[0002] The automatic feeding device is a supporting device for material feeding and conveying. With the continuous improvement of the level of factory automation, more and more picking work uses robots (such as SCARA robots) to replace manual operations. The feeding device is a material conveying device used to assist the robot in automatically picking up materials for a long time. With the continuous development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the manufacturing process of automatic feeding devices.
[0003] The existing feeding devices have certain drawbacks when in use. The small SCARA robots currently on the market have a limited working range. When grabbing a whole box of materials with a large volume, it is impossible to grab the whole box of materials without human intervention. This requires an increase in the frequency of manual replacement of material boxes, resulting in reduced production efficiency and increased labor costs, which has brought certain adverse effects to the actual use process. For this reason, we propose an automatic feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0021] Furthermore, a slide rail 12 is integrally formed on the feeding and conveying seat 16, a slider 14 is movably arranged on the slide rail 12, a synchronous belt 2 is arranged between the slider 14 and the slide rail 12, a translation bracket 3 is installed on the upper end of the slider 14, a vertical motion functional structure 11 is installed on the translation bracket 3, a lifting bracket 15 and a lifting arm 5 are arranged on the vertical motion functional structure 11, and translation brackets 13 are arranged at both ends of the feeding and conveying seat 16.
[0022] Furthermore, the translation function structure 10 translates on the upper end of the feeding and conveying seat 16, and the translation function structure 10 drives the storage box body 8 to translate, and the vertical movement function structure 11 drives the storage box body 8 to move up and down.
[0023] Furthermore, the movable tray 6 performs a lifting activity inside the material storage box body 8, and the highest activity position of the movable tray 6 is the upper edge of the material storage box body 8, and the bottom of the material storage box body 8 is installed through the material box support plate 9.

[0025] Furthermore, the slider 14 slides on the slide rail 12 , and the bottom of the translation bracket 3 moves translationally on the upper end of the feeding and conveying seat 16 through the slider 14 and the slide rail 12 .
[0026] Furthermore, the lifting arm 5 and the lifting bracket 15 drive the movable tray 6 to move up and down inside the material storage box body 8, and the top of the lifting arm 5 can lift the movable tray 6 out of the position of the material storage box body 8.
[0027] Working principle: The utility model includes a translation structure servo motor 1, a synchronous belt 2, a translation bracket 3, a vertical lifting structure servo motor 4, a lifting arm 5, a movable tray 6, a material box baffle 7, a material storage box body 8, a material box support plate 9, a translation function structure 10, a vertical movement function structure 11, a slide rail 12, a translation frame 13, a slider 14, a lifting bracket 15, and a feeding and conveying seat 16.
