Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear processing technology, and in particular to a material support device. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, gears are key transmission components. The quality and precision of gears play a crucial role in key performance aspects such as power transmission and driving stability. Gear precision turning is a key process to ensure gear precision and quality. During gear precision turning, a material support device is usually required to load gear parts and transport them through a material channel to the loading and unloading chucks of the automatic precision turning equipment to ensure that the loading and unloading chucks can accurately grasp and place the gear parts.

[0003] Currently, the material support devices used in gear precision turning processes typically employ an integrated fixed structure. The bearing surface structure, dimensions, and limiting structure of such material support devices are all custom-designed for a specific type of gear. The entire material support device has a relatively simple function, only adapting to gears of a specific size, resulting in low applicability. When different sizes and types of gears need to be loaded, it is often necessary to customize a special material support device, leading to higher production costs. Furthermore, the large number of material support devices makes them difficult to manage. The process of disassembling and replacing different material support devices on the material channel is time-consuming and labor-intensive, severely affecting the efficiency of gear replacement and loading, and consequently impacting the overall production cycle of gear precision turning. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a material support device, which aims to solve the technical problems of the existing material support devices in gear precision turning processes having relatively simple functions, only adapting to gears of specific sizes, having low applicability, requiring customized material support devices for different types of gears, resulting in high production costs, and the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of disassembling and replacing the material support device on the material channel, which seriously affects the efficiency of gear replacement and loading, and affects the production cycle of the entire gear precision turning process.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material support device, including a mounting platform, a limiting component detachably disposed on the mounting platform, and a material loading plate for loading gears. The mounting platform is provided with a plurality of guide grooves, which are evenly spaced around the center of the mounting platform.

[0006] The limiting assembly includes at least three fixing blocks and at least three limiting rods. One end of the fixing block is connected to the mounting platform through a first connector, and the other end of the fixing block is inserted with the limiting rod. The side of the fixing block away from the limiting rod is limited to the opening of the guide groove through a second connector. The limiting rod is located directly above the opening of the guide groove.

[0007] The material carrier plate is provided with several limiting slots, which are adapted to the limiting rods. When the limiting rods pass through the limiting slots and the material carrier plate abuts against the side of the fixing block away from the guide groove, the surface of the material carrier plate and the periphery of the three limiting rods together form a limiting space for placing the gear.

[0008] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this material-supporting device are: it can load gear parts of different sizes, has high applicability, a simple structure, and is easy to operate. It can quickly change the size of the limiting space within the device, effectively improving the efficiency of gear replacement and loading, and thus increasing the overall production cycle of gear precision machining. Specifically, a limiting component is used to stably place the loading plate on the mounting table. The limiting component includes a fixed block and a limiting rod. The loading plate has a limiting through groove adapted to the limiting rod, and the mounting table has a guide groove for guiding the limiting rod to change position. One end of the fixed block is connected to the mounting table via a first connector, and the other end is limited to the opening of the guide groove via a second connector. In actual use, the position of the fixed block and the limiting rod can be changed by loosening the first connector and moving it along the direction to the guide groove. This allows for rapid changes in the size of the limiting space formed by the surface of the loading plate and the periphery of the three limiting rods, meeting the loading requirements of gear parts of different sizes.

[0009] In addition, the material support device according to the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting through groove includes at least three first limiting through grooves, each of which is an arc-shaped groove. The three first limiting through grooves are evenly spaced around the center of the carrier plate, with one end of each first limiting through groove located close to the center of the carrier plate and the other end located close to the outer edge of the carrier plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting through groove also includes at least three second limiting through grooves. The second limiting through grooves are independently arranged from the first limiting through groove. The second limiting through groove is an arc-shaped groove. The three second limiting through grooves are evenly spaced around the center of the material carrier plate, and the two ends of the second limiting through grooves are respectively located close to the outer edge of the material carrier plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting platform is also provided with a connecting block, which has at least two connecting through holes for fixing the mounting platform to the material channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing block includes a fixing part and a support part integrally connected to the fixing part. The fixing part is provided with a fixing hole, which is adapted to the first connecting member. One end of the support part away from the fixing part is limited to the top of the groove opening of the guide groove by the second connecting member, and the limiting rod is provided on the side of the support part opposite to the guide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the side surface of the support portion away from the mounting platform is higher than the side surface of the fixing portion away from the mounting platform.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The image shows a material support device according to the present invention, including a mounting platform 10, a limiting component detachably mounted on the mounting platform 10, and a loading plate 30 for loading gears. The mounting platform 10 is used to install on the material channel so that the entire material support device can be fixed on the material channel and transported through the material channel to the position of the loading and unloading claws of the automatic precision machining equipment. The limiting component is used to limit and fix the gears on the loading plate 30.

[0028] As an example, the mounting platform 10 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 101, which are evenly spaced around the center of the mounting platform 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting platform 10 is provided with six guide grooves 101, which are evenly spaced around the center of the mounting platform 10, and each guide groove 101 extends linearly from the center of the mounting platform 10 toward the circumferential side of the mounting platform 10. More specifically, each guide groove 101 has a first through hole 102 on one side away from the center of the mounting platform 10. The first through hole 102 is adapted to the first connecting member 51 to fix the limiting component on the mounting platform 10. In this embodiment, the mounting platform 10 is also provided with a plurality of second through holes 103. Specifically, a second through hole 103 is provided on the mounting platform 10 between every two adjacent guide grooves 101. The provision of the second through holes 103 can reduce the weight of the entire material support device and facilitate the operator's handling of the material in the material channel.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting platform 10 is also provided with a connecting block 11, which has at least two connecting through holes 111 for fixing the mounting platform 10 to the material channel. As a specific example, in this embodiment, a connecting block 11 extends horizontally outward from the middle of one side of the mounting platform 10, and the connecting block 11 has two connecting through holes 111 spaced apart, the connecting through holes 111 having an oblong hole structure.

[0030] As an example, the limiting assembly includes at least three fixing blocks 21 and at least three limiting rods 22. One end of the fixing block 21 is connected to the mounting platform 10 via a first connector 51, and the other end of the fixing block 21 is fitted with a limiting rod 22. The side of the fixing block 21 facing away from the limiting rod 22 is limited by a second connector 52 to be directly above the opening of the guide groove 101. The limiting rod 22 is located directly above the opening of the guide groove 101. In this embodiment, the fixing block 21 includes a fixing part 211 and a support part 212 integrally connected to the fixing part 211. The fixing part 211 is provided with a fixing hole 201, which is adapted to the first connector 51. The fixing block 21 is fixed on the mounting block by screwing the first connector 51 through the fixing hole 201 and into the first through hole 102 on the mounting platform 10. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the fixing hole 201 is an oblong hole structure, and the long axis of the oblong hole is set along the length of the entire fixing block 21. The oblong hole structure facilitates the adjustment of the position of the fixing block 21 on the mounting platform 10, thereby meeting the adjustment requirements of the limiting rod 22 at the position directly above the groove of the guide groove 101.

[0031] Furthermore, the end of the support portion 212 away from the fixing portion 211 is limited to the top of the groove opening of the guide groove 101 by the second connector 52, and a limiting rod 22 is provided on the side of the support portion 212 away from the guide groove 101. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the surface of the support portion 212 away from the mounting platform 10 is higher than the surface of the fixing portion 211 away from the mounting platform 10, so as to realize the support portion 212 supporting the material carrier plate 30.

[0032] As an example, the material carrier plate 30 is provided with several limiting slots, which are adapted to the limiting rods 22. When the limiting rods 22 pass through the limiting slots and the material carrier plate 30 abuts against the side of the fixing block 21 away from the guide groove 101, the plate surface of the material carrier plate 30 and the periphery of the three limiting rods 22 together form a limiting space for placing the gear.

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting channel includes at least three first limiting channels 301. The first limiting channels 301 are arc-shaped channels. The three first limiting channels 301 are evenly spaced around the center of the material carrier plate 30. One end of the first limiting channel 301 is located close to the center of the material carrier plate 30, and the other end of the first limiting channel 301 is located close to the outer edge of the material carrier plate 30.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting through groove also includes at least three second limiting through grooves 302. The second limiting through grooves 302 and the first limiting through grooves 301 are independently arranged. The second limiting through grooves 302 are arc-shaped grooves. The three second limiting through grooves 302 are evenly spaced around the center of the carrier plate 30, and the two ends of the second limiting through grooves 302 are respectively located near the outer edge of the carrier plate 30. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the carrier plate 30 is provided with three first limiting through grooves 301 and three second limiting through grooves 302. The three first limiting through grooves 301 form a windmill-like structure around the center of the carrier plate 30. Each first limiting through groove 301 has a second limiting through groove 302 at one end away from the center of the carrier plate 30. The three second limiting through grooves 302 are evenly spaced around the center of the carrier plate 30.

[0035] As an example, the material support device of this application also includes a positioning post 40, which is fixed at the center of the mounting platform 10 by a third connector 53. The guide groove 101 is arranged radially along the positioning post 40. Furthermore, the material carrier plate 30 is provided with a positioning hole 303, which is adapted to the positioning post 40. When the material carrier plate 30 abuts against the support part 212, the positioning post 40 is located in the positioning hole 303. It should be noted that in the material support device of this application, the material plate 30 is positioned on the mounting table 10 by the contact of three first limiting through grooves 301 and three limiting rods 22. The positions of the three second limiting through grooves 302 on the material plate 30 correspond to the positions of the first through holes 102 on the mounting table 10. Furthermore, the cooperation between the positioning pins 40 and the positioning holes 303 not only improves the assembly accuracy and ease of assembly of the material plate 30 on the mounting table 10, but also ensures that after the positions of the three limiting rods 22 are adjusted, the gear parts placed in the limiting space formed by the periphery of the material plate 30 and the three limiting rods 22 are located at the center of the material plate 30, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the operator.

[0036] As an example, the material support device of this application also includes a limiting block 60. Both ends of the limiting block 60 are fixed to one side of the mounting platform 10 via a fourth connecting member 54. A limiting groove 601 is provided in the middle of the side of the limiting block 60 facing away from the center of the mounting platform 10. Specifically, the limiting block 60 is located on the side of the mounting platform 10 opposite to the connecting block 11. The limiting groove 601 is arranged along the thickness direction of the limiting block 60 and has an inverted V-shaped structure. In actual use, the automatic precision machining equipment uses the limiting groove 601 on the limiting block 60 to limit and fix the entire material support device, preventing the entire material support device from moving during the loading and unloading of gear parts by the automatic precision machining equipment's loading and unloading jaws. This effectively ensures the accuracy of the automatic precision machining equipment's loading and unloading jaws in gripping or placing gear parts on the material support device of this application.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connector 51, the second connector 52, the third connector 53, and the fourth connector 54 can all adopt the structure of connecting bolts to achieve the purpose of connection and fixation. It should be understood that the first connector 51, the second connector 52, the third connector 53, and the fourth connector 54 in the material support device of this application are not limited to the structural design of connecting bolts in this embodiment, and can also be other structural designs that can achieve the purpose of this utility model.

[0038] In practical use, the working principle of the material support device of this utility model is as follows: First, the first connector 51 is screwed through the fixing hole 201 on the fixing block 21 and the first through hole 102 on the mounting platform 10 to fix the fixing block 21 on the mounting platform 10. Then, the second connector 52 is used to limit one end of the fixing block 21 with the limiting rod 22 to be directly above the groove opening of the guide groove 101 of the mounting platform 10. Subsequently, the limiting rod 22 is selected to pass through the first limiting through groove 301 or the second limiting through groove 302 on the material carrier plate 30, and the lower surface of the material carrier plate 30 is made to abut against the upper surface of the support part 212 in the fixing block 21. The positioning post 40 on the mounting platform 10 is aligned and inserted into the positioning hole 303 on the material carrier plate 30. At this time, the upper surface of the material carrier plate 30 and the circumference of the three limiting rods 22 together form a limiting space for placing gear parts. The size of the limiting space can be changed according to the outer diameter of the gear parts. Specifically, the material carrier plate 30 can be removed first, and then the first connecting piece 51 located in the fixing hole 201 of the fixing block 21 can be loosened. The end of the fixing block 21 with the limiting rod 22 inserted can be moved along the guide groove 101 towards the center of the mounting platform 10, thereby changing the position of the limiting rod 22 on the mounting platform 10. When the limiting rod 22 moves to a position that matches the size of the outer circle of the gear part, the first connecting piece 51 can be tightened to fix the position of the limiting rod 22. Then, the material carrier plate 30 can be placed on the mounting platform 10 through the limiting rod 22, so that the limiting space formed by the upper surface of the material carrier plate 30 and the circumference of the three limiting rods 22 can match the outer circle of the gear part, so as to achieve stable placement of the gear part on the material support device of this application.

[0039] After the limiting space on the material support device is adjusted, the entire material support device can be fixed on the material channel through the two connecting through holes 111 on the mounting table 10. This allows the entire material support device loaded with gear parts to be transported to the position of the loading and unloading chucks of the automatic precision machining equipment as the material channel moves. When the entire material support device loaded with gear parts moves to the position of the loading and unloading chucks of the automatic precision machining equipment, the sensor installed on the automatic precision machining equipment will automatically sense the arrival of the material support device and fix the position of the entire material support device through the limiting groove 601 of the limiting block 60 on the mounting table 10. This ensures that the entire material support device will not move during the process of the loading and unloading chucks grabbing or placing gear parts. When the gear parts on the material support device are completely grabbed or the material support device is full of gear parts, the automatic precision machining equipment will automatically remove the limitation on the position of the entire material support device, so that the material support device can continue to move to the next process as the material channel moves.

[0040] In summary, the beneficial effects of this material-supporting device are: it can load gear parts of different sizes, has high applicability, a simple structure, and is easy to operate. It can quickly change the size of the limiting space within the device, effectively improving the efficiency of gear replacement and loading, and thus increasing the overall production cycle of gear precision machining. Specifically, a limiting component is used to stably place the loading plate on the mounting table. The limiting component includes a fixed block and a limiting rod. The loading plate has a limiting through groove adapted to the limiting rod, and the mounting table has a guide groove for guiding the limiting rod to change position. One end of the fixed block is connected to the mounting table via a first connector, and the other end is limited to the opening of the guide groove via a second connector. In actual use, the position of the fixed block and the limiting rod can be changed by loosening the first connector and moving it along the direction to the guide groove. This allows for rapid changes in the size of the limiting space formed by the surface of the loading plate and the periphery of the three limiting rods, meeting the loading requirements of gear parts of different sizes.
