Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for compressor housing production, specifically to a compressor cylinder material distribution device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the compressor casing includes a cylinder, such as the "compressor casing" in Chinese utility model patent publication number CN204984798U. The cylinder is cylindrical. During the production process, the cylinder is formed by rolling a steel plate into a circle, and then the joint seam needs to be welded. Between processes, the cylinder is transported by a conveyor line. The subsequent automatic welding process has a certain rhythm, so the cylinder needs to be supplied to the subsequent welding process one by one in a controllable manner. Currently, a conveyor table is set at the end of the conveyor line, and the cylinder is intercepted at the end of the conveyor table. Workers move the cylinder on the conveyor table out of the interceptor plate at the end of the conveyor table according to the needs of the subsequent welding process, and the cylinder can then be moved to the subsequent process by the conveyor table. However, manual operation will encounter situations where workers need to rest or temporarily leave, which will cause delays in the subsequent process and is labor-intensive. It is necessary to improve this method. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] The compressor cylinder dispensing device of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes an infeed conveyor 100 and an outfeed conveyor 200 for conveying the vertical cylinder 99, with the left end of the infeed conveyor 100 connected to the right end of the outfeed conveyor 200; as Figure 1 As shown, the compressor cylinder dispensing device of this utility model also includes a cylinder sorting assembly 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder separation assembly 3 includes a separator rod 32, as... Figure 1 As shown, the separator rod 32 is located on the upper side of the feed conveyor table 100. The separator rod 32 extends longitudinally (that is, it extends in the left-right direction) and is evenly distributed laterally (that is, it is evenly distributed in the front-back direction). Figure 1 As shown, the discharge conveyor 200 is equipped with a baffle plate 4 for intercepting the rows of cylinders 99. The baffle plate 4 extends laterally, thus it can stop multiple rows of cylinders 99. Figure 1 As shown, the baffle plate 4 is located on the left side of the separator bar 32; Figure 1 As shown, the compressor cylinder dispensing device of this utility model also includes a dispensing mechanism 5, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the material distribution mechanism 5 is equipped with a lever 55 for laterally pushing the cylinder 99, which is parked on the right side of the baffle plate 4, away from the baffle plate 4. The levers 55 are arranged at equal intervals laterally. Figure 1 The example shows that there are four dials (55). Figure 3As shown, the cylinder assembly 3 includes a gantry frame 31 and a lifting rod 33. The lower end of the lifting rod 33 is fixedly connected to a corresponding partition rod 32, and the upper end of the lifting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the corresponding gantry frame 31. Specifically, the gantry frame 31 includes a base and a crossbeam. The lower end of the base is mounted on the frame 1 with corresponding screws. The front and rear ends of the crossbeam are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of the corresponding bases with corresponding screws. The crossbeam can be made of square tubing. The upper end of the lifting rod 33 has an external thread, which passes through the crossbeam and is fitted with a nut. The nut rests against the upper side of the crossbeam. The lower end of the lifting rod 33 is screwed to the partition rod 32. Figure 1 As shown, the separator 32 divides the feed buffer conveyor 100 into several diversion channels; the compressor cylinder material distribution device of this utility model also includes a control system, which controls and connects the feed conveyor 100, the discharge conveyor 200, and the material distribution mechanism 5. For example, the feed conveyor 100 and the discharge conveyor 200 can be chain conveyors, as exemplified by the Chinese utility model patent publication number CN221543061U, "A Chain Conveying Device with Multi-Angle Guidance". The feed conveyor 100 and the discharge conveyor 200 can also be roller conveyors, as exemplified by the Chinese utility model patent publication number CN219258502U, "An Automatic Conveying Table for Metal Product Processing".
[0020] The working principle of the cylindrical material distribution device of this utility model is briefly explained below: Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the left end of the cylindrical conveyor line 99 connects to the right end of the feed buffer conveyor table 100. The cylindrical body 99 is transferred from the cylindrical conveyor line 99 to the feed buffer conveyor table 100. During this process, the cylindrical body 99 is in an upright position, that is, the axis of the cylindrical body 99 is along the vertical direction. The feed buffer conveyor table 100 drives the cylindrical body 99 to move to the left. When the cylindrical body 99 reaches the right end of the separator bar 32, since the cylindrical body 99 is cylindrical, the outer wall of the cylindrical body 99 is aligned with the right end of the separator bar 32, allowing the cylindrical body 99 to slide horizontally into the aforementioned diversion channel. Figure 1The example illustrates a scenario with four diversion channels, which divides the cylinders 99 conveyed by the cylinder conveyor line 99 into several cylinder queues, ensuring that the cylinders 99 are conveyed in a relatively orderly manner. Afterward, the cylinders 99 reach the discharge conveyor platform 200, where they are then intercepted by the baffle plate 4. The lower end face of the cylinder 99 located at the left end of the feed buffer conveyor platform 100 can slip relative to the feed buffer conveyor platform 100. The control system controls the material distribution mechanism 5 to move the deflector 55 backward, thereby deflecting the cylinder 99 that is attached to the right side of the baffle plate 4 backward. The lateral travel of the deflector 55 is equal to the width of the aforementioned distribution channel (in the front-to-back direction). Thus, the cylinder 99 that is attached to the right side of the baffle plate 4 moves backward to the corresponding position of the adjacent distribution channel. The cylinder 99 that is actually in the last position moves out of the rear end of the baffle plate 4. Then, the control system controls the discharge conveyor 200 to move the cylinder 99 that is in the last position to the left and output it to the next process. As the deflector 55 moves repeatedly, the cylinders 99 are deflected out of the baffle plate 4 one by one. If the right side of the baffle plate 4 is not fully occupied by the cylinder 99, the deflector plate 55 may move backward without any cylinder 99 being moved to the rear end of the baffle plate 4. A reflective photoelectric sensor can be fixedly installed to detect the cylinder 99 in the last position. After the control system controls the deflector plate 55 to perform a set of backward deflecting actions on the cylinder 99, if the reflective photoelectric sensor does not detect a cylinder 99, the control system immediately controls the deflector plate 55 to perform another set of backward deflecting actions on the cylinder 99 based on the signal from the reflective photoelectric sensor, until a cylinder 99 triggers the reflective photoelectric sensor. The control system then controls the discharge conveyor 200 to convey the cylinder 99 that has left the baffle plate 4 to the left. As can be seen from the above, compared with the prior art, this utility model, by setting a control system combined with the material distribution mechanism 5 and the discharge conveyor 200, can replace manual labor to controllably output the cylinders 99 one by one, thus improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
[0021] By pre-arranging the cylinders 99 using the cylinder sorting assembly 3, it is beneficial for the cylinders 99 to reach the baffle plate 4 in an orderly manner, and for the paddle plate 55 to be inserted more accurately between adjacent cylinders 99. By setting the gantry frame 31 and the hanging rod 33, the dividing rod 32 can be suspended above the feed buffer conveyor table 100, thereby forming the above-mentioned diversion channel.
[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the material distribution mechanism 5 includes a transverse shift seat 51, a transverse shift drive cylinder 52, a longitudinal shift plate 53, and a longitudinal shift drive cylinder 54. The transverse shift seat 51 is slidably connected to the frame 1 via a corresponding linear guide pair, thus enabling the transverse shift seat 51 to move linearly back and forth. The transverse shift drive cylinder 52 drives the transverse shift seat 51 to move laterally (i.e., forward and backward). The piston rod of the transverse shift drive cylinder 52 is mounted on the transverse shift seat 51. The longitudinal shift drive cylinder 54 is located on the transverse shift seat 51, specifically, the transverse shift seat 51 is provided with a cylinder support, and the cylinder body of the longitudinal shift drive cylinder 54 is mounted on the aforementioned cylinder support. The longitudinal shift plate 53 is connected to the frame 1 via a corresponding linear guide pair. The linear guide rail is slidably connected to the transverse shift seat 51. The longitudinal shift drive cylinder 54 drives the longitudinal shift plate 53 to move longitudinally (i.e., move left and right). Specifically, the piston rod of the longitudinal shift drive cylinder 54 is installed and connected to the longitudinal shift plate 53. The feed buffer conveyor 100 and the discharge conveyor 200 are longitudinal conveying cylinders 99. A vertical plate 531 is installed on the longitudinal shift plate 53. The deflector plates 55 are installed on the right side of the vertical plate 531. As mentioned above, the deflector plates 55 are arranged at equal intervals in the transverse direction, that is, the deflector plates 55 are installed at equal intervals in the front-back direction on the vertical plate 531. When the number of the above-mentioned material distribution channels is set to four, the number of deflector plates 55 is correspondingly... Four sections are configured. With this configuration, as the lever 55 moves the cylinder 99 resting on the right side of the baffle plate 4 backward, the control system controls the longitudinal drive cylinder 54 to move the lever 55 to the right, so that the lever 55 inserts between adjacent cylinders 99 (except for the lever 55 in the foremost position). The lever 55 in the foremost position moves to the right to the front of the cylinder 99 in the foremost position. The control system then controls the transverse drive cylinder 52 to move the longitudinal plate 53 and the lever 55 backward together. Thus, the combination of the vertical plate 531 and the lever 55 can simultaneously move all four cylinders 99 backward. The shifting mechanism moves the cylinder 99, which is against the right side of the baffle plate 4, backward by one column distance. Then, the control system controls the longitudinal drive cylinder 54 to move the lever 55 to the left, causing the lever 55 to disengage from the cylinder 99. The control system then controls the transverse drive cylinder 52 to move the lever 55 forward to reset it, and so on. Since the lever 55 is inserted into the cylinder 99 along an axis perpendicular to the cylinder 99, even if the right end of the lever 55 contacts the cylinder 99 during the rightward movement, the cylindrical shape of the cylinder 99 guides the lever 55, allowing it to slightly push the cylinder 99 away. The above-mentioned material distribution mechanism 5 has a simple structure and uses a cylinder drive structure, avoiding the need for a servo motor to drive the lever 55, thus reducing costs.
[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the discharge conveyor 200 has a notch area 210, and a single-row discharge channel 220 is provided at the left end of the discharge conveyor 200. In other words, since the material distribution mechanism 5 outputs cylinders 99 one by one, the width of the single-row discharge channel 220 in the front-to-back direction can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder 99. The single-row discharge channel 220 is located on one side (specifically the rear side) of the notch area 210. Figure 4 As shown, the baffle plate 4 is located at the right end of the notch area 210, as... Figure 1 As shown, the baffle plate 4 and the frame 1 are connected by corresponding screws. The lower part of the upright plate 531 is located within the notch area 210. The above structural layout makes reasonable use of the position of the notch area 210, which is conducive to making the compressor cylinder material distribution device of this utility model compact in the left and right directions.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding buffer conveyor 100 includes several feeding conveyor rollers 101. The rotation axis of the feeding conveyor rollers 101 is along the front-to-back direction, and the feeding conveyor rollers 101 are arranged at intervals along the left-to-right direction. The feeding conveyor rollers 101 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. In other words, the feeding conveyor rollers 101 constitute the platform structure of the feeding buffer conveyor 100. The feeding conveyor rollers 101 are attached to the lower end face of the support cylinder 99, and the feeding conveyor rollers 101 drive the cylinder 99 to move to the left through friction. The discharging conveyor 200 includes several discharging conveying transition rollers 201 and several single-row discharging conveyor rollers 202. The discharging conveying transition rollers 201 are parallel to the feeding conveyor rollers 101, and the length of the feeding conveyor rollers 101 is parallel to the length of the discharging conveyor rollers 202. The feed transition rollers 201 are of the same length. The single-row feed conveyor roller 202 is located in the single-row feed channel 220. That is to say, the length of the single-row feed conveyor roller 202 is shorter (suitable for supporting the single-row conveyor cylinder 99). The single-row feed conveyor roller 202 is parallel to the discharge feed transition roller 201. The compressor distribution device of this utility model also includes an infeed conveyor mechanism 2 and a discharge conveyor mechanism 6. The infeed conveyor mechanism 2 is provided with an infeed motor 21 and an infeed chain 22. The front end of the infeed conveyor roller 101 is provided with a first sprocket. Each first sprocket is connected to the infeed chain 22. The infeed motor 21 drives the infeed chain 22 to rotate. Thus, the infeed motor 21 can simultaneously drive each infeed conveyor roller 101 to rotate in the same direction. Similarly, the discharge conveying mechanism 6 includes a discharge motor 61 and a discharge chain 62. A second sprocket is correspondingly provided at the rear end of the single-row discharge conveying roller 202, and a second sprocket is correspondingly provided at the rear end of the discharge conveying transition roller 201. Each second sprocket is connected to the discharge chain 62. The discharge motor 61 drives the discharge chain 62 to rotate, thus the discharge motor 61 can simultaneously drive each discharge conveying transition roller 201 and the single-row discharge conveying roller 202 to rotate in the same direction. The control system specifically controls the connection between the feed motor 21 and the discharge motor 61. Figure 6As shown, the width of the cylindrical conveyor line 99 (in the front-to-back direction) is approximately the same as the total width of the four material distribution channels. In the front-to-back direction, the separate material distribution channel 220 is staggered from the cylindrical conveyor line 99. Specifically, the separate material distribution channel 220 is located behind the cylindrical conveyor line 99.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the separator bars 32 are arranged in pairs and abutted together, so when the cylinder 99 is conveyed in the diversion channel, there are two pairs of separator bars 32 abutted together between two adjacent cylinders 99 in the front-back direction.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the right end of the lever 55 has a lever tip 551, that is, the thickness of the right end of the lever 55 (the thickness along the front-back direction) gradually decreases from left to right. So when the lever 55 moves to the right and inserts into the cylinder 99, if the lever tip 551 contacts the outer wall of the cylinder 99, the lever tip 551 and the cylindrical outer wall of the cylinder 99 guide each other, so that the lever 55 can more easily push open the cylinder 99.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the dividing rod 32 is a round rod. Since the dividing rod 32 extends in the left and right direction, the dividing rod 32 and the cylinder 99 are approximately in point contact, which can reduce the frictional resistance of the dividing rod 32 to the cylinder 99 and facilitate the cylinder 99 to pass through the above-mentioned diversion channel.
