Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic material discharge, and in particular relates to a sheet material discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] The dispensing of sheet materials or sheet cards is widely used in highways, parking lots, hotels, medical facilities, and card packaging. Existing dispensing or extrusion devices generally use the friction of a conveyor belt to carry the sheet materials. However, because sheet materials tend to stick together, there may be cases of dispensing too many or too few cards during the dispensing or extrusion process. To prevent this, a reversing paper guide roller is generally used to separate the materials and prevent them from sticking together. However, when the reversing paper guide roller is working, it can easily damage the edges of the materials and cause color peeling, resulting in material damage and affecting the material dispensing speed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sheet material discharging device to solve the technical problem of how to achieve stable and rapid discharging of sheet materials and avoid over-discharging, under-discharging, and material damage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the sheet material discharge device of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A sheet material discharging device includes a frame, which includes wall panels on both sides and connecting rods connecting the two wall panels. A hopper component is fixedly installed on the wall panel, a discharging component is installed below the hopper component, and a receiving component is installed behind the discharging component. A servo motor is installed on one side of the wall panel, and the servo motor provides power to the discharging component and the receiving component through a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt.

[0006] The hopper component includes a base plate and side plates on both sides of the base plate. The base plate and side plates constitute the main body of the hopper. The two side plates are fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the two side wall plates through the hopper adjustment assembly. A locking block is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate and is fixedly connected to the hopper adjustment assembly. A gate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate. The bottom of the gate is located above the discharge component. The hopper component is also provided with a micro-adjustment assembly. The micro-adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the back of the base plate above the locking block. A micro-adjustment screw is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate and is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. The lower part of the micro-adjustment screw is threaded and threadedly connected to the upper part of the locking block. In addition, an axial retaining ring is provided on the outer side of the micro-adjustment screw at the lower part of the connecting plate. A micro-adjustment knob is fixedly connected to the upper end of the micro-adjustment screw through the connecting plate. The connecting plate is locked between the micro-adjustment knob and the axial retaining ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the discharge component includes a drive shaft rotatably connected to both side wall panels. One end of the drive shaft passes through one side wall panel and is connected to a servo motor for transmission. A conveyor belt is fitted in the middle of the drive shaft, and a driven shaft is provided at the other end of the conveyor belt. The driven shaft is fixedly connected to the wall panel through a tension groove. A driven wheel is rotatably provided on the driven shaft. The driven wheel is rotatably connected to the driven shaft through a bearing. The conveyor belt is correspondingly provided at the lower part of the gate.

[0008] Furthermore, the hopper adjustment assembly includes a hopper support fixedly connected to the two side wall panels. A support shaft and an adjustment screw are connected between the hopper supports. The support shaft and the adjustment screw pass through the mounting plates on both sides respectively. The support shaft is slidably connected to the mounting plate, and the adjustment screw is threadedly connected to the mounting plate. The threads on both sides of the adjustment screw are opposite in direction, with one side being a left-hand thread and the other side being a right-hand thread. One end of the adjustment screw extends to the outside of the hopper support and is fixedly connected to a hopper adjustment wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking block consists of two halves connected by bolts, with the support shaft and adjusting screw located between the two halves. After locking, the locking block is tightly and fixedly connected to the support shaft and rotatably connected to the adjusting screw, meaning that the adjusting screw passes through the locking block and can rotate relative to it.

[0010] Furthermore, the discharge component also includes a limiting assembly, which includes a limiting shaft located between the conveyor belts and below the gate. The limiting shaft is fixedly connected to the wall panels on both sides. A support bearing is provided on the limiting shaft at the position corresponding to the conveyor belt, and the surface of the support bearing is in contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt. Limiting bearings are also provided on the limiting shafts on both sides of the support bearings outside the conveyor belt, and the surface of the limiting bearings is flush with the upper surface of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the base plate is also provided with a connecting groove, and the base plate can be fixedly connected to the locking block by bolts passing through the connecting groove. The bottom of the hopper component is also provided with a baffle strip, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plates on both sides. The baffle strip extends backward, so that the material is conveyed between the conveyor belt and the gate, and the material is conveyed backward through the receiving component.

[0012] The sheet material discharging device of this utility model has the following advantages: According to the thickness of the material to be discharged, the gap between the bottom of the gate and the support bearing of the discharging component is adjusted by the micro-adjustment knob of the micro-adjustment component. This gap is greater than the thickness of one sheet of material but less than the thickness of two sheets, ensuring that no more or less material is discharged. The support bearing located below the conveyor belt provides support for the conveyor belt, ensuring stable discharging and preventing scratches on the material. It also prevents the conveyor belt from shaking and deforming under the weight of the material, while increasing the friction between the material and the conveyor belt, making it easier for the conveyor belt to transmit the material through the gap between the gate and the conveyor belt. The material passing through the gap continues to be transmitted through the receiving component, realizing the discharging operation of sheet materials. The conveyor belt of the discharging device is lengthened and made of a softer material, increasing friction and improving service life. This discharging device can achieve stable and continuous discharging of sheet materials, avoiding damage to the material and the problem of over- or under-discharging, achieving precise discharging.

[0022] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a sheet material discharge device of this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the sheet material discharging device of this utility model includes a frame 1. The frame 1 includes wall panels 11 on both sides and connecting rods 12 connecting the two wall panels 11. A hopper component 2 is fixedly installed on the wall panel 11. The hopper component 2 is used to place the sheet material to be discharged. A discharging component 3 is installed at the lower part of the hopper component 2. The discharging component 3 can convey the sheet material at the bottom of the hopper component 2 backward. A receiving component 4 is installed behind the discharging component 3. The receiving component 4 can continue to convey the material conveyed by the discharging component 3 backward, thereby realizing the sequential discharge of sheet material. A servo motor 5 is installed on one side of the wall panel 11. The servo motor 5 provides power to the discharging component 3 and the receiving component 4 through a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt.

[0024] Specifically, the hopper component 2 includes a base plate 22 and side plates 21 on both sides of the base plate 22. The base plate 22 and the side plates 21 constitute the main body of the hopper. The sheet-like material to be discharged is stacked between the side plates 21 and the base plate 22. The two side plates 21 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 24, and the mounting plate 24 is connected to the two side wall plates 11 through the hopper adjustment component 28. The hopper adjustment component 28 can adjust the position of the mounting plate 24, thereby adjusting the position of the side plates 21 and thus adjusting the size of the hopper. The hopper adjustment component specifically includes hopper supports 281 fixedly connected to the two side wall plates 11. The hopper supports 281 are connected by a support shaft 282 and an adjusting screw 283. Support shaft 282 and adjusting screw 283 pass through the mounting plates 24 on both sides respectively. Support shaft 282 is slidably connected to mounting plate 24, and adjusting screw 283 is threadedly connected to mounting plate 24. The threads on both sides of adjusting screw 283 are opposite in direction, one side is a left-hand thread and the other side is a right-hand thread. By rotating adjusting screw 283, the mounting plates 24 on both sides move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the side plate 21 to move synchronously in opposite directions, so as to adjust the size of the hopper. To facilitate adjustment, one end of adjusting screw 283 extends to the outside of hopper support 281 and is fixedly connected to hopper adjusting wheel 284. By rotating hopper adjusting wheel 284, the adjusting screw is rotated, so as to adjust the size of the hopper.

[0025] In addition, a locking block 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the base plate 22. The locking block 25 consists of two halves connected by bolts. The support shaft 282 and the adjusting screw 283 are located between the two halves. After locking, the locking block 25 is tightly and fixedly connected to the support shaft 282 and rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 283. That is, the adjusting screw 283 passes through the locking block 25 and can rotate relative to the locking block 25. The base plate 22 is fixedly connected to the locking block 25. A gate 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 22. The bottom of the gate 23 is located above the discharge component 3. A connecting groove 27 is also provided, through which the base plate 22 can be fixedly connected to the locking block 25 by bolts passing through the connecting groove 27. When the bolts are loosened, the base plate 22 can move up and down relative to the bolts within the length of the connecting groove 27. In order to more accurately adjust the gap between the bottom of the gate 23 and the discharge component 3, the hopper component 2 is also provided with a micro-adjustment component 29. The micro-adjustment component 29 includes a connecting plate 291 fixedly connected to the back of the base plate 22 above the locking block 25. A micro-adjustment screw 292 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 291. The micro-adjustment screw 292 and the connecting plate 291 are connected to the locking block 25. The fine-tuning screw 292 is connected to the lower part of the connecting plate 291 by a rotating connection. The lower part of the fine-tuning screw 292 is threaded and connected to the upper part of the locking block 25 by a thread. Furthermore, an axial retaining ring 293 is provided on the outer side of the fine-tuning screw 292 at the lower part of the connecting plate 291. This axial retaining ring 293 limits the connecting plate 291 from moving up and down along the axial direction of the fine-tuning screw 292. A fine-tuning knob 294 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fine-tuning screw 292 through the connecting plate 291. The connecting plate 291 is held between the fine-tuning knob 294 and the axial retaining ring 293. After loosening the nut connecting the base plate 22 and the locking block 25, the fine-tuning screw 292 can be rotated to adjust its position. The knob 294 drives the fine-tuning screw 292 to rotate. Since the lower part of the fine-tuning screw 292 is threadedly connected to the locking block 25, the fine-tuning screw 292 and the connecting plate 291 are limited by the axial retaining ring 293. The rotation of the fine-tuning screw 292 drives the connecting plate 291 and the base plate 22 to move up and down. By rotating the fine-tuning knob 294, the gap between the gate 23 and the discharge component 3 can be finely adjusted. After adjusting the position, the nut in the connecting groove 27 on the base plate 22 is tightened and fixed to the locking block 25 to further fix the base plate 22 and improve its stability.

[0026] like Figure 5-7As shown, the discharge component 3 includes a drive shaft 31 rotatably connected to the two side wall panels 11. One end of the drive shaft 31 passes through one side wall panel 11 and is connected to a servo motor 5 for transmission. The servo motor 5 can drive the drive shaft 31 to rotate. A conveyor belt 35 is fitted in the middle of the drive shaft 31. A driven shaft 32 is provided at the other end of the conveyor belt 35. The driven shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the wall panel 11 through a tension groove 33. A driven wheel 34 is rotatably mounted on the driven shaft 32. The driven wheel 34 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft 32 through a bearing. Next, the drive wheel can drive the conveyor belt 35 to rotate. The conveyor belt 35 is located at the lower part of the gate plate 23, that is, the sheet material placed in the hopper component 2. The bottom material is directly above the conveyor belt 35. There is a gap between the bottom of the gate plate 23 and the conveyor belt 35. The rotation of the drive belt will drive the bottom material in the hopper to be conveyed backward through the gap between the gate plate 23 and the conveyor belt 35, thereby realizing the separation and discharge of the sheet material. The material conveyed from the conveyor belt 35 continues to be conveyed backward through the receiving component 4.

[0027] Furthermore, when the conveyor belt 35 of the discharging device discharges material, even if the gap between the gate 23 and the surface of the conveyor belt 35 is adjusted, due to the flexible characteristics of the conveyor belt 35, the conveyor belt may deform downward under the gravity of the sheet material, thereby changing the distance between the surface of the conveyor belt 35 and the gate 23. As the material is discharged, the position of the conveyor belt 35 may continuously change, and there may still be situations where multiple sheets or fewer sheets are discharged at one time. In order to further improve the stability and accuracy of the discharge and ensure stable single-sheet discharge, the discharging component 3 also includes a limiting component 36. The limiting component 36 includes a limiting shaft 361 located between the conveyor belts 35 and correspondingly below the gate 23. The limiting shaft 361 is fixed to the wall plates 11 on both sides. A support bearing 362 is provided on the limiting shaft 361 at the position corresponding to the conveyor belt 35. The surface of the support bearing 362 is in contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 35, providing support for the conveyor belt 35. The setting of the support bearing 362 firstly provides support for the conveyor belt 35, so that when the sheet material is discharged, the corresponding conveyor belt 35 will not shake or deform under the action of the support bearing 362, increasing the friction between the material and the conveyor belt 35. At the same time, since the conveyor belt 35 will not shake or deform, it also ensures the accuracy of the gap between the conveyor belt 35 and the gate 23, so that only one sheet of material can pass through the gap. In addition, the rotation of the support bearing 362 also reduces the friction between it and the conveyor belt 35, reducing the impact on the conveyor belt 35. Furthermore, since the conveyor belt 35 is made of flexible material, it will be compressed under the action of material gravity, thus providing frictional force to the material. In order to further ensure the discharge accuracy of the material, limit bearings 363 are also provided on the limit shafts 361 located on the outer side of the conveyor belt 35 on both sides of the support bearing 362. The surface of the limit bearing 363 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 35. The limit bearings 363 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 35. When the conveyor belt 35 is compressed under the action of material gravity, the limit bearings 363 provide partial support for the material when compressed to the upper surface of the limit bearings 363. At the same time, the conveyor belt 35 also supports the material and provides corresponding frictional force under its own elasticity. Thus, when adjusting the gap between the gate 23 and the discharge device 3, it can be achieved by adjusting the upper surface of the gate 23 and the support bearing 363. The gap between the gate 23 and the upper surface of the support bearing 363 is greater than the thickness of one sheet of material but less than the thickness of two sheets of material. This ensures that no more or fewer sheets are discharged at any time, and only one sheet of material can pass through at a time, ensuring the stability of material transmission and discharge.

[0028] The discharge device of this application can precisely adjust the distance between the bottom of the gate 23 and the surface of the conveyor belt 35 through the micro-adjustment component 29. The support bearing 362 set under the conveyor belt 35 supports the conveyor belt 35, so that the conveyor belt 35 will not shake or deform during the discharge process. At the same time, the distance between the bottom of the gate 23 and the support bearing 363 will not change. This distance is just enough to pass through the gap of a sheet of material. In this way, under the action of the conveyor belt 35, the material at the bottom of the hopper that is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 35 is driven through the gap between the gate 23 and the conveyor belt 35, realizing the discharge of material. This ensures the stability, continuity and accuracy of material discharge, and avoids the situation of multiple discharges or the destruction of material compression.

[0029] In addition, to ensure the stability of the material as it passes through the gap between the conveyor belt 35 and the gate 23 and continues to be conveyed backward, and to prevent the material from deflecting or shifting during the conveying process, a baffle strip 26 is provided at the bottom of the hopper component 2. The baffle strip 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side plates 21 on both sides. The baffle strip 26 extends backward, so that the material is conveyed between the baffle strip 26 during the process of the card being discharged from the conveyor belt 35 and the gate 23 and the material continuing to be conveyed backward through the receiving component 4. This ensures that the material is conveyed between the baffle strip 26 during the discharge process. The baffle strip 26 plays a limiting role for the material and can prevent the material from deflecting or shifting during the discharge process, which could lead to abnormal discharge.

[0030] This application discloses a sheet material discharging device. Based on the thickness of the material to be discharged, the distance between the bottom of the gate 23 and the support bearing 363 of the discharging component 3 is adjusted by the micro-adjustment knob 294 of the micro-adjustment component 29. This distance allows single sheets of material to be placed into the hopper component 2, ensuring the bottommost material contacts the upper surface of the conveyor belt 35. The support bearing 362 located below the conveyor belt 35 provides support, preventing the conveyor belt 35 from shaking under the weight of the material. The change in the material also increases the friction between the material and the conveyor belt 35, making it easier for the conveyor belt 35 to transport the material through the gap between the gate 23 and the conveyor belt 35. The material passing through the gap continues to be transported through the receiving component 4, realizing the discharge operation of sheet materials. This discharge device can realize the stable and continuous discharge of sheet materials, avoiding damage to the material and the problem of more or less material being discharged, and achieving precise discharge. It can adapt to materials of different sizes and thicknesses by adjusting the size of the hopper and the gap between the gate 23 and the conveyor belt 35, and has wide adaptability.
