[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5The counterweight mounting device in this embodiment includes a counterweight mounting device 1, on which a plastic parts hopper 3 and a counterweight hopper 4 are provided. An assembly structure is provided on the counterweight mounting device 1. The plastic parts hopper 3 and the counterweight hopper 4 are both fixedly installed on the counterweight mounting device 1. A protective frame cover 2 for protecting the plastic parts hopper 3, the counterweight hopper 4, and the assembly structure is fixedly installed on the counterweight mounting device 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the assembly structure includes a support bracket 51 fixedly installed on the counterweight mounting device 1. A circular frame 52 is fixedly installed on the top of the support bracket 51. A feeding platform 53 is rotatably installed inside the circular frame 52. A plastic tube 54 is placed on the feeding platform 53. Eight notches are opened on the outer side of the circular frame 52. Eight grooves for placing the plastic tube 54 are opened on the feeding platform 53. The positions of the notches and grooves are aligned to facilitate the conveying of the plastic tube 54. A drive component 55 for controlling the rotation of the feeding platform 53 is installed at the bottom of the circular frame 52. A mounting frame 56 is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding platform 53. A limit plate 57 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting frame 56 near the feeding platform 53. The mounting frame 56 is provided with a mounting component 58 for assembling the plastic cylinder 54 and the counterweight. The mounting component 58 includes a pneumatic push rod and a push plate. The pneumatic push rod is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 56. The telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod passes through and extends into the interior of the circular frame 52. The telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod is fixedly connected to the push plate, so that the counterweight can be pushed into the interior of the plastic cylinder 54 using the push plate. A clamping component is provided on the counterweight mounting device 1.
[0027] The drive component 55 includes a motor frame, a dual-brake motor, and a coupling. The coupling is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding table 53 and to the output shaft of the dual-brake motor. The dual-brake motor is fixedly mounted on the motor frame, and the motor frame is fixedly mounted on the support bracket 51, which facilitates the control of the rotation of the feeding table 53 by the dual-brake motor. An angle sensor is fixedly mounted on the feeding table 53 to facilitate the control of the rotation angle of the feeding table 53.
[0028] In addition, the mounting bracket 56 has multiple connection holes and a fixing screw with one end penetrating through and extending into the limit plate 57 is installed on the mounting bracket 56. The fixing screw is threadedly connected to the limit plate 57, which makes it easy to use the limit plate 57 to hold the plastic cylinder 54, thereby facilitating the assembly of the counterweight and the plastic cylinder 54.
[0029] It should be noted that both the counterweight iron bin 4 and the plastic parts bin 3 are fixedly equipped with feeding channels 31. The two feeding channels 31 are respectively connected to the two notches on the circular frame 52, so as to facilitate the conveying of the plastic cylinder 54 and the counterweight iron to the designated position.
[0030] Using the above technical solution, the dual-brake motor in the start-up drive component 55 is realized. The motor drives the feeding table 53 to rotate within the circular frame 52 through the coupling. During the rotation of the feeding table 53, the grooves are aligned with the notches on the circular frame 52 in sequence. When the feeding table 53 rotates to a specific position, the plastic cylinder 54 falls from the plastic part hopper 3 through the feeding channel 31 into the groove of the feeding table 53. The counterweight comes from the counterweight hopper 4 through the feeding channel 31 to a position close to the plastic cylinder 54. The pneumatic push rod of the installation component 58 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the push plate to push the counterweight from the position of the feeding channel 31 into the plastic cylinder 54. After the initial counterweight installation is completed, the dual-brake motor is started again, and the feeding table 53 rotates at a certain angle to transfer the plastic cylinder 54 containing part of the counterweight to the next process position.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fastening assembly includes a square column 61 fixedly installed on the counterweight mounting device 1. An abutment bracket 62 located on the top of the feeding platform 53 is installed on the square column 61. One end of the abutment bracket 62 passes through and extends into the interior of the square column 61. The abutment bracket 62 is snapped into the square column 61. A locking screw with one end passing through the square column 61 and abutting against the abutment bracket 62 is screwed on the square column 61, so that the position of the abutment bracket 62 can be adjusted according to the height of the plastic cylinder 54 so as to abut against the top of the plastic cylinder 54. A mounting platform 63 located at the bottom of the circular frame 52 is fixedly installed on the square column 61. A fastening component 64 for pushing and tightening the counterweight is provided on the mounting platform 63.
[0032] The fastening component 64 includes an electric push rod and a column. The electric push rod is fixedly installed on the mounting platform 63. The telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the column. One end of the column extends into the interior of the circular frame 52, so that the counterweight can be pushed into the depth of the plastic cylinder 54 by moving the column upward.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plastic cylinder 54 containing the counterweight rotates to the position of the fastening component, the electric push rod of the fastening component 64 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the column. The column further pushes and compacts the counterweight inside the plastic cylinder 54, ensuring that the counterweight is tightly fixed inside the plastic cylinder 54.
[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0035] When the counterweight mounting device is in use, the double-brake motor in the drive component 55 is started. The motor drives the feeding table 53 to rotate inside the circular frame 52 through the coupling. Since there are eight notches on the outside of the circular frame 52, there are eight grooves on the feeding table 53 to place the plastic cylinder 54, and the positions are aligned. During the rotation of the feeding table 53, the grooves are aligned with the notches on the circular frame 52 in turn.
[0036] The feeding channels 31 on the plastic parts hopper 3 and the counterweight iron hopper 4 are respectively connected to the two notches on the circular frame 52. When the feeding platform 53 rotates to a specific position, the plastic cylinder 54 falls from the plastic parts hopper 3 into the groove of the feeding platform 53 through the feeding channel 31. At the same time, the counterweight iron comes from the counterweight iron hopper 4 to the position near the plastic cylinder 54 through the feeding channel 31.
[0037] The pneumatic push rod of the mounting component 58 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the push plate to push the counterweight from the feeding channel 31 into the plastic cylinder 54. The limiting plate 57 on the mounting frame 56 restricts the position of the counterweight and the plastic cylinder 54 to ensure accurate installation. After one counterweight installation is completed, the double brake motor is started again, and the feeding table 53 rotates at a certain angle to transfer the plastic cylinder 54 containing part of the counterweight to the next process position. At the same time, the new groove connects with the feeding channel 31 to prepare for the next round of conveying and installing the plastic cylinder 54 and the counterweight.
[0038] When the plastic cylinder 54 containing the counterweight rotates to the position of the fastening assembly, the electric push rod of the fastening component 64 is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the column. The column further pushes and compacts the counterweight inside the plastic cylinder 54, ensuring that the counterweight is tightly fixed inside the plastic cylinder 54.
