[0046] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0047] The conveying device for the single-opening lock cylinder 6 tooling 7 provided in this application aims to solve the problems of traditional devices, such as complex structure, difficult maintenance, and inflexible spatial layout, by optimizing existing conveying systems, while improving the automation level, efficiency, and reliability of the production line. Detailed embodiments describe in detail the various components of the conveying device and their cooperative working principle, as well as its advantages in practical applications.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device consists of a support frame 1, a circulating conveying mechanism 2, a drive mechanism 3, and a switching mechanism 4. The design of this device fully considers space utilization, conveying efficiency, and structural simplification, adopting a modular and flexible design concept to ensure the reliability and ease of maintenance of the equipment. Through precise coordination, the various components ensure that the tooling fixture 7 can flow smoothly and efficiently between different processes on the production line.
[0049] As the fundamental component of the conveying device, support bracket 1 is responsible for supporting all other parts. The material selection and structural design of support bracket 1 ensure the stability of the equipment and the reliability of its long-term operation. In actual production, support bracket 1 can be customized according to the layout of the production line to adapt to the needs of production lines of different sizes and heights.
[0050] like Figure 2As shown, the circulating conveying mechanism 2: the circulating conveying mechanism 2 is the core part of the device, through the alternating operation of two slides to realize the circulating transportation of the tool 7 jig. The first slide 21 and the second slide 22 are arranged in reverse, which can ensure smooth and efficient transmission route. The structure design of the two slides is reasonable, which can effectively reduce the friction loss and ensure the smooth sliding of the tool 7 jig on the slide.
[0051] Slide design: the surface of the slide adopts low-friction material or coating to reduce friction and improve conveying efficiency. The slide also has guide rails to ensure accurate positioning and stable movement of the tool 7 jig during transportation. The width and height of the slide are optimized according to the size of the tool 7 jig to ensure the safe movement of each tool 7.
[0052] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the design of the tool 7 jig takes into account its stability and adaptability, and the jig structure design conforms to the characteristics of each component of the single-opening lock cylinder 6, which can conveniently carry and transport lock cylinder 6 components such as lock cylinder, spring, etc. On the contact surface of the tool 7 jig, a buffer device and anti-skid structure are added to avoid damage to precision components due to collision.
[0053] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the driving mechanism 3 is responsible for providing power for the circulating conveying mechanism 2, and its stability directly affects the running efficiency and reliability of the conveying device. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 adopts a chain transmission system, which is suitable for high-demand automated production lines due to its high efficiency and reliability. The driving mechanism 3 can also be replaced by a belt transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, etc., according to different scenes and conditions.
[0054] The driving mechanism 3 includes a chain transmission structure, which includes a driving motor 31, and the output end of the driving motor 31 is provided with a chain 32, and the other end of the chain 32 is rotatably provided on a driven member 33 at one end of the second slide 22. The stable operation of the chain 32 ensures the continuous conveying of the tool 7 jig. The chain 32 has high durability, high transmission efficiency, and can withstand large loads, which is suitable for large-scale production requirements. The speed of the motor and the tension of the chain 32 are calculated in detail to ensure that the tool 7 jig moves smoothly at an appropriate speed.
[0055] The power of the driving motor 31 is closely related to the load, and in actual application, the power of the motor or the speed of the motor controlled by the frequency converter can be flexibly adjusted according to the scale and demand of the production line to meet different process requirements. This design not only improves the stability of the system, but also can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual production process, further optimizing the production efficiency.
[0056] As shown in Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, the core role of the switching mechanism 4 is to realize the switching of the tooling 7 fixture between the first slide 21 and the second slide 22, to ensure that the tooling 7 fixture can smoothly and stably complete the round trip cycle. The switching mechanism 4 adopts a design combining the lifting assembly 42 and the horizontal moving assembly 41, ensuring efficient and accurate switching process. The movement of the tooling 7 on the first slide 21 is mainly through extrusion between the toolings 7, and the movement of the tooling 7 on the second slide 22 is mainly through conveying, so it is required that the horizontal motor 411 of at least one horizontal moving assembly 42 on both sides of the circulating conveying mechanism 2 needs to be designed with larger power or better load. In addition to the switching function, the horizontal moving assembly 42 also needs to push the tooling on the first slide 21 to move.
[0057] The lifting assembly 42 is designed to realize the vertical lifting function of the tooling 7 fixture. By driving the lifting platform with a vertical cylinder 422, the tooling 7 fixture can be precisely lifted from the plane of the first slide 21 or the second slide 22 to the plane of the other slide, avoiding the jamming problem caused by height misalignment in traditional equipment. The cylinder of the lifting assembly 42 adopts a high-precision guide system to ensure the stability and accuracy of the tooling 7 fixture. The lifting assembly 42 also includes an upper top plate 425 and a lower bottom plate 421, and a guide rod 423 is arranged between the upper top plate 425 and the lower bottom plate 421 to facilitate the sliding of the support 424.
[0058] The use of the lifting assembly 42 improves the flexibility of the entire conveying device, so that the system can adapt to the needs of different production links, and the tooling 7 fixture can move smoothly between different processes. This design is particularly suitable for production lines that require multiple processes to be completed alternately, effectively improving the space utilization of the production line.
[0059] The horizontal moving assembly 41 includes a support column 412 fixedly provided with a horizontal cylinder 411 for horizontal pushing. The horizontal moving assembly 41 is used to accurately push the lifted tooling 7 fixture to another slide. The horizontal cylinder 411 pushes the horizontal movement of the tooling 7 fixture, ensuring the smoothness of each switching operation. The design of the horizontal moving assembly 41 makes the positioning of the tooling 7 fixture more accurate, reducing production disturbances or downtime caused by inaccurate switching.
[0060] As shown in the drawings, in order to improve the space adaptability and flexibility of the conveying device in the production line, the layout and adjustability of the equipment are also optimized: Figure 3
[0061] The spatial layout of the second slide 22 is set vertically below the first slide 21, which effectively saves vertical space, improves the space utilization of the production line, and avoids the problem of occupying too much ground space by the conveying equipment in traditional design. This design is particularly suitable for production environments with limited space, maximizing the use of available space on the production line while ensuring stable operation of the equipment. The horizontal setting of the second slide 22 is close to one side of the first slide 21. This layout design can be chosen as a practical situation, with the advantages of good adaptability, high flexibility, and providing diversified choices.
[0062] The design of the adjustment block 5 allows the production line to adjust the height of the second slide 22 according to different production needs to adapt to the conveying needs of different tooling 7 jigs. This adjustment function greatly enhances the flexibility of the conveying device, enabling it to adapt to tooling 7 jigs of different sizes and specifications, and improves the versatility of the production line.
[0063] Through the above design, the conveying device has the following significant advantages:
[0064] Improving production efficiency: Optimized conveying path and efficient drive system ensure that tooling 7 jigs can be transported stably and quickly, avoiding production bottlenecks caused by unreasonable space layout or complex transmission system in traditional conveying devices.
[0065] Reducing maintenance costs: The chain drive system simplifies the transmission structure, reduces failure points, and reduces the failure rate of the equipment. In addition, the modular design makes the maintenance of the equipment more convenient, reducing maintenance costs and cycles.
[0066] Improving system flexibility and adaptability: The design of the switching mechanism 4, the adjustment block 5, and the adjustable height greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system, enabling it to quickly adapt to changes in production needs and different specifications of tooling 7 jigs.
[0067] Saving space and optimizing layout: Through vertical slide design and compact layout, the system saves the floor area of the production line while ensuring the efficient operation of each component, optimizing the overall space usage.
[0068] The working process of the single-opening lock core 6 tooling 7 conveying device aims to ensure that the tooling 7 jigs can be efficiently and stably transported on the production line, completing the conveying task from one process to the next, ensuring the smoothness and automation of the entire production process. The working process includes steps such as circulating transportation, tooling 7 switching, drive control, and conveying path optimization, and the specific process is as follows:
[0069] 1. Tooling 7 jig loading
[0070] At the starting position of the production line, the tooling 7 jigs are loaded into the starting end of the first slide 21 or the second slide 22. During the loading process, the tooling 7 jigs are fixed in the slide and are ready to enter the circulating conveying stage. According to the needs of the production line, the tooling 7 jigs can start circulating from any one slide.
[0071] 2. Circulating conveying
[0072] The tooling 7 jigs move along the set path on the slide through the power provided by the driving mechanism 3. At this time, the tooling 7 jigs are sequentially conveyed forward on the first slide 21 or the second slide 22.
[0073] Driving mechanism 3: The driving motor 31 transmits power to the conveying device through the chain 32 transmission system, which drives the tooling 7 jigs to move stably along the slide. The stability of the driving system ensures that the tooling 7 jigs can circulate smoothly at the set speed.
[0074] Slide design: The slide is designed as a low-friction structure, and the tooling 7 jigs slide smoothly on the slide without being prone to jamming or sliding smoothly.
[0075] 3. Tooling 7 switching preparation
[0076] When the tooling 7 jigs reach the end of the circulating conveying and enter the working range of the switching mechanism 4, the switching mechanism 4 starts to work. The switching mechanism 4 is located at the two ends of the first slide 21 and the second slide 22, and is symmetrically arranged to ensure that the tooling 7 jigs can be switched between the two slides.
[0077] Lifting assembly 42: The lifting assembly 42 is driven by the vertical cylinder 422 to lift the tooling 7 jigs from the current slide plane to another slide plane. At this time, the tooling 7 jigs can be transferred from the first slide 21 to the second slide 22, or vice versa, transferring the tooling 7 jigs from the second slide 22 to the first slide 21.
[0078] 4. Transverse movement and positioning
[0079] After lifting, the tooling 7 jigs enter the action range of the transverse movement assembly 41. The transverse movement assembly 41 pushes the tooling 7 jigs to move horizontally through the horizontal cylinder 411, ensuring that the tooling 7 jigs are accurately pushed to the position of the target slide.
[0080] Tooling 7 jig pushing: The horizontal cylinder 411 pushes the tooling 7 jigs to accurately position on the slide. According to the needs, the tooling 7 jigs can be pushed to the first slide 21 or the second slide 22 and continue to circulate.
[0081] 5. Continue circulating
[0082] After switching, the tooling 7 fixture continues to forward along the new slide. In the cycle process, the tooling 7 fixture continuously goes back and forth between the two slides to complete the transmission task of each production process.
[0083] The slide alternation: the operation direction of the first slide 21 and the second slide 22 is opposite, which ensures the efficient transmission of the tooling 7 fixture in the cycle process and avoids the stagnation or jamming phenomenon of the tooling 7 fixture in the transmission process.
[0084] In summary, by reasonably optimizing the structure design, the driving system and the layout mode, the deficiencies in the existing conveying device are solved, and the efficiency, flexibility and maintainability of the automatic production line are improved.
[0085] The utility model is described above in conjunction with the drawings, obviously, the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited by the above-mentioned mode, as long as various non-essential improvements of the method concept and the technical scheme of the utility model are adopted, or the concept and the technical scheme of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, all are within the protection scope of the utility model.
