Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding platform for automated cylinder head transfer, belonging to the field of mechanical processing auxiliary tools technology, specifically a feeding platform used for automated cylinder head transfer. Background Technology
[0002] The cylinder head is mounted on top of the cylinder block, sealing the cylinder from above and forming the combustion chamber. Cylinder heads are typically rectangular prisms with one open side, cast from gray cast iron or alloy cast iron. They are large and heavy, requiring handling and sequential placement in finished product boxes after processing. Currently, this is mostly done manually, demanding high physical strength from operators, thus increasing processing and labor costs. Furthermore, workers are prone to bumping and knocking the cylinder heads when placing them in the finished product boxes, potentially damaging them or even injuring them. Therefore, a robotic arm is being considered for positioning and gripping the cylinder heads for automated transport. The positioning, feeding, and placement of the material on the feeding platform are crucial for the robotic arm's gripping capabilities. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides a feeding platform for automated cylinder head transfer, which facilitates point-to-point feeding during automated transfer of cylinder head workpieces, making it convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a feeding platform for automated cylinder head transfer, including a processing table and a suspended material support trough. The structure of the suspended material support trough is a slide groove composed of two symmetrically arranged angle steel bars. The suspended material support trough is vertically fixed to the side of the processing table and suspended outside the processing table. A first positioning monitor is fixedly installed on one side of the suspended material support trough.
[0005] The two angle steel horizontal plates of the suspended material support groove are located inside the slide groove, and the distance between the vertical plates of the two angle steel bars corresponds to the width of the cylinder head.
[0006] A baffle bar is fixedly installed on the processing table. The baffle bar and one of the angle steel bars of the suspended material support groove are on the same straight line and connected to each other. A pusher cylinder is fixedly installed on the processing table. The pusher cylinder is located on the side of the baffle bar away from the suspended material support groove, and the piston rod of the pusher cylinder extends in the direction between the two angle steel bars of the suspended material support groove. A third positioning monitor is installed on the baffle bar.
[0007] The feeding platform for automated cylinder head transfer provided by this utility model can realize the fixed-point feeding and placement of cylinder heads processed on the processing table, so that the automated transfer robot can grasp the workpiece. It is convenient, safe and saves time and effort. Attached Figure Description
[0008] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings;
[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0011] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a feeding platform for automated cylinder head transfer, including a processing table 11 and a suspended material support trough 14. The suspended material support trough 14 is a slide groove composed of two symmetrically arranged angle steel bars. The suspended material support trough 14 is vertically fixed to the side of the processing table 11 and suspended outside the processing table 11.
[0012] A first positioning monitor 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the suspended material support trough 14.
[0013] After the cylinder head is processed, it is placed on the suspended material tray 14. The robotic arm device that transports the cylinder head can then operate to grab the cylinder head at a fixed point and send it to the finished product box.
[0014] The two angle steel horizontal plates of the suspended material support groove 14 are located inside the slide groove, and the distance between the vertical plates of the two angle steel bars corresponds to the width of the cylinder head, so that the cylinder head is placed on the two angle steel horizontal plates and the vertical plates of the two steel bars limit its position, thereby achieving positioning.
[0015] A baffle strip 12 is fixedly installed on the processing table 11. The baffle strip 12 and one of the angle steel vertical plates of the suspended material support trough 14 are on the same straight line and connected together. Since one of the angle steel vertical plates of the suspended material support trough 14 does not have a connected baffle strip, this location can become... Figure 1As shown in the feed inlet, workers can directly push the cylinder head to the baffle bar 12 for positioning through the feed inlet. A pusher cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the processing table 11. The pusher cylinder 13 is located on the side of the baffle bar 12 away from the suspended material support groove 14, and the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 13 extends in the direction between the two angle steel bars of the suspended material support groove 14. A third positioning monitor 6 is installed on the baffle bar 12. After the third positioning monitor 6 detects that a cylinder head is positioned at the feed inlet, it feeds back information to the system. The system commands the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 13 to slowly extend and push the cylinder head to the suspended material support groove 14 so that the robot arm can pick it up without manual placement.
[0016] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
