The materials move along the material channel 21 to the discharge port 22 and are blocked by the material blocking structure at the discharge port 22. When loading, the flipping driving mechanism 5 first controls the vacuum suction cup 3 to face the discharge port 22, and the linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move in the direction of the discharge port 22. The vacuum suction cup 3 sucks the materials at the discharge port 22, and then the linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move away from the discharge port 22. The flipping driving mechanism 5 controls the vacuum suction cup 3 to rotate toward the input end of the conveyor belt 1, and the linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move in the direction of the input end of the conveyor belt 1. The vacuum suction cup 3 places the materials at the input end of the conveyor belt 1.

The loading speed can be controlled by controlling the speed of the distribution mechanism, and the control is more convenient.

[0030] Preferably, the material channel 21 is gradually inclined from the end away from the discharge port 22 to the end close to the discharge port 22. The material in the material channel 21 can automatically slide toward the discharge port 22 under the action of gravity, which is convenient for cooperating with the distribution mechanism to realize automatic feeding.

[0031] Preferably, the linear drive mechanism 4 is a linear cylinder, and the flip drive mechanism 5 is a flip cylinder.

[0032] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The material blocking structure includes a plurality of elastic blocks 23 fixedly arranged on the outer ring of the material outlet 22, and the elastic blocks 23 partially extend into the material outlet 22. The elastic blocks 23 are elastic and can block the material outlet 22 to prevent the material from falling out of the material outlet 22. When the dispensing mechanism extracts the material at the material outlet 22, the elastic blocks 23 can be deformed so that the material can be extracted. After the material is extracted, the elastic blocks 23 can automatically reset, thereby continuing to block the material in the material channel 21.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 A feeding notch 24 is provided on the upper side of one end of the material channel 21 away from the material outlet 22. The feeding notch 24 is used to feed the material channel 21, and the material is directly put into the material channel 21 through the feeding notch 24, which makes feeding more convenient.

When fixed, the material rod 27 can adjust its position along the rod positioning long hole 211. This fixing method enables each adjustment material rod 27 to have a certain adjustment amount, and the diameter of the material channel 21 is adjusted by adjusting the position of each material rod 27 to meet the feeding requirements of materials of various specifications and improve applicability.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , a first photoelectric sensor 6 is provided at one end of the material channel 21 near the discharge port 22 for monitoring whether there is still material inside the material channel 21; when the first photoelectric sensor 6 detects that there is no material in the material channel 21, it transmits a signal to the control system of the equipment, and the control system can control the dispensing mechanism to stop and send a signal to remind that there is no material.

When the congestion problem of the front-end equipment is solved, a signal can be sent to the feeding and dispensing machine, and the feeding and dispensing machine will start again to feed materials. It can save electric energy and increase the service life of the equipment.

[0037] Working process of this utility model:

[0038] The utility model provides a feeding and distributing machine. During operation, materials are arranged in sequence on a material channel 21. The materials move along the material channel 21 to a discharge port 22 and are blocked by a material blocking structure at the discharge port 22. During feeding, a flipping driving mechanism 5 first controls a vacuum suction cup 3 to face the discharge port 22. A linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move in the direction of the discharge port 22. The vacuum suction cup 3 sucks the materials at the discharge port 22. Then, the linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move away from the discharge port 22. The flipping driving mechanism 5 controls the vacuum suction cup 3 to rotate toward an input end of a conveyor belt 1. The linear driving mechanism 4 drives the vacuum suction cup 3 to move in the direction of the input end of the conveyor belt 1. The vacuum suction cup 3 places the materials at the input end of the conveyor belt 1. The material distribution can be realized by repeating this process.
