Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a non-electrically powered feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional automatic feeding mechanisms rely on various driving methods to achieve precise and efficient material conveying. Pneumatic and electric drives are the two most common forms. Pneumatic drives typically rely on pneumatic components such as cylinders, using the supply and release of compressed air to achieve reciprocating motion. However, they suffer from drawbacks such as high energy consumption, high noise levels, and high requirements for air pressure stability. Furthermore, the construction and debugging of pneumatic systems are relatively complex, requiring specialized technicians for operation and maintenance. Electric drives primarily utilize electric components such as motors or electric cylinders, achieving precise control of the feeding mechanism through electrical power. However, electric drive systems are generally more expensive and highly dependent on power sources; if the power supply is interrupted, the entire system will malfunction.

[0003] Traditional automatic feeding mechanisms are relatively complex in structure, including not only drive components but also transmission mechanisms, control systems, and other components. This complex structure also leads to high prices for traditional feeding mechanisms, increasing production costs for enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a non-electrically powered feeding device, in which the driving force can change linearly with the feeding process, eliminating the need for pneumatic or electric power, saving energy, and reducing costs.

[0005] This utility model provides a non-electrically powered feeding device for conveying materials, comprising: a support base with symmetrically arranged grooves on the support base; a first limiting plate disposed at one end of the grooves; a second limiting plate movably disposed at the end of the groove away from the first limiting plate; an elastic element, one end of which is connected to the second limiting plate and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the support base; a pulley disposed at the bottom of the support base; and a connecting rope, one end of which is connected to the elastic element and the other end of which is connected to a weight via the pulley.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the support base is a rectangular plate, and there are two sliding grooves symmetrically arranged on the support base. The two ends of the second limiting plate are respectively connected to the two sliding grooves, and the second limiting plate slides along the sliding grooves.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the first limiting plate is an L-shaped plate, and the first limiting plate is vertically connected to one end of the support base.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the second limiting plate passes through the groove and is connected to the elastic member. One end of the second limiting plate is used to clamp the material, and the other end of the second limiting plate is perpendicularly connected to the groove and slides along the groove.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the elastic element is a tension spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to one end of the support seat near the second limiting plate, and the other end of which is connected to the second limiting plate via a connecting plate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the pulley includes a first pulley and a second pulley, which are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the connecting rope is a steel wire rope, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the second limiting plate, and the other end of which is connected to the first pulley via the second pulley.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a weight is movably connected to the wire rope at the end of the first pulley.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a baffle is also included, which is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support base and is perpendicular to the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate.

[0014] In one possible implementation, an adjusting member is also included, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the support base, and the other end of which is connected to the baffle. The adjusting member is used to adjust the position of the baffle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0016] This utility model discloses a non-electrically powered feeding device. A support base has symmetrically arranged grooves. A first limiting plate is located at one end of the grooves. A second limiting plate is movably located at the end of the grooves away from the first limiting plate. One end of an elastic element is connected to the second limiting plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support base. A pulley is located at the bottom of the support base. One end of a connecting rope is connected to the elastic element, and the other end of the connecting rope is connected to a weight via the pulley. Utilizing the pulley and weight for driving significantly reduces energy consumption, simplifies the complex structure of traditional feeding mechanisms, significantly reduces manufacturing costs, and improves cost-effectiveness. It abandons traditional electric or pneumatic drive methods, instead utilizing physical principles for driving, thus achieving zero power consumption. Due to the simple structure of the device and the relatively intuitive connection and cooperation between components, operators can more quickly locate problems and take corresponding measures during routine maintenance or troubleshooting, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs. By adjusting the weight of the weight and the stiffness of the elastic element, it can flexibly adapt to the needs of different materials and feeding speeds.

[0036] This utility model embodiment provides a non-electrically powered feeding device for conveying material 700, comprising: a support base 100, on which symmetrical grooves 110 are arranged; a first limiting plate 210 disposed at one end of the grooves 110; a second limiting plate 220 movably disposed at the end of the grooves 110 away from the first limiting plate 210; an elastic element 300, one end of which is connected to the second limiting plate 220, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the support base 100; a pulley disposed at the bottom of the support base 100; and a connecting rope 510, one end of which is connected to the elastic element 300, and the other end of which is connected to a weight 520 via the pulley.

[0037] Specifically, the support base 100 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 110; a first limiting plate 210 is located at one end of the sliding groove 110; a second limiting plate 220 is movably located at the end of the sliding groove 110 away from the first limiting plate 210; one end of the elastic element 300 is connected to the second limiting plate 220, and the other end of the elastic element 300 is fixedly connected to the support base 100; a pulley is located at the bottom of the support base 100; one end of the connecting rope 510 is connected to the elastic element 300, and the other end of the connecting rope 510 is connected to the weight 520 through the pulley. Using the pulley and weight 520 for driving significantly reduces energy consumption, simplifies the complex structure of traditional feeding mechanisms, significantly reduces manufacturing costs, and improves cost-effectiveness. It abandons the traditional electric or pneumatic drive method and instead utilizes physical principles for driving, thus achieving zero power consumption. Because the device structure is simple and the connection and cooperation between components are relatively intuitive, operators can more quickly locate problems and take corresponding measures during daily maintenance or troubleshooting, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs. By adjusting the weight of the weight 520 and the stiffness of the elastic element 300, the requirements of different materials 700 and feeding speeds can be flexibly adapted.

[0038] In some embodiments, the support base 100 has a rectangular plate structure, and there are two slide grooves 110. The two slide grooves 110 are symmetrically arranged on the support base 100. The two ends of the second limiting plate 220 are respectively connected to the two slide grooves 110, and the second limiting plate 220 slides along the slide grooves 110.

[0039] Specifically, the support base 100 is a rectangular plate, and the surface of the rectangular plate is provided with two parallel sliding grooves 110. The sliding grooves 110 are hollow grooves and are parallel to the rectangular plate, so as to facilitate the relative movement of the second limiting plate 220 along the sliding grooves 110.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first limiting plate 210 has an L-shaped structure and is vertically connected to one end of the support base 100. The second limiting plate 220 passes through the slide groove 110 and is connected to the elastic member 300. One end of the second limiting plate 220 is used to clamp the material 700, and the other end of the second limiting plate 220 is vertically connected to the slide groove 110 and slides along the slide groove 110.

[0041] Specifically, the first limiting plate 210 is fixedly installed at one bottom end of the support base 100, and the second limiting plate 220 is movably installed on the slide groove 110. The second limiting plate 220 moves relative to the slide groove 110 through the elastic member 300. The material 700 is placed between the first limiting plate 210 and the second limiting plate 220. The material 700 is conveyed by the sliding and changing position of the second limiting plate 220.

[0042] In some embodiments, the elastic element 300 is a tension spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to one end of the support base 100 near the second limiting plate 220, and the other end of which is connected to the second limiting plate 220 through the connecting plate 120.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pulleys include a first pulley 410 and a second pulley 420, which are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting rope 510 is a steel wire rope, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the second limiting plate 220, and the other end of which is connected to the first pulley 410 via the second pulley 420.

[0045] In some other embodiments, other connecting ropes 510 may be used, as long as they can achieve the stretching effect through pulleys, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In some embodiments, a weight 520 is movably connected to the wire rope at the end of the first pulley 410. Specifically, the weight of the weight 520 combined with the pulley and wire rope enables the horizontal feeding of the material 700 by gravity. Since the material 700 (the unopened color box) has a certain tension (elasticity), the required thrust is larger when the material is full and smaller when the material is low. Therefore, a linearly varying thrust is required. Thus, two tension springs are used to balance the required force. When the material is full, the tension springs are not stretched, and the thrust is at its maximum. When the material is low, the tension springs are stretched to their maximum, and the force of the tension springs is at its maximum. The thrust is the weight minus the tension of the tension springs.

[0047] In some embodiments, a baffle 610 is further included, which is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support base 100. The baffle 610 is perpendicular to the first limiting plate 210 and the second limiting plate 220. The first limiting plate 210 and the second limiting plate 220, together with the two baffles 610, form a rectangular frame in which the material 700 is stacked. By adjusting the position of the second limiting plate 220, the material 700 is pushed to feed.

[0048] In some embodiments, an adjusting member 620 is also included. One end of the adjusting member 620 is connected to the side wall of the support base 100, and the other end of the adjusting member 620 is connected to the baffle 610. The adjusting member 620 is used to adjust the position of the baffle 610.

[0049] In this embodiment, the adjusting member 620 is a plug-in rod that is inserted into each other. By moving the position of the plug-in rod, the up-down and left-right positions of the baffle 610 are driven, so that the position of the baffle 610 can be adjusted.

[0050] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
