[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the utility model proposes a high-efficiency material suction and feeding device, including a frame 100, which is provided with a stacking mechanism 110 and a stand 120, the stacking mechanism 110 is used for stacking workpieces, and the stand 120 is used for placing workpieces; a moving component, including a moving frame 210 and a suction cup 220, the moving frame 210 is slidably arranged on the frame 100, and the suction cup 220 is arranged on the moving frame 210; a driving component, including a first driver 310, a second driver 320 and a third driver 330, the first driver 310 is arranged on the frame 100 and connected to the movable frame 210, so as to drive the movable frame 210 to slide from the position of the stacking mechanism 110 to the position of the platform 120. The second driver 320 is arranged on the movable frame 210 and connected to the suction cup 220, so as to drive the suction cup 220 to move up and down. The third driver 330 is connected to the suction cup 220 to drive the suction cup 220 to suck or detach from the workpiece; the gripper is arranged on the frame 100, so as to grab the workpiece on the platform 120 to form a combined component.

[0035] During the material suction and feeding process, the second driver 320 drives the suction cup 220 to move downward to an appropriate position, at which time the suction cup 220 abuts against the workpiece, and then the third driver 330 drives the suction cup 220 to generate a vacuum suction force to stably suck the workpiece, and then the second driver 320 drives the suction cup 220 to move upward to an appropriate position, at which time the first driver 310 starts to drive the moving frame 210 to slide to the position of the platform 120, and under the action of the second driver 320 and the third driver 330, the workpiece is detached from the suction cup 220 and stably placed on the platform 120, and then the gripper automatically grabs the workpiece on the platform 120 to form a combined component, which facilitates processing, reduces manual operation, and improves production efficiency.

[0036] It should be noted that the stacking mechanism 110 can stack a sufficient number of workpieces in advance, so that frequent stacking is not required after the machine is turned on, which reduces the time of downtime for stacking and improves work efficiency. In addition, the suction cup 220 only sucks the top workpiece in the stack each time, sucking smoothly, and has little impact on the workpiece below the sucked workpiece, so that there is no need to use a pad to separate the two workpieces on the stack, which is simple and convenient, and improves the suction efficiency of the suction cup 220.

[0037] Furthermore, for combined processing workpieces, a corresponding number of stacking mechanisms 110, suction cups 220 and stands 120 are set. After the workpieces are classified and stacked in parallel, the suction cups 220 absorb one workpiece from each stack and place them on the corresponding stands 120 respectively. The grippers pick up the workpieces on the stands 120 in turn and combine them to form a combined component to be processed. The material suction and feeding process is automatically completed by the machine without manual operation. The operator only needs to classify and stack the workpieces.

[0038] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3 The workpieces include a first workpiece 410 and a second workpiece 420 , and the stacking mechanism 110 is provided with a first stacking mechanism 111 and a second stacking mechanism 112 . The first stacking mechanism 111 is adapted to the first workpiece 410 , and the second stacking mechanism 112 is adapted to the second workpiece 420 . The first stacking mechanism 111 and the second stacking mechanism 112 are arranged in parallel on the frame 100 .

[0039] Specifically, the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 can be workpieces to be combined of the same specification or different specifications. The first workpiece 410 is stacked on the first stacking mechanism 111, and the second stacking mechanism 112 is stacked on the second stacking mechanism 112. The first stacking mechanism 111 and the second stacking mechanism 112 are arranged side by side, so that the suction cup 220 can absorb the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 at the same time to improve efficiency.

[0040] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3 The stand 120 is provided with a first stand 121 and a second stand 122. The first stand 121 is adapted to the first workpiece 410, and the second stand 122 is adapted to the second workpiece 420. The first stand 121 and the second stand 122 are arranged in parallel on the frame 100. The first stand 121 and the second stand 122 are arranged in parallel, which facilitates the suction cup 220 to simultaneously place the first workpiece 410 on the first stand 121 and the second workpiece 420 on the second stand 122, thereby improving efficiency. In addition, it is also convenient for the gripper to grab the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 for combination.

[0041] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3 The first platform 121 and the second platform 122 are provided with a clamp 124 and a fourth driver 340, and the fourth driver 340 is connected to the clamp 124. When the first workpiece 410 is transported to the first platform 121 and the second workpiece 420 is transported to the second platform 122, the fourth driver 340 is started to drive the clamp 124 to close and clamp the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420, so as to ensure that when the suction cup 220 is separated from the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420, the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 are fixed and are not prone to sliding, thereby improving safety and stability.

[0042] Furthermore, when the gripper grabs the first workpiece 410 or the second workpiece 420 , the fourth driver 340 is started to drive the clamp 124 to open, so that the first workpiece 410 and the second workpiece 420 are released to facilitate the gripper to grab.

[0043] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The high-efficiency material suction and feeding device also includes a controller 500, which is respectively connected to the first driver 310, the second driver 320, the third driver 330, the fourth driver 340 and the gripper signal.

[0044] It should be noted that the controller 500 can automatically control the actions of the first driver 310 , the second driver 320 , the third driver 330 , the fourth driver 340 and the gripper without manual manipulation, thereby improving the degree of automation.

[0045] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 The movable frame 210 is provided with a position sensor 610, and the position sensor 610 is connected to the controller 500 by signal. The position sensor 610 is mainly used to detect the moving position information of the movable frame 210, and transmit the position information to the controller 500. The controller 500 controls the action of the first driver 310 according to the position information, so that the movable frame 210 slides to a preset position.

[0046] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The platform 120 is provided with a first sensing device 620, and the first sensing device 620 is connected to the controller 500 by signal, so as to detect whether a workpiece is placed on the platform 120. When the first sensing device 620 senses that a workpiece is placed on the platform 120, the first sensing device 620 transmits the sensing information to the controller 500, and the controller 500 controls the fourth driver 340 to clamp the workpiece according to the sensing information, and controls the gripper to move over to grab the workpiece. When grabbing the workpiece, the controller 500 controls the fourth driver 340 to release the workpiece, so that the gripper can grab the workpiece smoothly.

[0047] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 The stacking mechanism 110 is provided with a second sensing device 630, which is connected to the controller 500 by signal to detect the stacking status of the workpieces on the stacking mechanism 110. The second sensing device 630 can sense whether there are workpieces on the stacking mechanism 110, and can also sense the remaining number of workpieces, so that the controller 500 can control the suction cup 220 to absorb the workpieces on the stacking mechanism 110. In addition, a corresponding display screen or voice announcer can be provided to prompt the user to stack in time.

[0048] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3The workpiece is provided with a first positioning hole, and the stacking mechanism 110 is provided with a first positioning rod 113, and the first positioning rod 113 is inserted into the first positioning hole. The first positioning hole and the first positioning rod 113 mainly play a positioning role, which facilitates the rapid and accurate stacking of the workpiece.

[0049] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3 The workpiece is provided with a second positioning hole, and the stand 120 is provided with a second positioning rod 123, which is inserted into the second positioning hole. The second positioning hole and the second positioning rod 123 mainly play a positioning role, ensuring that the workpiece is transported to a specific position and ensuring working stability.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
