Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and more specifically, to a picture frame conveying device with automatic feeding function. Background Technology

[0002] A picture frame is a frame used to mount photographs or paintings. They are typically made of materials such as wood, metal, and plastic, and come in various shapes and styles. Picture frames not only protect photos or paintings but also serve a decorative purpose, adding an artistic touch. They can be placed on a table, hung on a wall, etc., to display cherished memories and works of art.

[0003] In picture frame production, automated conveying can improve production efficiency and reduce manual handling time and labor intensity. Currently, conveyor belts are typically used to transport picture frames, while robotic arms and other devices are used to place picture frames from the hopper onto the designated conveyor belt. However, the purchase and installation costs of robotic arms are relatively high, which may be unacceptable for some small businesses. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a picture frame conveying device with automatic feeding function. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: automatic feeding is carried out by devices such as robotic arms, but the purchase and installation cost of robotic arms is high, which may be unacceptable for some small enterprises.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A picture frame conveying device with automatic feeding function includes a hopper and a conveying frame. A tray is slidably connected inside the hopper. A spring is installed between the bottom surface of the tray and the bottom wall of the hopper. A top plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the hopper. A sliding seat is installed on the bottom surface of the top plate through an electric telescopic rod. A negative pressure suction cup device is installed on the bottom surface of the sliding seat.

[0007] Multiple brackets are symmetrically mounted on the outer side of the sliding seat, and a rack is mounted on the outer side of each bracket. The outer side of the hopper is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft via multiple triangular brackets. Both ends of the first rotating shaft are equipped with drive gears, and each drive gear meshes with a rack in a corresponding position. Both ends of the second rotating shaft are equipped with first driven gears, and each drive gear meshes with a first driven gear in a corresponding position. Multiple second driven gears are mounted on the second rotating shaft. A toothed plate is slidably connected to the top surface of the hopper, and each second driven gear meshes with the toothed plate. A first conveyor belt is mounted on the top surface of the toothed plate, and a second conveyor belt is mounted on the top surface of the conveyor frame.

[0008] like Figure 1-5As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting a spring, the picture frame can be automatically ejected from the hopper. The sliding seat is driven to slide up and down by an electric telescopic rod. The picture frame is attracted and detached by a negative pressure suction cup device. By setting a rack and a drive gear, the rack slides down by the sliding seat, thereby causing the drive gear to rotate. Through the first driven gear and the second driven gear, when the sliding seat slides down, the toothed plate slides to the right. When the sliding seat slides up, the toothed plate slides to the left to directly below the sliding seat. At the same time, the picture frame on the sliding seat is transported by the first conveyor belt.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of the tripods are symmetrically installed on the outside of the hopper, and a U-shaped support is fixedly installed at the top of each tripod, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped support.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, two support frames are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the toothed plate, and each support frame is slidably connected to the conveyor frame. An inclined plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the toothed plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the conveyor frame has two symmetrically formed grooves, and each groove is slidably connected to the bottom end of the support frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a support base is provided on the outer side of the hopper, and the support base is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the toothed plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, two baffles are symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the conveyor frame.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the hopper is symmetrically equipped with a plurality of guide posts, and a top plate is fixedly installed on the top of each guide post, and each guide post is slidably connected to a sliding seat.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the conveyor frame is symmetrically equipped with multiple support legs.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model achieves the following by setting up an electric telescopic rod, a negative pressure suction cup device, a drive gear, a rack, a first driven gear, and a second driven gear: when the sliding seat slides downward, the toothed plate slides to the right; when the sliding seat slides upward, the toothed plate slides to the left to directly below the sliding seat. At the same time, the photo frame on the sliding seat is transported to the second conveyor belt via the first conveyor belt. This eliminates the need for a robotic arm to automatically feed and turn the photo frame, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment and making it more suitable for small businesses.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 A picture frame conveying device with automatic feeding function includes a hopper 1 and a conveying frame 4. A tray 2 is slidably connected inside the hopper 1. A spring 3 is installed between the bottom surface of the tray 2 and the bottom wall of the hopper 1. A top plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the hopper 1. A sliding seat 10 is installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 7 through an electric telescopic rod 8. A negative pressure suction cup device 11 is installed on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 10.

[0026] Multiple brackets 12 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the sliding seat 10. Each bracket 12 has a rack 13 installed on its outer side. The outer side of the hopper 1 is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft 22 and a second rotating shaft 23 via multiple tripods 15. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 22 are equipped with drive gears 19, and each drive gear 19 meshes with a rack 13 in a corresponding position. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 23 are equipped with first driven gears 20, and each drive gear 19 meshes with a first driven gear 20 in a corresponding position. Multiple second driven gears 21 are installed on the second rotating shaft 23. A toothed plate 16 is slidably connected to the top surface of the hopper 1, and each second driven gear 21 meshes with the toothed plate 16. A first conveyor belt 17 is installed on the top surface of the toothed plate 16, and a second conveyor belt 27 is installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame 4.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting a spring 3, the picture frame can be automatically ejected from the hopper 1. The sliding seat 10 is driven to slide up and down by the electric telescopic rod 8. The picture frame is attracted and detached by the negative pressure suction cup device 11. By setting a rack 13 and a drive gear 19, the rack 13 slides down by the sliding seat 10, thereby causing the drive gear 19 to rotate. By the first driven gear 20 and the second driven gear 21, when the sliding seat 10 slides down, the toothed plate 16 slides to the right. When the sliding seat 10 slides up, the toothed plate 16 slides to the left to directly below the sliding seat 10. At the same time, the picture frame on the sliding seat 10 is transported by the first conveyor belt 17.

[0028] It should be noted that the negative pressure suction cup device 11 is a mature existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Multiple tripods 15 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the hopper 1. Each tripod 15 has a U-shaped support 18 fixedly installed at its top, and the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped support 18.

[0030] It should be noted that the other side of the multiple tripods 15 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 4 to increase the support strength of the tripods 15.

[0031] Two support frames 24 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the toothed plate 16, and each support frame 24 is slidably connected to the conveyor frame 4. An inclined plate 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the toothed plate 16.

[0032] The top surface of the conveyor frame 4 has two symmetrically opened slide grooves 26, and each slide groove 26 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the support frame 24.

[0033] The outer side of the hopper 1 is provided with a support base 14, and the support base 14 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the toothed plate 16.

[0034] The toothed plate 16 slides more smoothly by increasing the sliding fulcrum of the support frame 24 and the support base 14.

[0035] Two baffles 6 are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the conveyor frame 4 to prevent the photo frame from detaching from the conveyor frame 4.

[0036] Multiple guide pillars 9 are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the hopper 1, and the top plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top of each guide pillar 9. Each guide pillar 9 is slidably connected to the sliding seat 10, so that the sliding seat 10 slides more smoothly through the guide pillars 9.

[0037] Multiple support legs 5 are symmetrically installed on the bottom surface of the conveyor frame 4.

[0038] In use, the picture frame is first placed on top of the tray 2 using an external device. The spring 3 then lifts the picture frame upwards. Next, the electric telescopic rod 8 is activated, causing the sliding seat 10 to slide downwards. Simultaneously, the copper hot pot rack 13 meshes with the drive gear 19, causing the drive gear 19 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the first driven gear 20 to rotate in the opposite direction. Since the second driven gear 21 meshes with the toothed plate 16, the toothed plate 16 slides to the right. Then, the negative pressure suction cup device 11 mounted on the bottom of the sliding seat 10 contacts the picture frame, thereby... The frame is then attracted by the suction cup 11 and lifted by the sliding seat 10. During the lifting process, the rack 13 meshes with the drive gear 19, causing the drive gear 19 to reverse, thereby causing the toothed plate 16 to slide to the left, so that the toothed plate 16 is directly below the sliding seat 10. Then, the negative pressure suction cup device 11 places the frame on the first conveyor belt 17 installed on the toothed plate 16. When the sliding seat 10 grabs the frame again, the toothed plate 16 slides to the right. At this time, the first conveyor belt 17 can be started to move the frame to the second conveyor belt 27, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of the frame.

[0039] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
