Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bearing production, and more specifically, to a mechanism for feeding steel balls of various specifications into bearings. Background Art

[0002] Bearing steel balls are key components used in bearings and are usually made of high-quality steel to ensure that they have sufficient hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The diameter of the bearing steel balls must be very precise because it directly affects the operation of the bearing. If the diameter of the steel balls is inconsistent, the bearing may produce uneven stress distribution, resulting in friction and wear, thereby reducing the life of the bearing.

[0003] The existing steel ball feeding mechanism accurately controls the number of steel balls inside the clamp during feeding. When the steel ball material is missing, the steel balls inside the clamp will be reduced, resulting in the inability to accurately distribute the balls to each bearing. When there is a shortage of steel ball material, the corresponding bearing load will be reduced, affecting the normal use of the bearing. Utility Model Content

The bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to two plates. The two ends of the threaded rod are respectively rotatably connected to the two plates. The outer wall of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a slider.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, when the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, the threaded rod can drive the slider to move, and then drive the clamping part to move.

[0013] Furthermore, a slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the slide rail limits the sliding block, so that it can only move in the horizontal direction of the slide rail.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to a slide plate, and one side of the slide plate is provided with a cylinder.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the cylinder pushes the placement block to move, making it convenient to load the clamping parts.

[0017] Furthermore, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected with a placement block, a clamping piece is provided inside the placement block, the clamping piece is located below the blanking plate, and a rubber pad is provided inside the clamping piece.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, when the clamp is driven to the bottom of the discharge hole by the cylinder, the steel ball is dropped into the clamp through the external driving structure, and the rubber pad can play a buffering role when the steel ball is discharged.

[0019] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

Specifically, when the steel ball passes through the inside of the discharge hole, it will touch the pressure sensor.

When there is a shortage of material, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the controller, and the controller can display the number of shortages to avoid the shortage of steel balls inside the fixture. In the process of distributing the steel balls to each bearing, the accurate quantity can be distributed to avoid affecting the use of the bearings.

[0021] (2) The utility model uses the setting of the moving component to drive the clamping part to move to the bottom of the blanking hole of the corresponding specification when the steel ball of the corresponding specification needs to be selected, so as to load the material, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the clamping part and ensuring that the clamping part is located directly below the position where the material needs to be discharged, thereby ensuring the accuracy of each discharge.
