Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic feeding equipment, and in particular, an automatic feeding device for aluminum rods. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum rods possess many excellent properties and are widely used in the electronics, automotive, aerospace, chemical, and military industries. However, when using aluminum metal in manufacturing processes, the aluminum rods, after being refined and cast, are typically heated and melted into molten aluminum before use. During the feeding process, the rods can usually only be moved horizontally, and their position cannot be changed, making them impractical.

[0003] A search revealed, for example (Authorization Announcement No. CN216511093U), an automatic aluminum bar feeding device. A slide drive mechanism moves the slide to the right, and a hydraulic cylinder drives the right end of the rotary table to rotate upwards. At this time, the slide gradually rises, placing the aluminum bar at the leftmost end of the storage platform into a slot and detaching it from the storage platform. Under gravity, the penultimate aluminum bar rolls until it contacts the baffle. This device solves the problem of existing equipment being unable to automatically feed aluminum bars cut by a saw. However, this device can only move the aluminum bars on a horizontal plane, making it unsuitable for automatic feeding in higher heating furnaces, thus reducing the device's practicality.

[0028] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0030] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0031] An embodiment of an automatic aluminum rod feeding device, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, including;

[0032] Material plate 1 has four feet welded to its bottom. In order to enable the aluminum rods 2 inside the material plate 1 to move without power, the material plate 1 should be set at an angle. The material plate 1 has several aluminum rods 2 arranged in parallel inside. The angled material plate 1 can provide power to the aluminum rods 2 inside the material plate 1, which is convenient for feeding.

[0033] The lower end of the material plate 1 is provided with multiple rectangular grooves. The inner wall of the rectangular grooves is slidably connected to a separation plate 11. The bottom of the separation plate 11 is welded to a connecting plate 14. The bottom of the connecting plate 14 is also welded to two long plates 16. The bottom of the long plates 16 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for easy connection. The inner wall of the arc-shaped groove is slidably connected to a protrusion 18. The protrusion 18 is welded to the surface of the rotating shaft 17 and is arranged in an equally spaced staggered manner. One end of the rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to a fixing plate 19. One end of the fixing plate 19 is welded to the bottom of the material plate 1. The other end of the rotating shaft 17 is connected to a rotary motor 15 through a coupling. The fixed part of the rotary motor 15 is connected to the fixing frame 20, so that the device forms a structure similar to a cam vibrator. By controlling the output shaft of the rotary motor 15 to rotate, the protrusion 18 is driven to connect with the arc-shaped groove, so that the separation plate 11 can rise and fall inside the rectangular groove, completing the separation and partitioning of the aluminum rods 2 inside the material plate 1, which facilitates material loading.

[0034] Fixing blocks 9 are welded to both sides of the material plate 1. A short electric push rod 3 is screwed to the top of the fixing block 9. The moving part of the short electric push rod 3 is connected to the connecting rod 8. The fixing part of the short electric push rod 3 is not connected to the side wall of the material plate 1. A baffle 10 is welded to the other end of the connecting rod 8. The side wall of the baffle 10 is fixed to the connecting rod 8 by a welded triangular plate. The triangular plate makes the connection between the connecting rod 8 and the baffle 10 more stable. The bottom of the baffle 10 abuts against the limiting groove 12. The limiting groove 12 is set at the lower end of the material plate 1. The baffle 10 can prevent other aluminum rods 2 from rolling and slipping when the aluminum rods 2 are automatically fed.

[0035] The connecting frame 7 has its side wall connected to the end of the material plate 1. The interior of the connecting frame 7 has a semi-circular groove 13 for limiting the aluminum rod 2. The bottom of the connecting frame 7 is rotatably connected to a fixed box 6. One end of the fixed box 6 is screwed to a drive motor 4 that provides power. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 passes through the connecting frame 7 and is connected to a transmission shaft set inside it. An adapter block is connected to the surface of the transmission shaft and is fixed to the connecting frame 7. By controlling the output shaft of the drive motor 4 to rotate, the connected transmission shaft is driven to rotate inside the fixed box 6. The rotation of the transmission shaft can drive the connected adapter block to drive the connecting frame 7 to rotate, thereby allowing the aluminum rod 2 placed inside the groove 13 to be discharged, which is convenient for operation.

[0036] Two long electric actuators 5 are fixed to the ground. The fixed parts of the two long electric actuators 5 and the support feet welded to the bottom of the material plate 1 are on the same horizontal plane, so that the device remains horizontal. The moving parts of the two long electric actuators 5 are welded to the bottom of the fixed box 6. The connection between the fixed box 6 and the connecting frame 7 is provided with sufficient rotation space. The space margin provided between the fixed box 6 and the connecting frame 7 can meet the rotation of the connecting frame 7 relative to the fixed box 6. With the lifting and lowering of the moving parts of the long electric actuators 5, the connecting frame 7 is driven higher than the feeding device. With the tilting of the connecting frame 7, the feeding of aluminum rod 2 is completed.

[0037] The short electric actuator 3, drive motor 4, long electric actuator 5, and rotary motor 15 are all conventional instruments. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0038] Working principle

[0039] When using this automatic aluminum rod feeding device, the aluminum rod 2 to be fed is first placed on the surface of the material plate 1. The output shaft of the rotary motor 15 is controlled to rotate, which drives the rotating shaft 17 connected by the coupling to rotate. The protrusion 18 welded to the surface of the rotating shaft 17 is connected to the arc groove at the bottom of the long plate 16, which makes the connecting plate 14 move. In this way, the separation plate 11 fixed to the connecting plate 14 can be controlled to slide inside the rectangular groove, thus completing the separation and isolation of the aluminum rod 2 inside the material plate 1.

[0040] At this time, the moving part of the long electric push rod 5 is raised so that the connecting frame 7 is flush with the material plate 1. The moving part of the short electric push rod 3 is raised so that the connecting baffle 10 is separated from the limiting groove 12. The aluminum rod 2 between the baffle 10 and the separating plate 11 enters the interior of the connecting frame 7 and is fixed inside the groove 13.

[0041] Finally, control the moving part of the long electric push rod 5 to rise, so that the connecting frame 7 is slightly higher than the device that needs to be fed. Then, control the output shaft of the drive motor 4 to rotate, driving the connecting frame 7 and the fixed box 6 to rotate, so that the connecting frame 7 and the fixed box 6 tilt, and pour out the aluminum rod 2 inside the groove 13 for recycling.

[0042] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "one" and "two" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
