Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic assembly equipment, and in particular to a feeding device for an automatic assembly line of tensioning wheels. Background Technology
[0002] The tensioner assembly line is an automated production line that integrates multiple functions such as automatic assembly, quality inspection, and material handling. It is mainly used for high-volume and high-efficiency tensioner assembly operations.
[0003] The automated tensioner assembly line comprises several key components, including assembly and quality inspection stations. These stations work collaboratively according to predetermined procedures and parameters, from tensioner assembly to quality inspection. Currently, the automated tensioner assembly line requires one operator at the loading station to place parts into the initial position. However, with a large volume of loading tasks, operator fatigue is inevitable, impacting loading efficiency.
[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses a feeding device for an automatic assembly line of tensioning wheels.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A feeding device for an automatic assembly line of tensioning wheels includes a workbench with a platform that moves circumferentially along the workbench. An automatic material handling device is also provided on the workbench. The automatic material handling device includes a mounting frame fixed to the workbench. A horizontally arranged lead screw is mounted on the top of the mounting frame. A lead screw is threadedly connected to a lead screw nut. A horizontally arranged lead screw is threadedly connected to the top of the lead screw nut. The lead screw and lead screw nut are perpendicular to each other. A lead screw nut is mounted on the lead screw nut. A vertically arranged lead screw nut is threadedly connected to the lead screw nut. A pneumatic finger is mounted on the bottom of the lead screw nut.
[0008] Furthermore, a pair of turntables are rotatably connected to the workbench, and a belt is provided between the turntables.
[0009] Furthermore, a pin is connected to the outer side of the belt, and the pin is inserted into the platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the workbench is provided with a number of auxiliary wheels arranged circumferentially along the workbench, and the auxiliary wheels support the bottom surface of the platform.
[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary wheel includes a fixed base, the bottom of which is fixed to the worktable, and the side of which is rotatably connected to the auxiliary wheel.
[0012] Furthermore, a motor is installed at the end of the lead screw.
[0013] Furthermore, a motor is installed at the end of the second lead screw.
[0014] Furthermore, a motor is installed at the top of the second lead screw.
[0015] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided on the lead screw three, and the pneumatic finger is installed on the fixed bottom.
[0016] Furthermore, a speed reducer is provided at the bottom of the turntable.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. The platform moves circumferentially along the worktable. Through the rotation of lead screw one, lead screw two and lead screw three, the pneumatic fingers move in the XYZ directions, so that the pneumatic fingers can move and grip materials in the space, thus achieving efficient feeding cycle.
[0019] 2. The turntable rotates, driving the belt to rotate. The belt and the platform are connected by a pin to ensure that the platform and the belt move synchronously. During the movement of the platform, the auxiliary wheel rotates to reduce resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example:
[0026] A feeding device for an automated assembly line of tensioning wheels, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a worktable 1, on which a platform 11 is mounted that moves circumferentially. During operation, the platform 11 is used to support parts.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pair of turntables 2 are rotatably connected to the worktable 1. A reducer 21 is installed at the bottom of the turntables 2, and a belt 22 is installed between the turntables 2. The reducer 21 provides the power required by the turntables 2, and the rotation of the turntables 2 drives the belt 22 to rotate. A pin 221 is connected to the outside of the belt 22, and the pin 221 is inserted into the platform 11 to ensure that the belt 22 and the platform 11 move synchronously.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the workbench 1 is provided with several auxiliary wheels 3 arranged circumferentially on the workbench 1. Each auxiliary wheel 3 includes a fixed base 31, and the auxiliary wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed base 31. The bottom of the fixed base 31 is fixed to the table surface of the workbench 1. The auxiliary wheel 3 contacts the bottom surface of the platform 11. When the platform 11 moves, the auxiliary wheel 3 rotates accordingly, which reduces the resistance to the movement of the platform 11 and supports the platform 11.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic material handling device 4 is provided on the workbench 1. The automatic material handling device 4 includes a mounting frame 41, which is fixed at the center of the workbench 1.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a horizontally arranged lead screw 42 is mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 41. One end of the lead screw 42 is connected to a motor 421. The motor 421 rotates forward and backward, driving the lead screw 42 to perform the same movement. The lead screw 42 is threadedly connected to a lead screw nut 43. The top of the lead screw nut 43 is threadedly connected to a horizontally arranged lead screw 44. Similarly, one end of the lead screw 44 is equipped with a motor 441, which provides the power required by the lead screw 44. The lead screws 42 and 44 are perpendicular to each other. A lead screw nut 45 is mounted on the lead screw 44. The lead screw nut 45 is threadedly connected to a vertically arranged lead screw 46. A motor 461 is mounted on the top of the lead screw 46. A fixing plate 471 is mounted on the lead screw 46. A pneumatic finger 47 is mounted on the bottom of the fixing plate 471. During loading, the pneumatic finger 47 is used to grip the parts. In space, lead screw 1 42, lead screw 2 44 and lead screw 3 46 are located in the three directions of XYZ axis. By rotating the three screws in both directions, the pneumatic finger 47 can move freely.
[0031] Specific work process:
[0032] First, turntable 2 starts, causing all the worktables 11 to move around the circumference of worktable 1. The operator places the part on the worktable 11, and then, according to the program settings, the worktable 11 moves to below the pneumatic finger 47 and pauses temporarily. The pneumatic finger 47 moves downward to pick up the part, and then moves to send the part into the tension wheel automatic assembly line.
[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
