[0037] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a loading device 1 is provided, which is used to transport raw materials; the loading device 1 includes a conveying channel 10, a material storage bin 11, a first material pushing mechanism 12 and a second material pushing mechanism 13, the conveying channel 10 extends along a first direction, and is used to convey the raw materials along the first direction; the material storage bin 11 is provided on one side of the conveying channel 10 along a second direction, and is configured to place a full material tray loaded with raw materials;
[0039] The first pushing mechanism 12 is disposed on a side of the material storage bin 11 away from the conveying channel 10 , and the first pushing mechanism 12 is configured to push the raw material in a second direction toward the conveying channel 10 ;
[0040] The second pushing mechanism 13 is adjacent to the conveying channel 10 along the first direction, and is opposite to the material storage bin 11 along the second direction; the second pushing mechanism 13 is used to push the raw materials toward the conveying channel 10 along the first direction.
[0041] The loading device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for transporting raw materials; for example, the loading device is used to transport the shell of the memory connector. Specifically, the shell of the memory connector is loaded in a tray and placed in the storage bin 11. When transporting the raw materials, the first pushing mechanism 12 first pushes the raw materials along the second direction to move close to the conveying channel 10; for example, the first pushing mechanism 12 pushes groups of raw materials, such as a row of shells. After the group of raw materials are pushed into place by the first pushing mechanism 12, the second pushing mechanism 13 pushes the raw materials along the first direction toward the conveying channel 10; for example, the second pushing mechanism 13 pushes a single raw material, such as a shell.
[0042] In the loading equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first pushing mechanism 12 and the second pushing mechanism 13 cooperate to transport the raw materials from the storage bin 11 to the conveying channel 10, thereby preparing the raw materials for transportation to the next workstation via the conveying channel 10. For example, the raw materials are moved to the next workstation by the material moving mechanism.
[0043] The loading equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application has a compact structure and a reasonable layout. The entire process of transporting raw materials is a fully automatic process without the need for human intervention. The degree of automation and work efficiency are high, which is conducive to reducing production costs.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first pushing mechanism 12 includes a pushing motor 121 and a pushing belt 122, the output shaft of the pushing motor 121 is connected to the pushing belt 122, the pushing motor 121 drives the pushing belt 122 to move along the second direction, and the pushing belt 122 is used to push the raw material along the second direction to move close to the conveying channel 10.
[0045] In this specific example, the output shaft of the push motor 121 rotates to drive the push belt 122 to move in the second direction. As the push belt 122 moves in the second direction, the push belt 122 drives the raw material to move in the second direction closer to the conveying channel 10. The use of the push motor 121 driving the push belt 122 to push the raw material is stable and reliable.
[0046] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first pushing mechanism 12 further includes a pinch wheel 123 , and the number of the pinch wheels 123 is two. The two pinch wheels 123 respectively abut against the pushing belt 122 from both sides along the third direction of the pushing belt 122 .
[0047] In this specific example, a pressure wheel 123 is used to abut the two sides of the push belt 122, so that the tension of the push belt 122 can be adjusted to ensure that the push belt 122 always maintains appropriate tightness, reduce the vibration and looseness of the push belt 122 during the transmission process, and prevent failures caused by loosening or slipping of the push belt 122.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The a direction in the second direction is Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The b direction in the third direction is Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The c direction in .
[0049] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first pushing mechanism 12 further includes a first pushing cylinder 124 , which is disposed above the pushing belt 122 , and the piston rod of the first pushing mechanism 12 extends along the second direction.
[0050] In this specific example, by providing the first pushing cylinder 124 , it can assist the pushing belt 122 in pushing the raw materials, thereby improving the efficiency of conveying the raw materials.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second pushing mechanism 13 includes a second pushing cylinder 131 and a pushing shaft 132, and the pushing shaft 132 is extended along the first direction; one end of the pushing shaft 132 is connected to the second pushing cylinder 131, and the other end of the pushing shaft 132 is used to push the raw material along the first direction toward the conveying channel 10.
[0052] In this specific example, the second pusher cylinder 131 pushes the pusher shaft 132, which in turn pushes the raw materials toward the conveying channel 10. For example, after the group of raw materials is pushed into place by the first pusher mechanism 12, the second pusher cylinder 131 pushes the pusher shaft 132, which in turn pushes the individual raw materials along the first direction toward the conveying channel 10. The second pusher mechanism 13 has a compact structure and a simple transmission relationship.
[0053] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the feeding equipment further includes a steering mechanism 14, which is arranged between the second pushing mechanism 13 and the conveying channel 10, and the steering mechanism 14 is used to rotate the raw material by a predetermined angle before the raw material enters the conveying channel 10.
[0054] In this specific example, when the posture of the raw material pushed out from the material tray of the material storage bin 11 by the first pushing mechanism 12 and the second pushing mechanism 13 does not meet the requirements of the next workstation, the posture of the raw material needs to be turned before the raw material enters the conveying channel 10 for transportation to the next workstation; therefore, a steering mechanism 14 is set between the second pushing mechanism 13 and the conveying channel 10 to complete the steering action of the raw material.
[0055] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the steering mechanism 14 includes a steering motor 141, a steering transmission member 142, a steering shaft 143 and a steering block 144; the steering motor 141 is connected to the steering shaft 143 through the steering transmission member 142 to drive the steering shaft 143 to rotate; the steering block 144 is sleeved on the outside of the steering shaft 143, and the steering block 144 has at least two connecting teeth 1441, and at least two of the connecting teeth 1441 are evenly distributed relative to the central axis of the steering shaft 143, and the connecting teeth 1441 are configured to carry raw materials.
[0056] In this specific example, steering motor 141 drives steering transmission member 142, which in turn drives steering shaft 143 to rotate. Steering shaft 143, in turn, drives a connected steering block 144 to rotate synchronously. As steering block 144 rotates, the raw material carried by its connecting teeth 1441 rotates a predetermined angle to achieve a change in posture.
[0057] The specific number of connecting teeth 1441 provided is determined according to the predetermined angle that the rotation needs to achieve; for example, when the raw material needs to be rotated 180°, that is, the predetermined angle is 180°, the number of connecting teeth 1441 provided is two; when the raw material needs to be rotated 120°, that is, the predetermined angle is 120°, the number of connecting teeth 1441 provided is three; when the raw material needs to be rotated 90°, that is, the predetermined angle is 90°, the number of connecting teeth 1441 provided is four.
[0058] It can be understood that the posture of the raw material after being turned by the turning motor 141 is exactly matched with the conveying channel 10.
[0059] The steering transmission member 142 may include, for example, a driving pulley 1421, a driven pulley 1422, and a transmission belt 1420. The driving pulley 1421 is connected to the steering motor 141, the driven pulley 1422 is connected to the steering shaft 143, and the transmission belt 1420 is connected between the driving pulley 1421 and the driven pulley 1422. Furthermore, the steering transmission member 142 may also be a gear mechanism, a rack and pinion mechanism, a worm gear mechanism, or the like.
[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the loading equipment also includes a tray pushing mechanism 15 and a receiving bin 16, the tray pushing mechanism 15 is arranged at the bottom of the material storage bin 11, and the receiving bin 16 has a receiving entrance 160, and the receiving entrance 160 is located on the side of the material storage bin 11; the tray pushing mechanism 15 is configured to push the empty material tray to the receiving entrance 160.
[0061] In this specific example, the empty trays with the raw materials removed are transferred from the storage bin 11 by providing the tray pushing mechanism 15 and the receiving bin 16, so as to avoid the empty trays from hindering the transportation of the raw materials.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the plate pushing mechanism 15 is a servo traverse axis.
[0063] In this specific example, a servo traverse axis is used as the plate pushing mechanism, which has high-precision positioning capability and occupies less space.
[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the loading equipment also includes a collecting bin 17, which is arranged at the bottom of the receiving bin 16, and the collecting bin 17 has a collecting port 170. The receiving bin 16 also has a receiving outlet 161 connected to the receiving inlet 160, and the receiving outlet 161 is arranged corresponding to the collecting port 170.
[0065] In this specific example, the empty trays, from which the raw materials have been removed, are pushed by the tray pushing mechanism 15, sliding down through the receiving inlet 160 to the receiving outlet 161, and then entering the collection bin 17 through the collection port 170, awaiting their next use. After transiting through the receiving bin 16, the collection bin 17 stores the empty trays in a unified and orderly manner, preventing them from being scattered in disorder.
