Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material distribution technology, and in particular to a columnar material distribution device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale and the increasing demands for production efficiency, automated production has become a development trend in various industries. In the production process, material distribution is a key link. For cylindrical materials such as screws, fragrance blocks, and cylindrical workpieces, traditional manual distribution methods are inefficient, have a high error rate, and are prone to worker fatigue and safety hazards. They cannot meet the high efficiency and precision requirements of automated production lines. In the production of automatic screw fastening machines, cylindrical headless screws need to be separated and accurately distributed one by one so that the electric screwdriver bit can perform screw fastening operations. Manual distribution cannot guarantee the accuracy and continuity of material distribution, thus affecting the overall production efficiency.

[0003] Automated columnar material distribution devices enable precise material distribution, avoiding errors caused by human operation due to fatigue or negligence, thereby improving the consistency and stability of product quality. In light industrial manufacturing assembly processes, such as the distribution of small columnar workpieces, manual feeding not only wastes manpower but also struggles to keep up with the assembly speed of the machinery, and is prone to distribution errors, affecting product quality. Specialized columnar material distribution devices can accurately distribute materials according to set programs and parameters, ensuring that each workpiece is accurately delivered to the corresponding position on the assembly machine, guaranteeing production stability and product quality. However, current columnar material distribution devices cannot increase the vertical height by a certain proportion compared to ordinary distribution plates, and the top guide surface does not employ a periodic corrugated structure, lacking an undulating design to buffer the material flow rate, which can easily damage the items. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a columnar material distribution device, which aims to improve the problems in the prior art where the columnar material distribution device cannot increase the vertical height by a certain proportion compared with ordinary distribution plates, and the top guide surface does not adopt a periodic corrugated structure, lacks an undulating design to buffer the material flow rate, and is prone to damage to items.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a columnar material distribution device, comprising a base, a distribution plate 1 fixedly connected to the top of each of the bases, a distribution plate 2 directly disposed adjacent to each of the distribution plates 1, a guide groove being formed between each of the adjacent distribution plates 2, a long groove being formed at the bottom of the guide groove, a diversion channel plate being provided on the front side of the bottom of the long groove, a long plate being provided on the rear side of the diversion channel plate, a T-shaped plate being provided on the front side of the distribution plate 1, a left guide member being provided on the left front side of the left T-shaped plate, a right guide member being provided on the front side of the right T-shaped plate, a central distribution plate being provided in the middle of the inner side of the guide groove, and a quick-release locking member being provided on the rear side of the top of the base.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The base has a circular hole at the top center.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom rear side of the base is fixedly connected with a circular column.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A long strip is fixedly connected to the top center of the base.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] Each base has a pre-drilled hole on its top left side.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The base has a second pre-drilled hole on its top right side.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by combining the left and right guide components, the inner sides of the left and right guide components are symmetrically arranged to form an adjustable spacing guide space, which prevents the material from deviating and guides the material to disperse outward. The inclined surface and the insertion surface that come into contact with the material are highly polished to reduce frictional resistance. The central distribution plate is then combined with the guide groove, and the inlet is optimized by adopting a tapered funnel structure to ensure that the material slides without obstruction. Then, the quick-release locking part is used for convenient operation and the tool-free pressing structure. Therefore, the vertical height can be increased by a certain proportion compared with ordinary distribution plates. The top guide surface adopts a periodic corrugated structure, and the undulating design buffers the material flow rate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a columnar material distribution device, including a base 1. The top of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a distribution plate 3. A distribution plate 2 17 is directly arranged between adjacent distribution plates 3. A guide groove 4 is opened between adjacent distribution plates 2 17. A long groove 16 is opened at the bottom of the guide groove 4. A diversion channel plate 14 is arranged on the front side of the bottom of the long groove 16. A long plate 15 is arranged on the rear side of the diversion channel plate 14. A T-shaped plate 13 is arranged on the front side of the distribution plate 3. A left guide 8 is arranged on the left end of the front side of the left T-shaped plate 13. A right guide 7 is arranged on the front side of the right T-shaped plate 13. A central distribution plate 12 is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the guide groove 4. A quick-release locking member 10 is arranged on the rear side of the top of the base 1.

[0027] Specifically, guide grooves 4 are formed between adjacent distribution plates 17. The shape and size of the guide grooves 4 are determined according to fluid requirements. The main function of the guide grooves 4 is to guide the fluid. A long groove 16 is further formed at the bottom of the guide grooves 4. The long groove 16 has a greater depth and length than the guide grooves 4, enhancing the stability and directionality of fluid flow. The long groove 16 can hold more fluid, preventing fluid accumulation or turbulence in local areas, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the entire fluid distribution system. A flow distribution channel plate 14 is provided at the bottom front of the long groove 16. The flow distribution channel plate 14 is a fluid distribution unit, capable of further distributing the fluid flowing out of the long groove 16 into different channels.

[0028] Please see the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 5 A circular column 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the base 1. A circular hole 9 is opened in the middle of the top of the base 1. A long strip 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the base 1. A reserved hole 1 2 is opened on the top left side of the base 1. A reserved hole 2 6 is set on the top right side of the base 1.

[0029] Specifically, by combining multiple distribution plates 1-3 and 2-17, the flow guiding structure adopts a trapezoidal cross section, with the inclined surfaces on both sides forming a natural flow guiding path to guide the material to disperse outward. The inclined surfaces and insertion surfaces that come into contact with the material are highly polished to reduce frictional resistance. The central distribution plate 12 is then combined with a guide groove 4, with an inlet width greater than the outlet, to smoothly guide the material into the distribution area. Its inner wall is polished or treated with a low-friction coating to ensure that the material slides without obstruction. Finally, the quick-release locking piece 10 is used for convenient operation.

[0030] Working principle: The system utilizes left and right guide components 8 and 7, symmetrically arranged to form an adjustable-spacing flow space within them, preventing material deviation. The flow surfaces are covered with a high-hardness coating, suitable for humid and high-frequency cleaning conditions. Combined with multiple distribution plates 1-3 and 2-17, the flow structure features a trapezoidal cross-section with sloping sides forming a natural flow path, guiding material outwards. The sloping surfaces and insertion surfaces in contact with the material are highly polished to reduce frictional resistance. The central distribution plate 12, along with other guide components... The inlet of channel 4 is optimized by adopting a tapered funnel structure with an inlet width greater than the outlet, smoothly guiding materials into the distribution area. Its inner wall is polished or treated with a low-friction coating to ensure unobstructed sliding of materials. Then, it is convenient to operate with quick-release locking component 10. The tool-free pressing structure allows for locking or releasing the components with one hand. The rounded chamfer design at the head reduces wear from repeated insertion and removal, thus achieving a certain proportion of increased vertical height compared to ordinary distribution plates. The top guide surface adopts a periodic corrugated structure, which buffers the material flow rate through undulation design.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
