DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a separation and feeding device, comprising a transport mechanism 200, a separation trough 300, and a conveying mechanism 400. The transport mechanism 200 is used to transport products to subsequent equipment. The separation trough 300 is located on one side of the transport mechanism 200 and contains a lifting drive mechanism 320 and at least one separation trough 310. The lifting drive mechanism 320 is used to lift and adjust one end of the separation trough 310. The end of the separation trough 300 closest to the lifting drive mechanism 320 is provided with a water inlet pipe 301. The end of the separation trough 300 away from the lifting drive mechanism 320 is provided with a water outlet pipe 302. When the lifting drive mechanism 320 lowers the separation trough 310, the height of the separation trough 310 is lower than the height of the water inlet pipe 301. The bottom of the separation trough 300 is provided with a drainage hole 311. The conveying mechanism 400 is located above the separation trough 300 and the transport mechanism 200 and is used to transport products back and forth between the separation trough 310 and the transport mechanism 200.

[0021] The separation feeding device of the embodiment of the present invention is at work. Each time the conveying mechanism 400 sucks a product from the separation trough 310, the lifting drive mechanism 320 first drives one end of the separation trough 310 to lift and lower several times, so that the water entering from the outlet pipe 302 enters the separation trough 310 and swings with the separation trough 310 to form waves. The waves formed will flush the products in the separation trough 310 and flush away the adhered products, so as to prevent the conveying mechanism 400 from sucking up multiple adhered products together. The separation feeding device can automatically separate the products and place the separated products on the transport mechanism 200 to realize automatic feeding of the products. The separation feeding device of the embodiment of the present invention can improve the feeding efficiency, and does not require manual operation, thus freeing up human resources, and can avoid damage to the products during the manual separation and feeding process, thereby improving the quality of the products.

[0022] Reference Figure 1In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 200 and the separation tank 300 are both arranged on the frame 100, the transport mechanism 400 is arranged on the top of the frame 100, and the transport mechanism 200 is arranged on the front side of the separation tank 300. The transport mechanism 200 is a roller conveyor belt. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the separation tank 300 is a rectangular tank. The water inlet pipe 301 is located at the upper left corner of the left end surface of the separation tank 300, and the water outlet pipe 302 is located at the lower right corner of the left end surface of the separation tank 300. This allows water entering the separation tank 300 to flow along the separation tank 310 to the rear end of the separation tank 300 and then be discharged from the water outlet pipe 302. The lifting drive mechanism 320 is located at the front end of the separation tank 300 and includes two lifting cylinders 321 and lifting brackets 322. The two lifting cylinders 321 are respectively located on both sides of the separation tank 300, and the pistons of the two lifting cylinders 321 are respectively connected to the two ends of the lifting brackets 322. Two separation tanks 310 are arranged side by side in the separation tank 300, and the front ends of the two separation tanks 310 are placed side by side on the lifting brackets 322.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the separation tank 310 includes a bottom plate, a front plate 312, two side baffles 313, and a rear baffle 314. The bottom plate is rectangular, with the front plate 312 and rear baffle 314 located at the front and rear ends of the bottom plate, respectively. The two side baffles 313 are located on the left and right sides of the bottom plate, respectively. The front ends of the two side baffles 313 are connected to the ends of the front plate 312, and a gap is provided between the rear ends of the two side baffles 313 and the rear baffle 314 to allow water entering the separation tank 310 to drain through the gap between the side baffles 313 and the rear baffle 314. Drain holes 311 are provided on the bottom plate. In this embodiment, the bottom plate is provided with two parallel waist-shaped drainage holes 311. The front plate 312 is provided with a water inlet hole so that water entering from the water inlet pipe 301 can enter the separation tank 310 through the water inlet hole and flush the products from the front of the product stack. This ensures that the water in the separation tank 310 can flush the product stack from beginning to end, ensuring that any stuck products are flushed away. In this embodiment, the water inlet holes are circular holes, and multiple water inlet holes are arranged side by side on the front plate 312.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 400 includes an X-axis motion platform 420, a Y-axis motion platform 410, a Z-axis motion platform 430, and a suction cup 440. The suction cup 440 is disposed on the Z-axis motion platform 430, which is disposed on the X-axis motion platform 420. The X-axis motion platform 420 is disposed on the Y-axis motion platform 410. The suction cup 440 can move in the X, Y, and Z axes under the drive of the X-axis motion platform 420, the Y-axis motion platform 410, and the Z-axis motion platform 430. It is understood that the X-axis motion platform 420, the Y-axis motion platform 410, and the Z-axis motion platform 430 can be electric cylinders or linear motion platforms composed of a lead screw pair and a motor. In this embodiment, the X-axis motion platform 420, the Y-axis motion platform 410, and the Z-axis motion platform 430 are all electric cylinders. The Y-axis motion platform 410 also includes two Y-axis guide rails 411, which are arranged side by side on either side of the Y-axis electric cylinder. The Y-axis guide rails 411 and the Y-axis electric cylinder are arranged parallel to each other on the top of the frame 100. The X-axis electric cylinder is connected to the slider of the Y-axis electric cylinder via an X-axis bracket 412. The ends of the X-axis bracket 412 are respectively connected to the sliders of the two Y-axis guide rails 411. The Z-axis electric cylinder is connected to the slider of the X-axis guide rail via a Z-axis bracket 421. A suction cup bracket 431 is provided on the slider of the Z-axis electric cylinder. A suction cup 440 is hinged to the suction cup bracket 431 to adjust the angle of the suction cup 440 so that the suction nozzle on the suction cup 440 is parallel to the raised separation tank 310, facilitating the suction of products from the inclined separation tank 310. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the water vapor sucked in by the suction nozzle when sucking the product from damaging the vacuum source, a water vapor separator is connected between the suction nozzle and the vacuum source, which can separate the water vapor sucked in from the suction nozzle and prevent the water vapor from flowing into the vacuum source along the pipeline.
