Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piston side hole processing technology, and in particular to a piston side hole processing feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The piston is a reciprocating component in the cylinder block of a car engine. The basic structure of the piston can be divided into the top, head, and skirt. The piston top is the main part that makes up the combustion chamber, and its shape is related to the type of combustion chamber selected. Gasoline engines mostly use flat-top pistons, which have the advantage of a small heat absorption area. Diesel engine piston tops often have various kinds of pits, and their specific shape, position, and size must be adapted to the requirements of mixture formation and combustion in diesel engines.

[0003] In the current technology for piston side hole machining, the efficiency and accuracy of the feeding process have a critical impact on the overall machining quality and production efficiency. In the current technology, piston feeding is mostly done manually or with simple mechanical devices. Manual feeding is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to positioning deviations, making it difficult to guarantee machining accuracy. Simple mechanical devices often lack precise positioning and automatic adjustment functions, cannot adapt to the feeding requirements of pistons of different specifications, have poor operational stability, are prone to vibration that affects machining accuracy, and are also difficult to integrate efficiently with automated machining equipment, thus limiting the automation level and production efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a piston side hole processing feeding mechanism, which solves the problems of low piston feeding efficiency, inaccurate positioning, and poor adaptability in the prior art mentioned in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a piston side hole processing and feeding mechanism, comprising side plates, a support plate fixedly disposed above the side plates, a frame fixedly disposed above the support plate, a controller fixedly disposed in front of the side plates, a conveyor belt fixedly disposed on the inner sides of the two side plates, a guide plate fixedly disposed on the inner sides of the two side plates, an electric slide rail fixedly disposed at the wide end of the inner side of the frame, a movable slide rod fixedly disposed on the inner side of the electric slide rail, a U-shaped electric slider fixedly disposed on the outer side of the movable slide rod, a camera fixedly disposed below the U-shaped electric slider, and a robotic arm fixedly disposed below the U-shaped electric slider.

[0006] A support rod is fixedly installed below the side plate, an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed below the support rod, and a connecting reinforcing rod is fixedly installed between the two support rods.

[0007] The conveyor belt has anti-slip textures on its surface, the inner wall of the guide plate is a smooth arc surface, and the guide plate is arranged parallel to the conveyor belt with an adjustable distance between them.

[0008] The electric slide rails are provided at equal intervals along the width of the frame, and the movable slide rods are slidably connected to the electric slide rails via ball bearings.

[0009] The camera and the robotic arm are staggered along the length of the convex-shaped electric slider, and the camera's shooting angle covers the feeding area of ​​the conveyor belt.

[0010] The support plate is fixedly connected to the side plate and the frame by bolts, and shock-absorbing pads are provided at the connection points.

[0011] The controller is electrically connected to the conveyor belt, electric slide rail, convex electric slider, camera and robotic arm, and has a built-in image recognition processing module.

[0012] This utility model discloses a piston side hole processing feeding mechanism. Through the electrical connection between the controller and various components, and the built-in image recognition processing module, it realizes fully automated piston feeding operation, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, and improves production efficiency. The combination of the camera and the controller's image recognition processing module can quickly and accurately identify the position and posture of the piston on the conveyor belt. The robotic arm performs precise grasping based on the recognition results, ensuring the positioning accuracy of piston feeding and thus improving the quality of piston side hole processing. The adjustable distance between the guide plate and the conveyor belt allows the feeding mechanism to adapt to the transmission of pistons of different specifications, expanding the applicability of the equipment. At the same time, the anti-slip texture on the surface of the conveyor belt and the smooth arc surface design on the inner side of the guide plate also ensure the stability and safety of pistons of different specifications during transmission. The support rod, anti-slip pad, and connecting reinforcement rod under the side plate enhance the overall stability of the equipment. The shock-absorbing pad design between the support plate, side plate, and frame effectively reduces vibration during equipment operation, providing a stable working environment for piston side hole processing and further improving processing accuracy.

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a piston side hole processing and feeding mechanism, including a side plate 1, a support plate 2 fixedly arranged above the side plate 1, a frame 3 fixedly arranged above the support plate 2, a controller 4 fixedly arranged in front of the side plate 1, a conveyor belt 5 fixedly arranged inside the two side plates 1, a guide plate 6 fixedly arranged inside the two side plates 1, an electric slide rail 7 fixedly arranged at the wide end of the inner side of the frame 3, a movable slide rod 8 fixedly arranged inside the electric slide rail 7, a convex electric slider 9 fixedly arranged outside the movable slide rod 8, a camera 10 fixedly arranged below the convex electric slider 9, and a robotic arm 11 fixedly arranged below the convex electric slider 9.

[0021] A support rod 12 is fixedly installed below the side plate 1, and an anti-slip pad 13 is fixedly installed below the support rod 12. A connecting reinforcing rod 14 is fixedly installed between the two support rods 12.

[0022] The conveyor belt 5 has anti-slip textures on its surface, the inner wall of the guide plate 6 is a smooth arc surface, the guide plate 6 is parallel to the conveyor belt 5 and the distance between them is adjustable, at least two electric slide rails 7 are evenly spaced along the width of the frame 3, the movable slide rod 8 is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 7 by ball bearings, the camera 10 and the robotic arm 11 are staggered along the length of the U-shaped electric slider 9, the shooting angle of the camera 10 covers the feeding area of ​​the conveyor belt 5, the support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side plate 1 and the frame 3 by bolts, and shock-absorbing pads are provided at the connection points, the controller 4 is electrically connected to the conveyor belt 5, the electric slide rail 7, the U-shaped electric slider 9, the camera 10 and the robotic arm 11 respectively, and the controller 4 has a built-in image recognition processing module.

[0023] Working Principle: The piston is placed on the conveyor belt 5. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the conveyor belt 5 prevents the piston from sliding during transmission, ensuring transmission stability. Guide plates 6 on both sides of the conveyor belt 5 have smooth arc-shaped inner walls, are parallel to the conveyor belt 5, and have adjustable spacing. They can be adjusted according to different piston specifications, guiding and limiting the piston, allowing it to be transported along a fixed path to the designated feeding area. When the piston is transported to the area covered by the camera 10's shooting angle, the camera 10 starts working, capturing the piston's position and posture, and transmitting the captured image information to the controller 4. The controller 4's built-in image recognition processing module analyzes and processes the image, quickly and accurately identifying the piston's specific position and posture information on the conveyor belt. Subsequently, based on the image recognition processing results, the controller 4 sends commands to the electric slide rail 7, the U-shaped electric slider 9, and the robotic arm 11. The electric slide rail 7 is set along the width direction of the frame 3. The movable slide rod 8 is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 7 via ball bearings. The electric slide rail 7 drives... The movable slide bar 8 moves in the width direction; the U-shaped electric slider 9 can slide along the length direction on the movable slide bar 8. The two work together to enable the camera 10 and the robotic arm 11 to move in a two-dimensional plane. The camera 10 and the robotic arm 11 are staggered along the length direction of the U-shaped electric slider 9. After the camera 10 completes image acquisition, the robotic arm 11 moves to a suitable position above the piston according to the instructions of the controller 4. It accurately grabs the piston through the end effector. After grabbing the piston, the robotic arm 11, under the synergistic action of the electric slide rail 7 and the U-shaped electric slider 9, moves the piston to the designated processing position of the edge hole processing equipment to complete the loading operation. During the entire working process, the support rod 12, anti-slip pad 13 and connecting reinforcing rod 14 under the side plate 1 enhance the overall stability of the equipment and prevent the equipment from shaking during operation. The shock-absorbing pads between the support plate 2 and the side plate 1 and the frame 3 effectively reduce the vibration during the operation of the equipment, providing a stable working environment for piston edge hole processing, thereby ensuring the accuracy of loading and processing quality.

Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application are still within the scope of this application.
