[0010] A receiving mechanism is located at the end of the second transmission mechanism away from the material receiving mechanism, and the receiving mechanism is capable of receiving the material conveyed by the second transmission mechanism.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is transported from the first transmission mechanism to the picking mechanism, placed on the second transmission mechanism, and then transported to the receiving mechanism for collection and unloading. The whole process does not require much manual intervention, which improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs and labor intensity.
[0012] In one embodiment, the base includes a support frame disposed at the upper end of the base, the first transmission mechanism is disposed on one side of the support frame along the width direction of the base, and the material picking mechanism is disposed on the other side of the support frame along the width direction.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a support frame is set on the base, and the first transmission mechanism and the material handling mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the support frame along the width direction of the base, leaving a gap between them. This layout provides sufficient space for the material handling mechanism to clamp materials and place them on the second transmission mechanism, ensuring the smooth operation of the material handling process, avoiding interference between the mechanisms, and improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.
[0014] In one embodiment, the first transmission mechanism includes transmission wheels and a transmission plate. The transmission wheels are arranged opposite each other in the width direction and spaced apart in the length direction. The transmission plate is disposed between the transmission wheels and drives along the length direction. The material is disposed on the transmission plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this design facilitates the control of the transmission plate's movement. The rotation of the transmission wheel drives the transmission plate along its length, thereby achieving material conveying. The transmission wheel configuration makes the transmission process more stable, enabling precise control of the transmission plate's speed and direction, and ensuring the accuracy of material conveying.
[0016] In one embodiment, the transmission plate is provided with a plurality of positioning holes and fixing holes, the transmission wheel is provided with a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions can extend into the positioning holes and drive the transmission plate to move along the length direction, and the first transmission mechanism further includes a fixing plate, the fixing plate is provided in the fixing hole and can fix the material.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning hole and the protrusion ensures a stable connection between the transmission plate and the transmission wheel, ensuring the accuracy of transmission; the fixed pressure plate can prevent the material from moving or falling during the conveying process, improving the safety and stability of material conveying and ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent material handling operations.

Furthermore, the clamping force of the grippers can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the materials to avoid damage to the materials.
[0022] In one embodiment, the second transmission mechanism includes a transmission member disposed on the base, one end of which is disposed on the lower side of the material taking member, and the other end extends along the length direction to the material receiving mechanism.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the material conveying path from the picking unit to the receiving mechanism is clarified, enabling the material to be smoothly conveyed from the picking position to the receiving position, thus ensuring the continuity and smoothness of the entire unloading process.

This design effectively ensures the positional accuracy of the material during the conveying process, avoiding conveying failures, damage, or difficulty in conveying due to material deviation, and improving the accuracy and stability of the conveying process.
[0026] In one embodiment, the receiving mechanism includes a vertical slide and a material box. The vertical slide is located at one end of the transmission member along its length, and the material box is located on the vertical slide. The vertical slide can control the material box to move up and down.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical slide of the receiving mechanism can control the material box to move up and down, so that the material box is vertically aligned with the transmission component. After the material enters the material box, the material box is controlled to move upward to ensure that the position to be loaded in the material box is aligned with the transmission component. This realizes automatic material collection and can accurately place the material in the material box, improving the collection efficiency and accuracy, while also facilitating subsequent material processing and management.

Detailed Implementation
[0043] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The automatic feeding device provided in this application will be described in further detail.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] Please see Figure 1-8 The automatic feeding device 1 provided in this application includes a base 11, a first transmission mechanism 12, a material picking mechanism 13, a second transmission mechanism 14, and a material receiving mechanism 15.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the base 11 serves as the foundation platform for the entire device, providing fixation and support for all components. The first transmission mechanism 12 is located on the upper side of the base 11 and is capable of conveying material 16 along the length of the base 11. The material handling mechanism 13 is located on the upper side of the base 11 and on one side of the first transmission mechanism 12, and is responsible for removing the material 16 from the first transmission mechanism 12.
[0047] Specifically, the base 11 includes a support frame 111, which is located at the upper end of the base 11. A first transmission mechanism 12 is located on one side of the support frame 111 along the width direction of the base 11, and a material-grabbing mechanism 13 is located on the other side of the support frame 111 along the width direction. This layout leaves a certain gap between the first transmission mechanism 12 and the material-grabbing mechanism 13, facilitating the material-grabbing mechanism 13 in gripping the material 16. The support frame 111 can be made of metal, possessing high strength and rigidity to ensure the stability of the entire device. Furthermore, the height of the support frame 111 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to working environments at different heights.
[0048] like Figure 3As shown, the first transmission mechanism 12 includes transmission wheels 121 and transmission plates 122. The transmission wheels 121 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction and spaced apart in the length direction. The transmission plates 122 are located between the transmission wheels 121 and drive the transmission along the length direction. The material 16 is placed on the transmission plates 122. The function of the transmission wheels 121 is to drive the transmission plates 122 to move by rotating, thereby realizing the transmission of the material 16. The transmission wheels 121 can be made of steel or other high-strength materials, and the surface is precision machined to ensure smoothness. The transmission plates 122 can be made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. To enhance friction, a rubber layer or plastic coating can be added to the surface of the transmission plates 122 to prevent the material 16 from slipping. In this embodiment, the transmission plate 122 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 1221 and fixing holes 1222 arranged in a row. The transmission wheel 121 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 1211, which can extend into the positioning holes 1221 and drive the transmission plate 122 to move along the length direction. The protrusions 1211 can be cylindrical or conical to facilitate smoother insertion into the positioning holes 1221. The first transmission mechanism 12 also includes a fixing plate 123, which is disposed in the fixing hole 1222 and can fix the material 16. The fixing hole 1222 is designed to better control the position of the material 16 and prevent deviation during transmission. The fixing plate 123 can be a spring sheet or an elastic rubber strip. When the material 16 is placed into the transmission plate 122, the fixing plate 123 and the transmission plate 122 will naturally press down on the material 16 to ensure its stability during transmission. The fixing plate 123 can also be equipped with a manual adjustment knob, allowing the operator to adjust the pressure according to the actual situation.
[0049] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the material handling mechanism 13 includes a rotating component 131 and a material handling component 132. The rotating component 131 is mounted on the support frame 111, and the material handling component 132 is located below the rotating component 131. The rotating component 131 can control the rotation of the material handling component 132, which can grip the material 16 from the first transmission mechanism 12 and rotate it to place it in the second transmission mechanism 14. In this embodiment, the rotating component 131 is a rotating shaft with a motor. The motor is connected to the rotating shaft through a reducer to ensure smooth and reliable rotation. A telescopic rod 133 is provided on the rotating shaft, and one end of the telescopic rod 133 is fixed to the material handling component 132. Specifically, the material handling component 132 includes a gripper 1321 and a cylinder 1322. The gripper 1321 is divided into a fixed end 1323 and a moving end 1324. The cylinder 1322 is connected to the moving end 1324, and the movement of the moving end 1324 is controlled by the action of the cylinder 1322, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the gripper 1321. The gripper 1321 can be made of high-hardness alloy steel to withstand greater clamping force. At the same time, anti-slip pads are added to the contact surface to increase friction and prevent material 16 from falling off.
[0050] The second transmission mechanism 14 is located on the base 11 and below the material-picking mechanism 13, and can receive and transport the material 16 transferred by the material-picking mechanism 13. Specifically, the second transmission mechanism 14 includes a transmission component 141, which is located on the base 11. One end of the transmission component 141 is located below the material-picking component 132, and the other end extends along the length direction to the receiving mechanism 15. In this embodiment, the transmission component 141 includes a baffle 1411 and a conveyor belt 1412. Two baffles 1411 are located on the base 11 and are opposite each other along the width direction. Both baffles 1411 extend along the length direction. The conveyor belt 1412 is located on the inner wall of the baffle 1411 and transports materials along the length direction. The material of the conveyor belt 1412 needs to have good wear resistance and fatigue resistance, such as polyurethane or nylon.
[0051] The second transmission mechanism 14 also includes a fastening device 142 and a moving member 143. The fastening device 142 is located at the upper end of the transmission member 141, and the moving member 143 is connected to the fastening device 142 and can control the fastening device 142 to open or close to both sides. In this embodiment, the fastening device 142 consists of two parallel clamping plates, which are respectively located at the upper ends of two baffles. The moving member 143 corresponds to the clamping plates one by one and is located on the outside of the two clamping plates. The moving member 143 is located on the base 11 and can move along the width direction, so that the two clamping plates open or close relative to each other. The two clamping plates are also provided with positioning posts. There are multiple positioning posts, which extend along the length direction. Under normal circumstances, the positioning posts on the two clamping plates can abut against both ends of the material 16. The fastening device 142 can initially fix the material 16, so that the material 16 can fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt of the transmission member 141, and prevent the material 16 from shifting when the transmission member 141 moves.
[0052] like Figures 7 to 8As shown, the receiving mechanism 15 is located at the end of the second transmission mechanism 14 away from the picking mechanism 13, and is used to receive the material 16 conveyed by the second transmission mechanism 14. Specifically, the receiving mechanism 15 includes a vertical slide 151 and a material box 152. The material box 152 is located on the vertical slide 151, which can control the vertical movement of the material box 152. The vertical slide 151 can be a slider and a slide rail. The material box 152 is located on the slider, which is also equipped with a motor. The motor drives the slider to move on the slide rail and move the material box 152. The material box 152 can be equipped with a partition to store different types or specifications of material 16 separately, improving space utilization. The material box 152 can also be equipped with opposing slots, which are spaced apart along the height direction. The two ends of the material 16 are fixed in the slots respectively. The stroke range of the vertical slide 151 should be greater than the maximum capacity of the material box 152 to meet the needs of continuous operation. The receiving mechanism 15 also includes a horizontal slide 153, which is located at the lower end of the vertical slide 151. The function of the horizontal slide 153 is to adjust the horizontal alignment between the material box 152 and the transmission component 141, ensuring that the material 16 can accurately fall into the target position each time.
[0053] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Through the coordinated work of the above-mentioned parts, this embodiment realizes a highly efficient automatic feeding device 1. First, the material 16 enters the first transmission mechanism 12 from the outside and is fixed with the fixed pressure plate 123. The transmission wheel 121 rotates, driving the transmission plate 122 and the material 16 to move along the length direction. After reaching the position of the picking mechanism 13, the rotating component 131 controls the picking component 132 to rotate counterclockwise and face the material 16. Then, the telescopic rod 133 extends, causing the gripper 1321 to move towards the material 16. The moving end 1324 of the gripper 1321 opens and then closes under the drive of the cylinder 1322, finally gripping the material 16. The telescopic rod 133 retracts. The rotating component 131 rotates clockwise, causing the material 16 to face the clamping plate. The telescopic rod 133 extends and places the material 16 on the two clamping plates. The positioning pins abut against the material 16 to prevent it from shifting. Then, the two clamping plates move outwards via the moving part 143, causing the material 16 to fall into the transmission part 141 and be transported into the material box 152. Once a material 16 is loaded into the material box 152, the vertical slide 151 controls the material box 152 to move upwards to receive new material 16. The horizontal slide 153 controls the horizontal position of the vertical slide 151, thereby aligning the material box 152 with the transmission part 141. The entire process requires no manual intervention, is highly automated, reduces costs, improves the stability and accuracy of material 16 transmission, and greatly improves production efficiency and product quality.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
