It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0021] This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for the production of automotive interior fabrics, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a transmission frame 1, a lifting frame 2 inside the transmission frame 1, a front-stage transmission belt 3 at one end of the transmission frame 1, a rear-stage transmission belt 4 at the other end of the transmission frame 1, and a rear-stage processing machine 5 at the other end of the rear-stage transmission belt 4.
[0022] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the transmission frame 1 includes support rods 101. A connecting rod 102 is provided between the top ends of a pair of support rods 101 at the same end. A guide rod 103 is provided between the top and bottom ends of a pair of support rods 101 on the same side. A guide groove 104 is provided on the guide rod 103. A conveying rod 105 is provided between the support rods 101 on one side. A through groove 106 is provided in the conveying rod 105. A rack 107 is provided in the through groove 106. A guide wheel 108 is provided at the top and bottom ends of the lifting frame 2. The guide wheel 108 is movably disposed in the guide groove 104. A mounting plate 109 is provided on the lifting frame 2 near the conveying rod 105. A motor 110 is provided on the mounting plate 109. A reducer 111 is connected to the output end of the motor 110. A transmission rod 112 is connected to the output end of the reducer 111. The transmission rod 112 extends into the through groove 106 and is connected to a gear 113. The gear 113 meshes with the rack 107.
[0023] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, the lifting frame 2 includes an inverted U-shaped frame 201 and a connecting block 202. A second motor 203 is provided on the top of the inverted U-shaped frame 201. A lead screw 204 is connected to the output end of the second motor 203. The other end of the lead screw 204 is movably mounted on the connecting block 202. Fixed round rods 205 are provided between the two ends of the connecting block 202 and the inverted U-shaped frame 201. A pressing roller 206 is movably sleeved on the fixed round rod 205. A sliding groove 207 is provided on the inner side of the inverted U-shaped frame 201. A lifting rod 208 is slidably arranged between a pair of sliding grooves 207. A threaded through hole 209 is provided on the lifting rod 208. The threaded through hole 209 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 204.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum machine 6 is provided on one side of the lifting rod 208, and a suction cup plate 7 is provided below the vacuum machine 6. The vacuum machine 6 and the suction cup plate 7 are pneumatically connected.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the vacuum machine 6 is equipped with an adjustment bracket 8, and the adjustment bracket 8 is equipped with a monitoring camera 9.
[0026] In practice, the operator starts motor 110 via the equipment control panel. After being reduced in speed by reducer 111, motor 110 drives transmission rod 112 and gear 113 to rotate. Gear 113 meshes with rack 107, causing the lifting frame 2 to move along guide rod 103 to the initial position above the front-stage transmission belt 3. Simultaneously, motor 203 is started, driving lead screw 204 to rotate. Lead screw 204, through a threaded connection with lifting rod 208, lowers lifting rod 208 to a suitable height.
[0027] The monitoring camera 9 captures real-time images of the fabric on the front conveyor belt 3. When the fabric reaches the designated position, the vacuum machine 6 is activated. The vacuum machine 6 generates suction through the suction cup plate 7, firmly adhering to the fabric. Subsequently, the motor 203 reverses, driving the lead screw 204 to rotate, causing the lifting rod 208 to rise and lift the adsorbed fabric to a certain height.
[0028] Motor 110 restarts, driving the lifting frame 2 to move towards the other end of the transmission frame 1, conveying the fabric above the rear transmission belt 4. Upon reaching the designated position, motor 203 rotates forward, causing the lifting rod 208 to descend and smoothly place the fabric onto the rear transmission belt 4. Vacuum machine 6 is then turned off, suction cup 7 loses its suction, and the fabric separates from the suction cup 7.
[0029] The subsequent conveyor belt 4 transports the received fabric to the subsequent processing machine 5, which then performs subsequent processing on the automotive interior fabric.
[0030] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof.
