Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a split bar material steering mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the cutting tool industry, round rods are often used to make tool blanks. The so-called tool blanks are also called split rods. The split rods are composed of a large diameter section and a small diameter section. The large diameter section forms the shank of the tool, and the small diameter section is used for later processing with cutting edges of different specifications.

[0003] During the tool processing, the tool needs to be cooled, polished, cleaned, etc. after completing heat treatment. The large diameter section of the split bar is inserted vertically downward into the material tray to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0004] Currently, there are two ways to insert the code disc of the split rod material. One is to insert the disc manually, which has low production efficiency. The other way is to use a clamping robot or a suction cup robot to automatically clamp the code disc. Since the robot needs to perform multiple actions, the structure of the robot is complex, resulting in problems such as high manufacturing and subsequent maintenance costs of the robot. Summary of the invention

[0007] Among them, when the split rod material enters the dividing channel from the feeding channel in a horizontal state, its large diameter section first slides downward along the dividing channel due to the action of gravity, so that the end of the large diameter section first enters the turning channel, and rotates relative to the end of the small diameter section under the resistance of the turning part to enter the blanking channel, and is discharged from the blanking channel in a vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward.

[0008] As a further improvement of the utility model, the feed channel includes a horizontal bottom surface, and two first side walls and a second side wall relatively arranged on both sides of the horizontal bottom surface along the material conveying direction; the distance between the first side wall and the second side wall is slightly larger than the length dimension of the split rod.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the angle between the inclined bottom surface and the horizontal bottom surface is 140° to 160°.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the lower end of the stop plate and the lower end of the finishing plate form a first discharge port that only allows a single material to pass through.

[0015] As a further improvement of the utility model, the distance between the stop surface and the upper end of the guide surface is at least greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the large diameter section of the branch bar.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the blanking channel is a cylindrical channel arranged at the lower end of the second discharge port and arranged along the vertical direction, and the aperture of the cylindrical channel is slightly larger than the diameter of the large diameter section of the split bar; the blanking channel has a feed port connected to the second discharge port, and a third discharge port connected to the rear-end equipment to discharge the split bar in the vertical state.

[0026] A preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 2The utility model provides an embodiment of a split bar material steering mechanism. The overall outline of the steering mechanism provided by the embodiment is in the shape of a "7", and the inner cavity formed by the opening forms a material conveying channel. The materials with a uniform orientation enter the conveying channel from the upper end of the horizontal section and are discharged from the lower end of the vertical section in a vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward. The steering mechanism can be docked with the material tray to complete the insertion of the split bar material. It is understandable that in order to improve work efficiency, a vibration mechanism, such as a linear vibrator, is set on the lower side of the steering mechanism (i.e., the lower outer wall surface of the horizontal section). The movement speed of the material in the conveying channel can be accelerated by vibration to improve work efficiency.

[0028] For details, see Figures 3 to 6 The above-mentioned conveying flow channel includes a feed channel 1, a distribution channel 2, a turning channel 3 and a blanking channel 4 which are arranged in sequence and interconnected along the material conveying direction. The feed channel 1 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the distribution channel 2 is arranged downwardly inclined along the material conveying direction, and the turning channel 3 is provided with a turning piece 31 on one side of the lower end of the distribution channel 2, and the blanking channel 4 is arranged at the lower end of the turning channel 3 in the vertical direction; wherein, when the split rod 100 enters the distribution channel 2 from the feed channel 1 in a horizontal state, its large diameter section slides downward along the distribution channel 2 due to the action of gravity, so that the end of the large diameter section enters the turning channel 3 first, and rotates relative to the end of the small diameter section under the resistance of the turning piece 31 to enter the blanking channel 4, and is discharged from the blanking channel 4 in a vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward. It can be understood that when the split bar 100 is placed on the inclined splitting channel 2, since the large diameter section is heavier than the small diameter section, the movement speed of the large diameter section is greater than that of the small diameter section. After moving a certain distance on the splitting channel 2, the split bar will present a state in which the axis is parallel to the material conveying direction and the large diameter section is facing forward, so that when maintaining this state and continuing to move to the top of the turning channel 3, the rear end of the split bar is stopped by the turning member 31, causing the large diameter section to tilt downward due to its own gravity and fall until the rear end is separated from the restriction of the turning member 31, presenting a vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward and being discharged from the blanking channel 4, thereby realizing automatic turning of the split bar.

[0029] Furthermore, the feed channel 1 includes a horizontal bottom surface 11, and two first side walls 12 and second side walls 13 arranged on both sides of the horizontal bottom surface 11 along the material conveying direction; the distance between the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 is slightly larger than the length of the split rod 100. It can be understood that the upper end opening of the feed channel 1 is connected to a feeding device, such as a vibrating plate, and the feeding device uniformly conveys the split rods 100 with small diameter sections facing one side of the feeding direction into the feed channel 1. Due to the structure of the split rods 100 themselves, during the continuous feeding of the split rods, the split rods are crowded with each other, causing them to move toward one side of the material distribution channel 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the material distribution channel 2 includes an inclined bottom surface 21 arranged downwardly along the material conveying direction, a stop plate 22 and a finishing plate 23 arranged on the inclined bottom surface 21; the stop plate 22 is arranged near the inner side of the second side wall 13 along the material conveying direction, and the finishing plate 23 is arranged inclined from the upper end side away from the stop plate 22 to the lower end side close to the stop plate 22. The angle α between the inclined bottom surface 21 and the horizontal bottom surface 11 is 140° to 160°, preferably α=150°, at which angle, the stroke of the inclined bottom surface 21 is about twice the length of the split rod material, so as to reduce the size of the entire mechanism. In addition, the lower end of the stop plate 22 and the lower end of the finishing plate 23 form a first discharge port 24 that only allows a single material to pass through, that is, the projection of the finishing plate 23 and the stop plate 22 on the horizontal plane is a funnel with one side being a straight line, the front end of the funnel is the first discharge port 24, and the rear end is the feed port docking with the feed channel 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the turning channel 3 includes a guide surface 32 arranged to be inclined downward along the material conveying direction, the upper end of the guide surface 32 is connected to the lower end of the inclined bottom surface 21, and a turning member 31 is formed at the corner of the connection. The angle β between the guide surface 32 and the inclined bottom surface 21 is 110° to 130°, preferably β=120°. In addition, the turning channel 3 also includes a stop surface 33 arranged on the opposite side of the guide surface 32, the stop surface 33 is arranged perpendicular to the material conveying direction, the stop surface 33 and the upper end of the guide surface 32 form a feed port 34 along the horizontal direction and docking with the first discharge port 24, and the lower end forms a second discharge port 35 that only allows a single material to pass through. The distance between the stop surface 33 and the upper end of the guide surface 32 is at least greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the large diameter section of the split bar 100. That is, when the split bar 100 with the large diameter section facing forward and tilted downward is discharged from the first discharge port 24 of the distribution channel 2, after entering the top of the feed port 34, the end surface of the large diameter section abuts against the stop surface 33 and slides downward along the stop surface 33 until the rear end of the split bar leaves the restriction of the steering member 31, presenting a roughly vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward, and is discharged from the second discharge port 35.

[0032] Furthermore, the blanking channel 4 is a cylindrical channel arranged at the lower end of the second discharge port 35 and arranged in the vertical direction, and the aperture of the cylindrical channel is slightly larger than the diameter of the large diameter section of the split bar 100; the blanking channel 4 has a feed port connected to the second discharge port 35, and a third discharge port 41 connected to the rear-end equipment to discharge the split bar in a vertical state. That is, the split bar discharged from the second discharge port 35 of the turning channel 3 continues to slide downward along the cylindrical channel in a completely vertical state and is discharged from the third discharge port 41.

[0033] To sum up, the utility model provides a split bar material steering mechanism, in which the split bar material is conveyed in a direction that is perpendicular to the axis and is converted into a direction that is parallel to the axis through an inclined splitting channel, and its large diameter section is turned downward after passing through the steering channel, and finally discharged in a completely vertical state with the large diameter section facing downward under the guidance of the blanking channel. The structure is simple, easy to maintain, and the mechanism investment cost is low.
