Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0023] In the processing of consumer electronic products, especially in the field of injection molding, a feeder that combines vibration plate screening with linear module transmission and reflux is usually used to achieve multi-insert feeding and injection molding. With the frequent upgrading of products, the type and quantity of materials need to change, and the number and layout of the corresponding vibration plates need to change. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently replace the linear modules and perform splicing and installation. However, the linear module transmission form has high requirements for installation accuracy and relatively high manufacturing costs. This combination not only prolongs the production cycle of the product, but also greatly increases the production and debugging costs.

[0024] In view of this, the present invention provides a flexible vibration plate feeding device, which, through modular design, can match complex components through module splicing, thereby greatly reducing debugging and maintenance costs.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The flexible vibration plate feeding equipment 100 has a feeding station b and a feeding station a arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. The flexible vibration plate feeding equipment 100 includes at least one feeding device 1, a feeding device 2 and a reflux device 3. The feeding device 1 is located at the feeding station a. The feeding device 1 includes a first mounting frame 11, a bearing bracket 12 and at least one vibration plate assembly 13. The vibration plate assembly 13 and the bearing bracket 12 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction on the first mounting frame 11. The bearing bracket 12 is used for placing the flow tooling. The vibration plate assembly 13 is used to adjust the posture of the material and place the adjusted material on the first mounting frame 11. The feeding device 2 is placed on the circulation tooling on the supporting bracket 12, and is located at the feeding station b. The feeding device 2 includes a second mounting frame 21 and a picking portion 22 movably mounted on the second mounting frame 21 along the transverse direction. A picking area 2a is formed on the second mounting frame 21. The picking portion 22 is used to transfer the fully loaded circulation tooling in the loading device 1 to the picking area 2a for the processing equipment to pick up materials; the conveying path of the reflux device 3 passes through the feeding station b and the loading station a, and is used to move the circulation tooling at the loading station a out and send it back to the loading station a in an empty state.

[0026] In the technical solution of the present invention, the flow tooling is placed on the supporting bracket 12, and vibrating loading is performed through the vibration plate assembly 13. The insert material or complex component material can be accurately and quickly adjusted to a predetermined posture, and the material is placed at a designated position on the flow tooling in a predetermined posture. Then the fully loaded flow tooling is transferred to the material picking area 2a by the picking part 22, and the material is picked up by external processing equipment. The flow tooling after picking up the material is returned from the feeding station b by the reflux device 3, so that it can return to the loading station a to complete the circulation of the flow tooling. The degree of automation is high. The loading device 1, the feeding device 2 and the reflux device 3 are divided into different modules. When different types or different quantities of materials need to be replaced, it can be achieved by splicing the loading device 1 or adding different numbers of vibration plate assemblies 13 to the loading device 1. The reflux device 3 does not affect the splicing of the loading device 1, thereby reducing the debugging cost. The equipment also adapts to changing production needs through its highly flexible adjustability.

[0027] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the vibration plate assembly 13, which can be a spiral vibration plate, and the material is vibrated from the center of the vibration plate along the spiral path during the conveying process to adjust the posture, and finally output from the upper end of the vibration plate. Figure 3The vibration plate assembly 13 includes a first vibration plate 131, a first visual inspection component 132, a first transfer unit 133 and a controller. The first vibration plate 131 is arranged on the first mounting frame 11, and is used to carry materials and adjust the posture of the materials by vibration; the first visual inspection component 132 is arranged on the first mounting frame 11, and is used to detect the posture of the materials on the first vibration plate 131; the first transfer unit 133 is located above the first vibration plate 131, and can be movably installed on the first mounting frame 11 in the horizontal, longitudinal and vertical directions; the controller is electrically connected to the first visual inspection component 132 and the first transfer unit 133, so as to control the first transfer unit 133 to pick up and transfer the materials according to the detection result of the first visual inspection component 132. The materials are placed on the first vibration plate 131, and the first vibration plate 131 works at the set frequency. After each vibration, the first visual inspection component 132 detects the posture of the current materials on the first vibration plate 131, and marks the materials that meet the preset requirements. The controller controls the first transfer unit 133 to pick up the marked materials and put them on the flow tooling. This structural form has efficient sorting and sequencing functions, and can accurately and quickly arrange multiple inserts or complex components to the predetermined positions.

[0028] It should be understood that the first transfer part 133 can pick up one material at a time or multiple materials at the same time, and the present invention does not limit this. The controller mentioned here can be the overall controller of the flexible vibration plate feeding device 100, or it can be a controller separately set on the first mounting frame 11 for this step.

[0029] It should be noted that the first transfer part 133 can be a structure such as a clamping claw or a suction cup, which is driven by a multi-axis driving component to achieve movement in multiple directions.

[0030] Considering that the accumulation of materials will affect the vibration sorting effect, in some embodiments, the vibration plate assembly 13 further includes a second vibration plate 134, which is located on the side of the first vibration plate 131. The second vibration plate 134 has a discharge end extending above the first vibration plate 131, and the second vibration plate 134 is used to transfer the concentrated multiple materials to the first vibration plate 131 through vibration dispersion. The operator or an external manipulator first piles a certain amount of materials on the second vibration plate 134, and the vibration of the second vibration plate 134 disperses the concentrated materials and transports them to the first vibration plate 131, thereby ensuring that the materials on the first vibration plate 131 are dispersedly arranged without accumulation.

[0031] It should be understood that the second vibration plate 134 is configured as a hopper loading vibration plate. The first vibration plate 131 is configured as a plane shaking vibration plate.

[0032] For further information, please refer to Figure 2, multiple vibration plate assemblies 13 are provided, and multiple vibration plate assemblies 13 are arranged on the first mounting frame 11 at intervals in the horizontal direction, and are used to adjust the postures of different types of materials respectively; the supporting bracket 12 can move in the horizontal direction to correspond to the multiple vibration plate assemblies 13 in sequence during the movement. At this time, each feeding device 1 can sort and feed multiple materials at the same time, and through the movable setting of the supporting bracket 12, multiple materials can be placed in the flow tooling in sequence during the movement of the supporting bracket 12 to complete the feeding action.

[0033] For example, three vibration plate assemblies 13 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction. Initially, the supporting bracket 12 corresponds to a vibration plate assembly 13 at the edge. After the first transfer part 133 completes loading, the supporting bracket 12 moves to another adjacent vibration plate assembly 13. After the corresponding first transfer part 133 completes loading, it continues to move to correspond to the last vibration plate assembly 13. After the last first transfer part 133 completes loading, the flow tooling completes the loading of all types of materials in the current loading device 1.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of support brackets 12 can be provided, and the plurality of support brackets 12 are spaced apart laterally and are movably provided laterally. Each support bracket 12 can pass through a plurality of vibration plate assemblies 13 in sequence, thereby realizing synchronous loading of a plurality of flow toolings and improving efficiency.

[0035] For further information, please refer again Figure 1 , multiple feeding devices 1 are provided, and multiple feeding devices 1 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the feeding devices 1 located at the edge are adjacent to the feeding device 2; each feeding device 1 also includes a material transfer part 14, which is movably installed in the horizontal direction to the corresponding first mounting frame 11, so as to be able to transfer the flow tooling on the adjacent feeding device 1 to the corresponding bearing bracket 12. Multiple feeding devices 1 pick up and transfer the flow tooling on the bearing bracket 12 in the adjacent device through the material transfer part 14. Thereby, the design of the external manipulator can be saved, making the overall layout more compact, while being able to adapt to splicing and facilitating rapid adjustment.

[0036] The present invention does not limit the structural form of the material moving part 14, which may be a suction cup structure, a clamping claw structure, etc. The material moving part may be driven to move by a cylinder, a screw structure, etc.

[0037] It should be noted that the flow tooling is not a conventional pallet, but a partition that is adapted to different types of materials. Different contour areas are set for different materials to ensure that the materials are transported in a fixed posture. The flow tooling has corresponding positioning, detection and other structures.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the material picking part 22 includes a material picking body 221 and a lifting member 222. The material picking body 221 is movably installed in the horizontal direction and can move to protrude in the horizontal direction from the second mounting frame 21 toward the loading station a. The lifting member 222 is movably installed to the material picking body 221 in the vertical direction, and the lifting member 222 is used to carry the flow tooling. The material picking body 221 drives the lifting member 222 to move horizontally. The lifting member 222 can be located below the corresponding supporting bracket 12. The lifting member 222 can move up and down, thereby passing through the hollow position of the supporting bracket 12 to lift the flow tooling upward until it is separated from the supporting bracket 12. At this time, the material picking body 221 drives the lifting member 222 to move horizontally in the opposite direction to transfer the flow tooling to the material picking area 2a.

[0039] In other embodiments, the material taking part 22 may also be a suction cup structure, a clamping claw structure, etc. In this embodiment, the material moving part 14 and the material taking part 22 have the same structure.

[0040] Considering the stability of the flow tooling when picking up materials at the feeding station b, in some embodiments, the feeding device 2 further includes a positioning bracket 23 provided in the picking area 2a, and the picking portion 22 is used to place the flow tooling on the positioning bracket 23 for the processing equipment to pick up materials. The picking portion 22 is also used to remove the flow tooling on the positioning bracket 23 and transfer it to the side of the picking area 2a facing away from the feeding station a, so as to correspond to the reflux device 3. The positioning bracket 23 is provided in the middle of the second mounting frame 21, or on the side of the second mounting frame 21 close to the first mounting frame 11. During the lateral movement of the picking portion 22, it first stays in the picking area 2a, so that the flow tooling is fully loaded and fixed on the positioning bracket 23 to ensure its stability. After the external robot arm completes the material picking, the flow tooling can return to the picking portion 22, and is driven to be spaced apart from the positioning bracket 23, so as to facilitate the operation of the reflux device 3 to return the flow tooling.

[0041] It should be noted that the material taking part 22 may be configured as a structure in which a material taking body 221 and a lifting member 222 cooperate, and the lifting of the lifting member 222 is used to lift and take the material and to place the flow tooling. The positioning bracket 23 may also be designed to have a lifting function, and when the material taking part 22 stays in the material taking area 2a, the positioning bracket 23 is lifted to take away the flow tooling, and is kept at this height for the processing equipment to take the material, and after the material taking is completed, the positioning bracket 23 is dropped to put the flow tooling back on the material taking part 22.

[0042] In order to realize the reflux conveying function of the reflux device 3, in some embodiments, the reflux device 3 includes a third mounting frame 31, a plurality of conveyor belts 32 and a handling device 33. The third mounting frame 31 is adjacent to the first mounting frame 11 and is located on the side of the loading station a facing away from the feeding station b; the plurality of conveyor belts 32 extend laterally, and the plurality of conveyor belts 32 are correspondingly arranged on the first mounting frame 11 and the second mounting frame 21, and the conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveyor belts 32 are arranged flush; the handling device 33 includes two handling parts 331 movably arranged in the up and down directions, one of the handling parts 331 is arranged on the second mounting frame 21, and is used to transfer the flow tooling to the adjacent conveyor belt 32, and the other handling part 331 is arranged on the third mounting frame 31, and is used to transfer the flow tooling on the corresponding conveyor belt 32 to the corresponding supporting bracket 12. That is, the reflux device 3 is dispersed on the first mounting frame 11 and the second mounting frame 21. When multiple first mounting frames 11 are spliced, the conveyor belt 32 is spliced ​​accordingly, so that it can directly adapt to the longer distance transportation requirements, and the adjustability of the conveyor belt 32 enables it to be quickly adjusted according to the specific size, shape and layout requirements of the splicing unit, without the need to frequently replace the entire module or perform complicated splicing and installation. The lifting and lowering of the transport part 331 can adapt to the height difference between the conveyor belt 32 and the material picking part 22 in the up and down directions.

[0043] Specifically, the transporting part 331 can be driven to move by a cylinder and a screw structure, and can rise to a specified position to receive the flow tooling. In one way, the transporting part 331 and the material picking part 22 are misaligned. When the transporting part 331 lifts the process tooling, the material picking part 22 can move laterally away from the corresponding area, so that the transporting part 331 can fall without interference. In another way, a stopper is provided at a corresponding position of the second mounting frame 21. During the process of lateral resetting of the material picking part 22, the flow tooling is stopped and separated from the material picking part 22, and naturally falls on the transporting part 331.

[0044] Considering the orientation, the transfer platform is located on the side of the first mounting frame 11. Therefore, the loading device 1 located at the edge can transfer the flow tooling on the corresponding transfer portion 331 to the support bracket 12 through the material transfer portion 14. In other embodiments, a mechanical arm can also be added to the third mounting frame 31 to move the flow tooling on the transfer portion 331 to the support bracket 12.

[0045] When the processing equipment takes the material, it may take away only part of the material due to a picking failure of the equipment or detection of material abnormality on the flow tooling. At this time, although the flow tooling has passed the material taking area 2a, there is still material on it, rather than being in an empty state. In this case, if the flow tooling returns to the loading station a, it will cause material loading abnormality. Therefore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5, the reflux device 3 also includes a discharge assembly 34, which includes a second visual inspection component 341, a second transfer part 342 and a controller. The second visual inspection component 341 is arranged on the third mounting frame 31, and is used to detect the amount of materials on the flow tooling on the corresponding conveying part 331; the second transfer part 342 is movably mounted to the third mounting frame 31 in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction and the longitudinal direction; the controller is electrically connected to the second visual inspection component 341 and the second transfer part 342, so as to control the second transfer part 342 to pick up and transfer materials according to the detection result of the second visual inspection component 341. That is, the second visual inspection component 341 is used to detect whether there is still material on the flow tooling on the conveying part 331. If there is no material, the flow tooling can return to the loading station a. If there is material, the material is removed by the second transfer part 342, so that the flow tooling remains in an empty state and returns to the loading station a, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire process.

[0046] It should be noted that the second transfer part 342 can be a structure such as a clamping claw or a suction cup, which is driven by a multi-axis driving component to achieve movement in multiple directions.

[0047] It should be noted that the controller mentioned here can be the main controller of the flexible vibration plate feeding device 100, or it can be a controller separately set on the third mounting frame 31 for this step.

[0048] Furthermore, the material discharging assembly 34 further includes a material guide pipe 343 and a material collection box 344. The material guide pipe 343 is disposed on the third mounting frame 31 and is tilted in the vertical direction. The upper end of the material guide pipe 343 is used to receive the material removed by the second transfer part 342; the material collection box 344 is disposed at the lower end of the material guide pipe 343 and is used to collect the material. The material guide pipe 343 is tilted so that the material can fall naturally into the material collection box 344 under the action of gravity along a certain tilt path, completing the collection of the material. The material guide pipe 343 can adapt to the height difference between the second transfer part 342 and the material collection box 344.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper end of the material guiding pipe 343 is trumpet-shaped, so as to facilitate receiving the material.

[0050] by Figure 1 Taking the embodiment of the present invention as an example, the flexible vibration plate feeding device 100 is used for feeding the injection molding machine, and the specific working process is as follows: The operator puts the punched insert materials into each second vibration plate 134, and the second vibration plate 134 vibrates to disperse the concentrated insert materials into the corresponding first vibration plate 131. The first visual inspection part 132 identifies the posture of the product in the first vibration plate 131 and marks the insert materials that meet the grabbing conditions. The first transfer part 133 moves to the visual marking position, grabs the insert materials that meet the conditions, and rotates them to the specified posture. At the same time, the first transfer part 133 moves to the top of the flow tooling position, puts the insert material into the flow tooling, drives the supporting bracket 12 to move, and transports the flow tooling to the position corresponding to the next first vibration plate 131, and successively realizes vibration, identification and grabbing, material placement to the flow tooling, and transmission to the next station until all product inserts are placed in the flow tooling. The picking part 22 will transfer the full tray of flow tooling to the picking area 2a, corresponding to the injection molding machine robot picking position. After the injection molding machine robot finishes picking, the transport part 331 will transfer the flow tooling to the conveyor belt 32. Multiple conveyor belts 32 take over the transmission to send the flow tooling to the third mounting frame 31, and the second visual detection part 341 detects the quantity of materials on the flow tooling, and removes the excess materials. At this time, one cycle is completed, and the adjacent material transfer part 14 of the loading device 1 can be waited for to take away the empty flow tooling.

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention realizes the automatic loading of materials and can be applied to the loading of equipment such as injection molding machines and presses. The equipment combines the vibration plate technology with the adjustable conveying mechanism, which significantly improves the module splicing efficiency of existing feeding equipment and greatly reduces the commissioning and maintenance costs. The vibration plate has efficient sorting and sorting functions, and can accurately and quickly arrange multiple inserts or complex components to predetermined positions. The adjustability of the conveyor belt enables it to be quickly adjusted according to the specific size, shape and layout requirements of the splicing unit, without the need to frequently replace the entire module or perform complex splicing installation. This feature not only significantly improves the module splicing speed and reduces the commissioning cost, but also adapts to changing production needs through its highly flexible adjustability.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
