[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, in actual manufacturing, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figures 1-5 The diagram shown is a complete structural schematic of an automatic glass bead dispenser according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-5 This embodiment of an automatic glass bead dispenser includes a support frame 100. A storage tank 200 is disposed on the upper side of one side of the support frame 100, and an elastic vibration assembly 300 for mounting the storage tank 200. The storage tank 200 has a funnel-shaped chamber structure inside and a discharge port 201 is disposed at the bottom of the chamber. A slowing drive box 400 is disposed on the bottom outer side of the storage tank 200. The top output end of the slowing drive box 400 is connected to and corresponds to the discharge port 201, and the bottom output end of the slowing drive box 400 has a discharge function. The nozzle 440 is a material outlet. The material drive box 400 guides the glass beads in the storage box 200 to the outlet nozzle 440 in a quantitative and uniform manner. The outlet nozzle 440 is equipped with a slightly inclined distribution plate 500 below it, and the inclined end of the distribution plate 500 is located at the lower end of the outlet nozzle 440. The distribution plate 500 is provided with at least a plurality of tower-shaped leakage holes 510 along its length. The material collection box 600 is provided below the distribution plate 500. The inner side of the material collection box 600 has a distribution groove 610 that is perpendicular to each hole groove of the tower-shaped leakage holes 510.

[0024] The elastic vibration assembly 300 includes fixed ears 310 fixed to both sides of the storage box 200, multiple spring legs 320 connected to the bottom of the fixed ears 310, a suspension plate 330 for supporting the bottom of the spring legs 320 and fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 100, and a vibration motor 340 disposed on one side of the storage box 200. It can be understood that the vibration motor 340, in cooperation with the support spring legs 320 and fixed ears 310, can drive the storage box 200 to form high-frequency micro-vibration, so that the glass beads material deposited in the storage box 200 can smoothly enter the discharge port 201 and the slow-moving drive box 400, while preventing material discharge blockage. The deceleration drive box 400 has a circular cavity 401 inside, and a feed inlet 402 at the top of the cavity 401 that leads directly to the discharge port 201. A roller 410, coaxial with the cavity 401, is rotatably mounted inside the cavity 401. Material-pushing blades 420 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the roller 410. A servo motor 430 is also provided on one side of the deceleration drive box 400 to drive the roller 410 to rotate. Glass beads falling from the discharge port 201 converge at the feed inlet 402. Simultaneously, the servo motor 430 drives the roller 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the material-pushing blades 420 to continuously and uniformly push a small number of glass beads from the feed inlet 402 to the discharge nozzle 440 where they fall. This prevents concentrated material output that could hinder the sorting process of the distribution plate 500, making it simple and practical. The inclined end of the distribution plate 500 is also provided with a guide groove 420 adjacent to the upper port of the tower-shaped discharge hole 510, and the guide groove 420 is located directly below the discharge nozzle 440. Here, the inner side of the guide groove 420 has multiple V-shaped grooves that are respectively connected to the upper port of each tower-shaped discharge hole 510, the purpose of which is to smoothly guide the falling glass beads to each discharge hole. Specifically, in this embodiment, by introducing the mixed glass beads into the storage box 200 and then activating the device, the glass beads in the box can fall smoothly into the slow-moving drive box 400 with the cooperation of the elastic vibration component 300. The slow-moving drive box 400 can quantitatively receive the glass beads and continuously push a small number of glass beads at a uniform speed and linearly to the discharge nozzle 440 and drop them into the guide groove 520. The guide groove 520 disperses the glass beads to each tower-shaped discharge hole 510. While the glass beads roll in the tower-shaped discharge holes 510, the glass beads with diameters from small to large will gradually fall into the corresponding discharge holes and then fall into the corresponding distribution groove 610 of the collection box 600. In this way, the effort and manpower consumption caused by manual sorting can be effectively saved, the distribution efficiency can be effectively improved, and the possibility of glass bead misplacement during the experiment can be avoided, ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment and the experimental results.

[0025] Preferably, the top opening of the storage bin 200 is further equipped with a cover plate 210, which also has a handle 211. It is understood that glass beads can be put into the storage bin 200 by opening the cover plate 210, and the cover plate 210 can be closed when not in use to prevent dust and debris from entering.

[0026] As a preferred option, an observation window 220 is further provided on one side of the storage bin 200, and the observation window 220 is close to the discharge port 201. During use, the operator can use the observation window 220 to see how much glass bead material is left in the storage bin 200, and can put the remaining glass beads outside the bin into the storage bin 200 before the end of the process, further improving the distribution efficiency.

[0027] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame 100 is further fixed with a base plate 110, and a side plate 120 is fixed to one side of the base plate 110. One side of the side plate 120 has a support crossbar 130 that is fixedly installed with the distribution plate 500. It can be understood that the distribution plate 500 can be suspended and fixed by the side plate 120 and the support crossbar 130, thereby ensuring the normal use of the distribution plate 500.

[0028] In summary, the automatic glass bead dispenser of this embodiment, when in use, involves introducing mixed glass beads into the storage bin 200, and then activating the device. With the cooperation of the elastic vibration component 300, the glass beads in the bin smoothly fall into the slow-feed drive box 400. The slow-feed drive box 400 can quantitatively receive glass beads and continuously push a small number of glass beads at a uniform speed and linearly to the discharge nozzle 440 and drop them into the guide groove 520. The guide groove 520 disperses the glass beads to various tower-shaped discharge holes 510. While the glass beads roll in the tower-shaped discharge holes 510, glass beads with diameters increasing from small to large will gradually fall into the corresponding discharge holes and then into the corresponding distribution groove 610 of the collection box 600. In this way, the effort and manpower consumption caused by manual sorting can be effectively saved, the distribution efficiency can be effectively improved, and the possibility of glass bead misplacement during experiments can be avoided.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
