Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drive shaft feeding, in particular to a manual feeding device for a drive shaft. Background Art

[0002] As one of the important parts of an automobile, the drive shaft has high requirements on the production rhythm of the drive shaft, and the production equipment occupies a large area. Therefore, the current drive shaft production line has the characteristics of improving production efficiency and saving resources as the mainstream development trend. In the existing drive shaft production line, the semi-finished drive shaft is manually loaded onto the two support blocks of the assembly table. One of the support blocks is made into a "V" shape to support the shaft rod, and the other support block is made into a semi-spherical shape to support the outer ring of the drive shaft by imitation. The drive shaft semi-finished product is then grabbed by a robot and placed on the conveyor line. Based on the above existing technologies, it can be seen that two steps are required to complete the loading of the drive shaft onto the line: 1. Manual loading to the assembly table for positioning, 2. Robotic gripping to the conveyor line. Although manual loading instead of robot loading saves material costs, the additional addition of a robot inside the line reduces production efficiency and also increases the size of the equipment. Based on the above problems, we propose a manual loading device for drive shafts. Utility Model Content

[0023] A chip reading and writing mechanism 9 and a tray locking mechanism 5 are provided above the V-shaped support mechanism 7. The chip reading and writing mechanism 9 is located on the front side of the tray locking mechanism 5. The tray locking mechanism 5 is located directly above the clamping claw on the tray 4.

The control principle is the existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The utility model can complete the automatic positioning and loading work after manually placing the drive shaft directly on the V-shaped support mechanism 7 through a series of structural settings. There is no need for manual assembly and positioning and the addition of a robot, and the operating rhythm of the entire device is faster, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the total volume of the entire device is small, the site occupancy area is small, and it is convenient for personnel to use.

[0025] Working Principle: When in use, one person first places one end of the semi-finished drive shaft to be processed on the servo support mechanism 6 and the other end on the V-shaped support mechanism 7. Then, the starting device 10 is manually pressed to start the driving components of the entire device. First, the third electric telescopic rod 801 on the positioning device 8 drives the positioning assembly 802 to move left, pushing the drive shaft to the left. When the left end of the drive shaft presses against the left inner wall of the servo support mechanism 6, the third electric telescopic rod 801 closes, realizing the axial positioning function of the drive shaft.

[0026] Then the vertical electric slide rail 201 on the hoist 2 drives the connecting plate 203 to move upward through the two sliding ends 202. After the connecting plate 203 drives the tray 4 and the lifting mechanism 3 to move from the lower limit to the upper limit, the lifting mechanism 3 pushes the tray 4 and the clamping claws on the tray 4 to move upward. When the clamping claws of the tray 4 are aligned with the center position of the drive shaft, the lifting mechanism 3 is stopped. Then the first electric telescopic rod 14 drives the tray locking mechanism 5 to move from the upper limit to the lower limit. The tray locking mechanism 5 moves downward and locks the clamping claws on the tray 4, so that the clamping claws of the tray 4 tightly grasp the shaft rod of the drive shaft. At the same time, the chip reading and writing mechanism 9 is driven from the upper limit to the lower limit through the second electric telescopic rod 12. The chip reading and writing mechanism 9 drives the two guide rods 15 to move downward. When the chip reading and writing mechanism 9 moves down to the required position, it automatically reads the chip on the drive shaft.

[0027] After reading, the first electric telescopic rod 14 and the second electric telescopic rod 12 are started in reverse, so that the tray locking mechanism 5 and the chip reading and writing mechanism 9 are both transformed to move from the lower limit to the upper limit, and then the horizontal electric slide 13 on the servo support mechanism 6 drives the support assembly to move to the left and separate from the drive shaft. At the same time, the third electric telescopic rod 801 drives the positioning assembly 802 to the right and separates from the drive shaft, the V-shaped support mechanism 7 descends and separates from the drive shaft, the elevator 2 moves down, and the pallet 4 is separated from the elevator 2. At this time, the pallet 4 can flow out of this work station, and the drive shaft is directly placed on the V-shaped support mechanism 7 manually to complete the automatic positioning and loading work. There is no need for manual assembly and positioning and the addition of a robot separately, and the operation rhythm of the entire device is faster, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the total volume of the entire device is small, and the site occupancy area is small.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
