Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot mounting machine technology, and more specifically, to a feeding device for a hot mounting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Hot mounting machines are one of the commonly used methods for mounting metallographic specimens. Currently, most hot mounting machines have automated the heating and pressure holding processes, but the process of filling mounting material still requires manual operation, which has become a bottleneck restricting the realization of fully automated hot mounting in metallography.
[0003] In addition, manual filling of the inlay material has the following disadvantages: First, the amount of filler is difficult to control precisely, resulting in inconsistent heights of the inlay samples; second, the process of filling the inlay material inevitably involves dust, which can easily cause harm to the human body if inhaled for a long time; and third, it increases the time of low-value labor for workers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a feeding device for a hot mounting machine, which aims to solve the problem that the dust generated by the existing manual filling of mounting materials inevitably causes harm to the human body if inhaled for a long time.
[0005] This utility model proposes a feeding device for a hot mounting machine. The device includes: a fixed support; a material cylinder for holding hot mounting material, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed support for adjusting the verticality of the material cylinder; a transverse feeding pipe disposed below the material cylinder and connected to the outlet of the material cylinder; a discharge pipe connected to the outlet of the transverse feeding pipe for discharging the hot mounting material output from the transverse feeding pipe into the hot mounting machine for processing; and a transverse feeding assembly disposed inside the transverse feeding pipe for feeding the hot mounting material output from the outlet of the material cylinder to the outlet of the transverse feeding pipe, thereby realizing transverse feeding.

[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned feeding device for the hot mounting machine, the level gauge is connected to an alarm, which is used to issue a warning when the level of the hot mounting material in the cylinder is lower than a preset level.
[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned feeding device for the hot mounting machine, a vibrating beater is provided on one side of the material cylinder and / or the transverse feeding pipe for striking the material cylinder and / or the transverse feeding pipe, thereby causing the hot mounting material in the material cylinder to fall into the transverse feeding pipe through vibration, or causing the hot mounting material in the transverse feeding pipe to fall into the discharge pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, in the feeding device for the hot mounting machine described above, the vibrating striker is a striking electromagnet, and the extension and retraction direction of the striking electromagnet on the transverse feeding tube is in the same direction as the length direction of the transverse feeding tube.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned feeding device for the hot mounting machine, the material cylinder is provided with an adjustment component for driving the material cylinder to rotate, thereby adjusting the verticality of the material cylinder.

While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, embodiments and features of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 4 The figure illustrates a preferred structure of a feeding device for a hot mounting machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the device includes: a fixed bracket, a material cylinder, a transverse feeding pipe, a discharge pipe, a transverse feeding assembly, a vibrating impactor, and an adjusting assembly; wherein,
[0025] The material cylinder is used to hold the hot-mounting material. The material cylinder is mounted on a fixed support in a rotatable manner to adjust the verticality of the material cylinder so that the hot-mounting material inside the material cylinder can be smoothly fed out.
[0026] Specifically, the fixed bracket can be fixedly installed on the upper side of the hot mounting machine using bolts or other connecting parts to provide fixed support for the device. In this embodiment, the fixed bracket may be equipped with a support ring, and the material cylinder is vertically arranged and passes through the support ring, which supports the material cylinder. The top of the material cylinder is a cylindrical structure, and the bottom has a funnel structure to guide the hot mounting material to the outlet; the funnel can pass through the support ring to provide overall support for the material cylinder. In this embodiment, the material cylinder is mounted on the fixed bracket in a rotatable manner, allowing for fine-tuning to adjust its verticality and ensure smooth feeding of the hot mounting material. In this embodiment, the material cylinder is equipped with a level sensor to obtain the material level of the hot mounting material inside the cylinder; the level sensor is connected to an alarm to warn the operator when the material level is lower than a preset level, reminding them to add material.
[0027] The transverse feeding pipe is located below the material cylinder and is connected to the material cylinder's outlet.
[0028] Specifically, the transverse feed pipe is positioned directly below the material cylinder, and the transverse feed pipe is connected to the material cylinder's outlet (e.g., Figure 4 The vertical connecting pipe connects the bottom end of the material cylinder to the outlet of the material cylinder. The vertical connecting pipe can be fixed to the outlet of the material cylinder by connecting flange and bolts to achieve communication and support the horizontal feeding pipe. The horizontal feeding pipe can be arranged horizontally, with its middle position set directly below the outlet of the material cylinder, and is introduced into the interior of the horizontal feeding pipe through the vertical connecting pipe.
[0029] The discharge ports of the feed pipe and the transverse feed pipe (e.g.) Figure 4 The right end shown is connected to the heat-inserting material output from the transverse feeding pipe and fed into the heat-inserting machine for processing.
[0030] Specifically, the feeding pipe can be vertically positioned directly below the outlet of the horizontal feeding pipe. The top of the feeding pipe serves as the inlet, connecting with the outlet of the horizontal feeding pipe, while the bottom serves as the outlet, which can be inserted into the inlet of the hot mounting machine. This allows the hot mounting material output from the horizontal feeding pipe to be fed vertically downwards along the feeding pipe under the influence of gravity, thus completing the feeding process.
[0031] The transverse feeding assembly is installed inside the transverse feeding pipe and is used to deliver the hot-insertion material output from the outlet of the material cylinder to the outlet of the transverse feeding pipe to achieve transverse feeding.
[0032] Specifically, the transverse feeding assembly can be installed inside the transverse feeding tube, and the two can be coaxially arranged to feed the thermally embedded material inside the transverse feeding tube laterally. In this embodiment, a feeding rack is connected to the fixed bracket to support the transverse feeding assembly. In this embodiment, the fixed bracket may also be provided with wire holes for threading wires.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, one side of the barrel (such as Figure 4 The left side shown may be equipped with a vibratory beater to strike the barrel, thereby causing the hot-insertion material in the barrel to fall into the transverse feed tube through vibration.
[0034] Specifically, the vibratory impactor can radially impact the feed cylinder to cause the hot-fitting material inside to fall into the transverse feed tube, especially preventing the hot-fitting material from remaining on the cylinder wall and causing material accumulation. Alternatively, a vibratory impactor can also be installed on one side of the transverse feed tube to impact it, causing the hot-fitting material to fall into the discharge tube. A fixing block can be connected to one side of the transverse feed tube, and the vibratory impactor can be arranged parallel to the axial direction of the transverse feed tube, applying axial vibration to the tube to allow the hot-fitting material inside to fall from the outlet of the transverse feed tube into the discharge tube. During operation, the vibratory tapper strikes the material cylinder and / or the transverse feed pipe, causing them to vibrate. This vibration causes the hot-mounted material, especially that on the cylinder wall, to fall into the transverse feed pipe, and also causes the hot-mounted material on the transverse feed pipe to fall into the discharge pipe. The vibratory tapper can be an electromagnet or other structures; this embodiment does not impose any limitations. The extension and retraction direction of the electromagnet on the transverse feed pipe is the same as the length direction of the transverse feed pipe, ensuring smooth material discharge. In this embodiment, the vibratory tapper may be connected to a distance adjustment component to adjust the distance between the tapping end of the vibratory tapper and the material cylinder, or the distance between the tapping end of the vibratory tapper and the fixed block, thereby adjusting the tapping force and achieving precise material discharge.
[0035] See also Figures 1 to 4 The material cylinder is equipped with an adjustment component to drive the material cylinder to rotate, thereby adjusting the verticality of the material cylinder.
[0036] Specifically, the fixed end of the adjustment component can be installed on the fixed bracket and / or support ring, and the power output end can press against the outer wall of the material cylinder to drive the material cylinder to rotate, thereby adjusting the axis and thus adjusting the verticality of the material cylinder.
[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4The transverse feeding assembly includes a screw feeder and a drive mechanism; wherein the screw feeder is connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism and is used to feed the hot-mounted material in a screw manner under the drive of the drive mechanism.
[0038] Specifically, the screw feeder is coaxially arranged with the transverse feeding tube, and is rotatably mounted inside the transverse feeding tube for screw conveying of the hot-inserted material within the transverse feeding tube. The screw feeder is connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism via a coupling, so that the screw feeder rotates under the drive of the drive mechanism to achieve screw feeding.
[0039] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes: an adjustment ring and at least three top rods (not shown in the figure); wherein, the adjustment ring is sleeved and installed on the outer periphery of the material cylinder; each top rod is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the adjustment ring, and each top rod is arranged below the adjustment ring in a position-adjustable manner along the axial direction of the material cylinder, for pressing the adjustment ring to adjust its position, thereby driving the material cylinder to rotate and realize verticality adjustment.
[0040] Specifically, the adjusting ring can be coaxially mounted with the funnel structure of the material cylinder and sleeved on the outer periphery of the funnel structure. The two can be fixedly connected by bolts or welding. At least three top rods are arranged circumferentially below the adjusting ring, and each top rod is mounted on the support ring in a position-adjustable manner along the axial direction of the material cylinder. By adjusting the position, the top rod can press against the adjusting ring to achieve fine adjustment of the axis, thereby driving the material cylinder to rotate and achieving position adjustment of the material cylinder axis, i.e., adjustment of verticality.
[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support ring is provided with threaded through holes corresponding one-to-one with the top rods. The top rods can be threaded rods that pass through the threaded through holes. It should be noted that the dimensions of the threaded rods can be determined according to specific circumstances, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on them. When adjusting the verticality of the adjusting ring through the top rods, the position of the adjusting ring corresponding to the top rod can be moved along the height direction by rotating the threaded rod knob. By coordinating the height adjustment of multiple top rods, the verticality of the adjusting ring can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the verticality of the barrel. In this embodiment, the threaded rods and threaded through holes work together to adjust the verticality of the barrel, resulting in a simple structure, convenient operation, and easy control over the verticality of the barrel.
[0042] In another embodiment of this utility model, the support ring is provided with connecting through holes corresponding to the top rods. The top rod can be a smooth straight rod that slidably passes through the connecting through holes and is connected to the support ring through a clamping member. In specific implementations, the cross-sectional shape of the straight rod and the cross-sectional shape of the connecting through holes can be circular. However, this utility model is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the shape of the straight rod and the connecting through holes can be appropriate shapes, such as squares, rhombuses, etc. The specific adjustment method is as follows: the verticality of the adjusting ring can be adjusted by releasing the clamping member and then adjusting the straight rod through the connecting through holes along the height direction to adjust the verticality of the adjusting ring, thereby adjusting the verticality of the material cylinder. After adjustment, it can be clamped by the clamping member.
[0043] In summary, the feeding device for the hot mounting machine provided in this embodiment uses a cylinder to hold the hot mounting material, which is rotatably mounted on a fixed support. The verticality can be adjusted to ensure smooth feeding of the hot mounting material. The hot mounting material output from the cylinder outlet is fed to the outlet of the horizontal feeding pipe through the horizontal feeding pipe and the internal horizontal feeding assembly, thus achieving horizontal feeding and feeding it to the unloading pipe. The hot mounting material output from the horizontal feeding pipe can then be fed into the hot mounting machine for processing. This solves the problem that the existing manual filling of mounting material inevitably produces dust, which can easily cause harm to the human body if inhaled for a long time.
