Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring production technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for spring raw materials. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the spring manufacturing industry, the application of automated production equipment is becoming increasingly widespread, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality stability. Automatic feeding devices, as a crucial link in the spring production process, bear the important responsibility of stably transporting spring raw materials to the processing station.
[0003] Most spring manufacturers use automatic feeding devices that place spring raw materials on a feeding rack, and then transfer the raw materials to the subsequent processing area through the cooperation of the feeding rack and the conveyor belt.
[0004] However, spring raw materials vary significantly in size and specifications. Most existing feeding racks are fixed structures, making it difficult to adjust them flexibly according to the actual size of the spring raw materials. When dealing with large-sized spring raw material coils, fixed-size feeding racks may not be able to accommodate the diameter of the coils due to insufficient load-bearing space, resulting in unstable placement of the raw materials. During feeding, the materials are prone to shaking, shifting, or even falling, posing safety hazards and frequently interrupting the feeding process, thus reducing production efficiency. For small-sized spring raw materials, the lack of a targeted adjustment structure in the feeding rack makes it impossible to effectively fix and limit the materials. The materials are prone to shifting on the feeding rack, making it difficult to guarantee feeding accuracy and affecting the quality of subsequent spring processing. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for spring raw materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to an automatic feeding device for spring raw materials, comprising:
[0007] The feeding component includes a support frame, a conveyor belt, and a feeding rack. The conveyor belt is disposed on the inner surface of the support frame, and the feeding rack is installed on one side of the outer surface of the support frame.
[0008] The extension component includes a side plate, a turntable, a lead screw, a guide block, a nut, a guide groove, and an extension plate. The extension plate is located on the inner surface of the feeding rack. The side plate is located at both ends of the outer surface of the feeding rack. The turntable is located on one side of the side plate. The lead screw is rotatably connected between the two turntables. The guide groove is opened at both ends of the outer surface of the feeding rack. The guide block is located at both ends of the outer surface of the extension plate and is movably connected inside the guide groove. The nut is located on both sides of the guide block and is threaded in the middle to the outer surface of the lead screw.
[0009] Furthermore, a rotating rod is provided on one side of the outer surface of the extension plate, and a rotating shaft is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod. A limit rod is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, fixed plates are fixed at both ends of the outer surface of the feeding rack, and a vertical pole is provided at one end of the top of the base plate, the vertical pole being connected through the interior of the fixed plate.
[0012] Furthermore, an internal threaded ring is provided on one side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the middle of the internal threaded ring, and a handle is rotatably connected to the outer side of the threaded rod.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an adhesive component, which includes an adhesive roller, a rotating disk, and a rotating ring.

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.
[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is an automatic feeding device for spring raw materials, comprising:
[0030] The feeding component includes a support frame 100, a conveyor belt 101, and a feeding rack 102. The conveyor belt 101 is disposed on the inner surface of the support frame 100, and the feeding rack 102 is installed on one side of the outer surface of the support frame 100.
[0031] The extension component includes a side plate 200, a turntable 201, a lead screw 202, a guide block 203, a nut 204, a guide groove 205, and an extension plate 208. The extension plate 208 is located on the inner surface of the feeding rack 102. The side plate 200 is disposed at both ends of the outer surface of the feeding rack 102. The turntable 201 is disposed on one side of the side plate 200. The lead screw 202 is rotatably connected between the two turntables 201. The guide groove 205 is opened at both ends of the outer surface of the feeding rack 102. The guide block 203 is disposed at both ends of the outer surface of the extension plate 208 and is movably connected inside the guide groove 205. The nut 204 is disposed on both sides of the guide block 203 and is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 202 in the middle.
[0032] The motor drives the turntable 201 and the lead screw 202 to rotate, so that the nut 204 can move along the lead screw 202, thereby causing the extension plate 208 to extend outward or retract inward. The bearing space of the feeding rack 102 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual diameter of the spring material.
[0033] A rotating rod 207 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the extension plate 208. A rotating shaft 302 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 207. A limit rod 206 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 302.
[0034] The rotation of the rotating shaft 302 outside the rotating rod 207 can quickly rotate and unfold the limiting rod 206. When the spring material is placed on the upper part of the feeding rack 102, the unfolded limiting rod 206 can limit the material from multiple directions, effectively preventing the material from shaking or shifting on the feeding rack 102.
[0035] The bottom of the support frame 100 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom frame 103, and the bottom of the bottom frame 103 is welded to the bottom of the bottom plate 104.
[0036] The base plate 104 and the base frame 103 provide support when conveying spring materials.
[0037] The material feeding rack 102 has fixed plates 305 at both ends of its outer surface, and a vertical pole 300 is provided at one end of the top of the base plate 104. The vertical pole 300 is connected through the interior of the fixed plate 305.
[0038] An internal threaded ring 301 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 302. A threaded rod 303 is threadedly connected to the middle of the internal threaded ring 301. A handle 304 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 303.
[0039] When the rotating shaft 302 rotates and unfolds outside the rotating rod 207, the handle 304 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 303 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 303 is clamped outside the rotating rod 207 to position the unfolded limiting rod 206.
[0040] The working principle is as follows: First, the turntable 201 and the lead screw 202 are rotated by a motor, allowing the nut 204 to move along the lead screw 202. This, in turn, causes the extension plate 208 to extend outward or retract inward. This adjustable extension structure design allows for flexible adjustment of the load-bearing space of the feeding rack 102 according to the actual diameter of the spring material. When dealing with large-sized spring material coils, the operator can quickly extend the extension plate 208 to a suitable position via motor control, providing ample space for the material coil. This avoids the problem of traditional fixed-size feeding racks 102 being unable to accommodate large-sized materials due to insufficient load-bearing space, significantly improving the feeding efficiency. The adaptability of rack 102 to raw materials of different specifications is achieved by rotating the rotating shaft 302 outside the rotating rod 207, which can quickly rotate and unfold the limiting rod 206. When the spring material is placed on the upper part of the feeding rack 102, the unfolded limiting rod 206 can limit the material from multiple directions, effectively preventing the material from shaking or shifting on the feeding rack 102. Especially for large-diameter spring material rolls, the limiting rod 206 can closely fit the edge of the material roll, providing stable support and constraint, ensuring the stability of the material during the feeding process, ensuring the continuity and safety of the feeding process, and reducing the risk of production interruption and equipment failure caused by material displacement.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0042] The bonding component includes a bonding roller 400, a rotating disk 201, and a rotating ring 404. The bonding roller 400 is installed on one side of the outer surface of the conveyor belt 101, the rotating ring 401 is disposed at both ends of the outer surface of the bonding roller 400, and the rotating ring 404 is disposed at the outer end of the rotating ring 401.
[0043] The adhesive roller 400 is attached to one side of the conveyor belt 101. When the conveyor belt 101 is in operation, it drives the adhesive roller 400 to rotate, and uses the adhesive roller 400 to adhere and remove dust and impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 101.
[0044] The bonding component also includes a support plate 402 and a drive rod 403. The support plate 402 is fixed to one side of the outer surface of the conveyor belt 101, and the drive rod 403 passes through the support plate 402 and is disposed at one end of the rotating ring 404.
[0045] The drive rod 403 drives the rotating ring 404, the rotating ring 401 and the bonding roller 400 to rotate.
[0046] Working principle: When the conveyor belt 101 starts conveying, the external power source drives the drive rod 403 to rotate. The rotation of the drive rod 403 directly drives the rotating ring 404 connected to it to rotate synchronously. The inner wall of the rotating ring 404 and the outer wall of the rotating ring 401 are tightly matched through bearings or other rotatable connection methods, so that the rotating ring 404 can drive the rotating ring 401 to rotate together during the rotation process. An adhesive roller 400 is installed on the inner side of the rotating ring 401. The surface of the adhesive roller 400 is made of a highly adhesive material, which can effectively adsorb dust and impurities. Driven by the rotating ring 401, the adhesive roller 400 rotates around one side of the conveyor belt 101 and always maintains a close contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 101. When dust and impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 101 pass through the adhesive roller 400, the dust and impurities are quickly adsorbed onto the surface of the adhesive roller 400 due to the adhesive effect of the adhesive roller 400, thereby cleaning the conveyor belt 101. As the adhesive roller 400 continues to rotate, its surface continuously contacts the conveyor belt 101, continuously removing contaminants from the conveyor belt 101 and ensuring that the conveyor belt 101 remains clean during the conveying process.
