[0065] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures, wherein the same or like reference numerals and characters throughout the figures denote same or like components or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below are exemplary only, and are not intended to be limiting of the present application.

[0066] The application will be described below with reference to Figures 1-10 The application provides an up-down feeding device, which comprises a housing 100, a magazine 200, two carrier flow lines 300 and two carrying devices.

[0067] The housing 100 forms a containing cavity with a feeding port 102 and a discharging port. The magazine 200 is arranged in the containing cavity and is used for storing carriers 900. It should be noted that the shapes and sizes of the containing cavity, the feeding port 102, the discharging port and the magazine 200 can be designed according to actual requirements, and the application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0068] The carrier flow lines 300 are arranged in the containing cavity, one discharging end of the carrier flow lines 300 is close to the discharging port, and the other feeding end of the carrier flow lines 300 is close to the feeding port 102. The carrying devices are arranged in the containing cavity and correspond to the carrier flow lines 300 one by one, and are used for transferring the carriers 900 between the magazine 200 and the corresponding carrier flow lines 300.

[0069] It can be understood that the carriers 900 in the magazine 200 are transferred to the feeding end of one of the carrier flow lines 300 by one of the carrying devices, and then are transported to the discharging end of the carrier flow line 300 and are sent out of the housing 100 through the discharging port, so as to carry products for subsequent processing procedures. At the same time, the used carriers 900 outside the housing 100 are placed at the feeding end of the other carrier flow line 300 through the feeding port 102, and then the carriers 900 transported to the discharging end of the carrier flow line 300 are transferred to the magazine 200 by the other carrying device, so as to realize the automatic management of the carriers 900, reduce the time and cost of carrying and transporting the carriers 900, and improve the utilization rate of the carriers 900.

[0070] According to the up-down feeding device provided by the application, the carriers 900 are recycled by the carrying devices and the carrier flow lines 300, that is, a part of the empty carriers 900 are moved from the magazine 200 to the production line at the same time that another part of the empty carriers 900 can be timely returned to the magazine 200 from the production line, which saves time and effort and improves the utilization rate of the carriers 900.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the carrier flow line 300 comprises a conveying frame 310, a first conveying belt assembly for conveying the carrier 900, a carrier assembly 330, and a first driving assembly 340. The fixed end of the first conveying belt assembly is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the first conveying belt 321 of the first conveying belt assembly extends along a first horizontal direction. The carrier assembly 330 is used for carrying the carrier 900. The fixed end of the first driving assembly 340 is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the output end of the first driving assembly 340 is connected with the carrier assembly 330, and is used for driving the carrier assembly 330 to move along the up-down direction to approach or move away from the first conveying belt 321. The first driving assembly 340 comprises but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.

[0072] It can be understood that the conveying frame 310 is usually made of metal or other solid materials to ensure the stability and durability of the whole system. The first conveying belt assembly conveys the carrier 900 along the first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port, or conveys the carrier 900 from the feeding port 102 to approach the hopper 200. That is, when the carrier 900 needs to be transferred by the handling device, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move upward until the carrier 900 is carried, and continues to move upward to a transfer position, while the carrier 900 moves away from the first conveying belt assembly. After the handling device grabs the carrier 900 from the carrier assembly 330, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move downward to the initial position. When the carrier 900 needs to be received from the handling device, the output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move upward to the transfer position, while the handling device releases the carrier 900 to the carrier assembly 330. The output end of the first driving assembly 340 drives the carrier assembly 330 to move downward to the initial position, while the carrier 900 is placed on the first conveying belt assembly for subsequent movement along the first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port. This saves time and effort, realizes automatic transfer of the carrier, makes the structure of the carrier flow line 300 more compact, and improves the space utilization and transfer efficiency.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction is parallel to the length direction of the carrier 900, so that the whole feeding and discharging device is more compact.

[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The carrier flow line 300 further comprises a limiting assembly for limiting the movement range of the carrier assembly 330.

[0075] It can be understood that the limiting assembly avoids the carrier assembly 330 from being too high or too low during the up-down movement, which helps to reduce the interference between the carrier assembly 330 and the remaining parts in the carrier flow line 300, and improves the safety and reliability of the carrier flow line 300.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 andFigure 5 As shown in the figure, the first conveying belt assembly includes two first conveying belts 321 arranged along the second horizontal direction, the carrying assembly 330 includes a carrying plate 331 and a connecting piece, the carrying plate 331 is located between the two first conveying belts 321, the connecting piece is connected with the output end of the first driving assembly 340, and the connecting piece and the carrying plate 331 are connected and jointly form two through grooves 3301 corresponding to the first conveying belts 321. It should be noted that the shape and size of the through groove 3301 can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations here.

[0077] It can be understood that the carrying plate 331 is located between the two first conveying belts 321 along the second horizontal direction, which facilitates the transfer of the carrier 900 between the carrying plate 331 and the first conveying belt 321 while making the structure of the entire carrier flow line 300 more compact. At the same time, the projections of the two first conveying belts 321 along the up-down direction are located in the two corresponding through grooves 3301 respectively, so that the structure of the entire carrier flow line 300 is more compact while reducing the interference of the first conveying belt 321 with the up-down movement of the carrying assembly 330.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connecting piece includes two connecting parts arranged on the two sides of the carrying plate 331 respectively, the connecting part includes a cross beam 3321 and a vertical beam 3322, the cross beam 3321 extends along the first horizontal direction and is connected with the carrying plate 331 to form the through groove 3301, and the cross beam 3321 is located on the side of the first conveying belt 321 away from the carrying plate 331; the vertical beam 3322 is connected with the cross beam 3321 and extends along the up-down direction, and the vertical beam 3322 is in sliding fit with the conveying rack 310.

[0079] It can be understood that the two connecting parts are located on the two sides of the carrying plate 331 along the second horizontal direction, the carrying plate 331 is arranged at the gap of the cross beam 3321 to jointly form the through groove 3301, the top end of the vertical beam 3322 is connected with the bottom end of the cross beam 3321, and the side wall of the vertical beam 3322 is in sliding fit with the side wall of the conveying rack 310, thereby guiding the up-down movement of the carrying assembly 330 and improving the stable movement of the carrying assembly 330.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The limiting assembly includes a limiting hole and a limiting column 352 in plug-in fit, the axis of the limiting hole extends along the up-down direction, the limiting hole is opened in one of the carrying assembly 330 and the conveying rack 310, and the limiting column 352 is arranged in the other one of the carrying assembly 330 and the conveying rack 310. It should be noted that the number and shape of the limiting column 352 can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment does not make specific limitations here.

[0081] It can be understood that the limiting hole is arranged in one of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveying frame 310, and the limiting column 352 is arranged on the other of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveying frame 310, that is, when the first driving assembly 340 drives the bearing assembly 330 to move upward until the limiting column 352 is inserted into the limiting hole, the range of upward movement of the bearing plate 331 is limited, and the safety and accuracy of the use of the carrier flow line 300 are increased.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The carrier flow line 300 further comprises a first stopper 360 and a second driving assembly 370. The first stopper 360 is arranged near the end of the first conveying belt 321 and is adapted to abut or disengage with the carrier 900. The fixed end of the second driving assembly 370 is arranged on the conveying frame 310, and the output end of the second driving assembly 370 is connected with the first stopper 360 for driving the first stopper 360 to move up and down. The second driving assembly 370 includes but is not limited to a lifting cylinder.

[0083] It can be understood that when the bearing assembly 330 moves between the initial position and the transfer position, the second driving assembly 370 drives the first stopper 360 to move upward to abut with the carrier 900, thereby blocking the movement of the carrier 900 along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321; when the bearing assembly 330 moves to the initial position, the second driving assembly 370 drives the first stopper 360 to move downward to disengage with the carrier 900, so that the carrier 900 can continue to advance, thereby improving the automation degree of the carrier flow line 300 and ensuring the safety and use efficiency of the carrier flow line 300.

[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting position of the first stopper 360 along the second horizontal direction is adjustable to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the use of the carrier flow line 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fixed end of the second driving assembly 370 is connected with the conveying frame 310 through a first positioning member. One of the first positioning member and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a first long slot, and the other of the first positioning member and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes arranged along the second horizontal direction. That is, by matching the first long slot with different first mounting holes, the mounting position of the first stopper 360 along the second horizontal direction is adjustable.

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the carrier flow line 300 further comprises a first retreat stop 380 arranged on the conveying frame 310 and close to the end of the first conveying belt 321, for limiting the movement of the carrier 900 in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321.

[0087] It can be understood that the first stop 360 abuts against the carrier 900 during the movement of the carrier assembly 330, and the first retreat stop 380 is arranged to reduce the possibility of the adjacent carrier 900 on the first conveying belt 321 moving reversely due to the impact and collision caused by the stop of the first stop 360 or the first conveying belt 321, thereby improving the safety and stability of the carrier 900 conveying.

[0088] In the embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The first retreat stop 380 and the first stop 360 are arranged along the first horizontal direction.

[0089] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The first retreat stop 380 comprises a mounting block 381, a guide block 382 and an elastic member. The mounting block 381 is arranged on the conveying frame 310. The guide block 382 is movably arranged on the mounting block 381 between a first position and a second position, and the upper surface of the guide block 382 has a guide surface. The elastic member is connected to the guide block 382 and the mounting block 381 respectively, for driving the guide block 382 to switch from the second position to the first position. When the guide block 382 is in the first position, the guide surface is adapted to abut against the outer side wall of the carrier 900, and the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321. When the guide block 382 is in the second position, the guide surface and the bottom surface of the carrier 900 slide against each other. The elastic member includes but is not limited to a spring.

[0090] It can be understood that when the guide block 382 is in the first position, the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveying belt 321, which helps to guide the carrier 900 to move smoothly along the first horizontal direction. That is, when the carrier 900 passes above the guide block 382 under the action of the first conveying belt 321, the guide block 382 is switched to the second position and the elastic member is deformed. When the carrier 900 completely leaves the guide block 382, the guide block 382 is switched to the first position under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member. Therefore, when the carrier 900 moves reversely, the side wall of the guide block 382 abuts against the carrier 900, thereby preventing the carrier 900 from sliding reversely.

[0091] In the embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The guide block 382 is rotatably arranged on the mounting block 381, and the rotation axis is parallel to the second horizontal direction.

[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 5As shown, the mounting position of the first retreat-preventing piece 380 along the second horizontal direction is adjustable so as to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, improving the flexibility and versatility of the carrier flow line 300.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting block 381 is connected with the second positioning piece and the conveying frame 310, one of the second positioning piece and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a second long slot, and the other of the second positioning piece and the conveying frame 310 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes spaced along the second horizontal direction, i.e., through the cooperation of the second long slot and different second mounting holes, the mounting position of the first retreat-preventing piece 380 along the second horizontal direction is adjustable.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting position of the first retreat-preventing piece 380 along the first horizontal direction is adjustable so as to adapt to carriers 900 of different sizes and shapes, improving the flexibility and versatility of the carrier flow line 300.

[0095] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 2 As shown, one of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning piece is provided with a third long slot, and the other of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning piece is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes spaced along the first horizontal direction, i.e., through the cooperation of the third long slot and different third mounting holes, the mounting position of the guide block 382 along the first horizontal direction is adjustable.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown, Figure 3 and Figure 2 As shown, two carrier flow lines 300 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, and the feeding port 102 and the discharging port are respectively provided on the two side surfaces of the housing 100 opposite along the first horizontal direction.

[0097] It can be understood that the feeding port 102, one of the carrier flow lines 300, the other carrier flow line 300, and the discharging port are sequentially arranged along the first horizontal direction, which helps to realize the continuous flow of the carriers 900, reduces the waiting time and the possibility of cross interference of the carriers 900 during carrying and transferring, helps to balance the load of the feeding and discharging equipment, reduces the potential mechanical stress or wear caused by one-sided overload, and improves the use efficiency and reliability of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0098] In some embodiments, as shown, Figures 6-8 , Figure 6 As shown, the carrying device includes a clamping mechanism 400 and a transfer mechanism 500, the clamping mechanism 400 is used to drive the carriers 900 to transfer between the carrier flow line 300 and the transfer mechanism 500, and the transfer mechanism 500 is used to take and place the carriers 900 from the hopper 200 and carry the carriers 900.

[0099] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 400 clamps the carrier 900 on the bearing plate 331 to move to the transfer mechanism 500, or clamps the carrier 900 on the transfer mechanism 500 to the bearing plate 331; the transfer mechanism 500 moves the bearing carrier 900 to the bin 200 for storage, or takes out the carrier 900 from the bin 200, thereby realizing efficient and accurate transfer of the carrier 900 between the bin 200 and the carrier flow line 300, and improving the flexibility and reliability of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0100] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The clamping mechanism 400 includes a clamping piece 410, a first clamping drive 420, and a second clamping drive 430. The clamping piece 410 is used to clamp and release the carrier 900. The output end of the first clamping drive 420 is provided with the clamping piece 410, and is used to drive the clamping piece 410 to move in the up-down direction. The fixed end of the second clamping drive 430 is arranged in the housing 100, and the output end of the second clamping drive 430 is connected to the fixed end of the first clamping drive 420, and is used to drive the first clamping drive 420 to move in the second horizontal direction. The first clamping drive 420 and the second clamping drive 430 include but are not limited to linear cylinders.

[0101] It can be understood that the first clamping drive 420 and the second clamping drive 430 are used to realize the movement of the clamping piece 410 in the up-down direction and the second horizontal direction respectively, so as to approach or move away from one of the transfer mechanism 500 and the carrier flow line 300, thereby improving the automation of the feeding and discharging equipment.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8-10 The clamping piece 410 includes a third clamping drive and two oppositely arranged clamping jaws. The fixed end of the third clamping drive is connected to the output end of the first clamping drive 420, and the output end of the third clamping drive is connected to the two clamping jaws respectively, and is used to drive the two clamping jaws to approach or move away from each other in the second horizontal direction, so as to clamp or release the carrier 900. The third clamping drive includes but is not limited to a linear cylinder.

[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8-10 The transfer mechanism 500 includes a mounting bracket 510, a transfer drive assembly, and a bearing platform 530. The mounting bracket 510 is arranged in the housing 100. The fixed end of the transfer drive assembly is arranged in the mounting bracket 510. The bearing platform 530 is used to bear the carrier 900.
