Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a quick-change clamp-type transport mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Filters are widely used in various machines and automobiles. Their main function is to filter impurities. Finished filters have threaded holes for installation. During the production process of filters, especially before the filters are put into storage, a series of tests need to be carried out on the filters. Among them, the thread test in the installation hole is an indispensable process.

[0003] The Chinese invention patent application document with the publication number "CN118293765A" discloses a fully automatic detection device for filter installation threads. The detection device is mainly composed of a frame, a feeding assembly, a transfer assembly, a clamping assembly, a detection assembly, and a controller. The frame is provided with multiple detection positions, and the detection position is used to place the filter to be detected. One detection position corresponds to a clamping assembly and a detection assembly. The feeding assembly is used to place the filter to be detected on the transfer assembly, and the transfer assembly then transfers the filter to the corresponding detection position. When the filter reaches the detection position, the clamping assembly will clamp the filter, and then the detection assembly will detect the installation threads of the filter. The tested filter will then pass through the transfer assembly to the qualified product area and the unqualified product area respectively.

[0004] Among them, although the feeding component in the fully automatic detection device can realize automatic transportation of the filter, it has the following defects:

[0005] 1) It can be clearly seen from the attached figure 5 of the public document that the feeding assembly is provided with a feeding turntable, and a plurality of fan-shaped feeding notches evenly arranged on the outer circle of the feeding turntable are provided. The filter is limited by the fan-shaped feeding notches, and the filter is transported in an orderly manner by the rotation of the turntable. However, the size of the fan-shaped feeding notches cannot be changed, resulting in each group of feeding turntables being able to adapt to only one specification of filter. If filters of other specifications need to be tested, the feeding turntable must be replaced. As the main transportation component, the feeding turntable is linked to a drive source, a conveyor belt, etc., and replacement is extremely cumbersome and cannot be quickly replaced.

[0006] 2) In addition to limiting the filter by setting a fan-shaped feeding notch in the feeding device, the filter will shake during the movement of the feeding turntable, resulting in unstable transportation and poor working reliability. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a quick-change clamp-type transport mechanism for the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, which can adapt to filters of different specifications and types and can quickly replace the clamping plate.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A quick-change fixture type transportation mechanism, including a material transporting member, wherein a plurality of groups of material clamping stations are arranged on the material transporting member, and the feature is that: a group of clamping plates are arranged at each group of material clamping stations; a fan-shaped feeding notch is arranged on the side of the clamping plate away from the material transporting member; a plug-in member is arranged between the clamping plate and the material transporting member, and the clamping plate and the material transporting member are both provided with plug-in holes adapted to the plug-in member.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, through the design of the quick-change fixture type transportation mechanism, the quick replacement of the clamping plate is realized, so that the transportation device can adapt to different specifications and types of filters, and the adaptability of the transportation device is improved. A group of clamping plates are arranged at each group of material clamping stations, and a fan-shaped feeding notch is arranged on the clamping plate. The fan-shaped feeding notch fits better with the shape of the filter, and the feeding is more stable. At the same time, the clamping plate and the material transporting member are connected by a plug-in member to realize the quick replacement of the clamping plate. The sizes of the fan-shaped feeding notches on different clamping plates are different, that is, the transportation device designed in this application has high adaptability. Among them, the material transporting member can adopt a turntable form, a linear form, or even a special-shaped form, and can be applied to the transportation device designed in this application. Among them, the plug-in member can adopt standard parts such as pins and screws, as long as the shaft-hole matching relationship with the plug-in hole can be realized, so that the detachable connection between the clamping plate and the material transporting member can be realized.

[0011] The above quick-change fixture type transportation mechanism can be further set as: a plurality of groups of first magnetic members are further arranged between the clamping plate and the material transporting member, and a plurality of groups of mounting holes are arranged on the material transporting member or the clamping plate, and each group of first magnetic members is distributed in a group of mounting holes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, after the first magnetic member is placed in the mounting hole, it will generate a suction force on the clamping plate, further limiting the clamping plate. In summary, with the cooperation of the first magnetic member and the plug-in member, the clamping plate can be stably connected to the material transporting member. At the same time, the operations of disassembly and installation are relatively convenient. Take out or insert the plug-in member, and then pull out the clamping plate to realize the separation and connection between the clamping plate and the material transporting member.

[0013] The above quick-change fixture type transportation mechanism can be further set as: at least one group of electromagnets capable of fixing the filter at the fan-shaped feeding notch are arranged at the fan-shaped feeding notch.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the electromagnet can quickly and stably suck the filter, and at the same time, when reaching a predetermined position (such as visual inspection or waste removal or feeding position), it can quickly separate from the filter. The "clamping method" is stable and the work is reliable, and the filter will not shake during transportation.

[0015] The above-mentioned quick-change clamp-type transport mechanism can be further configured as follows: a support plate is connected to the side of the electromagnet, and a second magnetic part is provided on the side of the support plate away from the electromagnet, and the second magnetic part is detachably connected to the support plate by screws, and the support plate is detachably connected to the electromagnet by screws, and a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole which are recessed toward the inner side of the clamping plate are provided at the fan-shaped feeding notch, and the lower end of the support plate is inserted into the first limiting hole until it contacts the end face of the transport piece, and the electromagnet is inserted into the second limiting hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is used to install the electromagnet; by designing the second limiting hole, the electromagnet is installed on the clamping plate and is closer to the filter; by designing the first limiting hole, the positioning of the support plate is facilitated; and further adding a second magnetic part can enhance the magnetic force, so that the electromagnet can maintain a strong adsorption force even in a low power consumption state. At the same time, the enhanced magnetic force can make the moving iron core in the electromagnet move faster, reduce the action time, and improve the response speed of the electromagnet.

[0017] The above-mentioned quick-change clamp-type transport mechanism can be further configured as follows: the material transport piece is a turntable, a driving source capable of driving the turntable to rotate is linked to the middle of the turntable, and a plurality of groups of clamping stations are distributed on the turntable and evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a turntable is selected as the transport form of the transported material, and the volume of the transport device is reduced as much as possible while meeting the basic transport work, the flexibility of the transport device is improved, and it is easy to transport and assemble. Among them, the driving source can be a reducer or the like.

[0019] The above-mentioned quick-change clamp-type transport mechanism can be further configured as: it also includes a frame distributed below the turntable, a feed conveyor belt is installed on the frame, chain plate wheels are linked at both ends of the feed conveyor belt, a group of rollers is provided between the two groups of chain plate wheels, and the rollers are distributed below the feed conveyor belt and the two are rollingly connected.

[0020] The above technical solution is adopted, and a feed conveyor belt is set up, which can be manually or with a fully automatic production line. The filter arrives on the feed conveyor belt and is pulled to the turntable by the feed conveyor belt until it enters the clamping station and is sent to the next station by an electromagnet. Among them, the chain plate wheel can be driven by a servo motor, etc., so as to drive the feed conveyor belt to rotate. A set of rollers is set between the two sets of chain plate wheels to improve the working stability of the feed conveyor belt.

[0022] With the above technical solution, the end face detection component is used to detect the lower end face of the filter, such as whether there are threaded holes, whether the number of connection holes around the threaded holes is correct, etc. Qualified products are driven by the turntable to the next station for the next step, and unqualified products are rejected. Among them, the end face detection component can be a camera, photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0023] A height sensor is arranged above the frame, the height sensor is connected with an adjustment plate through screws, the adjustment plate is slidably connected with a slider, and a hand wheel is arranged at one side of the adjustment plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the height sensor can detect the height of the filter, and qualified products are driven by the turntable to the next station for the next step, while unqualified products are rejected. Among them, the slider and the handwheel can be installed on the frame of the filter thread detection equipment. The adjustment plate adjusts the height through the slide plate until the height sensor reaches the correct height, and then the handwheel is turned until the end of the handwheel touches the adjustment plate, so that the adjustment plate can be fixed, that is, the height sensor remains stationary, so as to facilitate the height detection in the later stage.

The filter arrives on the feed conveyor belt 12 and is pulled to the turntable 1 by the feed conveyor belt 12 until it enters the clamping station and is sent to the next station by the electromagnet 7. Among them, the chain plate wheel 13 can be linked to a driving source such as a servo motor to drive the feed conveyor belt 12 to rotate, and a group of rollers 14 is provided between the two groups of chain plate wheels 13 to improve the working stability of the feed conveyor belt 12.

[0040] Working principle of embodiment 1: The filter is placed on the feed conveyor belt 12 manually or mechanically.

It rotates with the turntable 1 to the end face detection component 15 for detection. The frame is provided with a detection hole 16. The end face detection component 15 can detect the lower end face of the filter through the detection hole 16, which is mainly used to detect whether the threaded hole of the filter exists and whether the number of mounting holes 6 around the threaded hole is correct. The filter will continue to rotate with the turntable 1 to the bottom of the height sensor 17. The height sensor 17 further detects whether the height of the filter is qualified. After two tests, the tested filters will continue to rotate with the turntable 1. Qualified products (i.e., the height, threaded holes, and the number of mounting holes 6 around the threaded holes are all correct) will be transported to the next workstation for the next step after the height detection, and unqualified products (i.e., the height, threaded holes, and the number of mounting holes 6 around the threaded holes are incorrect) will continue to rotate with the turntable 1 until they move to the waste discharge frame 21.

[0046] The second embodiment can not only realize orderly feeding, but also realize quick replacement of the clamping plate 2 so as to adapt to filters of different specifications and types. At the same time, various tests can be performed on the filter to remove waste materials.
