[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] Figure 1-6A feeding system is shown, including a silo 1, a material taking mechanism 2, a conveyor belt 3 and a feeding mechanism 4. A loading station 31 and a material taking station 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 3. The material taking mechanism 2 is used to take the material 5 in the silo 1 to the feeding station 31, and the feeding mechanism 4 is used to transfer the material 5 on the material taking station 32 to the box body on the conveying mechanism.

[0041] In this embodiment, the silo has multiple discharge ports, and the arrangement direction of the discharge ports is parallel to the arrangement direction of the conveying mechanism. The material picking mechanism is placed between the silo discharge port and the conveyor belt, and close to the loading station side. The loading mechanism is placed above the conveying mechanism and the conveyor belt.

[0042] In this embodiment, a buffer station 35 is provided between the loading station 31 and the taking station 32 .

[0043] The buffer station is between the loading station and the unloading station. It can buffer the materials and realize the connection between the silo and the conveying mechanism when the distance between them is large, thus ensuring the working efficiency of the loading system.

[0044] In this embodiment, a plurality of carriers 33 are provided on the conveyor belt 3 along the direction from the loading station 31 to the unloading station 32 .

[0045] Multiple sets of carriers can have the effect of caching multiple sets of materials.

[0046] In this embodiment, the carrier 33 is provided with an avoidance groove 34 for accommodating the material picking end of the material picking mechanism 2 .

[0047] After the material picking mechanism picks up materials from the silo, it moves toward the direction of the carrier. After reaching the carrier position, the materials are above the material picking mechanism. In order to avoid interference between the material picking mechanism and the carrier and ensure that the materials enter the carrier smoothly, an avoidance groove for accommodating the material picking end of the material picking mechanism is provided on the carrier. After the materials fall into the carrier, the movement of the conveyor belt separates the material picking mechanism from the carrier, thereby completing the loading of the material picking mechanism.

[0048] In this embodiment, the driving end of the material picking mechanism is placed below the silo, and the material picking end of the material picking mechanism moves between the silo and the carrier. This makes more reasonable use of space, and the mechanical arm of the material picking mechanism does not need to be too long to ensure stability and accuracy. The material is transferred from the silo to the carrier by the rotation of the mechanical arm between the silo and the carrier. In this process, the silo is inclined and the discharge port is inclined downward. When the material picking end of the material picking mechanism picks up material, the material is on one side of the material picking end. When the material picking mechanism is flipped and placed on the carrier, the material is above the material picking end at this time, and the material cannot be directly released to achieve loading. In the utility model, an avoidance groove is provided on the carrier to avoid interference between the material picking end of the material picking mechanism and the carrier. At the same time, the material is separated from the material picking mechanism by the movement of the carrier to avoid increasing the drive of the material picking mechanism, causing the material picking mechanism to be overloaded and affecting work efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, the carrier 33 is detachable.

[0050] The carrier is detachable to adapt to parts of different specifications.

[0051] In this embodiment, the carrier is a cubic structure with an open top, and an opening is provided on the side of the carrier facing the silo discharge port, and the opening is an avoidance groove for avoiding the material picking end of the material picking mechanism. During the movement of the carrier toward the material picking station, the carrier gradually moves away from the material picking mechanism, thereby achieving the separation of the material from the material picking mechanism and complete loading of the material by the material picking mechanism.

[0052] In this embodiment, the silo 1 includes a storage area 11 and a material discharge area 12, and the material discharge area 12 is arranged to be inclined downward.

[0053] The unloading area is tilted downward, and the material picking mechanism can pick up materials by rotating a certain angle, which is convenient for the material picking mechanism to pick up materials, reduces the related drives of the material picking mechanism, improves work efficiency and reduces the load of the material picking mechanism.

[0054] In this embodiment, a material stopper is provided at the material discharging end of the material discharging area, and the design of the material stopper can prevent the material from freely sliding and falling out.

[0055] In this embodiment, the storage area 11 is inclined and the inclination angle is smaller than that of the unloading area 12 .

[0056] The tilted setting of the storage area can increase the storage of materials; the tilt angle is smaller than that of the unloading area to ensure that the materials can fall smoothly from the storage area to the unloading area.

[0057] In this embodiment, the material picking mechanism 2 includes a motor 21, a driving shaft 22 and a material picking member 23. The motor 21 is used to drive the driving shaft 22 to rotate. One end of the material picking member 23 is connected to the driving shaft 22 and the other end is provided with a material picking suction cup.

[0058] The motor drives the driving shaft to rotate, and the material picking piece is installed on the driving shaft and rotates synchronously with the driving shaft. The end of the material picking piece away from the driving shaft is provided with a material picking suction cup for sucking materials for transfer. The coordination of the material picking mechanism with the silo and the conveyor belt enables the material picking mechanism to transfer materials from the silo to the carrier of the conveyor belt with only one drive, reducing the load of the material picking mechanism and improving the transfer efficiency.

[0059] In this embodiment, the output end of the motor 21 is connected to the driving shaft through the synchronous wheel 25 and the synchronous belt 26, and the driving shaft and the output end of the motor are arranged horizontally to reduce space occupation.

[0060] In this embodiment, the material picking member 23 includes two material picking rods, and the suction cup 24 is placed above the material picking rods.

[0061] Some materials are relatively long. In order to ensure the stability of the material picking by the picking piece, the picking piece includes two picking rods to ensure the stability of the material conveying by the picking mechanism.

[0062] As another embodiment, when the material is small, one suction cup can ensure stable suction, and the material picking member may only include one material picking rod.

[0063] In this embodiment, the material taking member is a curved structure, which ensures that the material taking mechanism does not interfere with other mechanical structures when taking materials from the silo and transferring them to the carrier.

[0064] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a spider hand 41 and a clamp 42 disposed at one end of the spider hand 41 , and the clamp 42 is used to take the material 5 from the material taking station 32 .

[0065] The clamp cooperates with the material taking station to clamp or suck the material from the material taking station, and then the spider hand moves the material on the clamp from the material taking station to the box body of the conveying mechanism to complete the loading. The spider hand has high working efficiency and can meet the high-efficiency loading requirements of the utility model.

[0066] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: materials are placed in a silo, and a conveying mechanism of a conveying box body is arranged at the discharge port side of the silo. There is a long distance between the discharge port of the silo and the conveying mechanism. The utility model takes out the materials in the silo through the picking mechanism and places them at the loading station. The loading mechanism picks up materials at the picking station. The loading station and the picking station are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt transports materials from the loading station to the picking station; picking up and loading are respectively carried out at different stations, so picking up and loading can be carried out at the same time, which solves the distance problem between the silo and the conveying mechanism while ensuring the material loading efficiency.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
