[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automated feeding device includes a vibrating feeding disc 1, a material guide rail 2, a machine base 3, a support 4, a transverse module 5, a mechanical feeding assembly 6, and a material carrier 7. A spiral slide 8 is provided on the inner wall of the vibrating feeding disc 1. The discharge end of the spiral slide 8 is connected to one end of the material guide rail 2. Limit plates 9 are provided on both sides of the material guide rail 2. A baffle plate 10 is provided at the upper end of the other end of the material guide rail 2. A clearance hole 11 is provided in the middle of the baffle plate 10. The support 4 is mounted on the machine base 3, the transverse module 5 is mounted on the support 4, and the mechanical feeding assembly 6 is slidably mounted on the transverse module 5. The mechanical feeding component 6 is positioned above the material guide rail 2. A sliding guide rail 12 is provided on one side of the material guide rail 2, and the material component is mounted on the sliding guide rail 12. In use, the material is placed in the vibrating feeding plate 1, and then fed from the bolt slide to the material guide rail 2 by vibration. The limiting plate 9 and the baffle plate 10 on the material guide rail 2 can prevent the material from shifting left, right, up, or down. Then, the mechanical feeding component 6 sucks the material out from the clearance hole 11 and, driven by the transverse module 5, places it in the material carrier 7. This invention can complete automatic feeding and can prevent material shifting during the feeding process, with high feeding accuracy.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material carrier 7 is provided with a plurality of receiving cavities 13 at its upper end. The plurality of receiving cavities 13 are arranged in an array. The material carrier 7 of this utility model can arrange multiple materials at one time, and then the materials can be moved to other processing components by a robotic arm. Multiple materials can be processed at one time, which can improve processing efficiency.

The sliding block 14 is slidably mounted on the horizontal module 5, the drive cylinder 15 is mounted on the sliding block 14, and the pneumatic manipulator 16 is mounted on the output end of the drive cylinder 15. Specifically, the horizontal module 5 drives the sliding block 14 to move horizontally, and the drive cylinder 15 drives the pneumatic manipulator 16 to move up and down, which can adsorb materials from the material guide rail 2 into the material carrier 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the baffle plate 10 is installed on the upper end of the limiting plate 9, and the baffle plate 10 and the limiting plate 9 are connected by screws. Both the baffle plate 10 and the limiting plate 9 of this utility model are detachable and can be directly replaced when damaged.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rotating column 17 is provided in the middle of the vibrating feeding plate 1. The rotating column 17 of this utility model can prevent the material from concentrating in the middle of the vibrating feeding plate 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the material carrier 7 is provided with two supporting sliding members 18 at its lower end. The supporting sliding members 18 are slidably disposed on the sliding guide rail 12. The material carrier 7 of this utility model can be moved by a module or a drive cylinder 15.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to extend the service life of the present invention, the machine base 3, the support 4, the material guide rail 2, the limiting plate 9, and the baffle plate 10 are all made of metal.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
