Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the logistics and sales of BMS products, to ensure they are protected from physical damage, dust intrusion, and moisture corrosion, they are typically encapsulated in specially designed packaging shells. These shells usually consist of an upper shell and a lower shell, which are fitted together to seal the BMS product.

[0003] During the manufacturing process, the upper and lower shells need to be loaded separately for subsequent snap-fit ​​sealing. Specifically, the split upper and lower shells are evenly placed on a tray for subsequent processing and assembly. However, the current operation relies mainly on manual labor, where workers manually move the trays to a transfer cart, which is then manually pushed to the corresponding snap-fit ​​station. This transportation method has a significant efficiency bottleneck; it is not only inefficient but also increases the labor intensity of workers, affecting the overall operational efficiency of the production line.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 6 An automatic feeding device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a feeding component 10, a conveying component 20 installed on opposite sides of the feeding component 10, a pushing component 30 installed on the side of one of the conveying components 20 facing away from the feeding component 10, and an industrial robot (not shown) located on one side of the feeding component 10.

[0032] The feeding assembly 10 includes two parallel and spaced limiting plates 11, a Z-axis linear module 12 connected to the bottom surface of one of the limiting plates 11, a support base 13 connected to the Z-axis linear module 12, and a plurality of lifting columns 14 evenly spaced on the top surface of the support base 13. The two ends of the two limiting plates 11 are respectively used to connect to the conveying assembly 20, and the space between the two limiting plates 11 is used to accommodate a material tray 40, thereby limiting the position of the material tray 40. This allows the Z-axis linear module 12 to drive the lifting columns 13 to lift the material 41 inside the material tray 40 for feeding. Here, the material 41 refers to the upper or lower shell.

[0033] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 10 also includes a photoelectric sensor 15 installed above the limiting plate 11. The photoelectric sensor 15 is used to detect whether there is material 41 left at the top of the lifting column 14, so as to determine whether it is necessary to switch to the next material tray 40.

[0034] The conveying assembly 20 includes a conveyor belt 21 connecting one end of two limiting plates 11, a lifting cylinder 22 installed in the middle of the conveyor belt 21 near the end of the limiting plate 11, a lifting plate 23 connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22, and a plurality of rollers 24 evenly spaced at opposite ends of the lifting plate 23; the axis of the rollers 24 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 21.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two conveyor belts 21 move in opposite directions; the conveyor belts 21 are used to transport the material tray 40. The lifting cylinder 22 is used to drive the lifting plate 23 to move upward, so that the rollers 24 abut against and lift the material tray 40. Through the action of the rollers 24, the material tray 40 can be transferred between the conveyor belts 21 and the two limiting plates 11.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the conveyor belt 21 has openings 210 on opposite sides of the lifting plate 23, which are used for the material trays 40 to pass through. Specifically, one conveyor belt 21 is used to transport fully loaded material trays 40, which is the loading conveyor belt 21, and the other conveyor belt 21 is used to transport empty material trays 40, which is the unloading conveyor belt 21. Among them, the opening 210 on the side of the loading conveyor belt 21 facing away from the lifting plate 23 is equipped with a pushing component 30; the opening 210 on the side of the unloading conveyor belt 21 facing away from the lifting plate 23 is equipped with a baffle 25.

[0037] The pushing assembly 30 includes a pushing cylinder 31 installed on one side of a conveyor belt 21, and a pushing plate 32 connected to the pushing cylinder 31; the pushing plate 32 is used to pass through the notch 210 and abut against the material bracket 40.

[0038] Specifically, the material carrier 40 is installed on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 21. In actual operation, the pusher plate 32 pushes the fully loaded material carrier 40 from the feeding conveyor belt 21 into the space between the two limiting plates 11. At the same time, the fully loaded material carrier 40 abuts against the empty material carrier 40 that was originally located between the two limiting plates 11, and pushes the empty material carrier 40 into the unloading conveyor belt 21. The material carrier 40 is replaced on the feeding assembly 10. Finally, the industrial robot removes the material 41 from the feeding assembly 10 and places it on the fastening station. Compared with traditional manual handling, this utility model can directly feed materials through the coordinated action of the feeding assembly 10, the conveyor belt 21, and the industrial robot, eliminating manual intervention and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0039] The above-mentioned automatic feeding device has a simple structure and is easy to use. The feeding component 10 has a Z-axis linear module 12 and a lifting column 14. The conveyor belt 21 is located on both sides of the feeding component 10. Through the coordinated action of the feeding component 10, the conveyor belt 21 and the industrial robot, the material 41 can be fed directly, eliminating manual intervention and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
