[0027] With reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the utility model proposes a kind of feeding device, specifically including beam 100 and first feeding mechanism 200, second feeding mechanism 300.The beam 100 is as the basis structure of feeding mechanism movement, beam 100 has enough strength and stability to support two feeding mechanisms and the product carried thereby.

[0028] Further, first feeding mechanism 200 and second feeding mechanism 300 are arranged and moved along the length direction of beam 100, for transferring product between different stations.The first feeding mechanism 200 includes the first base 210 of sliding connection beam 100 and the first feeding assembly arranged at the first base 210, and the first feeding assembly is used to clamp or push product to realize transfer, and the second feeding mechanism 300 includes the second base 310 of sliding connection beam 100 and the second feeding assembly arranged at the second base 310, and the second feeding assembly is also used to clamp or push product.And, first feeding assembly and second feeding assembly can alternately transfer product according to the difference of each station processing time, avoid waiting and congestion.

[0029] Specifically, the crossbeam 100 comprises a first slide rail 120 and a first housing 110, and a first slide is formed between the first slide rail 120 and the first housing 110 to provide guidance for the movement of the feeding mechanism. The first base 210 and the second base 310 are respectively provided with a first slider 211 and a second slider 311 that slide along the first slide, ensuring the stable movement of the feeding mechanism on the crossbeam 100. The first housing 110 is provided with a first driving member 220 connected to the first slider 211 and a second driving member 320 connected to the second slider 311, and the precise movement of the feeding mechanism on the crossbeam 100 is realized by controlling the extension and retraction of the driving members. The first driving member 220 and the second driving member 320 are arranged at both ends of the crossbeam 100, facilitating unified control and maintenance, while reducing interference with the middle region of the crossbeam 100.

[0030] It should be noted that the first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300 can move independently and asynchronously according to the difference in processing time of different stations, which means that they can respectively transfer products at the most appropriate time point, avoiding the waiting and congestion phenomenon that may occur in the traditional synchronous transfer mode, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency of the entire packaging system. The asynchronous movement mode allows the two feeding mechanisms to be flexibly scheduled according to actual needs, avoiding the idle and waste of resources. At the same time, it also allows one feeding mechanism to prepare for the next transfer while the other feeding mechanism is transferring, thereby optimizing the allocation of human and equipment resources.

[0031] It can be understood that the asynchronous movement of the first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300 enhances the flexibility of the entire packaging system. When an abnormal situation or processing time extension occurs at a certain station, the other feeding mechanism can quickly adjust its movement speed and position to adapt to the changes, ensuring the continuity and stability of the production line.

[0032] It should be noted that the first driving member 220 and the second driving member 320 respectively drive the first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300, and the two driving members can be selected as electric cylinders, and the extension and retraction parts of the electric cylinders adopt an interlaced design, which can maximize the avoidance of mutual interference between the two feeding mechanisms during movement, reducing equipment damage and downtime caused by collision or friction. This not only improves the reliability and durability of the equipment, but also reduces maintenance costs. Moreover, the movement path and speed of the two feeding mechanisms can be more independently controlled, thereby simplifying the control logic and programming difficulty. Further, the layout of the two feeding mechanisms on the crossbeam 100 is more compact, effectively saving space. This is particularly important for packaging equipment or production lines with limited space, as it maximizes the use of existing space and improves space utilization.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first slider 211 is designed as an arc shape, which allows the internal space of the first slider 211 to allow the first slide rail 120 to pass through when sliding along the first slide rail. Not only reduces the use of materials, reduces the manufacturing cost, but also makes the relative movement between the first slider 211 and the first slide rail 120 more smooth, reduces the friction and wear, improves the stability and durability of the feeding device.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3 Specifically, the first feeding assembly further comprises a first translation seat 230 slidingly connected to the first base 210. The first translation seat 230 can move in the direction set by itself, thereby increasing the flexibility of the feeding assembly. On one side of the first translation seat 230, we set the clamping member 240 for clamping or releasing the product, realizing the transfer of the product, and enabling the feeding assembly to more accurately control the position and movement speed of the product, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding.

[0035] It should be noted that the clamping direction of the clamping member 240 is perpendicular to the direction of the first translation seat 230 moving relative to the first base 210, and also perpendicular to the direction of the first base 210 moving relative to the crossbeam 100. To ensure that the clamping member 240 can maintain stable clamping force and clamping position when clamping or releasing the product, avoiding the product from shaking or falling off during the transfer process. At the same time, the vertical clamping direction also makes the feeding assembly more easily adapt to products of different shapes and sizes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the feeding device.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the clamping direction of the clamping member 240 is set as the up-down direction. It can be understood that the clamping member 240 can open and close like a clamp, conveniently clamping and releasing the product. At the same time, the up-down direction of clamping also facilitates cooperation with other parts of the packaging system, such as the lifting mechanism, the conveying belt, etc., to realize seamless docking and transfer of the product. It should be noted that when the clamping member 240 is closed, it can be pushed towards the to-be-clamped object to complete the position adjustment or boxing step of the to-be-clamped object.

[0037] Specifically, the first translation seat 230 includes a base plate 231 attached to the first base 210, a vertical plate 232 standing on the base plate 231, and a rib plate 233 connecting the base plate 231 and the vertical plate 232. The other side of the vertical plate 232 is provided with the clamping member 240. The first translation seat 230 has sufficient strength and stability to withstand the weight of the product and the impact force during movement. At the same time, the rib plate 233 also increases the rigidity and torsional resistance of the first translation seat 230, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the feeding assembly during the transfer of the product. Optionally, the rib plate 233 is triangular in shape to further ensure the stability of the first translation seat 230.

[0038] In order to further improve the flexibility and accuracy of the feeding assembly, a second slide rail 250 and a second housing 260 are arranged on the first base 210 to form a second slide. A third sliding block 270 is arranged on the first translation seat 230 to slide along the second slide. By controlling the third driving member 280 arranged on the second housing 260 to perform telescopic movement, the accurate movement of the first translation seat 230 on the second slide can be realized. Not only the movement degree of freedom of the feeding assembly is increased, but also the user can adjust the position and angle of the clamping member 240 according to actual needs, so that the adaptability and flexibility of the feeding device are improved. At the same time, the third driving member 280 and the clamping member 240 are arranged at two ends of the first translation seat 230 respectively, so that the balance and stability of the feeding assembly during the transfer of products are also ensured.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the second feeding mechanism 300 is designed to have the same structure as the first feeding mechanism 200. This means that the second feeding mechanism 300 also includes a second base 310 which is slidably connected to the cross beam 100 and can move along the length direction of the cross beam 100. The second base 310 is provided with similar slide rails, sliding blocks and driving members and the like components as in the first feeding mechanism 200, for driving the second translation seat to move in the same way as the first translation seat 230. The second translation seat is also provided with a clamping member 240 for clamping and releasing products. The same structure means that the two feeding mechanisms have the same process and standard in maintenance and repair, which reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0040] In another specific embodiment, in order to meet the production needs of more complex or larger scale, more feeding mechanisms can be added to the cross beam 100 as needed. These newly added feeding mechanisms can also adopt the same structure design and working principle as the first feeding mechanism 200 and the second feeding mechanism 300. By adding more feeding mechanisms as needed, the automation degree and production efficiency of the production line can be further improved to meet the production needs of more complex or larger scale. At the same time, since all the feeding mechanisms adopt the same structure design and working principle, the maintenance and repair work can be simplified, and the maintenance cost and time cost can be reduced.

[0041] The utility model also proposes a kind of packaging equipment, including the feeding device as any one of the above. This packaging equipment can utilize the flexibility and accuracy of feeding device, realize the orderly transfer and efficient packaging of product between different stations. The addition of feeding device not only improves the automation degree and production efficiency of packaging equipment, but also reduces labor cost and operation difficulty.

[0042] The utility model also proposes a kind of packaging system, it includes the feeding device described in any one of above, or it includes the packaging equipment as described above.This packaging system can make full use of the flexibility and accuracy of feeding device, realize product from collation, stacking, bagging to a series of packaging processes such as packing, automation and high efficiency.Feeding device as the key component of packaging system, its stability and efficiency directly affect the performance and effect of entire packaging system, also can significantly improve the overall performance and competitiveness of packaging system.

[0043] The utility model has been described in detail above in connection with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, within the knowledge range possessed by ordinary skilled person in the art, various changes can also be made without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
