Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear technology, and in particular to a device for conveying gears during gear manufacturing or testing. Background Technology

[0002] For gear inspection or processing equipment equipped with automated pick-up robots, during the manufacturing or inspection process, gears need to be placed at the pick-up station of the automated pick-up robot so that the robot can pick them up. If gears are placed directly at the pick-up station manually, there is a risk of accidental injury to the operator due to the robot's back-and-forth movement at the pick-up station; therefore, this loading method poses a certain degree of danger. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a gear circulation conveying device to solve the technical problem of automatically conveying gears to the picking station of the picking robot of gear processing equipment or quality inspection equipment, and avoiding the technical problem that manual loading at the picking station may result in accidental injury by the robot.

[0004] The gear-driven circulating conveying device of this utility model includes a support module and a left conveying unit, a middle conveying unit, and a right conveying unit for conveying the support module;

[0005] The support module includes a rectangular plate and a positioning component fixed on the rectangular plate for positioning the gear.

[0006] The intermediate conveying unit includes a frame, a first conveyor and a second conveyor. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are horizontally installed on the frame, with the first conveyor located above the second conveyor. The conveying direction of the first conveyor is from right to left, and the conveying direction of the second conveyor is from left to right.

[0007] The left conveying unit includes a first elevator and a third conveyor. The first elevator is used to drive the third conveyor to move between the discharge end of the first conveyor and the feed end of the second conveyor. The third conveyor is used to receive the load module output by the first conveyor and to send the load module into the second conveyor.

[0008] The right-side conveying unit includes a second elevator and a fourth conveyor. The second elevator is used to drive the fourth conveyor to move between the feed end of the first conveyor and the discharge end of the second conveyor. The fourth conveyor is used to receive the load module output by the second conveyor and to send the load module into the first conveyor.

[0009] Furthermore, the first, second, third, and fourth conveyors are belt conveyors or chain conveyors. The third conveyor has a left baffle for blocking the load-bearing module on its left side, and the fourth conveyor has a right baffle for blocking the load-bearing module on its right side.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second elevators are vertically arranged cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or electric cylinders.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In the specific implementation of the gear circulation conveying device of this utility model, the left conveying unit is arranged at the picking station of the automatic picking robot of the gear quality inspection equipment or processing equipment. The worker only needs to place the gear on the support module on the right conveying unit, and the gear on the support module can be automatically sent to the picking station, eliminating the technical problem that the worker may be accidentally injured by the automatic picking robot if he places the gear directly at the picking station.

When there are extra gears on the intermediate conveying unit, workers can do other things, which helps to improve the efficiency of personnel utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a gear-driven circulating conveyor.

[0015] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the gear circulation conveyor device arranged next to the gear quality inspection equipment. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gear circulation conveying device in this embodiment includes a load-bearing module and a left conveying unit, a middle conveying unit, and a right conveying unit for conveying the load-bearing module.

[0018] The support module includes a rectangular plate 1 and a positioning component fixed on the rectangular plate for positioning the gear. The positioning component consists of a disc 2 connected to the rectangular plate and a centering shaft 3 vertically fixed on the disc for engaging with the inner hole of the gear. In a specific implementation, the disc 2 and the centering shaft 3 can be made of plastic material to avoid damaging the gear when in contact with it.

[0019] The intermediate conveying unit includes a frame 4, a first conveyor 5, and a second conveyor 6. The first and second conveyors are horizontally mounted on the frame, with the first conveyor positioned above the second conveyor. The first conveyor's conveying direction is from right to left, and the second conveyor's conveying direction is from left to right. Multiple support modules can be placed on the first conveyor 5 and the second conveyor 6, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first conveyor 5 and the second conveyor 6 can hold three load modules. Of course, in different embodiments, the number of load modules held by the first conveyor 5 and the second conveyor 6 can be designed to be other numbers.

[0020] The left-side conveying unit includes a first elevator 7 and a third conveyor 8. The first elevator drives the third conveyor to move between the discharge end of the first conveyor and the feed end of the second conveyor. The third conveyor receives the load modules output by the first conveyor and feeds the load modules into the second conveyor. Only one load module can be placed on the third conveyor 8.

[0021] The right-side conveying unit includes a second elevator 9 and a fourth conveyor 10. The second elevator drives the fourth conveyor to move between the feed end of the first conveyor and the discharge end of the second conveyor. The fourth conveyor receives the load modules output by the second conveyor and feeds the load modules into the first conveyor. Only one load module can be placed on the fourth conveyor 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first and second conveyors are chain conveyors, and the third and fourth conveyors are belt conveyors. Of course, in different embodiments, the first, second, third, and fourth conveyors can all be belt conveyors, or the first, second, third, and fourth conveyors can all be chain conveyors.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the first and second elevators are vertically arranged cylinders. Of course, in different embodiments, the first and second elevators can also be hydraulic cylinders or electric cylinders.

[0024] In practical implementation, when the first, second, third, and fourth conveyors are conveying the load module, the machine body edges of the first, second, third, and fourth conveyors, which are parallel to the conveying direction, can be directly used as limit baffles to prevent the load module from deviating from its movement direction or falling off the conveyor. Of course, if the machine body edge is not in a suitable position, a limit baffle 11 can also be set on the machine body edge to limit the position of the load module, so as to ensure that the load module accurately reaches the picking station.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a left baffle 12 is provided on the left side of the third conveyor to block the load-bearing module. The left baffle 12 can not only prevent the load-bearing module from falling off the third conveyor, but also ensure that the load-bearing device accurately stops at the picking station. In this embodiment, a right baffle 13 is provided on the right side of the fourth conveyor to block the load-bearing module. The right baffle 13 can prevent the load-bearing device from falling off the fourth conveyor.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the left conveying unit of the gear circulation conveying device is arranged at the picking station of the automatic picking robot of the gear quality inspection equipment. The worker only needs to place the gear on the support module located on the right conveying unit. The fourth conveyor transports the support module carrying the gear to the first conveyor. The gear on the support module is then transported to the picking station by the first and third conveyors. After the picking robot removes the gear, the first elevator drives the third conveyor to move downwards. Then, the third conveyor sends the support device to the second conveyor, which then transfers the support device to the fourth conveyor. The second elevator then drives the fourth conveyor to rise, and the support module on the fourth conveyor can then hold another gear. Using the gear circulation conveying device in this embodiment to transport workpieces to the picking station eliminates the technical problem of workers potentially being injured by the automatic picking robot if they place gears directly at the picking station. Furthermore, the middle conveying unit of the gear circulation conveying device in this embodiment can store multiple gears. When there are extra gears on the middle conveying unit, the worker can perform other tasks, thereby improving the efficiency of personnel utilization.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
