Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic material collecting device and a clutch disc stamping machine thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the clutch disc manufacturing industry, as a key production equipment, the automatic stamping machine has been continuously improved to improve production efficiency. However, the existing automatic clutch disc stamping machines still face significant technical challenges in practical applications, especially in the finished product material collection link where there is a problem of low efficiency. During the working process of traditional automatic clutch disc stamping machines, metal materials usually need to be placed under the stamping machine, and then processed into the required shapes, such as metal rings, etc., through the downward pressing action of the stamping machine. Although great improvements have been made in the feeding aspect and many devices have achieved automatic feeding, in the finished product material collection link, the technical bottleneck is still obvious.

[0003] Currently, the material collection methods for clutch disc stamping products mainly include manual material collection, simple mechanical pushing, pneumatic adsorption, and vibration conveying, etc. Manual material collection requires operators to manually take out the finished products from the stamping area after each stamping. This is not only inefficient but also easily causes operator fatigue and increases the work safety risk. Although mechanical pushing has achieved a certain degree of automation, it is easy to cause damage or deformation of the finished products, especially for precision-machined clutch discs, the risk is relatively high. Pneumatic adsorption adsorbs the finished products through a vacuum chuck and moves them out of the stamping area. Although it is relatively gentle, it may not be applicable to some materials or shapes of clutch discs, and the system is complex and the maintenance cost is high. Vibration conveying uses a vibrating disk or a vibrating conveyor belt to convey the finished products. Although continuous conveying can be achieved, it may cause wear on the surface of the finished products and affect product quality.

[0004] These existing material collection methods all have their own limitations, either being inefficient, or possibly affecting product quality, or having a complex and expensive system. Therefore, how to achieve automatic material collection efficiently, safely, and at low cost has become an important technical challenge faced by the industry. To solve this problem, this application proposes an automatic material collecting device and an automatic clutch disc stamping machine. The core innovation of this device is to use magnet adsorption to achieve automatic material collection, reducing the possible wear caused by mechanical pushing and vibration material collection, with low cost and good material collection effect. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic material collecting device and a clutch disc stamping machine thereof. This automatic material collecting device and clutch disc stamping machine can collect materials at low cost and high efficiency, and can reduce the possible wear of the clutch during material collection.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0046] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0047] In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined. In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installation", "connection", "connection", "fixation" and other terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0048] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, a clutch disc stamping machine includes a frame 1. A workbench 2 is arranged in the middle of the frame 1, and a stamping mechanism 3 that can move up and down is arranged directly above the workbench 2. This stamping mechanism 3 includes a bracket 4. The hydraulic cylinder 22 drives the bracket 4 to move up and down, so that the overall stamping mechanism 3 moves up and down. When moving down, it can press the metal round block 5 to obtain a metal ring, that is, an integrally formed clutch disc. An installation groove 6 is arranged in the middle of the workbench 2. The metal round block 5 to be stamped can be placed in the installation groove 6. Embodiment

[0050] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, double feeding devices 7 are arranged on both sides of the workbench 2. The double feeding devices 7 include two conveying frames 8 slidably arranged on the workbench 2. A conveying groove 9 penetrating the conveying frame 8 is arranged on one side of the conveying frame 8. Among them, the conveying groove 9 is semicircular or an arc exceeding a semicircle.

[0051] A conveyor belt 10 is arranged on one side of the conveying frame 8. The conveyor belt 10 can be continuously driven by a motor to convey the metal round block 5 to be stamped placed on the conveyor belt 10.

[0052] Furthermore, two connecting plates 11 are respectively connected to the two conveying frames 8. The opposite ends of the two connecting plates 11 are fixedly connected together with a frame 12. The middle of the frame 12 is hollow, and a cam 13 is arranged inside the frame 12. One end of the cam 13 is fixedly connected to a stepping motor 14. When the stepping motor 14 works, it can drive the cam 13 inside the frame 12 to rotate. When the distal end of the cam 13 contacts the left and right sides of the frame 12, it can make the frame 12 move under the push of the cam 13. During the process of the stepping motor 14 driving the cam 13 to rotate one week, the cam 13 drives the conveying frames 8 on both sides to slide back and forth once. The sliding distance is exactly the distance between the center of the installation groove 6 and the center of the conveying groove 9.

[0053] Under the above settings, the staff first place a certain number of metal round blocks 5 on the conveyor belts 10 on both sides. The initial state is as Figure 1 shown. At this time, the distal end of the cam 13 faces upward, and the stamping mechanism 3 is not pressed down. Start the conveyor belt 10 so that a metal round block 5 on the conveyor belt 10 enters the conveying groove 9 on one side of the conveying frame 8, and the other metal round blocks 5 are blocked by the previously entered metal round block 5 and cannot enter the conveying groove 9. Start the stepping motor 14 to drive the cam 13 to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees, thereby pushing the frame 12 Figure 1 shown to move to the right. The movement of the frame 12 drives the two conveying frames 8 to move to the right as a whole, so that the metal round block 5 in the left conveying frame 8 moves to the position of the installation groove 6, and the metal round block 5 enters the installation groove 6. The stepping motor 14 continues to rotate by 90 degrees. At this time, under the setting of the external spring return mechanism, the positions of the frame 12 and the conveying frame 8 are reset. The return mechanism is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] After the frame 12 is reset, the stamping mechanism 3 presses down, so that the metal round block 5 is pressed into a metal ring. Then, the formed metal ring is taken out, and the cam 13 continues to rotate by 90 degrees to move the frame 12 to the left, so that the corresponding metal round block 5 on the right conveying frame 8 is input into the installation groove 6 for continuous pressing.

[0055] Under the above settings, after each side's conveying frame 8 inputs the metal round block 5, the other side's conveying frame 8 has already loaded the metal round block 5. The material receiving mechanism for automatically recycling the metal rings can realize the overall automated operation without interruption, improve production efficiency and reduce the complexity of program design. Embodiment

[0056] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, an automatic material receiving device 15 is provided on one side of the middle of the workbench 2. The automatic material receiving device 15 includes an arc magnet 16 slidably arranged in the installation groove 6. One side of the arc magnet 16 is fixedly connected with a driven rod 17. One side of the driven rod 17 is engaged with a gear 18. One side of the gear 18 is engaged with a driving rod 19. Among them, the driving rod 19 and the driven rod 17 are arranged in a staggered manner and do not interfere with each other.

[0057] One end of the driving rod 19 is connected with a slider 20. A positioning rod 21 passes through the middle of the slider 20. The positioning rod 21 is fixedly connected with the frame 1. Among them, the slider 20 is fixedly connected with the bracket 4. By driving the longitudinal sliding of the slider 20 through the hydraulic cylinder 22, the stamping mechanism 3 can be driven to move up and down to complete the stamping work.

[0058] As described above, when the slider 20 moves downward, it can drive the driving rod 19 to move downward. The downward movement of the driving rod 19 drives the gear 18 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the driven rod 17 and the magnet 16 to move along the mounting groove 6 towards the middle of the workbench 2. When the stamping mechanism 3 moves downward to press a through hole out of the middle of the metal round block 5 to form a metal ring, the driven rod 17 drives the magnet 16 to contact the outer side of the metal ring and adsorb the metal ring.

[0059] When the slider 20 moves upward, the magnet 16 is reset. At this time, the magnet 16 drives the metal ring to move outward, takes the metal ring out of the workbench 2, and makes the metal ring suspended. The metal ring drops under its own gravity, completing the process of automatically recycling the metal ring.

[0060] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
