Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engine connecting rod processing, and particularly relates to a material blocking and distributing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In today's highly automated industrial production field, especially in the scenario of automated batch processing and transportation of connecting rods, usually after the conveying line completes the conveying task of the connecting rods, it is necessary to take the connecting rods by automated means and place them on three peristaltic raceways respectively in a one-to-three manner to meet the requirements of subsequent processing or treatment.

[0003] However, it is not easy to achieve efficient and accurate automatic material taking. In order to ensure the smooth progress of this process and effectively avoid the occurrence of adverse situations such as material jamming and mis-sensing, the connecting rods at the end of the conveying raceway must be strictly released one by one in an orderly manner. But in the current actual production situation, the orderly release of the connecting rods at the end of the conveying raceway depends on manual operation. The workload of manual operation in this link is extremely heavy, not only consuming a lot of time and energy, but also having very low efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] See Figure 1, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a material blocking and distributing mechanism, which includes a material blocking component 1, a first link induction component 2, a material distributing component 3, and a second link induction component 4 arranged in sequence on a conveying track. The material blocking component 1 is used to block the flow of links on the conveying track. The first link induction component 2 is used to detect whether there is a link between the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3. The material distributing component 3 is used to release or block the link. The second link induction component 4 is used to detect the conveying situation after the link is released.

[0024] Specifically, when both the second link induction component 4 and the first link induction component 2 sense that there is no link, both the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 are in a released state, the conveying track is unobstructed, and the links can flow freely on the conveying track. When the second link induction component 4 senses that there is no link, while the first link induction component 2 senses that there is a link, the material blocking component 1 starts to block the subsequent links from moving forward, and the material distributing component 3 is in a released state, and the links located between the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 can continue to move forward. When both the second link induction component 4 and the first link induction component 2 sense that there is a link, the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 are activated to block the links between the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 and the subsequent links from moving forward. Through the above settings, the orderly piece-by-piece transportation of links on the conveying track is realized, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the conveying, significantly improving the production efficiency, reducing the need for manual intervention, and reducing the probability of production failures caused by conveying chaos, providing stable and orderly link supply conditions for subsequent processing or handling links.

[0025] See Figure 1 , the material blocking component 1 includes a first mounting seat 11, a material blocking cylinder 12, and a material blocking rod 13. The first mounting seat 11 is arranged on one side of the conveying track. The material blocking cylinder 12 and the material blocking rod 13 are arranged on the first mounting seat 11. The material blocking rod 13 is slidably connected to the first mounting seat 11. The telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12 is connected to one end of the material blocking rod 13. The material blocking cylinder 12 drives the material blocking rod 13 to extend out of the conveying track to block the flow of links on the conveying track.

[0026] Specifically, the first mounting seat 11 includes a first base plate 111 mounted on one side of the conveying raceway. At both ends of the top of the first base plate 111 along the length direction, a first mounting plate 112 and a second mounting plate 113 protrude. The first mounting plate 112 is close to the conveying raceway, and the material blocking cylinder 12 is mounted on the side of the second mounting plate 113 away from the first mounting plate 112. The telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12 penetrates through the second mounting plate 113 and is movably connected to the second mounting plate 113. The material blocking rod 13 penetrates through the first mounting plate 112 and is movably connected to the first mounting plate 112. The first mounting plate 112 is provided with a movable hole for the movable connection of the material blocking rod 13, and one end of the material blocking rod 13 is connected to the telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12. When the first connecting rod sensing component 2 senses no connecting rod, the material blocking cylinder 12 contracts to drive the material blocking rod 13 to retract, and the conveying raceway remains unobstructed, allowing the connecting rod to pass smoothly. When the first connecting rod sensing component 2 senses a connecting rod, the material blocking cylinder 12 extends to push the material blocking rod 13 so that it extends out of the conveying raceway, effectively blocking the flow of subsequent connecting rods and ensuring the orderliness and controllability of the connecting rod conveying.

[0027] See Figure 1 , one end of the material blocking rod 13 is provided with a first floating head 14, and the first floating head 14 is connected to the telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12. Under the action of the telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12, the first floating head 14 drives the material blocking rod 13 to move. The first floating head 14 plays a role in buffering and connecting, making the action of the material blocking rod 13 more stable.

[0028] See Figure 1 , the first mounting seat 11 is provided with a first oil-free bushing 15, and the first oil-free bushing 15 is slidably connected to the material blocking rod 13. Specifically, the first oil-free bushing 15 is installed in the movable hole, and one end of the first oil-free bushing 15 protrudes from the end of the movable hole away from the second mounting plate 113. The first oil-free bushing 15 can reduce the friction generated when the material blocking rod 13 moves relative to the movable hole, ensure the smooth sliding of the material blocking rod 13, and reduce the wear of the material blocking rod 13.

[0029] See Figure 1 , the material distributing component 3 includes a second mounting seat 31, a material distributing cylinder 32 and a material distributing rod 33. The second mounting seat 31 is arranged on one side of the conveying raceway. The material distributing cylinder 32 and the material distributing rod 33 are both arranged on the second mounting seat 31. The material distributing rod 33 is slidably connected to the second mounting seat 31. The telescopic end of the material distributing cylinder 32 is connected to one end of the material distributing rod 33. The material distributing cylinder 32 drives the material distributing rod 33 to extend out of the conveying raceway or retract into the second mounting seat 31 to realize the switching control of releasing or blocking the connecting rod.

[0030] Specifically, the second mounting seat 31 includes a second base plate 311 mounted on one side of the conveying raceway. At both ends of the top of the second base plate 311 along the length direction, a third mounting plate 312 and a fourth mounting plate 313 protrude. The third mounting plate 312 is close to the conveying raceway, and the material distributing cylinder 32 is installed on the side of the fourth mounting plate 313 away from the third mounting plate 312. The telescopic end of the material distributing cylinder 32 penetrates through the fourth mounting plate 313 and is movably connected to the fourth mounting plate 313. The material distributing rod 33 penetrates through the third mounting plate 312 and is slidably connected to the third mounting plate 312. The third mounting plate 312 is provided with a sliding hole for the material distributing rod 33 to be slidably connected. One end of the material distributing rod 33 is connected to the telescopic end of the material distributing cylinder 32. When the second connecting rod sensing component 4 senses no connecting rod, the material distributing cylinder 32 contracts to drive the material distributing rod 33 to retract into the second mounting seat 31, and the conveying raceway remains unobstructed, allowing the connecting rod to pass through smoothly. When the second connecting rod sensing component 4 senses a connecting rod, the material distributing cylinder 32 extends to push the material distributing rod 33 so that it extends out of the conveying raceway to block the connecting rod from moving forward, achieving precise control of releasing or blocking the connecting rod. Through the coordinated action of the material distributing cylinder 32 and the material distributing rod 33, the releasing or blocking state of the connecting rod can be quickly and accurately switched according to the detection signal of the second connecting rod sensing component 4. At the same time, the precise control reduces production interruptions and faults caused by misoperations or inaccurate blocking and releasing, ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0031] See Figure 1 , one end of the material distributing rod 33 is provided with a second floating head 34, and the second floating head 34 is connected to the telescopic end of the material distributing cylinder 32. Under the action of the telescopic end of the material distributing cylinder 32, the second floating head 34 drives the material distributing rod 33 to move. The second floating head 34 plays a role of buffering and connecting, making the movement of the material distributing rod 33 more stable.

[0032] See Figure 1 , the second mounting seat 31 is provided with a second oil-free bushing 35, and the second oil-free bushing 35 is slidably connected to the material distributing rod 33. Specifically, the second oil-free bushing 35 is installed in the sliding hole, and one end of the second oil-free bushing 35 protrudes from the end of the sliding hole away from the fourth mounting plate 313. The second oil-free bushing 35 can reduce the friction generated when the material distributing rod 33 moves relative to the sliding hole, ensure the smooth sliding of the material distributing rod 33, and reduce the wear of the material distributing rod 33.

[0033] See Figure 1 , the first connecting rod sensing component 2 includes first sensors 21 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying raceway, and the second connecting rod sensing component 4 includes second sensors 41 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying raceway.

[0034] The implementation principle of this embodiment:

[0035] When neither the first link induction component 2 nor the second link induction component 4 senses a link, at this time, both the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 are in the release state, the conveying raceway is unobstructed, and the links can flow freely on the conveying raceway.

[0036] When the second sensor 41 does not detect a link while the first sensor 21 detects a link, the material blocking component 1 is activated. The telescopic end of the material blocking cylinder 12 extends to push the material blocking rod 13, blocking the subsequent links from advancing. At the same time, the material distributing cylinder 32 in the material distributing component 3 contracts, driving the material distributing rod 33 to retract into the second mounting seat 31, putting the material distributing component 3 in the release state, allowing the links in the material distributing component 3 to continue to advance. Such coordinated actions ensure that only one link can pass through the material distributing component 3 each time, achieving piece-by-piece conveying.

[0037] When both the first sensor 21 and the second sensor 41 detect a link, the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 are activated simultaneously. The material blocking cylinder 12 drives the material blocking rod 13 to extend, and the material distributing cylinder 32 drives the material distributing rod 33 to extend, blocking the links between the material blocking component 1 and the material distributing component 3 and the subsequent links from advancing.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
