Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, in particular to a vertical feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, automatic or semi-automatic loading has become a trend, such as vertical loading. Vertical loading means that the material falls vertically onto the conveyor track and then moves forward on the conveyor track to realize the material loading process.

[0003] At present, the vertical loading device includes: a silo and a conveyor track. The silo is located above the conveyor track. The conveying process of this method is that multiple materials to be loaded are stacked and stored in the silo in sequence, and multiple materials fall vertically and freely onto the conveyor track in sequence, and then are transported forward by the conveyor track. However, since there is no barrier mechanism in the silo, during the vertical loading process, the materials are always in contact with the conveyor track, and multiple materials will be loaded in sequence. It is impossible to control the loading time interval of multiple materials, which will affect the subsequent material processing operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: in order to solve the technical problem that the existing vertical feeding device cannot control the feeding time interval of two adjacent materials, the present invention provides a vertical feeding device, which can control the feeding time interval of two adjacent materials by improving the structure of the vertical feeding device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a vertical loading device, comprising: a conveying track, a silo and a cylinder, the conveying track is used to convey materials, the silo is located above the conveying track, and the silo is used to store a plurality of the materials, the cylinder is located between the conveying track and the silo, and the cylinder is used to block the materials; wherein: when the telescopic end of the cylinder is in an extended state, the materials abut against the telescopic end of the cylinder, the materials do not contact the conveying track, and the cylinder can block the materials; when the telescopic end of the cylinder is in a shortened state, the materials abut against the conveying track, and the conveying track can convey the materials.

[0006] Therefore, during the vertical loading process of materials, the vertical loading of each material can be blocked by the telescopic movement of the telescopic end of the cylinder. Compared with the existing vertical loading method in which materials directly fall vertically onto the conveying track, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The loading time interval between two adjacent materials can be controlled by adjusting the telescopic state of the cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes: a push plate, which is installed on the telescopic end of the cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the push plate comprises a horizontal section and a vertical section, the horizontal section being connected to the vertical section, which in turn is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. Thus, the horizontal section is used to place materials, thereby achieving material isolation; while the vertical section, in conjunction with the cylinder, can push materials to move and, by pushing the horizontal section, achieves both conveying the current material and blocking the next material.

[0009] Furthermore, the silo is provided with a through hole, and the material is stored in the through hole, thereby ensuring that the material falls onto the conveying track and the push plate under the action of gravity.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the through hole is d1, and the diameter of the material is d2; wherein: Therefore, d1>d2 can ensure that the material is placed in the silo and can perform vertical free fall movement in the silo; (i.e. the distance between the inner circumference of the through hole and the outer circumference of the material does not exceed 2mm), which can ensure that when the cylinder pushes the current material to be transported, the next material and the material above the next material will not be stuck on the inner wall of the silo, thereby ensuring that subsequent materials can perform vertical free fall motion.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end surface of the silo is flush with the upper end surface of the horizontal section, thereby ensuring that when the material is blocked, the material will not exceed the range of the silo, so as not to affect the subsequent vertical loading of the material.

[0012] Furthermore, when the material contacts the conveyor track, the lower end surface of the silo, the upper end surface of the horizontal section, and the upper end surface of the material are all flush. Thus, during the vertical loading of the current material, the next material is blocked, and there is no time difference between the movements of two adjacent materials.

[0013] Furthermore, the conveying track is arranged along the X-axis direction, and the silo is arranged along the Z-axis direction. Thus, a vertical loading mode of materials can be achieved.

[0014] Furthermore, the machine further comprises a controller, wherein the conveying track and the cylinder are both connected to the controller, so that the start and stop of the conveying track and the cylinder can be controlled by the controller, thereby controlling the vertical loading process of the material.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes: a bracket, which is installed at the bottom of the conveying track.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] During the vertical loading process of materials, the telescopic movement of the telescopic end of the cylinder can block the vertical loading of each material. Compared with the existing vertical loading method in which materials directly fall vertically onto the conveyor track, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The loading time interval between two adjacent materials can be controlled by adjusting the telescopic state of the cylinder. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The vertical loading device of this embodiment includes: a conveyor track 1, a silo 3, and a cylinder 4. The conveyor track 1 is used to convey material 2. The silo 3 is located above the conveyor track 1 and is used to store multiple materials 2. The cylinder 4 is located between the conveyor track 1 and the silo 3 and is used to block the materials 2. When the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 is in an extended state, the material 2 abuts the telescopic end of the cylinder 4, the material 2 does not contact the conveyor track 1, and the cylinder 4 can block the material 2. When the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 is in a shortened state, the material 2 abuts the conveyor track 1, and the conveyor track 1 can transport the material 2. Thus, during the vertical loading process of the material 2, the telescopic movement of the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 can block the vertical loading of each material 2. Compared with the existing vertical loading method in which the material 2 directly falls vertically onto the conveyor track 1, this method is simple in structure and easy to operate. The time interval between the loading of two adjacent materials 2 can be controlled by adjusting the telescopic state of the cylinder 4.

[0030] In other words, material 2 will be processed at multiple work positions on the conveyor track 1. Although the vertical loading process of material 2 can be controlled by controlling the start and stop of the conveyor track 1, the processing time of different materials 2 is inconsistent, and the processing time of each work position is also inconsistent. Therefore, relying solely on the start and stop of the conveyor track 1 will cause material 2 to accumulate at a certain work position on the conveyor track 1. Therefore, by blocking the loading, the loading time interval of two adjacent materials 2 is controlled at the initial position of vertical loading, which can avoid the accumulation of material 2 at a certain work position on the conveyor track 1. In this way, the vertical loading method of controlling the loading time interval of two adjacent materials 2 will not affect the subsequent processing of material 2.

[0031] Specifically, during the vertical loading process of material 2, in the initial stage, both the conveying track 1 and the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 move. At this time, the material 2 will move under the support of the two. After the movement of the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 stops, the material 2 will only move under the action of the conveying track 1.

[0032] This embodiment further includes a push plate 5 mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder 4. The push plate 5 comprises a horizontal section 501 and a vertical section 502. The horizontal section 501 is connected to the vertical section 502, which is then connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 4. Thus, the horizontal section 501 is used to place the material 2, thereby achieving separation of the material 2. The vertical section 502, in conjunction with the cylinder 4, can push the material 2 to move and, by pushing the horizontal section 501 to move, achieves the conveyance of the current material 2 and the separation of the next material 2.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 、 5 As shown, since the cylinder 4 controls the movement of the horizontal section 501 and the vertical section 502 to be executed synchronously, when the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 switches from the extended state to the shortened state, the current material 2 just falls in front of the vertical section 502. When the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 switches from the shortened state to the extended state, the current material 2 just is pushed out of the silo 3, and the next material 2 just is blocked by the horizontal section 501.

[0034] In this embodiment, the silo 3 is provided with a through hole 301, and the material 2 is stored in the through hole 301. Thus, it is ensured that the material 2 falls onto the conveying track 1 and the push plate 5 under the action of gravity.

[0035] In this embodiment, the diameter of the through hole 301 is d1, and the diameter of the material 2 is d2; wherein: Therefore, d1>d2 can ensure that the material 2 is placed in the silo 3 and can perform vertical free fall movement in the silo 3; (i.e. the distance between the inner circumference of the through hole 301 and the outer circumference of the material 2 does not exceed 2 mm), which can ensure that when the cylinder 4 pushes the current material 2 to be transported, the next material 2 and the material 2 above the next material 2 will not be stuck on the inner wall of the silo 3, thereby ensuring that the subsequent materials 2 can perform vertical free fall motion.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end of the hopper 3 is flush with the upper end of the horizontal section 501. When the material 2 contacts the conveyor track 1, the lower end of the hopper 3, the upper end of the horizontal section 501, and the upper end of the material 2 are all flush. This ensures that when the material 2 is blocked, it will not exceed the range of the hopper 3, thus not affecting the vertical loading of subsequent materials 2. While the current material 2 is being vertically loaded, the next material 2 is blocked, thus preventing any time difference between the movements of two adjacent materials 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the conveying track 1 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and the silo 3 is arranged along the Z-axis direction. In this way, a vertical loading method of the material 2 can be achieved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the machine further comprises a controller 6, and the conveying track 1 and the cylinder 4 are both connected to the controller 6. Thus, the controller 6 can control the start and stop of the conveying track 1 and the start and stop of the cylinder 4, and further control the vertical loading process of the material 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, it further includes: a bracket 7 , which is installed at the bottom of the conveying track 1 .

[0040] The vertical feeding process of the material of the utility model is:

[0041] First, if Figure 4 As shown, multiple materials 2 to be transported are placed in the silo 3, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 4 is shortened, so that the material 2 at the bottom abuts against the transport track 1; step S1

[0042] Then, if Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the controller 6 controls the start and stop of the conveying track 1 and the start and stop of the cylinder 4 to control the material 2 in contact with the conveying track 1 and to block the next material 2 of the current conveying material 2; step S2

[0043] Finally, step S2 is repeated multiple times to realize vertical loading of multiple materials 2 and to control the loading time interval between two adjacent materials 2 .

[0044] To sum up, in the vertical loading process of material 2, the present invention can block the vertical loading of each material 2 through the telescopic movement of the telescopic end of the cylinder 4. Compared with the existing vertical loading method in which the material 2 directly falls vertically and freely onto the conveying track 1, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. By adjusting the telescopic state of the cylinder 4, the loading time interval between two adjacent materials 2 can be controlled.

[0045] The above description is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
