At the same time, it can clear blockages or supplement feeding power in time to ensure that the feeding process will not be easily interrupted and ensure the stability of the production process.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides an embodiment: an optical fiber connector feeding mechanism, comprising: a feeding bin 1, the upper surface of the feeding bin 1 is fixedly connected to the pouring bin 2, the side surface of the pouring bin 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 21, the inner surface of the fixing frame 21 is movably connected to the threaded rod 22, the outer surface of the threaded rod 22 is movably connected to the movable block 23, the side surface of the movable block 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 28, the outer surface of the connecting block 28 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 29, the outer surface of the adjusting block 29 is movably connected to the connecting plate 210, the outer surface of the connecting plate 210 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 211, the outer surface of the connecting ring 211 is movably connected to the connecting member 212, the outer surface of the connecting member 212 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 213, the side surface of the first support rod 213 is movably connected to the second support rod 214, the connecting ring 211 and the connecting member 212 are fixedly connected to the side surfaces of the first support rod 213 and the second support rod 214 in two groups, and the side surface of the connecting member 212 is fixedly connected to the rebound plate 216.

[0024] Specifically, by setting the second support rod 214 and the first support rod 213, when the spring column 215 is subjected to force for a long time, the first support rod 213 and the second support rod 214 can effectively maintain the stability of the spring column 215, thereby preventing the spring column 215 from bending or falling off during long-term use.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 The outer surface of the threaded rod 22 is movably connected to a positioning ring 24 , and the side surface of the positioning ring 24 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 25 .

[0026] Specifically, the arrangement of the positioning ring 24 and the fixing rod 25 can effectively stabilize the rotational position of the threaded rod 22, so that the rotating rod 26 will not become loose or fall off when driving the threaded rod 22 to rotate.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 One end of the threaded rod 22 away from the fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 26 , and one end of the rotating rod 26 away from the threaded rod 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 27 . The rotating rod 26 is connected through the inner and outer ends of the fixing frame 21 .

[0028] Specifically, by setting the rotating handle 27, the rotating handle 27 is rotated outside the fixing frame 21, so that the rotating handle 27 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate through the rotating rod 26, thereby adjusting the internal height of the connecting block 28 in the dumping bin 2.

[0029] See also Figure 1-4 The side surface of the dumping bin 2 is movably connected with an observation door 3, and the fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to both sides of the dumping bin 2 in two groups.

[0030] Specifically, by setting the observation door 3, the observation door 3 can be opened to observe the internal feeding situation of the dumping bin 2. At the same time, by rotating the adjustment block 29, the inclination angle of the rebound plate 216 can be effectively adjusted, so that different bounce angles will appear when feeding connector raw materials of different specifications.

[0031] See also Figure 1-4 The interior of the feed bin 1 is fixedly connected with an air suction assembly 5 , and the air suction assembly 5 includes a support block 51 , and the upper surface of the support block 51 is fixedly connected with a drive motor 52 .

[0032] Specifically, the support block 51 can support the driving motor 52 , so that the driving motor 52 can maintain stability when driving the first rotating ring 53 to rotate.

[0033] See also Figure 1-4 The output end of the driving motor 52 is fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 53 , and the outer surface of the first rotating ring 53 is sleeved with a belt 54 .

[0034] Specifically, through the provision of the belt 54 , when the driving motor 52 drives the first rotating ring 53 to rotate, the belt 54 can effectively connect the first rotating ring 53 and the second rotating ring 55 , so that the first rotating ring 53 and the second rotating ring 55 rotate synchronously.

[0035] See also Figure 1-4 The belt 54 is internally movably connected to a second rotating ring 55, the bottom of the second rotating ring 55 is fixedly connected to a support frame 56, a suction port 57 is provided at the bottom of the feed bin 1, a guide plate 58 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed bin 1, and a partition plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed bin 1.

[0036] Specifically, by setting the second rotating ring 55, air pressure will be generated during the rotation of the second rotating ring 55, so that after the connector raw material enters the interior of the feed bin 1, it will be sucked toward the suction port 57 by the second rotating ring 55, thereby achieving stable feeding.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, first open the observation door 3, rotate the adjustment block 29 to tilt the rebound plate 216 to a suitable angle, then rotate the rotating handle 27, so that the rotating handle 27 drives the rotating rod 26 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 26 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 22, the threaded rod 22 will also rotate synchronously when the rotating rod 26 rotates, and at the same time drive the movable block 23 on the threaded rod 22, so that the movable block 23 can pull the connecting block 28 to adjust the height up and down on the inner wall of the dump bin 2, and then start the drive motor 52, so that the drive motor 52 drives the first rotating ring 53 to rotate The second rotating ring 55 rotates synchronously with the first rotating ring 53 through the belt 54, and the second rotating ring 55 will experience air suction during the high rotation process, so that when the connector material falls into the feed bin 1, it will be directly sucked into the suction port 57 to avoid rebounding and bouncing back and forth inside the feed bin 1 and the dump bin 2, resulting in failure to feed. After the rebound plate 216 contacts the interior of the dump bin 2 just poured, the rebound plate 216 can effectively reduce the elasticity under the action of the spring column 215, and bounce it toward the inside of the feed bin 1, so as to facilitate the air suction of the second rotating ring 55.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
