Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel ball conveying technology, and specifically relates to a steel ball feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] As an important basic component in industry, steel balls have diverse production processes and material choices, covering various types such as ground steel balls, forged steel balls, and cast steel balls, as well as different material classifications such as bearing steel balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, copper bearing steel balls, and alloy balls.
[0003] During the production of steel balls, steel balls of different diameters will appear, and it is necessary to separate and package steel balls of different diameters. However, existing steel ball sorting usually only sorts them. Before sorting, the steel balls to be sorted are usually cleaned in advance using cleaning and dust removal equipment. The cleaned steel balls are then moved for sorting, which requires multiple pieces of equipment. This method not only requires multiple pieces of equipment, but also requires a large space.

A funnel-shaped receiving pipe guides and conveys the steel balls to be sorted into a receiving and conveying assembly. The receiving and conveying assembly accommodates the steel balls, and dust removal brushes in a dust removal assembly clean and remove dust from the steel balls. While the dust removal brushes clean the steel balls in the receiving space, the steel balls rotate within the receiving space, achieving comprehensive dust removal and dust discharge through exhaust holes. After dust removal, the receiving and conveying component in the sorting assembly receives the dust-removed steel balls and conveys them to the sorting component.

Dust removal bristles 42 are installed on the end face of the dust removal inclined plate 41 near the conveyor belt 23. The dust removal bristles 42 extend into the receiving space. While the dust removal bristles 42 remove dust from the steel balls in the receiving space, the steel balls rotate within the receiving space, resulting in comprehensive dust removal of the steel balls. Dust is also discharged through the dust discharge holes. The steel balls to be sorted are guided and conveyed to the receiving conveyor assembly 2 through the funnel-shaped receiving pipe 25. The receiving space in the receiving conveyor assembly 2 accommodates the steel balls, and the dust removal bristles 42 in the dust removal assembly 4 clean and remove dust from the steel balls. The dust removal bristles 42 are used to clean the receiving space.

After dust removal, the steel balls are received by the receiving and conveying components in the sorting assembly 3 and transported to the sorting assembly. The sorting rollers 38 in the sorting assembly group concentrate and screen steel balls of the same diameter. Since the sorting rollers 38 are installed at an angle on the mounting frame 1, the steel balls can be collected together in the receiving box 311 after sorting, realizing automatic dust removal and sorting of steel balls, reducing manual intervention and intermediate downtime, increasing processing speed, and shortening the sorting cycle.

The receiving and conveying assembly 2 accommodates the steel balls, and the dust removal brushes 42 in the dust removal assembly 4 clean and remove dust from the steel balls. While the dust removal brushes 42 remove dust from the steel balls in the receiving space, the steel balls rotate within the receiving space, achieving comprehensive dust removal. Dust is also discharged through the dust discharge holes. After dust removal, the steel balls are received and conveyed by the receiving and conveying components in the sorting assembly 3. After the steel balls are transported to the sorting component by the receiving and conveying component and the sorting component, the steel balls are transported to the sorting component by the receiving and conveying component. The sorting roller 38 in the sorting component concentrates and screens steel balls of the same diameter. The sorting roller 38 is installed on the mounting frame 1 in an inclined state. Therefore, after the steel balls are sorted, they can be collected in the receiving box 311.
