Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a feeding device for heat pipe processing. Background Technology

[0002] A heat pipe is a heat dissipation material, the main body of which is a copper tube. The production of heat pipes requires various processing steps. During the processing, heat pipes need to be continuously fed, and a feeding device is generally used for feeding.

[0003] An existing feeding device for heat pipe processing (publication number: CN213651110U) has at least the following drawbacks:

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the width of the discharge notch at the bottom of the material box matches the diameter of the heat-conducting pipe. The discharge notch enables the orderly drop of a single raw material. Combined with four evenly distributed push plates and a motor drive, a single raw material can be pushed in each quarter-cycle rotation, avoiding manual intervention and significantly improving the feeding speed. This is suitable for mass production scenarios. However, the distance between the discharge notch and the side baffle is fixed, which is only applicable to heat-conducting pipes of a specific diameter. If the raw material specifications are changed, it is difficult to adapt and use, resulting in poor versatility. At the same time, the inside of the material box is a hollow prism. When the raw materials are stacked, friction or a shift in the center of gravity may form an "arch bridge," meaning that some raw materials are stuck in the corners, blocking the falling of raw materials, causing jamming and affecting continuous feeding. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a heat-conducting pipe processing feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a heat pipe processing and feeding device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A heat pipe processing and feeding device includes a base plate, a feeding plate fixedly installed on one side of the base plate, a lower guide plate fixedly installed inside the base plate, and a feeding assembly for feeding heat pipes of different diameters. The feeding assembly is disposed inside the base plate and includes a movable guide plate disposed inside the base plate. A fixing frame is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the base plate. A threaded tube is fixedly installed on one side of the movable guide plate, and a threaded post is threadedly connected to the inner circular wall of the threaded tube. A fixing hole is opened on one side of the fixing frame, and the fixing hole is movably sleeved with the threaded post. A geared motor is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame. One end of the drive shaft of the geared motor is fixedly installed to the threaded post. A second fixing groove is opened on each of the two sides inside the fixed frame. A movable plate is movably sleeved inside the second fixing groove. A support frame is fixedly installed between the two movable plates. A distance measuring plate and a fixing frame are fixedly installed on one side of the base plate and one side of the movable guide plate, respectively. A distance measuring sensor is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing frame. The distance measuring sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The bottom surface of the movable guide plate is parallel to the lower guide plate, and the side surface of the movable guide plate is parallel to one side of the inside of the base plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the moving guide plate, and the vibration motor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inner top surface of the feeding plate is provided with a first fixing groove, the movable guide plate rests on the inner bottom surface of the first fixing groove, and the top surface of the movable guide plate is provided with an inclined groove.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two reinforcing plates are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixing frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a bearing is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the fixing hole, and the bearing is fixedly sleeved with the threaded column.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inner bottom surface of the movable guide plate is provided with several weight-reducing grooves, and the outer circular wall surface of the threaded tube is fixedly installed with several reinforcing ribs, which are fixedly installed with the movable guide plate.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, side plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate, and the side plates are fixedly installed with the feeding plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By using the base plate, feeding plate, moving guide plate, support frame, fixing frame, threaded tube, and threaded column in coordination, the heat-conducting pipe can be fed. The distance between the base plate and the lower guide plate can be adjusted by moving the moving guide plate, which can accommodate heat-conducting pipes of different diameters. The distance sensor measures the distance for easy and quick adjustment. At the same time, the intermittent vibration of the vibration motor eliminates the friction when the raw materials are stacked, ensuring the smooth fall of the heat-conducting pipe and avoiding blockage, which is quite practical.

[0016] 2. The connection between the threaded tube and the moving guide plate is reinforced by the reinforcing ribs to ensure structural strength. The bottom of the moving guide plate is reduced by the weight-reducing groove. The fixed frame is reinforced and supported by the reinforcing plate. The sides of the feeding plate are shielded and reinforced by the side plates. The inclined groove allows the heat-conducting tube to roll smoothly on the top surface.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A heat pipe processing and feeding device includes: a base plate 1, a feeding plate 2 fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 1, a lower guide plate 21 fixedly installed inside the base plate 1, and a feeding assembly for feeding heat pipes of different diameters. The feeding assembly is disposed inside the base plate 1 and includes: a movable guide plate 3 disposed inside the base plate 1, a fixing frame 5 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the base plate 1, a threaded pipe 6 fixedly installed on one side of the movable guide plate 3, a threaded post 7 threadedly connected to the inner circular wall of the threaded pipe 6, and a fixing hole 19 opened on one side of the fixing frame 5, the fixing hole 19 being movably sleeved with the threaded post 7 for fixing. A geared motor 8 is fixedly installed inside the frame 5. One end of the drive shaft of the geared motor 8 is fixedly installed with the threaded post 7. A second fixing groove 23 is opened on both sides of the inside of the fixed frame 5. A movable plate 20 is movably sleeved inside the second fixing groove 23. A support frame 4 is fixedly installed between the two movable plates 20. A distance measuring plate 12 and a fixing frame 13 are fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 1 and one side of the movable guide plate 3, respectively. A distance measuring sensor 14 is fixedly sleeved inside the fixing frame 13. The distance measuring sensor 14 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The bottom surface of the movable guide plate 3 is parallel to the lower guide plate 21, and the side surface of the movable guide plate 3 is parallel to one side of the inside of the base plate 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a vibration motor 11 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the moving guide plate 3. The vibration motor 11 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. A first fixing groove 9 is opened on the inner top surface of the feeding plate 2. The moving guide plate 3 rests on the inner bottom surface of the first fixing groove 9. A sloping groove 10 is opened on the top surface of the moving guide plate 3. Two reinforcing plates 15 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixing frame 5. A bearing 17 is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the fixing hole 19. The bearing 17 is fixedly sleeved with the threaded column 7. Several weight-reducing grooves 18 are opened on the inner bottom surface of the moving guide plate 3. Several reinforcing ribs 22 are fixedly installed on the outer circular wall of the threaded tube 6. The reinforcing ribs 22 are fixedly installed with the moving guide plate 3. Side plates 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate 1. The side plates 16 are fixedly installed with the feeding plate 2.

[0028] In use, the connection between the threaded tube 6 and the moving guide plate 3 is reinforced by the reinforcing rib 22 to ensure structural strength. The bottom of the moving guide plate 3 is reduced by the weight-reducing groove 18. The fixing frame 5 is reinforced and supported by the reinforcing plate 15. The sides of the feeding plate 2 are shielded and reinforced by the side plate 16. The inclined groove 10 allows the heat-conducting tube to roll smoothly on the top surface. At the same time, the first fixing groove 9 makes the feeding plate 2 and the moving guide plate 3 staggered, providing the moving guide plate 3 with a moving distance. It should be noted that the internal tilt angle of the feeding plate 2 is the same as the moving angle of the moving guide plate 3.

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0030] When the user needs to use the base plate 1, but the gap between the base plate 1 and the moving guide plate 3 is too large and needs to be reduced so that the heat pipes can be arranged vertically and neatly, the geared motor 8 is activated to drive the threaded column 7 to rotate under the support of the fixed hole 19. The threaded column 7 and the threaded tube 6 are threadedly connected, so the threaded tube 6 pulls the moving guide plate 3 to move along a fixed trajectory under the support of the support frame 4 and the second fixed groove 23. The angle of the moving trajectory is half the angle between one side of the base plate 1 and the top surface of the lower guide plate 21. This makes the distance between the moving guide plate 3 and the base plate 1 equal to the distance between the moving guide plate 3 and the lower guide plate 21, so that the moving guide plate 3 moves slowly to the lower right. At the same time, the distance between the moving guide plate 3 and the base plate 1 is measured by the distance sensor 14 and displayed in real time by the PLC controller, so as to stop the geared motor 8 in time.

[0031] Furthermore, after being adjusted to the appropriate position, the geared motor 8 has a self-locking structure (using a geared motor 8 with a self-locking structure), so that the threaded column 7 will not rotate on its own. Then, the heat-conducting pipe is fed into the interior of the feeding plate 2 from the top surface of the feeding plate 2, and then falls onto the top surface of the moving guide plate 3 and rolls downward into the space between the base plate 1 and the moving guide plate 3. The vibration motor 11 is started at regular intervals to vibrate the moving guide plate 3. The friction force when the raw materials are stacked is eliminated by intermittent vibration to ensure smooth falling. The subsequent control of the heat-conducting pipe discharge is the same as in the reference document (prior art) and will not be repeated.

[0032] This achieves the combined effect of feeding heat pipes. The distance between the moving guide plate 3 and the base plate 1 and the lower guide plate 21 is adjusted by moving the moving guide plate 3. The distance can be adapted to heat pipes of different diameters. The distance is measured by the distance sensor 14, which allows for quick and easy adjustment. At the same time, the intermittent vibration of the vibration motor 11 eliminates the friction when the raw materials are stacked, ensuring that the heat pipes fall smoothly, which is quite practical.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
