Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic feeding, in particular to an electrode cap feeding device. Background Art
[0002] At present, the electrode cap is a kind of welding electrode, which is used for welding of resistance welding equipment, such as fixed spot welding machine, hanging spot welding machine and manipulator spot welding machine. Because it is put on the electrode connecting rod, it is called electrode cap. The common electrode cap structure is generally composed of a middle cylindrical structure and a semicircular head structure at the end.
[0003] With the popularity of automobiles, electrode caps are increasingly used for welding in the automobile production process, so factories need to cooperate with grinding equipment when processing large quantities of electrode caps. There are generally two ways to feed electrode caps: manual feeding and machine feeding. Manual feeding is inefficient and has safety hazards, so factories generally use machine feeding. Machine feeding has different requirements for the discharge posture of electrode caps. In order to meet the needs of vertical discharge of electrode caps and orderly queueing without causing the electrode caps to fall outside the feeding device due to congestion, we propose an electrode cap feeding device. Summary of the invention
[0004] The problem to be solved by the utility model is that a plurality of electrode caps can be discharged in a vertical posture and will not fall outside the feeding device due to crowding.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an electrode cap feeding device, comprising a vibration seat, a vibration mechanism, and a material selection mechanism, wherein the vibration seat is arranged at the top of the workbench, the vibration mechanism comprises a vibration disk arranged at the top of the vibration seat, a panel is arranged at the middle of the top of the vibration disk, the panel is spiral, a spiral feed plate is arranged on the inner wall of the panel, the top of the spiral feed plate is flush with the outermost end of the panel, the material selection mechanism comprises an arc plate arranged on one side of the top of the spiral feed plate, the bottom end of the arc plate is connected to an arc bottom plate inclined outwards, An arc-shaped baffle is vertically arranged on the outer side of the top end of the arc-shaped bottom plate, a rectangular recovery hole is opened at the lower part of the arc-shaped baffle, a support plate with the same inclination angle is smoothly arranged on the side of the arc-shaped bottom plate, the support plate and the arc-shaped bottom plate are staggered and connected, an L-shaped enclosure is arranged on the outer side of the top end of the support plate, a feed recovery port is opened at the bottom end of the enclosure corresponding to the support plate, a concave enclosure is arranged on the outer side of the feed recovery port, one side of the middle part of the support plate, the arc plate and the arc-shaped bottom plate are all located directly above the concave enclosure, and the ends of the support plate and the L-shaped enclosure are in a gap fit with the feed end of the feeding guide rail.
[0006] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, the width of the rectangular recovery hole is greater than the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap by 1 mm.
[0007] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, the width of one side of the arc-shaped bottom plate close to the support plate gradually shrinks to a width equal to the radius of the electrode cap.
[0008] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, an arc-shaped material guide plate is arranged between one side of the feed recovery port and one end of the interior of the enclosure and the inner wall of the concave enclosure, and a material baffle plate is arranged obliquely on the other side of the feed recovery port.
[0009] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, the bottom end of the support plate is arranged on the top end of the concave enclosure side wall through the first support block, and the bottom end of the feeding guide rail is arranged on the top end of the workbench through the second support block.
[0010] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, an arc-shaped material selection plate is provided on the inner wall of the enclosure, and the straight-line distance between the bottom end of the arc-shaped material selection plate and the spiral feed plate is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the electrode cap.
[0011] As a preferred solution of the electrode cap feeding device described in the utility model, the width of the spiral feeding plate is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model transports a large number of electrode caps through the vibration seat and the vibration mechanism. The electrode cap first turns over the arc plate to adjust its posture. If the electrode cap is in a vertical state after turning over the arc plate, it is transported to the support plate by the arc bottom plate, and then enters the feeding guide rail to queue for processing. If the electrode cap is in a horizontal state after turning over the arc plate, since the arc bottom plate is inclined outward, the electrode cap in the horizontal state rolls through the rectangular recovery hole at the bottom of the arc baffle to the concave enclosure plate for recovery. When the support plate is full of electrode caps, since the support plate and the arc bottom plate are misaligned, the electrode cap on the arc bottom plate passes over the side of the electrode cap on the support plate and then falls into the concave enclosure plate for recovery, thereby preventing too many electrode caps from gathering on the arc bottom plate and finally accumulating too much and falling to the outside.

[0018] The utility model is specifically introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment is an electrode cap feeding device, comprising a vibration seat 100, a vibration mechanism 200, and a material selection mechanism 300. The vibration seat 100 is arranged at the top of the workbench 101. The vibration mechanism 200 comprises a vibration plate 201 arranged at the top of the vibration seat 100. A shroud 202 is arranged at the middle of the top of the vibration plate 201. The shroud 202 is spiral. A spiral feed plate 203 is arranged on the inner wall of the shroud 202. The top of the spiral feed plate 203 is flush with the outermost end of the shroud 202. The material selection mechanism 300 comprises an arc plate 301 arranged on one side of the top of the spiral feed plate 203. The bottom end of the arc plate 301 is connected to an arc bottom plate 302 inclined outwardly. The outer side of the top of the arc bottom plate 302 is vertically arranged An arc-shaped baffle plate 303 is provided, a rectangular recovery hole 303a is provided at the lower part of the arc-shaped baffle plate 303, a support plate 304 with the same inclination angle is smoothly provided on the side of the arc-shaped bottom plate 302, the support plate 304 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 302 are staggered and connected, an L-shaped enclosure plate 305 is provided on the outer side of the top end of the support plate 304, a feed recovery port 202a is provided at the bottom end of the enclosure plate 202 corresponding to the support plate 304, a concave enclosure plate 306 is provided on the outer side of the feed recovery port 202a, one side of the middle part of the support plate 304, the arc-shaped plate 301 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 302 are all located directly above the concave enclosure plate 306, and the ends of the support plate 304 and the L-shaped enclosure plate 305 are in close contact with the feed end gap of the feeding guide rail 307.
[0020] A plurality of electrode caps are placed in the middle area inside the enclosure 202. The vibration effect generated by the vibration seat 100 transports the electrode cap upward along the spiral conveying plate 203. The electrode cap at the top of the spiral conveying plate 203 turns over the curved plate 301 for posture adjustment. If the electrode cap that turns over the curved plate 301 is placed on the curved bottom plate 302 in a vertical state, the electrode cap moves to the support plate 304 under the guidance of the curved baffle 303, and then the electrode cap on the support plate 304 enters the feeding guide rail 307 under the guidance of the L-shaped enclosure 305 to wait for feeding. If the electrode cap that turns over the curved plate 301 is placed on the curved bottom plate 302 in a horizontal state, since the curved bottom plate 302 is inclined outward, the electrode cap in the horizontal state is moved by the curved baffle 303. The rectangular recovery hole 303a at the bottom rolls down to the area enclosed by the concave enclosure 306 and the enclosure 202 and enters the middle area inside the enclosure 202 from the feed recovery port 202a for further recovery. If the external processing equipment cooperating with the feeding guide 307 processes the electrode caps too slowly or stops processing, the electrode caps on the support plate 304 and the feeding guide 307 are always in a queue waiting state. Since the support plate 304 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 302 are misaligned and connected, the electrode caps in the vertical state on the arc-shaped bottom plate 302 will continue to move and will pass over the side of the electrode caps on the support plate 304. After that, they will fall into the concave enclosure 306 for recovery because there is no support point, thereby preventing too many electrode caps from gathering on the arc-shaped bottom plate 302 and finally accumulating too much and falling to the outside.
[0021] In this embodiment, the width of the rectangular recovery hole 303a is greater than the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap by 1 mm.
[0022] The electrode cap rolls down from the rectangular recovery hole 303a into the concave enclosure 306 to be recovered.
[0023] In this embodiment, the width of one side of the arc bottom plate 302 close to the support plate 304 is gradually reduced to a width equal to the radius of the electrode cap.
[0024] If there is no electrode cap on the side of the support plate 304 close to the curved bottom plate 302, the electrode cap on the curved bottom plate 302 can be moved from the curved bottom plate 302 to the support plate 304. If there is an electrode cap on the side of the support plate 304 close to the curved bottom plate 302 waiting to enter the feeding guide rail 307, the electrode cap on the curved bottom plate 302 will be blocked by the side wall of the electrode cap on the support plate 304 when it moves to the junction of the curved bottom plate 302 and the support plate 304, and the width of the curved bottom plate 302 gradually narrows, so that the electrode cap lacks support and falls into the concave enclosure 306 for recovery.
[0025] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped material guide plate 202b is arranged between one side of the feed recovery port 202a and one end of the interior of the enclosure 202 and the inner wall of the concave enclosure 306, and a material blocking plate 202c is inclinedly arranged on the other side of the feed recovery port 202a.
[0026] The electrode cap in the concave enclosure 306 enters the inner area of the enclosure 202 through the feed recovery port 202a under the guidance of the arc-shaped guide plate 202b to be reloaded. The baffle plate 202c inclined at the other side of the feed recovery port 202a can prevent the electrode cap inside the enclosure 202 from entering the concave enclosure 306 through the feed recovery port 202a.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the support plate 304 is disposed on the top of the side wall of the concave enclosure 306 through the first support block 304a, and the bottom end of the feeding guide rail 307 is disposed on the top of the workbench 101 through the second support block 307a.
[0028] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped material selection plate 308 is disposed on the inner wall of the enclosure 202, and the straight-line distance between the bottom end of the arc-shaped material selection plate 308 and the spiral feed plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times of the diameter of the electrode cap.
[0029] Since the straight-line distance between the bottom end of the arc-shaped material selection plate 308 and the spiral material conveying plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times of the diameter of the electrode cap, if two electrode caps overlap, the arc-shaped material selection plate 308 can block the upper electrode cap to prevent the two electrode caps from simultaneously flipping over the arc plate 301 and entering the arc bottom plate 302, causing too many electrode caps to be crowded on the arc bottom plate 302 in a short period of time, thereby affecting the transportation efficiency of the electrode caps on the arc bottom plate 302.
[0030] In this embodiment, the width of the spiral conveying plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap.
[0031] Since the width of the spiral conveying plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap, it is possible to avoid the situation where two electrode caps are transported side by side through the spiral conveying plate 203 and then go over the curved plate 301 and enter the curved bottom plate 302, causing too many electrode caps to be crowded on the curved bottom plate 302 in a short period of time, thereby affecting the transportation efficiency of the electrode caps on the curved bottom plate 302.
[0032] Working principle: A plurality of electrode caps are placed in the middle area of the enclosure 202. The vibration effect generated by the vibration seat 100 transports the electrode caps upward along the spiral conveying plate 203. Since the straight-line distance between the bottom end of the arc-shaped material selection plate 308 and the spiral conveying plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap and the width of the spiral conveying plate 203 is between 1 and 2 times the diameter of the middle part of the electrode cap, it is avoided that two electrode caps overlap or are transported side by side by the spiral conveying plate 203, and it is prevented that two electrode caps simultaneously turn over the arc plate 301 and enter the arc bottom plate 302 to cause In a short period of time, there are too many electrode caps crowded on the arc bottom plate 302, which affects the transportation efficiency of the electrode caps on the arc bottom plate 302. After the electrode cap at the top of the spiral feeding plate 203 turns over the arc plate 301 to adjust its posture, if the electrode cap that turns over the arc plate 301 is placed on the arc bottom plate 302 in a vertical state, the electrode cap moves to the support plate 304 through the arc bottom plate 302 under the guidance of the arc baffle plate 303. The electrode cap on the support plate 304 enters the feeding guide rail 307 under the guidance of the L-shaped enclosure plate 305 to queue up and wait for feeding. The electrode caps are placed on the arc bottom plate 302 in a horizontal position. Since the arc bottom plate 302 is tilted outward, the electrode caps in the horizontal position roll down to the area surrounded by the concave enclosure 306 and the enclosure 202 through the rectangular recovery hole 303a at the lower part of the arc baffle plate 303. The electrode caps are guided by the arc guide plate 202b through the feed recovery port 202a to the inner area of the enclosure 202 for re-transportation. If the external processing equipment coordinated with the feeding guide rail 307 processes the electrode caps too slowly or stops processing, the electrode caps on the support plate 304 and the feeding guide rail 307 are always in the discharge position. The arc bottom plate 302 is in a waiting state. Since the support plate 304 and the arc bottom plate 302 are staggered and connected, and the width of the arc bottom plate 302 on one side close to the support plate 304 gradually shrinks to a width equal to the radius of the electrode cap, the electrode cap on the arc bottom plate 302 is blocked by the side wall of the electrode cap on the support plate 304 when it moves to the junction of the arc bottom plate 302 and the support plate 304, and since the width of the arc bottom plate 302 gradually narrows, the electrode cap lacks support and falls into the concave enclosure 306 to be recovered, thereby preventing too many electrode caps from gathering on the arc bottom plate 302 and finally accumulating too much and falling to the outside.

Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
