[0041] This application proposes a bidirectional feeding device, referring to... Figures 1 to 7 The bidirectional feeding device includes: a feeding platform 10 for mounting a material box; a first pushing mechanism 20 located on one side of the feeding platform 10 for pushing a tray from the material box along a first direction; a transfer platform 40 located on one side of the feeding platform 10 and arranged along a second direction with the feeding platform 10; a picking mechanism including a gripper assembly 51 for holding the tray and a picking drive 52, the picking drive 52 driving the gripper assembly 51 to move along the second direction to pick up the tray along the second direction and place it on the transfer platform 40; and a second pushing mechanism located on one side of the transfer platform 40 for pushing the tray off the transfer platform 40, wherein the first and second directions intersect.

[0042] The bidirectional feeding device in this embodiment includes a feeding platform 10, a first pushing mechanism 20, a transfer platform, a picking mechanism, and a second pushing mechanism. The feeding platform 10 is used to mount the material box. During short-side discharge, the material tray in the material box can be pushed out along a first direction by the first pushing mechanism 20. During long-side discharge, the transfer platform 40, arranged along a second direction with the feeding platform 10, can receive the material tray taken out from the long side of the material box by the picking mechanism. The material tray on the transfer platform 40 can then be pushed away from the transfer platform by the second pushing mechanism. These mechanisms cooperate to discharge the material box from two directions, adapting to material boxes with different discharge port positions.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bidirectional feeding device further includes a docking mechanism, which includes: a docking platform 31, located on the side of the feeding platform 10 away from the first pushing mechanism 20, for receiving the tray pushed out by the first pushing mechanism 20; and a docking drive 32, for driving the docking platform 31 to move along a second direction, so that the docking platform 31 docks with the transfer platform 40 or the feeding platform 10.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The loading platform 10 and the transfer platform 40 are arranged along the second direction, while the first pushing mechanism 20 and the connecting mechanism are arranged along the first direction and respectively located on both sides of the loading platform 10. The loading platform 10 is used to place the material box. The connecting drive unit 32 is used to drive the connecting platform 31 to move along the second direction and dock with the loading platform 10 or the transfer platform 40 respectively. This layout makes the device structure compact, improves space utilization, facilitates the coordinated work of various components, and lays the foundation for efficient material discharge.

[0045] Figure 2 As shown in Figure A, this is a material box with short-side discharge. During discharge in the first direction, the connecting platform 31 moves to the side of the loading platform 10 to receive the material tray pushed out of the material box by the first pushing mechanism 20 along the first direction. In this way, the material tray can be quickly and stably pushed out of the material box with short-side discharge and transferred to the connecting platform 31, effectively improving the efficiency and reliability of short-side discharge and reducing jamming and errors during the discharge process.

[0046] Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, B represents a material box with long-side discharge. During the second-direction discharge, the material tray in the box is removed by the material-picking mechanism along the second direction and placed on the transfer platform 40. The connecting platform 31 moves to the side of the transfer platform 40, and the second pushing mechanism can push the material tray from the transfer platform 40 to the connecting platform 31. The above mechanisms work together to discharge the material box from two directions. Therefore, the bidirectional feeding device in this embodiment is compatible with both long-side and short-side discharge material boxes. This bidirectional feeding function greatly enhances the versatility and flexibility of the device, enabling it to adapt to different types of material boxes, meet diverse production needs, and reduce the equipment procurement costs and production management complexity for enterprises.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The docking platform 31 includes: a base plate 321, disposed at the drive end of the docking drive component 32; two upright plates, disposed on the base plate 321 and spaced apart along a second direction; and a spacing adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the two upright plates. In this embodiment, the two upright plates are a first upright plate 322 and a second upright plate 323; the docking drive component 32 can be a linear drive module such as an electric cylinder or a linear motor, and the base plate 321 is disposed at the drive end of the linear drive module. Limiting steps can be provided on the inner walls of the upper ends of the two upright plates to receive and limit the two sides of the material tray. The first upright plate 322 is fixedly installed on the base plate 321, and the second upright plate 323 is slidably connected to the base plate 321. The spacing adjustment component can be an electric cylinder connected to the second upright plate 323 to drive the second upright plate 323 to move along the second direction, thereby realizing the spacing adjustment function. Thus, the docking platform 31 can be used to receive material trays of different widths. This adjustable docking platform 31 design significantly improves the adaptability of the device, enabling it to quickly meet the material discharge requirements of trays of different widths, reducing equipment adjustment time and costs caused by changes in tray specifications, and improving production efficiency.

[0048] In addition, the connecting platform 31 also includes first conveyor belts 324 respectively disposed on the two upright plates; the first conveyor belts 324 are disposed on the side walls of the two upright plates that are close to each other, and are used to convey the material tray along a first direction. In this embodiment, the first conveyor belts 324 are also disposed on the inner walls of the upright plates that are close to each other. Specifically, a drive wheel can be disposed on the inner wall, and the first conveyor belts 324 are wound around the drive wheel. The drive wheel is driven by a first motor 327 disposed on the outer side of the upright plate. The provision of two sets of first conveyor belts 324 enables the material tray to be smoothly transferred in the connecting platform 31. This allows the material tray to be conveyed to the next work station. At this time, the first conveyor belts 324 are used to receive the material tray, and the inner side walls of the upright plates are used to limit the two sides of the material tray. The provision of the first conveyor belts 324 effectively improves the transmission stability of the material tray on the connecting platform 31, avoids the offset and shaking of the material tray during the transmission process, ensures that the material tray can be accurately and smoothly conveyed to the next work station, and improves the smoothness and stability of the entire production process.

[0049] Furthermore, the pitch adjustment assembly includes two lead screws 325 arranged side by side, nuts adapted to the lead screws 325, and a pitch adjustment motor for driving the lead screws 325 to rotate; one end of the two lead screws 325 is rotatably mounted on the first vertical plate 322, and the other end is mounted through the second vertical plate 323, with the nuts mounted on the second vertical plate 323.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pitch-adjusting motor drives the lead screw 325 to rotate, causing the two nuts to move along the lead screw 325, thereby driving the movable vertical plate to move, achieving the pitch-adjusting effect. It is worth noting that the first motor 327 driving the conveyor belt can be positioned in the middle of the vertical plate to avoid the lead screws 325 at both ends. Furthermore, to achieve synchronous rotation and avoid jamming, the two lead screws 325 can be connected by synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt 326. Specifically, synchronous pulleys are respectively set at the ends of the lead screws 325 away from the first vertical plate 322, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt 326. A synchronous pulley can also be set on the shaft of the pitch-adjusting motor, so that it cooperates with the aforementioned synchronous belt 326. Alternatively, another set of synchronous pulleys and another synchronous belt 326 can be set between the pitch-adjusting motor and one of the lead screws 325 to complete the transmission, that is, the synchronous drive of the lead screw 325 is completed through two sets of pulley mechanisms. The structural design of this adjustable spacing component enables precise and stable adjustment, ensuring that the second vertical plate 323 can be accurately moved to the required position, thereby improving the adaptability of the connecting platform 31 to trays of different widths and further enhancing the reliability and practicality of the device.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The first drive component 22 of the first pushing mechanism 20 can be driven by an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder; the second drive component 62 of the second pushing mechanism can also be driven by an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The second pushing mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame 21, and its driving end is equipped with a first pushing component 23. The first pushing component 23 can be a long plate that can pass through the mounting frame 21 and enter the material box to push out the material tray. (See reference...) Figure 6 The second driving component 62 is L-shaped and includes a vertically positioned limiting plate and a receiving plate located below the limiting plate. The receiving plate can be used to receive the material tray, and the side of the limiting plate can be used to abut the material tray, pushing the material tray out of the transfer platform 40. It is worth noting that the aforementioned gripper assembly 51 can be a gripper cylinder. The upper and lower gripping parts of the gripper cylinder move towards each other to grip the side edge of the material tray. The selection and reasonable layout of various driving components allow the pushing mechanism to be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs, improving the stability and accuracy of the pushing action and ensuring that the material tray can be smoothly pushed out of the material box or transfer platform 40, providing a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of subsequent processes.

[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 The bidirectional feeding device also includes a lifting assembly 81, which drives the feeding platform 10 to move vertically. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 81 can be an electric cylinder, which can drive the feeding platform 10 to move vertically. The height of its movement is controllable. When discharging one tray, the feeding platform 10 needs to be driven to rise to a certain height so that the top tray in the tray can be aligned with the first pusher 23 to complete the second discharge. It is worth noting that the lifting assembly 81 is not limited to an electric cylinder; it can also be driven by other linear drive modules such as linear motors. The lifting assembly 81 enables flexible adjustment of the feeding platform 10 in the vertical direction, automatically adapting to the layer-by-layer discharge requirements of the trays in the tray, reducing manual intervention, improving automation and discharge efficiency, and reducing labor intensity and labor costs.

[0053] Furthermore, the bidirectional feeding device also includes a translation component 82 located at the drive end of the lifting component 81, and a feeding platform 10 located at the drive end of the translation component 82. The driving direction of the translation component 82 is along the first direction. In this embodiment, the translation component 82 can also be a linear drive module such as an electric cylinder or a linear motor. Setting the translation component 82 allows the feeding platform 10 to have a certain range of motion. The feeding platform 10 can feed materials at one end of the translation component 82, that is, complete the installation of the material box, and then move to the other end of the translation component 82 to dock with the transfer platform 40 and the docking platform 31 to complete the subsequent tray unloading process. It is worth noting that the docking does not necessarily involve a mechanical connection. It can also involve moving to one side of a set component and maintaining a relatively close distance from it. For example, the docking of the docking platform 31 with the transfer platform 40 or the feeding platform 10 does not involve direct mechanical contact between the two. Instead, they are positioned one-to-one in the first direction to facilitate receiving the material tray. The addition of translation component 82 further expands the movement range and function of the loading platform 10, enabling it to flexibly switch between different positions, achieving efficient connection of loading, unloading and other processes, improving the overall operating efficiency and flexibility of the device, and enhancing the comprehensive performance of the equipment.

[0054] Furthermore, the bidirectional feeding device also includes a clamping assembly 84 mounted on the feeding platform 10, which is used to fix the material box to the feeding platform 10. In this embodiment, a limiting member can be set on the feeding platform 10 to limit one side of the bottom of the material box, and a cylinder can be set on one side of the limiting member, with a clamping member mounted on the cylinder's push rod. The cylinder pushes the clamping member toward the limiting member to clamp the bottom of the material box, thus fixing the material box and preventing it from detaching from the feeding platform 10 due to inertia during operation. The design of the clamping assembly 84 effectively solves the problems of displacement and detachment that may occur during the operation of the material box, ensuring the stable fixing of the material box, improving the safety and reliability of the production process, and providing a solid guarantee for subsequent tray ejection and conveying operations.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 The bidirectional feeding device also includes a double-layer conveying mechanism, which comprises an upper conveying component 71 and a lower conveying component 72 spaced apart from top to bottom. The conveying direction of the upper conveying component 71 and the lower conveying component 72 is along a first direction. A translation component 82 is used to drive the feeding platform 10 to move between the upper conveying component 71 and the lower conveying component 72. The design of the double-layer conveying mechanism makes full use of vertical space, realizes double-layer conveying of the material boxes, effectively improves the space utilization and production efficiency of the equipment, can simultaneously meet the needs of feeding material boxes and recycling empty material boxes, simplifies the production process, and reduces the equipment footprint.

[0056] In this embodiment, the upper conveying assembly 71 and the lower conveying assembly 72 are used to convey the material box along the first direction. The upper conveying assembly 71 may optionally have two parallel conveyor belts, and the lower conveying assembly 72 may also have two parallel conveyor belts. In this embodiment, the translation assembly 82 can drive the loading platform 10 to move to the lower side of the upper conveying assembly 71 near its end. The lifting assembly 81 drives the loading platform 10 upwards and docks with the material box on the upper conveying assembly 71, then lifts the material box away from the upper conveying assembly 71. Subsequently, the translation assembly 82 drives the loading platform 10 away from the upper conveying assembly 71, and the lifting assembly 81 drives the loading platform 10 downwards, so that the top tray is at a height that can dock with the first pusher 23 of the first pusher mechanism 20. Alternatively, the top tray can be at a height that can dock with the gripper assembly 51 of the picking mechanism to complete the subsequent tray conveying process. After all trays have been removed, the translation component 82 and the lifting component 81 drive the material box to dock with the lower conveyor component 72, completing the recycling of the empty material box. The upper conveyor component 71 and the lower conveyor component 72 convey in opposite directions, allowing the empty trays to be sent outwards along the second direction. Through the coordinated work of the translation component 82, the lifting component 81, and the double-layer conveyor components, the entire process of material box loading, unloading, and recycling is automated, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing manual intervention, minimizing material accumulation and handling costs during production, and enhancing the company's production efficiency and competitiveness.

[0057] Furthermore, the double-layer conveying mechanism also includes material blocking components 73 located at the end of the upper conveying assembly 71. The material blocking components 73 can be material blocking cylinders located on the outside of the conveyor belts, symmetrically arranged with the two conveyor belts; the two material blocking cylinders can also be stacked. Pushing the push rods outwards prevents the material box from continuing to be conveyed along the conveyor belt. The material blocking components 73 effectively control the conveying position of the material box on the conveyor belt, ensuring that the material box accurately reaches the designated position for subsequent operations, avoiding chaos and errors caused by excessive material box conveying, and improving the orderliness and accuracy of the production process.

[0058] It is worth noting that when position detection is required during the conveying process of the aforementioned material boxes and trays, sensors can be installed at the corresponding positions of this device for detection. The installation of sensors is common knowledge and conventional technical means known to those skilled in the art, and its specific location and installation method will not be described in detail in this article.

[0059] This application also proposes a processing equipment, including the aforementioned bidirectional feeding device, and a frame for mounting the bidirectional feeding device. In this embodiment, the bidirectional feeding device is mounted on the frame, and a processing module for processing workpieces in the material tray can also be mounted on the frame. This processing module can be a laser marking module, thereby enabling laser marking on the surface of the workpiece. By combining the bidirectional feeding device with the processing module, this processing equipment achieves automatic tray pushing and workpiece processing, improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and is suitable for automated processing workflows. This integrated processing equipment design tightly integrates feeding and processing procedures, reducing material turnover and time waste in intermediate stages, improving production efficiency, ensuring stable processing quality, and providing strong support for enterprises to achieve automated and intelligent production, resulting in significant economic and social benefits.

[0060] In this embodiment, the working principle of the bidirectional feeding device and processing equipment is as follows: the feeding platform 10 and the transfer platform 40 are arranged along the second direction, the first pushing mechanism 20 and the connecting mechanism are arranged along the first direction and are respectively located on both sides of the feeding platform 10. The feeding platform 10 is used to place the material box. The connecting drive 32 is used to drive the connecting platform 31 to move along the second direction and dock with the feeding platform 10 or the transfer platform 40 respectively.

[0061] During the first direction of material discharge, the connecting platform 31 moves to the side of the loading platform 10 to receive the material tray pushed out of the material box by the first pushing mechanism 20 along the first direction. During the second direction of material discharge, the material tray in the material box is removed by the picking mechanism along the second direction and placed on the transfer platform 40. The connecting platform 31 moves to the side of the transfer platform 40, and the second pushing mechanism can push the material tray from the transfer platform 40 to the connecting platform 31.

[0062] The aforementioned mechanisms work together to discharge materials from the trays from two directions. Therefore, the bidirectional feeding device in this embodiment is compatible with both trays that discharge from the long side and those that discharge from the short side. Through a rational operational flow and coordinated operation of all components, the processing equipment can efficiently and stably complete the tray pushing task, exhibiting high practicality and reliability, and can be widely applied in various automated processing scenarios. This efficient discharge and processing mode not only improves the equipment's operating efficiency but also enhances its stability and reliability, enabling long-term continuous and stable operation, bringing sustained production benefits to enterprises, and promoting technological progress and development in the automated processing industry.
