They use vibration to automatically and orderly orient disordered workpieces and accurately transport them to the next process. Conventional vibratory feeders simply have a single discharge track connected to a feeding disc for discharge, resulting in low feeding efficiency and failing to meet the needs of automated production. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] This application provides a feeding device to solve the technical problem of low feeding efficiency in existing feeding devices.
[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0022] It should be noted that any directional indications in this application, such as front, back, left, right, up, down, inside, outside, front end, rear end, left end, right end, upper part, lower part, left side, right side, longitudinal, transverse, axial, radial, front, back, etc., are all relative concepts.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 The following is an embodiment of this application:
[0024] A feeding device 100 includes a base plate assembly 11, a first vibrator 2, a feeding disc 3, a second vibrator 4, a feeding track 5 with a hanging plate 51, a third vibrator 6, and a return track 7. The first vibrator 2, the second vibrator, and the third vibrator 6 are respectively fixedly mounted on the base plate assembly 11. The feeding disc 3 is mounted above the first vibrator 2, the feeding track 5 is mounted above the second vibrator 4, and the return track 7 is mounted above the third vibrator 6. A diverter is fixedly connected to the front end of the feeding track 5. The device 8 is connected to the feeding disc 3 at one end. The return track 7 is set below the side of the feeding track 5 and connected to the feeding disc 3. The first vibrator 2 is used to transport the material in the feeding disc 3 to the feeding disc 8. The second vibrator 4 is used to screen the material on the feeding disc 8 and suspend it on the hanging plate 51 of the feeding track 5, and to transport the material on the hanging plate 51 to the rear end of the feeding track 5. The third vibrator 6 is used to return the material in the return track 7 to the feeding disc 3.
[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, by setting a diversion and guiding device 8 between the feeding disc 3 and the loading track 5, the material is transported to the loading track 5 via multiple tracks. At the same time, the material that fails to hang smoothly on the hanging plate 51 falls to the return track 7 for cyclic loading. Overall, the material is less prone to jamming during the feeding process, the material conveying efficiency is effectively improved, and the difficulty and cost of parts processing in the prior art are greatly reduced.
[0026] The specific working process is as follows: The first vibrator 2 conveys the material on the feeding disc 3 to the diversion guide device 8 of the feeding track through vibration. The material referred to in this embodiment is usually a granular material with metal leads. The second vibrator 4 screens the material on the diversion guide device 8 by its shape characteristics through vibration, suspends the material that meets the orientation and posture on the hanging plate 51 of the feeding track 5, and conveys the material regularly, neatly and in the same direction to the end of the feeding track 5 and stops. After the robot grabs the material at the end of the feeding track 5, it enters the next equipment production stage. The non-compliant material that fails to be properly suspended on the hanging plate 51 of the diversion guide device 8 will be vibrated and fall into the return track 7. The third vibrator 6 returns the material in the return track 7 to the feeding disc 3 for re-feeding through vibration. The material is circulated and fed to ensure that each piece of material is finally fed.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the diversion and guiding device 8 is a plate-like structure with a base 81, wherein a first side adjacent to the base 81 is connected to the feeding disc 3, and a second side adjacent to the base 81 is connected to the hanging plate 51. In this way, the overall structure of the diversion and guiding device 8 can be compact and occupy less space.
[0028] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the diversion guide device 8 has nine branch track grooves 82. Each branch track groove 82 has a straight track section 821 and a curved track section 822. The straight track section 821 is the longest at the point further away from the feeding track 5, and the shortest at the point closer to the feeding track 5. The straight track section 821 is parallel to the feeding track 5. The curved track section 822 includes an arc-shaped part 823 at the front end and a discharge part 824 at the end end. The discharge parts 824 on each curved track section 822 are spaced apart, and the discharge parts 824 are designed to be orthogonal and perpendicular to the feeding track 5. This optimizes the arrangement of multiple branch track grooves 82 within the diversion guide device 8.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, a notch 83 is provided between two adjacent discharge sections 824 on the diversion and guiding device 8, with the return track 7 located below the notch 83. It is understood that the diameter of the notch 83 is much larger than the size of the material. When the material on the diversion and guiding device 8 is conveyed to the feeding track 5, the opposite material that fails to be properly suspended on the hanging plate 51 can fall from the notch 83 into the return track 7. Through the vibration of the third vibrator 6, the material in the return track 7 is returned and conveyed to the feeding disc 3.
[0030] In one optional embodiment, the discharge section 824 is teardrop-shaped, and the arc-shaped section 823 and the discharge section 824 intersect at an angle of not less than 90 degrees.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, a cover plate 9 is also provided above the feeding track 5. The cover plate 9 has multiple discharge ports 91 spaced apart. The discharge ports 91 and notches 83 are arranged one-to-one on the left and right sides of the hanging plate 51. In this way, materials that fail to hang smoothly on the hanging plate 51 can also fall from the discharge ports 91 into the feeding disc 3, thereby making the discharge smoother.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, the feeding disc 3 is provided with multiple return grooves 31 at intervals at the position where it connects with the return track 7. The depth and width of the return grooves 31 are matched with the size of the material being carried. The return grooves 31 can make the material return more orderly and prevent the material from piling up at the position where it connects with the return track 7 on the feeding disc 3.
[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0034] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
