Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vibratory feeders, specifically, it relates to a vibratory feeder with a lifting structure. Background Technology

[0002] A vibratory feeder is an auxiliary feeding device for automatic assembly or processing machinery. It uses pulsed electromagnets to make the hopper vibrate vertically. After being subjected to this vibration, the parts rise along the spiral track and automatically enter the assembly or processing position in a uniform state according to the assembly or processing requirements. It is widely used in various industries such as electronics, hardware, plastics, watchmaking, batteries, food, and connectors.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 216710661 U discloses a vibratory feeder with a lifting structure, including a hopper and a chassis. A protective plate is rotatably connected to the top of the hopper. A base is provided at the bottom of the chassis, and multiple support screws are equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the chassis. The bottom ends of the support screws are all connected to the interior of the base via bearings. Driven wheels are fixed on four support screws inside the chassis, and the four driven wheels are connected by belts. By setting a surrounding lifting structure on the outer side of the chassis, the hopper can be moved up and down for lifting, thus facilitating the alignment of the hopper's outlet with the feed inlet on the processing line, improving the applicability of the vibratory feeder. Springs and buffer pads provide cushioning protection for the chassis, preventing vibration force from acting on the support screws through the connecting sleeve during hopper and chassis operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the support screws and base during use and improving the overall stability of the vibratory feeder.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent enables the vibratory feeder to be raised and lowered, an excessively long screw can negatively impact transportation efficiency. Specifically, an overly long screw increases space requirements during transport, leading to inconvenience and increased costs. Due to the longer screw, the vibratory feeder requires more space to accommodate it during transport, reducing the space utilization of the transport vehicle. Furthermore, an excessively long screw is more susceptible to damage during transport, such as bending or deformation, which may cause problems during installation and use, affecting its normal operation.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a vibratory feeder with a lifting structure, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A vibratory feeder with a lifting structure includes: a vibratory feeder body and a lifting structure. The lifting structure is located below the vibratory feeder plate. The lifting structure includes a mounting box. A linear cylinder is installed inside the mounting box. The output end of the linear cylinder extends out of the mounting box and is fixedly connected to the plate. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the vibratory feeder body. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate. A guide hole adapted to the guide rod is opened through the opposite side of the plate. A hinge mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the mounting box.

[0009] Optionally, the hinge mechanism includes rotating members that are rotatably connected to both sides of the plate. The rotating members include a first rod and a second rod that are rotatably connected to form an X-shaped structure. The two ends of the first rod facing the second rod are rotatably connected to a first connecting piece, and the two ends of the second rod facing the first rod are rotatably connected to a second connecting piece.

[0010] Optionally, a conical spring sleeved around the guide rod is fixedly connected between the lower part of the mounting plate and the upper part of the plate.

[0011] Optionally, fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting box, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the two edges below the mounting plate. The two first connecting pieces are rotatably connected to the misaligned mounting blocks and fixing blocks, respectively, and the two second connecting pieces are also rotatably connected to the misaligned mounting blocks and fixing blocks.

[0012] Optionally, a connecting plate with a diameter larger than that of the guide hole is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod that passes through the guide hole.

[0013] Optionally, positioning seats are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the mounting box, and through holes are opened on opposite sides of the positioning seats.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:

[0015] This invention utilizes a hinge mechanism that unfolds during the plate's ascent, enabling segmented lifting of the vibratory feeder. This segmented lifting design allows the vibratory feeder to be compressed to its shortest possible length during transport, significantly reducing its overall height and volume. This improves the space utilization of the transport vehicle, allowing more vibratory feeders to be loaded per trip, thereby reducing the number of trips and transportation costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a vibratory feeder with a lifting structure, including a vibratory feeder body 1 and a lifting structure. The lifting structure is located below the vibratory feeder body 1 and includes a mounting box 2. A linear cylinder 3 is installed inside the mounting box 2. The output end of the linear cylinder 3 extends out of the mounting box 2 and is fixedly connected to a plate 4. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the vibratory feeder body 1, and a guide rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 5. Guide holes adapted to the guide rod 6 are opened through the opposite sides of the plate 4. A hinge mechanism is provided between the mounting plate 5 and the mounting box 2. Through the hinge mechanism, the hinge mechanism will unfold during the upward movement of the plate 4. Specifically, the hinge mechanism consists of a first rod 7 and a second rod 8 arranged in a cross configuration. The two ends of the first rod 7 and the second rod 8 are rotatably connected to the plate 4 and the mounting plate 5, respectively. When the plate 4 moves upward under the drive of the linear cylinder 3, the included angle between the first rod 7 and the second rod 8 gradually increases, causing the hinge mechanism to unfold as a whole. During the unfolding process, the hinge mechanism pushes the mounting plate 5 upward, and the mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the vibratory feeder body 1, thereby causing the vibratory feeder body 1 to rise. Simultaneously, the guide rod 6 below the mounting plate 5 slides within the guide hole on the plate 4. The cooperation between the guide rod 6 and the guide hole ensures the stability and straightness of the vibratory feeder body 1 during the rising process. Through the unfolding and retraction of the hinge mechanism, the segmented lifting function of the vibratory feeder is realized.

[0027] The segmented lifting design allows the vibratory feeder to be compressed to its shortest possible size during transport, significantly reducing its overall height and volume. This improves the space utilization of the transport vehicle, allowing more vibratory feeders to be loaded in a single trip, thereby reducing the number of trips and transportation costs.

[0028] In this embodiment, the hinge mechanism includes rotating members rotatably connected to both sides of the plate 4. Each rotating member includes a first rod 7 and a second rod 8 forming an X-shaped structure. First connecting plates 9 are rotatably connected to both ends of the first rod 7 facing the second rod 8, and second connecting plates 13 are rotatably connected to both ends of the second rod 8 facing the first rod 7. The rotating members, forming an X-shaped structure with the intersecting first rod 7 and second rod 8, and rotatably connected to the first connecting plates 9 and second connecting plates 13 at both ends, allow the hinge mechanism to unfold smoothly during the ascent of the plate 4. This structure not only enhances the load-bearing capacity of the lifting structure but also makes the vibratory feeder more stable and reliable during lifting, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to uneven force distribution and extending the equipment's service life.

[0029] In this embodiment, a conical spring 10, sleeved around the guide rod 6, is fixedly connected between the lower part of the mounting plate 5 and the upper part of the plate body 4. The conical spring 10 can also provide a certain supporting force when the vibratory plate descends, avoiding sudden descent due to gravity and reducing the occurrence of damage to the vibratory plate due to impact.

[0030] In this embodiment, fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting box 2, and mounting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the two edges below the mounting plate 5. The two first connecting pieces 9 are rotatably connected to the misaligned mounting blocks 12 and fixing blocks 11 respectively, and the two second connecting pieces 13 are also rotatably connected to the misaligned mounting blocks 12 and fixing blocks 11.

[0031] The fixing block 11 and the mounting block 12 provide stable support points for the hinge mechanism, ensuring the stability and reliability of the hinge mechanism during the unfolding and retraction process. In addition, the thickness of the mounting block 12 and the fixing block 11 is adjusted according to the actual situation. Specifically, it is necessary to ensure that the first connecting piece 9 and the second connecting piece 13 can form a connection relationship with the corresponding structure.

[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 14 with a diameter larger than that of the guide hole is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 6 that passes through the guide hole. The diameter of the connecting plate 14 is larger than that of the guide hole, which can effectively prevent the guide rod 6 from coming out of the guide hole during sliding, thus ensuring the safety of the vibratory feeder during lifting and lowering.

[0033] In this embodiment, positioning seats 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower part of the mounting box 2, and through holes are opened on opposite sides of the positioning seats 15. The design of the positioning seats 15 and the through holes facilitates the installation and fixation of the vibratory feeder. Through the through holes, the vibratory feeder can be easily installed in the required position, such as by using bolts or other fasteners to fix the positioning seats 15 to the worktable or bracket through the through holes.

Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Technical aspects, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this utility model are all publicly known technologies.
