Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product conveying equipment technology, specifically a vibrating track turning mechanism for products with different sizes of heads. Background Technology

[0002] Products with different sizes at both ends refer to cylindrical or tubular workpieces with significant differences in dimensions at both ends. These products are frequently encountered during the manufacturing process and require adjustment of the different sizes during transport to ensure uniformity for subsequent processing. This necessitates the use of a turning mechanism.

[0003] In the existing production and conveying process of products with different sizes, the turning methods mostly adopt manual sorting or mechanical clamping adjustment. Manual adjustment is inefficient and labor-intensive; mechanical clamping is prone to damage to the product surface, and is also difficult to debug and maintain. To address this, we designed a vibrating track turning mechanism for products with different sizes that has a simple structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that manual adjustment is inefficient and labor-intensive, while mechanical clamping and turning can easily damage the product surface and make maintenance and debugging difficult.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The vibrating track turning mechanism for large and small head products proposed by the present invention includes a base, and a vibrating straightener one and a vibrating straightener two disposed on the base. A track one is installed on the vibrating straightener one, and a track two is installed on the vibrating straightener two. The discharge end of the track one is located above the feed end of the track two. A swing frame is also vertically disposed on the base between the vibrating straightener one and the vibrating straightener two. An adjustment component is disposed at the top of the swing frame and at the discharge port of the track one.

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes a long screw that is rotatably mounted on the top side wall of the swing frame at one end, and a connecting rod that is perpendicularly mounted on the other end of the long screw. The bottom of the connecting rod is provided with a collar with an open end.

[0007] Preferred technical solution 1: A bracket is provided on the base at the position of track 2, and an optical fiber sensor is provided at the top of the bracket.

[0008] Preferred technical solution 2: The size of the collar is larger than the small end of the product and smaller than the large end of the product.

[0009] Preferred technical solution 3: Two fiber optic sensors are provided, located on both sides of track 2 and arranged opposite each other.

[0010] Preferred technical solution four: An arc-shaped slide is provided on one end of the second track near the first track.

[0011] Preferred technical solution five: The fiber optic sensor is externally connected to a PLC control system, and triggers a stop signal when the product remains stationary for more than 5 seconds.

[0012] The vibrating track turning mechanism for products with large and small heads proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above structure:

[0013] (1) The product is automatically transported on the track by the vibrator. Combined with the adjustment component, the product’s own size difference and gravity are used to achieve automatic turning. No manual intervention is required. This effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual adjustment and greatly improves the turning and transport efficiency of products with different sizes.

[0014] (2) The non-mechanical clamping turning method is adopted. The posture adjustment is completed by matching the size of the collar with the size of the product's large and small ends, avoiding damage to the product surface caused by mechanical clamping. At the same time, the overall structure is simple and the collar of the adjustment component is easy to replace, reducing the difficulty of equipment debugging and maintenance.

[0015] (3) The products on track 2 are monitored by fiber optic sensors and the automatic start and stop of the feeding equipment is realized through the PLC control system. The feeding can be stopped in time when the products are piled up, preventing excessive product accumulation and jamming, ensuring the orderly progress of the production process, and improving the stability and automation of the equipment operation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a vibrating track turning mechanism for products with different sizes of heads includes a base 1, and a first vibrator 2 and a second vibrator 3 installed on the base 1. A first track 4 is installed on the first vibrator 2, and a second track 5 is installed on the second vibrator 3. The discharge end of the first track 4 is located above the feed end of the second track 5. A swing frame 6 is also vertically arranged on the base 1 between the first vibrator 2 and the second vibrator 3. An adjustment component is provided at the top of the swing frame 6 and at the discharge port of the first track 4. The product placed on the first track 4 is gradually moved towards the discharge end by the first vibrator 2, and the size of the head is adjusted by the adjustment component. Then it falls onto the second track 5, and the product continues to move forward by the second vibrator 3.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a long screw 7 rotatably mounted on the top side wall of the swing frame 6 at one end, and a connecting rod 8 vertically mounted on the other end of the long screw 7. The bottom of the connecting rod 8 is provided with a collar 9 with an open end. The long screw 7 can rotate freely 360°. The bottom end of the connecting rod 8 is connected to the collar 9 by a thread, which makes it easy to replace collars 9 of different sizes according to product specifications.

[0026] The size of the collar 9 is larger than the small end of the product but smaller than the large end. In actual use, the small end of the product will enter the collar 9. When vibrating forward, the large end will fall first because it is heavier. Since the large end of the product cannot enter the inner hole of the collar 9, the large end will fall directly, thus making the product exit in a uniform posture.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3As shown, in order to buffer a certain number of products after they have turned around and then pause the operation, a bracket 10 is installed on the base 1 at the position of track 2 5, and a fiber optic sensor 11 is installed at the top of the bracket 10 to monitor the products on track 2 5. When the products on track 2 5 are full, the fiber optic sensor 11 senses that the products are no longer moving and will trigger an alarm signal to pause the feeding of the equipment to track 1 4 until no more products are sensed and then restart the feeding equipment. This effectively avoids product accumulation. There are two fiber optic sensors 11, which are located on both sides of track 2 5 and are set opposite to each other to monitor the accumulation of products on track 2 5.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the product fall more smoothly when turning around, an arc-shaped slide 12 is provided on one end of track 2 5 near track 1 4 to catch the falling object and guide it, prevent jamming, and prevent secondary overturning.

[0030] Among them, the fiber optic sensor 11 is externally connected to the PLC control system and triggers a stop signal when the product remains stationary for more than 5 seconds.

[0031] I. Preparations before use

[0032] Based on the specifications of the products with different sizes, select a matching collar 9. The size of the collar 9 must be larger than the small end of the product and smaller than the large end. Fix the selected collar 9 to the bottom of the connecting rod 8 with a threaded connection to ensure a firm connection and prevent it from falling off during vibration.

[0033] Check the positional relationship between track 4 and track 5 to ensure that the discharge end of track 4 is accurately located above the feed end of track 5, and that the arc-shaped slide 12 of track 5 near track 4 is free of obstructions to ensure that the product falls smoothly without jamming. At the same time, confirm that the long screw 7 on the swing frame 6 can rotate freely 360°, and that the connection between the connecting rod 8 and the collar 9 is not loose.

[0034] II. Startup and Operation Process

[0035] When vibrators 2 and 3 are activated, the vibration generated by vibrator 2 causes the products on track 4 to gradually move towards the discharge end along the track. When the products reach the discharge port of track 4, the smaller end of the product will naturally enter the collar 9, while the larger end, being larger than the collar 9, cannot enter. As track 4 continues to vibrate, the larger end, being heavier, will preferentially detach from track 4 and fall downwards; the smaller end, limited by the collar 9, will detach from the collar 9 due to inertia after the larger end falls and triggers a shift in the center of gravity. Finally, the products fall into the arc-shaped slide 12 of track 5 with the larger end in front and the smaller end behind. After being guided by the arc-shaped slide 12, the products in track 5 move forward along the track under the vibration of vibrator 3. When the products on track 5 accumulate to a certain quantity, two oppositely positioned fiber optic sensors 11 will detect that the products are stationary. If the stationary period exceeds 5 seconds, the PLC control system will trigger a stop signal, pausing the feeding equipment on track 4. Once the products on track 5 are removed by subsequent processes and the sensors no longer detect stationary products, the system will automatically restart the feeding equipment to prevent excessive product accumulation. To process products of different specifications, simply unscrew the old collar 9 and replace it with a new collar of the corresponding size. The operation requires no tools, making it convenient and efficient.
