Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel ball feeding trough technology, specifically a steel ball feeding trough with a movable baffle. Background Technology

[0002] Steel balls are classified into ground steel balls, forged steel balls, and cast steel balls according to their manufacturing process. They are also classified into bearing steel balls, stainless steel balls, carbon steel balls, copper bearing steel balls, alloy balls, etc. Alloy steel balls are spherical iron alloy wear-resistant bodies produced by forging, spinning, rolling, and casting, with carbon, chromium, manganese, and molybdenum as the main added metallic elements. These large steel balls are typically guided into the heat treatment furnace or cooling pool through a feeding chute during heat treatment. However, currently, when steel balls are fed through the feeding chute, two balls may enter the heat treatment device or cooling pool together, easily causing collisions and affecting the quality of the steel balls. While some feeding chutes use baffles for obstruction, these existing feeding chutes are generally of a split structure, with the baffle located between two feeding chutes. This structure has poor stability and a short service life. Therefore, an improved technology is urgently needed to solve this problem in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steel ball feeding chute with a movable baffle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steel ball feeding trough with a movable baffle, comprising a U-shaped feeding trough, reinforcing ribs, a servo motor, and a baffle. The U-shaped feeding trough is obliquely arranged and has several supporting legs at its bottom. Through slots are provided at the bottom and both sides of the middle position of the U-shaped feeding trough. Connecting sections are provided on both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough and above the through slots. Reinforcing ribs are provided on the outer surfaces of both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough. The reinforcing ribs are bent at the middle position and connected to the connecting sections. A servo motor is provided on the lower surface of the U-shaped feeding trough. A baffle is provided on the output shaft of the servo motor. The baffle is movably disposed within the through slot.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a steel ball feeding trough with a movable baffle, including a U-shaped feeding trough 1, reinforcing ribs 2, a servo motor 3, and a baffle 4. The U-shaped feeding trough 1 is inclined and has several supporting legs 5 at the bottom. An anti-fall end plate 14 is provided at the higher end of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 to prevent steel balls from falling from the higher end of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. A connecting rod 8 is connected between two adjacent supporting legs 5 to ensure the structural strength and stability of the entire support structure. A fixing plate 9 is provided at the bottom of each supporting leg 5 to secure the fixing plate 9 to the ground with expansion bolts, ensuring the stability of the entire feeding trough and preventing it from tipping over. Through slots 6 are provided at the bottom and both sides of the middle position of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. Connecting sections 7 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 above the through slots 6. A reinforcing rib 2 is provided on the side surface. The reinforcing rib 2 is bent in the middle and connected to the connecting section 7. A servo motor 3 is provided on the lower surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. A motor mounting plate 12 is welded to the lower surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. A connecting plate 13 is provided on one side of the servo motor 3. The servo motor 3 is fastened to the motor mounting plate 12 through the connecting plate 13 and bolts. The installation of the servo motor 3 is achieved through the cooperation of the connecting plate 13 and the motor mounting plate 12. A baffle 4 is provided on the output shaft of the servo motor 3. A flange 10 is provided on the output shaft of the servo motor 3. A pressure plate 11 is provided on the outside of the baffle 4. The pressure plate 11 and the baffle 4 are fastened to the flange 10 through several bolts to achieve the connection and disassembly of the baffle 4 and the servo motor 3. The baffle 4 is movably set in the through groove 6. The thickness of the baffle 4 is less than the width of the through groove 6 to ensure that the baffle 4 can move smoothly in the through groove 6.

[0016] Installation Method and Operating Principle: First, a U-shaped feeding trough 1 is prepared. This U-shaped feeding trough 1 can be customized according to the size of the steel ball using a bending machine. Next, through slots 6 are opened at the bottom and both sides of the middle position of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. Connecting sections 7 are reserved on both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 above the through slots 6, which means the U-shaped feeding trough 1 is not completely cut off. Then, two bent reinforcing ribs 2 are customized through a bending process and welded to both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 respectively. At the same time, the middle position of the reinforcing ribs 2 passes through the connecting section 7 and is welded to the connecting section 7. The support legs 5 are welded to the lower surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 1, and connecting rods 8 are welded between the two support legs 5. Finally, the baffle 4 and pressure plate 11 are fastened to the flange 10 at the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 3 with bolts. Then, the servo motor 3 is fastened to the motor mounting plate 12 on the lower surface of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 through the connecting plate 13 and bolts, completing the installation. In use, the steel ball falls into the high position of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 and then slides down along the U-shaped feeding trough. The baffle 4 is driven by the servo motor 3 to rotate in both directions. When the baffle 4 is inside the U-shaped feeding trough 1, the steel ball is blocked by the baffle 4. When the baffle 4 leaves the U-shaped feeding trough 1 from one side of the through groove 6, the steel ball passes smoothly, thus realizing intermittent feeding. This utility model has a reasonable structure. The servo motor 3 drives the baffle 4 to move in the through groove 6 of the U-shaped feeding trough 1. The baffle 4 prevents two steel balls from entering the heat treatment device or cooling pool at the same time, thereby avoiding collisions during the process. In addition, the U-shaped feeding trough 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 2 on both sides. The reinforcing ribs 2 are bent in the middle and connected to the connecting section 7, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 and preventing deformation of the U-shaped feeding trough 1 due to the opening of the through groove 6, thus improving the service life. Furthermore, the connecting section 7 is reserved above the through groove 6 on both sides of the U-shaped feeding trough 1, which greatly improves the stability compared to the traditional separate structure, and the processing method is simple.
