Continuous feeder

Abstract

The present invention is a continuous feeder which, through a power source, can continuously drive a fixing clip to move back and forth equidistantly and also a mobile clip at the top of the fixing clip, so that when the fixing clip arrives the return point, the material can be downwardly clipped or upwardly released for achieving a continuous feeding. The present invention not only can precisely adjust the moving distance of material in processing for continuously and accurately driving the material to the operation tool, but also can change the driving method for the material to be pull or push in response to the hardness degree of the material.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is related to a continuous feeder, and more particularly to a continuous feeder which can precisely drive the material to move to the operation tool for processing.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Currently, the conventional feeders have two problems urgently to be solved: one is that the movement of the material to be processed can not be driven precisely so that the problem of accumulated tolerance is always existed, and the other is the method for feeding the material can not be switched to be pull or push according to the property, such as soft or hard, of the material.[0003]First, relating to the problem of accumulated tolerance, the reason is that, currently, no matter the feeding material is pushed or pulled, the turning motive force is always employed. For the pulling method, a rolling at the end is employed which may change the rolling speed cooperating with the variable factors (such as the rolled thickness generated from r...

Benefits of technology

[0006]The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems described above. According to the present invention, not only the moving distance of material in processing can be precisely adjusted for continuously and accurately driving the material to the operation tool, but the method for driving the material also can be selected to be pull or push in response to the hardness degree of material.

[0007]According to the object described above, the present invention provides a continuous feeder used to precisely drive a material to an operation tool for processing includes a base having a push-forward rejecting element and a push-backward rejecting element; a moving unit having a fixing clip, which is driven by a motor to move back and forth on the base; an operation unit having a mobile clip, which is fixed overhead the fixing clip for downwardly clipping or upwardly releasing the material; and a brake unit having a wrench element, which is collided by the push-forward rejecting element and the push-backward rejecting element so as to generate a connecting rod operation for pressing the operation unit to move upwardly and downwardly, wherein through the motor continuously driving the fixing clip to move back and forth equidistantly and driving the mobile clip at the top of the fixing clip, the material can be downwardly clipped or upwardly released when the fixing clip arrives the return point, so as to achieve a continuous feeding.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, the conventional feeders have two problems urgently to be solved: one is that the movement of the material to be processed can not be driven precisely so that the problem of accumulated tolerance is always existed, and the other is the method for feeding the material can not be switched to be pull or push according to the property, such as soft or hard, of the material.

Therefore, since the soft material is continuously rolled up, if each second has an error of 0.1 mm, an error of 6 cm will be produced after 1 minute of rolling-up.

However, when the rolling shaft drives the material, an error of 5 cm will be produced after moving the material for 5 m if each turn of the rolling shaft has an error of 0.1 mm.

Consequently, it is obvious that the conventional feeder has the problem of accumulated tolerance which is vary serious for the manufacturing industry.

The other problem which needs to be solved is that the conventional feeder can not change the feeding method to be pull or push according to the hardness of material.

On the contrary, because the hard material can not be rolled up, it has to be pushed to the area of operation tool, and then, a falling caused by the gravity itself is employed to collect the material.

Therefore, the manufacturer can not use the feeder for the soft material to deal the hard material and vice versa, so that the purchase cost is significantly increased.
