Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic blanking equipment, in particular to a line conveying and setting material mechanism and blanking equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the precision parts manufacturing industry, Swiss-type lathe technology has been continuously improved and innovated to meet the market demand for high-efficiency, high-precision machining. Swiss-type lathes are widely used in the automotive industry and other precision parts manufacturing fields, such as machining high-precision, complex, slender shaft parts such as valve stems, valve cores, throttle shafts, reverse gear shafts, and worm gears. With the increasing degree of automation and market demand, Swiss-type lathes are suitable for the large-scale production of precision shaft parts. Equipped with automatic feeding devices, they achieve fully automated production on a single machine tool, reducing labor costs and product defects. However, there are very few suitable receiving devices for Swiss-type lathe worm gear machining. Most still discharge the material directly into the oil box to prevent dents on the worm gear teeth. This method not only slows down production efficiency but also causes irreversible damage to the product. To address this problem, while considering actual production costs, a linear feeder and unloading device was developed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a line conveying and metering mechanism and a blanking device to solve the problem of irreversible damage to products during the blanking process in the prior art, and to further solve the problem of low production efficiency.

[0005] A wire conveying assembly having a loading end and a unloading end in the direction of movement;

[0006] The material setting and pushing component is arranged on one side of the material discharge end, and includes a material receiving carrier, a material ejecting correction module and a pushing module;

[0007] Among them, the material receiving carrier includes at least a pair of material receiving parts arranged perpendicular to the movement direction of the line conveying assembly, and a receiving space for materials to fall into and be carried is formed between the pair of material receiving parts, and the upper and lower ends of the receiving space and at least one side edge are open; the material ejection correction module includes a material ejection plate, which is driven to pass through the opening at the lower end of the receiving space; the pushing module includes a material pushing plate, which is in the receiving space and is driven to move in the horizontal direction to push the material out from the open end of the side of the receiving space.

[0008] Preferably, the pair of material receiving members are constructed as a V-shaped structure with openings at the upper and lower ends, and the opening at the lower end is smaller than the outer diameter of the material.

[0009] Preferably, a baffle plate is fixed to one end portion of a pair of the material receiving members that is biased toward pushing out the material, and a discharge port for pushing out the material is provided on the baffle plate, and the discharge port makes the side edge of the accommodating space into an open shape.

[0010] Preferably, a material receiving box is provided on one side of the feeding end of the line conveying assembly, part of the material receiving box is located directly above the feeding end, and the lower end of the material receiving box directly above the feeding end is open for material to fall into the feeding end.

[0011] Preferably, a detection photoelectric and a stopper are installed on the side of one end of the linear conveying component that is inclined towards the lower material end, and the stopper is driven to extend and retract along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the linear conveying component.

[0012] A blanking device, comprising:

[0013] Line conveying and metering mechanism;

[0014] A material receiving slide is provided with a loading tray for arranging and placing materials;

[0015] A transport mechanism is used to transfer the material pushed out from the end of the line conveying and metering mechanism to the loading plate of the material receiving slide.

[0016] Preferably, the material receiving slide includes an upper slide and a lower slide at different heights; the upper slide and the lower slide are respectively installed on different guide rails, and are respectively driven by slide cylinders to realize movement along the guide rails, so that the upper slide and the lower slide are alternately close to the line conveying and material fixing mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the transport mechanism includes a clamp, a flip drive for driving the clamp to rotate, and a three-axis linear motion module for driving the clamp to move in a linear direction; the flip drive drives the clamp to switch between horizontal and vertical directions.

[0018] Preferably, the line conveying and metering mechanism, the material receiving slide and the transport mechanism are all installed on the oil receiving tray, and a grease reflux device is provided below the oil receiving tray.

[0019] Preferably, the linear conveying and metering mechanism and the material receiving slide are each provided with two groups, and the transport mechanism transfers the material output from the linear conveying and metering mechanism to the material receiving slide on the same side.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) A linear conveying and material-fixing mechanism is used to realize worm unloading, which can minimize the possibility of worm damage during the entire conveying process.

[0044] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0045] For ease of understanding, the application scenario of this application is first explained. In the process of machining worms with a Swiss-type lathe, the terminal process is the blanking of the worm. In traditional equipment, the worm is easily irreversibly damaged when it falls from the Swiss-type lathe into the blanking equipment, and the processing efficiency of the overall equipment is low. Therefore, the utility model has developed a blanking equipment for worms.

[0046] like Figure 1 The figure shows a material unloading device comprising a line conveying and metering mechanism 1, a receiving slide 2, and a transport mechanism 3. The line conveying and metering mechanism 1 receives the worm gear unloaded from the Swiss-type lathe, while the transport mechanism 3 transfers the worm gear at the output terminal of the line conveying and metering mechanism 1 to the receiving slide 2. The line conveying and metering mechanism 1, the receiving slide 2, and the transport mechanism 3 are all mounted on an oil receiving tray 4. A grease reflux device is provided below the oil receiving tray 4 to prevent splashing of processing oil and to facilitate oil recovery and reuse.

[0047] About the line conveying and metering mechanism 1:

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the wire conveying and metering mechanism 1 includes a wire conveying component 11 , a material receiving box 12 and a metering and pushing component 13 .

[0049] The linear conveying assembly 11 has a loading end and a unloading end in the direction of movement; specifically, the linear conveying assembly 11 adopts a combination of a motor, a synchronous wheel, and a synchronous belt; the upper end surface of the synchronous belt serves as the conveying surface for conveying materials (worm gear), and baffles 111 are provided on both sides of the synchronous belt along the direction of movement to prevent the worm gear on the synchronous belt from falling off during transmission.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, a receiving box 12 is provided on one side of the feeding end of the line conveyor assembly 11. Part of the receiving box 12 is located directly above the feeding end, and the lower end of the receiving box 12 directly above the feeding end is open for material to fall into the feeding end. In this embodiment, the receiving box 12 is used to receive the worm unloaded by the Swiss machine, and the material falls from the opening at the lower end of the receiving box 12 onto the synchronous belt.

[0051] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the material setting and pushing component 13 is arranged on one side of the unloading end, and includes a material receiving carrier, a material pushing correction module and a pushing module.

[0052] Specifically, the material receiving carrier includes at least a pair of material receiving parts 131 arranged perpendicular to the movement direction of the linear conveying component 11, and a receiving space is formed between the pair of material receiving parts 131 for the material to fall into and be carried. The upper and lower ends of the receiving space and at least one side edge are open.

[0053] In one embodiment, the material receiving carrier comprises a pair of receiving members 131, each secured by a fixing member. The receiving members 131 are constructed as a V-shaped structure with openings at both ends. The upper opening allows the worm to drop in, while the lower opening is smaller than the outer diameter of the material. Because the sides of the receiving members 131 are unobstructed, the opening is directly formed, allowing the worm to be subsequently ejected.

[0054] In another embodiment, combined Figure 4 As shown, the material receiving carrier includes a pair of material receiving parts 131 and a baffle plate 136 fixed to the side edges of the end portions of the pair of material receiving parts 131. The baffle plate 136 is provided with a discharge port 137 for pushing out the material. The discharge port 137 makes the side edge of the accommodating space open.

[0055] In other embodiments, a material baffle 136 may be provided at both ends of the material receiving carrier, and a material outlet 137 may be provided on one side of the material baffle 136 . In this case, the setting of the material baffle 136 may serve to fix the material receiving member 131 .

[0056] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the lifting material correction module includes a lifting material plate 132 and a lifting material correction cylinder 134 for driving the lifting material plate 132 to rise and fall. The lifting material plate 132 is driven by the lifting material correction cylinder 134 to penetrate the opening at the lower end of the accommodating space and lift the worm in the accommodating space. The main thing is that after the worm falls off the lifting material correction module, the direction of the worm is uncertain, and it may appear in a standing, leaning, or lying posture. The lifting material correction cylinder 134 continuously drives the lifting material plate 132 to lift and lower, so as to adjust the posture of the worm and ensure that the worm is in a lying state. The number of times the lifting of the lifting material correction cylinder 134 is set can be set.

[0057] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the pushing module includes a pushing plate 133 and a pushing cylinder 135. The pushing plate 133 is located in the accommodating space and is driven to move horizontally to push the worm out of the open end of the side of the accommodating space. The axis of the pushed worm is set in the horizontal direction.

[0058] A detection photoelectric sensor 14 and a stopper 15 are mounted on the side of the feeder assembly 11, which is located toward the feeder end. The stopper 15 is driven to extend and retract perpendicular to the direction of motion of the feeder assembly 11. When the worm passes the position of the detection photoelectric sensor 14, the stopper 15 is pushed out, preventing multiple worms from falling into the feeder correction module at the same time.

[0059] About receiving slide 2:

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, a loading tray 23 for arranging and placing materials is provided on the receiving slide 2. The loading tray 23 is positioned on the receiving slide 2 by a limit block. The end surface of the loading tray 23 has a number of arranged positioning pins for the worm to be inserted.

[0061] In this embodiment, a double slide is used for material collection, and the material collection slide 2 includes an upper slide 21 and a lower slide 22 at different heights; the upper slide 21 and the lower slide 22 are respectively installed on different guide rails, and are respectively driven by the slide cylinder 24 to realize movement along the guide rails, so that the upper slide 21 and the lower slide 22 alternately approach the line conveying and metering mechanism 1.

[0062] About transport mechanism 3:

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, the transport mechanism 3 includes a clamp 31, a flip drive 32 for driving the clamp 31 to rotate, and a three-axis linear motion module 33 for driving the clamp 31 to move in a linear direction; in this embodiment, the clamp 31 adopts a clamping cylinder. Since the worm is pushed out of the accommodating space in the horizontal direction and needs to be inserted into the carrier 23 in the vertical direction, the flip drive 32 drives the clamp 31 to achieve posture switching between the horizontal and vertical directions; the three-axis linear motion module 33 realizes movement in the X / Y / Z directions of three-dimensional space.

[0064] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, two groups of wire conveying and metering mechanisms 1 and receiving slides 2 are respectively provided. Since the wire conveying and metering mechanism 1 needs to cooperate with the unloading end of the Swiss-type lathe, wire conveying components 11 of different lengths can be used according to the actual application scenario; the conveying mechanism 3 transports the worm in the wire conveying and metering mechanism 1 to the receiving slide 2 on the same side. The worms are divided into machines and batches and are not mixed.

[0065] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0066] a. The worm unloaded from the Swiss-type machine falls into the receiving box 12 and slides onto the synchronous belt. Driven by the synchronous belt, it is transferred from the loading end to the unloading end and falls into the receiving carrier;

[0067] b. Since the direction of the worm in the receiving carrier is uncertain, the material correction cylinder 134 continuously drives the material lifting plate 132 to lift and lower, thereby adjusting the posture of the worm to ensure that the worm is in a flat position;

[0068] c. The push cylinder 135 drives the push plate 133 to be pushed out of the accommodating space. At this time, the worm is in a horizontal state. The clamp 31 waits at the position where the worm is pushed out. The push cylinder 135 pushes the worm onto the clamp 31, and the clamp 31 clamps the worm;

[0069] d. The three-axis linear motion module 33 moves with the clamped worm and is placed before the carrier 23. The clamp 31 becomes vertical and the worm is inserted into the positioning pin of the carrier 23. The carriers 23 are arranged in an equidistant array, and the worms are stacked and placed in sequence. The upper slide 21 and the lower slide 22 are controlled at the same time and switched alternately, so that the upper and lower slides will not appear on the same side. The carrier 23 after receiving the materials is manually taken away by the full tray and switched to an empty tray.

[0070] Based on the above-mentioned blanking process, during the blanking process, whether it is conveying and blanking or loading, the worms are completely independent and separated from each other, and there will be no collision, which ensures that the tooth top of the worm will not be bumped and damaged, reducing the defective rate.

[0071] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
