[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-5, this invention discloses a feeding device for friction plate production, comprising an annular drive component 1, a fixing block 3 fixedly connected to the side of the annular drive component 1, a first rod portion 4 rotatably disposed on the fixing block 3, a gear 5 fixedly connected to the surface of the first rod portion 4, and a fixing plate 2 disposed on the side of the annular drive component 1, the fixing plate 2 being provided with a rack, the gear 5 engaging with the rack to enable the first rod portion 4 to rotate.
[0033] A second rod 6 is inserted into the end of the first rod 4 away from the fixed block 3. A mounting plate 7 is fixed to the second rod 6, and when the first rod 4 rotates, the second rod 6 can drive the mounting plate 7 to rotate together.
[0034] A locking block 9 is installed on the mounting disk 7. The mounting disk 7 has a circular structure. There are multiple locking blocks 9, and the multiple locking blocks 9 are distributed in a ring array outside the mounting disk 7. The multiple locking blocks 9 can slide simultaneously in the direction of approaching / moving away from the mounting disk 7.
[0035] When this device is in use, the first rod 4 can move in a ring along with the ring drive 1, so that the device can move back and forth for use. The locking block 9 can lock and fix the inner ring of the friction plate, avoiding the situation where the locking block 9 comes into contact with the surface of the friction plate. This ensures that the device can polish the surface of the friction plate completely in one go during use.
[0036] The locking block 9 can first move towards the mounting plate 7 and approach it, and then retract together with the mounting plate 7 (that is, move together with the mounting plate 7 towards the annular drive component 1), so that the locking block 9 can enter the inner ring of the friction plate. Then the locking block 9 moves away from the mounting plate 7 and presses against the inner ring wall of the friction plate to fix the friction plate. After the friction plate is fixed, the engagement of the gear 5 and the rack can make the locking block 9 drive the friction plate to rotate, so that the sides of the friction plate can face the polishing structure, and the processing operation is completed in one go.
[0037] The locking block 9 has an arc-shaped structure to better cooperate with the inner ring of the friction plate, and a locking groove is provided on the locking block 9. The annular drive component 1 can be set with reference to the style of the conveyor belt.
[0038] The mounting plate 7 has a first slot 12, and a third rod 8 is fixed to the locking block 9. The end of the third rod 8 away from the locking block 9 is inserted into the first slot 12, and a first spring 13 is provided between the third rod 8 and the first slot 12 so that the third rod 8 can reciprocate within the first slot 12.
[0039] In some embodiments, the locking block 9 may be threaded into the third rod portion 8 (not shown) so that the locking block 9 can accommodate friction plates of different sizes.
[0040] The first rod 4 has a second slot 16, the second rod 6 is inserted into the second slot 16, and a second spring 17 is provided between the second rod 6 and the second slot 16 so that the second rod 6 can reciprocate within the second slot 16.
[0041] The use of the first spring 13 allows the locking block 9 to return to its original position, and provides stable support when the locking block 9 engages with the inner ring of the friction plate. The use of the second spring 17 allows the mounting plate 7 to reciprocate.
[0042] The second rod portion 6 has an installation groove, and a fourth rod portion 15 is provided in the installation groove. The fourth rod portion 15 can slide in the installation groove. One end of a connecting rope 14 is connected to one end of the third rod portion 8, and the other end of the connecting rope 14 is connected to the fourth rod portion 15. A guide block 19 is fixed to the fourth rod portion 15. A sliding groove 18 is provided on the first rod portion 4, and the guide block 19 extends out of the sliding groove 18. A guide rail 10 is provided below the first rod portion 4. An inclined surface is provided on the guide block 19, and the guide rail 10 is arranged at an inclination. When the first rod portion 4 moves with the annular drive member 1, the guide block 19 can cooperate with the guide rail 10, so that the guide block 19 slides. The guide block 19 can pull the locking block 9 to slide towards the mounting plate 7. When the locking block 9 moves to the limit position, the mounting plate 7 can move towards the first rod portion 4.
[0043] When the first rod 4 moves together with the annular drive member 1, the guide block 19 can cooperate with the guide rail 10, so that the guide block 19 pulls the fourth rod 15. At this time, due to the presence of the connecting rope 14, the locking block 9 can slide towards the mounting plate 7, the first spring 13 is compressed, and when the locking block 9 moves to the limit position, the guide block 19 continues to slide. At this time, the mounting plate 7 can slide towards the annular drive member 1, and the second spring 17 is compressed. When the guide block 19 moves to the end of the guide rail 10, the guide block 19, the locking block 9 and the mounting plate 7 are reset under the action of the first spring 13 and the second spring 17, thereby clamping and fixing the friction plate.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] As shown in Figures 6-9, based on Embodiment 1, this application also discloses the following technical solutions:
[0046] A loading component 11 is also provided between the guide rail 10 and the fixed plate 2. The loading component 11 includes a frame 20. The upper end of the frame 20, the side opposite to the annular drive component 1, and the side away from the guide rail 10 are all open. A rotating plate 21 is rotatably provided in the opening on the side of the frame 20 away from the guide rail 10. A rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 21. A first torsion spring 24 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 23. A groove 22 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the frame 20. The friction plate falls into the frame 20 from above.
[0047] After the guide block 19 separates from the guide rail 10, the mounting plate 7 can extend into the frame 20, and the locking block 9 resets and locks onto the inner ring of the friction plate. Then, as the annular drive 1 moves, the locking block 9 drives the friction plate, causing the rotating plate 21 to rotate and open, so that the friction plate leaves the frame 20.
[0048] The upper opening of the frame 20 allows the friction plate to fall into the frame 20 easily. The front opening of the frame 20 allows the mounting plate 7 to be inserted into the friction plate easily. The side opening of the frame 20 allows the locking block 9 to take the friction plate away easily for the next processing operation.
[0049] A base 25 is provided at the lower end of the frame 20, and a sliding groove is provided on the base 25. A slider 33 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame 20, and the slider 33 can slide in the sliding groove.
[0050] In one embodiment of the sliding of the frame 20, a third spring 27 is provided between the slider 33 and the inner wall of the groove. A rotatable rotating shaft 28 is provided on the slider 33, and a second torsion spring 29 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 28. A positioning block 30 is provided above the rotating shaft 28, and the positioning block 30 is movable up and down and mounted on the slider 33. A pushing block 26 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 28, extending beyond the base 25. The upper end is provided with a slot, and the lower end of the positioning block 30 can extend into the slot and prevent the rotating shaft 28 from rotating. A first wedge block 31 is also fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block 30. A second wedge block 32 is also provided in the base 25. The second wedge block 32 and the first wedge block 31 can cooperate with each other so that the first wedge block 31 moves upward and disengages from the slot. A toggle block 34 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first rod 4. The toggle block 34 can cooperate with the push block 26 to push the frame 20 to slide on the base 25.
[0051] When the above technical solution is implemented, when the actuating block 34 slides to one side of the base 25 (when the center of the mounting plate 7 is aligned with the inner ring of the friction plate), the actuating block 34 can cooperate with the pushing block 26 to push the pushing block 26 (at this time, the positioning block 30 is embedded in the slot, and the rotating shaft 28 cannot rotate), thereby causing the mounting plate 7 and the frame 20 to move synchronously. After moving a certain distance, the locking block 9 contacts the inner ring of the friction plate and can fix and clamp the friction plate. Then, the second wedge block 32 cooperates with the first wedge block 31, thereby causing the positioning block 30 to move upward and disengage from the slot. At this time, the rotating shaft 28 can rotate, thereby driving the pushing block 26 to rotate. At this time, the actuating block 34 can pass over the pushing block 26, thereby causing the frame 20 to stop moving. Furthermore, the use of the second torsion spring 29 can cause the rotating shaft 28 to return to its initial position when the actuating block 34 passes over the pushing block 26, and the positioning block 30 can move downward and embed into the slot under its own gravity.
[0052] The third spring 27 can be compressed and stored when the slider 33 slides. When the frame 20 no longer moves synchronously with the mounting plate 7, the third spring 27 can push the slider 33 back to the initial position.
[0053] As another embodiment of the sliding of the frame 20, a rotatable lead screw 35 is provided inside the base 25. The lead screw 35 passes through the slider 33 and is driven by a motor. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor can control the movement direction of the slider 33.
[0054] A damping block is fixed inside the first rod 4. The damping block is in contact with the surface of the fourth rod 15. The use of the damping block allows the locking block 9 to slowly reset and contact the inner ring of the friction plate, avoiding the situation where the locking block 9 cannot abut against the inner ring of the friction plate due to the locking block 9 resetting too quickly.
[0055] Of course, when implementing this device, the friction plates can be removed manually or by other means after processing; this application does not impose any restrictions. Furthermore, when grinding or performing other operations on the friction plates, positioning fixtures can be provided to prevent the friction plates from shaking during processing.
[0056] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0057] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
