[0002] In the automated production process, buffer feeding mechanism is generally set in the feeding end of equipment to buffer and feed material. Buffer feeding mechanism generally includes buffer module and feeding module, single buffer track is generally set on buffer module, and the discharge end of buffer track is provided with a blocking component to control the outflow of material. The feeding module is generally a feeding track that connects the buffer track and the subsequent processing track.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a buffer feeding mechanism, which includes a buffer module 1 and a feeding module 2.

[0038] The buffer module 1 includes a support frame 102 and at least two buffer tracks 101 arranged along the X-axis direction on the support frame 102, and the buffer tracks 101 convey materials along the Y-axis direction.

[0039] The feeding module 2 includes a feeding track 201 and a first X-axis linear module 103. The feeding track 201 is connected to the first X-axis linear module 103. The first X-axis linear module 103 is used to drive the feeding track 201 to move along the X-axis direction to connect with the discharge end of the buffer track 101.

[0040] A blocking component 104 is installed on the support frame 102 at a position corresponding to the discharge end of the buffer track 101. The blocking component 104 is used to prevent material from flowing out from the discharge end of the buffer track 101.

[0041] In the buffer feeding mechanism of this embodiment, the feeding track 201 can be connected to the discharge end of multiple buffer tracks 101 under the drive of the first X-axis linear module 103. After the feeding track 201 completes the conveying of the previous material, it can be driven to move to another buffer track 101 to pick up the material, thereby realizing seamless material receiving and feeding operations, avoiding waiting for material receiving and wasting time, and effectively improving feeding efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, the blocking component 104 in this embodiment includes a driving member 1041 and a baffle 1042 connected to the driving member 1041.

[0043] The drive unit 1041 is used to drive the baffle 1042 to move up and down along the Z-axis to block the material from flowing out of the buffer track 101.

[0044] It should be noted that the driving component 1041 in this embodiment can be a cylinder or other linear driving component 1041, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0045] Furthermore, the cache module 1 in this embodiment also includes a second X-axis linear module;

[0046] The second X-axis linear module is connected to the support frame 102, and the second X-axis linear module is used to drive the support frame 102 to move along the X-axis direction.

These multiple rollers can be driven by a stepper motor or a servo motor to rotate around their own axis, thereby conveying materials.

[0050] Furthermore, the buffer module in this embodiment also includes a first adjustment component 105;

[0051] The first adjustment component 105 includes a third X-axis linear module 1051, a first linkage plate 1052, and a plurality of first connecting plates 1053.

The number of second connecting plates 1063 is the same as the number of buffer tracks 101. The second linkage plate 1062 is connected to the fourth X-axis linear module 1061. One end of the second connecting plate 1063 is connected to the second side plate 1012, and the second end of the second connecting plate 1063 is connected to the second linkage plate 1062. The fourth X-axis linear module 1061 is used to drive the second linkage plate 1062 to move along the X-axis direction to drive the second side plate 1012 away from or closer to the first side plate 1011.

[0054] It should be noted that, through the above design, both the first side plate 1011 and the second side plate 1012 can be driven to move in the X-axis direction, thereby adjusting the width of the buffer track 101, so that the buffer track 101 can be used for materials of different sizes and specifications.

[0055] Furthermore, the feeding track 201 in this embodiment includes a third side plate and a fourth side plate arranged opposite to each other;

[0056] Both the third and fourth side plates are equipped with conveyor belts, and the two conveyor belts work together to transport materials.

[0057] It should be noted that the conveyor belt in this embodiment generally includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a belt connecting the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0059] The third adjustment component includes a fifth X-axis linear module, which is connected to the third side plate. The fifth X-axis linear module is used to drive the third side plate to move along the X-axis direction to move the third side plate away from or closer to the fourth side plate.

[0060] Alternatively, the fifth X-axis linear module is connected to the fourth side plate, and the fifth X-axis linear module is used to drive the fourth side plate to move along the X-axis direction to drive the fourth side plate away from or closer to the third side plate.

[0061] It should be noted that, through the above design, the third or fourth side plate can be driven to move in the X-axis direction, thereby moving closer to or further away from the fourth or third side plate, thereby adjusting the width of the feeding track 201 so that the feeding track 201 can be adapted to materials of different sizes and specifications.

[0062] Furthermore, to prevent material from being spilled and damaged by the baffle 1042, the baffle 1042 in this embodiment is covered with a soft rubber layer.

[0063] Specifically, the aforementioned soft adhesive layer can be either a silicone layer or a soft adhesive layer.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the feed end of the buffer track 101 is connected to a guide component 107;

[0065] The guiding assembly 107 includes a first guiding plate 1071 and a second guiding plate 1072. The first guiding plate 1071 is connected to the feeding side of the first side plate 1011 and is inclined to the outside of the first side plate 1011. The second guiding plate 1072 is connected to the feeding side of the second side plate 1012 and is inclined to the outside of the second side plate 1012.

[0066] It should be noted that, through the above design, the guide component 107 can guide the material into the buffer track 101, avoiding collision between the material and the side plate of the buffer track 101 during the process of entering the buffer track 101.

[0067] Furthermore, the X-axis linear modules involved in this embodiment can all be linear modules with motor and lead screw drive or motor and belt drive, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0068] The above provides a detailed description of a buffer feeding component provided by this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
