Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of disc springs, and in particular to a disc spring sorting and indicating device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, disc springs need to undergo operations such as high pressure and height measurement. After the high pressure operation, the disc springs are sorted according to the results. After sorting, the disc springs enter the corresponding storage boxes. Since the equipment is running continuously, the current method is mostly for operators to manually check whether the storage boxes need to be replaced. Therefore, the number of disc springs in different storage boxes varies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, one of the objectives of this application is to provide a disc spring sorting and indicating device, which has the advantage of being able to accurately control the number of disc springs in the storage box.

[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A disc spring sorting and prompting device includes a sorting mechanism, which includes a material dispensing component and multiple material dispensing channels. The material dispensing component includes a material dispensing plate and a driving component for rotating the material dispensing plate. The rotation of the material dispensing plate is used to guide disc springs into different material dispensing channels. The device also includes a counting module, which is used to count the number of disc springs entering different material dispensing channels. When the number of disc springs entering a certain material dispensing channel exceeds a preset value, a prompt is issued.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement path of unqualified disc springs is changed by the material distribution component during use, thereby enabling the disc springs to be classified. The number of disc springs passing through the material distribution channel is counted by the technical module, and a prompt is given when a preset value is reached, so that the number of disc springs in the storage box can be accurately controlled.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, this application can be further configured as follows: it also includes a control module, which acquires the detection result of the disc spring and controls the corresponding material distribution plate to rotate; a counting module acquires the rotation angle of the material distribution plate; when the material distribution plate rotates to a preset position, the count is incremented by one; after the control module controls the corresponding material distribution plate to rotate, it checks whether the count module has increased; if not, the control module issues a material feeding abnormality notification.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the control module obtains the inspection results of the disc spring and controls the rotation of the material distribution plate. The technical module detects the rotation angle of the material distribution plate. When it rotates to the preset position, the count is increased. Then the control module confirms whether the count has increased. If there is no increase, it indicates that there is a feeding abnormality. Therefore, the increase of the count, through the rotation of the material distribution plate and the confirmation of the control module, greatly reduces the probability of mixing defective products and qualified products.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present application may be further configured such that the driving component includes a cylinder and a rotating rod, the material distribution plate is mounted on the rotating rod, and the cylinder and the rotating rod are eccentrically connected.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material distribution plate needs to rotate during use, the cylinder drives the rotating rod to rotate, thereby driving the material distribution plate to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of changing the movement path of the disc spring.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, this application can be further configured as follows: when the data of the counting module does not increase, the control module obtains the rotation angle of the material distribution plate; when the rotation angle is greater than half of the angle that should be rotated, the control module increments the count by one and sends a confirmation notification; when the rotation angle is less than half of the angle that should be rotated, a material feeding abnormality notification is sent.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, that is, by confirming the rotation angle of the material distribution plate during use, the approximate movement path of the disc spring can be obtained, and the position can be judged and the corresponding notification can be made according to the path, so that the counting of disc springs can be more accurate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, this application may be further configured to include a blocking assembly comprising a blocking plate and a blocking element, the blocking element being used to drive the blocking plate to move and block the material distribution channel used for conveying qualified products.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the sealing component can greatly reduce the probability of defective disc springs mixing into qualified disc springs when the path of defective disc springs is changed.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, this application can be further configured such that the feeding component is used to change the path of the disc spring within the feeding channel for conveying qualified products.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, all disc springs will pass through a material distribution channel used for conveying qualified products. By changing the path of the disc springs in the material distribution channel for conveying qualified products through the material distribution component, the purpose of conveying different disc springs separately can be achieved.

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a disc spring sorting and indicating device, comprising a frame and a sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism includes a material distribution component 2 and multiple material distribution channels 1. In this embodiment, there are three material distribution channels 1, referred to as Channel A, Channel B, and Channel C for ease of description. Channel B and Channel C are located on both sides of Channel A and are connected to Channel A. Channel A is used to transport qualified disc springs. There are two sets of material distribution components 2, which are used to guide the disc springs entering Channel A into Channel B or Channel C, respectively. That is, after the disc spring enters Channel A, it moves downward under the action of gravity. If the disc spring is of Grade A quality, it falls directly into the storage box. If it is of Grade B quality, the material distribution component 2 corresponding to Channel B operates to guide the disc spring's path, causing it to enter Channel B from Channel A. Similarly, if it is of Grade C quality, the material distribution component 2 corresponding to Channel C operates to guide the disc spring's path, causing it to enter Channel C from Channel A. The quantity of Grade A products is the total quantity minus the quantities of Grade B and Grade C products within a period.

[0021] The material distribution assembly 2 includes a material distribution plate 23 and a driving component. The driving component includes a cylinder 21 and a rotating rod 22. The cylinder 21 is rotatably connected to the frame. The cylinder 21 and the rotating rod 22 are eccentrically connected to drive the rotating rod 22 to rotate. The material distribution plate 23 is mounted on the rotating rod 22. The rotating rod 22 drives the material distribution plate 23 to rotate, thereby guiding the disc spring into different material distribution channels 1.

[0022] The disc spring sorting indicator also includes a counting module and a control module. The counting module may include a proximity sensor, an angle sensor, or a micro switch. When a proximity sensor or micro switch is used, the proximity sensor or micro switch is located on the movement path of the piston rod of cylinder 21. When a proximity sensor is used, the rotation angle of the rotating rod 22 is calculated by detecting the position of the piston rod of cylinder 21. When a micro switch is used, the piston rod of cylinder 21 triggers the micro switch, indicating that the rotating rod 22 has rotated by a preset angle, and the sorting plate 23 moves to a preset position.

[0023] When an angle sensor is used, it is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating rod 22.

[0024] The control module obtains the detection result of the disc spring and controls the corresponding material distribution plate 23 to rotate. The counting module obtains the rotation angle of the material distribution plate 23. When the material distribution plate 23 rotates to the preset position, the count is incremented by one. After the control module controls the corresponding material distribution plate 23 to rotate, it checks whether the count module has increased. If not, the control module obtains the rotation angle of the material distribution plate 23. When the rotation angle is greater than half of the angle that should be rotated, the control module increments the count by one and sends a confirmation notification. When the rotation angle is less than half of the angle that should be rotated, a material feeding abnormality notification is sent.

[0025] In one embodiment, the disc spring sorting and indicating device further includes a blocking assembly, which includes a blocking plate and a blocking element (such as a cylinder). The blocking element is used to drive the blocking plate to move and block the sorting channel 1 (channel A) used for conveying qualified products. That is, when there are defective products (such as grade B products), the blocking plate blocks channel A under the action of the blocking element, and the control module controls the corresponding sorting plate 23 to rotate, guiding grade B products into channel B. The control module judges whether the rotation angle of the sorting plate 23 reaches a preset angle (i.e., the minimum angle required to guide the disc spring from channel A to channel B), thereby increasing the quantity of grade B products. If the rotation angle does not reach the preset angle, the control module obtains the rotation angle of the sorting plate 23. When the rotation angle is greater than half of the angle that should be rotated, the control module increments the count and sends a confirmation notification. At this time, channel A remains blocked. When the rotation angle is less than half of the angle that should be rotated, a material feeding abnormality notification is sent. After receiving the confirmation notification, the operator checks Channel A (if a disc spring is present in Channel A, it is transferred to the corresponding storage box in Channel B), sends a confirmation signal to the control module, and the control module increments the count of Grade B products by one and removes the blockage from Channel A.

[0026] In another embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a cover, which is detachably connected to the distribution channel 1. Multiple covers, such as two, are used to seal the ends of channel B and channel C, respectively. When defective products (such as grade B products) are present, the control module controls the corresponding distribution plate 23 to rotate, guiding the grade B products into channel B. The control module determines whether the rotation angle of the distribution plate 23 reaches a preset angle (i.e., the minimum angle required to guide the disc spring from channel A to channel B), thereby increasing the number of grade B products. If the rotation angle does not reach the preset angle, the control module controls the distribution plate 23 corresponding to channel C to rotate, guiding the disc spring and generating a confirmation notification. After receiving the confirmation notification, the operator checks channels B and C (if grade B products are present in channel C, the disc spring is transferred to the storage box corresponding to channel B), and sends a confirmation signal to the control module. The control module then increments the count of grade B products by one.

[0027] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During production, the control module obtains the detection result of the disc spring. If the disc spring is a Grade A product, the material distribution plates 23 of the two material distribution components 2 do not rotate, and the disc spring falls directly into the storage box through channel A. If it is a Grade B product, the rotating plate of the material distribution component 2 corresponding to channel B rotates to guide the path of the disc spring, so that the disc spring enters channel B from channel A. Similarly, if it is a Grade C product, the material distribution component 2 corresponding to channel C works to guide the path of the disc spring, so that the disc spring enters channel C from channel A.

[0028] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
