Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material loading technology, specifically a feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Glass bricks have achieved fully automated production. Currently, the only manual operation required is loading glass bricks onto trucks, including loading onto flatbed trucks and containers. The most labor-intensive task is loading glass bricks into containers. There are currently three methods for loading containerized goods: one is to use forklifts to deliver the glass bricks to the container with pallets for manual loading; the second is to use a conveyor belt to deliver the glass bricks to the truck and then use robots to load them; and the third is to use a conveyor belt to deliver the glass bricks to the truck and then use mechanical automation to arrange and push them row by row.

[0003] When loading glass bricks manually, each box is placed according to a preset arrangement. The requirements for the arrangement of glass bricks are that the minimum distance between the two sides and the edge of the container is 24mm, the minimum distance when entering the container door is 16mm, the minimum distance between the top glass brick and the top of the container is 32mm, and the height of the container door lintel is 100mm. Because the glass bricks are arranged very closely, manual loading is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to improve loading efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A feeding mechanism includes a fixed base, a sliding frame, a fourth linear sliding assembly, a conveyor belt assembly, a conveyor motor, and a feeding rack. Multiple sets of sliding frames are stacked vertically, and adjacent sliding frames are connected by the fourth linear sliding assembly, allowing the upper sliding frame to move linearly on the lower sliding frame. One end of the bottom sliding frame is hinged to the fixed base, and the other end is supported by a support block fixed to the fixed base. Each set of sliding frames is provided with a conveyor belt assembly along its direction of movement. The upper sliding frame in adjacent sliding frames is connected to the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt assembly of the lower sliding frame through a first connecting block, and the lower sliding frame in adjacent sliding frames is connected to the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt assembly of the upper sliding frame through a second connecting block. The conveyor motor is fixed to the bottom sliding frame and connected to the conveyor belt assembly on that sliding frame, driving the conveyor motor to rotate the transmission belt on the conveyor belt assembly. The feeding rack is fixed to the top sliding frame.

[0007] By using a combination of sliding frames, a fourth linear sliding assembly, and a conveyor belt assembly, only one set of conveyor motors is needed to achieve the synchronous extension and retraction of four sets of sliding frames. This replaces manual material loading, reducing the number of motors, lowering costs, reducing labor intensity, and improving loading efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the number of sliding frames is four sets.

[0009] Preferably, rollers are also provided at both ends of the feeding rack.

[0010] Preferably, a first pressure sensor is provided on a fixed base below the sliding frame.

[0011] Preferably, the support blocks are L-shaped, with the horizontal sections of the two sets of support blocks arranged opposite each other, and the inner sides of the vertical sections of the two sets of support blocks arranged opposite each other and equipped with a second pressure sensor.

[0012] Preferably, the topmost sliding frame is further provided with guide components at both ends. The guide components include a swing arm, a mounting plate, guide rollers and a third telescopic electric cylinder. One end of the swing arm is hinged to the sliding frame and the other end is connected to the mounting plate. The end of the mounting plate away from the swing arm is provided with multiple guide rollers. One end of the third telescopic electric cylinder is hinged to the sliding frame and the other end is a telescopic end that is hinged to the end of the swing arm near the mounting plate.

[0013] Preferably, a camera is also fixed on the feeding rack.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] By using a combination of sliding frames, a fourth linear sliding assembly, and a conveyor belt assembly, only one set of conveyor motors is needed to achieve the synchronous extension and retraction of four sets of sliding frames. This replaces manual material loading, reducing the number of motors, lowering costs, reducing labor intensity, and improving loading efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this utility model by those skilled in the art, the technical solution of this utility model will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited.

[0022] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment discloses a feeding mechanism, including a fixed base 1, a sliding frame 2, a fourth linear sliding assembly 3, a conveyor belt assembly 4, a conveyor motor 5, a feeding rack 6, a first connecting block 7, and a second connecting block 8. Multiple sets of sliding frames 2 are stacked vertically. In this embodiment, four sets of sliding frames 2 are provided, but not limited to four sets; the specific number can be set according to actual needs. The sliding frames 2 adjacent to each other are connected by the fourth linear sliding assembly 3, so that the upper layer of sliding frames 2 can make horizontal linear movement on the lower layer of sliding frames 2. One end of the bottommost sliding frame 2 is hinged to the fixed base 1, and the other end is fixed to the fixed base. The sliding frame 1 is supported by a support block 101. Each set of sliding frames 2 is equipped with a set of conveyor belt assemblies 4 along its movement direction. The upper sliding frame 2 of the adjacent sliding frames 2 is connected to the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt assembly 4 of the lower sliding frame 2 through a first connecting block 7. The lower sliding frame 2 of the adjacent sliding frames 2 is connected to the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt assembly 4 of the upper sliding frame 2 through a second connecting block 8. The conveyor motor 5 is fixed on the bottom sliding frame 2 and connected to the conveyor belt assembly 4 on the sliding frame 2. The feeding frame 6 is fixed on the top sliding frame 2. The feeding frame 6 is connected to the shovel fork 12 for feeding.

[0023] Specifically, the drive motor 5 drives the transmission belt on the conveyor belt assembly 4 to rotate. Since the transmission belt on the conveyor belt assembly 4 is connected to the second-layer sliding frame 2 through the first connecting block 7, the second-layer sliding frame 2 moves on the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the bottom sliding frame 2. At the same time, since the bottom sliding frame 2 is connected to the second-layer sliding frame 2 through the second connecting block 8, the transmission belt in the conveyor belt assembly 4 on the second-layer sliding frame 2 is driven, thereby causing the third-layer sliding frame 2 to move on the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the second-layer sliding frame 2. Similarly, the top sliding frame 2 moves on the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the third-layer sliding frame 2, thereby driving the movement of the feeding frame 6.

[0024] Furthermore, rollers 9 are provided at both ends of the feeding rack 6, and two sets of first pressure sensors 10 are provided on the fixed seat 1 below the bottom sliding frame 2. Specifically, when there is material on the fork 12, the sliding frame 2 is supported by the support block 101, and the first pressure sensor 10 also receives the pressure of the sliding frame 2. Then, the feeding mechanism transports the fork 12 into the cargo box, and then drives the feeding mechanism to descend. When the first pressure sensor 10 no longer receives the pressure of the sliding frame 2, the rollers 9 are placed in the cargo box, and the support block 101 no longer supports the sliding frame 2. One end of the sliding frame 2 is supported by the fixed seat 1, and the other end is supported by the rollers 9. Then, the transmission motor 5 drives the four sets of sliding frames 2 to move into the cargo box. Under the rolling action of the rollers 9, the forward thrust of the sliding frame 2 is greatly reduced.

[0025] Furthermore, the topmost sliding frame 2 is also equipped with guide components 11 at both ends. The guide components 11 include a swing rod 111, a mounting plate 112, guide rollers 113, and a third telescopic electric cylinder 114. One end of the swing rod 111 is hinged to the sliding frame 2, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 112. The end of the mounting plate 112 away from the swing rod 111 is provided with multiple guide rollers 113. One end of the third telescopic electric cylinder 114 is hinged to the sliding frame 2, and the other end is a telescopic end that is hinged to the end of the swing rod 111 near the mounting plate 112. Specifically, during the movement of the sliding frame 2, the guide rollers 113 are in contact with the side of the fence device for guidance.

[0026] Furthermore, the support block 101 is L-shaped, and the horizontal sections of the two sets of support blocks 101 are arranged opposite each other and are used to support the bottom sliding frame 2. The inner sides of the vertical sections of the two sets of support blocks 101 are arranged opposite each other and are equipped with second pressure sensors (not shown in the figure). When one of the second pressure sensors receives pressure, it indicates that the sliding frame 2 has shifted. The sliding frame 2 is moved back by driving the third telescopic electric cylinder 114 to extend and retract until the second pressure sensor no longer receives pressure and the extension and retraction of the third telescopic electric cylinder 114 is stopped.

[0027] Furthermore, a camera (not shown in the figure) is also fixed on the feeding rack 6 to detect whether the material is tilted or protruding, and to trigger an alarm if the limit is exceeded.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Material is piled on the fork 12, and the drive motor 5 rotates the transmission belt on the conveyor belt assembly 4, causing the second-layer sliding frame 2 to move on the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the bottom sliding frame 2. Since the bottom sliding frame 2 is connected to the second-layer sliding frame 2 via the second connecting block 8, the transmission belt in the conveyor belt assembly 4 on the second-layer sliding frame 2 is driven, thereby causing the third-layer sliding frame 2 to move on the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the second-layer sliding frame 2. Similarly, the top sliding frame 2... The sliding mechanism moves along the fourth linear sliding assembly 3 on the third-layer sliding frame 2, thereby driving the fork 12 on the feeding frame 6 to move into the cargo box, and then driving the feeding mechanism to descend. When the first pressure sensor 10 no longer receives pressure from the sliding frame 2, the roller 9 is placed inside the cargo box, and the support block 101 no longer supports the sliding frame 2. One end of the sliding frame 2 is supported by the fixed seat 1, and the other end is supported by the roller 9. Then, the transmission motor 5 drives the four sets of sliding frames 2 to move into the cargo box. Under the rolling action of the roller 9, the forward thrust of the sliding frame 2 is greatly reduced. During the movement of the fork 12 into the cargo box, the guide roller 113 is in contact with the side of the fence device for guidance. The pressure of the sliding frame 2 is received by the second pressure sensor. When it receives pressure, it indicates that the sliding frame 2 has deviated. The third telescopic electric cylinder 114 is driven to extend and retract to drive the sliding frame 2 back until the second pressure sensor no longer receives pressure and the extension and retraction of the third telescopic electric cylinder 114 stops.

[0029] In summary, this embodiment, through the coordinated arrangement of the sliding frame 2, the fourth linear sliding component 3, and the conveyor belt component 4, enables the synchronous extension and retraction of four sets of sliding frames 2 with only one set of conveyor motors 5, replacing manual material loading. This not only reduces the number of motors and lowers costs, but also reduces labor intensity and improves loading efficiency.
