Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rear axle transfer equipment, in particular to a transfer device used for rear axle processing. Background Art

[0002] The rear axle is the rear driveshaft component of a vehicle's power transmission. It consists of two half-axles, enabling half-bridge differential motion. It also supports and connects the rear wheels.

[0003] With the improvement of automation level, the processing of rear axles now does not require direct human intervention. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of personnel, fences and safety gratings are set up at the edge of the working area, and personnel are not allowed to enter during the operation. As a result, the feeding of rear axle raw materials becomes a problem. The method of transportation is to shut down the rear axle processing station, and then uniformly transport the rear axle raw materials into the working area inside the enclosure. This method is bulky and has low work efficiency. The existing method is to use a transmission mechanism, such as a conveyor belt, to transfer the raw materials from the non-working area outside the enclosure to the working area inside the enclosure, and then use a robot to grab the raw materials.

[0004] However, the existing working process of this method is that personnel or external robots place the rear axle raw materials on a dedicated mold on the conveyor belt outside the enclosure. The conveyor belt transports the raw materials into the working area inside the enclosure, where the internal robot grabs the raw materials and unloads them. The mold on the conveyor belt is then transported back to the outside of the enclosure, where personnel or external robots reload the materials, and the process repeats. Although this method is more efficient than the traditional method, it can only transport one rear axle raw material at a time, and loading and unloading cannot be carried out simultaneously. During the process of the conveyor belt driving the mold back and forth, the internal robot and personnel or external robot need to wait, and the work is not consistent. Therefore, work efficiency needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a transfer device for rear axle processing, in which a horizontal disc is arranged at the transport port of the enclosure, and four molds are arranged in a ring matrix on the disc.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a transfer device for rear axle processing includes an enclosure 3, a disc 5, a limiter and four molds 9. A transport port 4 is provided on the enclosure 3. The disc 5 is horizontally arranged at the center of the transport port 4 with half of it inside the enclosure 3 and the other half outside the enclosure 3. The side surface of the disc 5 is movably connected to the left and right end surfaces of the transport port 4 through a limiter. A motor 1 is provided at the bottom center of the transport port 4. The output end of the motor 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the disc 5. The motor 1 can drive the disc 5 to rotate 90 degrees each time. Four molds 9 are arranged in a matrix on the disc 5. A monitoring component is provided at the top center of the transport port 4 for monitoring the loading and unloading of rear axle raw materials on the mold 9; the monitoring component is provided at the top center of the transport port 4. The component includes a pair of proximity sensors 11 and a mounting bracket 10, and the mounting bracket 10 is fixedly set at the top center position of the transport port 4. A pair of proximity sensors 11 are set on the mounting bracket 10 and correspond to the height of the rear axle raw material on the mold 9. The pair of proximity sensors 11 respectively monitor the unloading of the rear axle raw material inside the enclosure 3 and the loading of the rear axle raw material outside the enclosure 3; the limiting part includes multiple fixed rods 8, a limiting ring 7 and a limiting seat 6, and the limiting ring 7 is set on the side surface of the disc 5 through multiple fixed rods 8, and the limiting seat 6 is set at the center position of the left and right end faces of the transport port 4, and the limiting ring 7 is slidably connected to the limiting seat 6; an alarm 12 is set at the top of the transport port 4; the motor 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transport port 4 through the mounting seat 2.

[0019] The detailed connection means are well known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, which are as follows:

[0020] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-2It can be seen that the disc 5 in the present invention is designed horizontally and is located at the center of the transport port 4 of the enclosure 3. Half of it is inside the enclosure 3, that is, the working area, and the other half is outside the enclosure 3, that is, the non-working area. Four molds 9 are arranged in a matrix on the disc 5, so there are molds 9 both outside and inside the enclosure 3. At this time, the external robot loads the mold 9, and the internal robot grabs and unloads it. Loading and unloading are carried out simultaneously, which reduces waiting time and improves work efficiency. During operation, the motor 1 drives the disc 5 to rotate, rotating 90 degrees each time, loading the material outside and unloading the material inside. The motor 1 here uses a stepper motor 1, and a reducer is installed to connect it to the disc 5. The connection method is the existing technology. The limiter ensures the stability of the rotation of the disc 5. The monitoring component at the top of the transport port 4 is used to monitor the loading and unloading of the rear axle raw materials on the mold 9, and transmits signals to control the operation of the motor 1 through the external controller, thereby improving the continuity of work.

[0021] Among them, the monitoring component includes a pair of proximity sensors 11 and a mounting frame 10. The mounting frame 10 is fixedly set at the center position of the top of the transport port 4. The pair of proximity sensors 11 are set on the mounting frame 10 and correspond to the height of the rear axle raw material on the mold 9. The pair of proximity sensors 11 respectively monitor the unloading of the rear axle raw material inside the enclosure 3 and the loading of the rear axle raw material outside the enclosure 3. Specifically, here the proximity sensor 11 detects that the rear axle raw material is placed on the mold 9 outside the enclosure 3 and the rear axle raw material is taken away from the mold 9 outside the enclosure 3, then transmits a signal to let the external controller control the motor 1 to work. An alarm 12 is set at the top of the transport port 4. If the proximity sensor 11 detects that the material has not been loaded or taken away for a long time, it will alarm and remind personnel to deal with it.

[0022] The limiting member includes multiple fixing rods 8, a limiting ring 7, and a limiting seat 6. The limiting ring 7 is arranged on the side surface of the disc 5 through multiple fixing rods 8. The limiting seat 6 is arranged at the center of the left and right end surfaces of the transport port 4. The limiting ring 7 is slidably connected to the limiting seat 6 to support the disc 5 and ensure the stability of its rotation.

[0023] The motor 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transport port 4 via the mounting base 2 to ensure the stability of the motor 1 .

[0024] 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.
