Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of brake system production, brake pads are key safety components, and the efficiency and stability of their production process are crucial. In the brake pad production process, the mixed raw materials are hot-pressed, and the friction pads and steel backs are tightly combined to form the initial shape of the brake pads. They are then sent to the oven for heat treatment to improve the stability and heat resistance of the brake pad material. After heat treatment, the surface of the brake pad blank still has burrs, which need to be machined to make it smooth.

[0003] At present, the brake pad blanks taken out of the oven are often directly poured into the material box for transportation (in order to save the time of picking and stacking materials), and then sent to the mechanical processing equipment one by one by manual loading; however, since the brake pad blanks in the conveying box are in a free bulk state, this manual loading method is not only labor-intensive, but also inefficient, affecting the production efficiency of the entire brake pad.

[0041] like Figure 8-Figure 22 As shown, the equidistant conveying assembly 2 includes a support frame 201, a mounting frame 202, a conveying shaft 203, a conveying belt 204, a conveying motor 205, a bending plate 206, a bending adjustment mechanism 207, a protective film plate 208, a sliding frame 209, a sliding screw 210, a toggle rod 211 and a toggle cylinder 212; The support frame 1 201 is fixedly mounted on the base 5, and the left and right sides of the upper end thereof are fixedly provided with side connecting plates 2011 inclined inwardly in a slope shape, and the front and rear sides are respectively fixedly provided with a front connecting plate 2012 and a rear connecting plate 2013; The mounting frame 202 is arranged above the supporting frame 1 201 and fixedly mounted on the two side connecting plates 2011; the conveying shafts 203 are arranged in pairs, and one pair is provided in the present embodiment; conveying wheels of different wheel diameters are alternately and coaxially fixedly mounted on the conveying shaft 203.

Since the conveyor wheel 1 2021 and the conveyor wheel 2022 have different wheel diameters, the belt surfaces of adjacent conveyor belts 204 are at different heights. When the conveyor shaft 203 rotates, the conveyor wheel 1 2021 and the conveyor wheel 2022 have the same angular velocity but different linear velocity, and the corresponding conveyor belt 204 movement speeds are also different. The conveyor motor 205 drives the connected conveyor shaft 203 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 204 starts to move. After the brake pad blank 6 falls, due to the different movement speeds of adjacent conveyor belts 204, the brake pad blank 6 will pass through and fall between adjacent conveyor belts 204 or between the conveyor belt 204 and the mounting frame 202.

If it meets the requirements, the brake pad blank 6 continues to move; if it does not meet the requirements, the electromagnet plate 407 is energized and absorbs the brake pad blank 6, the lifting cylinder 405 drives the rotating cylinder 406 and the electromagnet plate 407 to move upward, the rotating cylinder 406 drives the electromagnet plate 407 to rotate 180°, the lifting cylinder 405 drives the rotating cylinder 406 and the electromagnet plate 407 back to their original positions, the electromagnet plate 407 is powered off, and the brake pad blank 6 continues to move to the mechanical processing equipment driven by the output conveyor belt 401 for the next process.
