Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reed processing technology, specifically to an automated reed feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The reed is a core component of a loom, made of metal (such as stainless steel or high-carbon steel) or special materials. The reed teeth are arranged to form gaps, controlling the warp yarn distribution density and fabric width. During weft insertion, the reed pushes the weft yarn towards the weft end, ensuring a tight fabric structure. The purpose of the reed leveling device is to ensure that the reed, after processes such as stamping and polishing, can bend, warp, or waviness, meeting the required flatness. The feeding mechanism of the reed leveling device has a significant impact on its leveling efficiency.

[0003] Some existing reed feeding mechanisms use a vibratory feeder. The reeds are placed in the vibratory feeder, and a vibratory motor rotates the feeder, causing the reeds to be arranged and transported in a spiral track. This feeding method may cause collisions between reeds or between reeds and the inner wall of the vibratory feeder during transport, which can easily damage the reeds. At the same time, the transport speed of the reeds cannot be controlled, affecting the feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an automated reed feeding mechanism. The mechanism uses a motor-driven crank-connecting rod mechanism to realize the periodic movement of the feeding plate, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the reed leveling device, reducing the damage caused by reed collisions, and greatly improving the reed processing efficiency. This can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated reed feeding mechanism, including a feeding bin, a feeding guide rail fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding bin, a sliding groove provided inside the feeding guide rail, and a feeding component;

[0006] The feeding assembly includes guide rails, a feeding seat, a sliding plate, a feeding plate, and sliding columns. The guide rails are symmetrically fixed to the left inner wall of the feeding bin. A feeding seat is slidably connected between the two guide rails. Two sliding columns are fixedly connected to the rear end of the right side surface of the feeding seat. Two sliding openings are provided at the left end of the sliding plate. The interior of each sliding opening is slidably connected to the outer surface of the adjacent sliding column. A feeding plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the right side surface of the sliding plate. An arc surface is provided at the upper end of the front surface of the feeding plate. The upper end of the feeding plate is slidably connected to the interior of the sliding groove. The periodic movement of the feeding plate is achieved by a motor-driven crank-connecting rod mechanism, realizing automatic feeding of the reed leveling device, reducing damage caused by reed collisions, and greatly improving reed processing efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding assembly also includes springs, all of which are fixedly connected between the top wall of the sliding plate and the right end of the feeding seat. The springs are movably sleeved on the outer surface of the adjacent sliding column to realize the reset of the feeding plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding assembly also includes a driving component, which includes a turntable, a connecting rod, and a fixed shaft. The fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the front end of the right side surface of the feeding seat. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed shaft. The driving shaft is rotatably connected to the front end of the left inner wall of the feeding hopper. The turntable is fixedly connected to the right end of the driving shaft. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the right end of the turntable. The middle of the connecting shaft and the front end of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to provide driving force for the longitudinal periodic movement of the feeding plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a controller is installed on the right side of the feeding hopper. The input terminal of the controller is electrically connected to an external power source to control the operation of the motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving component also includes a motor, which is located at the front end of the left side surface of the feeding hopper. The right end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to the left end of the drive shaft, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the controller to provide driving force for the rotation of the drive shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the feeding guide rail is connected to two symmetrically distributed limiting seats by evenly distributed screws. The inner surfaces of the two limiting seats are provided with material grooves to realize the storage of reeds.

[0012] Furthermore, the right end of the feeding bin is connected to a bin door by two evenly distributed screws, and the rear end of the feeding bin is fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed mounting bases. The left and right ends of the mounting bases are provided with evenly distributed mounting holes to achieve stable installation of the feeding mechanism and at the same time to seal and protect the drive components.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This automated reed feeding mechanism has the following advantages:

[0014] The feed plate is periodically moved by a crank-connecting rod mechanism driven by a motor. When the feed plate moves backward, the right-angled surface at the top of the feed plate pushes the bottom reed backward, thus feeding the reed. When the feed plate moves forward, the arc surface of the feed plate contacts the reed. Due to the obstruction of the reed, the feed plate moves downward, and the spring is compressed. When the feed plate returns to its initial position, the spring force pushes the feed plate upward, so that the feed plate can push the bottom reed backward again during the next backward movement. This achieves automatic feeding of the reed leveling device, greatly improving the reed processing efficiency, preventing reed collisions and reducing damage to the reed body. At the same time, the reed feeding speed can be controlled by controlling the motor speed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an automated reed feeding mechanism, including a feeding bin 1, a feeding guide rail 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the feeding bin 1, a sliding groove 4 provided inside the feeding guide rail 3, a controller 9 provided on the right side of the feeding bin 1, the input end of the controller 9 being electrically connected to an external power supply, and also including a feeding component 2.

[0021] Feeding assembly 2 includes a guide rail 21, a feeding seat 22, a sliding plate 23, a feeding plate 24, and sliding columns 25. The guide rails 21 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the feeding bin 1. The feeding seat 22 is slidably connected between the two guide rails 21. Two sliding columns 25 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the right side surface of the feeding seat 22. The left end of the sliding plate 23 is provided with two sliding openings, the interior of which is slidably connected to the outer surface of the adjacent sliding column 25. The upper end of the right side surface of the sliding plate 23 is fixedly connected to the feeding plate 24. The upper end of the front side surface of the feeding plate 24 is provided with an arc surface. The upper end of the feeding plate 24 is slidably connected to the interior of the slide groove 4. The feeding assembly 2 also includes springs 26, which are fixedly connected between the top wall of the sliding plate 23 and the right end of the feeding seat 22. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the left side surface of the sliding plate 23, and the sliding openings are all located in the middle of the connecting plate. A support base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the right side surface of the feed seat 22. The lower ends of the sliding columns 25 are all fixedly connected to the upper ends of the support bases. The pins at the upper ends of the springs 26 are all snapped into the lower ends of the connecting plate through annular clips, and the pins at the lower ends of the springs 26 are all snapped into the upper ends of the support bases through annular clips. When the springs 26 age, the annular clips at the upper ends of the springs 26 can be separated from the lower ends of the connecting plate first, and then the sliding plate 23 can be slid upwards to disengage the sliding plate 23 from the sliding columns 25. Then, the annular clips at the lower ends of the springs 26 can be separated from the support bases to disassemble the springs 26. Finally, a new spring 26 can be installed onto the support bases and connecting plates through annular clips. To prevent the springs 26 from aging over time, the springs 26 are movably sleeved on the outer surface of adjacent sliding columns 25. The feeding assembly 2 also includes a driving component 27, which includes a turntable 272, a connecting rod 273, and a fixed shaft 274. The fixed shaft 274 is fixedly connected to the front end of the right side surface of the feeding seat 22. The connecting rod 273 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed shaft 274. The driving shaft is rotatably connected to the front end of the left inner wall of the feeding bin 1. The turntable 272 is fixedly connected to the right end of the driving shaft. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the right end of the turntable 272. The middle of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the front end of the connecting rod 273. The driving component 27 also includes a motor 271, which is located at the front end of the left side surface of the feeding bin 1. The right end of the output shaft is fixedly connected to the left end of the drive shaft. The input end of the motor 271 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 9. The controller 9 enables the motor 271 to operate. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 271 drives the drive shaft to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft drives the turntable 272. The rotation of the turntable 272 drives the connecting shaft to rotate around the central axis of the drive shaft. The rotation of the connecting shaft drives the front end of the connecting rod 273 to rotate around the central axis of the drive shaft. When the front end of the connecting rod 273 rotates backward, the connecting rod 273 pushes the feed seat 22 backward through the fixed shaft 274. The feed seat 22 slides backward between the guide rails 21. The backward movement of the feed seat 22 drives the sliding plate 23 to move backward. The backward movement of the sliding plate 23 drives the feed plate 24 to move backward. The upper end of the feed plate 24 moves backward inside the slide groove 4.The right-angled surface at the upper end of the feeding plate 24 pushes the lowest reed to move backward inside the feeding guide rail 3, thus feeding the reed. When the front end of the connecting rod 273 rotates forward, the connecting rod 273 pulls the feeding seat 22 forward through the fixed shaft 274. The feeding seat 22 slides forward between the guide rails 21. The forward movement of the feeding seat 22 drives the sliding plate 23 to move forward, which in turn drives the feeding plate 24 to move forward. The upper end of the feeding plate 24 moves forward inside the slide groove 4, and the arc surface of the feeding plate 24 contacts the reed. Due to the obstruction of the reed, the feeding plate 24... As the feed plate 24 moves downward, it causes the sliding plate 23 to move downward under the guidance of the sliding column 25. The downward movement of the sliding plate 23 compresses the spring 26. When the feed plate 24 returns to its initial position, the spring force of the spring 26 pushes the sliding plate 23 upward, which in turn causes the feed plate 24 to move upward. This allows the feed plate 24 to push the bottommost reed sheet backward again during its next backward movement. As the front end of the connecting rod 273 rotates periodically around the central axis of the drive shaft, the feed plate 24 moves longitudinally periodically, achieving automatic feeding of the reed sheet.

[0022] Among them: the upper end of the feeding guide rail 3 is connected to two symmetrically distributed limit seats 5 by evenly distributed screws. The inner surfaces of the two limit seats 5 are provided with material grooves 6. The two limit seats 5 and the two material grooves 6 constitute a feeding bin for storing stacked reeds and ensuring the continuity of automatic feeding of reeds.

[0023] Among them: the right end of the feeding bin 1 is connected to the bin door 7 by two evenly distributed screws, and the rear end of the feeding bin 1 is fixedly connected to the symmetrically distributed mounting bases 8. The left and right ends of the mounting bases 8 are provided with evenly distributed mounting holes. The bin door 7 realizes the closure of the feeding bin 1 and provides sealing protection for the feeding component 2. The mounting holes of the mounting bases 8 facilitate the installation of the automated reed feeding mechanism and the external reed leveling device by bolts.

[0024] The working principle of the automated reed feeding mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows: During operation, the operator first uses bolts to stably connect the mounting holes inside the mounting base 8 with the threaded holes of the external reed leveling device, thereby achieving stable installation of the feeding bin 1, the feeding assembly 2, and other mechanisms. After stable installation, the operator places the stacked reeds between the two feed troughs 6. Then, the controller 9 activates the motor 271, and the output shaft of the motor 271 rotates, driving the drive shaft to rotate. The drive shaft rotates, driving the turntable 272. The rotation of 272 causes the connecting shaft to rotate around the central axis of the drive shaft. The rotation of the connecting shaft causes the front end of the connecting rod 273 to rotate around the central axis of the drive shaft. When the front end of the connecting rod 273 rotates backward, the connecting rod 273 pushes the feeding seat 22 backward through the fixed shaft 274. The feeding seat 22 slides backward between the guide rails 21. The backward movement of the feeding seat 22 causes the sliding plate 23 to move backward. The backward movement of the sliding plate 23 causes the feeding plate 24 to move backward. The upper end of the feeding plate 24 moves backward inside the slide groove 4. The right angle surface of the upper end of the feeding plate 24 The bottommost reed is pushed backward inside the feeding guide rail 3 to feed the reed. When the front end of the connecting rod 273 rotates forward, the connecting rod 273 pulls the feeding seat 22 forward through the fixed shaft 274. The feeding seat 22 slides forward between the guide rails 21. The forward movement of the feeding seat 22 drives the sliding plate 23 to move forward, which in turn drives the feeding plate 24 to move forward. The upper end of the feeding plate 24 moves forward inside the sliding groove 4, and the arc surface of the feeding plate 24 contacts the reed. Due to the obstruction of the reed, the feeding plate 24 moves downward, and the feeding is completed. The downward movement of plate 24 causes sliding plate 23 to move downward under the guidance of sliding column 25. The downward movement of sliding plate 23 causes spring 26 to be elastically compressed. When feeding plate 24 returns to its initial position, the elastic force of spring 26 pushes sliding plate 23 upward, which in turn causes feeding plate 24 to move upward. This allows feeding plate 24 to push the bottom reed to move backward again during the next backward movement. As the front end of connecting rod 273 rotates periodically around the central axis of drive shaft, feeding plate 24 moves longitudinally periodically, realizing automatic feeding of reeds.

[0025] It is worth noting that the controller 9 disclosed in the above embodiments controls the operation of the motor 271 using methods commonly used in the prior art.

[0026] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
