Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel ball production and processing, in particular to a feeding tray for steel ball production and processing. Background Art

[0002] Steel balls are categorized by production and processing technology into grinding, forging, and casting. They are also categorized by the material used, including bearing balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, copper bearing balls, and alloy steel balls. Bearing balls are essential industrial components. Alloy steel balls are spherical, wear-resistant iron alloys with carbon, chromium, manganese, and molybdenum as primary additives, produced through forging, spinning, rolling, and casting. Steel balls are a type of metal abrasive, with stainless steel shot, cast steel shot, aluminum shot, cut wire shot, grinding shot, and copper shot as the main varieties. Steel balls are widely used in surface treatment of non-ferrous metal die-castings, castings, aluminum profiles, automotive parts, machinery manufacturing, hardware, and pump and valve industries. They are primarily used for surface descaling, edge deburring, surface roughening, matte finishes, flattening, and rust removal.

[0003] During the production and processing of steel balls, a feeding tray is often required to transport the steel balls. However, the bottom of the existing steel ball feeding tray is mostly set to a flat structure, and the discharge port has only one hole in the middle part. During the feeding process, the steel balls can only enter the discharge hole when there are a large number of steel balls. When the number of steel balls is small, the remaining steel balls will stay on the feeding tray due to lack of thrust, resulting in the need for staff to manually shake the feeding tray to move the steel balls and drop them into the discharge hole, thereby reducing the working efficiency of the device.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, we propose a feeding tray for steel ball production and processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the background technology, the utility model provides a feeding tray for producing and processing steel balls.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0020] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned background technology. The overall idea is as follows: a conveyor belt 2 is provided on the inner wall of the unloading tray 1, and multiple groups of loading plates 21 are evenly installed on the conveyor belt 2. When the conveyor belt 2 rotates, the multiple groups of loading plates 21 can be driven to move one by one from the bottom of the unloading tray 1 to the top, thereby realizing stable one-by-one conveying of the steel balls in the unloading tray 1, thereby effectively improving the uniformity of the loading speed of the steel balls;

[0021] In addition, by setting the lower material tray 1 to a funnel-shaped structure, the steel balls will automatically roll to the bottom position of the lower material tray 1. When the loading plate 21 moves up from the bottom, the steel balls will roll into the grooves on the surface of the loading plate 21 and be placed there. Then, the conveyor belt 2 is used to drive the loading and transportation, thereby effectively avoiding the situation where the steel balls remain in the lower material tray 1 and cannot be transported.

[0022] Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a feeding tray for steel ball production and processing in this embodiment includes a feed tray 1, which is configured as a funnel-shaped structure. The funnel-shaped feed tray 1 enables the steel balls to automatically roll to the bottom when they fall into the feed tray 1.

[0023] The inner wall of the unloading tray 1 is provided with a loading assembly, which includes a conveyor belt 2. A plurality of loading plates 21 are installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. The plurality of loading plates 21 are installed at equal distances on the outer end surface of the conveyor belt 2. A guide trough 4 is provided at the top of the conveyor belt 2. The guide trough 4 is installed at an angle. The conveyor belt 2 drives the loading plate 21 to move, thereby transporting the steel balls from the bottom to the top of the unloading tray 1, and then falling into the guide trough 4 for guided transportation.

[0024] Among them, the inner wall of the discharge tray 1 is provided with a slide groove 11, and the conveyor belt 2 slides in the inner middle part of the slide groove 11. The setting of the slide groove 11 plays a role in limiting the conveyor belt 2. At the same time, it also prevents the conveyor belt 2 from occupying the space inside the discharge tray 1, resulting in the steel balls being unable to accurately roll to the loading plate 21 for placement. For example, the steel balls roll to the back position of the conveyor belt 2, and by limiting the conveyor belt 2 in the slide groove 11, the problem of the steel balls rolling to the back position of the conveyor belt 2 is effectively solved, so that the steel balls can be accurately moved to the loading plate 21 for placement.

[0025] A through opening 12 is provided in the middle of the bottom end of the discharge tray 1, and a conveyor belt 2 is movably installed in the middle of the inner side of the through opening 12. The conveyor belt 2 rotates to drive multiple groups of loading plates 21 to pass through the bottom of the through opening 12 upward in turn, and the multiple groups of loading plates 21 move upward from the through opening 12 in turn, thereby realizing the upward conveying of the steel balls that roll to the bottom of the discharge tray 1 one by one.

[0026] In some examples, pulleys 3 are provided in the middle of both ends of the conveyor belt 2, wherein the pulley 3 at the bottom is driven to rotate by a driving motor, and the driving motor drives the bottom pulley 3 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, while the pulley 3 at the top is driven to rotate under the rotation of the conveyor belt 2.

[0027] In some examples, a semicircular groove is provided on the upper end surface of the loading plate 21 to improve the stability of the steel balls when they are placed on the loading plate 21 .

[0028] In some examples, when steel balls are put into the discharge tray 1 , the number of balls put into the discharge tray 1 should not be too large each time to avoid a large number of steel balls causing gravity pressure on the loading plate 21 , which may cause the conveyor belt 2 to jam.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0030] When it is necessary to feed and convey the steel balls, the steel balls are first poured into the discharge tray 1. Since the discharge tray 1 is configured as a funnel-shaped structure, the steel balls will automatically roll and gather at the bottom of the discharge tray 1. At this time, the driving motor drives the pulley 3 at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. Through the rotation of the conveyor belt 2, multiple groups of loading plates 21 are driven to pass through the opening 12 of the bottom plate of the discharge tray 1 in sequence. When the loading plate 21 moves upward from the bottom of the discharge tray 1, the steel balls will roll into the grooves on the loading plate 21, so that the conveyor belt 2 transports the steel balls upward one by one. When the steel balls move to the highest position, the loading plate 21 will tilt, so that the steel balls fall from the loading plate 21 and fall into the guide trough 4 for material guide and conveying.

[0031] Through the above structure, the utility model can realize the stable one-by-one conveying of steel balls and improve the uniformity of the loading speed of steel balls. At the same time, by setting the discharge tray 1 as a funnel-shaped structure, it effectively solves the problem in the background technology that the residual steel balls fall into the discharge tray 1 and cannot be conveyed and loaded.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
