Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric cylinder assembly and feeding technology, and in particular to an electric cylinder component feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In the assembly and production process of electric cylinders, efficient and precise material feeding is a key factor in ensuring overall production efficiency and quality. With the continuous development of industrial technology, electric cylinders are being used more and more widely in many fields, especially in scenarios with high equipment performance requirements. Heavy-duty, large-size electric cylinders, with their strong load capacity and stable operating performance, are gradually becoming an important market demand.
[0003] However, heavy-duty, large-size electric cylinder components face numerous challenges during the loading process due to their large weight and special dimensions. Traditional loading methods, such as manual handling, not only consume a lot of manpower and time and are extremely labor-intensive, but also easily lead to damage to components due to human factors during handling, affecting product quality, and are difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production.
[0004] Most existing automated loading equipment is designed for small, lightweight parts, and its structural strength and load-bearing capacity are limited, making it unsuitable for loading heavy, large-sized electric cylinder parts. Some loading devices specifically designed for heavy workpieces often lack flexibility, making it difficult to effectively adjust and adapt to electric cylinder parts of different sizes and specifications, resulting in low loading efficiency and hindering the overall development of electric cylinder assembly production. Therefore, developing a high-efficiency loading device suitable for heavy, large-sized electric cylinder parts is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model discloses an electric cylinder parts feeding device, which is suitable for feeding heavy-duty, large-size electric cylinder parts and improves feeding efficiency.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an electric cylinder component feeding device, including a frame, a support swing arm rotatably mounted on the frame, an inner support arm coaxially mounted inside the support swing arm that can be telescopically extended, a support part extending from one end of the inner support arm out of the support swing arm, multiple support swing arms arranged side by side, the support parts of the multiple inner support arms forming a support surface for supporting electric cylinder components, a telescopic drive mechanism for driving the inner support arm to telescopically extend and retract along the length direction of the support swing arm mounted on the support swing arm, and a rotation drive mechanism for adjusting the tilt angle of the support swing arm mounted on the frame.
[0007] To further optimize this utility model, the following technical solutions may be preferred:
[0008] Preferably, the support portion includes a support pad disposed at the free end of the inner support arm, the support pad being detachably disposed on the inner support arm, and the support surface of the support pad being V-shaped.
[0009] Preferably, the telescopic drive mechanism includes a telescopic guide rail disposed on the inner support arm, the telescopic guide rail being arranged along the length direction of the inner support arm, a telescopic slider cooperating with the telescopic guide rail being disposed on the inner side wall of the support arm, and a linear reciprocating drive mechanism for driving the inner support arm to extend and retract along the telescopic guide rail being disposed at the tail end of the support arm, the drive end of the linear reciprocating drive mechanism being connected to the inner support arm.
[0010] Preferably, two sets of telescopic guide rails are arranged side by side, and a reinforcing rib is provided on the inner support arm at the position corresponding to the position between the two sets of telescopic guide rails.
[0011] Preferably, the middle part of the support swing arm is rotatably mounted on the frame via a rotating shaft. The rotary drive mechanism includes a winch and a pulley block. The traction rope of the winch is connected to one end of the inner side of the support swing arm via the pulley block. The pulley block includes a first pulley mounted on the frame and a second pulley mounted on the support swing arm. The traction rope passes through the first pulley and the second pulley in sequence.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting frame is also provided on one side of the back of the support arm of the frame, and the limiting frame and the support arm form a receiving groove.
[0013] The electric cylinder component loading device provided by this utility model has significant beneficial effects and greatly improves the loading operation of heavy and large-size electric cylinder components.
[0014] First, the overall structural design is ingenious. By rotating a support arm on the frame and coaxially mounting a retractable inner support arm within the arm, the support portions of multiple inner support arms form a support surface. Combined with the telescopic and rotary drive mechanisms, this allows for flexible handling and loading of heavy-duty, large-sized electric cylinder components. This design not only improves loading efficiency but also significantly reduces manual labor intensity, lowers the risk of component damage due to manual operation, and effectively guarantees product quality.
[0015] From the perspective of the preferred technical solutions, the support part adopts a detachable support pad with a V-shaped support surface installed at the free end of the inner support arm. On the one hand, the V-shaped support surface can better adapt to electric cylinder parts of different shapes, provide stable support, and enhance the versatility of the device. On the other hand, the detachable design makes it convenient to replace support pads of different specifications according to actual production needs, further improving the adaptability of the device.
[0016] In the telescopic drive mechanism, telescopic guide rails arranged along the length of the inner support arm are installed, cooperating with telescopic sliders on the inner sidewall of the support arm. Combined with a linear reciprocating drive mechanism, this drives the inner support arm to extend and retract. This structural design makes the extension and retraction of the inner support arm smoother and more precise, ensuring the stability of components during handling. Simultaneously, two sets of telescopic guide rails are arranged side-by-side, and reinforcing ribs are installed at corresponding positions on the inner support arm, effectively enhancing the structural strength of the inner support arm and improving its load-bearing capacity, enabling it to better meet the handling requirements of heavy components.
[0017] The rotary drive mechanism adopts a combination of a winch and a pulley block. The traction rope passes through the first pulley on the frame and the second pulley on the support arm to connect one end of the support arm. This design can precisely adjust the tilt angle of the support arm, making it easy to operate and control precisely. It is convenient to place parts accurately in the designated position and improves the accuracy of feeding.
[0018] In addition, a limiting frame is set on one side of the back of the corresponding support arm of the frame to form a receiving groove with the support arm. This design can play a certain role in limiting the parts during the handling process, preventing the parts from accidentally slipping during the handling process, and further improving the safety of the loading operation.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an electric cylinder component loading device includes a frame 1, on which a support arm 2 is rotatably mounted. A telescopic inner support arm 3 is coaxially mounted within the support arm 2. One end of the inner support arm 3 extends outward from the support arm and has a support portion. Multiple support arms are mounted side-by-side, and the support portions of the multiple inner support arms form a support surface for supporting the electric cylinder components. A telescopic drive mechanism is mounted on the support arm to drive the inner support arm to extend and retract along its length. A rotary drive mechanism is also mounted on the frame to adjust the tilt angle of the support arm. From the overall structural layout, the coordinated design of the support arm and inner support arm, combined with the telescopic and rotary drive mechanisms, greatly improves loading efficiency. Traditional loading methods often require significant manpower and time for position adjustment when handling heavy, large-sized electric cylinder components. This device, through precise mechanized control, can quickly move components to the target position, significantly shortening the loading cycle and effectively ensuring the efficient operation of the production line.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the support unit includes a support pad 4 installed at the free end of the inner support arm. The support pad 4 is detachably mounted on the inner support arm 3, and its support surface is V-shaped. This design provides high versatility. In the production of electric cylinders, parts come in various shapes, and the V-shaped support surface can accommodate parts with various cross-sectional shapes, such as round and square, providing stable support. Moreover, the detachable design allows for flexible replacement of the support pad according to the needs of different production batches, reducing equipment downtime and lowering production costs.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic drive mechanism includes a telescopic guide rail 6 mounted on the inner support arm, the telescopic guide rail 6 being arranged along the length of the inner support arm, a telescopic slider 7 cooperating with the telescopic guide rail being mounted on the inner side wall of the support arm, and a linear reciprocating drive mechanism 10 for driving the inner support arm to extend and retract along the telescopic guide rail being mounted at the tail end of the support arm, the drive end of the linear reciprocating drive mechanism being connected to the inner support arm; in the telescopic drive mechanism, the cooperation between the telescopic guide rail and the telescopic slider, combined with the linear reciprocating drive mechanism 10, ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the telescopic movement of the inner support arm. Smooth movement is crucial when handling heavy components, effectively preventing damage to components due to shaking.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, two sets of telescopic guide rails are installed side by side, and a reinforcing rib 8 is installed on the inner support arm at the position between the two sets of telescopic guide rails. The setting of the two sets of telescopic guide rails and the reinforcing rib significantly enhances the structural strength of the inner support arm, enabling it to easily bear heavy electric cylinder components and broadening the applicability of the device.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the middle part of the support swing arm is rotatably mounted on the frame via a pivot 5. The rotary drive mechanism includes a winch and a pulley block. The winch's traction rope is connected to one end of the inner side of the support swing arm via the pulley block. The pulley block includes a first pulley mounted on the frame and a second pulley mounted on the support swing arm. The traction rope passes through the first pulley 11 and the second pulley 12 in sequence. The combination of the winch and pulley block in the rotary drive mechanism provides a convenient and precise control method for adjusting the tilt angle of the support swing arm. Operators can precisely adjust the tilt of the support swing arm according to the height and position requirements of the assembly station, accurately delivering parts to the designated position, improving the accuracy of material loading, reducing secondary adjustments caused by positional deviations, and further improving production efficiency.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a limiting frame 9 is also installed on one side of the back of the support swing arm of the frame. The limiting frame 9 and the support swing arm 2 form a receiving groove. Throughout the entire feeding process, the receiving groove always plays a limiting role for the parts, effectively preventing the parts from accidentally slipping during handling, reducing the risk of safety accidents, and providing reliable safety protection for operators and equipment.
[0032] Regarding the above embodiments, in actual production scenarios, the working process of this electric cylinder component feeding device is as follows:
[0033] (1) Preparation stage
[0034] Equipment Inspection and Debugging: Operators first conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire feeding device, ensuring the frame is stable and all components are properly connected. They then check the power source of the linear reciprocating drive mechanism (such as a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or electric push rod) in the telescopic drive mechanism to ensure it is functioning correctly, and that the telescopic guide rail and telescopic slider are well lubricated and free from jamming. Simultaneously, they debug the winch of the rotary drive mechanism, ensuring its traction rope is undamaged and untangled, and that the first and second pulleys of the pulley block rotate freely.
[0035] Support plate selection and installation: Based on the shape and size of the electric cylinder components to be transported, select a suitable V-shaped support plate and detachably install it on the free end of the inner support arm using bolts or other methods. For example, for a circular cross-section electric cylinder piston rod, a V-shaped support plate with an appropriate opening angle can be selected to achieve stable support.
[0036] (2) Feeding stage
[0037] Transporting components to the support arms: Using a crane or other handling equipment, heavy-duty, large-size electric cylinder components are hoisted to the top of multiple support arms, ready to be placed on the support surface formed by multiple inner support arms.
[0038] Adjusting the support surface height: Activate the linear reciprocating drive mechanism of the telescopic drive system, whose drive end pushes the inner support arm to extend outward along the telescopic guide rail. Because multiple support arms are arranged side-by-side, the multiple inner support arms extend synchronously, causing the support surface to rise as a whole until the component can be stably placed on the support pad. During this process, the two sets of telescopic guide rails and telescopic sliders work closely together to ensure a smooth extension of the inner support arm. Simultaneously, reinforcing ribs enhance the structural strength of the inner support arm, ensuring it can withstand the weight of the component.
[0039] Adjusting the tilt angle of the support arm: After the component is placed on the support surface, start the winch of the rotary drive mechanism. The winch winds up and unwinds the traction rope, which passes through the first and second pulleys in sequence, thereby pulling one end of the inner side of the support arm, causing the support arm to rotate around the central pivot, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the support arm. For example, if it is necessary to move the component to a higher assembly station, the winch can be used to tilt the support arm upward, gradually lifting the component and bringing it closer to the target position.
[0040] Fine-tuning the position of the support surface: During the tilting process of the support arm, the telescopic drive mechanism can be restarted again according to the actual situation to fine-tune the extension length of the inner support arm, so that the position of the parts is more accurately aligned with the assembly station.
[0041] (3) Unloading stage
[0042] Reaching the target position and unloading: When the support arm carrying the component moves to the assembly station and is precisely aligned, the winch of the rotary drive mechanism is operated in reverse to slowly lower the support arm to a horizontal position or a suitable unloading angle. At the same time, the telescopic drive mechanism is operated to retract the inner support arm, reducing the height of the support surface, and the component descends accordingly until it is successfully placed on the assembly station.
[0043] Support arm reset: After unloading, continue operating the winch to return the support arm to its initial horizontal position. Simultaneously, the inner support arm retracts to its initial length, awaiting the next loading task. Throughout the entire operation, the limiting bracket on one side of the frame corresponding to the support arm's back, along with the receiving groove formed by the support arm, consistently limits the movement of components, preventing accidental slippage during handling and ensuring operational safety.
[0044] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components or an interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] The above are preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
