Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a feeding device for an automated production line for material re-inspection samples includes a base 1, which is a box structure with a door 107 on one side. The upper end of the base 1 has a pallet 2 that can move left and right. The pallet 2 has a detachable rack, which includes a first rack 3 for placing rectangular bars 5 (with a quadrilateral cross-section) and a second rack 4 for placing cylindrical bars. The first rack 3 or the second rack 4 can be selected according to requirements. Both the first rack 3 and the second rack 4 have various models, and different models of the same type of rack can be installed on the pallet 2 simultaneously at the same height.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the base 1 is provided with two guide rails 103, and a synchronous belt 104 is provided between the two guide rails 103. The two ends of the synchronous belt 104 are fixed by synchronous pulleys 106, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the synchronous pulleys 106. One end of the base 1 is provided with a motor 105 that drives the synchronous pulleys 106 to rotate. The lower end of the tray 2 is provided with a slider 203 that cooperates with the guide rails 103 and a clamping block 204 that is connected to the synchronous belt 104. The synchronous belt 104 can drive the tray 2 to move left and right to complete the loading and feeding.
[0034] The base has limit blocks 101 at both ends that cooperate with the tray 2 to ensure that the slider 203 will not detach from the guide rail 103 and to ensure safe use.
[0035] Two proximity switches 102 are provided on one side of the guide rail 103, corresponding to the loading position and the feeding position of the tray 2 respectively. The bottom of the tray 2 is provided with a detection plate 205 for detection by the proximity switches 102. In use, isolation plates are set on both sides of the middle part of the base 1. Personnel load the workpiece from the loading position. After loading, the tray 2 transports the workpiece to the feeding position, where the robot picks it up.
[0036] The upper end of the tray 2 is provided with a positioning hole 201 and a bolt hole 202.
[0037] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first material rack 3 includes a base plate 301, with parallel side plates 302 on both sides of the base plate 301. The upper ends of the two side plates 302 are provided with positioning grooves 303 for fixing workpieces. The lower end of the base plate 301 is provided with a first positioning post 305 that mates with the positioning hole 201. There are at least two first positioning posts 305, which are directly inserted into the positioning hole 201. The insertion and extraction resistance between the first positioning post 305 and the positioning hole 201 is relatively large, which can ensure the stability and firmness of the first material rack 3 on the pallet 2. In addition, the pallet 2 and the base plate 301 can be fixed together by bolts.
[0038] The dimensions (length, width, depth) and spacing of the positioning grooves 303 of different models of the first material rack 3 are different, and they are used to place rectangular bars 5 of different lengths and thicknesses. A spring plunger 304 is provided on one of the side plates 302. The plunger body of the spring plunger 304 is located in the positioning groove 303. Both ends of the rectangular bar 5 are placed in the positioning groove 303, and one end is held in place by the spring plunger 304 to ensure the stability of the workpiece.
[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the second material rack 4 includes a parallel upper support plate 406 and a lower support plate 403. The corners of the upper support plate 406 and the lower support plate 403 are connected by connecting posts 405. The bottom of the lower support plate 403 is provided with a support post 401, and the lower end of the support post 401 is provided with a second positioning post 402 that mates with the positioning hole 201. The surface of the upper support plate 406 is uniformly provided with placement holes 407, and the upper end of the lower support plate 403 is provided with a positioning ring 404 corresponding to the position of the placement hole 407. The insertion and removal resistance between the second positioning post 402 and the positioning hole 201 is relatively large, which can ensure the stability and firmness of the second material rack 4 on the tray 2. In addition, the lower support plate 403 can be fixed to the base plate 301 by bolts.
[0040] Different models of the second material rack 4 have different distances between the upper support plate 406 and the lower support plate 403, different heights of the support column 401, and different diameters of the placement hole 407 and the positioning ring 404. This allows them to hold cylindrical bars of different diameters and lengths.
[0041] In use, first select the rack type according to the shape of the workpiece (rectangular bar 5, cylindrical bar), and then select the appropriate rack model according to the size of the bar (there can be multiple models, and the pallet 2 of this application can install up to 5 racks at a time). Install the racks side by side on the upper end of the pallet 2. After installation, manually put the workpieces into the racks one by one, start the motor 105, and the pallet 2 will transport the workpieces to the loading position for the robot to grab.
[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
