Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lock beam correction equipment, and particularly relates to a fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment. Background Art

[0002] A padlock is the oldest and largest family in the world of locks. It can be said that other locks are derived and branched from this category of padlocks. A metal stem in the shape of a ring or "one" character that can be buckled is installed on the lock body of the padlock, that is, the "lock beam". The padlock becomes a closed lock by directly buckling the lock beam with the lock body. The lock beam is prone to deformation during the bending production and manufacturing process. The deformed lock beam cannot cooperate with the lock hole. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the deformed lock beam. Most of the existing lock beam corrections are manually corrected by workers in cooperation with some tooling or molds, with relatively low overall efficiency and accuracy. However, with the development of technology, some equipment that can automatically correct the lock beam has gradually emerged.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese invention patent with the patent number CN116786635A discloses a lock beam correction machine, which includes a workbench, a loading and unloading component, a correction component, and a detection component. The correction component is connected to the workbench, the loading and unloading component is connected to the workbench, the loading and unloading component is used to transport the lock beam to the correction component and to retrieve the corrected lock beam from the correction component, the detection component is connected to the workbench and is used to detect the bending arc of the lock beam on the correction component, and the correction component is used to correct the lock beam. It does not require manual participation, realizes the full-automatic correction of the lock beam, improves the work efficiency, and improves the correction accuracy.

[0004] In the prior art, although the full-automatic correction of the lock beam is realized through the correction component and the detection component, there are still certain deficiencies in the overall use: First of all, in the above prior art, after the lock beam correction is completed, it is necessary to pull back the corrected lock beam with a blanking hook and then take the lock beam out of the blanking groove. In this structure, the rotating blanking hook needs to be used in cooperation with the blanking drive, and the requirements for lock beam positioning and coordination are extremely high. If the lock beam is not corrected successfully at one time, the blanking hook will pull back the unqualified product, affecting subsequent use. If there is a positioning error, the lock beam will fail to be pulled back, and in serious cases, the lock beam will rub against the correction fixture, resulting in surface scratches at the lightest, and bending the end of the lock beam at the heaviest, affecting the forming efficiency of the lock beam; Secondly, even if the corrected lock beam can be pulled back, the lock beam will only stay in the blanking mechanism and still cannot be automatically unloaded. Workers still need to manually take out the lock beam, increasing the labor intensity of workers while having low efficiency, not suitable for large-scale processing on the production line, and reducing the work efficiency; Finally, the existing device integrates the loading structure and the unloading structure, resulting in a complex structure, high precision requirements, and difficult installation. There are also problems such as the unloading mechanism moving prematurely when the loading is not completed or the movement trajectories of the two overlapping, which easily leads to structural defects such as mechanical interference or even equipment collision. Moreover, most of the existing drive structures are external, making it easy for oil stains, dust, etc. in the environment to enter the interior of the drive structure, affecting the service life of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device. The present invention solves the technical problems that it is easy to have a positioning error between the existing unloading structure and the drive mechanism, resulting in the inability to unload the lock beam, and unqualified products are easily mixed in or rubbed against the fixture, causing surface damage or even structural deformation. It also solves the technical problems that the existing device cannot automatically discharge materials and the integration of the loading / unloading mechanism easily leads to conflicts in the movement trajectories, causing mechanical interference or equipment jamming.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device, including a base and a drive table.

Above the mold, a moving plate is slidably provided on the end face of the drive table. One side of the end face of the moving plate is provided with a blanking plate. After the lock beam is corrected, the blanking plate will abut against the outer end face of the lock beam to slide it out from the shaping cavity and the mold cavity, so that the lock beam is discharged through the blanking groove.

[0007] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device, two first base plates and second base plates are alternately and fixedly arranged on the outer end face of the drive table outside the moving plate.

[0008] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device, the loading mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly arranged on the end face of the second base plate. On the outer end face of the mounting plate, a limiting plate is provided directly above the mold. The bottom of the limiting plate is fixedly installed with a support plate.

A slide plate is slidably installed on the surface of the slide rail. The pressing plate is fixedly connected to the slide plate.

[0010] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, an L-shaped guide plate is arranged on one side of the upper part of the limiting plate. The lower end surface of the guide plate is in sliding contact with the upper circular surface of the lock beam.

[0011] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, a plurality of mounting holes are formed on the end surface of the limiting plate on one side of the blanking chute. A magnetic attraction member is arranged inside the plurality of mounting holes. There is a gap between the magnetic attraction end of the magnetic attraction member and one side end surface of the limiting plate.

[0012] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, a limiting block is arranged on one side end surface of the limiting plate above the mold. An L-shaped baffle is arranged on the front surface of the mounting plate on one side of the limiting block. The side surface of the baffle is attached to the outer edge surface of the long side of the lock beam.

[0013] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, a moving groove is formed at the intersection of the first base plate and the second base plate. A second moving block is slidably arranged in the driving platform on one side of the moving groove. The outer end of the second moving block penetrates through the moving groove, and an L-shaped bracket is slidably installed. The top of the bracket is fixedly connected to the displacement detector.

[0014] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, a first moving block is also slidably arranged in the moving groove. The outside of the first moving block is fixedly connected to the correction plate.

[0015] In the above-mentioned fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment, an L-shaped pulling plate is fixedly installed on the front surface of the moving plate. The blanking plate is arranged at the lower surface of the pulling plate.

[0016] In summary, compared with the prior art, a fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

With the cooperation of the moving plate that can move inside and outside, and the structures such as the blanking plate and the mold cavity, automatic blanking can be completed with a small number of moving structural parts, effectively solving the technical problems that the existing correction mechanism is prone to interference, collision or damage to the lock beam, and improving the production efficiency and the quality of the lock beam.

[0017] 2. When the whole driving platform of the present invention is in an inclined state, through the structural settings such as the limiting plate, the guiding member, the guiding plate and the magnetic attracting member, in the process of using the self-gravity of the lock beam to complete the neat and orderly arrangement and feeding, it can also ensure that the lock beam can stably enter the mold cavity and the shaping cavity in sequence to complete the shaping and correction process, and can avoid problems such as overlapping, rubbing and bumping of the lock beam, further improving the production efficiency and production quality.

[0018] 3. Through the mutual cooperation settings of the positions of the mold and the mold cavity, the shaping cavity and the blanking plate and other structures of the present invention, the whole feeding, shaping, blanking and other processes of the equipment can be effectively completed with a small amount of structural movement, which can effectively reduce the manual participation, and the structure is compact and convenient for maintenance, and the overall automation efficiency is greatly improved, ensuring the correction efficiency.

Detailed implementation manner

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figure 1 , a fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device, including a frame 10, a control box 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the frame 10. An intelligent control screen and various operation buttons are arranged on the end face of the control box 11, and various data of this device will be displayed outward through the intelligent control screen. Staff can also operate the device through the control box 11. On one side of the control box 11, a base 12 is fixedly formed by splicing multiple plate members on the upper surface of the frame 10. The front surface of the base 12 is inclined, and the angle between the overall inclined surface and the end face of the frame 10 is between 55 - 75 degrees, which is set according to the actual situation. A driving platform 13 is fixedly installed on the inclined surface of the base 12.

[0023] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 , multiple cover plates are arranged on the front surface of the driving platform 13, including a first base plate 131 arranged in an L shape. One side of the first base plate 131 is fixedly installed with a second base plate 132 arranged in an L shape. The front surface of the top of the second base plate 132 is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 14. A limiting plate 19 for assisting in blanking is fixedly installed on the front surface of the mounting plate 14. The limiting plate 19 is integrally in an L shape, and the end face of its short side is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14 by bolts. A support plate 20 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the limiting plate 19. A guiding member 21 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 20. A slide rail is arranged at the top of the guiding member 21. The top of the slide rail is circular and is slidably adapted to the inner arc surface of the U-shaped lock beam. And one end of the outside of the guiding member 21 is longer than the limiting plate 19 as a whole, so that the limiting plate 19 will not interfere with the lock beam when placing the lock beam, facilitating the lock beam to be sleeved on the surface of the guiding member 21.

[0024] Moreover, since the driving platform 13 is installed on the inclined surface of the base 12, and the mounting plate 14 is installed on the surface of the second base plate 132 of the driving platform 13, the limiting plate 19, the supporting plate 20 and the guiding member 21 are all arranged to incline downward. Therefore, when the locking beam is sleeved on the surface of the guiding member 21, it can slide towards the driving platform 13 by the weight of the locking beam itself. And the top of the guiding member 21 is circularly arranged, which greatly reduces the contact surface with the locking beam, reduces the friction force, and further facilitates the downward sliding of the locking beam, facilitating the normal operation of the feeding work. In this solution, it should be noted that a locking beam vibrating disk feeder can be placed on one side of the guiding member 21, and the automatic feeding process can be completed. Considering it as an existing technology, no more elaboration will be made.

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , on one side of the upper part of the limiting plate 19, an L-shaped guiding plate 22 is also fixedly installed by the fixed cooperation of a kidney-shaped hole and a bolt. The L-shaped setting facilitates the flexible up and down sliding adjustment of the guiding plate 22 on the side surface of the limiting plate 19. In this solution, the distance between the bottom of the guiding plate 22 and the guiding member 21 is the same as the diameter of the locking beam, so that when the locking beam slides downward during feeding, it plays an upper and lower limiting role for the locking beam. At the same time, in this relationship, between the supporting plate 20 and the limiting plate 19 and the guiding member 21, they are all tightly fitted by kidney-shaped holes and bolts. Therefore, the distance between the guiding member 21 and the limiting plate 19 can also be adjusted. When in actual use, after the inner arc surface of the locking beam is abutted and placed on the slide rail, the short side of the locking beam is placed between the guiding member 21 and the limiting plate 19, and the distance between the guiding member 21 and the limiting plate 19 is set according to the diameter of the short side of the locking beam. When sliding downward, the short side of the locking beam contacts the side surface of the limiting plate 19, ensuring the vertical state of the locking beam, facilitating the orderly arrangement of the locking beam, and thus facilitating the single feeding work during the correction of the locking beam.

[0026] Even further, an existing automatic lubrication device can be arranged on the lower surface of the guiding plate 22 and the top of the base 12 for lubricating structures such as the slide rail, reducing the friction force with the locking beam, facilitating the automatic downward sliding and arrangement of the locking beam, and improving the use effect.

[0027] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 12 and Figure 13, The front surface of the mounting plate 14 is fixedly installed with a first cylinder 15 and a slide rail 16. A slide plate 17 is slidably installed on the surface of the slide rail 16. The slide plate 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 15 through multiple plate members. One side of the slide plate 17 is fixedly installed with a pressing plate 18. The pressing plate 18 is in a sliding fit relationship with the mounting plate 14 as a whole. And an arc-shaped pressing groove is provided at the bottom of the pressing plate 18. The arc radian of this pressing groove is adapted to the arc surface of the locking beam. There is a blanking groove 191 with an adjustable spacing between the guiding member 21 and the mounting plate 14. The spacing of this blanking groove 191 is slightly larger than the thickness of the pressing plate 18 and the diameter of the locking beam. And the pressing plate 18 is just located in the blanking groove 191 as a whole, so that the pressing plate 18 can slide up and down in this blanking groove 191 as a whole.

[0028] When multiple locking beams slide downwards one by one to the blanking groove 191, the pressing plate 18 will just be in the blanking groove 191 as a whole. Therefore, one end of the locking beam closest to the mounting plate 14 will abut against the end face of the pressing plate 18. Subsequently, the output end of the first cylinder 15 will drive the slide plate 17 to move upwards on the slide rail 16, thereby driving the pressing plate 18 to move upwards. When the pressing groove end of the pressing plate 18 moves above the guiding member 21, the pressing plate 18 that originally blocked the blanking groove 191 has been completely removed upwards. At this time, the first locking beam that originally abutted against the end face of the pressing plate 18 will slide to the blanking groove 191 under the action of gravity. The locking beam that slides to the blanking groove 191 will drop down at this time. At this time, the pressing plate 18 will also slide downwards under the action of the first cylinder 15. Thus, the pressing groove at the bottom of the pressing plate 18 will press on the arc surface of the locking beam and move downwards, so as to press the locking beam into the correction mechanism to complete the correction and detection process. In the above relationship, when the pressing plate 18 presses the locking beam into the correction mechanism, the pressing plate 18 is also just in the blanking groove 191 as a whole. Therefore, at this time, the pressing plate 18 also blocks the next locking beam, so that the multiple locking beams on the guiding member 21 will not continue to slide downwards. In this solution, the setting of the slide rail 16 also improves the stability of the slide plate 17 when sliding, thereby greatly improving the stability of the single locking beam feeding, stably feeding the locking beam into the correction mechanism, and improving the correction accuracy of the locking beam.

[0029] Further, refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14A plurality of mounting holes 23 are provided on the end surface of the limiting plate 19 on one side of the blanking groove 191, and a magnetic attraction member 24 is provided inside the plurality of mounting holes 23. When the lock beam slides to the blanking groove 191, the magnetism of the magnetic attraction member 24 itself will temporarily magnetically limit the lock beam, so that when the first lock beam enters the blanking groove 191 and the pressure plate 18 has not completely fallen, it can prevent the second lock beam from falling through this gap. In order to facilitate the single feeding of the equipment and ensure the progress of the correction work, in the present scheme, the magnetic attraction member 24 is inserted and installed in the mounting hole 23 from the side of the limit plate 19 away from the lock beam, and there is a gap between the magnetic end of the magnetic attraction member 24 and the end face of one side of the limit plate 19, so that multiple magnetic attraction members 24 will only adsorb the lock beam in the air, and will not directly adsorb and adhere to the lock beam. The purpose of this setting is that the magnetic attraction member 24 will only magnetically limit the lock beam, but the lock beam as a whole can still slide downward under the pressure of the pressure plate 18, and will not adsorb and fix the lock beam. In this relationship, the setting of the gap acts as a physical isolation layer, which can ensure the stable movement of the lock beam. In the process of the lock beam being pressed downward by the pressure plate 18, due to the magnetic attraction relationship of the magnetic attraction member, the short side of the lock beam will always abut against the end face of the limit plate 19 and move downward, forming a reference sliding fitting surface, without excessive shaking, which can ensure that the lock beam as a whole can be stably inserted into the correction mechanism to complete the correction process. Finally, it needs to be explained again that the magnetic attraction component can refer to a magnet or a device that generates magnetism when powered on. This solution does not impose too many restrictions and is set according to actual conditions.

[0030] For further reference, Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A mold 28 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the second base plate 132 just below the limit plate 19, and a stop block 30 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mold 28 at the front surface of the second base plate 132. The mold 28 is located on the upper surface of the stop block 30 and just below the limit plate 19. A mold cavity 29 is opened on one side of the mold 28, and the mold cavity 29 runs through the entire mold 28. The width of the mold cavity 29 is consistent with the size of the lock beam. When the pressing plate 18 pushes the lock beam to move downward, the short side of the lock beam will be inserted into the mold cavity 29, and the pressing plate 18 will continue to push after the short side of the lock beam is inserted into the mold cavity 29, so that the bottom end of the short side of the lock beam abuts against the upper surface of the stop block 30. At this time, a radial clamping fixation of the lock beam is formed between the pressing plate 18 and the stop block 30, and the mold cavity 29 forms a circumferential limit for the lock beam, thereby forming a fixed positioning of the lock beam in the up and down and left and right directions.

[0031] For further reference, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 15, a third cylinder 36 is fixedly installed inside the driving platform 13. The third cylinder 36 is installed inside the driving platform 13 through a positioning plate. The output end of the third cylinder 36 is fixedly installed with an L-shaped second moving block 37 that slides on the positioning plate. A moving groove is formed between two L-shaped first base plates 131 and second base plates 132. The outer end of the second moving block 37 penetrates and slides inside the moving groove. An L-shaped bracket 371 is slidably installed on the outer end face of the second moving block 37 and is fixed and limited by bolts. A displacement detector 38 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 371. A slidable and telescopic detection end is arranged on the side of the displacement detector 38 facing the mold. This displacement detector 38 adopts a conventional high-precision displacement sensing detector. By detecting the sliding distance of the detection end, the displacement data can be judged. This is prior art, and the specific structure and content are not elaborated too much in this solution.

[0032] Since the bracket 371 slides inside the second moving block 37, the displacement detector 38 can slide together with the bracket 371, so that the distance between the detection end of the displacement detector 38 and the locking beam can be adjusted, which is convenient for detecting locking beams with different diameters or different outer widths of the U-shaped locking beams. After the locking beam is limited, the third cylinder 36 pushes the second moving block 37 forward, thereby driving the connected bracket 371 to move towards the locking beam, and further making the detection end of the displacement detector 38 abut against the long side of the locking beam to detect whether it is deformed. Moreover, the second moving block 37 slides on the positioning plate. Through the limitation of the positioning plate, when the second moving block 37 abuts against the locking beam, the stability is greatly improved. Since a large external force is required to shape the locking beam during correction, the stable sliding of the second moving block 37 can make the displacement detector 38 always stably abut against the locking beam, improving the accuracy of data acquisition, and thus ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the correction amount.

[0033] It should be noted here that the distance of each movement of the bracket 371 is fixed. Therefore, when the locking beam is not deformed, the displacement telescopic data of the output end of the displacement detector 38 when it abuts against the long side of the locking beam each time is fixed. If the locking beam undergoes elastic deformation at this time, with the position of the displacement detector 38 fixed, an increase in the data volume indicates that the long side of the locking beam bends and expands outward in the direction of the displacement sensor 38. On the contrary, a decrease in the data volume indicates that the long side of the locking beam bends inward excessively in the direction of the short side.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8, on one side of the moving groove, a servo motor 32 that can be precisely controlled is fixedly installed inside the driving platform 13. On both sides of the servo motor 32, guide rails inside the driving platform 13 are fixedly installed. The output end of the servo motor 32 is fixedly installed with a lead screw that is used in cooperation with it. A first moving block 33 is arranged in threaded transmission with the outside of the lead screw. The first moving plate 33 is slidably matched with the guide rail. The surface of the end of the first moving block 33 away from the servo motor 32 is fixedly installed with a correction plate 34. The correction plate 34 slides inside the moving groove, and one end of the correction plate 34 is provided with a shaping cavity 35. The size of the shaping cavity 35 is set according to the maximum deformation amount on both sides of the long side of the lock beam. It is similar to a hook and is specifically set according to the actual situation to facilitate shaping the lock beam with different deformation amounts. And the shaping cavity 35 is opened on the side surface of the end of the correction plate 34 and is integrally in an open shape. This shaping cavity 35 is basically located at the position of the long side when the lock beam falls, which is convenient for the blanking work of the lock beam after correction; it should be noted here that the servo motor 32 in this solution can also be replaced by an electric push rod and a driving device that can control the stroke. In actual use, the output end of the electric push rod and other structures can be used to push the first moving block 33 to move, as long as the precise movement of the first moving block 33 is ensured. This solution does not make too many restrictions.

[0035] During the correction and detection process, when the short side of the lock beam slides into the mold cavity 29, the long side of the lock beam also inserts into the shaping cavity 35 and penetrates the shaping cavity 35. On one side of the end of the long side of the lock beam that penetrates the shaping cavity 35 is a displacement detector 38. Therefore, after the lock beam is limited, the deformation amount can be detected by the displacement detector 38 abutting against the lock beam. After the detection is completed, the output end of the servo motor 32 rotates a certain number of turns clockwise or counterclockwise according to the deformation degree of the lock beam, so as to drive the lead screw at the output end to rotate, and then drive the first moving block 33 outside the lead screw to slide horizontally outside the guide rail, so that the correction plate 34 moves, and then the correction plate 34 pulls or pushes the shaping cavity 35. By the inner cavity wall surface of the shaping cavity 35 abutting against the long side of the lock beam, and during the continuous pushing or pulling process, the long side of the lock beam can be bent outward or squeezed inward, so as to correct the lock beam. When the shaping cavity 35 shapes the lock beam, the detection end of the displacement detector 38 will always abut against the lock beam. After the first correction is completed, the displacement detector 38 continues to detect the lock beam. If the lock beam still has deformation, the correction plate 34 will continue to drive the shaping cavity 35 to continue to correct the lock beam. And after each correction of the lock beam, the displacement detector 38 will re-detect the lock beam. Through repeated detection and correction, the lock beam can be completely corrected, improving the correction accuracy and ensuring the qualified rate of the lock beam finished product. After the lock beam is finally corrected, the displacement detector 38 resets to prepare for the correction of the next lock beam.

[0036] Further, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5And Figure 7 Inside the base 12, a side plate parallel to the driving platform 13 is fixedly installed. On the surface of the side plate close to the driving platform 13, a second cylinder 26 is fixedly installed. The output end of the second cylinder 26 is fixedly installed with a push rod passing through the back side of the driving platform 13. The end of the push rod is fixedly installed with a moving plate 133. A sliding groove is opened on one side of the second base plate 132. The moving plate 133 slides inside the sliding groove. And on the front surface of the moving plate 133, an L-shaped pulling plate 134 is fixedly installed. On the lower surface of the pulling plate 134, a blanking plate 27 is slidably installed. A kidney-shaped hole is opened on one side of the lower surface of the blanking plate 27. The blanking plate 27 is tightly fitted with a bolt through the kidney-shaped hole, so that the blanking plate 27 can be flexibly slid back and forth to adjust the distance between it and the moving plate 133. During actual use, according to the diameter of the lock beam, the distance between the bottom edge of the blanking plate 27 and the outer surface of the moving plate 133 is adjusted. This distance needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the lock beam, so that when the lock beam enters the shaping cavity 35 in the mold, there will be no interference collision with the blanking plate 27. When the shaping of the lock beam is completed, when the second cylinder 26 retracts, the whole lock beam is taken out of the shaping cavity 35 of the mold into the blanking groove 31, which is convenient for the use of lock beams with different diameters. And the blanking plate 27 slides on the upper surface of the mold 28. A blanking groove 31 is arranged on the end face of the termination block 30 close to the second cylinder 26 below the mold cavity 29.

[0037] After the lock beam is inserted into the mold cavity 29, the blanking plate 27 is on the side far from the mold cavity 29, and the blanking plate 27 is located in front of the lock beam. After the lock beam is corrected, the lock beam is still in the mold cavity 29. At this time, the second cylinder 26 pulls the moving plate 133 to move inward, thereby pulling the connected blanking plate 27 to move towards the lock beam. At this time, since the shaping cavity 35 has a side opening, the blanking plate 27 will gradually press on the outside of the lock beam and push the lock beam to move inward in the direction of the second cylinder 26, thereby pushing the lock beam to move inward. At this time, the short side of the lock beam will gradually move to the opening of the mold cavity 29, and the long side will also gradually move to the opening of the shaping cavity. When the lock beam moves to the outside of the openings of the two cavities, the short side of the lock beam will also move to the position of the blanking groove 31 and will no longer be in contact with the end face of the termination block 30. Subsequently, the lock beam will be pushed out of the two cavities, and the lock beam will automatically slide down from the blanking groove 31 due to gravity for blanking. In this solution, it should be noted that a collection box can be set on the upper surface of the frame 10 of this equipment to collect the blanking lock beams. Considering it as an existing technology, no more elaboration is made. It should also be noted here that when the lock beam is loaded, the pulling plate 134 and the blanking plate 27 will be pushed outward to reset, so as to ensure that both the short side and the long side of the lock beam can move into the corresponding cavities, which does not affect the feeding. At the same time, the blanking plate 27 is located below the limit block 25, so that when the limit block 25 limits and feeds the lock beam, it will not interfere with its work.

[0038] Embodiment 2: A fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device is a further embodiment based on Embodiment 1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , on the upper side of the blanking plate 27 and on one end face of the limiting plate 19, a limiting block 25 is fixedly connected through the settings of kidney-shaped holes and bolt holes. The upper side of the end of the limiting block 25 close to the pressing plate 18 is chamfered. This setting facilitates the flexible front-back sliding adjustment of the limiting block 25 on the side surface of the limiting plate 19. Before feeding, by sliding the limiting block 25 back and forth on the side surface of the limiting plate 19, the distance between the limiting block 25 and the pressing plate 18 can be adjusted, so that it can be adjusted according to the diameter of the lock beam, and then locks of different diameters can be used. When the lock beam is pushed into the mold 28, the limiting block 25 can further limit the lock beam, so that the lock beam can be effectively positioned in the mold 28. With the limiting effect on the upper end surface of the pressing plate 18, the lock beam can be limited in multiple directions, ensuring subsequent precise correction work and improving product quality.

[0039] Embodiment 3: A fully automatic lock beam detection and correction device is a further embodiment based on Embodiments 1 and 2. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , on the front surface of the mounting plate 14, an L-shaped baffle 39 is fixedly connected through the settings of kidney-shaped holes and bolt holes. This setting facilitates the flexible left-right sliding adjustment of the baffle 39 on the front surface of the mounting plate 14. When feeding, by sliding the baffle 39 left and right on the front surface of the mounting plate 14, the distance between the baffle 39 and the long side of the lock beam can be adjusted, so that it can be adjusted according to the diameter of the lock beam. When the lock beam moves downward into the mold 28, the long side of the lock beam can also be mechanically limited to a certain extent by the end face of the baffle 39, further improving the feeding accuracy of the lock beam, ensuring subsequent precise correction work and improving product quality.

[0040] It should be noted here that the driving structures of the blanking plate 27, the correction plate 34, and the displacement detector 38 are all arranged inside the base 12 and the driving platform 13. The built-in driving structure can make full use of the height of the box body. Through hierarchical layout, the invalid space is converted into an equipment accommodation area, improving space utilization rate, reducing the space for installing equipment, and the box body isolates external interferences such as dust, moisture, and mechanical collisions, preventing the driving unit from being worn or failing due to environmental pollutants. The heat of the driving structure can be uniformly diverted through the box body air duct / liquid cooling channel, with higher heat dissipation efficiency than decentralized heat dissipation, improving the heat dissipation effect, and both the base 12 and the driving platform 13 are assembled and installed, facilitating disassembly and installation, thus facilitating the maintenance and repair work of the internal driving structure; Finally, it should be noted that for the fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment of the present invention, its installation and connection methods, the fixed control systems of the relevant positions of various structures, etc. are all common mechanical methods, and any implementation that can achieve its beneficial effects is acceptable; The control box 11, the first cylinder 15, the second cylinder 26, the servo motor 32, the third cylinder 36, and the displacement detector 38, etc. of the fully automatic lock beam detection and correction equipment of the present invention are all purchased on the market. Those skilled in the art only need to install and operate according to the attached user manual, and there is no need for those skilled in the art to make creative efforts.
