Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a workpiece transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of workpieces, the transfer of workpieces is often involved. Taking hydraulic components as an example, after drilling, they need to be transferred to the next station for grinding to perform secondary processing on burrs or uneven surfaces. This process requires the use of a transfer mechanism. Existing transfer mechanisms include a frame with a first conveying device and a second conveying device mounted on it. The first conveying device is vertically mounted above the second conveying device. A push plate is connected to the output end of the first conveying device. The operator places the drilled hydraulic component on the first conveying device. When the hydraulic component is transferred close to the second conveying device, the push plate pushes the workpiece onto the second conveying device under external force for continued transfer. However, the above structural design has the following problems:

[0003] When the operator places too many hydraulic components on the first conveyor, the hydraulic components will accumulate on the first conveyor, making it difficult for the pusher plate to push the hydraulic components onto the second conveyor, thereby reducing the transfer efficiency. Utility Model Content

The transfer direction of the first transfer device is perpendicular to the transfer direction of the second transfer device. A push plate is provided at the output end of the first transfer device, and a buffer is provided at the input end of the first transfer device. After being buffered by the buffer, the workpiece is pushed into the second transfer device by the push plate for further transfer.

[0007] Preferably, the first conveying device includes a belt conveyor and limiting plates disposed on both sides of the belt conveyor.

[0008] Preferably, the buffer includes connecting frames symmetrically arranged on the limiting plate, each connecting frame being provided with an auxiliary roller, and the two auxiliary rollers surrounding each other to form a channel for the workpiece to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary roller is inclined, and while conveying the workpiece, the auxiliary roller exerts a downward constraint force on the workpiece.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame includes a fixed column fixed to the limiting plate, a movable cylinder rotatably mounted on the fixed column, a bracket connected to the movable cylinder, and a mounting seat for mounting the auxiliary roller on the bracket.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This application aims to solve the problem of workpieces accumulating at the output end of the first conveying device.

[0024] A workpiece transfer mechanism, as shown in the reference. Figures 1-2 The device includes a frame 1, on which a first conveying device 3 and a second conveying device 4 for conveying workpiece 2 are provided. The conveying direction of the first conveying device 3 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying device 4. A push plate 5 is provided at the output end of the first conveying device 3, and a buffer is provided at the input end of the first conveying device 3. After being buffered by the buffer, the workpiece 2 is pushed into the second conveying device 4 by the push plate 5 for continued conveying.

[0025] Furthermore, the first conveying device 3 includes a belt conveyor 31 and limiting plates 32 disposed on both sides of the belt conveyor 31.

[0026] Furthermore, the buffer includes connecting frames 61 symmetrically arranged on the limiting plate 32, each connecting frame 61 being provided with an auxiliary roller 62, and the two auxiliary rollers 62 surrounding each other to form a channel for the workpiece 2 to pass through.

[0027] Furthermore, the auxiliary roller 62 is inclined, and while conveying the workpiece 2, the auxiliary roller 62 has a downward constraint force on the workpiece 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting frame 61 includes a fixed column 611 fixed on the limiting plate 32, a movable cylinder 612 rotatably mounted on the fixed column 611, a bracket 613 connected to the movable cylinder 612, and a mounting seat 614 for mounting the auxiliary roller 62 mounted on the bracket 613.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting plate 32 is provided with a spring 7 on the side near the second conveying device 4, and one end of the spring 7 is connected to the bracket 613.

[0030] Furthermore, a linkage plate 8 is provided near the output end of the first conveying device 3, and the linkage plate 8 is provided with a sliding groove 81 for the push plate 5 to slide and cooperate.

[0031] Furthermore, an elastic guide plate 9 is provided between the mounting base 614 and the limiting plate 32.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Taking a hydraulic component as an example, workpiece 2 illustrates the design concept of this application. The hydraulic component is placed at the input end of the belt conveyor 31 (i.e., the input end of the first conveying device 3), such as... Figure 1 As shown, when too many hydraulic components are fed, they will converge at the input end of the belt conveyor 31. When the hydraulic components pass through the buffer designed in this application, the buffer has a buffering effect on the transmission of the hydraulic components, which can slow down the transmission speed of the hydraulic components and has a sorting effect on the hydraulic components, effectively preventing the hydraulic components from accumulating at the output end of the belt conveyor 31, and avoiding the push plate 5 from having difficulty pushing the hydraulic components onto the second conveying device 4 due to too many hydraulic components.

[0034] As an example of Embodiment 1, the buffer component of this application takes the auxiliary roller 62, connecting frame 61, and other structural components as an example. An elastic guide plate 9 is provided between the connecting frame 61 and the limiting plate 32. Due to the function of the elastic guide plate 9, the hydraulic components can pass more through the channel formed by the two auxiliary rollers 62. In this application, the auxiliary rollers 62 are arranged in a downwardly inclined manner. Figure 2 As shown, when the hydraulic component passes through the two auxiliary rollers 62, the auxiliary rollers 62 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 614. Therefore, the auxiliary rollers 62 not only have a conveying function for the hydraulic component, but also have a downward constraint force on the hydraulic component, further buffering the conveying speed of the hydraulic component and effectively preventing the hydraulic component from converging at the output end of the first conveying device 3.

[0035] As an embodiment 1, the elastic guide plate 9 of this application can be implemented by a rubber plate with elastic properties. One end of the rubber plate is fixed to the mounting base 614. In this application, the connecting frame 61 is set as a fixed column 611 fixed on the limiting plate 32. A movable cylinder 612 is rotatably arranged on the fixed column 611. A bracket 613 is connected to the movable cylinder 612. The mounting base 614 for fixing the auxiliary roller 62 is fixed on the bracket 613. In addition, this application also provides a spring 7 between the bracket 613 and the limiting plate 32. Therefore, when the hydraulic component is conveyed through the two auxiliary rollers 62, it exerts a force on the auxiliary rollers 62 in the conveying direction. At this time, the auxiliary rollers 62 drive the mounting base 614 to move. The mounting base 614 drives the movable cylinder 612 to rotate relative to the fixed column 611 through the bracket 613, thereby compressing the spring 7. When the hydraulic component leaves the auxiliary rollers 62, the spring 7 restores its deformation and pushes the bracket 613 to rotate the movable cylinder 612 in the opposite direction, so that the auxiliary rollers 62 and the bracket 613 return to their initial state. In other words, through the deformation of the spring 7, the auxiliary rollers 62 can also play a buffering role in the conveying of the hydraulic component, thereby reducing the conveying speed of the hydraulic component on the first conveying device 3.

[0036] Based on the above technical solutions, the second conveying device 4 can also be implemented by a belt conveyor 31. Its conveying principle is a mature technology in this technical field, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, regarding the structural fit of the push plate 5, this application provides a linkage plate 8 at the output end of the first conveying device 3. A sliding groove 81 is provided on the linkage plate 8 for the push plate 5 to slide and fit. A telescopic cylinder can be connected to the push plate 5. The telescopic cylinder drives the push plate 5 to move along the sliding groove 81 on the linkage plate 8 to push the hydraulic components from the first conveying device 3 to the second conveying device 4.

[0038] In order to solve the problem of workpieces accumulating at the output end of the first conveying device 3, when too many workpieces are put in, the workpieces pass through the buffer designed in this application. The buffer has a buffering effect on the conveying of workpieces, which can slow down the conveying speed of workpieces and has a sorting effect on workpieces, effectively preventing workpieces from accumulating at the output end of the first conveying device 3, and avoiding the problem that the push plate 5 has difficulty pushing the workpieces into the second conveying device 4 due to too many workpieces.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
