Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo processing, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for whole bundles of bamboo strips. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the assembly and feeding of bamboo strips in the market is often done manually. Since the bamboo strips need to be stacked neatly and sent to the next process, they need to be placed one by one. This manual operation is difficult and time-consuming, affecting processing efficiency. Moreover, small displacements may occur during manual placement, resulting in inaccurate material placement and causing a series of subsequent production qualification rate problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic feeding device for whole bundles of bamboo strips, so as to realize the neat stacking of bamboo materials and automatic conveying to subsequent devices, improve the level of mechanization and automation, and improve processing efficiency and conveying accuracy.

[0004] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for whole bundles of bamboo strips, including a frame, a transverse track arranged horizontally on a support, and a placement mechanism movably arranged on the transverse track. The placement mechanism is provided with a strip-shaped conveying channel. The upper part of the conveying channel is open for placing bamboo strips, and one end is open as the outlet end for bamboo strip output. The placement mechanism is provided with a pushing mechanism, which includes a pushing block and a first motor. The pushing block is driven by the first motor to move forward or backward along the conveying channel, thereby pushing the bamboo strips in the conveying channel out of the outlet end when moving forward. The placement mechanism is powered by a translation drive mechanism to perform translational adjustment along the transverse track, thereby making the outlet end of the conveying channel correspond to the devices at different subsequent positions.

[0005] As an improvement, the placement mechanism includes a main support, a base frame, and several limiting rods. The bottom of the main support is slidably mounted on a transverse track. The main support and several limiting rods form a conveying channel on both sides of the base frame. The base frame is used for bamboo strip support and placement, and the main support and several limiting rods limit the movement on both sides.

[0006] As an improvement, several limiting rods are vertically spaced on one side of the base frame to block the bamboo strips and reduce friction between the structures by the spacing.

[0007] As an improvement, the feeding mechanism also includes a frame for mounting the pusher block and the first motor, a gear mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, and a rack mounted on the placement mechanism. The gear and rack mesh with each other, and when the first motor is working, the gear moves along the rack, thereby driving the frame and the pusher block on it to move forward or backward along the conveying channel.

[0008] As an improvement, the placement mechanism is also equipped with a longitudinal track parallel to the rack, and the frame is slidably mounted on the longitudinal track.

[0009] As an improvement, the translation drive mechanism includes a second motor, a lead screw, and a nut seat. The nut seat is mounted on the placement mechanism, and the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the frame. The second motor is connected to the lead screw for driving, and the nut seat is sleeved on the lead screw. Thus, when the second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, it drives the nut seat and the placement mechanism to move.

[0010] As an improvement, multiple sets of transverse tracks are spaced apart on the frame, allowing the placement mechanism to be supported on them and to cooperate in its operation.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This device is simple and convenient to operate. Simply put the bamboo strips into the conveyor channel and start the motor to complete the automatic and uniform output and feeding of the bamboo strips.

[0013] 2. This device can automatically and uniformly discharge materials. It limits the material through the conveyor channel and automatically pushes the material, ensuring that the bamboo strips are discharged neatly and stably, guaranteeing the quality of subsequent processing and saving a lot of manpower.

[0014] 3. This device is highly efficient. By translating, the output position of the bamboo strips can be adjusted to achieve automatic feeding of multiple feed ports of the subsequent horizontally arranged processing device, which greatly improves processing efficiency.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2The image shows a specific embodiment of the automatic bamboo strip feeding device of this utility model. This embodiment includes a frame 1, a transverse track 5 horizontally mounted on the support 1, and a placement mechanism 2 movably mounted on the transverse track 5. The placement mechanism 2 has a strip-shaped conveying channel 3, with the upper part of the conveying channel 3 open for placing bamboo strips and one end open as the bamboo strip output outlet. The placement mechanism 2 is equipped with a pushing mechanism 4, which includes a pushing block 41 and a first motor 42. The pushing block 41 is driven by the first motor 42 to move forward or backward along the conveying channel 3, thereby pushing the bamboo strips in the conveying channel 3 out of the outlet end when moving forward. The placement mechanism 2 is powered by a translation drive mechanism 6 to adjust its position by translating along the transverse track 5, thereby aligning the outlet end of the conveying channel 3 with subsequent devices at different positions.

[0020] In use, the first step is bamboo strip feeding: a bundle of bamboo strips is placed from top to bottom into the strip-shaped conveyor channel 3 on the placement mechanism 2. The conveyor channel 3 can be adjusted in width to accommodate bundles of bamboo strip blanks of different sizes. The second step is selecting the feed port: the subsequent device has multiple feed ports arranged horizontally. Before feeding, the feed port of the subsequent device is determined. The translation drive mechanism 6 starts to move the placement mechanism 2 along the transverse track 5 to the corresponding feed port of the subsequent device. The third step is bamboo strip feeding: after the placement mechanism 2 containing the bundle of bamboo strip blanks is aligned with the feed port, the first motor 42 controls the movement of the push block 41. The push block 41 moves forward to push the bamboo strip blanks into the feed port of the next device. During the forward movement, the uneven bamboo materials are automatically aligned front to back, realizing automatic alignment and feeding of bamboo materials.

[0021] As an improved specific implementation, the placement mechanism 2 includes a main support 21, a base frame 22 and several limiting rods 23. The bottom of the main support 21 is slidably set on the transverse track 5. The main support 21 and several limiting rods 23 form a conveying channel 3 on both sides of the base frame 22. The base frame 22 is used for bamboo strip support and placement. The main support 21 and several limiting rods 23 limit the bamboo strips on both sides.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the main support 21 forms the main support structure, which facilitates the installation of a slider and a transverse track 5 at the bottom and the arrangement of a pushing mechanism 4 at the top; the base frame 22 is a long rod for supporting and placing bamboo strips; the other side is enclosed by several limiting rods 23 to form a conveying channel 3; the spacing between the limiting rods 23 and the main support 21 can be adjusted by the existing adjustment structure to accommodate bundles of bamboo strip blanks of different sizes and adapt to different feeding requirements.

[0023] As an improved specific implementation, a number of limiting rods 23 are vertically spaced on one side of the base frame 22 to block the bamboo strips and reduce friction between the structures by the spacing.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, preferably, several limiting rods 23 can be set according to the length of the conveying channel 3. The limiting rods 23 are set vertically at intervals to reduce friction when pushing bamboo strips and improve feeding smoothness. The limiting rods 23 can be set with a spacing adjustment structure to reduce the difficulty and cost of setting the structure.

[0025] As an improved specific implementation, the pushing mechanism 4 also includes a frame 40 for mounting the push block 41 and the first motor 42, a gear 43 disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 42, and a rack 44 disposed on the placement mechanism 2. The gear 43 and the rack 44 mesh with each other. When the first motor 42 is working, the gear 43 moves along the rack 44, thereby driving the frame 40 and the push block 41 thereon to move forward or backward along the conveying channel 3.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 40 is configured to slide on the placement mechanism 2, specifically on the main support 21. The rack 44 is set along the main support 21. When the first motor 42 drives, the gear 43 rotates and moves along the rack 44, realizing the movement of the frame 40 and the push block 41. The first motor 42 is preferably a servo motor, thereby performing precise start and stop control on the operation of the push block 41.

[0027] As an improved specific implementation, the placement mechanism 2 is also provided with a longitudinal track 45 parallel to the rack 44, and the frame 40 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal track 45.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the frame 40 is equipped with a slider that cooperates with the longitudinal track 45, so that the frame 40 is stably set on the main support 21, and the frame 40 can be smoothly slid along the longitudinal track 45 to adjust its position when the gear 43 and the rack 44 mesh and drive.

[0029] As an improved specific implementation, the translation drive mechanism 6 includes a second motor 61, a lead screw 62, and a nut seat 63. The nut seat 63 is disposed on the placement mechanism 2, and the lead screw 62 is rotatably disposed on the frame 1. The second motor 61 is connected to the lead screw 62 for driving, and the nut seat 63 is sleeved on the lead screw 62. Thus, when the second motor 61 drives the lead screw 62 to rotate, it drives the nut seat 63 and the placement mechanism 2 to move.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the second motor 61 can preferably be a servo motor, which is started and stopped by a control module to ensure that the placement mechanism 2 is translated to a precise position so that the conveying channel 3 is aligned with the feed inlet of the subsequent device. Specifically, the placement mechanism 2 has several sets of nut seats 63 arranged at the lower part of the main support 21, and the nut seats 63 are sleeved on the lead screw 62. When the second motor 61 drives the lead screw 62 to rotate, it can drive the nut seats 63 to translate along the lead screw 62, thereby driving the main support 21 to translate along the transverse track 5, and the overall drive is stable.

[0031] As an improved specific implementation, multiple sets of transverse tracks 5 are arranged at intervals on the frame 1, so that the placement mechanism 2 is supported on them and can cooperate with them.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the transverse track 5 can be set on both sides of the frame 1 and at the position of the limit rod 23 to ensure uniform force distribution and stable structural support.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
