Abstract

This invention provides a material feeding device for on-site duct processing based on BIM, including a storage bin, a conveyor belt, a pushing device, a camera, and a control system. The storage bin has a storage cavity, and a discharge port is located on the side of the storage bin facing the cutting machine. The pushing device includes a drive mechanism and a pushing component, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity. The conveyor belt transports the sheet metal through the discharge port to the cutting machine, and the pushing component then pushes the sheet metal to the processing position on the cutting machine. Both the conveyor belt and the pushing device are connected to the control system. The camera is also connected to the control system to monitor the processing status of the cutting machine. This invention can change the traditional method of manually monitoring equipment operation and manually replenishing sheet metal, effectively reducing enterprise labor costs and minimizing equipment downtime. Furthermore, it can display the sheet metal specifications and cutting sequence of the duct model on a monitor to remind operators.
