Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of material conveying, and specifically to a device and method for detecting the end face of a clutch driven disc assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The point inspection method used in traditional clutch end face inspection has problems of low inspection efficiency and low accuracy. The upgraded inspection technology adopts laser inspection, which can inspect the flatness of the entire driven plate end face, thus improving the end face inspection efficiency of the finished driven plate.

[0003] Currently, the flatness inspection of clutch driven plate assemblies in the factory area is carried out manually by picking up and placing the driven plate on the laser flatness inspection machine. The laser flatness inspection machine is equipped with special fixtures, and the corresponding fixtures need to be adjusted and replaced according to the specifications and dimensions of the driven plate. Due to the large production volume of driven plates, the daily workload of the inspection personnel is relatively large.

[0004] The inventors proposed a method for end face inspection of clutch driven plate assemblies. By designing a flexible conveying device, the method completes the feeding operation of clutch driven plates of different specifications, and sends the driven plates into a laser flatness detector for inspection, thereby reducing the workload of the inspectors.

[0007] The bracket is fixed between the laser flatness detector and the feed belt conveyor. The left front end and right rear end of the bracket are fixedly connected to translation electric push rods. The top front end and rear end of the bracket are movably connected to auxiliary frames. The middle of the auxiliary frames is fixedly equipped with lifting electric push rods.

[0008] Two carriages, the bottom of which is movably connected to the top of the auxiliary frame.

[0009] A slide block, the top of which is fixedly provided with a truss, and a conveyor belt is movably connected to the outside of the truss. Limiting baffles are fixedly provided at equal intervals on the outside of the conveyor belt.

[0010] The synchronous or asynchronous conveying and start-stop operation of the two corresponding conveyor belts on the left and right sides enable the driven disk to perform both non-rotating and rotating conveying processes.

[0011] Furthermore, positioning seats are fixed on the top left and right sides of the feeding belt conveyor, and a guide rod is sleeved in the middle of the positioning seat. A limit spring is sleeved on the right end of the guide rod, and a limit plate is fixed on the right end of the guide rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the slide block is symmetrically arranged about the middle of the threaded rod, and the bottom of the slide block is movably connected to the top of the carriage.

[0016] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the truss are movably connected to a driven wheel and a driving wheel, respectively.

A limit spring 23 is sleeved on the right end of the guide rod 22, and a limit plate 24 is fixed on the right end of the guide rod 22. The left and right sides of the limit spring 23 abut against the right side of the positioning seat 21 and the left side of the limit plate 24, respectively.

[0036] The limiting spring 23 and the guide rod 22 work together to push the limiting plate 24 toward the middle of the feeding belt conveyor 2, guiding the driven discs of different specifications conveyed on the feeding belt conveyor 2.

[0047] The cooperation between the conveyor belt 9 and the limit baffle 91 enables this device to pick up driven discs of different specifications.

[0048] A method for inspecting the end face of a clutch driven plate assembly, comprising the following specific steps: S1. Driven discs of different specifications are placed on the feed belt conveyor 2 for conveying. The driven discs of different specifications are guided to the middle of the conveyor belt 9 for feeding operation by means of the limiting plate 24.

[0049] S2. Adjust the motor 64 to work, and adjust the working position of the conveyor belt 9 through the slide 7 and the truss 8. Drive the motor 83 to work, so that the two sets of conveyor belts 9 cooperate to clamp and transport the driven plate.

[0050] S3. The lifting electric push rod 51 changes the working height of the conveyor belt 9. The cooperation between the conveyor belt 9 and the limit baffle 91 enables the conveyor belt 9 to pick up the driven disc from the discharge port of the feed belt conveyor 2.

[0051] S4. The rotary motor 32, together with the mounting bracket 31, drives the support 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the working position of the conveyor belt 9. In conjunction with the translation electric push rod 4, the conveyor belt 9 is extended into the laser flatness detector 1.

[0052] S5. The lifting electric actuator 51 changes the working height of the carriage 6, and together with the conveyor belt 9, places the driven plates of different specifications on the detection platform inside the laser flatness detector 1 for detection.

[0053] In this embodiment: Two auxiliary frames 5 are installed on the support frame 3, and two conveyor belts 9 are installed on each slide 6. The two conveyor belts 9 work together in the following working mode: 1. The two conveyor belts 9 move at the same conveying speed to complete the positioning and stable conveying of the driven disc and the horizontal arrangement of the driven disc; 2. The two conveyor belts 9 work together with a speed difference to complete the rotational conveying of the driven disc outside the conveyor belt 9; 3. When one conveyor belt 9 stops working, the other conveyor belt 9 starts working, realizing the rotation and conveying of the driven disk outside the conveyor belt 9.

[0054] The design of the two auxiliary frames 5 and the matching carriages 6 enables the device to transport and process two different sizes of driven discs during production operations.

[0055] In the process of conveying a single-specification driven disk to the laser flatness measuring instrument 1 for flatness testing, multiple driven disks can be arranged horizontally within the conveyor belt 9 through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 9 and the limit baffle 91.

[0056] This device enables the transport of driven disks of different specifications to the laser flatness measuring instrument 1, reducing the workload of the inspector.
