Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1-9 The present invention discloses a novel pusher wheel linkage feeding mechanism, which consists of six parts, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the device includes a fixed plate 1, a feeding box 2, a rotary feeding unit 3, an X-axis feeding unit 4, a Y-axis feeding unit 5, and a pushing unit 6. The fixed plate 1 is horizontally positioned. The feeding box 2 is installed on top of the fixed plate 1 and is used to hold materials. The rotary feeding unit 3 is installed on top of the fixed plate 1 and is located behind the feeding box 2. The rotary feeding unit 3 is used to flip the materials to a horizontal position. The X-axis feeding unit 4 is installed on top of the fixed plate 1 and is used to push the materials in the feeding box 2 along the X-axis direction. The Y-axis feeding unit 5 is installed on top of the fixed plate 1 and is located in front of the feeding box 2. The Y-axis feeding unit 5 is used to push the materials in the feeding box 2 into the rotary feeding unit 3. The pushing unit 6 is installed on top of the fixed plate 1 and is located in front of the rotary feeding unit 3. The pushing unit 6 is used to push the materials out of the rotary feeding unit 3.

[0061] This utility model is applicable to block-shaped square materials, and in this embodiment, it is particularly applicable to a square material with dimensions of 64mm*38mm*8mm. The fixing plate 1 is used to install the pusher wheel linkage feeding mechanism of this invention. The fixing plate 1 is horizontally positioned and can be installed on the ground, platform, or frame. The specific structure of the feeding box 2 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, several square materials are vertically stacked in the feeding box 2. An X-axis push-out is provided on the side wall of the feeding box 2 along the X-axis direction, which cooperates with the X-axis feeding unit 4. On the opposite side walls of the feeding box 2 along the Y-axis direction, a Y-axis push-in and a Y-axis push-out are respectively provided. The Y-axis push-out is slightly larger than the thickness of one material. The Y-axis feeding unit 5 pushes the material into the rotary feeding unit 3 through the Y-axis push-out. By setting up the rotary feeding unit 3, X-axis feeding unit 4, Y-axis feeding unit 5, and push-out unit 6, a modular design is achieved, significantly reducing the equipment's footprint, simplifying the mechanical structure, improving feeding efficiency, reducing equipment procurement and maintenance costs, and adapting to the functional and operational requirements of small and medium-sized production lines.

[0062] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the rotary feeding unit 3 includes a mounting frame 30, a rotating shaft 31, a rotary feeding disc 32, a motor mounting bracket 34, a servo motor 35, a drive wheel 36, a driven wheel 37, a synchronous belt 38, and a discharge channel 39. The mounting frame 30 is mounted on the top of the fixed plate 1. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 30, with one end of the rotating shaft 31 extending out of the mounting frame 30. The rotary feeding disc 32 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 30 via the rotating shaft 31. Several... The dry feeding hole 33, the motor mounting bracket 34 is mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting frame 30, the servo motor 35 is mounted on the outer side wall of the motor mounting bracket 34, the drive wheel 36 is mounted on the output end of the servo motor 35, the driven wheel 37 is mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 31, the synchronous belt 38 is connected between the drive wheel 36 and the driven wheel 37, and the discharge channel 39 is mounted on the top of the fixed plate 1 and located behind the rotating feeding plate 32. The discharge channel 39 is used to support the material pushed out from the rotating feeding plate 32.

[0063] In this embodiment, the specific shape of the rotating feeding disc 32 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the rotating feeding tray 32 has a regular octagonal prism structure, with feeding holes 33 located on its rectangular side. The feeding holes 33 are composed of through slots and cover plates formed on the side of the rotating feeding tray 32. The size and shape of the feeding holes 33 can be adjusted according to the material. The rotating feeding tray 32 is driven by a servo motor 35, coupled with a high-precision synchronous belt 38, enabling the rotating feeding tray 32 to achieve a rotational positioning accuracy of ±0.1 degrees. There are eight feeding holes 33. When the rotating feeding tray 32 rotates from one feeding hole 33 to the next, the rotation angle is 45 degrees. The positioning of the rotating feeding tray 32 relative to the feeding box 2 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding hole 33 on the right corresponds to the Y-axis push-in and Y-axis push-out of the feeding box 2, and the material enters in a vertical posture. The positions of the rotating feeding plate 32 and the discharge channel 39 are as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the bottommost feeding hole 33 corresponds to the discharge channel 39, and the material is in a horizontal position when it is pushed out. The Y-axis feeding unit 5 pushes the material from the feeding box 2 to the feeding hole 33 on the right. After the rotating feeding plate 32 rotates 270 degrees, the material comes to the bottom and flips from a vertical position to a horizontal position. Then, it is pushed out by the pushing unit 6 to the discharge channel 39 to complete the discharge.

[0064] like Figure 7As shown, the X-axis feeding unit 4 includes an X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41, an X-axis limiting block 43, and a material blocking cylinder 44. The X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 1, and an X-axis feeding plate 42 is installed at the output end of the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41. The X-axis limiting block 43 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 1 and is used to limit the X-axis feeding plate 42. The material blocking cylinder 44 is installed at the bottom of the feeding box 2 and is arranged along the X-axis direction. A material blocking plate 45 is installed at the output end of the material blocking cylinder 44, and a material blocking block 46 is installed on the side wall of the material blocking plate 45. The material blocking block 46 passes through the side wall of the feeding box 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the shape of the X-axis loading plate 42 is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the X-axis feeding plate 42 is mounted on the electric cylinder slider of the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 via an L-shaped mounting plate. The material blocking cylinder 44 is positioned as follows. Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the feeding box 2 has a through hole through which the material blocking block 46 can pass. The length of the material blocking block 46 extending into the feeding box 2 is equal to the thickness of one material. The bottom of the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 is provided with a mounting block, which elevates the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 so that the X-axis feeding plate 42 can cooperate with the feeding box 2. In use, several square materials are vertically stacked in the feeding box 2. The X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 is activated to push the materials to the material blocking block 46. The material blocking cylinder 44 is activated to remove the material blocking block 46 from the feeding box 2. Then the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 is activated again, and the X-axis feeding plate 42 pushes the materials to move. The Y-axis feeding unit 5 pushes the first material into the feeding hole 33.

[0066] like Figure 8 As shown, the Y-axis feeding unit 5 includes an electric cylinder mounting plate 51, a Y-axis feeding electric cylinder 52, and a Y-axis limiting block 55. The electric cylinder mounting plate 51 is mounted on the top of the fixed plate 1, and the Y-axis feeding electric cylinder 52 is mounted on the top of the electric cylinder mounting plate 51. A Y-axis feeding plate 53 is mounted on the output end of the Y-axis feeding electric cylinder 52. An avoidance groove 54 is provided on the side wall of the Y-axis feeding plate 53. The Y-axis limiting block 55 is mounted on the side wall of the electric cylinder mounting plate 51 and is used to limit the Y-axis feeding plate 53.

[0067] In this embodiment, the shape of the Y-axis loading plate 53 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the Y-axis loading electric cylinder 52 is raised by the electric cylinder mounting plate 51 so that the Y-axis loading electric cylinder 52 can cooperate with the loading box 2. The position of the clearance groove 54 is as follows. Figure 8As shown, the clearance groove 54 is for avoiding the material blocking block 46. The length of the clearance groove 54 should not be less than the stroke of the Y-axis feed plate 53. If the material blocking cylinder 44 malfunctions, the Y-axis feed plate 53 can avoid the material blocking block 46 through the clearance groove 54, preventing the Y-axis feed plate 53 from making hard contact with the material blocking block 46 and causing damage. In use, the Y-axis feed electric cylinder 52 is started, and the Y-axis feed plate 53 will pass through the feed box 2 and push the first material into the feed hole 33.

[0068] like Figure 9 As shown, the pushing unit 6 includes a pushing electric cylinder 61 and a pushing limiting block 63. The pushing electric cylinder 61 is mounted on the top of the fixed plate 1, and a pushing plate 62 is mounted on the output end of the pushing electric cylinder 61. The pushing limiting block 63 is mounted on the top of the fixed plate 1 and is used to limit the pushing plate 62. In this embodiment, the shape of the pushing plate 62 is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the length and thickness of the pusher plate 62 should be slightly smaller than the length and height of the opening of the feeding hole 33. The pusher plate 62 is directly opposite the feeding hole 33 directly below the rotating feeding plate 32. In use, the pusher cylinder 61 is activated, and the pusher plate 62 pushes the material in the feeding hole 33 directly below the rotating feeding plate 32 to the discharge channel 39 to complete the discharge.

[0069] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a detection groove 71, a first through-beam sensor 72, a proximity sensor 73, and a second through-beam sensor 74. The detection groove 71 is opened on the side wall of the feeding hole 33. The first through-beam sensor 72 is installed in pairs, one of which is installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 30 and the other is installed on the top of the fixing plate 1. The first through-beam sensor 72 cooperates with the detection groove 71 to detect whether there is material in the feeding hole 33. The proximity sensor 73 is installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 30 and is used to detect whether the rotating feeding plate 32 is in place. The second through-beam sensor 74 is installed in pairs on the opposite side walls of the discharge channel 39 and is used to detect whether there is material in the discharge channel 39.

[0070] In this embodiment, the positions of the through-beam sensor 72, proximity sensor 73, and through-beam sensor 74 are as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, each feeding hole 33 has a detection groove 71 on its side wall. The detection groove 71 and the through-beam sensor 72 form a feeding detection system, which can monitor the material loading status in real time. The rotating feeding plate 32 has through slots corresponding to the feeding holes 33. This is done to cooperate with the proximity sensor 73. When the proximity sensor 73 is at the through slot, it has no signal. When the proximity sensor 73 is at the junction of the slots, it detects the rotating feeding plate 32 and sends a signal. The servo motor 35 uses these signals to determine whether the rotation of the rotating feeding plate 32 is in place. After the proximity sensor 73 confirms that it is in place, the pusher cylinder 61 starts to push the material to the discharge channel 39, ensuring that each piece of material enters the next process in a standard horizontal position. The through-beam sensor 74 is used to detect whether the material pushed by the pusher plate 62 into the discharge channel 39 is in place. The through-beam sensor 74 can detect the discharge status and whether there is still material in the feeding box 2.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, the motor mounting bracket 34 includes a base plate 341, a motor connecting plate 342, a side plate 343, and an adjusting stud 345. The base plates 341 are arranged in pairs and mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting frame 30. The motor connecting plate 342 is mounted on the base plate 341, and the servo motor 35 is mounted on the motor connecting plate 342. The side plate 343 is mounted on the side wall of the base plate 341, and a fixing groove 344 is formed on the side wall of the side plate 343. The adjusting stud 345 is installed in the fixing groove 344 and can rotate within the fixing groove 344. The adjusting stud 345 is threadedly connected to the motor connecting plate 342. In this embodiment, the tension of the synchronous belt 38 can be adjusted via the motor mounting bracket 34. Two limiting flanges are formed on the circumferential side wall of the adjusting stud 345. The adjusting stud 345 forms a rotatable engaging connection with the side plate 343 through the two limiting flanges and the fixing groove 344. The end of the adjusting stud 345 is connected to the threaded part of the motor connecting plate 342. By rotating the adjusting stud 345, the position of the motor connecting plate 342 on the base plate 341 can be precisely controlled. After the synchronous belt 38 is tensioned, the motor connecting plate 342 can be fixed by bolts.

[0072] The usage process of this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0073] First, the material is vertically stacked in the feeding box 2. The X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 drives the X-axis feeding plate 42 to push the material to the material blocking block 46. At the same time, the material blocking cylinder 44 is activated to remove the material blocking block 46 from the feeding box 2. Then the X-axis feeding electric cylinder 41 is activated again, and the X-axis feeding plate 42 pushes the material to move, completing the X-axis feeding.

[0074] Secondly, the Y-axis feeding electric cylinder 52 drives the Y-axis feeding plate 53 to push out. The Y-axis feeding plate 53 will pass through the feeding box 2 and push the first material into the feeding hole 33, thus completing the Y-axis feeding.

[0075] Finally, the material is detected to be in place by the through-beam sensor 72. The servo motor 35 drives the rotating feeding plate 32 to rotate 45 degrees through the synchronous belt 38 and the driven wheel 37, so that the rotating feeding plate 32 completes the work position change. The above motion process is repeated six times. At this time, the rotating feeding plate 32 has rotated 270 degrees. The pushing cylinder 61 drives the pushing plate 62 to push the material to the discharge channel 39. The material is detected to be in place by the through-beam sensor 74, and the entire feeding process is completed.

[0076] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
