Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of manufacturing equipment, specifically relating to a material buffer and automatic replenishment device for a production line. Background Technology

[0002] A production line material buffer and automatic replenishment device is an automated piece of equipment used in manufacturing. It is primarily used to temporarily store materials during production and automatically replenish them to workstations when needed. It typically consists of a buffer bin, conveyor mechanism, sensors, and control unit. It can monitor material inventory in real time and trigger replenishment signals to ensure an uninterrupted supply of materials to the production line. This system is suitable for various production scenarios such as assembly, packaging, and machining, helping factories achieve a more stable and continuous material supply.

[0003] Currently, the problem of debris accumulation in the feed chute mainly occurs in the inclined feed chute of the material buffer device. When metal or plastic parts slide continuously, the fine debris generated by friction will gradually accumulate at the corners or joints of the feed chute. These debris will initially form a loose accumulation, but after a period of time, especially in a humid environment, they are prone to hardening into lumps, which will slow down the material's downward movement or even cause the material to get stuck.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a production line material buffer and automatic replenishment device, including,

[0029] The support mechanism 100 includes a support frame 110 and a storage platform 120 disposed inside the support frame 110;

[0030] The cleaning mechanism 200 includes a support frame 210, a drive assembly 220 disposed on top of the support frame 210, a scraping assembly 230 disposed on bottom of the drive assembly 220, a collection assembly 240 fixedly installed on the outside of the support frame 110, and a limiting support assembly 250 disposed on top of the scraping assembly 230.

[0031] The design of the supporting mechanism 100 and the cleaning mechanism 200 integrates the functions of material buffering and automatic cleaning. The storage platform 120 inside the supporting frame 110 can stably store materials, while the driving component 220 in the cleaning mechanism 200 drives the scraping component 230 to clean the inner wall of the supporting frame 110, the collecting component 240 centrally processes the debris, and the limiting support component 250 ensures the stability of the scraping action.

[0032] Specifically, the drive assembly 220 includes a housing 221 fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 210, a servo motor 222 fixedly mounted in the inner cavity of the housing 221, a threaded rod 223 fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 222, a sliding sleeve 224 movably sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 223, and an adjustment channel 225 opened at the bottom of the housing 221.

[0033] The drive assembly 220 uses a servo motor 222 to drive the threaded rod 223, which works in conjunction with the sliding sleeve 224 to achieve precise linear motion. The adjusting channel 225 restricts the movement trajectory of the sliding sleeve 224, ensuring the stable operation of the scraping assembly 230 and improving the cleaning accuracy. At the same time, the controllability of the servo motor 222 makes it suitable for different cleaning frequency requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, the scraping assembly 230 includes a connecting cylinder rod 231 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 224, a telescopic rod 232 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting cylinder rod 231, a return spring 233 movably sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 232, a scraper blade 234 fixedly installed at the bottom of the return spring 233, and an inclined surface 235 provided on the outside of the scraper blade 234.

[0035] The scraping assembly 230, through the cooperation of the connecting rod 231 and the telescopic rod 232, enables the scraper 234 to adapt to the curved or uneven structure of the inner wall of the support frame 110. The return spring 233 provides elastic pressure to ensure that the scraper 234 always fits the cleaning surface. The inclined surface 235 design facilitates the sliding of debris, improves cleaning efficiency and reduces residue.

[0036] Preferably, the collection assembly 240 includes a slot 241 fixedly installed on the outside of the support frame 110, a through hole 242 opened on the top side of the slot 241, a sleeve 243 fixedly installed on the bottom of the slot 241 and located around the perimeter of the through hole 242, and a collection box 244 movably locked at the bottom of the sleeve 243.

[0037] The collection component 240 receives scraped debris through the slot box 241 and the through hole 242. The sleeve 243 and the collection box 244 are designed to be detachable, which facilitates quick cleaning and maintenance and avoids secondary pollution of debris. At the same time, the layout of the through hole 242 ensures that the debris falls accurately into the collection box 244, reducing manual intervention.

[0038] Furthermore, the limiting support assembly 250 includes a movable rod 251, a connecting block 252 fixedly installed at one end of the movable rod 251, and a connecting plate 253 fixedly installed at the other end of the movable rod 251. The connecting plate 253 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting cylinder rod 231, and one side of the connecting block 252 is in contact with the outer side of the housing 221.

[0039] The limiting support component 250, through the cooperation of the movable rod 251 and the connecting block 252, restricts the movement range of the scraping component 230 to prevent deviation or jamming. The connecting plate 253 is fixed to the top of the connecting cylinder rod 231 to ensure the stability of the scraping action. At the same time, the connecting block 252 fits against the outside of the housing 221 to enhance the rigidity of the overall structure. The fixed connection between the connecting plate 253 and the connecting cylinder rod 231, as well as the fitting design between the connecting block 252 and the housing 221, further improves the movement accuracy of the scraping component 230, avoids deviations caused by vibration or load, and ensures the reliability and consistency of the cleaning action.

[0040] Furthermore, the support mechanism 100 also includes an operating platform 130 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 110, and a conveyor roller 140 fixedly installed on the top of the operating platform 130.

[0041] The addition of the operating platform 130 and the conveyor roller 140 optimizes the material flow efficiency. The operating platform 130 provides space for manual operation, while the conveyor roller 140 facilitates the automatic conveying of materials. Working in conjunction with the cleaning mechanism 200, it realizes full-process automation of buffering, replenishment and cleaning.

[0042] In use, the material is first conveyed by the conveyor roller 140 to the storage platform 120 inside the support frame 110 for buffering. When replenishment is needed, the material is output in an orderly manner through the operating platform 130. At the same time, the servo motor 222 drives the threaded rod 223 to move the sliding sleeve 224 along the adjusting channel 225, so that the scraper 234 at the bottom of the connecting cylinder rod 231 adheres to the inner wall of the support frame 110 under the elastic action of the return spring 233, scraping off the residual debris. The scraped debris is guided through the inclined surface 235 to the through hole 242 of the slot box 241, and finally falls into the detachable collection box 244. The limiting support assembly 250 ensures the accuracy of the running trajectory of the scraping assembly 230 through the cooperation of the movable rod 251 and the connecting block 252.

[0043] In summary, through the collaborative design of the carrying mechanism 100 and the cleaning mechanism 200, the integrated functions of material buffering, automatic replenishment, and intelligent cleaning are realized. The storage platform 120 inside the carrying frame 110 ensures stable temporary storage of materials, while the operating platform 130 and the conveyor roller 140 optimize material flow efficiency. The drive component 220 drives the threaded rod 223 through the servo motor 222 to drive the scraping component 230 for precise cleaning. Its telescopic rod 232 and return spring 233 enable the scraper 234 to adapt to the inner wall curvature, and the inclined surface 235 design improves the debris removal rate. The collection component 240 realizes centralized processing of debris through the slot box 241 and the detachable collection box 244. The limiting support component 250 ensures the stability of system operation through the cooperation of the movable rod 251 and the connecting block 252. Finally, a highly efficient automated system integrating storage, conveying, and cleaning is formed, which significantly reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the continuity of the production line.
