Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of precision blade production, and particularly relates to an automatic blade detection and sorting device. Background Art
[0002] Hexagonal precision blades have higher versatility and economy, and are used to be installed on a tool bar and cooperate with a cutting device to process a workpiece. The production steps of the blade generally include raw material preparation, pressing and forming, sintering, etc. After sintering, a blade blank is formed. Only when the blade blank meets the processing conditions can various subsequent grinding processes be carried out, that is, the inscribed circle diameter of the blade blank needs to be within the required tolerance range. During actual production, generally, a vernier caliper is used manually to measure the inscribed circle diameter of each hexagonal precision blade blank, and those that meet the tolerance range requirements and those that do not meet the tolerance range requirements are placed separately. Such a detection and sorting method has low efficiency and is not conducive to improving production efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] To solve the above deficiencies of the prior art, this application provides an automatic blade detection and sorting device, which is used to detect the inscribed circle diameter of a blade blank and place the blade blanks separately based on the required tolerance range.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model adopts the following technologies:
[0005] An automatic blade detection and sorting device, comprising:
[0006] A storage mechanism, which is erected on a horizontally arranged base and includes a pair of vertically and oppositely arranged storage plates; a bearing plate is horizontally arranged below the storage plate, and the distance between the bottom of the bearing plate and the storage plate is greater than the thickness of one blade and less than the thickness of two blades;
[0007] A feeding mechanism, which is erected on the base and includes a first linear mechanism arranged on one side of the bottom of the storage plate, and its movable end faces between the bottoms of the two storage plates and the bearing plate and is connected with a pushing plate;
[0008] A sorting mechanism, which is arranged between the storage mechanism and the base and includes a mounting frame rotatably arranged around its own axis, the axis of the mounting frame is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axis of the movable end of the first linear mechanism; two clamping claws are arranged on the mounting frame, the distance between the two clamping claws along the axis direction of the mounting frame is adjustable, and a receiving table is arranged on the opposite faces of the two clamping claws; the sorting mechanism also includes a collection box placed on the base and having three accommodation spaces.
[0009] Further, guide rods are formed on both sides of the mounting frame. Two mounting platforms are sleeved on the guide rods, and the clamping claws are mounted on the mounting platforms. One of the mounting platforms is fixed on the guide rod. A second linear mechanism is provided at one end of the mounting frame, and its movable end is parallel to the axis of the mounting frame and connected to the other mounting platform.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. The blank blades to be detected are stored by the storage plate, and the blank blades to be detected stored are discharged one by one through the positional relationship between the storage plate and the bearing plate and in cooperation with the feeding mechanism, improving the automation degree of the blank blade discharging, and further improving the detection efficiency of the blank blades;
[0012] 2. The blank blades pushed by the feeding mechanism are received by the receiving platforms provided on the two clamping claws, and then the two clamping claws clamp the two ends of the blank blades and measure their inscribed circle diameters. According to the relationship between the measurement result and the required value, the distance between the two clamping claws and the rotation of the mounting frame are controlled, so that the normal blank blades, the blank blades exceeding the required value, and the blank blades less than the required value respectively fall into the corresponding accommodation spaces of the collection box, not only realizing the automatic detection of the inscribed circle diameter of the blank blades, but also realizing the placement of the blank blades separately according to the tolerance requirements, replacing the traditional manual detection and sorting method, and further improving the detection efficiency of the blank blades.

Detailed Embodiments
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following describes the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0018] An embodiment of the present application provides an automatic blade detection and sorting device, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, including: a storage mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 3 and a sorting mechanism 4.
[0019] Among them, the storage mechanism 1 is mounted on the base 2, and it includes a pair of vertically and oppositely arranged storage plates 11, and the space between the two storage plates 11 is used for stacking blade blanks; a bearing plate 12 is horizontally arranged below the storage plate 11, and the bearing plate 12 is used to bear the blade blanks in the two storage plates 11, and the distance between the bearing plate 12 and the bottom of the storage plate 11 is greater than the thickness of one blade and less than the thickness of two blades. The feeding mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 2, and it includes a first linear mechanism 31 arranged on one side of the bottom of the storage plate 11, and its movable end faces the space between the bottom of the two storage plates 11 and the bearing plate 12 and is connected with a pushing plate 32. The two ends of the pushing plate 32 are provided with push rods 321 of equal length, and the push rods 321 face the space between the bottom of the two storage plates 11 and the bearing plate 12 and are used to push the blade blanks located on the surface of the bearing plate 12. The sorting mechanism 4 is arranged between the storage mechanism 1 and the base 2, and it includes a mounting frame 41 rotatably arranged around its own axis. One end of the mounting frame 41 is provided with a driving motor 45 for driving the mounting frame 41 to rotate. The axis of the mounting frame 41 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axis of the movable end of the first linear mechanism 31; two claws 42 are arranged on the mounting frame 41, and the distance between the two claws 42 in the axial direction of the mounting frame 41 is adjustable. The opposite surfaces of the two claws 42 are provided with receiving platforms 43, and the receiving platforms 43 are used to receive the blade blanks pushed by the feeding mechanism 3; the sorting mechanism 4 further includes a collection box 44 placed on the base 2 and having three accommodation spaces.
[0020] During application, as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, first stack the blade blanks between the two storage plates 11, and the bearing plate 12 below the storage plates 11 holds the blade blanks between the storage plates 11; the first linear mechanism 31 operates, and its movable end drives the pusher plate 32 to move between the bottom of the storage plate 11 and the bearing plate 12, so that the ends of the two push rods 321 respectively abut against two adjacent end faces of the hexagonal blade. Since the distance between the bearing plate 12 and the bottom of the storage plate 11 is greater than the thickness of one blade and less than the thickness of two blades, the push rod 321 can only push out one blade blank on the surface of the bearing plate 12. And during the pushing process of the push rod 321, the ends of the two push rods 321 can cooperate with two adjacent end faces of the hexagonal blade to rotate the blade blank and adjust it to a posture that is easy for the two claws 42 to clamp. Correspondingly, in order to avoid the reset stroke of the movable end of the first linear mechanism 31 interfering with the automatic falling of the blade blank above the pushed-out blade blank, a horizontal baffle 322 can be provided at the upper end of the pusher plate 32. During the pushing process, the baffle 322 can block the blade blank that automatically falls above the pushed-out blade blank to avoid interference; the receiving platforms 43 provided on the two claws 42 receive the blade blank pushed by the feeding mechanism 3, reduce the distance between the two claws 42, and make the two claws 42 clamp the two mutually parallel end faces of the hexagonal blade blank. Correspondingly, a sensor with a ranging function and an ECU module input with a comparison program of the required value and the measured value need to be installed on the claw 42, and the driving motor 45 is used as the actuator; when the inner circumferential diameter of the blade measured by the two claws 42 meets the required value, this blade is a normal part, and the distance between the two claws 42 is increased, and the blade blank falls into the accommodation space in the middle of the collection box 44 from between the two claws 42; when the measured inner circumferential diameter of the blade is greater than the required value, it means that the blade blank has machining allowance. The ECU module controls the driving motor 45 to drive the two claws 42 to rotate to one side. When the blade blank is above the accommodation space on one side of the collection box 44, the two claws 42 release the blade blank, so that the blade blank falls into the accommodation space on one side of the collection box 44; when the measured inner circumferential diameter of the blade is less than the required value, this blade blank is a scrap part and cannot be processed. The ECU module controls the driving motor 45 to drive the two claws 42 to rotate to the other side. When the blade blank is above the accommodation space on the other side of the collection box 44, the two claws 42 release the blade blank, so that the blade blank falls into the accommodation space on the other side of the collection box 44; most of the blade blanks are normal parts, and the volume of the accommodation space in the collection box 44 for collecting normal parts should be greater than the volumes of the other two accommodation spaces. Through the setting of the storage plate 11 and the bearing plate 12, the cooperation between the pusher plate 32 and the storage plate 11, and the utilization of the mounting frame 41 and the claws 42, the device not only realizes the automatic detection of the inner circumferential diameter of the blade blank, but also realizes the separate placement of the blade blanks according to the tolerance requirements, replacing the traditional manual detection and material separation method, and further improving the detection efficiency of the blade blank.
[0021] The inscribed circle diameter of the blade blank is measured by clamping with two jaws 42. If the moving directions of the two jaws 42 deviate from the axis direction of the mounting bracket 41, it will directly affect the measurement accuracy. To avoid the above situation, a preferred solution is proposed in this embodiment. Specifically as follows: As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, guide rods 411 are formed on both sides of the mounting bracket 41. The guide rods 411 are arranged parallel to the axis of the mounting bracket 41. Two mounting platforms 412 are penetrated on the guide rods 411. The jaws 42 are mounted on the mounting platforms 412. One of the mounting platforms 412 is fixed on the guide rod 411. A second linear mechanism 413 is provided at one end of the mounting bracket 41. Its moving end is parallel to the axis of the mounting bracket 41 and is connected to the other mounting platform 412. The second linear mechanism 413 is used to drive the mounting platform 412 to move along the guide rod 411 to adjust the distance between the two jaws 42. Under the action of the guide rod 411, the jaws 42 always move along the axis direction of the mounting bracket 41 without deviation, ensuring the measurement accuracy, thereby improving the reliability of the device.
[0022] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, guide portions 111 are formed on both sides of the storage plate 11. The included angle formed by the guide portions 111 and the storage plate 11 is 120°, which is the angle of the corner of the regular hexagonal blade blank. The blade blank is placed between the two storage plates 11. The blade blank falls along the guide portions 111 under the action of gravity. The included angle formed by the guide portions 111 and the storage plate 11 automatically fits with the corner of the regular hexagonal blade blank, playing a guiding role for the blade blank, which is beneficial to the pushing out of the blade blank by the push rod 321, and further improving the reliability of the device.
[0023] As Figure 3 shown, to further ensure that when the push rod 321 pushes out the blade blank, the blade blank is in a posture that is easy for the two jaws to clamp, a pair of guide strips 121 perpendicular to the axis of the mounting bracket 41 can be provided on the bearing plate 12. The two guide strips 121 are respectively located below the corresponding storage plates 11. During the process of the push rod 321 pushing the blade blank, the two mutually parallel end faces of the blade blank will respectively move along the corresponding guide strips 121. Under the guiding action of the guide strips 121, the blade blank is always in a posture that is easy for the two jaws to clamp, which is beneficial to the clamping of the jaws 42, and further ensures the measurement accuracy of the jaws 42.
[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a pair of parallel support plates 21 are provided on the base 2. The storage plate 11, the bearing plate 12, the first linear mechanism 31 and the mounting bracket 41 are all installed between the two support plates 21. The drive motor 45 is installed outside one of the support plates 21, optimizing the structure of the device, improving the integration degree of the device, and facilitating the movement of the device.
[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
