Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chain piece processing equipment, and relates to a chain piece feeding device with adjustable width. Background Technology

[0002] Existing chain production lines include vibratory feeders and stringing devices. The vibratory feeder consists of a hopper and a spiral track on the inner wall of the hopper. Stacks of chain links are placed inside the hopper. A pulse electromagnet below the hopper causes it to vibrate vertically, and inclined spring plates drive the hopper to oscillate around its vertical axis. The components inside the hopper rise along the track due to this vibration and align themselves on the track. The purpose of the vibratory feeder is to automatically and accurately orient the disordered chain links through vibration and transport them neatly to the stringing device, where the chain links are stacked and strung together.

[0003] The stringing device includes a stringing channel through which chain pieces can be arranged. Two through holes are opened on the chain pieces for installing chain pins. Two guide wires are provided at the outlet of the stringing channel, which correspond one-to-one with the positions of the through holes of the chain pieces. Each chain piece is arranged in the stringing channel in sequence and moves forward along the stringing channel until it is fitted onto the guide wire and moves along the guide wire to the next process.

[0004] A conveying device is also provided between the vibratory feeder and the stringing device. This conveying mechanism includes a feeding channel through which chain pieces can be arranged and passed, which is used to feed the chain pieces at the outlet of the vibratory feeder into the stringing device. In order to be able to convey chain pieces of various sizes, the width of the feeding channel and the stringing channel is designed to be larger than the thickness of the chain pieces. Therefore, in actual use, it is found that when the chain pieces move in the feeding channel, the two chain pieces in front and behind will overlap, which will affect the subsequent stringing and conveying. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems existing in the conveying process of existing chain links by proposing a feeding device that can adaptively adjust the feeding channel and the stringing channel according to the width of the chain links.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] An adjustable-width chain feeding device includes a chain threading device and a conveying device. The conveying device includes a conveying tray with a feeding channel for conveying chain pieces. The chain threading device includes a base and a lead wire.
