DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a feeding system, including a feeding device 1, a centering device 2 and a conveying device 3. The feeding device 1 is responsible for receiving the material to be conveyed to ensure that the material can enter the system smoothly and orderly. The centering device 2 is arranged at one end of the feeding device 1 close to the conveying device 3 to center the material to ensure that the material is in the correct position. The conveying device 3 includes a driving rail 31, a transmission structure 32 for driving the driving rail 31 to operate, and a plurality of hooks 33. The plurality of hooks 33 are installed at intervals on the driving rail 31. The transmission structure 32 is connected to the driving rail 31 to drive the hooks 33 to convey the material from the feeding device 1 to a preset position.

[0021] In this embodiment, the transmission structure 32 drives the hook 33 to move along the drive track 31, and transports the material from the feeding device 1 to the required preset position, which can achieve efficient and accurate transportation of materials, reduce the uncertainty of manual transportation, and improve the transportation speed. In addition, the centering device 2 ensures the accurate positioning of the material and avoids problems caused by inaccurate positioning.

[0022] Furthermore, the centering device 2 includes two oppositely arranged centering components 21, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the feeding device 1. That is, the two sets of centering devices 2 are opposite to each other and are arranged on both sides of the material conveying path, which can ensure that the material is aligned to the center line before entering the conveying device 3, avoiding problems caused by the material deviating from the center during subsequent conveying.

[0023] Furthermore, the centering component 21 includes a first driving member 211 and a push plate 212. The first driving member 211 is used to provide power for the movement of the push plate 212. It is installed on the feeding device 1, and the driving shaft of the first driving member 211 is connected to the push plate 212 to drive the push plate 212 to move along the width direction of the feeding device 1.

[0024] When material enters the feeder 1, the centering assembly 21 begins operating. The first drive member 211, via its drive shaft, drives the push plate 212 to move along the width of the feeder 1 (i.e., perpendicular to the direction of material movement). This movement exerts a lateral force on the material, pushing it to the predetermined center position. This embodiment, through the action of the centering assembly 21, ensures that the material is precisely aligned to the center position before entering the handling device 3, thus preventing inaccurate positioning of the material due to deviation from the center during handling.

[0025] Furthermore, the feeding device 1 includes a mounting frame, a second driving member 11, a transmission sprocket 12 and a first transmission chain 13. The mounting frame is used to support and fix other components to ensure their stable operation. For example, the second driving member 11, the transmission sprocket 12 and the first transmission chain 13 are arranged on the mounting frame. The second driving member 11 is used to provide power and is connected to the transmission sprocket 12. The first transmission chain 13 is engaged with the transmission sprocket 12 to drive the first transmission chain 13 through the second driving member 11.

[0026] When the second driving member 11 is started, it transmits power through the transmission sprocket 12 connected to it. The rotation of the transmission sprocket 12 will drive the first transmission chain 13 engaged with it to move. The movement of the first transmission chain 13 can further drive the movement of the material. In this embodiment, through the power provided by the second driving member 11, the feeding device 1 can transfer the material from one position to the handling device 3.

[0027] Furthermore, the transmission structure 32 includes a third driving member, a driving shaft wheel assembly 321 and multiple driven shaft wheel assemblies 322. The driving shaft wheel assembly 321 and the multiple driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the driving track 31. The third driving member is connected to the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 to drive the hook 33 to move in the counterclockwise direction.

[0028] When the third drive member is activated, it drives the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 to rotate. The rotation of the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 is transmitted to the driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 via the drive rail 31, causing all driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 and the driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 drives the hook 33 mounted on the drive rail 31 to move counterclockwise, thereby achieving material handling. In this embodiment, the coordination of the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 and multiple driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 ensures stable movement of the hook 33 on the drive rail 31, avoiding the potential offset or jamming caused by single-point drive. Furthermore, the provision of multiple driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 helps evenly distribute the drive load, reducing wear on individual components and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, the drive track 31 includes two second transmission chains 311 arranged at intervals to ensure that the hook 33 can move smoothly between the two chains. When the transmission structure 32 (such as the third driving member) is started, it will drive one of the second transmission chains 311 to move, and through the driven shaft wheel assembly 322, the other second transmission chain 311 will also move synchronously.

[0030] Furthermore, the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 includes a transmission shaft 3211, a first connecting portion 3212, a first sprocket portion 3213 and a first mounting seat 3214. The first connecting portion 3212 is respectively provided at both ends of the transmission shaft 3211. The first connecting portion 3212 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 3214. Two first sprocket portions 3213 are provided between the two first connecting portions 3212. The two first sprocket portions 3213 are arranged at intervals, and the first sprocket portion 3213 is engaged with the corresponding second transmission chain 311 to ensure that power can be transmitted to the transmission chain. The third driving member is connected to a first connecting portion 3212 to drive the first connecting portion 3212 to rotate.

[0031] When the third driving member is started, it will drive the first connecting part 3212 connected to it to rotate. Since there are first connecting parts 3212 at both ends of the transmission shaft 3211, one of which is connected to the third driving member, the entire transmission shaft 3211 will rotate with the rotation of the first connecting part 3212. The rotation of the transmission shaft 3211 will drive the two first sprocket parts 3213 installed thereon to rotate. The rotation of the first sprocket part 3213 drives the second transmission chain 311 to move in a predetermined direction through engagement with the second transmission chain 311. Since the second transmission chain 311 is connected to the hook 33, the movement of the second transmission chain 311 will drive the hook 33 to move along the drive track 31.

[0032] This embodiment enhances the stability and reliability of the system through multi-point engagement, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the transport device 3 during the transport process.

[0033] Furthermore, the driven shaft wheel assembly 322 includes two corresponding driven structures 3221, the driven structure 3221 includes a second sprocket portion 32211, a second mounting seat and a second connecting portion 32212, the second connecting portion 32212 is movably connected to the second mounting seat, and one end of the second connecting portion 32212 is connected to the second sprocket portion 32211, and the second sprocket portion 32211 is engaged with the corresponding second transmission chain 311.

[0034] When the driving shaft wheel assembly 321 drives the second transmission chain 311 to move, the second transmission chain 311 will engage with the second sprocket part 32211 in the driven shaft wheel assembly 322. Due to the engagement of the second sprocket part 32211 with the second transmission chain 311, the movement of the second transmission chain 311 will drive the second sprocket part 32211 to rotate, and the rotation of the second sprocket part 32211 is transmitted to the second mounting seat through the second connecting part 32212. However, since the second connecting part 32212 and the second mounting seat are movably connected, the second connecting part 32212 rotates in place under the support and positioning action of the second mounting seat.

[0035] In this embodiment, the distribution of multiple driven shaft wheel assemblies 322 can disperse the load on the chain, reduce the wear of a single sprocket, and ensure the smooth operation of the second transmission chain 311 on the entire drive track 31.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the hook 33 includes a third connecting portion 331 , a connecting shaft 332 , and two hook structures 333 . Both ends of the connecting shaft 332 are mounted on the third connecting portion 331 , and the two hook structures 333 are spaced apart and sleeved on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 332 .

[0037] The third connecting portion 331 connects the hook 33 to the drive rail 31, enabling the hook 33 to move along a predetermined path. The design of the two hook structures 333 allows materials to be clamped in the middle, preventing them from falling during transport. Furthermore, the two hook structures 333 are secured together by a connecting shaft 332, ensuring material stability during transport and preventing them from slipping due to uneven force on one side.

[0038] Furthermore, the hook structure 333 includes a mounting portion 3331 and a hook portion 3332 . The mounting portion 3331 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the connecting shaft 332 to ensure that the hook structure 333 can be firmly mounted on the connecting shaft 332 . The hook portion 3332 is connected to the mounting portion 3331 .

[0039] When the hook 33 moves with the driving track 31, the connecting shaft 332 drives the mounting part 3331 to move together. The mounting part 3331 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 332 to ensure that the hook part 3332 can move with the movement of the connecting shaft 332. During the movement, the hook part 3332 can clamp or hook the material to ensure that the material will not fall off during the transportation process, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the material during the transportation process, improving the efficiency of the transportation process, reducing manual intervention, and improving the automation level and reliability of the entire feeding system.

[0040] It should be noted that the material in this embodiment is a residual anode plate, and the first drive member 211, the second drive member 11 and the third drive member can be a drive structure such as a servo motor. Under the action of torque, the first transmission chain 13 intermittently delivers the residual anode plates one by one to the position where the hook 33 passes. When the residual anode plate reaches the designated position, it will be hooked by two hooks 33 on the left and right, and move vertically upward together, thereby achieving the purpose of loading the residual anode plate.

[0041] To sum up, the embodiment of the utility model provides a feeding system, which drives the hook 33 to move along the drive track 31 through the transmission structure 32, and transports the material from the feeding device 1 to the required preset position, which can realize efficient and accurate transportation of materials, reduce the uncertainty of manual transportation, and improve the transportation speed. In addition, the centering device 2 ensures the accurate position of the material and avoids problems caused by inaccurate position.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
