Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing steel ball conveying technology, specifically to a variable diameter buffer bearing steel ball slide structure. Background Technology
[0002] Steel balls need to go through multiple processes, including heat treatment, cleaning, screening and assembly. Each process requires transportation to ensure that the steel balls can flow smoothly. In order to enable the steel balls to be connected quickly and accurately between multiple processes and improve the overall production efficiency, transport slides are usually used to improve the transportation efficiency of bearing steel balls.
[0003] During steel ball transport, continuous acceleration within the inclined transport chute can easily lead to excessive impact force at the end (especially in long-distance chutes), potentially causing the steel ball to jump off the track or damage the equipment. In addition to achieving efficient steel ball transport, it is also necessary to intermittently decelerate the steel ball to reduce the impact on the equipment and itself due to excessive acceleration. To address this issue, we provide a variable-diameter buffer bearing steel ball chute structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a variable diameter buffer bearing ball slide structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A variable diameter buffer bearing ball slide structure includes a bracket, the top surface of which is provided with a variable diameter conveying unit for conveying steel balls, and the output end of the variable diameter conveying unit is provided with a transmission buffer unit for buffering the transmission speed of the steel balls.
[0007] The variable diameter conveying unit includes a collection hopper for storing steel balls fixedly installed on the top surface of the support, and a conveying wheel rotatably installed inside the collection hopper for intermittently conveying steel balls.
[0008] The transmission buffer unit includes a transport track installed at the output end of the variable diameter conveying unit, a top cover fixedly installed on the top surface of the transport track for spraying lubricant, and a buffer track fixedly installed on the side of the transport track to slow down the rolling speed of the steel ball.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that: two sets of air jets facing opposite directions are fixedly connected inside the buffer track, and air distribution pipes are fixedly connected to the sides of the air jets, with a fan fixedly connected to the input end of the air distribution pipes.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a plurality of atomizing nozzles are fixedly connected inside the top cover, an infusion tube is fixedly connected to the top surface of the top cover, and the atomizing nozzles are fixedly connected to the output end of the infusion tube.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the number of the conveying wheels is two, the side of the collecting hopper is fixedly connected to the conveying track, and the transport track is fixedly connected to the side of the conveying track.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the bottom surface of the conveying wheel penetrates the bottom surface of the collecting hopper and is fixedly connected to a gear. The gear is rotatably connected inside the bottom surface of the collecting hopper, and the two gears mesh with each other.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the collecting hopper, and the gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0014] 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:
[0015] 1. This utility model provides a variable diameter buffer bearing steel ball slide structure, in which steel balls roll from the inside of the variable diameter conveying unit to the inside of the transport track. The inclined transport track allows the steel balls to be transported along the predetermined trajectory of the transmission buffer unit. The atomizing nozzle atomizes the lubricating fluid transmitted by the infusion tube and sprays it onto the surface of the steel balls in small amounts and multiple times to reduce the resistance generated during the transportation of the steel balls.
[0016] During the transport of steel balls, the blower provides airflow to the jet nozzles, generating multiple sets of intermittent airflows through the opposing jet nozzles. The intermittent use of intermittent airflows slows down the rolling speed of the steel balls, reducing damage caused by collisions between the steel balls.
[0017] 2. This utility model provides a variable diameter buffer bearing steel ball slide structure. The produced steel balls are collected inside the collection hopper. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and at the same time, another gear meshing with it is driven to move relative to it, causing the two conveying wheels to rotate, further transmitting the steel balls intermittently to the inside of the conveying track.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a variable diameter buffer bearing steel ball slide structure, including a bracket 1. The top surface of the bracket 1 is provided with a variable diameter conveying unit 2 for conveying steel balls. The output end of the variable diameter conveying unit 2 is provided with a transmission buffer unit 3 for buffering the transmission speed of the steel balls. The transmission buffer unit 3 includes a transport track 31 provided at the output end of the variable diameter conveying unit 2, a top cover 37 fixedly installed on the top surface of the transport track 31 for spraying lubricating liquid, and a buffer track 32 fixedly installed on the side of the transport track 31 to slow down the rolling speed of the steel balls. The buffer track 32 is fixedly connected to two sets of air jets 33 facing opposite directions. The side of the air jets 33 is fixedly connected to an air distribution pipe 34. The input end of the air distribution pipe 34 is fixedly connected to a fan 35.
[0026] The transmission buffer unit 3 can be tilted. By tilting the transport track 31, the steel balls slide along the slope of the transport track 31, thus achieving the purpose of transporting the steel balls. The atomizing nozzle 36 atomizes the lubricant. The multiple atomizing nozzles 36 spray the lubricant onto the steel balls in small amounts and multiple times, reducing the resistance generated during the transport of the steel balls.
[0027] Multiple atomizing nozzles 36 are fixedly connected inside the top cover 37, and an infusion tube 38 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the top cover 37. The atomizing nozzles 36 are fixedly connected to the output end of the infusion tube 38.
[0028] The buffer track 32 is intermittently set inside the entire transport track 31. The jet nozzle 33 is equipped with multiple inclined jet nozzles 33. The fan 35 provides airflow to the air distribution pipe 34 and sprays it out through the jet nozzle 33. Two jet nozzles 33 are set opposite to each other. The oppositely set jet nozzles 33 will generate staggered airflow. Through multiple sets of staggered airflow, the rolling speed of the steel ball is slowed down.
[0029] In this embodiment, the steel ball rolls from the inside of the variable diameter conveying unit 2 into the inside of the transport track 31. The inclined transport track 31 allows the steel ball to be transported along the predetermined trajectory of the transport buffer unit 3. The atomizing nozzle 36 atomizes the lubricating fluid transported by the infusion tube 38 and sprays it onto the surface of the steel ball in small amounts and multiple times to reduce the resistance generated during the transport of the steel ball.
[0030] During the transport of steel balls, the blower 35 provides airflow to the jet nozzle 33, generating multiple sets of interlaced airflows through the relative jet nozzles 33. The intermittent use of interlaced airflows slows down the rolling speed of the steel balls, reducing the damage caused by the collision of the steel balls with each other.
[0031] Example 2: As Figure 1-5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the variable diameter conveying unit 2 includes a collection hopper 21 for storing steel balls fixedly installed on the top surface of the bracket 1, and a conveying wheel 23 rotatably installed inside the collection hopper 21 for intermittently conveying steel balls. There are two conveying wheels 23. A conveying track 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the collection hopper 21, and a transport track 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveying track 22. The bottom surface of the conveying wheel 23 penetrates the bottom surface of the collection hopper 21 and is fixedly connected to a gear 24. The gear 24 is rotatably connected inside the bottom surface of the collection hopper 21, and the two gears 24 mesh with each other. A motor 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the collection hopper 21, and the gear 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 25.
[0032] The collecting hopper 21 can collect the produced steel balls and pile them up inside. Two conveying wheels 23 are arranged alternately, and the groove formed by the combination of the two conveying wheels 23 is adapted to the steel balls stored inside the collecting hopper 21. The gear 24 set on its bottom surface can ensure that the two conveying wheels 23 rotate relative to each other. The top surfaces of the conveying track 22, the transport track 31, and the buffer track 32 are all provided with slides to assist the rolling of the steel balls.
[0033] In this embodiment, the produced steel balls are collected inside the collection hopper 21. The motor 25 drives the gear 24 to rotate, and at the same time, another gear 24 meshing with it is driven to move relative to it, causing the two conveying wheels 23 to rotate, further transferring the steel balls intermittently into the conveying track 22.
[0034] The working principle of this variable diameter buffer bearing ball slide structure will be explained in detail below.
[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the material is collected by the variable diameter conveying unit 2 and transported to the narrow track inside for intermittent conveying. The steel balls transported inside are lubricated by the conveying buffer unit 3 and are decelerated intermittently to prevent impact damage caused by high-speed movement between the steel balls.
[0036] The produced steel balls are collected inside the collection hopper 21. The motor 25 drives the gear 24 to rotate, and at the same time, another gear 24 meshing with it is driven to move relative to it, causing the two conveying wheels 23 to rotate, further transferring the steel balls intermittently into the conveying track 22.
[0037] The steel ball rolls from the inside of the variable diameter conveying unit 2 into the inside of the transport track 31. The inclined transport track 31 allows the steel ball to be transported along the predetermined trajectory of the transport buffer unit 3. The atomizing nozzle 36 atomizes the lubricating fluid transported by the infusion tube 38 and sprays it onto the surface of the steel ball in small amounts and multiple times to reduce the resistance generated during the transport of the steel ball.
[0038] During the transport of steel balls, the blower 35 provides airflow to the jet nozzle 33, generating multiple sets of interlaced airflows through the relative jet nozzles 33. The intermittent use of interlaced airflows slows down the rolling speed of the steel balls, reducing the damage caused by the collision of the steel balls with each other.
[0039] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
