Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spherical product feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic lifting feeding machine suitable for spherical parts. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission ball parts are components in mechanical equipment used to transmit energy and motion. Their shape is typically spherical or near-spherical. The main function of these parts is to transmit power through rolling or sliding, enabling the operation of the mechanical equipment. They are widely used in industrial production, automobiles, ships, agricultural machinery, aircraft, and other fields, and are an indispensable component of mechanical equipment. When grinding transmission ball parts on a centerless grinder, one part is often ground at a time, requiring manual feeding and unloading. Manual feeding is prone to misalignment, and blindly placing parts into the grinding position can easily lead to part scrap or even machine failure, resulting in low efficiency and significant safety hazards. Therefore, it is essential to design an automatic lifting feeder for ball parts to replace manual feeding, improve work efficiency, reduce labor costs, avoid part scrap due to misalignment, and eliminate safety hazards in production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic lifting feeder for spherical parts, which solves the problem that when grinding spherical parts on a centerless grinder, the existing transmission spherical parts are often ground one part at a time, and manual feeding and receiving are required. Manual feeding is prone to misalignment, and blindly placing the parts into the grinding position can easily lead to scrapping of the parts or even machine failure. This results in low efficiency and significant safety hazards.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic lifting and feeding machine for spherical parts, comprising a hoof, a base, a support column, an electrical control cabinet, a profile bracket, a speed regulator, a feeding motor, a reducer, an upper cover, a synchronous pulley mounting seat, a baffle, a spherical workpiece, a toothed synchronous belt, a hopper, a lower cover, a lower cover connecting plate, a discharge chute, a synchronous belt guard, a connecting seat, and a discharge ramp. A hopper is fixedly connected to one side of the profile bracket, and a through groove is provided at the connection between the hopper and the profile bracket. An internally rotating synchronous pulley is connected to the output end of the reducer. The reducer is fixed on the synchronous pulley mounting base, which is fixed on the upper cover. A toothed synchronous belt is wound around the synchronous pulley. The upper cover is fixed to the top of the profile bracket. A material drop chute is provided on the side of the upper cover away from the hopper. The input end of the reducer is connected to the output end of the feeding motor, which is fixed on the synchronous pulley mounting base. Baffles are symmetrically arranged on the side of the profile bracket near the hopper, and the toothed synchronous belt is located between the baffles.

[0005] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a spherical workpiece is placed in the tooth groove on the toothed synchronous belt.

[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a material discharge ramp is provided at the bottom of the inner end of the hopper.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a lower cover is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the profile bracket, a lower cover connecting plate is provided on the top of the lower cover, and the lower cover connecting plate is fixed on the profile bracket. A synchronous belt guard is fixedly connected to the side of the profile bracket away from the hopper.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a speed regulator is provided on one side of the profile bracket, and support columns are symmetrically arranged on the profile bracket.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the supporting columns are symmetrically installed on the base, and an electrical control cabinet is provided on one side of the top of the base.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the base is provided with symmetrical hoof feet at the four corners of its bottom.

[0011] This utility model provides an automatic lifting and feeding machine for spherical parts. Its advantages are as follows: the toothed synchronous belt and the hopper are supported by an inclined profile bracket. The feeding motor on the synchronous pulley mounting seat drives the synchronous pulley to rotate through a reducer, which in turn drives the toothed synchronous belt to rotate around the synchronous pulley. At the same time, the spherical workpieces piled in the hopper will roll towards the toothed synchronous belt on the feeding ramp. After rolling into the tooth groove on the toothed synchronous belt, they will move down along the profile bracket under the drive of the feeding motor, and then fall from the dropping chute on the other side to complete the automatic feeding process. No manual intervention is required in the production process, which improves work efficiency, reduces labor costs, avoids parts scrapping due to misplacement, and eliminates safety hazards in production.
