Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fastener production and processing technology, and specifically relates to a rotary feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Fasteners are a wide range of mechanical parts used for fastening connections. They typically include various types such as bolts, studs, screws, and nuts. During the fastener production process, feeding devices are often needed to transport fasteners. Using feeding devices can automate the transport of fasteners from one process to the next for subsequent assembly, weighing, and other processes.

[0003] The invention patent with announcement number CN114955369B discloses an automated feeding device for heat-resistant fasteners, including a cylinder, a discharge body installed on the right side of the cylinder, the cylinder and the discharge body can rotate slowly, the discharge body has a discharge port inside, the cavity of the cylinder is connected to the discharge port, and an air film is fixedly installed on the wall of the discharge body.

[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202411095853.8 discloses an automatic feeding device, including a vibrating feeder connected to a discharge head via a conveying pipe; a receiving platform with a receiving tray at its upper end; the lower end of the receiving tray connected to the output end of a motor or rotary cylinder for driving the receiving tray to rotate intermittently; receiving columns arranged according to a preset rule at the upper end of the receiving tray; and the receiving tray being slidably positioned at the lower end of the discharge head.

[0005] Further research by the applicant revealed that the fastener feeding device in this technical solution works by placing fasteners into a storage hopper, allowing the material to slide down the inclined hopper and be discharged from the outlet. The discharged material then falls onto a conveyor belt for subsequent assembly and weighing operations. However, due to the large amount of material in the storage hopper and the significant weight of the fasteners, accumulation and blockage are likely to occur during the discharge process, significantly impacting the feeding efficiency.

[0007] A rotary feeder, comprising:

[0008] Feed hopper;

[0009] The rotating shell is connected to the side of the feed hopper. The middle of the rotating shell is provided with a receiving plate and several sets of guide fan blades surrounding the outer periphery of the receiving plate. The guide fan blades are connected to the inner wall of the rotating shell.

[0010] A driving element for driving the rotating housing to rotate; and

[0011] The material discharge guide rail extends into the rotating shell at one end and is connected to the receiving plate;

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a rotary feeder of this utility model includes:

[0030] Feed hopper 1;

[0031] Rotary shell 2 is connected to the side of guide hopper 1. A receiving plate and several sets of guide fan blades 20 are provided in the middle of the rotating shell 2 and surround the outer periphery of the receiving plate. The guide fan blades 20 are connected to the inner wall of the rotating shell 2.

[0032] Drive component 3, used to drive the rotating shell 2 to rotate; and

[0033] The discharge guide rail 4 extends into the rotating shell 2 at one end and is connected to the receiving plate;

[0034] The rotating shell 2 rotates under the action of the driving component 3, and guides the material in the guide hopper 1 through the receiving plate to the discharge guide rail 4 via the guide fan blade 20, and then guides it to the outside of the guide hopper 1 by the discharge guide rail 4.

[0035] By using the rotating shell 2, the concentrated and disordered fastener materials are lifted and pushed by the rotating guide fan blade 20 to the top of the discharge guide rail 4, and then fall onto the receiving plate by gravity. Compared with the current discharge method, this method can reduce the probability of fasteners accumulating and clogging during the discharge process, and has the advantage of improving the feeding and discharge effect.

[0036] This invention employs automation and precise control, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and insufficient accuracy associated with traditional manual feeding, resulting in significant improvements in production efficiency and cost savings, while also enhancing product quality.

[0037] This feeder can be used on production lines with multiple different stations for fasteners, and its feeding can be flexibly configured.

[0038] The receiving plate includes a first part 50 and a second part 51 connected to both sides of the discharge guide rail 4. The first part 50 and the second part 51 extend along the length of the discharge guide rail 4.

[0039] The fasteners that fall randomly can be guided by the receiving plate and the baffle plate 52 to have their tails facing the discharge guide rail 4 and be conveyed along the inclined direction of the discharge guide rail 4.

[0040] Among them, the first part of the material plate 50 and the second part of the material plate 51 are arranged at an angle, and at least one of them is connected to the upper end of the baffle plate 52.

[0041] Specifically, the discharge guide rail 4 includes a left rib 40 and a right rib 41 arranged in parallel, with a gap between the left rib 40 and the right rib 41.

[0042] The discharge guide rail 4 is configured with a left rib 40 and a right rib 41. The gap between the two allows the fastener column to pass through, and the gap size is smaller than the size of the fastener head. In this way, each conveyed fastener is hung on the discharge guide rail 4 and slides down the discharge guide rail 4 in sequence.

[0043] A discharge wheel 60 and a discharge baffle 61 are connected to the guide hopper 1. By pushing the discharge baffle 61, the material discharge can be controlled according to production needs.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a support angle iron 10 is connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 1. The support angle iron 10 can be connected to other external devices, such as a heading machine.

[0045] This feeder also has a feed hopper 7, which is connected to the upper side of the guide hopper 1. The opening of the feed hopper 7 can face upwards, allowing the operator to concentrate and feed a large amount of material from the opening. The feed inlet of the guide hopper 1 is connected to the feed hopper 7. Since the feed hopper 7 is located above the feed inlet of the guide hopper 1, the material enters and accumulates inside the guide hopper 1 under its own weight. As the rotating shell 2 rotates, the material is continuously guided to the discharge guide rail 4.

[0046] Unless otherwise specified, fixed connections can be riveting, welding, bolting, etc., while movable connections can be hinged, etc.

[0047] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known structures and characteristics are not described in detail here. Those skilled in the art are aware of all common technical knowledge in the field prior to the application date or priority date, are aware of all existing technologies in that field, and have the ability to apply conventional experimental methods prior to that date. Those skilled in the art can, based on the guidance provided in this application, improve and implement this solution in combination with their own capabilities. Some typical known structures or methods should not be obstacles for those skilled in the art to implement this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model. These should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
