Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feeding device technology, and more particularly to a feeding device for boxed stacked materials. Background Technology

[0002] The flakes in boxed flakes are usually stacked inside the box. When the flakes are needed, they cannot usually be taken directly from the box by the adsorption or gripping mechanism. In this case, the flakes need to be manually removed from the box and placed on the workstation for the adsorption or gripping mechanism to take them. However, manual removal is cumbersome, wastes time, and cannot guarantee that the required materials are always available at the workstation.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN105712076B discloses a sheet-like object clamping device. This sheet-like object clamping device clamps materials using an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate, and then places the materials on the workstation using a moving mechanism.

[0004] When using the above-mentioned patent, the upper and lower clamping plates need to be inserted horizontally into the material when clamping it. At this time, the material needs to be stacked vertically, which makes the material easy to scatter. In addition, the upper and lower clamping plates can only clamp a limited number of materials, and a moving mechanism is required to drive the movement. The material picking distance is relatively long, which can easily lead to accidents where there is no material at the workstation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a boxed stacking material feeding device to solve the technical problems of easy material spillage and material shortage at workstations in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a boxed stacked material feeding device with the following technical solution:

[0007] A boxed stacking material feeding device includes: a support base with a fixed position, the length direction of the support base is defined as the front-to-back direction and the width direction as the left-to-right direction, and the fixed position is used to place a receiving box containing materials stacked sequentially in the left-to-right direction and having a notch on the right side for the materials to slide out.

[0008] An output channel is located on the right side of the support base. The inlet of the output channel is used to communicate with the notch so that the material can slide along the notch onto the output channel.

[0009] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding lifting drive that can reciprocate in the left and right direction and a paddle connected to the drive end of the feeding lifting drive. The paddle is used to insert into the receiving box to push the material to the right onto the output channel.

[0010] The conveying mechanism is used to transport the container from back to front to the fixed position. The conveying mechanism is equipped with limiting plates on both the left and right sides, and the distance between the two limiting plates is adapted to the length of the container in the left and right direction.

[0011] The baffle mechanism includes a baffle plate that can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. After the baffle plate is lowered to a set height, it can stop the container in a fixed position.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: In use, the boxed stacking material feeding device of the present invention first transports the container to a fixed position via a conveying mechanism. Then, under the action of a baffle plate, the container is limited to the fixed position. At this time, the driving component is activated, causing it to push the material along the notch into the output channel. The material then remains in the output channel for subsequent equipment to remove. When the material in the container at the fixed position is completely pushed onto the output channel, the pusher returns to its initial position, and the baffle plate rises to output the container. The conveying mechanism then transports the full container to the fixed position again, and finally, the pusher pushes the material once more. In use, the boxed stacking material feeding device of the present invention uses the pusher to sequentially push the material from each container into the output channel, thereby ensuring that there is always material in the output channel. Simultaneously, pushing the material is more convenient and avoids material scattering.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism is provided with two sets of feeding plates arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction. The two feeding plates move alternately in the left-to-right direction, so that after one feeding plate pushes all the material in the container into the output channel, the other feeding plate can continuously push the material in the next container at the fixed position.

[0014] Beneficial effects: It ensures a continuous supply of materials and avoids a power gap when the lever resets, thus ensuring that subsequent equipment can pick up materials at any time.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt that conveys from back to front. The conveyor belt includes a first conveyor belt segment and a second conveyor belt segment arranged sequentially in the front-back direction. Multiple first conveyor belt segments and multiple second conveyor belt segments are provided in the left-right direction. The first conveyor belt segments and the second conveyor belt segments are arranged alternately in the left-right direction.

[0016] Beneficial effects: Reduces the need for conveyor belts and lowers costs.

[0017] Furthermore, a lifting suction cup is provided between any two adjacent second conveyor belt segments. The lifting suction cup corresponds vertically to the fixed position and is used to adhere to the bottom surface of the receiving box located at the fixed position.

[0018] Beneficial effect: Ensures the stability of the container when the pusher pushes the material inside, and prevents the container from moving.

[0019] Furthermore, the baffle mechanism also includes a baffle lifting drive, which is used to drive the baffle plate to move up and down. The lifting end of the baffle lifting drive is connected to a mounting plate, and the baffle plate is positioned on the mounting plate in an adjustable manner along the front-back direction.

[0020] Beneficial effects: It makes it easy to adjust the position of the baffle plate in the front and back directions, so that the fixed position can accommodate containers of different sizes.

[0021] Furthermore, a material blocking mechanism is provided on the rear side of the output channel. The material blocking mechanism includes a second material blocking drive component, on which a baffle is connected. The baffle can extend into the output channel to block the material on the right side. The second material blocking drive component is used to drive the baffle to extend into or out of the output channel in the front-back direction.

[0022] Beneficial effect: Prevents materials that have entered the output channel from tilting and collapsing when the lever is reset.

[0023] Furthermore, the material blocking mechanism also includes a first material blocking drive member disposed on the lower end face of the output channel. The first material blocking drive member is connected to a material blocking connecting plate and is used to drive the material blocking connecting plate to move in the left and right directions. The connecting plate is connected to a second material blocking drive member to drive the baffle to move in the left and right directions. When the baffle is in the left position, it is used to abut against the material in the receiving box.

[0024] Beneficial effect: Ensures that materials do not tilt or collapse when they first enter the output channel.

[0025] Furthermore, each material feeding mechanism includes a material feeding support plate, and each of the two material feeding support plates is provided with a synchronous belt that runs in the left and right direction on one side opposite to the other. The material feeding lifting drive is located on the corresponding synchronous belt.

[0026] Beneficial effects: Simple structure, easy to reset the lever.

[0027] Furthermore, the paddle is provided with a clearance opening so that the two paddles can avoid each other when they move in opposite directions.

[0028] Beneficial effect: Increases the length of the paddle in the front-to-back direction, thereby ensuring that the paddle can stably push the material.

[0029] Furthermore, the output channel includes a horizontal conveying section and an inclined conveying section located to the right of the horizontal conveying section. The right end of the inclined conveying section is provided with a limiting gripper to stop the material for removal and use. At the connection between the horizontal conveying section and the inclined conveying section, there is also a material handling drive and a material handling plate. The material handling plate is connected to the material handling drive so that the material handling drive drives the material handling plate to move up and down and flatten the top of the material.

[0030] Beneficial effects: Simple structure and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0041] The principles and spirit of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1 of the boxed stacking material feeding device provided by the present invention:

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a boxed stacking material feeding device of the present invention includes a support base 1, an output channel, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a box blocking mechanism, and a material blocking mechanism.

[0044] The length direction of the support base 1 is defined as the front-to-back direction. The support base 1 is provided with a fixed position, which is used to place a container box 2 containing materials stacked sequentially in the left-to-right direction and with a notch 3 on the right side for the materials to slide out.

[0045] The output channel is located on the right side of the support base 1. The output channel includes a horizontal conveying section 19 and an inclined conveying section 20 located on the right side of the horizontal conveying section 19 and inclined downward. The right end of the inclined conveying section 20 is provided with a limiting gripper. The limiting gripper is used to stop the material at the right end of the inclined conveying section 20 so that the material can be taken away for use.

[0046] At the connection point between the horizontal conveying section 19 and the inclined conveying section 20, a material handling drive 21 and a material handling plate 22 are also provided. The shape of the material handling plate 22 is the same as that of the output channel. The material handling drive 21 is a material handling cylinder, and the material handling plate 22 is connected to the material handling cylinder so that the material handling drive 21 drives the material handling plate 22 to move up and down and flatten the top of the material, thereby allowing the material to slide stably into the inclined conveying section 20.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism is mounted on the support base 1. The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt that conveys from back to front. The conveyor belt includes a first conveyor belt segment 5 and a second conveyor belt segment 6 arranged sequentially in the front-back direction. There are two first conveyor belt segments 5 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and three second conveyor belt segments 6 are arranged in the left-right direction. The two first conveyor belt segments 5 and the three second conveyor belt segments 6 are arranged alternately in the left-right direction. A suction cup drive is also provided on the support base 1 between any two adjacent second conveyor belt segments 6. The drive is a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic end of the suction cup drive is vertically upward and connected to a lifting suction cup 7. The lifting suction cup 7 is used to adhere to the bottom surface of the receiving box 2 located at a fixed position, so as to stabilize the receiving box 2 when the material in the receiving box 2 is output, and prevent the receiving box from moving when the material is pushed, thereby avoiding the accident of material not being discharged.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the baffle mechanism includes a baffle lifting drive 9 located on the right side of the support base 1 and in front of the output channel. The baffle lifting drive 9 is a lifting cylinder. The telescopic end of the baffle lifting drive 9 is connected to the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 extends in the left and right direction. The upper surface of the mounting plate 10 is also provided with a baffle plate 11. The baffle plate 11 is lifted and lowered by the baffle lifting drive 9, so as to stop the container 2 at the fixed position or release it from the fixed position, so that the container 2 moves forward along the conveyor belt.

[0049] To enable the present invention to be applicable to receiving boxes 2 of different sizes, multiple connecting elongated holes extending in the front-back direction are spaced apart along the left-right direction on the upper surface of the mounting plate 10. The baffle plate 11 is an L-shaped plate, and the horizontal section of the baffle plate 11 is bolted to the connecting elongated holes. The vertical section of the baffle plate 11 is used to stop the receiving box 2 at the fixed position, and at the same time, the notch 3 of the receiving box 2 at the fixed position is set to correspond to the feed port of the output channel.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding structure has two sets symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the fixed position along the front-back direction. Each feeding mechanism includes a feeding support plate 16, a feeding lifting drive 18, and a feeding plate 4. The feeding support plates 16 of both sets of feeding mechanisms have synchronous belts 17 running in the left-right direction on opposite sides. The feeding lifting drive 18 is located on the corresponding synchronous belt 17, with its telescopic end arranged vertically downwards. The feeding plate 4 is located on the telescopic end of the feeding lifting drive 18 and is used to insert into the receiving box 2 to push the material to the right onto the output channel.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the material blocking mechanism includes a first material blocking drive 12 disposed on the lower end face of the output channel. A material blocking connecting plate 13 is connected to the first material blocking drive 12, and the first material blocking drive 12 is used to drive the material blocking connecting plate 13 to move in the left and right direction. A second material blocking drive 14 is disposed on the material blocking connecting plate 13, and a baffle 15 is connected to the second material blocking drive 14, and the baffle 15 is used to drive the baffle 15 to move in the front and back direction, so that the baffle 15 can extend into the output channel to block the material or extend out of the output channel to convey the material to the right. When the baffle 15 is in the left position, it is used to abut against the material in the receiving box 2 to prevent the material in the receiving box 2 from tilting when it is pushed onto the output channel.

[0052] To ensure the material pushing effect of the paddle and the contact between the paddle and the material in the middle with a certain contact area, and to avoid obstruction when the two paddles 4 move alternately in the left and right directions, each paddle 4 is provided with a clearance opening. In this embodiment, the paddle 4 has an L-shaped structure, and the aforementioned clearance opening is formed between the horizontal and vertical sections of the paddle 4.

[0053] To prevent the material inside the container 2 from scattering when it moves to the fixed position, the support bases 1 on both the left and right sides of the conveying mechanism are equipped with limiting plates 8. The distance between the two limiting plates 8 is the same as the length of the container 2 in the left and right direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, the aforementioned synchronous belt 17 is driven by a servo motor, and the output force of the servo motor is constant. When the pushing force of the pusher 4 is less than the resistance, the servo motor is still in working state but cannot push the material; when the pushing force is greater than the resistance, the servo motor can push the material to move.

[0055] To facilitate the insertion of the paddle 4 into the receiving box 2 to push the material, such as Figure 5 As shown, an opening 23 is provided on the left side of the container box. The opening 23 is adapted to the lever 4 so that the lever can move along the opening 23 into the container box 2 and push the material to the right.

[0056] In use, the boxed stacking material feeding device of the present invention first transports the receiving box 2 to a fixed position via a conveying mechanism, and then limits the receiving box 2 by a baffle plate 11. At this time, the lifting suction cup 7 is activated to clamp the bottom of the receiving box 2. Then, the first feeding mechanism is activated, so that the feeding plate 4 descends to the height corresponding to the opening 23 and is pressed against the left side of the material. At the same time, the baffle mechanism is activated to insert the baffle plate 15 into the output channel. At this time, the feeding plate 4 of the first feeding mechanism and the baffle plate 15 clamp the material. Then, the feeding plate 4 and the baffle plate 15 move to the right at the same time until the material is conveyed to be pressed against the material remaining in the output channel. Then, the baffle plate 15 is pulled out. The two sets of materials come into contact to prevent them from tilting and collapsing. The pusher 4 continues to push the materials until they are completely out of the receiving box 2. Then, the baffle plate 11 is raised to transport the receiving box 2 away and then lowered. At this time, a new receiving box 2 is transported to the fixed position. The pusher 4 of the second pushing mechanism is inserted into the new receiving box 2 and cooperates with the baffle plate 15 to push the materials. At the same time, the pusher 4 of the first pushing mechanism continues to push the materials towards the right end of the output channel. Finally, the baffle plate 15 comes into contact with the pusher 4 of the first pushing mechanism. At this time, the baffle plate 15 is pulled out and the pusher 4 of the first pushing mechanism is raised so that the two sets of materials come into contact to prevent them from tilting.

[0057] In use, the boxed stacking material feeding device of the present invention has two feeding mechanisms that can continuously supply materials to avoid material shortages, while pushing the materials to prevent damage. The baffle and the feeding plate work together to clamp the materials and prevent the materials from scattering or tilting during the pushing process.

[0058] Embodiment 2 of the boxed stacking material feeding device provided by the present invention:

[0059] The main difference between it and Example 1 is that in Example 1, an opening is provided on the left side wall of the container for the paddle to move in the left and right direction, and the material is in close contact with the left side wall of the container.

[0060] In this embodiment, no opening is made on the left side wall of the container. When placing materials in the container, a gap is reserved between the materials and the left side wall of the container for inserting the pry bar.

[0061] Embodiment 3 of the boxed stacking material feeding device provided by the present invention:

[0062] The main difference between it and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, the baffle lifting drive is located on the support base, the mounting plate is connected to the baffle lifting drive, and the baffle plate is connected to the mounting plate.

[0063] In this embodiment, the baffle lifting drive moves along the front-back direction and is mounted on the support base. At this time, the baffle plate is connected to the baffle lifting drive and no mounting plate is provided.

[0064] Based on the above description in this specification, those skilled in the art will also understand that the terms used, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "horizontal," etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as a limitation on the present invention.

[0065] In addition, in the description of this specification, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.
