Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive CV joint processing technology, and in particular relates to a material transfer device for automotive CV joint processing. Background Technology

[0002] The CV joint is a crucial component of a car's transmission system. Its function is to transmit engine power from the transmission to the two front wheels, propelling the vehicle. Also known as a constant velocity joint (CV joint), the CV joint is manufactured using precision forging because it needs to transmit heavy driving torque, bears heavy loads, requires high transmission precision, and is a vital safety component in automobiles.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent CN221582882U discloses a material transfer device for processing automotive CV joints, including a mounting base. A material conveying mechanism and a processing machine tool are arranged on the outer side of the mounting base. A moving mechanism is arranged on the top of the mounting base, a lifting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the moving mechanism, a rotating mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the lifting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the rotating mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a clamp. The clamp is adjusted omnidirectionally through the cooperation of the moving mechanism, lifting mechanism, rotating mechanism, and clamping mechanism. The clamp holds the CV joint workpiece on the material conveying mechanism, transfers it to the processing machine tool, removes the processed CV joint workpiece, and finally installs the CV joint workpiece to be processed on the processing machine tool. The entire processing process requires minimal manual intervention, achieving automated material transfer of CV joint workpieces, reducing the labor intensity of workers, improving the processing efficiency of CV joint workpieces, and demonstrating high practicality.

[0004] In existing technologies, the omnidirectional adjustment of the fixture is achieved through the coordinated use of a moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a clamping mechanism, enabling automated material transfer of ball cage workpieces. However, certain shortcomings still exist in its application:

[0005] Firstly, when processing ball cages using an assembly line, multiple ball cage workpieces are usually transferred together during material transfer. When using a conveyor belt for material transfer, multiple workpieces are transferred simultaneously, causing collisions between the workpieces, resulting in damage to the appearance of the workpieces. It can also cause blockages during material transfer. When workpieces are blocked, it is impossible to accurately clamp and transfer materials, which greatly reduces work efficiency.

[0006] Secondly, if dust adheres to the surface of the ball cage workpiece during processing, it will seriously affect its subsequent performance and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention addresses the technical problems of simultaneous conveying of multiple CV joint workpieces, which leads to collisions between workpieces, resulting in damage to the appearance of the workpieces. It also causes blockages during material conveying and dust adhesion to the surface of the CV joint workpieces, affecting their subsequent performance and lifespan. The invention provides a material conveying device for automotive CV joint processing.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material transfer device for processing automotive CV joints, comprising a base, a conveyor belt disposed on the upper surface of the base for conveying CV joint workpieces, two sets of fixing plates fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base, and fixing columns fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the fixing plates.

[0009] Each set of fixed columns is fixedly equipped with a first baffle and a third baffle at opposite ends. The distance between the first baffles is greater than the distance between the third baffles. An arc-shaped second baffle is fixedly installed between the first baffle and the third baffle, and the second baffle and the third baffle are arranged in a trumpet shape.

[0010] Two sets of mounting plates are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the second baffle, and rollers are rotatably installed between each set of mounting plates.

[0011] A limit plate is fixedly installed on the side of the third baffle away from the second baffle, and an electric gripper is provided above the third baffle.

[0012] By placing the ball cage workpiece on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt transports the workpiece. When the workpiece passes the second baffle, only one workpiece can pass at a time. It is then transported forward between the third baffle. When the workpiece is transported to the second baffle, rollers made of flexible material prevent the workpiece from hitting the second baffle and damaging the surface of the workpiece. At the same time, the rollers roll, which greatly speeds up the transport speed of the workpiece. When the workpiece is transported to the limit plate, the limit plate blocks the workpiece, and then the electric gripper feeds the workpiece.

[0013] In the above-mentioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, a column is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base and on one side of the conveyor belt. A storage box is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the column. A sliding groove is opened on the opposite side of the storage box. A lead screw is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove. A sliding plate that slides inside the sliding groove is threaded on the surface of the lead screw.

[0014] The slide plate slides inside the groove by rotating the lead screw.

[0015] In the above-mentioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, a first cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the slide plate, and the output end of the first cylinder is fixed to the electric gripper.

[0016] The first cylinder drives the electric gripper to move down and clamp the workpiece. When the slide plate slides, the workpiece is fed.

[0017] In the above-mentioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, a dust collection box is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base, and a through groove is opened inside the dust collection box. Multiple air jet pipes are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the through groove.

[0018] When the workpiece passes through the dust removal box, the jet pipe sprays air onto the workpiece, removing dust from its surface and greatly improving product quality during processing.

[0019] In the aforementioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, multiple dust suction pipes are fixedly installed on the surface of the through groove.

[0020] The dust blown off the workpiece is removed by a vacuum tube, preventing dust from splashing everywhere and protecting the surrounding working environment.

[0021] In the aforementioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, an inclined feed chute is fixedly installed on one side of the dust collection box.

[0022] When the workpiece is conveyed to the upper surface of the feed trough, the workpiece is released, allowing it to slide between the clamps through the inclined feed trough.

[0023] In the above-mentioned automotive CV joint processing material transfer device, two symmetrically arranged side plates are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base and on the outside of the feed chute. A second cylinder is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the side plates, and an arc-shaped clamping plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder.

[0024] The workpiece is clamped by moving the clamping plate to the center using the second cylinder, which facilitates subsequent processing and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0025] In the aforementioned automotive ball cage processing material transfer device, the rollers are made of flexible material.

[0026] The workpiece is prevented from impacting the second baffle by using roller flexible material, thus preventing workpiece damage.

[0027] In summary, compared with the prior art, the material transfer device for automobile CV joint processing provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a first baffle, a second baffle, a limiting plate and an electric gripper, can make the workpieces arranged in an orderly manner during the conveying process, allowing only one workpiece to pass through before feeding, while avoiding collisions between workpieces, ensuring the integrity of the workpiece's appearance, improving the feeding effect and feeding quality, and greatly accelerating work efficiency.

[0029] 2. This utility model, through the setting of dust removal box, through groove, air jet pipe and dust suction pipe, can remove dust from the workpiece while it is being fed, prevent dust from sticking to the surface of the workpiece, remove the dust, and greatly improve the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0030] 3. This utility model, through the use of a feeding chute, a second cylinder, and a clamping plate, can automatically clamp and fix the workpiece after it is fed, which facilitates subsequent processing and greatly improves the processing effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 A material conveying device for processing automotive ball cages includes a base 10, a conveyor belt 11 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base 10, and two sets of fixing plates 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 10, with fixing columns 13 fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the fixing plates 12.

[0040] Further reference Figure 1A first baffle 14 and a third baffle 16 are fixedly installed at opposite ends of the fixed column 13. The width between the first baffle 14 is greater than the width between the third baffle 16. An arc-shaped second baffle 15 is fixedly installed between the first baffle 14 and the third baffle 16. The second baffle 15 and the third baffle 16 are arranged in a funnel shape. The first baffle 14, the second baffle 15 and the third baffle 16 do not contact the conveyor belt 11. In use, the ball cage workpiece is placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11, so that the conveyor belt 11 transports the workpiece. When the workpiece passes the second baffle 15, only one workpiece can pass through. It is transported forward between the two third baffles 16, so that the workpiece can be transported one by one, which is convenient for the next process and greatly speeds up the work efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two sets of mounting plates 17 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the second baffle 15. Rollers 18 are rotatably installed between each set of mounting plates 17. The rollers 18 are made of flexible material. When the workpiece is conveyed to the second baffle 15, the flexible material rollers 18 can prevent the workpiece from directly hitting the second baffle 15 and prevent the workpiece from being damaged. At the same time, the rollers 18 roll, which greatly speeds up the conveying speed of the workpiece.

[0042] Further reference Figure 1 A limiting plate 19 is fixedly installed on the side of the third baffle 16 away from the second baffle 15 to block the workpiece. When the workpiece is conveyed to the limiting plate 19, the limiting plate 19 blocks the workpiece, causing the conveyor belt 11 to idle and keep the workpiece in place, which facilitates the subsequent feeding work.

[0043] Further reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A column 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt 11, which is located on the front and rear sides of the base 10. A storage box 21 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the column 20. A slide groove 22 is opened on the opposite side of the storage box 21. A lead screw 23 is rotatably installed inside the slide groove 22. A servo motor 24 for driving the lead screw 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the storage box 21. A sliding plate 25 that slides inside the slide groove 22 is threaded on the surface of the lead screw 23. When in use, the servo motor 24 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate, so that the sliding plate 25 slides inside the slide groove 22.

[0044] Further reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first cylinder 26 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the slide plate 25. An electric gripper 27 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first cylinder 26. When in use, the first cylinder 26 drives the electric gripper 27 to move down to clamp the workpiece. When the slide plate 25 slides, the workpiece is fed.

[0045] Further reference Figures 3-6 A dust collection box 28 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 10. The dust collection box 28 has a through groove 29 for the workpiece to slide inside. Multiple air jet pipes 30 are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the through groove 29. The air jet pipes 30 are connected to an air jet device. The air jet device is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this solution. When the workpiece passes through the dust collection box 28, the air jet pipes 30 spray air onto the workpiece, which removes the dust from the surface of the workpiece. This greatly improves the product quality when the workpiece is processed.

[0046] Further reference Figure 6 Multiple suction pipes 31 are fixedly installed on the surface of the through groove 29 to remove the dust blown off the workpiece, preventing dust from splashing everywhere and protecting the surrounding working environment.

[0047] Further reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 An inclined feed chute 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the dust collection box 28. Two symmetrically arranged side plates 33 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the base 10. A second cylinder 34 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two side plates 33. An arc-shaped clamping plate 35 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder 34. When in use, when the workpiece is conveyed to the upper surface of the feed chute 32, the workpiece is released, so that the workpiece slides through the inclined feed chute 32 to the clamping plate 35. At this time, the second cylinder 34 pushes the clamping plate 35 to move in the center to clamp the workpiece, which facilitates subsequent processing and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0048] Working principle: During operation, the ball cage workpiece is placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11, allowing the conveyor belt 11 to transport the workpiece. When a workpiece passes the second baffle 15, only one workpiece can pass at a time, and it is transported forward between the third baffle 16. When the workpiece reaches the second baffle 15, the rollers 18 made of flexible material prevent the workpiece from directly impacting the second baffle 15 and damaging the surface of the workpiece. At the same time, the rollers 18 roll, greatly accelerating the conveying speed of the workpiece. When the workpiece reaches the limit plate 19, the limit plate 19 blocks the workpiece, causing the conveyor belt 11 to idle and stop the workpiece in place. At this time, the servo motor 24... The first cylinder 26 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate, causing the slide plate 25 to slide inside the slide groove 22. The first cylinder 26 drives the electric gripper 27 to move down to clamp the workpiece. When the slide plate 25 slides, the workpiece is fed. When the workpiece passes through the dust removal box 28, the jet pipe 30 sprays air onto the workpiece to remove dust from its surface. The suction pipe 31 sucks up the dust blown off the workpiece. When the workpiece is conveyed to the upper surface of the feed trough 32, the workpiece is released, allowing it to slide between the clamping plates 35 through the inclined feed trough 32. At this time, the second cylinder 34 pushes the clamping plates 35 to move in the center to clamp the workpiece, facilitating subsequent processing.
