Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workshop conveyor technology, and in particular to a material feeding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of overlapping cup feeding technology, existing methods typically employ a design where an entire box of cups is poured onto a single chute, relying on the cups' own weight to slide down to a pre-set station. This traditional model has the following drawbacks: the single feeding station limits production efficiency to linear assembly line operations, making it difficult to adapt to the demands of modern production lines for multi-station parallel processing. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a material dispensing machine, comprising:
[0004] The slide has an inclined bottom surface and at least one discharge port is provided on the bottom surface of the slide. The width of the bottom surface of the slide matches the overlapping height of the overlapping cups. The lowest end of the slide is the discharge port and the highest end is the inlet.
[0005] A baffle is integrally installed at the material discharge port, the size of which matches the material discharge port, and the baffle is rotatably connected to the slide rail;
[0006] The second power unit drives the baffle to rotate, so as to open or close the material discharge port. When the material discharge port is closed, the surface of the baffle is flush with the bottom surface of the slide.
[0007] This invention achieves multi-station alternating feeding by setting multiple feeding ports on the bottom surface of the slide and using a second power device to drive the baffle to rotate and open and close the feeding ports, thereby improving production efficiency and meeting the parallel processing needs of modern production lines. The design of the baffle surface being flush with the bottom surface of the slide allows the cup material to slide smoothly within the slide.
[0008] Furthermore, the material feeding machine also includes a blocking mechanism, which is integrally set on the cup inlet side of the discharge port and the discharge port of the slide, and blocks or releases overlapping cups through the blocking mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, the material stopping mechanism includes:
[0010] First power unit;
[0011] The lever is raised and lowered by a first power device to block or release the overlapping cups.
[0012] The first power unit drives the baffle to rise and fall, which can control the flow of the cup material in the slide and dynamically adjust the material passing speed according to the production rhythm.
[0013] Furthermore, the material-stopping mechanism also includes:
[0014] A fixing part is fixed to the outside of the slide rail, and the first power device is movably mounted on the fixing part;
[0015] The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the fixed part in the middle. The connecting rod is driven to rotate relative to the fixed part by the first power device. There are two sets of stop rods, and the ends of the two sets of stop rods are fixedly connected to the two ends of the connecting rod.
[0016] By setting two sets of stop levers on both sides of the connection between the connecting rod and the fixed part, when one set of stop levers rises, the other set of stop levers falls, thereby realizing the alternating lifting and lowering action of the two sets of stop levers to form uninterrupted material flow control.
[0017] Furthermore, the fixing part has an oblong hole, and the fixing part and the slide are relatively fixed by a connector passing through the oblong hole and the slide side wall.
[0018] By loosening the connecting parts, the range of the fixed waist-shaped hole can be formed by linear movement in the extension direction of the fixed waist-shaped hole, thereby achieving height adjustment of the entire material blocking mechanism.
[0019] Furthermore, the feeding machine also includes a feeding platform, which is horizontally positioned and its upper surface is connected to the side with the highest height of the bottom surface of the slide.
[0020] This horizontal platform structure provides operators with a stable working surface and can provide some support for the packaging boxes containing paper cups.
[0021] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0022] This invention achieves multi-station alternating feeding by setting multiple feeding ports on the bottom surface of the slide and using a second power device to drive the baffle to rotate and open and close the feeding ports, thereby improving production efficiency and meeting the parallel processing needs of modern production lines. The design of the baffle surface being flush with the bottom surface of the slide allows the cup material to slide smoothly within the slide. Attached Figure Description

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0027] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0028] As described in the background section, a single delivery station limits production efficiency to linear assembly line operations, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of modern production lines for multi-station parallel processing.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a material dispensing machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the dispensing machine includes:
[0031] Slide 3, the slide has an inclined bottom surface, and at least one material outlet is provided on the bottom surface of the slide. The width of the bottom surface of the slide matches the overlapping height of the overlapping cups. The lowest end of the slide is the discharge outlet and the highest end is the inlet.
[0032] Baffle 5 is integrally installed at the material discharge port. The size of the baffle matches the material discharge port, and the baffle is rotatably connected to the slide rail.
[0033] The second power device 8 drives the baffle to rotate, so as to open or close the material discharge port. When the material discharge port is closed, the surface of the baffle is flush with the bottom surface of the slide.
[0034] This embodiment achieves multi-station alternating feeding by setting multiple material discharge ports on the bottom surface of the slide and using a second power device to drive the baffle to rotate and open and close the discharge ports, thereby improving production efficiency and meeting the parallel processing requirements of modern production lines. The design of the baffle surface being flush with the bottom surface of the slide allows the cup material to slide smoothly within the slide.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the material feeding machine also includes a blocking mechanism 4, which is integrally set on the cup inlet side of the discharge port and the discharge port of the slide. The blocking mechanism blocks or releases overlapping cups.
[0036] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the material blocking mechanism includes:
[0037] First power unit 42;
[0038] The stop lever 41 is driven to rise and fall by the first power device to block or release the overlapping cups.
[0039] The first power unit drives the baffle to rise and fall, which can control the flow of the cup material in the slide and dynamically adjust the material passing speed according to the production rhythm.
[0040] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the material blocking mechanism further includes:
[0041] Fixing part 44, the fixing part is fixed to the outside of the slide rail, and the first power device is movably mounted on the fixing part;
[0042] The connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to the fixed part in the middle. The connecting rod is driven to rotate relative to the fixed part by the first power device. There are two sets of stop rods, and the ends of the two sets of stop rods are fixedly connected to the two ends of the connecting rod.
[0043] By setting two sets of stop levers on both sides of the connection between the connecting rod and the fixed part, when one set of stop levers rises, the other set of stop levers falls, thereby realizing the alternating lifting and lowering action of the two sets of stop levers to form uninterrupted material flow control.
[0044] For example, the fixing part has a waist-shaped hole 44A, and the fixing part and the slide are relatively fixed by a connector passing through the waist-shaped hole and the slide side wall.
[0045] By loosening the connecting parts, the range of the fixed waist-shaped hole can be formed by linear movement in the extension direction of the fixed waist-shaped hole, thereby achieving height adjustment of the entire material blocking mechanism.
[0046] For example, the feeding machine also includes a feeding platform 2, which is horizontally arranged and its upper surface is connected to the side with the highest height of the bottom surface of the slide.
[0047] This horizontal platform structure provides a stable working surface for operators and can provide some support for the packaging box 1 containing paper cups.
[0048] Specifically, in use, this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1As shown, a stack of cups 7 is taken out from the feeding platform and poured into the slide. The stack of cups rolls down the bottom surface of the slide under its own weight. Before entering the first discharge port, the height of the front stop bar of the material blocking mechanism in front of the first discharge port or the discharge port is higher than the height of the rear stop bar (the set of stops near the discharge port or the discharge port is the front stop bar, and the other set is the rear stop bar). At this time, the front stop bar blocks the cups, while the rear stop bar cannot block the cups because it is higher than the cups. When the first power device drives the connecting rod to rotate, the front stop bar rises and the rear stop bar falls to intercept the set of cups near the discharge port or the discharge port and the cups behind them. At this time, the cups near the discharge port or the discharge port are released and continue to roll along the bottom surface of the slide, while the cups behind them are blocked by the rear stop bar. If the second power device drives the baffle to rotate at this time to open the discharge port, the cups fall from the discharge port, completing the feeding of the first station. If the discharge port is closed at this time, the cup will roll to the front of the next discharge port and repeat the above discharge process. When the cup rolls to the front of the outlet, the working process of the baffle mechanism is the same as that of the multiple baffle mechanisms in front. When the front baffle rises, the cup rolls directly out of the outlet from the slide.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first power unit and the second power unit include, but are not limited to, cylinders, electric cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or other devices or structures capable of providing power for the movement of the baffle and connecting rod. Bolts may be selected as the connecting member. Furthermore, the feeding machine may also include a frame 6, on which the slide and the feeding platform are both mounted.
[0050] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
