Process. As a conventional dispenser, a semi-finished product is conveyed by a conveyor belt, and the end of the conveyor belt forms a two-component belt which, together with the conveyor belt, forms a gamma-shaped structure. When dispensing, the operator stands near the end of the conveyor belt and manually places the semi-finished product delivered to the end of the conveyor belt on the two-component belt to achieve material diversion. However, the conventional manual dispensing method is easy to cause operator fatigue, error, and low work efficiency and high cost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION © In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide an automatic feeder capable of realizing automatic material splitting. An automatic feeder comprising at least one dispensing device and a control system, the at least one dispensing device comprising at least two dispensing strips, the control system comprising a controller and an actuating device, the controller controlling the actuating device pair to transmit to the at least one The material of the materializing device applies a force, and the materials are respectively placed on at least two of the at least one material distributing device to realize material shunting. The automatic feeder fully realizes material diversion by means of automatic control, which is high in efficiency, error-prone and can save labor costs. 200934614 [Embodiment] The automatic dispenser of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings. Referring to Fig. 1, an automatic feeder 100 of a preferred embodiment 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a dispensing device 12. The conveyor belt 11 is a long strip of belt which conveys the semifinished product at a certain speed. The dispensing device 12 is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 11 by means of screw locking, which comprises two dividing strips 121, 122, a substantially 90 degree angle between the two dividing strips ^121, 122, and two dividing strips 121, 122 and The conveyor belt 11 forms a Y-shaped structure together. The edges of the strips 121, 122 are provided with baffles 123 perpendicular to the strips 121, 122 to prevent material from falling during the dispensing process. Further, the automatic feeder 100 further includes a control system including an inductor 13, a controller (not shown), two solenoid valves (not shown), and two nozzles 14, 15. The inductor 13 is mounted in the middle of one end of the dispensing device 12 and the conveyor belt 11 for sensing the material conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt 11 and delivering the sensing signal to the controller. The two nozzles 14, 15 are respectively disposed on both sides of one end of the branching device 12 and the conveyor belt 11. When the controller receives the signal sent by the sensor 13, the two solenoid valves are alternately controlled to open, and the two nozzles 14, 15 alternately perform the jetting, and the compressed air that is sprayed acts on the material, and pushes the materials to the two-component strip 121 respectively. , 122. More preferably, the sensor 13 is a photoelectric sensor and the controller is a PLC controller. Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 together, when the semi-finished product P1 is transported to the end of the conveyor belt 11, the photoelectric sensor 13 senses the semi-finished product P1, and the photoelectric switch outputs the letter 200934614 to the input interface X0 of the PLC controller, and the PLC controller pre- After the program's operation, the signal is output from the output interface Y0. The signal controls the solenoid valve EVi#T to open for 3 seconds, the gas nozzle 14 is correspondingly jetted for 3 seconds, the compressed air is discharged as the semi-finished product P1, and the semi-finished product P1 is used. It is pushed onto the distribution belt 121 which is located on the same straight green i as the gas nozzle 14. When the semi-finished product P2 is transported to the end of the conveyor belt 11, the photoelectric sensor 13 should go to the semi-finished product P2, and the photoelectric switch outputs the signal to the wheel of the PLC controller. The φ interface X0' PLC controller is operated from the output interface bamboo wheel by the preset program operation. The signal 'this signal controls the solenoid valve EV2 to open for 3 seconds, the nozzle 15 is correspondingly jetted for 3 seconds, the compressed air is sprayed on the semi-finished product p2, and the semi-finished product P2 is pushed to the distribution belt on the same line as the nozzle 15. 122. By repeating this control process, the material can be automatically shunted. It can be understood that, depending on the configuration of the production line, the two parts T121 and 122 of the materializing device 12 can have different angles, for example, the two-division belts κι and 122 can be 180 degrees out of angle, that is, the two-component strips 121 and 122 are set. On the same line - straight line, moving back to each other. The jetting time of the gas nozzles 14, 15 can be arbitrarily set according to actual conditions. Referring to FIG. 5, the automatic feeder 2 of the preferred embodiment 2 is similar to the automatic feeder 1 of the preferred embodiment, except that the two nozzles 14 and 15 are electrically expanded and contracted. The rods 24, 25 are replaced by 'two solenoid valves omitted. The two electric telescopic rods 24, 25 are respectively disposed on both sides of one end of the connection between the dispensing device 22 and the conveyor belt 21. The control principle of the automatic feeder 200 is basically the same as that of the automatic feeder i〇Q. When the semi-finished product P1 is transported to the end of the conveyor belt 21, the photoelectric 200934614 sensor 23 senses the semi-finished product PI, and the photoelectric switch outputs the signal to the input interface XO of the pLc controller, and the PLC controller outputs the signal from the output interface Y0 by the preset program operation. The signal controls the electric telescopic rod 24 to extend toward the movement direction of the materializing belt 221, and pushes the semi-finished product P1 onto the materializing belt 221, and then the electric telescopic rod 24 is contracted back to the initial position; 2 When the transmission is sent to the end of ττ 21, the photoelectric sensor 23 senses the semi-finished product p2, and the photoelectric switch outputs the nickname to the input interface of the PLC controller. The pLC controller outputs the signal from the output interface Y1 by the pre-program operation. The signal controls the electric telescopic rod 25 to extend toward the direction of movement of the dispensing belt 222, and will the semi-finished product? 2 is pushed onto the dispensing belt 222, and then the electric telescopic rod 25 is retracted back to the initial position. By repeating this control process, the material can be automatically shunted. Referring to Figure 6, the automatic dispenser 3 of the preferred embodiment 3 is similar to the automatic dispenser 1 of the preferred embodiment, except that the automatic feeder 300 includes a first score. Feed device 32 and two second dosing device %. The first dispensing device 32 includes two dispensing strips 321, 322, and two second dispensing devices % 〇 are attached to the ends of the two dispensing strips 321, 322, respectively. The second dispensing device 35 is identical in construction to the first dispensing device 32 and also includes two dispensing strips 351, 352. The second dispensing device 35 is also provided with a control system including an inductor 331, a controller (not shown), two solenoid valves (not shown), and two nozzles 332, 333. The inductor 33 is disposed at a middle of one end of the second dispensing device % and the materials T321 and 322. The gas nozzles 332 and 3% are respectively disposed on the second material distributing device 35 and connected to the materializing belts 321 and 322. On either side of one end. When the semi-finished products are respectively transferred to the ends of the separation belts 321, 322, they are fed-timed. The control principle of the secondary material is controlled by the automatic feeder. The principle of the system is exactly the same. The multi-way shunting of the material can be realized by using the automatic reclaimer of the third embodiment. It can be understood that the dispensing device 12, 22, the first dispensing device 32, the second dispensing device 35 and the conveying nozzle _, 21, 31 or the distribution belt 321 , the nozzles on both sides of the end of the connection are arranged or The electric telescopic rod can also be replaced by its device such as a robot. When the controller receives the sensor delivery, the control robot and the like actuate the force on the material, and the _ ❹ is placed on the two-component strip to realize material shunting. It will be understood that the 'dispensing devices 12, 22, the first dispensing device % and the second dispensing device 35 may each comprise more than two dosing strips. If the dispensing device includes three strips, the nozzle 14 of the nozzle 14 or the nozzle can be controlled to rotate-angle after the jet has passed, toward the third strip. When the controller receives the signal of the money stealing, the solenoid valve is opened, and the gas nozzle 14 or the gas nozzle 15 is sprayed to push the half nozzle into the third strip. The nozzle U bite nozzle 15 is then rotated back to the initial position. In this way, multi-way shunting of materials can be achieved by controlling the rotation of the actuating device - the fixed angle. In addition, when the materials are conveyed at a constant speed on the conveyor belts 11, 21 and the distribution belts 321, 322, the dispensing devices 12, 22, the first-separating split 32 and the second-distributing skirt 35 are matched. The controller can be omitted in the control system. For example, every 10 seconds, half of the finished product _P2 is transported to the conveyor belt ^2: 5 controller controls the air nozzle 14 and the air nozzle 15 to rotate the spray every 10 seconds, the invention has indeed met the invention patent requirements,提出 Submit a patent application in accordance with the law.
