Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for conveying bearing rings in bearing production. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bearing ring conveying devices typically rely solely on conveyor belts for transport, lacking effective guiding auxiliary structures. This leads to problems such as bearing ring deviation and irregular posture during transport, affecting not only the positioning accuracy of subsequent processing but also potentially causing surface damage to the bearing rings due to collisions and friction.

[0003] While some existing conveying auxiliary devices are equipped with guide plates, the position and angle of the guide plates are mostly fixed structures, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to different specifications of bearing rings, resulting in poor versatility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a bearing ring conveying auxiliary device for bearing production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A bearing ring conveying auxiliary device for bearing production includes a conveyor, which includes a conveyor belt and a frame disposed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt. Two guide components are arranged at intervals on the upper end of the conveyor belt. Each guide component includes a support member installed at intervals on the frame. An adjusting rod that can slide left and right is provided on the support member. The inner end of the adjusting rod is horizontally hinged to a first sliding member. A guide plate is connected between the two first sliding members. An elastic positioning component is provided on the first sliding member. The guide plate can slide on the two first sliding members and can be positioned by the elastic positioning component.

[0007] In some embodiments, the outer side of the guide plate is provided with grooves spaced vertically, and the upper and lower ends of the first sliding member are provided with sliders, and the two sliders slide correspondingly in the grooves.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic positioning component includes a plurality of positioning grooves evenly distributed along the length of the inner wall of the slide groove, and a first elastic sheet that cooperates with the positioning grooves is provided on the slider.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adjusting rod is a screw rod that passes through the support member, and nuts are threaded onto both sides of the screw rod on the support member. A connecting seat is provided at the inner end of the screw rod, and a vertically arranged hinge shaft is provided on the connecting seat. The hinge shaft is rotatably mounted on the first sliding member.

[0010] In some embodiments, a plurality of mounting holes are spaced apart along the length of the outer side of the frame, and the support member is mounted on any one of the mounting holes by bolts and nuts.

[0011] In some embodiments, a second sliding member is slidably disposed on the guide plate, and a second elastic piece that cooperates with the positioning groove is also disposed on the second sliding member. An L-shaped frame is also disposed on the second sliding member, and an optical fiber sensor is disposed on the L-shaped frame.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the guide plate is polished.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The adjusting rod can slide left and right along the support, and the guide plate can slide back and forth along the first sliding member. Combined with the positioning function of the elastic positioning component, the distance and position between the two guide plates can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to bearing rings of different diameters and thicknesses. This eliminates the need for frequent replacement of auxiliary devices, reduces equipment costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0015] 2. The adjusting rod and the first sliding member are hinged, allowing the guide plate to rotate around the hinge point to adjust the angle, thereby forming a figure-eight structure between the two guide plates. This figure-eight structure can automatically gather the bearing rings towards the centerline or a specified direction during the conveying process, preventing the bearing rings from deviating or scattering, ensuring stable conveying posture, and providing a precise positioning basis for subsequent processing, inspection and other processes.

[0016] 3. The front and rear spaced support members provide stable support for the guide assembly, and the elastic positioning component can quickly lock the position and angle of the guide plate. The adjustment process does not require complicated tools, and the operation is simple and convenient, which is suitable for the rapid changeover needs of the production line.

[0017] 4. The device combines guiding, gathering, and adaptability to multiple specifications, meeting the diverse needs of bearing ring conveying without the need for additional auxiliary mechanisms. This reduces equipment redundancy in the production process and improves the overall coordination and production efficiency of the conveyor line. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for implementing this utility model. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of this utility model and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 The illustrated bearing ring conveying auxiliary device for bearing production includes a conveyor, which includes a conveyor belt 1 and a frame 2 disposed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 1. Two guide components are arranged at intervals on the upper end of the conveyor belt 1. Each guide component includes a support member 3 installed at intervals on the frame 2. An adjusting rod 6 that can slide left and right is provided on the support member 3. The inner end of the adjusting rod 6 is horizontally hinged to a first sliding member 4. A guide plate 5 is connected between the two first sliding members 4. An elastic positioning component is provided on the first sliding member 4. The guide plate 5 can slide on the two first sliding members 4 and can be positioned by the elastic positioning component.

[0025] According to the above structure, the adjusting rod 6 can slide left and right along the support member 3, and the guide plate 5 can slide back and forth along the first sliding member 4. Combined with the positioning function of the elastic positioning component, the distance and front and back positions between the two guide plates 5 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to bearing rings of different diameters and thicknesses. There is no need to frequently replace auxiliary devices, which reduces equipment costs and improves production efficiency.

[0026] The adjusting rod 6 and the first sliding member 4 are hinged, allowing the guide plate 5 to rotate around the hinge point to adjust the angle, thereby forming a figure-eight structure between the two guide plates 5. This figure-eight structure can automatically gather the bearing rings towards the center line or a specified direction during the conveying process, preventing the bearing rings from running off course or becoming scattered, ensuring stable conveying posture, and providing a precise positioning basis for subsequent processing, inspection and other processes.

[0027] The front and rear spaced support members 3 provide stable support for the guide assembly. The elastic positioning component can quickly lock the position and angle of the guide plate. The adjustment process does not require complicated tools, and the operation is simple and convenient, which is suitable for the rapid changeover needs of the production line.

[0028] The device combines guiding, gathering, and adaptability to multiple specifications, meeting the diverse needs of bearing ring conveying without the need for additional auxiliary mechanisms. This reduces equipment redundancy in the production process and improves the overall coordination and production efficiency of the conveyor line.

[0029] See Figures 2-4 As shown, the outer side of the guide plate 5 is provided with grooves 21 spaced vertically, and the upper and lower ends of the first sliding member 4 are provided with sliders 22, and the two sliders 22 slide in the grooves 21 respectively.

[0030] Specifically, two parallel grooves 21 are machined at intervals on the outer surface of the guide plate 5. The grooves 21 extend along the length of the guide plate 5 and the cross-section is preferably a "U" shape. The upper and lower ends of the first sliding member 4 are provided with sliders 22 corresponding to the shape of the grooves 21. The sliders 22 are embedded in the grooves 21 and can slide along the groove. The sliders 22 and the grooves 21 are fitted with a clearance to ensure smooth sliding without obvious shaking.

[0031] See Figure 4 As shown, the elastic positioning component includes a plurality of positioning grooves 31 evenly distributed along the length of the inner wall of the slide groove 21, and a first elastic piece 32 that cooperates with the positioning grooves 31 is provided on the slider 22.

[0032] When the slider 22 slides, the first elastic piece 32 is squeezed and contracted by the inner wall of the groove 21; when it slides to the positioning groove 31, the elastic piece springs into the groove and achieves positioning through friction and elasticity; thus, elastic positioning does not require additional locking components, and only the guide plate 5 needs to be pushed to achieve unlocking and positioning during adjustment, making operation convenient.

[0033] In this utility model, the adjusting rod 6 is a screw rod, which passes through the support member 3, and nuts 41 are threadedly connected to both sides of the screw rod on the support member 3. A connecting seat 42 is provided at the inner end of the screw rod, and a vertically arranged hinge shaft 43 is provided on the connecting seat 42. The hinge shaft 43 is rotatably mounted on the first sliding member 4.

[0034] Specifically, the adjusting rod 6 adopts a screw structure, and a through hole is opened on the support member 3. The screw passes through the through hole, and a nut 41 is screwed on each of the left and right sides of the screw. By tightening the nuts 41 on both sides, the screw can be fixed on the support member 3. A connecting seat 42 is welded to the inner end of the screw, and a hinge shaft 43 is vertically fixed on the connecting seat 42. A shaft hole is opened on the first sliding member 4, and the hinge shaft 43 is inserted into the shaft hole to achieve rotation, so that the first sliding member 4 can rotate horizontally around the hinge shaft 43.

[0035] See Figure 1As shown, there are several mounting holes 51 spaced along the length of the outer side of the frame 2, and the support member 3 is installed on any one of the mounting holes 51 by bolts and nuts 52.

[0036] A number of mounting holes 51 are evenly opened on the outer side wall of the frame 2 along its length (conveying direction of the conveyor belt), with a hole spacing of 5-10cm; a waist-shaped hole is opened at the bottom of the support member 3, and the support member 3 is fixed on the frame 2 by bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole and any mounting hole 51, and with nuts 52, and the front and rear positions of the support member 3 can be adjusted according to the situation.

[0037] The inner surface of the guide plate 5 (the side in contact with the bearing ring) is treated with a polishing process, with a surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm. Surface burrs and scratches are removed through processes such as grinding with a grinding wheel and mirror polishing to form a smooth surface.

[0038] The smooth surface reduces the frictional resistance between the bearing ring and the guide plate 5, and avoids scratches or damage to the bearing ring surface due to friction.

[0039] In this utility model, a second sliding member 61 is slidably disposed on the guide plate 5. The second sliding member 61 is also provided with a second elastic piece that cooperates with the positioning groove 31. An L-shaped frame 63 is also provided on the second sliding member 61, and an optical fiber sensor 64 is provided on the L-shaped frame 63.

[0040] Specifically, a second sliding member 61 is slidably installed in the groove 21 on the guide plate 5. Its structure is the same as that of the slider 22 of the first sliding member 4. A second elastic piece (with the same structure as the first elastic piece 32) that cooperates with the positioning groove 31 is installed on the second sliding member 61. An L-shaped frame 63 is welded or bolted to the outside of the second sliding member 61. The horizontal section of the L-shaped frame 63 points above the conveyor belt 1. An optical fiber sensor 64 is installed at the end. The sensor probe faces the conveying path and is used to detect the number or position of the bearing rings passing through.

[0041] Based on the accompanying drawings and the foregoing display and description of the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model, those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
