Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an alternating feeding device includes: a base 100, a first feeding seat 200, a second feeding seat 300, and a clearance seat 400.

[0039] The base 100 includes a working position and a feeding position.

[0040] The first feeding seat 200 is movably connected to the base 100, and the first feeding seat 200 can be moved to the working position or the feeding position.

[0041] The second feeding seat 300 is equipped with a clearance component.

[0042] The avoidance seat 400 is provided with an avoidance groove 410, which includes a first position, a second position, and a third position. The avoidance member is located in the avoidance groove 410 and can be moved to the first position, the second position, or the third position. When the avoidance member is in the first position, the second feeder 300 is in the feeding position. When the avoidance member is in the second position, the second feeder 300 and the first feeder 200 have different heights, so that the first feeder 200 can move between the working position and the feeding position. When the avoidance member is in the third position, the second feeder 300 is in the working position.

[0043] Specifically, when the first feeding seat 200 moves from the working position to the feeding position, the second feeding seat 300 can move from the first position to the second position to avoid obstruction so that the first feeding seat 200 can pass through and reach the third position; when the first feeding seat 200 moves from the feeding position to the working position, the second feeding seat 300 can move from the third position to the second position to avoid obstruction so that the first feeding seat 200 can pass through and reach the first position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the positions of the first feeding seat 200 and the second feeding seat 300 are exchanged through the cooperation of the first feeding seat 200, the second feeding seat 300 and the avoidance seat 400. In terms of spatial position, the two do not change except for swapping. The gripping mechanism always only needs one reference, which greatly reduces the gripping difficulty of the gripping mechanism.

[0045] like Figures 1-5As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a movable seat 500, which is movably connected to the base 100. The second feeding seat 300 is also provided with a first guide member, and the movable seat 500 is provided with a second guide member. The second guide member is vertically connected to the first guide member.

[0046] In this embodiment, the movable seat 500 is movably connected to the base 100, and the second feeding seat 300 is movable up and down with the first guide of the movable seat 500 via the first guide, so that the second feeding seat 300 is always parallel to the first feeding seat 200 while avoiding positioning.

[0047] Specifically, the first guide member is configured as a guide hole 320, and the second guide member is configured as a guide post 510. The guide post 510 is located inside the guide hole 320 and can move along the hole direction of the guide hole 320.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the clearance groove 410 further includes a clearance straight section 411, which is located between the first position and the third position, and the second position is located in the clearance straight section 411.

[0050] In this embodiment, the avoidance straight segment 411 is located between the first position and the third position, and the second position is located in the avoidance straight segment 411, so that the second feed seat 300 has a longer distance of avoidance to prevent it from colliding with the first feed seat 200.

[0051] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the clearance groove 410 further includes a first inclined section 412 and a second inclined section 413. The first position is connected to the clearance straight section 411 through the first inclined section 412, and the third position is connected to the clearance straight section 411 through the second inclined section 413.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first position is connected to one end of the avoidance straight section 411 through the first inclined section 412, and the second position is connected to the other end of the avoidance straight section 411 through the second inclined section 413, so that the transition of the avoidance straight section 411 to the first position and the third position is relatively smooth, preventing damage from the second feed seat 300 when it moves violently.

[0053] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the clearance groove 410 further includes a feeding straight section 414 and a working straight section 415.

The first position is located in the feeding straight section 414, and the third position is located in the working straight section 415.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first position is located on the feeding straight section 414 parallel to the avoidance straight section 411, and the third position is located on the working straight section 415 parallel to the avoidance straight section 411, to prevent the second feeding seat 300 from automatically sliding down from the first position or the third position along the first inclined section 412 or the second inclined section 413 to the avoidance straight section 411 without being subjected to force.

[0055] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the positioning member is configured as a roller 310, which is rotatably connected to the second feed seat 300. The roller 310 can roll to the first position, the second position, or the third position.

[0056] In this embodiment, the roller 310 is rotatably connected to the second feed seat 300 and can roll to the first position, the second position, or the third position, changing the sliding friction between the roller 310 and the relief groove 410 into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the wear of the roller 310 and the relief groove 410.

[0057] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a transmission component is also included. The first feeding seat 200 and the movable seat 500 are connected through the transmission component. When the first feeding seat 200 moves, it drives the movable seat 500 to move through the transmission component, and / or when the movable seat 500 moves, it drives the first feeding seat 200 to move through the transmission component.

[0058] In this embodiment, when one of the first feeding seat 200 and the movable seat 500 moves, the other of the first feeding seat 200 and the movable seat 500 moves through the transmission component, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the first feeding seat 200 and the movable seat 500 without the need for two separate drive mechanisms.

[0059] like Figures 1-5As shown, based on the above embodiment, the transmission component includes a transmission wheel 610 and a transmission belt 620. The number of transmission wheels 610 is at least two, with the two transmission wheels 610 located at both ends of the base 100. The transmission belt 620 is sleeved on each of the transmission wheels 610. The first feeding seat 200 and the movable seat 500 are both connected to the transmission belt 620.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first feed seat 200 is connected to the upper side of the transmission belt 620, and the movable seat 500 is connected to the lower side of the transmission belt 620. Therefore, the first feed seat 200 and the movable seat 500 can move in opposite directions, and the two first approach each other and then move away from each other.

[0061] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a driving component 700 is also included. The driving component 700 is connected to the base 100, and the output end of the driving component 700 is connected to the first feeding seat 200 or the movable seat 500. The driving component 700 can drive the first feeding seat 200 or the movable seat 500 to move relative to the base 100.

[0062] Specifically, the drive unit 700 can be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a linear module.

[0063] In this embodiment, the drive member 700 can drive the first feed seat 200 or the movable seat 500 to move relative to the base 100, and under the action of the transmission member, both can move together.
