Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging tooling equipment for machining, and particularly relates to an automatic pipe loading device. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous development of the automotive industry towards the direction of intelligence and automation, more and more actuators such as motors used in automobiles are required, and the processing requirements for related components are also getting higher and higher. Among the components with a large usage amount in actuators, the worm is representative. According to the usage requirements of customers, the worms need to be press-fitted into the pipe fittings one by one in a row, so that during transportation, the pipe fittings can protect the outer surface of the worms and avoid damage to the outer surface of the worms. The prior art generally presses the worms into the pipe fittings manually, which is obviously inefficient and prone to errors, affecting delivery. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that in the prior art, the worms are press-fitted into the pipe fittings manually, which is inefficient, prone to errors, and affects delivery.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an automatic pipe loading device, which includes a material transporting member, a guiding frame, a rotary disk, and a plurality of jigs arranged circumferentially on the rotary disk. The guiding frame is located above the rotary disk. The rotary disk is rotatably arranged with a vertical axis. The rotary disk rotates to move the jigs one by one under the guiding frame. The jig is provided with a vertical jack for fixing the pipe fitting. The guiding frame is vertically provided with a guiding hole corresponding to the jack. The material transporting member is used to transport the workpiece to the guiding hole of the guiding frame, so that the workpiece passes through the guiding hole and falls into the pipe fitting in the jack of the jig.

[0005] Through the rotation of the rotary disk in the above solution, the jigs are moved one by one under the guiding frame. At this time, the material transporting member transports the workpiece to the guiding hole of the guiding frame. When the material transporting member releases the workpiece, the workpiece will fall into the pipe fitting in the jack of the jig located below the guiding hole under the guidance of the guiding hole. After the pipe fitting is filled with workpieces, the rotary disk rotates to move the jig out from under the guiding frame. At this time, the pipe fitting filled with workpieces can be taken out from the jack of the jig. Compared with the prior art, the above solution realizes the automatic press-fitting of the workpiece relative to the pipe fitting, without manual participation throughout the process, with high efficiency, not prone to errors, and stable operation.

[0006] In an improved solution, the fixture includes a clamping base, a clamping table and an elastic member. The jack is vertically formed in the clamping base, and the aperture of the jack is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting. A slot extending horizontally to the jack is formed in the side wall of the clamping base. The clamping table is inserted into the slot and can slide between the notch and the bottom of the slot. The clamping table is vertically provided with a limiting hole corresponding to the jack, and the aperture of the limiting hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting. The elastic member is used to apply a thrust to the clamping table in the direction towards the bottom of the slot, so that in the vertical direction, an overlapping area for clamping the pipe fitting is formed between the jack and the limiting hole. Since the apertures of the jack and the limiting hole are both larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting, an overlapping area for clamping the pipe fitting is formed between the jack and the limiting hole under the action of the elastic member, ensuring that the pipe fitting is stably clamped in the overlapping area. When the pipe fitting is taken out, the pipe fitting will apply a squeezing force to the clamping table in the direction towards the notch of the slot, increasing the overlapping area between the jack and the limiting hole and facilitating the removal of the pipe fitting.

[0007] In an improved solution, the elastic member is a spring and the number is at least two. The clamping table is provided with a cover plate extending outward from the notch of the slot. The spring is connected between the cover plate and the clamping base, and a plurality of the springs are distributed around the slot. The spring is used to apply a thrust to the cover plate in the direction towards the bottom of the slot, which is not only convenient for assembly, but also a uniform thrust is applied to the cover plate by a plurality of springs, and then the thrust is transmitted to the clamping table by the cover plate, ensuring better sliding stability of the clamping table relative to the slot.

[0008] In an improved solution, a handle is provided on the side of the cover plate facing away from the clamping base, so that the cover plate can be pulled through the handle, which is convenient for operation.

[0009] In an improved solution, a lifting driving member is further included. The lifting driving member is adjacently arranged at the side position of the rotary disk. The guiding frame is driven by the lifting driving member to realize lifting, so that the guiding frame can adapt to pipe fittings of different heights.

[0010] In an improved solution, a chamfer is provided at the upper part of the guiding hole, so as to achieve a better guiding effect on the workpiece.

[0011] In an improved solution, the material transporting member includes a robotic arm and a material transporting frame. The material transporting frame is driven by the robotic arm to move. The material transporting frame is provided with a suction cup for adsorbing the workpiece. Thus, the material transporting frame adsorbs the workpiece through the suction cup, and then the robotic arm drives the movement of the material transporting frame.

[0012] In an improved solution, the rotary disk is driven by a motor to rotate about a vertical axis. Description of the Drawings

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , an automatic pipe loading device provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a material transporting member, a guiding frame 3, a rotary disk 1, and a plurality of jigs 2 arranged circumferentially on the rotary disk 1. The guiding frame 3 is located above the rotary disk 1. The rotary disk 1 is rotatably arranged with a vertical axis. The rotary disk 1 rotates to move the jigs 2 one by one below the guiding frame 3. The jig 2 is provided with a jack 211 for fixing a pipe fitting 6 along the vertical direction. The guiding frame 3 is provided with a guiding hole 31 corresponding to the jack 211 along the vertical direction. The material transporting member is used to transport a workpiece to the guiding hole 31 of the guiding frame 3 so that the workpiece passes through the guiding hole 31 and then falls into the pipe fitting 6 in the jack 211 of the jig 2.

[0025] Through the rotation of the rotary disk 1 in the above solution, the jigs 2 are moved one by one below the guiding frame 3. At this time, the material transporting member transports the workpiece to the guiding hole 31 of the guiding frame 3. When the material transporting member releases the workpiece, the workpiece will fall into the pipe fitting 6 in the jack 211 of the jig 2 located below the guiding hole 31 under the guidance of the guiding hole 31. After the pipe fitting 6 is filled with workpieces, the rotary disk 1 rotates to move the jig 2 out from below the guiding frame 3. At this time, the pipe fitting 6 filled with workpieces can be taken out from the jack 211 of the jig 2. Compared with the prior art, the above solution realizes the automatic pressing of the workpiece relative to the pipe fitting 6, without manual participation throughout the process, with high efficiency, not prone to errors, and stable operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the material transporting member includes a robotic arm (not shown in the figure) and a material transporting frame 4. The material transporting frame 4 is driven by the robotic arm to move. The material transporting frame 4 is provided with a suction cup 41 for adsorbing the workpiece. Thus, the material transporting frame 4 adsorbs the workpiece through the suction cup 41, and then the robotic arm drives the movement of the material transporting frame 4. Of course, the material transporting member can also be a robotic arm with mechanical claws or other devices in the prior art that can transfer the workpiece. The specific design is not limited in this case.

[0027] The pipe fitting 6 is a prior art. The upper end of the pipe fitting 6 is open and the lower end is closed, so that the workpieces can be arranged in sequence from bottom to top along the axial direction of the pipe fitting 6 after falling into the pipe fitting 6. The pipe fitting 6 is fixed by the jig 2 on the rotary disk 1. In this embodiment, a motor 11 is provided below the rotary disk 1. The middle part of the rotary disk 1 is connected to the output end of the motor 11, so that the rotary table rotates with a vertical axis under the drive of the motor 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, the fixture 2 includes a clamping base 21, a clamping table 22 and an elastic member 23. The insertion hole 211 is vertically formed in the clamping base 21, and the aperture of the insertion hole 211 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting 6. A slot 212 extending horizontally to the insertion hole 211 is formed in the side wall of the clamping base 21. The clamping table 22 is inserted into the slot 212 and can slide between the notch and the bottom of the slot 212. The clamping table 22 is vertically provided with a limiting hole 221 corresponding to the insertion hole 211, and the aperture of the limiting hole 221 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting 6. The elastic member 23 is used to apply a thrust to the clamping table 22 in the direction towards the bottom of the slot 212, so that an overlapping area for clamping the pipe fitting 6 is formed between the insertion hole 211 and the limiting hole 221 in the vertical direction. Since the apertures of both the insertion hole 211 and the limiting hole 221 are larger than the outer diameter of the pipe fitting 6, an overlapping area for clamping the pipe fitting 6 is formed between the insertion hole 211 and the limiting hole 221 under the action of the elastic member 23, ensuring that the pipe fitting 6 is stably clamped in the overlapping area. When the pipe fitting 6 is taken out, the pipe fitting 6 will apply a squeezing force to the clamping table 22 in the direction towards the notch of the slot 212, increasing the overlapping area between the insertion hole 211 and the limiting hole 221 and facilitating the removal of the pipe fitting 6.

[0029] Further, the elastic member 23 is a spring and the number is at least two. The clamping table 22 is provided with a cover plate 222 extending outward from the notch of the slot 212. The spring is connected between the cover plate 222 and the clamping base 21, and a plurality of springs are distributed around the slot 212. The spring is used to apply a thrust to the cover plate 222 in the direction towards the bottom of the slot 212, which is not only convenient for assembly, but also a uniform thrust is applied to the cover plate 222 by a plurality of springs, and then the thrust is transmitted to the clamping table 22 by the cover plate 222, ensuring better sliding stability of the clamping table 22 relative to the slot 212.

[0030] In addition, a handle 223 is provided on the side of the cover plate 222 facing away from the clamping base 21, so that the cover plate 222 can be pulled through the handle 223, which is convenient for operation.

[0031] It should be noted that the fixture 2 can also be any structure in the prior art that can fix the pipe fitting 6, such as the form of clamping claws, etc., and this design is not limited thereto.

[0032] As another improvement to this embodiment, it further includes a lifting driving member 5. The lifting power member is preferably a linear motor 11 with a guide rail arranged vertically. The lifting driving member 5 is adjacently arranged at the side position of the rotary disk 1. The guiding frame 3 is driven by the lifting driving member 5 to realize lifting, so that the guiding frame 3 can adapt to pipe fittings 6 of different heights. Of course, the lifting driving member 5 can also be a cylinder arranged vertically, etc. The guiding frame 3 is installed on the cylinder rod and realizes the lifting function under the action of the cylinder.

[0033] As an optimization of the guiding frame 3, a chamfer is provided at the upper part of the guide hole 31, so as to realize a better guiding effect on the workpiece.

[0034] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "inner" and "outer" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application; all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inner, outer) are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and motion conditions between components in a certain specific posture. If this specific posture changes, then the directional indication also changes accordingly.
