Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mold technology, and in particular to a feeding device for a belt guide rail plug support. Background Technology
[0002] Belt guide plugs are important components in automotive engine systems and air conditioning compression systems. Their core function is to provide a stable guiding and support structure for the drive belt, ensuring that the belt maintains precise positioning during high-speed operation and avoiding problems such as slippage, misalignment, or accelerated wear.
[0003] In the existing technology, when processing the belt guide rail plug support, it is necessary to use a continuous stamping device to cut and bend a raw material plate multiple times until the raw material plate is stamped into the finished product of the belt guide rail plug support.
[0004] However, after the belt guide plug support is stamped, it is usually necessary to use a robot to clamp it when the upper and lower dies separate. However, the response speed of the robot's clamping action is limited by the control system and mechanical structure. When the stamping cycle is fast, the phenomenon of untimely clamping is prone to occur, causing the stamped support to remain in the die, affecting subsequent stamping processes. This results in a reduction in the production efficiency of the belt guide plug support, which is a significant shortcoming. Utility Model Content
[0005] To improve the production efficiency of belt guide rail plug supports, this application provides a feeding device for belt guide rail plug supports.
[0006] This application provides a feeding device for a belt guide rail plug support component. The technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0007] A feeding device for a belt guide rail plug support includes a base, a lower die on the base, an upper die slidably connected to the lower die, a support block on the lower die, and a cutter and a clamping member on the upper die. The cutter is used to cut the workpiece, and the clamping member is used to press the workpiece onto the support block. The support block and the lower die have feeding holes. A feeding frame is provided at the end of the lower die near the workpiece outlet. The ends of the feeding frame and the support block are inclined from top to bottom along the direction near the outlet.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lower mold and the upper mold are closed, the upper mold drives the clamping component to clamp the raw material. The cutting blade separates the stamped finished product from the raw material plate. Then the upper mold and the lower mold separate, and the force of the clamping component on the workpiece disappears. Under the guidance of the support block and the inclined surface of the feeding frame, the workpiece rolls along the support block and the feeding frame to the discharge port under its own gravity. In this way, the automatic continuous feeding of the guide rail plug support component in the mold is realized. The whole process does not require the participation of a robot, which improves the production efficiency of the belt guide rail plug support.
[0009] Optionally, the surface of the feeding frame is provided with multiple anti-collision protrusions.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-collision protrusion can effectively buffer the collision impact force between the workpiece and the feeding frame when the workpiece slides down the feeding frame, reduce the possibility of scratches and dents on the workpiece surface caused by the collision, and thus ensure the production quality of the belt guide rail plug support.
[0011] Optionally, a detection probe is provided on the outer surface of the feeding frame near the discharge port, and the detection end of the detection probe extends into the interior of the feeding frame.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection probe can detect the feeding status of the workpiece in the feeding frame in real time. When the workpiece does not fall as expected or there are abnormalities such as jamming, the detection probe can promptly feed the signal back to the control system, which facilitates timely intervention by the operator, ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding process, thereby further improving production efficiency.
[0013] Optionally, limit strips are provided on both opposite sides of the feeding frame, and the limit strips are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the support block.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting strip can form a lateral constraint on the sliding workpiece, reduce the possibility of the workpiece shifting to both sides during the discharge process, which may lead to jamming or disordered discharge, thereby ensuring that the workpiece slides smoothly to the discharge port.
[0015] Optionally, the base is provided with a support plate, the support plate has a sliding groove, a drive plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove, one end of the unloading frame extends to the support and is hinged to the drive plate, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lower mold through a hinge seat. The support plate is provided with a drive assembly, the drive assembly drives the drive plate to reciprocate along the sliding groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when a jamming phenomenon occurs, the drive assembly drives the drive plate to reciprocate along the sliding groove. During the reciprocating motion of the drive plate, it causes the drive plate to swing back and forth around the hinge seat, thereby giving the jammed workpiece a continuous vibration force. This vibration force can effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the workpiece and the inner wall of the feeding frame or the anti-collision protrusion, prompting the workpiece to return to the sliding state and move smoothly along the feeding frame to the discharge port. This setting enables timely handling of the jamming problem without manual intervention, ensuring the continuity of production.
[0017] Optionally, the support plate has a drive groove communicating with the sliding groove. The drive assembly includes an incomplete gear rotatably connected in the drive groove. The toothed end of the incomplete gear meshes with a rack plate, which is disposed on the drive plate. A return spring is disposed in the sliding groove. The spring force of the return spring drives the rack plate to abut against the bottom wall of the drive groove. When the incomplete gear drives the rack plate to move, the return spring is in a compressed state. A motor that drives the incomplete gear to rotate is disposed in the support plate. The detection probe is electrically connected to the motor through a control system.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the detection probe detects a jamming phenomenon, it drives the motor to rotate. When the motor drives the incomplete gear to rotate until its toothed end meshes with the rack plate, the rack plate, driven by the incomplete gear, overcomes the elastic force of the return spring and moves upward. The drive plate moves upward synchronously and pushes the unloading frame to rotate in the forward direction around the hinge seat. When the toothed end of the incomplete gear disengages from the rack plate, the return spring releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the rack plate and drive plate to quickly return to their original positions, causing the unloading frame to rotate in the reverse direction. Through the synergistic effect of the incomplete gear and the return spring, the periodic reciprocating oscillation of the unloading frame is achieved. During the oscillation of the unloading frame, a vibration force is applied to the workpiece, effectively overcoming the static friction between the workpiece and the inner wall of the unloading frame, allowing the jammed workpiece to promptly return to its sliding state and successfully complete the unloading process.
[0019] Optionally, a guide groove is provided on the inner sidewall of the sliding groove, and a guide block is provided on the drive plate that slides in cooperation with the guide groove.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove and guide block are set to provide precise guidance for the movement of the drive plate in the sliding groove, effectively reducing the possibility of the drive plate deviating during the sliding process, ensuring that the drive plate moves smoothly back and forth in a straight line, and thus making the movement trajectory more stable when the drive plate drives the unloading frame to swing.
[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. In this embodiment of the application, by setting a cutter, a blanking frame and a support block, when the lower mold and the lower mold are closed, the upper mold drives the clamping component to clamp the raw material, and the cutter separates the stamped finished product from the raw material plate. Then the upper mold and the lower mold separate, the force of the clamping component on the workpiece disappears, and under the guidance of the inclined surface of the support block and the blanking frame, the workpiece rolls along the support block and the blanking frame to the discharge port under its own gravity. In this way, the automatic continuous feeding of the guide rail plug support component in the mold is realized. The whole process does not require the participation of a robot arm, which improves the production efficiency of the belt guide rail plug support.
[0023] 2. In this embodiment, by setting up a drive component, when a jamming phenomenon occurs, the drive component drives the drive plate to reciprocate along the sliding groove. During the reciprocating motion of the drive plate, it causes the drive plate to swing back and forth around the hinge seat, thereby giving the jammed workpiece a continuous vibration force. This vibration force can effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the workpiece and the inner wall of the feeding frame or the anti-collision protrusion, prompting the workpiece to return to the sliding state and move smoothly along the feeding frame to the discharge port. This setting enables timely handling of the jamming problem without manual intervention, ensuring the continuity of production. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0030] This application discloses a feeding device for a belt guide rail plug support.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 A feeding device for a belt guide rail plug support includes a base 1, a lower mold 2 mounted on the base 1, an upper mold 3 slidably connected to the lower mold 2 via a guide post, a support block 21 fixedly connected to the lower mold 2, a cutter 31 and a clamping member 32 mounted on the upper mold 3, the cutter 31 being used to cut the workpiece, and a discharge hole 22 for waste material to pass through on the lower mold 2 and the support block 21.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The lower mold 2 is provided with a feeding frame 4 at the end near the workpiece discharge port. The ends of the feeding frame 4 and the support block 21 are inclined from top to bottom along the direction near the discharge port. Limiting strips 41 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the feeding frame 4. The length of the limiting strips 41 is parallel to the movement direction of the workpiece. The two limiting strips 41 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the support block 21.
[0033] When the lower mold 2 and the lower die 2 are closed, the upper mold 3 drives the clamping component 32 to clamp the raw material. The cutting blade 31 separates the stamped finished product from the raw material plate. Then the upper mold 3 separates from the lower mold 2, and the force exerted by the clamping component 32 on the workpiece disappears. Under the guidance of the support block 21 and the inclined surface of the feeding frame 4, the workpiece rolls along the inclined surface of the support block 21 into the feeding frame 4 under its own gravity. Under the restriction of the two limit strips 41, the workpiece slides smoothly along the feeding frame 4 to the discharge port. In this way, the automatic continuous feeding of the guide rail plug support component in the mold is realized. The whole process does not require the participation of a robot, which improves the production efficiency of the belt guide rail plug support.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Multiple anti-collision protrusions 42 are fixedly installed on the surface of the feeding frame 4. In this embodiment, the anti-collision protrusions 42 are made of rubber material. Multiple anti-collision protrusions 42 are evenly arranged in an array on the surface of the feeding frame 4. The anti-collision protrusions 42 can effectively buffer the collision impact between the workpiece and the feeding frame 4, and reduce the possibility of scratches, dents and other damage to the surface of the workpiece caused by the collision.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A detection probe 5 is installed on the outer surface of the unloading frame 4 near the discharge port. The detection probe 5 is used to detect the unloading status of the workpiece in the unloading frame 4 in real time. The detection end of the detection probe 5 extends through the limiting strip 41 into the inside of the unloading frame 4.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support plate 6 is installed on the outer surface of the base 1. A sliding groove 61 is provided in the support plate 6. The sliding groove 61 is vertically arranged. A drive plate 7 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 61. One end of the feeding frame 4 extends to the support plate 6 and is hinged to the drive plate 7. The other end is rotatably connected to the lower mold 2 through the hinge seat.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The bearing plate 6 has a drive groove 8 that communicates with the sliding groove 61. The drive groove 8 is equipped with a drive assembly 9. Specifically, the drive assembly 9 includes an incomplete gear 91 that is rotatably connected in the drive groove 8. The toothed end of the incomplete gear 91 is meshed with a rack plate 92. The rack plate 92 is slidably connected inside the drive groove 8. The sliding groove 61 is equipped with a plurality of return springs 93. One end of the return spring 93 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding groove 61 near the unloading frame 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drive plate 7. The elastic force of the return spring 93 drives the rack plate 92 on the drive plate 7 to abut against the bottom wall of the drive groove 8.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A motor (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the bearing plate 6. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the incomplete gear 91. The detection probe 5 is electrically connected to the motor through the control system. A guide groove 611 is opened on the inner side wall opposite to the sliding groove 61. Guide blocks 71 that slide in cooperation with the guide groove 611 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the drive plate 7.
[0039] When the detection probe 5 detects a jamming phenomenon, it drives the motor to rotate. When the motor drives the incomplete gear 91 to rotate until its toothed end meshes with the rack plate 92, the rack plate 92 moves upward under the action of the incomplete gear 91, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 93. The drive plate 7 moves upward synchronously and pushes the unloading frame 4 to rotate in the forward direction around the hinge seat. When the toothed end of the incomplete gear 91 disengages from the rack plate 92, the return spring 93 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the rack plate 92 and the drive plate 7 to quickly reset, causing the unloading frame 4 to rotate in the reverse direction. This achieves the periodic reciprocating oscillation of the unloading frame 4, thereby providing continuous vibration force to the jammed workpiece. This vibration force can effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the workpiece and the inner wall of the unloading frame 4 or the anti-collision protrusion 42, prompting the workpiece to return to the sliding state and move smoothly along the unloading frame 4 to the discharge port. This setup enables timely handling of jamming problems without manual intervention, ensuring the continuity of production.
[0040] The implementation principle of the feeding device for belt guide rail plug support in this application embodiment is as follows: When the lower mold 2 and the lower die 2 are closed, the upper mold 3 drives the clamping member 32 to clamp the raw material. The cutter 31 separates the stamped finished product from the raw material plate. Then the upper mold 3 separates from the lower mold 2, and the force of the clamping member 32 on the workpiece disappears. Under the guidance of the support block 21 and the inclined surface of the feeding frame 4, the workpiece rolls along the inclined surface of the support block 21 into the feeding frame 4 under its own gravity. Under the restriction of the two limit strips 41, the workpiece slides smoothly along the feeding frame 4 to the discharge port. In this way, the automatic continuous feeding of the guide rail plug support in the mold is realized. The whole process does not require the participation of a robot, which improves the production efficiency of belt guide rail plug support.
[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
