[0028] Example:

[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0031] The feeding assembly includes two sets of feeding racks 5. Two sets of feeding racks 5 are installed at one end of the feeding rail 4. Each set of feeding racks 5 has a slide groove on one side. A feeding plate 6 is installed between the two sets of feeding racks 5. Sliders are provided on both sides of the feeding plate 6. The sliders are slidably connected to the slide groove. A support rod 7 is installed on one side of the slider. A connector 8 is installed on the support rod 7. A guide rod 9 is installed at the bottom of the connector 8. A camshaft 10 is installed on one side of the guide rail bracket 3. Two sets of cams 11 are provided on the camshaft 10. The cams 11 are slidably connected to one end of the guide rod 9.

[0032] By setting up the vibrating feeder 2, the internal hardware parts can be moved, allowing the user to orderly feed the parts into the feed rail 4, thus improving the orderly feeding of the mechanism. The user can drive the feed plate 6 up and down through the sliding connection between the cam 11 and the guide rod 9, so that the mechanism can control the rhythm of material entry and improve the feeding control effect of the mechanism. Through the sliding connection between the slider and the chute, the feed plate 6 can be guided to move smoothly, so that the user can ensure the stability of the feeding process and improve the smooth operation of the mechanism.

[0033] The feeding assembly also includes a first mounting bracket 12. The first mounting bracket 12 is installed on one side of both sets of feeding brackets 5. A mounting seat is provided at one end of the guide rod 9. A compression spring is installed between the mounting seat and the first mounting bracket 12.

[0034] By setting a compression spring, a restoring force can be provided to the guide rod 9, allowing the user to keep the guide rod 9 in contact with the cam 11 at all times, thus improving the component matching effect of the mechanism; the user can fix the position of the compression spring through the first mounting bracket 12, so that the mechanism can ensure the stability of the spring force and improve the elastic restoring effect of the mechanism.

[0035] Two sets of second mounting brackets 13 are installed on one side of the guide rail bracket 3. The second mounting brackets 13 are provided with camshaft holes. The camshaft 10 passes through the two sets of camshaft holes. A feeding belt 14 is installed on the feeding rail 4. The driven shaft of the feeding belt 14 and the camshaft 10 are both equipped with first pulleys on one side. The two sets of first pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0036] The second mounting bracket 13 supports the camshaft 10, allowing the user to rotate the camshaft 10 stably and improving the shaft support effect of the mechanism. The user can connect the driven shaft of the feeding belt 14 and the camshaft 10 through the connection of the first pulley and the belt, so that the mechanism can maintain the coordination of feeding and feeding actions and improve the synchronicity of the mechanism.

[0037] Please refer to, for example Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, limit slots are provided on both sides of the feeding rail 4, and a limit frame 15 is installed on one side of the feeding rail 4. A limit rod is provided at the bottom of the limit frame 15, and a limit rod passes through the limit slot.

[0038] By setting the limit rod, the position of the material on the feeding rail 4 can be restricted, so that the user can avoid the material deviation and improve the material limiting effect of the mechanism. The user can adjust the position of the limit frame 15 to change the position of the limit rod in the limit through groove, so that the mechanism can be adapted to hardware accessories of different specifications, thus improving the material adaptability of the mechanism.

[0039] A mounting plate is installed at the other end of the feeding rail 4. A motor 16 is installed on one side of the mounting plate. A second pulley is installed on both the output shaft of the motor 16 and the drive shaft of the feeding belt 14. The two sets of second pulleys are connected by a belt. The motor 16 is electrically connected to the control module 21.

[0040] The motor 16 provides power to the feeding belt 14, enabling the user to move materials on the feeding rail 4 and improving the material conveying power of the mechanism. The user can transmit the power of the motor 16 through the connection between the second pulley and the belt, so that the mechanism can drive the feeding belt 14 to operate.

[0041] A spiral feeding track 17 is provided on the inner wall of the vibrating feeder 2. A screening channel 18 is provided at one end of the spiral feeding track 17. The screening channel 18 is locked in the two sets of feeding racks 5. A vibrator 19 is installed at the bottom of the vibrating feeder 2. The vibrator 19 is electrically connected to the control module 21.

[0042] The spiral feeding track 17 guides the material upward, allowing the user to gradually bring the material closer to the feeding track 4, thus improving the material lifting and conveying effect of the mechanism. The user can use the screening channel 18 to screen out materials that meet the specifications, ensuring that the material entering the feeding component is qualified, improving the material screening effect of the mechanism, and enhancing the user's ability to control material quality. The vibrator 19 provides vibration force to the vibrating feeding plate 2, allowing the user to move the material along the track.

[0043] A support frame 20 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1. A control module 21 is installed inside the support frame 20. Shock-absorbing pads 22 are installed at the bottom of the support frame 20. The control module 21 can be a PAC DAM6800 model. The mechanism is powered by an external circuit. The shock-absorbing pads 22 are made of rubber.

[0044] The support frame 20 supports the entire mechanism, allowing users to keep it stable and improving its overall stability. Users can control the operation of each component through the control module 21, enabling the mechanism to achieve automated feeding and improving its automatic operation. The shock-absorbing feet 22 reduce vibration during operation, allowing users to reduce noise and vibration.

[0045] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0046] When using the device, the hardware parts to be processed are placed into the vibrating feeder 2, the mechanism is powered by an external circuit, and the control module 21 in the operating support frame 20 is used to start the equipment.

[0047] The vibrator 19 at the bottom of the vibrating feeder 2 starts working, generating vibration force to drive the internal material upward along the spiral feeder track 17. During the movement, the material passes through the screening channel 18. Material that does not meet the specifications is blocked by the screening channel 18 and falls back to the bottom of the feeder, while qualified material passes through the screening channel 18 and enters between the two sets of feed racks 5.

[0048] After the motor 16 starts, its output shaft drives the drive shaft of the feeding belt 14 to rotate through the cooperation of the second pulley and the belt, and the feeding belt 14 runs on the feeding rail 4. At the same time, the camshaft 10 rotates under the support of the second mounting bracket 13. The two sets of cams 11 on the camshaft 10 slide in contact with one end of the guide rod 9, pushing the guide rod 9 to move up and down. The guide rod 9 drives the feed plate 6 through the connector 8 and the support rod 7. The sliders on both sides of the feed plate 6 slide along the slide groove of the feed frame 5 to realize the up and down reciprocating motion and control the rhythm of the material entering the feeding rail 4. During the feeding process, the compression spring between the first mounting bracket 12 and the mounting seat of the guide rod 9 provides a restoring force for the guide rod 9 to ensure that it is always in contact with the cam 11.

[0049] After the material enters the feeding rail 4, it moves forward under the drive of the feeding belt 14. Limiting rods at the bottom of the limiting frame 15 are inserted into the limiting slots on both sides of the feeding rail 4. By adjusting the position of the limiting frame 15, the position of the limiting rods can be changed, thus limiting the deviation of materials of different specifications and ensuring stable material conveying along the rail. Furthermore, the driven shaft of the feeding belt 14 is connected to the first pulley on one side of the camshaft 10 via a belt, realizing the linkage between the feeding and feeding actions and ensuring synchronized operation.

[0050] When the mechanism is running, the shock-absorbing pads 22 at the bottom of the support frame 20 reduce vibration transmission, reduce noise and impact on the surrounding environment.

[0051] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
