[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball processing, and particularly relates to an automatic feeding device for steel ball processing. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the steel ball processing industry, the traditional manual or semi-automatic feeding method has been difficult to meet the high-efficiency and precise production requirements. Therefore, an automatic feeding device has emerged, aiming to improve the feeding efficiency and accuracy through automation and intelligence means, reduce manual intervention, and lower production costs.
[0003] However, the existing technology still has the following problems:
[0004] Firstly, in the traditional steel ball processing feeding process, a significant problem is unstable feeding, which is prone to jams or disordered flow of steel balls. This is often caused by unreasonable design or insufficient driving force. Steel balls may accumulate due to friction, collision or uneven speed during transportation, thus affecting the continuity of the production line and processing efficiency.
[0005] Secondly, the feeding process is an important step in the steel ball processing. However, the traditional manual feeding method has obvious defects. The manual feeding efficiency is low, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed production lines, resulting in an extended production cycle. Moreover, errors are prone to occur during the process, such as inaccurate number of steel balls and inconsistent feeding speed, which will directly affect the quality and stability of subsequent processing steps.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the inventor proposes an automatic feeding device for steel ball processing to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0007] In order to solve the problems of easy jams or disordered flow of steel balls and low efficiency of manual feeding; the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for steel ball processing.
[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an automatic feeding device for steel ball processing, including a housing. An upper feeding mechanism is arranged inside the housing, and the upper feeding mechanism is for facilitating the feeding of steel balls. A feeding mechanism is arranged below the upper feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism is for automatically feeding steel balls. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding disk. A feeding wheel is rotatably arranged on the inner surface of the feeding disk. A plurality of feeding grooves are formed at the upper end of the feeding wheel. A feeding port is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the feeding disk for matching use. A sliding plate is fixedly arranged on one side of the feeding port. A rotating rod is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the feeding wheel. A motor is arranged at the upper end of the rotating rod, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod.
[0009] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding port, the upper end of the feeding port is fixedly provided with a plurality of support rods, the upper ends of the plurality of support rods are fixedly provided with a mounting plate together, the inner surface of the housing is fixedly provided with a feeding cylinder, the outer surface of the feeding cylinder is provided with a plurality of feeding grooves, and a plurality of steel balls are slidably arranged on the inner surfaces of the plurality of feeding grooves.
