[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic feeding mechanism for orthopedic frames, comprising: a frame 1 having a length (L) and a width (W), with anti-detachment frames 10 arranged on both sides of the frame 1 along its length, the anti-detachment frames 10 and the frame 1 forming a conveying space 100 for placing the sheet material; and a lifting assembly 2 movably disposed within the frame 1, wherein a plurality of support plates 20 are evenly distributed in an array on the lifting assembly 2, and at least one adsorption element 21 is provided between each two adjacent support plates 20 for adsorbing the sheet material. And confine it to the support plate 20; the conveying component 3 is movably arranged in the frame 1, and the output end of the conveying component 3 is connected to the lifting component 2 to drive the lifting component 2 to move along the length direction of the frame 1; when the lifting component 2 retracts into the frame 1, the plate can be placed on the frame 1 and located at the bottom of the conveying space 100; when the lifting component 2 is vertically lifted along the direction of the conveying space 100, there is a height difference between the plate and the frame 1, so that the conveying component 3 can convey the plate along the length direction of the frame 1 to the required position.

[0035] This embodiment mainly involves transferring the sheet metal from one end of frame 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 Push the right end to the other end (e.g.) Figure 1(at the left end), before this, the lifting assembly 2 retracts into the frame 1, that is, the lifting assembly 2 is completely below the conveying space 100, as the external robot places the required sheet into such a position. Figure 1 At the right end of the frame 1 shown, the board is supported by the frame 1. When the board needs to be moved, the lifting component 2 starts to work and gradually extends vertically into the conveying space 100. After being lifted to a certain height, several adsorption components 21 can adsorb the bottom wall of the board. At the same time, the top of the support plate 20 is also in close contact with the bottom wall of the board. With the cooperation of the two, the board can be effectively prevented from sliding or detaching during the conveying process, thus improving the safety of operation. Once the board is lifted to be completely within the conveying space 100 (i.e., the board is not in contact with the frame 1 and the anti-detachment frame 10, so that a height difference is formed between the board and the frame 1), the lifting component 2 can be driven by the conveying component 3 to move along the length of the frame 1, thereby realizing the precise conveying of the board from one position to another required position. It is evident that the feeding mechanism is highly automated, enabling rapid and precise feeding of sheet metal, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the need for manual intervention. At the same time, the conveying space 100 provides sufficient space for the height difference between the sheet metal and the frame 1, effectively preventing the sheet metal from bumping during the conveying process. Furthermore, the combined use of the support plate 20 and the suction component 21 prevents the sheet metal from accidentally slipping or shifting during the conveying process, enhancing operational safety and system reliability.

[0036] The lifting assembly 2 also includes a movable plate 22 and a lifting unit 23. The movable plate 22 is disposed at the output end of the conveying assembly 3. The lifting unit 23 is disposed on the movable plate 22, and a lifting bracket 230 is connected to the driving end of the lifting unit 23. Several support plates 20 and adsorption components 21 are all installed on the lifting bracket 230.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, after the operator or the automation device (robot) places the plate on the rack 1 at the bottom end of the conveying space 100, the lifting unit 23 starts to work, and in the process of pushing the lifting bracket 230 upward in the vertical direction, the suction accessory 21 (such as an electromagnet or a vacuum chuck) starts to work, and by arranging the suction accessory 21 flush with the support plate 20 and combining the precise control of the lifting unit 23, it is ensured that the plate can be accurately attached to the support plate 20, reducing the positioning error and improving the accuracy of feeding. As the plate is stably adsorbed and suspended above the rack 1 (i.e. near the middle section of the conveying space 100), the conveying assembly 3 can move the lifting unit 23 along the length direction of the rack 1 by moving the moving plate 22, and after reaching the target position, the lifting unit 23 is lowered and retracted into the rack 1 to place the shifted plate to prepare for the next processing procedure. It should be noted that the lifting unit 23 in the embodiment allows flexible adjustment of the lifting height and adsorption according to different plate sizes and shapes, has strong adaptability, and can meet diversified production needs.

[0038] The lifting unit 23 includes a driving motor 232 and a lifting machine 233 both arranged on the moving plate 22, the driving motor 232 is connected with the lifting machine 233 through a transmission shaft 234, and a lifting rod 235 is movably arranged in the lifting machine 233 in the vertical direction, and the top end of the lifting rod 235 is connected with the lifting bracket 230.

[0039] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The power of the driving motor 232 is transmitted to the lifting machine 233 through the transmission shaft 234, so that the mechanical structure inside the lifting machine 233 starts to work, prompting the lifting rod 235 to move upward in the vertical direction, and with the lifting of the lifting rod 235, the lifting bracket 230 connected with the top end of the lifting rod 235 is also lifted, and then the support plate 20 and the suction accessory 21 on the lifting bracket 230 gradually approach and finally contact the surface of the plate. Once the lifting bracket 230 is lifted into place, the plate is firmly adsorbed on the support plate 20, preparing for the subsequent accurate conveying. This embodiment uses the lifting machine 233 as an actuator, which has higher reliability and stability compared with a simple pneumatic or hydraulic system, reducing the failure rate caused by external factors. At the same time, the precise cooperation of the driving motor 232 and the lifting machine 233 can realize the fine adjustment control of the height of the plate, ensuring that each lifting can reach the expected height, improving the accuracy of feeding. It should be noted that the working principle of the lifting machine 233 and the lifting rod 235 in this embodiment is the same as that of the ball screw converting rotary motion into linear motion, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The lifting bracket 230 is equidistantly distributed with several L-shaped extension plates 231 in the length direction, and each L-shaped extension plate 231 is detachably provided with a suction accessory 21 in the vertical direction, so that the suction end of the suction accessory 21 is arranged flush with the support plate 20.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, several support plates 20 are equidistantly distributed on the upper surface of the lifting bracket 230, ensuring that the support plates 20 stably support the plate in a horizontal position. An L-shaped extension plate 231 is provided between each adjacent support plate 20. This staggered design ensures that the adsorption and support forces are evenly distributed over the bottom wall of the plate, effectively preventing the plate from tilting or even shaking and detaching during transport. The adsorption end of the adsorption component 21 (i.e.,...) Figure 2 The suction end of the suction cup is flush with the support plate 20, ensuring that the material can be precisely adhered to the support plate 20, reducing errors caused by positional deviations and improving feeding accuracy. The detachable design of the suction component 21 facilitates quick replacement or maintenance, reducing equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, the type or position of the suction component 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to different types of materials, making it more adaptable.

[0042] Each adsorption element 21 is provided with an adjusting rod 24 that moves through the L-shaped extension plate 231. A locking nut 240 is detachably connected to the adjusting rod 24, which is used to limit the movement of the adjusting rod 24 relative to the L-shaped extension plate 231.

[0043] More preferably, in this embodiment, the end of the adjusting rod 24 passing through the L-shaped extension plate 231 can be provided with a threaded section. When facing plates of different thicknesses and shapes, the movement of the adjusting rod 24 within the L-shaped extension plate 231 allows the adsorption component 21 to be flexibly adjusted in the vertical direction to adapt to different adsorption requirements, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the structure. The locking nut 240, after the adjusting rod 24 is adjusted to the required position, ensures that the adjusting rod 24 will not move accidentally during operation by engaging with the threaded section, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment operation and reducing the risk caused by loose parts. This structure is relatively simple, convenient and quick to operate, saves the time required for operation, and significantly improves the overall production efficiency.

[0044] The conveying assembly 3 includes a drive unit 30 and a guide rail 31 both mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the drive unit 30 is connected to the moving plate 22. The guide rail 31 is arranged along the length of the frame 1. A guide block 32 is provided at the bottom of the moving plate 22. The guide block 32 is movably engaged with the guide rail 31.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, when the plate is lifted to the required position by the lifting support 230 (i.e. when it is in the conveying space 100), the moving plate 22 can be precisely displaced along the guide rail 31 as the driving member 30 operates. In this process, the guide rail 31 ensures that the moving plate 22 can only move in the length direction of the rack 1, and the close fit between the guide block 32 and the guide rail 31 ensures the stability and straightness of the moving plate 22, preventing any unnecessary deviation. Therefore, by using the driving member 30 in combination with the guide rail 31, the overall structural layout is simplified, the complexity is reduced, and the installation and maintenance are facilitated.

[0046] Preferably, the driving member 30 in this embodiment can use the linear guide rail commonly used in machinery or use the ball screw structure to realize the reciprocating movement of the moving plate 22 in the rack 1, without the need for manual intervention throughout the process, effectively ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the plate conveying.

[0047] The driving member 30 is provided with a fixing plate 300, the fixing plate 300 is provided with a locking block 301, and the moving plate 22 is provided with a locking hole 220, and the locking block 301 is movably inserted into the locking hole 220.

[0048] Further preferably, when the lifting support 230 is close to Figure 1 the right end position, the locking block 301 on the fixing plate 300 is inserted into the locking hole 220 at this time, ensuring that the moving plate 22 can be firmly locked at the key position, avoiding any possible slight deviation, and improving the accuracy of plate positioning. The existence of the locking mechanism not only ensures the safety of the equipment operation, but also reduces the risk caused by loose or failed components, protecting the safety of the operators.

[0049] Further preferably, as Figure 1 shown, the present embodiment also forms an inverted L-shaped limiting portion 101 at the top end of the anti-disengagement frame 10. The design of the L-shaped limiting portion 101 effectively prevents the plate from sliding or deviating due to excessive lifting during the lifting process, ensuring the safety of the operators and reducing the risk of equipment damage.

[0050] The rack 1 is movably provided with a plurality of adjusting columns 11, and the bottom end of each adjusting column 11 is connected with a supporting leg 110. The plurality of supporting legs 110 can contact the ground when the adjusting column 11 moves relative to the rack 1, so that the rack 1 maintains a horizontal posture.

[0051] Further preferably, as Figure 1As shown, no matter in the factory workshop or other working environment, the ground conditions are often different, and by adjusting the position of the adjusting column 11 relative to the rack 1, the supporting feet 110 of each position can be contacted with the ground, so that the levelness of the whole device meets the use requirements, and therefore, the design can adapt to various ground conditions (for example, slightly uneven ground), and the application range of the device is expanded. It should be noted that the position adjustment of the supporting feet 110 between the adjusting column 11 and the rack 1 in the embodiment can be realized by threaded connection.

[0052] Preferably, the rack 1 of the embodiment can also movably be provided with a plurality of rolling wheels (not shown in the figure), and the design of the rolling wheels significantly improves the overall mobility of the device, so that the large and heavy device can also be relatively easily adjusted in position. This is particularly important for enterprises that frequently need to rearrange production lines, which can greatly shorten downtime and improve flexibility.
