Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sorting machine feeding equipment, specifically an automatic feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Solar photovoltaic modules are an important component of solar photovoltaic power generation components, which can convert light energy into electrical energy. After performance testing, solar photovoltaic modules need to be packaged into material tubes for further transportation and use. Workers often use sorting equipment to transport the material tubes, and the sorting equipment needs to be loaded with materials during use.

[0003] In the existing technology, sorting equipment can automate the feeding of solar photovoltaic modules. However, when sorting photovoltaic modules on the market, there are many sorting mechanisms, but these mechanisms are unstable in tube replacement, unstable in product separation, and have a high material loss rate, resulting in significant product loss.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism, comprising: a mounting plate 2, a guide frame 20 fixedly mounted on the upper part of one side of the mounting plate 2, a feeding channel opened in the middle of one side of the guide frame 20, a lifting cylinder 17 fixedly mounted on one side of the guide frame 20, a pressing cylinder 4 fixedly mounted on the upper part of one side of the guide frame 20, a blocking cylinder 6, an air blowing block 5 and a position sensor 19 arranged sequentially from left to right on the upper part of one side of the guide frame 20, a jamming sensor 7 fixedly mounted on both the front and rear parts of one side of the guide frame 20, and a frame 13, the frame 13 fixedly mounted on the other side of the top of the mounting plate 2, uprights 15 symmetrically fixedly mounted on the frame 13, a feeding groove 8 opened in the middle of the side of the uprights 15 close to each other, a branch pipe cylinder 12 installed at the rear of the other side of the frame 13, and a push pipe cylinder 11 installed at the front of the other side of the frame 13.

[0024] Several product tubes are stacked in the feeding trough 8. The bottom of the tube has a tube groove on the transfer plate 10. The transfer plate 10 is fixed on the linear bearing seat and is connected by a cylinder to move back and forth. The tube groove on the transfer plate 10 is the same thickness as the tube. Only one tube can be moved out at a time. The second tube will be restricted by the baffles on both sides of the feeding trough 8. The tube groove is designed with a tube-dividing mechanism at the front and back. Before the transfer plate 10 moves, the tube-dividing mechanism will raise the second tube to prevent the tubes from biting each other. When the transfer plate 10 moves to the end position, the tube end is designed with a tube-pushing mechanism to push the tube to the track surface. The tube-pressing mechanism at the front end of the tube presses down. The tube-pressing mechanism uses a cylinder and slide rail design to ensure that the pressing block does not shake. The pressing block has a limit groove to hold the tube and prevent the tube from deviating to the left or right. The tube-lifting cylinder closes and the tube-pressing mechanism rotates around the center of the track to the track interface. The product in the tube slides down into the track by gravity. A photoelectric sensor is designed at the interface to promptly alarm when jamming occurs.

[0025] The feeding channel is curved downwards in the middle relative to the horizontal plane. The inside of the feeding channel is a hollow material channel. The feeding channel is hollow. Mounting boxes 1 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the frame 13. A motor 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the guide frame 20. A cam 18 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the motor 3. A pipe-moving cylinder 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the frame 13. A connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the pipe-moving cylinder 9. A material-moving plate 10 is installed on the upper part of the connecting plate 16. A material pipe groove is opened on the upper part of the material-moving plate 10. A receiving box 14 is fixedly installed on the other side of the lower part of the mounting plate 2 for receiving materials.

[0026] After all the products in the feed tube have slid out, the lifting cylinder opens, the feed tube falls, and the transfer plate 10 repeatedly feeds in another feed tube. At this time, the empty tube from before is pushed out and slides into the receiving trough. The products are blown forward in the track using air blowing. When the material reaches the front end, the material arrival sensor detects the product, and the pressing mechanism presses down to hold the second product. The motor 3 drives the cam 18 to rotate, and the cam 18 drives the linear slide rail to move forward. The suction block is fixed on the slide rail, and the first piece of material is vacuum-held in the suction block. When the suction block opens forward, the material will not fall. The suction block has limiters on both sides to prevent the material from wobbling and ensure the accuracy of the material position. After the material reaches the picking position and is sucked away, the motor 3 rotates in the opposite direction to the receiving position. At this time, a sensor will detect whether the receiving position has been reached. The pressing mechanism will release and put in another piece of material. The pressing mechanism uses a cylinder slide rail. The cylinder shaft is designed with a buffer spring to prevent the material from being crushed. The height of the pressing block can be adjusted. If wear occurs, it can be adjusted downwards to continue use.

[0027] In actual use, several product tubes are stacked in the feeding trough 8. The bottom of the tube has a transfer plate 10 with a tube groove, connected by a transfer cylinder 9. The transfer plate 10 moves back and forth. When the transfer plate 10 reaches its final position, a tube-pushing mechanism at the end of the tube pushes the tube onto the track surface. The tube-pressing mechanism at the front of the tube presses down, the tube-lifting cylinder closes, and the pressing mechanism rotates around the track center to the track interface. The product inside the tube slides down into the track by gravity. After all the product inside the tube has slid down, the tube-lifting cylinder opens, the tube falls, and the transfer plate 10 repeats the process, feeding in another tube. At this point, the empty tube will be pushed out and slide into the receiving trough. When the material reaches the front end, the position sensor 19 detects the product, and the pressing mechanism presses down to hold the second product. The motor 3 drives the cam 18 to rotate, and the cam 18 drives the linear slide rail to move forward. The suction block is fixed on the slide rail. The first material is vacuumed in the suction block. After the material reaches the picking position and is sucked away, the motor 3 rotates in the opposite direction to the receiving position. At this time, a sensor will detect whether the mechanism has reached the receiving position. The pressing mechanism will release and put in another material. This process can be repeated.
