[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] At present, most feeding devices can only be used to grab objects of a certain shape. For example, suction cup feeding devices are more suitable for grabbing flat plates, and clamping claw feeding devices are more suitable for grabbing columnar or block materials. However, the products of various materials have different shapes. Due to the limitation of equipment installation space, it is difficult to equip a detection device with multiple feeding devices, which greatly limits the use scenarios of the detection equipment. Based on this, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding device, which can quickly replace the grabbing components through a quick-release structure, so that it is suitable for feeding materials of various shapes, and has the advantage of high disassembly and replacement efficiency.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding device, including a gripping component 4 and a linear module 1 for driving the gripping component 4. The linear module 1 adopts an xz linear slide. The gripping component 4 can adopt a gripping mechanism including but not limited to a suction cup type, a clamping type, and a clamping type, and can also adopt pneumatic or electric as energy input.

[0029] In this example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the linear module 1 and the grabbing assembly 4 are connected via a quick-release structure, and the quick-release structure includes a mounting assembly 2 and a connecting assembly 3 .

[0030] Specifically, the mounting assembly 2 includes a base plate 201, a mounting block 202 fixed on the surface of the base plate 201, and two mounting bolts 204. The base plate 201 is fixed to the z-axis linear module by bolts. A first notch 203 is formed on the surface of the mounting block 202 away from the base plate 201, and a rotating shaft is fixed to one end of the mounting bolt 204. The two mounting bolts 204 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the first notch 203 through the rotating shaft, so that the mounting bolts 204 can rotate in the first notch 203. A fastening nut 205 is threadedly connected to the other end of the mounting bolt 204.

[0031] The connection component 3 includes a connection plate 301, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the grabbing component 4. The connection component 3 and the grabbing component 4 form an independent module that can be removed from the mounting component 2. The second notches 304 are provided on both sides of the connection plate 301. During assembly, one surface of the connection plate 301 is pressed against the mounting block 202, the second notches 304 are aligned with the mounting bolts 204, and the mounting bolts 204 are rotated so that the two mounting bolts 204 can be rotated to engage with the two second notches 304. Then, the fastening nut 205 is tightened to abut against the connection plate 301, and the connection plate 301 can be locked. Thereby, the grabbing component 4 fixed on the connection plate 301 is used to grab materials. During disassembly, just follow the reverse steps, and installation and disassembly are convenient and quick.

[0032] In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the connection assembly 3 also includes a first limit block 302 and a second limit block 303, which are fixed to the surface of the connection plate 301 close to the mounting assembly 2 by bolts, and a limit groove is formed between the first limit block 302 and the second limit block 303, and the size of the limit groove is adapted to the mounting block 202, and the mounting block 202 can be inserted into the limit groove. The second notch 304 is opened at the connection plate 301 between the first limit block 302 and the second limit block 303.

[0033] When in use, first align the mounting block 202 and insert it into the limiting groove between the first limiting block 302 and the second limiting block 303. At this time, the first limiting block 302 and the second limiting block 303 "bite" the mounting block 202 from the upper and lower sides of the mounting block 202, which can ensure that when installing and disassembling the mounting component 2 and the connecting component 3, such as when tightening the fastening nut 205, there is no need to hold the module composed of the connecting component 3 and the grabbing component 4 by hand, and the mounting bolt 204 and the second notch 304 can be directly aligned, which is convenient for single-person operation and improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. At the same time, the limiting structure between the first limiting block 302, the second limiting block 303 and the mounting block 202 can increase the connection strength between the mounting component 2 and the connecting component 3, reduce the force on the mounting bolt 204, and ensure the stability and reliability of the structure.
