They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the feeding and transferring equipment of this utility model includes a positioning mechanism 10 and a transfer mechanism 20, which are used to position the product. After positioning, the product is moved out through the transfer mechanism 20 and connected to the subsequent processing station.
[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning mechanism 10 includes a first conveying module 11, a lifting module 12, and a clamping and positioning module 13. The first conveying module 11 includes a plurality of conveyor belts 111 arranged at intervals. The lifting module 12 includes a lifting frame 121 located at the bottom of the conveyor belts 111 and a roller assembly 14 located at the upper end of the lifting frame 121. The roller assembly 14 is spaced apart from the conveyor belts 111. The clamping and positioning module 13 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged movable arms 131. The lifting frame 121 is used to drive the roller assembly 14 to move upward, lift the product and remove it from the first conveying module 11. The movable arms 131 move closer to each other to clamp and position the product. In practical applications, the product is placed on the first conveying module 11, and the lifting frame 121 moves upward to lift the product, causing the product to separate from the conveyor belt 111; at the same time, the two movable arms 131 move closer to each other, pushing the product to roll on the roller group 14 until the product is clamped, thus completing the positioning of the product; after the positioning is completed, the lifting frame 121 moves downward to place the product on the first transmission module.
[0033] Specifically, the first conveying module 11 further includes a frame 112, transmission rollers 113 located at both ends of the inner side of the frame 112 and inside the conveyor belt 111, and a drive module 114 drivenly connected to the transmission rollers 113. The drive module 114 includes a rotating motor 115 and a transmission belt 116 drivenly connected, with the transmission belt 116 sleeved on the outside of the transmission rollers 113. The rotating motor 115 drives the transmission belt 116 to rotate the transmission rollers 113, thereby driving the conveyor belt 111 to rotate. A vision sensor 117 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 112, with the sensing end of the vision sensor 117 facing the conveyor belt 111 to sense whether there is a product on the frame 112.
[0034] Specifically, the lifting module 12 also includes a lifting cylinder 122 located at the lower end of the lifting frame 121, which drives the vertical lifting of the lifting frame 121. Additionally, the roller assembly 14 includes a mounting frame 141 and multiple guide wheels 142 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 141. When the lifting frame 121 rises, the guide wheels 142 protrude from the upper surface of the first conveying module 11, and under the push of the movable arm 131, the product moves on the guide wheels 142, reducing friction.
[0035] Specifically, the clamping and positioning module 13 also includes a first drive motor 132 and a first drive belt 133 connected by a drive, and the movable arms 131 are respectively fixed on the drive belt; the first drive motor 132 drives the first drive belt 133 to rotate, so as to drive the movable arms 131 to move closer or further away from each other, and this transmission method is stable.
[0036] Please see Figure 4The transfer mechanism 20 includes a second conveying module 21 and a transfer robot 22; the second conveying module 21 is connected to the first conveying module 11, and the transfer robot 22 is located above the second conveying module 21; the transfer robot 22 is used to transfer the positioned product to the second conveying module 21.
[0037] Specifically, the transfer robot 22 includes a Y-axis drive module 221, an X-axis drive module 222, a Z-axis drive module 223, and a gripping component 224. The Y-axis drive module 221, X-axis drive module 222, and Z-axis drive module 223 are connected in sequence, and the gripping component 224 is connected to the drive end of the Z-axis drive module 223. The Y-axis drive module 221, X-axis drive module 222, and Z-axis drive module 223 drive the gripping component 224 to move between the first conveying module 11 and the second conveying module 21. A three-axis drive system is adopted, providing high freedom of movement. The Y-axis drive module 221, X-axis drive module 222, and Z-axis drive module 223 all use linear sliding modules, resulting in high response speed and high working efficiency.
[0038] Specifically, the gripping assembly 224 includes a connecting frame 225, a horizontal drive module 226, two gripping arms 227, and a flipping module 228. The connecting frame 225 is connected to the lower end of the Z-axis drive module 223. The horizontal drive module 226 is mounted on the connecting frame 225. The gripping arms 227 are connected to the horizontal drive module 226, and the horizontal drive module 226 drives the two gripping arms 227 to move closer or further apart. The flipping module 228 is located on the side of the gripping arms 227 to flip the gripping arms 227. The horizontal drive module 226 includes a second drive motor and a second drive belt. The two gripping arms 227 are respectively fixed on the second drive belt. The second drive motor drives the second drive belt to rotate, thereby causing the two gripping arms 227 to move closer or further apart horizontally. The flipping module 228 includes a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the gripping arm 227. The telescopic cylinder extends and retracts to flip the gripping arm 227, thereby clamping or releasing the product.

The second conveying module 21 is connected to the subsequent processing station, and the use of the transfer robot 22 can improve transfer accuracy and efficiency.
[0040] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it 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 this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
