Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated device for bending and welding hangers. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of a dishwasher, the dish rack is a crucial component. It is placed inside the dishwasher and is used to stably support and secure various bowls, plates, and tableware. Its manufacturing process is roughly as follows: First, a metal frame is used as the main structure. Then, a coating such as PA polyamide or PP polypropylene is applied to the metal frame. These coatings form a protective film on the surface, the core purpose of which is to isolate external factors and effectively prevent the metal frame from rusting, thereby ensuring the durability of the dish rack.

[0003] Currently, in the processing of bowl baskets, hooks and other hanging parts are often welded onto the baskets to facilitate subsequent baking and painting processes. These hooks allow the baskets to be suspended on the bowl basket baking and painting production line. This not only facilitates the transportation of the baskets on the production line, but also helps the baking and painting operations to fully cover the surface of the baskets, thereby ensuring the quality level after baking and painting.

[0004] However, the current hook manufacturing process has some drawbacks. Regarding the hook itself, workers typically place a vertical iron bar or rod on a hook bending device, bend it into shape, and then manually remove it. This process is repeated for each subsequent bar or rod, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, from an equipment coordination perspective, the device responsible for welding the hooks to the basket and the device for bending the hooks usually operate independently, lacking effective coordination. This disconnect further hinders efficiency, making the overall production process less smooth and efficient, and failing to meet the demands of high-efficiency production.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model was developed to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model discloses an automated hanging fixture bending and welding device, including a base 1. The base 1 is provided with a bending mechanism 2 for bending a rod 100 to form a hanging fixture 200. The base 1 is provided with a rod supply mechanism 3 for storing and supplying rods 100. The base 1 is provided with a pushing mechanism 4 for pushing rods 100 to the bending mechanism 2 between the bending mechanism 2 and the rod supply mechanism 3. The base 1 is provided with a basket positioning component 5 for positioning a basket 300 so that the hanging fixture 200 is connected to the basket 300. The base 1 is also provided with a welding mechanism 6 for welding the connection position between the basket 300 and the hanging fixture 200 at the basket positioning component 5. This utility model integrates the rod supply mechanism, the jacking mechanism, the bending mechanism, the basket positioning component and the welding mechanism on a single base, making the entire equipment structure compact, saving production space, facilitating the rational layout of production equipment in a limited workshop area, and improving space utilization; at the same time, it can also effectively improve production efficiency and ensure product quality, while saving labor costs.

[0037] This invention integrates a welding mechanism and a bending mechanism into one device, which can work together. After the hanger is formed in the bending mechanism, the welding basket positioning component can accurately position the basket, so that the hanger and the basket can be accurately connected. The welding mechanism can weld the connection between the hanger and the basket in a timely manner, eliminating the intermediate step of transferring the hanger from the bending mechanism to the welding mechanism, reducing the transfer time between devices, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 3-6As shown, the base 1 is provided with a mounting base plate 11; the rod supply mechanism 3 includes a rod storage bin 31 provided on the mounting base plate 11, the bottom of the rod storage bin 31 is provided with a rod conveying channel 32 for the row output of rods 100, and the rod conveying channel 32 is provided with a rod unloading control component 33 for controlling the output of a single rod 100 from the outlet of the rod conveying channel 32; the rod supply mechanism 3 also includes a rod transport plate 34 slidably provided on the mounting base plate 11 and located below the rod storage bin 31, the rod transport plate 34 is provided with a rod storage groove 341 for storing rods 100, and the mounting base plate 11 is provided with a transport drive component 35 for driving the rod transport plate 34 to slide accordingly. The rod feeding control assembly 33 includes a feeding control wheel 332 rotatably disposed within the rod conveying channel 32. The feeding control wheel 332 has a rod storage groove 333 on its outer periphery for temporarily storing a single rod 100. The rod feeding control assembly 33 also includes a rotation drive member 331 for driving the feeding control wheel 332 to rotate accordingly. Figure 6 As shown, when the rod storage groove 333 receives the rod 100 from the upper part of the rod conveying channel 32, the rotation drive 331 drives the unloading control wheel 332 to rotate 180° so that the rod storage groove 333 is aligned with the outlet of the rod conveying channel 32. At this moment, the rod 100 falls from the outlet of the rod conveying channel 32 into the rod storage groove 341. Then, the transport drive 35 drives the rod transport plate 34 to slide towards the bending mechanism until the corresponding slot of the rod storage groove 341 is aligned with the corresponding port of the placement positioning channel 21. After that, the push drive 41 drives the push rod 42 to push the rod 100 in the rod storage groove 341 into the placement positioning channel 21.

[0039] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the rod storage bin 31 is inclined to one side, and the rod conveying channel 32 is located at the lower position of the rod storage bin 31, so that the rods can automatically slide to the lower position under their own gravity, which facilitates the rods to enter the rod conveying channel smoothly. No additional power device is needed to push the rods to move, which effectively simplifies the mechanical structure and reduces the complexity and cost of the equipment.

[0040] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, in order to effectively prevent the rods from accumulating or getting stuck at the bottom of the rod storage bin, and to ensure that the rods can smoothly enter the rod conveying channel, thereby improving the stability and continuity of the rod supply, the rod storage bin 31 is equipped with a lifting top block 37 that can move up and down. The lifting top block 37 is equipped with a guide inclined wall 371, and the rod storage bin 31 is equipped with a top plate drive component 36 for driving the lifting top block 37 to move accordingly.

[0041] like Figure 7-9 As shown, to improve bending efficiency, the bending mechanism 2 includes a placement and positioning channel 21 on the mounting base plate 11 for placing the positioning rod 100. A bending rotating seat 22 is rotatably provided on the mounting base plate 11 at the corresponding port position of the placement and positioning channel 21. A forming rod 221 is provided at the center of the upper end of the bending rotating seat 22, and a bending rod 222 is provided at an eccentric position on the upper end of the bending rotating seat 22. The bending mechanism 2 also includes a bending drive assembly 23 on the mounting base plate 11 for driving the bending rotating seat 22 to rotate accordingly. When the push rod 42 pushes the rod 100 in the rod storage groove 341 to the placement and positioning channel 21, the bent section of the rod 100 is located between the bending rod 222 and the forming rod 221. That is, the bending drive assembly 23 drives the bending rotating seat 22 to rotate accordingly, causing the bending rod 222 to bend the bent section of the rod 100 around the forming rod 221. Figure 8 As shown.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, the bending drive assembly 23 includes a bending drive cylinder 231 mounted on the mounting base plate 11. The cylinder rod of the bending drive cylinder 231 is connected to a bending drive gear block 232, and the lower end of the bending rotating seat 22 is connected to a bending transmission gear 233 that engages with the bending drive gear block 232. The meshing transmission between the bending drive gear block and the bending transmission gear allows for precise control of the rotation angle of the bending rotating seat. By adjusting the extension length of the bending drive cylinder, precise control of the bending angle can be achieved, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the bending of the fixtures, guaranteeing the accuracy of the bending angle and dimensions of each fixture, and improving the quality stability of the product.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the outer periphery of the forming rod 221 or bending rod 222 is provided with a positioning recess 2221 for positioning the rod 100, which can increase the contact area and friction between the rod and the forming rod or bending rod, so that the rod can be more stably fixed in the corresponding position during processing, reducing the shaking or sliding of the rod during bending and ensuring the bending quality.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a pushing rod 42 movably mounted on the mounting base plate 11 for pushing the rod 100 in the rod storage groove 341 into the placement positioning channel 21. The mounting base plate 11 is provided with a pushing drive component 41 for driving the pushing rod 42 to move accordingly. Under the control of the pushing drive component, the pushing rod automatically pushes the rod from the rod storage groove to the placement positioning channel without manual intervention, saving manual operation time, improving the efficiency of rod transfer, and enabling the rod to quickly enter the subsequent bending process, thereby improving the overall production efficiency of the equipment.

[0045] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the bowl basket positioning assembly 5 is located on the mounting base plate 11; the welding mechanism 6 includes a lower electrode 61 mounted on the mounting base plate 11 and an upper electrode 62 that can move relative to the lower electrode 61. The base 1 is equipped with a drive cylinder 63 for driving the upper electrode 62 to move relative to the base 1. The connection position between the bowl basket 300 and the hanger 200 is located between the upper electrode and the lower electrode. This bowl basket positioning assembly can ensure the accurate positioning of the bowl basket during the welding process, making the welding position between the hanger and the bowl basket accurate. At the same time, the relative movement design of the lower electrode and the upper electrode can accurately align the welding point, ensuring the accuracy of welding, improving welding quality, reducing problems such as incomplete welding and missed welding caused by positioning deviation, and ensuring the firmness of the connection between the hanger and the bowl basket.
