Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibratory feeder technology, specifically a vibratory feeder for spring clips. Background Technology

[0002] Spring collets are a typical type of automatic centering clamping element that plays an important role in machining. Their automated feeding needs can be efficiently met by vibratory feeders. As the core component of automated feeding equipment, the hardware structure of the vibratory feeder directly affects the feeding efficiency and stability.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN221679931U discloses a vibratory feeder for spring clips, including a vibratory feeder main body assembly. The vibratory feeder main body assembly has an adjustable limiting component on its side and a vibration adaptation adjustment component on its outer wall. This vibratory feeder for spring clips can only limit the height of the spring clips when they reach the end of the spiral discharge hopper, which easily leads to the lateral accumulation of spring clips. This makes it inconvenient for subsequent equipment to process the spring clips one by one, affecting the ease of use of the vibratory feeder. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vibratory plate for spring clips, which can quickly adjust the position of the limiting unit according to the diameter of the spring clip, thereby effectively meeting the high-efficiency sorting and discharge of spring clips, and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vibratory feeder for spring clips, comprising a support cylinder, a vibratory barrel at the upper end of the support cylinder, a spiral discharge hopper on the inner wall of the vibratory barrel, and a limiting mechanism.

[0006] The limiting mechanism includes an arc-shaped limiting plate, a chute, a spiral limiting plate, an adjusting seat, and a guide rod. The chute is located at the left end of the inner wall of the vibrating barrel. Notches are provided at both ends of the spiral discharge hopper. The end of the arc-shaped limiting plate away from the center of the support cylinder is slidably connected to the inside of the chute. The arc-shaped limiting plate is located at the upper end of the left notch, and the spiral limiting plate is slidably connected laterally inside the right notch. The left end of the spiral limiting plate is fixedly connected to the adjusting seat, and the lower end of the right surface of the adjusting seat is fixedly connected to the guide rod. A sliding opening is provided at the right end of the vibrating barrel, and the outer surface of the guide rod is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding opening. The arc-shaped limiting plate and the spiral limiting plate are installed in conjunction with the corresponding ends of the spiral discharge hopper, which can quickly adjust the position of the limiting unit according to the diameter of the spring clamp, thereby effectively meeting the high-efficiency sorting and discharge of the spring clamp.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism also includes a support, a lead screw one, and a lead screw two. The support is fixedly connected to the middle of the notch on the left side. The lead screw one is threadedly connected to the inside of the support. The upper end of the lead screw one is rotatably connected to the lower end of the arc-shaped limiting plate. The lower end of the lead screw one is fixedly connected to a knob one. The lead screw two is rotatably connected to the upper end of the right side surface of the adjusting seat. The middle of the lead screw two is threadedly connected to the middle of the vibrating barrel. The right end of the lead screw two is fixedly connected to a knob two, providing driving force for the position adjustment of the arc-shaped limiting plate and the spiral limiting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the vibrating barrel is fixedly connected to a symmetrically distributed connecting seat two, and the bottom wall of the support cylinder is fixedly connected to a uniformly distributed connecting seat one. The connecting seat one and the vertically adjacent connecting seat two are all connected by bolts with uniformly distributed spring plates. The end of the bolt near the center of the support cylinder is threaded with a nut to provide vibration support for the vibrating barrel.

[0009] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the left side of the support cylinder, and the input end of the controller is electrically connected to an external power source to control various electrical appliances.

[0010] Furthermore, an electromagnetic actuator is provided between the bottom wall of the support cylinder and the middle of the lower surface of the vibrating barrel. The input end of the electromagnetic actuator is electrically connected to the output end of the controller to provide driving force for the vibration of the vibrating barrel.

[0011] Furthermore, rubber sleeves are provided between the lower surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate and the upper end of the support, and between the upper surface of knob one and the lower end of the support. Rubber sleeves are provided between the upper end of the right side surface of the adjusting seat and the inner wall of the vibrating barrel, and between the outer arc surface of the vibrating barrel and knob two. Rubber sleeve one is provided between the upper end of the support cylinder and the lower end of the outer arc surface of the vibrating barrel to protect the lead screw and the components inside the support cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, a conical seat is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom wall of the vibrating barrel, and an inclined spiral surface is provided inside the spiral discharge hopper to assist in the sorting and discharge of materials by the spring clamps.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] Based on the diameter of the spring clips, the left-side screw mechanism enables the vertical movement of the arc-shaped limiting plate, ensuring that the distance between the arc-shaped limiting plate and the spiral discharge hopper meets the diameter of the spring clips. The arc-shaped limiting plate then pulls out the vertically stacked spring clips. The right-side screw mechanism then adjusts the distance between the spiral limiting plate and the inner wall of the vibrating drum. The spiral limiting plate prevents the spring clips from piling up laterally, thus achieving single-row sorting and discharge of the spring clips. This eliminates the need to replace the entire limiting device of the spiral discharge hopper, greatly improving the adaptability of the vibrating disc and ultimately enhancing its ease of use.

[0024] The limiting mechanism 3 also includes a support 33, a lead screw 34, and a lead screw 37. The support 33 is fixedly connected to the middle of the notch on the left side.

[0025] Wherein: the lower end of the vibrating barrel 2 is fixedly connected to a symmetrically distributed connecting seat 2 8, the bottom wall of the support cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a uniformly distributed connecting seat 1 6, and the connecting seat 1 6 and the vertically adjacent connecting seat 2 8 are connected by bolts 9 to uniformly distributed spring plates 7.

An electromagnetic actuator 10 is provided between the bottom wall of the support cylinder 1 and the middle of the lower surface of the vibrating barrel 2. The input end of the electromagnetic actuator 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 11.

[0026] Among them: a rubber sleeve 2 13 is provided between the lower surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the upper end of the support 33, and between the upper surface of the knob 1 and the lower end of the support 33 (both the upper and lower ends of the lower rubber sleeve 2 13 are provided with buckles, and the lower rubber sleeve 2 13 can rotate with the knob 1 under the action of the buckles). The rubber sleeve 2 13 provides protection for the lead screw 1 34.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] During operation, based on the diameter of the spring clip, the operator first rotates knob one. Rotating knob one drives screw one 34 to rotate. Screw one 34 moves vertically under the action of support 33. Slide 32 limits the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 to prevent the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 from rotating with screw one 34. At the same time, the upper end of screw one 34 moves, driving the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 to move vertically. Meanwhile, the end of the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 away from the center of the vibrating barrel 2 slides inside the slide 32. When the distance between the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 and the spiral discharge hopper 4 meets the diameter of the spring clip, the operator stops rotating knob one. Then, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 pushes the vertically stacked spring clips out through the notch on the left side of the spiral discharge hopper 4.

[0029] Then, turn knob two. The rotation of knob two drives lead screw two 37 to rotate. Lead screw two 37 rotates and moves outward under the action of vibrating barrel 2, thereby driving the spiral limiting plate 35 to move away from the center of vibrating barrel 2. At the same time, the guide rods 38 slide inside the slide, providing limiting and guiding functions for the movement of spiral limiting plate 35, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between spiral limiting plate 35 and the inner wall of vibrating barrel 2.

[0030] When the spiral limiting plate 35 and the inner wall of the vibrating barrel 2 reach the required distance, stop rotating the knob 2. The spiral limiting plate 35 prevents the spring clips from accumulating laterally and pushes out the excess spring clips through the notch on the right side, thereby realizing the single-row sorting and discharge of the spring clips.

[0031] Then, the personnel put the spring clip into the vibrating barrel 2. The personnel use the controller 11 to run the electromagnetic driver 10. The electromagnet of the electromagnetic driver 10 is fed with alternating current to generate periodic electromagnetic force. At the same time, the evenly distributed spring plates 7 convert the electromagnetic force into a composite vibration in the vertical and horizontal directions, forming a spiral upward track motion trajectory. As a result, the spring clip is spiraled upward under the guidance of the spiral discharge hopper 4.

[0032] When the horizontally stacked spring clips reach the right notch, the spiral limiting plate 35 pushes the excess spring clips out through the right notch. Then, when the spring clips reach the left notch, the arc-shaped limiting plate 31 pushes the excess vertically stacked spring clips out through the left notch. The conical seat 5 guides the spring clips to the edge of the bottom wall of the vibrating barrel 2, making it easier for the spring clips to enter the interior of the spiral discharge hopper 4. At the same time, the inclined spiral surface of the spiral discharge hopper 4 provides further limiting guidance for the movement of the spring clips.

[0033] It is worth noting that the controller 11 disclosed in the above embodiments controls the operation of the electromagnetic driver 10 using methods commonly used in the prior art.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
