[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a feeding device for an automatic tray loading machine. The feeding device is used to feed aluminum trays 7 so that ceramic sheets can be loaded into the aluminum trays 7 one by one, thereby completing the automatic tray loading of ceramic sheets and improving production efficiency.

[0026] Specifically, the feeding device includes a loading assembly 1, a picking assembly 2, a feeding assembly 3, a discharging assembly 4, a unloading assembly 5, and a frame 6. The picking assembly 2, feeding assembly 3, and discharging assembly 4 are respectively located on the top surface of the frame 6, while the loading assembly 1 and unloading assembly 5 are respectively located on both sides of the frame 6. The discharging assembly 4 is mounted above the feeding assembly 3, and a picking assembly 2 is located on each side of the discharging assembly 4. The loading assembly 1 and unloading assembly 5 are located at both ends of the feeding assembly 3 along its length.

[0027] To address this, when the automatic tray loading machine is in operation, the operator first stacks multiple aluminum trays 7 on the feeding component 1. Then, a set of picking components 2 is activated, which picks up the aluminum trays 7 from the feeding component 1 and places them on one end of the feeding component 3. The feeding component 3 then transports the aluminum trays 7 to the bottom of the unloading component 4, so that the unloading component 4 can load the ceramic pieces one by one into the compartments of the aluminum trays 7. After the aluminum trays 7 are full of ceramic pieces, the feeding component 3 continues to transport the aluminum trays 7 to the other end of the feeding component 3. Then, another set of picking components 2 picks up the aluminum trays 7 from the feeding component 3 and places them on the unloading component 5. This process is repeated continuously to achieve automatic feeding and unloading of the aluminum trays 7.

[0028] Simultaneously, as the aluminum trays 7 stacked at the feeding component 1 are continuously removed by the picking component 2, the feeding component 1 can slowly rise to raise the aluminum trays 7 to the picking height. Since the aluminum trays 7 at the unloading component 5 are continuously stacked by the picking component 2, and their height gradually increases, the unloading component 5 can slowly descend to lower the top of the aluminum trays 7 to the unloading height of the picking component 2, facilitating the operation of the picking component 2. This application optimizes the existing automatic tray loading machine to achieve automatic feeding and unloading of aluminum trays 7, thereby reducing labor costs and improving the ease of use and efficiency of the automatic tray loading machine.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one specific embodiment, the feeding component 1 and the unloading component 5 have the same structure and working principle, and the feeding component 1 and the unloading component 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 6. Therefore, this embodiment describes the feeding component 1, and will not repeat the structure and working principle of the unloading component 5.

[0030] The feeding assembly 1 includes a first driving component 11 and a first loading platform 12. The first driving component 11 is fixed to one side of the frame 6, and the first loading platform 12 is located at the feeding end of the feeding assembly 3. The driving end of the first driving component 11 is connected to the first loading platform 12, and the first driving component 11 drives the first loading platform 12 to move in the vertical direction. The first loading platform 12 is used to stack aluminum trays 7.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first driving component 11 includes a first motor 111, a belt 112, a connecting block 114, a screw 115, and a set of first guide rails 113. The first guide rails 113 are vertically fixed to one side of the frame 6 along their length. The screw 115 is rotatably connected to the frame 6 and is located in the middle of the first guide rails 113. The connecting block 114 is sleeved on the screw 115 and is threadedly connected to the screw 115. In this embodiment, the first loading platform 12 is a right-angled platform, including a fixing part 121 and a loading part 122. The loading part 122 is used to stack aluminum trays 7. The fixing part 121 is fixed to the connecting block 114, and both ends of the fixing part 121 are slidably connected to the first guide rails 113 via sliders. The first motor 111 is mounted at the bottom of the frame 6 and located to one side of the screw 115. The belt 112 is rotatably connected to the output end of the first motor 111 and the bottom end of the screw 115.

[0032] When the feeding assembly 1 is working, the aluminum trays 7 are first stacked on the loading section 122. Then, the first motor 111 is started, which drives the belt 112 to rotate, and the belt 112 drives the screw 115 to rotate. At this time, the screw 115 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 114, which drives the connecting block 114 to move upward along the screw 115, thereby raising the aluminum trays 7 to the picking height so that the picking assembly 2 can pick up the top aluminum trays 7. The first guide rail 113 guides the rise of the first loading platform 12 and improves the stability of the rise of the first loading platform 12.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the material handling assembly 2 includes a second driving member 21, a third driving member 22, and a suction nozzle 23. The second driving member 21 is horizontally fixed to the top surface of the frame 6, and its driving direction is parallel to the driving direction of the feeding assembly 3. The third driving member 22 is slidably connected to the second driving member 21, and the suction nozzle 23 is mounted on the third driving member 22, positioned directly above the feeding assembly 3. The third driving member 22 drives the suction nozzle 23 to move vertically. In this embodiment, the second driving member 21 is a servo module.

[0034] Specifically, the third driving component 22 includes a sliding frame 221, a second motor 222, a second guide rail 223, and a connecting frame 224. The sliding frame 221 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the second driving component 21, allowing the second driving component 21 to drive the sliding frame 221 to slide. The second motor 222 is fixed to the sliding frame 221, and the connecting frame 224 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 222. A suction nozzle 23 is vertically mounted downwards on the connecting frame 224. In this embodiment, four suction nozzles 23 are provided, each fixed to one of the four corners of the connecting frame 224 to adsorb the four corners of the aluminum disk 7, thus improving the stability of the aluminum disk 7.

[0035] When the material handling assembly 2 is working, the second motor 222 is first started to drive the connecting frame 224 to descend to the material handling height so that the suction nozzle 23 on the connecting frame 224 can pick up the aluminum tray 7. Then the second motor 222 drives the connecting frame 224 to rise to the conveying height. After the connecting frame 224 stops rising, the second drive component 21 is started. The second drive component 21 drives the third drive component 22 to slide horizontally to one end near the material dispensing assembly 4. Then the second motor 222 is started to drive the connecting frame 224 to descend so that the aluminum tray 7 can be placed on the feeding assembly 3. The feeding assembly 1 and the material handling assembly 2 cooperate with each other to complete the feeding of the aluminum tray 7 by the feeding device.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the feeding assembly 3 includes a fourth driving member 31 and a second loading platform 32. The fourth driving member 31 is horizontally fixed to the top surface of the frame 6, and the second loading platform 32 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the fourth driving member 31. The second loading platform 32 is used to hold the aluminum tray 7. In this embodiment, the fourth driving member 31 is a servo module.

[0037] After the picking component 2 places the aluminum tray 7 on the second loading platform 32, the fourth drive component 31 is activated to move the second loading platform 32 below the discharging component 4, so that the discharging component 4 can place the ceramic sheets into the aluminum tray 7. After the aluminum tray 7 is full of ceramic sheets, the fourth drive component 31 continues to move the second loading platform 32 to one end closer to the unloading component 5, so that another set of picking components 2 can remove the aluminum tray 7 from the second loading platform 32. The picking component 2 removes and places the aluminum tray 7 on the first loading platform 12 of the unloading component 5. As the picking component 2 continuously stacks the aluminum tray 7, the height of the aluminum tray 7 gradually increases, and the unloading component 5 can slowly descend to lower the top of the aluminum tray 7 to the discharging height of the picking component 2, facilitating the operation of the picking component 2. When the aluminum tray 7 is stacked to the set height, the worker removes the aluminum tray 7 from the first loading platform 12.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
