Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tappet turning and conveying technology, and in particular to a directional device for tappet processing. Background Technology
[0002] A tappet is a cylindrical part with one end face being closed and the other being open. After rough machining, the tappet requires multiple surface treatments, including carburizing, nitriding, coating, polishing, and cleaning.
[0003] During various processes and transfers between processes, tappets typically need to be in different states. For example, during nitriding, tappets are flipped to ensure more uniform heating or chemical penetration; during physical vapor deposition, the workpiece needs to be flipped to ensure uniform coating coverage of all target surfaces; during polishing, the abrasive belt or polishing wheel needs to contact different areas to avoid omissions; during cleaning, it is essential to ensure that the cleaning fluid fully contacts internal cavities and hidden areas to remove residual debris or oil. Current technology involves manually flipping the upper or lower end face of the tappet to the top, or flipping the tappet to a horizontal axis, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive for large-scale production. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a steering device for tappet processing, which can directly transport horizontally placed tappets, or automatically rotate them 90° or 180° radially before transporting them, making it convenient for use in various production processes.
[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technology is proposed to be adopted:
[0006] An aligner for tappet machining, comprising:
[0007] Table body;
[0008] The guide unit, located at the top of the table, includes a first top plate located above the table, with a convex arc surface at the intersection of its upper surface and one side surface. The guide unit also includes a second limiting plate fixed to the upper surface of the table and a second top plate located above the table. A concave arc surface is located at the intersection of the lower surface and one side surface of the second top plate, with its axis coinciding with the axis of the convex arc surface. The concave arc surface and the convex arc surface are used for the sliding of the support column. A second opening is provided on the side of the second limiting plate.
[0009] The upward adjustment unit is located at the upper end of the guide unit and includes a first conveyor belt and a first linear mechanism located on the upper surface of the first top plate. Its output end is provided with a push plate for pushing the pusher on the first conveyor belt into the space between the arc concave surface and the arc convex surface.
[0010] The downward adjustment unit, which passes through the guide unit, includes a second linear mechanism with a conveyor plate at its output end for pushing the rolling pusher towards one end of the table. The downward adjustment unit also includes a third linear mechanism located between the table and the first top plate, with an inverted triangular plate at its output end. The inverted triangular plate has a right-angled triangle cross-section. The downward adjustment unit also includes a second conveyor belt on the table. After the pusher is pushed to a horizontal position by the inverted triangular plate, it falls into the second conveyor belt through the second opening and is conveyed.
[0011] Furthermore, a first machine slot is provided on the upper surface of the table, and a second conveyor belt is located in the first machine slot.
[0012] Furthermore, a second machine slot is provided on the upper surface of the first top plate, and the first conveyor belt is located in the second machine slot.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide unit is also fixed to several support rods on the upper surface of the table, and the first top plate is located on the upper end of the support rods.
[0014] Furthermore, a first limiting plate extends downward from one side of the lower end face of the first top plate. The lower end of the first limiting plate is fixed to the upper end face of the table body. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are used for the rolling passage of the support column. A first opening is provided on the side of the first limiting plate. A second linear mechanism is provided between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate. An inverted triangular plate is provided on one side of the first opening.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide unit also includes an outer plate fixed to the upper surface of the table body, and a second top plate is located at the upper end of the second limiting plate and the outer plate.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows:
[0017] This tilter can automatically rotate a horizontally placed tappet with its open side facing up or down by 90° or 180°, making it convenient for use in various processes of tappet manufacturing. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 2 A sectional perspective view of an embodiment of this application is shown. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The illustrated guide is a type of directional device for tappet machining, comprising a table 1, a guide unit 2, an upper directional unit 3, and a lower directional unit 4.
[0022] The table body 1 has multiple bases 11 at its lower end, and a first slot 12 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the table body 1.
[0023] The guide unit 2 is located on the upper end of the table body 1 and includes several support rods 21 fixed to the other side of the upper surface of the table body 1. A first top plate 22 is provided on the upper end of each support rod 21. A second groove 23 is formed on the upper surface of the first top plate 22. An arcuate convex surface is formed at the intersection of the upper surface and one side of the first top plate 22. A first limiting plate 24 extends downward from one side of the lower surface of the first top plate 22. The lower end of the first limiting plate 24 is fixed to the upper surface of the table body 1. The guide unit 2 also includes a second limiting plate 25 and an outer plate 26, both fixed to the upper surface of the table body 1. The first limiting plate 24 and the second limiting plate 25... The space between the two limiting plates 25 is used for the rolling passage of the mast 5. A second top plate 27 is provided at the upper end of the second limiting plate 25 and the outer plate 26. A concave arc surface is provided at the intersection of the lower end surface of the second top plate 27 and the side opposite to the first top plate 22. Its axis coincides with the axis of the convex arc surface. The space between the concave arc surface and the convex arc surface is used for the mast 5 to slide down. A first opening 28 with a width slightly larger than the diameter of the mast 5 is provided on the side of the first limiting plate 24. A second opening 29 located on one side of the first opening 28 and with a width larger than the first opening 28 is provided on the side of the second limiting plate 25.
[0024] The upward adjustment unit 3 is located at the upper end of the guide unit 2, including a first conveyor belt machine 31 located in the second machine slot 23, and a first linear mechanism 32 located on the upper surface of the first top plate 22. Its output end is provided with a push plate 33, which is used to push the pusher 5 on the first conveyor belt machine 31 into the space between the arc concave surface and the arc convex surface.
[0025] The downward adjustment unit 4 passes through the guide unit 2 and includes a second linear mechanism 41 located between the first limiting plate 24 and the second limiting plate 25. Its output end is provided with a conveyor plate 42 for pushing the rolling column 5 toward one end of the table body 1. The downward adjustment unit 4 also includes a third linear mechanism 43 located between the table body 1 and the first top plate 22. Its output end is provided with an inverted triangular plate 44 located on one side of the first opening 28. The cross-section of the inverted triangular plate 44 is a right triangle, and the angle between its hypotenuse and the horizontal side is less than 30°. Setting a small angle can ensure that the column 5 can be pushed to a horizontal position relatively easily. The downward adjustment unit 4 also includes a second conveyor belt 45 located in the first machine slot 12. After the column 5 is pushed to a horizontal position by the inverted triangular plate 44, it falls into the second conveyor belt 45 through the second opening 29 and is conveyed.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first linear mechanism 32, the second linear mechanism 41, and the third linear mechanism 43 all use linear cylinders.
[0027] Work style:
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, when using this directional switch, the material is fed from the upper left position and discharged from the lower right position.
[0029] First, multiple pushers 5 are placed sequentially and at intervals on the first conveyor belt 31. When the pushers 5 are conveyed to one side of the push plate 33, the pushers 5 can be pushed by the first linear mechanism 32 to fall between the first limit plate 24 and the second limit plate 25. The second linear mechanism 41 can make the conveyor plate 42 convey the pushers 5 in a rolling state. Both single and multiple pushers 5 can be moved. If it is to output a pusher 5 with the opposite orientation to the pusher 5 on the first linear mechanism 32, that is, to make it rotate 180°, when the pusher 5 between the first limit plate 24 and the second limit plate 25 is located on one side of the inverted triangle plate 44, the third linear mechanism 43 controls the inverted triangle plate 44 to abut against the upper part of the end face of the pusher 5, so that it falls onto the second conveyor belt 45, and then further pushes it stably onto the second conveyor belt 45 for conveying.
[0030] The above are only some of the embodiments listed in this application and are not intended to limit this application.
