Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wheel spoke processing, in particular to a wheel spoke skeleton iron piece feeding device. Background Art

[0002] The spokes are the supporting structure of the wheel hub. Specifically, the hub structure mainly includes the rim, spokes, and offset. The spokes are the structure that securely connects the rim and offset. Therefore, the structural stability of the spokes is key to the stability of the hub.

[0003] After the spokes are cast to form the spoke skeleton blank, a form-fitting iron part is die-cast onto the outer ends of the spoke skeleton. This iron part is used to form the outer edges of the spoke skeleton. However, due to the small size and high degree of irregularity of the iron part, loading the iron part during the production process is difficult.

[0004] Specifically, during the production process, a certain number of iron parts need to be loaded and grabbed onto the mold of the die-casting lathe, and the number of iron parts on the mold needs to be kept accurate to facilitate subsequent die-casting onto the spokes.

[0005] However, due to the small size and high degree of irregularity of the iron parts, the current loading method can only be through manual loading and placing them on the mold. Obviously, due to the small size and high degree of irregularity of the iron parts, it is difficult to place them in the first place. Specifically, the posture of the iron parts needs to be kept correct, and during the production process, the small size of the iron parts makes it difficult to pick up.

[0006] Therefore, it is obvious that based on the particularity of iron parts, the current manual loading method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to correct the posture of the iron parts, and it is simply unable to cooperate with the mass production production line. Therefore, when loading is difficult, it is a key factor that causes the production efficiency of the entire production line to be too low. Utility Model Content

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-6As shown, a wheel spoke skeleton iron piece feeding device includes a workbench, on which is mounted a vibrating feeding mechanism 1 having the same structure as an existing vibrating feeding tray. The vibrating feeding mechanism includes a vibrating feeding tray 11 (similar in structure to the existing vibrating feeding tray 11, the vibrating feeding tray 11 is mounted with a vibrating structure, such as a vibrating motor, so that during the feeding process, the vibrating vibrating feeding tray 11 vibrates the vibrating iron piece B). A bracket is mounted on the bottom of the vibrating feeding tray 11, and the bracket is mounted on the workbench.

[0046] Specifically, the discharge end of the vibrating loading tray 11 is fixedly connected to a loading track 111 ; the iron pieces B in the vibrating state are lined up along the loading track 111 for loading.

[0047] The vibration feeding mechanism 1 further includes a grabbing mechanism 12 ; the grabbing mechanism 12 is used to grab the iron pieces B lined up on the feeding track 111 .

[0048] Specifically, the material grabbing mechanism 12 includes a cylinder slide 121 (the bottom of the cylinder slide 121 is fixedly connected to a plurality of vertically arranged connecting columns 122, and the connecting columns 122 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench).

[0049] At the same time, a horizontal sliding cylinder 123 is slidably connected to the cylinder slide 121, and the piston rod of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 is fixed to the inner end of the cylinder slide 121. Specifically, the left and right ends of the cylinder slide 121 are respectively fixedly connected to the slide end seat 1232, and the piston rod 1231 of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 is fixedly connected to the left end seat 1232.

[0050] At the same time, in order to increase the sliding stability of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123, the above-mentioned 1232 are fixedly connected with sliding rails arranged at intervals up and down, and the cylinder barrel of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 must also be connected between the sliding rails.

[0051] During the working process, in the grabbing state, the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 is located at the left end of the cylinder slide 121, and grabs the material through the following clamping cylinder assembly. After the grabbing is completed, the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 pushes the piston rod. At this time, under the push of the piston rod, the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 slides to the right end position of the cylinder slide 121 and is ready to unload the grabbed iron piece B.

[0052] In order to achieve the grabbing of the iron piece B, a vertically arranged slide plate 125 is fixedly connected to the cylinder barrel of the above-mentioned horizontal sliding cylinder 123 (specifically: the inner side of the slide plate 125 is fixedly connected to a mounting pad, and the slide plate 125 is fixedly installed on the cylinder barrel of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123), and the upper end of the slide plate 125 is fixedly installed with a vertical cylinder 124 (specifically, the upper end of the slide plate 125 is fixedly connected to a cylinder barrel fixing seat for installing the vertical cylinder 124).

[0053] At the same time, the bottom of the piston rod of the vertical cylinder 124 is fixedly connected to a cylinder mounting base 126 that is slidably connected to a slide plate 125 (the piston rod of the vertical cylinder 124 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder mounting base 126). A clamping cylinder assembly 127 is mounted at the bottom of the cylinder mounting base 126. Specifically, a slide groove is defined in the slide plate 125, and the cylinder mounting base 126 is slidably connected to the slide groove (the inner side wall of the cylinder mounting base 126 is integrally formed with a sliding boss that slidably connects to the slide groove).

[0054] During operation, when the vertical cylinder 124 and the clamping cylinder assembly 127 follow the horizontal sliding cylinder 123 and are located on the left side of the cylinder slide 121, the iron piece B queued on the feeding track 111 is grabbed by the sliding clamping cylinder assembly 127. Specifically, under the drive of the vertical cylinder 124, the cylinder mounting seat 126 carries the clamping cylinder assembly 127 to descend and grab the iron piece B. After grabbing, the clamping cylinder assembly 127 is reset and slides to the right end of the cylinder slide 121 under the action of the horizontal sliding cylinder 123. Then, under the drive of the vertical cylinder 124 again, the clamping cylinder assembly 127 is lowered and the iron piece B is placed on the following feeding turntable mechanism.

[0055] Specifically, the clamping jaw cylinder assembly 127 includes a double-jaw cylinder 1271; specifically, the two piston rod clamps on the double-jaw cylinder 1271 are respectively fixed with a Z-shaped clamping jaw rod 1272 for clamping the iron piece B. Under the clamping of the clamping jaw rod 1272, the iron piece B is grasped and lowered.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, this embodiment further includes a feeding device for the spoke skeleton iron piece B, which cooperates with the gripping mechanism 12. The double-claw cylinder 1271 grips the iron piece B and places it on the feeding turntable mechanism 13. The feeding turntable mechanism 13 is installed on a workbench.

[0058] Specifically, the loading turntable mechanism 13 includes a bottom turntable 133 rotatably connected to the workbench. According to the existing conventional method, a motor that drives the bottom turntable 133 to rotate is installed in the workbench (the output shaft of the motor is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom turntable 133 and drives the bottom turntable 133 to rotate); the top of the bottom turntable 133 is fixedly connected to the loading tray 131 (the bottom of the loading tray 131 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom turntable 133 through several connecting columns 1331).

[0059] During operation, when the clamping cylinder assembly 127 lowers the iron piece B to place it on the loading turntable mechanism 13, one loading is completed. Then the clamping cylinder assembly 127 continues to grab the material in the above manner and continues to lower it onto the loading turntable mechanism 13. Before lowering, the bottom turntable 133 rotates to switch the unloading position.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 2, in order to discharge the iron pieces B, the top edge of the above-mentioned loading tray 131 is fixedly connected with a plurality of molds 132 for loading the iron pieces B.

[0062] Specifically, in order to achieve stable discharge of the iron piece B, the mold 132 is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the iron piece B. A limiting column 1321 is fixedly connected to the limiting groove and cooperates with the limiting iron piece B. When the iron piece B is loaded into the limiting groove, the limiting column passes through the hole structure of the iron piece B. That is, when the iron piece B is discharged into the limiting groove on the mold 132, the hole structure of the iron piece B (the hole structure of the iron piece B is the through-hole structure on the iron piece B) passes through the position of the limiting column 1321, and the iron piece B is kept sufficiently stable under the limitation of the limiting column 1321.

[0063] Example 4

[0064] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, in order to monitor whether the mold 132 is filled with iron pieces B, a laser sensor 128 is installed on the cylinder fixing seat in accordance with the existing conventional method. The laser sensor is a conventional sensor disclosed in the prior art for monitoring material loading, and is used to determine whether there are iron pieces B loaded on the mold 132.

[0065] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
