Specific embodiments

[0023] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more clear and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model provides a feeder, and its structure is as Figure 1 - Figure 3 shown, including a blanking mechanism 1 and a material control mechanism 2.

[0025] The blanking mechanism 1 includes a blanking bin 11, a transition bin 12, a material guiding bin 13 and a receiving tray 14. The outlet of the blanking bin 11 is communicated with the inlet of the transition bin 12, and the blanking bin 11 and the transition bin 12 are integrally arranged. The outlet of the transition bin 12 is communicated with the inlet of the material guiding bin 13, and the outlet of the material guiding bin 13 is communicated with the inlet of the receiving tray 14.

[0026] The material control mechanism 2 includes a blanking tray 21 arranged in the material guiding bin 13. A gap is preset between the blanking tray 21 and the material guiding bin 13. A blanking ring 22 is slidably connected above the blanking tray 21 in the blanking bin 11. Both ends of the blanking ring 22 are open. An adjusting component 3 for adjusting the height of the blanking ring 22 is arranged in the blanking bin 11.

[0027] During use, when feeding materials, the materials enter the transition bin 12 from the feeding bin 11, then enter the material guiding bin 13 through the transition bin 12, and finally reach the receiving tray 14. A gap is preset between the material feeding tray 21 in the material guiding bin 13 and the material guiding bin 13. During the falling process of the materials, a certain degree of flow control is achieved through this gap. The material feeding ring 22 in the feeding bin 11 can slide up and down through the adjusting assembly 3. When it is necessary to adjust the feeding speed or flow rate, the adjusting assembly 3 changes the height of the material feeding ring 22. When the position of the material feeding ring 22 is lower, it limits the amount of materials entering the material feeding tray 21, thereby reducing the feeding speed; when the position of the material feeding ring 22 is higher, more materials can enter the material feeding tray 21, increasing the feeding speed.

[0028] In the present utility model, through the height adjustment of the material feeding ring 22 and the gap cooperation between the material feeding tray 21 and the material guiding bin 13, the feeding speed and flow rate of the materials can be accurately controlled to meet different production requirements. It avoids production problems caused by excessive or insufficient feeding, and improves the stability and efficiency of production. At the same time, the orderly feeding process helps to reduce material waste and dust, and improves the working environment.

[0029] For the convenience of loading and unloading, please refer to Figure 1 , in a preferred embodiment, the feeding bin 11 is in a funnel shape.

[0030] During use, the upper opening of the funnel-shaped feeding bin 11 is larger, and the lower opening gradually shrinks. This shape enables the materials to naturally gather towards the outlet under the action of gravity. The larger upper opening facilitates the input and storage of a large amount of materials, and the materials can enter the feeding bin 11 more easily. As the feeding bin 11 gradually narrows downwards, the constraint on the materials gradually increases, and their flow direction becomes more concentrated, which is conducive to the smooth flow of the materials towards the outlet, reducing the blockage and accumulation of materials in the bin. The funnel-shaped design can also utilize the gravity and mutual extrusion of the materials themselves to promote the orderly flow of the materials, improving the feeding efficiency and stability.

[0031] To adjust the height of the material feeding ring 22, please refer to Figure 2 , in a preferred embodiment, the adjusting assembly 3 includes a rotating rod 31 rotatably connected in the feeding bin 11. The rotating rod 31 extends along the radial direction of the feeding bin 11. The rotating rod 31 includes two first rod bodies 311 rotatably connected to the feeding bin 11. A second rod body 312 is provided between the two first rod bodies 311. The second rod body 312 is non-axisymmetric with the first rod bodies 311. A support rod 32 is provided on the material feeding ring 22. The support rod 32 extends along the axial direction of the material feeding ring 22. A support plate 33 is provided at the top of the support rod 32. A through hole 34 is provided on the support plate 33. The second rod body 312 passes through the through hole 34. A fixing assembly 4 for fixing the rotating rod 31 is provided on the feeding bin 11.

[0032] In use, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the blanking ring 22, operate the fixing component 4 to release the fixation of the rotating rod 31. Then rotate the rotating rod 31. Since the rotating rod 31 includes a first rod body 311 rotatably connected to the blanking bin 11 coaxially and a second rod body 312 non-coaxial with the first rod body 311, the second rod body 312 passes through the through hole 34 on the support plate 33. When the rotating rod 31 rotates, the position of the second rod body 312 changes. Since the second rod body 312 is not coaxial with the first rod body 311, its movement trajectory will drive the support plate 33 to move up and down. The support plate 33 is connected to the blanking ring 22 through the support rod 32, so that the blanking ring 22 slides up and down along the inner wall of the blanking bin 11, realizing the adjustment of the height of the blanking ring 22. After adjusting to the appropriate position, fix the rotating rod 31 again through the fixing component 4 to keep the position of the blanking ring 22 stable, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the blanking speed.

[0033] To improve the stability of the sliding of the support plate 33, please refer to Figure 2 , in a preferred embodiment, a guide cylinder 35 is provided on the circumference of the support plate 33 in the blanking bin 11, and a preset gap is provided between the support plate 33 and the guide cylinder 35.

[0034] In use, when the rotating rod 31 is rotated to adjust the height of the blanking ring 22, the support plate 33 moves up and down as the rotating rod 31 rotates. During the movement of the support plate 33, the guide cylinder 35 on its circumference plays a guiding and limiting role. The guide cylinder 35 restricts the support plate 33 to move only within a predetermined range in the vertical direction, preventing the support plate 33 from shaking during the movement, ensuring that the blanking ring 22 can slide up and down smoothly, and thus accurately adjusting the height of the blanking ring 22. At the same time, the preset gap between the support plate 33 and the guide cylinder 35 enables the support plate 33 to move smoothly within the guide cylinder 35 and will not hinder the adjustment action due to excessive friction.

[0035] To fix the rotating rod 31, please refer to Figure 3 , in a preferred embodiment, the fixing component 4 includes a clamping block 41 provided at the end of the rotating rod 31, a plurality of clamping grooves 42 for accommodating the clamping block 41 are provided on the blanking bin 11 at intervals along the rotation direction of the rotating rod 31, and a resetting member 43 is provided at the other end of the rotating rod 31.

[0036] During use, when it is necessary to rotate the rotating rod 31 to adjust the height of the blanking ring 22, overcome the acting force of the reset member 43, and move the clamping block 41 at the end of the rotating rod 31 out of the current clamping groove 42. At this time, the rotating rod 31 can be rotated to drive the blanking ring 22 to move up and down for height adjustment. After adjusting to the appropriate position, release the rotating rod 31. Under the action of the reset member 43, the rotating rod 31 has a tendency to automatically reset, so that the clamping block 41 can be clamped into the corresponding clamping groove 42. Since a plurality of clamping grooves 42 are arranged on the upper edge of the blanking bin 11 at intervals along the rotation direction of the rotating rod 31, when the clamping block 41 is clamped into different clamping grooves 42, the rotating rod 31 can be fixed at different rotation positions, thereby realizing the fixing and adjustment of the height of the blanking ring 22.

[0037] To reset the rotating rod 31, please refer to Figure 2 , in a preferred embodiment, the reset member 43 includes a spring sleeved on the rotating rod 31. One end of the spring is connected to the rotating rod 31, and the other end of the spring is connected to the blanking bin 11. The spring is in a compressed state, and the spring makes the clamping block 41 have a tendency to slide towards the clamping groove 42.

[0038] During use, in the initial state, the spring sleeved on the rotating rod 31 is in a compressed state. One end of the spring is connected to the rotating rod 31, and the other end is connected to the blanking bin 11. Since the spring is in a compressed state, it will exert an elastic force on the rotating rod 31, so that the clamping block 41 at the end of the rotating rod 31 always has a tendency to slide towards the clamping groove 42. When the clamping block 41 is manually moved out of the clamping groove 42 and the rotating rod 31 is rotated to adjust the height of the blanking ring 22, the spring is further compressed and stores more elastic potential energy. Once the rotating rod 31 is released, the spring releases the stored elastic potential energy, pushes the rotating rod 31, and makes the clamping block 41 slide towards the clamping groove 42. When the clamping block 41 encounters the corresponding clamping groove 42, under the thrust of the spring, the clamping block 41 is clamped into the clamping groove 42, thereby realizing the automatic reset and fixation of the rotating rod 31, ensuring that the blanking ring 22 can be stably maintained after being adjusted to the appropriate position.

[0039] To facilitate the rotation of the rotating rod 31, please refer to Figure 2 , in a preferred embodiment, a handle 36 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 31.

[0040] During use, the setting of the handle 36 provides an easy-to-apply-force and operate component for the operator. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating rod 31 to adjust the height of the blanking ring 22, the operator holds the handle 36. By applying a rotational force to the handle 36, the rotating rod 31 can be rotated more easily and effectively. The handle 36 increases the length of the force arm, enabling the operator to generate a larger torque with a smaller force, thereby more labor-savingly completing the rotation operation of the rotating rod 31 and realizing the precise adjustment of the height of the blanking ring 22.

[0041] To improve the uniformity of blanking, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a push rod 23 is provided at the bottom of the blanking tray 21, and the push rod 23 extends along the axial direction of the blanking tray 21.

[0042] During use, when the material falls through the blanking tray 21, the push rod 23 will cause a certain interference and dispersion effect on the flow of the material. The push rod 23 extends along the axial direction of the blanking tray 21. During the falling process of the material, it will disrupt the tendency of the material to fall concentratedly, making the material more evenly distributed in the falling space. This helps to avoid local accumulation or concentrated flow of the material during the blanking process, enabling the material to enter the subsequent material guiding bin 13 and receiving tray 14 more evenly, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of blanking and improving the quality and efficiency of the entire blanking process.

[0043] To improve the integration degree of the blanking bin 11, transition bin 12, material guiding bin 13 and receiving tray 14, please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the blanking mechanism 1 further includes a bracket 15, and the blanking bin 11, transition bin 12, material guiding bin 13 and receiving tray 14 are all arranged on the bracket 15.

[0044] During use, the bracket 15 provides a stable support and fixing structure for the blanking bin 11, transition bin 12, material guiding bin 13 and receiving tray 14. First of all, the bracket 15 ensures the relative positions and installation stability of each component in space, preventing the components from shifting or loosening due to vibration or external forces during the blanking process. Secondly, the bracket 15 can bear the weight of the entire blanking mechanism 1 and the pressure of the material, ensuring that the blanking mechanism 1 will not deform or be damaged during operation. Moreover, by installing each component on the bracket 15, an integral blanking system is formed, which is convenient for overall installation, debugging and movement. In practical applications, the entire bracket 15 and the blanking mechanism 1 installed on it can be placed at the appropriate working position at one time, without separately positioning and fixing each component, improving the installation efficiency and accuracy. In short, the bracket 15 provides a stable foundation and reliable guarantee for the normal operation of the blanking mechanism 1.

[0045] To make the block 41 more easily slide into and out of the slot 42, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, an arc chamfer is provided on the circumferential side of the block 41.

[0046] During use, the arc chamfer on the periphery of the clamping block 41 mainly plays a role in the interaction process between the clamping block 41 and the clamping groove 42. When it is necessary to move the clamping block 41 out of the clamping groove 42 to rotate the rotating rod 31, the arc chamfer can reduce the impact force at the moment of contact between the clamping block 41 and the clamping groove 42, making the operation smoother. Due to the presence of the chamfer, the contact area between the clamping block 41 and the edge of the clamping groove 42 gradually increases, dispersing the pressure and reducing wear. During the process of the clamping block 41 being reinserted into the clamping groove 42, the arc chamfer plays a guiding role. It can guide the clamping block 41 to slide into the clamping groove 42 more easily, reducing the situation where the clamping block 41 cannot be smoothly inserted due to misalignment with the clamping groove 42, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of clamping. In addition, the arc chamfer can also reduce the frictional resistance between the clamping block 41 and the clamping groove 42 to a certain extent, making the operation of adjusting the rotating rod 31 easier and more labor-saving.

[0047] To better understand the present invention, the following is a detailed description of the working principle of the technical solution of a feeder of the present invention in conjunction with Figure 1 - Figure 3 During feeding, the material enters the transition bin 12 from the feeding bin 11, then enters the guiding bin 13 through the transition bin 12, and finally reaches the receiving tray 14. A gap is preset between the feeding tray 21 in the guiding bin 13 and the guiding bin 13. During the falling process of the material, a certain degree of flow control is achieved through this gap. The feeding ring 22 in the feeding bin 11 can slide up and down through the adjusting assembly 3. When it is necessary to adjust the feeding speed or flow rate, the adjusting assembly 3 changes the height of the feeding ring 22. When the position of the feeding ring 22 is lower, it restricts the amount of material entering the feeding tray 21, thereby reducing the feeding speed; when the position of the feeding ring 22 is higher, more material can enter the feeding tray 21, increasing the feeding speed.

[0048] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and deformations made according to the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
