[0063] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a feeding assembly, comprising:

[0064] The lifting feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding bin 110 and a lifting assembly 120. The feeding bin 110 is inclined and used to place workpieces. Under the action of gravity, the workpieces will automatically fall into the lower side of the feeding bin 110. The lifting assembly 120 is vertically and vertically arranged on the lower side of the feeding bin 110. The lifting assembly 120 lifts the workpieces upward by lifting. Thus, the operator only needs to pour the workpieces into the feeding bin 110, and the lifting assembly 120 can lift the workpieces in the feeding bin 110 in batches. The entire conveying process is fully automatic and does not require manual intervention. This not only improves the feeding efficiency but also saves labor costs. Furthermore, no significant noise is generated during the entire lifting feeding process.

[0065] The sorting and conveying mechanism 200 is located at the unloading end of the top of the feeding bin 110. The lifting component 120 conveys the workpiece to the sorting and conveying mechanism 200. The sorting and conveying mechanism 200 arranges and conveys the workpiece by flat vibration. In this embodiment, the sorting and conveying direction of the sorting and conveying mechanism 200 is a straight line, and the workpiece is conveyed by flat vibration. Compared with the existing technology of using a vibrating plate to sort and convey workpieces, the sorting and conveying mechanism 200 in this embodiment greatly reduces noise and ensures that it meets the current noise standards.

[0066] The feeding mechanism 300 is located at the unloading end of the sorting and conveying mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism 300 is used to transport the workpiece to the designated work station.

[0067] Preferably, the feeding bin 110 is provided with a first fixed plate 111 on one side of the feeding bin 110, and a second fixed plate 112 on the other side of the feeding bin 110.

[0068] The first fixed plate 111 is connected to the two side faces of the feeding bin 110.

[0069] The second fixed plate 112 is connected to the two side faces of the feeding bin 110, and a first gap is left between the first fixed plate 111 and the second fixed plate 112, and a second gap is left between the second fixed plate 112 and the bottom plate of the feeding bin 110.

[0070] Preferably, the lifting assembly 120 comprises:

[0071] A lifting cylinder 121;

[0072] A fixed plate 122 connected to the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 121;

[0073] A first lifting plate 123 connected to the fixed plate 122 through a first connecting plate, and the first lifting plate 123 is arranged in the first gap in a lifting manner;

[0074] A second lifting plate 124 connected to the fixed plate 122 through a second connecting plate, and the second lifting plate 124 is arranged in the second gap in a lifting manner;

[0075] That is, in the embodiment, when the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 121 is extended or retracted, the fixed plate 122 will move up and down, and in this process, since the first lifting plate 123 and the second lifting plate 124 are respectively connected to the fixed plate 122, the up and down movement of the fixed plate 122 will simultaneously drive the first lifting plate 123 and the second lifting plate 124 to move up and down.

[0076] Further, the lifting assembly 120 has a highest position and a lowest position, specifically, when the lifting assembly 120 is at the highest position, the top surface of the first lifting plate 123 is not lower than the top surface of the first fixed plate 111 and the top surface of the second lifting plate 124 is not lower than the top surface of the second fixed plate 112, and when the lifting assembly 120 is at the lowest position, the top surface of the first lifting plate 123 is not higher than the top surface of the second fixed plate 112 and the top surface of the second lifting plate 124 is not higher than the top surface of the bottom plate of the feeding bin 110.

[0077] That is, the lifting assembly 120 has two lifting and feeding processes, the first one is that the second lifting plate 124 transports the workpieces in the feeding bin 110 to the second fixed plate 112, and the second one is that the first lifting plate 123 transports the workpieces on the second fixed plate 112 to the first fixed plate 111, and through the two lifting and feeding processes, every lifting process of the lifting assembly 120 will have workpieces sent to the arrangement and conveying mechanism 200, ensuring the feeding efficiency.

[0078] Further preferably, the top surfaces of the first fixed plate 111, the first lifting plate 123, the second fixed plate 112 and the second lifting plate 124 are all provided as inclined surfaces, so that the workpieces can automatically roll from the top surface of the second lifting plate 124 onto the second fixed plate 112, then from the second fixed plate 112 onto the first lifting plate 123, and finally from the first lifting plate 123 onto the first fixed plate 111 and the arrangement and conveying mechanism 200 under the action of gravity.

[0079] Preferably, the arrangement and conveying mechanism 200 further comprises a support platform 400, which is horizontally arranged and connected with the feeding bin 110, and the arrangement and conveying mechanism 200 and the feeding mechanism are both arranged on the support platform 400.

[0080] Preferably, the arrangement and conveying mechanism 200 comprises:

[0081] a horizontal vibration generator 210 arranged on the support platform 400;

[0082] a horizontal vibration guide rail 220 horizontally arranged on the horizontal vibration generator 210, one end of the horizontal vibration guide rail 220 is located at the unloading end of the top surface of the first fixed plate 111 and the other end is close to the feeding mechanism 300, the horizontal vibration guide rail 220 is vibrated by the horizontal vibration generated by the horizontal vibration generator 210, so as to convey the workpieces from the unloading end of the first fixed plate 111 to the feeding mechanism 300, and the workpieces are conveyed by the horizontal vibration, which can effectively control the noise within the noise standard;

[0083] In addition, the horizontal vibration guide rail 220 is provided with a track clamping groove 221, both ends of the track clamping groove 221 are respectively a closed end and an open end, the open end is the end of the horizontal vibration guide rail 220 close to the feeding mechanism 300, and the closed end is provided with a sink groove 222, wherein the head end diameter of the workpiece is greater than the width of the track clamping groove 221, and the tail end diameter of the workpiece is less than the width of the track clamping groove 221, so that the track clamping groove 221 can clamp the workpieces and achieve the purpose of conveying, and the sink groove 222 is arranged as a transition zone between the track clamping grooves 221, so that the originally disordered workpieces can be automatically arranged and arranged into the track clamping groove 221;

[0084] a backflow groove 230, which is obliquely arranged and connected with the side of the feeding bin 110, the inlet of the backflow groove 230 is close to the horizontal vibration guide rail 220, and the outlet of the backflow groove 230 is in communication with the inside of the feeding bin 110, wherein the side of the horizontal vibration guide rail 220 close to the backflow groove 230 is provided with a backflow slope, when part of the workpieces fail to enter the sink groove 222 during the horizontal vibration, at this time, the workpieces will enter the backflow groove 230 along the backflow slope, and finally flow back to the feeding bin 110 and wait for re-feeding, avoiding the problem of workpiece jamming;

[0085] The material channel baffle 240 is vertically installed on the flat vibrating guide rail 220. The material channel baffle 240 ensures that the workpiece will not fall outwards before entering the rail clamping groove 221, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the workpiece conveying.

[0086] In addition, in this embodiment, the support platform 400 is also provided with a front sensor support plate 410, which is used to install the front sensor (not shown in the figure). The front sensor is located on one side of the track clamping groove 221 and aligned with the workpiece thereon. When there is a workpiece at this position, the automatic control of the flat vibration generator 210 generates flat vibration and transports the workpiece.

[0087] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 300 includes a translational lifting assembly 310 and a reversing assembly 320, the reversing assembly 320 being located on the side of the translational lifting assembly 310, wherein the translational lifting assembly 310 includes:

[0088] The movable plate 311 is set in a notch opened on the support platform 400;

[0089] The workpiece clamping block 312 is disposed on the moving plate 311. The workpiece clamping block 312 is provided with a workpiece clamping groove 3121. The workpiece clamping block 312 is located at the unloading end of the flat vibration guide rail 220. The workpiece can be transported from the flat vibration guide rail 220 to the workpiece clamping groove 3121. The workpiece clamping groove 3121 is a stepped groove adapted to the shape of the workpiece.

[0090] Mounting ears 313 are located on both sides of the movable plate 311;

[0091] A translation guide plate 311 is located on the side of the mounting ear 313, and a translation guide 314 passes through the translation guide plate 311 and the mounting ear 313.

[0092] The translation cylinder 315 is horizontally mounted on the translation guide post moving plate 311, and the cylinder shaft of the translation cylinder 315 is connected to the mounting ear 313. Thus, the translation cylinder 315 can drive the moving plate 311 to move laterally and move closer to or away from the reversing assembly 320. That is, when the workpiece is fed from the transverse guide rail 220 into the workpiece clamping groove 3121, the moving plate 311 is located on the side away from the reversing assembly 320. At this time, the translation cylinder 315 drives the moving plate 311 to move closer to the reversing assembly 320 and finally sends the workpiece into the reversing assembly 320.

[0093] In addition, the support platform 400 is also provided with a position sensor mounting plate 420, which is used to install the position sensor (not shown in the figure). The position sensor is aligned with the workpiece clamping slot 3121. Only when the position sensor senses that there is a workpiece in the workpiece clamping slot 3121 will the translation cylinder 315 drive the moving plate 311 to move in the direction of the reversing assembly 320.

[0094] Preferably, the translational lifting assembly 310 further includes:

[0095] The first linear guide 316 is vertically mounted on the moving plate 311 and is located at the bottom of the workpiece clamping block 312.

[0096] The workpiece lifting seat 317 is movably mounted on the first linear guide 316 via a slider. The workpiece lifting seat 317 has a positioning groove 3171. The positioning groove 3171 and the workpiece clamping groove 3121 are located on the same vertical axis. Specifically, when the workpiece is located in the workpiece clamping groove 3121, the lowest end of the workpiece extends into the positioning groove 3171, which can play a positioning role for the workpiece.

[0097] The baffle 318 is vertically arranged and connected to the mounting ear 313. The baffle 318 is located between the flat vibration guide rail 220 and the moving plate 311 and has a clearance opening. The workpiece clamping groove 3121 is connected to the track clamping groove 221 through the clearance opening.

[0098] More preferably, the baffle 318 has a notch, the bottom edge of the notch is a guide edge 3181 and has a high position and a low position, and the high position and the low position are connected by a slope transition.

[0099] In a further preferred embodiment, the side of the workpiece lifting seat 317 is also provided with a first guide bearing 319. The first guide bearing 319 is connected to the guide edge 3181. When the moving plate 311 moves laterally, the first guide bearing 319 moves along the guide edge 3181 and drives the workpiece lifting seat 317 to rise and fall. After the workpiece lifting seat 317 rises, it lifts the workpiece upward.

[0100] It is worth mentioning that when the workpiece clamping groove 3121 is connected to the track clamping groove 221, the moving plate 311 is located at the end away from the reversing assembly 320. At this time, the first guide bearing 319 is located on the lower side of the guide edge 3181, and the bottom end of the workpiece is located in the positioning groove 3171 but does not abut against the workpiece lifting seat 317. When the moving plate 311 moves closer to the reversing assembly 320, since the baffle 318 is always in a fixed position, the first guide bearing 319 moves synchronously with the moving plate 311 and climbs up the guide edge 3181 to the higher side. During this process, the first guide bearing 319 will drive the entire workpiece lifting seat 317 to move upward along the first linear rail 316. Then the workpiece lifting seat 317 can lift the workpiece upward so that the reversing assembly 320 can clamp the workpiece.

[0101] Preferably, the commutation assembly 320 includes:

[0102] The lifting linear module is vertically mounted on the support platform 400. The lifting linear module includes a fixed plate, a second linear rail 321 and a reversing cylinder 322. The second linear rail 321 is vertically mounted on the fixed plate.

[0103] A guide plate 323 is disposed on one side of the fixed plate, and the guide plate 323 is provided with an arc groove 3231;

[0104] The bearing housing moving plate 311 is set on the other side of the fixed plate and connected to the second linear rail 321 via a slider. Meanwhile, the reversing cylinder 322 is vertically set and connected to the bearing housing moving plate 311 via a connecting plate. When the reversing cylinder 322 starts to operate, it can drive the bearing housing moving plate 311 to move up and down along the second linear rail 321.

[0105] The swing arm 324 and the second guide bearing 325 are disposed in the arc groove 3231 and connected to the swing arm 324.

[0106] The bearing housing 326 has one end connected to the bearing housing moving plate 311 and the other end connected to the swing arm 324. At this time, the bearing housing 326, the swing arm 324 and the second guide bearing 325 form a linkage structure. As the bearing housing moving plate 311 moves up and down, it drives the bearing housing 326, the swing arm 324 and the second guide bearing 325 to move synchronously, and makes the second guide bearing 325 move along the arc groove 3231.

[0107] The finger cylinder assembly is located outside the bearing seat moving plate 311 and connected to the bearing seat 326. The finger cylinder assembly includes a mounting plate 327, a finger cylinder 328 and a finger clamp 329 connected in sequence. When the workpiece clamping block 312 moves to the bottom of the finger clamp 329, the finger clamp 329 can clamp the workpiece on the workpiece clamping groove 3121.

[0108] Specifically, after the finger clamp 329 clamps the workpiece, since the mounting plate 327 is connected to the bearing seat 326, the reversing cylinder 322 pushes upward, which drives the bearing seat moving plate 311 to move upward. During this process, since the second guide bearing 325 moves along the arc groove 3231, the bearing seat 326 and the finger cylinder assembly can make an upward turning motion, which ultimately causes the finger clamp 329 to turn from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby achieving the feeding purpose of the reversing assembly 320.

[0109] More preferably, the arc groove 3231 includes a vertical part and a horizontal part, with the vertical part and the horizontal part transitioning through an arc. When the second guide bearing 325 moves upward along the vertical part, the entire finger cylinder assembly moves vertically upward. Externally, the finger clamp 329 clamps the workpiece and moves upward until the workpiece is completely disengaged from the workpiece clamping groove 3121. Then, the finger clamp 329 can perform an upward turning motion to ensure the smooth progress of the feeding process.
