[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment provides a feeding device 1000, which can be used to automatically feed materials into a packaging box 3000. The materials can be bundled cables such as telephone cables, data cables or network cables.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding device 1000 may have a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z that are perpendicular to each other. The third direction Z may be parallel to the direction of gravity.

[0065] In the embodiment, the feeding device 1000 includes a storage unit 100, a material distribution unit 300, a material sorting unit 400, a feeding unit 500 and a frame 200. In addition, the feeding device 1000 also includes a feeding direction M. In some embodiments, the feeding direction M can be parallel to the first direction X.

[0066] The frame 200 can serve as an installation carrier in the feeding device 1000, and other units in the feeding device 1000 can be installed on the frame 200. The storage unit 100, the material distribution unit 300, the material sorting unit 400 and the feeding unit 500 can be installed in the frame 200 in sequence along the feeding direction M.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the material storage unit 100 may include a silo assembly 110, which can be used to pre-store materials. The silo assembly 110 may have a silo outlet 1102 for discharging materials. The material receiving end 301 of the material distribution unit 300 may be located below the silo outlet 1102 in the direction of gravity in the silo assembly 110, so that the materials discharged from the silo outlet 1102 can fall into the material distribution unit 300 under the action of gravity. In embodiments, the material distribution unit 300 can be used to transport materials one by one to the material sorting unit 400.

[0068] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 can be used to adjust the orientation of the materials and allow the materials to enter the feeding unit 500 one by one according to a preset posture. The feeding unit 500 can be used to feed the materials one by one to a preset position. The preset position can be the internal space of the packaging box 3000 located below the feeding unit 500.

[0069] During operation, materials can be pre-stored in the storage unit 100, which then delivers the materials to the distribution unit 300. The distribution unit 300 then conveys the materials one by one to the sorting unit 400. Once the materials enter the sorting unit 400, they are oriented and directed to the feeding unit 500 in a predetermined position. The feeding unit 500 then delivers the materials one by one to the predetermined position. This allows for automated material feeding, freeing up the operator's hands, reducing labor costs, and improving feeding accuracy and minimizing errors.

[0070] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the silo assembly 110 may include a silo 111, a stirring plate 112, and a door panel 114. In some embodiments, the silo 111 may be roughly T-shaped box structure, and a storage chamber 1103 may be formed therein. The top of the storage chamber 1103 may be configured to be open and may form a silo entrance 1101. An operator may add materials to the silo 111 through the silo entrance 1101. In addition, a silo outlet 1102 may be provided on the peripheral side of the silo 111 near one end of the bottom, which is connected to the storage chamber 1103. The material in the storage chamber 1103 may be output from the silo 111 through the silo exit 1102. Accordingly, the silo entrance 1101 may be located above the silo exit 1102 in the direction of gravity. When the material enters the storage chamber 1103 through the silo entrance 1101, the material may move toward the silo exit 1102 under the action of gravity.

[0071] In some embodiments, a stirring plate 112 may be disposed within the storage chamber 1103. One side of the stirring plate 112 may be slidably connected to a side plate of the silo 111, wherein the sliding direction of the stirring plate 112 may be parallel to the direction of gravity. In some embodiments, the stirring plate 112 may separate the storage chamber 1103 into a first sub-chamber 1104 and a second sub-chamber 1105, wherein the first sub-chamber 1104 is disposed near the silo inlet 1101 and the second sub-chamber 1105 is disposed near the silo outlet 1102.

[0072] In an embodiment, a side plate of the silo 111 opposite the stirring plate 112 may be tilted relative to the direction of gravity. Accordingly, the side of the side plate facing the stirring plate 112 may be configured as an inclined surface 1111. The inclined surface 1111 may gradually tilt toward the stirring plate 112 from the end near the silo inlet 1101 to the end near the silo outlet 1102. In some embodiments, the stirring plate 112 may also be tilted relative to the direction of gravity. Specifically, the stirring plate 112 may gradually tilt toward the silo inlet 1101 from the end near the inclined surface 1111 to the end away from the inclined surface 1111.

[0073] When the stirring plate 112 moves in the direction of gravity, the gap between the stirring plate 112 and the inclined surface 1111 can gradually increase or decrease. Specifically, when the stirring plate 112 moves toward the silo entrance 1101, the gap between the stirring plate 112 and the inclined surface 1111 can gradually increase, and the material in the first sub-material chamber 1104 can fall into the second sub-material chamber 1105 through the gap, and the stirring plate 112 can stir the material in the first sub-material chamber 1104, reducing the possibility of the material being stuck. When the stirring plate 112 moves away from the silo entrance 1101, the gap between the stirring plate 112 and the inclined surface 1111 can gradually decrease, and can prevent the material in the first sub-material chamber 1104 from entering the second sub-material chamber 1105.

[0074] In some embodiments, the storage unit 100 further includes a first drive member 121, which can be fixedly mounted on one side of the hopper 111 and in transmission connection with the stirring plate 112. The first drive member 121 can be used to drive the stirring plate 112 to move in the direction of gravity. In some embodiments, the first drive member 121 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0075] In other embodiments, the first driving member 121 may also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or the like.

[0076] In other embodiments, the sliding direction of the stirring plate 112 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The first driving member 121 can be used to drive the stirring plate 112 to slide closer to or away from the inclined surface 1111 to achieve on-off control between the first sub-cavity 1104 and the second sub-cavity 1105.

[0077] It is understandable that the feeding device 1000 further includes a control unit (not shown), which can be electrically connected to other electrical components in the feeding device 1000. Thus, the control unit can control the operation of other electrical components in the feeding device 1000.

[0078] In addition, the feeding device 1000 also includes an alarm unit 700, which can emit an audible and visual alarm when necessary to remind the operator to take appropriate measures in a timely manner. Accordingly, the alarm unit 700 can include a speaker and a three-color indicator light.

[0079] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the door panel 114 can be installed at the position of the silo outlet 1102. Specifically, one side edge of the door panel 114 can be hinged to the silo 111 by a hinge, and the other side of the door panel 114 can serve as a movable side. When the door panel 114 rotates relative to the silo 111, the silo outlet 1102 can be opened and closed. In an embodiment, the storage unit 100 also includes a third drive member 123, and the third drive member 123 can be fixedly installed on the outside of the silo 111. The output shaft of the third drive member 123 can be connected to the side of the door panel 114 away from the storage cavity 1103. The third drive member 123 can be used to drive the door panel 114 to rotate relative to the silo 111 to open or close the silo outlet 1102. In some embodiments, the third drive member 123 can be a cylinder.

[0080] In other embodiments, the third driving member 123 may also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0081] In other embodiments, the door panel 114 may also be rotatably connected to the silo 111 via a rotating shaft. The third driving member 123 may be a motor, whose output shaft may be drivingly connected to one end of the rotating shaft connected to the door panel 114. The third driving member 123 may rotate by driving the rotating shaft, thereby driving the door panel 114 to rotate relative to the silo 111.

[0082] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 1112 of the silo 111 near the silo outlet 1102 can be tilted. Specifically, the bottom plate 1112 can be gradually tilted toward the silo inlet 1101 from the end near the silo outlet 1102 to the end away from the silo outlet 1102. Thus, the bottom plate 1112 can guide the material in the second sub-cavity 1105 toward the silo outlet 1102, allowing the material in the second sub-cavity 1105 to converge toward the silo outlet 1102 and be discharged through the silo outlet 1102.

[0083] In other embodiments, the silo outlet 1102 may be formed at the location where the bottom plate 1112 is disposed in the silo 111. The door plate 114 may be disposed at the bottom of the silo 111 and may be located below the second sub-cavity 1105 in the direction of gravity.

[0084] In some embodiments, the silo 111 further includes a separator 113, which can be disposed in the second sub-cavity 1105 and can separate the second sub-cavity 1105 into a first chamber 1106 and a second chamber 1107. The first chamber 1106 and the second chamber 1107 can be distributed along the direction of gravity. Specifically, the first chamber 1106 is disposed adjacent to the first sub-cavity 1104, and the silo outlet 1102 can be located on one side of the second chamber 1107.

[0085] In addition, the separator 113 can be slidably mounted on the hopper 111, and the connection between the first chamber 1106 and the second chamber 1107 can be controlled by the separator 113. In some embodiments, the sliding direction of the separator 113 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Accordingly, the separator 113 can be slidably inserted from one side of the hopper 111 and can be extended and retracted relative to the second sub-chamber 1105. When the separator 113 is extended relative to the second sub-chamber 1105, it can be stopped between the first chamber 1106 and the second chamber 1107, preventing the material in the first chamber 1106 from entering the second chamber 1107. When the separator 113 is retracted relative to the second sub-chamber 1105, the first chamber 1106 can be connected to the second chamber 1107, and the material in the first chamber 1106 can enter the second chamber 1107.

[0086] In one embodiment, the storage unit 100 further includes a second drive member 122. The second drive member 122 can be fixedly mounted on the outside of the hopper 111 and is in driving connection with the material separator 113. Thus, the second drive member 122 can drive the material separator 113 to slide, thereby controlling the flow between the first chamber 1106 and the second chamber 1107. In some embodiments, the second drive member 122 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0087] In other embodiments, the second driving member 122 may also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0088] In other embodiments, the material separator 113 may also be rotatably connected to the hopper 111. The second driving member 122 may be used to drive the material separator 113 to rotate, so as to realize the on-off control between the first chamber 1106 and the second chamber 1107.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the first chamber 1106 is connected to the second chamber 1107, the partition plate 113 is located in a section inside the second sub-material chamber 1105 and can be tilted and tilted toward the direction close to the second chamber 1107, thereby guiding the material in the first chamber 1106 to the second chamber 1107.

[0090] In some embodiments, the hopper 111 may include two parallel second sub-cavities 1105, which may be separated by a partition 115. In some embodiments, the structures and configurations of the two second sub-cavities 1105 may be similar. The stirring plate 112 may simultaneously control the connection and disconnection between the first sub-cavity 1104 and the two second sub-cavities 1105. That is, the second sub-cavity 1105 may be connected or disconnected to both second sub-cavities 1105 simultaneously.

[0091] In some embodiments, the partition 115 may also extend into the first sub-cavity 1104 and may separate the first sub-cavity 1104 at one end close to the second sub-cavity 1105 into two spaces.

[0092] During use, the control unit can control the two door panels 114 to open alternately, that is, each time material is fed into the distributing unit 300, one door panel 114 can be opened, and the door panel 114 can be opened for a preset time, so that materials within a preset quantity range can enter the distributing unit 300. For example, each time material is fed, no more than 10 materials can enter the distributing unit 300.

[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, the control unit may also control the two door panels 114 to open simultaneously.

[0094] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage unit 100 further includes a first detection member 131, a second detection member 132, and a third detection member 133. The first detection member 131 can be fixedly mounted on one side of the silo 111, and the detection end of the first detection member 131 can be arranged toward the first sub-material cavity 1104. The first detection member 131 can be used to detect whether there is material in the first sub-material cavity 1104. The second detection member 132 can be provided in two groups, which can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two first chambers 1106. The second detection member 132 can be fixedly mounted on one side of the silo 111, and the detection end of the second detection member 132 can be arranged toward the first chamber 1106. The second detection member 132 can be used to detect whether there is material in the first chamber 1106. The third detection member 133 can also be provided in two groups, which can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two second chambers 1107. The third detecting member 133 may be fixedly mounted on one side of the silo 111 , and a detecting end of the third detecting member 133 may be disposed toward the second chamber 1107 . The third detecting member 133 may be used to detect whether there is material in the second chamber 1107 .

[0095] In some embodiments, the first detection element 131 , the second detection element 132 , and the third detection element 133 may all be photoelectric sensors.

[0096] During use, when the third detection member 133 detects that there is no material in the second chamber 1107 (i.e., no material), the control unit can control the corresponding second driving member 122 to drive the partition plate 113 to move, so that the second chamber 1107 is connected to the first chamber 1106 above it, so that the material in the first chamber 1106 enters the second chamber 1107 for replenishment. When the second detection member 132 detects that there is no material in the first chamber 1106, and the third detection member 133 detects that there is no material in the second chamber 1107, the control unit can control the first driving member 121 to operate, so as to operate the stirring plate 112, and transport the material in the first sub-material chamber 1104 to the first chamber 1106, and then replenish the material from the first chamber 1106 to the second chamber 1107.

[0097] When the first detecting element 131 senses that the first sub-material chamber 1104 is empty, or the third detecting element 133 senses that the first sub-material chamber 1104 is empty for a preset period of time, the alarm unit 700 may be activated to remind the operator to refill the material.

[0098] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the material distribution unit 300 may include a first conveyor belt 310 , a buffer bin 320 and a scraper 330 .

[0099] In some embodiments, the first conveyor belt 310 can be rotatably mounted on the frame 200 and is transmission-connected to a corresponding drive member, which can be used to drive the first conveyor belt 310 to transport materials. In an embodiment, the first conveyor belt 310 can extend from the material storage unit 100 to the material sorting unit 400. The two ends of the first conveyor belt 310 can be arranged along the first direction X. In addition, the first conveyor belt 310 can be arranged at an angle relative to the first direction X. Specifically, along the third direction Z, the end of the first conveyor belt 310 near the material sorting unit 400 can be located above the end of the first conveyor belt 310 near the material storage unit 100.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first conveyor belt 310 is further provided with a plurality of spaced-apart material blocking plates 340 protruding from its surface. While the first conveyor belt 310 is transporting material, the material can be positioned between two adjacent material blocking plates 113, which provide support for the material, allowing it to gradually move upward under the influence of the first conveyor belt 310. In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent material blocking plates 113 can be tailored to the size of the material, allowing one piece of material to fit between two adjacent material blocking plates 113.

[0101] In addition, the first conveyor belt 310 is further configured with a first conveying side 311 . During the process of transporting the material, the material may be located on the first conveying side 311 of the first conveyor belt 310 .

[0102] In some embodiments, the buffer bin 320 can be fixedly mounted on the frame 200 and can be located at one end of the first conveyor belt 310 near the storage unit 100. In addition, the buffer bin 320 can be located on the first conveying side 311 of the first conveyor belt 310. In some embodiments, the buffer bin 320 can be located below the silo outlet 1102 of the storage unit 100 in the direction of gravity. In an embodiment, the side of the buffer bin 320 facing the storage unit 100 can be configured as an opening. When material falls out of the silo outlet 1102, it can fall directly into the buffer bin 320. Accordingly, the end of the buffer bin 320 facing the storage unit 100 can serve as the receiving end 301 of the distributing unit 300.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first conveyor belt 310 may pass through one side of the buffer bin 320, and the side of the buffer bin 320 facing the first conveyor belt 310 may also be configured to be open. Accordingly, the materials in the buffer bin 320 may leave the buffer bin 320 under the drive of the first conveyor belt 310 and gradually move toward the material sorting unit 400.

[0104] In some embodiments, a wall panel of the buffer bin 320 opposite the first conveyor belt 310 may be tilted. Specifically, the wall panel may be tilted gradually away from the storage unit 100, from a side away from the first conveyor belt 310 to a side closer to the first conveyor belt 310. This allows the material in the buffer bin 320 to be gathered toward the first conveyor belt 310 under the action of gravity, allowing the material to be smoothly carried out of the buffer bin 320 by the first conveyor belt 310.

[0105] In some embodiments, a fourth detection member 361 is further provided on one side of the buffer bin 320, with a detection end of the fourth detection member 361 facing the interior of the buffer bin 320. The fourth detection member 361 can be used to detect whether there is material in the buffer bin 320. When the fourth detection member 361 detects that there is no material in the buffer bin 320, the control unit can control the third driving member 123 of the storage unit 100 to operate to feed material into the buffer bin 320. In some embodiments, the fourth detection member 361 can be a photoelectric sensor.

[0106] In some embodiments, the scraper plate 330 can be connected to the side of the hopper 111 facing the material distribution unit 300 and can be positioned opposite the first conveying side 311 of the first conveyor belt 310. In some embodiments, the scraper plate 330 can be used to scrape off material on the first conveyor belt 310 that exceeds a preset height. The scraped material can fall back into the buffer bin 320 under the action of gravity, ensuring that only one piece of material is between two adjacent blocking plates 340.

[0107] In some embodiments, the scraper plate 330 is detachably connected to the frame 200, and the distance between the scraper plate 330 and the first conveyor belt 310 can be adjusted as needed, thereby allowing the feeding device 1000 to adapt to different materials. Specifically, the scraper plate 330 can have a waist-shaped hole 331 parallel to the third direction Z on the side facing away from the first conveyor belt 310. To secure the scraper plate 330 to the silo 111, a bolt can be inserted through the waist-shaped hole 331 and tightened with a nut. To adjust the position of the scraper plate 330, the nut can be loosened to allow the bolt and scraper plate 330 to move relative to each other. Once adjusted, the nut can be tightened again.

[0108] In other embodiments, the waist-shaped hole 331 may also be replaced by a plurality of circular connecting holes, and the plurality of circular connecting holes may be arranged in sequence along the third direction Z.

[0109] In some embodiments, the material distribution unit 300 further includes a second guide plate 350. The second guide plate 350 may have a U-shaped plate structure and enclose a material guide trough 351. The second guide plate 350 may be fixedly mounted relative to the frame 200 and located at the end of the first conveyor belt 310 near the material sorting unit 400. One end of the material guide trough 351 may be connected to the first conveyor belt 310, so that material discharged from the first conveyor belt 310 may enter the material guide trough 351. Furthermore, the end of the second guide plate 350 distal from the first conveyor belt 310 may be located below the end of the second guide plate 350 proximal to the first conveyor belt 310 along the third direction Z and offset in the first direction X. In this embodiment, after passing through the material guide trough 351, the material may directly enter the material sorting unit 400. Accordingly, the end of the material guide trough 351 distal from the first conveyor belt 310 may serve as the discharge end 302 of the material distribution unit 300.

[0110] In some embodiments, the material distribution unit 300 further includes a fifth detection member 362. The fifth detection member 362 may be provided at one end of the first conveyor belt 310 close to the second guide plate 350. A cache position 312 may be provided at one end of the first conveyor belt 310 close to the second guide plate 350. The detection end of the fifth detection member 362 may be arranged toward the cache position 312. The fifth detection member 362 may be used to detect whether there is material in the cache position 312. When the fifth detection member 362 detects that there is material in the cache position 312, the control unit may control the first conveyor belt 310 to stop running. When the material sorting unit 400 needs material, the control unit may control the first conveyor belt 310 to run so that the material in the cache position 312 enters the material sorting unit 400. When there is no material in the cache position 312, the control unit may control the first conveyor belt 310 to continue running so that a material is waiting in the cache position 312.

[0111] In other embodiments, the first conveyor belt 310 may also be parallel to the first direction X. The scraper plate 330 may be slidably disposed on the first conveying side 311 of the first conveyor belt 310 , and the scraper plate 330 may be connected to a corresponding driving member, which may be used to drive the scraper plate 330 to move, so as to scrape the material on the first conveyor belt 310 that exceeds a preset height back to the buffer bin 320 .

[0112] like Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the feeding device 1000 further includes a movable frame 610, which can be slidably mounted on the frame 200, and the sliding direction of the movable frame 610 can be parallel to the third direction Z. In the embodiment, both the material sorting unit 400 and the feeding unit 500 can be mounted on the movable frame 610, so that the heights of the material sorting unit 400 and the feeding unit 500 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to packaging boxes 3000 of different heights, ensuring that the feeding unit 500 can smoothly feed materials into the packaging boxes 3000.

[0113] In an embodiment, two spaced-apart slide rails 620 may be fixedly mounted on the frame 200, and the extension direction of the slide rails 620 may be parallel to the third direction Z. The two ends of the movable frame 610 may be slidably connected to the two slide rails 620 in a one-to-one correspondence. In addition, the feeding device 1000 further includes a lead screw 630 and a fourth drive member 640. The lead screw 630 is rotatably mounted on the frame 200 and may be arranged between the two slide rails 620 and parallel to the slide rails 620. The fourth drive member 640 may be mounted on the frame 200 and be transmission-connected to the lead screw 630. In some embodiments, the fourth drive member 640 may optionally be a handwheel, and the operator may manually adjust the positions of the material handling unit 400 and the feeding unit 500.

[0114] In other embodiments, the fourth driving member 640 may also be a motor.

[0115] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 includes a second conveyor belt 410 and a material sorting plate 420. The second conveyor belt 410 can be rotatably mounted on the movable frame 610, and the input end of the second conveyor belt 410 can be arranged near the material distribution unit 300 and can be located below the discharge end 302 of the material distribution unit 300 in the direction of gravity. The material output by the material distribution unit 300 can fall directly onto the second conveyor belt 410. The output end of the second conveyor belt 410 can be arranged near the feeding unit 500. In the embodiment, the running direction of the second conveyor belt 410 can be parallel to the first direction X. It is understandable that the second conveyor belt 410 can be connected to a corresponding driving member, and the second conveyor belt 410 can be driven by the driving member to run. In addition, the side of the second conveyor belt 410 facing away from the movable frame 610 can be configured with a second conveying side 4103, that is, a side that can be used to carry materials.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second conveyor belt 410 further includes a first side 4101 and a second side 4102 spaced apart from each other. The first side 4101 and the second side 4102 are both parallel to the first direction X, that is, the first side 4101 and the second side 4102 can extend along the feeding direction M.

[0117] In an embodiment, the material sorting plate 420 can be fixedly mounted on the movable frame 610 and located at intervals on the second conveying side 4103 of the second conveyor belt 410. In some embodiments, a guide surface 421 can be configured on the side of the material sorting plate 420 facing the second side 4102. The guide surface 421 can be tilted relative to the feeding direction M. Specifically, the guide surface 421 can gradually tilt toward the second side 4102 from the end close to the material dividing unit 300 to the end close to the feeding unit 500, that is, the distance between the guide surface 421 and the second side 4102 gradually decreases. In some embodiments, the distance between the end of the guide surface 421 close to the feeding unit 500 and the second side 4102 can be equal to or slightly larger than the width of the material.

[0118] When the second conveyor belt 410 drives the material through the material sorting plate 420, the material may contact the guide surface 421 and adjust its orientation under the squeezing action of the guide surface 421. For example, the material sorting plate 420 may adjust the material to be longitudinal, that is, the length direction of the material may be consistent with the feeding direction M.

[0119] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 further includes a first baffle 431, a second baffle 432, and a clamping block 440. The first baffle 431 can be disposed at one end of the second conveyor belt 410 near the material distributing unit 300. The second baffle 432 can be disposed at the second side edge 4102 of the second conveyor belt 410 and disposed opposite the guide surface 421. The first baffle 431 and the second baffle 432 are both fixedly mounted on the movable frame 610 and protrude relative to the second conveying side 4103 of the second conveyor belt 410. In embodiments, the first baffle 431 and the second baffle 432 can be used to prevent material from falling from corresponding positions on the second conveyor belt 410.

[0120] In this embodiment, the clamping block 440 is slidably mounted on the side of the material sorting plate 420 facing away from the second conveyor belt 410. The clamping block 440 can be located at the end of the material sorting plate 420 that is closest to the feeding unit 500. In other words, the clamping block 440 can be positioned near the output end of the material sorting unit 400. The clamping block 440 can cooperate with the second baffle 432 to clamp the material. The sliding direction of the clamping block 440 can be perpendicular to the second baffle 432, that is, the sliding direction of the clamping block 440 can be parallel to the second direction Y.

[0121] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 further includes a fifth driving member 450. The fifth driving member 450 can be fixedly mounted on a side of the material sorting plate 420 facing the clamping block 440 and can be in driving connection with the clamping block 440. Thus, the fifth driving member 450 can drive the clamping block 440 to slide toward and away from the second baffle 432.

[0122] In some embodiments, the material handling unit 400 further includes a sixth detection member 461, which can be fixedly mounted on a side of the movable frame 610 near the feeding unit 500. The sixth detection member 461 can be used to detect whether material has reached the output end of the material handling unit 400, thereby determining whether material is between the clamping block 440 and the second baffle 432. In some embodiments, the sixth detection member 461 can be a photoelectric sensor.

[0123] During use, when the sixth detection member 461 detects the presence of material between the clamping block 440 and the second baffle 432, the control unit can control the second conveyor belt 410 to stop and activate the fifth drive member 450 to enable the clamping block 440 and the second baffle 432 to cooperate and clamp the material. The control unit can then control the second conveyor belt 410 to reverse direction to move the material upstream of the clamped material away, thereby separating the two adjacent materials and preventing them from being too close together and being fed into the feeding unit 500 at the same time. After the upstream material is separated from the material between the clamping block 440 and the second baffle 432, the control unit can control the second conveyor belt 410 to run forward as needed to feed the material between the clamping block 440 and the second baffle 432 into the feeding unit 500.

[0124] In addition, when the sixth detection element 461 detects that there is no material at the output end of the material sorting unit 400 for a long time, the control unit can control the alarm unit 700 to issue an alarm prompt to remind the operator to handle it in time.

[0125] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 further includes a seventh detection member 462, and the seventh detection member 462 may optionally use a grating sensor. The transmitting portion and the receiving portion of the seventh detection member 462 may be separately arranged on both sides of the first conveyor belt 310. In addition, the transmitting port of the transmitting portion and the receiving port of the receiving portion may protrude relative to the side of the second baffle 432 away from the movable frame 610 to avoid the second baffle 432 from blocking the seventh detection member 462. In an embodiment, along the feeding direction M, the seventh detection member 462 may be arranged on the side of the clamping block 440 close to the material distribution unit 300. During use, the seventh detection member 462 can be used to detect whether there is material on a section of the second conveyor belt 410 close to the material distribution unit 300. When there is no material on a section of the second conveyor belt 410 close to the material distribution unit 300, the control unit may control the material distribution unit 300 to feed material to the material sorting unit 400.

[0126] In some embodiments, the material sorting unit 400 further includes a first guide plate 470. The first guide plate 470 may be fixedly connected to the side of the movable frame 610 facing the second conveyor belt 410. The first guide plate 470 may be located at an end of the second conveyor belt 410 close to the feeding unit 500. In some embodiments, the first guide plate 470 may gradually tilt toward the first side edge 4101 from an end close to the material distribution unit 300 to an end away from the material distribution unit 300. Thus, when the second conveyor belt 410 feeds the material to the feeding unit 500, the material may be adjusted to a horizontal direction under the action of the first guide plate 470, that is, the length direction of the material may be perpendicular to the feeding direction M, so that the material may be fed into the feeding unit 500 in a horizontal posture. In some embodiments, the preset posture of the material may be the horizontal posture of the material.

[0127] like Figure 1、 Figure 3 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding unit 500 may include a feeding bin 510, a first movable plate 521, a second movable plate 522, and a pushing plate 541. The feeding bin 510 may be located below the output end of the material sorting unit 400 in the direction of gravity, and the inlet of the feeding bin 510 may be arranged toward the output end of the material sorting unit 400, so that the material output from the material sorting unit 400 may fall into the feeding bin 510.

[0128] In some embodiments, the feeding bin 510 may have a first buffer chamber 511 and a second buffer chamber 512. The first buffer chamber 511 may be located near the entrance of the feeding bin 510 and may be located above the second buffer chamber 512 in the direction of gravity. The material output from the material sorting unit 400 may first fall into the first buffer chamber 511.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first movable plate 521 can be slidably inserted into the feeding bin 510 and can be telescopically arranged relative to the interior of the feeding bin 510. The sliding direction of the first movable plate 521 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity. In an embodiment, the first movable plate 521 can be used to control the connection and disconnection between the first buffer cavity 511 and the second buffer cavity 512. When the first movable plate 521 is inserted into the feeding bin 510, the first movable plate 521 can block the first buffer cavity 511 and the second buffer cavity 512, disconnecting the connection between the first buffer cavity 511 and the second buffer cavity 512, and preventing the material in the first buffer cavity 511 from falling into the second buffer cavity 512. When the first movable plate 521 is pulled out relative to the feeding bin 510, the first buffer cavity 511 and the second buffer cavity 512 can be connected, and the material in the first buffer cavity 511 can fall into the second buffer cavity 512.

[0130] In some embodiments, the feeding unit 500 further includes a sixth driving member 531, which can be fixedly mounted on the movable frame 610 and located on one side of the feeding bin 510. The output shaft of the sixth driving member 531 can be drivingly connected to the first movable plate 521. Thus, the sixth driving member 531 can drive the first movable plate 521 to slide. In some embodiments, the sixth driving member 531 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0131] In other embodiments, the sixth driving member 531 may also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0132] In other embodiments, one end of the first movable plate 521 is rotatably connected to the feeding bin 510. The sixth driving member 531 can be a motor, which can be used to drive the first movable plate 521 to rotate to control the opening and closing of the first buffer chamber 511 and the second buffer chamber 512.

[0133] In an embodiment, the second movable plate 522 can be slidably disposed at the outlet position of the feeding bin 510, and the sliding direction of the second movable plate 522 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity. In an embodiment, the second movable plate 522 can be used to control the opening and closing of the outlet of the feeding bin 510. When the second movable plate 522 covers the outlet of the feeding bin 510, the outlet of the feeding bin 510 can be closed, and the material in the second buffer cavity 512 can be prevented from falling out of the feeding bin 510. When the second movable plate 522 is misaligned with the outlet of the feeding bin 510, the outlet of the feeding bin 510 can be opened, and the material in the second buffer cavity 512 can fall out of the outlet of the feeding bin 510 and fall into the packaging box 3000 to complete the feeding.

[0134] In some embodiments, the feeding unit 500 further includes a seventh driving member 532, which can be fixedly mounted on the movable frame 610 and located on one side of the feeding bin 510. The output shaft of the seventh driving member 532 can be drivingly connected to the second movable plate 522. Thus, the seventh driving member 532 can drive the second movable plate 522 to slide. In some embodiments, the seventh driving member 532 can be a pneumatic cylinder. In some embodiments, the seventh driving member 532 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0135] In other embodiments, the seventh driving member 532 may also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0136] In other embodiments, one end of the second movable plate 522 is rotatably connected to the feeding bin 510. The seventh driving member 532 can be a motor, which can be used to drive the second movable plate 522 to rotate to control the opening and closing of the feeding bin 510 outlet.

[0137] In some embodiments, the push plate 541 can be slidably installed in the feeding bin 510 and can be located in the second buffer cavity 512. The sliding direction of the push plate 541 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity and the sliding direction of the second movable plate 522 at the same time. In some embodiments, the sliding direction of the push plate 541 can be parallel to the length direction of the material. The push plate 541 can be used to adjust the position of the material in the second buffer cavity 512 so that the material can smoothly fall into the packaging box 3000 through the outlet of the feeding bin 510. Exemplarily, the push plate 541 can be used to push the material in the second buffer cavity 512 to abut against the side wall opposite to the push plate 541.

[0138] In some embodiments, the feeding unit 500 further includes an eighth driving member 542. The eighth driving member 542 can be fixedly mounted on one side of the feeding bin 510 and can be in driving connection with the push plate 541. The eighth driving member 542 can be used to drive the push plate 541 to slide. In some embodiments, the eighth driving member 542 can be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0139] In other embodiments, the eighth driving member 542 may also be an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0140] In some embodiments, the feeding unit 500 further includes an eighth detection member 550, which can be mounted on one side of the feeding bin 510. The detection end of the eighth detection member 550 can face the interior of the first buffer cavity 511. The eighth detection member 550 can be used to detect whether there is material in the first buffer cavity 511. When the eighth detection member 550 detects that there is no material in the first buffer cavity 511, it can control the material handling unit 400 to feed material into the first buffer cavity 511 of the feeding bin 510. In some embodiments, the eighth detection member 550 can be a photoelectric sensor.

[0141] During use, the feeding device 1000 can be arranged at a specific position of the product assembly line 2000, and a ninth detection member 2100 can be set on the opposite side of the specific position of the product assembly line 2000. The ninth detection member 2100 can be used to detect whether the packaging box 3000 has moved to a position corresponding to the feeding device 1000. In some embodiments, the ninth detection member 2100 can use a photoelectric sensor. When the ninth detection member 2100 detects that the packaging box 3000 has moved into place, the control unit can control the second movable plate 522 to open the outlet of the feeding bin 510 so that the material in the second buffer cavity 512 falls into the packaging box 3000 to complete the feeding. When the feeding is completed, the control unit can control the second movable plate 522 to close the outlet of the feeding bin 510 to cache the next material. After the control unit controls the second movable plate 522 to close the outlet of the feeding bin 510, it controls the sixth driving member 531 to drive the first movable plate 521 to connect the first buffer chamber 511 with the second buffer chamber 512, allowing the material in the first buffer chamber 511 to fall into the second buffer chamber 512. After the material in the first buffer chamber 511 falls into the second buffer chamber 512, the control unit controls the first movable plate 521 to disconnect the first buffer chamber 511 from the second buffer chamber 512, allowing the first buffer chamber 511 to cache the next material.

[0142] Conventional feeding equipment 1000 usually needs to be equipped with a robot, image acquisition equipment, etc., which takes up a large space.

[0143] In view of this, the feeding device 1000 provided in this application may include at least the following advantages:

[0144] (1) The feeding device 1000 provided in the embodiments of the present application does not require a manipulator or image acquisition equipment, which significantly reduces the space occupied. During use, multiple feeding devices 1000 can be set up to work together to feed different materials. The different materials can be different bundled cables. In addition, the feeding device 1000 provided in the present application is lightweight and can be easily moved.

[0145] (2) The feeding device 1000 is equipped with a storage unit 100, which can realize the buffering of materials and reduce the number of times the operator loads materials. In addition, a stirring plate 112 is provided in the hopper 111 to make the materials move up and down, reducing the problem of materials getting stuck during the feeding process.

[0146] (3) It can realize multi-level current limiting, reasonably control the feeding speed, and reduce the occurrence of problems such as wrong feeding.

[0147] (4) The first conveyor belt 310 in the material distribution unit 300 is arranged in an ascending manner, which reduces the probability of material accumulation in the buffer bin 320. This also shortens the overall length of the feeding device 1000. Furthermore, the material distribution unit 300 is equipped with a scraper 330 that precisely controls the amount of material between two adjacent baffles 340, improving feeding accuracy.
