Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to equipment for automatic feeding of sealing plugs. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive parts manufacturing, sealing plugs are key components, and their assembly quality directly affects the sealing performance and safety of automotive parts.

[0003] Currently, the feeding of sealing caps in the production process is mainly done manually. This method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, manual feeding has low production efficiency, slow and inconsistent feeding speed, and is difficult to adapt to the rhythm of large-scale automated production lines. On the other hand, the positioning is inaccurate when manually placed, and there is a probability of misplacement, which affects the subsequent assembly quality. At the same time, the labor cost is high, which increases the production cost of enterprises. Therefore, we have proposed an automatic feeding device for sealing caps to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where manual feeding of sealing caps results in low production efficiency, inaccurate positioning, and high labor costs, and to propose an automatic feeding device for sealing caps.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic sealing cap feeding device includes an electronic press, a mounting frame, a hopper frame, a material distribution mechanism, and a feeding assembly; the feeding assembly includes a vibrating hopper and a feeding pipe, the vibrating hopper being fixed to the hopper frame and used to screen sealing caps and transport them through the feeding pipe;

[0007] The material distribution mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame and includes an ejection assembly and a telescopic assembly. The ejection assembly includes a first cylinder and a first slider, and the telescopic assembly includes a second cylinder and a second slider. The second slider has a groove.

[0008] The electronic press is fixed to the mounting frame, and the vacuum suction head of the electronic press slides through the mounting frame; wherein, the feeding pipe transports the sealing cover to the groove, the material distribution mechanism moves the second slider to the material picking position of the electronic press, and the vacuum suction head of the electronic press picks up the sealing cover to achieve automated continuous feeding.

[0009] In one possible design, the first cylinder is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting bracket away from the electronic press by means of an I-beam, and the output end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider for driving the first slider and the telescopic assembly to slide up and down.

[0010] In one possible design, the second cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the first slider, and the second slider is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder.

[0011] In one possible design, a negative pressure connector is fixedly installed on the side of the second slider away from the second cylinder. The negative pressure connector is connected to the inside of the groove and is used to fix the sealing cover by negative pressure adsorption.

[0012] In one possible design, the material dispensing mechanism further includes a positioning component, which includes two photoelectric sensors. The two photoelectric sensors are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the second slider, and the emitting ends of the two photoelectric sensors extend into the interior of the groove for detecting the sealing cap in place.

[0013] In one possible design, the feeding assembly further includes a hopper controller, which is fixedly installed inside the hopper frame and is used to control the feeding speed of the vibrating hopper.

[0014] In this application, firstly, the sealing cap is automatically screened and arranged in a certain posture by the vibrating hopper. The arranged sealing cap is then conveyed to the groove opened by the second slider through the feeding pipe. After the photoelectric sensor detects that the sealing cap is in place, the negative pressure connector on the second slider is opened. Since the negative pressure connector is connected to the inside of the groove through multiple through holes opened on the second slider, and the multiple through holes coincide with the sealing cap when the sealing cap is in place, the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure connector causes the sealing cap to be adsorbed and fixed in the groove.

[0015] Next, the first cylinder in the ejector assembly extends, driving the first slider and its telescopic assembly, including the second cylinder and the second slider, to move to the press material-taking position to prepare for the electronic press to take material. Then, the second cylinder of the telescopic assembly retracts, driving the second slider to move towards the electronic press. At the same time, the press head of the electronic press extends to the servo material-taking target position.

[0016] After the electronic press moves to the designated position, the press head opens to apply negative pressure, sucking up the sealing cover. The sealing cover is gripped by negative pressure adsorption. At the same time, the negative pressure connector on the second slider closes, releasing the sealing cover and facilitating the electronic press to pick up the material. Then, the telescopic component and the ejection component reset in succession. After the electronic press presses the sealing cover into place, it returns to the original position, completing one assembly operation and returning to the initial state to prepare for the next cycle. This cycle is repeated to achieve automated continuous production.

[0017] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the automatic feeding device for sealing plugs achieves continuous feeding through the coordinated action of the material distribution mechanism, the electronic press, and the vibrating hopper, avoiding the intermittent nature of manual operation, making the feeding speed faster and more continuous, and effectively solving the problems of low production efficiency, slow and discontinuous feeding speed.

[0018] In this utility model, the automatic feeding device for sealing plugs, through the setting of positioning components and negative pressure connectors and other structures, can accurately position the sealing plugs, reduce placement deviation, and ensure accurate positioning during movement and material handling. This solves the problem of inaccurate positioning and the probability of placement deviation during manual placement, and improves assembly accuracy.

[0019] In this invention, the automatic sealing plug feeding device replaces manual operation with automated feeding, reducing manpower input and lowering the company's labor costs. At the same time, the stable operation of the automated equipment reduces product loss caused by human error, further saving production costs and solving the problem of high labor costs.

[0020] In this invention, continuous feeding is achieved through the coordinated operation of a material distribution mechanism, an electronic press, and a vibrating hopper, avoiding manual interruptions and improving speed and continuity; the sealing cap is precisely positioned using positioning components and negative pressure connectors, reducing deviations and improving assembly accuracy; automation replaces manual labor, reducing manpower input and operational losses, and lowering labor costs.

A material distribution mechanism is provided on the side of the mounting frame 2 away from the electronic press 1, including an ejection component and a telescopic component, to realize the positioning and transfer of the sealing cap.

[0028] In the ejection assembly, the first cylinder 7 is fixed to the mounting frame 2 by an I-beam, and its output end is connected to the bottom of the first slider 8, driving the first slider 8 to slide up and down, thus moving the telescopic assembly to the material-taking position of the electronic press 1, ensuring that the electronic press 1 can accurately take the material. The second cylinder 9 of the telescopic assembly is fixed to the top of the first slider 8, and its output end is connected to the second slider 10. The second slider 10 has a groove on the side away from the second cylinder 9, and a negative pressure connector 12 is fixed to one side of the groove and communicates with the groove. When the sealing cover is screened by the vibrating hopper 4 and enters the groove through the feeding pipe 6, after the photoelectric sensor 11 detects that it is in place, the negative pressure connector 12 opens to adsorb and fix the sealing cover, ensuring that the sealing cover does not fall off during the transfer process.

[0029] This application can be used in the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.
