Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cold heading machines, in particular to a manipulator device for a multi-station cold heading machine. Background Art
[0002] Cold heading machine is a special equipment mainly used for batch production of nuts, bolts and other fasteners. The head of bolts and screws is forged by cold forging method, which can minimize cutting work and directly form them into required shapes and sizes. It can not only save a lot of materials, but also greatly improve production efficiency and significantly improve the mechanical strength of the forged parts.
[0003] The traditional multi-station cold heading machine manipulator device has only a single clamping function, that is, in the product manufacturing process, the manipulator simply translates the semi-finished product of the previous station to the next station, and the semi-finished product cannot be flipped during the translation process. Therefore, this structure can only complete simple products such as hexagonal head bolts for cold heading machines with multiple stations, but for complex products, it is necessary to replace the transmission translation device. There is now a manipulator device applied to the cold heading machine. By fixing the gear plate and the moving gear, the manipulator below flips 180° when it swings once in the form of a deflected rotating gear, which solves the traditional problem. However, this type of device can only meet one use requirement. In the actual production and manufacturing of the workpiece, a 90° flip is also required, such as the production of special-shaped nuts. If such a requirement is to be met, a long period of shutdown is required to replace the clamping device, and debugging and other work are also required. The operation is cumbersome. Therefore, the existing cold heading machine manipulator device is still insufficient in scope of application and practicality, and its actual use needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0037] The auxiliary component includes: a plate one 18 and an electric push rod 24. The plate one 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the switching plate 4. The end of the plate one 18 is fixedly connected to a plate two 19. The plate two 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the switching plate 4. Two rack rows 20 are fixedly connected to the surface of the plate two 19. A switching rod 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the switching plate 4. A switching gear 22 is fixedly connected to the rod wall of the switching rod 21. The teeth of the switching gear 22 are meshed with the teeth of the rack row 20. A clamping rod 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the switching rod 21. The electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the switching plate 4. The output end of the electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the plate one 18. The electric push rod 24 is electrically connected to the central controller 6 by a signal.
[0038] The size of the gear 8 is adapted to the size of the arc-shaped toothed plate 9. Five signal lamps 35 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket 1, and the five signal lamps 35 are all electrically and signal-connected to the central controller 6.
[0039] More specifically, in this embodiment: This device can be installed at the transmission part of a multi-station cold heading machine. During the production process of the cold heading machine, the initial position of the gear 8 is located in the lower area of the arc-shaped toothed plate 9. With the operation of the cold heading machine, the workpiece is clamped by the gripper assembly 5. When in use, the power output of the cold heading machine reaches the power swing arm 2, causing the power swing arm 2 to swing reciprocally. This kind of swing is a prior art, and the specific principle will not be elaborated here. During the reciprocal swing of the power swing arm 2, through the transmission of the rotating shaft 10, the lower gripper assembly 5 transports the workpiece, meeting the production requirements of the daily multi-station cold heading machine. During the reciprocal swing of the power swing arm 2, at this time, the connecting rod 12 deflects reciprocally synchronously during this process, and through the reciprocal deflection of the rotating shaft 10, the gear 8 performs a reciprocal displacement along an arc trajectory. During the arc trajectory displacement of the gear 8, it will cooperate with the arc-shaped toothed plate 9, causing the gripper assembly 5 to rotate self during the arc trajectory displacement, so that after one displacement, it rotates 180°, and the clamped workpiece can be flipped. If it is necessary to flip 90°, the central controller 6 can be used to start the two cylinders 3, causing the switching plate 4 to displace vertically. Through the vertical displacement of the switching plate 4, each switching rod 21 can be synchronously driven to displace vertically. Taking the position of a single switching rod 21 as an example, during its vertical downward movement, through the clamping rod 23, the switching block two 16 will be synchronously caused to move vertically downward. Through the vertical downward movement of the switching block two 16, the connecting cylinder 13 will be caused to move vertically downward, and thus through the transmission of the connecting cylinder 13, the main body 7 and the arc-shaped toothed plate 9 on the main body 7 will move vertically downward. During this process, the switching block one 15 is synchronously driven to slide along the groove wall of the displacement groove 14, causing the switching spring 17 here to be compressed. After the arc-shaped toothed plate 9 moves vertically downward, the gear 8 will transfer from the lower area of the arc-shaped toothed plate 9 to the upper area of the arc-shaped toothed plate 9. At this time, during the subsequent workpiece transportation process, the gear 8 will cooperate with the upper half of the teeth of the arc-shaped toothed plate 9, that is, when the gear 8 displaces, it only rotates 90°, and the circumferential displacement in the second half of the path will cooperate with the rectangular empty groove 11, causing the gear 8 not to rotate self;
[0040] Through the above method, when the gripper assembly 5 transfers the workpiece, there are two implementation methods of 180° and similar 90°, so as to expand the applicable requirements of the equipment, and the sides of some special-shaped nuts can also be conveniently processed;
[0041] In actual use, when the workpieces transferred in batches are different, the electric push rod 24 can also be controlled by the central controller 6. That is, during the vertical downward movement of the switching plate 4, the station gripper assembly 5 that does not need to be adjusted can be regulated, so that the push rod head of the electric push rod 24 at this place extends, so that the first plate 18 is displaced, and then the second plate 19 is displaced. Thus, through the transmission of the second plate 19, the two rack rows 20 are displaced, and the two switching gears 22 can be made to rotate self - sufficiently during this process, and then the two switching rods 21 rotate self - sufficiently, so that the two clamping rods 23 rotate self - sufficiently. During the self - rotation of the two clamping rods 23, they will be separated from the top surface area of the second switching block 16. At this time, when the clamping rod 23 moves vertically downward, it will no longer push the arc - shaped toothed plate 9 at this station to move vertically downward through the second switching block 16;
[0042] In this way, the manipulators at each station can not only move downward synchronously to achieve synchronous adjustment work, but also move downward separately to achieve separate adjustment. When multiple workpieces are conveyed, the workpieces with different specifications can be controlled separately, making the device more applicable. And through the setting of the signal lamp 35, the status of each station can be reminded in real time. For example, the yellow light is on for the station with 180° flipping, and the red light is on for the station with about 90° flipping. In this way, the practicability can be further improved.
[0043] Embodiment 2, on the basis of the above - mentioned embodiment:
[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , the calibration component includes: two arc - shaped grooves 25, both of the two arc - shaped grooves 25 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 7, a calibration rod 26 is fixedly connected to the groove walls of the two arc - shaped grooves 25, the rod wall of the calibration rod 26 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 12, the end of the calibration rod 26 is drivingly connected to the shaft wall of the rotating shaft 10 through a pulley assembly 27, a sliding seat 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 7, a slider 29 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 28, both sides of the slider 29 are connected to the inner wall of the sliding seat 28 through connecting springs 30, a displacement rod 31 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 29, a retaining ring 32 is fixedly connected to the end of the displacement rod 31, two friction pads 33 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the retaining ring 32, and a friction wheel 34 is fixedly connected to the rod wall of the calibration rod 26.
[0045] The friction pad 33 is made of rubber material, and the surface of the friction pad 33 is provided with wavy patterns.
[0046] More specifically, in this embodiment: during the circular arc deflection of the rotating shaft 10, the connecting rod 12 on each workstation performs synchronous movement during this process, so that the calibration rod 26 also performs synchronous circular arc trajectory displacement. At the same time, since the calibration rod 26 and the rotating shaft 10 are driven by the pulley assembly 27, the calibration rod 26 and the gripper assembly 5 maintain synchronous rotation. When the workstation performs a 180° deflection, the calibration rod 26 synchronously slides along the groove walls of the two arc grooves 25. During this process, the friction wheel 34 approaches the lower arc groove 25. At this time, the arc trajectory movement of the calibration rod 26 will only cause the rod wall and the gripper assembly 5 to move in the path. The collar 32 contacts the calibration rod 26, and the contact surface is the non-friction pad 33 on the collar 32, that is, the collar 32 does not provide correction for the self-rotation of the calibration rod 26 during this process. When the station is deflected by 90°, due to the vertical displacement of the body 7, the friction wheel 34 is relatively close to the upper arc groove 25 in this state. At this time, the arc trajectory movement of the calibration rod 26 will cause the collar 32 to block the friction wheel 34. After completing the 90° deflection, the friction wheel 34 contacts the collar 32, and then the arc displacement of the friction wheel 34 will push the collar 32 to move. Since the collar 32 is synchronously restricted by the slider 29 and the displacement rod 31, the friction wheel When the friction wheel 34 is displaced in the second half, it will not be able to rotate due to the close fit with the two friction pads 33. In this process, it will only push the clamping ring 32 to displace, that is, the displacement rod 31 is displaced through the clamping ring 32, and the slider 29 slides along the inner wall of the slide seat 28 through the transmission of the displacement rod 31. At the same time, since the movement trajectory of the friction wheel 34 is an arc, the displacement rod 31 will also slide along the inner wall of the slider 29 during this process. During this process, the two connecting springs 30 are deformed, and at this stage, the lower gear 8 will displace along the area where the rectangular slot 11 is located. Since the opening direction of the clamping ring 32 remains unchanged at this stage, the friction The rubbing wheel 34 cannot rotate on its own. Even if the calibration rod 26 is displaced in the second half of the arc trajectory during this process, it will be reversely deflected relative to the arc groove 25, that is, after the rotating shaft 1O is deflected 90°, it is displaced in the arc on the second half of the path. The orientation of the lower gripper assembly 5 will remain unchanged and will not shift slightly with the arc displacement in the second half. The friction pad 33 made of rubber can restrict the friction wheel 34 well after it contacts the friction wheel 34, and no relative rotation will occur between the friction wheel 34 and the friction pad 33. The friction between the two is further enhanced by the opening of the wavy pattern.
[0047] Through the above-mentioned method, by utilizing the cooperation between the friction wheel 34 and the friction pad 33, the gripper assembly 5 can flip the workpiece by 90° or 180°. After flipping, the axis of the workpiece is located on the same horizontal line, that is, relative to the workpiece, its position only undergoes axial displacement. In this way, the cold heading position of the side of the workpiece clamped by the gripper assembly 5 will not deviate too much from the center, thereby further improving the scope of application.
[0048] Working principle: When the manipulator device for a multi-station cold heading machine is in use, with the operation of the cold heading machine, the workpiece is clamped by the claw assembly 5. When in use, the power output of the cold heading machine is transmitted to the power swing arm 2, causing the power swing arm 2 to swing reciprocally. During the reciprocal swing of the power swing arm 2, through the transmission of the rotating shaft 10, the lower claw assembly 5 transports the workpiece, meeting the production requirements of the daily multi-station cold heading machine. During the circular arc trajectory displacement of the gear 8, it will cooperate with the arc-shaped tooth plate 9, causing the claw assembly 5 to rotate self-reliantly during the circular arc trajectory displacement. Thus, after one displacement, it rotates 180°, and the workpiece clamped by it can be flipped. The signal lamp 35 on this station lights up yellow. When it is necessary to flip the workpiece by 90°, it can be controlled through the central controller 6, causing the electric push rod 24 on the station that needs to be flipped by 90° to be driven, causing the two clamping rods 23 at this station to rotate self-reliantly and disengage from the top surface area of the switching block two 16. Subsequently, the central controller 6 drives the two cylinders 3, causing the switching plate 4 to displace vertically. Through the vertical displacement of the switching plate 4, the switching rod 21 can be driven to displace vertically synchronously, thereby pushing the switching block two 16 on the station that needs to be flipped by 90° to move downward, and further causing the arc-shaped tooth plate 9 on this station to move downward, so that the gear 8 at this station will transfer from the lower area of the arc-shaped tooth plate 9 to the upper area of the arc-shaped tooth plate 9. At this time, during the subsequent process of transporting the workpiece, the gear 8 will cooperate with the upper half of the tooth teeth on the arc-shaped tooth plate 9, that is, when the gear 8 displaces, it only rotates 90°. The circular displacement in the latter half of the path will cooperate with the rectangular empty groove 11, causing the gear 8 not to rotate self-reliantly. At this time, the signal lamp 35 on the station lights up red;
[0049] On the station that needs to be deflected by 90°, after the gear 8 has completed a 90° flip, the friction wheel 34 will come into contact with the friction pad 33. Subsequently, since the opening direction of the snap ring 32 remains unchanged, the friction wheel 34 cannot rotate self-reliantly at this time. Even when the calibration rod 26 displaces along the latter half of the arc-shaped trajectory, it will perform a reverse deflection relative to the arc-shaped groove 25, that is, after the rotating shaft 1O has been deflected by 90°, during the circular arc displacement in the latter half of the path, the orientation of the lower claw assembly 5 will remain unchanged and will not be slightly offset along with the circular arc displacement in the latter half. In this way, after the workpiece that needs to be flipped by 90° is flipped, the axes of the workpiece and the workpiece flipped by 180° are both on the same horizontal line. That is, relative to the workpiece, its position only undergoes an axial displacement. In this way, for the workpiece clamped by the claw assembly 5, the cold heading position on its side will not deviate too much from the center, thereby further expanding the scope of application.
[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
