Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production and processing of electronic components, specifically to a feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In existing mechanized production, it is often necessary to move pallets loaded with products to a loading position for transport equipment to load and move the products. Currently, most pallet conveying relies on manual handling, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. While automated equipment solves the manual loading problem, it also presents several challenges. For example, two or more pallets may be moved together, or pallets filled with products may need to be manually separated one by one before being moved by the equipment. This can lead to inaccurate pallet transport, affecting subsequent processing. Furthermore, after loading, pallets need to be removed and stacked by the transport equipment before new pallets can be moved, further reducing loading efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding mechanism to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A feeding mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The frame includes a tray loading area, a feeding area, and a tray receiving area;

[0007] The tray loading area is supported by a material dropping limiting mechanism. A support mechanism for adsorbing the tray is set at the corresponding position below the tray. The trays are placed one by one from the material dropping limiting mechanism onto the support mechanism, and the support mechanism places the trays into the carrier.

[0008] The drive unit connected to the carrier transfers the pallet from the loading area to the feeding area. After feeding is completed, the pallet is transferred to the receiving area. The push mechanism pushes the pallet upward until it lands on the top of the stacking limiting mechanism.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material dropping limiting mechanism includes: a first cylinder disposed on the frame, a second cylinder disposed on the first cylinder, a connecting plate disposed on the driving end of the second cylinder, and a card plate disposed on the connecting plate extending into and supporting the bottom of the tray.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supporting mechanism includes: a third cylinder disposed on the frame, a first base plate disposed on the third cylinder, first fixing columns symmetrically disposed at intervals on the first base plate, a first carrier plate disposed on the first fixing columns, a notch being opened on the first carrier plate, a suction cup seat disposed in the notch, the top of the suction cup seat being flush with or lower than the surface of the first carrier plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving component includes: a fourth cylinder disposed on the frame, a double-layer plate disposed on the fourth cylinder, a linear mold disposed on the double-layer plate, and at least two carriers disposed on the moving plate of the linear mold.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two ends of the carrier are provided with protrusions that are higher than the tray.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the frame is provided with a stop to limit the upward pushing of the pallet, so as to realize the loading and positioning of the pallet.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pushing mechanism includes: a fifth cylinder disposed on the frame, a second base plate disposed on the fifth cylinder, second fixed columns symmetrically disposed at intervals on the second base plate, a second carrier plate disposed on the second fixed columns, and the second carrier plate being located on both sides of the carrier to realize the upward pushing of the pallet.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stacking limiting mechanism includes: a mounting base disposed on the frame, a rotating block disposed in the mounting base via a rotating shaft, one end of the rotating block being provided with an inclined edge, and the inclined edge facing the pallet.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the frame is provided with baffles located at the loading area and the unloading area. The baffles are L-shaped to restrict the position of the trays.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: the mechanism realizes the integrated setting of loading, feeding and unloading, which improves automation. At the same time, it avoids the simultaneous handling of two or more pallets during pallet loading, which would affect subsequent processing. Furthermore, the pallet on the carrier can support two pallets, so loading or unloading of the loaded pallets can be carried out at the same time as pallet loading, which improves processing efficiency.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism, including: a frame 100, which includes a tray loading area 200, a feeding area 300 and a tray receiving area 400. These three areas can be arranged sequentially from left to right or from right to left, or according to actual needs.

[0028] Within the palletizing area 200, multiple pallets 11 are supported by a material dropping limiting mechanism 21. Each pallet 11 has a square structure and contains several products, which are stacked vertically. An L-shaped baffle 12 is installed on the frame 100 in this area. The baffle 12 is vertically installed, and the adjacent corners of each pallet 11 are close to the baffle 12. The baffle 12 restricts the position of the pallets 11 to ensure that the pallets 11 do not shift when dropping materials.

[0029] The material discharge limiting mechanism 21 includes: a first cylinder 211 mounted on the frame 100; a second cylinder 212 mounted on the first cylinder 211; a connecting plate 213 mounted on the drive end of the second cylinder 212; and a clamping plate 214 extending into and supporting the bottom of the pallet 11 mounted on the connecting plate 213. The first cylinder 211 is vertically positioned, and the second cylinder 212 is horizontally positioned. The first cylinder 211 adjusts the clamping plate 214 in the height direction, while the second cylinder 212 drives the connecting plate 213 and the clamping plate 214 to move, so that the clamping plate 214 supports all the pallets 11 to be loaded.

[0030] In addition, a support mechanism 22 for adsorbing the tray 11 is provided at a corresponding position below the tray 11. The support mechanism 22 includes: a third cylinder 221 provided on the frame 100, a first base plate 222 provided on the third cylinder 221, first fixing posts 223 symmetrically arranged at intervals on the first base plate 222, a first carrier plate 224 provided on the first fixing posts 223, a notch 225 opened on the first carrier plate 224, a suction cup seat 226 provided in the notch 225, and the top of the suction cup seat 226 being flush with or lower than the surface of the first carrier plate 224.

[0031] The pallets 11 are placed one by one from the material dropping limiting mechanism 21 onto the supporting mechanism 22. Specifically, when the material dropping limiting mechanism 21 is running, the first carrier plate 224 is driven upward by the third cylinder 221, and the first carrier plate 224 supports the bottom pallet 11. At this time, the second cylinder 212 drives the clamping plate 214 to detach from the pallet 11. After detachment, the clamping plate 214 is driven upward a distance by the first cylinder 211. Then, the second cylinder 212 drives the clamping plate 214 to extend into the bottom of the second to last pallet 11 to support the pallets 11 except the bottom one. At this time, the bottom pallet 11 falls on the first carrier plate 224. In order to ensure the stability of the pallets 11 on the first carrier plate 224, the pallets 11 are adsorbed and fixed by the suction cup seat 226 to avoid two or more pallets 11 being moved at the same time when the pallets 11 are loaded, which would affect subsequent processing.

[0032] In addition, the supporting mechanism 22 places the pallet 11 into the carrier 313. Specifically, the pallet 11 on the first carrier plate 224 moves downward by the third cylinder 221. When the pallet 11 lands on the carrier 313, the suction cup seat 226 stops operating. The two ends of the carrier 313 are provided with protrusions 3131 that are higher than the pallet 11, which ensures the accurate positioning of the pallet 11 and the stability of subsequent movement.

[0033] The aforementioned carrier 313 is connected to the drive unit 31, which transfers the pallet 11 from the loading area 200 to the feeding area 300. The drive unit 31 includes: a fourth cylinder 311 mounted on the frame 100, a double-layer plate 314 mounted on the fourth cylinder 311, a linear mold 312 mounted on the double-layer plate 314, and at least two carriers 313 mounted on the moving plate 315 of the linear module. Specifically, the linear module drives the moving plate 315 and carriers 313 to move left and right. When the pallet 11 is transferred into the feeding area 300, the fourth cylinder 311 is activated, driving the linear module, carriers 313, and pallet 11 to move upward. A stop block 13 is mounted on the frame 100. When the pallet 11 moves upward, the top of the pallet 11 abuts against the stop block 13, thereby limiting the pallet 11 from being pushed upward further. At this time, the position of the pallet 11 is the feeding position, ensuring the accurate positioning of the pallet 11. While the other carrier 313 is loading the material onto the pallet 11, it also performs palletizing to improve processing efficiency.

[0034] After the loading is completed, the pallet 11 is transferred to the receiving area 400. At this time, the newly loaded pallet 11 enters the loading area 300 for loading, and the loaded pallet 11 enters the receiving area 400. The pallet 11 is pushed upward by the pushing mechanism 41 until it lands on the top of the stacking limit mechanism 42.

[0035] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 41 includes: a fifth cylinder 411 mounted on the frame 100, a second base plate 412 mounted on the fifth cylinder 411, second fixing columns 413 symmetrically arranged at intervals on the second base plate 412, and a second carrier plate 414 mounted on the second fixing columns 413. The second carrier plate 414 is located on both sides of the carrier 313 to push the tray 11 upward.

[0036] The stacking limiting mechanism 42 includes: a mounting base 421 disposed on the frame 100, a rotating block 422 disposed in the mounting base 421 via a rotating shaft 424, and a bevel 423 disposed at one end of the rotating block 422, the bevel 423 being directed toward the pallet 11.

[0037] When the tray 11 enters the receiving area 400, the fifth cylinder 411 is activated to drive the second carrier plate 414 upward and push against the tray 11 on the carrier 313. The tray 11 first contacts the rotating block 422, squeezing the inclined edge 423 of the rotating block 422, causing the rotating block 422 to rotate. The tray 11 continues to move upward and moves to the corresponding position above the rotating block 422. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating block 422 and the mounting base 421. The force generated by the torsion spring causes the rotating block 422 to return to its original position when it is not in contact with the tray 11. Then, the fifth cylinder 411 drives the second carrier plate 414 downward, and the tray 11 is piled on the top surface of the rotating block 422. An L-shaped baffle 12 is provided on the frame 100 in this area, which works on the same principle as the baffle 12 in the loading area 200.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
