[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 together. The present utility model provides an automatic feeding device 100 for corner codes of a photovoltaic frame, which is applied to a photovoltaic frame production line and specifically realizes the production steps of automatic feeding of corner codes in the automatic manufacturing of photovoltaic frames.

[0034] The automatic feeding device 100 for corner codes of a photovoltaic frame specifically includes:

[0035] The base 10 is horizontally arranged transversely.

[0036] The rotation and switching mechanism 20 is rotatably arranged on the base 10.

[0037] At least two corner code holders 30 are arranged on the rotation and switching mechanism 20. At least two of the corner code holders 30 are arranged vertically side by side. The corner code holders 30 are used for arranging and loading corner codes; and,

[0038] The pushing mechanism 40 is arranged on the base 10. The pushing mechanism 40 can reciprocate transversely relative to the base 10.

[0039] Wherein, the rotation and switching mechanism 20 can switch the corner code holder 30 to a position corresponding to the pushing mechanism 40.

[0040] Specifically, the base 10 is arranged as a plate-like structure horizontally arranged, which is the installation reference plate for all mechanisms of the device. It can be specifically installed on the machine table of the photovoltaic frame production line according to requirements. The rotation and switching mechanism 20 can rotate relative to the base, that is, it can drive the position of the switching corner code holder 30, including rotating and switching the corner code holder 30 loaded with corner codes to a position corresponding to the pushing mechanism 40, and rotating and switching the empty corner code holder 30 away from the position corresponding to the pushing mechanism 40. The pushing mechanism 40 correspondingly realizes the pushing action of the corner codes in the corner code holder 30 through reciprocating motion, thereby realizing the supply of corner codes.

[0041] Furthermore, the rotation and switching mechanism 20 includes a fixed shaft 21 fixed on the base 10 and a rotating disk 22 rotatably arranged around the fixed shaft 21. At least two of the corner code holders 30 are arranged side by side on the rotating disk 22 and are located on concentric circles relative to the fixed shaft 21. The pushing mechanism 40 is arranged on the fixed shaft 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, the corner code holder 30 is arranged at the concentric circle position of the rotating disk 22 to enable different corner code holders 30 to maintain a fixed position relative to the pushing mechanism 40 after the rotation and switching mechanism 20 rotates, realizing a fixed pushing position. The pushing mechanism 40 is arranged on the fixed shaft 21 to realize a relatively fixed setting with the base 10. The volume range of the pushing mechanism 40 is actually within the rotation and switching mechanism 20 and does not need to occupy an independent space, further optimizing the space utilization.

[0043] Further, the rotating disk 22 is arranged as a ratchet rotating disk. The rotating disk 22 includes a indexing disk 221 uniformly arranged along the periphery. The rotation switching mechanism 20 further includes a ratchet pushing structure 23 and a ratchet limiting structure 24 adjacent to and adapted to the indexing disk 221. The number and position of the angle code cartridges 30 are arranged to correspond to the indexing disk 221. Among them, the ratchet pushing structure 23 provides a driving force for the rotation of the rotating disk 22, and the ratchet limiting structure 24 limits the rotation stroke of the rotating disk 22 to avoid inaccurate feeding positions caused by excessive rotation strokes.

[0044] In this embodiment, by arranging the rotating disk 22 as a ratchet rotating disk and arranging the number and position of the angle code cartridges 30 to correspond to it, accurate rotation switching of the angle code cartridges 30 can be achieved by controlling the quantitative rotation. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the number of ratchet teeth of the indexing disk 221 and the number of angle code cartridges 30 are set to 12 corresponding ones, which not only realizes the loading of more angle codes but also enables the stable switching of the angle code cartridges 30 to ensure stable feeding. In other embodiments, the number of ratchet teeth and the number of angle code cartridges 30 can be changed, such as being set to 8, 10, 15, 18, etc.

[0045] Specifically, the ratchet pushing structure 23 includes a first cylinder 231 and a ratchet swing arm 232 connected to the first cylinder 231.

[0046] Specifically, the ratchet limiting structure 24 includes a second cylinder 241 and a ratchet limiting block 242 connected to the second cylinder 241.

[0047] Further, the rotation switching mechanism 20 further includes a ratchet fork 25 adjacent to and adapted to the indexing disk 221. In this embodiment, the speed of the rotation stroke of the rotating disk 20 is controlled by the fork 25.

[0048] Further, the angle code cartridge 30 includes a bottom wall 31 and a side wall 32 extending upward from the bottom wall 31. A pushing hole 321 corresponding to the pusher 40 is formed at a position of the side wall 32 adjacent to the bottom wall 31, and a discharging hole 322 opposite to the pushing hole 321. In this embodiment, the pusher mechanism 40 corresponds to the positions of the pushing hole 321 and the discharging hole 322. The pusher mechanism 40 reciprocates to push the angle codes in the angle code cartridge 30 out of the discharging hole 322 through the pushing hole 321 to realize the pushing process. Further, the shape of the pusher mechanism 40 also corresponds to that of the pushing hole 321, and its shape corresponds to that of the angle code, so that the reciprocating movement of the pusher mechanism 40 can realize the pushing of a single angle code.

[0049] Specifically, the upper surface of the bottom wall 31 is arranged as a V-shaped surface adapted to the angle code, and the pushing hole 321 and the discharging hole 322 correspond to the upper surface of the bottom wall 31.

[0050] Further, the cross-section of the side wall 32 is substantially C-shaped, and an opening is provided on one side of the side wall 32 corresponding to the discharge hole. In this embodiment, the C-shaped structure with an opening is convenient for observing the loading state of the corner brackets in the corner bracket cassette 30, and at the same time can achieve the light weight of the device. In addition, the side wall 32 is also provided with notches at intervals, which can further optimize the weight of the device.

[0051] Further, it further includes a fixing frame 50 for fixing each side wall 32 in the horizontal direction, and a support rod 60 fixed to the base 10 and supporting the fixing frame 50. In this embodiment, the fixing frame 50 is arranged at the middle position of the corner bracket cassette 30, and the stable support of the corner bracket cassette 30 is realized through the fixing frame 50 and the support rod 60, improving the structural stability of the device.

[0052] Further, it further includes a guiding mechanism 70 corresponding to the discharge hole 321, and the guiding mechanism 70 includes an L-shaped corner bracket track. In this embodiment, after the corner bracket leaves the corner bracket cassette 30, it enters the guiding mechanism 70, and the posture of the corner bracket changes from V-shaped to L-shaped, realizing the mechanical processing step while feeding.

[0053] Further, it further includes a material blocking mechanism 80 corresponding to the discharge hole 321. The material blocking mechanism 80 is used to prevent the corner bracket cassette 30 from shaking and the corner brackets on it from being pushed out together when pushing the corner brackets.

[0054] Further, the height of the material blocking mechanism 80 corresponding to the discharge hole 321 can be adjusted to adapt to corner brackets of different thicknesses.

[0055] Further, the material blocking mechanism 80 includes a third air cylinder 81 and a baffle 82 connected to the third air cylinder 81 and corresponding to the discharge hole 321.

[0056] Further, the pushing mechanism 40 includes a spherical floating joint 41 and a pushing angle steel 42 connected to the spherical floating joint 41. The pushing mechanism 40 reduces vibration and impact through the spherical floating structure 41, improves the connection stability and reliability, and adapts to a certain angular deviation and axial displacement.

[0057] Further, it further includes a material blocking mechanism 80, which is arranged on the side of the corner bracket cassette 30 opposite to the pushing mechanism 40. Among them, the material blocking mechanism 80 includes a third air cylinder 81 and a baffle 82 connected to the third air cylinder 81. The third air cylinder 81 can drive the baffle 82 to move relative to the corner bracket cassette 30 to prevent the corner bracket cassette 30 from shaking or redundant corner brackets from being pushed out.

[0058] Further, it further includes a guiding mechanism 70, which is arranged on the side of the corner bracket cassette 30 opposite to the pushing mechanism 40.

[0059] The specific examples of the control steps of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model are as follows:

[0060] The twelve corner code boxes 30 are filled with the corner codes to be used and placed on the rotating disk 22 of the rotation switching mechanism 20 .

[0061] After the equipment is started, the rotary disk 22 starts to rotate, and the angle code box 30 containing the angle code is rotated to the front of the pushing mechanism 40 in sequence.

[0062] When a corner bracket 30 is aligned with the pusher mechanism 40, the third cylinder 81 in the stopper mechanism 80 activates, driving the baffle 92 to close to the back of the bracket 30 to prevent it from shaking and limit the number of brackets that can be ejected. Subsequently, the pusher mechanism 40 activates, pushing the brackets out of the bracket 30 one by one. The bracket guide mechanism 70 then guides the brackets out in a predetermined arrangement until the bracket 30 is empty.

[0063] The empty corner code box 30 continues to rotate away under the action of the ratchet rotating disk, and the next corner code box 30 loaded with corner codes rotates to the front of the pushing mechanism 40, ready for the next round of feeding.

[0064] The above process is repeated to realize continuous automatic feeding. During this period, the worker can remove the empty corner code box 30 and quickly switch to the corner code box 30 filled with corner codes.

[0065] The utility model provides an automatic feeding device 100 for photovoltaic frame corner codes, wherein a corner code box 30 is arranged to carry the corner codes, a rotary switching mechanism 20 carries the corner code box 30 and rotates to a discharge position, and then a pushing mechanism 40 correspondingly withdraws the corner codes in the corner code box, thereby realizing high automation of corner code feeding. At the same time, the overall structure of the rotary switching mechanism 20 carrying the corner code box has a low space occupation requirement, which reduces the equipment volume, saves equipment space, and increases space utilization. In addition, the equipment has a simple structure and is suitable for application in large-scale industrial production.
