Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, specifically a dual-channel bushing feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive bushings are important components used for shock absorption in automotive chassis. Cold heading machines are generally used to process automotive bushings. When cold-extruded products, the cold heading machine usually applies vertical extrusion force to the bushing. In production, the bushing needs to be fed into the cold heading machine vertically for processing.

[0003] In the prior art, a utility model patent with publication number CN216470286U and titled "A Bushing Feeding Device" includes a frame, on which a conveyor belt, a first pushing component, a connecting channel, a second pushing component, and a vertical frame are mounted. The conveyor belt is used to transport bushings that are laid horizontally. One end of the conveyor belt is connected to the first pushing component, which is used to roll the bushings off the conveyor belt. The first pushing component and the second pushing component are connected through the connecting channel. The second pushing component is used to slide the bushings off the connecting channel along the bushing axis. The vertical frame is used to accommodate the bushings pushed off by the second pushing component and is located below the connecting channel. This feeding device can turn horizontally positioned bushings into vertically positioned bushings, facilitating subsequent automated processing of the bushings, replacing manual operation, and improving processing efficiency.

[0004] However, the equipment of this patent still has the following technical defects during use: (1) The equipment of this patent requires manual placement of the bushing on the conveyor belt in the horizontal direction, and then turning it after it is transported to the working position. The overall operation steps are time-consuming and inconvenient to use. (2) The picking and stacking of the bushing of this patent are carried out in sequence. Following this process will prolong the overall working time of the equipment, thus making the equipment inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-channel bushing feeding mechanism.

[0006] The technical problems solved by this utility model are: (1) the existing equipment has a long time consumption when feeding the bushing; (2) the existing equipment is inconvenient to carry out the bushing picking and stacking work at the same time.

[0007] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a dual-channel bushing feeding mechanism, including a base, on which a bushing picking mechanism and a bushing stacking mechanism are provided. The bushing picking mechanism or the bushing stacking mechanism includes two slotted conveyor belts symmetrically arranged on the base. A placement area for placing automotive bushings is formed between the two slotted conveyor belts. A reciprocating motion component that causes the two slotted conveyor belts to move relative to each other is also provided on the base.

[0008] An automotive bushing limiting assembly is installed on the fixed frame of the trough conveyor belt. The automotive bushing limiting assembly includes a bushing clamping member disposed on one side of the fixed frame.

[0009] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that the reciprocating motion component includes a bidirectional screw rotatably connected to the base. The two external threads of the bidirectional screw with opposite directions are each threaded with a screw sleeve that is fixed to the fixing frame. The screw sleeve is slidably connected to the base.

[0010] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that: support slide rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame, and the support slide rods are slidably connected to the top wall of the base, thereby facilitating the stability of the fixed frame when it slides.

[0011] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that: the bushing clamping component includes a side plate fixed to the fixing frame, an installation frame is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate, a clamping plate is horizontally elastically slidably connected to the inner cavity of the installation frame, and a flexible pad that abuts against the outer wall of the automotive bushing is provided on the side of the clamping plate away from the inner cavity of the installation frame. The flexible pad is preferably a pad made of rubber. The setting of the flexible pad facilitates better support of the automotive bushing by the equipment.

[0012] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that two robot transfer mechanisms are also provided on the base, and the two robot transfer mechanisms correspond one-to-one with the bushing picking mechanism and the bushing stacking mechanism.

[0013] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that a baffle is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate and at the end of the clamping plate, and a detection position sensor is fixedly installed on the side of the baffle near the automotive bushing. The robot transfer mechanism and the slotted conveyor belt are electrically connected to the detection position sensor.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model can adjust the distance between the two slotted conveyor belts in the bushing picking mechanism and the bushing stacking mechanism according to the diameter specifications of the bushing picking and stacking bushings. During adjustment, the power of the drive motor is turned on to make the bidirectional screw rotate. Since the outer peripheral wall of the bidirectional screw is provided with two external threads with opposite directions, the threaded sleeves on the two external threads will move relative to each other when the bidirectional screw rotates. The relative movement of the two threaded sleeves drives the two fixed frames to move synchronously through the transmission plate. The fixed frames drive the two slotted conveyor belts to move, thereby realizing the distance adjustment between them. After adjustment, the bushing for picking and stacking is vertically placed between the corresponding two slotted conveyor belts. The clamping plate on the fixed frame facilitates the support of the outer wall of the bushing. By limiting the outer wall, the bushing is prevented from shifting position during the operation of the slotted conveyor belt. Thus, the equipment does not need to be turned during the bushing picking process, which helps to simplify the overall operation steps of the equipment and facilitates the use of the staff.

[0016] 2. After the bushing is transported to the designated work station, the outer wall of the bushing will contact the detection position sensor on one side of the baffle. Since the robot transfer mechanism and servo motor are electrically connected to the detection position sensor, the trough conveyor belt will stop running first, and the automotive robot transfer mechanism will transfer the bushing to the designated work location. This cycle repeats, enabling dual-channel feeding of the bushing. By separating the picking and stacking of the bushing, the waiting time of the robot transfer mechanism can be reduced, thereby shortening the overall construction period of the equipment and making it convenient to use.

[0028] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a dual-channel bushing feeding mechanism, including a base 1. A bushing picking mechanism 2, a robot transfer mechanism 4, and a bushing stacking mechanism 3 are arranged on the base 1. The robot transfer mechanism 4 is located between the bushing picking mechanism 2 and the bushing stacking mechanism 3. The bushing picking mechanism 2 and the bushing stacking mechanism 3 are symmetrically arranged on the base 1. There are two robot transfer mechanisms 4, which correspond one-to-one with the bushing picking mechanism 2 and the bushing stacking mechanism 3, respectively. By placing the bushing picking mechanism 2 and the bushing stacking mechanism 3 on the base 1 at the same time, it is easy to realize dual-channel feeding of the equipment. By separating the picking and stacking of bushings, it is easy to reduce the waiting time of the robot transfer mechanism 4, thereby simplifying the overall process of the equipment and making it convenient to use.

[0030] More specifically, the robot transfer mechanism 4 is used to transfer the car bushings that have arrived at the work station. The robot transfer mechanism 4 is a vertical multi-joint robot used to transfer the car bushings. The grippers on the vertical multi-joint robot are used to hold and fix the car bushings. After the car bushings are held and fixed, they are transferred to the work site. The working principle of the vertical multi-joint robot is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The bushing material handling mechanism 2 or the bushing stacking mechanism 3 includes two fixed frames 55 that are symmetrically slidably connected to the base 1. Each of the two fixed frames 55 is provided with a slotted conveyor belt 56 on the side facing each other. Each of the two fixed frames 55 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 57 that drives the slotted conveyor belt 56 to run on the side away from each other. A placement area for placing automotive bushings is formed between the two slotted conveyor belts 56.

[0032] Two support slide rods 58 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed frame 55. The top wall of the base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 59 for the support slide rods 58 to slide. The cooperation between the support slide rods 58 and the sliding groove 59 helps to improve the stability of the fixed frame 55 when it slides.

[0033] A drive assembly is provided on the base 1 to enable the two fixed frames 55 to move relative to each other. The drive assembly includes a housing 5 fixed on the base 1. The inner cavity of the housing 5 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw 51 via a bearing. The outer peripheral wall of the bidirectional screw 51 is provided with two external threads with opposite directions. Each of the two external threads of the bidirectional screw 51 is threaded with a threaded sleeve 52 that is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the housing 5. A transmission plate 54 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 52. The transmission plate 54 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 55. A drive motor 53 that drives the bidirectional screw 51 to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 5.

[0034] A bushing limiting assembly is provided on the fixing frame 55. The bushing limiting assembly includes a side plate 513 fixed on the fixing frame 55. A bushing clamping member 510 is provided on one side of the side plate 513. The bushing clamping member 510 includes a mounting frame 5101 fixed to one side of the side plate 513. An inner groove 5102 is opened on the side of the mounting frame 5101 away from the side plate 513. A spring assembly 5103 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner groove 5102. A clamping plate 5104 fixed to the spring assembly 5103 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the inner groove 5102. A flexible pad 5105 that abuts against the outer wall of the automobile bushing is provided on the side of the clamping plate 5104 away from the clamping plate 5104.

[0035] A baffle 511 is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate 513 and at the end of the clamping plate 5104. A detection position sensor 512 is fixedly installed on the side of the baffle 511 near the car bushing. The robot transfer mechanism 4 and the servo motor 57 are electrically connected to the detection position sensor 512.

[0036] In use, the distance between the two slotted conveyor belts 56 in the bushing feeding mechanism 2 and the bushing stacking mechanism 3 is adjusted according to the diameter specifications of the feeding and stacking bushings. During adjustment, the power supply of the drive motor 53 is turned on to rotate the bidirectional screw 51. Since the outer peripheral wall of the bidirectional screw 51 is provided with two external threads with opposite directions, the threaded sleeves 52 on the two external threads will move relative to each other when the bidirectional screw 51 rotates. The relative movement of the two threaded sleeves 52 drives the two fixed brackets 55 to move together via the transmission plate 54. The step movement drives the two slotted conveyor belts 56 to move through the fixed frame 55, thereby realizing the distance between the two. After adjustment, the material picking and stacking bushing is vertically placed between the corresponding two slotted conveyor belts 56. The clamping plate 5104 on the fixed frame 55 facilitates the support of the outer wall of the bushing. By supporting it, the bushing is prevented from shifting position during the operation of the slotted conveyor belts 56. As a result, the equipment does not need to turn during the bushing picking process, which helps to simplify the overall operation steps of the equipment and facilitates the use of the staff.

[0037] After the bushing is transported to the designated work station, the outer wall of the bushing will come into contact with the detection position sensor 512 on one side of the baffle 511. Since the robot transfer mechanism 4 and the servo motor 57 are electrically connected to the detection position sensor 512, the slot conveyor belt 56 will stop running first, and the car robot transfer mechanism 4 will transfer the bushing to the designated work location. This cycle repeats, which can realize the dual-channel feeding of the bushing. By separating the picking and stacking of the bushing, the waiting time of the robot transfer mechanism 4 can be reduced, thereby shortening the overall construction period of the equipment and making it convenient to use.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
