[0043] The embodiments of the present application provide a loading device and processing equipment for solving the technical problem of low loading efficiency of reagent tubes.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device includes a base 1, a vibration plate 2, a vibrator 3, a feed member 4 and a first material stopper 5. The vibration plate 2 and the vibrator 3 are both arranged on the base 1, and the vibration plate 2 has a discharge channel 21. The feed member 4 is arranged on the vibrator 3, and the vibrator 3 is used to drive the feed member 4 to vibrate. A conveying trough 41 is arranged on the feed member 4, and the conveying trough 41 is connected with the discharge channel 21. The first material stopper 5 is arranged on the feed member 4, and the first material stopper 5 is located directly above the conveying trough 41, and a first conveying distance is arranged between the first material stopper 5 and the feed member 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the loading device is used to load a workpiece, which may be a reagent tube 20. The reagent tube 20 includes a tube body 201, a connecting portion 202, and a tube cover 203. One end of the connecting portion 202 is fixed to the tube mouth of the tube body 201, and the tube cover 203 is arranged at one end of the connecting portion 202 away from the tube body 201.

[0046] The vibration plate 2 is used to arrange the reagent tubes 20 in the discharge channel 21 through vibration, and transport them along the discharge channel 21. A conveying groove 41 is provided on the feed member 4, and the conveying groove 41 is connected to the discharge channel 21, and is used to receive the reagent tubes 20 transported from the discharge channel 21. The vibrator 3 is used to drive the feed member 4 to vibrate, so as to transport the reagent tubes 20 in the conveying groove 41 through the vibration of the feed member 4.

[0047] The first material stopper 5 is located directly above the conveying groove 41, and a first conveying gap is provided between the first material stopper 5 and the material feeding member 4, so that the reagent tube 20 can pass through the first conveying gap. If the reagent tubes 20 overlap, the first material stopper 5 can block the overlapping reagent tubes 20 so that the overlapping reagent tubes 20 are laid flat.

[0048] The size of the first conveying gap may be between the thickness of one connecting portion 202 of the reagent tube 20 and the thickness of two connecting portions 202 , so as to improve the success rate of the first baffle plate in laying out the overlapping reagent tubes 20 .

[0049] It can be understood that the overlapping of the reagent tubes 20 means that the connecting parts 202 of the reagent tubes 20 overlap each other along the height direction.

[0050] The vibration plate 2 and the vibrator 3 of the embodiment of the present application are both arranged on the base 1, and the vibration plate 2 has a discharge channel 21 for arranging the workpieces individually in the discharge channel 21 for conveying; the feeding member 4 is arranged on the vibrator 3, and a conveying trough 41 is arranged on the feeding member 4, and the conveying trough 41 is communicated with the discharge channel 21 to receive the workpiece conveyed from the discharge channel 21 through the conveying trough 41; the vibrator 3 is used to drive the feeding member 4 to vibrate to convey the workpiece received by the conveying trough 41; the first material stopper 5 is arranged on the feeding member 4, and the first material stopper 5 is located directly above the conveying trough 41, and a first conveying spacing is arranged between the first material stopper 5 and the feeding member 4, so that when the feeding member 4 conveys the workpiece in the conveying trough 41, the workpiece can pass through the first conveying spacing; because the workpiece will be blocked by the first material stopper 5 when passing through the first conveying spacing, so as to flatten the overlapping workpieces, it is convenient to grab the flattened workpieces in the conveying trough 41, thereby improving the efficiency of loading the workpieces.

[0051] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device further includes a second material stopper 6, which is disposed on the base 1 or the feed member 4. The second material stopper 6 is located directly above the conveying trough 41, and a second conveying distance is provided between the second material stopper 6 and the feed member 4. The second material stopper 6 and the first material stopper 5 are arranged along the length direction of the conveying trough 41, and the side surface of the second material stopper 6 protrudes from the side surface of the first material stopper 5 along the width direction. The width direction is parallel to the upper end surface of the feed member 4, and is perpendicular to the length direction of the conveying trough 41.

[0052] The second stopper 6 is arranged just above the conveying trough 41, and a second conveying distance is arranged between the second stopper 6 and the feeding member 4, so that the workpiece can pass through the second conveying distance, and the feeding member 4 can convey the workpiece in the conveying trough 41. When the workpiece passes through the second conveying distance, it will be blocked by the second stopper 6 to flatten the overlapping workpieces. Since the second stopper 6 and the first stopper 5 are arranged along the length direction of the conveying trough 41, and the side surface of the second stopper 6 protrudes from the side surface of the first stopper 5 along the width direction, the second stopper 6 can block a larger area of ​​the workpiece, so as to adjust the angle of the workpiece in the conveying trough 41, and to facilitate the grabbing of the workpiece after the angle is adjusted.

[0053] In this embodiment, the side surface of the second stopping member 6 protrudes from the side surface of the first stopping member 5 along the width direction so that the side surface of the second stopping member 6 is close to the side surface of the tube cover 203 of the reagent tube 20, thereby adjusting the angle of the reagent tube 20 by blocking the tube cover 203 through the second stopping member 6.

[0054] It can be understood that the angle of the reagent tube 20 is adjusted by the second stopper 6 so that the length direction of the connecting portion 202 is parallel to the width direction.

[0055] Specifically, the side of the second stopper 6 is close to the side of the tube cover 203 of the reagent tube 20, which means that when the reagent tube 20 is fully aligned, the side of the second stopper 6 just contacts the side of the tube cover 203, or there is a small gap between the side of the second stopper 6 and the side of the tube cover 203.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second conveying pitch may be equal to the first conveying pitch.

[0057] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the second stopper 6 is disposed at one end of the first stopper 5 away from the discharge channel 21. After the second stopper 6 adjusts the angle of the workpiece, the workpiece can be grasped in the conveying trough 41, thereby preventing the angle of the workpiece from being deflected again after the second stopper 6 adjusts the angle, thereby affecting the grasping of the workpiece.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device further includes a first driving assembly 7, the first driving assembly 7 is arranged on the base 1, the second material stopper 6 is arranged at the output end of the first driving assembly 7, and the first driving assembly 7 is used to drive the second material stopper 6 to move along the width direction. When the feeding member 4 conveys the workpiece, the first driving assembly 7 drives the second material stopper 6 to move along the width direction, so that the second material stopper 6 is located directly above the conveying trough 41, and the side surface of the second material stopper 6 protrudes from the side surface of the first material stopper 5 along the width direction, so that the second material stopper 6 can flatten the overlapping workpieces and adjust the angle of the workpiece. When the workpiece is conveyed to directly below the second material stopper 6, the vibrator 3 stops vibrating, and at the same time, the first driving assembly 7 drives the second material stopper 6 to move along the width direction, so that the second material stopper 6 avoids directly above the conveying trough 41, thereby facilitating the grabbing of the workpiece.

[0059] In one embodiment, the height of the second material stopper 6 disposed at the output end of the first driving assembly 7 is adjustable, so as to adjust the size of the second conveying spacing according to actual working conditions, thereby improving the success rate of the second material stopper 6 in paving the overlapping workpieces.

[0060] In one embodiment, the position of the second material stopper 6 disposed at the output end of the first driving assembly 7 is adjustable along the width direction, so as to adjust the position of the second material stopper 6 in the width direction according to the size of the workpiece and the actual working conditions, so as to improve the success rate of adjusting the workpiece angle.

[0061] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the feeding device further includes a second driving assembly 8 and a positioning insert 9, and the second driving assembly 8 is disposed on the base 1. The positioning insert 9 is disposed at the output end of the second driving assembly 8, and the second driving assembly 8 is used to drive the positioning insert 9 to extend from the bottom of the feeding member 4 into the conveying trough 41 directly below the second material stopper 6.

[0062] When the feeding member 4 is conveying the workpiece, the second driving assembly 8 is used to drive the positioning spline 9 to move downward so that the positioning spline 9 exits the conveying slot 41, so that the workpiece can move in the conveying slot 41. When the workpiece is conveyed to the bottom of the second material stopper 6, the vibrator 3 stops vibrating, and the second driving assembly 8 is used to drive the positioning spline 9 to move upward so that the positioning spline 9 extends from the bottom of the feeding member 4 into the conveying slot 41 directly below the second material stopper 6, and each tooth of the positioning spline 9 is alternately distributed with the workpiece, so that the workpiece is positioned by the positioning spline 9, and the workpiece positioned by the positioning spline 9 is conveniently grabbed to the marking station for marking, thereby improving the loading efficiency of the workpiece.

[0063] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second material stopper 6 is provided with an avoidance groove 61, the notch of which faces the conveying groove 41. When the second driving assembly 8 drives the positioning insert 9 to extend from the bottom of the material feeding member 4 into the conveying groove 41, the avoidance groove 61 can accommodate the top of the positioning insert 9, thereby preventing the second material stopper 6 from interfering with the positioning insert 9 to move upward to position the workpiece.

[0064] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device further includes a sensor 10, which is arranged on the feeding member 4, and the sensor 10 is located on one side of the second material stopper 6 along the width direction, and the sensor 10 is used to detect whether there is a workpiece in the conveying trough 41. When the sensor 10 detects that there is a workpiece in the conveying trough 41 directly below the second material stopper 6, the vibrator 3 stops vibrating, and the first driving assembly 7 drives the second material stopper 6 to move along the width direction, so that the second material stopper 6 avoids the top of the conveying trough 41, thereby facilitating the grabbing of the workpiece.

[0065] In one embodiment, the feeding device further comprises a blowing nozzle, which is arranged at the connection between the first material stopper 5 and the second material stopper 6, and / or the blowing nozzle is arranged at the connection between the conveying trough 41 and the discharge channel 21, and the blowing nozzle is used to blow air into the conveying trough 41. When the workpieces overlap and cannot be conveyed in the conveying trough 41, the blowing nozzle can be activated, so that the workpieces are blown toward the conveying direction of the conveying trough 41 through the blowing nozzle, so that the workpieces can be re-flattened and conveyed in the conveying trough 41. It is prevented that the workpieces are stuck in the conveying trough 41 due to the blocking effect of the first material stopper 5 or the second material stopper 6.

[0066] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also provides a processing equipment, which includes a loading device. The specific structure of the loading device refers to the above embodiment. Since the processing equipment adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
