[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] The present invention discloses a bulk material feeder. Figure 1-10 As shown, the apparatus comprises: a feed frame 1 arranged in a frame structure, on which a feed mechanism 2 and a feeding mechanism 3 are mounted. The feeding mechanism 3 has two feeding mechanisms 3 arranged side by side, and the two feeding mechanisms 3 are located on the same side of the feed mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 3 includes a feed plate 31, a first feeding assembly 32, and a second feeding assembly 33. The first feeding assembly 32 is used to drive the feed plate 31 to move linearly along the Y-axis direction, and the second feeding assembly 33 is used to drive the first feeding assembly 32 to move linearly along the X-axis direction. The feed mechanism 2 is used to sequentially supply scattered patch materials to the feed plate 31. In this embodiment, the Y-axis direction is the axial direction of the feed plate 31, and the X-axis direction is the radial direction of the feed plate 31.

[0036] It should be noted that the first feeding component 32 is used to drive the feeding plate 31 to move linearly along the Y-axis direction, and the second feeding component 33 is used to drive the first feeding component 32 to move linearly along the X-axis direction; thereby providing a bulk material feeder, and since the two feeding mechanisms 3 feed materials in sequence, the feeding efficiency of the bulk material feeder is improved.

[0037] like Figure 1-6As shown, the feeding plate 31 is provided with a plurality of spaced placement slots 311, and the cross-section of the placement slots 311 is trapezoidal. It should be noted that, since the cross-section of the placement slots 311 is trapezoidal, it is easy for the patch material to be smoothly placed in the placement slots 311.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the feeding plate 31 is provided with an adsorption through hole 312 communicating with the placement groove 311. It should be noted that the adsorption through hole 312 is provided to facilitate vacuum adsorption of the patch material in the placement groove 311.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the first feeding assembly 32 includes a first feeding platform 321 and a first feeding motor 322. The feeding plate 31 is slidably connected to the first feeding platform 321, and the first feeding motor 322 is used to drive the feeding plate 31 to move linearly. In the specific implementation process, the first feeding motor 322 provides driving power, through a screw drive or belt drive, and drives the feeding plate 31 to move linearly along the Y-axis direction, facilitating the movement of receiving patch materials and returning to the original position.

[0040] It should be noted that the first feeding motor 322 is used to drive the feeding plate 31 to move linearly, so that the feeding slots on the feeding plate 31 enter the material receiving position in sequence, and the conveying component 25 places the patch material into the placement slot 311.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second feeding assembly 33 includes a second feeding base plate 331 and a second feeding motor 332. The second feeding motor 332 is used to drive the first feeding assembly 32 to move linearly on the second feeding base plate 331. In a specific implementation, the second feeding plate 31 is mounted on the feeding frame 1, and the first feeding table 321 is slidably connected to the second feeding base plate 331. The second feeding motor 332 drives the first feeding table 321 to move linearly on the second feeding base plate 331, moving the feeding plate 31 to the feeding position, facilitating the external SMT machine to absorb the SMT materials for SMT processing.

[0042] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a vibration plate 21, a linear feeder 22, a detection component 23, a steering component 24 and a transport component 25. The vibration plate 21 is used to receive a number of scattered patch materials and vibrate them, and the linear feeder 22 is used to output the scattered patch materials in sequence.

[0043] The detection component 23 is used to detect the material direction of the patch material, the steering component 24 is used to rotate the patch material to a preset patch direction, and the transport component 25 is used to transport the patch material so that the patch material can be transferred between multiple stations. In this embodiment, the transport component 25 plays a transport role, transporting the patch material and quickly transferring it between stations.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the detection component 23 includes a detection table 231 and a detection camera 232. The detection camera 232 is used to take photos of the patch material on the detection table 231 for detection. It should be noted that the detection camera 232 plays a detection role, taking photos of the patch material on the detection table 231 to identify the material direction of the patch material as the correct patch direction, the reverse patch direction, or the wrong patch direction. Among them, the reverse patch material is reversed by the steering component 24 and converted to the correct patch direction; the material in the wrong patch direction is removed by blowing.

[0045] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the steering assembly 24 includes a steering platform 241 and a steering motor 242. The steering motor 242 is used to drive the steering platform 241 to rotate so as to turn the patch material in the reverse direction to the patch material in the preset patch direction. It should be noted that the steering motor 242 has a rotational function, driving the steering platform 241 to rotate so as to turn the patch material in the reverse direction to the patch material in the preset patch direction.

[0046] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the transport assembly 25 includes a transport frame 251, a transport frame 252, and a transport motor 253. Three adsorption tubes 254 for adsorbing patch materials are sequentially mounted side by side on the transport frame 252. The transport motor 253 is used to drive the transport frame 252 to move so that the patch materials on the adsorption tubes 254 can be transferred between workstations. It should be noted that the drive action of the transport motor 253 drives the transport frame 252 to move, thereby driving the three adsorption tubes 254 to move. One adsorption tube 254 is used to transport the patch materials output by the linear feeder 22 to the inspection table 231 for inspection. Another adsorption tube 254 is used to move the patch materials that have been inspected on the inspection assembly 23 to the turning table 241 for deflection. The last adsorption tube 254 is used to move the patch materials that have been deflected on the deflection assembly 24 into the feed trough. Due to the arrangement of the three adsorption tubes 254, three patch materials can be transported simultaneously, and the transport efficiency of the transport assembly 25 can be greatly improved.

[0047] like Figure 7-9As shown, a buffer spring 255 for buffering the adsorption tube 254 is installed on the transport frame 252. It should be noted that the buffer spring 255 plays a buffering role, allowing the adsorption tube 254 to flexibly adsorb the patch material to prevent damage to the patch material.

[0048] Working principle: The first feeding component 32 is used to drive the feeding plate 31 to move linearly along the Y-axis direction, and the second feeding component 33 is used to drive the first feeding component 32 to move linearly along the X-axis direction; thereby providing a bulk material feeder. Since the two feeding mechanisms 3 feed materials in sequence, the feeding efficiency of the bulk material feeder is improved.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
