Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cage processing, in particular to a cage feeding device with an anti-fooling function. Background Art

[0002] Ball cage cages are widely used in vehicles. The cage is one of the components of the automotive transmission system. For the processing of the cage, the general process includes cutting, stamping the outer shape, turning, stamping the window, etc. Due to the characteristics of the cage, many processes are non-reworkable processes, and the defective products produced cannot be reworked, and can only be scrapped, including the stamping process. Generally, the defects of the process can be simply divided into two categories. One is the defect caused by the processing equipment, and it is necessary to improve the equipment accuracy and improve the technology, which has a certain degree of difficulty. The other is the defect caused by manual feeding. Strictly controlling this defect can greatly reduce the defect and help improve the yield rate and reduce the production cost. The feeding device of the cage can refer to the Chinese utility model patent with the application number CN201420711283.6 and the name of a feeding device for a ball cage cage. For the stamping window process, the defects of manual feeding include material mixing, incorrect placement of the front and back sides of the workpiece, etc. At present, the manual visual method is basically used for feeding discrimination. On the one hand, manual discrimination requires certain experience, and as the working time increases, the manual feeding speed becomes slower and slower. Along with fatigue, there are certain risks. On the other hand, the discrimination rate cannot reach 100%. Summary of the Utility Model

After setting the caliber of the anti-fooling feeding channel 13 as required, workpieces with other part numbers having a thickness greater than that of the workpiece to be processed cannot be put in, which can preliminarily screen and prevent mixing. The anti-fooling sorting plate 14 is the second anti-fooling measure, which is used to judge whether the thickness of the workpiece is less than the preset thickness of the workpiece to be processed. Normal workpieces can move smoothly under the limiting action of the anti-fooling sorting plate 14, otherwise they will fall from the sorting opening. After the workpiece slides down through the blanking chute 15 to the elastic baffle assembly 16, it is blocked by the elastic baffle assembly 16 blocked at the discharge port 12. By regularly pressing the wedge surface 161 with the telescopic ejector rod 22, the elastic baffle assembly 16 is forced to move away from the discharge port 12, so that the workpieces fall one by one from the discharge port 12 onto the feeding rack 21 to complete the loading. The cage loading device with an anti-fooling function provided by the present utility model can not only realize continuous loading and improve production efficiency, but also screen and prevent fooling of the loaded workpieces, reducing the rejection rate.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, a front plate 17 and a back plate 18 are provided inside the housing 1, and the front plate 17 and the back plate 18 enclose to form the anti-fooling feeding channel 13.

[0030] In an alternative embodiment, an inclined support plate 19 is provided inside the housing 1, and the inclined support plate 19 is located between the anti-fooling feeding channel 13 and the anti-fooling sorting plate 14.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the inclined support plate 19 has a certain slope, which is used to better push the workpiece to roll along the chute.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment, a hopper 191 is provided inside the housing 1, and the hopper 191 is located below the sorting opening.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the hopper 191 is used to receive the workpieces that fall after being screened by the anti-fooling sorting plate 14.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the anti-fooling sorting plate 14 includes two symmetrically arranged L-shaped plates, and the sorting opening is located between the two L-shaped plates.

[0035] As can be seen from the above description, normal workpieces are clamped on both sides by the L-shaped plates, and then can move smoothly and return to the blanking chute 15, otherwise they will fall between the two L-shaped plates.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment, a side plate 192 is provided inside the housing 1, and the L-shaped plates are inclinedly installed on the side plate 192.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the side plate 192 is locked to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the installation position and angle of the L-shaped plate on the side plate 192 can be flexibly adjusted according to dimensional requirements.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, a discrimination window 193 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the position of the blanking chute 15.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, the discrimination window 193 serves as the third anti-fooling measure and is used to determine whether the workpiece is placed in the wrong direction.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment, an inclined blanking plate 194 and an arc-shaped baffle 195 are provided inside the housing 1, and the inclined blanking plate 194 and the arc-shaped baffle 195 enclose to form the blanking chute 15.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, the arc-shaped baffle 195 is located at the turning point of the inclined blanking plate 194 and is used for the workpiece to smoothly roll from the upper inclined blanking plate 194 to the lower inclined blanking plate 194, playing a certain guiding role.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the elastic material retaining assembly 16 includes a fixed block 162, a spring 163, a wedge block 164, and a pressing plate 165 that are connected in sequence. The fixed block 162 is arranged on the housing 1, the pressing plate 165 seals the discharge port 12, and a wedge surface 161 is provided on the wedge block 164.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, the up and down movement of the telescopic ejector rod 22 controls the forward and backward movement of the wedge block 164, thereby controlling the release and pressing of the pressing plate 165.

[0044] In an alternative embodiment, a storage baffle 3 is further included. The storage baffle 3 is located at the discharge port 12 of the blanking chute 15, and a sensor 31 is provided on the storage baffle 3.

[0045] As can be seen from the above description, the sensor 31 is used to detect whether there is a workpiece at the discharge port 12. If there is no workpiece, the device will alarm to remind the operator to feed materials.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, Embodiment 1 of the present invention is: a cage loading device with an anti-fooling function, including:

[0047] A housing 1, with a feed inlet 11 and a discharge port 12 provided on the side wall. An anti-fooling feed channel 13, an anti-fooling sorting plate 14, a blanking chute 15, and an elastic material retaining assembly 16 are provided inside the housing 1. The feed inlet 11, the anti-fooling feed channel 13, the anti-fooling sorting plate 14, the blanking chute 15, and the discharge port 12 are connected in sequence. The anti-fooling sorting plate 14 is provided with a sorting port. The elastic material retaining assembly 16 seals the discharge port 12, and the elastic material retaining assembly 16 is provided with a wedge surface 161;

[0048] The feeding plate 2 is provided with a feeding rack 21 and a telescopic ejector rod 22. The feeding rack 21 is located below the discharge port 12. When the telescopic ejector rod 22 presses against the wedge surface 161, the elastic material blocking component 16 moves away from the discharge port 12.

[0049] Inside the housing 1, there are a front plate 17 and a back plate 18. The front plate 17 and the back plate 18 enclose to form a foolproof feeding channel 13. Inside the housing 1, there is an inclined support plate 19. The inclined support plate 19 is located between the foolproof feeding channel 13 and the foolproof sorting plate 14. Inside the housing 1, there is a hopper 191. The hopper 191 is located below the sorting port. The foolproof sorting plate 14 includes two symmetrically arranged L-shaped plates. The sorting port is located between the two L-shaped plates. Inside the housing 1, there is a side plate 192. The L-shaped plates are inclined and installed on the side plate 192. The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a discrimination window 193 corresponding to the position of the blanking chute 15. Inside the housing 1, there are an inclined blanking plate 194 and an arc-shaped baffle 195. The inclined blanking plate 194 and the arc-shaped baffle 195 enclose to form the blanking chute 15. The elastic material blocking component 16 includes a fixed block 162, a spring 163, a wedge block 164 and a pressing plate 165 connected in sequence. The fixed block 162 is arranged on the housing 1. The pressing plate 165 blocks the discharge port 12. The wedge surface 161 is arranged on the wedge block 164. There is also a storage baffle 3. The storage baffle 3 is located at the discharge port 12 of the blanking chute 15. The storage baffle 3 is provided with a sensor 31.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: during operation, first, the operator successively puts the workpieces into the feeding port between the front plate 17 and the back plate 18, and then, under the action of the inclined support plate 19, the workpieces roll quickly. When passing through the foolproof sorting plate 14 test plate, the workpieces with qualified thickness continue to move forward along the blanking chute 15, otherwise they will directly fall from the inside of the device and must be placed in the defective product frame. Furthermore, when passing through the identification window 193, the normally placed workpieces continue to move forward along the blanking chute 15, otherwise they will fall from the outside of the device to the hopper 191, and the operator must re-do the feeding operation. When the two end faces of the retainer are not the same in size, the end of the retainer with the larger end face is backed against the back plate 18 during feeding, and moves parallel to the blanking chute 15. When it moves to the identification window 193, if the workpiece is not placed upside down, it will pass normally, otherwise due to the effect of the center of gravity, the workpiece will tip over and fall from the identification window 193 to the hopper 191. Then, with the assistance of the turning belt, the workpiece smoothly passes through each slideway and finally arrives at the discharge port 12 to wait. At this time, the workpiece is pressed against the waiting port by the pressing plate 165. Then, under the action of the cylinder, the feeding plate 2 first moves to the right and then moves upward, at which time it drives the telescopic push rod 22 to push against the wedge block 164, causing the wedge block 164 to move backward, driving the pressing plate 165 to leave the workpiece, and the workpiece falls onto the feeding rack 21. Finally, the feeding plate 2 drives the feeding rack 21 and the telescopic push rod 22 to move downward and to the left. At this time, the wedge block 164 rebounds to the left under the action of the spring 163, returns to the original position, and presses against the next workpiece again, completing a cycle of loading and feeding.

[0051] In summary, the utility model has a holder feeding device with fool-proof function, and the fool-proof feeding channel is the first fool-proof. After the caliber of the fool-proof feeding channel is set according to the needs, other workpieces with a thickness greater than the workpiece to be processed cannot be put in, and the mixed materials can be initially screened and fool-proofed. The fool-proof sorting plate is the second fool-proof, which is used to determine whether the thickness of the workpiece is less than the preset thickness of the workpiece to be processed. Normal workpieces can move smoothly under the limiting effect of the fool-proof sorting plate, otherwise they will fall from the sorting port. After the workpiece slides down the blanking slide to the elastic material blocking component, it is blocked by the elastic material blocking component blocked at the discharge port. The elastic material blocking component is forced to move away from the discharge port by using the regular top pressure wedge surface of the telescopic push rod, so that the workpieces fall one by one from the discharge port to the feeding rack to complete the loading. The holder feeding device with fool-proof function provided by the utility model can not only realize continuous loading and improve production efficiency, but also screen and fool-proof the loaded workpieces to reduce the defective rate.
