Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tungsten alloy rod processing feeding components, and more specifically, to a feeding structure for tungsten alloy rod processing. Background Technology
[0002] Tungsten rods, also known as tungsten alloy rods, are made from metal powder smelted at specific high temperatures using specialized high-temperature powder metallurgy technology. This results in tungsten alloy rods having a low coefficient of thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity, and excellent material properties. At high temperatures, tungsten alloy rods, as materials with a high melting point and low coefficient of thermal expansion, benefit from the addition of tungsten alloying elements, which improves machinability, toughness, and weldability. These material properties allow tungsten alloy rods to eliminate the heat treatment issues associated with other tool materials in the manufacturing industry.
[0003] Tungsten alloy rods are typically manufactured through sintering and pressing. After the rods are formed, they are fed into cutting equipment to cut them into sections. If further processing is required, the rods must undergo visual inspection to ensure a high yield rate. Current inspection methods involve workers holding the rods and visually inspecting their surface for mechanical damage. However, this process requires frequent handling and repeated inspections, leading to a heavy workload, low efficiency, and increased manufacturing costs for the company.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a feeding structure for tungsten alloy rod processing to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A feeding structure for processing tungsten alloy rods includes a workbench 1, a storage assembly 2 connected to the workbench 1, a tungsten alloy rod placed in the storage assembly 2, and the storage assembly 2 including multiple support columns 22 fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The upper ends of the multiple support columns 22 are fixedly connected to the same storage box 21. A guide platform 23 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the storage box 21. Multiple sets of partitions 24 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 21, and one end of each set of partitions 24 is connected to the guide platform 23. Multiple discharge ports 25 are provided on the side wall of the storage box 21. The multiple discharge ports 25 are respectively located at the output end of the guide platform 23. A guide plate 26 is fixedly connected to the side wall of each of the multiple discharge ports 25.
[0030] In actual operation, the workbench 1 can be equipped with a display screen and a mouse. Of particular note is that the first camera 45 and the second camera 73 can transmit images of the tungsten alloy rod to the display screen, and the inspector can directly view the images on the display screen. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 72 can be activated by the mouse, so that the tungsten alloy rod can enter the appropriate receiving box. Also noteworthy is that the guide plate 23 is trapezoidal in shape, so that the tungsten alloy rod can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 25. Also noteworthy is that the guide plate 26 is located in the discharge port 25, and the guide plate 26 has the purpose of intercepting the tungsten alloy rod, so that it can be used in conjunction with the baffle plate 34.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Multiple first blocking components 3 are connected to the material storage component 2. The output ends of the multiple first blocking components 3 are respectively located on one side of the output end of the material storage component 2. The first blocking component 3 includes a connecting plate 31 fixedly connected to the side wall of the material storage box 21. A first electric telescopic rod 32 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 31. A connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first electric telescopic rod 32. A baffle plate 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 33. A guide port 35 is provided on the side wall of the baffle plate 34. A partition plate 36 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle plate 34, and one end of the partition plate 36 extends into the discharge port 25.
[0032] In actual operation, when the first electric telescopic rod 32 is activated, the baffle plate 34 moves upward accordingly. It is particularly noteworthy that the baffle plate 34 is L-shaped, with one extended end positioned in the discharge port 25, and the guide port 35 located on the side wall of the baffle plate 34. When the baffle plate 34 moves upward, the guide port 35 moves upward as well, further causing the partition plate 36 to move upward. It is also noteworthy that the partition plate 36 has an inclined upper end, allowing it to better insert between two tungsten alloy rods. When the partition plate 36 is inserted between the two tungsten alloy rods, the guide port 35 is positioned on the side of the other tungsten alloy rod, allowing the tungsten alloy rod to be discharged precisely. Furthermore, as the partition plate 36 is inserted, it blocks the tungsten alloy rods near the inner area, allowing them to be discharged one by one, facilitating subsequent inspection by the staff.
[0033] Reference Figure 5Multiple material guiding components 4 are connected to the material storage component 2. The input end of the multiple material guiding components 4 is located on one side of the output end of the material storage component 2. The material guiding component 4 includes a first vertical plate 41 fixedly connected to the lower end face of the material storage box 21. An inclined member 42 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first vertical plate 41. Two second vertical plates 43 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the inclined member 42. The same top plate 44 is fixedly connected to the two second vertical plates 43. Multiple first cameras 45 are provided on the top plate 44. Side openings 46 are provided on the side walls of the two second vertical plates 43. The output end of the material storage box 21 is located between the top plate 44 and the first vertical plate 41.
[0034] Reference Figure 6 The inclined member 42 includes a base plate 421, a rubber friction pad 422 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the base plate 421, and a plush pad 423 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the rubber friction pad 422.
[0035] In practice, when the tungsten alloy rod falls onto the inclined part 42, the rubber friction pad 422 can protect the tungsten alloy rod, while the plush pad 423 and the rubber friction pad 422 can slow down the tungsten alloy rod, so that the first camera 45 can capture a more detailed picture. This makes it easier for the inspectors to see the condition of the tungsten alloy rod, further facilitating the inspectors' work and indirectly improving the practicality of the device.
[0036] Reference Figure 7 Each of the multiple material guiding components 4 is connected to a second blocking component 5, and the second blocking component 5 is used to buffer the impact force of the tungsten alloy rod. The second blocking component 5 includes a baffle plate 51 fixedly connected to the inclined member 42. Multiple telescopic rods 52 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle plate 51. A spring 53 is sleeved on each of the multiple telescopic rods 52. One end of the multiple telescopic rods 52 is fixedly connected to the same rubber plate 54. A silicone plate 55 is fixed on the side wall of the rubber plate 54. The rubber plate 54 is located between two side openings 46.
[0037] In practice, when the tungsten alloy rod moves downward along the direction of the inclined member 42, it will collide with the silicone plate 55. With the assistance of the telescopic rod 52 and the spring 53, the tungsten alloy rod can be further buffered, allowing it to stabilize quickly and preventing damage to its surface, thus indirectly improving the practicality of the device.
[0038] Reference Figure 8Each of the multiple material guiding components 4 is connected to two conveying components 6. The conveying component 6 includes a discharge box 61 fixedly connected to the side wall of the second vertical plate 43. The side of the discharge box 61 is provided with a notch, and the notch is located on one side of the side opening 46. The bottom of the discharge box 61 is provided with a discharge port 62. A collection box 63 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the discharge port 62. The side wall of the discharge box 61 is provided with a circular through hole 64. A collection frame is provided below the output end of each of the two collection boxes 63. One collection frame stores good tungsten alloy rods, while the other collection frame stores inferior tungsten alloy rods.
[0039] Reference Figure 9 Multiple conveying components 6 are each connected to a pushing component 7 extending into the guiding component 4. The pushing component 7 includes a connecting rod 71 fixedly connected to the side wall of the discharge box 61. One end of the connecting rod 71 is fixedly connected to a second electric telescopic rod 72. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 72 is fixedly connected to a second camera 73. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 72 is fixedly connected to a connecting ring 74. Multiple buffer rods 75 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting ring 74. One end of the multiple buffer rods 75 is fixedly connected to the same buffer ring 76. One end of the multiple buffer rods 75 extends into the circular through hole 64.
[0040] In actual operation, with the assistance of the first camera 45 and the second camera 73, staff can easily inspect the surface of the tungsten alloy rod. When a defective product is found, staff can activate one of the second electric telescopic rods 72 via the controller, which moves the buffer ring 76. Notably, the second camera 73 is protected by the connecting ring 74, the buffer rod 75, and the buffer ring 76. The buffer rod 75 is made of hard plastic, while the buffer ring 76 is made of soft plastic, thus preventing further damage to the tungsten alloy rod. When the second electric telescopic rod 72 is working, the material can enter the discharge box 61, and then the material will enter the collection box 63 and the collection frame below from the discharge port 62, thus completing the inspection and classification of the material, further facilitating the staff's work and indirectly improving the staff's work efficiency.
