[0027] Please see Figure 1 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automated feeding system for a pickle mold, comprising a support base 1 and a lower moving mechanism 2 disposed above the support base 1. An upper moving mechanism 3 and a feeding mechanism 4 located on one side of the upper moving mechanism 3 are disposed on the lower moving mechanism 2. The lower moving mechanism 2 includes two lower sliding rails 21 and lower sliding blocks 22 respectively disposed on the two lower sliding rails 21. The two lower sliding rails 21 are fixed to the upper end face of the support base 1. A base 23 is fixed on the two lower sliding blocks 22. A scissor lift platform 24 is installed on the base 23. A top seat 31 is fixed to the top of the scissor lift platform 24. The upper moving mechanism 3 includes a top seat 31, a hopper 37 disposed on the top seat 31, and a feeding hopper 38 fixed to the top of the hopper 37.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 Two first upper slide rails 32 are fixed on the top seat 31. A first motor 33 is installed on one of the first upper slide rails 32, and both first upper slide rails 32 are provided with upper sliders 34 driven by the first motor 33. A second upper slide rail 35 is fixed on the two upper sliders 34, and the two upper sliders 34 are symmetrical to the two ends of the second upper slide rail 35. A second motor 36 is installed on the second upper slide rail 35.

The technical principle of the first motor 33 driving the upper slider 34 to move and the second motor 36 driving the material bin 37 to move are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. For example, it can be achieved by the operation of a lead screw.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding platform 42 and side plates 41 fixed at both ends of the feeding platform 42. Both side plates 41 are fixed to the upper end face of the top seat 31, so that the structure of the side plates 41 and the feeding platform 42 remains stable.
[0030] Please see Figure 4The feeding mechanism 4 also includes multiple cylinders 43 fixed on the feeding platform 42. The output ends of the multiple cylinders 43 are fixedly connected to opening and closing plates 44. Each opening and closing plate 44 is provided with multiple upper receiving hoppers 45 and lower receiving hoppers 46 respectively provided at the bottom of the multiple upper receiving hoppers 45. The feeding platform 42 is provided with multiple sets of mounting holes 421. The multiple opening and closing plates 44 are respectively provided on the multiple sets of mounting holes 421, and each opening and closing plate 44 is provided with multiple opening and closing holes. 441, multiple opening and closing holes 441 on an opening and closing plate 44 correspond one-to-one with a set of mounting holes 421, that is, one mounting hole 421 corresponds to one opening and closing hole 441, and the opening and closing hole 441 is located above the mounting hole 421. The opening and closing plate 44 can be moved horizontally by the operation of the cylinder 43, thereby adjusting the positional relationship between the mounting hole 421 and the opening and closing hole 441. When the mounting hole 421 and the opening and closing hole 441 are aligned, the material can be loaded smoothly; otherwise, the material cannot be loaded.
[0031] Please see Figure 5 The upper hopper 45 is provided with a feed chute 451 that runs through both ends of it, and the lower end face of the upper hopper 45 is provided with an upper sliding groove 452.
[0032] Please see Figure 6 The lower receiving hopper 46 is provided with a receiving trough 461, and the upper end face of the lower receiving hopper 46 is provided with a sliding trough 462. The receiving trough 461 is connected to the feeding trough 451. The opening and closing plate 44 is provided between the upper sliding trough 452 and the sliding trough 462, and the opening and closing plate 44 is in contact with both the upper sliding trough 452 and the sliding trough 462, so that the material can enter the receiving trough 461 after entering the feeding trough 451.
[0033] Please see Figure 7 The lower hopper 46 is fixed inside the mounting hole 421.
[0034] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7In the operation of this utility model, the mold raw materials or semi-finished products to be added are added to the hopper 37 through the feeding hopper 38. The first motor 33 drives the two upper sliders 34 to move horizontally, causing the two discharge hoppers 39 to move in one direction. The second motor 36 drives the hopper 37 to move horizontally in another direction, so that the two discharge hoppers 39 can deliver the mold raw materials or semi-finished products to the upper receiving hoppers 45 at different positions for feeding. The mold raw materials or semi-finished products are then fed into the feeding trough 451 and finally into the receiving trough 461, completing the process of adding mold raw materials or semi-finished products. The material is loaded; after loading is completed, the two lower sliders 22 drive the base 23 and the scissor lift platform 24 to move horizontally (the technical principle of the movement of the lower slider 22 is the same as the technical principle of the movement of the upper slider 34, and it can also be achieved by motor drive. Its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). This allows the loading mechanism 4 and the mold raw materials or semi-finished products on it to move horizontally at any time. The operation of the scissor lift platform 24 can drive the loading mechanism 4 and the mold raw materials or semi-finished products on it to lift and lower, so as to send all the mold raw materials or semi-finished products after loading to the next equipment for processing.
