[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0032] Please combine them together Figures 1 to 4 The feeding mechanism provided by this utility model will now be described. The feeding mechanism is used in winding equipment.

[0033] The unloading mechanism includes a frame 1, a rotating component 2, a first gripper component 3, and a second gripper component 4. The rotating component 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and is connected to the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4. The rotating component 2 is used to drive the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 to rotate. The first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0034] Understandably, the rotating component 2 of the feeding mechanism is mounted on the frame 1. The rotating component 2 is connected to the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4, and is used to drive the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 to rotate. The first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 are arranged opposite to each other. By setting the rotating component 2, the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 can take turns picking up and putting down materials. That is, one can pick up materials and the other can put them down, thereby saving operating time, improving production efficiency, and reducing the travel distance of the feeding mechanism compared to the existing single gripper component, thus reducing mechanical fatigue and increasing the service life of the feeding mechanism.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4 are rotated 180 degrees respectively. By moving the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4 180 degrees out of phase, the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4 can alternately pick up and put down materials.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the rotating assembly 2 includes a drive motor 21, a drive wheel 22, a driven wheel 23, a belt 24, a rotating shaft 25, and a connector 26. The drive motor 21 is connected to the frame 1 and to the drive wheel 22. The driven wheel 23 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and to the rotating shaft 25. The belt 24 surrounds the drive wheel 22 and the driven wheel 23. The rotating shaft 25 is connected to the connector 26, which is connected to the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4. Specifically, the drive motor 21 drives the drive wheel 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 24 to move. The belt 24 then drives the driven wheel 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The rotating shaft 25 drives the connector 26 to rotate, and the connector 26 drives the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4 to rotate 180 degrees.

[0037] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 2 also includes a sensor 27 and a sensing plate 28. The sensing plate 28 is mounted on the rotating shaft 25, and the sensor 27 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to sense the sensing plate 28. The rotating shaft 25 can drive the sensing plate 28 to rotate. When the sensor 27 senses the position of the sensing plate 28, the rotating shaft 25 stops rotating. At this time, the first gripper assembly 3 and the second gripper assembly 4 are at the zero position.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 2 also includes a protective housing 29, which is mounted on the frame 1 and covers the belt 24. By providing the protective housing 29, the belt 24 is located inside the protective housing 29, thereby preventing accidental contact with the belt 24 and potential danger.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first gripper assembly 3 includes a first power element 31, a first guide member 32, a first connecting plate 33, a second connecting plate 34, and a first gripper module 35. The first power element 31 is mounted on the connector 26 and connected to the first gripper module 35 via the first connecting plate 33. One end of the first guide member 32 is connected to the first connecting plate 33, and the other end is connected to the second connecting plate 34. The first guide member 32 passes through the connector 26 and is slidably connected to the connector 26. Specifically, the first power element 31 can be a cylinder. The first power element 31 drives the first connecting plate 33 to move, the first connecting plate 33 drives the first gripper module 35 to move, and simultaneously, the first connecting plate 33 drives the first guide member 32 to move along the first guide hole of the connector 26, thereby guiding the movement of the first gripper module 35 driven by the first connecting plate 33. The first guide member 32 then drives the second connecting plate 34 to move.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first gripper assembly 3 further includes a first limiting member 36 and a second limiting member 37. The first limiting member 36 is mounted on the first connecting plate 33, and the second limiting member 37 is mounted on the second connecting plate 34. Both the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 are used to limit the position of the first gripper module 35. Since the first connecting plate 33 and the second connecting plate 34 are located on both sides of the connector 26, the first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 can limit the first gripper module 35 during movement, thereby preventing the first gripper module 35 from colliding with other components.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second gripper assembly 4 includes a second power element 41, a second guide member 42, a third connecting plate 43, a fourth connecting plate 44, and a second gripper module 45. The second power element 41 is mounted on the connector 26 and connected to the second gripper module 45 via the third connecting plate 43. One end of the second guide member 42 is connected to the third connecting plate 43, and the other end is connected to the fourth connecting plate 44. The second guide member 42 passes through the connector 26 and is slidably connected to the connector 26. Specifically, the second power element 41 can be a cylinder. The second power element 41 drives the third connecting plate 43 to move, and the third connecting plate 43 drives the second gripper module 45 to move. At the same time, the third connecting plate 43 drives the second guide member 42 to move along the second guide hole of the connector 26, so that the third connecting plate 43 drives the second gripper module 45 to move in a guiding direction. The second guide member 42 then drives the second connecting plate 34 to move.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second gripper assembly 4 further includes a third limiting member 46 and a fourth limiting member 47. The third limiting member 46 is mounted on the third connecting plate 43, and the fourth limiting member 47 is mounted on the fourth connecting plate 44. Both the third limiting member 46 and the fourth limiting member 47 are used to limit the position of the second gripper module 45. Since the third connecting plate 43 and the fourth connecting plate 44 are located on both sides of the connector 26, the third limiting member 46 and the fourth limiting member 47 can limit the second gripper module 45 during movement, thereby preventing the second gripper module 45 from colliding with other components.

[0043] This utility model also provides a winding device, which includes the feeding mechanism of any of the above embodiments.

[0044] It is understood that the winding equipment of this utility model uses the above-mentioned feeding mechanism, in which the rotating component 2 of the feeding mechanism is installed on the frame 1. The rotating component 2 is connected to the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4, and is used to drive the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 to rotate. The first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 are arranged opposite to each other. By setting the rotating component 2, the first gripper component 3 and the second gripper component 4 can take turns picking up and putting down materials. That is, one can pick up materials and the other can put them down, thereby saving operating time, improving production efficiency, and reducing the travel distance of the feeding mechanism compared to the existing single gripper component, thus reducing mechanical fatigue and increasing the service life of the feeding mechanism.

[0045] 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.
