In order to solve the problem of vibration directional feeding of viscous materials, the invention provides a vibration feeding device for viscous materials.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the vibration feeding device of the present disclosure includes a vibration plate 1 and a brush scattering mechanism 2. The structure of the vibration plate 1 may be a vibration plate structure well known in the art, and the present disclosure is not further limited herein.
The vibratory pan 1 includes a hopper 11 and a direction sorting mechanism 12. The hopper 11 may be a screw type hopper or a line type hopper, etc. The hopper 11 comprises a feed rail 111, the discharge rail 111 having a discharge opening 1111 for discharging.
The directional sorting mechanism 12 may be, for example, a jet directional sorting mechanism or a gripper type sorting mechanism, etc. Specifically, the directional sorting mechanism 12 may blow off the non-desirably oriented material from the outlet 1111 by means of air jets, or the directional sorting mechanism 12 may grasp the non-desirably oriented material from the outlet 1111 by means of mechanical grippers. The material blown off or caught off the discharge opening 1111 may be returned to the discharge rail 111 or leave the discharge rail 111.
The orientation requirement of the materials can be set according to actual requirements. For example, if the material is a material having a forward direction and a reverse direction, directional loading of the material refers to loading in which the forward and reverse directions of each material are consistent. For another example, if the material is a material having a head and a tail, directional loading of the material refers to loading in which the head and tail of each material are oriented consistently.
The directional detection of the materials can be realized by an optical fiber sensor or an image sensor, etc. The optical fiber sensor can detect the reflectivity of the surface of the material, so that the material which does not meet the orientation requirement is identified. The image sensor can scan to obtain the outline dimension of the material, so that the material which does not meet the orientation requirement is identified.
The brush breaker mechanism 2 is located on the side of the directional sorter mechanism 12 remote from the discharge port 1111 of the feed rail 111. The individual materials broken up by the brush breaking-up mechanism 2 may be subjected to sorting by the direction sorting mechanism 12.
The brush breaking mechanism 2 includes a fixing bracket 21, a driving unit 22, and a brush 23. The specific structure of the fixing bracket 21 is set according to the type and size of the vibration plate 1. The driving unit 22 may be, for example, a cylinder or a motor, etc.
The fixing bracket 21 is provided for fixing the driving unit 22. The fixing of the drive unit 22 to the fixing bracket 21 may be achieved by bolting or the like.
The driving unit 22 is provided for driving the brush 23 to move to break up the materials stuck together on the feeding rail 111. After the brush 23 contacts the adhered materials, the bristles are dispersed around, so that the adhered materials are separated from each other, the materials are separated and dispersed, and the single materials can independently move towards the direction sorting mechanism 12.
The brush scattering mechanism 2 of the present disclosure can scatter materials adhered together so that individual materials separated from each other can be sorted in directions via the direction sorting mechanism 12 of the vibration tray 1, thereby achieving vibration directional feeding of viscous materials.
In order to improve the working efficiency of the brush scattering mechanism 2 and save energy, the brush scattering mechanism 2 can be further provided with an adhesion material detection unit. The adhered material detecting unit may detect whether the materials passing through the working area of the brush breaking mechanism 2 are adhered materials together. If the materials are adhered together, the brush 23 of the brush breaking mechanism 2 is moved to break up the materials. If the material is a single material, the brush 23 of the brush breaking mechanism 2 does not move.
Optionally, the distance between the brush break-up mechanism 2 and the outlet 1111 is less than or equal to 1/10 of the length of the feed rail 111. This arrangement helps to prevent the materials broken up by the brush breaking mechanism 2 from sticking together again. The distance between the brush breaking mechanism 2 and the discharge port 1111 means the length of the region of the feed rail 111 between the brush breaking mechanism 2 and the discharge port 1111 along the extending direction of the feed rail 111.
Optionally, the direction sorting mechanism 12 includes a blowing nozzle 121. The blowing nozzle 121 is provided for blowing the non-oriented material away from the area of the feed rail 111 between the brush break-up mechanism 2 and the discharge opening 1111. The material can be blown by the blowing nozzle 121 onto the feed rail 111 on the side of the brush break-up mechanism 2 remote from the directional sorting mechanism 12, so that the blown-off material can be vibration-sorted again by the vibration plate 1.
Further, the direction sorting mechanism 12 further includes a direction-finding sensor unit 122. The direction-finding sensor unit 122 is configured to detect the manner in which the material is placed on the feed rail 111 to detect a material that does not meet the orientation requirement. The direction-finding sensor unit 122 may be, for example, a fiber-optic sensor or the like.
Taking materials with different light reflectivity on different surfaces as an example, the direction-finding sensor unit 122 can detect the light reflectivity of at least one surface of a single material, so as to detect whether each material is placed on the feeding track 111 with a consistent surface orientation, so as to determine whether each material meets the orientation requirement.
Optionally, the vibration plate 1 further comprises a height limiting mechanism 13. The height limiting mechanism 13 is located on the side of the brush breaking mechanism 2 remote from the discharge port 1111. The height limiting mechanism 13 is provided for controlling the height of the material such that the material entering the working area of the brush break-up mechanism 2 is a single layer of material. The provision of the height limiting mechanism 13 is advantageous in improving the working efficiency of the brush dispersing mechanism 2.
The height limiting mechanism 13 may be, for example, a height limiting plate. The distance between the height limiting plate and the feed rail 111 remains unchanged, and if there are materials stacked together through the height limiting plate, the height limiting plate can separate the materials stacked together or push the materials stacked together down. The height limiting mechanism 13 may also be, for example, a blowing nozzle. The blowing nozzle can blow open or blow down the stacked materials.
Optionally, the brush breaking mechanism 2 further comprises a turntable 24, a transmission shaft 25 and a hanging plate 26. The turntable 24 is arranged to be connected to a drive output of the drive unit 22, which may be by means of welding or screwing. The transmission shaft 25 is fixedly connected with the turntable 24, and the fixed connection between the transmission shaft and the turntable 24 can be realized by welding or bolting.
The hanging plate 26 is provided with a transmission groove (not shown in the figure). The drive shaft 25 is slidably engaged with the drive slot such that the drive shaft 25 can move the hanger plate 26 by engagement with the drive slot. The drive slot may be a generally helical slot. The brush 23 is mounted on the hanging plate 26. The brush 23 may be mounted by bolting or the like.
The fixed bracket 21 is provided with a sliding rail 211, and the hanging plate 26 is in sliding fit with the sliding rail 211. The driving unit 22 drives the rotary table 24 to perform a rotary motion, the rotary table 24 drives the transmission shaft 25 to perform a rotary motion, and the transmission shaft 25 pushes the hanging plate 26 to move along the sliding rail 211 through the transmission groove, so that the brush 23 moves. The brush 23 faces the material and applies force to the material, so that the adhered material can be broken up.
Further, the transmission shaft 25 is eccentrically fixed to the turntable 24. The eccentric fixing of the transmission shaft 25 is advantageous in improving the working efficiency of the driving unit 22.
Further, the brush breaking mechanism 2 further includes a slide bearing 27, and the transmission shaft 25 is slidably fitted with the transmission groove through the slide bearing 27. The provision of the sliding bearing 27 is advantageous in reducing friction between the drive shaft 25 and the link plate 26.
Further, the brush breaking mechanism 2 further includes a brush fixing bracket 28. The brush 23 is mounted on a brush fixing bracket 28, and the brush fixing bracket 28 is mounted on the hanging plate 26. The mounting of the brush 23 on the brush holder 28 and the mounting of the brush holder 28 on the hanger plate 26 may be any mounting that is convenient for disassembly, such as snap-fit mounting. The above-mentioned convenient mounting means of dismantling is favorable to changing different brushes 23 more conveniently according to the size and the kind of material to improve the work efficiency of mechanism 2 is broken up to the brush.
Further, the brush head of the brush 23 faces the feed rail 111. In this way, the brush head of the brush 23 is contacted with the material first, so that the scattering effect of the brush 23 can be improved.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the vibratory feeding device comprises a vibratory pan 1 and a brush break-up mechanism 2.
The vibratory pan 1 includes a hopper 11, a direction sorting mechanism 12, and a height limiting mechanism 13. The hopper 11 comprises a feed rail 111, the discharge rail 111 having a discharge opening 1111 for discharging. The direction sorting mechanism 12 includes a blowing nozzle 121 and a direction-finding sensor unit 122. The brush breaker mechanism 2 is located on the side of the directional sorter mechanism 12 remote from the discharge port 1111 of the feed rail 111. The height limiting mechanism 13 is located on the side of the brush breaking mechanism 2 remote from the discharge port 1111.
The brush breaking mechanism 2 includes a fixing bracket 21, a driving unit 22, a brush 23, a turntable 24, a transmission shaft 25, a hanging plate 26, a slide bearing 27, and a brush fixing bracket 28. The driving unit 22 is fixed to the fixing bracket 21. The turntable 24 is connected to the drive output of the drive unit. The transmission shaft 25 is eccentrically fixed to the turntable 24. The transmission shaft 25 is in sliding fit with a transmission groove of the hanging plate 26 through a sliding bearing 27. The hanging plate 26 is in sliding fit with the sliding rail 211 of the fixed bracket 21. The brush 23 is mounted on a brush fixing bracket 28, and the brush fixing bracket 28 is mounted on the hanging plate 26.
The brush breaking mechanism 2 is located on the feed rail 111 at a distance from the discharge opening 1111 equal to 1/10 of the length of the feed rail 111.
In use, viscous material moves along the feed rail 111. The stacked materials can be controlled to a single layer of material via the height limiting mechanism 13. When the adhered materials enter the working area of the brush scattering mechanism 2, the driving unit 22 drives the rotary table 24 to rotate, the rotary table 24 drives the transmission shaft 25 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 25 pushes the hanging plate 26 to move along the sliding rail 211 through the transmission groove, so that the brush 23 moves. After the brush 23 contacts the adhered materials, the brush hairs are dispersed to the periphery, so that the adhered materials are separated from each other, and the separation and dispersion of the materials are realized. The individual materials are independently moved toward the directional sorting mechanism 12. The direction-finding sensor unit 122 of the direction-sorting mechanism 12 detects the manner in which the material is placed on the feed rail 111. The materials which do not meet the orientation requirement are blown by the blowing nozzle 121 onto the feeding rail 111 on the side of the brush breaker mechanism 2 remote from the direction sorting mechanism 12, and the blown materials can be sorted again by vibration of the vibration disk 1.
