[0063] It should also be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the width direction is parallel to the Y direction.
[0064] It should also be noted that product 40 includes but is not limited to solder chip capacitors, which are an important type in the capacitor family. Intelligence, miniaturization, and high power are all inseparable from solder chip capacitors. The outer shell of the solder chip capacitor is made of an aluminum shell, and a layer of insulating sleeve is wrapped outside the aluminum shell; the specific structure and working principle of the solder chip capacitor are all existing technologies and will not be repeated in this application.
[0065] It should also be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the fixed plate 110 is a quadrilateral, and a through groove for installing the vibration plate 120 is arranged in the fixed plate 110; a first baffle is arranged on the first side 140 of the fixed plate 110, and the first baffle is used to block the product 40 to prevent the product 40 from falling during the loading process, and the discharge chute 160 is arranged on the first baffle; a second baffle is arranged on the side of the fixed plate 110 away from the conveying device 20, and the second baffle is used to block the product 40 to prevent the product 40 from falling during the loading process.
[0066] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 includes a base 310, a screw 320, a pushing motor 330, a screw nut seat 340 and a pushing rod 350; the base 310 is arranged on the vibrating feeding platform 10; the screw 320 is rotatably arranged on the base 310; the pushing motor 330 is arranged on the base 310, and the output shaft of the pushing motor 330 is connected to the screw 320; the screw nut seat 340 is threadedly connected to the screw 320, and the screw nut seat 340 is movably arranged on the base 310, and the pushing motor 330 drives the screw nut seat 340 to move along the width direction; the pushing rod 350 is arranged on the screw nut seat 340.
[0067] The pushing device 30 drives the pushing rod 350 to move in the width direction through the screw 320, and the pushing motor 330 drives the screw 320 to rotate, and the screw 320 drives the screw nut seat 340 to move in the width direction. The pushing rod 350 and the screw nut seat 340 move together, providing a structural basis for pushing the product 40. It is not only simple in structure, but also reliable, high in precision, impact-resistant, and easy to maintain.
[0068] It should be noted that the base 310 is located below the fixed plate 110 , and the base 310 includes a first bottom plate 3101 and a second bottom plate 3102 connected to the first bottom plate 3101 . The screw rod and the pusher motor 330 are both located on the first base 310 .
[0069] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 includes a cylinder, a telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the pushing rod 350, and the pushing rod 350 is driven to move in the width direction by the telescopic rod of the cylinder.
[0070] In some embodiments, the feeding structure further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the vibration feeding platform 10, the conveying device 20, and the pushing device 30 respectively.
[0071] It should be noted that the controller includes but is not limited to a PLC controller (programmable logic controller). The PLC controller has high reliability, strong anti-interference ability, and is easy to operate and maintain. In addition, the specific principles and structures of the PLC controller are current technologies and will not be repeated in this application.
[0072] It should also be noted that the time interval and preset stroke of the pushing device 30 for pushing the product 40 can be controlled by a controller, wherein the specific control process and control principle of the controller are prior art and are not specifically limited in this application. Of course, the time interval of the pushing device 30 for pushing the product 40 can also be set by a timer.
[0073] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 also includes a photoelectric seat 360, a photoelectric test piece 370 and a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391; the photoelectric seat 360 is arranged on the base 310; the photoelectric test piece 370 is arranged on the screw nut seat 340, so that the photoelectric test piece 370 and the screw nut seat 340 move together; a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are arranged on the photoelectric seat 360 and are electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are located on one side of the screw 320; wherein the photoelectric test piece 370 is used to trigger the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induced electrical signal to control the rotation and stop of the pushing motor 330.
[0074] It should be noted that when the photoelectric test piece 370 moves to a photoelectric sensor 391 , the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induction electric signal, and the controller receives the induction electric signal and controls the push motor 330 to stop.
[0075] It should also be noted that the photoelectric test piece 370 is a light-shielding piece. The photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses a photoelectric element as a detection element, converts the measured changes into changes in light signals, and then further converts the light signals into electrical signals with the help of photoelectric elements. The photoelectric sensor includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits visible light or invisible light (infrared light), and the receiver receives the corresponding light, and outputs the corresponding signal through the amount of light blocked or reflected by the photoelectric test piece 370.
[0076] It should also be noted that the pushing device 30 can push the product 40 on the vibrating loading platform 10 onto the vibrating plate 120 in multiple times, the specific number of times is set according to actual needs, and the stroke of each movement is different;
[0077] For example, when the pushing device 30 transports the product 40 to the vibration plate 120 in three movements, the three movements are respectively the first target pushing distance, the second target pushing distance and the third target pushing distance, and the time interval between two adjacent movements is the preset time interval, and the specific value is set as needed.
[0078] When the conveying device 20 drives the product 40 from the shelf to the loading sensor, the product 40 triggers the loading sensor to generate a loading electrical signal, and the controller receives the loading electrical signal and controls the vibration loading platform 10 to work according to the loading electrical signal. The pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the first target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the second target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the third target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, and the above process is repeated;
[0079] In addition, the number of photoelectric sensors is three, and the three photoelectric sensors are respectively a near point photoelectric sensor, an origin photoelectric sensor, and a limit photoelectric sensor. The origin photoelectric sensor is located at the second side 150, and the limit photoelectric sensor and the origin photoelectric sensor have a spacing in the width direction. The near point photoelectric sensor and the origin photoelectric sensor are close together, and the near point photoelectric sensor is located between the origin sensor and the limit photoelectric sensor.
[0080] The controller controls the push motor 330 to start, and the push motor 330 runs at a constant speed. When it moves to one end of the lead screw 320, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the limit photoelectric sensor to generate a first induction electrical signal. The controller receives the first induction electrical signal, controls the push motor 330 to reverse, and drives the push rod 350 to move to the initial position; when it moves to the near-point photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the near-point photoelectric sensor to generate a second induction electrical signal. The controller receives the second induction electrical signal and controls the push motor 330 to start decelerating; when it moves to the origin photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the origin photoelectric sensor to generate a third induction electrical signal. The controller receives the third induction electrical signal, controls the push motor 330 to stop working, and the push rod 350 returns to the initial position;
[0081] In summary, the push rod 350 returns to the initial position after movement, thereby preventing the push rod 350 from affecting the subsequent feeding of the product 40, and also preventing the push rod 350 from colliding with the product 40 remaining on the vibration plate 120 after pushing is completed, thereby affecting vibration feeding.

[0097] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 also includes a photoelectric seat 360, a photoelectric test piece 370 and a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391; the photoelectric seat 360 is arranged on the base 310; the photoelectric test piece 370 is arranged on the screw nut seat 340, so that the photoelectric test piece 370 and the screw nut seat 340 move together; a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are arranged on the photoelectric seat 360 and are electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are located on one side of the screw 320; wherein the photoelectric test piece 370 is used to trigger the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induced electrical signal to control the rotation and stop of the pushing motor 330.
[0098] It should be noted that when the photoelectric test piece 370 moves to a photoelectric sensor 391 , the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induction electric signal, and the controller receives the induction electric signal and controls the push motor 330 to stop.
[0099] It should also be noted that the photoelectric test piece 370 is a light-shielding piece. The photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses a photoelectric element as a detection element, converts the measured changes into changes in light signals, and then further converts the light signals into electrical signals with the help of photoelectric elements. The photoelectric sensor includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits visible light or invisible light (infrared light), and the receiver receives the corresponding light, and outputs the corresponding signal through the amount of light blocked or reflected by the photoelectric test piece 370.
[0100] It should also be noted that the pushing device 30 can push the product 40 on the vibrating loading platform 10 onto the vibrating plate 120 in multiple times, the specific number of times is set according to actual needs, and the stroke of each movement is different;
[0101] For example, when the pushing device 30 moves three times to transport the product 40 to the vibration plate 120, the three movements are respectively the first target pushing distance, the second target pushing distance and the third target pushing distance, and the time interval between two adjacent movements is the preset time interval, and the specific value is set according to the needs;
[0102] When the conveying device 20 drives the product 40 from the shelf to the loading sensor, the product 40 triggers the loading sensor to generate a loading electrical signal, and the controller receives the loading electrical signal and controls the vibration loading platform 10 to work according to the loading electrical signal. The pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the first target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the second target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, drives the pushing rod 350 to move to the third target pushing distance and then returns to the initial position; after a preset time interval, the pushing motor 330 starts, and the above process is repeated;
[0103] In addition, the number of photoelectric sensors is three, and the three photoelectric sensors are respectively a near point photoelectric sensor, an origin photoelectric sensor, and a limit photoelectric sensor. The origin photoelectric sensor is located at the second side 150, and the limit photoelectric sensor and the origin photoelectric sensor have a spacing in the width direction. The near point photoelectric sensor and the origin photoelectric sensor are close together, and the near point photoelectric sensor is located between the origin sensor and the limit photoelectric sensor.
[0104] The controller controls the push motor 330 to start, and the push motor 330 runs at a constant speed. When it moves to one end of the lead screw 320, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the limit photoelectric sensor to generate a first induction electrical signal. The controller receives the first induction electrical signal, controls the push motor 330 to reverse, and drives the push rod 350 to move to the initial position; when it moves to the near-point photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the near-point photoelectric sensor to generate a second induction electrical signal. The controller receives the second induction electrical signal and controls the push motor 330 to start decelerating; when it moves to the origin photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the origin photoelectric sensor to generate a third induction electrical signal. The controller receives the third induction electrical signal, controls the push motor 330 to stop working, and the push rod 350 returns to the initial position;
[0105] In summary, the push rod 350 returns to the initial position after movement, thereby preventing the push rod 350 from affecting the subsequent feeding of the product 40, and also preventing the push rod 350 from colliding with the product 40 remaining on the vibration plate 120 after pushing is completed, thereby affecting vibration feeding.
[0106] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the push rod 350 includes a flow prevention section 3501 and a pushing section 3502; the flow prevention section 3501 is parallel to the width direction; the pushing section 3502 is arranged on one end of the flow prevention section 3501 close to the discharge trough 160, and the pushing section 3502 is parallel to the length direction.
[0107] The pushing section 3502 is provided to push the product 40, and the anti-flow section 3501 is provided to prevent the product 40 from flowing from the conveying device 20 into the rear side of the pushing rod when pushing the product 40, thereby avoiding crushing of the product 40 in the process of the pushing rod completing the pushing and returning to the initial position.
[0108] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the length direction is parallel to the X direction, and the length direction is perpendicular to the width direction.

[0120] It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 includes a cylinder, a telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the pushing rod 350, and the pushing rod 350 is driven to move in the width direction by the telescopic rod of the cylinder.
[0121] In some embodiments, the feeding structure further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the vibration feeding platform 10, the conveying device 20, and the pushing device 30 respectively.
[0122] It should be noted that the controller includes but is not limited to a PLC controller (programmable logic controller). The PLC controller has high reliability, strong anti-interference ability, and is easy to operate and maintain. In addition, the specific principles and structures of the PLC controller are current technologies and will not be repeated in this application.
[0123] It should also be noted that the time interval and preset stroke of the pushing device 30 for pushing the product 40 can be controlled by a controller, wherein the specific control process and control principle of the controller are prior art and are not specifically limited in this application. Of course, the time interval of the pushing device 30 for pushing the product 40 can also be set by a timer.
[0124] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 also includes a photoelectric seat 360, a photoelectric test piece 370 and a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391; the photoelectric seat 360 is arranged on the base 310; the photoelectric test piece 370 is arranged on the screw nut seat 340, so that the photoelectric test piece 370 and the screw nut seat 340 move together; a plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are arranged on the photoelectric seat 360 and are electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the plurality of photoelectric sensors 391 are located on one side of the screw 320; wherein the photoelectric test piece 370 is used to trigger the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induced electrical signal to control the rotation and stop of the pushing motor 330.
[0125] It should be noted that when the photoelectric test piece 370 moves to a photoelectric sensor 391 , the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the photoelectric sensor 391 to generate an induction electric signal, and the controller receives the induction electric signal and controls the push motor 330 to stop.
[0126] It should also be noted that the photoelectric test piece 370 is a light-shielding piece. The photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses a photoelectric element as a detection element, converts the measured changes into changes in light signals, and then further converts the light signals into electrical signals with the help of photoelectric elements. The photoelectric sensor includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits visible light or invisible light (infrared light), and the receiver receives the corresponding light, and outputs the corresponding signal through the amount of light blocked or reflected by the photoelectric test piece 370.

When it moves to one end of the lead screw 320, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the limit photoelectric sensor to generate a first induction electrical signal. The controller receives the first induction electrical signal, controls the push motor 330 to reverse, and drives the push rod 350 to move to the initial position; when it moves to the near-point photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric test piece 370 triggers the near-point photoelectric sensor to generate a second induction electrical signal.

[0162] In summary, the push rod 350 returns to the initial position after movement, thereby preventing the push rod 350 from affecting the subsequent feeding of the product 40, and also preventing the push rod 350 from colliding with the product 40 remaining on the vibration plate 120 after pushing is completed, thereby affecting vibration feeding.
[0163] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the push rod 350 includes a flow prevention section 3501 and a pushing section 3502; the flow prevention section 3501 is parallel to the width direction; the pushing section 3502 is arranged on one end of the flow prevention section 3501 close to the discharge trough 160, and the pushing section 3502 is parallel to the length direction.
[0164] The pushing section 3502 is provided to push the product 40, and the anti-flow section 3501 is provided to prevent the product 40 from flowing from the conveying device 20 into the rear side of the pushing rod when pushing the product 40, thereby avoiding crushing of the product 40 in the process of the pushing rod completing the pushing and returning to the initial position.
[0165] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the length direction is parallel to the X direction, and the length direction is perpendicular to the width direction.
[0166] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the pushing device 30 also includes a protective cover 380 and a connecting seat 390; the protective cover 380 is arranged at one end of the base 310 away from the discharge trough 160, and a groove body 3801 is arranged on the top of the protective cover 380; the connecting seat 390 is passed through the groove body 3801 and is connected to the screw nut seat 340, and the connecting seat 390 is movably arranged on the base 310; wherein, the pushing rod 350 is connected to the connecting seat 390, and the pushing rod 350 is located above the protective cover 380.
[0167] By providing the protective cover 380 , the exposed parts of the pushing device 30 are minimized, which not only protects the pushing device 30 , but also improves safety and avoids potential safety hazards.
[0168] It should be noted that an opening is provided on the side of the protective cover 380 close to the feeding vibration platform, and the base 310, the lead screw 320, and the slide rail are inserted into the opening; the base 310 is provided with a slide rail, and the connecting seat 390 is installed on the slide rail.
[0169] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the discharge chute 160 extends in the length direction; wherein the discharge chute 160 is provided with a counting sensor, and the counting sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0170] The discharging chute 160 is provided so that the products 40 can enter the next process one by one through the discharging chute 160, so as to facilitate the next process to process the products 40. The number of products 40 is monitored by providing a counting sensor to confirm the number of remaining products 40 on the vibrating loading platform 10, so as to avoid the products 40 being left out on the vibrating loading platform 10.
[0171] It should be noted that the counting sensor includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor. Since the number of products 40 transported each time by the conveying device 20 is a preset number, when the pushing of the pushing device 30 is completed and the number of products 40 monitored by the counting sensor is less than the preset number, the counting sensor transmits the counting electrical signal to the controller. The controller controls the pushing device 30 to work according to the counting electrical signal, so that the pushing rod 350 moves, so as to push the products 40 that have not entered the vibration disk 120 into the vibration disk 120, and push the products 40 from the inner circle of the vibration disk 120 to the outer circle of the vibration disk 120, thereby avoiding the omission of the products 40 on the vibration loading platform 10; in addition, the counting sensor can also avoid the situation where the product moves to the vibration loading platform but the vibration loading platform is not started successfully. When a product moves from the conveying device to the vibration loading platform, but no product passes through the counting sensor within a certain period of time, the controller outputs a signal to control the start of the vibration loading platform.
[0172] It should also be noted that the width of the discharge chute 160 is set according to the width of the product, and the width of the discharge chute 160 is 2-3 mm larger than the width of the product.
[0173] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the vibration loading platform 10 also includes a support frame 170, a drive motor 180, a vibration feeder and a guide member 190; the drive motor 180 is arranged on the support frame 170, and the output shaft of the drive motor 180 is connected to the vibration plate 120; the vibration feeder is arranged on the vibration plate 120; the guide member 190 is arranged on the support frame 170 and is located above the vibration plate 120, and the guide member 190 is used to guide the product 40 to the discharge trough 160.
[0174] The fixed plate 110 and the rotating plate are installed by setting a support frame 170, the driving motor 180 is used to drive the vibration plate 120 to rotate, and the vibration feeder is used to generate periodic vibration force, so that the products 40 on the vibration plate 120 produce periodic movement, and the guide member 190 is used to vibrate and guide the products 40 in the vibration plate 120 to the discharge trough 160, so that the products 40 can be discharged one by one continuously.
[0175] It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the vibration feeding platform 10 are prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0176] In some embodiments, the conveying device 20 drives the product 40 to move along the length direction.
