Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding device technology, and in particular to a directional feeding mechanism for cylindrical parts. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines / equipment, for the convenience of processing or assembly, it is usually necessary to separate stacked workpieces one by one and transport them in an orderly and automated manner.

[0003] Cylindrical products are very common in actual production, such as pen tubes and other shell-like parts. Current technology typically uses a vibratory feeder combined with a linear vibratory track for automated feeding. However, due to the relatively large length-to-diameter ratio and smooth outer surface of cylindrical products, conventional vibratory feeder feeding methods are difficult to implement. Furthermore, cylindrical products need to be axially vertical after feeding, and the two ends of the product must be accurately distinguishable by the depth of their concave sections to facilitate subsequent processes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device for automatic feeding of cylindrical products to effectively match automated assembly lines. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a structurally sound directional feeding mechanism for cylindrical components, thereby enabling the cylindrical products to be output in a vertical axial position, achieving automated feeding, and ensuring production efficiency and effectiveness.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism includes a support platform, a material receiving seat on the top surface of the support platform, and cylindrical products arranged axially along the X-direction stacked in the receiving cavity of the material receiving seat; a material transfer mechanism is arranged laterally outside the material receiving seat, in which a material transfer plate extends into the material receiving seat and fits against the bottom surface of the receiving cavity; a material receiving hole is opened on the material transfer plate, and a material dropping hole is opened on the support platform; as the material transfer plate moves in the Y-direction, the material receiving hole reciprocates between the receiving cavity and the material dropping hole, with the material receiving hole facing one of the receiving cavity and the material dropping hole; a reversing component is arranged on the bottom surface of the support platform, facing the material dropping hole, and a reversing cavity with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part arranged through the reversing component is provided inside the reversing component.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: It also includes a hopper, with the bottom discharge port of the hopper facing directly above the receiving cavity of the material storage seat. The hopper contains stacked cylindrical products arranged axially along the X direction, and the bottom surface of the hopper forms a sloping structure that slopes downward toward the discharge port.

[0008] It also includes a feeding mechanism, in which the feeding frame is located between the material inlet and the material receiving seat. The feeding frame reciprocates in the Y direction. The distance between the inner walls of the feeding frame facing each other in the Y direction is less than the distance between the outer walls of the material receiving seat facing away from each other in the Y direction. During the reciprocating movement of the feeding frame, the inner walls of the feeding frame facing each other in the Y direction are always located inside the outer walls of the material receiving seat facing away from each other in the Y direction.

[0009] The structure of the feeding mechanism is as follows: it includes a back plate fixedly disposed relative to the support platform, and guide rods arranged vertically and horizontally are supported on the side of the back plate by rod seats. The guide rods are axially arranged along the Y direction. The upper and lower guide rods are slidably fitted with a moving block, which is installed on the feeding frame. The moving block is driven by a driving force to move along the axial direction of the guide rod, thereby driving the feeding frame to move synchronously.

[0010] The feeding mechanism also includes a feeding element, which moves synchronously with the feeding frame, with the end of the feeding element facing the bottom of the hopper. As the feeding element moves in the Y direction, the end of the feeding element intermittently extends into the hopper to feed the internal cylindrical products.

[0011] The structure of the hopper is as follows: it includes side plates arranged at intervals in the X direction, the interval between the side plates being adapted to the length of the cylindrical product, and side support plates and bottom support plates extending towards each other at the side edges and bottom edges of the facing side plates, respectively; the bottom support plates of the two side plates are arranged at an inclination in the same direction and together form a material discharge port at the lowest point; one side plate includes an upper hopper door and a lower fixed plate, and the hopper door and the fixed plate are hinged to form an openable and closable structure.

[0012] It also includes an end detection mechanism, which includes a detection rod arranged axially along the X-direction. One end of the detection rod extends through into the receiving cavity of the material holder and is directly opposite the end of the cylindrical product. The other end of the detection rod is fitted through and mounted on a detection seat. An elastic element is installed between the detection seat and the detection rod. The detection seat is mounted on the linear drive power output end. The detection seat is driven by the linear drive power to move a preset distance in the X-direction. The detection rod moves axially toward the cylindrical product simultaneously, so that the end is inserted into the cylindrical product. Alternatively, the axial movement of the detection rod toward the cylindrical product is blocked, and it moves in the opposite direction to compress the elastic element.

[0013] The size of the upper opening of the commutation cavity of the commutation assembly is adapted to the cylindrical product in a horizontally arranged state. The inner wall surfaces of the commutation cavities corresponding to both ends of the cylindrical product shrink inward from top to bottom until the size of the lower opening of the commutation cavity is adapted to the cylindrical product in a vertically arranged state. It also includes a commutation drive power installed relative to the commutation cavity. The commutation drive power drives the stop member of the output part to move in the X direction. The stop member extends into the commutation cavity to form a stop at the corresponding end of the cylindrical product.

[0014] The material holder is equipped with partitions that divide the inner cavity of the material holder into one or more accommodating cavities arranged in parallel along the Y direction. Each accommodating cavity is a stack of cylindrical products in a vertical single-row arrangement.

[0015] It also includes a vertical holding component located below the reversing component, the vertical holding component being provided with a through vertical channel for the cylindrical product to pass through vertically; the vertical channel is an integral structure, or the vertical channel is formed by two opposing concave cavities joined together.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention combines a material transfer mechanism with a material receiving base. Cylindrical products are horizontally stacked in the material receiving base. Through the relative movement of the material transfer plates on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity, the lowest cylindrical product in the receiving cavity can move with the material transfer plates to the material drop hole on the support platform and fall down, thus achieving the separation of the cylindrical products one by one in a horizontal state. Then, the cylindrical products are redirected as they are output downwards in the reversing assembly, ultimately being output in a vertical axial state, realizing automated feeding of cylindrical products and ensuring production efficiency and effectiveness. This utility model also has the following advantages: The continuous feeding of cylindrical products by the material hopper to the lower material container effectively ensures the continuity of material feeding; the material feeding mechanism between the material hopper and the material container effectively ensures the smooth and efficient feeding of material from the material hopper to the material container. By using an end detection mechanism to determine the end of the cylindrical product, and combining this with the action of the commutation drive in the commutation assembly, the cylindrical product can effectively ensure the consistency of the end while outputting in an axially vertical state. By setting up the vertical retaining component below the reversing component, the vertical state of the cylindrical product is effectively guaranteed, and it is convenient for the subsequent vehicle to carry the cylindrical product in the vertical state.

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism of this embodiment includes a support platform 1, a material receiving seat 5 on the top surface of the support platform 1, and cylindrical products 10 arranged axially along the X direction stacked in the receiving cavity of the material receiving seat 5; a material transfer mechanism 3 is arranged on the side outside the material receiving seat 5, in which a material transfer plate 34 extends into the inside of the material receiving seat 5 and fits against the bottom surface of the receiving cavity; a material receiving hole 341 is opened on the material transfer plate 34, and a material dropping hole 12 is opened on the support platform 1. As the material transfer plate 34 moves in the Y direction, the material receiving hole 341 switches back and forth between the receiving cavity and the material dropping hole 12, and the material receiving hole 341 is directly opposite to one of the receiving cavity and the material dropping hole 12; a reversing component 7 is arranged on the bottom surface of the support platform 1, which is directly opposite to the material dropping hole 12, and a reversing cavity 70 with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part is provided in the reversing component 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cylindrical products 10 are horizontally stacked in the receiving seat 5 by the transfer mechanism 3 combined with the receiving seat 5. Through the relative movement of the transfer plate 34 on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity, the cylindrical products 10 at the bottom of the receiving cavity can move with the transfer plate 34 to the drop hole 12 of the support platform 1 and fall down, thereby realizing the separation of the cylindrical products 10 one by one in a horizontal state. Then, the cylindrical products 10 are reversed in the reversing assembly 7 as they are output downward with the reversing cavity 70, and finally output in an axial vertical state.

[0028] In actual operation, when the transfer plate 34 moves to be directly opposite the receiving cavity of the receiving seat 5, the lowest cylindrical product 10 in the receiving cavity is located in the receiving hole 341 of the transfer plate 34. As the transfer plate 34 moves until it is directly opposite the dropping hole 12 of the support table 1, the cylindrical product 10 in the receiving hole 341 will move synchronously with the transfer plate 34 until it falls from the dropping hole 12, so that the transfer mechanism 3 realizes the one-to-one distribution of the cylindrical products 10.

[0029] It also includes a hopper 4, with the bottom discharge port 43 of the hopper 4 directly above the receiving cavity of the receiving seat 5. The hopper 4 contains stacked cylindrical products 10 arranged axially along the X direction. The bottom surface of the hopper 4 forms a sloping structure that slopes downward toward the discharge port 43, which helps the cylindrical products 10 in the hopper 4 to fall smoothly toward the discharge port 43.

[0030] In this embodiment, the material hopper 4 continuously feeds material to the lower material receiving seat 5, effectively ensuring the continuity of feeding the cylindrical product 10; then, the material receiving seat 5, in conjunction with the action of the material transfer mechanism 3, finally realizes the distribution of the cylindrical product 10.

[0031] It also includes a feeding mechanism 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the feeding mechanism 2, the actuating frame 28 is located between the material discharge port 43 and the material receiving seat 5. The actuating frame 28 moves back and forth in the Y direction. The distance between the inner wall surfaces of the actuating frame 28 in the Y direction is less than the distance between the outer wall surfaces of the material receiving seat 5 in the Y direction. During the reciprocating movement of the actuating frame 28, the inner wall surfaces of the actuating frame 28 in the Y direction are always located inside the outer wall surfaces of the material receiving seat 5 in the Y direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, the material feeding mechanism 2 between the hopper 4 and the receiving seat 5 effectively ensures the smooth and unobstructed flow of material from the hopper 4 to the receiving seat 5. By the reciprocating movement of the actuating frame 28 in the Y direction, the actuating frame 28 can move back and forth on the cylindrical product 10 between the receiving seat 5 and the hopper 4 with a preset amplitude, effectively reducing or even avoiding jamming when the cylindrical product 10 falls from the hopper 4 to the receiving seat 5, and ensuring that the cylindrical product 10 can fall stably and stack in the receiving cavity of the receiving seat 5.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the distance between the inner wall surfaces of the actuating frame 28 in the Y direction is L1, and the distance between the outer wall surfaces of the material holder 5 in the Y direction is L2. L1 is set to be less than L2, and during the actuating frame 28's movement in the Y direction, L1 is always located inside L2, effectively ensuring the reliability of the actuating frame 28's movement.

[0034] The structure of the material feeding mechanism 2 is as follows: it includes a back plate 20 fixedly disposed relative to the support platform 1. The back plate 20 has guide rods 24 arranged vertically and horizontally on its side via rod seats 26. The guide rods 24 are axially arranged along the Y direction. The upper and lower guide rods 24 are slidably fitted with a moving block 25. The moving block 25 is installed on the actuating frame 28. The moving block 25 is driven by the driving power to move along the axial direction of the guide rods 24, thereby driving the actuating frame 28 to move synchronously, thus realizing the reciprocating movement of the actuating frame 28 in the Y direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving force that drives the movable block 25 to move along the axial direction of the guide rod 24 can be a motor 21. A rotating body 22 is coaxially mounted on the output end of the motor 21. The end face of the rotating body 22 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 23 at a position off-center from the center. The other end of the connecting rod 23 is hinged to the movable block 25. Thus, as the motor 21 rotates, the rotating body 22 rotates synchronously along its own axial direction. The rotating body 22 pulls the movable block 25 to reciprocate through the connecting rod 23, effectively ensuring the reliability of the reciprocating movement of the movable block 25.

[0036] In this embodiment, a guide block 27 is also fitted on the guide rod 24. The guide block 27 and the moving block 25 are installed together on the outer wall of the toggle frame 28. During the movement of the moving block 25, the guide block 27 provides guidance for the movement and ensures the stability of the movement.

[0037] In this embodiment, the back plate 20 can be directly installed on the support platform 1. Alternatively, the back plate 20 can be installed on the vertical seat 11 of the support platform 1. When needed, the back plate 20 can be fixed and locked through the vertical holes on the vertical seat 11 using fasteners, and its height can be adjusted as required.

[0038] The feeding mechanism 2 also includes a feeding element 29, which moves synchronously with the feeding frame 28. The end of the feeding element 29 is arranged facing the bottom surface of the hopper 4. As the feeding element 29 moves in the Y direction, the end of the feeding element 29 intermittently extends into the hopper 4 to feed the internal cylindrical product 10.

[0039] In actual use, when the pusher 29 moves toward the material outlet 43 of the hopper 4, the pusher 29 will exert force through the bottom surface of the hopper 4 to push the internal cylindrical product 10; when the pusher 29 moves in the opposite direction, the pusher 29 moves away from the bottom surface of the hopper 4, thereby realizing the reciprocating pushing.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, the structure of the hopper 4 is as follows: it includes side plates 47 arranged at intervals in the X direction. The interval between the side plates 47 is adapted to the length of the cylindrical product 10. Side support plates 45 and bottom support plates 44 extend towards each other at the side edges and bottom edges of the facing side plates 47, respectively. The bottom support plates 44 of the two side plates 47 are arranged at an inclination in the same direction and together form a material discharge port 43 at the lowest point. One side plate 47 includes an upper hopper door 41 and a lower fixing plate 42. The hopper door 41 and the fixing plate 42 are hinged to form an openable and closable structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the two side plates 47 of the hopper 4 can be connected by the connecting plates 46 arranged at intervals to form a whole. Of course, in actual operation, the two side plates 47 of the hopper 4 can also be installed separately to form a relatively fixed structure, which can support the columnar product 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the hopper 4 can be supported and fixed on the vertical seat 11 and the back plate 20 to fix the hopper 4 relative to the support platform 1; when the hopper door 41 is open relative to the fixed plate 42, the hopper door 41 can also be supported by the support rod 40 on the support platform 1; opening the hopper door 41 facilitates the loading of cylindrical products 10 into the hopper 4.

[0043] It also includes an end detection mechanism 6, which includes a detection rod 63 axially arranged along the X direction. One end of the detection rod 63 extends through into the receiving cavity of the material holder 5 and is directly opposite the end of the cylindrical product 10. The other end of the detection rod 63 is fitted through and mounted on a detection seat 62. An elastic element 64 is installed between the detection seat 62 and the detection rod 63. The detection seat 62 is installed at the output end of the linear drive power 61. The detection seat 62 is driven by the linear drive power 61 to move a preset distance in the X direction. The detection rod 63 moves axially toward the cylindrical product 10 simultaneously, so that the end of the rod is inserted into the cylindrical product 10. Alternatively, the axial movement of the detection rod 63 toward the cylindrical product 10 is blocked, and it moves in the opposite direction to compress the elastic element 64. In actual use, the actual distance that the detection rod 63 moves toward the cylindrical product 10 can be detected by sensors or other detection devices to determine the orientation of the end of the cylindrical product 10.

[0044] The end detection mechanism 6 in this embodiment can be used when the two ends of the cylindrical product 10 have different axial depth features. For example, one end of the cylindrical product 10 is flat and the other end is concave, or both ends are concave but with different depths.

[0045] In actual operation, the preset stroke of the detection rod 63 driven by the linear drive 61 toward the cylindrical product 10 is matched with the deeper end. If the detection rod 63 can be smoothly inserted into the cylindrical product 10, the detection rod 63 is facing the deeper end of the cylindrical product 10. If the detection rod 63 cannot be smoothly inserted into the cylindrical product 10, the detection rod 63 is facing the opposite end of the deeper end of the cylindrical product 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, a stepped surface can be provided on the detection rod 63, and the elastic element 64 is fitted onto the detection rod 63 between the stepped surface and the detection seat 62.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the size of the upper opening of the reversing cavity 70 of the reversing assembly 7 is adapted to the cylindrical product 10 in a horizontally arranged state. The inner wall surfaces of the reversing cavities 70 corresponding to both ends of the cylindrical product 10 shrink inward from top to bottom until the size of the lower opening of the reversing cavity 70 is adapted to the cylindrical product 10 in a vertically arranged state. When the cylindrical product 10 falls into the reversing cavity 70, the cylindrical product 10 will adjust its posture with the reversing cavity 70.

[0048] It also includes a commutation drive 73 installed opposite to the commutation cavity 70. The commutation drive 73 drives the stop member of the output section to move in the X direction. The stop member extends into the commutation cavity 70 to form a stop at the corresponding end of the cylindrical product 10. When one end of the commutation drive 73 is activated, causing the stop member to extend into the commutation cavity 70 to form a stop at the cylindrical product 10, the corresponding end of the cylindrical product 10 will move away from the stop and swing upward, eventually reaching the upper end of the cylindrical product 10 in the vertical state. Thus, the action of the two sets of commutation drive 73 can make the cylindrical product 10 flip in the commutation cavity 70 according to the preset direction, realizing the directional vertical output of the cylindrical product 10.

[0049] The end detection mechanism 6 determines the end of the cylindrical product 10, and combined with the action of the reversing drive 73 in the reversing assembly 7, the cylindrical product 10 can effectively ensure the consistency of the end while outputting in an axial vertical state.

[0050] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the reversing assembly 7 includes directional plates 71 arranged opposite each other, forming a reversing cavity 70 between the directional plates 71, and side sealing plates 72 are respectively mounted on both sides of the directional plates 71 to form the reversing assembly 7; the reversing drive power 73 can be a cylinder with its output end facing inward and mounted on the directional plate 71.

[0051] The material holder 5 is provided with partitions 51 inside, which divide the inner cavity of the material holder 5 into one or more receiving cavities arranged in parallel along the Y direction. The individual receiving cavities are stacked in a vertical single row to form cylindrical products 10.

[0052] exist Figure 3In the embodiment shown, two receiving cavities are arranged side by side in the material receiving seat 5. Combined with two sets of material transfer mechanisms 3 arranged opposite to each other, the two detection rods 63 are driven to move simultaneously by the same set of end detection mechanisms 6. Two reversing cavities 70 are arranged accordingly below the support platform 1, thereby realizing the synchronous directional feeding and output of the two cylindrical products 10.

[0053] In this embodiment, the structure of the material transfer mechanism 3 is as follows: it includes a power seat 32 installed on the outside of the material container 5, a moving drive power 31 installed on the power seat 32, a connecting rod 33 installed at the output end of the moving drive power 31, and the end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the material transfer plate 34.

[0054] In this embodiment, a base plate 52 can be installed on the bottom surface of the material container 5. The base plate 52 is fixed to the support platform 1. A through hole 521 is opened on the base plate 52, which is directly opposite to the material drop hole 12 on the support platform 1. In the material transfer mechanism 3, the material transfer plate 34 moves by adhering to the material container 5 and the base plate 52 on the top and bottom respectively.

[0055] It also includes a vertical retaining component 8 located below the reversing component 7. The vertical retaining component 8 is provided with a through vertical channel through which the cylindrical product 10 passes vertically. The vertical channel is an integral structure, or the vertical channel is formed by two opposing concave cavities 851 joined together.

[0056] In this embodiment, the cylindrical product 10 output by the reversing component 7 may still have a certain tilt due to the reversing action from horizontal to vertical, and is not completely vertical. The setting of the vertical holding component 8 below the reversing component 7 effectively ensures the vertical state of the cylindrical product 10 and facilitates the subsequent carrier to carry the cylindrical product 10 in the vertical state. The cylindrical product 10 output by the vertical holding component 8 can be directly loaded into the external carrier.

[0057] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the structure of the vertical holding component 8 is as follows: it includes a base 81 arranged at intervals, a closing drive power 82 with its output ends facing each other is mounted on the base 81, a guide member 83 is provided on the top surface of the base 81 to form a guide channel, a moving member 84 installed at the output end of the closing drive power 82 passes through the guide channel, a holding seat 85 is installed at the end of the moving member 84, and the concave cavities 851 on the facing sides of the two holding seats 85 approach each other and fit together to form a vertical channel, which is directly below the reversing cavity 70 of the reversing component 7.

[0058] This invention enables cylindrical products to be output in a vertical axial position, achieving directional automated feeding of cylindrical products and ensuring production efficiency and effectiveness.

[0059] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

The cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism as described in claim 1, characterized in that: It also includes an end detection mechanism (6), which includes a detection rod (63) axially arranged along the X direction. One end of the detection rod (63) extends through into the receiving cavity of the receiving seat (5) and is directly opposite the end of the cylindrical product (10). The other end of the detection rod (63) is fitted through and mounted on the detection seat (62). An elastic element (64) is installed between the detection seat (62) and the detection rod (63). The detection seat (62) is installed at the output end of the linear drive power (61). The detection seat (62) is driven by the linear drive power (61) to move a preset distance in the X direction. The detection rod (63) moves axially toward the cylindrical product (10) in sync, so that the end is fitted with the cylindrical product (10). Alternatively, the axial movement of the detection rod (63) toward the cylindrical product (10) is blocked and moves in the opposite direction to compress the elastic element (64).

8. The cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The size of the upper opening of the commutation cavity (70) of the commutation assembly (7) is adapted to the cylindrical product (10) in a horizontal arrangement. The inner wall surfaces of the commutation cavities (70) corresponding to both ends of the cylindrical product (10) shrink inward from top to bottom until the size of the lower opening of the commutation cavity (70) is adapted to the cylindrical product (10) in a vertical arrangement. It also includes a commutation drive power (73) installed relative to the commutation cavity (70). The commutation drive power (73) drives the stop member of the output part to move in the X direction. The stop member extends into the commutation cavity (70) to form a stop at the corresponding end of the cylindrical product (10).

9. The cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The material holder (5) is provided with partitions (51) inside, which divide the inner cavity of the material holder (5) into one or more accommodating cavities arranged in parallel in the Y direction. The individual accommodating cavities are stacked in a vertical single-row form with cylindrical products (10).

10. The cylindrical component orientation feeding mechanism as described in claim 1, characterized in that: It also includes a vertical holding assembly (8) located below the reversing assembly (7), the vertical holding assembly (8) being provided with a through vertical channel for the cylindrical product (10) to pass through vertically; the vertical channel is an integral structure, or the vertical channel is formed by two opposing concave cavities (851) joined together.
