Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material placement rack technology, and in particular to a material placement rack for an automatic feeder. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of automated warehousing and intelligent manufacturing, automatic feeders, as key equipment connecting material storage and production processing, rely heavily on the structural rationality of the material placement racks for efficient operation. Traditional material placement racks, designed to accommodate the feeder's gripping action, primarily employ two design schemes: one uses an outward-opening support plate structure to expose the material—the support plate is slidably connected to the rack body, and before the feeder grips, the support plate slides open left and right, placing the material in an unobstructed gripping position; the other uses a pull-out design, where the material is placed on a sliding pallet, and the pallet, along with the material, is pulled back and forth manually or pneumatically until it reaches the feeder's robotic arm or suction cup.

[0003] However, the aforementioned traditional structures have gradually revealed their insufficient adaptability to warehouse environments in practical applications. On the one hand, there are significant differences in the spatial layout of warehouses: some warehouses require restrictions on the outward expansion of the shelving due to narrow aisles, and the outward-opening load-bearing plates are prone to interference with forklifts, conveyor belts, and other equipment in the aisles when opened; while in high-space-utilization automated warehouses, the rack spacing is compact, and the travel of pull-out pallets is strictly limited, resulting in a limited grabbing range for the loading machine.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a material placement rack for an automatic feeder. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a material placement rack for automatic feeders, which solves the problems of traditional automatic feeder material placement racks, which use fixed outward-opening support plates or pull-out tray structures, making them unable to adapt to different warehouse space layouts, meet the grabbing needs of diverse material specifications, and cope with dynamic changes in warehouse operating conditions. This leads to easy interference with surrounding equipment, limited grabbing range, and the need for frequent modification or replacement of the rack, thus affecting the compatibility and efficiency of the warehousing system.

[0006] This utility model provides a material placement rack for an automatic feeding machine, comprising:

[0007] The display rack includes a mounting base and a supporting mechanism. The mounting base has multiple sets of guide rails fixedly mounted on its front and rear outer walls by bolts. These guide rails are equidistantly spaced vertically on the same side. The supporting mechanism is slidably connected to the upper outer wall of the guide rails. A fixing plate is fixedly mounted on one side inside each of the supporting mechanisms. A limiting guide rail is fixedly installed between the supporting mechanism and the fixing plate. A movable plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting guide rail.

[0008] The switching mechanism, located on one side of the support mechanism, includes a mounting bracket fixedly installed on the upper left wall of the support mechanism, an extension plate fixedly installed on one side of the guide rail, and a lead screw rotatably connected between the fixed plate and the support mechanism. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the moving plate. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower side wall of the mounting bracket. A connecting block is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the cylinder. A motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block. A gear is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gear. The gear meshes with a rack.

[0010] In a material placement rack for an automatic feeding machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, a control panel is fixedly installed on the outer right side of the mounting base. The control panel is provided with control buttons and a display screen on the outside, and a control circuit board and a battery are provided inside the control panel. The control panel is electrically connected to the cylinder and the motor.

[0011] In a material placement rack for an automatic feeding machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, a baffle is integrally provided on the side of the supporting mechanism away from the mounting base, and the baffle is arranged perpendicularly to the supporting mechanism.

[0012] In a material placement rack for an automatic feeding machine according to one embodiment of the present invention, both the fixed plate and the movable plate are provided with sliding grooves, a slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and a partition is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the slider.

[0024] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a material placement rack for an automatic feeder, comprising:

[0027] The display rack 100 includes a mounting base 10 and a supporting mechanism 20. Multiple sets of guide rails 11 are bolted to the outer walls of both the front and rear sides of the mounting base 10. These guide rails 11 are equidistantly spaced vertically on the same side. The supporting mechanism 20 is slidably connected to the upper outer wall of the guide rails 11. A fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on one side inside each supporting mechanism 20. A limiting guide rail 22 is fixedly installed between the supporting mechanism 20 and the fixing plate 21. A movable plate 23 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting guide rail 22. A switching mechanism 30 is located on one side of the supporting mechanism 20 and includes a fixed mounting... The mounting bracket 31 on the upper left side of the support mechanism 20, the extension plate 37 fixedly installed on one side of the guide rail 11, and the lead screw 39 rotatably connected between the fixed plate 21 and the support mechanism 20 are mounted on the upper left side. The lead screw 39 is threadedly connected to the moving plate 23. A cylinder 32 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the mounting bracket 31. A connecting block 33 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the cylinder 32. A motor 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 33. A gear 35 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor 34. A connecting rod 36 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gear 35. The gear 35 meshes with the rack 38.

[0028] After adopting the above technical solution, when using the material placement rack, the opening method of the material placement rack can be changed according to the site conditions. If the warehouse is relatively narrow, the cylinder 32 drives the motor 34 to move towards the lead screw 39. During this process, the gear 35 at the end of the output shaft of the motor 34 moves away from the upper end of the rack 38 and no longer engages with the rack 38. At the same time, the connecting rod 36 on the outer wall of the gear 35 is connected to the lead screw 39. During the operation of the motor 34, the motor 34 drives the lead screw 39 to rotate, thereby causing the moving plate 23 to move left and right along the outer wall of the limit guide rail 22, thereby pulling the material out from the outer wall of the supporting mechanism 20. When shorter materials cannot be pulled out, the cylinder 32 can retract the belt to disconnect the connecting rod 36 from the lead screw 39. At the same time, the gear 35 is moved to the upper end of the rack 38 and re-engages with the rack 38. When the motor 34 is working, the gear 35 and the rack 38 work together to make the supporting mechanism 20 move back and forth along the outer wall of the guide rail 11, so that the material on the upper wall of the supporting mechanism 20 is in an unobstructed gripping position. By setting the supporting mechanism 20 to support and place materials, and by setting the switching mechanism 30 to change the movement mode of the supporting mechanism 20 according to the actual situation of the warehouse, the display rack can be adapted to various different usage scenarios.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, a limiting slot 311 is provided in the middle of the side of the lead screw 39 near the switching mechanism 30, and an insert rod 310 adapted to the limiting slot 311 is integrally provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod 36. When the connecting rod 36 is connected to the lead screw 39, the insert rod 310 is inserted into the limiting slot 311 to ensure that the connecting rod 36 and the lead screw 39 can rotate synchronously.

[0030] In one optional embodiment, a control panel 12 is fixedly installed on the outer right side of the mounting base 10. The control panel 12 has control buttons and a display screen on its outer side, and a control circuit board and a battery are installed inside the control panel 12. The control panel 12 is electrically connected to the cylinder 32 and the motor 34. The control panel 12 controls the cylinder 32 and the motor 34 to start and stop automatically, thereby realizing automatic switching and automatic material discharge.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a baffle 24 is integrally provided on the side of the support mechanism 20 away from the mounting base 10. The baffle 24 is perpendicular to the support mechanism 20. By setting the baffle 24, the material located at the upper end of the support mechanism 20 is blocked, preventing the material from sliding off the upper surface of the support mechanism 20 during the movement of the support mechanism 20.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to make the rack suitable for placing large columnar objects such as logs and metal pillars, based on Embodiment 1, grooves 25 are provided on the upper surfaces of both the fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 23. A slider 26 is slidably connected inside the groove 25, and a partition 27 is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the slider 26. When a large columnar material is placed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 23, and after it is placed on the outer wall, the large columnar material is pushed until it contacts the baffle 24 or the outer wall of the mounting base 10. At this time, the slider 26 is pulled to move the partition 27 to contact the other side of the large columnar material, thereby limiting the large columnar material and preventing it from rolling during the movement of the supporting mechanism 20, which would cause the material rack to shake.

[0034] In one alternative embodiment, a locking screw 28 is threaded onto the upper wall of one side of the slider 26, and the slider 26 is locked and unlocked by setting the locking screw 28.
