Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steering wheel processing equipment, and more specifically, to an air-cooled precise positioning tool for a steering wheel. Background Art

[0002] The steering wheel body is manufactured by die casting, and the material is mostly aluminum. After die casting by the die casting machine, the steering wheel die casting has gates and die casting flash left on it. Therefore, in the back-end process of die casting, the steering wheel die casting needs to be removed from the gates and flash.

[0003] At present, the air cooling in the die-casting industry is carried out by crawler transmission. The products are not fixed, and the robots cannot automatically grab them, making automation difficult.

[0004] For example, the authorization announcement number CN 218282716 U discloses a machine vision sorting device, which includes a workbench, an air pump and a motor. The motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the front surface of the workbench, one end of the motor is movably connected to a rotating shaft, and a conveyor belt is movably mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A plurality of dividing rods are fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, so that the parts are placed in sections. If the placed parts are piled up together, it will be inconvenient for detection and sorting. A long waste plate is fixedly installed on the surface near the rear side of the top of the workbench, a support frame is fixedly installed near the center of the top surface of the workbench, and a detector is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the support frame. When a problem occurs in the detected parts, the problematic parts are directly sorted out by the clamping structure for re-inspection. A steering wheel is movably installed at the center of the top surface of the workbench, and a mechanical arm is fixedly installed on the top surface of the steering wheel.

[0005] In the above, when the conveyor belt transports the steering wheel, the robot cannot automatically and accurately grasp it, which makes it difficult to automatically grasp the steering wheel and cannot meet the current automated production. When the processed steering wheel is air-cooled, it only passes through the conveyor belt, which makes the air cooling effect poor, and finally causes the air cooling time of the steering wheel to be unstable. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a steering wheel air-cooling precise positioning tooling that can realize the automated production of the steering wheel and improve the air-cooling effect of the steering wheel.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A steering wheel air-cooled precision positioning tool comprises a workbench and a manipulator. The workbench is provided with a plurality of air-cooling units. The air-cooling unit comprises a fixed frame and a positioning bracket connected to the fixed frame. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the workbench, the positioning bracket is inclined, and the positioning bracket is inclined from one side of the fixed frame toward the workbench. A supporting component for placing the steering wheel is provided on the fixed frame. The supporting component is slidably connected to the fixed frame so that the manipulator can grab the steering wheel to the supporting component. A fan and an infrared sensor for air-cooling the supporting component are provided on the positioning bracket. The output end of the fan faces the supporting component. The infrared sensors are electrically connected to the fan and the supporting component. The supporting component comprises a material handle positioning column, a spline positioning column and a spoke plate profiling limit block. The material handle positioning column, the spline positioning column and the spoke plate profiling limit block are all vertically connected to the supporting component, and one end of the material handle positioning column, the spline positioning column and the spoke plate profiling limit block are all fixedly connected to the supporting component.

[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: there are four spoke plate profiling limit blocks, the spline positioning column is arranged between the four spoke plate profiling limit blocks, and the material handle positioning column is arranged outside the four spoke plate profiling limit blocks.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a product positioning reference surface is provided on the spoke plate profiling limit block, which is convenient for placing the steering wheel.

[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: a slide groove is provided on the fixing frame, and the supporting component is placed in the slide groove and is slidably connected with the slide groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The robot places the processed steering wheels on the supporting parts one by one. Because the product placement is fixed and uniform, it is convenient for the robot to grab and place them each time, and the air cooling time is stable, thereby improving the air cooling effect on the steering wheel.

[0014] After placement, the fan is started through the infrared sensor to cool the steering wheel. One steering wheel corresponds to one fan, and the cooling will produce a cycle, one cycle every five minutes. After the cycle is over, the robot will remove the steering wheel from the supporting component in turn and place it on the next processing device. At this time, the infrared sensor detects that there is no steering wheel on the supporting component, and the fan stops working, so that the air cooling process can be automated and perfectly connected with the next process, thereby realizing the automated production of the steering wheel and making the entire die-casting automatic.

[0020] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the steering wheel air-cooled precise positioning tooling includes a workbench 1 and a manipulator 2. The workbench 1 is provided with a plurality of air-cooling units 3. The air-cooling units 3 include a fixing frame 4 and a positioning bracket 5 connected to the fixing frame 4. The fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The positioning bracket 5 is inclined, and the positioning bracket 5 is inclined from one side of the fixing frame 4 to the workbench 1.

[0021] The fixing frame 4 is provided with a slide groove 12, in which a supporting component for placing the steering wheel is installed. The supporting component is placed in the slide groove 12 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 12, so that the manipulator 2 can grab the steering wheel to the supporting component.

[0022] A fan 6 and an infrared sensor 7 for cooling the supporting component are installed on the positioning bracket 5. The output end of the fan 6 faces the supporting component, and the infrared sensor 7 is electrically connected to the fan 6 and the supporting component.

[0023] The supporting component includes a material handle positioning column 8 for placing the material handle on the steering wheel, a spline positioning column 9 for placing the splines on the steering wheel, and a spoke plate profiling limit block 10 for placing the spoke plate on the steering wheel. The material handle positioning column 8, the spline positioning column 9 and the spoke plate profiling limit block 10 are all vertically connected to the supporting component, and one end of the material handle positioning column 8, the spline positioning column 9 and the spoke plate profiling limit block 10 are all fixedly connected to the supporting component.

[0024] There are four spoke plate profiling limit blocks 10, the spline positioning column 9 is placed between the four spoke plate profiling limit blocks 10, the material handle positioning column 8 is placed outside the four spoke plate profiling limit blocks 10, and a product positioning reference surface 11 is provided on the spoke plate profiling limit block 10 to facilitate the placement of the steering wheel.

[0025] Working principle: Robot 2 places the processed steering wheel on the supporting component in sequence, and the parts on the steering wheel are placed on the designated supporting component. Since the product placement is fixed and uniform, it is convenient for robot 2 to grab and place each time, and the air cooling time is stable, thereby improving the air cooling effect of the steering wheel and increasing the product yield.

[0026] After placement, the fan 6 is started to operate through the infrared sensor 7 to cool the steering wheel. One steering wheel corresponds to one fan 6, and the cooling will produce a cycle, one cycle every five minutes. After the cycle is over, the robot 2 will take the steering wheel from the supporting component in turn and place it on the next processing device. At this time, the infrared sensor 7 detects that there is no steering wheel on the upper supporting component, and the fan 6 stops operating, so that the air cooling process can be automated and perfectly connected with the next process, and then the steering wheel can be automated. The production makes the entire die-casting automatic, which changes the traditional manual air cooling and trimming processes.
