DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an angle adjustment mechanism for a leveling feeder, comprising a conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 provides a conveying channel to carry the movement of metal materials during processing. The surface of the conveyor 1 is provided with grooves 2 and positioning grooves 3. Multiple sets of positioning grooves 3 are arranged in an array. The grooves 2 are used to improve the track and adjustment space for the guide component 4, and the multiple sets of positioning grooves 3 are used to position the guide component 4, ensuring the stability of the guide component 4's position when needed.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The interior of the groove 2 is equipped with a guide assembly 4, which guides the metal material during the conveying process to ensure that the position of the metal material does not shift. The guide assembly 4 includes a movable seat 41, which is slidably connected inside the groove 2. The side wall of the movable seat 41 has a through hole, and a crossbar 42 is slidably connected in the through hole. The end of the crossbar 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 2. The crossbar 42 is used to improve the guidance and positioning of the movable seat 41, so that the movable seat 41 can move stably along the inner wall of the groove 2. A traction plate 43 is hinged to the surface of the movable seat 41, and a mounting plate 44 is hinged to the end of the traction plate 43. The end of the mounting plate 44 is hinged to the surface of the conveyor 1. A guide wheel 45 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 44. By moving the movable seat 41, the traction plate 43 connects to the mounting plate 44, allowing the mounting plate 44 to adjust its angle relative to the hinge point with the conveyor 1. This controls the distance between the two sets of guide wheels 45 to accommodate metal materials of different widths. The two sets of guide wheels 45 are respectively attached to both sides of the metal material to guide it. A protruding plate 46 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable seat 41. A through hole is opened on the surface of the protruding plate 46, and a C-shaped rod 47 is inserted into the through hole. The bottom end of the C-shaped rod 47 is inserted into the positioning groove 3. The convex plate 46 is a protruding part of the side wall of the movable seat 41. A notch, smaller than the overall diameter of the C-shaped rod 47, is provided where the C-shaped rod 47 passes through the convex plate 46, allowing the C-shaped rod 47 to slide. When it cannot separate from the convex plate 46, the bottom end of the C-shaped rod 47 engages with the positioning groove 3 to fix the movable seat 41, maintaining a suitable angle with the mounting plate 44. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two sets of guide wheels 45, the C-shaped rod 47 can be moved upwards to separate from the positioning groove 3, and simultaneously moved left and right to move the C-shaped rod 47, causing the movable seat 41 to move synchronously, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the mounting plate 44.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4An elastic component 5 is provided between the C-shaped rod 47 and the convex plate 46. The elastic component 5 provides a downward pulling force for the C-shaped rod 47, ensuring the stability of the C-shaped rod 47 in docking with the positioning groove 3. The elastic component 5 includes a diagonal rod 51, the end of which is hinged to the surface of the convex plate 46. A slide rod 52 is slidably connected inside the diagonal rod 51, and the top of the slide rod 52 is hinged to the side wall of the C-shaped rod 47. The diagonal rod 51 and the slide rod 52 form a telescopic structure, which extends and retracts according to the vertical movement of the C-shaped rod 47. The slide rod 52 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the diagonal rod 51 by a return spring 53. The return spring 53 provides a downward pulling force for the slide rod 52, ensuring that the C-shaped rod 47 moves vertically downward without external force and docks with the positioning groove 3. A limiting groove 54 is formed on the side wall of the diagonal rod 51, and a limiting block 55 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 54. The limiting block 55 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide rod 52. The limiting groove 54 and the limiting block 55 are used to limit the movement range of the slide bar 52.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 A C-shaped frame 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor 1. The C-shaped frame 6 provides stable support for the cylinder 7. The cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the C-shaped frame 6. The output end of the cylinder 7 passes through and is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the C-shaped frame 6. A pressure plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cylinder 7. A pressure roller 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 8. The cylinder 7 controls the downward pressure of the pressure plate 8 and the pressure roller 9 through the movement of the output end, and adjusts the pressure applied to the material according to the needs of different materials.

[0035] Working Principle: When metal materials move on conveyor 1, the pressure applied by pressure roller 9 through pressure plate 8 can be finely adjusted according to the material properties, ensuring that the material passes smoothly during conveying. Simultaneously, the flexible adjustment of guide wheels 45 ensures uniform support and guidance on both sides even when the width of the metal material changes, preventing material skewing during conveying. Through the linkage of moving seat 41 and traction plate 43, the angle of mounting plate 44 can be quickly adjusted, thereby changing the distance between guide wheels 45 to accommodate metal materials of different widths. This allows the angle adjustment mechanism of the leveling feeder to flexibly respond to various processing needs, improving the machine's applicability and ease of operation, and providing reliable assurance for metal material processing.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
