Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bent brush production technology, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding device for bent brushes. Background Technology

[0002] An elbow brush is a tool specifically designed for cleaning and handling pipes, elbows, and other hard-to-reach areas, offering a variety of uses. First, it effectively removes dirt, grease, and deposits from pipes and elbows, ensuring unobstructed flow, and is particularly suitable for cleaning chemical residues and food scraps. Second, elbow brushes can be used for rust removal and polishing of metal surfaces, removing rust and oxide layers and improving finish. In the industrial sector, it is widely used in chemical, food processing, and automotive repair industries for equipment maintenance and cleaning, extending equipment lifespan. In homes, elbow brushes can clean sewers, faucets, and shower heads in hard-to-reach areas, resolving blockages. Furthermore, it can be used for detailed work in artistic creations and DIY projects. With its high efficiency, durability, and versatility, the elbow brush has become an indispensable tool in cleaning and maintenance work.

[0003] However, the current production of elbow brushes is not very efficient in terms of automation, and conveyor belts are generally used to transport various parts. However, since elbow brushes have a certain bending angle, it is quite complicated to install rivet structures during the conveying process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic feeding device for elbow brushes includes a frame body, a transport part and a guide part for clamping and positioning, all mounted on the frame body. It also includes a rivet part mounted on the frame body for rivet fixing to the elbow brush.

[0006] The transport section includes a chain rope assembly and at least four sets of drive wheels. The chain rope assembly forms a closed loop around the four sets of drive wheels. The chain rope assembly is provided with a number of transport blocks. The number of transport blocks drive the bent brush to move forward along the movement direction of the chain rope assembly.

[0007] The guide section includes at least one set of guide brackets, a first guide component, and a second guide component. The first guide component is connected to the guide brackets via a connecting plate, and the second guide component is connected to the frame body. The first guide component and the second guide component cooperate to guide the elbow brush.

[0008] Furthermore, the first guide assembly includes at least two sets of screws and at least one set of guide posts. The connecting plate is slidably connected to the guide bracket via the screws and guide posts. An elastic element is sleeved on the screw. One end of the elastic element abuts against the guide bracket, and the other end abuts against the connecting plate. A fixing nut is provided on the side of the connecting plate away from the elastic element. Adjusting the fixing nut can adjust the upward / downward movement of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the first guide component is provided with a first inclined surface that matches the bending angle of the elbow brush, and the first inclined surface is provided with a first groove for accommodating the elbow brush rib. The second guide component is provided with a second inclined surface that matches the bending angle of the elbow brush, and the second inclined surface is provided with a second groove for accommodating the elbow brush rib. The elbow brush rib is inserted into the first groove and the second groove for positioning.

[0010] Furthermore, the transport unit may also be a Y-axis plate and a first drive assembly for driving the Y-axis plate to move along the Y-axis. The Y-axis plate is also provided with an X-axis plate and a second drive element for driving the X-axis plate to move along the X-axis. A plurality of transport assemblies are mounted on the X-axis plate, and the transport assemblies are used to transport the elbow brush.

[0011] The guide portion can also be a crimping assembly, which includes a third drive assembly and a crimping block installed at the output end of the third drive assembly. The crimping block is used to press down the elbow brush.

[0012] Furthermore, the transport assembly includes a slider and at least two sets of clamps that slide relative to each other on the slider. Each clamp is provided with a clamping rod, and the clamping rod can be used to clamp the bent brush when the two sets of clamps are adjusted.

[0013] Furthermore, the transport assembly also includes a Z-axis plate fixedly connected to the X-axis plate, the Z-axis plate being slidably connected to the slider, and a fourth drive assembly being provided on the Z-axis plate for driving the slider to slide on the Z-axis plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the chain assembly is a chain, and the chain is evenly spaced with connecting pieces, and the transport block is fixedly connected to the connecting pieces.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring.

[0016] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the first and second inclined planes is 20~60°.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The first guide component of this utility model has a first inclined surface that matches the bending angle of the elbow brush. The first inclined surface has a first groove for accommodating the protruding rib of the elbow brush. The second guide component has a second inclined surface that matches the bending angle of the elbow brush. The second inclined surface has a second groove for accommodating the protruding rib of the elbow brush. The protruding rib of the elbow brush is locked into the first groove and the second groove for limiting. At this time, the elbow brush can be driven to slide along the groove by using a chain for cyclic conveying. Since the two sets of inclined surfaces match the elbow brush, rivet structures can be easily added during transportation, improving the automation rate of production and increasing production efficiency.
