Description

Technical Field

[0002] Automatic feeding devices for steel shot production are automated equipment used in the steel shot production process to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. The main function of these devices is to automatically feed steel shot into the next stage of the production line, thereby reducing reliance on manual operation. Automatic feeding devices are crucial equipment for achieving automation and high-efficiency production in the steel shot production process.

The support frame 11 can support and fix the main board 12, the first side plate 14, and the second side plate 15. The feed hopper is a detachable structure, consisting of the main board 12, the first side plate 14, and the second side plate 15. When it is severely worn by steel shot, only the severely worn parts need to be replaced, and the whole structure does not need to be replaced.

The sealing cover 19 can limit and fix the guide rails 16 on the rubber damping component 13, thereby limiting and fixing the rubber damping component 13. The main board 12 is connected and fixed to side plate 14 and side plate 2 15, and side plate 14 and side plate 2 15 are connected and fixed through the rubber damping component 13. The rubber damping component 13 can reduce the resonance frequency transmitted from the main board 12 to side plate 14 and side plate 2 15, and reduce the resonance frequency transmitted from side plate 14 to side plate 2 15.

[0026] The semi-circular protrusions on the main board 12, side plate 14, and side plate 2 have corresponding slots for the spring 17 at their bottom ends. These slots allow for a certain degree of fixation of the spring 17. The sealing fastener 171 is connected to the semi-circular protrusions on the main board 12, side plate 14, and side plate 2 15 via bolt threads. The sealing fastener 171 seals the slots for the spring 17 at their bottom ends, thus fixing the spring 17. When the rubber damping component 13 is severely worn, the spring 17 can... The main plate 12 is positioned at a certain angle with side plate 14 and side plate 15, and side plate 14 and side plate 15, to facilitate the replacement of the rubber damping component 13. The rectangular connector 18 can make the connection between the main plate 12 and side plate 14 and side plate 15, and side plate 14 and side plate 15 more compact. The flexible hopper 121 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane and has excellent wear resistance. The flexible hopper 121 can reduce the impact force of steel shot on the feeding mechanism 2, thereby reducing the wear of steel shot on the feeding mechanism 2. The cooperation of the above parts can reduce the noise generated by the impact of steel shot. Example

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a support rod 21, a receiving hopper 22 at the front end of the support rod 21, a feeding pipe 23 at the lower end of the receiving hopper 22, a circular fixing plate 24 at the front end of the feeding pipe 23, a motor 25 at the front end of the circular fixing plate 24, a spiral feeding rod 28 inside the circular fixing plate 24, a fixed support member 26 at the lower end of the feeding pipe 23, and a discharge hopper 27 at the bottom end of the feeding pipe 23. The front end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the receiving hopper 22, the front end of the receiving hopper 22 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the feeding pipe 23, the front end of the feeding pipe 23 is connected to the rear end of the circular fixing plate 24 by bolt threads, the front end of the circular fixing plate 24 is connected to the rear end of the motor 25 by bolt threads, the lower end of the feeding pipe 23 is connected to the upper end of the fixed support member 26 by bolt threads, the bottom end of the feeding pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the top end of the discharge hopper 27, a rolling bearing is provided at the top end of the spiral feeding rod 28, and a corresponding groove for the rolling bearing is provided inside the circular fixing plate 24.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the receiving hopper 22, allowing the receiving hopper 22 to receive steel shot more stably. The receiving hopper 22 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 23, allowing the steel shot to be transferred to the feeding pipe 23. The motor 25 drives the spiral feeding rod 28 to rotate, transporting the steel shot in the feeding pipe 23 to the discharge hopper 27, thus enabling the steel shot to enter the next stage of processing. The circular fixing plate 24 can fix the spiral feeding rod 28. The feeding pipe 23 is sealed to prevent steel shot from falling out of the feeding pipe 23. The fixed support 26 is connected to the feeding pipe 23 by bolt threads. The support and fixing can reduce the shaking of the feeding pipe 23, so that the steel shot can be more stably transported from the discharge hopper 27 to the next processing stage. The circular fixing plate 24 is connected to the feeding pipe 23 by bolt threads. When the steel shot in the feeding pipe 23 is blocked, the circular fixing plate 24 can be removed to clear the blockage of the feeding pipe 23.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, the feed hopper is a detachable design, consisting of a main board 12, side plate one 14, and side plate two 15. The main board 12, side plate one 14, and side plate two 15 are supported and fixed by a support frame 11. When the feed hopper is severely worn by steel shot, only the severely worn parts need to be replaced, not the entire hopper. The rubber vibration damper 13 can be quickly installed and removed via guide rails 16. The sealing cover 19 limits and fixes the guide rails 16 on the rubber vibration damper 13, thus limiting and fixing the rubber vibration damper 13. The main board 12 is connected and fixed to side plate one 14 and side plate two 15, and side plate one 14 is connected to side plate two 15 via the rubber vibration damper 13. This can reduce the resonance frequency transmitted from the main board 12 to the side plate 14 and the side plate 2 15, and reduce the resonance frequency transmitted from the side plate 14 to the side plate 2 15. The main board 12, the side plate 14 and the side plate 2 15 are provided with corresponding slots for the springs 17. The springs 17 can be fixed to a certain extent through the slots. The sealing fastener 171 can seal the corresponding slots for the springs 17 on the main board 12, the side plate 14 and the side plate 2 15, thereby fixing the springs 17. When the rubber damping component 13 is severely worn, the springs 17 can spread a certain angle between the main board 12 and the side plate 14 and the side plate 2 15, and between the side plate 14 and the side plate 2 15, so as to facilitate the replacement of the rubber damping component 13.

[0031] The rectangular connector 18 allows for a tighter connection between the main board 12 and side plates 14 and 15, and between side plates 14 and 15. The flexible hopper 121, made of thermoplastic polyurethane, has excellent wear resistance. The flexible hopper 121 reduces the impact of steel shot on the feeding mechanism 2, thereby reducing wear on the steel shot contacting the hopper 22. The motor 25 drives the spiral feed rod 28 to rotate, which transports the steel shot in the feeding pipe 23 to the discharge hopper 27, allowing the steel shot to enter the next stage of processing. The circular fixing plate 24 fixes the spiral feed rod 28 and seals the feeding pipe 23 to prevent steel shot from falling out of the feeding pipe 23. The support fixing parts reduce the shaking of the feeding pipe 23, allowing the steel shot to be transported more stably from the discharge hopper 27 to the next processing stage.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
