Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production and processing, and in particular to a control method for automatic feeding equipment for brake pads. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of brake pads, a feeding tray is required to load the base material and surface material used for the brake pads. In the existing technology, the feeding tray is still placed on the feeding machine manually for manual feeding. After the feeding is completed, it is moved to the next process. The feeding tray still relies on manual operation between each process, which has a large workload, the connection between the various processes is not smooth, and the degree of automation is not high, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a control method for automatic feeding equipment for brake pads. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a control method for automatic brake pad feeding equipment.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The automatic feeding equipment control method is as follows:

[0005] S1. Set the corresponding control parameters for the assembly station, conveyor, transfer mechanism, feeding device, and trolley on the main control system;

[0006] S2. The sensor detects whether the trolley on the assembly station is equipped with a material receiving component and feeds the signal back to the main control system;

[0007] S3. After receiving the signal, the main control system controls an idle cart on the conveyor to move to the assembly station. The main control system then controls the assembly station to drive the cart to transfer the received component to the conveyor cart. Furthermore, a sensor detects whether the transfer mechanism has delivered a received component to the conveyor cart and sends a feedback signal to the main control system. The main control system then controls the conveyor cart to transfer the received component to the assembly station cart, where it awaits retrieval.

[0008] S4. The main control system controls the conveyor trolley to transport the receiving assembly to the transfer mechanism. The main control system controls the upper trolley of the transfer mechanism to transport the receiving assembly to the feeding device. The upper trolley is then controlled to return to its original position to assemble a new receiving assembly. When the feeding device is finished filling, it sends a signal to the main control system. The main control system controls the lower trolley of the transfer mechanism to receive the finished receiving assembly and move the lower trolley to the bottom. At the same time, the main control system controls the upper trolley to descend and transport the idle receiving assembly to the feeding device. The lower trolley is then controlled to rise to the conveyor and transfer the receiving assembly on the lower trolley to the conveyor.

[0009] S5. The sensor on the feeding device detects the material receiving component and feeds back a signal to the main control system. After receiving the signal, the main control system controls the feeding device to feed the base material and the fabric to the material receiving component in batches. After the feeding is completed, it sends a signal to the main control system.

[0010] S6. After receiving the feeding completion signal, the main control system controls the transfer mechanism to transport the fed receiving components to the trolley of the conveying device;

[0011] S7. The sensor detects the receiving component on the conveyor trolley and feeds back a signal to the main control system. The main control system controls the trolley to transport the receiving component to the assembly station, waiting for manual removal and assembly of a new receiving component.

[0012] Further preferably, the material receiving components are transported between the assembly station and the transfer mechanism via a conveying device; and the material receiving components are transported between the transfer mechanism and the feeding device via a conveying device.

[0013] Further preferably, the conveying device between the assembly station and the transfer mechanism is connected by an independent feeding conveying vehicle and a discharging conveying vehicle.

[0014] Further preferably, the transfer mechanism is also equipped with a compacting mechanism. When the material receiving assembly is feeding the material, the compacting mechanism first takes out the pressure plate on the material receiving assembly, and the main control system controls the feeding device to first feed the base material into the material receiving assembly, and then transports the material receiving assembly to the compacting mechanism to compact the base material in the material receiving assembly, and then transports it to the feeding device to feed the fabric, and then transports the material receiving assembly to the compacting mechanism to compact the fabric, and finally places the pressure plate on the material receiving assembly.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention realizes automatic control of the automatic feeding equipment for brake pads by utilizing the main control system, accurately controls the transportation of each trolley to the docking material components, and makes automatic feeding seamless, thereby replacing the process of manual feeding and transportation, reducing labor intensity, improving the connection efficiency between various processes, and improving production efficiency; at the same time, the feeding and transportation are accurately performed, thereby improving the consistency of the feeding of the docking components and improving product quality;

[0016] The main control system controls the feed and discharge conveyor belts to connect the assembly stations and transfer mechanisms respectively. Upper and lower layered trolleys are used for transportation, ensuring that the receiving components do not interfere with each other during feeding and discharging, thereby improving the trolley transportation efficiency.

[0017] By setting up the transfer mechanism, the material receiving components can be quickly connected between the assembly station and the feeding device, which reduces the waiting time of the material receiving components during the transportation process, enables the feeding device to feed materials uninterruptedly, and improves the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0026] See attached Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a control method for an automatic feeding device for brake pads is provided. The control method for the automatic feeding device is as follows:

[0027] S1. Set the corresponding control parameters of the assembly station, conveying device, transfer mechanism, feeding device and trolley on the main control system; the conveying device between the assembly station and the transfer mechanism is connected by an independent feed conveyor vehicle and a discharge conveyor vehicle, wherein the feed conveyor vehicle is placed on the upper layer and the discharge conveyor vehicle is placed on the lower layer; the material receiving assembly is transported between the transfer mechanism and the feeding device through the conveying device.

[0028] S2. When the sensor detects that the trolley on the assembly station is equipped with a material receiving component, it feeds the signal back to the main control system;

[0029] S3. After receiving the receiving signal, the main control system controls the infeed conveyor to move to the assembly station and controls the assembly station's driving trolley to rise to the same height as the infeed conveyor. The main control system controls the assembly station trolley to transfer the received component to the infeed conveyor. Meanwhile, the sensor on the outfeed conveyor detects that the lower trolley of the transfer mechanism has transferred a received component to the outfeed conveyor. The main control system first determines the currently unoccupied assembly station through the sensor, and then transfers the received component from the outfeed conveyor to the assembly station. The outfeed conveyor then controls the outfeed conveyor to transfer the received component to the assembly station's trolley, where it awaits manual or robotic removal.

[0030] S4. The main control system controls the feed conveyor to transport the receiving assembly to the transfer mechanism. The main control system first determines the position of the lower trolley and controls the lower trolley to move to the bottom of the transfer mechanism, and then controls the upper trolley to move to the height of the discharging conveyor and the feeding device, and transports the receiving assembly on the upper trolley to the compacting mechanism. The main control system controls the compacting mechanism to remove the pressing plate in the receiving assembly and transports the receiving assembly to the feeding device for feeding. At this time, the main control system controls the upper trolley to move to the same height as the feed conveyor. The main control system moves the feed conveyor to the assembly station equipped with the receiving assembly through the feedback signal of the sensor, controls the trolley on the assembly station to transfer the receiving assembly to the feed conveyor, and controls the feed conveyor to transport the receiving assembly to the upper trolley of the transfer mechanism, waiting for use.

[0031] S5. The trolley of the conveying device transports the material receiving assembly to the feeding device. After the sensor detects the material receiving assembly, it feeds back a signal to the main control system. After receiving the signal, the main control system controls the feeding device to weigh the base material of the material receiving assembly first, and puts the weighed base material into the material receiving assembly, and then controls the trolley to transport the material receiving assembly to the bottom of the compacting mechanism, controls the compacting mechanism to compact the base material in the material receiving assembly, and then controls the trolley to move the material receiving assembly to the fabric delivery position. The main control system controls the feeding device to weigh the fabric, and puts the weighed fabric into the material receiving assembly, and then controls the trolley to transport the material receiving assembly to the bottom of the compacting mechanism, controls the compacting mechanism to compact the fabric in the material receiving assembly, and finally places the pressing plate on the material receiving assembly. At this time, the compacting mechanism feeds back a completion signal to the main control system. After receiving the signal, the main control system controls the transfer mechanism to go down The lower trolley moves to the height of the conveyor trolley, transfers the material receiving assembly to the lower trolley, controls the lower trolley to continue to descend to the bottom of the transfer mechanism, continues to control the upper trolley to descend to the height of the conveyor device of the feeding device, transfers the idle material receiving assembly on the upper trolley to the trolley of the conveyor device, and carries out the next round of base material and fabric feeding operations; the main control system controls the upper trolley to rise to the height of the feed conveyor trolley, and uses the same method to load the idle material receiving assembly on the upper trolley. At the same time, the main control system controls the lower trolley to move upward to the same height of the discharge conveyor trolley, controls the lower trolley to transfer the material receiving assembly to the discharge conveyor trolley, and the main control system determines the currently idle assembly station through the sensor, and controls the discharge conveyor trolley to transport it to the assembly station, and transfers the material receiving assembly on the discharge conveyor trolley to the trolley of the assembly station, waiting to be taken out manually or by a robotic arm.
