Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding machine technology, specifically a universal structure for feeding machines that can adapt to a variety of materials. Background Technology
[0002] Feeding materials into processing equipment is a crucial step in production, directly impacting production efficiency and product quality. Choosing the appropriate feeding method requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as material characteristics, production needs, and equipment costs to ensure production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] However, some specialized processing equipment requires feeding materials with different properties, such as powders, liquids, or solids. Existing equipment can only feed materials using multiple feeding devices individually, or requires changing feeding devices each time to feed different types of materials, which is highly inefficient. Therefore, we propose a universal feeding machine structure adaptable to various materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal structure for a feeder that can adapt to a variety of materials. This universal structure for a feeder that can adapt to a variety of materials solves the problem that the feeding device cannot arbitrarily switch the types of materials to be fed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A universal structure for a feeder adaptable to various materials includes a base, a connecting arm, a connecting plate, and a feeding hopper. The top surface of the base is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting arm, and the top surface of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate.
[0007] It also includes a control unit, which is used to control the switching of feeding different materials;
[0008] The linkage unit is used to ensure the stability of feeding when switching between different materials;
[0009] The control unit includes a fixed tube that passes through and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed tube. The top surface of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding hopper. A bracket is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the bracket. A linkage block passes through and is rotatably connected to the inner side of the limit ring.
[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the linkage block is connected to a first feeding pipe and a second feeding pipe.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating ring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the linkage block, the rotating ring passes through the connecting disc and is rotatably connected, and a knob passes through and is fixedly connected to the linkage block.
[0012] Preferably, a ratchet is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating ring, and a pull rod is slidably connected through the inner side of the connecting disc.
[0013] Preferably, a pulling block is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod located outside the connecting plate, and a pawl is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod near the ratchet.
[0014] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the pawl, and the end of the spring away from the pawl is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting disc.
[0015] Preferably, the linkage includes an inclined telescopic tube that passes through the base and is slidably connected. The base has an inner groove. An anti-detachment ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inclined telescopic tube. The anti-detachment ring is located in the groove and is slidably connected. A spring is fixedly connected between the inclined telescopic tube and the inner side of the base.
[0016] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a universal structure for a feeding machine that is adaptable to various materials. It possesses at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model allows for the following: after the raw materials in the hopper are fed, the inclined telescopic tube is pressed down, and then the knob is turned again. The knob drives the linkage block to rotate in the opposite direction. When the linkage block rotates, it also drives the ratchet to rotate through the rotating ring. The ratchet pawl provides one-way limit to the ratchet. When switching back and forth between the first and second feeding tubes, the linkage block can be guaranteed not to reverse. If it is necessary to reverse, the pull block can be pulled back. The pull block drives the ratchet pawl to no longer limit the ratchet, and the linkage block can be reversed to switch between the first and second feeding tubes. This allows the feeding hopper and the control unit to freely switch the types of raw materials fed to change the feeding tube at any time.
[0018] 2. This utility model involves turning a knob, which causes the linkage block to rotate within the limiting ring. Simultaneously, the rotation of the linkage block causes the first and second feeding pipes, which are used to feed the raw materials, to rotate. The first and second feeding pipes rotate around the center line of the linkage block. As the first feeding pipe rotates with the linkage block, it gradually comes into contact with the inclined surface of the top of the inclined telescopic tube, forcing the inclined telescopic tube to move downwards. The inner side of the inclined telescopic tube compresses the second spring downwards. Once the first feeding pipe aligns with the axis of the fixed tube, the knob is stopped. The axis of the first feeding pipe is now aligned with the inclined telescopic tube, so the first feeding pipe no longer comes into contact with the inclined surface of the inclined telescopic tube. At this point, the compressed second spring lifts the inclined telescopic tube, securing the first feeding pipe and ensuring stable feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] A universal structure for a feeder adaptable to various materials, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the system includes a base 1, a connecting arm 4, a connecting plate 5, and a feeding hopper 6. The top surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting arm 4, and the top surface of the connecting arm 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 5. It also includes a control unit 2 for controlling the switching of feeding different materials; and a linkage unit 3 for ensuring the stability of feeding when switching between feeding different materials. The control unit 2 includes a fixed pipe 21, which passes through the connecting plate 5 and is fixedly connected. A connecting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed pipe 21. The top surface of the connecting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feeding hopper 6. A bracket 23 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. A limit ring 24 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the bracket 23. A linkage block 25 passes through and is rotatably connected to the inner side of the limit ring 24. The inner side of the linkage block 25 is connected to a first feeding pipe 26 and a second feeding pipe 27. Turning the knob 210 causes the linkage block 25 to rotate within the limiting ring 24. Simultaneously, the rotation of the linkage block 25 causes the first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27, which are feeding the required raw materials, to rotate, causing them to rotate around the center line of the linkage block 25. A rotating ring 28 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the linkage block 25, passing through and rotatably connecting to the connecting disc 5. The linkage block 25 is also connected to the knob 210. A ratchet 29 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating ring 28, and a pull rod 211 is slidably connected through and slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting disc 5. A pull block 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod 211 located outside the connecting plate 5. A pawl 213 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 211 near the ratchet 29. When the linkage block 25 rotates, it also drives the ratchet 29 to rotate together through the rotating ring 28. The pawl 213 provides unidirectional limiting for the ratchet 29, ensuring that the linkage block 25 will not reverse when switching back and forth between the first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27. A spring 214 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pawl 213, and the end of the spring 214 away from the pawl 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 5.
[0029] The linkage 3 includes an inclined telescopic tube 31, which passes through the base 1 and is slidably connected. The inner side of the base 1 is provided with a movable groove 32. The bottom of the inclined telescopic tube 31 is fixedly connected with an anti-detachment ring 33, which is located in the movable groove 32 and is slidably connected. A second spring 34 is fixedly connected between the inclined telescopic tube 31 and the inner side of the base 1. After the position of the first feeding tube 26 is rotated to be consistent with the axis of the fixed tube 21, the knob 210 is stopped. The axis of the first feeding tube 26 is also aligned with the inclined telescopic tube 31, so that the first feeding tube 26 no longer touches the inclined surface of the inclined telescopic tube 31. At this time, the compressed second spring 34 will push the inclined telescopic tube 31 up and cover the first feeding tube 26, ensuring that the first feeding tube 26 can stably feed materials.
[0030] In use, based on the above-described embodiments, the universal structure of the feeding machine adaptable to various materials of this utility model first connects the flange of the base 1 to the processing equipment. The feeding pipe can be switched according to the type of material to be fed. Furthermore, the first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27 can be replaced according to the type of material being fed. For example, if liquid feeding is required, a drip-type or filling-type feeding pipe can be used. Then, the knob 210 can be turned. When the knob 210 is turned, it will cause the linkage block 25 to rotate within the limit ring 24. Simultaneously, the rotation of the linkage block 25 will drive... The first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27, which are used to feed the raw materials, rotate around the center line of the linkage block 25. As the first feeding pipe 26 rotates with the linkage block 25, it gradually comes into contact with the inclined surface of the top of the inclined telescopic pipe 31, thus forcing the inclined telescopic pipe 31 to move downward. The inner side of the inclined telescopic pipe 31 compresses the second spring 34 downward. After the position of the first feeding pipe 26 is aligned with the axis of the fixed pipe 21, the knob 210 is stopped from rotating. The axis of the first feeding pipe 26 is also aligned with the inclined telescopic pipe 31, so that the first feeding pipe 26 no longer touches the inclined surface of the inclined telescopic pipe 31. At this time, the compressed spring 24 will push the inclined telescopic pipe 31 up to cover the first feeding pipe 26, ensuring that the first feeding pipe 26 can stably feed materials. Then, the raw materials to be fed are poured into the feeding hopper 6. If the raw materials need to be changed, after the raw materials in the feeding hopper 6 have been fed, the inclined telescopic pipe 31 is pressed down, and then the knob 210 is turned again. The knob 210 drives the linkage block 25 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the linkage... When block 25 rotates, it also drives ratchet 29 to rotate through rotating ring 28. The ratchet 29 is unidirectionally limited by pawl 213. When switching back and forth between the first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27, it can ensure that the linkage block 25 will not reverse. If it is necessary to reverse, the pull block 212 can be pulled back. By pulling block 212, the ratchet 213 will no longer limit the ratchet 29, and the linkage block 25 can be reversed to switch between the first feeding pipe 26 and the second feeding pipe 27. This allows the feeding hopper 6 and the control unit 2 to freely switch the type of raw material to change the feeding pipe at any time.
