Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-8As shown, a material unloading and inspection mechanism for an intelligent rotary forging needle making machine includes a discharge port 102 located on one side of the rotary forging needle making machine body 101. The rotary forging needle making machine body 101 is a common rotary forging equipment in the art and is existing technology. The rotary forging needle making machine body 101 is usually equipped with a conveyor belt for transporting rotary forged workpieces, which is convenient to adapt to the conveyor belt 201 in this mechanism, so that the mechanism can be combined with the internal structure of the rotary forging needle making machine body 101. A support plate 103 is fixedly installed at the discharge port 102. The support plate 103 is set in an inverted U-shape. The support plate 103, mounting plate 104 and support frame 105 all play a supporting role to ensure the mechanism's... For overall practicality, a mounting plate 104 is provided below the support plate 103, and a receiving component is provided on the mounting plate 104. The receiving component is used to collect the needles after testing. A feeding component 200 for assisting in unloading is provided inside the support plate 103. A detection device 300 for detecting the needle production parameters is provided above the receiving component. The detection device 300 is connected to the rotary forging needle machine body 101 through the support frame 105. Before the unloading and receiving mechanism of the intelligent rotary forging needle machine is used, it is checked whether the mechanism can be used normally. Then the feeding component 200 and the detection device 300 are started to put the mechanism into the standby state.
[0027] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the receiving assembly includes a chassis fixedly connected to the mounting plate 104. The inner diameter of the chassis is larger than the outer diameter of the collecting tray 107. An electric push rod 106 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the chassis to adjust the position of the collecting tray 107, reduce the falling distance of the needle, and avoid damage to the needle due to excessive distance. The output end of the electric push rod 106 passes through the chassis and is fixedly connected to the collecting tray 107. A guide rod can also be installed at the lower end of the collecting tray 107 to increase structural stability. The collecting tray 107 is located below the support plate 103, so that the needles after testing can fall smoothly into the collecting tray 107 for centralized processing.
[0028] Among them, such as Figures 2-8As shown, the feeding assembly 200 includes a conveyor belt 201. A receiving plate 202 is provided at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 201. The receiving plate 202 is inclined. The forged needles are moved by the conveyor belt 201 to the surface of the receiving plate 202, and then enter the groove 204 on the transfer conveyor belt 203 through the opening 207. The receiving plate 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 103. A transfer conveyor belt 203 is provided below the receiving plate 202. Grooves 204 for placing needles are evenly spaced on the surface of the transfer conveyor belt 203. The size of the grooves 204 is slightly larger than the size of a needle. The shaft of the transfer conveyor belt 203 is rotatably connected to the support plate 103. Above the transfer conveyor belt 203... A limiting plate 205 extending along the rotation direction of the transfer conveyor belt 203 is provided. With the cooperation of the limiting plate 205, only one needle can be placed in a groove 204 at a time. The curvature of the limiting plate 205 matches the curvature of the transfer conveyor belt 203. A baffle 206 is fixedly provided on the side of the limiting plate 205 near the discharge port 102 to prevent a large number of needles from accumulating at the opening 207, which could cause some needles to move to the upper surface of the limiting plate 205 and malfunction. The limiting plate 205 and the baffle 206 are an integral structure. An opening 207 is formed between the baffle 206 and the receiving plate 202, and the size of the opening 207 is limited so that only one needle can pass through at a time.
[0029] Among them, such as Figures 2-8As shown, the detection device 300 includes a display 301 and a feeding roller 302. One end of the feeding roller 302 extends into the support frame 105 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 303. The feeding roller 302 is positioned below the feeding end of the transfer conveyor belt 203, limiting the rotational speed of the transfer conveyor belt 203 and the motor 303 so that only one needle falls between the two arc-shaped plates 304. A plurality of arc-shaped plates 304 are evenly distributed on the surface of the feeding roller 302. A plurality of pressure sensors 305 for detecting the smoothness of the needle surface are mounted on the surface of the arc-shaped plates 304. Under the action of gravity, the needle rotates on the surface of the arc-shaped plates 304 until it separates from the arc-shaped plates 304. During rotation, the needle comes into contact with the pressure sensors 305, and the detection device can detect the smoothness of the needle surface based on the readings displayed by the pressure sensors 305. The pressure difference is used to determine whether the needle surface is smooth and whether there are burrs. The support frame 105 is equipped with a counter and a vision inspection camera 306. The counter can determine the number of needles in the batch. The vision inspection camera 306 can work with the vision inspection module inside the display 301 to detect and judge the surface unevenness, polishing degree and length of the needle, which is convenient for subsequent analysis. The vision inspection camera 306 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The display 301 is electrically connected to the vision inspection camera 306 and the pressure sensor 305. The display 301 is equipped with a vision inspection module, a processing module, a pressure analysis module and a quality analysis module, which can then perform centralized analysis of different batches of needles, so as to determine whether the batch of needles meets the acceptance requirements and whether the rotary forging production operation meets the requirements.
[0030] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a mass weighing sensor 108 is fixedly installed inside the collection tray 107. The output end of the mass weighing sensor 108 is connected to the placement plate 109. The placement plate 109 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the collection tray 107. The mass weighing sensor 108 can be used to determine the weight of the placement plate 109 at the initial state and the total weight of the batch of needles after inspection. Based on the number of needles, the weight of the qualified needles is determined. The above values are then analyzed and compared to determine whether the quality of the batch of needles meets the production requirements.
[0031] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, both ends of the conveyor belt 201 and the transfer conveyor belt 203 are in contact with the inner wall of the support plate 103, which restricts the needle body.
[0032] Among them, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the conveyor belt 201, the material transfer conveyor belt 203, and the unloading roller 302 rotate in the same direction to ensure the overall practicality of the structure and avoid interference.
[0033] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, an alarm 307 is provided on one side of the display 301. The display 301 is electrically connected to the alarm 307. When the batch of needles is detected to be unqualified, the processing module inside the display 301 controls the alarm 307 to emit an alarm sound to remind the staff.
[0034] In use, the forged needle is moved to the surface of the receiving plate 202 via the conveyor belt 201. Because the receiving plate 202 is inclined, the needle can smoothly pass through the opening 207 and enter the groove 204 on the transfer conveyor belt 203. Only one needle can be placed in each groove 204. With each rotation of the transfer conveyor belt 203 towards the discharge roller 302, the needle falls between the angle between the two arc-shaped plates 304 due to its own weight and the cooperation of the limiting plate 205. The motor 303 then drives the discharge roller 304... 2. The arc plate 304 rotates. During the rotation, the vision inspection camera 306 performs visual inspection on parameters such as the length and unevenness of the needle surface. The pressure sensor 305 detects the smoothness of the needle surface and can determine whether there is a broken needle based on the pressure distribution. After the needle separates from the arc plate 304, it falls onto the surface of the collection tray 107. Several needles repeat the above steps. After all the needles in this batch have been inspected, the weight of the needles is analyzed to determine whether the batch of needles meets the acceptance requirements.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
