Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of material feeding technology, specifically relating to a channel-type material feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production lines, materials need to be replenished to the production equipment at intervals to ensure continuous operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the conventional material feeding method involves placing multiple materials regularly on the surface of a pallet, stacking the pallets one by one, and then having the user separate the pallets one by one to retrieve the materials when needed. This not only wastes manpower, but also results in large pallet space occupies and high material feeding costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a channel-type feeding device that can solve the problems in related technologies.

[0005] This application provides a channel-type feeding device, including: a support member, a clamping member, a first driving mechanism, a material blocking module, and a second driving mechanism. The support member is provided with a channel for accommodating multiple stacked materials. The channel extends along a first direction, and the first direction forms an angle with the horizontal direction.

[0006] The clamping member includes a first clamping part and a second clamping part. At least one of the first clamping part and the second clamping part is provided with a limiting tooth. The limiting tooth can extend into the gap between two adjacent materials. The first driving mechanism is connected to at least one of the first clamping part and the second clamping part. The first driving mechanism can drive at least one of the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move so that the first clamping part and the second clamping part jointly clamp the material.

[0007] The support member is provided with a discharge port communicating with the channel. The material blocking module is movably disposed at the discharge port and is used to support the bottom material. The second driving mechanism is connected to the material blocking module. The second driving mechanism can drive the material blocking module to move closer to or away from the discharge port in order to close the discharge port or move the bottom material out of the discharge port.

[0008] In this embodiment, the channel-type feeding device directly accommodates multiple stacked components via the channel. The first driving mechanism drives at least one of the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move, so that the first clamping part and the second clamping part jointly clamp the component. At the same time, the limiting tooth extends into the gap between the first component and the second component that are relatively close to the discharge port, that is, the limiting tooth extends into the gap between the bottom component and its adjacent component. The limiting tooth limits the second component that is relatively close to the discharge port, preventing other components except the bottom component from moving along the extension direction of the channel. Then, when the second driving mechanism drives the baffle module to open the discharge port, the bottom component loses the blocking effect of the baffle module and leaves the channel from the discharge port, while ensuring that the positions of other components remain unchanged, thus realizing the feeding process.

[0009] When the next feeding is required, the second drive mechanism drives the material blocking module to reset, and then the first drive mechanism drives the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move to release each material. At the same time, the limiting teeth no longer extend into the gap between two adjacent material parts, and the material parts lose the limiting effect of the limiting teeth. Since the material trough is not horizontal, each material part in the trough can move towards the discharge port under its own gravity, so that the material blocking module blocks the material parts again. Then the first drive mechanism drives the first clamping part and the second clamping part to move, so that the limiting teeth extend into the gap between the bottom material part and its adjacent material parts again to limit the other material parts except the bottom material part. The above process is repeated to pick up the material.

[0010] Therefore, the channel-type feeding device in this application embodiment only needs the channel to accommodate multiple stacked materials, without the need to set up pallets to support each material separately, which helps to reduce the space occupied; moreover, automatic feeding can be achieved through the cooperation of the first driving mechanism, the clamping member, the second driving mechanism and the material blocking module, without the need for manual material handling, which helps to save manpower and reduce the material supply cost.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] The channel-type feeding device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-9 The channel-type feeding device disclosed in this application includes a support member 100, a clamping member 200, a first driving mechanism 300, a material blocking module 400, and a second driving mechanism 500. The support member 100 serves as the mounting base for the clamping member 200, the first driving mechanism 300, the material blocking module 400, and the second driving mechanism 500. The clamping member 200, the first driving mechanism 300, the material blocking module 400, and the second driving mechanism 500 can all be disposed on the support member 100. The clamping member 200 is used to clamp stacked material pieces 600, and the first driving mechanism 300 is used to drive the clamping member 200 to clamp and release the material pieces 600. The specific structure of the material pieces 600 is not limited in this application embodiment. The material blocking module 400 is used to support the feeding piece 600, and the second driving mechanism 500 is used to drive the material blocking module 400 to move.

[0034] refer to Figures 1-2 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the support member 100 is provided with a channel 110 for accommodating multiple stacked components 600. The channel 110 extends along a first direction A, which forms an angle with the horizontal direction. Optionally, this angle can be an acute angle; or, the angle can be 90°, i.e., the first direction A is a vertical direction. Thus, the multiple components 600 accommodated by the channel 110 are also stacked along the first direction A. Optionally, the channel 110 can be a closed accommodating channel or an open accommodating channel. Further optionally, the support member 100 includes two guide rods and a plate-like structure. The two guide rods are respectively located on the side and top of the plate-like structure. The guide rods extend along the first direction A, and the guide rods and the plate-like structure together limit the components 600, causing the components 600 to be stacked along the first direction A. Of course, the support member 100 can also adopt other structures. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the support member 100.

[0035] Optionally, the angle between the first direction A and the horizontal direction can be in the range of 30°-60°, and more preferably, the angle between the first direction A and the horizontal direction can be 45°.

[0036] The clamping member 200 includes a first clamping portion 210 and a second clamping portion 220. The first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 can move closer to each other and further away from each other. When the first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 move closer to each other, they jointly clamp the material 600 in the channel 110, and the position of the material 600 in the channel 110 relative to the support member 100 is fixed. When the first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 move further away from each other, they release the material 600 in the channel 110, and the material 600 in the channel 110 can move relative to the support member 100 along a first direction A. The movement power of the first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 is provided by the first drive mechanism 300.

[0037] At least one of the first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 is provided with a limiting tooth portion 230. The limiting tooth portion 230 can be a tooth-like structure, and the specific shape of the limiting tooth portion 230 is not limited in the embodiments of this application. Optionally, only the first clamping portion 210 may be provided with the limiting tooth portion 230, only the second clamping portion 220 may be provided with the limiting tooth portion 230, or both the first clamping portion 210 and the second clamping portion 220 may be provided with the limiting tooth portion 230. (Reference) Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting tooth 230 can extend into the gap a between two adjacent parts 600, thereby limiting the part 600 and preventing it from moving relative to the support 100.

[0038] The first driving mechanism 300 is connected to at least one of the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220. The first driving mechanism 300 can drive the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move, so that the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 jointly clamp the workpiece 600. Specifically, the first driving mechanism 300 can be connected to either the first clamping part 210 or the second clamping part 220, and the first driving mechanism 300 drives the first clamping part 210 or the second clamping part 220 to move; or, the first driving mechanism 300 can be connected to both the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 at the same time, and the first driving mechanism 300 can drive both the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move at the same time.

[0039] Optionally, the first drive mechanism 300 can drive at least one of the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move linearly, and the first drive mechanism 300 can be a drive component capable of generating linear displacement, such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a linear module; or, the first drive mechanism 300 can drive at least one of the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to rotate, and the first drive mechanism 300 can be a drive component capable of generating rotational drive, such as a motor or a pneumatic motor.

[0040] refer to Figure 7 As shown, the support member 100 has a discharge port 120 communicating with the channel 110. The discharge port 120 is located at the end of the channel 110, and the bottommost material 600 among the multiple stacked materials 600 can flow out through the discharge port 120. (Reference) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the material blocking module 400 is movably disposed at the discharge port 120 and supports the bottom material component 600. Optionally, the material blocking module 400 can be slidably disposed at the discharge port 120 or rotatably disposed at the discharge port 120. The material blocking module 400 can open and close the discharge port 120 and support the material component 600 through its own movement.

[0041] The second drive mechanism 500 is connected to the baffle module 400. Optionally, the second drive mechanism 500 can be directly connected to the baffle module 400 by welding, bonding, or other methods, or indirectly connected by other components. In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 300 and the second drive mechanism 500 are located on opposite sides of the support member 100. The second drive mechanism 500 can drive the baffle module 400 to move closer to or away from the discharge port 120, thereby closing the discharge port 120 or moving the bottommost material 600 out of the discharge port 120. Optionally, the second drive mechanism 500 can be a cylinder, electric cylinder, linear module, or other drive component capable of generating linear displacement to drive the baffle module 400 to move relative to the support member 100; the second drive mechanism 500 can also be a motor, pneumatic motor, or other drive component capable of generating rotational drive to drive the baffle module 400 to rotate relative to the support member 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the channel-type feeding device directly accommodates multiple stacked parts 600 via the channel 110. The first driving mechanism 300 drives at least one of the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move, so that the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 jointly clamp the parts 600. At the same time, the limiting tooth part 230 extends into the gap a between the first part 600 and the second part 600 that is relatively close to the discharge port 120, that is, the limiting tooth part 230 extends into the bottom part 600 and its adjacent part 600. Between the material components 600, the limiting tooth 230 limits the second material component 600 that is closer to the discharge port 120, preventing other material components 600 except the bottom material component 600 from moving along the extension direction of the material trough. Then, when the second drive mechanism 500 drives the baffle module 400 to open the discharge port 120, the bottom material component 600 loses the blocking effect of the baffle module 400 and leaves the material trough from the discharge port 120, while ensuring that the positions of other material components 600 remain unchanged, thus realizing the feeding process.

[0043] When the next feeding is required, the second drive mechanism 500 drives the material blocking module 400 to reset, and then the first drive mechanism 300 drives the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move to release each material piece 600. At the same time, the limiting tooth 230 no longer extends into the gap a between two adjacent material pieces 600, and the material piece 600 loses the limiting effect of the limiting tooth 230. Since the material trough is not horizontal, each material piece 600 in the material trough can move towards the discharge port 120 under its own gravity, so that the material blocking module 400 blocks the material piece 600 again. Then the first drive mechanism 300 drives the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move, so that the limiting tooth 230 extends into the gap a between the bottom material piece 600 and its adjacent material piece 600 again to limit the other material pieces 600 except the bottom material piece 600. The above process is repeated to pick up materials.

[0044] Therefore, the channel-type feeding device in this embodiment only needs the channel 110 to accommodate multiple stacked materials 600, without the need to set up pallets to support each material 600, which helps to reduce the space occupied; moreover, automatic feeding can be achieved through the cooperation of the first drive mechanism 300, the clamping member 200, the second drive mechanism 500 and the material blocking module 400, without the need for manual material handling, which helps to save manpower and reduce the material supply cost.

[0045] In one optional embodiment, the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are located on the horizontal sides of the channel 110, and the gap a mentioned above is formed between the sides of two adjacent material parts 600.

[0046] In another embodiment, reference Figure 8As shown, the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are located at the top and bottom of the channel 110, respectively. Figure 6 As shown, gaps a are formed between the tops of two adjacent material parts 600 and between the bottoms of two adjacent material parts 600. Since multiple material parts 600 are stacked along the first direction A, and the first direction A forms an angle with the horizontal direction, the multiple material parts 600 are not horizontally arranged. The tops of two adjacent material parts 600 or the bottoms of two adjacent material parts 600 are more likely to be misaligned, thus forming a larger gap a. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are disposed at the top and bottom of the channel 110. The limiting tooth part 230 can extend into the larger gap a formed between the tops of two adjacent material parts 600 or into the larger gap a formed between the bottoms of two adjacent material parts 600. This is more conducive to the limiting tooth part 230 limiting the material parts 600 and to the clamping member 200 clamping the material parts 600 stably.

[0047] In one optional embodiment, the limiting tooth 230 includes a first tooth surface 231. The material part 600 has a connected end face 610 and a side face 620. In two adjacent material parts 600, the side face 620 of the bottom material part 600 forms a gap 'a' with the end face 610 of the top material part 600. The first tooth surface 231 can contact the end face 610 of the top material part 600. Specifically, when the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 jointly clamp the material part 600, the first tooth surface 231 contacts the end face 610 of the top material part 600. Thus, the limiting tooth 230 limits the top material part 600 among two adjacent material parts 600 through the first tooth surface 231.

[0048] In another embodiment, reference Figure 8 As shown, the limiting tooth portion 230 also includes a second tooth surface 232, and the first tooth surface 231 and the second tooth surface 232 are connected, for reference. Figure 6 As shown, the second toothed surface 232 can contact the side surface 620 of the bottom layer of the material 600. Specifically, when the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 jointly clamp the material 600, the first toothed surface 231 contacts the end face 610 of the top layer of the material 600, and the second toothed surface 232 contacts the side surface 620 of the bottom layer of the material 600. Optionally, the first toothed surface 231 and the second toothed surface 232 can be perpendicular to each other, and the side surface 620 of the same material 600 can be perpendicular to the end face 610. The first toothed surface 231 can make a limiting contact with the end face 610 of the material 600 in the horizontal direction, and the second toothed surface 232 can make a limiting contact with the side surface 620 of the material 600 in the vertical direction.

[0049] In this embodiment, the limiting tooth 230 not only limits the material 600 located at the top layer through the first tooth surface 231, but also limits the material 600 located at the bottom layer through the second tooth surface 232, thereby limiting both adjacent material 600, which is more conducive to the clamping member 200 clamping the material 600 stably.

[0050] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting tooth 230 may be a block structure.

[0051] In another embodiment, the limiting tooth 230 can be a strip-shaped structure, extending along the width direction of the channel 110. Optionally, both the first tooth surface 231 and the second tooth surface 232 are strip-shaped tooth surfaces. In this embodiment, the limiting tooth 230 has a relatively large length. Along the width direction of the channel 110, the limiting tooth 230 limits different positions of the material 600, which helps to increase the limiting area of ​​the limiting tooth 230 on the material 600, further enhancing the limiting stability of the material 600.

[0052] In one optional embodiment, both the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are provided with a limiting tooth 230, which extends into the bottommost material 600 and the gap a between adjacent material 600s. Thus, the limiting tooth 230 limits the position of the bottom material 600. After the position of the bottom material 600 relative to the support 100 is fixed, the other stacked material 600s are also fixed relative to the support 100 due to the limiting effect of the bottom material 600, thereby achieving positional fixation of each material 600 relative to the support frame.

[0053] In another embodiment, in the first direction A, both the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are provided with multiple limiting teeth 230, and the limiting teeth 230 of the first clamping part 210 correspond one-to-one with the limiting teeth 230 of the second clamping part 220. Thus, the two corresponding limiting teeth 230 can respectively limit different positions of the same material 600, which helps to improve the limiting stability of the same material 600. Furthermore, since both the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are provided with multiple limiting teeth 230, and these multiple limiting teeth 230 respectively limit different material 600s, it helps the clamping member 200 to more stably clamp multiple stacked material 600s.

[0054] Optionally, each limiting tooth 230 includes the first tooth surface 231 and the second tooth surface 232 mentioned above. In two adjacent limiting teeth 230, the first tooth surface 231 of the limiting tooth 230 located at the bottom and the second tooth surface 232 of the limiting tooth 230 located at the top contact the end face 610 and the side face 620 of the same material 600, respectively. In this way, different limiting teeth 230 limit the same material 600, which helps to improve the clamping stability of the material 600.

[0055] In one optional embodiment, the first drive mechanism 300 includes two telescopic cylinders, the cylinder bodies 310 of which are fixedly connected to the support member 100, and the cylinder rods of which are connected to the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220, respectively. That is, the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 are driven to move by different telescopic cylinders.

[0056] In another embodiment, reference Figure 2 As shown, the first driving mechanism 300 is a first telescopic cylinder, which includes a cylinder body 310, a first telescopic rod 320, and a second telescopic rod 330. The cylinder body 310 is connected to the support member 100. The first telescopic rod 320 and the second telescopic rod 330 are slidably connected to the cylinder body 310, and can slide relative to the cylinder body 310. Furthermore, the first telescopic rod 320 and the second telescopic rod 330 are respectively connected to the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220. Optionally, the first telescopic cylinder can be located on the side of the support member 100. The cylinder body 310 and the support member 100 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods. The first telescopic rod 320 and the first clamping part 210, and the second telescopic rod 330 and the second clamping part 220 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods, respectively.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first telescopic cylinder is equipped with both the first telescopic rod 320 and the second telescopic rod 330, which can simultaneously drive the first clamping part 210 and the second clamping part 220 to move. This eliminates the need for multiple first telescopic cylinders, which simplifies the structure of the first drive mechanism 300 and, consequently, the structure of the channel feeding device.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the surface of the baffle module 400 facing the outlet 120 includes a mating surface 410. The mating surface 410 is used to mate with the surface of the material component 600 to support the bottommost material component 600. Here, the surface of the material component 600 refers to the side surface 620 of the material component 600 mentioned above. That is to say, the structure of the mating surface 410 of the baffle module 400 is the same as the structure of the side surface 620 of the material component 600. (Reference) Figure 4As shown, when the baffle module 400 rests against the bottommost component 600, the mating surface 410 is in contact with the side surface 620 of the component 600.

[0059] In this embodiment, the material blocking module 400 is provided with a mating surface 410 that cooperates with the material component 600, thereby increasing the contact area between the material blocking module 400 and the material component 600, which helps the material blocking module 400 to more stably support the bottom material component 600.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the mating surface 410 of the baffle module 400 may not be in contact with the side surface 620 of the material 600. The mating surface 410 only contacts the side surface 620 of the material 600. The mating surface 410 and the material 600 are in upper limit engagement in the first direction A, thereby realizing the stable support of the baffle module 400 on the material 600.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the second driving mechanism 500 is a linear driving mechanism, which can drive the material blocking module 400 to move along the first direction A. That is, the direction in which the material blocking module 400 moves is the same as the direction in which the material pieces 600 are stacked.

[0062] Since the stacked components 600 move along the first direction A within the channel 110, the linear drive mechanism drives the baffle module 400 to also move along the first direction A. This helps the baffle module 400 to more stably support the bottom component 600, preventing the component 600 moving along the first direction A from exerting force on other positions outside the baffle module 400. At the same time, it ensures that the baffle module 400 can close and open the discharge port 120.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the second drive mechanism 500 can drive the material blocking module 400 to move in a direction other than the first direction A, thereby closing the discharge port 120 or moving the bottommost material 600 out of the discharge port 120.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the channel-type feeding device also includes a slide rail 710 and a slider 720. The slide rail 710 is disposed on the support member 100 and extends along the first direction A. The second drive mechanism 500 is connected to the blocking module 400 through the slider 720. That is, the second drive mechanism 500 and the blocking module 400 are respectively connected to the slider 720, and the slider 720 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 710. Optionally, the slide rail 710 and the support member 100 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods. The second drive mechanism 500 and the slider 720, and the blocking module 400 and the slider 720 can also be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods. Thus, when the second drive mechanism 500 is working, it drives the slider 720 to move along the first direction A, and the slider 720 drives the blocking module 400 to move synchronously.

[0065] The channel-type feeding device guides the movement of the blocking module 400 by setting up matching slide rails 710 and sliders 720, ensuring that the blocking module 400 moves accurately along the first direction A and preventing the moving direction of the blocking module 400 from deviating.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the channel feeding device may not have the slide rail 710 and slider 720, and the second drive mechanism 500 may directly drive the material blocking module 400 to move.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the channel-type feeding device also includes a limiting member 800, which is connected to the support member 100 and is located on the side of the baffle module 400 facing away from the clamping member 200. The baffle module 400 and the limiting member 800 are engaged in a limiting cooperation in the first direction A. Optionally, the support member 100 has a mounting block on the side of the baffle module 400 facing away from the clamping member 200, and the limiting member 800 is disposed on the mounting block. The limiting member 800 can be a fastener such as a screw or bolt installed on the mounting block, or it can be a limiting structure formed by other parts.

[0068] In this embodiment, the limiting member 800 restricts the travel distance of the blocking module 400, preventing the blocking module 400 from moving too far along the first direction A. Moreover, in the embodiment with the slide rail 710 and the slider 720, the limiting member 800 can prevent the slider 720 from disengaging from the slide rail 710, ensuring that the slider 720 and the slide rail 710 slide continuously and stably.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the channel feeding device may not have a limiting member 800, and the movement stroke of the blocking module 400 may be controlled by controlling the driving state of the second driving mechanism 500 on the blocking module 400.

[0070] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
