Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for producing springs, in particular to a device for collecting blanks for producing springs. Background Art

[0002] Spring machines are mechanical equipment used to produce springs. They are categorized by their functional characteristics into compression spring machines, extension spring machines, universal spring machines, disc spring machines, and specialized spring machines. Currently, after springs are produced on a spring coiling machine, they fall directly below the coiling machine's outlet, where they are then collected by workers using bags or storage baskets. The springs in the storage device are stacked in disorder, requiring subsequent post-processing to re-sort them. This increases the number of steps required in spring production and impacts production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model provides a falling material collecting device for spring production, which solves the problem in the prior art that springs are in a disorderly stacking state after falling from the production equipment.

[0004] The above technical problems of the present invention are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: a blanking collection device for spring production, comprising a blanking hopper for collecting springs blanked for production;

[0005] Guide grooves are distributed front and back and are provided on the lower side of the hopper, wherein the width of the guide grooves is gradually narrowed from top to bottom;

[0006] The baffle plate is provided with two pieces and is distributed on the front and rear sides of the guide groove;

[0007] An ejection groove is provided below the guide groove and is through-set at both ends. The length direction of the ejection groove is distributed front to back. The width of the ejection groove is adapted to the spring.

[0008] The ejection mechanism includes an ejection block and a reciprocating ejection assembly, wherein the reciprocating ejection assembly can drive the ejection block to reciprocate along the length direction of the ejection slot;

[0009] A collecting frame is provided with a plurality of insertion slots distributed in a matrix, wherein the inner cavity size of the insertion slots is adapted to the spring;

[0010] The translation assembly includes a translation platform and a cross slide assembly. The collection frame is fixed on the translation platform so that the length direction of the insertion slot is parallel to the length direction of the ejection slot.

[0011] The utility model is installed in the blanking area of ​​the spring production equipment. The blanking hopper can catch the fallen springs, and these springs can roll down the blanking hopper into the guide groove. The springs slide down into the ejection groove under the constraint of the guide groove. At this time, the springs are in a flat state along the ejection groove. Then the ejection mechanism can eject the springs from the ejection groove and send them into the insertion groove of the collection frame. The translation component can adjust the position of the collection frame. Whenever an insertion groove is filled with springs, the collection frame can be moved so that the empty insertion groove is opposite the ejection groove. When the collection frame is completely filled, the collection frame can be manually or automatically unloaded and replaced with another empty collection frame. In this way, the utility model can achieve the effect of automatically collecting springs, and the springs are in an orderly stacked state, which is convenient for subsequent post-processing procedures.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention includes a metal sensor. A cavity for mounting the metal sensor is provided on the wall of the ejection slot, and the metal sensor's detection head is positioned facing the ejection slot. The metal sensor can detect the presence of metal within the ejection slot and is used to detect whether a spring has fallen into the ejection slot. Upon detecting a spring fall, the metal sensor transmits a signal to a PLC controller, which controls the ejection mechanism to perform an ejection action. After the ejection mechanism completes its set of actions, the PLC controller controls the movement of the translation assembly to switch the insertion slot facing the ejection slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the reciprocating ejection component is any one of a cylinder and a crank connecting rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the side walls of the collection frame are provided with plug-in ridges, and the translation platform comprises a horizontal bottom plate and two vertical clamping plates, the inner walls of which are provided with vertical grooves that plug into the plug-in ridges. This allows the collection frame and the translation platform to be quickly installed or removed by plugging them up and down, thus achieving a quick-release effect and facilitating replacement of the collection frame.

[0015] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics: 1. The present invention is installed in the blanking area of ​​the spring production equipment, and the blanking hopper can catch the fallen springs. The springs can roll along the blanking hopper into the guide groove, and then the ejection mechanism can eject the springs from the ejection groove and send them into the insertion groove of the collection frame. The translation assembly can adjust the position of the collection frame so that the empty insertion groove is opposite to the ejection groove. In this way, the present invention can achieve the effect of automatically collecting springs, and the springs are in an orderly stacked state, which is convenient for subsequent post-processing procedures.

The collection frame is fixed on the translation table so that the length direction of the insertion slot is parallel to the length direction of the ejection slot.

[0029] This embodiment is installed in the blanking area of ​​the spring production equipment. The blanking hopper can catch the fallen springs, which can roll down the blanking hopper into the guide groove. The springs slide down into the ejection groove under the constraint of the guide groove. At this time, the springs are in a flat state along the ejection groove. Then the ejection mechanism can eject the springs from the ejection groove and send them into the insertion groove of the collection frame. The translation component can adjust the position of the collection frame. Whenever an insertion groove is filled with springs, the collection frame can be moved so that the empty insertion groove is opposite the ejection groove.

The metal sensor's detection head is positioned directly opposite the ejection slot. The metal sensor can detect the presence of metal objects within the ejection slot and is used to detect whether a spring has fallen into the ejection slot. Upon detecting a spring fall, the metal sensor transmits a signal to a PLC controller, which controls the ejection mechanism to perform an ejection operation. After the ejection mechanism completes its operation, the PLC controller controls the movement of the translation assembly to switch the insertion slot to the one facing the ejection slot.
