Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to fan blade component processing, and in particular relates to a fan blade component feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Fan blades are common components used in various applications. A fan blade assembly typically consists of a mounting cavity and blades mounted on the perimeter of the cavity, either assembled or integrally molded. During processing, the blades are transported to various locations for polishing, painting, and testing.

[0003] In the prior art, a conveyor line is used for conveying. In order to ensure that the fan assembly is placed stably, a positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on the conveyor line to perform positioning operations during the conveying process. Since the positioning operation position is not adjustable, when conveying fan blades of different lengths, especially longer fan blades, it is necessary to place them at intervals or adjust (lengthen) the conveyor line. The interval placement leads to a decrease in the conveying capacity of the same conveyor line, affecting production efficiency, while lengthening the conveyor line leads to increased costs and an increase in floor space. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the utility model provides a fan blade assembly feeding device, which supports and conveys the fan blade assembly at different heights, adapts to fan blades of different lengths, ensures the conveying capacity of the conveyor line, and can facilitate rapid unloading and loading, solving the problems in the background technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a fan blade assembly feeding device, including a conveying unit and a loading platform; the conveying unit includes a conveying belt, and a lifting support unit is provided on the conveying belt, and a predetermined distance is set between the lifting support units; the loading platform includes a loading mechanism for transferring the components on the conveying belt to the loading platform, and the loading mechanism is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting support unit includes a base fixed on the conveyor belt, and a predetermined gap is set between the bases; a lifting part fixed on the base; and a support part including a positioning column assembled at the lifting end of the lifting part, and the positioning column is set with a predetermined outer diameter.

[0007] Furthermore, the loading mechanism includes a lifting unit, which is arranged on one side of the conveying direction and located on the bottom plate of the loading platform; a rotating part, which is installed at the lifting end of the lifting unit; a horizontal telescopic part, which is connected to the rotating part; and a clamping part, which is connected to the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic part.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket of the conveying unit is provided with an infrared distance sensor near the loading platform, and the infrared distance sensor is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the control unit is provided with an information acquisition module, and the information acquisition module is used to acquire position information of components on the conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, positioning strips are provided on the peripheral wall of the positioning column, and the positioning strips are arranged in a ring-like manner.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping portion includes a clamping plate, an upper end surface of the clamping plate forms a support surface, and the support surface is U-shaped and concave at one end away from the horizontal telescopic portion to form a clamping groove.

[0012] After adopting the above structure, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] (1) Through the setting of the lifting support unit, the support part can be located at different supporting working heights to support and position the fan assembly during transportation, and can realize height staggered support. In the case of not adjusting the horizontal position of the supporting operation, especially for the fan blade assembly with longer blades, it can be staggered up and down on the conveyor belt during transportation without affecting the transportation volume and without adjusting the conveyor line, thereby ensuring the transportation efficiency.

[0014] (2) The adapted positioning column is adapted to the installation cavity of the fan blade assembly for positioning support, so that the loading unit can carry the fan blade assembly away from the positioning column, and can quickly transfer it from the conveyor line to the corresponding work station, thereby facilitating loading.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a fan blade assembly feeding device includes two parts: a conveying unit and a loading platform; wherein the conveying unit performs the conveying operation of the fan blades, and the loading unit is arranged on the side of the loading platform, and two groups of loading units can be arranged, which are respectively distributed on both sides of the conveying operation direction and located on both sides of the loading platform. In this embodiment, preferably, the loading mechanism includes a lifting unit, which is arranged on one side of the conveying direction and is located on the bottom plate of the loading platform; a rotating part, which is installed on the lifting end of the lifting unit; a horizontal telescopic part, which is connected to the rotating part; a clamping part, which is connected to the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic part; the control unit is electrically connected to the loading unit, and can control the lifting height, rotation angle and horizontal telescopic length of the loading unit to transfer the fan blade assembly located on the conveying unit to the loading platform. Specifically, the lifting unit can be a lifting column, which is connected to the hydraulic working system to perform corresponding lifting operations and adjust the clamping operation height; the rotating part includes a rotary drive, which provides a rotary driving force to the horizontal telescopic part to adjust the clamping position of the clamping part; the horizontal telescopic part can be a hydraulic telescopic rod, which is connected to the hydraulic working system to perform telescopic operations and adjust the working position of the clamping part. Here, preferably, the clamping part includes a clamping plate, the upper end surface of the clamping plate forms a support surface, and the support surface is U-shaped and concave at one end away from the horizontal telescopic part to form a clamping groove.

[0025] It should be noted that the control unit is provided with an information acquisition module, which is used to collect the position information of the components on the conveyor belt. Preferably, the bracket of the conveying unit is provided with an infrared ranging sensor near the loading platform. The infrared ranging sensor is electrically connected to the control unit to provide the position information of the fan assembly to the control unit. In addition, the control unit may also include a camera unit, and can process the collected image information to judge the position of the fan blade assembly when transferring the fan blade assembly.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Based on Example 1, the conveying unit includes a conveying belt, a lifting support unit is provided on the conveying belt, and a predetermined distance is set between the lifting support units; wherein the lifting support unit includes a base, which is fixed on the conveying belt, and a predetermined gap is set between the bases; a lifting part, which is fixed on the base; the support part, which includes a positioning column, which is assembled at the lifting end of the lifting part, and the positioning column is set with a predetermined outer diameter, and positioning strips are provided on the peripheral wall of the positioning column, and the positioning strips are arranged in a ring-shaped interval.

[0028] It should be noted that the telescopic end of the lifting part can be assembled with positioning columns of different outer diameters and can be replaced according to the different sizes of the fan blade assembly installation cavity, so that the installation cavity can be stably sleeved on the outside of the positioning column and can be relatively easily detached from the positioning column. When disengaging and unloading, the lifting unit lifts the clamping part to a suitable height, the rotating part adjusts the opening direction of the clamping groove of the clamping part, and the horizontal telescopic part adjusts the horizontal position of the clamping part to the bottom of the fan assembly. When telescoping, it is semi-enclosed on the outside of the fan assembly installation cavity, and the support surface is located below the fan blade. The fan assembly is lifted by the lifting unit to separate from the positioning column and transferred to the loading platform.

[0029] The specific usage is as follows: install the feeding device of the present application at a suitable conveying operation position; if the length of the fan blade assembly is greater than the distance between the bases, the height of the lifting part can be adjusted (the lifting part can be a damping telescopic rod that can be stretched to different lengths) so that the working position of the support part is staggered at different heights, which is convenient for supporting the fan blade assembly, realizing the support positioning of fan blade assemblies of different length specifications, and ensuring the conveying capacity of the conveying unit.

[0030] During loading, the control unit collects the position information of the fan blade assembly through information collection modules such as infrared ranging sensors and cameras, and promptly controls the lifting operation of the lifting unit, the rotation operation of the rotating part, and the telescopic operation of the horizontal telescopic rod to load the fan blade assembly from the conveying unit to the loading platform.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In short, if those skilled in the art are inspired by the present invention and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, design structures and embodiments similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
