[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] The following gives specific embodiments.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , a feeding mechanism for a double-metal connecting plate according to the present utility model includes a double-metal connecting plate vibrating bowl 1 and a linear vibrating feeding mechanism 2. The linear vibrating feeding mechanism 2 includes a linear vibrating track 21. A flipping and clamping mechanism 3 is provided at the conveying outlet end of the linear vibrating feeding mechanism 2. A picking and placing mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the flipping and clamping mechanism 3. The flipping and clamping mechanism 3 includes a base 31. A transmission box 32 is fixedly provided on the base 31. A gear 33 is rotatably provided in the transmission box 32 through a rotating rod. The other end of the rotating rod located outside the transmission box 32 is fixedly provided with a flipping block 34. A limiting block 345 is provided on one side of the flipping block 34. A fixing portion 341 is provided on the flipping block 34. A rack 35 is slidably provided in the transmission box 32. The rack 35 is engaged with the gear 33. A first cylinder 36 for driving the movement of the rack 35 is provided on one side of the transmission box 32. A first abutting portion 3401 and a second abutting portion 3402 are provided on the flipping block 34. The flipping block 34 has two different angular position states. When the first abutting portion 3401 contacts the limiting block 345, the fixing portion 341 on the flipping block 34 is aligned with the discharge port position of the linear vibrating track 21. When the second abutting portion 3402 contacts the limiting block 345, the picking and placing mechanism 4 can clamp the double-metal connecting plate 8.

[0030] A first detection mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the flipping block 34. The first detection mechanism 6 is used to detect whether there is a double-metal connecting plate 8 entering from the outlet of the linear vibrating track 21 in the fixing part 341. The linear vibrating feeding mechanism 2 further includes a second detection mechanism 9 provided at the inlet end of the linear vibrating track 21. The second detection mechanism 9 is used to detect the full-load state of the double-metal connecting plate 8 in the linear vibrating track 21. A clamping rod 343 is movably inserted through the flipping block 34 by a spring 342. The clamping rod 343 is used to fix the double-metal connecting plate 8. A stop block 344 is provided on the flipping block 34 to limit the position of the double-metal connecting plate 8 in the fixing part 341. During operation, the double-metal connecting plate vibrating disk 1 operates to convey the double-metal connecting plate 8 into the linear vibrating track 21 on the linear vibrating feeding mechanism 2. At this time, the fixing part 341 on the flipping block 34 is aligned with the outlet of the linear vibrating track 21, and the double-metal connecting plate 8 enters the fixing part 341. One end of the double-metal connecting plate 8 abuts against the stop block 344. The clamping rod 343 clamps at the fixing point 81 on the double-metal connecting plate 8 under the elastic potential energy of the spring 342. The first detection mechanism 6 detects the double-metal connecting plate 8 in the fixing part 341 to check whether there is a double-metal connecting plate 8. Then the first cylinder 36 operates to drive the rack 35 to move. The rack 35 drives the gear 33 to rotate, and further drives the flipping block 34 to drive the double-metal connecting plate 8 to rotate, so that the angular state of the double-metal connecting plate 8 is rotated to facilitate the clamping operation of the subsequent picking and placing mechanism 4. When the second abutting part 3402 of the flipping block 34 abuts against the limit block 345, the flipping block 34 stops.

[0031] Further, the picking and placing mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 41. One side of the fixed frame 41 is equipped with a first slide rail 42. A second slide rail 43 is slidably assembled on the first slide rail 42. A third cylinder 44 for driving the second slide rail 43 to move is assembled on the first slide rail 42. A mounting seat 45 is slidably assembled on the second slide rail 43. A fourth cylinder 46 for driving the second slide rail 43 to move is assembled on the second slide rail 43. A fifth cylinder 47 is assembled on the mounting seat 45. Two oppositely arranged clamping jaws 48 are assembled at the acting end of the fifth cylinder 47. A groove 481 is formed on the clamping jaw 48, and the position of the groove 481 corresponds to the bump 82. One side of the flipping block 34 is provided with an opening mechanism 5. The opening mechanism 5 is used to open the clamping rod 343 so that it no longer clamps the bimetal connecting plate 8. The opening mechanism 5 includes a second cylinder 51. A push rod 52 is assembled at the acting end of the second cylinder 51. During operation, when the second abutting portion 3402 of the flipping block 34 abuts against the limiting block 345, the second cylinder 51 works to move the push rod 52. The push rod 52 pushes the clamping rod 343 to move. At the same time, the spring 342 is compressed, and the clamping rod 343 no longer clamps the fixed point 81 on the bimetal connecting plate 8. Then the picking and placing mechanism 4 works. The fifth cylinder 47 is moved to directly above the bimetal connecting plate 8. The fifth cylinder 47 works to drive the clamping jaws 48 to clamp the bimetal connecting plate 8. When the clamping jaws 48 clamp the bimetal connecting plate 8 again, the bump 82 on the bimetal connecting plate 8 enters the groove 481 to prevent damage to the bump 82 when clamping the bimetal connecting plate 8. Then the picking and placing mechanism 4 clamps the bimetal connecting plate 8 to the assembly station.

[0032] Further, a limiting mechanism 7 is arranged on one side of the linear vibration feeding mechanism 2. The limiting mechanism 7 is used to limit the position of the bimetal connecting plate 8 in the linear vibration track 21. The limiting mechanism 7 includes a sixth cylinder 71. A clamping rod 72 is assembled at the acting end of the sixth cylinder 71. The clamping rod 72 is adapted to the concave portion 83 on the bimetal connecting plate 8. During operation, when the linear vibration feeding mechanism 2 transports the bimetal connecting plate 8, in order to prevent the bimetal connecting plate 8 from falling off the linear vibration track 21 after the flipping block 34 rotates, when the bimetal connecting plate 8 enters the fixing portion 341, the bimetal connecting plate 8 at the next position is limited by the limiting mechanism 7 and no longer moves. The sixth cylinder 71 works to drive the clamping rod 72 to move. The clamping rod 72 is inserted into the concave portion 83 on the bimetal connecting plate 8 to limit the position of the bimetal connecting plate 8. When the flipping block 34 rotates to the linear vibration track 21 again, the clamping rod 72 leaves the concave portion 83 and stops limiting the bimetal connecting plate 8. The bimetal connecting plate 8 continues to be transported into the fixing portion 341.
