Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing manufacturing technology, specifically to an ultra-thin energy-saving planar bearing production counting device. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-thin energy-saving planar bearings are bearings with an ultra-thin design and high energy-saving performance. They are typically used in applications requiring high precision, high rotational speed, and limited space. The ratio of the outer diameter to the inner diameter of this type of bearing is usually less than 1.25, with a very small difference between the inner and outer diameters, achieving extremely thin bearing walls. This design not only reduces the weight of the bearing but also saves space. High-precision manufacturing processes meet the high-precision requirements of equipment. Furthermore, by focusing on materials and processes, high structural rigidity is provided, effectively resisting deformation. Due to the use of precision machining processes and high-strength bearing steel, the bearing has a low coefficient of friction during operation, reducing energy consumption and extending service life. During the bearing production process, counting is necessary. In current technology, workers need to count them one by one, which is not only inefficient but also prone to counting errors. Some manufacturing companies use the number of bearings loaded per day as one of the standards for evaluating individual performance; therefore, the counting of bearings produced is particularly important.
[0003] Chinese patent CN217541865U discloses a bearing production counting device, including a device body; the device body includes a support base and a height measuring device; multiple bearing guide rods are spaced apart on the support base, and a soft elastic friction sleeve is fitted around the outside of each bearing guide rod, and the diameters of the multiple bearing guide rods are all different; the height measuring device includes a base and a height sensor mounted on the base, the base has through holes fitted onto the bearing guide rods, and a signal transmitter wirelessly connected to the height sensor is mounted on the support base and located below each bearing guide rod.
[0004] The aforementioned counting device, while capable of accurately calculating the cumulative height of bearings placed on the bearing guide rod using a height measuring device, and yielding the number of bearings by dividing the cumulative height by the bearing height, suffers from several drawbacks. First, all bearings on the bearing guide rod must be counted and removed before the next round of counting can begin. Second, the calculation requires dividing the cumulative height by the bearing height, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Third, the bearings must be manually removed after counting, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, further contributing to low work efficiency. Therefore, we propose an ultra-thin, energy-saving flat bearing production counting device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-thin, energy-saving flat bearing production counting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a counting device for producing ultra-thin energy-saving planar bearings, comprising a device platform, a turntable mounted on the top of the platform via bearings, a first stepper motor installed inside the platform, the output end of the first stepper motor being fixedly connected to the turntable, four sets of counting supports fixed on the top of the turntable, counting rods mounted inside the counting supports via rotating shafts, and a second stepper motor mounted on the outer wall of the counting supports, the output end of the second stepper motor being fixedly connected to the counting rods. A support plate is fixed to the outer wall of the bottom of the counting rod, and a bearing body is fitted on the outside of the counting rod above the support plate. A discharge platform is fixed to one side of the device platform, and a U-shaped groove is provided on the top of the discharge platform. A drive guide rail is fixed to one side of the top of the discharge platform, and a lead screw is installed inside the drive guide rail. A servo motor is installed at one end of the drive guide rail, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw. A slide is fitted on the outside of the lead screw. A drive arm is provided above the drive guide rail, and a discharge push plate is installed at one end of the drive arm through a rotating shaft.
[0007] Preferably, an annular guide groove is provided on the top of the device platform below the turntable, and a roller is installed at the edge of the bottom of the turntable, with the roller cooperating with the annular guide groove.
[0008] Preferably, support blocks are fixed on both sides of the top of the counting support, and the top of the support blocks is in contact with the support plate.
[0009] Preferably, a detection groove is provided on the outer wall of the top of the counting rod, and a laser sensor is installed inside the detection groove.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the U-shaped groove is equipped with equally spaced support rollers via a rotating shaft.
[0011] Preferably, a third stepper motor is installed at one end inside the drive arm, and the output end of the third stepper motor is fixedly connected to one end of the unloading push plate.
[0012] Preferably, the slide is threadedly engaged with the lead screw, and the top end of the slide is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive arm.
[0013] Preferably, the side of the U-shaped groove closest to the drive guide rail is open, and one end of the unloading push plate extends into the interior of the U-shaped groove through the opening.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The leftmost counting rod is aligned with the bearing production outlet, allowing the bearings to be smoothly fitted onto the counting rod. Since there are four sets of counting rods, the height of the counting rods is constant, the thickness of the bearing body is constant, and the position of the laser sensor is fixed, the number of bearing bodies stacked on the support plate is constant. When a certain number of bearing bodies are fitted, the laser sensor will detect the bearing bodies, indicating that a set of counting rods is full. At this time, the first stepper motor drives the turntable to rotate, causing the full counting rod to rotate and move away from below the outlet. The empty counting rod rotates to below the outlet, and the fitting and counting continues. This design can perform continuous counting and does not require manual calculation. The number of bearings can be obtained by observing the counting rods, thereby improving counting efficiency.
[0016] When the full counting rod rotates to the unloading platform position, the second stepper motor drives the counting rod to rotate 90 degrees, causing the counting rod to tilt towards the unloading platform. The third stepper motor drives the unloading push plate to rotate 90 degrees. The unloading push plate is located on one side of the support plate. The servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the slide to move the unloading push plate horizontally through the drive arm. The unloading push plate removes the bearing body from the counting rod and pushes it into the U-shaped groove at the top of the unloading platform. The operator can then receive the removed bearing body at the end of the unloading platform. This design facilitates the automatic removal of the bearing body from the counting rod, improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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. 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides: an ultra-thin energy-saving flat bearing production counting device, including a device platform 1, a turntable 2 mounted on the top of the device platform 1 via a bearing, a first stepper motor 10 installed inside the device platform 1, and the output end of the first stepper motor 10 fixedly connected to the turntable 2, four sets of counting supports 3 fixed on the top of the turntable 2, and a counting rod 4 mounted inside the counting support 3 via a rotating shaft, and a second stepper motor 12 mounted on the outer wall of the counting support 3, the output end of the second stepper motor 12 fixedly connected to the counting rod 4, a support plate 5 fixed on the outer wall of the bottom of the counting rod 4, and a bearing body 6 fitted on the outside of the counting rod 4 above the support plate 5;
[0026] Specifically, the leftmost counting rod 4 is aligned with the discharge port of the bearing production, allowing the bearings to be smoothly installed on the counting rod 4. Since there are four sets of counting rods 4, the height of the counting rod 4 is fixed, the thickness of the bearing body 6 is fixed, and the position of the laser sensor 14 is fixed, the number of bearing bodies 6 stacked on the support plate 5 is fixed. When a certain number of bearing bodies 6 are installed, such as ten, the laser sensor 14 will sense the bearing bodies 6, and the sensing time reaches a certain duration, indicating that the bearing bodies 6 on one set of counting rods 4 are full. At this time, the laser sensor 14 transmits a signal to the control panel, which controls the first stepper motor 10 to work. The first stepper motor 10 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, causing the full counting rod 4 to rotate and move away from below the discharge port. The empty counting rod 4 rotates to below the discharge port to continue the installation counting. This design can perform continuous counting and does not require manual calculation. The number of bearings can be obtained by observing the counting rod 4, thereby improving the counting efficiency.
[0027] A discharge platform 8 is fixed on one side of the device platform 1, and a U-shaped groove 15 is provided on the top of the discharge platform 8. A drive guide rail 21 is fixed on one side of the top of the discharge platform 8, and a lead screw 22 is installed inside the drive guide rail 21. A servo motor 23 is installed at one end of the drive guide rail 21. The output end of the servo motor 23 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 22. A slide block 20 is fitted on the outside of the lead screw 22. A drive arm 18 is provided above the drive guide rail 21, and a discharge push plate 17 is installed at one end of the drive arm 18 through a rotating shaft.
[0028] The top of the device platform 1 below the turntable 2 is provided with an annular guide groove 9, and a roller 7 is installed at the edge of the bottom of the turntable 2. The roller 7 and the annular guide groove 9 cooperate with each other.
[0029] Both sides of the top of the counting support 3 are fixed with support blocks 11, and the top of the support blocks 11 contacts the support plate 5; a detection groove 13 is provided on the outer wall of the top of the counting rod 4, and a laser sensor 14 is installed inside the detection groove 13.
[0030] The bottom of the U-shaped channel 15 is equipped with equally spaced support rollers 16 via a rotating shaft; the side of the U-shaped channel 15 near the drive guide rail 21 is open, and one end of the unloading push plate 17 extends into the interior of the U-shaped channel 15 through the opening.
[0031] A third stepper motor 19 is installed at one end inside the drive arm 18, and the output end of the third stepper motor 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the unloading push plate 17; the slide 20 is threadedly engaged with the lead screw 22, and the top end of the slide 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive arm 18.
[0032] When the full counting rod 4 rotates to the unloading platform 8, the second stepper motor 12 drives the counting rod 4 to rotate 90 degrees, causing the counting rod 4 to tilt towards the unloading platform 8. Immediately afterwards, the third stepper motor 19 drives the unloading push plate 17 to rotate 90 degrees. The unloading push plate 17 is located on one side of the support plate 5. The servo motor 23 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, causing the slide 20 to drive the unloading push plate 17 to move horizontally through the drive arm 18. The unloading push plate 17 removes the bearing body 6 from the counting rod 4 and pushes it into the U-shaped groove 15 at the top of the unloading platform 8. The setting of the support roller 16 reduces the frictional resistance between the bearing body 6 and the U-shaped groove 15. The operator can receive the removed bearing body 6 at the end of the unloading platform 8. This design facilitates the automatic removal of the bearing body 6 from the counting rod 4 and improves work efficiency.
[0033] Finally, the counting rod 4, after unloading, rotates back to its original position to continue counting. This process is repeated, resulting in high counting efficiency and simple, convenient counting, which meets the needs of bearing production.
[0034] In this embodiment, the following steps are taken: First, the leftmost counting rod 4 is aligned with the bearing production outlet, allowing the bearings to be smoothly mounted onto the counting rod 4. Since there are four sets of counting rods 4, the height of the counting rods 4 is constant, the thickness of the bearing body 6 is constant, and the position of the laser sensor 14 is fixed. Therefore, the number of bearing bodies 6 stacked on the support plate 5 is constant. When a certain number of bearing bodies 6 are mounted, for example, ten, the laser sensor 14 will detect the bearing bodies 6. If the detection time reaches a certain duration, it indicates that one set of counting rods 4 is full. At this time, the laser sensor 14 transmits a signal to the control panel, causing it to control the first stepper motor 10. The first stepper motor 10 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, causing the full counting rod 4 to rotate and move away from below the outlet. The empty counting rod 4 rotates to below the outlet, continuing the mounting and counting process. This design allows for continuous counting and eliminates the need for manual calculation; the number of bearings can be obtained simply by observing the counting rods 4. The counting efficiency is improved. Then, when the full counting rod 4 rotates to the unloading platform 8, the second stepper motor 12 drives the counting rod 4 to rotate 90 degrees, causing the counting rod 4 to tilt towards the unloading platform 8. Immediately afterwards, the third stepper motor 19 drives the unloading push plate 17 to rotate 90 degrees. The unloading push plate 17 is located on one side of the support plate 5. The servo motor 23 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, causing the slide 20 to drive the unloading push plate 17 to move horizontally through the drive arm 18. The unloading push plate 17 removes the bearing body 6 from the counting rod 4 and pushes it into the U-shaped groove 15 at the top of the unloading platform 8. The setting of the support roller 16 reduces the frictional resistance between the bearing body 6 and the U-shaped groove 15. The operator can receive the removed bearing body 6 at the end of the unloading platform 8. This design facilitates the automatic removal of the bearing body 6 from the counting rod 4, improving work efficiency. Finally, the unloaded counting rod 4 rotates back to its original position to continue counting. This process is repeated, resulting in high counting efficiency and simple and convenient counting, meeting the needs of bearing production.
[0035] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
