Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment, and in particular to an automated conveying device for shaft parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automated unloading of shaft parts is a crucial step in the production process. Currently, automated production line conveying is a common technology in shaft packaging machinery. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN217497456U discloses a device for simultaneous fixed-length unloading of automotive axles. This device includes an automotive axle conveying track, a fixed bracket, and a conveyor belt. The automotive axle conveying track is located on the side of the fixed bracket, and the inner side of the fixed bracket is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt via a rotating shaft. A push rod is installed on the inner side of the conveying track, and dividing pads are equidistantly arranged on the upper end of the conveyor belt. A guide plate is welded to the upper end of the fixed bracket.

[0003] However, in practical applications, these devices have been found to have the following areas for optimization: First, the horizontal placement of workpieces in the conveyor leads to a long conveyor line, which places high demands on the site layout, especially in small chemical plants and other spaces with limited space, making it difficult to adapt flexibly; Second, the unloading method using a robotic arm requires multiple steps such as grasping, moving, and releasing, making the process relatively cumbersome. In high-frequency production scenarios, the overall unloading efficiency is easily affected by the limited response speed of the robotic arm.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an automated conveying device for shaft parts that can shorten the conveyor line length and improve the discharge efficiency, so as to better meet the actual needs of diverse production scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated conveying device for shaft parts. This invention enables vertical conveying of shaft parts, significantly reducing the length of the conveyor line, and features space saving, flexible adaptation, and improved output efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An automated conveying device for shaft parts includes a worktable with supporting legs and a conveyor belt on the supporting legs. A shaft end face detection component is located at the feed end of the conveyor belt. Guide side plates are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, forming a lower channel between the guide side plates for limiting the lower part of the shaft parts. Lateral frames are provided on the guide side plates, with a support rod at the upper end of the lateral frame. A locking block is located at the inner end of the support rod, and a guide rod for limiting the conveying of the shaft parts is located within the locking slot of the locking block. The guide rods on both sides are arranged parallel to each other, forming an upper channel between the guide rods for limiting the upper part of the shaft parts. A flipping component for flipping the shaft parts is provided at the discharge end of the conveyor belt. A discharge slide is provided on one side of the worktable, corresponding to the discharge end of the flipping component.

[0007] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the support leg includes a main column mounted on a workbench, the upper end of which is connected to the conveyor belt via bolts, and a base mounted on the workbench is connected to the lower end of the main column via bolts.

[0008] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, corner pieces are provided on both sides of the base to connect to the lower end of the main column.

[0009] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the side plate of the conveyor belt is uniformly provided with a plurality of circular holes for mounting the lateral frame.

[0010] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the lateral frame is provided with a longitudinal adjustment groove corresponding to the circular hole.

[0011] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the flipping assembly includes a rotating shaft disposed at the discharge end of the conveyor belt, a flipping bucket disposed on the rotating shaft, the flipping bucket corresponding to and cooperating with the discharge chute, and a gear disposed at one end of the rotating shaft; a cylinder is disposed on the worktable, a connecting rod assembly is disposed at the extended end of the cylinder, and a rack that meshes with the gear is disposed at the end of the connecting rod assembly; a sensor for detecting that the shaft part has reached the flipping position is disposed on the side of the discharge end of the conveyor belt.

[0012] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the discharge chute includes a support column, and the support column is provided with the chute body.

[0013] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, the bottom of the support column is provided with a bottom side plate that is fixedly connected to the ground by bolts.

[0014] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft-type parts, reinforcing rods for improving the structural strength of the components are provided between the support columns.

[0015] In the aforementioned automated conveying device for shaft parts, ribs for limiting the lower part of the shaft parts are uniformly provided on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This utility model features a conveyor belt on a workbench. A lower channel for limiting the upper part of shaft-like parts is formed between the guide side plates of the conveyor belt. Guide rods on both sides of the conveyor belt are arranged parallel to each other, forming an upper channel for limiting the upper part of the shaft-like parts. The shaft-like parts are placed vertically during transport. The upper part of the shaft-like parts is located in the upper channel for upper-level limiting, while the lower part is located in the lower channel for lower-level limiting. They are then transported in the conveying direction by the conveyor belt. Compared to traditional horizontal placement and conveying methods, this utility model achieves vertical placement and conveying of shafts, significantly shortening the conveyor line length and reducing the area occupied. It is suitable for production scenarios with limited space, such as small chemical plants, and allows for flexible adjustment of equipment layout according to actual site conditions, effectively improving space utilization. The guide side plates and guide rods on both sides of the conveyor belt constitute a shaft-like part limiting and conveying structure, precisely limiting the conveying path of the shafts and preventing them from shifting or rolling during transport. This ensures that the shafts are always transported stably along the predetermined direction, contributing to improved overall production line efficiency. A flipping component is provided at the rear of this utility model, and shaft-type parts are flipped at the flipping component and slid into the discharge chute.

[0018] 2. Furthermore, the tilting component installed at the discharge end of the conveyor belt uses a cylinder to drive the rack on the connecting rod assembly to mesh with the gear on the rotating shaft, thereby realizing the automatic tilting of the tilting bucket and accurately feeding the shaft into the discharge chute. Unlike the way a robotic arm picks up materials, the tilting component's discharge action is faster and the discharge efficiency is higher.

[0019] 3. By unscrewing the bolts fixed in the longitudinal adjustment groove, adjust the height position of the side frame. After determining the position, tighten the bolts. Based on the positions of the multiple round holes on the side of the conveyor belt, the side frame can be flexibly moved to a suitable position. Through component adjustment and structural adaptation, automated conveying of various shaft parts can be achieved, improving the flexibility of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Example: An automated conveying device for shaft-type parts, including a worktable 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the workbench 1 is equipped with support legs 2. The workbench 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength, and can adapt to complex working environments. Its surface is finely polished to prevent scratches to operators and shaft parts. The support legs 2 are equipped with parallel conveyor belts 3. The belt body of the conveyor belt 3 is made of polyurethane, which has high strength, high wear resistance and good oil resistance, which can effectively extend the service life of the conveyor belt. The surface friction is moderate to ensure that shaft parts will not slip during the transmission process. A shaft end face detection component 4 is installed at the feed end of the conveyor belt 3, which mainly includes a bracket 23 installed on the side of the conveyor belt. The shaft end face detection component can be a conventional device, or it can be equipped with... Figure 4As shown, an image display screen 24 and an operation screen 25 are mounted on the bracket 23. A lifting platform 26 is located on the workbench 1, close to the conveyor belt. A vision camera 27 for inspecting the end face of shaft components is mounted on the lifting platform 26. To ensure image quality, an aperture 28 is installed below the vision camera, making the camera's illumination end flush with the end face of the shaft component. The vision camera captures an image of the shaft component's end face, which is displayed on the screen. The user can observe whether the shaft component's end face has scratches, dents, or other processing defects. The parameters of the vision camera can be adjusted on the operation screen. The technical solution protected by this utility model pertains to the transportation of shaft parts; therefore, the specific structure of the shaft component end face inspection assembly will not be described in detail here. Guide side plates 40 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 3. The guide side plates 40 are made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant. While ensuring the guiding function, they reduce the weight of the overall device, making installation and maintenance easier. A lower channel 41 for limiting the lower part of shaft parts is formed between the guide side plates 40. A lateral frame 5 is installed on the guide side plate 40. A support rod 6 is installed at the upper end of the lateral frame 5. A locking block 7 is installed at the inner end of the support rod 6. A guide rod 8 for limiting the transmission of shaft parts is installed in the locking slot of the locking block 7. The guide rods 8 on both sides are arranged in parallel, forming an upper channel 42 for limiting the upper part of shaft parts between the guide rods 8. Ribs 43 for limiting the lower part of shaft parts are evenly distributed on the surface of the conveyor belt 3. The upper and lower channel structure can achieve the stability of shaft parts during transportation. Shaft parts can be evenly placed in the grooves formed by adjacent ribs. The structure is also designed to ensure the stability of shaft parts during transportation. Figure 3 As shown, the guide rods on both sides can limit the movement of the shaft to ensure the stability of the shaft transmission; the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3 is equipped with a flipping component 9 for rotating the shaft; a discharge slide 10 is provided on one side of the workbench 1 and at a position corresponding to the discharge end of the flipping component 9. The flipping component 9 includes a rotating shaft 16 set at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3, and a flipping bucket 17 is installed on the rotating shaft 16. The flipping bucket 17 is made of stainless steel, with a smooth surface and easy to clean. The flipping bucket 17 and the discharge slide 10 are correspondingly matched. A gear 18 is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 16; a cylinder 19 is installed on the workbench 1, and a connecting rod assembly 20 is provided at the extended end of the cylinder 19. A rack 21 that meshes with the gear 18 is installed at the end of the connecting rod assembly 20. A sensor 30 for detecting that the shaft has reached the flipping position is provided on the side of the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3. The sensor can be a conventional optical sensor, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown in the attached diagram, when the shaft falls into the tilting bucket, the sensor will detect that the shaft has reached the tilting station. Figure 5As shown, the cylinder drives the rack to move toward the feed end of the conveyor belt via the connecting rod assembly. The rack drives the gear to rotate, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. Finally, the tipping bucket rotates outward. When the shaft is transferred to the discharge end of the conveyor belt, it will fall onto the profile of the conveyor belt. Then the conveyor belt will stop running. After that, the tipping bucket rotates, flipping a shaft and sending it to the discharge chute.

[0028] The discharge chute 10 includes a support column 31 made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength and can stably support the chute body 32 for a long time. The chute body 32 is mounted on the support column 31. A bottom side plate 33 is fixedly connected to the ground by bolts at the bottom of the support column 31. A reinforcing rod 34 is installed between the support columns 31 to improve the structural strength of the components. The bottom side plate can improve the stability of the discharge chute and ensure stable discharge of the shaft components. The reinforcing rod has the same function, improving the stability of the discharge by improving the structural strength of the discharge chute.

[0029] The support leg 2 includes a main column 11 mounted on the workbench 1. The upper end of the main column 11 is connected to the conveyor belt 3 by bolts. A base 12 is mounted on the workbench 1 and connected to the lower end of the main column 11 by bolts. Corner pieces 13 connected to the lower end of the main column 11 are mounted on both sides of the base 12. The corner pieces can increase the stability of the base and improve the support strength of the support leg for the conveyor belt.

[0030] The side plate of the conveyor belt 3 has a plurality of circular holes 14 evenly distributed for mounting the side frame 5. The side frame can be installed according to the position of the circular holes. The side frame 5 has a longitudinal adjustment groove 15 corresponding to the circular holes 14. The height position of the side frame can be adjusted according to the height of the shaft, which greatly improves the flexibility of use.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Shaft-type parts are placed at the feed end of the conveyor belt 3. The shaft end face detection component 4 then functions. A lower channel 41 for limiting the upper part of the shaft-type parts is formed between the guide side plates 40 of the conveyor belt 3. Guide rods 8 on both sides of the conveyor belt 3 are arranged parallel to each other, forming an upper channel 42 for limiting the upper part of the shaft-type parts between the guide rods 8. The shaft-type parts are placed vertically during transport. The upper part of the shaft-type parts is located in the upper channel 42 for upper limitation, and the lower part of the shaft-type parts is located in the lower channel 41 for lower limitation. They are then transported in the conveying direction by the conveyor belt 3. When the shaft-type parts are transported on the conveyor belt 3, the guide rods 8 on both sides precisely limit the transport path of the shaft-type parts, preventing them from being damaged during transport. In case of deviation or rolling, the shaft is always stably transmitted along the predetermined direction. When the shaft is transmitted to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3, it will first fall onto the profile of the conveyor belt. At this time, the conveyor belt 3 stops running. Then, the cylinder 19 on the workbench 1 starts. The extended end of the cylinder 19 drives the connecting rod assembly 20 to move. The rack 21 at the end of the connecting rod assembly 20 meshes with the gear 18 at one end of the rotating shaft 16. The rack 21 moves towards the feed end of the conveyor belt 3. The gear 18 rotates, which in turn makes the rotating shaft 16 rotate. The tilting bucket 17 installed on the rotating shaft 16 rotates accordingly. During the rotation of the tilting bucket 17, the shaft is precisely tilted. After being tilted, the shaft is sent into the discharge slide 10 that is matched with the tilting bucket 17.

[0032] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Furthermore, in these embodiments, "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" represent relative positions only, not absolute positions. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
