Description

Technical Field

[0002] In traditional industrial automated production, the workpiece loading process often uses a simple conveying mechanism to arrange and transport the workpieces one by one, followed by a robotic arm clamping and loading them one by one. However, this method has obvious drawbacks. First, manual unloading is inefficient, not only consuming a lot of labor costs, but also limiting the speed of the initial stage of the entire production process, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient automated production. Second, the complex conveying path makes the workpieces easy to be damaged during the conveying process, and inaccurate control of the conveying mechanism can easily lead to workpiece collisions.

Figure 1 The directions or positional relationships shown are for the purpose of describing this utility model only, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0015] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model designs a low-damage feeding mechanism, including a transverse conveying mechanism, a longitudinal conveying mechanism, a storage bin 1, a feeding rack 2, and a pusher plate 3. The feeding rack 2 and the longitudinal conveying mechanism are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the transverse conveying mechanism and correspond to each other. The pusher plate 3 is connected to the longitudinal conveying mechanism and is driven by it to move back and forth longitudinally. The storage bin 1 includes a bottom plate 4, partitions 5, baffles 6, and limiting plates 7. The bottom plate 4 is connected to the transverse conveying mechanism and is driven by it to move left and right laterally. A baffle 6 is provided on the front side of the bottom plate 4. Several partitions 5 are evenly arranged at transverse intervals above the bottom plate 4. The partitions 5 and... The baffles 6 are perpendicular to each other, and storage cavities are formed between adjacent baffles 5. The width of the storage cavity is adapted to the width of the workpiece to be loaded. A limiting plate 7 is provided on the front side of the baffle 5 to prevent the workpiece from falling from the front. A through groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 6. The pusher plate 3 is used to push the workpiece in the storage cavity through the through groove 8 and into the loading rack 2. The structural design of the storage bin 1 is its core advantage. The bottom plate 4, baffles 5, baffles 6 and limiting plate 7 together construct multiple independent storage cavities, adapted to the width of the workpiece to be loaded. This layout ensures that the workpiece is stored in an orderly manner, avoiding collision damage caused by disorder, and laying a solid foundation for batch loading. Based on this, each storage compartment can be stacked to hold a large number of pre-stored workpieces. These workpieces are then sequentially conveyed to their corresponding positions on the pusher plate 3 via a transverse conveyor mechanism, achieving continuous and efficient batch feeding and greatly improving overall feeding efficiency. The transverse conveyor mechanism allows the storage compartment 1 to move laterally left and right. Its core function is to ensure that different storage compartments are sequentially aligned with the pusher plate 3. Once the workpiece in a storage compartment has been fed, the transverse conveyor mechanism can move the entire storage compartment 1 laterally, allowing the next storage compartment to move to the working position of the pusher plate 3, ready for feeding. This transverse movement method enables fast and accurate feeding. The alignment of different storage cavities with the pusher plate 3 greatly improves the efficiency and automation of feeding. The longitudinal conveying mechanism drives the pusher plate 3 to move back and forth longitudinally. Its key function is to push out the bottom workpieces one by one from the storage cavities. Since the workpieces are stacked in the storage cavities, the pusher plate 3, driven by the longitudinal conveying mechanism, pushes out the bottom workpieces smoothly from the through slot 8 of the storage bin 1 with appropriate thrust and speed, and sends them to the feeding rack 2. This feeding method of pushing out one by one can effectively avoid the workpieces from jamming, blocking or colliding with each other during the feeding process, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of feeding.

[0016] In a further preferred embodiment, the transverse conveying mechanism includes a synchronous pulley 9, a synchronous belt 10, a first guide rail 11, a first slider 12, a first motor 13, and a frame 14. Two synchronous pulleys 9 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 14 with their axes perpendicular to the horizontal plane. One of the synchronous pulleys 9 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 13. The synchronous belt 10 is wound around the two synchronous pulleys 9. The bottom of the base plate 4 is connected to the synchronous belt 10 via a synchronous belt clamp and moves with it. Two first guide rails 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the synchronous belt 10. The first guide rails 11 are arranged transversely. The first slider 12 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11. The top of the first slider 12 is fixedly connected to the base plate 4. The synchronous belt 10 transmission can provide uniform and stable power transmission, so that the storage bin 1 will not shake or deviate during movement, thereby avoiding the problem of workpiece collision or scattering caused by the instability of the storage bin 1. The cooperation of the guide rail and the slider further restricts the degree of freedom of the storage bin 1, so that it can only slide smoothly in the transverse direction, providing reliable support and a stable conveying environment for the workpieces in the storage bin 1.

[0017] In a further preferred embodiment, the longitudinal conveying mechanism includes a support plate 15, a lead screw 16, a second motor 17, a moving block 18, a second guide rail 19, and a second slider 20. The lead screw 16 is arranged longitudinally and located above the support plate 15. One end of the lead screw 16 is connected to the output end of the second motor 17 and is driven to rotate by it. The inner side of the moving block 18 is connected to the lead screw 16 through a lead screw nut. The second guide rail 19 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 15 and is arranged parallel to the lead screw 16. The second slider 20 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 19. The pusher plate 3 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 19. Block 20 is fixedly connected, and the moving block 18 and the pusher plate 3 are connected by a linkage plate 21. The rotational motion of the lead screw 16 is converted into the linear motion of the moving block 18 along the longitudinal direction. The lead screw 16 transmission has the characteristics of high precision and strong controllability, which can accurately control the moving position and speed of the pusher plate 3, ensuring that the pusher plate 3 can accurately push out the bottom workpiece in the storage bin 1, realizing precise control of feeding one by one, and effectively avoiding problems such as workpiece jamming or incomplete push-out caused by excessive or insufficient movement of the pusher plate 3. The second guide rail 19 and the second slider 20 provide stable longitudinal guiding support for the pusher plate 3.

[0018] In a further preferred embodiment, the loading rack 2 is provided with symmetrical side plates 22. The symmetrical design of the side plates 22 helps to improve the positioning accuracy of the workpiece on the loading rack 2. After the workpiece is pushed to the loading rack 2 by the pusher plate 3, the side plates 22 can play a certain limiting and guiding role for the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be accurately placed in the predetermined position.

[0019] Example 2

[0020] Considering that if the spacing of the partitions 5 is completely fixed and cannot be adjusted, it cannot accommodate workpieces of different widths. To solve this problem, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the baffle 6 is provided with several oblong holes 23. A positioning bolt is installed in the oblong hole 23. The screw of the positioning bolt passes through the oblong hole 23 and is connected to the threaded hole on the side of the partition 5. By adjusting the position of the positioning bolt in the oblong hole 23, the spacing of the partition 5 can be changed within a certain range, so that the storage bin 1 can adapt to workpieces of different widths. Users do not need to replace the entire storage bin 1 for workpieces of different specifications. They only need to make simple position adjustments to complete the adaptation to different workpieces.

[0021] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
