[0036] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0037] See Figure 1-14 This utility model provides a material forward docking device. The material forward docking device includes a support 1 and a blocking device 2; the blocking device 2 is disposed on the support 1; the blocking device 2 includes a housing 21, a blocking plate 22, and a movable shaft 23; the housing 21 and the blocking plate 22 are respectively disposed on the support 1, the blocking plate 22 is rotatably connected to the support 1, and the movable shaft 23 is movably connected to the housing 21 and connected to the blocking plate 22; wherein, the movable shaft 23 can move back and forth on the housing 21, driving the blocking plate 22 to rotate on the support 1. The specific descriptions of each component are as follows:

[0038] In this embodiment, the blocking device 2 is mounted on the bracket 1, and the housing 21 is detachably connected to the bracket 1, for example, by fixing the housing 21 to the bracket 1 with screws, washers, and nuts. A shaft is provided between the blocking plate 22 and the bracket 1, denoted as the first shaft 51. The blocking plate 22 can rotate around the first shaft 51. A movable shaft 23 is movably connected to the housing 21, for example, by providing a shaft hole in the housing 21 through which the movable shaft 23 passes. The blocking plate 22 and the movable shaft 23 can be connected by a rope or a tension spring, and the displacement of the movable shaft 23 can cause the blocking plate 22 to rotate around the first shaft 51.

[0039] In one embodiment, the material forward docking device is installed on a material rack containing materials. In a normal state, the blocking plate 22 is in a blocking state to block the materials on the rack. An external force drives the movable shaft 23 to move on the housing 21 and rotates the blocking plate 22. During the rotation of the blocking plate 22, it switches from the blocking state to the unblocking state. After the blocking plate 22 switches to the unblocking state, the materials on the rack slide down by their own weight, thus releasing the materials.

[0040] The technical effects that this material forward docking device can achieve are as follows:

[0041] This material forward docking device is composed of a purely mechanical structure and can be installed on the feeding side of any material rack. The displacement of the movable shaft 23 drives the blocking plate 22 to switch between the blocking state and the unblocking state. It requires no electrical components, has lower cost, and is easier to use.

[0042] See also Figure 1-14 In this embodiment, the blocking device 2 further includes a movable rod 24 and a plurality of blocking plates 22. All the blocking plates 22 are rotatably connected to the bracket 1, and all the blocking plates 22 are rotatably connected to the movable rod 24. The movable rod 24 is located below the bracket 1, and the movable shaft 23 is connected to the movable rod 24.

[0043] Specifically, the blocking plates 22 are connected to the bracket 1 and the movable rod 24 respectively, forming a movable parallelogram linkage structure. All blocking plates 22 can be linked synchronously, and the number of blocking plates 22 can be flexibly selected according to the number of material slides, which is more flexible.

[0044] Furthermore, the blocking device 2 also includes an elastic telescopic member 25, the fixed end 251 of which is connected to the bracket 1, and the telescopic end 252 of which is connected to the movable rod 24 and the movable shaft 23 respectively.

[0045] Specifically, the elastic telescopic component 25 includes a tension spring, a rubber band, and an elastic rope 27. In this embodiment, the elastic telescopic component 25 is selected as a tension spring. One end of the elastic telescopic component 25 is mounted on the bracket 1, and the other end is mounted on the movable rod 24 and the movable shaft 23. This allows the operator to apply force to the movable shaft 23, which in turn moves the movable rod 24. After the operator stops applying force to the movable shaft 23, the elastic telescopic component 25 drives the movable rod 24 and the movable shaft 23 to reset. In one embodiment, the blocking device 2 is mounted on the feeding rack 3. The receiving rack 4 applies force to the movable shaft 23, which in turn moves the movable rod 24. The movable rod 24 then drives the blocking plate 22 to rotate, allowing the material on the feeding rack 3 to slide down onto the receiving rack 4 by its own weight. After the receiving rack 4 is removed, the movable shaft 23 is no longer subjected to the force of the receiving rack 4. The elastic telescopic component 25 drives the movable rod 24 and the movable shaft 23 to reset, and the movable rod 24 then drives the blocking plate 22 to rotate and reset.

[0046] Furthermore, the blocking plate 22 includes a blocking portion 221 and a connecting portion 222. The blocking portion 221 and the connecting portion 222 are integrally formed. The blocking portion 221 and the connecting portion 222 are set at an angle of 100°-180°. The connecting portion 222 is rotatably connected to the movable rod 24.

[0047] Specifically, the front projection shape of the blocking plate 22 is V-shaped with an included angle of 100°-180°. The blocking part 221 is used to block the material on the feeding rack 3, and the connecting part 222 is used to rotatably connect with the movable rod 24. Typically, a first shaft 51 is installed at the connection between the blocking part 221 and the connecting part 222. The blocking plate 22 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1 through the shaft. The shaft through which the connecting part 222 is rotatably connected to the movable rod 24 is called the second shaft 52. The movable rod 24 drives the blocking plate 22 to rotate, causing the connecting part 222 to rotate around the second shaft 52, changing from a vertical state to an inclined state. This allows the blocking part 221 to rotate around the first shaft 51, changing from a state of blocking the material to a state of not blocking the material. During this process, no electronic system is involved, and the material is conveyed by its own weight, making it simpler to use. At the same time, the structure is simplified, and maintenance is simpler.

[0048] Furthermore, the blocking device 2 also includes a roller 26 and a rope 27. The roller 26 is disposed on the housing 21, and the rope 27 is wrapped around the roller 26. The movable shaft 23 and the movable rod 24 are connected through the rope 27.

[0049] Specifically, a pulley system is constructed using rollers 26 and ropes 27. The movable shaft 23 is connected to the movable rod 24 via ropes 27, enabling the movable shaft 23 to drive the movable rod 24, and the movable rod 24 to drive the movable shaft 23. The direction of movement of the movable shaft 23 and the direction of movement of the movable rod 24 can be flexibly adjusted, resulting in greater flexibility.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding rack 3 and a receiving rack 4. The support 1 and the blocking device 2 are respectively disposed on the feeding rack 3. The blocking device 2 is disposed at the discharge end of the feeding rack 3. The height of the feeding end of the receiving rack 4 is less than or equal to the height of the discharge end of the feeding rack 3.

[0051] Specifically, the feeding rack 3 is used to release materials. Typically, the feeding rack 3 is fixedly installed in the workshop for temporary storage of materials. The receiving rack 4 is used to transport and transfer materials. Typically, the receiving rack 4 is equipped with casters at the bottom to facilitate the transportation of materials within the workshop. In this embodiment, the blocking device 2 is installed at the discharge end of the feeding rack 3. The surface of the feeding rack 3 that carries materials is inclined, and the lower part of the inclined surface of the feeding rack 3 is the discharge end of the feeding rack 3. The materials slide down the feeding rack 3 by their own weight, and the blocking plate 22 prevents the materials on the feeding rack 3 from falling. The surface of the receiving rack 4 that carries materials is inclined, and the higher part of the inclined surface of the receiving rack 4 is the feed end of the receiving rack 4. The receiving rack 4 is close to the feeding rack 3 and first contacts the movable shaft 23. The movable shaft 23 drives the blocking plate 22 to rotate, and the blocking plate 22 no longer blocks the materials on the feeding rack 3. The materials on the feeding rack 3 slide down to the receiving rack 4 by their own weight. In this embodiment, a railing is installed at the lower part of the inclined surface of the receiving rack 4 to prevent the material on the receiving rack 4 from sliding out of the receiving rack 4 along the inclined surface.

[0052] Furthermore, the feeding rack 3 includes a first material frame 31 and a first material slide 32, the first material slide 32 being disposed on the first material frame 31.

[0053] Furthermore, the first material chute 32 includes a first track 321 and a plurality of first rollers 322, all of which are arranged on the first track 321.

[0054] Specifically, the first material chute 32 is inclinedly mounted on the first material frame 31. The first material chute 32 includes a first track 321 and a plurality of first rollers 322. Each first roller is rotatably connected to the first track 321. The first rollers reduce the friction of the material on the feeding rack 3, improve the efficiency of the material sliding down the feeding rack 3 by its own weight, and improve the durability of the feeding rack 3. In this embodiment, the first track 321 is detachably connected to the first material frame 31 through a first connector 323, so that the first material chute 32 can be easily installed on the first material frame 31.

[0055] Furthermore, the receiving rack 4 includes a second material frame 41 and a second material slide 42, the second material slide 42 being disposed on the second material frame 41.

[0056] Furthermore, the second material chute 42 includes a second track 421 and a plurality of second rollers 422, all of which are arranged on the second track 421.

[0057] Specifically, the second material chute 42 is inclinedly mounted on the second material frame 41. The second material chute 42 includes a second track 421 and multiple second rollers 422. Each second roller 422 is rotatably connected to the second track 421. The second rollers 422 reduce the friction of the material on the receiving frame 4, improve the efficiency of the material sliding down the receiving frame 4 by its own weight, and improve the durability of the receiving frame 4. In this embodiment, the second track 421 is detachably connected to the second material frame 41 through a second connector 423, so that the second material chute 42 can be easily installed on the second material frame 41.
