Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring-separated feeding technology, and in particular to a general-purpose spring-separated feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A general-purpose spring is an elastic element with wide applicability. It is usually made of elastic materials, such as steel wire and steel strip, and is wound or pressed through specific processing technology. It comes in various shapes, and the most common types are cylindrical helical springs, conical helical springs, leaf springs and disc springs.

[0003] With the rapid development of modern manufacturing, various industries have increasingly higher requirements for the production efficiency and precision of parts, and the number of high-quality springs needed is also increasing. However, traditional spring feeding methods often rely on manual operation, which can no longer meet the needs of large-scale rapid production in engineering. At this time, a general-purpose spring separation feeding mechanism is needed to improve the production efficiency of the production line.

[0004] Currently, the general-purpose spring-separating feeding mechanism on the market mainly consists of a separating mechanism, a feeding pipe, and a driving device. During use, the separating mechanism guides the springs into the feeding pipe in an orderly manner, and the driving device transports the springs within the pipe. However, because the springs are helical, multiple springs can easily become entangled within the device, hindering smooth transport. To solve this problem, existing technologies often use a vibratory feeder to separate the springs, allowing them to fall into the feeding pipe. However, this device does not allow for easy adjustment of the springs' posture, resulting in some springs being in a vertical position, which can easily contact the feeding pipe and cause it to jam, reducing the device's practicality and failing to meet user needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a general-purpose spring-separated feeding mechanism, which aims to improve the problem that a general-purpose spring-separated feeding mechanism in the prior art is prone to clogging the feeding pipe when some springs are in a vertical state.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a general-purpose spring separation and feeding mechanism, comprising a housing, a motor fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the housing, the output end of the motor passing through the housing and fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear, a threaded rod rotatably connected to the rear bottom of the housing, a driven bevel gear fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the threaded rod, the driven bevel gear meshing with the driving bevel gear, a lifting plate threadedly connected to the upper outer side of the threaded rod, a partition fixedly connected to the middle of the front inner side of the housing, guide plates fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the partition, a common baffle fixedly connected to the top of the rear ends of two adjacent sides of the guide plates, a support plate fixedly connected to the lower rear inner side of the housing, a pipe fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a feed inlet opened on the top left side of the pipe, the right end of the pipe passing through the housing, a push-out assembly provided on the rear left side of the housing, and a separation mechanism provided on the upper inner side of the housing, the separation mechanism being used to facilitate the separation of entangled springs.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The separation mechanism includes a separation plate, which is fixedly connected to the upper inner part of the box. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the box. The output end of the motor passes through the box and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod. A spur gear is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the upper inner part of the box. A half gear is fixedly connected to the adjacent end of the two rotating columns. The two half gears are respectively meshed with the corresponding spur gears. A striking rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the two half gears.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The ejection assembly includes an electric telescopic rod, which is fixedly connected to the rear left side of the inside of the housing. The right end of the electric telescopic rod passes through a pipe and is fixedly connected to a push plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The top rear side of the box is connected to a discharge port, and the inner dimensions of the box match the dimensions of the separation plate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The front of the box is provided with a door, and the upper and lower sides of the left side of the front wall of the door are fixedly connected with hinges. The door is rotatably connected to the box through the hinges.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] An observation window is provided in the middle of the front side of the box door, and a handle is fixedly connected to the right side of the front wall of the box door.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] Each of the four corners at the bottom of the box is fixedly connected with a fixing plate, and each of the fixing plates has a hole on its top.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A controller is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the front right wall of the housing, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor and the motor respectively.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, the motor drives the active bevel gear to rotate.

The separation plate will vibrate when struck, and the springs above the separation plate will separate due to the vibration, so that they will not get tangled together, thus reducing the workload of the staff.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a general-purpose spring-separated feeding mechanism, comprising a housing 1. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 3 passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear 4. The motor 3 drives the driving bevel gear 4 to rotate. A threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the rear bottom of the housing 1. A driven bevel gear 6 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the threaded rod 5. The driven bevel gear 6 meshes with the driving bevel gear 4. When the driving bevel gear 4 rotates, the driven bevel gear 6 will drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate accordingly. A lifting plate 8 is threadedly connected to the upper outer side of the threaded rod 5. The lifting plate 8 moves accordingly. A partition 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front end of the inner side of the housing 1. Guide plates 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the partition 9. The top of the rear ends of the two adjacent sides of the guide plates 10 are fixedly connected to... A baffle 11 is connected to the box body 1. The baffle 11 can drop the vertically placed spring into the partition 9. A support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner rear end of the box body 1. A pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 7. A feed port 13 is opened on the top left side of the pipe 12. The spring falls into the pipe 12 through the feed port 13. The right end of the pipe 12 passes through the box body 1. A push-out component is provided on the rear left side of the inner side of the box body 1. A separation mechanism 2 is provided on the upper middle part of the inner side of the box body 1. The separation mechanism 2 is used to facilitate the separation of entangled springs. The push-out component includes an electric telescopic rod 14. The electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the rear left side of the inner side of the box body 1. The right end of the electric telescopic rod 14 passes through the pipe 12 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 15. When the electric telescopic rod 14 is started, the spring can be pushed to the right through the push plate 15.

[0034] Specifically, when using this device, the spring first falls from above onto the upper side of the inclined partition 9. Due to the inclined design of the partition 9, the spring rolls backward with the tilt angle of the partition 9. When the spring rolls to the top position of the lifting plate 8, the motor 3 starts working. The start of the motor 3 drives the driving bevel gear 4 to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 6 meshes with the driving bevel gear 4, the driven bevel gear 6 also rotates with the driving bevel gear 4. As the driven bevel gear 6 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 5, it drives the lifting plate 8 to move upward. The movement of the lifting plate 8 causes the springs to move upward. When the lifting plate 8 reaches its top position, the springs that were originally placed horizontally will roll down through the feed inlet 13 to the inside of the pipe 12. At the same time, the springs that were in a vertical position during the upward movement will be pushed by the baffle 11 and fall back to the position above the partition 9. Then, the electric telescopic rod 14 starts to work, which can push the springs in the pipe 12 to the right. Since the springs in the pipe 12 are all placed horizontally, there will be no blockage, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire sorting process, improving the practicality of the device, and meeting the needs of users.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The separation mechanism 2 includes a separation plate 201, which is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the housing 1. A motor 202 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 202 passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 203. The motor 202 drives the rotating rod 203 to rotate. A spur gear 204 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod 203. The rotating rod 203 drives the spur gear 204 to rotate. Rotating columns 205 are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the upper inner side of the housing 1. The adjacent ends of two rotating columns 205... Each end is fixedly connected with a half gear 206, and the two half gears 206 are respectively meshed with the corresponding spur gears 204. When the spur gears 204 rotate, the half gears 206 will rotate accordingly. The front middle of each half gear 206 is fixedly connected with a striking rod 207. When the half gears 206 rotate, they will drive the striking rods 207 to strike the separation plate 201. The rear top of the box 1 is connected to a discharge port 16. A spring can be added to the device through the discharge port 16. The inner size of the box 1 matches the size of the separation plate 201.

[0036] Specifically, when using this device, the spring is first inserted through the discharge port 16. After passing through the discharge port 16, the spring falls into the upper separating plate 201. Then, the motor 202 starts, which drives the rotating rod 203 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 203 further drives the spur gear 204 to rotate. Since the half gear 206 and the spur gear 204 mesh with each other, when the spur gear 204 rotates, the half gear 206 will also rotate. The rotation of the half gear 206 will eventually be transmitted to the striking rod 207, causing the striking rod 207 to strike the separating plate 201. The separating plate 201 will vibrate after being struck, and the springs located above the separating plate 201 will be effectively separated due to this vibration, preventing them from getting tangled together and reducing the workload of the workers.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The front side of the box body 1 is provided with a box door 17. The upper and lower sides of the left side of the front wall of the box door 17 are fixedly connected with hinges 18. The box door 17 is rotatably connected to the box body 1 through the hinges 18. The box door 17 can be opened through the hinges 18. An observation window 19 is provided in the middle of the front side of the box door 17. The observation window 19 makes it convenient for the staff to observe the operation of the device. A handle 20 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front wall of the box door 17. The handle 20 makes it convenient for the staff to open the box door 17.

[0038] Specifically, by opening the door 17, maintenance work can be carried out on the equipment inside the enclosure 1, and staff can observe the operation of the device through the observation window 19. A handle 20 is also provided to facilitate staff to open the door 17.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 Fixing plates 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the box 1. Holes 22 are opened on the top of the multiple fixing plates 21. The device can be fixed by using screws in the holes 22. A controller 23 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the front right wall of the box 1. The controller 23 is electrically connected to the motor 3 and the motor 202 respectively. The controller 23 can control the operation of the motor 202 and the motor 3 respectively.

[0040] Specifically, the fixing plate 21 can be fixed in the hole 22 by using screws, thereby fixing the device. The operation of the motor 202 and the motor 3 can be controlled by the controller 23. The motor 202 is a miniature F130 and the motor 3 is an MS8012.

[0041] Working principle: When using this device, the spring first falls onto the upper side of the partition 9. Since the partition 9 is placed at an angle, the spring rolls to the rear side of the partition 9. When the spring rolls to the top of the lifting plate 8, the motor 3 starts. The motor 3 drives the active bevel gear 4 to rotate. Since the driven bevel gear 6 meshes with the active bevel gear 4, the driven bevel gear 6 drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate. When the threaded rod 5 rotates, the lifting plate 8 drives the spring to move upward. When the lifting plate 8 moves to the top, the horizontally placed spring rolls down through the feed port 13 into the inside of the pipe 12. The vertically placed spring is pushed back onto the partition 9 by the baffle 11 during its upward movement. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 14 starts, which pushes the spring in the pipe 12 to the right. Since all the springs in the pipe 12 are placed horizontally, there will be no blockage of the pipe 12.

[0042] Furthermore, when using this device, the spring is first placed into the device through the discharge port 16. The spring will fall above the separating plate 201 through the discharge port 16. At this time, the motor 202 starts, which will drive the rotating rod 203 to rotate. The rotating rod 203 will drive the spur gear 204 to rotate. Since the half gear 206 and the spur gear 204 mesh with each other, the half gear 206 will drive the striking rod 207 to strike the separating plate 201. The separating plate 201 will vibrate when it is struck, and the springs above the separating plate 201 will separate due to the vibration and will not become entangled with each other.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
