Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product manufacturing, and more specifically, to an automatic gear pin feeding structure. Background Technology

[0002] A gear pin is a needle-shaped or cylindrical mechanical part primarily used to position and secure gears, ensuring they do not move or fall off during operation. It is a crucial component of gear transmission systems, maintaining the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0003] In existing technologies, due to the large number of gear pins required for feeding, simply placing the gear pins into the feed hopper for feeding can easily cause them to get stuck during the feeding process, requiring time to clear them and reducing feeding efficiency. In addition, the gear pins are not properly positioned, resulting in a disorderly feeding process and uneven feeding, requiring adjustments and making them inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed an automatic gear pin feeding structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the current problems of time-consuming unblocking processes that reduce material feeding efficiency, uneven material feeding that requires adjustment, and inconvenience in use.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives and improve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model provides an automatic gear pin feeding structure, including a support frame, a feeding component, and a positioning component. The top of the support frame is provided with a feeding component for feeding gear pins, and the inside of the feeding component is provided with a positioning component for positioning and engaging gear pins.

[0007] The feeding assembly includes a housing located at the top of the support frame, a rotating disk inside the housing, a drive motor passing through one end of the rotating disk, and a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive motor.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the surface of the rotating disk is provided with an arc groove.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the rotating disk and the drive motor.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the circular arc grooves are arranged in a plurality of arrays along the circumference of the rotating disk surface.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning component includes a positioning plate disposed inside the housing, with rotating rods passing through both ends of the positioning plate, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the side of the positioning plate, and a fixing plate rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the positioning plate adopts an arc structure.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a telescopic spring is fixedly connected between the fixing plate and the positioning plate.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, one end of the positioning plate is fixed with an abutment plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In the scheme of this application:

[0017] 1. Using a rotating disc, an arc groove, and a drive motor, the gear pin is manually placed into the arc groove of the rotating disc. The motor is then started to rotate the disc. After being pressed and positioned by gravity, the gear pin rolls out of the groove onto the production line. , This technology enables rapid feeding of gear pins, improving production efficiency and solving the problem of time-consuming unclogging processes that reduce feeding efficiency in existing technologies.

[0018] 2. By using a positioning plate, a telescopic spring, and a connecting plate, the gear pin's gravity presses against the positioning plate. The rotating rod and connecting plate compress the telescopic spring, causing the positioning plate to open and release the gear pin. Subsequently, the spring returns to its original position, pushing the positioning plate back to its original position. This achieves the positioning and installation of the gear pin, making it convenient to use and solving the problem of uneven feeding in existing technologies, which requires adjustment and is inconvenient to use.

[0025] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0029] Example

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An automatic gear pin feeding structure includes a support frame 1, a feeding component 2, and a positioning component 3. The top of the support frame 1 is provided with a feeding component 2 for feeding gear pins, and the inside of the feeding component 2 is provided with a positioning component 3 for positioning and engaging gear pins.

[0031] The feeding assembly 2 includes a housing 201 located at the top of the support frame 1. A rotating disk 202 is disposed inside the housing 201. A drive motor 203 is mounted through one end of the rotating disk 202, and a support plate 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 203. Gear pins are manually inserted from the side of the rotating disk 202 into the arc groove 4. Then, the drive motor 203 is started, causing the connecting rod 5 to rotate, which in turn rotates the rotating disk 202. As the rotating disk 202 rotates, the gear pins in the arc groove 4 begin to press against the positioning assembly 3 due to their own gravity. When the rotating disk 202 rotates the arc groove 4 to its bottom, the gear pins roll out of the arc groove 4 into the housing 201, and then flow out from the outlet of the housing 201 onto the production line. This allows for rapid feeding of gear pins, improving production efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning assembly 3 includes a positioning plate 301 disposed inside the housing 201. Rotating rods 302 pass through both ends of the positioning plate 301. A connecting plate 303 is rotatably connected to the side of the positioning plate 301. A fixing plate 304 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate 303. When the gear pin in the arc groove 4 begins to compress due to its own weight, the gear pin begins to push the positioning plate 301 outward, causing the positioning plate 301 to rotate within the arc groove 4 via the rotating rods 302. Subsequently, the positioning plate 301 compresses the telescopic spring 6 by rotating the connecting plate 303, causing the telescopic spring 6 to begin to compress between the fixing plate 304 and the positioning plate 301. Then, the positioning plate 301 begins to rotate and open, allowing the gear pin to roll out of the arc groove 4. Subsequently, the telescopic spring 6 begins to recover, thereby pushing the positioning plate 301 to rotate in the opposite direction within the arc groove 4 through its elastic deformation, thus resetting the positioning plate 301 and enabling the positioning and installation of the gear pin for convenient use.

[0033] The automatic gear pin feeding structure provided by this utility model is used as follows:

[0034] Manually insert the gear pin into the arc groove 4 from the side of the rotating disk 202. Then start the drive motor 203, which drives the connecting rod 5 to rotate, causing the rotating disk 202 to rotate. As the rotating disk 202 rotates, the gear pin in the arc groove 4 begins to press against the positioning component 3 under its own weight, and the gear pin begins to push the positioning plate 301 outward. The positioning plate 301 rotates in the arc groove 4 via the rotating rod 302, and then the positioning plate 301 rotates via the connecting plate 303. The compression spring 6 is compressed between the fixed plate 304 and the positioning plate 301. Then the positioning plate 301 begins to rotate and open. When the rotating disk 202 drives the arc groove 4 to rotate to the bottom, its gear pin rolls out from the arc groove 4 into the housing 201. Then the compression spring 6 begins to recover. Thus, the compression spring 6 pushes the positioning plate 301 to rotate in the opposite direction in the arc groove 4 through the recovery of elastic deformation, thereby resetting the positioning plate 301. Finally, it flows out from the outlet of the housing 201 onto the production line.
