Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal ring feeding technology, specifically referring to a metal ring detection and feeding structure. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing and production of metal rings, due to the different production batches of metal rings, it is usually necessary to inspect the metal rings to sort out defective products and finished products. Before the metal rings are inspected, they need to be loaded onto the inspection equipment for auxiliary inspection.

[0003] In existing methods, metal rings are typically fed directly to the testing equipment by hand using manual tools. However, this method is labor-intensive and inefficient when feeding metal rings in batches. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to automatically adjust the feeding structure to accommodate metal rings of different inner diameters and prevent them from slipping during feeding. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a metal ring testing and feeding structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

A pin is inserted through both the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve, and a support is fixedly connected to the other end of the inner sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the support cylinder is provided with a strip groove parallel to its axis, and a nut seat is slidably inserted into the strip groove, and the bottom wall of the support is set at an acute angle.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes a top seat fixed to the bottom of the conveying mechanism. A rotating rod extending to the outside of the other side wall of the top seat is rotatably connected to one inner side wall of the top seat. A handle is fixed to one end of the rotating rod, a connecting block is fixed to the middle of the rotating rod, and a lifting cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the connecting block. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the top of the support cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes uprights fixed to both ends of the base plate. Two sets of uprights are rotatably connected by two sets of rotating shafts, and conveying rollers are arranged opposite to both ends of the uprights.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A metal ring detection and feeding structure includes a base plate 1, a picking platform 2 fixedly connected to one end of the base plate 1, the picking platform 2 is composed of a set of circular plates and four sets of arc-shaped vertical plates fixed to the lower end of the circular plates, a support 3 arranged in a cross shape is fixedly connected to the top wall of the picking platform 2, and the center of the cross shape coincides with the center of the circular plate. The metal rings to be tested are stacked up and down and placed on the support 3. A detection platform 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the base plate 1. After the metal rings are transported one by one to the detection platform 4, they can be detected and sorted. A conveying mechanism 5 for automatically transporting metal rings in batches is fixedly connected to both ends of the base plate 1 above the picking platform 2 and the detection platform 4. An angle adjustment component 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 5. A support cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the angle adjustment component 6. A feeding mechanism 8 extending to the bottom of the support cylinder 7 is provided to support and feed metal rings of different specifications.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 3-4As shown, in order to support and prevent slippage of metal rings with different inner diameters during feeding, the feeding mechanism 8 includes a parallel lead screw 81 rotatably connected inside the support cylinder 7. The lead screw 81 is threaded with oppositely arranged nut seats 82. The bottom of the support cylinder 7 is provided with a strip groove parallel to its axis, and the nut seats 82 are slidably inserted into the strip groove. A drive motor 83 is fixedly connected to one end face of the support cylinder 7. When the drive motor 83 is turned on and rotates forward, it drives the lead screw 81 to rotate forward. Then, the two sets of nut seats 82 are driven by the lead screw 81 and move in opposite directions along the strip groove. When the drive motor 83 is reversed, it can drive the two sets of nut seats 82 to move relative to each other. The output end of the drive motor 83 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 81. An outer sleeve 84 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the nut seat 82. An inner sleeve 85 is slidably sleeved inside the outer sleeve 84. Pins 86 are inserted through the outer sleeve 84 and the inner sleeve 85.

[0025] The total length of the outer sleeve 84 and the inner sleeve 85 can be further adjusted by sliding the inner sleeve 85 inside the outer sleeve 84. The two can be fixed by inserting the pin 86 into the outer sleeve 84 and the inner sleeve 85. The other end of the inner sleeve 85 is fixedly connected to the support 87. The bottom end of the support 87 is set at an acute angle. The nut seat 82 drives the support 87 to move. After adjusting the spacing of the support 87, the support 87 is located in the cavity in the middle of the metal ring. Then, the drive motor 83 is turned on to rotate forward. The two sets of support 87 move in opposite directions so that the acute-angled end is inserted into the gap between each set of metal rings. The support 87 continues to move and can support and fix the inner wall and the bottom wall of the metal ring through the bottom wall and the side wall.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in order to adjust the angle of the supported metal ring to meet different testing requirements, the angle adjustment component 6 includes a top seat 61 fixed to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 5. A rotating rod 62 extending to the outside of the other side wall of the top seat 61 is rotatably connected to one inner side wall of the top seat 61. A handle 63 is fixed to one end of the rotating rod 62. By grasping the handle 63, the rotating rod 62 is rotated. A connecting block 64 is fixed to the middle of the rotating rod 62. The connecting block 64 rotates accordingly, causing the feeding mechanism 8 below and the supported metal ring to rotate and adjust the angle to adapt to different testing requirements. A lifting cylinder 65 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting block 64, and the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 65 is fixed to the top of the support cylinder 7. Opening the lifting cylinder 65 can drive the feeding mechanism 8 to rise and fall, thereby facilitating the support of metal rings stacked at different heights for subsequent feeding and unloading.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, in order to achieve the purpose of automatically transporting batches of metal rings to the inspection table one by one, the conveying mechanism 5 includes uprights 51 fixed to both ends of the base plate 1. The two sets of uprights 51 are rotatably connected by two sets of rotating shafts, and conveying rollers 52 are arranged opposite to both ends of the uprights 51. A conveying motor 53 is fixedly connected to one set of uprights 51, and the output end of the conveying motor 53 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts. When the conveying motor 53 is turned on, it drives the conveying rollers 52 to rotate in the forward direction. The two ends of the conveying rollers 52 are connected to the oppositely arranged transmission belts 54, and the bottom of the transmission belts 54 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the top seat 61. The two sets of conveying rollers 52 can drive the transmission belts 54 to rotate under the action of friction. The transmission belts 54 can drive the feeding mechanism 8 to lift the metal rings from the picking platform 2 for feeding, and then transport them to the inspection table 4 for unloading and inspection. When the conveying motor 53 is turned on in reverse, the transmission belts 54 can be reversed to return the feeding mechanism 8 to the picking platform 2, and the above steps can be repeated for feeding and unloading again.
