Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material receiving machine technology, and in particular to a material conveying mechanism inside a track. Background Technology
[0002] In the current state of technology, the heads of the two strips to be connected enter from both ends of the receiving machine track (strip feed channel), and are joined together at the receiving station inside the receiving machine. Then, the connected strip is taken out from the track and placed on the feed roller on the top of the machine, or is slightly lifted from the track to directly above the track for the next winding and coiling action. This causes the strip to derail from the track. Since there are shearing or supporting devices in the middle of the feeding track, the track will be interrupted. When continuing to receive the third (coil) strip, manual intervention is required to make the strip pass through the interrupted position in the track, resulting in low production efficiency and the inability to use the existing strip drive mechanism to count the components on the strip. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a material feeding mechanism inside a track, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. To achieve the above objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0004] The internal material feeding mechanism of the track includes a first track and a second track that are arranged horizontally in sequence but not connected along the feeding direction of the material belt. The first track is equipped with a drive device for moving the material belt. The track also includes a material guiding device disposed between the first track and the second track. The material guiding device includes a support platform that is perpendicular to the direction of the first track and is slidably disposed. The support platform is equipped with a material guiding track. The inlet end and outlet end of the material guiding track are not located on the same plane, and a material guiding slope is disposed between the inlet end and the outlet end.
[0005] Optionally, a first fiber optic sensor and a second fiber optic sensor are respectively installed in the first track on both sides of the drive device.
[0006] Optionally, the feed inlet of the first track is provided with a first inclined surface.
[0007] Optionally, the feed inlet of the second track is provided with a second inclined surface.
[0008] Optionally, the driving device includes a servo motor and a feeding gear, wherein the feeding gear is disposed at the working end of the servo motor.
[0009] Optionally, it also includes a track cover plate, which is rotatably mounted on the first track or the second track and covers the first track, the second track and the material guiding device.
[0010] Optionally, a pressing device is provided on the track cover plate corresponding to the driving device.
[0011] Optionally, the pressing device includes a fixed base, a swing arm, a spring, and a pressing wheel. The fixed base is disposed on the cover plate, the swing arm is rotatably disposed on the fixed base, the pressing wheel is rotatably disposed at one end of the swing arm and corresponds to the feeding gear, and the spring is disposed at the end of the swing arm away from the pressing wheel.
[0012] Optionally, the discharge end of the guide rail is provided with a material return slope.
[0013] Optionally, the feed inlet of the first track, the feed inlet of the second track, and the feed end of the guide track are all provided with chamfers in the width direction of the material belt.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this utility model is that by adopting the above solution, a material guiding device is set between the first and second tracks that are spaced apart, so that the material belt can smoothly enter the second track from the first track. Through the sliding and lifting design of the material guiding device, it can adapt to material belts of different hardness, avoid the problem of low production efficiency caused by the need for manual intervention when the material belt leaves the track or gets stuck, and can achieve rapid coiling.
[0015] By setting chamfers in the feed inlets of the first track, the second track, and the feed end of the guide track in the width direction of the material belt, the material belt can enter each track more easily, avoiding jamming and improving production efficiency.
[0016] By setting a first fiber optic sensor and a second fiber optic sensor on both sides of the drive device, the position of the material strip end can be detected in real time, so that the drive device can be stopped in time. The drive device can be used to accurately count the components on the material strip. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figure 1-3As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is that the internal material feeding mechanism of the track includes a first track 1 and a second track 2 arranged horizontally and spaced apart from left to right. An electric shear 3 is arranged between the first track 1 and the second track 2. The discharge port of the first track 1 and the inlet of the second track 2 correspond to each other. The material belt enters the second track 2 from the first track 1. A drive device 4 for driving the material belt is arranged inside the first track 1. The device also includes a material guiding device 5 arranged between the first track 1 and the second track 2. The material guiding device 5 is used to receive the first track 1 and the second track 2, so that the material belt can smoothly enter the second track 2 after leaving the first track 1. The material guiding device 5 includes a vertically and slidably arranged support platform 51. A material guiding track 52 is arranged on the support platform 51. The inlet end 521 of the material guiding track 52 is lower than the outlet end 522, and a material guiding slope 53 is arranged between the inlet end 521 and the outlet end 522.
[0029] During operation, the material belt enters from the left end of the first track 1 and is driven by the drive mechanism to move to the right along the first track 1. The electric shears 3 cuts the end of the material belt flat. The support platform 51 moves downward so that the feed end 521 is lower than the discharge port of the first track 1 to receive the end of the material belt. When encountering a softer material belt, the height of the first track 1 can be lowered and the material belt continues to move forward. At the same time, the support platform 51 moves upward so that the end of the material belt is higher than the feed port of the second track 2, allowing the material belt to smoothly enter the second track 2. In this embodiment, the support platform 51 is slidably set on the support seat at the bottom of the first track 1 through the cooperation of the slide rail 54 and the slider 55.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the internal material feeding mechanism of the track also includes a third track 6 and a fourth track 7 arranged sequentially and at intervals from left to right. A second material guiding device 30 is arranged between the third track 6 and the fourth track 7. The second material guiding device 30 and the material guiding device 5 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically. The third track 6 has the same structure as the second track 2 and is arranged symmetrically. The fourth track 7 has the same structure as the first track 1 and is also arranged symmetrically. A second driving device 8 is arranged inside the fourth track 7 to convey the material strip after it has been assembled to the left. A material supporting device 9 is arranged between the second track 2 and the third track 6 to support the material strips to be joined at the left and right ends. The two material strips are then joined by an external material receiving device. In this embodiment, the first track 1, the second track 2, the third track 6 and the fourth track 7 are all width-adjustable tracks. The width is adjusted by the adjustable track front baffle 10. The track front baffle 10 is only used when... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device 5 is designed for the widest material strip size.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, a first fiber optic sensor 11 and a second fiber optic sensor 12 for detecting the material strip are respectively installed in the first track 1 on both sides of the drive device 4. The first fiber optic sensor 11 and the second fiber optic sensor 12 are used to detect the position of the end of the material strip in real time, so that the drive device 4 can be stopped in time, which facilitates accurate counting of the components on the material strip.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feed inlet of the first track 1 is provided with a first inclined surface 13. The first inclined surface 13 is used to facilitate the material belt to enter the first track 1 when the material belt is connected.
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the feed inlet of the second track 2 is provided with a second inclined surface 14. The second inclined surface 14 is used to better support the material guiding device 5, so that the softer material belt can smoothly enter the second track 2.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive device 4 includes a servo motor 41 and a feeding gear 42. The feeding gear 42 is located at the working end of the servo motor 41. It can be understood that one side of the feeding gear 42 is located in the first track 1. Positioning holes are equidistantly arranged on the material belt. The teeth of the feeding gear 42 insert into the positioning holes to drive the material belt to move. Since the components are equidistantly arranged on the material belt, the number of components on the material belt can be calculated based on the number of rotations of the feeding gear 42. With the cooperation of the first fiber optic sensor 11 and the second fiber optic sensor 12, the servo motor 41 can be stopped in time to prevent the material belt from detaching from the feeding gear 42.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a track cover plate 20, which is rotatably mounted on the first track 1 or the second track 2 and covers the first track 1, the second track 2 and the material guiding device 5.
[0036] In this embodiment, the rear end of the track cover plate 20 is rotatably disposed on the rear side of the first track 1. The left end of the track cover plate 20 covers the first track 1, the right end covers the second track 2, and the middle part covers the material guide device 5, which can constrain the material belt and prevent the material belt from bending upward and leaving the track. The cover plate can be flipped to check the track and allow manual operation of the material belt when necessary.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a pressing device 21 is provided on the track cover plate 20 corresponding to the drive device 4. The pressing device 21 can make the material belt fit tightly with the drive device 4 to ensure the conveying effect.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the pressing device 21 includes a fixed base 211, a swing arm 212, a spring 213, and a pressing wheel 214. The fixed base 211 is disposed on the cover plate. The middle part of the swing arm 212 is rotatably disposed on the fixed base 211. The pressing wheel 214 is rotatably disposed on the right end of the swing arm 212 and is located above the feeding gear 42 and is in rolling connection with the feeding gear 42. The spring 213 is disposed on the left end of the swing arm 212 and keeps the pressing wheel 214 close to the feeding gear 42.
[0039] In one embodiment, when the conveyor belt needs to move to the left, in order to ensure that the conveyor belt smoothly enters the guiding device 5 from the second track 2, a discharge slope is provided at the discharge end 522 of the guiding track 52.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the feed inlet of the first track 1, the feed inlet of the second track 2, and the feed end 521 of the guide track 52 are all provided with chamfers 16 in the width direction of the material belt, which makes it easier for the material belt to enter each track and avoids jamming.
[0041] This application provides a material guiding device between the first and second tracks, which are spaced apart, so that the material belt can smoothly enter the second track from the first track. Through the sliding and lifting design of the material guiding device, it can adapt to material belts of different hardness, avoiding the problem of low production efficiency caused by the need for manual intervention when the material belt leaves the track or gets stuck. It can achieve rapid tray closing.
[0042] By setting chamfers in the feed inlets of the first track, the second track, and the feed end of the guide track in the width direction of the material belt, the material belt can enter each track more easily, avoiding jamming and improving production efficiency.
[0043] By setting a first fiber optic sensor and a second fiber optic sensor on both sides of the drive device, the position of the material strip end can be detected in real time, so that the drive device can be stopped in time. The drive device can be used to accurately count the components on the material strip.
[0044] It should be noted that the above-mentioned technical features can be combined with each other to form various embodiments not listed above, all of which are considered to be within the scope of this utility model specification; and, for those skilled in the art, improvements or modifications can be made based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
