[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 1The structural diagram of the automatic feeding device in one embodiment of the present application is shown. The automatic feeding device provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a frame 100, a feeding cart 200, a driving mechanism 300, a feeding mechanism 400 and a detection mechanism 500. The interior of the frame 100 is provided with a feeding area 100A, and one side of the frame 100 is provided with a feeding inlet 100B, and the feeding inlet 100B is connected to the feeding area 100A. The bottom of the feeding cart 200 is provided with wheels 220, which can push the feeding cart 200 to slide. The feeding cart 200 is used to load the feeding parts 20 and transport them to the feeding area 100A through the feeding inlet 100B. The driving mechanism 300 is installed on the upper part of the frame 100, one end of the driving mechanism 300 covers the feeding area 100A, and the other end of the driving mechanism 300 extends out of the frame 100. The feeding mechanism 400 includes a feeding clamp 410, which is connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 300. The detection mechanism 500 is provided on the frame 100 and is used to detect whether the feeding vehicle 200 or a worker is located in the feeding area 100A. In an exemplary embodiment, the feeding member 20 is a gear.
[0041] In the automatic loading device described in the embodiment of the present application, the loading piece 20 is placed in the feeding cart 200, and then the staff can transfer the feeding cart 200 to the feeding area 100A of the frame 100 through the feeding inlet 100B. The driving mechanism 300 is installed on the upper part of the frame 100, and the output end of the driving mechanism 300 is connected to the loading clamp 410, and the moving range of the driving mechanism 300 covers the feeding area 100A and the outside of the frame 100, so that the driving mechanism 300 drives the loading clamp 410 to automatically clamp the loading piece 20, and then transfer it to the next workstation, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic loading and improving production efficiency.
[0042] The automatic loading device described in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a detection mechanism 500 on the frame 100, when the staff transfers the feeding cart 200 and enters the feeding area 100A, the detection mechanism 500 can detect the entry of the staff, thereby controlling the driving mechanism 300 and the loading mechanism 400 to stop action to avoid colliding with the staff. Furthermore, it can also detect whether the feeding cart 200 is placed in place to avoid clamping errors of the loading mechanism 400, and has the advantages of good clamping accuracy and high safety of use.
[0043] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 3A structural diagram of an automatic loading device in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the automatic loading device 10 further includes an automatic guided vehicle 600, which is detachably connected to the feeding vehicle 200, and the automatic guided vehicle 600 is used to automatically transfer the feeding vehicle 200. Specifically, the automatic guided vehicle 600 is an AGV, which is an industrial vehicle that can automatically drive according to a set route or tow the feeding vehicle 200 to the designated feeding area 100A. Through the automatic guided vehicle 600, the feeding vehicle 200 with the loading parts 20 placed thereon can be automatically transferred to the feeding area 100A for loading, thereby eliminating the need for staff to transfer, and can work automatically 24 hours a day, which can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of transporting the feeding vehicle 200.
[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the detection mechanism 500 includes a first induction sensor 510 and a second induction sensor 520. The first induction sensor 510 and the second induction sensor 520 are respectively arranged on both sides of the feeding inlet 100B, and the induction rays of the first induction sensor 510 and the induction rays of the second induction sensor 520 intersect on the mid-vertical line between the two. By intersecting the induction rays of the first induction sensor 510 and the second induction sensor 520 and symmetrically arranging them, since the feeding cart 200 and the feeding area 100A are rectangular, and the feeding cart 200 is embedded in the feeding area 100A of the frame 100, when the automatic guided vehicle 600 drives the feeding cart 200 for transportation, the side of the automatic guided vehicle 600 will synchronously contact the induction rays of the first induction sensor 510 and the second induction sensor 520, thereby determining that there are no staff members in this transportation. If the worker is not in a fixed shape during the transfer and cannot be exposed to the sensing rays of the first sensing sensor 510 and the second sensing sensor 520 at the same time, it can be determined that there is a worker during the transfer, thereby controlling the driving mechanism 300 and the loading mechanism 400 to stop moving, avoiding injuring the worker and improving safety of use.
[0045] In other embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the detection mechanism 500 includes not only a first sensing sensor 510 and a second sensing sensor 520, but also a third sensing sensor 540. The sensing rays of the first sensing sensor 510 and the sensing rays of the second sensing sensor 520 have a height difference. For example, the sensing rays of the first sensing sensor 510 are lower than the sensing rays of the second sensing sensor 520, and the height of the sensing rays of the second sensing sensor 520 is higher than the feeding vehicle 200. When the automatic guided vehicle 600 drives the feeding vehicle 200 for transportation, the first sensing sensor 510 can obtain the sensing signal, and the second sensing sensor 520 cannot obtain the sensing signal, thereby judging that there is no staff in this transportation. If both the first sensing sensor 510 and the second sensing sensor 520 obtain the sensing signal, it means that the staff has contacted the second sensing sensor 520, thereby judging that there is a staff in this transportation, thereby controlling the driving mechanism 300 and the feeding mechanism 400 to stop the action. Furthermore, the third induction sensor 540 is set at the feeding entrance 100B. When the induction signal is detected, the feeding vehicle 200 is entering the feeding area 100A. When no induction signal is detected, it indicates that the feeding vehicle 200 is placed in place.
[0046] In another optional embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the detection mechanism 500 includes safety light barriers 530 mounted on the frame 100 on either side of the feeding inlet 100B. The safety light barriers 530 are photoelectric devices used to detect whether people or objects have entered the feeding area 100A. The safety light barriers 530 use infrared beams between a transmitter and a receiver to form one or more invisible light curtains. When the light curtains are blocked, the device immediately sends a signal, triggering the machine to stop operation or initiate other safety measures, thereby improving the safety of the device.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the driving mechanism 300 includes an X-direction guide rail 310, a Y-direction guide rail 320, a Z-direction guide rail 330, a first bracket 340, a second bracket 350, an X-direction driving unit 360, a Y-direction driving unit 370, and a Z-direction driving unit 380. The X-direction guide rail 310 is arranged on the upper part of the frame 100, the first bracket 340 is movably arranged on the X-direction guide rail 310, the Y-direction guide rail 320 is arranged on the first bracket 340, the second bracket 350 is movably arranged on the Y-direction guide rail 320, and the Z-direction guide rail 330 is arranged on the first bracket 340. The X-axis drive unit 360 is mounted on the first bracket 340, and the power output end of the X-axis drive unit 360 is connected to the X-guide rail 310. The Y-axis drive unit 370 is mounted on the first bracket 340, and the power output end of the Y-axis drive unit 370 is connected to the second bracket 350. The Z-axis drive unit 380 is mounted on the second bracket 350, and the loading mechanism 400 is movably mounted on the Z-guide rail 330, and the power output end of the Z-axis drive unit 380 is connected to the loading mechanism 400. Specifically, the X-axis drive unit 360, the Y-axis drive unit 370, and the Z-axis drive unit 380 are all driven cylinders, which have the advantages of simple structure, durability, and low manufacturing and maintenance costs.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first bracket 340 is slidably set on the X guide rail 310, so that the X-axis driving unit 360 drives the first bracket 340 to move along the X-axis direction, and then the Y guide rail 320 is set on the first bracket 340 along the Y-axis direction, and the second bracket 350 is slidably set on the Y guide rail 320, so that the Y-axis driving unit 370 drives the second bracket 350 to move along the Y-axis direction, and the Z guide rail 330 is set on the second bracket 350 along the Z-axis direction, and the loading mechanism 400 is slidably set on the Z guide rail 330, so that the Z-axis driving unit 380 drives the loading mechanism 400 to move up and down along the Z-axis, thereby forming an XYZ axial motion trajectory. When the X-axis driving unit 360, the Y-axis driving unit 370 and the Z-axis driving unit 380 cooperate to drive the loading mechanism 400, the loading mechanism 400 can be controlled to move in multiple directions, thereby transferring the loading part 20 on the feeding vehicle 200 to the loading position, and the entire process is completed automatically to ensure processing efficiency.
[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the loading mechanism 400 further includes a first rotation drive unit 421, a second rotation drive unit 422, a first gripping drive unit 423, and a second gripping drive unit 424. The first rotation drive unit 421 is movably disposed on the Z-direction guide rail 330, the second rotation drive unit 422 is connected to the output end of the first rotation drive unit 421, and the first gripping drive unit 423 and the second gripping drive unit 424 are both connected to the output end of the second rotation drive unit 422. The loading jaw 410 includes a first sub-jaw 411 and a second sub-jaw 412. The first sub-jaw 411 is connected to the output end of the first gripping drive unit 423, and the second sub-jaw 412 is connected to the output end of the second gripping drive unit 424. Specifically, the rotation axis of the first gripping drive unit 423 is disposed along the Z-axis direction, the rotation axis of the second rotation drive unit 422 forms an angle of 45° with the Z-axis direction, and the first sub-jaw 411 and the second sub-jaw 412 are disposed perpendicularly. When the loading part 20 is a gear, the gear is placed vertically on the feeding cart 200, the first sub-claw 411 extends into the through hole of the gear, and then the first clamping drive unit 423 drives the first sub-claw 411 to open the through hole that clamps the gear, and then the gear can be taken out, and then the position of the first sub-claw 411 and the second sub-claw 412 is converted by the second rotation drive unit 422, so that the gear becomes a flat state. This embodiment can convert the vertically placed loading part 20 into a flat position during loading, making the automatic loading device more applicable. Moreover, during a loading operation, the positions of the first sub-claw 411 and the second sub-claw 412 can be switched to load two loading parts 20 at the same time, thereby improving the loading efficiency.
[0050] In other embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the loading mechanism 400 also includes a third rotation drive unit 431 and a third gripping drive unit 432. The third rotation drive unit 431 is movably disposed on the Z-direction guide rail 330. The third gripping drive unit 432 is connected to the output end of the third rotation drive unit 431. The loading clamp 410 is connected to the output end of the third gripping drive unit 432. If it is not necessary to convert the loading part 20 to a flat position, the loading clamp 410 can be directly connected to the third rotation drive unit 431 disposed in the Z-axis direction, thereby vertically gripping and placing the loading part 20 to complete loading. The loading clamp 410 of this embodiment can grasp the loading part 20 according to its placement, without changing the posture of the loading clamp 410. This has a simple structure and high loading efficiency.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the loading jaws 410 are equipped with hooks 413, which are connected to the ends of the loading jaws 410 in opposite directions. Specifically, if the loading jaws 410 are positioned to grip the through-hole of the loading part 20, the hooks 413 are positioned opposite each other; if the loading jaws 410 are positioned to grip the side walls of the loading part 20, the hooks 413 are positioned to face each other. The anti-drop design of the hooks 413 on the loading jaws 410 prevents the loading part 20 from falling off the loading jaws 410 due to accidental air or power outages during the loading process, thereby ensuring reliable loading.
[0052] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the feeding vehicle 200 is provided with a plurality of placement slots 200A, which are arranged at equal intervals. The placement slots 200A are used to place the loading parts 20. The placement slots 200A for placing the loading parts 20 on the feeding vehicle 200 match the shape and contour of the loading parts 20, ensuring that the loading parts 20 will not shift during the movement of the feeding vehicle 200. The placement of the loading parts 20 at equal intervals is conducive to determining the position of each loading part 20, facilitating automated loading.
[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the feeding vehicle 200 also includes an oil storage bin 210. The bottom of the placement tank 200A is connected to the oil storage bin 210, and the bottom of the oil storage bin 210 is also provided with an oil drain port 211. A hollow structure is provided below the placement tank 200A. The oil storage bin 210 is arranged below the placement tank 200A to collect oil that flows down from the loading part 20. When the oil storage bin 210 is full, the oil is released through the oil drain port 211, which can be recycled and reused, thereby avoiding the random discharge of oil pollution and protecting the environment.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 400 also includes a barcode scanner 440 and a camera 450. The barcode scanner 440 is arranged on one side of the feeding clamp 410, and the camera 450 is connected to the feeding clamp 410. By arranging the camera 450 on the feeding clamp 410, it can be used to determine whether there is a feeding part 20 at the position corresponding to the feeding clamp 410, thereby preventing the feeding clamp 410 from grabbing empty parts. It can also be used to further determine the position of the feeding part 20, making the feeding clamp 410 grabbing more accurately and improving the reliability of the automatic feeding device. In addition, by arranging the barcode scanner 440, after the feeding clamp 410 clamps the feeding part 20, the barcode scanner 440 is first used to scan the serial number of the feeding part 20, and then the feeding part 20 is placed in the feeding position to ensure the accuracy of the feeding data.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the frame 100 further includes a clamping cylinder 110, which is provided on the frame 100 on one side of the feeding area 100A. The clamping cylinder 110 is used to clamp or release the feeding cart 200. By providing the clamping cylinder 110 on the frame 100, when the feeding cart 200 is placed in the feeding area 100A, the clamping cylinder 110 is actuated to clamp the feeding cart 200, thereby fixing the position of the feeding cart 200, preventing the feeding cart 200 from moving during the feeding process, and improving the accuracy and reliability of feeding.
[0056] The automatic loading device described in the embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0057] 1. By setting a detection mechanism 500 on the frame 100, when the staff transfers the feeding cart 200 and enters the feeding area 100A, the detection mechanism 500 can detect the entry of the staff, thereby controlling the driving mechanism 300 and the loading mechanism 400 to stop moving to avoid colliding with the staff. Furthermore, it can also detect whether the feeding cart 200 is placed in place to avoid clamping errors in the loading mechanism 400, which has the advantages of good clamping accuracy and high safety of use.
[0058] 2. A placement slot 200A for the loading piece 20 is provided on the feeding vehicle 200, wherein the placement slot 200A matches the shape contour of the loading piece 20, ensuring that the loading piece 20 will not be offset during the movement of the feeding vehicle 200, and the loading pieces 20 are placed at equal intervals, which is conducive to determining the position of each loading piece 20 and facilitating automated loading.
