Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the existing sorting machine, specifically the cylindrical battery sorting machine in patent CN222830162U, the cylindrical batteries are guided by a conveying mechanism and a gear with an arc groove, allowing them to enter the feeding tray sequentially. The rotation of the gear is controlled by the conveying speed of the conveying mechanism, while the rotation of the feeding tray is controlled by a motor at the lower end of the feeding tray. The blocking mechanism is controlled by a cylinder. When the cylinder fails, the conveying mechanism will cause the empty cups of the cylindrical batteries to continuously enter the feeding space of the feeding tray, resulting in the feeding tray being jammed by the empty cups and affecting the feeding. Therefore, in order to allow the empty cups of the cylindrical batteries to be fed sequentially, the feeding device of this sorting machine was designed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device for a sorting machine. The empty cups of the battery are guided by the groove on the screw. By rotating the screw, the empty cups of the battery move sequentially along the conveying mechanism and enter the feeding tray in sequence, thus avoiding the situation where multiple empty cups enter and jam the feeding tray.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for a sorting machine, including a base plate, on which a feeding disc is rotatably connected, and a conveying mechanism is mounted on the side of the feeding disc outside the base plate. The screw feeding mechanism is characterized in that: a screw feeding mechanism is provided on the side of the conveying mechanism, located on the other side of the conveying mechanism; the screw feeding mechanism includes a frame, on which a first bearing seat and a second bearing seat are fixed; a screw is rotatably connected between the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat; a motor mounting plate is fixed on the outer side of the second bearing seat; a motor is connected to the motor mounting plate; a threaded groove is formed on the surface of the screw; the output end of the motor and the output end of the screw are both on the other side of the motor mounting plate, and both are fitted with and fixed with synchronous pulleys, which are connected by a synchronous belt.

[0005] To enable the empty cups to be conveyed sequentially, a baffle mechanism is also fixed on the substrate. The baffle mechanism includes a guide plate fixed on the substrate, a stop block hinged to the end of the guide plate, an optical axis connected to the upper end of the stop block, and a spring fixing post fixed on the substrate. A spring is connected to the optical axis and the spring fixing post.

[0006] In order to block the empty cup of the cylindrical battery, a positioning block is also fixed on the substrate. The positioning block is internally threaded with a bolt, which abuts against the side of the optical axis to lock the optical axis.

[0007] To detect smooth conveying of the rotating wheel, a rotating wheel pushing mechanism is provided on the frame, including a sleeve post fixed on the frame, a rotating wheel sleeved on the end of the sleeve post, and a proximity switch fixed on the side of the rotating wheel.

[0008] In order to insert the blocking post into the rotating wheel to prevent the tipping of the empty cup, a cylinder is also fixed on the frame. A lifting plate is connected to the output end of the cylinder, and the blocking post is fixed on the lifting plate. The cylinder extends and retracts to insert the blocking post into the rotating wheel.

[0009] In order to guide the other side of the cylindrical battery and to stably guide the rotating wheel to the center of the empty cup of the battery, a limiting plate is provided on the outer side of the frame, and a limiting hole is formed on the surface of the limiting plate, into which the rotating wheel is inserted.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are: (1) The empty cups of the battery are guided by the groove on the screw. By rotating the screw, the empty cups of the battery move along the conveying mechanism in sequence and enter the feeding tray in sequence, so as to avoid the situation where multiple empty cups enter and jam the feeding tray. (2) The spring force is used to apply a pushing force to the optical axis and the stop block, so that the stop block tilts inward and guides the empty battery cup. When the material is jammed, the empty battery cup will squeeze the stop block, causing the stop block to move outward and the optical axis to move inward and away from the proximity switch. The proximity switch cannot detect it, so it feeds back to the system that the material is jammed, thereby stopping the machine and alarming. (3) When the cup tilts during the conveying process, the blocking column is inserted into the rotating wheel by the cylinder to stop the rotation of the rotating wheel, so that the cup is stopped from being conveyed and the faulty station is dealt with in a timely manner.

[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0013] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for a sorting machine, including a base plate 1, a feeding disc 2 rotatably connected to the base plate 1, the feeding disc 2 being driven to rotate by a motor, a conveying mechanism 3 mounted on the side of the feeding disc 2 on the outer side of the base plate 1, the conveying mechanism 3 sequentially conveying cylindrical batteries into a screw feeding mechanism 5, the screw feeding mechanism 5 being provided on the side of the conveying mechanism 3, the screw feeding mechanism 5 being located on the other side of the conveying mechanism 3, the screw feeding mechanism 5 including a frame 51, a first bearing seat 52 and a second bearing seat 53 fixed on the frame 51, a screw 54 rotatably connected between the first bearing seat 52 and the second bearing seat 53 via a bearing, a motor mounting plate 56 fixed on the outer side of the second bearing seat 53, a motor 55 connected to the motor mounting plate 56, grooves with threaded distribution formed on the surface of the screw 54, the output end of the motor 55 and the output end of the screw 54 are both on the other side of the motor mounting plate 56, and both are fitted with synchronous pulleys. The synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt. The cylindrical battery first enters the groove of the screw 54. The rotation of the screw 54 causes the cylindrical battery to move along the threaded groove. The frequency of cylindrical battery entry is adjusted. Existing technical solutions generally control the frequency of cylindrical battery entry by the rotation speed of the feed tray 2. The conveying speed of the conveying mechanism 3 is generally greater than the feeding speed of the feed tray 2 to ensure that there are always cylindrical batteries waiting to enter the feed tray 2. When the blocking mechanism 6 fails or malfunctions, the conveying mechanism 3 may push multiple cylindrical batteries into the feeding space of the feed tray 2, causing the feed tray 2 to jam. Therefore, by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor 55, the rotation speed of the screw 54 can be controlled, thereby controlling the frequency of cylindrical battery entry, so that the frequency of cylindrical battery entry corresponds to the feeding frequency of the feed tray 2, avoiding the cylindrical batteries from jamming in the feed tray 2. At the same time, an additional safety measure is added to prevent the failure of the blocking mechanism 6 from affecting the sequential feeding of cylindrical batteries.

[0014] like Figure 3As shown, a baffle mechanism 6 is also fixed on the substrate 1. The baffle mechanism 6 includes a guide plate 61 bolted to the substrate 1. A stop block 62 is hinged to the end of the guide plate 61 via a pin. An optical axis 63 is bolted to the upper end of the stop block 62. A spring fixing post 64 is also inserted and fixed on the substrate 1. A spring 65 is connected between the optical axis 63 and the spring fixing post 64. The spring force of the spring 65 applies a pushing force to the optical axis 63, causing the stop block 62 to tilt towards the conveying mechanism 3 and block the cylindrical battery. When the cylindrical battery is conveyed, it needs to overcome the spring force of the spring 65 in sequence. This allows the stop block 62 to move outward and no longer obstruct the conveying path, enabling the sequential conveying of cylindrical batteries and preventing them from continuously entering the feed tray 2. Compared to the cylinder extension and retraction for blocking empty cups, the spring stop is faster and prevents empty cups from being missed. The spring 65 provides elasticity to reset the optical axis 63 and the stop block 62. When a battery is jammed, the empty cup will tilt, squeezing the stop block 62 outward and causing the optical axis 63 to move away from the side proximity switch. If the proximity switch cannot detect the jam, it will send jamming information to the system, triggering a shutdown alarm.

[0015] like Figure 3 As shown, a positioning block 66 is also fixed on the substrate 1. A bolt 67 is threadedly connected to the positioning block 66. By rotating the bolt 67, the extension length of the bolt 67 is controlled, thereby adjusting the angle of the optical axis 63 and controlling the extension length of the stop block 62 to the inward side, further blocking the cylindrical battery. At the same time, the bolt 67 abuts against the side of the optical axis 63, which can lock the position of the stop block 62 to prevent the cylindrical battery from entering the feed tray 2.

[0016] like Figure 4 As shown, a rotating wheel pushing mechanism 4 is provided on the frame 51, including a sleeve post 41 fixed on the frame 51. A rotating wheel 42 is sleeved on the end of the sleeve post 41. Multiple circular grooves are opened on the surface of the rotating wheel 42 to facilitate the guidance of the cylindrical batteries. The cylindrical batteries move sequentially under the conveying of the conveying mechanism 3 and the guidance of the rotating wheel 42. A proximity switch is fixed on the side of the rotating wheel 42. The proximity switch detects the rotating wheel 42. When the proximity switch does not detect the rotation frequency signal of the rotating wheel 42, it means that there is a jam in the empty cup.

[0017] like Figure 4 As shown, a cylinder 43 is also fixed on the frame 51. A lifting plate 45 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 43. A blocking column 44 is connected to the lifting plate 45. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 43 will control the up and down movement of the lifting plate 45, thereby inserting the blocking column 44 into the rotating wheel 42 to block the rotation of the rotating wheel 42. This prevents the mechanism from being damaged by the continued rotation after the material is jammed.

[0018] like Figure 4As shown, a limiting plate 46 is provided on the outer side of the frame 51. A limiting hole is opened on the surface of the limiting plate 46. The rotating wheel 42 is inserted into the limiting hole. The limiting plate 46 is located on the other side of the conveying mechanism 3 to guide the cylindrical battery. At the same time, a part of the rotating wheel 42 is inserted into the limiting hole and located above the conveying mechanism 3 to guide the cylindrical battery, so that the cylindrical battery enters in sequence.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
