[0070] References to "embodiments" herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of such phrases in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. The various embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0071] It should be noted that the thickness, length, width and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0072] In related technologies, large quantities of sheet materials are initially stacked. This stacking prevents the material from entering subsequent processing equipment. Therefore, the material must be divided into smaller pieces, with a gripper assembly individually grabbing the topmost layer of material, stacking a predetermined number of materials. However, the topmost layer of material may be offset from the gripper assembly, making it difficult for the gripper assembly to grasp the material securely.

[0073] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a material dividing device that can position the material and align the material with the grabbing assembly. The material dividing device includes a loading assembly, a positioning assembly, a grabbing assembly and a transfer assembly. The loading assembly includes a supporting member and a lifting member, the supporting member includes a supporting surface, the supporting surface is used to carry a plurality of stacked materials, the lifting member is connected to the supporting member to drive the supporting member to rise and fall in the vertical direction; the positioning assembly includes two positioning members, the two positioning members are spaced apart along a first direction and can move toward or away from each other along the first direction, and are configured to move and position the material positioned on the top layer when moving toward each other; the grabbing assembly is used to grab the material positioned by the two positioning members; the transfer assembly is connected to the grabbing assembly to drive the grabbing assembly and the material to move.

[0074] In the above-mentioned material dividing device, the lifting member drives the supporting member to rise, which can drive multiple stacked materials to rise. The two positioning members can move toward each other along the first direction after the multiple stacked materials rise, so as to move and position the topmost material to prevent the topmost material from being relatively offset from the grabbing component, so that the topmost material can be aligned with the grabbing component, so that the grabbing component can stably grab the material positioned by the two positioning members under the drive of the transfer component, thereby transferring the material. Repeating the above operation can transfer the materials one by one, so that a preset number of materials can be stacked in sequence to form a stack, so that the material dividing can be completed, the degree of automation is high, and the material dividing efficiency is improved.

[0075] The embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device. The feeding device includes a material distribution device 100 (see Figure 1 ), a conveying device, and a processing device (not shown). The material distribution device 100 transfers the materials one by one to the conveying device, so that a predetermined amount of materials are stacked on the conveying device to form a stack. The conveying device transports the stack to the processing device for processing, thereby continuously supplying the processing device with materials, which has a high degree of automation.

[0077] In some embodiments, the conveying device is a conveyor belt.

[0078] In some embodiments, the material is in sheet form. The preset quantity of material is 6 to 8 sheets. Alternatively, other quantities of material may be used to accommodate the requirements of different production lines and processing equipment.

[0079] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material dividing device 100 includes a loading component 10, a positioning component 20, a grabbing component 30 and a transfer component 40. The loading component 10 is used to carry and drive the material to rise and fall. When a plurality of stacked materials rise to a certain level, the positioning component 20 can move to position the material on the top layer. The transfer component 40 is connected to the grabbing component 30, and the transfer component 40 drives the grabbing component 30 to move, so that the grabbing component 30 can align with and stably grab the material positioned by the positioning component 20, and transfer the grabbing component 30 and the material grabbed by the grabbing component 30. Repeating the above operation can transfer materials one by one, so that a preset number of materials can be stacked in sequence on the conveying device to form a stack, so that the material dividing can be completed, the degree of automation is high, the material dividing efficiency is improved, and the processing device can be efficiently fed.

[0080] In some embodiments, the loading assembly 10 includes a carrier 11 and a lifting member 12. The carrier 11 includes a carrying surface 1111. The carrying surface 1111 is used to carry a plurality of stacked materials. The lifting member 12 is connected to the carrier 11 to drive the carrier 11 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby driving the plurality of stacked materials carried by the carrier 11 to rise and fall. The positioning assembly 20 includes two positioning members 21. The two positioning members 21 are spaced apart along a first direction and can move toward or away from each other along the first direction, and are configured to move and position the material on the top layer when moving toward each other.

[0081] As will be understood, when the two positioning members 21 move toward each other to position the topmost layer of material, the topmost layer of material is positioned at a predetermined position. The gripping assembly 30 is configured to align with the predetermined position, aligning the gripping assembly 30 with the topmost layer of material, enabling the gripping assembly 30 to stably grip the material. The predetermined position is the middle position of the support surface along the second direction. If the gripping assembly 30 is offset relative to the material, the gripping assembly 30 may become unstable, causing the material to drop during the gripping and movement process.

[0082] In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction is parallel to the X-axis, and the vertical direction is parallel to the Z-axis.

[0083] In some embodiments, the lifting member 12 is a cylinder, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the bottom of the supporting member 11 to drive the supporting member 11 to move up and down.

[0084] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the carrier 11 further includes two stop surfaces 1121 , which are spaced apart from each other along the second direction so that a plurality of stacked materials are positioned between the two stop surfaces 1121 .

[0085] In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are two horizontal directions perpendicular to each other. The second direction is parallel to the Y axis.

[0086] In some embodiments, the carrier 11 includes a carrier plate 111 and two stop plates 112. A carrier surface 1111 is provided on the upper surface of the carrier plate 111. Stop surfaces 1121 are provided on the opposing sides of the two stop plates 112. One of the stop plates 112 is slidably connected to the carrier plate 111, while the other stop plate 112 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 111 via a pin; alternatively, both stop plates 112 are slidably connected to the carrier plate 111, and the distance between the two stop surfaces 1121 can be adjusted to facilitate material loading by the carrier 11.

[0087] As an illustrative example, a connecting hole 1112 is provided on the supporting plate 111, and an adjusting groove 1122 is provided on the stop plate 112. The extension direction of the adjusting groove 1122 is parallel to the second direction. A bolt (not shown) is passed through the connecting hole 1112 and the adjusting groove 1122 so that the stop plate 112 can move relative to the supporting plate 111 along the second direction. The nut is threadedly connected to the screw so that the stop plate 112 can be fixed relative to the supporting plate 111.

[0088] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 20 includes a driving member 22. The positioning member 21 includes a bottom plate 211 and a side plate 212 connected thereto. The driving member 22 is connected to the side plate 212 to drive the side plate 212 to move in a first direction toward the topmost layer of material, so that the bottom plate 211 supports the topmost layer of material, and the side plate 212 restricts the topmost layer of material from moving in the first direction after being positioned.

[0089] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 211 and the side plate 212 are perpendicular to each other. The driving member 22 is a linear cylinder. The top piece of material of the plurality of stacked materials is the uppermost layer of material.

[0090] It can be understood that the two bottom plates 211 support the bottom surface of the top layer of material, and when the side plates 212 of the two positioning members 21 move toward each other, the top layer of material is moved and aligned, so that the top layer of material is moved to a preset position and the top layer of material after being positioned is restricted from moving along the first direction.

[0091] See also Figure 4In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 20 further includes a sensing member 23. The sensing member 23 is electrically connected to the driving member 22. When the top layer of material rises to the sensing member 23, the driving member 22 drives the positioning member 21 to move toward the material in a first direction, causing the two positioning members 21 to move toward each other to align the top layer of material.

[0092] In some embodiments, the sensing member 23 is a sensor that can determine the height of stacked materials. When the sensing member 23 senses the materials, the driving member 22 drives the positioning member 21 toward the materials. When the top layer of materials is grabbed by the grab assembly 30 and transferred by the transfer assembly 40, the sensing member 23 no longer senses the materials, and the driving member 22 drives the positioning member 21 away from the materials.

[0093] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 20 includes a bracket 24 and a slide rail 25. The bracket 24 includes a sliding portion 241 and two side walls 242. The two side walls 242 are connected to the sliding portion 241 at intervals along the second direction. The slide rail 25 extends in a direction parallel to the vertical direction. The sliding portion 241 is slidably connected to the slide rail 25, allowing the bracket 24 to be raised and lowered along the slide rail 25. The two side walls 242 are used to stop the material on opposite sides along the second direction when the two positioning members 21 position the uppermost layer of material, thereby stopping the material on opposite sides of the uppermost layer from moving along the second direction, thereby limiting the movement of the material in the second direction.

[0094] By disposing the bracket 24 and the positioning member 21 , the uppermost layer of material can be positioned in the second direction and the first direction to prevent the uppermost layer of material from moving in the horizontal direction and causing the uppermost layer of material to be offset from the grabbing assembly 30 .

[0095] In some embodiments, the slide rail 25 is a vertical electric linear guide rail that can drive the bracket 24 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The lifting member 12 and the slide rail 25 respectively drive the carrier 11 and the bracket 24 to rise and fall, so as to control the height of the carrier 11 and the bracket 24 respectively.

[0096] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 20 includes a base 26, a first guide rod 27, and a second guide rod 28. The first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28 extend in a direction parallel to the vertical direction. The first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28 are connected to the base 26 at intervals along the first direction. The first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the carrier 11 to position the plurality of stacked materials on the carrier surface 1111 between the first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28, so as to stop the plurality of stacked materials along the opposite sides in the first direction, thereby preventing the plurality of stacked materials from moving along the first direction.

[0097] By providing the first guide rod 27 , the second guide rod 28 and the two stop surfaces 1121 , a plurality of stacked materials can be positioned in the second direction and the first direction to prevent the plurality of stacked materials from moving in the horizontal direction.

[0098] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a positioning member 21 is connected to each of the first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28. The first guide rod 27 and the second guide rod 28 fix the vertical height of the positioning member 21, so that the two positioning members 21 can position the top layer of materials after multiple stacked materials rise to the height of the positioning members 21.

[0099] Please refer to 1 to Figure 3 In some embodiments, there are two first guide rods 27, spaced apart along the second direction. There are also two second guide rods 28, spaced apart along the second direction, to better prevent stacked materials from shifting along the first direction. There are four positioning members 21. Each first guide rod 27 and each second guide rod 28 is connected to a positioning member 21 to better position the topmost layer of materials and prevent them from shifting away from the grab assembly 30.

[0100] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, each positioning member 21 is driven by a driver 22, and each driver 22 is electrically connected to a sensor 23. When the sensor 23 senses material, the driver 22 drives the two positioning members 21 toward each other to locate the top layer of material. The sensor 23 and positioning members 21 are both connected to the first guide rod 27 or the second guide rod 28.

Each arm 33 is provided with a suction cup 34 slidably connected thereto, so that the distance between the suction cups 34 on two adjacent arms 33 gradually increases toward the side away from the mounting frame 31, so that the suction cups 34 on the plurality of arms 33 can contact the material together. The vacuum generator 32 is provided on the mounting frame 31 and is used to provide negative pressure to the suction cups 34 to absorb the material, so that the suction cups 34 can absorb the material they come into contact with.

[0102] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the mounting frame 31 includes a horizontal plate 311 and a connecting plate 312. The horizontal plate 311 is disposed horizontally. The connecting plate 312 is disposed vertically. The vacuum generator 32 is mounted on the connecting plate 312. A plurality of supporting arms 33 are spaced apart on the horizontal plate 311.

[0103] In some embodiments, there are four arms 33 , which are connected to the horizontal plate 311 , so that the arms 33 and the horizontal plate 311 are connected to form an X shape, so that the distance between the two arms 33 gradually increases toward the side away from the horizontal plate 311 .

[0104] In some embodiments, each arm 33 is provided with a chute 331 extending parallel to the direction of extension of the arm 33. A suction cup 34 is slidably connected to each chute 331. The suction cup 34 is driven to slide within the chute 331 to adjust the distance between the suction cup 34 and the horizontal plate 311, so that the distance between the suction cups 34 on two adjacent arms 33 gradually increases toward the side away from the mounting frame 31, thereby allowing the suction of materials of different sizes.

[0105] In some embodiments, two suction cups 34 are disposed in each chute 331 to more stably absorb the material.

[0108] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 40 further includes a second moving member 42. The second moving member 42 is connected to the first moving member 41 to drive the grabbing assembly 30 to move along the second direction.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second moving member 42 includes two horizontal electric linear guides extending along the second direction. The two horizontal electric linear guides are spaced apart along the first direction. The grab assembly 30 is connected to a movable plate 43, which is connected to the side of the first moving member 41 facing away from the connecting plate 312. The ends of the movable plate 43 are respectively slidably connected to the two horizontal electric linear guides to drive the grab assembly 30 to move stably.

[0110] See also Figure 8In some embodiments, the grabbing assembly 30 includes a power member 35 and a clamping member 36. The clamping member 36 includes two clamping nozzles 361.
