As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a feeding mechanism 10, which includes a first conveying assembly 100 and a transferring assembly 200. The first conveying component 100 is used for conveying a feeding tray to the feeding station 12, and the transferring component 200 is used for transferring the feeding tray, conveyed by the first conveying component 100 to the feeding station 12, to the transferring station 13.

It should be noted that the tray is internally provided with a product. After the transfer assembly 200 transfers the trays to the transfer station 13, the products in the trays may be removed by a robot or other mechanism.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the transfer assembly 200 includes a carrier module 210. The carrying module 210 is controllably reciprocally movable between the loading station 12 and the transferring station 13 along a first direction, and the carrying module 210 comprises a carrying unit 211 movable along a second direction different from the first direction. The carrying unit 211 can pass through the rest position and the carrying position during moving in the second direction.

When the carrying unit 211 moves to the avoidance position, the carrying module 210 and the tray of the loading station 12 are staggered in the first direction. When the carrying unit 211 moves to the carrying position, the carrying unit 211 and the tray of the loading station 12 are opposite in the first direction, so that the carrying module 210 can carry and drive the tray to the transferring station 13.

With the loading mechanism described above, the first conveying assembly 100 first conveys the tray to the loading station 12. Then, the carrying unit 211 in the carrying module 210 is moved to the avoidance position, so that the carrying module 210 and the tray of the loading station 12 are staggered in the first direction. Next, the carrying module 210 is moved to the loading station 12, and then the carrying unit 211 is moved to the carrying position, so that the carrying unit 211 is opposite to the tray of the loading station 12. Finally, the carrying unit 211 moves from the loading station 12 to the transferring station 13, and drives the tray to the transferring station 13. After the carrying unit 211 moves to the avoidance position, the carrying module 210 and the tray of the loading station 12 can be staggered in the first direction, so that the carrying module 210 can move to the loading station 12, and the tray is driven to the transferring station 13 after the carrying unit 211 moves to the carrying position. The first conveying assembly 100 does not need to wait for the bearing unit 211 to move to the feeding station 12 and then convey the material tray to the feeding station 12, so that the feeding time is effectively shortened, and the feeding efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, the first direction is a Z direction in fig. 1 to 3, the second direction is an X direction in fig. 1 to 3, in other figures, the first direction is also a Z direction, and the second direction is also an X direction, which will not be described further. In practical application, the first direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is a horizontal direction.

As can be understood from fig. 2 and fig. 3, when the tray and the carrying module 210 are both located at the loading station 12, and the carrying unit 211 is located at the carrying position, the carrying unit 211 is located directly below the tray; when the tray is located at the loading station 12 and the carrying module 210 is located at the transferring station 13, the carrying unit 211 is located above the tray. Therefore, after the carrying unit 211 moves to the carrying position, the carrying module 210 moves upward, and the carrying unit 211 can lift the tray to the transferring station 13.

In one embodiment, the loading mechanism further comprises a frame 11. The first conveying unit 100 and the transfer unit 200 are both disposed on the frame 11.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the first conveying assembly 100 includes a bracket 110, a conveying driving unit 120, and a conveying belt 130. The support 110 is disposed on the frame 11, and the conveying driving unit 120 is disposed on the support 110 and is in transmission connection with the conveying belt 130 to drive the conveying belt 130 to rotate. The tray on the conveyor belt 130 can be transported to the loading station 12 during rotation of the conveyor belt 130.

In this embodiment, the conveying driving unit 120 includes a driving motor, a synchronous belt, a driving wheel, and a driven wheel. The conveyer belt 130 is rotatably disposed on the support 110 through a driving wheel and a driven wheel, and the driving motor is disposed on the support 110 and is rotatably connected with the driving wheel through a synchronous belt. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving motor may be directly connected with the driving wheel in a transmission manner. Or in other embodiments, other means of feeding the tray may be used, without limitation.

Referring to fig. 2 and 5, in one embodiment, the transfer assembly 200 further includes a lifting module 220. The lifting module 220 is in transmission connection with the carrying module 210 to drive the carrying module 210 to move along the first direction.

Further, the lifting module 220 includes a lifting plate 221 and a lifting driving member 222. The lifter plate 221 is provided to the frame 11. The bearing module 210 is reciprocally disposed on the lifting plate 221 along the first direction through a guide rail and a slider. The lifting driving member 222 is disposed on the lifting plate 221 and is in transmission connection with the carrier module 210 to drive the carrier module 210 to move along the first direction.

Optionally, the lifting driving member 222 is a motor, and the lifting module 220 further includes a screw and a nut. The motor is connected with the screw rod in a transmission way through the synchronous belt, and the nut is arranged on the screw rod and connected with the bearing module 210. Of course, in other embodiments, the lift drive 222 may be other drive mechanisms.

In one embodiment, the carrier module 210 further includes a mounting plate 212 and a avoidance driver 213. The mounting plate 212 is coupled to the lift drive 222 for controlled movement in a first direction. The avoidance driving piece 213 and the bearing unit 211 are both disposed on the mounting plate 212, and the avoidance driving piece 213 is in transmission connection with the bearing unit 211 to drive the bearing unit 211 to move along the second direction.

Further, the carrying unit 211 is also reciprocatingly provided to the mounting plate 212 by a guide rail and a slider in the second direction. Further, the avoidance driver 213 is a cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the avoidance driver 213 may be other driving mechanisms, and is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, the carrying unit 211 comprises two pallets. The two supporting plates are arranged on the mounting plate 212 at intervals along the second direction, and the avoidance driving piece 213 is in transmission connection with the two supporting plates at the same time and is used for driving the two supporting plates to be close to or far away from each other.

Wherein, in the process of the carrying unit 211 moving from the carrying position to the avoiding position, the two supporting plates are far away from each other. It can be seen that the two pallets approach each other during the movement of the carrying unit 211 from the rest position to the carrying position.

It should be noted that when the carrying unit 211 is located at the carrying position, the two trays are opposite to the tray of the loading station 12 in the first direction, so that the trays can be supported at the bottom of the tray during the moving process of the trays along the first direction. When the bearing unit 211 is located at the avoidance position, the two supporting plates are staggered with the material tray in the first direction, so that the material tray can be moved to the lower part of the material tray.

In addition, it can be understood that the tray of the loading station 12 is offset from the components of the carrier module 210 except the carrier unit 211 in the first direction, so that the carrier unit 211 moves to the avoiding position, so that the carrier module 210 is offset from the tray of the loading station 12 in the first direction.

Of course, in other embodiments, the two pallets may also be moved synchronously and in the same direction. The carrier module 210 may be offset from the tray of the loading station 12 in the first direction only when the pallet is ensured to move to the avoidance position, and the moving manner of the pallet is not specifically limited herein. Or in another embodiment, the carrying unit 211 may be a pallet.

Further, the avoidance driver 213 includes two cylinders. Each cylinder is in transmission connection with a corresponding supporting plate.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in one embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a transfer assembly 300. The transfer assembly 300 has a take out module 310 that is reciprocally movable between a transfer station 13 and a blanking station 14. The take out module 310 is capable of grabbing or releasing a tray.

When the material taking module 310 moves to the transferring station 13, the material taking module 310 can grasp the tray moving to the transferring station 13, that is, the carrying unit 211 drives the tray moving to the transferring station 13. When the take out module 310 moves to the blanking station 14, the take out module 310 can release the tray to blanking the tray.

It will be appreciated that after the carrying unit 211 drives the tray to the transferring station 13, the product on the tray is removed by a manipulator or the like. The take out module 310 then grabs the empty tray from the transfer station 13 and then moves to the blanking station 14, releasing the empty tray to blank the empty tray.

In one embodiment, the transport assembly 300 further includes a transport rack 320 and a transport drive 330. The transfer rack 320 is provided to the frame 11. The transferring driving piece 330 and the material taking module 310 are both arranged on the transferring frame 320, and the transferring driving piece 330 is in transmission connection with the material taking module 310 so as to drive the material taking module 310 to reciprocate between the transferring station 13 and the discharging station 14.

Optionally, the transfer driving element 330 includes a motor, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is rotatably arranged on the transport frame 320 through a driving wheel and a driven wheel, and the motor is arranged on the transport frame 320 and is rotationally connected with the driving wheel. The material taking module 310 is fixedly connected with the synchronous belt so as to reciprocate along the transferring station 13 and the discharging station 14 in the process of rotating the synchronous belt.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the transferring station 13 and the blanking station 14 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, that is, the material taking module 310 is driven by the transferring driving member 330 to move along the second direction.

Referring to fig. 7, in one embodiment, the material taking module 310 includes a connecting frame 311, a material taking driving member 312, and a grabbing unit 313. The connecting frame 311 is reciprocally disposed on the transferring frame 320 along the second direction and is connected to the transferring driving member 330, so as to reciprocally move between the transferring station 13 and the blanking station 14 under the action of the transferring driving member 330. The material taking driving member 312 is disposed on the connecting frame 311 and is in transmission connection with the grabbing unit 313 to drive the grabbing unit 313 to move along the first direction. The gripping unit 313 is used to grip or release the tray.

It will be appreciated that when the link 311 is positioned at the transfer station 13, the take-out drive 312 drives the grasping unit 313 to reciprocate in a first direction such that the grasping unit 313 approaches and grasps the tray of the transfer station 13.

Optionally, the take-off drive 312 is a cylinder.

In one embodiment, the gripping unit 313 includes a movable plate 314, a gripping driving member 315, and a gripping member 316. The movable plate 314 is movably connected to the connection frame 311 in a first direction by a guide rod.

The grabbing driving member 315 is disposed on the movable plate 314 and is in transmission connection with the grabbing member 316, so as to drive the grabbing member 316 to grab or release the tray.

Optionally, the gripping driving member 315 is a gripping jaw cylinder, and the gripping member 316 is a gripping jaw. Of course, in other embodiments, the gripping unit 313 may also grip the tray by suction under negative pressure.

Referring to fig. 1 and 8, in one embodiment, the feeding mechanism further includes a first positioning component 400. The first positioning component 400 is disposed on the frame 11 and is disposed corresponding to the transferring station 13. The first positioning module 400 can abut against the carrier module 210 moving to the transfer station 13 to position the carrier module 210 at the transfer station 13. In this way, the height of the carrying module 210 rising to the transferring station 13 each time is consistent, so that the subsequent manipulator can conveniently take away the product in the tray and the material taking module 310 can conveniently grasp the empty tray.

Further, the first positioning assembly 400 includes a support column 410 and a limiting member 420. The support column 410 is mounted on the frame 11, the limiting member 420 is disposed on the support column 410, and the limiting member 420 is used for abutting against the carrier module 210 to position the carrier module 210 at the transfer station 13.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the feeding mechanism includes multiple groups of first positioning assemblies 400, and the limiting members 420 in each of the multiple groups of first positioning assemblies 400 are used for abutting against the supporting plate.

In one embodiment, the loading mechanism further comprises a first securing assembly 500. The first fixing assembly 500 is disposed on the frame 11 and corresponds to the transferring station 13. The first fixing assembly 500 is used to grasp and fix the trays of the transfer station 13.

In this way, after the carrying unit 211 drives the tray to the transferring station 13, the first fixing assembly 500 grabs and fixes the tray. The robot then removes the product from the tray. At the same time, the carrier module 210 moves downward to the loading station 12. After the product is taken out, the material taking module 310 grabs an empty tray on the first fixing assembly 500.

Further, the first fixing assembly 500 includes two supporting frames 510, two fixing driving members 520 and two fixing members 530. The two supporting frames 510 are arranged on the frame 11 at intervals along the second direction, and the two fixed driving members 520, the two fixing members 530 and the two supporting frames 510 are in one-to-one correspondence. The two fixing driving members 520 are used for driving the two fixing members 530 to approach or separate from each other, so that the tray of the transfer station 13 is grabbed and fixed during the process of approaching the two fixing members 530 to each other.

In one embodiment, the fixing member 530 includes a clamping portion 531 and a supporting portion 532 integrally provided. In the process that the two fixing members 530 approach each other, the supporting portion 532 can support the tray, and the clamping portion 531 can clamp the tray. It can be seen that after the material taking module 310 grabs the tray, the two fixing members 530 are far away from each other. The holding portion 531 is separated from the tray, but the tray can still be supported by the supporting portion 532, so as to further avoid the tray from falling.

In particular, in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the bearing portion 532 has a bearing plane, the holding portion 531 has a holding plane, and the bearing plane and the holding plane are connected to each other and perpendicular to each other.

In one embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a blanking assembly 600. The blanking assembly 600 is disposed on the frame 11, and a feeding end of the blanking assembly 600 extends to the blanking station 14, so as to obtain a tray of the blanking station 14 and perform blanking.

The material taking module 310 moves to the blanking station 14 after the material taking disc is grasped by the transferring station 13, then the material taking module 310 releases the material disc to the blanking assembly 600, and the blanking assembly 600 performs blanking on the material disc.

It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the structure of the blanking assembly 600 is substantially the same as that of the transferring assembly 200, but the pallet in the blanking assembly 600 does not need to keep the tray away. After receiving the tray, the blanking assembly 600 conveys the tray to the loading end of the second conveying assembly 900, and when the tray is moved to be staggered with the pallet in the first direction, the pallet can return to the loading end of the blanking assembly 600 to wait for receiving the tray again. Those skilled in the art can remove components as needed to reduce equipment costs. Of course, the structure of the blanking assembly 600 may be the same as that of the transferring assembly 200 to achieve more abundant functions, which will not be described herein.

In addition, the feeding mechanism further comprises a second positioning assembly 700 and a second fixing assembly 800. The second positioning assembly 700 and the second fixing assembly 800 are both arranged on the frame 11 and correspond to the blanking station 14, and the second positioning assembly 700 positions the supporting plate in the blanking assembly 600 to ensure that the heights of the supporting plate in the blanking assembly 600 are consistent when the supporting plate rises to the blanking station 14. The second fixing assembly 800 is used for fixing the tray of the material taking module 310 to the material discharging station 14, and then the material tray on the second fixing assembly 800 is discharged by the material discharging assembly 600.

It is understood that the second positioning assembly 700 has the same structure as the first positioning assembly 400, and the second fixing assembly 800 has the same structure as the first fixing assembly 500.

In one embodiment, the loading mechanism further comprises a second conveying assembly 900. The second conveying assembly 900 is disposed on the frame 11, and the feeding end of the second conveying assembly 900 extends to the discharging end of the discharging assembly 600, so as to obtain a tray on the discharging assembly 600 and convey the tray to the discharging position.

It should be noted that, the structure of the second conveying assembly 900 is the same as that of the first conveying assembly 100, and the second conveying assembly 900 is disposed parallel to the first conveying assembly 100, and the structure of the second conveying assembly 900 is not described herein.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical scheme of the present application, a description is given herein of the working process of the feeding mechanism in the above embodiment:

The first conveyor assembly 100 conveys trays carrying products to the loading station 12. The carrier module 210 is now located above the tray of the loading station 12. Next, the avoidance driving member 213 acts to drive the two pallets away from each other, so that the carrying unit 211 moves to the avoidance position. Then, the lifting module 220 drives the carrying module 210 to descend to the loading station 12, and then the avoidance driving piece 213 drives the two supporting plates to approach each other, so that the carrying unit 211 moves to the carrying position.

Next, the lifting module 220 drives the bearing module 210 to lift, the pallet bears the tray and drives the tray to lift until the pallet abuts against the first positioning module 400, so as to drive the tray to the transferring station 13. The two fixtures 530 are then brought closer together to clamp the holding tray. After the material tray is fixed, the product on the material tray is taken down by the mechanical arm.

Next, the material taking module 310 located at the transferring station 13 acts, that is, the material taking driving member 312 drives the movable plate 314 to approach the tray, and the grabbing driving member 315 drives the grabbing member 316 to grab the tray. The transfer drive 330 then drives the take out module 310 to move to the blanking station 14, releasing the tray to the loading end of the blanking assembly 600.
