Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain processing, specifically to a multi-specification chain disassembly machine including an adjustable guide rail. Background Technology
[0002] A chain is a mechanical component widely used in mechanical transmission and transportation. It typically consists of several links arranged sequentially and connected by pins to form a chain. The manufacturing process usually involves three steps: connecting the links continuously, separating the links into segments according to the required length, and finally connecting the segments together to form the chain. The segment separation process is typically performed using a link separation machine.
[0003] Chains of different specifications have chain links of varying sizes. When disassembling chains, each link must be passed through a guide rail one by one. However, because the chain link sizes differ, if the link size doesn't match the guide rail size, the chain will have difficulty passing through, and in some cases, the link will be significantly larger than the guide rail, causing the chain to jam and preventing disassembly. Current solutions typically involve replacing the guide rail with one that matches the link size, requiring a specific guide rail for each chain specification. This method is cumbersome and reduces production efficiency when used with multiple chain specifications. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-specification chain splitting machine including an adjustable guide rail, which can adapt to chains of different specifications by adjusting the width of the guide channel, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient adjustment.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a multi-specification chain disassembly machine including an adjustable guide rail, including a frame, a feeding module and a disassembly module, wherein a worktable is provided on the frame, and a disassembly station and a feeding station are provided on the worktable, and the disassembly module is set at the disassembly station;
[0006] The feed module includes a feed drive assembly and a guide rail assembly. The feed drive assembly includes a sprocket and a rotary drive unit. The sprocket is located at the feed station and is rotatably connected to the worktable. The rotary drive unit is used to drive the sprocket to rotate.
[0007] The guide rail assembly includes a spacing adjustment mechanism and two guide blocks, forming a guide channel between the two guide blocks. The guide channel extends along the direction from the feed station to the disassembly station. The spacing adjustment mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the two guide blocks to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the width of the guide channel.
[0008] During the chain splitting process, the chain meshes with the sprocket and, driven by the sprocket, is fed along the guide channel to the splitting station, where the splitting module completes the splitting operation. The width of the guide channel can be adjusted by driving the relative movement of two guide blocks through a spacing adjustment mechanism to accommodate the splitting needs of chains of different specifications. This design offers advantages such as simple structure and convenient adjustment.
[0009] Preferably, the spacing adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment drive and an adjustment slider, wherein the adjustment slider corresponds one-to-one with the guide block, and the guide block is slidably connected to the worktable through the adjustment slider; the adjustment drive is connected to the adjustment slider and is used to drive the adjustment slider to move.
[0010] Preferably, the adjustment drive includes a lead screw, which is threadedly connected to two adjustment sliders respectively, and the threads connecting the two adjustment sliders have opposite directions of rotation.
[0011] By rotating the lead screw, the two sliders and the guide block can be adjusted synchronously in opposite directions.
[0012] Preferably, the extension direction of the guide channel is tangential to the sprocket, and the inlet end of the guide channel corresponds to the sprocket, and the outlet end corresponds to the disassembly station; the inlet end of the guide channel extends at least to the corresponding tangent point of the sprocket.
[0013] The guide rail assembly can work closely with the sprocket to ensure that the chain can smoothly enter the guide channel and be accurately and smoothly fed along the guide channel to the disassembly station.
[0014] Preferably, one of the two guide blocks is an outer guide block and the other is an inner guide block. The distance between the inner guide block and the center of the sprocket is less than the distance between the outer guide block and the center of the sprocket. The inner guide block includes a first segment and a second segment. The height of the second segment is less than the height of the first segment. The second segment extends between the sprocket and the worktable.
[0015] The second segment ensures that the guide channel extends completely below the sprocket, providing reliable and sufficient guidance for the chain feed. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Example
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a chain splitting machine includes a frame 1, a feeding module and a splitting module. The frame 1 is provided with a worktable, and the worktable is provided with a splitting station and a feeding station. The feeding module is located at the feeding station, and the splitting module is located at the splitting station.
[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the feed module includes a feed drive assembly and a guide rail assembly 22. The feed drive assembly includes a sprocket 21 and a rotary drive unit. The sprocket 21 is located at the feed station and is rotatably connected to the worktable. The rotary drive unit is used to drive the sprocket 21 to rotate.
[0027] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the guide rail assembly 22 includes a spacing adjustment mechanism 23 and two guide blocks 221, forming a guide channel 222 between the two guide blocks 221. The guide channel 222 extends along the direction from the feed station to the disassembly station. The spacing adjustment mechanism 23 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to drive the two guide blocks 221 to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the width of the guide channel 222.
[0028] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the spacing adjustment mechanism 23 includes an adjustment drive component 232 and an adjustment slider 231. The adjustment slider 231 corresponds one-to-one with the guide block 221, and the guide block 221 is slidably connected to the worktable via the adjustment slider 231. The adjustment drive component 232 is connected to the adjustment slider 231 and is used to drive the adjustment slider 231 to move. The adjustment drive component 232 includes a lead screw, which is threadedly connected to each of the two adjustment sliders 231, with the threads connecting to the two adjustment sliders 231 rotating in opposite directions. By rotating the lead screw, synchronous reverse adjustment of the two sliders and the guide block 221 can be achieved.
[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the disassembly module includes a disassembly drive assembly 33, a modular disassembly assembly 31, and an installation assembly 34, as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the modular disassembly assembly 31 includes a disassembly base 315, a disassembly upper mold 312, and guide pillars 313. The disassembly base 315 has an ejection channel 316 extending vertically through it. The disassembly upper mold 312 is movably connected to the disassembly base 315 via the guide pillars 313. The disassembly upper mold 312 has a disassembly ejector pin 317, which is aligned with the ejection channel 316. The disassembly base 315 has two stops 314, forming a disassembly channel between them. The ejection channel 316 is located within the disassembly channel. The stops 314 can limit the movement of the chain entering the disassembly station.
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the disassembly drive assembly 33 is detachably connected to the disassembly upper mold 312 and is used to drive the disassembly upper mold 312 to move relative to the disassembly base 315. The disassembly base 315 is detachably connected to the worktable via the mounting assembly 34. Specifically, the disassembly drive assembly 33 includes a mounting bracket 32, on which a disassembly drive component is mounted. The disassembly drive component is mounted on the mounting bracket 32. The disassembly upper mold 312 is provided with a plug-in block 311, and the disassembly drive assembly 33 is provided with a plug-in slot. The disassembly upper mold 312 is connected to the disassembly drive assembly 33 via the plug-in block 311 and the plug-in slot.
[0031] During the disassembly process, the chain meshes with the sprocket 21 and, driven by the sprocket 21, is fed along the guide channel 222 to the disassembly station, where the disassembly module completes the disassembly operation.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the extension direction of the guide channel 222 is tangential to the sprocket 21, and the inlet end of the guide channel 222 corresponds to the sprocket 21, while the outlet end corresponds to the disassembly station. The inlet end of the guide channel 222 extends at least to the corresponding tangent point of the sprocket 21. The guide rail assembly 22 can closely cooperate with the sprocket 21 to ensure that the chain can smoothly enter the guide channel 222 and be accurately and smoothly fed along the guide channel 222 to the disassembly station.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, one of the two guide blocks 221 is an outer guide block 221, and the other is an inner guide block 221. The distance between the inner guide block 221 and the center of the sprocket 21 is less than the distance between the outer guide block 221 and the center of the sprocket 21. The inner guide block 221 includes a first segment 223 and a second segment 224. The height of the second segment 224 is less than the height of the first segment 223. The second segment 224 extends between the sprocket 21 and the worktable. The arrangement of the second segment 224 ensures that the guide channel 222 extends completely below the sprocket 21, providing reliable and sufficient guidance for the chain feed.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting platform is provided with a mounting slot and a mounting channel. The mounting channel extends from one side of the mounting slot to the side of the workbench, and the disassembly base 315 is disposed within the mounting slot. The mounting assembly 34 includes a clamping unit disposed on the workbench. The clamping unit is used to clamp the disassembly base 315 and confine the disassembly base 315 within the mounting slot. During the disassembly and assembly of the modular disassembly assembly 31, the disassembly base 315 moves in and out of the mounting slot along the mounting channel.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the disassembly module further includes a positioning component 35, which includes a positioning insert plate 351 and a positioning drive component. The positioning insert plate 351 is disposed on one side of the disassembly station, and the positioning drive component is used to drive the positioning insert plate 351 to translate relative to the disassembly station. Correspondingly, the stop block 314 is provided with a positioning channel aligned with the positioning insert plate 351. During the disassembly operation, the positioning insert plate 351 extends towards the disassembly station and inserts into the chain link located at the disassembly station, ensuring reliable positioning of the chain link and providing positioning assurance for the smooth execution of the subsequent pin ejection operation.
[0036] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
