Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an apparatus for aligning and feeding cylindrical or spherical objects such as rolling elements of bearings.

There are various types of conventional aligning and feeding devices for this kind of products, such as vibrating type feeders and non-vibrating type feeders, but these have problems such as causing damage to the fed products, insufficient feeding capacity, and noise generation. there were.

Therefore, this idea was made to solve problems such as power.

Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings in which the supplied article is a cylindrical roller.

An inclined surface 3 that descends from the entire periphery toward the center of the bottom of a container 2 that stores a cylindrical body 1 such as a cylindrical roller.
A through hole 4 is bored in the center bottom of the lowermost part, and the upper part of the guide tube 5 for guiding and conveying the cylindrical body 1 is fitted into the through hole 4 and plunged into the container 2. 5 is rotatably provided in a diagonal manner through bearings 7 and 1 to a bushket 6 fixed to the lower surface of the container 2, and furthermore, a gear 8 is fastened to the lower part with a bolt 9 and connected to a motor (not shown). to make it possible to rotate.

The upper part of the guide tube 5 that has entered the container 2 is cut out in half in the axial direction as shown in FIGS. 10 from a line segment perpendicular to the axis.

Further, the wall thickness of the upper part of the guide cylinder 5 is about one line, and especially when the supplied article is a cylindrical roller, the thickness of the upper part of the guide cylinder 5 is approximately one line.
The relationship between the diameter of the guide tube 5 and the soil part diameter is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and the cylindrical body 1 is inverted (the axis is The inner diameter of the guide tube 5 is adjusted so that when the columnar body 1 is placed horizontally, a part of the columnar body 1 protrudes from the guide tube 5 like a hatching, as shown in FIG. g) Set it to about 1mm.

In this way, the hatched portion of the cylindrical body 1 interferes with the cylindrical body inside the container 2, thereby increasing its normal posture and smoothly aligning and supplying the cylindrical body.

It is inappropriate to set the diameter so that the cylindrical body 1 only slightly protrudes from the guide tube 5 as shown in FIG. Blades 11 for agitating and moving the body 1 are fixed in the axial direction.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When the motor is driven to rotate the guide tube 5, the cylindrical body 1 whose axis is oriented in the same direction as the inclined surface 3 of the container 2 at the upper opening of the guide tube 5 falls into the guide tube 5 and is supplied.

On the other hand, since the cylindrical body 1 placed upside down on the inclined surface 10 protrudes from the guide tube 10 as shown in FIG. 5, it does not fall into the guide tube 5.

However, the container 2 accommodates a large number of cylindrical bodies 1.

As the guide cylinder 5 rotates, the inclined surface 10 and the soil columnar body 1 also rotate, and come into contact with another columnar body 1 at the bottom of the container 2, forcing them to change their posture so that they are in the same direction as the inclined surface 3. Guide tube 5
It falls inside and is aligned and supplied.

At this time, if the cylindrical body 1 does not protrude from the guide tube 5 as shown in FIG. 6, the posture of the cylindrical body 1 cannot be forcibly changed.

7 and 8 show the state in which the cylindrical bodies 1 are aligned and supplied to the guide tube 5. The upper cylindrical body 1 in FIG. 8 falls directly into the guide tube 5, but the lower circle As the columnar body 1 rotates, its posture is forcibly changed so that its axis faces in the same direction as the inclined surface of the container 2, and then it falls into the guide tube 5.

Additionally, the wing piece 11 is a cylindrical body 1 stagnant at the bottom of the container 2.
is moved to align and supply all the cylindrical bodies 1 into the guide tube 5.

This invention is an apparatus for arranging and supplying spherical or cylindrical articles as described above, which includes a fixed container having a bottom formed with an inclined surface descending toward the center and storing the supplied articles; The main structure is a rotatable oblique guide cylinder whose upper part fits into a through hole protruding from the bottom of the container and which protrudes into the container, and a surface that bisects the upper part of the guide cylinder in the axial direction; It relates to an article supplying device cut out with an obtuse-angled obtuse-angled obtuse-angled surface that crosses the axis and faces the above-mentioned surface, and the cylindrical body, etc. moves to the upper part of the guide cylinder along the inclined surface of the container,
The posture is forcibly aligned and automatically fed into the guide cylinder.

Moreover, since it is a non-vibration type feeder, and the cylindrical bodies are in close contact with each other and pressed together, there is no possibility of scratches and no noise is generated.

In addition, by cutting off the upper part of the guide tube and rotating the guide tube in an oblique manner as in the present invention, the effect of stirring the articles is enhanced and the effect of scooping up the articles is increased, so that the articles are reliably collected. It can be supplied into the guide cylinder.
