Abstract

This invention discloses a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on a production line, including a base, a rotating frame rotatably mounted on the base, a vertically arranged fixed rod fixed inside the rotating frame, a horizontal bar that can slide up and down mounted on the fixed rod, and a clamping structure mounted at the lower end of the horizontal bar. In this device, after the friction plate is processed, it is conveyed to one side of the device via a conveying device. The clamping structure clamps the friction plate, and then the rotating frame rotates. During the rotation of the rotating frame, the horizontal bar cooperates with the track, causing the horizontal bar to drive the clamping structure upward until the clamping structure moves to the unloading area. At this point, the clamping structure lowers the friction plate, while the rotating frame continues to rotate, thus realizing the function of picking up and placing the friction plate. This process requires no human intervention, ensuring that the friction plates are neatly placed, saving labor costs, achieving automation, and improving production line efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lifting and feeding technology, specifically a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on a production line. Background Technology

[0002] After the friction pads are manufactured, they need to be stored uniformly to facilitate their storage and transportation. After production, the friction pads are mostly transported to a designated location via conveyor belts. In existing technology, workers pick up the friction pads transported by the conveyor belt and then put them into designated storage containers.

[0003] When storing friction plates, workers usually stack them in the storage device, that is, the next friction plate is placed on top of the previous one. Based on the storage characteristics of friction plates, this application proposes a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on the production line, which effectively solves the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on a production line, comprising a base, a rotating frame rotatably mounted on the base, a vertically arranged fixed rod fixedly connected inside the rotating frame, a horizontal bar that can slide up and down mounted on the fixed rod, a clamping structure mounted at the lower end of the horizontal bar, an insertion rod movably mounted on the end of the horizontal bar away from the fixed rod, a track provided on one side of the horizontal bar, a track groove provided inside the track, the track having an inclined annular structure, and the insertion rod inserted into the track groove.

[0006] Two parallel fixed rods are installed inside the rotating frame, each with a crossbar. The two crossbars are symmetrically arranged about the center of the track. When the rotating frame rotates, the crossbars rotate with the fixed rods and can slide up and down along the fixed rods.

[0007] A lifting structure that can move up and down is also provided at the upper end of the base. When the rotating frame rotates, the lifting structure can lift the highest point of the track upwards, so that the crossbar can be in different positions when it moves to the highest point of the track.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating frame, the rotating shaft is inserted into the base, and the rotating shaft can rotate. A sliding groove is provided on the fixed rod, and a sleeve block is fixedly connected to the crossbar. The sleeve block is fitted outside the fixed rod, and the inner wall of the sleeve block cooperates with the sliding groove so that the sleeve block can move up and down along the sliding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes a mounting block, which is fixedly connected to the crossbar. A clamping block is provided inside the mounting block, with the lower end of the clamping block extending outside the mounting block. A drive motor is also fixedly connected to the lower end of the crossbar, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The threaded rod extends into the mounting block. There are two clamping blocks, both of which are threadedly engaged with the threaded rod. When the threaded rod rotates, the two clamping blocks can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0010] Furthermore, a turntable is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a rotating disk is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. The turntable and the rotating disk mesh with each other so that the rotating disk can rotate when the rotating shaft rotates. An inclined surface is provided at the upper end of the rotating disk. A positioning rod is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. A movable rod is inserted into the positioning rod. A bracket is fixedly connected to the movable rod. One end of the bracket extends to the rotating disk, and the inclined surface can cooperate with the bracket to push the movable rod upward.

[0011] Furthermore, the actuating wheel has a toothed surface and a smooth surface, the toothed surface meshes with the rotating disk, the inclined surface has an arc-shaped structure, and there is a gap between the first and last ends of the inclined surface for the support to fall down.

[0012] Furthermore, a telescopic part is provided at the highest end of the track, and a connector is fixedly connected to the telescopic part. The connector is inserted into the track and is connected to the track by a spring.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector is a steel strip structure, enabling it to undergo elastic bending.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] When this device is implemented, after the friction pads are processed, they are conveyed to one side of the device via a conveyor. The clamping structure clamps the friction pads (this position can be located at the lowest end of the track). Then, the rotating frame rotates, and during the rotation of the rotating frame, the crossbar cooperates with the track, so that the crossbar drives the clamping structure to move upward until the clamping structure moves to the unloading area (this position is the highest end of the track). At this time, the clamping structure puts down the friction pads, and the rotating frame continues to rotate, thus realizing the function of picking up and placing the friction pads. This process does not require personnel intervention, ensuring that the friction pads can be neatly placed. This not only saves labor costs but also realizes automation and improves the efficiency of the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] Depend on Figure 1-7 This invention discloses a friction plate gripping and placement structure based on a production line, including a base 1. A rotating frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. A vertically arranged fixed rod 7 is fixed inside the rotating frame 3. A horizontal bar 4 that can slide up and down is mounted on the fixed rod 7. A clamping structure is installed at the lower end of the horizontal bar 4. An insertion rod 10 is movably mounted on the end of the horizontal bar 4 away from the fixed rod 7. A track 6 is provided on one side of the horizontal bar 4. A track groove 14 is provided inside the track 6. The track 6 has an inclined annular structure. The insertion rod 10 is inserted into the track groove 14.

[0027] Two parallel fixed rods 7 are installed inside the rotating frame 3, and each fixed rod 7 is equipped with a crossbar 4. The two crossbars 4 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the track 6. When the rotating frame 3 rotates, the crossbars 4 rotate together with the fixed rods 7, and the crossbars 4 can slide up and down along the fixed rods 7.

[0028] A lifting structure that can move up and down is also provided at the upper end of the base 1. When the rotating frame 3 rotates, the lifting structure can lift the highest point of the track 6 upwards, so that when the crossbar 4 moves to the highest point of the track 6, the crossbar 4 can be in different positions.

[0029] When this device is implemented, after the friction pads are processed, they are conveyed to one side of the device by a conveying device. The clamping structure clamps the friction pads (this position can be located at the lowest end of the track 6). Then the rotating frame 3 rotates, and during the rotation of the rotating frame 3, the crossbar 4 cooperates with the track 6, so that the crossbar 4 drives the clamping structure to move upward until the clamping structure moves to the unloading area (this position is the highest end of the track 6). At this time, the clamping structure puts down the friction pads, and the rotating frame 3 continues to rotate, thereby realizing the function of picking up and placing the friction pads. In this process, no personnel are required to participate, ensuring that the friction pads can be neatly placed.

[0030] The simultaneous use of the two crossbars 4 increases the efficiency of friction plate handling.

[0031] In conjunction with the use of the insertion rod 10, the friction pads can be lowered to different heights, avoiding the situation where the friction pads are not neatly stacked or the already stacked friction pads are pushed when they are placed in the same position.

[0032] The clamping structure can be controlled by a control system, that is, the clamping structure can be activated after moving to a predetermined position to clamp the friction plate, and can be deactivated after moving to another position to release the friction plate. Alternatively, it can be controlled by a control switch. The above control methods are all implemented by those skilled in the art based on existing technology.

[0033] A rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 3. The rotating shaft 2 is inserted into the base 1 and can rotate. A sliding groove 9 is provided on the fixed rod 7. A sleeve block 8 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 4. The sleeve block 8 is sleeved on the fixed rod 7, and the inner wall of the sleeve block 8 cooperates with the sliding groove 9 so that the sleeve block 8 can move up and down along the sliding groove 9.

[0034] The rotation of shaft 2 is driven by a motor.

[0035] The fit between the sleeve block 8 and the slide groove 9 is achieved by a slider (not shown in the figure) installed inside the sleeve block 8, which fits into the slide groove 9.

[0036] The clamping structure includes a mounting block 5, which is fixedly connected to a crossbar 4. A clamping block 13 is provided inside the mounting block 5, with the lower end of the clamping block 13 extending outside the mounting block 5. A drive motor 11 is also fixedly connected to the lower end of the crossbar 4. A threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11, and the threaded rod 12 extends into the mounting block 5. There are two clamping blocks 13, and both clamping blocks 13 are threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 12. When the threaded rod 12 rotates, the two clamping blocks 13 can move closer to or further away from each other.

[0037] The relationship between the threaded rod 12 and the clamping block 13 is as follows: First, the threaded rod 12 has two opposite threads; second, the internal threads in the two clamping blocks 13 have opposite directions of rotation, so as to realize the function of the two clamping blocks 13 moving closer to each other / away from each other when the threaded rod 12 rotates.

[0038] A turntable 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2, and a rotating disk 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. The turntable 15 and the rotating disk 16 mesh with each other so that when the rotating shaft 2 rotates, the rotating disk 16 can rotate accordingly. An inclined surface 17 is provided at the upper end of the rotating disk 16. A positioning rod 18 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. A movable rod 20 is inserted into the positioning rod 18. A bracket 19 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 20. One end of the bracket 19 extends onto the rotating disk 16, and the inclined surface 17 can cooperate with the bracket 19 to push the movable rod 20 upward.

[0039] The rotation of the pivot 2 lifts the movable rod 20 upwards, thereby making the lifting height of the track 6 correspond to the number of friction pads stacked, so as to ensure that the friction pads are stacked more neatly.

[0040] The actuating wheel 15 has a toothed surface and a smooth surface. The toothed surface meshes with the rotating disk 16. The inclined surface 17 has an arc-shaped structure, and there is a gap between the first and second ends of the inclined surface 17 for the support 19 to fall.

[0041] A telescopic section 21 is provided at the highest end of the track 6, and a connector 22 is fixedly connected to the telescopic section 21. The connector 22 is inserted into the track 6 and is connected to the track 6 by a spring 23. The connector 22 is a steel strip structure, which allows it to bend elastically, thereby allowing the crossbar 3 to slide along the track 6 and the telescopic section 21. The track 6 and the telescopic section 21 form a complete ring structure, and the track 6 is fixedly mounted on the base 1.

[0042] In the specific implementation, in order to ensure that the crossbar 4 can slide up and down stably, a rod (not shown in the figure) can be fixed to the sleeve block 8. One end of the rod extends into the slide groove 9, so that the sleeve block 8 can rise and fall more stably.

[0043] 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.
