Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of material transfer equipment, in particular to a feeding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, during the loading process of photovoltaic frame aluminum alloy, the aluminum alloy materials are prone to adhesion to each other. When the flipping robot grabs one material, the other adhered material is also lifted up. Due to the action of gravity, it falls freely and falls onto the loading table in an irregular manner, resulting in overlap and causing automatic shutdown, which leads to low processing efficiency in the production and processing of aluminum alloy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in combination with specific embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a feeding mechanism, including:

[0027] A first conveying assembly 11, wherein the first conveying assembly 11 has a first conveyor belt 12 for conveying aluminum materials;

[0028] A second conveying assembly 13, wherein the second conveying assembly 13 has a second conveyor belt 14 for conveying the aluminum material. The first conveyor belt 12 is used to feed the aluminum material onto the second conveyor belt 14. There are two second conveyor belts 14.

[0029] There are two drive assemblies 15 , and each drive assembly 15 controls only one of the second conveyor belts 14 to operate.

[0030] The technical effect of this solution is that it can prevent the aluminum material from sticking during loading and can ensure that the aluminum material on the second conveyor belt 14 does not tilt.

[0031] Compared to the single conveyor method used in the prior art, this solution adopts a dual conveyor method. A second conveyor assembly 13 is added to the end of the first conveyor assembly 11. When the second conveyor assembly 13 is operating, the first conveyor assembly 11 stops operating, and the aluminum materials are fed onto the first conveyor belt one at a time. This prevents the aluminum materials from sticking together and the problem of automatic shutdown caused by overlapping aluminum materials, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0032] When the aluminum material is fed to the second conveyor belt 14 through the first conveyor belt 12 , the two driving assemblies 15 work synchronously.

[0033] If the aluminum material tilts, the two drive assemblies 15 work as follows:

[0034] When the aluminum material on one of the second conveyor belts 14 reaches the designated position, one of the corresponding drive assemblies 15 stops working. The other drive assembly 15 continues to work and drives the other second conveyor belt 14 to continue working until the aluminum material on the second conveyor belt 14 reaches the designated position. At this time, the last drive assembly 15 also stops working, so that the tilted aluminum material can be adjusted straight.

[0035] Furthermore, the first transmission assembly 11 adopts the existing technology, wherein the two first conveyor belts 12 pass through the same drive motor 27, and a transmission assembly is provided between the two first conveyor belts 12.

[0036] The aluminum material is in the shape of a long strip and is placed on the first conveyor belt 12 along the width direction of the first conveyor belt 12 . The two first conveyor belts 12 jointly support and transport the aluminum material.

[0037] The end of the first conveyor belt 12 intersects with the beginning of the second conveyor belt 14 . When the aluminum material reaches the end of the first conveyor belt 12 , the aluminum material is simultaneously located on the beginning of the second conveyor belt 14 .

[0038] Furthermore, the second conveying assembly 13 further comprises a mounting seat, wherein the lower end of the mounting seat has a mounting plate 25, and both sides of the mounting plate 25 are provided with fixed arms 26. A second conveyor belt 14 is mounted on each fixed arm 26.

[0039] The drive assembly 15 includes a drive motor 27, a drive wheel 28, and a driven wheel 29. The drive motor 27 is mounted on the fixed arm 26, the drive wheel 28 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 27, and the driven wheel 29 is rotatably mounted on the fixed arm 26. The second conveyor belt 14 is sleeved on the drive wheel 28 and the driven wheel 29. Furthermore, there are multiple driven wheels 29.

[0040] As an implementation of this embodiment, a first photoelectric switch 16 is further included. The first photoelectric switch 16 is used to detect whether there is aluminum material at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 12.

[0041] As an implementation of this embodiment, a second photoelectric switch 17 is further included, which is used to detect whether there is aluminum material at the feeding end of the second conveyor belt 14, so that the robot can grab the aluminum material on the second conveyor belt 14.

[0042] Furthermore, the first photoelectric switch 16 and the second photoelectric switch 17 are respectively arranged on the mounting plate 25 through brackets.

[0043] As an implementation of this embodiment, the number of the second photoelectric switches 17 is two, and the two second photoelectric switches 17 are spaced apart along the width direction of the second conveyor belt 14 .

[0044] The technical effect of this solution is that it facilitates accurate detection of the position of the aluminum material on each second conveyor belt 14. The data is fed back to the controller so that the controller can control the drive motor 27 of each drive assembly 15, wherein the drive motor 27 is a servo motor or a variable frequency motor.

[0045] As an implementation of this embodiment, a base plate 19 is further included, and the first conveying assembly 11 is installed on the base plate 19 through a fixing frame 18.

[0046] This solution provides a specific installation form of the first transmission component 11.

[0047] As an implementation of this embodiment, the second conveying assembly 13 is installed on the base plate 19 through a height adjustment assembly 20 .

[0048] Specifically, the height adjustment assembly 20 includes:

[0049] A support plate 21, the support plate 21 is mounted on the base plate 19 via a fixing column 24;

[0050] A guide rod 22 slidably mounted in a vertical direction in a guide hole of the support plate 21 , with a top portion of the guide rod 22 fixed to the second conveying assembly 13 ;

[0051] The telescopic member 23 has a cylinder portion fixed on the support plate 21 , and a piston rod of the telescopic member 23 extends upward through an escape opening of the support plate 21 and is connected to the lower end of the second transmission assembly 13 .

[0052] The telescopic member 23 is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0053] This solution is used to adjust the height of the second conveyor assembly 13. There are two specific methods. One method is to adjust the upper end surface of the second conveyor belt 14 above the upper end surface of the first conveyor belt 12, and ensure that the second conveyor belt 14 is 1 to 2 centimeters higher than the first conveyor belt 12. At this time, the aluminum material on the first conveyor belt 12 can be quickly and smoothly transported to the second conveyor belt 14.

[0054] Another type is that the second conveyor belt 14 is not higher than the height of the first conveyor belt 12 in the initial state. When the aluminum material reaches the starting end of the second conveyor belt 14, the aluminum material is located at the end of the first conveyor belt 12. The telescopic member 23 stretches and drives the second conveyor belt 14 to be located above the first conveyor belt 12.

[0055] For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
