[0002] Silicone gaskets are a type of silicone product with high market demand. They are pressure-resistant, high-temperature resistant, low-temperature resistant, and chemically stable. To improve production efficiency and ensure that each gasket undergoes strict quality inspection and accurate packaging, finished silicone gaskets are usually transported automatically and efficiently from the production line to the inspection and packaging area using a feeding mechanism.

[0003] The existing technology includes a Chinese utility model patent with application number 202220961760, entitled "Feeding Mechanism for Silicone Ring Production," which describes a mechanism that "comprises a motor, a rotating column, a mounting plate, a stirring plate, and an auxiliary sleeve. Starting the motor drives the rotating column, which is connected to its output shaft, to rotate. The auxiliary sleeve also rotates, and four mounting blocks hinged to both sides of the auxiliary sleeve rotate with it. The mounting plate is limited by two corresponding mounting blocks. Silicone rings are placed on the surface of the disc. When the stirring plate swings, it continuously rubs against multiple silicone rings, separating the silicone rings that are stuck together, thus improving the efficiency of the feeding mechanism." However, after the silicone rings are broken up, several rings inside the device need to be manually picked up for subsequent testing and packaging, increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a feeding mechanism for silicone gasket production, so as to solve the problem of silicone gasket feeding and conveying in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for silicone gasket production, comprising a machine body, a dispersing device connected to the top of the machine body, and a feeding device connected to the end of the dispersing device; The dispersing device includes a turntable with a number of evenly spaced circular holes on its surface. The bottom of the turntable is powered by a motor, and a stirring rod is installed above the turntable. The turntable surface is used to place silicone gaskets, and an arc-shaped plate is connected to the outer side of the turntable; The stirring rod is used to disperse the silicone gasket on the circular turntable; The dispersing device also includes a baffle for guiding the silicone gasket into the feeding device; The feeding device includes a conveyor belt, and hooks are fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt.

Example 1:

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a feeding mechanism for silicone gasket production is provided, including a body 4, a dispersing device connected to the top of the body 4, and a feeding device connected to the end of the dispersing device; The dispersing device includes a turntable 7, on the surface of which a plurality of circular holes 20 are evenly opened. The bottom of the turntable 7 is powered by a motor 9, and a stirring rod 3 is arranged above the turntable 7. The surface of the turntable 7 is used to place silicone gaskets, and the outer side of the turntable 7 is connected to an arc plate 10 to prevent material from splashing.

[0018] The stirring rod 3 is used to disperse the silicone gaskets on the circular turntable 7, so as to avoid material jamming due to adhesion or accumulation and improve sorting efficiency.

[0019] The dispersing device also includes a baffle 5, which is used to guide the silicone gaskets into the feeding device. The baffle 5 cooperates with the hook 11 of the conveyor belt 12 to orient the dispersed gaskets to the conveyor belt, reduce manual intervention, and realize continuous feeding.

[0020] The feeding device includes a conveyor belt 12, and hooks 11 are fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 is inclined upward. The inclined upward conveyor belt 12 uses gravity to make the washer fit with the hook 11 to prevent it from slipping during transportation. At the same time, the hook design ensures that individual pieces are separated and prevents stacking.

[0021] The hook 11 is used to hold the silicone gasket for conveying.

[0022] The top of the motor 9 is connected to the drive wheel 15 via a bearing. The drive wheel 15 meshes with the first gear 16. The first gear 16 is fixedly connected to the second gear 18 via a connecting rod 17. The second gear 18 meshes with the third gear 19. The turntable 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 17, and the first gear 16 is driven to rotate by the motor 9, thereby driving the turntable 7 to rotate. The third gear 19 is fixedly connected to the extension rod 2 in the middle, and the bottom of the extension rod 2 is connected to the stirring rod 3.

[0023] The third gear 19 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 1 at its middle part; Among them, the third gear 19 rotates at a fixed position above the turntable 7.

[0024] The diameter of the third gear 19 is larger than that of the second gear 18, which allows the stirring rod 3 to operate at a lower speed and higher torque, enhancing the dispersion force on the adhesive silicone gasket, avoiding material splashing caused by high-speed stirring, and facilitating the reduction of motor load and energy consumption.

[0025] The conveyor belt 12 is fixedly connected to guard plates on both sides to prevent the silicone gaskets from falling off from both sides. The protective plate includes an outer protective plate 8 and an inner protective plate 13, wherein the height of the outer protective plate 8 is greater than the height of the inner protective plate 13; The conveyor belt 12 is internally connected to a gear, which is connected to a motor 9 to drive the conveyor belt 12 to move.

[0026] One side of the baffle 5 is connected to the protective plate 6; The baffle 5 is located on the outside of the inner protective plate 13; The protective plate 6 is used to prevent the silicone gasket from falling off.

[0027] Working principle: The silicone gasket is placed on the surface of the turntable 7. The motor 9 drives the drive wheel 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 16 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 7 to rotate. The silicone gasket rotates on the surface of the turntable 7. The round hole 20 on the surface of the turntable 7 increases the friction with the silicone gasket. The top of the connecting rod 17 in the center of the turntable 7 is connected to the second gear 18. The first gear 16 and the second gear 18 rotate synchronously. The second gear 18 drives the third gear 19 to rotate. The bottom of the third gear 19 is connected to the stirring rod 3 through the extension rod 2. The stirring rod 3 rotates and disperses the silicone gaskets gathered on the surface of the turntable 7, making them evenly distributed. When the silicone gasket moves from the back of the baffle 5 to the front of the baffle 5, it falls into the surface of the conveyor belt 12 due to the obstruction of the baffle 5. The conveyor belt 12 tilts upward and conveys the silicone gasket onto the hook 11 on the surface of the conveyor belt 12, and it is transported to the next processing step.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of this disclosure (including the claims) is limited to these examples; within the scope of this invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of this invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
