[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 — Figure 7 :

[0039] A smart working device for robots includes a cabinet 1 and a shelf 2. A robotic arm 3 with a gripper at its end is mounted on one side of the top of the cabinet 1. The top and front of the cabinet 1 have a loading notch 10 and an inlet notch 11, respectively. The shelf 2 is detachably connected to the inlet notch 11. A loading rack 4, driven by a lead screw motor 40, is installed inside the cabinet 1. A servo motor 41 with its output end in the front-rear direction is fixed to the rear end of the loading rack 4. A drive wheel 410 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 41. A axial direction of front-rear is provided on the upper part of the loading rack 4. The front and rear lead screws 411 are oriented in the direction of the drive wheel 410. The rear ends of the front and rear lead screws 411 are coaxially fixed with driven wheels 412 that are adapted to drive wheels 410. The lead screws 411 are connected to lead screw sliders 413. The upper end of the lead screw sliders 413 is provided with a contact part 414 for the bottom of the feeding tray 5 to abut against. The rear end of the shelf 2 is provided with a feeding notch 20 that communicates with the feeding notch 11. Several sets of symmetrical support pulleys 21 are provided on the two side walls inside the shelf 2. The feeding trays 5 are provided on the symmetrical support pulleys 21, and the trays 50 are fixed on the feeding trays 5.

[0040] During implementation, the shelving 2 stacks materials on pallets 50, where the pallets 50 are fixedly connected to the feeding trays 5 by bolts, so that the pallets 50 on each layer of feeding trays 5 are in the same position. The shelving provides that each layer of feeding trays 50 has the same structure, only the height of each layer is different.

[0041] After the materials are stacked on the shelf, it approaches the cabinet 1, and the inlet 11 of the cabinet corresponds to the feeding 20. The loading rack 4, driven by the lead screw motor 40 inside the cabinet, moves up and down. After moving to the corresponding position, the servo motor 41 drives the lead screw slider 413 on the front and rear lead screws to move back and forth. During the movement, the abutment part 414 abuts and matches with the bottom of the loading tray 5, thereby realizing the accurate gripping of objects of different heights.

[0042] The driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected by a belt, and they are matched with each other using a ring belt.

[0043] Additionally, the supporting pulley 21 is in the form of a roller, with roller shafts at both ends. The roller shafts are fitted with bearings, or the bearing surfaces are fitted with rubber rings.

[0044] This feeding equipment has a high degree of automation and a wide feeding range, which greatly improves the efficiency of processing operations.

[0045] Preferably, both sides of the feeding rack 4 are provided with feeding side plates 42, and the end of the lead screw motor 40 is fixed to the feeding side plate 42. One side of the inner wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a longitudinal lead screw 12 adapted to the lead screw motor 40, and the other side of the inner wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a second longitudinal lead screw with the same structure as the longitudinal lead screw 12. A synchronous shaft 43 is passed between the two feeding side plates 42, and both ends of the synchronous shaft 43 are coaxially fixed with synchronous pulleys 430, and the synchronous pulleys 430 are adapted to the longitudinal lead screw 12 and the second longitudinal lead screw.

[0046] In the above structure, the lead screw motor 40 serves as the main output power source for vertical movement. Due to its single quantity, when the output end of the drive side is connected to the longitudinal lead screw 12, there will be some lag at the other end. Therefore, a synchronous shaft 43 is set to give the vertically moving feeder 4 stability on both sides.

[0047] Preferably, the synchronous pulley 430, the output end of the lead screw motor 40, the longitudinal lead screw 12, and the second longitudinal lead screw all have helical teeth. The purpose of the helical teeth is to enhance the overlap ratio, reduce vibration during transmission, and ensure overall stability during longitudinal movement.

[0048] Preferably, the outer ends of both feeding side plates 42 are fixed with guide sliders 420, and the two inner side walls of the cabinet 1 are respectively provided with longitudinal guide rails 13 adapted to the guide sliders 420.

[0049] The above structure is adopted to provide a certain degree of guidance for vertical movement while maintaining a synchronous shaft. This prevents rotation in the axial direction at the output end of the lead screw motor 40. In actual use, a single guide rail 13 can solve the vertical guidance problem, but considering the stability and synchronization on both sides, a double guide rail 13 configuration is adopted on both sides.

[0050] Preferably, the top of the feeding rack 4 is covered with a guide cover 6, the guide cover 6 includes a guide platform 60, the guide platform 60 is provided with a guide groove 61 in the front-back direction, the abutment part 414 extends out of the guide groove 61, when the front and rear lead screws 411 drive the lead screw slider 413 to move back and forth, the bottom of the abutment part 414 slides back and forth along the guide groove 61.

[0051] In the above structure, the guide cover 6 not only provides good protection for components such as the front and rear lead screws 411, but also provides a certain support for the feeding pallet 5, so that the feeding pallet will not sway left and right when it moves back and forth.

[0052] Preferably, the upper end of the feeding rack 4 is provided with a front and rear slide rail 44, and a front and rear slider 440 slides on the front and rear slide rail 44. A connecting plate 45 is fixed between the top of the front and rear slider 440 and the lead screw slider 413. A guide post 450 extending out of the guide groove 61 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate 45, and the abutment part 414 is sleeved on the top of the guide post 450. The front and rear slider 440 on the front and rear slide rail 44 can provide guidance and stability for the connecting plate 45 on the lead screw slider, and the guide post 450 is convenient for installation by extending out of the abutment part 414 of the guide groove 61.

[0053] In the above structure, the contact part 414 is a ring-shaped rubber pad. This increases friction and provides a certain degree of compressive deformation capability.

[0054] Preferably, the bottom of the front end of the feeding tray 5 is provided with an abutment groove 51 that is adapted to the abutment part 414. The abutment groove 51 is provided so that the feeding tray 5 can be easily adapted to the abutment part 414, facilitating the fitting and adaptation.

[0055] Preferably, the upper end of the feeding rack 4 is fixed with a limiting corner block 46 and a vibration damping part 47. The limiting corner block 46 can effectively limit the forward and backward movement of the feeding tray 5 to the end, while the vibration damping part 47 is designed to provide a certain buffer when the feeding tray 5 moves to the end.

[0056] Preferably, a U-shaped limiting notch 14 is provided at the bottom of the front side of the cabinet 1, and a limiting end 22 adapted to the limiting notch 14 is provided at the front side of the bottom of the shelf 2. When the limiting end 22 is embedded in the limiting notch 14, the feeding notch 11 is connected to and corresponds to the feeding notch 20.

[0057] In order for the servo motor 41 to accurately grasp the feeding tray 5 during the driving process, the feeding notch 11 on the shelf 2 and the feeding notch 20 on the shelf need to be accurately aligned. The set limit notch 14 and limit end 22 can effectively achieve the positioning effect.

[0058] Preferably, the front side of the shelf 2 is provided with a push handle 23 for easy pushing by the user.

[0059] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
