[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a feeding device 100. The feeding device 100 includes a guiding assembly 10, at least one jaw assembly 20, a first driving member 30, and a second driving member 40. The guiding assembly 10 is located above the carrier 20. The guiding assembly 10 includes a first guiding plate 11 (refer to Figure 2 ), the first guiding plate 11 has a first positioning surface that fits the end face of the product 200, and the first positioning surface is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The product 200 is arranged on the top of the carrier 20 and feeds along the first horizontal direction. At least one jaw assembly 20 (refer to Figure 4 ), each jaw assembly 20 includes two jaws 21 (refer to Figure 4) Two clamping jaws 21 are used to clamp the ends of the product 200. The first driving member 30 is used to drive the clamping jaws 21 to clamp the product 200, and the second driving member 40 is used to drive the guiding assembly 10 and the second driving member 40 to move along the first horizontal direction. Here, the extending direction of the product 200 is set to extend along the first horizontal direction.
[0042] In this embodiment, by providing the guiding assembly 10 and the clamping jaw assembly 20 at the ends of the product 200, that is, the first guiding plate 11 of the guiding assembly 10 is arranged such that its first positioning surface fits against the end surface of the product 200 to perform preliminary positioning of the product 200, and at the same time plays a guiding role during the feeding process of the product 200. The two clamping jaws 21 of the clamping jaw assembly 20 are arranged to clamp the ends of the product 200, capable of providing a stable and uniform clamping force to prevent the product 200 from sliding or displacing during the feeding process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of clamping, and smoothly moving towards the first horizontal direction in cooperation with the guiding assembly 10 under the driving action of the second driving member 40, realizing efficient, accurate and stable feeding of the product 200 by the feeding mechanism.
[0043] In this embodiment, the second driving member 40 is used to drive the guiding assembly 10 to move along the first horizontal direction, enabling the feeding device 100 to adapt to products 200 of different sizes and shapes, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the feeding device 100, and being able to handle various different types of products 200. The first driving member 30 drives the clamping jaws 21 to clamp the product 200, capable of achieving precise clamping control, improving the accuracy and consistency of the clamping process, and at the same time being able to adapt to products 200 of different sizes and shapes, further improving the usage flexibility of the feeding device 100.
[0044] As Figure 2 shown, in a further embodiment, the guiding assembly 10 further includes a second guiding plate 12. The second guiding plate 12 has a second positioning surface that fits against the side surface of the product 200. The second guiding plate 12 and the first guiding plate 11 together form a positioning space for the product 200. In this embodiment, the second positioning surface of the second guiding plate 12 fits against the side surface of the product 200, cooperating with the first positioning surface of the first guiding plate 11, and can perform precise positioning of the product 200 in multiple directions, that is, the product 200 is not only fixed on the end surface but also supported on the side surface, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the product 200 during the entire feeding process and preventing errors caused by side displacement or inclination of the product 200 during the feeding process.
[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning space jointly formed by the second guide plate 12 and the first guide plate 11 can be adjusted according to the size of the product 200, so as to adapt to products 200 of different sizes and shapes, improving the adaptability of the feeding device 100 and enabling it to handle various product 200 specifications. In addition, the multi-faceted positioning support effectively reduces the vibration and movement of the product 200 during the feeding process. The stable positioning helps to reduce production defects caused by vibration and improve the quality of the product 200. The dual-guide plate design of the guide assembly 10 simplifies the adjustment process of the size and positioning of the product 200, making it more convenient for the operator to adjust and reducing the complexity and time cost of manual adjustment.
[0046] As Figure 2 shown, in a further embodiment, the first guide plate 11 includes a first part 111 and a second part 112. The first part 111 is provided with a first positioning surface. The second part 112 is fixedly connected to the second guide plate 12. The guide assembly 10 further includes a reinforcing member 13. The reinforcing member 13 is located on the side of the first guide plate 11 away from the product 200. The reinforcing member 13 is respectively connected to the first part 111 and the second part 112. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 13 is connected between the first part 111 and the second part 112 of the first guide plate 11, providing additional support and rigidity, effectively preventing the guide plate from deforming or bending due to force or vibration, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. That is, with the support of the reinforcing member 13, the first positioning surface maintains higher flatness and stability, thus ensuring more accurate positioning of the product 200 during the feeding process.
[0047] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 13 is arranged to be connected to the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 respectively, ensuring the precise docking between the first part 111 and the second part 112 of the first guide plate 11, enabling the guide plate to be reliably connected to the second guide plate 12, and helping to maintain the overall alignment and functionality of the guide assembly 10. At the same time, the design of the reinforcing member 13 enhances the load-bearing capacity of the guide assembly 10, enabling the guide plate to remain stable when handling larger or heavier products 200.
[0048] As Figure 2 shown, in a further embodiment, the fixing member has a triangular plate structure. In this implementation, setting the fixing member to have a triangular plate structure can provide relatively high support strength to make the connection between the first part 111 and the second part 112 more firm, reducing the risk of structural loosening or deformation, and ensuring the connection between the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 is more stable and reliable. At the same time, the stability and rigidity of the triangular plate can enhance the overall structural stability of the guide assembly 10, reducing the positioning error caused by the deformation or movement of the guide plate, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the product 200.
[0049] In a further embodiment, the feeding device 100 further includes a guide rail 50 and a connecting component 60. The guide rail 50 extends along the first horizontal direction. One end of the connecting component 60 is connected to the guide rail 50, and the other end is fixedly connected to the guiding component 10. In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting component 60 are respectively connected to the guide rail 50 and the guiding component 10, so that the first driving member 30 drives the guiding component 10 to move along the extending direction of the guide rail 50. That is, the guide rail 50 provides an accurate guiding path, ensuring that the guiding component 10 remains stable during movement, reducing errors caused by vibration or friction. The connecting component 60 realizes precise connection with the guiding component 10 through the guide rail 50, so that the guiding component 10 always remains on the set track during movement, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the feeding device 100, ensuring that the product 200 advances along the predetermined path during feeding, and reducing deviation. At the same time, the design of the guide rail 50 increases the overall rigidity of the system, preventing the guiding component 10 from shifting in position or deforming in structure due to external forces. The reliable connection of the connecting component 60 further improves the stability of the entire feeding device 100.
[0050] As Figure 4 shown, in a further embodiment, the connecting component 60 includes a slider 61 and a clamping member 62. The slider 61 is clamped on the top of the guide rail 50. One end of the slider 61 is connected to the guiding component 10. The two ends of the clamping member 62 are respectively connected to the slider 61 and the first driving member 30. In this embodiment, the first driving member 30 is connected to the slider 61 through the clamping member 62, and then connected to the slide rail. The guiding component 10 is connected to the guide rail 50 through the slider 61, so that when the second driving member 40 drives the slider 61 to move along the extending direction of the guide rail 50, it drives the first driving member 30 and the guiding component 10 to move simultaneously along the first horizontal direction, thereby driving the product 200 to move towards the feeding direction, realizing the guiding accuracy of the feeding device 100, and improving the positioning accuracy of the feeding device 100.
[0051] In a further embodiment, the first driving member 30 is a servo motor. In this embodiment, the first driving member 30 is set as a servo motor, which can achieve high-precision position control, ensuring that the clamping jaw 21 and the guiding component 10 can accurately move to the specified position. The programmability of the servo motor allows users to adjust the motion parameters according to different operation requirements, so that the feeding device 100 can adapt to various working conditions and improve the versatility of the equipment.
[0052] In a further embodiment, the second driving member 40 is a pneumatic finger cylinder. In this embodiment, the pneumatic finger cylinder has a fast response time and can perform clamping and releasing operations within a short time, which can improve the feeding efficiency of the feeding device 100. The pneumatic finger cylinder can also provide a stable and appropriate clamping force, which can avoid exerting excessive pressure or damage on the product 200. At the same time, it can also ensure the stability of the product 200 during the clamping process and is applicable to products 200 of various materials and shapes. In addition, when the pneumatic finger cylinder drives the jaw assembly 20, it can maintain the guiding accuracy of the product 200 during the feeding process and ensure that the product 200 always moves along the preset trajectory.
[0053] In a further embodiment, the feeding device 100 further includes a drag chain 70. The drag chain 70 extends along the first horizontal direction and is disposed on the side of the guiding assembly 10 away from the product 200. In this embodiment, the main function of the drag chain 70 is to protect and guide the cables and air pipes. In the feeding device 100, the setting of the drag chain 70 can prevent the cables and air pipes from being worn, twisted or damaged during the movement process, and extend the service life of the feeding device 100. At the same time, the drag chain 70 can ensure that the cables and pipelines are always in an orderly state during the movement of the device and will not be entangled or stuck, ensuring the smooth operation of the guiding assembly 10 and the continuity of feeding.
[0054] In this embodiment, concentrating the cables and air circuits in the drag chain 70 can avoid the exposure of the lines, reduce the potential safety hazards caused by contact or friction, make the whole device cleaner and safer, reduce the shutdown and maintenance frequency caused by line failures, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and improving the overall reliability of the device. In addition, the drag chain 70 can neatly arrange and hide the lines, making the appearance of the feeding device 100 more concise and beautiful.
[0055] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.
[0056] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
