Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary components technology, and more specifically, it relates to a blanking auxiliary component for the production of small snap rings. Background Technology

[0002] Auxiliary components are typically used to assist in making the operation and process more convenient.

[0003] Snap rings, also called retaining rings or retaining rings, are a type of fastener used to prevent axial movement of parts on shafts or in holes in machines and equipment. To meet various needs, snap rings come in many varieties and functions. One type is the small snap ring, characterized by its small size and light weight. When unloading, these snap rings rely on their own gravity to fall into the receiving box. However, due to their small size and light weight, if the guide plate is not set at an appropriate angle, snap rings can easily accumulate on the guide plate, requiring scraping or tapping to assist unloading. This, however, applies significant external force to the guide plate. Since the processing area of ​​snap ring manufacturing equipment has many complex transmission components, the fixation of the guide plate is not particularly secure, and the aforementioned external force can easily cause the guide plate to detach. Therefore, a structure is designed to address the inconvenience of using guide plates in the production of some small snap rings.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a blanking auxiliary part for the production of small snap rings.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: the material feeding auxiliary component for the production of small snap rings includes a guide plate, the guide plate is provided with a guide groove of the same length, and an auxiliary plate of the same length and width is hinged to the inner bottom of the guide groove, the hinge point of the auxiliary plate is close to the top of the guide groove.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the auxiliary plate includes a connecting section fixedly connected to the guide plate and a swing section hinged to the connecting section, wherein the length of the swing section is ten times the length of the connecting section.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the distance from the swing section to the bottom surface of the guide trough decreases as it approaches the hinge point of the auxiliary plate.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: an elastic deformation member for abutting against the bottom surface of the swing section is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the guide trough.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the length of the elastic deformation member is the same as the width of the auxiliary plate and the member is hollow inside.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the guide plate near the top, and the connecting plate has a relief groove for bolt embedding.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The hinge point of the auxiliary plate is close to the top of the guide chute. With the help of the auxiliary plate, after the processed material falls into the guide chute, the material will fall onto the auxiliary plate. If the material is on the auxiliary plate and does not fall, the mutual hinge between the auxiliary plate and the guide plate allows the auxiliary plate to rotate around its hinge point away from the guide plate and apply force to the auxiliary plate. This allows the material remaining on the auxiliary plate to fall off stably, reducing the direct force applied to the guide plate and reducing the impact of the material cleaning process on the state of the guide plate. This makes the overall connection state of the structure and its functions more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0017] In the diagram: 1. Guide plate; 2. Guide trough; 3. Connecting section; 4. Swinging section; 5. Elastic deformation component; 6. Connecting plate; 7. Relief groove. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] This small snap ring is used for blanking auxiliary parts in production, such as... Figure 1As shown, the structure includes a guide plate 1 with a guide groove 2 of the same length. The guide groove 2 is used to stably limit the material, allowing it to move and fall more smoothly along the guide plate 1. The guide plate 1 also provides stable support and limits for each part, ensuring the overall structure functions stably. An auxiliary plate of the same length and width is hinged to the inner bottom of the guide groove 2. The hinge point of the auxiliary plate is near the top of the guide groove 2. After the processed material falls into the guide groove 2, it falls onto the auxiliary plate. If the material is on the auxiliary plate and does not fall, the hinge between the auxiliary plate and the guide plate 1 allows the auxiliary plate to rotate around its hinge point away from the guide plate 1 and apply force to it. This allows the material remaining on the auxiliary plate to fall off stably, reducing the direct force applied to the guide plate 1 and minimizing the impact of the material cleaning process on the state of the guide plate 1. This makes the overall connection state of the structure and its functions more stable.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the auxiliary plate includes a connecting section 3 fixedly connected to the guide plate 1 and a swing section 4 hinged to the connecting section 3. The auxiliary plate is made of plastic, and the connecting section between the connecting section 3 and the swing section 4 is folded. The connecting section 3 and the guide plate 1 are fixed by adhesive. The length of the swing section 4 is ten times the length of the connecting section 3. The distance from the swing section 4 to the bottom surface of the guide trough 2 decreases as it approaches the hinge point of the auxiliary plate. The swing section 4 at the end away from the connecting section 3 is located inside the guide trough 2, so that the trough wall of the guide trough 2 can still stably limit and guide the material sliding process on the swing section 4. An elastic deformation member 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the guide trough 2 by adhesive to abut against the bottom surface of the swing section 4. Under the support of the elastic deformation member 5, the bottom of the swing section 4 can be better suspended, and thus a force can be applied to the swing plate by elasticity. This allows the material on the swing section 4 to slide down more smoothly due to the swaying motion. The elasticity of the elastic deformation element 5 allows it to buffer the force applied to the guide plate 1 when the operator applies force to the swing section 4, making the position and function of the guide plate 1 more stable. The elastic deformation element 5 is made of rubber, which has good elastic deformation properties to ensure that it has good and stable elastic deformation performance. The length of the elastic deformation element 5 is the same as the width of the auxiliary plate and it is hollow inside. The elastic deformation element 5 is tubular in shape. The hollow structure of the elastic deformation element 5 weakens its overall resistance to deformation, allowing it to better deform under external force, thus improving its overall elastic deformation performance and buffering effect.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 1 near the top by welding. The connecting plate 6 has a relief groove 7 for bolts to be inserted. The connecting plate 6 provides a supportive and limiting physical part for the connection between the guide plate 1 and the equipment body. With the combined action of the bolt and the threaded hole on the equipment body, the bolt can stably tighten and limit the connecting plate 6. With the relief groove 7, after the bolt is inserted into the relief groove 7, the bolt nut can press more of the connecting plate 6, thereby making the position and state of the connecting plate 6 and the guide plate 1 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 6 more stable, thus ensuring that the overall structure and function of the guide plate 1 are more stable.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
