[0028] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 The feeding equipment according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the feeding equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a feeding mechanism 100, a visual positioning mechanism 200, a blanking mechanism 300, a transplanting mechanism 400 and a control system, the feeding mechanism 100 is used to transport materials; the visual positioning mechanism 200 is used to locate the position of the material; the blanking mechanism 300 includes a plurality of blanking components 310, and each blanking component 310 includes a receiving member 311 and a first driving member 312, the receiving member 311 is used to receive and temporarily store the material, and the first driving member 312 is used to receive and temporarily store the material. 2 is connected to the material receiving member 311 and is used to drive the material receiving member 311 to move so as to output the material; the transferring mechanism 400 is used to transfer the material from the feeding mechanism 100 to the material receiving member 311 in sequence, and the transferring path of the transferring mechanism 400 passes through the feeding mechanism 100 and the blanking mechanism 300; the control system, the visual positioning mechanism 200, the transferring mechanism 400 and the blanking mechanism 300 are respectively electrically connected to the control system, and are used to control the multiple first driving members 312 to drive the corresponding material receiving members 311 to move in sequence.

[0030] It can be understood that this feeding equipment includes a feeding mechanism 100, a visual positioning mechanism 200, a blanking mechanism 300, a transplanting mechanism 400 and a control system. When in use, the feeding mechanism 100 first transports the material to the transplanting range of the transplanting mechanism 400, and the visual positioning mechanism 200 locates the position of the material transported by the feeding mechanism 100 and transmits the position information to the control system. The control system controls the transplanting mechanism 400 to pick up the material at the corresponding position and transplant the material to the receiving part 311 in the blanking mechanism 300. The control system controls the driving of a set number of first driving parts 312 in turn, and the corresponding number of receiving parts 311 are driven by the corresponding first driving parts 312, thereby outputting a certain amount of material at the same time, and then the control system continues to control the driving of a set number of other first driving parts 312 to output the set amount of material again; therefore, the feeding equipment of the present application can ultimately achieve the effect of quantitative discharging.

[0031] It is understood that the blanking mechanism 300 further includes a blanking box 320, which includes a receiving port 321 and a discharge port 322 at the upper and lower ends, respectively. The receiving port 321 of the blanking box 320 is set corresponding to the side where each receiving member 311 outputs the material, and the size of the discharge port 322 is smaller than the receiving port 321, so as to be used for outputting a single material. For example, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the feed port of the blanking box 320 corresponds to multiple material receiving pieces 311 at the same time, and the discharge port 322 is smaller than the feed port and is used to output a single material. Therefore, through the setting of the blanking box 320, the different positions where different material receiving pieces 311 output materials can be converted to output to the same position.

[0032] It is understood that the output end of the first driving member 312 is connected to the side of the bottom of the material receiving member 311 away from the material receiving port 321, and is used to drive the material receiving member 311 to rotate so as to pour the material into the material receiving port 321. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving member 312 is connected to the material receiving member 311 and drives the material receiving member 311 to rotate, so that the material receiving member 311 can pour the material into the blanking box 320.

[0033] It is understandable that the material receiving member 311 is a material receiving box, and the upper end of the material receiving box and the side close to the material receiving opening 321 are open. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, by setting the material receiving piece 311 in the form of a material receiving box, except for the open setting at the upper end of the material receiving box and one side close to the material receiving port 321, convex edges are set on the other three sides, thereby limiting the material to a certain extent and preventing the material from falling.

[0034] It is understood that the feeding mechanism 100 is a conveyor belt mechanism for conveying materials along a first direction. Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 is a conveyor belt mechanism, which realizes the transportation of materials along the first direction through the conveyor belt mechanism.

[0035] It is understood that a material stopper 510 is provided above the conveyor belt mechanism, and a material level is formed between the bottom of the material stopper 510 and the upper portion of the conveyor belt mechanism for passing a certain amount of material. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, by arranging a material stop 510 above the conveyor belt mechanism, a material level is formed below the material stop 510 and above the conveyor belt mechanism, so that the material density can be dispersed through the material stop 510 during the conveying process, so that the material stacked near the input end of the conveyor belt mechanism by the material stop 510 will not be conveyed to the picking range of the transplanting mechanism 400 at one time, but will be evacuated through the material stop 510 to facilitate the picking up of the transplanting mechanism 400.

[0036] It is understandable that there are multiple material stoppers 510 and they are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the height of the material level gradually decreases along the first direction. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, by sequentially setting the material blocking members 510 in the conveying direction, the density of the conveyed material is gradually reduced, which not only facilitates the picking up of the transplanting mechanism 400, but also makes the conveying smoother, avoiding the jamming of the material caused by setting a single baffle.

[0037] It is understood that the machine frame 500 is also included, and both ends of the material blocking member 510 are provided on the machine frame 500, and the distance between the material blocking member 510 and the conveyor belt mechanism is adjustable. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the distance between the material blocking member 510 and the conveyor belt mechanism can be adjusted, thereby improving the versatility of the material blocking member 510 to facilitate adaptation to materials of different sizes, and the density of the output material can be adjusted as needed.

[0038] It is understood that the frame 500 is further provided with a sensor 520, the sensing end of the sensor 520 being arranged toward the upper end surface of the conveyor belt mechanism to sense the amount of material on the conveyor belt mechanism. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, when the sensor 520 senses that the density of the material on the conveyor belt is small to a certain extent, an alarm will be issued to prompt that more material needs to be put into the input end of the conveyor belt mechanism.

[0039] It can be understood that the conveyor belt mechanism includes a second driving member 120, a driving roller, a driven roller and a conveyor belt 110. The output end of the second driving member 120 is connected to the driving roller. The conveyor belt 110 is sleeved and transmission-connected to the driving roller and the driven roller. The frame 500 includes a fence 530 surrounding the outer periphery of the conveyor belt 110. A temporary storage bin is formed between the fence 530 and the material blocking member 510 in sequence along the first direction. The second driving member 120 can drive the conveyor belt 110 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions along the first direction. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second driving member 120 of the conveyor belt mechanism can drive the conveyor belt 110 to rotate forward or reverse, thereby shaking the conveyor belt 110 to disperse the materials and facilitate the transplanting mechanism 400 to pick them up. The provision of a fence 530 on the periphery of the conveyor belt 110 can also effectively protect the materials on the conveyor belt 110 and prevent the materials from falling from the conveyor belt 110.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.
