Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery technology, and in particular to a continuous material dispensing device and packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of industrialization, the speed requirements for packaging machinery in production lines are also increasing. Taking the noodle-making industry as an example, the traditional material distribution uses an intermittent reciprocating structure. This structure can be used when the production line speed is not high. However, once the production line speeds up, the reciprocating motion (material collection - material distribution - material distribution return - material collection, material distribution, material distribution return) of the material distribution mechanism is complex and takes a long time. After the material is collected, it is necessary to wait for the material distribution mechanism to return to its original position. This will cause the overall machine speed to decrease and fail to meet the speed requirements of the production line.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a continuous material dispensing device and packaging machine that can simplify the dispensing action, shorten the dispensing time, improve dispensing efficiency, and increase the overall machine operating speed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, this application provides a continuous material dispensing device and packaging machine, which can simplify the material dispensing action, shorten the material dispensing time, improve the material dispensing efficiency, and increase the overall machine operating speed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application provides a continuous material distribution device, including a feeding mechanism and a distribution mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to convey materials to the distribution mechanism, and the distribution mechanism is used to distribute the materials. The distribution mechanism includes: a distribution platform, on which an accumulation station and a discharging station are arranged along the conveying direction of the materials, and the feeding mechanism conveys the materials to the accumulation station; a first chain, a section of which extends along the conveying direction and extends from the side of the accumulation station away from the discharging station to a position beyond the discharging station towards the accumulation station; a plurality of material-pushing rods are spaced apart on the first chain; and a first motor, which is connected to the first chain for transmission and drives the first chain to rotate, and the material-pushing rods push the materials from the accumulation station to the discharging station.

[0006] As described above, after the feeding mechanism delivers a predetermined quantity of material to the accumulation station, the first motor drives the first chain to rotate, thereby driving the pusher rods to push the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station. By setting multiple pusher rods on the first chain, after one pusher rod completes pushing the material, it does not need to return to its original position to push the next group of material at the accumulation station; instead, other pusher rods push the material. This not only simplifies the material distribution process but also shortens the distribution time, improves distribution efficiency, and ultimately increases the overall machine operating speed.

[0007] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the material distribution mechanism further includes: a second chain, a section of which extends along the conveying direction and from the accumulation station to a position beyond the ejection station; a plurality of material-supporting push rods are spaced apart on the second chain; a second motor is connected to the second chain for transmission and drives the second chain to rotate; wherein, when the material-pushing push rod pushes the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station, the material-supporting push rod is located on the side of the material away from the material-pushing push rod and maintains contact with the material.

[0008] Therefore, by setting a material-supporting pusher on the second chain, the material-supporting pusher and the material-pushing pusher can move synchronously when the material-pushing pusher pushes the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station. This allows the material to be clamped and fixed by the material-pushing pusher and the material-supporting pusher, thus making the material more stable as it moves from the accumulation station to the ejection station.

[0009] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, multiple sets of the feeding push rod and the supporting push rod are provided respectively.

[0010] As described above, by setting multiple sets of material-feeding push rods and material-supporting push rods, the material-feeding push rods and material-supporting push rods can move synchronously and arrive at the accumulation station and the ejection station simultaneously during the process of moving the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station in cooperation with the material-feeding push rods. This reduces the control difficulty of the material-feeding push rods and material-supporting push rods.

[0011] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the distance between two adjacent sets of the feeding push rods and the supporting push rods is adapted to the distance between the accumulation station and the ejection station.

[0012] As described above, after a set of feeding pushers and supporting pushers moves the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station, another set of feeding pushers and supporting pushers can be positioned at the corresponding location in the accumulation station. This allows the material to be accumulated in the accumulation station simultaneously as the material in the ejection station is ejected. This improves the material distribution rhythm, shortens the distribution time, increases distribution efficiency, and ultimately enhances the overall machine operating speed.

[0013] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the first chain and the second chain are in a vertical plane, and multiple second chains are provided, respectively located on both sides of the first chain.

[0014] As described above, by setting a second chain on both sides of the first chain, multiple material-supporting push rods can be set at corresponding positions on both sides of the first chain to abut against the material, thereby improving the stability of clamping the material.

[0015] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the continuous material distribution device further includes a controller electrically connected to the first motor and the second motor. The controller controls the first motor to rotate so that when the material pusher pushes the material to abut against the material support pusher at the accumulation station, it controls the second motor to rotate so that the material pusher and the material support pusher move synchronously, moving the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station.

[0016] As described above, by controlling the first and second motors to drive the feeding pusher to push the material in the accumulation station to come into contact with the supporting pusher, the supporting pusher is then driven to move synchronously, which makes the operation of the material distribution mechanism smoother.

[0017] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the material distribution platform is provided with a clearance hole, the first chain and the second chain are located below the clearance hole, and the material pushing rod and the material supporting rod can extend upward from the clearance hole to the top of the material distribution platform.

[0018] As mentioned above, by setting clearance holes on the material distribution platform, the material push rod and the material support push rod can easily extend through the clearance holes to the top of the material distribution platform to clamp and convey the material.

[0019] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the feeding mechanism includes: a feeder for conveying the material; a feeding wheel, which is vertically arranged at the end of the feeder and positioned between the feeder and the accumulation station; the outer circumferential surface of the feeding wheel is provided with multiple sets of limiting parts, bearing parts, and pushing parts connected in a zigzag pattern; when the feeding wheel rotates and the bearing part is horizontally raised, the bearing part is in contact with the feeder, and the feeder conveys the material onto the bearing part; when the feeding wheel rotates, the material is flipped with the feeding wheel and abuts against the limiting part to prevent the material from falling; when the bearing part rotates to a vertical position, the material is placed on the sorting platform; when the feeding wheel rotates, the pushing part abuts against the material at the accumulation station, pushing the material to the accumulation station.

[0020] As described above, the rotation of the feeding wheel not only transfers the material conveyed by the feeder to the distribution table, but also flips the material and pushes it a predetermined distance toward the ejection station, then to the collection station for easy conveying of the next material. This simplifies the structure of the feeding mechanism and the material transfer steps. Consequently, it shortens the material transfer time, improves transfer efficiency, and ultimately increases the overall machine operating speed.

[0021] As one possible implementation of the first aspect, the feeding wheel includes a rotating shaft and a main body. The main body is a plate-shaped component. The rotating shaft is located at the center of the main body. The limiting part, the bearing part, and the pushing part are located at the edge of the main body. Multiple main bodies are arranged parallel to each other, and the first chain is located between the main bodies.

[0022] As described above, by setting the limiting part, the bearing part and the pushing part on the edge of the main body, and setting the first chain between multiple main bodies, the feeding wheel and the first chain can easily avoid each other, so that the feeding wheel can place the material at the accumulation station.

[0023] The second aspect of this application provides a packaging machine, including the continuous feeding device described in any one of the first aspects of this application.

[0024] As described above, after the feeding mechanism delivers a predetermined quantity of material to the accumulation station, the first motor drives the first chain to rotate, thereby driving the pusher rods to push the material from the accumulation station to the ejection station. By setting multiple pusher rods on the first chain, after one pusher rod completes pushing the material, it does not need to return to its original position to push the next group of material at the accumulation station; instead, other pusher rods push the material. This not only simplifies the material distribution process but also shortens the distribution time, improves distribution efficiency, and ultimately increases the overall machine operating speed.

[0025] These and other aspects of this invention will become more readily apparent in the following description of several embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, possible embodiments of the continuous material dispensing device 10 of this application will be described by way of example.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the continuous material dispensing device 10 in this application. Figure 1As shown, the continuous material distribution device 10 of this application includes a feeding mechanism 100 and a distribution mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey material 20 to the distribution mechanism 200, and the distribution mechanism 200 is used to distribute the material 20. The distribution mechanism 200 includes a distribution platform 210, a first chain 220, and a first motor 230. The distribution platform 210 is provided with an accumulation station 212 and an ejection station 213 along the conveying direction of the material 20. The feeding mechanism 100 conveys the material 20 to the accumulation station 212. A portion of the first chain 220 extends along the conveying direction and extends from the side of the accumulation station 212 away from the ejection station 213 to the end of the chain that crosses the ejection station 213 and faces the accumulation station 212. Multiple material push rods 221 are spaced apart on the first chain 220. The first motor 230 is connected to the first chain 220 and drives the first chain 220 to rotate. The material push rods 221 push the material 20 in the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213.

[0035] As described above, after the feeding mechanism 100 delivers a predetermined quantity of material 20 to the accumulation station 212, the first motor 230 drives the first chain 220 to rotate, thereby driving the material pusher 221 to push the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213. By setting multiple material pushers 221 on the first chain 220, after one material pusher 221 completes pushing the material 20, it does not need to return to its original position to push the next group of material 20 from the accumulation station 212; instead, other material pushers 221 will push it. This not only simplifies the material distribution action but also shortens the distribution time, improves the distribution efficiency, and thus increases the overall machine operating speed.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 200 also includes a second chain 240 and a second motor 250. A portion of the second chain 240 extends along the conveying direction, from the accumulation station 212 to a position beyond the ejection station 213. Multiple material-supporting push rods 241 are spaced apart on the second chain 240. The second motor 250 is connected to the second chain 240 and drives it to rotate. When the material-pushing push rod 221 pushes the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213, the material-supporting push rod 241 is located on the side of the material 20 away from the material-pushing push rod 221, maintaining contact with the material 20.

[0037] Therefore, by setting a material-supporting push rod 241 on the second chain 240, the material-supporting push rod 241 and the material-pushing push rod 221 can move synchronously when the material-pushing push rod 221 pushes the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213. Thus, by keeping the material-supporting push rod 241 in contact with the material 20, the material 20 can be clamped and fixed by the material-pushing push rod 221 and the material-supporting push rod 241, thereby making the material 20 more stable during its movement from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple sets of material-feeding push rods 221 and material-supporting push rods 241 are correspondingly arranged. Therefore, by arranging multiple sets of material-feeding push rods 221 and material-supporting push rods 241, during the process of the material 20 being moved from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213 by the material-feeding push rods 221 and material-supporting push rods 241 working together, the sets of material-feeding push rods 221 and material-supporting push rods 241 can move synchronously and arrive at the accumulation station 212 and ejection station 213 simultaneously. This reduces the control difficulty of the material-feeding push rods 221 and material-supporting push rods 241.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the distance between two adjacent sets of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 is adapted to the distance between the accumulation station 212 and the ejection station 213. Therefore, after one set of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 moves the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213, the other adjacent set of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 reaches the corresponding position at the accumulation station 212. This allows for the simultaneous accumulation of material 20 at the accumulation station 212 when the material 20 at the ejection station 213 is ejected. This improves the material distribution rhythm, shortens the distribution time, increases distribution efficiency, and ultimately improves the overall machine operating speed.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first chain 220 and the second chain 240 are located in a vertical plane. Multiple second chains 240 are provided, located on either side of the first chain 220. Specifically, the second chains 240 can be configured as follows: Figure 1 The arrangement shown has two parts, symmetrically positioned on both sides of the plane where the first chain 220 is located. Therefore, by setting the second chain 240 on both sides of the first chain 220, multiple material-supporting push rods 241 can be positioned at corresponding positions on both sides of the first chain 220 to abut against the material 20, thereby improving the stability of clamping the material 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, the continuous material dispensing device 10 further includes a controller electrically connected to a first motor 230 and a second motor 250. The controller controls the first motor 230 to rotate so that when the feeding push rod 221 pushes the material 20 to abut against the supporting push rod 241 at the accumulation station 212, it controls the second motor 250 to rotate so that the feeding push rod 221 and the supporting push rod 241 move synchronously, moving the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213. Thus, by controlling the first motor 230 and the second motor 250 to drive the feeding push rod 221 to push the material 20 at the accumulation station 212 to abut against the supporting push rod 241, and then driving the supporting push rod 241 to move synchronously, the operation of the material dispensing mechanism 200 can be made smoother.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material distribution platform 210 is provided with a clearance hole 211. The first chain 220 and the second chain 240 are located below the clearance hole 211. The material pushing rod 221 and the material supporting rod 241 can extend upwards from the clearance hole 211 to the top of the material distribution platform 210. Specifically, the material distribution platform 210 can be formed by two plate-shaped components, which are arranged horizontally and parallel, maintaining a certain distance to form the clearance hole 211. Alternatively, a rectangular through hole can be provided on a single plate-shaped component; there is no limitation on this. Thus, by providing the clearance hole 211 on the material distribution platform 210, the material pushing rod 221 and the material supporting rod 241 can easily extend upwards from the clearance hole 211 to the top of the material distribution platform 210 to clamp and convey the material 20.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeder and a feeding wheel 110. The feeder is used to transport material 20. The feeding wheel 110 is vertically arranged at the end of the feeder, between the feeder and the collection station 212. Multiple sets of limiting parts 113, bearing parts 114, and pushing parts 115, connected sequentially in a zigzag pattern, are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the feeding wheel 110. When the feeding wheel 110 rotates and the bearing part 114 is in a horizontal position, the bearing part 114 connects with the feeder, and the feeder transports the material 20 onto the bearing part 114. The rotation of the feeding wheel 110 causes the material 20 to flip with the feeding wheel 110 and abut against the limiting part 113, preventing the material 20 from falling. When the bearing part 114 rotates to a vertical position, it places the material 20 on the sorting table 210. The feeding wheel 110 rotates, and the pushing part 115 comes into contact with the material 20 at the collection station 212, pushing the material 20 to the collection station 212. Thus, by rotating the feeding wheel 110, not only can the material 20 conveyed by the feeder be transferred to the distribution table 210, but the material 20 can also be flipped and pushed a predetermined distance towards the push-out station 213, thus pushing the material 20 to the collection station 212 to facilitate the conveying of the next material 20. This simplifies the structure of the feeding mechanism 100 and the steps for transferring the material 20. Consequently, the material transfer time can be shortened, transfer efficiency improved, and overall machine operating speed increased.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feeding wheel 110 includes a rotating shaft 111 and a main body 112. The main body 112 is a plate-shaped component. The rotating shaft 111 is located at the center of the main body 112, and the limiting part 113, the bearing part 114, and the pushing part 115 are located at the edge of the main body 112. Multiple main bodies 112 are arranged parallel to each other, and the first chain 220 is located between the main bodies 112. Specifically, it could be, for example... Figure 1 As shown, there are two main body sections 112, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plane where the first chain 220 is located. Five sets of limiting sections 113, bearing sections 114, and pushing sections 115 are arranged in a circular array at the edge of the main body sections 112. Therefore, by placing the limiting sections 113, bearing sections 114, and pushing sections 115 at the edge of the main body sections 112 and positioning the first chain 220 between the multiple main body sections 112, the feeding wheel 110 can easily avoid the first chain 220, allowing the feeding wheel 110 to place the material 20 at the accumulation station 212.

[0045] This application also provides a packaging machine, including any implementation of the continuous feeding device 10 described above. The specific structure of the packaging machine will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The above description provides an exemplary account of possible embodiments of the continuous material dispensing device 10 and the packaging machine. Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the specific structure of the continuous dispensing device in a particular embodiment will be provided.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the continuous material dispensing device 10 is used to continuously dispense material 20, which is a dough sheet in the shape of a cuboid. The continuous material dispensing device 10 includes a feeding mechanism 100 and a dispensing mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey material 20 to the dispensing mechanism 200, and the dispensing mechanism 200 is used to dispense and send out material 20 after the material 20 conveyed by the feeding mechanism 100 has accumulated to a predetermined quantity.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeder (not shown) and a feeding wheel 110. The feeder can be, for example, a conveyor roller, a conveyor belt, or other suitable conveying device, for horizontally conveying the material 20 in a flat position. The feeding wheel 110 is vertically positioned at the end of the feeder, between the feeder and the collection station 212, for receiving the material 20 conveyed by the feeder and transferring the material 20 to the distribution table 210 of the distribution mechanism 200.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding wheel 110 includes a rotating shaft 111 and a main body 112. The main body 112 is a plate-shaped component, with two plates arranged parallel and spaced apart. The rotating shaft 111 is located at the center of the main body 112, allowing the main body 112 to rotate around the rotating shaft 111. The main body 112, viewed from the side, has a windmill-like shape. Specifically, five sets of limiting parts 113, supporting parts 114, and pushing parts 115 are arranged in a zigzag pattern along the edge of the main body 112. The limiting parts 113, supporting parts 114, and pushing parts 115 are connected in an arc shape at their connection points. The five sets of limiting parts 113, supporting parts 114, and pushing parts 115 are arranged in a circular array, giving the main body 112 a windmill shape.

[0050] When the feeding wheel 110 rotates and the bearing part 114 is in a horizontal position, the bearing part 114 is connected to the feeder, and the feeder conveys the material 20 onto the bearing part 114. The rotation of the feeding wheel 110 causes the material 20 to flip with the feeding wheel 110 and abut against the limiting part 113, preventing the material 20 from falling. The limiting part 113 and the bearing part 114 are set at an acute angle, so that the material 20 can be stably locked onto the limiting part 113 when it flips with the bearing part 114, preventing the material 20 from slipping. When the bearing part 114 rotates to a vertical position, the material 20 flips from a horizontal position to a vertical position and is placed on the sorting table 210. The feeding wheel 110 continues to rotate, causing the pushing part 115 to abut against the material 20 placed on the sorting table 210, and through the rotation of the feeding wheel 110, the pushing part 115 pushes the material 20 to the following accumulation station 212. The pusher 115 and the carrier 114 are set at an obtuse angle to make the connection between them smoother, thereby improving the stability of the pusher 115 when pushing the material 20. At the same time, setting the pusher 115 and the carrier 114 at an obtuse angle also allows the pusher 115 to extend away from the rotation axis 111, thereby increasing the pushing distance of the pusher 115 and enabling it to push the material 20 placed on the distribution table 210 outside the collection station 212 into the collection station 212.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the two main body parts 112 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plane where the first chain 220 is located, which facilitates the feeding wheel 110 to avoid the first chain 220 so that the feeding wheel 110 can place the material 20 in the collection station 212. Specifically, a part of the feeding wheel 110 extends into the avoidance hole 211 of the distributing table 210. The two main body parts 112 of the feeding wheel 110 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first chain 220, and are staggered with the first chain 220. The width of the avoidance hole 211 is smaller than the size of the material 20. When the material 20 is rotated 90° by the bearing part 114 to reach a vertical state, it is placed on the distributing table 210. At this point, the feeding mechanism 100 has completed one feeding cycle.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 200 includes a material distribution table 210, a first chain 220, and a first motor 230. The material distribution table 210 consists of two horizontally arranged plate-shaped components, which are parallel and spaced apart, forming a clearance hole 211 in the middle. The clearance hole 211 extends along the conveying direction of the material 20. The material distribution mechanism 200 has an accumulation station 212 and a push-out station 213 at the corresponding positions of the clearance hole 211 along its extension direction.

[0053] The first chain 220 is positioned on a vertical plane, below the clearance hole 211. Viewed vertically, the first chain 220 is located in the middle of the clearance hole 211 along its width. The first motor 230 is connected to the first chain 220 and can drive the first chain 220 to rotate. Three material-pushing rods 221 are evenly spaced on the first chain 220, each fixed to a link. The upper section of the first chain 220 extends along the material conveying direction of the material 20. When the upper horizontal section of the material-pushing rod 221 rotates with the first chain 220, the material-pushing rod 221 extends vertically upwards from the clearance hole 211 above the material distribution platform 210. The upper section of the first chain 220 extends from the side of the accumulation station 212 away from the ejection station 213 to the end of the chain 212 that crosses the ejection station 213 and faces the accumulation station 212, thereby pushing the material 20 of the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 200 also includes a second chain 240 and a second motor 250. The second chain 240 is positioned on a vertical plane, below the clearance hole 211. Two second chains 240 are provided, symmetrically arranged on either side of the plane where the first chain 220 is located. Viewed vertically, the two second chains 240 are positioned inside the clearance hole 211, near the edges on both sides. The second motor 250 is connected to the two second chains 240 and can drive them to rotate synchronously. Each second chain 240 has three evenly spaced material-supporting push rods 241, which are fixed to a link of the first chain 220. The material-supporting push rods 241 on the two second chains 240 are arranged side-by-side, meaning that from the side view, the material-supporting push rods 241 on the two second chains 240 overlap. The upper section of the second chain 240 extends along the conveying direction of the material 20. When the upper horizontal section of the supporting push rod 241 rotates with the second chain 240, the supporting push rod 241 extends vertically upward through the clearance hole 211 above the distribution platform 210. The upper section of the second chain 240 extends from the accumulation station 212 to a position beyond the ejection station 213, meaning the supporting push rod 241 can maintain its extended position above the distribution platform 210 as it moves from the accumulation station 212 to a position beyond the ejection station 213. Therefore, when the push rod 221 pushes the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213, the supporting push rod 241 remains in contact with the material 20 on the other side of the material 20 and moves synchronously with the push rod 221. Therefore, the material 20 can be clamped and fixed by the feeding push rod 221 and the supporting push rod 241, thereby making the material 20 more stable during the process of moving from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, three sets of material-pushing pushers 221 and material-supporting pushers 241 are correspondingly arranged, that is, one material-pushing pusher 221 and two material-supporting pushers 241 arranged side by side on the two second chains 240 form a set. When each set of material-pushing pushers 221 and material-supporting pushers 241 rotates with the first chain 220 and the second chain 240 to the upper horizontal section, they can jointly clamp and push the material 20 accumulated at the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213. Thus, during the process of the material-pushing pushers 221 and material-supporting pushers 241 working together to move the material 20 from the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213, each set of material-pushing pushers 221 and material-supporting pushers 241 can move synchronously and arrive at the accumulation station 212 and the ejection station 213 simultaneously. This reduces the control difficulty of the material-pushing pushers 221 and material-supporting pushers 241.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the distance between two adjacent sets of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 is matched with the distance between the accumulation station 212 and the ejection station 213. That is, after one set of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 pushes the material 20 accumulated at the accumulation station 212 to the ejection station 213, the adjacent other set of feeding pushers 221 and supporting pushers 241 reaches the position of the accumulation station 212 to conveniently receive the material 20 conveyed by the feeding mechanism 100. Therefore, the accumulation of material 20 at the accumulation station 212 can be completed simultaneously when the material 20 at the ejection station 213 is ejected. This can improve the material distribution rhythm, shorten the material distribution time, improve the material distribution efficiency, and thus improve the overall machine operating speed.

[0057] In summary, the process of distributing material 20 using the continuous distributing device 10 in this embodiment includes the following: the feeder conveys the flat material 20 forward one by one. When the material 20 reaches the end of the feeder, the feeding wheel 110 rotates, causing the supporting part 114 to lift and flip the material 20 from below. During the flipping process, the limiting part 113 limits and abuts the material 20 towards the side of the feeding wheel 110's rotation direction, preventing the material 20 from slipping off the supporting part 114 under gravity. When the material 20 is flipped 90° with the supporting part 114 to reach a vertical state, the material 20 is placed on the distributing table 210. The feeding wheel 110 continues to rotate, causing the pushing part 115 to abut against the material 20 and push the material 20 forward, allowing the material 20 to enter the accumulation station 212. Thus, the feeding mechanism 100 repeats the feeding 8 times, allowing the accumulation station 212 to accumulate material as shown in the figure. Figure 1 The eight materials 20 shown in the figure complete the accumulation of material 20.

[0058] After the material 20 at the accumulation station 212 is accumulated, the first motor 230 drives the first chain 220 to rotate, causing the material pusher 221 to rotate above the distribution table 210 and pushing the material 20 at the accumulation station 212 forward. When the material 20 approaches or comes into contact with the material support pusher 241, the second motor 250 drives the second chain 240 to rotate, causing the material support pusher 241 to move forward along with the material pusher 221 and the material 20, clamping and conveying the material 20 to the ejection station 213. When the material 20 reaches the ejection station 213, the first motor 230 and the second motor 250 stop rotating, and the ejection device pushes the material 20 out laterally from the ejection station 213, while the feeding mechanism 100 continues to feed the material 20 to the accumulation station 212.
