[0025] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an automatic decorative cover feeding device, which includes a feeding component 10, a material changing component 20 slidably mounted on the top of the feeding component, and a feeding robot 30 mounted on one side of the feeding component 10.

[0029] The feeding assembly 10 includes a support frame 11, two lifting plates 12 that can be lifted and installed inside the support frame 11, nut sleeves 13 respectively installed on opposite sides of each lifting plate 12, lead screws 14 that match and connect each nut sleeve 13, and two lifting motors 15 installed at the bottom of the support frame 11; the lifting motors 15 correspond one-to-one with the lifting plates 12 to drive the lifting plates 12 to move up and down inside the support frame 11.

[0030] Specifically, each lead screw 14 is coaxially connected to a driven gear 140 at its bottom end, and the rotor of the lifting motor 15 is coaxially connected to a driving gear 150. The driving gear 150 and the driven gear 140 are connected by a synchronous belt 16, so that the lifting motor 15 can drive the lead screw 14 to rotate synchronously. Then, through the cooperation of the lead screw 14 and the nut sleeve 13, the lifting plate 12 is driven to move up and down inside the bearing frame 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, two lifting plates 12 are arranged side by side; the lifting plates 12 are used to support the pallet 40.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 10 further includes guide sleeves 17 installed at the four opposite corners of the lifting plate 12 and a plurality of guide rods 18 connected inside the bearing frame 11; the guide rods 18 are matched and connected to the guide sleeves 17 one by one, which effectively improves the movement stability of the lifting plate 12.

[0033] The material changing assembly 20 includes a movable plate 21 slidably mounted on the top of the support frame 11, falling cylinders 22 mounted at the four opposite corners of the movable plate 21, suction nozzles 23 respectively mounted at the bottom of each falling cylinder 22, and rodless cylinders 24 mounted on one side of the top of the support frame 11. The rodless cylinders 24 are also connected to the movable plate 21 to drive the movable plate 21 to slide relative to the support frame 11. The suction nozzles 23 are used to pick up the tray 40, so that the tray 40 flows between the two lifting plates 12, which facilitates the loading robot 30 to grab the decorative cover. Specifically, the movable plate 21 can slide above each lifting plate 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the opposite sides of the movable plate 21 are slidably connected to the top of the support frame 11 via guide rail pairs 25. Stops 26 are also connected to the opposite ends of the guide rail pairs 25 to limit the sliding range of the movable plate 21.

[0035] The loading robot 30 is installed at one end of the support frame 11. The loading robot 30 is used to grab decorative covers from trays 40 located on one of the lifting plates 12. In actual use, after the loading robot 30 grabs the decorative covers, it transfers them to the turntable 50 for assembly. When all the decorative covers on a tray 40 have been removed, the moving plate 21 moves above the empty tray 40, the suction nozzle 23 drops and picks up the empty tray 40, and the moving plate 21 resets to transfer the empty tray 40 to another lifting plate 12. After all the decorative covers on the trays 40 have been removed, a new batch of trays 40 can be manually replaced without real-time monitoring, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0036] The above-mentioned automatic decorative cover feeding device has a simple structure and is easy to use. Suction nozzles 23 are installed at the four opposite corners of the moving plate 21. The suction nozzles 23 pick up the tray 40 and move the tray 40 between the two lifting plates 12, realizing automated feeding, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.
