Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of casting processing, and in particular to a casting transmission device based on gravity. Background Art

[0002] In the existing casting production, there are mainly the following two problems

[0003] 1. There is no standard for the placement of on-site materials, which is rather chaotic. This is mainly because there are often waits in the production process, resulting in some materials being stacked on-site, and blanks, finished products, waste materials, and semi-finished products are often mixed together. The materials are not classified and stored in different areas. Therefore, the on-site environment is rather chaotic, which increases the time for finding materials, and it is easy to have part collisions, and the finished products are easily damaged, seriously affecting the quality.

[0004] 2. The production method is backward, the production cycle is long, and there is a large amount of product inventory, which cannot meet the

[0005] personalized production requirements of multi-variety and small-batch.

[0006] With the development of technology, some handling devices have emerged. However, these devices consume a large amount of electric energy during the handling process, which means that for casting manufacturers with a large demand for energy, these handling devices require additional handling labor during transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides a casting transmission device based on gravity, which not only effectively solves the problem of material transportation between workstations. It not only does not require additional non-renewable energy, but also the products at each workstation can be effectively transmitted. At the same time, the operation is simple, preventing the stacking of materials.

[0008] A gravity-based casting transmission device, comprising a frame. An inclined first slideway and a second slideway are provided on the frame. The second slideway is arranged below the first slideway. The high-level side of the second slideway is arranged on the same side as the low-level side of the first slideway, and the low-level side of the second slideway is arranged on the same side as the high-level side of the second slideway. A processing section flipping platform is provided between the first slideway and the second slideway. The processing section flipping platform is located at the ends of the first slideway and the second slideway. An empty slider blocking rod is provided on the top of the processing section flipping platform. The processing section flipping platform is stretched at a certain angle by a tensioner. The slider moves downward along the first slideway under its own gravity to the processing section flipping platform. A manual flipping rod is connected to the processing section flipping platform and drives the processing section flipping platform to flip. When the processing section flipping platform inclines downward, the slider enters the second slideway under the action of gravity and moves downward along the second slideway to a lifting platform provided at the bottom of the second slideway. A slider blocking rod is provided at the end of the second slideway. The slider blocking rod applies a downward pulling force to the blocking rod through a tensioner. A slider blocking mechanism power rod is provided on one side of the lifting platform. A horizontal rod is provided below the slider blocking mechanism power rod and the slider blocking rod. The slider blocking mechanism power rod and the slider blocking rod are respectively arranged at both ends of the horizontal rod. The horizontal rod can rotate. In the natural state, the lifting platform descends and is connected to the second slideway. The slider blocking mechanism power rod applies a downward pressure to the horizontal rod and overcomes the pulling force of the tensioner, so that the other side of the horizontal rod drives the slider blocking rod to lift, so that the slider can smoothly pass through the slider blocking rod and enter the lifting platform. A lifting rod is provided on one side of the lifting platform. The lifting rod can slide relative to the vertical rod. One side of the lifting platform is connected to the lifting rod and can rotate along the lifting rod. The other side of the lifting platform is connected to the lifting rod through a tensioner. Under normal conditions, the angle between the lifting platform and the second slideway is basically the same, so that the slider on the second slideway can smoothly slide into the lifting platform. A lifting drive rod is provided below the lifting platform. The lifting drive rod is connected to the lifting platform through a transmission rod. When a downward pressure is applied to the lifting drive rod, the lifting platform is driven to move upward through the transmission rod, so as to drive the lifting platform, the slider in the lifting platform and the lifting rod to move upward. A pressure part is provided on the vertical rod above the lifting platform. After the lifting platform moves upward, the pressure rod of the lifting platform contacts the pressure part, and the pressure is continuously applied through the lifting drive rod. When the applied pressure is greater than the pulling force of the tensioner, the lifting platform rotates, and the lifting platform rotates from upward inclination to downward inclination, so that the slider slides from the lifting platform into the first slideway.

[0009] Further, the slider includes a slider body, a slider blocking block located at the top of the slider body, and a slider hook located at the bottom of the slider.

[0010] Further, the inclination angle of the slider blocking mechanism power rod with respect to the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0011] Further, the slider blocking mechanism power rod is perpendicular to the slider blocking rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the processing section flipping platform is arranged at the appearance inspection station, and the lifting platform is arranged at the packaging station.

[0013] Furthermore, the first slideway, the second slideway, the processing section flipping platform and the lifting platform are all provided with flow bars.

[0014] Adopting the technical solution of the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0015] The solution of the present invention does not require additional energy and completely relies on the gravity of the slider and the product for transmission, effectively solving the energy bottleneck of casting production enterprises.

[0016] The solution of the present invention places the casting product through the hook arranged under the slider. The sliders are arranged in sequence, making the transmission more orderly gradually, and collisions and stacking between castings will not occur, preventing problems such as scratches on the surface of the castings.

[0017] For the technical solution of the present invention, only need to place the casting on the hook, pull the manual flipping rod to transmit the product and the slider to the next station. After removing the casting, just step on the lifting rod to return the slider to the next station, and the operation is very simple.

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is all controlled by mechanical structures, and compared with the equipment relying on electronic products, its performance is more reliable. Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "head", "tail", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0030] In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] Meanwhile, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0032] A casting transmission device based on gravity includes a frame 2 and an expansion wheel 1 located below the frame. The frame 2 can move through the expansion wheel 1, and the frame 2 can be fixed at a required position through the brake member of the expansion wheel 1.

[0033] The frame 2 includes four longitudinal rods 29 and four cross rods 28. The longitudinal rods and cross rods form a cuboid. An inclined first slideway 21 and a second slideway 22 are arranged inside the frame. The high-position side of the second slideway 22 is arranged on the same side as the low-position side of the first slideway 21, and the low-position side of the second slideway 22 is arranged on the same side as the high-position side of the first slideway 21. The first slideway 21 and the second slideway 22 are both provided with flow strips. When the slider is placed on the first slideway 21 and the second slideway 22, it can move downward along the first slideway 21 and the second slideway 22 under the action of gravity.

[0034] A processing section flipping platform 23 is arranged between the first slideway 21 and the second slideway 22. The processing section flipping platform 23 includes a platform part 231 provided with a flow strip and an empty slider blocking rod 232 located at the top. The processing section flipping platform 23 is stretched upward by a tensioner. Under normal conditions, the inclination angle of the platform part 231 is basically the same as the inclination angle of the first slideway 21, so that the slider can smoothly move downward under the action of gravity to the platform part 231 of the processing section flipping platform 23. When there are multiple sliders on the first slideway 21, the frontmost slider moves to the flipping platform 23, and the subsequent sliders are arranged in sequence by abutting against the tail of the front slider. The length of the platform part 231 is less than or equal to the length of the slider 4, so that the subsequent sliders are blocked outside the flipping platform 23.

[0035] The processing section flipping platform 23 is connected to a manual flipping rod. After the material is set on the slider, pull the manual flipping rod by hand, and the processing section flipping platform 23 rotates downward against the tension of the tensioner 24, so that the processing section flipping platform 23 rotates from upward inclination to downward inclination. When the platform part 231 rotates to be inclined downward, the slider in the flipping platform 23 enters the second slideway 22 under the action of gravity and moves downward along the second slideway 22. During the flipping process of the flipping platform 23, the empty slider blocking rod 232 blocks the movement of the subsequent sliders. When the manual flipping rod is released, the processing section flipping platform 23 rotates upward under the action of the tensioner 24. When the bottom of the empty slider blocking rod 232 is higher than the upper surface of the subsequent slider, the second slider moves to the platform part 231 of the processing section flipping platform 23 under the action of gravity, thus realizing the operation of the next slider.

[0036] The slider includes a slider body 41, a slider blocking block 42 located at the top of the slider body, and a slider hook 43 located at the bottom of the slider. At the station corresponding to the turning platform 23 in the processing section, the casting is hung on the slider hook 43, and the casting can slide into the second slideway 22 along with the slider body 41. A lifting platform 5 is provided at the bottom of the second slideway 22, and a slider blocking rod 7 is provided at the end of the second slideway 22. A downward pulling force is applied to the blocking rod 7 through a puller. A slider blocking mechanism power rod 51 is provided on one side of the lifting platform. A horizontal rod is provided below the slider blocking mechanism power rod 51 and the slider blocking rod 7. The slider blocking mechanism power rod 51 and the slider blocking rod 7 are respectively arranged at both ends of the horizontal rod, and the horizontal rod can rotate. In the natural state, the lifting platform 5 descends and is connected to the second slideway 22. The slider blocking mechanism power rod 51 applies a downward pressure to the horizontal rod and overcomes the pulling force of the puller, so that the other side of the horizontal rod drives the lifting of the slider blocking rod 7, so that the slider blocking block 42 can smoothly pass through the slider blocking rod 7 and enter the lifting platform 5. When there are multiple sliders, the first slider enters the lifting platform, and the front parts of the subsequent sliders abut against the rear parts of the previous sliders and are arranged in sequence. The blocking block 42 of the second slider is located behind the slider blocking rod 7. After the operator removes the casting, the lifting platform 5 is lifted upward, and the slider blocking mechanism power rod 51 is lifted upward accordingly, so that the pressure on the slider blocking rod 7 disappears. The blocking rod 7 moves downward under the action of the puller and abuts against the slider blocking block 42 to block the movement of the slider. When the lifting platform descends, a pressure is applied to the horizontal rod again, and the slider blocking rod 7 moves upward and lifts, so that the slider blocking block 42 passes through the slider blocking rod 7. The operation of the next material is realized.

[0037] On one side of the lifting platform 5, there is a lifting rod 52. The two ends of the lifting rod are provided with clamping grooves for sliding connection. The lifting rod can slide relative to the longitudinal rod. One side of the lifting platform 5 is connected to the lifting rod 52 and can rotate along the lifting rod 52. The other side of the lifting platform is connected to the lifting rod through a tensioner. Under normal conditions, the angle between the lifting platform 5 and the second slideway is basically the same, so that the slider on the second slideway can smoothly slide into the lifting platform 5. Below the lifting platform, there is a lifting drive rod 53. The lifting drive rod 53 is connected to the lifting platform through a transmission rod. When a downward pressure is applied to the lifting drive rod, the lifting platform is driven upward through the transmission rod, thereby driving the lifting platform 5, the slider inside the lifting platform, and the lifting rod upward. The longitudinal rod is provided with a pressure part 6 above the lifting platform 5. After the lifting platform 5 moves upward, the pressure rod 55 of the lifting platform 5 contacts the pressure part. Continue to apply pressure through the lifting drive rod. When the applied pressure is greater than the tension of the tensioner, the lifting platform 5 rotates. The lifting platform 5 rotates from upward inclination to downward inclination, so that the slider slides from the lifting platform 5 into the first slideway 21. Thus, the circulation of the slider in the transmission device is realized. When the lifting drive rod is released, the lifting platform 5 moves downward under the action of gravity, and the lifting platform 5 returns to the upward inclined state under the action of the tensioner. When the lifting platform 5 descends to a certain position, the block blocking mechanism power rod 51 of the lifting platform 5 presses the horizontal rod downward, so that the slider blocking rod 7 is lifted upward, and the next slider smoothly moves towards the lifting platform 5 through the slider blocking rod 7.

[0038] The processing section flipping platform 23 is arranged at the production station, and the lifting platform 5 is arranged at the appearance inspection station. After the production is completed, hang the part on the hook 43, pull the manual flipping rod, and the part can be transported to the appearance inspection station under the action of gravity through the slider. Remove the part at the appearance inspection station, and press the lifting drive rod to transfer the slider to the second slideway, and then transfer it to the processing station through the second slideway, thereby realizing the slider transfer based on gravity.

[0039] The solution of this embodiment does not require additional energy and completely relies on the gravity of the slider and the product for transmission, effectively solving the energy bottleneck of casting production enterprises.

[0040] The solution of the present invention places the casting product through the hook arranged under the slider. The sliders are arranged in sequence, making it more orderly during the transmission process gradually. The castings will not collide and stack with each other, preventing problems such as scratches on the surface of the castings.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention only needs to hang the casting on the hook, pull the manual flipping rod to transfer the product and the slider to the next station. After removing the casting, just step on the lifting rod to return the slider to the next station, and the operation is very simple.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
