[0045] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0046] Please see Figures 1-1 to 1-5 The present invention provides a dual-mode feeding device for laser processing equipment, comprising a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, a robotic arm assembly 3, and a material tray 4;

[0047] The first feeding mechanism 1 includes a first housing 11, a top feeding assembly 12, and a first distributing assembly 13. The first housing 11 is used to contain stacked sheet materials 100 from the outside. The top feeding assembly 12 lifts the stacked sheet materials 100 from the outside inside the first housing 11. The first distributing assembly 13 includes a plurality of brush heads 131. The brush heads 131 are located at the top of the first housing 11 and rub the edges of the stacked sheet materials 100 from the outside.

[0048] The second feeding mechanism 2 includes a second housing 21, a second distributing component 22 and a transfer component 23. The second housing 21 is used to place an external material rack 200, which is used to place multiple external sheet materials 100. The second distributing component 22 clamps the external material rack 100 and transfers a single sheet material 100 in the rack 200 to the transfer component 23.

[0049] The robotic arm assembly 3 transfers the external sheet material 100 inside the first box 11 to the material tray 4 one by one;

[0050] The robotic arm assembly 3 transfers the external sheet material 100 from the transfer assembly 23 to the material tray 4 one by one.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material tray 4 is located at the discharge end of the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2; the first feeding mechanism 1 includes a first housing 11, a top feeding assembly 12, and a first distributing assembly 13. External sheet materials 100 are stacked inside the first housing 11. The top feeding assembly 12 lifts the external sheet materials 100 from bottom to top. The first distributing assembly 13 includes several brush heads 131, divided into two groups, located on both sides of the width of the first housing 11. When a sheet material 100 at the top touches a brush head 131, the brush head 131 generates friction with the sheet material 100, separating two adjacent sheet materials 100. Then, the robotic arm assembly 3 picks up a single sheet material 100 from the top and transfers it to the material tray 4; the second feeding mechanism... Structure 2 includes a second housing 21, a second material distribution component 22, and a transfer component 23. The center line connecting the second housing 21 and the second material distribution component 22 intersects with the center line connecting the second material distribution component 22 and the transfer component 23. Preferably, the transfer component 23 is located between the first housing 11 and the material tray 4. The second housing 21 is used to place an external material rack 200. The external material rack 200 is used to place multiple external sheet materials 100. The multiple external sheet materials 100 are arranged vertically, with a spacing between adjacent sheet materials 100. The second material distribution component 22 picks up the external material rack 200 and transfers a single sheet material 100 in the rack 200 to the transfer component 23. The robotic arm component 3 picks up the single sheet material 100 and transfers it to the material tray 4 of the next process.

[0052] By setting up a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, and a robotic arm assembly 3, the first feeding mechanism 1 separates the stacked external sheet materials 100 that are attached to each other, and transfers them to the material tray 4 by the robotic arm assembly 3. The second feeding mechanism 2 includes a second housing 21, a second distributing assembly 22, and a transfer assembly 23. The second housing 21 supplies multiple external material racks 200, and each material rack 200 stores multiple sheet materials 100. The second distributing assembly 22 calibrates the material racks 200 in sequence and pushes the multiple sheet materials 100 in the material racks 200 one by one into the transfer assembly 23. Finally, the robotic arm assembly 3 transfers them to the material tray 4, realizing the feeding of sheet materials 100 in different storage states and meeting different production requirements.

[0053] Please see Figures 2-1 to 2-2 The first material separating component 13 further includes a mounting component 132. One end of the mounting component 132 is disposed on the first housing 11, and a plurality of brush heads 131 are disposed on the other end of the mounting component 132. Preferably, the mounting component 132 is strip-shaped and the mounting strip 132 is placed vertically. A plurality of brush heads 131 are installed on the top of the mounting strip 132. Preferably, each brush head 131 includes a plurality of bristles that rub against the external sheet material 100 to separate two adjacent sheets 100, thereby achieving the purpose of material separation.

[0054] The first material separating component 13 also includes an air blowing component 133, which is disposed on the mounting component 132. The air blowing component 133 is located between two adjacent brush heads 131. The air blowing component 133 is connected to an external air pipe. The brush head 131 first separates two adjacent sheet materials 100. Then, the air blowing component 133 blows airflow between the two adjacent sheet materials 100 to further separate the two adjacent sheet materials 100, ensuring the accuracy of the robotic arm component 3 in picking up a single sheet material 100.

[0055] The top material assembly 12 includes a lifting drive source 121 and a pallet 122. The pallet 122 is located inside the first housing 11.

The top material assembly 12 also includes a top rod. The two ends of the top rod are respectively connected to the lifting drive source 121 and the pallet 122. The top rod passes through the through hole. The pallet 122 is used to carry the external sheet material 100. Under the action of the lifting drive source 121, the pallet 122 moves upward, so that the external sheet material 100 approaches the brush head 131 one by one and is transferred by the robotic arm assembly 3.

Under the action of the conveyor 212, the external material rack 200 moves towards the second material distribution assembly 22, which facilitates the second material distribution assembly 22 to clamp a single external material rack 200. The baffles 213 prevent the material rack 200 from shifting direction during the conveying process.

[0057] The second material distribution assembly 22 includes a first guide rail 221, a second guide rail 222, a clamp 223, a corrector 224, a presser 225, and a pusher 226.

The clamp 223 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 222 to realize bidirectional movement in the horizontal and longitudinal directions. The clamp 223 clamps the material rack 200 supplied by the second housing 21. Preferably, the pressing component 225 includes a cylinder and a pressing block. The cylinder drives the pressing block to move horizontally. The pressing block presses the material rack 200 against the correction component 224 to perform horizontal correction on the entire material rack 200, that is, to ensure that all the sheet materials 100 in the material rack 200 are at a preset angle, so that the pushing component 226 can push the sheet materials 100 into the transfer component 23, thereby improving the controllability of production quality and the smoothness of production.

[0058] The clamp 223 includes a base, an upper clamp, a lower clamp, and an opening and closing drive. The base is slidably connected to the second guide rail 222. The opening and closing drive is located on the base and drives the upper and lower clamps to open and close.

The connecting plate 2263 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail 2264. The connecting plate 2263 is connected to the push rod 2265. By driving the swing rod 2262 to swing through the swing drive component 2261, the connecting plate 2263 moves linearly along the linear slide rail 2264, thereby realizing the linear movement of the push rod 2265 and pushing the individual sheet materials 100 in the material rack 200 into the transfer component 23 one by one.

[0060] The transfer component 23 includes a material trough 231, a material clamp 232, and a pusher drive 233. The pusher drive 233 drives the material clamp 232 to move. The material clamp 232 is used to hold the external sheet material 100 in the material trough 231, so that the robot arm component 3 can pick up a single sheet material 100.
