Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of directional conveying technology for cylindrical objects, and in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism for a directional conveying machine. Background Technology
[0002] A directional conveyor is a material conveying device that uses a specific structural design (such as the setting of components like conveyor guides and the conveyor body) to transport materials in a predetermined direction. Throughout the conveying process, it can effectively control the flow of materials, ensuring that materials are accurately transported from the starting point to the target location.
[0003] The primary function of directional conveyors is to achieve efficient and orderly material transport. In industrial production and other scenarios, they can accurately transport different types of materials to designated locations according to the requirements of the production process, preventing disorderly diffusion or deviation from the predetermined path during transportation. This helps improve the automation level of the production process, reduce manual intervention, and lower labor costs. Among them, cylindrical directional conveyors are devices used to transport cylindrical objects, enabling them to move in a specific direction. They are commonly used in industrial production, logistics, and other fields to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
[0004] In existing technologies, some cylindrical material directional conveyors are prone to material accumulation and blockage between the discharge plate and the conveying guide plate due to the characteristics of the material or fluctuations in the transmission speed and flow rate. Once this blockage occurs, it will cause the entire transmission process to be interrupted, seriously affecting production efficiency. Therefore, an automatic discharge mechanism for directional conveyors is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for a directional conveyor, which aims to improve the problem of material blockage affecting production efficiency in some existing cylindrical directional conveyors.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic feeding mechanism for a directional conveyor includes a conveyor body, an anti-blocking mechanism fixedly connected inside the conveyor body, and a buffer mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor body.
[0008] The anti-blocking mechanism includes a cylinder, which is externally and fixedly connected to the inside of the conveyor body. A push rod is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder. A long strip plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the push rod. Multiple sliding plates are fixedly connected to the right side of the long strip plate. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the right end of two sliding plates. A collar is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod. A support rod is fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the conveyor body. Multiple rotating plates are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate. An ejector plate is fixedly connected to the top left side of the arc-shaped plate.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The buffer mechanism includes multiple feeding plates. Multiple dampers are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor body. The bottom of the feeding plate is fixedly connected to the top of two of the dampers. Bearing blocks are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the feeding plate. Multiple rotating seats are rotatably connected to the top of the conveyor body. Sliding columns are rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the bearing blocks and the rotating seats. Buffer springs are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two sliding columns.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] Multiple support plates are fixedly connected to the top of the main body of the transmitter, and multiple conveying guide plates are fixedly connected to the top of the multiple support plates.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The outer wall of the top rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transmission machine body, and a guide cavity is provided inside the transmission machine body. The outer wall of the long strip plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide cavity.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The outer walls of the plurality of sliding plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body, and the outer wall of the fixed rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate;
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The rotating plate has a groove inside, and the outer wall of the collar is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The outer walls of the two sliding columns are slidably connected with sleeves, and a buffer spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding columns;
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] The adjacent sides of the two sliding columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjacent side of the two sliding columns, and the distant sides of the two sliding columns are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the sleeve.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, when a blockage occurs between the discharge plate and the conveying guide plate, the cylinder, as a power source, generates power to drive the push rod to move to the right, which in turn drives the long strip plate to move under the guidance of the guide cavity. The long strip plate drives the sliding plate and the fixed rod to move. The fixed rod, through cooperation with components such as the collar, rotating plate, support rod, and arc plate, ultimately drives the ejector plate to push the blocked material, so that the blockage can be cleared in a timely and effective manner, avoiding material accumulation and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, when the material falls on the feeding plate and generates an impact force, the feeding plate moves downward. At this time, the first buffer spring is stretched first to absorb the impact force initially. The sliding column slides in the sleeve and squeezes the second buffer spring to shorten it, thus buffering the impact force a second time. Combined with the damping effect of the damper, the buffering effect on the impact force of the material is greatly improved, thereby protecting the entire device from damage caused by excessive impact force.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeding mechanism for a directional conveyor, comprising a conveyor body 1, a plurality of support plates 2 fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor body 1, a plurality of conveying guide plates 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support plates 2, an anti-blocking mechanism fixedly connected inside the conveyor body 1, and a buffer mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor body 1. The conveyor body 1 provides installation positions for other components and provides support for components such as the support plates 2 and the conveying guide plates 3, ensuring that each component can work collaboratively on its foundation. The support plates 2 provide support and stable support for the conveying guide plates 3, which are channels for material transmission, guiding the material to be transmitted in a predetermined direction, allowing the material to slide smoothly on them.
[0034] The anti-blocking mechanism includes a cylinder 4, which is externally and fixedly connected to the inside of the conveyor body 1. A push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder 4. The outer wall of the push rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body 1. The cylinder 4 is the power source for the anti-blocking mechanism, generating power to drive the push rod 5 to move. A long strip plate 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the push rod 5. A guide cavity 7 is provided inside the conveyor body 1. The outer wall of the long strip plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide cavity 7. During the anti-blocking process, the push rod 5 transmits power, receiving the power from the cylinder 4 and transmitting it to the long strip plate 6 to the right. The guide cavity 7 provides guidance for the movement of the long strip plate 6, ensuring that the long strip plate 6 can only move in a specific direction. Multiple sliding plates 8 are fixedly connected to the right side of the long strip plate 6. The outer walls of the multiple sliding plates 8 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor body 1. A fixed rod 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sliding plate 8. A collar 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 9. A support rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the conveyor body 1. Multiple rotating plates 12 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 11. The support rod 11 provides a support point for the rotation of the rotating plate 12. The outer wall of the fixed rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate 12. A groove 13 is opened inside the rotating plate 12. The outer wall of the collar 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 13. The groove 13 provides a track for the sliding of the collar 10. An arc plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 12. An ejector plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the arc plate 14. When the rotating plate 12 rotates, the arc plate 14 moves with the rotation of the rotating plate 12, driving the ejector plate 15 to push the blocked material. The ejector plate 15 is a component that directly acts on the blocked material. The fixed rod 9 plays two important roles in the anti-blocking operation. On the one hand, it is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 8, receives the power from the sliding plate 8 and transmits it to the rotating plate 12. On the other hand, its outer wall is rotatably connected to the collar 10 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate 12. During the movement, the collar 10 slides and drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate around the support rod 11, thereby realizing the push of the ejector plate 15 against the blockage material.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The buffer mechanism includes multiple discharge plates 16, which are responsible for receiving materials from the storage bin. Multiple dampers 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor body 1, providing damping and improving the buffering effect. The bottom of the discharge plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of two dampers 17. Bearing blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the discharge plate 16. Multiple rotating seats 19 are rotatably connected to the top of the conveyor body 1. Sliding columns 20 are rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the bearing blocks 18 and rotating seats 19. The rotating seats 19 provide rotational support for the sliding columns 20. Buffer springs 22 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two sliding columns 20. Sleeves 23 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding columns 20. When the discharge plate 16 moves downwards due to the impact of the material, the bearing blocks 18 will drive the sliding columns 20 to the sleeves. Sliding within sleeve 23, buffer spring 21 is stretched, converting part of the impact force of the material into the elastic potential energy of the spring, thus playing a preliminary buffering role. Buffer spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of sliding column 20. The adjacent sides of the two sliding columns 20 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the adjacent sides of the two sliding columns 20, and the distant sides of the two sliding columns 20 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower inner walls of sleeve 23. During the extension of buffer spring 21, sliding column 20 compresses buffer spring 22, causing it to shorten, further converting the impact force of the material into the elastic potential energy of the spring. Working in conjunction with buffer spring 21, it improves the buffering effect. Sleeve 23 ensures that sliding column 20 can slide stably within it, thereby ensuring that buffer spring 21 and buffer spring 22 can work normally and achieve buffering of the impact force of the material.
[0036] Working principle: The discharge plate 16 is responsible for receiving materials from the storage box. When a blockage occurs between the discharge plate 16 and the conveying guide plate 3, the cylinder 4 is activated to generate power to drive the push rod 5 to move to the right. The movement of the push rod 5 drives the long plate 6 to move to the right under the guidance of the guide cavity 7. The movement of the long plate 6 drives the sliding plate 8 and the fixed rod 9 to move to the right. The movement of the fixed rod 9, together with the collar 10 sliding in the slide groove 13, drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate around the support rod 11. The rotation of the rotating plate 12, together with the connection of the arc plate 14, drives the ejector plate 15 to push the blocked material, thereby clearing the blockage, preventing material accumulation, and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0037] When the discharge plate 16 receives material from the storage bin, the impact force of the material falling on the discharge plate 16 causes the discharge plate 16 to move downward, which in turn drives the bearing block 18 to move downward, causing the sliding column 20 to slide within the sleeve 23. At this time, the buffer spring 21 is stretched to initially absorb the impact force. During the extension of the buffer spring 21, the sliding column 20 compresses the buffer spring 22 to shorten it, thereby providing secondary buffering of the impact force. Combined with the action of the damper 17, the buffering effect on the material is improved.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
