Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing technology, specifically to a high-efficiency automatic feeding device for a brake pad powder spraying line. Background Technology

[0002] Whether brake pads need to be powder-coated on one side during the production process depends on the specific design requirements, material characteristics, and production process. Brake pad backing plates are usually made of metal (such as steel or aluminum alloy). Powder coating (such as epoxy resin powder) can form a dense coating to prevent metal oxidation or corrosion. Some high-end brake pads may have graphite powder, copper powder, or other materials sprayed onto the friction layer surface to reduce noise or improve the stability of the friction coefficient.

[0003] However, most powder coating lines still rely on manual feeding during production. The brake pads are manually placed on the conveyor belt of the powder coating line. On the one hand, this consumes a lot of human resources, and on the other hand, the manual placement may not be standard, affecting the coating effect and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a housing 1, a push handle 2 connected to the surface of the housing 1, a mounting base 3 connected to the top of the housing 1, a rotating platform 4 rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting base 3, multiple feeding mechanisms 6 connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 4, multiple material racks 7 and a loading platform 8 connected to the top of the rotating platform 4, a rotary cylinder 9 connected to the top of the inner wall of the loading platform 8, the output end of the rotary cylinder 9 passing through the loading platform 8 and connected to an extension platform 10, an angle sensor 11 connected to the inner wall of the extension platform 10, a horizontal plate 12 connected to the top of the extension platform 10, and a small vacuum pump 13 connected to one side of the bottom of the horizontal plate 12. The installation position of the small vacuum pump 13 indicates that it also plays a certain counterweight role in the device, ensuring the movement of the loading mechanism 15 on the other side. The device is designed to maintain overall balance. An extension slide 141 is connected to the other side. A feeding mechanism 15 is connected to one side of the extension slide 141. An infrared distance sensor 16 is connected to the inner side of one end of the extension slide 141. A controller 81 is connected to one side of the feeding platform 8. A self-locking universal wheel 19 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1. Brake pads 111 are slidably arranged between each material rack 7. As can be seen from the attached drawings, the sides of the material racks 7 that are close to each other have similar fitting protrusions on both sides of the brake pads 111. The shape of these protrusions is not fixed and can be changed according to the different shapes of the sides of the brake pads 111. This facilitates the limiting and connection of the brake pads 111. At the same time, the orientation can be adjusted to be uniform when loading the brake pads 111 between the material racks 7 according to the different powder spraying areas.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the middle section, multiple sets of ball bearings 5 ​​are connected between the mounting base 3 and the rotating table 4. When the mounting base 3 is rotated, the ball bearings 5 ​​can greatly reduce the friction between it and the rotating table 4, thereby changing the position between each material rack 7, making it easier to place the brake pad 111 between the material racks 7.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the attached diagram, a swing arm 17 is rotatably mounted on one side of the rotating table 4, and a limit bracket 18 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the swing arm 17. The limit bracket 18 is engaged with the push handle 2. When rotation between the mounting base 3 and the rotating table 4 is not required, such as during material loading, the limit bracket 18 is fastened to the surface of the push handle 2 by the swing arm 17. As can be seen from the attached diagram, the middle position of the limit bracket 18 has an engagement groove corresponding to the inner connecting rod of the push handle 2, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating table 4 by the swing arm 17 and ensuring stable use.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding cylinder 61 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating table 4. The output end of the feeding cylinder 61 passes through the rotating table 4 and is connected to a push plate 62. A gravity sensor 63 is connected to the top of the push plate 62, and a guide rod 64 is connected to the bottom. The guide rod 64 is slidably connected to the rotating table 4. The feeding cylinder 61 extends to push the push plate 62 upward, thereby pushing the stacked brake pads 111 upward, so that the feeding mechanism 15 above can pick them up. During the picking process, the gravity sensor 63 will detect in real time whether the brake pads 111 above the push plate 62 are lacking material. Once no weight is detected, it indicates that the brake pads 111 on the push plate 62 have been used up, and the feeding mechanism 15 is adjusted to grab the brake pads 111 between another set of material racks 7.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 15 includes a movable stage 151 slidably disposed on one side of the extension slide 141. A fixed frame is connected to the top of the horizontal plate 12, and a push cylinder 14 is connected to one side of the fixed frame. The output end of the push cylinder 14 is connected to the movable stage 151. A discharge cylinder 152 is connected to the top of the movable stage 151. The output end of the discharge cylinder 152 passes through the movable stage 151 and is connected to a connecting plate 153. A positioning vision camera 154 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 153. Suction cups 155 are connected to both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 153 at the positioning vision camera 154. The discharge cylinder 152 pushes the connecting plate 153 to move downward, and the brake pad 111 is adsorbed and gripped by the suction cups 155. At the same time as gripping, the positioning vision camera 154 can be used to detect the gripping position. By using the effect of visual detection, the position accuracy of gripping and discharging can be better guaranteed. The position of the feeding mechanism 15 is adjusted by the operation of the push cylinder 14, thereby completing the feeding.

[0025] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When loading brake pads 111 between the material racks 7, the rotating table 4 is used to switch between different material racks 7 for loading. The operator does not move. After loading, the device is pushed to the loading position of the powder spraying production line by pushing the handle 2. Then, the limiting bracket 18 is rotated to position the rotating table 4. The cylinder 14 is pushed to drive the loading mechanism 15 to grab and release the material. After the brake pads 111 between a set of material racks 7 are loaded, the rotating cylinder 9 will drive the horizontal plate 12 to rotate through the extension table 10, thereby changing the grabbing position. The angle sensor 11 can detect whether the rotation angle is in place. After the cylinder 14 pushes the loading mechanism 15 to the loading position of the powder spraying line, the unloading cylinder 152 extends. At the same time, the small vacuum pump 13 stops working, so that the suction cup 155 loses its suction force and places the brake pads 111 on the powder spraying production line.
