Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, specifically an automatic feeding device for ceramic rings used in welding. Background Technology
[0002] When welding studs with a welding torch, arc welding is usually used. First, current is passed through to generate a continuous arc, which melts the contact surface between the stud and the plate. Then, the stud is immersed in the molten pool to complete the welding. This type of welding relies on instantaneous high temperature to directly fuse the studs. During welding, ceramic rings can be placed at the welding point to concentrate the energy generated during welding and reduce the welding time. Therefore, a device is needed to automatically feed the ceramic rings one by one to meet the needs of high-efficiency production.
[0003] Chinese patent CN212599229U discloses an automatic feeding device for circular materials, including a frame. The frame is equipped with a conveyor belt, a material bin, and a pushing assembly. The conveyor belt is powered by a stepper motor. The material bin is fixedly mounted at the inlet end of the conveyor belt. The pushing assembly is located at the outlet end of the conveyor belt. The pushing assembly includes a pushing mounting base positioned below the conveyor belt. The pushing mounting base is equipped with a sliding cylinder, a ejector cylinder, and a material platform. The moving end of the sliding cylinder is connected to a pushing plate, which is positioned on the conveyor belt. Above, the moving end of the sliding cylinder drives the pusher plate to move longitudinally. The material platform is set behind the conveyor belt. The retraction rod of the ejector cylinder is connected to the top block. The material platform has a through hole corresponding to the top block. The top block cooperates with the circular material. The material box has a guide assembly at its outlet. A material height limit plate is provided between the guide assembly and the material box. The circular material to be processed enters the guide assembly in a single layer after passing through the material height limit plate. The guide assembly includes two baffles arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The guide assembly directionally conveys the circular material to the pusher assembly. During the conveying process, the circular material is limited between the two baffles.
