Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material conveying, and particularly relates to a feeding mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a production process, temporary storage and distribution of materials are important. In the distribution of materials, a feeding mechanism is generally arranged to convey the materials. The current feeding mechanism generally adopts a feeding mode of a transmission belt. However, in the feeding mode of the transmission belt, multiple materials are placed on the transmission belt, and the movement of the transmission belt is easy to drive the multiple materials to be discharged at the same time, so that a detection component is difficult to accurately detect the number of materials. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] Therefore, the present application provides a feeding mechanism, which can improve the detection accuracy of the number of discharged materials.

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a feeding mechanism, which comprises a driving assembly, a transmission belt and a first detection component. The driving assembly comprises a driving piece and multiple rotating bodies. The driving piece is connected with at least one rotating body to drive the rotating body to rotate. The outer surface of the transmission belt is provided with multiple separation components. The multiple separation components are arranged at intervals to form multiple temporary storage areas. Each temporary storage area is used to place materials. The transmission belt is arranged around the multiple rotating bodies to drive the transmission belt to move through the rotating bodies, so that the multiple separation components move to a discharge position in sequence. The first detection component is located on one side of the transmission belt and is arranged towards the separation component located at the discharge position to detect whether there is material on the separation component and record the number of discharged materials.

[0005] By setting multiple separation components on the transmission belt, the multiple separation components form multiple temporary storage areas, multiple materials can be orderly placed in multiple temporary storage areas, one material is placed in one temporary storage area, when the material needs to be discharged, the driving member drives the transmission belt to move, so that the multiple separation components can orderly move to the discharge position in turn, and the materials are discharged in turn; when the transmission belt directly carries the materials to automatically discharge the materials, the materials in one temporary storage area are discharged, and the materials in other temporary storage areas cannot be separated from the transmission belt due to the blocking of the corresponding separation components, thereby improving the control effect on the number of discharged materials; when the materials are discharged by the transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism can clamp the materials at the same position (discharge position) of the transmission belt during multiple operations of the transfer mechanism, thereby reducing the control difficulty of the transfer mechanism, and the transfer mechanism can only clamp the materials in the temporary storage area at the position, and due to the separation effect of the separation components, the transfer mechanism is not easy to clamp the materials in other temporary storage areas, thereby improving the control effect on the number of discharged materials. In the production process, a preset number of materials are needed, the first detection component can sequentially detect the materials of the separation component at the discharge position, thereby improving the situation of incorrect detection and missed detection of the detection component, and when the first detection component detects that the discharged materials meet the preset number during the movement of the transmission belt, the driving member is automatically stopped to work, thereby improving the control effect on the number of discharged materials, meeting the production requirements, and manual control of the driving member is not needed, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a base, the first detection component is installed on the base, the base has a mounting space, and the transmission belt is arranged in the mounting space. When the transmission belt drives the separation component to move to a position towards the bottom of the base, the separation component is arranged spaced apart from the bottom of the mounting space.

[0007] In the above arrangement, when the separation component moves to a position towards the bottom of the base, the separation component and the bottom of the mounting space are not in contact with each other, thereby improving the problem of interference between the separation component and the inner wall of the base.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, the separation component at the discharge position is arranged inclined towards the bottom of the base; the first detection component is installed on the bottom of the base, and the first detection component is arranged towards the separation component at the discharge position.

[0009] Since the separation component at the discharge position is arranged inclined towards the bottom of the base, the material can be separated from the temporary storage area under the action of its own weight, thereby realizing automatic discharge of the material.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, the base includes a feeding structure, the feeding structure has a feeding port in communication with the mounting space for feeding materials; the feeding mechanism further includes a second detection component arranged on the feeding structure to detect whether there are materials at the feeding structure and record the feeding quantity of the materials.

[0011] In one aspect, the second detection component can be signal / electrically connected with the driving member, so as to control the driving member to drive the transmission belt to move according to the detection result of the second detection component, until the material reaches the amount that can fill the outer surface of the transmission belt located on the side away from the bottom of the base, and then the driving member is automatically stopped, without manual control, thereby improving the production efficiency. In another aspect, the second detection component detects and records the feeding amount, and the first detection component detects and records the discharging amount, so that the feeding amount, the discharging amount and the amount of remaining material on the transmission belt can be compared to find out whether the material is missed in time, thereby further improving the problem that the material is easily missed or detected.

[0012] In at least one embodiment, the feeding structure includes a feeding plate and a temporary storage, and the feeding port is arranged on the feeding plate. The temporary storage is connected to the feeding plate, and the temporary storage has a temporary storage groove in communication with the feeding port for placing the material entering the temporary storage groove from the feeding port. The second detection component is installed on the temporary storage, and the side of the temporary storage facing the transmission belt is provided with a clearance slot for avoiding the separation component.

[0013] In the specific implementation process, one separation component moves into the clearance slot, and one material is placed into the temporary storage groove of the feeding structure. The separation component located in the clearance slot and the temporary storage groove jointly bear the material. When the second detection component detects the material at the feeding structure, the transmission belt drives the separation component to move until the material on the separation component is separated from the temporary storage groove. The second detection component records the material until the material reaches the amount that can fill the outer surface of the transmission belt located on the side away from the bottom of the base, and then the transmission belt stops moving. It can be seen that, through the arrangement of the temporary storage, the material can be temporarily stored to facilitate the second detection component to detect the feeding material.

[0014] In at least one embodiment, a preset plane is arranged in the middle of the width direction of the transmission belt, the preset plane is perpendicular to the transmission belt, and the first detection component and / or the second detection component is arranged on the preset plane.

[0015] By arranging the first detection component / second detection component on the preset plane in the middle of the width direction of the transmission belt, the detection range of the detection component is the same on both sides of the width range of the transmission belt, and the problem of poor detection effect caused by the detection component being biased to one side of the transmission belt can be improved.

[0016] In at least one embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a plurality of third detection components, and the third detection components are arranged on the temporary storage. Each separation component is provided with a detection piece, and the detection piece cooperates with the third detection component to detect whether the separation component moves into the clearance slot.

[0017] In the implementation process, the third detection component detects whether the separation component is in the giving-way slot and detects whether the separation component and the temporary storage recess temporary storage bearing surface are aligned, so as to realize that the separation component and the temporary storage recess jointly bear the materials; in the movement process of the transmission belt, the stepping motor rotates a step distance, drives the separation component to move a preset distance, and the third detection component can detect whether the separation component moves to the position; when the driving component of the feeding mechanism suddenly stops running, after the feeding mechanism resumes running, the third detection component can detect the separation component closest to it, and the driving component controls the transmission belt to move to the giving-way slot according to the detection result of the third detection component, so as to realize the resetting of the separation component.

[0018] In at least one embodiment, the base comprises a limiting plate, and the limiting plate is provided with two limiting plates, and the two limiting plates are respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the transmission belt, and the length of each limiting plate extends along the length direction of the transmission belt, so as to limit a plurality of separation components at the same time.

[0019] By arranging two limiting plates to limit the materials in the temporary storage area, the problem that the materials are separated from the transmission belt before being discharged can be improved, and the reliability of the feeding mechanism in use can be improved.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, each separation component is provided with an avoiding slot, and the avoiding slot is used for avoiding the first detection component.

[0021] By avoiding the first detection component through the avoiding slot, the first detection component and the separation component can be kept from contacting each other, so as to improve the problem of interference between the first detection component and the separation component, shorten the distance between the first detection component and the materials / separation components, and improve the detection accuracy of the first detection component.

[0022] In at least one embodiment, the driving component is a stepping motor, and the output shaft of the stepping motor is connected with a rotating body.

[0023] The stepping motor can realize rotation of a step distance and control discharge of one material, and by arranging the driving component as a stepping motor, the accuracy of the number of materials discharged can be improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] In the production process, temporary storage and distribution of materials are important. In the related art, materials are usually distributed by manual operation. Specifically, materials are temporarily stored on corresponding material racks, and distribution personnel find out the materials from the material racks according to a BOM (Bill of Materials) list and then hand over the materials to production personnel for production operation. The manual distribution of materials makes the production inefficient.

[0040] In order to improve production efficiency, a feeding mechanism is provided to convey materials in the related art. The transmission belt transmission mode is relatively stable, so the feeding mechanism generally conveys materials through the transmission belt transmission mode. At present, in the material conveying mode through the transmission belt, the materials are generally placed randomly on the transmission belt, and the materials on the transmission belt are placed in disorder. Such arrangement has the following disadvantages:

[0041] On the one hand, when discharging, the materials on the transmission belt can be directly moved to the discharge position through the movement of the transmission belt. However, the movement of the transmission belt can directly discharge multiple materials at the same time, or the corresponding materials can be clamped by the transfer mechanism to realize discharging. However, due to the disorderly distribution of the materials on the transmission belt, it is difficult for the transfer mechanism to move to the correct position where the materials can be clamped, and it is also possible to clamp excess materials, thereby making it difficult to control the discharging quantity of the feeding mechanism.

[0042] On the other hand, when the detection component detects the quantity of the feeding mechanism, it is easy to miss detection and mis-detection, thereby affecting the detection result of the detection component and making it difficult to control and record the discharging quantity of the materials.

[0043] Moreover, due to the difficulty of the feeding mechanism in the related art to control the discharging quantity of the materials, it is necessary for the workers to frequently check the discharging quantity of the materials, which wastes time and makes the production efficiency low.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, a feeding mechanism is provided, which comprises a driving assembly, a transmission belt and a first detection component. The outer surface of the transmission belt is provided with a plurality of separation components, and the plurality of separation components are arranged at intervals to form a plurality of temporary storage areas, each of which is used for placing materials. The driving assembly comprises a driving member and a plurality of rotating bodies, and the transmission belt is arranged around the plurality of rotating bodies. The driving member is connected with at least one rotating body to drive the rotating body to rotate, and the transmission belt is driven to move through the rotation of the rotating body, so that the plurality of separation components move to the discharge position in turn. The first detection component is located on one side of the transmission belt and is arranged towards the separation component located at the discharge position, so as to detect whether there is material on the separation component and record the discharging quantity of the materials.

[0045] The application can orderly put a plurality of materials into a plurality of temporary storage areas by arranging a plurality of separation components on the transmission belt, and one material is placed in one temporary storage area. When the material needs to be discharged, the driving member drives the transmission belt to move, so that the plurality of separation components can orderly move to the discharge position in turn, and the materials are discharged in turn. When the material is automatically discharged by the transmission belt, the material in one temporary storage area is discharged, and the materials in other temporary storage areas cannot be separated from the transmission belt due to the blocking of the corresponding separation components, thereby improving the control effect of the number of discharged materials. When the material is discharged by the transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism can clamp the material at the same position (discharge position) of the transmission belt during multiple operations of the rotating mechanism, thereby reducing the control difficulty of the rotating mechanism. The transfer mechanism can only clamp the material in the temporary storage area at the position due to the separation of the separation components, so that the transfer mechanism is not easy to clamp the material in other temporary storage areas, thereby improving the control effect of the number of discharged materials. In the production process, a preset number of materials are needed, and the first detection component can sequentially detect the materials of the separation components at the discharge position, thereby improving the false detection and missed detection of the detection component. When the first detection component detects that the discharged material meets the preset number during the movement of the transmission belt, the driving member is automatically stopped to work, thereby improving the control effect of the number of discharged materials, meeting the production requirements, and not needing manual control of the driving member to stop, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0046] Some embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features of the following embodiments and examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the application provides a feeding mechanism, which comprises a driving assembly 10 and a transmission belt 20.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the driving assembly 10 comprises a driving member 12 and a plurality of rotating bodies 11, the driving member 12 is connected with at least one rotating body 11 to drive the rotating body 11 to rotate, and the transmission belt 20 is arranged around the plurality of rotating bodies 11 to drive the transmission belt 20 to move by the rotation of the rotating bodies 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the driving member 12 is a stepper motor, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is connected with one rotating body 11. The stepper motor can realize one step rotation to control one material 100 to be discharged, thereby improving the accuracy of the number of discharged materials.

[0050] Specifically, the plurality of rotating bodies 11 include a driving rotating body 111 and a driven rotating body 112, the driving member 12 is connected with the driving rotating body 111 to drive the driving rotating body 111 to rotate around its axis, and the rotation of the driving rotating body 111 drives the transmission belt 20 and the driven rotating body 112 to move.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the driving rotating body 111 includes a driving transmission roller 1111 and a driving transmission gear 1112, the driving transmission roller 1111 and the driving transmission gear 1112 are connected, and the driving assembly 10 further includes a driving gear 13, the driving transmission gear 1112 and the driving member 12 are connected through the driving gear 13, and it can be understood that the driving transmission gear 1112 and the driving gear 13 are engaged to drive the driving gear 13 to rotate through the driving member 12, and drive the driving transmission gear 1112 and the driving transmission roller 1111 to rotate. Through the arrangement of the driving gear 13, the installation position of the driving member 12 can be changed, so that the structure between the driving member 12 and the transmission belt 20 is compact, and the volume of the feeding mechanism is reduced.

[0052] In some embodiments, the driven rotating body 112 is a driven transmission roller, and the transmission belt 20 is arranged around the driven transmission roller and the driving transmission roller 1111.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the outer surface of the transmission belt 20 is provided with a plurality of separation components 200, the plurality of separation components 200 are arranged at intervals to form a plurality of temporary storage areas 21, each temporary storage area 21 is used to place a material 100, and the plurality of separation components 200 are sequentially moved to the discharging position through the movement of the transmission belt 20, so that the plurality of separation components 200 can be sequentially discharged in order. When the material is automatically discharged by the transmission belt 20, one material 100 is placed in one temporary storage area 21, and the material 100 in one temporary storage area 21 is discharged, and the materials 100 in other temporary storage areas 21 cannot be separated from the transmission belt 20 due to the blocking of the corresponding separation components 200, thereby improving the control effect on the number of discharged materials 100; when the material 100 is discharged by the transfer mechanism, the material 100 can be clamped at the same position (discharging position) of the transmission belt 20 in the process of multiple operations of the rotating mechanism, thereby reducing the control difficulty of the rotating mechanism, and the transfer mechanism can only clamp the material 100 in the temporary storage area 21 at this position. Due to the separation effect of the separation components 200, the transfer mechanism is not easy to clamp the materials in other temporary storage areas 21, thereby improving the control effect on the number of discharged materials.

[0054] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism can be a mechanical arm; in other embodiments, the transfer mechanism can be an XYZ movement module.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a first detection component 30 located on one side of the transmission belt 20 and arranged towards the separation component 200 at the discharge position to detect whether there is material 100 on the separation component 200 and record the discharge quantity of the material 100. By arranging a plurality of separation components 200, the first detection component 30 can sequentially detect the separation components 200 at the discharge position, thereby improving the false detection and missed detection of the first detection component 30.

[0056] In addition, the first detection component 30 can be signal / electrically connected with the driving member 12, so that when the first detection component 30 detects that the discharged material meets the preset quantity during the movement of the transmission belt 20, the driving member is automatically controlled to stop working, thereby improving the control effect of the discharge quantity of the material 100, meeting the production demand, and eliminating the need for manual control of the driving member to stop, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first detection component 30 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor.

[0058] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a base 40, the first detection component 30 is installed on the base 40, the base 40 has a mounting space 400, the transmission belt 20 is arranged in the mounting space 400, when the transmission belt 20 drives the separation component 200 to move to a position towards the bottom of the base 40, the separation component 200 is arranged spaced apart from the bottom of the mounting space 400, so as to improve the problem of interference between the separation component 200 and the inner wall of the base 40 when the separation component 200 moves to the position towards the bottom of the base 40.

[0059] In some embodiments, the transmission belt 20 is arranged in a ring structure after being wound around a plurality of rotating bodies 11, and a plurality of separation components 200 are arranged spaced apart along the circumference of the ring structure and uniformly distributed in the ring structure.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the separation component 200 at the discharge position is arranged inclined towards the bottom of the base 40, so as to realize the downward inclination of the separation component 200, so that the material 100 is separated from the temporary storage area 21 under the action of its own weight, and realizes the automatic discharge of the material 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the partition component 200 is in the discharging position, the partition component 200 is located at one end of the length direction of the transmission belt 20.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first detection component 30 is installed at the bottom of the base 40, and the first detection component 30 is arranged towards the partition component 200 in the discharging position. Since the partition component 200 is inclined downward, by arranging the first detection component 30 at the bottom of the base 40, the distance between the first detection component 30 and the partition component 200 in the discharging position can be shortened, and the detection accuracy of the first detection component 30 can be improved.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 40 comprises a feeding structure 41, and the feeding structure 41 has a feeding port 410 in communication with the installation space 400 for feeding the material 100. The feeding mechanism further comprises a second detection component 50 arranged at the feeding structure 41 to detect whether there is material 100 at the feeding structure 41 and record the feeding amount of the material 100.

[0064] On the one hand, the second detection component 50 can be signal / electrically connected with the driving member 12 to control the driving member 12 to drive the transmission belt 20 to move according to the detection result of the second detection component 50 until the material 100 reaches the amount that can fill the outer surface of the transmission belt 20 located at the side away from the bottom of the base 40, and then control the driving member 12 to automatically stop working, without manually controlling the driving member 12 to stop, thereby improving the production efficiency. On the other hand, the second detection component 50 detects and records the feeding amount, and the first detection component 30 detects and records the discharging amount, so that by comparing the feeding amount, the discharging amount, and the amount of the remaining material 100 on the transmission belt 20, it can be found in time whether the material 100 is missed, and the problem that the material 100 is easily misdetected or missed is further improved.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second detection component 50 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor.

[0066] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the feeding structure 41 comprises a feeding plate 411 and a temporary storage component 412, the feeding port 410 is arranged at the feeding plate 411, and the temporary storage component 412 is connected to the feeding plate 411. The temporary storage component 412 has a temporary storage groove 4120 in communication with the feeding port 410 for placing the material 100 entering the temporary storage groove 4120 from the feeding port 410. The second detection component 50 is installed at the temporary storage component 412, and the temporary storage component 412 is provided with a clearance groove 4121 at the side facing the transmission belt 20 for avoiding the partition component 200.

[0067] In the implementation process, one separation component 200 moves into the accommodation slot 4121, and one material 100 is placed into the temporary storage groove 4120 of the feeding structure 41. The separation component 200 in the accommodation slot 4121 and the temporary storage groove 4120 jointly bear the materials 100. When the second detection component 50 detects that there are materials 100 at the feeding structure 41, the transmission belt 20 drives the separation component 200 to move until the materials 100 on the separation component 200 are separated from the temporary storage groove 4120. The second detection component 50 records the materials 100 until the materials 100 reach the number that can occupy the outer surface of the transmission belt 20 on the side facing away from the bottom of the base 40. The transmission belt 20 stops moving. It can be seen that, through the arrangement of the temporary storage member 412, the materials 100 can be temporarily stored, so that the second detection component 50 can detect the feeding materials 100.

[0068] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a preset plane is arranged in the middle of the width direction of the transmission belt 20, and the first detection component 30 and / or the second detection component 50 are arranged on the preset plane. The transmission belt 20 has a bearing surface for bearing materials, and the vertical direction of the transmission belt 20 refers to the vertical direction of the bearing surface of the transmission belt 20.

[0069] By arranging the first detection component 30 / second detection component 50 on the preset plane in the middle of the width direction of the transmission belt 20, the detection range of the detection component is the same on both sides of the width range of the transmission belt 20, which can improve the problem of poor detection effect caused by the detection component being biased to one side of the transmission belt 20.

[0070] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism includes a plurality of third detection components 60, and the third detection components 60 are arranged on the temporary storage member 412. Each separation component 200 is provided with a detection piece 202, and the detection piece 202 cooperates with the third detection component 60 to detect whether the separation component 200 moves into the accommodation slot 4121.

[0071] It can be understood that the temporary storage groove 4120 has a temporary storage bearing surface for bearing the materials 100. In a specific implementation process, the third detection component 60 detects whether the separation component 200 is located in the position-giving groove 4121 and detects whether the separation component 200 and the temporary storage bearing surface of the temporary storage groove 4120 of the temporary storage piece 412 are aligned, so as to realize that the separation component 200 and the temporary storage groove 4120 jointly bear the materials 100. During the movement of the transmission belt 20, the stepping motor rotates one step distance, drives the separation component 200 to move a preset distance, and the third detection component 60 can detect whether the separation component 200 moves to the position. When the driving piece 12 of the feeding mechanism suddenly stops running, after the feeding mechanism resumes running, the third detection component 60 can detect the separation component 200 closest to it, and the driving piece 12 controls the transmission belt 20 to move to the position-giving groove 4121 according to the detection result of the third detection component 60, so as to realize the reset of the separation component 200.

[0072] Specifically, the third detection component 60 and the second detection component 50 are arranged at intervals.

[0073] In some embodiments, the third detection component 60 is a slot photoelectric sensor, which is provided with an emitting part, a receiving part and a detection slot. The emitting part and the receiving part of the slot photoelectric sensor are arranged in the opposite slot inner walls of the detection slot. When the detection sheet 202 is located in the detection slot, the detection sheet shields the light between the emitting part and the receiving part, so as to judge whether the separation component 200 moves to the position-giving groove 4121.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the third detection component 60 is a distance sensor, which detects the distance between the temporary storage piece 412 and the detection sheet 202 through a proximity switch, and judges whether the separation component 200 is located in the position-giving groove 4121 according to the distance.

[0075] Optionally, the third detection component 60 can be a proximity switch, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.

[0076] It can be understood that when the separation component 200 is provided with the detection sheet 202, the detection sheet 202 of the separation component 200 is arranged at intervals with the bottom of the mounting space 400 when the transmission belt 20 drives the separation component 200 to move to the position towards the bottom of the base 40.

[0077] Specifically, the feeding mechanism includes a control assembly (not shown in the figure), which is signal connected / electrically connected with the first detection component 30, the second detection component 50, the third detection component 60 and the driving piece 12, so as to integrate the detection results of the first detection component 30, the second detection component 50 and the third detection component 60 through the control assembly, and control the running state of the driving piece 12 according to the detection results.

[0078] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 40 comprises a limiting plate 42, and two limiting plates 42 are arranged on both sides of the width direction of the transmission belt 20, and the length of each limiting plate 42 extends along the length direction of the transmission belt 20 to simultaneously limit a plurality of separation components 200. By arranging two limiting plates 42 to limit the material 100 in the temporary storage area 21, the problem of the material 100 being separated from the transmission belt 20 before being discharged can be improved, and the reliability of the feeding mechanism can be improved.

[0079] In some embodiments, the separation component 200 can be a rod-shaped structure.

[0080] In some embodiments, the separation component 200 is a separation plate or a separation sheet.
