DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Now the utility model will be further described in detail in conjunction with the drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic views, and only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, so it only shows the structure related to the utility model.

[0025] Please note that the "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top end", "top", "bottom end", "bottom" and the like used by the utility model to describe the positional relationship do not represent the absolute positional relationship between each module / component / assembly / part / element, but the relative positional relationship between each module / component / assembly / part / element.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A fixed distance counting feeding mechanism, as shown in Figures 1-3 It comprises: V type feeding channel 1, fixed distance counting mechanism 2 and hopper mechanism 3 connected with support 4 and communicated in sequence through V type adapter 6, and the feeding end of V type feeding channel 1 is higher than the discharging end.

[0028] The fixed distance counting mechanism 2 comprises: second V type channel 201, and the feeding end of the second V type channel 201 is higher than the discharging end. The second V type channel 201 is provided with fixed position gate mechanism 202 or adjustable position gate mechanism 203 on one side close to the feeding end and one side close to the discharging end respectively, and at least one side is adjustable position gate mechanism 203.

[0029] The tipping mechanism 3 comprises a third V-shaped channel 301, the feeding end of which is higher than the discharging end. One side of the third V-shaped channel 301 is rotationally connected with the support 4, and the other side is rotationally connected with the telescopic end of the air cylinder 7. The fixed end of the air cylinder 7 is rotationally connected with the support 4.

[0030] The use process of the mechanism is as follows: the steel balls to be heat treated are placed at the feeding end of the V-shaped feeding channel 1, at this time, the steel balls to be heat treated roll down from the feeding end of the V-shaped feeding channel 1 under the action of gravity, and successively pass through the discharging end of the V-shaped feeding channel 1, and enter the feeding end of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 through a V-shaped adapter 6. At this time, the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 close to the feeding end of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 is in an open state, and the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the discharging end is in a closed state. The steel balls roll into the second V-shaped channel 201 of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 and are stopped from rolling by the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the discharging end. When the steel balls rolled into the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 exceed the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the feeding end, the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the feeding end of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 is closed, and the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the discharging end is opened, so that the steel balls on the second V-shaped channel 201 that are not blocked by the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 or the position-adjustable gate mechanism 203 at the feeding end roll into the third V-shaped channel 301 of the tipping mechanism 3. After all the steel balls roll into the third V-shaped channel 301, the air cylinder 7 pushes the third V-shaped channel 301 to overturn, so that the steel balls roll into the target position laterally, and the feeding is completed.

[0031] The present utility model adjusts the distance between the gate mechanisms at the feeding end and the discharging end of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2, so as to realize the fixed-length counting of the steel balls. For example, if the target loading mechanism should add 20 steel balls with a diameter of 4 cm, the distance between the gate mechanisms at the feeding end and the discharging end of the fixed-distance counting mechanism 2 is adjusted to 80 cm, so that the number of steel balls with a diameter of 4 cm entering the tipping mechanism 3 each time is 20. It can be seen that the present utility model realizes the adjustable counting and feeding treatment of the steel balls to be treated by a simple mechanical mechanism, and the height difference between the V-shaped channels is set, so that the steel balls can realize the circulation between the mechanisms by free rolling. Therefore, the present utility model has the advantages of low cost, reliable operation and counting, compact structure, easy maintenance, no need for manual arrangement, and high economic benefit.

[0034] The mechanism can realize the blocking or unblocking action of the gate blade 204 relative to the second V-shaped channel 201 through the control of the control mechanism 205 on the gate blade 204.

[0035] Embodiment 3

The connecting frames 207 on the same side of the second V-shaped channel 201 form a group, and each group has at least two connecting frames 207. The connecting frames 207 on the end side are each fixed with a first driving device 208, and the first driving devices 208 on the same side are arranged opposite to each other and jointly drive a first screw rod 209 to rotate. The first screw rods 209 arranged on both sides of the second V-shaped channel 201 are located on the same horizontal plane and are respectively screwed with a gate connecting block 210.

[0037] The device synchronously drives the first screw rods 209 on both sides of the second V-shaped channel 201 to rotate through the first driving devices 208, so that the two gate connecting blocks 210 synchronously and in the same direction displace along the corresponding first screw rods 209, thereby driving the fixed-position gate mechanism 202 fixed with the two gate connecting blocks 210 to displace relative to the second V-shaped channel 201, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the distance between the two gate mechanisms.

[0038] Embodiment 4

[0039] Based on the fixed-distance counting and feeding mechanism of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the control mechanism 205 includes a connecting plate A2052-A fixedly installed on at least one end side wall of the gate blade 204.

The screw rod 2051-A is driven to rotate by a speed reducer.

[0040] At this time, the screw 2051-A is driven to rotate by the speed reducer, so that the connecting plate A 2052-A moves up and down along the screw 2051-A, thereby driving the gate 204 to move up and down along the screw 2051-A, realizing the plugging action of the gate 204 into the second V-shaped channel 201 or the unblocking action of the gate 204 away from the second V-shaped channel 201.

[0041] Embodiment 5

[0042] Based on the fixed-distance counting feeding mechanism of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The control mechanism 205 includes a connecting plate B 2051-B fixedly installed on at least one end side wall of the gate 204, and the side wall along the movement direction of the gate 204 is fixedly connected with the telescopic end 2052-B of the electric control telescopic device 2053-B.

[0044] Embodiment 6

[0045] Based on the fixed-distance counting feeding mechanism of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The side angle of the gate 204 is rotatably connected with the second V-shaped channel 201 through a bearing 2051-C. The control mechanism 205 includes a winch 2054-C, which drives the connecting chain 2052-C to be wound or unwound, and the connecting chain 2052-C is fixedly connected with the bearing 2051-C at the opposite angle of the top end of the gate 204. This structure is suitable for the gate mechanism 202 with a fixed position of the second V-shaped channel 201.

[0046] At this time, by controlling the winch 2054-C to wind the connecting chain 2052-C, the gate 204 can be driven to rotate along the bearing 2051-C until it moves away from the second V-shaped channel 201, thereby realizing the unblocking action. Conversely, the gate 204 is inserted into the second V-shaped channel 201 under the action of its own weight, thereby realizing the plugging action.

[0047] The bearing 2051-C is fixedly connected with a positioning shaft 2053-C vertically above, and the connecting chain 2052-C is arranged above the positioning shaft 2053-C.

[0048] The installation of the positioning shaft 2053-C can relatively fix the movement position of the connecting chain 2052-C, thereby reducing the movement amplitude of the connecting chain 2052-C when it is wound or unwound, and avoiding danger.

[0051] At this time, through the cooperation of the gate slot 206 and the gate 204, the steel ball pressure borne by the gate 204 is converted from being mainly borne by the control mechanism 205 to being mainly borne by the gate slot 206 through the pressing action of the gate surface of the gate 204 and the gate slot 206, thereby reducing the lateral force of the control mechanism 205, protecting the control mechanism 205 and improving the service life of the device.
