DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The present application provides a kind of technical scheme of automatic feeding equipment of printer selenium drum scraper: including cabinet body 1, feeding module 2 and feeding module 3, it is characterized in that, the feeding module 2 and feeding module 3 are assembled on the same plane of cabinet body 1;The cabinet body 1 includes rack 100, electrical cabinet 101, observation cabinet door 102, alarm device 103 and control panel 104;The control panel 104 is electrically connected with feeding module 2 and feeding module 3.

[0032] The feeding module 2 includes a first mounting plate 200, a motor 201, a lifting cylinder 202, a tray cylinder 203, a first transmission assembly 204, a matching tray 205, a pushing device 210 and a taking device 220. The first transmission assembly 204 is driven by the motor 201 to work, and the pushing device 210 and the matching tray 205 are arranged on the first transmission assembly 204 fixed to the first mounting plate 200. The matching tray 205 is vertically and neatly stacked above the first transmission assembly 204 with the aid of the fixed angle iron 206, and the tray cylinder 203 is arranged below the matching tray 205. The matching tray 205 can be sequentially brought down to the first transmission assembly 204 in the order of stacking by the lifting of the tray cylinder 203, so as to convey the matching tray 205 on which the scraper to be processed is placed to the below of the pushing device 210. It is worth mentioning that the bottom of the angle iron 206 is provided with a notch 207 for facilitating the taking out of the matching tray 205 by the first transmission assembly 204. The pushing device includes a lead screw motor 211, an infrared sensor and a right-angle pushing piece 212. The lead screw motor and the lead screw are assembled on the guide rail 213, and the right-angle pushing piece 212 with the infrared sensor is movably connected to the lead screw. The infrared sensor of the right-angle pushing piece 212 is used for distance detection. The taking device 220 is arranged in the axial movement direction of the pushing device 210. The taking device 220 drives the rocker mechanism 223 to make reciprocating motion in the process of working, so that the taking bracket 222 obtains the scraper to be processed on the matching tray 205. The taking bracket 222 contacts the scraper on the matching tray 205 in the process of taking, and the stacked scrapers are forced to move backward. The distance of the backward movement is detected by the infrared sensor, and then the feedback is fed back through the electrical signal. Then the lead screw motor drives the right-angle pushing piece 212 to move forward and push all the scrapers to be positioned, so as to meet the taking of the taking device 220 in the next range. The taking device 220 is provided with an infrared sensor. When the scrapers to be processed on the matching tray 205 are taken, the matching tray 205 is brought back to the first transmission assembly 204 by the lifting cylinder 202 at the bottom of the matching tray 205, and then the matching tray 205 is conveyed to the end by the first transmission assembly 204. The end can place a recovery cylinder, so that the matching tray 205 falls into the recovery cylinder to facilitate recovery, or the matching tray 205 is elevated to be arranged on the swing rack 208 of the end by another lifting cylinder 202 at the end to be recovered by the operator. Such design can lift the empty matching tray 205 on the swing rack 208 even if there is an empty matching tray 205 above. It should be noted that the feeding module 2 has two lifting cylinders 202, which correspond to the pushing device 210 and the swing rack 208 of the end respectively, and both of them are used to elevate the matching tray 205. The swing rack 208 is arranged in front of and behind the first transmission assembly 204. The swing rack 208 corresponding to the front tray cylinder 203 is used to take the matching tray 205, and the swing rack 208 corresponding to the end lifting cylinder 202 is used to place the matching tray 205.

[0033] When the material taking bracket 222 of the material taking device 220 takes the to-be-processed scraper, the subsequent delivery process is performed by the feeding module 3. The feeding module 3 comprises a second mounting plate 300, a first clamping device 301, a material delivery device 302, a second clamping device 303, a second transmission assembly 304 and a reciprocating feeding device 310, the first clamping device 301, the material delivery device 302, the second clamping device 303 and the reciprocating feeding device 310 are sequentially mounted on the second mounting plate 300 from left to right, and the first clamping device 301 and the second clamping device 303 are assembled on the second transmission assembly 304, wherein two motors are arranged on the second transmission assembly 304 to control the left-right translation of the first clamping device 301 and the second clamping device 303 respectively, and the first clamping device 301 and the second clamping device 303 are respectively provided with a linear cylinder to control the up-down movement thereof. Figure 11 It can be seen that two motors are arranged on the second transmission assembly 304 to control the left-right translation of the first clamping device 301 and the second clamping device 303 respectively, and the first clamping device 301 and the second clamping device 303 are respectively provided with a linear cylinder to control the up-down movement thereof. The first clamping device 301 places the to-be-processed scraper on the material delivery device 302 after clamping the to-be-processed scraper on the material taking bracket 222 by moving. The material delivery device 302 is also provided with an infrared sensor and a linear cylinder, so that when the scraper is located in the through slot of the material delivery device 302, the infrared sensor can feed back an electric signal to control the linear cylinder to work after sensing, thereby clamping the scraper in the through slot. Details can be seen in the following Figure 12 The structure diagram of the bottom feeding device. The material delivery device 302 clamping the to-be-processed scraper is turned over by 180° by the material delivery rotating cylinder thereof to reach below the second clamping device 303, so that the second clamping device 303 can move downward and clamp the to-be-processed scraper delivered by the finger cylinder. The second clamping device 303 clamping the scraper moves to the right to reach above the position of the reciprocating feeding device 310. The reciprocating feeding device 310 rotates by 90° in the plane based on the feeding rotating cylinder 315 thereof during the process of returning to the unloading position of the second clamping device 303, and the purpose is to be parallel to the scraper clamped by the second clamping device 303, so that the second clamping device 303 can stably, appropriately and correspondingly place the clamped scraper on the scraper fixing seat 314. The scraper fixing seat 314 is designed in parallel with two scraper fixing positions, and the two positions are provided with feeding infrared sensors 311. When the feeding infrared sensors 311 sense that the two positions are both placed with the scraper clamped by the second clamping device 303, an electric signal is sent to control the feeding linear cylinder 313 in the reciprocating feeding device 310 to move to the right, and control the feeding rotating cylinder 315 to rotate reversely by 90°. Details can be seen in the following Figure 13 , so as to meet the clamping mode of the subsequent process robot.

[0034] In order to realize automatic feeding, specifically, the process of scraping knife powder lubrication knife edge, the present application is developed, so the reciprocating feeding device 310 is placed after the scraping knife is placed by the external mechanical hand to clamp and move to the powder lubrication device. The present application is configured with a programmable system and a control panel 104 to control the whole feeding and feeding process to meet the actual processing conditions. The whole feeding and feeding process is to place the matched material disc 205 with the scraping knife placed in the present application in the processing area, that is, the front end of the placing rack 208, and then sent to the pushing device 210 by the first transmission assembly 204, the pushing device 210 pushes the scraping knife to the taking device 220, the first clamping device 301 takes the material on the taking device 220 and places it on the feeding device 302, the second clamping device 303 takes the material on the feeding device 302 and places it on the scraping knife fixing seat 314 to replace the manual feeding and subsequent manual process of the knife edge. It should be noted that, in addition to manually placing the matched material disc 205 with the scraping knife or taking back the empty matched material disc 205, the present application realizes accurate, stable and orderly scraping knife feeding through programming control, thereby avoiding the damage of weak scraping knife caused by manual feeding, reducing the yield and increasing the production cost.
