Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball installation, in particular to an automatic steel ball supply device. Background Art
[0002] Steel balls are divided into grinding steel balls, forging steel balls, and casting steel balls according to the production and processing technology. According to the processing materials, they are divided into bearing steel balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, copper bearing steel balls, and alloy steel balls. Among them, bearing steel balls are important basic parts of the industry, and alloy steel balls are a kind of spherical iron alloy wear-resistant body with carbon, chromium, manganese, molybdenum and other metal elements added as the main elements, and are generated by forging, spinning, rolling and casting. Steel balls are a kind of metal abrasives, and the main varieties are stainless steel balls, cast steel balls, aluminum balls, wire cut balls, grinding balls, and copper balls.
[0003] A Chinese patent with a search announcement number of CN218081362U discloses a steel ball feeding device for assembling a fuel injector, including a machine platform, a column, a steel ball hopper, a blanking guide mechanism, a steel ball feeding pipe and a pushing assembly. The column is vertically installed on the machine platform, and a fixed platform is provided on the top of the column. The steel ball hopper is arranged above the fixed platform, and the blanking guide mechanism is arranged below the fixed platform. The steel ball feeding pipe is vertically connected to the blanking guide mechanism, and the pipe mouth passes through the fixed platform upward and extends into the steel ball hopper. A pushing assembly is provided on the side of the blanking guide mechanism. The steel ball feeding pipe moves up and down, so that the steel balls in the steel ball hopper fall from the pipe mouth and enter the blanking guide mechanism along the steel ball feeding pipe. The pushing assembly pushes the steel balls to move horizontally in the blanking guide mechanism to reach a predetermined blanking position.
