Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain processing, specifically to a chain disassembly machine with a quick mold changing function. Background Technology

[0002] A chain is a mechanical component widely used in mechanical transmission and transportation. It typically consists of several links arranged sequentially and connected by pins to form a chain. The manufacturing process usually involves three steps: connecting the links continuously, separating the links into segments according to the required length, and finally connecting the segments together to form the chain. The segment separation process is typically performed using a link separation machine.

[0003] Because chains come in a variety of specifications, disassembling a chain usually requires a specific disassembly mold for each specification. Therefore, whenever a different specification of chain is disassembled, the disassembly mold needs to be changed. Traditional mold replacement methods are cumbersome, requiring the disassembly of various parts and the replacement of the mold. This method increases the labor intensity of workers, is inconvenient to operate, and reduces production efficiency. When disassembling and changing molds for multiple chain specifications, it is necessary to change the mold quickly, reduce labor intensity, and improve production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a chain disassembly machine with a quick mold change function, wherein the modular disassembly components can be replaced as a whole to adapt to the disassembly requirements of chains of different specifications, and has the advantage of convenient model change.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A chain disassembly machine with a quick mold changing function includes a frame, a feeding module and a disassembly module. The frame is provided with a worktable, and the worktable is provided with a disassembly station and a feeding station. The feeding module is set at the feeding station.

[0006] The disassembly module includes a disassembly drive assembly, a modular disassembly assembly, and an installation assembly. The modular disassembly assembly includes a disassembly base, a disassembly upper mold, and guide pillars. The disassembly base has an ejection channel that extends vertically through it. The disassembly upper mold is movably connected to the disassembly base via the guide pillars. The disassembly upper mold has a disassembly ejector pin, which is aligned with the ejection channel. The disassembly drive assembly is detachably connected to the disassembly upper mold and is used to drive the disassembly upper mold to move relative to the disassembly base. The disassembly base is detachably connected to the worktable via the installation assembly.

[0007] During the chain segmentation process, the chain is fed from the feed station to the segmentation station by the chain feed module, where the segmentation module completes the segmentation operation. The modular segmentation assembly can be disassembled and replaced as a whole to adapt to the segmentation requirements of different chain specifications, offering the advantage of convenient model changeover.

[0008] Preferably, the disassembly base is provided with two stops, forming a disassembly channel between the two stops, and the ejection channel is located within the disassembly channel. The stops can limit the chain entering the disassembly station.

[0009] Preferably, the upper disassembly mold is provided with a plug-in block, and the disassembly drive assembly is provided with a plug-in slot. The upper disassembly mold is connected to the disassembly drive assembly through the plug-in block and the plug-in slot.

[0010] Preferably, the disassembly drive assembly includes a mounting bracket, on which a disassembly drive component is provided, and the disassembly drive component is disposed on the mounting bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the workbench is provided with a mounting slot and a mounting channel, the mounting channel extending from one side of the mounting slot to the side of the workbench, and the disassembly base is disposed within the mounting slot; the mounting assembly includes a clamping unit disposed on the workbench, the clamping unit being used to clamp the disassembly base and confine the disassembly base within the mounting slot. During the disassembly and assembly of the modular disassembly assembly, the disassembly base moves in and out of the mounting slot along the mounting channel.

The positioning insert plate is disposed on one side of the disassembly station, and the positioning drive is used to drive the positioning insert plate to translate relative to the disassembly station. During the disassembly operation, the positioning insert plate extends towards the disassembly station and inserts into the chain link located at the disassembly station, ensuring reliable positioning of the chain link and providing positioning assurance for the smooth execution of the subsequent pin ejection operation.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Example

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a chain splitting machine includes a frame 1, a feeding module and a splitting module. The frame 1 is provided with a worktable, and the worktable is provided with a splitting station and a feeding station. The feeding module is located at the feeding station, and the splitting module is located at the splitting station.

[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the feed module includes a feed drive assembly and a guide rail assembly 22. The feed drive assembly includes a sprocket 21 and a rotary drive unit. The sprocket 21 is located at the feed station and is rotatably connected to the worktable. The rotary drive unit is used to drive the sprocket 21 to rotate.

[0024] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail assembly 22 includes a spacing adjustment mechanism 23 and two guide blocks 221, forming a guide channel 222 between the two guide blocks 221. The guide channel 222 extends along the direction from the feed station to the disassembly station. The spacing adjustment mechanism 23 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to drive the two guide blocks 221 to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the width of the guide channel 222.

[0025] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, specifically, the spacing adjustment mechanism 23 includes an adjustment drive component 232 and an adjustment slider 231. The adjustment slider 231 corresponds one-to-one with the guide block 221, and the guide block 221 is slidably connected to the worktable via the adjustment slider 231. The adjustment drive component 232 is connected to the adjustment slider 231 and is used to drive the adjustment slider 231 to move. The adjustment drive component 232 includes a lead screw, which is threadedly connected to each of the two adjustment sliders 231, with the threads connecting to the two adjustment sliders 231 rotating in opposite directions. By rotating the lead screw, synchronous reverse adjustment of the two sliders and the guide block 221 can be achieved.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the disassembly module includes a disassembly drive assembly 33, a modular disassembly assembly 31, and an installation assembly 34, as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the modular disassembly assembly 31 includes a disassembly base 315, a disassembly upper mold 312, and guide pillars 313. The disassembly base 315 has an ejection channel 316 extending vertically through it. The disassembly upper mold 312 is movably connected to the disassembly base 315 via the guide pillars 313. The disassembly upper mold 312 has a disassembly ejector pin 317, which is aligned with the ejection channel 316. The disassembly base 315 has two stops 314, forming a disassembly channel between them. The ejection channel 316 is located within the disassembly channel. The stops 314 can limit the movement of the chain entering the disassembly station.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the disassembly drive assembly 33 is detachably connected to the disassembly upper mold 312 and is used to drive the disassembly upper mold 312 to move relative to the disassembly base 315. The disassembly base 315 is detachably connected to the worktable via the mounting assembly 34. Specifically, the disassembly drive assembly 33 includes a mounting bracket 32, on which a disassembly drive component is mounted. The disassembly drive component is mounted on the mounting bracket 32. The disassembly upper mold 312 is provided with a plug-in block 311, and the disassembly drive assembly 33 is provided with a plug-in slot. The disassembly upper mold 312 is connected to the disassembly drive assembly 33 via the plug-in block 311 and the plug-in slot.

[0028] During the disassembly process, the chain meshes with the sprocket 21 and, driven by the sprocket 21, is fed along the guide channel 222 to the disassembly station, where the disassembly module completes the disassembly operation.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the extension direction of the guide channel 222 is tangential to the sprocket 21, and the inlet end of the guide channel 222 corresponds to the sprocket 21, while the outlet end corresponds to the disassembly station. The inlet end of the guide channel 222 extends at least to the corresponding tangent point of the sprocket 21. The guide rail assembly 22 can closely cooperate with the sprocket 21 to ensure that the chain can smoothly enter the guide channel 222 and be accurately and smoothly fed along the guide channel 222 to the disassembly station.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, one of the two guide blocks 221 is an outer guide block 221, and the other is an inner guide block 221. The distance between the inner guide block 221 and the center of the sprocket 21 is less than the distance between the outer guide block 221 and the center of the sprocket 21. The inner guide block 221 includes a first segment 223 and a second segment 224. The height of the second segment 224 is less than the height of the first segment 223. The second segment 224 extends between the sprocket 21 and the worktable. The arrangement of the second segment 224 ensures that the guide channel 222 extends completely below the sprocket 21, providing reliable and sufficient guidance for the chain feed.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the workbench is provided with a mounting slot and a mounting channel. The mounting channel extends from one side of the mounting slot to the side of the workbench, and the disassembly base 315 is disposed within the mounting slot. The mounting assembly 34 includes a clamping unit disposed on the workbench. The clamping unit is used to clamp the disassembly base 315 and confine the disassembly base 315 within the mounting slot. During the disassembly and assembly of the modular disassembly assembly 31, the disassembly base 315 moves in and out of the mounting slot along the mounting channel.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the disassembly module further includes a positioning component 35, which includes a positioning insert plate 351 and a positioning drive component. The positioning insert plate 351 is disposed on one side of the disassembly station, and the positioning drive component is used to drive the positioning insert plate 351 to translate relative to the disassembly station. Correspondingly, the stop block 314 is provided with a positioning channel aligned with the positioning insert plate 351. During the disassembly operation, the positioning insert plate 351 extends towards the disassembly station and inserts into the chain link located at the disassembly station, ensuring reliable positioning of the chain link and providing positioning assurance for the smooth execution of the subsequent pin ejection operation.

[0033] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
