[0023] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Combined with attachment Figure 1-5 A feeder for roller parts feeds roller parts, and the roller parts are of a truncated cone structure, which is a variable diameter truncated cone structure. The roller parts are ring-like parts, and a variable diameter circular hole is provided at the center of the roller parts. The variable diameter circular hole in the center of the roller parts corresponds to the overall variable diameter of the roller parts. The variable diameter shape of the roller parts and the cross-section of the variable diameter center circular hole in the center are both trapezoidal, that is, the diameter of the circular surface at one end is smaller than the diameter of the circular surface at the other end, and the centers of the circular surfaces at both ends are located on the same straight line.
[0026] It includes a loading part 10 and an adjusting part 50. The loading part 10 is used to transport the roller parts one by one to the adjusting part 50. The adjusting part 50 is used to transport the roller parts vertically, that is, the circular surfaces at both ends of the roller parts are on the left and right sides instead of the upper and lower end surfaces, so that the roller parts can roll.
[0027] The loading part 10 is composed of a step loader 11 and a conveyor belt 12. The step loader 11 transports the roller parts to the conveyor belt 12, and arranges the roller parts evenly, and makes the roller parts on the conveyor belt 12 in a circular state with the upper and lower end faces, which is convenient for the subsequent adjustment part 50 to operate on the roller parts.
[0028] The step loader 11 consists of a silo 14 and several lifting steps 13 located on the side of the silo 14. The lifting steps 13 transport roller parts from the bottom of the silo 14 to the conveyor belt 12 at the top of the lifting steps 13 through cyclic alternating lifting.
[0029] The silo 14 is tilted toward the side where the lifting ladder 13 is located, so that the roller parts inside the silo 14 can converge toward the position of the lifting ladder 13, so that the roller parts can be driven by the lifting ladder 13 without the roller parts being out of contact with the lifting ladder 13.
[0030] The lifting ladder 13 is multi-stage, and its working principle is as follows: when there are roller parts on the first lifting ladder, which is initially located at the bottom, the first lifting ladder rises to transport the roller parts to the upper limit position of the first lifting ladder. At this time, the initial position of the second lifting ladder is the upper limit position of the first lifting ladder, and the first lifting ladder is inclined toward the second lifting ladder, and the top surface of the first lifting ladder is slightly higher than the top surface of the second lifting ladder. At this time, since the first lifting ladder is inclined toward the second lifting ladder, the roller parts located on the first lifting ladder are re- The second-stage lifting ladder is moved to the end face of the second-stage lifting ladder under the influence of the force. At this time, the second-stage lifting ladder rises to the limit position. The limit position of the second-stage lifting ladder is the initial position of the third-stage lifting ladder, and the second-stage lifting ladder is inclined toward the third-stage lifting ladder, and the top surface of the second-stage lifting ladder is slightly higher than the top surface of the third-stage lifting ladder. At this time, the roller parts on the second-stage lifting ladder move to the top surface of the third-stage lifting ladder, and so on, until the roller parts at the bottom are transported to the conveyor belt 12 at the top of the ladder loader 11 through the continuous lifting of several stages of the lifting ladder.
[0031] At the same time, when the second-stage lifting ladder rises, the first-stage lifting ladder descends back to its initial position, so that the roller parts at the bottom of the silo 14 can move to the top surface of the first-stage lifting ladder and be driven up again by the first-stage lifting ladder, thereby realizing circular material transportation.
[0032] A return channel 15 is provided on the side wall of the step loader 11 on the same side as the lifting step 13. The bottom of the return channel 15 is connected to the hopper 14. The return channel 15 is used to push the roller parts that do not conform to the placement state on the conveyor belt 12 into the return channel 15, so that the roller parts return to the hopper 14 so that the lifting step 13 can adjust its posture and move it back to the conveyor belt 12.
[0033] A detection block 16 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 12 path. The position of the detection block 16 is set corresponding to the return channel 15. The detection block 16 is used to push the roller parts that are not placed on the torus on the conveyor belt 12 back into the hopper 14 through the return channel 15. The structure of the detection block 16 is a gradually convex component, and the structure of its protruding surface must be an inclined straight line, preferably a conical or triangular part, etc. The height of the detection block 16 is set to be when the roller parts are placed on the torus up and down, they can be smoothly taken away from the bottom of the detection block 16 by the conveyor belt 12 to At the end of the conveyor belt 12, when the annular surfaces of the roller parts are located on both sides and the roller parts are placed vertically, since the height of the roller parts when placed vertically is higher than the height when the annular surfaces of the roller parts are on the upper and lower sides, the height of the detection block 16 is set so that when the roller parts are placed vertically, the roller parts will contact the detection block 16. At this time, due to the convex structure of the detection block 16, as the conveyor belt 12 continues to move with the vertical roller parts, the detection block 16 will push the vertical roller parts into the return channel 15, so that they return to the silo 14.
[0034] The end of the conveyor belt 12 away from the lifting ladder 13 is connected to the adjustment part 50, and the adjustment part 50 as a whole is composed of a first push rod 53 and a first pushing device 54 that drives the first push rod 53, a second push rod 57 and a second pushing device 56 that drives the second push rod 57, a conical insertion head 59 and a third pushing device 58 that drives the conical insertion head 59, a transport plate 65 and a transport plate pushing device 66 that drives the transport plate 65, a sliding outlet 62, a slide rail channel 63, and an arc-shaped baffle 64.
[0035] A blocking block 51 is provided on the end of the conveyor belt 12 away from the lifting ladder 13, and a contact sensor 52 is fixedly installed on the blocking block 51. The contact sensor 52 is used to block the roller parts when the conveyor belt 12 transports the roller parts to its end, so that the roller parts on the conveyor belt 12 slide on the conveyor belt 12, and the blocking block 51 blocks them and maintains them at the position of the end of the conveyor belt 12, and at this time, all the roller parts on the conveyor belt 12 are blocked and arranged in sequence.
[0036] The conveyor belt 12 is provided with a blocking block 51, and one side of the two side surfaces of one end thereof is provided with a first push rod 53 and a first pushing device 54 that drives the first push rod 53, and the other side is a pushing opening. The first push rod 53 is extended and retracted through the first pushing device 54. When the first push rod 53 is extended, the roller-like parts on the conveyor belt 12 are pushed out from the pushing opening.
[0037] When designing the first push rod 53, it should be noted that after the first push rod 53 is extended, the first push rod 53 pushes the first roller-like part located at the end of the conveyor belt 12. At this time, the second roller-like part arranged on the side of the first roller-like part will not enter the rod structure of the first push rod 53. Moreover, when the first push rod 53 is retracted, the first push rod 53 will not carry the second roller-like part to the side away from the material pushing outlet.
[0038] The structure of the first push rod 53 is preferably composed of a push block and a connecting rod of the same width, and the push block is fixedly connected to the connecting rod that is connected to the first pushing device. The connecting rod is set at the height of the push block for pushing the roller-like parts, so that when the connecting rod extends the push block, the connecting rod can block the second roller-like parts, so that when the first push rod 53 is extended and retracted, it will not drive the second roller-like parts to move. When the first push rod 53 is retracted, the second roller-like parts move to the end position of the conveyor belt 12, thereby becoming the new first roller-like parts.
[0039] A support frame 55 is provided on one side of the push outlet and at a position corresponding to the push outlet. The support frame 55 is used to install the second pushing device 56 and the third pushing device 58. The second pushing device 56 and the third pushing device 58 are arranged vertically, so that the second push rod 57 connected to the second pushing device 56 and the conical insertion head 59 installed on the third pushing device 58 are in different directions when extending. The second pushing device 56 drives the second push rod 57 to extend or retract horizontally, and the third pushing device 58 drives the conical insertion head 59 to extend and retract vertically. The second push rod 57 is perpendicular to and intersects with the extension line of the movement path of the conical insertion head 59.
[0040] A feedback sensor 61 is provided on the third pushing device 58, and the conical insertion head 59 is used to judge the state of the roller parts. By cooperating with the conical insertion head 59 and the feedback sensor 61, it is determined whether the roller parts are placed with the large diameter part facing upward or the small diameter part facing upward, so as to perform different subsequent operations.
[0041] Since the center circular hole of the roller-type parts corresponds to the roller-type parts as a whole, the depth of the tapered insertion head 59 inserted into the center circular hole of the roller-type parts can be used to determine whether the center circular hole of the roller-type parts is facing upward with the large diameter part or the small diameter part. Since the tapered insertion head 59 is a tapered component, when the center circular hole is facing upward with the large diameter part, the tapered insertion head 59 will be inserted deeper into the roller-type parts than when the center circular hole is facing upward with the small diameter part. The feedback sensor 61 is preferably a distance sensor.
[0042] The insertion depth of the tapered insertion head 59 is determined by the feedback sensor 61, thereby determining the placement state of the roller parts and determining whether the large diameter part or the small diameter part of the roller parts is facing upward.
[0043] A limiting plate 60 is provided on the side of the support frame 55, and the limiting plate 60 is arranged corresponding to the pushing outlet. After the first push rod 53 pushes the roller-like parts out, it is pushed into the position of the limiting plate 60. The limiting plate 60 limits the roller-like parts to the working position of the second push rod 57 and the conical insertion head 59, so that the second push rod 57 and the conical insertion head 59 can operate them.
[0044] When in use, the third pushing device 58 first drives the conical insertion head 59 to descend, and the conical insertion head 59 descends and is inserted into the central ring of the roller-like parts. When the conical insertion head 59 descends to the extreme position, the feedback sensor 61 determines the placement status of the roller-like parts located in the limit plate 60, and drives the second pushing device 56 to open, thereby pushing the roller-like parts into the next process through the second push rod 57.
[0045] A sliding outlet 62 is provided on the side of the working direction of the second push rod 57, and a slide rail channel 63 is provided on the lower side of the sliding outlet 62. Roller parts slide into the slide rail channel 63 through the sliding outlet 62, and an arc-shaped baffle 64 is connected between the slide rail channel 63 and the sliding outlet 62.
[0046] A transport plate 65 is provided on the side of the sliding outlet 62 away from the limiting plate 60. The transport plate 65 is fixed on the transport plate pushing device 66. The transport pushing device 66 drives the transport plate 65 to extend and retract. When the transport plate 65 is extended, it passes through the sliding outlet 62. When the transport plate 65 is extended, it covers the sliding outlet 62 and arrives at the side of the sliding outlet 62 located at the limiting plate 60. When the transport plate 65 is extended, the transport plate 65 covers the sliding outlet 62. When the second push rod 57 is extended, the second push rod 57 pushes the roller-like parts onto the transport plate 65.
[0047] A clamping plate 67 is fixedly provided on one side of the sliding opening 62 located on the transport plate 65 .
[0048] When the roller parts are detected to be placed on the limiting plate 60, the transport plate is selectively used according to the different placement states of the roller parts. The transport plate pushing device 66 is electrically connected to the feedback sensor 61, and the feedback sensor 61 controls the transport plate pushing device 66 to start.
[0049] The usage logic of transport plate 65 is:
[0050] For example, when the roller parts flowing in the slide rail channel 63 need to have the large diameter part on the side of the limit plate 60 and the small diameter part on the side of the transport plate 65,
[0051] The first push rod 53 pushes the roller part to the position of the limit plate 60. At this time, the third pushing device 58 descends, driving the conical insertion head 59 to descend and insert it into the central circular hole of the roller part. The feedback sensor 61 determines whether the large diameter part or the small diameter part of the roller part is facing upward based on the movement of the conical insertion head 59.
[0052] When the roller-like parts of the limiting plate 60 have the small diameter part facing upward, the transport plate 65 does not move, the slide outlet 62 is in an open state, the second pushing device 56 drives the second push rod 57 to open, and the second push rod 57 pushes the roller-like parts with the small diameter part facing upward to move, and the roller-like parts with the small diameter part facing upward enter the slide outlet 62. At this time, the roller-like parts with the small diameter part facing upward slide down along the arc-shaped baffle 64 located on one side of the limiting plate 60 in the slide outlet 62 and enter the slide rail channel 63. At this time, the state of the roller-like parts with the small diameter part facing upward located in the slide rail channel 63 is that the roller-like parts are located in the slide rail channel 63 and slide out with the small diameter part of the roller-like parts facing the transport plate 65 side.
[0053] When the roller parts of the limiting plate 60 are facing upward with the large diameter part, the feedback sensor 61 controls the transport plate pushing device 66 to open, and the transport plate pushing device 66 drives the transport plate 65 to extend. At this time, the transport plate 65 passes through and covers the sliding port 62, and the second pushing device 56 is opened. The second pushing device 56 drives the second push rod 57 to push the roller parts with the large diameter part facing upward on the limiting plate 60 onto the transport plate 65. After the roller parts are on the transport plate 65, the transport plate pushing device 66 drives the transport plate 65 to retract, and the transport plate 65 drives the large diameter part When the partially upward-facing roller parts are retracted, they come into contact with the card plate 67 located on one side of the transport plate 65. The card plate 67 pushes the roller parts with the large diameter parts facing upwards off the transport plate 65. The roller parts with the large diameter parts facing upwards now enter the slide outlet 62 and slide down along the arc-shaped baffle 64 located on one side of the transport plate 65 and enter the slide rail channel 63. At this time, the state of the roller parts with the large diameter parts facing upwards in the slide rail channel 63 is that the roller parts are located in the slide rail channel 63 and slide out with the large diameter parts of the roller parts facing the side of the limit plate 60.
[0054] In summary, after the roller parts enter the slide rail channel 63 in the above manner, the roller parts will slide out of the slide rail channel 63 in sequence in the same state, which is convenient for direct use by subsequent equipment.
[0055] The usage method of the roller parts with the large diameter part sliding out on one side of the transport plate 65 and the small diameter part sliding out on one side of the limit plate 60 is the same as the principle of the above method. It is only necessary to change the timing of the feedback sensor 61 to control the opening of the transport plate pushing device 66. When the large diameter part of the roller parts of the limit plate 60 is facing upward, the transport plate pushing device 66 is turned on, and the roller parts can be made to slide out in the slide rail channel 63 with the large diameter part on one side of the transport plate 65 and the small diameter part on one side of the limit plate 60.
[0056] The pushing device in the above technical solution is a conventional power component, preferably a cylinder, which can realize the extension and retraction of its respective mounting components.
[0057] A control cabinet can be designed on the feeder for independent control of various components. A power unit is designed at the bottom of the lifting ladder 13 to realize the movement of the lifting ladder 13. The power unit can be an independent gas rod or a cylinder with a connecting rod structure.
[0058] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
