Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel watch strap processing technology, specifically relating to an automatic feeding device for steel watch strap processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel watch band processing industry, automatic feeding devices are one of the key pieces of equipment for achieving high-efficiency production. However, existing feeding devices for steel watch band processing generally suffer from insufficient adaptability to the orientation of the feeding end of the processing equipment. Traditional feeding devices mostly have fixed conveyor tracks, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the feeding direction of different processing equipment. This leads to frequent manual reinstallation and adjustment of the material rails when dealing with various models or layouts of steel watch band processing equipment, reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, existing vibratory feeding discs and discharge rails often use a rigid connection, which can easily cause material conveying jams or even blockages when the feeding direction needs to be changed, affecting the smoothness of feeding. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for processing steel watch straps, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for processing steel watch straps, comprising:
[0005] A fixed base plate is provided, and a position adjustment seat is provided on one side of the fixed base plate for changing the feeding and conveying direction of the steel strip workpiece. The upper limit of the position adjustment seat is provided with a docking position discharge rail. One end of the docking position discharge rail is connected to a vibrating feeding plate that uses vibration to adjust the forward direction and sequence of the steel strip parts through a rubber deformation feeding rail.
[0006] The other side of the fixed base plate is rotatably provided with a track support plate for adjusting the material rail of the feed end of the steel watch strap processing equipment in different directions. The upper surface of the track support plate is slidably provided with a material rail clamp plate with an L-shaped structure that clamps and fixes the material rail in different directions.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the rubber deformable feeding rail is fixed to one end of the discharge rail at the docking position. The rubber deformable feeding rail is made of neoprene rubber, and the other end of the rubber deformable feeding rail is connected to the discharge of the vibrating feeding plate. This allows the discharge rail at the docking position to adjust its position and change the conveying direction accordingly. When the position adjustment seat changes the conveying direction, the conveying angle can be adjusted accordingly, avoiding material jamming or blockage caused by traditional rigid connections.
[0008] Preferably, the orientation adjustment seat is provided with a rotating shaft at the bottom, and a bearing seat is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft. The bearing seat is provided with positioning lock grooves evenly distributed around its outer circumference and on the upper surface of the fixed base plate, so as to realize the orientation adjustment seat can rotate freely 360°. The positioning lock grooves provide multiple levels of precise positioning.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the rotating shaft is fixed with an orientation adjustment lock disc, and one side of the orientation adjustment lock disc is movably provided with a positioning lock block with a locking bolt. The locking bolt is locked in the positioning lock groove, which can be quickly locked after adjustment to the target orientation to avoid orientation deviation caused by vibration and other factors, and ensure stable and reliable feeding direction.
[0010] Preferably, a strip-shaped locking groove is provided on one side of the end of the track support plate, and a strip-shaped through groove is provided on the inner side wall of the strip-shaped locking groove. One end of the material rail clamp slides in the strip-shaped through groove to adapt to the external material rail access requirements at different angles. This changes the positional limitations of the traditional fixed clamping structure and enables rapid docking with multi-directional feeding equipment.
[0011] Preferably, the side of the material rail clamp that slides in the strip groove is provided with a threaded locking rod that extends to the outside of the material rail clamp and is locked by screws. After sliding and adjusting to the target position, tightening the screws can fix the material rail clamp to the strip groove through the threaded locking rod, which is simple to operate and firmly clamped.
[0012] Preferably, a servo control motor is provided on one side of the fixed base plate, and the top of the servo control motor shaft is connected to the bottom center of the orientation adjustment seat. A control box with a built-in PLC controller is provided in the middle of the fixed base plate. The servo motor drives the orientation adjustment seat to rotate automatically, and the PLC controller can preset or adjust the conveying direction in real time, replacing manual adjustment.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This automatic feeding device for steel watch strap processing...
[0014] Automatic steering is achieved by using an orientation adjustment seat in conjunction with a servo control motor. Combined with a flexible, deformable feeding rail made of neoprene rubber, the feeding angle can be adjusted dynamically when the conveying direction changes. This not only breaks through the orientation limitations of traditional fixed rails but also avoids material blockage caused by rigid connections. The device can quickly adapt to the feeding end of processing equipment with different layouts, ensuring a continuous and stable feeding process.
[0015] The flexible clamping and sliding adjustment structure enables rapid docking of multi-directional material rails. The sliding clamping design of the track support plate and the L-shaped material rail clamping plate, through the cooperation of the strip groove and the threaded locking rod, can adjust laterally and quickly lock the external material rails at different angles. This changes the positional limitations of the traditional fixed clamping structure, significantly improves the compatibility with processing equipment of multiple models and layouts, greatly reduces manual debugging time, and improves the efficiency of production line switching.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for processing steel watch straps, comprising:
[0024] The fixed base plate 1 is made of high-strength steel in one piece, and the bottom surface is equipped with anti-slip and shock-absorbing pads to ensure the stability of the equipment during operation. The fixed base plate 1 has a directional adjustment seat 2 at one end for changing the feeding and conveying direction of the steel strip workpiece. The upper limit of the directional adjustment seat 2 is equipped with a docking directional discharge rail 3. One end of the docking directional discharge rail 3 is connected to a vibrating feeding plate 5 through a rubber deformation feeding rail 4, which uses vibration to adjust the forward direction and sequence of the steel strip parts. The vibrating feeding plate 5 cooperates with the vibrating motor through an internal spiral track to organize the messy steel strip parts into a uniform direction.
[0025] The other side of the fixed base plate 1 is rotatably provided with a track support plate 6 for adjusting the material rail of the feed end of the steel watch strap processing equipment in different directions. The upper surface of the track support plate 6 is slidably provided with a material rail clamping plate 7, which has an L-shaped structure and clamps and fixes the material rail in different directions.
[0026] One end of the rubber deformable feeding rail 4 is fixed to one end of the docking orientation discharge rail 3. The rubber deformable feeding rail 4 is made of neoprene rubber, which has both high tensile strength, elongation at break ≥300% and oil resistance. Its two ends are respectively fastened to the docking orientation discharge rail 3 and the discharge port of the vibrating feeding plate 5 by metal clamps. The other end of the rubber deformable feeding rail 4 is connected to the discharge of the vibrating feeding plate 5, so that the orientation of the docking orientation discharge rail 3 changes with the change of material conveying direction during the orientation adjustment. It can undergo flexible deformation synchronously when the orientation adjustment seat 2 rotates, ensuring that the material conveying path transitions smoothly with the orientation change and avoiding the jamming phenomenon caused by traditional rigid connection.
[0027] The bottom of the orientation adjustment seat 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 8, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a bearing seat 9. The bearing seat 9 is embedded with a high-precision deep groove ball bearing, which can realize 360° rotation of the orientation adjustment seat 2 without dead angle. The outer circumference of the bearing seat 9 and the upper end face of the fixed base plate 1 are evenly provided with positioning locking grooves 10. Each set of locking grooves is arranged in a ring at 60° intervals, providing a multi-level precise positioning reference for orientation adjustment.
[0028] A position adjustment locking disc 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 8. The diameter of the locking disc matches the outer diameter of the bearing seat 9. Locking holes corresponding to the positioning locking groove 10 are evenly distributed on the edge of the disc. When the position adjustment seat 2 rotates to the target angle, the bolts can be tightened to achieve rigid locking through the locking block and the locking groove, effectively resisting the high-frequency vibration interference when the vibrating feeding disc 5 is working, ensuring that the conveying direction is stable and without deviation. A positioning locking block 12 with a locking bolt is movably installed on one side of the position adjustment locking disc 11. The locking bolt is locked in the positioning locking groove 10.
[0029] A strip-shaped locking groove 13 is provided on one side of the end of the track support plate 6, and a strip-shaped through groove 14 is provided through one side wall of the inner side wall of the strip-shaped locking groove 13. One end of the material rail clamp 7 slides in the strip-shaped through groove 14.
[0030] The side of the material rail clamp 7 that slides in the strip groove 14 is provided with a threaded locking rod 15 that extends to the outside of the material rail clamp 7 and is locked with screws. By sliding and adjusting the material rail clamp 7, the feed rail of the external processing equipment is inserted into the vertical arm of the L-shaped clamp. Tightening the threaded locking rod 15 achieves a rigid connection, forming a continuous material conveying channel.
[0031] A servo control motor 16 is provided on one side of the fixed base plate 1. Its output shaft is rigidly connected to the bottom center of the orientation adjustment seat 2 through a coupling. The motor is equipped with an absolute encoder with an accuracy of ±0.1°, which can realize high-precision closed-loop control of orientation adjustment. The top of the rotating shaft of the servo control motor 16 is connected to the bottom center of the orientation adjustment seat 2. A control box 17 with a built-in PLC controller is provided in the middle of the fixed base plate 1. The control box 17 has a built-in PLC controller and integrates a human-machine interface. It supports manual angle input, preset program calling and real-time status monitoring functions. Operators can complete the automatic adjustment of the conveying direction with one click through the touch screen, which significantly reduces the frequency of manual intervention.
[0032] The PLC controller drives the servo motor 16 to rotate the orientation adjustment seat 2 according to the orientation of the feed end of the processing equipment. The rubber deformation feeding rail 4 bends accordingly, and the positioning lock block 12 is embedded into the corresponding positioning lock groove 10 to complete the angle locking.
[0033] Specifically, in use, the disorganized steel watchband components are placed in the vibrating feeding tray 5. Under the action of the vibrating motor, the internal spiral track causes the components to move along the track and automatically adjust their posture, ultimately aligning them in a uniform direction at the discharge port. Afterward, the components enter the docking-position discharge rail 3 via the rubber deformation feeding rail 4. Because the rubber deformation feeding rail 4 is made of neoprene rubber with an elongation at break of ≥300%, its two ends are firmly connected to the discharge port of the vibrating feeding tray 5 and the docking-position discharge rail 3 via metal clamps. It can bend synchronously when the orientation adjustment seat 2 rotates, ensuring the continuity of material conveying.
[0034] When adapting to different feeding positions of processing equipment, the PLC controller in the control box 17 drives the servo motor 16 to operate according to a preset program or manually input instructions. The output shaft of the servo motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 8 at the bottom of the orientation adjustment seat 2 to rotate via a coupling. The orientation adjustment seat 2 rotates 360° around the high-precision deep groove ball bearing in the bearing seat 9. The positioning locking grooves 10 evenly distributed on the fixed base plate 1 on the outside of the bearing seat 9 are spaced 60° apart, providing a precise positioning reference for orientation adjustment. When the orientation adjustment seat 2 rotates to the target angle, the locking hole on the edge of the orientation adjustment locking disc 11 aligns with the positioning locking groove 10, pushing the positioning locking block 12 to make the locking bolt embed into the locking groove, achieving rigid locking, effectively resisting the high-frequency vibration of the vibrating feeding disc 5 during operation, and ensuring stable material conveying along the docking orientation discharge rail 3.
[0035] The track support plate 6 at the other end of the fixed base plate 1 can rotate within ±90° of the horizontal plane via the bottom swivel support seat to adapt to the spatial layout of the feeding end of different processing equipment. A strip-shaped through groove 14 is provided in the strip-shaped locking groove 13 on the upper surface of the track support plate 6, and the horizontal arm of the material rail clamp 7 can slide within the through groove. The operator rotates the butterfly handwheel of the threaded locking rod 15 to drive the material rail clamp 7 to move laterally, locking the external processing equipment's feeding rail into its vertical arm (with an anti-slip rubber pad on the inside). Tightening the handwheel, the threaded locking rod 15 and the locking groove work together to achieve rigid fixation, quickly establishing a material conveying channel from the discharge rail 3 at the docking position to the processing equipment.
[0036] The control box 17 integrates a PLC controller with a human-machine interface, offering both manual and automatic operating modes. In manual mode, the operator inputs the target angle on the touchscreen, and the PLC controller sends a command to the servo motor 16, driving the orientation adjustment seat 2 to rotate and controlling the positioning lock block 12 to lock. In automatic mode, the PLC controller automatically calls the corresponding program according to the work order based on multiple preset sets of processing equipment orientation parameters, while simultaneously controlling the start and stop of the vibrating feeder 5, the direction of the servo motor 16, and the position of the material rail clamp 7. Furthermore, the encoder of the servo motor 16 provides real-time feedback on the angle data of the orientation adjustment seat 2, and the PLC controller compares this with preset values for error compensation, ensuring an adjustment accuracy of ±0.1°. It also monitors the vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder 5, the deformation state of the rubber deformation feeder 4, and the locking pressure of the material rail clamp 7, ensuring stable operation of the entire feeding process.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
