[0031] A feeding device for edge strips, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a loading bin, a fixed frame 101, a rotating mechanism, a control mechanism, a material belt monitoring mechanism 300, two material lifting mechanisms 500 and two locking mechanisms; the rotating mechanism is arranged on the fixed frame 101; the inner side of the fixed frame 101 is a hollow structure, and the two material lifting mechanisms 500 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the hollow structure, one end of the two material lifting mechanisms 500 are connected to the rotating mechanism, and the other end of the two material lifting mechanisms 500 are detachably connected to the fixed frame 101 through a locking mechanism, and the rotating mechanism is used to drive the material lifting mechanism 500; it also includes a baffle 601 for limiting the clamping edge strip 201, the baffle 601 is arranged on the side of the hollow structure, and the baffle 601 is connected to the fixed frame 101 by bolts.

[0032] The material lifting mechanism 500 includes a fixed structure and a material lifting belt 503. The material lifting belt 503 is arranged inside the hollow structure. One end of the material lifting belt 503 is connected to the rotating mechanism through the fixed structure, and the other end of the material lifting belt 503 is detachably connected to the locking mechanism. The material belt monitoring mechanism 300 is used to monitor the position of the material lifting belt 503. The material lifting belt 503 is used to place the clamping strip 201. The upper bin is arranged in front of the fixed frame. After the material lifting belt 503 is lifted, the clamping strip 201 inside the material lifting belt 503 can fall into the upper bin. The rotating mechanism and the material belt monitoring mechanism 300 are both connected to the control mechanism. In this embodiment, the control mechanism is an existing single-chip microcomputer. The material lifting belt 503 enables the clamping strip 201 to be lifted to the required height quickly and smoothly, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire loading process. The combination of the fixed structure and the locking mechanism ensures the stability of the material lifting belt 503, which is not easy to shake or fall off, and ensures the safe transportation of the clamping strip 201. One end of the material lifting mechanism 500 is connected to the rotating mechanism through a fixed structure, and the other end is detachably connected to the fixed frame 101 through a locking mechanism, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, greatly reducing the difficulty and time of maintenance.

[0033] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 401 and a driving motor 402. The rotating shaft 401 rotates with the fixed frame 101. The output end of the driving motor 402 is connected to the rotating shaft 401. The fixed structure is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 401. The driving motor 402 is connected to the control mechanism. Figure 3 As shown, the fixed structure includes a first pressure block 502 and two baffles 501. The end of the material lifting belt 503 is connected and fixed to the rotating shaft 401 through the first pressure block 502. The first pressure block 502 is connected to the rotating shaft 401 through bolts. The two baffles 501 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the material lifting belt 503.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a fixed support rod 701, a second pressure block 703 and a third pressure block 702.

In this embodiment, the material belt sensor 302 is a photoelectric sensor. The material belt monitoring mechanism 300 can monitor the position and state of the material lifting belt 503 in real time to ensure the accuracy and stability of the clamping strip 201 during the lifting and transmission process. Through the feedback of the sensor, the deviation can be discovered and corrected in time to avoid the offset or jamming of the clamping strip 201. The material belt monitoring mechanism 300 detects the material lifting belt 503 through the photoelectric sensor, and can provide high-precision position information. This helps to accurately load the edge strip 201 and improve the reliability of the production process. The material belt monitoring mechanism 300 is linked with the control system, and can automatically adjust the position and movement trajectory of the material lifting belt 503 according to the monitored position information. The automatic adjustment mechanism reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency and the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0036] How this example works

[0037] Step 1: manually place the edge strip 201 on the material lifting belt 503. After the loading is completed, knock one end of the edge strip 201 and place the other end against the baffle 601 to regularize the edge strip 201.

[0038] Step 2: When the feeding signal is received, the drive motor 402 is started. Each time the drive motor 402 rotates, it rotates forward for 1.5 seconds and then reverses for 1 second to tighten and retract the material lifting belt 503, driving the clamping strip 201 on the material lifting belt 503 to pass through the locking mechanism and fall into the feeding bin. The purpose of rotating forward for 1.5 seconds and then reversely for 1 second is to control the amount of material fed by the clamping strip 201 to prevent excessive feeding.

[0039] Step 3: When the material sensor detects the material lifting belt 503, it is determined that the material lifting belt 503 has been completely rolled up and there is no clamping strip 201 on it, and the driving motor 402 is reversed to release the material lifting belt 503. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

[0040] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
