Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of temperature controller processing equipment, specifically to an automatic conveying and unloading mechanism for temperature controller processing. Background Technology
[0002] A snap-action thermostat is a temperature control device based on the principle of bimetallic strip deformation under heat. It achieves circuit switching through a momentary mechanical action and is widely used in overheat protection and precise temperature control scenarios for household appliances and industrial equipment. When the temperature of the main component of the product increases or decreases, the heat generated is transferred to the bimetallic disc. When the set operating temperature is reached, the thermostat quickly activates, causing the contacts to open or close through the mechanism, thereby connecting or disconnecting the circuit and controlling the circuit. When used as overheat protection for motors, snap-action thermostats are connected in series with the motor. They effectively prevent the burning out of the motor's heating elements and the resulting fire accidents. The application range is very wide. In the production process of thermostats, they need to be processed in conjunction with conveyor feeding equipment.
[0003] The conveying and unloading equipment mentioned in the above-mentioned temperature controller production process generally consists of a sorting structure and a material collection section. After the qualified and unqualified products are separated, the temperature controllers that do not meet the product quality requirements are thrown into the collection box through the sorting structure, while qualified products are placed into the conveyor belt for unloading. However, during the sorting process, unqualified products are usually directly thrown into the collection box for stacking and collection. Since the reasons for the unqualified products are different, it is necessary to determine the reason for the unqualified products for each product when they are taken out for subsequent classification and processing, which consumes subsequent processing time and manpower. Therefore, we propose an automatic conveying and unloading mechanism for temperature controller processing. Utility Model Content

This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic conveying and unloading mechanism for temperature controller processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Temperature controllers can be sorted and placed by the feeding platform surrounding the feeding tray. With the four sorting cavities on the top of the feeding platform, qualified products and unqualified products of different factors can be placed in the corresponding cavities.

[0015] The four sorting cavities on the top surface of the unloading platform of this automatic conveying and unloading mechanism are positioned at the same distance as the four sets of suction heads of the sorting mechanism. This allows the unloading platform to align with the positions of the four sets of suction heads of the sorting mechanism with each rotation of the unloading platform, thereby facilitating the grabbing of all products on the unloading platform at once and improving the efficiency of conveying and unloading.

[0026] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The automatic conveying and unloading mechanism for processing temperature controllers shown includes a sorting and unloading rack 1. Sorting mechanisms 2 are fixed on both sides of the top surface of the sorting and unloading rack 1. The sorting and unloading rack 1 includes a base frame 101. A unloading tray 102 is axially connected to the top of the base frame 101. A drive shaft 103 is fixed to the center of the unloading tray 102. A drive motor 104 is fixed to the bottom of the drive shaft 103. An unloading platform 105 is fixed to the outer wall of the unloading tray 102. A sorting cavity 106 is opened on the top surface of the unloading platform 105. A temperature controller is engaged in the sorting cavity 106. A conveyor belt 107 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the base frame 101. A collection rack 108 is fixed to the other side of the outer wall of the base frame 101. A collection box 109 is provided inside the collection rack 108. Slide grooves 110 are opened on both sides of the collection box 109. A collection cavity 111 is opened on the top surface of the collection box 109.
[0028] To provide this automated conveying and unloading mechanism with sorting and collection during the conveying and unloading process, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this automatic conveying and unloading mechanism consists of a feeding tray 102 mounted on a base frame 101, symmetrical collection racks 108 on both sides, and a conveyor belt 107. The temperature controllers can be sorted and placed by the feeding platform 105 surrounding the feeding tray 102. With the four sorting cavities 106 on the top surface of the feeding platform 105, qualified products and unqualified products of different factors can be placed in the corresponding cavities. With the continuous rotation of the feeding tray 102, the sorting mechanism 2 can quickly grab the products and place them on the corresponding collection racks 108 and conveyor belt 107. The collection box 109 installed in the collection rack 108 can be used with the collection cavity 111 to classify and collect different types of unqualified products, which facilitates subsequent collection, maintenance and reprocessing.
[0029] The four sorting cavities 106 on the top surface of the unloading platform 105 are positioned at the same distance as the four sets of suction heads 204 of the sorting mechanism 2. This allows the unloading platform 105 to align with the positions of the four sets of suction heads 204 of the sorting mechanism 2 with each rotation, thereby facilitating the grabbing of all products on the unloading platform 105 at once and improving the efficiency of conveying and unloading.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the sorting mechanism 2 includes a lifting cylinder frame 201, which is fixed to both sides of the base frame 101. A transverse cylinder frame 202 is slidably fitted on one side of the lifting cylinder frame 201, and a sorting frame 203 is slidably fitted on the transverse cylinder frame 202. An adsorption head 204 is fixed inside the sorting frame 203, and a negative pressure pipe 205 is connected to the top of the adsorption head 204.
[0031] To improve grasping efficiency and facilitate sorting, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the sorting mechanism 2 of this automatic conveying and unloading mechanism is formed by the combination of the lifting cylinder frame 201 and the horizontal cylinder frame 202, which can realize the lifting and parallel sliding process. The sorting frame 203 connected to it works with the adsorption head 204 to adsorb and grab the temperature controller on the rotating and aligned unloading platform 105. The negative pressure pump connected to the negative pressure pipe 205 stabilizes the adsorption. The adsorption head 204 is equipped with a solenoid valve body, which can grab the unqualified products in one go during the adsorption and grabbing process, leaving the qualified products. Then, the unqualified products are slid into the sorting chambers 111 according to the position of the sorting chamber 106 on the unloading platform 105 where the temperature controller is placed, to complete the sorting and collection. The other sorting mechanism 2 directly grabs all the remaining qualified products and puts them into the conveyor belt 107, improving the overall sorting and unloading efficiency.
[0032] In summary, when using this automatic conveying and unloading mechanism, the user first places defective products of different reasons according to the sorting chamber 106 of the unloading platform 105. Then, the drive motor 104 drives the drive shaft 103 to rotate, and the drive shaft 103 drives the unloading tray 102 and the unloading platform 105 to rotate. During the rotation, the unloading platform 105 is aligned with the sorting mechanism 2. At this time, the horizontal cylinder frame 202 of the sorting mechanism 2 adjusts the sliding adjustment of the sorting rack 203. At this time, the sorting rack 203 is above the unloading platform 105. Then, the lifting cylinder frame 201 operates to lower the suction head 204 of the sorting rack 203 to align with the temperature controller. At this time, the negative pressure is released. The pressure tube 205 generates negative pressure through an externally connected negative pressure pump. The suction head 204 grabs the unqualified temperature controllers in the sorting chamber 106 on the unloading platform 105. After readjustment, the suction head 204 is positioned above the collection box 109. At this time, the solenoid valve releases the suction head 204 from the temperature controllers in sequence. As the transverse cylinder frame 202 slides and adjusts, unqualified products of different causes are placed into different collection chambers 111 in sequence, completing the unloading. Then the unloading platform 105 continues to rotate until it is below another sorting mechanism 2. At this time, the remaining qualified products are suctioned and grabbed onto the conveyor belt 107. This process is repeated to continuously complete the unloading process.
