[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting rod, quick-connect interface and U-shaped groove provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the pusher part and the push rod provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of the connecting rod assembly and the movable plate provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a feeding device, including a loading bin 1 and a feeding assembly 2; the aforementioned loading bin 1 is a fully enclosed bin body or a semi-enclosed bin body, wherein the bottom and side periphery of the semi-enclosed bin body are both enclosed; the bottom surface or part of the side surface of the aforementioned loading bin 1 is an openable movable plate 11; the feeding assembly 2 includes a transmission part 21, a pushing part 22 and a driving part 23, the transmission part 21 and the pushing part 22 are both connected to the same driving part 23 and the two are linked, the driving part 23 can drive the movable plate 11 to open through the transmission part 21, and at the same time, the driving part 23 can push the material in the loading bin 1 toward the movable plate 11 through the pushing part 22; the feeding assembly 2 is provided with an installation interface that can be connected to a movable device.

[0033] This embodiment uses a fully enclosed bin or a semi-enclosed bin to transport materials. If the loading bin 1 is a fully enclosed bin, before the movable plate 11 is opened, no matter how the loading bin 1 is tilted or turned over, the materials placed in the loading bin 1 will never leave the loading bin 1, and can be safely moved with the loading bin 1 to the designated position; if the loading bin 1 is a semi-enclosed bin, before the movable plate 11 is opened, the bottom and side of the semi-enclosed bin are in a closed state, which can prevent the materials from leaving the loading bin 1 from the bottom or side of the semi-enclosed bin, and can prevent the loading bin 1 from falling off due to tilting, shaking, etc. when transporting materials. It can be seen that the loading bin 1 can prevent the accidental drop of materials during transportation, improve the safety and reliability of material handling operations, and is suitable for working conditions with complex material transportation conditions, and is also suitable for equipment such as manipulators that are difficult to maintain the handling angle. In addition, compared with directly using a manipulator to grab materials, the loading bin 1 can not only transport block-shaped and bag-shaped materials, but also transport powdered materials, and there is no risk of the manipulator grabbing the packaging bag of the materials.

[0034] This embodiment uses a feeding assembly 2 to feed the material in the loading bin 1. The feeding assembly 2 includes a driving part 23, a transmission part 21 for driving the movable plate 11 to open, and a pushing part 22 for pushing the material in the loading bin 1 toward the movable plate 11; wherein both the transmission part 21 and the pushing part 22 are connected to the driving part 23, and the two operate in linkage. The linkage of the transmission part 21 and the pushing part 22 means that the action of the transmission part 21 to open the movable plate 11 and the action of the pushing part 22 to push the material operate synchronously, so the pushing part 22 can push the material toward the movable plate 11 when the movable plate 11 is opened, so that the material is separated from the bin from the movable plate 11. It can be seen that in order to feed the material, this embodiment simultaneously takes the two measures of opening the movable plate 11 and operating the pushing part 22 to push the material through the same driving part 23, which is conducive to simplifying the operation of the feeding device, and can also use the pushing part 22 to stably and reliably control the timing and rate of material feeding.

[0035] In this embodiment, the movable plate 11 can be arranged on the bottom surface of the loading bin 1, or on the side surface of the loading bin 1. If the movable plate 11 is arranged on the bottom surface of the loading bin 1, the driving part 23 opens the movable plate 11 through the transmission part 21, so that the bottom surface of the loading bin 1 is open, and the material in the loading bin 1 falls downward under the combined action of its own weight and the pushing part 22, so that the material is fed. If the movable plate 11 is arranged on the side surface of the loading bin 1, the driving part 23 opens the movable plate 11 through the transmission part 21, so that at least part of the side surface of the loading bin 1 is exposed, and the material in the loading bin 1 moves toward the side opening of the loading bin 1 under the action of the pushing part 22 until the material leaves the loading bin 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 is provided with a mounting interface that can be connected to a movable device, so the feeding device can be used in combination with the movable device; wherein the movable device can be a movable machine such as a robot arm and a transport vehicle. It can be seen that the feeding device provided in this application can be installed on machines such as a robot arm and a transport vehicle, and can cooperate with these machines to transport materials.

[0037] In summary, the feeding device provided in the present application can be conveniently and quickly connected to movable equipment such as a robot arm and a transport vehicle, and can be used together with the movable equipment to transport and feed materials. When the feeding device provided in the present application is used to transport materials, the materials are stored in a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed loading bin 1, which can ensure the safety of the materials during the transportation process. When the feeding device provided in the present application is used to feed materials, a driving part 23 can simultaneously operate the movable plate 11 and the pushing part 22 to achieve simultaneous opening of the movable plate 11 and pushing out of the materials. This is conducive to simplifying the operation of the feeding device, and is also convenient for using the pushing part 22 to stably and reliably control the material feeding rate. It is suitable for working occasions that need to be used in combination with movable equipment such as a robot arm and a transport vehicle.

[0038] The feeding device provided in the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.

[0039] For reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the transmission part 21 may include a connecting rod assembly, and the driving part 23 may include a push rod 231 and a power device for driving the push rod 231 to reciprocate; one end of the connecting rod assembly is provided with a slidable slider 211, and the other end of the connecting rod assembly is hinged to the movable plate for driving the movable plate to flip and open; in this embodiment, the slider 211 is fixed to the pushing part 22, and the pushing part 22 is provided on the push rod 231 and is slidably installed in the loading bin 1.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the end of the connecting rod assembly provided with the slider 211 can be regarded as the power input end, and conversely, the end of the connecting rod assembly connected to the movable plate can be regarded as the power output end; when the slider 211 slides under the action of an external force, the connecting rod assembly drives the movable plate 11 to flip. The slider 211 can move back and forth along its sliding track, so the connecting rod assembly can drive the movable plate 11 to flip open and flip closed. When the movable plate 11 flips open relative to the other plates of the loading bin 1, the loading bin 1 forms an opening at the location of the movable plate 11. Conversely, when the movable plate 11 flips closed relative to the other plates of the loading bin 1, the movable plate 11 blocks the aforementioned opening, or the aforementioned opening is closed.

[0041] When the feeding device provided by the above embodiment is used to perform the feeding operation, the feeding device is first installed on a movable device such as a robotic arm using the installation interface, and materials are placed in the loading bin 1 at the same time; then, the feeding device is moved to the vicinity of the device to be fed using the robotic arm; then, the driving part 23 is started to make the power equipment drive the push rod 231 to move, so that the push rod 231 drives the pushing part 22 and the slider 211 to slide, and the pushing part 22 slides in the loading bin 1 to push the material. At the same time, the slider 211 transmits power to the movable plate 11, so that the movable plate 11 flips open, so that the pushing part 22 pushes and feeds the material toward the opened movable plate 11.

[0042] In addition to the slider 211, the connecting rod assembly may also include a first transmission rod 213 and a second transmission rod 214; one end of the first transmission rod 213 is hinged to the slider 211, the other end of the first transmission rod 213 is hinged to one end of the second transmission rod 214, and the other end of the second transmission rod 214 is hinged to the movable plate 11; at the same time, the movable plate 11 is also hinged to the remaining plate body of the loading bin 1. In this embodiment, two different parts of the movable plate 11 are respectively hinged to the other end of the second transmission rod 214 and the remaining plate body of the loading bin 1, so that the movable plate 11 is constructed as a flippable flip plate. When the slider 211 slides with the pushing portion 22, the slider 211 transmits power to the movable plate 11 through the first transmission rod 213 and the second transmission rod 214, so that the movable plate 11 flips relative to the remaining plate body of the loading bin 1.

[0043] For reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the movable plate 11 is arranged on the side of the loading bin 1, in other words, the movable plate 11 is one of the side plates of the loading bin 1; the bottom edge of the movable plate 11 is hinged to the wall plate of the loading bin 1, and the middle part of the side of the movable plate 11 is hinged to the second transmission rod 214. When the transmission part 21 is used to drive the movable plate 11, the slider 211 slides from the right side of the loading bin 1 to the left, which can drive the first transmission rod 213 and the second transmission rod 214 to move to the left, and then push the hinge point of the second transmission rod 214 and the movable plate 11 to move to the left. Since the hinge point of the movable plate 11 and the loading bin 1 will not move to the left, the movable plate 11 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge point with the loading bin 1, so that the movable plate 11 is flipped open.

[0044] Usually, when the slider 211 slides to the middle of the length direction of the loading bin 1, the movable plate 11 can be completely flipped open. If the slider 211 continues to slide toward the left side of the loading bin 1, the hinge point of the second transmission rod 214 and the movable plate 11 cannot continue to move to the left, which causes the left end of the second transmission rod 214 to remain stationary but the right end first moves down and then up under the drive of the first transmission rod. In other words, the right end of the second transmission rod rotates around the left end. For the first transmission rod 213, the left end of the first transmission rod and the right end of the second transmission rod are hinged, so the motion characteristics of the left end of the first transmission rod are the same as the motion characteristics of the right end of the second transmission rod; the right end of the first transmission rod is hinged to the slider 211, so the motion characteristics of the right end of the first transmission rod are roughly the same as the motion characteristics of the slider 211.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the push rod 231 of the driving part 23 can move back and forth, so it can drive the movable plate 11 to flip open, and can also drive the movable plate 11 to flip close. Figure 1 For example, when the push rod 231 moves toward Figure 1 When the push rod 231 moves to the left side, the push rod 231 can drive the movable plate 11 to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting rod assembly, so that the movable plate 11 exposes the left opening of the loading bin 1; on the contrary, when the push rod 231 moves to the left side Figure 1 When the push rod 231 moves to the right side of the loading bin 1, the push rod 231 can drive the movable plate 11 to rotate clockwise through the connecting rod assembly, so that the movable plate 11 blocks the left opening of the loading bin 1. The above-mentioned operating characteristics of the movable plate 11 are conducive to the operator to flexibly control the feeding state of the material: it can conveniently and quickly control the feeding rate, and can also stop the material from leaving the loading bin 1 in time when it is necessary to stop feeding.

[0046] In order to improve the feeding effect, on the basis of the above embodiment, when the movable plate 11 is flipped open, the movable plate 11 tilts downward at its maximum rotation angle, which can not only form an outlet for the material to be removed on the side of the loading bin 1, but also act as a guide plate for the material, so that the material slides down along the movable plate 11 tilted downward. Using the movable plate 11 to guide the material to slide down to achieve feeding is conducive to increasing the feeding distance in the horizontal direction and shortening the feeding distance in the vertical direction. The former is conducive to shortening the extension distance of the feeding device in the feeding port of the device to be fed, and the latter is conducive to preventing excessive dust or liquid splashing during feeding.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner surface of the movable plate 11 may be concave downward, and correspondingly, the middle of the movable plate 11 is convex relative to the two sides; the middle of the movable plate 11 is aligned with the middle of its rotation axis. The movable plate 11 is conducive to guiding the material to slide down from the middle of the movable plate 11, avoiding the material deviation and blocking the outlet of the loading bin 1.

[0048] For reference Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the material pushing portion 22 is specifically a material pushing plate 221; the loading bin 1 includes a movable plate 11 and a U-shaped channel 12; the movable plate 11 is assembled at one end of the U-shaped channel 12; the material pushing plate 221 is assembled at the U-shaped channel 12, and when the material pushing assembly is in the initial position, the material pushing plate 221 is at the other end of the U-shaped channel 12. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the loading bin 1 is a semi-enclosed bin body with an exposed top, and the semi-enclosed bin body can be easily disassembled and reassembled, which is conducive to workers adjusting the length of the U-shaped channel 12 according to actual work needs to meet the requirements of loading materials of different capacities.

[0049] For reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above embodiment, the loading bin 1 is a semi-enclosed bin body with an open top. In other words, the bottom and side periphery of the loading bin 1 are closed, and the top of the loading bin 1 is open. The connecting rod assembly includes a slider 211, a pair of first transmission rods 213, and a pair of second transmission rods 214. The slider 211 is horizontally mounted on the top of the U-shaped channel 12 and can slide along the length direction of the U-shaped channel 12. The pair of first transmission rods 213 are respectively connected to the two ends of the slider 211, and the pair of second transmission rods 214 are respectively connected to the two sides of the movable plate 11. The pair of first transmission rods 213 and the pair of second transmission rods 214 are connected one by one. Usually, the pair of first transmission rods 213 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width of the U-shaped channel 12. Similarly, the pair of second transmission rods 214 are also symmetrically arranged on both sides of the width of the U-shaped channel 12.

[0050] For reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 On the basis of the above embodiment, the U-shaped groove 12 includes two groove side walls 121, and a slide groove 122 is provided at the top of each groove side wall 121. The slide groove 122 extends along the length direction of the corresponding groove side wall 121. Since the length direction of the groove side wall 121 can also be regarded as the length direction of the U-shaped groove 12, the slide groove 122 extends along the length direction of the U-shaped groove 12. At the same time, rollers 222 are provided at both ends of the push plate 221, and all the rollers 222 are divided into two groups and are respectively embedded in the two slide grooves 122. It can be seen that the roller 222 can guide the push plate 221 to slide in the U-shaped groove 12, which is conducive to simplifying the installation relationship of the push plate 221 in the U-shaped groove 12. For example, since the roller 222 can satisfy the sliding connection relationship between the push plate 221 and the U-shaped groove 12, multiple edges of the push plate 221 do not need to be close to the U-shaped groove 12, which reduces the processing accuracy requirements of the push plate 221, and can also reduce the difficulty of the push plate 221 in the U-shaped groove 12. It can also prevent the material from being mixed in the installation gap between the push plate 221 and the U-shaped groove 12, causing the push plate 221 to get stuck.

[0051] For reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the mounting interface is specifically a quick-connect interface 3 for connecting a robot arm; in addition, a connecting rod 4 is provided between the feeding assembly 2 and the quick-connect interface 3, and the loading bin 1 and the quick-connect interface 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 4. In this embodiment, the connecting rod 4 can connect the loading bin 1 and the quick-connect interface 3 and increase the distance between the loading bin 1 and the quick-connect interface 3, so as to facilitate the loading bin 1 to be extended into the feeding port of the feeding device alone. Among them, the quick-connect interface 3 can be specifically set as a quick-change disc assembly.

[0052] The feeding device provided in the present application can be used for automatically adding covering agent to the middle hole of the continuous casting platform of the steel plant. When the feeding device provided in the present application is used to automatically add covering agent to the middle hole, the covering agent is usually placed in the loading bin 1 in the form of covering agent bag 01. When the feeding device provided in the present application is used to automatically add covering agent to the middle hole, the operation can be carried out according to the following process:

[0053] (1) The sorting robot grabs a certain number of covering agent packages 01 and places them into the loading bin 1 of the feeding device;

[0054] (2) The main robot uses its mechanical arm to connect to the installation interface of the feeding device, and then moves the loading bin 1 of the feeding device to the middle hole of the continuous casting platform of the steel plant;

[0055] (3) The driving part 23 of the feeding device is started. The driving part 23 operates the movable plate 11 to flip open, and drives the pushing part 22 to push the material in the loading bin 1, so that the material falls from the opening of the loading bin 1 where the movable plate 11 is located, thereby feeding the material into the middle hole of the bag.

[0056] (4) After the feeding is completed, the driving part 23 runs in the reverse direction, causing the movable plate 11 to flip and close and the pushing part 22 to reset. Then the main robot uses its mechanical arm to drive the feeding device back to the initial position and wait for the next operation.

[0057] Of course, the feeding device provided in the present application can also be used for feeding other materials, and the specific operating characteristics when using the feeding device to feed different materials can be adjusted according to the feeding operation requirements of each material.

[0058] The feeding device provided by the present application is described in detail above. The principle and implementation mode of the present application are described in detail using specific examples herein, and the description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
