This utility model belongs to the field of bearing processing technology, and in particular to a material handling device for bearing processing. It includes a base plate, a support seat fixed to the top of the base plate, and two guide rails (first type) fixed to the top of the support seat. Guide boxes are slidably connected to each guide rail, and bearing rings are placed inside the two guide boxes. Two second guide rails (second type) are fixed to the top of the support seat, and a moving plate is slidably connected to the two guide rails (second type). This utility model uses the two guide boxes to limit the falling bearing rings. When the moving plate drives the T-shaped push rod to move, the guide boxes release the limiting effect on the bearing rings. Subsequently, when the T-shaped push rod continues to move, it automatically pushes the bearing rings onto the material handling rack, preventing the bearing rings from falling directly into the handling equipment through the feeding channel and being damaged by impact. Furthermore, because the two guide boxes are movable, it can be used to collect and handle bearing rings of different diameters falling from the ground.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing technology, specifically a material handling device for bearing processing. Background Technology

[0002] Bearings are mechanical components primarily used to support rotating shafts, reduce friction loss, and transmit force and motion. They are widely used in various industrial, mechanical, and automotive fields to convert rotational power into linear motion and to withstand axial, radial, and torque loads. After the bearing rings are processed in the final stage of inline grinding, they are typically dropped into a handling device via a feeding channel. However, when there are many bearing rings in the handling device, the falling bearing rings may collide with those already in the device, causing damage to their surfaces. Therefore, we propose a material handling device for bearing processing to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a material handling device for bearing processing, including a base plate 1, a support base 2 fixed to the top of the base plate 1, two guide rails 3 fixed to the top of the support base 2, and guide boxes 4 slidably connected to each guide rail 3. The guide boxes 4 can also be made of plastic to prevent damage to the surface of the bearing ring 5 when it falls. The bearing ring 5 is placed inside the two guide boxes 4 for limiting. Two guide rails 6 fixed to the top of the support base 2, a movable plate 7 slidably connected to the two guide rails 6, and a T-shaped push rod 8 fixed to one side wall of the movable plate 7. Two connecting rods 9 are rotatably connected to one side wall of the movable plate 7 by a pin. The other end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the corresponding guide box 4 by a pin. The top of the support base 2... A fixed cylinder 10 is provided, with its ejector end fixedly connected to the movable plate 7. An adjustable support assembly 11 for limiting the bottom of the bearing ring 5 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. A retainer 12 is provided on one side of the support base 2, with two slots on the top of the retainer 12 each holding a material feeder 13. Two triangular reinforcing brackets 16 are fixed to each material feeder 13, enhancing its robustness and preventing deformation after supporting a certain number of bearing rings 5. A drive mechanism 14 for rotating and repositioning the two material feeders 13 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. During the use of this material feeder for bearing processing, after the entire device is installed, in-line grinding is then performed. The final feeding channel of the equipment corresponds to the positions of the two guide boxes 4. When the bearing ring 5 falls, it will be positioned between the two guide boxes 4, with its bottom supported by the adjustable support assembly 11. Then, after the cylinder 10 is activated, it pushes the moving plate 7 to move. The moving plate 7 then pushes the T-shaped push rod 8 to move. When the moving plate 7 moves, the two connecting rods 9 drive the two guide boxes 4 to move synchronously in opposite directions. When the T-shaped push rod 8 moves and comes into contact with one side of the bearing ring 5, the two guide boxes 4 will release the bearing ring 5 from its restraint. Then, when the T-shaped push rod 8 continues to push the bearing ring 5, it can be fitted onto the material handling rack 13. The above operation can then be repeated until one of the material handling racks 13 is fitted with a bearing ring 5. After a certain number of bearing rings 5 ​​have been fed, the drive mechanism 14 can be activated to rotate the chuck 12. When the chuck 12 rotates, it will rotate and reposition the two feed racks 13. Then, the operator can remove and replace the feed rack 13 containing the bearing rings 5. The feed rack 13 rotated to the other side can continue to receive the bearing rings 5. When the chuck 12 rotates, to avoid interference when the feed racks 13 rotate, the two guide boxes 4 should be driven to move away from each other to a certain distance. Therefore, there is no need to stop the machine when removing and replacing the bearing rings 5 ​​after feeding. When feeding bearing rings 5 ​​of different diameters, because the diameters of their feeding channels are different, the cylinder 10 can be operated to drive the moving plate 7 to move.At this point, with the cooperation of connecting rod 9, the two guide boxes 4 can be moved synchronously and adjusted to a suitable size for the bearing to be sorted. Then, the adjustable support assembly 11 can be operated for adjustment to support the bottom of the bearing ring 5 that needs to be sorted. As for the sorting rack 13, since it is snapped onto the bracket 12, it can be removed and replaced with a sorting rack 13 that is compatible with the bearing ring 5 that needs to be sorted, and then the sorting and collection work can continue.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustable support assembly 11 includes two guide rails 1101 fixed on the support base 2, and a support block 1102 slidably connected between the two guide rails 1101. The support block 1102 has a clearance slot adapted to the T-shaped push rod 8. A cylinder 1103 is fixed on the top of the base plate 1. The top end of the cylinder 1103 is fixedly connected to the support block 1102. In use, starting the cylinder 1103 can drive the support block 1102 to move upward for adjustment, thereby facilitating the support of the bottom of bearing rings 5 ​​of different diameters. The clearance slot adapted to the T-shaped push rod 8 is provided on the support block 1102 so that the bearing ring 5 will not be interfered with when the T-shaped push rod 8 pushes it to move. In addition, two plastic pads are fixed on the top of the support block 1102 so that the bearing ring 5 will not be damaged after colliding with the support block 1102 when it falls.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 14 includes a mounting base 1401 fixed to the top of the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 1402 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1401 via a bearing. The top end of the rotating shaft 1402 is fixedly connected to the card holder 12. A motor 1403 is fixed to the mounting base 1401. The output end of the motor 1403 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 1402. A ring rail 1404 is fixed to the top of the mounting base 1401. Two arc-shaped plates 1405 adapted to the ring rail 1404 are fixed to the bottom of the card holder 12, which can provide auxiliary support for the card holder 12, thereby making it more stable during rotation. In use, starting the motor 1403 with deceleration and self-locking function can drive the rotating shaft 1402 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 1402 rotates, it will drive the card holder 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation and repositioning of the two material handling racks 13.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, an L-shaped plate 15 is fixed on the material handling rack 13, and a handle is fixed on the top of the L-shaped plate 15. With the cooperation of the handle, it is more convenient for the operator to operate the material handling rack 13 when it is snapped onto the card holder 12 and removed from the card holder 12.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
