Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire manufacturing technology, and in particular to a material feeding basket for a small material feeder. Background Technology
[0002] In the rubber tire industry, some workstations still use semi-automatic intelligent batching machines for batching. During the batching process, because a single machine often needs to produce various different formulas in batches, the final batch weights vary considerably.
[0003] The traditional material baskets were designed for maximum weight. During the production process, regardless of the weight of the materials, the largest plastic bags had to be used, which increased costs and caused huge waste in the long run.
[0004] When weighing a large amount of formula, requiring full weighing of the basket, the large height difference between the feed inlet of the small feeder and the bottom of the basket can easily cause dust to fly around, resulting in poor dust removal, environmental pollution, and health risks.
[0005] In order to save on plastic packaging bags, some material baskets have added height-adjustable base plates. This method requires frequent disassembly, adjustment and fixing by manual labor according to the formula weight specifications, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technology and provide a material basket for a small material feeder.
[0007] Therefore, this utility model provides a material feeding basket for a small material feeder, including a basket body and a bottom plate. The bottom plate is disposed in the basket body. The basket body includes side plates and a door. The side plates have a U-shaped structure, and the door is hinged to the front end of the side plates. Each side plate has a vertical sliding groove, and the top of the sliding groove is located at the upper part of the basket body. Multiple sliding rods are fixedly installed on the bottom plate. The sliding rods are slidably connected to the corresponding sliding grooves. An adjustment device is connected to the sliding rods, and the adjustment device is used to automatically adjust the height of the bottom plate.
[0008] Preferably, the adjusting device includes a spring, a mounting sleeve, a bolt, and a nut. The mounting sleeve is fixedly installed on the outside of the side plate. The spring is arranged vertically, with its top connected to the bolt. The bolt passes through the top of the mounting sleeve and is fixed by the nut. The bottom of the spring is connected to the slide rod.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the top of the bolt, a limiting groove is formed on the slide rod, and the two ends of the spring hook the fixing ring and the limiting groove respectively.
[0010] Preferably, a vertical positioning rod is fixedly installed on the slide rod, and the top end of the positioning rod extends through the inner ring of the spring into the mounting sleeve.
[0011] Preferably, the adjusting device includes a pulley, a counterweight, and a pull rope. The pulley is rotatably mounted on the outside of the side plate, one end of the pull rope is connected to the slide bar, and the other end passes around the pulley and is connected to the counterweight.
[0012] Preferably, a guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the side plate below the pulley, and the pull rope passes through the pulley and the guide wheel in sequence and is fixedly connected to the counterweight.
[0013] Preferably, the plurality of the slide bars are arranged in a triangular shape.
[0014] Preferably, a support rod for opening the packaging bag is fixedly installed on the top of the basket.
[0015] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed on the bottom upper surface of the basket.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a material basket for a small material feeder, which has the following beneficial effects.
[0017] An adjustment device is installed on the side plate of the material basket. The appropriate size of the packaging bag is selected according to the weight of the material and placed on the support rod at the top of the material basket. During production, as the weight increases, the spring or counterweight is affected by the weight of the material, causing the slide bar to move downward along the slide groove, thereby driving the entire base plate to move vertically downward. There is no need for workers to adjust the height of the base plate every time, which saves time and effort, improves production efficiency, and saves production costs.
[0018] Because the top of the chute is located above the material basket, the height difference between the material feeder's discharge port and the bottom plate is reduced, preventing dust from flying, polluting the environment, and affecting health.
[0019] The two ends of the spring are hooked onto the retaining ring and the limiting groove, respectively. This serves two purposes: first, it prevents the spring from detaching from the slide rod and the mounting sleeve; second, it enables a detachable connection between the spring and the mounting sleeve. If the spring is damaged and cannot maintain balance, the damaged spring can be quickly removed and replaced without replacing the entire mounting sleeve and spring, thus saving costs and improving the efficiency of spring replacement.
[0020] The positioning rods provide good guidance and limiting effects, preventing issues such as uneven load on the base plate and frame jamming. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a material dispensing basket for a small material feeder, including a basket body 1 and a base plate 2. The basket body 1 is a cuboid structure with an open top. The base plate 2 is disposed inside the basket body 1. The basket body 1 includes side plates 11, a door 12, and a base 19. The side plates 11 have a U-shaped structure and are fixedly installed on the base 19. The base plate 2 is arranged parallel to the base 19. The front end of the side plates 11 is hinged to the door 12, which facilitates opening the door 12 to remove the packaging bag after the material is loaded. Each side plate 11... Vertical grooves 3 are provided in the middle of the basket 1. The top of the grooves 3 is located at the top of the basket 1. Multiple sliding rods 4 are fixedly installed on the bottom plate 2. The sliding rods 4 are threaded or snap-fit connected to the side of the bottom plate 2. Once the bottom plate 2 is deformed, the sliding rods 4 can be quickly removed, so that the bottom plate 2 can be quickly disassembled from the basket 1 for replacement. The sliding rods 4 are slidably connected to the corresponding grooves 3. An adjustment device is connected to the sliding rods 4. The adjustment device is used to automatically adjust the height of the bottom plate 2.
[0031] The top of the chute 3 is located at the top of the material basket, which reduces the height difference between the material feeder's discharge port and the base plate 2, preventing dust from flying, polluting the environment, and affecting health.
[0032] Furthermore, the adjusting device includes a spring 5, a mounting sleeve 6, a bolt 7, and a nut 8. The mounting sleeve 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the side plate 11. The spring 5 is arranged vertically. The top of the spring 5 is connected to the bolt 7. The bolt 7 passes through the top of the mounting sleeve 6 and is fixed by the nut 8. The bottom of the spring 5 is connected to the slide rod 4.
[0033] Furthermore, a fixing ring 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the bolt 7, a limiting groove 10 is opened on the slide rod 4, and the two ends of the spring 5 hook the fixing ring 9 and the limiting groove 10 respectively.
[0034] The two ends of the spring 5 are hooked onto the fixing ring 9 and the limiting groove 10, respectively. This serves two purposes: first, it prevents the spring 5 from detaching from the slide rod 4 and the mounting sleeve 6; second, it enables a detachable connection between the spring 5 and the mounting sleeve 6. If the spring 5 is damaged and cannot maintain balance, the damaged spring 5 can be quickly removed and replaced without replacing the entire mounting sleeve 6 and the spring 5, thus saving costs and improving the efficiency of spring replacement.
[0035] Furthermore, a vertical positioning rod 13 is fixedly installed on the slide rod 4. In the initial state, the top end of the positioning rod 13 extends through the inner ring of the spring 5 into the mounting sleeve 6.
[0036] The positioning rod 13 can provide good guidance and limiting effect, preventing the base plate 2 from being overloaded or stuck.
[0037] Furthermore, the multiple sliding rods 4 are arranged in a triangular shape to enhance the stability of the vertical movement of the base plate 2.
[0038] Furthermore, a support rod 18 for opening the packaging bag is fixedly installed on the top of the basket 1, which facilitates the installation of the packaging bag.
[0039] Furthermore, a rubber pad is installed on the upper bottom surface of the basket 1. The rubber pad can reduce the impact force generated when the bottom plate 2, which bears a large weight of material, falls rapidly, protecting the basket 1 and the bottom plate 2, and reducing noise.
[0040] The working principle is as follows:
[0041] Select a suitable packaging bag based on the weight of the ingredients and place it on the support rod 18 at the top of the basket 1. When empty, the spring 5 retracts, and the bottom plate 2 is located on the upper part of the basket 1. During production, as various materials are continuously weighed, the weight increases, and the spring 5 is linearly stretched due to gravity, causing the slide rod 4 to move downward along the slide groove 3, which in turn moves the entire bottom plate 2 downward.
[0042] After all the ingredients are loaded, the base plate 2 stops descending. Open the door 12 and take out the packaging bag containing the ingredients. After being taken out, the base plate 2 quickly returns to its original position under the pull of the spring 5, preparing for the next loading.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a material basket for a small material feeder. The adjusting device includes a pulley 14, a counterweight 15, and a pull rope 16. The pulley 14 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the side plate 11 via a fixed plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the side plate 11. The pulley 14 is rotatably mounted between two fixed plates. One end of the pull rope 16 is connected to the slide rod 4, and the other end passes around the pulley 14 and is connected to the counterweight 15.
[0045] Furthermore, a guide wheel 17 is rotatably mounted on the side plate 11 below the pulley 14. The pull rope 16 passes through the pulley 14 and the guide wheel 17 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the counterweight 15, which extends the movement path of the counterweight 15, prevents the counterweight 15 from falling or rising rapidly under its own weight or the weight of the feed, reduces its running speed, reduces inertial impact, and enhances the stability of the base plate 2 movement.
[0046] In this embodiment, there are two pulleys 14, both of which are rotatably connected to the fixed plate. The two pulleys 14 are arranged one in front of the other. The slide rod 4 is located directly below the rear pulley 14. The pull rope 16 between the rear pulley 14 and the slide rod 4 is always perpendicular. The guide wheel 17 is located directly below the front pulley 14, which extends the lateral movement distance of the pull rope 16 and prevents the pull rope 16 from colliding with the slide rod 4 after passing the guide wheel 17, thus ensuring the smooth adjustment of the base plate 2.
