Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation mechanism technology, and in particular to a rotary feeding bin mechanism. [Background Technology]

[0002] During the forming process, when feeding the sheet material, the equipment must wait until all the stacked products are removed before returning to the initial position. Then, the staff will stack the products in the corresponding positions and finally start the equipment. As a result, the equipment will stop working when the staff puts products in, leading to low sheet production efficiency.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a rotary feeding hopper mechanism to solve the above problems. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that during the sheet material feeding process, the equipment must wait until all stacked products are removed before returning to its initial position. Workers then stack the products in the appropriate locations before starting the equipment. This process results in the equipment stopping while workers are placing products, leading to low sheet material production efficiency. Therefore, this invention provides a rotary feeding hopper mechanism to solve the above problem.

[0005] The solution to the technical problem of this invention is: a rotary feeding hopper mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The base plate is used to fix and support the operation of the entire mechanism;

[0007] The support frame is fixedly connected to the base plate and is used to fix and support the operation of the first driving component and the fixed frame.

[0008] The first driving component is fixedly connected to the support frame. The first moving end of the first driving component is fixedly connected to the fixed frame and is used to control the movement of the fixed frame. A second sensor is provided on one side of the first driving component. When the second sensor senses that there is a product in the material preparation bin, it cooperates with the first sensor to sense that there is no product in the material taking bin and gives a signal to the first driving component, so that the first moving end of the first driving component controls the rotation of the fixed frame to prevent the fixed frame from rotating when the material preparation bin is empty.

[0009] A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the first moving end of the first driving component. The fixed frame is provided with a material picking bin and at least one material preparation bin. The material picking bin and the material preparation bin are provided with a positioning groove and a guide rod. The positioning groove is conformed to the structure of the product and is used to place and fix the product. The positioning groove is provided with a clearance groove on the side of the positioning groove near the second moving end of the second driving component. The clearance groove is used to make way when the second moving end of the second driving component pushes the product to move. The guide rod is used to guide and position when the second moving end of the second driving component pushes the product to move.

[0010] The second driving component is fixedly connected to the base plate. The second moving end of the second driving component is located on one side of the feeding bin. When feeding, the second driving component controls the second moving end to push the product in the feeding bin, so that the product moves along the guide rod. The first sensing component controls the connection of the second driving component to control its feeding and resetting.

[0011] The first sensor is positioned in a manner that corresponds to the position of the material picking bin. After the first sensor detects that there is no product in the material picking bin, it sends signals to the first and second driving components, causing the first driving component to control the rotation of the material picking bin of the drive frame to one end closer to the second driving component. At the same time, the second driving component controls the return of the second moving end to its original position.

[0012] Preferably, the first driving component includes, but is not limited to, a rotary cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the first sensing element includes, but is not limited to, a through-beam photoelectric sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the second driving element includes, but is not limited to, a stepper motor.

[0015] Preferably, the second sensing element includes, but is not limited to, a proximity sensor.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that it provides a rotary feeding bin mechanism, which includes a material picking bin and at least one material preparation bin within a fixed frame, and a first driving member fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame. The first moving end of the first driving member is used to control the rotation of the fixed frame, thereby enabling continuous feeding of the material picking bin and the material preparation bin on the fixed frame. This mechanism allows the equipment to load and unload materials without stopping the machine, reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving the efficiency of automation.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention and their accompanying drawings.

[0022] This invention provides a rotary feeding hopper mechanism, comprising:

[0023] The base plate 110 is used to fix and support the operation of the entire mechanism;

[0024] The support frame 120 is fixedly connected to the base plate 110 and is used to fix and support the operation of the first driving member 130 and the fixed frame 140.

[0025] The first driving component 130 is fixedly connected to the support frame 120. The first moving end 131 of the first driving component 130 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 140 and is used to control the movement of the fixed frame 140. A second sensor 132 is provided on one side of the first driving component 130. When the second sensor 132 senses that there is product 100 in the material preparation bin 145, it cooperates with the first sensor 160 to sense that there is no product 100 in the material dispensing bin 144 and gives a signal to the first driving component 130, so that the first moving end 131 of the first driving component 130 controls the rotation of the fixed frame 140 to prevent the fixed frame 140 from rotating when the material preparation bin 145 is empty.

[0026] A fixed frame 140 is fixedly connected to the first moving end 131 of the first driving member 130. The fixed frame 140 is provided with a material picking bin 144 and at least one material preparation bin 145. The material picking bin 144 and the material preparation bin 145 are provided with a positioning groove 141 and a guide rod 142. The positioning groove 141 is contoured to the structure of the product 100 and is used to place and fix the product 100. The positioning groove 141 is provided with a clearance groove 143 on the side near the second moving end 151 of the second driving member 150. The clearance groove 143 is used to make way when the second moving end 151 of the second driving member 150 pushes the product 100 to move. The guide rod 142 is used to guide and position the product 100 when the second moving end 151 of the second driving member 150 pushes the product 100 to move. In this embodiment, three sets of guide rods 142 are provided at both ends of the positioning groove 141 to stably guide the product 100 in the positioning groove 141.

[0027] The second driving component 150 is fixedly connected to the base plate 110. The second moving end 151 of the second driving component 150 is located on one side of the feeding bin 144. When feeding, the second driving component 150 controls the second moving end 151 to push the product 100 in the feeding bin 144, so that the product 100 moves along the guide rod 142. The first sensor 160 is connected to the second driving component 150 to control its feeding and resetting.

[0028] The first sensor 160 is positioned corresponding to the position of the material picking bin 144. In this embodiment, the first sensor 160 is located at both ends of the second drive member 150 near the product 100. After the first sensor 160 senses that there is no product 100 in the material picking bin 144, it sends signals to the first drive member 130 and the second drive member 150, so that the first drive member 130 controls the material preparation bin 145 of the drive frame 140 to rotate to the end near the second drive member 150, while the second drive member 150 controls the second moving end 151 to return to its original position.

[0029] The first driving component 130 includes, but is not limited to, a rotary cylinder.

[0030] The first sensing element 160 includes, but is not limited to, a through-beam photoelectric sensor.

[0031] The second driving component 150 includes, but is not limited to, a stepper motor.

[0032] The second sensing element 132 includes, but is not limited to, a proximity sensor.

[0033] The working process of this invention is as follows: After the product in the material picking bin 144 of the fixed frame 140 is picked up by the robot (not shown in the figure) under the action of the second moving end 151 of the second drive member 150, the first sensor 160 gives signals to the second drive member 150 and the first drive member 130, so that the second drive member 150 controls the drive to reset the second moving end 151. At the same time, the first drive member 130 controls the drive to rotate the material storage bin 145 of the fixed frame 140 to one end close to the second drive member 150. After the first sensor 160 senses that there is material, it controls the second moving end 151 of the second drive member 150 to start feeding. The robot (not shown in the figure) picks up material without stopping under the action of the second moving end 151 of the second drive member 150.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that, through a rotary feeding bin mechanism, a material picking bin 144 and at least one material preparation bin 145 are provided in a fixed frame 140, and a first driving member 130 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 140. The first moving end 131 of the first driving member 130 is used to control the rotation of the fixed frame 140. In this way, the material picking bin 144 and the material preparation bin 145 on the fixed frame 140 can be continuously fed. This mechanism allows the equipment to load and unload materials without stopping the machine, reduces the intensity of manual operation, and improves the efficiency of automation.

[0035] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments based on the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
