Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, specifically a flexible feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated production, flexible feeding devices are widely used in industries such as electronics, automobiles, and medical devices because they can adapt to the feeding needs of materials of various shapes and sizes. One of their core functions is to achieve continuous and equidistant feeding of materials to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent processing and assembly processes.

[0003] However, in order to achieve the requirements of continuous material conveying and maintaining a fixed distance between adjacent materials, traditional devices usually need to be equipped with multiple independent drive components. Each drive component is responsible for different aspects such as material lifting, translation, and interval adjustment. This limits the installation and use of the device in a confined space and also increases the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment. To address these issues, the inventors have proposed a flexible feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problem of manufacturing cost of flexible feeding devices, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a flexible feeding device.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a flexible feeding device, including a conveyor belt, a fixed plate fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor belt, a swing plate rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate, a rotating plate rotatably connected to one end of the swing plate, a suction cup provided at the bottom end of the rotating plate, a translation component provided between the swing plate and the rotating plate, the translation component being used to adjust the relative angle between the rotating plate and the swing plate, an equidistant feeding component provided on the side of the fixed plate away from the swing plate, the equidistant feeding component being used to achieve equidistant feeding, a reciprocating swing component provided on one side of the equidistant feeding component, the reciprocating swing component being used to drive the swing plate to reciprocate, a fixed tube fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating plate, a sleeve movably snapped onto the outside of the fixed tube, a suction cup fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve, a fixed block fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve, a spring provided between the top surface of the fixed block and the bottom surface of the rotating plate, the spring being movably sleeved on the outside of the sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the translation component includes a first synchronous wheel, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate. The rotating shaft of the swing plate is movably disposed inside the first synchronous wheel. One end of the rotating shaft of the rotating plate extends to one side of the swing plate and is fixedly connected to a second synchronous wheel. The outer sides of the first synchronous wheel and the second synchronous wheel are connected by a synchronous belt drive.

[0007] Preferably, the equidistant feeding assembly includes a turntable, which is rotatably connected to one side of a fixed plate. A lever is fixedly connected to one side of the turntable's rotating shaft, and a pin is fixedly connected to one end of the lever. An intermittent wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor belt's synchronous shaft. The side of the intermittent wheel has centrally symmetrically distributed movable grooves, and the pin is movably engaged in the movable grooves. An arc-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent movable grooves. The arc-shaped surface of the turntable matches the arc-shaped groove. A stepper motor is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate, and the drive end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the turntable.

[0008] Preferably, the reciprocating oscillating assembly includes a swing arm rotatably connected to one side of the top of the fixed plate. The swing arm has a sliding groove.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] When the swing arm reciprocates vertically, the position of synchronous wheel one is fixed, and synchronous wheel one and synchronous wheel two are connected by synchronous belt drive, thus achieving zero-slip transmission. Furthermore, synchronous wheel one and synchronous wheel two have the same diameter. Thus, when the swing plate swings, the rotating plate and suction cup are always in a vertical state, realizing the material picking and placing operation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a flexible feeding device, including a conveyor belt 1, a fixed plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor belt 1, a swing plate 3 rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate 2, a rotating plate 4 rotatably connected to one end of the swing plate 3, a suction cup 5 provided at the bottom end of the rotating plate 4, a translation component 6 provided between the swing plate 3 and the rotating plate 4, the translation component 6 being used to adjust the relative angle between the rotating plate 4 and the swing plate 3, an equidistant feeding component 7 provided on the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the swing plate 3, the equidistant feeding component 7 being used to achieve equidistant feeding, and a reciprocating swing component 8 provided on one side of the equidistant feeding component 7, the reciprocating swing component 8 being used to drive the swing plate 3 to reciprocate.

[0019] The translation component 6 includes a first synchronous wheel 61, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed plate 2. The rotating shaft of the swing plate 3 is movably disposed inside the first synchronous wheel 61. One end of the rotating shaft of the rotating plate 4 extends to one side of the swing plate 3 and is fixedly connected to a second synchronous wheel 62. The outer sides of the first synchronous wheel 61 and the second synchronous wheel 62 are connected by a synchronous belt drive.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the swing plate 3 rotates at an angle, since the position of the first synchronous wheel 61 is fixed, and the first synchronous wheel 61 and the second synchronous wheel 62 are connected by synchronous belt transmission, a slip-free transmission is achieved. Furthermore, the diameters of the first synchronous wheel 61 and the second synchronous wheel 62 are equal. Thus, when the swing plate 3 swings, the rotating plate 4 and the suction cup 5 are always in a vertical state.

[0021] The equidistant feeding assembly 7 includes a turntable 71, which is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate 2. A lever 72 is fixedly connected to one side of the turntable 71's shaft, and a pin 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the lever 72. An intermittent wheel 74 is fixedly connected to one end of the synchronous shaft of the conveyor belt 1. The side of the intermittent wheel 74 has centrally symmetrically distributed movable grooves 75. The pin 73 is movably engaged in the movable grooves 75. An arc-shaped groove 76 is provided between two adjacent movable grooves 75. The arc-shaped surface of the turntable 71 matches the arc-shaped groove 76. A stepper motor 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate 2, and the drive end of the stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the turntable 71.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the suction cup 5 completes a material picking cycle, under the coordinated action of each component of the equidistant feeding assembly 7, the conveyor belt 1 moves at equal distances, thereby realizing the equidistant placement of materials on the conveyor belt 1.

[0023] The reciprocating swing assembly 8 includes a swing rod 81, which is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the fixed plate 2. A slide groove 82 is provided on the swing rod 81. A crank 83 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the turntable 71, and a guide post 84 is fixedly connected to one end of the crank 83. The guide post 84 is movably engaged in the slide groove 82.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the turntable 71 rotates, it drives the crank 83 and the guide column 84 to rotate. By utilizing the cooperation between the slide groove 82 and the guide column 84, it drives the swing rod 81 to swing vertically back and forth, thereby realizing the vertical back and forth swing of the swing plate 3.

[0025] Gear 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the swing arm 81. One end of the swing plate 3's rotating shaft extends to one side of the fixed plate 2 and is fixedly connected to gear 14. Gear 14 meshes with gear 15.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the swing arm 81 swings vertically back and forth, it drives the gear 2 15 to rotate. The gear 14 meshes with the gear 2 15, and at the same time drives the swing plate 3 to swing at a fixed angle, thereby realizing the material picking and putting operation.

[0027] A fixed tube 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating plate 4. A sleeve 10 is movably snapped onto the outside of the fixed tube 9. A suction cup 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve 10. A fixed block 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 10. A spring 12 is provided between the top surface of the fixed block 11 and the bottom surface of the rotating plate 4. The spring 12 is movably sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 10.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when the suction cup 5 comes into contact with the material, it pushes the sleeve 10 to slide along the inside of the fixed tube 9 toward the side of the spring 12, thereby achieving flexible contact with the material and avoiding damage to the material.

[0029] The diameter of gear 2, 15 is larger than the diameter of gear 1, 14.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the diameter of gear 2 15 to be larger than the diameter of gear 14, the swing angle of the swing plate 3 is made larger than the swing angle of the swing rod 81, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0031] Working principle: When feeding materials equidistantly and flexibly, the stepper motor 13 drives the turntable 71 to rotate, which in turn drives the crank 83 and guide column 84 to rotate. Utilizing the cooperation between the slide groove 82 and the guide column 84, the swing arm 81 is driven to swing vertically back and forth. When the swing plate 3 rotates at an angle, the position of the first synchronous wheel 61 is fixed. The first synchronous wheel 61 and the second synchronous wheel 62 are connected by a synchronous belt drive, thus achieving zero-slip transmission. Furthermore, the diameters of the first synchronous wheel 61 and the second synchronous wheel 62 are equal. Thus, when the swing plate 3 swings, the rotating plate 4 and the suction cup 5 remain in a vertical state. When the suction cup 5 comes into contact with the material, it pushes the sleeve 10 to slide along the inside of the fixed tube 9 towards the side of the spring 12, thereby achieving flexible contact with the material and avoiding damage to the material, thus realizing the material picking and unloading operation.

[0032] Meanwhile, when the suction cup 5 completes a material feeding cycle, the conveyor belt 1 moves at equal distances under the coordinated action of the components of the equidistant feeding assembly 7, thereby realizing the equidistant placement of materials on the conveyor belt 1.

[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
