Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ring-shaped iron part feeding device, belonging to the field of compressor piping assembly technology. Background Technology

[0002] When assembling copper pipes in compressor piping, the surface of the copper pipe is usually knurled first. Then, the knurled pattern is used to assemble the silver ring and the annular iron part. Finally, the annular iron part is tightly assembled onto the copper pipe through welding. Because this assembly method is complex, the copper pipe is usually picked up manually and processed step by step on various machines. However, this method is inefficient and requires multiple people to work on different machines at the same time to ensure production efficiency. Therefore, an automated copper pipe assembly scheme has been proposed to improve the automation coverage of production, thereby improving assembly efficiency and operational safety.

[0003] Traditionally, due to the disordered and chaotic state of the material storage for ring-shaped iron parts, manual screening and installation of the ring-shaped iron parts are usually carried out by manually judging their orientation. This results in low automation coverage and waste of manpower. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a ring iron feeding device for automatically feeding disordered ring iron parts, thereby transforming the ring iron parts from a disordered state into an ordered preparation state for installation. Automatic preparation of ring iron parts can be achieved without manual intervention, improving the automation coverage of the equipment and reducing the labor burden of personnel.

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

[0006] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron feeding device, including a vibratory feeder, a pushing mechanism, a receiving mechanism, and a discharge mechanism disposed at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder. The discharge mechanism includes an inclined discharge pipe, the inner cavity of which is connected to the discharge port of the vibratory feeder. The inner cavity of the discharge pipe is inclined downward away from the vibratory feeder. The bottom of the discharge pipe has an opening that extends laterally through the inner cavity. The pushing mechanism includes a first driving device and a pushing pipe. The first driving device is used to drive the pushing pipe to slide along its axial direction. The pushing pipe can pass through the opening and push the material located at the bottom of the discharge pipe out from the side. The receiving mechanism is used to pick up the pushed material and wait for supply.

[0007] Specifically, the discharge pipe is configured as a U-shaped plate with a sealed bottom, and a cover plate is installed on the top of the discharge pipe.

[0008] Specifically, the receiving mechanism further includes a second driving device and a fastening ring disposed at the output end of the second driving device. The second driving device is used to drive the fastening ring to approach or move away from the bottom end of the discharge pipe so that the fastening ring can be located at the discharge port position of the bottom opening of the discharge pipe. The fastening ring and the pusher pipe are distributed on both sides of the bottom opening of the discharge pipe. The fastening ring is provided with an arc-shaped notch for placing materials at the middle position on the side of the discharge pipe closer to the discharge pipe.

[0009] Specifically, it also includes a photoelectric sensor, and the end of the fastening ring is provided with a hollowed-out groove that passes through the arc notch, so that the light source of the photoelectric sensor can pass through the hollowed-out groove.

[0010] Specifically, the depth of the arc notch is equal to the thickness of the ejected material.

[0011] Specifically, it also includes a machine base and an assembly table set on the machine base. The assembly table is provided with a mold for clamping copper tubes. An installation frame is slidably set on the machine base. The machine base is also provided with a third driving device for driving the installation frame away from the discharge mechanism. An installation block is slidably mounted on the installation frame. The fastening ring is installed at the end of the installation block. The second driving device is fixedly set on the installation frame for driving the installation block to move towards or away from the mold.

[0012] Specifically, the assembly table is disc-shaped, and multiple sets of molds are arranged in a circumferential array on the upper surface of the assembly table. The machine base is also equipped with a fourth driving device for driving the assembly table to rotate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention transforms disordered annular iron parts into an ordered state for material storage and preparation by setting up a vibratory feeder and a feeding mechanism. By setting up a pushing mechanism and a receiving mechanism in conjunction, the annular iron parts at the bottom of the preparation area are pushed out for receiving and placing, thereby realizing an automatic feeding method that transforms disordered annular iron parts into an ordered one. This is beneficial to improving the automation coverage of the equipment and reducing the labor burden of personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example:

[0026] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron component feeding device for automatically feeding disordered ring-shaped iron components, thereby transforming them from a disordered state into an ordered preparation state awaiting installation. Automatic preparation of ring-shaped iron components can be achieved without manual intervention, increasing the automation coverage of the equipment and reducing the labor burden on personnel. To realize the structural functions of the device, it includes a vibratory feeder 1, a pushing mechanism, a receiving mechanism, and a discharge mechanism 2 located at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 1. The vibratory feeder 1 is used to select ring-shaped iron components with suitable placement orientations based on their properties and supply the selected ring-shaped iron components to the discharge end. To achieve orderly and automated discharge and preparation of ring-shaped iron components, the discharge mechanism 2 includes an inclined discharge pipe 201, which can be referred to... Figure 6 As shown, the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 201 is positioned opposite the outlet of the vibrating plate 1 (the docking method is not shown in the diagram), and the inner cavity of the discharge pipe 201 is inclined downwards away from the vibrating plate 1 so that the discharge pipe 201 can automatically and orderly discharge the annular iron piece downwards into the inner cavity after receiving it. To facilitate the picking up and waiting for installation of individual annular iron pieces, a transverse opening penetrating the inner cavity can be provided at the bottom of the discharge pipe 201, and a pushing mechanism including a first driving device 3 and a pushing pipe 4 can be provided. Figure 4 As shown, the first driving device 3 drives the pusher tube 4 to slide along its axis. The pusher tube 4 can pass through the opening and push the material at the bottom of the discharge tube 201 out from the side. At this time, the receiving mechanism is used to pick up the pushed material and wait to supply it to the installation position. Through the above mechanism, the annular iron parts can be sorted from a disordered and messy state to an orderly arrangement of materials. The method of use is convenient and reliable. The material preparation of the annular iron parts can be completed automatically without manual intervention, which is conducive to improving the automation coverage of the equipment and reducing the labor burden of personnel. In order to facilitate the observation of whether there is a blockage in the material of the annular iron parts during the feeding process, the discharge tube 201 can be set as a U-shaped plate with a sealed bottom. The annular iron parts can be directly supplied by rolling down from the middle U-shaped groove. In order to prevent impurities from affecting the material channel of the annular iron parts, a cover plate 202 can be installed above the discharge tube 201 to protect the U-shaped groove. When a blockage occurs, the cover plate 202 can be removed for maintenance.

[0027] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron feeding device. To facilitate receiving the ring-shaped iron, the receiving mechanism further includes a second driving device 6 and a fastening ring 5 disposed at the output end of the second driving device 6. Figure 4As shown, the second driving device 6 is used to drive the fastening ring 5 closer to or further away from the bottom end of the discharge pipe 201 so that the fastening ring 5 can be located at the discharge port position of the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 201. At this time, the fastening ring 5 and the pusher pipe 4 are distributed on both sides of the bottom opening of the discharge pipe 201. The pusher pipe 4 is used to push material from one side, while the fastening ring 5 is used to receive the ejected annular iron piece. For this purpose, an arc-shaped notch for placing material is provided in the middle position of the fastening ring 5 near the discharge pipe 201, which is used to accurately provide the material's snap-fit ​​position when the material is ejected. When the material is ejected, the second driving device 6 moves closer to the discharge port position. During the ejection process, the pusher pipe 4 forms an insertion action to block the annular iron piece behind. After the ejection action is completed, the second driving device 6 drives the fastening ring 5 away from the discharge mechanism 2, thereby realizing that the fastening ring 5 removes the annular iron piece for assembly.

[0028] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron feeding device. To detect whether material is stuck on the fastening ring 5 before assembly, the device also includes a photoelectric sensor 14. Specifically, a through-hole groove with a circular arc notch is provided at the end of the fastening ring 5, and the light source of the photoelectric sensor 14 is positioned so that it can pass through the groove to detect whether material is present on the fastening ring 5. In a preferred embodiment, the depth of the circular arc notch can be set equal to the thickness of the ejected material to ensure that the snapped ring-shaped iron part is accurately fitted into the designated position.

[0029] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron feeding device, specifically a mechanism for automatically assembling ring-shaped iron parts. Specifically, the device includes a machine base 10 and an assembly table 11 mounted on the machine base 10. The assembly table 11 has a mold 13 for clamping copper pipes. The clamped copper pipes already have silver solder rings attached, ready for iron part installation. To allow the ring-shaped iron part to fit onto the copper pipes, a mounting frame 7 is slidably mounted on the machine base 10. A third driving device 9 is also provided on the machine base 10 to drive the mounting frame 7 away from the discharge mechanism 2. An mounting block 8 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 7, and a fastening ring 5 is mounted on the end of the mounting block 8. Figure 1 As shown, the second driving device 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 7 to drive the mounting block 8 to move towards or away from the mold 13. With this configuration, the third driving device 9 can drive the annular iron piece away from the discharge mechanism 2, preventing the discharge mechanism 2 from obstructing the assembly. During assembly, the second driving device 6 drives the mounting block 8 forward as a whole, directly placing the positioned annular iron piece onto the outer surface of the copper tube. To ensure the fitting depth meets requirements, a snap ring 5 and a hole with a diameter slightly larger than the copper tube can be provided on the mounting block 8, allowing the copper tube at the end of the annular iron piece to be inserted during fitting, ensuring sufficient insertion depth.

[0030] This utility model provides a ring-shaped iron part feeding device. To improve automated assembly efficiency, the assembly table 11 can be set in a disc shape. In this case, multiple sets of molds 13 can be set, and the multiple sets of molds 13 are arranged in a circumferential array on the upper surface of the assembly table 11, such as... Figure 1 As shown, by providing a fourth drive device 12 (such as a servo motor or a hollow cup motor) on the machine tool 10 for driving the assembly table 11 to rotate, the position of the copper tube to be assembled can be automatically switched by rotation, thereby effectively improving the automated assembly efficiency of the copper tube.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
