The brake disc conveyor and placement device is used to convey brake discs and arrange them in two rows at the end. The packaging box conveyor and placement device is used to transfer packaging boxes and pack the brake discs into boxes. During this step, the packaging boxes 21 containing the brake discs 3 are manually sealed. A brake disc gripping device shifts the brake discs between the brake disc conveyor and placement device and the packaging box conveyor and placement device. A pallet control assembly is located at the end of the packaging box conveyor and placement device, which is used to stack the packaging boxes on the pallet.

[0042] In this embodiment, the brake disc conveying and placing device includes a first conveyor belt 1, and the first conveyor belt 1 is provided with a frame 2 for limiting the placement of the brake disc 3. The tail of the frame 2 is placed into two rows by a T-shaped end plate 206, and each row contains two brake discs 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the frame 2 includes, from the front end to the rear end of the first conveyor belt 1, a front end frame 201, a necking area 202, a single passage area 203, an expansion area 204, and a double-row placement area 205, which are interconnected. A T-shaped end plate 206 is disposed within the double-row placement area 205. The horizontal plate of the T-shaped end plate 206 seals the end of the double-row placement area 205, thereby blocking and fixing the brake disc 3. The vertical plate of the T-shaped end plate 206 is disposed at the rear end center of the double-row placement area 205, dividing the rear end of the double-row placement area 205 into two areas, thereby realizing a double-row arrangement of the brake discs 3, with two brake discs 3 stored in each area.

[0044] Two symmetrically arranged brake disc guide plates 5 are provided inside the double-row placement area 205 , and the brake disc 3 is positioned by the brake disc guide plates 5 so as to be moved to the two areas of the double-row placement area 205 separated by the T-shaped end plates 206 .

[0045] The brake disc guide plate 5 includes a first inclined plate 501, and a slide plate 502 is fixed above one end of the first inclined plate 501 located in the center of the double-row placement area 205. The slide plate 502 is arranged at the front end of the T-shaped end plate 206, and a rack 503 is provided on the slide plate 502.

[0046] The two brake disc guide plates 5 are arranged alternately up and down, and a gear meshing with the racks 503 of the two brake disc guide plates 5 is provided between the racks 503 of the two brake disc guide plates 5 , and the gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor 6 .

[0047] A support frame is fixed on the frame 2, the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the slide plate 502 is connected to the support frame in an up-and-down sliding manner.

[0048] One end of the first inclined plate 501 close to the frame 2 is connected to the abutment plate 505 through a straight plate 504 . The abutment plate 505 of the brake disc guide plate 5 that moves downward abuts against the inner wall of the frame 2 .

[0049] The motor 6 drives the gear to rotate, and the rotating gear controls the racks 503 on both sides to move up and down respectively, thereby realizing that the brake disc guide plate 5 on one side moves down to guide the brake disc 3, and the brake disc guide plate 5 on the other side moves up to open the channel, so that the brake disc enters the area inside the double-row placement area 205 separated by the T-shaped end plate 206.

[0050] During the guidance process of the brake disc guide plate 5, since only two brake discs 3 are required per row, it is necessary to control the number of brake discs 3 entering the double-row storage area 205. Therefore, this embodiment provides a brake disc movement limiting mechanism 4. The brake disc movement limiting mechanism 4 is provided above the single passage area 203 and is used to allow the brake discs 3 to pass through the single passage area 203 one by one and enter the double-row storage area 205.

[0051] The brake disc movement limiting mechanism 4 includes a horizontally arranged roller 401. After the roller 401 moves downward, it extends into the interior of the single passage area 203 and is located at the front end of the protruding mounting portion at the upper end of the brake disc 3 to block the brake disc 3. When the roller 401 is lifted, the brake disc 3 can move forward.

[0052] The two ends of the roller 401 are rotatably connected with sleeves 402. The upper end of the sleeve 402 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 403 of the electromagnet 404. A spring 405 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 403, and the telescopic rod 403 is arranged vertically.

The mounting bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic mechanism 9, and the connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 10.

[0055] The telescopic mechanism 9 is a pneumatic or electric cylinder arranged vertically. The suction cup 7 is an electromagnet, which is convenient for adsorbing or separating the brake disc 3. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 12 are both made of existing technology.

[0056] A second inclined plate 13 arranged obliquely downward is provided at the tail of the second conveyor belt 12 , and a pallet control assembly is provided below the second inclined plate 13 . The pallet control assembly is used to place a pallet 20 to receive the packaging box that slides down from the second inclined plate 13 .

[0058] Four L-shaped tray clamping plates 19 are provided on the support surface 1801 , and the tray 20 is clamped between the four tray clamping plates 19 .

[0059] The support surface 1801 is provided with four threaded hole areas, each threaded hole area includes a plurality of threaded holes 1802 distributed in a rectangular array, and the pallet clamping plate 19 is provided with at least two through holes, and bolts are passed through the through holes, and the bolts are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 1802.

[0060] During use, four pallet clamping plates 19 are installed according to the size of the pallet 20, and then the pallet 20 is manually placed on the support surface 1801. The relative position of the pallet 20 and the second inclined plate 13 is adjusted by controlling the second slide rail 15 and the third slide rail 17, so that the packaging boxes 21 sliding down from the second inclined plate 13 are placed on the pallet 20 in an orderly manner.

[0061] In the initial stage, the support surface 1801 of the lifting platform 18 is raised to the highest point. As the packaging boxes 21 are placed layer by layer on the pallet 20, the lifting platform 18 is gradually lowered until the packaging boxes 21 are placed on the pallet 20. Then, the lifting platform 18 is moved to an empty area and the pallet 20 is removed by a forklift.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first slide rail 11 , the second slide rail 15 and the third slide rail 17 all adopt linear electric modules, which are existing technologies.
