Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a compact flywheel feeder that integrates chip blowing and detection functions. Background Technology

[0002] In automated manufacturing, the flywheel after the drilling process needs to be cleaned by blowing away residual chips, debris, and cutting fluid. Currently, common feeding devices use a fixed frame structure. The flywheel is placed on a tray at a set angle and moves along a guide rail from the feed end to the blowing station to complete the basic blowing task. However, this method has significant shortcomings: firstly, the fixed frame structure requires the feeding device to occupy a large amount of production line space, hindering the compact transformation of the workshop layout; secondly, the flywheel is prone to slight rotation under the impact of high-pressure airflow, causing its actual angle to deviate from the initial set value during feeding. If subsequent processes (such as secondary drilling, assembly, or robotic gripping) directly use the initial angle information, it may lead to machining defects, affecting product yield and production line stability. Therefore, existing technology needs further improvement and development. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this invention provides a compact flywheel feeding device that integrates chip blowing and detection functions.

The first drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting platform, and its output end is connected to the input end of the motion conversion mechanism. The motion conversion mechanism has two output ends, which are respectively connected to the movable frame and the machine base. The motion conversion mechanism is used to convert the unidirectional rotation of the first drive mechanism into two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction, so that the relative displacement of the movable frame relative to the machine base is twice the relative displacement of the mounting platform relative to the machine base. When the first drive mechanism rotates forward, the mounting platform and the movable frame move towards the discharge end; when the first drive mechanism rotates in reverse, the mounting platform and the movable frame move towards the feed end. A mobile pallet assembly includes a pallet frame and a linear drive mechanism. The pallet frame is linearly slidably connected above the mobile frame and is used to limit and support the flywheel. The linear drive mechanism is used to drive the pallet frame to move along the moving direction of the mobile frame. The pallet frame moves in the same direction as the mobile frame. A chip blowing assembly, which is located above the machine and is used to perform a chip blowing process on the flywheel that has been moved to the chip blowing station; A vision inspection component is located above the machine. The vision inspection component is electrically connected to the control component and is used to acquire images of the flywheel after it has been treated by blowing away debris and transferred to the inspection station.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a compact flywheel feeding device integrating chip blowing and detection functions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a machine base 1000, a movable frame assembly 2000, a movable pallet assembly 3000, a chip blowing assembly 4000, and a vision detection assembly 6000. The movable frame assembly 2000, the movable pallet assembly 3000, the chip blowing assembly 4000, and the vision detection assembly 6000 are all connected to the control component circuit.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the machine base 1000 has an infeed end and an outlet end at its two ends, respectively. The movable frame assembly 2000 includes a mounting platform 2001, a movable frame 2002, a first drive mechanism 2100, and a motion conversion mechanism 2200. The mounting platform 2001 is linearly slidably connected to the top of the machine base 1000, and the movable frame 2002 is linearly slidably connected to the top of the mounting platform 2001. The first drive mechanism 2100 is mounted on the mounting platform 2001, and its output end is connected to the input end of the motion conversion mechanism 2200. The motion conversion mechanism 2200 has two output ends, which are respectively connected to the movable frame 2002 and the machine base 1000. Next, the motion conversion mechanism 2200 is used to convert the unidirectional rotation of the first drive mechanism 2100 into two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction, so that the relative displacement of the moving frame 2002 relative to the machine base 1000 is twice the relative displacement of the mounting platform 2001 relative to the machine base 1000. When the first drive mechanism 2100 rotates forward, the mounting platform 2001 and the moving frame 2002 move towards the discharge end, and the moving frame 2002 approaches the feed end of the subsequent processing device. When the first drive mechanism 2100 rotates in reverse, the mounting platform 2001 and the moving frame 2002 move towards the feed end, and the moving frame 2002 approaches the discharge end of the preceding processing device.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the movable frame assembly 2000 in this embodiment also includes a first linear guide mechanism 2300 and a second linear guide mechanism 2400. The mounting platform 2001 is slidably mounted above the machine base 1000 via the first linear guide mechanism 2300, and the movable frame 2002 is slidably mounted above the mounting platform 2001 via the second linear guide mechanism 2400. The axial direction of the first linear guide mechanism 2300 is parallel to the axial direction of the second linear guide mechanism 2400, and their two ends correspond to the feed end and the discharge end, respectively. The first drive mechanism 2100 drives the mounting platform 2001 to move along the axial direction of the first linear guide mechanism 2300 and drives the movable frame 2002 to move along the axial direction of the second linear guide mechanism 2400 via the motion conversion mechanism 2200. The first linear guide mechanism 2300 can accurately guide the mounting platform 2001 to translate along its axis, and the second linear guide mechanism 2400 can accurately guide the movable frame 2002 to translate along its axis.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the motion conversion mechanism 2200 in this embodiment includes a first gear 2201, a first rack 2202, and a second rack 2203. The first drive mechanism 2100 includes a first motor 2101 and a first reducer 2102. The first motor 2101 is connected to the first gear 2201 through the first reducer 2102 to drive the first gear 2201 to rotate. The housing of the first reducer 2102 is fixed to one side of the mounting platform 2001 by the mounting bracket 2103. The first rack 2202 and the second rack 2203 are respectively located at the first… The gear 2201 is parallel to both sides and the axis of the first linear guide mechanism 2300. The first rack 2202 is fixed above the machine base 1000 via the first mounting plate 2204 and meshes with the first gear 2201. The second rack 2203 is fixed on the side wall of the movable frame 2002 and meshes with the first gear 2201. Meanwhile, the first linear guide mechanism 2300 includes a first slide rail 2301 and a first slide rail seat 2302. There are two first slide rails 2301, which are respectively fixed parallel to each other above the machine base 1000. The first slide rail seat 2302 has multiple seats, each divided into two groups. The two groups of first slide rail seats 2302 are parallel to each other and fixed below the mounting platform 2001. Each group of first slide rail seats 2302 slides in slidable engagement with a corresponding first slide rail 2301. The second linear guide mechanism 2400 includes a second slide rail 2401 and second slide rail seats 2402. There are two second slide rails 2401, each parallel to each other and fixed below the movable frame 2002. The second slide rail seats 2402 have multiple seats, each divided into two groups. The two groups of second slide rail seats 2402 are parallel to each other and fixed above the mounting platform 2001. Each group... The second slide rail seat 2402 is slidably engaged with the corresponding second slide rail 2401; the gear-double rack design allows the first motor 2101 to apply two equal and opposite forces to the first rack 2202 and the second rack 2203. With the machine base 1000 fixed, the mounting platform 2001 and the moving frame 2002 move in the same direction, and the relative displacement of the moving frame 2002 relative to the machine base 1000 is twice the relative displacement of the mounting platform 2001 relative to the machine base 1000, so the moving frame 2002 obtains twice the effective stroke.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the motion conversion mechanism 2200 in this embodiment also includes a second mounting plate 2205, a second gear 2206, and a third gear 2207. There are two second mounting plates 2205, which are respectively fixed on the side walls at both ends of the mounting frame 2103. The second gear 2206 is rotatably connected to one of the second mounting plates 2205 and meshes with the first rack 2202. The third gear 2207 is rotatably connected to the other second mounting plate 2205 and meshes with the second rack 2203. The added second gear 2206 and third gear 2207 are driven teeth, which are used to increase the number of meshing teeth to improve the smoothness of the transmission of the motion conversion mechanism 2200, balance the force, and thus achieve more stable and precise reciprocating movement.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the mobile pallet assembly 3000 in this embodiment includes a pallet frame 3100 and a linear drive mechanism 3200. The pallet frame 3100 is linearly slidably connected above the mobile frame 2002 and is used to limit and support the flywheel 10. The linear drive mechanism 3200 is used to drive the pallet frame 3100 to move along the moving direction of the mobile frame 2002. The pallet frame 3100 and the mobile frame 2002 move in the same direction.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the movable pallet assembly 3000 in this embodiment further includes a mounting base plate 3001, a third linear guide mechanism 3300, a fourth linear guide mechanism 3400, and a limiting mechanism 3500. The mounting base plate 3001 is slidably disposed above the movable frame 2002 via the third linear guide mechanism 3300, the axis of which is parallel to the moving direction of the movable frame 2002. The pallet frame 3100 is slidably disposed above the mounting base plate 3001 via the fourth linear guide mechanism 3400, the axis of which is perpendicular to the third linear guide mechanism 3300. The limiting mechanism 3500 corresponds to the fourth linear guide mechanism 3400 and is disposed on the mounting base plate 3001, used to adjust and limit the distance between the pallet frame 3100 and the mounting base plate 3001. The linear drive mechanism 3200 drives the mounting base 3001 and moves the pallet frame 3100 along the axis of the third linear guide mechanism 3300. The pallet frame 3100 and the moving frame 2002 move in the same direction. That is, when the first motor 2101 rotates forward, the mounting platform 2001 and the moving frame 2002 move towards the discharge end, and the pallet frame 3100 moves towards the discharge end simultaneously under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 3200. When the first motor 2101 rotates in reverse, the mounting platform 2001 and the moving frame 2002 move towards the feed end, and the pallet frame 3100 moves towards the feed end simultaneously under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 3200. Based on twice the effective stroke of the moving frame 2002, the pallet frame 3100 can quickly move towards the discharge end or the feed end.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the third linear guide mechanism 3300 in this embodiment includes a third slide rail 3301 and a third slide rail seat 3302. There are two third slide rails 3301, which are respectively fixed parallel to each other on both sides above the movable frame 2002. There are multiple third slide rail seats 3302, which are divided into two groups. The two groups of third slide rail seats 3302 are fixed parallel to each other below the mounting base plate 3001. Each group of third slide rail seats 3302 slides in cooperation with the corresponding third slide rail 3301. The linear drive mechanism 3200 includes a second motor 3201, a second reducer 3202, a fourth gear 3203, a third mounting plate 3204, a third rack 3205, a fourth mounting plate 3206, and a fifth gear 3207. The motor 3201 is connected to the fourth gear 3203 via the second reducer 3202 to drive the fourth gear 3203 to rotate. The housing of the second reducer 3202 is fixed to one side of the mounting base plate 3001 via the third mounting plate 3204. The third rack 3205 is fixed to the side wall of the movable frame 2002 and meshes with the fourth gear 3203. The fourth mounting plate 3206 is fixed to the third mounting plate 3204. The fifth gear 3207 is rotatably connected to the fourth mounting plate 3206 and meshes with the third rack 3205. The second motor 3201 drives the mounting base plate 3001 through the gear and rack engagement and drives the tray frame 3100 to move along the axis of the third slide rail 3301.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the fourth linear guide mechanism 3400 in this embodiment includes a fourth slide rail 3401 and a fourth slide rail seat 3402. There are two fourth slide rails 3401, which are respectively fixed parallel to each other at both ends above the mounting base plate 3001. There are multiple fourth slide rail seats 3402, which are divided into two groups. The two groups of fourth slide rail seats 3402 are fixed parallel to each other below the tray frame 3100. Each group of fourth slide rail seats 3402 slides in cooperation with the corresponding fourth slide rail 3401. The limiting mechanism 3500 includes an adjusting bolt 3501, an elastic plunger 3502, a first mounting seat 3503, and a second mounting seat 3504. The adjusting bolt 3501 passes through the first mounting seat 3503. The fourth slide rail 3401 is located at one end and is threadedly connected to the first mounting base 3503. The elastic plunger 3502 is located at the other end of the fourth slide rail 3401 via the second mounting base 3504 and is threadedly connected to the second mounting base 3504. One end of the adjusting bolt 3501 and the elastic plunger 3502 respectively abut against the wall surface of their corresponding fourth slide rail base 3402. The relative position between the limiting tray frame 3100 and the mounting base plate 3001 can be adjusted by screwing in or out the adjusting bolt 3501 and the elastic plunger 3502. The elastic plunger 3502 has a built-in spring so that its end elastically abuts against the wall surface of the corresponding fourth slide rail base 3402.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pallet frame 3100 has fifth mounting plates 3002 at both ends along the axial direction of the third linear guide mechanism 3300, and positioning wheels 3003 are rotatably mounted on the fifth mounting plates 3002. The movable frame 2002 has limit plates 2003 fixed at both ends along the axial direction of the third linear guide mechanism 3300, and limit seats 2004 that cooperate with the positioning wheels 3003 are provided on the limit plates 2003. The limit plates 2003 are mounted along the axial direction of the fourth linear guide mechanism 3400. A first waist-shaped hole 2003-1 is provided, and the limiting seat 2004 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 2003 through a first fastener passing through the first waist-shaped hole 2003-1. During installation, the moving frame 2002 corresponds to the discharge end of the preceding processing device. By adjusting the position of the limiting seat 2004 on the limiting plate 2003 and the position of the limiting pallet frame 3100 on the mounting base plate 3001, the flywheel processed by the preceding processing device is placed precisely on the pallet frame 3100 at a set angle.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, the pallet frame 3100 in this embodiment includes positioning posts 3101, a pallet top plate 3102, a pallet bottom plate 3103, elastic sleeves 3104, a first linear bearing 3105, and a guide rod 3106. The pallet top plate 3102 has a first through hole 3102-1. Multiple positioning posts 3101 are evenly arranged above the pallet top plate 3102 around the axis of the first through hole 3102-1. Each positioning post 3101 is limited and engaged with the ring sleeve 11 on the flywheel 10. Multiple elastic sleeves 3104 are evenly arranged between the pallet top plate 3102 and the pallet bottom plate 3103 around the axis of the first through hole 3102-1. Each elastic sleeve 3104 has a built-in spring to provide elastic support for the pallet top plate 3102. The first linear bearing 3104... 5. Multiple guide rods 3106 are evenly arranged above the tray bottom plate 3103 around the axis of the first through hole 3102-1. Multiple guide rods 3106 are arranged on the tray top plate 3102 and are slidably connected to the first linear bearing 3105 in a one-to-one manner. The guide rods 3106 and the first linear bearing 3105 provide axial guidance for the elastic support of the elastic sleeve 3104. The bottom end of the guide rod 3106 is provided with a limiting ring that cooperates with the bottom wall of the first linear bearing 3105. In the initial state, under the action of the spring in the elastic sleeve 3104, the limiting ring abuts against the lower wall of the tray bottom plate 3103. When the tray top plate 3102 is subjected to force, the tray top plate 3102 moves along the axis of the guide rods 3106, so that the tray top plate 3102 can buffer and flexibly support the flywheel 10.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of jet nozzles 3004 are evenly arranged on the tray top plate 3102 around the axis of the first through hole 3102-1. Each jet nozzle 3004 has an internal ventilation channel, and its lower end is connected to a compressed air source via a flexible hose. Gas is ejected outward from the upper end of the jet nozzle 3004. A first air pressure sensor is installed in the air path between the jet nozzle 3004 and the compressed air source. The first air pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control component. The first air pressure sensor senses the air pressure in the air path between the jet nozzle 3004 and the compressed air source and transmits the air pressure data to the control component. The control component then... The air pressure data transmitted from the first air pressure sensor is compared with the set data. When the flywheel 10 is placed completely into the tray 3100 at the set angle, the gas ejected from the top of each jet 3004 is blocked by the flywheel 10, affecting the air output of each jet 3004. The air pressure value sensed by each first air pressure sensor rises to the set value or within the set value range, and the control component judges it to be normal. If the air pressure value sensed by one of the first air pressure sensors is different from the set value or is no longer within the set value range, the control component judges it to be abnormal and issues a warning.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the tray bottom plate 3103 is provided with an overpressure protection mechanism 3600. The overpressure protection mechanism 3600 includes a second linear bearing 3601, an abutment rod 3602, a compression spring 3603, and a gas valve switch 3604. The second linear bearing 3601 is fixedly connected to the tray bottom plate 3103, and the abutment rod 3602 is slidably engaged with the second linear bearing 3601. The upper end of the abutment rod 3602 is an abutment joint 3602-1, and the lower end is provided with an abutment ring 3602-2 that mates with the bottom wall of the second linear bearing 3601. The compression spring 3603 is sleeved on the abutment rod 3602, and its two ends abut against the abutment joint 3602-1 and the top wall of the tray bottom plate 3103, respectively. Under normal conditions, there is a compression between the abutment joint 3602-1 and the top plate 3102. In the gap, the air valve switch 3604 is fixed below the tray bottom plate 3103 and connected to the compressed air source through a hose. Under normal conditions, the air valve switch 3604 is cut off from the outside world. A second air pressure sensor is provided on the air line to the compressed air source. The second air pressure sensor is connected to the control component circuit. When the tray top plate 3102 is subjected to an overpressure load and moves down, it presses against the abutment joint 3602-1 of the abutment rod 3602. The abutment ring 3602-2 moves down with the abutment rod 3602 under pressure and acts on the trigger end of the air valve switch 3604, so that the air valve switch 3604 opens the connection with the outside world. The control component receives the air pressure data transmitted by the second sensing device and compares it with the set data. If the air pressure value drops to a certain value or within the set value range, the control component issues an early warning.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the chip blowing assembly 4000 is mounted above the machine base 1000 and is used to perform a chip blowing process on the flywheel that has moved to the chip blowing station. The chip blowing assembly 4000 includes a chip blowing disc 4001 and a first cylinder 4002. The first cylinder 4002 is fixedly connected to the machine base 1000 via a first support frame 1001, and its output end is connected to the chip blowing disc 4001 via a connecting plate 4003. The connecting plate 4003 has a second oblong hole 4003-1, and the connecting plate 4003 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 4002 via a second fastener passing through the second oblong hole 4003-1. The chip blowing disc 4001 can be adjusted relative to the output end of the first cylinder 4002 via the connecting plate 4003 to change its relative position and relative rotation angle. The chip blowing disc 4001 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4003 and has an internal air chamber for blowing. Above the chip tray 4001 is a connecting air nozzle 4004 that communicates with the air chamber. The connecting air nozzle 4004 is connected to a compressed air source via a hose. Below the chip tray 4001, corresponding to the holes formed by the drilling process of the flywheel 10, a nozzle 4005 is installed. The outer ring nozzle 4005 mates with hole one 12, and the central nozzle 4005 mates with hole two 13. The flywheel 10 is placed precisely on the pallet frame 3100 at a set angle. The chip tray 4001 adjusts its relative position and relative rotation angle with respect to the first cylinder 4002 according to the placement position of the flywheel 10. When the flywheel 10 moves to the chip blowing station, the first cylinder 4002 drives the chip tray 4001 to move down until the nozzle 4005 is inserted into hole one 12 and hole two 13, completing the chip blowing process. The blown chips, debris, and cutting fluid can be blown out from the pallet frame 3100.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the vision inspection component 6000 is mounted above the machine base 1000. The vision inspection component 6000 is electrically connected to the control component and is used to acquire images of the flywheel after it has been blown away and transferred to the inspection station. The control component receives the image information acquired by the vision inspection component 6000 and determines the placement angle of the flywheel. The control component is electrically connected to the moving frame component 2000, the moving tray component 3000, and the blown-away component 4000. The vision inspection component 6000 includes a housing 6001, a second cylinder 6002, a sealing plate 6003, a light source 6004, and an industrial camera. The housing 6001 is fixedly connected to the machine base 1000 via a second support frame 1002. There are two second cylinders 6002, symmetrically arranged. On the two opposite outer walls of the housing 6001, the output end of the second cylinder 6002 passes into the housing 6001 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding sealing plate 6003 to open or close the lower opening of the housing 6001. There are two light sources 6004, symmetrically arranged on the other two opposite outer walls of the housing 6001. The industrial camera is located inside the housing 6001. During detection, the second cylinder 6002 drives the sealing plate 6003 to move outward to open the lower opening of the housing 6001, thereby facilitating the industrial camera to capture the image of the flywheel 10. The industrial camera then transmits the image information to the control component. After the acquisition is completed, the second cylinder 6002 drives the sealing plate 6003 to move inward to close the lower opening of the housing 6001, thereby protecting the industrial camera.

[0035] In practical use, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, under the control of the control component, the initial state of the pallet frame 3100 is located on the feeding end side of the moving frame 2002 and corresponds to the discharge end of the preceding processing device. After the flywheel 10 is placed, the pallet frame 3100 moves towards the discharge end under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 3200. When the flywheel 10 moves to the chip blowing station (controlled by the set program), the first cylinder 4002 drives the chip blowing disc 4001 to move down, completing the chip blowing process on the flywheel 10. After the chip blowing process ends, the pallet frame 3100, driven by the linear drive mechanism 3200... The flywheel 10 moves towards the discharge end. When it reaches the inspection station (program control), the second cylinder 6002 drives the sealing plate 6003 to move outward. The industrial camera captures the image of the flywheel 10 and transmits the image information to the control component. The control component receives the image information captured by the vision inspection component 6000 and determines the placement angle of the flywheel. After the acquisition is completed, the second cylinder 6002 drives the sealing plate 6003 to move inward, and the pallet frame 3100 moves towards the discharge end under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 3200. The above steps are repeated.

Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
