Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a material changing mechanism, specifically a material changing mechanism for a clutch retaining spring. Background Technology

[0002] A bushing is installed on the clutch shaft. After installation, a retaining circlip needs to be installed on the shaft above the bushing to restrict its position. Due to tolerances during the bushing's manufacturing process, the bushing length is not perfectly uniform, resulting in varying height differences between the bushing and the retaining groove. When assembling the retaining circlip, a circlip of appropriate thickness must be selected based on the height difference between the bushing and the groove to fully restrict the bushing's position after installation. If the circlip thickness is too small, it cannot fully restrain the bushing, easily causing the bushing to slide on the shaft. If the circlip thickness is too large, it cannot be installed in the groove on the shaft. Therefore, a variety of retaining circlip specifications need to be stocked for selection. Since the bushing lengths vary, retaining circlips of different thicknesses are used; when a particular type of retaining circlip runs out, it needs to be replenished promptly. Using the AGV's material tray loading rod allows for convenient replenishment of retaining circlips. However, in the automatic assembly device for retaining springs disclosed in patent application CN222626791U, during material feeding, the retaining springs slide down the material rod one by one. Without limiting the retaining springs on the material rod, they are prone to slipping off during assembly, causing premature drop and affecting the sequential feeding. Therefore, improvements are necessary to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material changing mechanism that facilitates the assembly of the material rod and ensures that the clutch retaining spring does not affect the feeding process.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] A material changing mechanism for a clutch retainer spring comprises a base, a material rod, an assembly support, a push-pull cylinder, a magnetic head, and insert plates. The material rods are evenly arranged in rows on the base. The mechanism is characterized in that: the material rods are connected to the base via the assembly support; slots are provided on the material rods; a push-pull cylinder is installed on the assembly support, and a magnetic head is provided at the piston rod end of the push-pull cylinder. Insert plates are magnetically attracted to the magnetic head, and the insert plates are inserted into the slots.

[0006] The assembly support is provided with a limiting slot; the material rod is provided with a locking plate, which is inserted into the limiting slot; the bottom of the locking plate and the assembly support are provided with multiple through pin holes at intervals.

[0007] The insert is T-shaped.

[0008] The assembly support is provided with a guide groove, and the insert is slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0009] The material rod is fitted with a lead weight, and a lifting groove is provided at the top end of the material rod.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] The clutch retaining ring replacement mechanism uses a push-pull cylinder in conjunction with a magnetic suction head to insert a insert into a slot on the feed rod. This insert restricts the position of the retaining ring on the feed rod, preventing it from falling off during installation and greatly simplifying the process. After installation, the insert can be easily pulled out of the feed rod using the magnetic suction head, minimizing interference with the retaining ring feeding. Simultaneously, the magnetic connection between the insert and the magnetic suction head allows for easy disengagement, facilitating the removal of the feed rod. This solves the problem of premature retaining ring detachment during existing feed rod replacement processes, which affects retaining ring feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The clutch retaining ring changing mechanism consists of a base 1, a feed rod 2, an assembly support 3, a push-pull cylinder 4, a magnetic head 5, and a insert 6. The feed rods 2 are evenly arranged in rows on the base 1, and are connected to the base 1 via the assembly support 3. A retaining ring is fitted onto each feed rod 2 for feeding the retaining ring. A slot 7 is provided on the feed rod 2. The push-pull cylinder 4 is mounted on the assembly support 3, and a magnetic head 5 is provided at the piston rod end of the push-pull cylinder 4. The magnetic head 5 magnetically attracts the insert 6, which is inserted into and connected to the slot 7. The function of the push-pull cylinder 4 is to drive the magnetic head 5 to move, thereby causing the insert 6 to move through the magnetic force of the magnetic head 5, allowing the insert 6 to be inserted into or removed from the slot 7 of the feed rod 2. When the insert 6 is inserted into the slot 7 of the feed rod 2, it limits the retaining spring on the feed rod 2, preventing it from falling off prematurely during transfer or installation. This facilitates the transfer and installation of the feed rod 2 and prevents the retaining spring from falling off prematurely, thus minimizing disruption to material feeding. When the insert 6 is removed from the slot 7, it does not obstruct the falling of the retaining spring on the feed rod 2, ensuring normal material feeding. Because the insert 6 is magnetically connected to the magnetic head 5, it can be easily disconnected from or connected to the magnetic head 5. This allows for easy removal of the feed rod after the insert 6 is inserted into the slot 7; or, after the feed rod 2 is installed, the insert 6 can be easily connected to the magnetic head 5, allowing for easy removal of the insert 6 from the feed rod 2.

[0018] The assembly support 3 is provided with a limiting groove 8; the material rod 2 is provided with a locking plate 9, which is inserted and connected to the limiting groove 8; the bottom of the locking plate 9 and the assembly support 3 are provided with multiple through pin holes 10 at intervals. The function of the limiting groove 8 is to limit the position of the locking plate 9, thereby limiting the position of the material rod 2. The function of the pin holes 10 is to fix the bottom end of the locking plate 9 to the assembly support 3 by means of the pin holes 10 and the pins, thereby fixing the material rod 2 to the assembly support 3, so that the material rod 2 stands upright above the base 1. The function of the locking plate 9 is to limit the position of the retaining spring on the material rod 2, thereby limiting the direction of the retaining spring, so that the retaining spring can feed material in the same direction.

[0019] The insert 6 is T-shaped so that after the first end of the insert 6 is inserted into the material rod 2, the tail end of the insert 6 is not easily inserted into the material rod 2. Thus, the tail end of the insert 6 restricts the position of the insert 6 on the material rod 2, making it less likely for the insert 6 to fall off the material rod 2 during the transfer process.

[0020] The assembly support 3 is provided with a guide groove 11, and the insert 6 is slidably connected to the guide groove 11. The function of the guide groove 11 is to guide the insert 6 so that the insert 6 can be accurately inserted into the slot 7 on the material rod 2.

[0021] A lead weight 12 is fitted onto the material rod 2, so that the weight of the lead weight 12 presses down on the retaining spring, thereby facilitating the downward movement of the retaining spring and thus facilitating the feeding of the retaining spring. A lifting slot 13 is provided at the top end of the material rod 2, so that it can be easily gripped by a robot or held by a human hand, thereby facilitating the lifting of the material rod 2 and thus facilitating its transfer.

[0022] After the retaining ring on the material rod 2 of the clutch retaining ring replacement mechanism is used up, during material replacement, the push-pull cylinder 4 is activated. The push-pull cylinder 4 drives the insert 6 through the magnetic suction head 5 to insert into the slot 7 on the material rod 2, and the plumb bob 12 abuts against the insert 6. After the insert 6 is inserted into place, it holds or clamps the top end of the material rod 2 to fix the material rod 2. After the material rod 2 is fixed, the pin on the mounting bracket 3 is pulled out, and the material rod 2 is pulled vertically upward, so that the insert 6 is disengaged from the magnetic suction head 5 and the locking plate 9 is disengaged from the locking groove 8. After the locking plate 9 is disengaged from the locking groove 8, the material rod 2 is transferred.

[0023] When the clutch retaining ring changing mechanism is loading material, the material rod 2, with the retaining ring mounted on it, is transferred to the top of the assembly support 3. The retaining plate 9 is inserted into the retaining groove 8, aligning the pin hole 10 on the retaining plate 9 with the retaining hole 10 on the assembly support 3. After the pin hole 10 is aligned, a pin is inserted into the pin hole 10 to fix the retaining plate 9 to the assembly support 3, thereby fixing the material rod 2 to the assembly support 3. After the material rod 2 is fixed, the push-pull cylinder 4 is activated. The push-pull cylinder 4 drives the magnetic suction head 5 to move towards the insert plate 6, and the insert plate 6 is attracted to the magnetic suction head 5 by magnetic force. After the insert plate 6 is attracted, the push-pull cylinder 4 resets, and the push-pull cylinder 4 pulls the insert plate 6 out of the material rod 2 through the magnetic suction head 5, releasing the retaining ring from the limit of the insert plate 6, allowing the retaining ring to be loaded normally.

[0024] The clutch retaining ring replacement mechanism uses a push-pull cylinder in conjunction with a magnetic suction head to insert a insert into a slot on the feed rod. This insert restricts the position of the retaining ring on the feed rod, preventing it from falling off during installation and greatly simplifying the process. After installation, the insert can be easily pulled out of the feed rod using the magnetic suction head, minimizing interference with the retaining ring feeding. Simultaneously, the magnetic connection between the insert and the magnetic suction head allows for easy disengagement, facilitating the removal of the feed rod. This solves the problem of premature retaining ring detachment during existing feed rod replacement processes, which affects retaining ring feeding.
