When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic feeding device for wooden hanger blanks, comprising: a first support column 1, a second support column 2, a sliding rod 3, and an electric push rod 4. The first support column 1 and the second support column 2 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 5. The sliding rod 3 has an angle in the horizontal plane. The lower end of the sliding rod 3 is connected to the first support column 1, and the upper end of the sliding rod 3 is connected to the second support column 2. A push plate 6 is slidably installed on the sliding rod 3. The electric push rod 4 is installed on the first support column 1, and the electric push rod 4 is parallel to the sliding rod 3. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 4 is connected to the push plate 6; a placement groove 7 is provided at the upper end of the sliding rod 3, and the placement groove 7 is connected to the upper end of the sliding rod 3 through an inclined portion 8.

[0020] Wooden clothes hanger blanks are usually neatly stacked on turnover boxes or transfer racks. Workers can take multiple wooden clothes hanger blanks at a time and place them on the slide bar 3. When loading, the electric push rod 4 pushes the push plate 6 to move along the slide bar 3. At this time, the uppermost wooden clothes hanger blank slides to the inclined portion 8 and slides downward along the inclined portion 8 to the placement slot 7. After the photoelectric switch 9 senses that there is a wooden clothes hanger blank in the placement slot 7, it sends a signal to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller pauses the movement of the electric push rod 4 and sends a signal to the controller of the manipulator 10. The manipulator 10 grabs the wooden clothes hanger blank through the suction cup at the end and places the wooden clothes hanger blank on the processing station of the processing equipment; after the photoelectric switch 9 senses that the wooden clothes hanger blank is taken away, it feeds back to the controller, causing the electric push rod 4 to continue to extend and continue to push the wooden hanger blank. There are multiple sets of slide bars 3 on the first support column 1 and the second support column 2. After the wooden hanger blanks in the row of slide bars 3 are pushed out, the electric push rod 4 retreats, and the worker can place the wooden hanger blanks on the slide bars 3. Through the cooperation of multiple sets of slide bars 3, the continuous supply of materials to the robot 10 is guaranteed. When there is a shortage of materials, an audible and visual alarm can be issued to facilitate workers to identify the machine position where materials need to be loaded.

[0021] The top wooden hanger blank slides down the inclined portion 8 into the placement groove 7, thereby being separated from other wooden hanger blanks. When the manipulator 10 grabs it, it can avoid scratching other wooden hanger blanks, ensuring smooth loading.

[0022] Preferably, two slide bars 3 form a group, and each group of slide bars 3 is installed in parallel on the first support column 1 and the second support column 2. There are 1 to 3 groups of slide bars 3 on the first support column 1 and the second support column 2. Both ends of the wooden hanger blank are mounted on the slide bars 3. There are multiple groups of slide bars 3 on the first support column 1 and the second support column 2. After the wooden hanger blanks in the rows of slide bars 3 are pushed out, the electric push rod 4 retreats, and the worker places the wooden hanger blank on the slide bar 3. By cooperating with multiple groups of slide bars 3, the continuous feeding of the robot 10 is guaranteed. When there is a shortage of materials, an audible and visual alarm can be issued to facilitate workers to identify the machine position where materials need to be loaded.

[0023] Specifically, the width of the placement slot 7 is 10mm to 20mm larger than the thickness of the wooden hanger blank, which facilitates the wooden hanger blank to slide into the placement slot 7. A photoelectric switch 9 is provided on the placement slot 7. The photoelectric switch 9 is used to determine whether there is a wooden hanger blank in the placement slot 7, so as to facilitate the control of the operation of the electric push rod 4 and the manipulator 10.

[0024] Specifically, the photoelectric switch 9 is a diffuse reflection type photoelectric switch. When the wooden hanger blank is located in the placement slot 7, the diffuse reflection type photoelectric switch emits light that shines on the wooden hanger blank and causes diffuse reflection. After being sensed by the sensor on the photoelectric switch 9, the signal is fed back to the controller. The photoelectric switch 9 is installed on the side of the placement slot 7, and the detection end of the photoelectric switch 9 points to the inside of the placement slot 7, so that after the wooden hanger blank is placed in the placement slot 7, the detection light emitted by the photoelectric switch 9 can be on the wooden hanger blank, thereby sensing whether the wooden hanger blank is on it through the photoelectric switch 9.

[0025] Specifically, it also includes a robot 10, which is installed on the ground. A vacuum suction cup is provided at the end of the robot 10. The robot 10 grabs the wooden hanger blank and places it in the processing equipment to realize automatic loading.

[0026] Specifically, a pull rod 11 is provided on the first support column 1, one end of the pull rod 11 is connected to the electric push rod 4, and the other end of the pull rod 11 is connected to the first support column 1. The pull rod 11 improves the connection stability between the electric push rod 4 and the first support column 1, thereby preventing the electric push rod 4 from swinging.

[0027] Of course, the present application may have many other implementations. Based on the present implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
