AI Technical Summary
In the traditional brake caliper body processing, frequent machine stops are required at a single station to change materials, resulting in poor processing continuity. This is especially true in mass production where it is difficult to meet cycle time requirements. Furthermore, the material changing channel is separated from the processing area, requiring manual intervention, which increases operational complexity and safety hazards.
The device employs a dual-station alternating loading and unloading system with a brake clamp. By symmetrically arranging the loading and changing channels and combining them with a switching mechanism, it achieves alternating loading of two sets of unloading seats. The loading motor and the switching motor drive the loading rod and the switching rod, enabling parallel operation of processing and material changing, reducing downtime and minimizing the risk of misoperation.
This improved the continuity of brake caliper machining, reduced downtime, minimized manual intervention, reduced safety hazards, and met the cycle time requirements of mass production.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example: Reference Figure 1-6 The illustrated brake clamp body dual-station alternating loading and unloading device includes a processing base 1, a cutting assembly 13, a fixing mechanism, a loading mechanism, and a switching mechanism. A waste material hole 100 is provided in the center of the top surface of the processing base 1, and loading channels 101 are provided on both the left and right sides of the waste material hole 100. A material exchange channel 102 is provided on the inner wall of the loading channel 101, and the material exchange channels 102 are symmetrically arranged front and back. A clamping groove 105 is provided parallel to one side of the material exchange channel 102. Two sets of symmetrical cutting assemblies are provided between the two sets of clamping grooves 105. 13. Cutting components 13 are arranged in pairs, with two sets arranged symmetrically front and back. A fixing mechanism for fixing the clamp body is installed in the clamping groove 105. After the fixing mechanism fixes the clamp body, the cutting blade on the cutting component 13 cuts the protrusion on the outer wall of the clamp body. The cut waste falls into the waste hole 100. The feeding mechanism is set in the feeding channel 101. With the cooperation of the switching mechanism set on the side, the material is sent to the fixing mechanism. After the processing is completed, it is pulled back and switched to another set of unprocessed clamp bodies.
[0025] As one embodiment of this invention, the fixing mechanism is divided into two parts: a fixed clamp 12 and a movable clamp 11, in order to cooperate with the feeding mechanism for continuous operation. The fixed clamp 12 and the movable clamp 11 are in pairs. The fixed clamp 12 is located on the top surface of the processing base 1. The movable clamp 11 is spaced by an electric push cylinder 10 located in the clamping groove 105. After the clamp body is moved to the fixed clamp 12 by the feeding mechanism, the electric push cylinder 10 is activated to drive the movable clamp 11 to fix the clamp body.
[0026] As one implementation method in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism consists of two sets of feeding channels 101 sharing a set of feeding rods 3 (the feeding rods 3 are rotatably connected within the two sets of feeding channels 101, and the feeding rods 3 pass through the waste hole 100 in the middle). The feeding rods 3 are provided with two threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation (the threaded sections are located within the range of the feeding channels 101). Feeding blocks 4 are threadedly connected to the feeding rods 3. Under the limitation of the feeding channels 101, and driven by the feeding motor 2 in the motor slot 104, the feeding rods 3 are controlled to rotate, thereby driving the two sets of feeding blocks 4 to move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the unloading seat 5 by the feeding blocks 4.
[0027] As one embodiment of this invention, in order to improve the stability of the feeding seat 5 on the feeding block 4, a feeding slide 40 is provided on the top surface of the feeding block 4, and a limiting hole 41 is provided on the inner wall of the feeding slide 40. A limiting pin 43 with a hemispherical end is slidably connected in the limiting hole 41, and the limiting pin 43 is limited in the limiting hole 41 by a spring 42 to prevent the limiting pin 43 from falling off. A limiting groove 52 adapted to the limiting pin 43 is provided on the outer wall of the slide bar 51. With the above structure, after the feeding seat 5 is moved from the material changing slide 103 to the feeding block 4 by the switching mechanism, the position of the feeding seat 5 can be fixed.
[0028] As one embodiment of this invention, the switching mechanism is as follows: A mounting plate 6 is provided on the top surface of the processing base 1. Two mounting plates 6 are provided as a group. A switching rod 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 6. Two sets of switching components 9 are threadedly connected to the switching rod 7. An insertion block is provided on the outer wall of the switching component 9. An insertion hole 50 that matches the insertion block is provided on the feeding base 5. Therefore, when the feeding mechanism brings the feeding base 5 back, the feeding base 5 is moved away from the feeding block 4 through the cooperation of the switching component 9. At the same time, another set of feeding base 5 is moved to the feeding block 4 to complete the switching. During the cutting process, the switching rod 7 is driven by the switching motor 8.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The clamp body is placed in the groove of the feeding seat 5, and then the feeding motor 2 in the motor groove 104 is started. The feeding motor 2 drives the feeding rod 3 in the feeding channel 101. With the cooperation of two sections of oppositely spiraling threads, the feeding block 4 moves within the feeding channel 101. The feeding block 4, through the feeding slide 40 on the top surface and the slide bar 51, moves the clamp body towards the fixing mechanism. When the clamp body contacts the two sets of fixing clamps 12, the electric push cylinder 10 in the clamping groove 105 is activated. The electric push cylinder 10 drives the moving clamp 11 to slide on the processing seat 1, and cooperates with the fixing clamps 12 to fix the clamp body. After fixing, the cutting assembly 13 is activated. The cutting blade of the cutting assembly 13 moves outward to cut off the riser on the outer wall of the clamp body. After completion, the electric... The telescopic end of the push cylinder 10 retracts, and the moving clamp 11 leaves, releasing the limit on the clamp body. Then, the feeding motor 2 reverses, causing the feeding block 4 to return to its original position. During the return process, the insertion hole 50 on the unloading seat 5 engages with the plug on the switching component 9. Then, the switching motor 8 is started, driving the switching rod 7 on the mounting plate 6 to rotate. The rotating switching rod 7 drives the switching component 9 to move, causing the unloading seat 5 on the feeding block 4 to move outward. The slide bar 51 leaves the feeding slide 40 (at this time, the force of the unloading seat 5 moving is greater than the pushing force of the spring 42, causing the end of the limiting pin 43 to separate from the limiting groove 52, releasing the limit). After the clamp body is placed on the unloading seat 5 in the material changing channel 102, it moves synchronously from the material changing slide 103 to the feeding slide 40. Then, the feeding motor 2 is started again to perform the processing operation.
