Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding device for a laser machine with a one-to-one five-layer material silo. Background Technology
[0002] During laser processing, laser machines typically require a feeding mechanism for automated material loading to improve efficiency and reduce manual labor. However, in practical applications, some materials are unsuitable for stacking, as this can damage them. Furthermore, when processing materials of different materials or specifications, the feeding mechanism usually needs to retrieve materials from different material magazines, which is extremely inconvenient and may lead to a decrease in production efficiency. Therefore, designing a material magazine capable of uniformly managing different materials and specifications, allowing the feeding mechanism to flexibly obtain the required materials from a single magazine, is particularly important. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for a laser machine with a one-to-one five-layer material storage, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art that when different materials or specifications need to be processed, the feeding mechanism usually needs to take materials from different material storage, which is extremely inconvenient and may lead to a decrease in production efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for a laser machine with a one-to-one five-layer material silo, including a feeding silo, a laser machine, and a conveying device. The conveying device transports materials from the feeding silo to the laser machine. The conveying device includes a suspension arm, a conveying mechanism, and a drive motor. The conveying mechanism is slidably mounted on the suspension arm, which is positioned above the feeding silo and the laser machine. The drive motor is located at the connection point between the suspension arm and the conveying mechanism, and is used to drive the conveying mechanism to slide along the suspension arm past the feeding silo and the laser machine. The conveying mechanism is used to pick up materials from the feeding silo.
[0005] Furthermore, the material loading silo includes five layers of loading mechanisms, which are stacked one on top of the other. Each loading mechanism includes a loading rack and a support assembly. The loading rack has loading positions and pickup positions. The support assembly is slidably mounted on the loading rack and slides past the loading and pickup positions. The transport mechanism reciprocates along the pickup position and the laser machine. The loading position is used to load materials onto the support assembly, and the pickup position is used to position the support assembly for the transport mechanism to pick up materials.
[0006] Furthermore, the supporting assembly includes a support frame, a motion motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, and a transmission chain. Several pulleys are provided on both sides of the support frame, each pulley being slidably connected to the loading frame. The drive gear and driven gear are rotatably mounted on the loading frame, located at the loading position and the pickup position, respectively. The transmission chain is sleeved on and meshes with the drive gear and driven gear, enabling the drive gear and driven gear to drive each other. The motion motor is located on one side of the loading frame and connected to the drive gear, used to drive the drive gear to rotate. The support frame is connected to the transmission chain.
[0007] Furthermore, several positioning posts are provided on one side of the support frame, which are used to position the material on the support frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the transport mechanism includes a connecting arm, a mounting frame, and a pickup assembly. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the sliding unit of the suspension arm, and the other end of the connecting arm is connected to the mounting frame. A drive motor is installed at the connection point between the connecting arm and the suspension arm, and the drive motor is used to drive the connecting arm to move along the direction of the suspension arm. A lifting mechanism is also provided between the mounting frame and the pickup assembly. The lifting mechanism is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and the pickup assembly is connected to the drive end of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to control the raising or lowering of the pickup assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor, a drive roller shaft, and two transmission assemblies. The drive roller shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, and the lifting motor drives the drive roller shaft to rotate forward or backward. The two transmission assemblies are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the drive roller shaft. The transmission assemblies are connected to the pickup assembly and are used to drive the pickup assembly to rise or fall.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a transmission roller, two fixed pulleys, and two connecting belts. The transmission roller is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller shaft. The two fixed pulleys are rotatably connected to the mounting frame and are located on both sides of the transmission roller. One end of each of the two connecting belts is connected to the upper and lower ends of the transmission roller, and the other end is connected to the pickup assembly after passing around the fixed pulleys on both sides. When the lifting motor drives the transmission roller shaft to rotate forward or reverse, the transmission roller drives the connecting belts to wind up or unwind, thereby driving the pickup assembly to rise or fall.
[0011] Furthermore, the pickup assembly includes a suction holder and several suction nozzles. The suction holder is connected to various connecting belts, and the suction holders are distributed on the suction holder and are all connected to the negative pressure device.
[0012] The above-mentioned technical solutions of one or more of the five-layer automatic feeding devices for laser machines provided in this embodiment of the utility model have at least one of the following technical effects: Materials to be processed by the laser machine are placed in the feeding silo. A drive motor drives a conveying mechanism to move along the direction of the suspension arm to the feeding silo. The conveying mechanism retrieves materials from the feeding silo. Then, the drive motor drives the conveying mechanism to move along the direction of the suspension arm to above the laser machine, where the materials are unloaded onto the laser machine. The laser machine processes the materials. At this time, the conveying mechanism moves back to the feeding silo to retrieve materials, and this process is repeated. The feeding silo has five layers for material retrieval. Different materials or specifications are placed in the five layers, or materials that cannot be stacked, so that the conveying mechanism can retrieve different materials when it reaches the feeding silo. This facilitates the feeding of materials by the conveying mechanism and allows for the retrieval of materials of various specifications from a single silo, improving work efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 1-3As shown, an automatic feeding device for a laser machine with a five-layer silo is provided, including a feeding silo 100, a laser machine, and a conveying device 200. The conveying device 200 transports materials from the feeding silo 100 to the laser machine. The conveying device 200 includes a suspension arm 210, a conveying mechanism 300, and a drive motor 220. The conveying mechanism 300 is slidably mounted on the suspension arm 210, which is positioned above the feeding silo 100 and the laser machine. The drive motor 220 is located at the connection point between the suspension arm 210 and the conveying mechanism 300. The drive motor 220 drives the conveying mechanism 300 to slide along the suspension arm 210 past the feeding silo 100 and the laser machine. The conveying mechanism 300 is used to pick up materials from the feeding silo 100. In this embodiment, the material to be processed by the laser machine is placed in the loading hopper 100. The drive motor 220 drives the transport mechanism 300 to move along the direction of the suspension arm 210 to the loading hopper 100. The transport mechanism 300 takes the material from the loading hopper 100. Then, the drive motor 220 drives the transport mechanism 300 to move along the direction of the suspension arm 210 to the top of the laser machine. The material is then unloaded onto the laser machine, and the laser machine processes the material. At this time, the transport mechanism 300 moves back to the loading hopper 100 to pick up the material, and this process is repeated.
[0023] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the feeding silo 100 includes five layers of feeding mechanisms 110, which are stacked one on top of the other. Each feeding mechanism 110 includes a feeding rack 120 and a carrying component 130. The feeding rack 120 is provided with a feeding position 121 and a picking position 122. The carrying component 130 is slidably mounted on the feeding rack 120 and slides through the feeding position 121 and the picking position 122. The conveying mechanism 300 reciprocates along the picking position 122 and the laser machine. The feeding position 121 is used to feed materials onto the carrying component 130, and the picking position 122 is used to position the carrying component 130 for the conveying mechanism 300 to pick up materials. In this embodiment, the feeding silo 100 is equipped with five feeding mechanisms 110 for material retrieval. The five feeding mechanisms 110 respectively hold materials of different materials or specifications, or materials that cannot be stacked, so that when the transport mechanism 300 arrives at the feeding silo 100, it can retrieve different materials, facilitating material loading by the transport mechanism 300. This allows for the retrieval of materials of various specifications from a single silo, improving work efficiency. In non-working conditions or when feeding is required, each bearing component 130 is located at the feeding position 121. When material needs to be picked up from a certain feeding mechanism 110, the bearing component 130 of that layer slides from the feeding position 121 to the picking position 122, facilitating the transport mechanism 300 to pick up materials from the feeding silo 100.
[0024] More specifically, see reference Figures 1-3 As shown, the feeding silo 100 is equipped with several layers of feeding mechanisms 110.
[0025] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the support assembly 130 includes a support frame 131, a motion motor 132, a drive gear 133, a driven gear 134, and a transmission chain 135. Several pulleys 136 are provided on both sides of the support frame 131, each pulley 136 being slidably connected to the loading rack 120. The drive gear 133 and driven gear 134 are rotatably mounted on the loading rack 120, located at the loading position 121 and the picking position 122 respectively. The transmission chain 135 is sleeved on the drive gear 133 and driven gear 134 and meshes with them, enabling the drive gear 133 and driven gear 134 to drive each other. The motion motor 132 is located on one side of the loading rack 120 and connected to the drive gear 133, used to drive the drive gear 133 to rotate. The support frame 131 is connected to the transmission chain 135. In this embodiment, the support frame 131 is used to carry materials. When the materials on the support frame 131 need to be transported to the laser machine, the motion motor 132 drives the drive gear 133 to rotate. The drive gear 133 drives the chain and the driven gear 134 to move. During the movement, the chain drives the support frame 131 to slide in the loading rack 120 along the loading position 121 and the picking position 122 through the pulley 136, so that the support frame 131 is located on the picking position 122, which facilitates the transport mechanism 300 to pick up the materials on the support frame 131. After the materials are picked up, the motion motor 132 drives the drive gear 133 to reverse again to drive the support frame 131 to move to the loading position 121 to avoid air leakage.
[0026] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a plurality of positioning posts 137 are provided on one side of the support frame 131. The positioning posts 137 are used to position the material on the support frame 131. In this embodiment, the positioning posts 137 are used to position the material on the support frame 131 to prevent the material on the support frame 131 from shifting due to inertia during the movement of the support frame 131.
[0027] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the transport mechanism 300 includes a connecting arm 310, a mounting frame 320, and a pickup assembly 330. One end of the connecting arm 310 is connected to the sliding unit of the suspension arm 210, and the other end of the connecting arm 310 is connected to the mounting frame 320. A drive motor 220 is installed at the connection point between the connecting arm 310 and the suspension arm 210, and the drive motor 220 is used to drive the connecting arm 310 to move along the direction of the suspension arm 210. A lifting mechanism 340 is also provided between the mounting frame 320 and the pickup assembly 330. The lifting mechanism 340 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 320, and the pickup assembly 330 is connected to the drive end of the lifting mechanism 340. The lifting mechanism 340 is used to control the raising or lowering of the pickup assembly 330. In this embodiment, the connecting arm 310 is used to connect the mounting frame 320 and the suspension arm 210. The drive motor 220 drives the transport mechanism 300 to move along the suspension arm 210 to pass through the material hopper 100 and the laser machine. The lifting mechanism 340 is used to drive the picking component 330 up and down to pick up materials.
[0028] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 340 includes a lifting motor 341, a transmission roller shaft 342, and two transmission components 343. The transmission roller shaft 342 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 320. The lifting motor 341 drives the transmission roller shaft 342 to rotate forward or backward. The two transmission components 343 are respectively disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the transmission roller shaft 342. The transmission components 343 are connected to the pickup component 330 and are used to drive the pickup component 330 to rise or fall. In this embodiment, the lifting motor 341 controls the rotation of the transmission roller shaft 342, and controls the synchronous movement of the transmission components 343, so that the two ends of the pickup component 330 rise or fall by the same distance, maintaining a smooth rising or falling process of the pickup component 330.
[0029] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the transmission assembly 343 includes a transmission roller 344, two fixed pulleys 345136, and two connecting belts 346. The transmission roller 344 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller shaft 342. The two fixed pulleys 345136 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 320 and are located on both sides of the transmission roller 344. One end of each of the two connecting belts 346 is connected to the upper and lower ends of the transmission roller 344, and the other end is connected to the pickup assembly 330 after passing around the fixed pulleys 345136 on both sides. When the lifting motor 341 drives the transmission roller shaft 342 to rotate forward or reverse, the transmission roller 344 drives the connecting belts 346 to wind up or unwind, thereby driving the pickup assembly 330 to rise or fall. In this embodiment, the transmission roller shaft 342 is rotated by the lifting motor 341, thereby driving the transmission roller 344 to rotate to wind or unwind the connecting belt 346, so that the rising or falling distance of each belt connected to the pickup component 330 is consistent, and the rising or falling process of the pickup component 330 is kept smooth.
[0030] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the pickup assembly 330 includes a suction holder 331 and several suction nozzles 332. The suction holder 331 is connected to each connecting belt 346, and the suction holders 331 are distributed on the suction holder 331 and are all connected to a negative pressure device.
