[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all structures. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] In related technologies, when transporting product parts on a production line, operators need to place the product parts (e.g., heating element brackets) into carriers (such as jigs, pallets, or conveyor belts) to ensure that the products are arranged neatly. Furthermore, a powered conveyor line (such as a belt conveyor, chain conveyor, or roller conveyor) is often used for temporary storage and transport, allowing these product parts to be manually placed into the carriers as described above.

[0025] The main problems with the related technologies are: low efficiency, slow speed, and limited production capacity due to manual operation; uncontrollable human factors leading to operational errors; and high labor costs due to the requirement for workers to be on duty at all times. Powered conveyor lines require a long storage section, occupying workshop space.

[0026] Therefore, this application provides a material dispensing device 10, in conjunction with reference to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The material sorting device 10 includes a feeding assembly 101, a sorting assembly 102, and a first pressing assembly 103. The feeding assembly 101 has at least one feeding track 1011, each track 1011 for arranging multiple workpieces 1012. The sorting assembly 102 includes a sorting rack 1021 and a drive mechanism 1022. The sorting rack 1021 has at least one workpiece slot 1023 for placing workpieces 1012, and the workpiece slots 1023 correspond one-to-one with the feeding tracks 1011. The drive mechanism 1022 is configured to move the sorting rack 1021 to the workpiece slots 1023 and the feeding tracks 1011. The workpiece 1012 is connected to the workpiece slot 1023; the drive mechanism 1022 is also configured to drive the material distribution frame 1021 away from the feeding assembly 101, so that the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023 is separated from the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011; the first pressing assembly 103 is disposed on the side of the feeding assembly 101 close to the material distribution assembly 102, and is used to fix the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011 by pressing down or to release the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011 by moving up.

[0027] In this embodiment of the application, the feeding assembly 101 has at least one feeding track 1011, and multiple workpieces 1012 are arranged on each feeding track 1011 to achieve continuous feeding.

[0028] In the material distribution assembly 102, the workpiece slots 1023 on the material distribution rack 1021 are correspondingly arranged with the feeding track 1011. The drive mechanism 1022 is used to move the material distribution rack 1021 to the workpiece slots 1023 and the feeding track 1011 to allow the workpiece 1012 to enter the workpiece slots 1023. Alternatively, the drive mechanism 1022 is used to move the material distribution rack 1021 away from the feeding assembly 101, so that the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023 is separated from the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011. After distribution, the workpiece 1012 remains fixed in the workpiece slot 1023, which facilitates subsequent cooperation with robots. For example, the robot can grab the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023 and put it into a carrier, thereby achieving full automation. The reciprocating motion of the material sorting rack 1021 is controlled by the drive mechanism 1022, and in conjunction with the continuous feeding of the feeding track 1011, the workpieces 1012 are fully automated from arrangement to separation, replacing manual operation and improving sorting efficiency. The material sorting equipment 10 can operate continuously for 24 hours, avoiding fatigue errors or unstable cycle time caused by manual operation. Moreover, this also reduces the professional skills required of operators, further reducing the company's training costs and labor costs.

[0029] When the sorting rack 1021 is far from the feeding assembly 101, the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023 is separated from the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011. This allows only the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023 to be transferred each time, avoiding stacking or interference. The sorted workpiece 1012 remains fixed in the workpiece slot 1023, making it easy for the robot to directly grasp it for the next process, thus achieving full automation.

[0030] The first pressing component 103 is located on the side of the feeding component 101 near the distributing component 102. It generates stable pressure by pressing down, firmly fixing the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011. During the distributing process, as the driving mechanism 1022 of the distributing component 102 moves the distributing frame 1021, the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011 will not shift or shake due to external interference, ensuring the stability of the distributing action. This stable distributing process reduces abnormal wear and collisions between equipment components, lowers the probability of equipment failure, extends equipment lifespan, reduces maintenance costs and downtime, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the production line.

[0031] The modular design of the feeding assembly 101, the distributing assembly 102 and the first pressing assembly 103 eliminates the need for a long storage section in the power conveyor line, thus reducing the footprint.

[0032] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The first pressing assembly 103 includes a pressing plate 1031, pressing elements 1032, and a first translation mechanism 1033. The pressing plate 1031 is located above the feeding assembly 101 and on the side of the feeding assembly 101 closest to the distributing assembly 102. The pressing elements 1032 are disposed on the side of the pressing plate 1031 facing the feeding assembly 101, and the pressing elements 1032 are correspondingly disposed with the feeding rails 1011. The first translation mechanism 1033 is used to drive the pressing plate 1031 to press down and drive the pressing elements 1032 to fix the workpieces 1012 on the feeding rails 1011 closest to the distributing rack 1021.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 1031 is located above the feeding assembly 101 and on the side close to the dispensing assembly 102 (i.e., at the dispensing station entrance). The pressure plate 1031 serves as the supporting substrate for the pressure member 1032, providing a rigid structure to transmit downward pressure.

[0034] The pressing component 1032 is set one-to-one with the feeding track 1011, which can accurately position and fix the workpiece 1012 closest to the distributing rack 1021 on each feeding track 1011. During the distributing process, it can ensure that only the workpiece 1012 closest to the distributing rack 1021 is fixed, avoiding misoperation such as stacking or interference of workpieces 1012 in the workpiece slot 1023, improving the accuracy of distributing, and helping to achieve precise material delivery in automated production.

[0035] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 1032 acts directly on the surface of the workpiece 1012, and is typically made of an elastic material (such as silicone) or a rigid structure with cushioning to avoid damage to the workpiece. The first translation mechanism 1033 can be a cylinder, a servo motor with a lead screw, or a linear module to realize the vertical lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 1031.

[0036] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 The first translation mechanism 1033 includes two frames 10331 and two first cylinders 10332. The two frames 10331 are distributed on both sides of the feeding assembly 101; the two first cylinders 10332 are respectively disposed on the two frames 10331, and the output end of the first cylinder 10332 is connected to the pressure plate 1031 to drive the pressure plate 1031 to press down or move up.

[0037] In this embodiment, two frames 10331 are distributed on both sides of the feeding assembly 101, providing support and a fixed foundation for the entire first translation mechanism 1033. Two first cylinders 10332 are respectively mounted on the two frames 10331 and serve as the power source for the first translation mechanism 1033. By connecting the output end of the first cylinder 10332 to the pressure plate 1031, the up-and-down movement of the pressure plate 1031 can be precisely controlled, thereby realizing the fixing and releasing operations of the workpiece on the feeding track 1011. The simultaneous action of the two first cylinders 10332 ensures the balance and synchronization of the pressure plate 1031 during movement, enabling the pressure plate 1032 to apply pressure evenly to the workpiece 1012.

[0038] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The feeding assembly 101 includes a feeding main board 1013 and a cover plate 1014. The feeding main board 1013 has multiple feeding tracks 1011. The cover plate 1014 covers the feeding main board 1013, and the side of the cover plate 1014 near the material distribution frame 1021 has multiple openings 1015. The openings 1015 are arranged one-to-one with the feeding tracks 1011 to expose the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011 that is closest to the material distribution frame 1021, so that the pressing component 1032 can press down and fix the workpiece 1012.

[0039] In this embodiment, the feeding main board 1013 is the main structure of the feeding assembly 101, and multiple feeding tracks 1011 are provided on it for carrying and transporting workpieces 1012. This ensures that the workpieces 1012 have a clear path of travel during the feeding process, and can ensure that multiple workpieces 1012 are arranged in sequence and move stably toward the material distribution assembly 102, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of material distribution.

[0040] The cover plate 1014 is placed on the feeding main plate 1013 to protect and restrict the workpiece 1012. The accommodating cavity formed between the cover plate 1014 and the feeding track 1011 ensures that the workpiece 1012 can only be arranged within a limited space, preventing the workpieces 1012 from being randomly stacked or squeezed against each other, ensuring that each workpiece 1012 is in the correct position, which is beneficial to the accuracy and stability of subsequent material distribution operations.

[0041] Multiple openings 1015 on the side of the cover plate 1014 near the material distribution rack 1021 correspond one-to-one with the feeding track 1011. The position and size of these openings are precisely designed to accurately expose the workpiece 1012 on the feeding track 1011 closest to the material distribution rack 1021, so that the pressing component 1032 can press down and fix the workpiece 1012 through the openings 1015. This design makes the pressing operation more direct and efficient, reduces the uncertainty in the pressing process, improves the success rate and stability of pressing, and thus ensures the smooth progress of the entire material distribution process.

[0042] In some embodiments, the feeding main plate 1013 is a linear vibrating feeding plate. The linear vibrating feeding plate generates linear vibration through a vibrator, enabling the workpiece 1012 to move stably and quickly along a straight line on the feeding track 1011, achieving efficient material conveying. The structure of the linear vibrating feeding plate is relatively simple, mainly composed of a vibrator, a feeding plate, and supporting components, without complex transmission mechanisms or connecting parts. This simple structural design not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the equipment but also facilitates maintenance and upkeep during use.

[0043] In other embodiments, the feeding main board 1013 may also be other types of feeding boards, which are not limited here.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The material distribution device 10 also includes a second pressing component 104, which is disposed on the material distribution frame 1021 and is used to position the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece groove 1023 by pressing down or to release the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece groove 1023 by moving up.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second pressing component 104 is integrated on the dispensing rack 1021 and is used to position or release the workpiece 1012 that has entered the workpiece slot 1023 during the dispensing process.

[0046] After the workpiece 1012 is transferred from the feeding track 1011 to the workpiece slot 1023, the second pressing assembly 104 presses down to provide appropriate pressure to fix the workpiece 1012 without damaging it, ensuring that the workpiece 1012 is fixed in position within the workpiece slot 1023, and preventing the material distribution frame 1021 from shifting due to inertia or vibration when the drive mechanism 1022 moves.

[0047] When the material distribution rack 1021 moves to the target position (such as the robot gripping position) under the control of the drive mechanism 1022, the second pressing component 104 moves upward, releasing the fixation of the workpiece 1012, making it easier for subsequent processes to pick it up.

[0048] The second pressing component 104 achieves dynamic and stable control of the workpiece 1012 during the transfer process, and works in synergy with the first pressing component 103 to significantly improve the performance of the material distribution equipment 10 in high-speed and high-precision scenarios.

[0049] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 5 The second pressing assembly 104 includes a positioning plate 1041, a positioning element 1042, and a second translation mechanism 1043. The positioning plate 1041 is located above the material distribution frame 1021; the positioning element 1042 is disposed on the side of the positioning plate 1041 facing the material distribution frame 1021, and the positioning element 1042 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the workpiece groove 1023; the second translation mechanism 1043 is used to drive the positioning plate 1041 to press down and drive the positioning element 1042 to position the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece groove 1023 one by one.

[0050] In this embodiment, the positioning plate 1041 serves as a support base for the positioning member 1042, providing a rigid structure to transmit downward pressure. Simultaneously, driven by the second translation mechanism 1043, the positioning plate 1041 performs downward and upward movements, guiding the movement of the positioning member 1042 and ensuring that the positioning member 1042 can vertically contact and separate from the workpiece 1012 within the workpiece groove 1023, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of positioning.

[0051] The positioning element 1042 is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the workpiece groove 1023, which can accurately position and fix the workpiece 1012 on the workpiece groove 1023, avoiding the position deviation or misalignment of the workpiece 1012, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of material distribution.

[0052] The second translation mechanism 1043 is used to drive the positioning plate 1041 to press down, which can provide stable power to the positioning plate 1041 and the positioning component 1042, so that they can press down according to the predetermined trajectory and force, accurately positioning the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece groove 1023, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, the positioning element 1042 acts directly on the surface of the workpiece 1012, and is typically made of an elastic material (such as silicone) or a rigid structure with cushioning to avoid damage to the workpiece. The second translation mechanism 1043 can be a cylinder, a servo motor with a lead screw, or a linear module to realize the vertical lifting of the positioning element 1042.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second translation mechanism 1043 includes two fixed frames 10431 and two second cylinders 10432 (only one is shown in the figure). The two fixed frames 10431 are respectively disposed on both sides of the material distribution frame 1021; the two second cylinders 10432 are respectively disposed on the two fixed frames 10431, and the output end of the second cylinders 10432 is connected to the positioning plate 1041 to drive the positioning plate 1041 to press down or move up.

[0055] In this embodiment, two fixed frames 10431 are distributed on both sides of the material distribution frame 1021, providing support and a fixed foundation for the entire second cylinder 10432. The two second cylinders 10432 are respectively mounted on the two fixed frames 10431 and serve as the power source for the second cylinders 10432. By connecting the output end of the second cylinder 10432 to the positioning plate 1041, the up-and-down movement of the positioning plate 1041 can be precisely controlled, thereby realizing the fixing and releasing operations of the workpiece 1012 on the material distribution frame 1021. The simultaneous action of the two second cylinders 10432 ensures the balance and synchronization of the positioning plate 1041 during movement, enabling the positioning plate 1041 to apply pressure evenly to the workpiece 1012.

[0056] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 1022 includes a base 10221 and a third cylinder 10222. The third cylinder 10222 is disposed on the base 10221, and the output end of the third cylinder 10222 is connected to the material distribution frame 1021, for driving the material distribution frame 1021 to move closer to or away from the feeding assembly 101.

[0057] In this embodiment, the base 10221 provides a stable mounting foundation for the third cylinder 10222. The third cylinder 10222 can provide stable and controllable power output. The output end of the third cylinder 10222 is connected to the material distribution frame 1021. Through the extension and retraction movement of the third cylinder 10222, the material distribution frame 1021 can be precisely moved closer to or away from the feeding assembly 101. The third cylinder 10222 has the characteristics of fast response and large force when providing power, which can quickly realize the position adjustment of the material distribution frame 1021, meet the needs of different stages in the material distribution process, and improve the material distribution efficiency.

[0058] In some embodiments, the material distribution assembly 102 further includes a sensor 105, which is configured to correspond one-to-one with the workpiece groove 1023 and is used to sense the workpiece 1012 in the workpiece groove 1023.

[0059] In this embodiment, the sensing element 105 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the workpiece slot 1023, enabling precise detection of whether a workpiece 1012 is present in each workpiece slot 1023. This one-to-one correspondence ensures the accuracy of detection, avoids misjudgment or missed judgment, and helps improve the accuracy and reliability of the material distribution process.

[0060] In some embodiments, the sensor 105 is disposed in a groove (not shown) on the side of the feeder 1021 away from the second pressing assembly 104, and the groove is connected to the workpiece slot 1023 so that the sensor 105 can detect whether there is a workpiece 1012 in each workpiece slot 1023.

[0061] In some embodiments, the material distribution rack 1021 is also provided with a gripping groove 1024 corresponding to each workpiece groove 1023. The gripping groove 1024 is located on both sides of the workpiece groove 1023 and communicates with the workpiece groove 1023, so as to allow subsequent equipment to grip the workpiece 1012.

[0062] In this embodiment, the gripping slots 1024 are located on both sides of the workpiece slot 1023 and communicate with it, providing a convenient gripping position for subsequent equipment (such as a robot). The gripping equipment can accurately position and grip the workpiece 1012, improving the success rate and efficiency of gripping. Compared with gripping directly from the workpiece slot 1023, the gripping slots 1024 provide a wider operating space, facilitating the insertion of gripping equipment's clamps or robotic arms, and reducing the possibility of interference with the material distribution rack 1021 or other components during the gripping process.

[0063] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
