Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying structure technology, and in particular to a bearing feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as machinery manufacturing and automated assembly, bearings are core transmission components, and their automated feeding process directly affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, most bearing feeding uses a clip-type feeding mechanism, which has several significant drawbacks. The clip-type design requires a dedicated storage bin, pushing components, and adaptable structures, resulting in numerous parts and high machining precision requirements, significantly increasing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the customized nature of the clips keeps maintenance costs high. In addition, its large overall size occupies significant production line space, making it difficult to adapt to the high-density integration layout requirements of today's automated production lines. During the pushing process, squeezing and collisions are prone to occur, which can not only cause scratches on the bearing surface and damage to precision but also easily lead to jamming and blockage, resulting in poor operational stability. Moreover, the fixed size and structure of the clips only accommodate specific bearing models. When switching to different specifications, the entire clip assembly must be replaced, resulting in poor compatibility and severely impacting production changeover efficiency.

[0004] As industrial production moves towards greater flexibility, lower costs, and higher efficiency, existing magazine-type feeding mechanisms can no longer meet diverse production demands. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bearing feeding mechanism that is simple in structure, low in cost, stable in operation, and highly compatible. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a bearing feeding mechanism that is simple in structure, stable in operation, and highly compatible.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the bearing feeding mechanism proposed in this utility model includes: The first conveyor line is used to transport bearings to be loaded. A second transmission line is disposed on one side of the first transmission line, and the transmission direction of the second transmission line is opposite to that of the first transmission line. A guide member is fixedly disposed at the end of the first conveyor line and is used to guide the bearing on the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line on one side. A limiting member is provided on one side of the second conveyor line and is used to adjust the width and / or height spacing between itself and the second conveyor line.

[0007] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first conveyor line includes a first conveyor belt and a first motor, the output end of the first motor being drivenly connected to the roller shaft of the first conveyor belt to drive the first conveyor belt to operate; the second conveyor line includes a second conveyor belt and a second motor, the output end of the second motor being drivenly connected to the roller shaft of the second conveyor belt to drive the second conveyor belt to operate.

[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide surface of the guide member is an arc-shaped plate structure, the inner side of the arc-shaped plate structure forms an arc-shaped surface that curves upward toward the end of the first conveyor line, and one end of the arc-shaped surface extends to the second conveyor line.

[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the limiting member includes a width limiting member and a height limiting member; The width limiting member is disposed on one side of the second conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line; the height limiting member is disposed above the second conveyor belt.

[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the limiting member is positioned near the middle section of the second conveyor line.

[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the width of the first conveyor belt is greater than the width of the second conveyor belt.

[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide member is further provided with a detachable cleaning port, and the cleaning port is equipped with an openable and closable cover plate.

[0013] In some embodiments of this utility model, a storage tank for receiving cleaning material is also included, the storage tank being disposed below the cleaning port.

[0014] In some embodiments of this utility model, a fixing frame is also included, and the first motor and the first conveyor belt roller support of the first conveyor line and the second motor and the second conveyor belt roller support of the second conveyor line are all fixedly installed on the fixing frame.

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, one end of the width limiting member is hinged to the fixed frame; the height limiting member is detachably connected to the fixed frame.

[0016] This utility model's technical solution uses a first conveyor line as the initial conveying carrier, receiving and loading bearings in batches to provide a stable supply for subsequent stages. When a bearing reaches the end of the first conveyor line, a guiding component precisely receives it and, through its own structure, smoothly guides the bearing to a second conveyor line on one side, in the opposite direction, achieving a seamless switch in bearing conveying direction and avoiding jamming during the turning process. After the bearing enters the second conveyor line, a limiting component, by adjusting the width and height distance between the bearing and the conveyor line, constrains the bearing's lateral position and vertical posture, preventing the bearing from shifting or tilting during transport. With the coordinated action of all mechanisms, the complex storage and pushing components of traditional clip-on mechanisms are eliminated, significantly simplifying the overall structure, reducing the number of parts, lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty, and reducing equipment space occupation. The limiting adjustment function can adapt to bearings of different specifications, improving equipment compatibility; effectively solving the problems of high cost and poor compatibility in existing technologies.

[0023] See appendix Figure 1 This utility model proposes a bearing feeding mechanism, comprising: The first conveyor line 100 is used to transport bearings to be loaded. The second transmission line 200 is disposed on one side of the first transmission line 100, and the transmission direction of the second transmission line 200 is opposite to that of the first transmission line 100. The guide member 300 is fixedly disposed at the end of the first conveyor line 100 and is used to guide the bearing on the first conveyor line 100 to the second conveyor line 200 on one side. A limiting member 400 is provided on one side of the second conveyor line 200 and is used to adjust the width and / or height spacing between itself and the second conveyor line 200.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical features, the first conveyor line 100 serves as the initial conveying carrier, receiving and loading bearings in batches to provide a stable supply guarantee for subsequent stages. When the bearings arrive at the end of the first conveyor line 100, the guide component 300 precisely receives them and, through its own structure, smoothly guides the bearings to the second conveyor line 200 on one side, in the opposite direction, achieving a seamless switch in the bearing conveying direction and avoiding jamming during the turning process. After the bearings enter the second conveyor line 200, the limiting component 400 constrains the lateral position and vertical posture of the bearings by adjusting the width and height distance between itself and the conveyor line, preventing the bearings from shifting or tilting during transport. With the coordinated action of each mechanism, the complex storage and pushing components of the traditional clip-on mechanism are eliminated, greatly simplifying the overall structure, reducing the number of parts, lowering manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty, and reducing equipment space occupation. The limiting adjustment function can adapt to bearings of different specifications, improving equipment compatibility and effectively solving the problems of high cost and poor compatibility of existing technologies.

[0025] The first conveyor line 100 includes a first conveyor belt and a first motor. The output end of the first motor is connected to the roller shaft of the first conveyor belt to drive the first conveyor belt to operate. The second conveyor line 200 includes a second conveyor belt and a second motor. The output end of the second motor is connected to the roller shaft of the second conveyor belt to drive the second conveyor belt to operate. The independent drive structure of the motor and conveyor belt allows the first and second motors to drive their respective conveyor belts. The speed of the two conveyor lines can be flexibly adjusted according to actual material requirements. For example, when the first conveyor line 100 needs to supply materials in batches, its speed can be increased; when the second conveyor line 200 needs precise positioning, its speed can be decreased, avoiding material jamming and accumulation problems caused by mismatched conveyor speeds. Furthermore, the independent drive design means that if a single conveyor line malfunctions, there is no need for a complete shutdown for maintenance; only the malfunctioning conveyor line needs to be repaired, improving the overall operating efficiency and fault tolerance of the equipment and reducing the risk of production interruption.

[0026] Furthermore, the guide surface of the guide member 300 has an arc-shaped plate structure. The inner side of the arc-shaped plate structure forms an arc-shaped surface that curves upwards towards the end of the first conveyor line 100, and one end of the arc-shaped surface extends to the second conveyor line 200. The arc-shaped plate structure's guide surface curves upwards and extends to the second conveyor line 200, allowing the bearing to smoothly transition along the arc-shaped surface when it turns from the first conveyor line 100 to the second conveyor line 200. This avoids bearing impact and jamming problems caused by traditional right-angle guidance, and reduces the risk of bearing surface scratches and precision damage. At the same time, the arc-shaped surface's wrapping guidance can limit the lateral displacement of the bearing, ensuring that the bearing accurately falls into the second conveyor line 200 without additional manual adjustment, thus improving the reliability and automation of the turning conveyor.

[0027] Preferably, the limiting component 400 includes a width limiting component 410 and a height limiting component 420; the width limiting component 410 is disposed on one side of the second conveyor belt along the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 200; the height limiting component 420 is disposed above the second conveyor belt; the limiting component 400 is split into the width limiting component 410 and the height limiting component 420, which can be adjusted to limit the diameter and thickness of the bearing respectively: the width limiting component 410 prevents the bearing from moving laterally on the second conveyor line 200, and the height limiting component 420 prevents the bearing from stacking or tilting. The two work together to keep the bearing in a uniform posture during conveying, providing a guarantee for the accurate gripping of the subsequent material handling mechanism; compared with the integrated limiting structure, the split design is more flexible in adjustment, and the width or height parameters can be adjusted separately according to the bearing specifications, reducing the difficulty of adjustment and improving the adaptation efficiency.

[0028] The limiting component 400 is positioned near the middle section of the second conveyor line 200. By placing the limiting component 400 in the middle section of the second conveyor line 200, rather than at the end, the bearing can undergo a buffer conveying process before being limited and calibrated after entering the second conveyor line 200. This avoids jamming caused by being constrained immediately upon entering the conveyor line. At the same time, the middle section limiting can correct the bearing's posture in advance, ensuring that the bearing remains stable during the subsequent conveying to the end. This provides sufficient positioning time for the material handling mechanism, further improving material handling accuracy and efficiency, and reducing material handling failures caused by posture deviations.

[0029] Specifically, the width of the first conveyor belt is greater than the width of the second conveyor belt. This greater width allows the first conveyor line 100 to carry more bearings of more specifications and in greater quantities at once, improving batch feeding capacity and adapting to high production capacity requirements. On the other hand, the wider first conveyor belt reduces the positioning requirements during the initial feeding of bearings, eliminating the need for precise alignment during manual or automatic feeding and simplifying the feeding operation. Meanwhile, the narrower second conveyor belt, in conjunction with the limiting component 400, can more precisely constrain the bearing position, balancing batch processing and precision.

[0030] Furthermore, the guide component 300 is also equipped with a detachable cleaning port 500, and the cleaning port 500 is equipped with an openable and closable cover plate 600. With the detachable cleaning port 500 and the openable and closable cover plate 600, when the bearing is stuck in the guide surface or impurities accumulate, the cover plate 600 can be opened to quickly clean through the cleaning port 500 without disassembling the entire guide component 300, reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs. During normal conveying, the cover plate 600 is closed to prevent the bearing from falling out of the cleaning port 500 or external impurities from entering, ensuring the sealing and conveying stability of the guide component 300. The detachable design also facilitates the individual replacement or cleaning of the cleaning port 500, extending the overall service life of the guide component 300.

[0031] This also includes a storage tank 700 for receiving cleaning materials, which is located below the cleaning port 500. The storage tank 700 is located below the cleaning port 500 and can directly receive the bearings or impurities cleaned from the cleaning port 500, preventing them from scattering into the equipment or on the ground, reducing bearing loss and environmental pollution. At the same time, it facilitates the recycling and reuse of the cleaned intact bearings, reducing material waste. The storage tank 700 can be disassembled and cleaned periodically, and maintenance can be completed without stopping the machine, further improving the convenience and economy of equipment maintenance.

[0032] In this embodiment, a fixed frame 800 is also included. The first motor and first conveyor belt roller support of the first conveyor line 100, as well as the second motor and second conveyor belt roller support of the second conveyor line 200, are all fixedly installed on the fixed frame 800. The fixed frame 800 uniformly fixes the motors and roller supports of the first and second conveyor lines 200, ensuring the relative position of the two conveyor lines is stable, avoiding conveyor line deviation caused by equipment operation vibration, and thus preventing misalignment of the bearings during rotational conveying. At the same time, the fixed frame 800 provides a unified installation benchmark for each component, simplifies the assembly process, reduces assembly errors, makes the overall structure of the equipment more stable, reduces noise and vibration during operation, and improves the service life and operational stability of the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the width limiting component 410 is hinged to the fixed frame 800; the height limiting component 420 is detachably connected to the fixed frame 800; the width limiting component 410, by hinged to the fixed frame 800, can rotate to adjust the distance between itself and the second conveyor line 200 without disassembly during adjustment, making operation more convenient, and the hinged structure has strong stability and is not easily displaced after adjustment; the height limiting component 420 adopts a detachable connection, allowing for direct replacement of limiting components of different height specifications, or changing the height distance by adjusting the installation position. Compared with the fixed connection structure, it is more efficient in adapting to bearings of different thicknesses, and at the same time facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the height limiting component 420, further improving the maintenance flexibility of the equipment.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
