Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a feeder, in particular to a disc feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Common feeding devices for wafer-like workpieces mainly achieve feeding of wafer-like workpieces through methods such as placement, vibration, and lifting. When feeding wafer-like workpieces through the placement method, it is necessary to manually stack the workpieces neatly, which requires too much manpower and wastes human resources; the vibration method generates a large amount of noise during the operation of feeding wafer-like workpieces; the common feeding device with the lifting method is more suitable for feeding rod-like workpieces due to the limitation of the device space, and when feeding wafer-like workpieces, there are many alarms and the applicability is low.

[0003] Based on the deficiencies of the above-mentioned feeding device for wafer-like workpieces during the operation process, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN106041614A discloses a centrifugal feeding device. This device realizes feeding by setting a disc and an arc-shaped guide plate. Through the rotation of the disc, under the action of centrifugal force and the arc-shaped guide plate, the workpiece slides towards the outside of the fixed hopper and then smoothly enters the guide plate, thus realizing continuous feeding of the workpiece. Summary of the Utility Model

[0084] Optionally, the above-mentioned disk feeding device further includes a first sensor 601 arranged on the connecting rod 303 of the material arranging device, which is used to send a replenishment prompt message or send a replenishment signal to the feeding device after detecting that there is no workpiece 9 on the turntable 4; preferably, the first sensor 601 is located on the side of the connecting rod 303 of the material arranging device close to the feeding device, and can detect in time whether there is still a workpiece 9 on the turntable 4.

[0085] In some alternative embodiments, a material blocking device 7 is provided at a set height above the alignment side 402 of the turntable. The material blocking device 7 has an arc-shaped side surface to prevent the blocked workpiece 9 from deviating too much from the edge area. For the structure of the material blocking device, see Figure 9 As shown, it includes a mounting bracket 701 and a material blocking plate 702. The mounting bracket 701 can be fixed to the outer mounting plate 301 by means of threaded connection or other connection means, and the material blocking plate 702 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 701 by means of threaded connection or other connection means.

[0089] Optionally, the feeding device 8 of the disc further includes a positioning gripper 803 and a second sensor 804. The positioning gripper 803 is located at the end of the straight track of the feeding track 802 to correct the position of the workpiece 9 and perform central positioning on the workpiece 9 reaching the end of the straight track for external mechanisms to pick up. The second sensor 804 is located below the positioning gripper 803 to detect whether there is an external mechanism to pick up.

[0090] The principle of workpiece feeding based on the above disc feeding device is as follows:

[0091] 1) The bin 10 feeds the turntable 4 through the feeding ramp, and the workpiece 9 falls into the feeding side 401 of the turntable. Under the action of the rotating motor 201, the transmission device 202 is driven to move, and further the power is transmitted to the turntable 4 through the turntable connecting piece 5 to drive the turntable 4 to rotate counterclockwise. Taking the arrangement order of the material aligning device 6, the material blocking device 7, and the feeding device 8 shown in this embodiment Figure 1 as an example, the turntable 4 rotates counterclockwise. If the arrangement order of the devices is adjusted, the turntable 4 may also rotate clockwise;

[0092] 2) Under the action of the counterclockwise rotation of the turntable 4, the workpiece 9 passes through the material aligning device 6 from the feeding side 401 of the turntable, and the disordered workpieces 9 are aligned into ordered workpieces 9 and successively enter the aligning side 402 of the turntable;

[0093] 3) The workpiece 9 entering the aligning side 402 of the turntable passes through the material blocking device 7, allowing the first-layer workpiece 9 in the overlapping workpieces 9 to pass through, and the workpieces 9 of the second layer and above are blocked, realizing single-piece feeding. At the same time, the material blocking device 7 is arc-shaped to prevent the blocked workpieces from deviating too much from the feeding direction and guiding them to the edge area of the aligning side 402 of the turntable;

[0094] 4) After being processed by the material aligning device 6 and the material blocking device 7, the workpiece 9 enters the feeding track 802 of the feeding device 8 one by one in an orderly manner and reaches the position of the positioning gripper 803 for central positioning for external mechanisms to pick up the workpiece 9. If a workpiece 9 slightly deviates from the feeding direction, the arc-shaped track on the side close to the center of the feeding track 802 can also make it enter the feeding track 802 without having to rotate again for feeding;

[0095] 5) After the first sensor 601 on the connecting rod 303 of the blanking device detects that there is no workpiece 9 on the circular turntable 4, it sends out a replenishment prompt message or sends a replenishment signal to the feeding device to achieve continuous feeding.

[0096] In the above device of the embodiment of the present utility model, the blanking device has a guiding arc surface to guide the workpiece on the circular turntable to the edge area of the circular turntable, realizing the orderly feeding of the workpiece; the blanking device at the set height can realize the single feeding of the workpiece; the arc track of the feeding track can guide the workpiece slightly deviated from the feeding direction into the track, without the need to rotate again for feeding; based on the functions of the above-mentioned device units, this disc feeding device can realize the single and orderly cyclic feeding of the workpiece, with a simple structure, strong versatility, no need to invest in labor, and perfectly realize automatic feeding.
