Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub sorting, specifically a conveying device for wheel hub sorting. Background Technology

[0002] A wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component at the center of a wheel, where the axle is mounted. It supports the tire and transmits power, while also connecting the brake drum (disc), wheel disc, and half-shaft. During wheel hub production, defective products may occur. To ensure production quality, these defective products need to be sorted and transported, thus requiring a conveying device. The "Conveying and Sorting Mechanism for Wheel Hub Processing" disclosed in application number "202222276754.2" represents an increasingly mature technology. It uses a photoelectric sensor to detect the wheel hub and control the conveyor motor of the first conveyor to stop, thereby stopping the conveying. It eliminates the need for a stop lever, ensuring normal conveying and sorting of wheel hubs. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to move wheel hubs when they are close together. "The device only requires manual control to operate step by step until all wheel hubs are conveyed normally, which greatly reduces the amount of manual labor." However, this conveying device still has the following drawbacks during use: While the device can indeed sort wheel hubs through the set baffles and the conveying motor, the sorting efficiency achieved by the above structure alone is not significant. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a conveying device that can simultaneously sort multiple wheel hubs and improve sorting efficiency. In addition, this conveying device is not convenient for automatically unloading wheel hubs as needed, thus affecting the ease of use of the conveying device. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a conveying device that can automatically unload wheel hubs and improve ease of use. Utility Model Content

Several sorting plates 104 are installed on the upper end of the conveyor rollers 101, a transmission mechanism 105 is installed on one end of one of the conveyor rollers 101, a micro motor 106 is installed on the lower end of each sorting plate 104, and several photoelectric sensors 107 are installed on the opposite side of the sorting plate 104.

[0025] The feeding assembly 200 includes two side plates 201 installed at one end of the conveying roller 101. A plurality of feeding rollers 202 are rotatably connected between the two side plates 201. Two feeding plates 203 are installed on the upper end of the plurality of feeding rollers 202. Circular grooves 204 are opened on the surface of the two feeding plates 203. A lead screw 205 and a guide rod 206 are respectively installed on both sides of the two feeding plates 203. A stepper motor 207 is installed at one end of the lead screw 205.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the sorting component 100, in conjunction with the unloading component 200, can simultaneously perform automatic sorting and conveying of multiple defective wheel hubs, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of the conveying device. Furthermore, the combined structure facilitates automatic unloading of the wheel hubs, enhancing the ease of use of the conveying device. In operation, the wheel hubs are first stacked on the top of two unloading plates 203. Then, the stepper motor 207 is started, causing the lead screw 205 to rotate counterclockwise. The guide rod 206, in conjunction with the guide rod 206, controls the two unloading plates 203 to move away from each other along the lead screw 205, thereby controlling... The hub passes through two feed plates 203 and falls onto the upper end of the feed roller 202. The feed roller 202 can transport the hub to the upper end of the conveyor roller 101. At this time, the transmission mechanism 105 is started to rotate one of the synchronous pulleys 102. In conjunction with the synchronous belt 103, it can transport several conveyor rollers 101 to transport the hub. When the hub passes through the photoelectric sensor 107, the photoelectric sensor 107 detects the defective hub. Then, it controls the micro motor 106 to rotate the sorting plate 104 to move the hub to the upper end of the feed ramp 122 for sorting, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of the conveyor device for the hub.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The transmission mechanism 105 includes a servo motor 1051 installed at the lower end of the conveyor roller 101. The output end of the servo motor 1051 is connected to a first transmission disk 1052. A second transmission disk 1053 is fixedly installed on the surface of one of the synchronous pulleys 102. A transmission belt 1054 is connected between the first transmission disk 1052 and the second transmission disk 1053.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 A limiting groove 111 is provided on the surface of the sorting plate 104, and a limiting shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the micro motor 106. The limiting shaft 112 is inserted into the inside of the limiting groove 111.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the limiting shaft 112 is inserted into the limiting groove 111. When the micro motor 106 rotates the limiting shaft 112, it can rotate the sorting plate 104 to facilitate the sorting of wheel hubs.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 Each of the several conveying rollers 101 has a mounting frame 121 installed at both ends. Each of the mounting frames 121 has several discharge ramps 122 installed at equal intervals on one side. Several micro motors 106 are embedded inside one of the mounting frames 121.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the mounting bracket 121 can improve the installation stability of the conveyor roller 101, and the discharge slope 122 can guide the hub, improving the convenience and smoothness of hub conveying.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A fixing bracket 211 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the two side plates 201. A mounting plate 212 is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing bracket 211. The lead screw 205 and the guide rod 206 are rotatably connected inside the mounting plate 212.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the fixing bracket 211, together with the mounting plate 212, can improve the installation stability of the side plate 201 and the lead screw 205, and improve the safety of wheel hub unloading.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both sides of the two feed plates 203 are provided with screw holes 221 and guide holes 222 respectively. The lead screw 205 is threaded into the inside of the screw hole 221, and the guide rod 206 is inserted into the inside of the guide hole 222.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the lead screw 205 is threaded into the screw hole 221. When the lead screw 205 rotates, it can work with the guide rod 206 to control the two feed plates 203 to move closer or further apart.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The photoelectric sensor 107 and several micro motors 106 are electrically connected.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the photoelectric sensor 107 and the micro motor 106 are electrically connected to facilitate automatic control of the rotation of the sorting plate 104 to sort the wheel hubs.

[0039] Working principle: In use, the wheel hubs are first stacked on the top of the two feed plates 203. Then, the stepper motor 207 is started to rotate the lead screw 205 counterclockwise. With the help of the guide rod 206, the two feed plates 203 are controlled to move away from each other along the lead screw 205, so that the wheel hubs can pass through the two feed plates 203 and fall on the top of the feed roller 202. The feed roller 202 can transport the wheel hubs to the top of the conveyor roller 101. Then, the transmission mechanism 105 is started to rotate one of the synchronous pulleys 102. With the help of the synchronous belt 103, several conveyor rollers 101 can transport the wheel hubs. When the wheel hubs pass through the photoelectric sensor 107, the photoelectric sensor 107 detects the defective wheel hubs. Finally, the micro motor 106 is controlled to rotate the sorting plate 104 to move the wheel hubs to the top of the feed ramp 122 for sorting. Therefore, the sorting efficiency of the conveyor device for wheel hubs can be improved.
