DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] See Figures 1-4As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: an automatic feeding device for stacked materials, characterized by: comprising an inclined conveyor platform 1, a group of conveyor chains 5 arranged on both sides of the conveyor platform 1, a driving assembly 2 arranged on the inclined end side of the conveyor platform 1 for driving the conveyor chains 5 to operate, and a group of guide side plates 4 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor platform 1 for its guidance function;

[0022] A turning roller 3 is provided above the inclined end of the conveying platform 1, and the turning roller 3 is connected to the conventional conveying line in the previous sequence. The end of the conveying platform 1 away from the turning roller 3 is connected to the feed end of the subsequent processing equipment. A push plate 6 inclined forward and downward is provided in front of the turning roller 3, and a buffer component 7 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the conveying platform 1.

[0023] The end of the turning roller 3 of the conveying platform 1 is the feeding end, that is, the front end, and the other end of the conveying platform 1 is the feeding end, that is, the tail end.

[0024] The buffer component 7 can achieve buffering effects for various material feeding scenarios by adjusting the corresponding spring specifications.

[0025] A conveying platform bracket 8 is provided on the downwardly inclined end side of the conveying platform 1 , and the downwardly inclined end of the conveying platform 1 is hinged to the conveying platform bracket 8 .

[0026] Among them, the driving assembly 2 includes a driving motor 21, a reducer 22 installed in the middle of the conveyor platform bracket 8, a group of first sprockets 23 symmetrically installed on the upper end of the conveyor platform bracket 8 on both sides of the reducer 22, and a group of second sprockets 24 symmetrically installed on the end of the conveyor platform 1 on the opposite side of the group of first sprockets 23. The output end of the driving motor 21 is transmission-connected to the input end of the reducer 22, and the output end of the reducer 22 is transmission-connected to the first sprocket 23. The conveying chain 5 is correspondingly sleeved on the first sprocket 23 and the second sprocket 24 on the same side.

[0027] The reducer 22 is a dual-axis reducer, and two output ends of the reducer 22 extend to both sides and are fixedly connected to the first sprocket 23 .

[0028] Wherein, the side wall of the guide side plate 4 is fixedly connected with a guide plate bracket 41 .

[0029] Wherein, a photoelectric sensor 9 is provided on the guide side plate 4 .

[0030] The turning roller 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the conveying platform 1 through a roller bracket 31 , and the push plate 6 is connected to the roller brackets 31 on both sides in front of the turning roller 3 .

[0031] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the flip roller at the front end of the conveyor platform is docked with the conventional conveyor line. When the flip roller is used, the material in the upper and lower stacked state passes through the flip roller, it flips downward due to the movement of the center of gravity, and then rests on the push plate. The material becomes a front and back layered state and is placed obliquely on the conveyor chain; the drive assembly serves as the drive structure, and drives the sprocket to rotate through the drive motor and the reducer, thereby driving the conveyor chain to run. The conveyor chain drives the material to run to the tail of the conveyor platform. The front end material is pushed by the gravity of the conveyor chain and the rear end material. After the front end material breaks away from the bottom support of the chain, it falls by its own weight. Enter the next stage of processing equipment; a guide side plate is provided, and when the front conveying equipment receives the material, the guide side plate is used to guide the material to prevent the material from falling off the conveyor table laterally during the flipping process. The guide side plate is also equipped with a photoelectric sensor. In the ordinary uniform feeding scenario, the guide side plate can directly judge the material status on the conveyor table and automatically perform the feeding action; a buffer component is provided. To ensure the material flipping posture, the push plate needs a large area to support the material, and the flip roller is set much higher than the conveyor chain. Therefore, the material will fall for a period of time after flipping. In order to prevent the falling action from impacting the equipment, a buffer component is used for buffering;

[0032] The slow batch feeding of stacked materials can be completed in a small space. The front end of the feed can be directly connected to the conventional conveyor line. The action process is completed in a single section. The action is simple and continuous with the conveyor, which has little impact on the feeding rhythm. The feeding action and speed can be easily adjusted and controlled by electrical drive.
