Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to production line conveying equipment technical field, especially a bidirectional step -by -step feeding mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the automatic production line, the feeding mechanism is suitable for transplanting and carrying occasions of various equipment, such as linear arrangement multi-station measuring machine, labeling machine, point glue machine etc. But this feeding mechanism mostly adopts the separate feeding mechanism design at each station, resulting in the volume of equipment is big and the cost is high, and the applicability of feeding mechanism is poor. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of prior art, the main purpose of the utility model is to provide a bidirectional step -by -step feeding mechanism with strong universality, and the number of production stations can be freely set.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a bidirectional step -by -step feeding mechanism, including intermediate support frame and the belt conveying line setting at the both sides of intermediate support frame, the stop lever for blocking product is set on the belt conveying line, the servo linear module is set on the intermediate support frame, the fixed plate is connected with the servo linear module, a pair of vertical guide rails are set on the fixed plate, the lifting plate is slidably connected on the pair of vertical guide rails, the lifting cylinder is also set on the fixed plate, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected with the lifting plate, the profile support rod is connected on the bottom of the lifting plate, n suction units are set on the profile support rod at equal intervals, the suction unit includes support and a plurality of suction cups set on the support, n-2 production stations are set below the profile support rod, two suction units setting at the outermost of the profile support rod are set above two belt conveying lines respectively.

[0005] Preferably, a pair of transverse sliding rails are set on the intermediate support frame, and the fixed plate is connected with the pair of transverse sliding rails through the sliding block.

[0006] Preferably, two suction units setting at the outermost of the profile support rod are set on the down-pressing cylinder, and the down-pressing cylinder is set on the profile support rod through the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the both sides of the lifting plate are respectively provided with the baffle, and the upper baffle and the lower baffle capable of abutting the baffle are set on the fixed plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the two belt conveyor lines transport products in the same direction, and the two belt conveyor lines can transport products to the left or to the right at the same time. The function of the two belt conveyor lines is that one is used for feeding materials and the other is used for unloading materials. Taking a belt conveyor system transporting products from left to right as an example, after the product is conveyed by the left belt conveyor, it stops at the stop position. Then, the servo linear module drives the profile support rod to move to the left. When the leftmost suction unit reaches above the product, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to descend. The profile support rod and suction unit descend simultaneously. Then, the outermost suction unit contacts the product and sucks it up. Next, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise, and then the servo linear module moves to the right a distance equal to the distance between adjacent suction units, moving the just-suctioned product to the first production station. Then, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to descend, and the suction unit releases the product as it moves to the production station. Simultaneously, the product that was just at this production station is sucked up by another suction unit and released to the next production station. The product at the last production station is sucked up by the rightmost suction unit and loaded onto the right belt conveyor. This solution is highly versatile, and the number of production stations can be freely set. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The working principle of the bidirectional step-by-step feeding mechanism is that the two belt conveying lines 2 convey products in the same direction, and the two belt conveying lines 2 can convey products to the left or to the right at the same time. The two belt conveying lines 2 are used for feeding and discharging respectively. Figure 1 Taking the belt conveying line 2 conveying products from left to right as an example, after the products conveyed by the left belt conveying line 2 reach the stop lever position, the servo linear module 3 drives the profile support rod 8 to move leftwards, when the leftmost suction unit 9 reaches above the products, the lifting cylinder 7 drives the lifting plate 6 to descend, so that the profile support rod 8 and the suction unit 9 descend at the same time, then the outermost suction unit 9 contacts and adsorbs the products, then the lifting cylinder 7 drives the lifting plate 6 to ascend, then the servo linear module 3 moves rightwards by a distance, which is the distance between adjacent suction units 9, i.e. the products just adsorbed are moved to the first production station 10, then the lifting cylinder 7 drives the lifting plate 6 to descend, the suction unit 9 releases the products when moving the products to the production station 10, at the same time, the products on the production station 10 are adsorbed by another suction unit 9 and released to the next production station 10, and the products on the last production station 10 are adsorbed by the rightmost suction unit 9 and discharged to the right belt conveying line 2. The bidirectional step-by-step feeding mechanism has strong versatility, and the number of production stations 10 can be freely set.

[0014] Preferably, a pair of transverse sliding rails 11 is arranged on the middle support frame 1, and the fixed plate 4 is connected to the pair of transverse sliding rails 11 through sliding blocks.

[0015] The purpose of such arrangement is to make the servo linear module 3 more stable during left and right movement.

[0016] Preferably, the two material suction units 9 arranged at the outermost sides of the profile support rod 8 are arranged on the downward pressing cylinder 12, which is arranged on the profile support rod 8 through the connecting plate 13.

[0017] The product is adsorbed by the suction disc 18 of the outermost material suction unit 9 driven by the downward pressing cylinder 12, which can improve the accuracy of adsorption and freely set the pressing degree.
