Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal parts processing technology, and more specifically, to a feeding mechanism for automotive metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive metal parts refer to the metal parts that make up automobile components. During the production of automotive metal parts, various processes are required to obtain automotive metal parts that can be assembled. In the process of processing automotive metal parts, a loading mechanism is needed to load and transport the metal parts to be processed to the designated workstation.

[0003] However, there are various types of feeding devices in the existing technology. For example, utility model patent CN211418612U relates to a feeding device for automobile parts production. This utility model includes a frame, a base, and a table. A first bracket is fixedly installed at one end of the base. The top of the first bracket is rotatably installed on one side of the outer surface of the frame. A second bracket is rotatably installed on the other side of the outer surface of the frame. A threaded rod is connected to the bottom end of the second bracket. A nut is engaged on the surface of the threaded rod. One end of the threaded rod is inserted into the inside of a sleeve. A bracket is provided on one side of the frame. One end of the bracket is inserted into the inside of a slot. The slot is opened on both sides of the placement opening, and the placement opening is fixedly installed on the top surface of the table. This utility model changes the traditional conveyor belt so that one end can be placed at an angle. In this way, the automobile parts conveyed on its surface can be raised to a higher position, then slid through rollers to the placement opening on one side of the table, providing a temporary placement position for workers to process step by step, reducing the phenomenon of being overwhelmed and providing breathing room.

[0004] Although the feeding device provides a temporary placement location to facilitate step-by-step processing and offers a respite, the irregular shape of automotive parts causes them to roll on the conveyor belt during the feeding and conveying process. Due to the lack of a guiding and blocking structure, the metal parts may deviate from their path during transport and easily detach from the feeding process, resulting in damage. To avoid this phenomenon, it is essential to design a feeding mechanism for automotive metal parts. Summary of the Invention

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for automotive metal parts, which is accomplished by the following specific technical means:

[0007] A feeding mechanism for automotive metal parts includes mounting brackets, two mounting brackets symmetrically distributed, a conveying assembly between the two mounting brackets, support plates fixedly connected to each mounting bracket, and the two support plates symmetrically distributed. Guide grooves are formed on the support plates, and two sliders are slidably installed inside the guide grooves.

[0008] Preferably, an electric push rod is installed on one side of the support plate, and one end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to one of the sliders. The two sliders in the guide groove are a group, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected between each group of sliders.

[0009] Preferably, a bearing plate is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two mounting brackets, and a guide plate is fixedly connected between the two bearing plates, with a buffer pad provided on the guide plate.

[0010] Preferably, a discharge plate is fixedly connected between the two support plates, and the discharge plate is inclined. A storage box is provided below the discharge plate, and the bottom of the guide plate extends into the storage box.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes a drive shaft, a conveying roller, and a conveyor belt.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the loading mechanism for automotive metal parts in this embodiment. The loading mechanism in this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 1. Two mounting brackets 1 are symmetrically distributed. Multiple drive shafts 201 are arranged between the two mounting brackets 1 through bearings, and the multiple drive shafts 201 are evenly spaced. Conveying rollers 202 are coaxially arranged on the surface of the drive shafts 201. A conveyor belt 203 is sleeved on the surface of the multiple conveying rollers 202, and the conveyor belt 203 is located between the two mounting brackets 1. In order to load automotive metal parts, the rotating drive shaft 201 drives one of the conveying rollers 202 to roll. Through the transmission of the conveyor belt 203, the multiple conveying rollers 202 can drive the conveyor belt 203 to move, thereby using the set conveyor belt 203 to transport automotive metal parts.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, support plates 3 are fixedly connected to both mounting brackets 1, and the two support plates 3 are symmetrically distributed. Guide grooves 4 are provided on the support plates 3, and two sliders 5 are slidably installed inside the guide grooves 4. Two sets of fixed brackets 6 are provided on the top of the mounting brackets 1. The fixed brackets 6 are inverted U-shaped, and rotating columns 7 are installed inside the fixed brackets 6 via bearings. Transmission gears 8 are coaxially mounted on the surface of the rotating columns 7. Slider 5 is provided with racks 9, and the racks 9 mesh with the corresponding transmission gears 8. A connecting sleeve 10 is fitted onto the surface of the rotating columns 7, and a movable lever 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting sleeve 10. An electric push rod 12 is installed on one side of the support plate 3, and one end of the electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected to one of the sliders 5. The two sliders 5 in the guide grooves 4 form a group, and each group of sliders 5... A connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected between them. When the automotive metal parts are dispersed and deviate from the path during loading and transportation, the two electric push rods 12 are controlled. The ends of the telescopic electric push rods 12 drive the slider 5 to slide back and forth in the guide groove 4. The rack 9 moves with the slider 5. Through the transmission of the rack 9 and the transmission gear 8, the translating rack 9 drives the transmission gear 8 to rotate. Since the rotating column 7 is rotatable, the transmission gear 8 can make the sleeved rotating column 7 rotate. The movable baffle 11 is fixed to the surface of the rotating column 7. The movable baffle 11, which swings back and forth, pushes the deviated automotive metal parts to the middle position of the conveyor belt 203, so that the metal parts are always transported along the middle path. This prevents the automotive metal parts from deviating from the loading path and avoids the metal parts from falling out of the process and causing damage.

[0029] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the drive shaft 201, the conveyor roller 202 and the conveyor belt 203 constitute the conveying assembly 2, which is used to feed and convey the automotive metal parts to be processed.

[0030] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a bearing plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two mounting brackets 1, and a guide plate 15 is fixedly connected between the two bearing plates 14. A buffer pad 16 is provided on the guide plate 15, and a discharge plate 17 is fixedly connected between the two bearing plates 14. The discharge plate 17 is inclined, and a storage box 18 is provided below the discharge plate 17. The bottom of the guide plate 15 extends into the storage box 18. When the automotive metal parts are loaded by the conveyor belt 203, after the metal parts are transported to the unloading point, they will slide from the discharge plate 17 to the guide plate 15. The buffer pad 16 is used to buffer and protect the metal parts that collide with the guide plate 15, reducing the impact force on the metal parts. At the same time, the metal parts will slide along the guide plate 15 into the storage box 18 for the collection and storage of intact automotive metal parts.

[0031] like Figure 6As shown, in order to drive the rotating drive shaft 201, a housing 19 is detachably mounted on one of the mounting brackets 1 in this embodiment. A second pulley 20 is coaxially mounted on the surface of one of the drive shafts 201, and the second pulley 20 is located inside the housing 19. A stepper motor 21 is installed inside the housing 19. The output end of the stepper motor 21 is sleeved with a first pulley 22 through a shaft, and the first pulley 22 and the second pulley 20 are connected by a belt drive. By controlling the stepper motor 21, the output end of the stepper motor 21 drives the first pulley 22 to rotate, and through the belt drive, drives the second pulley 20 to rotate, so that the drive shaft 201 rotates together with the second pulley 20.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
