Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of engine production equipment, and in particular, to a slag bag removing device for an automotive engine cylinder block. Background Art

[0002] The engine cylinder block is a main component of an automotive engine. Usually, the engine cylinder block is produced by a casting plus machining method. The casting process produces the blank of the engine cylinder block. After the engine cylinder block is cast and formed, a certain number of slag bags are arranged around the blank part, and the slag bags need to be knocked off before machining.

[0003] Usually, the removal of the slag bag is achieved by a staff member holding a hammer and hitting the slag bag. However, manual removal not only causes a heavy labor burden on the staff, but also the residual temperature on the surface of the casting poses a certain safety risk during the work of the staff. With the development and progress of science and technology, some automated devices have also emerged in the industry, which drive the cylinder block to hit the striker through a cylinder to replace the staff to manually remove the slag bag. For example, a slag bag removing device for an automotive engine cylinder block disclosed in the invention patent with the publication number CN114734025A mainly includes a frame and a workpiece placing plate. The workpiece placing plate is driven to move up and down by a cylinder. After the workpiece is placed on the workpiece placing plate, it is driven to move by the cylinder. A plurality of slag bag removing parts are also arranged on the frame, and the slag bag is removed by driving the workpiece to hit the slag bag removing parts through the cylinder.

[0004] Although the problem of manual removal of slag bags is solved in the related technology, its continuity in the production process is poor (for example, it is necessary for a worker or a manipulator to remove the workpiece and then place a new workpiece), which is not conducive to improving the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the overall production efficiency of an automotive engine cylinder block, this application provides a slag bag removing device for an automotive engine cylinder block.

[0006] A slag bag removing device for an automotive engine cylinder block provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A slag bag removing device for an automotive engine cylinder block, including a frame and a belt conveying mechanism and an impact assembly installed on the frame. The belt conveying mechanism includes at least two groups of sprockets arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and also includes a metal mesh belt wound around the two sprockets at the same time. The impact assembly is arranged above the metal mesh belt and is used for the automotive engine cylinder block corresponding to the impact assembly on the metal mesh belt.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during the production process, the automotive engine block is placed on a metal mesh belt, and the metal mesh belt drives the automotive engine block to continuously move. When the automotive engine block passes through the impact assembly, the impact assembly impacts the slag package on the automotive engine block to remove the slag package. Subsequently, the metal mesh belt continues to move, driving the automotive engine block with the slag package removed away from the impact assembly, and at the same time driving the automotive engine block without the slag package removed close to the impact assembly. The feeding and loading are synchronized, thereby improving the overall production efficiency of the automotive engine block.

[0009] Optionally, two groups of the impact assemblies are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the belt conveying mechanism.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the two groups of impact assemblies simultaneously impact the slag packages on both sides of the automotive engine block, improving the efficiency of slag package removal.

[0011] Optionally, a rotating assembly is arranged between the impact assembly and the frame. The rotating assembly includes a mounting plate rotatably connected to the frame around the axis of the vertical shaft, and the impact assembly is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating plate rotates to drive the two groups of impact assemblies to rotate, thereby changing the arrangement direction of the two groups of impact assemblies, and further enabling the impact assembly to impact the slag packages on different sides.

[0013] Optionally, a lifting assembly is arranged between the rotating assembly and the frame. The lifting assembly includes a sliding plate slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction, and the rotating assembly is mounted on the sliding plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, sliding the sliding plate can drive the impact assembly to lift, and further make it close to or away from the automotive engine block, reducing the interference between the impact assembly driven by the rotating plate and the automotive engine block during the rotation process.

[0015] Optionally, a horizontal sliding assembly is arranged on the mounting plate. The horizontal sliding assembly includes two groups of sliding blocks corresponding to the impact assembly, and the impact assembly is mounted on the sliding blocks. Sliding the sliding blocks can drive the two groups of impact assemblies to approach or move away from each other.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, adjusting the distance between the two groups of impact assemblies through the sliding blocks, on the one hand, enables the impact assembly to remove the slag packages on engine blocks of different sizes, and on the other hand, since the automotive engine block is mostly rectangular in structure, by adjusting the distance between the two groups of impact assemblies, it is convenient for the impact assembly to impact the slag packages in the length or width direction of the engine block.

[0017] Optionally, the horizontal sliding assembly further includes a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is threadedly connected to the sliding block. Rotating the rotating rod can drive the sliding block to move.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the sliding block is adjusted by driving the sliding block to move through the rotating rod, and at the same time, the self - characteristic of the thread makes the sliding block more stable during the impact of the impact component.

[0019] Optionally, the impact component includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the sliding block and an impact block slidably connected to the fixing plate in the vertical direction, and an impact driving member for driving the impact block to reciprocate is provided on the fixing plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the impact driving member drives the impact block to reciprocate and impacts the slag bag to realize the removal of the slag bag. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0025] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 for a more detailed description of the present application.

[0026] The embodiment of the present application discloses a slag bag removing device for an automobile engine cylinder block.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, An automobile engine cylinder block slag bag removing device includes a frame 1, a belt conveying mechanism 2 and an impact assembly 3. The belt conveying mechanism 2 and the impact assembly 3 are both installed on the frame 1. Among them, the belt conveying mechanism 2 is used to drive the engine cylinder block to move horizontally. The impact assembly 3 is arranged above the trajectory line of the conveying direction of the belt conveying mechanism 2. The belt conveying mechanism 2 drives the engine cylinder block to pass through the impact assembly 3 in sequence, and the slag bag is removed by impacting the slag bag. Subsequently, the belt conveying mechanism 2 continues to operate, driving the workpiece after the slag bag is removed away from the impact assembly 3, and at the same time driving the next workpiece closer to the impact assembly 3. The continuity in the process of removing the slag bag from the engine cylinder block is improved, and the production efficiency of the overall production line of the engine cylinder block is improved.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the belt conveying mechanism 2 includes a sprocket 21 and a flexible metal mesh belt 22. The sprockets 21 are arranged in two groups. The two groups of sprockets 21 are arranged parallel to each other at intervals in the horizontal direction and perpendicular to their own axes. The metal mesh belt 22 is sleeved above the two groups of sprockets 21. A chain (not fully shown in the figure, only for a simple display diagram) is arranged on the metal mesh belt 22 corresponding to the sprocket 21, and the sprocket 21 meshes with the chain. The rotation of the sprocket 21 can drive the rotation of the metal mesh belt 22, thereby realizing the transportation of the engine cylinder block. In order to improve the stability of the metal mesh belt 22 during rotation, multiple sprockets 21 can be arranged along their own axes in each group, and two are arranged in this embodiment.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the impact assemblies 3 are arranged in two groups at intervals along the conveying direction of the belt conveying mechanism 2. The two impact assemblies 3 can simultaneously impact the slag bags on both sides of the engine cylinder block, thereby improving the efficiency of slag bag removal.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , an adjusting mechanism 4 is arranged between the impact assembly 3 and the frame 1. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a rotating assembly 41, a lifting assembly 42 and a horizontal sliding assembly 43. The lifting assembly 42 is installed on the frame 1, the rotating assembly 41 is installed on the lifting assembly 42, and the lifting assembly 42 is used to drive the rotating assembly 41 to slide in the vertical direction. The horizontal sliding assembly 43 is installed on the rotating assembly 41 to drive the two impact assemblies 3 to approach or move away from each other. The rotating assembly 41 is used to drive the horizontal sliding assembly 43 to rotate around the vertical axis. The lifting assembly 42 drives the rotating assembly 41 to lift and lower, and further drives the impact assembly 3 to approach or move away from the automobile engine cylinder block, thereby reducing the interference between the impact assembly 3 and the automobile engine cylinder block. In the actual production process, the overall engine cylinder block is in a rectangular structure. The rotating assembly 41 drives the impact assembly 3 to rotate, so that the impact assembly 3 is arranged in different directions. When the impact assembly 3 is arranged in different directions, the impact assembly 3 can impact the slag bags on different sides, realizing the removal of the slag bags on multiple sides of the cylinder block.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the lifting assembly 42 includes a gantry 421 and a sliding plate 422. The gantry 421 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The two legs of the gantry 421 are respectively arranged on both sides of the track line in the length direction of the belt conveying mechanism 2. The sliding plate 422 is slidably connected to the gantry 421 in the vertical direction. The lifting assembly 42 further includes a lifting driving member 423 for driving the sliding plate 422 to move. In this embodiment, the lifting driving member 423 is a cylinder. The housing of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the cross beam of the gantry 421, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 422. The movement of the piston rod of the cylinder drives the sliding plate 422 to move.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the rotating assembly 41 includes a mounting plate 411 and a rotating driving member 412. The mounting plate 411 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 422. The rotating driving member 412 is arranged between the mounting plate 411 and the sliding plate 422 for driving the mounting plate 411 to rotate. The horizontal sliding assembly 43 is mounted on the mounting plate 411. In this embodiment, the rotating driving member 412 is a rotary cylinder. The housing of the rotary cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 422, and the mounting plate 411 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder. The mounting plate 411 is driven to rotate by the rotary cylinder, realizing the rotation of the impact assembly 3.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the horizontal sliding assembly 43 includes sliding blocks 431 provided corresponding to two groups of impact assemblies 3. The sliding blocks 431 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 411 in the horizontal direction. The impact assembly 3 is connected to the sliding blocks 431 to realize the adjustment of the distance between the two impact assemblies 3. Each group of sliding blocks 431 can be arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to its sliding direction to improve the stability during the process of driving the impact assembly 3 to move.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the horizontal sliding assembly 43 further includes a rotating rod 432 for driving the sliding blocks 431 to move. The rotating rod 432 is a cylindrical mechanism. The rotating rod 432 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 411. Threads with opposite helix directions are arranged on the rotating rod 432 at positions corresponding to the two groups of sliding blocks 431. Rotating the rotating rod 432 can drive the two sliding blocks 431 to approach or move away from each other. In this embodiment, the rotating rod 432 is directly driven by a servo motor. In other embodiments, multiple rotating rods 432 can also be provided corresponding to the sliding blocks 431, and each sliding block 431 is driven by a separate rotating rod 432.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the impact assembly 3 includes a fixing plate 31 fixedly connected to the sliding block 431, an impact block 32 slidably connected to the fixing plate 31 in the vertical direction, and an impact driving member for driving the movement of the impact block 32. The impact block 32 is in a rectangular block structure, and the impact block 32 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding block 431. And the length direction of the impact block 32 is not less than the dimension in the length direction of the cylinder block, so that the impact block 32 can fully impact the slag pocket on one side of the cylinder block. In this embodiment, the impact driving member is a cylinder, and the reciprocating up and down movement of the impact block 32 is driven by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder piston to realize the impact on the slag pocket.

[0036] The implementation principle of an automobile engine cylinder block slag pocket removal device according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: In the actual production process, the cylinder block is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2 to the lower part of the impact assembly 3. Subsequently, the lifting assembly 42 drives the impact assembly 3 to approach the slag pocket, and then the impact driving member can drive the impact block 32 to move and impact the slag pocket. After the slag pocket is impacted and falls off, the lifting assembly 42 drives the impact assembly 3 to move above the rod body, and then the rotating assembly drives the impact assembly 3 to rotate to change the arrangement direction of the two impact assemblies 3 to remove the slag pockets on the other two sides of the cylinder block.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
