[0015] A method for using an automatic feeding mechanism for a brake pad steel back structure in the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: The staff places the steel back sheets to be used in sequence between several adjacent partitions inside the storage tank, and the two ends of the steel back sheets are respectively slidably installed in the guide grooves on the opposite surfaces of the guide plates at both ends. When in use, the steel back sheets inside the storage tank can automatically move down to load materials by their own weight, and the steel back sheets can be accurately moved down to the designated position by the guidance of the guide plates;

[0017] Step 2: When in use, a plurality of partitions divide the interior of the storage tank into a plurality of separate storage spaces, the bottom end of one of the two adjacent storage spaces is interconnected with the feed hole, and the bottom end of the other storage space abuts against the top of the machine body, and the steel back sheet located at the bottom of the storage space above the feed hole falls into the feed hole by its own weight, and the two ends of the steel back sheet are respectively located at the top of the support rod and the sponge sleeve;

[0018] Step 3: The staff places the brake pads to be used on the top of the conveyor belt in turn, and the motor drives several conveyor belts on the top to move.

[0019] Step 4: The electric roller drives one end of the steel back sheet to move to the bottom of the sponge sleeve through the sponge sleeve on it, and drives the steel back sheet inside the feed hole to fall between the two limit plates through the downward pressure of several steel back sheets inside the upper storage tank, and the two limit plates support and guide the two ends of the steel back sheet;

[0020] Step 5: The hydraulic cylinder pushes the steel back sheet out of the discharge hole through the moving plate, and squeezes the brake pad and the steel back sheet against each other. When the steel back sheet inside the storage space above the feed hole is used up, the staff drives the storage box to move through the electric slider, so that the bottom of the remaining storage space is connected to the feed hole, and the steel back sheet inside the storage space will be automatically loaded and transported again.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] When in use, the bottom end of one of the two adjacent storage spaces of the present invention is connected with the installation cavity inside the machine body through the feed hole, while the bottom end of the other storage space is abutted against the top of the machine body, and the steel back sheet inside the storage space connected with the feed hole moves downward by its own weight, and the steel back sheet located at the bottom of the storage space will fall into the inside of the feed hole, and the two ends of the steel back sheet located inside the feed hole are respectively located at the top ends of the outer walls of the support rod and the sponge sleeve of the outer wall of the electric roller. When in use, the support rod and the sponge sleeve can play a good supporting role for the steel back sheet, and the electric roller drives the steel back sheet to fall into the inside of the installation cavity, so as to realize the effect of automatic loading of the steel back sheet. When in use, the stored steel back sheet can fall to the specified position on the side of the brake pad, which is convenient for connecting and installing the brake pad and the steel back sheet. When in use, several steel back sheets can be moved to the side of the discharge hole at the same time, and efficient automatic loading of the steel back sheet can be realized by the rotation of the electric roller.

[0023] In the present invention, after the steel back sheets inside the storage space interconnected with the feed hole are used up, the electric slider can drive the storage box to move on the top of the machine body, so that the remaining storage space containing the steel back sheets is interconnected with the feed hole, and the steel back sheets inside the storage slot are automatically loaded into the installation cavity, and the staff can place the steel back sheets to be used from the outside into the idle storage space inside the storage slot again. When in use, the steel back sheets inside the storage slot can be taken out and loaded for use continuously and uninterruptedly, thereby improving the automatic loading efficiency of the steel back sheets and the efficiency of connecting and installing the steel back sheets and the brake pads.

[0024] In the present invention, the staff adjusts the positions of the two electric sliders located inside the slide groove at the top of the body, and pushes the storage box to rotate around the support rod until the storage box rotates to the top of the body. At the same time, the top ends of the two electric sliders located on the top of the body are respectively inserted into the card slots at both ends of the bottom of the storage box when the storage box rotates to the top of the body. The body and the storage box are connected by the electric sliders. During use, the staff can adjust the position of the storage box according to the usage.

[0025] When in use, the present invention places the brake pad between two adjacent limit strips on the top of the conveyor belt. The two adjacent limit strips can play a good role in limiting the position of the brake pad, preventing the brake pad located on the top of the conveyor belt from sliding back and forth when the conveyor belt moves. When in use, it is convenient for the staff to accurately move the brake pad to the side of the discharge hole through the conveyor belt, and it is convenient for the brake pad to be accurately connected and fixed to the steel back plate. When in use, it is convenient for the staff to connect and fix multiple brake pads and steel back plates at the same time, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the steel back plate and the production efficiency of the brake pad. When the brake pad is conveyed, the clamping plate cooperates with the inner wall of the conveying trough, which can play a good role in protecting and limiting the position of both sides of the brake pad.

[0047] A method for using an automatic feeding mechanism for a brake pad steel back structure in the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: The staff sequentially places the steel back sheets to be used between several adjacent partitions 5 inside the storage tank 4, and the two ends of the steel back sheets are respectively slidably installed in the guide grooves 28 on the opposite surfaces of the guide plates 26 at both ends. When in use, the steel back sheets inside the storage tank 4 can automatically move down to load by their own weight, and the steel back sheets can be accurately moved down to the designated position by the guidance of the guide plates 26;

[0049] Step 2: When in use, a plurality of partitions 5 divide the interior of the storage tank 4 into a plurality of separate storage spaces, the bottom end of one of the two adjacent storage spaces is communicated with the feed hole 14, and the bottom end of the other storage space is in contact with the top of the machine body 1, and the steel back sheet located at the bottom of the storage space above the feed hole 14 falls into the feed hole 14 by its own weight, and the two ends of the steel back sheet are respectively located at the top of the support rod 22 and the sponge cover 20;

[0050] Step 3: The staff places the brake pads to be used on the top of the conveyor belt 11 in sequence, and the motor 16 drives the several conveyor belts 11 on the top to move. When the brake pads move, the inner wall of the conveying trough 3 and the clamping plate 7 cooperate with each other to limit the two sides of the brake pads until the several brake pads on the top of the conveyor belt 11 move to the sides of the several discharge holes 15 respectively;

[0051] Step 4: The electric roller 21 drives one end of the steel back sheet to move to the bottom of the sponge cover 20 through the sponge cover 20 thereon, and drives the steel back sheet in the feed hole 14 to fall between the two limit plates 18 through the downward pressure of the steel back sheets in the upper storage tank 4, and the two limit plates 18 support and guide the two ends of the steel back sheet;

[0052] Step 5: The hydraulic cylinder 24 pushes the steel back sheet out of the discharge hole 15 through the movable plate 25, and squeezes the brake pad and the steel back sheet against each other. When the steel back sheet inside the storage space above the feed hole 14 is used up, the staff drives the storage box 2 to move through the electric slider 13, so that the bottom of the remaining storage space is connected to the feed hole 14, and the steel back sheet inside the storage space will be automatically loaded and transported again.

[0053] When the present invention is used, the staff adjusts the position of the two electric sliders 13 located inside the slide groove 12 at the top of the body 1, and pushes the storage box 2 so that the storage box 2 rotates around the support rod 10 until the storage box 2 rotates to the top of the body 1. At the same time, the top ends of the two electric sliders 13 located at the top of the body 1 are respectively inserted into the card slots 27 at both ends of the bottom of the storage box 2 when the storage box 2 rotates to the top of the body 1. The body 1 and the storage box 2 are connected through the electric sliders 13. When in use, the staff can adjust the position of the storage box 2 according to the use situation. When in use, the stored steel back sheet is located between two adjacent partitions 5, and the two ends of the steel back sheet are respectively located inside the guide grooves 28 on the guide plates 26 on the opposite surfaces of the two partitions 5. When in use, the guide plates 26 can play a better position limiting role in the storage position of the steel back sheet through the guide grooves 28 thereon. At the same time, when the steel back sheet moves down in the storage slot 4 by its own weight, it can play a better guiding role in the movement of the steel back sheet.

[0054] The staff stacks the steel back sheets to be used in sequence between several adjacent partitions 5 on the inner wall of the storage slot 4 inside the storage box 2. Several partitions 5 divide the interior of the storage slot 4 into several storage spaces for storing the steel back sheets. When in use, the bottom end of one of the two adjacent storage spaces is interconnected with the installation cavity 23 inside the machine body 1 through the feed hole 14, and the bottom end of the other storage space abuts against the top of the machine body 1. The steel back sheets inside the storage space interconnected with the feed hole 14 move downward by their own weight, and the steel back sheets at the bottom of the storage space will fall into the inside of the feed hole 14, and the two ends of the steel back sheets inside the feed hole 14 are respectively located at the top of the outer wall of the support rod 22 and the outer wall of the sponge cover 20 of the electric roller 21. When in use, the support rod 22 and the sponge cover 20 can play a good supporting role for the steel back sheets.

[0055] When in use, the staff sequentially places the brake pads to be used on the top of the conveyor belt 11 located inside the conveying trough 3, and the staff places the brake pads between two adjacent limit strips on the top of the conveyor belt 11. The two adjacent limit strips can play a good role in limiting the position of the brake pads, preventing the brake pads located on the top of the conveyor belt 11 from sliding back and forth when the conveyor belt 11 moves. When in use, it is convenient for the staff to accurately move the brake pads to the side of the discharge hole 15 through the conveyor belt 11, and facilitate the accurate connection and fixation of the brake pads and the steel backing sheet. When in use, the staff can adjust the position between the two adjacent brake pads placed on the top of the conveyor belt 11, so that several brake pads on the top of the conveyor belt 11 can correspond to several discharge holes 15 respectively. When in use, it is convenient for the staff to simultaneously connect and fix multiple brake pads and steel backing sheets, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the steel backing sheet and the production efficiency of the brake pads.

[0056] When in use, the motor 16 drives the conveyor belt 11 to rotate inside the placement groove 17 through the transmission roller 19, and drives a plurality of brake pads to move inside the conveying groove 3. When the brake pad is conveyed, a plurality of springs 29 located on the side of the protective plate 6 can drive the clamping plate 7 to move toward the brake pad at the top of the conveyor belt 11 through their own elasticity. When the brake pad is conveyed, the clamping plate 7 cooperates with the inner wall of the conveying groove 3, which can play a good role in protecting and limiting the position of the two sides of the brake pad. When in use, the clamping plate 7, the inner wall of the conveying groove 3 and the limiting strips located at both ends of the brake pad cooperate with each other, which can respectively limit the position of the two sides and two ends of the brake pad, so that when the brake pad is conveyed at the top of the conveyor belt 11, the brake pad and the top of the conveyor belt 11 are perpendicular to each other, but because of the stretchability of the spring 29, the clamping plate 7 and the inner wall of the conveying groove 3 will not clamp the two sides of the brake pad, but only play a role in limiting the position, so it will not affect the conveying of the brake pad.

[0057] When the brake pad moves to the side of the discharge hole 15, the electric roller 21 drives the sponge cover 20 on its outer wall to rotate, and the sponge cover 20 can drive the top steel back sheet located at the top of the outer wall of the sponge cover 20 to rotate in the direction of the support rod 22, until the sponge cover 20 drives the end of the steel back sheet close to the electric roller 21 to rotate between the support rod 22 and the sponge cover 20, and the end of the steel back sheet close to the sponge cover 20 is lower than the end of the steel back sheet close to the top of the support rod 22, and the end of the steel back sheet between the support rod 22 and the sponge cover 20 will drive The steel back sheet is moved to fall into the installation cavity 23, and the remaining steel back sheets in the storage tank 4 slightly press down on the end of the fallen steel back sheet close to the support rod 22, driving the steel back sheet to fall into the installation cavity 23, realizing the effect of automatic loading of the steel back sheet. When in use, the stored steel back sheet can fall on the designated position on the side of the brake pad, which is convenient for connecting and installing the brake pad and the steel back sheet. When in use, several steel back sheets can be moved to the side of the discharge hole 15 at the same time, and the automatic loading of the steel back sheet can be realized by rotating the electric roller 21. When in use, the staff can adjust the number of steel back sheets stored in the storage tank 4 to prevent the support rod 22 and the steel back sheets in the storage tank 4 from clamping the fallen steel back sheet due to the large number of steel back sheets in the storage tank 4, which leads to a heavy overall weight.

[0058] When in use, the support rod 22 and the sponge cover 20 are respectively located at the two ends of the inner wall of the feed hole 14. When the sponge cover 20 drives the steel back sheet to move in the direction of the support rod 22, the end of the steel back sheet close to the support rod 22 will abut against the inner wall of the feed hole 14 as it moves. When the sponge cover 20 continues to drive the steel back sheet to move, because the surface texture of the sponge cover 20 is relatively soft, the friction between the surface of the sponge cover 20 and the surface of the steel back sheet will drive the end of the steel back sheet close to the electric roller 21 to sink into the surface of the sponge cover 20, and the sponge cover 20 An extrusion groove will be formed due to the extrusion of the steel back sheet, and the formed extrusion groove will move toward the bottom of the sponge cover 20 through the end of the steel back sheet close to the sponge cover 20, and when the end of the steel back sheet close to the sponge cover 20 rotates downward, the steel back sheet will rotate slightly with the abutment position of the support rod 22 as the center, and the end of the steel back sheet located at the top of the support rod 22 will appear to be tilted, and several steel back sheets located inside the storage slot 4 will press down the end of the steel back sheet located at the top of the support rod 22, so that the steel back sheet falls into the inside of the installation cavity 23.

[0059] When the steel back sheet falls, because the end of the steel back sheet close to the sponge cover 20 is located at the bottom, the end of the steel back sheet close to the sponge cover 20 will abut against the inner bottom of the installation cavity 23, and the two ends of the steel back sheet are respectively located at the top of the two limit plates 18. When in use, the two limit plates 18 can provide good support for the steel back sheet. When the steel back sheet falls through the rotation of the sponge cover 20, the sponge cover 20 can also adjust the position of the fallen steel back sheet to prevent the two ends of the steel back sheet from flipping when the steel back sheet is connected to the brake pad.

[0060] The hydraulic cylinder 24 pushes the moving plate 25 to move, and the moving plate 25 can push the steel backing plate located inside the installation cavity 23 to move toward the discharge hole 15, and move out of the discharge hole 15 to squeeze the side of the brake pad. When squeezing the brake pad, the steel backing plate and the brake pad will push the clamping plate 7 at the same time, so that the side of the clamping plate 7 away from the brake pad abuts against the protective plate 6. When in use, the clamping plate 7 and the moving plate 25 can cooperate with each other to clamp the brake pad and the steel backing plate. When in use, the brake pad can be connected and fixed to the brake pad through the adhesive layer on the surface of the brake pad.

[0061] When the steel back sheets in the storage space interconnected with the feed hole 14 are used up, the electric slider 13 can drive the storage box 2 to move on the top of the machine body 1, so that the remaining storage space containing the steel back sheets is interconnected with the feed hole 14, and the steel back sheets in the storage slot 4 are automatically loaded into the installation cavity 23, and the staff can place the steel back sheets to be used from the outside again in the idle storage space in the storage slot 4. When in use, the steel back sheets in the storage slot 4 can be taken and loaded continuously, thereby improving the automatic loading efficiency of the steel back sheets and the efficiency of connecting and installing the steel back sheets and the brake pads.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
