Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable feeding mechanism, and more particularly to an adjustable feeding mechanism for finished product assembly, belonging to the field of camera assembly technology. Background Technology
[0002] The adjustable feeding device for camera assembly is a specialized piece of equipment that integrates automated conveying, multi-dimensional attitude adjustment, and active alignment and adaptation functions. Through mechanical structure and intelligent control, it accurately conveys camera components to be assembled (such as lenses and lens frames) to the assembly station, providing a stable and continuous material supply for subsequent assembly processes.
[0003] There are still shortcomings in the existing technology:
[0004] Existing finished product assembly feeding mechanisms typically involve manual placement of camera assembly components onto a conveyor belt and transport to the assembly station. However, manual placement can lead to inconsistent workpiece spacing, causing feeding delays and frequent equipment downtime. This compromises optical assembly precision, resulting in blurred or out-of-focus images, and can also cause welding short circuits, misalignment during assembly, and reduced yield.
[0005] To address this issue, an adjustable feeding mechanism for finished product assembly was designed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an adjustable feeding mechanism for finished product assembly, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0008] An adjustable feeding mechanism for finished product assembly includes a conveying device. A feeding plate and a baffle are respectively installed on both sides of the end of the conveying device. The ends of the feeding plate and the baffle near the conveying device are provided with slots. A feeding port is provided at the top of one end of the feeding plate. Limiting components are provided on the feeding plate and the baffle. A rotating shaft is evenly installed between the feeding plate and the baffle. The two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively rotatably connected to rollers. A fixing plate is fixed between the ends of the feeding plate and the baffle away from the conveying device. A flow guide is provided in the middle of the fixing plate. An air pipe is installed on one side of the flow guide and an air pump is installed at the other end of the air pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting strip and a movable plate. The limiting strip is located on the side of the baffle close to the idler roller, and the movable plate is located above the feed plate. One end of the movable plate is fixed with an mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the feed plate and one side of the fixed plate. A limiting groove is opened at the bottom of the movable plate, and an opening is opened inside the limiting groove at a position aligned vertically with the feed inlet.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the card slot is covered with a cushioning rubber pad, and the thickness of the rubber pad is 2-5mm.
[0011] Preferably, a guide ramp is provided at the inlet of the feed inlet, and the angle between the ramp and the horizontal plane is 30-45°.
[0012] Preferred option: The trachea is made of PU high-pressure hose, and the outside of the hose is covered with a metal corrugated protective sleeve.
[0013] Preferably, mounting bases are installed at the bottom of the conveying device and the bottom of the feed plate, and anti-slip pads are provided at the bottom of the mounting bases.
[0014] Preferably, the limiting strip is made of elastic metal sheet material, and the connection end with the baffle is fixed by a spring hinge, and the end of the limiting strip extends to the top of the transmission device.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes the combined use of a transmission device, a feeding plate, a baffle, a slot, a feeding port, a rotating shaft, a roller, a fixed plate, a guide shroud, an air pipe, an air pump, and a mounting base. The airflow from the air pump passes through the guide shroud and, in conjunction with the rolling friction of the roller, pushes the workpiece towards the transmission device and ensures close contact. This precisely unifies the workpiece spacing, reduces workpiece damage through rolling friction, and enhances arrangement stability through airflow. The fully automated process significantly improves feeding efficiency and spacing consistency, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processing and mitigating the risk of human error.
[0017] 2. This utility model uses the combination of limiting strips, movable plates, openings, limiting grooves and mounting plates. The movable plate and limiting strips effectively prevent the workpiece from tipping over during airflow, and the top limit of the transmission device prevents the workpiece from falling off. The multiple limiting design greatly improves the stability of feeding, reduces jamming or falling off due to abnormal posture, provides a stable workpiece posture for automated processing, and ensures efficient and continuous operation of the process.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable feeding mechanism for finished product assembly, including a conveying device 1, which is a belt conveyor, including a drive motor, a transmission belt and a tensioning mechanism. The drive motor is connected to the belt roller through a reducer, and the transmission speed can be adjusted by a frequency converter.
[0032] Feeding plates 2 and baffles 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the end of the conveying device 1. The feeding plates 2 and baffles 3 are provided with slots 4 at the ends near the end of the conveying device 1. The top of one end of the feeding plate 2 is provided with a feeding port 8. Limiting components 5 are provided on the feeding plates 2 and baffles 3. Rotating shafts 6 are evenly installed between the feeding plates 2 and baffles 3. The two ends of the rotating shafts 6 are respectively rotatably connected to idlers 7. The feeding end of the conveying device 1 is aligned with the idlers 7 at the discharge end of the feeding plates 2 and baffles 3, and the surface of the conveyor belt is flush with the top of the idlers 7 to ensure seamless transition of the workpiece. A fixing plate 9 is fixed between the ends of the feeding plates 2 and baffles 3 away from the conveying device 1. A flow guide shroud 10 is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 9. An air pipe 11 is installed on one side of the flow guide shroud 10, and an air pump 12 is installed at the other end of the air pipe 11.
[0033] The workpiece is placed through the feed inlet 8 onto the idler roller 7 between the feed plate 2 and the baffle 3, so that both ends of the workpiece contact the idler roller 7 respectively, and the two roll and rub against each other. The air pump 12 is started, and the air pump 12 delivers air through the air pipe 11 to the guide shroud 10, and blows it to the workpiece position through the guide shroud 10. Under the action of the rolling friction between the workpiece and the idler roller 7, the airflow pushes the workpiece towards the conveyor device 1. Then, new workpieces are put in one after another to make the workpieces stick together tightly. Then the conveyor device 1 is started, and the conveyor device 1 transports the workpieces at a uniform speed. Compared with manual placement, it can better adjust the spacing between workpieces and maintain the uniformity of the workpiece spacing.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the limiting component 5 further includes a limiting strip 501 and a movable plate 502. The limiting strip 501 is located on the side of the baffle 3 near the idler roller 7, and the movable plate 502 is located above the feed plate 2. One end of the movable plate 502 is fixed with a mounting plate 505, and the mounting plate 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed plate 2 and one side of the fixed plate 9. A limiting groove 504 is opened at the bottom of the movable plate 502, and an opening 503 is opened inside the limiting groove 504 at a position aligned vertically with the feed port 8.
[0037] The movable plate 502 is installed on top of the feed plate 2 via the mounting plate 505. The limiting groove 504 at the bottom of the movable plate 502 forms a certain height gap with the top of the feed plate 2, allowing part of the workpiece, such as a wire, to pass through. The limiting strip 501 on one side of the baffle 3 limits the other end of the workpiece to prevent it from tipping over during airflow. At the same time, it can limit the top of the workpiece on the transmission device 1 to prevent the workpiece from falling off.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a buffer rubber pad is further attached to the inner wall of the slot 4, and the thickness of the rubber pad is 2-5mm.
[0039] The buffer rubber pad increases the friction when the transmission device 1 contacts the slot 4, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the transmission device 1, the feed plate 2, and the baffle 3.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a guide ramp is further provided at the inlet of the feed port 8, and the angle between the ramp and the horizontal plane is 30-45°.
[0041] The guide ramp reduces the difficulty of placing the workpiece, guiding it to slide naturally into the feed inlet 8 along the ramp, reducing manual alignment operations, avoiding jamming caused by placement angle deviation, and improving the smoothness of feeding.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the air tube 11 is further made of PU high-pressure hose, and a metal corrugated protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the tube body.
[0043] PU hoses ensure the flexibility and high pressure resistance of airflow delivery, while metal corrugated protective sleeves effectively resist friction and compression damage in the workshop environment, extending the service life of the air hose and ensuring a stable airflow supply.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a mounting base 13 is further installed on the bottom of both the bottom of the conveying device 1 and the bottom of the feed plate 2, and an anti-slip pad is provided on the bottom of the mounting base 13.
[0045] Mounting base 13 enhances the overall support stability of the equipment, and the anti-slip pad increases the friction with the ground to prevent displacement caused by vibration during equipment operation, thus ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the feeding mechanism and the downstream station.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the limiting strip 501 is made of elastic metal sheet material, and the connection end with the baffle 3 is fixed by a spring hinge, and the end of the limiting strip 501 extends to the top of the transmission device 1.
[0047] The elastic metal sheet, combined with the spring hinge, achieves self-adaptive limiting, which not only prevents the workpiece from tipping over but also prevents excessive squeezing damage; the end extension design forms full protection to prevent the workpiece from falling off during transfer and switching, and improves posture stability.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.
[0050] First, the movable plate 502 is fixed to the top of the feed plate 2 by the mounting plate 505, so that the bottom limiting groove 504 of the movable plate 502 forms a gap with the feed plate 2, allowing the workpiece to pass through; the elastic limiting strip 501 on one side of the baffle 3 limits the upper part of the other end of the workpiece, and the top of the transmission device 1 is simultaneously limited.
[0051] The workpiece is placed on the roller 7 between the feed plate 2 and the baffle 3 through the feed port 8, and the two ends of the workpiece form rolling contact with the roller 7.
[0052] When the air pump 12 is started, the airflow blows the workpiece through the air pipe 11 and the guide shroud 10. Under the rolling friction of the roller 7, the workpiece moves toward the transmission device 1 and fits tightly, achieving uniform spacing.
[0053] The limiting groove 504 and the limiting strip 501 prevent tipping, and the top of the conveying device 1 prevents detachment, ensuring stable transport of the workpiece.
[0054] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
