Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, specifically a shaft feeding conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial automated production lines such as machinery manufacturing, automotive parts processing, and bearing assembly, shaft materials (such as drive shafts, pins, rollers, and mandrels) are common workpieces. Efficient, stable, and continuous feeding and transfer are key to ensuring the overall line cycle time and product quality.

[0003] Traditional methods of feeding shaft-type materials often rely on manual handling or use relatively simple hoppers combined with pneumatic pushers. While these methods are feasible to some extent in practical applications, they often exhibit limitations when facing the demands of high-cycle, high-precision modern automated production. On the one hand, manual feeding is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also struggles to meet the cycle time requirements of continuous, high-volume production. On the other hand, while semi-automatic devices such as pneumatic pushers can reduce reliance on manual labor, the use of a single pusher structure can easily lead to low positioning accuracy and scratches or bumps on the workpiece surface. Moreover, the limited range of stroke and thrust adjustment makes them unsuitable for handling different types of materials.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shaft-mounted feeding and conveying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shaft feeding and conveying device to solve the problem of transporting shaft parts.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A shaft feeding and conveying device, comprising: The feeding platform is used to temporarily store shaft-shaped materials to be conveyed, and the top surface of the feeding platform is set as an inclined surface with the inclined direction facing its discharge end, so as to guide the shaft-shaped materials to slide naturally in the direction of the ramp. A ramp is vertically mounted at the discharge end of the feeding platform. One end of the ramp is an uphill end and the other end is a downhill end. The ramp can be connected to the discharge end of the feeding platform by its lifting movement. A feeding belt is located below the lower end of the ramp, and the ramp is raised and lowered so that its lower end is connected to the feeding end of the feeding belt. A collection bin is used to collect shaft-type materials conveyed by the feeding belt; The chute extends along the direction from the discharge end of the feeding belt to the inlet end of the collection bin; A drive assembly is slidably disposed on the slide rail, and the drive assembly moves along the slide rail to move shaft-like materials from the feed belt to the collection bin.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft-mounted feeding and conveying device, the drive assembly includes a clamping plate, a rotation source, a lifting source, and a moving source; The clamping plates are provided in at least two and arranged opposite each other. The two clamping plates can move towards each other or away from each other to stably clamp the shaft-like material from both sides. The output end of the rotation source is connected to the clamping plate, which is used to drive the clamping plate to rotate the shaft material around its own axis; The output end of the lifting source is connected to the rotating source to drive the rotating source and the clamping plate to move up and down in the vertical direction; The output end of the mobile source is connected to the lifting source to drive the lifting source, the rotating source, and the clamping plate holding the shaft material to move from the feeding belt to the collection bin.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft feeding and conveying device, both of the facing surfaces of the two clamping plates are provided with grooves, and the grooves are adapted to the outer wall radius of the shaft material to be conveyed.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft-mounted feeding and conveying device, the output end of the lifting source is fixedly provided with a rotating gear, and the output end of the rotating source is fixedly provided with a spur rack. The spur rack meshes with the rotating gear, and the rotating source is mounted on the spur rack so that the rotating source can perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft feeding and conveying device, it also includes a guide assembly, which is disposed between the lifting source and the rotating source and is used to guide the lifting direction of the rotating source on the lifting source.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft feeding and conveying device, the guide assembly includes a slide rail and a slider. The slider is fixedly mounted on the output end side wall of the lifting source. The slide rail is arranged along the lifting direction of the lifting source, and the slider slides in cooperation with the slide rail. The rotating source is mounted on the slide rail, and the lifting source drives the slide rail to move the rotating source up and down along the slider.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft-mounted feeding conveyor, it also includes a transfer station located between the feeding belt and the chute for temporary storage of materials.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft-mounted feeding conveyor, the transfer station includes a baffle, a pusher, and a slide. The baffle is erected at the edge of the discharge end of the feeding belt, and the slide is installed on the drive assembly. When the drive assembly drives the slide closer to the feeding belt, the uphill end of the slide connects with the discharge end of the feeding belt. The pusher is located at the end of the feeding belt away from the feeding belt, and the pusher moves from the discharge end of the feeding belt toward the slide.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of a shaft-mounted feeding and conveying device, it also includes a power component, which is disposed between the slide and the drive component, for driving the drive component to move stably along the length direction of the slide.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting an inclined surface on the top of the feeding platform, the material can slide naturally towards the ramp without additional power, relying solely on its own weight, thus avoiding the need for additional structures and saving energy consumption. The adjustable ramp allows for height adjustment based on actual conditions, ensuring precise connection with the feeding platform's discharge end and the conveyor belt's feed end, guaranteeing smooth material transport. The drive assembly, slidably mounted on the ramp, accurately transports material from the conveyor belt's discharge end to the collection bin, further improving conveying efficiency and automation.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, a shaft feeding and conveying device is provided, including: a feeding platform 1, a ramp 2, a feeding belt 3, a collection bin 4, a slide rail 5, and a drive assembly 6. The feeding platform 1 is used to temporarily store shaft materials to be conveyed, and its top surface is inclined towards its discharge end to guide the shaft materials to slide naturally towards the ramp 2. The ramp 2 is vertically detachable at the discharge end of the feeding platform 1, with one end being an uphill end and the other a downhill end. The uphill end of the ramp 2 can be connected to the discharge end of the feeding platform 1 through lifting and lowering movements. The feeding belt 3 is located below the downhill end of the ramp 2, and the downhill end of the ramp 2 is connected to the feeding end of the feeding belt 3 through lifting and lowering movements. The collection bin 4 is used to collect the shaft materials conveyed by the feeding belt 3. The slide rail 5 extends along the direction from the discharge end of the feeding belt 3 to the feeding end of the collection bin 4. The drive assembly 6 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 5. The drive assembly 6 moves along the slide rail 5 to move shaft-type materials from the feed belt 3 to the collection bin 4.

[0025] This novel shaft-mounted feeding conveyor utilizes an inclined surface on the top of the feeding platform 1. Without additional power, the material slides naturally towards the ramp 2 solely by its own weight, eliminating the need for additional structures and saving energy. The adjustable ramp 2 allows for height adjustment based on actual conditions, ensuring precise connection with the discharge end of the feeding platform 1 and the feed end of the conveyor belt 3, guaranteeing smooth material transport. The drive assembly 6, slidably mounted on the slide rail 5, accurately transports material from the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3 to the collection bin 4, further improving conveying efficiency and automation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the ramp 2 can be raised and lowered freely by installing a cylinder. In addition, multiple sets of free ramps 2 with independent lifting control can be installed to avoid the material sliding down too fast due to the slope being too steep, thereby effectively controlling the material conveying rhythm.

[0027] Preferably, the drive assembly 6 includes a clamping plate 601, a rotation source 602 (such as a motor), a lifting source 603 (such as a motor), and a moving source 604 (such as a slide).

[0028] The clamping plates 601 are provided in at least two and arranged opposite each other. The two clamping plates 601 can move towards or away from each other to stably clamp the shaft material from both sides, ensuring that the shaft material will not easily shake or fall off during subsequent rotation, lifting and moving, which greatly improves the stability and reliability of the conveying process.

[0029] In this embodiment, the two clamping plates 601 can be driven by two cylinders respectively. The extension and retraction of the cylinders can directly drive the clamping plates 601 to move towards or away from each other, thereby achieving fast and stable clamping and release operations.

[0030] The output end of the rotation source 602 is connected to the clamping plate 601, which is used to drive the clamping plate 601 to rotate the shaft material around its own axis. This allows the shaft material to be adjusted at an angle according to actual needs during the conveying process. For example, the collection bin 4 is at a different angle relative to the feeding belt 3 or the slide 703. The clamping plate 601 can be rotated directly to make the shaft material rotate at an angle so that it can fall into the collection bin 4 accurately.

[0031] The output end of the lifting source 603 is connected to the rotating source 602 to drive the rotating source 602 and the clamping plate 601 to move up and down in the vertical direction. It flexibly adapts to different heights of the feeding belt 3 and the collection bin 4, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the equipment. Whether it is a production line of different specifications or a difference in the height of the feeding belt 3 and the collection bin 4 due to site conditions or other reasons, it can be adjusted by the lifting source 603 to ensure smooth material conveying.

[0032] The output end of the mobile source 604 is connected to the lifting source 603 to drive the lifting source 603, the rotating source 602, and the clamping plate 601 holding the shaft-like material from the feeding belt 3 to the collection bin 4. This achieves precise horizontal material conveying, further improving conveying efficiency and automation, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor intensity and human error.

[0033] Furthermore, both clamping plates 601 have grooves 605 on their opposing surfaces, which are adapted to the outer radius of the shaft-like material to be conveyed. When clamping the shaft-like material, a stable and tight contact is formed between the material and the clamping plates 601, effectively preventing the material from sliding or shifting during conveying, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the equipment during operation.

[0034] In the above embodiment, a fixing plate 10 can be installed. The fixing plate 10 is used to stabilize components such as the cylinder, the rotating source 602, the lifting source 603, and the moving source 604, so as to ensure that the entire drive and conveying system maintains a stable structural state during operation.

[0035] Preferably, a rotary gear 606 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the lifting source 603, and a spur rack 607 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the rotating source 602. The spur rack 607 meshes with the rotary gear 606, and the rotating source 602 is mounted on the spur rack 607 to enable the rotating source 602 to perform lifting and lowering movements. Through the meshing transmission between the spur rack 607 and the rotary gear 606, the rotating source 602 moves synchronously with the lifting source 603. This design not only ensures the stability of the rotating source 602 during the lifting process but also improves the transmission efficiency and accuracy of the entire conveying system.

[0036] The shaft feeding and conveying device also includes a guide assembly 8, which is located between the lifting source 603 and the rotating source 602 and is used to guide the lifting direction of the rotating source 602 on the lifting source 603.

[0037] Furthermore, the guide assembly 8 includes a slide rail 801 and a slider 802. The slider 802 is fixedly mounted on the output end side wall of the lifting source 603. The slide rail 801 is arranged along the lifting direction of the lifting source 603, and the slider 802 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 801. The rotating source 602 is mounted on the slide rail 801. The lifting source 603 drives the slide rail 801 to drive the rotating source 602 to move up and down along the slider 802.

[0038] The sliding engagement between the slide rail 801 and the slider 802 further ensures the straightness of the rotating source 602 during the lifting process, effectively avoiding transmission errors caused by offset or swaying. This enhances the overall structural rigidity of the conveying device and significantly improves its stability and durability during high-speed operation, providing a reliable guarantee for the precise conveying of shaft materials.

[0039] The shaft uses a feeding conveyor device and also includes a transfer station 7, which is located between the feeding belt 3 and the slide 5 and is used to temporarily store materials.

[0040] Preferably, the transfer station 7 includes a baffle 701, a pusher 702, and a slide 703. The baffle 701 is erected at the edge of the discharge end of the feeding belt 3. The slide 703 is installed on the drive assembly 6. When the drive assembly 6 drives the slide 703 to approach the feeding belt 3, the uphill end of the slide 703 connects with the discharge end of the feeding belt 3. The pusher 702 is located at the end of the feeding belt 3 away from the feeding belt 3. The pusher 702 moves from the discharge end of the feeding belt 3 toward the slide 703.

[0041] When the material is conveyed from the feeding belt 3 to the discharge end, the baffle 701 can effectively block the material and prevent it from slipping. At the same time, the push plate 702 moves from the discharge end of the feeding belt 3 toward the slide 703 under the action of the cylinder or other driving device, pushing the material onto the slide 703.

[0042] The shaft uses a feeding and conveying device, which also includes a power component 9, located between the slide rail 5 and the drive component 6, for driving the drive component 6 to move stably along the length of the slide rail 5.

[0043] Preferably, the power assembly 9 includes a power rotating component 901 and a fixed rack 902. The power rotating component 901 is rotatably disposed on the drive assembly 6, and the fixed rack 902 is fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the slide 5 along the length direction of the slide 5. The power rotating component 901 (such as a gear) meshes with the fixed rack 902.

[0044] In this embodiment, the collection bin 4 can be provided in multiple ways and arranged along the length of the slide 5. When the power rotating component 901 rotates under the drive of the motor, it will generate a driving force along the length of the slide 5 because it meshes with the fixed rack 902. This will drive the drive component 6 and the slide 703 to move stably along the length of the slide 5. Then, the drive component 6 will transport the material on the slide 703 to the collection bin 4.

[0045] The material transportation process in this embodiment is as follows: Shaft-shaped materials are temporarily stored in the feeding platform 1. With the help of the inclined surface of the top surface of the feeding platform 1, they slide naturally towards their discharge end under their own gravity until they contact the upper end of the ramp 2. The liftable ramp 2 is adjusted so that the upper end is precisely connected to the discharge end of the feeding platform 1. Then the lower end of the ramp 2 is adjusted to connect with the feeding end of the feeding belt 3. The material rolls down the ramp 2 onto the surface of the feeding belt 3. The feeding belt 3 conveys the material to its discharge end until the material is blocked by the baffle 701 of the transfer station 7 and temporarily stored at the end of the feeding belt 3. The drive assembly 6 drives the slide 703 to move to the discharge end of the feeding belt 3, so that the uphill end of the slide 703 connects with the discharge end of the feeding belt 3; the push plate 702 moves from the discharge end of the feeding belt 3 toward the slide 703, pushing the material onto the slide 703. The mobile source 604 drives the entire drive assembly 6 (including clamping plate 601, rotating source 602, lifting source 603 and slide 703) to move from the initial position to the downhill end of slide 703, and causes clamping plate 601 to clamp the material into collection bin 4.

[0046] At least two opposing clamping plates 601 move toward each other under the drive of a cylinder, and stably clamp the material through grooves 605 that fit the outer wall of the material. If the material angle needs to be adjusted, the rotating source 602 drives the clamping plates 601 to rotate the material around its own axis until it meets the conveying posture. The slide rail 801 of the guide assembly 8 cooperates with the slider 802. The lifting source 603 drives the rotating source 602 and the clamping plates 601 to rise and fall along the slider 802 through the meshing of the rotating gear 606 and the spur rack 607, adapting to the height of the slide rail 5 and the collection bin 4.

[0047] When the drive assembly 6 moves to the corresponding position of the target collection bin 4, the clamping plate 601 moves in opposite directions to release the material, and the material falls into the collection bin 4 to complete the conveying. If it is necessary to convey to other collection bins 4, the power assembly 9 continues to drive the drive assembly 6 to move along the slide 5. When it is necessary to transport the material to the next collection bin 4, the power rotating component 901 (gear) of the power assembly 9 rotates under the drive of the motor and meshes with the fixed rack 902 fixed on the outer wall of the slide 5, driving the drive assembly 6, the lifting source 603, the rotating source 602 and the clamped material to slide along the length of the slide 5 to the next collection bin 4, that is, repeating the above clamping and releasing actions.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
