Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, and in particular to an automatic dispensing device and an automatic dispensing system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main feeding method in automated cylindrical terminal assembly equipment is vibratory feeder feeding, which can arrange various materials in an orderly manner. The pulse electromagnet under the vibratory feeder hopper causes the hopper to vibrate vertically, thereby causing torsional vibration, which makes the material in the hopper rise along the spiral track. During the rising process, the material is screened by a series of tracks and arranged in an orderly and neat manner, accurately conveyed to the next process.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies: vibratory feeders can only be used for materials of a single shape. When the material shape is different, the vibratory feeder needs to be redesigned, which makes it inconvenient to separate and transport multiple materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To facilitate the sorting and transportation of various materials, this application provides an automatic sorting device and an automatic sorting system.

[0005] This application provides an automatic material dispensing device and automatic material dispensing system, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic material dispensing device includes:

[0007] The hopper has an insertion slot that runs through its bottom;

[0008] A pusher frame, wherein a fixing plate is provided on the pusher frame and located within the hopper, the fixing plate extending from one end of the hopper to the other end; and

[0009] The material pushing mechanism includes a drive unit mounted on the material pushing frame and a movable plate connected to one end of the drive unit. The drive unit is located outside the hopper, and the movable plate extends into the hopper from the insertion slot and blocks the insertion slot. The drive unit can drive the movable plate to move vertically within the hopper to transfer and distribute the material in the hopper to the fixed plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component can drive the movable plate to move vertically in the hopper, and the movable plate can push the material to move, thereby facilitating the sequential transfer of the material in the hopper to the fixed plate, and sorting out a single row of material on the fixed plate. In addition, the movable plate can drive the movement of materials of different shapes, thereby facilitating the material distribution device to distribute and transfer various different materials.

[0011] Optionally, multiple fixed plates and multiple movable plates are provided. Each fixed plate is arranged close to each movable plate. The top of each fixed plate is at a different height from the bottom of the silo to form a stepped arrangement. Each movable plate is used to transfer material step by step from the fixed plate closest to the bottom of the silo to the fixed plate farthest from the bottom of the silo.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple fixed plates and multiple movable plates are arranged in a stepped manner, which makes it easier for the movable plates to transfer the material in the silo from the fixed plate closest to the bottom of the silo to the fixed plate farthest from the bottom of the silo, thereby making it easier to sort the material stacked in the silo into a neatly arranged single row of material.

[0013] Optionally, the fixed plate and the movable plate are respectively provided with guide surfaces at the ends away from the bottom of the hopper, and the guide surfaces are inclined from the ends away from the hopper toward the bottom of the hopper.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, guide surfaces are provided on the fixed plate and the movable plate, so that the material always tends to move along the guide surfaces when it is on the fixed plate or the movable plate. Thus, when the guide surfaces on the movable plate and the fixed plate are on the same side, the material can fall from the movable plate to the fixed plate, which facilitates the material distribution and transportation, and helps to reduce the possibility that the material will fall back into the hopper when the movable plate pushes the material to move.

[0015] An automatic material dispensing system includes the automatic material dispensing device described in any one of the above descriptions, and further includes: a support frame and a discharge belt mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a discharge mechanism respectively mounted on the support frame. The support frame is disposed on one side of the fixed plate so that the discharge belt mechanism receives the material conveyed from the fixed plate. The clamping mechanism is disposed close to the discharge belt mechanism and is used to clamp the material on the discharge belt mechanism and send it to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is used to adjust the position of the material, and the discharge mechanism is used to transfer the material on the rotating mechanism to the processing position.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge belt mechanism can receive the material conveyed from the fixed plate and transport the material to the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism can clamp the material and transport it to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism can drive the material to rotate and adjust the material to the designated position. The discharge mechanism can transfer the material on the rotating mechanism to the processing position, thereby facilitating the material distribution and transfer, and thus facilitating the next step of processing.

[0017] Optionally, the discharge belt mechanism includes a discharge motor and a belt. The discharge motor and the belt are respectively mounted on the support frame. The belt is positioned close to the fixed plate. The discharge motor is used to drive the belt to rotate. Limiting baffles are respectively provided on both sides of the belt. A limiting block is provided on the side of the limiting baffle away from the belt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting baffle makes it difficult for the material to fall off the belt when it moves with the belt, and the setting of the limiting block makes it difficult for the material to pile up on the belt, thus making it easy for the material to be arranged in a single row on the belt.

[0019] Optionally, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping assembly and a pressing cylinder mounted on the support frame. The pressing cylinder is located on the side of the clamping assembly near the hopper. The pressing cylinder is used to restrict the material from moving with the discharge belt mechanism. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the material on the discharge belt mechanism and send it to the rotating mechanism.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material passes through the pressing cylinder, the pressing cylinder can restrict the material from moving with the discharge belt mechanism, so that the clamping component can face only one material at a time. This helps to reduce the possibility that after the clamping component clamps one material, the remaining material will still move with the discharge belt mechanism, causing the remaining material to detach from the discharge belt mechanism or interfere with the operation of the clamping component.

[0021] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a first driving cylinder, a second driving cylinder, and a third driving cylinder. The first driving cylinder is mounted on the support frame, the second driving cylinder is mounted on the first driving cylinder, and a first clamping plate is provided on the side of the second driving cylinder near the discharge belt mechanism. The third driving cylinder is mounted on the second driving cylinder, and a second clamping plate is provided on the side of the third driving cylinder near the discharge belt mechanism. The first driving cylinder is used to drive the second driving cylinder to move along the transmission direction of the discharge belt mechanism, and the second driving cylinder is used to drive the first clamping plate and the third driving cylinder to move along a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction of the discharge belt mechanism.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to transfer materials to the rotating mechanism, the third drive cylinder is first activated, which drives the second clamping plate to move closer to the second drive cylinder, so that the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate clamp the material. Then the first drive cylinder is activated, which drives the second drive cylinder and the third drive cylinder to move closer to the rotating mechanism. Then the second drive cylinder is activated, which drives the third drive cylinder and the first clamping plate to move closer to the rotating mechanism, thereby facilitating the transfer of materials to the rotating mechanism.

[0023] Optionally, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating cylinder, a turntable, and a laser displacement sensor. The rotating cylinder and the laser displacement sensor are respectively mounted on the support frame. The turntable is disposed on the rotating cylinder and has a limit groove. The limit groove is used to limit the material. The sensing end of the laser displacement sensor is disposed close to the limit groove and is used to detect the position of the material on the turntable.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the material can fall into the limiting groove, which limits the material. This allows the rotary cylinder to drive the material to rotate via the turntable, adjusting the material's position. Furthermore, the laser displacement sensor can detect the position of the material in the limiting groove, which is beneficial for accurately adjusting the material's position according to the requirements of the next process.

[0025] Optionally, the discharge mechanism includes a top-loading cylinder and a discharge assembly. The top-loading cylinder and the discharge assembly are respectively mounted on the support frame. The top-loading cylinder is used to transport the material on the rotating mechanism to the discharge assembly, and the discharge assembly is used to transfer the material to the processing position.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the top material cylinder facilitates the transfer of material on the rotating mechanism to the discharge component, thereby facilitating the transfer of material to the processing position.

[0027] Optionally, the discharge assembly includes a discharge cylinder and a clamping block. The clamping block is mounted on the discharge cylinder and is used to clamp the material. The discharge cylinder is used to drive the clamping block to rotate.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the top-loading cylinder can push the material onto the clamping block, making it easier for the clamping block to hold the material. The discharge cylinder can drive the clamping block to rotate, thereby making it easier to change the material on the clamping block from a horizontal to a vertical state, which facilitates subsequent processing.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. Through the cooperation of the fixed plate, driving components and movable plate, the material in the hopper can be transferred and distributed to the fixed plate by the movable plate, and the material transferred to the fixed plate can be arranged neatly and orderly, so as to facilitate the material distribution device to distribute and transfer various different materials.

[0031] 2. Through the cooperation of the fixed plate, driving component, movable plate, discharge belt mechanism, clamping mechanism, rotating mechanism and discharge mechanism, the material in the hopper can be divided into single rows for transfer and arranged neatly and orderly in a specific direction, thereby facilitating the next step of material processing.

[0032] 3. Through the cooperation of the pressing cylinder, the first driving cylinder, the second driving cylinder, the first clamping plate, the third driving cylinder and the second clamping plate, it is convenient to automatically clamp and distribute materials in a single row, and it helps to reduce the possibility of materials overlapping each other.

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0043] This application discloses an automatic material dispensing device.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automatic material dispensing device includes a hopper 1, a pusher frame 2, and a pusher mechanism 3. The hopper 1 and the pusher mechanism 3 are respectively mounted on the pusher frame 2. A fixed plate 21 located inside the hopper 1 is fixedly connected to the pusher frame 2, extending from one end of the hopper 1 to the other. An insertion slot 11 is formed through the bottom of the hopper 1. The pusher mechanism 3 includes a drive component 31 mounted on the pusher frame 2 and a movable plate 32 connected to one end of the drive component 31. The drive component 31 is located outside the hopper 1, and the movable plate 32 extends into the hopper 1 from the insertion slot 11 and blocks the insertion slot 11. This allows the drive component 31 to drive the movable plate 32 to move vertically within the hopper 1, transferring and dispensing the material from the hopper 1 onto the fixed plate 21.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The driving component 31 can be of various types; in this embodiment, the driving component 31 is a cylinder. Multiple movable plates 32 are provided, and these plates are spaced apart and mounted on the output end of the driving component 31, thus facilitating the simultaneous reciprocating motion of multiple movable plates 32 within the hopper 1 by the driving component 31.

[0046] Multiple fixing plates 21 are provided. In this embodiment, three fixing plates 21 are provided. The three fixing plates 21 are arranged at intervals on the pusher frame 2, and the top of each fixing plate 21 is at a different height from the bottom of the hopper 1 to form a stepped arrangement.

[0047] In this embodiment, three movable plates 32 are also provided, and the three movable plates 32 are arranged in a stepped manner. The fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 32 are interlocked, and each fixed plate 21 is arranged close to each movable plate 32.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 The fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 32 are each provided with a guide surface at the end furthest from the bottom of the hopper 1. The guide surfaces are inclined from the end furthest from the hopper 1 toward the bottom of the hopper 1. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the guide surfaces is 30°. 0 This ensures that when the material is on the fixed plate 21 or the movable plate 32, it always tends to move along the guide surface under the action of gravity. When the guide surface on the movable plate 32 and the fixed plate 21 are on the same surface, the material can fall from the movable plate 32 onto the fixed plate 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the guide surface of a movable plate 32 and a fixed plate 21 are on the same side, the guide surface of the next movable plate 32 and the next fixed plate 21 are also on the same side, which facilitates the material to move between the movable plate 32 and the fixed plate 21 along the guide surface.

[0050] When the driving component 31 drives the movable plate 32 to move from the bottom of the hopper 1 to the top of the hopper 1, the movable plate 32 closest to the bottom of the hopper 1 can lift the material in the hopper 1. When the movable plate 32 and the guide surface on the fixed plate 21 are on the same side, the material can fall onto the adjacent fixed plate 21. Thus, when the driving component 31 drives the movable plate 32 to reciprocate, multiple movable plates 32 cooperate with each other to transfer the material step by step from the fixed plate 21 closest to the bottom of the hopper 1 to the fixed plate 21 farthest from the bottom of the hopper 1.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the silo 1 is inclined, and a partition plate 12 is fixedly connected inside the silo 1. The partition plate 12 is parallel to the fixed plate 21. There is a gap between the end of the partition plate 12 near the bottom of the silo 1 and the silo 1, so that the material in the silo 1 is not easily piled up at the movable plate 32, thereby facilitating the material distribution and transfer by the movable plate 32 and the fixed plate 21.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, two through-beam sensors 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hopper 1. The through-beam sensors 13 are located near the bottom of the hopper 1 and near the movable plate 32, so as to facilitate the detection of whether there is material in the hopper 1 by using through-beam sensors.

[0053] The implementation principle of the automatic material distribution device in this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to distribute and transfer materials, the drive component 31 is first activated, causing the drive component 31 to move the movable plate 32, so that the guide surface on the movable plate 32 closest to the bottom of the hopper 1 is on the same surface as the bottom surface of the hopper 1. At this time, the material in the hopper 1 falls onto the guide surface of the movable plate 32 under the action of gravity. Then, the drive component 31 drives the movable plate 32 to move away from the bottom of the hopper 1, so that the movable plate 32 is on the same surface as the guide surface on the fixed plate 21. At this time, the material on the movable plate 32 falls onto the adjacent fixed plate 21.

[0054] Next, the drive unit 31 moves the movable plate 32 towards the bottom of the hopper 1, so that the guide surface on the second movable plate 32 is on the same surface as the guide surface on the first fixed plate 21. At this time, the material on the first fixed plate 21 falls onto the second movable plate 32.

[0055] By repeating the above process, the material can be sorted and transferred.

[0056] The automatic material sorting device in this embodiment employs a three-stage reciprocating material sorting method, allowing the material in the hopper 1 to be sequentially transferred from the movable plate 32 to the fixed plate 21, where it is sorted into single rows. During the sorting process, the material automatically transfers from the movable plate 32 to the fixed plate 21 under the influence of gravity. Therefore, the automatic material sorting device in this embodiment can sort and transfer various different materials. Furthermore, the noise generated by the automatic material sorting device in this embodiment is relatively lower than that of the vibrating disc.

[0057] This application also discloses an automatic material dispensing system, including the automatic material dispensing device described above.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 An automatic material distribution system includes a support frame 4 and a discharge belt mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 6, a rotating mechanism 7, and a discharge mechanism 8, all mounted on the support frame 4. The support frame 4 is fixedly connected to a pusher frame 2, and both the support frame 4 and the discharge belt mechanism 5 are positioned close to a fixed plate 21, allowing the discharge belt mechanism 5 to receive materials conveyed from the fixed plate 21. The clamping mechanism 6 is positioned close to the discharge belt mechanism 5 and is used to clamp and transfer the material from the discharge belt mechanism 5 to the rotating mechanism 7. The rotating mechanism 7 adjusts the position of the material so that the discharge mechanism 8 can transfer the material in a specific position on the rotating mechanism 7 to the processing position.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 The discharge belt mechanism 5 includes a discharge motor 51 and a belt 52, wherein the discharge motor 51 and the belt 52 are respectively mounted on the support frame 4, and the discharge motor 51 is used to drive the belt 52 to rotate.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the belt 52 is positioned close to the side of the fixed plate 21, and the other end of the belt 52 is positioned close to the clamping mechanism 6, so that the belt 52 receives the material conveyed from the fixed plate 21 and can transfer the material to the clamping mechanism 6.

[0061] Limiting baffles 521 are provided on both sides of the belt 52. The limiting baffles 521 are fixedly installed on the support frame 4. The limiting baffles 521 are used to limit the material on the belt 52, thereby reducing the possibility of the material falling off the belt 52 and making the material neatly and orderly arranged on the belt 52.

[0062] A limiting block 522 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting baffle 521 away from the belt 52. The limiting block 522 is used to reduce the possibility of material stacking on the belt 52. Thus, through the cooperation of the limiting baffle 521 and the limiting block 522, the material can be arranged in a single row on the belt 52.

[0063] A stop block 41 is fixedly connected to the support frame 4. The stop block 41 is located at the end of the belt 52 away from the hopper 1. The stop block 41 is used to limit the material on the belt 52, thereby reducing the possibility of the material falling off the belt 52.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 6 includes a clamping assembly 61 and a pressing cylinder 62 mounted on the support frame 4. The pressing cylinder 62 is located on the side of the limiting block 522 away from the hopper 1. When the material passes through the pressing cylinder 62, the pressing cylinder 62 can press down the material, making it difficult for the material to move with the belt 52.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The clamping assembly 61 is located on the side of the pressing cylinder 62 away from the hopper 1. The clamping assembly 61 includes a first driving cylinder 611, a second driving cylinder 612, and a third driving cylinder 613. The first driving cylinder 611 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 4, and the second driving cylinder 612 is fixedly mounted on the first driving cylinder 611. The first driving cylinder 611 can drive the second driving cylinder 612 to move along the transmission direction of the belt 52.

[0066] The third drive cylinder 613 is fixedly mounted on the second drive cylinder 612, so that the second drive cylinder 612 can drive the third drive cylinder 613 to move in a transmission direction perpendicular to the belt 52.

[0067] The output end of the second drive cylinder 612 is located near the belt 52, and the output end of the second drive cylinder 612 is fixedly connected to the first clamping plate 6121. The output end of the third drive cylinder 613 is also located near the belt 52, and the output end of the third drive cylinder 613 is fixedly connected to the second clamping plate 6131. ​​One end of the second clamping plate 6131 extends towards the belt 52, and the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 are arranged opposite to each other, so as to facilitate the clamping of materials by the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second drive cylinder 612 can drive the first clamping plate 6121 to move along a transmission direction perpendicular to the belt 52. The third drive cylinder 613 can drive the second clamping plate 6131 to move along a transmission direction perpendicular to the belt 52. Thus, the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 can move in the same direction or in opposite directions.

[0069] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5The rotating mechanism 7 is located on the side of the belt 52 away from the clamping mechanism 6, and the rotating mechanism 7 is arranged opposite to the clamping mechanism 6. When it is necessary to transfer material from the belt 52 to the rotating mechanism 7, one piece of material is first passed through the pressing cylinder 62, and then the pressing cylinder 62 is activated to press down the next piece of material.

[0070] At this time, the previous material continues to move with the belt 52 to between the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131. ​​The third drive cylinder 613 is activated, which drives the second clamping plate 6131 to move closer to the first clamping plate 6121, so that the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 clamp the material.

[0071] Next, the first drive cylinder 611 is activated, which simultaneously drives the second drive cylinder 612 and the third drive cylinder 613 to move closer to the rotating mechanism 7. Then, the second drive cylinder 612 and the third drive cylinder 613 are activated simultaneously, causing the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 to move towards the rotating mechanism 7, thereby facilitating the transfer of materials onto the rotating mechanism 7.

[0072] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The rotating mechanism 7 includes a rotary cylinder 71, a turntable 72, and a laser displacement sensor 73, wherein the rotary cylinder 71 and the laser displacement sensor 73 are respectively fixedly mounted on the support frame 4. The turntable 72 is mounted on the output end of the rotary cylinder 71, and the side of the turntable 72 facing away from the rotary cylinder 71 is parallel to the conveying surface of the belt 52.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A limiting groove 721 is provided on the side of the turntable 72 away from the rotary cylinder 71, and the opening direction of the limiting groove 721 is parallel to the diameter direction of the turntable 72. When the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 move the material to the limiting groove 721, the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131 move in opposite directions, so that the material falls into the limiting groove 721. This makes it easier for the limiting groove 721 to limit the material, so that when the rotary cylinder 71 drives the turntable 72 to rotate, the material is not easy to fall off the turntable 72, and thus it is easier to adjust the position of the material.

[0074] Reference Figure 6 The sensing end of the laser displacement sensor 73 is located close to the limiting groove 721. When the material is in the limiting groove 721, the laser displacement sensor 73 can detect the position of the material, so as to make it easier to accurately adjust the position of the material according to the requirements of the next process, and thus facilitate the adjustment of multiple materials to the same position before discharge.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6The discharge mechanism 8 includes a top-loading cylinder 81 and a discharge assembly 82, which are respectively mounted on the support frame 4. The output end of the top-loading cylinder 81 is located near the limiting groove 721, and the top-loading cylinder 81 can be inserted into the limiting groove 721 along the opening direction of the limiting groove 721.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The discharge assembly 82 includes a discharge cylinder 821 and a clamping block 822. The discharge cylinder 821 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 4 and is located at the end of the belt 52 away from the hopper 1. The clamping block 822 is fixedly mounted on the discharge cylinder 821. The discharge cylinder 821 can drive the clamping block 822 to rotate, and the axis around which the clamping block 822 rotates is perpendicular to the axis around which the turntable 72 rotates.

[0077] Reference Figure 6 The clamping block 822 has a clamping hole 8221, which is adapted to the shape of the material. When the clamping block 822 is close to the turntable 72, and the axis of the clamping hole 8221 is parallel to the opening direction of the limiting groove 721, the ejector cylinder 81 can push the material in the limiting groove 721 to move into the clamping hole 8221, thereby facilitating the clamping hole 8221 to clamp the material, and thus facilitating the discharge cylinder 821 to drive the material to the processing position through the clamping block 822. In this embodiment, the clamping block 822 drives the material from a horizontal to a vertical state, which is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 An automatic material distribution system also includes a control console 9, which is fixedly installed on a support frame 4. The control console 9 is used to control the operation of the pushing mechanism 3, the photoelectric sensor 13, the discharge belt mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 6, the rotating mechanism 7, and the discharge mechanism 8, thereby facilitating the normal operation of the automatic material distribution system.

[0079] The implementation principle of an automatic material distribution system in this application embodiment is as follows: when the material enters the hopper 1, the drive component 31 is activated, and the drive component 31 drives the movable plate 32 to move up and down reciprocally in the hopper 1, thereby transferring the material in the hopper 1 to the fixed plate 21 in sequence, and then allowing the material to fall from the fixed plate 21 onto the belt 52.

[0080] Next, the discharge motor 51 is started, causing the belt 52 to move the material closer to the pressing cylinder 62. After one piece of material passes the pressing cylinder 62, the pressing cylinder 62 is activated again to press down the next piece of material, and the third drive cylinder 613 is activated to clamp the material on the belt 52 between the first clamping plate 6121 and the second clamping plate 6131. ​​Then, the first drive cylinder 611 and the second drive cylinder 612 are activated in sequence to transfer the material to the turntable 72 and make the material fall into the limiting groove 721.

[0081] At this time, the laser displacement sensor 73 detects the position of the material. If the position is incorrect, the rotary cylinder 71 is activated, which drives the material to rotate to the corresponding position via the turntable 72. Then, the ejector cylinder 81 is activated to push the material in the limiting groove 721 into the clamping hole 8221, so that the material is clamped by the clamping block 822. Finally, the discharge cylinder 821 is activated, which drives the material from a horizontal to a vertical position via the clamping block 822, thereby facilitating subsequent processing of the material and completing the material distribution and transfer.

[0082] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
