Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automated feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of a sealing gasket. Background Technology
[0002] Gaskets are key sealing elements in industrial equipment, pipelines, and mechanical systems. Their core function is to reduce fluid leakage or the intrusion of external impurities by filling the gaps between mating surfaces. The inner ring, as an internal support component, is fixed in the center of the gasket to enhance its structural rigidity and thus extend its service life.
[0003] In the production process of sealing gaskets, the feeding of the inner ring is a key step. The traditional inner ring feeding method usually involves stacking the inner rings vertically on the material channel and then feeding them out one by one from bottom to top through the bottom pushing component.
[0004] The existing inner ring feeding mechanism has the following problems: In a set of vertically stacked inner rings, the bottom inner ring is subjected to pressure from the upper inner rings. During the process of the bottom pusher component pushing out the bottom inner ring, the inner ring surfaces rub against each other, which makes the cross-section of the inner ring easy to be scratched, thereby reducing the surface quality of the inner ring of the sealing gasket. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To reduce wear on the inner ring of the sealing gasket during the feeding process, this application provides a transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of the sealing gasket.
[0006] The transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of a sealing gasket provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A transverse feeding mechanism for inner rings of sealing gaskets includes a frame, a feeding channel, a pushing assembly, and a discharging assembly. The feeding channel, the pushing assembly, and the discharging assembly are all mounted on the frame. The feeding channel is horizontally arranged on the upper surface of the frame and is used to carry several transversely stacked inner rings of sealing gaskets. The pushing assembly is connected to one end of the feeding channel to push and transport the transversely stacked inner rings of sealing gaskets on the feeding channel. The discharging assembly is connected to the end of the feeding channel away from the pushing assembly.
[0008] By adopting the above scheme, the frame integrates the material channel, the pushing component and the discharging component to form a compact planar conveying system, which reduces the space occupied by the mechanism. The horizontally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets are arranged in an orderly manner on the material channel and are transported horizontally along the material channel direction under the push of the pushing component, which reduces the stacking friction damage caused by the vertical stacking of the inner rings of the sealing gaskets.
[0009] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a pushing disk and a first cylinder, the piston rod of the first cylinder is horizontally arranged and connected to the back of the pushing disk, and the pushing disk is slidably disposed in the material channel in the horizontal direction.
[0010] By adopting the above scheme, when the first cylinder drives the piston rod to move horizontally back and forth, it directly drives the pusher disc to slide synchronously in the material channel, thereby pushing the inner ring of the sealing gasket that is stacked horizontally on the material channel to move horizontally.
[0011] Preferably, the first cylinder is externally connected to a speed control valve and a pressure gauge, the speed control valve and the pressure gauge are connected, and the speed control valve and the pressure gauge are connected to an external air supply device.
[0012] By adopting the above scheme, the external air supply equipment is responsible for supplying air. The staff can detect the air supply pressure in real time according to the air pressure gauge, and control the extension and retraction speed of the piston rod of the first cylinder by adjusting the speed regulating valve.
[0013] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a baffle, a pusher, and a second cylinder. The baffle is perpendicular to the frame, and the pusher slides vertically on the baffle. The baffle abuts against the inner ring of the foremost sealing gasket. The second cylinder is supported on the baffle, and the piston rod of the second cylinder is vertically positioned and connected to the pusher. There is a gap between the pusher and the material channel that allows a single inner ring of the sealing gasket to pass through. A discharge slot is provided in the frame area directly below the pusher.
[0014] By adopting the above scheme, the baffle and the pusher plate clamp the horizontally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets from the front and rear, reducing the relative sliding of the inner rings of the sealing gaskets due to inertia, so that they can be transported smoothly. When the second cylinder drives the pusher plate to descend vertically, the pusher plate presses down and causes the individual inner rings of the sealing gaskets to fall out from the discharge seam and reach the next process.
[0015] Preferably, the discharge assembly further includes a second support body, the bottom of which is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the frame, and the side wall of the baffle is connected to the side wall of the second support body.
[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the baffle and the second support form a rigid guide frame, which reduces the vertical error of the pusher's movement trajectory and improves the shock resistance and stability of the discharge assembly.
[0017] Preferably, the material channel includes a retaining edge, and two sets of retaining edges are provided. The two sets of retaining edges are symmetrically arranged and spaced apart in the horizontal direction above the frame. The retaining edges are inclined downward from the side near the frame towards the middle of the frame.
[0018] By adopting the above scheme, two sets of oblique and downward-facing baffles above the frame are combined with the material channel to form a groove-shaped structure that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, which is used to support several horizontally stacked inner rings of sealing gaskets, and the oblique and baffles provide support for both sides of the inner rings of the sealing gaskets.
[0019] Preferably, the two sets of guard edges are arranged in an arc shape, and the arc of the side wall of the push disk is adapted to the arc of the side wall of the guard edge.
[0020] By adopting the above solution, the side wall of the push plate and the side wall of the stop edge form a gapless fit, reducing the occurrence of jamming caused by horizontal displacement of the push plate.
[0021] Preferably, the feed channel further includes a first support body, which is arranged in a triangular structure. The bottom of the first support body is fixed to the upper surface of the frame, and the long side of the first support body is connected to the side wall of the guard.
[0022] By adopting the above scheme, the triangular structure of the first support body stabilizes and disperses the lateral load force of the retaining edge, and the long side directly contacts the retaining edge, thereby improving the support performance and seismic resistance of the retaining edge.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The pushing assembly horizontally pushes the horizontally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets, which reduces the frictional loss of the inner rings of the sealing gaskets due to excessive gravity compared to the vertical stacking feeding in traditional inner ring feeding mechanisms.
[0025] 2. It reduces the occurrence of push plate misalignment and improves the transport stability of the inner ring of the sealing gasket.
[0026] 3. Enable continuous single transport of the inner ring of the sealing gasket. Attached Figure Description

Inner ring of sealing gasket. Detailed Implementation
[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0031] This application discloses a transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of a sealing gasket. (Refer to...) Figure 1-2 A transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of a sealing gasket includes a frame 1, a material channel 2, a pushing component 3, and a discharging component 4. The material channel 2, the pushing component 3, and the discharging component 4 are all mounted on the frame 1. The frame 1 provides rigid support while integrating the material channel 2, the pushing component 3, and the discharging component 4, forming a compact planar conveying system and reducing the space occupied by the mechanism.
[0032] Furthermore, the material channel 2 is horizontally fixed to the upper surface of the frame 1 to support several horizontally stacked inner rings of sealing gaskets 5. The material channel 2 includes a retaining edge 21 and a first support body 22. In this embodiment, two sets of retaining edges 21 are provided. The two sets of retaining edges 21 are placed at opposite inclinations and are designed with a certain arc to better fit the edge of the inner ring of the sealing gasket 5 and reduce friction damage during material transportation.
[0033] Furthermore, the two sets of sidewalls 21 and material channels 2 together form a trough-shaped structure that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. At the same time, there are four first support bodies 22, all of which are triangular in shape. The first support bodies 22 are symmetrically distributed along the center of the material channel 2 and spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The bottom of the first support body 22 is welded to the upper surface of the frame 1, and the long side of the first support body 22 is welded to the side wall of the sidewall 21.
[0034] Therefore, the retaining edge 21 provides support for both sides of the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket, and at the same time reduces the radial displacement of the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket.
[0035] In addition, the triangular structure of the first support body 22 is stable, which disperses the lateral load force of the flange 21 and reduces the deformation of the flange 21 caused by the lateral pressure generated by the inner ring 5 of the stacked sealing gasket. The first support body 22 is in direct contact with the flange 21 through its long side, which improves the support performance of the flange 21 and the stability of material transportation.
[0036] On the other hand, the pusher assembly 3 is connected to one end of the material channel 2 to transport the inner ring of the sealing gasket 5 that is stacked laterally on the material channel 2.
[0037] Correspondingly, the inner rings 5 of the sealing gaskets are arranged linearly on the material channel 2 in a horizontally coaxial stacked form. Through the axial thrust of the pushing component 3, the horizontally stacked inner rings 5 of the sealing gaskets are pushed to slide along the length direction of the material channel 2.
[0038] Specifically, the pushing assembly 3 includes a pushing disk 31 and a first cylinder 32. The first cylinder 32 is installed above the frame 1. The piston rod of the first cylinder 32 is horizontally arranged and connected to the back of the pushing disk 31. In this embodiment, the pushing disk 31 is arranged in a semi-circular structure and slides with the material channel 2. Therefore, when the first cylinder 32 drives the piston rod to move horizontally back and forth, it directly drives the pushing disk 31 to move synchronously back and forth in the material channel 2.
[0039] Correspondingly, when the piston rod extends, the pusher disk 31 moves forward, pushing the laterally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets 5 forward. When the piston rod retracts, the pusher disk 31 resets and leaves space for subsequent inner rings of the sealing gaskets 5 to be stacked.
[0040] Meanwhile, the first cylinder 32 is externally connected to a speed control valve 33 and a pressure gauge 34. The speed control valve 33 is installed on the upper surface of the bracket 1 and connected to the first cylinder 32 through an air pipe. The speed control valve 33 and the pressure gauge 34 are connected through another air pipe. The speed control valve 33 and the pressure gauge 34 are connected to an external air supply device, which is responsible for supplying air. The pressure gauge 34 displays the pipeline pressure value in real time. The speed control valve 33 can control the intake flow rate of the external airflow.
[0041] Correspondingly, the staff can detect the air supply pressure according to the real-time parameters of the pressure gauge 34. When the external air source passes through the speed regulating valve 33, the staff can adjust the valve core opening by changing the gear to control the air intake flow, thereby controlling the extension and retraction speed of the piston rod of the first cylinder 32. This can reduce the occurrence of scratches caused by the horizontally stacked sealing gasket inner ring 5 being squeezed against each other due to the push plate 31 moving too fast.
[0042] Therefore, the external air supply equipment forms a closed-loop pressure-flow regulation system through the linkage speed control valve 33 and the air pressure gauge 34, which ultimately realizes the smooth and adjustable reciprocating motion of the push plate 31, which can adapt to the conveying needs of the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket with different stacking densities.
[0043] Furthermore, both sets of retaining edges 21 are arc-shaped, and the side wall curvature of the pusher disk 31 matches the side wall curvature of the retaining edge 21. The two contact to form a gapless fit, maximizing the effective force application area of the pusher disk 31, improving the transport efficiency of the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket, and the pusher disk 31 can always slide in a straight line along the retaining edge 21, reducing the occurrence of jamming of the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket due to horizontal sway of the pusher disk 31.
[0044] On the other hand, the discharge assembly 4 is connected to the end of the material channel 2 away from the push assembly 3, and includes a baffle 43, a push plate 41, a second support body 42 and a second cylinder 44. The bottom of the baffle 43 and the bottom of the second support body 42 are both welded to the upper surface of the frame 1, and the side wall of the baffle 43 is welded to the side wall of the second support body 42.
[0045] Furthermore, the push plate 41 and the baffle 43 slide together, the second cylinder 44 is fixed on the baffle 43, the piston rod of the second cylinder 44 is arranged vertically and connected to the push plate 41, there is a gap between the push plate 41 and the material channel 2 that allows a single inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket to pass through, and a discharge slot 11 is correspondingly opened in the area of the frame 1 directly below the gap. The discharge slot 11 is arranged along the width direction of the material channel 2 and allows a single inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket to pass through.
[0046] Therefore, the baffle 43 provides a vertical sliding track for the push plate 41 and forms a rigid guide frame with the second support 42, which reduces the error of the movement trajectory of the push plate 41 in the vertical direction and the friction loss caused by the tilt of the push plate 41.
[0047] Meanwhile, the baffle 43 and the pusher plate 31 clamp the horizontally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets 5, constraining the horizontally stacked inner rings of the sealing gaskets 5 in the material channel 2, reducing the interlayer slippage of the material due to inertia, and making it transported smoothly.
[0048] Correspondingly, the thickness of the push plate 41 is matched with the thickness of the inner ring 5 of a single sealing gasket. Therefore, when the second cylinder 44 drives the piston rod to lower the push plate 41, the push plate 41 precisely contacts the inner ring 5 of a single sealing gasket, causing the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket to be pressed down. After passing through the gap between the material channel 2 and the baffle 43, the inner ring 5 of the sealing gasket falls out from the discharge slot 11 opened on the frame 1 and reaches the next process.
[0049] The implementation principle of the transverse feeding mechanism for the inner ring of a sealing gasket in this application embodiment is as follows: Compared with the traditional "vertical stacking-bottom ejection" feeding method for the inner ring of the sealing gasket 5, it is changed to a method in which the first cylinder 32 drives the pusher disk 31 to transport the transversely stacked inner ring of the sealing gasket 5 horizontally. Through the coordinated cooperation of the speed regulating valve 33 and the push plate 41, the inner ring of the sealing gasket 5 is ejected downward from the material channel 2 one by one. This makes the feeding process more stable and reduces the frictional loss between the inner rings of the sealing gasket 5 caused by the gravity of vertical stacking.
[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
