[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a feeding device is provided, which includes a receiving member 10, a first driving member 20, a first supporting member 30 and a second driving member 40. The receiving member 10 is provided with a limiting groove 11 along its width direction, and the limiting groove 11 can be connected to the vibration plate so that the workpiece can enter the limiting groove 11; the output end of the first driving member 20 is connected to one end of the receiving member 10, and is used to drive the receiving member 10 to move to the feeding station along its length direction; the receiving member 10 is arranged on the first supporting member 30; the output end of the second supporting member 50 is connected to the first supporting member 30, and is used to drive the first supporting member 30 to move along the width direction of the receiving member 10, so that the receiving member 10 can be away from the vibration plate.

[0044] In this device, the receiving member 10 is docked with the vibration plate, and the workpiece can directly enter the limiting groove 11 of the receiving member 10, thereby ensuring that the workpiece will not easily fall off the receiving member 10 during the loading process, thereby ensuring the stability during loading. In addition, before loading, the second driving member 40 will first drive the receiving member 10 away from the vibration plate along the width direction of the receiving member 10, thereby avoiding that part of the workpiece is located in the limiting groove 11 and the other part is located in the connection device between the vibration plate and the receiving member 10, thereby ensuring that when the first driving member 20 drives the receiving member 10 to load along the length direction of the receiving member 10, the workpiece will not be squeezed and damaged, and the loading effect is good.

[0045] It should be noted here that, in the present embodiment, the workpiece is the outer shell of the infusion regulator, and the vibrating disk and the receiving member 10 are connected by a conveying track. In other embodiments, this device can also be used to complete the loading of other components, and the present embodiment does not limit the scope of use. It should be further noted that the first driving member 20 and the second driving member 40 are both cylinders, which have a simple structure, are inexpensive and easy to install. In other embodiments, a telescopic motor can also be used instead of a cylinder, and no other limitations are made in the present embodiment. In addition, the feeding device is made of 6061-0 aluminum alloy material, which not only meets the hygiene standards for the production of medical devices, but also has high strength to ensure service life.

[0046] To further improve the feeding efficiency, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the receiving member 10 is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks 12, and the plurality of limiting blocks 12 are arranged in a linear array along the length direction of the receiving member 10, and a limiting groove 11 is formed between two adjacent limiting blocks 12. This arrangement can simplify the structure of the limiting groove 11, and at the same time, the plurality of limiting grooves 11 can dock with a plurality of conveying tracks, thereby completing the loading of a plurality of workpieces at the same time; in addition, the plurality of limiting grooves 11 are arranged in a linear array, and are also conveniently connected with a plurality of conveying tracks, so that the workpieces can be conveniently loaded. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, there are twelve limiting grooves 11, which are docked with six conveying tracks each time. When six workpieces enter the six limiting grooves 11 correspondingly, the first driving member 20 drives the receiving member 10 to move along the first direction (the length direction of the receiving member 10), so that the other limiting grooves 11 that have not been fed dock with the conveying track, so that the twelve limiting grooves 11 can each accommodate a workpiece, and the first driving member 20 drives the receiving member 10 to the loading station, thereby completing the operation.

[0047] To further ensure the limiting effect, Figure 3 As shown, each limiting block 12 includes a plurality of limiting sub-blocks 121, and the plurality of limiting sub-blocks 121 are arranged in a linear array along the width direction of the receiving member 10. In this example, each limiting block 12 includes two limiting sub-blocks 121 arranged at intervals, that is, every two adjacent limiting sub-blocks 121 in the length direction of the receiving member 10 can limit the workpiece, so that the two adjacent limiting blocks 12 can limit both ends of the workpiece, thereby reducing the overall weight of the receiving member 10 while ensuring a good limiting effect.

[0048] In order to prevent the workpiece from entering the limit groove 11 and causing damage due to a rigid collision with the limit groove 11, a plurality of limit grooves 11 are provided with buffers. By providing the buffer, the impact force on the workpiece and the limit groove 11 can be absorbed, thereby preventing the workpiece from being damaged. It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the buffer is made of nylon cloth, which not only plays a buffering role, but also has the characteristics of smoothness and wear resistance, thereby ensuring a good feeding effect and protection effect on the workpiece. In addition, an optical sensor is also provided in the limit groove 11, which can detect the position and quantity of the workpiece, thereby facilitating subsequent work.

[0049] In addition, the receiving member 10 is slidably connected to the first supporting member 30. This connection mode can reduce the movement resistance of the first driving member 20 driving the receiving member 10 along the first direction, so that the movement of the receiving member 10 is smoother, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0050] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, a first sliding assembly 60 is provided between the receiving member 10 and the first supporting member 30, and the first sliding assembly 60 includes a first slide rail 61 and a first slider 62. The output direction of the first slide rail 61 is parallel to the length direction of the receiving member 10, and the first slider 62 can slide along the output direction of the first slide rail 61, and the receiving member 10 is connected to the first slider 62. In this structure, the cooperation between the first slider 62 and the first slide rail 61 can facilitate the installation of the receiving member 10, and there is no need to set a slide groove at the bottom of the receiving member 10, thereby achieving the purpose of simplifying the overall structure and reducing the overall cost; in addition, it is also convenient to disassemble and assemble the receiving member 10 and the first slider 62, thereby facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the feeding process, the feeding device also includes a second support member 50, the second driving member 40 is arranged on the second support member 50, the first support member 30 is arranged on the second support member 50, and the bottom end of the second support member 50 is provided with a plurality of pillars 70, and the plurality of pillars 70 are arranged at a preset position. By providing a plurality of pillars 70, the entire feeding device can be installed at a preset position and the overall stability can be ensured. In addition, by providing the second support member 50 on the pillar 70, the second driving member 40 can be easily installed, thereby simplifying the overall structure and reducing the initial cost.

[0052] What needs to be explained here is that Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first driving member 20 is arranged on the first supporting member 30 through the connecting member 90, and the output end of the first driving member 20 can drive the receiving member 10 to extend and retract along the first direction; the second driving member 40 is arranged at the bottom end of the second supporting member 50, and the output end of the second driving member 40 is connected to the first supporting member 30 through the connecting member 90, so that the second driving member 40 can drive the first supporting member 30 to extend and retract along the second direction (the width direction of the receiving member 10) through the connecting member 90.

[0053] also, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first support member 30 is slidably connected to the second support member 50. This arrangement can reduce the movement resistance of the second driving member 40 driving the first support member 30 along the second direction, making the movement process smoother, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, a second sliding assembly 80 is provided between the first support member 30 and the second support member 50, and the second sliding assembly 80 includes a second slide rail 81 and a second slider 82. The output direction of the second slide rail 81 is parallel to the width direction of the receiving member 10, and the second slider 82 can slide along the output direction of the second slide rail 81, and the first support member 30 is connected to the second slider 82. In this structure, the cooperation of the second slider 82 and the second slide rail 81 can simplify the overall structure of the first support member 30, and there is no need to set a slide groove at the bottom of the first support member 30, thereby achieving the purpose of simplifying the overall structure and reducing the overall cost.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a feeding device, which includes a vibration plate, a conveying track and the above-mentioned feeding device, one end of the conveying track is connected to the vibration plate, and the other end is connected to the limit groove 11, the vibration plate can make the workpiece enter the limit groove 11 through the conveying track, the second driving member 40 can drive the receiving member 10 away from the conveying track, and the first driving member 20 can drive the receiving member 10 to move to the feeding station. The feeding device uses the above-mentioned feeding device, which can improve the feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy, and reduce labor costs.

[0056] The feeding process in this embodiment is described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0057] The first driving member 20 drives the receiving member 10 to move to the conveying track, and makes the six limiting grooves 11 correspond to the six conveying tracks respectively, so that the infusion regulator housing in the vibration plate can enter the limiting grooves 11 correspondingly through the conveying tracks; at this time, the second driving member 40 drives the first supporting member 30 to slide along the width direction of the receiving member 10 to make the receiving member 10 away from the conveying track, and the first driving member 20 drives the receiving member 10 to move along its length direction so that the remaining six limiting grooves 11 are connected to the conveying track. After completion, the second driving member 40 drives the first supporting member 30 to slide along the width direction of the receiving member 10 again, thereby ensuring that the workpiece will not be squeezed and damaged by the limiting grooves 11 and the conveying track at the same time during the loading process.
