DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] 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 embodiments in 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.

[0042] The utility model embodiment provides a parallel feeding mechanism, see Figures 1 to 10 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the parallel feeding mechanism, the parallel feeding mechanism comprises: a track 1, a moving mechanism 2, a separation sheet 3, a transfer mechanism and a first conveyor belt 4;

[0043] The track 1 is provided with a feed position 11, an upper and lower material position 12 and a discharge position 13 in sequence along a first direction, wherein the first direction is the extension direction of the track 1;

[0044] The first conveyor belt 4 is arranged on one side of the track 1;

[0045] The transfer mechanism is used to transfer the tray 7 at the upper and lower material positions 12 to the first conveyor belt 4 or to move the tray 7 transported by the first conveyor belt 4 to the upper and lower material positions 12;

[0046] The first conveyor belt 4 moves the tray 7 to the loading position 6 along the second direction or moves the tray 7 to the transfer mechanism along the third direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction is opposite to the third direction, and the loading position 6 is located on one side of the track 1;

[0047] The moving mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the track 1, and is used to drive the separation plate 3 to move between the feed position 11 and the upper and lower material positions 12, so that the separation plate 3 pushes the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 to move toward the discharge position 13, and at the same time drives the tray 7 of the feed position 11 to move toward the upper and lower material positions 12.

[0048] It should be noted that, since the present application can push the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 to move toward the discharge position 13 through the separation sheet 3, and simultaneously drive the tray 7 of the feed position 11 to move toward the upper and lower material position 12, it can not only avoid the collision between the tray 7 of the upper and lower material position 12 and the tray 7 of the feed position 11 when moving toward the discharge position 13, but also realize the simultaneous transmission of the tray 7 after loading and unloading and the tray 7 of the feed position 11 ( Figures 2 to 3 process), thereby reducing the waiting time of loading position 6 and improving the working efficiency of the production line.

[0049] It is worth noting that the transfer mechanism of the present application can be a robotic arm, or a mechanism composed of other conveying mechanisms that can achieve tray transfer. Technical personnel in this field can choose according to needs.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application is to sequentially provide a feed position 11, an upper and lower material position 12 and a discharge position 13 on a track 1 along a first direction, and arrange the first conveyor belt 4 on one side of the track 1; the transfer mechanism is used to transfer the pallet 7 at the upper and lower material position 12 to the first conveyor belt 4 or move the pallet 7 transported by the first conveyor belt 4 to the upper and lower material position 12, and move the pallet 7 to the upper material position 6 along a second direction or move the pallet 7 to the transfer mechanism along a third direction through the first conveyor belt 4, and make the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction opposite to the third direction, the upper material position 6 located on one side of the track 1, and arrange the moving mechanism 2 on one side of the track 1, and drive the separation plate 3 to move between the feed position 11 and the upper and lower material position 12 through the moving mechanism 2, so that the separation plate 3 pushes the pallet 7 at the upper and lower material position 12 to move to the discharge position 13, and at the same time drives the pallet 7 at the feed position 11 to move to the upper and lower material position 12. Through the above-mentioned parallel loading mechanism disclosed, the separating plate 3 can be driven by the moving mechanism 2 to move between the feeding position 11 and the upper and lower feeding positions 12, and the separating plate 3 can push the tray 7 of the upper and lower feeding positions 12 to move toward the discharging position 13, and at the same time drive the tray 7 of the feeding position 11 to move toward the upper and lower feeding position 12, thereby realizing synchronous transmission of the tray 7 of the upper and lower feeding positions 12 and the tray 7 of the feeding position 11, and then after the tray 7 of the upper and lower feeding positions 12 is transmitted away, it is avoided that the upper and lower feeding positions 12 are waiting for the tray 7 and wasting time. Therefore, the present application can effectively improve the working efficiency of the production line.

[0051] Specifically, track 1 includes: a first slide rail and a second slide rail;

[0052] The first slide rail is arranged in parallel with the second slide rail.

[0053] It should be noted that the track 1 is set as a first slide rail and a second slide rail, and the first slide rail and the second slide rail are set in parallel, so that the tray 7 can slide in the track 1 formed by the first slide rail and the second slide rail, thereby preventing the tray 7 from derailing during the sliding process.

[0054] Preferably, the first slide rail and the second slide rail are L-shaped slide rails.

[0055] Specifically, the moving mechanism 2 is a rodless cylinder.

[0056] It should be noted that the moving mechanism 2 can be set as a rodless cylinder, or it can be other moving mechanisms 2 that can drive the separation plate 3 to move (such as a power assembly consisting of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a screw and a motor), and technical personnel in this field can choose according to needs.

[0057] It is worth noting that if the moving mechanism 2 is a power assembly consisting of a screw and a motor, the screw is connected to the motor in a transmission manner, and the screw is threadedly matched with the separation piece 3. The motor drives the screw to rotate, thereby enabling the separation piece 3 to move along the axial direction of the screw.

[0058] Specifically, the separation sheet 3 includes: a connecting piece 31 and a hook 32;

[0059] The hook 32 is connected to the movable part of the rodless cylinder through the connecting piece 31 , and the hook 32 is used to hook the tray 7 at the feeding position 11 .

[0060] It should be noted that the separation sheet 3 is set as a connecting piece 31 and a hook 32, and the hook 32 is connected to the movable part of the rodless cylinder through the connecting piece 31, so that when the separation sheet 3 moves from the feed position 11 to the upper and lower material positions 12, the tray 7 of the feed position 11 can be hooked by the hook 32, and at the same time, the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 can be pushed to move to the discharge position 13.

[0061] Specifically, the connecting member 31 includes: a first vertical plate 311, a horizontal plate 312 and a second vertical plate 313;

[0062] The first vertical plate 311 and the second vertical plate 313 are arranged on both sides of the horizontal plate 312 to form a groove matched with the track 1. The first vertical plate 311 is used to connect with the movable part of the rodless cylinder, and the second vertical plate 313 is connected with the hook 32.

[0063] It should be noted that the first vertical plate 311 and the second vertical plate 313 are relatively arranged on both sides of the horizontal plate 312 to form a groove that cooperates with the track 1. The first vertical plate 311 is used to connect with the movable part of the rodless cylinder, and the second vertical plate 313 is connected to the hook 32, which can effectively ensure the moving path of the hook 32.

[0064] Further, the transfer mechanism comprises: a second conveyor belt 5 and a lifting mechanism 8;

[0065] The second conveyor belt 5 is movably arranged below the upper and lower material positions 12;

[0066] The height of the first conveyor belt 4 is higher than the height of the track 1;

[0067] The lifting mechanism 8 is arranged below the second conveyor belt 5, and is used to drive the second conveyor belt 5 to rise, so that the second conveyor belt 5 lifts the pallet 7 located at the upper and lower material positions 12, and docks the second conveyor belt 5 with the first conveyor belt 4, or drives the second conveyor belt 5 to descend, so that the pallet 7 located on the second conveyor belt 5 descends to contact with the track 1.

[0068] It should be noted that the second conveyor belt 4 is movably arranged below the upper and lower material positions 12, and the height of the first conveyor belt 5 is set higher than the height of the track 1, and then the lifting mechanism 8 is arranged below the second conveyor belt 5, and the lifting mechanism 8 is used to drive the second conveyor belt 5 to rise. When the second conveyor belt 5 rises to contact with the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12, the lifting mechanism 8 continues to drive the second conveyor belt 5 to rise, so that the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 can be separated from the track 1. When the second conveyor belt 5 rises to the same height as the first conveyor belt 4, the second conveyor belt 5 can be docked with the first conveyor belt 4, or the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 can be connected to the track 1. When the disk is transferred to the second conveyor belt 5, the second conveyor belt 5 can be driven to descend by the lifting mechanism 8. When the second conveyor belt 5 descends to the same height as the track 1, the pallet on the second conveyor belt 5 contacts the track 1. When the lifting mechanism 8 continues to drive the second conveyor belt 5 to descend, the pallet 7 contacts the track 1. Therefore, when the separator 3 drives the pallet 7 at the feed position 11 to move to the upper and lower material positions 12, the pallet 7 at the upper and lower material positions 12 can be driven to rise by the lifting mechanism 8, and the pallet 7 can also be separated from the track 1 and the separator 3. At this time, the separator 3 can return to the feed position 11 under the action of the moving mechanism 2 for the next round of operation.

[0069] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 8 is a cylinder.

[0070] It should be noted that the cylinder refers to a cylindrical metal part that guides the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder. The lifting mechanism 8 of the present application can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other lifting mechanisms that can drive the first conveyor belt 4 to rise and fall. Those skilled in the art can choose according to needs, but the present application preferably uses a cylinder as the lifting mechanism 8.

[0071] Furthermore, the parallel feeding mechanism further comprises: a third conveyor belt 9;

[0072] Track 1 is also provided with a material preparation position 14;

[0073] The third conveyor belt 9 is disposed at the material preparation position 14 of the track 1 , and is used for driving the tray 7 at the material preparation position 14 to move to the material feeding position 11 .

[0074] It should be noted that, by setting a preparation position 14 on the track 1 and setting the third conveyor belt 9 at the preparation position 14 of the track 1 , the tray 7 at the preparation position 14 can be driven by the third conveyor belt 9 to move to the feed position 11 .

[0075] Through the provided conveyor belt 9, the pallet 7 at the preparation position 14 can be moved to the feeding position 11 through the third conveyor belt 9, and then the separation sheet 3 can be driven to move through the moving mechanism 2 to move the pallet 7 at the feeding position 11 to the loading and unloading position 12. At this time, the pallet 7 can be transferred to the first conveyor belt 4 through the transfer mechanism. The first conveyor belt 4 transports the pallet to the loading position 6 for loading. After the loading is completed, the pallet 7 is transported from the loading position 6 to the transfer mechanism again through the first conveyor belt 4. At this time, the transfer mechanism transfers the pallet 7 to the loading and unloading position 12. At the same time, the third conveyor belt 9 drives the next pallet 7 to move from the preparation position 14 to the feeding position 11. At this time, The feed position 11 and the upper and lower material positions 12 are both provided with trays 7. At this time, the separating piece 3 can be driven to move by the moving mechanism 2, so that the separating piece 3 pushes the tray 7 of the upper and lower material positions 12 to move toward the discharge position 13, and at the same time drives the tray 7 of the feed position 11 to move to the upper and lower material position 12, and the transferring mechanism continues to transfer the tray of the upper and lower material position 12 to the upper and lower material position 12, and so on and so forth, so that the tray 7 of the upper and lower material position 12 and the tray 7 of the feed position 11 can be synchronously transmitted, and then after the upper and lower material position 12 is transmitted away by the tray 7, the upper and lower material position 12 is avoided from wasting time waiting for the tray 7. Therefore, the present application can effectively improve the working efficiency of the production line.

[0076] Furthermore, the parallel loading mechanism also includes: a stacking separation mechanism for separating the stacked trays 7 to the preparation position 14 .

[0077] It should be noted that, by providing a stacking separation mechanism for separating the stacked pallets 7 to the material preparation position 14 , one of the pallets 7 can be separated from the stacked pallets for loading.

[0078] It should also be noted that when the stacking separation mechanism separates one of the trays 7 from the stacked trays for loading, it usually separates the bottommost tray 7 from the stacked trays.

[0079] Preferably, the track 1 is also provided with a material unloading position, which is located downstream of the material discharging position 13 .

[0080] Preferably, the parallel loading mechanism further includes: a stacking device for stacking pallets.

[0081] It should be noted that, by providing a stacking device for stacking pallets, the pallets at the discharge position 13 can be collected, effectively reducing the workload of the staff in collecting pallets.

[0082] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
