Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brake pad processing technology, and more particularly to a disc brake pad processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As the core actuator in a vehicle's braking system that directly acts on the brake disc, the performance of disc brake pads directly determines the vehicle's braking distance, braking smoothness, and braking reliability, thus having a strong correlation with vehicle driving safety. During vehicle braking, the brake pads must withstand enormous frictional and impact forces instantaneously.

[0003] For current processing equipment, the existing brake pad processing equipment disclosed in patent number "CN213318791U" involves placing the workpiece to be processed onto a forming pad on top of a load-bearing column, and then using a power hydraulic cylinder to drive the stamping assembly to stamp the workpiece downwards. During the stamping process, the guide rod bushing and the power guide rod can be used for accurate positioning, and the telescopic limit rod can be used to enhance the telescopic buffering effect. The whole process can be processed quickly and accurately. After completion, the polishing process can be performed by using a power motor in conjunction with a polishing shaft.

[0004] When stamping brake pads, the device requires workers to manually add wear-resistant material and base material to the forming plate. Due to the difficulty in accurately controlling the amount and distribution of material during manual addition, a large amount of excess material often remains on the surface of the forming plate. If this residue is not cleaned in time, it will affect subsequent processing. Therefore, a second cleaning must be done manually, which not only increases the number of operation steps but also consumes extra time. After cleaning, workers also need to manually align the steel backing on the forming plate. However, manual alignment is easily affected by factors such as visual deviation and operational stability, making it difficult to ensure that the steel backing and the pre-set position of the forming plate are accurately matched, which may adversely affect the quality of subsequent stamping processes.

[0005] Accordingly, this application proposes a disc brake pad processing equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a disc brake pad processing device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A disc brake pad processing device includes a processing base, a worktable on the processing base, a slide rail on the worktable, a brake pad mold box on the slide rail, and a placement and cleaning section in the brake pad mold box. The placement and cleaning section consists of a placement component and a cleaning component. The placement component is used to position a steel backing on the surface of the brake pad mold box, and the cleaning component is used to clean the filler residue on the surface of the brake pad mold box. The processing base is symmetrically provided with mounting seats, and each mounting seat is provided with a hydraulic rod on its top surface. The output end of the hydraulic rod is provided with a material unloading platform. The feeding platform is equipped with multiple filling hoppers, and the filling hoppers are equipped with a material blocking and stirring section. The material blocking and stirring section consists of a material blocking component and a stirring component. The material blocking component is used to block the filling in the filling hopper to control the feeding, and the stirring component is used to stir the filling that is put into the brake pad mold box. The workbench is symmetrically equipped with mounting frames, and the side wall of the workbench is equipped with a transfer platform. The mounting frames and the transfer platform are equipped with a testing and transfer unit. The testing and transfer unit consists of a testing component and a transfer component. The testing component is used to perform a qualification test on the formed brake pads, and the transfer component is used to transfer the tested brake pads to the next process.

[0008] Preferably, the placement component and the cleaning component are linked by a drive assembly. The drive assembly first drives the cleaning component to clean the filler on the surface of the brake pad mold box. After cleaning is completed, the placement component is then driven to place the steel backing onto the surface of the brake pad mold box.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle and the agitator are linked by a moving component. The moving component first drives the baffle to open so that the filler in the filling hopper can be put into the brake pad mold box. During the movement of the moving component, the agitator is driven to operate simultaneously. The agitator moves back and forth in the filling hopper to agitate the filler so that the filler put into the brake pad mold box can be in uniform contact.

[0010] Preferably, there is a moving gap between the unloading platform and the brake pad mold box, and two unloading platforms are provided, with the two unloading platforms corresponding to the front and rear positions of the mounting base, respectively, for step-by-step feeding of the brake pad mold box.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the transfer platform is provided with a waste recycling bin, and the side wall of the transfer platform is equipped with a grinding platform.

[0012] Preferably, the testing component is mounted on a mounting frame, which is located directly in front of the slide rail. When the placement component on the brake pad mold box is reset to its initial position, the testing component can reciprocate along a preset trajectory on the mounting frame to perform a pass / fail test on each of the multiple processed brake pads on the placement component.

[0013] Preferably, the transfer component is set on the transfer platform. After the test piece is inspected, the transfer component will transfer the qualified brake pads to the grinding platform for grinding, and transfer the unqualified brake pads to the waste recycling bin for unified processing.

[0014] Preferably, the processing base is symmetrically provided with feeding bins, and the two feeding bins are respectively located directly above the two unloading platforms, for replenishing the filling material to the filling hopper of the unloading platform.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting up a placement and cleaning unit, the cleaning component is driven by the drive assembly to thoroughly scrape off the residual filler on the surface of the brake pad mold box. After cleaning is completed, the drive assembly drives the placement component to accurately place the steel backing onto the cleaned brake pad mold box. In addition, after processing is completed, the placement component can also smoothly remove the formed brake pad from the brake pad mold box, realizing the integrated operation of cleaning, feeding and unloading.

[0016] 2. By setting up a baffle and agitator, the baffle and agitator are driven by the moving component, which in turn causes the slide bar to move back and forth in the packing. Combined with the vibration generated by the cone block hitting the packing hopper, the packing is prevented from adhering to the hopper wall, thus improving the quality of packing. At the same time, this device does not require manual packing.

[0017] 3. By setting up a testing and transfer unit, the qualified brake pads can be tested and transferred to the grinding platform for further processing, while the unqualified brake pads are transferred to the waste recycling bin for unified disposal. This realizes the automation of testing and transfer, improves production efficiency, and ensures the quality of the products leaving the factory. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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. Example 1:

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 , Figure 4-5A disc brake pad processing device includes a processing base 1, a worktable 2 on the processing base 1, a slide rail 3 mounted on the worktable 2, and a stamping device 10 on the worktable 2, comprising a stamping frame, a stamping cylinder, a stamping head, a guide column, and a control system. When the brake pad mold box 4, carrying the pre-installed steel backing and filler, moves to directly below the stamping head and completes positioning, the control system triggers the stamping cylinder to move. Its output end pushes the stamping head vertically downward along the guide column. The guide column, through sliding cooperation with the stamping frame, strictly limits the movement trajectory of the stamping head. The matching design of the bottom surface of the stamping head and the shape of the steel backing ensures that the pressure can be evenly transmitted to the surface of the steel backing. By setting the preset stamping pressure according to the brake pad material and thickness, the filler and steel backing in the brake pad mold box 4 are tightly pressed together, forming a solid integral structure. After stamping is completed, the control system instructs the stamping cylinder to reverse, driving the stamping head upward along the guide column to reset to the initial position, waiting for the next mold box to arrive, thereby realizing automated continuous stamping operation.

[0022] A brake pad mold box 4 is provided on the slide rail 3. The brake pad mold box 4 is provided with a placement and cleaning section. The placement and cleaning section consists of a placement component and a cleaning component. The placement component is used to position the steel backing on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4, and the cleaning component is used to clean the filler residue on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4.

[0023] The placement component and the cleaning component are linked by a drive assembly. The drive assembly first drives the cleaning component to clean the filler on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4. After cleaning is completed, the placement component is driven to place the steel backing onto the surface of the brake pad mold box 4.

[0024] A mounting base 6 is symmetrically arranged on the processing base 1. A hydraulic rod 7 is provided on the top surface of each mounting base 6. A feeding platform 8 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic rod 7. There is a moving gap between the feeding platform 8 and the brake pad mold box 4. There are two feeding platforms 8, which correspond to the front and rear positions of the mounting base 6 respectively, and are used to feed the brake pad mold box 4 in steps.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4-5 As shown, the solution in this embodiment can be implemented by designing the following structure to place the cleaning unit: The placement component includes a fixing block 43, a rotating rod 44, a first gear 45, a steel backing plate 46, and an electromagnet 47. The fixing blocks 43 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front side of the brake pad mold box 4. The rotating rod 44 rotates through the two fixing blocks 43. The first gear 45 is fixedly connected to the through end of the rotating rod 44. The steel backing plate 46 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 44. The electromagnets 47 are evenly arranged on the top surface of the steel backing plate 46. The diameter of the fixing block 43 is larger than the rotation trajectory range corresponding to the maximum rotation angle of the steel backing plate 46, thereby ensuring that the steel backing plate 46 will not interfere with the brake pad mold box 4 during rotation. At the same time, by controlling the on / off state of the electromagnets 47, it can be ensured that the steel backing plate remains in contact with the steel backing plate 46 during placement without detaching.

[0026] The drive assembly includes an electric push rod 41, a fixed rod 42, and a first rack 421. The electric push rod 41 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the brake pad mold box 4. The fixed rod 42 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 41. The first rack 421 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 42 away from the electric push rod 41. The first rack 421 meshes with the first gear 45. The side wall of the brake pad mold box 4 is provided with a moving groove that matches the first rack 421, which can effectively support the movement of the first rack 421. The extension direction of the moving groove is consistent with the movement direction of the first rack 421, providing precise guidance for the first rack 421.

[0027] The cleaning components include a chute 54, a connecting rod 52, a scraper 5, a first spring 53, a spring rod 521, a protruding rod 51, a collecting plate 55, and a horizontal plate 56. The chute 54 is formed on the side wall of the brake pad mold box 4. The connecting rod 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 54. The scraper 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 52 away from the chute 54. One end of the first spring 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chute 54, and the other end of the first spring 53 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 52. The spring rod 521 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 52. The protruding rod 51 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing rod 42. The collecting plate 55 is set at the front end of the brake pad mold box 4. The horizontal plate 56 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the brake pad mold box 4. Through the contact between the front end of the protruding rod 51 and the spring rod 521, the scraper 5 scrapes the residual filler on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4 after the filling is completed. When the connecting rod 52 moves to the top of the slide groove 54 and cannot move further, while the first rack 421 is still moving, the top of the spring rod 521 will be forced to retract inward, causing the two to separate. Under the action of the first spring 53, the connecting rod 52 and the scraper 5 will be driven back to the bottom of the horizontal plate 56 for storage, thereby avoiding any impact on the placement of the steel backing. When the protruding rod 51 returns to its initial position, it will contact the spring rod 521 again and overcome the elastic pressure of the spring rod 521, causing the top of the spring rod 521 to retract into itself. After the protruding rod 51 and the top of the spring rod 521 are separated, the top of the spring rod 521 will pop out again under the elastic action, thereby ensuring that when the protruding rod 51 moves next time, it can drive the spring rod 521 and the scraper 5 to move synchronously again, so as to achieve continuous cleaning of the filler on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the steel backing is first placed sequentially on the steel backing placement plate 46, and the electromagnet 47 is energized so that the electromagnet 47 attracts the steel backing onto the steel backing placement plate 46. At this time, the brake pad mold box 4 is moved to the bottom of the stamping equipment 10 by the slide rail 3, and the unloading table 8 is driven sequentially by the two hydraulic rods 7 to fill the brake pad mold box 4. After the filling is completed, the electric push rod 41 is activated to push the top fixing rod 42 and the first rack 421 to move in the moving groove. During the movement of the first rack 421, the top protrusion 51 will contact the spring rod 521 and simultaneously drive the spring rod 521 and the connecting rod. As the connecting rod 52 moves within the chute 54, the scraper 5 on the side wall of the connecting rod 52 pushes the filler scattered on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4 into the collecting plate 55. When the connecting rod 52 moves to the front end of the chute 54, and the first rack 421 continues to move forward, the pressure of the protruding rod 51 on the top of the spring rod 521 increases, causing the top of the spring rod 521 to be retracted into the spring rod 521. Therefore, the protruding rod 51 will disengage from the top of the spring rod 521. Under the action of the first spring 53, the connecting rod 52 and the scraper 5 return to the interior of the horizontal plate 56, preventing the scraper 5 from affecting the placement of the steel backing on the steel preparation plate. When the first rack 421 moves continuously, it will mesh with the first gear 45. The first gear 45 rotates under force and drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate. The steel backing plate 46 fixed outside it will then rotate and adhere to the brake pad mold box 4. At this time, the electromagnet 47 is de-energized, and the electromagnet 47 loses its attraction force, so that the steel backing is placed on the surface of the brake pad mold box 4. After the steel back is placed, the electric push rod 41 drives the first rack 421 to reset and move backward. At this time, the first rack 421 meshes with the first gear 45 again. The first gear 45 is subjected to force and rotates again, driving the rotating rod 44 to rotate in the opposite direction. The steel back placement plate 46 outside it then rotates in the opposite direction. Since the electromagnet 47 is not energized, the steel back placement plate 46 will not pull the steel back off the surface of the brake pad mold box 4 when it rotates in the opposite direction. When the steel back placement plate 46 returns to the initial position, the electric push rod 41 stops pushing the first rack 421 to move backward so that the brake pad can be removed from the brake pad mold box 4 after stamping. At this time, the stamping head of the stamping equipment 10 moves down and acts on the steel back on the brake pad mold box 4. The steel back is stamped by the preset pressure, so that the filler in the brake pad mold box 4 is tightly pressed into one piece with the steel back. After stamping is completed, the brake pad mold box 4 is reset via the slide rail 3. At this time, the first rack 421 is pushed forward by the electric push rod 41 to mesh with the first gear 45, causing the steel back plate 46 to rotate to the surface of the brake pad mold box 4. Then, the electromagnet 47 is energized to generate an attraction force, which attracts the stamped brake pads from the brake pad mold box 4 to the steel back plate 46. After that, the first rack 421 is driven backward by the electric push rod 41 to mesh with the first gear 45. The first gear 45 then drives the steel back plate 46 to flip over from the surface of the brake pad mold box 4. The stamped brake pads are then inspected by the inspection and transfer unit. The qualified brake pads are transferred to the grinding platform 16 for grinding, while the unqualified brake pads are transferred to the waste recycling bin 17 for unified processing. Example 2:

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6-8 This embodiment also has the following further features: The unloading platform 8 is equipped with multiple filling hoppers 81. The inside of the filling hopper 81 is equipped with a material blocking and stirring part. The material blocking and stirring part consists of a material blocking component and a stirring component. The material blocking component is used to block the filling in the filling hopper 81 to control the unloading. The stirring component is used to stir the filling that is put into the brake pad mold box 4. The baffle and the agitator are linked by a moving component. The moving component first drives the baffle to open so that the filler in the filler hopper 81 can be put into the brake pad mold box 4. During the movement of the moving component, the agitator is driven to operate simultaneously. The agitator moves back and forth in the filler hopper 81 to agitate the filler so that the filler put into the brake pad mold box 4 can be in uniform contact.

[0030] In this embodiment, the solution can be achieved by designing the material-blocking and stirring section as follows: The baffle includes a slot 812 and a baffle 816. The slot 812 is opened on the side wall of the hopper, and the baffle 816 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 812. The number of baffles 816 corresponds to the number of filling hoppers 81. The moving component includes a bidirectional cylinder 813 and a second rack 814. The bidirectional cylinder 813 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the unloading platform 8, and the second rack 814 is fixedly connected to the output end of the bidirectional cylinder 813. The baffle 816 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second rack 814. The mixing components include a rotating shaft 82, an inclined plate 83, a reciprocating screw 84, a second gear 85, a sliding block 86, a support rod 87, a sleeve rod 88, a slide rod 89, a second spring 810, a conical block 811, and a through groove 815. The rotating shaft 82 is rotatably connected to multiple filling hoppers 81. The inclined plate 83 is evenly arranged on the inner wall of the filling hopper 81. The interior of the inclined plate 83 is hollow, providing rotation space for the rotating shaft 82 and the reciprocating screw 84. The inclined plate 83 can guide the filling to both sides when the material is discharged from the discharge hopper 9, preventing the filling from entering the interior of the inclined plate 83 and affecting the movement of the sliding block 86. The side wall of the inclined plate 83 has a groove to facilitate the sliding of the sliding block 86. Its cross-sectional shape matches the cross-section of the sliding block 86, preventing the sliding block 86 from shifting laterally or falling off during the sliding process, and also preventing the sliding block 86 from rotating with the rotation of the reciprocating screw 84.

[0031] A reciprocating screw 84 is sleeved on a rotating shaft 82. A second gear 85 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 82. A sliding block 86 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 84. A support rod 87 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 86. A sleeve rod 88 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 87. A sliding rod 89 is slidably connected inside the sleeve rod 88. One end of a second spring 810 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve rod 88, and the other end of the second spring 810 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 89. A conical block 811 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve rod 88. Under the action of the sliding block 86, the conical block 811 will contact the filling hopper 81 and impact the filling hopper 81 to make it vibrate, shaking off any seasoning that may be attached to the inner wall of the feeding hopper. A through groove 815 is symmetrically opened on the top surface of the feeding platform 8. A baffle 816 is placed in the through groove 815 for guidance and sliding under the action of the second rack 814.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the brake pad mold box 4 moves to below the stamping equipment 10, the hydraulic rod 7 is activated in sequence to drive the unloading table 8 fixed thereto to move above the brake pad mold box 4 for filling treatment. The two-way cylinder 813 simultaneously drives the two second racks 814 to move inward, so that the baffle 816 on the side wall gradually separates from the slot 812 on the filling hopper 81. The filling in the filling hopper 81 will fall into the brake pad mold box 4. During the process of the baffle 816 separating, the slide bar 89 moves downward under the action of the second spring 810 and inserts into the brake pad mold box 4. When the second rack 814 moves, it meshes synchronously with the second gear 85. The second gear 85 rotates under force, which drives the rotating shaft 82 to rotate and drives the reciprocating screw 84 with the external fixed sleeve to rotate synchronously. This causes the sliding block 86 to move in the inclined plate 83, and drives the sleeve rod 88 and slides back and forth in the filling hopper 81 through the bottom support rod 87. During the movement, the sliding rod 89 will stir the falling filling, so that the filling contacts the brake pad mold box 4 more evenly. After mixing, the dual-cylinder drives the second rack 814 and baffle 816 to reset. When the baffle 816 contacts the inclined surface at the bottom of the slide rod 89, the slide rod 89 is forced upward to press the second spring 810, causing the slide rod 89 to retract into the sleeve rod 88. At this time, the inner surface of the baffle 816 abuts against the slide rod 89. When filling the packing again, the slide rod 89 will reset under the elastic force of the second spring 810 and mix the packing again, thus realizing the automatic mixing operation of the packing during each feeding process. Example 3:

[0033] Reference Figure 3-4 The transfer platform 15 has a waste recycling bin 17 on its side wall and a grinding platform 16 mounted on its side wall. A mounting frame 11 is symmetrically arranged on the workbench 2, and the transfer platform 15 is mounted on its side wall. Both the mounting frame 11 and the transfer platform 15 have inspection and transfer sections, consisting of an inspection component and a transfer component. The inspection component is used to perform a qualification test on the formed brake pads, and the transfer component is used to transfer the inspected brake pads to the next process. The inspection component is mounted on the mounting frame 11, which is located directly in front of the slide rail 3. When the placement component on the brake pad mold box 4 returns to its initial position, the inspection component can reciprocate along a preset trajectory on the mounting frame 11 to perform qualification tests on multiple processed brake pads on the placement component one by one. The transfer component is mounted on the transfer platform 15. After the inspection component completes its test, the transfer component will transfer the qualified brake pads to the grinding platform 16 for grinding, and transfer the unqualified brake pads to the waste recycling bin 17 for unified processing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the detection and transfer unit can adopt the following specific structure to implement the technical solution of the embodiment: The detection components include a guide rail 12, a sliding seat 13, and an infrared ranging sensor 14. The guide rail 12 is located at one end of the mounting bracket 11 near the sliding rail 3. The sliding seat 13 is mounted on the guide rail 12, and the infrared ranging sensor 14 is mounted on the front end of the sliding seat 13. Internally, it consists of an infrared emitting module, an infrared receiving module, a signal processing unit, auxiliary circuitry, and other components. The sensor emits an infrared beam, which is reflected off the brake pad surface and then received. By calculating the round-trip time or phase difference of the light signal, the distance between the sensor and the brake pad surface is determined. Combined with reference data from the sensor's mounting position, the brake pad thickness can be calculated. This infrared ranging sensor 14 is existing technology in this field and will not be described in detail.

[0035] The transfer assembly includes a transfer bracket 151, a motor 152, a drive shaft 153, a rotating plate 154, and a transfer clamp 155. The transfer bracket 151 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer platform 15, the motor 152 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer bracket 151, the drive shaft 153 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 152, and the drive shaft 153 is rotatably connected to the transfer bracket 151. The rotating plate 154 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 153 away from the motor 152, and the transfer clamp 155 is installed at the bottom end of the rotating plate 154. The 55 consists of components such as an electric telescopic rod, an electromagnetic chuck, a vacuum generator, and a pressure sensor. The telescopic rod extends and retracts, causing the electromagnetic chuck to rise and fall to adjust the distance between it and the brake pads. When brake pads need to be picked up, the vacuum generator is activated, causing the relevant adsorption structures to work with the electromagnetic chuck to form an adsorption force. At the same time, the pressure sensor monitors the magnitude of the adsorption force in real time to ensure reliable adsorption of the brake pads. When releasing the brake pads, the vacuum generator is turned off and the power to the electromagnetic chuck is cut off, the adsorption force disappears, and the gripping and transfer of the brake pads is completed.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide rail 12 drives the sliding seat 13 to move on the mounting frame 11, and the infrared ranging sensor 14 at the top detects the processed brake pads. The infrared ranging sensor 14 marks the qualified brake pads and transmits the detection data to the transfer fixture 155. The transfer fixture 155 rotates the brake pads according to the detection results. The motor 152 drives the transmission shaft 153 to rotate, and the rotating plate 154 at the bottom rotates accordingly, which drives the position of the transfer fixture 155 to be adjusted. During the adjustment process, the transfer fixture 155 transfers the unqualified brake pads to the waste recycling box 17, while the qualified brake pads are transferred to the grinding platform 16 for grinding.
