Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic feeding equipment, in particular to an automatic bearing feeding machine. Background Technique

[0002] A bearing is a device used to support and reduce friction between mechanical components, allowing rotating or moving components to remain stable during operation. By providing rolling or sliding support between two surfaces, bearings can improve mechanical efficiency and lifespan and are widely used in various mechanical equipment and automobiles.

[0003] Bearings are important components commonly used in mechanical equipment. During the equipment assembly process, the bearings need to be placed at the installation station, and then the robotic arm picks and installs the bearings. However, currently, the placement of bearings mainly relies on manual labor, and the manual operation speed is slow, unable to meet the requirements of high-efficiency production, resulting in a decrease in the overall production efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic bearing feeding machine to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows.

[0006] An automatic bearing feeding machine includes a bottom plate. On the upper surface of the bottom plate, a feeding plate is provided. Inside the feeding plate, a push plate is installed through a pushing mechanism. Above the feeding plate, a lower layer ring is provided. Above the lower layer ring, an upper layer ring is installed through a vertical rod. A plurality of sliding grooves are formed on the surface of the upper layer ring. Inside the sliding grooves, sliders are slidably installed through a moving mechanism. At the end of the slider, a clamping plate is installed. On the lower surface of the upper layer ring, a driving mechanism is provided, and the driving mechanism is in transmission cooperation with a plurality of moving mechanisms.

[0007] It can be seen that by placing the bearings between multiple clamping plates, the bearing at the lowermost layer is inside the feeding plate. At this time, through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism and the driving mechanism, a plurality of clamping plates are driven to clamp and fix the bearings. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism drives the push plate to move horizontally, so as to push the bearing at the lowermost layer to slide on the feeding plate until it abuts against the inner wall of the other side of the feeding plate in the length direction, thereby pushing the bearing to the installation station for the robotic arm to pick up. After the push plate returns to the initial position, through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism and the driving mechanism, the plurality of clamping plates are driven to loosen the bearings, so that the bearings fall back inside the feeding plate under the action of gravity, facilitating the next pushing, thus achieving the purpose of automatic feeding, reducing manual operation, and improving production efficiency; and through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism and the driving mechanism, it can be applied to bearings of different sizes, with a wide application range and strong flexibility.

[0008] Further, the feeding mechanism includes two first side plates installed at the bottoms on both sides in the length direction of the loading plate. A first threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two first side plates. A first motor is installed on the outer surface of one of the first side plates, and the end of the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the first threaded rod. A nut seat is installed on the outer surface of the first threaded rod. A through groove is formed on the surface of the loading plate along its length direction. A connecting block is installed on the outer surface of the nut seat, and the end of the connecting block passes through the through groove and is connected to the pushing plate.

[0009] When the first motor is started, its output shaft drives the first threaded rod to rotate. Since the through groove and the connecting block limit the nut seat, the nut seat can be driven to move along the length direction of the first threaded rod, and the pushing plate is driven to move.

[0010] Further, the moving mechanism includes two second side plates installed on the lower surface of the upper ring. A second threaded rod is rotatably connected between the two second side plates, and the second threaded rod passes through the inside of the slider and is threadedly connected thereto. One end of the second threaded rod passes through to the outside of one of the second side plates and a bevel gear is installed.

[0011] Since the inner wall of the chute limits the slider, when the second threaded rod rotates, the slider can be driven to move, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the clamping plate to move.

[0012] Further, the driving mechanism includes a bevel gear ring rotatably installed on the upper surface of the lower ring. The bevel gear ring is meshed with a plurality of bevel gears. A driven gear is installed on the outer surface of the bevel gear ring. A second motor is installed on the upper surface of the upper ring. The end of the output shaft of the second motor passes through to the lower side of the upper ring and a driving gear is installed. The driving gear is meshed with the driven gear.

[0013] When the second motor is started, its output shaft drives the driving gear to rotate. Since the driving gear and the driven gear are meshed with each other, the bevel gear ring can be driven to rotate. And since the bevel gear ring is meshed with a plurality of bevel gears, a plurality of second threaded rods can be driven to rotate simultaneously, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting a plurality of clamping plates simultaneously.

[0014] Further, two parallel limiting plates are arranged inside the loading plate. Limiting rods are connected to both sides of the outer surface of the limiting plates, and the ends of the limiting rods pass through to the outside of the loading plate. A third threaded rod penetrates through and is threadedly connected to the loading plate. The end of the third threaded rod is rotatably connected to the limiting plate.

[0015] Since both sides of the limiting plate are limited by the limiting rods, when the third threaded rod is turned, the limiting plate can be driven to move horizontally. By adjusting the positions of the two limiting plates, bearings of different sizes can be limited.

[0016] Further, four electric push rods are installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and the ends of the telescopic ends of the electric push rods are connected to the lower surface of the lower ring.

[0017] After the plurality of clamping plates clamp and fix the bearing through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism and the driving mechanism, the electric push rod can be started, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod will push the lower layer ring upward. Therefore, the bearing located above can be driven to separate from the lowermost bearing, so that when the push plate pushes the lowermost bearing to move, it will not rub against the bearing above it, causing scratches and defects on the surface of the bearing.

[0018] Furthermore, the number of the sliding grooves is four, and the four sliding grooves are distributed in a coaxial array.

[0019] Through the arrangement of the four sliding grooves, the number of the clamping plates is also four. Therefore, the bearing inside can be firmly clamped.

[0020] Furthermore, a rubber pad is arranged on the outer surface of the clamping plate, and anti-slip lines are arranged on the outer surface of the rubber pad.

[0021] Through the arrangement of the rubber pad and the anti-slip lines, the friction between the clamping plate and the outer surface of the bearing can be increased, which not only improves the clamping effect and reduces the situation of sliding down, but also can play a role in protecting the bearing and avoiding situations such as pressing damage and scratches on the surface of the bearing.

Detailed implementation mode

[0028] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] As Figures 1-5 shown, an automatic bearing feeding machine includes a bottom plate 100. A feeding plate 101 is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 100. A pushing plate 102 is installed inside the feeding plate 101 through a pushing mechanism 200. A lower layer ring 103 is arranged above the feeding plate 101. An upper layer ring 105 is installed above the lower layer ring 103 through a vertical rod 104. A plurality of sliding grooves 106 are formed on the surface of the upper layer ring 105. A slider 107 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 106 through a moving mechanism 300. A clamping plate 108 is installed at the end of the slider 107. A driving mechanism 400 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper layer ring 105. The driving mechanism 400 is in transmission cooperation with a plurality of moving mechanisms 300.

[0030] During use, a worker installs the device at a designated work station, and then arranges the bearings and places them between a plurality of clamping plates 108. The plurality of clamping plates 108 can play a limiting role on the bearings. At this time, the bearing at the lowermost layer is inside the feeding plate 101. Through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism 300 and the driving mechanism 400, a plurality of clamping plates 108 can be driven to move simultaneously towards the center of the upper layer ring 105. Therefore, all the bearings except the lowermost layer can be clamped and fixed. Then, the pushing mechanism 200 drives the pushing plate 102 to move horizontally, and the bearing at the lowermost layer can be pushed downward until it abuts against the inner wall of the feeding plate 101. Therefore, the bearing can be automatically placed on the installation work station. Then, the pushing mechanism 200 drives the pushing plate 102 to return to the initial position. Through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism 300 and the driving mechanism 400, a plurality of clamping plates 108 can be driven to move away from the surface of the bearing simultaneously. At this time, the bearing loses the clamping and fixing and under the action of gravity, it falls downward inside the feeding plate 101. Subsequently, by repeating the above operations, the purpose of automatic feeding can be achieved, reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency; and through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism 300 and the driving mechanism 400, it can be applicable to bearings of different sizes, with a wide application range and strong flexibility.

[0031] Specifically, the material pushing mechanism 200 includes two first side plates 201 installed at the bottoms on both sides of the feeding plate 101 in the length direction. A first threaded rod 202 is rotatably connected between the two first side plates 201. A first motor 203 is installed on the outer surface of one of the first side plates 201. The end of the output shaft of the first motor 203 is connected to the first threaded rod 202. A nut seat 204 is installed on the outer surface of the first threaded rod 202. A through groove 205 is formed on the surface of the feeding plate 101 along its length direction. A connecting block 206 is installed on the outer surface of the nut seat 204. The end of the connecting block 206 passes through the through groove 205 and is connected to the pushing plate 102. When the first motor 203 is started, its output shaft drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate. Since the through groove 205 and the connecting block 206 limit the nut seat 204, the nut seat 204 can be driven to move along the length direction of the first threaded rod 202, and the pushing plate 102 is driven to move.

[0032] Specifically, the moving mechanism 300 includes two second side plates 301 installed on the lower surface of the upper layer ring 105. A second threaded rod 302 is rotatably connected between the two second side plates 301, and the second threaded rod 302 passes through the inside of the slider 107 and is threadedly connected thereto. One end of the second threaded rod 302 passes through to the outside of one of the second side plates 301 and a bevel gear 303 is installed thereon. Since the inner wall of the chute 106 limits the slider 107, when the second threaded rod 302 rotates, the slider 107 can be driven to move, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the clamping plate 108 to move.

[0033] Specifically, the driving mechanism 400 includes a bevel gear ring 401 rotatably installed on the upper surface of the lower layer ring 103. The bevel gear ring 401 is meshed with a plurality of bevel gears 303. A driven gear 404 is installed on the outer surface of the bevel gear ring 401. A second motor 402 is installed on the upper surface of the upper layer ring 105. The end of the output shaft of the second motor 402 passes through to the lower side of the upper layer ring 105 and a driving gear 403 is installed thereon. The driving gear 403 is meshed with the driven gear 404. When the second motor 402 is started, its output shaft drives the driving gear 403 to rotate. Since the driving gear 403 and the driven gear 404 are meshed with each other, the bevel gear ring 401 can be driven to rotate. And since the bevel gear ring 401 is meshed with a plurality of bevel gears 303, a plurality of second threaded rods 302 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, so as to achieve the purpose of simultaneously adjusting a plurality of clamping plates 108.

[0034] Specifically, two parallel limiting plates 500 are arranged inside the loading plate 101. Limiting rods 501 are connected to both sides of the outer surface of the limiting plate 500, and the ends of the limiting rods 501 penetrate to the outside of the loading plate 101. A third threaded rod 502 penetrates through and is threadedly connected to the loading plate 101, and the end of the third threaded rod 502 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 500. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting rods 501 on both sides of the limiting plate 500, when the third threaded rod 502 is turned, the limiting plate 500 can be driven to move horizontally. By adjusting the positions of the two limiting plates 500, bearings of different sizes can be limited.

[0035] Specifically, four electric push rods 600 are installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 100, and the ends of the telescopic ends of the electric push rods 600 are connected to the lower surface of the lower layer ring 103. After the bearings are clamped and fixed by the plurality of clamping plates 108 through the transmission cooperation of the moving mechanism 300 and the driving mechanism 400, the electric push rods 600 can be started. The telescopic ends of the electric push rods 600 jack up the lower layer ring 103, so that the bearings located above can be separated from the lowermost bearing, and when the push plate 102 pushes the lowermost bearing to move, it will not rub against the bearings above it, causing scratches and defects on the surface of the bearings.

[0036] Specifically, the number of the sliding grooves 106 is four, and the four sliding grooves 106 are coaxially and arrayedly distributed. Through the arrangement of the four sliding grooves 106, the number of the clamping plates 108 is also four, so that the bearings inside them can be firmly clamped.

[0037] Specifically, a rubber pad is arranged on the outer surface of the clamping plate 108, and anti-slip lines are arranged on the outer surface of the rubber pad. Through the arrangement of the rubber pad and the anti-slip lines, the friction force between the clamping plate 108 and the outer surface of the bearing can be increased, which not only improves the clamping effect and reduces the situation of sliding down, but also can play a role in protecting the bearing and avoiding situations such as pressing injuries and scratches on the surface of the bearing.

[0038] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in combination with specific embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation manners of the present invention are only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications are made, and the performance or use is the same, and all should be regarded as belonging to the patent protection scope determined by the claims submitted by the present invention.
