Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of brake disc production and relates to a transfer system for a brake disc and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] Brake discs are divided into solid brake discs and ventilated discs according to their structure. A solid brake disc is a metal disc used for braking and has no special structure. Ventilated discs are divided into two forms, namely scored discs and perforated discs. The purpose of both treatment methods is to improve the cooling performance of the brake disc, reduce its thermal attenuation, and provide better braking ability. Brake discs are divided into two types according to the material: carbon fiber ceramic brake discs and metal brake discs. However, due to the excessively high manufacturing cost of carbon fiber ceramic brake discs and poor braking force at low temperatures, although they have excellent resistance to thermal attenuation, they are still not selected by most vehicles. In order to increase the resistance to thermal attenuation, some manufacturers also treat metal brake discs with carbon fiber to improve their capabilities in this area, while avoiding the problem of poor low-temperature performance of carbon fiber ceramic materials.

[0040] The present invention also provides a method of using a transfer system for a brake disc as described in any one of the above items, comprising the following steps:

[0041] S1, before the brake disc to be transported is placed on the conveyor belt, the swing plate is in the first state, the synchronous wheel and the transmission wheel are in the separated state, and the conveyor belt is in the stationary state;

[0042] S2, the brake disc is placed at the upstream end of the conveyor belt, and the upstream end of the swing plate swings downward under the gravity of the brake disc;

[0043] S3, the swing plate swings until it contacts the second stop block, at which point the locking mechanism automatically locks the first counterweight, and at the same time the synchronous wheel acts on the transmission wheel, the linkage wheel drives the synchronous wheel through the transmission wheel, and the synchronous wheel drives the conveyor belt to move, transporting the brake disc downstream;

[0044] S4, the brake disc moves from the conveyor belt to the continuously moving conveying part, and the conveying part conveys the brake disc downward;

[0045] S5, the brake disc acts on the unlocking lever and drives the unlocking lever to swing, and at the same time the unlocking lever unlocks the locking mechanism, allowing the second counterweight to rotate downward;

[0046] S6, the bottom of the downstream end of the swing plate abuts against the first stop block, the synchronous wheel and the transmission wheel are in a separated state, and after the brake disc passes over the unlocking rod, the unlocking rod returns to its original position.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a transfer system for brake discs. When transferring brake discs, before the brake discs are placed on the conveyor belt, the swing plate is in a first state, the synchronous wheel and the transmission wheel are separated, and the conveyor belt is stationary, which makes it easier for workers to place the brake discs.

[0048] Then the worker places the brake disc to the upstream end of the conveyor belt (either manually or with the help of other tools such as electric hoists and clamps). Then, under the weight of the brake disc, the upstream end of the swing plate swings downward. The swing plate swings until it hits the second end block. At this time, the locking mechanism automatically locks the first counterweight, and at the same time, the synchronous wheel acts on the transmission wheel, and the linkage wheel drives the synchronous wheel through the transmission wheel. The synchronous wheel drives the conveyor belt to move, transporting the brake disc downstream.

[0049] Afterwards, the brake disc can move from the conveyor belt to the continuously moving conveying part, and the conveying part conveys the brake disc downward; the brake disc acts on the unlocking lever and drives the unlocking lever to swing, and at the same time the unlocking lever unlocks the locking mechanism, so that the second counterweight can rotate downward; the bottom of the downstream end of the swing plate abuts against the first end block, and the synchronous wheel and the transmission wheel are in a separated state. After the brake disc passes over the unlocking lever, the unlocking lever returns to its original position and waits for the next use.

[0050] During the entire process of placing and transferring the brake disc, the placement operation is relatively convenient because the conveyor belt is in a stationary state when the brake disc is placed; secondly, after the brake disc is placed, the gravity of the brake disc can be used to drive the conveyor belt to rotate and transfer the brake disc to the conveying part; thirdly, during the subsequent transportation of the brake disc, the force of the brake disc is used to unlock the unlocking mechanism, so that the swing plate returns to the standby state. In this way, the entire process does not require workers to operate, the operation is less complicated, and the operation effect is better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0109] S4, the brake disc moves from the conveyor belt 14 to the continuously moving conveying portion 6, and the conveying portion 6 conveys the brake disc downward;

[0110] S5, the brake disc acts on the unlocking lever 20 and drives the unlocking lever 20 to swing. At the same time, the unlocking lever 20 unlocks the locking mechanism, so that the second counterweight 38 can rotate downward;

[0111] S6, the bottom of the downstream end of the swing plate 11 abuts against the first stop block 16, the synchronous wheel 19 and the transmission wheel 9 are in a separated state, and after the brake disc passes over the unlocking rod 20, the unlocking rod 20 returns to its original position.

[0112] The present invention provides a transfer system for brake discs and a method for using the same. When transferring brake discs, first, before the brake discs to be transferred are placed on the conveyor belt 14, the swing plate 11 is in a first state, the synchronous wheel 19 and the transmission wheel 9 are in a separated state, and the conveyor belt 14 is in a stationary state, which makes it easier for workers to place the brake discs.

[0113] Then the worker places the brake disc on the upstream end of the conveyor belt 14 (either manually or with the help of other tools such as an electric hoist and a clamp), and then the upstream end of the swing plate 11 swings downward under the weight of the brake disc; the swing plate 11 swings until it contacts the second end block 17, at which time the locking mechanism automatically locks the first counterweight 15, and at the same time the synchronous wheel 19 acts on the transmission wheel 9, the linkage wheel 7 drives the synchronous wheel 19 through the transmission wheel 9, and the synchronous wheel 19 drives the conveyor belt 14 to move, transporting the brake disc downstream;

[0114] Afterwards, the brake disc can move from the conveyor belt 14 to the continuously moving conveying part 6, and the conveying part 6 conveys the brake disc downward; the brake disc acts on the unlocking lever 20 and drives the unlocking lever 20 to swing, and at the same time the unlocking lever 20 unlocks the locking mechanism, so that the second counterweight body 38 can rotate downward; the bottom of the downstream end of the swing plate 11 abuts against the first end block 16, and the synchronous wheel 19 and the transmission wheel 9 are in a separated state. After the brake disc passes the unlocking lever 20, the unlocking lever 20 returns to its original position and waits for continued use next time.

[0115] During the entire process of placing and transferring the brake disc, the conveyor belt 14 is in a stationary state when placing the brake disc, so the placement operation is relatively convenient; secondly, after the brake disc is placed, the gravity of the brake disc can be used to drive the conveyor belt 14 to rotate and transfer the brake disc to the conveying part 6; secondly, during the subsequent transportation of the brake disc, the force of the brake disc is used to unlock the unlocking mechanism, so that the swing plate 11 returns to the standby state. In this way, the entire process does not require workers to operate, the operation is less complicated, and the operation effect is better.

[0116] In actual use, clicking continuously drives the conveyor shaft 2, conveyor wheel 4, conveyor belt 5, conveying portion 6, and transmission wheel 9 to rotate; the conveyor belt 5 can be either a chain or a belt, and the conveyor wheel 4 matches the conveyor belt 5 (the conveyor belt 14 and the upper and lower wheels 12 and 13 can also be a combination of chains and sprockets or a combination of belts and pulleys); during the process of conveying the brake disc, the support bar 23 can support the conveyor belt 5, thereby improving its load-bearing effect. At the same time, the outer wall of the transmission wheel 9 preferably has a layer of structure that increases resistance, such as a rubber or silicone layer. This can improve the transmission effect and prevent slipping. Secondly, it can also act as a buffer to prevent excessive impact between the transmission wheel 9 and the synchronous wheel 19.

[0117] Before the brake disc is placed, the first counterweight 15 has a certain mass, so that the conveyor belt 14 is in an inclined state (with a small inclination angle); then, after the brake disc is placed, since the distance between the upstream wheel 12 and the swing column 10 is large, the upstream wheel 12 can swing downward under the action of the lever and the gravity of the brake disc; during the swinging process of the swing plate 11, the first counterweight 15 swings upward, and during the swinging process, the upper side of the free end of the first counterweight 15 will contact the inclined part of the lower side of the free end of the locking member 26. The locking member 26 moves upward, moving away from the first counterweight 15 until the swing plate 11 swings to a horizontal state. At this time, the locking member 26 is exactly opposite the locking groove 31, and the upstream end of the swing plate 11 contacts the second end block 17. At this time, the locking member 26 moves under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, so that the free end of the locking member 26 is inserted into the locking groove 31. At this time, the top of the locking groove 31 is horizontal, and the top of the locking member 26 is also horizontal. In this way, the locking member 26 can automatically lock the first counterweight 15. In the above process, under the action of the second counterweight 38 and the first end seat 39, the unlocking rod 20 and the unlocking arm 37 are kept in position, and the unlocking member 34 is also kept in position.

[0118] The inertia of the brake disc and the swing plate 11 causes an impact between the synchronous wheel 19 and the transmission wheel 9. This impact creates sufficient interaction force between the synchronous wheel 19 and the transmission wheel 9, meaning they are not simply in contact but rather have a certain amount of contact, allowing the transmission wheel 9 to normally drive the conveyor belt 14 and transport the brake disc. When the brake disc moves over the swing column 10, although the brake disc and the first counterweight 15 are on the same side of the swing column 10, the locking member 26 locks the first counterweight 15, so the swing plate 11 cannot move, and can only continue to transport the brake disc forward.

[0119] After the brake disc moves to the downstream end of the conveyor belt 14, it can move to the conveying part 6 at the upstream end with the assistance of the transition wheel 21, wherein the conveying part 6 is preferably a rubber wheel, which not only protects the brake disc and prevents scratches, but also generates sufficient force between the brake disc and the unlocking rod 20 so that the brake disc can drive the unlocking rod 20 to swing.

[0120] When the brake disc moves to the conveying part 6, the locking member 26 at this time still locks the first counterweight body 15; then when the brake disc acts on the free end of the unlocking rod 20, it can drive the unlocking rod 20 to swing downward. During the swinging of the unlocking rod 20, the unlocking arm 37 is moved upward, and at the same time, the unlocking member 34 is driven upward, and the top of the unlocking member 34 acts on the unlocking inclined surface 33, so that the locking member 26 moves in the direction away from the first counterweight body 15, and when the unlocking rod 20 swings to the maximum angle, the locking member 26 disengages from the locking groove 31. At this time, under the action of the first counterweight body 15, the downstream end of the swing plate 11 swings downward.

[0121] When the brake disc passes the unlocking rod 20, the unlocking arm 37 moves downward under the action of the gravity of the second counterweight 38, and the unlocking rod 20 moves upward until the unlocking rod 20 abuts against the first end seat 39; at the same time, under the action of the elastic member 30, the locking member 26 moves outward until the synchronization portion 28 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating groove 29, and the unlocking member 34 moves downward until the top of the dovetail groove 42 abuts against the top of the dovetail bar 41. At this time, all structures are returned to their positions, waiting for the next delivery of the brake disc. Therefore, the entire process, whether it is the rotation of the swing plate 11, the rotation of the conveyor belt 14, the return of the swing plate 11, the locking and unlocking of the first counterweight 15 are all carried out automatically, without the need for workers to operate, that is, the workers only need to swing the brake disc to the upstream end of the conveyor belt 5 during the entire process, and the operation is very convenient.

[0122] The distance between the unlocking lever 20 and the rotating rod 36 is greater than the distance between the free end of the unlocking arm 37 and the rotating rod 36, and the difference between the two is relatively large (preferably a five-fold difference, but other ratios can be selected based on actual conditions). Therefore, based on the principle of leverage, the brake disc can drive the unlocking arm 37 and the unlocking member 34 upward without excessive force, and after driving the locking member 26 to move, unlock the first counterweight 15. The first stop seat 39 prevents the unlocking lever 20 from rotating excessively, while the second stop seat 40 preferably limits the unlocking arm 37 during unlocking, preventing it from rotating excessively. Furthermore, during use, the first and second drag reducing posts 43, 44 can both reduce the resistance between the corresponding structures, making the unlocking process easier.

[0123] The pushing portion 22 on the conveyor belt 14 not only prevents relative sliding between the brake disc and the conveyor belt 5 when placing the brake disc, but also provides sufficient thrust to move the brake disc from the conveyor belt 14 to the conveying portion 6, thereby ensuring conveying stability.

[0124] It should also be noted that all “disposed” and similar descriptive words in this application (especially in the specification) express that there is or exists a connection relationship between two structures, but the specific means by which the two are connected are not too limited, and are generally conventional connection means, that is, it should be understood that the means are prior art and do not need to be elaborated on. For example, “n is disposed on m” simply expresses that structure n is present on structure m, and the two are specifically connected by welding, riveting, adhesive bonding or integral molding, which are all within the scope of protection of this application; for another example, “y is rotatably disposed on x” simply expresses that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by bearings, or y directly passes through x and is connected to x by rotation, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0125] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
