[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing technology, specifically to a clip-type bearing pushing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the bearing production and processing, different processing equipment is required for each step, necessitating the transport of bearing components to different workstations. Due to the numerous transport operations and the extended processing time, efficient bearing feeding, separation, and transport are crucial. Traditional transport methods rely on multiple conveying mechanisms working together, with manual placement of bearings during transfer, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing accuracy. Therefore, a highly efficient and reliable bearing feeding device is urgently needed to improve work efficiency while ensuring workpiece positional accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in ensuring accuracy in the existing bearing feeding process, this utility model proposes a clip-type bearing pushing device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A spring-loaded bearing pushing device includes a pushing platform, a receiving mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The positioning mechanism is fixed to the discharge side of the upper end of the pushing platform to position the bearing to be pushed. The lower end of the positioning mechanism is provided with a feeding port for discharging the bearing to be pushed. The receiving mechanism is located inside the lower part of the positioning mechanism. The upper bearing end of the receiving mechanism can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to receive the bearing to be pushed. The pushing mechanism is fixed to the pushing side of the upper end of the pushing platform. The pushing end of the pushing mechanism is set towards the feeding port and can extend and retract in the feeding direction to push the bearing to be pushed. The clamping mechanism is fixed above the pushing mechanism. The inner clamping end of the clamping mechanism is set opposite to the positioning mechanism and can extend and retract in the horizontal direction to clamp and fix the bearing to be pushed.

[0006] Furthermore, the material-bearing mechanism is embedded in the upper surface of the pushing platform, and the bearing end of the material-bearing mechanism is flush with the upper surface of the pushing platform.

[0007] Furthermore, the material-bearing mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, a cross-shaped support plate, and a support rod assembly. The lifting cylinder is vertically fixed to the inside of the pushing platform. The rod end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lower end face of the cross-shaped support plate through the support rod assembly. The cross-shaped support plate is the material-bearing end of the material-bearing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning arc plate and two positioning rings. The two positioning rings are fixedly connected side by side to the upper surface of the pushing platform along the height direction. The positioning arc plate is arranged opposite to the clamping mechanism and fixedly connected inside between the two positioning rings.

[0009] Furthermore, an avoidance groove is provided on the inner end of the positioning ring near the clamping mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the two positioning rings are fixedly connected to the push platform via a set of connecting ear plates. The connecting ear plates are respectively set on the left and right sides of the positioning rings, with the lower end of the connecting ear plates fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push platform, and the upper end of the connecting ear plates fixedly connected to the two positioning rings respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping components arranged in parallel. Each clamping component includes a clamping cylinder and a clamping arc plate. The clamping cylinder is horizontally fixed to the pushing platform. The rod end of the clamping cylinder is connected to the clamping arc plate. The two clamping arc plates are arranged in parallel on opposite sides of the positioning arc plate. The clamping arc plate is the clamping end of the clamping mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner arc surfaces of the positioning arc plate and the clamping arc plate mate with the outer arc surface of the bearing to be pushed.

[0013] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder and a feeding block. The pushing cylinder is horizontally fixed to the upper surface of the pushing platform. The rod end of the pushing cylinder is connected to the feeding block. The feeding block is located at the inner feeding end of the feeding port. The feeding block is the pushing end of the pushing mechanism. The pushing bearing pushes the feeding end of the pushing mechanism out from the outer discharge end of the feeding port.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer end face of the feeding block is an arc surface that matches the outer arc surface of the pushed bearing.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0025] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment describes a spring-loaded bearing pushing device comprising a pushing platform 1, a receiving mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4, and a pushing mechanism 5. The positioning mechanism 3 is fixed to the discharge side of the upper end of the pushing platform 1 to position the bearing to be pushed. The lower end of the positioning mechanism 3 is provided with a feeding port 6 for discharging the bearing to be pushed. The receiving mechanism 2 is located inside the lower part of the positioning mechanism 3. The upper bearing end of the receiving mechanism 2 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to receive the bearing to be pushed. The pushing mechanism 5 is fixed to the pushing side of the upper end of the pushing platform 1. The pushing end of the pushing mechanism 5 is positioned towards the feeding port 6 and can extend and retract in the feeding direction to push the bearing to be pushed. The clamping mechanism 4 is fixed above the pushing mechanism 5. The inner clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 is positioned opposite to the positioning mechanism 3 and can extend and retract in the horizontal direction to clamp and fix the bearing to be pushed.

[0026] When the device is working, the bearing to be pushed is placed from the top of the positioning mechanism 3. The bearing end of the material receiving mechanism 2 rises to receive a stack of bearings to be pushed and then places the bearings to be pushed in a stable position. Then the bearing end of the material receiving mechanism 2 descends, and the clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 extends horizontally to cooperate with the positioning mechanism 3 to clamp the bearings to be pushed. At this time, one bearing to be pushed will remain at the bottom. After the bearings to be pushed above are clamped, the pushing end of the pushing mechanism 5 extends and pushes the bearings to be pushed out from the feeding port 6.

[0027] This device works in conjunction with a belt conveyor, which transports bearings from one location to another, and works with a pushing device to move the bearings. For lightweight bearings, gravity and inclines are used to transport them to different separation areas.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cross-shaped support plate 22 supports the bearing to be pushed, which facilitates the placement of the bearing. The cross-shaped support plate 22 is raised and lowered by the lifting cylinder 21. The support rod assembly includes two auxiliary rods arranged in parallel. The rod end of the lifting cylinder 21 is connected to the cross-shaped support plate 22 through the two auxiliary rods to prevent the cross-shaped support plate 22 from tilting.

[0033] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment describes a positioning mechanism 3 comprising a positioning arc plate 31 and two positioning rings 32.

[0035] In this embodiment, the positioning arc plate 31 is used to position the bearing to be pushed, and it cooperates with the clamping mechanism 4 to clamp the bearing to be pushed. The feeding port 6 is located at the lower part of the lower positioning ring 32 and is flush with the pushing mechanism 5. The end of the feeding port 6 closer to the pushing mechanism 5 is the pushing end, and the end farther away from the pushing mechanism 5 is the discharging end.

[0037] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment Four.

[0038] This design prevents interference between the clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 and the positioning ring 32 when the clamping end extends.

[0039] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, two positioning rings 32 are fixedly connected to the push platform 1 via a set of connecting ear plates 34. The connecting ear plates 34 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the positioning rings 32. The lower end of the connecting ear plates 34 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the push platform 1, and the upper end of the connecting ear plates 34 is fixedly connected to the two positioning rings 32 respectively.

[0040] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment Four.

[0041] This design facilitates the effective fixation of the positioning ring 32.

[0042] Specific implementation method seven: Combining Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment describes a clamping mechanism 4 comprising two clamping components arranged side by side.

The clamping arc plate 42 moves horizontally under the push of the clamping cylinder 41, and cooperates with the positioning arc plate 31 to clamp the bearing to be pushed between the positioning arc plate 31 and the clamping arc plate 42. In this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 41 is a three-bar cylinder to ensure the stability of the clamping process.

[0045] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the inner arc surfaces of the positioning arc plate 31 and the clamping arc plate 42 mate with the outer arc surface of the bearing to be pushed.

[0046] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment Five.

[0047] Specific Implementation Method Nine: Combining Figures 1 to 6This embodiment describes a pushing mechanism 5, which includes a pushing cylinder 51 and a feeding block 52. The pushing cylinder 51 is horizontally fixed to the upper surface of the pushing platform 1. The rod end of the pushing cylinder 51 is connected to the feeding block 52. The feeding block 52 is located at the inner feeding end of the feeding port 6. The pushing end of the pushing mechanism 5 is pushed out from the outer discharge end of the feeding port 6 by the pushing bearing.

[0048] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the feeding block 52 is used to push out the bearing being pushed. The feeding block 52 moves horizontally under the push of the pushing cylinder 51, pushing the bearing out from the discharge end of the feeding port 6. In this embodiment, the pushing cylinder 51 is a double-rod cylinder to ensure the stability of the pushing process.

[0050] Specific Implementation Method Ten: Combining Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the outer end face of the feeding block 52 is an arc surface that matches the outer arc surface of the pushed bearing.

[0051] The undisclosed technical features in this embodiment are the same as those in specific embodiment nine.

[0052] During operation, this device utilizes pneumatic solenoid valves to control the movement of the entire pushing mechanism, while a PLC controls the entire operational process, including the starting, stopping, and adjustment of the push rod. A control program is written to plan the push rod's movement path, calculating the push rod's angle and position based on the bearing location and pushing action to ensure each bearing is precisely pushed to its designated position.

[0053] Sensors are installed to detect bearing position and ensure accurate pushing action. These sensors are mounted on the pushing device and conveyor belt to monitor bearing status in real time. Proximity sensors detect the bearing's proximity and trigger pushing or separating operations.

[0054] This invention relates to a clip-type bearing pushing device that pushes a stack of bearings one by one to a designated position or separation area, achieving efficient material handling. The pushing device uses compressed air to drive the push rod, suitable for applications requiring rapid pushing. The pushing mechanism ensures that the push rod (i.e., the feeding block) can stably push the bearings, preventing tilting or falling. A slide rail can be installed in the pushing mechanism as needed to guide the linear movement of the push rod, reducing friction and improving pushing accuracy. Combined with a belt conveyor, it transports bearings from one position to another, working in conjunction with the pushing device to move the bearings. Airflow can also be used to blow bearings to different separation areas; this method is suitable for handling lightweight bearings. A PLC is used to control the entire pushing device's operation, including the push rod's start, stop, and adjustment. A control program is written to plan the push rod's movement path, ensuring each bearing is accurately pushed to the designated position. The push rod's movement angle and position are calculated based on the bearing's position and the pushing action. A device is used to detect the bearing's position, ensuring the accuracy of the pushing action. Installed on the pushing device and conveyor belt, it monitors the bearing's status in real time. It is used to sense the bearing's approach and trigger pushing or separation operations. Equip the pushing device and conveying system with protective covers to protect operators from mechanical injury. Design an emergency stop button for rapid shutdown in case of malfunction or emergency, ensuring safety. Develop a regular inspection and maintenance plan for the equipment, checking the status of the pushing device, sensors, and control system. Integrate a fault detection and diagnostic system to detect equipment problems in real time and provide alarms and maintenance suggestions. Select wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to cope with different environmental conditions (such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc.). For dusty environments, design dustproof measures to maintain normal equipment operation. Integrate the pushing device, conveying system, control system, and sensors to ensure that all parts work together. Conduct system debugging, optimize the pushing and separating algorithms, and adjust equipment parameters to ensure the stability and efficiency of the device. Test under actual load conditions to evaluate the performance and stability of the pushing device. Simulate fault conditions to verify the effectiveness of fault detection and handling mechanisms.

[0055] Through the detailed technical solutions described above, an efficient and reliable bearing pushing device can be designed and implemented to meet production needs and improve production efficiency.
