Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lower ball devices, and in particular to a high-speed lower ball mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, feeding devices for small spherical objects (such as pump balls, bearing balls, pills, etc.) generally suffer from slow feeding speed and low efficiency. Traditional solutions typically employ single-hole feeding devices, which rely on gravity to allow the spherical objects to fall one by one through a single outlet. This approach has several significant drawbacks:
[0003] 1. Slow feeding speed: Since spherical objects can only pass through a single hole one by one, the feeding speed is limited by the outlet size and gravity, resulting in low overall feeding efficiency. This method is difficult to meet the needs, especially in industrial production scenarios that require large-volume and rapid feeding.
[0004] 2. Prone to clogging: The single-hole structure itself is prone to clogging. Especially when spherical objects have size differences, high surface roughness, or contain a small amount of dust or other impurities, they are more likely to get stuck or accumulate at the outlet, causing material feeding interruption, requiring manual intervention, further reducing production efficiency and increasing labor costs.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings, and this utility model is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a high-speed lower spherical mechanism that is simple in structure, highly efficient, reliable and stable.
[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-speed ball-feeding mechanism, including a rotatable turntable and a feeding box disposed on one side of the turntable. The turntable has a plurality of distributing holes evenly distributed around its circumference, and each distributing hole is sized to accommodate only a single ball. The feeding box is provided with a feeding groove and a feeding trough disposed on one side of the bottom surface of the feeding groove. The bottom surface of the feeding groove is inclined towards the feeding trough. The width dimension of the feeding trough is set to accommodate only a single ball, thereby ensuring that the balls are arranged in a single row within the feeding trough. The length dimension of the feeding trough is set to accommodate multiple balls. The distributing holes alternately align with the bottom of the feeding trough as the turntable rotates.
[0009] In order to further solve the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, in a high-speed lower spherical mechanism provided by this utility model, at least two material distribution holes are simultaneously aligned with the bottom of the material dropping groove.
[0010] To further address the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, in a high-speed lower spherical mechanism provided by this utility model, the gap between the top surface of the material distribution hole and the bottom surface of the material dropping groove is smaller than the diameter of the sphere.
[0011] In order to further solve the technical problems to be solved by this utility model, the present utility model provides a high-speed lower spherical mechanism in which the material dropping groove is an arc-shaped groove around the rotation center of the turntable.
[0012] In order to further solve the technical problems to be solved by this utility model, in the high-speed lower ball mechanism provided by this utility model, the upper end of the material dropping groove is provided with a guide opening that gradually decreases from top to bottom.
[0013] In order to further solve the technical problem to be solved by this utility model, in the high-speed lower ball mechanism provided by this utility model, the material distribution hole is a through hole, and a support plate is also provided below the turntable to block the material distribution hole.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] This invention features a unique material discharge trough structure. Its width is limited to accommodate only a single sphere, forming a single-row arrangement to avoid blockages; while its length can accommodate multiple spheres, forming a multi-row arrangement. This allows multiple spheres to simultaneously align with multiple distributing holes and fall simultaneously, significantly improving discharge speed and efficiency. The design, combined with multiple distributing holes aligning with the discharge trough simultaneously, further enhances discharge efficiency. The number and arrangement of the distributing holes can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to achieve optimal discharge results. Attached Figure Description
[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0017] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the present invention;
[0018] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present invention;
[0019] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the material receiving box. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the high-speed lower ball mechanism provided by this utility model mainly includes a rotatable turntable 1 and a material drop box 2 located on one side of the turntable and fixed on the frame.
[0022] Multiple material distribution holes 11 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the turntable 1. Each material distribution hole 11 is designed to accommodate only one ball, ensuring that only one ball passes through at a time.
[0023] The feeding box 2 is provided with a feeding trough 21 and a discharge trough 22 located on one side of the bottom surface of the feeding trough 21. The upper end of the feeding trough 21 is open, and its bottom surface is inclined towards the discharge trough 22 to guide the ball smoothly into the discharge trough 22. When the turntable 1 rotates, the distributing holes 11 are aligned with the bottom of the discharge trough 22 in sequence to achieve high-speed drop of the ball.
[0024] The width of the discharge chute 22 is designed to accommodate only a single ball, ensuring that the balls are arranged in a single row within the chute and preventing blockage. More importantly, the length of the discharge chute 22 is designed to accommodate multiple balls, forming a team formation. When the turntable 1 rotates, these balls can roll along the discharge chute 22 and simultaneously fall into different distribution holes 11 within the area of the discharge chute 22, which can significantly increase the discharge speed and prevent blockage.
[0025] To further improve the feeding speed, in this embodiment, at least two feeding holes 11 can be simultaneously aligned with the direct underside of the feeding chute 22 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown). In this way, multiple balls will fall into different dispensing holes 11 simultaneously during each rotation cycle, significantly improving the material feeding efficiency. The number and arrangement of the dispensing holes 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve the optimal material feeding speed.
[0026] To prevent the ball from getting stuck at the dispensing hole 11 or jumping out of the discharge chute 22 due to inertia, in this embodiment, the gap between the top surface of the dispensing hole 11 and the bottom surface of the discharge chute 22 is smaller than the diameter of the ball. This small gap can effectively guide the ball into the discharge chute 22, avoiding direct contact and wear between the top surface of the dispensing hole 11 and the bottom surface of the discharge chute 22, and at the same time preventing the ball from accidentally jumping on the high-speed rotating turntable 1.
[0027] To better accommodate the rotation of turntable 1 and optimize the ball's discharge trajectory, in this embodiment, the discharge groove 22 is designed as an arc-shaped groove around the rotation center of turntable 1 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 3 (As shown). This arc-shaped design allows for smoother coordination between the material discharge chute 22 and the multiple material distribution holes 11, reducing collisions and friction of the spheres during their descent, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of material discharge.
[0028] To further guide the spheres accurately into the discharge chute 22 and prevent sphere splashing, in this embodiment, a guide opening 23 that gradually narrows from top to bottom is provided at the upper end of the discharge chute 22. The design of the guide opening 23 can effectively guide the spheres into the discharge chute 22, maintaining the stability and accuracy of the discharge process even under high-speed discharge.
[0029] In this embodiment, the dispensing hole 11 is designed as a through hole penetrating the turntable 1. To prevent the ball from leaking out of the dispensing hole 11 during non-dispensing periods, a support plate (not shown in the figure) is provided below the turntable 1. The support plate is located directly below the dispensing hole 11, serving to support the turntable and block the ball, ensuring that the ball only falls at a predetermined time and position.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely some examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and combinations can be made to the above embodiments within the spirit and scope of this utility model without departing from its essence.
