Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0063] See also Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application provides an alternating feeding mechanism 100 for supplying materials (not shown) to a processing device (not shown) so that the processing device can detect, scan, process or otherwise process the materials. The processing device can be a detection device, a scanning device, a machining device, etc. For ease of understanding and explanation, the embodiment of the present application takes the processing device as a scanning device, and the processing device scans the material as an example, and defines the first direction as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The X-axis direction is shown, and the second direction is Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Z-axis direction is shown, and the third direction is Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the Y-axis direction shown, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Obviously, this is not a limitation of the embodiments of the present application.
[0064] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the alternating feeding mechanism 100 includes a support frame 10, a first bearing member 20, a driving member 30, an exchange component 40, a second bearing member 50 and a linkage component 60.
[0065] The support frame 10 has a processing position 16 and a material changing position 17 which are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The support frame 10 is provided with a guide groove 141 which is located below the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17 .
[0066] The first carrier 20 is slidably arranged on the support frame 10 along the first direction; the driving member 30 can be a power member such as a linear cylinder. The driving member 30 is arranged on the support frame 10 and connected to the first carrier 20. The driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move between the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17.
[0067] The exchange assembly 40 includes a lifting unit 41 and a sliding member 42. The sliding member 42 is slidably disposed on the support frame 10 along a first direction and is located between the first bearing member 20 and the guide groove 141. The lifting unit 41 is movably disposed on the sliding member 42 along a second direction and is slidably connected to the guide groove 141.
[0068] The second carrier 50 is arranged on the lifting unit 41; the linkage assembly 60 is connected to the sliding member 42 and the first carrier 20 respectively, and the linkage assembly 60 is used to drive the sliding member 42 to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the first carrier 20 when the driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move from the processing position 16 to the material changing position 17, so that the lifting unit 41 follows the movement of the sliding member 42 and drives the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 to avoid the position under the guiding action of the guide groove 141.
[0069] The feeding process of the alternating feeding mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present application is roughly as follows: in the initial state, the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 are respectively located at the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17, and the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 both carry materials to be processed; the processing equipment processes the materials on the first carrier 20, and when the materials carried by the first carrier 20 are processed, the driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move from the processing position 16 to the material changing position 17, and the linkage assembly 60 simultaneously drives the sliding member 42 to move in the direction opposite to the sliding direction of the first carrier 20, and the lifting unit 41 follows the movement of the sliding member 42 and drives the second carrier 50 to perform lifting movement and the first bearing under the guiding action of the guide groove 141. The carrier 20 avoids the position, thereby moving the second carrier 50 to the processing position 16, and the processing equipment continues to process the material on the second carrier 50. At this time, the processed material carried by the first carrier 20 is replaced with the material to be processed at the material change position 17. When the material carried by the second carrier 50 is processed, the driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move from the material change position 17 to the processing position 16, and the linkage assembly 60 drives the sliding member 42 to move in the opposite direction to the sliding direction of the first carrier 20 at the same time. The lifting unit 41 follows the movement of the sliding member 42 and drives the second carrier 50 to move up and down and avoid the first carrier 20 under the guidance of the guide groove 141, thereby moving the second carrier 50 to the material change position 17 again. The first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 alternately feed the processing equipment according to the feeding process, thereby reducing the waiting time of the processing device and improving the efficiency of the processing device in processing materials.
[0070] In some other embodiments, the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 can both be sliders, and the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 can both carry material trays (not shown) for carrying materials. The material trays are not part of the alternating feeding mechanism 100. When the processed material is replaced with the material to be processed at the material changing position 17, the entire tray of material can be replaced by replacing the material tray. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.
[0071] In this embodiment, the support frame 10 includes a base 11, two first support members 12, two second support members 13 and a guide member 14. The two first support members 12 are arranged on the base 11 at intervals along the third direction, the processing position 16 and the material change position 17 are both located between the ends of the two first support members 12 away from the base 11, the first bearing member 20 is slidably arranged on the ends of the two first support members 12 away from the base 11, the driving member 30 is arranged on one of the first support members 12, and the linkage assembly 60 is arranged on the other first support member 12; the two second support members 13 are arranged on the base 11 at intervals along the third direction and are located between the two first support members 12, and the sliding member 42 is slidably arranged on the ends of the two second support members 13 away from the base 11; the guide member 14 is plate-shaped, the guide member 14 is arranged on the base 11 and is located between the two second support members 13, and the guide groove 141 is opened on the side wall of the guide member 14 facing any second support member 13. In this way, it is convenient to install the first carrier 20, the driving member 30, the exchange assembly 40, the second carrier 50 and the linkage assembly 60, and it is beneficial to improve the compactness of the overall structure of the alternating feeding mechanism 100.
[0072] In this embodiment, the height of the second support member 13 is smaller than the height of the first support member 12, and the height of the guide member 14 is smaller than the height of the second support member 13, so that it is convenient to assemble the sliding member 42 and the first bearing member 20 onto the support frame 10 so that the sliding member 42 is located between the first bearing member 20 and the guide groove 141.
[0073] In this embodiment, the two first support members 12 each include a first support body 121 and a first slide rail 122. The first support body 121 is plate-shaped, and the first support bodies 121 of the two first support members 12 are arranged on the base 11 along the third direction at intervals; the first slide rail 122 is arranged at one end of the corresponding first support body 121 away from the base 11 and extends along the first direction, and the first bearing member 20 is slidably arranged on the first slide rails 122 of the two first support members 12. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy and stability of the first bearing member 20 sliding on the two first support members 12 along the first direction.
[0074] In this embodiment, the two second support members 13 each include a second support body 131 and a second slide rail 132. The second support body 131 is also plate-shaped, and the second support bodies 131 of the two second support members 13 are arranged at intervals along the third direction on the base 11 and between the two first support members 12; the second slide rail 132 is arranged at one end of the corresponding second support body 131 away from the base 11 and extends along the first direction, and the sliding member 42 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 132 of the two second support members 13. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy and stability of the sliding member 42 sliding on the two second support members 13 along the first direction.
[0075] In this embodiment, the support frame 10 also includes a fixing plate 15, which extends along the third direction and is respectively connected to the first support bodies 121 of the two first support members 12, the second support bodies 131 of the two second support members 13 and the guide member 14, thereby facilitating improving the firmness and stability of the overall structure of the support frame 10.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the guide groove 141 includes a first extension section 1411, a first transition section 1414, an avoidance section 1413, a second transition section 1415 and a second extension section 1412 which are sequentially connected along the first direction. The first extension section 1411 and the second extension section 1412 are extended along the first direction and are respectively arranged corresponding to the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17. The avoidance section 1413 is extended along the first direction and is arranged at the side of the first extension section 1411 and the second extension section 1412 away from the sliding member 42 along the second direction. The length of the avoidance section 1413 is less than the spacing between the first extension section 1411 and the second extension section 1412. The first extension section 1411 and the second extension section 1412 are symmetrically arranged relative to the avoidance section 1413. The first transition section 1414 and the second transition section 1415 are symmetrically arranged relative to the avoidance section 1413.
[0077] When the lifting unit 41 abuts against the inner wall of the first extension section 1411 driven by the sliding member 42, it means that the lifting unit 41 drives the second carrier 50 to move to the processing position 16; when the lifting unit 41 abuts against the inner wall of the second extension section 1412 driven by the sliding member 42, it means that the lifting unit 41 drives the second carrier 50 to move to the material replacement position 17; when the lifting unit 41 abuts against the inner wall of the first transition section 1414 or the second transition section 1415 driven by the sliding member 42, it means that the lifting unit 41 drives the second carrier 50 to move to the material replacement position 17. It means that the lifting unit 41 drives the second carrier 50 to lift along the second direction, and makes the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 avoid each other, thereby avoiding the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 from interfering with each other when they move with each other; when the lifting unit 41 abuts against the inner wall of the avoidance section 1413 driven by the sliding member 42, it means that the second carrier 50 is completely located below the first carrier 20, thereby further avoiding the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 from interfering with each other when they move with each other. In this way, by designing the specific structure of the guide groove 141, it is helpful to improve the accuracy of the lifting unit 41 driving the second carrier 50 to move to the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17 under the guiding action of the guide groove 141, and can effectively avoid the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 from interfering with each other when they move with each other.
[0078] In this embodiment, the first transition section 1414 and the second transition section 1415 both extend along a straight line, and the angles between the first transition section 1414 and the second transition section 1415 and the second direction are both acute angles of the same magnitude, thereby facilitating the smoothness of the lifting unit 41 driving the second bearing member 50 to rise and fall along the second direction under the guidance of the first transition section 1414 and the second transition section 1415. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first transition section 1414 and the second transition section 1415 may also be an inwardly concave arc, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.
[0079] Please refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lifting unit 41 includes a plurality of moving members 411 and a connecting member 412. The plurality of moving members 411 are slidably arranged in the sliding member 42 along the second direction and are arranged at intervals. The second bearing member 50 is connected to one end of the plurality of moving members 411 close to the first bearing member 20; one end of the connecting member 412 is connected to the second bearing member 50, and the other end of the connecting member 412 is slidably connected to the guide groove 141. The connecting member 412 is used to drive the second bearing member 50 to move along the second direction under the guiding action of the guide groove 141. Among them, the plurality of moving members 411 are all columnar. When the sliding member 42 slides along the first direction, the lifting unit 41 and the second bearing member 50 move simultaneously along the first direction under the driving of the sliding member 42, the second bearing member 50 drives the connecting member 412 to slide in the guide groove 141, and the connecting member 412 drives the second bearing member 50 to lift and lower under the guiding action of the guide groove 141, and the plurality of moving members 411 support the second bearing member 50 and guide the lifting direction of the second bearing member 50. This helps to improve the accuracy of the lifting unit 41 driving the second carrier 50 and the first carrier 20 to avoid each other under the guidance of the guide groove 141, and driving the second carrier 50 to move between the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17.
[0080] In this embodiment, the sliding member 42 includes a sliding body 421 and a plurality of linear bearings 422. The sliding body 421 is plate-shaped, and the sliding body 421 is slidably arranged on the two second slide rails 132 of the support frame 10 along the first direction, and the sliding body 421 is located between the first bearing member 20 and the guide groove 141. A avoidance hole 4211 is opened in the middle of the sliding body 421, and the connecting member 412 slides through the avoidance hole 4211; a plurality of linear bearings 422 are arranged at intervals on the sliding body 421 and arranged around the avoidance hole 4211, and a plurality of moving members 411 are respectively penetrated by the plurality of linear bearings 422. By providing a plurality of linear bearings 422 and connecting the plurality of moving members 411 respectively, it is helpful to improve the smoothness and accuracy of the sliding of the plurality of moving members 411 relative to the sliding member 42.
[0081] In this embodiment, the connecting member 412 includes a connecting rod 4121 and an abutting shaft 4122, wherein the abutting shaft 4122 is vertically disposed at one end of the connecting rod 4121 and is slidably disposed in the guide groove 141, and the other end of the connecting rod 4121 passes through the avoidance hole 4211 and is connected to the second bearing member 50. Since the friction between the abutting shaft 4122 and the guide groove 141 is small and the guiding force of the guide groove 141 can be accurately transmitted to the connecting rod 4121, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the connecting member 412 driving the second bearing member 50 to rise and fall along the second direction under the guiding action of the guide groove 141.
[0082] In some other embodiments, the sliding body 421 may not have the avoidance hole 4211, and the connecting member 412 is arc-shaped and bypasses one side of the sliding body 421. Similarly, one end of the connecting member 412 can be connected to the second supporting member 50, and the other end of the connecting member 412 can be slidably connected to the guide groove 141. The embodiment of the present application does not make any specific limitations on this.
[0083] In this embodiment, the exchange assembly 40 further includes an elastic member 43, which may be a tension spring, and the two ends of the elastic member 43 are respectively connected to the sliding body 421 of the sliding member 42 and the second bearing member 50, and the elastic member 43 is used to drive the second bearing member 50 to move toward the sliding member 42. When the connecting member 412 drives the second bearing member 50 to descend along the second direction under the guidance of the guide groove 141, if a jam occurs between the connecting member 412 and the guide groove 141, the second bearing member 50 will not be able to descend and will interfere with the first bearing member 20. By providing the elastic member 43 to provide a pulling force and drive the second bearing member 50 to move toward the sliding member 42, the second bearing member 50 and the first bearing member 20 can be effectively prevented from interfering with each other when they move with each other.
[0084] In this embodiment, the linkage assembly 60 includes a plurality of transmission wheels 61, a transmission belt 62 and an assembly 63. The plurality of transmission wheels 61 are arranged at intervals on the support frame 10 and on one side of the sliding member 42. Specifically, the plurality of transmission wheels 61 can be arranged at intervals on a first support member 12 of the support frame 10 away from the driving member 30. The transmission belt 62 is sleeved on the plurality of transmission wheels 61. The transmission belt 62 includes a first transmission section 621 and a second transmission section 622 which are parallel to each other and move in opposite directions. The first transmission section 621 is connected to the first bearing member 20 through the assembly 63, and the second transmission section 622 is connected to the sliding member 42. When the driving member 30 drives the first bearing member 20 to move in the first direction, the first bearing member 20 drives the transmission belt 62 to rotate, and the transmission belt 62 drives the sliding member 42 to move in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the first bearing member 20. At this time, the sliding member 42 drives the second bearing member 50 to move, and the lifting unit 41 follows the movement of the sliding member 42 and drives the second bearing member 50 to exchange positions with the first bearing member 20 under the guidance of the guide groove 141. Since the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 are driven by a driving member 30 to move and exchange positions at the same time, the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 move more synchronously with each other, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of exchanging the positions of the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50.
[0085] In some other embodiments, the linkage assembly 60 may also include a rotating power member such as a motor (not shown in the figure), and the rotating power member is connected to one of the transmission wheels 61 to drive the transmission belt 62 and multiple transmission wheels 61 to rotate. The rotating power member can be electrically linked with the driving member 30 through a controller (not shown in the figure). When the driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move from the processing position 16 to the material changing position 17, the rotating power member drives the multiple transmission wheels 61 and the transmission belt 62 to rotate to drive the sliding member 42 to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the first carrier 20. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.
[0086] In some other embodiments, the linkage component 60 can also be a linear power component such as a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod, and the linkage component 60 can be electrically linked with the driving component 30 through a controller (not shown). When the driving component 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move from the processing position 16 to the material changing position 17, the linkage component 60 drives the sliding component 42 to move in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the first carrier 20. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.
[0087] In this embodiment, a first bearing groove 21 is provided on the first bearing member 20, and a second bearing groove 51 is provided on the second bearing member 50. Both the first bearing groove 21 and the second bearing groove 51 are used to carry and position the material to be processed, thereby facilitating improving the accuracy of the processing device in processing the material.
[0088] In summary, the alternating feeding mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present application drives the first carrier 20 to move between the processing position 16 and the material changing position 17 by setting the driving member 30, and sets the linkage assembly 60 to drive the sliding member 42 to move in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the first carrier 20 when the driving member 30 drives the first carrier 20 to move, and sets the lifting unit 41 to follow the sliding member 42 when the sliding member 42 moves, and drives the second carrier 50 to move up and down along the second direction under the guiding action of the guide groove 141 to avoid and exchange positions with the first carrier 20, so that the first carrier 20 and the second carrier 50 can alternately feed materials to the processing equipment, thereby reducing the waiting time of the processing device and improving the efficiency of the processing device in processing materials. In addition, the alternating feeding mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present application has a simple structure and low cost.
