Currently, rolls of label tape are typically arranged interchangeably on a material rack. Labels are sequentially released from the tape, reaching the loading position for the label suction head to pick up. Once all labels on a roll are used, the empty roll must be removed, replaced with a new roll, and then installed and tested. However, this process is time-consuming, heavily reliant on manual operation, and severely impacts production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0044] See Figures 1 to 13As shown, an automatic feeding device for a mounting equipment is used to supply materials to the mounting equipment. The materials are mounted on a material rack 5, which is supplied as a whole to the loading station of the mounting equipment. Here, the materials are labels for mounting, which are attached to a tape and rolled up to form a material roll 54. The material roll 54 is arranged on the material rack 5, which is equipped with a material roll release assembly for releasing the material roll 54 so that the labels on it can be exposed one by one for use. The structure of the material roll release assembly is not the focus of this application, and its specific structure can adopt the structure of the prior art. Material rolls 54 are pre-arranged and installed on material rack 5 and pre-tested. Then, as material rack 5 is fed into the loading station of the mounting equipment, automatic and rapid material feeding is achieved. After all material rolls 54 on material rack 5 have been released, that is, after all labels have been taken, material rack 5 can be moved out of the loading station and replaced with a new material rack 5. This achieves rapid and automatic replacement of material rack 5 without stopping the machine to test the position and status of material rolls 54.

[0045] Specifically, the feeding device includes a moving mechanism 1, a support seat 3, and a connecting mechanism 2. The moving mechanism 1 includes a moving body 11 and a transmission component 12 disposed on the moving body 11. The transmission component 12 has a transmission path for transmitting the material rack 5 along a first direction. The support seat 3 is mainly used to support the material rack 5 at the loading station. The connecting mechanism 2 has two sets of transmission tracks 22 disposed at intervals along a second direction. The transmission mechanism on the connecting mechanism 2 enables the material rack 5 to be transmitted along the extension direction of the two sets of transmission tracks 22. Here, the transmission track 22 extends along the first direction and can be connected to the transmission component 12. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and is defined based on the state when the moving mechanism 1 and the connecting mechanism 2 are connected. The support seat 3 is located between the two sets of transmission tracks 22. The support seat 3 is also provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning and fixing the material rack 5 on the support seat 3.

[0046] In this way, the material rack 5 loaded with materials is first transported to the moving mechanism 1 and moves with the moving mechanism 1. During the movement towards the loading station of the placement equipment, the transmission path of the transmission component 12 is maintained along the first direction, so that the transmission component 12 aligns with the transmission track 22 to be loaded in the first direction. The transmission component 12 of the moving mechanism 1 operates and transmits the material rack 5 to the joining mechanism 2. After the material rack 5 is transferred to the transmission track 22, under the action of the transmission mechanism on the joining mechanism 2, the material rack 5 continues to move towards the loading station along the first direction until the material rack 5 reaches the loading station and is supported on the support seat 3, and the loading of the material rack 5 is completed. When the materials on the material rack 5 are used up, the transmission mechanism of the joining mechanism 2 first works to transmit the material rack 5 towards the moving mechanism 1 along the first direction until all the material rack 5 has been transmitted out of the placement equipment. The empty material rack 5 is transferred to the transmission component 12 on the moving mechanism 1 and is transferred to the designated position to replace the material roll 54 with the movement of the moving mechanism 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the material rack 5 has a base 51 at the bottom and a housing 53 above the base 51. All components on the material rack 5 are mounted on the base 51 and the housing 53. In the moving mechanism 1, the moving vehicle 11 at the bottom mainly enables the moving mechanism 1 to move along a preset route. The transmission component 12 is mainly used to transfer the material rack 5 between the mounting equipment and the moving mechanism 1. Specifically, the transmission component 12 includes a transmission roller 121 and a guide seat 122. The transmission roller 121 has multiple rollers arranged sequentially along a first direction, and all transmission rollers 121 extend along a second direction. The guide seat 122 has two sets arranged at intervals along the second direction. A guide groove is formed between the guide seat 122 and the transmission roller 121. The guide grooves on both sides together form a guide channel that allows the base 51 to slide into it. When the material rack 5 is transported on the transmission component 12, the guide channel provides the base 51 with a vertical limit, ensuring that the material rack 5 is transported smoothly along the first direction.

[0048] See Figure 5 As shown, multiple rollers 52 are rotatably arranged on the base 51. When the base 51 and the guide groove cooperate with each other, the rollers 52 roll against the groove wall of the guide groove, so that the material rack 5 has less resistance and smoother movement when it is transported along the transmission assembly 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the transmission component 12 has two sets arranged sequentially along a first direction. Each set of transmission components 12 has a first end adjacent to the other set of transmission components 12 and a second end for the material rack 5 to enter and exit. The first end and the second end are two ends of the transmission component 12 that are different along the first direction. When the moving mechanism 1 and the joining mechanism 2 are connected, one of the second ends is connected to the joining mechanism 2 along the first direction. In specific use, the second end of one set of transmission components 12 can be connected to the joining mechanism 2 first, so that the material rack 5 with used material on the mounting equipment is first transferred to one set of transmission components 12 of the moving mechanism 1. Then, the moving mechanism 1 moves to turn around or rotate 180 degrees, so that the second end of the other set of transmission components 12 is connected to the joining mechanism 2, and the material rack 5 with material on the other set of transmission components 12 is transferred to the joining mechanism 2 and transferred to the feeding mechanism, realizing automatic material changing.

[0050] See Figures 5 to 8 As shown, a limiting member 123 is provided on the first end of the transmission assembly 12. The limiting member 123 is specifically disposed on the guide seat 122 to limit the position of the material rack 5 on the transmission assembly 12. A blocking member 124 is provided on the second end. The blocking member 124 is vertically movable, so that the blocking member 124 has a blocking state protruding above the transmission roller 121 and a retracted state located below the transmission roller 121. When the material rack 5 needs to enter the transmission assembly 12 from the second end or be conveyed outward from the transmission assembly 12, the blocking member 124 is converted to the retracted state, so that the material rack 5 can be conveyed on the transmission assembly 12 in the first direction. When the material rack 5 is completely conveyed onto the transmission assembly 12, the blocking member 124 is converted to the blocking state, so that the blocking member 124 and the limiting member 123 cooperate with each other to form a blocking and limiting effect on the material rack 5 in the first direction. In this way, the moving mechanism 1 can smoothly convey the material rack 5 and prevent the material rack 5 from slipping or falling.

[0051] Here, the blocking member 124 is flat and is configured to extend and retract vertically between two of the transmission rollers 121. The moving vehicle body 11 is also provided with a lifting cylinder (not shown in the figure) for driving the blocking member 124 to rise and fall vertically.

[0052] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the support base 3 can be vertically raised and lowered. The positioning mechanism on the support base 3 specifically includes a docking structure 31 disposed on the support base 3. The bottom of the material rack 5 is provided with a mating structure (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the docking structure 31. When the docking structure 31 and the mating structure cooperate, the material rack 5 is located at the loading station on the mounting equipment. Specifically, the mating structure is the power connection structure on the material rack 5, and the docking structure 31 is the corresponding power connector. After the docking structure 31 and the mating structure are connected, the power supply structure on the material rack 5 can be connected to the power supply on the mounting equipment, so that the components on the material rack 5 can move and automatically release the material roll 54.

[0053] The support base 3 also has multiple upwardly protruding support bosses 33, which are spaced apart from each other and provide stable support for the base 51 of the material rack 5. The positioning mechanism on the support base 3 also includes multiple positioning pins 32, which are spaced apart from each other and all extend vertically. The height of the positioning pins 32 is higher than that of the support bosses 33. The material rack 5 is provided with multiple positioning grooves (not shown in the figure) that cooperate with the multiple positioning pins 32. When the multiple positioning grooves of the material rack 5 cooperate with the multiple positioning pins 32 for positioning, the material rack 5 is positioned at the loading station. The positioning mechanism also includes a positioning component, which includes a positioning detector 36 for detecting whether the material rack 5 has been transferred to the correct position, and a positioning stopper 35 for limiting the transfer position of the material rack 5 along the transfer track 22. When the material rack 5 is at the loading station, the positioning stopper 35 abuts against one side of the material rack 5 in a first direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism in the joining mechanism 2 specifically adopts a double-speed chain transmission line, which has a transmission line composed of multiple transmission rollers 21 disposed on both sides of the bearing seat 3. It also includes a motor 23, which transmits power through a chain gear and a chain 24. The transmission tracks 22 on both sides provide guidance for the material rack 5 when it is transported along the first direction.

[0055] Thus, during the process of material rack 5 being transported along the first direction on the joining mechanism 2, when the positioning detector 36 detects that material rack 5 has been transported to the correct position, the positioning blocker 35 blocks material rack 5, preventing it from continuing to be transported backward, and sends a signal to the joining mechanism 2 to stop transporting material rack 5. Subsequently, the support seat 3 rises vertically, so that the positioning pin 32 on the support seat 3 corresponds to the positioning groove on the base 51, and the docking structure 31 and the mating structure cooperate and connect with each other. In this way, material rack 5 is transferred to the loading station. At this time, the picking head 41 of the picking mechanism 4 on the mounting equipment can pick up the material from material rack 5 for automatic mounting processing. Conversely, when the material on material rack 5 is used up, the support seat 3 descends vertically, so that the positioning pin 32 automatically disengages from the positioning groove on the base 51, and at the same time, the mating structure at the bottom of the base 51 disengages from the docking structure 31, and then the joining mechanism 2 transports it toward the moving mechanism 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, the loading station has two sets arranged sequentially along the second direction. Correspondingly, the joining mechanism 2 and the bearing seat 3 are also provided in two sets. The moving mechanism 1 is configured to alternately convey or transmit the material rack 5 to the two loading stations. This ensures that the mounting equipment can operate without stopping and greatly improves the mounting processing efficiency.

[0057] In summary, the automatic feeding device of this utility model integrates materials on the material rack 5 and feeds them as a whole to the loading station of the mounting equipment by the moving mechanism 1, realizing automatic and rapid material feeding. After the material roll 54 on the material rack 5 is released, the material rack 5 can be moved out of the loading station as a whole by the moving mechanism 1, and a new material rack 5 can be replaced at the loading station, realizing rapid material replacement. There is no need to stop the machine to adjust the position and status of the material roll 54, which greatly saves the time for debugging and installation and significantly improves the mounting processing efficiency.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made based on the essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
