Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of retaining ring processing related equipment, and in particular to a retaining ring automatic shaking material sorting device. Background Art

[0002] Retaining rings, also known as circlips, are divided into retaining rings for holes and retaining rings for shafts. They play an axial limiting role and can prevent other parts from axial movement. Retaining rings are generally an annular structure with an opening, which is made by stamping.

[0003] After the processed retaining ring is processed into an opening structure, further processing is required, and the opening structure processed by the punching machine is relatively messy. Before the next step of processing, the retaining ring with the opening structure needs to be arranged so that it is coaxial and the opening structure is completely opposite.

[0004] In the prior art, the retaining rings of the plurality of opening structures are generally manually arranged to be coaxial and to make the openings thereof vertically opposite to each other, thereby increasing the labor intensity of the staff and the manual arrangement and processing efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes an automatic material shaking and sorting device for retaining rings.

[0006] The present invention provides a retaining ring automatic shaking material arrangement device, comprising a frame, a vibration frame, a driving mechanism and a sleeve shaft, wherein:

[0007] The vibration frame is horizontally slidably mounted on the frame, and the driving mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the vibration frame to reciprocate horizontally; specifically, the driving mechanism may be a mechanism in the prior art that can drive the vibration frame to reciprocate horizontally relative to the frame, and may be an electric cylinder, or a screw slider mechanism, or other motors and transmission mechanisms combined to realize a mechanism that can drive the vibration frame to reciprocate horizontally;

[0008] The axis of the sleeve shaft is smaller than the retaining ring, the sleeve shaft is installed on the vibration frame, and the outer side wall of the sleeve shaft has a clamping protrusion along the axis direction thereof, and the clamping protrusion is used to clamp the opening of the retaining ring;

[0009] The vibration frame or the sleeve shaft is provided with a limiting structure, and the limiting structure is used to prevent the retaining ring sleeved on the sleeve shaft from sliding off the sleeve shaft;

[0010] When the sleeve shaft is fully covered with retaining rings, the retaining rings are installed through the limiting structure to prevent them from being separated from the sleeve shaft. The limiting structure can be detachably installed on the sleeve shaft or the vibration frame. If the limiting structure is detachably installed on the sleeve shaft, it can be a retaining ring fixed on the sleeve shaft by a clamping or fixing piece or threaded manner, or it can be a baffle detachably installed on the vibration frame;

[0011] A plurality of retaining rings are sleeved on the sleeve shaft, and then the cylinder limiting structure limits the retaining rings on the sleeve shaft to prevent them from sliding out of the sleeve shaft. Then the vibration frame reciprocates horizontally relative to the frame, thereby causing the retaining rings to rotate or shake relative to the sleeve shaft so that the openings on the retaining rings are clamped on the clamping protrusions, so that the openings of the plurality of retaining rings on the sleeve shaft are all clamped on the clamping protrusions so that the openings of the retaining rings are relative to each other and the plurality of retaining rings are coaxial, thereby realizing the arrangement of the retaining rings, and then placing the arranged retaining rings in the feeding trough on the automatic punching machine equipment.

[0012] In order to increase work efficiency and prevent the retaining ring on the sleeve shaft from detaching from the sleeve shaft, as a further optimized solution of the present invention, the direction in which the vibration frame moves horizontally relative to the frame is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve shaft.

[0013] In order to increase work efficiency, as a further optimized solution of the present invention, at least two sleeve shafts are provided, and the axes of at least two sleeve shafts are parallel to each other.

[0014] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a transverse sliding shaft is provided on the frame, and a sliding hole is opened on the vibration frame. The sliding hole matches the sliding shaft, thereby facilitating the limiting of the vibration direction of the vibration frame.

[0015] In order to further enable the retaining ring opening to be clamped on the clamping protrusion and increase working efficiency, as a further optimized solution of the present invention, when the axis of the sleeve shaft is horizontal with respect to the vibration frame, the clamping protrusion is at the top of the sleeve shaft.

[0016] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the width of the clamping protrusion gradually widens from the side away from the axis of the sleeve shaft to the side close to the axis of the sleeve shaft, and the widest position of the clamping protrusion is larger than the opening of the retaining ring, and the narrowest part of the clamping protrusion is smaller than the opening of the retaining ring, thereby facilitating the retaining ring opening to be clamped into the clamping protrusion.

[0017] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it also includes a rotating seat, which is laterally rotatably installed on the vibration frame, and the sleeve shaft is fixed on the rotating seat. The rotating seat is rotated to make the axis of the sleeve shaft vertical or horizontal, which is convenient for loading the retaining ring on the one hand and for removing the arranged retaining ring on the other hand.

[0018] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, it also includes a locking piece, which is detachably installed between the vibration frame and the rotating seat. The locking piece is used to fix the rotating seat relative to the vibration frame. The locking piece can be a stud fixing pin in the prior art.

[0019] As a further optimized solution of the present invention, the limiting structure is a limiting plate, which is installed at one end of the vibration frame away from the rotating seat. The limiting plate is used to limit the retaining ring on the set shaft placed horizontally relative to the vibration frame to prevent the retaining ring on the set shaft from slipping off the set shaft during vibration.

[0020] Specifically, the limit plate can be detachably installed on the vibration frame, and a support hole is opened on the limit plate. The set shaft passes through the support hole horizontally relative to the vibration frame. By removing the limit plate, the limit plate is moved away from the set shaft and the set shaft is separated from the support hole, which makes it easier to rotate the rotating seat to make the set shaft vertical. As a further optimized solution of the present invention, a slot is opened on the limit plate, and the slot matches the set shaft, thereby making the structure simpler and the operation easier.

[0021] In the present invention, the automatic shaking and arranging device for retaining rings proposed has a simple structure, is convenient for shaking and arranging retaining rings, increases work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of relevant staff.

[0022] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The rotating seat 3 is installed on the mounting plate 23 of the vibration frame 2 for transverse rotation. Specifically, an open groove is opened on the mounting plate 23. The rotating seat 3 is plate-shaped. The rotating seat 3 is rotatably installed in the open groove through a rotating shaft. The axis of rotation of the rotating seat 3 is parallel to the displacement of the vibration frame 2 moving horizontally relative to the frame 1. The rotating seat 3 also includes a locking member 12. The locking member 12 is a fixing pin. The locking member 12 is used to fix the rotating seat 3 on the vibration frame 2 to prevent the rotating seat 3 from rotating relative to the vibration frame 2.

[0036] The sleeve shaft 4 is fixed on the rotating seat 3, and the rotating seat 3 is rotated to make the axis of the sleeve shaft 4 vertical or horizontal;

[0037] Specifically, the rotating seat 3 has a mounting surface. When the mounting surface is the upper surface of the rotating seat 3, the sleeve shaft 4 is vertically fixed on the mounting surface. The rotating seat 3 is rotated so that the axis of the sleeve shaft 4 becomes horizontal.

[0038] Specifically, the axis of the sleeve shaft 4 is smaller than the retaining ring 13, and the outer side wall of the sleeve shaft 4 has a clamping protrusion 40 along the axis direction thereof, and the clamping protrusion 40 is used to clamp the opening of the retaining ring 13;

[0039] When the axis of the sleeve shaft 4 is horizontal with respect to the vibration frame 2, the clamping protrusion 40 is at the top of the sleeve shaft 4;

[0043] A clamping groove 220 is formed on the limiting plate 22 . When the axis of the sleeve shaft 4 is horizontal, the clamping groove 220 is used to support the end of the sleeve shaft 4 away from the rotating seat 3 .

[0044] When it is necessary to sort out the parts, first remove the locking piece 12 and rotate the rotating seat 3 so that the set shaft 4 is in the vertical direction, fix the locking piece 12, and put multiple retaining rings 13 on the set shaft 4 to make it basically full, then remove the locking piece 12 and rotate the rotating seat 3 so that the end of the set shaft 4 matches the card slot 220.

In this process, the retaining ring 13 will not rotate or slide relative to the retaining ring 13 due to the clamping of the clamping protrusion 40 and the opening of the retaining ring 13. Then, under the action of external force, the sorted stack of retaining rings 13 is taken out and placed in the feeding trough on the automatic punching equipment.
