[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a feeding device for processing automotive sun visors, including a feeding mechanism 100. Below the feeding mechanism 100 is a mechanically engaged rodless cylinder slide 200 for receiving the blank 300 to be processed. Above the mechanically engaged rodless cylinder slide 200 is a conveying mechanism 400, which transfers the blank 300 to be processed on the mechanically engaged rodless cylinder slide 200 to a fabric application platform 500.

[0040] The feeding mechanism 100 includes several clamping columns 101 that surround and limit the workpiece 300 to be processed. The clamping columns 101 are mounted on a support platform 102. The support platform 102 has a discharge port 105 in the middle for feeding the workpiece 300 to be processed. The sides of the clamping columns 101 are provided with two first clamping assemblies 103 and second clamping assemblies 104 of the same specifications. The first clamping assembly 103 is mounted above the second clamping assembly 104. The first clamping assembly 103 includes a cylinder 1031. The piston rod 1032 of the cylinder 1031 is arranged facing the workpiece 300 to be processed. The movable end of the piston rod 1032 is provided with a clamping plate 1033. With the cooperation of the clamping plates of the first clamping assembly 103 and the second clamping assembly 104, the workpiece 300 to be processed falls down one by one.

[0041] The mechanically coupled rodless cylinder slide 200 is provided with a slide body 201 for transferring the blank 300 to be processed. When the slide body 201 is receiving the material, it moves to the direct below the discharge port 105. When the material is discharging, the slide body 201 gradually moves toward one side of the fabric application platform 500.

[0042] The clamping plate 1033 is L-shaped, with the opening of the clamping plate 1033 on the first clamping assembly 103 facing upwards, and the opening of the clamping plate 1033 on the second clamping assembly 104 facing downwards.

[0043] On one side of the clamping plate 1033 facing the workpiece blank 300 to be processed, there is a chamfer for facilitating feeding.

[0044] The second clamping component 104 is installed on the support table, and the support table is arranged outside the support platform 102.

[0045] The conveying mechanism 400 includes a bracket 401 arranged in a "冂" shape. At both ends of the bracket 401, there are respectively a first pneumatic suction cup 402 and a second pneumatic suction cup 403. The bracket 401 is connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 404 and is lifted by the lifting cylinder 404; the lifting cylinder 404 moves below the slide rail 407.

[0046] The top of the lifting cylinder 404 is installed on the slider. The slider is limited inside the slide rail 407. On the other side of the lifting cylinder 404, it is installed on the mounting table 406. On both sides of the mounting table 406, there are limit sleeves; on the bracket 401, there is a guide rod 405 arranged vertically. The guide rod 405 is limited to move up and down inside the limit sleeve.

[0047] During use, the second pneumatic suction cup 403 moves above the cloth pasting platform 500 and sucks the finished parts on the cloth pasting platform 500.

[0048] The first clamping component 103 and the second clamping component 104 are arranged on the same side. There is one first clamping component 103 and one second clamping component 104. The length of the clamping plate on the first clamping component 103 and the second clamping component 104 is greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the workpiece blank 300 to be processed; or, the first clamping component 103 and the second clamping component 104 are arranged on opposite sides. There is one first clamping component 103 and one second clamping component 104. The length of the clamping plate on the first clamping component 103 and the second clamping component 104 is greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the workpiece blank 300 to be processed.

[0049] There are two first clamping components 103 and two second clamping components 104. The two first clamping components 103 are arranged on opposite sides, and the two second clamping components 104 are arranged on opposite sides. The length of the clamping plate on the first clamping component 103 and the second clamping component 104 is not greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the workpiece blank 300 to be processed.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] 1. Unloading Stage: The blank 300 to be processed is placed above the discharge port 105 of the support table 102. The L-shaped clamping plate 1033 is driven to move inward or outward by the cylinder 1031 of the first clamping assembly 103, and the second clamping assembly 104 moves inward or outward asynchronously. By alternately moving the clamping plates, the blanks fall one by one onto the slide body 201 of the mechanically engaged rodless cylinder slide table 200. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 103 originally supports all the blanks, but when unloading is started, the first clamping assembly 103 pulls out the clamping plate so that all the blanks are supported on the clamping plate of the second clamping assembly 104. Then the clamping plate of the first clamping assembly 103 is inserted, so that the clamping plate of the first clamping assembly 103 supports one less blank stack. Then the clamping plate of the second clamping assembly 104 is pulled out, so that the blanks fall one by one. It should be noted that the clamping plates of the first clamping assembly 103 and the second clamping assembly 104 are thin enough and have a chamfer on the side facing the middle to facilitate feeding, thus making it easy for the upper clamping plate to be inserted.

[0052] In addition, in this solution, only one of the first clamping assembly 103 and the second clamping assembly 104 can be provided. However, the length of the clamping plate on the first clamping assembly 103 and the second clamping assembly 104 must exceed half the length of the blank. At this time, the first clamping assembly 103 and the second clamping assembly 104 can be provided on the same side or on opposite sides.

[0053] In this scheme, there can be two first clamping assemblies 103 and two second clamping assemblies 104. The two first clamping assemblies 103 are set on opposite sides, and the two second clamping assemblies 104 are set on opposite sides. At this time, the length of the clamping plates on the first clamping assemblies 103 and the second clamping assemblies 104 does not exceed half the length of the blank. That is, the blank 300 to be processed is supported by the two clamping plates on the two first clamping assemblies 103. The same applies to the two second clamping assemblies 104.

[0054] II. Transshipment Stage:

[0055] The slide body 201 moves along the rodless cylinder to the bottom of the discharge port 105 to receive the blank 300 to be processed, and then moves horizontally to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 400; the lifting cylinder 404 drives the bracket 401 to descend, the first pneumatic suction cup 402 adsorbs the blank 300 to be processed and lifts it, and through the cooperation of the slider-slide rail 407, the drive mechanism on the outside of the slide rail 407 drives the slider to move on the slide rail 407 (the drive mechanism is an existing structure and is not shown), and moves horizontally to the top of the fabric application platform 500 and is released.

[0056] III. Synchronous Tasks:

[0057] The second pneumatic suction cup 403 simultaneously picks up the blank 300 to be processed from the first pneumatic suction cup 402 and also picks up the finished part on the fabric application platform 500. As the first pneumatic suction cup 402 moves, the second pneumatic suction cup 403 simultaneously removes the finished part. When the first pneumatic suction cup 402 and the second pneumatic suction cup 403 reach the designated location, they are released simultaneously, realizing synchronous loading and unloading operations and improving the continuity of the production line.

[0058] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
