Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clutch hub manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to a stamping and transfer mechanism for producing motorcycle clutch hubs. Background Technology
[0002] The motorcycle clutch is a crucial component for starting and transmitting power in a motorcycle, allowing the transmission system to be engaged or disengaged at any time. Located within the flywheel housing between the engine and gearbox, the clutch assembly is secured to the engine's power output direction with screws. The clutch's output shaft is the gearbox's input shaft. A motorcycle clutch comprises an outer frame, inner hub, pressure plate, friction plate assembly, bolts, and springs. The outer frame is connected to the engine's output shaft via gears bolted to it; the inner hub engages with the gearbox's input shaft; the pressure plate is bolted to the inner hub, and the springs are fitted over the bolts. By manipulating the clutch's control mechanisms, such as the lever, hydraulic lines, lever, and push rod, the pressure applied by the pressure plate to the friction plate assembly can be controlled, thus enabling power transmission.
[0003] Currently, cold stamping is commonly used to ensure the effective forming of clutch hubs. This involves placing the workpiece sheet on a stamping machine and using the closing of upper and lower dies to stamp the clutch hub, achieving a certain degree of precision machining. However, this method has drawbacks in actual production: in existing production plants, the placement of raw materials and the removal of formed workpieces are mostly done manually, significantly increasing labor intensity and posing certain risks. Furthermore, due to the manual handling, inaccurate placement can easily lead to material waste and affect the forming process. While robotic arms are used to reduce labor costs, most robotic arms perform two separate actions for placing and removing workpieces: first, the robotic arm places the material onto the stamping machine; then, after stamping, it removes the formed workpiece, transports it, and then retrieves the raw material again. This process repeats, meaning one machine is working while the other is idle, which hinders production and cannot meet the needs of the factory. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the stamping loading and unloading transfer process of the aforementioned clutch hub. It proposes a stamping transfer mechanism for motorcycle clutch hub production that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and especially integrates the functions of placing raw materials and removing formed workpieces.

[0015] 1. This invention provides a stamping transfer mechanism for motorcycle clutch hub production. Through a lateral and longitudinal moving mechanism, the transfer device can be moved and adjusted at multiple positions in the horizontal direction to meet the needs of different production and processing tasks. A rotating mechanism allows two sets of transfer devices to rotate independently, each responsible for its corresponding task. The first set of transfer devices clamps the workpiece material and places it towards the stamping equipment. While the previous workpiece is being stamped, the second set of transfer devices clamps a workpiece material for later use. After the workpiece is stamped, the first set of transfer devices clamps the formed workpiece, and then the second set of transfer devices places the substitute workpiece on top. Then, the first set of transfer devices lowers the formed workpiece and clamps a new workpiece material. At this time, the second set... The transfer device moves to the position where the formed workpiece is clamped and places another new workpiece material. This process is repeated, allowing the device to be effectively used for workpiece stamping and transfer.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0025] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0026] Examples, such as Figures 1-6As shown, a stamping transfer mechanism for producing motorcycle clutch hubs includes two gantry-shaped support frames 1 arranged side by side. This provides convenient installation for various devices and equipment, while also ensuring stability and safe operation. It should be further noted that the support frames 1 are positioned in front of the stamping equipment, meaning the stamping equipment, transfer device, and material loading mechanism 15 are aligned in a straight line. This integrates the functions of workpiece feeding, workpiece transfer, and workpiece receiving and unloading, improving the functionality of the equipment and meeting diverse usage requirements. Furthermore, a transverse moving mechanism is installed inside the support frames 1. Structure 2: Below the transverse moving mechanism 2, a longitudinal moving mechanism 3 is provided. Two sets of longitudinal moving mechanisms 3 are arranged side-by-side in a rectangular design. Driven by the transverse moving mechanism 2, they achieve horizontal movement. The longitudinal moving mechanism 3 drives the equipment to move and adjust longitudinally, thus enabling multi-positional movement and adjustment in the horizontal direction to meet the needs of different production and processing operations. A moving block 4 is provided on the longitudinal moving mechanism 3; that is, the moving block 4 is the moving end of the longitudinal moving mechanism 3, providing convenient conditions for the setting of the carrier plate 5. The carrier plate 5 is set between the moving blocks 4 of the two longitudinal moving mechanisms 3, and a rotating mechanism is provided on the carrier plate 5. The structure includes an upper rotating assembly 6 and a lower rotating assembly 7, which can be controlled independently to achieve rotation to meet different usage requirements. Both the upper rotating assembly 6 and the lower rotating assembly 7 are equipped with a transfer device with three-axis movement function at their ends. The transfer device includes a concave-shaped support frame 8, a vertical lifting mechanism 9 on the support frame 8, a lateral adjustment mechanism 10 between the two vertical lifting mechanisms 9, and an obtuse-angled mounting bracket 11 on the moving end of the lateral adjustment mechanism 10. A rotating assembly 12 is located on the inner side below the mounting bracket 11, and a longitudinal adjustment mechanism 13 is located within the rotating assembly 12. A mechanical... The robot 14 is specifically described as follows: two sets of transfer devices can be rotated and adjusted in the circumferential direction to facilitate the picking and placing of workpieces; the operation of the vertical lifting mechanism 9 can be used to adjust the vertical position of the equipment to meet different usage needs; the establishment of the horizontal adjustment mechanism 10 can be used to make horizontal fine adjustments to the equipment to improve the functionality of the equipment; the established longitudinal adjustment mechanism 13 can drive the robot 14 to feed in the vertical or horizontal direction, which facilitates the picking of materials from the loading mechanism 15 and the placement of shaped workpieces, and is highly practical. The robot 14 is used to grasp and place workpieces, improve the work process, and meet the needs of production and processing.A material-carrying mechanism 15 is provided in front of the support frame 1, which serves to hold the material. One half of it is used to support the workpiece to be stamped, providing convenient conditions for the gripping of the robot arm 14. The other half is used to support the formed workpiece, providing a prerequisite for the subsequent stacking of the workpiece and meeting the usage requirements. The specific working principle and operation method, especially the operation of the transfer device, are as follows: After the first set of transfer devices clamps the workpiece material, it is placed towards the stamping equipment. While the previous workpiece is being stamped, the second set of transfer devices clamps a workpiece material for standby. After the workpiece is stamped, the first set of transfer devices clamps the formed workpiece. Then, the second set of transfer devices first places the substitute workpiece on it, and then drives the first set of transfer devices to put down the formed workpiece and clamp a new workpiece material. At this time, the second set of transfer devices moves to the position of clamping the formed workpiece and places another new workpiece material. The process of repeatedly feeding and transferring materials allows the equipment to be effectively used in the stamping and transfer of workpieces. The clamping of raw materials and the placement of formed workpieces can be carried out step by step in the above work process, resulting in smoother operation and stronger functionality. In addition, there is another way of using the equipment: First, according to the distance between the stamping equipment and the loading mechanism 15, the size of the longitudinal moving mechanism 3 on the support frame 1 is adjusted. That is, the workpiece material can be clamped from the loading mechanism 15 by simply rotating the transfer device, and the workpiece can be placed on the stamping equipment by using the longitudinal adjustment mechanism 13. Correspondingly, the formed workpiece can also be placed on the loading mechanism 15 by simply rotating the rotating mechanism. This greatly increases the functionality of the equipment. Of course, for different operating modes of the equipment, it can be set up and used according to the specifications of the actual processing plant to ensure the smooth operation of production and processing and meet the needs of use.
[0027] In the above process: the horizontal moving mechanism 2 and the vertical moving mechanism 3 can drive the transfer device to move and adjust at multiple positions in the horizontal direction to meet the needs of different production and processing work; the rotating mechanism can drive the two sets of transfer devices to rotate independently, and each is responsible for its corresponding work. That is, after the first set of transfer devices clamps the workpiece raw material, it is placed towards the stamping equipment. While the previous workpiece is being stamped, the second set of transfer devices clamps a workpiece raw material for standby. After the workpiece is stamped, the first set of transfer devices clamps the formed workpiece, and then the second set of transfer devices first places the substitute workpiece, and then drives the first set of transfer devices to put down the formed workpiece and clamp a new workpiece raw material. At this time, the second set of transfer devices moves to clamp and form the workpiece. At the location of the workpiece, another new workpiece material is placed, and so on. This allows the device to be effectively engaged in the stamping and transfer of workpieces. The clamping of workpiece material and the placement of formed workpieces can be carried out step by step in the above work process, making the operation smoother and the functionality stronger. The material-carrying mechanism 15 can not only receive and feed workpiece material, but also effectively receive and place and unload formed workpieces, providing convenient conditions for subsequent production and processing. This device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, and easy to process. In particular, it integrates the functions of placing workpiece material and removing formed workpieces, and the two operations can run independently without being restricted by each other, which greatly increases the functionality of the device, improves the work process, increases the utilization rate of production equipment, and fully meets the needs of use.
[0028] To effectively control the rotation of the two sets of transfer devices separately, thereby improving the utilization rate of the equipment and enhancing its functionality, the upper rotation assembly 6 includes a first hollow rotating platform 61 located below the carrier plate 5. A hollow rotating shaft 62 is installed at the output end of the first hollow rotating platform 61. An upper rotating frame 63 is installed around the outer periphery of the hollow rotating shaft 62. A second hollow rotating platform 64 is located below the other side of the upper rotating frame 63. Specifically, the rotation of the upper rotating frame 63 in the circumferential direction is controlled by the first hollow rotating platform 61, which controls its operation and drives the power to the hollow rotating shaft 62, allowing the upper rotating frame 63 to rotate synchronously with the hollow rotating shaft 62, achieving circumferential rotation adjustment. The second hollow rotating platform 64 allows the transfer device to rotate freely, enabling the reversal of equipment components and meeting different production and processing needs. Furthermore, the lower rotation assembly 7 includes components connected to the carrier plate 5... A rotating rod 71 is rotatably connected to and extends from the hollow rotating shaft 62. Furthermore, a bearing (not shown in the figure) is provided between the rotating rod 71 and the inner side of the hollow rotating shaft 62. A lower rotating frame 72 is provided at the lower end of the rotating rod 71, and a third hollow rotating platform 73 is provided on the other side of the lower rotating frame 72. Specifically, the upper part of the rotating rod 71 is rotatably connected to the carrier plate 5, and its lower part is stably connected to the lower part of the hollow rotating shaft 62, allowing relative rotation between the two to ensure the stability and smoothness of the device during operation. In addition, a motor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the upper outer side of the rotating rod 71 to provide driving power for the rotating rod 71. The rotating rod 71 can rotate relative to the hollow rotating shaft 62, driving the lower rotating frame 72 to rotate circumferentially. Its rotation does not interfere with the rotation of the upper rotating frame 63, thus fully ensuring the stability of the device operation, greatly increasing the frequency of device use, and improving the work process.
[0029] To further improve the stability of the device during operation, an annular groove 51 is provided in the carrier plate 5 located outside the first hollow rotating platform 61. A first limiting rod 16 is provided at the upper end of the upper rotating frame 63, and a first limiting wheel 161 is provided at the upper end of the first limiting rod 16. A second limiting rod 17 is provided at the upper end of the lower rotating frame 72, and a second limiting wheel 171 is provided at the upper end of the second limiting rod 17. The outer circumferences of the first limiting wheel 161 and the second limiting wheel 171 abut against the inner wall of the annular groove 51, respectively. Specifically, the first limiting rod 16 and the second limiting rod 17 are fixedly connected to the upper rotating frame 63 and the lower rotating frame 72, respectively. When the upper rotating frame 63 and the lower rotating frame 72 rotate, the first limiting rod 16 and the second limiting rod 17 can rotate with them. During this process, the first limiting wheel 161 and the second limiting wheel 171 can rotate circumferentially in the annular groove 51, which plays a limiting role to a certain extent and ensures the smoothness of operation.
[0030] To effectively adjust the vertical position of the rotating component 12 and other equipment, first racks 81 are provided on the outer periphery of both sides of the support frame 8. The vertical lifting mechanism 9 includes a translation frame 91 sleeved on the support frame 8, and a lifting frame 92 is provided between the two translation frames 91. Multiple first pulleys 93 arranged in a figure-eight pattern are provided on the upper and lower sides of the inner rear of the translation frame 91, and they abut against the outer periphery of the support frame 8. Second pulleys 94 arranged perpendicularly to the support frame 8 are provided on the upper sides of the translation frame 91 opposite to the first pulleys 93. A first gear 95 is also provided in the translation frame 91 and meshes with the first rack 81. Specifically, a motor for driving the first gear 95 to rotate is provided on the outer side of the translation frame 91. The purpose is to use the meshing between the first gear 95 and the first rack 81 to provide driving power for the vertical lifting mechanism 9 to move and adjust vertically. For the establishment of the first pulleys 93, a trapezoidal... The extension frame, with its unique design, facilitates the placement of the first pulley 93. A flat groove is provided on the outer side of the support frame 8 corresponding to the first pulley 93 to increase the contact area, ensuring smooth operation of the device. Furthermore, the second pulley 94 is positioned corresponding to the first pulley 93. A flat groove is also provided on the outer periphery of the support frame 8 corresponding to the second pulley 94 to increase the contact area between the second pulley 94 and the support frame 8, preventing deviation during lifting and adjustment, ensuring smooth operation, and meeting usage requirements. When the motor is running, the output power acts on the first gear 95, and through its meshing with the first rack 81, it effectively drives the lifting frame 92 to move vertically relative to the support frame 8, allowing for free adjustment of the device's vertical position, meeting different usage needs, and improving work efficiency.
[0031] To further improve the functionality of the device and allow for fine-tuning of the rotating component 12 in the horizontal direction, the lateral adjustment mechanism 10 includes an adjusting block 101 sleeved on the lifting frame 92. A third pulley 102 is provided at the outer corner of the adjusting block 101, abutting against the outer periphery of the lifting frame 92. A fourth pulley 103 is provided on the inner side of the adjusting block 101, abutting against the front end face of the lifting frame 92. A second rack 104 is located at the geometric center behind the lifting frame 92. A second gear 105 meshing with the second rack 104 is also provided inside the adjusting block 101. Specifically, multiple fourth pulleys 103 are also provided on the inner side of the adjusting block 101 near the rear end face of the lifting frame 92. In other words, multiple fourth pulleys 103 are also provided on the inner side of the adjusting block 101 near the rear end face of the lifting frame 92. Fourth pulleys 103 are provided at both corners of the 01, and they abut against the lifting frame 92 to prevent swaying during lateral adjustment. There are four third pulleys 102, arranged in pairs, located on the upper and lower sides of the lifting frame 92 and abutting against it to prevent vertical jumping of the adjusting block 101 during lateral adjustment. Furthermore, a motor for driving the second gear 105 to rotate is provided above one side of the mounting frame 11. In this way, the meshing between the second gear 105 and the second slide bar completes the horizontal movement adjustment of the adjusting block 101 relative to the lifting frame 92, providing convenient conditions for fine adjustment of equipment such as the rotating component 12, and fully meeting the usage requirements.
[0032] To effectively rotate the position of the robotic arm 14, enabling it to retrieve raw materials and return shaped workpieces, and especially to coordinate these operations with the loading mechanism 15, thereby improving the work process, the rotating assembly 12 includes a rotating frame 121 rotatably connected to the lower end of the mounting frame 11. A rotary drive motor 122 is mounted on one side of the mounting frame 11. In other words, both sides of the rotating frame 121 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 11. The rotary drive motor 122 is mounted on one side of the mounting frame 11, and its operation drives the rotation of the rotating frame 121. The rotating frame 121 rotates relative to the mounting frame 11, achieving a 90-degree rotation adjustment. When rotated vertically, it facilitates the robot arm 14 in picking up and placing materials from the loading mechanism 15. When rotated horizontally, it facilitates the robot arm 14 in picking up and placing materials into the stamping equipment, meeting different usage needs. Furthermore, to further improve the functionality of the device, allowing the robot arm 14 to adjust its movement horizontally or vertically to meet different production and processing needs, the longitudinal adjustment mechanism 13 includes a mechanism that can be adjusted relative to the rotating frame 121. The moving rod 131 has a third rack 132 on one side of its outer periphery. A third gear 133 meshes with the third rack 132 inside the rotating frame 121. Multiple fifth pulleys 134 arranged in a figure-eight pattern are also located on the upper and lower front sides of the rotating frame 121. Sixth pulleys 135, arranged perpendicularly to the moving rod 131, are located at the upper and lower ends of the other side of the rotating frame 121. Specifically, the third gear 133 is positioned corresponding to the connection point between the rotating frame 121 and the mounting frame 11. The rotating connection between the mounting brackets 11 adopts a hollow shaft. The shaft used to connect the third gear 133 passes through the hollow shaft, and a bearing is set between them to ensure the stability of the device. In this way, the rotation of the third gear 133 and the rotation of the rotating bracket 121 relative to the mounting bracket 11 do not affect each other, which greatly improves the functionality of the device. As for the connection between the fifth pulley 134, the sixth pulley 135 and the moving rod 131, the connection method is the same as that of the vertical lifting mechanism 9, which can ensure the stability of the device and realize the movement and adjustment in the corresponding direction, making it highly practical.
[0033] To effectively grip the raw material of the workpiece to be processed and remove the shaped workpiece, a fourth hollow rotating platform 18 is provided at the end of the moving rod 131. The operation of the fourth hollow rotating platform 18 drives the robot arm 14 to rotate circumferentially, ensuring that the robot arm 14 can grip the workpiece at a suitable angle and subsequently place it, thus improving the work process. Furthermore, the robot arm 14 includes a mounting base 141 connected to the fourth hollow rotating platform 18. A telescopic cylinder 142 is provided inside the mounting base 141, and a rotating gripper 143 is provided at the outer corner of the mounting base 141. An adapter block 144 is provided at the end of the rotating gripper 143 to adapt and fit the workpiece. Specifically, the rotating gripper 143 can rotate relative to the mounting base 141, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 142 is provided with a linkage mechanism (not shown in the figure), which acts on the rotating gripper 143 to achieve the desired gripping and placement of the workpiece. The inward or outward rotation of the rotating gripper 143 facilitates the gripping of the workpiece. Of course, regarding the linkage mechanism mentioned in this embodiment, the retraction of the telescopic cylinder 142 can drive the rotating gripper 143 to rotate inward; correspondingly, the ejection of the telescopic cylinder 142 can drive the rotating gripper 143 to rotate outward. The linkage mechanism in this process is a mature and commonly used technology, applied in most robotic arms 14. The specific working principle and method will not be elaborated further, as they are readily understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the adapter block 144 comprises upper and lower parts. The upper part is smaller in size, suitable for gripping raw workpieces, while the lower part is larger in size, suitable for gripping shaped workpieces. The inner side of the adapter block 144 is arc-shaped, effectively adapting to the gripping of workpieces and improving the functionality of the device.
[0034] To ensure the smooth operation of production and processing, the material-carrying mechanism 15 includes a carrier 151 with an inclined concave shape. It should be further explained that two sets of carriers 151 are arranged symmetrically at the center. One set of carriers 151 has a relatively small concave gap, while the other set has a relatively large concave gap. The smaller carrier 151 is used to receive the raw materials produced during production, with its inclination angle sloping downwards from the outside towards the support frame 1. The larger carrier 151 is used to receive the stamped and formed workpieces, with its inclination angle sloping downwards from the side closest to the support frame 1, facilitating the stacking of subsequent formed workpieces. To elaborate: One end of the carrier 151 is equipped with a material unloading platform, which includes a horizontally positioned workbench 152. A high support plate 153 and a low support plate 154 are respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the workbench 152. Both the high support plate 153 and the low support plate 154 have positioning grooves 155. Specifically, the upper surfaces of both the high support plate 153 and the low support plate 154 have inclined surfaces corresponding to the tilt direction of the carrier 151, extending from the other end of the positioning groove 155. That is, when the material blocking mechanism 20 removes its obstruction of the workpiece, the workpiece first slides down the inclined surface and into the positioning groove 155. Simultaneously, the workpiece is prevented from sliding further by the obstruction on the outside of the positioning groove 155. The workpiece is then stably positioned in the positioning slot 155, providing a prerequisite for subsequent workpiece loading and unloading and improving the work process. To ensure smooth workpiece sliding, a guide bar is installed inside the carrier 151 to guide its direction of travel and prevent deviation. A top-loading mechanism 19 is installed on the carrier 151 near the unloading platform. The top-loading mechanism 19 includes a top-loading cylinder 191 connected to the carrier 151, and a top-loading plate 192 is installed at the output end of the top-loading cylinder 191. A blocking mechanism 20 is installed on one side of the top-loading mechanism 19. The blocking mechanism 20 includes a blocking cylinder 201 connected to the carrier 151, and a blocking rod 202 is installed at the output end of the blocking cylinder 201. Specifically… The description is as follows: The top material mechanism 19 is positioned by the top material plate 192 pressing against the workpiece. That is, when the previous workpiece slides down, the workpiece behind it is in a relatively stable position. The blocking mechanism 20 acts as a barrier on the outer periphery of the workpiece. After the previous workpiece slides down, its operation is controlled, especially so that the blocking rod 202 spans across the frame 151. At this time, the top material mechanism 19 is opened, allowing the workpiece above to slide until a workpiece abuts against the blocking rod 202. Then, the top material mechanism 19 is reset to lock the adjacent workpiece and prevent it from sliding down, which greatly ensures the functionality of the device.
[0035] To facilitate convenient adjustment of the horizontal and vertical positions of the rotating mechanism and transfer device to meet different usage requirements, the horizontal moving mechanism 2 includes a rodless cylinder 21 housed within the support frame 1. The output end of the rodless cylinder 21 is connected to the upper part of the vertical moving mechanism 3, allowing the device to be moved and adjusted horizontally by the operation of the rodless cylinder 21 to meet usage needs. It should be further noted that, based on the establishment of the two left and right vertical moving mechanisms 3, the output end of the horizontal moving mechanism 2 can be connected to the aforementioned geometric center to ensure the stability of the device. Furthermore, the vertical... The moving mechanism 3 includes a longitudinal frame, with rotating wheels 32 arranged on both sides of the lower end of the longitudinal frame. A synchronous belt 33 is wound around the two rotating wheels 32, and the two ends of the synchronous belt 33 are respectively connected to the two sides of the moving block 4. A drive motor is arranged on the outside of one rotating wheel 32. Specifically, the operation of the drive motor drives the synchronous belt 33 to transport on the rotating wheel 32, and acts on the moving block 4, causing it to move and adjust freely on the longitudinal horizontal plane. It works in conjunction with the transverse moving mechanism 2 to move the device in multiple directions, thereby providing convenient conditions for the placement of workpiece raw materials and the removal of formed workpieces. It has strong functionality.
