A rivet blanking module for a drag chain

Abstract

The present invention provides a rivet blanking module for a drag chain, which includes a workbench, a support table, a sliding table, a mounting frame, a guide block and a motor. The support table is installed on the workbench. The sliding table is slidably installed on the support table, and the sliding direction of the sliding table is perpendicular to the installation groove. The motor is connected to the sliding table for driving the sliding table. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the sliding table, and the guide block is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. Two through holes are formed on the guide block, and both of the two through holes are located directly above the installation groove, and the two through holes are arranged side by side at intervals along the length direction of the installation groove. The two through holes can enable two rivets to be blanked simultaneously. When the drag chain moves in the installation groove, the two rivets can simultaneously fall into two adjacent holes on the drag chain, which speeds up the installation rate of the rivets. After the rivets are in place for blanking, the motor drives the guide block to quickly move away from the rivet blanking position. During the forward movement of the drag chain, the guide block is driven by the motor to continue blanking at subsequent hole positions, and the whole process is convenient and fast.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tank chain assembly, and particularly relates to a rivet blanking module for a tank chain. Background Art

[0002] A tank chain is another name for a drag chain. The unit link of the tank chain is composed of left and right chain plates and upper and lower cover plates. Each unit link of the tank chain can be opened, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and there is no need to thread the wire.

[0003] During the production process of the tank chain, it is necessary to install rivets on the tank chain. On the current tank chain production line, when installing rivets on the tank chain, the movement of the tank chain is first stopped, and then the rivets are slid into the riveting holes of the tank chain. After the rivets are slid in, the production line continues to move, so that the tank chain moves forward to the position where the next riveting hole is aligned with the position where the rivets are slid in, and then new rivets are slid into a riveting hole of the tank chain. This method of installing rivets can reduce interference during the assembly process of the tank chain, but this installation method can only install one rivet at a time, and the production line must stop briefly during installation to avoid interference between the rivets and the tank chain, resulting in low efficiency of the entire production process.

After the rivets are in place for feeding, the motor drives the guiding block to quickly move away from the position where the rivets are fed, preventing the rivets from separating from the guiding block in a timely manner. At the same time, during the forward movement of the drag chain, the guiding block returns to its original position under the drive of the motor and continues to feed at the subsequent hole positions of the drag chain. The entire process of installing the rivets is convenient and fast. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
