[0051] Example 1
[0052] The universal wheel can rotate freely by 360 degrees in the horizontal direction due to its unique structure, and is widely used in various devices to improve the flexibility and mobility of the devices.
[0053] However, during the installation of the universal wheel, due to its irregular shape, the current method is to manually take and install each universal wheel on the product.
[0054] This traditional manual installation method has many disadvantages: first, the manual operation is inefficient, especially in mass production, which seriously affects the overall production progress; second, employees are prone to fatigue when engaging in such tedious and repetitive work for a long time, which increases the operation error rate; in addition, manual installation also wastes a lot of manpower. Therefore, how to improve the installation efficiency of the universal wheel 4, reduce labor costs, and reduce operation errors has become a problem to be solved.
[0055] To solve the technical problem, the universal wheel 4 automatic storage and feeding device disclosed in the embodiment comprises Figs. 1-6 , which comprises:
[0056] a guide rail 1,
[0057] The guide rail 1 is used for conveying the universal wheel 4,
[0058] a positioning plate 2, the positioning plate 2 is arranged at one end of the guide rail 1, an inlet 3 is formed in the positioning plate 2, the inlet 3 is used for inputting the universal wheel 4, the edge profile of the inlet 3 is the same as the cross-sectional profile of the universal wheel 4, the cross section is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the universal wheel 4, and the guide rail 1 is connected with a pulley 5 of the universal wheel 4,
[0059] The inlet 3 is formed in the positioning plate 2, and the configuration of the inlet 3 is adapted to the configuration of the universal wheel 4, so that the universal wheel 4 is preliminarily positioned before entering the guide rail 1.
[0060] a storage groove 6, the storage groove 6 is arranged at the other end of the guide rail 1, one end of the storage groove 6 close to the positioning plate 2 is an open end 7, the other end of the storage groove 6 away from the positioning plate 2 is a sealed end 8, a top surface of the storage groove 6 is provided with an outlet, and the outlet is used for outputting the universal wheel 4,
[0061] The storage groove 6 is used for storing the positioned universal wheels 4 together, so as to facilitate taking out the positioned universal wheels 4 one by one, wherein the open end 7 receives the positioned universal wheels 4 from the guide rail 1, and the outlet is used for pulling out the positioned universal wheels 4.
[0062] two first rod bodies 9, the two first rod bodies 9 are located above the guide rail 1 and are respectively the same as the length direction of the guide rail 1, and the end portions of the two first rod bodies 9 are connected by a reset elastic component.
[0063] Two first rods 9 are located above the guide rail 1, and the length directions of the two first rods 9 are respectively the same as the length direction of the guide rail 1, so that the two first rods 9 can not only limit the caster 4 from falling from the top, but also make the caster 4 smoothly slide along the guide rail 1.
[0064] Specifically,
[0065] The guide rail 1
[0066] The guide rail 1 is the core component of the entire system, which is used to guide the sliding direction of the caster 4 and ensure that it can move smoothly along the predetermined path. The shape and size of the guide rail 1 should be designed according to the size of the caster 4 and the sliding requirements, so as to ensure good contact and smooth sliding between the caster 4 and the guide rail 1. The guide rail 1 is connected with the pulley 5 of the caster 4 through a connecting structure, which ensures that the caster 4 can stably slide on the guide rail 1.
[0067] The positioning plate 2
[0068] The positioning plate 2 is arranged at one end of the guide rail 1, and a feeding port 3 is formed in the positioning plate 2. The edge profile of the feeding port 3 is the same as the cross-sectional profile of the caster 4, and the cross section is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the caster 4. This design enables the caster 4 to be preliminarily positioned before entering the guide rail 1, ensuring that it can accurately enter the guide rail 1.
[0069] The main function of the positioning plate 2 is to preliminarily position the caster 4 entering the guide rail 1, preventing the caster 4 from deviating or being stuck when entering the guide rail 1.
[0070] The storage groove 6 is arranged at the other end of the guide rail 1, and the end close to the positioning plate 2 is an open end 7 for receiving the caster 4 positioned on the guide rail 1. The end away from the positioning plate 2 is a sealed end 8, and the top surface is provided with a discharge port for outputting the positioned casters 4 one by one.
[0071] The main function of the storage groove 6 is to store the positioned casters 4 together for subsequent individual taking out for use. Two first rods 9 are located above the guide rail 1 and are respectively the same as the length direction of the guide rail 1. The ends of the two first rods 9 are connected by a reset elastic component. This structure design can not only limit the caster 4 from falling from the top, but also will not hinder the caster 4 from smoothly sliding along the guide rail 1. The combination of the first rod 9 and the reset elastic component can play a certain limiting and guiding role for the caster 4. When the caster 4 slides on the guide rail 1, the first rod 9 can prevent it from falling out from above, and the reset elastic component can automatically return to the initial position after the caster 4 passes through, preparing for the next caster 4 to pass through.
[0072] The universal wheel 4 automatic storage feeding device enables the universal wheel 4 to enter the guide rail 1 in a set direction through the feeding port 3 on the positioning plate 2, and the universal wheel 4 slides along the guide rail 1 to the storage groove 6, wherein when the universal wheel 4 is transported on the guide rail 1, the two first rods 9 clamp the upper end of the universal wheel 4 to prevent the universal wheel 4 from being displaced, when the universal wheel 4 is pulled out of the storage groove 6 from the top surface of the discharging port, the two first rods 9 are separated to facilitate the output of the universal wheel 4, and after the universal wheel 4 is pulled out, the two rods are reset to clamp the remaining universal wheel 4, preventing the universal wheel 4 from falling out, realizing the storage of the universal wheel 4 material according to requirements, enabling the universal wheel 4 to be stably positioned and discharged one by one without falling, and improving the assembly efficiency of the universal wheel 4
[0073] In this embodiment, the guide rail 1 includes a first guide rod 10, a second guide rod 11, and a third guide rod 12, which are arranged side by side at the bottom of the positioning plate 2,
[0074] The second guide rod 11 forms a first channel 13 and a second channel 14 with the first guide rod 10 and the third guide rod 12, respectively, and the two pulleys 5 of the universal wheel 4 are slid into the first channel 13 and the second channel 14, respectively.
[0075] The first guide rod 10, the second guide rod 11, and the third guide rod 12 constitute the guide rail 1, wherein the first channel 13 and the second channel 14 formed by the second guide rod 11 and the first guide rod 10 and the third guide rod 12, respectively, facilitate the definition of the pulleys 5 of the universal wheel 4, thereby facilitating the stable sliding of the universal wheel 4 on the guide rail 1.
[0076] Specifically, the guide rail 1 is composed of the first guide rod 10, the second guide rod 11, and the third guide rod 12. These three guide rods are arranged side by side at the bottom of the positioning plate 2, forming an overall guide rail 1 structure.
[0077] The second guide rod 11 forms two channels, namely the first channel 13 and the second channel 14, with the first guide rod 10 and the third guide rod 12, respectively. The size and shape of these two channels should match the size of the pulleys 5 of the universal wheel 4 to ensure that the pulleys 5 can smoothly slide in and stably slide.
[0078] Through this three-rod structure, the two pulleys 5 of the universal wheel 4 are slid into the first channel 13 and the second channel 14, respectively, thereby realizing stable guidance and limiting of the universal wheel 4 and ensuring its smooth sliding on the guide rail 1.
[0079] In this embodiment, the width of the channel is greater than the length of the axle of the universal wheel 4.
[0080] This enables the universal wheel 4 to stably slide into the channel.
[0081] In this embodiment, two first rods 9 are respectively left with a gap from the universal wheels 4 sliding on the guide rail 1, specifically, the gap is a 0.1mm gap, facilitating the sliding of the pulley 5 of the universal wheel 4
[0082] In this embodiment, two second rods 15 are also included,
[0083] The two second rods 15 are located on the first rod 9 and are in the same length direction as the first rod 9. The universal wheel 4 is provided with a rotating rod 16, the rotating rod 16 faces away from the guide rail 1, and the two second rods 15 are close to both sides of the rotating rod 16.
[0084] The second rod 15 is located above the first rod 9 and close to both sides of the rotating rod 16, which can further limit the universal wheel 4 and prevent the universal wheel 4 from changing position.
[0085] Specifically,
[0086] The two second rods 15 are located above the first rod 9 and are in the same length direction as the first rod 9. The universal wheel 4 is provided with a rotating rod 16, the rotating rod 16 faces away from the guide rail 1, and the two second rods 15 are close to both sides of the rotating rod 16.
[0087] The main function of the second rod 15 is to further limit the position of the universal wheel 4 and prevent the universal wheel 4 from changing position during sliding. By setting the second rod 15 on both sides of the rotating rod 16, the rotation and lateral movement of the universal wheel 4 can be effectively limited, ensuring smooth sliding on the guide rail 1.
[0088] In this embodiment, the end of the second rod 15 is connected to the opening end 7 of the storage tank 6.
[0089] Since the end of the second rod 15 is connected to the opening end 7 of the storage tank 6, the second rod 15 is not inserted into the storage tank 6, avoiding the second rod 15 hindering the universal wheel 4 in the storage tank 6 from being pulled out of the discharge port.
[0090] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 17 is provided above the opening end 7 of the storage tank 6, and the limiting plate 17 is provided with an avoiding opening for the rotating rod 16 to pass through.
[0091] The limiting plate 17 is located at the opening end 7 of the storage tank 6, so that the universal wheel 4 can be further limited before entering the storage tank 6, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the universal wheel 4, and the avoiding opening prevents the rotating rod 16 from touching the limiting plate 17, causing the universal wheel 4 to shift.
[0092] In this embodiment, the reset elastic assembly includes two waist holes 18,
[0093] Two said waist holes 18 are arranged on the sealed end 8 of the storage groove 6, and the length direction of the waist hole 18 extends to both sides of the length direction of the guide rail 1. The ends of the two first rod bodies 9 respectively pass through the two waist holes 18, and the ends of the two first rod bodies 9 are connected by the elastic spring 19.
[0094] Since the length direction of the waist hole extends to both sides of the length direction of the guide rail 1, and the two first rod bodies 9 are connected by the elastic spring 19, when the universal wheel 4 is pulled out of the discharge port, the two first rod bodies 9 are displaced, so that the universal wheel 4 can be output from the discharge port. After the output of the universal wheel 4 is completed, the two first rod bodies 9 are reset under the pulling of the elastic spring 19 and re-clamp the universal wheel 4, preventing the universal wheel 4 from falling out.
[0095] Specifically, the two first rod bodies 9 are located above the guide rail 1, and the length direction of the guide rail 1 is the same.
[0096] Two said waist holes 18 are arranged on the sealed end 8 of the storage groove 6, and the length direction of the waist hole 18 extends to both sides of the length direction of the guide rail 1. The ends of the two first rod bodies 9 respectively pass through the two waist holes 18, and the ends of the two first rod bodies 9 are connected by the elastic spring 19.
[0097] When the universal wheel 4 is pulled out of the discharge port, the two first rod bodies 9 can be displaced outward under the action of the elastic spring 19, so that the universal wheel 4 can smoothly pass through the discharge port.
[0098] When the output of the universal wheel 4 is completed, the two first rod bodies 9 are automatically reset under the pulling of the elastic spring 19, re-clamp the universal wheel 4, and prevent the universal wheel 4 from falling out of the guide rail 1.
[0099] In the embodiment, the bottom of the storage groove 6 is provided with a magnetic block 20, and the magnetic block 20 is used for magnetically attracting the universal wheel 4.
[0100] The magnetic block 20 can magnetically attract the universal wheel 4, so that the universal wheel 4 is stably stored in the storage groove 6.
[0101] In the embodiment, the guide rail 1 is inclinedly arranged, the positioning plate 2 is located at the inclinedly rising end, and the storage groove 6 is located at the inclinedly descending end.
[0102] The guide rail 1 is arranged to be inclined, so that under the action of gravity, the universal wheel 4 slides from one end of the positioning plate 2 into the storage groove 6, thereby saving energy consumption.
[0103] Embodiment 2
[0104] In order to further illustrate the use method of the universal wheel 4 automatic storage and feeding device of the application, the following contents are disclosed on the basis of embodiment 1:
[0105] The working process of the universal wheel 4 automatic storage feeding device is as follows:
[0106] The guide rail 1 is installed on an inclined support, and the inclination angle is 45 degrees horizontally upward.
[0107] The universal wheels 4 are manually input one by one along the feeding port 3 on the positioning plate 2 to the guide rail 1,
[0108] The universal wheels 4 slide downward along the guide rail 1 under the action of gravity until the storage groove 6, at this time the universal wheels 4 are adsorbed on the bottom of the storage groove 6 under the action of the strong magnet of the magnetic block 20, at this time the two sides of the pulley 5 of the universal wheel 4 are close to the first rod body 9 of the left and right clamping rods, and there is a gap of 0.1 mm with the first rod body 9, which facilitates the wheel to slide down.
[0109] When the second and third universal wheels 4 fall and contact the first and second universal wheels 4, they will be pressed tightly by the second rod body 15 and the limiting plate 17 to prevent jumping out.
[0110] When the first universal wheel 4 is pulled out in the direction of the extension of its rotating rod 16, the pulley 5 of the universal wheel 4 will extrude the first rod body 9, and the first rod body 9 will be separated to the two sides until the first universal wheel 4 is taken out, at this time, under the pulling of the elastic spring 19, the first rod body 9 prevents the second universal wheel 4 from flying out directly when it falls and is positioned. The universal wheel 4 storage and positioning scheme can provide stable and efficient material storage and supply for other equipment, and can replace traditional manual positioning production to realize production efficiency improvement.
