[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] AsFigures 1 to 6 , a feeding tool for a multi-station storage tray of the present utility model, comprising a storage tray 1, a tooling bracket 2, a push rod assembly 3 and a driving assembly 4.

[0028] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the storage tray 1 can be cylindrical and is installed above the upper cross plate 21 at the top of the tooling bracket 2. A plurality of storage grooves 11 are circumferentially and evenly spaced on the storage tray 1. The storage grooves 11 extend vertically and communicate with the upper and lower surfaces of the storage tray 1; the top of the storage groove 11 has a feeding port 111 communicating with the outside, and the bottom has a limiting plate 112. A push rod through hole 113 is provided in the middle of the limiting plate 112; materials 5 can be loaded into the storage groove 11 from the feeding port 111. The storage groove 11 can be used to stack and accommodate the circular materials 5 in sequence. In this embodiment, the material 5 takes the first pole case as an example. Of course, the material 5 can also be other materials such as the second pole case, lithium sheet and diaphragm; thus, the vertical height space can be fully utilized while saving the horizontal space, facilitating the layout of the button battery production line and saving the floor area of the equipment; and the limiting plate 112 is used to limit and prevent the material 5 from falling out of the storage groove 11 downward.

[0029] Refer to Figure 2 , the push rod assembly 3 is installed below the upper cross plate 21; the push rod assembly 3 includes a plurality of push rods 31 that are circumferentially and evenly spaced. Each push rod 31 is vertically aligned with each push rod through hole 113 of the storage tray 1 above the upper cross plate 21, and the upper cross plate 21 is provided with upper cross plate through holes 211 corresponding to the push rod through holes 113 for the push rods 31 to pass through; in this embodiment, the storage tray 1 is provided with 8 storage grooves 11 that are circumferentially and evenly spaced, and the push rod assembly 3 correspondingly has 8 push rods 31, and each push rod 31 corresponds to one of the storage grooves 11.

[0030] The driving assembly 4 is installed and connected to the tooling bracket 2 for driving each push rod 31 of the push rod assembly 3 to move vertically up and down.

[0031] Thus, when the storage tray 1 is filled with materials 5, refer to Figure 6 , the driving assembly 4 can be used to drive each push rod 31 to rise. The push rod 31 can vertically pass through the upper cross plate through hole 211 and then extend into the push rod through hole 113 at the bottom of the storage groove 11, so as to push the material 5 in the storage groove 11 out of the feeding port 111 upward for the equipment in the subsequent process to take; and each push rod 31 is aligned with each storage groove 11. Therefore, when each push rod 31 moves upward once, the synchronous feeding of the materials 5 in all the storage grooves 11 can be realized, achieving the feeding effect of multiple stations and improving the production efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, each storage slot 11 in the storage tray 1 is respectively provided with a side slot 12 that is radially connected to the outer wall of the storage tray 1; the side slot 12 is connected to the top of the storage slot 11 and is not connected to the bottom of the storage slot 11. The side slot 12 is used to supply the filling condition of the optical fiber detection material when automatically loading the storage tray 1.

[0033] The length of the ejector rod 31 can be greater than the depth of the storage slot 11 so as to eject all the materials 5.

[0034] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the storage tray 1 is detachably installed on the upper cross plate 21; therefore, the storage tray 1 can be conveniently replaced.

[0035] Specifically, an installation boss 212 is provided on the upper side of the upper cross plate 21 of the tooling bracket 2, and a positioning hole 213 is recessed in the installation boss 212; a clamping groove 13 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the storage tray 1, and a positioning member 14 protruding downward is provided in the clamping groove 13; when the storage tray 1 is installed, the clamping groove 13 is fitted with the installation boss 212, and the positioning member 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 213 for positioning. By using the positioning cooperation between the positioning member 14 and the positioning hole 213, the through holes 113 of each ejector rod of the installed storage tray 1 can be vertically aligned with the through holes 211 of the upper cross plate 21, ensuring that the ejector rod 31 can accurately extend into the through hole 113 of the ejector rod.

[0036] Thereby, the storage tray 1 can quickly achieve installation alignment. When all the materials 5 in the storage tray 1 are fed to the next process, the empty storage tray 1 can be quickly removed and a full storage tray 1 can be reinstalled to ensure the normal production of the production line and improve production efficiency.

[0037] Such as Figure 5 In this embodiment, a sunken groove 15 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the storage tray 1, a handle rod 161 is provided in the sunken groove 15, and the upper end of the handle rod 161 extends upward out of the sunken groove 15 and is provided with a transverse handle 162. The transverse handle 162 is provided to facilitate the handling of the storage tray.

[0039] Such as Figures 2 to 4, a middle cross plate 22 is provided at intervals below the upper cross plate 21 of the tooling support 2; a lower cross plate 23 is provided at intervals below the middle cross plate 22; several support columns 24 are respectively provided between the upper cross plate 21, the middle cross plate 22 and the lower cross plate 23; in this embodiment, four support columns 24 are vertically provided between adjacent cross plates, and each cross plate is provided to facilitate the installation and fixation of each component.

By providing the housing 25, the components such as the ejector rod assembly 3 and the drive assembly 4 can be shielded and protected without affecting the replacement of the storage tray 1.

[0041] As Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41 and a lead screw assembly 42; of course, the drive assembly 4 can also adopt structures such as telescopic cylinders, gears and racks, etc., and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0042] Specifically, the drive motor 41 of this embodiment is installed below the middle cross plate 22; the lead screw assembly 42 includes a lead screw 421 and a slider 422, the lead screw 421 is installed below the upper cross plate 21, specifically, the upper end of the lead screw 421 is rotatably installed on the upper cross plate 21; the lower end of the lead screw 421 passes through the middle cross plate 22 and is in transmission connection with the drive motor 41; the slider 422 of the lead screw assembly 42 is slidably sleeved on the lead screw 421, and the outside of the slider 422 is fixed at the central through hole 321 of the ejector rod fixing plate 32; the drive motor 41 is installed below the lead screw 421, and is used to drive the lead screw 421 to rotate, driving the slider 422 and the ejector rod fixing plate 32 to move up and down between the upper cross plate 21 and the lower cross plate 23.

[0043] At the same time, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, a photoelectric induction sheet 61 is installed on the ejector rod fixing plate 32, and a photoelectric sensor 62 is provided on the middle cross plate 22; when the ejector rod fixing plate 32 drives the ejector rod 31 to descend completely out of the upper cross plate through hole 211, the photoelectric induction sheet 61 is inserted into the photoelectric sensor 62. In this way, the lifting state of the ejector rod assembly 3 can be identified to avoid excessive descent of the ejector rod assembly 3.
