Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model pertains to equipment for processing spring chains, specifically relating to a spring chain segment sorting and adjustment device for sorting and adjusting the posture of spring chain segments. Background Technology
[0002] Ammunition belts are ammunition supply devices used to continuously feed ammunition to machine guns or various fully automatic rapid-fire weapons. They can be divided into disintegrating and non-disintegrating ammunition belts. Non-disintegrating ammunition belts consist of multiple belt links, each with a front and a back. At each end of the front of a belt link is a large swivel and a small swivel, forming a groove between them. Long and short wing plates are located on both sides of the belt link, with several small holes along their edges for insertion. The structure of the belt link is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the spring chain links are fixedly connected to adjacent wing plates by hinges or coil springs, forming a non-detachable long chain. To meet the subsequent processing requirements of the spring chain links, they need to be sorted and output in a posture with the front facing down and the long or short wing plates facing the same direction. Currently, the common method is to adjust the posture of the spring chain links manually or by a robot. However, manual adjustment is too inefficient, while robot adjustment is too costly. Therefore, it is necessary to design a spring chain link adjustment device that is low-cost and highly efficient in sorting and adjustment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of cost and efficiency in existing spring chain link adjustment and to provide a spring chain link sorting and adjustment device with better sorting and adjustment efficiency.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a spring chain link sorting and adjustment device, including a vibrating plate, the spiral track of the vibrating plate being connected to a vertical track, the vertical track being connected to a horizontal translation track, the vertical track mainly consisting of a limit single rail I and an inclined single rail I arranged at intervals and parallel, the horizontal translation track mainly consisting of a limit single rail II arranged at intervals and parallel and connected to the inclined single rail I and an inclined single rail II connected to the limit single rail I, the inclined single rail I obliquely supporting the spring chain link, the inclined single rail II being located below one side of the inclined single rail I, the inclined plate The overlapping sections of monorail I and inclined monorail II are parallel. The distance between inclined monorail I and inclined monorail II is greater than the distance between limiting monorail II and inclined monorail II. Inclined monorail II gradually flips from inclined to horizontal. The width of inclined monorail II is not greater than the length of the groove on the front of the spring chain link. At the junction of the vertical track and the horizontal translation track, when the front of the spring chain link faces inclined monorail I, the spring chain link falls from the track into the hopper of vibrating plate II. When the front of the spring chain link faces inclined monorail II, inclined monorail II hooks it on through the large clamping ring on the front of the spring chain link.
[0005] Optionally, the limiting single rail I and the limiting single rail II are cylinders.
[0006] Optionally, the angle between the inclined plate monorail I and the horizontal plane is 30-45°.
[0007] The usage and principle of this utility model: The spring chain links are poured into the hopper of the vibrating plate. Under the action of the vibrating plate, the spring chain links move upwards along the spiral track and enter the vertical track. The vertically oriented spring chain links continue to move forward within the vertical track until they reach the junction of the vertical track and the horizontal translation track. When the front of the spring chain link faces the inclined single rail I, as the spring chain link transitions obliquely from the vertical track to the horizontal translation track, the groove on the front of the spring chain link cannot engage with the inclined single rail I, causing it to fall into the hopper of the vibrating plate through the gap between inclined single rail I and inclined single rail II. With the spring chain link facing the inclined monorail I, as the spring chain link transitions from the vertical track to the horizontal translation track, the large retaining ring on the front of the spring chain link will be caught on the inclined monorail II. However, the small retaining ring on the front of the spring chain link, due to its smaller diameter, will fall into the hopper of the vibratory feeder through the gap between inclined monorail I and inclined monorail II. The spring chain link with the correct posture will enter the horizontal translation track under the vibration of the vibratory feeder. The inclined monorail II of the horizontal translation track will gradually flip from the inclined direction to the horizontal direction, driving the spring chain link on it to flip it so that the front is facing down, thus completing the adjustment of the spring chain link's posture.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the present invention has a simplified structure and better sorting and adjustment efficiency for the spring chain links. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure of the spring chain link;
[0010] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0011] The following components are labeled as follows: vibratory plate 1, vertical track 2, horizontal translation track 3, limiting single track I 21, inclined plate single track I 22, limiting single track II 31, inclined plate single track II 32. Detailed Implementation
[0012] Example 1, in conjunction with the following Figure 2Further description of this utility model: The spring chain link sorting and adjustment device includes a vibratory plate 1, a vertical track 2 connected to the spiral track of the vibratory plate, and a horizontal translation track 3 connected to the vertical track. The vertical track and the horizontal translation track are connected and fixed to the vibratory plate via a bracket. The vertical track mainly consists of a parallel-spaced limiting single rail I 21 and an inclined single rail I 22. The vertical spring chain links vibrate and move forward on the vertical track. The horizontal translation track mainly consists of a parallel-spaced limiting single rail II 31 welded to the inclined single rail I and an inclined single rail II 32 welded to the limiting single rail I. The limiting single rail I and the limiting single rail II are cylindrical. The angle between the inclined single rail I and the horizontal plane is 30-45°. The inclined single rail I obliquely supports the spring chain links. The inclined single rail II is located below one side of the inclined single rail I. The overlapping sections of rail I and inclined plate monorail II are parallel. The distance between inclined plate monorail I and inclined plate monorail II is slightly greater than the thickness of the spring chain link. On the one hand, this makes it easy for incorrectly oriented spring chain links to fall off, and on the other hand, it makes it easy for correctly oriented spring chain links to be hooked up. The distance between inclined plate monorail I and inclined plate monorail II is greater than the distance between limiting monorail II and inclined plate monorail II, to prevent correctly oriented spring chain links from falling off the transverse translation track. Inclined plate monorail II gradually flips from inclined to horizontal. The width of inclined plate monorail II is not greater than the length of the groove on the front of the spring chain link. At the junction of the vertical track and the transverse translation track, when the front of the spring chain link is facing inclined plate monorail I, the spring chain link falls off the track into the hopper of vibrating plate II. When the front of the spring chain link is facing inclined plate monorail II, inclined plate monorail II hooks it up through the large clamping ring on the front of the spring chain link.
[0013] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
