[0031] Reference Figure 1A coil discharging and feeding machine comprises: a machine 100, a plurality of storage mechanisms 200, a separation mechanism 300 and a discharging mechanism 400, wherein a feeding bin 500 is arranged on the machine 100; the plurality of storage mechanisms 200 are arranged on the machine 100, and the storage mechanisms 200 are used to store a plurality of coils; the separation mechanism 300 and each storage mechanism 200 are docked with the separation mechanism 300, and the coils at the storage mechanism 200 can move to the separation mechanism 300, and the separation mechanism 300 is used to drive two adjacent coils to move away from each other; the separation mechanism 300 can drive the coils to move to the discharging mechanism 400, and the discharging mechanism 400 is used to arrange the coils and transport the arranged coils to the feeding bin 500. The plurality of storage mechanisms 200 store the coils respectively. When taking the coils, the plurality of storage mechanisms 200 will simultaneously transport the plurality of coils to the separation mechanism 300. After the separation mechanism 300 separates the coils on the storage mechanism 200, each storage mechanism 200 will respectively deliver a single or a single group of coils to the discharge mechanism 400, so that the discharge mechanism 400 simultaneously has coils delivered by each storage mechanism 200. Finally, the discharge mechanism 400 can arrange these coils and deliver them to the feed bin 500 after arrangement, so that the feed bin 500 has coils accurately arranged according to the requirements. The separation mechanism 300 can separate adjacent coils and enter the feed bin 500 in a predetermined arrangement under the action of the discharge mechanism 400. Thus, multiple coils can be placed in the feed bin 500 in a predetermined arrangement, so as to facilitate the subsequent use of the coils arranged as required, thereby making the discharge and feeding operation of the coils more efficient and accurate.

[0032] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 3 The storage mechanism 200 includes a storage column 210 installed on the machine 100, the storage column 210 is oriented to be tilted downward, and the separation mechanism 300 is located at the bottom of the storage column 210; a blocking structure 250 is provided in the middle of the storage column 210. Due to structural requirements, there will be a hollow part in the middle of the coil. The storage column 210 can be inserted into the hollow part, so that the storage effect of the coil can be simply and effectively achieved, so as to facilitate the subsequent use of the coil. When the coil needs to be used, the blocking structure 250 can be controlled to open. Since the storage column 210 is oriented to be tilted downward, when the blocking structure 250 cancels the blocking of the coil, the coil will slide to the bottom of the storage column 210 under the action of its own weight, so that the effect of driving the coil to move to the separation mechanism 300 located at the bottom of the storage column 210 can be smoothly achieved, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the coil.

[0033] Specifically, the storage column 210 is provided with an in-place sensor, which can detect whether the coil on the storage column 210 is in place, so that the separation mechanism 300 can be opened and closed in time according to the in-place status of the coil, so that the separation mechanism 300 and the discharge mechanism 400 can operate in time and accurately according to the feeding situation of the coil.

[0034] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 4 The blocking structure 250 includes a first linear driver 257, and blocking blocks 253 are provided on both sides of the storage column 210; each blocking block 253 is connected to the first linear driver 257 and can synchronously approach the storage column 210 or synchronously move away from the storage column 210. After the first linear driver 257 is started, the blocking block 253 will be driven to move closer to or away from the storage column 210. When the blocking block 253 moves closer to the storage column 210, the blocking block 253 will block the sliding of the coil, so that the coil cannot slide down by itself, thereby achieving the effect of interrupting the feeding of the coil. In addition, the blocking blocks 253 located on both sides of the storage column 210 can stably support the coil, thereby ensuring that the coil can be stably and smoothly stored in the storage column 210. When the coil needs to be fed, the first linear drive 257 can be used to drive the blocking block 253 away from the storage column 210, so that the storage column 210 and the coil are relatively far apart, and the coil can slide off the storage column 210 under the action of its own weight, thereby achieving the effect of automatic feeding of the coil.

[0035] Specifically, the first linear driver 257 is a finger cylinder, and the blocking blocks 253 are two and are respectively connected to the two output ends of the finger cylinder. Of course, the first linear driver 257 can also be other components, such as a motor that connects and drives the blocking blocks 253 through a screw nut pair. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0036] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 6 The separation mechanism 300 includes a material tray 335, which is located at the bottom of the material storage column 210; the material tray 335 is connected to a second linear drive 330, which is connected to the material tray 335 and can drive it to move closer to or away from the material storage column 210. After the second linear drive 330 is started, it will drive the material tray 335 to move to the bottom of the material storage column 210 and support the coil, so that the coil can be positioned, which is convenient for subsequent separation of the coil and further discharge operations.

[0037] Specifically, the second linear drive 330 is a cylinder, which is connected to the supporting tray 335 and is used to drive the linear motion thereof.

[0038] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 5 The machine 100 is provided with a guide post 370, which is connected to the material storage post 210, and one end of the guide post 370 away from the material storage post 210 extends to the discharge mechanism 400; the material tray 335 is movably arranged between the guide post 370 and the material storage post 210. After the coil moves from the material storage post 210 to the guide post 370, it will be sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 370 and further slide down on the outer periphery of the guide post 370. The guide post 370 can guide the movement of the coil between the material storage post 210 and the discharge mechanism 400, thereby ensuring that the coil can move smoothly and accurately to the discharge mechanism 400, so as to facilitate the discharge mechanism 400 to arrange the coil.

[0039] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 5 The separation mechanism 300 includes a paddle 313, which can be moved and inserted between two adjacent coils to separate the two adjacent coils. The paddle 313 can be moved and inserted into the gap between the two coils to separate the two coils. Thereafter, as the paddle 313 continues to extend and the paddle 313 pokes the coils, the two adjacent coils will be driven and moved away, thereby directly and effectively separating the adjacent coils, thereby facilitating the subsequent arrangement and feeding of the individually separated coils.

[0040] It is conceivable that the separation mechanism 300 may also be composed of other components, such as using a magnetic component to absorb multiple coils together, and using a viscous component or a negative pressure absorption component to drive a single coil away from the magnetic component, thereby achieving a separation effect between a single coil and other coils. The specific implementation method is not unique, but can be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0041] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 7 The machine 100 is provided with a third linear driver 311, the third linear driver 311 is connected to a fourth linear driver 312, and the fourth linear driver 312 is connected to a paddle 313; the driving directions of the third linear driver 311 and the fourth linear driver 312 are staggered. One of the third linear driver 311 and the fourth linear driver 312 can drive the paddle 313 to move and insert between two adjacent coils, and then the other of the third linear driver 311 and the fourth linear driver 312 can drive the paddle 313 to move axially relative to the coil, thereby expanding the gap between the two adjacent coils, so that the effect of separating the two adjacent coils can be directly and effectively achieved.

[0042] It is conceivable that the third linear drive 311 and the fourth linear drive 312 may be composed of drive components such as cylinders, and the specific implementation is not unique, but may be adjusted accordingly according to actual circumstances, and is not limited here.

[0043] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the discharging mechanism 400 includes a feeding belt 410 arranged on the machine 100, and the feeding bin 500 and the storage mechanism 200 are respectively located at the two ends of the feeding belt 410; the feeding belt 410 is provided with a recursive cylinder 450, and the recursive cylinder 450 can drive the coil to move relative to the feeding belt 410. Each storage mechanism 200 will convey the separated coils to the feeding belt 410. After the separated coils are conveyed to the feeding belt 410, the feeding belt 410 will drive the coils to move, so that the coils can be smoothly driven to the feeding bin 500. In this process, there will be coils conveyed by different storage mechanisms 200 on the feeding belt 410. The recursive cylinder 450 can push each coil on the feeding belt 410 at this time, so that the coils on the conveyor belt can be arranged under the pushing effect of the recursive cylinder 450, and then the effect of the coils entering the feeding bin 500 in a predetermined arrangement can be effectively achieved.

[0044] It is conceivable that the discharge mechanism 400 may also be composed of other components, such as a magnet disposed at the bottom of the feed bin 500, and the coil is automatically moved close to the target position by magnetic force, thereby achieving the effect of positioning the coil. Therefore, the specific implementation of the discharge mechanism 400 is not unique, but can be adjusted accordingly according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0045] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 1 A manipulator 470 is provided between the feeding belt 410 and the feeding bin 500, and the manipulator 470 is used to drive the coil from the feeding belt 410 to the feeding bin 500. The manipulator 470 can drive the coil to move by clamping, so that the movement process of the coil from the conveyor belt to the feeding bin 500 can be carried out more stably, thereby avoiding the coil from being damaged due to the drop between the conveyor belt and the feeding bin 500.

[0046] In certain embodiments, reference Figure 8 A visual inspection mechanism is provided between the feeding belt 410 and the feeding bin 500. The visual inspection mechanism can detect the state of the coils between the feeding belt 410 and the feeding bin 500, thereby ensuring that the coils enter the feeding bin 500 in a predetermined arrangement in a good state, so as to facilitate the use of the coils in subsequent operation processes.

[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
