Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing manufacturing technology, specifically to a feeding device for an automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects. Background Technology
[0002] In the bearing manufacturing process, an automatic optical inspection machine for bearing appearance defects is used to inspect the appearance of bearing rollers. After inspection, the rollers need to be conveyed to an oiling machine for oiling. Currently, the roller conveying between the automatic optical inspection machine for bearing appearance defects and the oiling machine mostly uses a conveyor belt structure. However, this structure has the following problems:
[0003] 1. The structure is complex, consisting of multiple transmission components, which not only results in high manufacturing and maintenance costs, but also makes it prone to failure during long-term use.
[0004] 2. During the conveyor belt process, the rollers are prone to jamming due to problems such as positional misalignment and mismatched transmission speed, which affects production efficiency and may even damage the surface of the rollers.
[0005] 3. Conveyor belt devices are bulky and occupy a lot of production space, which is not conducive to the optimization of production workshop space and equipment layout.
[0006] 4. The conveyor belt has poor adaptability to rollers of different diameters, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the width of the conveyor channel; at the same time, when there is a height difference between the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine and the oiling machine, the tilt angle and height of the conveyor belt are not easy to adjust, resulting in low versatility. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device for an automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for an automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects, comprising a feeding mechanism disposed between the discharge port of the automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects and the inlet of an oiling machine, the feeding mechanism comprising two mounting adjustment seats disposed on both sides of the discharge port of the automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects, a feeding plate rotatably connected at one end between the two mounting adjustment seats, a positioning plate hinged to the other end of the feeding plate, and spacing adjustment components disposed on both sides of the feeding plate; the positioning plate is detachably connected to the inlet of the oiling machine.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting and adjusting seat includes a rectangular mounting seat and an adjusting seat; the two mounting seats are detachably connected to both sides of the discharge port of the optical automatic sorting machine for bearing appearance defects, the adjusting seat is vertically slidably disposed in the mounting seat, and one end of the feeding plate is rotatably connected between the two adjusting seats.
[0010] Furthermore, the spacing adjustment component includes two positioning frames symmetrically disposed at the bottom of the feed plate, two first L-shaped plates symmetrically slidably connected within the two positioning frames, a second L-shaped plate symmetrically disposed on the two first L-shaped plates, and a driving component disposed at the center of the bottom side of the feed plate; the driving component is respectively connected to the two first L-shaped plates to drive the two first L-shaped plates to move synchronously in opposite directions.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving component includes a gear rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom side of the feed plate and a rotating seat disposed at the bottom of the gear; both horizontal sections of the two first L-shaped plates are provided with strip teeth, and both strip teeth mesh with the gear.
[0012] Furthermore, a vertical slot is provided on one side of the mounting base, and a first fastening bolt passing through the slot is threaded onto the adjusting base.
[0013] Furthermore, the rotating seat is threaded with a second fastening bolt that passes through the gear.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model abandons the traditional conveyor belt structure and uses a feed plate as the main conveying component. It achieves sliding conveying through the gravity of the rollers themselves, reducing the number of transmission components, reducing the probability of jamming and failure, and also reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.
[0016] 2. The present invention has a compact overall structure and a volume much smaller than that of traditional conveyor belt devices, which can effectively save production workshop space and facilitate the rational layout of production equipment.
[0017] 3. This utility model allows for adjustment of the height and tilt angle of the feeding plate by installing an adjustment seat, accommodating different height differences between the automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects and the oiling machine, ensuring that the rollers can slide stably under gravity. A spacing adjustment component is provided, which, through a drive component, can drive the first and second L-shaped plates to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the spacing of the guide structures on both sides. This allows for the adaptation of rollers of different diameters, ensuring that the rollers do not shift or fall off during transport.
[0018] 4. Most of the components of this utility model are connected in a detachable manner, such as the connection between the mounting base and the automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects, and the connection between the positioning plate and the oiling machine, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the device.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0026] This utility model discloses a feeding device for an automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects. It addresses the problems of complex conveyor belt structures, easy material jamming, and large space occupation in existing automatic optical sorting machines for bearing appearance defects. The device achieves stable roller transport through a simple mechanical structure and features height and width adjustment functions to adapt to different application scenarios. As shown in Figure 1, the device is installed between the outlet of the automatic optical sorting machine 1 and the inlet of the oiling machine 2. The core component is the feeding mechanism 3, which is detailed below.
[0027] The feeding mechanism 3 includes an adjusting seat 4, a feeding plate 5, a positioning plate 6, and a spacing adjustment assembly. The adjusting seat 4 has two units, each consisting of a rectangular mounting base 18 and an adjusting seat 7. The two mounting bases 18 are fixed to both sides of the outlet of the automatic optical sorting machine for bearing appearance defects 1 via bolts or other detachable connectors, ensuring that the mounting bases 18 are firmly attached to the equipment housing. A vertical groove is provided inside the mounting base 18, and the adjusting seat 7 is located within the groove and can slide within it. One end of the feeding plate 5 is rotatably connected to the two adjusting seats 7 via a pin, and the other end is hinged to the positioning plate 6. The positioning plate 6 is then detachably connected to the inlet of the oiling machine 2 via bolts, completing the initial setup of the feeding path. A vertical slot 15 is also provided on one side of the mounting base 18, and a first fastening bolt 16 passing through the slot 15 is threaded onto the adjusting seat 7. Tightening the first fastening bolt 16 fixes the position of the adjusting seat 7.
[0028] Since there is usually a height difference between the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the oiling machine 2, the height and tilt angle of the unloading plate 5 can be adjusted by installing the adjusting seat 4. The specific steps are as follows: loosen the first fastening bolt 16, at which point the adjusting seat 7 can slide freely along the vertical direction of the mounting seat 18; according to the actual height difference between the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the oiling machine 2, slide the adjusting seat 7 up and down, driving one end of the unloading plate 5 to rise and fall, and rotate the unloading plate 5 so that the positioning plate 6 can be matched with the height of the feed inlet of the oiling machine 2, and the unloading plate 5 forms a suitable tilt angle (ensuring that the roller can slide down naturally by gravity); after the adjustment is completed, tighten the first fastening bolt 16 so that its end abuts against the outer wall of the mounting seat 18, fix the adjusting seat 7 in the current position, and fix the positioning plate 6 at the feed inlet of the oiling machine 2 with bolts.
[0029] The spacing adjustment assembly consists of two positioning frames 8, two first L-shaped plates 9, two second L-shaped plates 10, and a driving component 11. The two positioning frames 8 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the feed plate 5 by bolts or welding; the horizontal sections of the two first L-shaped plates 9 are symmetrically slidably connected within the two positioning frames 8; the two second L-shaped plates 10 are respectively connected to the two first L-shaped plates 9 and symmetrically arranged. The driving component 11 specifically consists of a gear 12 rotatably connected to the center of the bottom side of the feed plate 5 via bearings, and a rotating seat 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear 12; each of the horizontal sections of the two first L-shaped plates 9 is provided with strip teeth 14, both of which mesh with the gear 12. Rotating the gear 12 drives the two first L-shaped plates 9 to move synchronously in opposite directions. A second fastening bolt 17 passing through the gear 12 is also threaded onto the rotating seat 13, and tightening the second fastening bolt 17 fixes the position of the gear 12.
[0030] To prevent rollers of different diameters from shifting or falling during the sliding process, the spacing of the guide structures on both sides needs to be adjusted using the spacing adjustment assembly. Specifically, the second fastening bolt 17 is loosened. Since the second fastening bolt 17 passes through the rotating seat 13 and the gear 12, after loosening, the gear 12 can rotate freely around the rotating shaft on the bottom side of the feed plate 5. By rotating the rotating seat 13, the gear 12 is driven to rotate synchronously. Because both horizontal sections of the two first L-shaped plates 9 are provided with strip teeth 14, and the two strip teeth 14 mesh with the two sides of the gear 12 respectively (e.g., ... Figure 4 As shown), when the gear rotates, it will drive the two first L-shaped plates 9 to slide synchronously in opposite directions within the positioning frame 8; when the first L-shaped plate 9 slides, the second L-shaped plate 10 on it moves together until the distance between the two second L-shaped plates 10 matches the diameter of the roller to be conveyed (ensuring that the roller slides stably between the two plates without deviation); after the distance is adjusted, tighten the second fastening bolt 17 so that its end abuts against the bottom of the feed plate 5 to fix the gear 12 and prevent the first L-shaped plate 9 and the second L-shaped plate 10 from shifting during operation.
[0031] If there is a gap between the installed second L-shaped plate 10 and the discharge port of the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the feed port of the oiling machine 2, the operator can add rotating fan-shaped baffles to both ends of the second L-shaped plate 10 to prevent the roller from jamming.
[0032] Working principle of this utility model:
[0033] I. Work Process
[0034] This utility model is used for roller conveying between the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the oiling machine 2. The conveying path from the discharge port of the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 to the feed port of the oiling machine 2 is built by the unloading mechanism 3. The rollers slide down the inclined unloading plate 5 by their own weight to achieve unpowered conveying. The specific process is as follows: the rollers processed by the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 are discharged from the discharge port and fall onto the unloading plate 5. They slide along the inclined unloading plate 5 and move stably under the guidance of the second L-shaped plates 10 on both sides. Finally, they enter the feed port of the oiling machine (2) through the positioning plate 6 to complete the unloading process.
[0035] II. Working Principle
[0036] The two ends of the feeding mechanism 3 are respectively connected to the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the oiling machine 2. One end is fixed to both sides of the discharge port of the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 through two mounting adjustment seats 4, and the other end is connected to the feed port of the oiling machine 2 through the positioning plate 6. Loosen the first fastening bolt 16, and the adjustment seat 7 can slide freely. Adjust the tilt angle of the feeding plate 5 according to the height difference between the bearing appearance defect optical automatic sorting machine 1 and the oiling machine 2 (to ensure that the roller can slide down naturally by gravity). Then, the other end of the feeding plate 5 is hinged to the positioning plate 6 so that the positioning plate 6 is connected to the feed port of the oiling machine 2. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the first fastening bolt 16, and fix the position of the adjustment seat 7 by pressing the bolt end against the outer wall of the mounting seat 18.
[0037] The spacing adjustment components are located on both sides of the feed plate 5. When adjustment is needed, loosen the second fastening bolt 17, rotate the rotating seat 13 to drive the gear 12 to rotate. Since the meshing direction of the two side strip teeth 14 and the gear 12 is opposite, the rotation of the gear 12 will drive the two first L-shaped plates 9 to slide synchronously in opposite directions along the positioning frame 8 (moving closer or further away from each other). The first L-shaped plates 9 drive the second L-shaped plates 10 to move synchronously, realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the two guide plates (the vertical section of the second L-shaped plates) to accommodate rollers of different diameters (ensuring that the rollers do not shift or fall off). After the adjustment is completed, tighten the second fastening bolt 17 to fix the position of the gear 12 and prevent it from sliding during operation.
