Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding horizontal motion device. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic feeding horizontal motion device is a piece of equipment used in automated production lines to move materials horizontally from one position to another. It is widely used in fields such as machining, electronics manufacturing, and food processing, and can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the continuity and stability of production.

[0003] During the use of automatic feeding horizontal motion devices, different products often have different shapes and sizes, which requires the grippers to accurately match and grasp the products in order to achieve horizontal movement of the products. However, when products are changed, the grippers cannot be changed quickly, which requires a lot of time to adjust in order to adapt to the new product shape and size. This not only prolongs the changeover time of the product line, but also increases the difficulty of operation, thereby affecting production efficiency and flexibility.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic feeding horizontal motion device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding horizontal motion device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic feeding horizontal motion device includes a connecting frame, on the side of which the outer wall of a second motor is fixedly connected, and at the output end of the second motor is a one-way threaded rod. The outer wall of the one-way threaded rod is movably sleeved with both ends of the connecting frame. The outer wall of the one-way threaded rod is threadedly connected to a second connecting slider, and at the bottom end of the second connecting slider is a quick-connect mechanism.

[0008] An adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame. The two ends of the adjustment mechanism are movably sleeved with two sets of column plates. Connecting frames are provided on opposite sides of the two sets of column plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the quick-connect mechanism includes a second connecting slider, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a first connecting block. The first connecting block has an internal movable groove, and two sets of adjusting rods are movably sleeved at both ends of the movable groove. Two sets of limiting pins are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the two sets of adjusting rods, and the outer walls of the two sets of limiting pins are slidably sleeved with the first connecting block.

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the two sets of adjusting rods are movably sleeved with limit plates, and the opposite sides of the two sets of limit plates are fixedly connected with the two ends of a spring, the outer wall of the spring being movably sleeved with the connecting block.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the first connecting block is movably sleeved with the second connecting block, the outer wall of the second connecting block is movably sleeved with the limiting post, and a clamping claw is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second connecting block.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting slide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame, and a connecting slider two is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting slide rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes two sets of extension blocks. The bottom ends of the two sets of extension blocks are fixedly connected to the connecting frame. One end of a transmission rod is hinged to the outer wall of each set of extension blocks. The other end of the transmission rod is hinged to a connecting slider. The two ends of a bidirectional threaded rod are threadedly connected to the interior of each of the two sets of connecting sliders. The two ends of the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod are movably sleeved with the column plate. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod is fixedly connected to a motor. The outer wall of the motor is fixedly connected to one of the column plates.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. When a product on the production line needs to be changed, the grippers must be replaced accordingly to match the new product shape and size. First, press the two sets of limit plates located on the outside of the connecting block one inward. As the limit plates move inward, they will drive the two sets of adjusting rods to slide inside the connecting block one. This causes the two sets of limit plates inside the connecting block one to compress the spring, causing the adjusting rods to move inward. At the same time, the movement of the adjusting rods will drive the limit pins on both sides to move synchronously towards the center. When the two sets of limit pins move to the slot opening of the connecting block two... When the limiting relationship between connecting block two and the limiting pin is released, connecting block two can be smoothly moved out from the outside of connecting block one, completing the cancellation of the socket. The replacement of the gripper can then be quickly realized, shortening the time required to replace the gripper, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line, making the entire production process smoother, and able to quickly adapt to the production needs of different products. Moreover, only the gripper needs to be replaced, reducing replacement time and operational difficulty, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line, adapting to the needs of multi-variety production, reducing labor costs, and enhancing the versatility of equipment and production continuity.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the automatic feeding horizontal motion device provided by this utility model includes a connecting frame 6. The outer wall of a second motor 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting frame 6. A one-way threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 8. The outer wall of the one-way threaded rod 10 is movably sleeved with both ends of the connecting frame 6. A connecting slider 11 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the one-way threaded rod 10. A quick-connect mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting slider 11.

[0025] An adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 6. The two ends of the adjustment mechanism are movably connected to the two sets of column plates 1. The connecting frame 6 is provided on the opposite sides of the two sets of column plates 1.

[0026] The inner wall of the connecting frame 6 is fixedly connected to the limiting slide rod 9, and the outer wall of the limiting slide rod 9 is slidably sleeved with the connecting slider 11.

[0027] During use, when the product needs to be moved horizontally to complete the loading operation, the operator only needs to start motor 8. The output end of motor 8 will then drive the one-way threaded rod 10 to rotate inside the connecting frame 6. As the one-way threaded rod 10 rotates, its surface is connected to the connecting slider 11 through the thread, thereby driving the connecting slider 11 to move left and right in the horizontal direction, moving the product horizontally from the initial position to the designated loading position, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the loading process. At the same time, the connecting slider 11 slides synchronously on the outer wall of the limiting slide rod 9. The limiting slide rod 9 restricts the movement trajectory of the connecting slider 11, ensuring that its movement remains stable. Even when the one-way threaded rod 10 rotates at high speed, the limiting slide rod 9 can also prevent the connecting slider 11 from swinging due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. The product at the bottom can remain stable during the movement, avoiding the impact of swinging on the accuracy and efficiency of loading.

[0028] The quick-connect mechanism includes a second connecting slider 11. The bottom end of the second connecting slider 11 is fixedly connected to a first connecting block 12. The first connecting block 12 has a movable groove inside. Two sets of adjusting rods 15 are movably sleeved at both ends of the movable groove. Two sets of limiting pins 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the two sets of adjusting rods 15. The outer walls of the two sets of limiting pins 16 are slidably sleeved with the first connecting block 12.

[0029] Both ends of the two sets of adjusting rods 15 are movably sleeved with limit plates 17, and the two ends of springs 18 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two sets of limit plates 17. The outer wall of the springs 18 is movably sleeved with the connecting block 12.

[0030] The outer wall of connecting block 12 is movably connected to connecting block 2 13, the outer wall of connecting block 2 13 is movably connected to limiting post 16, and the bottom end of connecting block 2 13 is fixedly connected to a claw 14.

[0031] When a product on the production line needs to be replaced, the grippers must be replaced accordingly to match the new product shape and size. At this time, the operator only needs to press the two sets of limiting baffles 17 set on the outside of the connecting block 12 towards the middle. As the limiting baffles 17 move inward, they slide on the inner wall of the connecting block 12 through the two sets of adjusting rods 15, so that the two sets of limiting baffles 17 located inside the connecting block 12 compress the spring 18. At the same time, the adjusting rods 15 move inward, driving the limiting pins 16 on both sides to move towards the middle. When the two sets of limiting pins 16 move to the slot opening of the connecting block 2 13, the limiting relationship between the connecting block 2 13 and the limiting pins 16 is released. At this time, the connecting block 2 13 can be smoothly moved out from the outside of the connecting block 12, canceling the sleeve. The grippers 14 at the bottom of the connecting block 2 13 also move out simultaneously, so that it can be replaced.

[0032] After replacing the new connecting block 13 and gripper 14, the operator first aligns the connecting block 13 with the two sets of limiting posts 16, allowing the two sets of limiting posts 16 to smoothly engage through the opening of the connecting block 13. Once the limiting posts 16 are in contact with the inner wall of the connecting block 13, the operator releases the pressure on the two sets of limiting baffles 17. At this point, under the elastic potential energy of the spring 18, the spring 18 pushes the adjusting rod 15 to reset, thereby moving the outer fixed limiting posts 16 to both sides of the inner wall of the connecting block 13, repositioning the connecting block 13 with the connecting block 12, thus completing the rapid replacement of the gripper 14. This achieves the effect of rapid gripper replacement, improves the flexibility and efficiency of the production line, reduces the time required for gripper replacement, lowers the operational difficulty, and makes the entire replacement process simpler and more efficient.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes two sets of extension blocks 7. The bottom ends of the two sets of extension blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 6. One end of the transmission rod 5 is hinged to the outer wall of each set of extension blocks 7. The other end of the transmission rod 5 is hinged to the connecting slider 3. The two ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 4 are respectively threaded inside the two sets of connecting sliders 3. The two ends of the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 4 are movably sleeved with the column plate 1. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 4 is fixedly connected to the motor 2. The outer wall of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to one of the column plates 1.

[0035] When adjustments are needed based on the height of different products, the operator first starts motor 2. The output of motor 2 then drives the bidirectional threaded rod 4 to rotate inside the two sets of column plates 1. As the bidirectional threaded rod 4 rotates, the two sets of connecting sliders 3 on its outer wall move synchronously on the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 4. When the two sets of connecting sliders 3 move inward synchronously, the top of the transmission rod 5 hinges to the connecting slider 3, while the bottom of the transmission rod 5 hinges to the extension block 7. Under the influence of the length of the transmission rod 5, the height of the connecting frame 6 is adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the bottom gripper 14 and the product. By precisely adjusting to a suitable distance, the gripper 14 can more conveniently and efficiently grasp and move the product, thus meeting the production needs of different product heights and improving the versatility and production efficiency of the equipment.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
