[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0029] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 8 As shown.

[0032] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 6 A feeding device with a carrier unloading mechanism includes: two parallel crossbeams 1, the inner sides of which are connected to a belt conveyor mechanism 2; the carrier unloading mechanism includes multiple movable locking tongue structures 4, each crossbeam 1 is connected to at least one of the movable locking tongue structures 4, the movable locking tongue structure 4 includes a locking tongue 43 for lifting the carrier and a driving mechanism for driving the locking tongue 43 to move; the carrier unloading mechanism also includes a lifting mechanism 3 disposed between the two crossbeams 1, the lifting mechanism 3 being used to lift the carrier into the belt conveyor mechanism 2.

[0033] This technical solution improves upon the existing feeding device by adding a carrier unloading mechanism. This mechanism directly transports the carrier to the feeding device, thus avoiding manual transport. In specific implementation, a movable locking tongue structure 4 is installed on the crossbeam 1 to support the carrier. It can be understood that by installing movable locking tongue structures 4 on two crossbeams 1, each crossbeam 1 has a locking tongue 43. When the width of the locking tongue 43 is sufficiently large, only two movable locking tongue structures 4 can be installed, with the two locking tongues 43 supporting the two sides of the lowest carrier. Furthermore, it can be understood that in actual production, the carrier can be configured as a stackable structure, allowing multiple carriers to be stacked on the locking tongues 43, while each carrier can hold processed parts. When the bottommost vehicle needs to be transported to the belt conveyor 2, the following steps are performed: 1. The lifting mechanism 3 lifts the middle of the bottommost vehicle; 2. The drive structure drives the locking tongue 43 to retract, and the locking tongue 43 leaves the bottommost vehicle; 3. The lifting mechanism 3 moves down again, carrying all the vehicles until the locking tongue 43 corresponds to the bottom of the contact surface of the second-to-last vehicle; 4. The drive structure drives the locking tongue 43 to move forward, and the front end of the locking tongue 43 inserts into the bottom of the contact surface of the second-to-last vehicle; 5. The lifting mechanism 3 continues to move down, carrying all the vehicles, and the locking tongue 43 abuts against and lifts the contact surface of the second-to-last vehicle, while the two sides of the bottommost vehicle abut against the belt of the corresponding belt conveyor 2; 6. The lifting mechanism 3 continues to move again, separating from the bottommost vehicle, and the vehicle moves forward under the traction of the belt conveyor 2, and the second-to-last vehicle becomes the last vehicle. Then, at the scheduled time, repeat steps 1 through 6. This process requires no manual intervention and can effectively reduce labor costs.

[0034] Secondly, it should be noted that the carrier is stackable. Furthermore, both sides of the carrier may have slots or notches that mate with the locking tongue 43. When the locking tongue 43 mates with the carrier, it inserts into the slot or notch on one side of the carrier and supports the carrier. The belt conveyor mechanism 2 can be existing technology, comprising a servo motor and multiple pulleys.

[0035] See Figures 4 to 6 The movable locking tongue structure 4 includes a fixing block 41 fixedly connected to the crossbeam 1. The upper end of the fixing block 41 is provided with a through hole 42 that cooperates with the locking tongue 43. The side of the fixing block 41 away from the crossbeam 1 is connected to the drive mechanism.

[0036] The movable latch structure 4 is mainly fixedly connected to the crossbeam 1 through the fixing block 41. In this embodiment, there are 4 movable latch structures 4, which are distributed at the 4 endpoints of a rectangle. The middle part of the fixing block 41 is provided with a through hole 42 for the latch 43 to move. The driving mechanism can be a linear module to drive the latch 43 to move back and forth. The linear module can be a linear motor, etc.

[0037] See Figure 6 The fixed block 41 is connected to two intermediate blocks 45 on the side away from the crossbeam 1. The driving mechanism is a driving cylinder 46. A cylinder fixing seat 47 is connected between the two intermediate blocks 45. A through hole 42 is provided in the middle of the cylinder fixing seat 47. The cylinder fixing seat 47 is connected to the driving cylinder 46. The push rod of the driving cylinder 46 passes through the through hole 42 and is connected to the locking tongue 43.

[0038] For ease of implementation, this embodiment exemplarily sets the driving mechanism as a driving cylinder 46, which is connected to the fixed block 41 via a cylinder mounting base 47 and an intermediate block 45.

[0039] See Figure 5 Two intermediate blocks 45 are spaced apart. The upper end of the cylinder mounting base 47 extends to both sides with lugs 48, which are fixedly connected to the intermediate blocks 45. The lugs 48 are provided with waist-shaped grooves 49, and the upper end face of the intermediate blocks 45 is provided with threaded holes. The lugs 48 are connected to the intermediate blocks 45 by bolts.

[0040] See Figure 6 The rear end of the locking tongue 43 is provided with a T-shaped locking hole and connected to a T-shaped locking block. One end of the T-shaped locking block is provided with an insertion hole and is inserted into the push rod.

[0041] To facilitate the connection between the latch 43 and the push rod, this technical solution provides a T-shaped locking hole and a T-shaped locking block at the rear end of the latch 43. The T-shaped locking block engages with the T-shaped locking hole, and the end of the T-shaped locking block is inserted into the push rod through a socket. The insertion can be an interference fit, and during installation, it can be installed using the thermal expansion and contraction method.

[0042] Secondly, the lower front end of the latch 43 is provided with an inclined surface.

[0043] To facilitate the insertion of the front end of the locking tongue 43 between two adjacent carriers, the front end of the locking tongue 43 needs to be set as a pointed tip, preferably V-shaped; therefore, this technical solution provides an inclined surface on the lower side of the front end of the locking tongue 43.

[0044] See Figures 4 to 6 The fixing block 41 is inverted L-shaped. The horizontal section and vertical section of the fixing block 41 abut against the upper end face and vertical side face of the crossbeam 1, respectively. The vertical section of the fixing block 41 is provided with a connecting hole and is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 1 through a connector.

[0045] To facilitate the connection between the fixing block 41 and the crossbeam 1, this technical solution provides a notch at the lower front end of the fixing block 41, making the fixing block 41 an inverted L-shape. The fixing block 41 has two contact surfaces with the crossbeam 1. The upper end face of the crossbeam 1 directly bears the load of the fixing block 41, and the lower end face of the crossbeam 1 is connected to the fixing block 41 through a connector, such as a bolt.

[0046] See Figure 4 as well as Figure 1 , Figure 3 The fixed block 41 is connected to support blocks 44 on both sides, and the front end of the support block 44 is connected to an L-shaped baffle 5 arranged laterally.

[0047] L-shaped baffles 5 are used to restrict the vehicle. In this embodiment, four L-shaped baffles 5 are provided. The four L-shaped baffles 5 surround the vehicle inside them to prevent the vehicle from moving during the up and down movement.

[0048] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a support frame, which includes support blocks 38 on both sides and a bearing plate 34 connected between the two support blocks 38. A lifting cylinder 33 is connected to the middle of the lower end face of the bearing plate 34. The push rod of the lifting cylinder 33 passes through the bearing plate 34 and is connected to the lifting plate 31. Several guide rods 36 are connected to the lower end face of the lifting plate 31. The bearing plate 34 is connected to a linear bearing 35 that cooperates with the guide rods 36. The guide rods 36 are sleeved with the linear bearings 35.

[0049] The lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the vehicle. The lifting mechanism 3 mainly relies on the lifting cylinder 33 to lift the support plate 34. During lifting, in order to enable the lifting plate 31 to move up and down smoothly, the lifting plate 31 is connected to the guide rod 36. The support plate 34 is equipped with a linear bearing 35. The cooperation between the guide rod 36 and the linear bearing 35 promotes the smooth lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 31.

[0050] Furthermore, the lifting plate 31 is provided with a plurality of horizontally arranged connecting grooves 32 and / or a plurality of vertically arranged connecting grooves 32, and each connecting groove 32 is connected to a lifting piece 37, one end of which extends out of the lifting plate 31.

[0051] The lifting plate 31 mainly mates with the middle of the vehicle. To accommodate vehicles of various sizes when the vehicle dimensions change, a lifting piece 37 is provided, eliminating the need to replace the lifting plate 31. This makes it convenient to use.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
