[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a material feeding and conveying device, which includes: a lifting mechanism 100, the lifting mechanism 100 includes a frame 130, a lifting platform 110 and at least two clamping assemblies 150, the lifting platform 110 moves up and down inside the frame 130, a tray 300 is supported on the lifting platform 110, the interior of the frame 130 is divided into a material feeding space 134 and a tray buffer space 135 along the height direction of the device, wherein, the tray buffer space 135 is located above the material feeding space 134, at least two of the clamping assemblies 150 are connected to opposite sides of the frame 130 and are both located in the tray buffer space 135; a translation mechanism 200, the translation mechanism 200 includes a transverse module 210 and a plurality of suction attachments 240, the transverse module 210 extends along the first direction X, one end thereof penetrates into the material feeding space 134, and the other end is arranged outside the frame 130, and the plurality of suction attachments 240 move along the transverse module 210 to transfer materials.

[0026] For the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the extending direction of the horizontal module in the material loading and conveying device is defined as the first direction X, the width direction of the device is defined as the second direction Y, and the height direction of the device is defined as the third direction Z. Among them, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are located in the same plane.

[0027] The material loading and conveying device of the present utility model realizes the transportation of the tray 300 in the height direction through the lifting mechanism 100, and realizes the loading in the horizontal direction through the translation mechanism 200, thereby realizing the multi-directional loading and transfer of materials in the production system. It can not only be adapted to the docking of conventional planar equipment such as conveyor belts, but also be applicable to equipment with different height working surfaces. Thus, on the basis of reducing the occupied space, the material transfer range is greatly improved. Compared with the current conventional transmission equipment, this application has significant advantages such as flexible use, large application range, and high transmission efficiency, and has a broad application prospect in this industry.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 100 further includes a base 120, which is supported on the installation plane and provides an installation platform for the lifting mechanism 100 and the translation mechanism 200. The base 120 is hollow inside, and electric control equipment, driving equipment, etc. are provided inside the base 120. An opening communicating with the outside is provided on the upper surface of the base 120. The lifting platform 110 in the lifting mechanism 100 is connected to the inside of the base 120. The frame 130 is supported on the upper surface of the base 120 and is arranged around the opening. The bottom of the base 120 is provided with feet and universal wheels, where the feet are used to improve the installation stability of the base 120, and the universal wheels are used to adjust the position of the base 120. When the base 120 needs to be transferred, the feet are retracted to ensure that the universal wheels are in contact with the installation surface.

[0029] Furthermore, at least one channel switching module 140 is provided on the base 120. The channel switching module 140 extends along the second direction Y. The frame 130 is slidably connected to at least one of the channel switching modules 140. Thus, the frame 130 can drive the tray 300 inside it to move along the second direction Y. Such a structural setting is on the one hand convenient for the tray 300 to cooperate with the channel switching module 140, and on the other hand also improves the application range and flexibility of the device. In this embodiment, two channel switching modules 140 are included, and the above two channel switching modules 140 are arranged in parallel at intervals along the first direction X on two opposite edges of the bottom surface of the frame 130, thereby ensuring the stability of the frame 130 during the movement process. In other embodiments, the channel switching module 140 can also be set to other numbers or arranged in other positions, and the present utility model does not make specific limitations on this.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 100 further includes a jacking driver and a transmission column 160. One end of the transmission column 160 is connected to the jacking driver, and the other end is connected to the lifting table 110. In this embodiment, the jacking driver is arranged inside the base 120, and the transmission column 160 passes through the opening from inside the base 120. The entire lifting mechanism 100 is used to provide a driving force in the third direction Z for the tray 300, thereby completing the lifting movement process in the height direction. The frame 130 includes a limiting plate 131, and the limiting plate 131 is arranged around the periphery of the frame 130 to restrict the tray 300 inside it in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring that the tray 300 can always move along the third direction Z.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 130 includes a connecting plate 132. The connecting plate 132 is arranged between the material loading space 134 and the tray buffer space 135. The material loading space 134 is used for the translation mechanism 200 to transfer materials in the horizontal direction, and the tray buffer space 135 is used to accommodate the used trays 300. It should be noted that during the actual production process, operators usually place multiple stacked trays 300 on the lifting table 110 at the same time. The tray 300 at the top is the first to perform material transmission. When the tray 300 is stored in the tray buffer space 135, the second top tray 300 performs the next material transmission.

[0032] Furthermore, the frame 130 further includes a detector 133. The detector 133 is connected to the connecting plate 132 and is arranged towards the inside of the frame 130. Based on this, when the detector 133 detects the tray 300, it can pause the movement process of the lifting table 110 and wait for the translation mechanism 200 to transfer materials. Specifically, the detector 133 in this embodiment includes a stop plate that extends and retracts horizontally towards the inside of the frame 130. When the tray 300 is not detected, the stop plate is in a retracted state. When it detects the tray 300, the stop plate extends to limit the tray 300, thereby ensuring that the tray 300 can be stable at this height position. When the tray 300 completes material transfer, the stop plate retracts to allow the tray 300 to continue moving along the third direction Z.

[0033] See Figure 3As shown, after the lifting platform 110 moves to the tray buffer space 135, the tray 300 after material transfer has been completed will be clamped by the clamping mechanism, and will be disengaged from the tray 300 below it after the lifting platform 110 descends. Further, the clamping assembly 150 includes a pushing driver 151, a guiding module 152, and a pressing plate 153. The pushing driver 151 is connected to one end of the pressing plate 153 away from the tray buffer space 135. The guiding module 152 extends along the first direction X, and the bottom of the pressing plate 153 is slidably connected to the guiding module 152. In other embodiments, the clamping assembly 150 can also be configured as other structures such as clamping plates and clamping jaws, and the present utility model does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0034] See Figure 4 As shown, the translation mechanism 200 further includes a sliding plate 220 and an assembly frame 230. The sliding plate 220 is slidably connected to the transverse module 210. The assembly frame 230 is connected to the sliding plate 220, and the transverse module 210 and the assembly frame 230 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the sliding plate 220. The assembly frame 230 moves synchronously with the sliding plate 220 to transfer the materials in the material loading space 134 along the first direction X. Further, a plurality of assembly stations are provided on the assembly frame 230, and a plurality of suction attachments 240 are provided corresponding to the plurality of assembly stations one by one, thereby synchronously transporting a plurality of materials. Further, the translation mechanism 200 in this embodiment can also move up and down along the height direction of the device, thereby enabling it to be applicable to the loading and transmission of devices with different heights.

[0035] This embodiment further includes a control system. The lifting mechanism 100 and the translation mechanism 200 are respectively connected to the control system. During actual use, the operator can perform real-time adjustment on the above-mentioned mechanisms through control, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the device, or can preset parameters for the mechanisms through the control mechanism, thereby improving the automation degree of the device.

[0036] The following describes the specific working process of the material loading and transmission device in this embodiment:

[0037] First, the operator can transfer a plurality of stacked material boxes onto the lifting platform 110 located at the bottom of the frame 130, and then make the material boxes rise synchronously with the lifting platform 110. When the detector 133 detects the material box, its stop baffle extends to stop the movement of the material box. At this time, the translation mechanism 200 moves above the tray 300 to transfer materials, thereby transporting the materials along the first direction X. At this time, the stop baffle makes way, and the tray 300 after material transfer continues to rise along the frame 130 into the tray buffer space 135 and is clamped by the clamping assembly 150. After that, the remaining trays 300 descend to wait for the next loading and transfer process.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment provides a production system, which includes the material loading and conveying device described in Embodiment 1. Further, the production system in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the integration of various machine tool equipment, automated assembly lines, robots, sensors, control systems, and special machinery for fields such as metal processing, plastic molding, and wood processing. These systems may be applied to production environments such as automobile manufacturing, electronic product assembly, and aerospace component processing.

[0040] In summary, for the material loading and conveying device and production system described in the present utility model, the lifting mechanism 100 is used to transport the tray 300 in the height direction, and the translation mechanism 200 is used to perform loading in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing multi-directional loading and transfer of materials in the production system. It can not only be adapted to the docking of conventional planar equipment such as conveyor belts, but also be applicable to equipment with different height working surfaces. Therefore, on the basis of reducing the occupied space, the material transfer range is greatly improved. Compared with the current conventional transmission equipment, this application has significant advantages such as flexible use, large application range, and high transmission efficiency, and has a broad application prospect in this industry.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
