Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ECU finished product technology, and more specifically, to an automated sorting and feeding device for ECU finished product operations. Background Technology

[0002] An ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a computer in a modern car used to control various electrical systems and subsystems. They play a crucial role in powertrain management, body control, safety systems, and infotainment systems. With the development of automotive technology, especially the advancements in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the design and function of ECUs have become increasingly complex.

[0003] The automated sorting and feeding system for finished ECUs is a specialized piece of equipment used in the automotive industry or other assembly lines requiring high precision and speed. Its primary purpose is to improve production efficiency, reduce human error, and ensure that each ECU is accurately delivered to the correct workstation for the next step of the process.

[0004] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that currently, most existing ECU production lines use a single conveyor line to classify and feed ECUs. During the conveying process, photoelectric sensors are used to identify and classify different ECUs. However, manual sorting of the ECUs is still required afterward. This operation method involves a high level of manual labor. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide an automated classification and feeding device for finished ECU products, aiming to achieve a more practical purpose.

An mounting strip is bolted to the inner side of the main conveyor frame, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the main conveyor frame. A photoelectric sensor is installed on one side of the mounting plate. Guide wheels are installed above the mounting strip. Auxiliary wheel sets are installed on the inner sides of the secondary conveyor frames one, two, three, and four, and product supports are installed above the auxiliary wheel sets.

[0010] The feeding mechanism includes a mounting base bolted to the side of the main conveyor frame, a cylinder mounted above the mounting base, and a feeding plate mounted on the output end of the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the secondary conveyor frame one, secondary conveyor frame two, secondary conveyor frame three and secondary conveyor frame four are equidistantly distributed on one side of the main conveyor frame, and the secondary conveyor frame one, secondary conveyor frame two, secondary conveyor frame three and secondary conveyor frame four have the same structural composition.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting strip is provided in four sets, with three sets of mounting strips forming a set, and each set of mounting strips is equipped with four guide wheels that are evenly distributed.

[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary wheel set is composed of two sets of symmetrical auxiliary wheels, and the size of the auxiliary wheels is set to match the size of the product tray.

[0014] Furthermore, the photoelectric sensor is located at the entrance of each group of conveyor frames, and the photoelectric sensor is connected to an external controller.

From left to right, secondary conveyor frames 2, 3, 4, and 5 are installed on one side of the main conveyor frame 1, respectively, for conveying different ECUs. A feeding mechanism is installed on the other side of the main conveyor frame 1 to push the ECUs into the secondary conveyor frames. A mounting strip 9 is bolted to the inner side of the main conveyor frame 1, and a mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the main conveyor frame 1. A photoelectric sensor 14 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 13 for identifying and sorting different ECUs. Guide wheels 10 are installed above the mounting strip 9. Auxiliary wheel sets 11 are installed inside the secondary conveyor frames 2, 3, 4, and 5, and a product tray 12 is installed above the auxiliary wheel sets 11 for placing the ECUs.

[0028] The feeding mechanism includes a mounting base 6 bolted to the side of the main conveyor frame 1. A cylinder 7 is mounted above the mounting base 6. A feeding plate 8 is mounted on the output end of the cylinder 7.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Secondary conveyor frames 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are equidistantly distributed on one side of the main conveyor frame 1, and the structures of secondary conveyor frames 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are identical. Secondary conveyor frames 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are used to transport different ECUs respectively.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are four sets of mounting strips 9, with three sets of mounting strips 9 forming a set. Each set of mounting strips 9 is equipped with four guide wheels 10 that are evenly distributed.

[0034] In use: The ECU enters the left side of the main conveyor 1 from the production line. Then, the photoelectric sensor 14 at the front end of each set of secondary conveyors identifies and classifies the ECU. At this time, the guide wheel 10 guides the ECU. Finally, the cylinder 7 drives the feeding plate 8 to push the identified ECU to the secondary conveyor corresponding to the ECU. The product tray 12 is set to place the ECU product. This device can automatically classify and feed the ECU, eliminating the need for manual sorting of different types of ECU, and reducing the intensity of manual labor.
