Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a diaphragm spring flipping feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Diaphragm springs are elastic elements with a special structure, and they have extremely wide and important applications in the field of mechanical engineering, especially in automotive clutch systems. As a key component in clutches, diaphragm springs require shot blasting strengthening treatment on both the front and back sides to enhance their fatigue strength. With technological advancements and increased production efficiency, people are increasingly pursuing higher levels of automation in production equipment. This reduces the labor intensity of operators and ensures consistent product quality. Furthermore, companies are modifying related production processes to replace traditional ones, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality and adapting well to the level of equipment automation.
[0003] In the existing technology, in the diaphragm spring production process, after the diaphragm spring has undergone shot blasting on the front side, the operator needs to manually flip it so that the reverse side is facing up before placing it into the subsequent shot blasting equipment for shot blasting on the reverse side. This requires the operator to repeatedly flip the diaphragm spring for a long time, resulting in huge physical exertion and extremely high labor intensity. This not only easily leads to physical fatigue for the operator but may also cause occupational injury and other health problems. Moreover, due to the significant subjectivity and uncertainty of manual operation, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of each flipping action. This results in inconsistent shot blasting effects on the reverse side of the diaphragm spring, ultimately leading to unstable product performance and affecting the overall quality and reliability of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the diaphragm spring flipping and feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8This utility model provides an embodiment of a diaphragm spring flipping and feeding device, including a receiving frame 1, a distributing frame 4 disposed on one side of the receiving frame 1, a flipping frame 5 disposed on the side of the distributing frame 4 away from the receiving frame 1, a receiving and steering frame 6 disposed on the side of the flipping frame 5 away from the distributing frame 4, an adjusting component disposed on the receiving frame 1, a first driving roller 22 rotatably connected to the receiving frame 1, a first driven roller 23 rotatably connected to the receiving frame 1, a semicircular block 29 fixedly connected to the distributing frame 4, and a long rod 210 rotatably connected inside the semicircular block 29. The fifth sprocket 213, the head sprocket 214 rotatably connected inside the material distribution frame 4, the tensioning wheel 216 rotatably connected inside the material distribution frame 4, the tail sprocket 215 rotatably connected inside the material distribution frame 4, the third transmission chain 217 drivingly connected between the head sprocket 214, the tail sprocket 215 and the fifth sprocket 213, the rotating shaft 219 rotatably connected inside the tilting frame 5, the tilting plate 220 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 219, the support frame 221 fixedly connected to the tilting frame 5, the material detection switch 222 fixedly connected to the support frame 221, and the receiving and turning frame 6 rotatably connected inside the material receiving and turning frame 6. The second driving roller 224 and the second driven roller 226, which are rotatably connected inside the receiving and turning frame 6, are all installed on the distributing frame 4, the turning frame 5, and the receiving and turning frame 6. The diaphragm springs are conveyed by the third transmission chain 217 and turned by the turning plate 220. The presence of diaphragm springs on the distributing frame 4 is detected by the material presence detection switch 222. The diaphragm springs on the shot blasting equipment are conveyed to the distributing frame 4, and then conveyed to the turning frame 5 by the third transmission chain 217. The presence of diaphragm springs on the distributing frame 4 is detected by the material presence detection switch 222. When loading diaphragm springs, the flipping plate 220 is rotated 22.5 degrees to transport the flipped diaphragm springs to the receiving and steering frame 6, which then drives the diaphragm springs to be transported to the next shot blasting equipment. This eliminates the need for operators to repeatedly flip the diaphragm springs for extended periods, improving the accuracy and consistency of each flipping action, enhancing product performance stability, overall product quality and reliability, and improving the practicality of the device. The adjustment components allow for individual adjustment of the heights of the receiving frame 1, the distributing frame 4, the flipping frame 5, and the receiving and steering frame 6, further improving the practicality of flipping and loading diaphragm springs.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 7In this embodiment, several sets of first driven rollers 23 are arranged, and these sets are sequentially distributed on the receiving frame 1. All sets of first driven rollers 23 are connected by a transmission chain, facilitating the receiving of diaphragm springs on the shot blasting equipment and improving the flipping effect of the diaphragm springs. Several sets of second driven rollers 226 are arranged, and these sets are sequentially distributed on the receiving and steering frame 6. All sets of second driven rollers 226 are connected by a transmission chain, facilitating the conveying of the flipped diaphragm springs to the next shot blasting equipment, thus improving the practicality of the device. A first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the receiving frame 1, and a first driving roller 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 21. A first sprocket 24 is fixedly connected to the drive roller 22, and a second sprocket 25 is fixedly connected to the first driven roller 23. A first transmission chain 26 drives between the first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25. A second motor 27 is fixedly connected inside the material distribution frame 4. A third sprocket 28 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 27. A fourth sprocket 211 is fixedly connected to the long rod 210. A second transmission chain 212 drives between the fourth sprocket 211 and the third sprocket 28. A third motor 218 is fixedly connected to the tilting frame 5. A rotating shaft 219 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 218. A fourth motor 223 is fixedly connected to the receiving and steering frame 6. The second drive roller 224 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth motor 223. At the end, a sixth sprocket 225 is fixedly connected to the second driving roller 224, and a seventh sprocket 227 is fixedly connected to the second driven roller 226. A fourth transmission chain 228 connects the seventh sprocket 227 and the sixth sprocket 225. The diaphragm spring on the shot blasting equipment is conveyed to the material distribution frame 4, and then conveyed to the tilting frame 5 by the third transmission chain 217. When the material detection switch 222 senses that there is a diaphragm spring on the material distribution frame 4, the tilting plate 220 is rotated 22.5 degrees, and the tilted diaphragm spring is conveyed to the second driving roller 224 and several sets of second driven rollers 226 on the receiving and turning frame 6, so that it drives the diaphragm spring to be conveyed to the next shot blasting equipment. This design eliminates the need for operators to repeatedly perform diaphragm spring flipping actions over extended periods, improving the accuracy and consistency of each flipping action, enhancing product performance stability, overall product quality and reliability, and thus improving the device's practicality. The dispensing frame 4 has corresponding slots on the flipping plate 220, which is movably connected within these slots. This ensures that the dispensing frame 4 does not restrict the flipping plate 220's rotation, improving its rotational stability and increasing the efficiency of diaphragm spring flipping. Several sets of second driven rollers 226 are spaced with gaps adapted to the flipping plate 220, allowing the flipping plate 220 to move within these gaps.This improves the conveying effect on the diaphragm spring after it flips, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 8 In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a fixing ear 31 fixedly connected to the receiving frame 1, a threaded rod 32 threadedly connected inside the fixing ear 31, a rotating handle 33 fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 32, a support block 34 fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 32, and a rubber pad 35 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block 34. The fixing ears 31 are all fixedly connected to the dispensing frame 4, the tilting frame 5, and the receiving turning frame 6. The adjustment component adjusts the height of the receiving frame 1, the dispensing frame 4, the tilting frame 5, and the receiving turning frame 6 to improve the practicality of tilting and feeding the diaphragm spring. Several sets of fixing ears 31 are provided, and the sets of fixing ears 31 are symmetrically distributed on the receiving frame 1, the dispensing frame 4, the tilting frame 5, and the receiving turning frame 6, so that the height of the receiving frame 1, the dispensing frame 4, the tilting frame 5, and the receiving turning frame 6 can be adjusted individually, thereby improving practicality.
[0029] During operation, rotating the handle 33 causes it to be threaded into the fixed ear 31 via the threaded rod 32, thereby adjusting the height of the support block 34. This allows for the adjustment of the heights of the receiving frame 1, the distributing frame 4, the tilting frame 5, and the receiving steering frame 6, improving the practicality of the device. Starting the first motor 21 causes the first drive roller 22 to rotate inside the receiving frame 1, which in turn drives the first driven roller 23 to rotate in the same direction via the first transmission chain 26. This, in turn, drives several driven rollers 23 to rotate synchronously, conveying the diaphragm springs from the shot blasting equipment onto the distributing frame 4. Starting the second motor 27 causes the long rod 210 to rotate inside the semi-circular block 29 via the second transmission chain 212, which then drives the diaphragm springs onto the tilting frame 5 via the third transmission chain 217. The conveying process is achieved by using tensioning wheel 216 to control the tension of the third transmission chain 217, ensuring the smoothness of the conveying. Sixteen sets of tilting plates 220 are arranged, each set divided into four columns, with an included angle of 22.5 degrees between each set. The included angle between each pair of sets accommodates the diaphragm spring. When the material detection switch 222 senses a diaphragm spring on the material distribution frame 4, it activates the third motor 218, causing the rotating shaft 219 to rotate inside the tilting frame 5. This, in turn, rotates the tilting plates 220 by 22.5 degrees, conveying the tilted diaphragm spring to the second driving roller 224 and several sets of second driven rollers 226 on the receiving and steering frame 6. The fourth motor 223 then drives the diaphragm spring for further conveying to the next shot blasting device, improving the practicality of the device.
[0030] Through the above steps, the diaphragm springs on the shot blasting equipment are conveyed to the material distribution frame 4, and then conveyed to the flipping frame 5 via the third transmission chain 217. When the material detection switch 222 senses that there are diaphragm springs on the material distribution frame 4, the flipping plate 220 rotates 22.5 degrees, conveying the flipped diaphragm springs to the receiving and turning frame 6, which then drives the diaphragm springs to be conveyed to the next shot blasting equipment. This eliminates the need for operators to repeatedly flip the diaphragm springs for extended periods, thus solving the problem that after the diaphragm springs have undergone frontal shot blasting strengthening treatment, operators need to manually flip them, which not only requires operators to repeatedly flip the diaphragm springs for extended periods but also makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each flipping action.
