Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of one-way valve assembly technology, specifically to a spherical valve disc feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In a check valve structure, the valve disc's main function is to automatically open or close according to the flow direction of the medium, thus preventing backflow. It is a core moving component using a metal ball as the valve disc, widely used in check valves due to its simple structure, fast response speed, and good sealing performance. During check valve assembly, the ball-shaped valve disc, such as a steel ball, needs to be inserted into the valve body. Currently, this process is done manually or using a robotic arm. Manual assembly is inefficient and prone to contamination, affecting valve disc performance. The robotic arm assembly method involves a vibrating feeding tray for conveying and a robotic arm for gripping and transferring the disc to the steel ball assembly station, resulting in a complex assembly structure and high cost. Therefore, based on these issues, the existing technology needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a spherical valve disc feeding device includes a storage box 1, a support plate 2, a conveying trough 3, a dropping drive mechanism 4, and a feeding pipe 5. A spherical valve disc 10 is placed inside the storage box 1. The support plate 2 is disposed inside the storage box 1 on one side and is slidably connected to the storage box 1. The top of the support plate 2 is provided with a support trough 21 for accommodating the spherical valve disc 10. The first end of the conveying trough 3 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the storage box 1. The dropping drive mechanism 4 is disposed at the end of the conveying trough 3 and is used to convey the spherical valve disc 10 into the feeding pipe 5.

[0018] This utility model provides a spherical valve disc feeding device, which realizes automatic feeding in the assembly process of one-way valves using spherical valve discs. It boasts high work efficiency, ensures valve disc quality, and is less prone to contamination. It solves the problems of workload and inconsistent assembly quality associated with manual assembly, simplifies the overall structure of the feeding device, and makes operation more convenient. Preferably, the spherical valve disc in this application is made of steel balls.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the material discharge driving mechanism 4 includes a material discharge cylinder 41, a material blocking plate 42, and a limiting frame 43. The material blocking plate 42 abuts against the end of the material conveying trough 3 and is driven to slide by the material discharge cylinder 41. The limiting frame 43 is fastened to the top of the material blocking plate 42 and forms a space between them to accommodate the ball valve disc 10. The first end of the feeding pipe 5 is located at the bottom end of the material blocking plate 42.

[0020] By incorporating a feeding drive mechanism 4, steel balls can be sequentially and individually conveyed into the feeding pipe 5, reducing manual operation, minimizing contamination of the steel balls before feeding, and ensuring assembly quality. The inclusion of a limit frame 43 and a space for accommodating the steel balls ensures that they are fed sequentially and individually during the feeding process, preventing confusion during transport.

[0021] Based on the above technical solution, the bottom surfaces of the carrying trough 21 and the conveying trough 3 are both inclined along the length direction.

[0022] By tilting the bottom surfaces of both the carrying trough 21 and the conveying trough 3, the steel balls can be automatically conveyed under the action of gravity.

[0023] Based on the above technical solution, the bearing plate 2 is provided with a plurality of elongated through holes 22 along its length, and the width of the elongated through holes 22 is smaller than the diameter of the spherical valve disc 10.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes a material plate 6, one end of which is disposed on the outside of the storage box 1 and the other end is disposed on the inside of the storage box 1, and the material plate 6 is disposed at an angle.

[0025] By providing multiple elongated through holes 22 on the main structure of the bearing plate 2, which cooperate with the inclined material plate 6, the position of the steel ball can be limited, thereby facilitating the feeding of the steel ball into the bearing material groove 21 at the top of the bearing plate 2.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, a drive mechanism 7 is provided on the outer wall of the storage box 1. The output end of the drive mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8, and the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bearing plate 2.

[0027] It is understood that the bottom of the storage box 1 has an opening that is compatible with the support plate 2.

[0028] Preferably, the drive mechanism 7 is configured as an electric push rod or a cylinder. By providing the drive mechanism 7, the connecting plate 8 and the bearing plate 2 connected to it can be driven to achieve reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, conveying the steel balls in the storage box 1 to the same height as the conveying trough 3, thereby conveying the steel balls.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, guide grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the bearing plate 2, and guide blocks adapted to the guide grooves 23 are provided on the side wall of the storage box 1.

[0030] Preferably, by providing guide grooves 23 and guide blocks, the bearing plate 2 plays a guiding role during its movement, making the movement process more stable and avoiding the situation where steel balls fall off due to shaking during operation, which would affect the feeding efficiency.

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, an air blowing port 51 is provided through the side wall of the feeding pipe 5.

[0032] By providing an air inlet 51 on the feeding pipe 5, the air inlet 51 being located near the beginning of the feeding pipe 5 can assist in the conveying of steel balls within the feeding pipe 5.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, a vision camera 9 is also provided above the material conveying trough 3.

[0034] By installing a vision camera above the feed trough, surface defects of the steel balls during the conveying process can be detected, further ensuring the assembly quality of the one-way valve.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, a cover 11 is provided on one side of the top of the storage box 1, and the cover 11 is hinged to the storage box 1.

[0036] During operation, the storage bin 1 is filled with steel balls. Under the action of the inclined material plate 6, the steel balls slide in the inclined direction to one side of the support plate 2. Preferably, since the main body of the support plate 2 is provided with multiple elongated through holes 22, the steel balls can be limited by the elongated through holes 22. The support plate 2 slides downward under the drive mechanism 7, and the steel balls roll into the support material groove 21 at the top of the support plate 2. They are conveyed in the direction of the conveying trough 3 in the inclined support material groove 21, and conveyed through the conveying trough 3 until they are conveyed to the position of the dropping drive mechanism 4. At this time, the blocking plate 42 is located at the end of the conveying trough 3, which blocks the inlet of the feeding pipe. The steel balls are located between the limiting frame 43 and the blocking plate 42. When feeding, the dropping cylinder 41 is activated, which drives the blocking plate 42 to slide and open the inlet of the feeding pipe 5. The steel balls fall into the feeding pipe 5 and are conveyed to the assembly seat 201 on the workbench 20, completing the process of feeding the steel balls and assembling them into the valve seat.

[0037] The term "first end" and "last end" mentioned above are defined according to the direction of steel ball conveying, and are only for the convenience of understanding and describing this technical solution, and do not constitute a limitation of this application.
