[0046] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic feeding device, comprising:
[0047] A material loading device 1, used for loading material 9;
[0048] The limiting device 2 is spaced apart from the material loading device 1 to form a reserved space. The material 9 in the reserved space has gas stored inside. The limiting device 2 is used to limit the movement of the gas so that the material 9 passing through the reserved space is released from the internal adsorption state under the action of the gas.
[0049] The expansion device 3 is used to contact the material 9 that has released its internal adsorption state, and drive the material 9 at the contact point to move along the first direction X1, so that the material 9 is in an expanded state;
[0050] The handling device 4 is used to extend into the material 9 in the expanded state and extract the material 9, and drive the material 9 to move along the second direction X2;
[0051] The cutting device 5 is used to cut the material 9 after the transport device 4 drives the material 9 to move along the second direction X2.
[0052] Specifically, the automatic loading device provided in this embodiment can be applied to loading a film material with a hollow structure, but is not limited thereto. The film material is located on the loading device 1 and the interior is in an adsorption state. Specifically, the adsorption state refers to an electrostatic adsorption state.
[0053] This embodiment can load materials with a hollow structure through the cooperation of the loading device 1, the limiting device 2, the expansion device 3, the conveying device 4 and the cutting device 5, and has a high degree of automation and improved loading efficiency.
[0054] In this embodiment, gas is stored inside the material 9 located in the reserved space, and a limit device 2 is provided to restrict the movement of gas, so that the material segments that successively enter the reserved space due to the movement of the material 9 can release their internal adsorption state under the action of the gas, thereby preventing the material 9 from being tightly adsorbed together, reducing the difficulty of operating the subsequent expansion device 3, so that the expansion device 3 can easily expand the material 9 without releasing the internal adsorption state of the material 9, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.
[0055] And through the cooperation of gas and limiting device 2, the material 9 is transformed from the original compact state (when the material 9 is in an adsorbed state) to a loose state (when the material 9 is released from the adsorption state), which makes it easier for the expansion device 3 to drive part of the material 9 to move, avoiding the material 9 from breaking or deforming during the movement, thereby ensuring the integrity of the material 9.
[0056] In this embodiment, the material 9 is expanded by the expansion device 3, thereby increasing the internal space of the material 9, making it easier for the conveying device 4 to quickly and accurately reach into the material 9 and extract the material 9, thereby improving the success rate of the conveying device 4 in extracting the material 9 and further improving the loading efficiency.
[0057] In one embodiment, the material 9 is wound on the material loading device 1 , and the material 9 can rotate relative to the material loading device 1 under the action of an external force to release the material 9 .
[0058] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the automatic loading device further comprises a frame 10, and the loading device 1, the limiting device 2, the expansion device 3 and the handling device 4 are all arranged on the frame 10. In one embodiment, the loading device 1 is rotatably arranged on the frame 10, so that the material 9 can rotate relative to the frame 10 under the action of an external force to release the material 9.
[0059] In one embodiment, the automatic feeding device further includes an inflation device, which is close to the limiting device 2 and is used to inject gas into the interior of the material 9 . The material 9 after being injected with gas by the inflation device is installed on the limiting device 2 .
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the horizontal height of the loading device 1 is H1, the horizontal height of the limiting device 2 is H2, and the horizontal height of the expansion device 3 is H3, wherein H1<H2, H3≤H2; the side and top of the limiting device 2 are in contact with the material 9, and the limiting device 2 is used to make the materials located on both sides of the limiting device 2 form an angle to limit the movement of the gas.
[0061] The included angle between the materials 9 on both sides of the limiting device 2 is between 30° and 170°.
[0062] In this embodiment, the horizontal height of the loading device 1 is lower than the horizontal height of the limiting device 2, and the horizontal height of the expansion device 3 is lower than or equal to the horizontal height of the limiting device 2, so that the material 9 located between the loading device 1 and the limiting device 2 forms an angle with the material 9 located between the expansion device 3 and the limiting device 2, so that the limiting device 2 can limit the gas position through a simple structure to avoid gas movement, with a simple structure and low production cost.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the limiting device 2 includes a limiting member 21, which is disposed on the frame 10.

The side and upper portion of the limiting member 21 both have an outwardly protruding arc surface 211, and the arc surface 211 is in contact with the material 9.
[0064] In this embodiment, an outwardly protruding arc surface 211 is provided on the limiting member 21 to reduce the friction generated when the material 9 contacts the limiting member 21, thereby avoiding the material 9 from being broken or deformed due to the limiting member 21 during movement, thereby ensuring the integrity of the material.
[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the automatic feeding device further includes:
[0066] The sensing device 6 is located between the limiting device 2 and the expanding device 3, and is used to detect the state of the material 9 and output a signal when the conveying device 4 drives the material 9 to move along the second direction X2;
[0067] The conveying device 7 is located between the limiting device 2 and the sensing device 6 , and is used to drive the material 9 to move according to the signal output by the sensing device 6 .
[0068] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the sensing device 6 and the conveying device 7, when the handling device 4 drives the material 9 to move along the second direction X2, the sensing device 6 detects that the material 9 has moved and then outputs a signal, and the conveying device 7 starts to assist in conveying the material 9 between the limiting device 2 and the sensing device 6 according to the signal output by the sensing device 6; when the handling device 4 drives the material 9 to move along the second direction X2, the sensing device 6 detects that the material 9 stops moving and then outputs a signal again, and the conveying device 7 stops conveying according to the signal output by the sensing device 6.
[0069] In this embodiment, the conveying device 7 assists the handling device 4 in driving the movement of the material 9, so that the conveying device 7 and the handling device 4 respectively transport the material 9 in different areas, with a high degree of automation. At the same time, the handling pressure of the handling device 4 is reduced, and excessive local pressure at the connection end between the material 9 and the handling device 4 is avoided, thereby avoiding the rupture and deformation of the material 9.
[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the sensing device 6 comprises:

[0072] The sensing element 62 faces the reference object 61 and is used for detecting the position of the reference object 61 and outputting a signal when the reference object 61 is displaced.
[0073] In this embodiment, the position of the reference object 61 is detected by the sensing element 62 through the cooperation between the reference object 61 and the sensing element 62, and the state of the material 9 is obtained based on the position of the reference object 61. In this embodiment, there is no need to set up a high-precision sensing device to detect the state of the material 9, so that the cost of the sensing device 6 is low and the economic benefit is high.
[0074] In one embodiment, the sensing device 6 includes a housing 63, and the reference object 61 is movably disposed in the housing 63 and placed on the material 9, so that the material 9 contacts the lower part of the reference object 61, and the reference object 61 bends the material 9 due to its own gravity. The sensing element 62 is also disposed on the housing 63 and corresponds to the reference object 61. When the transport device 4 drives the material 9 to move along the second direction X2, the material section located at the lower part of the reference object 61 moves upward or sideways upward together with the reference object 61 under the drive of the material section close to the transport device 4, so that the reference object 61 is displaced. After the sensing element 62 detects the movement of the reference object 61, it outputs a signal, so that the conveying device 7 assists the transport device 4 in driving the movement of the material 9.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the automatic feeding device further includes a material pressing device 8, which is located between the limiting device 2 and the expansion device 3 and contacts the material whose internal adsorption state is released, and is used to apply a certain pressure to the material whose internal adsorption state is released, so as to make the surface of the material whose internal adsorption state is released flat, thereby facilitating the subsequent expansion device 3 to contact a part of the material 9. In one embodiment, the material pressing device 8 is located between the sensing device 6 and the expansion device 3.
[0080] In one embodiment, the pressing device 8 includes a sixth driving member 81 and a pressing member 82 , and the pressing member 82 is configured to be driven by the sixth driving member 81 to approach and move away from the material 9 .

[0084] In one embodiment, the number of at least one adsorption component 31 is more than two, and the more than two adsorption components 31 are respectively located above and below the material 9.

[0085] In one embodiment, the adsorption member 31 is close to the cutting device 5 and is located on the side of the cutting device 5 away from the transporting device 4, so that the adsorption member 31 adsorbs the cut end of the material, and then under the action of the second driving member, the open end of the material is in an expanded state, further increasing the convenience of the transporting device 4 to extend into the interior of the material 9.

At the same time, the pick-and-place assembly 41 extends into the material in the expanded state to extract the material 9, so that the material 9 is transferred by the moving assembly in the expanded state or in a state close to the expanded state and sleeved on the carrier of the next process.
[0089] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the pick-and-place assembly 41 includes a third driving member 411 and two extracting members 412 . The two extracting members 412 are spaced apart, and the extracting members 412 are configured to be driven by the third driving member 411 to reduce and increase the spacing between the two extracting members 412 .
[0090] In this embodiment, the distance between the two extraction members 412 is adjustable through the third driving member 411, so that the two extraction members 412 can be gathered and extended into the expanded material, and then the distance between the two extraction members 412 is increased through the third driving member 411 to adapt to the internal space of the material 9, so that the material 9 is stably placed on the two extraction members 412, thereby increasing the success rate of extracting the material. At the same time, the pick-and-place assembly 41 can adjust the distance between the two extraction members 412 according to the size of the material 9 to adapt to materials 9 of different sizes, so that the application range is wide.
