[0049] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a hopper device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1As shown, this utility model proposes a hopper device 100. The first moving component 20 of the hopper device 100 includes a first moving member 21 and a first supporting member 22. The first moving member 21 is connected to the frame 10 and can move along a first direction X. The first supporting member 22 is located at the top of the first moving member 21 and can move with the first moving member 21. The first lifting component 30 includes a first lifting member 31 and a first supporting member. The first lifting member 31 is connected to the frame 10 and can move along the height direction Y of the frame. The first supporting member is located on the first lifting member 31 and can rise and fall with the first lifting member 31. The first moving member 21 is used to lift the full-load tray of the first supporting member 22. The material is transferred to the first support member. The first material picking assembly 40 includes a first material picking member and a first connecting member 44. The first connecting member 44 is connected to the frame 10. The first material picking member is located on the side of the first connecting member 44 facing the first support member and can move toward the first support member to pick up the full-load material tray of the first support member. The transfer member 50 is connected to the frame 10 and is located between the first material picking member and the first support member along the second direction Z. The transfer member 50 can move along the second direction Z to pick up the full-load material tray of the first material picking member and transfer it. The first direction X, the height direction Y of the frame, and the second direction Z are arranged to intersect each other.

[0050] By using the hopper device 100 in this technical solution, the first support member 22 can move along the first direction X with the first moving member 21 to dock with the full-loaded material tray of the external mobile device and move the full-loaded material tray to the first support member. Then, the first lifting member 31 can lift the full-loaded material tray on the first support member to the position corresponding to the first picking member, so that the first picking member can pick up the full-loaded material tray. Then, the transfer member 50 moves the full-loaded material tray of the first picking member along the second direction Z, which is convenient for operators to pick up materials and improves the work efficiency and automation level.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tray has a single structure. A tray containing material is defined as a full tray, and a tray from which material has been removed is defined as an empty tray.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first moving member 21, the first lifting member 31, the first picking member, and the transferring member 50 are all driven by driving components such as motors or cylinders. The first moving member 21 can be a moving plate or a moving rod; any structure that can be driven by a driving component and move the first supporting member 22 is within the protection scope of this utility model. The first lifting member 31 can be a lifting plate or a lifting rod; any structure that can be driven by a driving component and move the first supporting member 31 up and down is within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hopper device 100 also includes:

[0054] The second material handling component 60 includes a second material handling member and a second connecting member. The second connecting member is connected to the frame 10. The second material handling member is located at the bottom end of the second connecting member and can correspond to the transfer member 50 along the height direction Y of the frame. The second material handling member is used to pick up the empty material tray after the transfer member 50 has picked up the material.

[0055] The second lifting assembly 70 includes a second lifting member and a second support member. The second lifting member is connected to the frame 10 and can move along the height direction Y of the frame. The second support member is disposed on the lifting member and can be lifted and lowered with the second lifting member. The second support member is used to receive and lift the empty material tray of the second material picking member.

[0056] The second moving component 80 includes a second moving member and a second supporting member. The second moving member is connected to the frame 10 and can move along the first direction X. The second supporting member is located at the top of the second moving member and can move with the moving member. The second supporting member is used to receive the empty tray of the second support member and transfer it along the first direction X.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second moving member, the second lifting member, and the second picking member are all driven by driving components such as motors or cylinders. The second moving member can be a moving plate or a moving rod; any structure that can be driven by a driving component and move the second support member is within the protection scope of this utility model. The second lifting member can be a lifting plate or a lifting rod; any structure that can be driven by a driving component and move the second support member up and down is within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the full-loaded tray on the transfer member 50 is taken out, it becomes an empty tray. Then, the transfer member 50 moves the empty tray below the second picking member, enabling the second picking member to pick up the empty tray. Then, the transfer member 50 moves away along the second direction Z, and the second picking member can release the empty tray and place it on the second support member. Then, the empty tray on the second support member is moved down by the second lifting member and placed on the second support member of the second moving member. When the above process is repeated and there are enough empty trays on the second support member, the second moving member can move along the first direction X, which makes it convenient for the operator to take out multiple empty trays.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the empty tray on the transfer member 50 is removed, it will move to the bottom of the first picking member to pick up the full tray and move it again to the picking area between the first picking member and the second picking member, so as to facilitate the operator to pick up the material.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, a material handling area is formed between the first material handling component 40 and the second material handling component 60, and the transfer component 50 moves to this area to facilitate the operator to handle the material from the full-load tray.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second moving member, the second lifting member, and the second picking member are all driven by driving components such as motors or cylinders.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the first and second support members include a first frame 321 and a second frame 322. The first frame 321 and the second frame 322 are spaced apart along the second direction Z, and a receiving space 33 is formed between the first frame 321 and the second frame 322. The top of the first frame 321 and the top of the second frame 322 are used to place an empty tray or a full tray. In this embodiment, the receiving space 33 of the first support member facilitates the reception of the first moving member 21. When the first moving member 21 moves to the receiving space 33, the full tray of the first support member 22 on the first moving member 21 can be placed on the first support member, and then the full tray can be lifted or lowered by the first lifting member 31. Similarly, the receiving space 33 of the second support member facilitates the reception of the second moving member. When the second lifting member moves the empty tray of the second support member to the second support member, the second moving member is located in the receiving space 33 of the second support member. At this time, the movement of the second moving member along the first direction X can drive the empty tray located thereon to move.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the accommodating space 33 of the first frame 321 can prevent interference between the first moving member 21 and the first frame 321, and the accommodating space 33 of the second frame 322 can prevent interference between the second moving member and the second frame 322.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first frame 321 and the second frame 322 are movable relative to each other. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the distance between the first frame 321 and the second frame 322 to be adjustable, thereby adapting to more trays of different sizes along the second direction Z, improving versatility and applicability.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first lifting member 31 or the second lifting member can be provided with multiple sets of mounting holes 4111 that are different along the second direction Z. By different mounting positions with the first support member or the second support member, the function of being compatible with material trays of different sizes along the second direction Z can be achieved.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, both the first and second material handling components include a mounting plate 41 and multiple suction components 42. The mounting plate 41 is connected to the frame 10, and the multiple suction components 42 are spaced apart at the bottom end of the mounting plate 41. The multiple suction components 42 are used to pick up full or empty material trays. In this embodiment, the suction component 42 can be a suction cup, which is positioned facing the first support member and can pick up the full material tray on the raised first support member. Then, the first lifting member 31 is lowered, and the transfer member 50 is moved along the second direction Z to below the multiple suction cups, so that the full material tray picked up by the suction cups can be placed on the transfer member 50.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the suction cup and the mounting plate 41 are connected by an adjusting member 43. The adjusting member 43 is designed with a first elongated hole 432 and a second elongated hole 431. The first elongated hole 432 is used to adjust the installation position of the suction cup, and the second elongated hole 431 is connected to the mounting plate 41 by bolts. The mounting plate 41 has multiple sets of mounting hole groups 411 around its circumference. Each set of mounting hole groups 411 includes multiple spaced circular mounting holes 4111. In conjunction with the second elongated hole 431 on the suction cup adjusting strip, the suction cup can be installed at multiple angles and is compatible with different sized trays.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the first support member 22 and the second support member include a first support portion 221 and a second support portion 222, which are arranged along the second direction Z and are movable relative to each other. In this embodiment, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 are movable relative to each other along the second direction Z, thereby enabling the first support member 22 and the second support member to adapt to trays of different sizes in the second direction Z, improving versatility and applicability.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 include a first split portion 2211 and a second split portion 2212, which are arranged along the first direction X and are movable relative to each other. The ability of the first split portion 2211 and the second split portion 2212 to move relative to each other along the first direction X allows the first support member 22 and the second support member to adapt to trays of different sizes along the first direction X, further improving the versatility and applicability of the first support member 22 and the second support member.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 can be adjusted in the second direction Z by means of an elongated hole to change their mounting positions with the first moving member 21, thereby achieving a change in the relative position of the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 along the second direction Z. The first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 can also change their mounting positions with the first moving member 21 in the first direction X by changing the array holes, thereby achieving a change in the relative position of the first support portion 221 and the second support portion 222 along the first direction X.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transfer member 50 includes a main body 51, a plurality of first limiting parts 52, and a plurality of second limiting parts 53. The plurality of first limiting parts 52 are respectively disposed on both sides of the top of the main body 51 along the second direction Z, and the plurality of second limiting parts 53 are respectively disposed on both sides of the top of the main body 51 along the first direction X. The plurality of first limiting parts 52 and the plurality of second limiting parts 53 together enclose a limiting space. In this embodiment, the limiting space is set according to the corresponding tray size, which enables a full or empty tray to be accurately located in the limiting space. The first limiting parts 52 can limit the second direction Z, and the second limiting parts 53 can limit the first direction X, thereby improving the stability of the tray.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the main body 51 is provided with a first groove 511 extending along the second direction Z. A plurality of first limiting parts 52 are provided with a first positioning platform on the side facing the main body 51. The first positioning platform is slidably disposed within the first groove 511 along the second direction Z. In this embodiment, the insertion arrangement of the first groove 511 and the first positioning platform allows the first limiting parts 52 to move along the second direction Z, thereby adjusting the maximum size of the limiting space along the second direction Z, so that the transfer member 50 can adapt to trays of various sizes.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a second groove 512 extending along the first direction X is provided at the top of the main body 51. A second positioning platform is provided on the side of a plurality of second limiting parts 53 facing the main body 51. The second positioning platform is slidably disposed within the second groove 512 along the first direction X. In this embodiment, the insertion and connection of the second groove 512 and the second positioning platform allows the second limiting parts 53 to move along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the maximum size of the limiting space along the first direction X, and further enabling the transfer member 50 to adapt to trays of various sizes.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, the hopper device 100 also includes a material distribution assembly 90, which includes a first material distribution component 91 and a second material distribution component 92. The first material distribution component 91 and the second material distribution component 92 are respectively connected to the frame 10.

The first material distribution component 91 has a first material distribution portion 911, and the second material distribution component 92 has a second material distribution portion 921. The first material distribution portion 911 and the second material distribution portion 921 are movable relative to each other. In this embodiment, multiple full-load trays are placed on the first support member. When adjacent trays are interlocked, the first material distribution portion 911 and the second material distribution portion 921 can move relative to each other and insert into the gap between adjacent trays, thereby realizing the material distribution operation of multiple trays.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first material distribution unit 911 and the second material distribution unit 921 can be driven by a drive component such as a motor or a cylinder.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material distribution component 90 further includes a first slide rail 93 and a second slide rail 94. Both the first slide rail 93 and the second slide rail 94 are connected to the frame 10 and can move relative to the frame 10 along the height direction Y of the frame. Both the first slide rail 93 and the second slide rail 94 extend along the first direction X and are located on both sides of the first support member along the second direction Z. In this embodiment, the first slide rail 93 and the second slide rail 94 can respectively drive the first material distribution component 91 and the second material distribution component 92 to move along the height direction Y of the frame, better cooperating with the full-load tray on the first support member for material distribution. Furthermore, the first material distribution component 91 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 93 and can move along the first direction X, and the second material distribution component 92 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 94 and can move along the first direction X, enabling better adaptation to full-load trays of different sizes and performing material distribution operations.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first slide rail 93 and the second slide rail 94 are respectively provided with connecting parts 95 at both ends. The connecting parts 95 are connected to the frame 10. The connecting parts 95 have a third elongated hole 951 extending along the height direction Y of the frame.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, there can be multiple first material distribution components 91 and multiple second material distribution components 92. Multiple first material distribution components 91 are arranged along the first direction X, and multiple second material distribution components 92 are arranged along the first direction X.

[0079] Furthermore, the operating procedure of the silo device 100 of this utility model is as follows:

[0080] The first support member 22 on the first moving member 21 moves along the first direction X to carry multiple fully loaded trays arranged along the height direction Y of the frame, which are transported manually or by AGV. Then, the first moving member 21 moves to the receiving space 33 of the first support member. At this time, the multiple fully loaded trays on the first support member 22 are located above the first support member. Then, by lifting the first lifting member 31, the multiple fully loaded trays are lifted to the position corresponding to the first picking member. The first picking member descends and uses a suction cup to pick up the top full loaded tray. After picking up, the first picking member is lifted and waits for the transfer member 50 to move to the bottom of the first picking member. The first picking member descends to pick up the full loaded tray. The empty tray is placed in the limited space on the transfer component 50 and moved to the material tray to the material picking area to cooperate with other material picking mechanisms. After the material picking is completed, the empty tray is moved by the transfer component 50 to the bottom of the second material picking component. The second material picking component descends, picks up the empty tray through the suction cup, and then lifts it up. After the transfer component 50 is removed, the second material picking component descends and places the empty tray on the second support component of the second lifting component 70. If the empty tray on the second support component is filled with material after multiple cycles, the second lifting component drives the second support component to place multiple empty trays on the second support component. Then the second support component is driven by the second moving component and moves the empty tray out of the equipment. When moving out, the empty tray can be transported away by AGV or manually.

[0081] Specifically, for material trays that are interlocked by interlocking, the first material separating component 91 and the second material separating component 92 need to move relative to each other to remove the topmost full material tray from the multiple full material trays on the first support component, and then pick up the material by the first material picking component.

[0082] Furthermore, the hopper device 100 of this utility model is compatible with tray sizes of (80-430)mm*(185-540)mm. By increasing the size of each component, the compatible tray size can be further increased. The hopper device 100 can also achieve non-stop material changing. Both the first moving component 20 and the second moving component 80 can dock with AGVs to achieve non-stop loading and unloading. Secondly, the first separating component 91 and the second separating component 92 can mechanically separate trays with interlocking grooves. The hopper device 100's single structure can accommodate both soft and hard trays. Additionally, the frame 10's main body is made of welded square tubing, increasing the structural stability of the hopper device 100. Through the design of this new structure and solution, the hopper device 100 possesses significant advantages among hopper devices in the 3C industry. It not only solves technical problems in industry applications but also has the advantage of structural stability compared to other 3C industry hopper devices.

[0083] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
