Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, and in particular to an adjustable active feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Feeding mechanisms are an indispensable part of automated production, used to transport sheet metal or workpieces to the next device or for centralized storage. However, most existing feeding mechanisms are fixed on the frame, with non-adjustable feeding angles. When not transporting workpieces, they occupy a lot of space, affecting operator access and resulting in low space utilization. Chinese patent CN201420734731.4 discloses an adjustable feeding plate, which includes a feeding plate, a movable frame, a motor, pulleys, and baffles. The feeding plate is composed of a frame and rollers, and its surface is covered with a conveyor belt. The feeding plate is characterized by: an upper and lower section connected by bearings, with a rubber conveyor belt on its surface; a motor on one side of the upper section, with the frames on both sides extending above the plate surface; the motor connected to rollers inside the feeding plate; baffles on the surface of the rubber conveyor belt and inclined baffles at the bottom; movable frames on both sides of the feeding plate, each consisting of a support and a positioning frame; the support consists of two vertical sliding components connected by a crossbar, with grooves on the surface and pulleys at both ends of the bottom; the positioning frame is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper frame of the feeding plate, with sliders on both sides, the sliders positioned within grooves in the support, screws inside the sliders, and knobs connected to the screws on the sides; and a movable frame at the lower part of the feeding plate, allowing for precise adjustment of the feeding plate height.

[0003] The above solution allows for adjustment of the angle of the feeding mechanism, but it does not solve the problem of low space utilization caused by the space occupied. Utility Model Content

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an adjustable active feeding mechanism provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in further detail below. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of this utility model herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] like Figure 1The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an adjustable active feeding mechanism provided by this utility model. The adjustable active feeding mechanism includes a machine base 10, a feeding device 20 rotatably mounted on the machine base 10, and a telescopic cylinder 30 connecting the machine base 10 and the feeding device 20. It is conceivable that the adjustable active feeding mechanism also includes other functional structures, such as bushings, angle iron connectors, etc., which are technologies well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0017] The machine platform 10 is fixedly installed on the ground. The machine platform 10 is hollow as a whole, so that it can accommodate a part of the feeding device 20.

[0018] The feeding device 20 includes a bracket 21 rotatably mounted on the machine base 10, a conveying mechanism 22 mounted on the bracket 21, and a driving mechanism 23 mounted on the bracket 21.

[0019] The support 21 includes a connecting part 211 that is rotatably connected to the machine base 10, and a bearing part 212 disposed on one end of the connecting part 211.

[0020] The connecting part 211 is rotatably connected to the machine base 10 via a rotating shaft 213, and the width of the connecting part 211 is smaller than the opening width of the machine base 10, so that the connecting part 211 can be accommodated in the machine base 10.

[0021] The supporting part 212 and the connecting part 211 have a 90-degree angle. The supporting part 212 and the connecting part 211 are integrated, improving the overall rigidity. A connecting seat 214 is provided on the end face of the supporting part 212 facing the telescopic cylinder 30. The connecting seat 214 is used to connect the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 30, and is rotatably connected to the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 30.

[0022] The conveying mechanism 22 includes a first driven wheel 221 disposed on one end of the support portion 212 near the connecting portion 211, a second driven wheel 222 disposed on the other end of the support portion 212, a plurality of tensioning wheels 223 disposed on the support portion 212, and a conveyor belt 224 sleeved on the first driven wheel 221 and the second driven wheel 222. The number of tensioning wheels 223 can be set according to actual needs and is at least one. In this embodiment, there are two tensioning wheels 223, both of which are disposed on the support portion 212 and distributed on both sides of the conveyor belt 224, thereby keeping the conveyor belt 224 taut. The tensioning wheel 223 is connected to the bearing part 212 by bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole on the tensioning wheel 223 to fix the tensioning wheel 223 to the bearing part 212. The position of the tensioning wheel 223 on the bearing part 212 can be adjusted through the waist-shaped hole to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 224.

[0023] The drive mechanism 23 includes a drive motor 231 disposed on one side of the bearing portion 212, and a transmission belt 232 connecting the drive motor 231 and the first driven wheel 221.

[0024] The drive motor 231 drives the first driven wheel 221 to rotate via the transmission belt 232, thereby driving the conveyor belt 224 to operate.

[0025] One end of the telescopic cylinder 30 is rotatably connected to the machine base 10. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 214. The telescopic cylinder 30 is connected to an external air pump (not shown) to obtain power to drive the extension and retraction of its movable end.

[0026] In use, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 30 retracts, causing the bracket 21 to rotate along the position of the connecting part 211 and the rotating shaft 213, so that the feeding device 20 can be folded and stored, reducing space occupation. When the feeding device 20 needs to be used, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 30 is driven to extend, so that the feeding device 20 can be folded to the working angle.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable active feeding mechanism provided by this utility model is rotatably connected to the bracket 21 and the machine base 10 through a rotating shaft 213, so that the feeding device 20 can be folded along the rotating shaft 213 to reduce the space occupied when idle, and the tilt angle of the feeding device 20 can be adjusted according to the needs to improve the feeding efficiency.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present utility model are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
