Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of this application shows a fully automatic feeding device for a high-temperature heat sink sintering furnace of ceramic plates, comprising a sintering grate 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a support platform 3, a loading area 4, and a traction vehicle 5. The sintering grate 1 is provided with a plurality of sintering furnaces 11 arranged side-by-side. A plurality of lifting mechanisms 2 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of sintering furnaces 11 and are located below the corresponding sintering furnace 11 to drive the furnace door 12 to rise and fall. The support platform 3 is located below the sintering grate 1, and the furnace door 12 is configured to reciprocate along the axis of the support platform 3. The loading area 4 is located at the head of the support platform 3 and is used for loading and unloading materials from the furnace door 12. The traction vehicle 5 is located on the support platform 3 and can be controlled to reciprocate along the axis of the support platform 3 to drive the furnace door 12 to the loading area 4 and directly below the target sintering furnace 11.

[0033] According to the embodiment of this utility model, by integrating multiple sintering furnaces 11 into a sintering grate 1, and uniformly setting up a traction vehicle 5, a support platform 3, and a material loading area 4 below the sintering grate 1, and cooperating with the lifting mechanism 2, the furnace doors 12 of multiple sintering furnaces 11 can be automatically loaded and unloaded on one platform. This not only reduces the space occupied by the sintering furnaces 11, but also realizes a shared feeding path for multiple furnaces through the traction vehicle 5, thereby improving space utilization, saving equipment costs, and improving the overall operating efficiency and batch production capacity of the line.

[0034] The following detailed description uses specific examples:

[0035] Please see Figure 3 The height of the tractor 5 is lower than the height of the furnace door 12, and the tractor 5 is configured to pass under the furnace door 12 in a controlled manner. By designing the height of the tractor 5 to be lower than the furnace door 12 and to be able to pass under the furnace door 12, the tractor 5 can flexibly enter the bottom position of the furnace door 12 without interfering with the operation of the lifting mechanism 2, achieving reliable clamping and release. Furthermore, the tractor 5 is equipped with a gripper cylinder 51, and a connecting boss 121 that cooperates with the gripper cylinder 51 is provided below the furnace door 12. The gripper cylinder 51 and the connecting boss 121 cooperate to enable the tractor 5 to drive the furnace door 12 to move synchronously.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 The support platform 3 is equipped with a drive rack 31, and the tractor 5 is equipped with a servo motor 52. The movable end of the servo motor 52 is equipped with a drive gear 53 that meshes with the drive rack 31. The drive gear 53 and the drive rack 31 work together to drive the tractor 5 to move back and forth between the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4. By using the servo motor 52 to drive the drive gear 53 to mesh with the drive rack 31 on the support platform 3, the tractor 5 can perform high-precision reciprocating motion between the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4, meeting the requirements of high-frequency feeding.

[0037] Further, please see Figures 2 to 4At least two first moving slide rails 32 are provided on the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4. The first moving slide rails 32 are located on both sides of the drive rack 31. The bottom of the tractor 5 is provided with corresponding first moving pulleys 54. The first moving slide rails 32 and the first moving pulleys 54 cooperate to allow the tractor 5 to move back and forth on the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4. At least two second moving slide rails 33 are provided on the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4. The second moving slide rails 33 are located on both sides of the first moving slide rails 32. The bottom of the furnace door 12 is provided with corresponding second moving pulleys 122. The second moving slide rails 33 and the second moving pulleys 122 cooperate to allow the furnace door 12 to move back and forth on the support platform 3 and the material loading area 4. In this embodiment, there are two corresponding first moving slide rails 32 and two second moving slide rails 33. The first moving slide rails 32 are located within the two second moving slide rails 33, which can ensure that the furnace door 12 can effectively avoid the tractor 5, and the tractor 5 can smoothly pass through the furnace door 12.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 2 includes a transmission screw 21, a drive assembly 22, a lifting plate 23, and support rods 24. Two transmission screws 21 are positioned between the furnace door 12 and the support platform 3, respectively on both sides of the support platform 3. One end of each transmission screw 21 is connected to the lower part of the furnace door 12 via a rotating shaft. The drive assembly 22 is positioned below the support platform 3 and is connected to the other end of each transmission screw 21, used to drive the transmission screw 21 to rotate. Two lifting plates 23 correspond one-to-one with the two transmission screws 21 and are located on both sides below the furnace door 12, used to support the furnace door 12 for lifting and lowering. The lifting plates 23 are threadedly connected to their corresponding transmission screws 21. Two sets of support rods 24 correspond one-to-one with the two lifting plates 23, and are positioned between the furnace door 12 and the support platform 3, passing through the lifting plates 23. The lifting mechanism 2 consists of two transmission screws 21, a corresponding threaded lifting plate 23, a support rod 24, and a drive assembly 22. It can drive the lifting plate 23 to support both sides of the furnace door 12 via screw transmission, thereby avoiding the second moving pulley 122 and enabling synchronous, smooth, and large-stroke up-and-down movement of the furnace door 12, possessing good load-bearing capacity and guiding stability. Specifically, the drive assembly 22 includes a drive motor connected to one of the transmission screws 21, and the drive motor is connected to the other transmission screw 21 through a transmission structure to ensure synchronous transmission between the two screws. Furthermore, the lifting plate 23 is provided with a support plate 231 for supporting the furnace platform, and a buffer spring 232 is provided between the support plate 231 and the lifting plate 23.

[0039] Further, please see Figure 5The loading area 4 is equipped with several stop cylinders 41. The movable end of each stop cylinder 41 is equipped with a stop element 42 that cooperates with the second moving pulley 122. The stop element 42 and the second moving pulley 122 cooperate to lock the furnace door 12 that reaches the loading area 4. The loading area 4 is equipped with multiple stop cylinders 41, and their stop elements 42 can cooperate with the second moving pulley 122 to lock the furnace door 12 in the loading position, ensuring safety and stability during manual loading and unloading.

[0040] When the device is in use, after the material is sintered, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the transmission screw 21 to lower the lifting plate 23, causing the furnace door 12 to move to the horizontal position of the support platform 3, and the second moving pulley 122 falls into the second moving slide rail 33. At this time, the tractor 5 travels from the starting position at the rear of the support platform 3 along the first moving slide rail 32 to below the furnace door 12, and the gripper cylinder 51 clamps the connecting boss 121, which is rigidly connected to the furnace door 12. Immediately afterwards, the servo motor 52 starts, and through the drive gear 53 meshing with the drive rack 31, the tractor 5 drags the furnace door 12 to the loading area 4. After the furnace door 12 reaches the loading area 4, the stop cylinder 41 extends the stop member 42 to lock the second moving pulley 122, the tractor 5 releases the gripper cylinder 51 and returns to the starting position, and the operator unloads and loads materials into the furnace door 12. After the material is loaded, the tractor 5 moves back to the area below the furnace door 12, clamps and delivers the furnace door 12 directly below the target sintering furnace 11. The tractor 5 then disengages from the furnace door 12 and returns to the starting position. The lifting mechanism 2 of the target sintering furnace 11 drives the lifting plate 23 to rise, lifting the furnace door 12 into the furnace chamber, completing the automatic feeding cycle. Specifically, during this process, the tractor 5's arrival below the furnace door 12 and its return to the starting position, as well as the furnace door 12's arrival at the unloading area, directly below the target sintering furnace 11, and its ascent into the furnace chamber of the target sintering furnace 11, are all located using position sensors at different positions. This is a standard technique used in production lines and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0041] 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.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, 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 utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
