Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibration device technology, and in particular to a flexible vibration device with a shock-absorbing structure and a flexible feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible vibratory feeders are a new type of feeding vibratory feeder, and due to their advantages such as high feeding efficiency and convenient material switching, they are now widely used in the field of automation equipment. To improve sorting efficiency, when two flexible vibratory feeders are placed on the same machine platform and a robotic arm is used for material handling, the robotic arm first picks up material from one of the feeders after coordinate positioning. At this time, the other flexible vibratory feeder vibrates, and a camera is used to position the material on the first feeder. However, the vibration of the first feeder affects the second feeder, causing the material on the second feeder to shift, thus affecting the robotic arm's picking process. This problem can be solved by increasing the thickness of the steel plate on the machine platform; however, this is costly and heavy, which does not conform to the trend of lightweight development.

One end of the buffer 33 is connected to the base plate 31, and the other end is connected to the fixed plate 32. The shock-absorbing components 30 and the vibrator 22 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby reducing the vibration of the machine platform 10 and further reducing the vibration of the adjacent material trays 24 on the machine platform 10.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the machine base 10 is made of steel and has a sturdy structure. Optionally, the machine base 10 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 101.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the supporting assembly 20 includes a base 21, a vibrator 22, a support plate 23, and a material tray 24. Optionally, the base 21 includes a bottom plate 211, side plates 212, and end plates 213. There are two side plates 212 and two end plates 213. The two side plates 212 are installed on both sides of the bottom plate 211, and the two end plates 213 are respectively installed on both ends of the side plates 212. Further, the side plate 212 includes a panel portion 2121, side ears 2122, and a partition portion 2123. There are two side ears 2122, which are connected to both ends of the panel portion 2121. One side of the side ear 2122 abuts against the end plate 213, and the bottom of the side ear 2122 abuts against the bottom plate 211. The partition portion 2123 is connected to the top of the panel portion 2121 and is used to abut against the bottom of the support plate 23. In one embodiment, both the base 21 and the support plate 23 are made of iron, resulting in a robust structure.

[0033] In one embodiment, there are multiple vibrators 22, which are mounted on the base 21. The output end of the vibrator 22 is connected to the support plate 23, and a material tray 24 is mounted on the support plate 23 for placing materials. Optionally, the vibrator 22 is mounted on the base plate 211; further, the vibrator 22 is a motor, which is prior art; in one embodiment, there are four vibrators 22, which are respectively mounted at the four corners of the base plate 211 to ensure uniform vibration.

[0034] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3The shock absorption assembly 30 includes a base plate 31, a fixing plate 32, and a buffer member 33. The base plate 31 is mounted on the machine base 10, the fixing plate 32 is mounted on the bottom of the base 21, and one end of the buffer member 33 is connected to the base plate 31, while the other end is connected to the fixing plate 32. Multiple shock absorption assemblies 30 are included, each corresponding to one of the vibrators 22. Optionally, the base plate 31 has a through hole 310, one end of the buffer member 33 corresponds to the through hole 310, and the other end is connected to the outer side of the fixing plate 32. Further, the diameter of the through hole 310 is larger than the diameter of the fixing plate 32, and the through hole 310 and the fixing plate 32 are coaxially arranged. Ventilation holes 101 connect to the through holes 310, and each ventilation hole 101 corresponds to one of the through holes 310. Furthermore, the fixing plate 32 has a threaded hole 320 in the middle to accommodate a fastener; the fastener is used to fix the fixing plate 32 and the base 21, specifically, the fastener is a screw, and the fastener fixes the base plate 211 and the fixing plate 32; in other embodiments, the fastener fixes the base plate 211 and the fixing plate 32. In one embodiment, the buffer 33 is a hollow structure; optionally, the base plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 are made of stainless steel; the buffer 33 is made of rubber, which has good elasticity and low hardness.

[0035] In use, the bottom of the vibrator 22 is mounted on the base plate 211, the material tray 24 is mounted on the support plate 23, and the support plate 23 is mounted on each vibrator 22. Then, the base plate 31 is fixed to the machine base 10 with screws, and the base plate 211 is fixed to the fixing plate 32 with screws. The four vibrators 22 are started synchronously, causing the material tray 24 to vibrate. When the vibrator 22 vibrates, it drives the base 21 to vibrate, which in turn drives the fixing plate 32 to vibrate, thereby causing the buffer 33 to deform. Furthermore, the gas inside the buffer 33 is exhausted through the through hole 310 and the vent hole 101. With one end of the buffer 33 connected to the base plate 31 and the other end connected to the fixing plate 32, it can absorb the vibration caused by the operation of the vibrator 22, thereby reducing the vibration of the machine base 10 and providing excellent vibration isolation and buffering effects.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 The present invention relates to a flexible feeding device 200, which includes the aforementioned flexible vibration device 100 with a shock-absorbing structure. At least two bearing components are installed on the machine base. Through the shock absorption and buffering of the shock-absorbing components, the interference between adjacent bearing components on the machine base is reduced. That is, when one bearing component vibrates, the other bearing component can feed material at the same time, thereby improving the feeding efficiency and solving the problem that the vibration of one bearing component causes the material of the other bearing component to shift, affecting the material picking accuracy.

[0037] The flexible vibration device 100 with shock absorption structure of this utility model is connected to the base 21 through the fixing plate 32, one end of the buffer 33 is connected to the base plate 31, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 32. The shock absorption component 30 is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the vibrator 22, thereby reducing the vibration of the machine table 10 and further reducing the vibration of the adjacent material trays 24 on the machine table 10. The flexible vibration device 100 with shock absorption structure has a simple structure and good shock absorption effect.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.
