Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a bucket-feeding apparatus with bucket separation function, comprising: a bucket-infeed assembly that includes a guide bracket, and a bucket-separating assembly that includes a wheel unit and a power-source unit. The guide bracket is used to guide the conveying direction of buckets. The wheel unit is drivingly connected to the power-source unit, and the surface of the wheel unit is provided with a helical groove whose thread pitch gradually increases. The outer surface of the bucket body has a rim portion, the rim portion contacting the helical groove. When the wheel unit rotates, the bucket is driven and guided by the guide bracket, and because the thread pitch of the helical groove gradually increases, the spacing between adjacent buckets moving along the wheel unit gradually enlarges; the negative-pressure suction between stacked buckets is decomposed many times, thereby reducing the load required during separation.
