Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding slide rails, specifically an automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds. Background Technology
[0002] In today's automotive manufacturing industry, with increasingly fierce market competition and ever-increasing demands for product quality and production efficiency, automated production has become an inevitable trend. Consumer demand for automobiles is constantly growing, while also placing higher demands on quality, performance, and cost. This is prompting automakers to continuously seek more advanced and efficient production technologies and equipment. To remain competitive in the global market, automotive manufacturers need to reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, ensure consistent product quality, and shorten production cycles.
[0003] In the early stages of automotive parts manufacturing, mold feeding relied primarily on manual operation. Operators had to manually move automotive parts from the storage area to the mold, a method that was inefficient and highly susceptible to human error. The speed of manual feeding depended on the worker's skill level and workload, making it difficult to maintain a stable feeding rate. Furthermore, prolonged periods of high-intensity labor could lead to worker fatigue, further impacting work efficiency.
[0004] In terms of precision, manual feeding has a larger error. Due to the limited strength and operational precision of humans, it is difficult to accurately deliver the parts to the designated position in the mold. This will cause deviations in the parts during subsequent processing and affect the quality of the final product.
[0005] Labor costs are also rising. For large-scale production, the large amount of manpower input not only increases production costs, but may also affect production progress in the event of labor shortages or unstable manpower. To address this, we have proposed an automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds, which solves the aforementioned problems.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds, comprising two strip tracks, each of which is slidably provided with a slide block, the slide blocks on both sides being connected by a support plate, the support plate being provided with a driving structure, and the slide block being provided with a limiting structure.
[0010] Preferably, the drive structure includes a motor and a drive wheel. The motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide, and the drive wheel is located inside the slide. The output shaft of the motor passes through the slide and is fixedly connected to the drive wheel. A side groove is provided on the side of the strip track, and one side of the drive wheel extends into the inside of the side groove and is in contact with the inner wall of the side groove.
[0011] Preferably, one side of the strip track is integrally formed with a side protrusion, and a top strip groove is formed at the bottom of the side protrusion. The slide block is integrally formed with a protruding strip at the position corresponding to the top strip groove, and the protruding strip is slidably engaged with the top strip groove.
[0012] Preferably, multiple sets of insertion holes are equidistantly provided on the strip track, and a circular hole is provided at the insertion end position of the slide corresponding to the limiting structure. The insertion end of the limiting structure passes through the circular hole and is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole.
[0013] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a cylinder mounting bracket, a limiting cylinder, and a plug-in limiting rod. The cylinder mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the slide block. The limiting cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder mounting bracket. The plug-in limiting rod is fixedly installed on the lower end of the limiting cylinder. The plug-in limiting rod passes through a circular hole and is plugged into a corresponding plug-in hole.
[0014] Preferably, the top two sides of the support plate are integrally formed with rectangular plates.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds, which has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds, through the coordinated operation of the motor and drive wheels in the drive structure, achieves automatic lateral displacement of the support plate, enabling rapid transportation of automotive parts to designated positions. Compared with traditional manual feeding methods, it greatly improves feeding speed, reduces part waiting time, and thus accelerates the entire production cycle of automotive parts mold processing, meeting the needs of large-scale production.
[0018] 2. This automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds allows the device to quickly prepare for the next feeding after completing one feeding cycle through simple operations (such as starting the motor and the limit cylinder). This reduces production interruption time caused by the feeding process, improves equipment efficiency, makes the entire production process smoother, and increases output per unit time.
[0019] 3. This automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds features a slide block that slides on a strip track. The sliding engagement between the raised strip and the top strip groove, along with the rolling engagement of the drive wheel within the side groove, ensures stable movement of the slide block, avoiding deviations that may occur with traditional manual feeding. This allows automotive parts on the support plate to be accurately transported to the mold, improving feeding accuracy and providing precise part positioning for subsequent mold processing steps.
[0020] 4. This automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds features a limit cylinder that drives a limit rod to insert into the insertion hole of the strip track after the support plate delivers the part to the designated position. This precisely limits the position of the slide block, ensuring the fixed position of the support plate after feeding and guaranteeing the stability of the feeding process. This limiting method avoids affecting the processing accuracy due to the movement of the support plate during subsequent feeding or processing operations, helping to ensure the consistency of automotive parts quality.
[0021] 5. The automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds eliminates the heavy labor of manually handling automotive parts, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and allows workers to focus on other production processes, such as quality inspection and equipment monitoring. This improves work efficiency and also reduces fatigue and safety risks caused by prolonged high-intensity labor.
[0022] 6. The automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds features integrated rectangular plates on both sides of the top of the support plate, which prevents automotive parts from falling off the sides of the support plate during transportation.

[0023] 7. This automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds can adjust the position of the slide block, the size of the support plate, and the parameters of the drive structure and limit structure to a certain extent according to different automotive parts molds and production requirements. This allows it to adapt to the feeding needs of automotive parts of different sizes and weights, and has a certain degree of versatility and adaptability. It reduces the need for major adjustments or replacements of the feeding equipment due to product changes, and improves the flexibility of equipment use. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 An automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds includes two strip tracks 1, each with a sliding block 3 slidably mounted on it. The sliding blocks 3 on both sides are connected by a support plate 5. A drive structure 4 is mounted on the support plate 5, and a limit structure is mounted on the sliding block 3. When automotive parts need to be transported, the automotive parts are placed on the support plate 5. Then, the drive structure 4 is activated to move the sliding block 3 on the strip track 1, which in turn moves the support plate 5 laterally to achieve feeding. After feeding is completed, the limit structure is activated to limit and fix the position of the sliding block 3, making it easy to load materials.
[0031] Furthermore, the drive structure 4 includes a motor 6 and a drive wheel 7. The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide 3, and the drive wheel 7 is located inside the slide 3. The output shaft of the motor 6 passes through the slide 3 and is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 7. A side groove 11 is provided on the side of the strip track 1. One side of the drive wheel 7 extends into the inside of the side groove 11 and keeps in contact with the inner wall of the side groove 11. When the slide 3 needs to be displaced, the motor 6 is started, and the motor 6 drives the drive wheel 7 to rotate. Then the drive wheel 7 rolls along the inner wall of the side groove 11, driving the support plate 5 to move.
[0032] Furthermore, one side of the strip track 1 is integrally formed with a side protrusion 8, and a top strip groove 9 is provided at the bottom of the side protrusion 8. The slide block 3 is integrally formed with a protrusion 10 at the position corresponding to the top strip groove 9, and the protrusion 10 is slidably engaged with the top strip groove 9.
[0033] Furthermore, multiple sets of insertion holes 2 are equally spaced on the strip track 1, and a circular hole 14 is provided at the insertion end position of the slide block 3 corresponding to the limiting structure. The insertion end of the limiting structure passes through the circular hole 14 and is inserted together with the corresponding insertion hole 2.
[0034] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a cylinder mounting bracket 12, a limiting cylinder 13, and a plug-in limiting rod 15. The cylinder mounting bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the slide block 3. The limiting cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder mounting bracket 12. The plug-in limiting rod 15 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the limiting cylinder 13. The plug-in limiting rod 15 passes through the circular hole 14 and is plugged into the corresponding plug-in hole 2. When the bearing plate 5 is laterally displaced to the designated position, the motor 6 stops running. At this time, the limiting cylinder 13 starts, and then the output shaft moves downward, driving the plug-in limiting rod 15 to extend downward. Then the plug-in limiting rod 15 passes through the circular hole 14 and is plugged into the corresponding plug-in hole 2, thus limiting the position of the slide block 3 and keeping the position of the bearing plate 5 locked, which facilitates subsequent stable feeding.
[0035] Furthermore, rectangular plates are integrally formed on both sides of the top of the support plate 5. The rectangular plates can prevent automotive parts from falling off the sides of the support plate 5 when they are placed on the surface of the support plate 5.
[0036] Structural Description:
[0037] Bar track 1:
[0038] It is the basic component of the entire device, providing track support for the sliding of slide 3.
[0039] One side is integrally formed with a side protrusion 8, and the bottom of the side protrusion 8 is provided with a top strip groove 9. This design cooperates with the protrusion strip 10 on the slide block 3, so that the slide block 3 can slide stably on the strip track 1, ensuring positioning and guidance during the sliding process.
[0040] Multiple sets of insertion holes 2 are provided at equal intervals to cooperate with the insertion limiting rod 15 in the limiting structure to limit the position of the slide block 3 and fix the position of the bearing plate 5.
[0041] A side groove 11 is provided on the side, which provides a movement path for the drive wheel 7 in the drive structure 4. One side of the drive wheel 7 extends into the side groove 11 and fits against the inner wall. When the drive wheel 7 rotates, it can drive the slide 3 to move along the strip track 1.
[0042] Socket 2:
[0043] The rods are arranged at equal intervals on the strip track 1, serving as the final insertion positions for the plug-in ends of the limiting structure. When the limiting structure is activated, the plug-in limiting rod 15 passes through the circular hole 14 of the slide 3 and inserts into the corresponding plug-in hole 2, thereby locking the position of the slide 3 and fixing the position of the bearing plate 5 to ensure the stability of the entire device during feeding.
[0044] Slide 3:
[0045] The sliding arrangement is on the strip track 1, and the two sides of the sliding base 3 are connected by the support plate 5, which provides a basis for the support plate 5 to move.
[0046] The slide block 3 is provided with a limiting structure, and a circular hole 14 is provided at the insertion end position corresponding to the limiting structure. The circular hole 14 is a moving channel for the insertion limiting rod 15, so that the insertion limiting rod 15 can pass through and cooperate with the insertion hole 2 on the strip track 1.
[0047] The slide block 3 has an integrally formed protrusion 10 corresponding to the top strip groove 9, which slides and engages with the top strip groove 9 of the strip track 1 to ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the slide block 3 during the sliding process.
[0048] Drive structure 4:
[0049] The motor 6 and drive wheel 7 are the power sources that enable the slide 3 and the support plate 5 to move.
[0050] The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide 3, and its output shaft passes through the slide 3 and is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 7. When the motor 6 starts, it will drive the drive wheel 7 to rotate.
[0051] The drive wheel 7 is located inside the slide block 3, and one side of it extends into the side groove 11 of the strip track 1 and fits against the inner wall of the side groove 11. Driven by the motor 6, the drive wheel 7 rolls along the inner wall of the side groove 11, thereby pushing the slide block 3 to slide on the strip track 1, driving the bearing plate 5 to achieve lateral displacement and complete the feeding operation.
[0052] Support plate 5:
[0053] The sliding blocks 3 connecting the two sides are components for placing automotive parts.
[0054] The top two sides are integrally formed with rectangular plates. The function of these rectangular plates is to prevent automotive parts from falling off the sides of the support plate 5 when they are placed on the surface of the support plate 5, thus providing protection and blocking.
[0055] The support plate 5 is equipped with a drive structure 4, which is used to drive its own lateral displacement to complete the feeding operation.
[0056] Motor 6:
[0057] As the power component of the drive structure 4, it is fixedly installed on the top of the slide 3.
[0058] Its output shaft passes through the slide 3 and is connected to the drive wheel 7. The rotation of the output shaft drives the drive wheel 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the feeding action of the entire device.
[0059] Drive wheel 7:
[0060] It is located inside the slide 3 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 6.
[0061] One side extends into the side groove 11 of the strip track 1 and fits against the inner wall. It is driven to rotate by the motor 6 and rolls in the side groove 11, pushing the slide 3 to move along the strip track 1 and driving the support plate 5 to move.
[0062] Side protrusion 8:
[0063] The top strip groove 9, integrally formed on one side of the strip track 1, provides a locking position for the protrusion 10 on the slide block 3, ensuring that the slide block 3 will not deviate when sliding on the strip track 1, thus guaranteeing the stability of the sliding and the positioning accuracy.
[0064] Top strip groove 9:
[0065] The protrusion 8 is located at the bottom of the side protrusion and cooperates with the protrusion 10 of the slide block 3 to provide guidance and positioning for the sliding of the slide block 3, so that the slide block 3 can slide stably on the strip track 1 along a predetermined path.
[0066] Raised strip 10:
[0067] It is integrally formed on the slide block 3 and slides and engages with the top strip groove 9 of the strip track 1. It plays a positioning and guiding role during the sliding of the slide block 3, preventing the slide block 3 from shaking or deviating, and ensuring the stability of the entire device's movement.
[0068] Side groove 11:
[0069] The groove is located on the side of the strip track 1, providing space for the drive wheel 7 to roll. One side of the drive wheel 7 extends into this groove and fits against the inner wall, so that when the drive wheel 7 rotates, it can push the slide block 3 to slide on the strip track 1. This is an important structure for realizing the lateral displacement of the bearing plate 5.
[0070] Cylinder mounting bracket 12:
[0071] It is fixedly installed on the slide block 3 to provide a mounting base for the limit cylinder 13 and ensure that the limit cylinder 13 can be stably installed on the slide block 3.
[0072] Limit cylinder 13:
[0073] It is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder mounting bracket 12 and is the driving component of the limiting structure.
[0074] When the support plate 5 moves to the designated position, the motor 6 stops running, the limit cylinder 13 starts, its output shaft moves downward, driving the plug-in limit rod 15 to extend downward, thus limiting the position of the slide block 3.
[0075] Circular hole 14:
[0076] The insertion end of the sliding block 3 is located on the slide block 3, corresponding to the insertion end of the limiting structure, providing a channel for the movement of the insertion limiting rod 15, so that the insertion limiting rod 15 can pass smoothly through the slide block 3 and be inserted into the insertion hole 2 on the strip track 1, thereby locking the position of the slide block 3.
[0077] Insertion limit rod 15:
[0078] It is fixedly installed at the lower end of the limit cylinder 13 and is the actuator of the limit structure.
[0079] When the limit cylinder 13 is activated, the insertion limit rod 15 will pass through the circular hole 14 and be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 2 on the strip track 1 to limit the position of the slide block 3, ensuring that the bearing plate 5 can remain fixed after feeding is completed, so as to carry out subsequent feeding operations.
[0080] In summary, this automatic feeding slide rail for automotive parts molds has demonstrated numerous beneficial effects in terms of production efficiency, feeding accuracy, labor intensity, safety, structural reliability, versatility, and cost. It helps automotive manufacturers improve production quality and economic benefits, and promotes the automation and modernization of automotive parts production.
