[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 A guide mechanism for a screw feeder includes a feeder body 1, feeding holes 2 are equidistantly installed on the top side of one side of the feeder body 1, L-plates 3 are installed at the front and rear ends of the top side of one side of the feeder body 1, fixing plates 4 are installed at opposite ends of the two L-plates 3, a through hole 5 is opened through the top of the fixing plate 4, and a guide component 6 is provided inside the through hole 5.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the front and rear ends of the feeder body 1 are each equipped with a support plate 7 that abuts against the bottom of the L plate 3. The support plate 7 and the parallel end of the L plate 3 are connected and fixed by bolts. The support plate 7 is used to support the L plate 3, and the bolts make the fixation between the L plate 3 and the support plate 7 more stable, thereby making the fixing plate 4 more stable.

[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, the guide assembly 6 includes a connecting groove 601 opened on both sides of the through hole 5. Two sets of partition plates 602 are installed equidistantly inside the connecting groove 601. Fixed rods 603 are installed equidistantly inside the connecting groove 601. A sliding seat 604 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the fixed rod 603. A guide seat 605 is installed on the opposite side of the sliding seat 604. By setting three sets of guide seats 605, multiple feeding holes 2 can be guided and fed at the same time. Multiple conveyor lines can be guided at the same time. Furthermore, the position of the guide seat 605 inside the through hole 5 can be adjusted by the fixed rod 603 and the sliding seat 604, so as to adapt to screw feeders of different sizes and specifications, and has a wide range of applications.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the guide seat 605 includes a guide tube 1 8 installed on one side of the sliding seat 604, a guide tube 2 9 installed at the bottom of the guide tube 1 8, and a guide tube 3 10 that can extend and retract vertically installed at the bottom of the guide tube 2 9. The guide tube 3 10 can be inserted into the inside of the feed hole 2 for positioning, thereby controlling and fixing the position of the guide seat 605. Then, the screw below the feed hole 2 can be adsorbed by inserting the air suction component of the prior art into the inside of the guide seat 605.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a T-shaped groove 11 is provided on the inner side of the guide tube 2 9. A threaded rod 12 is provided inside the T-shaped groove 11, which is threaded through to the top of the guide tube 2 9. The bottom of the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to a connecting ring plate 13 fixed to the top of the guide tube 3 10. The threaded rod 12 and the guide tube 2 9 are threadedly connected. By rotating the threaded rod 12, the connecting ring plate 13 can be moved up and down, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the guide tube 3 10. This allows it to adapt to feed holes 2 of different heights, with high adaptability and good practicality.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an inclined annular block 14 is installed on the inner bottom of the guide tube 3 10. The inclined annular block 14 can support the position of the existing air suction component, avoiding direct contact between the suction head of the air suction component and the screw feeder, which may cause damage.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the support plate 7 supports the L-plate 3, and the bolts make the fixation between the L-plate 3 and the support plate 7 more stable, thus making the fixing plate 4 more stable. Three sets of guide seats 605 can simultaneously guide the feeding of multiple feed holes 2, allowing for simultaneous guidance on multiple transport lines. The fixed rod 603 and sliding seat 604 can adjust the position of the guide seat 605 inside the through hole 5, thus adapting to screw feeders of different sizes and specifications, resulting in a wide range of applications. The guide tube 10 can be inserted into the feed hole 2 for positioning, thereby... By controlling the position of the fixed guide seat 605, the screw below the feed hole 2 can be adsorbed by inserting the air suction component into the inside of the guide seat 605. The threaded rod 12 and the guide tube 2 9 are connected by a thread. By rotating the threaded rod 12, the connecting ring plate 13 can be moved up and down, which in turn controls the up and down movement of the guide tube 3 10. This allows it to adapt to feed holes 2 of different heights, with high adaptability and good practicality. The inclined ring block 14 can support the position of the air suction component, avoiding direct contact between the suction head of the air suction component and the screw feeder, which may cause damage.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
