Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal parts manufacturing and processing technology, specifically to a metal parts vibration conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Vibratory conveying of metal parts is used in automated production lines to arrange and transport metal parts to designated locations in an orderly manner. Currently, vibratory conveying of metal parts mainly relies on vibratory feeders. The core of the vibratory feeder lies in its unique drive system, typically including an electromagnetic actuator or a mechanical spring. When current passes through the coil, a corresponding magnetic field is generated, attracting the armature and causing the chassis to move up and down periodically, thus creating vibration. The vibration of the chassis causes the metal parts located on the track or chute to move forward in a jumping manner. During this process, the metal parts are gradually screened, sorted, and finally output in a predetermined direction.

[0003] However, during the conveying process of metal parts along the track or chute, due to different vibration forces, the metal parts have varying shapes on the track or chute, and the spacing between them is also different. Adjustments are still required at output, otherwise jamming will occur. Existing vibratory feeders for metal parts usually have corresponding shaped notches set in the track or chute to allow metal parts of the corresponding shape to pass through, while metal parts with inconsistent shapes are screened out and vibrated for re-conveyance. This reduces the operational efficiency of vibratory conveying of metal parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vibratory conveying device for metal parts, which adjusts the shape of the metal parts in a timely manner during the vibratory conveying process and outputs them at the same interval to prevent jamming. To achieve the above objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a vibratory conveying device for metal parts, comprising: a conveying plate, a vibrating device, and a transporting device. The conveying plate is mounted on the vibrating device, and the conveying plate performs periodic up-and-down movements under the control of the vibrating device.

[0006] The feeding tray is provided with a chute, which is spirally arranged and the feeding end at the bottom of the chute is connected to the bottom of the feeding tray so that the metal parts in the feeding tray can enter the chute. The feeding tray is provided with a notch at the discharge end at the top of the chute so that the discharge end at the top of the chute can be connected to the conveying device.

[0007] The sidewall of the chute is provided with several first rollers at intervals to adjust the shape of the metal parts, and the end of the transport device connected to the chute is provided with several claws to disperse the metal parts.

[0008] Furthermore, the chute is provided along the inner wall of the feed tray, and the inner wall of the feed tray is the side wall of one side of the chute.

[0009] The first roller is mounted on the inner wall of the feeding disc.

[0010] Preferably, the first roller is covered with a first rubber layer, and the first rubber layer is provided with a rolling pattern.

[0011] Furthermore, a second roller is provided between adjacent first rollers, and the second roller is mounted on the chute.

[0012] Preferably, the second roller is covered with a second rubber layer, and the second rubber layer is provided with raised patterns. The raised patterns are herringbone shaped and the direction of the raised patterns is the same as the feeding direction of the metal parts.

[0013] In some other embodiments, the chute has a protrusion between adjacent first rollers, the protrusion being herringbone in shape and oriented in the same direction as the conveying direction of the metal parts.

[0014] Furthermore, the pawls are spaced apart on both sides of the connection end between the transport device and the chute.

[0015] Preferably, the pawl is equipped with a retaining spring for timely reset.

[0016] Furthermore, a sweeping assembly is installed in the feeding tray. The sweeping assembly includes a rotating shaft with blades at its end and a micro motor. The rotating shaft is installed at the bottom of the feeding tray, so that the bottom end of the blades is in contact with the bottom of the feeding tray. The micro motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft rotates under the control of the micro motor, thereby driving the blades to rotate. The metal parts move along the bottom of the feeding tray under the push of the blades until they enter the chute.

[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model uses several rollers installed on the side wall of the chute to adjust the shape of the metal parts during the conveying process along the chute, preventing jamming. Simultaneously, several claws are spaced apart on both sides of the conveying device at the discharge end, which disperse the metal parts and output them at equal intervals.

[0019] 2. By setting a textured roller or protrusion on the chute, this utility model can more fully adjust the shape of the metal parts and perform preliminary dispersion of the metal parts.

[0020] 3. This utility model has a material sweeping component at the bottom of the vibratory feeder. The component rotates to drive the metal parts at the bottom into the chute, thus avoiding prolonged feeding time due to repeated vibration of the metal parts. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a vibrating conveying device for metal parts, including: a conveying plate 1, a vibrating device 2 and a transport device 3. The conveying plate 1 is installed on the vibrating device 2, and the conveying plate 1 moves up and down periodically under the control of the vibrating device 2, thereby generating vibration.

[0029] The conveying tray 1 is provided with a chute 11, which is spirally arranged and the bottom of the chute 11 is connected to the bottom of the conveying tray 1 so that the metal parts in the conveying tray 1 can enter the chute 11. The conveying tray 1 is provided with a notch at the top of the chute 11 so that the top of the chute 11 is connected to the conveying device 3.

[0030] Typically, the bottom of the conveyor plate 1 is not a completely flat surface, but a curved surface that convexes upwards. Under the action of gravity, the metal parts are dispersed along the curved surface to the edge of the bottom of the conveyor plate 1. At this time, under the action of vibration of the conveyor plate 1, the metal parts jump forward along the edge of the bottom of the conveyor plate 1 until they enter the chute 11 and are transported upwards.

[0031] The sidewall of the chute 11 is provided with several first rollers 13 at intervals to adjust the shape of the metal parts. The end of the transport device 3 connected to the chute 11 is provided with several claws 31. The claws 31 can disperse the metal parts and output them at the same interval.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pawls 31 are spaced apart on both sides of the connection end between the transport device 3 and the slide 11, and the pawls are equipped with snap rings (not shown in the figure) for timely reset.

[0033] Secondly, in this embodiment, the chute 11 is arranged along the inner wall 12 of the conveying disc 1, making the inner wall 12 of the conveying disc 1 a side wall of the chute 11. The first roller 13 is mounted on the inner wall 12 of the conveying disc 1. When the metal parts move on the chute 11, if the metal parts are transported in their normal form, their edges will not contact the first roller 13, meaning there will be no change in shape, and they will be transported normally forward. If the metal parts change shape due to vibration during transport, their edges will contact the first roller 13, thereby generating friction between the first roller 13 and the metal parts. Under the action of this friction, the metal parts change their transport shape, preventing jamming.

[0034] Furthermore, the first roller 13 is covered with a first rubber layer to protect the metal parts from damage caused by impacts, thus preventing any impact on the product yield. Simultaneously, the first rubber layer has a knurled pattern, which increases the friction between the first roller and the metal parts.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a second roller 14 is provided between adjacent first rollers 13, and the second roller 14 is mounted on the chute 11. During the vibration conveying of metal parts, the direction in which the first roller 13 adjusts the posture of the metal parts is limited, that is, the frictional force generated between the first roller 13 and the metal parts can only adjust the metal parts in the horizontal direction. By providing a second roller 14 between adjacent first rollers 13, the frictional force generated between the second roller 14 and the metal parts can adjust the metal parts in the vertical direction, allowing the metal parts to adjust the conveying shape more fully.

[0036] Meanwhile, the second rollers 14 are spaced apart on the chute 11, which can initially disperse the metal parts. In this embodiment, the second rollers 14 are covered with a second rubber layer, which is also for the purpose of protecting the metal parts from damage due to impacts, thus affecting the product yield. The second rubber layer is provided with raised patterns, which are herringbone shaped and in the same direction as the conveying direction of the metal parts, so as to drive the metal parts forward and prevent the metal parts from slipping backward during vibration.

[0037] like Figure 4As shown, in some other embodiments, the chute 11 is provided with herringbone protrusions 15 only between adjacent first rollers 13. The direction of the protrusions 15 is the same as the conveying direction of the metal parts, that is, the metal parts are no longer adjusted in the vertical direction, but only the metal parts are driven forward to prevent the metal parts from sliding backward during vibration.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sweeping assembly is installed in the feeding tray 1. The sweeping assembly includes a rotating shaft 16 with blades 17 at its end and a micro motor (not shown in the figure). The rotating shaft 16 is installed at the bottom of the feeding tray 1, so that the bottom end of the blades 17 is connected to the bottom of the feeding tray 1. The micro motor is connected to the rotating shaft 16, and the rotating shaft 16 rotates under the control of the micro motor, thereby driving the blades 17 to rotate. The metal parts at the bottom of the feeding tray 1 move along the edge of the bottom of the feeding tray 1 under the push of the blades 17 until they enter the chute 11, thus avoiding prolonged feeding time due to repeated vibration of the metal parts.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
