Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material buffering technology, specifically relating to a buffering device in the process of conveying small springs. Background Technology
[0002] A small spring is a mechanical part that works by utilizing elasticity and has many applications in daily life and production. In the process of processing objects using small springs, the first step is to sort the springs. Qualified springs are then sent to the next processing step. In actual processing, a mismatch often occurs between the sorting speed and the processing speed of the springs, affecting the continuity of processing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can buffer the sorted springs to improve processing continuity. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of continuity in the processing of small springs and to provide a small spring buffering device that can buffer the sorted small springs and improve the continuity of processing.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a small spring buffer device, including a rotating wheel and a motor that drives the rotating wheel to rotate. The rotating wheel is provided with several chambers. The feed channel and discharge channel of the small spring are respectively staggered on both sides of the rotating wheel and correspond to one chamber. The feed channel is provided with a vision blowing component I for blowing the small springs on it into the chamber. The opposite side of the discharge channel is provided with a vision blowing component II for blowing the small springs in the chamber into it. The vision blowing component I and the vision blowing component II are mainly composed of a vision sensor and an air nozzle with a control valve. The air nozzle is connected to an air source. The vision sensor detects the chamber. The motor, vision blowing component I and vision blowing component II are connected to a controller.
[0005] Optionally, the impeller is provided with 6 chambers.
[0006] Optionally, the motor is a stepper motor.
[0007] The usage and principle of this utility model: This device is set between the sorting process and the processing process of small springs, so that the discharge port of the sorting process and the inlet of the processing process are connected to the chamber of the rotating wheel. That is, the inlet and outlet channels of the small springs are respectively staggered on both sides of the rotating wheel and correspond to one chamber. The presence or absence of small springs in the chamber is detected by a vision sensor. Under the control of the controller, the motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate, so that the chamber without small springs is aligned with the inlet channel. The air nozzle of vision blowing component I blows the small springs into the chamber. When the next process needs material, the rotating wheel rotates, so that the chamber with small springs is aligned with the outlet channel. The air nozzle of vision blowing component II blows the small springs in the chamber into the outlet channel for use in the next process. This process is repeated, which effectively improves the continuity of the entire process.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the present invention can perform lightweight buffering treatment on the sorted small springs, thereby improving the continuity of processing. Attached Figure Description
