[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides a feeding device, comprising: a turntable component 1, which is rotatably disposed; a clamping assembly 2, which is mounted on the turntable component 1 and moves under the drive of the turntable component 1; at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 is movably disposed to clamp or release the workpiece to be fed; and a feeding assembly 3, which is spaced apart from the turntable component 1, so that during the rotation of the clamping assembly 2 driven by the turntable component 1, at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 is pushed to move by the feeding assembly 3 to release the workpiece to be fed.

[0032] The feeding device provided by this invention includes: a turntable component 1, a clamping assembly 2, and a feeding assembly 3. The turntable component 1 is rotatably mounted; the clamping assembly 2 is mounted on the turntable component 1 and moves under the drive of the turntable component 1; at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 is movably mounted to clamp or release the workpiece to be fed; the feeding assembly 3 is spaced apart from the turntable component 1 so that during the rotation of the clamping assembly 2 driven by the turntable component 1, the feeding assembly 3 pushes at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 to move, thereby releasing the workpiece to be fed. Therefore, the feeding device of this invention, by setting up the turntable component 1, clamping assembly 2, and feeding assembly 3, allows the turntable component 1 to drive the clamping assembly 2 to rotate, and the feeding assembly 3 pushes at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 to move, causing the clamping assembly 2 to automatically release, thus achieving quick and automatic feeding. This feeding device has a simple structure, low production cost, high working efficiency, and is convenient for debugging and maintenance, thereby solving the problem of low automation in existing automatic dispensing equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the clamping assembly 2 includes a first clamping part 201 and a second clamping part 202. Both the first clamping part 201 and the second clamping part 202 have clamping ends. The clamping ends of the first clamping part 201 and the second clamping ends of the second clamping part 202 are close to or far from each other to clamp or release the workpiece to be unloaded.

[0034] The specific structure of the unloading component 3 in this embodiment is as follows: the unloading component 3 includes an unloading component 301, which is used to cooperate with the first clamping part 201 to stop the first clamping part 201 when the turntable component 1 drives the clamping component 2 to move, so that the clamping end of the first clamping part 201 is away from the clamping end of the second clamping part 202.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the unloading component 301 is a roller, which is rotatably arranged, and the outer peripheral surface of the roller is used to contact the first clamping part 201.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping part 201 includes a clamping body 203 and a stop protrusion 204 disposed on the clamping body 203. The outer peripheral surface of the stop protrusion 204 is cylindrical and is used to contact the outer peripheral surface of the unloading part 301.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the feeding device needs to feed material, the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to rotate. Before rotating to the feeding assembly 3 position, the clamping ends of the first clamping part 201 and the second clamping part 202 in the clamping assembly 2 approach each other. When the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to rotate to the feeding assembly 3 position and the outer peripheral surface of the stop protrusion 204 of the first clamping part 201 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the unloading component 301, the unloading component 301 in the feeding assembly 3 stops the first clamping part 201, so that the clamping end of the first clamping part 201 moves away from the clamping end of the second clamping part 202, thereby realizing the automatic release of the part to be fed.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the unloading assembly 3 also includes a positioning block 302 and an elastic element 303. The unloading component 301 is mounted on the positioning block 302. The elastic element 303 is connected to the positioning block 302 so that the unloading component 301 is kept in contact with the first clamping part 201 under the pressure of the elastic element 303.

[0039] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are multiple elastic elements 303 arranged in parallel. Preferably, the elastic element 303 is a spring, and there are two elastic elements 303 arranged in parallel.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the feeding assembly 3 also includes a guide post 304, a positioning block 302 that slides with the guide post 304, and an elastic element 303 that is sleeved on the guide post 304; the axis of the guide post 304 is arranged radially along the turntable component 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the feeding assembly 3 also includes a main board body 305, a sub-board body 307, and a stop block 310. The main board body 305 is provided with a mounting groove 306. The sub-board body 307 includes a positioning part 308, which is installed in the mounting groove 306. The positioning part 308 is provided with a positioning groove 309, and the opening of the positioning groove 309 is opposite to the bottom of the mounting groove 306. The stop block 310 stops at the opening of the positioning groove 309. The elastic element 303 and the positioning block 302 are both installed in the positioning groove 309.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the positioning block 302 carries the unloading component 301 and reciprocates on the guide post 304. When the unloading component 301 contacts the stop protrusion 204 of the first clamping part 201, the unloading component 301 remains in contact with the first clamping part 201 under the pressure of the elastic member sleeved on the guide post 304. At the same time, a stop block 310 is provided at the opening of the positioning groove 309 to prevent the positioning block from slipping and to limit its movement.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first clamping groove is provided on the first clamping part 201, and a second clamping groove is provided on the second clamping part 202. The openings of the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are arranged opposite to each other.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first transmission block 205 is provided on the first clamping part 201, and a second transmission block 206 is provided on the second clamping part 202. The first transmission block 205 and the second transmission block 206 are engaged by a gear structure.

[0045] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gears on the first transmission block 205 and the second transmission block 206 mesh together, causing the first clamping part 201 and the second clamping part 202 to move closer or further apart, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 2 to clamp or release the workpiece to be unloaded.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 11As shown, the clamping assembly 2 also includes a pressure plate assembly 207, which is disposed on one side of the first clamping part 201 and / or the second clamping part 202, so as to press it onto the workpiece to be unloaded; at least a portion of the pressure plate assembly 207 is oscillatingly disposed to press or release the workpiece to be unloaded.

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the pressure plate assembly 207 includes a first pressure plate 208 and a second pressure plate 209. The first pressure plate 208 is swayably disposed on the first clamping part 201, and the second pressure plate 209 is swayably disposed on the second clamping part 202.

[0048] The unloading assembly 3 also includes an unloading protrusion 311, which cooperates with the pressure plate assembly 207 to release the workpiece to be unloaded when the turntable component 1 drives the clamp assembly 2 to move.

[0049] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the unloading protrusion 311 is located on the side of the main body 305 near the clamp assembly 2.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the unloading protrusion 311 is strip-shaped, and the two ends of the unloading protrusion 311 are distributed along the rotation direction of the turntable component 1. From the two ends to the middle, the height of the unloading protrusion 311 gradually increases.

[0051] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 11 As shown, the feeding assembly 3 also includes a linear bearing 312, which is mounted on the positioning block 302 and slides with the guide post 304.

[0052] In actual work process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly 2 is mounted on the turntable component 1, and the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to rotate. The unloading assembly 3 is placed at any position on the turntable component 1. When the clamping assembly 2 needs to unload, the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to rotate to the position of the unloading assembly 3. After the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to the position of the unloading assembly 3, as the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to continue rotating, the stop protrusion 204 of the first clamping part 201 in the clamping assembly 2 comes into contact with the unloading component 301, thereby stopping the first clamping part 201 in the unloading assembly 3. As the turntable component 1 continues to rotate, the clamping end of the first clamping part 201 moves away from the clamping end of the second clamping part 202. At the same time, the pressure plate assembly 207 on the clamp assembly 2 will come into contact with the unloading protrusion 311 in the unloading assembly 3, and the unloading protrusion 311 will press the pressure plate assembly 207 to swing, so that the end of the pressure plate assembly 207 pressed on the workpiece to be unloaded will be released. As the turntable assembly 1 continues to rotate, the end of the pressure plate assembly 207 pressed on the workpiece to be unloaded will reach the maximum release state, thereby releasing the workpiece to be unloaded and completing the unloading.

[0053] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0054] The feeding device provided by this invention includes: a turntable component 1, a clamping assembly 2, and a feeding assembly 3. The turntable component 1 is rotatably mounted; the clamping assembly 2 is mounted on the turntable component 1 and moves under the drive of the turntable component 1; at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 is movably mounted to clamp or release the workpiece to be fed; the feeding assembly 3 is spaced apart from the turntable component 1 so that during the rotation of the clamping assembly 2 driven by the turntable component 1, the feeding assembly 3 pushes at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 to move, thereby releasing the workpiece to be fed. When the feeding device needs to feed, the turntable component 1 drives the clamping assembly 2 to rotate, and the feeding assembly 3 pushes at least a portion of the clamping assembly 2 to move, causing the clamping assembly 2 to automatically release, thus achieving quick and automatic feeding. Therefore, this feeding device has a simple structure, low production cost, high working efficiency, and is convenient for debugging and maintenance, thereby solving the problem of low automation in existing automatic dispensing equipment.
