Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic feeding devices, in particular to a simple feeding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A feeder is a machine that uses the force of machine movement to apply force to materials and transport materials. The feeder is an indispensable equipment for light industry and heavy industry. The actual application of the feeder shows that choosing a reasonable AC servo system can meet the requirements of fast response speed and high speed accuracy of the control system.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent CN218656535U discloses a heavy-weight plate feeding rack, which includes a frame, a lifting assembly, a horizontal moving assembly and a suction cup assembly; after the suction cup assembly sucks the workpiece, the workpiece is lifted to a certain height and moved horizontally under the drive of the lifting assembly and the horizontal moving assembly.

[0004] When metal is being processed, the material to be processed will be moved to facilitate transfer to the next workstation for processing. If manpower is used to transfer the material, if the material product is heavy, it will be very difficult for the personnel to carry it, which will greatly affect the processing efficiency of the raw materials, cause a waste of human resources, and be inconvenient for subsequent production and processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple feeding mechanism to improve feeding efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following contents:

[0007] The utility model provides a simple feeding mechanism, which comprises:

[0008] A fixed plate body is arranged in a vertical direction;

[0009] A linear displacement assembly is installed on the inner surface of the fixed plate body along the extension direction of the fixed plate body, and an intermediate plate is arranged at the output end of the linear displacement assembly;

[0010] A supporting bottom plate, one end of which is hingedly connected to the upper part of the middle plate, and mounting side plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the surface of the supporting bottom plate, and a plurality of rotatable shafts are arranged in parallel and spaced apart between the two mounting side plates;

[0011] The cylinder member has a bottom end hingedly connected to the lower part of the middle plate, and a top end hingedly connected to the other end of the supporting bottom plate.

[0012] According to a simple feeding mechanism provided by the utility model, the linear displacement assembly includes a pair of guide rails installed along the height direction of the fixed plate body, each guide rail is clamped with a connecting slider in a sliding manner, and the two connecting sliders are connected to the middle plate outwardly; it also includes a lifting cylinder component vertically installed on the surface of the fixed plate body, and the output end of the lifting cylinder component is connected to the middle plate. Through the action of the lifting cylinder component, the middle plate is driven up and down, so that the middle plate drives the supporting bottom plate and the cylinder component to move up and down as a whole.

[0013] Furthermore, a first hinge seat is provided on one side of the bottom end of the support base plate, and a second hinge seat is provided on the other side of the bottom end of the support base plate. The first hinge seat and the second hinge seat are respectively hingedly connected to the middle plate and the output top end of the cylinder member through a hinge shaft. The hinged installation method ensures that the cylinder member can rotate freely in a small space, thereby improving the maneuverability of the cylinder member, that is, when the angle of the support base plate changes, the angle of the cylinder member will also change adaptively.

[0014] Furthermore, a stopper is provided at each of the upper and lower ends of the inner surface of the fixed plate body, corresponding to the upper and lower ends of the middle plate, respectively. The contact and cooperation between the middle plate and the stopper is utilized to ensure the highest and lowest heights that the middle plate can move up and down.

[0015] According to a simple feeding mechanism provided by the utility model, a through-beam sensor is provided at the middle position of the two mounting side plates, and the output end of the through-beam sensor can penetrate the surface of the mounting side plate inward. By using a pair of through-beam sensors, it is possible to perform an inductive judgment on whether a product enters the surface of the platform formed by a plurality of rotating shafts on the supporting bottom plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following technical effects: the utility model has a simple structure and a reasonable design; the cylinder part pushes the outer end of the support base plate upward, so that the support base plate presents a slightly inward tilted posture, that is, the outer end is slightly lifted, at this time the product falls on several rotating shafts of the support base plate and the product is received; the cylinder part pulls the outer end of the support base plate downward, so that the support base plate presents an inclined downward sliding posture, at this time the product will roll to a predetermined position under the rotation of several rotating shafts and complete the product feeding work; and the linear displacement component can realize the change of the feeding height position to facilitate the accuracy of the material receiving or feeding position. The feeding mechanism is conducive to the transportation of heavier materials, with a high degree of automation, thereby reducing manpower consumption, improving work efficiency, reducing costs, and is practical and economical.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to explain the present invention more clearly, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following specific description is illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] 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 an indirect connection 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 according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The embodiment of the utility model proposes a simple feeding mechanism, including a fixed plate body 1, which is arranged in a vertical direction; a linear displacement component 2, which is installed on the inner surface of the fixed plate body 1 along the extension direction of the fixed plate body 1, and an intermediate plate 3 is arranged at the output end of the linear displacement component 2, that is, the intermediate plate 3 is controlled by the linear displacement component 2 to move upward or downward; a supporting bottom plate 4, one end of which is hingedly connected to the upper part of the intermediate plate 3, and mounting side plates 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the surface of the supporting bottom plate 4, and a plurality of rotatable shafts 6 are arranged in parallel and spaced between the two mounting side plates 5; a cylinder member 7, the bottom end of which is hingedly connected to the lower part of the intermediate plate 3, and the top end of which is hingedly connected to the other end of the supporting bottom plate 4, that is, the other end of the supporting bottom plate 4 is controlled by the cylinder member 7 to move upward or downward.

[0024] The feeding mechanism has two states when working. The first state: in order to receive the products transferred by the external mechanism, the outer end of the supporting base plate 4 is mainly lifted up by the cylinder part 7, so that the supporting base plate 4 presents an inwardly inclined posture. At this time, the product falls on several rotating shafts 6 of the supporting base plate 4 and the product receiving work is completed; the second state: in order to transfer the received product to the next workstation, the outer end of the supporting base plate 4 is mainly pulled downward by the cylinder part 7, so that the supporting base plate 4 presents an inclined downward sliding posture. At this time, the product will roll to the predetermined position under the rotation of several rotating shafts 6 and complete the product feeding work; the linear displacement component 2 can realize the change of the feeding height position, so as to facilitate the accuracy of the receiving or feeding position.

[0025] In this embodiment, the linear displacement assembly 2 includes a pair of guide rails 21 installed along the height direction of the fixed plate body 1, each guide rail 21 is clamped with a connecting slider 22 in a sliding manner, and the two connecting sliders 22 are connected to the middle plate 3 outwardly; it also includes a lifting cylinder 23 vertically installed on the surface of the fixed plate body 1, and the lifting cylinder 23 is connected to the middle plate 3. Through the action of the lifting cylinder, the middle plate is driven up and down, so that the middle plate drives the supporting bottom plate and the cylinder to move up and down synchronously, thereby realizing the height change of the supporting bottom plate.

[0026] Among them, a first hinge seat 41 is arranged on one side of the bottom end of the support bottom plate 4, and a second hinge seat 42 is arranged on the other side of the bottom end of the support bottom plate 4. The first hinge seat 41 and the second hinge seat 42 are respectively hingedly connected to the middle plate 3 and the output top end of the cylinder member 7 through a hinge shaft. The hinged installation method ensures that the cylinder member can rotate freely in a small space, and improves the maneuverability of the cylinder member, that is, when the angle of the support bottom plate changes, the angle of the cylinder member will also change adaptively.

[0027] Among them, a stopper 11 is provided at both upper and lower ends of the inner surface of the fixed plate body 1, respectively corresponding to the upper and lower ends of the middle plate 3. The contact and cooperation between the upper or lower part of the middle plate and the stopper is used to ensure the highest and lowest heights that the middle plate can move up and down, that is, when the bottom end of the middle plate triggers the stopper below the surface of the fixed plate body, it means that the support bottom plate has moved down to the right position, which is convenient for the subsequent product feeding work; when the top end of the middle plate triggers the stopper above the surface of the fixed plate body, it means that the support bottom plate has moved up to the right position, which is convenient for the subsequent product receiving work.

[0028] Among them, a through-beam sensor is set in the middle of the two mounting side plates, and the output end of the through-beam sensor can penetrate the surface of the mounting side plate inward. By using the cooperation of this pair of through-beam sensors, it is possible to perform inductive judgment on whether there is a product entering the platform surface formed by a plurality of rotating shafts on the supporting bottom plate, so as to conveniently confirm whether there is a product on the rotating shaft.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not limitations on the implementation methods of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
