For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood through specific situations.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6, the automatic feeding and material taking device of the embodiment of the present utility model includes: an installation table 1, provided with a fixed seat 2 for fixing materials; a feeding mechanism 3 arranged on the installation table 1, including a vibration device 31, a feeding box 32 and a material pushing device 33, the vibration device 31 is arranged on the installation table 1, the feeding box 32 is arranged at the upper end of the vibration device 31, the vibration device 31 is used to make the feeding box 32 generate vibration, the material pushing device 33 is arranged at one end of the feeding box 32, and the material pushing device 33 is used to stagger the materials in the feeding box 32; and a material taking mechanism 4 arranged on the installation table 1, including a material sucking device 41, a clamping device 42 and a straightening device 43, the straightening device 43 is arranged at one end of the feeding box 32 for adjusting the position of the materials in the feeding box 32, the material sucking device is arranged at the upper end of the feeding box 32 for sucking materials and placing them into the fixed seat 2, and the clamping device 42 is arranged at the upper end of the feeding box 32 for clamping the materials on the fixed seat 2.

[0025] In the above embodiment, first, when the device is started, the vibration device 31 starts to operate. The vibration device 31 generates a vibration effect through its internal drive mechanism, such as a motor or an electromagnet. This vibration is transmitted to the feeding box 32 installed above it, so that the materials in the feeding box 32 are affected by the vibration force, prompting the materials to move from the feeding box 32 to a specific position, ensuring that the materials can smoothly enter the material taking area. Next, the material pushing device 33 starts to work. After receiving the control signal, it drives the material pushing block 332 to move. The material pushing device 33 pushes the materials out from one end of the feeding box 32. During this process, the materials are staggered and moved to a position convenient for the material taking device to operate. At the same time, the straightening device 43 is also working. The function of the straightening device 43 is to ensure that the materials maintain the correct posture and position during the material pushing process and perform a straightening operation on the materials. When the materials are pushed to the correct material taking position, the material taking mechanism 4 starts to work. The material taking mechanism 4 includes a material sucking device 41 and a clamping device 42. The material sucking device 41 sucks the materials from the feeding box 32 by suction and then accurately places them into the fixed seat 2 on the installation table 1. The clamping device 42 is responsible for clamping the materials on the fixed seat 2 for further processing.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in another embodiment, the vibration device 31 includes a spring base 311 and a contact block 312. The spring base 311 is arranged on the installation table 1, and the contact block 312 is arranged on the spring base 311. The spring base 311 is used to drive the contact block 312 to move up and down.

[0027] In the above embodiments, the spring base 311 is mounted on the mounting table 1. As an elastic support, it can deform under an external force and return to its original shape. The contact block 312 is placed on the spring base 311. When the vibration device 31 is activated, a periodic force is applied to the spring base 311 by an external power source (such as a motor or an electromagnet). This periodic force causes the spring base 311 to vibrate up and down, thereby driving the contact block 312 to vibrate together. Due to the elastic properties of the spring, when subjected to an external force, the spring will compress or elongate and return to its original shape after the external force disappears. This continuous process of compression and recovery causes the spring base 311 and the contact block 312 to move continuously up and down. The contact block 312 may be connected to or in direct contact with the feed box 32 in some way. Therefore, when the contact block 312 vibrates, this vibration is transmitted to the feed box 32. Due to the action of the vibration force, the materials in the feed box 32 will be disturbed, thereby changing their original positions or states, making them easier to flow or move to a predetermined position.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in another embodiment, the pusher device includes a first cylinder 331 and a pusher block 332, and the pusher block 332 is disposed at the power end of the cylinder.

[0029] In the above embodiments, the first cylinder 331 serves as a power source and is responsible for providing the force required for the pushing and pulling actions, while the pusher block 332 is directly responsible for pushing or pulling the materials. When the pusher device starts to work, the first cylinder 331 receives a start signal or a control instruction. According to the instruction, the piston inside the cylinder starts to move. If the instruction is a pushing action, the piston will move forward; if it is a pulling-back action, the piston will move backward. The pusher block 332 is connected to the power end of the cylinder. Therefore, when the piston moves, the pusher block 332 will also move accordingly. If it is a pushing action, the pusher block 332 will push the materials forward, causing them to move from the original position to the next position or the working area; if it is a pulling-back action, the pusher block 332 will return to the initial position.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in another embodiment, the suction device 41 includes a suction head 411, a first slider 412, and a first guiding structure 413. The suction head 411 is fixed to the first slider 412, and the first slider 412 is slidably disposed on the first guiding structure 413.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the suction head 411 is fixed on the first slider 412. The suction head 411 has the adsorption ability and can adsorb materials through negative pressure. The first slider 412 is the support and moving component of the suction head 411. It is slidably arranged on the first guiding structure 413, and the first guiding structure 413 plays the role of guiding and limiting, ensuring that the slider moves along a predetermined trajectory. When the material suction device 41 starts to work, the first slider 412 slides along the first guiding structure 413. This sliding can be in the horizontal direction, vertical direction, or a combination of both. Through the movement of the slider, the suction head 411 can reach the specified position in the material pile to suck the materials.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in another embodiment, the clamping device 42 includes a clamping head 421, a second slider 422, and a second guiding structure 423. The clamping head 421 is fixedly arranged on the second slider 422, and the second slider 422 is slidably arranged on the second guiding structure 423.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the clamping head 421 is fixedly arranged on the second slider 422, so that the movement and positioning of the clamping head 421 are realized through the movement of the second slider 422. The second slider 422 is the connecting component between the clamping head 421 and the second guiding structure 423. It is slidably arranged on the second guiding structure 423, so that the second slider 422 can slide along the second guiding structure 423, thereby driving the clamping head 421 to move. This design enables the clamping head 421 to perform precise positioning and movement within a certain range to meet different clamping requirements. The second guiding structure 423 plays the role of guiding and supporting the second slider 422. It ensures that the second slider 422 can slide along a predetermined path, preventing the deviation or shaking of the slider, thereby ensuring the stability and precision of the clamping device 42.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in another embodiment, the aligning device 43 includes a second cylinder 431, an aligning block 432, and a fixing plate 433. The fixing plate 433 is fixed to the mounting table 1, the second cylinder 431 is fixed to the fixing plate 433, the aligning block 432 is arranged at the power end of the second cylinder 431, and the aligning block 432 faces one side of the feeding box 32.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the fixing plate 433 is the foundation of the entire alignment device 43. It is fixed on the mounting table 1 and provides stable support for other components. The second cylinder 431 is the power source of the alignment device 43. It is fixed on the fixing plate 433 and controls the position of the alignment block 432 through its telescopic movement. The alignment block 432 is a key component of the alignment device 43. It is arranged at the power end of the second cylinder 431 and faces the side of the feeding box 32. When the material slides out of the feeding box 32, the alignment block 432 can quickly move into place under the drive of the cylinder to align the material. After the material is aligned, the clamping device 42 can quickly and accurately clamp the material and transport it to the designated position. This collaborative work can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce errors and losses caused by incorrect material positions.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in another embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 further includes a material box 34, which is communicated with the feeding box 32 and is used for automatically pushing the material into the feeding box 32.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the main function of the material box 34 is to store and supply materials to ensure continuous material supply on the production line.
