A hopper for batch movement of hinges

Abstract

This utility model discloses a hopper for bulk movement of hinges, including a base plate and side plates fixedly disposed on both sides of the base plate. The two ends of the side plates respectively form an inlet and an outlet, and a baffle plate is fixedly disposed on the outlet. This utility model allows for the direct stacking of bare hinges into the hopper, which then allows them to be placed into a box or proceed to the next process. Pre-packaging of the hinges is unnecessary, reducing packaging steps, saving packaging materials, and making it more environmentally friendly. It changes the traditional method of transferring arranged hinges using external forces such as suction cups or magnets, utilizing the product's own weight for discharging. This avoids missing items due to individual products falling out caused by different product specifications or insufficient suction. It is applicable to hinge products of different sizes and specifications. The inclined hopper allows the hinges to be discharged smoothly using their own weight, reducing damage caused by collisions during discharging.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hinge manufacturing technology, and in particular to a hopper for batch movement of hinges. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of product transportation, storage, and sales, containers, materials, and auxiliary materials are needed to contain and package products in order to protect them, facilitate storage, and promote sales. The most common packaging methods currently are bagging, bottled packaging, and boxing. In the process of packaging hinges, the existing technology generally involves first sealing the hinges in bags and then placing them into a box. The above-mentioned boxing method also requires placing the hinge packaging bags into the box's packing device, thereby further improving production efficiency. For example, the Chinese utility model patent application with publication number CN222663849U, entitled "An Automatic Packing Device for Suction Cup Hinges," and the Chinese utility model patent application with publication number CN222496746U, entitled "An Automatic Packing Device for Magnetic Hinges," both applied for by the applicant.

[0003] However, both of the above methods increase the space occupied by the air left in the packaging bags, and the hinges of the packaging boxes are prone to shaking during transportation. In addition, the packaging boxes need to be moved during the packing process to accommodate the stacking of packaging bags. In both processes, the packaging bags are prone to scratching each other. Since the edges of the hinges are relatively sharp, they can easily cause damage to the packaging bags. At the same time, since the hinges are attached by suction cups or magnets during the packing process, there is a small probability of instability, which can cause the hinges to fall off during the packing process. This results in a shortage of hinges in the packaging boxes, and the number of hinges in the boxes needs to be manually checked again after packing is completed, which affects production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, based on the shape characteristics of the hinge products, it is necessary to design a hopper that allows for convenient batch movement of bare hinges. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a hopper for batch movement of hinges.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hopper for batch movement of hinges, including a base plate and side plates fixedly disposed on both sides of the base plate. The two ends of the side plates respectively form a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, and a baffle plate is fixedly disposed on the discharge outlet.

[0007] Furthermore, the base plate is inclined.

[0008] Furthermore, the high side of the hopper is the feed inlet for the hinge to enter, and the low side is the discharge outlet for the hinge to slide out.

[0009] Furthermore, the base plate is horizontally arranged, and the feed inlet serves as the discharge outlet. During discharge, the side of the base plate closest to the feed inlet tilts downward.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding slide rail, the side plate is slidably disposed on the feeding slide rail, the side plate slides upward along the feeding slide rail to expose the discharge port, and the hinge slides out from the discharge port.

[0011] Furthermore, the depth of the base plate matches the length of the hinge.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the base plate matches the width of the stacked hinges.

[0013] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The bare hinges can be stacked directly and put into the hopper, and then put into the box or into the next process through the hopper. There is no need to pre-package the hinges, which reduces packaging steps, saves packaging materials, and is more green and environmentally friendly.

[0015] It changes the traditional method of transferring arranged hinges by external force such as suction cups or magnetic attraction. Instead, it uses the product's own weight to complete the unloading, avoiding the omission of individual products due to different product specifications or insufficient suction. It can be applied to hinge products of different specifications and sizes. The inclined hopper can use the hinge's own weight to make it unload smoothly, which can reduce the damage caused by the hinges colliding with each other during unloading.

[0016] The width of the hopper is approximately equal to the overall width of the stacked hinges, which reduces the pressure on the hinges during movement, avoids wear on the hinges during transfer, and ensures the integrity of the hinges. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a hopper for bulk movement of hinges includes a base plate 1 and side plates 2 fixedly disposed on both sides of the base plate 1. The two ends of the side plates 2 form an inlet 4 and an outlet 5, respectively, with a baffle plate 3 fixedly disposed on the outlet 5. Bare hinges 7 can be directly stacked and loaded into the hopper, then passed through the hopper into a box or to the next process. Pre-packaging of the hinges 7 is unnecessary, reducing packaging steps, saving packaging materials, and making the process more environmentally friendly.

[0025] The depth of the base plate 1 matches the length of the hinge 7, and the width of the base plate 1 matches the width of several hinges 7 stacked together. The width of the hopper is approximately equal to the overall width of the stacked hinges 7, reducing the pressure on the hinges 7 during movement, preventing wear on the hinges 7 during transfer, and ensuring the integrity of the hinges 7.

[0026] The base plate 1 is inclined, with the high side of the hopper serving as the inlet 4 for the hinges 7 to enter and the low side as the outlet 5 for the hinges 7 to slide out. The side plate 2 is slidably mounted on the discharge rail 6, sliding upwards along the rail to expose the outlet 5, from which the hinges 7 slide out. This design changes the traditional method of transferring and packing arranged hinges 7 using external forces such as suction cups or magnets. Instead, it utilizes the product's own weight for unloading, avoiding the loss of individual products due to different specifications or insufficient suction. It is also suitable for hinges of different sizes. The inclined hopper allows the hinges 7 to be discharged smoothly using their own weight, reducing damage caused by collisions during discharge.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that:

[0029] The base plate 1 is set horizontally, and the feed inlet 4 also serves as the discharge outlet 5; during discharge, the side of the base plate 1 closest to the feed inlet 4 descends to complete the discharge.

[0030] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
