Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake disc storage, specifically to an automatic brake disc stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing and parts production industry, brake discs are a critical component of the vehicle's braking system, and their production and post-processing handling are of paramount importance. After completing a series of processing steps, brake discs need to be stacked for subsequent transportation, storage, and management. However, traditional brake disc stacking methods have several problems.

[0003] Traditional palletizing relies primarily on manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Manual palletizing has limited speed, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. This can lead to brake disc accumulation on the production line, disrupting the entire production process. Furthermore, during manual palletizing, factors such as worker skill level and physical strength make it difficult to guarantee the neatness and stability of the pallets. Uneven palletizing can cause brake discs to collide and be damaged during storage and transportation, increasing production costs and product defect rates.

[0004] To address the problems associated with traditional palletizing methods and improve the efficiency, quality, and automation of brake disc palletizing, developing an automatic brake disc palletizing device is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic brake disc stacking device, which realizes mechanized stacking of brake discs through a stacking mechanism, thereby improving stacking efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and reducing labor intensity.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic brake disc palletizing device, including a palletizing mechanism, which consists of a drive component for moving the palletizing frame and a feeding component for pushing the brake disc to move.

[0007] The drive assembly includes a base plate for placing the palletizing rack. A ramp for unloading is securely mounted on one side of the base plate, and a linear slide is located at the bottom of the base plate, allowing the palletizing rack to slide slidably on the base plate. In other words, the drive assembly moves the palletizing rack, while the feeding assembly moves the brake disc. Through the cooperation of the drive assembly and the feeding assembly, the brake disc is transferred from the feeding end to the palletizing rack, completing the automated palletizing process, improving palletizing efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor intensity. Simultaneously, the ramp on one side of the base plate facilitates unloading after palletizing, making the entire process smoother.

[0008] The linear slide table includes a groove at the bottom of the base plate. A screw is rotatably mounted inside the groove, and a slider is threadedly connected to the screw. The slider slides within the groove as the screw rotates. The palletizing frame is connected to the slider via a connector. In other words, the threaded connection between the screw and the slider converts the screw's rotational motion into the slider's linear motion, thus enabling the palletizing frame to slide on the base plate. Compared to traditional movement methods, screw drive offers higher precision and controllability, accurately moving the palletizing frame to the designated position and ensuring the brake discs are accurately placed on the palletizing frame, improving the neatness and stability of the palletizing.

[0009] A geared motor for driving the screw rotation is installed on one side of the chute. The output shaft of the geared motor passes through the side wall of the chute and is connected to the screw via a coupling. This means that by using the geared motor, the screw's rotational speed can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby controlling the movement speed of the palletizing frame. This allows the device to operate flexibly under different production environments and requirements, improving its adaptability and versatility. Simultaneously, the use of a coupling ensures a reliable connection between the motor and the screw, reducing energy loss and the probability of malfunctions during power transmission.

[0010] The feeding assembly includes an extension frame mounted on one side of the base plate, with a feeding plate securely installed on top of the extension frame. In other words, by setting up the extension frame and feeding plate, a stable platform is provided for feeding the brake discs. A suitable height design facilitates the smooth entry of the brake discs into the stacking area, avoiding problems such as jamming or falling due to improper height, thus improving the smoothness and stability of the feeding process.

[0011] A transverse block is slidably mounted on the feed plate, and the transverse block is slidably positioned on the surface of the feed plate via two guide grooves. That is, the guide grooves ensure the straightness and stability of the transverse block's movement, allowing it to move accurately along a predetermined path, thereby ensuring that the pusher plate can accurately push the brake disc into the stacking rack. At the same time, the guide grooves also provide guidance and support, reducing the swaying and offset of the transverse block during movement, and improving the reliability of the device.

[0012] A hydraulic push rod is securely mounted on one side of the traverse block to drive its movement. This hydraulic push rod allows for rapid and accurate movement of the traverse block, ensuring the brake disc is pushed onto the palletizing rack promptly and smoothly. The larger thrust allows for the adaptation of brake discs of different sizes and weights, improving the applicability of the device. Furthermore, the hydraulic push rod exhibits high operational stability, maintaining good performance during extended operation and reducing equipment failures.

[0013] A push plate for pushing the brake disc is connected to one side of the transverse block. Specifically, the grooves on the push plate effectively prevent the brake disc from slipping or shifting during the pushing process, ensuring that the brake disc is accurately pushed onto the palletizing rack. This not only improves the accuracy and stability of palletizing but also reduces the probability of brake disc damage during palletizing, guaranteeing product quality.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. Through the cooperation of the drive component and the feeding component in the palletizing mechanism, the automated palletizing process of the brake disc from feeding to the palletizing rack is realized. The drive component can move the palletizing rack, and the feeding component can push the brake disc to move, reducing manual operation, improving palletizing efficiency, and reducing labor intensity.

[0016] 2. The drive assembly adopts a linear slide structure, driven by a geared motor to rotate the screw, causing the slider threadedly connected to the screw to slide in the slide groove, thereby moving the palletizing frame. This allows for precise control of the palletizing frame's position, ensuring accurate palletizing of the brake disc and improving the neatness and stability of the palletizing.

[0017] 3. The transverse block of the feeding assembly slides within the guide groove of the feeding plate and is driven by a hydraulic push rod, which can smoothly push the brake disc. The push plate has a groove that matches the brake disc, which can better fit the brake disc and prevent the brake disc from shifting or shaking during the pushing process, ensuring that the brake disc enters the stacking rack smoothly.

[0018] 4. Install a ramp for unloading on one side of the base plate. After stacking is completed, the brake disc can be easily unloaded through the ramp, improving the smoothness of the entire stacking and unloading process and further improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 In one embodiment shown: This embodiment provides an automatic brake disc palletizing device, including a palletizing mechanism 10. The palletizing mechanism 10 consists of a drive assembly 11 for moving a palletizing frame 20 and a feeding assembly 12 for pushing the brake disc to move. The drive assembly 11 includes a base plate 111 for placing the palletizing frame 20. An inclined plate 112 for unloading is firmly installed on one side of the base plate 111, and a linear slide 113 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 111. The palletizing frame 20 is slidably mounted on the base plate 111 by means of the linear slide 113. Nine or more screw rods are provided on the palletizing frame. When the brake discs are being palletized, the threads on the screw rods cause the brake discs to rotate and descend during the descent process, avoiding damage to the brake discs due to excessive descent speed.

[0026] On the brake disc production line, after the brake discs are produced, they need to be stacked and stored. The stacking rack 20 is placed on the base plate 111, and the feeding assembly 12 pushes the brake discs to the appropriate position. Then, the drive assembly 11 uses a linear slide 113 to move the stacking rack 20 along the base plate 111 according to the stacking requirements, adjusting the stacking position. After stacking is complete, the stacked brake discs can be unloaded by sliding down the inclined plate 112.

[0027] The drive assembly 11 controls the movement of the palletizing frame 20, and the feeding assembly 12 is responsible for pushing the brake disc. The two work together to automate the palletizing process of the brake disc and improve palletizing efficiency. The inclined plate 112 facilitates subsequent unloading operations and improves the smoothness of the entire production process.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: The linear slide table 113 includes a slide groove 1131 disposed at the bottom of the base plate 111. A screw 1132 is rotatably mounted inside the slide groove 1131. A slider 1133 is mounted on the screw 1132 by means of a threaded connection. The slider 1133 slides in the slide groove 1131 by the rotation of the screw 1132. The palletizing frame 20 is connected to the slider 1133 through a connector 30.

[0029] During actual operation, the geared motor 1134 starts, driving the screw 1132 to rotate within the slide groove 1131. Since the slider 1133 and the screw 1132 are threadedly connected, the rotation of the screw 1132 causes the slider 1133 to slide within the slide groove 1131 along the axial direction of the screw 1132. The palletizing frame 20 is connected to the slider 1133 via the connector 30, so the sliding of the slider 1133 causes the palletizing frame 20 to move on the base plate 111, thereby adjusting the position of the palletizing frame 20.

[0030] The movement of the palletizing frame 20 is achieved by using a threaded connection between the screw 1132 and the slider 1133, which has high precision and stability. The threaded drive can convert rotary motion into linear motion and can precisely control the movement distance of the slider 1133, thereby precisely controlling the position of the palletizing frame 20 and ensuring that the brake disc can be accurately placed on the palletizing frame 20.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown: A geared motor 1134 for driving the screw 1132 to rotate is installed on one side of the slide groove 1131. The output shaft of the geared motor 1134 passes through the side wall of the slide groove 1131 and is connected to the screw 1132 through a coupling.

[0032] During the brake disc stacking process, when the stacking frame 20 needs to be moved, the operator starts the geared motor 1134. The output shaft of the geared motor 1134 begins to rotate, transmitting power to the screw 1132 via a coupling. This causes the screw 1132 to rotate within the slide groove 1131, thereby moving the slider 1133 and the stacking frame 20. By controlling the start, stop, and speed of the geared motor 1134, the movement of the stacking frame 20 can be precisely controlled.

[0033] A geared motor 1134 provides a stable and controllable power source for the rotation of the screw 1132. The geared motor 1134 can adjust its speed according to actual needs, thereby controlling the moving speed of the palletizing frame 20 and preventing uneven stacking of the brake discs or equipment damage due to excessive speed. The use of a coupling ensures the reliability of power transmission, making the entire drive system more stable and efficient.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown: The feeding assembly 12 includes an extension frame 121 disposed on one side of the base plate 111, and a feeding plate 122 is firmly installed on the top of the extension frame 121.

[0035] When the brake discs enter the palletizing stage, they are first conveyed to the feed plate 122 at the top of the riser 121. The feed plate 122 serves to receive the brake discs, providing a platform for subsequently pushing them onto the palletizing rack 20. For example, in a production workshop, a conveyor belt transports the brake discs to the feed plate 122 to await palletizing.

[0036] The riser 121 and feed plate 122 enable the brake disc to enter the palletizing process at a suitable height. The riser 121 can be adjusted in height according to actual conditions to adapt to different production environments and palletizing requirements. The feed plate 122 provides a stable plane for the movement of the brake disc, facilitating the operation of the subsequent feed assembly 12.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown: A transverse block 123 is slidably mounted on the feed plate 122. The transverse block 123 is slidably disposed on the surface of the feed plate 122 through two guide grooves 124.

[0038] When the brake disc is on the feed plate 122, the transverse block 123 can slide on the surface of the feed plate 122 under the constraint of the two guide grooves 124. For example, when it is necessary to push the brake disc onto the stacking rack 20, the transverse block 123 moves along the guide groove 124, thereby driving the push plate 126 connected thereto to move and push the brake disc away.

[0039] The guide grooves 124 are configured to guide the sliding of the transverse block 123, ensuring the straightness and stability of the transverse block 123's movement. The two guide grooves 124 can better restrict the movement direction of the transverse block 123, preventing the transverse block 123 from deviating during movement, thereby ensuring that the brake disc can be accurately pushed onto the palletizing rack 20.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown: A hydraulic push rod 125 for driving the movement of the transverse block 123 is firmly installed on one side of the transverse block 123.

[0041] When the brake disc needs to be pushed, the hydraulic push rod 125 is activated, and its piston rod extends or retracts, causing the connected transverse block 123 to slide along the guide groove 124 on the feed plate 122. For example, when the brake disc reaches the designated position on the feed plate 122, the hydraulic push rod 125 pushes the transverse block 123, causing the push plate 126 to push the brake disc toward the stacking rack 20.

[0042] The hydraulic push rod 125 has a large thrust and good control performance. It can precisely control the moving distance and speed of the transverse block 123 according to actual needs, and can quickly and stably push the brake disc, ensuring that the brake disc is stacked efficiently and accurately.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown: A push plate 126 for pushing the brake disc is connected and installed on one side of the transverse block 123. When the transverse block 123 moves under the drive of the hydraulic push rod 125, the push plate 126 moves accordingly.

[0044] Since the push plate 126 has a groove 127 that matches the brake disc, the brake disc will be embedded in the groove 127. During the movement, the push plate 126 can stably push the brake disc and push it from the feed plate 122 to the stacking rack 20.

[0045] The groove 127 on the push plate 126 is adapted to the brake disc, increasing the contact area and friction between the push plate 126 and the brake disc, making the push plate 126 more stable when pushing the brake disc, avoiding the brake disc from sliding or deviating during the pushing process, and improving the accuracy and stability of the brake disc stacking.

[0046] like Figure 4 Another embodiment shown: When stacking brake discs on a flat surface, the inclined plate can be removed. A gantry robot, controlled by a computer, stacks the brake discs in a staggered manner according to coordinates X, Y, and Z. Used in conjunction with the stacking frame 20, this allows for flexible adjustment of the stacking strategy based on different sizes and specifications of brake discs and material boxes, adapting to the production needs of various products, improving the flexibility and versatility of the production line. Furthermore, the threads on the stacking frame 20 slow down the descent speed of the brake discs, preventing damage such as rust and impacts that could occur due to excessively fast descent, thus improving product quality.

[0047] The method of using this utility model is as follows: The palletizing frame 20 is placed on the base plate 111 and connected to the slider 1133 of the linear slide table 113 via the connector 30, ensuring a secure connection. Then, the brake disc to be palletized is placed on the feed plate 122 via a robotic arm or conveyor belt, ready for palletizing operation. Next, the reduction motor 1134 is started, and its output shaft drives the screw 1132 to rotate via a coupling. Since the slider 1133 is threaded onto the screw 1132, the rotation of the screw 1132 causes the slider 1133 to slide within the groove 1131. The slider 1133, through the connector 30, drives the palletizing frame 20 on the base plate 111. The linear slide 113 moves the palletizing frame 20 to a suitable palletizing position to receive the brake disc. Then, the hydraulic push rod 125 is activated, which pushes the transverse block 123 to slide along the guide groove 124 on the feed plate 122. The push plate 126 connected to one side of the transverse block 123 moves together with the transverse block 123. The push plate 126 is provided with a groove 127 that matches the brake disc. During the movement of the push plate 126, the groove 127 contacts the brake disc, pushing the brake disc from the feed plate 122 toward the palletizing frame 20. After being pushed by the push plate 126, the brake disc slides down the feed plate 122 onto the palletizing frame 20, completing the palletizing operation of one brake disc.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
