[0001] The invention relates to the field of plastic processing, and in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism and a feeding method for producing BMC composite materials. Background Art

[0002] Bulk molding compound (BMC) is an important composite material used to manufacture various components, especially in the electrical and automotive industries. In the BMC production process, the automatic feeding mechanism is a key link, which directly affects the production efficiency and quality. In the production process of BMC composite materials, the feeding and transportation of raw materials is a crucial link. Traditional feeding methods often have many disadvantages. Traditional feeding methods are difficult to achieve accurate separation of raw materials. In the production of BMC composite materials, different types of raw materials need to be stored and transported separately to avoid mixing. However, traditional feeding can only transport a single material, and it is difficult to ensure the complete separation of raw materials, resulting in raw material mixing, which in turn affects the quality and performance of the product.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic feeding mechanism and feeding method for BMC composite material production to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an automatic feeding mechanism and a feeding method for BMC composite material production.

[0005] The automatic feeding mechanism for BMC composite material production provided by the present invention comprises: a storage bucket, a conveying bucket, a support frame, an arc block, a rotating shaft, a roller, a partition and a rotating ring. A conveying bucket is arranged directly below the storage bucket, and a support frame is slidably connected to the outer side of the storage bucket. Arc blocks are symmetrically arranged between the storage bucket and the conveying bucket, and the arc blocks fit each other. The arc blocks are all slidably connected to the outer side of the support frame, and the upper surfaces of the arc blocks fit the storage bucket. Gaps matching the shapes of the arc blocks are left between the two sides of the storage bucket and the two sides of the conveying bucket. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the storage bucket, and a roller is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft, and the roller is arranged between the arc blocks on both sides of the support frame. Grooves are equidistantly provided on the outer side of the roller, and partitions are equidistantly slidably connected inside the storage bucket, and the bottom of the partition is sleeved on the outer side of the roller, and the bottom end of the partition is slidably inserted between the two corresponding symmetrically arranged groups of arc blocks.

[0006] Preferably, the partitions are rotatably connected to rotating rings, and the rotating rings are slidably connected to the outside of the rollers. The inner walls of the rotating rings are equidistantly fixedly connected to closing blocks, and the closing blocks are respectively embedded in corresponding grooves.

[0007] Preferably, first springs are symmetrically sleeved on the outer sides of both ends of the support frame, and two groups of arc blocks symmetrically arranged on the outermost sides of the support frame are elastically connected to the support frame through corresponding first springs.

[0008] Preferably, adjustment frames are symmetrically and slidably inserted on both sides of the storage bucket, and the adjustment frames are fixedly connected to the corresponding partitions.

[0009] Preferably, both sides of the storage bucket are fixedly connected with a receiving plate, the inside of the receiving plate is symmetrically slidably connected with a slide rod, the top end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the support frame, the outside of the slide rod is sleeved with a second spring, and the support frame is elastically connected to the receiving plate through the second spring.

[0010] Preferably, a pulling handle is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the conveying bucket.

[0011] Preferably, chamfers are provided on both sides of the bottom of the partition.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the storage bucket is rotatably connected to a top cover via a hinge.

[0013] The present invention also provides a feeding method of an automatic feeding mechanism for producing BMC composite materials, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0014] S1. Put the raw materials into the storage hopper according to their types and separate them into different areas using partitions to ensure that the raw materials are not mixed;

[0015] S2, drive the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft drives the roller to rotate, the groove of the roller cooperates with the rotating ring and the closing block at the bottom of the partition to ensure the separation of the raw materials during the transportation process;

[0016] S3. When the roller rotates, its groove is aligned with the opening of the storage hopper, and the raw materials enter the groove from the opening and are transported to the bottom. The partition ensures that different raw materials are kept separated during transportation;

[0017] S4. If the spacing between the partitions needs to be adjusted, pull the handle at the bottom of the conveying bucket to lower the support frame, and the arc block is separated from the storage bucket and the roller;

[0018] S5. Drag the partition to adjust the internal space of the storage bucket. After completion, release the pull handle, the support frame and the arc block are reset, and the partition is reinserted into the corresponding position;

[0020] Compared with the related art, the automatic feeding mechanism and feeding method for BMC composite material production provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The automatic feeding mechanism realizes the effective separation and storage of raw materials through the coordinated use of storage hoppers and partitions. The partitions can be flexibly adjusted according to the types of different raw materials or production requirements to ensure that different raw materials will not be mixed during the transportation process, thereby ensuring the purity of the raw materials and the quality of the products;

[0022] Secondly, the mechanism adopts automatic conveying mode. Through the rotation of the rotating roller and the cooperation of the groove with the rotating ring and the closing block, the automatic loading and conveying of raw materials are realized, which greatly improves the production efficiency, reduces the tediousness and errors of manual operation, and reduces the labor intensity;

[0023] In addition, the mechanism is also designed with components such as support frames, arc blocks and pulling handles to facilitate the operator to adjust the position of the partition. By pulling the pulling handle, the lifting and lowering of the support frame and the arc block can be easily controlled to adjust the position of the partition in the storage bucket. This design makes the adjustment process simpler and faster, and improves the flexibility and convenience of operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 6 An automatic feeding mechanism for BMC composite material production, the automatic feeding mechanism for BMC composite material production comprising: a storage bucket 1, a conveying bucket 2, a support frame 3, an arc block 4, a rotating shaft 5, a roller 6, a partition 7 and a rotating ring 8, a conveying bucket 2 is arranged directly below the storage bucket 1, a support frame 3 is slidably connected to the outer side of the storage bucket 1, arc blocks 4 are symmetrically arranged between the storage bucket 1 and the conveying bucket 2, and the arc blocks 4 are mutually fitted, and the arc blocks 4 are all slidably connected to the outer side of the support frame 3, and the upper surface of the arc blocks 4 They are all fitted with the storage bucket 1, and gaps matching the shape of the arc block 4 are left between the two sides of the storage bucket 1 and the two sides of the conveying bucket 2. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the storage bucket 1, and a roller 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 5, and the roller 6 is arranged between the arc blocks 4 on both sides of the inside of the support frame 3, and grooves 9 are equidistantly opened on the outside of the roller 6. Partitions 7 are equidistantly slidably connected inside the storage bucket 1, and the bottom of the partition 7 is sleeved on the outside of the roller 6, and the bottom of the partition 7 is slidably inserted between the corresponding two groups of arc blocks 4 symmetrically arranged.

[0034] It should be noted that the raw materials are placed in the storage bucket 1 and divided into different areas by partitions 7. The positions of these partitions 7 can be easily adjusted inside the storage bucket 1 to meet the needs of different raw materials. When the rotating shaft 5 is driven, the rotating shaft 5 starts to rotate, thereby driving the roller 6 to rotate together. During the rotation of the roller 6, the grooves 9 on its surface will be aligned with the openings at the bottom of the storage bucket 1 in turn, thereby transporting the raw materials from the storage bucket 1 to the bottom. Since the lower part of the partition 7 extends to the bottom of the roller 6, the roller 6 is also divided into multiple areas, each area corresponding to a separation space in the storage bucket 1, thus ensuring the separation of different raw materials during the transportation process.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the interior of the partition 7 is rotatably connected with a rotating ring 8, and the rotating ring 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the roller 6, and the inner wall of the rotating ring 8 is equidistantly fixedly connected with a closing block 10, and the closing block 10 is respectively embedded in the corresponding groove 9;

[0036] It should be noted that the groove 9 on the outer side of the roller 6 cooperates with the rotating ring 8 and the closing block 10 at the bottom of the partition 7. In this process, the closing block 10 fits in the groove 9 to ensure that the area on the roller 6 is also effectively separated to prevent the raw materials from mixing.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 6 , first springs 11 are symmetrically sleeved on the outer sides of both ends of the support frame 3, and the two groups of arc blocks 4 symmetrically arranged on the outermost sides of the support frame 3 are elastically connected to the support frame 3 through the corresponding first springs 11;

[0038] It should be noted that: under the elastic force of the first spring 11, the arc blocks 4 will fit together to close the gap left after the partition 7 is pulled out;

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the storage bucket 1 has an adjustment frame 12 symmetrically slidably inserted on both sides, and the adjustment frame 12 is fixedly connected to the corresponding partition 7;

[0040] It should be noted that: by adjusting the sliding distance of the adjustment frame 12, the position of the partition 7 can be flexibly adjusted;

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 6 , both sides of the storage bucket 1 are fixedly connected with a receiving plate 13, the inside of the receiving plate 13 is symmetrically slidably connected with a slide rod 14, the top of the slide rod 14 is fixedly connected with the support frame 3, the outside of the slide rod 14 is sleeved with a second spring 15, and the support frame 3 is elastically connected to the receiving plate 13 through the second spring 15;

[0042] It should be noted that the descent of the support frame 3 will cause the arc block 4 to separate from the storage bucket 1 and the roller 6, and the support frame 3 and the receiving plate 13 bracket will be close to each other, squeezing the second spring 15 to deform;

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 6 A pulling handle 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the conveying bucket 2;

[0044] It should be noted that: by pulling the handle 16, the operator can conveniently operate the conveying bucket 2;

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 6 , chamfers 17 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the partition 7;

[0046] It should be noted that the chamfer 17 allows the partition 7 to slide into the corresponding position more smoothly when reinserted between the arc-shaped blocks 4, thereby reducing the operational inconvenience caused by friction or jamming.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 6 The top of the storage bucket 1 is rotatably connected with a top cover 18 through a hinge;

[0048] It should be noted that the provision of the top cover 18 can effectively protect the raw materials in the storage bucket 1 and prevent them from being contaminated or damaged by the outside world.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the present invention also provides a feeding method of an automatic feeding mechanism for producing BMC composite materials, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0050] S1, put the raw materials into the storage bucket 1 according to their types, and use the partition 7 to separate them into different areas to ensure that the raw materials are not mixed;

[0051] S2, drive the rotating shaft 5, the rotating shaft 5 drives the rotating roller 6 to rotate, the groove 9 of the rotating roller 6 cooperates with the rotating ring 8 and the closing block 10 at the bottom of the partition 7 to ensure that the raw materials are separated during the transportation process;

[0052] S3, when the roller 6 rotates, its groove 9 is aligned with the opening of the storage bucket 1, and the raw materials enter the groove 9 from the opening and are transported to the bottom. The partition 7 ensures that different raw materials are kept separated during transportation;

[0053] S4. If the spacing between the partitions 7 needs to be adjusted, pull the pull handle 16 at the bottom of the conveying bucket 2 to lower the support frame 3, and separate the arc block 4 from the storage bucket 1 and the roller 6;

[0054] S5, drag the partition 7 to adjust the internal space of the storage bucket 1, and release the pull handle 16 after completion, the support frame 3 and the arc block 4 are reset, and the partition 7 is reinserted into the corresponding position;

[0055] S6. Continue the above steps to realize automatic and separate loading of raw materials to meet production needs.

[0056] The working principle of the automatic feeding mechanism and feeding method for BMC composite material production provided by the present invention is as follows: first, the raw materials are put into the storage bucket 1 and divided into different areas by the partitions 7. The positions of these partitions 7 inside the storage bucket 1 can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of different raw materials;

[0057] When the rotating shaft 5 is driven, the rotating shaft 5 starts to rotate, thereby driving the roller 6 to rotate together. The groove 9 on the outer side of the roller 6 cooperates with the rotating ring 8 and the closing block 10 at the bottom of the partition 7. In this process, the closing block 10 fits in the groove 9 to ensure that the area on the roller 6 is also effectively separated to prevent the raw materials from mixing. During the rotation of the roller 6, the groove 9 on its surface will be aligned with the opening at the bottom of the storage bucket 1 in turn, so that the raw materials are transported from the storage bucket 1 to the bottom. Since the lower part of the partition 7 extends to the bottom of the roller 6, the roller 6 is also divided into multiple areas, each area corresponds to a separation space in the storage bucket 1, thus ensuring the separation of different raw materials during the transportation process;

[0058] When the spacing between the partitions 7 needs to be adjusted, the operator can pull the pull handle 16 at the bottom of the conveying bucket 2 to lower the support frame 3. The lowering of the support frame 3 will cause the arc block 4 to separate from the storage bucket 1 and the roller 6. At the same time, under the elastic force of the first spring 11, the arc blocks 4 will fit together to close the gap reserved after the partition 7 is pulled out. At this time, the operator can easily drag the partition 7 to move and adjust the partition space inside the storage bucket 1.

[0059] After the adjustment is completed, the support frame 3 will slide up and reset using the elastic force of the second spring 15, driving the arc block 4 to rise again. Under the guidance of the chamfer 17 at the bottom of the partition 7, the partition 7 will be reinserted between the corresponding arc blocks 4, dividing the unloading area into multiple spaces again.

[0060] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
