In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances. Example

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a linear vector vibrating feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an internal vibrating body 20, an external vibrating body 30, an elastic member 40 for connecting the internal vibrating body 20 and the external vibrating body 30, and a first excitation mechanism and a second excitation mechanism for providing an excitation force disposed between the internal vibrating body 20 and the external vibrating body 30. The mounting surface 60 may be the ground or the like.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the external vibrator 30 is a structure composed of an external elastic member mounting portion 31 and an external excitation mechanism mounting portion 32 . The external elastic member mounting portion 31 is located at both ends of the external excitation mechanism mounting portion 32 in the width direction.

[0032] The internal vibrator 20 is a structure composed of a conveying member mounting part 21, an external elastic member mounting part 22, an external excitation mechanism mounting part 23 and a counterweight 24. The upper surface of the conveying member mounting part 21 is relatively flat and is used to mount the conveying member 10. The front and rear parts are respectively connected to an external elastic member mounting part 22, and the lower surface is connected to the external excitation mechanism mounting part 23. The lower surface of the external excitation mechanism mounting part 23 is connected to the counterweight 24. There is an opening in the middle of the external excitation mechanism mounting part 32 of the external vibrator 30. The internal vibrator 20 is located between the two external elastic member mounting parts 31 of the external vibrator 30. The external excitation mechanism mounting part 23 of the internal vibrator 20 passes through the hole in the external excitation mechanism mounting part 32 of the external vibrator 30. By replacing and adjusting the counterweight 24 in the internal vibrator 20, the center of mass of the internal vibrator 20 and the external vibrator 30 are completely overlapped, and the mass distribution of the internal vibrator 20 is concentrated near the center of mass.

[0033] The elastic member 40 is connected between the external elastic member mounting portion 22 of the internal vibration body 20 and the external elastic member mounting portion 31 of the external vibration body 30. In this embodiment, the elastic member 40 is in the form of a long straight beam, and after installation, the length direction of the elastic member 40 points to the width direction of the internal vibration body 20, so that the equivalent stiffness of each elastic member 40 in the width direction of the internal vibration body 20 is greater than the equivalent stiffness in other directions perpendicular to this direction.

[0034] In the length and height directions of the internal vibrator 20, the connection points between each elastic member 40 and the internal vibrator 20 are located at the two ends, so that the multiple elastic members 40 have sufficient force arm length in the length and height directions, which cooperates with the stiffness of the elastic member 40 in the width direction, thereby allowing the internal vibrator 20 and the external vibrator 30 to perform relative translational movement along the length and height directions, suppressing the relative rotational movement of the internal vibrator 20 and the external vibrator around any straight line parallel to the width direction, and at the same time jointly suppressing the relative translational movement of the internal vibrator 20 and the external vibrator 30 along the width direction and the relative rotational movement around any straight line perpendicular to the width direction.

[0035] Through the mass distribution of the internal vibration body 20 and the position setting of the connection point between the elastic member 40 and the internal vibration body 20, the following relationship is established: that is, the first plane passing through the center of mass of the internal vibration body 20 and perpendicular to the length direction divides the internal vibration body 20 into a front vibration part and a rear vibration part, and the product of the distance from the center of mass of the front vibration part to the first plane and the distance from the center of mass of the rear vibration part to the first plane is less than the product of the distance from the installation position of the elastic member 40 on the front vibration part to the first plane and the distance from the installation position of the elastic member 40 on the rear vibration part to the first plane.

[0036] At the same time, the second plane passing through the mass center of the internal vibrating body 20 and perpendicular to the height direction divides the internal vibrating body 20 into an upper vibrating part and a lower vibrating part, and the product of the distance from the mass center of the upper vibrating part to the second plane and the distance from the mass center of the lower vibrating part to the second plane is less than the product of the distance from the installation position of the elastic member 40 on the upper vibrating part to the second plane and the distance from the installation position of the elastic member 40 on the lower vibrating part to the second plane. In this way, the effect of the relative translation vibration natural frequency of the internal vibrating body 20 and the external vibrating body 30 in the length-height direction plane being less than the relative rotation vibration natural frequency around the mass center in the length-height direction plane can be achieved.

[0037] In addition, the frequencies of all interference modes are higher than the frequencies of the two target working modes, so that the internal vibration body (20) and the external vibration body 30 can perform relative translational motion along the length direction and the height direction, while suppressing the relative rotational motion of the internal vibration body 20 and the external vibration body 30 around any straight line parallel to the width direction, and suppressing the relative translational motion of the internal vibration body 20 and the external vibration body 30 along the width direction, and suppressing the relative rotational motion of the internal vibration body 20 and the external vibration body 30 around any straight line parallel to the length direction, and suppressing the relative rotational motion of the internal vibration body 20 and the external vibration body 30 around any straight line parallel to the height direction.

[0038] A first set of excitation mechanisms and a second set of excitation mechanisms for applying longitudinal translational motion and height translational motion to the component conveying member 10 are further provided between the internal vibrating body 20 and the external vibrating body 30 .

[0039] The first group of excitation mechanisms and the second group of excitation mechanisms output excitation forces of the same frequency, which is near the natural frequencies of the lengthwise translational mode and the heightwise translational mode (hereinafter collectively referred to as the working target mode) of the component conveying member 10 .

[0040] A first electromagnet 38 and a second electromagnet 39 are arranged on the external excitation mechanism mounting part 32 of the external vibrating body 30. The first electromagnet 38 is arranged to face the height direction and pass through the center of mass of the internal vibrating body 20, and the second electromagnet 39 is arranged to face the length direction and pass through the center of mass of the internal vibrating body 20; on the external excitation mechanism mounting part 23 of the internal vibrating body 20, at positions corresponding to the first electromagnet 38 and the second electromagnet 39, a first electromagnet armature 28 with the same direction as the first electromagnet 38 and a second electromagnet armature 29 with the same direction as the second electromagnet 39 are respectively arranged.

[0041] Among them, the first electromagnet 38 facing the vertical direction and the corresponding first electromagnet armature 28 are used as the first group of excitation mechanisms. When the first electromagnet 38 is energized, an electromagnetic attraction force periodically acts between the first electromagnet 38 and the first electromagnet armature 28. Due to the electromagnetic attraction force and the restoring force of the elastic member 40 in the vertical direction, the internal vibrating body 20 and the component conveying member 10 generate vertical translational vibration relative to the external vibrating body 30.

[0042] The second set of excitation mechanisms is formed by the second electromagnet 39 and the corresponding second electromagnet armature 29 facing the horizontal length direction. When the second electromagnet 39 is energized, an electromagnetic attraction is periodically applied between the second electromagnet 39 and the second electromagnet armature 29. The electromagnetic attraction and the restoring force of the elastic member 40 in the horizontal direction cause the internal vibrating body 20 and the component conveying member 10 to produce horizontal length direction translation vibration relative to the external vibrating body 30. The two directions act together to make the composite motion trajectory of any point on the component conveying member 10 present as an ellipse.

[0043] The resultant torque output by the first set of excitation mechanisms is zero, the resultant force is in the vertical direction and passes through the mass center of the component conveying member 10 and the internal vibrating body. The resultant torque output by the second set of excitation mechanisms is zero, the resultant force is in the longitudinal direction and passes through the mass center of the component conveying member 10.

[0044] A support body 50 for supporting the entire feeder is also provided between the mounting surface 60 and the elastic member 40. The support body 50 is made of an elastic vibration-damping material or a wear-resistant material.

[0045] Specifically, one support point is provided below each of the four elastic members 40 near the bottom, and four identical support bodies 50 are provided between the four support points and the mounting surface 60. The support point is located at a node position where the amplitude of the vibration type corresponding to the target working mode of the feeder is the smallest. By providing the support body 50, the main vibration of the feeder during operation will not be transmitted to the mounting surface 60 through the support body 50, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the mounting surface 60, and at the same time, the vibration of other modes can be absorbed by the support body 50, further improving the motion stability of the internal vibration body 20.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the support body 50 is composed of four independent components, but the support body 50 is not limited to being independent components, and may also be connected into a whole.

[0047] The support body 50 and the elastic member 40 may be directly connected or connected via an elastic vibration-damping material or a wear-resistant material.

[0048] Likewise, the support body 50 and the mounting surface 60 may be directly connected or connected via an elastic vibration-damping material or a wear-resistant material. Example

[0049] like Figures 9 to 13 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a linear vector vibrating feeder according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] The structure of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the structures of the elastic member and the support body are different.

[0051] Specifically, the elastic member 40 is a Z-shaped structure formed by bending a thin sheet, and mounting points are provided at both ends of the Z-shaped structure. The mounting point at one end is connected to the external elastic member mounting portion 22 on the internal vibrating body 20, and the mounting point at the other end is connected to the external elastic member mounting portion 31 on the external vibrating body 30. After installation, the stiffness of the Z-shaped spring sheet 40 in the length direction and the height direction is relatively small.

[0052] The bottom surface of the support body 50 is mounted on the mounting surface 60, and the top surface is a columnar structure. A support point is set on each of the two elastic members 40 near the bottom, and the two support points are connected to the columnar structure of the support body 50 through elastic vibration-damping materials. The support point is located at the node position where the amplitude of the vibration mode corresponding to the working target mode of the feeder is the smallest. Example

[0053] like Figures 14 to 20 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a linear vector vibrating feeder according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] The structure of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the structures of the elastic member 40 and the supporting body 50 are different.

[0055] The elastic member 40 is an integrated sheet structure. Specifically, a long strip of internal vibration body connection part is provided in the center of the elastic member 40, and a long strip of external vibration body connection part is provided on both sides. An elastic beam is arranged between the internal vibration body connection part and the external vibration body connection part. Each elastic beam is perpendicular to the internal vibration body connection part and the external vibration body connection part. Each elastic beam is arranged in parallel with equal intervals. The elastic beam, the internal vibration body connection part and the external vibration body connection part together constitute the elastic member 40. Support points are provided under each elastic beam, and these support points are located near the node position with the smallest amplitude of the vibration type corresponding to the working target mode of the feeder.

[0056] The two elastic members 40 are respectively located above and below the external vibrating body 30 , the internal vibrating body connecting portion of the elastic member 40 is connected to the external elastic member mounting portion 22 on the internal vibrating body 20 , and the external vibrating body connecting portion of the elastic member 40 is connected to the elastic member mounting portion 31 on the external vibrating body 30 .

[0057] The support body 50 is an integrated structure, consisting of two parallel straight beams and two inverted U-shaped structures supporting the two straight beams from below. The upper parts of the two straight beams in the support body 50 are connected to the supporting points on the two rows of elastic beams in the upper elastic member 40 through elastic vibration-damping materials. The inverted U-shaped structure in the support body 50 is connected to the mounting surface 60. Example

[0058] like Figures 21 to 27 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a linear vector vibrating feeder according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] The structure of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the structure of the elastic member 40 is different.

[0060] Specifically, Fig.26 , 27 As shown, the elastic member 40 is a structure assembled by three spring sheets 71. A long central connecting portion is provided in the center of each spring sheet, and long outer connecting portions are provided on both sides. An elastic beam 72 is arranged between the central connecting portion and the outer connecting portion, and each elastic beam is perpendicular to the central connecting portion and the outer connecting portion, and each elastic beam is arranged in parallel with equal spacing. The central connecting portion of the first spring sheet is connected to the central connecting portion of the second spring sheet through a gasket, and the outer connecting portion of the second spring sheet is connected to the outer connecting portion of the third spring sheet through a gasket, and together they are assembled into the elastic member 40.

[0061] The outer connecting portion of the first spring sheet is used as the outer vibrating body connecting portion of the elastic member 40, and the central connecting portion of the third spring sheet is used as the inner vibrating body connecting portion of the elastic member 40. By adjusting the mass of the inner vibrating body 20 and the outer vibrating body 30 and the material and size of each spring sheet, the outer connecting portion of the second spring sheet, the outer connecting portion of the third spring sheet and the gasket therebetween are roughly located at the node position where the amplitude of the vibration mode corresponding to the working target mode of the feeder is the smallest, and a support point is set at this position below the elastic member 40.

[0062] The outer vibration body connection part of the elastic member 40 is connected to the outer elastic member mounting part 31 of the outer vibration body 30, and the inner vibration body connection part of the elastic member 40 is connected to the outer elastic member mounting part 22 of the inner vibration body 20. The four supporting points of the elastic member 40 are connected to the mounting surface through the supporting body 50 below.

[0063] The present invention controls the mass distribution of the internal vibrating body 20 while arranging a plurality of elastic members 40, so as to concentrate the output energy of the exciting mechanism on the working target mode and reduce the amplitude amplification factor of the pitch motion mode within the working frequency band, thereby suppressing the relative pitch motion of the feeder during operation; and by arranging a support body 50 on the target mode node, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the ground and absorbing the vibration components of other modes without substantially affecting the feeding vibration, further suppressing useless motion modes such as the pitch motion of the feeder during operation, thereby improving the feeding stability.

[0064] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
