Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, a continuous production device for carbon products is proposed in this embodiment, including a workbench 1. A turntable 11 is rotatably connected to the middle of the workbench 1, and a feeding mechanism 12, a drilling mechanism 13, a grooving mechanism 14, a threading mechanism 15, and a discharging mechanism 16 are installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The feeding mechanism 12, the drilling mechanism 13, the grooving mechanism 14, the threading mechanism 15, and the discharging mechanism 16 are arranged sequentially around the turntable 11. A plurality of clamps 2 and an adjustment mechanism 6 are installed on the turntable 11. The adjustment mechanism 6 is arranged correspondingly to the clamps 2. When the turntable 11 drives the clamps 2 to rotate, the adjustment mechanism 6 adjusts the posture of the clamps 2 so that the clamps 2 cooperate with the feeding mechanism 12, the drilling mechanism 13, the grooving mechanism 14, the threading mechanism 15, and the discharging mechanism 16.

[0037] It should be noted that the feeding mechanism 12 is used to place the carbon brush into the clamping part of the fixture 2, the drilling mechanism 13 is used to drill holes in the carbon brush, the grooving mechanism 14 is used to groove the corresponding end face of the carbon brush, the wire threading mechanism 15 is used to thread the copper wire into the hole drilled in the carbon brush and fix the copper wire on the carbon brush, and the unloading mechanism 16 is used to remove the carbon brush from the fixture 2. The feeding mechanism 12, drilling mechanism 13, grooving mechanism 14, wire threading mechanism 15 and unloading mechanism 16 all adopt existing technology.

[0038] It should be noted that the drilling mechanism 13 must be a drilling machine used for drilling carbon products;

[0039] In practical implementation, a driving component can be installed in the workbench 1. The driving component can be a motor and a reducer, with the output shaft of the reducer connected to the rotation shaft of the turntable 11.

[0040] Specifically, the clamp 2 includes a central shaft 21, which is fixed to the edge of the turntable 11 by a fixed seat 23. A fixed rod 22 is horizontally mounted on one end of the central shaft 21. The fixed rod 22 is perpendicular to the central shaft 21, and telescopic rods 24 are symmetrically mounted on the fixed rod 22. The telescopic rods 24 are located on the side of the fixed rod 22 away from the central shaft 21, and are horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the fixed rod 22. A connecting seat 25 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod 24 away from the fixed rod 22. A rotating shaft 26 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 25. The rotating shaft 26 is horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the telescopic rod 24. A gripper 27 is connected to the opposite end of the two rotating shafts 26.

[0041] It should be noted that the central shaft 21 is always fixed and is set along the radius of the turntable 11. It is connected to the gripper 27 through the telescopic rod 24. When the device is in use, the adjustment mechanism 6 can adjust the position of the gripper 27. The gripper 27 is used to clamp the carbon brush. It can be pneumatic or electromagnetic. There are no specific requirements for the model of the gripper 27. Just select the appropriate model according to the size of the carbon brush.

[0042] Specifically, the clamp 2 is also equipped with a first transmission mechanism that cooperates with the adjustment mechanism 6. The first transmission mechanism includes a support base 32 fixed to the telescopic section of the telescopic rod 24. A spur rack 33 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support base 32. A limiting groove is formed on the support base 32 along its own length direction. The length of the limiting groove is greater than the length of the spur rack 33. A push rod 35 is installed through one end of the support base 32. The push rod 35 is set along the length direction of the support base 32, and one end of the push rod 35 extends to the side of the fixed rod 22 away from the support base 32. A spur gear 34 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 26. The spur gear 34 cooperates with the spur rack 33. A stop block 352 is connected to the end of the push rod 35 away from the support base 32. A third spring 351 is sleeved on the end of the push rod 35 away from the support base 32. The two ends of the third spring 351 are in contact with the fixed rod 22 and the stop block 352, respectively.

[0043] It should be noted that the initial state of the rack 33 is at one end of the support base 32 near the fixed rod 22. In this position, the rack 33 meshes with the spur gear 34. However, when the rack 33 does not slide in the support base 32, the rack 33 restricts the spur gear 34 and keeps the position of the gripper 27 unchanged. In specific implementation, a bearing that restricts the position of the rotating shaft 26 can be set on the connecting base 25.

[0044] The spur rack 33 slides in the support base 32, driving the spur gear 34 to rotate. When the spur rack 33 slides to the limit position, the spur rack 33 drives the support base 32 to move as a whole, so that the gripper 27 can extend and facilitate the corresponding processing of the carbon brush.

[0045] Specifically, the clamp 2 is also equipped with a second transmission mechanism, which includes a small shaft 4 that passes through the central shaft 21. The end of the small shaft 4 passes through the fixed rod 22 and is connected to a push block 41. The telescopic rod 24 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 22, and a triangular block 241 is connected to the inner side of the telescopic rod 24. The push block 41 is provided with an angle on the side of the triangular block 241. An elastic element for restoring the position of the telescopic rod 24 is installed on the fixed rod 22. Limiting elements are symmetrically installed on the fixed rod 22. The limiting elements prevent the rack 33 from sliding on the support seat 32.

[0046] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the wire threading mechanism 15 to pass the copper wire into the hole opened on the carbon brush and fix the copper wire, a small shaft 4 and a push block 41 are set, and a triangular block 241 is set on the telescopic rod 24. In specific implementation, the position of the push block 41 can be adjusted by sliding the small shaft 4 in the central shaft 21. Through the cooperation between the push block 41 and the triangular block 241, the telescopic rod 24 is moved away from each other, and the two sets of carbon brushes are separated, and then wired and fixed individually.

[0047] The push block 41 at the end of the small shaft 4 cooperates with the triangular block 241 on the telescopic rod 24, and the stroke of the small shaft 4 is less than the thickness of the triangular block 241. During the entire stroke of the small shaft 4, the push block 41 can always be in contact with the triangular block 241 so that when the small shaft 4 is reset, the elastic element can smoothly restore the position of the telescopic rod 24.

[0048] Specifically, a large shaft 3 is sleeved on the outside of the central shaft 21. A crossbar 301 is symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the large shaft 3 near the adjusting mechanism 6. The crossbar 301 is horizontally set and perpendicular to the large shaft 3. Four sets of horizontal plates 302 are installed on the other end of the large shaft 3. The four sets of horizontal plates 302 are set at equal angles on the outer wall of the large shaft 3. A second spring 31 is installed between the large shaft 3 and the fixed rod 22. The second spring 31 is sleeved on the outside of the central shaft 21.

[0049] It should be noted that, in order to reduce the use of driving components, the push rod 35 is uniformly adjusted by the horizontal plate 302 set on the main shaft 3. When the main shaft 3 moves along the length direction of the central shaft 21 towards the fixed rod 22, the horizontal plate 302 can contact the stop block 352 at the end of the push rod 35, and drive the push rod 35 to move through the stop block 352, thereby adjusting the angle and position of the gripper 27.

[0050] Specifically, the limiting component includes mounting rods 5 fixed to both ends of the fixing rod 22. The mounting rods 5 are telescopic, and the ends of the mounting rods 5 are connected to the limiting insert rods 51 at the positions corresponding to the tooth grooves of the straight rack 33.

[0051] It should be noted that in the above scheme, the gripper 27 needs to be flipped before it can move, which is not convenient for threading the carbon brush. The mounting rod 5 and the limiting rod 51 are set up so that when the small shaft 4 drives the push block 41 to move and push the telescopic rod 24 away from each other, the limiting rod 51 can restrict the rack 33 so that the rack 33 cannot slide in the support seat 32. At this time, the large shaft 3 moves and pushes the support seat 32 and the rack 33 to move simultaneously through the horizontal plate 302, and the gripper 27 will not rotate. The limiting rod 51 and the rack 33 have the same tooth groove shape so that the limiting rod 51 and the rack 33 can be fully engaged.

[0052] Specifically, the telescopic rod 24 has a symmetrically arranged bent rod 242 at the end away from the connecting seat 25, and a symmetrically arranged long rod 221 on the fixed rod 22 to limit the bent rod 242. The long rod 221 is arranged along the length direction of the fixed rod 22. The end of the bent rod 242 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding long rod 221. Two sets of elastic elements are provided, and the elastic element is a first spring 222. The first spring 222 is sleeved on both ends of the long rod 221, and the two ends of the first spring 222 are in contact with the fixed rod 22 and the bent rod 242 respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 6 includes a first cylinder 61 and a second cylinder 63. The first cylinder 61 and the second cylinder 63 are mounted on the turntable 11 via a support frame 64, and the first cylinder 61 is positioned above the second cylinder 63. A connecting plate 62 is mounted on the output end of the first cylinder 61. Vertical rods 621 are symmetrically arranged on the connecting plate 62. The vertical rods 621 are vertically arranged and correspond to the horizontal rod 301. The output end of the second cylinder 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the small shaft 4.

[0054] It should be noted that the first cylinder 61 and the second cylinder 63 are used to drive the large shaft 3 and the small shaft 4 to move, respectively, and the appropriate model can be selected according to the usage environment.

[0055] Specifically, the cross-section of the central shaft 21 is rectangular, and a bevel gear 28 is coaxially connected to the central shaft 21. A bevel rack 17 is provided on the worktable 1 in the area between the drilling mechanism 13 and the grooving mechanism 14. When the turntable 11 drives the central shaft 21 to sweep over the bevel rack 17, the bevel rack 17 restricts the bevel gear 28 to make the central shaft 21 rotate 90 degrees. When the main shaft 3 rotates 90 degrees, a crossbar 301 contacts the connecting plate 62.

[0056] It should be noted that when the small shaft 4 drives the large shaft 3 to rotate, the crossbar 301 on the large shaft 3 rotates to a vertical state. In this state, when the first cylinder 61 pushes the connecting plate 62 to move, the connecting plate 62 can contact the crossbar 301 fixed on the upper part of the large shaft 3 in this state, and adjust the position of the large shaft 3 on the central shaft 21.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This embodiment presents a method for using the continuous carbon product production apparatus described above, the steps of which are as follows:

[0059] S1: The turntable rotates so that a set of clamps are aligned with the feeding mechanism;

[0060] S2: The adjusting mechanism pushes the clamp to extend to the feeding mechanism and adjusts the clamp's posture. The feeding mechanism places the carbon brush in the clamping part of the clamp, and then the clamp fixes the carbon brush. After the feeding is completed, the adjusting mechanism restores the clamp's posture and retracts the clamp to its original position.

[0061] During feeding, the second cylinder 63 pushes the small shaft 4 to move towards the fixed rod 22 in the central shaft 21. The small shaft 4 drives the push block 41 to push the triangular block 241 to move towards both ends of the fixed rod 22. The fixed rod 22 drives the telescopic rod 24 to move away from each other. During this process, the bent rod 242 slides along the long rod 221 and squeezes the first spring 222 to deform. When the telescopic rod 24 moves to the limit position, the limiting insert 51 is inserted into the tooth groove of the straight rack 33 to limit the position of the straight rack 33.

[0062] After the telescopic rod 24 moves the gripper 27 away, the first cylinder 61 pushes the connecting plate 62 to move towards the main shaft 3. The vertical rod 621 on the connecting plate 62 contacts the horizontal rod 301 connected to the main shaft 3, pushing the main shaft 3 to move towards the fixed rod 22. The horizontal plate 302 on the main shaft 3 moves towards the stop block 352. After contacting the stop block 352, it pushes the push rod 35 to move. Because the rack 33 is restricted by the limiting rod 51, the rack 33 drives the support base 32 to move together, so that the gripper 27 extends into the feeding mechanism 12. The feeding mechanism 12 places the carbon brush on the gripper 27, and the gripper 27 clamps the carbon brush.

[0063] Then the first cylinder 61 retracts and pulls the small shaft 4 to reset. The small shaft 4 drives the push block 41 to reset. The first spring 222 pushes the telescopic rods 24 closer to each other through the bent rod 242 until the gripper 27 returns to its original position.

[0064] Then, the second spring 31 pushes the main shaft 3 to reset. During this process, the third spring 351 pushes the push rod 35 to reset. The push rod 35 drives the support seat 32 to return to its initial position through the rack 33, so that the gripper 27 returns to its initial position.

[0065] S3: The turntable rotates, causing the above-mentioned clamp to rotate to face the drilling mechanism. The adjusting mechanism pushes the clamp to extend towards the drilling mechanism and adjusts the clamp's posture. The drilling mechanism drills holes in the carbon brush. After drilling is completed, the adjusting mechanism restores the clamp's posture and retracts the clamp to its original position.

[0066] During drilling, the drive unit continues to drive the turntable 11 to rotate until the clamp 2 is directly facing the drilling mechanism 13. The first cylinder 61 pushes the main shaft 3 to slide on the central shaft 21. The main shaft 3 drives the push rod 35 to push the rack 33 to slide on the support seat 32 to its limit position. During this process, the rack 33 drives the gripper 27 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the carbon brush extends into the drilling mechanism 13 with its end face facing upward. The drilling mechanism 13 drills holes on the outer end face of the carbon brush. After drilling is completed, the first cylinder 61 is retracted, the push rod 35 is reset under the push of the third spring 351, and drives the rack 33 to slide on the support seat 32 to the initial position, restoring the gripper 27 to its original angle. Then, the rack 33 drives the support seat 32 to return to its original position, and the gripper 27 is retracted.

[0067] S4: The turntable continues to rotate, causing the above-mentioned fixture to rotate to face the grooving mechanism. During this process, the adjusting mechanism rotates the fixture 90 degrees. When the fixture faces the grooving mechanism, the adjusting mechanism pushes the fixture to extend towards the grooving mechanism and adjusts the fixture posture. The grooving mechanism grooves the carbon brush surface. After the grooving is completed, the adjusting mechanism restores the fixture posture and retracts the fixture to its original position.

[0068] During grooving, the drive unit continues to drive the turntable 11 to rotate. During the rotation of the turntable 11, the bevel gear 28 on the central shaft 21 is restricted by the bevel rack 17, which drives the clamp 2 to rotate 90 degrees as a whole, adjusting the carbon brush to the grooving angle. When the turntable 11 rotates to face the grooving mechanism 14, the first cylinder 61 extends, first rotating the gripper 27, and then pushing the gripper 27 into the grooving mechanism 14. The grooving mechanism 14 grooves the carbon brush surface. After the grooving is completed, the first cylinder 61 retracts, so that the gripper 27 returns to its original state.

[0069] S5: The turntable continues to rotate, causing the above-mentioned clamp to rotate to face the wire threading mechanism. Then the adjustment mechanism pushes the clamp to extend towards the wire threading mechanism and adjusts the clamp posture. The wire threading mechanism inserts the copper wire into the hole on the carbon brush and fixes it. After the wire threading is completed, the adjustment mechanism restores the clamp posture and retracts the clamp to its original position.

[0070] During wire threading, the drive unit drives the turntable 11 to rotate until the clamp 2 is directly opposite the wire threading mechanism 15. Then, the second cylinder 63 pushes the small shaft 4 to move, causing the telescopic rods 24 to move away from each other, driving the rack 33 to move towards the limiting rod 51 until the limiting rod 51 restricts the position of the rack 33. At this time, the distance between the grippers 27 is at its maximum. Then, the first cylinder 61 pushes the large shaft 3 to move. The large shaft 3 pushes the push rod 35 through the horizontal plate 302. The push rod 35 pushes the rack 33 and the support seat 32 to move synchronously, so that the grippers 27 extend into the wire threading mechanism 15. The wire threading mechanism 15 threads the copper wire into the hole drilled on the carbon brush and fixes the copper wire. Then, the first cylinder 61 pulls the small shaft 4 to reset. The first spring 222 pushes the telescopic rods 24 closer to each other through the bent rod 242 until the grippers 27 return to their original position.

[0071] S6: The turntable drives the clamp to rotate again, so that the clamp is facing the unloading mechanism. Then the adjusting mechanism pushes the clamp to extend to the unloading mechanism. At this time, the clamp releases its grip on the carbon brush, and the unloading mechanism removes the carbon brush from the clamp.

[0072] During unloading, repeat the above loading process, insert the gripper 27 into the unloading mechanism 16, and release the gripper 27. After the unloading mechanism 16 removes the carbon brush, restore the gripper 27 to its original position.

[0073] S7: Repeat the above steps until all carbon brushes have been processed.

[0074] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
