[0033] Buffer foam feeding device, reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a foam loading tray 1, a manipulator 2, a clamping claw assembly 3 and a foam positioning assembly 4; the foam loading tray 1 stores a plurality of stacked foams, and the first foam 5 and the second foam 6 are placed in pairs on the foam loading tray 1; the manipulator 2 drives the clamping claw assembly 3 to move, and the clamping claw assembly 3 includes a lifting rod 31, a lifting platform 32 and a first lifting cylinder 33 and a second lifting cylinder 34 arranged on both sides of the lifting platform 32; the first lifting cylinder 33 drives the third lifting cylinder 35 to lift, and the third lifting cylinder 35 drives the third lifting cylinder 35 to lift. A first clamping cylinder 36 is arranged below the lowering cylinder 35, and the third lifting cylinder 35 drives the first clamping cylinder 36 to rise and fall, and the first clamping cylinder 36 drives the first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 to clamp the first foam 5; the second lifting cylinder 34 drives the fourth lifting cylinder 37 to rise and fall, and the second clamping cylinder 38 drives the third clamping jaw 381 and the fourth clamping jaw 382 to clamp the second foam 6.

[0034] Specifically, the first foam 5 and the second foam 6 are placed in pairs on the foam loading tray 1, and the lifting rod 31 is installed at the end of the manipulator 2, and the lifting rod 31 is driven to lift by the screw rod; after the manipulator 2 drives the clamping jaw assembly 3 to swing to a predetermined position, the first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 are gradually approached to the first foam 5 through the three-stage lifting of the lifting rod 31, the first lifting cylinder 33 and the third lifting cylinder 35 for grabbing the first foam 5. When the first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 move to the two sides of the first foam 5 in an open form, the first clamping cylinder 36 is started and the first clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 are driven to clamp the first foam 5; synchronously, the third clamping jaw 361 and the second clamping jaw 362 are driven to clamp the first foam 5 through the three-stage lifting of the lifting rod 31, the second lifting cylinder 34 and the fourth lifting cylinder 37 for grabbing the second foam 6. The claw 381 and the fourth claw 382 gradually approach the second foam 6. When the third claw 381 and the fourth claw 382 move to both sides of the second foam 6 in an open form, the second clamping cylinder 38 is started and the third claw 381 and the fourth claw 382 are driven to clamp the second foam 6. After the claw assembly 3 synchronously clamps the first foam 5 and the second foam 6, the first foam 5 is lifted by the three-stage lifting system composed of the lifting rod 31, the first lifting cylinder 33 and the third lifting cylinder 35. Synchronously, the second foam 6 is lifted by the three-stage lifting system composed of the lifting rod 31, the second lifting cylinder 34 and the fourth lifting cylinder 37. Then, the manipulator 2 transfers the first foam 5 and the second foam 6 to the foam positioning assembly 4 to prepare for inserting the first foam 5 and the second foam 6 into the computer. The foam loading has a high degree of automation and high efficiency.

[0036] See also Figure 5 In order to clamp the first foam 5 and the second foam 6, anti-slip grooves 7 are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the first clamping jaw 361, the second clamping jaw 362, the third clamping jaw 381 and the fourth clamping jaw 382; barb protrusions 8 are respectively arranged at the lower parts of the inner sides of the first clamping jaw 361, the second clamping jaw 362, the third clamping jaw 381 and the fourth clamping jaw 382, ​​and the barb protrusions 8 can drag the bottom of the first foam 5 and the second foam 6, and the anti-slip grooves 7 can prevent the first foam 5 and the second foam 6 from falling off.

[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to ensure accurate positioning of the first foam 5 and the second foam 6, the foam positioning assembly 4 includes a first X-axis double-slider linear module 41 and a second X-axis double-slider linear module 42 arranged in parallel, a first positioning angle 411 and a second positioning angle 412 are set in the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41, and the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41 drives the first positioning angle 411 and the second positioning angle 412 to approach or move away, a third positioning angle 421 and a fourth positioning angle 422 are set in the second X-axis double-slider linear module 42, and the second X-axis double-slider linear module 42 drives the third positioning angle 421 and the fourth positioning angle 422 to approach or move away, and the first positioning Angle 411 and the second positioning angle 412 form a platform for supporting and positioning the first foam 5, and the third positioning angle 421 and the fourth positioning angle 422 form a platform for supporting and positioning the second foam 6; the first positioning angle 411 includes a horizontal plate 4111 and an L-shaped bending plate 4112, the horizontal plate 4111 supports the bottom surface of the foam, and the L-shaped bending plate 4112 positions one corner of the foam; the second positioning angle 412, the third positioning angle 421 and the fourth positioning angle 422 have the same structure and working principle as the first positioning angle 411, and will not be repeated; the positioning of the foam in the X-axis direction is achieved through the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41 and the second X-axis double-slider linear module 42. In order to realize the positioning of the foam in the Y-axis direction, the foam positioning assembly 4 also includes a first Y-axis double slider linear module 43 and a second Y-axis double slider linear module 44 which are arranged in parallel. The first Y-axis double slider linear module 43 and the second Y-axis double slider linear module 44 are arranged above the first X-axis double slider linear module 41 and the second X-axis double slider linear module 42. The second Y-axis double slider linear module 44 drives the first X-axis double slider linear module 41 and the second X-axis double slider linear module 42 to approach or move away from each other through the first gantry slide 441 and the second gantry slide 442. The bottom of the first gantry slide 441 is fixed to the first X-axis double slider linear module 41, and the second gantry slide 442 is fixed to the first X-axis double slider linear module 41. The bottom of 42 is fixed to the second X-axis double slider linear module 42; the top of the second Y-axis double slider linear module 44 is provided with a slide rail 443, and under the drive of the second Y-axis double slider linear module 44, the first gantry slide 441 and the second gantry slide 442 are moved closer to or farther away from each other along the slide rail 443. To maintain balance, the principle of the first Y-axis double slider linear module 43 is the same as that of the second Y-axis double slider linear module 44. The first Y-axis double slider linear module 43 and the second Y-axis double slider linear module 44 are used to drive the first X-axis double slider linear module 41 and the second X-axis double slider linear module 42 closer to or farther away in the Y-axis direction, thereby realizing the positioning of the foam in the Y-axis direction.

[0038] See also Figure 6, taking the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41 as an example, the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41 includes a motor and a transmission belt 413, the transmission belt 413 rotates around the driving wheel 414 and the passive wheel 415, the first positioning angle 411 is set at the transmission belt 413 on one side of the driving wheel 414 and the passive wheel 415, and the second positioning angle 412 is set at the transmission belt 413 on the other side of the driving wheel 414 and the passive wheel 415. When the transmission belt 413 rotates forward or reverse, the first positioning angle 411 and the second positioning angle 412 are moved closer or farther away. The working principles of the second X-axis double-slider linear module 42, the first Y-axis double-slider linear module 43 and the second Y-axis double-slider linear module 44 are the same as the working principle of the first X-axis double-slider linear module 41, and are not repeated here.
