Circulating feeder

Abstract

A circulating feeder comprises a stereoscopic storage area, a temporary storage area, a waiting area, a fixed arm and a movable arm. During working, the movable arm moves to one side of the storage area, material discs are pulled out from corresponding storage layers in the storage area to the movable arm, then the movable arm moves to one side of the temporary storage area, the material discs areconveyed from the movable arm into the temporary storage area, automatically move from the temporary storage area to the waiting area and then are conveyed from the waiting area to main machine working stations on the fixed arm for taking operation; and when the discs need to be replaced, the movable arm moves to the position near the fixed arm, the treated material discs are taken out from the main machine working stations and move to one side of the storage area to be conveyed into the storage area, and the action cycle is repeated. According to the circulating feeder, the material discs ofdifferent materials can be stored in the storage area, non-stop automatic switching of the various materials is achieved, through cooperative action of the movable arm and the temporary storage area,quick feeding and discharging operation is achieved, the production efficiency is improved, and through stereoscopic up-down arrangement, the occupied space of the circulating feeder is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the mechanical field, in particular to a circulating feeder, which can be applied to the electronics industry, 3C industry, food industry and automobile industry. Background technique [0002] There are mainly two types of loading and unloading trolleys on the market according to the placement of the trays: flat type and three-dimensional type. [0003] The main structure of the flat loading and unloading trolley is a tray loading position, an empty tray position, and a working position. , Discharging tray. [0004] The main structure of the three-dimensional loading and unloading car is that the material tray is pulled by a boom that can move up and down, and the material level on the material tray and the empty material tray move back and forth. When changing the material, the boom first sends the empty material tray to the Empty the tray position, then go to the tray upper tray to take the tray, and then send it to the wor...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1. When changing the tray, it is necessary to send the tray at the working position to the empty tray position first, and then take the tray from the upper tray, which takes a lot of time;

[0007] 2. Putting the plate, taking the plate intelligently goes to the top or bottom plate, and cannot be picked and placed at will, so only one material can be loaded and unloaded, and it cannot cope with automatic loading and unloading of multiple materials

Under the condition of a certain height, the number of trays carried by this kind of feeder will inevitably decrease, which will increase the number of shutdowns and refueling, and reduce production efficiency; and the feeding speed is limited by the overall running speed of the material box
