Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of constant flow valve manufacturing technology, and in particular to a feeding structure for a constant flow valve. Background Technology
[0002] As a widely used everyday ignition tool, the safety and reliability of lighters are of paramount importance. In the lighter manufacturing process, the constant flow valve is one of the core components, responsible for controlling the stable output of butane gas, which directly affects the lighter's ignition performance and user safety. Therefore, the manufacturing of constant flow valves requires high precision and high efficiency.
[0003] Currently, on production lines for constant flow valves in lighters, after a precise assembly process, one or more continuously moving assembly lines are typically formed, with constant flow valves arranged at specific intervals. However, the unloading process after assembly is generally done manually. This manual unloading method is inefficient and labor-intensive, increasing production costs. Even though some unloading solutions exist in other fields, these existing solutions lack adjustable bases and cannot be directly applied to the technology of constant flow valve production.
[0004] Based on this, in order to improve the efficiency of constant flow valve feeding, we propose a feeding structure for constant flow valve. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low efficiency of manual feeding, and to propose a feeding structure for a constant flow valve, thus providing a foundation for the feeding process of a constant flow valve.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] Design a feeding structure for a constant flow valve, including:
[0008] An adjustment base and a frame mounted on the adjustment base;
[0009] A transfer assembly and a clamping assembly connected to the transfer assembly are disposed above the frame;
[0010] The adjusting base includes a base plate, a middle plate is slidably connected above the base plate, and a top plate is slidably connected above the middle plate.
[0011] The top plate and the frame are fixedly connected.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom plate and the middle plate, as well as the middle plate and the top plate, are all connected by a sliding structure;
[0013] The sliding directions of the middle plate and the top plate are perpendicular. Adjustment seats are fixedly installed on the side and the upper surface of the bottom plate. Adjustment bolts are rotatably connected inside the adjustment seats. The two adjustment bolts are threadedly connected to the middle plate and the top plate, respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, the transfer assembly includes a first pusher fixedly mounted on the top side of the frame, and a slide block slidably connected to the inner top surface of the frame, with the shaft end of the first pusher connected to the slide block.
[0015] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided at the top of the frame, and a mounting seat that slides in the slide rail is fixedly installed on the top of the slide.
[0016] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a second pushing member fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and a clamping plate is slidably connected to the end face of the slide, with the shaft end of the second pushing member connected to the clamping plate;
[0017] Two pneumatic grippers are fixedly installed on the end face of the gripping plate.
[0018] Furthermore, two feed channels and a material distribution assembly are installed inside the frame, the material distribution assembly being used to convey finished products and defective products to the two feed channels respectively.
[0019] Furthermore, the sliding directions of the slide and the gripping plate are perpendicular, and the pneumatic gripper moves up and down above the material dispensing assembly.
[0020] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly includes a support plate fixed inside the frame, a fixing plate fixedly installed above the support plate, a motor fixedly installed on the end face of the fixing plate, and the shaft end of the motor passing through the fixing plate and fixedly connected to the material distribution hopper.

[0022] Furthermore, the support plate is inclined, and the two material channels are fixed above the support plate at intervals.
[0023] The present invention proposes a feeding structure for a constant flow valve, which has the following advantages: The present invention utilizes a designed transfer component and clamping component for feeding the assembled constant flow valve, thereby improving the feeding efficiency on the constant flow valve production line. Furthermore, since the adjusting base includes a base plate, a middle plate is slidably connected above the base plate, and a top plate is slidably connected above the middle plate, an adjustable base is provided, offering a better foundation for the feeding process and facilitating the feeding operation. Moreover, the preferred configuration of two feed channels allows for separate feeding of finished and defective products, simplifying subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 As an embodiment of this utility model, a feeding structure for a constant flow valve is disclosed. Specifically, the feeding structure includes an adjusting base 1 and a frame 2 installed on the adjusting base 1. Of course, the adjusting base 1 described in this embodiment can be installed on an assembly line. When the assembled constant flow valve moves to the feeding structure, the constant flow valve can be automatically fed through the feeding structure to improve the feeding efficiency of constant flow valve production.
[0031] A transfer assembly 3 and a clamping assembly 4 connected to the transfer assembly 3 are provided above the frame 2;
[0032] The adjustable base 1 includes a base plate 11, a middle plate 12 is slidably connected above the base plate 11, and a top plate 13 is slidably connected above the middle plate 12; the top plate 13 and the frame 2 are fixedly connected.
[0033] In this embodiment, the designed transfer component 3 and clamping component 4 are used to unload the assembled constant flow valve, thereby improving the unloading efficiency on the constant flow valve production line. At the same time, since the adjusting base 1 includes a base plate 11, a middle plate 12 is slidably connected above the base plate 11, and a top plate 13 is slidably connected above the middle plate 12, an adjustable base is provided, which provides a better foundation for the unloading of the constant flow valve and facilitates the unloading operation.
[0034] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 11 and the middle plate 12, as well as the middle plate 12 and the top plate 13, are preferably connected by a sliding structure 14. Specifically, the sliding structure 14 in this embodiment can be configured as a wedge groove and a wedge block sliding structure. In this embodiment, a wedge groove can be opened on the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 and the middle plate 12. Similarly, a wedge block can be set at the bottom of the middle plate 12 and the bottom of the top plate 13. The sliding stability of the middle plate 12 and the top plate 13 is ensured by the sliding cooperation of the wedge block and the wedge groove.
[0035] The sliding directions of the middle plate 12 and the top plate 13 are perpendicular. In this embodiment, the middle plate 12 slides along the length direction of the bottom plate 11, and the top plate 13 slides along the width direction of the bottom plate 11. Adjustment seats 15 are fixedly installed on the side and the upper surface of the bottom plate 11. Adjustment bolts 16 are rotatably connected inside the adjustment seats 15. The two adjustment bolts 16 are threadedly connected to the middle plate 12 and the top plate 13, respectively.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper end of the adjusting seat 15 is provided with a cross groove, and the end cap of the adjusting bolt 16 is located in the cross groove. During the adjustment, the user can adjust the two adjusting bolts 16 on both sides to control the movement of the middle plate 12 and the top plate 13 respectively. In this way, the front-back and left-right positions of the entire frame 2 can be finely adjusted to ensure the adjustability and accuracy of its installation position.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transfer component 3 includes a first pusher 31 fixedly installed on the top side of the frame 2, and a slide block 32 slidably connected to the inner top surface of the frame 2. The slide block 32 can be slidably connected to the frame 2 through a guide rail slider assembly, and the shaft end of the first pusher 31 is connected to the slide block 32.
[0038] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a slide 21 is provided on the top of the frame 2, and a mounting seat 33 that slides in the slide 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide 32.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments, the clamping assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a second pusher 41 fixedly installed on the mounting base 33, and a clamping plate 42 is slidably connected to the end face of the slide 32. The shaft end of the second pusher 41 is connected to the clamping plate 42.
[0040] Two pneumatic grippers 43 are fixedly installed on the end face of the gripping plate 42.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first pusher 31 and the second pusher 41 are cylinders, and the pushing directions of the two cylinders are perpendicular, that is, the sliding directions of the slide block 32 and the clamping plate 42 are perpendicular. In this embodiment, the pneumatic gripper 43 moves up and down above the material distribution component 6. In this embodiment, there are two pneumatic grippers 43, so as to satisfy the need to clamp and unload two constant flow valves at one time.
[0042] In some embodiments, two feed channels 5 and a material distribution component 6 are also installed inside the frame 2. The material distribution component 6 is used to convey finished products and defective products to the two feed channels 5 respectively.
[0043] Preferably, the material distribution component 6 in this embodiment includes a support plate 61 fixed inside the frame 2, a fixing plate 62 fixedly installed above the support plate 61, a motor 63 fixedly installed on the end face of the fixing plate 62, and the shaft end of the motor 63 passing through the fixing plate 62 and fixedly connected to the material distribution hopper 64.
[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the material distribution hopper 64 includes an inlet 641 and two outlets 642. The two outlets 642 and the inlet 641 are connected to the cavity of the material distribution hopper 64. The two outlets 642 are located at the two material channels 5 respectively. In this embodiment, the material distribution hopper 64 is generally inverted T-shaped. The inlet 641 is formed on the upper side of the material distribution hopper 64, and the two outlets 642 are formed on the bottom sides of the material distribution hopper 64 respectively.
[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment, the support plate 61 is inclined, and its inclination direction is such that the height gradually decreases towards the bottom of the adjusting base 1. The two material channels 5 are fixed at intervals above the support plate 61. Of course, two collection frames can also be installed on the table, and the two collection frames are placed at the tail ends of the two material channels 5 respectively, so as to collect finished products and defective products.
[0046] In actual operation, when the constant flow valve enters the unloading structure, the first pusher 31 pushes the clamping assembly 4 to extend. After the clamping assembly 4 moves to the predetermined position, the second pusher 41 drives the two pneumatic grippers 43 to move down. When the pneumatic grippers 43 move down to the constant flow valve, they begin to close and grab the valve body. After that, the second pusher 41 and the first pusher 31 begin to reset in sequence to transfer the grabbed constant flow valve to the unloading assembly 6.
[0047] At this time, if both constant flow valves are finished products, the distribution hopper 64 is first in an inclined position towards the finished product channel 5. At this time, the two pneumatic grippers 43 open at the same time, so that the constant flow valve enters through the feed inlet 641 of the distribution hopper 64 and is transported to the finished product channel 5 through a discharge port 642.
[0048] If one constant flow valve is a finished product and the other is a defective product, the pneumatic gripper 43 corresponding to the finished product will be opened first, so that the finished product is fed into the corresponding material channel 5. Then, the motor 63 controls the material hopper 64 to rotate at a certain angle, so that its bottom is tilted towards the material channel 5 corresponding to the defective product. At this time, the pneumatic gripper 43 corresponding to the defective product can be released to complete the feeding of the defective product.
[0049] Similarly, when both constant flow valves are defective, the motor 63 first controls the hopper 64 to rotate at a certain angle so that its discharge port 642 faces the material channel 5 corresponding to the defective product. Then, the two pneumatic grippers 43 can open at the same time, so that the two defective products can enter the material channel 5 at the same time for feeding.
[0050] In summary, this utility model utilizes the designed transfer component 3 and clamping component 4 to perform the unloading operation on the assembled constant flow valve, thereby improving the unloading efficiency on the constant flow valve production line. Furthermore, it is preferable to configure two feed channels 5 to meet the separate unloading operations for finished products and defective products, facilitating subsequent processing.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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.
