Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a transfer device for a stamped gear ring. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive anti-lock braking systems, stamped gear rings are core components. By cutting the magnetic lines of force of wheel speed sensors with their toothed shape, they provide the system with accurate wheel speed signals. The level of automation in their production process directly affects vehicle safety and manufacturing efficiency. Stamped gear rings are usually installed on wheel hubs and rotate with them. Therefore, multiple processes from stamping and forming to inspection and assembly need to be completed on the production line. The transfer device is a key link connecting these processes.

[0003] Currently, most companies in the industry use automated robotic arms as transfer devices for stamped gear rings. However, the operation process is complex and requires highly skilled operators to ensure normal operation. This not only increases personnel training costs and time but also limits the improvement of production efficiency. On the other hand, automated robotic arms are expensive to purchase and have a sophisticated and complex structure. Once a malfunction occurs, they must be repaired by a professional maintenance team. This not only results in long repair cycles but also high repair costs, which undoubtedly further increases the company's operating costs. At the same time, it can also lead to long-term downtime of the production line, seriously affecting production progress and overall efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer device for stamped gear rings, including an operating table, on which a material picking component and a stacking component are installed;

[0005] The material handling assembly includes a conveyor table, a movable plate connected to the movable end of the conveyor table, a rotating end mounted on the movable plate, a frame fixed to the shaft end of the rotating end, an upper cylinder mounted on the frame and an upper plate slidably connected to one side and fixed to the piston rod of the upper cylinder, a clamping cylinder mounted on the upper plate, and clamping plates fixed to both clamping ends of the clamping cylinder.

[0006] The palletizing assembly includes a movable adjustment end and a base plate. The movable adjustment end is equipped with a pair of frames on its opposite ends. A clamping cylinder is installed on the opposite side of the pair of frames. A clamping plate is fixed to both clamping ends of the clamping cylinder. A screw jack is installed on the base plate, and a guide rod is passed through it. A support plate connected to the guide rod is installed at the top of the screw of the screw jack.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveyor table includes a platform, a movable plate slidably connected to the top of the platform, and a first belt drive device installed on one side. The bottom of the movable plate is fixed to the belt of the first belt drive device, and the rotating end is installed on the movable plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating end includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on a movable plate, a second belt drive device for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is installed at the bottom of the movable plate, and the frame is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple sets of protrusions are fixed to the outer side of the rotating shaft, a push cylinder is installed on the moving plate, and a push block is slidably connected to the piston rod of the push cylinder. The push block is opposite to the protrusions, and a groove adapted to the protrusions is opened at the front end.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable adjustment end includes a push plate slidably connected to the operating table, and a push cylinder installed to push the push plate to move. Two sets of oppositely distributed side push cylinders are installed on the push plate, and the frame is slidably connected to the push plate and fixed to the piston rod of the corresponding side push cylinder.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The transfer device for this stamped gear ring utilizes a rotating end in the material handling assembly to rotate the frame, aligning the clamping plate with the corresponding side. The conveyor then moves the plate closer to the product or the palletizing assembly, achieving precise positioning for material handling or placement. An upper cylinder pushes the upper plate, which in turn raises and lowers the clamping cylinder, simplifying the multi-joint collaborative process of traditional robotic arms. In the palletizing assembly, a movable adjustment end adjusts the movement of the frame, enabling overall position adjustment and clamping of the palletizing assembly. A screw jack controls the pallet to descend layer by layer, ensuring uniform palletizing height. This solution achieves material handling, rotation, and palletizing functions through a standardized mechanical structure, eliminating the need for a complex control system. Operators require only basic training, reducing labor costs and significantly improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a stamped gear ring transfer device includes an operating table 1. A conveyor platform, a movable adjustment end, and a base plate 15 are mounted on the operating table 1. A rotating end is mounted on the conveyor platform, and a frame 8 is fixed to the shaft end of the rotating end. An upper-mounted cylinder 9 and an upper-mounted plate 10, which is slidably connected to the outer side and fixed to the piston rod of the upper-mounted cylinder 9, are mounted on the frame 8. A clamping cylinder 11 is mounted on the outer side of the upper-mounted plate 10, and both clamping ends of the clamping cylinder 11 are fixed with… For the clamping plate 12, the moving adjustment end is equipped with a pair of relatively distributed frames 21. A clamping cylinder 22 is installed on the opposite side of the frame 21. The clamping cylinder 22 is fixed with a clamping plate 23 at both clamping ends. The clamping plate 23 is E-shaped. A screw jack 16 is installed at the bottom of the base plate 15. The screw end of the screw jack 16 passes through the base plate 15 and a guide rod 17 also passes through it. The top of the screw end is fixed with a support plate 18 that is fixed to the top of the guide rod 17.

[0020] The above structure achieves precision, stability, flexibility, and cost optimization in the transfer and palletizing of stamped gear rings through the coordinated functions of its components: the rotating end drives the frame to adjust its angle to adapt to the gripping needs of different workstations; the upper cylinder and the clamping cylinder work together to complete the lifting and clamping action at a single workstation, and the rigid connection ensures stable clamping; the E-shaped clamping plate can improve the stability of clamping and reduce contact with the product, thereby reducing product damage; the moving adjustment end adjusts the clamping distance to accommodate multiple specifications of gear rings; the screw jack and guide rod work together to achieve fixed-height lifting and lowering of the pallet to ensure neat palletizing; in summary, it reduces procurement and maintenance costs, mechanical limits improve operational safety, and the material handling and palletizing cycle is compact and compatible with multiple specifications. While ensuring precision and stability, it optimizes costs and improves efficiency, meeting the high-performance automation needs of the automotive parts industry.

[0021] like Figure 2 The conveyor includes a platform 2 fixed on the operating table 1. A movable plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of the platform 2. The rotating end is installed on the movable plate 4. A first belt drive device 3 is installed on the inner side of the platform 2. The belt end of the first belt drive device 3 is fixed to the bottom of the platform 2, so that the movable plate can be moved left and right by the operation of the first belt drive device, thereby adjusting the clamping plate to be closer to the material pick-up point and the material discharge point.

[0022] The rotating end includes a rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the movable plate 4. The platform 8 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 5, and a second belt drive device 6 for driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate is installed at the bottom of the movable plate 4. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the second belt drive device, thus the direction of the clamping plate can be adjusted by moving the platform.

[0023] In addition, four sets of protrusions 7 are fixed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 5. A push block 14 opposite to the protrusions 7 is slidably connected to the top of the moving plate 4. A push cylinder 13 is also installed on the top of the moving plate 4, and the piston rod of the push cylinder 13 is fixed to the push block 14. The second belt drive device drives the rotating shaft to rotate, adjusting the angle of the platform to adapt to different work positions; the push cylinder drives the push block to lock the protrusions, realizing angle locking and preventing shaking during material handling.

[0024] like Figure 4 The movable adjustment end includes a push plate 19 slidably connected to the operating table 1, and a moving cylinder 20 installed on the operating table 1 to push the push plate 19 back and forth. Two sets of supporting frames 21 are slidably mounted on the push plate 19, and the two sets of supporting frames 21 are distributed opposite to each other. The top of the push plate 19 is also equipped with two side-push cylinders 24 that push the corresponding supporting frames 21 back and forth. The moving cylinder drives the push plate to move laterally, and the side-push cylinder pushes the supporting frames to move towards each other, dynamically adjusting the clamping distance, accommodating different sized toothed rings, and adjusting the overall position of the palletizing assembly so that the clamping plate clamps the product and moves it above the pallet.

[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0026] After the first belt drive of the conveyor table starts, it drives the moving plate to move laterally along the table, bringing the moving plate closer to the material to be picked up. At the same time, the second belt drive drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the table frame to adjust its angle so that the clamping cylinder is aligned with the gear ring. When the rotating shaft reaches the target angle, the push cylinder pushes the push block forward, and its slot locks the protrusion on the outside of the rotating shaft to achieve mechanical locking and prevent shaking during material picking. The piston rod of the upper cylinder extends, pushing the upper plate to slide upward along the table frame, so that the clamping cylinder is aligned with the material picking position until the product is between the clamping plates. After the clamping cylinder starts, the double clamping ends drive the clamping plates to clamp the gear ring. Then, the piston rod of the upper cylinder retracts, causing the gear ring to move out, completing the material picking process. The push cylinder moves the push plate laterally on the operating table, adjusting the palletizing assembly to the palletizing position corresponding to the picking assembly. At the same time, two sets of side push cylinders drive the opposing frame to move towards or away from each other, adjusting the spacing of the clamping cylinders to match the outer diameter of the gear ring. When the picking assembly moves the gear ring between the clamping plates of the palletizing assembly, the clamping cylinders are activated, and the E-shaped clamping plates at their double clamping ends stably grip the gear ring. Subsequently, the clamping cylinders of the picking assembly release, completing the transfer of the gear ring. When each layer of gear rings is placed on the pallet, the screw jack is activated, driving the pallet to move downward along the guide rod by a distance equal to the thickness of one gear ring, making room for the next layer to be placed. The vertical limit of the guide rod on the pallet ensures a smooth lifting process.

[0027] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
