[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0048] In addition, in addition to indicating the orientation or positional relationship, the above-mentioned partial terms can also be used to indicate other meanings, for example, the term "upper" can also be used to indicate a certain dependent relationship or connection relationship in some cases. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in the present application according to the specific situation.

[0049] In addition, the terms "mount", "set", "provided with", "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally constructed; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two devices, elements or components. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present application according to the specific situation.

[0050] In addition, the terms "first", "second", and the like are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures can be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0051] On the automated production line, the pulling mechanism as the core component of the workpiece feeding operation, its stability and reliability are directly related to the production efficiency and product quality. In most cases, these pulling mechanisms will rely on the cylinder to perform the precise clamping and smooth pulling task of the workpiece. However, the extension and retraction action of the cylinder has a certain rigidity, which causes many problems when moving the carrier by using the pulling mechanism.

[0052] Specifically, when the carrier in the material box realizes fast and direct clamping and pulling action, due to the lack of necessary buffer and adjustment mechanism, it is often easy to collide or interfere with the workpiece or other components. This physical direct impact not only causes scratches, deformation and even breakage of the workpiece surface, but also causes irreversible damage to the pulling mechanism itself and even the entire automated production equipment, thereby causing equipment downtime, production line interruption and other serious problems, which seriously affect the production progress and cost control.

[0053] Therefore, the present application provides a pushing mechanism and an automated production equipment, which can simplify the operation steps of feeding by converting the pulling action into a pushing action, thereby shortening the feeding time and improving the production efficiency. In addition, since the pushing action of the pushing mechanism is simple, it can effectively reduce the problem of interference between the pushing mechanism and the carrier, thereby reducing the risk of workpiece damage and equipment operation failure.

[0054] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , wherein, Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an automated production equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a material box provided by the embodiment of the present application. In a first aspect, the embodiment of the present application discloses an automated production equipment 200, which comprises a workbench 203, a material box 201 and a pushing mechanism 100. The material box 201 is configured to carry a plurality of carriers 202, and the opposite two side walls of the material box 201 are provided with a communicating discharge port 2011. The pushing mechanism 100 is arranged corresponding to one of the discharge ports 2011 of the material box 201, and the pushing mechanism 100 is configured to push the carrier 202 out of the other discharge port 2011 of the material box 201 to the workbench 203.

[0056] By setting the pushing mechanism 100, the action of moving the carrier 202 from the magazine 201 to the workbench 203 is changed from pulling to pushing, thereby realizing the feeding operation of the automatic production equipment 200. On the one hand, the operation steps of feeding the carrier 202 can be effectively simplified, thereby shortening the feeding time and improving the production efficiency; on the other hand, the pushing action of the pushing mechanism 100 is simple, which can effectively reduce the problem of interference between the pushing mechanism 100 and the carrier 202, thereby reducing the risk of workpiece damage and equipment operation failure.

[0057] It can be understood that the pulling action refers to the feeding process of clamping the carrier 202 and pulling it out of the magazine 201 and placing it on the workbench 203; the pushing action refers to the feeding process of pushing the carrier 202 out of the magazine 201 to the workbench 203; and the feeding refers to the process of moving the carrier 202 from the magazine 201 to the workbench 203.

[0058] It can be understood that the carrier 202 refers to a tray for carrying workpieces to be processed.

[0059] The specific structure of the pushing mechanism 100 of the automatic production equipment 200 will be described in detail below.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , wherein, Figure 3 is a structural schematic view of the pushing mechanism from one angle provided by the embodiment of the application, Figure 4 is Figure 3 is a local enlarged view of position A in FIG. 8, Figure 5 is Figure 3 is a local enlarged view of position B in FIG. 8. In a second aspect, the embodiment of the application discloses a pushing mechanism 100, which can be applied to the automatic production equipment 200 (see the foregoing Figure 1 ). Specifically, the pushing mechanism 100 comprises a fixed seat 1, a driving assembly 2 and a pushing assembly 3. The driving assembly 2 comprises a driving piece 21 and a transmission piece 22, the driving piece 21 is arranged on the fixed seat 1, the transmission piece 22 is connected to the output shaft 211 of the driving piece 21, and the transmission piece 22 is configured to move in the first direction F1 under the driving of the driving piece 21. The pushing assembly 3 comprises a first connecting piece 31 and a pushing piece 32, one end of the first connecting piece 31 is connected to the transmission piece 22, and the pushing piece 32 is connected to the other end of the first connecting piece 31. The pushing piece 32 is configured to move in the first direction F1 under the driving of the transmission piece 22 and the first connecting piece 31, so as to extend into one of the discharge ports 2011 of the magazine 201 to push the carrier 202 out of the other discharge port 2011 of the magazine 201.

[0061] Compared with the operation steps of the pulling mechanism needing to realize the positioning clamping of the carrier 202, then pulling the carrier 202 out to work, the application directly pushes the carrier 202 out to realize the feeding operation through the setting of the pushing mechanism 100. The movement path and operation steps of the pushing mechanism 100 are relatively simple. On the one hand, the operation steps of the feeding operation can be effectively simplified, thereby shortening the feeding time and improving the production efficiency. On the other hand, since the pushing action of the pushing mechanism 100 is simple, the problem of interference between the pushing mechanism 100 and the carrier 202 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the risk of workpiece damage and equipment operation failure.

[0062] The transmission mode of the transmission member 22 can include but is not limited to belt transmission, gear transmission, chain transmission, worm transmission, etc., and the application embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 3-4 In some embodiments, the pushing assembly 3 further includes a moving block 33 movably arranged on the fixed seat 1 along the first direction F1, the moving block 33 is connected with the other end of the first connecting member 31, and the pushing member 32 is arranged on the moving block 33. By additionally arranging the moving block 33 movably arranged on the fixed seat 1 along the first direction F1, the flexible movement of the pushing member 32 on the fixed seat 1 can be realized. The moving block 33 not only provides stable support for the pushing member 32, but also effectively drives the pushing member 32 to move on the fixed seat 1 along the predetermined direction through its moving characteristics. Thus, the functionality and flexibility of the pushing assembly 3 are enhanced, and the pushing process is more accurate and efficient. At the same time, the moving block 33 is connected with the other end of the first connecting member 31, which ensures the stability and reliability of the transmission of the pushing mechanism 100, thereby improving the pushing performance of the pushing mechanism 100.

[0064] For example, in the sliding block cooperation mode, a sliding rail and a sliding block are arranged between the moving block 33 and the fixed seat 1, the sliding block is fixed on the moving block 33, and the sliding rail is arranged on the fixed seat 1. The sliding block slides in the sliding rail, thereby realizing the stable movement of the moving block 33 along the first direction F1. For another example, in the roller cooperation mode, a roller and a track are arranged between the moving block 33 and the fixed seat 1, the roller is installed on the moving block 33, and the track is arranged on the fixed seat 1. The roller rolls in the track, which can reduce the friction resistance when the moving block 33 moves and improve the moving efficiency. For another example, in the guide groove cooperation mode, a guide groove is arranged on the fixed seat 1, and a guide block matched with the guide groove is arranged on the moving block 33. The guide block is embedded in the guide groove. With the movement of the moving block 33, the guide block slides in the guide groove, thereby ensuring the accurate movement of the moving block 33 along the predetermined direction.

[0065] Optionally, the pushing member 32 comprises a fixing part 321 and a pushing part 322, the fixing part 321 is arranged on the moving block 33, and the pushing part 322 is arranged on the fixing part 321 and extends along the first direction F1. By arranging the fixing part 321 on the moving block 33 and arranging the pushing part 322 on the fixing part 321, the fixing part 321 can stably support the pushing part 322, so that the pushing of the pushing part 322 to the carrier 202 is more stable and reliable, thereby improving the operation stability of the pushing mechanism 100.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 For example, the transmission mode of the transmission member 22 is belt transmission or chain transmission. In some embodiments, the transmission member 22 comprises a plurality of transmission wheels 221 and a transmission belt body 222, the plurality of transmission wheels 221 are arranged at intervals along the first direction F1, and one of the plurality of transmission wheels 221 is rotationally connected with the driving assembly 2, the transmission belt body 222 is in transmission connection with the transmission wheels 221, the first connecting member 31 is connected with the transmission belt body 222, and the transmission belt body 222 is configured to drive the pushing member 32 to move along the first direction F1 under the rotation of the transmission wheels 221.

[0067] By arranging the plurality of transmission wheels 221 at intervals along the first direction F1 and arranging the transmission belt body 222 in transmission connection with the transmission wheels 221, the transmission belt body 222 can drive the pushing member 32 to move along the first direction F1 under the rotation of the transmission wheels 221, thereby realizing that the pushing member 32 can push the carrier 202 out of the material box 201, and reducing vibration and noise in the conveying process by using stable belt transmission, thereby improving the operation stability of the automatic production equipment 200. In addition, when the transmission belt body 222 is overloaded, the transmission belt body 222 will slip on the transmission wheels 221 without moving, thereby avoiding damage to other components and achieving good protection. At the same time, the transmission belt body 222 can be used for conveying a long distance and has good design flexibility, and the transmission belt body 222 can meet the requirement of the pushing mechanism 100 for pushing a long stroke, thereby realizing the purpose of pushing the carrier 202 out of the material box 201 to the workbench 203.

[0068] For example, the transmission belt body 222 can be a transmission chain or a transmission belt, and the transmission wheel 221 can be a transmission sprocket or a transmission pulley, which is not limited in the embodiments of the application.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 3-6 wherein, Figure 6 is Figure 3The local enlarged view at C. Optionally, the fixing base 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 in the first direction F1, the driving member 21 is arranged at the first end 11, and the output shaft 211 of the driving member 21 is perpendicular to the first direction F1. The transmission wheels 221 are three, one transmission wheel 221 is arranged at the first end 11, and two transmission wheels 221 are arranged at the second end 12. The driving assembly 2 is rotationally connected with the one transmission wheel 221, and the transmission belt body 222 is arranged around the one transmission wheel 221 and the two transmission wheels 221. The one transmission wheel 221 is configured to drive the transmission belt body 222 to drive the pushing member 32 to move in the first direction F1.

[0070] The two transmission wheels 221 arranged at the second end 12 of the transmission belt body 222 are configured to adjust the tension of the transmission belt body 222 by adjusting the positions of the two transmission wheels 221, so that the transmission belt body 222 can always maintain a proper tension during operation, thereby reducing the slack or slipping of the transmission belt body 222 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the pushing mechanism 100.

[0071] It can be understood that the driving member 21 is drivingly connected with the transmission wheel 221 arranged at the first end 11, that is, the transmission wheel 221 arranged at the first end 11 is a driving wheel, and the two transmission wheels 221 arranged at the second end 12 are driven wheels. Of course, as another embodiment, any one of the two transmission wheels 221 arranged at the second end 12 can also be a driving wheel, and the present application does not limit the embodiment.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 , wherein, Figure 7 is Figure 3 The local enlarged view at D. Optionally, the fixing base 1 is provided with a fixing block 14, the fixing block 14 is provided with a first through hole 141, and the pushing part 322 is movably arranged in the first through hole 141. Similarly, by arranging the pushing part 322 in the first through hole 141 of the fixing block 14, the fixing block 14 can provide a guiding and limiting function for the pushing part 322. When the pushing part 322 moves, it can stably move along the arrangement direction of the first through hole 141, avoiding the deviation or shaking of the pushing part 322, and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the pushing action of the pushing mechanism 100.

[0073] It can be understood that the size and shape of the first through hole 141 can be adapted to the size and shape of the pushing part 322 to ensure that the pushing part 322 can smoothly move in the first through hole 141.

[0074] Optionally, in order to reduce the friction of the pushing part 322 in the first through hole 141, prolong the service life of the pushing part 322 and the first through hole 141, a lubricating layer (not shown) can be arranged in the first through hole 141. The lubricating layer can be made of a material with low friction coefficient, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material, silicone rubber material, graphite material, etc. When the pushing part 322 moves in the first through hole 141, the lubricating layer can significantly reduce the friction between the two, thereby reducing the wear of the pushing part 322 and the first through hole 141, and improving the service life of the fixed block 14 and the pushing part 322. At the same time, the lubricating layer added in the first through hole 141 also helps to maintain the smooth operation of the pushing mechanism 100, thereby further improving its stability and reliability.

[0075] It can be understood that the shape of the pushing part 322 can be a long strip cylinder or a long strip block, and correspondingly, the shape of the first through hole 141 can be a circle or a rectangle, so as to adapt to the shape of the first through hole 141 and the shape of the pushing part 322. The embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the pushing part 32 is provided with a buffer part 324 at the end away from the first connecting part 31. The buffer part 324 is used to directly contact with the carrier 202, which can play a buffering role when the pushing part 32 contacts with the carrier 202, reducing the impact and wear of the carrier 202 and the pushing part 32, thereby prolonging the service life of the carrier 202 and the pushing part 32. At the same time, the setting of the buffer part 324 can also make the movement of the pushing part 32 more stable, avoiding excessive vibration or noise during the pushing of the carrier 202, thereby improving the working efficiency and stability of the whole pushing mechanism 100. The buffer part 324 can include but is not limited to elastic materials such as super elastic glue and rubber. The specific material selection can be determined according to actual needs and working environment, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 8 , wherein, Figure 8 is another perspective view of the pushing mechanism provided by the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the pushing mechanism 100 further comprises a guide assembly 4 arranged on the fixed seat 1, and the moving block 33 is slidably connected to the guide assembly 4, so that the pushing part 322 moves in the first direction F1. By arranging the guide assembly 4, the moving block 33 can realize stable movement of the pushing part 322 in the first direction F1 under the action of the conveyor belt body 222. This not only improves the guiding accuracy of the pushing mechanism 100, but also enhances the stability of its operation.

[0078] Exemplarily, the guide assembly 4 comprises a sliding rail 41 and a sliding block 42, the sliding rail 41 is in sliding connection with the sliding block 42, wherein the sliding rail 41 is arranged on the fixed seat 1, and the sliding block 42 is fixedly connected with the moving block 33. When the first connecting piece 31 is moved by the transmission of the conveying belt body 222, the moving block 33 drives the pushing part 322 to move along the first direction F1 through the sliding connection of the sliding rail 41 and the sliding block 42.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 8-9 , wherein, Figure 9 is Figure 8 a local enlarged view of E in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the fixed seat 1 is provided with an induction assembly 5 on one end thereof, the induction assembly 5 comprises a mounting piece 51 and a sensor 52, the mounting piece 51 is provided with a limiting opening 511, and the sensor 52 is arranged on the mounting piece 51 and corresponds to the limiting opening 511. The pushing part 32 is provided with a shielding part 323, and the pushing part 32 can drive the shielding part 323 to move along the first direction F1 into the limiting opening 511 or out of the limiting opening 511, and the sensor 52 is configured to detect whether the shielding part 323 is located in the limiting opening 511.

[0080] When the pushing part 32 drives the shielding part 323 to move along the first direction F1 into the limiting opening 511, the sensor 52 can sense the presence of the shielding part 323 and send a corresponding signal. Conversely, when the pushing part 32 drives the shielding part 323 to move along the first direction F1 out of the limiting opening 511, the sensor 52 cannot sense the shielding part 323 and will also send a corresponding signal. In this way, the moving state of the pushing part 32 can be monitored in real time, so as to ensure that the pushing mechanism 100 can work according to the predetermined path. The arrangement of the induction assembly 5 not only improves the automation degree of the pushing mechanism 100, but also helps to discover and handle possible faults in time, further improving the stability and reliability of the automatic production equipment 200.
