Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of parts conveying, and in particular to an automatic staggered feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In a factory's processing line, after workpieces are processed, they are guided by guide plates into corresponding collection baskets for centralized storage and transportation. However, most guide plates are fixed, so multiple workpieces will follow the guide plates to the same location in the collection basket. This results in extremely uneven distribution of the workpieces within the basket, making it difficult to fully utilize the basket's volume.

[0003] In related art, a guide plate can rotate to guide each workpiece to different locations within the collection basket. However, the guide plate must always be tilted relative to the opening of the collection basket to facilitate the drop of the workpieces, which limits the guide plate's rotation range. When the collection basket has a large volume, it is difficult to ensure that the workpieces are evenly distributed within the collection basket. Utility Model Content

[0033] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, an automatic peak-shifting feeding device is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The automatic peak-shifting feeding device includes a collecting component 101 and a stacking component 201.

[0035] Among them, the collecting component 101 is used to hold workpieces, and the stacking component 201 guides the workpieces to the collecting component 101 through a guiding component 202. During the process that numerous workpieces slide down along the guiding component 202 to the collecting component 101, the guiding component 202 moves, so that each workpiece slides to different positions of the collecting component 101, ensuring that the distribution of each workpiece in the collecting component 101 tends to be uniform, avoiding the workpieces from concentrating and piling up at a certain specific position of the collecting component 101, which is beneficial for the collecting component 101 to stably store more workpieces.

[0036] As Figure 2As shown, in some examples, the top opening of the collection component 101 is such that the guiding component 202 is located at the top of the collection component 101 and the guiding component 202 extends within the range of the opening of the collection component 101. It can be understood that when the workpiece slides along the guiding component 202 and disengages from the guiding component 202, the workpiece passes through the top opening of the collection component 101 due to its own gravity and thus slides into the interior of the collection component 101. Specifically, the collection component 101 includes a collection basket.

[0037] Furthermore, the side wall of the collection component 101 is provided with a hollowed-out handle portion through which the staff can carry the collection component 101, enhancing the convenience of transportation.

[0038] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the stacking component 201 includes a guiding component 202 which provides a sliding channel for the workpiece, thereby guiding the workpiece to the collection component 101.

[0039] Among them, the guiding component 202 includes a guiding portion 203 and a movable portion 204. The position of the guiding portion 203 is fixed to determine the overall extension direction of the guiding component 202. The movable portion 204 is movably connected to the guiding portion 203, and the movement direction of the movable portion 204 is the same as the extension direction of the guiding portion 203. When the movable portion 204 moves away from the guiding portion 203, the overall length of the guiding component 202 increases; when the movable portion 204 moves closer to the guiding portion 203, the overall length of the guiding component 202 decreases.

[0040] During the process of workpiece stacking, if the overall length of the guiding component 202 is constant, the workpiece will approximately slide to the same position within the collection component 101 under the action of the guiding component 202. Then, the workpieces at a certain position within the collection component 101 will accumulate too much, while the number of workpieces at other positions is less, causing the stacking height of the workpieces within the collection component 101 to increase rapidly. On the one hand, it is not conducive to the stability of each workpiece within the collection component 101; on the other hand, it results in an uneven distribution of the workpieces within the collection component 101, not fully utilizing the volume of the collection component 101 and reducing the workpiece carrying capacity of the collection component 101.

[0041] However, the guiding component 202 of the present application can change its length. As the length of the guiding component 202 changes, the position where the workpiece slides along the guiding component 202 into the collection component 101 also changes. When the stacking quantity of the workpieces at a certain position within the collection component 101 reaches the set value, the length of the guiding component 202 changes, causing the subsequent workpieces to be stacked at other positions within the collection component 101. The workpieces are evenly distributed throughout the collection component 101, ensuring the stability of the workpieces within the collection component 101 and also facilitating an increase in the workpiece carrying capacity of the collection component 101.

[0042] It can be understood that when the length of the guiding component 202 increases, the workpiece passing through the guiding component 202 tends to slide to a position in the collecting component 101 that is far from the stacking component 201; when the length of the guiding component 202 decreases, the workpiece passing through the guiding component 202 tends to slide to a position in the collecting component 101 that is close to the stacking component 201. Therefore, by regularly changing the length of the guiding component 202, the workpieces can be continuously stacked in the idle positions within the collecting component 101.

[0043] In some examples, in order to enable the movable part 204 to move relative to the guiding part 203, a length adjustment driving component 205 is provided between the guiding part 203 and the movable part 204. The length adjustment driving component 205 includes a fixed end and an output end. The fixed end is connected to the guiding part 203, and the output end is connected to the movable part 204. When the output end of the length adjustment driving component 205 extends, it drives the length of the guiding component 202 to increase; when the output end of the length adjustment driving component 205 retracts, it drives the length of the guiding component 202 to decrease. Specifically, the length adjustment driving component 205 includes a cylinder, and the movable part 204 is provided with a connecting plate, and the output end of the cylinder is connected to the connecting plate. Additionally, in Figure 4 In order to show the output end of the length adjustment driving component 205, the situation of the connection between the output end and the connecting plate is not shown, but in the actual use process, the output end of the length adjustment driving component 205 is connected to the connecting plate.

[0044] In some examples, the stacking component 201 further includes a counting sensor, and the counting sensor is electrically connected to the length adjustment driving component 205. The counting sensor detects the number of workpieces passing along the guiding component 202. When the number of passed workpieces reaches a set value, it indicates that the workpieces have accumulated to the limit value at the current sliding position. At this time, the counting sensor sends a signal to the length adjustment driving component 205, causing the length adjustment driving component 205 to drive the length of the guiding component 202 to change, thereby changing the sliding position of the workpieces. Specifically, the set value of the number of workpieces is set to six, that is, when the counting sensor detects the sixth workpiece passing through, the length of the guiding component 202 is driven to change by the length adjustment driving component 205.

[0045] In some examples, in order to enable the workpiece to automatically slide along the guiding component 202 under its own gravity, the guiding part 203 slopes towards the opening of the collecting component 101, and then the movable part 204 also slopes towards the opening of the collecting component 101 along the extending trend of the guiding part 203.

[0046] Further, to standardize the moving direction of the movable part 204, a first guiding component is provided between the guiding part 203 and the movable part 204. The extending direction of the first guiding component is the same as that of the guiding part 203. Then, when the movable part 204 moves along the first guiding component, the length of the guiding component 202 can be increased or decreased.

[0047] In some examples, the guiding part 203 includes a guiding plate and a first surrounding edge 303. The first surrounding edge 303 is located on the opposite sides of the guiding plate and forms an angle with the guiding plate. At the same time, the movable part 204 includes a movable plate and a second surrounding edge 304. The second surrounding edge 304 is located on the opposite sides of the movable plate and forms an angle with the movable plate. The workpiece slides down along the slopes of the guiding plate and the movable plate into the collecting component 101.

[0048] Further, the distance between the two second surrounding edges 304 is greater than the distance between the two first surrounding edges 303. Then, there is an installation gap between the adjacent first surrounding edge 303 and the second surrounding edge 304, and the first guiding component is installed in the installation gap.

[0049] Specifically, the first guiding component includes a first sliding rail 301 and a first sliding block 302, and the first sliding rail 301 and the first sliding block 302 are slidably connected. The first sliding rail 301 is fixedly arranged on the first surrounding edge 303, and the first sliding block 302 is fixedly arranged on the second surrounding edge 304. Moreover, the extending direction of the first sliding rail 301 is the same as that of the guiding part 203, ensuring that when the movable part 204 moves along the direction of the first sliding rail 301, the overall length of the guiding component 202 can be changed.

[0050] In some examples, due to a large number of workpieces, a single collecting component 101 is difficult to meet the requirement of containing the workpieces. Therefore, several collecting components 101 successively reach the loading position 406 corresponding to the guiding component 202. It can be understood that the loading position 406 is at the bottom of the guiding component 202. When a single collecting component 101 is full, this collecting component 101 moves out of the loading position 406, and the empty collecting component 101 enters the loading position 406 again, thus ensuring the continuous progress of the workpiece containing work.

[0051] Among them, the automatic staggered feeding device further includes a conveying component 401. On the one hand, the conveying component 401 conveys the empty collecting component 101 to the loading position 406; on the other hand, the conveying component 401 conveys the full collecting component 101 out of the automatic staggered feeding device.

[0052] Such as Figure 5As shown, in some examples, the conveying assembly 401 includes an input section and an output section. The input section includes a second conveying member 402, and the second conveying member 402 is horizontally arranged. One end of the second conveying member 402 away from the guiding assembly 202 is set as the input position 404, and one end of the second conveying member 402 close to the guiding assembly 202 is connected to the loading position 406. Then, the second conveying member 402 can convey the empty collection member 101 from the input position 404 to the loading position 406. Specifically, the input section further includes a second rotary driving member 407. The second conveying member 402 includes a conveyor belt, and the second rotary driving member 407 drives the conveyor belt to rotate, so as to transport the collection member 101 on the top of the conveyor belt. Among them, the second rotary driving member 407 includes a motor.

[0053] Further, the output section includes a third conveying member 403, and the third conveying member 403 is horizontally arranged. One end of the third conveying member 403 away from the guiding assembly 202 is set as the output position 405, and one end of the third conveying member 403 close to the guiding assembly 202 is connected to the loading position 406. Then, the third conveying member 403 can convey the full collection member 101 from the loading position 406 to the output position 405. Specifically, the output section further includes a third rotary driving member 408. The third conveying member 403 includes a conveyor belt, and the third rotary driving member 408 drives the conveyor belt to rotate, so as to transport the collection member 101 on the top of the conveyor belt. Among them, the third rotary driving member 408 includes a motor.

[0054] Meanwhile, the conveying assembly 401 further includes a transfer section, which is at the loading position 406 and connects the second conveying member 402 and the third conveying member 403. The empty collection member 101 arrives at the transfer section, that is, the loading position 406, from the input position 404 along the second conveying member 402. When the collection member 101 is full, the collection member 101 arrives at the third conveying member 403 from the transfer section and finally arrives at the output position 405 along the third conveying member 403.

[0055] In some examples, the second conveying member 402 and the third conveying member 403 are vertically distributed, and the second conveying member 402 is at the top of the third conveying member 403. To enable the transfer section to communicate the second conveying member 402 and the third conveying member 403, the transfer section can be height-adjusted. During the continuous height adjustment, the transfer section is at the end of the second conveying member 402 or the third conveying member 403.

[0056] Such as Figure 6As shown in the figure, the transfer part includes a first conveying component 501 and a height adjustment driving component 502. The height adjustment driving component 502 is used to drive the height change of the first conveying component 501, so that the first conveying component 501 receives the second conveying component 402 or the third conveying component 403, ensuring the transfer process of the collecting component 101. Specifically, the height adjustment driving component 502 includes a cylinder.

[0057] Among them, the first conveying component 501 includes a conveyor belt. To drive the conveyor belt to rotate, the transfer part further includes a first rotation driving component 503. Specifically, the first rotation driving component 503 includes a motor.

[0058] In some examples, the transfer part further includes a second guiding component, and the second guiding component guides the movement of the first conveying component 501, enabling the first conveying component 501 to perform longitudinal reciprocating movement.

[0059] Among them, the second guiding component includes a second slide rail 504 and a second slider 505. The second slide rail 504 is erected, the second slider 505 is arranged on the first conveying component 501, and the second slider 505 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 504.

[0060] In some examples, the conveying component 401 further includes a bracket 601. The second conveying component 402 and the third conveying component 403 are installed at different heights of the bracket 601, and the second guiding component is located between the bracket 601 and the first conveying component 501. Specifically, the second slide rail 504 is arranged on the bracket 601.

[0061] In the actual implementation process, the empty collecting component 101 reaches the loading position 406 along the second conveying component 402, and the workpiece slides down along the guiding component 202 to a specific position inside the collecting component 101; when six workpieces are stacked at this position, the counting sensor controls the length adjustment driving component 205 to start, causing the length of the guiding component 202 to change, and subsequent workpieces slide down to other positions inside the collecting component 101. In this way, the workpieces inside the collecting component 101 are evenly distributed; when the current collecting component 101 is full, the collecting component 101 is transferred to the third conveying component 403 under the action of the transfer part, so as to reach the output position 405, and the empty collecting component 101 is replenished to the loading position 406 to continue the work of containing workpieces.

In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present application within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art.
