Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of zipper conveying, specifically relating to a vibratory feeder that can uniformly output the orientation of zippers. Background Technology
[0002] A vibratory feeder is an auxiliary feeding device for automatic assembly or automatic processing machinery. It can arrange various products in an orderly manner and work with automatic assembly equipment to assemble the various parts of the products into a complete product, or work with automatic processing machinery to complete the processing of workpieces.
[0003] Vibratory feeders are commonly used for conveying zippers. While existing vibratory feeders can arrange zippers in an orderly manner, they typically only arrange the zippers vertically without adjusting their front-to-back orientation. This makes it impossible to achieve absolutely consistent orientation for zippers with different thicknesses on the front and back sides of the zipper head, which still presents inconveniences for subsequent processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a vibratory feeder that can uniformly output the zipper orientation in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The solution adopted by this utility model to achieve its technical effect is as follows:
[0006] A vibratory feeder capable of uniformly outputting zipper orientation includes a vibratory feeder body, a conveyor frame, a sorting tube, and an elastic diverter tube. A recovery tray is disposed on the outer side of the vibratory feeder body and is connected to the vibratory feeder body. The conveyor frame includes a support bracket and a sliding frame. The support bracket is mounted on the vibratory feeder body and is positioned above the recovery tray. The sliding frame is disposed on the top side of one side of the support bracket, and its input end is connected to the output end of the vibratory feeder body. The bottom of the sorting tube is disposed on the side of the sliding frame. A screening channel is provided between the body of the sorting tube and the top side of the sliding frame. One end of the elastic diverter tube is disposed on the recovery tray. The other end of the elastic diverter tube is located above the support bracket, and this end is located on one side of the sliding frame. The elastic diverter tube is located between the sorting tube and the output end of the sliding frame.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the vibratory feeder body is provided with an output plate and a guide plate; the output plate is connected to the vibratory feeder body; the guide plate is connected to the output plate and the sliding frame respectively; a guide plate is mounted on the vibratory feeder body, and the guide plate is mounted above the output plate and above the input end of the guide plate.
[0008] Preferably, the vibratory plate body is provided with a first air blowing pipe; the air blowing end of the first air blowing pipe is located above the output plate, and the air blowing end of the first air blowing pipe faces the guide plate.
[0009] Preferably, the sliding frame is provided with a slowing slope; the sliding frame gradually tilts downward in a direction away from the output end of the vibratory feeder body; the slowing slope is inclined upward in the direction of downward tilt of the sliding frame.
[0010] Preferably, it further includes an elastic buffer tube; one end of the elastic buffer tube is disposed on the recycling tray; the other end of the elastic buffer tube is located on one side of the support bracket; the elastic buffer tube is located between the sorting tube and the elastic diversion tube.
[0011] Preferably, a discharge rack is mounted on the outer side of the vibratory feeder body; the discharge rack is located at the output end of the conveyor frame; a transverse moving groove is provided on one side of the discharge rack; the transverse moving groove is connected to the sliding frame.
[0012] Preferably, a guide bracket is provided on one side of the support bracket, and the guide bracket is located below the part of the sliding frame that communicates with the transverse moving groove; a second air blowing pipe is provided on the recovery tray; the air blowing end of the second air blowing pipe faces the input end of the transverse moving groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A sorting tube is provided, and a screening partition is set between the tube body and one side of the top of the sliding frame. When the thickness of the two sides of the zipper head is different, the zipper output from the vibratory feeder body will fall into the recycling tray and be sent back to the vibratory feeder body when it passes through the screening partition with the thicker side of the zipper head. This continues until the zipper passes through the screening partition with the thinner side of the zipper head, ensuring that each output zipper has a consistent orientation, facilitating subsequent processing. An elastic diverter tube is also provided. Before the zipper leaves the sliding frame, it passes through the elastic diverter tube, preventing the zippers from being conveyed side-by-side, which also facilitates subsequent processing.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a vibratory feeder capable of uniformly outputting the orientation of zippers in a preferred embodiment. It includes a vibratory feeder body 1, a conveyor frame, a sorting tube 2, and an elastic diverting tube 3. A recovery tray 4 is disposed on the outer side of the vibratory feeder body 1, and the recovery tray 4 is connected to the vibratory feeder body 1. The conveyor frame includes a support bracket 5 and a sliding frame 6. The support bracket 5 is mounted on the vibratory feeder body 1 and is located above the recovery tray 4. The sliding frame 6 is disposed on the top side of one side of the support bracket 5, and its input end is connected to the output end of the vibratory feeder body 1. The bottom of the sorting tube 2 is disposed on the side of the sliding frame 6. A screening channel is provided between the tube body of the sorting tube 2 and the top side of the sliding frame 6. One end of the elastic diverting tube 3 is disposed on the recovery tray 4. The other end of the elastic diverting tube 3 is located above the support bracket 5, and this end of the elastic diverting tube 3 is located on one side of the sliding frame 6. The elastic diverting tube 3 is located between the sorting tube 2 and the output end of the sliding frame.
[0019] Specifically, the top of the vibratory feeder body 1 is provided with an output plate 7 and a guide plate 8; the output plate 7 is connected to the vibratory feeder body 1; the guide plate 8 is connected to the output plate 7 and the sliding frame 6 respectively; a guide plate 9 is mounted on the vibratory feeder body 1, and the guide plate 9 is mounted above the output plate 7 and above the input end of the guide plate 8.
[0020] Specifically, the vibratory feeder body 1 is provided with a first air blowing pipe 10; the air blowing end of the first air blowing pipe 10 is located above the output plate 7, and the air blowing end of the first air blowing pipe 10 faces the guide plate 9. After the zipper is output to the output plate 7, the first air blowing pipe 10 blows the zipper head as close as possible to the guide plate 9, and the product moves towards the guide plate 8 along the guide plate 9, so as to avoid the zipper falling off the output plate 7 back to the bottom of the vibratory feeder body 1.
[0021] Specifically, the sliding frame 6 is provided with a deceleration ramp 11; the sliding frame 10 gradually tilts downwards in a direction away from the output end of the vibratory feeder body 1; the deceleration ramp 11 is tilted upwards in the direction of downward tilt of the sliding frame 10. The deceleration ramp 11 is used to slow down the movement speed of the zipper and prevent the zipper from being squeezed and thrown off the sliding frame 6 due to excessive speed.
[0022] Specifically, it also includes an elastic buffer tube 12; one end of the elastic buffer tube 12 is disposed on the recycling tray 4; the other end of the elastic buffer tube 12 is located on one side of the support bracket 5; the elastic buffer tube 12 is located between the sorting tube 2 and the elastic diversion tube 3. The elastic buffer tube 12 can play a similar role to the deceleration ramp, and at the same time reduce the force of the zipper head rushing towards the elastic diversion tube 3, preventing multiple zippers from directly rushing through the elastic diversion tube 3 and causing it to fail.
[0023] Specifically, a discharge rack 13 is mounted on the outer side of the vibratory feeder body 1; the discharge rack 13 is located at the output end of the conveyor frame; a transverse moving groove 14 is provided on one side of the discharge rack 13; the transverse moving groove 14 is connected to the sliding frame 6. After the zipper head enters the transverse moving groove 14, it will swing the entire zipper in a horizontal direction, which facilitates subsequent processing of the zipper. A baffle structure is provided on the discharge rack 13 to prevent the zipper head from falling out of the transverse moving groove 14.
[0024] Specifically, a guide bracket 15 is provided on one side of the support bracket. The guide bracket 15 is located below the part where the sliding frame 6 connects with the transverse moving groove 14. When the zipper passes through, the lower pull ring is guided upward by the guide bracket 15. A second air blowing pipe 16 is provided on the recycling tray 4. The air blowing end of the second air blowing pipe 16 faces the input end of the transverse moving groove 14. When the zipper head enters the moving groove 14 from the sliding frame 6, it is blown horizontally by the second air blowing pipe 16. The zipper can be quickly adjusted to the horizontal orientation to continue conveying.
[0025] As can be seen from the above description, this utility model can unify the conveying posture of the zipper through adjustment, screening and other methods, which facilitates the subsequent processing of the zipper.
