Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engine connecting rod technology, and more specifically to a compact, adjustable suspension transmission device for engine connecting rods. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapid development of modern manufacturing, engine connecting rod forging plays a crucial role, involving the production of key equipment such as engines. However, with continuous technological advancements, the manufacturing industry faces increasingly higher demands for production efficiency and product quality. Against this backdrop, automated production has become an urgent need to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and... Reduce human intervention while ensuring the production of high-quality products.

[0003] The machining of engine connecting rods involves multiple processes, requiring numerous transfers. In automated production lines, efficient and reliable inter-process transfer of parts is crucial. For precision parts like connecting rods, automated transfer between processes with varying heights and confined spaces is particularly challenging. Current solutions, such as dedicated transfer mechanisms using stepping beams and clamping fingers, while enabling multi-station transfer, typically have specific installation space requirements. In layouts with significant height differences and limited lateral space, interference or adjustment difficulties can easily arise, lacking sufficient spatial adaptability and height adjustment flexibility. Furthermore, using large industrial robots is costly and prone to collisions in confined spaces; manual transfer is inefficient and prone to damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact, adaptable, and precise automated transfer device capable of transferring connecting rod parts accurately and without damage in confined spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a compact engine connecting rod attitude adjustable suspension transmission device for transmission between connecting rod automated processes when the heights are inconsistent and there is no definite height difference, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] This invention provides a compact, adjustable-position suspended transmission device for engine connecting rods, comprising: a support beam, an adjusting screw bracket, a steering shaft bracket, and a connecting rod conveyor belt. The support beam is horizontally connected to the frame of the connecting rod processing equipment to which the connecting rod conveyor belt is to be installed, or to a wall near the connecting rod processing equipment, by welding or bolting. A slotted hole is formed on the support beam along the direction of the connecting rod conveyor belt. The adjusting screw bracket consists of multiple adjusting bolts and fixing nuts threaded onto the adjusting bolts. The tops of the multiple adjusting bolts are fixed to the slotted hole by the fixing nuts. The steering shaft bracket includes: two side plates connecting the two side supports of the connecting rod conveyor belt, and an adjusting shaft seat connecting the tops of the two side plates. The adjusting shaft seat is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting bolts by fixing bolts. The angle of the connecting rod conveyor belt is adjusted by adjusting the angle between the side plates and the adjusting shaft seat, and the height of the connecting rod conveyor belt is adjusted by adjusting the height of the adjusting bolts and the steering shaft bracket.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple adjustment slots are provided on the supports on both sides of the connecting rod conveyor belt along the length direction. The side plates are fixed to the adjustment slots by bolts. By adjusting the connection between the side plates and the corresponding adjustment slots, the position of the connecting rod conveyor belt can be finely adjusted.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supporting beam is a rectangular tube.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of adjusting bolts are evenly distributed and fixed to the strip hole of the rectangular tube by fixing nuts.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting shaft seat is a steering square steel, and the two ends of the steering square steel are connected to the connecting holes of the side plate through bolts and nuts. The rotation angle between the steering square steel and the side plate is adjusted by bolts and nuts, and then locked and fixed by nuts after adjustment.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a through hole is provided in the middle of the steering square steel, the bottom of the adjusting bolt passes through the steering square steel and is locked in place by a nut, and two fixing nuts are respectively located on the upper and lower surfaces of the steering square steel for locking the steering square steel.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, since the engine connecting rod is relatively lightweight, the connecting rod transmission belt is a flat belt drive belt (the structure of a flat belt drive belt is existing technology).

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: it can be adapted to the narrow layout space between automated workstations with linkages, and the structural angle and installation height are adjustable; there is no extra space occupied at the bottom of the equipment, and when the lower conveyor belt fails due to damage, the entire unit can be quickly replaced, reducing downtime for maintenance.

[0015] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth for illustrative purposes and to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it will be apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form for ease of description of one or more embodiments.

[0016] See Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a compact engine connecting rod attitude adjustable suspended transmission device, including: a support beam 1, an adjusting screw bracket 2, a steering shaft bracket 3, and a connecting rod conveyor belt 4. The support beam 1 is bolted horizontally to the frame of the connecting rod processing equipment to which the connecting rod conveyor belt is to be installed, or to a wall near the connecting rod processing equipment. The support beam 1 has a strip hole 5 along the direction to which the connecting rod conveyor belt is to be conveyed. The adjusting screw bracket 2 consists of multiple adjusting bolts 6 and fixing nuts 7 threaded onto the adjusting bolts 6. The tops of the multiple adjusting bolts 6 are fixed to the strip hole 5 by the fixing nuts 7. The adjusting bolts 6 pass through the strip hole 5 and are locked by two fixing nuts 7. The steering axle frame 3 includes: two side plates 8 connecting the two side supports (support frames of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4) of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4, and an adjusting axle seat 9 connecting the top of the two side plates 8. The adjusting axle seat 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting bolt 6 by the fixing bolt 7. The angle of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the side plates 8 and the adjusting axle seat 9. The height of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the height between the adjusting bolt 6 and the steering axle frame 3.

[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the supporting beam 1 is a rectangular tube. Multiple adjusting bolts 6 are evenly distributed and fixed to the strip holes 5 of the rectangular tube by fixing nuts 7.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adjusting shaft seat 9 is a steering square steel. Both ends of the steering square steel are connected to the connecting holes of the side plate 8 via bolts and nuts. The rotation angle between the steering square steel and the side plate is adjusted via the bolts and nuts, and then locked in place by the nuts after adjustment. A through hole is provided in the middle of the steering square steel, through which the bottom of the adjusting bolt 6 passes and is locked in place by a nut. Two fixing nuts are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the steering square steel, respectively, for locking the steering square steel. In this embodiment, at least one nut is used when locked.

[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple adjustment slots 10 are provided on the supports on both sides of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4 along the length direction. The side plate 8 is fixed to the adjustment slots 10 by bolts. By adjusting the connection between the side plate 8 and the corresponding adjustment slots 10, the position of the connecting rod conveyor belt 4 can be finely adjusted. Since the engine connecting rod is relatively light, the connecting rod conveyor belt 4 adopts a flat belt drive (the structure of the flat belt drive is existing technology).

[0020] Working principle: The top support beam 1 is horizontally connected to the nearest frame / wall / equipment via welding, bolts, or other methods. By adjusting the length of the bolts 6 and the spacing between the screws, the connecting conveyor belt 4 can be adjusted to different heights, angles, and travel directions to achieve its horizontal projection length. This adapts to automated transmission between processes with varying heights and limited space, and can also accommodate changes in the height of other processes. It has strong adaptability. The section below the support beam 1 can be used as a single module; if damaged, it can be quickly replaced by simply loosening two nuts, reducing the average equipment repair time.

[0021] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
