[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model embodiment provides an automated loading and unloading device for a magazine-type hopper, which includes an operating table 1 with an opening 11 and a loading module 2 located on the operating table 1 behind the opening 11.

[0025] The unloading module 2 includes a support platform 21, which is I-shaped. A drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the rear of the support platform 21. A gear 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 22 via a rotating shaft. There are two gears 23, and the other one is rotatably connected to the support platform 21. Both gears 23 are located on the front side of the support platform 21 and are meshed with a toothed conveyor belt 24. The toothed conveyor belt 24 is made of rubber and has teeth on its inner side that are compatible with the gear 23. A sliding guide plate 25 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support platform 21. An mounting block 26 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the toothed conveyor belt 24. The mounting block 26 is U-shaped and has its opening facing downward. The mounting block 26 is slidably connected to the sliding guide plate 25 and has a lifting cylinder 27 fixedly connected to its upper side. An extension plate 28 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 27. A mechanical claw 29 is fixedly connected to the other end of the extension plate 28. A material support mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the support platform 21 located below the mechanical claw 29.

[0026] The material support mechanism 7 includes a support frame 71, with a support platform 21 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 71 and a material support plate 72 slidably connected to the upper end. The material support plate 72 is U-shaped in general, and a correction cylinder is provided in the middle position. The correction cylinder is a two-finger cylinder, and the two fingers at the output end are fixedly connected to the material support plate 72 respectively.

[0027] Above the unloading module 2 is a conveying module 5. The conveying module 5 includes a mounting plate 51, which is L-shaped and its lower end is fixedly connected to the operating table 1. A second guide rail 52 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate 51. A cylinder 54 that can move up and down is fixedly connected to the front side of the second guide rail 52, and a second rodless cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the right end. A gripping mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 54 that can move up and down.

[0028] The gripping mechanism 6 includes a finger cylinder 61, and a claw assembly 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the finger cylinder 61. The claw assembly 62 consists of connecting rods and claws. There are two connecting rods, which are arranged parallel to each other. The upper side of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the finger cylinder 61, and the lower side is fixedly connected to the claws. There are four claws.

[0029] The lower side of the operating table 1 is provided with a hopper lifting mechanism 3; the hopper lifting mechanism 3 includes a first guide rail 31, a hopper lifting platform 33 is slidably connected to the outer side of the first guide rail 31, and a first rodless cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the lower end; a clip-type hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the hopper lifting platform 33.

[0030] The hopper lifting mechanism 3 passes through the opening 11 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring clip hopper 4. A thin-film resistor 41 is slidably connected inside the spring clip hopper 4. A clamping platform 8 is provided on the operating table 1 located inside the unloading module 2. Limiting cylinders 81 are fixedly connected to the front and right sides of the clamping platform 8. The two limiting cylinders 81 move synchronously. There are two limiting cylinders 81 and three positioning pins on the clamping platform 8. The three positioning pins are arranged in a right-angled triangle and are used as a reference for the backing side. The other two limiting cylinders 81 push in opposite directions, front and back, left and right, respectively. In cooperation with the positioning pins, they clamp the single resistor on the clamping platform 8. There are negative pressure adsorption pores on the clamping platform 8 at the positions corresponding to the single resistor. These pores will use negative pressure airflow to adsorb the single resistor under negative pressure and fix the single resistor on the clamping platform 8.

[0031] Working principle: When loading, the worker puts the thin-film resistor 41 into the clip-type hopper 4. The clip-type hopper 4 will move up and down under the drive of the first rodless cylinder 32 and the hopper lifting platform 33, and move or stop according to the spacing of the individual resistors, stopping at a suitable height to facilitate the next step of mechanical claw 29 to pick up and put out the material.

[0032] During operation, the drive motor 22 is started. Under the action of the drive motor 22, the mechanical claw 29, driven by the gear 23 and the toothed conveyor belt 24, moves the mounting block 26, causing the mechanical claw 29 to extend into the cartridge-type hopper 4 (the height of the mechanical claw 29 is slightly lower than that of the single resistor). Then, the lifting cylinder 27 lifts it up, raising the single resistor. The drive motor 22 is started again, causing it to drive the mechanical claw 29 to remove the single resistor from the hopper and place it on the support plate 72. At this time, the correction cylinder is started, and under its action, the support plates 72 on both sides are controlled. The support plates 72 tighten inward to clamp the single resistor, and then release to correct the position of the single resistor.

[0033] After the single resistor position is corrected, the gripping mechanism 6, driven by the transport module 5, moves to above the single resistor. Through the action of the up-down cylinder 54 and the finger cylinder 61, the single resistor is gripped and lifted. Then, driven by the transport module 5, the single resistor is transported to above the clamping platform 8. Then, through two limit cylinders 81, the single resistor is fixed on the clamping platform 8. The clamping platform 8 has two limit cylinders 81 and three positioning pins. The three positioning pins are arranged in a right triangle and are used as a reference for the upper side. The other two limit cylinders 81 push in opposite directions, front and back, left and right, respectively, and cooperate with the positioning pins to clamp the single resistor on the clamping platform 8.

[0034] On the clamping platform 8, at the position corresponding to the single resistor, there are air holes for negative pressure adsorption. These air holes will be filled with negative pressure airflow to adsorb the single resistor under negative pressure, fix the single resistor on the clamping platform 8, and process it through other equipment. After the processing is completed, the single resistor is put back into the spring-loaded hopper 4 by operating in the above process.

[0035] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
