Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, specifically an automated feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] Conveyor belts are commonly used equipment for automated material feeding. With the continuous development of economy and technology, automated material feeding via conveyor belts has become an important part of high-tech industries and is widely used in various fields, especially in loading and unloading materials within factories to move to the next production line, which greatly speeds up work efficiency.

[0003] For example, the electrical automation feeding device with application number CN202122024045.0 includes a support platform, a conveyor belt, and a screening mechanism. By setting the connection relationship between the screening cylinder, rotating rod, rotating gear, linkage gear, and screening trough, the product material is put into the screening cylinder, and the rotation of the linkage gear drives the screening cylinder to rotate, so that qualified material is discharged from the screening cylinder through the screening trough. Furthermore, by setting the tilt direction of the moving plate, the qualified material slides onto the conveyor belt for conveying.

[0004] When automatic feeding devices transport materials processed in a factory, they usually place the materials directly on the conveyor belt and then transport the materials to the end of the conveyor belt. Under the inertia of the end of the conveyor belt, the materials are automatically unloaded. This setting causes the materials to fall directly to the ground, which can easily cause damage to the materials.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an automated feeding system to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated feeding system to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where materials are automatically fed at the end of the conveyor belt due to inertia, causing them to fall directly onto the ground and easily damage the materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated feeding system, including a bottom support and a conveying support set on the upper end of the bottom support. A drive motor is installed at one end of the conveying support, and the output end of the drive motor is movably connected to a conveyor belt through a roller shaft. A driven roller is movably installed at the other end of the conveyor belt. A material guiding component is pressed and fixed at one end of the conveying support. The material guiding component is set to guide the material on the upper end of the conveyor belt. A lifting component is movably installed in the middle of the lower end of the material guiding component. The lifting component is set to change the setting angle of the material guiding component.

[0008] The material guiding assembly includes a connecting mechanism and an extension mechanism movably mounted on the middle of the outer surface of the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism is configured to drive the extension mechanism to fix its installation position.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes an H-shaped connecting rod and threaded grooves respectively formed in the middle of both sides of the outer wall of the H-shaped connecting rod.

[0010] Preferably, a T-shaped threaded block is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded groove, and rotating rings are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the T-shaped threaded block by round rods.

[0011] Preferably, the extension mechanism includes a circular block and a through circular groove formed in the middle of one end of the circular block, and an extended guide plate is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the circular block.

[0012] Preferably, a right-angled triangular block is fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the extended guide plate, and vertical blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower middle part of the right-angled triangular block, and a movable shaft is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of a set of vertical blocks.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a fixed base plate and an electric telescopic column fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the fixed base plate, and a hollow cylinder is fixedly installed at the upper end of the electric telescopic column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. When the material slides to the end of the conveyor belt, it will slide directly into the upper part of the circular block and the extended guide plate. The material is then guided directly to the ground through the extended guide plate, completing the unloading process. By adjusting the height of the electric telescopic column, the hollow cylinder, the right-angled triangular block and the extended guide plate will be adjusted together, thereby changing the slope of the extended guide plate, adjusting the sliding speed of the material and improving the safety of the automated feeding device for material unloading.

[0016] 2. By rotating the rotating rings that are threaded to the middle of both ends of the H-type connecting rod through the T-type threaded blocks in the forward direction, the rotating rings drive the T-type threaded blocks to adjust their length, so that the T-type threaded blocks press against both ends of the inner wall of the conveying bracket, thereby completing the position pressing and fixing of the connecting mechanism.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 An automated feeding system includes a bottom support 1 and a conveyor support 2 disposed on the upper end of the bottom support 1. A drive motor 3 is installed at one end of the conveyor support 2. The output end of the drive motor 3 is movably connected to a conveyor belt 5 via a roller shaft. A driven roller 4 is movably installed at the other end of the conveyor belt 5. A material guide component 6 is pressed and fixed at one end of the conveyor support 2. The material guide component 6 is configured to guide the material on the upper end of the conveyor belt 5. A lifting component 7 is movably installed at the lower middle part of the material guide component 6. The lifting component 7 is configured to change the setting angle of the material guide component 6.

[0024] The material guiding assembly 6 includes a connecting mechanism 61 and an extension mechanism 62 movably mounted on the middle of the outer surface of the connecting mechanism 61. The connecting mechanism 61 is configured to drive the extension mechanism 62 to be fixed in the installation position.

[0025] The extension mechanism 62 includes a circular block 621 and a through circular groove 622 opened in the middle of one end of the circular block 621. An extended guide plate 623 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the circular block 621. An H-shaped connecting rod 611 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the through circular groove 622. The extended guide plate 623 is movably connected to the circular block 621 and the H-shaped connecting rod 611.

[0026] A right-angled triangular block 624 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the extended guide plate 623. Vertical blocks 625 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower middle part of the right-angled triangular block 624. A movable shaft 626 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner cavity of a set of vertical blocks 625. The right-angled triangular block 624 is set to be suitable for the electric telescopic column 72 to be installed vertically on the ground.

[0027] The lifting assembly 7 includes a fixed base plate 71 and an electric telescopic column 72 fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the fixed base plate 71. A hollow cylinder 73 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the electric telescopic column 72, and a movable shaft 626 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the hollow cylinder 73.

[0028] In daily use, the base plate 71 is fixed by screws to improve the stability of the lifting assembly 7.

[0029] The electric telescopic column 72 is used to drive the hollow cylinder 73, the right-angled triangular block 624 and the extended guide plate 623 to adjust their distance from the ground, thereby changing the setting angle of the extended guide plate 623.

[0030] In this embodiment: when the conveyor belt 5 is conveying the material, the material slides to the end of the conveyor belt 5 under the drive of the conveyor belt 5, and will directly slide into the upper end of the circular block 621 and the extended guide plate 623. It is then directly guided to the ground through the extended guide plate 623 to complete the unloading. At the same time, the operator can adjust the height of the electric telescopic column 72 to drive the hollow cylinder 73, the right-angled triangular block 624 and the extended guide plate 623 to adjust their heights together. This causes the other side of the extended guide plate 623 to drive the circular block 621 to rotate around the H-shaped connecting rod 611, thereby changing the slope of the extended guide plate 623 to adjust the sliding speed of the material. This allows for flexible use and improves the safety of the automated feeding device for material unloading.

[0031] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The connecting mechanism 61 includes an H-shaped connecting rod 611 and threaded grooves 612 respectively opened in the middle of both sides of the outer wall of the H-shaped connecting rod 611.

[0032] A T-shaped threaded block 613 is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded groove 612. Rotating rings 614 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the T-shaped threaded block 613 by round rods. The rotating rings 614 are designed to drive the T-shaped threaded block 613 to rotate, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the material guide assembly 6.

[0033] In this embodiment: by rotating the rotating ring 614, which is threaded to the middle of both ends of the H-shaped connecting rod 611 via the T-shaped threaded block 613, in the forward direction, the rotating ring 614 drives the T-shaped threaded block 613 to adjust its length, so that the T-shaped threaded block 613 presses against both ends of the inner wall of the conveying bracket 2, thereby completing the positional pressing and fixing of the connecting mechanism 61. Conversely, by rotating the rotating ring 614 in the reverse direction, the T-shaped threaded block 613 can be retracted into the inner cavity of the threaded groove 612, thus completing the disassembly of the connecting mechanism 61.

[0034] Working principle: By rotating the rotating ring 614, which is threaded to the middle of both ends of the H-type connecting rod 611 via the T-type threaded block 613, in a forward direction, the rotating ring 614 drives the T-type threaded block 613 to adjust its length. This causes the T-type threaded block 613 to press against both ends of the inner wall of the conveyor bracket 2, thereby fixing the position of the connecting mechanism 61. The material, driven by the conveyor belt 5, slides to the end of the conveyor belt 5 and slides directly into the upper end of the round block 621 and the extended guide plate 623. It is then guided directly to the ground through the extended guide plate 623, completing the unloading. At the same time, the operator can adjust the height of the electric telescopic column 72, which drives the hollow cylinder 73, the right-angled triangular block 624, and the extended guide plate 623 to adjust their heights together. This causes the other side of the extended guide plate 623 to drive the round block 621 to rotate around the H-type connecting rod 611, thereby changing the slope of the extended guide plate 623 and adjusting the sliding speed of the material.

[0035] The drive motor 3 and electric telescopic column 72 mentioned above can be purchased from the market. They are mature technologies and have been fully disclosed. Therefore, they will not be described again in the instruction manual. The drive motor 3 and electric telescopic column 72 are equipped with power connection lines. They are electrically connected to the external main controller and 220V phase voltage (or 380V line voltage) through the power connection lines. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role.

[0036] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
