Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding material feeding technology, specifically a small round part feeding fixture for automated welding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In some welding processes, small round parts need to be welded, which usually requires the use of clamps to fix them. However, traditional clamps have limited functionality and are often unable to clamp multiple small round parts at the same time. In addition, ordinary clamps are not convenient for adjusting the height of small round parts. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a small round part loading clamp for automated welding equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A small round part feeding fixture for an automated welding equipment, comprising:

[0006] The outer shell is a hollow cylinder. Multiple insertion ports are arranged around the top of the outer shell with the central axis of the outer shell as the center. Vertical openings are opened on the side walls of the outer shell near each insertion port. A circular lifting plate is installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell through lifting. A placement rack is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate directly below each insertion port. A small round piece is placed inside each placement rack.

[0007] A clamping mechanism is provided on each of the placement racks and is used to clamp the side wall of the small round piece. The clamping mechanism includes a slide rod that slides through the side wall of each placement rack. One end of the slide rod is provided with a clamping plate that presses against the side wall of the small round piece. A spring parallel to the slide rod is provided between the clamping plate and the placement rack. The other end of the slide rod is provided with a connecting block that protrudes through the opening. The lower end of the connecting block is provided with an upper triangular block in the shape of a triangular body, and a handle protrudes from the side wall.

[0008] The housing is located at the bottom of the outer shell and has a mounting slot at the top. A drive assembly for controlling all the clamps to move away from the small round piece is installed inside the mounting slot.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the small round part feeding fixture of the automated welding equipment described in this utility model, at least one vertical first guide rod is fixedly arranged between the upper and lower walls of the inner cavity of the outer shell, and a vertical first threaded column is rotatably arranged. The rod body of the first guide rod slides through the upper and lower walls of the lifting plate, and the rod body of the first threaded column is screwed through the upper and lower walls of the lifting plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the small round part feeding fixture of the automated welding equipment described in this utility model, wherein: a first bevel gear is provided at the upper end of the first threaded column, a first drive rod perpendicular to the first threaded column is rotatably provided through the front side wall of the outer shell, a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is provided at one end of the first drive rod, and a first drive disc is provided at the other end of the first drive rod located outside the outer shell.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the small round part feeding fixture of the automated welding equipment described in this utility model, the driving component includes a movable plate that is lifted and disposed inside the mounting groove. A vertical second threaded column is rotatably disposed at the center of the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The rod of the second threaded column is screwed through the center of the upper and lower walls of the movable plate. At least one vertical second guide rod is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The rod of the second guide rod slides through the upper and lower walls of the movable plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the small round part feeding fixture of the automated welding equipment described in this utility model, wherein: the outer end of the movable plate is located outside the shell and a lower triangular block in the shape of a triangular body is fixedly provided on the upper side wall, and the lower triangular block is correspondingly provided with the upper triangular block;

[0013] As the lower triangular block gradually rises, the "sloping surface" of the lower triangular block gradually presses against the "sloping surface" of the upper triangular block, pulling the connecting block away from the placement frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when all the small round parts need to be installed at the same time, the driving component causes the movable plate to gradually rise along the second threaded column and the second guide rod. At this time, the "inclined surface" of the lower triangular block gradually squeezes the "inclined surface" of the upper triangular block, pulling the connecting block away from the placement frame. The sliding rod pulls the clamping plate, which also further compresses the spring. That is, the small round parts that need to be clamped can be placed into the interior of the placement frame one by one. Then, the height of the movable plate is lowered, the upper triangular block is no longer squeezed, and the spring pushes the clamping plate to clamp the small round parts between the clamping plate and the side wall of the placement frame.

[0015] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the small round parts for feeding, the first drive plate drives the first drive rod to rotate, and then the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear drive the first threaded column to rotate, so that the lifting plate gradually rises along the first threaded column and the first guide rod to achieve feeding.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7 The diagram shows a structural schematic of an embodiment of a small round part feeding fixture for an automated welding equipment according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-7 This paper provides a detailed description of a small round part feeding fixture for an automated welding equipment.

[0030] A small round part loading fixture for an automated welding equipment includes a housing 100, which is a hollow cylinder. The top of the housing 100 has multiple loading ports 101 arranged around its central axis. The sidewall of the housing 100 has a vertical opening 102 near each loading port 101. A circular lifting plate 103 is installed in the inner cavity of the housing 100 via a lifting mechanism. A placement rack 104 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 103 directly below each loading port 101. Each placement rack 104 holds a small round part 105.

[0031] Wherein: at least one vertical first guide rod 106 is fixedly provided between the upper and lower walls of the inner cavity of the outer shell 100, and a vertical first threaded post 107 is rotatably provided. The rod body of the first guide rod 106 slides through the upper and lower walls of the lifting plate 103, and the rod body of the first threaded post 107 is screwed through the upper and lower walls of the lifting plate 103.

[0032] A first bevel gear 108 is provided at the upper end of the first threaded post 107. A first drive rod 109 perpendicular to the first threaded post 107 is rotatably provided through the front side wall of the outer shell 100. A second bevel gear 110 meshing with the first bevel gear 108 is provided at one end of the first drive rod 109. The other end of the first drive rod 109 is located outside the outer shell 100 and is provided with a first drive disk 111. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the small round part 105 for feeding, the first drive rod 109 is rotated by the first drive disk 111, and then the first threaded post 107 is rotated by the second bevel gear 110 and the first bevel gear 108, so that the lifting plate 103 gradually rises along the rod body of the first threaded post 107 and the first guide rod 106 to realize feeding.

[0033] A clamping mechanism 200 is disposed on each of the placement racks 104 and is used to clamp the side wall of the small round part 105. The clamping mechanism 200 includes a slide rod 201 that slides through the side wall of each placement rack 104. One end of the slide rod 201 is provided with a clamping plate 202 that presses against the side wall of the small round part 105. A spring 203 parallel to the slide rod 201 is provided between the clamping plate 202 and the placement rack 104. The other end of the slide rod 201 is provided with a connecting block 204 that protrudes through the opening 102. The lower end of the connecting block 204 is provided with an upper triangular block 205 in the shape of a triangular body, and a handle 206 protrudes from the side wall. By pulling the corresponding slide rod 201 through the handle 206, the clamping plate 202 is moved away from the small round part 105, and the corresponding small round part 105 can be taken out.

[0034] The housing 300 is disposed at the bottom of the outer shell 100 and has a mounting groove 301 on the top. A drive assembly for controlling all the clamps 202 to move away from the small round piece 105 is installed inside the mounting groove 301.

[0035] The drive assembly includes a movable plate 303 that is lifted and disposed inside the mounting groove 301. A vertical second threaded post 304 is rotatably disposed at the center of the bottom wall of the mounting groove 301. The rod of the second threaded post 304 is screwed through the center of the upper and lower walls of the movable plate 303. At least one vertical second guide rod 305 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 301. The rod of the second guide rod 305 slides through the upper and lower walls of the movable plate 303.

[0036] The outer end of the movable plate 303 is located outside the housing 300 and a lower triangular block 306 in the shape of a triangular body is fixedly provided on the upper side wall. The lower triangular block 306 is correspondingly provided with the upper triangular block 205.

[0037] As the lower triangular block 306 gradually rises, the "inclined surface" of the lower triangular block 306 gradually presses against the "inclined surface" of the upper triangular block 205, pulling the connecting block 204 away from the placement rack 104.

[0038] A first gear 307 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the second threaded post 304. A second drive rod 308, perpendicular to the second threaded post 304, is rotatably mounted through the front side wall of the housing 300. One end of the second drive rod 308 is provided with a second gear 309 that meshes with the first gear 307. The other end of the second drive rod 308 is located outside the housing 300 and is provided with a second drive disc 310. When it is necessary to clamp all the small round parts 105 at the same time, the second drive rod 308 is driven to rotate through the mounting groove 301. The movement is then driven by the second gear 309 and the first gear 307 to rotate the second threaded column 304, causing the movable plate 303 to gradually rise along the second threaded column 304 and the second guide rod 305. At this time, the "inclined surface" of the lower triangular block 306 gradually squeezes the "inclined surface" of the upper triangular block 205, pulling the connecting block 204 away from the placement frame 104. The sliding rod 201 pulls the clamping plate 202, which also further compresses the spring 203, so that the small round parts 105 that need to be clamped can be placed into the interior of the placement frame 104 one by one.

[0039] In specific use, when all the small round parts 105 need to be installed at the same time, the drive assembly causes the movable plate 303 to gradually rise along the second threaded post 304 and the second guide rod 305. At this time, the "inclined surface" of the lower triangular block 306 gradually squeezes the "inclined surface" of the upper triangular block 205, pulling the connecting block 204 away from the placement frame 104. The slide rod 201 pulls the clamping plate 202, which also causes the spring 203 to be further compressed. That is, the small round parts 105 that need to be clamped can be placed into the interior of the placement frame 104 one by one. Then, the height of the movable plate 303 is lowered, the upper triangular block 205 is no longer squeezed, and the spring 203 pushes the clamping plate 202 to clamp the small round parts 105 between the clamping plate 202 and the side wall of the placement frame 104.

[0040] When the height of the small round part 105 needs to be adjusted for feeding, the first drive rod 109 is rotated by the first drive disc 111, and the first threaded column 107 is rotated by the second bevel gear 110 and the first bevel gear 108, so that the lifting plate 103 gradually rises along the rod body of the first threaded column 107 and the first guide rod 106 to achieve feeding.

[0041] When it is necessary to replace a small round part 105 individually, the corresponding slide bar 201 can be pulled by the handle 206 to move the clamp 202 away from the small round part 105, so that the corresponding small round part 105 can be removed.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
