Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding equipment, and in particular relates to a step-type feeding device with smooth transportation. Background Art

[0002] Existing material conveying equipment includes equipment that loads materials through a stepped lifting mechanism, each step of which is equipped with a telescopic platform. For example, in some cases, cylindrical materials are placed in a chute and rolled onto the lifting track by gravity. However, some cylindrical materials are perpendicular to the lifting track within the chute. When the cylindrical materials are perpendicular, the tilt direction is aligned with the axis of the material, preventing them from rolling onto the lifting track. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response to the above problems, the present invention discloses a stepped loading device for smooth transportation, characterized in that it comprises: a first conveying track, the first conveying track is provided with a plurality of telescopic platforms, and the plurality of telescopic platforms are arranged in parallel with staggered heights to form a stepped first conveying track; wherein, the telescopic platforms are telescopic along the direction of the first track, and in at least one state, the surfaces of two adjacent telescopic platforms are flush; a second conveying track, the second conveying track is flush with the highest moving position of the telescopic platform at the highest point, and the second conveying track is provided with a conveyor belt; a rolling slope, the lower end of the rolling slope is connected to the bottom of the first conveying track, and when at least one of the telescopic platforms in the first conveying track is in the lowest position, it is flush with the lower end of the rolling slope; wherein, the rolling slope is an arc-shaped slope.

[0004] In some exemplary technical solutions, the telescopic platform includes a first telescopic platform, a second telescopic platform, and a third telescopic platform arranged from low to high; wherein the arc surface of the rolling slope is tangent to the table surface of the first telescopic platform.

[0005] In some exemplary technical solutions, the curvature of the high end portion of the rolling slope is greater than the curvature of the low end portion.

[0006] In some exemplary technical solutions, the device also includes a material discharge fence, which is arranged at the high end of the rolling slope; the material discharge fence is a structure with fences on four sides and openings at the top and bottom; the opening of the material discharge fence facing the rolling slope is a first opening, and the opening on the other side is a second opening.

[0007] In some exemplary technical solutions, an arc-shaped strip extends from the first opening of the discharge fence toward the rolling slope.

[0008] Some exemplary technical solutions further include a control box, in which a driver is provided, and the driver is used to drive the telescopic platform.

[0009] In some exemplary technical solutions, an opening and closing door is provided on one side of the control box.

[0010] In some exemplary technical solutions, the control box has legs.

[0011] The effects are:

[0012] The present invention provides a rolling ramp, particularly in some examples, with a variable curvature. By providing a larger curvature at the upper end of the rolling ramp, the workpiece can quickly gain sufficient momentum upon initial contact and quickly transition into a rolling state. As the workpiece moves downward toward the lower end, the smaller curvature helps gradually stabilize the workpiece's speed. The curved ramp in the present invention ensures that even if the workpiece rolls in the direction of the ramp, it can avoid the problem of the workpiece being unable to roll, resulting in inefficient transportation.

[0013] In addition, the arc-shaped strip of the first opening of the discharge fence provides a smooth and directional guide for the workpiece to enter the rolling slope, while also reducing the impact force when entering the slope, and allowing the workpiece to maintain a rolling state when entering the rolling slope.

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-3 Understand the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0027] First embodiment:

[0028] The present embodiment discloses a stepped loading device for smooth transportation, comprising: a first conveying track 100, wherein the first conveying track 100 is provided with a plurality of telescopic tables, wherein the plurality of telescopic tables are arranged in parallel with staggered heights to form a stepped first conveying track 100; wherein the telescopic tables are telescopic along the direction of the first track, and in at least one state, the surfaces of two adjacent telescopic tables are flush.

[0029] It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the various telescopic stages of the stepped loading device are controlled to achieve efficient asynchronous operation. During operation, each stage can be adjusted in height based on the workpiece's position and loading conditions. Specifically, the lower stage begins to rise when a workpiece lands, and the upper stage then descends accordingly. This rising and falling motion ensures that the surfaces of adjacent stages are aligned in at least one operating state, ensuring smooth transition of workpieces between stages. In some examples, the upward and downward motions are performed sequentially.

[0030] Furthermore, the top of each telescopic platform is designed as a sloped surface. With the help of gravity, workpieces can naturally slide along the slope from one lower telescopic platform to the adjacent higher telescopic platform, leveraging gravity for efficient transportation. This combination of stepped and sloped surfaces allows the loading device to achieve a maximum continuous working cycle with minimal energy consumption, thus achieving seamless and efficient material handling throughout the entire production process.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a second conveying track 200, which is flush with the highest moving position of the telescopic table at the highest point, and the second conveying track 200 is provided with a conveyor belt 210. On the second conveying track 200, the conveyor belt 210 is used to smoothly receive the workpiece from the highest telescopic table and continue to transport it to the next work area. The conveyor belt 210 of the second conveying track 200 directly corresponds to the lifting direction of the first track, ensuring that the workpiece can be seamlessly transferred to the second conveying track 200 after reaching the moving position of the highest telescopic table. Therefore, after the workpiece is lifted layer by layer on the first conveying track 100, it directly enters the second conveying track 200, thereby maintaining the smoothness and time efficiency of the production process.

[0032] The rolling ramp 300 has a lower end 310 connected to the bottom of the first conveyor track 100. When at least one of the telescopic platforms in the first conveyor track 100 is at its lowest position, it is flush with the lower end 310 of the rolling ramp 300. Specifically, when the telescopic platform is at its lowest position, it is flush with the lower end 310 of the rolling ramp 300, allowing workpieces to smoothly pass from the rolling ramp 300 onto the telescopic platform. This transition not only ensures the safety and stability of the workpiece but also provides a foundation for a continuous production process.

[0033] Considering that some rolling workpieces, such as cylindrical workpieces, may not roll smoothly on a slope because their axis is aligned with the slope, this example improves the rolling ramp 300 with a curved ramp 320. This curved design allows the workpiece to naturally adjust its direction as it slides down, ensuring that even cylindrical workpieces with their axis aligned with the slope can move stably down the slope.

[0034] It's easy to understand that the design of the curved ramp 320 allows the workpiece to naturally undergo a change in direction during sliding. This curved path helps adjust the workpiece's rolling direction. Therefore, even if the workpiece's axis initially aligns with the ramp's direction, it gradually changes its direction as the ramp's curvature follows, thus avoiding rolling obstacles caused by linear sliding. This curved path not only provides a smooth steering mechanism for cylindrical or other shaped workpieces, but also, through this gradual directional adjustment, allows the workpiece to move more stably along the ramp, effectively resolving the workpiece movement issues that can arise with linear ramps. This ensures that rollable workpieces of various shapes and sizes maintain continuity and stability during transport.

[0035] Second embodiment

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, further reference is made to Figure 2 As shown in the internal structure, the telescopic platform includes a first telescopic platform 110, a second telescopic platform 120, and a third telescopic platform 130, arranged from low to high. As shown in the figure, the first telescopic platform 110, the second telescopic platform 120, and the third telescopic platform 130 are arranged in ascending order, forming a step-like layout. This layout allows each telescopic platform to be located above the previous one, ensuring a smooth transition of workpieces between each level. The first telescopic platform 110, serving as the starting point and located at the lowest position, is specifically designed to receive workpieces during the initial stage. The surfaces from the first telescopic platform 110 to the second telescopic platform 120 are sloped, allowing workpieces to roll from the first telescopic platform 110 to the second telescopic platform 120 by gravity when the first telescopic platform 110 is aligned with the second telescopic position. Similarly, the third telescopic platform 130, located above the second telescopic platform 120, further elevates workpieces to a higher position.

[0037] The arc surface of the rolling slope 300 is tangent to the surface of the first telescopic platform 110 .

[0038] In some specific examples, the curvature of the high end 330 of the rolling slope 300 is greater than the curvature of the low end 310. It is understandable that the high end 330 of the rolling slope 300 has a larger curvature, and the aforementioned structure enables the workpiece to reach a rolling state faster at the start of rolling. This is because the larger curvature provides a greater initial velocity, helping the workpiece to quickly overcome static friction, thereby smoothly transitioning to a rolling state. As the workpiece rolls downward, the curvature of the lower end is smaller, which is conducive to the gradual stabilization of the speed of the workpiece, ensuring that it has a moderate speed when moving to the next stage of the telescopic table. It can be seen that the aforementioned structure can avoid the problem of the rolling axis of the workpiece being consistent with the inclination direction of the slope, resulting in an inability to roll.

[0039] Third embodiment

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 In the structure shown, the device also includes a discharge bar 400, which is arranged at the high end 330 of the rolling slope 300. In this example, the discharge bar 400 is a structure with fences on four sides and openings at the top and bottom; the opening of the discharge bar 400 facing the rolling slope 300 is a first opening 410, and the opening on the other side is a second opening 420. The four-sided fence structure effectively surrounds the discharge area, ensuring that the workpiece is safely controlled and guided in this area. The first opening 410 and the second opening 420 are designed to facilitate the workpiece to enter the discharge bar 400 from above and slide smoothly into the rolling slope 300 through the bottom. The first opening 410 faces the rolling slope 300, allowing the workpiece to directly enter the slope after being received and start its sliding process; and the second opening 420 is provided opposite the discharge bar 400 for discharge.

[0041] Furthermore, the placement of the unloading bar 400 abuts the high end 330 of the rolling ramp 300. This arrangement not only facilitates a smooth transition of the workpiece but also reduces the impact that may occur from placing the workpiece directly onto the ramp. In this example, the workpiece is inserted through the second opening 420, facing the rolling direction of the rolling ramp 300. After insertion, the workpiece rolls along the rolling ramp 300.

[0042] In some specific examples, a curved bar 430 extends from the first opening 410 of the material discharge bar 400 toward the rolling slope 300. In this example, the main function of providing the curved bar 430 is to ensure that the workpiece can maintain correct guidance and stability when it smoothly enters the rolling slope 300 from the material discharge bar 400. The curved bar 430 forms a smooth transition area to help adjust the sliding trajectory of the workpiece and ensure that the workpiece rolls correctly according to the predetermined path when entering the slope. In addition, the curved bar 430 also acts as a buffer to reduce the impact force that may be generated when the workpiece enters the slope.

[0043] Fourth embodiment

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 1-3 As shown, the device further includes a control box 500 , in which a driver 510 is provided. The driver 510 is used to drive the telescopic platform.

[0045] The control box 500 has an opening and closing door 520 on one side. When in use, the user can open the opening and closing door 520 to repair the driver 510 in the control box 500. In some specific examples, the control box 500 has a support leg 530. In some specific cases, the support leg 530 is height-adjustable.
