Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing processing, and particularly relates to a faceting device for a cage blank. Background Art

[0002] The deep groove ball bearing is also called a single row radial ball bearing. Because it has small frictional resistance, high rotational speed, and can be used for parts that can bear combined loads acting radially and axially at the same time, parts that bear only radial loads, or parts that bear only axial loads, it is therefore the most widely used rolling bearing.

[0003] The deep groove ball bearing generally includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a set of steel balls and a set of cages. The cage is usually in a ring structure. At present, the processing method of the cage is usually stamping. Specifically, a circular cage blank is stamped on a plate. Due to the stamping method, the front side of the cage blank (the side in contact with the upper die structure during the stamping process) is relatively smooth, and the back side of the cage blank is relatively rough due to the existence of gaps during the stamping process.

[0004] Due to the different roughness of the front and back sides of the cage blank, there are differences in the subsequent processing processes.

Detailed implementation manners

[0051] The present utility model discloses a surface-sorting device for a cage blank to distinguish the front and back sides of the cage blank, facilitating subsequent processing of the cage blank.

[0052] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0053] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" 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. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0054] The deep groove ball bearing is also known as the single-row radial ball bearing. Because it has small frictional resistance, high rotational speed, and can be used for parts that can bear combined loads acting radially and axially simultaneously, parts that bear only radial loads, or parts that bear only axial loads, it is therefore the most widely used type of rolling bearing.

[0055] Deep groove ball bearings generally consist of an outer ring, an inner ring, a set of steel balls and a set of cages. The cage is usually of a ring structure. Currently, the processing method of the cage is usually stamping. Specifically, a ring-shaped cage blank is stamped on a sheet metal. Due to the stamping method, the front side of the cage blank (the side in contact with the upper die structure during the stamping process) is relatively smooth, while the back side of the cage blank is relatively rough due to the existence of gaps during the stamping process (there will be burrs at the positions of the inner and outer rings on the back side of the ring-shaped cage blank).

[0056] Since the inner and outer diameters of the cage blank have different roughness on the front and back sides, there are differences in the processes during subsequent processing.

[0057] Based on this, it is necessary to facet the cage blanks transported to the subsequent processing process to clearly provide the placement methods of the cage blanks for the subsequent processing process. The placement methods in this article include placing the front side up and placing the back side up.

[0058] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this application discloses a faceting device for cage blanks, including a cabinet 100, a control system 200, a feeding-end storage device 300, a feeding component 400, a conveying device 500, an image acquisition and detection device 600, a rejection device 700, a discharging device 800, a first discharging-end storage device 901 and a second discharging-end storage device 902.

[0059] Among them, the cabinet 100 is of a cabinet structure and can be set according to different needs. Exemplarily, the cabinet 100 can be a rectangular cabinet, and the position near the upper part of the cabinet 100 is a transparent panel surface to facilitate the staff to observe the working conditions inside the cabinet 100. The position near the lower part of the cabinet 100 is a structure with an opening and closing door, and electrical equipment is placed inside. The electrical equipment set inside the cabinet 100 can be set according to different needs.

[0060] A display lamp 101 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 100. The display lamp 101 will change according to the working conditions of the faceting device for cage blanks. For example, when the faceting device for cage blanks is working normally, the green light of the display lamp 101 is on; when a fault occurs inside the faceting device for cage blanks, the red light of the display lamp 101 is on; when the faceting device for cage blanks is not working, the display lamp 101 is off.

[0061] The control system 200 includes a controller main body and a display screen. Exemplarily, the control system 200 can be a computer.

[0062] The feeding-end storage device 300, the feeding assembly 400, the conveying device 500, the image acquisition and detection device 600, the rejection device 700, the discharging device 800, the first discharging-end storage device 901, and the second discharging-end storage device 902 are all installed inside the cabinet 100.

[0063] Combined with Figure 2 The connection relationship of the above structure will be described.

[0064] Specifically, the feeding-end storage device 300 is arranged at one end inside the cabinet 100, and the first discharging-end storage device 901 and the second discharging-end storage device 902 are located at the other end inside the cabinet 100. The conveying device 500 extends from one end to the other end inside the cabinet 100. Exemplarily, the conveying device 500 is a conveyor belt. One end of the conveyor belt is close to the feeding-end storage device 300, and the first discharging-end storage device 901 and the second discharging-end storage device 902 are distributed on both sides of the other end of the conveyor belt.

[0065] The feeding assembly 400 is located at one end of the conveying device 500 and is close to the feeding-end storage device 300; the discharging device 800 is located at the other end of the conveying device 500 and is close to the first discharging-end storage device 901 and the second discharging-end storage device 902. The image acquisition and detection device 600 is located between the feeding assembly 400 and the discharging device 800 and is above the conveying device 500.

[0066] The feeding-end storage device 300 in this application is used to stack the cage blanks to be placed in different ways. The feeding assembly is used to transfer the cage blanks from the feeding-end storage device 300 to the conveying device 500. The conveying device 500 is used to convey the cage blanks to the discharging device 800. The discharging device 800 is used to transfer the cage blanks on the conveying device 500 to the first discharging-end storage device 901 or the second discharging-end storage device 902. Among them, the first discharging-end storage device 901 is used to stack the cage blanks with the front side facing up, and the second discharging-end storage device 902 is used to stack the cage blanks with the back side facing up.

[0067] The above-mentioned image acquisition and detection device 600 is used to acquire the image information of the side of the cage blank on the conveying device 500 facing the image acquisition and detection device 600, determine the placement method of the cage blank according to the acquired image information, and the blanking device 800 moves towards the first blanking end storage device 901 or towards the second blanking end storage device 902 according to the placement method of the cage blank determined by the image acquisition and detection device 600. Specifically, when the image acquisition and detection device 600 determines that the front side of the cage blank is facing up, the blanking device 800 is controlled to move towards the first blanking end storage device 901; when the image acquisition and detection device 600 determines that the reverse side of the cage blank is facing up, the blanking device 800 is controlled to move towards the second blanking end storage device 902.

[0068] The cage blank faceting device in this application feeds the stacked cage blanks onto the conveying device 500, and during transportation, the image acquisition and detection device 600 acquires the image of the upward-facing surface of the cage blank, determines whether the upward-facing surface of the cage blank is the front or the reverse according to the roughness at the inner and outer diameters of the acquired image, and places the cage blanks with the front side facing up and the cage blanks with the reverse side facing up at different positions, so as to distinguish the front and reverse sides of the cage blanks and facilitate subsequent processing of the cage blanks.

[0069] In some embodiments, a rejection device 700 is provided between the image acquisition and detection device 600 and the blanking device 800. The rejection device 700 is used to remove the unqualified cage blanks on the conveying device 500 detected by the image acquisition and detection device 600.

[0070] The rejection device 700 is connected to the image acquisition and detection device 600, and when the image acquisition and detection device 600 determines that the cage blank is unqualified, the rejection device 700 is controlled to start. Specifically, after the image acquisition and detection device 600 acquires the upper surface image of the cage blank, it compares the acquired image with the pre-stored roughness value in the image acquisition and detection device 600. If the roughness values at the inner and outer diameters of the cage blank image acquired by the image acquisition and detection device 600 are within the first range, the upper surface of the corresponding cage blank is the front side, and the blanking device 800 moves towards the first blanking end storage device 901; if the roughness values at the inner and outer diameters of the cage blank image acquired by the image acquisition and detection device 600 are within the second range, the upper surface of the corresponding cage blank is the reverse side, and the blanking device 800 moves towards the second blanking end storage device 902; if the roughness values at the inner and outer diameters of the cage blank image acquired by the image acquisition and detection device 600 exceed the third range or the acquired image has large depressions, protrusions or bends, the corresponding cage blank is a defective cage blank, that is, an unqualified cage blank, and the rejection device 700 is started.

[0071] By providing a rejection device 700, defective cage blanks can be rejected, improving the yield of finished cages.

[0072] The basic layout and structure of the above-mentioned faceting device for cage blanks have been described. The following will describe the specific structures of each device.

[0073] As Figure 2 shown, the rejection device 700 in the embodiment includes: a blowing mechanism 701, a guide plate 702, and a storage box 703.

[0074] Among them, the blowing mechanism 701 is arranged on one side of the conveying device 500 and blows air towards the conveying device 500, causing the cage blanks on the conveying device 500 to fall off the conveying device 500. The guide plate 702 is arranged on the other side of the conveying device 500, and the guide plate 702 is arranged obliquely relative to the conveying device 500. Specifically, the height of the end of the guide plate 702 close to the conveying device 500 is higher than the height of the end of the guide plate 702 far from the conveying device 500, and the end of the guide plate 702 far from the conveying device 500 communicates with the storage box 703.

[0075] The image acquisition and detection device 600 is connected to the blowing mechanism 701. If the image acquisition and detection device 600 determines that the cage blank is defective, that is, a non-conforming product, when the non-conforming cage blank is transported to the position where the rejection device 700 is located, the blowing mechanism 701 is activated and blows the non-conforming cage blank off the conveying device 500 onto the guide plate 702. The cage blank slides onto the storage box 703 under the guiding action of the guide plate 702. When the non-conforming cage blank is blown off the conveying device 500, the blowing mechanism 701 stops blowing.

[0076] In this application, the control of the image acquisition and detection device 600 and the blowing mechanism 701 can be achieved through the control system 200. That is, the image acquisition and detection device 600 acquires image information and determines whether the cage blank is defective, and uploads the judgment result to the control system 200. The control system 200 controls the blowing mechanism 701 to start. Of course, the judgment process for whether the cage blank is defective and whether the upward-facing surface of the cage blank is the front or the back can be achieved through the judgment module set in the control system 200.

[0077] As Figure 3 shown, the feeding-end storage device 300 includes a base 301 and a magnetic separator 302. Among them, the base 301 includes but is not limited to being a disc. One side of the base 301 is connected to a driving device, such as a motor, and the base 301 can be driven to rotate by the motor. The cage blanks are stacked on the base 301, and when the cage blanks are stacked, they may face upwards either with the front side or the back side.

[0078] The magnetic separator 302 is installed on the base 301, and the cage blank is arranged inside the magnetic separator 302. Exemplarily, there are multiple magnetic separators 302, and they are arranged circumferentially along the base 301, including but not limited to being evenly arranged.

[0079] The magnetic separator 302 in this text includes a magnetic generating seat 3021 and a magnetic conducting column 3022. Among them, the magnetic conducting column 3022 is fixedly connected to the magnetic generating seat 3021. Exemplarily, there are three magnetic generating seats 3021, and correspondingly three magnetic conducting columns 3022, that is, the magnetic generating seats 3021 and the magnetic conducting columns 3022 are connected in one-to-one correspondence. The space surrounded by the three magnetic conducting columns 3022 is the placement space for the cage blank.

[0080] The magnetic generating seat 3021 usually uses an electromagnet or a permanent magnet to generate an electric field through energization. The magnetic conducting column 3022 magnetizes the cage blank through the same-polarity magnetic force, so that a mutually repulsive force is generated between the cage blanks, thereby realizing separation. In some embodiments, the position of the magnetic generating seat 3021 on the base 301 is adjustable, so as to be compatible with cage blanks of more sizes.

[0081] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the loading component 400 in this application includes: a lifting device 401 and a loading device 402.

[0082] Among them, the lifting device 401 is used to lift the cage blank of the loading-end storage device 300 to a preset height; the loading device 402 is used to transfer the cage blank lifted by the lifting device 401 to the conveying device 500.

[0083] Figure 3 The lifting device 401 in

[0084] Exemplarily, the jaw 4011 is of an arc structure and is used to insert between the stacked cage blanks for lifting the cage blank. In some embodiments, the jaw 4011 can also clamp the cage blank. The above-mentioned guide rail 4012 is a lead screw, and the jaw 4011 is circumferentially limited and installed on the lead screw. The driving member 4013 drives the lead screw to rotate. Optionally, the driving member 4013 is a motor and is connected to the lead screw through a transmission gear to drive the lead screw to rotate. Since the jaw 4011 is circumferentially limited and installed on the lead screw, during the rotation of the lead screw, the jaw 4011 moves along the axis of the lead screw.

[0085] Those skilled in the art can understand that the lifting device 401 can also be driven by a cylinder, as long as the lifting of the jaw 4011 can be realized.

[0086] Combined Figure 4As shown, the loading device 402 and the unloading device 800 in some embodiments have the same structure and are both used to transfer the cage blanks. In the embodiments of the present application, both the loading device 402 and the unloading device 800 are PPU (Pick and Place Unit) manipulators. The PPU manipulator is a mechanical device driven by a pure motor, with a simple structure, stable performance, and small volume, and is particularly suitable for handling stations with high-precision and high-speed requirements. The design of this manipulator aims to provide a high-efficiency material handling solution.

[0087] Taking Figure 4 the loading device 402 as an example, the structure of the PPU manipulator will be described: The loading device 402 includes a base 4021, a rotating shaft 4022, a connecting frame 4023, and a clamping portion 4024.

[0088] Exemplarily, the base 4021 is used to connect with the conveying device 500 and is located above the conveying device 500. The base 4021 can be placed perpendicular to the conveying device 500. The rotating shaft 4022 can rotate within the plane where the base 4021 is located. Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 4022 is rotatably connected to the base 4021, and the other end is hinged to the connecting frame 4023. The clamping portion 4024 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 4023. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 4022, the connecting frame 4023 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the position of the clamping portion 4024.

[0089] In this article, the rotation range of the rotating shaft 4022 is the lower half circle range where the base 4021 is close to the conveying device 500. Exemplarily, the rotation angle can be 90°. When the connecting frame 4023 rotates to the distal end in the horizontal direction, the cage blank lifted by the lifting device can be clamped by the clamping portion 4024; the rotating shaft 4022 rotates downward, thereby reducing the height of the connecting frame 4023, driving the clamping portion 4024 to change both the position in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so as to realize transferring the cage blank clamped by the clamping portion 4024 to the conveying device 500.

[0090] For the unloading device 800, the rotation range of the rotating shaft 4022 is the lower half circle range where the base 4021 is close to the conveying device 500. Exemplarily, the rotation angle can be 180°. When the connecting frame 4023 rotates to the lowest point, the cage blank on the conveying device 500 can be clamped by the clamping portion 4024; when the rotating shaft 4022 rotates clockwise to the distal end on the first side in the horizontal direction, the clamping portion 4024 is opposite to the first unloading end storage device 901; when the rotating shaft 4022 rotates counterclockwise to the distal end on the second side in the horizontal direction, the clamping portion 4024 is opposite to the second unloading end storage device 902.

[0091] The specific structure and installation direction of the PPU manipulator can also be set according to different needs, as long as the function of transporting the cage blank can be achieved.

[0092] In some embodiments, an optical fiber induction detector may be provided on the connecting frame 4023 to detect whether there is a cage blank on the clamping portion 4024, so as to avoid the problem of missed clamping and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When the connecting frame 4023 rotates, if the optical fiber induction detector detects that there is no cage blank on the clamping portion 4024, an alarm message will be sent. The alarm message includes but is not limited to sound alarm, light alarm or a combination of sound and light alarm.

[0093] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the image acquisition and detection device 600 includes: a bracket 601 and a camera module 602. Among them, the bracket 601 includes a cross beam 6012 and a longitudinal beam 6011. Among them, the longitudinal beam 6011 is perpendicularly connected to the cross beam 6012. Exemplarily, there are two longitudinal beams 6011, which are connected to both ends of the longitudinal beam 6011, so that the bracket 601 becomes a U-shaped frame structure. The two longitudinal beams 6011 are arranged on both sides of the conveying device 500, so that the cross beam 6012 straddles the conveying device 500, specifically straddling the conveying device 500 in the vertical direction of the transportation direction of the conveying device 500. The camera module 602 is installed on the cross beam 6012, and the camera of the camera module 602 faces the conveying device 500.

[0094] Exemplarily, the camera module 602 includes but is not limited to a camera and an image processor, and light-shielding plates may be provided on both sides of the camera. The camera module 602 can measure the positions of the inner and outer diameters of the ring of the cage blank, detect surface defects, and distinguish between front and back material collection. The light source of the camera module 602 can be adjusted up and down to meet different requirements.

[0095] In some embodiments, the structures of the first blank discharging end storage device 901 and the second blank discharging end storage device 902 are the same to reduce the development cost. The following takes Figure 6 the structure of the first blank discharging end storage device 901 as an example for description.

[0096] Figure 6 The first blank discharging end storage device 901 shown in

[0097] Among them, the bottom plate 9011 includes but is not limited to a disc structure. The column 9012 is fixed on the bottom plate 9011, including but not limited to being fixedly connected by bolts.
