Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, specifically a replaceable feeding rail device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional feeding equipment has significant limitations in use: Firstly, for materials requiring strict directional consistency, existing equipment largely relies on manual sorting or a single mechanical positioning structure. Manual sorting is inefficient and prone to errors, making it difficult to adapt to high-speed automated production. Mechanical positioning structures are typically designed for the shape and orientation of specific materials, and when the material orientation deviates, there is a lack of effective automatic identification and rejection mechanisms, easily leading to defective materials flowing into the next process. Secondly, when production demands change or different shapes or specifications of materials need to be replaced, core components of traditional feeding equipment, such as the feeding rail, often require complex disassembly, adjustment, or even reprocessing. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting production changeover efficiency, but also has a limited range of adaptability. Although some equipment can be fine-tuned to a certain extent, it still cannot meet the needs of rapid changeover in multi-variety, small-batch production models. Utility Model Content

An inclined guide plate two is fixedly provided on the side wall of the mounting side plate two.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the second guide rail is provided with a material distribution notch located on one side of the baffle.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] In the field of automated production, efficient and precise material handling is crucial for ensuring production continuity and product quality stability. This is especially true in industries such as electronics, automotive parts, and precision instruments, where materials often come in diverse shapes and complex specifications, and where there are extremely high requirements for the consistency of material handling direction and position. Deviations in direction or misalignment can not only disrupt subsequent assembly and testing processes but also cause material damage, equipment malfunctions, and even affect the performance of the final product.
[0025] In the field of automated production, efficient and precise material conveying is a core facility. Interchangeable feed rails can be easily connected to feed trays and feed platform devices. Soft surfaces prevent scratches during material conveying.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Due to the inherent limitations of existing technologies, such as difficulty in ensuring consistent material conveying direction, poor adaptability to materials of different shapes, and low changeover efficiency, please refer to... Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a replaceable feeding rail device that can reject materials with different directions during material conveying, ensuring consistent material direction and position during output. Different feeding rail units can be replaced as needed. The device includes a support 1, on which a vibrator 2 is mounted. A mounting base 3 is fixed to the top of the vibrator 2. A feeding rail unit is detachably mounted on the top of the mounting base 3 via bolts. A frame 7 is located behind the mounting base 3. Two mounting plates 8 are fixed to the top of the frame 7. Color detectors 9 are mounted on the side walls of both mounting plates 8, and a material detector 10 is mounted on the side wall of one of the mounting plates 8. Specifically, the feeding rail unit is a feeding rail assembly 4. The system includes a detachable mounting side plate 41 mounted on top of the mounting base 3. An inclined guide rail 42 is fixed to the mounting side plate 41. Because the guide rail 42 is inclined, the material can move inside the guide rail 42, preventing slippage during feeding. A fixing plate 45 is fixed to the back of the guide rail 42, and an electric push rod 46 is mounted on the fixing plate 45. The telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 46 is located within a push-material notch 421 on the side wall of the guide rail 42. An inclined guide plate 47 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting side plate 41. In use, the vibrator 2 provides power for the movement of the material on the feeding rail unit. A color detector 9 and a material detector 10 are installed above the feeding rail unit to... Figure 1 As shown, when the long cylindrical material reaches the detection position in a flat position, the color recognition at both ends of the material is used to determine whether the material orientation is correct. Then, the electric push rod 46 pushes out the material with the wrong orientation, which can remove materials with different orientations and ensure that the material orientation and position are consistent when outputting.
[0028] Furthermore, the guide rail 42 is L-shaped, and an upper limit plate 43 and a side limit plate 44 are installed on the inner wall of the guide rail 42 near one end; by setting the upper limit plate 43 and the side limit plate 44, the material is restricted from moving to the end of the guide rail 42, thereby ensuring that the material can accurately enter the subsequent equipment.
[0029] Example 2:
[0030] The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the modification of the feeding rail unit to accommodate the conveying of elliptical materials. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 4The feeding rail unit can also be specifically a second feeding rail assembly 5. The second feeding rail assembly 5 includes a second mounting side plate 51 that is detachably mounted on the top of the mounting base 3. An inclined guide rail 52 is fixedly connected to the second mounting side plate 51. An outwardly inclined baffle is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the second guide rail 52. A material passage gap is left between the baffle and the bottom of the second guide rail 52. The second guide rail 52 is "L" shaped, and an upper limit plate 54 and a side limit plate 55 are installed on the inner wall of the second guide rail 52 near one end. An inclined guide plate 56 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the second mounting side plate 51. In one step, the bottom of the guide rail 2 52 is provided with a material distribution notch 521 located on one side of the baffle; similarly, the vibrator 2 provides power for the material to move on the feeding rail unit. In use, when the elliptical material moves on the guide rail 2 52, it first passes through the baffle, which removes some of the elliptical material that is in the wrong position. Then, when the elliptical material passes through the material distribution notch 521, the change in the roughness of the bottom surface of the material removes the elliptical material on the reverse side, leaving only the elliptical material facing up. Then the elliptical material can continue to be conveyed to the rear.
[0031] Example 3:
[0032] The difference from Embodiments 1 and 2 lies in the modification of the feeding rail unit to adapt to the conveying of short cylindrical materials. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 The feeding rail unit can also be specifically a feeding rail assembly 3 6. The feeding rail assembly 3 6 includes a mounting side plate 3 61 detachably mounted on the top of the mounting base 3. An inclined guide rail 3 62 is fixedly connected to the mounting side plate 3 61. An inclined guide plate 3 64 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting side plate 3 61. Specifically, the rail 3 consists of a front feeding section 621 and a rear feeding section 622. The front feeding section 621 has an inverted "V" shaped cross-section and a through hole 6211 at the bottom. The rear feeding section 622 has a cross-section... It has a "U" shaped structure, and an upper limit plate 63 is installed at one end of the feeding section 622. Similarly, the vibrator 2 provides power for the movement of the material on the feeding rail unit. When in use, the short cylindrical material can move along the guide rail 62. Since the back of the short cylindrical material is closed and the front is open, and its back is heavier, when it enters the feeding rear end, under the action of gravity and vibration, the short cylindrical material with the back facing up is removed, and only the short cylindrical material with the opening facing up is retained. Then the short cylindrical material can continue to be conveyed to the rear.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
