DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the first baffle in the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] The following is an example and combined with the attached Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0022] A feeding mechanism comprises a frame 1, a driving mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a material pushing mechanism 4, a recovery bin 5, a first material matching mechanism 6, and a second material matching mechanism 7.

[0023] The driving mechanism 2 comprises a driving motor 21, a first pulley 22, a transmission belt 23 and a second pulley 24. The output shaft of the driving motor 21 is fixedly connected to the first pulley 22, and the first pulley 22 is transmission-connected to the second pulley 24 via the transmission belt 23.

[0024] The conveying mechanism 3 includes a first rotating shaft 31, a conveyor belt 32, a second rotating shaft 33 and a support frame 34. The first rotating shaft 31 is transmission-connected to the second rotating shaft 33 through the conveyor belt 32. The support frame 34 supports the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32. The support frame 34 is located between the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 33.

[0025] The pushing mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 41 and a pushing block 42, wherein the power end of the cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the pushing block 42. The pushing direction of the pushing block 42 forms an angle with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pushing direction of the pushing block 42 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0026] The recovery bin 5 is used to recover the blocked workpieces. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the recovery bin 5 is funnel-shaped, so that the workpieces are guided to fall into the same place when they fall, which is convenient for the staff to perform subsequent recovery work.

[0027] The first material matching mechanism 6 includes a first matching port 61, a preparatory bin 62 and a first baffle 63. The preparatory bin 62 is installed below the first matching port 61 and is used to recover the materials dropped from the first matching port 61. The first matching port 61 and the second baffle 72 form a feeding channel 64 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32. The feeding channel 64 narrows along the moving direction of the workpiece, and the width at the narrowest point is greater than the width of one workpiece and less than the width of two workpieces, so that the workpieces in the feeding channel 64 are transported in an orderly manner.

[0028] The second material matching mechanism 7 includes a second matching port 71 and a second baffle 72. The second matching port 71 and the second baffle 72 form a discharge channel 73 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32. The discharge channel 73 narrows along the moving direction of the workpieces, and the width at the narrowest point is greater than the width of one workpiece and less than the width of two workpieces, so that the workpieces in the discharge channel 73 are transported in an orderly manner.

[0029] Installation of the feeding mechanism of the utility model:

[0030] The driving motor 21 is fixed to the frame 1, the second pulley 24 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 31, the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 33 are rotatably installed on the frame 1, and the support frame 34 is fixed to the frame 1; the cylinder 41 is installed on the frame 1, the push block 42 and the recovery bin 5 are located on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 32, the push block 42 is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32 so that the push block 42 pushes the work material into the recovery bin 5, the first docking port 61 is installed at the head end of the conveyor belt 32, the second docking port 71 is installed at the end of the conveyor belt 32, the first baffle 63 and the second baffle 72 are installed on the conveying mechanism 3 and are located on both sides of the push block 42, the second docking port 71 and the second baffle 72 form a discharge channel 73 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32; the first docking port 61 and the second baffle 72 form a feed channel 64 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 32.

[0031] The use process of the feeding mechanism of the utility model:

[0032] The workpiece is transported from the previous unit to the first docking port 61, enters the conveyor belt 32 along the feed channel 64 and is transported in an orderly manner under the guidance of the feed channel 64. When the first docking port 61 is blocked, the preparation bin 62 recovers the fallen workpiece. The workpiece is transported to the second docking mechanism 7 by the conveyor belt 32, enters the discharge channel 73, and enters the next working unit from the second docking port 71 under the guidance of the discharge channel 73 to complete the loading; when the workpiece of the next unit does not run smoothly and is blocked on the conveyor belt 32, the cylinder 41 drives the push block 42 to push part of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 32 into the recovery bin 5.

[0033] The benefit of the utility model lies in that when the conveying mechanism 3 is about to convey the workpiece to the next unit that is blocked, the pushing mechanism 4 drives the pushing block 42 to push the workpiece that is about to enter the blocked position into the recovery bin 5, so as to avoid the blockage at the blocked position from worsening, so that the workpiece blocked in the next unit can be cleaned while the assembly line is working without stopping. When the conveying channel of the next unit is opened, the pushing mechanism 4 stops working, so that the assembly line can operate normally, avoiding the economic losses caused by the shutdown of the assembly line.

[0034] The above embodiment only expresses one implementation method of the utility model, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are equivalent modifications and improvements made to the above embodiment based on the essential technology of the utility model, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
