[0034] In the current chain production process, generally, the operations of stringing and hanging pieces are carried out manually, and the feeding of raw materials is replenished manually by operating a crane. In the chain production process, people are the main productive force, resulting in a long production cycle and low production efficiency of the chain. To improve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a feeding mechanism and a chain product assembly line using this feeding mechanism.
[0035] The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a chain product assembly line 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides a chain product assembly line 200 and a feeding mechanism 100 used in the chain product assembly line 200. The feeding mechanism 100 is used to convey chain raw materials of different specifications to the chain product assembly line 200, thereby realizing fast and accurate feeding of the chain product production line, thereby shortening the chain production time and improving the chain production efficiency.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The chain product assembly line 200 includes a chain forming machine 210, a riveting machine 220, a pre-tensioning machine 230, an oiling machine 240, a dismantling machine 250 and an automatic ring-joining machine 260 which are sequentially connected by a conveyor belt. The chain forming machine 210 is used to connect a single chain link into a chain; the riveting machine 220 is used to rivet the connected chain links in four directions or on both sides; the pre-tensioning machine 230 pre-tensions the chain through a servo motor to solve the initial elongation of the chain and prevent the subsequent chain from elongating during use; the oiling machine 240 oils the assembled chain to prevent rust and corrosion and reduce wear of the chain; the dismantling machine 250 dismantles the complete long chain into multiple short chains according to the production design requirements, and the servo motor of the automatic ring-joining machine 260 pulls the short chain to the designated position for jointing, and connects the short chain to form the final chain product. Thus, the entire production process from component chain links to assembly into a complete chain is realized.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, in order to improve the quality of finished chain products, it is necessary to detect the dimensional accuracy and pitch accuracy of chain products during the chain production process. Based on this, in one embodiment of the present application, a dimension detection device 270 is provided between the strip forming machine 210 and the riveting machine 220. The dimension detection device 270 is used to detect the chain size and chain pitch, so that the operator can remove the chain links that do not meet the design requirements, and the chain links that meet the design requirements are continuously conveyed to the riveting machine 220 for subsequent processing. Thereby, it is ensured that the dimensional accuracy and pitch accuracy of the finished chain meet the production design standards.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 In order to facilitate the accurate feeding of raw materials to the chain product assembly line 200, in one embodiment, a feeding mechanism 100 for feeding the chain product assembly line 200 is connected to the strip forming machine 210. The feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding assembly 110, a feeding assembly 120 and a feeding assembly 130. The feeding assembly 110 includes a plurality of drop hoppers 111 arranged side by side. The plurality of drop hoppers 111 correspond to the strip forming machines 210 of the plurality of chain product assembly lines 200. Furthermore, a transmission pipeline 280 is connected between the drop hopper 111 and the corresponding strip forming machine 210, and the raw materials in the drop hopper 111 are transported to the strip forming machine 210 through the transmission pipeline 280.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the bar making machine 210, riveting head machine 220, pre-tensioning machine 230, oiling machine 240, joint removing machine 250 and automatic ring welding machine 260 of the chain product assembly line 200 are arranged on the lower floor slab, and the feeding mechanism 100 is arranged on the upper floor slab 300. The transmission pipeline 280 penetrates through the floor slab and connects the hopper 111 with the bar making machine 210, so that the raw materials freely fall along the transmission pipeline 280 by gravity during feeding. In other embodiments, the feeding mechanism 100 can also be arranged above the bar making machine 210 by structures such as steel pipe racks.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , in order to enable the chain link parts to enter the bar making machine 210 in an orderly manner, an automatic feeding machine 290 is also arranged between the transmission pipeline 280 and the bar making machine 210. The chain link parts are randomly arranged and then become orderly arranged after passing through the chain vibrating bowl in the automatic feeding machine 290, and are accurately conveyed into the bar making machine 210.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , the feeding assembly 120 is arranged above the feeding component 110. The feeding assembly 120 can move along the arrangement direction of the plurality of hoppers 111. The feeding assembly 120 is used for temporarily storing raw materials and feeding the raw materials into the hopper 111. The loading assembly 130 is arranged at one end of the feeding component 110. The loading assembly 130 is used for driving the raw materials to rise. When the feeding assembly 120 moves close to the loading assembly 130, the loading assembly 130 drives the raw materials to rise and feeds the raw materials into the feeding assembly 120.
[0043] When feeding the chain product assembly line 200, the feeding assembly 120 is driven to move close to the loading assembly 130. The loading assembly 130 drives the raw materials to rise above the loading assembly 130 and feeds the raw materials into the feeding assembly 120. The feeding assembly 120 stores the raw materials and drives the raw materials to move to the hopper 111 to be fed, and feeds the raw materials into the hopper 111, so as to realize precise feeding of the chain product assembly line 200.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the feeding assembly 120 includes a conveying bin 121, a track 122 and a driving member 123. The track 122 is arranged above the plurality of hoppers 111 through a support frame. The track 122 is arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of hoppers 111. The conveying bin 121 is movably arranged on the track 122. The driving member 123 is arranged on the conveying bin 121 and connected to the track 122. The driving member 123 is used for driving the conveying bin 121 to move along the track 122, and then transporting the raw materials to the hopper 111 to be fed for feeding.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 , since there are multiple blanking hoppers 111, in actual production, it may be encountered that the raw materials in multiple blanking hoppers 111 are insufficient at the same time, while a single conveying bin 121 can only feed one blanking hopper 111 at a time. Based on this, in one embodiment, feeding assemblies 130 and feeding components 120 are provided at both ends of the blanking assembly 110. By using two conveying bins 121 to supply materials to multiple blanking hoppers 111 simultaneously, the feeding efficiency of the blanking hoppers 111 is improved, thereby enhancing the processing efficiency. When two feeding components 120 are provided, the two feeding components 120 share the same track 122.
[0046] The driving member 123 can adopt different structures according to needs. In this embodiment, the driving member 123 is a driving motor and a roller. The roller is clamped in the track 122, and the driving motor is used to drive the roller to rotate, thereby driving the conveying bin 121 to move along the track 122 on the track 122. In other embodiments, magnetic poles can be provided on the track 122, and the driving member 123 includes an electromagnetic device provided on the conveying bin 121. By controlling the magnitude of the current passing through the electromagnetic device, the attractive force and repulsive force between the electromagnetic device and the magnetic poles are changed to realize the movement of the conveying bin 121 along the track 122.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 , since the processing progress of multiple chain product assembly lines 200 is also different, the feeding times of each assembly line are different. Based on this, in order to accurately and automatically feed parts to the chain product assembly line 200 lacking raw materials, in one embodiment, the feeding component 120 further includes a detection member 124 and a controller 125. Detection members 124 are provided in multiple blanking hoppers 111, and the detection member 124 is used to detect the remaining amount of raw materials in the blanking hopper 111. The detection member 124 can be a weight detection device for detecting the overall mass of the blanking hopper 111, a distance detection device for detecting the depth of the raw materials in the blanking hopper 111, or other detection devices that can directly or indirectly detect the remaining amount of raw materials in the blanking hopper 111. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , the controller 125 is provided on the conveying bin 121 and is electrically connected to the detection member 124. The controller 125 is used to control the opening and closing of the driving member 123 according to the remaining amount of raw materials in the blanking hopper 111, and then control the conveying bin 121 to accurately move above the blanking hopper 111 to be fed. In the initial position, the conveying bin 121 is located at a position close to the feeding assembly 130. Further, the bottom of the conveying bin 121 is openable and closable, and the controller 125 can also control the opening and closing of the bottom of the conveying bin 121 according to the remaining amount of raw materials in the blanking hopper 111. When the conveying bin 121 moves above the blanking hopper 111 to be fed, the conveying bin 121 automatically opens to feed the blanking hopper 111.
[0049] By detecting the remaining amount of raw materials in the blanking hopper 111, the conveying bin 121 loaded with the corresponding raw materials is controlled to move above the blanking hopper 111 to be fed, and raw materials are fed into the blanking hopper 111, achieving the effect of accurately and automatically feeding the chain product assembly line 200.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , the feeding assembly 130 includes a feeding frame 134, a part box 131, a lifting member 132 and a flipping member 133. The feeding frame 134 is a frame structure. Both the lifting member 132 and the flipping member 133 are arranged on the feeding frame 134. There is a lifting channel in the feeding frame 134 for the part box 131 to move vertically. The lifting member 132 is connected to the part box 131. The lifting member 132 is a lifting device such as a winch or a lifting cylinder, and the lifting member 132 is used to drive the part box 131 to move vertically. When the part box 131 is lifted to a preset height, the flipping member 133 is used to drive the part box 131 to flip towards the feeding assembly 120, and then the raw materials in the part box 131 are poured into the conveying bin 121. Among them, the preset height is higher than the height of the conveying bin 121.
[0051] The working process and principle of the feeding mechanism in this application are as follows: The detecting member 124 detects the remaining amount of raw materials in multiple blanking hoppers 111. When it is detected that the remaining amount of raw materials in a blanking hopper 111 is insufficient, the lifting member 132 is driven to drive the part box 131 to rise. After the part box 131 moves above the conveying bin 121, the flipping member 133 is used to drive the part box 131 to flip, and the parts are poured into the conveying bin 121. The controller 125 controls the conveying bin 121 to move above the blanking hopper 111 to be fed, so as to achieve the effect of automatically and accurately feeding the chain product assembly line 200 and improving the chain production efficiency.
[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this application and are not used to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of this application shall be included in the protection scope of this application.
