Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a clip-type feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Soft ceramics are a type of incompletely sintered ceramic material. Although their hardness and strength are lower than traditional hard ceramics, they still retain a certain level of mechanical strength and durability. They are commonly used in building decoration, electronic component substrates, and flexible ceramic tiles, and are widely favored due to their lightweight, environmental friendliness, and ease of processing. Current soft ceramics loading processes use suction cups for direct pickup and transport. However, because soft ceramics are lightweight and flexible, relying solely on suction cups for material handling can lead to a lack of stable and reliable support. This can cause uneven stress during transport, resulting in bending, unnecessary wrinkles or creases, and significant damage to the surface of the soft ceramics. This negatively impacts both loading efficiency and the appearance quality of the soft ceramics. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a magazine-type feeding mechanism of this utility model includes a feeding component 1, a lifting component 2 used in conjunction with the feeding component 1, and a picking component 3 used in conjunction with the lifting component 2. The lifting component 2 moves back and forth between the feeding component 1 and the picking component 3. The picking component 3 includes a sliding seat 31, a first linear module 32 drivenly connected to the sliding seat 31, a picking seat 33 disposed on the sliding seat 31, a gripper cylinder 34 disposed on the picking seat 33, a gripper arm 35 drivenly connected to the gripper cylinder 34, a second linear module 36 drivenly connected to the picking seat 33, and a material carrier 37 disposed on both sides of the picking seat 33. The moving direction of the sliding seat 31 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the picking seat 33.

[0028] During operation, the material, which is soft ceramic, is transferred from the feeding assembly 1 to the lifting assembly 2 via the lifting assembly 2. The lifting assembly 2 then elevates the material from the feeding assembly 1 to the picking assembly 3. First, the first linear module 32 drives the sliding seat 31 to move laterally, aligning the picking seat 33 with the material. Next, the second linear module 36 drives the picking seat 33 to move longitudinally, causing the gripper cylinder 34 to move forward and extend to the material's position. The gripper cylinder 34 drives the gripper arm 35 to close and clamp the material. Then, the second linear module 36 drives the picking seat 33 to move backward, pulling the material into the carrying rack 37 until it is completely flat on the carrying rack 37. Finally, the first linear module 32 drives the sliding seat 31 away from the lifting assembly 2 to the next process, thus completing the material transport and loading operation. This invention provides excellent support for the material, ensuring uniform force distribution and maintaining a naturally flat state, facilitating transport and loading, and improving loading efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top of the material carrier 37 is provided with a limiting plate 38. The inner wall of the limiting plate 38 abuts against the outer wall of the material. The limiting plate 38 has a receiving groove 39, and the receiving groove 39 is provided with a first material sensor 310. Specifically, the material carrier 37 abuts against the outer wall of the material through the inner wall of the limiting plate 38, effectively limiting the position of the material on the material carrier 37 and preventing the position from being skewed or offset. The limiting plate 38 accommodates the first material sensor 310 through the receiving groove 39. When the first material sensor 310 senses and detects the material, it sends a corresponding working command to the controller, which starts the operation of the first linear module 32. The first linear module 32 drives the material carrier 37 to move, thereby realizing the material transportation and loading operation.

[0030] The lifting assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a lifting seat 21 and a third linear module 22 drivenly connected to the lifting seat 21. The lifting seat 21 is provided with a temporary storage rack 23 and a temporary storage groove 24. A limit block 25 is provided at one end of the lifting seat 21 near the third linear module 22, and a second material sensor 26 is provided at the other end of the lifting seat 21 away from the third linear module 22. Specifically, when the feeding component 1 transports the temporary storage rack 23 to the lifting seat 21, and the second material sensor 26 detects the temporary storage rack 23, it sends a corresponding working command to the controller. The controller then starts the operation of the third linear module 22, which drives the lifting seat 21 to move up and down. The limit block 25 stops the temporary storage rack 23 from contacting the outer wall of the temporary storage rack 23, thereby limiting the position of the temporary storage rack 23 on the lifting seat 21. Multiple temporary storage chutes 24 are provided, and the multiple temporary storage chutes 24 are arranged along the height direction of the temporary storage rack 23. Each temporary storage chute 24 holds a single material. With the help of the third linear module 22, the temporary storage rack 23 is driven to move up and down through the lifting seat 21, which better cooperates with the material picking component 3 to take out the material from the temporary storage chutes 24 and place the material on the carrying rack 37 for transportation.

[0031] The feeding assembly 1 in this embodiment includes a frame 11, a first drive wheel 12 and a second drive wheel 13 disposed at one end of the frame 11, a dual-axis motor 14 driven and connected to the first drive wheel 12 and the second drive wheel 13, a first driven wheel 15 and a second driven wheel 16 disposed at the other end of the frame 11, a first transmission belt 17 drivingly connected between the first drive wheel 12 and the first driven wheel 15, and a second transmission belt 18 drivingly connected between the second drive wheel 13 and the second driven wheel 16. The frame 11 is provided with a third material sensor 19. Specifically, when the third material sensor 19 detects the temporary storage rack 23, it sends a corresponding working command to the controller, which then starts the dual-axis motor 14. The dual-axis motor 14 is mounted on the upright frame 11. The dual-axis motor 14 is existing technology, and its specific shape, structure, and working principle will not be described in detail. One output end of the dual-axis motor 14 drives the first drive wheel 12 to rotate. The rotating first drive wheel 12 drives the first driven wheel 15 to rotate through the first transmission belt 17. The other output end of the dual-axis motor 14 drives the second drive wheel 13 to rotate. The rotating second drive wheel 13 drives the second driven wheel 16 to rotate through the second transmission belt 18. The first transmission belt 17 and the second transmission belt 18 work together to smoothly transport the temporary storage rack 23 to the lifting assembly 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, guide plates 110 are provided on both sides of the upright frame 11, and the guide plates 110 have adjustment grooves 111. Specifically, preferably, two guide plates 110 are provided. The distance between the two guide plates 110 is adjusted according to the specifications and dimensions of different types of temporary storage racks 23. External screws are used to pass through the adjustment grooves 111 and connect and fix the two guide plates 110 to the upright frame 11. The distance adjustment operation is simple and better guides the temporary storage rack 23 into the space between the first transmission belt 17 and the second transmission belt 18.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
