Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding devices, specifically relating to a wax pellet feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional wax pellet transport devices typically rely on manual replenishment when material is insufficient, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, they lack a precise single-particle replenishment control mechanism. During the return process, due to the need to open return holes, wax pellets are prone to being discharged from the return holes during the falling packing process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a wax pellet feeding device, which effectively solves the problem that traditional wax pellet transport devices usually rely on manual feeding when there is a shortage of material, resulting in low efficiency. At the same time, they lack a precise single-particle feeding control mechanism, and the wax pellets are prone to being discharged from the return hole during the falling filling process because the return hole needs to be opened.

[0004] One embodiment of this utility model provides a wax pellet feeding device, comprising:

[0005] Mounting rack;

[0006] A storage mechanism, which is mounted on the mounting frame;

[0007] A material distribution mechanism is installed on the material storage mechanism;

[0008] A storage bin assembly, which is mounted on the dispensing mechanism;

[0009] A material blockage detection component is installed on the material storage mechanism;

[0010] The material storage mechanism is equipped with a feeding mechanism, a first bending region and a second bending region, and the material distribution mechanism is equipped with an inclined plate located above the first bending region.

[0011] This utility model discloses a wax pellet replenishment device. A storage mechanism and a distribution mechanism are fixed by a mounting frame. Wax pellets are first poured in batches from the storage hopper assembly. Several wax pellets then enter the distribution mechanism from the storage hopper assembly. The distribution mechanism feeds the wax pellets in groups. The wax pellets fall at an angle via an inclined plate. Due to the Coriolis effect, the wax pellets, due to inertia, first contact the inner wall of one side of the first curved area, thus falling close to this inner wall. Therefore, a return port can be opened on the other side of this inner wall, preventing the wax pellets from passing through the return port. The wax pellets finally fall above the replenishment mechanism. When external detection indicates the need for replenishment, the replenishment mechanism is activated. When wax pellets in a single storage unit accumulate to the return port, newly fed wax pellets automatically flow back through the return port. When the blockage detection component detects that wax pellets in all storage units of the storage mechanism have accumulated to the return port, the distribution mechanism temporarily stops feeding to avoid excessive consumption of materials in the storage hopper.

[0012] In one embodiment, the storage mechanism includes a plurality of storage components;

[0013] Several storage components are mounted in a regular array on the mounting frame.

[0014] In one embodiment, an observation hole is provided on one side of the storage component, and the blockage detection component is located on one side of the observation hole;

[0015] The storage component has a return hole on the side away from the observation hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the material distribution mechanism includes an installation component, a driving component, a rolling mechanism, and several material distribution blocks.

[0017] In one embodiment, the mounting member is disposed on the storage mechanism, and the mounting member is also fixedly connected to the mounting frame.

[0018] In one embodiment, the drive is mounted on one side of the mounting member.

[0019] In one embodiment, the rolling mechanism is mounted on the mounting member and is connected to the driving member.

[0020] In one embodiment, a plurality of material dispensing blocks are fixedly mounted on the rolling mechanism;

[0021] Several material collection troughs are formed between each two material distribution blocks;

[0022] The mounting component has several discharge holes, and the inclined plate is mounted on the discharge holes, which communicate with the first bending area.

[0023] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder;

[0024] Each of the storage components is provided with a first cylinder and a second cylinder on one side, with the second cylinder located below the first cylinder, and a storage channel is provided inside the storage component;

[0025] A first baffle is fixedly provided at the output end of the first cylinder;

[0026] The output end of the second cylinder is fixedly provided with a second baffle plate, and both the first baffle plate and the second baffle plate are located in the material storage channel;

[0027] A feeding space is formed between the first baffle and the second baffle;

[0028] The first cylinder and the second cylinder include a feeding state;

[0029] When the first cylinder and the second cylinder are in the feeding state, the first cylinder drives the first baffle to disengage from the storage channel, and one wax ball descends into the feeding space. At this time, the first cylinder moves the first baffle back into the storage channel and separates the other wax balls except those in the feeding space. The second cylinder is then activated, and the second cylinder drives the second baffle to disengage from the storage channel, completing the feeding action.

[0030] In one embodiment, the storage bin assembly includes a storage bin body, a photoelectric sensor, and a plurality of discharge ports;

[0031] The storage bin is mounted on the material distribution mechanism;

[0032] The detection photoelectric sensor is installed on the storage silo body;

[0033] The discharge port is located at the bottom of the storage silo.

[0034] The wax pellet feeding device provided by the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The feeding mechanism feeds the wax balls in groups. When feeding the wax balls, they fall at an angle through the inclined plate. According to the Coriolis effect, the wax balls fall and first come into contact with the inner wall of one side of the first curved area due to inertia, thus falling close to the inner wall of this curve. Therefore, the wax balls will not pass through the return port when falling.

[0036] 2. When the external photoelectric sensor detects a material shortage, the first cylinder is activated, causing the first baffle to disengage from the storage channel. One wax pellet descends into the replenishment space. At this time, the first cylinder moves the first baffle back into the storage channel and separates the other wax pellets from the replenishment space. The second cylinder is then activated, causing the second baffle to disengage from the storage channel. The wax pellet falls onto the external material-deficient transport mechanism, thus completing the replenishment action. This ensures that one wax pellet falls each time, reducing manual labor and making the overall replenishment convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0065] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a wax pellet feeding device, comprising:

[0066] Mounting bracket 100;

[0067] A storage mechanism 200 is mounted on the mounting frame 100;

[0068] The material distribution mechanism 300 is installed on the material storage mechanism 200;

[0069] A storage bin assembly 400 is mounted on the material distribution mechanism 300;

[0070] A material blockage detection component 500 is installed on the material storage mechanism 200;

[0071] The material storage mechanism 200 is provided with a feeding mechanism 600, a first bending region 700 and a second bending region 800, and a tilting plate 900 is provided on the material distribution mechanism 300, with the tilting plate 900 located above the first bending region 700.

[0072] This utility model discloses a wax pellet feeding device. A storage mechanism 200 and a dispensing mechanism 300 are fixed by a mounting bracket 100. Wax pellets are first poured in batches from the storage hopper assembly 400. Several wax pellets then enter the dispensing mechanism 300 from the storage hopper assembly 400. The dispensing mechanism 300 dispenses the wax pellets in groups. During dispensing, the wax pellets fall at an angle via an inclined plate 900. According to the Coriolis effect, due to inertia, the falling wax pellets first contact the inner wall of one side of the first curved area 700, thus falling close to this inner wall. Therefore, it can... A return port is opened on the other side of this inner wall. When the wax balls fall, they will not pass through the return port. The wax balls fall to the top above the replenishment mechanism 600. When external detection requires replenishment, the replenishment mechanism 600 is activated to replenish the material. When the wax balls in a single storage unit 210 are stacked to the return port 230, the newly dropped wax balls will automatically flow back through the return port 230. When the blockage detection component 500 finds that the wax balls in all storage units 210 of the storage mechanism 200 are stacked to the return port, the distribution mechanism 300 will temporarily stop feeding to avoid excessive consumption of the material in the storage bin 410.

[0073] It should be noted that the second bending region 800 only serves as a material guide; the function is provided by the first bending region 700.

[0074] In one embodiment, the storage mechanism 200 includes a plurality of storage components 210;

[0075] Several storage components 210 are mounted in a regular array on the mounting frame 100;

[0076] An observation hole 220 is provided on one side of the storage component 210, and the blockage detection component 500 is located on one side of the observation hole 220.

[0077] The storage component 210 has a return hole 230 on the side away from the observation hole 220.

[0078] In this embodiment, the observation hole 220 is used to facilitate the material blockage detection component 500 to detect whether the storage component is blocked. When all blockages are detected, the material distribution mechanism 300 temporarily stops feeding to avoid excessive consumption of the material in the storage bin 410. When the wax ball in a single storage component 210 is blocked, the wax ball is automatically guided to the external return mechanism through the return hole 230. According to the Coriolis effect, the wax ball falls and contacts the inner wall of one side of the first curved area 700 due to inertia, thus falling close to this inner wall. Therefore, a return port can be opened on the other side of this inner wall, so that the wax ball will not pass through the return port when it falls.

[0079] Furthermore, the number of storage units 210 is consistent with the number of wax pellets transported in batches from outside, so that when there is a shortage of wax pellets transported from outside, they can be replenished one by one, as explained here.

[0080] In one embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 300 includes a mounting component 310, a driving component 320, a rolling mechanism 330, and a plurality of material distribution blocks 340;

[0081] The mounting component 310 is disposed on the material storage mechanism 200, and the mounting component 310 is also fixedly connected to the mounting frame 100;

[0082] The drive component 320 is mounted on one side of the mounting component 310;

[0083] The rolling mechanism 330 is mounted on the mounting member 310, and the rolling mechanism 330 is connected to the driving member 320;

[0084] Several material distribution blocks 340 are fixedly mounted on the rolling mechanism 330;

[0085] Several material collection troughs 341 are formed between every two material distribution blocks 340;

[0086] The mounting component 310 has a plurality of discharge holes 311, and the inclined plate 900 is mounted on the discharge holes 311. The discharge holes 311 communicate with the first bending region 700.

[0087] In this embodiment, the mounting component 310 is used to install on the storage mechanism 200 and to support the drive component 320, the rolling mechanism 330, and the distributing block 340. The drive component 320 is used to drive the rolling mechanism 330 to start. The rolling mechanism 330 drives several distributing blocks 340 to rotate, thereby continuously distributing and discharging materials. The wax balls will fill each collection trough 341, thereby discharging the materials. Each collection trough 341 can only hold one wax ball. The discharge hole 311 is used for discharging the wax balls. During the discharging process, the wax balls will pass through the inclined plate 900. The inclined plate 900 causes the wax balls to roll towards the inner wall of one side of the first curved area 700. By inertia, they fall along this inner wall, so the wax balls will not pass through the return port when they fall. This inner wall is the inner wall on the side away from the return port, as explained here.

[0088] In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 600 includes a first cylinder 610 and a second cylinder 620;

[0089] Each of the storage components 210 is provided with a first cylinder 610 and a second cylinder 620 on one side, the second cylinder 620 being located below the first cylinder 610, and a storage channel 211 being provided inside the storage component 210.

[0090] A first baffle plate 611 is fixedly provided at the output end of the first cylinder 610;

[0091] The output end of the second cylinder 620 is fixedly provided with a second baffle 621, and the first baffle 611 and the second baffle 621 are both located in the material storage channel 211;

[0092] A feeding space 622 is formed between the first baffle 611 and the second baffle 621;

[0093] The first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 include a feeding state;

[0094] When the first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 are in the feeding state, the first cylinder 610 drives the first baffle 611 to disengage from the storage channel 211, and one wax ball descends into the feeding space 622. At this time, the first cylinder 610 moves the first baffle 611 back into the storage channel 211 and separates the other wax balls except those in the feeding space 622. The second cylinder 620 is then activated, and the second cylinder 620 drives the second baffle 621 to disengage from the storage channel 211, completing the feeding action.

[0095] In this embodiment, there may be a shortage of wax pellets during feeding, requiring replenishment. Normally, this is done manually. With this device, when an external photoelectric sensor detects a shortage, the first cylinder 610 is activated, causing the first baffle 611 to disengage from the storage channel 211. One wax pellet descends into the replenishment space 622. The first cylinder 610 then moves the first baffle 611 back into the storage channel 211, separating it from the other wax pellets in the replenishment space 622. The second cylinder 620 is then activated, causing the second baffle 621 to disengage from the storage channel 211. The wax pellet falls onto the external conveyor mechanism where there is a shortage, thus completing the replenishment process. Through these steps, only one wax pellet needs to be replenished each time.

[0096] In one embodiment, the storage bin assembly 400 includes a storage bin body 410, a photoelectric sensor 420, and a plurality of discharge holes 430;

[0097] The storage bin 410 is mounted on the material distribution mechanism 300;

[0098] The detection photocell 420 is installed on the storage silo 410;

[0099] The discharge port 430 is located at the bottom of the storage hopper 410.

[0100] In this embodiment, the photoelectric sensor 420 is used to detect whether there is a shortage of material in the storage bin 410, the discharge hole 430 is used to discharge the wax pellets, and the storage bin 410 is used to accumulate the wax pellets.

[0101] The working principle of this utility model:

[0102] The storage mechanism 200 and the distribution mechanism 300 are fixed by the mounting bracket 100. Wax balls are first poured in batches from the storage hopper assembly 400. Several wax balls then enter the distribution mechanism 300 from the storage hopper assembly 400. The distribution mechanism 300 feeds the wax balls in groups. The wax balls fall at an angle via the inclined plate 900. According to the Coriolis effect, due to inertia, the falling wax balls first contact the inner wall of one side of the first curved area 700, thus falling close to this inner wall. Therefore, a return port can be opened on the other side of this inner wall, preventing the wax balls from passing through the return port. The wax balls finally fall above the replenishment mechanism 600. When the external photoelectric sensor detects a lack of material, the first cylinder 610 is activated, causing the first baffle 611 to disengage from the storage channel 211. One of the wax balls... The wax pellet descends into the replenishment space 622. At this time, the first cylinder 610 moves the first baffle 611 into the storage channel 211 and separates the wax pellets from the other wax pellets in the replenishment space 622. The second cylinder 620 is activated, and the second cylinder 621 drives the second baffle 621 to disengage from the storage channel 211. The wax pellet falls onto the external material-deficient transport mechanism, thus completing the replenishment action (so that only one wax pellet is replenished each time). When the wax pellets in a single storage unit 210 are stacked to the return port 230, the newly dropped wax pellets automatically flow back through the return port 230. When the blockage detection component 500 detects that the wax pellets in all storage units 210 of the storage mechanism 200 are stacked to the return port, the material distribution mechanism 300 temporarily stops feeding to avoid excessive consumption of the material in the storage bin 410.

All equivalent structural transformations made using the paper parts and drawings of the present utility model under the inventive concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
