Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of dust cap conveying devices, and specifically refers to a combined mechanism for translating dust caps. Background Technology

[0002] A tire valve is a one-way valve device installed on a tire to inflate or depressurize it with gas or liquid and to maintain the tire's internal pressure. The dust cap on the valve stem is a component primarily used to protect the valve stem core, effectively preventing dust, water, oil, and other impurities from damaging the valve core's sealing structure and thus extending the valve stem's lifespan.

[0003] In the tire assembly manufacturing process, efficient transportation of dust caps is required to achieve streamlined operations. However, the dust cap has a relatively unique structure, mainly because it is small in size and has an opening on one side. This necessitates consideration of orientation during automated transportation, and there is currently no dedicated transportation device for dust caps on the market. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 — Figure 5 :

[0032] A combined mechanism for a translational dust cap includes a base 1, a cylinder mounting plate 2 and a spiral vibrating table 3 mounted on the base 1. The spiral vibrating table 3 is provided with a spiral vibrating slide 30 for adjusting the orientation of the dust cap. The end of the spiral vibrating slide 30 is connected to an inclined gravity slide rail 31, and the end of the gravity slide rail 31 has a discharge port 310. Above the cylinder mounting plate 2, a push cylinder mounting plate 4 driven by a transverse cylinder 40 is provided. The upper end of the push cylinder mounting plate 4 is provided with a pusher slide plate 5 driven by a longitudinal push cylinder 50. A suction device is fixed on the pusher slide plate 5. The material seat 6 has a suction nozzle 60 at one end. The suction seat 6 has a vent 61 that communicates with the front end of the suction nozzle 60. The vent 61 is connected to a rear air port 62 at the opposite end of the suction nozzle 60. The upper end of the suction seat 6 has an upper air port 63 that communicates with the vent 61. Both the rear air port 62 and the upper air port 63 are equipped with air pipe connectors. A conveying pipe 7 is provided above the base 1. When the transverse cylinder 40 drives the cylinder mounting plate 4 from one end to the other, the suction nozzle 60 moves from one side of the discharge port 310 to one side of the conveying pipe 7.

[0033] During implementation, the gravity slide rail 31 connects the two components in the form of a bracket. The rotating vibrating table vibrates and produces the dust cap. The spiral vibrating slide rail 30 distinguishes between the positive and negative directions, and the dust cap finally exits from the discharge port 310 of the gravity slide rail 31 for subsequent operations. Furthermore, two cylinders move the suction nozzle 60 up, down, left, and right. During operation, the two air ports on the suction seat of the suction nozzle operate through two separate air paths. Specifically, a negative pressure is provided at the upper air port to adsorb the dust cap at the discharge port 310. The air path connected to the lower air port closes and stops working. When the dust cap moves to the vicinity of the conveying pipe 7, the air path at the upper air port closes and stops working, and the air path at the lower air port is pressurized to push the dust cap into the conveying pipe 7.

[0034] During the above operation, the adsorption dust cap can ensure that the required intervals are met for convenient quantitative and timed delivery, thus achieving efficient assembly and transfer.

[0035] Preferably, the cylinder mounting plate 2 includes a combined mounting plate 20 fixed on the base 1, and the combined mounting plate 20 is an angle plate structure. A transverse cylinder mounting plate 21 is fixed to the vertical side wall of the combined mounting plate 20 by a number of bolts, and the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21 is an angle plate structure. An adjustment elongated hole 200 for a number of bolts to pass through is opened on the vertical side wall of the combined mounting plate 20, and the adjustment elongated hole 200 is arranged longitudinally. A screw hole 210 corresponding to the bolt is opened on the side wall of the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21.

[0036] In the above structure, the cylinder mounting plate 2 adopts the form of two sets of corner plates, which not only supports the two sets of cylinders but also facilitates the entire assembly. The provided adjustment elongated hole 200 facilitates the up and down movement of the bolts, allowing the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21 to be adjusted in height to a certain extent, and providing a certain adjustment range for the overall height of the dual cylinders, so that the discharge port 310 at the end of the gravity slide rail 31 can effectively correspond to the suction nozzle 60.

[0037] Preferably, a conveying pipe fixing plate 70 is fixed to the side wall of the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21, and the conveying pipe 7 is fixed to the end of the conveying pipe fixing plate 70.

[0038] During implementation, the conveying pipe 7 is a flexible hose, and the conveying pipe 7 is supported and fixed by the conveying pipe fixing plate 70, which can effectively allow the suction nozzle to be accurately fed into the conveying pipe 7. Furthermore, by fixing the conveying pipe fixing plate 70 to the side wall of the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21, the overall installation is simpler, and there is no need to adjust the position of the conveying pipe 7 separately.

[0039] Preferably, the conveying pipe fixing plate 70 has a C-shaped structure. The bottom of the conveying pipe fixing plate 70 is fixed to the side wall of the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21 by bolts. The top of the conveying pipe fixing plate 70 is provided with a clamping plate 71 whose tightness is adjusted by bolts. A clamping opening 72 for fixing the conveying pipe 7 is formed between the clamping plate 71 and the conveying pipe fixing plate 70.

[0040] In the above structure, the design of the 72 clamp can easily adapt to the delivery pipe with dust caps of different sizes, thus improving its versatility.

[0041] Preferably, both the upper end of the transverse cylinder mounting plate 21 and the push cylinder mounting plate 4 are provided with slide rails, and both the push cylinder mounting plate 4 and the bottom of the push slide plate 5 are provided with sliders corresponding to the slide rails. If the plate surfaces pushed by the two cylinders are both supported and balanced by piston rods, it will affect the service life of the cylinders. Using slide rails and sliders that match the direction of piston rod movement can ensure both support and balance.

[0042] Preferably, the spiral vibrating slide 30 includes a front section and a rear section. The front section includes a V-shaped material trough 300 connected to the spiral vibrating table 3, and the rear section consists of two sets of parallel clamping plates 301 whose ends are connected to the V-shaped material trough 300. The two sets of clamping plates 301 are spiral in shape, and the ends of the two sets of clamping plates 301 are connected to the top of the gravity slide rail 31.

[0043] In the above structure, the rotary vibrating table is used for continuous feeding and conveying of dust caps. The V-shaped material trough 300 allows the dust caps to be tilted. However, there is still a problem that the dust caps may have their openings facing upwards or downwards. When the dust caps enter between the two sets of parallel clamps 301, the dust caps with their openings facing upwards cannot enter and will fall off directly because the edges of the openings of the dust caps have outward protrusions. Therefore, the latter section serves to adjust the direction. The dust caps entering the gravity slide rail are all in the same direction, which facilitates the suction nozzle to adsorb them at the discharge port.

[0044] In addition, the gravity slide rail is fixed by a stand on the base or by an end hinge to facilitate height adjustment at both ends.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
