Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing production and processing technology, specifically a dual-channel automatic switching discharge device for bearing production. Background Technology

[0002] In the bearing manufacturing process, the unloading device is mainly used to remove the finished or unfinished bearings from the production equipment and transport them to the next process or collection equipment. Most common unloading devices for bearing production adopt mechanical automation methods, such as automatic conveying of bearings through conveyor belts, slides, vibratory feeders and other devices.

[0003] Existing bearing production discharge devices require replacement of the collection equipment when it is full. This replacement necessitates manual intervention or machine shutdown for adjustment, increasing collection time and impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, the discharge mechanism of existing bearing production discharge devices may experience jamming or collisions during bearing discharge, leading to production interruptions and requiring machine shutdown for adjustment. This further increases discharge time and reduces production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-channel automatic switching discharge device for bearing production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A dual-channel automatic switching discharge device for bearing production includes a support frame, a discharge mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a discharge mechanism, and a collection box. The support frame and the discharge mechanism are fixedly connected, the conveying mechanism and the discharge mechanism are fixedly connected, the conveying mechanism and the support frame are fixedly connected, the discharge mechanism and the support frame are fixedly connected, and two collection boxes are provided, which abut against the support frame.

[0007] The bearings are arranged one by one by the feeding mechanism and moved to the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism then transports the arranged bearings to the discharge mechanism, which then transports them to the same collection box. When the number of bearings in the collection box reaches a certain amount, the discharge mechanism switches to transport bearings to another collection box. This allows the discharge device to discharge from one channel while the other channel is ready for the next discharge, thus greatly reducing waiting time and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism includes a first housing, a counting unit, a first base, a first motor, a transmission rod, a flap, a discharge pipe, and a stop unit. The counting unit is fixedly connected to the first housing, the first base is fixedly connected to the first housing, the first motor is fixedly connected to the first base, the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the transmission rod, the transmission rod is drivenly connected to the flap, the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the first housing, the first housing is provided with an installation groove, the flap is placed in the installation groove, there are two discharge pipes, the two discharge pipes are connected to the installation groove, and the stop unit is fixedly connected to the first housing.

[0009] The first housing has an installation slot, into which the bearings are fed by the conveying mechanism. A flap blocks one of the discharge pipes, causing the bearings to be output to that pipe. A counting unit accurately records the number of bearings that have fallen into the installation slot. When the number reaches a preset value, a stop unit stops the conveying mechanism from feeding bearings into the installation slot to prevent them from overflowing. A first motor drives a transmission rod to rotate. The transmission rod and the flap are connected by a keyway, causing the transmission rod to rotate the flap, which blocks the discharge pipe and causes the bearings to fall into the other discharge pipe, thus being conveyed to another collection box. This achieves automatic switching between the two channels, reducing production interruption time caused by waiting for collection box replacement or the conveying mechanism to stop.

[0010] Furthermore, the counting unit includes a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter and the first housing are fixedly connected, the receiver and the first housing are fixedly connected, and the transmitter and receiver are arranged symmetrically.

[0011] A beam of light is emitted by a transmitter and received by a receiver. When a bearing passes through the beam, the beam is blocked, and the receiver records the signal that the beam has been interrupted, thus enabling the counting of bearings.

[0012] Furthermore, the stopping unit includes an electric cylinder and a baffle. The electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the first housing, the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the baffle, and the baffle is slidably connected to the conveying mechanism.

[0013] The baffle is pushed by the electric cylinder, causing it to slide towards the outlet of the conveying mechanism. This blocks the outlet of the conveying mechanism, thus accurately stopping the conveying of the bearings and preventing the bearings from falling into the closed channel when the discharge mechanism switches channels, which would cause the number of bearings to exceed the preset value.

[0014] Furthermore, the material discharge mechanism includes a second motor, a turntable, a guide block, a second housing, a first guide plate, and a second guide plate. The second motor is fixedly connected to the support frame, the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the turntable, the guide block is fixedly connected to the turntable, the second housing is fixedly connected to the support frame, the turntable is rotatably connected to the second housing, the first guide plate is fixedly connected to the second housing, and the second guide plate is fixedly connected to the second housing.

[0015] The second motor is fixed to the support frame to ensure stable operation, thereby driving the turntable to rotate smoothly and preventing vibration of the turntable caused by the vibration of the second motor. The guide block is fixedly connected to the turntable, so that the guide block rotates with the turntable. By setting a through groove on the first guide plate, the bearings that rotate along the outer ring of the turntable pass through the first guide plate and then through the second guide plate. The bearings that pass through the first guide plate are blocked, so that the bearings change from rotating along the outer ring of the turntable to moving linearly along the space between the first and second guide plates and moving out of the turntable, so as to realize the one-by-one arrangement of the bearings.

[0016] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a second base, a third motor, a support, rollers, and a conveyor belt. The second base and the support frame are fixedly connected, the third motor and the second base are fixedly connected, there are two rollers, the support and the rollers are rotatably connected, the output end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the rollers, and the conveyor belt is fitted around the outer ring of the two rollers.

[0017] The rollers are driven to rotate by motor number three, causing the conveyor belt, which is fitted around the outer ring of the two rollers, to rotate along the two rollers. Motor number three is stably operated by machine base number two, and the two rollers and conveyor belt are supported by brackets, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the conveying mechanism and realizing the conveying of bearings.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide block is designed to be conical.

[0019] By setting the guide block to a conical shape, the bearing is guided to pass smoothly through the discharge port, avoiding production interruptions caused by blockage in the center of the turntable and reducing the blockage of the bearing during the discharge process.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. The transmission rod is driven by a No. 1 motor to rotate. The transmission rod and the flap are connected by a keyway, which causes the transmission rod to drive the flap to rotate. This causes the flap to block the discharge pipe, realizing automatic switching between the two channels. The bearing then falls into the other discharge pipe, thus conveying the material to another collection box. This allows the discharge device to discharge material in one channel while the other channel is ready for the next discharge, which greatly reduces waiting time, significantly improves production efficiency, and reduces production interruption time caused by waiting for collection box replacement or the stopping of the conveying mechanism.

[0022] 2. The baffle is pushed by the electric cylinder, causing it to slide towards the outlet of the conveying mechanism. This blocks the outlet of the conveying mechanism, thus accurately stopping the conveying of the bearings and preventing the bearings from falling into the closed channel when the discharge mechanism switches channels, which would cause the number of bearings to exceed the preset value.

[0023] 3. By setting the guide block to a conical shape, the bearing is guided to pass smoothly through the discharge port, avoiding production interruptions caused by blockage in the center of the turntable and reducing the blockage of the bearing during the discharge process.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example: Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a dual-channel automatic switching discharge device for bearing production. The discharge device includes a support frame 1, a discharge mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a discharge mechanism 4, and a collection box 5. The support frame 1 and the discharge mechanism 2 are fixedly connected, the conveying mechanism 3 and the discharge mechanism 2 are fixedly connected, the conveying mechanism 3 and the support frame 1 are fixedly connected, the discharge mechanism 4 and the support frame 1 are fixedly connected, and two collection boxes 5 are provided, with the two collection boxes 5 abutting against the support frame 1.

[0032] The bearings are arranged one by one by the discharge mechanism 2 and moved one by one to the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 transports the arranged bearings to the discharge mechanism 4. The discharge mechanism 4 transports the bearings to the same collection box 5. When the number of bearings in the collection box 5 reaches a certain amount, the discharge mechanism 4 switches to transport bearings to another collection box 5. This allows the discharge device to discharge in one channel while the other channel is ready for the next discharge, which greatly reduces waiting time and significantly improves production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the discharge mechanism 4 includes a first housing 41, a counting unit 42, a first base 43, a first motor 44, a transmission rod 45, a flap 46, a discharge pipe 47, and a stop unit 48. The counting unit 42 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41, the first base 43 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41, the first motor 44 is fixedly connected to the first base 43, the output end of the first motor 44 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 45, the transmission rod 45 is drivenly connected to the flap 46, the transmission rod 45 is rotatably connected to the first housing 41, the first housing 41 is provided with an installation groove 411, the flap 46 is placed in the installation groove 411, there are two discharge pipes 47, the two discharge pipes 47 are connected to the installation groove 411, and the stop unit 48 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41.

[0034] The first housing 41 has an installation groove 411, which allows the bearing to fall into the installation groove 411 via the conveying mechanism 3. One of the discharge pipes 47 is blocked by a flap 46, causing the bearing to be output to the other discharge pipe 47. The counting unit 42 accurately records the number of bearings falling into the installation groove 411. When the number reaches a preset value, the stop unit 48 stops the conveying mechanism 3 from feeding the bearing into the installation groove 411 to prevent the bearing from overflowing. The first motor 44 drives the transmission rod 45 to rotate. The transmission rod 45 and the flap 46 are connected by a keyway, causing the transmission rod 45 to drive the flap 46 to rotate. The flap 46 blocks the discharge pipe 47 and causes the bearing to fall into the other discharge pipe 47, thereby being conveyed to another collection box 5. This realizes automatic switching between the two channels and reduces the production interruption time caused by waiting for the collection box 5 to be replaced or the conveying mechanism 3 to stop.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the counting unit 42 includes a transmitter 421 and a receiver 422. The transmitter 421 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41, and the receiver 422 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41. The transmitter 421 and the receiver 422 are arranged symmetrically.

[0036] A light beam is emitted by transmitter 421 and received by receiver 422. When a bearing passes through the light beam, the light beam is blocked, and receiver 422 records the signal that the light beam is disconnected, thus realizing the counting of bearings.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the stopping unit 48 includes an electric cylinder 481 and a baffle 482. The electric cylinder 481 is fixedly connected to the first housing 41, the output end of the electric cylinder 481 is fixedly connected to the baffle 482, and the baffle 482 is slidably connected to the conveying mechanism 3.

[0038] The electric cylinder 481 pushes the baffle 482, causing the baffle 482 to slide towards the outlet of the conveying mechanism 3, thereby blocking the outlet of the conveying mechanism 3 and accurately stopping the conveying of the bearing. This prevents the bearing from falling into the closed channel when the discharge mechanism 4 switches channels, thus avoiding the number of bearings exceeding the preset value.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the material discharge mechanism 2 includes a second motor 21, a turntable 22, a guide block 23, a second housing 24, a first guide plate 25, and a second guide plate 26. The second motor 21 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1, the output end of the second motor 21 is fixedly connected to the turntable 22, the guide block 23 is fixedly connected to the turntable 22, the second housing 24 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1, the turntable 22 is rotatably connected to the second housing 24, the first guide plate 25 is fixedly connected to the second housing 24, and the second guide plate 26 is fixedly connected to the second housing 24.

[0040] The second motor 21 is fixed to the support frame 1, ensuring stable operation of the second motor 21. This allows the second motor 21 to drive the turntable 22 to rotate smoothly, preventing vibration of the turntable 22 caused by the vibration of the second motor 21. The guide block 23 is fixedly connected to the turntable 22, allowing the guide block 23 to rotate with the turntable 22. A through groove is provided on the first guide plate 25, allowing the bearings rotating along the outer ring of the turntable 22 to pass through the first guide plate 25 and then through the second guide plate 26. This blocks the bearings that have passed through the first guide plate 25, causing the bearings to change from rotating along the outer ring of the turntable 22 to moving linearly along the space between the first guide plate 25 and the second guide plate 26, and moving them out of the turntable 22, thus achieving the sequential arrangement of the bearings.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a second base 31, a third motor 32, a bracket 33, rollers 34, and a conveyor belt 35. The second base 31 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1, the third motor 32 is fixedly connected to the second base 31, there are two rollers 34, the bracket 33 is rotatably connected to the rollers 34, the output end of the third motor 32 is fixedly connected to the rollers 34, and the conveyor belt 35 is sleeved on the outer ring of the two rollers 34.

[0042] The No. 3 motor 32 drives the rollers 34 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 35, which is sleeved on the outer ring of the two rollers 34, to rotate along the two rollers 34. The No. 3 motor 32 is stably operated by the No. 2 machine base 31, and the two rollers 34 and the conveyor belt 35 are supported by the bracket 33, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the conveying mechanism 3, and thus realizing the conveying of the bearing.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the guide block 23 is designed to be conical.

[0044] By setting the guide block 23 to a conical shape, the bearing is guided to pass smoothly through the discharge port, avoiding production interruptions caused by blockage in the center of the turntable 22 and reducing the blockage phenomenon of the bearing during the discharge process.

[0045] Working principle: The turntable 22 is stably driven to rotate by motor 21, causing the bearings on turntable 22 to move along its outer ring. Guide block 23 is fixedly connected to turntable 22 to ensure the bearings remain stable during rotation. When a bearing passes through the slot of guide plate 25, it is blocked by guide plate 26, thus changing the bearing's movement from rotation along turntable 22 to linear movement. The bearings are then sequentially conveyed onto conveyor belt 35. Motor 32 drives roller 34 to rotate, causing conveyor belt 35 to move along roller 34, conveying the bearings to mounting slot 411. Beam detection by transmitter 421 and receiver 422 blocks the beam when a bearing is conveyed to mounting slot 411. Receiver 422 records signals to count bearings. Through the discharge pipe 47 connected to the mounting slot 411, the bearings fall into the collection box 5. When the number of bearings in the first collection box 5 reaches the preset value, the counting unit 42 sends a signal to push the baffle 482 through the electric cylinder 481, causing the baffle 482 to slide towards the outlet of the conveying mechanism 3, thereby blocking the outlet of the conveying mechanism 3 and preventing the bearings from overflowing. Subsequently, the first motor 44 drives the transmission rod 45 to rotate, which drives the flip plate 46 to rotate through the keyway transmission connection, switching the discharge channel. Through the retraction of the electric cylinder 481, the outlet of the conveying mechanism 3 is opened, allowing the bearings to fall into another discharge pipe 47 and be transported to another collection box 5.

[0046] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
