Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, and more specifically to a filter feeding device for casting an aluminum alloy wheel hub. Background Art

[0002] In the aluminum alloy wheel casting process, the current mainstream practice typically relies on manual operation to manage the casting equipment, particularly the critical process of loading the filter screen. Specifically, under the current production model, a single worker is responsible for monitoring and operating two casting machines simultaneously. During each casting cycle, the filter screens gradually clog after filtering impurities from the molten metal, affecting casting quality. Therefore, the filter screens in the hopper must be replaced promptly. This task requires workers to frequently shuttle between the two casting tables to load the filter screens. While this method can meet production needs to a certain extent, its drawbacks and shortcomings are obvious: the harsh casting environment, splashing molten aluminum, hot wheels, and noisy machine noise pose a threat to worker safety. Frequent movement between the two machines increases the risk of injury. Manually loading the filter screens is time-consuming and requires workers to wait for the right moment, reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a filter feeding device for casting an aluminum alloy wheel hub includes a frame 1, a support plate 2 is provided on the upper part of the frame 1, a conveying mechanism 3 is provided at a position below the support plate 2 in the frame 1, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a mounting seat 14, a barrel 16 is provided on the side of the mounting seat 14, a driving motor 15 and a screw rod 17 are provided on the mounting seat 14, the screw rod 17 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 14, the driving motor 15 is driven and connected to a driving wheel 21, the screw rod 17 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 22, a transmission belt 23 is connected between the driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22, the driving wheel 21, the driven wheel 22 and the transmission belt 23 are all located in the mounting seat 14, a screw slider 18 is provided on the screw slider 18, a filter base 20 is installed on the screw slider 18, an opening 19 is opened on the side of the barrel 16 facing the screw rod 17, and a part of the filter base 20 extends into the barrel 16 through the opening 19. The drive motor 15 rotates the screw 17 through the cooperation of the driving wheel 21, the transmission belt 23, and the driven wheel 22. The rotation of the screw 17 drives the screw slider 18 to move upward, thereby driving the filter base 20 to rise within the barrel 16. The filter base 20 has multiple stacked filter screens placed on it. After the filter screen on the filter base 20 is grabbed from above the barrel 16, the upward movement of the filter base 20 can drive the filter screen to rise, so that the top filter screen reaches the grabbing position.

[0021] like Figure 5 As shown, a slide module 4 is provided on the upper part of the support plate 2, and a moving block 5 is provided on the slide module 4. The slide module 4 can drive the moving block 5 to move left and right. A lifting mechanism 1 24 and a lifting mechanism 2 27 are installed on the front side of the moving block 5. The lifting mechanism 1 24 and the lifting mechanism 2 27 are respectively driven and connected to a needle cylinder 26 and a forming cone 28. The needle cylinder 26 is driven and connected to two clamps 25. The slide module 4 drives the moving block 5 to move, so that the needle cylinder 26 reaches above the barrel 16. The lifting mechanism 1 24 drives the needle cylinder 26 to descend, so that the clamps 25 contact the filter screen. The needle cylinder 26 drives the two clamps 25 to move closer, so that the two clamps 25 clamp the filter screen. The lifting mechanism 1 24 then drives the needle cylinder 26 to rise, thereby taking the filter screen out of the barrel 16.

[0022] The lifting mechanism 1 24 and the lifting mechanism 2 27 are both cylinders.

[0023] The support plate 2 is connected to a support frame 6, on which an inspection camera 7 is mounted. A collection bucket 29 is located below the support plate 2 within the frame 1. The slide module 4 drives the moving block 5, bringing the captured filter closer to the inspection camera 7. The inspection camera 7 then photographs the captured filter to verify its conformity. Retrieving a single filter satisfies the requirements, while retrieving no filter or multiple filters does not. If the requirements are not met, the needle cylinder 26 drives the two clamping jaws 25 apart, releasing them and allowing the captured filter to fall into the collection bucket 29 below, allowing re-capture.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, two mounting blocks 9 are connected to the support frame 6, and the inspection camera 7 is mounted between the two mounting blocks 9. A rotating shaft 12 is connected to the mounting blocks 9, and the inspection camera 7 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 12. The mounting blocks 9 have an arc-shaped hole 10, and a fixing bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inspection camera 7. The fixing bolt 11 passes through the arc-shaped hole 10 and is screwed into the inspection camera 7. The arc-shaped hole 10 is centered on the axis of the rotating shaft 12, allowing the fixing bolt 11 to move along the arc-shaped hole 10 when the inspection camera 7 rotates. This structural arrangement allows the installation angle of the inspection camera 7 to be adjusted, allowing for better imaging of the captured filter for inspection.

[0025] A light source 13 is provided on the support plate 2 at a position on the side of the detection camera 7. The light source 13 is located on the side of the detection camera 7 away from the moving block 5. The light source 13 provides illumination so that the detection camera 7 can take better pictures.

[0026] The robot brings the receiving hopper to the predetermined position. A detection camera 2 8 is installed on the side of the support plate 2 opposite the support frame 6. The detection camera 2 8 takes a picture of the interior of the receiving hopper to detect whether there are any debris in the receiving hopper. If there are debris, it needs to be cleaned. If there are no debris, the next step is carried out. The slide module 4 drives the moving block 5 to move, so that the needle cylinder 26 reaches the top of the receiving hopper. The lifting mechanism 1 24 controls the needle cylinder 26 to descend, and the needle cylinder 26 then controls the clamp 25 to loosen, placing the filter screen at the approximate position in the receiving hopper. The lifting mechanism 1 24 controls the needle cylinder 26 to rise.

[0027] Then move the moving block 5 to make the forming cone 28 reach the top of the material receiving hopper, and the lifting mechanism 27 controls the forming cone 28 to descend, and push the forming cone 28 into the material receiving hopper. The filter screen is pressed by the forming cone 28 to form the filter screen, and the filter screen can fit the inner wall of the material receiving hopper.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
