[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0042] The core of the utility model is to provide a kind of charging mechanism, and the charging efficiency of the charging mechanism is higher.The other core of the utility model is to provide a kind of production equipment comprising the above-mentioned charging mechanism.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides a kind of charging mechanism, including bunker 1 and charging assembly 2. Among them, the inside of bunker 1 has linear type charging channel 11 extending along first direction, charging channel 11 is used to stack several thin plates 10 to be processed, and bunker 1 has discharge port 12 and plug interface 13, discharge port 12 is located on one side of charging channel 11 along first direction, plug interface 13 is located on the other side of charging channel 11 along first direction, and discharge port 12 and plug interface 13 are all communicated with charging channel 11;The output end of charging assembly 2 is movably arranged along first direction, to be inserted into charging channel 11 by plug interface 13 and push thin plate 10 close to discharge port 12.

[0044] Bunker 1 is used to place and store thin plate 10 to be processed, for example, bunker 1 can adopt linear thin shell structure, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the hopper 1 has a straight channel extending along the X direction in the middle as a feeding channel 11. Optionally, the feeding channel 11 can accommodate two parallel thin plates 10 in the same plane. Optionally, the shape of the feeding channel 11 is the same as the shape of the thin plate 10 to be processed, and the feeding channel 11 can be clearance-fitted with the thin plate 10, etc. The upper end of the hopper 1 has an opening communicating with the feeding channel 11 as a discharge port 12, so that the thin plate 10 can be put into the hopper 1 through the discharge port 12 or taken out of the hopper 1. The lower end of the hopper 1 has an opening communicating with the feeding channel 11 as an insertion interface 13. The cross-sectional width of the insertion interface 13 is smaller than the width of the thin plate 10 to be put into the feeding channel 11, so that the thin plate 10 cannot fall through the insertion interface 13.

[0045] The feeding component 2 can adopt a structure that outputs linear motion, such as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder. The output end of the feeding component 2 can extend into the feeding channel 11 through the insertion interface 13 and continue to move in the first direction, i.e. the X direction, in the feeding channel 11. This can push the thin plate 10 stacked inside the hopper 1 so that the thin plate 10 closest to the discharge port 12 is moved to the preset position of the hopper 1 for the next material picking operation.

[0046] In use, several thin plates 10 are stacked and placed into the hopper 1. The feeding component 2 is started to push the thin plates 10 located in the feeding channel 11 through its output end until the thin plate 10 closest to the discharge port 12 moves to the preset position.

[0047] The feeding mechanism can store a large number of thin plates 10 to be processed, and can automatically move the thin plates 10 to the preset position of the hopper 1 for material retrieval, which greatly improves the feeding efficiency of the thin plates 10 and greatly shortens the downtime of the equipment for feeding, reducing the labor intensity of the operators.

[0048] Based on the above embodiment, a plurality of hoppers 1 are spaced apart on the top of the connector 3. The connector 3 is connected to the drive assembly 4. Under the drive of the drive assembly 4, the connector 3 can move the plurality of hoppers 1 to the preset loading position.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, several hoppers 1 are arranged on the top of the connector 3. The drive component 4 is used to drive the connector 3 to translate or rotate, so as to move the several hoppers 1 on the connector 3 one by one to the preset feeding position for easy material handling. In this embodiment, the output end of the feeding component 2 can extend into or out of the feeding channel 11 through the plug interface 13. After the thin plate 10 in the hopper 1 at the preset feeding position is pushed, the output end of the feeding component 2 is first withdrawn from the hopper 1, and then the connector 3 is driven by the drive component 4 to move another hopper 1 to the preset feeding position.

[0050] It should be noted that there is no restriction on the arrangement of several hoppers 1 on the connector 3. For example, several hoppers 1 can be arranged in an array on the connector 3, or several hoppers 1 can be evenly arranged around the rotation center of the connector 3. With such a setting, the movement displacement of several hoppers 1 to the preset loading position can be predicted, so as to facilitate control.

[0051] Based on the above embodiment, it also includes a plurality of support seats 5 and rollers 6, with the plurality of rollers 6 rotatably disposed on the corresponding support seats 5; the connecting member 3 is disposed on the top of the plurality of rollers 6, and the rotation axis of the rollers 6 extends radially along the connecting member 3.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a support base 5 and a roller 6 are provided below the connector 3 to allow the connector 3 to rotate. The support base 5 can adopt an arched structure or a U-shaped structure, etc., and three or four equal numbers of support bases 5 are distributed around the rotation center of the connector 3. The roller 6 is rotatably mounted on the support base 5 via a pin or the like. The roller 6 can adopt a bearing or a disc structure, etc., and the axial direction of the roller 6 is the radial direction of its contact position with the connector 3, so that the connector 3 can roll with the roller 6 to reduce frictional loss when the connector 3 rotates.

[0053] Preferably, each hopper 1 is evenly arranged around the rotation center of the connector 3, and the rotation output from the end of the drive assembly 4 can drive the connector 3 to rotate. It should be noted that the type of drive assembly 4 is not limited, as long as it can drive the connector 3 to rotate. For example, in some specific embodiments, the drive assembly 4 includes a prime mover 41 that outputs rotation and a reducer 42. The prime mover 41 is connected to the rotation center of the connector 3 through the reducer 42 to drive the connector 3 to rotate. The reducer 42 can be a flange-type reducer or any other type of reducer 42. The position where the connector 3 is connected to the output end of the reducer 42 is the rotation center of the connector 3. Alternatively, in other specific embodiments, the drive assembly 4 includes a motor and a double crank mechanism. The motor provides power to the double crank mechanism to drive the crank at the output end of the double crank structure to rotate, and the free end of the rocker arm is hinged to the connector 3 to drive the connector 3 to rotate.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, a position sensor 7 is also included. The position sensor 7 is installed on the side of the preset feeding position to detect whether the hopper 1 has moved to the preset feeding position. The position sensor 7 is signal-connected to the drive component 4 to control the movement of the drive component 4.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, in use, the position sensor 7 is arranged around the connecting piece 3, such as above or on the side, through a support frame or a seat, and is close to the preset feeding position, so as to detect the stock bin 1 in real time, so as to realize detection after the stock bin 1 moves to the preset feeding position, and control the driving assembly 4 to stop moving according to the detection result of the position sensor 7.

[0056] It should be noted that the type of position sensor 7 is not limited, as long as the above functions can be realized, for example, in some specific embodiments, the position sensor 7 can adopt a contact sensor, and the corresponding preset position of each stock bin 1 or the connecting piece 3 has a protruding structure, so that after each stock bin 1 moves to the preset feeding position, the above protruding structure can abut against the position sensor 7 to complete the detection; or in another specific embodiment, the position sensor 7 is a proximity switch, the connecting piece 3 has a detection part 31 corresponding to the plurality of stock bins 1, and the position sensor 7 can sense the detection part 31 to complete the detection, and the plurality of detection parts 31 are arranged corresponding to each stock bin 1, and the detection part 31 can adopt a notch on the connecting piece 3 or a metal structure fixed on the connecting piece 3, so as to cooperate with an ultrasonic proximity switch or an inductive proximity switch to realize detection, and then the position sensor 7 senses the detection part 31 to confirm that the stock bin 1 moves to the preset feeding position, and such arrangement is beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy of the stock bin 1.

[0057] In use, the driving assembly 4 is started to drive the connecting piece 3 and each stock bin 1 to move synchronously until the position sensor 7 detects the stock bin 1, so as to control the driving assembly 4 to stop moving, so as to facilitate the material taking operation.

[0058] On the basis of the above embodiment, a first sensor 8 and a second sensor 9 are further included; the first sensor 8 is arranged on the side of the preset feeding position to detect the position of the sheet 10 close to the discharge port 12 in the stock bin 1, and the first sensor 8 is signal connected with the feeding assembly 2 to control the movement of the driving assembly 4; the second sensor 9 is arranged on the side of the preset feeding position to detect whether the sheet 10 is placed in the stock bin 1, and the second sensor 9 is signal connected with the feeding assembly 2 and the driving assembly 4 to control the movement of the feeding assembly 2 and the driving assembly 4.

[0059] The first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 are arranged on the side of the preset feeding position, the first sensor 8 can adopt a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor, and the first sensor 8 is opposite to the discharge port 12, so as to detect whether the sheet 10 located at the uppermost position after being pushed by the feeding assembly 2 moves to the preset position of the stock bin 1; the second sensor 9 can adopt a photoelectric sensor or a weight sensor or an ultrasonic sensor to detect whether the sheet 10 is still in the stock bin 1.

[0060] In use, reference is made to Figure 1The second sensor 9 is used to detect whether there is a sheet 10 in the magazine 1 at the preset feeding position in real time. If no sheet 10 is detected in the magazine 1 at the preset feeding position, the feeding assembly 2 is controlled to move out of the magazine 1, and the driving assembly 4 is controlled to drive the magazine 1 to move, so that another magazine 1 is moved to the preset feeding position, and then the feeding assembly 2 is controlled to continue to move the sheet 10 in the magazine 1 at the preset feeding position. During the movement of the sheet 10 by the feeding assembly 2, the first sensor 8 is used to detect the position of the uppermost sheet 10 in the magazine 1 at the preset feeding position in real time. When the uppermost sheet 10 in the magazine 1 is detected to be not moved to the preset position, the feeding assembly 2 is controlled to continue to move the uppermost sheet 10 in the magazine 1 to the preset position. When the uppermost sheet 10 in the magazine 1 is detected to be moved to the preset position, the feeding assembly 2 is controlled to stop moving, until the second sensor 9 detects that there is no sheet 10 in the magazine 1 at the preset feeding position again, and the feeding assembly 2 is controlled to move out of the magazine 1 again, and the above process is repeated.

[0061] The feeding mechanism can detect the working condition of the sheet 10 in the feeding channel 11 in real time through the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9, so that the feeding mechanism is fully automatic, and the stability and reliability of continuous feeding are ensured.

[0062] It should be noted that the connection mode between the position sensor 7, the first sensor 8, the second sensor 9 and the feeding assembly 2 and the driving assembly 4 is not limited. For example, in some specific embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a general controller, and the feeding assembly 2, the driving assembly 4, the position sensor 7, the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9 are all connected to the general controller. The general controller can receive the detection results of the position sensor 7, the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9, and control the driving assembly 4 and the feeding assembly 2 to start or stop according to the detection results. In this way, the automation degree of the feeding mechanism is high, and the feeding mechanism is convenient to integrate into an automatic production device. Alternatively, in some other specific embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a first sub-controller and a second sub-controller. The first sub-controller is connected to the feeding assembly 2, the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9, and can receive the detection results of the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9, and control the feeding assembly 2 to start or stop according to the detection results. The second sub-controller is connected to the driving assembly 4, the position sensor 7 and the second sensor 9, and can receive the detection results of the position sensor 7 and the second sensor 9, and control the driving assembly 4 to start or stop according to the detection results.

[0063] Further, the second sensor 9 is connected with the first alarm signal, so that when the material in the hopper 1 is detected by the second sensor 9, the first alarm can send an alarm to remind the operator to replenish the material in time; similarly, the position sensor 7 is connected with the second alarm signal, so that when the hopper 1 is detected by the position sensor 7 to move to the preset feeding position, the second alarm can send an alarm to remind the operator to take the material.

[0064] On the basis of the above embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 comprises a mounting seat 21, a power member 22, a nut member 23 and a threaded rod 24; the threaded rod 24 is arranged in the mounting seat 21 and rotates along the X direction, the power member 22 is arranged in the mounting seat 21, and the output end of the power member 22 is drivingly connected with the threaded rod 24 to drive it to rotate; the mounting seat 21 is provided with a guide structure 29, and the nut member 23 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 24 to drive the nut member 23 to move along the guide structure 29, so that the end of the nut member 23 is inserted into the feeding channel 11 and pushes the sheet 10 close to the discharge port 12.

[0065] The mounting seat 21 is used for mounting the power member 22, the threaded rod 24 and the nut member 23, so as to limit them from being separated from the original position and realize the preset rotation or movement; the power member 22 can be an output rotating component such as a motor or a motor, and the power member 22 is drivingly connected with the threaded rod 24 by welding or a coupling to drive it to rotate; the threaded rod 24 extends along the X direction, the mounting seat 21 is provided with a guide structure capable of guiding the nut member 23 to move along the X direction, and the nut member 23 is connected with the threaded rod 24, so that the threaded rod 24 can drive the nut member 23 to move along the X direction under the guidance of the guide structure, so that the nut member 23 can be inserted into the feeding channel 11 through the plug-in port 13 located at the lower side of the feeding channel 11 and continue to move along the X direction.

[0066] On the basis of the above embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 is provided with a first limit position sensor 25, a second limit position sensor 26 and an original position sensor 27; the first limit position sensor 25, the original position sensor 27 and the second limit position sensor 26 are arranged in sequence along the first direction to the position of the nut member 23 when the nut member 23 moves along the first direction; the first limit position sensor 25, the original position sensor 27 and the second limit position sensor 26 are connected with the driving assembly 4 in signal to control the start and stop of the driving assembly 4.

[0067] As shown in Figure 4 The first limit position sensor 25, the original position sensor 27 and the second limit position sensor 26 are arranged in sequence along the X direction on the mounting seat 21 and located at the side of the nut member 23 and the threaded rod 24, the first limit position sensor 25 is located on the side away from the power member 22, and the second limit position sensor 26 is located on the side close to the power member 22, so as to be capable of detecting the nut member 23 moving along the X direction.

[0068] It should be noted that the types of the first limit position sensor 25, the original position sensor 27 and the second limit position sensor 26 are not limited, such as proximity switches or contact sensors, as long as they can cooperate with the nut member 23 to achieve detection.

[0069] In use, the nut member 23 is detected in real time by the first limit position sensor 25, the original position sensor 27 and the second limit position sensor 26, so that when the nut member 23 moves to the original position, the detection is completed by the original position sensor 27, when the nut member 23 rises to the limit position, the detection is completed by the first limit position sensor 25, and when the nut member 23 descends to the other limit position, the detection is completed by the second limit position sensor 26. In this way, the interference between the nut member 23 and the connecting member 3 and / or the mounting seat 21 is effectively avoided.

[0070] Based on the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The free end of the push rod 232 passes through the sliding bearing 28, so that the push rod 232 can be stably slid along the X direction while being supported.

[0071] It should be noted that the arrangement of the sliding bearing 28 is not limited, which can be arranged above the mounting seat 21, or the sliding bearing 28 and the mounting seat 21 can be relatively independent.

[0072] Further, the feeding assembly 2 further comprises a belt transmission assembly, and the power member 22 is drivingly connected to the threaded rod 24 through the belt transmission assembly, as shown in Figure 4 The output end of the power member 22 extends along the X direction, and a driving pulley is coaxially arranged on the output end of the power member 22. A driven pulley is coaxially arranged on the lower end of the threaded rod 24 away from the hopper 1. The driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected by a belt. In this way, the length of the feeding assembly 2 can be reduced.

[0073] Based on the above embodiment, the inside of the hopper 1 has two parallel feeding channels 11, and the cross-sectional shape of the hopper 1 is 8-shaped; the nut member 23 comprises a nut structure 231 and two push rods 232 arranged on the nut structure 231. The nut structure 231 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 24 and can move along the guide structure 29, so that the free end of the push rod 232 is inserted into the corresponding feeding channel 11 through the plug-in interface 13.

[0074] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The hopper 1 has two feeding channels 11 extending along the X direction, and the hopper 1 is inwardly contracted at the middle position of its cross section, that is, the cross-sectional shape of the hopper 1 is 8-shaped, so that the thin plates 10 in one of the feeding channels 11 cannot move to the other feeding channel 11.

[0075] Correspondingly, the nut structure 231 of the nut component 23 has a threaded hole for the threaded rod 24 to pass through and engage with it. Thus, the rotation of the threaded rod 24 can drive the nut structure 231 to move. Two push rods 232 extending in the X direction are provided on the nut structure 231. The movement of the nut structure 231 can drive the two push rods 232 to move synchronously to push the thin plate 10 in the two feeding channels 11 of a hopper 1. This arrangement ensures feeding efficiency and prevents the thin plates 10 stacked in the feeding channels 11 from being disordered.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, the push rod 232 includes a push rod body 2321 and a push plate 2322. The push plate 2322 is disposed at the free end of the push rod body 2321, and the cross-sectional width of the push plate 2322 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the push rod 232. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this configuration helps to reduce the weight of the feeding mechanism while improving the stability of pushing the thin plate 10.

[0077] Furthermore, the push rod body 2321 is a cylindrical rod, the push plate 2322 is a disc, and the push plate 2322 and the push rod 232 are coaxially arranged to reduce the cost of the feeding assembly 2.

[0078] Based on any of the above embodiments, the hopper 1 includes a base 14 and a plurality of hopper rods 15. The plurality of hopper rods 15 are fixed to the base 14, and the plurality of hopper rods 15 arranged in a ring form a feeding channel 11, and there is an observation window between adjacent hopper rods 15.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hopper rods 15 can be arranged in parallel or staggered arrangement to form a cylindrical structure. Several hopper rods 15 surround a feeding channel 11, and the upper ends of several hopper rods 15 are left with openings as discharge ports 12. A through hole is provided on the base 14 as an insertion interface 13 to meet the discharge requirements. A gap is left between several hopper rods 15 as an observation window. This arrangement facilitates the observation or adjustment of the thin plate 10 placed in the hopper 1 from the side, and also facilitates the detection of the thin plate 10 in the hopper 1 by the first sensor 8 and the second sensor 9.

[0080] Based on the above embodiments, the hopper 1, the feeding assembly 2, the position sensor 7, the first sensor 8, and the second sensor 9 are all installed on the base. The base can be a seat, a bent plate structure, or a frame, etc. With this arrangement, the feeding mechanism has strong integrity and is easy to install and use.

[0081] In addition to the aforementioned feeding mechanism, this utility model also provides a production equipment including the feeding mechanism disclosed in the above embodiments.
