Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moving impeller manufacturing technology, specifically to a moving impeller riveting device. Background Technology
[0002] The impeller is a key component of a vacuum cleaner. Its function is to use the high-speed rotation of the motor to drive the rotating impeller, thereby creating negative pressure in the air to achieve the effect of vacuuming.
[0003] The existing impeller riveting process uses a single-punch manual method. First, the punch press is powered on, then the product is manually placed into the mold for positioning, the punch press is started, and the first stamping is performed. Then, an auxiliary tool is used to remove the product from the mold cavity, completing one stamping cycle. This method results in poor product quality stability, a high scrap rate, and low average output. During production, it is impossible to ensure consistent product quality and dimensional stability; the labor intensity is too high, and the production volume is too low, far from meeting customer production needs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new impeller riveting device to solve these defects. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a moving impeller riveting device.
[0005] According to the present invention, a moving impeller riveting device includes a worktable, a first support, a second support, a conveyor belt, a first clamping assembly, a feeding gripper, a second clamping assembly, a discharging gripper, a riveting punch, a driving mechanism, and a riveting die.
[0006] The first support, the second support, and the conveyor belt are all arranged on the workbench, and the conveyor belt passes through the space below the first support. The end of the conveyor belt extends into the second support. The loading gripper, the unloading gripper, the riveting punch, the drive mechanism, and the riveting die are all arranged on the second support. One or more storage troughs are provided on the first support along the length of the conveyor belt. The storage troughs are used to place moving impellers. Multiple moving impellers are stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The bottommost moving impeller is clamped by the second clamping assembly, and the second moving impeller from bottom to top is clamped by the first clamping assembly. The loading gripper is provided at the end of the conveyor belt.
[0007] When the second clamping assembly releases the clamping assembly, the moving impeller at the bottom of the storage tank falls onto the conveyor belt and moves to the end of the conveyor belt. The loading gripper can transport the moving impeller transported to the end of the conveyor belt to the riveting die and align it. The riveting punch is located above the riveting die. Driven by the driving mechanism, the riveting punch can descend and perform riveting operations on the moving impeller located inside the riveting die. After the riveting operation is completed, the riveting punch leaves the riveting die and the moving impeller located inside the riveting die is removed by the unloading gripper.
[0008] Preferably, the number of storage tanks is two.
[0009] Preferably, the first clamping assembly includes a first jaw, a second jaw, a third jaw, and a fourth jaw, and the second clamping assembly includes a fifth jaw, a sixth jaw, a seventh jaw, and an eighth jaw;

[0011] When riveting is required, the first, second, third, and fourth grippers clamp simultaneously, while the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grippers release simultaneously. At this time, the moving impellers at the bottom of the two storage tanks fall onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt rotates and transports the two moving impellers to the end of the conveyor belt. The loading gripper then moves the moving impeller at the end into the riveting die. The drive mechanism then drives the riveting punch downwards to perform the riveting operation on the moving impeller inside the riveting die. After the riveting operation is completed, the drive mechanism drives the riveting punch away from the riveting die. The unloading gripper then removes the moving impeller that has completed the riveting operation and is located in the riveting die and moves it to the next process.
[0012] Preferably, the device also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is connected to the first gripper, the second gripper, the third gripper, the fourth gripper, the loading gripper, the fifth gripper, the sixth gripper, the seventh gripper, the eighth gripper, the unloading gripper, the conveyor belt, and the drive mechanism.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0049] This utility model provides a moving impeller riveting device, including a workbench 101, a first support 102, a second support 103, a conveyor belt 2, a first clamping assembly, a loading gripper 7, an electrical control cabinet 8, a second clamping assembly, a unloading gripper 13, a riveting punch 14, a drive mechanism, and a riveting die 16. The first support 102, the second support 103, and the conveyor belt 2 are all arranged on the workbench 101, with the conveyor belt 2 passing through the space below the first support 102 and its end extending above the second support 103. The loading gripper 7, the unloading gripper 13, the riveting punch 14, the drive mechanism, and the riveting die 16 are all arranged on the second support 103. The electrical control cabinet 8 is arranged below the workbench 101. The first support 102 has one or more clamping components along the length of the conveyor belt 2. Multiple storage troughs are provided for placing moving impellers 1. The moving impellers 1 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The bottommost moving impeller 1 is clamped by a second clamping assembly, while the remaining moving impellers 1 are clamped by a first clamping assembly. A feeding gripper 7 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 2. The feeding gripper 7 can transport the moving impellers 1 transported to the end of the conveyor belt 2 to the riveting die 16 and align them. The riveting punch 14 is located above the riveting die 16. Driven by the driving mechanism, the riveting punch 14 can descend and perform riveting operations on the moving impellers 1 located inside the riveting die 16. After the riveting operation is completed, the riveting punch 14 leaves the riveting die 16. After the riveting operation is completed, the moving impellers 1 located inside the riveting die 16 are removed by the unloading gripper 13. The driving mechanism is preferably a servo electric cylinder 15.
[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one possible embodiment, there are two storage tanks, and an electrical control cabinet 8 is also included. The electrical control cabinet 8 is arranged below the workbench 101 and serves to support the workbench 101. The first clamping assembly includes a first clamp 3, a second clamp 4, a third clamp 5, and a fourth clamp 6. The second clamping assembly includes a fifth clamp 9, a sixth clamp 10, a seventh clamp 11, and an eighth clamp 12. The electrical control cabinet 8 is connected to the first clamp 3, the second clamp 4, the third clamp 5, the fourth clamp 6, the loading clamp 7, the fifth clamp 9, the sixth clamp 10, the seventh clamp 11, the eighth clamp 12, the unloading clamp 13, the conveyor belt 2, and the drive mechanism. The electrical control cabinet 8 can control the operation of each component connected by the signal.
[0051] Furthermore, the first bracket 102 has a support surface 1021. The first gripper 3, the second gripper 4, the third gripper 5, and the fourth gripper 6 are all arranged above the support surface 1021, and the fifth gripper 9, the sixth gripper 10, the seventh gripper 11, and the eighth gripper 12 are all arranged below the support surface 1021. The first gripper 3 and the third gripper 5 are used to clamp the second moving impeller 1 from the bottom up in the front storage tank. The fifth gripper 9 and the seventh gripper 11 are used to clamp the lowest moving impeller 1 in the front storage tank. The second gripper 4 and the fourth gripper 6 are used to clamp the second moving impeller 1 from the bottom up in the rear storage tank. The sixth gripper 10 and the eighth gripper 12 are used to clamp the lowest moving impeller 1 in the rear storage tank. When riveting is required, the first gripper 3, the second gripper 4, the third gripper 5, and the fourth gripper 6 clamp simultaneously, while the fifth gripper 9, the sixth gripper 10, the seventh gripper 11, and the eighth gripper 12 release simultaneously. At this time, the moving impellers 1 at the bottom of the two storage tanks fall onto the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 rotates and transports the two moving impellers 1 to the end. Then, the loading gripper 7 moves the last moving impeller 1 to the inside of the riveting die 16. At this time, the electrical control cabinet 8 controls the drive mechanism to drive the riveting punch 14 downward and perform riveting on the moving impeller 1 inside the riveting die 16. After the riveting is completed, the drive mechanism drives the riveting punch 14 away from the riveting die 16. At this time, the unloading gripper 13 removes the moving impeller 1 that has completed the riveting and is located inside the riveting die 16 and moves it to the next process. After the last moving impeller 1 completes the riveting operation, the conveyor belt 2 rotates and transports another moving impeller 1 located on the conveyor belt 2 back to the position of the previous moving impeller 1, completing the riveting operation through the same operating procedure as the first moving impeller 1.
[0052] It should be noted that the first gripper 3, the second gripper 4, the third gripper 5, the fourth gripper 6, the loading gripper 7, the fifth gripper 9, the sixth gripper 10, the seventh gripper 11, the eighth gripper 12, and the unloading gripper 13 are all preferably pneumatic grippers. The corresponding grippers can be clamped or released by the control signal issued by the electrical control cabinet 8, thereby controlling the moving impeller 1.
[0053] This utility model also includes a display screen 17, which is electrically connected to the electrical control cabinet 8. The display screen 17 can display the operating status of each moving part so that the user can understand the current working status.
[0054] The conveyor belt 2 in this invention is driven by a stepper motor. By using a stepper motor, the conveyor belt 2 can be accurately stopped at the required position, so that the moving impeller 1 on the conveyor belt 2 can be accurately transported to the required position.
[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the storage trough is a cylindrical metal hollow frame structure. The bottom of the storage trough is supported by the clamps for the moving impeller 1. The positions of the first clamp 3, the second clamp 4, the third clamp 5, and the fourth clamp 6 are exactly in position to clamp the second moving impeller 1 from the bottom up. When the bottom moving impeller 1 falls onto the conveyor belt, the two clamps below the first support 102 are clamped, and the two clamps above the first support 102 are released. At this time, the stack of moving impellers 1 slides down and falls due to gravity. The bottom moving impeller 1 is then supported again by the two clamps below the first support 102. Meanwhile, the second moving impeller from the bottom up is clamped again by the two clamps above the first support 102, thus realizing the continuous transport of the moving impellers 1 onto the conveyor belt 2.
[0056] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0057] This utility model adopts an electro-integrated automatic riveting device, changing the original single-stroke process to an electro-integrated automatic riveting multi-cycle stamping process. Simply turn on the power, and personnel first repeatedly place the moving impeller 1 into the storage tank. Then, the electrical control cabinet 8 controls the automatic clamping of the first clamp 3, second clamp 4, third clamp 5, and fourth clamp 6, followed by the simultaneous release of the fifth clamp 9, sixth clamp 10, seventh clamp 11, and eighth clamp 12, causing the moving impeller... Wheel 1 can smoothly slide into conveyor belt 2, and then conveyor belt 2 transports the moving impeller 1 to the loading clamp 7. The loading clamp 7 then picks up the moving impeller 1 and sends it into the riveting die 16. At the same time, the signal is transferred to the servo cylinder 15 to work. Under the drive of the servo cylinder 15, the riveting punch 14 is pressed down, so that the moving impeller 1 is riveted. Finally, the unloading clamp 13 picks up the moving impeller 1 from the riveting die 16 and automatically slides it into the turnover box. This completes the riveting action of one product.
