Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of finned material collection and reversing device, and particularly relates to an automated stacking finned material collection and reversing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fin processing industry, the reversing of stacked fin aggregates is a crucial step, especially on automated production lines. The efficiency and accuracy of this reversing directly impact production efficiency and product quality. While existing stacked fin aggregate reversing devices meet production needs to some extent, they still have some shortcomings.

[0003] Specifically, existing stacked fin collecting and reversing devices typically place the turning guide groove directly on the collecting station and turntable to allow for a 90-degree turn between the collecting station and the turning station. However, this design has revealed some problems in practical applications. Since a vacuum negative pressure adsorption device for adsorbing stamped fins is usually located directly above the collecting station, and the support portion of this device is typically located on the periphery of the collecting station, the space around and above the collecting station is relatively limited. In this situation, if the turning guide groove is directly placed on the collecting station, the station needs to be elongated to provide sufficient space for the fin collecting material to move during the turn. However, this not only increases the equipment's footprint but may also lead to increased production costs and hinders the compact layout and flexible adjustment of the production line.

[0004] Therefore, the inventors dedicated themselves to designing a whole stack finned material collection and reversing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device, which can reduce the equipment footprint and production cost, and improve the compactness and flexibility of the production line.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device includes a base with two receiving trolleys. From the feeding to the discharging direction, the base has a material collection station, a trolley changing station, and a turning station arranged sequentially. A turntable is rotatably connected to the trolley changing station. The material collection station, the turntable, and the turning station share a common groove. Two sliding members are slidably connected within the groove. The material collection station and the turntable share a material collection guide groove, and the turning station and the turntable share a turning guide groove. A portion of the turning guide groove is semi-circular. The groove is located between the material collection guide groove and the turning guide groove, and all three are arranged along the length of the base. The two receiving trolleys and the two sliding members are rotatably connected one-to-one and guided one-to-one with the material collection guide groove and the turning guide groove.

[0008] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin collection and reversing device of this utility model, each receiving cart is movably supported by a pallet, the pallet is movably sleeved on the collecting needle of the receiving cart, and two lifting mechanisms for lifting the pallet are provided at intervals on the collecting station.

[0009] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model, the two lifting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged. Each lifting mechanism includes a lifting screw and a lifting seat. The lifting seat is sleeved on the lifting screw and vertically slidably disposed on the lifting column on the base. The lifting screw is rotatably disposed on the base and threadedly engaged with the lifting seat.

[0010] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin collection and reversing device of this utility model, a plurality of positioning rods for pressing against the receiving car are provided at the edge of the collection station, and all the positioning rods, the groove and the collection guide groove are located between the two lifting mechanisms.

[0011] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin collection and reversing device of this utility model, two pairs of positioning cylinders are spaced apart on the collection station, and the lifting mechanism is located between the same pair of positioning cylinders. The lifting mechanism and the pair of positioning cylinders on the same side are spaced apart along the length direction of the base, and the output end of each positioning cylinder is provided with a pressure block for moving and pressing against the receiving cart.

[0012] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model, each of the sliding parts is fixedly connected to the bottom of a rack, and the two ends of the rack are slidably connected to the groove through pulleys.

[0013] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model, two sets of gears are provided in the groove, and the two sets of gears are respectively connected to the two racks for transmission.

[0014] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model, a driving gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the turntable, a driven gear is fixed to the bottom of the turntable, the driven gear is rotatably connected to the base, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0015] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the turntable, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a rotary positioning pin, which is inserted downward into the base.

[0016] As an improvement of the automated stacking fin collection and reversing device of this utility model, a limiting post is provided at the bottom center of the receiving car, and two cover plates are provided at the groove opening of the collection station and the groove opening of the turning station. The two cover plates of the same station are spaced apart to form a sliding groove, and the limiting post is movably engaged with the sliding groove.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model rotates and connects a turntable at the base's car-changing station. A groove is set together at the material collection station, the turntable, and the turning station, allowing two receiving cars to operate sequentially at the three stations. The receiving cars collect material at the material collection station and then slide to the turntable. The rotation of the turntable swaps the two receiving cars on the turntable. The swapped receiving cars then turn through the semi-circular part on the turning guide groove. This achieves efficient and accurate reversing of fin material collection between the material collection station and the turning station, reducing the equipment footprint and production costs, and improving the compactness and flexibility of the production line.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The receiving cart 4 includes a seat 41, a handle 42, multiple collecting needles 43, and multiple guide rods 44. The handle 42 is U-shaped and fixed to the front side of the seat 41. The multiple collecting needles 43 and multiple guide rods 44 are all vertically arranged on the seat 41. The bottom of the seat 41 is provided with a limiting post 411 and a guide post 412. The limiting post 411 is located at the center of the seat 41, and the guide post 412 is eccentrically arranged at the bottom of the seat 41. When receiving... When the receiving car 4 is located at the material collection station, the limiting post 411 at the bottom of the receiving car 4 is located in the material collection chute 121 and is movablely engaged with the material collection chute 121, and the guide post 412 at the bottom of the receiving car 4 is located in the material collection guide chute 122; when the receiving car 4 is located at the turning station, the limiting post 411 at the bottom of the receiving car 4 is located in the turning chute 141 and is movablely engaged with the turning chute 141, and the guide post 412 at the bottom of the receiving car 4 is located in the turning guide chute 142.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 Each receiving car 4 has a seat 41 on which a pallet 5 is movably supported. The pallet 5 also supports a material collection rack 51. The pallet 5 and the material collection rack 51 are movably mounted on multiple material collection needles 43 and multiple guide rods 44 of the receiving car 4. The two lifting seats 22 can lift the pallet 5, the material collection rack 51 and the entire stack of fins 8 carried on the material collection rack 51 together upward.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 11 The working principle of the automated stacking fin material collection and reversing device of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] When an empty receiving trolley 4 (with its handle 42 facing forward) slides to the material collection station of the base 1, the lifting parts of the two lifting seats 22 are located directly below the edge of the pallet 5. The left side of the receiving trolley 4 at the material collection station presses against the positioning rod 24, and the four positioning cylinders 23 drive their respective pressure blocks 231 to move, jointly pressing the seat 41 of the empty receiving trolley 4. The two lifting motors control the two lifting screws 21 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two lifting seats 22 to rise synchronously, lifting the pallet 5 and the material collection rack 51 upward together.

[0042] At the material collection station, as more and more fins 8 are stacked on the material collection rack 51 (each fin 8 is long and falls on the material collection rack 51 along the length of the base 1, and the through hole of each fin 8 passes through the material collection needle 43), the two lifting seats 22 also gradually descend under the control of the two lifting motors until the material collection rack 51 is full of fins 8.

[0043] The sliding speed-changing motor 6 at the bottom left of the turntable 3 controls the gear set 61 at the left end to move, thereby controlling the rack 132 at the left end to slide within the groove 15. The guide post 412 of the left receiving cart 4 slides within the collecting guide groove 122, driving the receiving cart 4 at the collecting station to move forward until it reaches the left end of the turntable 3. At the same time, the sliding speed-changing motor 6 at the bottom right of the turntable 3 controls the gear set 61 at the right end to move, thereby controlling the rack 132 at the right end to slide within the groove 15. The guide post 412 of the receiving trolley 4 slides within the steering guide groove 142, causing the empty receiving trolley 4 on the right end of the steering station (with its handle 42 located on the side) to move backward. When the guide post 412 of the right receiving trolley 4 slides along the semi-circular portion of the steering guide groove 142, the right receiving trolley 4 turns 90 degrees under the guidance of the semi-circular portion of the steering guide groove 142, so that the handle 42 of the right receiving trolley 4 is located on the rear side, until it moves to the right end of the turntable 3 (refer to...). Figure 4 As shown, the handles 42 of the two receiving carts 4 are close together;

[0044] The hydraulic motor 73 controls the rotation of the drive gear 71, which in turn drives the driven gear 72 to rotate, ultimately controlling the turntable 3 to rotate 180 degrees. To prevent the turntable 3 from rotating further due to inertia, the oil cylinder 7 drives the rotary positioning pin 74 to extend downward into the base 1, so that the turntable 3 stops rotating accurately, and finally the two receiving carts 4 are swapped.

[0045] On the one hand, the empty receiving car 4 is moved to the collection station to receive materials. On the other hand, the receiving car 4, which is filled with fins 8, can unload materials after turning 90 degrees at the turning station (after turning, individual fins 8 are stacked on the collection rack 51 along the width direction of the base 1).

[0046] In summary, the automated stacking fin material reversing device of this utility model solves the problems existing in the prior art through ingenious structural design, realizes efficient and accurate reversing of fin material between the material collection station and the turning station, and at the same time reduces the equipment footprint and production cost, and improves the compactness and flexibility of the production line.

[0047] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
