[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in the present embodiment, the feeding device 100 includes a rack 10, a positioning clamp 20, a feeding mechanism 30 and a jacking mechanism 35.

[0030] The positioning clamp 20 is used to accommodate and position a plurality of materials 400 stacked.

[0031] The feeding mechanism 30 includes a base 31 and a pushing assembly 32, the base 31 is arranged on the rack 10, the positioning clamp 20 is placed on the base 31, and the pushing assembly 32 is arranged on the base 31 and located on one side of the positioning clamp 20. The pushing assembly 32 is used to push out a plurality of materials 400 from the positioning clamp 20 in sequence for feeding.

[0032] The jacking mechanism 35 includes a moving seat 351, a plurality of jacking pieces 352 and a jacking driving piece 353. The moving seat 351 is arranged on the side of the base 31 away from the positioning clamp 20 and can be lifted relative to the base 31; the plurality of jacking pieces 352 are slidably arranged through the base 31 and connected with the moving seat 351; the jacking driving piece 353 is arranged on the side of the moving seat 351 away from the base 31 and is fixedly arranged relative to the base 31, the jacking driving piece 353 can be a telescopic cylinder, and the jacking driving piece 353 is used to push the moving seat 351 to move, so that the moving seat 351 drives the plurality of jacking pieces 352 to jack up the material 400.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 6 In the embodiment, the feeding device 100 feeds through the taking and placing mechanism 600, wherein the taking and placing mechanism 600 can be a mechanical hand.

[0034] When the feeding device 100 feeds, first, the multiple materials 400 are placed into the positioning clamp 20 for positioning, then the positioning clamp 20 is placed on the base 31, after that, the jacking driving part 353 drives the multiple jacking parts 352 to jack up the materials 400 and separate the lowest layer of materials 400 from other materials 400, the material pushing assembly 32 pushes the materials 400 in the lowest layer out of the positioning clamp 20, the material pushing assembly 32 and the jacking mechanism 35 cooperate to push the multiple materials 400 out of the positioning clamp 20 in turn, and the taking and placing mechanism 600 moves the materials 400 pushed out by the material pushing assembly 32 to the processing device 500 for feeding.

[0035] Since the positioning clamp 20 has high accuracy in positioning the materials 400, and the material pushing assembly 32 has high accuracy and efficiency in pushing the multiple materials 400 out of the positioning clamp 20 for feeding, it is convenient for the taking and placing mechanism 600 to accurately and quickly grab the materials 400, thereby facilitating the feeding efficiency and feeding accuracy of feeding the materials 400 to the processing device 500, and reducing the labor intensity of workers. In addition, by jacking up the materials 400 through the jacking mechanism 35, the materials 400 being pushed by the material pushing assembly 32 can be separated from other materials 400, avoiding abrasion between the materials 400 due to friction, and facilitating the material pushing assembly 32 to smoothly push the materials 400 out of the positioning clamp 20.

[0036] In some other embodiments, the feeding device 100 can also not include the rack 10, and the feeding mechanism 30 can be directly installed on the processing device 500, and the material pushing assembly 32 directly feeds the materials 400 to the processing device 500 after pushing the multiple materials 400 out of the positioning clamp 20, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.

[0037] In the embodiment, the positioning clamp 20 has a first end 21 and a second end 22 arranged oppositely, the positioning clamp 20 is provided with a receiving channel 23 extending from the first end 21 to the second end 22, the receiving channel 23 is used for receiving and positioning the multiple materials 400 arranged in layers, the second end 22 is provided with a discharge channel 221 communicating with the bottom of the receiving channel 23, and the second end 22 is also provided with multiple through holes 223 communicating with the receiving channel 23, the extension directions of the multiple through holes 223 are the same as the extension direction of the positioning clamp 20, and the multiple jacking parts 352 and the multiple through holes 223 correspond to each other one by one.

[0038] When the feeding device 100 feeds, the plurality of materials 400 are stacked and positioned in the receiving channel 23, the second end 22 of the positioning clip 20 abuts against the base 31, and the pushing assembly 32 pushes the materials 400 out of the discharge channel 221 in sequence, and the plurality of jacking members 352 respectively pass through the corresponding perforations 223 to jack up the materials 400, so that the materials 400 being pushed by the pushing assembly 32 are separated from other materials 400.

[0039] In this way, by arranging the receiving channel 23, the positioning accuracy of the positioning clip 20 on the materials 400 is improved; by arranging the discharge channel 221, the pushing assembly 32 can accurately push the materials 400 out of the positioning clip 20; and by arranging the plurality of perforations 223, the plurality of jacking members 352 can be inserted into the positioning clip 20 to accurately jack up the materials 400.

[0040] In the embodiment, the discharge channel 221 is arranged on the side wall of the second end 22, and the extension direction of the discharge channel 221 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the receiving channel 23, when the materials 400 fall into the position corresponding to the discharge channel 221, the pushing assembly 32 pushes the materials 400 out of the discharge channel 221.

[0041] In the embodiment, the receiving channel 23 is in communication with the first end 21, and the second end 22 closes one end of the receiving channel 23 away from the first end 21, thereby facilitating the placement of materials 400 into the receiving channel 23.

[0042] In the embodiment, the peripheral side wall of the positioning clip 20 is of a hollow structure, thereby facilitating the reduction of the weight of the positioning clip 20 and the observation of the quantity and the remaining amount of the materials 400 placed in the receiving channel 23.

[0043] In the embodiment, the base 31 has a positioning portion 311 for positioning the second end 22, the positioning portion 311 is a positioning protrusion, and the second end 22 is also provided with a positioning hole 222 matched with the positioning protrusion. Specifically, the positioning hole 222 is arranged on the side wall of the second end 22 away from the first end 21. In this way, the positioning portion 311 and the positioning clip 20 are inserted and positioned, and the positioning clip 20 is easily detached from the base 31.

[0044] In other embodiments, the positioning portion 311 can also be a positioning hole 222, and correspondingly, the second end 22 is provided with a positioning protrusion matched with the positioning hole 222, and the positioning protrusion inserted into the positioning hole 222 can also position the positioning clip 20, which is not limited in the embodiments of the application.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3In the embodiment, the pushing assembly 32 comprises a pushing driving member 321 and a pushing member 322. The pushing driving member 321 can be a linear module, which is arranged on the base 31 and located at one side of the positioning part 311. The pushing member 322 is connected with the pushing driving member 321, so as to be driven by the pushing driving member 321 to sequentially push the plurality of materials 400 out of the positioning clip 20. In this way, the pushing assembly 32 has a simple structure and is conducive to improving the accuracy of pushing the materials 400 out of the positioning clip 20.

[0046] In the embodiment, the jacking mechanism 35 further comprises a mounting plate 354, which is arranged on the side of the base 31 away from the positioning clip 20, and the jacking driving member 353 is arranged on the mounting plate 354, so as to facilitate the fixation of the jacking driving member 353.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the feeding mechanism 30 further comprises a pressing assembly 33, which comprises a pressing driving member 331 and a pressing head 332. The pressing driving member 331 can be a rotary telescopic cylinder, which is arranged on the base 31 and located at one side of the positioning clip 20. The pressing head 332 is connected with the pressing driving member 331, so as to be driven by the pressing driving member 331 to press the positioning clip 20 against the base 31. When the positioning clip 20 is placed on the base 31 and the positioning part 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 222 to position the positioning clip 20, the pressing driving member 331 drives the pressing head 332 to press the positioning clip 20, so as to effectively avoid the positioning clip 20 from shaking when the pushing assembly 32 pushes the materials 400 out of the discharge passage 221, and thus is conducive to improving the accuracy of pushing the materials 400 out of the positioning clip 20.

[0048] In the embodiment, the positioning clip 20 is provided with a position-avoiding opening 24 extending along the extension direction of the positioning clip 20, and the pressing head 332 is arranged to press the inner wall of the position-avoiding opening 24 close to the second end 22 to press the positioning clip 20.

[0049] In the embodiment, the number of the pressing assembly 33 and the position-avoiding opening 24 is multiple and corresponds one by one. The plurality of pressing assemblies 33 are arranged on the base 31 and arranged around the positioning clip 20, and the plurality of pressing assemblies 33 press the positioning clip 20 from multiple positions, so as to improve the stability of pressing the positioning clip 20 against the base 31.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In the embodiment, the feeding mechanism 30 further comprises a clamping assembly 34 arranged on the base 31 and adjacent to the positioning magazine 20, and the clamping assembly 34 is used to clamp one or more materials 400 above the material 400 when the pushing assembly 32 pushes the material 400 from the positioning magazine 20.

[0051] Specifically, when the pushing assembly 32 pushes a material 400 from the storage channel 23, if the material 400 is in contact with the adjacent upper material 400, the friction between the materials 400 will cause the materials 400 to wear, and the concave-convex matching between the materials 400 can affect the pushing assembly 32 to smoothly push the material 400 out of the positioning magazine 20. By arranging the clamping assembly 34, when the pushing assembly 32 pushes the material 400 from the storage channel 23, the jacking drive 353 can first drive the plurality of jacking pieces 352 to lift the plurality of materials 400 through the moving seat 351. After the clamping assembly 34 clamps the material 400 on the second last layer, the jacking drive 353 is reset, the material 400 on the last layer falls under the action of its own gravity and forms a gap with the material 400 on the second last layer, thereby avoiding the wear caused by the friction between the materials 400, and facilitating the pushing assembly 32 to smoothly push the material 400 out of the storage channel 23.

[0052] In other embodiments, without arranging the clamping assembly 34, by reasonably arranging the structure of the jacking piece 352, such as arranging the jacking piece 352 to have a clamping function, the jacking drive 353 can directly lift the plurality of materials 400 above the material 400 on the last layer through the moving seat 351. After the material 400 on the last layer is pushed out by the pushing assembly 32, the jacking drive 353 drives the plurality of jacking pieces 352 to reset, the material 400 on the second last layer is in contact with the bottom of the storage channel 23, and the pushing of the materials is carried out in this way. This can also avoid the wear caused by the friction between the materials 400, and the embodiment of the application does not make specific limitation on this.

[0053] In the embodiment, the clamping assembly 34 comprises a first clamping unit 341 and a second clamping unit 342, which are respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the positioning magazine 20. The first clamping unit 341 and the second clamping unit 342 each comprise a clamping driving member 3411 and a clamping member 3412. The clamping driving member 3411 can be a telescopic air cylinder, which is arranged at the base 31 and located at one side of the positioning magazine 20. The clamping member 3412 is connected with the clamping driving member 3411. The clamping member 3412 of the first clamping unit 341 and the clamping member 3412 of the second clamping unit 342 are driven to approach each other by the corresponding clamping driving member 3411 to clamp one or more materials 400. In this way, the first clamping unit 341 and the second clamping unit 342 have simple structure and occupy less space, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the overall structure of the feeding device 100. In addition, the first clamping unit 341 and the second clamping unit 342 clamp the materials 400 from two sides, respectively, which is conducive to improving the stability of the clamping assembly 34 in clamping the materials 400.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the feeding mechanism 30 further comprises a positioning assembly 36. The positioning assembly 36 comprises a positioning seat 361, a stopper 362, a limiting member 363 and a pushing unit 364. The positioning seat 361 is arranged at the base 31, and the positioning seat 361 and the pushing assembly 32 are respectively arranged at opposite sides of the positioning magazine 20. The positioning seat 361 is used to receive the materials 400 pushed out by the pushing assembly 32. The stopper 362 is arranged at the positioning seat 361 and opposite to the pushing assembly 32. The stopper 362 is used to stop the materials 400 pushed out by the pushing assembly 32. The limiting member 363 is arranged at the positioning seat 361 and located at one side of the stopper 362. The pushing unit 364 is arranged at the base 31 and opposite to the limiting member 363. The pushing unit 364 is used to press the materials 400 against the limiting member 363.

[0055] When the pushing assembly 32 pushes the materials 400 out of the receiving channel 23, the materials 400 move to the positioning seat 361 and are stopped by the stopper 362. Then, the pushing unit 364 pushes the materials 400 and presses the materials 400 against the limiting member 363. In this way, the positioning assembly 36 positions the materials 400 pushed out by the pushing assembly 32 twice, which facilitates the accurate grabbing of the materials 400 by the taking and placing mechanism 600 and improves the accuracy of feeding.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4In the embodiment, the pushing unit 364 comprises a pushing driving member 3641, a connecting member 3642, a pushing member 3643 and a buffer elastic member 3644. The pushing driving member 3641 can be a telescopic air cylinder, and is arranged on the base 31. The connecting member 3642 is connected with the pushing driving member 3641, and is driven by the pushing driving member 3641 to move close to or away from the limiting member 363. The pushing member 3643 is slidingly arranged in the connecting member 3642 and is arranged opposite to the limiting member 363, and is used to press the material 400 against the limiting member 363 under the driving of the connecting member 3642. The buffer elastic member 3644 can be a spring, and is arranged in the connecting member 3642, and two ends of the buffer elastic member 3644 are connected with the connecting member 3642 and the pushing member 3643 respectively and away from the limiting member 363.

[0057] When the pushing driving member 3641 drives the pushing member 3643 to press the material 400 through the connecting member 3642, the buffer elastic member 3644 provides a buffer, thereby facilitating to reduce the probability of damaging the material 400 by the pushing unit 364.

[0058] In some other embodiments, when the positioning seat 361 is large in size, the pushing unit 364 can also be arranged on the positioning seat 361, that is, the pushing driving member 3641 is arranged on the positioning seat 361, which is not limited in the embodiments of the application.

[0059] In the embodiment, the connecting member 3642 comprises a connecting block 3642a, a cover member 3642b and a plurality of connecting bolts 3642c. The connecting block 3642a is connected with the pushing driving member 3641, and a sliding groove 3642d is arranged on the connecting block 3642a and communicates with a side of the connecting block 3642a facing the limiting member 363. The sliding groove 3642d is T-shaped, and an end of the pushing member 3643 away from the limiting member 363 extends into the sliding groove 3642d, and the end of the pushing member 3643 extending into the sliding groove 3642d is also T-shaped. Two ends of the buffer elastic member 3644 abut against an inner wall of the sliding groove 3642d away from the limiting member 363 and a side of the pushing member 3643 away from the limiting member 363 respectively. The cover member 3642b is arranged on the sliding groove 3642d, and the plurality of connecting bolts 3642c pass through the cover member 3642b and are connected with the connecting block 3642a. In this way, the pushing member 3643 and the buffer elastic member 3644 are convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0060] The process of the feeding device 100 for feeding roughly comprises the following steps:
