[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a double-station elastic distance-changing device for a flexible loader of a modular separation disc is applied to a flexible loader, the flexible loader comprising a base 100, on which a first slide rail 101 is mounted, on which a separation disc 102 is slidably mounted, and the double-station elastic distance-changing device for a flexible loader of a modular separation disc comprises a distance-adjusting unit and a loading unit;

[0039] The distance adjustment unit includes a first gear 205 and a first rack 206 that mesh with each other, and the distance adjustment unit also includes a driving mechanism for driving the distance adjustment unit to adjust the distance;

[0040] The loading unit includes a storage trough 400 and a discharge port 401. A vibration mechanism is provided at the bottom of the storage trough 400, and a connecting mechanism is provided at the bottom of the vibration mechanism. The vibration mechanism is connected to the driving mechanism through the connecting mechanism to vibrate the storage trough 400 and the discharge port 401.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the distance adjustment unit further includes a mounting block 103, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the separation disc 102. A first gear 205 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 103. A first rack 206 movably passes through the mounting block 103 and is fixedly connected to the base 100. A transmission mechanism is provided at one end of the first gear 205, which is used to transmit power between the drive mechanism and the first gear 205. In this configuration, the mounting block 103 firmly connects the first gear 205 to the separation disc 102, so that when the first gear 205 rotates, it can drive the separation disc 102 to slide on the first slide rail 101. The method of fixing the mounting block 103 to the bottom of the separation disc 102 ensures the stability of power transmission during the distance adjustment process.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism further includes a power source 104, and a connecting shaft 204 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the power source 104. The power source 104 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 103. The transmission mechanism includes a sleeve 312, which is movably sleeved on the connecting shaft 204. One end of the sleeve 312 movably passes through the mounting block 103 and is fixedly connected to the first gear 205. The transmission mechanism also includes a clutch assembly, which is used to control the connection state between the sleeve 312 and the connecting shaft 204. In this arrangement, the power source 104 forms a power transmission path through the connecting shaft 204, the sleeve 312, and the first gear 205. The sleeve 312 is movably sleeved on the connecting shaft 204 and cooperates with the clutch assembly to flexibly control the transmission and interruption of power.

[0043] like Figure 4 、 Figure 10As shown, the clutch assembly further includes a first clutch plate 310 and a second clutch plate 311. The first clutch plate 310 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 204, and the second clutch plate 311 is movably connected to the sleeve 312 via a key. A pressure assembly is provided at one end of the clutch assembly. The pressure assembly includes a thrust spring 314. A fixed disk 313 is provided on one side of the thrust spring 314. The fixed disk 313 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 312. The pressure assembly squeezes the second clutch plate 311 to maintain the clutch assembly in an engaged state. In this configuration, the clutch assembly consisting of the first clutch plate 310, the second clutch plate 311, the thrust spring 314, and the fixed disk 313 squeezes the second clutch plate 311 by the thrust spring 314, causing it to fit tightly with the first clutch plate 310, thereby achieving reliable power transmission.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the loading unit further includes a base plate 200, a second slide rail 201 is slidably mounted on one side of the base plate 200, the second slide rail 201 is fixedly connected to the base 100, a mounting plate 202 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 200, a support plate 203 is fixedly mounted on one end of the bottom of the mounting plate 202, the support plate 203 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting shaft 204, a connecting block 105 is fixedly mounted on one side of the base plate 200, and the connecting block 105 is fixedly connected to the separation disc 102. In this configuration, the base plate 200 is slidably connected to the base 100 through the second slide rail 201, providing a stable moving base for the loading unit, and at the same time is connected to the separation disc 102 through the connecting block 105, so that the loading unit and the distance adjustment unit move in coordination, the support of the connecting shaft 204 by the mounting plate 202 and the support plate 203 ensures the stability of the rotation of the connecting shaft 204, thereby ensuring the stability of the power input of the vibration mechanism, realizing the linkage between the loading process and the distance adjustment process, and improving the overall working efficiency of the device.

[0046] like Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, further, a support base 303 is provided at the top of the mounting plate 202, and a connecting mechanism includes a sleeve 304, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support base 303. A groove is provided on the mounting plate 202, and the sleeve 304 movably extends through the groove. A push rod 305 is movably inserted into the sleeve 304. The connecting mechanism also includes a guide cone 306, and a cam 307 is fixedly mounted on one end of the guide cone 306. The guide cone 306 and the cam 307 are both fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 204. When the cam 307 rotates, it drives the push rod 305 to vibrate. In this arrangement, when the push rod 305 is located at the end of the guide cone 306 away from the cam 307, the rotation of the guide cone 306 cannot drive the push rod 305 to vibrate up and down. When the push rod 305 moves toward the cam 307, one end of the guide cone 306 abuts against the edge of the cam 307, allowing the push rod 305 to move smoothly.

[0047] like Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 10 As shown, a connecting frame 308 is fixedly mounted on one side of the sleeve 304, and a brake member 309 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting frame 308. The second clutch plate 311 includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is aligned with the first clutch plate 310, and the outer ring is aligned with the brake member 309. When the brake member 309 and the second clutch plate 311 are in an engaged state, the second clutch plate 311 is driven to separate from the first clutch plate 310. In this configuration, the engagement of the brake member 309 with the outer ring of the second clutch plate 311 can drive the second clutch plate 311 to separate from the first clutch plate 310, achieving rapid disconnection of power transmission. This structural design closely links the start and stop control of the vibration mechanism with the power transmission control of the pitch adjustment unit.

[0048] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, a boost mechanism is further provided on the top of the mounting plate 202. The boost mechanism includes a mounting frame 300, on which a first slide bar 301 is fixedly mounted. A support seat 303 is slidably connected to the first slide bar 301. A first spring 302 is movably sleeved on the first slide bar 301. The boost mechanism also includes an electric slide 406, which is used to drive the support seat 303 to slide. In this arrangement, the first spring 302 acts as a buffer and reset during the sliding of the support seat 303, preventing rigid impact when the support seat 303 slides, ensuring smooth movement of the loading unit, and providing a certain degree of elastic assistance during the vibration process, thereby enhancing the material conveying effect and improving the adaptability and stability of the device.

[0049] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 As shown, further, the storage trough 400 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support base 303, and the discharge port 401 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the storage trough 400. Locking mechanisms are provided on both sides of the discharge port 401. The locking mechanisms are used to control the opening state of the discharge port 401. The locking mechanisms include a pad 402 and a support frame 403. The pad 402 is fixedly connected to the side of the discharge port 401. The support frame 403 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 300. A section 404 is provided on the support frame 403. A vibrating hammer 405 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 401 via a rotating shaft. In this configuration, the support frame 403 is used to support the pad 402 to keep the discharge port 401 closed. When the pad 402 moves to the section 404, the pad 402 loses its support, causing the discharge port 401 to open.

[0050] The implementation principle of the double-station elastic pitch-changing device of the flexible feeding machine of the modular separation disc of this embodiment is as follows: when loading is not in progress, the brake member 309 and the second clutch plate 311 are in a separated state. At this time, the second clutch plate 311 is kept in an engaged state with the first clutch plate 310 under the action of the thrust spring 314. The power source 104 is started, and the power source 104 drives the connecting shaft 204 to rotate. The connecting shaft 204 drives the first clutch plate 310 to rotate. The first clutch plate 310 drives the sleeve 312 to rotate through the second clutch plate 311, thereby rotating the first gear 205. The first gear 205 drives the mounting block 103 to move by meshing with the first rack 206, thereby realizing the distance adjustment of the separation disc 102.

[0051] When loading is required, the electric slide 406 is started, and the electric slide 406 pushes the support seat 303 to move, so that it drives the storage trough 400 and the discharge port 401 to move to the top of the separation plate 102, and at the same time the discharge port 401 drives the pad 402 to move. When the electric slide 406 stops moving, the pad 402 moves to the cross section 404. At this time, the support frame 403 can no longer support the pad 402, and the discharge port 401 swings down under the action of gravity;

[0052] When the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the open position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position, and the lifting mechanism 312 is in the closed position,

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
