Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of liner processing technology, and more specifically to a liner separation and feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The clutch friction plate transmits torque and consists of an annular metal liner and a layer of rubber friction material covering the surface of the metal liner. During processing, the metal liner needs to be pushed to a designated position by a feeding device for easy gripping and processing by the robotic arm on the automated line.

[0003] For liners with flat end faces, the following methods can be adopted: Figure 1 The liner separation and feeding device shown uses push plates to sequentially separate and push the bottom liner at the bottom to a designated position during feeding, making it convenient for the robotic arm of the automated line to grasp and process it.

[0004] However, for example Figure 2 The liner shown has external teeth 52 on the outer circumference of the ring 51, and the two opposite end faces of the external teeth 52 are higher than the corresponding end faces of the ring 51. If a liner is used... Figure 1 The feeding method shown may cause jamming during the ejection of the bottom liner, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom liner cannot be pushed out.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve automatic separation and feeding of liners with external teeth on the outer circle of the ring has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a liner separation and feeding device to automatically separate and feed liners with external teeth on the outer circle of an annular ring. The device has an ingenious structure and good feeding effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a liner separation and feeding device, wherein the liner includes a ring body and a plurality of external teeth arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall of the ring body;

[0008] The liner separation and feeding device includes:

[0009] A workbench having a central hole for the liner to fall off;

[0010] The support member, which has a perforated plate structure, is fixedly mounted on the worktable, and the central hole of the support member is arranged opposite to the central hole of the worktable; the inner peripheral wall of the central hole of the support member has internal teeth that cooperate with the external teeth of the liner; when the external teeth and the internal teeth are aligned, the liner is supported on the support member; when the external teeth and the internal teeth are misaligned, the liner can fall downward from the central hole of the support member.

[0011] A driving component, which is combined with a bottom liner directly supported on the carrier, for driving the bottom liner to rotate;

[0012] An anti-rotation element is mounted on the worktable to circumferentially limit all liners stacked above the bottom liner.

[0013] Preferably, the drive component with a perforated plate structure is fitted onto the bottom liner;

[0014] The inner peripheral wall of the central hole of the drive component has a groove that engages with the outer teeth of the bottom liner. Support teeth are formed between adjacent grooves. The thickness of the groove and the support teeth is less than the thickness of the outer teeth of the bottom liner.

[0015] Preferably, the driving member is supported on the carrier member.

[0016] Preferably, the support member is an annular component, and the driving member has an annular step that mates with the support member.

[0017] Preferably, the driving component is a gear component, and the driving component is connected to a motor for transmission.

[0018] Preferably, the motor is fixed to the bottom surface of the worktable, and the part of the motor's output shaft that passes through the worktable is fitted with a drive gear that meshes with the drive component.

[0019] Preferably, the anti-rotation component includes two anti-rotation upright plates arranged at intervals. The two anti-rotation upright plates located above the bottom liner are provided with anti-rotation grooves for the external teeth of the liner to slide into. The anti-rotation grooves are opened in the vertical direction.

[0020] Preferably, the anti-rotation component further includes a base, and the two anti-rotation uprights are fixed to the workbench via the base.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a conveyor belt located below the central hole of the worktable.

[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] During loading, several liner plates 5 are stacked on the support member 2, with the outer teeth 52 of several liner plates 5 aligned. At this time, the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner plate 5 at the bottommost position are supported on the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2. Then, the drive member 3, in response to the external drive, can rotate the bottom liner plate 5, so that the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner plate 5 are misaligned with the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2 and fall down from the center hole of the support member 2 to the designated position, thereby completing the separation and loading of the bottom liner plate 5. Since all the liner plates 5 above the bottom liner plate 5 are circumferentially limited by the anti-rotation member 4, when the bottom liner plate 5 rotates relative to the support member 2, all the liner plates 5 above the bottom liner plate 5 will not rotate. After the bottom liner plate 5 falls, the second to last liner plate 5 falls onto the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2 to become the new bottom liner plate 5.

[0024] It can be seen that the liner separation and feeding device can automatically separate and feed the liner with external teeth on the outer circle of the ring. It has a clever structure and good feeding effect. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The core of this invention lies in providing a liner separation and feeding device, which can automatically separate and feed liners with external teeth on the outer circle of an annular ring. The device has an ingenious structure and good feeding effect.

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 4-6 As shown, Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the liner separation and feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the liner separation and feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the liner separation and feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] This invention discloses a liner separating and feeding device for, such as Figure 2 The type of liner 5 shown is automatically fed. For example... Figure 2 The liner 5 shown includes a ring 51 and several external teeth 52 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall of the ring 51. The two opposite end faces of the external teeth 52 protrude from the corresponding end faces of the ring 11.

[0045] The liner separation and feeding device includes: a workbench 1, a bearing component 2, a driving component 3, and an anti-rotation component 4.

[0046] Among them, the workbench 1 serves as the installation platform for each component, and the workbench 1 has a central hole for the liner plate 5 to fall into.

[0047] A perforated plate structure, the support member 2, is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1 to support the liner plate 5. The central hole of the support member 2 is arranged opposite to the central hole of the workbench 1, and the inner peripheral wall of the central hole of the support member 2 has internal teeth 21 that engage with the external teeth of the liner plate 5 (see...). Figure 6 When the outer teeth 52 of the liner 5 are aligned with the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2, the liner 5 is supported on the support member 2; at this time, the outer teeth 52 of the liner 5 are supported on the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2. When the outer teeth 52 of the liner 5 are misaligned with the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2, the liner 5 can fall downward from the center hole of the support member 2; that is, when the liner 5 rotates a certain angle relative to the support member 2, the outer teeth 52 of the liner 5 rotate from the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2 to the relief groove 22 adjacent to the inner teeth 21. At this time, the outer teeth 52 of the liner 5 are misaligned with the inner teeth 21 of the support member 2 and aligned with the relief groove 22, then the liner 5 will fall downward from the center hole of the support member 2 to the designated position.

[0048] The driving component 3 is combined with the bottom liner 5, which is directly supported on the carrier 2, to drive the bottom liner 5 to rotate. The driving component 3 can have various structural forms, as long as it can drive the bottom liner 5 to rotate relative to the carrier 2.

[0049] An anti-rotation member 4 is disposed on the worktable 1 to circumferentially limit all the lining plates stacked above the bottom lining plate 5. The anti-rotation member 4 can have various structural forms, as long as it circumferentially limits all the lining plates 5 above the bottom lining plate 5 when the bottom lining plate 5 rotates relative to the carrier 2.

[0050] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, during feeding, several liner plates 5 are stacked on the carrier 2, with the outer teeth 52 of several liner plates 5 aligned. At this time, the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner plate 5 at the bottommost position are supported on the inner teeth 21 of the carrier 2. Then, the drive unit 3, in response to the external drive, can rotate the bottom liner plate 5, so that the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner plate 5 are misaligned with the inner teeth 21 of the carrier 2 and fall down from the center hole of the carrier 2 to the designated position, thereby completing the separation and feeding of the bottom liner plate 5. Since all the liner plates 5 above the bottom liner plate 5 are circumferentially limited by the anti-rotation member 4, when the bottom liner plate 5 rotates relative to the carrier 2, all the liner plates 5 above the bottom liner plate 5 will not rotate. After the bottom liner plate 5 falls, the second to last liner plate 5 falls onto the inner teeth 21 of the carrier 2 to become the new bottom liner plate 5, thus realizing the cyclic separation and feeding.

[0051] It can be seen that the liner separation and feeding device can automatically separate and feed the liner with external teeth on the outer circle of the ring. It has a clever structure and good feeding effect.

[0052] In some specific implementations, the drive element 3 can be designed as a perforated plate structure, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the drive component 3, which has a perforated plate structure, can be fitted onto the bottom liner 5. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the central hole of the drive member 3 has a groove 31 that engages with the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner 5, and a support tooth 32 is formed between adjacent grooves 31.

[0053] like Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the drive member 3 and the bottom liner 5 in an embodiment of the present invention. When the bottom liner 5 is rotated relative to the support member 2, the slot of the drive member 3 engages with the outer teeth 52 of the bottom liner 5. In response to external drive, the drive member 3 can rotate, thereby driving the bottom liner 5 to rotate. After the bottom liner 5 rotates a certain angle, it will fall from the center hole of the support member 2 to a designated position. After the bottom liner 5 falls, the drive member 3 can rotate in the opposite direction to return to the initial position to start separating and feeding the next bottom liner 5.

[0054] It should be noted that the thickness of the slot 31 and the support tooth 21 of the driving component 3 should both be less than the thickness of the outer tooth 52 of the bottom liner 5. It is understood that when the bottom liner 5 falls, all the liners 5 above the bottom liner 5 will descend sequentially by the height of one liner. In this embodiment, as the bottom liner 5 falls, the liners above the bottom liner 5 will fall onto the support tooth 32 of the driving component 3. In other words, the support tooth 32 of the driving component 3 temporarily supports the liners 5 above the bottom liner 5 while the bottom liner 5 falls. When the driving component 3 rotates back to its original position, the liners 5 temporarily supported on the support tooth 32 will fall onto the inner tooth 21 of the bearing component 2, completing one working cycle. To achieve the temporary support of the upper liner 5 by the support tooth 32 of the driving component 3, the thickness of the slot 31 and the support tooth 21 of the driving component 3 should both be less than the thickness of the outer tooth 52 of the bottom liner 5.

[0055] Advantages, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 3 can be supported on the carrier component 2, giving it a support point and making its rotation more stable. Furthermore, when the carrier component 2 is an annular member, the driving component 3 can form an annular step that mates with the carrier component 2. Thus, the carrier component 2 defines the rotation axis of the driving component 3, preventing displacement deviation during rotation.

[0056] The driving component 3 is driven to rotate by an external drive. For example, as... Figure 5As shown, the driving component 3 can be designed as a gear assembly, and can be connected to a motor 6 for transmission. Specifically, the motor 6 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the worktable 1, and the part of the motor's output shaft passing through the worktable 1 is fitted with a drive gear 7 that meshes with the driving component 3. Thus, the rotation of the driving component 3 driven by the motor 6 has good stability. Of course, other external drive methods can also be used to drive the rotation of the driving component 3, for example, a cylinder crank can be used to drive the rotation of the driving component 3.

[0057] In other specific implementation schemes, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the anti-rotation component 4 includes two anti-rotation upright plates 41 arranged at intervals. The two anti-rotation upright plates 41 located above the bottom liner plate 5 have anti-rotation grooves 41a for the external teeth 52 of the liner plate 5 to slide into. The anti-rotation grooves 41a are opened in the vertical direction. The two anti-rotation upright plates 41 not only limit the rotation of all the liners 5 above the bottom liner plate 5 when the bottom liner plate 5 rotates, preventing rotation, but also provide guidance for all the liners above the bottom liner plate 5 when they descend.

[0058] Furthermore, the anti-rotation component 4 also includes a base 42, and the two anti-rotation uprights 41 are fixed to the worktable 1 through the base 42.

[0059] In some other specific embodiments, the aforementioned liner separation and feeding device also includes a conveyor belt located below the center hole of the workbench 1, through which the bottom liner 5 can fall onto the conveyor belt and be conveyed to a designated position, thereby facilitating the automatic line robot to grasp and process it.
