[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] According to the embodiment of the utility model, an alignment device and a conveyor line are provided. Figures 1 to 3 , including: a material transfer mechanism, the material transfer mechanism is used to transfer the first material 10 and the second material 20 to the material assembly mechanism 1 according to the sequence of processes; the material assembly mechanism 1 includes an assembly groove 11 and an assembly transfer mechanism 12, the assembly groove 11 is used to accommodate the first material 10 and the second material 20, and the assembly transfer mechanism 12 transfers the first material 10 and the second material 20 that have arrived at the material assembly mechanism 1 to the assembly groove 11 in sequence to complete the assembly of the first material 10 and the second material 20.

[0024] Through the above arrangement, the first material 10 and the second material 20 arrive at the material assembly mechanism 1 in sequence, and the arrived first material 10 and the second material 20 are transferred to the assembly groove 11 in sequence through the assembly transfer mechanism 12, so that the first material 10 and the second material 20 are stacked in the assembly groove 11 according to a preset sequence, thereby completing the alignment of the first material 10 and the second material 20, freeing up manpower, reducing alignment errors, improving alignment efficiency and production efficiency, and solving the technical problem of low production efficiency of the end cover in the related technology.

[0025] When the alignment device in this embodiment is applied to the assembly process of the end cover, the first material 10 and the second material 20 are respectively sealing cover one and sealing cover two. The sealing cover one and the sealing cover two are stacked according to a preset installation sequence, thereby realizing automatic alignment of the oil filler end cover and improving the production efficiency of the end cover.

[0026] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The material assembly mechanism 1 includes a receiving platform 13 for receiving the first material 10 and the second material 20, and the receiving platform 13 is connected to the assembly groove 11; the assembly transfer mechanism 12 includes an assembly cylinder 14, and the assembly cylinder 14 pushes the first material 10 and the second material 20 arriving at the receiving platform 13 into the assembly groove 11 in sequence.

[0027] Specifically, the height of the assembly groove 11 is lower than the receiving platform 13 , and when two materials enter the assembly groove 11 in sequence, the two materials are stacked.

[0028] It is understandable that the width of the assembly groove 11 is close to the width of the material, so as to play a role in positioning the material and avoid alignment errors caused by the excessive width of the assembly groove 11.

[0029] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The material assembly mechanism 1 includes an assembly detection sensor 15 disposed on the receiving platform 13, and the assembly detection sensor 15 is used to detect whether the first material 10 or the second material 20 has arrived. By setting the assembly detection sensor 15 to detect whether the first material 10 or the second material 20 has arrived, the assembly cylinder 14 is controlled to move according to the arrival information of the material.

[0030] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 , 3The alignment device includes a first conveying mechanism 21 for conveying the first material 10 and a second conveying mechanism 22 for conveying the second material 20. The material transfer mechanism includes: a first transfer mechanism 31, the first transfer mechanism 31 is used to transfer the first material 10 on the first conveying mechanism 21 to the material assembly mechanism 1; a second transfer mechanism 32, the second transfer mechanism 32 is used to transfer the second material 20 on the second conveying mechanism 22 to the material assembly mechanism 1.

[0031] Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 21 and the second conveying mechanism 22 can be connected to the injection molding machine, and the materials discharged from the injection molding machine reach the alignment device to complete the alignment. The first conveying mechanism 21 and the second conveying mechanism 22 can respectively continuously convey the first material and the second material, and cooperate with the alignment device to improve the alignment efficiency and production efficiency.

[0032] Preferably, the first conveying mechanism 21 and the second conveying mechanism 22 are conveyor belts.

[0033] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The alignment device includes an inclined material discharge chute 4, which is connected to the first conveying mechanism 21 and the material assembly mechanism 1 respectively, and the first transfer mechanism 31 transfers the first material 10 on the first conveying mechanism 21 to the material discharge chute 4. By setting the material discharge chute 4, the material is transferred by relying on its own weight, which is faster and more effective, and the structure of the alignment device is simplified.

[0034] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The first transfer mechanism 31 includes: a first push cylinder 311, which is used to push the first material 10 on the first conveying mechanism 21 to the unloading chute 4; a first detection sensor 312, which is used to detect whether the first material 10 has arrived at the first push cylinder 311, and the first detection sensor 312 is connected to the first push cylinder 311 by signal. Through the above configuration, when the first material 10 arrives at the first push cylinder 311, the first detection sensor 312 detects the arrival signal of the material, thereby controlling the first push cylinder 311 to push the material.

[0035] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1The second transfer mechanism 32 includes: a second push cylinder 321, which is used to push the second material 20 on the second conveying mechanism 22 to the flip groove 323; a flip mechanism 322, which is provided with a rotatable flip arm, and the flip arm is provided with a flip groove 323; the flip arm has an initial position and a flip position, when the flip arm is in the initial position, the flip groove 323 is connected with the second conveying mechanism 22, when the flip arm is in the flip position, the flip groove 323 is connected with the unloading chute 4. Through the above arrangement, the second push cylinder 321 makes the second material 20 leave the second conveying mechanism 22 and transfer to the flip groove 323, and the flip arm flips, so that the second material in the flip groove 323 is transferred to the unloading chute 4, and the flipping of the second material is realized at the same time, so that the second material 20 arrives at the material assembly mechanism 1 according to the preset posture.

[0036] Preferably, the flipping mechanism 322 is a flipping cylinder, and the flipping angle of the flipping arm is 180°.

[0037] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The second transfer mechanism 32 includes: a blocking device 324, which is arranged before the second pushing cylinder 321 along the conveying direction of the second material 20, and the blocking device 324 is telescopically arranged, and the blocking device 324 is used to block the second material 20; a second detection sensor 325, and the second detection sensor 325 is used to detect whether the second material 20 reaches the second transfer mechanism 32, and the second detection sensor 325 is signal-connected with the blocking device 324 and the second pushing cylinder 321.

[0038] Through the above arrangement, when the second pushing cylinder 321 performs the pushing action, the blocking device 324 is extended to block the material on the second conveying mechanism 22 from continuing to move forward to the second pushing cylinder 321, thereby avoiding affecting the action of the second pushing cylinder 321; when the second detection sensor 325 detects the arrival information of the second material, the blocking device 324 and the second pushing cylinder 321 are controlled to act respectively.

[0039] Preferably, the power mechanism of the blocking device 324 is a cylinder.

[0040] In the alignment device of this embodiment, see Figure 3 The material discharge chute 4 includes a first material stopper plate 41 and a second material stopper plate 42. The extension direction of the first material stopper plate 41 is parallel to the material discharge chute 4. The first material stopper plate 41 is covered on the material discharge chute 4. The second material stopper plate 42 is connected to one end of the first material stopper plate 41 close to the first conveying mechanism 21. The second material stopper plate 42 is used to block the first material 10 or the second material 20. Through the above arrangement, the material is guided to prevent the material in the material discharge chute 4 from flying out.

[0041] Preferably, the second blocking plate 42 extends along the vertical direction.

[0042] In the conveyor line of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The conveyor line includes an alignment device, which is the alignment device mentioned above.

[0043] In some embodiments, the same conveying line can be divided into a first conveying mechanism 21 and a second conveying mechanism 22, and the same conveying line conveys the first material and the second material at the same time.

[0044] In some embodiments, the unloading chute 4 is overlapped at the edge of the conveyor line, and the unloading chute 4 is located on the side of the conveyor line close to the second conveying mechanism 22. The first transfer mechanism 31 and the second transfer mechanism 32 are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt to respectively transfer the first material and the second material. The second push cylinder 321 crosses the first conveying mechanism 21. At the same time, stop plates are respectively set at the ends of the first conveying mechanism 21 and the second conveying mechanism 22 to block the advancement of the material to complete the transfer of the material.

[0045] In some embodiments, two conveying lines may be used to convey the first material and the second material respectively.

[0046] The working process of the alignment device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] 1. Place the first material 10 and the second material 20 on the first conveying mechanism 21 and the second conveying mechanism 22 respectively.

[0048] 2. As the first material 10 moves, when the first material 10 reaches the first pushing cylinder 311, the first detection sensor 312 is triggered, triggering the first pushing cylinder 311 to push the first material 10 into the unloading chute 4. The first material 10 slides down the unloading chute 4 and reaches the receiving platform 13 of the unloading chute 4.

[0049] 3. When the second material 20 reaches the second transfer mechanism 32 , the second detection sensor 325 is triggered, triggering the second pushing cylinder 321 and the blocking device 324 .

[0051] 5. The flipping mechanism 322 drives the second material 20 to rotate 180° and flip it into the unloading chute 4 , so that the second material 20 slides down the unloading chute 4 and reaches the receiving platform 13 .

[0052] 6. The second material 20 reaches the receiving platform 13 , and the assembly detection sensor 15 is triggered, triggering the assembly cylinder 14 to push the second material 20 into the assembly slot 11 , and the second material 20 and the first material 10 are aligned in the assembly slot 11 .
