Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot forming material discharging positioning equipment, in particular to an adjustable material discharging positioning baffle mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Hot stamping and hot forming are currently the most commonly used and efficient production methods for parts production in the automotive industry. The existing hot forming and hot stamping process heats the material in a furnace, and then the heated material is grabbed by a robot arm and placed on a stamping lathe for stamping. When the heated material is transported to the outside, materials of different specifications need to be grabbed by robots at different positions. However, the existing conveying equipment cannot accurately control the conveying distance, which may easily cause the robot arm to be unable to accurately grab the material, or even fall from the robot arm during transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to set a positioning baffle to limit the position of the material to facilitate the robot arm to grab the material.

[0003] At present, the hot stamping hot forming discharge positioning baffle assembly generally has one positioning baffle assembly for each product. The disadvantage is that the positioning baffle assembly is welded and cannot adapt to different parts. Each mold needs to develop a separate positioning baffle assembly. Even if the parts are similar in shape and size, the development of a large number of positioning baffle assemblies requires more investment and storage also takes up more space. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides an adjustable discharging positioning baffle mechanism to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] An adjustable discharging positioning baffle mechanism includes a baffle assembly and a driving assembly sleeved on the baffle assembly. The baffle assembly includes a baffle, a connecting pipe arranged on the baffle, and an internally threaded tube fixedly arranged in the connecting pipe. The driving assembly includes an outer shell sleeved on the connecting tube, a connecting piece arranged at an end of the outer shell away from the baffle, a bearing embedded in the connecting piece, a screw rod passing through the bearing and screwed in the internally threaded tube, and a rotating handle fixedly arranged on the end of the screw rod away from the baffle, and when the rotating handle is rotated, the screw rod is driven to rotate to drive the baffle assembly to reciprocate along the axial direction of the screw rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is arranged in a middle area of ​​the baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting pipe and the blocking piece are vertically arranged.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is a square pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the internally threaded pipe and the connecting pipe have the same length.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the internally threaded pipe is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the outer shell is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe, and the outer shell is slidably plugged with the connecting pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer contour of the connecting piece is annular.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable material discharging positioning baffle mechanism provided by the utility model can quickly adjust the position of the baffle through the rotating handle and the screw in the driving assembly to accurately control the terminal position of the material on the conveying equipment, so that the robot can accurately grasp the material. And when grasping materials of different specifications, it is no longer necessary to develop a positioning baffle for each mold separately, which saves development costs and avoids the problem of stacking and occupying space when not in use. Therefore, the adjustable material discharging positioning baffle mechanism has high practical value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 The utility model provides an adjustable discharging positioning baffle mechanism.

[0015] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an adjustable hot forming common discharge positioning baffle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is a further detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present invention herein is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of an adjustable discharge positioning baffle mechanism provided by the utility model. The adjustable thermoforming common discharge positioning baffle includes a baffle assembly 10 and a drive assembly 20 sleeved on the baffle assembly 10. It can be imagined that the adjustable thermoforming common discharge positioning baffle also includes some other functional structures, such as assembly chamfers, assembly components, installation components, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0018] The baffle assembly 10 includes a baffle 11 , a connecting pipe 12 disposed on the baffle 11 , and an internally threaded pipe 13 fixedly disposed in the connecting pipe 12 .

[0019] The outer contour of the baffle 11 can be a long rectangle. The shape and thickness of the baffle 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as round, square, etc., to meet different production needs.

[0020] The connecting tube 12 is arranged in the middle area of ​​the baffle 11, so that the load can be evenly distributed after the baffle 11 is connected to the connecting tube 12. The connecting tube 12 can also be connected close to one side of the baffle 11 to increase the unidirectional load after the connection, that is, the side that contacts the thermoformed sheet. The baffle 11 and the connecting tube 12 are assembled into a whole. The positional relationship between the baffle 11 and the connecting tube 12 can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the baffle 11 and the connecting tube 12 are vertically arranged. The connection method between the baffle 11 and the connecting tube 12 is welding, which is a prior art and will not be repeated here. The connecting tube 12 is a square tube, which is used to cooperate with the drive assembly 20, and will be explained in conjunction with the drive assembly 20 below.

[0021] The internally threaded tube 13 is fixedly arranged in the connecting tube 12, and the length of the internally threaded tube 13 is less than or equal to the length of the connecting tube 12. The outer diameter of the internally threaded tube 13 is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting tube 12, so that after the internally threaded tube 13 is inserted into the connecting tube 12, the end surface facing the baffle 11 can contact the baffle 11, and the inner side wall of the connecting tube 12 fits with the outer side wall of the internally threaded tube 13, so that the internally threaded tube 13 is fixed in the connecting tube 12, so that the internally threaded tube 13, the connecting tube 12 and the baffle 11 form a whole.

[0022] The driving assembly 20 includes an outer shell 21 sleeved on the connecting tube 12, a connecting piece 22 arranged at one end of the outer shell 21 away from the baffle 11, a bearing 23 embedded in the connecting piece 22, a screw rod 24 passing through the bearing 23 and screwed into the internal threaded tube 13, and a rotating handle 25 fixedly arranged on the end of the screw rod 24 away from the baffle 11.

[0023] The inner diameter of the outer shell 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting tube 12, and it is slidably connected with the connecting tube 12 so that when the screw 24 rotates, it can drive the connecting tube 12 to reciprocate relative to the outer shell 21, while protecting and guiding the connecting tube 12, and the discharge positioning baffle mechanism can also be installed and fixed to external equipment through the outer shell 21.

[0024] The cross section of the connecting member 22 is annular, and is fixedly arranged on the end of the outer shell 21 facing away from the baffle 11. The connecting member 22 is used to arrange the bearing 23 and protect the bearing 23. The bearing 23 can be a rolling bearing, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] The screw rod 24 is threadedly arranged in the internal threaded tube 13. The free end of the screw rod 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 25, that is, when the rotating handle 25 rotates, the screw rod 24 is driven to rotate to drive the baffle assembly 10 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the screw rod 24. The length of the screw rod 24 can be set according to the actual stroke length requirements. And the maximum length of the screw rod 24 is equal to the length of the internal threaded tube 13, so as to prevent the baffle assembly 10 from coming out of the outer shell 21 when adjusting the length. Specifically, when the length of the screw rod 24 is greater than the length of the internal threaded tube 13, when the baffle assembly 10 extends outward to the maximum length, the outer shell 21 and the connecting tube 12 are no longer in a sliding connection state. At this time, the outer shell 21 cannot limit the rotation of the connecting tube 12. If the screw rod 24 continues to be rotated, the baffle assembly 10 will rotate with the screw rod 24, which is easy to hurt the human body and equipment.

[0026] When in use, the discharge positioning baffle mechanism is first fixed to the thermoforming equipment through the outer shell 21, and the operator drives the screw 24 to rotate by turning the rotating handle 25, driving the baffle assembly 10 connected to the screw 24 to extend and retract, thereby reaching the actual required baffle position. When the thermoforming machine is working, the baffle 11 can be blocked at a certain position to facilitate the robot hand to grab the thermoforming sheet at the preset position.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable material discharging positioning baffle mechanism provided by the utility model quickly adjusts the position of the baffle 11 through the rotating handle 25 and the screw 24 in the driving assembly 20 to accurately control the terminal position of the thermoforming sheet on the conveying device, so that the robot can accurately grab the thermoforming sheet. And when grabbing thermoforming sheets of different specifications, it is no longer necessary to develop a positioning baffle for each mold separately, saving development costs and avoiding the problem of stacking and occupying space when the old positioning is not in use. Therefore, the adjustable material discharging positioning baffle mechanism has a high practical value.

[0028] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent substitution or improvement within the spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
