[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device 100, which comprises a first feeding assembly 10 and a second feeding assembly 20, and the feeding device 100 is used for simultaneously providing a first workpiece and a second workpiece. Wherein, the first workpiece and the second workpiece can be keys, conductive springs, screws, nuts, etc.

[0051] In order to facilitate understanding and description of the embodiments of the present application, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established in part of the drawings, the first direction is the X-axis direction shown in the figure, the second direction is the Y-axis direction shown in the figure, and the third direction is the Z-axis direction shown in the figure. Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 ​​​The first feeding assembly 10 comprises a support 11, a synchronizer 12 and two shaping members 13. The support 11 is provided with feeding positions 111 and taking positions 112 at intervals along a first direction. The synchronizer 12 is arranged around the support 11. The two shaping members 13 are arranged at two sides of the support 11 along a second direction and are both in sliding connection with the support 11 along the first direction. The two shaping members 13 are respectively connected to two sides of the synchronizer 12 along the second direction. The two shaping members 13 are used to alternately move to the feeding positions 111 under the driving of the synchronizer 12 to receive and shape the first workpieces and alternately move to the taking positions 112 under the driving of the synchronizer 12 to provide the shaped first workpieces. The second feeding assembly 20 comprises a fixing member 21, a guide member 22, a linkage member 23, a sliding member 24 and two bearing members 25. The fixing member 21 is arranged adjacent to the support 11 and is provided with discharging positions 211 and moving positions 212 at intervals along the first direction. The moving positions 212 are adjacent to the taking positions 112. The guide member 22 is protruded to one side of the fixing member 21 along the second direction and is provided with a guide curve 221. The linkage member 23 is arranged around the fixing member 21. The sliding member 24 is in sliding connection with the fixing member 21 along the first direction and is located at the same side of the fixing member 21 as the guide member 22. The sliding member 24 abuts against the guide curve 221 and is connected to one side of the linkage member 23. The two bearing members 25 are both located at one side of the fixing member 21 facing the linkage member 23. One of the two bearing members 25 is in movable connection with the sliding member 24. The other bearing member 25 is in sliding connection with the fixing member 21 along the first direction. The two bearing members 25 are used to alternately move to the discharging positions 211 under the driving of the linkage member 23 to support the second workpieces and alternately move to the moving positions 212 under the driving of the linkage member 23 to provide the second workpieces. The sliding member 24 is used to drive the corresponding bearing member 25 to move along a third direction at a preset position under the guidance of the guide curve 221 so that the two bearing members 25 are staggered through the preset position. Exemplarily, the guide curve 221 is substantially in the shape of "convex".

[0053] In use, the feeding device 100 drives the two shaping members 13 to alternately move to the taking positions 112 under the driving of the synchronizer 12 to cyclically provide the first workpieces to the taking positions 112. The feeding device 100 drives the two bearing members 25 to alternately move to the moving positions 212 adjacent to the taking positions 112 under the driving of the linkage member 23 to cyclically provide the second workpieces to the moving positions 212. Thus, the feeding device 100 cyclically provides the first workpieces and the second workpieces, reduces the feeding process and improves the feeding efficiency.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the synchronizer 12 comprises a driving body 121, a driven body 122, a synchronous belt 123 and a synchronous driving body 124. The driving body 121 is rotatably arranged on the support 11 and detachably connected with the support 11. The driven body 122 is spaced apart from the driving body 121 along the first direction and rotatably arranged on the support 11 and detachably connected with the support 11. The synchronous belt 123 is sleeved on the driving body 121 and the driven body 122, and two sides of the synchronous belt 123 along the second direction are connected with the two shaping members 13 respectively. The synchronous driving body 124 is connected with the driving body 121, and the synchronous driving body 124 is used to drive the driving body 121 to rotate to drive the synchronous belt 123 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 123 drives the two shaping members 13 to move alternately to the feeding position 111 or the taking position 112. Exemplarily, the synchronous driving body 124 can be a rotary motor.

[0055] In this way, by arranging the above-mentioned synchronizer 12, a belt transmission mechanism can be formed. The transmission mechanism has the characteristics of stable transmission and synchronous transmission, so that the precise and stable control of the alternating movement of the two shaping members 13 can be realized, and the feeding efficiency is improved. In addition, by arranging the driving body 121 and the driven body 122 to be detachably connected with the support 11 respectively, the tightness of the synchronous belt 123 can be adjusted, and the stable movement of the two shaping members 13 driven by the synchronous belt 123 can be ensured.

[0056] It can be understood that the structure of the linkage 23 is substantially the same as that of the synchronizer 12, except that the linkage 23 is arranged on the fixing member 21.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the shaping member 13 comprises a supporting body 131, a positioning body 132, a reference body 133 and a shaping body 134. The supporting body 131 is slidably arranged on the support 11 along the first direction and connected with the synchronizer 12. The supporting body 131 is provided with a receiving groove 1311 and a positioning groove 1312. The receiving groove 1311 is arranged on the side of the supporting body 131 away from the support 11. The positioning groove 1312 is arranged at the groove bottom of the receiving groove 1311 and used to receive the first workpiece to position the first workpiece along the third direction. The positioning body 132 is slidably arranged in the receiving groove 1311 along the second direction and used to position the first workpiece along the second direction. The reference body 133 and the shaping body 134 are spaced apart along the first direction in the receiving groove 1311. The reference body 133 is connected with the supporting body 131, and the shaping member 13 is slidably arranged in the receiving groove 1311 and used to position and shape the first workpiece along the first direction.

[0058] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the shaping member 13, the positioning groove 1312 receives the first workpiece, so that the groove bottom of the positioning groove 1312 abuts against the first workpiece in the third direction to position the workpiece in the third direction, the positioning body 132 positions the first workpiece in the second direction, the shaping body 134 and the reference body 133 clamp the first workpiece in the first direction to position and shape the first workpiece in the first direction, thereby realizing simultaneous positioning of the first workpiece in three directions, improving the positioning accuracy and stability.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning body 132 includes two positioning portions 1321, two first elastic portions 1322, two abutting portions 1323, and a pushing portion 1324. The two positioning portions 1321 are respectively slidably arranged in the receiving groove 1311 along the second direction and are spaced apart along the second direction. The two first elastic portions 1322 correspond to the two positioning portions 1321 one-to-one, and the two ends of each first elastic portion 1322 abut against the groove wall of the receiving groove 1311 and the corresponding positioning portion 1321 along the second direction, respectively. The two first elastic portions 1322 are used to drive the two positioning portions 1321 to move relatively along the second direction to position the first workpiece along the second direction. The two abutting portions 1323 correspond to the two positioning portions 1321 one-to-one, and each abutting portion 1323 is protrudingly arranged on the side of the corresponding positioning portion 1321 away from the corresponding first elastic portion 1322. The side of the abutting portion 1323 away from the corresponding first elastic portion 1322 is provided with an abutting inclined surface 1323a, and the abutting inclined surface 1323a is arranged obliquely with respect to the second direction. The pushing portion 1324 is connected with the carrier 25, and the pushing portion 1324 is used to be inserted between the two abutting portions 1323 and push the abutting inclined surface 1323a, so that the two positioning portions 1321 move away from each other along the second direction and compress the corresponding first elastic portion 1322. Exemplarily, the first elastic portion 1322 can be a spring, and the pushing portion 1324 can be any pushing block, pushing member or similar pushing body capable of pushing the two abutting portions 1323, for example, a pushing portion 1324 composed of a cylinder and a conical body, the cylinder drives the conical body to be inserted between the two abutting portions 1323 and push the two abutting portions 1323 to move away from each other along the second direction.

[0060] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the positioning body 132, when the first workpiece is placed or released, the pushing body is inserted between the two abutting portions 1323, and the abutting inclined surface 1323a is pushed, so that the two abutting portions 1323 drive the two positioning portions 1321 to move in opposite directions along the second direction, and the corresponding first elastic portions 1322 are compressed, so as to place or release the first workpiece. When the first workpiece is positioned along the second direction, the pushing body is separated from the two abutting portions 1323, and the two compressed first elastic portions 1322 drive the two positioning portions 1321 to move in opposite directions along the second direction, so as to position the first workpiece along the second direction, thereby stably achieving the releasing and positioning operations of the first workpiece, and improving the operation stability.

[0061] Please refer again to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the shaping body 134 includes a shaping portion 1341, a second elastic portion 1342, a protruding portion 1343, a movable portion 1344, and a shaping driving portion 1345. The shaping portion 1341 is slidably arranged in the receiving groove 1311 along the first direction. The two ends of the second elastic portion 1342 are elastically abutted on the shaping portion 1341 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1311 along the first direction, respectively. The second elastic portion 1342 is used to provide elastic force and drive the shaping portion 1341 to move close to the reference body 133, so as to position and shape the first workpiece. The protruding portion 1343 is protrudingly arranged on the side of the shaping portion 1341 away from the carrier 25. The movable portion 1344 is movably arranged in the carrier 25 along the first direction and extends into the receiving groove 1311. The movable portion 1344 is provided with a through groove 1344a which penetrates the movable portion 1344 along the third direction. The protruding portion 1343 is movably inserted into the through groove 1344a along the third direction. The shaping driving portion 1345 is connected to the end of the movable portion 1344 away from the protruding portion 1343. The shaping driving portion 1345 is used to drive the movable portion 1344 to move away from the reference body 133, so that the through groove 1344a pushes the protruding portion 1343 away from the groove wall of the shaping driving portion 1345 to drive the shaping portion 1341 to move. Exemplarily, the second elastic portion 1342 can be a spring, and the shaping driving portion 1345 can be an air cylinder.

[0062] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the shaping body 134, when placing or releasing the first workpiece, the shaping driving part 1345 drives the movable part 1344 to move away from the reference body 133, so that the through groove 1344a pushes the protruding part 1343 to drive the shaping part 1341 to move, and the shaping part 1341 is compressed to the groove wall of the receiving groove 1311, so as to place or release the first workpiece. When positioning the first workpiece in the first direction, the compressed second elastic part 1342 provides elastic force and drives the shaping part 1341 to move close to the reference body 133, so as to position and shape the first workpiece in the first direction, thereby stably achieving the positioning and releasing operation of the first workpiece, and further improving the operation stability.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first feeding assembly 10 further comprises a code scanning member 14, which is arranged at the feeding position 111 and connected with the supporting member 11. The code scanning member 14 is used for scanning the code of the first workpiece. For example, the code scanning member 14 can be a code scanning gun.

[0064] Before the external mechanical arm transfers the first workpiece to the feeding position 111, the code scanning member 14 scans the code of the first workpiece to obtain the processing information of the workpiece, and then places the first workpiece in the shaping member 13 at the feeding position 111. Thus, by setting the code scanning member 14 to scan the code of the first workpiece to obtain the processing information of the workpiece, it is convenient for subsequent production process to trace and manage.

[0065] It can be understood that the processing information refers to the model, specification, size, batch, etc. of the first workpiece.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the sliding member 24 comprises a connecting body 241, a sliding body 242, an abutting body 243, an elastic body 244 and a supporting body 245. The connecting body 241 is connected with the linkage member 23. The sliding body 242 is arranged on one side of the fixed member 21 along the second direction and is slidingly connected with the fixed member 21 along the first direction. The sliding body 242 is connected with the connecting body 241. The abutting body 243 abuts against the guide curved surface 221. The abutting body 243 is used to move along the guide path of the guide curved surface 221 under the driving of the connecting body 241, and move close to the sliding body 242 along the third direction at the preset position. The two ends of the elastic body 244 are elastically abutted against the sliding body 242 and the abutting body 243 along the third direction respectively. The elastic body 244 is used to compress the abutting body 243 at the preset position. The supporting body 245 is movably arranged in the sliding body 242 along the third direction. The two ends of the supporting body 245 are connected with the abutting body 243 and the corresponding bearing member 25 respectively. The supporting body 245 is used to lift the corresponding bearing member 25 along the third direction at the preset position under the driving of the abutting body 243. For example, the elastic body 244 can be a spring.

[0067] Thus, the connecting body 241 drives the sliding body 242 and the abutting body 243 to slide along the first direction under the driving of the linkage 23, and the abutting body 243 moves close to the sliding body 242 under the guidance of the guide curve 221 when moving to the preset position and compresses the elastic body 244 to the sliding body 242, so that the supporting body 245 flexibly lifts the corresponding carrier 25, so that there is a large enough moving space between the corresponding carrier 25 and the upper surface of the fixed part 21, which is beneficial for the other carrier 25 to pass through in a staggered manner, avoids collision between the two carriers 25, and improves the operation stability.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the sliding body 242 includes a sliding part 2421 and a limiting part 2422. The sliding part 2421 is arranged on the fixed part 21 along the first direction and connected with the connecting body 241, and the sliding part 2421 abuts against the elastic body 244. The limiting part 2422 is arranged in the sliding part 2421 along the third direction and extends out of the sliding part 2421 close to one side of the abutting body 243, the limiting part 2422 is sleeved on the supporting body 245, and the limiting part 2422 is used for abutting against one side of the abutting body 243 away from the guide 22 to limit the movement distance of the abutting body 243. Exemplarily, the limiting part 2422 can be a linear bearing.

[0069] Thus, by setting the specific structure of the sliding body 242 as described above, when the abutting body 243 moves close to the sliding body 242 at the preset position, the limiting part 2422 abuts against the abutting body 243 to limit the movement distance of the abutting body 243, ensuring that the abutting body 243 drives the supporting body 245 to lift the corresponding carrier 25 by a preset height, which is beneficial for the two carriers 25 to pass through in a staggered manner.

[0076] In this way, by arranging the first image capturing member 15 and the second image capturing member 27, the image information of the first workpiece is acquired by the first image capturing member 15 and the image information of the second workpiece is acquired by the second image capturing member 27 before the first workpiece and the second workpiece are taken away by the external robot, so as to determine the position information of the first workpiece and the second workpiece, facilitate to determine the difference information between the first workpiece and the second workpiece and the to-be-assembled position, and be beneficial to accurately transferring the first workpiece and the second workpiece to the to-be-assembled position by the external robot, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the first workpiece and the second workpiece.

[0077] The working process of the feeding device 100 is as follows:

[0078] Firstly, the code scanning member 14 scans the first workpiece to obtain the processing information of the workpiece, and then places the first workpiece on the shaping member 13 located at the feeding position 111. The positioning groove 1312 receives the first workpiece, so that the groove bottom of the positioning groove 1312 abuts against the first workpiece along the third direction to position the workpiece along the third direction. The positioning body 132 positions the first workpiece along the second direction. The shaping body 134 and the reference body 133 clamp the first workpiece along the first direction to position and shape the first workpiece along the first direction. At the same time, the second workpiece is placed on the bearing member 25 located at the discharging position 211. The detection member 26 detects the placement information of the second workpiece in time to determine whether the second workpiece is placed on the bearing member 25 located at the discharging position 211.

[0079] Then, the shaping member 13 bearing the first workpiece is driven by the synchronization member 12 to move to the taking position 112 to provide the first workpiece, and the empty shaping member 13 is moved to the feeding position 111 to receive the first workpiece. At the same time, the bearing member 25 bearing the second workpiece is driven by the linkage member 23 to move to the moving position 212 to provide the second workpiece, and the empty bearing member 25 is moved to the discharging position 211 to receive the second workpiece, thereby realizing the circulation of providing the first workpiece and the second workpiece, reducing the feeding process, and improving the feeding efficiency.
