Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vibratory feeder manufacturing technology, specifically a vibratory feeder with contoured grooves for material sorting. Background Technology

[0002] Vibratory feeders are mainly used for feeding materials. They move parts (such as nuts) from the feeder to the processing machine through vibration. However, for some block-shaped parts, there are requirements on which side they are processed on. Therefore, when the vibratory feeder outputs block-shaped parts, it is necessary to ensure the condition of the block-shaped parts so that they can be processed normally at the next station. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by designing a vibratory feeder with contoured grooves for material sorting. This vibratory feeder is designed with a spiral arrangement on the inner circumference of the feeder body, consisting of a horizontal discharge conveyor, a vertical cutting horizontal conveyor, a vertical discharge conveyor, a direction switching conveyor, and an output channel. This design solves the problem that current vibratory feeders cannot guarantee the consistent state of block parts during the feeding process.

[0013] The components include: 1. Disc body; 2. Inlet channel; 3. Screening channel; 4. Receiving channel; 5. Curved channel; 6. Flat side; 7. Inclined side; 8. Vertical discharge conveyor channel; 9. Support channel; 10. Arc-shaped guide protrusion; 11. Protruding wall; 12. Switching failure return channel; 13. Output channel. Detailed Implementation

[0014] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a vibratory feeder with contoured grooves for material sorting includes a feeder body 1. The inner circumference of the feeder body 1 is arranged in a spiral ascending pattern with a horizontal discharge conveyor, a vertical cutting horizontal conveyor, a vertical discharge conveyor, a direction switching conveyor, and an output channel 13. On the inner circumference of the feeder body 1, a switching failure feedback channel 12 is provided on the side of the output channel 13 facing away from the axis of the feeder body 1. The output end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 is connected to the inside of the feeder body 1. The input end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 is located between the input and output ends of the output channel 13. A switching failure filter is provided between the two ends of the output channel 13. The input end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 is connected to the beginning and middle (mid-section) of the output channel 13 through the switching failure filter.

[0015] In this embodiment, the main purpose is to output the blocky parts in state G to the production line. During the vibratory feeding process, as the blocky parts move upward along the horizontal discharge conveyor, the horizontal discharge conveyor screens out the blocky parts in state C, causing the blocky parts in state C to fall back into the disc body 1. Only the blocky parts in states A, B, and D can pass through the horizontal discharge conveyor. Then, as the blocky parts in states A, B, and D pass through the vertical cutting horizontal conveyor, the vertical cutting horizontal conveyor switches the blocky parts in state A to state D and the blocky parts in state B to state C. Thus, the blocky parts in state A can pass through the vertical cutting horizontal conveyor after becoming state D, while the blocky parts that have been switched to state C fall back into the disc body 1. Afterward, the blocky parts in state D become state G (which is the part state that needs to be output through output channel 13) under the switching of the direction switching conveyor and are output from output channel 13. During the process of switching the state of block parts on the direction-switching conveyor, the block parts may change from state D to state E and then to state F. Due to the presence of a switching failure filter and a switching failure return conveyor 12, the filter selects the block parts in states E and F and directs them to the switching failure return conveyor 12. The return conveyor 12 then returns the block parts in states E and F to the disc body 1 for readjustment and loading. This setup ensures that the block parts are output in state G, facilitating processing at the next workstation.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal discharge conveyor includes an inlet channel 2 and a screening channel 3. The lower end of the inlet channel 2 is connected to the inner bottom surface of the disc body 1, and the upper end of the inlet channel 2 is connected to the screening channel 3. The side of the inlet channel 2 facing the central axis of the disc body 1 is higher than the side facing away from the central axis of the disc body 1. The width of the screening channel 3 is smaller than the width of the inlet channel 2, and the side of the screening channel 3 facing away from the central axis of the disc body 1 is in close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the disc body 1. With this configuration, after the inlet channel 2 conveys blocky parts of states A, B, C, and D onto the screening channel 3, because the screening channel 3 is relatively narrow, only blocky parts of states D, A, and B are allowed to pass through. Blocky parts of state C fall from the screening channel 3 into the disc body 1 due to their own gravity and are then vibrated and fed again.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical cutting transverse conveyor includes a receiving channel 4 and a curved channel 5. The lower end of the receiving channel 4 is connected to the upper end of the screening channel, and the upper end of the receiving channel 4 is connected to the lower end of the vertical discharge conveyor 8. The side of the lower end of the receiving channel facing the axis of the disc body 1 is higher than the side facing away from the axis of the disc body 1. The upper end of the receiving channel 4 has a flat side 6 and an inclined side 7. The receiving channel 4 gradually changes from bottom to top to the flat side 6, such that the height of the side of the upper end of the receiving channel 4 facing the axis of the disc body 1 is equal to the height of the side facing away from the axis of the disc body 1. The height of one side of the axis of the disk body 1, the width of the flat side 6 is less than the width of the receiving channel 4, the inclined side 7 is provided on the side of the flat side 6 facing the axis of the disk body 1, the inclined side 7 is inclined downward towards the axis of the disk body 1, the curved groove 5 is located on the side of the receiving channel 4 facing the inner wall of the disk body 1, the curved groove 5 is flat at the lower end facing the receiving channel 4, and the bottom of the curved groove 5 is gradually twisted along the upper end of the receiving channel 4 to a curved surface coaxial with the inner circumferential surface of the disk body 1.

[0018] With this setting, the curved groove 5 can transform the blocky parts in state A from the horizontally placed discharge conveyor to state D, and at the same time switch the blocky parts in state B to state C. However, due to the setting of the inclined side 7, the blocky parts that have been switched to state C fall into the disc body 1 from the inclined side 7.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the vertical discharge conveyor 8 is flat, and its width is smaller than the width of the lower end of the receiving channel 4. The vertical discharge conveyor 8 serves a protective function, ensuring that any remaining blocky parts in state C fall from the vertical discharge conveyor 8 into the disc body 1.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the direction-switching conveyor includes a support channel 9 and an arc-shaped guide protrusion 10. The lower end of the support channel 9 is connected to the upper end of the vertical discharge conveyor 8, and the upper end of the support channel 9 is connected to the input end of the output channel. The distance between the support channel 9 and the axis of the disk body 1 is greater than the distance between the vertical discharge conveyor and the axis of the disk body 1. The lower end of the support channel and the upper end of the vertical discharge conveyor 8 are flush and connected at an angle. The arc-shaped guide protrusion 10 is located on the circumferential surface of the disk body 1. Thus, by setting the arc-shaped guide protrusion 10, a blocky part in state D can be switched to a blocky part in state G.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the input end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 is lower than the lower end of the output channel, and the output end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 gradually narrows and tilts downward toward the axis of the disk body 1. A switching failure filter is provided between the beginning of the output channel and the switching failure feedback channel 12. During vibration, some blocky parts will exhibit states E and F. The switching failure filter filters out blocky parts in states E and F and sends them into the switching failure feedback channel 12. Since the output end of the switching failure feedback channel 12 gradually narrows and tilts downward toward the axis of the disk body 1, the blocky parts that enter the switching failure feedback channel 12 fall into the disk body 1.

[0022] As a preferred method, such as Figure 3 As shown, between the beginning and middle of the output channel 13, the side of the output channel 13 facing the axis of the disk body 1 is higher than the side of the output channel 13 facing away from the axis of the disk body 1. The switching failure filter is a raised wall 11, which is located between the output channel 13 and the switching failure feedback channel 12. The height of the switching failure feedback channel 12 is lower than the height of the side of the output channel 13 facing away from the axis of the disk body 1. With this configuration, since the side of the output channel 13 facing the axis of the disk body 1 is higher than the side of the output channel 13 facing away from the axis of the disk body 1, blocky parts exhibiting states E and F will be drawn into the switching failure feedback channel 12 under the influence of gravity and then fall into the disk body 1. Finally, blocky parts exhibiting state G can be output from the output channel 13.
