Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bar feeding, and in particular to a feeding device and a bar feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A bar feeder is a feeding machine used in conjunction with equipment capable of continuously processing bar materials to achieve automatic feeding of bars, thereby improving the processing efficiency and automation level of the equipment. The bars are fed through a feeding device.

[0003] In related technologies, the feeding device includes a feeding bin, a baffle, and a driving component. The baffle is vertically slidably connected to the feeding bin, and the driving component is fixedly connected to the feeding bin and used to drive the baffle to slide. During feeding, multiple bars are stacked in the feeding bin. Under the action of gravity, the bars roll towards the baffle. The driving component drives the baffle to move back and forth, so that a bar passes under the baffle, thereby realizing the feeding of a single bar.

[0004] However, in practical applications, sometimes two bars pass under the baffle, resulting in poor stability of bar feeding, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the stability of bar feeding, firstly, this application provides a feeding device.

[0006] The feeding device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A feeding device includes a feeding bin, a baffle, a feeding plate, a first driving member, and a limiting assembly; the baffle is disposed at the lower end of the feeding bin, and a guide groove is formed between the baffle and the feeding bin; the feeding plate is disposed in the guide groove and moves vertically under the drive of the first driving member; the limiting assembly includes a limiting frame and a second driving member, the limiting frame being rotatably connected to the feeding bin, and the second driving member being used to drive the limiting frame to rotate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, in practical applications, the feeding plate is flush with the lower end of the feeding bin. The feeding bin is divided into two areas by the limiting frame. Multiple bars are placed in the feeding bin, so that the bars in the area near the baffle are arranged one by one along the width of the feeding bin, while the bars in the area away from the baffle are stacked. The first driving component drives the feeding plate to move upward, so that the bars fall from the top of the baffle to realize the feeding of bars. At the same time, the second driving component drives the limiting frame to rotate to release the restriction on the bars below, so that another bar can pass through the limiting frame to ensure the continuity of bar feeding. In this way, only one bar is fed at a time, thereby improving the stability of bar feeding.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component further includes an abutment buckle, which is disposed in the feeding bin, and the cylinder of the second driving member is disposed on the side of the limiting frame near the baffle, with the power output shaft abutting against the abutment buckle.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and setting an abutment buckle, the second driving component works. Since the power output shaft of the second driving component abuts against the abutment buckle, it drives the limiting frame to rotate, so that a single bar can stably pass under the limiting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a limiting plate, which is disposed on the side of the limiting frame away from the baffle, and the limiting plate is slidably connected to the limiting frame along the width direction of the limiting frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting plate is set to limit the bar instead of the limiting frame. Since the limiting plate slides along the width direction of the limiting frame and is connected to the limiting frame, the position of the limiting plate can be adjusted to ensure the stable passage of the bar and to be applicable to bars of different diameters.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a plurality of first mounting bolts, the limiting plate is provided with a plurality of first mounting slots spaced apart along the length direction of the limiting frame, and the first mounting slots are provided along the width direction of the limiting frame, and each of the first mounting bolts passes through each of the first mounting slots and is threaded to the limiting frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting multiple first mounting bolts and multiple first mounting slots, a sliding connection between the limiting plate and the limiting frame can be achieved. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting component further includes an adjusting plate, which is slidably connected to the feeding hopper along the length direction of the feeding hopper.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the bar stock can be limited by setting an adjustment plate. Since the adjustment plate is slidably connected to the feeding bin along the length of the feeding bin, the position of the adjustment plate can be adjusted to suit bars of different lengths.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a plurality of second mounting bolts, the adjusting plate is provided with a plurality of second mounting slots spaced apart along the width direction of the feeding bin, the second mounting slots are provided along the length direction of the feeding bin, and each second mounting bolt passes through each second mounting slot and is threadedly connected to the feeding bin.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting multiple second mounting bolts and multiple second mounting slots, a sliding connection between the adjusting plate and the feeding hopper can be achieved. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0018] Preferably, the feeding device further includes a connecting frame, which is disposed on the power output shaft of the first driving member, and the feeding plate is disposed on one side of the connecting frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a connecting frame, the stability of the connection between the first driving component and the feeding plate is ensured.

[0020] Secondly, this application provides a bar feeder.

[0021] The bar feeder provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A bar feeder includes the feeding device described above.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. In practical applications, the feeding plate is flush with the lower end of the feeding bin. The feeding bin is divided into two areas by the limiting frame. Multiple bars are placed in the feeding bin, so that the bars in the area near the baffle are arranged one by one along the width of the feeding bin, while the bars in the area away from the baffle are stacked. The first driving component drives the feeding plate to move upward, so that the bars fall from the top of the baffle to realize the feeding of bars. At the same time, the second driving component drives the limiting frame to rotate to release the restriction on the bars below, so that another bar can pass through the limiting frame to ensure the continuity of bar feeding. This ensures that only one bar is fed at a time, thereby improving the stability of bar feeding. 2. By setting the abutment buckle, the second driving component works. Since the power output shaft of the second driving component abuts against the abutment buckle, it drives the limit frame to rotate, so that a single bar can stably pass under the limit frame. 3. By setting a limiting plate, the limiting plate replaces the limiting frame to limit the bar. Since the limiting plate slides along the width direction of the limiting frame and is connected to the limiting frame, the position of the limiting plate can be adjusted to ensure the stable passage of the bar and to be applicable to bars of different diameters.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a feeding device.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding device includes a feeding bin 1, a baffle 2, a feeding plate 3, a first driving component 4, and a limiting component 5. The feeding bin 1 is fixedly connected to the frame 8 of the bar feeder. The bottom of the feeding bin 1 is inclined. The baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the feeding bin 1, and a guide groove 6 is formed between the baffle 2 and the feeding bin 1. The feeding plate 3 is confined in the guide groove 6, and the feeding plate 3 moves vertically under the drive of the first driving component 4. In this embodiment, the first driving component 4 is a cylinder and is fixedly connected to the frame 8. In other embodiments, the first driving component 4 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push cylinder, etc., which is not limited in this application. In the initial state, the upper end of the feeding plate 3 is flush with the lower end of the feeding bin 1.

[0028] The limiting component 5 includes a limiting frame 51 and a second driving component 52. The two ends of the limiting frame 51 are rotatably connected to the feeding bin 1 to divide the feeding bin 1 into a first placement area 11 and a second placement area 12. The first placement area 11 is located near the baffle 2. The second driving component 52 is also a cylinder. Of course, the second driving component 52 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push cylinder, etc. The second driving component 52 is used to drive the limiting frame 51 to rotate.

[0029] In practical applications, workers place multiple bars into the feeding hopper 1. Under the limiting action of the limiting frame 51, the multiple bars in the first placement area 11 are spaced apart along the width direction of the feeding hopper 1, while the multiple bars in the second placement area 12 are stacked. The first driving component 4 operates to drive the feeding plate 3 to move upward, causing the bars to fall from the top of the baffle 2, thus realizing the feeding of bars. At the same time, the second driving component 52 drives the limiting frame 51 to rotate, thereby releasing the limitation on the bars below the limiting frame 51, allowing one of the bars located in the second placement area 12 to enter the first placement area 11 through the limiting frame 51, ensuring the continuity of bar feeding. This ensures that only one bar is fed at a time, thereby improving the stability of bar feeding.

[0030] In some embodiments, the limiting component 5 further includes an abutment buckle 53, which is fixedly connected to the feeding bin 1. The cylinder of the second driving member 52 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting frame 51 near the baffle 2, and the power output shaft of the second driving member 52 abuts against the abutment buckle 53. During operation, the power output shaft of the second driving member 52 extends out. Since the power output shaft of the second driving member 52 abuts against the abutment buckle 53, it drives the limiting frame 51 to rotate, allowing a single bar to pass stably under the limiting frame 51.

[0031] In some embodiments, the limiting component 5 further includes a limiting plate 54, which is installed on the side of the limiting frame 51 away from the baffle 2, and is slidably connected to the limiting frame 51 in the width direction of the limiting frame 51. Thus, the limiting plate 54 replaces the limiting frame 51 in limiting the rod in the second placement area 12. Since the limiting plate 54 is slidably connected to the limiting frame 51 along its width direction, the position of the limiting plate 54 can be adjusted to ensure stable passage of the rod and is applicable to rods of different diameters.

[0032] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 5 further includes a plurality of first mounting bolts 55. The limiting plate 54 has a plurality of first mounting slots 541 spaced apart along the length of the limiting frame 51. The number of first mounting slots 541 is the same as the number of first mounting bolts 55, and the first mounting slots 541 are arranged along the width of the limiting frame 51. Each first mounting bolt 55 passes through each first mounting slot 541 and is threaded to the limiting frame 51, so that the limiting plate 54 is pressed between the limiting frame 51 and the first mounting bolts 55, thereby fixing the limiting plate 54. This allows for a sliding connection between the limiting plate 54 and the limiting frame 51, resulting in a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the limiting component 5 further includes an adjusting plate 56, which is installed in and slidably connected to the feeding hopper 1. The sliding direction is along the length direction of the feeding hopper 1, and both ends of the bar are limited between the feeding hopper 1 and the adjusting plate 56 to limit the bar. Since the adjusting plate 56 is slidably connected to the feeding hopper 1 along the length direction of the feeding hopper 1, the position of the adjusting plate 56 can be adjusted to accommodate bars of different lengths.

[0034] In some embodiments, the limiting component 5 further includes a plurality of second mounting bolts (not shown in the figure). The adjusting plate 56 is provided with a plurality of second mounting slots 561 spaced apart along the width direction of the feeding bin 1. The number of second mounting slots 561 is the same as the number of second mounting bolts. The second mounting slots 561 are arranged along the length direction of the feeding bin 1. Each second mounting bolt passes through each second mounting slot 561 and is threaded to the feeding bin 1 to realize the sliding connection between the adjusting plate 56 and the feeding bin 1. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a connecting frame 7, which is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the first driving member 4. The feeding plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 7. This avoids interference during the process of the first driving member 4 driving the feeding plate 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the first driving member 4 and the feeding plate 3. The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In practical application, the feeding plate 3 is flush with the lower end of the feeding bin 1. The feeding bin 1 is divided into two areas under the action of the limiting frame 51. Multiple bars are placed in the feeding bin 1, so that the multiple bars in the area of ​​the feeding bin 1 near the baffle 2 are arranged one by one along the width of the feeding bin 1, while the multiple bars in the area of ​​the feeding bin 1 away from the baffle 2 are stacked. The first driving member 4 drives the feeding plate 3 to move upward, so that the bars fall from the upper end of the baffle 2 to realize the feeding of bars. At the same time, the second driving member 52 drives the limiting frame 51 to rotate to release the restriction on the lower bar, so that another bar can pass through the limiting frame 51 to ensure the continuity of bar feeding. In this way, only one bar is fed at a time, thereby improving the stability of bar feeding.

[0036] This application also discloses a bar feeder.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The bar feeder includes a frame 8 and a feeding device as described in the above embodiments. The feeding bin 1 and the first driving component 4 are fixedly connected to the frame 8.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
