Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of feeding device, specifically, it relates to an aluminum can feeder. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production processes in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals, aluminum can feeders serve as key equipment connecting vibratory feeder orientation with subsequent processing steps.

[0003] However, existing equipment often uses a direct material drop design between the vibratory feeder outlet and the conveyor belt. Even with a simple guiding structure, the aluminum cans fall freely under their own weight and collide hard with the conveyor belt or guiding structure. This is especially true for thin-walled aluminum cans and those with printed coatings or films on their surfaces. As a result, the edges of the can opening are easily damaged, the surface coating peels off, and the can body is scratched. This directly leads to an increase in scrap rate, increases production costs, affects the appearance, and can even cause breakage, creating additional trouble for subsequent filling and sealing processes. Therefore, these equipment equipment have certain shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a feeder device that can overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an aluminum can feeder, including a vibratory feeder, a conveyor belt, and further comprising: A guiding device, located between the vibratory feeder and the conveyor belt, is used to guide the aluminum cans guided out by the vibratory feeder so that their openings face upwards and they fall onto the conveyor belt. A buffer assembly, installed within the guide device, is used to slow the speed at which the aluminum can falls.

[0006] Furthermore, the guiding device includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate, a guide rod, and a fixed plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt, and both the first guide plate and the second guide plate are mounted on the fixed plate. A Y-shaped material drop chute is provided between the first guide plate and the second guide plate. The buffer assembly is located in the Y-shaped material drop chute. The second guide plate is higher than the first guide plate, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the first guide plate. The aluminum cans conveyed by the vibratory feeder will pass through guide plate two and then come into contact with guide rods. When the opening of the aluminum can faces the guide rods, the guide rods will be inserted into the opening of the aluminum cans to achieve positioning until the bottom of the aluminum cans is completely away from guide plate two. Because the installation height of guide plate two is higher than that of guide plate one, and the weight of the bottom of the aluminum can is greater than that of the top (open end), under the action of gravity, the bottom of the aluminum can flips towards guide plate one and finally falls into the Y-shaped material drop chute. When the bottom of the aluminum can faces the guide rod, the aluminum can cannot be positioned with the guide rod and falls directly into the Y-shaped material drop chute bottom-down along the guide of guide plate two and guide plate one. After being decelerated by the buffer component, the aluminum can falls smoothly onto the conveyor belt and is transported to the next process.

[0007] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a telescopic rod, a compression plate, and a compression sponge. The guide plate has an opening, the telescopic rod is detachably installed in the opening, the compression plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, the compression plate is L-shaped, the compression sponge is installed on the side of the compression plate for compressing the side of the aluminum can and slowing it down, and the bottom of the compression plate is used to hold the aluminum can in place and fix it.

[0008] Furthermore, the extruded sponge is rectangular in shape, with an inclined surface near the top, and a bottom sponge is installed at the bottom of the extrusion plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting plate is detachably mounted on the guide plate one, and a sponge pad is mounted on the mounting plate one; a mounting plate is detachably mounted on the guide plate two, and a sponge pad is mounted on the mounting plate two.

[0010] Furthermore, a telescopic cylinder is installed on the fixed plate, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder. The push plate is used to push the aluminum can in the Y-shaped discharge chute, so that it is pushed out of the Y-shaped discharge chute.

[0011] Furthermore, both guide plate one and guide plate two are provided with multiple sets of grooves, and spring components are installed in the grooves. A sliding plate is connected to the other end of the spring component. The sliding plate is used to block the Y-shaped material discharge groove, so that it is in a relatively closed environment to prevent the aluminum can from falling out of the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, sensor one and sensor two are installed on the fixed plate to detect the state of the aluminum can falling into the Y-shaped material discharge trough. Two sets of push rods are fixedly connected to the push plate. The push rods abut against the sliding plate and are used to push the sliding plate to make the Y-shaped material discharge trough leak out, thereby causing the aluminum can to fall.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper push rod is located above the guide rod to prevent the aluminum cans from arching upwards due to mutual compression, while the lower push rod is located below the guide plate and above the height of the aluminum cans to avoid affecting the height of the aluminum cans.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide rod has a jet nozzle, which is connected to the outlet of an external air pump. The jet nozzle is used to generate gas to separate the aluminum can from the guide rod.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The present invention achieves material deceleration and impact prevention through buffer components, and reduces jamming by using air jet nozzles to assist the separation of aluminum cans and guide rods. It also has automatic stopping, clearing and resetting functions for jammed materials, without the need for manual intervention. This ensures a low damage rate of aluminum can feeding and significantly improves production continuity and automation efficiency, making it suitable for conventional aluminum can automated feeding scenarios.

[0018] To make the objectives, 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 with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] Example: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 An aluminum can feeder includes a vibratory feeder 1, a conveyor belt 3, and further includes: Guide device 2, located between vibratory plate 1 and conveyor belt 3, is used to guide the aluminum cans guided out by vibratory plate 1 so that their openings face upwards and fall onto conveyor belt 3; Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the guiding device 2 is located between the vibratory plate 1 and the conveyor belt 3. It is used to receive the aluminum cans conveyed by the vibratory plate 1 and complete the orientation guidance, so that the aluminum cans fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt 3.

[0020] The core function of the vibratory feeder 1 is to achieve the initial sorting and conveying of aluminum cans. It includes components such as a hopper, a vibratory motor, a spiral track, and spring plates. The vibratory motor drives the spring plates to generate torsional vibration, which moves the aluminum cans along the spiral track toward the discharge port. The core function of the conveyor belt 3 is to receive the dropped material and transport the aluminum cans to the next process. It includes components such as the conveyor belt body, drive roller, driven roller, support frame, and drive motor. The drive motor drives the roller to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt body to circulate and achieve material conveying.

[0021] A buffer assembly, installed within the guide device 2, is used to slow down the speed at which the aluminum can falls.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the guiding device 2 includes a first guide plate 201, a second guide plate 202, a guide rod 203, and a fixed plate 204. The fixed plate 204 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 3, and both the first guide plate 201 and the second guide plate 202 are installed on the fixed plate 204. There is a Y-shaped material drop chute between the first guide plate 201 and the second guide plate 202. The buffer assembly is located in the Y-shaped material drop chute. The second guide plate 202 is higher than the first guide plate 201, and the guide rod 203 is fixedly connected to the first guide plate 201. Among them, the size of the feeding chute is the key to avoiding jamming, tumbling and scratching: if the feeding chute is too narrow, the aluminum can will easily get stuck due to insufficient gap after entering; if the width is too large, the aluminum can will sway left and right or even tumble during the falling process, and collide with the chute wall and cause scratches.

[0023] Therefore, the width of the discharge chute in this application is set to "the diameter of the aluminum can + 3-5mm" (e.g., when adapting to an aluminum can with a diameter of 60mm, the width of the discharge chute is 63-65mm); the depth of the discharge chute is 100-120mm (to adapt to aluminum cans with a height of 80-150mm, ensuring the stability of the aluminum can when it falls); the inlet guide section of the Y-shaped discharge chute has an inclination angle of 15°, the buffer deceleration section has an inclination angle of 8°, the outlet sliding section has an inclination angle of 12°, and the length of the buffer deceleration section is 150mm.

[0024] The aluminum cans conveyed by the vibratory feeder 1 will pass through the guide plate 202 and then come into contact with the guide rod 203: When the aluminum can opening faces the guide rod 203, the guide rod 203 is inserted into the aluminum can opening to achieve positioning until the bottom of the aluminum can is completely away from the guide plate 202. Since the installation height of guide plate 202 is higher than that of guide plate 1 201, and the weight of the bottom of the aluminum can is greater than that of the top, under the action of gravity, the bottom of the aluminum can flips to the side of guide plate 1 201, and finally the bottom falls into the Y-shaped discharge chute. When the bottom of the aluminum can faces the guide rod 203, the aluminum can cannot be positioned with the guide rod 203 and falls directly into the Y-shaped discharge chute with its bottom facing down along the guide plate 202 and the guide plate 201. The aluminum cans that fall into the chute are slowed down by the buffer assembly and then fall onto the conveyor belt 3 and are transported to the next process.

[0025] like Figure 9As shown, the buffer assembly includes a telescopic rod 501 (a high-speed electromagnetic push rod that can quickly extend, retract, and reset, suitable for aluminum can feeder production lines), an extrusion plate 502, and an extrusion sponge 503. The guide plate 202 has an opening, and the telescopic rod 501 is detachably installed in the opening. The extrusion plate 502 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 501. The extrusion plate 502 is L-shaped. The extrusion sponge 503 is installed on the side of the extrusion plate 502 to extrude the side of the aluminum can and decelerate it. The bottom of the extrusion plate 502 is used to abut against the aluminum can and fix it.

[0026] The extruded sponge 503 is rectangular in shape, with a sloping surface near the top. A bottom sponge 504 is installed at the bottom of the extrusion plate 502.

[0027] Specifically, a mounting plate 4011 is detachably mounted on guide plate 201, and a sponge pad 4012 is mounted on mounting plate 4011. A mounting plate 4021 is detachably mounted on guide plate 202, and a sponge pad 4022 is mounted on mounting plate 4021.

[0028] At this time, a mounting plate 4011 is detachably installed on guide plate 201, and a sponge pad 4012 is installed on mounting plate 4011; a mounting plate 4021 is detachably installed on guide plate 202, and a sponge pad 4022 is installed on mounting plate 4021 (both sponge pads 4012 and 4022 are 2-3mm thick). The sponge pads can fill the 3-5mm gap between the material chute and the aluminum can, which not only avoids direct contact between the aluminum can and the metal chute wall, but also prevents the aluminum can from rolling left and right when falling, reducing the risk of scratches from the source; at the same time, the sponge pads are elastic, which can help to mitigate the impact force of the falling aluminum can.

[0029] A telescopic cylinder 701 is installed on the fixed plate 204. A push plate 702 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 701. The push plate 702 is used to push the aluminum can in the Y-shaped discharge chute, so that it is pushed out of the Y-shaped discharge chute.

[0030] Both guide plate 1 201 and guide plate 2 202 are provided with multiple sets of grooves, and spring components 206 are installed in the grooves. A sliding plate 205 is connected to the other end of the spring component 206. The sliding plate 205 is used to block the Y-shaped material drop chute, so that it is in a relatively closed environment to prevent the aluminum can from falling out of the chute.

[0031] Sensor 1 601 and sensor 2 602 are installed on the fixed plate 204 to detect the state of the aluminum can falling into the Y-shaped material chute. Two sets of push rods 703 are fixedly connected to the push plate 702. The push rods 703 abut against the sliding plate 205 and are used to push the sliding plate 205 to make the Y-shaped material chute leak out, thereby causing the aluminum can to fall.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, at this time, sensor 601, sensor 602, and telescopic cylinder 701 are installed on the fixed plate 204. Sensor 601 is located at the entrance of the Y-shaped material discharge chute and is used to detect whether the aluminum can enters the material discharge chute. Sensor 602 is located at the exit of the Y-shaped material discharge chute (near the end of the conveyor belt 3) and is used to detect whether the aluminum can falls from the material discharge chute. A push plate 702 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 701. Two sets of push rods 703 are fixedly connected to the push plate 702. The push rods 703 abut against the sliding plate 205, and the upper push rod 703 is located above the guide rod 203.

[0033] like Figure 12 As shown, the push rod 703 located above the guide rod 203 is used to prevent the aluminum cans from being squeezed upwards by the aluminum cans behind them when they enter the guide rod 203, so as to facilitate the material falling. The push rod 703 below is located below the guide plate 201 and is higher than the aluminum can, so as to avoid affecting the removal of the aluminum can.

[0034] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the guide rod 203 has a jet nozzle 2031, which is connected to an external air pump (not shown in the figure). The jet nozzle 2031 is used to generate gas to separate the aluminum can from the guide rod 203. A detection sensor is installed on the fixing plate 204 to detect the status of the aluminum can on the guide rod 203.

[0035] The function of the jet nozzle 2031 is to generate gas thrust, which helps the aluminum can to separate smoothly from the guide rod 203, preventing the aluminum can from getting stuck on the guide rod 203 due to adsorption, friction, or other factors, and ensuring smooth material discharge after orientation. During the orientation process of the aluminum can, if the opening faces the guide rod 203, the guide rod 203 will be inserted into the opening of the aluminum can to achieve positioning; after the orientation is completed, some aluminum cans may stick to the guide rod 203 due to surface friction, misalignment and other factors, and cannot fall into the discharge chute smoothly. At this point, the detection sensor detected that the aluminum can had exceeded the normal unloading time, but it had not detached. Then the air pump starts, and when the gas is ejected from the nozzle 2031, an airflow is formed between the aluminum can and the guide rod 203, generating an outward thrust to help the aluminum can quickly detach from the guide rod 203 and ensure that it enters the Y-shaped discharge chute along the preset trajectory, thus avoiding jamming before entering the discharge chute.

[0036] The specific operating procedure for this device is as follows: When the feeding speed is within the normal range (10-30 pieces / minute), the equipment's workflow is as follows: Step 1: Orienting of the aluminum can into the discharge chute: After the aluminum can is conveyed to the guide device 2 by the vibrating plate 1, it first contacts the guide plate 202, and then cooperates with the guide rod 203 to complete the orientation. If the opening of the aluminum can faces the guide rod 203, the guide rod 203 is inserted into the opening of the aluminum can for positioning until the bottom of the aluminum can leaves the guide plate 202. Because the guide plate 202 is higher than the guide plate 1 201 and the bottom of the aluminum can is heavier, the bottom of the aluminum can falls into the Y-shaped discharge chute under the action of gravity. If the bottom of the aluminum can faces the guide rod 203, it falls directly into the Y-shaped discharge chute bottom down. During the discharge process, the sponge pad 1 4012 and the sponge pad 2 4022 restrict the shaking of the aluminum can and prevent it from rolling.

[0037] Step 2, Buffer component triggers deceleration: After sensor 601 detects that the aluminum can has entered the drop chute, it sends a signal to the control system. The control system drives the telescopic rod 501 to extend, and the extrusion plate 502 drives the extrusion sponge 503 to move towards the center of the drop chute, which adheres to the side wall of the aluminum can to generate friction and slow down the falling speed of the aluminum can; at the same time, the bottom sponge 504 abuts against the bottom of the aluminum can to reduce the impact caused by the free fall from a height.

[0038] Step 3, Smooth Material Drop and Conveying: After the aluminum can is decelerated until it stops, the telescopic rod 501 retracts and resets, and then the aluminum can slowly descends. The aluminum can slides along the outlet section of the material drop chute to the outlet. Sensor 602 detects that the aluminum can has fallen onto the conveyor belt 3 and is conveyed by the conveyor belt 3 to the next station. The equipment continues to feed the next aluminum can.

[0039] If the sensor detects that the aluminum can is stuck, please refer to the following operating procedure: When an aluminum can becomes stuck in the feeding chute due to an abnormality (such as deformation of the aluminum can or the introduction of foreign objects), and sensor 2 (602) fails to detect the aluminum can falling for 5 consecutive seconds after sensor 1 (601) sends a signal, it is determined to be a "material jam," and the equipment immediately starts the automatic processing program: Step 1: Stop feeding: The control system sends a stop signal to the vibratory feeder 1, and the feeder temporarily stops feeding to prevent the aluminum can from continuing to enter and cause jamming.

[0040] Step 2, Sliding plate 205 opens: The control system drives the telescopic cylinder 701 to move, the telescopic cylinder 701 drives the push plate 702 to move, the two sets of push rods 703 on the push plate 702 abut against the sliding plate 205, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 206 and pushing the sliding plate 205 to slide along the groove, so that the opening of the Y-shaped material discharge groove is fully exposed.

[0041] Step 3, Remove the stuck aluminum cans: The pusher plate 702 continues to move and extends into the discharge chute to push the stacked stuck aluminum cans out of the opening to the waste collection area (the surface of the pusher plate 702 can be fitted with a soft rubber layer to avoid scratching the aluminum cans during the pushing process).

[0042] Step 4, component reset and material feeding resumption: After the jammed material is removed, the telescopic cylinder 701 drives the push plate 702 and push rod 703 to reset in the opposite direction; the sliding plate 205 returns to its initial position under the elastic force of the spring 206, and covers the Y-shaped material drop chute again; the control system sends a start signal to the vibratory feeder 1, the feeder resumes feeding, and the above buffering process is repeated.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
