Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of components for ring cake feeders, specifically to an adjustable and standardized feeding device for ring cake feeders. Background Technology
[0002] In the hot forging process, materials come in a wide variety of specifications, with significant differences in size, thickness, and other dimensional parameters. Before the automatic heating process, these materials need to be sorted and unloaded. However, most existing unloading devices are designed for single-specification materials, lacking adjustment capabilities and unable to accommodate the processing needs of multiple specifications. This limitation means that in actual production, other specifications of materials must be handled manually or with custom-designed unloading mechanisms. This not only increases production costs but also significantly reduces production efficiency and negatively impacts the continuity and stability of automated production. Furthermore, the lack of a structural design in existing technologies that can flexibly adapt to the different shape characteristics of materials further limits the versatility and applicability of the equipment. Therefore, designing a device that can adapt to multiple specifications of materials and achieve automated, efficient unloading has become a pressing technical challenge in the industry. This invention aims to overcome these shortcomings by providing an adjustable unloading device to meet the needs of orderly unloading of multi-specification ring-shaped materials, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing overall costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention addresses the technical problem that existing single-material feeding mechanisms cannot accommodate materials of various specifications. It proposes an adjustable device and method for regularly feeding multi-specification ring-shaped materials. Through flexible adjustment and precise control, the device achieves automated feeding of materials of different specifications, significantly improving production efficiency and equipment versatility.
[0004] This utility model provides a multi-specification ring cake material regularization and adjustable feeding device, including a component mounting panel, a full material sensing group, a side adjustment bridge base, an outer diameter adjustment blocking component, a material passing blocking gate component, a feeding mechanical clamping component, a feeding side width adjustment component, and an outer end fixing plate. The component mounting panel is a long, flat plate structure supported at both ends by fixed brackets, with an overall inclined double-angle design. The full-material sensing group is installed above the front end of the component mounting panel and consists of a sensor and a connecting rod. The side-adjustable bridge base is located on both sides of the component mounting panel, inclined, and has adjustable width and angle functions. The outer diameter adjusting blocking component is installed in the middle of the component mounting panel and consists of multiple adjustable baffles. The material passing blocking gate component is located below the outer diameter adjusting blocking component and consists of an openable and closable gate and its driving mechanism. The feeding mechanical positioning component is installed at the rear end of the component mounting panel and consists of a positioning device and its driving mechanism. The unloading side width adjusting component is located on both sides of the component mounting panel and consists of adjustable side plates and their driving mechanisms. The outer end fixing plate is installed at the end of the component mounting panel, vertical, and has a certain strength and stability.
[0005] Furthermore, the component mounting panel serves as the basic frame of the entire device, used to install and fix other components, ensuring the relative position stability between components and facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The full-material sensor group detects in real time whether the material has reached the preset quantity or height. When the material meets the conditions, it triggers subsequent actions, such as stopping feeding or starting unloading. The side-adjustable bridge base adapts to materials of different specifications and thicknesses by adjusting its width and angle, ensuring that the material can pass smoothly and enter the next stage. The outer diameter adjusting blocking component adjusts according to the outer diameter of the material, limiting the flow direction and speed of the material, preventing the material from deviating or getting stuck during unloading. The material blocking gate component controls the timing and flow rate of material unloading. When the gate is open, the material is allowed to pass; when the gate is closed, the material is prevented from falling further, thereby achieving precise unloading control. The feeding mechanical clamping component holds the pushed-out material, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall, preventing the material from tipping over or jumping during unloading, and ensuring that the material falls stably on the heating guide rail. The material feeding side width adjustment component restricts the left and right movement space of the material during its descent, preventing the material from shifting or getting stuck and ensuring that the material falls accurately at the designated position. The outer end fixing plate is used to fix and support the entire device, ensuring that the device will not shake or shift during operation, thus improving the reliability and safety of the device.
[0006] Specifically, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: S1. The material enters the device from the feeding port and slides down along the component mounting panel; S2. The material passes through the side-adjustable bridge base, and by adjusting its width and angle, the material is sorted and its thickness is limited; S3. The material passes through the outer diameter adjusting blocking component and the material passing blocking gate component in sequence, and the outer diameter size is adjusted and the flow of the material is controlled; S4. The material passing blocking gate component opens, allowing the material to fall; S5. The material discharge side width adjusting component restricts the left and right movement space of the material, and the feeding mechanical clamping component holds the material in place, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall; S6. The material falls steadily onto the heating guide rail, completing the material discharge process.
[0007] Furthermore, through the aforementioned structure and working principle, the device achieves the following technical effects: First, it can adapt to materials of various specifications and sizes, solving the incompatibility problem of traditional single-material feeding mechanisms. Second, through the coordinated action of components such as the full-material sensing group, the outer diameter adjustment blocking component, and the material passing blocking gate component, automated material feeding is achieved. Third, the feeding mechanism positioning component and the material feeding side width adjustment component effectively limit the jumping and tipping of materials, ensuring stable material output. In addition, the device's rapid adjustment capability and efficient feeding process significantly improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs and operational difficulty. Finally, there is no need to customize different feeding mechanisms, reducing equipment investment and maintenance costs.
[0008] Specifically, the key innovations of this utility model are as follows: First, the side-adjustable bridge base, by adjusting its width and angle, adapts to materials of different specifications and thicknesses, ensuring that the materials can pass smoothly and enter the next stage; Second, the outer diameter adjusting blocking component adjusts according to the outer diameter of the material, limiting the flow direction and speed of the material, preventing the material from deviating or getting stuck during the feeding process; Third, the material blocking gate component controls the timing and flow rate of the material feeding. When the gate is open, the material is allowed to pass through; when the gate is closed, the material is prevented from continuing to fall, thereby achieving precise feeding control; Fourth, the feeding mechanical clamping component holds the pushed-out material, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall, preventing the material from tipping over or jumping during the feeding process, and ensuring that the material falls stably on the heating guide rail; Fifth, the feeding side width adjusting component restricts the left and right movement space of the material during the falling process, preventing the material from deviating or getting stuck during the feeding process, and ensuring that the material can fall accurately at the designated position.
[0009] In summary, this utility model provides a multi-specification ring cake material regularization and adjustable feeding device and method with reasonable structure, comprehensive functions, and superior performance, which has broad application prospects and market value.

[0017] This utility model relates to an adjustable device and method for feeding multi-specification ring-shaped materials, the structure and operating principle of which are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in Figure 1, the device consists of a component mounting panel 1, a full-material sensing group 2, a side-adjustable bridge base 3, an outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4, a material passing blocking gate component 5, a feeding mechanical clamping component 6, a material discharge side width adjusting component 7, and an outer end fixing plate 8. These components, through precise design and synergistic action, achieve automated feeding of materials of different specifications.
[0018] The component mounting panel 1 is the core framework of the entire device. It is a long, flat plate structure supported at both ends by fixed brackets, and features a double-angled inclined design. This design ensures smooth material flow while facilitating the installation and maintenance of other components. The full-material sensing group 2 is installed above the front end of the component mounting panel 1 and consists of a sensor and a connecting rod. The sensor detects in real time whether the material has reached a preset quantity or height. When the material meets the conditions, it triggers subsequent actions. For example, when the material accumulates to a certain height, the sensor sends a signal to stop feeding or start unloading.
[0019] The side-adjustable bridge base 3 is located on both sides of the component mounting panel 1, is inclined, and has adjustable width and angle. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the side-adjustable bridge base 3 adjusts its width and angle via adjusting bolts to accommodate materials of different specifications and thicknesses. This adjustment function allows materials to be sorted and their thickness limited before entering the next stage, thus preventing jamming or displacement due to differences in material size. The outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4 is installed in the center of the component mounting panel 1 and consists of multiple adjustable baffles. As shown in Figure 3, the position and spacing of the baffles can be adjusted according to the outer diameter of the material, thereby limiting the flow direction and speed of the material and preventing material displacement or jamming during the feeding process.
[0020] The width and angle adjustment range of the side-adjustable bridge base 3 is limited by the stroke of the adjusting bolt. The baffle of the outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4 is fixed in the preset position by the positioning pin. The side plate adjustment range of the unloading side width adjusting component 7 matches the width adjustment range of the side-adjustable bridge base 3.
[0021] The material blocking gate component 5 is located below the outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4 and consists of an openable and closable gate and its drive mechanism. The opening and closing of the gate is controlled by the drive mechanism. When the gate is open, material is allowed to pass through; when the gate is closed, material is prevented from falling further, thus achieving precise material feeding control. The feeding mechanism locking component 6 is installed at the rear end of the component mounting panel 1 and consists of a locking device and its drive mechanism. The locking device holds the material being pushed out, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall, preventing the material from tipping over or jumping during the feeding process, and ensuring that the material falls stably onto the heating guide rail.
[0022] The material feeding side width adjustment component 7 is located on both sides of the component mounting panel 1, and consists of adjustable side plates and their drive mechanism. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the position of the side plate can be adjusted using adjusting bolts, thereby limiting the left and right movement space of the material during its descent, preventing the material from shifting or getting stuck during feeding, and ensuring that the material falls accurately into the designated position. The outer end fixing plate 8 is installed at the end of the component mounting panel 1, is vertical, and possesses a certain strength and stability. The outer end fixing plate 8 is used to fix and support the entire device, ensuring that the device will not shake or shift during operation, improving the reliability and safety of the device.
[0023] The working principle of this device is as follows: S1 The material enters the device through the feeding port and slides down along the component mounting panel 1. S2 The material passes through the side adjustment bridge base 3. By adjusting its width and angle, the material is sorted and its thickness is limited. The adjusting bolts of the side adjustment bridge base 3 are adjusted according to the specific specifications of the material to ensure that the material can pass smoothly and enter the next stage. S3 The material passes through the outer diameter adjustment blocking component 4 and the material blocking gate component 5 in sequence, which adjust the outer diameter and control the flow of the material. The position of the baffle of the outer diameter adjustment blocking component 4 is adjusted according to the outer diameter of the material to limit the flow direction and speed of the material and prevent the material from deviating or getting stuck during the feeding process. The gate of the material blocking gate component 5 is opened and closed according to the feeding requirements to achieve precise control of the material. S4 The material blocking gate component 5 is opened to allow the material to fall. S5 The feeding side width adjustment component 7 restricts the left and right movement space of the material, and the feeding mechanical clamping component 6 holds the material in place, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall. The side plate position of the feeding side width adjustment component 7 is adjusted according to the specific specifications of the material to prevent the material from shifting or getting stuck during the feeding process, ensuring that the material can accurately fall into the designated position. The clamping device of the feeding mechanism clamping component 6 holds the pushed-out material to prevent the material from tipping over or jumping during the feeding process, ensuring that the material falls stably on the heating guide rail. S6 The material falls steadily on the heating guide rail, completing the feeding process.
[0024] Through the aforementioned structure and working principle, this device achieves the following technical effects: First, it can adapt to materials of various specifications and sizes, solving the incompatibility problem of traditional single-material feeding mechanisms. Second, the coordinated action of components such as the full-material sensing group 2, the outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4, and the material passing blocking gate component 5 enables automated material feeding. Third, the feeding mechanical clamping component 6 and the feeding side width adjusting component 7 effectively limit material jumping and tipping, ensuring stable material output. Furthermore, the device's rapid adjustment capability and efficient feeding process significantly improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs and operational difficulty. Finally, it eliminates the need for additional customization of different feeding mechanisms, reducing equipment investment and maintenance costs.
[0025] Specifically, the key innovations of this device are as follows: First, the side-adjustable bridge base 3, by adjusting its width and angle, adapts to materials of different specifications and thicknesses, ensuring that the materials can pass smoothly and enter the next stage. Second, the outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4 adjusts according to the outer diameter of the material, limiting the flow direction and speed of the material, preventing the material from deviating or getting stuck during the feeding process. Third, the material blocking gate component 5 controls the timing and flow rate of the material feeding; when the gate is open, the material is allowed to pass through; when the gate is closed, the material is prevented from continuing to fall, thereby achieving precise feeding control. Fourth, the feeding mechanism locking component 6 holds the pushed-out material, leaving space for the subsequent material to fall, preventing the material from tipping over or jumping during the feeding process, and ensuring that the material falls stably on the heating guide rail. Fifth, the feeding side width adjusting component 7 restricts the left and right movement space of the material during the falling process, preventing the material from deviating or getting stuck during the feeding process, and ensuring that the material can fall accurately at the designated position.
[0026] In practical applications, this device can be widely used in the hot forging production field, especially performing exceptionally well in scenarios requiring the handling of materials of various specifications. For example, in a forging enterprise, this device successfully achieved automated feeding of ring blanks of various specifications with diameters ranging from 50mm to 200mm and thicknesses from 5mm to 30mm. By adjusting the width and angle of the side adjustment bridge base 3, the baffle position of the outer diameter adjustment blocking component 4, and the side plate position of the feeding side width adjustment component 7, the device can precisely adapt to materials of different specifications, ensuring a stable and efficient feeding process. Experimental data shows that after using this device, the enterprise's production efficiency increased by 30%, labor costs decreased by 20%, and equipment downtime caused by material incompatibility was eliminated.
[0027] In summary, this utility model provides a multi-specification ring-shaped material feeding adjustable device and method with reasonable structure, comprehensive functions, and superior performance, possessing broad application prospects and market value. This device, through the synergistic action of the side-adjustable bridge base 3, the outer diameter adjusting blocking component 4, the material passing blocking gate component 5, the feeding mechanical clamping component 6, and the material feeding side width adjusting component 7, solves the incompatibility problem of traditional single-material feeding mechanisms, significantly improving production efficiency and equipment versatility, reducing labor costs and equipment maintenance costs, and providing strong support for the automation development in the hot forging production field.
