Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of material conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a rotary feeding device for paper clips. Background Art
[0002] Paper clips (also known as paperclips or paper clips) are office supplies made by bending metal wire. They mainly use the elasticity of metal to hold paper in place, and are flexible and do not damage the paper.
[0003] After paperclips are processed, they are usually transported by conveyor belt to be packaged into boxes. However, during the transport of paperclips on the conveyor belt, the distribution of paperclips is often quite disordered. This not only makes it difficult to transport paperclips reliably and stably, but the disordered distribution of paperclips can also affect the neatness of their packaging. In some cases, disordered paperclips may even prevent the packaging box from being closed, requiring manual intervention to complete the packaging operation, which seriously affects the production efficiency of paperclips. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rotary feeding device for paper clips.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A paperclip turntable feeding device includes a turntable, a feeding assembly disposed on the turntable, and a feeding channel for feeding paperclips into the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly has a conveyor belt and side plates disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt. Partitions are spaced apart on the conveyor belt, and a receiving cavity for feeding paperclips is provided between two adjacent partitions. A flap is rotatably mounted on the partition at the bottom of the receiving cavity. A magnet is disposed inside the flap, and the magnet is disposed vertically opposite to a magnet of the feeding assembly. A feeding hole for unloading is provided at one end of the conveyor belt.
[0007] Preferably, the partition is provided with a rotating shaft, the flap is connected to the rotating shaft, the flap can rotate along the rotating shaft and form a clamping groove with the partition to accommodate paperclips, and the clamping groove is located above the feeding hole.
[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the partition is provided with a bent plate, which can be bent and extended toward the feed hole side.
[0009] Preferably, brush rollers are arranged above the conveyor belt, staggered with the magnet 2, and the brush rollers are provided with bristles that rotate and abut against the flip plate. The length of the paperclip is greater than the width L1 of the flip plate.
[0010] Preferably, a feeding hopper is provided above the conveyor belt, and the feeding hopper and feeding holes are distributed at both ends of the conveyor belt. A guide plate is provided on the side plate at the lower end of the feeding hopper, and a buffer strip is provided on the guide plate that extends inclined toward the conveyor belt.
[0011] Preferably, the turntable is fixed with a mounting bracket for placing the feeding hopper, and the feeding hopper rotates synchronously with the feeding assembly.
[0012] Preferably, the side plate is provided with a baffle located in front of the feeding hole and a slide plate located below the conveyor belt, the slide plate extending downward at an angle to the feeding hole.
[0013] Preferably, the material conveying channel is provided with a partition plate one and a partition plate two at intervals. The partition plate one is connected to the output end of the cylinder one, and the partition plate two is connected to the output end of the cylinder two.
[0014] Preferably, the flip plate is provided with a slot for mounting magnet one, and the side plate is provided with a mounting plate for fixing magnet two.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. A receiving cavity for conveying paper clips is set at intervals on the conveyor belt, and a flip plate is rotated at the bottom of the receiving cavity. The flip plate is rotated at intervals by the cooperation of magnet one and magnet two inside it, thereby swinging and organizing the paper clips in the conveying process. This allows the paper clips to be stacked and conveyed more neatly when they are output out through the feeding hole, ensuring the neatness of the conveyed and boxed paper clips and avoiding the impact of the boxing efficiency on the paper clips due to disordered distribution.
[0017] 2. A brush roller is set above the conveyor belt, which is staggered with the magnet 2. The length of the paperclip is greater than the width L1 of the flip plate. The brush bristles on the brush roller rotate to flexibly organize the paperclip. This works in conjunction with the flip plate, which is oscillating and rotating, so that the paperclip can be neatly stacked horizontally on one side of the receiving cavity. As the conveyor belt transports the paperclip, it is neatly packed into a box, which improves the neatness and efficiency of the paperclip boxing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0027] In the description of this specification, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or unit referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a paperclip turntable feeding device includes a turntable 1, a feeding assembly 3 disposed on the turntable 1, and a feeding channel 2 for feeding paperclips into the feeding assembly 3. The feeding assembly 3 is multiple and fixedly disposed on the turntable 1 so that the feeding assembly 3 can be rotated circumferentially by rotating the turntable 1. The feeding channel 2 extends obliquely downward to the top of the feeding assembly 3.
[0029] The feeding assembly 3 has a conveyor belt 32 and side plates 321 disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 32. The side plates 321 are attached to both sides of the conveyor belt 32. The front and rear ends of the conveyor belt 32 are provided with conveying rollers 31 that drive its transmission. The conveyor belt 32 is provided with partitions 33 at intervals. Between two adjacent partitions 33, there is a receiving cavity 332 for conveying paper clips. The paper clips in the feeding channel 2 are conveyed into the receiving cavity 332 and conveyed with the conveyor belt 32.
[0030] Specifically, a feeding hopper 12 is provided above the conveyor belt 32, and a mounting frame 11 for placing the feeding hopper 12 is fixed on the turntable 1. The feeding hopper 12 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 11 and its lower end extends above the conveyor belt 32. The feeding hopper 12 rotates synchronously with the feeding assembly 3, and as the turntable 1 rotates, the feeding channel 2 sequentially feeds the paperclips to be packed into the feeding assembly 3 through the feeding hopper 12.
[0031] The feeding channel 2 is provided with partition 1 21 and partition 22 at intervals. Partition 1 21 and partition 22 are slidably disposed on the feeding channel 2. Partition 1 21 is connected to the output end of cylinder 1 211, and partition 22 is connected to the output end of cylinder 2 212. That is, the cylinder 1 211 can drive partition 1 21 to slide to open or close the feeding channel 2, and the cylinder 2 212 can drive partition 2 22 to slide to open or close the feeding channel 2. Thus, the number of paperclips fed at one time is controlled by the cooperation of partition 1 21 and partition 2 22.
[0032] Specifically, partition 1 21 slides to close the feeding channel 2 and partition 2 22 slides to open the feeding channel 2, so that paperclips can be fed to the partition 1 21. After the feeding channel 2 has fed a certain number of paperclips, partition 2 22 slides to close the feeding channel 2 to limit the feeding of subsequent paperclips, and partition 1 21 slides to open the feeding channel 2 to quantitatively feed the paperclips in the feeding channel 2 into the feeding assembly 3.
[0033] The bottom of the receiving cavity 332 is provided with a flap 34 rotatably mounted on the partition 33. The paperclip is disposed on the flap 34. The partition 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 341. The flap 34 is connected to the rotating shaft 341, so that the flap 34 can rotate relative to the partition 33. A magnet 35 is disposed inside the flap 34. The magnet 35 and the magnet 36 of the feeding assembly 3 are disposed vertically opposite each other.
[0034] Specifically, the flip plate 34 is provided with a slot 342 for mounting a magnet 35. The magnets 35 are distributed one-to-one with the flip plate 34 and fixed in the slot 342. The side plate 321 is provided with a mounting plate 361 for fixing a magnet 36. The magnets 36 are fixed at intervals on the mounting plate 361, and the mounting plate 361 is set upward and close to the upper flip plate 34.
[0035] Then, when the flap 34 is moved to the position below the fixed magnet 36 by the transmission of the conveyor belt 32, the magnet 35 swings and flips upward under the magnetic force of the magnet 36. The flap 34 is rotated at intervals by the cooperation of the magnet 35 and the magnet 36 inside it, and then the paperclips in the conveying process are sorted by swinging, that is, the paperclips are swung and pushed to the vicinity of the partition 33 on one side of the rotating shaft 341.
[0036] One end of the conveyor belt 32 is provided with a feeding hole 323 for unloading. The feeding hopper 12 and the feeding hole 323 are distributed at both ends of the conveyor belt 32. The side plate 321 is provided with a baffle 322 located in front of the feeding hole 323 and a sliding plate 38 located below the conveyor belt 32. The sliding plate 38 extends downward at an incline to the feeding hole 323. It can also be understood that the baffle 322, the sliding plate 38, and the side plates 321 on both sides cooperate with each other to form the feeding hole 323.
[0037] Below the feeding hole 323, a packaging box for boxed paperclips can be provided. The paperclips in the receiving cavity 332 swing and arrange themselves to the vicinity of the partition 33 near the feeding hole 323. Then, the flip plate 34 swings and arranges the paperclips, so that the paperclips can be stacked and transported more neatly when they are output outward through the feeding hole 323, ensuring the neatness of the transported and boxed paperclips, and avoiding the impact of the boxing efficiency on the paperclips due to disordered distribution.
[0038] Furthermore, the flap 34 is rotatable along the pivot 341 and forms a groove 333 with the partition 33 to accommodate paperclips (see reference). Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the flip plate 34 moves to one end of the circular conveyor belt 32, the flip plate 34 will gradually flip downward under the action of gravity. The flipped flip plate 34 and the partition plate 33 form a clamping groove 333 between each other. At this time, the paper clips to be packaged are accommodated in the clamping groove 333. The clamping groove 333 is located above the feeding hole 323. Through the clamping groove 333, the partition plate 33 of the clamping groove 333 provides a barrier for the falling of the paper clips. Therefore, the paper clips in the clamping groove 333 need to be further transported and displaced before they can fall and be packed into the packaging box.
[0039] By setting the aforementioned clamping groove 333 and partition 33, the height of the paperclip when it falls can be reduced, making it less likely for the paperclip to become disordered again during the falling and boxing process. This improves the reliability and stability of paperclip conveying and boxing, and ensures the production efficiency of paperclips.
[0040] Furthermore, the upper end of the partition 33 is provided with a bent plate 331, which can be bent and extended toward the feeding hole 323 (see reference). Figure 3 As shown, the bending plate 331 can provide a sliding guide for the paperclip to fall into the feeding hole 323, making the falling and conveying of the paperclip more reliable.
[0041] Above the conveyor belt 32, brush rollers 37 are arranged in an alternating pattern with magnet 36. The brush rollers 37 are rotatably mounted on the side plate 321. The brush rollers 37 are provided with bristles 371 that rotatably abut against the flip plate 34. That is, as the brush rollers 37 rotate, the bristles 371 can rotate and flexibly arrange the paperclips. The length of the paperclips is greater than the width L1 of the flip plate 34. That is, the paperclips can only be distributed horizontally or horizontally inclined on the flip plate 34 in the receiving cavity 332.
[0042] Furthermore, the bristles 371 cooperate with the flipping and oscillating flap 34 so that the paperclips can be neatly stacked horizontally on one side of the receiving cavity 332, and are neatly packed into boxes as they are conveyed by the conveyor belt 32, thereby improving the neatness and efficiency of paperclip packing.
[0043] To further improve the reliability of conveying paperclips on the conveyor belt 32, a guide plate 4 is provided on the side plate 321 at the lower end of the feeding hopper 12. The guide plate 4 is provided with a buffer strip 41 that extends inclined toward the conveyor belt 32. The buffer strip 41 provides buffer guidance for the paperclips falling onto the conveyor belt 32, so that the paperclips can fall onto the conveyor belt 32 more smoothly and reliably for conveying.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
