[0043] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a feeding device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0045] The transfer component 1 includes a second clamping assembly 11 and a rotating assembly 12. The second clamping assembly 11 includes two second clamping units 13. The rotating assembly 12 includes a rotating cylinder 121 and a rotating plate 122 disposed at the output end of the rotating cylinder 121. The two second clamping units 13 are respectively disposed on both sides of the rotating plate 122.

[0046] The clamping and feeding component 2 includes a first clamping assembly 21 and a material transfer assembly 22 that drives the first clamping assembly 21 to perform translational movement;

[0047] Conveyor belt 3;

[0048] The rotating plate 122 is located at the intermediate transfer position on the side closer to the clamping and feeding component 2 and at the loading position on the side farther away from the clamping and feeding component 2. The material transfer component 22 is used to move the first clamping component 21 to the intermediate transfer position. The intermediate transfer component 1 transfers the workpiece on the intermediate transfer position to the loading position. The conveyor belt 3 is used to send the workpiece at the loading position away from the clamping and feeding component 2.

[0049] The aforementioned feeding device uses a first clamping assembly 21 to clamp the workpiece, a transfer assembly 22 to move the first clamping assembly 21 to a transfer position, a rotary cylinder 121 to transfer the workpiece from the transfer position to the feeding position, and a conveyor belt 3 to send the workpiece from the feeding position away from the clamping and feeding component 2, thereby realizing the workpiece feeding action. At the same time, the rotary cylinder 121 drives two second clamping units 13 on the rotating plate 122. During the rotation and reset process, the rotary cylinder 121 realizes the transfer action, thereby saving reset time and improving the feeding speed and feeding efficiency.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the first clamping assembly 21 includes a movable base 211 and a clamping unit 212 disposed on the movable base 211. The clamping unit 212 includes a clamping cylinder 213 disposed on the movable base 211 and a clamping jaw 214 disposed at the output end of the clamping cylinder 213. The clamping jaw 214 includes a clamping seat 215, a drive shaft 216 disposed on the clamping seat 215, and a first jaw post 217 and a second jaw post 218 slidably connected to the clamping seat 215. The first jaw post 217 and the second jaw post 218 are respectively hinged to the drive shaft 216 through a connecting rod assembly 219. Thus, when the output end of the clamping cylinder 213 retracts, the drive shaft 216 moves toward the clamping cylinder 213, and the connecting rod assembly 219 drives the first jaw post 217 and the second jaw post 218 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the workpiece between the first jaw post 217 and the second jaw post 218, realizing the clamping function.

[0051] In one embodiment, the material transfer assembly 22 is connected to the movable seat 211 via a buffer unit 23. The buffer unit 23 includes a connecting seat 231 driven by the material transfer assembly 22, a connecting post 232 connecting the movable seat 211 and the connecting seat 231, and a buffer spring 233 sleeved on the connecting post 232. The connecting seat 231 is provided with a sliding sleeve adapted to the connecting post 232. Thus, when the clamping cylinder 213 drives the drive shaft 216 to perform telescopic movement, the fixed end of the clamping cylinder 213 connected to the movable seat 211 will generate a reaction force. The reaction force is absorbed and compressed by the buffer spring 233, thereby stabilizing the clamping action of the clamping claw 214.

[0052] In one embodiment, the material transfer assembly 22 includes a first support 221, a moving motor 222 mounted on the first support 221, and a moving transmission unit 223 driven by the moving motor 222. The moving transmission unit 223 includes a moving lead screw 224 connected to the output shaft hub of the moving motor 222, and a moving lead screw seat 225 driven by the moving lead screw 224. The connecting seat 231 is connected to the moving lead screw seat 225. Thus, the moving motor 222 drives the moving lead screw 224 to rotate, and the moving lead screw seat 225 drives the connecting seat 231 to move, resulting in stable and reliable movement.

[0053] In one embodiment, the clamping and feeding component 2 further includes a lifting assembly 24; the lifting assembly 24 includes a lifting motor 241 and a lifting transmission unit 242 driven by the lifting motor 241; the lifting motor 241 drives the first support 221 to perform lifting and lowering actions through the lifting transmission unit 242. Specifically, the lifting transmission unit 242 has the same transmission structure as the moving transmission unit 223.

[0054] In one embodiment, the rotating plate 122 is connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder 121 via a lifting mechanism 14; the lifting mechanism 14 includes a lifting cylinder for driving the rotating plate 122 to perform lifting and lowering actions. Thus, by driving the rotating plate 122 to perform lifting and lowering actions via the moving transmission unit 223, the position of the second clamping unit 13 clamping action can be made closer to the material dropping point.

[0055] In one embodiment, the second clamping unit 13 includes a drive cylinder 131 and a clamping block 132 disposed on the drive cylinder 131; the clamping block 132 is a rubber block, silicone block, nylon block, or plastic block. Thus, by having the rubber block, silicone block, nylon block, or plastic block contact the workpiece, damage to the aluminum alloy workpiece caused by impacts can be avoided, thus preventing impact on the quality of the finished product.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a loading component 4 is also included. The loading component 4 includes two clamping assemblies. Each clamping assembly includes a clamping unit 41, a lifting unit 42, and a moving unit 43. The clamping unit 41 includes a mounting base 411, a rotating mechanism 412 mounted on the mounting base 411, and clamping claws 413 mounted on the rotating mechanism 412. The lifting unit 42 drives the mounting base 411 to perform lifting and lowering actions. The moving unit 43 drives the mounting base 411 to perform translational actions. Thus, by clamping the workpiece with the clamping claws 413, rotating the clamping claws 413 to perform rotational actions with the rotating mechanism 412, lifting the mounting base 411 to perform lifting and lowering actions with the lifting unit 42, and translational actions with the moving unit 43, the clamping assembly can perform multi-degree-of-freedom clamping and loading actions. At the same time, by setting two clamping assemblies, the two clamping assemblies alternately perform clamping and loading actions, thereby improving the handling efficiency.

[0057] In one embodiment, the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating mechanism 412 is a first plane, and the plane containing the line of motion of the moving unit 43 driving the mounting base 411 is a second plane; the first plane and the second plane are the same plane.

[0058] In one embodiment, the extension and retraction direction of the clamping cylinder 213 is perpendicular to the plane containing the rotation direction of the rotating mechanism 412.

[0059] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt 3 includes a conveyor support 31, a conveyor motor 32 mounted on the conveyor support 31, and a pulley unit 33 driven by the conveyor motor 32; the pulley unit 33 includes a conveyor belt surrounding the conveyor support 31. Specifically, the pulley unit 33 includes a first pulley connected to the output shaft hub of the conveyor motor 32, a second pulley connected to the first pulley via a synchronous belt, and a drive roller connected to the shaft hub of the second pulley, with the conveyor belt in frictional contact with the drive roller.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
