[0004] In summary, the existing cover feeding mechanism has shortcomings such as low feeding efficiency and impact on production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of low feeding efficiency in the existing cover feeding mechanism, and provides a feeding mechanism for manufacturing enamel QR code covers for liquefied petroleum gas with improved feeding efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A feeding mechanism for manufacturing enamel QR code covers for liquefied petroleum gas includes...
[0008] The storage bin assembly is connected to a vibratory feeder, and the vibratory feeder is connected to a material turning track;
[0009] The receiving bracket is placed on the side of the vibratory feeder. The receiving bracket is movably connected to the discharge plate, which has several feeding holes.
[0010] The movable plate and the discharge plate are detachably connected to one end of the movable plate. The receiving bracket is connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism is connected to the movable plate.
[0011] Limiting baffle, the limiting baffle is connected to the receiving bracket, and the limiting baffle is arranged opposite to the turning track;
[0012] The limiting seat is detachably connected to the receiving bracket, and a guide strip is detachably connected to the other end of the movable plate. The guide strip is slidably connected to the limiting seat.
[0013] The conveying mechanism is located on the side of the receiving bracket. The conveying mechanism is connected to the receiving plate and the robotic arm. The robotic arm is connected to the clamping plate. The clamping plate is provided with several clamping slots. The receiving plate is provided with several feeding slots. The clamping plate is movably connected to the receiving plate and the discharge plate.
[0014] The storage bin assembly stores a large quantity of materials for making enamel QR code covers. A vibratory feeder is connected below the storage bin assembly to receive the covers. The vibratory feeder connects to the material-turning track for feeding. A receiving bracket is located on one side of the vibratory feeder to receive the covers exiting the material-turning track. The discharge plate on the receiving bracket moves to allow the materials to enter the feed hole one by one. The covers are conveyed vertically by rolling within the vibratory feeder for smooth movement, and then rotated 90 degrees via the material-turning track to allow the covers to enter the feed hole laterally (without rolling). This ensures that the covers are stably fed one by one onto the discharge plate. The discharge plate is detachably connected to the moving plate on the drive mechanism to ensure controlled movement and facilitate assembly. Maintenance and replacement; the limiting seat is connected to the receiving bracket to ensure the movement of the moving plate is guided and prevents deviation through the relative movement of the guide strip and the limiting seat. The limiting baffle is connected to the receiving bracket and is opposite to the flipping track to intercept and limit the cover, preventing the cover from deviating and ensuring it falls accurately into the feeding hole; the conveying mechanism is located on one side of the receiving bracket and uses the movement of the robotic arm to connect the discharge plate and the receiving plate through the clamping plate. The receiving plate is equipped with several feeding slots, so that the covers on the discharge plate are concentrated and transferred to the receiving plate during the movement of the clamping plate. The conveying mechanism drives the receiving plate to continuously receive materials, so as to further sort the materials and realize batch feeding, which facilitates the printing of QR codes later, greatly improving production efficiency. It achieves the effects of improving the conveying efficiency and feeding accuracy of feeding, realizing high-intensity batch feeding to improve production efficiency, and having a structure that is easy to assemble and maintain.
[0015] Preferably, the vibratory feeder includes a linear feeder connected to the vibratory feeder. The linear feeder has a feeding chamber, and one end of a tilting track is connected to the linear feeder. The tilting track has a tilting chamber, one end of which is connected to the feeding chamber. An upper and lower top block are connected inside the tilting chamber, arranged diagonally on the inner wall of the tilting chamber. The linear feeder in the vibratory feeder feeds the cover piece out of the vibratory feeder and into the tilting track through rolling and pushing. The inner cavity of the tilting track is designed as a tilting chamber with openings on both sides, allowing the cover piece to enter from one end and exit from the other end under the action of the vibratory feeder. The cover piece inside the tilting chamber gradually tilts over with the cooperation of the upper and lower top blocks, so that the surface of the cover piece to be printed with the QR code faces upwards. This achieves the effect of stable flipping of the cover piece, facilitating feeding and subsequent printing.
[0016] Preferably, the limiting baffle includes a baffle plate and a limiting plate. The baffle plate has an arc shape, with its opening facing the other end of the tipping chamber. One end of the limiting plate is connected to the baffle plate, and the other end of the limiting plate has a mounting hole. The limiting plate is bolted to the receiving bracket through the mounting hole. The most prominent point of the arc surface of the baffle plate coincides vertically with the outermost edge of the feed hole below, so that the cover, under pushing, aligns with the most prominent point along the arc surface and falls accurately into the discharge hole under gravity. The limiting plate supports the baffle plate, ensuring the baffle plate's stress and installation stability. The bolted connection between the limiting plate and the receiving bracket facilitates assembly and subsequent maintenance. This further enhances the feeding accuracy and assembly stability.
[0017] Preferably, a sliding ramp is provided at the upper end of the feed hole. The sliding ramp is a chamfer on the upper surface of the discharge plate and the wall of the feed hole. The upper end of the feed hole has an arc-shaped chamfered surface that connects with the upper surface of the discharge plate and is designed as a sliding ramp, which further guides the cover as it falls into the feed hole, thereby enhancing the feeding accuracy.
[0018] Preferably, the movable plate has several mounting holes (II), and the discharge plate and guide strip are bolted to the movable plate through these mounting holes (II). Several mounting holes (II) are also provided on one and the other side of the movable plate. The discharge plate is bolted to one side of the movable plate through these mounting holes (II), and the guide strip is bolted to the other side through these mounting holes (II). This achieves a quick and stable assembly structure while facilitating future replacement and maintenance.
[0019] Preferably, the receiving bracket is equipped with a limiting guide groove, and the discharge plate is slidably connected to the limiting guide groove. The limiting guide groove has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape. The discharge plate rests on the limiting guide groove and moves along it, causing the cover piece falling into the feed hole to move along the groove surface with the discharge plate. This improves the stability and guidance of the discharge plate's movement, thereby enhancing operational accuracy.
[0020] Preferably, the receiving bracket is connected to a fixed seat, and the limiting seat has three mounting holes. The limiting seat is bolted to the fixed seat through the mounting holes three. The limiting seat has a guide groove, and the guide strip is engaged with the guide groove. The fixed seat is connected to the receiving bracket, and the limiting seat is bolted to the fixed seat through the mounting holes three to facilitate the assembly of the guide strip and the moving plate, and then to fix the limiting seat. This allows for quick disassembly during maintenance, thus ensuring the stability of the structural assembly and operation.
[0021] Preferably, the clamping plate is connected to several suction pipes and inflation pipes, and a suction cup is connected inside the clamping groove. The suction cup is connected to a connecting pipe, and both the suction pipes and inflation pipes are connected to the connecting pipe. The clamping plate is connected to a corresponding number of suction pipes and inflation pipes corresponding to the clamping groove. The suction pipes are connected to a negative pressure device, and the inflation pipes are connected to an inflation device. The connecting pipe is connected to the suction cup. After the suction cup presses against the surface of the cover, the cover is stably connected to the suction cup through negative pressure. Then, a robotic arm moves the cover above the loading groove, aligning the clamping groove and the loading groove vertically. Inflation then causes the cover to fall into the loading groove, achieving transfer and loading. This improves loading efficiency and stability.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: improving the conveying efficiency and feeding accuracy of the material; realizing high-intensity batch feeding to improve production efficiency; the structure is easy to assemble and maintain; realizing stable flipping of the cover to facilitate feeding and subsequent printing; enhancing assembly stability; improving movement stability and guidance, thereby improving operation accuracy.
