[0003] In the prior art, including the aforementioned patents, accurate shaft diameter is crucial for ensuring that the connecting shaft is accurately positioned when installed in a specific location on the vehicle, maintaining the correct relative position with surrounding components during the production process of automotive connecting shafts. However, many production problems arise during manufacturing, leading to changes in the diameter of the connecting shaft. Individual measurements and inspections are required, and fatigue and measurement errors may occur due to repetitive manual labor over long periods. Furthermore, a separately designed inspection mechanism requires removing the connecting shaft and sending it to specialized inspection equipment for measurement, increasing inspection time and procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to design a material unloading device with an inspection structure for the production of automotive connecting shafts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device with a detection structure for the production of automotive coupling shafts, so as to solve the problem of cumbersome detection steps mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device with a detection structure for the production of automotive connecting shafts, comprising a mounting frame, a conveyor belt mounted on one side of the mounting frame, a straightening frame mounted above the conveyor belt, an electric slide rail mounted on the top of the mounting frame, a clamping base slidably mounted on the top of the electric slide rail, a shaft diameter detection platform mounted on one side of the clamping base, a micrometer mounted inside the mounting frame, an inclined plate mounted on the top of the electric slide rail, a feeding hopper fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame, and a feeding assembly mounted at the bottom of the feeding hopper.

[0006] Furthermore, the conveying end of the conveyor belt is connected to the inclined plate, and the clamping base is connected to the conveyor belt through the inclined plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the shaft diameter measuring platform is a laser diameter measuring instrument, with the laser emission port installed on both sides of the clamping base, and the micrometer located above the electric slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping base slides linearly along the electric slide rail, and the position of the clamping base after sliding corresponds to the position of the feeding assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a docking plate, an ejector block, and an electric telescopic rod. The bottom shaft of the feeding hopper is connected to the docking plate, the internal shaft of the docking plate is equipped with the ejector block, and the top of the mounting frame is equipped with an electric telescopic rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the top block via a rotating shaft, and the installation position of the electric telescopic rod is located at the center line of the docking plate.

[0011] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided on one side of the top of the docking plate, and the arc-shaped groove is on the same horizontal line as the slot of the upper feeding hopper. An opening is provided at the center line of the arc-shaped groove, and the ejector block is located at the opening.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the feeding device with a detection structure for the production of automotive connecting shafts is reasonable and has the following advantages:

[0013] (1) By integrating the shaft diameter detection platform and micrometer through the blanking device, the detection can be carried out in real time during the production process. There is no need to remove the workpiece and send it to a special detection equipment for measurement, which reduces the detection time and process and improves the production efficiency. By utilizing the collimation of the laser and photoelectric detection technology, the shaft diameter is calculated by measuring the projection size of the laser beam on the shaft diameter. The non-contact measurement will not cause damage to the shaft diameter surface. At the same time, the real-time detection can provide timely feedback on the shaft diameter information, which makes it easy for operators to adjust the production parameters in time according to the measurement results, avoiding the discovery of problems only after a large number of scraps. This saves production time and costs. The blanking process can be optimized to make the blanking process more accurate and stable, improve the material utilization rate, reduce production costs, and also help improve production efficiency. The automatic detection function reduces the workload of manual measurement and reduces the labor intensity of workers. Workers do not need to use measuring tools to manually measure the shaft diameter frequently.

[0014] (2) The connecting shaft can be dropped one by one through the slot of the feeding hopper, so that the connecting shaft can be dropped individually, which is convenient for subsequent transfer and inspection. After dropping into the arc slot, the electric telescopic rod is used to drive the extension and retraction, so that the ejector block rotates and pushes the connecting shaft at the arc slot position down, and enters the clamping base above the docking plate. Dropping one by one makes it more convenient to perform quality inspection after each blank is dropped. Batch dropping may cause errors to accumulate in multiple blanks due to various factors, while dropping one by one can effectively avoid this problem. Only one blank is processed at a time, which can promptly detect and correct small deviations in the dropping process, avoid the error from being transmitted to subsequent blanks, and ensure the quality stability of each connecting shaft.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution as follows:

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] A feeding device with a detection structure for producing automotive coupling shafts includes a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 mounted on one side of the mounting frame 1, a straightening frame 3 mounted above the conveyor belt 2, an electric slide rail 4 mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1, a clamping base 5 slidably mounted on the top of the electric slide rail 4, a shaft diameter detection table 6 mounted on one side of the clamping base 5, a micrometer 7 mounted inside the mounting frame 1, an inclined plate 8 mounted on the top of the electric slide rail 4, a feeding hopper 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 1, and a feeding assembly 10 mounted at the bottom of the feeding hopper 9.

[0025] The above structure integrates a shaft diameter measuring platform 6 and a micrometer 7 through a feeding device, which can perform real-time inspection during the production process without removing the workpiece and sending it to a special inspection device for measurement, thus reducing inspection time and procedures and improving production efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, the conveying end of the conveyor belt 2 is connected to the inclined plate 8, and the clamping base 5 is connected to the conveyor belt 2 through the inclined plate 8. The shaft diameter detection table 6 is a laser diameter gauge, and the laser emission port is installed on both sides of the clamping base 5. The micrometer 7 is located above the electric slide rail 4. The clamping base 5 slides linearly along the electric slide rail 4, and the sliding position of the clamping base 5 corresponds to the position of the feeding component 10.

[0027] The above structure uses conveyor belt 2 to transport the tested connecting rod.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 10 includes a docking plate 1001, an ejector block 1002, and an electric telescopic rod 1003. The bottom shaft of the feeding hopper 9 is connected to the docking plate 1001. The ejector block 1002 is installed on the internal shaft of the docking plate 1001. The electric telescopic rod 1003 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 1003 is connected to the ejector block 1002 through the shaft. The installation position of the electric telescopic rod 1003 is located at the center line of the docking plate 1001. An arc groove is opened on one side of the top of the docking plate 1001. The arc groove is on the same horizontal line as the slot of the upper feeding hopper 9. An opening is opened at the center line of the arc groove. The ejector block 1002 is located at the opening.

[0029] The above structure allows the connecting shafts to be dropped one by one through the slots in the hopper 9, thus enabling the connecting shafts to be dropped individually and facilitating individual inspection after subsequent transfer.

[0030] Working principle: In use, firstly, the connecting rods are piled up inside the feeding hopper 9. The connecting rods at the lower slot are squeezed out by the upper extrusion method. Due to the mutual friction, the falling speed of the next connecting rod at the slot is reduced, and the flow is diverted by friction.

[0031] Secondly, the connecting shafts can be lowered one by one, allowing for individual lowering of each shaft and facilitating subsequent inspection after transfer. After falling into the arc groove, the electric telescopic rod 1003 extends and retracts, causing the ejector block 1002 to rotate and push the connecting shaft at the arc groove position down. It then enters the clamping base 5 along the mating plate 1001. This step-by-step lowering makes it easier to perform quality inspection after each blank is cut. Batch cutting may cause errors to accumulate in multiple blanks due to various factors, while step-by-step cutting can effectively avoid this problem. Only one blank is processed at a time, which can promptly detect and correct minor deviations in the cutting process, preventing errors from being transmitted to subsequent blanks and ensuring the quality stability of each connecting shaft.

[0032] Finally, the clamping base 5 is driven by the electric slide rail 4 to align with the inclined plate 8. The unloading device integrates the shaft diameter detection platform 6 and the micrometer 7, which can perform real-time detection during the production process without removing the workpiece and sending it to a special detection device for measurement. This reduces detection time and procedures, and improves production efficiency. Utilizing the collimation of laser and photoelectric detection technology, the shaft diameter is calculated by measuring the projection size of the laser beam on the shaft diameter. This non-contact measurement will not damage the shaft diameter surface. At the same time, real-time detection can provide timely feedback on shaft diameter information, allowing operators to adjust production parameters in a timely manner based on the measurement results. This avoids discovering problems only after a large number of scraps have been produced, thereby saving production time and costs.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
