and move closer to the second housing 12. It should be noted that a motor is provided inside the second housing 12, and one end of the first rotating shaft 212 is fixedly connected to the motor, while the other end extends a predetermined length away from the second housing 12.

[0049] It should be noted that the end of the first rotating shaft 212 facing away from the second housing 12 has a connecting hole. Further, the retractable feed head 22 includes a connecting shaft 221, one end of which is threadedly connected to the connecting hole.

[0050] Furthermore, the retractable feed head 22 also includes a slide cylinder 222, which is slidably disposed on the first rotating shaft 212. The slide cylinder 222 has a stepped hole and a first mounting hole. The first mounting hole and the stepped hole are connected and are located at both ends of the slide cylinder 222, respectively. The end of the first rotating shaft 212 facing away from the second housing 12 is slidably inserted into the first mounting hole and close to the stepped surface forming the stepped hole.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the retractable feed head 22 also includes a bearing 223, which is connected to the connecting shaft 221 and is placed in the stepped hole, and the bearing 223 abuts against the stepped surface forming the stepped hole.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the retractable feed head 22 also includes a cover plate 224, which is fixedly connected to one end of the slide cylinder 222 that has the stepped hole to close the stepped hole. The end of the connecting shaft 221 that is away from the first rotating shaft 212 passes through the cover plate and is placed on the side of the cover plate away from the slide cylinder 222.

[0053] It should be noted that the bearing 223 can be implemented as a planar bearing 223. Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing 223 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 221, and the connecting shaft 221 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole. Therefore, when the connecting shaft 221 rotates, due to the threaded connection, the connecting shaft 221 simultaneously moves laterally, thereby causing the bearing 223 to move laterally. Since the stepped surface forming the stepped hole and the cover plate 224 limit the lateral movement of the bearing 223, the bearing 223 drives the slide cylinder 222 to move back and forth on the first rotating shaft 212.

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the retractable feed head 22 also includes four connecting blocks 225. The four connecting blocks 225 are evenly distributed and fixedly connected to the surface of the slide cylinder 222, and the four connecting blocks 225 are all spaced at a predetermined distance from the turntable 211.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that the turntable 211 also has four evenly distributed sliding grooves 21101, all of which penetrate the turntable 211 and correspond to the four connecting blocks 225 respectively, and all four sliding grooves 21101 are close to the edge of the turntable 211.

[0056] Furthermore, the retractable feed head 22 also includes four moving components, which are respectively oscillatingly disposed on the four connecting blocks 225, and the side of the four moving components near the turntable 211 is respectively placed in the four sliding grooves 21101.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that each of the moving components includes a moving plate 2261 and at least one first support plate 2262. One end of the moving plate 2261 passes through the slide groove 21101 and is close to the second housing 12, while the other end is located on the side of the turntable 211 opposite to the second housing 12. It should be noted that the moving plate 2261 is parallel to the ground, and each of the four moving plates 2261 is spaced a predetermined distance from the four connecting blocks 225, meaning that the moving plate 2261 is located on the side of the connecting block 225 opposite to the slide cylinder 222.

[0058] Furthermore, the first support plate 2262 is fixedly connected to the corresponding moving plate 2261, and the first support plate 2262 is located on the side of the moving plate 2261 away from the slide cylinder. It is worth mentioning that the outer roll material is disposed on the four first support plates 2262.

[0059] Furthermore, each of the moving components includes at least two swing members 2263, one end of each of the at least two swing members 2263 being rotatably connected to both sides of the corresponding connecting block, and the other end being rotatably connected to both sides of the corresponding moving plate 2261.

[0060] Furthermore, each of the moving components includes at least one first rolling element 2264 and at least one second rolling element 2265. The first rolling element 2264 is rotatably disposed on the moving plate 2261, and one side of the first rolling element 2264 abuts against the side of the turntable 211 away from the second housing 12. The second rolling element 2265 is also rotatably connected to the moving plate 2261, and one side of the second rolling element 2265 abuts against the side of the turntable 211 near the second housing 12, thereby preventing the moving plate 2261 from disengaging from the corresponding groove 21101.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that when the slide cylinder 222 moves away from the second housing 12, the two swing members 2263 swing at a predetermined angle towards the turntable 211 at the ends away from the slide cylinder 222. Since the moving plate 2261 cannot disengage from the slide groove 21101, the moving plate 2261 moves a predetermined distance towards the center of the turntable 211, thereby reducing the aperture formed by the four first support plates 2262. Conversely, the aperture formed by the four first support plates 2262 increases, thus adapting to different sizes of external roll materials.

[0062] It is worth mentioning that the top of the second housing 12 also has two opposing support portions 121, and both support portions 121 have an insertion hole, and both insertion holes penetrate the support portion 121.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the automatic feeder further includes a connector 41 and a second rotating shaft 42. One end of the second rotating shaft 42 passes through the two insertion holes in sequence, and the other end is located on the side of the second housing 12 near the cavity. The second rotating shaft 42 is also located on the upper side of the turntable 211. The connector 41 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 42 and is located between the two support parts 121.

[0064] Furthermore, the automatic feeder also includes a second support plate 43 and a first drive component 44. The second support plate 43 is disposed on the side of the support portion 121 near the first housing 11, and the second support plate 43 is also disposed on the top of the second housing 12. The side of the second support plate 43 away from the second housing 12 is an inclined surface. The first drive component 44 is disposed on the inclined surface of the second support plate 43. The first drive component 44 has a first telescopic end, which is rotatably connected to the connector 41. It is worth mentioning that the first drive component 44 can control the first telescopic end to extend or retract by a predetermined length, thereby controlling the reciprocating rotation of the second rotating shaft 42 through the connector 41.

[0065] It is worth mentioning that the automatic feeder also includes an extrusion plate 45 and a roller 46. One end of the extrusion plate 45 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 42 and is located on the side of the second housing 12 near the cavity. The other end of the extrusion plate 45 extends towards the turntable 211. The roller 46 is rotatably connected to the end of the extrusion plate 45 away from the second rotating shaft 42 and is directly opposite one of the first support plates 2262. It is worth mentioning that the extrusion plate 45 is used to limit the tightness of the outer roll material entering the first leveling assembly 30 from the feeding assembly 20. That is, the extrusion plate 45 can rotate a predetermined angle towards the turntable 211 so that the roller 46 extrudes the outer roll material. Conversely, the extrusion plate 45 can rotate a predetermined angle away from the turntable 211 so that the roller 46 loosens the outer roll material.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the first leveling component 30 includes a first connecting plate 311 and a second connecting plate 312. The first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312 are disposed opposite to each other and are both disposed on the top of the first housing 11.

[0068] Furthermore, the first leveling component 30 also includes a feeding component 32, which is disposed on the side of the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312 near the first housing 11. It should be noted that the outer roll material disposed on the feeding component 20 first passes through the feeding component 32.

[0069] Furthermore, the feeding component 32 includes two third support plates, which are respectively disposed on the side of the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312 near the second housing 12.

[0070] It is worth mentioning that both of the third support plates have a first mounting groove, and the feeding component 32 also includes a fourth support plate. Both ends of the support plate are fixedly connected to the two first mounting grooves, and the fourth support plate has two opposing second mounting grooves. The feeding component 32 also includes two first moving blocks, one end of which is slidably disposed within the two second mounting grooves, and the two first moving blocks are spaced apart by a predetermined distance. It is also worth mentioning that the two first moving blocks can move a predetermined distance towards or away from each other, thereby controlling the spacing between the two first moving blocks to accommodate external roll materials of different sizes.

[0071] Furthermore, the feeding component 32 also includes two third rolling elements. Both ends of the two third rolling elements are rotatably connected to the side of the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312 that are close to each other. The two third rolling elements are spaced apart by a predetermined distance and are both located on the side of the fourth support plate that is close to the second housing 12. It is worth mentioning that the outer roll passes through the two third rolling elements and the two third rolling elements are arranged vertically.

[0072] Furthermore, the first leveling component 30 also includes two oppositely arranged fixed blocks 33 and two oppositely arranged rotating blocks 34. The opposite sides of the two fixed blocks 33 are close to the opposite sides of the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate 312, and the bottom of the two fixed blocks 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the first housing 11, thereby defining the position of the fixed blocks 33. The opposite sides of the two rotating blocks 34 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the two fixed blocks 33 near the wall of the feeding component 32, that is, the opposite side of the two rotating blocks 34 can swing at a predetermined angle, thereby causing the rotating blocks 34 to tilt up or flatten.

[0073] It should be noted that each of the fixing blocks 33 has a second mounting hole and a third mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole are arranged opposite to each other, and the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole are spaced apart by a predetermined distance.

[0078] It should be noted that the first leveling assembly 30 further includes a first slider assembly 36, which is disposed on the side of the first top plate 313 near the first housing 11. The first slider assembly 36 includes two second moving blocks 361, which are slidably disposed in the two third mounting slots 3401. The first slider assembly 36 also includes a fourth roller 354, whose two ends are respectively connected to the two second moving blocks 361.

[0080] It should be noted that the second driving component 363 and the third driving component 373 can control the length of the second telescopic end and the third telescopic end, respectively, so that the two second moving blocks 361 and the two third moving blocks 371 move a predetermined distance toward or away from the first housing.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that the first leveling assembly 30 also includes a third slider assembly 38, which is disposed between the first slider assembly 36 and the second slider assembly 37. The third slider assembly 38 includes two fourth moving blocks 381, a fourth top plate 382, ​​and a plurality of sixth rollers 356. The two fourth moving blocks 381 are slidably placed in the two fourth mounting slots 3402, and both ends of the plurality of sixth rollers 356 are respectively connected to the sides of the two fourth moving blocks 381 that are close to each other. The fourth top plate 382 is opposite to the two fourth moving blocks 381. One side of the first housing 11 is fixedly connected. It is worth mentioning that the third slider assembly 38 also includes a plurality of fourth driving components 383. The plurality of fourth driving components 383 are disposed on the first top plate 313, and each of the plurality of fourth driving components 383 has a fourth telescopic end. The plurality of fourth telescopic ends penetrate the first top plate 313 and are fixedly connected to the fourth top plate 382. The fourth driving component 383 can control the length of the fourth telescopic end, thereby causing the two fourth moving blocks 381 to move a predetermined distance toward or away from the first housing 11.

[0082] The plurality of sixth rollers 356 and the plurality of third rollers 353 are arranged alternately, thereby enabling the plurality of sixth rollers 356 and the plurality of third rollers 353 to compress the outer roll material.

[0083] It should be noted that two fifth driving components 391 are respectively provided on both sides of the first leveling component 30. Both fifth driving components 391 are located on the top of the first housing 11, near the end of the first leveling component 30 opposite to the feeding component 20. In addition, each of the fifth driving components 391 has a fifth telescopic end, which is located at the end of the fifth driving component 391 opposite to the first housing 11, and the fifth driving component 391 is configured to control the length of the fifth telescopic end. A connecting rod 392 is provided between the two fifth telescopic ends. The two ends of the connecting rod 392 are hinged to the two fifth telescopic ends. The two fifth telescopic ends can extend or retract by a predetermined length, so that the connecting rod 392 moves toward or away from the first housing 11. The connecting rod 392 passes through the first connecting plate 311 and the two rotating blocks 34, so that when the connecting rod 392 moves up or down, the ends of the two rotating blocks 34 away from the feeding assembly 20 swing toward or away from the first housing 11.

[0084] It should be noted that when the two rotating plates are tilted up, the user can easily clean the second roller 352, the fifth roller 355, the multiple third rollers 353 and the multiple sixth rollers 356, thereby preventing the leveling group from accumulating dirt.

[0085] It should be noted that the top of the first housing 11 has two oppositely arranged first extensions 111 and two oppositely arranged second extensions 112. The two first extensions 111 are located on one side of the first leveling component 30, and the two second extensions 112 are located on the other side of the first leveling component 30, and are both close to the end of the first leveling component 30 away from the feeding component 20. The two fifth driving components 391 are respectively rotatably disposed on the side where the two first extensions 111 are close to each other and the side where the two second extensions 112 are close to each other.

[0086] The principle of the first leveling component 30 will be briefly explained below.

[0087] The outer roll material enters the first leveling assembly 30 through the feeding mechanism. First, the outer roll material passes between the first roller 351 and the fourth roller 354, where the fourth roller 354 can move a distance closer to the first roller 351, causing the first roller 351 and the fourth roller 354 to compress the outer roll material, thus achieving initial leveling. Then, the outer roll material passes between multiple third rollers 353 and multiple sixth rollers 356. Next, the multiple sixth rollers 356 can move a predetermined distance closer to the multiple third rollers 353, causing the multiple third rollers 353 and the multiple sixth rollers 356 to compress the outer roll material, thus deforming it. Then, the deformed outer roll material passes between the third roller 353 and the fifth roller 355, where the fifth roller 355 can move a predetermined distance closer to the third roller 353, thereby compressing the outer roll material again, thus achieving a good leveling effect.

[0088] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first leveling assembly 30 further includes multiple gears, which respectively engage with the ends of the first roller 351, the second roller 352, the multiple third rollers 353, the fourth roller 354, the fifth roller 355, and the multiple sixth rollers 356 near the end of the second connecting plate 312. The multiple gears are sequentially meshed and connected. The automatic feeder also includes a motor, which is located on the bottom wall forming the cavity and connected to the second roller 352 via a chain, thereby driving the third roller 353 to rotate, thus causing the first roller 351, the multiple third rollers 353, the fourth roller 354, and the fifth roller 355 to rotate.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the automatic feeder includes a detection component 50, which is disposed on the side of the first housing 11 opposite to the second housing 12, wherein the detection component 50 is configured to detect the leveling effect of the external roll material.

[0090] The detection component 50 includes a third housing 51, which is disposed on the side of the first housing 11 away from the second housing 12 and is placed on the ground.

[0091] The detection component 50 further includes a sixth driving component 52, which has a sixth telescopic end and is configured to drive the sixth telescopic end to extend or retract by a predetermined length.

[0092] Furthermore, the detection component 50 also includes a fifth support plate 53, which is disposed at the end of the sixth telescopic end opposite to the third housing 51. The detection component 50 also includes at least one agitation detection unit 54. It is worth mentioning that the agitation detection unit 54 has a telescopic probe 541. When the external roll material passes through the probe 541, the probe 541 can detect the leveling effect of the external roll material coming out of the first leveling component 30. That is, when a height difference occurs at a certain point of the external roll material, the probe 541 will extend and retract vertically to measure whether the leveling effect of the external roll material meets expectations.

[0093] It is worth mentioning that a second leveling component 60 is also provided on the top of the third housing 51. The second leveling component 60 is located on the side of the detection unit away from the first leveling component 30. The structure of the second integral component is the same as that of the first slider component 36 or the second slider component 37. Specifically, the outer roll material is squeezed by two seventh rollers to re-integrate the outer roll material to ensure the leveling effect (that is, when the vibration detection unit 54 detects that the leveling of the outer roll material is not up to standard, the second leveling component 60 operates). The ends of the two seventh rollers are connected by gears and driven by a motor and chain to rotate the gears, thereby causing the two seventh rollers to rotate. The motor is located inside the third housing 51.

[0094] In summary, the automatic feeder described in the embodiments of this application is explained, which provides advantages such as integrated feeding and leveling, ability to detect the leveling effect of roll material, small footprint, and high practicality.

[0095] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the automatic feeder has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes or expensive materials, and is highly economical. At the same time, for manufacturers, the automatic feeder provided in this application is easy to produce and inexpensive, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further facilitates product promotion and use.
