[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two connecting blocks are provided, and the two connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged about the vertical bisecting plane of the base in the front-back direction. The connecting blocks are arranged in the front-back direction, which allows the workpiece to be placed on the push block in the front-back direction. The two push blocks in the front-back direction can push the two workpieces onto the temporary storage stage. The two workpieces are in a state of facing each other at the top corners on the temporary storage stage. In this way, the workpieces can be transferred to the storage stage in pairs during transfer, which makes it easier to transfer the workpieces to the mold for injection molding.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle is slidably connected to the receiving plate in the left-right direction via a connecting shaft, and the two baffles can move closer or further apart in the left-right direction, so that the width of the channel defined by the two baffles can be adjusted, which is convenient to adapt to workpieces of different lengths and has a wide range of applications.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member includes: a motor disposed on the bracket; a lead screw rotatably connected to the receiving plate, the lead screw being disposed below the receiving plate; a push block threadedly connected to the lead screw; the lead screw being driven by the motor; the motor being used to drive the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the push block to slide on the receiving plate.

During feeding, the operator only needs to place the workpiece on the pusher block, making operation convenient and simple, eliminating the hassle of manually aligning the workpiece. When the workpiece arrives at the temporary storage platform, the detection component detects it, and the transfer mechanism then grabs and transfers the workpiece to the storage platform. The placement part, the clearance slot, and the positioning column cooperate to install and secure the workpiece, preventing changes in the workpiece's position and thus avoiding a large number of defective injection molded parts. The transfer mechanism is a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical device, ultimately enabling the picking component to move at any position in three-dimensional space, facilitating the picking of the workpiece to the storage platform. The detection mechanism can detect the quality of the workpiece, preventing defective or broken workpieces from increasing the defect rate of the final product.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 8A feeding device includes: a storage mechanism 100, including a storage platform 110, the storage platform 110 being provided with a placement part 111 and a clearance slot 112, the placement part 111 being provided with a positioning post 113, the positioning post 113 being used to insert into a positioning hole of a workpiece 500, the placement part 111 and the clearance slot 112 being used to cooperate in storing the workpiece 500; and a pushing mechanism 200, including a support member 210, a pushing block 220 and a first driving member 230, the support member 210 being provided with a sliding surface 212a inclined from bottom to top, the pushing block 220 being slidably connected to the support member 210 along the inclined direction of the sliding surface 212a, the first driving member 230 being drively connected to the pushing block 220, the first driving member 230 being used to drive the pushing block 220 to slide, the upper end of the support member 210 being provided with a temporary storage platform 214 and a detection member 215, the pushing block 220 being used to push the workpiece 500 along the... The sliding surface 212a is pushed to the temporary storage platform 214, and the detection component 215 is used to detect the workpiece 500 on the temporary storage platform 214; the transfer mechanism 300 includes a base 350, a first sliding module 310, a second sliding module 320, a third sliding module 330, and a picking component 340. The first sliding module 310 is slidably disposed on the base 350 in the left-right direction, the second sliding module 320 is slidably disposed on the first sliding module 310 in the front-back direction, the third sliding module 330 is slidably disposed on the second sliding module 320 in the up-down direction, and the picking component 340 is disposed on the third sliding module 330. The picking component 340 is used to grab the workpiece 500 on the temporary storage platform 214, and the transfer mechanism 300 is used to transfer the workpiece 500 to the storage platform 110; the detection mechanism 400 is used to detect the workpiece 500 on the storage platform 110. The feeding mechanism 200 is part of the feeding device. The feeding mechanism 200 uses a pusher block 220 to push the workpiece 500 onto the temporary storage platform 214 along the inclined direction of the sliding surface 212a. During feeding, the operator only needs to place the workpiece 500 on the pusher block 220, making operation convenient and simple, eliminating the hassle of manually aligning the workpiece 500. When the workpiece 500 arrives at the temporary storage platform 214, the detection component 215 detects it. At this time, the transfer mechanism 300 picks up and transfers the workpiece 500 to the storage platform. The platform 110, placement part 111, clearance socket 112, and positioning post 113 cooperate with each other to install and secure the workpiece 500, preventing the workpiece 500 from changing position and causing a large number of defective injection molded parts to be produced. The transfer mechanism 300 is a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical device, which can ultimately realize the movement of the picking part 340 at any position in three-dimensional space, making it easy to pick up the workpiece 500 to the storage platform 110. The detection mechanism 400 can detect the quality of the workpiece 500, avoiding the increase in the defect rate of the final product caused by scrap or broken workpieces 500.

[0047] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 Workpiece 500 is a workpiece that extends in the left-right direction and has an L-shaped cross-section. One end of the L-shape is inserted into the clearance socket 112, and the other end of the L-shape is fastened to the placement part 111. Workpieces 500 always exist in pairs because a pair of workpieces 500 is a necessary state for injection molding of the network filter. In the mold, after injection molding, a pair of workpieces 500 can form the pins on both sides of the network filter. The principle of the temporary storage stage 214 is actually similar to that of the clearance socket 112. Another reason for the L-shaped workpiece rising along the inclined plane is that the temporary storage stage 214 is also provided with a socket. After the L-shaped workpiece 500 is pushed up along the inclined plane by the push block 220, when the end of the workpiece 500 that is close to the above-mentioned socket arrives, the L-shaped workpiece 500 will be fastened into the above-mentioned socket under the influence of its own gravity. The material picking part 340 can be a suction cup, a magnet, or an adhesive block, but generally it is a suction cup.

[0048] Reference Figures 6 to 8 Multiple clearance slots 112 are provided, and the placement part 111 is provided one-to-one with the clearance slot 112. Two L-shaped workpieces 500 can be placed in two adjacent clearance slots 112 with their apexes facing each other. Multiple workpieces 500 can also be placed to provide a preparation position and realize assembly line loading. Generally, an even number of clearance slots 112 are provided so that the workpieces 500 can exist in pairs.

[0049] In some embodiments, transfer mechanisms 300 are provided on both the left and right sides of the storage platform 110 to improve feeding efficiency and ensure the saturation of the workpieces 500 stored on the storage platform 110. It can be understood that the saturation of the workpieces 500 stored on the storage platform 110 refers to the large number of workpieces 500, which can meet the needs of production for retrieval and backup, and ensure the continuous operation of the process.

[0050] In some embodiments, the support member 210 includes: a bracket 211, including an integrally formed base 211a and a connecting block 211b, the base 211a being horizontally arranged and the connecting block 211b being inclined, and a first driving member 230 being disposed on the bracket 211; a receiving plate 212, connected to the connecting block 211b, the receiving plate 212 and the connecting block 211b having the same inclination direction, the plate surface of the receiving plate 212 being configured as a sliding surface 212a, a guide rail 212b being disposed on the receiving plate 212, and a push block 220 being slidably connected to the guide rail 212b; and baffles 213, with baffles 213 connected to the left and right sides of the receiving plate 212, the two baffles 213 and the receiving plate 212 defining a channel 216 for the workpiece 500 to slide. The support member 210 has a simple structure, and the baffles 213 can limit the width of the channel 216 to accommodate workpieces 500 of different lengths, thus having a wide range of applications.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 There are two connecting blocks 211b, which are symmetrically arranged about the vertical bisecting plane of the base 211a in the front-back direction. The connection blocks 211b are arranged in the front-back direction, which allows the workpiece 500 to be placed on the push block 220 in the front-back direction. The two push blocks in the front-back direction can push the two workpieces 500 onto the temporary storage table 214. The two workpieces 500 are in a position with their apexes facing each other on the temporary storage table 214. In this way, the workpieces 500 can be transferred to the storage table 110 in pairs during transfer. This makes it easier to transfer the workpieces 500 to the mold for injection molding. The so-called vertical bisecting plane refers to the symmetrical plane of the base 211a in the front-back direction. This structural design allows the two push blocks 220 to push a pair of workpieces 500 onto the temporary storage table 214, which satisfies both the material feeding and transfer requirements.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The baffle 213 is slidably connected to the receiving plate 212 in the left and right directions via the connecting shaft 217. The two baffles 213 can move closer or further apart in the left and right directions, so that the width of the channel 216 defined by the two baffles 213 can be adjusted to accommodate workpieces 500 of different lengths and has a wide range of applications. It is understood that the connecting shaft 217 is locked and unlocked by a locking block. Locking blocks are provided at both the left and right ends of the receiving plate 212. The connecting shaft 217 passes through the locking block. The locking block fixes the connecting shaft by ordinary screw fixing, that is, by using screws to tighten the connecting shaft 217 to achieve fixation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first driving member 230 includes: a motor 231, which is mounted on the bracket 211; a lead screw 232, which is rotatably connected to the receiving plate 212 and is located below the receiving plate 212; a push block 220 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 232; the lead screw 232 is driven by the motor 231; the motor 231 is used to drive the lead screw 232 to rotate, thereby driving the push block 220 to slide on the receiving plate 212. The first driving member 230 has a simple structure, and the lead screw 232 provides smooth and high-precision transmission, enabling the workpiece 500 to be smoothly transferred to the temporary storage stage 214.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The push block 220 includes: a sliding part 221, slidably connected to the guide rail 212b; a connecting part 222, wherein the receiving plate 212 is provided with a clearance opening 212c, the connecting part 222 is inserted into the clearance opening 212c and threadedly connected to the lead screw 232; and a pushing part 223, used to contact the workpiece 500 and push the workpiece 500 to move. The sliding part 221, the connecting part 222, and the pushing part 223 are integrally formed. The push block 220 has a simple structure and meets the structural requirements for sliding on the receiving plate 212. The clearance opening 212c provided on the receiving plate 212 is located in the middle of the receiving plate 212. The structure of the push block 220 can ensure that the weight of the push block 220 is evenly distributed, thereby ensuring the smooth sliding of the push block 220. It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 The sliding part 221 is also provided with a baffle, and the receiving plate 212 is provided with a photoelectric sensor. The baffle and the photoelectric sensor work together to realize counting and other functions.

[0055] In some embodiments, the pusher 223 is provided with a contouring structure 223a at one end near the workpiece 500. The contouring structure 223a is used to fit the shape of the workpiece 500 to load the workpiece 500. The contouring structure 223a can fit the corner of the L-shaped workpiece 500, which is convenient for placing the L-shaped workpiece 500 and for pushing. It can be understood that when the L-shaped workpiece 500 is placed at the contouring structure 223a, the top corner of the L-shaped workpiece 500 faces the same direction as the inclination direction of the receiving plate 212.

[0056] A method of using a feeding device, applied to the feeding device, further includes the following steps:

[0057] Feed the workpiece 500 onto the contour structure 223a;

[0058] Push, start motor 231, motor 231 drives lead screw 232 to rotate, push block 220 is driven by lead screw 232 to slide along the surface of receiving plate 212, thereby push block 220 drives workpiece 500 to slide;

[0059] The detection mechanism 215 detects whether there is a workpiece 500 on both temporary storage platforms 214. If there is a workpiece 500 on both temporary storage platforms 214, the transfer mechanism 300 will grab the two workpieces 500 and transfer them to the storage platform 110. The cross-section of the workpiece 500 in the left and right directions is L-shaped. The apex corners of the two workpieces 500 on the temporary storage platform 214 are set opposite each other in the front and back directions.

[0060] After the storage and transfer mechanism 300 grabs the two workpieces 500, it transfers them to the storage table 110. The two workpieces 500 are positioned opposite each other in the front-back direction on the storage table. One end of the L-shaped workpiece 500 is inserted into the clearance socket 112, and the other end is fastened to the placement part 111.

[0061] Quality inspection is performed using the inspection mechanism 400 to inspect the workpiece 500 on the storage platform 110, checking whether the workpiece 500 is placed in place, whether the positioning is accurate, and whether there is any damage or breakage on the surface of the workpiece 500.

[0062] The feeding mechanism 200 is part of the feeding device. The feeding mechanism 200 uses a pusher block 220 to push the workpiece 500 onto the temporary storage platform 214 along the inclined direction of the sliding surface 212a. During feeding, the operator only needs to place the workpiece 500 on the pusher block 220, making operation convenient and simple, eliminating the hassle of manually aligning the workpiece 500. When the workpiece 500 arrives at the temporary storage platform 214, the detection component 215 detects it. At this time, the transfer mechanism 300 picks up and transfers the workpiece 500 to the storage platform. The platform 110, placement part 111, clearance socket 112, and positioning post 113 cooperate with each other to install and secure the workpiece 500, preventing the workpiece 500 from changing position and causing a large number of defective injection molded parts to be produced. The transfer mechanism 300 is a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical device, which can ultimately realize the movement of the picking part 340 at any position in three-dimensional space, making it easy to pick up the workpiece 500 to the storage platform 110. The detection mechanism 400 can detect the quality of the workpiece 500, avoiding the increase in the defect rate of the final product caused by scrap or broken workpieces 500.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
