[0022] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the utility model embodiment proposes a disc 1 feeder for supplying material to other equipment in industrial production.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 3 The disc 1 feeder comprises a frame, a rotatable disc 1 arranged on the frame, a driving assembly in driving connection with the disc 1, a bin 2 arranged on the frame and having a discharging end located right above the disc 1, a cam 3 arranged on the disc 1 and extending into the bin 2, a mounting seat 4 arranged in the bin 2, four guide cylinders 41 arranged on the mounting seat 4 and in a cross shape, a movable movable rod 5 arranged in each of the guide cylinders 41, a guide wheel 51 arranged at one end of each of the movable rods 5 and a conical spike 52 arranged at the other end of each of the movable rods 5 and extending into the bin 2, a connecting rod 53 arranged between any two adjacent guide wheels 51 and having two ends in driving connection with the two guide wheels 51 respectively, the cam 3 located in a space surrounded by the four connecting rods 53 and in abutment with two opposite guide wheels 51, and the cam 3 pushing the two guide wheels 51 away from each other when the driving assembly drives the disc 1 to rotate, while the other two guide wheels 51 being driven by the connecting rods 53 to move close to each other, so that the four movable rods 5 slide in the guide cylinders 41 respectively and drive the conical spikes 52 to move, and the caked materials in the bin 2 are broken by the movement of the conical spikes 52 in the bin 2, preventing the discharge opening of the bin 2 from being blocked by the caked materials.
[0024] Specifically, when the disc 1 feeder provided by the embodiment is used for feeding, the driving assembly is started to drive the disc 1 to rotate, and the material in the hopper 2 falling on the disc 1 is thrown to the discharge port at the edge of the disc 1 by centrifugal force and input into the target device, and the process of rotating the disc 1 drives the cam 3 to rotate synchronously, and in the process of rotating the cam 3, two of the four guide wheels 51 oppositely arranged respectively abut the two ends of the cam 3, and when the cam 3 rotates, the two guide wheels 51 abutting the cam 3 are pushed away from each other and drive the corresponding two movable rods 5 to move away from each other, so that the conical spikes on the movable rod 5 move in the hopper 2 in the direction away from the mounting seat 4, and the other two oppositely arranged cams 3 are pulled close to each other by the connecting rod 53 and drive the corresponding two movable rods 5 to move close to each other, so that the conical spikes 52 on the movable rod 5 move in the hopper 2 in the direction close to the mounting seat 4, and the cam 3 continuously rotates and alternately contacts the four guide wheels 51, so that the four conical spikes 52 continuously reciprocate in the hopper 2, so as to break the caked material in the hopper 2 by inserting the conical spikes 52 into the caked material, so that the material is smoothly discharged from the hopper 2 and falls on the disc 1. The disc 1 feeder provided by the embodiment can prevent the material from caking and blocking the discharge port of the hopper 2, ensure that the material can continuously fall on the disc 1 during the material conveying process, and improve the reliability of the disc 1 feeder.
[0025] As shown in Figure 1 The cam 3 is installed on the support seat 11 through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 31 and the slot, and the support seat 11 is fixedly connected with the disc 1, so as to ensure the reliable connection between the cam 3 and the disc 1, so that the cam 3 can continuously and stably rotate under the driving of the disc 1.
[0026] In detail, the support seat 11 is provided with a through hole in communication with the slot, and the first connecting rod 31 is provided with a first mounting hole aligned with the through hole. After the first connecting rod 31 is inserted into the slot, the first mounting hole is aligned with the through hole, at which time a bolt is passed through the through hole and the first mounting hole and a nut is locked to fix the position of the cam 3 on the support seat 11, so that the cooperation between the cam 3 and the support seat 11 is firm, preventing the cam 3 from being separated from the support seat 11.
[0027] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the mounting seat 4 comprises a matched upper shell 42 and lower shell 43, the upper shell 42 and the lower shell 43 enclose four guide cylinders 41 and the cam 3 is located in the space enclosed by the upper shell 42 and the lower shell 43.

By providing the second connecting rod 47 on the guide cylinder 41 for the installation of the guide wheel 51, the position of the guide wheel 51 on the guide cylinder 41 remains stable, and the end of the connecting rod 53 is rotationally connected with the second connecting rod 47, which ensures that the connecting rod 53 can smoothly rotate relative to the guide wheel 51 and pull the movable rod 5 to move in the guide cylinder 41.
[0032] In detail, the guide cylinder 41 is respectively provided with a clearance gap 48 for avoiding the connecting rod 53. The clearance gap 48 provided on the guide cylinder 41 is used for avoiding the connecting rod 53, preventing the connecting rod 53 from colliding with the guide cylinder 41 when rotating to cause the disc 1 feeder to be damaged, and facilitating to improve the reliability of the disc 1 feeder.
[0033] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conical spike 52 is provided with a baffle 54, the baffle 54 is fixedly connected with the movable rod 5, and the baffle 54 covers the opening of the guide cylinder 41. The conical spike 52 is installed on the movable rod 5 by fixing the baffle 54 on the conical spike 52 and the movable rod 5, and the guide cylinder 41 is closed by covering the opening of the guide cylinder 41 with the baffle 54, so as to avoid the material from entering the inside of the mounting seat 4 from the guide cylinder 41.
