Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, specifically an auxiliary device for erecting tubular parts. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of aircraft and automotive parts manufacturing, the automated processing of tubular parts (including cylindrical parts open at both ends or closed at one end) has always been a key focus of industry technological research. In some specific processing steps, such as filling, inspection, and assembly, tubular parts need to be stood upright, that is, kept in an upright state with their axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane, before processing.
[0003] In existing technologies, the automated conveying of tubular parts generally uses vibratory feeders. However, vibratory feeders are generally designed for tilted tubular parts. Therefore, the conventional method for standing tubular parts upright mainly relies on manual intervention: operators manually grab the tubular parts, adjust them to an upright position, and then arrange them neatly for conveyor belt transport.
[0004] However, this method is prone to causing employee fatigue, high labor intensity, low work efficiency, poor continuity and regularity, and affects the subsequent material feeding rhythm. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for erecting tubular parts. The tubular parts are conveyed by a first conveyor belt and placed on a guide rod. A rotating shaft drives the guide rod and the tubular parts to rotate. A guide plate limits the bottom of the tubular parts, causing them to sit on a second conveyor belt in an upright position. The parts are then fed via the second conveyor belt. No manual operation is required, resulting in a high degree of automation, high work efficiency, and ensuring continuous operation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary device for erecting tubular parts, comprising a pair of upright plates, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a guide plate, a rotating shaft, a guide rod, and a motor. The pair of upright plates are parallel to each other and vertically arranged. The first and second conveyor belts both convey to the left and are horizontally arranged between the pair of upright plates. The first conveyor belt is higher than the second conveyor belt, and the tail end of the first conveyor belt is to the right of the first section of the second conveyor belt. The guide plate is arranged between the pair of upright plates, has a smooth arc surface, and its upper end receives the tail end of the first conveyor belt, while its lower end receives the tail end of the second conveyor belt. The first section of the conveyor belt is supported by a rotating shaft rotatably mounted between a pair of upright plates, with the shaft's axis at the same height as the axis of the tubular part on the first conveyor belt. The shaft's axis is directly above the first section of the second conveyor belt. The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the upright plates, and its output end is connected to the rotating shaft. The guide rod is vertically mounted on the rotating shaft, with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the tubular part. The rotating shaft drives the guide rod to rotate so that the axis of the guide rod is the same as the axis of the tubular part. The length of the guide rod is less than the distance from the tail end of the first conveyor belt to the rotating shaft, and the sum of the lengths of the guide rod and the tubular part is less than the distance from the first section of the second conveyor belt to the rotating shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating shaft has four guide rods, and the distance between adjacent guide rods is 90 degrees.
[0008] Preferably, the guide plate is provided with a folded edge, which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the upright plate by screws.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the guide rod away from the pivot is spherical.
[0010] Preferably, the guide rod is provided with a retaining plate.
[0011] This utility model provides an auxiliary device for erecting tubular parts, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This utility model uses a first conveyor belt to transport tubular parts, which are then fitted onto a guide rod. A rotating shaft drives the guide rod and the tubular parts to rotate. A guide plate limits the bottom of the tubular parts, allowing them to sit on a second conveyor belt in an upright position. The second conveyor belt then transports the parts for feeding. No manual operation is required, resulting in a high degree of automation, high work efficiency, and ensuring the continuity of work.
[0013] 2. The present invention has four guide rods on the rotating shaft, and the adjacent guide rods are 90 degrees apart. The motor rotates 90 degrees each time, which makes it easier to control the motor. The guide rods are equipped with clamping plates to ensure that the tubular parts are placed in the same position on the guide rods each time, so as to avoid the guide rods hitting the bottom of the tubular parts and damaging the workpiece, or to prevent the guide rods from passing through the bottom of the tubular parts to the next tubular part, which would affect normal operation.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] like Figure 1-3As shown, an auxiliary device for erecting tubular parts includes a pair of upright plates 1, a first conveyor belt 3, a second conveyor belt 4, a guide plate 2, a rotating shaft 5, a guide rod 6, and a motor. The pair of upright plates 1 are parallel to each other and vertically arranged. The first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4 both convey to the left and are horizontally arranged between the pair of upright plates 1. The first conveyor belt 3 is higher than the second conveyor belt 4, and the tail end of the first conveyor belt 3 is to the right of the first section of the second conveyor belt 4. The guide plate 2 is arranged between the pair of upright plates 1. The guide plate 2 has a smooth arc surface 10, and its upper end receives the tail end of the first conveyor belt 3. The lower end of the guide plate 2 receives the first section of the second conveyor belt 4. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably arranged between the pair of upright plates 1, and the height of the shaft center of the rotating shaft 5 is the same as the height of the shaft center of the tubular part on the first conveyor belt 3. The shaft center of the rotating shaft 5 is located at... Directly above the first section of the second conveyor belt 4, the motor is mounted on the outer wall of the upright plate 1, and the motor output end is connected to the rotating shaft 5. The guide rod 6 is vertically mounted on the rotating shaft 5. The diameter of the guide rod 6 is smaller than the inner diameter of the tubular part. The rotating shaft 5 drives the guide rod 6 to rotate so that the axis of the guide rod 6 is the same as the axis of the tubular part. The length of the guide rod 6 is less than the distance from the tail end of the first conveyor belt 3 to the rotating shaft 5. The combined length of the guide rod 6 and the tubular part is less than the distance from the first section of the second conveyor belt 4 to the rotating shaft 5. There are four guide rods 6 on the rotating shaft 5, and the adjacent guide rods 6 are at 90 degrees. The guide plate 2 is provided with a folded edge 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upright plate 1 by screws 11. The end of the guide rod 6 away from the rotating shaft 5 is provided as a spherical surface 8. A clamping plate 7 is provided on the guide rod 6.
[0020] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, as follows:
[0021] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 As can be seen, when this utility model is working, the first conveyor belt 3 can convey tilted tubular parts that are on the same axis. The tilted tubular parts on the same axis can achieve this state using a vibratory feeder in the prior art. First, the motor drives the rotating shaft 5 and the guide rod 6 to rotate, aligning the guide rod 6 with the tubular part. The motor is not shown in the accompanying drawings, but using existing technology, it is best to use a servo motor with an encoder and reducer; the motor's configuration is easily understood by those skilled in the art. Then, the first conveyor belt 3 conveys the tubular part to the left, so that it fits onto the guide rod 6, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, it's important to note that the tubular part fitted onto the guide rod 6 needs to be completely pushed out of the first conveyor belt 3 during the conveying process of the first conveyor belt 3. Next, the motor drives the rotating shaft 5, guide rod 6, and the tubular part on the guide rod 6 to rotate clockwise again, as shown... Figure 2As shown, during rotation, the tubular part, due to gravity, slides its bottom on the arc surface 10 of the guide plate 2 and gradually detaches from the guide rod 6. The guide plate 2 ensures that the tubular part stably detaches from the guide rod 6 and falls stably onto the second conveyor belt 4. Finally, when the guide rod 6 is completely downward, the tubular part completely detaches from it and sits on the second conveyor belt 4 in an upright position. It is then conveyed to the left by the second conveyor belt 4 for subsequent loading. This utility model uses the first conveyor belt 3 to transport the tubular part, which is then fitted onto the guide rod 6. The rotating shaft 5 drives the guide rod 6 and the tubular part to rotate. The guide plate 2 limits the bottom of the tubular part, causing it to sit on the second conveyor belt 4 in an upright position. It is then conveyed by the second conveyor belt 4 for loading. This process is repeated, continuously raising the tubular parts that have tilted on the first conveyor belt 3 onto the second conveyor belt 4. No manual operation is required, resulting in a high degree of automation, high work efficiency, and ensuring the continuity of work.
[0022] The rotating shaft 5 has four guide rods 6, and the distance between adjacent guide rods 6 is 90 degrees. The motor can lift the tubular parts by rotating 90 degrees each time, which makes it easier to control the motor and ensures stable operation.
[0023] The guide plate 2 is provided with a folded edge 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upright plate 1 by screws 11, so that the position can be easily adjusted when different parts are replaced.
[0024] The guide rod 6 is shaped into a spherical surface 8 at the end away from the rotating shaft 5 to facilitate the insertion of tubular parts.
[0025] The guide rod 6 is equipped with a retaining plate 7 to ensure that the tubular part is always placed in the same position on the guide rod 6, ensuring stable operation, controlling the length, preventing the guide rod 6 from hitting the bottom of the tubular part and damaging the workpiece, or preventing the guide rod 6 from passing through the bottom of the tubular part to the next tubular part, thus affecting normal operation.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
