Description

Technical Field

[0002] After the chain components are assembled into a chain through equipment, manual inspection is required to check whether the chain is qualified. Unqualified ones need to be repaired with hammers and manual molds. Once the number is large, manual inspection is impossible, and it is easy to send unqualified products with missing pieces, unrivet heads and tight joints to customers. Before the chain is packaged and shipped, it needs to be soaked in lubricating oil, and then the chain is taken out and packaged and shipped. There are many problems with this chain soaking method. The first is that the chain soaking time and oil control time are very long. The second is that the amount of oil in the chain is uncontrollable. The third is that the chain in this way is static soaking, and the lubricating oil cannot enter the tight part inside the chain, reducing the service life of the chain. The fourth is that there will be a strong smell of oil smoke during the oil soaking and oil control process, which will pollute the environment. Utility Model Content

The V-shaped groove provided at the bottom of the rivet head block 14 is consistent with the indentation of the pin shaft riveted. The normally riveted pin shaft can pass smoothly through the bottom of the rivet head block 14. If an unriveted pin shaft passes by at this time, the rivet head block 14 will be lifted up. At this time, the value read by the grating ruler 15 will become larger, and the product will be unqualified.

The bottom is equipped with a positioning slider to position and align the chain and firmly fix it. During cutting and riveting, the upper cutting integrated die 19 is pressed down to cooperate with the lower cutting integrated die 20 to cut the chain for easy maintenance.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 A feed port is provided on one side of the oil tank 23, a discharge port is provided on one side of the oil tank 23, and a chain break sensor 29 is provided on the top of the second frame 21 near the feed port. A fan cooling bin 28 corresponds to the discharge port. The input end of the oil mist collector 27 is connected to the interior of the oil tank 23 through an absorption pipe. Several roller groups 24 are provided inside the oil tank 23 to facilitate chain conveying.

[0026] In this embodiment, the chain is wound around the roller group 24 inside the oil tank 23 and enters the bottom of the oil tank 23, where it is immersed in the lubricating oil. It is then connected to other roller groups 24 and wound above the oil surface. The hot air nozzle 26 is connected to an external hot air source. After the hot air nozzle 26 removes excess lubricating oil on the surface, the chain comes out from the discharge port and enters the fan cooling bin 28. A cooling fan is provided inside the fan cooling bin 28 to cool down the hot chain.

[0027] In specific use, the utility model is a plate chain online detection and online lubrication equipment. When the equipment starts to run, the plate chain to be detected passes through the chain assembly component 4, the pre-riveting detection component 3 and the chain riveting component 2 in turn and arrives at the detection and maintenance mechanism 1 for detection and maintenance. The chain passes through one side of the chain cylinder 9 and one side of the CCD detection camera 11 and then reels out through the driving sprocket 22 on the first frame 8. During the detection process, the chain cylinder 9 pushes out the chain slider 10, which can clamp the chain and limit it to keep the chain vertical, so that the subsequent CCD detection camera 11 can accurately detect it. When the CCD detection camera 11 detects When a dynamic chain is detected, the CCD detection camera 11 will take a picture. At this time, the backlight 12 will fill in the light of the chain on the back of the CCD detection camera 11, so that it can capture a clearer picture. The captured picture is compared with the template picture to determine whether it is qualified. If a missing piece or the wrong size of the chain is captured, it will be judged as unqualified. The qualified chain can continue to move and run, and the unqualified chain will stop moving and alarm through the external alarm device. At the same time, the computer display screen outside the device will display the picture of the unqualified part of the chain, which is convenient for the operator to mark and carry out the next maintenance process.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 The positioning cylinder 13 pushes out the rivet head block 14 and drives the grating ruler 15 to move and get stuck in the upper end of the chain pin. The V-shaped groove at the bottom of the rivet head block 14 is consistent with the indentation of the pin riveting. The pin that has been riveted normally can pass through the bottom of the rivet head block 14 smoothly. If a pin without a rivet head passes by, the rivet head block 14 will be lifted up. At this time, the value read by the grating ruler 15 will become larger and exceed the set upper limit value. The system will alarm and prompt the alarm "no rivet head". If the height of the pin is shorter than the set lower limit value, the system will alarm "short pin". The data can be measured and read in real time, and then the data is compared with the set value to determine the result, so as to detect defective products. The hydraulic cylinder 17 pushes the lifting plate 18 to realize the cutting and riveting of unqualified chains. The bottom is equipped with a positioning slider to align the chain and fix it firmly. When cutting and riveting, the upper cutting integrated die 19 presses down to cooperate with the lower cutting integrated die 20 to cut the chain for easy maintenance.

[0029] After being inspected by the inspection and maintenance mechanism 1, it is connected to the pre-tensioning inspection component 5 and then reaches the online lubricating oil mechanism 6 for oil treatment. When the chain passes through the broken chain sensor 29, it detects whether the signal chain is broken. Then it enters the interior through the feed port of the oil tank 23. The chain is wound around the roller group 24 inside the oil tank 23 and enters the bottom of the oil tank 23. It is immersed in the lubricating oil and then connected to other roller groups 24 and wound above the oil surface. The hot air nozzle 26 is connected to an external hot air source. After the hot air nozzle 26 removes excess lubricating oil on the surface, it comes out from the discharge port and enters the fan cooling bin 28. The fan cooling bin 28 is inside. A cooling fan is provided to cool down the hot chain, a lubricating oil heating pipe 25 is provided to heat the lubricating oil, and a temperature probe is provided inside the oil tank 23. By collecting the temperature and feeding it to an external control unit, the temperature of the grease can be effectively controlled. A cover is provided on the top of the oil tank 23. In addition, an oil mist collector 27 can absorb all the oil smoke on the surface of the oil tank 23, filter out the grease, and purify the air. The driving sprocket 22 is controlled by a servo motor. The speed of the motor can be controlled by parameters to adjust the time the chain is immersed in the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil can fully penetrate every part of the chain when the chain rolls in the lubricating oil.

[0030] Finally, the chain reaches the cutting mechanism 7, and the magnetic flux detection head 32 can detect whether the chain is missing a piece. The magnetic flux is only sensitive to metal and has no requirements for the oil on the chain surface. Therefore, when the oiled chain passes through the magnetic flux, the missing piece can also be detected. The pulse counter 33 counts the number of sections. When the count reaches the set number of sections, the cutting cylinder 34 descends to make the cutting needle 35 push out the pin of the chain, completing the chain cutting work.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
