Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, specifically to an adjustable vibratory feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A vibratory feeder is a common feeding mechanism. The billet is fed into the vibratory feeder, which then arranges it according to a certain pattern and transports it to the next process step. Existing vibratory feeders generally consist of a vibratory feeder body and a guide plate. A rotating disk is positioned above the vibratory feeder body, which drives the rotating disk to rotate. The guide plate is fitted onto the rotating disk, but it is not fixedly connected to the rotating disk, so that the guide plate does not rotate with it. The billet on the rotating disk moves with it. When the billet encounters the guide plate, it moves along the guide path on the guide plate until it flows into the next process step. However, the guide plate in existing vibratory feeders cannot be adjusted; that is, the height of the guide plate (relative to the rotating disk) cannot be adjusted. This limits the applicability of existing vibratory feeders to a narrow range of billet sizes. When encountering billets that exceed this range, such as those that are too large or too small, existing vibratory feeders become unsuitable, resulting in a narrow application range. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable vibratory feeder.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an adjustable vibratory feeder, comprising:

[0005] The vibratory feeder body has a rotating disk, and the vibratory feeder body drives the rotating disk to rotate;

[0006] A first guide ring has a first sleeve through hole, the first sleeve through hole is through the first guide ring, and at least a portion of the rotating disk extends into the first sleeve through hole, so that the first guide ring is sleeved on the rotating disk.

[0007] The second guide ring has a second sleeve through hole, which extends through the second guide ring. At least a portion of the first guide ring extends into the second sleeve through hole, thereby allowing the second guide ring to be sleeved on the first guide ring.

[0008] And a first adjustment mechanism, which enables the height of the first guide ring relative to the rotating disk to change.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the first adjustment mechanism includes a connecting block, an adjusting plate, and an adjusting bolt. The connecting block is fixedly mounted on the second guide ring. The adjusting plate has an elongated through hole that extends through the adjusting plate and whose length direction is parallel to the vertical direction. The adjusting plate and the first guide ring are fixedly connected together. The adjusting bolt passes through the elongated through hole and is fixedly connected to the connecting block. The adjusting plate rises or falls, and the adjusting bolt fixes the adjusting plate at a preset height, thereby causing the first guide ring to rise or fall with the adjusting plate, thus adjusting the relative height between the first guide ring and the rotating disk.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the second guide ring is provided with a mounting groove, which is recessed radially to a predetermined depth from the outer wall of the second guide ring. The mounting groove has a bottom wall, and the connecting block overlaps the bottom wall. The connecting block and the second guide ring are fixedly installed together by bolts or screws.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a second adjusting mechanism is further included. The second adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting cylinder and an adjusting rod. The adjusting cylinder has a rotating rod, and the rotating rod and the adjusting rod are fixedly connected. The adjusting cylinder drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod drives the adjusting rod to rotate. The adjusting rod drives the second guide ring to rise or fall.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, there is an angle between the adjusting rod and the rotating rod of the adjusting cylinder, and the angle between them is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting rod and the adjusting cylinder are fixedly connected perpendicularly to each other.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the second adjustment mechanism further includes a support member and a fastener. The support member has a insertion hole, and the adjustment rod is inserted into the insertion hole of the support member, thereby fixing the adjustment rod and the support member together. The fastener is fixedly connected to the support member and is fastened to the second guide ring, thereby causing the adjustment cylinder to drive the second guide ring to rise or fall.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the second adjusting mechanism further includes a support plate, and the adjusting cylinder is fixedly mounted on the support plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application provides an adjustable vibratory feeder, which includes a first guide ring, a second guide ring, a first adjustment mechanism, a second adjustment mechanism, and a vibratory feeder body. The first guide ring is sleeved on the rotating disk of the vibratory feeder body. The first adjustment mechanism adjusts the relative height between the first guide ring and the rotating disk. When the billet in the vibratory feeder is large, the first adjustment mechanism is adjusted to raise the first guide ring relative to the rotating disk. Thus, the billet, driven by the rotation of the rotating disk, flows through the first guide ring and into the guide groove between the first and second guide rings, forming the guide groove. The second guide ring is sleeved on the first guide ring, and the second adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the second guide ring relative to the first guide ring to accommodate billets of different sizes.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This application provides an adjustable vibratory feeder (hereinafter referred to as "the vibratory feeder"), which includes:

[0024] The vibratory feeder body 1 has a rotating disk 10, and the vibratory feeder body 1 drives the rotating disk 10 to rotate.

[0025] The first guide ring 2 has a first sleeved through hole 20, which extends through the first guide ring 2. At least a portion of the rotating disk 10 extends into the first sleeved through hole 20, thereby allowing the first guide ring 2 to be sleeved on the rotating disk 10.

[0026] The second guide ring 3 has a second sleeved through hole 30, which extends through the second guide ring 3. At least a portion of the first guide ring 2 extends into the second sleeved through hole 30, so that the second guide ring 3 is sleeved on the first guide ring 2.

[0027] The invention also includes a first adjusting mechanism 4, which allows the height of the first guide ring 2 relative to the rotating disk 10 to change. In this application, "the first guide ring 2 is sleeved on the rotating disk 10" means that the first through-hole 20 of the first guide ring 2 covers the rotating disk 10, and according to the inventive concept of this application, there is a certain gap between the first guide ring 2 and the rotating disk 10, that is, the inner wall of the first through-hole 20 does not contact the outer wall of the rotating disk 10. Similarly, "the second guide ring 3 is sleeved on the first guide ring 2" means that the second through-hole 30 of the second guide ring 3 covers the first guide ring 2, and there is a certain gap between the second guide ring 3 and the first guide ring 2, that is, there is no contact between the first guide ring 2 and the second guide ring 2. Although the specific structure of the vibratory feeder body 1 is not disclosed in this application, those skilled in the art should understand that the vibratory feeder body 1 is essentially just a power structure that drives the rotating disk 10 to rotate. For example, the structure of the vibratory feeder body 1 is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. CN202420745048.4. In that patent, the vibratory feeder body includes a drive motor and a gear assembly. The gear assembly is arranged in a meshing relationship, and the drive motor drives the gear assembly to rotate. The gear assembly meshes with the teeth on the rotating disk, thereby driving the rotating disk to rotate. Therefore, in this application, the vibratory feeder body 1 can also be designed as follows: the vibratory feeder body 1 includes a drive motor, a gear assembly, and a rotating disk. The rotating disk 10 is provided with teeth, and the gear assembly meshes with the rotating disk 10, thereby causing the drive motor to drive the rotating disk 10 to rotate.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 The first adjustment mechanism 4 includes a connecting block 41, an adjusting plate 42, and an adjusting bolt 43. The connecting block 41 is fixedly installed on the second guide ring 3. The adjusting plate 42 has an elongated through hole 420 that extends through the adjusting plate 42 and is parallel to the vertical direction. The adjusting plate 42 and the first guide ring 2 are fixedly connected together. The adjusting bolt 43 passes through the elongated through hole 420 and is fixedly connected to the connecting block 41. The adjusting plate 42 rises or falls, and the adjusting bolt 43 fixes the adjusting plate 42 at a preset height, so that the first guide ring 2 rises or falls with the adjusting plate 42, thereby adjusting the relative height between the first guide ring 2 and the rotating disk 10. When the adjusting plate 42 rises or falls, the adjusting bolt moves through the elongated through hole 420. When it reaches the preset height, the adjusting bolt 43 is tightened. At this time, the adjusting plate 42 drives the first guide ring 2 to move to the preset height position.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3The second guide ring 3 is provided with an installation groove 31. The installation groove 31 is recessed radially to a predetermined depth from the outer wall of the second guide ring 3. The installation groove 31 has a bottom wall 32. The connecting block 41 overlaps the bottom wall 32 and is fixedly installed together with the second guide ring 3 by bolts or screws.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 The vibratory feeder also includes a second adjustment mechanism 5, which comprises an adjustment cylinder 52 and an adjustment rod 53. The adjustment cylinder 52 has a rotating rod 520, which is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod 53. The adjustment cylinder 52 drives the rotating rod 520 to rotate, and the rotating rod 520 drives the adjustment rod 53 to rotate. The adjustment rod 53 drives the second guide ring 3 to rise or fall. In this application, the adjustment cylinder 52 is essentially a rotary cylinder, and the rotating rod 520 is the piston rod of the rotary cylinder. Although the specific structure of the adjustment cylinder 52 is not disclosed in this application, it is because the adjustment cylinder 52 is prior art. For example, a rotary cylinder is disclosed in Chinese invention patent application CN202510383820.1, and the adjustment cylinder 52 in this application can have the same structure as the rotary cylinder in that application.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 The adjusting rod 53 and the rotating rod 520 of the adjusting cylinder 52 have an included angle, which is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Preferably, the adjusting rod 53 and the adjusting cylinder 520 are fixedly connected perpendicularly to each other. The purpose of this design is that the adjusting cylinder 52 drives the rotating rod 520 to rotate, and the rotating rod 520 drives the adjusting rod 53 to pivot at the same time. That is, the adjusting rod 53 pivots relative to the cylinder body of the adjusting cylinder 53 within a preset angle. In this way, when the adjusting rod 53 pivots, it drives the second guide ring 3 to rise or fall.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 The second adjusting mechanism 5 further includes a support member 54 and a fastener 55. The support member 54 has a insertion hole (not shown in the figure), and the adjusting rod 53 is inserted into the insertion hole of the support member 54, thereby fixing the adjusting rod 53 and the support member 54 together. The fastener 55 is fixedly connected to the support member 54, and the fastener 55 is fastened to the second guide ring 3, thereby causing the adjusting cylinder 52 to drive the second guide ring 3 to rise or fall. In this application, the fastener 55 and the support member 54 can be connected together by bolts or screws, or by bonding, riveting, or by integral molding of the two.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 The second adjustment mechanism 5 also includes a support plate 51, and the adjustment cylinder 52 is fixedly installed on the support plate 51.

[0034] The working principle of this application is as follows: This application provides an adjustable vibratory feeder, which includes a first guide ring, a second guide ring, a first adjustment mechanism, a second adjustment mechanism, and a vibratory feeder body. The first guide ring is sleeved on the rotating disk of the vibratory feeder body. The first adjustment mechanism adjusts the relative height between the first guide ring and the rotating disk. When the billet in the vibratory feeder is large, the first adjustment mechanism is adjusted to raise the first guide ring relative to the rotating disk. In this way, the billet, driven by the rotation of the rotating disk, flows through the guide ring and enters the guide groove between the first and second guide rings. The gap between the first and second guide rings forms the guide groove. The second guide ring is sleeved on the first guide ring, and the second adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the second guide ring relative to the first guide ring to accommodate billets of different sizes.

[0035] The adjustable vibratory feeder provided in this application has the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. In addition, it is provided with a first adjustment mechanism and a second adjustment mechanism. The first adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the relative height between the first guide ring and the rotating disk, and the second adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the relative height between the second guide ring and the first guide ring, so as to adapt to billets of different sizes.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
