[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The embodiment of the present application solves the problem that connecting rod loading cannot be automated during the piston connecting rod packaging process by providing a connecting rod loading device based on automatic piston connecting rod packaging.

[0023] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0024] In an embodiment of the utility model, the connecting rod loading device includes: a material trough and a lifting pile; the material trough is arranged at an angle; a plurality of lifting piles arranged at intervals along the Y direction are arranged on the lower side of the material trough, and a through hole for the lifting piles to pass through is provided on the bottom plate of the material trough. The lifting piles are raised and lowered under the drive of their corresponding cylinders. When the lifting piles are lifted, the connecting rods that have rolled to the lower side of the material trough are lifted to realize the loading of the connecting rods, so that the clamping mechanism can grab and pack them. When the lifting piles are lowered, the connecting rods in the material trough roll down to a lower place for replenishment; a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves are provided on the top of the lifting piles, and the wedge-shaped grooves are used to accommodate the connecting rods, so that the lifting piles can stably lift the connecting rods of various specifications and sizes, thereby realizing automatic loading of the connecting rods.

[0025] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a connecting rod loading device based on automatic packaging of piston connecting rods, and the connecting rod loading device comprises: a material trough 10 and a lifting pile 20;

[0028] The material trough 10 is arranged tilted;

[0029] The lower side of the material trough 10 is provided with a plurality of lifting piles 20 arranged at intervals along the Y direction. The bottom plate of the material trough 10 is provided with through holes for the lifting piles 20 to pass through. The lifting piles 20 are raised and lowered under the drive of their corresponding cylinders. When the lifting piles 20 are raised, the connecting rods that have rolled down to the lower side of the material trough 10 are lifted to realize the loading of the connecting rods, so that the clamping mechanism can grab and pack them. When the lifting piles 20 are lowered, the connecting rods in the material trough 10 roll down to the lower position for replenishment.

[0030] A plurality of wedge-shaped grooves 21 are formed on the top of the lifting pile 20 . The wedge-shaped grooves 21 are used to accommodate connecting rods, so that the lifting pile 20 can stably lift connecting rods of various specifications and sizes.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, a positioning step 11 is provided on the lower side of the trough 10, and the positioning step 11 limits the rolling depth of the connecting rod in the trough 10, so that when the lifting pile 20 is lifted, the connecting rod is just located in the wedge-shaped groove 21, preventing the connecting rod from rolling down to between the inner wall of the trough 10 and the lifting pile 20. The lifting of the lifting pile 20 will push the connecting rod out of the trough 10 and drop it.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a Y-direction cylinder 12 is installed on the side wall of the material trough 10, and a push plate 13 is provided at the output end of the Y-direction cylinder 12. The push plate 13 is located in the material trough 10 and moves along the Y-direction under the drive of the Y-direction cylinder 12. It is used to perform Y-direction preparation on the connecting rod in the material trough 10 so that the connecting rod is aligned in the Y-direction before being lifted.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a connecting rod baffle 14 is provided above the material trough 10, and the connecting rod baffle 14 is raised and lowered under the drive of its corresponding cylinder. When the connecting rod baffle 14 is lowered, it blocks the rolling of the connecting rod. When the connecting rod baffle 14 is raised, the blocked connecting rod rolls back to the lower side of the material trough 10, thereby slowing down the rolling speed of the connecting rod, reducing the impact force between the connecting rods, and avoiding damage to the connecting rod surface caused by excessive impact force.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a gantry 15 is arranged above the material trough 10, and both ends of the gantry 15 are fixedly connected to the material trough 10. A Z-direction cylinder 16 is fixed on the gantry 15, and a connecting rod baffle 14 is installed at the output end of the Z-direction cylinder 16, so that the connecting rod baffle 14 rises and falls under the drive of the Z-direction cylinder 16.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the top side of the trough 10 is not provided with a trough wall, so that the connecting rod can be poured into the trough 10 from the top side.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the material trough 10 is supported and fixed by a bracket 17.

[0037] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] In an embodiment of the utility model, the connecting rod loading device includes: a material trough and a lifting pile; the material trough is arranged at an angle; a plurality of lifting piles arranged at intervals along the Y direction are arranged on the lower side of the material trough, and a through hole for the lifting piles to pass through is provided on the bottom plate of the material trough. The lifting piles are raised and lowered under the drive of their corresponding cylinders. When the lifting piles are lifted, the connecting rods that have rolled to the lower side of the material trough are lifted to realize the loading of the connecting rods, so that the clamping mechanism can grab and pack them. When the lifting piles are lowered, the connecting rods in the material trough roll down to a lower place for replenishment; a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves are provided on the top of the lifting piles, and the wedge-shaped grooves are used to accommodate the connecting rods, so that the lifting piles can stably lift the connecting rods of various specifications and sizes, thereby realizing automatic loading of the connecting rods.
