Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for ball head processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive industry, a ball joint, also known as a universal joint or ball hinge, is an important component of a car's suspension and steering system. Its main function is to connect suspension or steering components and allow these components to rotate freely within a specific range to adapt to uneven road surfaces and the needs of vehicle cornering.
[0003] In the current industrial environment, ball head processing is generally automated through automatic equipment. Manual feeding is not only inefficient, but also carries the risk of fingers getting caught in the machine. Therefore, automatic feeding equipment is used. In existing technology, automatic feeding equipment generally uses a vibratory feeder to sort the materials, which then fall directly into the feeding trough via a track. A cylinder is then used to push the materials. However, the instability of the vibratory feeder's feeding speed can cause workpieces to accumulate or create large gaps on the track, affecting the cylinder's feeding operation. There is room for improvement in existing feeding equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an automatic feeding device for ball head processing, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

The upper end of the transmission plate away from the feeding cylinder is fixedly connected to the feeding top rod. A spring rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission plate away from the feeding cylinder. A return spring is provided on the outer side of the spring rod.
[0007] According to the automatic feeding device for ball head processing, the thickness of the plastic plate corresponds to the diameter of the ball head, the buffer track completely penetrates the plastic plate, the position of the buffer track corresponds to the position of the receiving groove, and the overall length of the plastic plate corresponds to the sliding stroke of the receiving plate.
[0008] According to the automatic feeding device for ball head processing, the output end of the double cylinder is fixedly connected to the receiving plate via a connecting seat.
[0009] According to the automatic feeding device for ball head processing, a vibratory feeder is provided at the end of the feeding track away from the buffer track, and a laser counter is provided above the middle of the feeding track.
[0010] According to the automatic feeding device for ball head processing, the end of the spring rod away from the transmission plate passes through the feeding table and is slidably connected to the feeding table.

[0014] 2. By embedding a plastic plate in the travel area of the receiving plate, this utility model can take advantage of the low strength of plastic and greatly reduce the friction of the receiving plate when it slides back and forth through its own wear, thereby reducing the wear on the next workpiece to be fed and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for ball head processing, including a worktable 1 and a feeding track 2. A receiving seat 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper part of the worktable 1. The feeding track 2 is set above the receiving seat 4. A vibratory feeder is set at the end of the feeding track 2 away from the buffer track 3. A laser counter is set above the middle part of the feeding track 2. A buffer track 3 is set vertically at the end of the feeding track 2. A workpiece buffer can be established at the end of the feeding track 2 to effectively reduce the accumulation and empty space phenomenon that may occur during operation.
[0025] A cylinder mounting base 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 1 away from the receiving base 4. A feeding platform 8 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the worktable 1 between the receiving base 4 and the cylinder mounting base 12. A receiving plate 5 is slidably connected above the receiving base 4. A plastic plate 6 is fixedly embedded at the end of the receiving plate 5 away from the cylinder mounting base 12. The top height of the feeding platform 8 corresponds to the bottom height of the plastic plate 6. A receiving groove 7 is opened in the middle of the end of the plastic plate 6 near the cylinder mounting base 12. The thickness of the plastic plate 6 corresponds to the diameter of the ball head. The buffer track 3 completely penetrates the plastic plate 6. The position of the buffer track 3 corresponds to the position of the receiving groove 7. The overall length of the plastic plate 6 corresponds to the sliding stroke of the receiving plate 5. By embedding the plastic plate 6 in the stroke area of the receiving plate 5, the low strength characteristics of plastic can be utilized to greatly reduce the frictional wear of the receiving plate 5 on the next workpiece to be fed when it slides back and forth, thereby reducing the wear of the workpiece.
[0026] A connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the receiving plate 5 near the cylinder fixing seat 12. A double cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the cylinder fixing seat 12 at the position corresponding to the connecting seat 11. The output end of the double cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the receiving plate 5 through the connecting seat 11. Driven by the double cylinder 13, the receiving groove 7 on the receiving plate 5 moves back and forth to transport a single workpiece to the pushing position in sequence, so as to facilitate the feeding cylinder 14 to push the material and stabilize the feeding speed.
[0027] A V-shaped feeding groove 9 is provided in the upper center of the feeding platform 8. A feeding top rod 10 is provided at the bottom inner side of the V-shaped feeding groove 9. A feeding cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the feeding platform 8 near the cylinder fixing seat 12.

The end of the spring rod 16 away from the transmission plate 15 passes through the feeding platform 8 and is slidably connected to the feeding platform 8. After the feeding cylinder 14 pushes the workpiece to feed, the return spring 17 can be used to quickly reset the workpiece.
[0028] Working principle: This utility model is equipped with a buffer track 3, which, together with the receiving plate 5 and the receiving groove 7, can establish a workpiece buffer at the end of the feeding track 2, effectively reducing the accumulation and empty space that may occur during operation. Driven by the double cylinder 13, the receiving groove 7 on the receiving plate 5 moves back and forth, transporting individual workpieces to the pushing position in sequence, which facilitates the feeding cylinder 14 to push the workpiece and stabilize the feeding speed. Furthermore, by embedding a plastic plate 6 in the stroke area of the receiving plate 5, the low strength of the plastic can be utilized to greatly reduce the frictional wear of the receiving plate 5 on the next workpiece to be fed when it slides back and forth, thereby reducing the wear of the workpiece.
