[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] According to research, in the related technology, when copper bars are recycled, negative pressure adsorption is usually used to transport the copper bars to the production line. However, some copper bars have impurities such as verdigris, and some verdigris will stick to the copper bars in powder form. During negative pressure adsorption, some verdigris powder will be sucked into the air pipe, which may cause air pipe blockage and unstable adsorption. Therefore, it is urgent to design a feeding device for copper bar production to solve the technical problem of powder blocking the air pipe.

[0041] Based on the above research, Figure 1 , the disclosed embodiment provides a feeding device for copper busbar production, including: an equipment rack 6, the equipment rack 6 has a pick-up and placement station to place the workpiece, i.e., the copper busbar. A driving mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the equipment rack 6, the end of the driving mechanism 5 extends to directly above the equipment rack 6, the movable end of the driving mechanism 5 is installed with a conveying mechanism 4, and the movable end of the conveying mechanism 4 is installed with at least one negative pressure suction head 1. In some embodiments, the number of negative pressure suction heads 1 is preferably 8, and the 8 negative pressure suction heads 1 are divided into two rows and installed at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 4, and the suction end of the negative pressure suction head 1 is arranged downward. The negative pressure suction head 1 is connected to an exhaust device, such as an air pump, through an air pipe, and the conveying mechanism 4 is suitable for driving the negative pressure suction head 1 to rise and fall, and the driving mechanism 5 is suitable for driving the conveying mechanism 4 to drive the negative pressure suction head 1 to move horizontally to transport the workpiece.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 The negative pressure suction head 1 includes an air suction pipeline 11 and a negative pressure suction cup 12 movably installed at the bottom end of the air suction pipeline 11. The air suction pipeline 11 is used to connect the air pipe. The negative pressure suction cup 12 is connected to the air suction pipeline 11, and the negative pressure suction cup 12 can be spherically connected to the end of the air suction pipeline 11 so that the negative pressure suction cup 12 can rotate around the end of the air suction pipeline 11. The negative pressure suction cup 12 can fit the contact surface with the workpiece and inhale air through the air suction pipeline 11 so that the negative pressure suction cup 12 can reliably adsorb the workpiece.

[0043] In order to solve the problem of unstable adsorption when the suction pipe 11 is blocked, refer to Figure 5 A cleaning piece 2 is installed on one side of the negative pressure suction head 1, and the cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 extends to the bottom of the adsorption end of the negative pressure suction head 1. The cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 is movably arranged, and the cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 is suitable for blowing air outward. When the negative pressure suction head 1 is close to the workpiece, the cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 abuts against the workpiece before the negative pressure suction head 1, and the workpiece pushes the cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 to slide along the surface of the workpiece, and the cleaning piece 2 sweeps across the adsorption area of ​​the negative pressure suction head 1 to clean the powder on the surface of the workpiece corresponding to the adsorption area of ​​the negative pressure suction head 1. Through the above arrangement, the easily loose powder in the adsorption area can be effectively cleaned, thereby avoiding the problem of powder being sucked into the suction pipe 11 during the subsequent adsorption process, causing blockage.

[0044] In order to achieve the effect of cleaning the adsorption area of ​​the negative pressure suction head 1 by the cleaning member 2, refer to Figure 6 , a ventilation ring 3 is installed on the outside of the negative pressure suction head 1, the ventilation ring 3 has a vacuum inside and is suitable for connecting a blowing device, such as a blower, through an air pipe, the top end of the cleaning member 2 is hinged with the ventilation ring 3, and the inner cavity of the cleaning member 2 is connected with the inner cavity of the ventilation ring 3, the bottom end of the cleaning member 2 can rotate around the ventilation ring 3, and at the same time, the bottom end of the cleaning member 2 is inclined in the direction toward the bottom end of the negative pressure suction cup 12. When the negative pressure suction head 1 is used, the cleaning member 2 can be driven to descend synchronously through the ventilation ring 3. Since the bottom end of the cleaning member 2 is lower than the negative pressure suction cup 12, the bottom end of the cleaning member 2 contacts the workpiece before the negative pressure suction cup 12, and since the cleaning member 2 is inclined, after the cleaning member 2 contacts the workpiece, the workpiece pushes the cleaning member 2 to rotate around the hinge with the ventilation ring 3, so that the bottom end of the cleaning member 2 sweeps the surface of the workpiece along the inclined direction, thereby cleaning the adsorption area of ​​the negative pressure suction cup 12. The cleaning end of the cleaning piece 2 is provided with a blowing groove 21 on one side facing the negative pressure suction head 1 , and the air blown by the fan can be blown out through the blowing groove 21 to clean the powder on the surface of the workpiece.

[0045] Since the surface of the recycled copper busbar may be uneven, in order to ensure that the negative pressure suction cup accurately fits the surface of the workpiece. Figure 5 In some embodiments, a plurality of adjusting rods 31 are provided on one side of the ventilation ring sleeve 3 that is slidably disposed toward the negative pressure suction cup 12, and the adjusting rods 31 are evenly and densely arranged along the circumference of the ventilation ring sleeve 3. At the same time, the end of the adjusting rod 31 abuts against the outer wall of the negative pressure suction cup 12. The inner cavity of the adjusting rod 31 is connected with the inner cavity of the ventilation ring sleeve 3. Through the above arrangement, when ventilation is continuously carried out in the ventilation ring sleeve 3, the gas pushes the adjusting rod 31 to slide outward, so that the adjusting rod 31 remains in contact with the negative pressure suction cup 12. When the negative pressure suction cup 12 approaches the workpiece, the adjusting rod 31 pushes the negative pressure suction cup 12 to rotate in accordance with the surface shape of the workpiece, so that the negative pressure suction cup 12 maintains surface-to-surface contact with the surface of the workpiece, thereby ensuring that the negative pressure suction cup 12 is in the closest contact with the workpiece when negative pressure adsorption is performed.

[0046] In order to achieve the effect of driving the negative pressure suction head up and down by the conveying mechanism, refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the transport mechanism 4 includes a transport plate 41, a transport cylinder 42 mounted on the transport plate 41, and a support plate 43 mounted on the movable end of the transport cylinder 42, and the negative pressure suction head 1 is mounted on the support plate 43. The transport plate 41 is mounted on the movable end of the driving mechanism 5, the housing of the transport cylinder 42 is mounted on the transport plate 41, and the movable end of the transport cylinder is arranged downward, and the support plate 43 extends two rows of rods to both sides, respectively, for mounting and supporting the negative pressure suction head 1.

[0047] In order to achieve the effect of the driving mechanism 5 driving the conveying plate 41 and the negative pressure suction head 1 to move horizontally, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 5 includes a first conveying assembly and a second conveying assembly, wherein the second conveying assembly is mounted on the movable end of the first conveying assembly, and the conveying plate 41 is mounted on the movable end of the second conveying assembly. The second conveying assembly includes a second translation frame 51 and a second conveying motor 52 mounted on the second translation frame 51, a second slide rail 53 is mounted on the second translation frame 51, the conveying plate 41 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 53, and the second conveying motor 52 is transmission-connected to the conveying plate 41. A screw rod is mounted on the movable end of the second conveying motor 52, and the conveying plate 41 is threadedly connected to the screw rod, so that when the second conveying motor 52 is started, the conveying plate 41 is driven by the screw rod to slide horizontally along the second slide rail 53. Refer to Figure 3 The first conveying assembly includes a first translation frame 54 and a first conveying motor 55 installed on the first translation frame 54. A first slide rail 56 is installed on the first translation frame 54. The second translation frame 51 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 56. The first conveying motor 55 is in transmission connection with the second translation frame 51. The first translation frame 54 is arranged in parallel with the second translation frame 51. A screw rod is installed at the movable end of the first conveying motor 55. The second translation frame 51 is threadedly connected with the screw rod, so that when the first conveying motor 55 is started, the second translation frame 51 is driven by the screw rod to slide horizontally along the second slide rail 53.
