[0026] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the following will further describe the solutions of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] The present disclosure provides a stringing component feeding device, including:

[0029] Base 1, and the base 1 is of a frame structure;

[0030] Driving motor 2, and the driving motor 2 is arranged on the base 1,

[0031] Cam divider 3, and the cam divider 3 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 2, and the driving motor 2 is used to drive the cam divider 3 to rotate intermittently;

[0032] Tray support base 4, the tray support base 4 includes two positioning toolings 41, and the two positioning toolings 41 are symmetrically arranged on the cam divider 3, and the tray support base 4 is used to place the tray;

[0033] Controller, and the controller is connected to the driving motor 2, and the controller is used to control the rotation of the driving motor 2.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the present disclosure provides a feeding device for catenary components, which is used for automatic feeding in the feeding process. Specifically, it includes a base 1, and the base 1 is used to provide an accommodation space for other devices of the catenary component feeding device. A driving motor 2 is also provided, and the driving motor 2 is arranged on the base 1. The driving motor 2 is connected to a cam divider 3, and the driving motor 2 is used to drive the intermittent rotation of the cam divider 3. Moreover, the cam divider 3 is also connected to a tray support seat 4. The tray support seat 4 includes two positioning jigs 41, and the two positioning jigs 41 are symmetrically arranged on the cam divider 3. A tray is placed on each of the two positioning jigs 41, and various catenary components are placed in the trays. It also includes a controller, and the controller is connected to the driving motor 2. The controller is used to control the rotation of the driving motor 2.

[0035] During use, the controller controls the driving motor 2 to rotate, and the driving motor 2 drives the intermittent rotation of the cam divider 3 and the tray support seat 4 connected to the cam divider 3. Two trays are placed on the tray support seat 4. Through the intermittent rotation of the cam divider 3, non-stop feeding can be achieved. After the materials in the first tray are taken out, the second tray turns to the direction of the picking manipulator, and the picking manipulator can take down the first tray and install the third tray, thus realizing non-stop feeding and ensuring production continuity.

[0036] To limit the movement of the tray, a limiting member 42 is also included. The limiting member 42 is arranged on one side of each positioning jig 41 close to the adjacent positioning jig 41. As Figure 1 shown, a limiting member 42 is arranged on the positioning jig 41. The limiting member 42 is used to prevent the reverse installation of the tray and can limit the installation direction of the tray on the positioning jig 41 to be unique.

[0037] Furthermore, a positioning pin 43 is arranged on the positioning jig 41, and the positioning pin 43 is used to position the tray. A positioning pin hole corresponding to the positioning pin 43 is arranged on the tray. The positioning pin hole and the positioning pin 43 cooperate to quickly position the tray on the positioning jig 41.

[0038] Even further, a full material measurement sensor 5 is also arranged on the upper side of the positioning jig 41. The full material measurement sensor 5 is used to detect whether there is material in the tray, and the full material measurement sensor 5 is connected to the controller. After the tray is placed on the positioning jig 41, the full material measurement sensor 5 will measure whether there is material in the tray and transmit the detected information to the controller. The controller judges whether it is a full material state or an empty material state. When the controller judges that the tray is in an empty material state, the controller can control the driving motor 2 to rotate, and then drive the rotation of the cam divider 3, which can ensure that the tray with material is at the picking position of the picking manipulator, improving work efficiency.

[0039] In addition, a position sensor 6 is also provided on the base 1. The position sensor 6 is used to detect the angular position of the cam divider 3. Then, the rotation angle information obtained by the position sensor 6 is transmitted to the controller, and the controller determines whether the tray support 4 reaches the appropriate position.

[0040] It further includes a brake sensor 7, and the brake sensor 7 is connected to the controller. The brake sensor 7 in this embodiment includes a first brake sensor and a second brake sensor. When the first brake sensor detects the cam, the obtained braking information is transmitted to the controller and the drive motor 2, and the drive motor 2 starts to decelerate. When the second brake sensor detects the cam, the obtained braking information is transmitted to the controller and the drive motor 2, and the drive motor 2 stops working.

[0041] In this embodiment, it further includes a tray status sensor 8. The tray status sensor 8 is connected to the controller. The tray status sensor 8 can obtain the tray information on the positioning fixture 41 and transmit the information to the controller. The controller determines whether there is a tray on the positioning fixture 41. If not, the manipulator can be used to install the tray, thus realizing mechanized operation.

[0042] In addition, it further includes a speed reducer. The input end of the speed reducer is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the output end of the speed reducer is connected to the cam divider 3. In this embodiment, it further includes a speed reducer. The input end of the speed reducer is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the output end of the speed reducer is connected to the cam divider 3. Through the setting of the speed reducer, the torque of the motor can be amplified to achieve the purpose of stably controlling the tray support 4.

[0043] Moreover, a pressing cylinder 9 is also provided on the positioning fixture 41. The pressing cylinder 9 is used to press the tray. The pressing cylinder 9 in this embodiment is provided with a pressing arm. The operation of the pressing cylinder 9 drives the movement of the pressing arm, so that the pressing arm can be pressed on the tray to complete the fixation of the tray.

[0044] Moreover, each positioning fixture 41 is also provided with an identification plate. In this embodiment, each positioning fixture 41 is provided with an identification plate, so as to determine which positioning fixture 41 it is, which is convenient for the workers to load and unload materials.

[0045] When the suspension component feeding device of this embodiment is in use, first place the tray on the tray support seat 4, then position the tray through the positioning pin 43, and then determine the state of the tray on the positioning tooling 41 through the tray state sensor 8. When it is confirmed that there is a tray on the positioning tooling 41, drive the pressing arm to press and fix the tray through the pressing cylinder 9. Then, the full material measurement sensor 5 is used to detect whether there is material in the tray, and the detected information is transmitted to the controller, and the controller determines whether it is in a full material state or an empty material state. When the controller determines that the tray is in an empty material state, the controller can control the driving motor 2 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the cam divider 3, so that the tray with material is in the picking position of the picking manipulator, improving the working efficiency.
