[0002] In the current field of bearing vibration and noise testing, the commonly used method requires operators to manually install the bearing onto the rotating shaft of a specific testing position on the testing equipment. During the testing process, the shaft drives the bearing to rotate, and the testing platform relies on built-in sensors to evaluate the bearing's vibration and noise to determine whether it meets the established quality standards. However, this traditional manual loading method is not only cumbersome but also inefficient, placing high demands on the operator's workload. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the issues associated with manual bearing inspection, this application provides an automated feeding platform for bearing inspection.

[0004] This application provides an automatic feeding platform for bearing inspection, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the frame provides the installation foundation, the output port of the disc conveyor connects to the feeding channel to realize the initial feeding of bearings; the transfer mechanism completes the transfer of bearings from the feeding channel to the entrance of the testing channel; the testing channel is responsible for transporting bearings to the testing station; the pushing mechanism ensures that the bearings accurately enter the testing station; the intermittent pushing of the feeding mechanism ensures that the bearings move forward in an orderly manner in the testing channel, solving the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of traditional manual feeding, realizing automated feeding for bearing testing, and improving testing efficiency and accuracy.

[0007] Optionally, the transfer mechanism includes a receiving platform, a rotating platform, and a rotating component for controlling the rotation of the rotating platform. The receiving platform has a receiving groove that connects to the outlet of the feeding channel and extends in a direction perpendicular to the detection channel.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the receiving groove of the receiving platform is connected to the outlet of the feeding channel, providing a stable receiving foundation for the bearing; the transfer groove of the rotary table switches between receiving and conveying states, and the bearing conveying direction is precisely changed through the control of the rotating parts; the power component pushes the bearing from the receiving groove into the transfer groove, ensuring a smooth transfer process, improving transfer efficiency and reliability, and ensuring that the bearing enters the testing channel stably.

[0009] Optionally, the pushing mechanism includes a movable platform and a pushing component. The movable platform has a detection groove connected to the detection channel. The movable platform has a detection hole on the side facing the detection station that communicates with the detection groove, allowing the rotating shaft of the detection station to penetrate into the detection groove and cooperate with the bearing. The pushing component is fixed on the frame and is used to control the movable platform to move and switch between the detection station and the detection channel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the bearings can be accurately and stably delivered to the testing station, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the testing.

[0011] Optionally, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate and a driving assembly. The feeding plate is disposed above the detection channel, and a plurality of feeding grooves are equally spaced on the feeding plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the bearing can move precisely within the detection channel, thus improving the automation level of the feeding system.

[0013] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a lifting platform mounted on the frame, one end of which is connected to a movable cylinder, and the piston rod of the movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the feeding plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the combination of the lifting platform and the movable cylinder, stable and precise motion control of the feeding plate is achieved.

[0015] Optionally, a slide rail is fixed to the side of the feeding plate away from the feeding groove, and the movable cylinder is fixed with a track adapted to the slide rail.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the design of the slide rail and track improves the stability of the material feeding plate movement.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application discloses an automatic feeding platform for bearing inspection.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The automatic feeding platform includes a frame 1, a disc conveyor 2, a detection channel 4, a transfer mechanism 5, a pushing mechanism 6, and a feeding mechanism 7. The frame 1, serving as the load-bearing foundation of the entire device, can be welded from high-strength steel with a rust-proof surface treatment. A detection station 11 for inspecting bearings is installed on the frame 1. This station is equipped with a high-precision rotating shaft and sensor assembly. The rotating shaft drives the bearing to rotate, while the sensor collects vibration and noise data during rotation to determine whether the bearing quality is up to standard. In this embodiment, the detection tools on the detection station 11 are existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The disc conveyor 2 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The output port of the disc conveyor 2 is smoothly connected to the feeding channel 3, forming an inclined angle between them, usually set at 30°, to ensure that the bearing can slide stably and smoothly from the disc conveyor 2 into the feeding channel 3 under the action of gravity. The disc conveyor 2 itself has a vibration function, which uses high-frequency vibration to make the bearing evenly distributed on the disc surface and gradually move along the spiral conveyor to the output port, providing a stable supply for the subsequent feeding process.

[0035] Inspection channel 4 extends along the other side of frame 1 and intersects with the end of loading channel 3 at transfer mechanism 5. Inspection channel 4 points towards inspection station 11 to ensure that the bearing can arrive at the inspection position accurately. Transfer mechanism 5 is located at the end of loading channel 3 and is used to transfer the bearing from loading channel 3 to the entrance of inspection channel 4.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The pushing mechanism 6 is responsible for accurately conveying the bearings at the testing station 11 on the testing channel 4 to the testing station 11 for testing. The feeding mechanism 7 intermittently pushes the bearings toward the testing station 11 along the conveying direction of the testing channel 4.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , 4 Specifically, the transfer mechanism 5 includes a receiving platform 501, a rotating platform 502, and a rotating component 503 for controlling the rotation of the rotating platform 502. The receiving platform 501 is fixed on the frame 1 and located below the end of the feeding channel 3. A receiving groove 5011 is provided on the receiving platform 501, which connects to the outlet of the feeding channel 3, allowing the bearing to fall from the feeding channel 3 into the receiving groove 5011. The receiving groove 5011 extends towards the detection channel 4, providing a spatial basis for the bearing's rotation.

[0038] The rotary table 502 is mounted on the frame 1, located between the outlet end of the receiving platform 501 and the inlet end of the inspection channel 4. The rotary table 502 has a transfer groove 5021 for storing bearings. The rotary table 502 has two working states: receiving state and conveying state.

[0039] In the receiving state, the transfer trough 5021 connects with the receiving trough 5011, allowing the bearing in the receiving trough 5011 to smoothly enter the transfer trough 5021. In the conveying state, the transfer trough 5021 connects with the inlet of the detection channel 4, preparing for the bearing to enter the detection channel 4. The rotating component 503 provides rotational power to the rotating table 502, controlling the switching between the two states. In this embodiment, the rotating component 503 can be driven by a motor, with the rotating output shaft of the motor driving the rotating table 502 to rotate. In other embodiments, the rotating component 503 can also be replaced by other components such as cylinders or gear sets.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , 4 To ensure that the bearing can smoothly enter the transfer groove 5021 from the receiving groove 5011, the receiving platform 501 is also equipped with a power component 504. This power component 504 can be a small cylinder, installed on the side of the receiving platform 501, with its piston rod connected to a push plate. When the push plate moves, it can push the bearing from the receiving groove 5011 into the transfer groove 5021.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 The pushing mechanism 6 includes a movable table 601 and a pushing component 602. The movable table 601 is mounted on the frame 1 and is located at one end of the inspection channel 4 near the inspection station 11. An inspection groove 6011 is provided on the movable table 601, which is used to communicate with the inspection channel 4 to ensure that the bearing can smoothly enter the movable table 601 from the inspection channel 4.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 The movable table 601 has a detection hole 6012 on the side facing the detection station 11. The detection hole 6012 communicates with the detection groove 6011 and is adapted to the rotating shaft of the detection station 11, allowing the rotating shaft of the detection station 11 to penetrate into the detection groove 6011 and cooperate with the bearing. The pusher 602 is fixed on the frame 1 and is used to control the movement and switching of the movable table 601 between the detection station 11 and the detection channel 4.

[0043] The pusher 602 can be a small cylinder mounted on the frame 1, with its piston rod connected to the movable stage 601. The extension and retraction of the piston rod controls the movement of the movable stage 601 between the inspection station 11 and the inspection channel 4. In other embodiments, the pusher 602 can also be a linear motor, fixed to the frame 1. The mover of the linear motor is connected to the movable stage 601 to drive the movable stage 601 to reciprocate between the inspection station 11 and the inspection channel 4.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 The feeding mechanism 7 includes a feeding plate 701 and a drive assembly 702. The feeding plate 701 is positioned above the detection channel 4, and several feeding grooves 7011 are evenly spaced on the feeding plate 701. The shape of the feeding grooves 7011 is adapted to the outer ring contour of the bearing. The feeding plate 701 spans the rotary table 502, the detection channel 4, and the movable table 601. When the rotary table 502, the detection channel 4, and the movable table 601 are in the same straight line position, each feeding action can push the bearings on them through the feeding grooves 7011 and move them simultaneously.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 The drive assembly 702 includes a lifting platform 7021 and a movable cylinder 7022 mounted on the frame 1. One end of the lifting platform 7021 is connected to the movable cylinder 7022, and the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7022 is fixedly connected to the feeding plate 701. The lifting platform 7021 includes a lifting cylinder 70211 and a bracket 70212 connected to one end of the lifting cylinder 70211. The movable cylinder 7022 is fixed to one end of the bracket 70212.

[0046] In operation, the lifting platform 7021 drives the material-feeding plate 701 downwards until the material-feeding groove 7011 is submerged in the bearing pile within the detection channel 4, making full contact with the outer ring of the bearing. Then, driven by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7022, the material-feeding plate 701 moves smoothly forward, propelling the bearing along the detection channel 4 towards the detection station 11 a predetermined distance using the material-feeding groove 7011. Subsequently, the lifting platform 7021 drives the material-feeding plate 701 upwards, and then the piston rod of the movable cylinder 7022 extends and retracts, causing the material-feeding plate 701 to sequentially return to its original position, completing one complete material-feeding cycle. This reciprocating motion is regulated according to the conveying speed and detection rhythm of the bearing within the detection channel 4, ensuring that the bearing always moves towards the detection station 11 in an orderly and stable manner.

[0047] To improve the stability of the movement of the feeding plate 701, a slide rail 703 is fixed on the side of the feeding plate 701 away from the feeding groove 7011, and a track 704 adapted to the slide rail 703 is fixed on the movable cylinder 7022.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 Furthermore, to further improve the stability and accuracy of the bearing during transport, the rotary table 502 is equipped with two spaced-apart limit blocks 8 in the transport groove 5021. The two limit blocks 8 form a bearing-limiting area, ensuring that the bearing will not be misaligned during transport. The bottom of the transport groove 5021 has a sliding groove 9 for the limit blocks 8 to slide in, and the sliding groove 9 contains an elastic element 10 for driving the limit blocks 8 to move outwards.

[0049] When the bearing enters the transfer groove 5021, the limiting block 8 extends out of the slide groove 9 under the action of the elastic element 10, limiting the bearing. When it is necessary to move the bearing, the downward-moving push plate 701 presses the limiting block 8 to make it fully retract into the slide groove 9. The elastic element 10 is preferably a spring, which is installed in the slide groove 9 to provide a stable and reliable driving force.

[0050] The implementation principle of an automatic feeding platform for bearing inspection according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0051] The disc conveyor 2 transports the bearings to the feeding channel 3. The receiving platform 501 of the transfer mechanism 5 receives the bearings and transports them to the transfer trough 5021. The rotary table 502 rotates and transfers the bearings to the entrance of the inspection channel 4. The feeding mechanism 7 intermittently pushes the bearings along the inspection channel 4 toward the inspection station 11. The pushing mechanism 6 pushes the bearings at the inspection station 11 to the inspection station 11 for inspection. After the inspection is completed, the pushing mechanism 6 sends the bearings back to the initial position of the inspection channel 4. At the same time, the transfer mechanism 5 returns to its original position to receive the next batch of bearings, realizing the automated feeding and inspection process of bearings.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
