[0002] With the continuous development of technology, the efficiency of industrial production and processing is getting higher and higher. One of the guarantees of high-efficiency production is the high-efficiency automated feeding equipment, which can quickly and efficiently realize the transfer of materials and plays an important role in modern industrial production and processing.
[0003] Most existing automatic feeders use a method of grabbing materials during material movement, which can easily lead to unstable material grabbing. Alternatively, they may use a method of grabbing materials while the machine is stopped, which can easily result in low conveying efficiency. Or they may use a limiting structure to block and limit the material, which can easily cause the material to collide with the limiting structure and damage the surface of the material. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electromechanical integrated automatic feeder that can stop feeding the end material while continuously conveying the remaining materials, so as to facilitate stable material gripping by the external structure, and achieve stable feeding with high feeding efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An electromechanical integrated automatic feeder includes a support frame. A first conveyor and a second conveyor are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support frame. The second conveyor is located at the conveying end of the first conveyor. A mounting groove is provided on the symmetrical side surface of the second conveyor, and a photoelectric switch is snapped into the inside of the mounting groove. A first reducer is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the second conveyor. The output end of the first reducer is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the second conveyor. A first servo motor is mounted on the input end of the first reducer. A control box is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the first conveyor. A PLC controller and a first servo driver are installed inside the control box.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the material at the end can be stopped from being transported, which improves the stability of material gripping, ensures the conveying efficiency, and avoids damage to the material, making it highly practical.
[0008] Furthermore, the first servo motor is electrically connected to the first servo driver, the first servo driver is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the photoelectric switch is electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a PLC controller can be used for control operations.
[0010] Furthermore, a cleaning tank is installed on the inner side of the support frame, a submersible pump is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, a water guide pipe is fixedly installed on the outlet pipe of the submersible pump, a nozzle is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water guide pipe, and multiple spray holes are provided on the upper surface of the nozzle.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying surface of the first conveyor can be sprayed and cleaned.
[0012] Furthermore, a filter plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and multiple filter holes are provided on the outer surface of the filter plate. The water guide pipe passes through the mounting hole on the outer surface of the filter plate. A material discharge notch is provided at one side edge of the cleaning tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side surface of the cleaning tank.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning wastewater can be filtered.
[0014] Furthermore, a scraper is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame, the scraper is attached to the conveying surface of the first conveyor, and the scraper is located above the filter plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying surface of the first conveyor can be scraped.
[0016] Furthermore, a second servo driver is installed inside the control box. The second servo driver is electrically connected to the PLC controller. A second reducer is fixedly installed on the side surface of the first conveyor. The output end of the second reducer is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft of the first conveyor. A second servo motor is installed at the input end of the second reducer. The second servo motor is electrically connected to the second servo driver.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first conveyor can be effectively controlled.
[0018] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. This utility model enables the first and second conveyors to rotate synchronously at the same speed and in the same direction during material conveying. Materials are placed one by one on the second conveyor. When a material is placed between two photoelectric switches, it blocks the light between the switches. The photoelectric switches then transmit an electrical signal to the PLC controller, which stops the second conveyor. The external gripping structure can then stably grip the material. After the material is removed from the second conveyor, it resumes rotation. This method stops the conveying of the final material, ensuring the external gripping structure can stably grip the material. Simultaneously, the material will not collide with the blocking structure, preventing surface damage. This method offers high material feeding efficiency and a high degree of material protection.
[0020] 2. During use, the submersible pump is activated to draw cleaning water from inside the cleaning tank. The water flows along the guide pipe and is then sprayed out from the spray nozzle. The sprayed water effectively washes the conveying surface of the first conveyor. As the first conveyor continues to operate, a scraper on one side effectively scrapes water from the conveying surface, ensuring it remains relatively dry. Wastewater falls into the cleaning tank. A filter plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, effectively filtering the wastewater and ensuring the cleaning water can be reused. After a period of use, external cleaning tools can be used to clean the accumulated debris on the filter plate through the discharge opening on one side of the cleaning tank. Simultaneously, the bottom drain pipe empties the cleaning water from the tank, facilitating water replacement. This structure effectively ensures the long-term cleanliness of the first conveyor's conveying surface, significantly improving both functionality and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The method of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An electromechanical integrated automatic feeding machine includes a support frame 1. A first conveyor 2 and a second conveyor 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support frame 1. The second conveyor 3 is located at the conveying end of the first conveyor 2. A mounting groove is provided on each of the symmetrical side surfaces of the second conveyor 3, and a photoelectric switch 4 is snapped into the inside of the mounting groove. A first reducer 11 is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the second conveyor 3. The output end of the first reducer 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the second conveyor 3. A first servo motor 12 (SGMGV) is mounted on the input end of the first reducer 11. A control box 5 is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the first conveyor 2. A PLC controller 6 and a first servo driver 7 are installed inside the control box 5. The first servo motor 12 is electrically connected to the first servo driver 7, and the first servo driver 7 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 6. The photoelectric switch 4 is also present. Switch 4 is electrically connected to PLC controller 6. During material conveying, it enables the first conveyor 2 and the second conveyor 3 to rotate synchronously at the same speed and in the same direction. Materials are placed one by one onto the second conveyor 3. When a material is placed between two photoelectric switches 4, it blocks the light between them. The photoelectric switches 4 then transmit an electrical signal to the PLC controller 6, which stops the second conveyor 3. At this point, the external gripping structure can stably grip the material. After the material is removed from the second conveyor 3, it resumes rotation. This action stops the conveying of material at the end, ensuring stable gripping by the external gripping structure and preventing collisions with the obstruction structure, thus avoiding surface damage. This method offers high material feeding efficiency and a high degree of material protection.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3A cleaning tank 9 is installed inside the support frame 1. A submersible pump is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 9, and a water guide pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the outlet pipe of the submersible pump. A nozzle 16 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water guide pipe 17. Multiple spray holes are provided on the upper surface of the nozzle 16. A filter plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 9. Multiple filter holes are provided on the outer surface of the filter plate 10. The water guide pipe 17 passes through the mounting holes on the outer surface of the filter plate 10. A material discharge notch is provided on one side edge of the cleaning tank 9. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side surface of the cleaning tank 9. A scraper 15 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 1. The scraper 15 is attached to the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2 and is located above the filter plate 10. During use, the submersible pump can be started to draw cleaning water from inside the cleaning tank 9 and make the cleaning water flow along the water guide pipe 17 and finally out of the spray holes of the nozzle 16. The sprayed cleaning water effectively washes the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2. As the first conveyor 2 continues to operate, the scraper 15 on one side effectively scrapes the water from the conveying surface, ensuring that the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2 remains relatively dry. The wastewater generated falls into the cleaning tank 9. Since a filter plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 9, the filter plate 10 can efficiently filter the wastewater generated during cleaning, ensuring that the cleaning water can be reused. After a period of use, the debris accumulated on the filter plate 10 can be cleaned from the discharge notch on one side of the cleaning tank 9 using an external material removal tool. At the same time, the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 9 can be drained using the drain pipe at the bottom, facilitating the replacement of the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 9. This structure can effectively ensure the long-term cleanliness of the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2, and both functionality and practicality are effectively improved.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The control box 5 houses a second servo driver 8, which is electrically connected to the PLC controller 6. A second reducer 13 is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the first conveyor 2. The output end of the second reducer 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft of the first conveyor 2. A second servo motor 14 (SGMGV) is mounted on the input end of the second reducer 13. The second servo motor 14 is electrically connected to the second servo driver 8. The rotation of the second servo motor 14 can be controlled by the cooperation between the PLC controller 6 and the second servo driver 8. The second servo motor 14 drives the second reducer 13 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the first conveyor 2.
[0029] Working Principle: First, install the device at the designated location. Then, the first servo motor 12 and the second servo motor 14 provide power to the second conveyor 3 and the first conveyor 2 respectively, causing the first conveyor 2 and the second conveyor 3 to rotate synchronously at the same speed and in the same direction. This allows for material conveying. The material is placed one by one on the second conveyor 3. When the material is placed between the two photoelectric switches 4, it blocks the light between the two photoelectric switches 4. At this time, the photoelectric switches 4 transmit an electrical signal to the PLC controller 6, which controls the second conveyor 3 to stop rotating. The external gripping structure can then stably grip the material. After the material is removed from the second conveyor 3, the second conveyor 3 continues to rotate. This action stops the conveying of the final material, ensuring that the external gripping structure can stably grip the material. Simultaneously, the material will not collide with the blocking structure, avoiding damage to the material surface. The material feeding efficiency is high. During use, the submersible pump is started... The water pump draws cleaning water from inside the cleaning tank 9 and makes the cleaning water flow along the water guide pipe 17, and finally sprays it out from the spray hole of the nozzle 16. The sprayed cleaning water can effectively wash the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2. As the first conveyor 2 continues to operate, the scraper 15 located on one side can effectively scrape water from the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2 to ensure that the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2 remains relatively dry. The wastewater generated falls into the interior of the cleaning tank 9. Since a filter plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 9, the filter plate 10 can perform efficient filtration of the wastewater generated during cleaning, ensuring that the cleaning water can be reused. After a period of use, the debris accumulated on the filter plate 10 can be cleaned from the material discharge notch on one side of the cleaning tank 9 using an external material removal tool. At the same time, the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 9 can be drained using the drain pipe at the bottom, which facilitates the replacement of the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 9. This structure can effectively ensure the long-term cleanliness of the conveying surface of the first conveyor 2.
