An automatic machine for attaching steel balls to chess pieces

Abstract

This utility model discloses an automatic machine for feeding steel balls onto chess pieces, including a main body. The main body includes a base, and an outer protective box is provided on the upper surface of the base. The front surface of the outer protective box has two doors. A conveyor rail is fixed to the middle of the upper surface of the base by mounting bolts. By designing an anti-drop protection mechanism, the movement of the auxiliary cylinder can drive the control slider to slide inside the control groove. When the control slider slides, it drives the anti-drop protection cover and rubber strip to move stably and close on the upper surface of the conveyor rail. The rubber strip contacts both sides of the upper surface of the conveyor rail to tightly close the anti-drop protection cover for protection. When the electric feeding tray feeds chess pieces into the conveyor rail, the anti-drop protection cover protects the chess pieces, making it less likely to deviate or fall off when conveying at high speeds. This ensures accurate feeding of chess pieces and more efficient feeding.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic machine technology, specifically relating to an automatic machine for attaching steel balls to chess pieces. Background Technology

[0002] Chess pieces are markers used by both players in chess games to move, capture, or occupy positions on the chessboard in order to achieve the winning conditions set by the game rules. During the production of chess pieces, steel balls are added to increase the weight of the bottom of the pieces, lower the center of gravity, and make them more stable. Steel balls are usually added to the chess pieces by an automatic machine, and the existing automatic machines are automated devices used to add steel balls to chess pieces.

[0003] Existing automatic machines, when using steel balls on chess pieces, first feed the pieces onto the surface of the conveyor rail via an electric feeding tray, and then the conveyor rail quickly feeds the pieces into the ball holder for steel ball loading. However, because the pieces are rapidly conveyed on the surface of the conveyor rail, which is not easily protected, and because the pieces are relatively light, they are prone to shifting and falling to the bottom during transport. This reduces the loading efficiency and affects the automatic machine's ability to prevent the steel balls from falling off the pieces during feeding. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic machine for loading steel balls onto chess pieces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic machine for feeding steel balls onto chess pieces, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the automatic machine is used to feed steel balls onto chess pieces, the chess pieces are rapidly conveyed on the surface of the conveyor rail, and the surface of the conveyor rail is not easy to protect. At the same time, the chess pieces are light and sometimes they are prone to deviating and falling to the bottom of the inner part during the conveying process, which makes it easy for the chess pieces to fall and reduce the feeding effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic machine for loading steel balls onto chess pieces, comprising a machine body, the machine body including a base, an outer protective box provided on the upper surface of the base, two doors provided on the front surface of the outer protective box, a conveyor rail fixed to the middle position of the upper surface of the base by mounting bolts, an electric feeding tray provided at one end of the conveyor rail, and a ball-loading seat fixed to the other end of the conveyor rail by mounting bolts; the automatic machine body also includes:

[0037] In this utility model, the auxiliary cylinder 1085 is model number PB10X10SU.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using this automatic machine for attaching steel balls to chess pieces, the machine body 100 is first placed stably in the usage position by having the bottom end of the base 101 contact the ground. After the machine body 100 is stably placed, the chess pieces are placed inside the electric feeding tray 1091, and the steel balls are stored inside the steel ball feeding box 109. During operation, the electric feeding tray 1091 feeds the chess pieces onto the surface of the conveyor rail 108. When the pieces are conveyed to the end of the upper ball seat 105 via the conveyor rail 108, cylinder one drives the push rod 106 to move and push the chess pieces to the upper ball position. The pieces are then fed from inside the steel ball feeding box 109 through the feeding pipe to the upper ball position on the surface of the chess pieces. Cylinder two drives the pressing rod 107 to move down and attach the upper ball. After the upper ball is attached, the push rod 106 continues to move and pushes the pieces out to the inside of the collection box 104 for collection.

[0039] Then, when the main body 100 of the automatic machine is in front of the steel ball on the chess piece, the auxiliary cylinder 1085 moves to drive the control slider 1084 to slide inside the control groove 1083. When the control slider 1084 slides, it drives the anti-drop protective cover 1081 and the rubber strip 1088 to move. When the anti-drop protective cover 1081 moves, the other end drives the guide rod 1086 to slide between the guide plate 1087, thereby making the anti-drop protective cover 1081 move stably and close on the conveyor rail 10. On the upper surface of 8, the rubber strip 1088 contacts both sides of the upper surface of the conveyor rail 108 to tightly close and protect the anti-drop protection cover 1081. When the electric feeding tray 1091 feeds the chess pieces into the conveyor rail 108, it is convenient to protect the chess pieces through the anti-drop protection cover 1081, so that the chess pieces are less likely to deviate or fall off when the conveying is fast, and the chess pieces are accurately fed. This makes feeding more efficient and improves the anti-drop protection effect of the automatic machine body 100 when the steel balls on the chess pieces are fed.

[0040] Finally, when the main body of the automatic machine 100 is damaged due to prolonged use and requires maintenance, the reinforcing bolt 1022 can be loosened and opened, and the door 103 can be opened to the outside and flush with the surface of the outer protective box 102. The supporting slide plate 1024 slides inside the supporting slide groove 1023 to slide the outer protective box 102 from the top of the base 101 and open it. After the outer protective box 102 is fully opened, the supporting tail plate 1021 contacts the ground and is supported at the tail end of the base 101. The reinforcing bolt 1022 is rotated and inserted into the internal threaded hole 1025 for fixation. At this time, it is easy to open the outer protective box 102, which is fully exposed to the outside on the upper surface of the base 101, providing a large space for maintenance. Maintenance is convenient and not easily hindered by space. After maintenance, the outer protective box 102 is closed and fixed again, improving the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the main body of the automatic machine 100 when the steel balls on the chess pieces are damaged.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
