Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing and processing, specifically to a feeder for storing water pump housings. Background Technology

[0002] After the water pump housing is shaped using multiple sets of high-efficiency processing equipment, it needs to be neatly stacked in appropriate storage devices for later shipment or modification. However, in practice, each water pump housing is manually moved to a specific location on the storage device for secure storage after processing. Due to the large volume of processing, manually handling and storing each piece would undoubtedly consume a significant amount of time and labor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology, the present invention proposes a feeding machine for storing water pump housings.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0005] A feeder for storing water pump housings includes a main storage rack, on which a high-mounted seat and a transfer conveyor assembly are mounted. The transfer conveyor assembly is connected to several conveyor plates, each with several clamping assemblies. The transfer conveyor assembly is used to transport and replace the conveyor plates. Each conveyor plate can store several water pump housings. Each clamping assembly is used to hold a single water pump housing in a limited-position storage manner on the conveyor plate.

[0006] Specifically, a lateral positioning assembly is installed on the elevated base, and the lateral positioning assembly is connected to a movable frame; a longitudinal positioning assembly is installed on the movable frame, and the longitudinal positioning assembly is connected to a loader, which includes a loading plate with a loading slot. The lateral positioning assembly is used to change the front-to-back position of the movable frame. The longitudinal positioning assembly is used to change the left-to-right position of the loader. The loader is used for transporting and loading the water pump housing. The loading slot is the main location for loading the water pump housing.

[0007] Specifically, each clamping assembly consists of a positioning main post mounted on the conveyor plate and three limiting plates. The positioning main post mates with the bearing holes of the pump housing. The limiting plates abut against three sides of the arc surface of the pump housing to prevent rotation.

[0008] Specifically, the conversion and conveying assembly consists of several sets of conveying units arranged in a front-to-back pattern; each conveying unit includes two Type I vertical frames installed on the front side of the main storage rack and two Type II vertical frames installed on the rear side of the main storage rack. Each conveying unit can convey several conveying plates. In addition, the two Type I vertical frames and two Type II vertical frames corresponding to each conveying unit are distributed in a rectangular quadrangle pattern.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0010] This invention can store a large number of pump housings in a limited manner, automatically control the movement and release of the processed pump housings in two-dimensional space, and also control the replacement of the conveyor plate, thus achieving the effect of automatically conveying and storing the pump housings.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention and not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeder for storing water pump housings includes a main storage rack 1, on which a high-mounted seat 2 and a conversion conveying assembly are mounted. The conversion conveying assembly is connected to several conveyor plates 3, each with several clamping assemblies. The conversion conveying assembly is used to transport and replace the conveyor plates 3. Each conveyor plate 3 can store several water pump housings. Each clamping assembly is used to store a single water pump housing in a limited-position manner on the conveyor plate 3.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a lateral displacement assembly is installed on the elevated base 2, and the lateral displacement assembly is connected to a movable frame 4; a longitudinal displacement assembly is installed on the movable frame 4, and the longitudinal displacement assembly is connected to a loader. The loader includes a loading plate 5, and the loading plate 5 has a loading groove 5a. The lateral displacement assembly is used to change the front-to-back position of the movable frame 4. The longitudinal displacement assembly is used to change the left-to-right position of the loader. The loader is used for transporting and loading the water pump housing. The loading groove 5a is the main position for loading the water pump housing.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the lateral displacement assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 6 and a linear guide rail 7, both mounted on the movable frame 4. The hydraulic cylinder 6 is connected to the movable frame 4; the movable frame 4 and the linear guide rail 7 are in sliding engagement. That is, the movable frame 4 can be pushed by the hydraulic cylinder 6 to move back and forth.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the longitudinal displacement assembly consists of a lead screw 8 connected to the loading plate 5, a motor 9, and a main guide rod 10, all mounted on the movable frame 4. The motor 9 is connected to the lead screw 8, and the main guide rod 10 is slidably connected to the loading plate 5. The lead screw 8 is mounted on the movable frame 4 via bearings. That is, the loading plate 5 can move left and right through the drive of the lead screw and nut.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower part of the loading plate 5 is provided with a limiting slide rail 5b, and the loader also includes a sealing plate 11 installed on the limiting slide rail 5b. The above is a conventional design of the sliding structure.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the sealing plate 11 abuts against the lower end of the loading plate 5, and the sealing plate 11 is connected to a cylinder 12 installed on the loading plate 5. The loading groove 5a extends through the upper and lower ends of the loading plate 5, that is, by controlling the sliding of the sealing plate 11, the feeding of the water pump housing can be controlled.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, each clamping assembly consists of a positioning main post 13 mounted on the conveyor plate 3 and three limiting plates 14. The positioning main post 13 is used to mate with the bearing hole of the water pump housing. The limiting plates 14 can abut against three sides of the arc surface of the water pump housing to prevent it from rotating.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the conversion conveying assembly consists of several sets of conveying units arranged in a front-to-back pattern; each conveying unit includes two Type I vertical frames 15 installed on the front side of the main storage rack 1 and two Type II vertical frames 16 installed on the rear side of the main storage rack 1. Each conveying unit can convey several conveying plates 3. In addition, the two Type I vertical frames 15 and two Type II vertical frames 16 corresponding to each conveying unit are distributed in a rectangular quadrangle pattern.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each Type I vertical frame 15 and each Type II vertical frame 16 is equipped with a conveyor belt 17; the four conveyor belts 17 corresponding to each conveying unit are all connected to the conveyor plate 3. Each conveyor unit may be connected to more than one conveyor plate 3 (although only one conveyor plate 3 is shown in the attached diagram, multiple plates can be used in practice). Furthermore, each conveyor plate 3 is kept horizontal.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in each conveying unit, the conveyor belt 17 corresponding to the type I vertical frame 15 is parallel to the conveyor belt 17 corresponding to the type II vertical frame 16. This arrangement ensures stable conveying of the conveyor plate 3.

[0030] When in use, the operator simply places the processed water pump housing onto the loading trough 5a.

[0031] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 17 will transport a conveyor plate 3 with an empty space to a position directly above the conveyor plate 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 6 pushes and pulls the movable frame 4, causing the movable frame 4 to move to a position directly above the conveyor plate 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the motor 9 drives the lead screw 8 to rotate, causing the loading plate 5 to move left or right until it is directly above the empty clamping assembly, with the effect as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0034] Finally, the cylinder 12 pushes open the sealing plate 11, allowing the water pump housing to fall and cooperate with the corresponding positioning main column 13 and the limiting plate 14 to achieve limited storage.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely prisms of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
