Description

A feeding device for a pin tumbler lock cylinder and lock body processing equipment Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding technology for pin tumbler lock cylinder and lock body processing, specifically a feeding device for pin tumbler lock cylinder and lock body processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In pin tumbler lock cylinder processing equipment, "feeding" refers to the orderly transport of the pin tumbler lock cylinders to be processed from the storage or collection device to a specific position on the processing equipment for subsequent processing operations. This process is a key link in the lock body processing production line, directly affecting processing efficiency, product quality, and equipment operation stability. The design of the feeding device needs to take into account the shape and size of the lock body and the operating rhythm of the processing equipment to ensure that the lock body can enter the processing area in a suitable posture, speed, and sequence.

[0003] Due to the complex structure of the pin tumbler lock cylinder, if the feeding speed of the pin tumbler lock cylinder cannot be precisely controlled according to the processing requirements, it will lead to a mismatch between the feeding speed and the operating rhythm of the processing equipment. When the feeding speed is too fast, the lock body may accumulate at the processing position, causing the equipment to jam or even be damaged. This will not only interrupt the production process, but may also cause scratches or deformation on the surface of the lock body, affecting the appearance and quality of the product. When the feeding speed is too slow, the idle time of the processing equipment increases, the equipment utilization rate decreases significantly, and it is difficult to improve production efficiency, affecting processing quality and efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a feeding device for a pin tumbler lock cylinder and lock body processing equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] This utility model provides a feeding device for a pin tumbler lock cylinder body processing equipment, as shown in Figures 1-5. The technical solution includes a housing 1, a receiving tube 2 on the top of the housing 1, a conveying groove 9 on the top of the housing 1, a conveying frame 12 slidably connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1, a through groove 16 on one side of the housing 1, a moving plate 14 that passes through the through groove 16 fixedly connected to one side of the conveying frame 12, a rack 17 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the moving plate 14, a rotating rod 19 on the top of the rack 17, a gear 13 sleeved on the outer ring of the rotating rod 19, a discharge port 23 on the bottom of the housing 1, and a conveying slide plate 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0030] Mounting plates 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the storage tube 2. The top of the mounting plates 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 1 by several bolts. The mounting plates 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the storage tube 2 and the top of the mounting plates 8 fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 1 by several bolts enable the storage tube 2 to be stably installed on the outer shell 1. The bolt connection not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the storage tube 2, and makes it easy to maintain and replace, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure.

[0031] Both sides of the conveyor frame 12 are fixedly connected to sliders 18. The inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove 15 that matches the sliders 18. The cooperation between the sliders 18 and the sliding groove 15 allows the conveyor frame 12 to slide smoothly in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, effectively preventing the conveyor frame 12 from deviating or getting stuck during movement. This ensures that the conveyor frame 12 can accurately convey the pin tumbler lock cylinder to the designated position, improving the accuracy and reliability of feeding.

[0032] A limiting groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the through groove 16. A limiting block 22 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 21. The top of the limiting block 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate 14. The cooperation between the limiting groove 21 and the limiting block 22 plays a limiting role in the movement of the moving plate 14, making the moving plate 14 more stable when it drives the conveying frame 12 to move, avoiding the deviation of the moving plate 14 when it moves, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the conveying frame 12.

[0033] A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer casing 1, and a fixed base 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 4. A motor 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed base 5. The support plate 4 and the fixed base 5 provide a stable mounting foundation for the motor 20.

[0034] One end of the rotating rod 19 is rotatably connected to one side of the adjacent outer shell 1 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating rod 19 passes through one side of the adjacent fixed base 5 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 20. The fixed connection of the output shaft of the motor 20 ensures the stability of the rotational power transmission of the rotating rod 19, so that the gear 13 can accurately drive the rack 17 to move, thereby realizing the precise displacement of the conveying frame 12.

[0035] The bottom of the conveying slide plate 6 is provided with a feed inlet 7. The discharge outlet 23, the feed inlet 7 and the inner diameter of the conveying frame 12 are all matched to ensure that the pin tumbler lock cylinder can fall smoothly from the conveying frame 12 through the discharge outlet 23 into the inner cavity of the conveying slide plate 6, and enter the processing equipment through the feed inlet 7. The size matching reduces the jamming and accumulation of the lock body during the conveying process, improves the smoothness of feeding and ensures the smooth progress of production.

[0036] The gear 13 and the rack 17 mesh with each other through a toothed engagement. The top of the storage tube 2 is fixedly connected to a collection cover 3, which facilitates the collection and placement of the pin tumbler lock cylinder and lock body.

[0037] The inner cavity of the conveying slide plate 6 is set as an inclined plate. One side of the conveying slide plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjacent support plate 4. The inclined plate design allows the pin tumbler lock cylinder to slide smoothly to the feed port 7 of the processing equipment with the help of gravity, reducing the need for additional power and improving the efficiency and stability of feeding. The fixed connection between the conveying slide plate 6 and the support plate 4 enhances the structural stability of the entire device.

[0038] Both sides of the support plate 4 are fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 10, and the bottom of the reinforcing plate 10 is fixedly connected to two supporting legs 11. The reinforcing plate 10 and the supporting legs 11 provide additional support and stability for the entire feeding device.

[0039] Specifically: In the feeding device of this pin tumbler lock cylinder body processing equipment, the operator first places the pin tumbler lock cylinder bodies to be processed into the receiving tube 2 through the collecting cover 3. The pin tumbler lock cylinder bodies are accumulated and arranged in the receiving tube 2. The bottom of the receiving tube 2 is connected to the conveying frame 12. The bottom layer of pin tumbler lock cylinder bodies naturally falls into the inside of the conveying frame 12. The operator starts the motor 20, which drives the rotating rod 19 to rotate. The rotating rod 19 drives the gear 13 to rotate. The gear 13 meshes with the rack 17. As the gear 13 rotates, the rack 17 is displaced along the set track. The displacement of the rack 17 further drives the conveying frame 12 to move along the predetermined path towards the discharge port 23. When the inner cavity of the conveying frame 12 is precisely displaced to the discharge port 23... At position 3, the single pin tumbler lock body in the conveying frame 12 falls into the inner cavity of the conveying slide plate 6 through the discharge port 23 under the action of gravity. Then, the pin tumbler lock body slides along the inclined surface of the conveying slide plate 6 and smoothly enters the processing equipment through the feed port 7, completing one feeding process. After the processing equipment completes the processing of the current pin tumbler lock body, the motor 20 starts again and drives the rack 17 to move through the rotating gear 13, causing the inner cavity of the conveying frame 12 to move to align with the outlet of the conveying groove 9. At this time, the next pin tumbler lock body in the receiving tube 2 falls into the interior of the conveying frame 12, ready for the next feeding. The processing and feeding of the pin tumbler lock body is precisely controlled according to the actual needs of the processing equipment, ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
