Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of clutch processing, in particular to a clutch diaphragm spring material transfer and conveying device. Background Art

[0002] The clutch diaphragm spring is made of thin spring steel plate with a specific taper and many evenly distributed radial grooves in the center, which enable the diaphragm spring to deform evenly when under pressure. This design allows the diaphragm spring to play two main roles in the clutch: first, as a compression spring, it presses the clutch pressure plate and driven plate tightly against the flywheel to ensure that torque can be transmitted when the engine is running; second, as a release mechanism, when the clutch pedal is pressed, the release finger part of the diaphragm spring will open outward, pushing the clutch pressure plate and driven plate apart, thereby cutting off the power transmission between the engine and the transmission.

[0003] When the clutch diaphragm spring is processed, the clutch diaphragms need to be sent one by one onto the conveyor track for subsequent processing. However, the clutch diaphragm springs are generally stacked before processing for ease of transportation.

[0004] The inventor discovered the following defects during the operation of the specific embodiment:

[0005] Since the superimposed clutch diaphragm springs need to be separated one by one and then sent to the conveyor roller for subsequent processing, the diaphragm is generally loaded manually, which has high labor costs. If the operator is unwell and the loading is not timely, it will also affect the work efficiency;

[0006] Another way is to use an electromagnetic suction cup gripper to grab and feed the clutch diaphragm spring. However, in actual use, since the clutch diaphragm spring is a sheet-like object and is stacked together, the electromagnetic suction cup gripper has a low probability of grabbing multiple sheets, causing subsequent processing failures, thereby affecting the overall processing progress.

[0007] It should be noted that the above contents belong to the technical cognition scope of the inventor. Since the technical contents in this field are vast and too complicated, the above contents of this application do not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example

[0032] Refer to the attached Figure 1-4 A clutch diaphragm spring material transfer conveying device comprises a support base 1, the top of the support base 1 is connected to a fixed column 2, the fixed column 2 is provided with a lifting support plate 3, one side of the lifting support plate 3 is detachably connected to a support tray 4, the top of the fixed column 2 is provided with a first support plate 5, one side of the top of the first support plate 5 is detachably connected to a first support plate 6, a moving track 7 is set up on one side of the top of the first support plate 6, the moving track 7 is matched and connected to a lifting electromagnetic gripper 8, a conveyor belt 9 is provided at the end of the moving track 7, the side where the conveyor belt 9 enters is connected to a shielding device 10, and a recovery box 11 is provided on the outside of the shielding device 10. The device can put the stacked clutch diaphragm springs into the conveyor one by one through the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 The clutch diaphragm spring is placed on the support tray 4 and then the movable track 7 drives the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 to move to the top of the clutch diaphragm spring to magnetically grab the clutch diaphragm spring and then moves toward the conveyor belt 9 through the movable track 7. On the path where the clutch diaphragm spring follows the moving track 7, the shielding device 10 is adjusted to a suitable height. If more than one clutch diaphragm spring is grabbed by the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8, the clutch diaphragm spring at the bottom will be blocked by the shielding device 10 and fall off due to its increased thickness, or all the clutch diaphragm springs will fall off, preventing multiple stacked clutch diaphragm springs from passing through the conveyor belt 9 into subsequent steps and causing equipment failure.

[0033] The other side of the lifting support plate 3 is matched and connected to the lifting screw rod 31. The bottom of the lifting screw rod 31 is rotatably connected to the support base 1. The top of the lifting screw rod 31 passes through the first support plate 6 and is connected to the first rotating motor 32. The first rotating motor 32 can drive the lifting screw rod 31 to rotate, and then drive the lifting support plate 3 to rise and fall and slide on the fixed column 2. Since the lifting and grasping height range of the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 is limited, when the clutch diaphragm spring is grasping and conveying, the first rotating motor 32 will drive the lifting support plate 3 to rise at intervals to ensure the grasping effect of the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8.

[0034] The lifting support plate 3 is detachably connected to the first support plate 5 through two fixed threaded holes. The top of the first support plate 5 is threadedly connected to the positioning column 51, and the positioning column 51 is matched to the positioning hole 52 in the middle of the first support plate 5. The device can be provided with one or two positioning holes 52 according to the needs of subsequent processing to convey different numbers of clutch diaphragm springs. The present embodiment is designed with two positioning holes 52 according to the on-site conditions of our company. Specifically, in order to facilitate the clutch diaphragm springs to remain on the same vertical plane when stacked, it is convenient for the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 to grasp. When stacking the clutch diaphragm springs, the positioning column 51 is threadedly connected to the positioning hole 52, and then the clutch diaphragm springs are inserted into the positioning column 51 through the middle hole and placed on the support tray 4. Finally, the positioning column 51 is rotated from the top to be taken out.

[0035] A concave groove 71 is provided on the side of the movable track 7, and a second rotating screw rod 72 is arranged in the concave groove 71. The second rotating screw rod 72 is matched and connected to the sliding support plate 73. The sliding support plate 73 has two second threaded holes 74. The second threaded holes 74 are matched and connected to the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8. When the second rotating screw rod 72 rotates, it can drive the sliding support plate 73 to move back and forth in the concave groove 71, thereby driving the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 to transport the clutch diaphragm spring laterally. The sliding support plate 73 can be connected to the sliding support plate 73 by screws.

[0036] The lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 includes a fixed plate 81, which is detachably connected to the sliding support plate 73. Two telescopic cylinders 82 are provided on the top of the fixed plate 81. The bottom of the telescopic cylinder 82 is connected to a triangular support plate 83. Three electromagnetic clamps 84 are provided on the triangular support plate 83. The lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 can grasp the clutch diaphragm spring through the electromagnetic clamp 84 at the bottom. The three electromagnetic clamps 84 are arranged at intervals of 120 degrees to improve the stability of the clutch diaphragm spring during adsorption. When working, the telescopic cylinder 82 drives the triangular support plate 83 to descend, so that the electromagnetic clamp 84 contacts and adsorbs the topmost clutch diaphragm spring, and then retracts to a preset height to transport the clutch diaphragm spring.

[0037] The shielding device 10 includes a second support plate 101, which is arranged in the middle of the support leg 102 of the conveyor belt 9. A lifting sliding plate 103 is arranged on the top of the second support plate 101. The lifting sliding plate 103 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support leg 102. The bottom of the lifting sliding plate 103 is rotatably connected to the lifting threaded column 104. Blocking columns 105 are arranged at intervals on the top of the lifting sliding plate 103. The lifting threaded column 104 is matched and connected to the second support plate 101. The end of the lifting threaded column 104 is connected to the rotating block 106. The shielding device 10 can prevent the clutch diaphragm spring from falling due to repeated adsorption. The blocking column 105 05 can be fine-tuned up and down according to the clutch diaphragm spring of different thicknesses to prevent the normally moving clutch diaphragm spring from being blocked. When fine-tuning, you only need to rotate the bottom rotating block 106 at the same time, and the lifting threaded column 104 will slide up and down on the second support plate 101, thereby driving the top lifting sliding plate 103 to lift and lower on the inside of the support leg 102, and the top blocking column 105 will also rise and fall to a suitable height. When the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 only absorbs one clutch diaphragm spring, it can pass through the blocking column 105 normally. When the lifting electromagnetic gripper 8 absorbs more than one, the clutch diaphragm spring at the bottom will collide with the blocking column 105 and fall into the recycling box 11.

[0038] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the utility model shall be based on the attached claims.
