Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of metal workpiece feeding equipment, and particularly relates to a feeding device for strip metal workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] Bar metal workpieces (hereinafter referred to as "workpieces") are widely used in daily life. Depending on the usage requirements, the required length of the workpieces is also different. Therefore, during the workpiece processing, the workpieces need to be cut and then collected and stored. Usually, there is a certain distance between the cutting station and the collection area. In daily life, the cut workpieces need to be transported to the collection area. The most primitive way is to manually transport them by workers, but this method of transportation is very laborious.
[0003] Currently, a method has emerged that involves setting up a conveyor belt between the cutting station and the collection area. After the workpiece is cut, it is transported to the collection area via the conveyor belt. However, in actual operation, it has been found that because the workpiece has a certain length, it is easy for it to deviate when being transported on the conveyor belt. It often comes off the conveyor belt or collides with the edge of the conveyor belt, causing damage to the workpiece and affecting its use. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing workpiece feeding method. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a feeding device for strip-shaped metal workpieces. This feeding device can stably transport the workpieces and prevent them from breaking during transport.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a feeding device for a strip-shaped metal workpiece, comprising:
[0006] Conveyor belts can move along their circumference.
[0007] Multiple magnets are spaced apart on the surface of the conveyor belt along its circumference.
[0008] The guide frame is positioned above the conveyor belt. The guide frame is not attracted by magnets, and the workpiece can slide horizontally on the guide frame. The workpiece can be attracted by magnets when it is on the guide frame.
[0009] The blocking component is located at one end of the guide frame, between the magnet and the workpiece. The blocking component can block the magnetic attraction force of the magnet on the workpiece.
[0010] In this technical solution, the feeding device is placed between the cutting station and the collection area, with the end of the guide frame away from the blocking component facing the cutting station. The conveyor belt is started to drive the magnet. After the workpiece is cut, it is pushed onto the end of the guide frame away from the blocking component. At this time, the workpiece is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet and sticks to the guide frame. As the magnet moves with the conveyor belt, the workpiece moves along the guide frame towards the blocking component. When the workpiece moves above the blocking component, the blocking component blocks the magnetic force of the magnet on the workpiece. At this time, the workpiece reaches the end of the guide frame, that is, the collection area, and the worker can remove the workpiece from the guide frame.
[0011] In the above technical solution, further, a feeding ramp is provided at one end of the guide frame near the blocking member, and the top of the feeding ramp is lower than the upper surface of the guide frame.
[0012] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the width of the feeding ramp is greater than the width of the guide frame.
[0013] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the bottom slope of the feeding slope is less than the top slope.
[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the blocking component and the guide frame are detachably connected.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the magnet is detachably connected to the conveyor belt.
[0016] In the above technical solution, a shielding sleeve is further provided on the outside of the magnet, and the top of the shielding sleeve has an opening.
[0017] Furthermore, the above technical solution also includes a frame, with the conveyor belt and guide frame all mounted on the frame.
[0018] In the above technical solution, furthermore, a through groove is provided on the guide frame, the through groove runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the guide frame, and the width of the through groove is smaller than the width of the workpiece.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. A feeding device consisting of a conveyor belt, multiple magnets, a guide frame, and a blocking component is placed between the cutting station and the collection area. After the workpiece is cut, it is pushed onto the guide frame. The magnetic attraction of the magnets exerts a downward force on the workpiece, causing it to adhere to the upper surface of the guide frame. Driven by the conveyor belt, the magnets can slide along the guide frame, allowing the workpiece to be transported from the cutting station to the collection area. This method is convenient and efficient. At the end of the guide frame near the collection area, the blocking component can block the magnetic attraction of the magnets on the workpiece, allowing workers to easily remove the workpiece and place it in the collection area, reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
[0021] 2. By setting a feeding ramp at one end of the guide frame near the blocking component, the workpiece can continue to move forward a certain distance under the action of inertia after it follows the movement of the magnet past the blocking component. During this process, the workpiece automatically falls into the collection area through the feeding ramp. Workers only need to adjust the position of the workpiece occasionally in the collection area, which further reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0022] 3. By setting a shielding sleeve on the outside of the magnet, the interaction force between adjacent magnets can be avoided. At this time, the spacing between adjacent magnets can be set smaller, which can improve the stable conveying effect of the workpiece. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding device for a strip metal workpiece 100, including: a conveyor belt 1, multiple magnets 2, a guide frame 3, a blocking component 4, and a frame 7;
[0036] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 1 can be a commercially available conveyor belt 1 product. The conveyor belt 1 includes two rollers, a belt and a motor. The belt is sleeved on the outside of the two rollers. The motor drives the rollers to rotate, thereby driving the belt to move along the circumferential direction.
[0037] Multiple magnets 2 are spaced apart on the surface of the belt along the circumference of the belt; in this embodiment, the magnets 2 can be embedded in the belt with only a part exposed, or they can be fully exposed on the surface of the belt; the magnets 2 can be pasted on the surface of the belt, or they can be detachably installed on the surface of the belt through other commonly used disassembly and assembly structures in the art; the magnets 2 can be permanent magnets 2 or electromagnets 2.
[0038] The guide frame 3 is set above the conveyor belt 1. The guide frame 3 can be made of non-magnetic material so that the guide frame 3 will not be attracted by the magnet 2. The upper surface of the guide frame 3 is smooth, and the workpiece 100 can slide horizontally on the guide frame 3. When the workpiece 100 is on the guide frame 3, it can be attracted by the magnet 2.
[0039] The frame 7 serves as the supporting part of the feeding device, and both the conveyor belt 1 and the guide frame 3 are mounted on the frame 7.
[0040] The blocking element 4 is disposed at one end of the guide frame 3, and is located between the magnet 2 and the workpiece 100. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 or Figure 5 The blocking component 4 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the guide frame 3. The blocking component 4 can block the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 2 on the workpiece 100. In this embodiment, the blocking of the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 2 by the blocking component 4 can be either shielding the magnetic force of the magnet 2 or weakening the magnetic force of the magnet 2. For example, if the blocking component 4 is designed to be made of a high magnetic permeability material such as silicon steel sheet or nickel alloy, then when the blocking component 4 is located between the workpiece 100 and the magnet 2, the blocking component 4 can shield the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 2 on the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 can be easily separated from the guide frame 3. Alternatively, the blocking component 4 can be designed to be made of a non-magnetic material such as plastic. Then, when the blocking component 4 is located between the workpiece 100 and the magnet 2, the blocking component 4 can weaken the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 2 on the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 can be easily separated from the guide frame 3.
[0041] In this embodiment, the distance between the guide frame 3 and the magnet 2 can be controlled between 40mm and 60mm, and of course it can also be adjusted according to the actual magnetic strength of the magnet 2;
[0042] In this embodiment, the feeding device is placed between the cutting station and the collection area, with the end of the guide frame 3 away from the blocking member 4 facing the cutting station. The conveyor belt 1 is started to drive the magnet 2. After the workpiece 100 is cut, the workpiece 100 is pushed onto the end of the guide frame 3 away from the blocking member 4. At this time, the workpiece 100 will be attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet 2 and will stick to the guide frame 3. As the magnet 2 moves with the conveyor belt 1, the workpiece 100 will move towards the blocking member 4 on the guide frame 3. When the workpiece 100 moves above the blocking member 4, the blocking member 4 blocks the magnetic force of the magnet 2 on the workpiece 100. At this time, the workpiece 100 reaches the end of the guide frame 3, that is, the collection area. The worker can then remove the workpiece 100 from the guide frame 3.
[0043] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows the workpiece 100 being pushed onto the guide frame 3, the workpiece 100 sliding on the guide frame 3, and the workpiece 100 about to separate from the guide frame 3.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] This embodiment improves upon the structure of the feeding device based on Embodiment 1;
[0046] Please see Figure 1The guide frame 3 is provided with a feeding ramp 5 at one end near the blocking member 4, and the top of the feeding ramp 5 is lower than the upper surface of the guide frame 3.
[0047] In this embodiment, after the workpiece 100 moves past the blocking member 4 following the movement of the magnet 2, the workpiece 100 can continue to move forward a distance under the action of inertia. During this process, the workpiece 100 automatically falls into the collection area through the feeding ramp 5. The worker only needs to adjust the position of the workpiece 100 occasionally in the collection area. There is no need to remove the workpiece 100 from the guide frame 3, which saves the worker more effort.
[0048] In this preferred embodiment, the width of the unloading ramp 5 is greater than the width of the guide frame 3, so that the workpiece 100 can fall smoothly onto the unloading ramp 5 after leaving the guide frame 3, and the workpiece 100 is not easy to fall off the unloading ramp 5 during the sliding process on the unloading ramp 5.
[0049] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to [the specific embodiment described]. Figure 2 The bottom slope of the feeding ramp 5 is less than the top slope, so that when the workpiece 100 comes to the lower half of the feeding ramp 5, there is a buffer process, reducing the collision between the workpiece 100 on the feeding ramp 5 and the workpiece 100 in the collection area.
[0050] Example 3
[0051] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further improves the connection between the blocking component 4 and the guide frame 3;
[0052] In this embodiment, the blocking member 4 is detachably connected to the guide frame 3, and the guide frame 3 has multiple points connected to the blocking member 4. In this way, when conveying workpieces 100 of different lengths, the position of the blocking member 4 on the guide frame 3 can be adjusted so that the blocking member 4 can successfully block the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 2 on the workpiece 100.
[0053] The connection between the blocking component 4 and the guide frame 3 can be a common detachable connection method in the prior art, such as threaded fastener connection, snap-fit connection, etc.
[0054] Example 4
[0055] This embodiment improves upon the structure of the feeding device based on Embodiment 1;
[0056] Please see Figure 6 The magnet 2 is provided with a shielding sleeve 6 on the outside. The top of the shielding sleeve 6 has an opening, and the top of the magnet 2 can extend out from the shielding sleeve 6. The magnet 2 can also be completely located in the shielding sleeve 6 and attract the workpiece 100 only through the top.
[0057] The shielding sleeve 6 can either shield the magnetic force of the magnet 2 or weaken the magnetic force of the magnet 2. This can prevent the interaction force between adjacent magnets 2. In this case, the spacing between adjacent magnets 2 can be set smaller, which can improve the stable conveying effect of the workpiece 100.
[0058] Example 5
[0059] Based on Example 1, this embodiment further improves the structure of the guide frame 3;
[0060] Please see Figure 1 The guide frame 3 is provided with a through groove 301, which penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the guide frame 3. The through groove 301 extends from one end of the guide frame 3 to the other end. The width of the through groove 301 is smaller than the width of the workpiece 100, so that the workpiece 100 is not easy to fall out of the through groove 301.
[0061] The through slot 301 can reduce the weight of the guide frame 3, thereby reducing the load on the frame 7. At the same time, the through slot 301 on the guide frame 3 can reduce the obstruction between the workpiece 100 and the magnet 2, increase the magnetic attraction of the magnet 2 to the workpiece 100, and improve the stability of the workpiece 100 during the conveying process.
[0062] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
