Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an intelligent feeding system, and more specifically, to an intelligent feeding system capable of rapidly and accurately classifying and providing components through automated processes. Background Technology

[0002] With the mass production of products and the widespread adoption of automation, the process of executing a product usually involves manufacturing multiple products continuously, rather than manufacturing a single product.

[0003] As part of mass production and automation solutions, smart factories exist. Smart factories minimize human intervention in product design, development, and manufacturing processes to improve speed and accuracy. In particular, smart factories can be used to manufacture industrial products comprising a wide variety of components.

[0004] Furthermore, as we move away from the era of mass production with few varieties and into the era of small-batch production with many varieties, the number of continuously manufactured products with different specifications is gradually increasing. That is, products belonging to the same product series are manufactured using different specifications to enable them to be used in different environments.

[0005] As mentioned above, in order to continuously produce products with different specifications, one could consider grouping multiple products by specifications, producing one group of products with the same specifications, and then producing another group of products with different specifications. However, in a real-world manufacturing environment, grouping all products with the same specifications is extremely difficult.

[0006] Furthermore, even if similar products are successfully grouped, starting production of products with different specifications after all products with the same specifications has been completed is not the optimal approach in terms of production efficiency.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a solution that allows for easy modification of dissimilar components or products while providing continuous and automated supply. Furthermore, there is a need for a solution that achieves the above objectives while reducing the size of the equipment itself, thereby reducing the overall space required for the smart factory.

[0008] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0058784 discloses an intelligent automobile factory system. Specifically, it discloses an intelligent automobile factory system based on the movement of an autonomous driving robot, which can obtain various components of a car through the autonomous driving robot.

[0009] However, in the automotive smart factories described in the aforementioned existing literature, the final product is a large-volume automobile. Therefore, the production lines supplying these products also have to be enormous. Consequently, in order to supply components to the automobiles moving along the production line, autonomously mounted robots that can move freely are necessary.

[0010] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-029563 discloses a tray component supply device. Specifically, it discloses a tray component supply device capable of automatically changing a magazine that holds a plurality of trays.

[0011] However, the existing material tray component supply devices disclosed in the aforementioned literature require an additional shuttle mechanism for removing the material tray. Furthermore, the aforementioned existing literature also requires additional components for the lifting shuttle mechanism. In other words, the aforementioned existing literature fails to provide a solution for simply forming a structure that automatically performs material tray replacement.

[0085] Therefore, the intelligent feeding system 10 includes: a configuration for moving the provided component to a position that can be recognized by a component recognition device (not shown) (i.e., the main frame 100 described later); another configuration for applying vibration to the moved component so that it can be easily recognized and grasped (i.e., the vibration application unit 200 described later); and yet another configuration for providing components provided from the outside to said configuration (i.e., the component supply unit 300 described later).

[0086] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the intelligent feeding system 10 includes a main frame 100, a vibration application unit 200, and a component supply unit 300.

[0087] The main frame 100 forms part of the exterior of the intelligent feeding system 10. The main frame 100 houses and supports other components of the intelligent feeding system 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the main frame 100 houses the vibration application unit 200, which is combined with and supports the component supply unit 300.

[0088] The main frame 100 is electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown). The power and control signals required for the operation of the main frame 100 can be received from the external power source (not shown) and the control unit (not shown).

[0089] The main frame 100 can be arranged adjacent to an external component identification device (not shown) and a component picking device (not shown). Components supplied to the main frame 100 can be identified by the component identification device (not shown), picked up by the component picking device (not shown), and provided to the outside.

[0090] The main frame 100 can be combined with the vibration application section 200 and the component supply section 300 to support them, and can provide components to the outside in any shape. In the illustrated embodiment, the main frame 100 is a polygonal column shape having a length in the front-to-back direction, a width in the left-to-right direction, and a height in the up-down direction.

[0091] exist Figures 5 to 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the main frame 100 includes a cover 110, a conveyor belt 120, a partition wall 130, a component receiving space 140, a guide member 150, a vibrating plate 160, a power application part 170, and a power transmission part 180.

[0092] The cover 110 forms the exterior of the main frame 100. The cover 110 is integrated with other components of the main frame 100 to support them. The interior of the cover 110 may have a space to accommodate some components of the main frame 100 and the vibration application part 200. A component supply part 300 may be integrated on one side of the cover 110 in the height direction.

[0093] The cover 110 may be a shape corresponding to the shape of the main frame 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 110 is a polygonal column shape having a length in the front-to-back direction, a height in the vertical direction, and a width in the left-to-right direction.

[0094] The cover 110 is coupled to the conveyor belt 120. The cover 110 supports the conveyor belt 120, enabling it to move. The cover 110 is coupled to the partition wall 130 to support them. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper side of the cover 110 is coupled to the partition wall 130.

[0095] The cover 110 partially surrounds the component receiving space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 110 surrounds one side of the component receiving space 140 in the height direction, i.e., the lower side.

[0096] The cover 110 is combined with the guide member 150. Specifically, the cover 110 is positioned opposite the guide member 150 across the first partition wall 131.

[0097] The cover 110 is combined with the vibrating plate 160. The vibrating plate 160 may be provided on one side of the cover 110 in the height direction, that is, on a part of the upper side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0098] The cover portion 110 is coupled to the power application portion 170. In the illustrated embodiment, the power application portion 170 is located on the rear side of the cover portion 110. In one embodiment, the power application portion 170 may be configured to protrude outward from the cover portion 110.

[0099] The cover 110 is combined with the power transmission part 180. The cover 110 can accommodate the power transmission part 180 and support the power transmission part 180 so that it can rotate.

[0100] The conveyor belt 120 moves the components that are transferred to the main frame 100. The conveyor belt 120 can move along the length of the main frame 100, i.e., the front-to-back direction in the illustrated embodiment.

[0101] The conveyor belt 120 is movably coupled to the cover 110. The conveyor belt 120 is supported by a power transmission unit 180 movably housed inside the cover 110, enabling it to move.

[0102] A portion of the conveyor belt 120 protrudes outward from the cover 110. This portion partially surrounds the component receiving space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the conveyor belt 120 surrounds the component receiving space 140 from below. Components placed on the conveyor belt 120 can move towards the component receiving space 140 via the conveyor belt 120.

[0103] Another portion of the conveyor belt 120 is movably housed inside the cover 110. This other portion is supported by the power transmission unit 180 and is movable.

[0104] The conveyor belt 120 can be configured in any shape to support and move components supplied from the component supply unit 300. In the illustrated embodiment, one portion of the conveyor belt 120 is formed to have a width in the left-right direction and a length in the front-back direction. Additionally, the other portion of the conveyor belt 120 extends and forms at least one bend due to the power transmission unit 180.

[0105] The conveyor belt 120 may be formed of a material with a specified frictional force. This is to provide movable support for the power transmission unit 180 and to prevent arbitrary movement of the placed components. In one embodiment, the conveyor belt 120 may be formed of a rubber or silicone material.

[0106] At least a portion of the conveyor belt 120 is configured to cover a vibrating plate 160. Vibrations applied to the vibrating plate 160 can be transmitted to components placed on the conveyor belt 120. As a result, the components vibrate and adjust their setting state so that a component identification device (not shown) can accurately identify the components.

[0107] For this purpose, the conveyor belt 120 can be configured to contact at least a portion of the vibrating plate 160.

[0108] The conveyor belt 120 is movably supported on the power transmission unit 180. If a portion of the power transmission unit 180 rotates under the action of the power application unit 170, the conveyor belt 120 can move using the rotational force. In the illustrated embodiment, the conveyor belt 120 is movably supported at multiple positions by a plurality of conveyor roller members 181.

[0109] The partition wall 130 partially surrounds the component receiving space 140. The component received in the component receiving space 140 will not arbitrarily detach from the outside under the action of the partition wall 130.

[0110] The partition wall portion 130 is engaged with the cover portion 110. The partition wall portion 130 can be supported by the cover portion 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the partition wall portion 130 is engaged with the cover portion 110 in its width direction (left and right sides) and front side.

[0111] The partition wall 130 is disposed adjacent to the conveyor belt 120. The partition wall 130 may surround each side of the conveyor belt 120 in the width direction, i.e., the left and right sides in the illustrated embodiment. In addition, the partition wall 130 may surround one side of the conveyor belt 120 in the extension direction, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0112] In the illustrated embodiment, the partition wall portion 130 includes a first partition wall 131 and a second partition wall 132.

[0113] The first partition wall 131 forms part of the partition wall portion 130. The first partition wall 131 can be combined with the cover portion 110 and can surround the conveyor belt 120 and the component receiving space 140 in the width direction. A plurality of first partition walls 131 can be provided.

[0114] In the illustrated embodiment, the first partition walls 131 are configured as a pair, respectively disposed on the left inner surface and the right inner surface of the cover 110. The pair of first partition walls 131 are separated along the width direction of the main frame 100, i.e., the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment, and are disposed opposite to each other across the conveyor belt 120 and the component receiving space 140.

[0115] The first partition wall 131 extends along the moving direction of the conveyor belt 120, i.e., the front-to-back direction in the illustrated embodiment. One side of the extension direction of the first partition wall 131, i.e., the front end in the illustrated embodiment, is continuous with the second partition wall 132. The other side of the extension direction of the first partition wall 131, i.e., the rear end in the illustrated embodiment, is continuous with the connecting frame 310 of the component supply section 300.

[0116] That is, through the first partition wall 131, the components contained in the component receiving space 140 will not arbitrarily detach along the width direction of the main frame 100, i.e., to the left or right.

[0117] The second partition wall 132 forms another part of the partition wall portion 130. The second partition wall 132 is combined with the cover portion 110 and surrounds the conveyor belt 120 and the component receiving space 140 in the longitudinal direction.

[0118] In the illustrated embodiment, the second partition wall 132 extends between the left and right inner surfaces of the cover 110. The second partition wall 132 is located on one side of the extension direction of the conveyor belt 120, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment. The second partition wall 132 may be continuous with each of the pair of first partition walls 131 to enclose the front side of the component receiving space 140.

[0119] The component receiving space 140 receives components supplied from the component supply unit 300. The components received in the component receiving space 140 can be identified by a component identification device (not shown) and picked up by a component picking device (not shown) and provided to the outside.

[0120] The component receiving space 140 can be defined as the space surrounded by the conveyor belt 120 and the partition wall 130. In the illustrated embodiment, each side of the component receiving space 140 in the width direction, i.e., the left and right sides of the illustrated embodiment, is surrounded by the first partition wall 131. One side of the component receiving space 140 in the length direction, i.e., the front side of the illustrated embodiment, is surrounded by the second partition wall 132. The other side of the component receiving space 140 in the length direction, i.e., the rear side of the illustrated embodiment, is surrounded by the connecting frame 310 of the component supply section 300.

[0121] Furthermore, one side of the component receiving space 140 in the height direction, i.e., the lower side of the illustrated embodiment, is surrounded by the conveyor belt 120. The other side of the component receiving space 140 in the height direction, i.e., the upper side of the illustrated embodiment, is open.

[0122] The guide member 150 guides the components placed on the conveyor belt 120 toward the inside in the width direction. Because of the guide member 150, the components are not dispersed to the outside in the width direction of the conveyor belt 120, but can be concentrated on the inside.

[0123] The guide member 150 is engaged with the cover portion 110. Specifically, the guide member 150 is engaged with the cover portion 110 via a first partition wall 131. The guide member 150 is positioned opposite the cover portion 110 along the width direction of the main frame 100, i.e., the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment, across the first partition wall 131.

[0124] The guide member 150 may be configured adjacent to the component supply section 300. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide member 150 is disposed on the rear side opposite to the second partition wall 132.

[0125] The guide member 150 may have a shape corresponding to the first partition wall 131. In this case, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide member 150 may vary along its length. In other words, the side of the guide member 150 facing the component receiving space 140 may extend obliquely along its length.

[0126] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide member 150 extends in the front-rear direction. In this case, the front portion of the guide member 150 is configured such that its cross-sectional area increases as it approaches the rear. That is, the inner surface of the front portion of the guide member 150 extends inwardly in the width direction as it approaches the rear.

[0127] Therefore, when the conveyor belt 120 moves to the rearward side, the component that is positioned on the outer side of the conveyor belt 120 in the width direction can be moved inward by the guide member 150 in the width direction.

[0128] A plurality of guide members 150 may be provided. The plurality of guide members 150 may be spaced apart from each other to guide rearward-moving components toward the inner side in the width direction at different positions relative to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide members 150 may be provided as a pair, spaced apart along the width direction of the main frame 100, i.e., in the left-right direction. The pair of guide members 150 are arranged opposite each other across the component receiving space 140.

[0129] The vibrating plate 160 transmits vibration to the components placed on the conveyor belt 120 and arranged in the component receiving space 140. The vibration transmitted by the vibrating plate 160 can change the setting state of the components placed on the conveyor belt 120. Thus, as described above, the component identification device (not shown) can accurately identify the components.

[0130] The vibrating plate 160 is formed as part of the upper side of the cover 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibrating plate 160 is located between the second partition wall 132 and the guide member 150, and is disposed biased towards the front side of the conveyor belt 120.

[0131] The vibrating plate 160 can be located under the conveyor belt 120. In other words, the vibrating plate 160 can be configured to be covered by the conveyor belt 120. Therefore, even with the vibrating plate 160 installed, the conveyor belt 120 and the components placed on the conveyor belt 120 can move smoothly.

[0132] The vibrating plate 160 can be formed in any shape to transmit the vibration generated by the vibration application unit 200 to the conveyor belt 120. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibrating plate 160 is formed with a quadrilateral cross-section and a thickness in the vertical direction. One side of the vibrating plate 160 in the thickness direction can contact the lower side of the conveyor belt 120. The other side of the vibrating plate 160 in the thickness direction can contact the vibration transmission plate 220 of the vibration application unit 200.

[0133] The power application unit 170 provides power for moving the conveyor belt 120. The power application unit 170 can be electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown) to receive the power and control signals required for operation.

[0134] The power application part 170 is coupled to the cover part 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the power application part 170 is coupled to the rear left side of the cover part 110.

[0135] The power application unit 170 is combined with the power transmission unit 180. The power applied to the power application unit 170 can be transmitted to the power transmission unit 180.

[0136] In the illustrated embodiment, the power application unit 170 includes a motor component 171 and a belt component 172.

[0137] The motor component 171 generates the power. The motor component 171 can be electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown) to receive the power and control signals required for operation.

[0138] Motor component 171 is connected to power transmission unit 180. Specifically, motor component 171 is connected to any one of a plurality of conveyor roller components 181 via belt component 172. The power generated by motor component 171 is transmitted to conveyor roller components 181 via belt component 172. In one embodiment, motor component 171 may be a servo motor.

[0139] The belt member 172 connects the motor member 171 and the conveyor roller member 181. The belt member 172 can rotate in the same configuration as the motor member 171 and the conveyor roller member 181.

[0140] The belt member 172 can connect any one or more of the plurality of conveyor roller members 181 to the motor member 171. In the illustrated embodiment, the belt member 172 connects any one of the conveyor roller members 181 located on the rear upper side to the motor member 171. In this embodiment, the belt member 172 extends in a vertical direction.

[0141] The belt member 172 may be formed of a material having a specified frictional force. This is to prevent any one or more of the belt member 172, the conveyor roller member 181, and the motor member 171 from idling. In one embodiment, the belt member 172 may be formed of rubber or silicone.

[0142] The power transmission unit 180 transmits the power generated by the power application unit 170 to the conveyor belt 120. In addition, the power transmission unit 180 movably supports the conveyor belt 120.

[0143] The power transmission section 180 is coupled to the cover section 110. Specifically, the power transmission section 180 is rotatably coupled to the cover section 110 and accommodated within the space formed inside the cover section 110. The power transmission section 180 does not protrude to the outside of the cover section 110.

[0144] The power transmission unit 180 is combined with the conveyor belt 120. The power transmission unit 180 can movably support the conveyor belt 120 in a plurality of positions.

[0145] In the illustrated embodiment, the power transmission unit 180 includes a conveyor roller member 181 and a pressure roller member 182.

[0146] The conveyor roller assembly 181 movably supports the conveyor belt 120. The conveyor roller assembly 181 is rotatably coupled to the cover portion 110.

[0147] A plurality of conveyor roller members 181 may be provided. The plurality of conveyor roller members 181 are spaced apart to movably support the conveyor belt 120 at different positions. At this time, any one or more of the plurality of conveyor roller members 181 can be coupled to the power application unit 170 to receive the generated power.

[0148] In the illustrated embodiment, a total of four conveyor roller components 181 are provided. The four conveyor roller components 181 are arranged spaced apart along the length and height directions of the main frame 100, i.e., the front-to-back direction and the vertical direction. At this time, any one of the conveyor roller components 181 located on the upper rear side is connected to the motor component 171 through the belt component 172.

[0149] Each of the conveyor roller components 181 rotates due to the generated power. Through this rotation, the conveyor belt 120 moves, and the other conveyor roller components 181 rotate due to the movement of the conveyor belt 120, movably supporting the conveyor belt 120.

[0150] The pressure roller component 182 is configured to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 120. The pressure roller component 182 is rotatably coupled to the cover portion 110. At this time, the pressure roller component 182 can be coupled to the cover portion 110 in a manner that allows it to move in the direction of pressing the conveyor belt 120 and in the opposite direction.

[0151] In the illustrated embodiment, the pressure roller member 182 is located rearward and between a pair of conveyor roller members 181 located rearward in the height direction. The pressure roller member 182 is located on the rear side of the conveyor belt 120 and is coupled to the cover portion 110 in a manner that allows it to move in the front-rear direction.

[0152] In the described embodiment, if the pressure roller member 182 moves forward, the conveyor belt 120 is relatively pressurized more, thereby increasing the tension of the conveyor belt 120. Conversely, if the pressure roller member 182 moves rearward, the conveyor belt 120 is relatively pressed less, thereby reducing the tension of the conveyor belt 120.

[0153] Therefore, even if the intelligent feeding system 10 continues to operate, the conveyor belt 120 can maintain a preset tension.

[0154] At this time, in order to facilitate operation of the pressure roller component 182, at least a portion of the pressure roller component 182 may be exposed to the outside of the cover portion 110. In one embodiment, the pressure roller component 182 may be exposed to one side of the main frame 100 in the width direction, i.e., the left side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0155] The vibration application unit 200 applies vibration to the components placed on the conveyor belt 120. The vibration applied by the vibration application unit 200 can change the setting state of the components placed on the conveyor belt 120. As such, as described above, the external component identification device (not shown) can accurately identify the components, and the component picking device (not shown) can easily pick up the components.

[0156] The vibration application part 200 is integrated with the main frame 100. Specifically, the vibration application part 200 is housed within the space formed inside the cover part 110 and is not exposed to the outside. The vibration application part 200 is disposed adjacent to the vibrating plate 160 located below the conveyor belt 120.

[0157] In one embodiment, the vibration application part 200 may contact the vibrating plate 160 to transmit the generated vibration to the vibrating plate 160 and the conveyor belt 120 disposed adjacent to it.

[0158] The vibration application unit 200 is electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown). The power and control signals required for the operation of the vibration application unit 200 can be received from the external power source (not shown) and the control unit (not shown).

[0159] The vibration application part 200 can be configured at a position corresponding to the position of the vibrating plate 160. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibration application part 200 is located on the front side of the interior space of the cover 110 and on the lower side of the vibrating plate 160, which is also located on the front side.

[0160] exist Figures 9 to 11 In one embodiment, the vibration application unit 200 includes a base plate 210, a vibration transmission plate 220, a cover plate 230, a lifting guide member 240, a side plate 250, and a vibration generation unit 260.

[0161] The base plate 210 forms part of the vibration application part 200. The base plate 210 is the part of the vibration application part 200 that is supported by the cover part 110. The base plate 210 forms one side of the vibration application part 200 in the height direction, that is, the lower side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0162] The base plate 210 is combined with and supports the other components of the vibration application part 200. In the illustrated embodiment, the base plate 210 is combined with the lifting guide member 240, the side plate 250 and the vibration generating part 260, and supports them from below.

[0163] The base plate 210 can be any shape that is supported by the cover portion 110 and capable of supporting the vibration application portion 200. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibration application portion 200 is formed as a polygonal plate with a quadrilateral cross-section and a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0164] A plurality of through holes may be formed inside the base plate 210. Some of the through holes may be fitted with other components of the vibration application part 200. Other through holes may be fitted with fastening members (not shown) for engagement with the cover part 110.

[0165] The vibration transmission plate 220 transmits the generated vibration to the vibrating plate 160 and the conveyor belt 120. The vibration transmission plate 220 is configured such that the vibration application part 200 contacts the vibrating plate 160.

[0166] The vibration transmission plate 220 forms the other side of the vibration application section 200 in the height direction, that is, the upper side in the illustrated embodiment. The vibration transmission plate 220 is arranged opposite to the base plate 210 in the vertical direction, separated from other components of the vibration application section 200.

[0167] The vibration transmission plate 220 is combined with the cover plate 230. The vibration transmission plate 220 covers the cover plate 230 and is combined with the cover plate 230. In other words, the vibration transmission plate 220 is stacked on the cover plate 230.

[0168] The vibration transmission plate 220 is combined with the vibration generating part 260. The vibration transmission plate 220 swings a predetermined distance along the height direction of the vibration applying part 200, i.e., the up-down direction in the illustrated embodiment, due to the vibration applied by the vibration generating part 260.

[0169] The vibration transmission plate 220 is combined with the lifting guide member 240. The vibration transmission plate 220, which moves in the vertical direction, will not move arbitrarily in the horizontal direction under the action of the lifting guide member 240.

[0170] The vibration transmission plate 220 can be of any shape capable of transmitting the vibration generated by the vibration generating unit 260 to the vibration plate 160. In the illustrated embodiment, the vibration transmission plate 220 is configured as a rectangular plate with a quadrilateral cross-section and a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0171] The cover plate 230 is combined with the vibration transmission plate 220 and the lifting guide member 240.

[0172] The cover plate 230 is combined with the side plate 250. The vibration generated by the vibration generating part 260 can be transmitted to the cover plate 230 through the side plate 250.

[0173] The cover plate 230 is connected to the vibration generating part 260. The vibration generated by the vibration generating part 260 is transmitted to the cover plate 230, so that the vibration transmission plate 220 connected to it can also swing.

[0174] That is, the vibration generated by the vibration generating part 260 can be directly transmitted to the cover plate 230, or indirectly transmitted through the side plate 250.

[0175] The cover plate 230 can be of any shape that can be combined with the vibration transmission plate 220, the lifting guide member 240, the side plate 250, and the vibration generating part 260. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover plate 230 is formed as a polygonal plate with a quadrilateral cross-section and a thickness in the vertical direction.

[0176] At this time, a groove (not labeled) may be recessed on one side of the cover plate 230 along its length, i.e., the left side in the illustrated embodiment. The groove may be arranged to overlap with the vibration generating part 260 in the vertical direction.

[0177] The lifting guide member 240 is combined with the base plate 210 and the cover plate 230 to guide the swing of the cover plate 230. As a result, the cover plate 230 and the vibration transmission plate 220 combined with it also swing in the vertical direction due to the transmitted vibration, but unnecessary swinging in the horizontal direction can be prevented.

[0178] As a result, the vibration generated by the vibration generating unit 260 can be completely converted into the up-and-down oscillation of the cover plate 230 and the vibration transmission plate 220.

[0179] The lifting guide member 240 is located between the base plate 210 and the cover plate 230. The lifting guide member 240 extends between the base plate 210 and the cover plate 230 and engages with them respectively.

[0180] The lifting guide member 240 can be configured in any shape to guide the swing of the vibration transmission plate 220 and the cover plate 230. In one embodiment, the lifting guide member 240 can be in the form of a linear motion guide. In the embodiment, the lifting guide member 240 may include a track extending in the vertical direction.

[0181] The side plate 250 at least partially surrounds the vibration generating part 260, receives the vibration generated by the vibration generating part 260, and transmits it to the cover plate 230. The side plate 250 is combined with the cover plate 230 and the vibration generating part 260.

[0182] In the illustrated embodiment, the side plate 250 covers the left side of the vibration generating part 260 and is combined with the left end of the cover plate 230.

[0183] The vibration generating unit 260 generates vibrations to be transmitted to the vibrating plate 160. The vibration generating unit 260 is electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown) to receive the power and control signals required for operation.

[0184] The vibration generating part 260 is combined with the base plate 210. The vibration generating part 260 is supported by the base plate 210.

[0185] The vibration generating part 260 is combined with the cover plate 230. The vibration generated by the vibration generating part 260 can be transmitted to the cover plate 230. The vibration generating part 260 can be located between the base plate 210 and the cover plate 230 in the vertical direction, that is, in the up-down direction.

[0186] The vibration generating part 260 is combined with the side plate 250. One side of the vibration generating part 260 can be covered by the side plate 250. In the illustrated embodiment, the left side of the vibration generating part 260 is covered by the side plate 250.

The vibration generating member 261 can be configured to generate vibration in any way by operating on the provided power and control signals.

[0189] In one embodiment, the vibration generating member 261 may be a voice coil motor. In this embodiment, the vibration generating member 261 may be configured to vibrate along its height direction, i.e., in the up-down direction, and the intensity or distance of the vibration can be easily adjusted by adjusting the vibration frequency.

[0190] A receiving cover 262 partially surrounds the vibration generating member 261. The receiving cover 262 at least partially houses the vibration generating member 261 to protect it. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving cover 262 surrounds the upper, left, front, and rear sides of the vibration generating member 261.

[0191] A support frame 263 partially surrounds the vibration-generating member 261. The support frame 263 is connected to both the base plate 210 and the receiving cover 262 to support the receiving cover 262 and the vibration-generating member 261 housed therein. In the illustrated embodiment, the support frame 263 is located on the left side of the receiving cover 262, surrounding the right side of the vibration-generating member 261.

[0192] Therefore, it can be understood that the lower side of the vibration generating component 261 is surrounded by the base plate 210, the right side is surrounded by the support frame 263, and the other parts are protected by the housing 262 and the side plate 250 connected thereto.

[0193] The component supply unit 300 is the part of the intelligent feeding system 10 that receives components from the outside. The component supply unit 300 may be formed with at least a portion open, thereby enabling it to receive components from the outside.

[0194] At this time, a single type of component can be supplied to the component supply unit 300. That is, the intelligent feeding system 10 of this embodiment can be used when the type of component provided is fixed or when the type of component to be provided does not change.

[0195] The component supply unit 300 is integrated with the main frame 100. The component supply unit 300 is located on one side of the cover 110 along its length, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment. The component supply unit 300 is located on the upper side of the cover 110. Components supplied to the component supply unit 300 fall onto the conveyor belt 120 through a process described later, and move together with the conveyor belt 120 toward the component receiving space 140.

[0196] exist Figures 12 to 15 In the illustrated embodiment, the component supply unit 300 includes a connecting frame 310, a moving member 320, a moving frame 330, and a ramp member 340.

[0197] The connecting frame 310 forms part of the appearance of the component supply unit 300. The connecting frame 310 is the part where the component supply unit 300 is connected to the main frame 100.

[0199] The connecting frame 310 surrounds at least a portion of the component receiving space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting frame 310 surrounds the component receiving space 140 from one side along its length, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0200] Therefore, the horizontal direction of the component receiving space 140 is closed by the partition wall 130 and the connecting frame 310. As a result, the component received in the component receiving space 140 will not arbitrarily detach in the horizontal direction.

[0201] The connecting frame 310 is combined with the movable member 320. The connecting frame 310 supports the movable member 320 from below. In the illustrated embodiment, the rear portion of the connecting frame 310 supports the movable member 320 from below.

[0207] Specifically, the component support plate 311 supports the first movable wall 331 and the second movable wall 332, enabling them to move in the front-to-back direction. At the same time, the component support plate 311 surrounds the component transfer space 333 from below.

[0208] If the first moving wall 331, the second moving wall 332, and the component transfer space 333 enclosed by them move forward, the lower side of the component transfer space 333 opens. As a result, the components contained in the component transfer space 333 fall onto the ramp member 340 and are transferred to the conveyor belt 120.

[0209] The component support plate 311 can be a shape corresponding to the shape of the movable frame 330, and in particular the component transfer space 333. In the illustrated embodiment, the component support plate 311 is formed as a rectangular plate with a length in the left-right direction greater than its width in the front-back direction and a height in the vertical direction.

[0210] The moving member 320 causes the moving frame 330 to move along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 120, i.e., the front-back direction in the illustrated embodiment. The moving member 320 opens or closes the lower side of the component transfer space 333, thereby enabling or blocking the transfer of components housed in the component transfer space 333 to the conveyor belt 120.

[0211] The movable member 320 is coupled to the connecting frame 310. The movable member 320 is supported by the connecting frame 310. In the illustrated embodiment, the movable member 320 is supported by the upper rear portion of the connecting frame 310.

[0228] The movable frame 330 accommodates components supplied from the outside. One side of the movable frame 330 in the height direction, i.e., the upper side in the illustrated embodiment, is open to allow components to be received from the outside. The other side of the movable frame 330 in the height direction, i.e., the lower side in the illustrated embodiment, can be selectively opened using the movable member 320. Components supplied to the movable frame 330 can be supplied to the conveyor belt 120 when said other side is open.

[0229] The movable frame 330 is supported by the combined frame 310. Specifically, the movable frame 330 is movably supported on the component support plate 311.

[0230] The movable frame 330 is combined with the movable component 320. Specifically, the movable frame 330 can be combined with the pressure plate 323 and move along the moving direction of the conveyor belt 120, that is, the front-back direction in the illustrated embodiment.

Specifically, the movable frame 330, which is opened on the other side, can be positioned above the ramp member 340 by moving the movable member 320. Components provided to the movable frame 330 can fall onto the ramp member 340 through the other side.

[0232] In the illustrated embodiment, the movable frame 330 includes a first movable wall 331, a second movable wall 332, and a component transfer space 333.

[0233] The first movable wall 331 forms part of the movable frame 330. The first movable wall 331 surrounds the component transfer space 333 in the horizontal direction. A plurality of first movable walls 331 may be provided, surrounding the component transfer space 333 from a plurality of positions.

[0234] In the illustrated embodiment, the first movable walls 331 are configured as a pair, surrounding the component transfer space 333 on the left and right sides along the length of the movable frame 330.

[0235] The first movable wall 331 can be any shape that can form the movable frame 330 along its length. In the illustrated embodiment, the first movable wall 331 is formed as a polygonal plate having a length in the front-back direction, a height in the vertical direction, and a thickness in the left-right direction.

[0236] The first movable wall 331 is continuous with the second movable wall 332. Each side of the first movable wall 331 along its length, i.e., the front and rear sides in the illustrated embodiment, is continuous with the second movable wall 332. The first movable wall 331 is movably supported on the component support plate 311.

[0237] The second movable wall 332 constitutes another part of the movable frame 330. The second movable wall 332 surrounds the component transfer space 333 in the horizontal direction. A plurality of second movable walls 332 may be provided, surrounding the component transfer space 333 from a plurality of positions.

[0238] In the illustrated embodiment, the second movable walls 332 are configured as a pair, surrounding the component transfer space 333 in the width direction of the movable frame 330, i.e., the front side and the rear side.

[0239] The second movable wall 332 can be any shape that can form the width direction of the movable frame 330. In the illustrated embodiment, the second movable wall 332 is formed as a polygonal plate having a length in the left-right direction, a height in the up-down direction, and a thickness in the front-back direction.

[0240] The second movable wall 332 is continuous with the first movable wall 331. Each side of the second movable wall 332 along its length, i.e., the left and right sides in the illustrated embodiment, is continuous with the first movable wall 331. The second movable wall 332 is movably supported on the component support plate 311.

[0241] The second movable wall 332 is combined with the pressure plate 323. In the illustrated embodiment, either of the two second movable walls 332 located on the rear side is combined with the pressure plate 323.

[0242] The space surrounded by the first moving wall 331 and the second moving wall 332 can be defined as the component transfer space 333.

[0243] The component transfer space 333 is the space where the intelligent feeding system 10 receives components from the outside. The component transfer space 333 can always be connected to the outside and receive components at any time. The component transfer space 333 can accommodate the received components.

[0244] The component transfer space 333 can be moved using the movable member 320 and selectively communicates with the component receiving space 140. If the component transfer space 333 moves and its lower side is opened, the contained product can move into the component receiving space 140.

[0245] The component transfer space 333 is defined by a first movable wall 331 and a second movable wall 332. In the illustrated embodiment, the component transfer space 333 is surrounded by a pair of first movable walls 331 along its length, i.e., the left and right sides. The component transfer space 333 is surrounded by a pair of second movable walls 332 along its width, i.e., the front and rear sides.

[0246] One side of the component transfer space 333 in the height direction, i.e., the upper side in the illustrated embodiment, is open. The other side of the component transfer space 333 in the height direction, i.e., the lower side in the illustrated embodiment, is surrounded by the component support plate 311, but can be selectively opened by the movement of the movable frame 330.

[0247] At this time, when the moving frame 330 moves to open the other side of the component transfer space 333, the component transfer space 333 can be located on the upper side of the ramp member 340.

[0248] The component transfer space 333 can be a shape corresponding to the shape of the first movable wall 331, the second movable wall 332, or the component support plate 311. In the illustrated embodiment, the component transfer space 333 is formed as a polygonal column shape with a quadrilateral cross-section and a vertical height.

[0249] The ramp member 340 guides the parts falling from the part transfer space 333 to the conveyor belt 120. Because of the ramp member 340, parts falling from the part transfer space 333 will not fall directly onto the conveyor belt 120. This prevents parts from bouncing off the conveyor belt 120 after colliding with it.

[0250] The ramp member 340 is connected to the connecting frame 310. Specifically, the ramp member 340 is located on the upper front side of the connecting frame 310. The ramp member 340 is located on the lower side of the movable frame 330.

[0251] The ramp member 340 can be formed with a predetermined inclination. In one embodiment, the ramp member 340 can form an acute angle with respect to the conveyor belt 120 and extend there. In this case, one end of the ramp member 340 in the direction of extension, i.e., the rear upper end in the illustrated embodiment, can be coupled to the connecting frame 310. The other end of the ramp member 340 in the direction of extension, i.e., the front lower end in the illustrated embodiment, can be located at a predetermined distance from the conveyor belt 120.

[0252] The ramp member 340 can be of any shape capable of preventing parts falling from the part transfer space 333 from directly colliding with the conveyor belt 120. In the illustrated embodiment, the ramp member 340 is formed as a plate and extends obliquely in the front-back and up-down directions. Fences (not labeled) for preventing parts from detaching can be formed on each side of the ramp member 340 along its length, i.e., the left and right ends in the illustrated embodiment.

[0253] Reference Figures 14 to 15 The illustration shows, as an example, the process in which the movable frame 330 moves using the movable member 320, so that the other side, i.e. the lower side, of the component transfer space 333 selectively communicates with the component receiving space 140.

[0254] Reference Figure 14 The diagram shows the state in which the movable frame 330 is placed on the component support plate 311. In this state, the lower side of the component transfer space 333 is closed by the component support plate 311, and the contained components will not flow outward.

[0255] Reference Figure 15When the moving member 320 actuates, the piston member 322 and the pressure plate 323 coupled thereto move forward. Simultaneously, the moving frame 330 coupled to the pressure plate 323 also moves forward, opening the lower side of the component transfer space 333. Components housed in the component transfer space 333 can then fall through this lower side onto the ramp member 340 and be delivered to the conveyor belt 120.

[0256] At this time, either of the two second movable walls 332 that is combined with the pressure plate 323, i.e. the second movable wall 332 located on the rear side, can pressurize the component located in the component transfer space 333, causing it to move toward the ramp member 340.

[0257] Reference Figures 16 to 19 The illustration shows, as an example, the process by which a component supplied to the component supply unit 300 moves to the component receiving space 140 by the action of the moving member 320.

[0258] Reference Figures 16 to 17 In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent feeding system 10 is adjusted to a first state S1. The first state S1 can be defined as a state in which components are supplied from the outside to the component supply unit 300, but the supplied components are not provided to the component receiving space 140.

[0259] In the first state S1, the piston member 322 of the moving member 320 and the pressure plate 323 connected thereto move rearward. As a result, the moving frame 330 connected to the pressure plate 323 also moves rearward, and the lower side of the component transfer space 333 is closed by the component support plate 311.

[0260] In the first state S1, the supply of additional components to the component receiving space 140 is blocked. As a result, in the first state S1, the external component identification device (not shown) and component picking device (not shown) can identify and pick up the component contained in the component receiving space 140 and then supply it to the outside again.

[0261] Reference Figures 18 to 19 In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent feeding system 10 is adjusted to a second state S2. The second state S2 can be defined as a state in which the supplied components are provided to the component receiving space 140 regardless of whether components are supplied to the component supply unit 300 from the outside.

[0262] In the second state S2, the piston member 322 of the moving member 320 and the pressure plate 323 connected thereto move forward. As a result, the moving frame 330 connected to the pressure plate 323 also moves forward, and the lower side of the component transfer space 333 is opened.

[0263] As a result, the components contained in the component transfer space 333 fall onto the ramp member 340 located below the component transfer space 333. Since the ramp member 340 extends at an angle, the components falling onto the ramp member 340 can be provided to the conveyor belt 120. The components provided to the conveyor belt 120 can move forward together with the conveyor belt 120 and are located on the vibrating plate 160.

[0264] Therefore, the intelligent feeding system 10 of one embodiment of the present invention alternately adjusts to a first state S1 and a second state S2, thereby enabling the supply of components.

[0265] Reference Figures 20 to 23 The image shows an intelligent feeding system 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0266] In another embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent feeding system 20 is configured to feed components delivered from the outside back to the outside. In other words, the components can be randomly provided to the intelligent feeding system 10 without quantity limitation. The intelligent feeding system 10 can be configured to provide a predetermined quantity of the received components to the outside.

[0267] In addition, when it is necessary to change the type of received component, that is, when it is necessary to provide other components that are different from the components already provided to the outside, the intelligent feeding system 20 can discharge the provided components.

[0268] Therefore, it can be understood that the intelligent feeding system 20 of this embodiment can provide at least two or more components to the outside.

[0269] The intelligent feeding system 20 can be arranged adjacent to a component supply device (not shown). The intelligent feeding system 20 can be connected to the component supply device (not shown) to receive the components. At this time, the component supply device (not shown) can be set to a quantity corresponding to the types of components that the intelligent feeding system 20 needs to supply to the outside.

[0270] The intelligent feeding system 20 can be installed adjacent to the component identification device (not shown). Components provided to the intelligent feeding system 20 can be provided to the outside again after being identified by the component identification device (not shown).

[0271] Therefore, the intelligent feeding system 20 includes: a configuration (i.e., main frame 100) for moving the supplied component to a position that can be identified by a component identification device (not shown); another configuration (i.e., vibration application unit 200) for applying vibration to the moving component to facilitate easy identification and gripping of the moving component; and yet another configuration (i.e., component supply unit 400, described later) for supplying components supplied from the outside to said configuration or discharging components already supplied to said configuration.

[0272] The difference between the intelligent feeding system 20 in this embodiment and the feeding system 10 in the above embodiment lies in whether the types of components provided have changed.

[0273] That is, the intelligent feeding system 20 according to this embodiment can change the type of the provided components in real time. Therefore, the intelligent feeding system 20 according to this embodiment is based on receiving components from the outside and transferring the received components outward, and also needs to be configured to replace the provided components.

[0274] Therefore, compared with the intelligent feeding system 10 of the above embodiment, the difference of the intelligent feeding system 20 of this embodiment lies in the component supply unit 400.

[0275] That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the intelligent feeding system 20 includes a main frame 100, a vibration application unit 200, and a component supply unit 400.

[0276] The main frame 100 and vibration application unit 200 are structurally and functionally identical to the main frame 100 and vibration application unit 200 provided in the intelligent feeding system 10 of the above embodiment. Therefore, the description of the main frame 100 and vibration application unit 200 of the intelligent feeding system 10 of the above embodiment will replace the description of the main frame 100 and vibration application unit 200 of this embodiment.

[0277] The component supply unit 400 is a part of the intelligent feeding system 10 that receives components from the outside. At least a portion of the component supply unit 400 is open, thereby enabling it to receive components from the outside.

[0278] At this time, the component supply unit 400 can receive different types of components. Specifically, the component supply unit 400 of the intelligent feeding system 20 provided in this embodiment can provide components received from the outside to the component receiving space 140. At the same time, the component supply unit 400 can discharge the components provided to the component receiving space 140 to the outside. That is, the component supply unit 400 can form two different directions of movement for the provided components.

[0279] The component supply unit 400 is integrated with the main frame 100. Specifically, the component supply unit 400 is integrated with and supported by the cover 110. In addition, a portion of the component supply unit 400 is movably disposed between a position close to the conveyor belt 120 and another position spaced apart from the conveyor belt 120.

[0280] The component supply unit 400 is located on one side of the component receiving space 140 along its length, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment. The component receiving space 140 may communicate with said side along its length, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0281] exist Figures 24 to 26In the illustrated embodiment, the component supply unit 400 includes a connecting frame 410, a moving member 420, a component moving space 430, and a blocking plate 440.

[0282] The connecting frame 410 forms part of the appearance of the component supply unit 400. The connecting frame 410 is the part where the component supply unit 400 is connected to the main frame 100. The connecting frame 410 forms one side in the height direction and each side in the width direction of the component supply unit 400, namely the upper side, left side and right side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0283] The connecting frame 410 is combined with the partition wall portion 130. In the illustrated embodiment, each side of the connecting frame 410 in the width direction is combined with a pair of first partition walls 131.

[0284] The connecting frame 410 is combined with the movable component 420. The connecting frame 410 can lift and support the movable component 420.

[0285] The frame 410 partially surrounds the component movement space 430. In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 410 surrounds each side of the component movement space 430 in the width direction and one side in the height direction, namely the left, right and top sides in the illustrated embodiment.

[0286] In the illustrated embodiment, the bonding frame 410 includes a first bonding frame 411, a second bonding frame 412, and a third bonding frame 413.

[0287] The first connecting frame 411 forms part of the connecting frame 410. The first connecting frame 411 is the part where the connecting frame 410 is connected to the first partition wall 131 of the main frame 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting frame 411 forms one side, i.e., the lower side, of the connecting frame 410 in the height direction.

[0288] The first connecting frame 411 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the first partition wall 131. In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting frame 411 is a polygonal column shape with a polygonal cross-section and a length in the front-to-back direction.

[0289] A plurality of first connecting frames 411 may be provided. The plurality of first connecting frames 411 may be spaced apart and connected to a plurality of first partition walls 131 at different positions. In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting frames 411 are provided as a pair, arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction and arranged opposite each other across the component movement space 430.

[0290] The first bonding frame 411 is combined with the second bonding frame 412.

[0291] The second connecting frame 412 constitutes another part of the connecting frame 410. The second connecting frame 412 connects the first connecting frame 411 and the third connecting frame 413. The second connecting frame 412 is connected to the first connecting frame 411 and the third connecting frame 413 respectively.

[0292] The second connecting frame 412 can be any shape capable of connecting the first connecting frame 411 and the third connecting frame 413. In the illustrated embodiment, the second connecting frame 412 is a polygonal column shape with a polygonal cross-section and a vertical length.

[0293] A plurality of second connecting frames 412 may be provided. The plurality of second connecting frames 412 are spaced apart and can be connected to the first connecting frame 411 and the third connecting frame 413 at different positions. In the illustrated embodiment, the second connecting frames 412 are provided as a pair, arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction, and are connected to a pair of first connecting frames 411 and third connecting frames 413 respectively.

[0294] The third connecting frame 413 forms another part of the connecting frame 410. The third connecting frame 413 is connected to and supported by the second connecting frame 412. The third connecting frame 413 can be configured to be spaced apart from the conveyor belt 120 along its height direction, i.e., the vertical direction.

[0295] The third connecting frame 413 is connected to the movable component 420 to support the movable component 420. Specifically, the third connecting frame 413 is fixedly connected to the movable body 421. As a result, the movable body 421 will not rise or fall, but will remain in the position connected to the third connecting frame 413.

[0296] The third connecting frame 413 can be of any shape capable of connecting with the second connecting frame 412 and the movable member 420. In the illustrated embodiment, the third connecting frame 413 is formed as a polygonal plate with a length in the left-right direction greater than its height in the up-down direction and a thickness in the front-back direction.

[0297] In the embodiment, each end of the third connecting frame 413 along its length is connected to a pair of second connecting frames 412. On one side of the third connecting frame 413 facing the component receiving space 140, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment, the moving body 421 of the moving member 420 is connected.

[0298] The movable member 420 causes the blocking plate 440 to move up and down in the direction toward the conveyor belt 120 and in the opposite direction, i.e., the up and down direction in the illustrated embodiment. One side of the component receiving space 140 defined by the conveyor belt 120 along its length, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment, may be allowed or blocked from communication with the outside by the movable member 420 and the blocking plate 440 coupled thereto.

[0299] When the moving member 420 actuates to raise the blocking plate 440, one side of the component receiving space 140, i.e., the rear side, communicates with the outside. In this state, if the conveyor belt 120 moves forward, components supplied from the outside can move toward the vibrating plate 160. Additionally, in this state, if the conveyor belt 120 moves rearward, components located in the component receiving space 140 can be discharged to the outside.

[0300] Through the process described above, the component located in the component receiving space 140 can be replaced.

[0301] The movable member 420 is coupled to the connecting frame 310. The movable member 420 is supported by the connecting frame 410. In the illustrated embodiment, the movable member 420 is coupled to the central portion in the longitudinal direction on the front side of the third connecting frame 413. Thus, the movable member 420 can remain in a floating state relative to the conveyor belt 120.

[0302] The movable member 420 is combined with the blocking plate 440. A portion of the movable member 420 is configured to rise and fall together with the blocking plate 440.

[0303] At this time, the descending position of the moving member 420 can be the position where the blocking plate 440 can contact the conveyor belt 120. In addition, the ascending position of the moving member 420 can be determined such that the component movement space 430 formed between the blocking plate 440 and the conveyor belt 120 has a height that allows the component to pass through.

[0304] The movable component 420 can be configured in any form, with one part fixed to the connecting frame 410 and the other part movable by connecting to the blocking plate 440. In one embodiment, the movable component 420 can be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder.

[0305] In the embodiment described, the movable member 420 is electrically connected to an external power source (not shown) and a control unit (not shown) to receive the power and control signals required for operation.

[0306] In the illustrated embodiment, the movable component 420 includes a movable body 421, a piston component 422, a support plate 423, and a movable guide component 424.

[0307] The moving body 421 can be defined as a portion formed by the moving component 420 and the connecting frame 410. The moving body 421 is supported by connecting to the front side of the connecting frame 410. The moving body 421 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 410 and will not move arbitrarily. The moving body 421 is separated from the conveyor belt 120 and remains in a floating state.

[0308] The movable body 421 is combined with the piston member 422. The movable body 421 movably supports the piston member 422. In the illustrated embodiment, the movable body 421 can support the piston member 422 vertically. In this embodiment, the interior of the movable body 421 may have a space to accommodate at least a portion of the piston member 422. In this case, the piston member 422 can penetrate through the movable body 421 along its height direction.

[0309] The movable body 421 is combined with the movable guide member 424. The movable body 421 can be fixedly combined with the movable guide member 424.

[0310] The movable body 421 can be of any shape that can be combined with the piston member 422 and the movable guide member 424. In the illustrated embodiment, the movable body 421 is a polygonal column shape with a quadrilateral cross-section and a vertical height.

[0311] The piston component 422 can be defined as the other component that moves together with the support plate 423. The piston component 422 causes the support plate 423 and the blocking plate 440 connected thereto to rise and fall.

[0312] The piston member 422 is movable along its length and engages with the moving body 421. In the illustrated embodiment, the piston member 422 is movable along the height direction of the second engaging frame 412, i.e., the vertical direction, and engages with the moving body 421. In one embodiment, the piston member 422 may be engaged through the moving body 421 along its length, i.e., the vertical direction in the illustrated embodiment.

[0313] The piston component 422 is coupled to the support plate 423. The piston component 422 can move up and down together with the support plate 423. In the illustrated embodiment, the front side of the piston component 422 is coupled to the support plate 423.

[0314] The piston component 422 can be configured in any shape to raise and lower the support plate 423 and the blocking plate 440 connected thereto by vertical movement. In the illustrated embodiment, the piston component 422 is a cylindrical shape with a circular cross-section and a vertical length.

[0315] A plurality of piston components 422 may be provided. The plurality of piston components 422 may be coupled to the moving body 421 and the support plate 423 at different positions. In the illustrated embodiment, the piston components 422 are arranged in a pair, spaced apart along the width direction of the moving body 421, i.e., in the left-right direction. The pair of piston components 422 are arranged opposite each other across the movement guide component 424.

[0316] The support plate 423 is a combination of the movable component 420 and the blocking plate 440. The support plate 423 can be combined with the piston component 422 and move up and down together. The support plate 423 can be combined with the blocking plate 440 and move together.

[0317] The support plate 423 is coupled to the piston member 422. The support plate 423 is coupled to one side of the outer periphery of the piston member 422, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment. In embodiments with a plurality of piston members 422, the support plate 423 may be coupled to each of the plurality of piston members 422.

[0318] The support plate 423 is coupled to the movable guide member 424. Specifically, the support plate 423 is movably coupled to the movable guide member 424. In the illustrated embodiment, the rear side of the support plate 423 is movably coupled to the movable guide member 424.

[0319] The support plate 423 can be of any shape that can be combined with and move together with the piston member 422 and the blocking plate 440, respectively. In the illustrated embodiment, the support plate 423 is formed as a rectangular plate with a quadrilateral cross-section and a thickness in the front-to-back direction.

[0320] The movable guide member 424 guides the lifting and lowering of the support plate 423, which is coupled to the piston member 422. The movable guide member 424 is movably coupled to the support plate 423.

[0321] The movable guide member 424 is combined with the movable body 421. At this time, the movable guide member 424 can be fixedly combined with the movable body 421. Therefore, it can be understood that the movable guide member 424 and the support plate 423 can be vertically combined by the support plate 423 lifting relative to the movable guide member 424.

[0322] In the illustrated embodiment, the movable guide member 424 is located at the central portion of the front side of the movable body 421. The movable guide member 424 is positioned between a pair of piston members 422.

[0323] The movable guide member 424 can be configured in any form to be fixedly attached to the movable body 421 and to support the support plate 423 in a height-reducing manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the movable guide member 424 extends along the height direction of the support plate 423, i.e., the vertical direction. In one embodiment, the movable guide member 424 can be in the form of a linear guide rail.

[0324] The component movement space 430 is a space defined by the conveyor belt 120 and the connecting frame 410. The component movement space 430 provides a channel for components supplied from the outside to move into the component receiving space 140. Additionally, the component movement space 430 provides a channel for components received in the component receiving space 140 to be discharged to the outside. That is, the component movement space 430 provides inflow and outflow channels for components.

[0325] The component movement space 430 is defined by the components of the connecting frame 410. In the illustrated embodiment, the width sides of the component movement space 430, i.e., the left and right sides, are surrounded by the first connecting frame 411 and the second connecting frame 412, and the height side of the component movement space 430, i.e., the upper side, is surrounded by the third connecting frame 413. The other side of the component movement space 430 in the height direction, i.e., the lower side, is surrounded by the conveyor belt 120.

[0326] The component movement space 430 can be selectively connected to the component receiving space 140 via a blocking plate 440. That is, if the blocking plate 440 is lowered and positioned adjacent to the conveyor belt 120, the connection between the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140 is blocked. If the blocking plate 440 is raised and sufficiently separated from the conveyor belt 120, the component movement space 430 is connected to the component receiving space 140.

[0327] The component movement space 430 can be shaped to correspond to the movement direction of the conveyor belt 120. In this case, the side of the component movement space 430 opposite to the component receiving space 140, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment, is open and always communicates with the outside.

[0328] Therefore, it can be understood that the side of the opening and closing component movement space 430 of the blocking plate 440 faces the other side of the component receiving space 140, that is, the front side in the illustrated embodiment.

[0329] The blocking plate 440 is combined with the movable component 420 and moves up and down together. The blocking plate 440 allows or blocks the communication between the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140.

[0330] The blocking plate 440 is combined with the moving member 420. Specifically, the blocking plate 440 can be combined with the support plate 423 and move up and down together.

[0331] The blocking plate 440 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the blocking plate 440 is a plate having a length in the left-right direction, a height in the up-down direction, and a thickness in the front-back direction.

[0332] At this time, the length of the blocking plate 440, that is, the length in the left-right direction, can be the same as the length in the width direction, that is, the length in the left-right direction, of the component receiving space 140 or the component moving space 430. In the above embodiment, the length of the blocking plate 440 can be the same as the distance between a pair of first partition walls 131 or the distance between a pair of first connecting frames 411 and second connecting frames 412.

[0333] Furthermore, the height of the blocking plate 440, i.e., its length in the vertical direction, can be the same as the height of the component movement space 430. In the aforementioned embodiment, the height of the blocking plate 440 can be the same as the distance between the conveyor belt 120 and the third connecting frame 413.

[0334] Reference Figures 27 to 30 The illustration shows, as an example, the operation of the blocking plate 440 of the component supply section 400 to allow or block the communication between the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140.

[0335] Reference Figures 27 to 28 In another embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent feeding system 20 is adjusted to a first state S1. The first state S1 can be defined as a state in which the component movement space 430 is connected to the component receiving space 140.

[0336] In the first state S1, the blocking plate 440 rises, and the component movement space 430 communicates with the component receiving space 140. Thus, components supplied from the outside to the rear side of the component movement space 430 are supported by the conveyor belt 120. Components placed on the conveyor belt 120 can move forward together with the conveyor belt 120 and move towards the component receiving space 140.

[0337] In addition, in the first state S1, the component located in the component receiving space 140 moves to the rear side together with the conveyor belt 120, passes through the component moving space 430 and is discharged to the outside.

[0338] That is, in the first state S1, components can be supplied from the outside, or supplied components can be discharged to the outside in order to replace them with other components.

[0339] Reference Figures 29 to 30 In another embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent feeding system 20 is adjusted to a second state S2. The second state S2 can be defined as a state in which the communication between the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140 is blocked.

[0340] In the second state S2, the blocking plate 440 descends and is positioned adjacent to the conveyor belt 120. In one embodiment, the blocking plate 440 may descend to contact the conveyor belt 120. As a result, the front side of the component movement space 430 is closed, and the communication between the component movement space 430 and the component receiving space 140 is blocked.

[0341] In the second state S2, the supply of additional components to the component receiving space 140 or the discharge from the component receiving space 140 to the outside is blocked. As a result, in the second state S2, the external component identification device (not shown) and component picking device (not shown) can identify and pick up the components contained in the component receiving space 140 and then provide them to the outside.

[0342] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented in this specification. Those skilled in the art who understand the concept of the present invention can easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or supplementing the constituent elements within the same conceptual scope, but these are also included within the conceptual scope of the present invention.
