[0054] The present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementations. It is understood that the specific implementations described herein are only used to explain the relevant content, rather than to limit the present disclosure. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0055] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0056] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / embodiments shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concept of the present disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of the various embodiments / embodiments can be combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure.
[0057] The use of cross-hatching and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to make the boundaries between adjacent components clear. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific materials, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the components shown, and / or any other characteristics, attributes, properties, etc. of the components. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When the exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, the specific process sequence can be performed in a different order than described. For example, two successively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in an order opposite to the described order. In addition, the same figure numbers represent the same components.
[0058] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "over," "connected to," or "coupled to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or intervening components may be present. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this purpose, the term "connected" may refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.
[0059] For descriptive purposes, the present disclosure may use spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "under," "down," "over," "upper," "above," "higher," and "side (e.g., as in "sidewall")," to describe the relationship of one component to another (other) component as shown in the accompanying drawings. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use, operation, and / or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is turned over, components described as "under" or "beneath" other components or features would subsequently be positioned "over" the other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both the "above" and "below" orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0060] The terms used here are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be restrictive. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one (kind, person)" and "said (the)" are also intended to include plural forms. In addition, when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" and their variations are used in this specification, it is explained that there are stated features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups, but it is not excluded that there are or add one or more other features, integral bodies, steps, operations, parts, assemblies and / or their groups. It should also be noted that, as used here, the terms "substantially", "approximately" and other similar terms are used as approximate terms and not as degree terms, so that they are used to explain the inherent deviations of the measured values, calculated values and / or the values provided that will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0061] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a feeding system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding system of the present disclosure may include: a feeder assembly 100 , a first bracket 200 , a docking device 300 and other components.
[0063] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a feeder assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a feeder assembly from another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the flyer assembly 100 may include a bottom plate 110 and a vertical plate 120, wherein two long strip holes 150 are provided on the bottom plate 110, and the length direction of the long strip holes 150 may be the length direction of the first bracket 200. The lower end of the vertical plate 120 is fixed to the bottom plate 110, and the bottom plate 110 and the vertical plate 120 are both made of materials such as cast iron or steel.
[0065] Moreover, a positioning hole 130 is provided on the vertical plate 120 , and a positioning pin sleeve may be provided in the positioning hole 130 . Meanwhile, a connection interface 140 is also provided on the vertical plate 120 .
[0066] In addition, other structures of the flyer assembly 100 may be similar to the structures of the flyer loader in the prior art, and the present disclosure will not elaborate on them one by one.
[0067] Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of a feeder assembly disposed on a first bracket according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a first bracket according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0068] Figure 6 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the second bracket 310 at another angle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0069] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first bracket 200 includes a length direction, and along the length direction, the first bracket 200 includes a first end and a second end; wherein, the first bracket 200 is used to support the flyback assembly 100, and the flyback assembly 100 is configured to be able to move along the length direction of the first bracket 200 to move from the first end of the first bracket 200 to the second end.
[0070] In a specific embodiment, the first bracket 200 includes two bases 210 arranged in parallel, and each base 210 is provided with a rolling support device 220 , and the rolling support device 220 is used to support the feeder assembly 100 .
[0071] More specifically, the base 210 includes an inner surface, which is the surface that defines the area between the two bases 210, and the rolling support device 220 is arranged on the inner surface. Thus, the flyer assembly 100 of the present disclosure can be rollingly supported by the first bracket 200, thereby reducing the resistance of the flyer assembly 100 when moving on the first bracket 200.
[0072] More specifically, the bottom plate 110 of the flyder assembly 100 can be supported by two rolling support devices 220 , and the bottom plate 110 can be in a substantially horizontal state, thereby facilitating the transport of the flyder assembly 100 to the first bracket 200 or taking it out from the first bracket 200 .
[0073] A guide rib 230 is provided at the upper end of the base 210, and at least a portion of the guide rib 230 is located above the rolling support device 220, and at least a portion of the guide rib 230 is located at the side of the flyer assembly 100, so that the guide rib 230 can be formed as a guide device for the flyer assembly 100 to move, so that the flyer assembly 100 can only reciprocate along the length direction. Moreover, the provision of the guide rib 230 can also prevent the flyer assembly 100 from tipping over.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the first bracket 200 further includes: a limiting device 240, which is fixed to the base 210 to limit the flyer assembly 100 at the second end of the first bracket 200. Specifically, similar to the first bracket 200, the base 210 also includes a first end and a second end, and the limiting device 240 is disposed at the second end of the base 210. When the flyer assembly 100 moves in a direction close to the second end of the first bracket 200 and approaches the second end of the first bracket 200, the limiting device 240 can block the flyer assembly 100, and the flyer assembly 100 will stop at the second end of the first bracket 200.
[0075] More preferably, a positioning pin 250 can be provided on the limiting device 240. When the flyer assembly 100 stops at the second end of the first bracket 200, the positioning pin 250 can be inserted into the positioning hole 130 of the flyer assembly 100 (for example, inserted into the positioning pin sleeve provided in the positioning hole 130), so that the other directions of the flyer assembly 100 are also restricted.
[0076] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The feeding system of the present disclosure further includes: a third driving device 400, which is used to drive the feeder assembly 100 to move along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first bracket 200, or along the direction from the second end to the first end of the first bracket 200.
[0077] That is to say, the third driving device 400 of the present disclosure can drive the flyer assembly 100 to reciprocate along the above-mentioned length direction. In a preferred embodiment, the third driving device 400 can be a rodless cylinder, and an adapter plate is provided on the moving block of the rodless cylinder, and a jacking device 500 is provided on the adapter plate. The jacking device 500 cooperates with the flyer assembly 100 so that the third driving device 400 can drive the flyer assembly 100 to move. In a specific embodiment, the jacking device 500 can be a jacking cylinder.
[0078] Specifically, when the flyer assembly 100 is installed on the first bracket 200, the flyer assembly 100 can be at least partially set on the rolling support device 220. At this time, the lifting device 500 can be controlled to operate so that at least part of the lifting device 500 is inserted into the elongated hole 150, and then the third driving device 400 is operated to drive the flyer assembly 100 to the second end of the first bracket 200.
[0079] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of a docking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the docking device 300 is disposed at the second end of the first bracket 200 in the length direction. When the flyer assembly 100 is located at the second end of the first bracket 200 , the flyer assembly 100 docks with the docking device 300 .
[0081] Specifically, the docking device 300 may include: a second bracket 310 , a first driving device 320 , a joint assembly 330 and other components.
[0082] The second bracket 310 is disposed at the second end of the first bracket 200, and a first driving device 320 is disposed on the second bracket 310. In a preferred embodiment, the first driving device 320 can be a linear motion mechanism such as a slide cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0083] The joint assembly 330 is disposed on the first driving device 320, so that the joint assembly 330 is docked with the connection interface of the flyer assembly 100 through the movement of the first driving device 320. Specifically, when the first driving device 320 drives the joint assembly 330 to approach the flyer assembly 100, the joint assembly 330 can dock with the connection interface 140 of the flyer assembly 100, so that gas and electricity can be supplied to the flyer assembly 100.
[0084] More preferably, the docking device 300 further includes: a second driving device 340 , which is disposed on the second bracket 310 and is used to push the feeder assembly 100 away from the second end of the first bracket 200 and move toward the first end of the first bracket 200 .
[0085] In other words, when the flyer assembly 100 needs to be replaced, the first driving device 320 can be activated first to disconnect the joint assembly 330 from the connection interface 140; then, the lifting device 500 descends and releases the flyer assembly 100. Next, the second driving device 340 is activated to push the flyer assembly 100 away from the second end of the first bracket 200.
[0086] Further, when the flyer assembly 100 leaves the second end of the first bracket 200 and moves a preset distance (the preset distance may be the stroke of the second drive device 340), the lifting device 500 rises, and at this time, the lifting device 500 can contact the end of the bottom plate 110 of the flyer assembly 100. At this time, when the third drive device 400 is activated, the flyer assembly 100 can be pushed to the first end of the first bracket 200. Then, the flyer assembly 100 can be removed by equipment such as AGV and replaced with a new flyer assembly 100.
[0087] In the present disclosure, the first bracket 200 is also provided with an electromagnet 350, so that the flyer assembly 100 is restricted to the second end of the first bracket 200 through the adsorption force provided by the electromagnet 350, that is, through the adsorption of the opposing plate 120 by the electromagnet 350, thereby the flyer assembly 100 of the present disclosure can be firmly held without position changes, so that the flyer assembly 100 can feed more stably.
[0088] In the prior art, in dangerous workstations, when replacing the coil of the feeder, the outer chuck needs to be manually removed, the used coil is removed from the air shaft, and the new coil is installed on the air shaft, and the outer chuck is clamped to the outer end face of the coil. Then the film is pulled out, passed around the guide shaft, tensioning shaft, and material-dispensing blade, and finally clamped to the bottom mold reel shaft. The reel shaft moves forward to tension the film in the guide, and the feeder's coil is replaced. This operation takes at least 15-20 minutes in actual operation. During this period, the equipment needs to be shut down, otherwise it may cause danger to the operator.
[0089] In the present disclosure, by directly replacing the feeder assembly, the time consumption is shorter. Moreover, when the feeding system of the present disclosure is used, two feeding systems can be arranged side by side, and one of the feeding systems replaces the feeder assembly of the other feeding system during the feeding operation, and then when the feeder assembly in the current feeding system needs to be replaced, the feeding is switched to the other feeding system, and the feeder assembly of the current feeding system is replaced. Therefore, the feeding system of the present disclosure can be applied to unmanned workshops, and can realize uninterrupted feeding, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0090] The replaced feeder assembly will be transported to a safe area, where the operator will replace the coil and wait for the next feeder assembly replacement.
