Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automated production technology, specifically relating to a material pushing mechanism and a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines, a pusher mechanism is a common solution for removing material from the end of the conveyor line. This mechanism typically includes a pusher drive assembly that moves horizontally along the conveying direction, a pusher rod mounted on the pusher drive assembly, and a clearance drive assembly for controlling the pusher rod's extension and clearance. When material is conveyed to the end of the conveyor line, the pusher rod is extended and moved towards the end until it contacts the rear end of the material and pushes it out, thus completing the pusher operation.

[0003] However, existing feeding mechanisms of this type rely on multiple sets of drive components to drive the feed rod to move and to avoid obstacles, resulting in a complex overall structure and incompatibility with various feeding methods. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies, this utility model provides a pushing mechanism and a feeding device, which aims to solve the technical problem of the complex structure of the pushing mechanism on the existing conveyor line.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pushing mechanism, which includes a pushing assembly, a pressing assembly, and a driving assembly. The pushing assembly includes a pushing member, a movable seat, and an elastic member. The pushing member is rotatably mounted on the movable seat, and the pushing head of the pushing member extends in the pushing direction. The elastic member applies an upward swinging elastic driving force to the pushing member. The pressing assembly is located on the moving path of the pushing member and is opposite to the pushing direction relative to the pushing head. The driving assembly drives the movable seat to reciprocate in the pushing direction. When the driving assembly drives the movable seat to move to the limit position opposite to the pushing direction, the pressing assembly presses down on the pushing member, causing the pushing head to move down from the pushing height to the clearance height.

[0006] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a pressing mounting base and a pressing rotating component. The pressing rotating component is rotatably mounted on the pressing mounting base. The pressing rotating component is opposite to the pushing direction relative to the pushing head. The pressing rotating component is located on the moving path of the pushing component. The installation height of the pressing rotating component is lower than the pushing height.

[0007] In this embodiment, the pushing assembly also includes a limiting member, which is disposed between the moving seat and the pushing member. The limiting member stops the pushing member from rotating when the pushing head of the pushing member is raised to the pushing height.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model also provides a feeding device, which includes a material conveying line, a pushing mechanism as described above, and a feeding mechanism. One end of the material conveying line is an inlet end, and the other end is an outlet end. A feeding stacking area is also provided above the material conveying line. The pushing component of the pushing mechanism is located on the conveying path of the material conveying line, and the pushing direction is the same as the conveying direction of the material conveying line. The feeding mechanism includes a tray assembly and a feeding bottom support assembly. The tray assembly is located above the material conveying line and is horizontally movable to enter and exit the feeding stacking area. The feeding bottom support assembly is raised and lowered below the feeding stacking area to support the materials stacked in the feeding stacking area from the bottom.

[0009] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism also includes several edge stops arranged around the feeding stacking area, which avoid the material conveying path of the material conveying line.

[0010] In this embodiment, the feeding device also includes a discharging mechanism, which includes a discharging support component located near the discharge end of the material conveying line and a lifting drive component that is pulsatorically connected to the discharging support component. The discharging support component receives the material pushed down from the material conveying line by the pushing mechanism.

[0011] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a material positioning component, which includes a side push drive and a first side push and a second side push arranged horizontally opposite each other. The relative direction of the first side push and the second side push is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the material conveying line. The feeding support is located between the first side push and the second side push. The side push drive drives the first side push and the second side push to move toward each other or apart.

[0012] In this embodiment, the material is a material tray with multiple workpiece receiving compartments. The feeding device also includes a workpiece placement mechanism and a material transfer mechanism. The workpiece placement mechanism includes several workpiece placement platforms, which are arranged sequentially adjacent to each other. The material transfer mechanism picks up and places workpieces between the unloading support and the several workpiece placement platforms.

[0013] In this embodiment, the workpiece placement mechanism further includes a spacing adjustment component, which drives several workpiece placement platforms to move in the arrangement direction respectively.

[0014] In this embodiment, the feeding device also includes a material removal line, which is located below the material discharge support, or one end of the material removal line is adjacent to the lifting and lowering area of ​​the material discharge support, and the material discharge support is also provided with a material transfer component.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism provided by this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism sets a pressing component on the moving path of the pushing component, and with the cooperation of the elastic component, only one set of driving components is needed to realize the coordinated action of the pushing component automatically lifting when pushing and automatically lowering its head to avoid when resetting. This not only reduces the number of parts of the pushing mechanism and lowers the assembly cost of the pushing mechanism, but also simplifies the control logic of the pushing mechanism.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0029] The feeding mechanism 1 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model discloses a feeding mechanism 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding component 11, a pressing component 12, and a driving component 13.

[0031] The feeding assembly 11 includes a feeding member 111, a movable seat 112 and an elastic member. The feeding member 111 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 112 via a pivot shaft 114 and the feeding head 111a of the feeding member 111 extends in the feeding direction. The elastic member is used to apply an upward swinging elastic driving force to the feeding member 111.

[0032] The pressing component 12 is located on the moving path of the pusher 111 and is opposite to the pushing direction relative to the pusher head 111a. In other words, when the moving seat 112 moves to the extreme position opposite to the pushing direction, the pressing component 12 is still located on the back side of the pusher head 111a in the pushing direction.

[0033] The drive assembly 13 is used to drive the moving seat 112 to reciprocate in the pushing direction. When the drive assembly 13 drives the moving seat 112 to move away from the pushing direction to the extreme position away from the pushing direction, the pressing assembly 12 will press down the pushing member 111, so that the pushing head 111a pivots down from the pushing height to the avoidance height.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the pushing mechanism 1 in this embodiment needs to be used in conjunction with the material conveying line 2. When working together, it is necessary to ensure that the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 1 is in the same direction as the conveying direction of the material conveying line 2.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the material conveyor line 2 is feeding or conveying materials, by controlling the movable seat 112 to remain at its limit position away from the pushing direction, the pressing component 12 can press down the pushing component 111, ensuring that the pushing head 111a of the pushing component 111 is always at a clearance height below the bearing surface of the material conveyor line 2. This achieves the clearance effect for materials on the material conveyor line 2. When it is necessary to push the material out from the discharge end 2b of the material conveyor line 2, by controlling the movable seat 112 to move towards the discharge end 2b, the pushing component 111 will disengage from the pressing component 12. At this time, under the action of the elastic element, the pushing head 111a of the pushing component 111 will automatically lift up and reach the pushing height. After the pushing head 111a is lifted into place, by continuing to control the movable seat 112 to move towards the pushing direction (discharge end 2b), the pushing head 111a can contact the rear end of the material and push the material out from the material conveyor line 2. After the pushing action of the pusher 111 is completed, by controlling the moving seat 112 to move to the limit position away from the pushing direction, the pusher head 111a can be automatically reset to the avoidance height under the action of the pressing component 12.

[0036] In summary, the pushing mechanism 1 in this embodiment, by setting a pressing component 12 on the moving path of the pushing component 111 and cooperating with the elastic component, only one set of driving components 13 is needed to realize the coordinated action of the pushing component 111 automatically lifting when pushing and automatically lowering its head to avoid when resetting. This not only reduces the number of parts of the pushing mechanism 1 and lowers the assembly cost of the pushing mechanism 1, but also simplifies the control logic of the pushing mechanism 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the pressing component 12 can be varied, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the pressing assembly 12 may include a pressing mounting base 121 and a pressing rotating member 122. The pressing rotating member 122 is rotatably mounted on the pressing mounting base 121 and is opposite to the pushing direction relative to the pushing head 111a. The pressing rotating member 122 preferably extends along the width direction of the material conveying line 2. The pressing rotating member 122 is located on the moving path of the pushing member 111 and its installation height needs to be lower than the pushing height.

[0038] When the drive assembly 13 drives the moving seat 112 to move towards its limit position away from the pushing direction, the upper part of the pusher 111 gradually comes into contact with the pressing rotating member 122. Since the installation height of the pressing rotating member 122 is lower than the pushing height, the pressing rotating member 122 will press down on the pusher 111 during the movement of the moving seat 112, causing the height of the pusher head 111a to gradually decrease. The closer the moving seat 112 is to the limit position, the greater the degree of pressure on the pusher 111. When the moving seat 112 reaches the limit position, the pusher head 111a will move down to a clearance height lower than the bearing surface of the material conveying line 2. The rotating pressing rotating member 122 can reduce the friction between the pusher 111 and the pressing rotating member 122 when the moving seat 112 moves towards the limit position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pressing rotating member 122 can also be fixedly installed, or other shapes can be assembled by changing the number of pressing mounting base 121 and pressing rotating member 122.

[0040] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the driving component 13 can also be varied, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 13 may include a drive wheel 131, a driven wheel 132, a timing belt 133, and a drive motor. The drive wheel 131 and the driven wheel 132 are spaced apart in the pushing direction. The timing belt 133 is wound between the drive wheel 131 and the driven wheel 132. The movable seat 112 is disposed between the drive wheel 131 and the driven wheel 132 and is fixedly connected to the timing belt 133. When the motor drives the drive wheel 131 to rotate, the timing belt 133 will drive the movable seat 112 to move in the pushing direction or away from the pushing direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drive component 13 can also be a common drive form such as a motor screw drive, a cylinder drive, or an electric cylinder drive.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 1 may further include a pushing guide 14 extending along the pushing direction, and the movable seat 112 and the pushing guide 14 are slidably guided together.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing assembly 11 further includes a limiting member 113, which is disposed between the movable seat 112 and the pushing member 111. The limiting member 113 is used to prevent rotation and lock the pushing member 111 when the pushing head 111a of the pushing member 111 is raised to the pushing height. The limiting member 113 can be a limiting pin, a limiting block, etc., disposed on the movable seat 112. Taking a limiting pin as an example, by opening a waist-shaped hole on the pushing member 111 and installing the limiting pin on the movable seat 112, the maximum lifting height of the pushing head 111a can be limited by the cooperation between the limiting pin and the waist-shaped hole.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pusher head 111a of the pusher 111 can be widened and heightened to push the material more smoothly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the elastic element can be a torsion spring.

[0046] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model also provides a feeding device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding equipment includes a material conveying line 2, the aforementioned pushing mechanism 1, and the feeding mechanism 3.

[0047] One end of the material conveying line 2 is the inlet end 2a, and the other end is the outlet end 2b. Above the material conveying line 2, there is also a material stacking area 2c.

[0048] The pushing component 111 of the pushing mechanism 1 is located on the conveying path of the material conveying line 2, and the pushing direction of the pushing component 111 is the same as the conveying direction of the material conveying line 2.

[0049] The feeding mechanism 3 includes a pallet assembly 31 and a feeding bottom support assembly 32. The pallet assembly 31 is located above the material conveying line 2 and can move horizontally to enter and exit the feeding stacking area 2c. The feeding bottom support assembly 32 is raised and lowered below the feeding stacking area 2c to support the materials stacked in the feeding stacking area 2c from the bottom.

[0050] In addition to automatically lifting the pusher 111 when pushing material and automatically avoiding obstacles when retracting, the feeding equipment in this utility model can also be compatible with two types of material feeding: assembly line feeding and rack feeding.

[0051] When the material is supplied from the upstream production line, the feed end 2a of the material conveyor line 2 can be directly connected to the production line, and the material on the production line can flow directly onto the material conveyor line 2.

[0052] When the material is fed from a rack, multiple layers of material need to be stacked in the stacking area 2c manually or mechanically before loading to ensure sufficient material supply. The multiple layers of material stacked in the stacking area 2c are supported by the bottom loading support component 32.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, when a single material needs to be supplied to the material conveying line 2, the loading support assembly 32 is first controlled to rise, so that the bottom material in the multi-layer material is below the pallet assembly 31 and the second to last material is above the pallet assembly 31; then the pallet assembly 31 is controlled to move horizontally, so that the pallet assembly 31 enters the loading stacking area 2c. At this time, the pallet assembly 31 will support the bottom of the second to last material; after the pallet assembly 31 is firmly supported, the loading support assembly 32 is controlled to move downward, so that the single material on the loading support assembly 32 contacts the bearing surface of the material conveying line 2, while other materials remain on the pallet assembly 31 and are supported by the pallet assembly 31. In this way, the loading of a single material can be completed.

[0054] Once a single material is fed, the feeding support component 32 is raised to support the material on the pallet component 31 again. Then, the pallet component 31 is moved out of the feeding stacking area 2c, thus completing one feeding cycle.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 also includes several edge-stopping members 33 arranged around the feeding stacking area 2c. The number and shape of the edge-stopping members 33 can be adjusted adaptively according to the shape of the material. For example, when the material is square, the number of edge-stopping members 33 can be four sets, and the cross-sectional shape of the edge-stopping members 33 can be L-shaped. The four sets of edge-stopping members 33 correspond to the four corners of the square material, thus constraining the four corners of the square material to ensure that multiple layers of material can be neatly stacked in the feeding stacking area 2c. Of course, the edge-stopping members 33 can also be changed to plate-shaped, column-shaped, etc., as required.

[0056] In this embodiment, when designing the shape and installation position of the edge stop 33, it is necessary to consider that the edge stop 33 avoids the material conveying path of the material conveying line 2, so as to ensure that the material can be smoothly conveyed on the material conveying line 2.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the pallet assembly 31 may include a pallet body 311 and a pallet drive 312 for driving the pallet body 311 to move horizontally. There are two sets of pallet bodies 311, which can be located on opposite sides of the material conveying line 2 in the width direction. Driven by the corresponding pallet drive 312, the two pallet bodies 311 can enter and exit the material stacking area. The number of pallets in each set of pallet bodies 311 and the horizontal movement path of the pallets can be adaptively changed according to requirements.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the material feeding support assembly 32 may include a support base 321 and a support drive component 322 for driving the support base 321 to rise and fall. The support base 321 is used to support materials from the bottom.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding device further includes a discharging mechanism 4. The discharging mechanism 4 includes a discharging support 41 disposed near the discharge end 2b of the material conveying line 2 and a lifting drive 42 that is pulsatorically connected to the discharging support 41. The discharging support 41 can receive the material pushed out by the material conveying line 2, and by raising and lowering the discharging support 41, the material can be automatically stacked on the discharging support 41.

[0060] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, to facilitate the neat stacking of materials on the feeding base 41, the feeding mechanism 4 may further include a material positioning component 43. The material positioning component 43 includes a side-push drive 433 and a first side-push component 431 and a second side-push component 432 arranged horizontally opposite each other. The relative direction of the first side-push component 431 and the second side-push component 432 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the material conveying line 2. In other words, the first side-push component 431 and the second side-push component 432 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the feeding base 41, while the pushing direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the feeding base 41. The feeding base 41 is located between the first side-push component 431 and the second side-push component 432. The side-push drive 433 is used to drive the first side-push component 431 and the second side-push component 432 to move towards each other or apart, respectively or synchronously.

[0061] When the material on the material conveyor line 2 is pushed onto the unloading support 41, by controlling the unloading support 41 to rise and fall to a suitable position, the pushed material can be placed at the same horizontal level as the side pushers on both sides. Through the movement of the two side pushers toward each other, the posture and placement of the material can be corrected, thereby ensuring that the material can be neatly stacked after being pushed onto the unloading support 41 in sequence.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first side pusher 431 and the second side pusher 432 can directly act on both sides of the material to achieve posture and position correction of the material, or as... Figure 6 As shown, movable guide plates 434 can also be provided between the two side pushers and the unloading support 41. The guide plates 434 can be staggered vertically from the corresponding side pushers. By providing guide plates 434, when the material is pushed from the material conveying line 2 to the unloading support 41, the guide plates 434 can guide and initially constrain the material to avoid excessive angular deviation of the pushed material.

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the material positioning component 43 further includes a guide drive 436 for driving the guide plate 434 to move toward each other or apart. Through the guide drive 436, when the bottom support 41 is raised or lowered, the bottom support 435 can avoid the bottom support 41 and the material on the bottom support 41.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a bottom support plate 435 may also be provided on the side of the two guide plates 434 facing each other. The bottom support plate 435 is used to support the edge of the bottom of the material when the material is pushed in.

[0065] In this embodiment, the material referred to above can be a tray capable of accommodating multiple workpieces simultaneously, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding equipment also includes a workpiece placement mechanism 5 and a transfer mechanism 6. The workpiece placement mechanism 5 includes several workpiece placement tables 51 arranged sequentially and adjacently. The transfer mechanism 6 is used to pick up and place workpieces between the unloading support 41 and the several workpiece placement tables 51.

[0066] After the material tray is pushed onto the unloading support 41, the material positioning mechanism enables the transfer mechanism 6 to accurately grab workpieces from the tray and move them to the workpiece placement table 51 for sequential placement. The workpiece placement table 51 facilitates the connection of the loading equipment with subsequent workpiece processing production lines. When all the workpieces in the tray are removed, the unloading support 41 is lowered, and then the pushing mechanism 1 is pushed into a new tray and stacked on top of the empty tray, enabling continuous loading of workpieces onto the workpiece placement table 51.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the workpiece placement mechanism 5 further includes a spacing adjustment component 52. The spacing adjustment component 52 is used to drive several workpiece placement tables to move in the arrangement direction respectively, so as to adjust the distance between the workpiece placement tables. Through the spacing adjustment component 52, the spacing between workpieces can be easily adjusted to be compatible with different workpiece processing production lines.

[0068] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding device also includes a material removal line 7, which is located below the unloading support 41, or one end of the material removal line 7 is adjacent to the lifting and lowering area of ​​the unloading support 41. When the unloading support 41 is full of material, by raising and lowering the unloading support 41 to the same level as the material removal line 7, and then by adding a material transfer component, the stacked empty material trays can be removed from the unloading support 41, thereby freeing up space for subsequent production.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the material transfer component can be a transfer conveyor line 44 disposed on the material bottom support 41. The transfer conveyor line 44 is used to dock with the material removal line 7 when the material bottom support 41 is raised and lowered to a specific height, so as to drive the material on the material bottom support 41 to be transferred to the material removal line 7.

[0070] In this embodiment, the aforementioned driving components, spacing adjustment components 52, and other power sources can be drive architectures such as cylinder drive, electric cylinder drive, and motor lead screw drive.
