Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of metal parts processing equipment, and in particular relates to a material sorting and unloading mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The current process for producing seat belt gears is as follows: first, the sheet metal is stamped and cut on a vertical punch press; then, it is phosphated and saponified; then, it is processed on a vertical three-station cold forging press; then, the forged parts are vibrated and cleaned; finally, two identical small gears are welded together and then electroplated.
[0003] In the subsequent welding process, workers place the two small gears, one positive and one negative, on a dedicated welding machine for welding. Each welding operation requires manual selection of the small gears and placement of the two gears in the correct positions, one positive and one negative. In order to ensure the quality of the safety belt gears after welding, it is also necessary to check whether the parameters and positions of the corresponding components are qualified before welding. After welding, the finished product needs to be removed. Currently, all of the above processes are carried out manually in sequence, which is time-consuming. The production efficiency and quality cannot keep up with the customer's needs and production pace. If the above processes are connected to form an automated production line, there is an urgent need to design a mechanism that can automatically unload materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A material distribution and unloading mechanism includes a worktable and a forward / backward translation mechanism and an unloading mechanism fixed on the worktable. The forward / backward translation mechanism includes a forward / backward moving lead screw module, a forward / backward moving servo motor, a vertical moving cylinder, an unloading gripper cylinder, and grippers. The forward / backward moving lead screw module is fixed to the worktable by a support rod. The vertical moving cylinder is mounted on the forward / backward moving lead screw module by a connecting block. The forward / backward moving servo motor is fixed to one end of the forward / backward moving lead screw module and drives the vertical moving cylinder to move forward and backward. The unloading gripper cylinder is fixed... The gripper is connected to the unloading gripper cylinder on the piston rod of the up-and-down moving cylinder. The gripper moves between the unloading mechanism and other workstations. The unloading mechanism includes a good product placement plate, a good product pusher cylinder, and a good product pusher block. The good product placement plate is fixed to the workbench by a support rod. The good product placement plate has a groove in the middle and a unloading port in the groove. The unloading port is connected to a good product unloading chute. The good product pusher cylinder is fixed to one side of the good product placement plate. The good product pusher block is located in the groove and is driven to reciprocate by the good product pusher cylinder.
