[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The feeding mechanism 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described. The feeding mechanism 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a driving assembly 11 and a material carrying assembly 12. The material carrying assembly 12 includes a material carrying frame 121 for carrying a material box 20. The material carrying frame 121 is drivingly connected with the driving assembly 11. The driving assembly 11 can drive the material carrying frame 121 to move, so as to carry the material box 20 to move. The material carrying assembly 12 further includes a driving member 122 arranged on the material carrying frame 121. The material carrying assembly 12 further includes two clamping members 123 movably arranged on the material carrying frame 121. The driving member 122 can drive the two clamping members 123 to move towards or away from each other. The direction in which the two clamping members 123 move towards or away from each other is defined as a first direction, denoted as X. The material box is provided with two clamping grooves 21 arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other along the first direction. When the material box is placed on the material carrying frame 121, the driving member 122 drives the two clamping members 123 to move towards or away from each other along the first direction, so as to enable each clamping member 123 to be clamped with a clamping groove 21, thereby connecting the material box with the material carrying frame 121.

[0032] The feeding mechanism 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is used to carry the material box 20 and position and fix the material box, and the driving assembly 11 is used to drive the feeding assembly 12 to move, so as to realize the movement of the material box 20 to a required position.

[0033] Further, in the feeding assembly 12 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the feeding rack 121 is used to carry the placed material box, and the two clamping pieces 123 are drivingly connected with the driving piece 122 and arranged on the feeding rack 121. The two clamping pieces 123 can move towards or away from each other along the first direction under the driving action of the driving piece 122, so as to realize one-to-one clamping with the two clamping grooves 21 arranged on the material box, thereby achieving the effect of positioning and fixing the material box on the feeding rack 121. The driving assembly 11 drives the feeding rack 121 to move, so that the driving piece 122, the two clamping pieces 123 and the material box fixedly connected with them move synchronously with the feeding rack 121.

[0034] When the driving piece 122 drives the two clamping pieces 123 to move away from each other along the first direction to realize the clamping with the two clamping grooves 21 of the material box, the two clamping pieces 123 move towards each other along the first direction to realize the disengagement with the two clamping grooves 21 of the material box. Conversely, when the driving piece 122 drives the two clamping pieces 123 to move towards each other along the first direction to realize the clamping with the two clamping grooves 21 of the material box, the two clamping pieces 123 move away from each other along the first direction to realize the disengagement with the two clamping grooves 21 of the material box.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, in the embodiments of the present application, the two clamping grooves 21 of the material box are arranged in a relative and spaced manner along the first direction. The spaced arrangement of the two clamping grooves 21 helps to reserve space for the movement of the two clamping pieces 123 and avoids the interference between the material box and the feeding rack 121. When the two clamping pieces 123 are one-to-one clamped with the two clamping grooves 21, the symmetrical arrangement of the two clamping grooves 21 can provide a relatively symmetrical force to the material box, which can effectively prevent the material box from deviating or deflecting due to the unsymmetrical force during the positioning and fixing process, improve the cooperation precision of the material box and the feeding rack 121, and further improve the discharging precision of the workpieces in the material box.

[0036] It should be noted that the driving assembly 11 in the embodiments of the present application can be any driving arrangement that can meet the requirement of driving the feeding assembly 12 to carry the material box 20 to realize the required movement, for example, it can be a driving motor, a driving cylinder or a driving module, etc. with driving performance. Taking the driving module as an example, the feeding rack 121 is connected with the driving end of the driving module, so that the feeding rack 121 can be provided with driving action and structure mounting position.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 andFigure 5 Further, the carrier assembly 12 in the above embodiment can further include a pushing piece 124, and the driving piece 122 is in driving connection with the pushing piece 124, and the driving piece 122 can drive the pushing piece 124 to move and push the two clamping pieces 123 to move towards or away from each other in the first direction.

[0038] It can be understood that the driving piece 122 in the embodiment of the application first drives the pushing piece 124 to move, and then the pushing piece 124 acts on the clamping piece 123. Compared with the driving piece 122 directly driving the clamping piece 123, there is an intermediate transmission link of the pushing piece 124, which can buffer the driving force of the driving piece 122 and protect the structure of the clamping piece 123. The pushing piece 124 can be provided with a larger contact area in contact with the clamping piece 123 during movement, so as to avoid the clamping piece 123 from being jammed or damaged due to uneven local stress, so as to realize more stable and reliable movement of the clamping piece 123, improve the stability of the clamping piece 123 and the clamping groove 21 in clamping and separation, and reduce the probability of failure.

[0039] The driving piece 122 can be an electric push rod or a gas cylinder, and the pushing piece 124 can be a wedge-shaped block. The output end of the electric push rod or the gas cylinder is connected with the wedge-shaped block, and the wedge-shaped block is driven to move by the extension and retraction of the electric push rod or the gas cylinder, so as to push the clamping piece 123.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Specifically, the pushing piece 124 in the above embodiment is provided with a first inclined surface 1241 inclined to the first direction, and the clamping piece 123 is provided with a second inclined surface 1231 parallel to the first inclined surface 1241; the driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to move to the first inclined surface 1241 and the second inclined surface 1231 abutting, and then continues to drive the pushing piece 124 to move, so as to push the clamping piece 123 to move in the first direction.

[0041] When the pushing piece 124 moves under the action of the driving piece 122, the first inclined surface 1241 of the pushing piece 124 abuts with the second inclined surface 1231 of the clamping piece 123, and according to the force decomposition principle of the inclined surface, when the pushing piece 124 continues to move, the pushing force will be decomposed into a component force in the first direction, which acts on the clamping piece 123 and pushes the clamping piece 123 to move in the first direction. This transmission through the inclined surface cleverly converts the linear motion of the pushing piece 124 into the motion required by the clamping piece 123, without the need for complex transmission mechanisms such as connecting rods or gears, which simplifies the driving structure, reduces energy loss, makes the driving of the clamping piece 123 more smooth, and further improves the operation efficiency of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0042] It should be noted that the angle of the inclined surface of the pushing piece 124 and the clamping piece 123 can be designed according to actual needs, and is generally suitable between 0°-90° (not including the end value), and the moving speed and force of the clamping piece 123 are controlled by adjusting the angle of the inclined surface.

[0043] It can be understood that the reciprocating movement of each clamping piece 123 in the first direction can be driven by the driving piece 122 cooperating with the pushing piece 124, for example, one end of the movement of each clamping piece 123 in the first direction is driven by one driving piece 122 cooperating with one pushing piece 124, and the other end of the movement of the clamping piece 123 in the first direction is driven by another driving piece 122 cooperating with another pushing piece 124. Of course, one driving piece 122 can also cooperate with one pushing piece 124 to simultaneously push two clamping pieces 123 to achieve synchronous driving of the two clamping pieces 123 to move closer to or away from each other in the first direction.

[0044] Taking the synchronous driving of the two clamping pieces 123 to move away from each other in the first direction as an example, the two clamping pieces 123 are arranged apart in the first direction, and the pushing piece 124 pushes the two clamping pieces 123 in the first direction. When the pushing piece 124 moves between the two clamping pieces 123 in the first direction, and the first inclined surface 1241 of the pushing piece 124 simultaneously or respectively abuts the second inclined surface 1231 of the two clamping pieces 123, of course, the pushing piece 124 is provided with a parallel first inclined surface 1241 corresponding to the second inclined surface 1231 of the two clamping pieces 123, and then the pushing piece 124 moves under the action of the driving piece 122 to simultaneously or successively push the two clamping pieces 123 to move away from each other in the first direction.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, when the magazine of the above-mentioned embodiment is placed on the loading rack 121, the clamping piece 123 is taken as an example located between the two clamping grooves 21 in the first direction, the driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to push the two clamping pieces 123 to move away from each other in the first direction, so that each clamping piece 123 is clamped with a clamping groove 21; the loading assembly 12 can further include an elastic restoring piece 125, the elastic restoring piece 125 is connected to the two clamping pieces 123 and has a pulling force on the two clamping pieces 123 in the first direction; as the driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to move away from the clamping piece 123, the elastic restoring piece 125 gradually pulls the two clamping pieces 123 close in the first direction, so that the clamping piece 123 is disengaged from the corresponding clamping groove 21.

[0046] When loading the material box 20, the driving member 122 drives the pushing member 124 to push the clamping members 123 away from each other, and the clamping members 123 are clamped into the clamping grooves 21 of the material box 20 against the pulling force of the elastic restoring members 125, thereby realizing automatic connection. When unloading the material box 20, the driving member 122 drives the pushing member 124 to move away from the clamping members 123, and at this time, the pulling force of the elastic restoring members 125 becomes dominant to pull the clamping members 123 back to be close to each other, so that the clamping members 123 are pulled out of the clamping grooves 21, thereby completing automatic separation. The entire process does not need manual plugging and unplugging of the clamping members 123, greatly reducing the manual operation link, improving the efficiency of loading and unloading the material box, and further improving the automation degree of the equipment.

[0047] The elastic restoring member 125 can be a tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are connected to the two clamping members 123, respectively. When the driving member 122 drives the pushing member 124 to move away from the clamping members 123, the elastic force of the tension spring causes the clamping members 123 to move close to each other, thereby realizing disconnection of the clamping members 123 and the clamping grooves 21.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the material loading rack 121 in the above embodiment includes a support part 1211, the support part 1211 is drivingly connected with the driving assembly 11, the support part 1211 can carry the material box 20, and the driving assembly 11 can drive the support part 1211 to carry the material box 20 to move; the material loading rack 121 can further include a mounting part 1212, the mounting part 1212 is connected with the support part 1211, and the driving member 122 is arranged on the mounting part 1212; the two clamping members 123 are arranged on the support part 1211 or the mounting part 1212 and can move close to or away from each other along the first direction, and the driving member 122 can drive the pushing member 124 to move and push the two clamping members 123 to move away from each other along the first direction.

[0049] The material loading rack 121 is divided into the support part 1211 and the mounting part 1212, the support part 1211 is mainly responsible for carrying the material box 20 and moving under the action of the driving assembly 11, and the mounting part 1212 is used for mounting the driving member 122 and other key components. This structure design makes the mounting positions of various components clear, facilitating installation and disassembly. Meanwhile, the connection of the mounting part 1212 and the support part 1211 enhances the structural strength of the entire material loading rack 121, so that the material loading rack 121 is more stable during carrying the material box 20 and moving. The stable structure can reduce vibration and wear of various components during operation, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment. The two clamping members 123 can be arranged on the support part 1211 or the mounting part 1212, as long as they can fix the material box 20 arranged on the support part 1211.

[0050] The support part 1211 can be a flat plate structure, the mounting part 1212 can be a mounting plate 12121 connected to the lower side of the support part 1211 by bolts, the clamping pieces 123 can be installed on the support part 1211 or the mounting part 1212 by a guide rail sliding block mechanism, or other movable arrangement, to achieve movable connection.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the mounting part 1212 of the above embodiment can include a mounting plate 12121 and a connecting column 12122, the mounting plate 12121 is arranged vertically below the support part 1211, the vertical direction is denoted as Y, the connecting column 12122 is arranged vertically and connected to the mounting plate 12121 and the support part 1211, and the driving piece 122 is arranged on the mounting plate 12121; the material carrier 121 further includes a moving seat 1213, which is arranged between the mounting plate 12121 and the support part 1211 in the vertical direction and is movably connected to the connecting column 12122, and the two clamping pieces 123 are arranged on the moving seat 1213 and are movable in the first direction to approach or move away from each other, and the first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction; the first inclined surface 1241 of the pushing piece 124 is also inclined to the vertical direction, when the driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to move vertically upward to the point where the first inclined surface 1241 and the second inclined surface 1231 are in contact, with the continuous movement of the driving piece 122, the moving seat 1213 and the clamping pieces 123 can be synchronously moved vertically upward; the support part 1211 is provided with a through hole 12111 in the vertical direction, and the upper surface of the support part 1211 can carry the material box 20, and the two clamping pieces 123 can pass through the through hole 12111 in the vertical direction.

[0052] The driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to move vertically upward, and after the pushing piece 124 is in contact with the second inclined surface 1231 of the clamping piece 123 through the inclined first inclined surface 1241, not only the clamping piece 123 is driven to move in the first direction, but also the moving seat 1213 and the clamping piece 123 are driven to move vertically upward. This compound motion enables the clamping piece 123 to more accurately butt joint with the clamping groove 21 of the material box. When the clamping piece 123 passes out of the through hole 12111 of the support part 1211, its position in the vertical direction and the first direction has been accurately adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the clamping piece 123 and the clamping groove 21, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the material box and the material carrier 121. At the same time, when the driving piece 122 drives the pushing piece 124 to move away from the clamping piece 123, the moving seat 1213 automatically descends under the action of gravity, and the clamping piece 123 descends from the through hole 12111 of the support part 1211 to below the upper surface of the support part 1211, so that the clamping piece 123 is separated from the clamping groove 21 and hidden below the upper surface of the support part 1211, avoiding interference with the feeding and discharging of the material box 20.

[0053] The moving seat 1213 can be connected with the connecting column 12122 through a linear bearing to realize smooth movement in the vertical direction. The first inclined surface 1241 of the pushing piece 124 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and is generally between 0°-90° (not including the end value).

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 Further, the pushing piece 124 in the above embodiment is movable connected with the connecting column 12122 in the vertical direction.

[0055] The pushing piece 124 is movable connected with the connecting column 12122 in the vertical direction, and the connecting column 12122 provides a stable guiding effect for the pushing piece 124. During the movement of the pushing piece 124 driven by the driving piece 122, the connecting column 12122 can limit the movement track of the pushing piece 124, so that it can only move in the vertical direction, avoiding the deviation of the pushing piece 124 in the movement process due to uneven force or other factors. Only when the pushing piece 124 moves stably in the vertical direction, can it accurately act on the clamping piece 123 through the inclined surface, realize accurate pushing of the clamping piece 123, and improve the working accuracy of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0056] The pushing piece 124 can be connected with the connecting column 12122 through a guide sleeve, and the inner hole of the guide sleeve is matched with the outer diameter of the connecting column 12122 to realize stable movement of the pushing piece 124 in the vertical direction.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the loading rack 121 in the above embodiment can further include a supporting seat 1214, which is movable connected with the connecting column 12122 in the vertical direction and located between the moving seat 1213 and the mounting plate 12121. The pushing piece 124 is arranged on the supporting seat 1214, and the driving piece 122 is drivingly connected with the supporting seat 1214. The driving piece 122 can drive the supporting seat 1214 and the pushing piece 124 to move synchronously in the vertical direction. The loading assembly 12 further includes an elastic supporting piece 126, which is elastically connected with the supporting seat 1214 and the moving seat 1213 in the vertical direction. When the moving seat 1213 is in a free state supported only by the elastic supporting piece 126, the pushing piece 124 has a spacing with the clamping piece 123.

[0058] The presence of the elastic support 126 makes the moving seat 1213 be able to float elastically to a certain extent. When the driving member 122 drives the support seat 1214 and the pushing member 124 to move upward, the pushing member 124 first contacts and pushes the clamping member 123, and in this process, the elastic support 126 can buffer the impact force of the pushing member 124 on the clamping member 123, so as to avoid the wear of the clamping member 123 and the pushing member 124 caused by the too large instantaneous impact force. At the same time, when the pushing member 124 moves away from the clamping member 123, the elastic support 126 makes the moving seat 1213 return to the free state, keeps the interval between the pushing member 124 and the clamping member 123, and prepares for the next action. This flexible cooperation mode reduces the frequent hard contact and friction between the clamping member 123 and the pushing member 124, thereby improving the service life of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0059] Wherein, the elastic support 126 can be a compression spring, sleeved on the connecting column 12122, and in contact with the support seat 1214 and the moving seat 1213 at both ends. The driving member 122 can be a cam mechanism driven by a motor, which drives the support seat 1214 and the pushing member 124 to move along the vertical direction through the rotation of the cam.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, the clamping action end of the clamping member 123 in any of the above embodiments can be provided with a third inclined surface 1232 inclined to the vertical direction and the first direction, the clamping groove 21 of the material box is provided with a fourth inclined surface 211 parallel to the third inclined surface 1232, and the driving member 122 can drive the two clamping members 123 to move along the first direction to the third inclined surface 1232 of the clamping member 123 and the fourth inclined surface 211 of the corresponding clamping groove 21 abutting, and relatively slide along the inclined direction of the third inclined surface 1232 to make the clamping member 123 and the clamping groove 21 clamped.

[0061] When the clamping member 123 moves along the first direction, the third inclined surface 1232 thereof abuts with the fourth inclined surface 211 of the clamping groove 21, and in the process of continuing to move, the clamping member 123 relatively slides along the inclined direction of the third inclined surface 1232 into the clamping groove 21. This clamping mode of the inclined surface cooperation, after the clamping member 123 enters the clamping groove 21, the wall of the clamping groove 21 generates a extrusion force on the clamping member 123 along the reverse direction of the inclined surface, and this extrusion force makes the friction force between the clamping member 123 and the clamping groove 21 increase, thereby preventing the clamping member 123 from loosening in the clamping groove 21. The more firm connection ensures that the material box will not displace during transportation and processing, and ensures the stability of the workpiece unloading process in the material box.

[0062] Wherein, the inclination angles of the third inclined surface 1232 and the fourth inclined surface 211 can be designed according to the material and size of the material box and the clamping member 123, etc., and generally between 0°-90° (not including the end value).

[0063] The embodiment of the present application further provides a processing device (not shown in the figure), comprising a processing mechanism (not shown in the figure), a blanking mechanism (not shown in the figure) and the feeding mechanism 10 in any of the above embodiments. The blanking mechanism (not shown in the figure) can take out the workpiece in the magazine carried by the feeding mechanism 10 and place it on the processing station of the processing mechanism (not shown in the figure).

[0064] The processing device (not shown in the figure) of the embodiment of the present application comprises the feeding mechanism 10 in any of the above embodiments, so has the beneficial effects brought by the feeding mechanism 10 in any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0065] The feeding mechanism 10 automatically carries the magazine 20 and transports it to a designated position, and the blanking mechanism (not shown in the figure) automatically takes out the workpiece from the magazine and places it on the processing station of the processing mechanism (not shown in the figure). The whole process forms an automatic processing flow, without the need for frequent manual carrying and feeding and discharging, reducing manual intervention. The automatic flow can ensure the consistency and accuracy of the processing process, improve product quality, improve production efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and make the enterprise more competitive in market competition.

[0066] The blanking mechanism (not shown in the figure) can adopt a mechanical arm, which realizes the grabbing and placing of the workpiece by programming the action of the mechanical arm. The processing mechanism (not shown in the figure) can be selected according to different processing processes, such as a punch press, an injection molding machine, etc.

[0067] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
