Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ball conveying technology, specifically a buffered and energy-saving circulating ball conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In bearing manufacturing enterprises and automotive slide rail production enterprises, the installation of steel ball conveying is mostly carried out manually or by automatic or semi-automatic single steel ball conveying methods, which are inefficient and generate a large impact during steel ball conveying. Therefore, it is necessary to use special ball conveying equipment to convey steel balls.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN218114015U discloses an automatic steel ball material conveying device. This device mainly uses an inclined single-row slide to allow grinding balls to enter the conveying track one by one for sorting and conveying, saving a lot of manpower and material resources and improving conveying efficiency. After sorting, they enter the turnover box for automatic handling and collection, saving manpower and reducing production costs. The use of large and small sorting frames to convey products can effectively prevent grinding balls of different sizes from mixing, improving work efficiency. However, in actual use, the device still has the following defects:

[0004] The aforementioned patent mainly uses an automatic conveying device to sort and transport grinding balls into a conveying track. While this structure saves manpower and resources to some extent, it greatly increases the consumption of driving force and the demand for device operation costs. Furthermore, it is difficult to automatically sort and transport grinding balls according to their size during sorting, which increases the limitations of the sorting structure and reduces conveying efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the second inclined plate is provided with a rubber plate opposite to the vertical plane of the buffer chamber, and one side of the rubber plate is provided with an inclined guide plate. Multiple sets of the inclined guide plates are staggered at the bottom of the first inclined plate to facilitate the guidance of the conveyed steel balls.

[0010] Preferably, the multiple sets of material distribution ports and material guide troughs are of the same number and interconnected. The multiple sets of material distribution ports are progressively widened from top to bottom. The multiple sets of material guide troughs and discharge ports are of the same number and interconnected. The progressively widened structure is used to classify and transport steel balls of different sizes.

[0011] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes two sets of sleeves, each set being installed on the top of one side of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate respectively. Sleeves are symmetrically fitted on the outer sides of the two sleeves, and a second spring is provided between the sleeves for elastic connection.

The two buffer plates move horizontally inside the mounting chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the top and bottom of the two buffer plates on opposite sides are provided with telescopic rods, and the telescopic rods are connected to the guide rods. The two buffer plates can move horizontally on both sides inside the buffer chamber, which facilitates the use of the telescopic rods to make the buffer plates move horizontally in a limited manner.

[0015] The present invention provides a buffered and energy-saving circulating ball feeding device, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The interconnected conveying bin, buffer bin, and distribution bin facilitate the guiding and conveying of spherical materials using a vertically downward conveying pipe. At the same time, the buffer components on both sides of the buffer bin in the middle position elastically dampen and buffer the impact force of the steel balls being conveyed vertically downward. Thus, under the damping and buffering effect of the two sets of relatively coordinated buffer plates on the contacting balls, wear of the balls is avoided during the cyclic conveying, improving the stability of spherical material conveying.

[0017] 2. Through the structural design of the material distribution mechanism, the upper and lower layers of the inclined guide plate and the guide trough work together to guide and block spherical materials of different sizes, causing them to roll and slide. This facilitates the automatic sliding of matching spherical materials into the material distribution opening and into the guide trough of the designated conveying area. This eliminates the need for the existing drive force structure, saves energy consumption of the conveying device, and realizes automatic conveying and classification. At the same time, the vibration of the buffer component in contact with the steel balls causes the first and second inclined plates to vibrate and displace synchronously, causing the conveyed steel balls to vibrate and further promoting the classification effect during the steel ball conveying process.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a circulating ball feeding device with buffer and energy saving, comprising a conveying chamber 1, a buffer chamber 2 connected to the bottom of the conveying chamber 1, a material distribution chamber 3 connected to the bottom of the buffer chamber 2, a plurality of discharge ports 4 opened at the bottom end of the material distribution chamber 3, and installation chambers 6 provided on both sides of the buffer chamber 2. A first spring 7 and a guide rod 8 are respectively provided on the top and bottom of one side of the two installation chambers 6. The installation chambers 6 are respectively provided with a material distribution mechanism 5 and a buffer assembly 9.

[0025] The material distribution mechanism 5 includes a first inclined plate 51 and a second inclined plate 52. The first inclined plate 51 is slidably provided on the outer side of the two guide rods 8, and the second inclined plate 52 is slidably provided on the outer side of the other two guide rods 8. The first inclined plate 51 extends into the interior of the material distribution bin 3 and is provided with multiple sets of inclined guide plates 54. The bottom of the second inclined plate 52 is provided with multiple sets of guide grooves 53. The interior of the second inclined plate 52 is provided with multiple sets of material distribution openings 55 that cooperate with the guide grooves 53.

[0026] The first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 are respectively connected to the first spring 7. The top of the conveying chamber 1 is provided with a feed inlet. The inside of the conveying chamber 1 is provided with a material distribution conveying trough. The top and one side of the material distribution chamber 3 are provided with through slots, and the through slots are respectively adapted to the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52. It is convenient to use the through slots to make the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 extend into the material distribution chamber 3 for material distribution.

[0027] The buffer assembly 9 includes two sets of sleeve rods 91. The two sleeve rods 91 are respectively installed on the top of one side of the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52. The outer sides of the two sleeve rods 91 are symmetrically fitted with sleeves 92, and the sleeves 92 are elastically connected with a second spring 93. The side of the two sleeves 92 on the same side that are close to each other is hinged with a hinge plate 95. The side of the two hinge plates 95 on the same side that are close to each other is hinged with a buffer plate 94. The two buffer plates 94 can move horizontally inside the mounting chamber 6.

[0028] The top and bottom of the two buffer plates 94, which are far apart from each other, are provided with telescopic rods, and the telescopic rods are connected to the guide rods 8. The two buffer plates 94 can move horizontally on both sides inside the buffer chamber 2, which makes it easy to use the telescopic rods to make the buffer plates 94 move horizontally in a limited position.

[0029] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, the top of the second inclined plate 52 is provided with a rubber plate opposite to the vertical plane of the buffer chamber 2, and one side of the rubber plate is provided with an inclined guide plate. Multiple sets of inclined guide plates 54 are staggered at the bottom of the first inclined plate 51. The number of multiple material distribution ports 55 and the material guide troughs 53 are the same and interconnected. The multiple material distribution ports 55 are progressively widened from top to bottom. The number of multiple sets of material guide troughs 53 and the discharge ports 4 are opposite and interconnected. By setting a specified number of inclined guide plates 54, material distribution ports 55 and material guides... The guide trough 53 and discharge port 4 guide the classified steel balls into the designated area and finally discharge them from the discharge port 4, completing the automatic classification and discharge work in the steel ball conveying process. In actual conveying, the steel balls are blocked by the staggered inclined guide plates 54, allowing them to slide down the inclined surface under the blocking action of the inclined guide plates 54. When the sliding steel ball matches the size of the trough of the material distribution port 55, it can automatically slide into the material distribution port 55 and finally be discharged into the guide trough 53 for conveying and discharge.

[0030] Working principle: This is a buffered, energy-saving circulating ball feeding device;

[0031] When the automatic conveying of steel balls is carried out, the steel balls can be poured into the conveying bin 1, causing them to slide down in a vertical direction and directly impact the buffer assembly 9 on the side of the buffer bin 2. At this time, the contacting steel balls are subjected to force by a set of buffer plates 94. Simultaneously, under the movable connection of the symmetrically arranged hinged plates 95, the sleeve 92 is driven to slide on the sleeve rod 91, and elastic shock is absorbed by the second spring 93. At the same time, the first inclined plate 51 is driven to slide horizontally on the outside of the guide rod 8, and secondary shock is absorbed by the elastic connection of the first spring 7. This realizes the shock absorption and buffering work of a set of buffer plates 94 on the contacting steel balls. At the same time, the ball material rebounds in the opposite direction onto another set of buffer plates 94. Through the buffering cooperation of the other set of buffer plates 94 with the same structure, the conveyed steel balls are evenly buffered by the two sets of symmetrically arranged buffer plates 94. Meanwhile, the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 move synchronously under the action of vibration, allowing the steel balls to fall into the sorting bin 3 with the cooperation of the buffer assembly 9 set inside the buffer bin 2 for the sorting and conveying of steel balls.

[0032] The falling steel balls are caught by the second inclined plate 52, and the inclined structure allows the steel balls to slide downwards. At this time, the inclined guide plate 54 causes the steel balls to slide in the designated path. At the same time, the steel balls that match the material distribution port 55 automatically slide into the guide trough 53 in the designated area, thereby realizing the classification of steel balls of different sizes. Under the conveying of the guide trough 53, the steel balls are finally discharged through the discharge port 4. The first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 are integrated with the buffer structure of the buffer assembly 9 so that the vibration absorbed by the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 is synchronously transmitted to the conveyed steel balls, causing the steel balls to vibrate synchronously when falling, further improving the steel ball classification efficiency and avoiding blockage during steel ball conveying. This structure eliminates the existing driving force setting and consumption, and greatly improves the working efficiency of steel ball conveying through the integrated structure of shock absorption structure and classification structure.
