Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing auxiliary technology, and in particular to a bearing feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings are precision components used to reduce the coefficient of friction during mechanical rotation and to ensure the fixed position of the shaft center. They play a role in supporting rotating shafts and reducing friction and wear in mechanical transmission. They are widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as automobile engines, industrial motors, and machine tools, and are key components to ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment and improve its operating efficiency.
[0003] In the production and processing of bearings, in order to improve production efficiency, ensure processing accuracy and production continuity, a feeding device is required. The feeding device is a mechanical device that can automatically transport the bearings to be processed to the designated processing position. It replaces the traditional manual feeding method, which not only saves labor costs, but also avoids the problems of processing errors and low production efficiency caused by the instability of manual operation.
[0004] The existing bearing feeding device has the following shortcomings:
[0005] Firstly, most existing equipment uses a single gravity feeding mode, lacking control over the bearing descent process. The bearings are randomly stacked in the trough, making them prone to jamming. Once jammed, the feeding is interrupted, severely impacting production efficiency. When transporting bearings to the processing station, existing equipment cannot achieve automatic and orderly feeding, requiring manual intervention and adjustment. This not only increases labor costs but also makes it difficult to ensure that the feeding rhythm matches the processing rhythm, leading to a decrease in processing accuracy. Secondly, existing equipment lacks a reliable bearing buffer structure in the bearing conveying process. The bearings collide with each other during the descent and stacking process, easily causing surface damage and affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0008] The support platform includes a support plate, and a material drop chute that runs vertically through the top front side of the support plate.
[0009] The conveyor includes a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the support plate. The output shaft of the drive motor extends through the top of the support plate and is fixedly connected to a rotating plate. The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate. The lower surface of the drive motor has six connecting slots arranged in a ring array. The bottom end of the connecting slot on the front side is aligned with the top end of the material drop chute. The outer surface of the rotating plate has six connecting grooves arranged in a ring array. The top end of the connecting slot extends through to the lower surface of the connecting groove. The bottom end of the storage cylinder is connected to the upper surface of the connecting groove.
[0010] Preferably, a sliding push plate is slidably connected to the inner surface of the connecting chute, a vertically penetrating placement groove is provided at the top of the material discharge chute, a clamping spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding push plate, and the end of the clamping spring away from the sliding push plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting chute.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to four support columns in a circular array, and the bottom ends of the four support columns are fixedly connected to a base.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the material discharge chute is provided with a material guide rail, the material guide rail is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower surface of the support plate, and a semi-circular dome block is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the outer surface of the support plate.
[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the storage cylinder has an inwardly penetrating opening groove on its front side.
[0014] Preferably, a T-shaped gasket is slidably connected to the inner surface of the opening groove, and the rear end of the T-shaped gasket extends into the interior of the storage cylinder and a buffer pad is fixedly connected to its outer surface.
[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, the rotating plate is driven by a drive motor to rotate, so that the storage cylinder rotates to a specific position. In conjunction with the semi-circular dome block to squeeze the sliding push plate, the placement slot, the connecting slot, and the dropping slot are aligned in sequence, so that the bearing falls in an orderly and automatic manner. This automatic feeding structure replaces the traditional feeding method that relies on manual intervention, reduces the input of manpower, and avoids the problem of feeding interruption caused by unstable manual operation through precise mechanical transmission control, ensuring the continuity of feeding and significantly improving production efficiency.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting a sliding T-shaped pad and a buffer pad in the opening groove of the storage cylinder, when the bearings are stacked in the storage cylinder, the bearings that fall in later will contact the buffer pad. The buffer pad's buffering effect effectively avoids direct collision between bearings and prevents damage to the bearing surface. At the same time, this buffer structure, in conjunction with the automatic feeding process, ensures that the bearings are properly protected throughout the feeding process, thereby improving the finished quality of the bearings.

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a bearing feeding device, including a support platform 1, a conveyor platform 2 rotatably connected to the top of the support platform 1, six storage cylinders 3 fixedly connected in a circular array to the top of the conveyor platform 2, a top cover 4 provided at the top of the storage cylinders 3, and a positioning pin 5 fixedly connected to the bottom center of the top cover 4. The support platform 1 includes a support plate 13, and a vertically penetrating material drop groove 14 is opened on the front side of the top of the support plate 13. The conveyor platform 2 includes a drive motor 21, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 13. At the center, the output shaft of the drive motor 21 passes through to the top of the support plate 13 and is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 22. The rotating plate 22 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 13. The lower surface of the drive motor 21 has six connecting slots 23 arranged in a ring array. The bottom end of the front connecting slot 23 is aligned with the top end of the material drop chute 14. The outer surface of the rotating plate 22 has six connecting grooves 24 arranged in a ring array. The top end of the connecting slot 23 passes through to the lower surface of the connecting groove 24. The bottom end of the storage cylinder 3 is connected to the upper surface of the connecting groove 24.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a sliding push plate 25 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the connecting groove 24. A vertically penetrating placement groove 26 is provided at the top of the material drop groove 14. A clamping spring 27 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding push plate 25. The end of the clamping spring 27 away from the sliding push plate 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 24. Here, when the storage cylinder 3 rotates to the semi-circular dome block 16, the semi-circular dome block 16 will squeeze the sliding push plate 25, overcoming the elastic force of the clamping spring 27, so that the sliding push plate 25 slides into the connecting groove 24. At this time, the placement groove 26 is aligned with the connecting groove 23 and the material drop groove 14, which facilitates the bearing falling and realizes precise control of the bearing falling channel, ensuring the orderly feeding of the bearing.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, four support columns 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 13 in a ring array. A base 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the four support columns 12. Here, the base 11 and the support columns 12 form a stable support structure, providing solid support for the entire feeding device, ensuring that the device will not shake or shift during operation, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the bearing feeding process.
[0028] like Figure 2As shown, a guide rail 15 is provided at the bottom of the discharge chute 14. The guide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower surface of the support plate 13. A semi-circular dome block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the outer surface of the support plate 13. Here, the main function of the semi-circular dome block 16 is to squeeze the sliding push plate 25 and control the opening and closing of the bearing falling channel. The guide rail 15 guides the bearing falling from the discharge chute 14. It is inclined and has a smooth surface. Under the action of gravity, the bearing slides along the guide rail 15 and can be accurately transported to the designated position of the subsequent processing equipment, avoiding the bearing from shifting or falling during the transportation process, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer surface of the storage cylinder 3 has a through-hole groove 31. This groove 31 provides sliding space for the T-shaped gasket 32, allowing it to slide up and down inside the storage cylinder 3, thus providing cushioning protection for the bearings. Simultaneously, the groove 31 also facilitates the operator's observation of the bearings stored inside the storage cylinder 3, enabling timely replenishment.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a T-shaped washer 32 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the opening groove 31. The rear end of the T-shaped washer 32 extends into the interior of the storage cylinder 3, and a buffer pad 33 is fixedly connected to its outer surface. Here, when a bearing is placed into the storage cylinder 3, the T-shaped washer 32 can be placed inside the storage cylinder 3 through the opening groove 31, so that the buffer pad 33 is positioned above the bearing. As subsequent bearings are continuously placed in, the newly falling bearings will come into contact with the buffer pad 33. The buffer pad 33 is made of elastic material, which can effectively absorb impact force, avoid direct collision between bearings, prevent scratches, dents, and other damage to the bearing surface, and ensure the quality of the bearing.
[0031] The usage method and working principle of this device are as follows: Before use, multiple bearings are placed into the storage cylinder 3 in sequence. After the bearing is placed in each storage cylinder 3, the T-shaped pad 32 and the buffer pad 33 are placed on top of the bearing through the opening slot 31. The drive motor 21 is started, and the drive motor 21 drives the rotating plate 22 to rotate. The rotating plate 22 drives the six storage cylinders 3 at the top to rotate in a ring.
[0032] When the storage cylinder 3 rotates to the semi-circular dome block 16, the semi-circular dome block 16 presses the sliding push plate 25. The sliding push plate 25 overcomes the elastic force of the top spring 27 and slides into the connecting groove 24. At this time, the placement groove 26 is aligned with the connecting groove 23 and the dropping groove 14 in sequence. Under the action of gravity, the bearing at the bottom of the storage cylinder 3 first falls into the placement groove 26, and then passes through the connecting groove 23 and the dropping groove 14 in sequence, and finally slides along the guide rail 15 to the processing position of the subsequent processing equipment.
[0033] As the storage cylinder 3 continues to rotate away from the semi-circular dome block 16, the clamping spring 27 returns to its original deformation, pushing the sliding push plate 25 to slide outward, re-closing the placement slot 26 to prevent the bearing from falling prematurely. As the rotating plate 22 continues to rotate, the six storage cylinders 3 pass through the semi-circular dome block 16 in sequence, realizing the circulation and orderly feeding of the bearing. Throughout the process, the T-shaped gasket 32 and the buffer pad 33 always play a buffering and protective role for the bearing in the storage cylinder 3, ensuring that the bearing is not damaged during stacking and feeding.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
