Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of tire processing and transportation technology, and more specifically to an automatic tire feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic tire feeding system is an automated equipment system applied to the tire production and inspection process. It is mainly used to realize the automatic feeding process of tires from storage or transportation to inspection equipment, improve inspection efficiency, reduce labor costs and improve the level of production automation. In order to ensure product quality and safety during use, tires need to undergo various tests before leaving the factory. Therefore, it is necessary to use conveying equipment to move the tires, and then manually place the tires onto the inspection equipment for inspection.

[0003] However, in practice, it has been noted that tires are generally laid flat on the conveyor belt during transportation, while tire monitoring equipment (such as tire dynamic balancers that monitor tire dynamic balance) requires the tires to be placed vertically. This requires moving the tires from the horizontal to the vertical direction. Manual handling is inefficient and labor-intensive, while using robotic arms is more costly, more labor-intensive to maintain, and takes longer, affecting normal use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic tire feeding system. The end of the conveying mechanism is equipped with a sliding flipping mechanism that converts a flat tire into a vertical one during the feeding process. Furthermore, the end of the flipping mechanism is equipped with a clamping structure to prevent the tire from slipping. This addresses the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic tire feeding system includes a frame, with a tire conveying mechanism and a tire tipping and feeding structure respectively installed on the top of the frame;

[0007] The tire tipping and feeding structure has a support base fixedly connected to the frame body. The top of the support base is movably connected to a feeding driver, and the top of the feeding driver is movably connected to a sliding tipper. The inner side of the sliding tipper is also movably connected to a tire positioning clamp.

[0008] The sliding flipper includes two parallel connecting base plates and a connecting top plate. An inclined guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting base plate, and a rotating roller is movably connected to the end of the inclined guide plate. A trapezoidal slide rail that contacts the rotating roller is provided below the inclined guide plate.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the trapezoidal slide rail is inclined downward on the side near the rotating roller, and the connecting base plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the end near the trapezoidal slide rail, with two supporting ear plates in each group.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the feeding driver includes symmetrically arranged threaded screws, the ends of which are driven by a drive motor. Furthermore, each of the threaded screws has an internal threaded slider on its outer thread, and the two ends of the internal threaded slider are respectively fixedly connected to a vertical support column and a pin shaft.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the supporting ear plate below the connecting base plate is movably connected to the pin shaft rotating rod above the internal thread slider, and the end of the vertical support column away from the internal thread slider is in contact with the bottom of the connecting base plate.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a mating through hole is provided above the connecting top plate, and a limiting groove is provided in a rectangular array on the outer side of the mating through hole. Corner support columns are fixedly connected between the connecting bottom plate and the connecting top plate in a rectangular array, and a compression spring is sleeved in each of the corner support columns.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the tire positioning clamp includes a circular top plate that is inserted into the inner side of the mating through hole. The bottom of the mating through hole is integrally provided with a sliding plate, and the sliding plate is provided with a sliding through hole corresponding to the corner support column. Moreover, the corner support column and the sliding through hole are slidably mated.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the connection between the sliding plate and the circular top plate is fixedly connected with fixed ear plates in a ring array, and each fixed ear plate is movably connected with an L-shaped claw, and the side of the L-shaped claw away from the circular top plate is integrally provided with a trapezoidal slider.

[0015] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the L-shaped claw penetrates the inner side of the limiting groove, and the end of the limiting groove near the trapezoidal slider is provided with an inclined surface, and the compression spring is located between the connecting base plate and the sliding plate.

[0016] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the supporting base includes a fixed frame that is fixedly connected to the frame body. Supporting columns are fixedly connected in a rectangular array above the frame body. Side frames and fixed end plates are also provided above the supporting columns, and the side frames and fixed end plates are arranged alternately.

[0017] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the threaded screw is symmetrically and movably connected to the inner side of the fixed end plate, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed end plate, and the end of the drive motor passes through the fixed end plate and is connected to the threaded screw.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] In this invention, a drive motor rotates a threaded screw, and through the threaded engagement between the threaded screw and the internal threaded slider, the internal threaded slider moves the sliding flipper. Since the bottom of the sliding flipper is engaged with the internal threaded slider through a pin shaft, the sliding flipper can not only move laterally with the internal threaded slider, but also rotate above the internal threaded slider around the pin shaft as the axis to flip the horizontally placed tire, converting the tire into a vertical position for placement in the testing equipment, thus achieving automatic flipping during tire loading.

[0020] In this utility model, while the internal threaded slider drives the connecting base plate to move, the inclined guide plate below the connecting base plate moves above the trapezoidal slide rail, and the rotating roller at the end of the inclined guide plate moves along the inclined surface of the trapezoidal slide rail, so that the connecting base plate automatically flips above the corner support column, and the entire flipping process does not consume energy, thereby reducing the cost of use and maintenance.

[0021] In this invention, after the tire moves above the circular top plate, the weight of the tire will push the circular top plate downward, causing the fixing ear plate on the side of the circular top plate to move the L-shaped claw downward as well. At this time, the trapezoidal slider on the side of the L-shaped claw and the inclined surface of the limiting groove cooperate with each other, so that the L-shaped claw is tightly attached to the tire and clamps the tire.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides an automatic tire feeding system, including a frame 1, with a tire conveying mechanism 2 and a tire flipping feeding structure respectively installed on the top of the frame 1;

[0035] The tire flipping and feeding structure has a support base 3 fixedly connected to the frame body 1. The top of the support base 3 is movably connected to the feeding driver 6, and the top of the feeding driver 6 is movably connected to the sliding flipper 4. The inner side of the sliding flipper 4 is also movably connected to the tire positioning clamp 5.

[0036] The sliding flipper 4 includes two parallel connecting base plates 41 and connecting top plates 42. An inclined guide plate 47 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting base plate 41, and a rotating roller 48 is movably connected to the end of the inclined guide plate 47. A trapezoidal slide rail 7 that contacts the rotating roller 48 is provided below the inclined guide plate 47.

[0037] Furthermore, the trapezoidal slide rail 7 is inclined downward on the side near the rotating roller 48, and the connecting base plate 41 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the end near the trapezoidal slide rail 7 with two supporting ear plates 49 in each group.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, while the internal threaded slider 63 drives the connecting base plate 41 to move, the inclined guide plate 47 below the connecting base plate 41 moves above the trapezoidal slide rail 7, and the rotating roller 48 at the end of the inclined guide plate 47 moves along the inclined surface of the trapezoidal slide rail 7, so that the connecting base plate 41 automatically flips above the corner support column 43, and the entire flipping process does not consume energy, thereby reducing the cost of use and maintenance.

[0039] Furthermore, the feeding driver 6 includes symmetrically arranged threaded screws 61, with a drive motor 62 drivingly connected to the end of each threaded screw 61. Each threaded screw 61 has an internal threaded slider 63 threadedly connected to its outer side, and the two ends of the internal threaded slider 63 are respectively fixedly connected to a vertical support column 64 and a pin shaft 65.

[0040] More specifically, the supporting ear plate 49 below the connecting base plate 41 is movably connected to the pin shaft 65 above the internal thread slider 63, and the end of the vertical support column 64 away from the internal thread slider 63 is in contact with the bottom of the connecting base plate 41.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor 62 drives the threaded screw 61 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the threaded screw 61 and the internal threaded slider 63, the internal threaded slider 63 drives the sliding flipper 4 to move. Since the bottom of the sliding flipper 4 is engaged with the internal threaded slider 63 through the pin shaft 65, the sliding flipper 4 can not only follow the internal threaded slider 63 to move laterally, but also rotate above the internal threaded slider 63 around the pin shaft 65 as the axis to flip the horizontally placed tire, converting the tire into a vertical position for placement in the testing equipment, thus realizing automatic flipping when loading tires.

[0042] Furthermore, a mating through hole 45 is provided above the connecting top plate 42, and a limiting groove 46 is provided in a rectangular array on the outer side of the mating through hole 45. Corner support columns 43 are fixedly connected in a rectangular array between the connecting bottom plate 41 and the connecting top plate 42, and a compression spring 44 is sleeved in each corner support column 43.

[0043] Furthermore, the tire positioning clamp 5 includes a circular top plate 52 that is inserted into the inner side of the mating through hole 45. The bottom of the mating through hole 45 is integrally provided with a sliding plate 51, and the sliding plate 51 is provided with a sliding through hole 53 corresponding to the corner support column 43. Moreover, the corner support column 43 and the sliding through hole 53 are slidably mated.

[0044] More specifically, the connection between the sliding plate 51 and the circular top plate 52 is fixedly connected with fixed ear plates 54 in a ring array, and each fixed ear plate 54 is movably connected with an L-shaped claw 55, and the side of the L-shaped claw 55 away from the circular top plate 52 is integrally provided with a trapezoidal slider 56.

[0045] Furthermore, the L-shaped claw 55 penetrates the inner side of the limiting groove 46, and the limiting groove 46 has an inclined surface at one end near the trapezoidal slider 56. The compression spring 44 is located between the connecting base plate 41 and the sliding plate 51.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, after the tire moves above the circular top plate 52, the weight of the tire will push the circular top plate 52 to move downward, thereby causing the fixing ear plate 54 on the side of the circular top plate 52 to drive the L-shaped claw 55 to move downward as well. At this time, the trapezoidal slider 56 on the side of the L-shaped claw 55 cooperates with the inclined surface of the limiting groove 46, so that the L-shaped claw 55 is tightly attached to the tire and clamps the tire.

[0047] Furthermore, the supporting base frame 3 includes a fixed frame 31 fixedly connected to the frame body 1. Supporting columns 32 are fixedly connected in a rectangular array above the frame body 1. Side frames 33 and fixed end plates 34 are also provided above the supporting columns 32, and the side frames 33 and fixed end plates 34 are arranged alternately.

[0048] Furthermore, the threaded screw 61 is symmetrically and movably connected to the inner side of the fixed end plate 34, and the drive motor 62 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed end plate 34, with the end of the drive motor 62 passing through the fixed end plate 34 and connected to the threaded screw 61.

[0049] Furthermore, the tire conveying mechanism 2 has a transmission frame fixedly connected to the upper part of the frame body 1. The inner side of the transmission frame is symmetrically provided with guide wheels, and the outer side of the drive wheel is sleeved with a chain roller conveyor belt. The bottom of the transmission frame is provided with a drive roller that frictionally engages with the chain roller conveyor belt, and the end of the drive roller is also provided with a transmission motor.

[0050] The conveyor motor drives the chain roller conveyor belt to rotate on the transmission frame via the drive roller. The tire is placed above the chain roller conveyor belt and is moved by the chain roller conveyor belt to the tire positioning clamp 5 at the end of the tire conveying mechanism 2.

[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, the tire conveying mechanism 2 moves the tire placed on top to above the connecting top plate 42. When the tire moves above the circular top plate 52 in the connecting top plate 42, the weight of the tire causes the circular top plate 52 to move downward inside the mating through hole 45. The sliding plate 51 below the circular top plate 52 compresses the compression spring 44. Furthermore, the circular top plate 52 also drives the L-shaped claw 55 downward through the fixed ear plate 54. As the L-shaped claw 55 descends, the trapezoidal slider 56 on the side of the L-shaped claw 55 engages with the inclined surface of the limiting groove 46, causing the end of the L-shaped claw 55 to converge inward, thereby clamping the wheel. On the outer side of the tire, the drive motor 62 drives the threaded screw 61 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the threaded screw 61 and the internal threaded slider 63, the sliding flipper 4 moves to the right as a whole. The connecting base plate 41 also drives the rotating roller 48 to move through the inclined guide plate 47. The rotating roller 48 rolls along the surface of the trapezoidal slide rail 7. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal slide rail 7 will cause the inclined guide plate 47 to push the connecting base plate 41 to flip. The connecting base plate 41 flips to the right with the pin shaft 65 on the internal threaded slider 63 as the axis, automatically changing the tire from a horizontal position to a vertical position and pushing it into the detection device set at the end. The structure is simple, the operation is very convenient, and it effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0052] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
