[0044] In order to further understand the features, technical means and specific purposes and functions of the present application, the present application is described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-13 the present application provides:

[0046] A directional feeding device for automobile disc brake pad, comprising a first belt conveyor 1 and a second belt conveyor 2 and a transfer table 3 arranged between the two, the direction in which the first belt conveyor 1 transports brake pads 8 is perpendicular to the direction in which the second belt conveyor 2 transports brake pads 8, further comprising a directional adjusting device 4 for adjusting the posture of the brake pads 8 during transportation, the directional adjusting device 4 comprises a first posture adjusting mechanism 4a arranged on the transfer table 3 for adjusting the surface orientation of the brake pads 8 and a second posture adjusting mechanism 4b arranged on the second belt conveyor 2 for adjusting the angle at which the brake pads 8 are placed, and a transferring mechanism 5 arranged on the transfer table 3 for pushing the brake pads 8 onto the second belt conveyor 2, and the first belt conveyor 1 and the second belt conveyor 2 are respectively provided with a first guiding mechanism 6 and a second guiding mechanism 7.

[0047] Based on the above embodiment, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to adjust the posture of the brake pad 8 during the conveying process. To this end, the present application places the brake pad 8 on the first belt conveyor 1, conveys the brake pad 8 through the first belt conveyor 1, and the brake pad 8 is conveyed towards the second belt conveyor 2. The brake pad 8 passes through the first material guiding mechanism 6 and is guided by the first material guiding mechanism 6 to the center of the transfer table 3. The length direction of the brake pad 8 is also parallel to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1. Then, the first posture adjusting mechanism 4a drives the brake pad 8 to move so that the side or end thereof faces a specified direction. The length direction of the brake pad 8 is adjusted to be perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1 under the adjustment of the first posture adjusting mechanism 4a. After the material moving mechanism 5 moves the brake pad 8 to the second belt conveyor 2, the brake pad 8 is conveyed through the second belt conveyor 2, and the length direction of the brake pad 8 is also parallel to the conveying direction of the second belt conveyor 2. The brake pad 8 passes through the second material guiding mechanism 7 and is guided by the second material guiding mechanism 7 to enter the second posture adjusting mechanism 4b. Then, the second posture adjusting mechanism 4b adjusts the posture of the brake pad 8 placed on the second belt conveyor 2. After the brake pad 8 is adjusted, the second posture adjusting mechanism 4b is away from the brake pad 8. Finally, the brake pad 8 is continuously conveyed in the specified posture.

[0048] Further, as shown in Figures 5-7

[0049] The first posture adjusting mechanism 4a comprises a rotating disc 4a1 rotatingly arranged on the top of the transfer table 3. The transfer table 3 has a circular opening for the rotating disc 4a1 to rotate. The bottom surface of the rotating disc 4a1 is fixed with a supporting base 4a2, and there is a gap between the supporting base 4a2 and the rotating disc 4a1. The bottom of the supporting base 4a2 is further fixed with a rotating frame 4a3. The transfer table 3 is further provided with a rotating motor 4a4 for driving the rotating frame 4a3 to rotate. The rotating disc 4a1 is further provided with a suction member capable of sucking the brake pad 8.

[0050] Based on the above embodiment, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how the first posture adjusting mechanism 4a adjusts the orientation of the end or side of the brake pad 8. To this end, the present application conveys the brake pad 8 to the transfer table 3 through the first belt conveyor 1, and the brake pad 8 is in the center of the rotating disc 4a1. The suction member on the rotating disc 4a1 sucks the brake pad 8. Then, the rotating motor 4a4 drives the rotating frame 4a3 to rotate. With the rotation of the rotating frame 4a3, the rotating disc 4a1 also rotates, so that the brake pad 8 on the rotating disc 4a1 is also adjusted in posture. Finally, the brake pad 8 is adjusted to a posture with the side facing the second belt conveyor 2, and the end or side of the brake pad 8 is adjusted to a posture with a specified orientation. ​

[0051] Further, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 7 or Figure 10 As shown:

[0052] The adsorption part is specifically the first electromagnet 4a5. A mounting opening is opened through the center of the turntable 4a1. The first electromagnet 4a5 is fixedly installed in the mounting opening. The transfer platform 3 is provided with a first controller 4a6 electrically connected to the first electromagnet 4a5. A roller 3a is also rotatably provided at the docking point between the top of the transfer platform 3 and the first belt conveyor 1. The transfer platform 3 is also provided with a drive motor 3b for driving the roller 3a to rotate. The rotation direction of the roller 3a is parallel to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1, and the transfer platform 3 is also provided with a camera 3c with its output end facing the roller 3a.

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, when the brake pad 8 is transported to the transfer platform 3 through the first belt conveyor 1, the brake pad 8 passes through the roller 3a. As the drive motor 3b drives the roller 3a to rotate, the brake pad 8 is gradually placed flat on the transfer platform 3. The brake pad 8 is also at the center position of the turntable 4a1. The first controller 4a6 energizes the first electromagnet 4a5, and the brake pad 8 is then adsorbed on the first electromagnet 4a5. Since the brake pad 8 is being transported through the roller 3a, the camera 3c observes the orientation of the end or side of the brake pad 8. Therefore, the rotation of the turntable 4a1 drives the brake pad 8 to adjust its posture, so that the brake pad 8 is finally transported by the second belt conveyor 2 in a specified posture.

[0054] Further, such as Figures 11-13 As shown:

[0055] The second posture adjustment mechanism 4b includes two semi-discs 4b1, which are coaxial and parallel to the planes of the two semi-discs 4b1. A passage opening for the brake pad 8 to enter is left between the two semi-discs 4b1. The two semi-discs 4b1 are fixedly connected by a fixed disk 4b2 and the fixed disk 4b2 is coaxial with the two semi-discs 4b1. A center column extends vertically upward from the top center of the fixed disk 4b2, and a bearing 4b3 is fixedly sleeved on the center column. A fixed frame 4b4 is fixedly provided on the side of the second belt conveyor 2, and a rotary lifter 4b5 connected to the bearing 4b3 is provided on the fixed frame 4b4 for driving the two semi-discs 4b1 to rotate and lift. A stopper 4b6 is also provided between the two semi-discs 4b1 near their edges.

[0056] Based on the above embodiment, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how the second posture adjusting mechanism 4b adjusts the posture of the brake pad 8 when placed. To this end, the present application continues to convey the brake pad 8 whose posture has been preliminarily adjusted by the second belt conveyor 2, and if the brake pad 8 needs to be placed on the second belt conveyor 2 in a specified posture, after the brake pad 8 passes through the second guide mechanism 7 into the passage between the two half-discs 4b1, the stopper 4b6 blocks the movement of the brake pad 8, and under the condition that the second belt conveyor 2 continues to work, the brake pad 8 cannot continue to move, then the rotating lifter 4b5 drives the two half-discs 4b1 to rotate along the axis thereof until the brake pad 8 is rotated to the specified posture, and finally the rotating lifter 4b5 drives the two half-discs 4b1 to rise away from the brake pad 8, so that the brake pad 8 continues to be conveyed by the second belt conveyor 2.

[0057] Further, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 :

[0058] The rotating lifter 4b5 comprises a lifting plate 4b51, a sleeve gear 4b52 and a driving gear 4b53, the lifting plate 4b51 is vertically movable on the fixed frame 4b4, one end of the lifting plate 4b51 is fixed on the outer ring of the bearing 4b3, the fixed frame 4b4 is provided with a lifting cylinder 4b54 for driving the lifting plate 4b51 to move, the sleeve gear 4b52 is fixedly sleeved on the two half-discs 4b1, the driving gear 4b53 is in meshing engagement with the sleeve gear 4b52, the driving gear 4b53 is rotatable on the lifting plate 4b51, and the lifting plate 4b51 is further provided with a gear motor 4b55 for driving the driving gear 4b53 to rotate.

[0059] Based on the above embodiment, when the rotating lifter 4b5 drives the two half-discs 4b1 to rotate and lift, the gear motor 4b55 drives the driving gear 4b53 to rotate, the sleeve gear 4b52 drives the two half-discs 4b1 to rotate under the driving of the driving gear 4b53, after the two half-discs 4b1 rotate, the brake pad 8 clamped between the two half-discs 4b1 is adjusted in posture, after the posture of the brake pad 8 is adjusted, the lifting cylinder 4b54 lifts the lifting plate 4b51 upward, so that the two half-discs 4b1 move away from the brake pad 8, and finally the brake pad 8 continues to be conveyed by the second belt conveyor 2.

[0060] Further, as shown in Figure 13 :

[0061] One of the two half-discs 4b1 is provided with a sensing point 4b11 at the middle point of the side edge, and the fixed frame 4b4 is further provided with a photoelectric sensor 4b41 which can cooperate with the sensing point 4b11.

[0062] Based on the above embodiment, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how the channel opening between the two half-discs 4b1 interfaces with the second material guiding mechanism 7. To this end, the present application senses the sensing point 4b11 through the photoelectric sensor 4b41, and when the two half-discs 4b1 are adjusted to the state where the channel opening thereof interfaces with the second material guiding mechanism 7, the photoelectric sensor 4b41 senses the sensing point 4b11, so that the gear motor 4b55 stops rotating the two half-discs 4b1, and the subsequent brake pad 8 can accurately enter between the two half-discs 4b1.

[0063] Further, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 :

[0064] The material moving mechanism 5 comprises a fixed strip 5a and a ventilation pipe 5b, the fixed strip 5a is fixedly arranged on the transfer table 3 below the roller 3a, the fixed strip 5a has a cavity for installing the ventilation pipe 5b, the fixed strip 5a is transversely fixedly arranged in the cavity of the fixed strip 5a, the axis direction of the ventilation pipe 5b is parallel to the axis direction of the roller 3a, and a plurality of air blowing pipes 5b1 are equidistantly arranged along the axis direction of the ventilation pipe 5b on one side of the ventilation pipe 5b facing the second belt conveyor 2. A gas pump 5c is arranged beside the transfer table 3, and the output end of the gas pump 5c is connected with the ventilation pipe 5b through a connecting pipe 5d. Two limiting plates 3d are symmetrically arranged on the top of the transfer table 3, and the symmetry plane of the two limiting plates 3d is the middle section of the roller 3a.

[0065] Based on the above embodiment, when the gas pump 5c inputs air into the ventilation pipe 5b along the connecting pipe 5d, the gas in the ventilation pipe 5b is blown out in the direction of the second belt conveyor 2 through the plurality of air blowing pipes 5b1. Since the side edge of the brake pad 8 faces the roller 3a, the blown air acts on the side edge of the brake pad 8 and pushes it towards the second belt conveyor 2. During the process of pushing the brake pad 8 onto the second belt conveyor 2, the brake pad 8 moves between the two limiting plates 3d and does not fall out of the transfer table 3.

[0066] Further, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 :

[0067] A plurality of balls 5e are installed on the rotating disc 4a1, and a columnar opening for installing the balls 5e is provided through the rotating disc 4a1. The surface of each ball 5e is partially protruded from the surface of the rotating disc 4a1. The upper surface of each ball 5e is limited on the rotating disc 4a1 by an upper limiting ring 4a11, and the lower surface of each ball 5e is also limited on the rotating disc 4a1 by a lower limiting ring 4a12. The ball 5e can rotate between the upper limiting ring and the lower limiting ring 4a12.

[0068] Based on the above embodiment, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to reduce the friction force generated when the brake pad 8 is moved on the transfer table 3. To this end, the present application is provided with the ball 5e, so that the brake pad 8 is placed on several balls 5e, and when the brake pad 8 is pushed by air pressure, the brake pad 8 can smoothly move towards the direction of the second belt conveyor 2, reducing the friction force with the transfer table 3, and finally the brake pad 8 can be stably moved to the second belt conveyor 2.

[0069] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 11 :

[0070] The position of the second belt conveyor 2 opposite to the material moving mechanism 5 is provided with a baffle 5f in the form of a strip mechanism, the length direction of the baffle 5f is perpendicular to the length direction of the limiting plate 3d, and the side of the second belt conveyor is fixedly provided with a support frame 5g, the baffle 5f can move on the support frame 5g towards the direction of the transfer table 3, the support frame 5g is further provided with a single-axis air cylinder 5h for driving the baffle 5f to move, and the surface of the baffle 5f is further provided with a second electromagnet 5f1, and the support frame 5g is further provided with a second controller 5g1 electrically connected with the second electromagnet 5f1.

[0071] Based on the above embodiment, when the brake pad 8 is pushed to contact the baffle 5f, the second controller 5g1 energizes the second electromagnet 5f1, which in turn adsorbs the brake pad 8, then the single-axis air cylinder 5h pulls the baffle 5f, so that the brake pad 8 is brought to the second belt conveyor 2.

[0072] Further, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 11 :

[0073] The first and second material guiding mechanisms 6 and 7 respectively include two first material guiding strips and two second material guiding strips, the two first material guiding strips are symmetrically arranged on the first belt conveyor 1, and a gap is left between the two first material guiding strips for the brake pad 8 to pass through, and each first material guiding strip further extends a first inclined strip 6b towards the side of the first belt conveyor 1 at the end away from the transfer table 3, the two second material guiding strips are symmetrically arranged on the second belt conveyor 2, a gap is left between the two second material guiding strips for the brake pad 8 to pass through and enter the passage opening between the two semicircular discs 4b1, and the second material guiding strip on the side close to the transfer table 3 of the two second material guiding strips is further provided with a second inclined strip 7b at the end away from the semicircular disc 4b1, and the end of the second inclined strip 7b extends obliquely to the side of the second belt conveyor 2.

[0074] Based on the above embodiment, when the brake pad 8 is conveyed along with the first belt conveyor 1, the brake pad 8 enters the two first guide strips along the edges of the first inclined strips 6b, and when the brake pad 8 reaches the transfer table 3, the brake pad 8 naturally reaches the center position of the rotating disc 4a1, and when the brake pad 8 is conveyed along with the second belt conveyor 2, the brake pad 8 enters the two second guide strips along the edges of the second inclined strips 7b, and since the gap between the two second guide strips is connected with the passage between the two semicircular discs 4b1, the brake pad 8 can smoothly enter between the two semicircular discs 4b1.

[0075] The application adjusts the posture of the brake pad 8 during transportation through the first posture adjusting mechanism 4a and the second posture adjusting mechanism 4b, so that the brake pad 8 is transported in a specified posture, avoids affecting the subsequent processing of the brake pad 8, does not need to be adjusted by a mechanical hand or manually, and improves the transportation efficiency of the brake pad 8.
