Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bearing manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to a raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production. Background Art

[0002] Bearings are components used to reduce friction and support loads during the movement of rotating mechanical parts. They are widely used in various machinery and industrial equipment to support both rotary and linear motion. The primary function of a bearing is to support rotating or sliding shafts, allowing them to move freely within a certain range while reducing friction and wear. Bearings typically consist of an inner ring and an outer ring, and therefore these rings also serve as the raw materials for bearing manufacturing.

[0003] In the prior art, bearing manufacturing typically involves a production line, with the initial process being the loading of the inner and outer rings. The inner and outer rings (raw materials) are fed onto the production line via a loading device. However, the loading structure typically incorporates an inclined storage rack, in which the inner or outer ring is rolled and placed. The inner or outer ring is then fed into the production line one by one along a transition rack. This is illustrated in patent number CN202223379506.7, entitled "A Loading Device for Bearing Ring Production." However, the storage rack cannot be very long, so the amount of raw materials it can store is limited. Workers are required to continuously add raw materials to the rack, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in high labor costs and poor practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiment of the utility model provides a raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production, aiming to solve the problem of poor practicality of the raw material feeding method adopted in the existing bearing production.

[0013] In a possible implementation, in the first rodless cylinder, the height of the top end surface of the fixing plate is higher than the height of the linear transmission portion.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the storage structure includes:

[0015] a material storage rack connected to the bracket, with its top end corresponding to the top end surface of the fixing plate, the material storage rack having a plurality of guide grooves spaced apart along the first direction, each of the guide grooves being inclined;

[0016] A supporting plate is slidably arranged on the material storage rack and is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide groove. The supporting plate and each guide groove enclose the material storage portion;

[0017] The first rodless cylinder is fixed on the material storage rack, and the slider portion of the first rodless cylinder is connected to the material supporting plate to drive the material supporting plate to move along the length direction of the guide groove.

[0025] The telescopic structure is fixed on the slider portion of the second rodless cylinder and is connected to the push plate.

[0026] In this implementation, the linear conveyor section of the conveyor structure ensures that inner or outer rings are delivered to the bearing production line, ensuring bearing production.

[0034] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , the raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production provided by the utility model is now described. The raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production includes a conveying structure 10, a storage structure 20 and a material diverting structure 30. A straight conveying part capable of conveying raw materials is provided at the top of the conveying structure 10. The conveying direction of the straight conveying part is set as the first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction is set as the second direction. The storage structure 20 is located on one side of the conveying structure 10 along the second direction. The storage structure 20 has a storage part for stacking inner rings or outer rings and can be raised and lowered. The material diverting structure 30 is arranged on the other side of the conveying structure 10 along the second direction, and has a material diverting part corresponding to the storage part. The material diverting structure 30 can drive the material diverting part to divert the inner ring or outer ring on the top layer of the storage part and pushed out of the storage part to the straight conveying part.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production provided in this embodiment has a linear conveying section on the conveying structure 10 that ensures that the inner ring or outer ring is fed to the bearing production line, ensuring bearing manufacturing. The material diverting structure 30 can push the raw materials stacked on the top layer of the storage section and extending from the storage section into the linear conveying section through the diverting section. The storage structure 20 is located on one side of the conveying structure 10, and the storage section it provides can ensure that multiple inner rings or outer rings are stacked in a spiral shape. This effectively ensures the amount of raw materials stored. At the same time, the space occupied by it is in the width direction, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff and reducing labor costs, and it is highly practical.

[0037] In some embodiments, the conveying structure 10 may be configured as follows: Figure 1 The structure shown. Figure 1 The conveying structure 10 includes a support 11, a belt conveyor 12, and a fixed plate 13. The belt conveyor 12 is horizontally arranged, and the top end surface of the belt conveyor 12 is a linear conveying portion. The fixed plate 13 is horizontally arranged on the support 11 and corresponds to the linear conveying portion.

[0038] The bracket 11 can ensure that the belt conveyor 12 is supported and fixed, and can also ensure the installation of the fixing plate 13. The fixing plate 13 can ensure that the storage structure 20 is connected with the linear conveyor, so that the raw materials stacked on the top layer of the storage part and extending out of the storage part can be pushed onto the linear conveyor.

[0039] Regarding the belt conveyor 12, it can include a plurality of parallel and spaced pulleys 121, a conveyor belt 122 annularly wound around the outer periphery of each pulley 121, and a driver 123; each pulley 121 is rotatably set on the bracket 11. This structure of the belt conveyor 12 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 13 may be formed as follows: Figure 3The structure shown. Figure 3 The height of the top end surface of the fixed plate 13 is higher than the height of the linear transmission part. This structure can avoid jamming during the translation of the inner ring or outer ring.

[0041] In some embodiments, the storage structure 20 may be configured as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 3 The structure shown. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage structure 20 includes a storage rack 21, a supporting plate 22 and a first rodless cylinder 23. The storage rack 21 is connected to the bracket 11, and the top end corresponds to the top end surface of the fixed plate 13. The storage rack 21 has a plurality of guide grooves 24 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each guide groove 24 is arranged at an angle. The supporting plate 22 is slidably set on the storage rack 21 and is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide groove 24. The supporting plate 22 and each guide groove 24 enclose a storage portion. The first rodless cylinder 23 is fixed on the storage rack 21, and the slider portion of the first rodless cylinder 23 is connected to the supporting plate 22 to drive the supporting plate 22 to move along the length direction of the guide groove 24.

[0042] The top of the storage rack 21 corresponds to the top end surface of the fixed plate 13, ensuring that the inner or outer rings stacked on the supporting plate 22 can be moved onto the fixed plate 13 after being pushed out of the storage section, and then enter the guide groove 24 on the storage rack 21 on the linear conveyor section. This structure ensures the stability of the inner or outer rings stacked on the supporting plate 22, preventing them from falling out of the guide groove 24, thereby ensuring the loading effect. The supporting plate 22 is driven by the first rodless cylinder 23, which is easy to control and can also ensure the stability of loading.

[0043] It should be noted that there may be two first rodless cylinders 23, which are spaced apart along the first direction. Specifically, a long opening may be provided at the bottom end of each guide groove 24, and the connecting portion provided on the supporting plate 22 is connected to the first rodless cylinder 23 after passing through the long opening.

[0044] In some embodiments, the storage rack 21 may be configured as follows: Figure 2 The structure shown. Figure 2 The top end of the guide groove 24 is close to the bracket 11 , and the bottom end of the guide groove 24 is away from the bracket 11 . This structure can ensure the stability of the stacked inner and outer rings and prevent them from leaving the guide groove 24 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the supporting plate 22 may be formed as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2The supporting plate 22 has multiple extension ends that extend into each guide groove 24 respectively. The extension ends can ensure that the cross section of the guide groove 24 is covered to prevent the inner or outer ring from falling, while ensuring the contact area with the underlying raw materials, thereby ensuring the stability of the stacked raw materials.

[0046] In some embodiments, the storage structure 20 may be configured as follows: Figure 1 The structure shown. Figure 1 There are at least two material storage structures 20, and each material storage structure 20 is arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0047] This structure can ensure that after the raw materials in one storage structure 20 are loaded, another storage structure 20 is used, and manual loading is performed again on the previous storage structure 20. This structure can ensure the continuity of loading, thereby ensuring the loading effect.

[0048] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned material-selecting structure 30 can be used as follows: Figure 1 The structure shown. Figure 1 The material shifting structure 30 includes a second rodless cylinder 31, a fixed cylinder 32, a push plate 33 and a telescopic structure 34. The second rodless cylinder 31 is arranged along the first direction. There are two fixed cylinders 32, and the two fixed cylinders 32 are arranged on the slider portion in the second rodless cylinder 31 at intervals along the first direction, and the fixed cylinder 32 is inclined along the second direction. The push plate 33 is located above each material storage structure 20, and the bottom end of the push plate 33 has a shifting end 35 corresponding to the material storage portion. Two guide rods 36 are provided on the push plate 33, and the two guide rods 36 are respectively slidably connected to the two fixed cylinders 32. The telescopic structure 34 is fixed on the slider portion in the second rodless cylinder 31 and is connected to the push plate 33.

[0049] The second rodless cylinder 31 ensures that the fixed cylinder 32 and the telescopic structure 34 can move in the first direction, thereby driving the push plate 33 to move in the first direction, respectively corresponding to the two storage structures 20, to ensure the continuity of the loading process. The two fixed cylinders 32 guide and limit the guide rod 36 on the push plate 33, and the telescopic structure 34 drives the push plate 33, ensuring that the moving end 35 on the push plate 33 moves the raw materials.

[0050] The fixed cylinder 32 and the telescopic structure 34 are both arranged tilted to ensure that they adapt to the guide groove 24 and avoid interference between the push plate 33 and the fixed plate 13 .

[0051] As a specific embodiment of the raw material feeding mechanism for bearing production provided by the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 During use, there are two raw material feeding mechanisms for bearing production. The two raw material feeding mechanisms for bearing production are arranged in parallel, one of which can feed the inner ring and the other can feed the outer ring.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
