[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a feeding mechanism for an O-ring visual sorting machine includes a feeding frame 1. A first conveyor belt 2 is connected to one side of the feeding frame 1, and an inclined second conveyor belt 3 is connected to the feeding frame 1. The feeding end of the second conveyor belt 3 is connected to the discharging end of the first conveyor belt 2. A third conveyor belt 4 is connected to the other side of the feeding frame 1, and the feeding end of the third conveyor belt 4 is connected to the discharging end of the second conveyor belt 3. The third conveyor belt 4 and the first conveyor belt 2 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other. An overlapping area is provided between the third conveyor belt 4 and the first conveyor belt 2. A guide plate 7 is connected between the third conveyor belt 4 and the first conveyor belt 2 located in the overlapping area. From left to right, an anti-stacking component 8, a guide component 9, and a feeding motor component 10 are connected sequentially on the side of the third conveyor belt 4. The anti-stacking component 8 and the guide component 9 are spaced apart and both are located in the overlapping area. The feeding motor component 10 is located at the tail end of the third conveyor belt.

[0029] In this utility model, the second conveyor belt 3 is provided with a transmission belt, and the transmission belt is connected with equidistant feeding plates. At the same time, the transmission belts on the first and third conveyor belts are both anti-static belts, and they are all driven by motors. This is a technology known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in any further detail.

[0030] Baffles are installed on the outside of the first and third conveyor belts to prevent products from falling during movement, while baffles are installed on both sides of the second conveyor belt to ensure that products do not fall.

[0031] In this invention, the feed end of the second conveyor belt 3 is connected to a return hopper 5 for receiving products from the first conveyor belt; the discharge end of the second conveyor belt 3 is connected to a discharge hopper 6 for transferring products to the third conveyor belt. The return hopper and discharge hopper enable efficient and precise recycling and feeding of products (O-rings).

[0032] The guide plate 7 described in this utility model has an inclined structure. The high end of the guide plate 7 is located at the third conveyor belt, and its bottom end is located at the first conveyor belt. The guide plate can return excess products to the first conveyor belt.

[0033] In this invention, a guide plate 11 is connected to the third conveyor belt 4. The guide plate 11 is located in the overlapping area and is also located at the front end of the anti-stacking component 8. The guide plate 11 is inclinedly connected to the side of the third conveyor belt 4. Products sent out from the second conveyor belt can be quickly straightened by the guide plate, which facilitates subsequent operations (i.e., the operation of the anti-stacking component).

[0034] The anti-stacking component 8 of this utility model includes an anti-stacking bracket 81, an anti-stacking motor 82 connected to the anti-stacking bracket 81, a scraper connecting sleeve connected to the rotating shaft of the anti-stacking motor 82, and scrapers 83 at equal intervals connected to the scraper connecting sleeve, which can prevent products from stacking.

[0035] The guiding component 9 of this utility model includes a guiding bracket 91, on which a movable guide plate 92 is connected. The guide plate 92 is inclinedly connected to the guiding bracket 91, and the end of the guide plate 92 is provided with a guiding arc edge. The guide plate 92 has a movable groove 93, and a locking bolt is connected to the guiding bracket 91. The movable groove 93 is movable on the locking bolt. A scale is engraved on the side of the guide plate 92. By moving the distance between the guide plate and the side of the third conveyor belt, only one product can pass through at a time, and excess products are returned to the first conveyor belt by the guide plate.

[0036] The feeding motor assembly 10 of this utility model includes a feeding bracket 101, on which a feeding mounting plate above a third conveyor belt is connected. A feeding motor 102 is connected to the feeding mounting plate, and the shaft of the feeding motor 102 is connected to a feeding friction wheel 103 for feeding products onto a turntable. The feeding friction wheel feeds products onto the turntable one at a time.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] In actual operation, the product is placed in the return hopper and then conveyed to the third conveyor belt via the second conveyor belt. After being conveyed to the third conveyor belt, the product passes through the guide plate (to correct the position of the product), then through the anti-stacking motor assembly (to prevent product stacking), and then through the guide assembly to convey the single product to the feeding motor assembly, which then conveys the single product to the turntable.

[0039] If adjacent products are too close or touching after passing through the anti-stacking motor assembly, the products behind will be sent back to the first conveyor belt after passing through the guide assembly, waiting for the next conveyor.

[0040] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0041] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
