Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine tripod processing technology, specifically to an outlet positioning frame for a tripod feeding conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] Front-loading washing machines are widely used in the washing machine industry. To ensure stable operation during washing and spin-drying, a tripod is used to fix the inner tub to the rotating shaft. Currently, tripods are usually produced using die casting. The tripods produced by the die-casting machine are conveyed by a feeding conveyor line and then transferred to designated workstations (forming station, grinding station, and tapping station) by loading and unloading robots. Existing feeding conveyor lines are mostly parallel, while the washing machine tripod is die-cast as a single piece with the central mounting shaft and three legs, resulting in an irregular shape. This causes the gripping position of the loading and unloading robots to be unstable, affecting the smooth progress of subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an outlet positioning frame for a tripod loading and conveying line, so as to ensure that the support legs of each tripod at the outlet of the conveying line are in the same position, ensuring that the gripping position of the loading and unloading robot is fixed, and avoiding processing errors caused by the inconsistent support legs of subsequent tripods.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] An outlet positioning frame for a tripod feeding conveyor line is installed at the horizontal outlet of a parallel belt conveyor line. It includes a frame body, a ramp, a front limiting stop, and side limiting stops. The top of the frame body has a ramp, the top of which is close to and lower than the outlet of the parallel belt conveyor line. The bottom of the ramp has a front limiting stop. A tripod shaft guide channel is located at the center of the top of the ramp. The tripod shaft guide channel is symmetrically V-shaped, with its width gradually decreasing from the high end to the low end. Side limiting stops are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the tripod shaft guide channel. The two side limiting stops form a V-shaped retaining edge for guiding and limiting the tripod legs. The front ends of the two side limiting stops are close to each other.

[0006] Preferably, the V-shaped bottom of the tripod shaft guide channel is set to an arc shape corresponding to the tripod mounting shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the landslide forms an angle of 10-30° with the horizontal plane.

[0008] Preferably, the landslide includes a middle beam, side beams and rollers, with two side beams arranged on the left and right sides of the middle beam, and rollers arranged between the side beams and the middle beam, with multiple rollers evenly spaced along the inclination direction of the landslide.

[0009] Preferably, the high end of the side limiting stop is fixed to the side beam, the low end is fixed to the middle beam, and the tripod shaft guide channel is set on the middle beam.

[0010] Preferably, the two ends of the roller shaft are rotatably mounted on the intermediate beam or side beam via bearings.

[0011] Preferably, there is a height difference of 5-15cm between the top of the landslide and the discharge port of the parallel belt conveyor.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The tripod produced by the die-casting machine is picked up by the loading and unloading robot and placed on a parallel belt conveyor line, ensuring that the mounting shaft of the tripod faces downwards. When the tripod reaches the discharge port, it falls to the slide under gravity. The mounting shaft of the tripod enters the tripod shaft guide channel and slides downwards. At the same time, under the limiting action of the two side limit bars, the positions of the three legs of the tripod are adjusted. One of the tripod legs is limited on both sides between the front ends of the two side limit bars, and the front end of the leg is limited by the front limit bar. The other two legs are in contact with the side limit bars respectively, so that the positions of the legs of each tripod are consistent. This ensures that the gripping position of the loading and unloading robot is fixed and avoids processing errors caused by inconsistent leg positions of the tripods in the future.

[0020] See Figure 1-4This utility model relates to an outlet positioning frame for a tripod-mounted material conveyor line. It is installed at the horizontal outlet of a parallel belt conveyor line 1 and includes a frame body 2, a ramp 3, a front limiting stop 4, and a side limiting stop 5. The top of the frame body 2 is provided with the ramp 3, the top of which is close to and lower than the outlet of the parallel belt conveyor line 1. The bottom of the ramp 3 is provided with the front limiting stop 4. A tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 is provided at the center of the top of the ramp 3, and the tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 is symmetrical. The V-shape of the tripod 6 gradually decreases in width from the high end to the low end. The mounting shaft 6.1 of the tripod 6 slides down along the tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 under gravity to the bottom of the V-shape of the tripod shaft guide channel. The bottom of the V-shape of the tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 is set to be arc-shaped corresponding to the mounting shaft of the tripod. Side limiting strips 5 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the tripod shaft guide channel 3.1. The two side limiting strips 5 form a V-shaped edge for guiding and limiting the legs 6.2 of the tripod 6. The front ends of the two side limiting strips 5 are close to each other.

[0021] The landslide 3 forms an angle of 10-30° with the horizontal plane, with a relatively gentle slope, which reduces the sliding speed of the tripod while ensuring its smooth sliding.

[0022] To reduce contact between the tripod 6 and the landslide 3 and to minimize wear on the tripod, the landslide 3 is designed with a hollow structure. The landslide 3 includes a central beam 3.2, side beams 3.3, and rollers 3.4. Two side beams 3.3 are positioned on the left and right sides of the central beam 3.2, and rollers 3.4 are positioned between the side beams 3.3 and the central beam 3.2. Multiple rollers 3.4 are evenly spaced along the inclination direction of the landslide 3. The two ends of each roller 3.4 are rotatably mounted on either the central beam 3.2 or the side beams 3.3 via bearings.

[0023] The high end of the side limiting stop 5 is fixed on the side beam 3.3, and the low end is fixed on the middle beam 3.2. The tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 is set on the middle beam 3.2.

[0024] The tripod produced by the die-casting machine is picked up by the loading and unloading robot and placed onto the parallel belt conveyor line 1, ensuring that the mounting shaft 6.1 of the tripod 6 faces downward (the end of the mounting shaft 6.1 of the tripod 6 contacts the belt). When the tripod 6 reaches the discharge port, there is a height difference of 5-15cm between the top of the slide 3 and the discharge port. The tripod 6 falls onto the slide due to gravity, and the mounting shaft 6.1 of the tripod 6 enters the tripod shaft guide channel 3.1 and moves downward along the slide. Under the limiting action of the two side limit bars 5, the positions of the three legs of the tripod 6 are adjusted. One of the tripod legs is limited on both sides between the front ends of the two side limit bars 5, and the front end of this leg is limited by the front limit bar 4. The other two legs are in contact with the side limit bars 5 respectively, so that the positions of the legs of each tripod are consistent, ensuring that the gripping position of the loading and unloading robot is fixed and avoiding processing errors caused by inconsistent leg positions of the tripods in the future.

[0025] In addition to the above embodiments, this utility model also includes other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent substitution should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
