Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding mechanisms, specifically an automatic feeding mechanism for a level ruler / bubble level. Background Technology

[0002] A spirit level is mainly used to detect or measure horizontality and verticality. It can be divided into various specifications such as aluminum alloy square tube type, I-beam type, die-cast type, plastic type, and irregular shape. The important component of the spirit level, the bubble level, includes varieties such as ordinary long bubble level, compartment long bubble level, compensated long bubble level, glass round bubble level, metal round bubble level, electronic bubble level, electronic compensator, and plastic bubble level.

[0003] Before filling, leveling bubbles generally need to be fed using a feeding structure. However, since leveling bubbles vary in size and traditional feeding mechanisms are not easy to adjust, they may accumulate on the conveyor belt when being transported, which affects the feeding of leveling bubbles. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for spirit levels and bubble levels. This addresses the issue mentioned in the background section where spirit levels generally require a feeding structure before filling. However, since spirit levels vary in size and traditional feeding mechanisms are not easily adjustable, spirit levels may accumulate on the conveyor belt during transport, thus significantly affecting the feeding of spirit levels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism for a level ruler / bubble, comprising a fixed frame, three connecting frames fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame, the three connecting frames being arranged in a linear array at the bottom of the fixed frame, a bidirectional motor fixedly installed in the connecting frame at the middle position at the bottom of the fixed frame, threaded rods fixedly installed at both output ends of the bidirectional motor, the threaded rods installed at the output ends of the bidirectional motor penetrating into the connecting frame, and fixed rods fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting frames at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the fixed frame, with limit plates fixedly installed at the ends of the threaded rods and the fixed rods.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional motor installed in the connecting frame is controlled according to the diameter of the spirit level, thereby driving the threaded rod installed on the output end to rotate. Since the threaded rod engages in the connecting hole in the moving frame, the distance between the two moving frames can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the range restricted by the limiting plate on the conveyor belt. This ensures that spirit levels of different sizes can be arranged in an orderly manner, resulting in uniform feeding.

[0007] Preferably, a movable frame is slidably mounted on both ends of the fixed frame, the movable frame has three connecting holes, and a limiting plate is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the movable frame, the front end of the limiting plate being arc-shaped.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, with the feeding rack located at the front end of the fixed frame and the front end of the limiting plate also being arc-shaped, the leveling bubbles in the feeding rack can be evenly fed onto the conveyor belt. This effectively prevents the leveling bubbles from being piled up haphazardly on the conveyor belt, thus affecting the conveying of the leveling bubbles.

[0009] Preferably, a transmission belt is provided between the fixed frames, a drive motor is fixedly installed on one end face of the fixed frame, a transmission roller is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor, and multiple transmission rollers are rotatably installed between the fixed frames, with both the transmission rollers and the rotating rollers located within the conveyor belt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is turned on by connecting an external power source, thereby driving the transmission roller installed on the output end to rotate. Since the transmission roller is located inside the conveyor belt, it can cooperate with the rotating roller to enable the conveyor belt to transport and feed the leveling bubble.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the front surface of the fixed frame, and a feeding bracket is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the spirit levels are fed onto the conveyor belt through the feeding rack on the mounting frame. Since the feeding rack is located at the front end of the fixed frame and the front end of the limiting plate is also arc-shaped, the spirit levels in the feeding rack can be evenly fed onto the conveyor belt.

[0013] Preferably, a threaded rod is engaged in the connecting hole at the middle position of the movable frame, and a fixing rod is inserted into the connecting holes at both the front and rear ends of the movable frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving frame can be moved well by the threaded rod engaged in the connecting hole, and the fixing rod set in the connecting hole can keep the moving frame stable during movement.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This automatic feeding mechanism for spirit levels controls a bidirectional motor installed in the connecting frame based on the diameter of the spirit level. This motor drives a threaded rod installed on the output end to rotate. Since the threaded rod engages in the connecting hole in the moving frame, it can effectively adjust the distance between the two moving frames. This allows the limiting plate to adjust the range restricted on the conveyor belt, ensuring that spirit levels of different sizes are arranged in an orderly manner and fed evenly.

[0017] 2. The automatic feeding mechanism for spirit levels uses a movable frame to adjust the position of the limiting plate. Then, the operator feeds the spirit levels onto the conveyor belt via the feeding rack on the mounting frame. Because the feeding rack is located at the front end of the fixed frame, and the front end of the limiting plate is also arc-shaped, the spirit levels in the feeding rack can be evenly distributed onto the conveyor belt. This effectively prevents the spirit levels from being piled up haphazardly on the conveyor belt, which would affect the conveying of the spirit levels. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-4, an automatic feeding mechanism for a spirit level bubble is described. Three connecting frames 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 1, arranged in a linear array. A bidirectional motor 3 is fixedly installed within the connecting frame 2 at the center of the bottom of the fixed frame 1. Threaded rods 4 are fixedly installed at both output ends of the bidirectional motor 3, extending through the connecting frame 2. Fixed rods 5 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting frame 2 at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the fixed frame 1. Limiting plates 6 are fixedly installed at the ends of the threaded rods 4 and the fixed rods 5. The two end faces of the fixed frame 1 can slide. A movable frame 7 is installed, with three connecting holes 8 inside the movable frame 7. A limiting plate 9 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable frame 7, and the front end of the limiting plate 9 is arc-shaped. A transmission belt is arranged between the fixed frames 1. A drive motor 11 is fixedly installed on one end face of the fixed frame 1. A transmission roller 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 11. Multiple transmission rollers 12 are rotatably installed between the fixed frames 1. The transmission rollers 12 and the rotating rollers 13 are all located inside the conveyor belt 10. A threaded rod 4 is engaged in the connecting hole 8 at the middle position inside the movable frame 7. Fixed rods 5 are inserted into the connecting holes 8 at both the front and rear ends of the movable frame 7.

[0026] Working principle: When filling the leveling bubble, the operator first turns on the drive motor 11 by connecting an external power source, which drives the transmission roller 12 installed on the output end to rotate. Since the transmission roller 12 is located inside the conveyor belt 10, it cooperates with the rotating roller 13 to effectively convey and feed the leveling bubble onto the conveyor belt 10. Then, the operator can control the bidirectional motor 3 installed in the connecting frame 2 according to the diameter of the leveling bubble, which drives the threaded rod 4 installed on the output end to rotate. The threaded rod 4 then engages with the moving frame 7. The connecting hole 8 inside the movable frame 7 allows for better adjustment of the distance between the two movable frames 7, thereby allowing the limiting plate 9 to adjust the range restricted on the conveyor belt 10. This ensures that when feeding different sized leveling bubbles, they can be arranged in an orderly manner, resulting in uniform feeding. The connecting hole 8 inside the movable frame 7 is fitted with a fixing rod 5, which allows the movable frame 7 to remain stable when adjusting its position. The ends of the fixing rod 5 and the threaded rod 4 are fitted with limit plates 6, which effectively restrict the movable frame 7.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-4, an automatic feeding mechanism for a level ruler / bubble level is described. A movable frame 7 is slidably mounted on both ends of the fixed frame 1. Three connecting holes 8 are provided inside the movable frame 7. A limiting plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the movable frame 7. The front end of the limiting plate 9 is arc-shaped. A mounting frame 14 is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the fixed frame 1, and a feeding frame 15 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 14.

[0029] Working principle: After the moving frame 7 moves the limiting plate 9 to the correct position, the operator feeds the leveling bubbles into the conveyor belt 10 through the feeding rack 15 on the mounting frame 14. Since the feeding rack 15 is located at the front end of the fixed frame 1 and the front end of the limiting plate 9 is also arc-shaped, the leveling bubbles in the feeding rack 15 can be evenly fed into the conveyor belt 10. This can effectively prevent the leveling bubbles from being piled up randomly on the conveyor belt 10, which would affect the conveying of the leveling bubbles.
