Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the feeding process plays a crucial role in the efficient operation of the entire production process. Taking the nitriding heat treatment of brake discs for new energy electric vehicles as an example, traditional feeding methods mostly rely on manual operation, which has many drawbacks. Manual operation is prone to errors, resulting in scratches on the surface of the workpiece, affecting product quality. At the same time, it is difficult to accurately position and track the workpiece in the furnace.

[0003] With the development of industrial automation, robotic arms have been gradually applied to the material loading process, which has improved production efficiency and accuracy to a certain extent. However, existing robotic arms still have some problems in actual use. Among them, the connection between the clamping structure and the robotic arm is relatively fixed, making it difficult to quickly change the appropriate clamping structure according to the shape, size and material of different workpieces. When facing various types of brake discs of new energy electric vehicles, the clamping structure cannot be adjusted in time, resulting in limited material loading efficiency and failing to meet diverse production needs.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an adjustable feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-4 An adjustable feeding device includes a base 1, a robot body 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, a support frame 3 provided on one side of the robot body 2, an installation component 4 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame 3, an installation plate 5 movably connected to the bottom of the installation component 4, limit plates 6 fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the top of the installation plate 5, a support block 7 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the installation plate 5, a connecting plate 8 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support block 7, and fixing plates 9 fixedly mounted on both sides of the connecting plate 8, with a clamping component 10 fixedly mounted on one side of one of the fixing plates 9. Mounting assembly 4 includes a housing 401, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame 3. An electric telescopic rod 402 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the housing 401, and an adjusting plate 403 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the electric telescopic rod 402. Arc-shaped grooves 404 are formed on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the adjusting plate 403. Movable rods 405 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the adjusting plate 403. Push plates 406 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the movable rods 405. Baffles 407 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the two push plates 406, and multiple insert rods 408 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the two baffles 407. A first stabilizing plate 409 is fitted onto the surface of the electric telescopic rod 402, and the side of the first stabilizing plate 409 closest to the housing 401 is fixedly connected to the housing 401. A sliding block 410 is fixedly mounted on one side of the baffle 407, and a sliding rod 411 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding block 410. The front and rear sides of the sliding rod 411 are fixedly mounted inside the inner cavity of the housing 401. Stabilizing blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the support block 7, and the side of the stabilizing block 11 closest to the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8.

[0036] During implementation, the height and angle of the gripping assembly 10 are adjusted by the robotic arm body 2. The robotic arm body 2 is a product disclosed in the prior art, and the prior art is very mature, so it will not be described in detail. When it is necessary to remove and replace the gripping assembly 10 from the robotic arm body 2, the electric telescopic rod 402 is activated. When the electric telescopic rod 402 is in use, it drives the adjusting plate 403 to move. When the adjusting plate 403 moves, it drives the two movable rods 405 to move relative to each other through the arc groove 404. When the movable rods 405 move, they drive the push plate 406 and the baffle 407 to move. When the baffle 407 moves, it drives the insertion rod 408 to move, moving the insertion rod 408 out of the inner cavity of the limiting plate 6. This allows for the disassembly of the limiting plate 6 and its bottom clamping assembly 10. When the clamping assembly 10 needs to be installed, the operation is reversed. The clamping assembly 10 can be quickly installed and disassembled. The quick-installation and disassembly clamping assembly 10 allows operators to change the appropriate clamping structure in a short time according to the needs of different workpieces, greatly reducing downtime caused by changing the clamping structure and improving feeding efficiency. Compared with the traditional fixed clamping structure, this device can adapt to the feeding needs of different products more quickly. For example, on the new energy electric vehicle brake disc production line, the clamping structure can be quickly changed according to the shape and size of different batches of brake discs to ensure the efficient operation of the feeding process.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The clamping assembly 10 includes a motor 1001, which is fixedly mounted on one side of one of the fixed plates 9. A rotating rod 1002 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 1001. A first rotating gear 1003 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating rod 1002. A second rotating gear 1004 meshes with the bottom of the first rotating gear 1003. A third rotating gear 1005 meshes with one side of the second rotating gear 1004. A connecting rod 1006 is fixedly mounted inside the cavities of both the second rotating gear 1004 and the third rotating gear 1005. A movable plate 1007 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting rod 1006. An arc-shaped clamp 1008 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the movable plate 1007. An anti-slip pad 1009 is provided on the bottom of the arc-shaped clamp 1008. A second stabilizing plate 1010 is sleeved on the surface of the motor 1001. The side of the second stabilizing plate 1010 closest to the fixed plate 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 9. A bearing seat 1011 is movably connected to one side of the rotating rod 1002, and the side of the bearing seat 1011 closest to the fixed plate 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 9.

[0039] In the implementation process, when it is necessary to clamp and feed the brake disc, the clamping assembly 10 is moved to the top of the brake disc by the robot body 2. The motor 1001 is started, and when the motor 1001 is in use, it drives the first rotating gear 1003 to rotate through the rotating rod 1002. The rotation of the first rotating gear 1003 drives the second rotating gear 1004 to rotate. When the second rotating gear 1004 rotates, it drives the third rotating gear 1005 to rotate. When the second rotating gear 1004 and the third rotating gear 1005 rotate, they drive the two connecting rods 1006 to rotate. When the connecting rods 1006 rotate, they drive the movable plate 1007, the arc-shaped clamp 1008 and the anti-slip pad 1009 to rotate on their surface. The two arc-shaped clamps 1008 and the anti-slip pad 1009 move closer to each other to clamp and fix the brake disc. The robot body 2 then clamps and feeds the brake disc. The robot body 2 provides high precision in feeding the brake disc and is less likely to cause scratches or other quality accidents.
