[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 The automatic feeding device shown includes a hopper 1, an inclined plate 2, a lifting plate 3, a connecting rod 4, a push plate 5, a servo motor 6, a reducer 7, a coupling 8, a drive sprocket 9, a driven sprocket 10, a chain 11, a driven shaft 12, a drive shaft 13, a lifting plate support 14, a guide support 15, a guide shaft 16, a chain pressure plate 17, a baffle 18, a discharge pipe 19, and a frame 20. This automatic feeding device can be applied to the automatic feeding of coconut granules.

[0033] The hopper 1 is fixed on the frame 20. The inclined plate 2 is inclined and its lower end is located inside the hopper 1. In this embodiment, the hopper 1 is welded from stainless steel plates bent at different angles, and the inclined plate 2 is an inner wall plate of the hopper 1 that extends out of the hopper 1, that is, the inclined plate 2 and one of the inner wall plates of the hopper 1 are integrally formed.

[0034] Both sides of the inclined plate 2 are provided with baffles 18, which are perpendicular to the surface of the inclined plate 2.

[0035] The lifting plate 3 is located above the inclined plate 2, parallel to the inclined plate 2, and between the baffles 18 on both sides.

[0036] The push plate 5 is located between the lifting plate 3 and the inclined plate 2, and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 3 via a connecting rod 4. Specifically, the lifting plate 3 has a latch for engaging the upper end of the connecting rod 4; the connecting rod 4 is S-shaped, with its upper end engaging the latch of the lifting plate 3, and its lower end detachably connected to the push plate 5. Generally speaking, the distance between the push plate 5 and the inclined plate 2 should be smaller than the particle size of the material (coconut granules) in the hopper.

[0037] In this embodiment, the push plate 5 is a V-shaped plate, with the opening of the V-shaped plate facing upward along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2; five push plates 5 are evenly spaced on the upper side (horizontally) of the lifting plate 3 to form an upper row of push plates, and five push plates 5 are evenly spaced on the lower side (horizontally) of the lifting plate 3 to form a lower row of push plates. The push plates of the lower row of push plates are staggered from those of the upper row of push plates along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2. In some other embodiments, the push plate 5 may also be a U-shaped plate.

[0038] The push plate 5 can move up and down along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2 along the lifting plate 3. The inclined plate 2 is provided with material leakage holes 21 corresponding to the up and down reciprocating movement path of each push plate 5, and the back is provided with a discharge pipe 19 corresponding to the material leakage holes 21.

[0039] Both sides of the inclined plate 2 are provided with a drive sprocket 9, a driven sprocket 10, a chain 11, a guide shaft 16, and a guide support seat 15.

[0040] The specific configuration of the drive sprocket 9, driven sprocket 10, chain 11, guide shaft 16, and guide support seat 15 on the same side of the inclined plate 2 is as follows: the guide shaft 16 is located outside the corresponding side baffle 18 and is set along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2. The two ends of the guide shaft 16 are fixed to the baffle 18 through the guide shaft support seat 161. The guide support seat 15 is sleeved on the guide shaft 16 and can slide along the guide shaft 16. The lower end of the guide support seat 15 is provided with a chain pressure plate 17. The drive sprocket 9 is fixed to the lower end of the outer side of the hopper 1 through the drive sprocket support seat 91. The driven sprocket 10 is fixed to the upper end of the inclined plate 2 through the driven sprocket support seat 101. The drive sprocket 9 and the driven sprocket 10 are connected by the chain 11, which is set along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2. The chain 11 is located below the guide support seat 15 and is fixedly connected to the guide support seat 15 through the chain pressure plate 17.

[0041] The driving sprockets 9 on both sides of the inclined plate 2 are connected by the driving shaft 13, and the driven sprockets 10 on both sides are connected by the driven shaft 12.

[0042] Servo motor 6 connects to reducer 7, and coupling 8 connects reducer 7 and drive shaft 13. Reducer 7 is fixed to frame 20 via motor mounting bracket 71. Servo motor 6, in conjunction with reducer 7, drives drive shaft 13 to achieve forward and reverse rotation of drive sprocket 9, which in turn drives guide support 15 to reciprocate up and down along guide shaft 16 via chain 11. Servo motor 6, reducer 7, coupling 8, drive sprocket 9, driven sprocket 10, and chain 11 constitute the drive mechanism.

[0043] Both sides of the inclined plate 2 are provided with lifting plate support seats 14, and the guide support seat 15 is connected to the lifting plate 3 through the lifting plate support seats 14. Specifically, the lifting plate support seat 14 includes an inner plate located inside the baffle 18 and an outer plate located outside the baffle 18. The upper ends of the inner plate and the outer plate are fixedly connected, and the lower end of the inner plate is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 3. The lower end of the outer plate is connected to the guide support seat 15. When the lifting plate support seat 14 moves up and down with the guide shaft 16 of the guide support seat 15, the push plate 5 is driven to move up and down along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 2 through the connecting member composed of the lifting plate 3 and the connecting rod 4.

[0044] The automatic feeding device of this utility model can be applied to the automatic feeding of coconut granules. The drive mechanism drives the lifting plate to move up and down, and the push plate 5 can lift the coconut granules in the hopper 1 to the discharge hole 21. The coconut granules fall into the plastic cup 20 below through the discharge pipe 19. One feeding action can realize the stable and high-speed feeding of coconut granules into 5*2 rows of plastic cups, improving the feeding accuracy and production efficiency.

[0045] Each time the automatic feeding device performs a coconut jelly conveying action, the servo motor needs to complete two forward and reverse rotations before returning to the starting point. The amount of coconut jelly added can be selected according to actual production needs. The entire process is automatically controlled by a programmable logic controller, requiring minimal manual intervention, which can reduce labor intensity and production costs.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
