Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic blanking, in particular to a closing and correcting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of workpieces, for ease of handling, they are typically placed on a conveyor belt, which is then driven by a drive mechanism to transport the workpieces. However, because the workpieces are placed directly on the conveyor belt and are too small, they can slip and deflect on the belt, preventing them from being properly stacked at the end of the conveyor belt, hindering batch transfer. To ensure that the workpieces are stacked in a straight line at the end of the conveyor belt, workers typically use external force to straighten the workpieces. However, this manual correction method can lead to deviations, waste time and human resources, and reduce production efficiency.

[0003] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN 217707961 U discloses a material stacking mechanism, including a work table, on which is provided an adjustable material guide mechanism, the adjustable material guide mechanism including a mounting seat and a hydraulic cylinder, the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder being connected to a connecting block, the interior of the connecting block being connected to an electric push rod, the output shaft of the electric push rod being connected to a material guide plate, a mounting box being connected between the two mounting seats, the inner wall of one side of the mounting box being connected to a power box, the bottom of the power box being connected to a motor, the output shaft of the motor being connected to a screw rod, the outer side of the screw rod being threadedly connected to a movable plate. This material stacking mechanism utilizes an adjustable material guide to arrange and guide the raw materials after they have been processed and are transported by a conveyor, thereby helping to avoid random accumulation of the raw materials. Although this mechanism can replace manual material stacking, the operation is relatively complicated and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Based on these descriptions, a person skilled in the art will be able to implement the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention described below generally represent only a portion of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Therefore, all other embodiments derived by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The workpiece 4 is placed on the conveyor belt 3 and moves forward with the conveyor belt 3. During the moving process, the position of the workpiece 4 will be offset, making it impossible to arrange it neatly, which is not conducive to the grasping of the next process. If the staff relies on manually correcting the workpiece 4 to the correct position, it will lead to a waste of time and human resources and reduce production efficiency.

[0022] To address the above problems, this embodiment provides a closing and correction mechanism, which is arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 3, for closing the workpieces 4 scattered on the conveyor belt 3 and correcting the workpieces 4 to the correct position so that they can be correctly stacked at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3 for easy grasping.

[0023] Close the correction mechanism, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt 3 is included for conveying workpieces 4 placed on the conveyor belt 3. A first correction component and a second correction component are respectively provided on either side of the conveyor belt 3. The two correction components can move synchronously horizontally relative to or in opposite directions. When the workpiece 4 reaches between the first correction component and the second correction component, the two correction components move closer to each other and move horizontally relative to each other, closing the workpieces 4 that are in dispersed positions. Before the workpieces 4 reach the material stopper at the end of the conveyor belt 3, the workpieces 4 are corrected to be arranged in a straight line to facilitate plate swinging. Afterwards, the two correction components move away from each other and in opposite directions horizontally, returning to their initial positions.

[0024] The first correction assembly includes a first side plate 13 and a first correction plate 11, and the second correction assembly includes a second side plate 23 and a second correction plate 21. The first correction plate 11 and the second correction plate 21 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 3 and are parallel to the conveyor belt 3. When the two correction plates are close to each other, the scattered workpieces 4 between the two correction plates can be closed and arranged in a straight line. The first side plate 13 is connected to the first correction plate 11 and is vertically arranged above the first correction plate 11. The second side plate 23 is connected to the second correction plate 21 and is also vertically arranged above the second correction plate 21. Therefore, by driving the two side plates, the two correction plates can be driven to move horizontally and synchronously relative to or in opposite directions, so as to close and correct the workpieces 4 that arrive between the two correction plates.

[0025] In order to prevent the two correction plates from damaging the workpiece 4 when closing and correcting the workpiece 4 , a sponge layer is coated on the surfaces of the first correction plate 11 and the second correction plate 21 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the first correction assembly and the second correction assembly are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 3.

[0027] In other embodiments, the first correction plate 11 and the second correction plate 21 are not symmetrically positioned at the ends of the conveyor belt 3. However, there is an overlap between the projection of the first correction plate 11 on the corresponding side and the position of the second correction plate 21. In this arrangement, to ensure that the two correction plates can still align the workpiece 4 on the conveyor belt 3 when they are close together, the length of the overlap is no less than one-third of the length of the first correction plate 11.

[0028] In addition, the first correction assembly further includes a first telescopic member 12, and the second correction assembly further includes a first telescopic member 22. The first telescopic member 12 is connected to the first side plate 13 and drives the first correction plate 11 to move by telescoping, and the first telescopic member 22 is connected to the second side plate 23 and is also used to drive the second correction plate 21 to move by telescoping.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first telescopic member 12 is a first cylinder, and the telescopic end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the first side plate 13; the second telescopic member 22 is a second cylinder, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the second side plate 23. The telescopic ends of the two cylinders can perform telescopic movement relative to the fixed ends of the cylinders, and the movement direction of the telescopic ends of the two cylinders is parallel to the movement direction of the correction plate connected thereto, so the two correction plates will move horizontally synchronously relative to or in opposite directions with the telescopic movement of the telescopic ends of the two cylinders, wherein, when the telescopic ends of the two cylinders extend, the two correction plates approach each other and move horizontally relative to each other, thereby completing the closing and correction of the workpiece 4; when the telescopic ends of the two cylinders contract, the two correction plates move away from each other and move horizontally in opposite directions, returning to their initial positions.

[0030] In other embodiments, the first telescopic member 12 and the second telescopic member 22 are both hydraulic telescopic pumps, wherein the output shaft of the hydraulic telescopic pump is fixedly connected to the first side plate 13 / the second side plate 23, and can also drive the first correction plate 11 and the second correction plate 21 to move horizontally synchronously relative to or in opposite directions through telescopic movement, so as to close and correct the workpiece 4 that reaches between the two correction plates.

[0031] In addition, the first calibration assembly includes a first mounting base 14 for mounting the first telescopic member 12. The first mounting base 14 includes a first mounting plate 141 and a second mounting plate 142 connected to each other. The two mounting plates are arranged vertically, wherein the first mounting plate 141 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 3, and the second mounting plate 142 is fixedly connected to the first telescopic member 12. In this embodiment, the second mounting plate 142 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the first cylinder by bolts.

[0032] Similarly, the second calibration assembly includes a second mounting base 24 for mounting the second telescopic member 22. The second mounting base 24 includes a third mounting plate and a fourth mounting plate connected to each other. The two mounting plates are arranged vertically, wherein the third mounting plate is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 3, and the fourth mounting plate is fixedly connected to the second telescopic member 22. In this embodiment, the fourth mounting plate is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the second cylinder by a bolt.

[0033] The use process of the closing correction mechanism disclosed in this embodiment is as follows:

[0034] When the workpieces 4 on the conveyor belt 3 reach between the first and second alignment plates 11 and 21, the first and second cylinders are activated, their telescopic ends extending. The two alignment plates move horizontally toward each other, bringing the scattered workpieces 4 on the conveyor belt 3 together. This straightens the workpieces 4 until they reach the stopper at the end of the conveyor belt 3, facilitating their placement and capture. Compared to manual alignment, this method saves labor and improves production efficiency.
