Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic mechanical equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic feeding mechanism for round boxes. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 6 The circular box shown serves as the supporting shell for the capacitor. Currently, capacitors are assembled automatically on production lines. However, as the basic components of the capacitor, they need to be placed at the very beginning of the production line and move along the line through various processes to install other parts inside the circular box. Therefore, the feeding speed of the circular box directly affects the production efficiency of the entire capacitor production line. Currently, the feeding of the circular box still relies on manual placement on the conveyor belt of the production line. This slow placement speed results in low production efficiency for the entire production line. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic feeding mechanism for round boxes, including a first feeding mechanism 10, a positioning mechanism 20, and a second feeding mechanism 30. The first feeding mechanism 10 is used to move the round box 40 close to the positioning mechanism 20. The positioning mechanism 20 is used to temporarily store the round box 40 in the middle. The second feeding mechanism 30 is used to move the round box 40 from the first feeding mechanism 10 to the positioning mechanism 20 and from the positioning mechanism 20 to the production line, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the round box 40, replacing manual feeding, and achieving high efficiency.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the first feeding mechanism 10 includes a placement trough 101, an L-shaped lifting belt 102, and a conveyor belt 103. The placement trough 101 is located at the horizontal part of the lifting belt 102, and the upper side of the lifting belt 102 is connected to the conveyor belt 103. Specifically, a batch of round boxes 40 are manually poured into the placement trough 101. The lifting belt 102 is equipped with a strip plate. The bottom of the round box 40 is heavier than the opening. Therefore, when the lifting belt 102 is driven upward, the bottom of the round box 40 falls on the strip plate and rises with the transmission of the lifting belt 102. A 7-shaped inclined channel is provided on one side of the lifting belt 102. When the round box 40 moves to the inclined channel with the lifting belt 102, it moves from the inclined channel and falls onto the conveyor belt 103. It then moves towards the positioning mechanism 20 with the transmission of the conveyor belt 103, thus realizing the first step of feeding.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 20 includes a positioning seat; specifically, the positioning seat includes two relatively movable clamping blocks 201, which are respectively mounted on the piston rod of the double-headed cylinder. The double-headed cylinder is controlled to close and separate the two clamping blocks 201 for positioning the disc, so that the positions of the first suction cup 3041 and the second suction cup 3051 are coincident, that is, the loading position of each round box 40 is uniform.
[0031] like Figure 4As shown, the second feeding mechanism 30 includes a support 301, on which a first suction cup 3041 and a second suction cup 3051 are movably mounted, and the first suction cup 3041 and the second suction cup 3051 are arranged in a staggered manner. Specifically, a first movable seat is provided on the support 301, and the first suction cup 3041 is mounted on the first movable seat. The first movable seat includes a first horizontal guide rail 302 and a first cylinder 304. The first cylinder 304 is movably mounted on the first horizontal guide rail 302, and the first suction cup 3041 is mounted on the piston rod of the first cylinder 304. The first cylinder 304 is controlled to move along the first horizontal guide rail 302. When the first movable cylinder moves to the end of the conveyor belt 103, the first movable cylinder is controlled to press down the first suction cup 3041 to suck up the round box 40, and then the first cylinder 304 is moved to the positioning seat, thus completing the automatic movement of the round box 40 to the positioning seat.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a second movable seat is provided on the support 301, and a second suction cup 3051 is installed on the second movable seat. The second movable seat includes a second horizontal guide rail 303, a lead screw 306, a motor 307, and a second cylinder 305. The lead screw 306 is vertically installed on the second horizontal guide rail 303, the motor 307 is installed on the upper end of the lead screw 306, and the second cylinder 305 is installed on the lead screw 306 by a nut. The second suction cup 3051 is installed on the piston rod of the second cylinder 305. Specifically, the lead screw moves along the second horizontal guide rail 303 to realize the back-and-forth movement between the positioning seat and the production line. The second cylinder 305 moves downward along the lead screw 306 to approach the round box 40 placed on the positioning seat. The second cylinder 305 extends downward to pick up the round box 40 with the second suction cup 3051, and finally moves it to the production line to realize automatic feeding. The two-stage picking method reduces the moving distance and improves the picking efficiency.
[0033] In addition, the base of the placement slot 101 is equipped with casters. By moving the placement slot 101, the position of the round box 40 on the conveyor belt 103 can be adjusted. The closer the placement slot 101 is to the positioning seat, the faster the conveying speed of the round box 40 is, thus realizing the adjustment of the feeding speed of the round box 40.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
