Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic precise feeding device for casters. Background Technique

[0002] As a key component for supporting and moving equipment, the quality and production efficiency of casters directly affect the performance and market competitiveness of the final product. In the field of caster manufacturing, the rubber coating process is a key step to endow casters with characteristics such as wear resistance, impact resistance, and noise reduction.

[0003] In the traditional rubber coating process of casters, manual and manipulator cooperation is relied on for feeding. Workers need to place the casters at the designated position for the inner support claws of the manipulator to grab. Manual feeding is slow, unable to meet the high-efficiency requirements of modern production lines. Long-term repetitive labor increases the labor intensity of workers, and also increases the enterprise's investment in human resources. There are certain safety risks during the manual feeding process, especially on high-speed production lines. Content of the Utility Model

[0012] Figure 2 is the schematic diagram of the second perspective of the device. Detailed Embodiment

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. However, the specific embodiments and examples described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not limitations to the present utility model.

[0014] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the Figure 1 directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0015] In the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features.

[0016] To solve the above technical problems, as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, the present utility model designs a caster automatic precise feeding device, including a vibrating feeder 1, a support table 4, and a lifting cylinder 5. The output end of the vibrating feeder 1 is connected with two feeding guide rails 2, and the feeding guide rails 2 are used for conveying caster bases. Preferably, symmetrically arranged limiting blocks 3 are provided above the feeding guide rails 2. The limiting blocks 3 are in an inverted L shape, and a chute for the caster base to pass through is formed between the two limiting blocks 3, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the caster base during the conveying process, reducing production errors caused by unstable factors during the conveying process, and realizing the automatic conveying of the caster base through the cooperation of the vibrating feeder 1 and the feeding guide rails 2, reducing manual operation.

[0017] The support table 4 is provided with a fixing plate 6. The lifting cylinder 5 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 6. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 5 faces upward and is connected with a lifting plate 7. A supporting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 7. Two positioning grooves 9 are provided on the supporting plate 8, and the positioning grooves 9 are docked with the output end of the feeding track, ensuring the accurate positioning of the caster base. When the caster base is sent into the positioning groove 9, it reaches the storage station. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 5 raises the lifting plate 7, enabling the caster base to move upward to the feeding station for the inner clamping claws of the manipulator to grab, providing an accurate grabbing height for the manipulator, enhancing the flexibility and accuracy of the feeding process. The setting of two groups of positioning grooves 9 can convey two caster bases at a time, improving the feeding efficiency.

[0018] Considering that the caster base may vibrate and deviate during the rising process after being sent into the positioning groove 9, resulting in the subsequent manipulator being unable to accurately grab, to solve this problem, a linear cylinder 10 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the supporting plate 8. The piston rod of the linear cylinder 10 faces the center of the supporting plate 8 and is connected with a movable plate. A limiting plate 11 is provided at one end of the movable plate close to the vibrating feeder 1. An inclined guiding surface is provided at the end of the limiting plate 11. After rising, the linear cylinder 10 pushes out the limiting plate 11 to ensure the accurate position of the caster base in the positioning groove 9. The design of the inclined guiding surface at the end of the limiting plate 11 avoids interference between the limiting plate 11 and the caster base, reducing displacement or tumbling caused by instability, and improving the safety and reliability of feeding.

[0019] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that an adjusting bolt 12 is further included. Mounting blocks 13 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the supporting plate 8. A waist-shaped hole 14 is provided on the mounting blocks 13. The screw rod of the adjusting bolt 12 passes through the waist-shaped hole 14 and is connected with a threaded hole on the supporting plate 8. The adjusting bolt 12 is used to fix the position of the supporting plate 8 when tightened, and the supporting plate 8 can be adjusted forward and backward by a certain distance when loosened, providing a fine-tuning function for the position of the supporting plate 8, enabling the equipment to quickly adapt to caster bases of different specifications, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0020] Further preferably in this embodiment, a baffle plate 15 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 7 close to the vibrating feeder 1, effectively preventing the caster base in the feeding track from leaking and sliding out during the rising process of the lifting plate 7.

[0021] This feeding device significantly improves the production efficiency and product quality of the caster rubber coating process through precise positioning and limiting mechanisms, avoids errors and safety hazards during the production process, reduces the equipment adjustment and maintenance costs at the same time, and improves the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0022] It should be noted that the technical features such as the vibrating feeder and the cylinder involved in the patent application of the present utility model should be regarded as the prior art. The specific structures, working principles, and possible control methods and spatial layout methods of these technical features can be selected conventionally in this field, and should not be regarded as the inventive points of the patent of the present utility model. The patent of the present utility model will not be further specifically elaborated.

[0023] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
