Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic feeding, and particularly relates to a flexible feeding station. Background Art

[0002] A feeding station is a feeding device. Specifically, according to different feeding principles, feeding stations are collectively referred to as feeding mechanisms such as a robotic arm grasping type feeding station and a suction cup grasping type feeding station.

[0003] In the patent document of a flexible feeding station with the publication number CN220722551 U, it includes a workbench, a feeding mechanism, and a material grasping robotic arm. The material grasping robotic arm is arranged at the center of the workbench. The workbench is of an arc structure. The feeding mechanism is arranged at the end of the workbench. The moving path of the material grasping robotic arm adapts to the arc structure of the workbench. The feeding mechanism includes a bottom plate and a blanking rack. The blanking rack is arranged on the bottom plate. A hopper, a discharging track, and a linear vibrator are arranged in the blanking rack. A discharging port is arranged on the hopper. The discharging track extends to the workbench. The linear vibrator is arranged below the discharging track. A CCD vision detection device is also arranged on the blanking rack to detect whether the discharging track discharges materials. This device can effectively realize the positioning of the material parts and improve the accuracy of material grasping by setting a corresponding CCD vision detection device at the discharging track to detect whether there are material parts discharging, and then realizing material grasping through the material grasping robotic arm. However, the above patent document still has the following defects in the implementation process:

[0004] When this device needs to feed a large number of materials, when a large number of materials vibrate simultaneously, the phenomenon of uneven separation may occur. It is necessary for workers to pour the materials in batches and multiple times. Frequent material pouring not only requires arranging dedicated workers to perform this task, increasing the enterprise's demand for labor and thus raising the labor cost, but also when workers pour the materials, the operation of the feeding station needs to be suspended, interrupting the production process and resulting in a reduction in production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a flexible feeding station to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1. As Figures 1-5 shown, a flexible feeding station includes an operating table 1, a robotic arm 11 is arranged on the top of the operating table 1, a vibrating disk 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1, the vibrating disk 12 is located in front of the robotic arm 11, a feeding bin 13 is arranged on the right side of the vibrating disk 12, a feeding component 2 is arranged at the bottom of the feeding bin 13, and a protection component 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the vibrating disk 12.

[0026] Specifically, in order to achieve the purpose that when feeding a large amount of materials, it is not necessary to arrange special staff to pour the materials in batches multiple times, for the purpose, refer toFigure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 includes a fixed seat 21. The bottom of the fixed seat 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1. A rotating shaft 221 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 21. A first motor 22 is fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed seat 21. The output end of the first motor 22 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft 221. A plurality of striking rods 222 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 221.

[0027] During the implementation process, turn on the first motor 22 to drive the rotating shaft 221 to rotate in the inner wall of the fixed seat 21. While the fixed seat 21 is rotating, it will drive several striking rods 222 to rotate. During the rotation of the striking rods 222, they will contact the bottom of the feeding bin 13. When the striking rods 222 strike the feeding bin 13, the instantaneous impact force will cause the feeding bin 13 to move upward.

[0028] Further, referring to Figure 2 In this embodiment, sliding blocks 233 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the feeding bin 13. Fixed rods 231 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the four sliding blocks 233.

[0029] Further, referring to Figure 2 In this embodiment, support blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the four fixed rods 231. The bottoms of the four support blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1. Limit blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the tops of the four fixed rods 231.

[0030] Further, referring to Figure 2 In this embodiment, springs 232 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the four fixed rods 231. The bottoms of the four springs 232 are fixedly connected to the tops of the support blocks 23 on the same side. The tops of the four springs 232 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the sliding blocks 233 on the same side.

[0031] During the implementation process, when the feeding bin 13 moves upward, it will drive the sliding blocks 233 at the four corners of the bottom to slide on the surface of the corresponding fixed rods 231. While the sliding blocks 233 are sliding, they will pull the springs 232, causing them to deform. When the striking rod 222 no longer contacts the bottom of the feeding bin 13, the deformed springs 232 will pull the feeding bin 13 back to its original position through the sliding blocks 233. By continuously striking the bottom of the feeding bin 13 to make it vibrate, the materials in the feeding bin 13 will be affected by various forces such as inertial force and friction under the action of vibration, thus breaking the static state of the materials and making them start to move to the top of the vibrating disk 12. When feeding a large amount of materials, by controlling the vibration frequency of the feeding bin 13, the materials can be evenly and continuously fed into the top of the vibrating disk 12. This not only eliminates the need to arrange special workers to pour materials in batches multiple times, reducing the enterprise's demand for labor and lowering the labor cost, but also does not require the operation of the feeding station to be suspended multiple times, improving the production efficiency of the device.

[0032] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, a protective component is provided on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0033] Specifically, in order to achieve the purpose of preventing materials from jumping out of the vibrating disk, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the protective component 3 includes two fixed frames 31. One end of each of the two fixed frames 31 close to each other is fixedly connected to the surface of the vibrating disk 12. Both inner walls of the two fixed frames 31 are rotatably connected with a bidirectional threaded rod 33. A second motor 32 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed frame 31 on the left side, and the output end of the second motor 32 is fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional threaded rod 33 on the same side.

[0034] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, belt pulleys 34 are fixedly connected to the backs of both bidirectional threaded rods 33, and a belt 341 is commonly driven on the outer surfaces of the two belt pulleys 34. Two protective plates 353 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the top of the vibrating disk 12.

[0035] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, two connecting blocks 352 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of both protective plates 353. Two moving blocks 35 are threadedly connected to the outer surfaces of both bidirectional threaded rods 33. Rotating rods 351 are rotatably connected to the tops of the four moving blocks 35, and the tops of the four rotating rods 351 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the bottoms of the connecting blocks 352 on the same side.

[0036] During the implementation process, when separating materials at the top of the vibrating disk 12, turn on the second motor 32 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 33 to rotate clockwise. While the bidirectional threaded rod 33 rotates clockwise, it will drive the belt pulley 34 to rotate. The rotation of the belt pulley 34 will drive another bidirectional threaded rod 33 to rotate through the belt 341. When the bidirectional threaded rod 33 rotates clockwise, it will drive the two moving blocks 35 to move away from each other. During the movement of the moving block 35, it will drive the rotating rod 351 to rotate. While the rotating rod 351 rotates, it will push the protective plate 353 to slide upward on the outer surface of the vibrating disk 12 through the connecting block 352, increasing the height of the baffle around the vibrating disk 12. This can not only prevent materials from jumping out of the vibrating disk, causing material loss and on-site mixing, but also the adjustable baffle can be adjusted according to the specific characteristics of the materials, improving the adaptability of the vibrating disk to different materials.

[0037] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: When feeding materials, first place the materials inside the feeding bin 13. Turn on the first motor 22 to drive the rotating shaft 221 to rotate inside the inner wall of the fixed seat 21. While the fixed seat 21 is rotating, it will drive several striking rods 222 to rotate. During the rotation of the striking rods 222, they will contact the bottom of the feeding bin 13. When the striking rods 222 strike the feeding bin 13, the instantaneous impact force will cause the feeding bin 13 to move upward. During the upward movement of the feeding bin 13, it will drive the sliding blocks 233 at the four corners of the bottom to slide on the surfaces of the corresponding fixed rods 231. While the sliding blocks 233 are sliding, they will pull the springs 232, causing them to deform. When the striking rods 222 no longer contact the bottom of the feeding bin 13, the deformed springs 232 will pull the feeding bin 13 back to its original position through the sliding blocks 233. By continuously striking the bottom of the feeding bin 13 to make it vibrate, the materials in the feeding bin 13 will be affected by various forces such as inertia force and frictional force under the action of vibration, thus breaking the static state of the materials and making them start to move to the top of the vibrating disk 12. When feeding a large amount of materials, by controlling the vibration frequency of the feeding bin 13, the materials can be evenly and continuously fed onto the top of the vibrating disk 12. This not only eliminates the need to arrange special workers to pour materials in batches multiple times, reduces the enterprise's demand for labor, and lowers the labor cost, but also does not require the operation of the feeding station to be suspended multiple times, improving the production efficiency of the device. When separating materials on the top of the vibrating disk 12, turn on the second motor 32 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 33 to rotate clockwise. While the bidirectional threaded rod 33 is rotating clockwise, it will drive the belt pulley 34 to rotate. The rotation of the belt pulley 34 will drive another bidirectional threaded rod 33 to rotate through the belt 341. When the bidirectional threaded rod 33 rotates clockwise, it will drive the two moving blocks 35 to move away from each other. During the movement of the moving blocks 35, they will drive the rotating rod 351 to rotate. While the rotating rod 351 is rotating, it will push the protective plate 353 to slide upward on the outer surface of the vibrating disk 12 through the connecting block 352, increasing the height of the baffles around the vibrating disk 12. This can not only prevent materials from jumping out of the vibrating disk, causing material loss and on-site mixing, but also the adjustable baffles can be adjusted according to the specific characteristics of the materials, improving the adaptability of the vibrating disk to different materials.
