Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of roller manufacturing and processing technology, and in particular to an automatic roller finishing device and a roller finishing method having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Rollers are commonly used components in various fields. When rollers leave the factory, they usually need to be neatly arranged in rubber strips. The existing conveying method is to sort them by a sorting device and then transport the rollers through pipelines. The power source for pipeline conveying is usually the height difference and the weak thrust of the vibratory plate. Rollers are prone to getting blocked in the pipeline.

[0003] The rollers then need to be arranged in an orderly manner in the grooves of the rubber strip. Because the required arrangement accuracy is high, the rubber strip needs to be effectively positioned to avoid deviations in the position of the rubber strip that could cause the rollers to not be installed properly.

[0004] When installing rollers, if there is a significant height difference, traditional through-groove conveyors are prone to causing the rollers to overturn during their descent due to gravity or friction with the sidewalls of the conveyor trough, resulting in the rollers tilting as they fall. This can cause the rollers to get stuck in the conveyor trough. Summary of the Invention

[0038] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 12An automatic roller feeding device includes a worktable 10, a roller conveying device 20, a roller arranging device 30, and a roller sorting device 40. The roller sorting device 40 is located on one side of the worktable 10 and is used to sort scattered rollers. The roller conveying device 20 is located on the worktable 10 and connected to the roller sorting device 40, and is used to convey rollers. The roller arranging device 30 is located on the worktable 10 and connected to the roller conveying device 20. The roller arranging device 30 is used to push the rubber strip, causing the rollers to fall into the rubber strip in an orderly manner.

[0040] Understandably, the roller sorting device 40 collects and sorts the rollers, then outputs the sorted rollers to the roller conveyor device 20. The roller conveyor device 20 conveys the rollers, overcoming roller flipping that occurs during transport with significant height differences. Subsequently, the roller arranging device 30 automatically arranges the rollers on the rubber strip, avoiding errors, achieving full automation, and improving production efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 The roller sorting device 40 includes a frame 41, a hopper 42, a roller conveyor belt 43, and a vibratory feeder 44. The frame 41 is located on one side of the workbench 10. The hopper 42 is mounted on the frame 41. The roller conveyor belt 43 is mounted on the frame 41 and located at the output end of the hopper 42. The vibratory feeder 44 is mounted on the frame 41 and located below the roller conveyor belt 43. The output end of the vibratory feeder 44 is connected to the roller conveyor device 20.

[0042] Understandably, the hopper 42 reduces the precision requirements for roller feeding, lowers the feeding difficulty, and thus improves feeding efficiency. The roller conveyor belt 43 can transport the rollers directly above the feed inlet of the vibratory feeder 44.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 The roller conveyor belt 43 is also equipped with a guard plate 431, which is connected to the output end of the collecting hopper 42.

[0044] It is worth noting that in some embodiments of the present invention, the roller conveyor belt 43 is also provided with a guard plate 431, which can effectively prevent the roller from rolling off the side of the roller conveyor belt 43.

[0045] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The roller arrangement device 30 includes a rubber strip feeding assembly 31 and a rubber strip positioning assembly 32. The rubber strip feeding assembly 31 is movably mounted on the worktable 10 and is used to push the rubber strip. The rubber strip positioning assembly 32 is mounted on the worktable 10 and connected to the rubber strip feeding assembly 31. The rubber strip positioning assembly 32 is located below the roller conveyor 20.

[0046] Reference Figure 4The adhesive strip feeding assembly 31 includes a fixed frame slide rail 311, an adhesive strip fixing frame 312, an adhesive strip hook 313, and an adhesive strip baffle 314. The fixed frame slide rail 311 is mounted on the worktable 10. The adhesive strip fixing frame 312 is slidably mounted on the fixed frame slide rail 311. The adhesive strips are stacked within the adhesive strip fixing frame 312. The adhesive strip hook 313 is slidably mounted on the worktable 10. The adhesive strip hook 313 can drive the stacked adhesive strips to move. The adhesive strip baffle 314 is located between the adhesive strip feeding assembly 31 and the adhesive strip positioning assembly 32. The adhesive strip baffle 314 has an adhesive strip passage groove 314a, through which only one adhesive strip can pass at a time.

[0047] Understandably, the adhesive strip holder 312 can fix the stacked adhesive strips in the designed position. Then, driven by the drive device, the adhesive strip hook 313 can move the stacked adhesive strips toward the adhesive strip baffle 314. At this time, the bottom adhesive strip passes through the adhesive strip passage groove 314a under the action of the adhesive strip hook 313, while the other adhesive strips fall down. After passing through the adhesive strip passage groove 314a under the action of the adhesive strip hook 313, the adhesive strips enter the adhesive strip positioning assembly 32.

[0048] Reference Figures 6 to 9 The adhesive strip positioning assembly 32 includes a mounting frame 321 and an adhesive strip positioning mechanism 322. The mounting frame 321 is mounted on the worktable 10. A roller conveying device 20 is mounted on the mounting frame 321. The adhesive strip can slide freely within the mounting frame 321. The adhesive strip positioning mechanism 322 is mounted on the mounting frame 321. The adhesive strip positioning mechanism 322 can push the adhesive strip to adhere to one side of the mounting frame 321. The adhesive strip positioning mechanism 322 includes an adhesive strip positioning block 322a and an elastic element 322b. The adhesive strip positioning block 322a is mounted on the mounting frame 321. The elastic element 322b is disposed between the mounting frame 321 and the adhesive strip positioning block 322a.

[0049] Understandably, the adhesive strip positioning mechanism 322 can push the adhesive strip positioning block 322a through the elastic element 322b, so that the adhesive strip is tightly attached to one side of the mounting bracket 321. This fixes the relative position of the adhesive strip, thereby avoiding the impact of adhesive strip position deviation.

[0050] Reference Figures 6 to 11 The roller conveying device 20 includes a base 21 and a roller conveying pipe 22. A conveying groove 211 is formed on the base 21. The roller conveying pipe 22 is located on one side of the base 21. The roller conveying pipe 22 communicates with the conveying groove 211. The conveying groove 211 is zigzag-shaped.

[0051] Understandably, the rollers continuously pass through the roller conveyor pipe 22 into the zigzag-shaped conveyor trough 211, and then roll downwards along the conveyor trough 211. Due to the zigzag structure of the conveyor trough 211, the rollers cannot deflect in the vertical plane and can only roll within the conveyor trough 211. During this rolling motion, the roller axis remains horizontal. This avoids the roller deflection issues common in traditional transmission conveying methods, thus improving conveying efficiency.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 The roller finishing device 40 also includes an air blowing device 45, which is located at the output end of the vibratory plate 44 and is used to drive the terminal movement.

[0053] It is worth noting that in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to ensure that the roller is smoothly conveyed in the roller conveying pipe 22, an air blowing device 45 is provided at the output end of the vibratory plate 44, that is, the input end of the roller conveying pipe 22, to increase the thrust of the roller conveying and thus prevent the roller from being blocked in the roller conveying pipe 22.

[0054] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The base 21 includes a first side plate 212, a second side plate 213, and a top plate 214. The first side plate 212, the second side plate 213, and the top plate 214 form a conveying trough 211. The first side plate 212, the second side plate 213, and the top plate 214 are all detachably connected.

[0055] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the conveying groove 211 is formed by the first side plate 212, the second side plate 213 and the top plate 214, so that the processing method of the zigzag conveying groove 211 can be changed to milling the plane of the first side plate 212 and the second side plate 213, avoiding the processing of long grooves that are complex and have a large depth, and reducing the processing difficulty.

[0056] It is worth noting that in some embodiments of the present invention, a weight-reducing groove 215 is provided on the first side plate 212 and / or the second side plate 213. The weight-reducing groove 215 is used to reduce the weight of the conveyor belt and facilitate the observation of the roller conveying situation. By providing the weight-reducing groove 215, the mass of the base 21 can be reduced, thereby facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance, and the conveying situation can also be observed through the weight-reducing groove 215.
