Engine valve spring production line conveying mechanism

Abstract

This utility model relates to a conveying mechanism for an engine valve spring production line, including a platform with a first conveying device and a pushing mechanism on the right side of the platform. This conveying mechanism, through the pushing mechanism, ensures that when engine valve springs are conveyed by the first conveying device and fall onto the drive box, they scatter horizontally. Then, a first hydraulic pushing device pushes these horizontally scattered engine valve springs onto a material conveying box. A material conveying trough then allows the valve springs pushed onto the material conveying box to fall one by one into a storage box on a second conveying device. Finally, a second hydraulic push-pull device effectively unclogs the material conveying trough and, by controlling its extension and retraction, slows down the discharge speed of the valve springs. Therefore, this mechanism is highly practical.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine valve spring manufacturing technology, specifically to a conveying mechanism for an engine valve spring production line. Background Technology

[0002] Valve springs are small tools that ensure valves sit in time and fit tightly, preventing valves from jumping when the engine vibrates and compromising their seal. These parts are often transported by manual labor or mechanical equipment during production.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of conveying mechanisms for existing engine valve spring production lines. For example, Chinese patent number CN202221084750.8 describes a conveying mechanism for an engine valve spring production line. This patent includes a conveyor and a conveyor line. The conveyor is mounted on a base, and a platform is installed on the base at one end of the conveyor. An L-shaped baffle is installed on the side of the platform, and a cylinder is installed on the L-shaped baffle. The output shaft of the cylinder extends to the inside of the L-shaped baffle and connects to a push plate. This engine valve spring production line conveying mechanism transports springs to the platform via the conveyor. The cylinder drives the push plate to push the springs on the platform onto the conveyor table, where they fall into an arc-shaped groove. An electric cylinder drives a fixing block to push the springs out of the conveyor table and onto the conveyor line. This replaces manual spring transport, resulting in high efficiency, reduced labor input, and lower costs. However, in actual use, this equipment cannot reliably guarantee that the circular springs can move accurately and without deviation into the groove on the conveyor table. If blockage occurs, it will seriously affect the conveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a conveying mechanism for an engine valve spring production line, which has the advantage of stable transfer and solves the problem that the equipment cannot reliably guarantee the delivery of springs.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned stable transfer objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveying mechanism for an engine valve spring production line, including a machine platform, a first conveying device on the machine platform, a pushing mechanism on the right side of the machine platform, a second conveying device connected to the front side of the pushing mechanism, and several storage boxes evenly arranged on the second conveying device.

[0006] The pushing mechanism includes a drive box, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the equipment platform. An L-shaped anti-fall plate is fixedly installed above the drive box. A first hydraulic pushing device is fixedly installed on the L-shaped anti-fall plate. A material conveying box is fixedly connected to the front side of the drive box. A material conveying trough communicating with the front side wall is opened on the top of the material conveying box. A baffle plate is fixedly installed above the material conveying box. A second hydraulic pushing device extending into the material conveying trough is provided inside the drive box.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first hydraulic pusher and the second hydraulic pusher are equipped with arc-shaped pusher plates at their movable ends.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first and second conveying devices are composed of components such as conveyor belts, drive structures, support frames, and guide rails.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the storage boxes has anti-slip particles on its inner bottom wall, and each of the storage boxes has a material clamping plate on the side near the pushing mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the first conveying device is equipped with two guide plates, both of which are inclined plates on the side near the pushing mechanism, and the inclination angle is 50°.

[0011] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the front side of the material box and above the second conveying device.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the storage boxes is equipped with a sensor adapted to the sensor on the left inner wall.

[0013] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the rear side of the drive box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The conveying mechanism of this engine valve spring production line, by setting up a pushing mechanism, firstly, when engine valve springs fall onto the drive box via the first conveying device, these engine valve springs will be scattered horizontally due to the restriction of two guide plates. Then, by setting up a first hydraulic pushing device, these horizontally scattered engine valve springs will be pushed onto the conveying box by the operation of the first hydraulic pushing device. Then, by setting up a material conveying trough, the valve springs pushed onto the conveying box will fall one by one into the material conveying trough and then into the storage box on the second conveying device. Finally, by setting up a second hydraulic push-pull device, not only can the material conveying trough be effectively cleared, but the discharge speed of the valve springs can also be slowed down by controlling its extension end. Therefore, this mechanism is not only highly practical, but also more controllable. Attached Figure Description

[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] Please see Figure 1-4 The conveying mechanism of an engine valve spring production line in this embodiment includes a platform 1, a first conveying device 2 is provided on the platform 1, a pushing mechanism 3 is provided on the right side of the platform 1, a second conveying device 4 is connected to the front side of the pushing mechanism 3, and a plurality of storage boxes 5 are evenly arranged on the second conveying device 4.

[0023] The pushing mechanism 3 includes a drive box 301. The drive box 301 is fixedly connected to the right side of the equipment platform 1. An L-shaped anti-fall plate 302 is fixedly installed above the drive box 301. A first hydraulic pushing device 303 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped anti-fall plate 302. A conveying box 304 is fixedly connected to the front side of the drive box 301. A material conveying trough 305 communicating with the front side wall is opened on the top of the conveying box 304. A baffle plate 306 is fixedly installed above the conveying box 304. A second hydraulic pushing device 307 extending into the material conveying trough 305 is provided inside the drive box 301. The movable ends of both the first hydraulic pushing device 303 and the second hydraulic pushing device 307 are provided with arc-shaped pushing plates. Thus, when an engine valve spring passes through the first conveying device 2... When the valve springs are conveyed and fall onto the drive box 301, they will be scattered horizontally due to the restriction of the two guide plates 6. Then, by setting the first hydraulic pusher 3033, these horizontally scattered valve springs will be pushed onto the material box 304 by the operation of the first hydraulic pusher 303. Then, by setting the material conveying trough 305, the valve springs pushed onto the material box will fall into the material conveying trough 305 one by one, and then fall into the storage box 5 on the second conveying device 4 in sequence. Finally, by setting the second hydraulic push-pull device 307, not only can the material conveying trough 305 be effectively cleared, but the discharge speed of the valve springs can also be reduced by controlling its extension end. Therefore, this mechanism is not only highly practical, but also more controllable.

[0024] In the implementation of the case, both the first conveying device 2 and the second conveying device 4 are composed of components such as conveyor belts, drive structures, support frames and guide rails. This design can effectively replace the cost of manual material handling, and at the same time, the material handling efficiency is also high.

[0025] In the implementation of the case, anti-slip particles 501 are provided on the inner bottom wall of each storage box 5, and a clamping plate 502 is provided on the side of each storage box 5 near the pushing mechanism 3. This design can ensure the stability of the valve spring during conveying and reduce the phenomenon of spring falling off during transportation.

[0026] In the implementation of the case, the first conveying device 2 is equipped with two guide plates 6. The side of the two guide plates 6 closest to the pushing mechanism 3 is designed as an inclined plate with an inclination angle of 50°. This design can effectively ensure that the springs are scattered horizontally when they are conveyed to the drive box 301, making them easier to transport.

[0027] In the implementation of this case, a sensor 7 is installed on the front side of the material box 304 and above the second conveying device 4. A sensor 8 adapted to the sensor 7 is installed on the inner left side of each storage box 5. A controller 9 is installed on the rear side of the drive box 301. The controller 9 is electrically connected to all electronic components in this case through wires. Thus, the controller 9 can control the overall working state of the equipment. At the same time, the design of the sensor 7 and the sensor 8 allows the sensor 7 to pause the operation of the second conveying device 4 whenever the storage box 5 passes by the sensor 7. It also controls the operation of the first hydraulic pusher 303 and the second hydraulic pusher 307. The overall operation is relatively intelligent and highly practical.

[0028] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:

[0029] 1) Firstly, when engine valve springs fall onto the drive box 301 via the first conveying device 2, these engine valve springs will be scattered horizontally due to the restriction of the two guide plates 6.

[0030] 2) Then, by setting the first hydraulic pusher device 3033, these horizontally scattered engine valve springs will be pushed onto the material box 304 by the operation of the first hydraulic pusher device 303.

[0031] 3) By setting up the material conveying trough 305, the valve springs that are pushed onto the conveying box will fall into the material conveying trough 305 one by one, and then fall into the storage box 5 on the second conveying device 4 in sequence.

[0032] 4) Finally, by setting the second hydraulic push-pull device 307, not only can the material conveying trough 305 be effectively cleared, but the feeding speed of the valve spring can also be reduced by controlling its extension end.

[0033] In summary, the conveying mechanism of this engine valve spring production line, by setting up a pushing mechanism 3, firstly, when engine valve springs fall onto the drive box 301 via the first conveying device 2, these engine valve springs will be horizontally scattered due to the restriction of the two guide plates 6. Then, by setting up a first hydraulic pushing device 3033, these horizontally scattered engine valve springs will be pushed onto the conveying box 304 by the operation of the first hydraulic pushing device 303. Finally, by setting up a material conveying trough 305, those pushed to the conveying box 304 will be further conveyed. The valve springs on the material box will fall one by one into the material conveying trough 305, and then into the storage box 5 on the second conveying device 4. Finally, by setting the second hydraulic push-pull device 307, not only can the material conveying trough 305 be effectively cleared, but the material discharge speed of the valve springs can also be reduced by controlling its extension end. Thus, the mechanism is not only more practical, but also more controllable. It solves the problem that the equipment cannot reliably ensure that the circular springs can move accurately and without deviation into the groove on the conveying table. If a blockage occurs, it will seriously affect the conveying efficiency.
