Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of material receiving equipment, and in particular to a material receiving mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The raw materials of the long U-tubes used in heat exchangers are copper tubes or aluminum tubes. After being bent and formed, the copper tubes or aluminum tubes need to go through multiple processes such as shaping and pipe threading. The connection between each process requires the long U-tubes to be transported from one machine to another through a pipe conveying mechanism. After the previous bending process is completed, the long U-tubes are collected by the pipe conveying mechanism and then transferred to the feeding table of the next process.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN 101397087 A discloses a receiving mechanism for conveying pipe fittings, which includes a conveyor belt mounted on a bracket and a motor driving the conveyor belt to rotate. A receiving rack that can move up and down and can deliver pipe fittings to the conveyor belt is provided on one side of the conveyor belt. The upper end of the receiving rack is provided with a plurality of clamping positions for placing pipe fittings, and a cylinder is provided below the receiving rack to push it to move. The receiving clamping positions at the upper end of the receiving rack allow pipe fittings to be smoothly and impact-freely conveyed into their respective corresponding receiving slots during material receiving. The cylinder pushes the receiving rack to move downward, and the pipe fittings fall on the running conveyor belt and move forward with the conveyor belt. When they move to the end of the conveyor belt, they fall into the storage slot placed at the end of the conveyor belt.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned receiving mechanism for conveying pipe fittings has the following disadvantages: (1) The multiple positions for placing pipe fittings arranged on the upper end of the receiving rack are fixed, that is, the receiving trough is fixed. In specific work, in the previous copper tube bending process, the long U-tubes are arranged sparsely in the horizontal direction, and the receiving trough corresponds to the pipe fittings one by one, so the arrangement of the receiving trough is also sparse. In the latter process, the spacing between the long U-tubes is different from the spacing between the long U-tubes in the former process. Therefore, the spacing between the receiving troughs of the front and rear processes is also different. In this way, the front and rear processes cannot be well connected. The current solution to this problem is usually to manually transfer the workpiece to achieve the connection between the front and rear processes. Not only is the workload large, the labor cost is high, and it is easy to make mistakes, but also the work efficiency is low, which is not suitable for mass production. (2) In the prior art receiving mechanism for conveying pipe fittings, the receiving rack moves downward and places the pipe fittings directly on the running conveyor belt. Placing the pipe fittings on the conveyor belt requires a process, and the conveyor belt is always running. Therefore, the pipe fittings transferred on the conveyor belt cannot be arranged very neatly and are prone to scattering or even falling. (3) The existing receiving mechanism of this type places the pipe fittings directly on the conveyor belt. After being conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt, the pipe fittings fall into the storage trough placed at the end of the conveyor belt. In the actual process flow, the pipe fittings need to be processed in the next process. After the existing receiving structure loads the pipe fittings into the storage trough, the previous and next processes cannot be smoothly connected. The pipe fittings need to be manually stacked on the feeding table of the next process, which not only has a large workload, but also seriously affects the processing efficiency.

[0029] Below, the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 1 to 4The first embodiment of the material receiving mechanism is disclosed. The material receiving mechanism includes a first support frame 21, and a first material receiving unit 3 and a second material receiving unit 5. The first support frame 21 is provided with a first platform 211. The first material receiving unit 3 and the second material receiving unit 5 are arranged side by side on the first platform 211 of the first support frame 21. It includes a first adjusting component, a first driving component and at least two first material receiving troughs 34. The spacing between the first material receiving troughs 34 can be adjusted by the first adjusting component. The first driving component can drive the first material receiving trough 34 and the first adjusting component to move along the Z-axis direction relative to the first support frame 21. The Z-axis movement in this embodiment is also the up and down movement relative to the first support frame 21. The second material receiving unit 5 includes a second driving component and a second material receiving trough 54. The second material receiving trough 54 is located on the second driving component. The second material receiving trough 54 is driven by the second driving component and can move along the Y-axis direction relative to the first support frame 21. In this embodiment, it can move along the Y-axis direction relative to the first support frame 21, that is, move forward and backward relative to the first support frame 21; when the first material receiving trough 34 moves to a height equivalent to that of the second material receiving trough 54 and a corresponding position, the workpiece 9 can be switched between the first material receiving trough 34 and the second material receiving trough 54. When the present invention is in use, the first material receiving trough 34 is driven by the first driving component to move upward along the Z-axis direction. After the workpiece 9 falls into the first material receiving trough 34, the first driving component then drives the first material receiving trough to move downward along the Z-axis direction. When the first material receiving trough 34 moves to a height equivalent to and a position corresponding to the second material receiving trough 54, the first material receiving trough 34 can, under the action of the first adjusting component, adjust the spacing between the first material receiving troughs 34, so that the spacing between the first material receiving troughs 34 corresponds to the spacing between the second material receiving troughs 54, and then the workpiece 9 can be transferred from the first material receiving trough 34 to the second material receiving trough 54. The spacing between the first material receiving troughs 34 in the present invention is adjustable, so that the transfer between workpieces 9 with different discharge spacings can be achieved, which eliminates the trouble of manual placement and can directly achieve transfer, so that the various processes with different placement spacings between workpieces can also be smoothly connected, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing workload; and a second material receiving trough 54 is set in the present invention. Compared with the prior art, the present invention makes the workpieces 9 on the second drive assembly more neatly arranged and placed more stably, and can connect the second material receiving trough 54 with the subsequent process, so that more processes 9 can be smoothly connected.

[0031] In the present invention, specifically, the first adjustment component includes a first mounting plate 39, a first slide rail 31, a first connecting rod 33, at least two first sliders 32, and a first power source 35, which are arranged on the first driving component. The first power source 35 is a cylinder. Of course, it can also be other power sources, which are not limited here. Two adjacent first material receiving troughs 34 are connected by the first connecting rod 33 and can move along the first connecting rod 33. Each of the first material receiving troughs 34 is correspondingly provided with a first slider 32. The first slider 32 can slide on the first slide rail 31. The first slide rail 31 is installed on the first mounting plate 39. The first power source 35 drives the first material receiving troughs 34 to move so as to adjust the distance between the first material receiving troughs 34. In this embodiment, specifically, there are 8 sliders 32 and 8 first material receiving grooves 34, 7 first connecting rods 33, and the first mounting plate 39 is L-shaped. Two adjacent first material receiving grooves 34 are connected by the first connecting rod 33 and the two first material receiving grooves 34 can move along the first connecting rod 33, thereby opening or closing the distance between the two first material receiving grooves 34. In the present invention, both ends of each first connecting rod 33 are respectively provided with limiting protrusions 331, and the two limiting protrusions 331 limit the two first material receiving grooves 34 on the first connecting rod 3 on the connecting rod 3, so that the two first material receiving grooves 34 can move on the connecting rod 33 without sliding out of the first connecting rod 33. In the present invention, the limiting protrusions 331 can be integrally formed with the first connecting rod 33, or can be independently set. In this embodiment, the limiting protrusions 331 are independently set, that is, nuts are screwed on both ends of the first connecting rod 331. In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 39 is L-shaped, and the vertical baffle 391 end of the L-shaped first mounting plate 39 is defined as the tail end, and the other end of the first mounting plate 39 is defined as the head end. The vertical baffle 391 is used to limit the position of the first slider 32, so that the outermost first material receiving groove 34 at the tail end remains on the first slide rail 31 without sliding out of the first slide rail 31. The first slide rail 31 is installed on the first mounting plate 39, and the piston rod 352 of the cylinder is connected to the outermost first material receiving groove 34 at the head end through the connecting plate 353.

[0032] The first adjusting assembly of the present invention works as follows when adjusting the spacing of the first material receiving groove 34: the cylinder works, the piston rod 352 comes out of the cylinder barrel 351, thereby pushing the connecting plate 353 to move toward the head end. Since the connecting plate 353 is connected to the outermost first material receiving groove 34 at the head end, the first material receiving groove 34 is driven to move on the first connecting rod 33. At the same time, the first slider 32 on the first material receiving groove 34 also slides along the first slide rail 31. Figure 3In the direction shown by B in the figure, the first receiving troughs 34 are spread apart from each other, and the spacing between the first receiving troughs 34 is pulled apart until the maximum spacing is reached. At this time, it can correspond to the collection and release of materials in the process where the distance between the workpieces is large. When it is necessary to collect and release materials in the process where the distance between the workpieces is small, it is necessary to reduce the spacing between the first receiving troughs 34, so that the piston rod 352 of the cylinder is retracted, thereby pulling all the first receiving troughs 34 to move along the first connecting rod 33, and at the same time, the first slider 32 of the first receiving trough 34 also slides along the first slide rail 31, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 In the direction shown by A in the figure, the movement in this direction is that all the first receiving troughs 34 are retracted and brought together, and the spacing between the first receiving troughs 34 is reduced. The present invention can adjust the spacing between the first receiving troughs 34. The minimum spacing between the first receiving troughs 34 is that the first receiving troughs 34 are close to each other, and the maximum spacing is that the piston rod 352 is completely pushed out and all the first receiving troughs 34 are pulled apart. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can be applied to the situation where the spacing between the workpieces in the front and rear processes is different. It has a wider range of applications and is easy to use. It can achieve a smoother connection between the workpieces in adjacent processes and can effectively improve work efficiency. The position of the first receiving trough 34 in the present invention can be adjusted, that is, the spacing between the first receiving troughs 34 can be adjusted, which is conducive to improving work efficiency. Compared with the fixed receiving trough in the prior art, the present invention has a smaller volume. In addition, in the present invention, when the workpiece falls into the first receiving trough 34, it will automatically be placed in a balanced state. For example, when the long U-shaped tube falls into the first receiving trough 34, the long U-shaped tube is in a sideways state, which is an unbalanced state. Subsequently, the long U-shaped tube will automatically fall down, so that the area of ​​contact between the long U-shaped tube and the bottom is the largest, and it is completely flat. At this time, it is the most balanced and stable state, and the risk of the workpiece falling is greatly reduced.

When the first mounting plate 39 and the second mounting plate 49 rise to the predetermined position, the first receiving trough 34 and the third receiving trough 44 jointly receive the workpiece 9 (such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown), at this time, the first material receiving trough 34 and the third material receiving trough 44 corresponding to each two positions jointly receive the same workpiece 9, that is, unloading, and the distance between the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 is adjusted to the most suitable position according to the length of different workpieces 9. When the workpieces 9 are transferred to the first material receiving trough 34 and the third material receiving trough 44, the third power source 37 and the fourth power source 47 work at this time, so that the first mounting plate 39 and the second mounting plate 49 are lowered to the positions corresponding to the second material receiving trough 54 on the second material receiving unit 5 and the fourth material receiving trough 64 on the fourth material receiving unit 6, and the workpieces 9 are placed on the second material receiving trough 54 and the fourth material receiving trough 64 accordingly (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 2 ), the first receiving trough 34 and the third receiving trough 44 continue to descend under the action of the third power source 37 and the fourth power source 47, and the workpiece 9 is successfully transferred from the first receiving trough 34 and the third receiving trough 44 to the second receiving trough 54 and the fourth receiving trough 64 (as shown in FIG. 2 ). Fig.11As shown). At this time, the first synchronous wheel group 51 and the second synchronous wheel group 61 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the first synchronous belt 52 and the second synchronous belt 62 to move, and the first feeding arm 53 and the second receiving trough 54 located on the first synchronous belt 52, and the second feeding arm 63 and the fourth receiving trough 64 located on the second synchronous belt 62 move synchronously with the synchronous belt. At the same time, the third slider 55 slides on the second slide rail 56, and the fourth slider 65 slides on the third slide rail 66, so as to realize the feeding of the workpiece 9 on the second receiving trough 54 and the fourth receiving trough 64 to the next process along the Y-axis direction, thereby realizing the successful loading and unloading of the workpiece 9. In the present invention, from receiving the workpiece 9 from the previous process, that is, the unloading process, to transferring it to the next process, that is, the loading process, the whole process does not require manual operation, and the loading and unloading is automatic and orderly. Moreover, by adjusting the positions of the first receiving trough 34 and the third receiving trough 44, the present invention can be applied to the smooth connection between processes with different workpiece placement spacings, eliminating the need for manual arrangement and stacking.

[0042] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned conveying process, the present invention can also convey in the reverse direction, that is, the second material receiving unit 5 and the fourth material receiving unit 6 take over the workpiece 9 from the previous process, that is, the unloading process, and then transfer the workpiece 9 to the first material receiving unit 3 and the third material receiving unit 4, and the first material receiving unit 3 and the third material receiving unit 4 output it, that is, the loading process. The specific process is the reverse process of the above-mentioned conveying process, and will not be repeated here one by one.

[0043] In addition, in the present invention, the second material receiving trough 54 and the fourth material receiving trough 64 are used to jointly accommodate the same workpiece 9, and the first synchronous wheel group 51 and the second synchronous wheel group 61 can also be driven by the fifth power source and the sixth power source (not visible in the figure), respectively. When the fifth power source and the sixth power source are working, the first synchronous wheel group 51 and the second synchronous wheel group 61 rotate, thereby driving the first synchronous belt 52 and the second synchronous belt 62 to move, and the first feeding arm 53 and the second material receiving trough 54 located on the first synchronous belt 52, and the second feeding arm 63 and the fourth material receiving trough 64 located on the second synchronous belt 62 move synchronously with the synchronous belt. At the same time, the third slider 55 slides on the second slide rail 56, and the fourth slider 65 slides on the third slide rail 66, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the workpiece 9 on the second material receiving trough 54 and the fourth material receiving trough 64 along the Y-axis direction.
