Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a circular wafer feeding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Circular discs are the main material used to manufacture tank structures. After being cut, welded, rolled, or stamped, they form the side walls of the tank, thereby creating storage space inside the tank and enabling it to hold contents.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] Example: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a disc feeding machine includes a worktable 1. A first lifting module 2 is provided on one side of the top surface of the worktable 1, and a second lifting module 4 is provided on the other side. The second lifting module 4 is used to feed and support discs. A movable platform 3, slidably connected to the worktable 1, is provided between the first lifting module 2 and the second lifting module 4. After the second lifting module 4 picks up a disc, it lifts the disc. The movable platform 3 moves to below the second lifting module 4 for transferring the disc. Specifically, when the movable platform 3 moves to below the second lifting module 4, the second lifting module 4 drives the disc to descend, causing the disc to contact the bearing surface of the movable platform 3. The second lifting module 4 continues to move downward, causing it to disengage from the disc. The movable platform 3 is positioned between the first lifting module 2 and the worktable 1. The outer side of the second lifting module 4 overlaps with the edge of the disc when the movable platform 3 transfers the disc. A conveying module 7 is installed above the top of the first lifting module 2. After the movable platform 3 moves the disc from one end of the second lifting module 4 to one end of the first lifting module 2, the first lifting module 2 lifts the disc from the first lifting module assembly 2. The first lifting module 2 lifts the disc so that it is close to the conveying module 7. A transfer module 9 is provided above the conveying module 7. In use, after the disc is lifted to a suitable height by the first lifting module 2, the transfer module 9 absorbs the disc and transfers it to the conveying assembly. The conveying direction of the conveying module 7 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the movable platform 3. The conveying assembly conveys the disc outward along its conveying path.
[0027] Furthermore, the first lifting module 2 includes a first lifting cylinder 21 whose bottom end is fixedly connected to the worktable 1. A first lifting plate 22 is driven and connected to the output end of the top of the first lifting cylinder 21. The first lifting cylinder 21 pushes the first lifting plate 22 to move in the vertical direction, thereby lifting the disc and lifting the disc from the movable platform 3 so that the disc is separated from the movable platform 3 and close to the transfer module 7, so that the transfer module 9 can absorb and transfer it to the transfer module 7 and then transport it outward.
[0028] Furthermore, the movable platform 3 includes a base 32, and slide rails 34 are installed on both sides of the top surface of the worktable 1 along its length. Guide wheels 35 are installed on the bottom end of the base 32 corresponding to the slide rails 34 on both sides. The guide wheels 35 are slidably connected to the slide rails 34. The guide wheels 35 and the slide rails 34 are set to constrain the movement trajectory of the movable platform 3, so that it can move precisely between the first lifting module 2 and the second lifting module 4 to transfer the disc. A sliding cylinder 33 is installed on the outer side of the end of the worktable 1 away from the second lifting module 4. The output end of the sliding cylinder 33 passes through the side wall of the worktable 1 and is driven to the base 32. In use, the extension and retraction stroke of the output end of the sliding cylinder 33 is controlled to control the sliding distance of the base 32 along the slide rails 34, so as to precisely control the sliding stroke of the movable platform 3.
[0029] Furthermore, the base 32 has an opening slot extending through the upper and lower end faces of the base 32 from the center of its end face toward the side away from the sliding cylinder 33. During use, the base 32 moves to the upper end of the first lifting module 2 or the second lifting module 4 under the push of the sliding cylinder 33, with the first lifting module 2 or the second lifting module 4 positioned within the opening slot. This prevents the base 32 from interfering with the lifting movement of the first lifting module 2 or the second lifting module 4. A support plate is provided around the side wall of the opening slot on the base 32 to support the end of the disc away from the center. The two parts overlap, thereby driving the disc to be transferred. An arc-shaped baffle 36 is provided directly above the end of the base 32 away from the opening slot. Multiple limiting rods 31 are connected between the arc-shaped baffle 36 and the base 32. The multiple limiting rods 31 are equidistantly arranged along the arc-shaped path of the arc-shaped baffle 36. The arc-shaped baffle and the limiting rods 31 connecting the arc-shaped baffle 36 and the base 32 are used to limit the disc, so as to prevent the disc from moving relative to the base 32 due to inertia and outside the bearing surface of the base 32, thereby interfering with the rest of the disc feeding machine.
[0030] Furthermore, the second lifting module 4 includes a fixed plate 42, which is fixedly connected to the worktable 1. A second lifting cylinder 41 is fixedly installed at one bottom end of the fixed plate 42. The output end of the second lifting cylinder 41 passes through the fixed plate 42 and drives the second lifting plate 43. In use, the output end of the second lifting cylinder 41 pushes the second lifting plate 43 to move, thereby driving the circular piece placed on the second lifting plate 43 to move, which is used to transfer the circular piece on the second lifting plate 43 to the movable platform 3 or remove the circular piece from the movable platform 3.
[0031] Furthermore, a first support frame 5 is installed on the upper outer side of the worktable 1 above the first lifting module 2. The top of the first support frame 5 is provided with a top plate 6. The center of the top plate 6 has an opening communicating with the first lifting module 2, allowing the disc to be placed on the conveying module 7 through the opening of the top plate 6 by the adsorption and transfer of the transfer component, and then conveyed outwards. The conveying module 7 is installed on both sides of the opening of the top plate 6 and is perpendicular to the length direction of the worktable 1, used to change the conveying direction of the disc. The conveying module 7 includes components parallel to the length direction of the worktable 1 and arranged... The top plate 6 has rotating shafts 72 on both sides. A transmission motor 71 is installed on the top plate 6. The transmission motor 71 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 72 on one side. The transmission motor 71 drives the rotating shaft 72 to rotate. The two rotating shafts 72 are connected by a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is used to make the rotating shafts 72 on both sides rotate synchronously. A transmission roller group 73 is provided on both rotating shafts 72. The transmission roller group 73 is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 72. The top of the transmission roller group 73 contacts the bottom surface of the disc, thereby driving the disc to move along the rotation direction of the transmission roller group 73.
[0032] Furthermore, the transmission roller group 73 has two sets, which are mirror images of each other at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 72. They are used to form a support structure with the two sides of the disc respectively, so as to maintain balance when driving the disc to move. The two sets of transmission roller groups 73 are slidably connected to the rotating shaft 72, so that the transmission roller groups 73 installed at both ends of the same rotating shaft 72 can slide along the shaft of the rotating shaft 72, thereby changing the width between the two ends of the transmission roller groups 73, and thus adapting to the transmission of discs of different diameters.
[0033] Furthermore, the transmission roller assembly 73 includes transmission wheels 734 slidably mounted on the two rotating shafts 72. Guide wheels 35 are driven to rotate by the rotating shafts 72, with their top ends contacting the bottom surface of the disc. Under friction, the guide wheels 35 push the disc to move. A movable adjusting plate 731 is provided between the two transmission wheels 734, and the transmission wheels 734 are rotatably connected to the movable adjusting plate 731. The two rotating shafts 72 pass through the movable adjusting plate 731 respectively and can rotate independently relative to it. The movable adjusting plate 731 connects two guide wheels 35 on the same side of the two rotating shafts 72, allowing the guide wheels 35 located on the same side of the two rotating shafts 72 to rotate. When adjusting the width, the guide wheels 35 on the side maintain synchronous movement. An adjusting cylinder 732 is fixed on the top plate 6. The output end of the adjusting cylinder 732 is connected to the movable adjusting plate 731. The adjusting cylinder 732 pushes the adjusting plate to move, so that the movable adjusting plate 731 drives the two guide wheels 35 on the same side of the two rotating shafts 72 to move synchronously along the axis of the rotating shaft 72, thereby adjusting the distance between the transmission roller groups 73 at both ends of the rotating shaft 72. The movable adjusting plate 731 is provided with a secondary support frame 733 between the two transmission wheels 734 to provide auxiliary support for the disc.
[0034] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the rotating shaft 72 is a regular polygon, and the transmission wheel 734 is provided with a regular polygon drive connection through hole along the central axis that matches the cross-sectional shape of the rotating shaft 72. In use, the guide wheel 35 and the rotating shaft 72 form a snap-fit structure, so that the rotating shaft 72 drives the guide wheel 35 to rotate under the drive of the transmission motor 71, so that the circular piece in contact with the guide wheel 35 is conveyed outward along the horizontal tangent of the rotation direction of the guide wheel 35.
[0035] Furthermore, a second support frame 8 is provided above the top plate 6 and the top of the second support frame 7. A transfer cylinder 91 is installed on the top of the second support frame 8. The output end of the transfer cylinder 91 moves through the top wall of the second support frame 8 and the opening of the top plate 6, and its end is connected to a suction cup 92. When the transfer cylinder 91 is activated, it can drive the suction cup 92 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The suction cup 92 is used to pick up the disc that has been lifted to a suitable height by the first lifting module 2. Then, the disc moves away from the top plate 6 of the first lifting module 2 and is transferred to the transmission roller group 73 installed on the rotating shaft 72. Driven by the transmission motor 71, the guide wheel 35 in the transmission roller group 73 is rotated through the rotating shaft 72, thereby causing the guide wheel 35 to push the disc to move, realizing the transfer operation of the disc between different workstations.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the disc is being fed, it is first placed on the second lifting module 4. The second lifting cylinder 41 pushes the second lifting plate 43 to lift the disc. The sliding cylinder 33 drives the base 32 to slide along the slide rail 34 to directly below the second lifting module 4. The second lifting cylinder 41 then lowers the disc and places it on the base 32. The output end of the sliding cylinder 33 retracts, causing the base 32 to move above the first lifting module 2. The first lifting cylinder 21 in the first lifting module 2 then pushes the first lifting plate 22 to move. The first lifting plate 22 moves through the opening slot on the base 32 and contacts the bottom surface of the disc, lifting the disc upward and detaching it from the base 32. After the first lifting cylinder 21 lifts the disc to a suitable height, the transfer module 9 drives the suction cup 92 to move down and adsorb the top surface of the disc through the transfer cylinder 91, thereby moving the disc and transferring it from the first lifting plate 22 to the transfer roller group of the transfer module 7. The transfer module 7 has transfer roller groups on both sides of the rotating shaft 72 along its axial direction. The transfer roller groups on both sides can move along the axis of the rotating shaft 72. The movement adjusts the distance between the two drive roller groups 73, ensuring that the two drive roller groups 73 are at their furthest distance before the transplanting module 9 picks up the disc, preventing collisions with the disc. After the transplanting module 9 drives the suction cup 92 via the transplanting cylinder 91 to move the disc through the top plate 6 and above the conveying module 7, the two drive roller groups 73 are driven by corresponding adjusting cylinders 732 to move closer to each other along the rotating shaft 72. This distance is adjusted to fit the diameter of the disc, allowing the disc to be placed above the two drive roller groups 73. The moving roller group 73 is equipped with a transmission wheel 734 driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 72. One end of the top surface of the transmission wheel 734 contacts the bottom surface of the disc. Under the action of friction, the transmission wheel 734 rotates and drives the disc to be conveyed outward along the horizontal tangent of its rotation. In order to increase the friction between the transmission wheel 734 and the disc, a soft rubber sleeve can be fitted on the outer circumference of the transmission wheel 734 to increase the friction between the transmission wheel 734 and the disc, so that the disc is driven to move more smoothly, and can prevent hard contact between the transmission wheel 734 and the disc from scratching the surface of the disc.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
