Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, in particular to a feeding mechanism and processing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an automated production line, a feeding mechanism is usually arranged to realize automatic feeding of materials and improve production efficiency. However, the existing feeding mechanism is either single-station feeding with low feeding efficiency, or double-station side-by-side feeding with large space occupation. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a feeding mechanism and processing equipment which can realize double-station feeding, improve production efficiency, reduce the space occupation of the feeding mechanism, and improve space utilization.

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises a base, a first jig, a second jig, and a driving assembly. The base is provided with a sliding space. In the sliding space, the first jig and the second jig are movably installed on the base and are configured to carry materials. A first direction is defined as the direction of carrying materials, and the first jig and the second jig are spaced apart along the first direction. In the first direction, the movement path of the first jig at least partially overlaps the movement path of the second jig. The driving assembly is installed on the base and located outside the sliding space. The driving assembly is in transmission connection with the first jig and the second jig, and is configured to drive the first jig and the second jig to alternately reciprocate along a second direction to alternately transport materials, and the second direction intersects the first direction.

[0005] In the feeding mechanism described above, the first jig and the second jig are both installed inside the sliding space and spaced apart along the first direction. The driving assembly is installed outside the sliding space and can drive the first jig and the second jig to alternately reciprocate along the second direction to alternately transport materials. Compared with the existing feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism provided by the present application not only realizes continuous and alternating automatic feeding and improves the production efficiency of the processing equipment, but also reduces the space occupation of the feeding mechanism in the second direction and improves the space utilization. In addition, since the driving assembly is arranged outside the sliding space, it does not interfere with the movement of the first jig and the second jig, which helps to ensure the stable operation of the feeding mechanism.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the movement path of the first jig completely overlaps the movement path of the second jig. By arranging the movement path of the first jig to completely overlap the movement path of the second jig, the space occupation of the first jig and the second jig in the second direction can be further reduced, so that the overall structure of the feeding mechanism is more compact.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the base is provided with a material taking station and a material placing station, and the material taking station and the material placing station are distributed along the second direction. One of the first jig and the second jig is located at the material taking station, and the other of the first jig and the second jig is located at the material placing station. The driving assembly is configured to drive the first jig to move to the material taking station or the material placing station, and to drive the second jig to move to the material taking station or the material placing station.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving assembly comprises a first driving member and a synchronous belt, and the first driving member and the synchronous belt are both mounted on the base, and the first driving member is in transmission connection with the first jig and the second jig through the synchronous belt.

[0009] Through the cooperation of the first driving member and the synchronous belt, the synchronous reverse movement of the first jig and the second jig can be simultaneously driven by a single driving member, which is beneficial to reduce the number of driving members and reduce the production cost. Specifically, when the first driving member drives the synchronous belt to move, the synchronous belt can drive the first jig and the second jig to move in opposite directions synchronously, that is, to realize the alternating reciprocating movement between the first jig and the second jig.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the first driving member and the synchronous belt are located on both sides of the base. The first driving member is a rodless cylinder, the output end of the rodless cylinder is fixedly connected with the first jig, and the first jig is in transmission connection with the second jig through the synchronous belt. The rodless cylinder drives the movement of the first jig at the same time, and the movement of the second jig is also driven, which effectively and reasonably distributes the production rhythm and improves the running efficiency of the whole feeding mechanism.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving assembly comprises a second driving member and a third driving member, the second driving member is in transmission connection with one of the first jig and the second jig, and the third driving member is in transmission connection with the other of the first jig and the second jig.

[0012] The second driving member independently drives one of the first jig and the second jig to reciprocate along the second direction, the third driving member independently drives the other of the first jig and the second jig to reciprocate along the second direction, and the first jig and the second jig alternately move. Through the arrangement of the second driving member and the third driving member, the independent operation of the first jig and the second jig can be realized, which is beneficial to improve the flexibility of the feeding mechanism. When one of the first jig and the second jig fails, the other can still continue to transport materials, and the problem of shutdown does not occur.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the feeding mechanism further comprises a first guiding assembly and a second guiding assembly. The first guiding assembly comprises a first linear guide and a first sliding block. The first linear guide is mounted on the base along the second direction. The first sliding block is fixedly mounted on the first jig. The first sliding block is configured to slide along the first linear guide when the first jig moves relative to the base. The second guiding assembly comprises a second linear guide and a second sliding block. The second linear guide is mounted on the base along the second direction. The second sliding block is fixedly mounted on the second jig. The second sliding block is configured to slide along the second linear guide when the second jig moves relative to the base.

[0014] By arranging the first guiding assembly and the second guiding assembly, the freedom of the first jig and the second jig in other directions can be limited, so as to ensure the linearity and stability of the movement paths of the first jig and the second jig, thereby reducing the risk of deviation of the first jig and the second jig and improving the feeding accuracy of the feeding mechanism.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the feeding mechanism further comprises a first positioning assembly and a second positioning assembly. The first positioning assembly is mounted on the first jig. The second positioning assembly is mounted on the second jig. Both the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly are configured to position the material.

[0016] By arranging the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly, the placement and fixation of the material can be facilitated, the time for repeatedly adjusting the material can be reduced, the production rhythm can be accelerated, and thus the production efficiency of the processing equipment can be improved. In addition, the position accuracy of the material on the jigs (specifically, the first jig and the second jig) can be ensured, the loading error of the material can be reduced, and the product quality can be improved.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the feeding mechanism further comprises a protective cover. The protective cover is mounted on the base and covers the driving assembly.

[0018] By arranging the protective cover, the operator can be prevented from contacting the moving parts, the risk of accidents such as pinching and collision can be reduced, the safety of the working environment can be ensured, foreign matters such as dust, debris and liquid can be blocked from entering the driving assembly, the damage or failure of the equipment can be avoided, and the service life can be prolonged. In addition, the protective cover can also make the feeding mechanism more tidy in appearance, hide the complex internal structure, and improve the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0019] An embodiment of the present application provides a processing equipment. The processing equipment comprises a transfer mechanism and a feeding mechanism as described in any one of the above embodiments. The transfer mechanism is configured to load the material on the first jig and the second jig, and unload the material from the first jig and the second jig.

[0020] The feeding mechanism can realize continuous and alternating automatic feeding, improve the production efficiency of the processing equipment, reduce the space occupied by the feeding mechanism in the second direction, and improve the space utilization. In addition, the driving assembly is arranged outside the sliding space, and does not interfere with the movement of the first jig and the second jig, which helps to ensure the stable operation of the feeding mechanism.

[0029] The following specific embodiments will further illustrate the present application in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. Specific embodiments

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0032] The application provides a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism comprises a base, a first jig, a second jig and a driving assembly. The base is provided with a sliding space. In the sliding space, the first jig and the second jig are movably installed on the base and are configured to carry materials. A first direction is defined as the direction in which the materials are carried, and the first jig and the second jig are spaced apart along the first direction. In the first direction, the movement path of the first jig at least partially overlaps the movement path of the second jig. The driving assembly is installed on the base and located outside the sliding space. The driving assembly is in driving connection with the first jig and the second jig respectively and is configured to drive the first jig and the second jig to alternately reciprocate along a second direction, so that the first jig and the second jig alternately transport the materials, and the second direction intersects the first direction.

[0033] In the feeding mechanism described above, the first jig and the second jig are both installed inside the sliding space and are spaced apart along the first direction. The driving assembly is installed outside the sliding space and is capable of driving the first jig and the second jig to alternately reciprocate along the second direction to alternately transport the materials. Compared with the existing feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism provided by the application not only realizes continuous and alternating automatic feeding and improves the production efficiency of the processing equipment, but also reduces the occupied space of the feeding mechanism in the second direction and improves the space utilization. In addition, since the driving assembly is arranged outside the sliding space, it does not interfere with the movement of the first jig and the second jig, which helps to ensure the stable operation of the feeding mechanism.

[0034] Some embodiments of the application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the application provides a feeding mechanism 10. The feeding mechanism 10 is used for conveying materials 200. The materials 200 can be directly products to be processed, such as PCB boards, mobile phone display screens and the like, or can be material trays containing products, and the application does not limit this, and a person skilled in the art can select according to the actual situation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 10 comprises a base 11, a first jig 12, a second jig 13, and a driving assembly 14. The base 11 is provided with a sliding space 111 for movement of the first jig 12 and the second jig 13. For example, the base 11 comprises a first side plate (not shown) and a second side plate (not shown) which are spaced apart to form the sliding space 111.

[0037] In other embodiments, the base 11 can also be of an integrated structure, which is not limited in the present application, and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first direction is defined as the direction of carrying the material 200, and the second direction intersects the first direction. The first direction is parallel to the direction indicated by X in the figure, and the second direction is parallel to the direction indicated by Y in the figure. For the convenience of referring to the figure, the first direction is represented as "first direction X" hereinafter, and the second direction is represented as "second direction Y".

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in the sliding space 111, the first jig 12 and the second jig 13 are movably installed on the base 11 and are configured to carry the material 200. The first jig 12 and the second jig 13 are spaced apart along the first direction X, and as viewed along the first direction X, the movement path of the first jig 12 at least partially overlaps the movement path of the second jig 13.

[0040] Briefly, the first jig 12 and the second jig 13 are stacked along the first direction X in the sliding space 111. By adopting the stacked arrangement, the occupied space of the first jig 12 and the second jig 13 in the second direction Y is reduced, thereby improving the space utilization.

[0041] It should be noted that the movement path of the first jig 12 at least partially overlaps the movement path of the second jig 13, which specifically means that the projection of the first jig 12 along the first direction X at least partially covers the movement path of the second jig 13.

[0042] In some embodiments, the driving assembly 14 is installed on the base 11 and located outside the sliding space 111. By arranging the driving assembly 14 outside the sliding space 111, the risk of movement interference between the driving assembly 14 and the first jig 12 and the second jig 13 is reduced, thereby ensuring stable operation of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the drive assembly 14 is connected to the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 respectively, and is configured to drive the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 to reciprocate alternately along the second direction Y, so that the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 alternately convey material 200.

[0044] Understandably, when the drive component 14 drives the first fixture 12 to move along the second direction Y, the drive component 14 simultaneously drives the second fixture 13 to move in the opposite direction along the second direction Y, so as to realize the alternating movement of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13, that is, to realize continuous alternating automated feeding.

[0045] The feeding mechanism 10 provided in this application can not only realize continuous and alternating automated feeding, but also improve the processing equipment 100 (see reference). Figure 6 This improves production efficiency and reduces the space occupied by the feeding mechanism 10 in the second direction Y, thus increasing space utilization. Furthermore, since the drive assembly 14 is located outside the sliding space 111, it does not interfere with the movement of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13, helping to ensure the stable operation of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the movement path of the first fixture 12 completely overlaps with the movement path of the second fixture 13, which helps to further reduce the space occupied by the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 in the second direction Y, so as to make the overall structure of the feeding mechanism 10 more compact.

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the base 11 is provided with a material picking station 112 and a material dispensing station 113, which are distributed along the second direction Y. One of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 is located at the material picking station 112, and the other of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 is located at the material dispensing station 113.

[0048] The drive assembly 14 is configured to drive the first fixture 12 to the pick-up station 112 or the unload station 113, and to drive the second fixture 13 to the pick-up station 112 or the unload station 113.

[0049] For example, in the initial state (specifically, the state in which neither the first fixture 12 nor the second fixture 13 moves relative to the base 11), the first fixture 12 is located at the unloading station 113 and the second fixture 13 is located at the unloading station 112.

[0050] When the processing equipment 100 is loaded, the external transfer mechanism 20 loads the material 200 onto the first fixture 12. After the material 200 is loaded onto the first fixture 12, the drive assembly 14 drives the first fixture 12 to move to the unloading station 112, and simultaneously drives the second fixture 13 to move in the opposite direction to the unloading station 113. At this time, the external transfer mechanism 20 unloads the material 200 from the first fixture 12 and loads new material 200 into the second fixture 13.

[0051] After material 200 is unloaded from the first fixture 12 and new material 200 is loaded into the second fixture 13, the drive assembly 14 drives the second fixture 13 to move to the picking station 112, while simultaneously driving the first fixture 12 back to the unloading station 113 in the opposite direction. At this time, the external transfer mechanism 20 unloads the material 200 from the second fixture 13 and loads new material 200 into the first fixture 12. The first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 then cycle in this manner.

[0052] In other embodiments, in the initial state, the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 may simultaneously be located at the unloading station 113 or the unloading station 112. After the loading mechanism 10 is activated, the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 operate alternately. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0053] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 14 includes a first drive member 141 and a timing belt 142. Both the first drive member 141 and the timing belt 142 are mounted on the base 11. The first drive member 141 is connected to the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 via the timing belt 142.

[0054] Specifically, when the first driving member 141 drives the synchronous belt 142 to move, the synchronous belt 142 can drive the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 to move synchronously in opposite directions, that is, to realize the alternating reciprocating motion between the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13.

[0055] By cooperating with the first drive component 141 and the timing belt 142, a single drive component can simultaneously drive the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 to move synchronously in opposite directions, which helps to reduce the number of drive components used and lower production costs.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first drive member 141 and the timing belt 142 are located on both sides of the base 11, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the feeding mechanism 10. For example, a technician can install the first drive member 141 and the timing belt 142 on both sides of the base 11 at the same time.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first driving member 141 is a rodless cylinder, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the first fixture 12. The first fixture 12 is connected to the second fixture 13 via a synchronous belt 142. While the rodless cylinder drives the first fixture 12 to move, it also drives the second fixture 13 to move, effectively and rationally allocating the production cycle and improving the overall operating efficiency of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0058] In other embodiments, the first drive member 141 may also be an electric, cylinder-type, or other reciprocating linear motion mechanical structure. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0059] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 14 includes a second drive member (not shown) and a third drive member (not shown), the second drive member being drivenly connected to one of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13, and the third drive member being drivenly connected to the other of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13.

[0060] By setting up the second and third driving components, the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 can operate independently, which helps to improve the flexibility of the feeding mechanism 10. When one of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 fails, the other can still continue to transport materials 200 without causing a shutdown.

[0061] For example, in the initial state, the first fixture 12 is located at the unloading station 113, and the second drive member is drivenly connected to the first fixture 12. The second fixture 13 is located at the unloading station 112, and the third drive member is drivenly connected to the second fixture 13. When the processing equipment 100 is loaded, the external transfer mechanism 20 loads the material 200 onto the first fixture 12.

[0062] After material 200 is loaded into the first fixture 12, the second drive unit independently drives the first fixture 12 to move to the material handling station 112, while the third drive unit independently drives the second fixture 13 to move in the opposite direction to the material unloading station 113. Subsequently, the external transfer mechanism 20 unloads the material 200 from the first fixture 12 and loads new material 200 into the second fixture 13.

[0063] After material 200 is unloaded from the first fixture 12 and new material 200 is loaded into the second fixture 13, the third drive unit moves the second fixture 13 to the unloading station 112, while simultaneously driving the first fixture 12 to move in the opposite direction to the unloading station 113. At this time, the external transfer mechanism 20 unloads the material 200 from the second fixture 13 and loads new material 200 into the first fixture 12. The first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 then repeat this cycle.

[0064] Please refer to the following:Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 10 further includes a first guide assembly 15 and a second guide assembly 16. The first guide assembly 15 includes a first linear guide rail 151 and a first slider 152. The first linear guide rail 151 is mounted on the base 11 along a second direction Y. The first slider 152 is fixedly mounted on the first fixture 12. The first slider 152 is configured to slide along the first linear guide rail 151 when the first fixture 12 moves relative to the base 11.

[0065] The second guide assembly 16 includes a second linear guide rail 161 and a second slider 162. The second linear guide rail 161 is mounted on the base 11 along the second direction Y. The second slider 162 is fixedly mounted on the second fixture 13. The second slider 162 is configured to slide along the second linear guide rail 161 when the second fixture 13 moves relative to the base 11.

[0066] By setting the first guide component 15 and the second guide component 16, the degrees of freedom of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 in other directions can be restricted, so as to ensure the straightness and stability of the movement path of the first fixture 12 and the movement path of the second fixture 13. This helps to reduce the risk of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13 deviating and improve the feeding accuracy of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0067] In other embodiments, the first guide component 15 and the second guide component 16 may also be other guide structures. This application does not limit them, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 10 further includes a first positioning component 17 and a second positioning component 18. The first positioning component 17 is mounted on the first fixture 12, and the second positioning component 18 is mounted on the second fixture 13. Both the first positioning component 17 and the second positioning component 18 are configured to position the material 200.

[0069] By setting the first positioning component 17 and the second positioning component 18, firstly, it is beneficial to simplify the placement and fixing of the material 200, reduce the time spent repeatedly adjusting the material 200, speed up the production rhythm, and thus improve the production efficiency of the processing equipment 100; secondly, it is beneficial to ensure that the material 200 is accurately positioned in the fixture (specifically the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13), reduce the loading error of the material 200, and improve product quality.

[0070] For example, the first positioning component 17 includes a plurality of positioning blocks (not shown), all of which are mounted on the first fixture 12, and the plurality of positioning blocks surround an assembly position (not shown), which is configured to carry material 200. It should be noted that the second positioning component 18 is the same as the first positioning component 17, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the first positioning component 17 and the second positioning component 18 may be different, and the first positioning component 17 and the second positioning component 18 may also be other positioning structures. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0072] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 10 further includes a protective cover 19, which is mounted on the base 11 and covers the drive assembly 14. The protective cover 19 not only prevents operators from contacting moving parts, reducing the risk of pinching, collisions, and other accidents, and ensuring a safe working environment, but also prevents dust, debris, liquids, and other foreign objects from entering the drive assembly 14, avoiding equipment damage or malfunction and extending its service life. In addition, the protective cover 19 also makes the feeding mechanism 10 look cleaner, hiding its complex internal structure and improving its overall aesthetics.

[0073] Please see Figure 6 One embodiment of this application provides a processing apparatus 100. The processing apparatus 100 includes a transfer mechanism 20 and a loading mechanism 10 as described above. The transfer mechanism 20 is configured to load material 200 onto a first fixture 12 and a second fixture 13, and to unload material 200 from the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13.

[0074] The processing equipment 100 provided in one embodiment of this application, by employing the aforementioned feeding mechanism 10, can not only achieve continuous and alternating automated feeding, thereby improving the production efficiency of the processing equipment 100, but also reduce the space occupied by the feeding mechanism 10 in the second direction Y, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, since the drive component 14 is located outside the sliding space 111, it will not interfere with the movement of the first fixture 12 and the second fixture 13, which helps ensure the stable operation of the feeding mechanism 10.

[0075] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
