DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The application provides a feeding mechanism, which comprises a first conveying platform 100, at least a part of the first conveying platform 100 being movably arranged and used for conveying a tray 110; a second conveying platform 200, which is arranged in parallel with the first conveying platform 100; a first transfer assembly 300, at least a part of the first transfer assembly 300 being movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 from the first conveying platform 100 to the second conveying platform 200, and a plurality of feeding areas 210 being arranged on the second conveying platform 200; a feeding assembly 400, which is movably arranged along a predetermined track to place materials on the tray of the feeding area 210; a third conveying platform 500, which is arranged on a side of the second conveying platform 200 away from the first conveying platform 100 and is movably arranged; and a second transfer assembly 600, at least a part of the second transfer assembly 600 being movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 of the feeding area 210 to the third conveying platform 500 for conveying.

[0033] According to the feeding mechanism provided in the application, the feeding mechanism comprises a first conveying platform 100, a second conveying platform 200, a first transfer assembly 300, a feeding assembly 400, a third conveying platform 500 and a second transfer assembly 600. At least part of the first conveying platform 100 is movably arranged to convey a tray 110. The second conveying platform 200 is arranged in parallel with the first conveying platform 100. At least part of the first transfer assembly 300 is movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 from the first conveying platform 100 to the second conveying platform 200. The second conveying platform 200 is provided with a plurality of feeding areas 210. The feeding assembly 400 is movably arranged along a predetermined track to place materials on the tray of the feeding area 210. The third conveying platform 500 is arranged on the side of the second conveying platform 200 away from the first conveying platform 100, and the third conveying platform 500 is movably arranged. At least part of the second transfer assembly 600 is movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 of the feeding area 210 to the third conveying platform 500 for conveying. By arranging the first conveying platform 100 and the second conveying platform 200 in parallel and the first transfer assembly 300 movably, efficient and rapid transfer of the tray 110 is realized, so that the feeding process can be more closely coupled with other processes of the production line, the waiting time and the material processing time are reduced, and the production efficiency is significantly improved. The plurality of feeding areas 210 on the second conveying platform 200 and the movability of the feeding assembly 400 enable the feeding mechanism to flexibly cope with materials and trays of different sizes and shapes, and also facilitate adjustment of the number and position of the feeding areas according to production requirements, enhancing the scalability of the system. The precise transfer capability of the first transfer assembly 300 and the second transfer assembly 600, combined with the feeding areas 210 on the second conveying platform 200, ensures that the materials can be accurately placed on the predetermined position, reduces the risk of material misplacement and damage, and improves the quality of finished products. The entire feeding process is highly automated, reducing the dependence on manual operation, reducing human errors, and also reducing the labor intensity of workers, improving the safety and stability of production. The arrangement of the third conveying platform 500 and the second transfer assembly 600 ensures that the full tray after feeding can enter the subsequent production process in time and continuously, avoiding interruption of the production line and improving the continuity of the production line.

[0034] The first conveying platform 100 is used for conveying empty trays, and a feeding platform 900 is arranged on the side of the first conveying platform 100 away from the second conveying platform 200, the feeding platform 900 is used for conveying materials, and a feeding assembly 400 is arranged above the first conveying platform 100, the feeding assembly 400 is preferably a mechanical arm, the mechanical arm clamps the materials on the feeding platform 900 and places the materials on a tray in a feeding area 210, and when the tray in one of the plurality of feeding areas 210 is full of materials, the tray is conveyed to the third conveying platform 500 by the second transfer assembly 600 and is output. In this way, the trays in the respective feeding areas 210 can be independently controlled, the second transfer assembly 600 is arranged in multiple groups, the multiple groups of the second transfer assembly 600 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of feeding areas 210, the fourth transfer assembly 800 is arranged in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of the fourth transfer assembly 800 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple groups of the second transfer assembly 600, so that the trays on the second conveying platform 200 do not need to be conveyed in sequence, and it is ensured that the full trays can enter the subsequent production process in time and continuously.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, the second conveying platform 200 further comprises a conveying area 220 arranged beside each feeding area 210, and a third conveying platform 500 opposite to each feeding area 210 and the conveying area 220 respectively. After the tray 110 is transferred from the feeding area 210 to the third conveying platform 500, the third conveying platform 500 drives the tray 110 to move to a position corresponding to the conveying area 220, and then the tray 110 is transferred to the conveying area 220 for conveying. By arranging the conveying area 220 beside the feeding area 210, the tray 110 can be quickly and seamlessly transferred to the third conveying platform 500 after feeding, and then moved to a position corresponding to the conveying area 220 for subsequent conveying. This design shortens the waiting time of the material between feeding and conveying, speeds up the material flow, and significantly improves the production efficiency. The transfer and conveying paths of the tray 110 are separated, so that feeding and conveying can be optimized independently, and the system can respond more quickly to changes in production demand, such as adjusting the feeding frequency or changing the conveying direction, without affecting other parts of the production line. The arrangement of the conveying area 220 optimizes the spatial layout of the production line, avoiding the space congestion that may be caused by the direct transition of the tray between feeding and conveying. After the tray 110 completes feeding in the feeding area 210, it is smoothly transferred to the conveying area 220 by the third conveying platform 500, reducing the violent movement from the feeding area to the conveying line and prolonging the service life of the equipment. The transfer path of the tray 110 is clear, from the feeding area 210 to the third conveying platform 500, and then to the conveying area 220. The control logic of this process is relatively simple, which reduces the system failure rate and facilitates system maintenance and troubleshooting. The arrangement of the conveying area 220 enables the third conveying platform 500 to immediately receive the next tray after completing the transfer of the current tray, without waiting for the current tray to be completely conveyed. This parallel processing capability improves the multi-task processing capability of the production line.

[0036] Further, the feeding mechanism further comprises a third transfer assembly 700 arranged on the third conveying platform 500, at least part of which is movably arranged to drive the tray 110 to move to the conveying area 220. The third transfer assembly 700 can accurately transfer the full tray from the third conveying platform 500 to the conveying area 220, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the material conveying process, and avoiding the situation of material accumulation or interruption on the production line. Through the movable arrangement of the third transfer assembly 700, the feeding mechanism can better adapt to the needs of different production line layouts, and quickly adjust the transfer path even when the production line needs to be adjusted or expanded, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the production line. The addition of the third transfer assembly 700 makes the automation process of the feeding mechanism more perfect, from the reception, feeding to conveying of the tray, achieving full automation and improving the overall automation level of the production line.

[0037] In the implementation process, the first transmission platform 100 is provided with a first avoiding passage 120; the first transfer assembly 300 comprises: a first lifting component 310 arranged below the first transmission platform 100, the first lifting component 310 being telescopically arranged in the vertical direction; and a first transfer platform 320 arranged on the first lifting component 310, the first transfer platform 320 being arranged opposite to the first avoiding passage 120, the first lifting component 310 driving the first transfer platform 320 to pass through the first avoiding passage 120, then driving the tray 110 to be jacked up, and driving the tray 110 to move to the second transmission platform 200. Through the design of the first avoiding passage 120, the first transfer platform 320 can complete the transfer action without occupying the tray 110 transmission path on the first transmission platform 100, which not only avoids the influence of the transfer process on the transmission efficiency, but also fully utilizes the space to realize a compact and efficient production line layout. The first lifting component 310 is telescopically arranged in the vertical direction, which reduces the mechanical interference between different components in the transfer process, improves the accuracy and safety of the transfer, and avoids equipment damage or transfer failure caused by interference. The automatic operation of the first lifting component 310 and the first transfer platform 320 ensures the rapid jacking up and transfer of the tray 110, reduces the manual operation link, and improves the automation level and production efficiency of the production line. The design allows the tray 110 to be transferred at different heights and positions, enhances the adaptability of the feeding mechanism to different production line layouts, and can flexibly respond to various production demands and changes. The transfer action is closely connected with the transmission process of the tray 110, ensuring the continuous and smooth material transfer process from the first transmission platform 100 to the second transmission platform 200, avoiding the interruption of the production line, and improving the production continuity. In a large-scale production environment, the efficient cooperation of the first transmission platform 100 and the first transfer assembly 300 can quickly respond to the high load demand of the production line, ensure the feeding efficiency, and be suitable for various high-speed and large-batch production scenarios.

[0038] Preferably, the first lifting component 310 is a first air cylinder, and the first transfer platform 320 is a first conveying belt, the first conveying belt being sleeved on two conveying wheels, a transmission wheel being connected with a driving motor, the driving motor driving the transmission wheel to rotate, thereby driving the first conveying belt to move to convey the tray, and the driving end of the first air cylinder being connected with the driving motor.

[0039] In the present application, the second transmission platform 200 is provided with a second avoiding passage 230, the first avoiding passage 120 and the second avoiding passage 230 are communicated, and the first transfer platform 320 is movably arranged in the horizontal direction to drive the tray 110 to move to the second avoiding passage 230, then drive the tray 110 to fall until the tray 110 is placed on the second transmission platform 200. The first transfer platform 320 can first move the tray 110 horizontally to the second avoiding passage 230, and then vertically fall onto the second transmission platform 200. This design avoids obstacles and other equipment on the production line that may be encountered by direct vertical falling, ensuring smooth flow of materials. The arrangement of the second avoiding passage 230 means that the feeding mechanism can not only handle regular feeding tasks, but also can flexibly adjust the transfer path of the tray through the avoiding passage when encountering special working conditions (such as equipment maintenance, material abnormalities, etc.), ensuring the continuous operation of the production line. The communication design of the first avoiding passage 120 and the second avoiding passage 230 enables efficient transfer operation in limited space, reduces the limitation on the layout of the production line, provides more spatial freedom for other equipment and processes, and through the intermediate transition of the second avoiding passage 230, the first transfer platform 320 can more stably and accurately place the tray 110 on the second transmission platform 200, reducing the material vibration and damage that may be caused by direct falling. The design of the avoiding passage reduces the risk of collision between the tray 110 and other equipment or personnel on the production line during direct falling, improving the safety of the operation. The combination of the second avoiding passage 230 and the first transfer platform 320 enables the feeding mechanism to better adapt to production line equipment of different heights and positions, improving the compatibility and collaborative work ability between equipment. By separating horizontal movement and vertical falling, the control logic of the transfer process is simplified, the complexity of the control system is reduced, and the stability and reliability of the system are improved.

[0040] Specifically, the second transmission platform 200 is provided with a second avoiding passage 230, and the second transfer assembly 600 comprises: a second lifting component 610 arranged below the second transmission platform 200, the second lifting component 610 being movably arranged in the vertical direction; and a second transfer platform 620 arranged on the second lifting component 610, the second lifting component 610 pushing the second transfer platform 620 through the second avoiding passage 230 and then abutting against the first transfer platform 320 to transfer the tray 110 to the second transfer platform 620. The vertical movement of the second lifting component 610 and the abutting design of the second transfer platform 620 make the transfer process of the tray 110 more smooth, reduce the moving distance in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the transfer efficiency and shortening the material processing cycle. The design of the second avoiding passage 230 enables the second transfer platform 620 to first descend below the second transmission platform 200 and then move horizontally, effectively utilizing the vertical space and avoiding excessive occupation of the horizontal space, thereby optimizing the production line layout. Through the lifting action of the second lifting component 610, the tray 110 can be transferred flexibly at different heights, and this height adjustment capability enables the system to adapt to different heights of the feeding area 210, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the operation. The arrangement of the second avoiding passage 230 avoids the interference between the second transfer platform 620 and other equipment or materials of the production line, optimizes the flow path of the materials on the production line, reduces the material flow blockage, and improves the material flow efficiency of the whole line. The abutting transfer mode of the second lifting component 610 and the second transfer platform 620 reduces the moving range of the tray 110 in the transfer process and reduces the collision risk in the transfer process, thereby reducing the equipment failure rate and improving the stability of the production system. The design of the second transfer assembly 600 closely cooperates with the avoiding structure of the second transmission platform 200, enhances the integration and coordination of the whole feeding mechanism, and makes the whole system run more smoothly.

[0041] Preferably, the first transfer platform 320 and / or the second transfer platform 620 is a conveying belt; the first conveying platform 100 comprises a plurality of first conveying rollers 130, and the first avoiding passage 120 is arranged between two adjacent first conveying rollers 130; the second conveying platform 200 comprises a plurality of second conveying rollers 240, and the second avoiding passage 230 is arranged between two adjacent second conveying rollers 240. The conveying belt has good material carrying capacity and stable conveying characteristics, which can ensure that the tray 110 remains stable during the transfer process, reduces displacement and shaking, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the transfer. The first conveying platform 100 and the second conveying platform 200 adopt conveying rollers, which can adapt to trays of different materials, weights and sizes, and provide more flexible feeding and conveying solutions. The arrangement of the first avoiding passage 120 and the second avoiding passage 230 enables the feeding robot and the transfer assembly to effectively avoid each other during operation, avoiding production interruption or efficiency reduction caused by interference between the equipment and the materials.

[0042] In the implementation process, the second conveying platform 200 is provided with a second avoiding passage 230, and the third conveying platform 500 is provided with a third avoiding passage 510; the second transfer assembly 600 comprises: a second lifting component 610 arranged below the second conveying platform 200, the second lifting component 610 being movably arranged in the vertical direction; and a second transfer platform 620 arranged on the second lifting component 610, the second lifting component 610 pushing the second transfer platform 620 to move in the vertical direction; the feeding mechanism further comprises: a fourth transfer assembly 800, which comprises: a fourth lifting component 810 arranged below the third conveying platform 500, the fourth lifting component 810 being movably arranged in the vertical direction; and a fourth transfer platform 820 arranged on the fourth lifting component 810, the fourth lifting component 810 pushing the fourth transfer platform 820 to pass through the third avoiding passage 510 and then abutting against the second transfer platform 620 to transfer the tray 110 onto the fourth transfer platform 820. The precise cooperation between the second transfer assembly 600 and the fourth transfer assembly 800 can realize efficient and smooth circulation of the tray 110 between the second conveying platform 200 and the third conveying platform 500, reduce the waiting time in the material processing process, and improve the material circulation efficiency of the entire production line. The design of the second avoiding passage 230 and the third avoiding passage 510 ensures that the transfer operation does not interfere with other logistics activities on the conveying platform, effectively utilizes the vertical space of the production line, optimizes the spatial layout of the production line, reduces the floor area, and is conducive to building an efficient production line in a limited space. The automatic movement of the second lifting component 610 and the fourth lifting component 810, as well as the automatic abutment of the second transfer platform 620 and the fourth transfer platform 820, make the entire feeding process highly automated, reduce the need for manual operation, reduce production costs, and improve the safety and stability of production. By setting the avoiding passage and using the lifting type transfer platform, direct friction and collision of the tray 110 during the transfer process are avoided, equipment wear is reduced, the service life of the equipment is prolonged, and the long-term cost of maintenance and replacement of parts is reduced. The smooth handover of the tray 110 between the second transfer platform 620 and the fourth transfer platform 820 reduces the risk of dropping or damaging the material during the processing process, ensures the safety of the material processing, and reduces the material loss in the production process. The second avoiding passage 230 on the second conveying platform 200 enables the platform to handle multiple feeding tasks simultaneously, while the third avoiding passage 510 on the third conveying platform 500 provides an independent logistics passage for subsequent conveying activities, supports multi-task parallel processing of the production line, and improves production efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, the third conveying platform 500 comprises a plurality of third conveying rollers 520, and the third escape passage 510 is arranged between two adjacent third conveying rollers 520. The arrangement of the third escape passage 510 allows equipment maintenance or material adjustment during the conveying process without interrupting the operation of the entire production line. At the same time, the design of multiple conveying rollers ensures that other areas on the platform can still convey materials normally even when the escape passage is open, improving the continuity and flexibility of the conveying. The third escape passage 510 ingeniously utilizes the gap between the two adjacent third conveying rollers 520, avoiding the occupation of additional space, making the design of the third conveying platform 500 more compact, and effectively optimizing the spatial layout of the production line.

[0044] The third conveying platform 500 is provided with a fourth escape passage 530, and the third transfer assembly 700 comprises: a third lifting component 710 arranged below the third conveying platform 500, the third lifting component 710 being movably arranged in the vertical direction; and a third transfer platform 720 arranged on the third lifting component 710, the third lifting component 710 pushing the third transfer platform 720 through the fourth escape passage 530 to transfer the tray 110 to the conveying area 220. The third transfer platform 720 stably moves the tray 110 to the conveying area 220 through the fourth escape passage 530, effectively avoiding the impact that may be generated by direct transfer, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the material conveying process, and further improving the conveying efficiency. The design of the third escape passage 510 provides operating space below the third conveying platform 500, making the transfer action of the third transfer assembly 700 more flexible, while reducing the interference with other equipment of the production line, optimizing the overall spatial layout. The combination of the fourth escape passage 530 and the third transfer assembly 700 enables the system to adapt to different production line layouts and material handling requirements, enhancing the flexibility of the feeding mechanism and the adaptability of the production line. The automated operation of the third lifting component 710 and the third transfer platform 720 reduces manual intervention, improves the automation level of material handling, and reduces the manual error rate on the production line; the third transfer platform 720 can immediately prepare to receive the next tray after completing the transfer of the current tray 110, and this parallel processing capability improves the material handling capacity of the production line, supporting high-load production of the production line.

[0045] In the present application, the transmission area 220 is also provided with a fifth transfer assembly 250, which is used to dock with the third transfer platform 500 on the third transfer platform 720, to transport the full tray to the transmission area 220 for transportation. The present application increases the third transfer platform 500 as a transition platform, which is actually still an empty tray conveying line (i.e. the first transfer platform 100) and a full tray conveying line (the second transfer platform 200), which divides the second transfer platform 200 into the loading area 210 and the transmission area 220, and cooperates with the third transfer platform 500, which provides additional material processing space for the production line, so that the system can more flexibly cope with sudden changes in material demand, such as switching of material types or adjustment of production tasks. The setting of the transition platform can simplify the control logic between the main line body and the loading position, and through material scheduling and control on the third transfer platform, the complex control between the main line body and the loading position is avoided, and the stability and reliability of the system are improved. Through the transition of the third transfer platform 500, the production line can support parallel operation of multiple stations, improve the parallel processing capacity of the production line, and further enhance the production efficiency.

[0046] As shown in Figure 9 The entire production mode needs three line bodies to complete, two main line bodies (the first transfer platform 100 and the second transfer platform 200) for conveying empty trays and full trays, and one backflow line (the third transfer platform 500) for backflowing full trays. The empty tray is conveyed to the loading position 1 and the loading position 2 through the empty tray conveying line, and the positioning mechanism positions the empty tray, and then the loading robot A and the loading robot B load the empty tray on the loading position 1 and the loading position 2, respectively.

[0047] Line body full tray result determination operation logic.

[0048] Determination: a full tray of the loading position 1; b full tray of the loading position 2; c full tray of the loading position 1 and the loading position 2 at the same time;

[0049] a full tray of the loading position 1: the loading robot A stops loading, the full tray of the loading position 1 is transferred to the backflow line through the second transfer assembly 600, and then the empty tray on the waiting position 1 (located on the first transfer platform) is transferred to the loading position 1 through the first transfer assembly, the positioning mechanism of the loading position 1 positions the empty tray, and then the loading robot A starts loading the empty tray, and the full tray on the backflow line is transferred back to the main line body through the third transfer assembly at the end of the line body.

[0050] b The tray of the feeding position 2 is full: the feeding robot B stops feeding, the full tray of the feeding position 2 is moved to the reflow line by another set of second moving components, then the empty tray in the waiting position 2 is moved to the feeding position 2 by another set of first moving components, after the positioning mechanism of the feeding position 2 positions the empty tray, the feeding robot B starts feeding the empty tray, and the full tray on the reflow line is moved back to the main line body by the third moving component at the end of the line body.

[0051] c The trays of the feeding position 1 and the feeding position 2 are full at the same time: the feeding robot A and the feeding robot B stop feeding, the full tray of the feeding position 1 and the full tray of the feeding position 2 are moved to the reflow line by corresponding second moving components respectively, then the empty trays in the waiting position 1 and the waiting position 2 are moved to the feeding position 1 and the feeding position 2 by first moving components respectively, after the positioning mechanisms of the feeding position 1 and the feeding position 2 position the empty trays respectively, the feeding robot A and the feeding robot B start feeding the empty trays, and the full trays on the reflow line are moved back to the main line body by the third moving component at the end of the line body in turn.

[0052] By analogy, the station can also simultaneously feed multiple devices, as long as the logic is followed, the devices can work independently and do not interfere with each other.

[0053] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:

[0054] According to the feeding mechanism provided in the application, the feeding mechanism comprises a first conveying platform 100, a second conveying platform 200, a first transfer assembly 300, a feeding assembly 400, a third conveying platform 500 and a second transfer assembly 600. At least part of the first conveying platform 100 is movably arranged to convey a tray 110. The second conveying platform 200 is arranged in parallel with the first conveying platform 100. At least part of the first transfer assembly 300 is movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 from the first conveying platform 100 to the second conveying platform 200. The second conveying platform 200 is provided with a plurality of feeding areas 210. The feeding assembly 400 is movably arranged along a predetermined track to place materials on the tray of the feeding area 210. The third conveying platform 500 is arranged on the side of the second conveying platform 200 away from the first conveying platform 100, and the third conveying platform 500 is movably arranged. At least part of the second transfer assembly 600 is movably arranged to transfer the tray 110 of the feeding area 210 to the third conveying platform 500 for conveying. By arranging the first conveying platform 100 and the second conveying platform 200 in parallel, and the first transfer assembly 300 being movable, efficient and rapid transfer of the tray 110 is realized, so that the feeding process can be more closely coupled with other processes of the production line, and the waiting time and material processing time are reduced, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency. The plurality of feeding areas 210 on the second conveying platform 200, and the movability of the feeding assembly 400 enable the feeding mechanism to flexibly cope with materials and trays of different sizes and shapes, and also facilitate adjustment of the number and position of the feeding areas according to production requirements, thereby enhancing the scalability of the system. The accurate transfer capability of the first transfer assembly 300 and the second transfer assembly 600, in combination with the feeding areas 210 on the second conveying platform 200, ensures that the materials can be accurately placed on the predetermined position, reduces the risk of material misplacement and damage, and improves the quality of finished products. The entire feeding process is highly automated, reduces the dependence on manual operation, reduces human errors, and also reduces the labor intensity of workers, thereby improving the safety and stability of production. The arrangement of the third conveying platform 500 and the second transfer assembly 600 ensures that the full tray after feeding can enter the subsequent production process in time and continuously, avoids interruption of the production line, and improves the continuity of the production line.
