Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material handling technology, and more specifically, to a synchronous feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern technology, the benefits of automated industrial production have become increasingly significant. It extends production operation time, improves efficiency, and reduces labor costs. Therefore, automated industrial production is widely used in various industries.

[0003] In automated industrial production, materials are transported one by one to the next processing location via conveyor belts. However, in actual production, due to equipment production requirements or material characteristics, multiple products need to be processed simultaneously, requiring multiple materials to be transferred to the processing objects at the same time. This one-by-one transfer method is difficult to meet production demands. To meet these demands, multiple conveyor belts or additional production equipment need to be built. This method can easily lead to the transferred materials exceeding the processing capacity of the processing objects, resulting in material waste and equipment idleness, thereby increasing equipment and production costs and occupying a large amount of production space.

[0039] The synchronous feeding mechanism provided in this application is intended to solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art.

[0040] This application provides a synchronous feeding mechanism, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the synchronous feeding mechanism includes a conveying module, a guide rail module, and multiple hoppers 2 arranged in a straight line for tipping and discharging. The conveying module includes conveying chains 11 located on both sides of the hopper 2. The conveying chains 11 are located below the feeding port and are connected end to end to form a ring conveying structure. The tipping position of the hopper 2 is located on the movement path of the conveying chains 11. The guide rail module includes multiple tipping guide rails 6 located below the feeding port. The tipping guide rails 6 are laid on at least one side of the hopper 2 and extend along the feeding port to the tipping position of the hopper 2 near the discharge port. Each tipping position corresponds to at least one tipping guide rail 6. The hopper 2 includes a fixing member 22 and a carrying member 21 for carrying materials. The two sides of the fixing member 22 are connected to different conveying chains 11. The tipping side of the carrying member 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 22. Each carrying member 21 is placed on the tipping guide rail 6 corresponding to the hopper 2. The distance between the hoppers 2 corresponds to the distance between the tipping positions.

[0041] Optionally, the conveying module further includes a drive sprocket 12 and a drive device. The drive sprocket 12 is disposed at both ends of the annular conveying structure formed by the conveying chain 11. The conveying chain 11 is sleeved on the drive sprocket 12, and the tooth pitch of the drive sprocket 12 corresponds to the hole spacing of the chain holes on the conveying chain 11. The drive assembly is connected to the drive sprocket 12 at at least one end of the annular conveying structure, and the drive assembly drives the conveying chain 11 to rotate through the drive sprocket 12.

[0042] Optionally, in order to achieve synchronous rotation of the transmission chain 11, the transmission module also includes a drive shaft, which is vertically arranged relative to the transmission sprocket 12 and located between the two transmission sprockets 12, with both ends of the drive shaft connected to different transmission sprockets 12.

[0043] Optionally, to ensure that the hopper 2 can rotate with the conveyor chain 11 and that the hopper 2 can be positioned on the tilting guide rail 6 before moving to the discharge port, an auxiliary wheel is also fixed on the drive shaft. The diameter of the auxiliary wheel is smaller than that of the drive sprocket 12, and it is located below the tilting guide rail 6. The end of the tilting guide rail 6 near the feed port is bent towards the auxiliary wheel to facilitate the positioning of the hopper 2 on the tilting guide rail 6.

[0044] Optionally, to support the conveyor chain 11, the conveyor module further includes a conveyor bracket, which includes a first track 31, a second track 32, and a support plate 33. The upper and lower parts of the conveyor chain 11 are respectively placed on the first track 31 and the second track 32. The support plate 33 is fixed to the side of the first track 31 and the second track 32 that are far apart from each other.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the synchronous feeding mechanism also includes a housing 4, which encloses the conveying module and the hopper 2, with a support plate 33 fixed to the side of the housing 4. Furthermore, one side of the housing 4 is provided with an opening for discharging material, the position of which corresponds to the flipping position.

[0046] Optionally, the fixing member 22 includes a flipping part 222 and fixing plates 221 disposed on both sides of the flipping part 222. One side of the fixing plate 221 is connected to the flipping part 222, and the other side is connected to the conveyor chain 11. The two ends of the flipping part 222 are provided with rotating shafts, which are opposite to each other, and one end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the side of the carrier 21 so that the carrier 21 flips relative to the rotating shaft.

[0047] In one embodiment, the fixing plate 221 is connected to the side of the conveyor chain 11, and the pivot is located on the side of the flipping part 222 near the carrier 21. Furthermore, to reduce the flipping angle of the carrier 21, at least one boss 2221 is provided on the side of the flipping part 222 near the carrier 21. The side of the boss 2221 near the carrier 21 is a slope, which extends towards the carrier 21, and the angle of inclination of the slope corresponds to the flipping angle of the flipping part 222.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the hopper 2 also includes a support member 23 spaced apart from the fixing member 22. The support member 23 is fixed to the bottom of the bearing member 21, and at least one end of the support member 23 extends to the outside of the bearing member 21 to form a support part. The support part is placed on the corresponding tilting guide rail 6 of the hopper 2.

[0049] Optionally, the flipping guide rails 6 are arranged side by side, and the distance between the flipping guide rails 6 and the corresponding hopper 2 corresponds to the length of the support part of the hopper 2 to ensure that the support part does not rest on the flipping guide rails 6 after the hopper 2 moves to the flipping position.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are 8 flipping positions, meaning 8 hoppers 2 need to be flipped simultaneously. There are also 8 flipping guide rails 6, with 4 flipping guide rails 6 on the side of each conveyor chain 11. For each conveyor chain 11, the length of the flipping guide rail 6 gradually increases as it approaches the conveyor chain 11. The support member 23 can rotate relative to the carrier member 21, and the support portion of the support member 23 can be a cylindrical structure.

[0051] Optionally, to transfer materials to the feeding port, the synchronous feeding mechanism also includes a feeding module 7 equipped with a conveying component, a camera, and a drive motor. The camera is located above the conveyor belt and is used to capture images of the materials on the conveyor belt and transmit the images to a control object used to control the drive motor. The conveying component includes at least two conveyor belts arranged in a front-to-back manner, which are used to transport materials to the feeding port. The drive motor is connected to different conveyor belts in the conveying component and is used to execute the conveyor belt speed adjustment operation corresponding to the control command after receiving the control command transmitted by the control object based on the image. By changing the speed of different conveyor belts through the conveyor belt speed adjustment operation, the spacing between different materials is changed, so that the conveyed materials can fall into the corresponding hopper 2 (e.g., one material falls into each hopper 2).

[0052] Optionally, the control object can be a host computer or a control chip installed in the drive motor. The control object can be connected to the drive device corresponding to the conveyor chain 11, collect the signal from the encoder in the drive device, and if the signal determines that the hopper 2 is currently below or about to reach the feed port, send a command to control the drive motor to work so that the material is fed into the hopper 2 through the conveying component.

[0053] Optionally, there can be multiple cameras, and one or more of them can be positioned at the feeding port to capture images of the hopper 2 below the feeding port. When the controlled object determines that the hopper 2 is about to reach or is located at the feeding port based on the captured images, it sends a command to control the drive motor to operate, so that the conveying component can promptly feed the material into the hopper 2.

[0054] In one embodiment, the drive motor is equipped with an encoder, and the speed of the drive motor can be adjusted by setting the parameters of the encoder, thereby adjusting the speed of the conveyor belt.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a first conveyor belt 711, a second conveyor belt 712, and a third conveyor belt 713, which are inclined relative to the vertical direction. The second conveyor belt 712 and the third conveyor belt 713 are arranged one after the other, and the same side of the second conveyor belt 712 and the third conveyor belt 713 is connected to one side of the first conveyor belt 711 to form a V-shaped groove for material transport. The drive motors include a first drive motor 721, a second drive motor 722, and a third drive motor 723. The drive end of the first drive motor 721 is connected to the first conveyor belt 711, the drive end of the second drive motor 722 is connected to the second conveyor belt 712, and the drive end of the third drive motor 723 is connected to the third conveyor belt 713.

[0056] Optionally, the third conveyor belt 713 is located on the side of the second conveyor belt 712 near the feed inlet, and the length of the first conveyor belt 711 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the second conveyor belt 712 and the third conveyor belt 713. The controlled object can adjust the rotational speeds of the first conveyor belt 711 and the second conveyor belt 712 according to the rotational speed of the conveyor chain 11 to ensure that the material falls evenly into the hopper 2.

[0057] In one embodiment, after materials enter the conveying assembly, if the captured image determines that the materials are parallel or overlapping, the control object changes the speed of the first conveyor belt 711 or the second conveyor belt 712 to create a differential speed via the first drive motor 721 or the second drive motor 722, thereby separating the parallel or overlapping materials. To ensure that the materials maintain a preset distance corresponding to the hopper 2, the control object can also change the speed of the second conveyor belt 712 or the third conveyor belt 713 to create a differential speed via the second drive motor 722 or the third drive motor 723, thereby bringing the materials closer or increasing the distance between them to a preset distance.

[0058] Optionally, to further organize the materials, the feeding module 7 also includes a material sorting assembly consisting of a first material sorting component 731 and a second material sorting component 732. One end of the first material sorting component 731 is fixed to the side of the second conveyor belt 712 away from the first conveyor belt 711, and the second material sorting component 732 is fixed to the side of the third conveyor belt 713 away from the first conveyor belt 711. The first material sorting component 731 and the second material sorting component 732 are used to separate materials whose distance from each other is less than a preset value.

[0059] Optionally, both the first material handling component 731 and the second material handling component 732 include a crossbar 7311 and a material handler 7312. The crossbar 7311 is located above the conveying assembly, and its first end extends above the bottom of the V-shaped groove. One end of the material handler 7312 is connected to the first end of the crossbar 7311, and its second end extends towards the bottom of the groove. The distance from the second end of the material handler 7312 to the bottom of the groove can be set according to the height of the material.

[0060] Optionally, the feeder 7312 can be connected to a control object of the drive motor. The control object identifies materials whose distance from each other is less than a preset value. When it determines that the material has moved to below the feeder 7312, it controls the second end of the feeder 7312 to lower and contact the material to separate the materials.

[0061] Optionally, to facilitate the removal of materials falling during the tilting of the hopper 2, the synchronous feeding mechanism also includes multiple hoppers 5, each located below the tilting position, with one hopper 5 corresponding to each tilting position. The hopper 5 is tilted, and the opening at the bottom of the hopper 5 faces the side of the housing 4 that has an opening.

[0062] In one embodiment, the hopper 5 includes a material discharge track and a bottom support. The top of the material discharge track is opposite to the tilting position of the hopper 2, and the bottom extends downward at an angle. The bottom support is fixed to the bottom of the material discharge track and includes a crossbar 7311 and a support rod. The crossbars 7311 are arranged side by side, and the material discharge track is fixed to the crossbars 7311. Both ends of the crossbars 7311 are connected to different support rods. The middle part of the support rod is bent upward to form a support portion, and the inclination of the support portion on the side opposite to the material discharge track is consistent with that of the material discharge track.

[0063] The synchronous feeding mechanism of this application embodiment includes a conveying module, a guide rail module, and multiple hoppers arranged in a straight line for tipping and discharging. The conveying module includes conveying chains disposed on both sides of the hoppers. The conveying chains are located below the feeding port and are connected end to end to form a ring conveying structure. The tipping position of the hopper is located on the movement path of the conveying chains. The guide rail module includes multiple tipping guide rails located below the feeding port. The tipping guide rails are laid on at least one side of the support member and extend along the feeding port to the tipping position of the hopper near the discharge port. Each hopper has at least one tipping guide rail. The hopper includes a fixing member and... The carrier is used to carry materials. The two sides of the fixed component are connected to different conveyor chains. The flipping side of the carrier is rotatably connected to the fixed component. Each carrier is mounted on the flipping guide rail corresponding to the hopper. The distance between the hoppers corresponds to the distance between the flipping positions. In this embodiment, the hoppers are flipped synchronously at the flipping positions through the flipping guide rail. This makes it easy for the conveyor belt to receive multiple materials at the same time. There is no need to build multiple conveyor belts or multiple production equipment. This can reduce material waste and equipment idleness, effectively reduce equipment costs and production costs, and reduce the occupation of production space.
