Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of nut processing technology, and more specifically, to an automated feeding device for a nut cold heading machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the early production of cold heading machines for nuts, it was common practice to feed the nuts to the cold heading machine manually. Workers had to place the nuts one by one into the processing position of the cold heading machine. This method was not only slow, but also easily affected by factors such as worker fatigue and lack of concentration, making it difficult to improve production efficiency and meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0003] The quality of manual feeding is unstable: During manual operation, it is difficult to ensure that the position and angle of the nut are exactly the same each time. This may lead to an increase in the defect rate of the cold heading machine during processing. For example, the deviation in the nut placement position may cause the nut size of the cold heading to not meet the requirements, affecting the stability of product quality. Long-term repetitive feeding operations will make the labor intensity of workers extremely high, easily causing physical fatigue and occupational injuries. Moreover, in some large-scale production factories, a large number of workers are required for feeding work, which undoubtedly increases the labor costs of enterprises. Although some early automated feeding devices can achieve a certain degree of automatic feeding, due to imperfect design, problems such as material blockage and jamming often occur during the feeding process. For example, materials are easy to accumulate in the conveying channel, resulting in uneven feeding and affecting the normal operation of the cold heading machine, requiring frequent manual intervention to clear the blockage.

[0004] Lack of material arrangement and sorting function: Nuts may become disorderly during the conveying process and cannot be arranged in an orderly manner according to the processing requirements of the cold heading machine. This requires the cold heading machine to perform additional adjustment steps during processing, reducing processing efficiency and even causing processing failures due to improper material arrangement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide an automated feeding device for a nut cold heading machine, which solves the technical problem that nuts may become disorderly during the conveying process in the prior art and cannot be arranged in an orderly manner according to the processing requirements of the cold heading machine. This requires additional adjustment steps during the cold heading machine processing, reduces processing efficiency, and may even lead to processing failure due to improper material arrangement.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides an automated feeding device for a nut cold heading machine, comprising:

[0007] A feeding tray, wherein a feeding plate is provided on the side wall of the feeding tray;

[0008] A vibrating feeding assembly is disposed at the bottom of the feeding tray;

[0009] A feeding support assembly is disposed at the bottom of the feeding tray;

[0010] The vibrating feeding assembly includes a drive platform, a drive base on the drive platform, a push cylinder on the drive base, a connecting block on the upper end of the push cylinder, the connecting block being connected to the bottom of the feeding tray, a push cylinder on the side wall of the discharging tray, the telescopic end of the push cylinder being inserted into the interior of the discharging tray, and a push plate on the output end of the push cylinder, the push plate being fitted into the interior of the discharging tray.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the lower section of the feeding tray is provided with a supporting column, the side wall of the supporting column is provided with a mounting plate, and the driving platform is located on the upper surface of the mounting plate.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the feeding support assembly includes a support platform, which is disposed at the lower end of the feeding tray. A placement tube is disposed on the upper end surface of the support platform. A buffer spring is disposed inside the placement tube, and a telescopic rod is connected to the buffer spring. The telescopic rod is inserted into the interior of the placement tube.

[0013] As a further technical solution, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the feeding tray by a pin, and the support platform is connected to the placement tube by a pin.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the side wall of the feeding tray is provided with an extension frame, which is connected to the opposite sides of the discharging tray by pins.

[0015] As a further technical solution, a limiting baffle is provided on the side wall of the feeding tray, and a feeding port is opened on the limiting baffle, which is located on the side wall of the limiting baffle.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the lower end face of the placement tray is provided with supporting feet, which are located at the four corners of the lower end face of the placement tray.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the side wall of the pusher cylinder is provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixed and screwed to the discharge plate by bolts.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0019] 1. In this disclosure, through the coordinated action of components such as the vibrating feeding assembly and the pushing cylinder, the automatic and rapid feeding of nuts can be achieved. The pushing cylinder of the vibrating feeding assembly can drive the feeding tray to generate a certain vibration, making it easier for the nuts to move and arrange in the feeding tray. The pushing cylinder accurately pushes the nuts in the feeding tray and sends them into the cold heading machine. Compared with manual feeding, the feeding speed and efficiency are greatly improved, the waiting time of the cold heading machine is reduced, and the overall production efficiency is improved.

[0020] 2. In this disclosure, the pusher plate of the device is attached to the inside of the feed plate, and the telescopic end of the pusher cylinder is inserted into the inside of the feed plate. This allows for precise control of the quantity and position of each push, ensuring that the nut is accurately delivered to the processing position of the cold heading machine. At the same time, the buffer spring and telescopic rod in the feeding support assembly can buffer and stabilize the feed plate, reducing the impact of equipment vibration and other factors on the feeding accuracy, ensuring the stability of the feeding process, and improving the quality and consistency of the nut cold heading process, thereby reducing the defect rate.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates an automated feeding device for a nut cold heading machine according to this disclosure, comprising:

[0034] The feeding tray 1 has a feeding tray 2 on its side wall;

[0035] Vibration feeding assembly 3 is located at the bottom of the feeding tray 1;

[0036] Feeding support assembly 4 is located at the bottom of the feeding tray 1;

[0037] The vibrating feeding assembly 3 includes a drive platform 3-1, a drive base 3-2 on the drive platform 3-1, a push cylinder 3-3 on the drive base 3-2, a connecting block 3-4 on the upper end of the push cylinder 3-3, the connecting block 3-4 being connected to the bottom of the feeding tray 2, a push cylinder 3-5 on the side wall of the discharging tray 1, the telescopic end of the push cylinder 3-5 being inserted into the interior of the discharging tray 1, and a push plate 3-6 on the output end of the push cylinder 3-5, the push plate 3-6 being fitted into the interior of the discharging tray 1.

[0038] The feeding support assembly 4 includes a support platform 4-1, which is located at the lower end of the feeding tray 2. A placement tube 4-2 is provided on the upper end surface of the support platform 4-1. A buffer spring 4-3 is provided inside the placement tube 4-2. A telescopic rod 4-4 is connected to the buffer spring 4-3 and is inserted into the placement tube 4-2.

[0039] In some examples, the placement tray 3-8 is first placed in a suitable working area using the support legs 8. The support platform 4-1 is placed at the lower end of the feeding tray 2. The placement tube 4-2 is installed on the upper surface of the support platform 4-1, and a buffer spring 4-3 is placed inside the placement tube 4-2. Then, the telescopic rod 4-4 is inserted into the placement tube 4-2 and connected to the buffer spring 4-3. Finally, one end of the telescopic rod 4-4 is connected to the pin of the feeding tray 2. The support platform 4-1 and the placement tube 4-2 are also connected by a pin. The drive platform 3-1 is installed on the upper surface of the placement tray 3-8. The drive seat 3-2 is installed on the drive platform 3-1. The push cylinder 3-3 is installed on the drive seat 3-2. The connecting block 3-4 at the upper end of the push cylinder 3-3 is connected to the bottom of the feeding tray 2. The push cylinder 3-5 is installed on the side wall of the discharge tray 1. The telescopic end of the push cylinder 3-5 is inserted into the discharge tray 1, and the output end is installed with the push tray 3-6.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes that the lower section of the feeding tray 2 is provided with a support column 3-7, the side wall of the support column 3-7 is provided with a mounting tray 3-8, and the drive platform 3-1 is provided on the upper end surface of the mounting tray 3-8.

[0041] In some examples, the feeding tray 2 is installed on the side wall of the dispensing tray 1, and the supporting column 3-7 below the feeding tray 2 is connected to the placement tray 3-8.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, one end of the telescopic rod 4-4 is connected to the feeding tray 2 by a pin, the support platform 4-1 is connected to the placement tube 4-2 by a pin, and the side wall of the feeding tray 2 is provided with an extension frame 5, which is connected to the opposite sides of the feeding tray 1 by pins.

[0043] In some examples, the extension frame 5 on the side wall of the feed tray 2 and the discharge tray 1 are connected by pins on opposite sides, so that the feed tray 2 and the discharge tray 1 can rotate flexibly.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a limiting baffle 6 is provided on the side wall of the feeding tray 2, and a feeding port 7 is opened on the limiting baffle 6. The feeding port 7 is located on the side wall of the limiting baffle 6.

[0045] In some examples, a limiting baffle 6 is installed on the side wall of the feeding tray 2, and a feeding port 7 is opened on the limiting baffle 6. This feeding port 7 is located on the side wall of the limiting baffle 6 to prevent the nut material from rolling or sliding randomly on the feeding tray 2, ensuring that it moves within a specific area, so that the material can be conveyed to the feeding port 7 according to the set path, avoiding material scattering or deviating from the predetermined track, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the feeding.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower end face of the mounting plate 3-8 is provided with supporting feet 8, which are located at the four corners of the lower end face of the mounting plate 3-8.

[0047] In some examples, the supporting feet 8 are located at the four corners of the lower end face of the mounting plate 3-8 to ensure the stability of the device.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the pusher cylinder 3-5 is provided with a connecting plate 9, and the connecting plate 9 is fixed and screwed to the discharge plate 1 by bolts.

[0049] In some examples, the pusher plate 3-6 is fitted inside the discharge plate 1, and the side wall of the pusher cylinder 3-5 is fixedly connected to the discharge plate 1 by bolts through the connecting plate 9.

[0050] In use, the drive platform 3-1 serves as the basic support component, mounted on the mounting plate 3-8. The drive seat 3-2 is set on the drive platform 3-1 and is used to mount the push cylinder 3-3, providing a stable mounting position for the cylinder. This pushes the piston rod of the cylinder 3-3 to reciprocate up and down. When the piston rod extends upwards, it drives the feeding plate 2 upwards via the connecting block 3-4; when the piston rod retracts downwards, the feeding plate 2 moves downwards accordingly. This process repeats, causing the feeding plate 2 to vibrate. The push cylinder 3-5 is mounted on the side wall of the discharge plate 1, and its extension... The telescopic end can be inserted into the feeding tray 1. When the pushing cylinder 3-5 is activated, the telescopic end extends forward, driving the pushing tray 3-6 to move inside the feeding tray 1, pushing the nut material in the feeding tray 1 towards the processing area of ​​the cold heading machine. When the telescopic end retracts, the pushing tray 3-6 returns to its initial position, waiting for the next push. The support platform 4-1 is located at the lower end of the feeding tray 2, providing support for the entire feeding support assembly 4. The placement tube 4-2 is installed on the upper end face of the support platform 4-1, and a buffer spring 4-3 is installed inside. The telescopic rod 4-4 is inserted into the placement tube 4-2. Internally connected to the buffer spring 4-3, during the vibration of the feeding disc 2, the telescopic rod 4-4 moves up and down under the action of the buffer spring 4-3. When the feeding disc 2 moves downward, the telescopic rod 4-4 compresses the buffer spring 4-3, which absorbs energy and acts as a buffer and shock absorber. When the feeding disc 2 moves upward, the buffer spring 4-3 releases energy, helping the telescopic rod 4-4 to return to its original position, ensuring stable vibration of the feeding disc 2. The discharge disc 1 is a container for placing nut materials, and the pusher cylinder 3-5 pushes the material in the discharge disc 1. To the processing area, the feeding tray 2 is connected to the placement tray 3-8 via the support column 3-7, and the side wall is connected to the discharge tray 1 via the extension frame 5 pin. It can vibrate under the action of the push cylinder 3-3. Under the vibration of the feeding tray 2, the material moves along the inner wall of the feeding tray 2 towards the limiting baffle 6. The limiting baffle 6 is installed on the side wall of the feeding tray 2 and has a feeding port 7 on it. Its function is to limit the movement range of the material, so that the material can only enter the processing area of ​​the cold heading machine through the feeding port 7, ensuring orderly material feeding and controlling the rhythm and quantity of feeding.

[0051] Place the nut material into the feeding tray 1, start the push cylinder 3-3, which drives the feeding tray 2 to vibrate up and down, so that the nut material in the feeding tray 2 is arranged neatly under the action of vibration and moves towards the limit baffle 6. When the material reaches the appropriate position, start the push cylinder 3-5, which pushes the push tray 3-6 to push the nut material in the feeding tray 1 through the feeding port 7 to the processing area of ​​the cold heading machine for processing. During the feeding process, the buffer spring 4-3 and the telescopic rod 4-4 of the feeding support component 4 continuously buffer and reduce shock to ensure stable vibration of the feeding tray 2. After the push cylinder 3-5 completes one push, it retracts and waits for the next push command. This cycle is repeated to achieve continuous and stable feeding.

[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
