Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gravity-driven sliding feeding device, belonging to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, the workpiece loading process is crucial. Efficiently and accurately transporting parts to their designated positions is key to ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent assembly and processing steps. Currently, industrial feeding devices are mainly divided into two categories: power-driven devices and gravity-assisted loading devices. Power-driven devices transport parts to designated positions through mechanical structures. These devices are complex in structure, costly, and inconvenient to maintain. They require a power source and complex transmission mechanisms, resulting in high energy consumption, which does not meet the production requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction. While some gravity-assisted loading devices do not require power, they lack effective error-prevention mechanisms. The slide structure is usually a simple straight line or V-groove, which cannot constrain the orientation of the parts, making it difficult to ensure that parts enter subsequent processes in the correct direction. This leads to problems in subsequent assembly and processing steps, causing assembly misalignment, processing failure, and even equipment or part damage. Manual pre-sorting or manual adjustment of part orientation in subsequent processes not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the risk of incorrect or missed loading due to human error. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a gravity-driven sliding feeding device to solve the problems of high manufacturing costs and difficult maintenance caused by the need for a transmission mechanism and control system in the prior art.

[0004] This utility model provides a gravity-driven sliding feeding device, which includes a support frame and a slide structure. The slide structure is located on the support frame, which is inclined and has a height difference between its two ends. The slide structure includes multiple baffles that are symmetrically located on the support frame and have gaps between them to form a sliding channel for parts to slide. The slide structure is provided with limiting components that match the parts, and the support frame is provided with a buffer device and a sensor mounting position.

[0005] Preferably, the slide structure and the support frame are modular, and the slide structure can be adjusted according to the parts.

[0006] Preferably, there are multiple slide structures, which are linearly distributed on the support frame.

[0007] Preferably, the baffle is perpendicular to the support frame, and the part is slidably connected to the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component is located inside the baffle and matches the sliding channel.

[0009] Preferably, the part slides from a high position to a low position in the sliding channel.

[0010] Preferably, the buffer device is located at the lower end of the support frame, and the buffer device cushions the parts.

[0011] Preferably, the sensor is mounted on the support frame via a sensor mounting position.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model provides a gravity-driven sliding feeding device. Multiple supporting columns and a clamping platform work together to create a height difference between the two ends of the support frame, allowing parts to slide down under their own weight. This eliminates the need for an external power source, avoiding the complex transmission mechanisms and control systems found in power-driven devices, thus significantly reducing energy consumption. Limiting components matching the shape of the parts are located on both sides of the sliding channel, constraining the part's orientation and preventing reversed parts from sliding through the channel. This achieves automatic part orientation selection without manual intervention, avoiding manual adjustments in subsequent assembly and processing steps due to inconsistent part orientations. This significantly improves production efficiency and reduces misassembly caused by human error. The slide structure and the support frame are assembled together. The slide structure is adjustable according to the parts, and the number of slides can be multiple. They can be linearly distributed or multi-layered on the support frame. The number, number of layers, and layout of the slide structure can be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs to adapt to the feeding of parts of different specifications and production batches, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment. The sliding channel is equipped with a buffer device that matches the parts, which can buffer the sliding parts. By absorbing the kinetic energy of the parts sliding down, the impact is reduced, effectively protecting the precision and integrity of the parts and avoiding damage to the parts caused by hard collisions. This improves product quality and reduces the scrap rate. The support frame is equipped with sensor mounting positions that match the parts. The sensors are installed on the support frame through the sensor mounting positions to detect the parts. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] This utility model proposes a gravity-driven sliding feeding device, including a support frame 1 and a slide structure 2. The slide structure 2 is located on the support frame 1 and is an assembled structure with the support frame 1. The slide structure 2 can be adjusted according to the parts. There can be multiple slide structures 2, which are linearly distributed on the support frame 1 or have a multi-layer design. The slide structure 2 includes baffles 21, which are symmetrical to each other and perpendicular to the support frame 1. There are gaps between the multiple baffles 21 to form a sliding channel. The parts slide in the gap between two baffles 21. The support frame 1 is inclined by multiple support columns 11 and a clamping table 12. The parts slide from high to low inside the sliding channel on the support frame 1. Limiting components 3 that match the shape of the parts are provided on both sides of the sliding channel. The limiting components 3 are located inside the baffles 21 and match the sliding channel. The limiting components 3 constrain the direction of the parts, so that parts in the opposite direction cannot slide through the sliding channel.

[0022] The sliding channel is equipped with a buffer device 4 that matches the part. The buffer device 4 buffers the sliding part and protects it. The support frame 1 is equipped with a sensor mounting position 5 that matches the part. The sensor is mounted on the support frame 1 through the sensor mounting position 5 to detect the part.

[0023] In use, the multiple supporting columns 11 and clamping platform 12 cooperate with each other to tilt the two ends of the supporting frame 1, forming a height difference, and achieve gravity-driven sliding without external power, simplifying the structure and reducing energy consumption. The lengths of the multiple supporting columns 11 vary linearly. The supporting frame 1 is equipped with a sliding track structure 2, which can be multiple according to actual needs. The multiple sliding track structures 2 on the supporting frame 1 can be a single-layer or multi-layer design, and the number, layers and layout of the sliding track structures 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. The sliding track structure 2 includes two baffles 21, forming a sliding channel between the two baffles 21. The part slides along the sliding channel. The surface of the sliding track structure 2 is smooth, reducing the sliding resistance of the part, restricting the lateral movement of the part, and ensuring that it slides along a predetermined path. The inner side of the baffle 21 is equipped with a limiting component that matches the shape of the part. 3. The limiting component 3 fits the shape of the part and limits the placement direction of the part. When the part is placed in the opposite direction on the sliding channel, the limiting component 3 physically blocks the part to prevent it from sliding on the sliding channel, realizing automatic direction selection without manual intervention. This avoids the problem of inconsistent direction of the part during the sliding process, which would require manual adjustment of the direction in subsequent assembly and processing processes, reducing efficiency and making it easy to cause misassembly due to human error. The bottom of the sliding channel is equipped with a buffer device 4 that matches the part. The buffer device 4 provides buffer protection for the part. It absorbs the kinetic energy of the part sliding down, reduces impact, effectively protects the precision and integrity of the part, and avoids damage to the part caused by hard collision. The sensor is installed on the support frame 1 through the sensor mounting position 5 to detect the part sliding down the corresponding sliding channel.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, by cooperating with multiple supporting columns 11 and the clamping table 12, a height difference is formed at both ends of the supporting frame 1, allowing the parts to slide down under their own weight without external power. This simplifies the overall structure, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes failure points and maintenance costs caused by external power equipment. The slide structure 2 and the supporting frame 1 are assembled together, and the slide structure 2 can be adjusted according to the parts. The number of slide structures 2 can be multiple, and they can be linearly distributed or multi-layered on the supporting frame 1. The number, layers, and layout of the slide structure 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs to adapt to the feeding of parts of different specifications and production batches, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment. The slide structure 2 includes multiple mutually symmetrical baffles 21, with gaps between the baffles 21 forming a sliding channel. The parts slide in the gaps between two baffles 21, restricting the lateral movement of the parts and ensuring that they slide along a predetermined path. The slide path descends smoothly, and the smooth surface of the slide structure 2 reduces the resistance of the parts' descent, improving feeding efficiency. Limiting components 3, matching the shape of the parts, are located on both sides of the sliding channel. These limiting components 3 are positioned inside the baffle 21 and match the sliding channel, constraining the direction of the parts and preventing reversed parts from sliding through the channel. This achieves automatic selection of part directions without manual intervention, avoiding the problem of inconsistent directions during descent that require manual adjustment in subsequent assembly and processing steps. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces misassembly due to human error. A buffer device 4, matching the parts, is located at the lower part of the sliding channel, buffering the sliding parts. By absorbing the kinetic energy of the parts' descent, it reduces impact, effectively protecting the precision and integrity of the parts, preventing damage caused by hard collisions, improving product quality, and reducing the scrap rate.

[0025] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
