Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button feeding technology for button attaching machines, specifically a vibrating feeding plate. Background Technology
[0002] Button attaching machines are widely used in garment factories and leather goods processing enterprises. They are mainly used to attach various types of metal buttons to knitted garments, down jackets, denim clothing, shoes, hats, leather products, etc. Button attaching machines are generally used in conjunction with vibratory feeders. The vibratory feeder is equipped with tracks on which the parts to be processed can be arranged and conveyed in an orderly manner, and then fed in an orderly manner. This improves the automation level of industrial production, avoids manual feeding, and saves labor costs.
[0003] Currently, most buttons are conveyed using vibratory feeders, such as the vibratory feeder with a novel turning device disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN2021231890147. Figure 5 The upper buckle has a large surface 61 and a small surface 62, which correspond to the two surfaces of the upper buckle, a flat surface and a protruding post. When the upper buckle is conveyed in the vibratory feeder, the workpiece is sorted by the material sorting plate. The material sorting plate narrows the conveying channel. When the large surface of the upper buckle contacts the channel, the large surface provides good support for the upper buckle, so the upper buckle will not fall off. When the large surface 61 of the upper buckle passes through this part of the conveying channel 11 with the upper buckle facing upward, the upper buckle will fall onto the next level of the conveying channel 11 because the conveying channel 11 is too narrow.
[0004] In actual use, the position of the material distribution plate needs to be adjusted to ensure the conveying channel is at a suitable width so that the upper clips do not fall off when there is a large contact area with the channel. Because the conveying channel is narrowed, the number of upper clips that can pass through is limited; the upper clips may become stuck at the material distribution plate, reducing the amount of upper clips delivered, thus affecting efficiency and production capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a vibrating feeder. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to improve the feeding efficiency of the vibrating feeder.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A vibrating feeding disc includes a vibrating disc body, wherein the vibrating disc body is provided with a spirally rising feeding channel, characterized in that the feeding channel includes an inclined screening channel, the height of the screening channel gradually increases from the side closer to the center of the vibrating disc body to the side farther away from the center of the vibrating disc body, and inclined guide channels are also provided on both sides of the screening channel, with baffles provided on the inner side of the guide channels, and height-adjustable screening plates are also connected to the inner wall of the feeding channel, the height of the screening plates being less than the height of the baffles on both sides, and the height of the screening plates being higher than the height of the inner edge of the screening channel.
[0007] In this vibrating feeder, taking the upper buckle from the background technology as an example, the guide channel and screening channel are set at an angle. Under the action of gravity, the upper buckle slides towards the center of the vibrating feeder. The upper buckle at the guide channel is attached to the inner baffle. The baffle prevents the upper buckle located at the guide channel from falling into the next feeding channel. When the large surface of the upper buckle contacts the screening channel, since the height of the screening plate is higher than the height of the inner edge of the screening channel, the screening plate blocks the large surface of the upper buckle, preventing the upper buckle from falling from the screening channel into the next feeding channel. When the protrusion of the upper buckle contacts the screening channel, the blocking effect of the screening plate on the protrusion of the upper buckle is less than the gravity acting on the upper buckle, and the upper buckle will slide from the screening channel into the next feeding channel. In this way, the orientation of the upper buckle is sorted. With the above structure, the workpieces at the guide channel will adhere to the baffle and enter the screening channel. The guide channel plays a guiding role, preventing the workpieces from being squeezed in the screening channel, allowing the upper buckle to complete the sorting normally without reducing the amount of upper buckle fed out, thus ensuring conveying efficiency and production capacity. Moreover, after the upper buckle falls from the screen, it is highly likely to flip over, allowing a large surface to come into contact with the feeding channel, which can further improve efficiency.
[0008] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, the vibrating plate body has a groove on the side wall inside the screening channel, and the screening plate is located within the groove. The groove facilitates the installation of the screening plate.
[0009] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, the upper end of the screening plate is inclined, and the height of the inner edge of the upper end is lower than the height of the outer edge. The inclined upper end of the screening plate serves as a guide, which is beneficial for screening the workpieces.
[0010] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, the baffle is arranged along the spiral extension direction of the feeding channel, and the baffle and the vibrating feeder body are integrally formed. The integral forming of the baffle and the vibrating feeder body facilitates the manufacturing of the vibrating feeder.
[0011] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, vertical adjustment holes are provided on the side wall of the vibrating feeder body. These adjustment holes are located in grooves, and the screening plate also has fixing holes. The screening plate is fixed in the grooves by screws, which pass through the adjustment holes and are located within the fixing holes. The height of the screening plate can be adjusted by the adjustment holes to accommodate workpieces of different thicknesses, thus broadening the applicability of the vibrating feeder.
[0012] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, the tilt angle of the screening channel is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the tilt angle of the guide channel is less than the tilt angle of the screening channel.
[0013] In the aforementioned vibratory feeder, the feeding channel is also inclined with a tilting channel. The height of the tilting channel gradually decreases from the side closer to the center of the vibratory feeder to the side farther away from the center. The tilting channel is connected to one of the guide channels. The connection between the guide channel and the tilting channel facilitates the orderly entry of workpieces into the tilting channel, improving conveying efficiency.
[0014] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, a baffle plate is also fixedly connected to the vibrating feeder body, and the baffle plate is positioned above the screening channel. The baffle plate, positioned above the screening channel, is used for secondary screening of stacked workpieces.
[0015] In the aforementioned vibrating feeder, the feeding channel can extend in a clockwise direction or in a counterclockwise direction.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. In this utility model, by setting the guide channel and the screening channel at an inclination, and by setting a screening plate at the screening channel, the workpiece at the guide channel will stick to the baffle and enter the screening channel. The guide channel plays a guiding role, and the workpiece will not be squeezed at the screening channel. It can be sorted normally at the top without reducing the amount sent out by the top, thus ensuring conveying efficiency and production capacity.
[0018] 2. In this utility model, the height of the screening plate can be adjusted, and the vibrating plate can be used to sort workpieces of different thicknesses. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this vibrating feeder includes a bowl-shaped vibrating plate body 1. Several feeding channels 2 are provided within the vibrating plate body 1, and the feeding channels 2 are spirally ascending. In this embodiment, the feeding channels 2 are clockwise when viewed from above; alternatively, they can be counterclockwise. The end of the feeding channels 2 is the outlet end of the vibrating plate. The vibrating plate body 1 is used to place workpieces, and a vibrating element is provided below the vibrating plate body 1. The vibrating element uses existing technology. The vibrating element drives the vibrating plate body 1 to vibrate, causing the workpieces within the vibrating plate body 1 to be sequentially conveyed upwards along the feeding channels 2 and finally discharged from the outlet end. An inclined screening channel 3 is included above the feeding channels 2. The height of the screening channel 3 gradually increases from the side closer to the center of the vibrating plate body 1 to the side farther away from the center of the vibrating plate body 1, and the inclination angle of the screening channel 3 is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. Figure 3 As shown, in this example, the tilt angle of the screening channel 3 relative to the horizontal line A is 45 degrees.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the workpiece of this utility model is a fastener 9, the upper side of the fastener 9 is the upper plane 9a, and the lower side of the fastener 9 is the lower plane.
[0029] Inclined guide channels 4 are provided on both sides of the screening channel 3. The inclination angle of the guide channels 4 is smaller than that of the screening channel 3. The guide channels 4 include a first guide channel 4a and a second guide channel 4b, wherein the second guide channel 4b is closer to the outlet of the vibrating disc 1. The inclination angle of the first guide channel 4a gradually increases along the extension direction of the feeding channel 2, while the inclination angle of the second guide channel 4b gradually decreases. A baffle 5 is provided on the inner side of the guide channels 4 and along the spiral extension direction of the feeding channel 2. The baffle 5 and the vibrating disc 1 are integrally formed. An inclined tilting channel 7 is also provided on the feeding channel 2. The height of the tilting channel 7 gradually decreases from the side closer to the center of the vibrating disc 1 to the side farther away from the center of the vibrating disc 1. The tilting channel 7 is connected to the second guide channel 4b.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable-height screening plate 6 is also connected to the inner wall of the feeding channel 2. The height of the screening plate 6 is less than the height of its two side baffles 5, and the height of the screening plate 6 is higher than the height of the inner edge of the screening channel 3. Specifically, the vibrating disc 1 has a groove 1a on the inner side wall of the screening channel 3, and the screening plate 6 is located in the groove 1a. A vertical adjustment hole 1b is provided on the side wall of the vibrating disc 1, and the adjustment hole 1b is located at the groove 1a. The screening plate 6 also has a fixing hole 6a, and the screening plate 6 is fixed in the groove 1a by screws. The screws pass through the adjustment hole 1b and are located in the fixing hole 6a.
[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the guide channel 4 and the screening channel 3 are set at an angle. The pins 9 in the guide channel 4 enter the screening channel 3 close to the baffle 5. The baffle 5 prevents the pins 9 located in the guide channel 4 from falling into the next feeding channel 2. Under the action of gravity, the pins 9 slide towards the center of the vibrating disc 1. When the lower surface of the pin 9 contacts the screening channel 3, since the contact area between the lower surface and the screening channel is larger than that of the upper surface, and the thickness of the body on which the lower surface is located is greater than the thickness of the body on which the upper surface 9a is located, and the height of the screening plate 6 is higher than the height of the inner edge of the screening channel 3, the screening plate 6 blocks the pins 9, preventing the pins 9 from falling from the screening channel 3 into the next feeding channel 2. When the upper surface 9a of the pin 9 contacts the screening channel 3, the blocking effect of the screening plate 6 on the pins 9 is less than the effect of gravity on the pins 9, and the pins 9 will slide from the screening channel 3 into the next feeding channel 2. In this way, the orientation of the pins 9 is sorted. With the above structure, the buckle 9 will not be squeezed in the screening channel, and the buckle 9 can be sorted normally without reducing the amount of buckle 9 sent out, thus ensuring conveying efficiency and production capacity.
[0032] When the lower body of the fastener 9 is relatively thick, and the lower plane of the fastener 9 contacts the screening channel 3, the blocking effect of the screening plate on the fastener 9 can be increased by raising the height of the screening plate 6. At the same time, the height of the screening plate must also be sufficient to ensure that when the upper plane 9a of the fastener 9 contacts the screening channel 3, the fastener 9 will fall into the next feeding channel 2.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same in structure as the first embodiment. The difference is that a baffle 8 is also fixedly connected to the vibrating plate body, and the baffle 8 is located above the screening channel.
[0035] When the lower plane of the buckle 9 contacts the screening channel 3 and the two buckles 9 overlap, the baffle 8 is located above the screening channel and at a suitable distance from the screening channel. This allows for secondary screening of the stacked buckles 9, so that the upper buckles 9 fall back into the next feeding channel 2, which can improve the screening effect.

Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
