DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in , this embodiment provides an automatic feeding device. Taking the feeding of the piston 40 used in the assembly process of the hydraulic shock absorber as an example, the automatic feeding device includes a conveying mechanism 10 for storing and conveying the piston 40 and a flipping and transferring mechanism 20 for clamping the piston 40 and transferring it from the first position to the second position. The flipping and transferring mechanism 20 includes a clamping assembly 21, a first drive assembly 22 and a second drive assembly 23; the clamping assembly 21 is arranged on the second drive assembly 23, and the second drive assembly 23 is arranged on the first drive assembly 22. The second drive assembly 23 is used to drive the clamping assembly 21 to rotate around an axis, and the first drive assembly 22 is used to drive the clamping assembly 21 to lift and lower; the clamping assembly 21 includes two clamping jaws 211 for clamping the piston 40 and a power component 212 for driving the clamping jaws 211 to open, close and rotate.

[0029] In this way, the piston automatic feeding device clamps the piston 40 through the clamping assembly 21, the clamping assembly 21 can be rotated to turn over the piston 40, the second driving assembly 23 is used to drive the clamping assembly 21 to rotate around an axis, and the first driving assembly 22 is used to drive the clamping assembly 21 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the feeding of the piston 40 from the first position to the second position, wherein the first position is on the conveying mechanism 10, and the second position is the piston loading position on the valve sheet sorting equipment, thereby realizing automatic feeding to the valve sheet sorting equipment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first drive component 22 includes a base plate 221, a sliding frame 222 and a first cylinder 223. The base plate 221 is used to support the first drive component 22. The base plate 221 is usually fixedly mounted on a support, such as a valve plate sorting device. The sliding frame 222 is arranged on the base plate 221 through a slide rail 224. There are two slide rails 224, and the slide rails 224 are arranged in a vertical direction. The first cylinder 223 is arranged on the base plate 221. The push rod of the first cylinder 223 is connected to the sliding frame 222 to drive the sliding frame 222 to move. The second drive component 23 is arranged on the sliding frame 222.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second driving assembly 23 includes a second cylinder 231, which is disposed on the sliding frame 222. The second cylinder 231 is a rotary cylinder, and the power component 212 is disposed on the turntable of the second cylinder 231 through the mounting plate 232. The turntable of the second cylinder 231 rotates around an axis in a vertical direction, thereby driving the clamping assembly 21 to rotate on a horizontal plane.

[0032] Exemplarily, the power component 212 in this embodiment adopts a swing air gripper of model MRHQ25D-180S, and the two clamping jaws 211 are respectively connected to the fingers of the power component 212.

[0033] In this embodiment, the automatic piston feeding device also includes a visual detection component 31 arranged above the first position. The visual detection component 31 is used to detect the state of the piston 40 to control the rotation of the clamping component 21. The visual detection component 31 includes a visual camera 311. The visual camera 311 can take a picture of the piston 40 at the first position and compare it with the standard photo in the system to determine the front and back of the piston 40. If it is a reverse piston 40, it needs to be rotated to flip it after the clamping component 21 clamps the piston 40.

[0034] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 10 includes a frame 11, a conveyor belt 12, a motor 13 and a conveying stopper 14. The conveyor belt 12 is arranged on the frame 11. The motor 13 drives the conveyor belt 12 to rotate. The conveying stopper 14 is arranged at the tail end of the conveyor belt 12, and the conveying stopper 14 is used to limit the first position. The conveying stopper 14 is arranged on the frame 11, and a groove 141 for accommodating the limiting piston 40 is provided on the side surface of the conveying stopper 14 facing the conveyor belt 12. Exemplarily, the groove 141 is a V-shaped groove or an arc groove whose length direction is perpendicular to the conveyor belt 12.

[0035] In this way, the piston 40 moves on the conveyor belt 12 and is blocked by the conveying block 14, and stays at the first position. After the two jaws 211 of the clamping assembly 21 clamp the piston 40, it moves upward away from the conveyor belt 12 driven by the first driving assembly 22, and rotates to above the second position driven by the second driving assembly 23. The first driving assembly 22 drives the clamping assembly 21 to descend, thereby placing the piston 40 at the second position, and the clamping assembly 21 is released to complete the feeding of the piston 40.

[0036] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a guide baffle 15 disposed above the conveyor belt 12. The guide baffle 15 is disposed on the frame 11. There are two guide baffles 15. The two guide baffles 15 guide each other so that the piston 40 is conveyed to the first position. The minimum distance between the two guide baffles 15 is just enough for one piston 40 to pass through, so that the pistons 40 can be conveyed to the first position one by one in a row. In addition, a material block 17 can be disposed on the guide baffle 15. The material block 17 is used to prevent the piston 40 from being blocked after being squeezed. A scraper 16 is also disposed above the conveyor belt 12. The scraper 16 ensures that the material is conveyed in a single layer to prevent stacking.

[0037] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 10 further includes a detection sensor assembly 18, which is used to detect the presence or absence of the piston 40 at the first position to control the operation of the motor 13. The detection sensor assembly 18 includes a photoelectric sensor disposed on the frame 11, the photoelectric sensor is of a beam-through type, and the photoelectric sensor is disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 12. The two clamping jaws 211 are also provided with light holes 2111 for avoiding light from the photoelectric sensor.
