Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material receiving tray technology, specifically a material tray with an anti-collision structure. Background Technology
[0002] During automated machining on a CNC lathe, a fully automatic feeder feeds the parts. After the lathe finishes machining, the machine tool's built-in receiver picks up the finished parts. When the finished parts fall into the receiving tray, they collide with each other and may even be damaged.
[0003] However, existing anti-collision material trays, as proposed in the published patent (publication number: CN218283742U), include an anti-collision material receiving tray comprising a guide plate, a mounting bracket, a rotating plate, and a motor base. When material enters the rotating plate from the discharge port, it is intercepted by a guide plate. Since the guide plate remains stationary, the rotating plate rotates relative to the guide plate to move the material away, preventing collisions between materials. However, the material may still be damaged by impacts with the guide plate. Therefore, this application provides a material tray with an anti-collision structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material tray with an anti-collision structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material tray with an anti-collision structure, comprising a housing, a receiving tray fixedly installed on the top of the housing, a buffer component fixedly installed at the axis away from the receiving tray, a support column fixedly installed at the axis of the receiving tray, one end of the support column connected to the bottom of the housing, a motor fixedly installed on the right side of the housing, an output gear fixedly installed above the motor, a rotating plate fixedly installed below the receiving tray, the upper end of the rotating plate extending to the surface of the receiving tray, a curved fan blade fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating plate, and an input gear fixedly installed on the inner wall below the rotating plate, the input gear meshing with the output gear.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the receiving tray has a first oil outlet at its axial center, the first oil outlet extends downward to the bottom of the support column, the support column has a second oil outlet on its right side, an oil receiving shell is fixedly installed below the receiving tray, the oil receiving shell wraps around the rotating plate, and its lower part is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second oil outlet, and an oil pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support column.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the receiving tray is conical and has a circular inner cavity that is concave towards the axis.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fan blade of the curved fan blade is a curved surface.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: wherein, a height-adjustable telescopic column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body, and the first oil outlet, the second oil outlet and the oil pipe form a horizontal T-shape.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating plate is movably connected to the inside of the receiving tray via a slider.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] When the material enters the receiving tray, it is slowed down by the buffer. Due to the inward concave circular cavity of the receiving tray and the rotating plate, the material slides downward. During the sliding process, the curved surface of the curved fan blade assists the material to move downward, so that the material moves to the center of the rotating plate for temporary storage.

[0019] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0020] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of box 1. A receiving tray 2 is fixedly installed on the top of box 1. The receiving tray 2 is made of acetal alloy, which has high strength, corrosion resistance, and a low coefficient of friction. Figure 3 As shown, the receiving tray 2 is conical with a circular inner cavity concave towards the axis. A rotating blade 22 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the receiving tray 2, and the rotating blade 22 is movably connected to the receiving tray 2 via a slider. The upper end of the rotating blade 22 extends to the surface of the receiving tray 2. Curved fan blades 23, evenly distributed along the circumference, are fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating blade 22. A dividing chamber is formed between two adjacent curved fan blades 23. A material inlet 3, connected to the cutting mechanism, is movably connected to the upper part of the receiving tray 2. The material inlet 3 is located outside the buffer member 21. After entering the receiving tray 2 through the material inlet 3, the material sequentially enters the dividing chamber. An input gear 25 is fixedly installed on the inner wall below the rotating blade 22. Figure 2 (As shown).
[0021] Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a motor 24 is fixedly installed on the right side of the inside of the housing 1. An output gear 31 is fixedly installed on the output shaft at the upper end of the motor 24. The output gear 31 meshes with the input gear 25. A support column 32 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A second oil outlet 271 is provided on one side of the support column 32. The top of the support column 32 is connected to the axis of the receiving tray 2. An oil outlet 27 is opened at the axis of the receiving tray 2 and extends to the bottom of the support column 32. The bottom of the receiving tray 2 is larger than the rotating plate 22. An oil receiving shell 28 is fixedly installed at the diameter, and the rotating plate 22 is wrapped in the inner cavity of the oil receiving shell 28. The lower part of the oil receiving shell 28 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 24 through a dynamic seal, and the second oil outlet 271 located on the support 32 is wrapped inside. An oil pipe 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support column 32. The oil pipe 29 extends to the external first oil outlet 27 and second oil outlet 271 below the box 1. The oil pipe 29 cooperates with the oil pipe 29 to form a horizontal T-shape. Four telescopic columns 26 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the box 1.
[0022] Specific examples Figure 3As shown, after adjusting the height of the receiving tray 2 by means of the telescopic column 26, the material inlet 3 of the external equipment is tilted at a certain angle and then fixedly connected to the receiving tray 2. After starting the motor 24, when the material enters the interior of the receiving tray 2 from the material inlet 3, since the material inlet 3 is on the periphery of the buffer 21, the material will be decelerated by the action of the buffer 21 during the downward sliding process (the buffer 21 can be set to one or more according to the weight of the material and the sliding speed). The motor 24 drives the input gear 25 on the inner wall below the rotating vane 22 to rotate via the output gear 31. The rotating vane 22 then drives the curved fan blade 23 to rotate on the receiving tray 2. After the material is decelerated by the buffer 21, it enters the rotation range of the curved fan blade 23. As the curved fan blade 23 pushes the material away, since both the receiving tray 2 and the rotating vane 22 are concave circular cavities, the material slides downward in the downward circular cavity. During the downward sliding process, it is pushed by the curved surface of the curved fan blade 23, so the material has an axial rotational force and a downward sliding force. During this process, the material slides along the curved surface of the curved fan blade 23 towards the center of the receiving tray 2, thus avoiding the problem of a single material colliding with the inner wall of the receiving tray 2 during its fall. Then the next material will enter the next adjacent separator. In this way, the separator can separate two materials that fall in succession, preventing the two materials that fall into the receiving tray 2 in succession from colliding. Because the curved fan blades 23 divide the receiving tray 2 into an inner and outer compartment, the material falling into the receiving tray 2 will enter the inner compartment due to the downward curved surface design of the receiving tray 2, and the material will be temporarily stored in the inner compartment. Since cutting fluid is used in the material processing, there will be residual cutting fluid on the material. The cutting fluid on the receiving tray 2 will flow down into the oil receiving shell 28 along the gap between the rotating blade 22 and the receiving tray 2. The bottom of the oil receiving shell 28 is connected to the second oil outlet 271 on the support column 32. At the same time, the cutting fluid on the material in the inner compartment will flow into the first oil outlet 27 at the axis of the receiving tray 2. An oil pipe 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support column, and the oil pipe 29 will discharge the cutting fluid.
[0023] Working principle: When the motor 24 is started, the motor 24 drives the meshing input gear 25 to rotate through the output gear 31 on the output shaft. The input gear 25 drives the curved fan blade 23 to rotate through the rotating vane 22. When the material slides or rolls from the feed port 3 of the cutting equipment into the receiving tray 2, it is slowed down by the buffer 21. The slowed material enters the rotation range of the curved fan blade 23. Since the receiving tray 2 and the rotating vane 22 are both inwardly concave circular cavities, the material slides downward in the downward circular cavity. During the downward sliding process, it is pushed by the curved surface of the curved fan blade 23, thus giving the material an axial rotation. With a force and a downward sliding force, the curved fan blade 23 divides the receiving tray 2 into an inner chamber and an outer chamber. When the material falling into the receiving tray 2, it will enter the inner chamber due to the downward curved surface design of the receiving tray 2. The material will be temporarily stored in the inner chamber, and there will be residual cutting fluid on the material. The cutting fluid at the outer chamber of the receiving tray 2 will flow down into the oil receiving shell 28 along the gap between the rotating blade 22 and the receiving tray 2. The cutting fluid inside the oil receiving shell 28 enters the second oil outlet 271. At the same time, the cutting fluid on the material temporarily stored in the inner chamber of the receiving tray 2 enters the first oil outlet 27. Finally, the cutting fluid inside the first oil outlet 27 and the second oil outlet 271 is discharged through the oil pipe 29.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
