Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, specifically to a feeding arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of society, quality inspection is required for some products with large production volumes after processing. For example, some small rubber rings need to be inspected for size and surface after production. The traditional inspection method is to inspect by human eyes, which is inefficient. Therefore, automated inspection equipment has gradually emerged. However, how to transport the piles of rubber rings in the material box into the inspection device one by one for inspection is one of the core issues.

[0003] The existing method of feeding rubber rings into the testing device one by one involves feeding the rubber rings in the hopper into a vibrating feeding plate one by one, and then feeding the rubber rings one by one through the action of the vibrating feeding plate.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the method of conveying using a vibrating feeder requires frequent addition of rubber rings to the vibrating feeder, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding and arranging device that can quickly arrange and feed the products to be tested, thereby improving feeding efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a feeding and arranging device, including a material box, an elevator, and a conveying platform. The inlet of the elevator extends into the material box, and the outlet of the elevator is connected to the inlet of the conveying platform. A guide roller parallel to the conveying platform is rotatably mounted on the conveying path of the conveying platform, and a driving component for driving the guide roller to rotate is installed on the conveying platform. Actuating plates are spaced apart along the circumference of the guide roller. When the actuating plates rotate to face the conveying platform, the gap between the bottom end of the actuating plate and the platform surface of the conveying platform is sufficient for a single layer of products to be tested to pass through. A guide plate parallel to the conveying platform is installed on the conveying path of the conveying platform. The guide plate is located on the side of the guide roller away from the outlet of the elevator. One end of the guide plate is installed on one side of the conveying platform, and a gap is formed between the other end of the guide plate and the other side of the conveying platform. The gap width is sufficient for a single product to be tested to pass through. A guiding surface is provided on the side of the guide plate near the guide roller to guide the product to be tested into the gap.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during the feeding process, the product to be tested is first transported from the hopper to the feed end of the conveyor table via an elevator. At this time, the product to be tested will fall onto the conveyor table in a pile. Then, the conveyor table transports the piled product to the feed roller. At this time, the agitator on the guide roller moves the piled product to a single layer and then passes between the agitator and the conveyor table. Then, the guide plate guides the product to be tested through the gap one by one. Therefore, it is not necessary to add the product to be tested frequently as with a vibrating feeder. While meeting the feeding efficiency, the initially piled product to be tested can be arranged into a single row for feeding, which improves the feeding efficiency and ensures that the subsequent testing of each product to be tested can be completed accurately.

[0009] Optionally, the conveyor platform is equipped with a baffle cover in the process section, and the baffle cover has an inlet corresponding to the outlet of the elevator.

[0010] Optionally, the guide roller and the guide plate are positioned in an arrangement, and an overflow port is provided on one side wall of the baffle corresponding to the arrangement position, the overflow port being located on the side close to the gap.

[0011] Optionally, the hopper has an opening at the top, and the hopper is located directly below the overflow port.

[0012] Optionally, the baffle is provided with a guide cover with a lower opening at the overflow port, and the guide cover extends in a horizontal direction away from the arrangement position.

[0013] Optionally, the guide roller is inclined from the side of the conveyor table away from the overflow port toward the direction away from the inlet.

[0014] Optionally, a first mounting frame is fixedly installed on the support of the conveyor table, a first lead screw linear module is installed on the first mounting frame, a connecting frame is fixedly installed on the sliding seat of the first lead screw linear module, and the guide roller and the driving component are both installed on the connecting frame; the sliding seat of the first lead screw linear module slides toward or away from the guide roller towards the conveyor table.

[0015] Optionally, a second mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the support of the conveyor table, and a second lead screw linear module is installed on the second mounting bracket. The sliding seat of the second lead screw linear module slides in the direction of the gap width, and the guide plate is installed on the sliding seat of the second lead screw linear module.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention uses an elevator to directly connect to the material box, adding piles of products to be tested to the conveyor belt. Then, the guide rollers separate the piles of products into a single layer, and finally, the guide plate guides the products to be tested to be transported in a single row. This allows for rapid arrangement and feeding of products to be tested, improving feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, solution, and effects of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0025] This application discloses a material feeding and arranging device. (Refer to...) Figure 1The feeding and arranging device includes a material box 1, an elevator 2, and a conveyor 3. The material box 1 is a box with an opening at the top; the conveyor 3 is a horizontal belt conveyor, with one end of the conveyor 3 being the feeding end and the other end being the discharging end; the elevator 2 is a stepped conveying device, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here; the feeding port of the elevator 2 extends into the material box 1, and the discharging port of the elevator 2 is connected to the feeding end of the conveyor 3; thus, the products to be tested in the material box 1 will be transported one pile at a time to the discharging end of the conveyor 3 by the action of the elevator 2. In this embodiment, the products to be tested are rubber rings.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide roller 4 is rotatably mounted on the conveying path of the conveyor table 3. The guide roller 4 is parallel to the platform surface of the belt conveyor section of the conveyor table 3. Actuating plates 41 are spaced apart around the guide roller 4 in the circumferential direction. The actuating plates 41 extend in the clockwise rotation tangent direction of the guide roller 4. When the actuating plates 41 rotate to face the platform surface of the conveyor table 3, the distance between the bottom end of the actuating plate 41 and the platform surface of the conveyor table 3 is sufficient for a single layer of the product to be tested to pass through. That is, the distance between the bottom end of the actuating plate 41 and the platform surface of the conveyor table 3 is greater than the thickness of a single product to be tested but less than the thickness of two products to be tested, so only a single layer of the product to be tested can pass through. Therefore, when a pile of products to be tested passes the position of the guide roller 4, the actuating plates 41 can actuate the products to be tested to allow a single layer of the products to pass through. Furthermore, the actuating plates 41 are made of soft plastic, which can reduce the possibility of crushing the products to be tested. The guide roller 4 is driven to rotate by a driving component 5. In this embodiment, the driving component 5 is a motor.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A first mounting frame 31 is fixedly installed on the support of the conveyor table 3. A first lead screw linear module 32 is fixedly installed on the first mounting frame 31. The first lead screw linear module 32 can be a manual lead screw linear module or an electric lead screw linear module. In this embodiment, the first lead screw linear module 32 is a manual lead screw linear module. A connecting frame 33 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat of the first lead screw linear module 32. The guide roller 4 is rotatably installed on the connecting frame 33. The driving component 5 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 33. The output shaft of the driving component 5 is connected to the guide roller 4. The sliding seat of the first lead screw linear module 32 slides towards or away from the guide roller 4 from the conveyor table 3. Thus, the distance between the actuating plate 41 and the conveyor table 3 can be adjusted according to the size of the product to be tested to meet the feeding of products of various specifications.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A guide plate 6 is installed on the conveying path of the conveyor table 3. The guide plate 6 is parallel to the table surface of the conveyor table 3. The guide plate 6 is located on the side of the guide roller 4 away from the discharge port of the elevator 2. That is, the product to be tested will pass through the guide plate 6 after passing through the guide roller 4. One end of the guide plate 6 is installed on one side of the conveyor table 3, and the other end of the guide plate 6 forms a gap 61 with the other side of the conveyor table 3. The gap 61 is used to allow a single product to be tested to pass through. A guide surface 62 is provided on the side of the guide plate 6 near the guide roller 4. The guide surface 62 is an outer arc surface. The guide surface 62 is used to guide the product to be tested to the gap 61. Thus, when a single layer of products to be tested is conveyed to the guide surface 62, the products to be tested will pass through the gap 61 one by one.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A second mounting bracket 34 is fixedly installed on the support of the conveyor table 3, and a second lead screw linear module 35 is fixedly installed on the second mounting bracket 34. The second lead screw linear module 35 can be a manual lead screw linear module or an electric lead screw linear module. In this embodiment, the second lead screw linear module 35 is a manual lead screw linear module. The sliding seat of the second lead screw linear module 35 slides in the direction of the width of the gap 61, and the guide plate 6 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat of the second lead screw linear module 35. Thus, the width of the gap 61 can be adjusted according to the size of the product to be tested to meet the feeding of products of various specifications.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The conveyor platform 3 is equipped with a baffle 7, which is a transparent cover that extends in the conveying direction of the conveyor platform 3. A feed inlet 71 is provided at the discharge port of the elevator 2, ensuring that the product to be tested exiting the discharge port of the elevator 2 falls accurately onto the conveyor platform 3. The baffle 7 also restricts the product's movement, allowing it to be stably conveyed on the conveyor platform 3. The guide roller 4 and guide plate 6 are positioned at arrangement 8. An overflow port 72 is provided on one side wall of the baffle 7 at arrangement 8. 72 is located on the side near the gap 61; the material box 1 is located directly below the overflow port 72; thus, during the arrangement process of the arrangement position 8, the overflowing test products leave the conveyor table 3 through the overflow port 72 and return to the material box 1, reducing the accumulation at the arrangement position 8 and improving the smoothness of the arrangement; the baffle 7 is equipped with a guide cover 9 with an opening at the bottom corresponding to the overflow port 72. The guide cover 9 extends in a horizontal direction away from the arrangement position 8, which can ensure that the overflowing test products leave the conveyor table 3 smoothly while accurately entering the material box 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 3The guide roller 4 is inclined from the side of the conveyor table 3 away from the overflow port 72 towards the direction away from the inlet port 71; the guiding effect of the inclined guide roller 4 allows the overflowing test product to leave the conveyor table 3 more quickly, reducing accumulation.

[0032] The implementation principle of the feeding and arranging device in this application embodiment is as follows: During feeding, the product to be tested is first transported from the material box 1 to the feeding end of the conveyor table 3 by the elevator 2. At this time, the product to be tested will fall onto the conveyor table 3 in a pile. Then, the piled product to be tested is transported to the material roller by the conveyor table 3. At this time, the piled product to be tested is moved to only one layer by the agitator 41 on the guide roller 4. Then, it passes between the agitator 41 and the conveyor table 3. Then, the product to be tested is guided one by one through the gap 61 by the guide surface 62 of the guide plate 6. After that, a single row of product to be tested can be formed and transported on the conveyor table 3 until it enters the detection device for detection one by one. The product to be tested that overflows in the arrangement position 8 will fall back into the material box 1 through the overflow port 72.

[0033] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of this disclosure. However, this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this disclosure.
