[0035] Specifically, the feeding mechanism includes a first frame 1, a material taking component 2 and a material discharging component 3. The first frame 1 is provided with a plurality of accommodating cavities 101 for storing foam 4. The material taking component 2 is slidably arranged on one side of the first frame 1 and can clamp the foam 4 in the accommodating cavity 101 and move the foam 4 along a first direction to one end of the first frame 1. The material discharging component 3 is arranged at one end of the first frame 1 and is used to push out the foam 4 at the end of the first frame 1 along a second direction. The rotating mechanism includes a second frame 5 and a rotating component 6. The second frame 5 is arranged on one side of the first frame 1 along the second direction. The rotating component 6 is rotatably arranged on the second frame 5. The rotating component 6 can receive the foam 4 pushed out by the material discharging component 3 and drive the foam 4 to rotate. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Compared with the existing technology, by using this foam feeding device, automated operation can be achieved, the feeding speed of the foam 4 can be increased, and the packing speed can be increased.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first frame 1 is provided with two accommodating chambers 101, which can increase the storage capacity of the foam 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of accommodating chambers 101 is determined according to actual conditions, which will not be described here in detail.

[0037] Optionally, in this embodiment, the material picking assembly 2 includes a clamp, a driving wheel 21, a driven wheel 22, a synchronous belt 23, and a first driving member.

The first driving member is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 21 and can drive the driving wheel 21 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 23 drives the clamp to move along the first direction. The clamp is used to clamp the foam 4. Such an arrangement enables the clamp to clamp the foam 4 in the two accommodating cavities 101. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the material picking assembly 2 can also be a cylinder structure, a cylinder structure, an electric push rod structure, etc., which can be determined according to actual conditions and will not be repeated here.

[0038] Furthermore, the material picking assembly 2 includes a guide rail 24, which is installed on the first frame 1 and extends along the first direction. The clamp is slidably connected to the guide rail 24, which can prevent the clamp from deviating and ensure that the clamp moves along the first direction.

[0039] Optionally, the fixture includes a bracket 25, a gripper 26, and a lifting cylinder 27. The bracket 25 is slidably connected to the guide rail 24.

Specifically, a groove is provided on a side of the turntable 61 near the first positioning plate 62, and the first positioning plate 62 is capable of entering the groove. After the foam 4 is delivered to the turntable 61, the third driving member drives the first positioning plate 62 to push the foam 4 in the second direction, achieving the first positioning of the foam 4 and ensuring that the foam 4 is blocked during the rotation of the turntable 61.

[0042] Furthermore, the rotation mechanism includes a second positioning plate 63 and a fourth drive member. The fourth drive member is mounted on the second frame 5.

Specifically, after the foam 4 completes the first positioning, the fourth drive member drives the second positioning plate 63 to push the foam 4 in the first direction, achieving the second positioning of the foam 4, ensuring that the foam 4 is blocked during the rotation of the turntable 61.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism also includes a third positioning plate 64 and a fifth driving member 65. The fifth driving member 65 is disposed on the second frame 5. The third positioning plate 64 is slidably disposed on the second frame 5 and is located on the other side of the turntable 61 relative to the second positioning plate 63. The third positioning plate 64 is in transmission connection with the fifth driving member 65, and the fifth driving member 65 is capable of driving the third positioning plate 64 to move along the first direction. Specifically, after the foam 4 completes the second positioning, the second driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate the turntable 61, causing the foam 4 to rotate 180°. At this time, since the foam 4 has changed direction, the fifth driving member 65 drives the third positioning plate 64 to push the foam 4 along the first direction, achieving the third positioning of the foam 4. After three positionings in three directions, the foam 4 can achieve precise positioning of foams 4 of different sizes.

[0044] Optionally, the foam feeding device further includes a detection component 9 , which is disposed on the second frame 5 and is used to detect the position and angle of the foam 4 .

The foam 4 is placed on the lifting platform 7. As the foam 4 is taken out, the height of the foam 4 gradually decreases. In order to enable the gripper 26 to grab the foam 4 as soon as possible, the seventh driving member 8 drives the lifting platform 7 to drive the foam 4 to rise, thereby increasing the discharge speed.

[0047] Optionally, the foam feeding device further includes a plurality of legs 10, wherein the plurality of legs 10 are divided into two groups, wherein one group of the plurality of legs 10 is installed at intervals along the circumference of the first frame 1 on the bottom wall of the first frame 1, and the other group of the plurality of legs 10 is installed at intervals along the circumference of the second frame 5 on the bottom wall of the second frame 5. Specifically, the legs 10 are retractable legs 10, capable of adjusting the height of the first frame 1 and the second frame 5.
