Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of muffler housing production and processing technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism for muffler housing. Background Technology
[0002] The muffler is an essential device in the exhaust system of a car engine. It is required to not only discharge the exhaust gas after the engine combustion, but also reduce exhaust noise with its excellent structure. It is widely used in various fields. However, in the current process of feeding and processing elliptical mufflers, they are generally clamped and moved. During the clamping process, slippage may occur, which will damage the elliptical muffler. In addition, this structure is expensive and inconvenient for later maintenance.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patent (CN218664119U) discloses a feeding mechanism for the production and processing of elliptical mufflers. The mechanism involves starting a motor, causing the elliptical muffler to roll down from the feed plate into the guide frame. The motor then drives the first connecting rod to rotate via its drive shaft, which in turn drives the second connecting rod to rotate. Simultaneously, with the rotational limit of the third connecting rod, the mechanism drives the actuating shaft to push the workpiece, thereby continuously pushing the elliptical muffler within the guide frame towards the desired processing position.
[0004] However, in the aforementioned existing technology, the muffler housing needs to be placed on the guide frame continuously during the feeding process, resulting in poor feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding mechanism for muffler housings, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the muffler housings need to be continuously placed on the guide frame during the feeding process, resulting in poor feeding efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs an automatic feeding mechanism for muffler housings, comprising a placement box, a door, and a feeding assembly. The door is rotatably connected to the placement box and is located on one side of the placement box.
[0007] The feeding assembly includes a top plate, a push plate, a support frame, a feeding component, a limiting component, and a conveying component. The top plate is slidably connected to the placement box and is located inside the placement box. The push plate is disposed above the placement box. The support frame is fixedly connected to the placement box and is located on one side of the placement box. The feeding component is disposed inside the placement box. The limiting component is disposed above the placement box. The conveying component is disposed inside the support frame.
[0008] The feeding component includes a mounting plate, a threaded rod, a moving block, and an auxiliary unit. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the placement box and located on one side of the placement box. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate and located above the mounting plate. The moving block is threadedly connected to the threaded rod and wraps around the threaded rod. The moving block is fixedly connected to the top plate. The auxiliary unit is located inside the placement box.
[0009] The auxiliary unit includes a guide rod and a limiting block. The guide rod is fixedly connected to the placement box and located inside the placement box. The top plate is slidably connected to the guide rod. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the guide rod and located above the guide rod.
[0010] The limiting component includes a fixed plate, a telescopic rod, a spring, and a limiting plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the placement box and is located above the placement box. The telescopic rod is detachably connected to the fixed plate and is located inside the fixed plate. The spring is detachably connected to the fixed plate and wraps around the telescopic rod. The limiting plate is detachably connected to the telescopic rod and is located at the end of the telescopic rod away from the fixed plate. The spring is also detachably connected to the limiting plate.
[0011] The conveying component includes a drive roller, an auxiliary roller, and a conveyor belt. The drive roller is rotatably connected to the support frame and located inside the support frame. The auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the support frame and located inside the support frame. The conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the drive roller and wraps around the drive roller and the auxiliary roller. The auxiliary roller is also rotatably connected to the conveyor belt.
[0012] This utility model discloses an automatic feeding mechanism for muffler housings. The door is opened, and muffler housings are stacked in the placement box. When feeding is required, a feeding motor is started, driving the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the moving block to move upward. With the assistance of the guide rod, the moving block drives the top plate to move upward, lifting the muffler housings above it. This causes the limiting plate to clamp and limit the muffler housings. Then, a control cylinder pushes out the push plate, which pushes the muffler housings above the conveyor belt. The moving motor is then started, driving the conveyor belt to rotate, thus conveying the muffler housings to the next process, thereby increasing feeding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The feeding assembly includes a top plate 103, a push plate 104, a support frame 105, a feeding component, a limiting component, and a conveying component. The top plate 103 is slidably connected to the placement box 101 and is located inside the placement box 101. The push plate 104 is disposed above the placement box 101. The support frame 105 is fixedly connected to the placement box 101 and is located on one side of the placement box 101. The feeding component is disposed inside the placement box 101. The limiting component is disposed above the placement box 101. The conveying component is disposed inside the support frame 105.
[0023] In this embodiment, the door 102 is opened to place the muffler housing in the placement box 101. When feeding is required, the feeding motor 118 is started to drive the threaded rod 107 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 107 can drive the moving block 108 to move upward. With the auxiliary limit of the guide rod 109, the moving block 108 can drive the top plate 103 to move upward and lift the muffler housing above it, so that the limiting plate 114 clamps and limits the muffler housing. Then, the cylinder 119 is controlled to push the push plate 104 out. The push plate 104 pushes the muffler housing above the conveyor belt 117. The moving motor 120 is started to drive the conveyor belt 117 to rotate, so that the muffler housing can be conveyed to the next process, thereby increasing the feeding efficiency.
[0024] Furthermore, the feeding component includes a mounting plate 106, a threaded rod 107, a moving block 108, and an auxiliary unit. The mounting plate 106 is fixedly connected to the placement box 101 and is located on one side of the placement box 101.

The conveyor belt 117 is rotatably connected to the drive roller 115 and wraps around the drive roller 115 and the auxiliary roller 116. The auxiliary roller 116 is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 117.
[0031] In this embodiment, starting the mobile motor 120 can drive the drive roller 115 to rotate. With the assistance of the auxiliary roller 116, the rotation of the drive roller 115 can drive the conveyor belt 117 to rotate. The rotation of the conveyor belt 117 can move the muffler housing pushed above the conveyor belt 117 to the next process.
