Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic production equipment, in particular to a whole line material arranging machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] On the automatic production line, the material is often in a scattered arrangement state after output from the upstream process, and needs to be arranged before entering the downstream process. In order to meet this demand, various automatic material arranging devices have been developed in the prior art, for example, a material arranging mechanism based on the overall movement of a material arranging disc (or tray). This method usually fixes a material arranging disc with array type grooves on a movable platform, and drives the platform to move forward and backward, left and right, or multiple degrees of freedom, so that the material slides, rolls and gradually adjusts its posture in the disc under the joint action of inertial force and gravity, and finally falls into the matching groove. This method has the problems of long material arranging period and low production efficiency. For complex material forms, the success rate and consistency of whole line are difficult to guarantee, and the grooves are often not fully filled or the material posture is irregular. In addition, the structure of the device is usually complex, and the floor space is large, which increases the layout cost of the production line. There are also technical solutions in the prior art that integrate material arranging functions in the horizontal conveying line, which use passive combing mechanisms such as scrapers, roller brushes or air jet nozzles to comb and orient the material on the material carrying plate. However, this passive contact combing method has single and uncontrollable force, and limited posture adjustment capability for the material. In order to improve the effect, some devices install a vibration motor below the conveying line to promote the material to return to its original position by overall vibration. However, this overall vibration method has low energy transmission efficiency, is easy to cause machine frame resonance, affects the overall stability of the device, and the vibration is difficult to control accurately, which may cause the material to be dislocated or jump out.

[0048] The driving device is configured to drive the conveying assemblies 4 to move intermittently, and the length of the horizontal section along the conveying direction is equal to the distance of each intermittent movement. When the device is in operation, a group of the loading plates 42 located in the horizontal section receives the vibration arrangement 5 for vibration arrangement during the pause period, and then the external material taking mechanism performs the material taking operation. After the material taking operation is completed, the driving device is started to drive all the conveying assemblies 4 to move by one step, so that the next group of the loading plates 42 located in the adjacent horizontal section enters the horizontal section to repeat the above process, so as to realize the continuous and automatic production.

[0049] The working process of the present application is as follows: the material is distributed from the material bin 21 to the loading plate 42 through the material distribution wheel 22, and then enters the inclined ascending section with the conveying assembly 4. In this section, the swing arrangement mechanism 6 drives the loading plate 42 to swing back and forth through the cooperation of the swing groove plate 63 and the swing block 427, so that the material is preliminarily filled into the mold groove 422. The material that is not filled into the groove is scraped off by the scraping mechanism 3. After the loading plate 42 enters the horizontal section, it is paused, the top rod 55 of the vibration mechanism 5 abuts against the loading plate 42 and vibrates, so that the material is completely settled in the mold groove 422. After the external material taking mechanism takes away the neatly arranged material, the loading plate 42 continues to move to the overturning return section, and finally returns to the starting position to start the next working cycle.

[0050] The above is only an example and description of the structure of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace, as long as the modifications or supplements do not deviate from the structure of the present application or exceed the scope defined by the present application, and should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
