Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of insulating type heating block production devices, in particular to a feeding component for insulating type heating block production devices. Background Art

[0002] Insulated heating blocks mainly include PTC heating elements, which are also called PTC heaters. They are composed of PTC ceramic heating elements and aluminum tubes. This type of PTC heating element has the advantages of low thermal resistance and high heat exchange efficiency. It is an automatic constant temperature and energy-saving electric heater. The outstanding feature lies in its safety performance. Under any application conditions, it will not produce the "redness" phenomenon on the surface of electric heating tube heaters, which may cause burns, fire and other safety hazards. The PTC heating element includes a ceramic heating block and electrode sheets attached to the two end surfaces of the ceramic heating block. During the production process, the electrode sheets need to be attached to the ceramic sheets with adhesives. Currently, most of the production is done manually, which requires a lot of labor. For this reason, our company has developed an automated production device to solve this problem. During the production process, the electrode sheets need to be delivered to the tray through a loading component, and circulated through the conveying component and the tray at each workstation to realize automated production.

[0021] In the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0022] See Figure 1-4As shown, the present application discloses a loading assembly for an insulated heating block production device, comprising a conveying mechanism 10, a tray mechanism 20, a transfer mechanism 30, a positioning assembly 40, and an alignment assembly 50; specifically, the conveying mechanism 10 comprises a plurality of drive rollers 11 and a conveyor belt 12 wound around the drive rollers 11; in this embodiment, preferably, two conveying mechanisms 10 are symmetrically provided, with a set spacing between the two conveying mechanisms 10. A tray 60 is placed on the conveyor belt 12 of the conveying mechanism 10, and the tray 60 is driven to rotate in a directional manner by the friction with the conveyor belt 12. A plurality of electrode sheet placement areas are arranged side by side on the tray 60; the tray mechanism 20 comprises a tray 21 and a separator 22 arranged side by side on the tray 21, the separator 22 separates the tray 21 into electrode sheet receiving grooves arranged side by side, and the electrode sheets 70 are received in the electrode sheet receiving grooves. The transfer mechanism 30 transfers the electrode sheet 70 on the tray mechanism 20 to the electrode sheet placement area on the tray 60; the motor sheet 70 is stacked in the electrode sheet placement area, so each time the transfer mechanism 30 grabs the electrode sheet 70, the height of the topmost electrode sheet in the electrode sheet placement area on the tray mechanism 20 will be lowered. In order to enable the transfer mechanism 30 to reliably grab the electrode sheet 70 each time, the present embodiment preferably also includes a tray feeding assembly 23. Each time the transfer mechanism 30 grabs the electrode sheet 70 from the tray 21, the tray feeding assembly 23 drives the tray 21 to move up a set distance. Specifically, the tray feeding assembly 23 includes a servo motor 231, a screw-nut pair, and a push rod 232. The servo motor 231 is connected to the screw of the screw-nut pair, and the nut of the screw-nut pair is fixedly connected to the push rod 232. Therefore, the forward or reverse rotation of the servo motor drives the push rod 232 to push the tray 21 up and down. Then, each time the transfer mechanism 30 grabs an electrode sheet 70 from the tray 21, the tray feeding assembly 23 drives the tray 21 to move up a set distance; preferably, the set distance is equal to the thickness of the electrode sheet 70; and after all the electrode sheets 70 are grabbed, the entire tray 21 is driven down to the lowest position. The positioning assembly 40 positions the tray 60; the alignment assembly 50 is located at the rear end of the positioning assembly 40 and aligns the length of the electrode sheets 70 placed on each electrode sheet placement area. The transfer mechanism 30 includes a longitudinal linear reciprocating motion assembly 31 , a vertical reciprocating motion assembly 33 fixedly mounted at an output end of the longitudinal linear reciprocating motion assembly 31 , and a suction cup assembly 35 fixedly mounted at an output end of the vertical reciprocating motion assembly 33 .Among them, the longitudinal linear reciprocating motion component 31 includes a longitudinal drive servo motor 311 and a longitudinal drive screw nut pair 312, and of course also includes necessary guide rails 313 and supports. The adjustment seat 32 is fixed on the nut of the longitudinal drive screw nut pair 312. The vertical reciprocating motion component 33 includes a vertical motion cylinder, a vertical slide rail and a slider 34. The vertical motion cylinder drives the slider 34 to slide along the vertical slide rail. The suction cup assembly 35 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the slider 34. The vertical motion cylinder is installed on the adjustment seat 32. The screw disc assembly 35 includes multiple suction cups arranged side by side along the length direction of the electrode sheet placement area. By sucking the electrode sheet at the same time by multiple suction cups, the electrode sheet can be smoothly grasped. The longitudinal linear reciprocating motion assembly 31 drives the vertical reciprocating motion assembly 33 and the suction cup assembly 35 to switch between the tray 60 and the material tray 21. The vertical reciprocating motion assembly 33 drives the suction cup assembly 35 to move downward, grab the electrode sheet from the material tray 21, and then move upward, or place the electrode sheet on the tray and then move upward to the initial position, thereby transferring the electrode sheet 70 from the material tray to the tray. The electrode sheet is stored by the material tray mechanism, and the transfer mechanism transfers the motor on the material tray mechanism to the tray on the conveyor mechanism, which drives the tray along the entire production line.

[0023] The positioning assembly 40 includes a positioning cylinder 41 and a positioning column 411. The upper end surface of the positioning column 411 is lower than the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 10. When the conveying mechanism 10 drives the pallet 60 to move to a position close to the positioning column 411, the positioning cylinder 41 drives the positioning column 411 to move upward so that the upper end surface of the positioning column 411 is higher than the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 10, so as to block the pallet 60 located on the conveying mechanism 10, thereby aligning the pallet 60 and facilitating precise positioning of the pallet and the mechanism at the rear end.

[0024] The alignment assembly 50 includes an alignment cylinder 51 and a plurality of aligned alignment claws 521. The tray 60 has a plurality of grooves 60b formed at one end, corresponding to the electrode placement area, toward the alignment assembly 50. The alignment claws 521 correspond one-to-one with the grooves 60b. After the positioning assembly 40 positions the tray 60, the alignment assembly aligns the ends of the electrode sheets on the tray, ensuring that the rear heating element is precisely placed on the electrode sheet, thus avoiding product quality inconsistencies caused by inconsistent front-to-back electrode sheet positioning.

[0025] Furthermore, since the electrode sheet 70 is relatively thin and has a smooth surface, the electrode sheet placement area of ​​the tray 60 is also a smooth surface. When the electrode sheet 70 is placed in the electrode sheet placement area, it is easy for the air between the two to not be discharged in time. The compressed air will cause the electrode sheet 70 to be skewed, and in the process of the rear-end mechanism grabbing the electrode sheet 70, it will be adsorbed on the tray 60, resulting in difficulty in grabbing or failure to grab. On the tray 60, multiple through holes 61 are arranged in the electrode sheet placement area, and rapid exhaust and air intake are achieved through the through holes 61, thereby solving this problem.

[0026] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
