Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball bearing feeding technology, specifically a ball bearing multi-specification feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-specification ball feeding mechanism is an automated or semi-automated equipment component specifically designed to process and feed balls of various specifications. A ball usually refers to a round object. The device takes the ball out of the hopper and sends it to the next process.

[0003] In the existing ball processing or assembly process, the feeding process usually relies on a simple gravity dropping method. Specifically, the traditional device usually includes a receiving box, which is directly connected to the conveying pipe. During the operation, balls of various sizes are placed in the receiving box and fall into the conveying pipe below by their own gravity, and then transported to the subsequent processing or assembly station.

[0004] However, traditional feeding methods have significant drawbacks. The large number of balls stacked in the receiving box can easily cause blockages. The mutual squeezing and irregular stacking of the balls can prevent some balls from falling into the conveying pipe normally, thus affecting the feeding efficiency and the smoothness of the production line. Therefore, a multi-specification ball feeding mechanism is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-specification ball feeding mechanism to solve the problem that when a large number of balls are stacked in the receiving box, blockage is likely to occur. The mutual squeezing and irregular stacking of the balls will cause some balls to fail to fall into the conveying pipe normally, thus affecting the feeding efficiency and the smoothness of the production line.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-specification ball feeding mechanism includes a storage box, a mounting column fixedly connected to the front end of the storage box, a feeding pipe fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the storage box, a feeding assembly installed on one side of the inside of the storage box, and a guide mechanism fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box to guide the feeding assembly; the feeding assembly includes an electric lifting platform, a support platform fixedly connected to the lifting end of the electric lifting platform, a slider fixedly connected to the front end of the support platform, damping shafts rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the support platform, the damping shafts extending to the rear end of the support platform, an adjusting gear fixedly connected to one end of the damping shaft, and a support mechanism fixedly connected to the middle of the damping shaft; the support mechanism includes a support base, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the support base, a guide tube fixedly connected to the front end of the support plate, mounting grooves on both sides of the guide tube, and an oil-absorbing cotton strip embedded inside the guide tube.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the two support plates are arranged symmetrically from left to right, and each support plate has three guide tubes on its front end face. The three guide tubes are arranged at equal intervals and are parallel to each other with respect to the support plates.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the following features are provided: an oil storage box is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the support plate; a connecting groove is provided in the middle of the support plate; an oil-absorbing cotton block is filled inside the connecting groove; one end of the oil-absorbing cotton block is attached to an oil-absorbing cotton strip; and the other end of the oil-absorbing cotton block extends into the interior of the oil storage box.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the guiding mechanism includes a guide post located in front of the feeding assembly. A guide groove is provided in the middle of the guide post, and several equidistant rubber blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide groove. The front end face of the rubber blocks is an arc-shaped structure.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the support platform is configured with an inclined structure, the position of the support platform and the position of the feeding pipe are on the same axis, and the support platform is slidably connected to the guide column.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the front end face of the slider is an arc-shaped structure, the slider is in contact with the rubber block, and the two adjusting gears are meshed together.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the material support plate is concave in shape, and the middle part of the material support plate is slidably connected to the telescopic end of the electric lifting platform.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, the feeding components, support mechanism, and guide mechanism effectively solve the problems of clogging and low efficiency in traditional ball bearing feeding methods. This multi-specification ball bearing feeding mechanism facilitates ball concentration through a concave support plate. The support platform combined with the rotatable support mechanism allows for flexible adjustment to accommodate balls of different diameters. The guide tube and oil-absorbing cotton strip provide guidance for the balls' descent and reduce friction, thus reducing the risk of clogging. The electric lifting platform and guide column ensure precise alignment with the feeding tube. At the same time, the vibration generated during the movement of the support platform makes the balls more tightly arranged and smoothly slide into the feeding tube, thereby further reducing the possibility of clogging and improving feeding efficiency and production line smoothness.

[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] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A multi-specification ball feeding mechanism includes a storage box 1. A mounting column 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the storage box 1, and a feeding pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column 2. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the storage box 1. The support plate 4 is concave in shape, and its middle part is slidably connected to the telescopic end of an electric lifting platform 51. A feeding assembly 5 is installed on one side inside the storage box 1, and a guide mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box 1 to provide guidance for the feeding assembly 5. The feeding assembly 5 includes an electric lifting platform 51. A support platform 52 is fixedly connected to the lifting end of the electric lifting platform 51, and a slider 53 is fixedly connected to the front end of the support platform 52. Both sides of the top of the support platform 52 are rotatably connected to... The damping shaft 54 ​​extends to the rear end of the support platform 52. One end of the damping shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to an adjusting gear 55, and the two adjusting gears 55 are meshed together for easy adjustment. The middle part of the damping shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to a support mechanism 56. The support mechanism 56 includes a support base 561, the top of which is fixedly connected to a support plate 562. The front end face of the support plate 562 is fixedly connected to a guide tube 563. Both sides of the guide tube 563 are provided with mounting grooves 564. An oil-absorbing cotton strip 565 is embedded inside the guide tube 563. The oil-absorbing cotton strip 565 has good adsorption properties. Since the ball is in contact with the oil-absorbing cotton strip 565, an oil film is formed on the surface of the ball.

[0031] As a further implementation of this scheme, the two support plates 562 are arranged symmetrically from left to right. Each support plate 562 has three guide tubes 563 on its front end face. The three guide tubes 563 are equidistant and parallel to each other with the support plate 562. This arrangement provides guidance for the downward movement of the ball.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, an oil storage box 566 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the support plate 562. A connecting groove 567 is opened in the middle of the support plate 562. An oil-absorbing cotton block 568 is filled inside the connecting groove 567. One end of the oil-absorbing cotton block 568 is attached to the oil-absorbing cotton strip 565, and the other end of the oil-absorbing cotton block 568 extends into the interior of the oil storage box 566. The oil storage box 566 is filled with sufficient lubricating oil. The lubricating fluid inside the oil storage box 566 can be transferred to the oil-absorbing cotton strip 565 through the oil-absorbing cotton block 568.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the guiding mechanism 6 includes a guide post 61, which is located in front of the feeding assembly 5. A guide groove 62 is provided in the middle of the guide post 61. Several rubber blocks 63 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide groove 62. The front end face of the rubber block 63 is an arc-shaped structure, which facilitates the contact and friction between the slider 53 and the rubber block 63.

[0034] As a further implementation of this scheme, the support platform 52 is set with an inclined structure. The position of the support platform 52 and the position of the feeding pipe 3 are on the same axis. The feeding end of the feeding pipe 3 is flush with the front end of the guide mechanism 6. This setting prevents the balls from detaching from the front end of the support platform 52 in advance. The support platform 52 is slidably connected to the guide column 61. The front end face of the slider 53 is an arc-shaped structure. The slider 53 is in contact with the rubber block 63. When moving, the slider 53 contacts and rubs against several rubber blocks 63 in the guide mechanism 6, causing the support platform 52 to vibrate. This vibration can make the balls arranged linearly above the support platform 52 more compact.

[0035] Workflow: The multi-specification ball feeding mechanism is powered by an external power source. The ball materials to be fed are filled onto the top of the support plate 4. The support plate 4 is concave in shape, which facilitates the concentration of the ball materials in the center of the support plate 4, making it easier for the subsequent feeding operation of the feeding component 5. In its natural state, the support platform 52 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the support plate 4, allowing the balls to automatically fill onto the support platform 52 under gravity and arrange themselves linearly. Rotatable support mechanisms 56, connected to damping shafts 54 on both sides of the top of the support platform 52, are used to support and limit the movement of the balls on both sides. The operator can flexibly adjust the opening angle of the two support mechanisms 56 according to the diameter of the ball materials. This is done by rotating the adjusting gear 55 at the rear end of the support platform 52. Because the two corresponding adjusting gears 55 are meshed, the two damping shafts 54 rotate in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the angle of the support mechanism 56. To reduce friction between the balls and the support mechanism 56, a guide tube 563 is provided on the front end face of each support plate 562. The guide tube 563 is parallel to the support plate 562, providing guidance for the downward movement of the ball. The guide tube 563 has an installation groove 564 for easy installation of an oil-absorbing cotton strip 565. The oil-absorbing cotton strip 565 has good absorbency, and the lubricant inside the oil reservoir 566 can be transferred to the oil-absorbing cotton strip 565 through the oil-absorbing cotton block 568. Because the ball is in contact with the oil-absorbing cotton strip 565, an oil film forms on the surface of the ball, reducing the friction between the ball and the contacting object, thereby reducing the risk of ball blockage. Then, the lifting end of the electric lifting platform 51 drives the ball above the support platform 52 to rise synchronously. While the height of the support platform 52 is adjusted, the guide column 61 provides guidance, allowing it to be accurately aligned with the feed end of the feeding pipe 3. At the same time, when the support platform 52 moves, the slider 53 contacts and rubs against several rubber blocks 63 in the guide mechanism 6, causing the support platform 52 to vibrate. This vibration makes the linearly arranged beads on the support platform 52 more compact. The support platform 52 is set with an inclined structure. When the support platform 52 is aligned with the feed end of the feeding pipe 3, the support platform 52 stops moving. The linearly arranged beads can smoothly slide into the feed end of the feeding pipe 3 under the action of gravity, further reducing the risk of blockage. This cycle is repeated for feeding operations.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
