Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing inner ring feeding technology, specifically a bearing inner ring feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The bearing inner ring is one of the main components of a bearing. During the machining process, the circumferential outer wall of the bearing inner ring is machined using a crimping machine to form an arc-shaped groove on the circumferential outer wall of the bearing inner ring, which serves as a limit for the insertion of spherical rollers.

[0003] Current bearing inner ring feeding devices on the market utilize their automated feeding function. Through the linkage design of the pushing component and the material guide plate, they can directionally transport bearing inner rings from the storage bin to the discharge port while maintaining the upright position of the bearing inner rings. This includes a spacer ring positioning structure, and the feeding can be automated according to a preset program. However, due to poor storage stability design, existing bearing inner ring feeding devices are prone to tilting, displacement, and collapse under high-frequency pushing conditions in daily use. This can interfere with the normal discharge of the lower inner rings, leading to frequent jamming at the discharge port, making it difficult to ensure continuous operation of the production line, and reducing feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bearing inner ring feeding device. Through the cooperation of structures such as a pusher rod and a balancing component, it solves the problem that the upper bearing inner ring is not stable enough in existing bearing inner ring feeding devices, which is prone to tilting, displacement and collapse, resulting in frequent material jamming at the discharge port.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A bearing inner ring feeding device includes a base, a storage box fixed on the base, and a feeding groove on the storage box; it also includes a pushing drive source mounted on the base, connected to the storage box, with a retractable output shaft fixed at one end of the pushing drive source, located inside the feeding groove, and a pushing rod fixed at the other end of the retractable output shaft; a discharge port is provided on the left side of the storage box, communicating with the feeding groove; a sliding groove is provided inside the storage box; the bearing inner ring is in an upright state when it abuts against the inner wall of the storage box, and is pushed towards the discharge port by the pushing rod; and a balancing component mounted on the storage box, with a controller installed on the balancing component, which keeps the upper bearing inner ring stable.

[0007] Preferably, the balancing component includes a lifting motor, which is fixed to the storage box by a motor frame, and a screw is fixed to the output end of the lifting motor by a coupling, with the screw located in a sliding groove.

[0008] Preferably, a limit rod is fixed inside the sliding groove, and a balance plate is slidably connected to the screw and the limit rod, with a controller installed on the balance plate.

[0009] Preferably, a limit block and an extension plate are fixed on the push rod, and the limit block and the extension plate are connected by a buffer pad, which can reduce the noise caused by collision during pushing and help extend the service life of the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, a displacement sensor is installed at the top of the push rod, and the controller and the displacement sensor are connected via Bluetooth, which can accurately detect the position of the push rod and facilitate precise control of the feeding.

[0011] Preferably, a hinge shaft is fixed inside the storage box, and a baffle plate is fitted on the hinge shaft, which has good adaptability and helps to improve the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0012] Preferably, a baffle is installed on the discharge port. The baffle is made of metal, which is not easily deformed or damaged, and prevents the inner ring of the bearing from accidentally overflowing or falling out of the discharge port during the discharge process.

[0013] Preferably, the baffle is made of aluminum alloy and coated with a tungsten carbide layer, which can withstand greater impact and friction, reducing the load on the equipment.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes Bluetooth linkage between a designed balancing component and a displacement sensor on the push rod. During feeding, when the displacement sensor detects contact, collision of the push rod, or contact with products of different specifications, it enables the balancing plate to descend precisely, reduces impact, and allows the baffle plate to adjust its angle flexibly and stabilize against impact. Unlike traditional bearing inner ring feeding devices, this invention ensures intelligent control of actions during feeding, combines versatility and durability, truly achieves efficient automated feeding, improves overall equipment performance, and greatly enhances feeding efficiency.

[0016] This utility model features a designed hinged shaft and baffle plate combination structure, which allows for flexible adjustment of the baffle plate angle to adapt to different bearing inner ring feeding requirements. A metal baffle plate is installed at the discharge port to provide stable obstruction and guidance for the discharge, improving the degree of automation and operational flexibility, preventing accidental overflow or drop of bearing inner rings, and enhancing feeding stability and efficiency. The aluminum alloy baffle plate with a tungsten carbide coating can withstand greater impact and friction while reducing equipment load, greatly improving the smoothness of equipment operation.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 A bearing inner ring feeding device includes a base 1, a storage box 2 fixed on the base 1, and a feeding groove 3 on the storage box 2; it also includes a pushing drive source 4 installed on the base 1, the pushing drive source 4 being connected to the storage box 2, a retractable output shaft 5 fixed at one end of the pushing drive source 4, the retractable output shaft 5 being located inside the feeding groove 3, and a pushing rod 6 fixed at the other end of the retractable output shaft 5; a discharge port 7 is opened on the left side of the storage box 2, the discharge port 7 communicating with the feeding groove 3; a sliding groove 8 is opened inside the storage box 2; when the bearing inner ring abuts against the inner wall of the storage box, it is in an upright state, and the pushing rod 6 pushes the bearing inner ring to move towards the discharge port 7; and a balancing component 9 installed on the storage box 2, a controller 10 installed on the balancing component 9, the balancing component 9 being used to keep the upper bearing inner ring stable.

[0026] The following describes some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 5 Through Bluetooth linkage between the designed balancing component 9 and the displacement sensor 18 on the push rod 6, during feeding, when the displacement sensor 18 detects contact, collision of the push rod 6, or facing products of different specifications, the balancing plate 14 is precisely lowered to reduce impact, and the baffle plate 20 is flexibly adjusted in angle and the baffle plate 21 is stabilized to resist impact. Unlike traditional bearing inner ring feeding devices, this device ensures intelligent control of actions during feeding, combines versatility and durability, truly achieves efficient automated feeding, improves the overall performance of the equipment, and greatly enhances feeding efficiency.

[0028] Among them, the balancing component 9 includes a lifting motor 11, which is fixed on the storage box 2 by a motor frame. The output end of the lifting motor 11 is fixed with a screw 12 by a coupling. The screw 12 is located in the sliding groove 8. A limit rod 13 is fixed in the sliding groove 8. A balancing plate 14 is slidably connected to the screw 12 and the limit rod 13. A controller 10 is installed on the balancing plate 14.

[0029] In addition, the push rod 6 is fixed with a limit block 15 and an extension plate 16. The limit block 15 and the extension plate 16 are connected by a buffer pad 17, which can reduce the noise caused by collision during pushing and help extend the equipment life.

[0030] Meanwhile, a displacement sensor 18 is installed at the top of the push rod 6. The controller 10 and the displacement sensor 18 are connected via Bluetooth, which can accurately detect the position of the push rod 6, making it easy to achieve precise control of feeding.

[0031] In this technical solution, such as Figure 2 - Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 21 is installed on the discharge port 7. The baffle 21 is made of metal and is not easily deformed or damaged, preventing the inner ring of the bearing from accidentally overflowing or falling out of the discharge port 7 during the discharge process. A hinge shaft 19 is fixed inside the storage box 2, and a baffle plate 20 is fitted on the hinge shaft 19. It has good adaptability and is conducive to improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0032] In addition, the baffle plate 20 is made of aluminum alloy and coated with a tungsten carbide layer, which can withstand greater impact and friction, reducing the load on the equipment.

[0033] The following describes the feeding method for the bearing inner ring:

[0034] Before the device starts operating, the operator places the bearing inner ring into the storage box 2 through the feed chute 3, making it stand upright against the inner wall of the storage box. Simultaneously, the lifting motor 11 of the balancing component 9 is fixed to the storage box 2 via a motor frame, and its output end is connected to the screw 12 in the sliding groove 8 via a coupling. A limit rod 13 in the sliding groove 8 slides on the screw 12, and a balance plate 14 with a controller 10 is slidably connected to it. The displacement sensor 18 at the top of the push rod 6 establishes a connection with the controller 10 via Bluetooth. When the push drive source 4 starts and the retractable output shaft 5 moves the push rod 6 in the feed chute 3 to prepare for pushing, the displacement sensor 18 monitors the position of the push rod 6 and detects its position. After contacting the inner ring of the bearing, the signal is transmitted to the controller 10. Upon receiving the signal, the controller 10 sends a command to the lifting motor 11. The motor rotates, causing the screw 12 to rotate, which in turn causes the balance plate 14 to slide down along the screw 12 and the limit rod 13 to approach and press against the inner ring of the upper bearing, preventing it from becoming disordered, tilted, or piled up, thus ensuring smooth material feeding. After the material feeding is completed, the displacement sensor 18 detects that the push rod 6 has reached the designated position and transmits a signal to the controller 10. The controller 10 then controls the motor to reverse so that the balance plate 14 rises and resets. In this way, the balance component 9 and the displacement sensor 18 on the push rod 6 work together to achieve dynamic balance control of the inner ring of the upper bearing, ensuring stable and efficient material feeding.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
