DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] In the prior art, automatic loading equipment generally uses a two-axis method to move materials from one plane to another parallel plane. When the material picking position and the material discharge position have a certain angle, a four-axis or six-axis manipulator is required to move the material from the picking position to the discharge position, thereby increasing production costs.

[0021] For this reason, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a feeding device is provided in an embodiment of the present invention to solve the above technical problems.

[0022] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a feeding device comprises a power source 1, a first swing plate 2, a rotating device 3, a grabbing device 4 and a fixing device 5; wherein the power source 1 is used to provide power to the feeding device, and the power source 1 can be a motor; the first end of the first swing plate 2 is connected to the power source 1, and the first swing plate 2 can swing back and forth in a plane with the first end as the center under the action of the power source 1, and a first fixed wheel 21 is provided on the surface of the first swing plate 2 away from the power source 1; the rotating device 3 comprises a rotating rod 31 and a first driven wheel 32 connected to the first end of the rotating rod 31, the rotating rod 31 is pivotally connected to the second end of the first swing plate 2, the second end of the first swing plate 2 is provided with a second through hole 25, the first end of the rotating rod 31 at least partially passes through the second through hole 25, and the first driven wheel 32 is meshed with the first fixed wheel 21; the grabbing device 4 is arranged on the rotating rod 31, and the grabbing device 4 is used Grab the material; the fixing device 5 is used to fix the first swing plate 2, and the first swing plate 2 is rotatably connected to the fixing device 5; during the swinging process of the first swing plate 2, the rotating rod 31 can swing within the angle range formed by the material picking position and the material discharging position under the action of the first swing plate 2. At the same time, since the first driven wheel 32 is meshed with the first fixed wheel 21, the first driven wheel 32 as a whole can swing with the first swing plate 2, while the first fixed wheel 21 cannot swing with the first swing plate 2, so that the first driven wheel 32 will rotate, and then drive the rotating rod 31 to rotate, and the grabbing device 4 is fixed on the rotating rod 31. The grabbing device 4 can rotate under the action of the rotating rod 31 so that the grabbing surface of the grabbing device 4 is close to or away from the first plane, where the first plane refers to the plane formed by the first swing plate 2 along the longitudinal axis and the rotating rod 31 along the longitudinal axis, such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the feeding device takes the material, the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 is away from the first plane, so that the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 contacts the material to be moved. At this time, the dihedral angle formed by the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 and the surface perpendicular to the ground is α, and the line-plane angle formed by the axis of the first swing plate 2 along the length direction and the surface perpendicular to the ground is β. Figure 2 As shown, when the feeding device discharges materials, the second end of the first swing plate 2 swings to the discharge position, and the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 is close to the first plane or the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 is in the same plane as the first plane, so that the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 faces the discharge position, and the material gripped by the gripping device 4 can be placed on the discharge position. In the process from the gripping device 4 taking materials to the discharge of materials, the gripping surface of the gripping device 4 rotates by an angle of (180+α), and the first swing plate 2 swings by an angle of (90+β). In order to make the gripping device 4 and the first swing plate 2 rotate to the discharge position at the same time, the ratio of the number of teeth on the first fixed wheel 21 to the number of teeth on the moving wheel 32 is equal to (180+α): (90+β).

[0023] In some embodiments, in order to increase the length of the first swing plate 2 so that the loading equipment of the present application can pick up and place larger objects or objects higher than the ground, the first driven wheel 32 can mesh with the first fixed wheel 21 through the synchronous belt 8; in addition, in order to be able to adjust the tension of the synchronous belt 8, the first swing plate 2 is provided with a tensioning wheel 22, the tensioning wheel 22 is in contact with the synchronous belt 8, and the first swing plate 2 is provided with a fixed groove 24, and the tensioning wheel 22 is fixed in the fixed groove 24. In this way, the installation position of the tensioning wheel 22 in the fixed groove 24 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt 8, and ensuring that the first driven wheel 32 and the first fixed wheel 21 have a better meshing effect.

This makes it convenient to install the power source 1 at a position close to the ground, so that the center of gravity of the feeding equipment is closer to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the feeding equipment during operation, and at the same time, it can also increase the height of the grasping device 4 from the ground.

[0025] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a first rotating member 94 is provided in the first connecting portion 93, and the first rotating member 94 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 95 and a slot 96 communicating with the first accommodating cavity 95. The first accommodating cavity 95 is used to accommodate the output shaft 11 of the power source 1. The output shaft 11 is provided with a fixing portion 12, and the fixing portion 12 is clamped in the slot 96. The second connecting portion includes a second rotating member 91 and a fixing member 92 sleeved on the second rotating member 91. The second rotating member 91 is fixedly connected to the first swing plate 2, and the second rotating member 91 is rotatably connected to the first rotating member 94.

The first rotating member 94 and the second rotating member 91 can be gears meshing with each other. The first swing plate 2 can be directly fixed to the second rotating member 91 with bolts. When the power source 1 is working, the output shaft 11 drives the first rotating member 94, the second rotating member 91, and the first swing plate 2 to move in sequence.

The feeding device in the present application also includes a pressure testing device 54, and the suction cup is connected to the pressure testing device 54. The pressure testing device 54 is used to detect the air pressure at the suction cup. When the air pressure reaches the set value, the power source 1 starts to work, thereby moving the material from the material taking position to the material discharging position, which can prevent the material from falling during the moving process. In order to prevent the first swing plate 2 from affecting the pressure testing device 54, the pressure testing device 54 is fixedly installed on the fixing device body 52.

[0030] In some embodiments, the rotating rod 31 is preferably a hollow rod, which can reduce the mass of the rotating rod 31, thereby reducing the power required for the first swing plate 2 to swing.
