Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeder waste removal mechanisms, and in particular to a feeder waste removal mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of automated material supply, feeder systems are widely used as key equipment on various production lines. Waste is inevitably generated during the feeder feeding process, and the timely and effective removal of this waste is crucial for ensuring the continuity and stability of the production line.
[0003] Currently, the most common waste removal method in the industry is the air-blowing removal mechanism, which directly blows air into the feeder inlet, using the force of the airflow to propel the waste into the waste box. However, due to the instability of the airflow, the waste may be blown to other locations inside the equipment, leading to decreased equipment performance or even malfunction. More seriously, the blown-out waste may also be mixed with other normal materials, adversely affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a feeder waste removal mechanism with a simple structure and convenient use. The pneumatic conveyor forms a stable suction force through the Venturi effect, ensuring that waste can be accurately sucked in and concentrated into the inner box along the guide channel, avoiding the problem of waste scattering due to unstable airflow, and improving the accuracy and stability of waste collection. At the same time, the feed port can also effectively prevent normal materials from being accidentally sucked into the collection system, avoid material confusion, and ensure processing quality.
[0005] To achieve the objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] A feeder waste removal mechanism includes:
[0007] The support assembly includes a support frame, a slide cylinder mounted on one side of the support frame, and a support plate for the slide cylinder; and
[0008] A collection assembly is mounted on a support assembly. The collection assembly includes an outer casing connected to a support plate, an inner casing detachably mounted inside the outer casing, through-beam sensors mounted on opposite sides of the outer casing, a guide channel extending outward from one side of the outer casing, a pneumatic conveyor inserted into the end of the guide channel away from the outer casing, and an isolation sleeve detachably connected to the inlet of the pneumatic conveyor. The inlet end of the guide channel corresponds to the outlet of the pneumatic conveyor, and the outlet end of the guide channel corresponds to the inlet of the inner casing. A material passage is provided in the middle of the isolation sleeve.
[0009] The aforementioned feeder waste removal mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to use. The pneumatic conveyor generates a stable suction force through the Venturi effect, ensuring that waste can be accurately sucked in and concentrated into the inner box along the guide channel. This avoids the problem of waste scattering due to unstable airflow and improves the accuracy and stability of waste collection. At the same time, the feed port can also effectively prevent normal materials from being accidentally sucked into the collection system, avoid material mixing, and ensure processing quality.
[0010] In one embodiment, the support plate has a notch; the pneumatic conveyor is correspondingly inserted through the notch.
[0011] In one embodiment, the middle of the pneumatic conveyor is connected to a compressed air machine via an air pipe adapter.
[0012] In one embodiment, the inner casing is provided with a plurality of air vents evenly spaced along the outer peripheral surface of the inner casing.
[0013] In one embodiment, observation holes are provided on opposite sides of the inner casing, and each observation hole corresponds to a through-beam sensor.
[0014] In one embodiment, the through-beam sensors are installed on opposite sides of the outer casing, and the opposite sides of the outer casing are provided with through holes, which correspond one-to-one with the observation holes.

When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The feeder waste removal mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a support component 10 and a collection component 20 installed on the support component 10; the support component 10 is used to connect to a robot or other similar structure to drive the entire feeder waste removal mechanism to move.
[0029] The support assembly 10 includes a support frame 11, a slide cylinder 12 mounted on one side of the support frame 11, and a support plate 13 connecting the slide cylinder 12 to the slide. The support plate 13 supports the collection assembly 20. The cylinder body of the slide cylinder 12 is connected to the support frame 11, allowing the support plate 13 and the support frame 11 to slide relative to each other, thereby adjusting the position of the collection assembly 20. Specifically, in practical use, the support frame 11 is used to connect a robot or other similar structure to drive the collection assembly 20 to move, facilitating the removal of waste from the feeder.
[0030] In this embodiment, the support plate 13 is provided with a notch 130.
[0031] The collection assembly 20 includes an outer casing 21 connected to the support plate 13, an inner casing 22 detachably installed inside the outer casing 21, through-beam sensors 23 installed on opposite sides of the outer casing 21, a guide channel 24 extending outward from one side of the outer casing 21, a pneumatic conveyor 25 inserted and connected to the end of the guide channel 24 away from the outer casing, and an isolation sleeve 26 detachably connected to the suction port of the pneumatic conveyor 25. The inlet end of the guide channel 24 corresponds to the outlet end of the pneumatic conveyor 25, and the outlet end of the guide channel 24 corresponds to the inlet end of the inner casing 22. Under the action of the pneumatic conveyor 25, waste material is sucked in from the suction port of the pneumatic conveyor 25 and guided into the interior of the inner casing 22 for collection via the guide channel 24.
[0032] Specifically, the pneumatic conveyor 25 is provided with a corresponding notch 130; the middle of the pneumatic conveyor 25 is connected to a compressed air unit via an air pipe adapter 250. Combined with... Figure 6 To understand this, according to the Venturi effect, the high-speed airflow enters the pneumatic conveyor 25 and flows upward through the nozzle of the pneumatic conveyor 25 into the guide channel 24 (as shown by the white arrow). Therefore, a suction force is formed at the inlet of the pneumatic conveyor 25 to suck up waste material (as shown by the black arrow). Since the pneumatic conveyor 25 (or vacuum conveyor) is a common pneumatic component in the industrial field, its internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0033] In this embodiment, the isolation sleeve 26 has a material passage 260 in the middle, which is used to screen waste materials to pass through, effectively preventing the collection component 20 from interfering with other normal materials. In actual use, isolation sleeves 26 with different sizes of discharge ports 260 can be replaced according to the actual size of the waste materials.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the inner box 22 has multiple air vents evenly spaced along its outer circumferential surface; observation holes 221 are provided on opposite sides of the inner box 22, and the observation holes 221 correspond one-to-one with the through-beam sensor 23, so as to observe the waste accumulation inside the inner box 22.
[0035] In this embodiment, the through-beam sensor 23 is installed on opposite sides of the outer casing 21. The opposite sides of the outer casing 21 are respectively provided with through holes 211, and the through holes 211 correspond one-to-one with the observation holes 221, so that the through-beam sensor 23 can observe the waste accumulation inside the inner casing 22.
[0036] In this embodiment, the outer casing 21 has an insertion port 212 on one side opposite to the material guide channel 24, and the top of the inner casing 22 is equipped with a spring pin 222. The pin of the spring pin 222 is inserted into the insertion port 212 to fix the position of the inner casing 22 and the outer casing 21. When it is necessary to remove the waste material inside the inner casing 22, simply press the spring pin 222 to disengage the pin of the spring pin 222 from the insertion port 212, and then pull the inner casing 22 upwards to remove it.
[0037] Furthermore, the collection assembly also includes a speed control valve 27 mounted on the support frame 11; the speed control valve 27 is used to connect to the pneumatic conveyor 25 to adjust the airflow speed of the pneumatic conveyor 25, thereby adjusting the suction strength of the pneumatic conveyor 25.
[0038] The aforementioned feeder waste removal mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to use. The pneumatic conveyor 25 forms a stable suction force through the Venturi effect, ensuring that waste can be accurately sucked in and concentrated into the inner box 22 along the guide channel 24. This avoids the problem of waste scattering due to unstable airflow and improves the accuracy and stability of waste collection. At the same time, the feed port 260 can also effectively prevent normal materials from being accidentally sucked into the collection system, avoid material confusion, and ensure processing quality.
[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
