[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding and feeding of mechatronics, in particular to a special-shaped shell orderly feeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, special-shaped shell feeding is carried out by manual feeding, which is labor-intensive, low in production efficiency and high in cost for operators in large-scale production. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a special-shaped shell orderly feeding device for feeding out-of-order special-shaped shells. The height of the special-shaped shell is less than its width and length, the outer edge of the open end is flat, the open end is arranged in the width or length direction, and the open end of the out-of-order special-shaped shell is required to be buckled on the conveying belt with the opening downward for orderly transmission.

[0004] The feeding device comprises a conveying belt, an elevator, a feeding frame, a pushing mechanism, a return chute and a rectification mechanism. The feeding frame is used for placing out-of-order special-shaped shells, the lower end of the elevator is arranged in the feeding frame, and the upper end is arranged on one side of the conveying belt, which is used for conveying the special-shaped shells to the conveying belt. The rectification mechanism is installed on one side of the conveying belt, which is used for guiding the special-shaped shells with the open end not downward on the conveying belt to the return chute. The return chute is connected with the feeding frame and the conveying belt, which is used for guiding the special-shaped shells to the feeding frame for re-feeding. The pushing mechanism is arranged at the end of the conveying belt, which is used for pushing the special-shaped shells on the conveying belt to the next station.

[0005] The rectification mechanism is arranged to guide the special-shaped shells with the open end not downward to the return chute for re-feeding, so that the out-of-order special-shaped shells in the feeding frame are arranged in an orderly manner with the open end downward on the conveying belt.

[0006] Further, the rectification mechanism comprises a first baffle, a first push plate, a first linear motion mechanism and a position sensor. The first baffle is fixed on one side of the conveying belt, and the distance between the first baffle and the conveying belt is greater than the height of the special-shaped shell and less than the width and length of the special-shaped shell. Since the height of the special-shaped shell is less than its width and length, only the special-shaped shells with the open end downward or the open end upward can pass through the first baffle. The position sensor and the first push plate are arranged on the conveying belt after the first baffle, which are used for sensing the direction of the special-shaped shells on the conveying belt, i.e. the state of the open end upward or downward, and the first push plate is connected to one side of the conveying belt through the first linear motion mechanism, which is used for pushing the special-shaped shells with the open end upward to the return chute, so that only the special-shaped shells with the open end downward can pass through the first push plate.

Since the hemispherical special-shaped shell cannot maintain a stable state in the state of the open end upward, it will swing, and in most cases it cannot smoothly pass through the second baffle. Since the height of the special-shaped shell is smaller than its width and length, only the special-shaped shell with the open end downward and a small number of special-shaped shells with the open end upward can pass through the second baffle.

[0008] Further, the second baffle has a guide arc surface on the side in contact with the special-shaped shell, the guide arc surface points to the return chute, so that the special-shaped shell is more smooth in the process of being guided to the return chute.

[0009] Further, the position of the conveying belt connected to the return chute is lower than the other side of the conveying belt, so that the hemispherical special-shaped shell with the open end upward cannot maintain the state of the open end horizontal, and can only be guided to the return chute at the second baffle.

[0010] Further, the elevator is a push plate feeding machine, which can more effectively convey the special-shaped shell to the conveying belt.

[0011] Further, the pushing mechanism comprises a second push plate, a second linear motion mechanism and a proximity switch, the proximity switch is used to sense whether there is a special-shaped shell at the position, the second push plate is installed on one side of the conveying belt through the second linear motion mechanism, and is used to push the special-shaped shell at the position to the next station.

[0012] Further, the conveying belt further comprises a buffer section at the end, and the pushing mechanism is provided with a plurality of pushing mechanisms for pushing a plurality of special-shaped shells to the next station at a time.

[0013] Further, a three-dimensional material taking mechanism is further provided, comprising an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, a Z-axis moving mechanism and a material taking mechanism. The fixed end of the Y-axis moving mechanism is connected to the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism, the fixed end of the Z-axis moving mechanism is connected to the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism, and the material taking mechanism is connected to the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism. The material taking mechanism comprises a visual recognition mechanism and a magnetic attraction mechanism, the visual recognition mechanism comprises a camera and a processing mechanism, and is used to identify the position of the special-shaped shell. The magnetic attraction mechanism comprises an electromagnet arranged at the bottom of the material taking mechanism, and is used to attract the special-shaped shell. The special-shaped shell can be automatically transferred from the disordered material frame to the feeding frame or the return chute.

[0014] Further, the magnetic attraction mechanism further comprises a magnetic attraction frame, a position sensing sensor and a buffer pad. The electromagnet is installed at the bottom of the magnetic attraction frame, the position sensing sensor is connected between the magnetic attraction frame and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism, and is used for sensing whether the electromagnet contacts the special-shaped shell, i.e. whether displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism, if the electromagnet contacts the special-shaped shell, displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism. The buffer pad is installed on the magnetic attraction frame and is used for buffering between the magnetic attraction frame and the position sensing sensor.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] Embodiment 1

The height of the special-shaped shell 1 is less than its width and length, the outer edge of the open end is flat, the open end is arranged in the width or length direction, and it is required that the open end of the disordered special-shaped shell 1 is buckled downward on the conveying belt 2 for orderly transmission.

The first baffle 8 is fixed on one side of the conveying belt 2, and the distance between the first baffle 8 and the conveying belt 2 is greater than the height of the special-shaped shell 1 and less than the width and length of the special-shaped shell 1. Since the height of the special-shaped shell 1 is less than its width and length, only the special-shaped shell 1 with the open end facing downward or upward can pass through the first baffle 8. Referring to Figure 3 The position sensor 11 and the first push plate 9 are arranged behind the first baffle 8 on the conveying belt 2, for sensing the direction of the special-shaped shell 1 on the conveying belt 2, i.e. the state of the open end facing upward or downward. The first push plate 9 is connected to one side of the conveying belt 2 through the first linear motion mechanism 10, for pushing the special-shaped shell 1 with the open end facing upward to the return chute 6, so that only the special-shaped shell 1 with the open end facing downward can pass through the first push plate 9.

The second push plate 12 is installed on one side of the conveying belt 2 through the second linear motion mechanism 13, for pushing the special-shaped shell 1 at the position to the next station. Preferably, the conveying belt 2 further comprises a buffer section 15 at the end, and the pushing mechanism 5 is provided with several, for pushing several special-shaped shells 1 to the next station at a time.

The fixed end of the X-axis moving mechanism 17 is fixed on the ground, the fixed end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 18 is connected to the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism 17, the fixed end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19 is connected to the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 18, and the material taking mechanism 20 is connected to the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. Referring to Figure 5 The material taking mechanism 20 comprises a visual recognition mechanism 21 and a magnetic attraction mechanism 22. The visual recognition mechanism 21 comprises a camera and a processing mechanism, for recognizing the position of the special-shaped shell 1. The magnetic attraction mechanism 22 comprises an electromagnet 23 arranged at the bottom of the material taking mechanism 20, for attracting the special-shaped shell 1. The special-shaped shell 1 can be automatically transferred from the disordered material frame 24 to the feeding frame 4 or the return chute 6.

[0032] Referring to Figure 6The magnetic attraction mechanism 22 further comprises a magnetic attraction frame 25, a position sensing sensor 26 and a buffer pad 27. The electromagnet 23 is installed at the bottom of the magnetic attraction frame 25, and the position sensing sensor 26 is connected between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19, for sensing whether the electromagnet 23 contacts the special-shaped shell 1, i.e. whether displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. If the electromagnet 23 contacts the special-shaped shell 1, displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. After the electromagnet 23 contacts the special-shaped shell 1, the electromagnet 23 is powered to attract the special-shaped shell. The buffer pad 27 is installed on the magnetic attraction frame 25, for buffering between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the position sensing sensor 26.

[0033] The disorder correction mechanism 7 guides the special-shaped shell 1 with the opening end not facing downward to the return chute 6, so as to re-feed the special-shaped shell 1 in the feeding frame 4, and arrange the special-shaped shell 1 in an orderly manner with the opening end facing downward on the conveying belt 2.

[0034] Embodiment 2

[0036] The feeding device comprises a conveying belt 2, an elevator 3, a feeding frame 4, a pushing mechanism 5, a return chute 6 and a disorder correction mechanism 7. The feeding frame 4 is used for placing the unordered special-shaped shell 1. The lower end of the elevator 3 is arranged in the feeding frame 4, and the upper end is arranged on one side of the conveying belt 2, for conveying the special-shaped shell 1 to the conveying belt 2. The disorder correction mechanism 7 is arranged on one side of the conveying belt 2, for guiding the special-shaped shell 1 with the opening end not facing downward on the conveying belt 2 to the return chute 6.

Since the special-shaped shell 1 in the state of the open end upward cannot maintain a stable state and will swing, in most cases, it cannot smoothly pass through the second baffle 28. Since the height of the special-shaped shell 1 is less than its width and length, only the special-shaped shell 1 with the open end downward and a small number of special-shaped shells 1 with the open end upward can pass through the second baffle 28. Preferably, the second baffle 28 has a guide arc surface 29 on the side in contact with the special-shaped shell 1, and the guide arc surface 29 points to the return chute 6, so that the special-shaped shell 1 is more smoothly guided to the return chute 6.

[0038] Preferably, the position of the conveying belt 2 connected with the return chute 6 is lower than the other side of the conveying belt 2, so that the special-shaped shell 1 with the open end upward cannot maintain the state of the open end horizontal, and can only be guided to the return chute 6 at the second baffle 28.

[0039] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a second pushing plate 12, a second linear motion mechanism 13 and a proximity switch 14 for sensing whether the special-shaped shell 1 exists at the position, the second pushing plate 12 is installed on one side of the conveying belt 2 through the second linear motion mechanism 13, and is used for pushing the special-shaped shell 1 at the position to the next station.

The buffer section 15 of the embodiment adopts a section of conveying belt perpendicular to the original conveying direction.

[0040] Preferably, a three-dimensional material taking mechanism 16 is further provided, which includes an X-axis moving mechanism 17, a Y-axis moving mechanism 18, a Z-axis moving mechanism 19 and a material taking mechanism 20. The fixed end of the X-axis moving mechanism 17 is fixed on the ground, the fixed end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 18 is connected with the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism 17, the fixed end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19 is connected with the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 18, and the material taking mechanism 20 is connected with the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. The material taking mechanism 20 includes a visual recognition mechanism 21 and a magnetic attraction mechanism 22. The visual recognition mechanism 21 includes a camera and a processing mechanism, and is used for recognizing the position of the special-shaped shell 1. The magnetic attraction mechanism 22 includes an electromagnet 23 arranged at the bottom of the material taking mechanism 20, and is used for attracting the special-shaped shell 1. The special-shaped shell 1 can be automatically transferred from the disorder material frame 24 to the feeding frame 4 or the return chute 6.

[0041] The magnetic attraction mechanism 22 further comprises a magnetic attraction frame 25, a position sensing sensor 26 and a buffer pad 27. The electromagnet 23 is installed at the bottom of the magnetic attraction frame 25, and the position sensing sensor 26 is connected between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19, for sensing whether the electromagnet 23 contacts the special-shaped shell 1, i.e. whether displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. If the electromagnet 23 contacts the special-shaped shell 1, displacement occurs between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 19. The buffer pad 27 is installed on the magnetic attraction frame 25, for buffering between the magnetic attraction frame 25 and the position sensing sensor 26.

[0042] Through the setting of the rectification mechanism 7, the half-spherical special-shaped shell 1 with the opening end facing upwards is guided back to the material returning groove 6, and re-feeding is performed, so that the disordered special-shaped shells 1 in the feeding frame 4 are in an orderly arrangement state with the opening end facing downwards on the conveying belt 2.

[0043] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
