[0032] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" 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, 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.
[0035] 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.

[0036] An adjustable feeding time-sharing component is a component used in material supply. In this application, "adjustable" means that the parameters of the mechanism (such as feeding speed, feeding time interval, feeding amount, clamping size, etc.) can be adjusted according to actual product requirements. "Feeding" means that the main function of the mechanism is to transport materials from a fixed position to a designated position or the next link, such as transporting materials from the previous process to the next process in the production process; and the transfer of materials in and out of the storage system. "Time-sharing" means that the mechanism can allocate the supply of materials according to a set time sequence or time interval to meet different production rhythms, process requirements or material sorting requirements in the production process.
[0037] In current product production lines, a variety of raw materials are usually required for assembly on the same product. These raw materials are usually the same and / or different types of raw materials with different specifications. During product production, these raw materials need to be transported to the designated processing position through the material supply system to provide raw materials for the workstation. In the existing material supply system, materials of different specifications need to be distributed to different material trays. Since the material trays of different materials have different sizes, different handling tools or tooling in the feeding mechanism are required to be moved to the designated position to realize the handling of materials of different sizes. Therefore, the equipment investment cost is large and the floor space is large, and the production efficiency is low.
[0038] In order to solve the technical problem that the feeding mechanism in the above-mentioned existing material feeding system is not compatible with the handling of materials of different sizes, thereby resulting in low production efficiency, the embodiment of the present application provides an adjustable feeding time-sharing component, which is the technical solution of the present application. The adjustable feeding time-sharing component in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0039] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 1 to 3 All of them are three-dimensional structural schematic diagrams of an adjustable feeding time-sharing component of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an adjustable feeding time-sharing component is provided, including a first clamping mechanism 1, a second clamping mechanism 2, a material distribution mechanism 3 and a driving mechanism 4, the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 are connected by the driving mechanism 4, and the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 are each fixedly installed with the material distribution mechanism 3 at one end away from the driving mechanism 4; the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 each include a first clamping member 10, a second clamping member 11 and a support member 12, and the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are respectively slidably arranged at opposite ends of the support member 12; the driving mechanism 4 includes a first driving member 40 and a first transmission member, the first transmission member includes a first rotating shaft 41 and a second rotating shaft 42, the first driving member 40 is connected to the second rotating shaft 42 through the first rotating shaft 41, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42 are respectively connected to the corresponding first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 through a sleeve 43.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 are used to clamp and fix the container or carrier of the material, such as material trays of various sizes, to ensure that the material can be fed normally during the feeding process. Each clamping mechanism includes two clamping members, namely the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, and the two clamping members are adjusted in position by the slide rail 120 on the support member 12, so that the two clamping members can move relative to each other to adapt to material containers of different sizes. The material distribution mechanism 3 is installed at one end of the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 away from the driving mechanism 4, and is used to distribute a certain amount of material to the corresponding accommodation position of the material container within a preset time interval. The driving mechanism 4 provides power for the entire adjustable feeding time-sharing assembly, so that the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2 can work in a predetermined manner. The driving mechanism 4 includes a first driving member 40 and a first transmission member, wherein the first driving member 40 is a power source, and the first transmission member is responsible for transmitting power to the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2. The support member 12 serves as a mounting platform for the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. The support member 12 provides a stable structural support and allows the clamping member to slide thereon so as to be adjusted to a suitable position to clamp and fix the material container. The first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are the parts that directly contact the material container and are responsible for the actual grasping and fixing. The first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 can slide on the support member 12 so as to adjust the position as needed to ensure that they can adapt to material containers of different sizes. The first transmission member is composed of a first rotating shaft 41 and a second rotating shaft 42, which is used to receive power from the first driving member 40 and transmit it to the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. This ensures that the action of the clamping mechanism is controlled by the driving mechanism 4, realizing automation and precise control. The sleeves 43 are respectively located at both ends of the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42, and are used to connect the clamping members. It can be understood that the sleeve 43 and the rotating shaft (the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42) can be connected by a thread to enable the sleeve 43 to move back and forth on the rotating shaft. Specifically, the present application does not limit the specific device of the first driving member 40, which can be sufficient to provide power. Exemplarily, the first driving member 40 can be a driving motor.
[0041] In the above embodiment, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42 through the shaft sleeve 43, and the first driving member 40 is connected through the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42. When the first driving member 40 drives the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42 to rotate, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are relatively close to or away from each other through their respective corresponding shaft sleeves 43 to adapt to material trays of different sizes, thereby achieving the purpose of compatible handling of materials of different specifications. In addition, two clamping mechanisms are provided at the same time, which can carry more materials and further improve the handling efficiency; at the same time, in this embodiment, the operation of the two clamping mechanisms (the first clamping mechanism 1 and the second clamping mechanism 2) can be realized only by one first driving member 40, and the structure is simpler.
[0042] See also Figure 8 , and combined with Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 8 1 is an exploded schematic diagram of a driving mechanism 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 4 further includes a second transmission member 44, and the first transmission member is connected to the first driving member 40 through the second transmission member 44. The first transmission member further includes a coupling 45, and the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42 are connected through the coupling 45.
[0043] In this embodiment, the second transmission member 44 is used to establish a connection between the first transmission member and the first drive member 40. Specifically, the second transmission member 44 can be a gear, a pulley, a chain or other forms of transmission devices. It can adjust the mode or path of power transmission, and may be used to change the speed, torque or direction to ensure that the power can be efficiently and accurately transmitted from the first drive member 40 to the first transmission member. The coupling 45 is located between the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42. Its main function is to firmly connect the two rotating shafts together to ensure that they rotate synchronously while allowing a certain degree of offset or misalignment. The coupling 45 can also absorb vibrations and reduce impacts during operation, and provide certain protection mechanisms. For example, when an abnormal load occurs in the system, the coupling 45 can slide or separate, thereby protecting the motor and other mechanical parts from damage. At the same time, the coupling 45 is used for connection, which is more convenient for maintenance. Exemplarily, when the second clamping mechanism 2 fails, the second clamping mechanism 2 can be maintained separately by simply disassembling the coupling 45 without affecting the use of the first clamping mechanism 1.
[0044] In the above embodiment, the present application does not limit the specific type of the coupling 45, as long as it can realize the function of the adjustable feeding time-sharing mechanism of the present embodiment.
[0045] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and combined with Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 All of them are schematic diagrams of the three-dimensional structure of the second clamping mechanism 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the two sides of the support member 12 are provided with slide rails 120, and the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are respectively provided with sliders 100, and the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are slidably connected through the sliders 100 and the slide rails 120.
[0046] In this embodiment, the support member 12 is the basic frame of the entire clamping mechanism, providing installation and support for the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. It not only bears the weight of the two clamping members, but also ensures that they maintain the correct relative position and direction during operation. The slide rail 120 is a linear guide device fixedly mounted on both sides of the support member 12, which is used to guide and limit the movement path of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. The slide rail 120 ensures that the clamping member can only move in a predetermined direction, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the operation. The slider 100 is a component used in conjunction with the slide rail 120, which is mounted on the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 and directly contacts the slide rail 120. The slider 100 can slide freely along the slider 100 along the slide rail 120. It is understandable that there is a lubrication mechanism between the slider 100 and the slide rail 120 to further reduce wear and extend service life. Exemplarily, the lubrication mechanism can be to apply lubricating oil between the slider 100 and the slide rail 120.
[0047] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, a connecting block 1000 is provided in the middle of the sliding block 100 , and a avoiding hole 121 is provided in the middle of the supporting member 12 , and the connecting block 1000 passes through the avoiding hole 121 and is connected to the shaft sleeve 43 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the connecting block 1000 is a structural member installed at the center of the slider 100. Its main function is to serve as a bridge to connect the slider 100 with other mechanical parts (such as the sleeve 43), so that the slider 100 can move along the slide rail 120, and can also maintain a stable connection with the transmission system (such as the rotating shaft and the driving mechanism 4), ensuring that the power can be effectively transmitted to the clamping member (the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11). The avoidance hole 121 is an opening on the support member 12, and its position just corresponds to the connecting block 1000 on the slider 100. The main purpose of this hole is to provide enough movement space for the connecting block 1000 so that it can pass through the support member 12 smoothly without obstruction. The existence of the avoidance hole 121 allows the slider 100 to slide freely on its track without affecting the connection between the connecting block 1000 and the sleeve 43. In addition, the specific size of the avoidance hole 121 can limit the movement distance of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, and play a role in limiting. The sleeve 43 is used to transmit power. When the first driving member 40 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the slider 100 and its attached clamping member can be driven to move together through the sleeve 43. Similarly, there is also a lubrication mechanism between the sleeve 43 and the rotating shaft, which will not be described in detail here.
[0049] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 further include a supporting block 111 and a clamping block 110 , and the clamping block 110 is connected to the slider 100 via the supporting block 111 .
[0050] In this embodiment, the clamping block 110 is the part that directly contacts the material container and is responsible for the actual grasping and fixing work. Specifically, under the action of the driving mechanism 4, the clamping block 110 is tightly fitted with the surface of the material container to achieve a firm grasp. The clamping block 110 is connected to the slider 100 through the support block 111, ensuring that the clamping block 110 can move with the slider 100 and maintain a stable position and posture during the sliding process.
[0051] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the clamping block 110 of the first clamping member 10 and the clamping block 110 of the second clamping member 11 are both provided with a stopper 1100 at one opposite end and a guide block 1101 at the other opposite end.
[0052] In this embodiment, the stopper 1100 is a structural member installed at the end of the clamping block 110 on the opposite side of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, and is mainly used to limit the position of the material container to prevent the clamping position of the clamping block 110 from being uneven when clamping the material container, thereby causing problems during the movement process, and ensure that the material is in the correct position each time it is grabbed. The guide block 1101 is a structural member installed at the end of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 on the opposite side, relatively far away from the stopper 1100, and is mainly used to guide the movement direction of the material container so that the material container can accurately enter between the two clamping members. Specifically, the guide member can be an inclined surface integrally connected to the clamping block 110.
[0053] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 further include a first locator 112 and a second locator 112, wherein the first locator 112 is disposed on the outer side of the guide block 1101, and the second locator 112 is disposed on the inner side of the stop block 1100.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first locator 112 is installed on the outside of the guide block 1101, and is used to obtain the position information of the material container and determine whether a material container passes. The second locator 112 is installed on the inner side of the stopper 1100, and is used to obtain the position information of the material container and determine whether the material container moves to the preset position. The first locator 112 and the second locator 112 work together to ensure that the material container can be accurately located between the two clamping blocks 110, and maintain high precision and stability during operation. At the same time, two first locators 112 and two second locators 112 are provided, and each is respectively located on the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. The distance between the two first locators 112 and the distance between the two second locators 112 can be used to measure the distance between the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, which is used to accurately clamp the material container.
[0055] In the above embodiment, the present application does not make any specific restrictions on the first positioner 112 and the second positioner 113, as long as the above functions can be realized. For example, the first positioner 112 and the second positioner 113 can be photoelectric sensors. The photoelectric sensors detect through light beams and do not need to directly contact the target object. They can provide very high position detection accuracy, usually up to millimeter or even sub-millimeter levels, ensuring that the clamp can reach the predetermined position each time it is opened and closed. At the same time, it ensures that the material container can enter the predetermined position, thereby improving the consistency and accuracy of the operation.
[0056] See also Figure 6 to Figure 7 , and combined with Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the material distribution mechanism 3 of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7Schematic diagram of the exploded view of the material distribution mechanism 3 of the embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 3 includes a second driving member 30, a material distribution member 31 and a fixing member 32, the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 are respectively connected to the second driving member 30 through the fixing member 32, and the material distribution member 31 is connected to the second driving member 30.
[0057] In the present embodiment, the second driving member 30 is the power source of the material distribution mechanism 3, which is responsible for providing mechanical power to control the material distribution process. Specifically, the second driving member 30 can be an electric motor, a pneumatic motor, a cylinder or other forms of driving devices. The second driving member 30 not only provides power for the action of the material distribution member 31, but is also connected to the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 through the fixing member 32 to ensure that the entire material distribution operation can be carried out in a coordinated manner. The material distribution member 31 is a key component that directly performs the material distribution task, and is used to distribute a certain amount of material from the material supply source to the target position within a set time interval. The material distribution member 31 is connected to the second driving member 30, and its action is controlled by the second driving member 30 to ensure that each material distribution can be completed accurately. The fixing member 32 is an intermediate component connecting the second driving member 30 with the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, providing a stable mechanical connection to ensure the firm combination between the clamping member and the second driving member 30. At the same time, the fixing member 32 can ensure that the action of the material distribution member 31 is directly controlled by the second driving member 30, so that the time, frequency and quantity of the material distribution can be accurately adjusted according to the preset program or external signal. This direct connection method ensures the high controllability and consistency of the material distribution process. Specifically, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of material dividing holes are arranged on the material dividing member 31, and the material dividing holes on the material dividing member 31 located on the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 correspond to each other, and a channel for the material to pass through can be formed between the corresponding material dividing holes. The corresponding relationship of the material dividing holes can be changed by driving the second driving member 30, that is, the channel position of the material can be changed. Under the control of the feeding system, the material feeding position can be controlled to achieve material dividing. It should be noted that a plurality of material placement intervals are arranged on the material container, such as a material tray, and each placement interval can correspond to a channel.
[0058] Please continue reading Figure 6 to Figure 7 , and combined with Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the material dispensing mechanism 3 further includes a counter 33, and the counter 33 is disposed on the fixing member 32 and is disposed at diagonal positions of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, respectively.
[0059] In this embodiment, the counter 33 is a key component for recording and monitoring the number or quantity of material distribution. It can accurately count each material distribution operation and provide real-time data feedback to the control system of the feeding system to ensure that the quantity and frequency of each material distribution meet the preset standards, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. The fixing member 32 not only serves as an intermediate component connecting the second driving member 30 and the clamping member, but also has the task of installing the counter 33. It provides a stable installation platform for the counter 33 to ensure that it will not be disturbed by the outside world during operation, thereby maintaining measurement accuracy. The counter 33 is placed at the diagonal position of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11. The main purpose is to optimize the detection angle and range to ensure that the counter 33 can effectively monitor each material distribution action so that the counter 33 can detect the material entering each channel.
[0060] In the above embodiment, the present application does not impose any specific restrictions on the type of the counter 33, as long as it meets the functions of the present application. For example, the counter 33 can be a photoelectric sensor.
[0061] The operation process of the adjustable feeding time-sharing component provided by the present invention is:
[0062] Clamping: The material container moves between the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11, and the first driving member 40 transmits power to the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 through the second transmission member 44 and the first transmission member to drive the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11 to clamp the material container. During this process, the position of the material container is positioned by the first positioner 112 and the second positioner 112, so as to facilitate the control system to accurately control the movement distance of the first clamping member 10 and the second clamping member 11.
[0063] Powder: After completing the above clamping step, the second driving member 30 drives the material dividing member 31 to align, determines that the corresponding channel and the corresponding position in the material container correspond, and the material begins to be put in. Each material is counted by the counter 33. When the predetermined quantity or the preset time is reached, the material is stopped from being put in. The second driving member 30 drives the material dividing member 31 to align again, and then the material is started to be put in. This cycle is repeated until the material container is filled with the preset quantity, and then the feeding can be stopped to complete the material dividing.
[0064] Transport: It can be understood that the adjustable feeding time-sharing component provided in the embodiment of the present application is used in the feeding system on the production line and can be connected with other components, such as a moving component, to realize the transport of materials to a predetermined location.
