[0033] This application provides a material pouring device and an automatic feeding device including the material pouring device. Figure 1 An embodiment of an automatic feeding device is shown. Figure 2 An embodiment of the material pouring device is shown.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a material pouring device 100 in one embodiment includes a first mounting base 110, a lifting and rotating mechanism 120, an adsorption mechanism 130, a first clamping mechanism 140, and a second clamping mechanism 150.

[0035] The first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 are movably connected to the first mounting base 110. The first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 can move closer together or further apart. The first clamping mechanism 140 includes a first rotating component 141 and a first gripper 142. The first rotating component 141 is connected to the first gripper 142 to drive the first gripper 142 to rotate about a horizontal rotation axis. The second clamping mechanism 150 includes a second rotating component 151 and a second gripper 152. The second rotating component 151 is connected to the second gripper 152 to drive the second gripper 152 to rotate about a horizontal rotation axis.

[0036] The lifting and rotating mechanism 120 is connected to the first mounting base 110. The adsorption mechanism 130 is connected to the lifting and rotating mechanism 120 and is located between the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152. The lifting and rotating mechanism 120 can drive the adsorption mechanism 130 to lift and rotate about a vertical rotating axis.

[0037] "Horizontal rotation axis" refers to a rotation axis that extends in the horizontal direction. "Vertical rotation axis" refers to a rotation axis that extends in the vertical direction.

[0038] The aforementioned pouring device 100 is equipped with a lifting and rotating mechanism 120 and an adsorption mechanism 130. When the lid of the material bucket is opened, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120 drives the adsorption mechanism 130 to descend, and the adsorption mechanism 130 adsorbs the lid. Subsequently, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120 drives the adsorption mechanism 130 to rotate around a vertical rotating axis to open the lid. The aforementioned pouring device 100 is equipped with a first clamping mechanism 140 and a second clamping mechanism 150. When pouring material from the bucket, the first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 move closer together to clamp the bucket body. Subsequently, the first rotating component 141 drives the first gripper 142 to rotate around a horizontal rotating axis, and the second rotating component 151 drives the second gripper 152 to rotate around a horizontal rotating axis, so that the bucket body tilts and the adhesive is poured out. The aforementioned pouring device 100 can achieve automatic pouring, saving manpower.

[0039] In some examples, the suction mechanism 130 includes a suction nozzle that draws the lid in by creating a negative pressure. The suction nozzle is made of, for example, rubber.

[0040] In some examples, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120 includes a first lifting component and a third rotating component. The first lifting component is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 130 to lift. The third rotating component is used to drive the adsorption mechanism 130 to rotate.

[0041] The third rotating component can be, for example, but is not limited to, a rotating motor.

[0042] In some examples, both the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 are arc-shaped plate structures, with their arc-shaped openings facing each other. This allows the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 to grip the body of a circular material container. In other examples, the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 are not limited to arc-shaped plate structures; their shapes can be specifically designed according to the shape of the material container's body.

[0043] The first rotating component 141 and the second rotating component 151 can be, for example, but not limited to, a rotating motor.

[0044] In some examples, a first pressure detector (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first gripper 142 and / or the second gripper 152. When the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 engage to clamp the material bucket, the first pressure detector is subjected to force. When the force value detected by the first pressure detector reaches a first set value, the first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 stop moving towards each other. This avoids damage caused by over-clamping the material bucket.

[0045] In some examples, the first clamping mechanism 140 further includes a second lifting component 143. The second lifting component 143 is movably connected to the first mounting base 110. The first rotating component 141 is connected to the second lifting component 143. The second lifting component 143 is movable on the first mounting base 110, allowing the entire first clamping mechanism 140 to move on the first mounting base 110. The second lifting component 143 is used to drive the first rotating component 141 and the first gripper 142 to rise and fall.

[0046] Similarly, the second clamping mechanism 150 also includes a third lifting component 153. The third lifting component 153 is movably connected to the first mounting base 110. The second rotating component 151 is connected to the third lifting component 153. The third lifting component 153 is movable on the first mounting base 110, allowing the entire second clamping mechanism 150 to move on the first mounting base 110. The third lifting component 153 is used to drive the first rotating component 141 and the second gripper 152 to rise and fall.

[0047] The second lifting component 143 and the third lifting component 153 are used to adjust the height of the corresponding grippers to facilitate better picking up and placing of the material bucket and pouring of materials.

[0048] In some examples, the first mounting base 110 includes a slide rail, and the second lifting component 143 and the third lifting component 153 are respectively slidably engaged with the first mounting base 110.

[0049] In some examples, the material pouring device 100 also includes a first transfer mechanism 160. The first transfer mechanism 160 is connected to the first mounting base 110 to drive the first mounting base 110, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120, the adsorption mechanism 130, the first clamping mechanism 140, and the second clamping mechanism 150 to move as a whole.

[0050] In some examples, the first transfer mechanism 160 includes a fourth lifting component 161. The fourth lifting component 161 is connected to the first mounting base 110 to drive the first mounting base 110, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120, the suction mechanism 130, the first clamping mechanism 140, and the second clamping mechanism 150 to move horizontally as a whole. The first transfer mechanism 160 also includes a first lateral movement component 162, which is connected to the fourth lifting component 161 to drive the fourth lifting component 161, the first mounting base 110, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120, the suction mechanism 130, the first clamping mechanism 140, and the second clamping mechanism 150 to move horizontally as a whole. In some examples, the first lateral movement component 162 includes a slide rail, specifically, for example, a longitudinal slide rail and a transverse slide rail connected perpendicularly, with the fourth lifting component 161 slidingly engaging with the first lateral movement component 162.

[0051] In some examples, the dispensing device 100 also includes a weight detection component (not shown in the figure). The weight detection component detects the weight of the material container held by the first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150. During the dispensing process, when the weight detection component detects that the weight has decreased to a second set value, it determines that dispensing is complete. At this time, the first rotating component 141 drives the first gripper 142 to rotate and reset, and the second rotating component 151 drives the second gripper 152 to rotate and reset, so that the material container returns to its upright position. This design ensures accurate addition of the adhesive and avoids adhesive waste.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic feeding device 10 of one embodiment includes a feeding device 200, a conveying device 300, and a discharging device 100 of any of the above examples.

[0053] The feeding device 200 is used to feed the material buckets onto the conveying device 300. The conveying device 300 is used to convey the material buckets to the unloading station. The unloading device 100 is used to unload the material buckets at the unloading station.

[0054] In some examples, the conveying device 300 includes a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is, for example, a rubber conveyor belt.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some examples, the feeding device 200 includes a second transfer mechanism 210, a second mounting base 220, a third clamping mechanism 230, and a fourth clamping mechanism 240. The third clamping mechanism 230 and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 are movably connected to the second mounting base 220, and the third clamping mechanism 230 and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 can move closer to or further away from each other. The second transfer mechanism 210 is connected to the second mounting base 220 to drive the second mounting base 220, the third clamping mechanism 230, and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 to move as a whole.

[0056] In some examples, the third clamping mechanism 230 includes a fifth lifting component 231 and a third gripper 232. The fifth lifting component 231 is connected to the second mounting base 220 and is also connected to the third gripper 232 for driving the third gripper 232 to move up and down. The fourth clamping mechanism 240 includes a sixth lifting component 241 and a fourth gripper 242. The sixth lifting component 241 is connected to the second mounting base 220 and is also connected to the fourth gripper 242 for driving the fourth gripper 242 to move up and down.

[0057] In some examples, both the third gripper 232 and the fourth gripper 242 are arc-shaped plate structures, with their arc-shaped openings facing each other. This allows the third gripper 232 and the fourth gripper 242 to grip the body of a circular material container. In other examples, the third gripper 232 and the fourth gripper 242 are not limited to arc-shaped plate structures; their shapes can be specifically designed according to the shape of the material container's body.

[0058] In some examples, a second pressure detector (not shown in the figure) is provided on the third gripper 232 and / or the fourth gripper 242. When the third gripper 232 and the fourth gripper 242 are engaged to clamp the bucket, the second pressure detector is subjected to force. When the force value detected by the second pressure detector reaches a third set value, the third clamping mechanism 230 and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 stop moving towards each other. In this way, damage caused by over-clamping of the bucket is avoided, and the stable gripping and conveying of the bucket is ensured.

[0059] In some examples, the second transfer mechanism 210 includes a seventh lifting component 211. The seventh lifting component 211 is connected to the second mounting base 220 to drive the second mounting base 220, the third clamping mechanism 230, and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 to move horizontally as a whole. The second transfer mechanism 210 also includes a second lateral movement component 212, which is connected to the seventh lifting component 211 to drive the seventh lifting component 211, the second mounting base 220, the third clamping mechanism 230, and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 to move horizontally as a whole. In some examples, the second lateral movement component 212 includes a slide rail, specifically, for example, a longitudinal slide rail and a transverse slide rail connected perpendicularly, with the seventh lifting component 211 slidingly engaging with the second lateral movement component 212.

[0060] In some examples, the feeding device 200 also includes a position detection and recognition mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is used to detect and identify the position of the material bin. In some examples, the position detection and recognition mechanism includes an image acquisition component and a recognition component. The image acquisition component includes, for example, an infrared detector, a camera, etc., and the acquired image is transmitted to the recognition component to identify the position of the material bin. The recognition component may have AI recognition capabilities, for example. By employing the above-mentioned intelligent recognition and positioning technology, the accuracy and efficiency of the feeding process can be ensured.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the automatic feeding device 10 also includes a recycling device 400. The conveying device 300 is also used to transport the empty buckets after being emptied by the unloading device 100 to the recycling station. The recycling device 400 is used to recycle the empty buckets at the recycling station.

[0062] In some examples, the recycling device 400 includes a third transfer mechanism 410, a third mounting base 420, a fifth clamping mechanism 430, and a sixth clamping mechanism 440. The fifth clamping mechanism 430 and the sixth clamping mechanism 440 are movably connected to the third mounting base 420, and are capable of moving closer together or further apart. The third transfer mechanism 410 is connected to the third mounting base 420 to move the third mounting base 420, the fifth clamping mechanism 430, and the sixth clamping mechanism 440 as a whole.

[0063] In some examples, the fifth clamping mechanism 430 includes a first telescopic member 431 and a fifth gripper 432. The first telescopic member 431 is connected to the third mounting base 420 and is also connected to the fifth gripper 432 for actuating the extension and retraction of the fifth gripper 432. The sixth clamping mechanism 440 includes a second telescopic member 441 and a sixth gripper 442. The second telescopic member 441 is connected to the third mounting base 420 and is also connected to the sixth gripper 442 for actuating the extension and retraction of the sixth gripper 442.

[0064] In some examples, both the fifth gripper 432 and the sixth gripper 442 are arc-shaped plate structures, with their arc-shaped openings facing each other. This allows the fifth gripper 432 and the sixth gripper 442 to grip the body of a circular material container. In other examples, the fifth gripper 432 and the sixth gripper 442 are not limited to arc-shaped plate structures; their shapes can be specifically designed according to the shape of the material container's body.

[0065] In some examples, the third transfer mechanism 410 includes a third lateral movement component 411 and an eighth lifting component 412. The third lateral movement component 411 is connected to the third mounting base 420 to drive the third mounting base 420, the fifth clamping mechanism 430, and the sixth clamping mechanism 440 to move horizontally as a whole. The eighth lifting component 412 is connected to the third lateral movement component 411 to drive the third lateral movement component 411, the third mounting base 420, the fifth clamping mechanism 430, and the sixth clamping mechanism 440 to lift as a whole.

[0066] In some examples, the recycling device 400 also includes a recycling container 450 for storing empty buckets. Multiple recycling containers 450 may be provided, for example, at different locations where the third traversing member 411 is driven to move. Multiple recycling containers 450 are used to store empty buckets of different types of adhesives (such as adhesive A and adhesive B).

[0067] The aforementioned lifting mechanisms, lifting components, and telescopic components may be, for example, but not limited to, one or more of the following: telescopic rods, scissor lift frames, push rods, motor lead screw transmission assemblies, cylinders, etc.

[0068] Unless otherwise stated, the materials used for the above components are preferably rigid materials, such as metals or plastics, to improve the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0069] The workflow of the automated feeding device 10 illustrated in the diagram includes, for example, the following steps:

[0070] The AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) transports adhesive A and adhesive B to the designated area. When the dispensing device detects insufficient adhesive, it automatically sends a signal to the automatic feeding device 10. The system identifies which dispensing device is missing and which type of adhesive (adhesive A or adhesive B) is lacking.

[0071] Upon receiving a glue shortage signal, the automatic feeding device 10 activates the feeding device 200, moving it above the material bucket via the second lateral movement component 212. At this time, the image acquisition component of the position detection and recognition mechanism takes a picture using an infrared device or a CCD camera, transmitting the image to the recognition component. The recognition component uses AI technology to identify and position the material bucket. After confirming the material bucket is directly below, the seventh lifting component 211 lowers the second mounting base 220, bringing it closer to the material bucket. The third clamping mechanism 230 and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 move closer together, clamping the material bucket with the third gripper 232 and the fourth gripper 242. When the force detected by the second pressure detector reaches a set value, the third clamping mechanism 230 and the fourth clamping mechanism 240 stop moving towards each other. The seventh lifting component 211 raises the second mounting base 220, moving it to the conveying device 300 via the second lateral movement component 212, placing the material bucket on the conveying device 300. The conveyor 300 starts after sensing the material bucket, and then moves the material bucket to the front of the dispensing machine (dispensing station) where the glue is insufficient and stops.

[0072] Based on the insufficient glue signal, the dispensing device 100 moves to above the material bucket via the first lateral movement component 162. After confirming the position of the material bucket via an infrared device, the fourth lifting component 161 drives the first mounting base 110 to descend, while the first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 move away from each other. Upon reaching the designated position, the fourth lifting component 161 stops driving the descent. The lifting and rotating mechanism 120 drives the adsorption mechanism 130 to descend onto the lid of the material bucket. The adsorption mechanism 130 activates negative pressure to suck up the lid. The lifting and rotating mechanism 120 drives the adsorption mechanism 130 to rotate clockwise to unscrew the lid. Subsequently, the lifting and rotating mechanism 120 drives the adsorption mechanism 130 to rise. The second lifting component 143 and the third lifting component 153 actuate, causing the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 to descend and clamp the material bucket. At this time, the first pressure detector is subjected to force. When the force value detected by the first pressure detector reaches the set value, the first clamping mechanism 140 and the second clamping mechanism 150 stop moving towards each other. The fourth lifting component 161 drives the first mounting base 110 to rise, and moves it to the glue dispenser that is short of glue via the first lateral component 162. The first rotating component 141 and the second rotating component 151 operate, causing the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 to rotate slowly, allowing glue to flow into the glue dispenser.

[0073] During the material unloading process, the weight detection component monitors the weight of the material bucket. When the weight decreases to a certain level, the unloading is considered complete. Subsequently, the first rotating component 141 and the second rotating component 151 actuate, causing the first gripper 142 and the second gripper 152 to rotate in opposite directions, returning the material bucket to its upright position. The fourth lifting component 161 lowers the first mounting base 110, placing the empty material bucket back onto the conveying device 300. The lifting and rotating mechanism 120 lowers the adsorption mechanism 130 and rotates it counterclockwise to tighten the bucket lid again.

[0074] After the dispensing operation is completed, the dispensing device 100 automatically returns to its original position. The conveying device 300 continues to operate, transporting the empty bucket to the recycling station and then stops.

[0075] After the empty buckets are transported to the recycling station, the recycling device 400 is activated. The third lateral movement component 411 extends the third mounting base 420, and the fifth clamping mechanism 430 and the sixth clamping mechanism 440 move closer together to clamp the empty buckets at the recycling station. The third lateral movement component 411 then retracts the third mounting base 420. The eighth lifting component 412 lowers the third mounting base 420, sorting and placing the empty buckets into the recycling container 450.

[0076] The automatic feeding device 10 in this example has the following advantages:

[0077] 1. Fully automated: The feeding, unloading and recycling processes require no manual intervention, reducing labor costs, effectively alleviating the physical burden on employees, and reducing the risk of occupational diseases.

[0078] 2. Precise control: The equipment can precisely control the amount of adhesive added, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the dispensing operation.

[0079] 3. High-efficiency production: Automated operations can significantly improve production efficiency.

[0080] 4. Reasonable structural design: The connection and coordination between various components are reasonably designed to ensure smooth operation and efficient work of the equipment.

[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0082] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims, and the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
