Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a material dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In manufacturing processes, it is necessary to separate a desired number of workpieces from multiple workpieces for packaging. This is typically done using a sorting device. In existing technology, the sorting device transfers multiple workpieces one by one from the loading position to the unloading position through multiple movements. The number of workpieces transferred to the unloading position is controlled by adjusting the number of movements of the sorting device to achieve the desired separation. The need for multiple movements to separate the desired number of workpieces results in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a material separating device that can improve the efficiency of separating a desired number of workpieces.

[0004] This utility model provides a material distribution device, which includes a feeding mechanism and a rotating mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to transport workpieces to the loading position; the rotating mechanism includes a rotating drive and a rotating component, which is rotatably connected to the feeding mechanism. The rotating component has a receiving groove and an inlet / outlet, which communicate with the receiving groove. The receiving groove extends in a direction intersecting the rotation axis of the rotating component, so that a predetermined number of workpieces can be arranged in the receiving groove along the extension direction of the receiving groove. The rotating drive is connected to the rotating component and can drive the rotating component to rotate to the position where the inlet / outlet is located at the unloading position or the loading position. When the inlet / outlet is located at the loading position, it is used to allow a predetermined number of workpieces to enter the receiving groove. When the inlet / outlet is located at the unloading position, the workpieces in the receiving groove can leave through the inlet / outlet.

[0005] The material dispensing device provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The receiving groove extends along the direction intersecting the rotation axis of the rotating component. The size of the receiving groove can determine the number of workpieces that can enter the receiving groove through the inlet and outlet when the inlet and outlet are at the loading position, so that the receiving groove can separate the expected number of workpieces from the loading position and drive the expected number of workpieces to be transferred synchronously to the downward loading position. There is no need to transfer the expected number of workpieces from the loading position to the unloading position through multiple movements, thereby improving the efficiency of separating the expected number of workpieces.

[0006] In one embodiment of this implementation, a sensor is provided on the feeding mechanism. The sensor is electrically connected to the rotation drive component. The sensor is used to detect whether there is a workpiece stuck at the inlet or outlet. The sensor can send an electrical signal to the rotation drive component so that the rotation drive component drives the rotating component to move the receiving tank to the material position.

[0007] In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating mechanism further includes a pusher driver and a pusher component. The pusher driver is connected to the rotating component, and the pusher component is connected to the pusher driver. A portion of the pusher component extends into the receiving groove and is used to abut against the workpiece. When the rotating component rotates to the inlet / outlet position, the pusher driver can drive the pusher component to move along the extension direction of the receiving groove to push the workpiece in the receiving groove out of the inlet / outlet.

[0008] In one embodiment of this implementation, a circular groove is provided on the rotating component, the circular groove extends circumferentially along the rotation axis of the rotating component, and a pushing port is provided on the groove wall of the circular groove, the pushing port connecting the circular groove and the receiving groove. The pusher is fixed relative to the feeding mechanism and rotatably connected to the rotating component. The pusher slides in the circular groove. When the inlet and outlet are in the unloading position, the pusher is opposite to the pushing port. The pusher can drive the pusher from the circular groove through the pushing port into the receiving groove, and cause the pusher to push the workpiece in the receiving groove out of the inlet and outlet.

[0009] In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member has an outer peripheral surface, and the inlet and outlet are opened on the outer peripheral surface. The feeding mechanism has a guide port for the workpiece to enter the feeding position. When the inlet and outlet are in the feeding position, the guide port is opposite to the inlet and outlet. When the inlet and outlet are outside the feeding position, the outer peripheral surface is opposite to the guide port so as to abut against the workpiece in the guide port.

[0010] In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member can rotate about a first axis, the axis of the outer peripheral surface coincides with the first axis, the arc where the axis coincides with the first axis is defined as the first arc, and the receiving groove extends radially along the first arc.

[0011] In one embodiment of this implementation, the axial direction of the entrance / exit is the radial direction of the first arc.

[0012] In one embodiment of this implementation, the material distribution device further includes a limiting member connected to the feeding mechanism. The limiting member extends circumferentially from the loading position to the unloading position along the first axis to form an arc-shaped limiting surface. During the process of the rotating member driving the inlet and outlet to rotate from the loading position to the unloading position, the limiting member covers the inlet and outlet, and the arc-shaped limiting surface is used to abut against the workpiece in the receiving groove.

[0013] In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member has multiple receiving grooves arranged circumferentially along the first axis.

[0014] In one embodiment of this implementation, the material dispensing device further includes a dispensing turntable and a dispensing driver. The dispensing turntable is rotatably connected to the feeding mechanism around a second axis. The second axis intersects with the rotation axis of the rotating component. The dispensing turntable has multiple dispensing slots arranged circumferentially along the second axis. The dispensing driver can drive the dispensing turntable to rotate so that the multiple dispensing slots pass through the unloading position in sequence. The rotation driver can drive the rotating component to rotate until the inlet and outlet are located at the unloading position so that the workpiece in the receiving slot can enter the dispensing slot through the inlet and outlet.

[0023] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the material dispensing device 100 according to one embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 yes Figure 1A three-dimensional structural diagram of the rotating mechanism 20 and sensor 12, etc. This utility model embodiment provides a material dispensing device 100, which includes a feeding mechanism 10 and a rotating mechanism 20. The feeding mechanism 10 is used to transport the workpiece 200 to the loading position; the rotating mechanism 20 includes a rotating drive 21 and a rotating member 22. The rotating member 22 is rotatably connected to the feeding mechanism 10. The rotating member 22 is provided with a receiving groove 222 and an inlet / outlet 223. The inlet / outlet 223 is connected to the receiving groove 222. The receiving groove 222 extends in a direction intersecting the rotation axis of the rotating member 22, so that the expected number of workpieces 200 can be arranged in the receiving groove 222 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 222. The rotating drive 21 is connected to the rotating member 22 and can drive the rotating member 22 to rotate to the inlet / outlet 223 when it is in the unloading position or the loading position. When the inlet / outlet 223 is in the loading position, it is used to allow the expected number of workpieces 200 to enter the receiving groove 222. When the inlet / outlet 223 is in the unloading position, the workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 can leave through the inlet / outlet 223.

[0025] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 10 includes a vibratory feeder 14 and a guide tube 13. One end of the guide tube 13 is connected to the vibratory feeder 14, and the other end extends to the loading position. An opening is provided at the end of the guide tube 13 extending to the loading position. The vibratory feeder 14 can convey the workpiece 200 to the loading position through the guide tube 13, and cause the workpiece 200 to leave the guide tube 13 through the opening. The rotating component 22 and the feeding mechanism 10 can rotate around an axis parallel to the X direction. The extension direction of the receiving groove 222 is perpendicular to the X direction. The width of the receiving groove 222 is adapted to the workpiece 200. The axial direction of the inlet / outlet 223 coincides with the extension direction of the receiving groove 222. The size of the inlet / outlet 223 is adapted to the workpiece 200. When the rotating component 22 rotates to the loading position, the inlet / outlet 223 is opposite to the opening on the guide tube 13.

[0026] Understandably, the width of the receiving groove 222 is adapted to the workpiece 200, enabling multiple workpieces 200 entering the receiving groove 222 to be arranged in a single row along the extension direction of the receiving groove 222. The size of the inlet / outlet 223 is adapted to the inlet / outlet 223, enabling multiple workpieces 200 to enter the receiving groove 222 sequentially from the opening on the guide pipe 13 through the inlet / outlet 223 when the inlet / outlet 223 is opposite to the opening on the guide pipe 13, which is beneficial for arranging multiple workpieces 200 along the extension direction of the receiving groove 222. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 is opposite to the inlet / outlet 223. The dimensions of the receiving groove 222 in the extending direction of the receiving groove 222 are fixed so that the distance between the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 and the inlet / outlet 223 is fixed. Multiple workpieces 200 will enter the receiving groove 222 in sequence and be arranged from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 toward the inlet / outlet 223. When the arrangement of multiple workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 extends to the inlet / outlet 223, the inlet / outlet 223 is blocked so that the remaining workpieces 200 in the guide tube 13 cannot enter the receiving groove 222. This allows the receiving groove 222 to complete the separation of the expected number of workpieces 200 and allows the rotating member 22 to drive the expected number of workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 to be transferred to the lower material position.

[0027] The material distribution device 100 of this utility model has a receiving groove 222 extending in a direction intersecting with the rotation axis of the rotating member 22. The size of the receiving groove 222 can determine the number of workpieces 200 that can enter the receiving groove 222 through the inlet and outlet when the inlet and outlet are at the loading position, so that the receiving groove 222 can separate the expected number of workpieces 200 from the loading position and drive the expected number of workpieces 200 to be transferred synchronously to the downward loading position. It is not necessary to transfer the expected number of workpieces 200 from the loading position to the unloading position through multiple movements, thereby improving the efficiency of separating the expected number of workpieces 200.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, a sensor 12 is provided on the feeding mechanism 10. The sensor 12 is electrically connected to the rotation drive 21. The sensor 12 is used to detect whether there is a workpiece 200 staying at the inlet / outlet 223. The sensor 12 can send an electrical signal to the rotation drive 21 so that the rotation drive 21 drives the rotating component 22 to move the receiving groove 222 to the material feeding position.

[0029] Specifically, the detection end of sensor 12 is opposite to inlet / outlet 223. It is understood that when the receiving tank 222 is full, the arrangement of multiple workpieces 200 within the receiving tank 222 extends to inlet / outlet 223. The workpiece 200 at the end of this arrangement is located at inlet / outlet 223 and is stationary, allowing sensor 12 to detect the presence of a workpiece 200 at inlet / outlet 223. Sensor 12 can then send an electrical signal to the rotation drive 21, causing the rotation drive 21 to move the filled receiving tank 222 to the material feeding position, thus unloading the workpiece 200. After the receiving tank 222 is full, the workpieces 200 on the feeding mechanism 10 cannot enter the receiving tank 222, causing the separating device 100 to stop separating the expected number of workpieces 200. If the rotating component 22 remains stationary after the receiving tank 222 is full, the efficiency of the separating device 100 will decrease. The sensor 12 is provided to improve the efficiency of the separating device 100.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating mechanism 20 further includes a pusher driver 24 and a pusher 25. The pusher driver 24 is connected to the rotating member 22, and the pusher 25 is connected to the pusher driver 24. A portion of the pusher 25 extends into the receiving groove 222 and is used to abut against the workpiece 200. When the rotating member 22 rotates to the inlet / outlet 223 being in the unloading position, the pusher driver 24 can drive the pusher 25 to move along the extension direction of the receiving groove 222 to push the workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222 out of the inlet / outlet 223.

[0031] Specifically, the pusher driver 24 is a cylinder. It can be understood that when the inlet / outlet 223 is in the unloading position, the pusher 25 and the pusher driver 24 push the workpiece 200 out of the inlet / outlet 223, which can reduce the risk that the workpiece 200 cannot be transferred from the receiving groove 222 to the unloading position, and is conducive to the normal unloading of the workpiece 200.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, a circular groove 224 is provided on the rotating member 22. The circular groove 224 extends circumferentially along the rotation axis of the rotating member 22. A push port 225 is provided on the groove wall of the circular groove 224. The push port 225 connects the circular groove 224 and the receiving groove 222. The pusher driver 24 is fixed relative to the feeding mechanism 10 and rotatably connected to the rotating member 22. The pusher 25 is slidably engaged with the circular groove 224. When the inlet / outlet 223 is in the unloading position, the pusher 25 is opposite to the push port 225. The pusher driver can drive the pusher 25 from the circular groove 224 through the push port 225 into the receiving groove 222, and cause the pusher 25 to push the workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222 out of the inlet / outlet 223.

[0033] Specifically, the push port 225 penetrates the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, the area of ​​the push port 225 is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, the axis of the push port 225 is parallel to the extension direction of the receiving groove 222, and when the rotating member 22 rotates to the inlet / outlet 223 being in the unloading position, the push port 225 is opposite to the push member 25.

[0034] It is understandable that the area of ​​the push port 225 is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, so that the movement of the workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222 is restricted by the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, thereby reducing the risk that the workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222 will enter the annular groove 224 through the push port 225. The push port 225 penetrates the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, so that the pusher driver 24 drives the pusher 25 into the receiving groove 222. The pusher 25 can abut against the end of the arrangement of multiple workpieces 200 opposite to the inlet / outlet 223, so as to push the arrangement of multiple workpieces 200 out of the inlet / outlet 223 from the receiving groove 222. This makes the direction and magnitude of the force applied by the pusher 25 to each workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222 the same, so that multiple workpieces 200 can leave the receiving groove 222 from the inlet / outlet 223 at the same time. This reduces the risk that some workpieces 200 remain in the receiving groove 222 after the workpieces 200 are unloaded, and helps to ensure that the number of workpieces 200 unloaded at the unloading position meets the expectation.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member 22 has an outer peripheral surface 221, and the inlet / outlet 223 is opened on the outer peripheral surface 221. The feeding mechanism 10 has a guide port 11 for the workpiece 200 to enter the feeding position. When the inlet / outlet 223 is in the feeding position, the guide port 11 is opposite to the inlet / outlet 223. When the inlet / outlet 223 is outside the feeding position, the outer peripheral surface 221 is opposite to the guide port 11 so as to abut against the workpiece 200 in the guide port 11.

[0036] Specifically, the guide port 11 is an opening on one end of the guide tube 13 extending to the feeding position. It can be understood that when the rotating member 22 rotates, the workpiece 200 inside the guide port 11 abuts against the outer peripheral surface 221 and moves relative to the rotating member 22 along the outer peripheral surface 221. When the outer peripheral surface 221 abuts against the workpiece 200 inside the guide port 11, the workpiece 200 inside the guide port 11 is supported by the rotating member 22, thus restricting the workpiece 200 from leaving the guide port 11, which helps reduce the risk of the workpiece 200 in the feeding mechanism 10 falling to an unintended position.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member 22 can rotate about the first axis, the axis of the outer peripheral surface 221 coincides with the first axis, the arc whose axis coincides with the first axis is defined as the first arc, and the receiving groove 222 extends radially along the first arc.

[0038] Specifically, the first axis is parallel to the X direction. It can be understood that after workpiece 200 enters the receiving groove 222 from the loading position via inlet / outlet 223, workpiece 200 will slide towards the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 along its extension direction, and the sliding will be stopped by the braking force provided by the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222. When the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 brakes the sliding workpiece 200, the rotating component 22 will be subjected to a reaction force along the extension direction of the receiving groove 222. The receiving groove 222 extends radially along the first arc, ensuring that the reaction force on the rotating component 22 does not have a tangential component along the first arc. This prevents the rotating component 22 from rotating under the drive of the reaction force, reducing the risk that the workpiece 200 will be unable to enter the receiving groove 222 via inlet / outlet 223 due to unexpected rotation of the rotating component 222.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the axial direction of the entrance / exit 223 is the radial direction of the first arc.

[0040] It is understandable that the axial direction of the inlet / outlet 223 is the radial direction of the first arc, which can reduce the resistance encountered by the workpiece 200 when it enters the receiving groove 222 through the inlet / outlet 223, so that the workpiece 200 can enter the receiving groove 222 more easily.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the material distribution device 100 further includes a limiting member 23, which is connected to the feeding mechanism 10. The limiting member 23 extends circumferentially from the loading position to the unloading position along the first axis to form an arc-shaped limiting surface 231. During the process of the rotating member 22 driving the inlet and outlet 223 to rotate from the loading position to the unloading position, the limiting member 23 covers the inlet and outlet 223, and the arc-shaped limiting surface 231 is used to abut against the workpiece 200 in the receiving groove 222.

[0042] Specifically, the rotating member 22 is located on the side of the limiting member 23 facing the first axis. It can be understood that the rotating member 22 is located on the side of the limiting member 23 facing the first axis, so that the rotating member 22 can be rotated until the entrance / exit 223 is located on the side of the arc-shaped limiting surface 231 facing the first axis, so that the limiting member 23 can cover the entrance / exit 223. The starting end of the arrangement of workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222, while the end is exposed at the inlet 223. During the process of the rotating component 22 driving the workpieces 200 from the loading position to the unloading position, the limiting component 23 can abut against the end, and the end can move relative to the limiting component 23 along the arc limiting surface 231. The limiting component 23 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 222 can cooperate from opposite sides to fix the arrangement of workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222, so that the expected number of workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 can be transferred to the unloading position while maintaining the original arrangement. This helps to reduce the risk of workpieces 200 falling during the transfer process, and also helps to reduce the risk of multiple workpieces 200 being misaligned and stuck to the side wall of the receiving groove 222, making it difficult to leave the receiving groove 222.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the rotating member 22 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 222, which are arranged circumferentially along the first axis.

[0044] Specifically, multiple receiving slots 222 are symmetrically distributed around the first axis. It can be understood that when the inlet / outlet 223 of one receiving slot 222 is in the loading position, the inlet / outlet 223 of the other receiving slot 222 is in the unloading position, so that the rotating component 22 can simultaneously unload the expected number of workpieces 200 at the unloading position while separating the expected number of workpieces 200 at the loading position, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the material distribution device 100.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this implementation, the material dispensing device 100 further includes a dispensing turntable 31 and a dispensing driver. The dispensing turntable 31 is rotatably connected to the feeding mechanism 10 around a second axis. The second axis intersects with the rotation axis of the rotating member 22. The dispensing turntable 31 has multiple dispensing slots 311 arranged circumferentially along the second axis. The dispensing driver can drive the dispensing turntable 31 to rotate so that the multiple dispensing slots 311 pass through the unloading position in sequence. The rotating drive member 21 can drive the rotating member 22 to rotate until the inlet / outlet 223 is located at the unloading position so that the workpiece 200 in the receiving slot 222 can enter the dispensing slot 311 through the inlet / outlet 223.

[0046] Specifically, the second axis is parallel to the Z direction, the dispensing groove 311 has an opening with the axis parallel to the Z direction, when the dispensing groove 311 is rotated to the unloading position and the inlet / outlet 223 is rotated to the unloading position, the opening of the dispensing groove 311 is opposite to the inlet / outlet 223, and the dispensing groove 311 is located on the bottom side of the inlet / outlet 223.

[0047] Understandably, the rotating component 22 can drive the workpieces 200 in the receiving groove 222 to the feeding position, so that the expected number of workpieces 200 can fall into the dispensing groove 311 at the feeding position. The dispensing driver can drive multiple dispensing grooves 311 to pass through the feeding position in sequence, so that multiple dispensing grooves 311 can sequentially dispense multiple sets of the expected number of workpieces 200, which is beneficial to realize the automated packaging of the expected number of workpieces 200.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
