[0041] The utility model proposes an automatic feeding device for a hand plate, which mainly provides an expansion part at one place of the hand plate, the width or height of the expansion part is greater than the width and height of the other positions of the hand plate, and this part of the hand plate is clamped by a limit piece and a clamping groove on a material guide track, so that the hand plate stands upright at the clamping groove, which is convenient for the orientation of the hand plate and automatic feeding.

[0042] The following embodiments are used to describe in detail an automatic feeding device for a prototype of the present application.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic feeding device of the hand plate includes: a feeding mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a guide track 3, a material dividing mechanism 4, a limiter 5 and a material taking mechanism 6; a plurality of hand plates 7 are placed in the feeding mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism 1 is provided with a discharge port, the guide track 3 is arranged corresponding to the discharge port of the feeding mechanism 1, and the feeding mechanism 1 is used to transport the hand plates 7 to the guide track 3; the feeding mechanism 2 is arranged at the lower side of the guide track 3, and the feeding mechanism 2 is used to drive the hand plates 7 on the guide track 3 Moves in the direction away from the discharge port; the guide track 3 is provided with a slot 301 for the hand plate 7 to stand upright, and the limiter 5 is arranged corresponding to the slot 301, and the limiter 5 is used to block the hand plate 7 at the slot 301; the picking mechanism 6 is arranged corresponding to the slot 301, and the picking mechanism 6 is used to pick up the hand plate 7 at the slot 301; the dividing mechanism 4 is arranged correspondingly between the slot 301 and the discharge port, and the dividing mechanism 4 is used to limit the number of hand plates 7 passing through the corresponding guide track 3.

[0044] In the present technical solution, the feeding mechanism 1 is a vibrating plate, which can transport the hand plate 7 to the discharge port in a vibrating manner. The guide track 3 is a U-shaped track, which is horizontally arranged in the left and right directions. The feeding mechanism 2 is a linear vibrator, and the guide track 3 is fixed on the feeding mechanism 2. Turning on the feeding mechanism 2 can drive the guide track 3 to vibrate and drive the hand plate 7 in the track to move to the right. The limiter 5 is a plate-like structure, which is horizontally arranged at the right end of the guide track 3. There is a certain gap between the limiter 5 and the bottom surface of the guide track 3, and a slot 301 is arranged directly below the limiter 5. When the hand plate 7 moves to the limiter 5, it is blocked by the limiter 5 and cannot continue to move to the right, and at this time, a part of the hand plate 7 can fall down from the slot 301, so that the hand plate 7 is vertically suspended in the slot 301 under the influence of gravity, and then picked up by the material taking mechanism 6, so that the hand plate 7 can be output in a certain direction.

[0045] The material dividing mechanism 4 is arranged on the left side of the limiter 5 and is mounted on the upper side of the material guiding track 3. When in use, the material dividing mechanism 4 is opened to limit the hand plates 7 passing through the material dividing mechanism 4, so that the number of hand plates 7 at the limiter 5 can be controlled, and a large number of hand plates 7 are prevented from moving to the limiter 5, which is convenient for the material taking mechanism 6 to pick up and the number of hand plates 7 stacked on each other can be reduced.

[0046] The material taking mechanism 6 is usually configured as a robot arm, which can clamp or adsorb the hand plate 7 at the card slot 301 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the material taking mechanism 6 can drive the hand plate 7 to rotate to prevent the hand plate 7 from falling to the lower side of the card slot 301 and colliding with the card slot 301 during the pulling process.

[0048] In this embodiment, a side of the limiting member 5 close to the material dividing mechanism 4 is provided with an arc surface.

[0049] In the present technical solution, the slot 301 is arranged in the middle of the material guide mechanism, and two arc-shaped surfaces are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the left side of the limiter 5, so that the middle position of the left side of the limiter 5 is the farthest position from the feeding mechanism 1. In this way, with the driving of the feeding mechanism 2, the hand plate 7 will automatically move to the farthest position, and then be suspended in the slot 301 under the guiding effect of the slot 301.

[0050] In this embodiment, the hand plate 7 is provided with an expansion portion 701, the width of the expansion portion 701 is greater than the width of the remaining positions of the hand plate 7, and / or the height of the expansion portion 701 is greater than the height of the remaining positions of the hand plate 7;

[0051] The width of the slot 301 is smaller than the width of the expansion portion 701 , and the width of the slot 301 is smaller than the height of the expansion portion 701 . The slot 301 and the stopper 5 are used to allow the expansion portion 701 of the hand plate 7 to be suspended in the slot 301 .

[0052] In the present technical scheme, for the convenience of description, a model handboard 7 of a man without hands is first described. The man model handboard 7 has a head, a body and feet. Under the influence of its own weight, the man model handboard 7 lies flat in the guide track 3, and the height and width of the man are described by the position of the man in the lying state. The head of the man lying flat has the highest overall width and height, the spacing between the stopper 5 and the guide track 3 is greater than the height of the man's body and feet, and the spacing between the stopper 5 and the guide track 3 is less than the height of the man's head. When the man moves to the stopper 5 with the vibration of the guide track 3, no matter where the man's feet are in the front, back, left, and right, the feet will gradually face the right with the vibration of the guide mechanism. When the man's feet face the right, they will fall down through the card slot 301, so that the man's head is connected to the card slot 301 and hung there. This allows the man to be output in a vertical state, which is convenient for automatic feeding. It is worth noting that the card slot 301 is set to a rectangle to meet the use requirements.

[0053] Another example is a human model handboard 7 with two hands. When the human lies flat, the width between the two hands is greater than the width of the head, but the height of the human body, feet and two hands in the vertical direction is less than the height of the head. In this way, when the human moves to the stopper 5, both hands and feet will face the right side, and it is necessary to set extension slots for the two hands to pass through on both sides of the slot 301, so that the human head can continue to be stuck in the slot 301, and the position of the extension slot needs to be selected to prevent the human head from falling from the extension slot.

[0054] In some embodiments, the height of the discharge port on the feeding mechanism 1 is greater than 1 times the height of the figurine's head and less than 1.5 times the height of the figurine's head. In this way, the height limit of the discharge port prevents the hand plates 7 in the guide track 3 from stacking on each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, the material dispensing mechanism 4 includes a pressing mechanism 401 and a guide member 402;

[0056] The guide member 402 is disposed on the material guide track 3, and a movement path of the hand plate 7 is defined between the guide member 402 and the material guide track 3, and the width of the movement path is greater than one times the width of the hand plate 7, and the width of the movement path is less than two times the width of the hand plate 7;

[0057] The pressing mechanism 401 is arranged corresponding to the movement path, and is used to fix the hand plate 7 at the movement path.

[0058] In the technical solution, two guide members 402 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged front and back, and the left side is set as an inclined surface or an arc surface. The gap between the two guide members 402 is the aforementioned movement path. In the specific setting, the width between the two guide members 402 is 1.1 times the width of the head of the figurine, so that only one row of figurines is allowed to pass in the left and right directions. This facilitates the precise action area of ​​the pressing mechanism 401 and the precise number of hand plates 7 that pass through at a single time.

[0059] In some embodiments, the guide member 402 is configured as, for example, a rear side of the guide track 3. In this case, the gap between the front side of the guide member 402 and the front side of the guide track 3 is the aforementioned movement path.

[0060] It is worth noting that when the figurine is a figurine with two hands, a space for the two hands to pass through should be left between the guide member 402 and the bottom side surface of the guide track 3, and the height of the space should be the height of the figurine's head. In addition, when the figurine is a figurine with two hands, on one hand, a groove for the two hands to pass through can be opened on both sides of the slot 301, and on the other hand, the figurine can be driven to rotate by the material taking mechanism 6, and the two hands can be avoided through the hollowing of the slot 301.

[0061] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 4 further includes: a crankshaft 403 and a driving mechanism 404;

[0062] The crankshaft 403 is rotatably disposed on the material guide track 3 between the guide member 402 and the clamping groove 301 . The driving mechanism 404 is connected to the crankshaft 403 . The driving mechanism 404 is used to drive the crankshaft 403 to rotate.

[0063] In the technical solution, the crankshaft 403 is a convex folding line shaft, rotatably arranged on the upper side of the material guide track 3, and arranged on the right side of the pressing mechanism 401. The driving mechanism 404 is a stepping motor, and the output shaft of the driving mechanism 404 is connected to the crankshaft 403, which can drive the crankshaft 403 to rotate. The minimum distance between the protruding part of the crankshaft 403, that is, the middle section, and the inner bottom surface of the material guide track 3 is less than the height of the head of the villain, and the maximum distance is greater than the height of the head of the villain. In this way, by controlling the position of the crankshaft 403, it can be determined whether the villain can pass.

[0064] Specifically, when in use, a little man is released toward the crankshaft 403 through the pressing mechanism 401, and then the distance between the crankshaft 403 and the bottom surface of the guide track 3 is kept smaller than the height of the little man's head. The little man is blocked for a certain period of time. At this time, the little man is restricted by the crankshaft 403 and his feet gradually face right. Then, the little man is released through the control of the driving mechanism 404, so that the little man moves directly to the slot 301 in the left and right directions, which can improve the positioning speed of the little man in the slot 301, and can also improve the accuracy of the little man's position and angle.

[0065] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 401 includes an air press (not shown), a fixing frame 405 and a plurality of nozzles 406;

[0066] The fixed frame 405 is arranged on the upper side of the moving path, and each nozzle 406 is arranged on the fixed frame 405 corresponding to the moving path. The air compressor is connected to each nozzle 406 , and the air compressor is used to spray gas to the material guide track 3 through each nozzle 406 .

[0067] In the present technical solution, the fixing frame 405 is erected on both sides of the material guide track 3, and the nozzle 406 is fixed on the fixing frame 405, and the nozzle 406 is arranged vertically toward the material guide track 3, and three nozzles 406 are arranged in a colinear manner in the left and right directions. The air compressor (not shown in the figure) is connected to each nozzle 406 through a pipeline. Due to the restriction of the two guide members 402, there are a left and right row of hand plates 7 on the moving path. At this time, the air compressor sprays gas downward through the nozzle 406, which can increase the friction between the hand plate 7 and the material guide track 3, and can temporarily fix the hand plate 7 in this position. In this way, on the one hand, the number of hand plates 7 passing through the guide member 402 can be guaranteed, and on the other hand, it can cooperate with the crankshaft 403 to prevent the subsequent hand plates 7 from interfering with the hand plates 7 adjusting the direction at the crankshaft 403.

[0068] In some embodiments, the crankshaft 403 and the driving mechanism 404 are fixed on a fixing frame 405 , so that the driving motor and the crankshaft 403 do not need to be directly fixed on the material guide track 3 , thereby avoiding affecting the vibration of the feeding mechanism 2 .

[0069] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
