BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the automatic feeding device provided by an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing ton bag feeding system lacks a platform for lifting and lowering ton bags, and when the bag grabbing clamp is installed at a higher position, the ton bags cannot be transported to a higher position for grabbing by the bag grabbing clamp, the utility model provides an automatic feeding device, which can realize the transfer of ton bags to a higher position so that the high-positioned manipulator assembly can grab the ton bags, and is suitable for use in more working conditions.

[0023] Under some special working conditions, the robot can only be installed at a higher position, and the robot cannot grab the ton bags at a low position. In this case, the ton bags need to be moved to a higher position before they can be grabbed by the robot and transferred to the next workstation for the next processing, thereby successfully completing the processing work.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic feeding device in an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic feeding device includes a feeding assembly and a manipulator assembly. The feeding assembly includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a lifting mechanism 3. The position of the second conveying mechanism 2 is higher than that of the first conveying mechanism 1. Specifically, the feeding assembly also includes a Z-shaped support frame 4. One end of the support frame 4 is attached to the ground, and the other end is suspended in the air, forming a height difference between the two ends of the support frame 4. The first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the support frame 4, so that there is a height difference between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting platform 31 and a driving roller 32. The lifting platform 31 can be connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and can be connected to the second conveying mechanism 2 when rising. The driving roller 32 can convey the ton bag 10 on the lifting platform 31 to the second conveying mechanism 2. When the first conveying mechanism 1 transfers the ton bag 10 to the end, the driving roller 32 can drive the ton bag 10 to the lifting platform 31, so that the lifting platform 31 can drive the ton bag 10 to the starting end of the second conveying mechanism 2 when it rises. The second conveying mechanism 2 then drives the ton bag 10 to a position close to the robot assembly to facilitate the robot assembly to grab the ton bag 10.

[0025] The manipulator assembly is used to grab the ton bag 10 from the second conveyor mechanism 2 and transfer the ton bag 10 to the next station. The manipulator assembly is installed at a higher position and is used to grab the ton bag 10 at a higher position and, after grabbing the ton bag 10, transfer the ton bag 10 to the top of the material storage tank 5.

[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The plurality of drive rollers 32 are located on opposite sides of the lifting platform 31. All of the drive rollers 32 extend beyond the top surface of the lifting platform and are located at the same height. In this embodiment, the rotation of the drive rollers 32 drives the ton bags 10 from the first conveyor mechanism 1 to the lifting platform 31, and then from the lifting platform 31 to the second conveyor mechanism 2. In other embodiments, the drive rollers 32 can be replaced by conveyor belts.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The lifting mechanism 3 also includes a drive motor. Each drive roller 32 is sleeved with a passive gear. Adjacent drive rollers 32 are meshed with each other through the passive gears. The drive motor includes a driving gear, which is meshed with the passive gear through the driving gear. In this embodiment, each drive roller 32 is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 31 via a rotating shaft. Each rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved with a passive gear. The multiple passive gears mesh with each other to form a linkage, thereby enhancing the synchronization of the movement of the multiple drive rollers 32. In addition, there is no need to provide a drive motor for each drive roller 32, which is beneficial for cost savings.

[0028] The lifting mechanism 3 also includes a lifting cylinder 33. The lifting platform 31 passes through the support frame 4 and is connected to the lifting cylinder 33. The lifting cylinder 33 drives the lifting platform 31 up and down, thereby driving the conveyor plate 13 and the ton bags 10 up and down. The support frame 4 has a vertical chute, along which the lifting platform 31 moves up and down. After the first ton bag is delivered, the lifting cylinder 33 drives the lifting platform 31 down first. The driving roller 32 drives the conveyor plate 13 back to the first roller 11. The first roller 11 then reverses and drives the conveyor plate 13 to the loading station to receive the next ton bag.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The first conveying mechanism 1 includes multiple first rollers 11 arranged side by side. The first roller 11 at the end is capable of engaging with the lower drive roller 32. In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 1 drives the ton bags 10 to the lifting platform 31 by rotating the multiple first rollers 11 arranged side by side. The multiple first rollers 11 in this embodiment can also be connected through meshing like the multiple drive rollers 32 of the lifting mechanism 3 to form a linkage effect. In other embodiments, the multiple first rollers 11 can also be replaced by a conveyor belt, which can also serve the purpose of conveying the ton bags 10.

[0030] The first conveying mechanism 1 also includes a conveying plate 13, which is located on the first roller 11. The rotation of the first roller 11 can drive the conveying plate 13 toward the lifting platform 31. The conveying plate 13 is used to place big bags. Workers can use a forklift to place big bags on the conveying plate 13. The first roller 11 drives the conveying plate 13 to move to the lifting platform 31.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a plurality of second rollers 21 arranged side by side. The second roller 21 at the starting end is capable of engaging with a drive roller located at a higher position. In this embodiment, the plurality of second rollers 21 are arranged side by side in a straight line. The second roller 21 closest to the lifting platform 31 is defined as the second roller 21 at the starting end. When the lifting platform 31 rises to its highest point, the lifting platform 31 engages with the second roller 21 at the starting end. At this time, driven by the drive roller 32, the ton bag 10 on the lifting platform 31 can be moved to the second roller 21. As the second roller 21 rotates, the ton bag 10 is driven to a position close to the manipulator assembly.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1The manipulator assembly 6 includes a fixed base 61, a left clamping member 62, and a right clamping member 63. The left clamping member 62 and the right clamping member 63 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the fixed base 61 and can clamp or release the ton bag 10 when rotating. When the second roller 21 transfers the ton bag 10 to the appropriate position, the manipulator assembly can control the left clamping member 62 and the right clamping member 63 to open and move to the appropriate position first, then control the left clamping member 62 and the right clamping member 63 to clamp the ton bag 10, and then drive the ton bag 10 to the top of the material storage tank 5. The manipulator assembly also has a structure for controlling the horizontal and vertical movement of the fixed base 61. This structure is a prior art and is used to control the left clamping member 62 and the right clamping member 63 to move to the appropriate position to facilitate clamping and releasing the ton bag 10. No further description is given here.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The automatic feeding device also includes a cutting assembly 7, which includes a first telescopic member 71, a second telescopic member 72, a lifting member 73, and a cutting head 74. The first telescopic member 71 is connected to the lifting member 73, the lifting member 73 is connected to the second telescopic member 72, and the second telescopic member 72 is connected to the cutting head 74. The cutting head 74 is used to cut the ton bag 10 grasped by the manipulator assembly. In this embodiment, the first telescopic member 71 and the second telescopic member 72 are both used to drive the cutting head 74 to move horizontally through telescoping, and the lifting member 73 is used to drive the cutting head 74 to move longitudinally, so that the cutting head 74 can cut the ton bag 10 grasped by the manipulator assembly, so that the raw materials in the ton bag 10 fall into the material storage tank 5.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The automatic feeding device also includes a discharge assembly 8, which has the same structure as the feeding assembly and is symmetrically arranged with the feeding assembly. In this embodiment, the robot assembly grabs the empty bag and transfers it to the discharge assembly 8. The second roller of the discharge assembly 8 can drive the empty bag into the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism lowers the empty bag by descending, and then drives the empty bag to the first roller. The first roller rotates and transports the empty bag to the recovery area for automatic recovery of the empty bag.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The end of the blanking assembly 8 connects with the starting end of the feeding assembly. In this embodiment, the end of the blanking assembly 8 can be understood as the first roller farthest from the lifting mechanism. This first roller can be connected to the feeding assembly via a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism can be of any structure and can be a conveyor belt or a structure composed of multiple rollers. This connecting mechanism can transfer the empty bags from the blanking assembly 8 to the feeding assembly. In this embodiment, only one staff member is required to be on duty at the connection between the feeding assembly and the blanking assembly 8, saving manpower.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The automatic feeding device also includes a label identification part 9, which is provided on the first conveying mechanism 1 and is used to scan the label of the ton bag 10 conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 1. When the scanned label meets the requirements, the first conveying mechanism is controlled to continue to drive the ton bag 10 to move to the lifting mechanism. When the scanned label does not meet the requirements, the first conveying mechanism is controlled to pause. At this time, the staff can go forward to check the ton bag 10 to prevent raw materials that do not meet the requirements from entering the material storage tank 5. In addition, a counter 18 can also be installed on the first conveying mechanism 1. The counter 18 is used to count the ton bags 10 flowing through the first conveying mechanism 1, so as to facilitate the statistics of the unpacked ton bags.

[0037] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1 The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail:

[0038] The automatic feeding device provided by the present invention has a first conveying mechanism 1 that can convey the ton bag 10 to be unpacked to the lifting platform 31. Driven by the driving roller 32, the ton bag 10 can be smoothly delivered to the lifting platform 31. When the lifting platform 31 rises, it can drive the ton bag 10 to rise to the starting end of the second conveying mechanism 2. The second conveying mechanism 2 can drive the ton bag 10 to move to a position close to the manipulator assembly, so that the manipulator assembly at a high position can grab the ton bag 10 and complete the next process.
