[0004] When using the above-mentioned quilting equipment, the material rolls placed in the material guiding mechanism need to be manually moved from the warehouse after use, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an automatic feeding mechanism for quilting equipment that is convenient and easy to use.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism for quilting equipment, the quilting equipment including a guiding mechanism, the guiding mechanism including a row of horizontally arranged material bars; the automatic feeding mechanism includes a robot and a support, characterized in that two rocker arm shafts are horizontally rotatably provided on the support, and the two rocker arm shafts are arranged side by side along the distribution direction of the material bars; a long plate is fixed on each of the two rocker arm shafts, and the axes of the long plate, the rocker arm shafts and the material bars are arranged in parallel; the support is also provided with two driving components for driving the two rocker arm shafts to swing respectively, and by swinging the rocker arm shafts, a bearing area for supporting the material upward can be formed between the two long plate bodies; the robot is used to grab the material and place it horizontally into the bearing area; the support can slide back and forth along the distribution direction of the material bars, and the bearing area can be moved above the guiding mechanism by sliding the support.

[0007] In use, the robotic arm grabs the material roll from the hopper and places it horizontally into the bearing area. When the material roll on one of the material bars is used up and needs to be replaced, the material bar is removed first. Then, the support is moved to move the bearing area to the roll replacement point. Then, the drive unit drives the rocker arm shaft to swing so that the two long plates move away from each other to unload the material roll. Finally, the material bar is inserted into the material roll and put back in.

[0008] With the cooperation of components such as robotic arms, drive units, rocker arm shafts, and long plates, a transfer space is formed above the material guiding mechanism, which effectively reduces the travel distance for operators to change material rolls and has the advantages of being convenient and easy to use.

[0009] In the automatic feeding mechanism of the aforementioned quilting equipment, the support frame is a frame structure. The material guiding mechanism has horizontally arranged elongated support members on both sides along the axial direction of the material bar. These support members are fixedly installed, and their length extends along the distribution direction of the material bar. The two ends of the support frame are slidably mounted on the two support members. This design ensures smooth sliding of the support frame and facilitates material roll replacement.

[0010] In the automatic feeding mechanism of the quilting equipment described above, the support component is a floor rail, and at least one roller adapted to the floor rail is installed at each end of the support. This design offers advantages such as simple structure and convenient installation.

[0011] In the automatic feeding mechanism of the quilting equipment described above, the driving component includes a cylinder. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the end of the corresponding rocker arm shaft through a fisheye joint. The cylinder body is hinged on the bracket through a rotating shaft, and the axes of the rotating shaft and the material bar are arranged parallel to each other.

[0012] In the automatic feeding mechanism of the quilting equipment mentioned above, each driving component includes two cylinders, and the two cylinders act on the two ends of the corresponding rocker arm shaft to more stably support the material roll and improve working stability.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the automatic feeding mechanism of this quilting equipment, with the cooperation of components such as robotic arm, drive unit, rocker arm shaft, and long plate, forms a transfer space above the material guiding mechanism, effectively reducing the operator's travel distance when changing material rolls, and has the advantages of being convenient and easy to use.

A long plate 5 is fixed to each of the two rocker arm shafts 4, and the axes of the long plate 5, the rocker arm shafts 4, and the material bar 1a are arranged parallel to each other. The support 3 is also provided with two driving components for driving the two rocker arm shafts 4 to swing, causing the two long plate 5 to move closer or further apart. By swinging the rocker arm shafts 4, a bearing area 6 for supporting the material upwards can be formed between the two long plate 5. The support 3 can slide back and forth along the distribution direction of the material bar 1a, and by sliding the support 3, the bearing area 6 can be moved above the material guiding mechanism 1.

[0024] The structure of robotic arm 2 is relatively conventional and will not be described in detail here. This robotic arm 2 is used to grasp materials and place them horizontally into the carrying area 6.

Then, the support 3 is moved to move the bearing area 6 to the roll replacement position. Then, the drive unit drives the rocker arm shaft 4 to swing so that the two long plates 5 move away from each other to unload the material roll. Finally, the material bar 1a is inserted into the material roll and put back in.

[0026] With the cooperation of components such as the robotic arm 2, drive unit, rocker arm shaft 4, and long plate 5, a transfer space is formed above the material guiding mechanism 1, which effectively reduces the travel distance for operators to change material rolls and has the advantages of being convenient and easy to use.

The material guiding mechanism 1 has horizontally arranged elongated support members 7 on both sides along the axial direction of the material bar 1a. The support members 7 are fixedly installed, and their length extends along the distribution direction of the material bar 1a. The two ends of the support 3 are slidably mounted on the two support members 7. This design ensures smooth sliding of the support 3 and facilitates material roll replacement.

[0028] In this embodiment,

[0029] Both ends of the rocker arm shaft 4 are supported on the bracket 3 by bearings.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support member 7 is a ground rail, and at least one roller 9 adapted to the ground rail is installed at each end of the bracket 3. This design offers advantages such as simple structure and convenient installation.

[0031] The driving component includes a cylinder 8. The piston rod of the cylinder 8 is connected to the end of the corresponding rocker arm shaft 4 via a fisheye connector 10. The cylinder body of the cylinder 8 is hinged on the bracket 3 via a rotating shaft, and the axes of the rotating shaft and the material bar 1a are parallel. Preferably, each driving component includes two cylinders 8, and the two cylinders 8 act on the two ends of the corresponding rocker arm shaft 4 respectively, so as to more stably support the material roll and improve working stability.
