Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0032] In order to meet the demand of feeding materials into a single bottom box, the stacked bottom boxes need to be separated individually. Currently, the separate separation of the bottom boxes is mainly carried out by a bottom box feeding mechanism.

[0033] At present, the bottom box feeding mechanism mainly relies on vacuum adsorption to take materials. Since the bottom boxes are stacked in sequence on the transmission member, the bottom box feeding mechanism in the prior art has the problems of inaccurate material distribution, easy material stacking, and low material distribution efficiency when in use.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 This embodiment provides a bottom box feeding mechanism 100, which can effectively improve the above-mentioned technical problems, avoid the phenomenon of material stacking during the material distribution process, improve the accuracy of material distribution, and improve the efficiency of material distribution.

[0035] It should be noted that, on the bottom box feeding production line, two groups of bottom box feeding mechanisms 100 can be used simultaneously to perform feeding operations, thereby increasing the bottom box feeding speed and thus improving the bottom box feeding efficiency.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a bottom box feeding mechanism 100 including a loading part 10, a picking part 20 and a dividing part 30, the loading part 10 is used to convey multiple bottom boxes in sequence, the picking part 20 and the loading part 10 are arranged at intervals, and the picking part 20 is movably arranged relative to the loading part 10, the picking part 20 is used to adsorb the back side of the bottom box, the dividing part 30 is arranged between the picking part 20 and the loading part 10, and when the bottom box slides out of the loading part 10 after being adsorbed by the picking part 20, the dividing part 30 rubs the edge of the bottom box, thereby preventing the bottom box that has not been adsorbed from sliding out of the loading part 10.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom box feeding mechanism in the prior art generally adsorbs from the front of the bottom box and then feeds it. This feeding method has the problems of inaccurate material distribution, easy material stacking, low efficiency and inaccurate feeding position. In order to solve this technical problem, when the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 is in use, the loading part 10 sequentially transports the bottom box to the feeding position, and then the material picking part 20 moves to the back of the bottom box to adsorb it. The adsorbed bottom box slides out of the loading part 10 under the drive of the material picking part 20. During the sliding process, the material dividing part 30 prevents the bottom box that has not been adsorbed from sliding out of the loading part 10 by rubbing against the edge of the bottom box. To avoid the phenomenon of stacking, the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 improves the accuracy of material distribution and improves the efficiency of material distribution.

[0038] Specifically, the loading part 10 is a conveyor belt line, on which a plurality of bottom boxes are stacked in sequence. The conveyor belt line conveys the bottom boxes, and a detection sensor is provided on the conveyor belt line. After the bottom box moves into place, the detection sensor detects a signal and the conveyor belt line stops moving.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the material dividing member 30 includes a plurality of material dividing paddles 31, and the plurality of material dividing paddles 31 are arranged at intervals. The outer surfaces of the material dividing paddles 31 are used for friction with the edge of the bottom box.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of the material dividing paddles 31 is two, and the distance between two adjacent material dividing paddles 31 is smaller than the distance between two opposite edges of the bottom box.

[0041] Specifically, one feeding piece 10 is provided with two dividing paddles 31 , and the two dividing paddles 31 are spaced apart and arranged on both sides of the feeding piece 10 . The arrangement direction of the dividing paddles 31 is the same as the conveying direction of the feeding piece 10 .

[0042] It should be noted that after the pick-up member 20 absorbs the bottom box, it drives the bottom box to slide out of the loading member 10. Since adjacent bottom boxes are tightly attached to each other, when the absorbed bottom box is driven to slide out, it may also bring out the bottom box that is not absorbed, resulting in the phenomenon of stacking. Therefore, in order to avoid the phenomenon of stacking, the pick-up member 20 drives the bottom box to slide out of the loading member 10, and the two material dividing paddles 31 simultaneously rub the two opposite side walls of the bottom box. The bottom box that is not absorbed will stop sliding under the action of friction, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of stacking when the bottom box that is not absorbed slides out of the loading member 10.

[0043] Specifically, the dividing paddle 31 is provided with a notch, the shape of the notch is adapted to the shape of the loading piece 10, so that the dividing paddle 31 can cooperate with the loading piece 10 and can be set at the end of the loading piece 10 to achieve the purpose of friction with the bottom box.

[0044] It should also be noted that the material dividing member 30 also includes a plurality of arc plates 32, which are connected to the material dividing paddles 31, and the number of arc plates 32 corresponds to the number of material dividing paddles 31. The arc plates 32 are used to guide the feeding direction of the bottom box.

[0045] Specifically, after the adsorbed bottom box follows the material picking part 20 to slide out of the loading part 10, the position of the bottom box corresponds to the feeding position, and the bottom box stays above the feeding chute. After the material picking part 20 stops adsorption, the bottom box slides into the feeding chute under the action of gravity. During the falling process, the arc plate 32 can guide the bottom box into the corresponding feeding chute to ensure accurate feeding.

[0046] Furthermore, the material dividing member 30 further includes a mounting rod 33 , and the material dividing paddle 31 and the arc-shaped plate 32 are both mounted on the mounting rod 33 .

[0047] Specifically, the end of the arc-shaped plate 32 and the mounting rod 33 are connected by bolts, and the material dividing paddle 31 and the arc-shaped plate 32 are welded.

[0048] In addition, in order to prevent the bottom box from moving back and forth during the adsorption process and affecting the feeding, the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 also includes a pressing piece 40, which is arranged on the top of the feeding piece 10 and is used to press the bottom box.

[0049] The pressing piece 40 is externally connected to a lifting cylinder, and the lifting cylinder drives the pressing piece 40 to move up and down, thereby pressing or loosening the bottom box.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pressing member 40 is a plate-shaped structure.

[0051] It should also be explained that the material picking part 20 includes a telescopic cylinder 21 and a vacuum suction head 22. The telescopic cylinder 21 and the vacuum suction head 22 are connected. The telescopic cylinder 21 is used to drive the vacuum suction head 22 to move closer to or away from the material loading part 10, and the vacuum suction head 22 is used to adsorb the back of the bottom box.

[0052] Specifically, there are multiple vacuum suction heads 22 , and the multiple vacuum suction heads 22 are arranged at intervals.

[0053] In this embodiment, one bottom box corresponds to two vacuum suction heads 22. The two vacuum suction heads 22 jointly suck the bottom box. In other embodiments, the number of vacuum suction heads 22 can be increased or decreased, which is not specifically limited here.

[0054] In addition, the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 further includes a plurality of mounting plates 50 , which are arranged at intervals, and the material dividing member 30 and the material taking member 20 are both mounted on the mounting plates 50 .

[0055] In this embodiment, there are two mounting plates 50 , and the two mounting plates 50 are spaced apart.

[0056] According to the working principle of a bottom box feeding mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment:

[0057] After the loading part 10 transports the bottom box into place, the lifting cylinder drives the pressing part to press the bottom box down, and then the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the vacuum suction head 22 to move toward the direction close to the loading part 10 to adsorb the back of the bottom box. The lifting cylinder drives the pressing part to move upward, and the telescopic cylinder 21 drives the vacuum suction head 22 to move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the bottom box to slide out of the loading part 10. During the sliding process, the two dividing paddles 31 simultaneously rub the two opposite side walls of the bottom box. The bottom box that is not adsorbed will stop sliding under the action of friction. After the adsorbed bottom box follows the picking part 20 to slide out of the loading part 10, the position of the bottom box at this time corresponds to the feeding position. The bottom box now stays above the feeding slide. After the picking part 20 stops adsorption, the bottom box slides into the feeding slide under the action of gravity.

[0058] The bottom box feeding mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0059] The bottom box feeding mechanism in the prior art generally performs adsorption from the front of the bottom box and then feeds it. This feeding method has the problems of inaccurate material distribution, easy material stacking, low efficiency and inaccurate feeding position. In order to solve this technical problem, when the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 is in use, the loading part 10 sequentially transports the bottom box to the feeding position, and then the material picking part 20 moves to the back of the bottom box to adsorb it. The adsorbed bottom box slides out of the loading part 10 under the drive of the material picking part 20. During the sliding process, the material dividing part 30 prevents the bottom box that has not been adsorbed from sliding out of the loading part 10 by rubbing against the edge of the bottom box. To avoid the phenomenon of stacking, the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 improves the accuracy of material distribution and improves the efficiency of material distribution.

[0060] To sum up, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bottom box feeding mechanism 100, which includes a loading part 10, a picking part 20 and a dividing part 30. The loading part 10 is used to convey multiple bottom boxes in sequence, the picking part 20 and the loading part 10 are arranged at intervals, and the picking part 20 is movably arranged relative to the loading part 10, the picking part 20 is used to adsorb the back side of the bottom box, and the dividing part 30 is arranged between the picking part 20 and the loading part 10. When the bottom box slides out of the loading part 10 after being adsorbed by the picking part 20, the dividing part 30 rubs the edge of the bottom box, thereby preventing the bottom box that has not been adsorbed from sliding out of the loading part 10. When the bottom box feeding mechanism 100 is in use, the loading member 10 sequentially transports the bottom boxes to the feeding position, and then the picking member 20 moves to the back of the bottom box to adsorb it. The adsorbed bottom box slides out of the loading member 10 under the drive of the picking member 20. During the sliding process, the separating member 30 rubs against the edge of the bottom box, thereby preventing the unadsorbed bottom box from sliding out of the loading member 10. This avoids the phenomenon of material stacking, improves the accuracy of material distribution, and improves the efficiency of material distribution.

[0061] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
