Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automation technology, and specifically relates to an automatic feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing or assembly of wires such as electrical wires and metal wires, small materials such as sleeves and insulating rings are often required to be fitted onto the outer surface of the wire. Traditional feeding methods rely heavily on manual operation or simple mechanical feeding, resulting in low efficiency, poor accuracy, and susceptibility to errors, making it difficult to meet the needs of automated production. Existing automatic feeding mechanisms may only be suitable for materials or wires of a single specification, lacking flexible design and failing to adapt to the conveying needs of materials of different sizes. Some devices are prone to problems such as jamming and inaccurate positioning during material transfer, affecting assembly accuracy and stability. In multi-station collaborative operations, the coordination logic between various mechanisms is complex, leading to redundant equipment structures or high control difficulty. Therefore, there is a need to propose an automated device that can efficiently, accurately, and stably complete material conveying, transfer, and assembly, adapting to different specifications of materials and wires and improving versatility. It is necessary to solve the problems of positioning, pressing, and rotational alignment of materials during multi-station transfer processes. Utility Model Content

[0043] The second pressing member is used to transfer the material from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, and to drive the material closer to the wire until the material is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the wire.

[0044] When the second pressing component is in the first rotating position, it receives material from the first pressing component.

[0046] A rotating table, wherein the second pressing member is disposed on the rotating table, and when the rotating table rotates, the second pressing member is located between the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

[0079] Furthermore, the suction mechanism includes:

[0080] The suction pipe 11 has a suction port 111;

[0081] The first drive assembly 12 is connected to the suction pipe 11 and is used to drive the suction pipe 11 to communicate with any one of the plurality of receiving pipes 21.

[0082] Thus, the suction pipe 11 can be switched to connect to different receiving pipes 21 via the first drive component 12, realizing on-demand supply of materials of various specifications; the program controls the connection between the suction pipe 11 and the designated receiving pipe 21 to ensure accurate material classification, suitable for complex assembly scenarios; the suction port 111 uses the negative pressure adsorption principle to grab materials, avoiding damage caused by mechanical clamping, especially suitable for fragile or precision small materials; the first drive component 12 drives the suction pipe 11 to move quickly, shortening material switching time and improving cycle efficiency; the vertical docking design of the suction pipe 11 and the receiving pipe 21 reduces the space occupied by the mechanism, suitable for high-density production line layout; the first drive component 12, the transfer component 23, and the first transfer... The synchronized actions of the mechanism form a coherent workflow; the docking interface between the suction pipe 11 and the receiving pipe 21 can be optimized into a conical or elastic sealing structure to prevent air leakage or material jamming; compared with the gripping of a robotic arm, the negative pressure adsorption structure of the suction port 111 is simple, has less wear, and lower maintenance costs; it is suitable for various scenarios such as precise adsorption of micro rubber rings or metal parts and automated feeding needs that adapt to various specifications of sealing rings; the feeding mechanism of this automatic feeding device can be adapted to multiple types of materials through program switching to achieve flexibility; high precision is achieved by using negative pressure adsorption and drive positioning errors that are less than the preset tolerance; the switching action from suction to transmission is completed within a few seconds to meet the needs of high-speed production, thereby achieving high efficiency.

The suction pipe 11 and the transmission mechanism are respectively located on opposite sides of the second mounting plate 13, and the suction pipe 11 and the first drive assembly 12 are located on the same side of the second mounting plate 13. The second mounting plate 13 is provided with guide blocks 14. There are two guide blocks 14 arranged facing each other, and the two guide blocks 14 enclose a guide groove 141.

[0087] It should be noted that there are preferably three receiving pipes 21, which are arranged side by side. The end of each of the three receiving pipes 21 near the suction pipe 11 is connected to the second mounting plate 13. The first slider 123 is used to drive the suction pipe 11 to move in the guide groove 141 and to align the suction pipe 11 with one of the multiple receiving pipes 21 so that the suction pipe 11 can distribute materials to the receiving pipe 21 as needed. The receiving pipe 21 is used to receive the materials provided by the suction pipe 11 and output the materials to the transfer assembly 23.

[0088] Therefore, through multiple receiving pipes 21 and material transfer components 23, the materials can be classified, temporarily stored, and transported in an orderly manner, avoiding material accumulation or jamming; the material transfer components 23 can move flexibly to adapt to the feeding needs of different workstations.

[0089] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism also includes: a dispensing block 22, disposed between the end of the receiving pipe 21 away from the suction mechanism and the transfer component 23, and provided with multiple dispensing ports 221 for dispensing materials; wherein, the transfer component 23 is slidably fitted to the dispensing block 22, and the transfer component 23 is provided with multiple receiving ports 231 for receiving materials; and, the dispensing ports 221 pass through the dispensing block 22 and are connected to the receiving pipe 21, and the dispensing ports 221 and the receiving pipe 21 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence; the receiving ports 231 and the dispensing ports 221 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; when the transfer component 23 is disposed in the dispensing block 22, the receiving ports 231 and the dispensing ports 221 are aligned vertically.

[0090] By setting the dispensing port 221 of the dispensing block 22 to correspond one-to-one with the receiving port 231 of the transfer component 23, it is ensured that the material does not shift or fall during the transfer process; by sliding the transfer component 23 into the dispensing block 22, it is ensured that the receiving port 231 and the dispensing port 221 can be aligned, so as to realize the accurate transfer of material from the dispensing block 22 of the self-transfer mechanism to the transfer component 23.

The first guide groove 26 is formed by recessing from the upper surface of the first mounting plate 25 toward the interior of the first mounting plate 25, and the clearance groove 27 penetrates the first mounting plate 25 and communicates with the first guide groove 26. In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 25 and the second mounting plate 13 are spaced apart, and the first mounting plate 25 is connected to the second mounting plate 13 through a first upright plate 28. The two ends of the transmission mechanism are respectively connected to the second mounting plate 13 and the first mounting plate 25, that is, the multiple receiving pipes 21 of the transmission mechanism are all installed on the second mounting plate 13, and the ends of the multiple receiving pipes 21 away from the second mounting plate 13 are all installed to the dispensing block 22.

[0092] The material dispensing block 22 is fixed to the first mounting plate 25, and the material transfer component 23 is slidably fitted in the first guide groove 26 of the first mounting plate 25. The first guide groove 26 constrains the sliding trajectory of the material transfer component 23 and prevents misalignment between the receiving port 231 of the material transfer component 23 and the dispensing port 221 of the material dispensing block 22. The clearance groove 27 provides a channel for the material to be pressed down to the second transfer mechanism and reduces interference.

[0093] It should also be noted that the material transfer assembly 23 includes a sliding plate 232, a receiving block 233, a mating block 234, and a connecting block 235; wherein, the receiving block 233, the mating block 234, and the connecting block 235 are sequentially and fixedly installed on the sliding plate 232 at intervals; the sliding plate 232 is slidably fitted in the first guide groove 26, and the receiving block 233 is used to slidely fit with the dispensing block 22; the receiving port 231 is provided in the receiving block 233, and the receiving port 231 is formed by recessing from the side surface of the receiving block 233 near the dispensing block 22 toward the interior of the receiving block 233, and the receiving port 231 penetrates the receiving block 233 and the sliding plate 232; the mating block 234 is provided on the side of the dispensing block 22 away from the clearance groove 27, and is used to dock with the dispensing block 22, so as to limit the movement of the docking block 233 in the first guide groove 26, thereby realizing that the docking block 233 can move between the dispensing block 22 and the clearance groove 27.

[0094] The receiving block 233, the mating block 234, and the connecting block 235 are sequentially and spaced apart on the sliding plate 232. The receiving block 233 is responsible for being movable relative to the dispensing block 22 to receive and transport the material to the first pressing position. The mating block 234 is used to limit the sliding range of the receiving block 233. The connecting block 235 is used to drive the sliding plate 232 to move within the first guide groove 26. The division of labor is clear. The receiving port 231 of the receiving block 233 passes through both the receiving block 233 and the sliding plate 232, ensuring that the material can be smoothly pressed down within the receiving port 231 and avoiding jamming.

[0095] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism also includes a second drive component 24, which is connected to the transfer component 23 and is used to drive the transfer component 23 to slide between the dispensing block 22 and the first guide groove 32, and to drive the receiving port 231 to the first pressing position.

[0096] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 24 includes a second cylinder 241 and a second push rod 242. The second cylinder 241 is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 25 near the second mounting plate 13. The second push rod 242 is connected between the second cylinder 241 and the connecting block 235 of the material transfer assembly 23. The second cylinder 241 is used to drive the second push rod 242 to drive the sliding plate 232 of the material transfer assembly 23 to slide in the first guide groove 26.

[0097] Furthermore, the first transfer mechanism includes: a first pressing member 31, which is disposed on the side of the material transfer assembly 23 away from the first mounting plate 25, and is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the receiving port 231; when the material transfer assembly 23 moves to the clearance groove 27 and the material in the receiving port 231 is in the first pressing position, the first pressing member 31 is vertically aligned with the receiving port 231 and presses the material to the second transfer mechanism.

[0098] By setting the first pressing member 31 in a one-to-one correspondence with the receiving port 231 of the receiving block 233, the first pressing member 31 is used to press the material in the receiving port 231 vertically down to the clearance groove 27 and then transfer it to the second transfer mechanism to avoid deflection; multiple first pressing members 31 can operate simultaneously, supporting parallel processing of multiple materials and improving efficiency.

[0099] Furthermore, the first transfer mechanism also includes a third drive assembly 32, connected to the first pressing member 31, for driving the first pressing member 31 to press the material to the second transfer mechanism.

[0100] Furthermore, the third drive assembly 32 is mounted on the first mounting plate 25. The third drive assembly 32 includes a third cylinder 321, a third push rod 322, and a third slider 323. The first cylinder 321 is disposed on the first mounting plate 25, the third push rod 322 is disposed between the first cylinder 321 and the third slider 323, and the first pressing member 31 is mounted on the side of the third slider 323 facing the first mounting plate 25. The third cylinder 321, the third push rod 322, and the third slider 323 are disposed on the same side of the first mounting plate 25.

[0101] Furthermore, the second transfer mechanism includes: a second pressing member 41, disposed on the side of the clearance groove 27 away from the first pressing member 31, having a first rotational position and a second rotational position; when the material is in the first pressing position and the second pressing member 41 is in the first rotational position, the first pressing member 31 is used to press the material in the receiving port 231 toward the second pressing member 41 until the first pressing member 31 and the second pressing member 41 are connected, and the material is transferred to the second pressing member 41; the second pressing member 41 is used to transfer the material from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, and is used to drive the material closer to the wire 2 until the material is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the wire 2.

[0102] Therefore, when the second pressing member 41 is in the first rotating position, it is used to receive the material from the first pressing member 31. When the second pressing member 41 is in the second rotating position, it is used to assemble the material with the wire 2 held by the clamping mechanism. Thus, the second rotating mechanism 40 is used to realize the continuous action of material reception and assembly, thereby realizing a series of processes of material suction, transmission, transfer, pressing, rotation, and assembly with the wire 2. Furthermore, the material passing through the receiving port 231 and the clearance groove 27 of the first pressing member 31 directly connects with the second pressing member 41, ensuring that the material does not shift twice and improving the assembly accuracy between the material and the wire 2.

[0103] Furthermore, the second transfer mechanism also includes a rotary table 42, and a second pressing member 41 is disposed on the rotary table 42. When the rotary table 42 rotates, the second pressing member 41 is located between the first rotation position and the second rotation position.

[0104] The rotating table 42 drives the second pressing component 41 to rotate, simplifying the multi-station transfer structure and improving reliability; the suction pipe 11 can switch to connect to different receiving pipes 21 to adapt to the supply of materials of various specifications.

[0105] Furthermore, the second transfer mechanism also includes: a third mounting plate 45, a fourth mounting plate 47, a second upright plate 46, a fourth drive assembly 43, and a fifth drive assembly 44; the third mounting plate 45 extends laterally and is disposed on the side of the first mounting plate 25 away from the second mounting plate 13, and the third mounting plate 45 is connected to the first mounting plate 25 through the second upright plate 46. The fifth drive assembly 44 is connected to the rotary table 42 and is used to drive the rotary table 42 to move toward or away from the clamping mechanism. The fifth drive assembly 44 drives the rotary table 42 and the second pressing member 41 to move toward or away from the clamping mechanism, completing the press-fitting of the material with the outer peripheral surface of the wire 2 of the clamping mechanism.

[0106] Furthermore, the fifth drive assembly 44 includes a fifth cylinder 441 and a fifth push rod 442. The fifth cylinder 441 is fixedly mounted on the third mounting plate 45, and the fifth push rod 442 is connected between the fifth cylinder 441 and the rotary table 42, used to drive the rotary table 42 to move toward or away from the clamping mechanism. The third mounting plate 45 serves as a mounting base for the fifth drive assembly 44, enhancing system integration. Controllable axial pressure is achieved through the fifth cylinder 441 or the fifth push rod 442, adapting to the assembly requirements of different materials, such as light pressure for soft sleeves and heavy pressure for metal rings.

[0107] Furthermore, the fourth mounting plate 47 extends laterally and is disposed on the side of the third mounting plate 45 away from the first mounting plate 25; the second upright plate 46 is provided with a U-shaped groove 461; the bottom of the rotary table 42 is provided with a U-shaped plate 421; the fourth drive assembly 43 is mounted on the fourth mounting plate 47, and the output end of the fourth drive assembly 43 is connected to the third mounting plate 45 for driving the third mounting plate 45 to move toward or away from the clamping mechanism, that is, for driving the third mounting plate 45 to drive the rotary table 42 to move left and right, and the rotary table 42 slides inside the U-shaped groove 461; when the U-shaped plate 421 of the rotary table 42 moves to abut against the U-shaped groove 461, the U-shaped groove 461 forms a reaction force on the rotary table 42, so that the rotary table 42 rotates in the U-shaped groove 461, so that the rotary table 42 drives the second pressing member 41 to rotate between the first rotation position and the second rotation position. The fourth drive assembly 43 drives the rotary table 42 to move the second pressing member 41 to the first rotating position to receive the material from the first pressing member 31, and drives the rotary table 42 to move the second pressing member 41 and the material to the second rotating position to ensure accurate material transfer path. The action of the rotary table 42 driven by the fourth drive assembly 43 is synchronized with the action of the first pressing member 31 to avoid conflict between rotation and pressing actions and improve process continuity.

[0108] The third mounting plate 45 extends laterally and connects to the second mounting plate 13 via the second vertical plate 46, forming a rigid support frame to ensure that the rotary table 42 operates without vibration or offset during high-speed rotation or axial movement. The lateral extension design of the third mounting plate 45 avoids interference with the first mounting plate 25 of the first transfer mechanism, simplifying equipment layout and facilitating maintenance and debugging. Simultaneously, the fifth drive assembly 44 can retract before the rotary table 42 rotates to avoid interference with the first transfer mechanism, improving safety. Furthermore, the vertical plate rigidly connects the second mounting plate 13 of the feeding mechanism to the third mounting plate 45 of the second transfer mechanism, distributing rotational and axial loads and reducing stress concentration on one side. The vertical plate can also serve as a cable routing channel, integrating cables and air pipes for the fourth drive assembly 43 and the fifth drive assembly 44, keeping the equipment tidy.

[0109] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a fifth mounting plate 51, which is disposed on the side of the second rotating mechanism 40 and the first transfer mechanism away from the feeding mechanism. The fifth mounting plate 51 extends vertically and is connected to the third mounting plate 45 via the third vertical plate 52. The fifth mounting plate 51 is provided with a wire insertion port 511, a mating groove 512, and a mating hole 513. The mating groove 512 is located on the side of the fifth mounting plate 51 facing the second transfer mechanism. The mating groove 512 is formed by a recess inward from the surface of the fifth mounting plate 51. The mating hole 513 is located at the bottom of the mating groove 512 and is used to accommodate the material transferred by the second pressing member 41. The wire insertion port 511 is located on the side of the fifth mounting plate 51 away from the second transfer mechanism. An arc-shaped groove 514 is formed by a recess inward from the surface of the fifth mounting plate 51 away from the second transfer mechanism. The two ends of the wire insertion port 511 are respectively connected to the wire insertion port 511 and the mating groove 512. The wire 2 is inserted into the wire insertion port 511 from the arc-shaped groove 514 and extends into the mating hole 513, so that the material in the mating hole 513 wraps around the outer peripheral surface of the wire 2.

[0110] By vertically extending the fifth mounting plate 51 of the clamping mechanism, an independent working area is formed outside the second and first transfer mechanisms, effectively isolating the assembly area from the feeding area. This spatial isolation design avoids motion interference. The fifth mounting plate 51 integrates a wire insertion port 511, a mating groove 512, and a mating hole 513, realizing the integrated process of wire positioning, material assembly, and finished product output. The gradual curved surface design of the arc groove 514 guides the wire 2 smoothly into the wire insertion port 511, eliminating the risk of surface scratches on the wire 2. The design of the arc groove 514 is particularly important for plated wires. The radius of curvature of the arc groove 514 can be adapted to wires 2 with a certain wire diameter range, allowing compatibility with various specifications of wires 2 without changing the fixture. The mating groove 512 provides lateral and vertical dual limits, ensuring that the lateral offset of the second pressing member 41 when pushing the material is less than the preset tolerance. The depth of the mating hole 513 precisely controls the lateral pressing amount of the material. An elastic bushing, such as a silicone ring, can be added to the inner wall of the 513 fitting hole to automatically compensate for dimensional tolerances during material pressing and ensure tight wrapping.

[0111] It should be noted that the coaxiality of the insertion port 511 and the mating hole 513 must meet the preset tolerance to ensure that the wire 2 is always centered in the material. A chamfer or knurling can be provided at the outlet of the mating hole 513 to prevent axial loosening after assembly. The chamfer or knurling serves as a return spring structure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fifth mounting plate 51 adopts a split design; replacing the mating hole 513 module with a different inner diameter allows for adaptation to new materials, enabling rapid changeover. Additionally, a fiber optic sensor can be integrated into the side wall of the mating groove 512 to monitor the material's position in real time.

[0112] It should be added that the wire 2 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 514 from the side of the fifth mounting plate 51 away from the second transfer mechanism, passes through the insertion port 511 and reaches the front end of the mating hole 513, realizing the pre-installation of the wire 2; the second pressing member 41 pushes the material into the mating hole 513 through the mating groove 512, realizing the material pushing; the fifth drive assembly 44 applies axial pressure to the rotary table 42 and the second pressing member 41, causing the material to plastically deform and wrap the wire 2, thereby completing the pressing and forming of the material and the wire 2.

[0113] The automatic feeding device described in this application is used as follows:

[0114] 1. Material Suction Stage: The first drive component 12 drives the suction tube 11 to move, aligning its suction port 111 with the center of the target material, thus positioning the suction tube 11. A pressure sensor can also detect the adhesion between the suction port 111 and the material, ensuring reliable negative pressure adsorption. A vacuum generator is activated to create negative pressure at the suction port 111, shortening the single adsorption time. For micro-materials, the suction port 111 can employ a porous honeycomb structure to disperse the adsorption force and prevent material deformation. The suction tube 11 moves horizontally above the corresponding receiving tube 21, the negative pressure is closed, and a brief positive pressure is applied to blow air into the receiving tube 21, ensuring accurate material desorption. A photoelectric sensor can detect whether the material in the receiving tube 21 is in place; if not detected, a supplementary suction process is triggered to complete the error prevention mechanism. The material suction stage enables adaptive adsorption and parallel processing of multiple materials.

[0115] 2. Transmission stage: Different specifications of receiving pipes 21 are arranged side by side, each receiving pipe 21 corresponds to a type of material, so as to realize the purpose of temporarily storing the material in the receiving pipe 21; the material falls from the receiving pipe 21 into the dispensing port 221 of the dispensing block 22. The inner diameter of the dispensing port 221 is slightly larger than that of the material to ensure that the material can pass through smoothly, so as to realize the purpose of dispensing the material in the dispensing block 22.

[0116] Material receiving stage: The second drive component 24 pushes the material transfer component 23 to slide, so that the receiving port 231 and the dispensing port 221 are aligned in a short time; it should be added that the bottom of the receiving port 231 is provided with an elastic baffle, which automatically closes after the material falls in to prevent accidental drop; the material transfer component 23 moves along the first guide groove 26 to transport the material to the first pressing position and align it with the clearance groove 27; the receiving port 231 and the clearance groove 27 must be concentric.

[0117] This transfer phase enables dynamic material compensation and cleaning / maintenance.

[0118] 3. Pressing Stage: The second pressing component 41 is located in the first rotating position and aligned with the first pressing component 31. The fourth drive assembly 43 remains stationary, and the fifth drive assembly 44 retracts, ensuring a safe clearance between the rotary table 42 and the first transfer mechanism. The receiving port 231 of the material transfer assembly 23 has slid directly above the clearance groove 27. The pressing head of the first pressing component 31 descends to a standby position relative to the upper surface of the receiving port 231. The first pressing component 31 vertically pushes the material from the receiving port 231 through the clearance groove 27 into the second pressing component 41, completing the material transfer. The third drive assembly 32 is used for driving, making the pressing speed of the first pressing component 31 adjustable to adapt to materials of different hardness.

[0119] 4. Rotation stage: The material is fully clamped by the second pressing member 41, the first pressing member 31 has been reset to the upper limit position, the fourth drive component 43 drives the rotary table 42 to rotate 180° from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, move the material to the second rotation position and align it with the wire 2 of the clamping mechanism; the fifth drive component 44 simultaneously fine-tunes the axial position to avoid interference with the clamping mechanism during rotation; the rotary table 42 is locked after reaching the target position.

[0120] 5. Assembly stage: The wire 2 is introduced through the arc groove 514 of the insertion port 511, and the front end of the wire 2 extends out of the mating hole 513; the fifth drive component 44 is started, and after contacting the material, it switches to the working speed. The fifth drive component 44 pushes the rotary table 42 and the second pressing component 41 to move towards the wire 2, and puts the material onto the surface of the wire 2.

[0121] Reset after completion and wait for the next cycle.

[0122] Therefore, the automatic feeding device provided by this utility model ensures the coaxiality of the material and wire 2 through dual rotation and axial drive in the rotation stage; the single cycle time can be shortened to within a few seconds through the parallel design of the receiving action in the receiving stage, the rotation action in the rotation stage, and the pressing action in the pressing stage; the rigid installation structure and closed-loop control drive components are suitable for long-term continuous operation; by adjusting the rotation angle and propulsion stroke of the fourth drive component 43 and the fifth drive component 44, it can adapt to the assembly between materials and wire 2 of different sizes. Therefore, this automatic feeding device can place waterproof plugs and shielding rings on designated positions of cables in the automotive wiring harness field, realize multi-station assembly of precision insulators in the electronic connector field, and realize automated assembly of catheter sheaths in the medical device field. This automatic feeding device, through modular mechanical precision coordination and intelligent control, achieves a significant increase in the success rate of material suction and a significant reduction in the transmission cycle, solving industry problems such as ultra-fine wire assembly and multi-material crimping, and has irreplaceable advantages in high-end manufacturing fields such as automotive electronics, connector manufacturing, and precision medical devices.

[0123] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
