Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production technology for chip mounters, specifically to an automatic feeding device for a flexible vibratory feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A flexible vibratory feeder is a feeding device for bulk electronic components. It uses intermittent vibration to flip the material in the hopper. A vision system identifies the components based on their images and performs the correct production operation. When the material in the hopper is used up, the machine must be stopped for manual replenishment. However, frequent shutdowns are not conducive to automated production and also result in high labor intensity for workers, making it difficult to work continuously and efficiently. Therefore, we propose an automatic replenishment device for a flexible vibratory feeder. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for a flexible vibratory feeder to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for a flexible vibratory feeder, comprising a body, a front-to-back motion module disposed on the bottom inner surface of the body, a cylinder disposed on the inner wall of the body, a vibration module disposed on the top of the front-to-back motion module, a hopper disposed on the top of the vibration module, and a flow channel fixedly installed on the outer wall of the hopper on the side away from the body.

[0005] Preferably, a slide rail is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the machine body, and the slide rail slides in cooperation with the front and rear motion modules.

[0006] Preferably, there are two sets of hoppers and flow channels, with the two sets of hoppers and flow channels mirrored on the front and rear sides of the end of the machine body.

[0007] Preferably, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the front and rear motion modules, and the top of the machine body is provided with a rectangular groove whose width is adapted to the width of the connection between the hopper and the vibration module.

[0008] Preferably, the vibration module includes a connecting block disposed between the front and rear motion modules and the hopper, and a vibration motor fixedly installed on the side of the connecting block.

[0009] Preferably, the front end of the flow channel is provided with an electrically controlled closed door, and the closed door, the cylinder, and the vibration module are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for a flexible vibratory feeder, which has the following advantages: 1. This flexible vibratory feeder automatic feeding device, when the system sends a feeding signal, the controller can precisely coordinate the actions of the cylinder, the front and rear motion modules, the vibration module and the flow channel sealing door to complete the fully automated operation from material hopper transfer, vibration feeding to quantitative injection. This automation process effectively solves the production line downtime problem caused by frequent manual feeding, significantly reduces non-operation time, thereby greatly improving the overall production efficiency and equipment utilization rate, and meeting the strict requirements of automated production lines for continuous and efficient operation.

[0011] 2. This flexible vibratory feeder automatic feeding device has a feeding mechanism that can be adapted to various types of surface mount electronic components, ensuring the stability and wide applicability of the feeding. At the same time, the modular design allows for flexible configuration of the number of feeding bins to match the specific number of flexible vibratory feeder bins in actual production. For example, the dual-station structure formed by two sets of mirror-arranged bins and flow channels used in this embodiment provides convenience for production expansion. The entire feeding device has a compact structure and reasonable layout, ensuring that it can be seamlessly integrated and applied to existing models on the production line, and has good equipment compatibility and production line adaptability.

[0013] In the diagram: 1. Machine body; 2. Forward and backward motion module; 3. Slide rail; 4. Cylinder; 5. Vibration module; 6. Hopper; 7. Flow channel. Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for a flexible vibratory feeder, including a body 1, a front-to-back motion module 2 disposed on the inner surface of the bottom of the body 1, a cylinder 4 disposed on the inner wall of the body 1, a vibration module 5 disposed on the top of the front-to-back motion module 2, a hopper 6 disposed on the top of the vibration module 5, and a flow channel 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the hopper 6 away from the body 1. First, a control terminal is disposed inside the body 1, and a vision recognition system is also disposed on the production line. The vision recognition system determines whether the hopper 6 needs to be fed. When feeding is required, the control terminal controls the cylinder 4 to start, thereby causing the front-to-back motion module 2 to move forward to the feeding position inside the body 1. At this time, the door in front of the flow channel 7 opens, and the vibration module is started at the same time. The material flows from the hopper 6 into the flow channel 7, and finally is injected into the feeding chamber of the vibratory feeder from the flow channel 7. When the amount of material injected is quantitative, the vibration module 5 stops working, the door in front of the flow channel 7 closes, and the cylinder 4 controls the front-to-back motion module 2 to return to the initial position, thereby completing the feeding work of the flexible vibratory feeder.

[0015] Furthermore, a slide rail 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the machine body 1. The slide rail 3 slides and cooperates with the front and rear motion modules 2, which enhances the stability and guiding accuracy of the movement process, avoids the front and rear motion modules 2 from deviating or getting stuck during the movement, and ensures that the hopper 6 can accurately and smoothly reach the preset position. This improves the reliability and repeatability of the entire feeding device. In addition, there are two sets of hoppers 6 and flow channels 7. The two sets of hoppers 6 and flow channels 7 are mirrored on the front and rear sides of the end of the machine body 1 to form a dual-station structure, which can realize the replacement of feeding and feeding, further extending the continuous operation time. When the material in one hopper 6 is used up, it can be switched to the other side to continue working, effectively reducing the downtime frequency and improving the equipment utilization rate and production cycle.

[0016] Meanwhile, the output end of cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the front and rear motion modules 2, and a rectangular groove with a width that matches the width of the connection between the hopper 6 and the vibration module 5 is provided on the top of the machine body 1, providing a stable and reliable power source to ensure that the hopper 6 can move back and forth as needed. The rectangular groove on the top of the machine body 1 not only facilitates the installation and movement of the hopper 6 and the vibration module 5, but also plays a limiting and guiding role to prevent vibration or position deviation caused by excessive movement gap.

[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, the vibration module 5 includes a connecting block disposed between the front and rear motion modules 2 and the hopper 6, and a vibration motor fixedly installed on the side of the connecting block. The structure is compact and has high vibration transmission efficiency. The vibration motor 5 transmits vibration to the hopper 6 through the connecting block, which promotes the orderly flow of materials in the hopper 6 and smooth entry into the flow channel 7, effectively preventing material blockage or bridging, and improving the smoothness and stability of material supply. Specifically, the front end of the flow channel 7 is provided with an electrically controlled closing door, and the closing door, cylinder 4, and vibration module 5 are all electrically connected to the controller, realizing intelligent opening and closing control of the outlet. Through the coordinated work with cylinder 4 and vibration module 5, the timing and flow rate of material replenishment can be automatically controlled according to the production rhythm and material demand, further optimizing the automated process and reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0018] In this utility model, when the device is in use, the material level in the flexible vibrating plate is first detected by the visual recognition system set on the production line. When the system determines that material needs to be replenished, the control terminal inside the device body 1 immediately starts the automatic material replenishment program. The control terminal controls the cylinder 4 to move and drive the front and rear motion module 2 to slide forward along the slide rail 3 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the body 1, thereby accurately moving the vibration module 5 installed on the top of the front and rear motion module 2, along with the hopper 6 and flow channel 7 on it, to the predetermined feeding position inside the body 1. When the feeding unit reaches the designated position, the control terminal sends a command simultaneously, the electric closing door at the front end of the flow channel 7 opens, and the vibration module 5 starts. The connecting block and the vibration motor fixed on its side of the vibration module 5 start to work. The vibration generated is efficiently transmitted to the hopper 6 through the connecting block, causing the material in the hopper to become fluidized and move in an orderly manner towards the flow channel 7. The material is then injected from the hopper 6 into the feeding chamber of the flexible vibrating plate through the flow channel 7. Once the material injection reaches the preset quantity, the control terminal issues another command, the vibration module 5 stops working, the electric sealing door at the front end of the flow channel 7 closes, and then the cylinder 4 drives the front and rear motion module 2 to return to the initial position along the slide rail 3, completing one side feeding operation. Throughout the feeding process, the cylinder 4, vibration module 5 and the sealing door of the flow channel 7 are all coordinated and controlled by the controller, realizing the automated management of feeding timing and flow rate.

[0019] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
