[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The feeding and conveying mechanism of the utility model is implemented as follows:

[0028] A material feeding and conveying mechanism comprises: a mounting base plate 100, a vibration generator 200, a material feeding assembly 300, a material pressing assembly 400, a positioning assembly 500 and a material dividing assembly 600.

The vibration generator 200 is arranged between the feeding assembly 300 and the mounting substrate 100. The upper and lower ends of the vibration generator 200 are respectively connected to the feeding assembly 300 and the mounting substrate 100.

[0030] The vibration generator 200 is a vibration generating device for generating vibration or exciting force and transmitting it to a component or structure. The vibration generator 200 of the utility model adopts a linear feeder, also known as a linear vibration feeder.

[0031] The feeding assembly 300 includes: a feeding bottom plate 320, a left baffle 330 and a right baffle 340. The left baffle 330 and the right baffle 340 are both provided with a plate body arranged in a vertical direction. The upper ends of the plates in the vertical direction of the left baffle 330 and the right baffle 340 are both provided with a feeding support portion 310. The two feeding support portions 310 extend in the front-to-back direction, so that the feeding assembly 300 has a conveying channel arranged in the front-to-back direction.

The material blocking cover 120 is adjustable on the mounting base 100 in the up-down direction, and is provided with a blocking portion 121 extending in the left-right direction to the top of the feeding assembly 300, and the blocking portion 121 extends in the front-back direction.

[0034] The front ends of the left baffle plate 330 and the right baffle plate 340 both extend forward beyond the feeding bottom plate 320 and form a positioning station. The pressing assembly 400 is disposed above the positioning station. The positioning assembly 500 is disposed below the positioning station.

[0035] The material pressing assembly 400 includes: a material pressing piece 410 and a material pressing driving unit 420. The material pressing piece 410 is arranged above the front end of the positioning station. The material pressing piece 410 is provided with a material pressing portion 411, and the front end of the material pressing portion 411 is provided with a material blocking portion 412 extending downward. The material pressing driving unit 420 is provided with a material pressing driving end which is transmission-connected with the material pressing piece 410 and enables the material pressing piece 410 to move up and down relative to the feeding assembly 300.

[0036] The positioning assembly 500 includes a positioning top block 510 and a lifting drive unit 520. The positioning top block 510 is arranged below the positioning station. The upper end of the positioning top block 510 is provided with a positioning portion 511 protruding upward, and the pressing portion 411 is provided with a avoiding groove corresponding to the positioning portion 511. The lifting drive unit 520 is provided with a lifting drive end connected to the positioning top block 510 and enabling the positioning top block 510 to move up and down relative to the feeding assembly 300.

[0037] In order to enable the material to be clamped between the pressing part 411 and the positioning part 511, in this embodiment, the pressing drive unit 420 and the lifting drive unit 520 both use telescopic cylinders. In some other embodiments, the clamping drive component can use a linear drive component such as an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a screw nut drive assembly.

[0038] A material pressing support 110 is mounted at the front end of the mounting substrate 100. The material pressing driving unit 420 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the material pressing support 110 downward.

[0039] In some embodiments, two baffle plates 111 are arranged in front of the positioning station. The two baffle plates 111 are both adjustable and mounted on the material pressing bracket 110, and a material taking gap is provided between the two baffle plates 111.

[0040] The front part of the feeding bottom plate 320 is provided with a material dividing groove 321 which runs through from top to bottom. The material dividing assembly 600 is arranged below the material dividing groove 321. There are two material dividing assemblies 600, and the two material dividing assemblies 600 are arranged in a front-to-back direction. The material dividing assembly 600 includes a material dividing blocking block 610 and a material dividing driving unit 620.

[0041] The two material separation assemblies 600 are both adjustable along the front-to-back direction and mounted on the feeding bottom plate 320, so that the spacing between the two material separation assemblies 600 is adjustable. The spacing between the two material separation assemblies 600 is adjusted to be consistent with the spacing between adjacent materials in the conveying channel, so that a single material can be separated each time and conveyed to the positioning station.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 5 When using the feeding and conveying mechanism of the present invention: first, adjust the spacing between the left baffle plate 330 and the right baffle plate 340, and put the materials forward one by one from the rear end of the feeding assembly 300, and set the materials between the two feeding support parts 310 through the left baffle plate 330 and the right baffle plate 340. The vibration generator 200 works continuously, so that the feeding assembly 300 vibrates continuously, and the materials thereon are continuously conveyed forward. In particular, the blocking part 121 of the blocking cover 120 is cantilevered and is arranged above the feeding assembly 300, so that the materials are confined between the blocking part 121 and the two feeding support parts 310, so as to avoid abnormalities caused by excessive vibration and bounce amplitude of the materials. Then, when the material is transported forward to the material distribution component 600, the material distribution drive unit 620 can drive the material distribution blocking block 610 to extend upward from the bottom of the feeding bottom plate 320 to between the two feeding support plates to block the material, or drive the material distribution blocking block 610 to retract downward. The two material distribution components 600 act in sequence so that a single material is separated from the closely arranged materials each time and transported forward to the positioning station. When the material is transported to the positioning station, the material pressing drive unit 420 and the lifting drive unit 520 respectively drive the material pressing piece 410 and the positioning top block 510 to move toward each other, clamping the material between the material pressing part 411 and the positioning part 511. Through the positioning part 511 and the material blocking part 412, each material can be clamped in the same position, which is convenient for the subsequent automated process to take the material. After the subsequent process clamps the material on the positioning station, the material pressing piece 410 and the positioning top block 510 retract in the up and down directions respectively, and the material is released for removal.
