Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibratory feeder technology, specifically a vibratory feeder for assembling wheel bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Wheel bearings are components that support the rotation of wheels, typically consisting of three basic parts: an inner ring, an outer ring, and rolling elements. Their main function is to reduce friction during wheel rotation, improving vehicle ride smoothness and fuel efficiency, while also reducing wear on the wheel and other vehicle components, thus extending the vehicle's lifespan. During the assembly of the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling elements of a wheel bearing, a vibratory feeder is needed to transport the parts; therefore, a vibratory feeder for conveying is required.

[0003] In existing technology, there is a bearing vibratory feeder with model number WDY-201808018. After the vibratory feeder is turned on, the bearings are spirally conveyed upwards until they reach a designated position where there is an arc-shaped baffle. This arc-shaped baffle has a certain gap with the conveying channel. If the bearings are arranged neatly, they will pass through the gap. If the bearings are not arranged properly, the arc-shaped baffle, combined with the vibration effect, will shake the bearings off and allow them to rejoin the conveying operation. However, some parts of the aforementioned bearing vibratory feeder have minor problems in actual use. For example, when the bearings are blocked by the arc-shaped baffle, they require additional vibration force to be pushed off, a process that is relatively slow, affecting the conveying speed of subsequent bearings and resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vibratory plate for assembling wheel bearings, which can efficiently carry out the conveying operation of wheel bearings and effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vibratory plate for assembling wheel bearings, comprising a vibratory plate body and a high-efficiency sorting mechanism;

[0006] The vibrating disc body has a spiral channel inside and a discharge channel on the upper right side. The upper discharge port of the spiral channel is connected to the rear side of the discharge channel.

[0007] The high-efficiency sorting mechanism includes a rotating groove, a rotating shaft, a rotating cylinder, and an arc-shaped deflector. The rotating groove is located on the upper left side of the outer arc surface of the vibrating disc body. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove. A rotating cylinder is movably fitted on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft. An arc-shaped deflector is located on the right side of the outer arc surface of the rotating cylinder. The arc-shaped deflector corresponds to the upper left side of the spiral channel in an up-down position, which can efficiently perform the conveying operation of wheel bearings.

[0008] Furthermore, a controller is provided on the outside of the vibrating disc body, and the input end of the controller is electrically connected to an external power source to control the normal operation of electrical appliances.

[0009] Furthermore, the high-efficiency sorting mechanism also includes a mounting shell, a turntable, a circular pin, and a grooved plate. The mounting shell is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the outer arc surface of the vibrating disc body. The turntable is rotatably connected to the lower side wall of the vibrating disc body. A circular pin is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the turntable. A grooved plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer arc surface of the rotating disc. The outer arc surface of the circular pin is slidably connected to the inside of the grooved plate to provide transmission power for the reciprocating motion of the arc-shaped dial.

[0010] Furthermore, a base is provided on the lower side of the vibrating disc body, and a uniformly distributed leaf spring is fixedly connected between the vibrating disc body and the base. A protective cover is provided on the upper surface of the base, and a motor base is provided on the left side of the outer arc surface of the protective cover to provide guidance for oblique vibration.

[0011] Furthermore, the high-efficiency sorting mechanism also includes a motor, which is disposed on the upper surface of the motor base. The input end of the motor is electrically connected to the input end of the controller to provide power for the swinging motion.

[0012] Furthermore, an electromagnet is provided on the left side of the upper surface of the chassis, and an armature is provided on the right side of the lower surface of the vibrating disc body. The input end of the electromagnet is electrically connected to the output end of the controller to provide power for vibration.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower side of the arc-shaped lever is a chamfered arc surface to prevent the right-angle plate from directly pressing against the wheel bearing and causing jamming.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The vibratory plate for assembling wheel bearings adopts a crank structure. As the round pin rotates around the center of the turntable, it will cause the groove plate to reciprocate around the central axis of the rotating shaft at a specified angle. This, in turn, drives the arc-shaped swashplate to reciprocate around the central axis of the rotating shaft at a specified angle. During this process, the stacked wheel bearings are dislodged and the overlapping wheel bearings are leveled, enabling efficient conveying of wheel bearings. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a vibratory plate for assembling wheel bearings, including a vibratory plate body 1 and a high-efficiency sorting mechanism 3.

[0024] The vibrating disc body 1 has a spiral channel 2 inside, a discharge channel 4 on the upper right side of the vibrating disc body 1, and the upper discharge port of the spiral channel 2 is connected to the rear side of the discharge channel 4. The vibrating disc body 1 has a controller 8 on the outside, and the input end of the controller 8 is electrically connected to an external power source. The vibrating disc body 1 has a base 5 on the lower side, and a uniformly distributed leaf spring 6 is fixedly connected between the vibrating disc body 1 and the base 5. The leaf spring 6 is installed at an incline, and the lower surface of the vibrating disc body 1 is inclined at a five-degree angle to the horizontal plane. The upper surface of the base 5 has a protective cover 7, and the left side of the outer arc surface of the protective cover 7 has a motor base. The left side of the upper surface of the base 5 has an electromagnet 10, and the right side of the lower surface of the vibrating disc body 1 has an armature 9. The input end of the electromagnet 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 8.

[0025] The high-efficiency sorting mechanism 3 includes a rotating groove 31, a rotating shaft 32, a rotating cylinder 36, and an arc-shaped lever 37. The rotating groove 31 is located on the upper left side of the outer arc surface of the vibrating plate body 1. The rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove 31. The rotating cylinder 36 is movably fitted on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 32. The arc-shaped lever 37 is located on the right side of the outer arc surface of the rotating cylinder 36. The arc-shaped lever 37 corresponds to the upper left side of the spiral channel 2. The high-efficiency sorting mechanism 3 also includes a mounting shell 33, a rotating disk 34, a round pin 35, and a groove plate 38. The mounting shell 33 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the outer arc surface of the vibrating plate body 1. On the side, a turntable 34 is rotatably connected to the lower side wall of the vibrating disc body 1. A round pin 35 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the turntable 34. A groove plate 38 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer arc surface of the rotating cylinder 36. The outer arc surface of the round pin 35 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove plate 38. The high-efficiency sorting mechanism 3 also includes a motor 39. The motor 39 is set on the upper surface of the motor base. The input end of the motor 39 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 8. The lower side of the arc-shaped dial plate 37 is a chamfered arc surface. The chamfered arc surface can smoothly push the wheel bearing when the arc-shaped dial plate 37 contacts the wheel bearing, preventing jamming.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] When the vibratory plate is needed, the controller 8 can be adjusted to operate the electromagnet 10. The electromagnet 10 generates a large magnetic force to attract the armature 9 closer, which moves the vibratory plate body 1 and the leaf spring 6 to the left. Then the controller 8 will stop energizing the electromagnet 10. At this time, the vibratory plate body 1 and the leaf spring 6 will reset. During the repeated energizing and de-energizing operation of the electromagnet 10, the vibratory plate body 1 will generate high-frequency vibration. At this time, the wheel bearing can be poured into the vibratory plate body 1. At this time, the wheel bearing is subjected to the high-frequency vibration of the vibratory plate body 1 and will move upward along the spiral channel 2. During this process, the upright wheel bearing will naturally roll down during the conveying process.

[0028] At this point, controller 8 can be adjusted to operate motor 39. The output shaft of motor 39 rotates, which in turn drives turntable 34 to rotate, causing pin 35 to rotate at high speed around the central axis of motor 39's output shaft. When pin 35 rotates to the rearmost position, its outer arc surface actuates slot plate 38, causing drum 36 to rotate 15 degrees clockwise. When pin 35 rotates to the frontmost position, its outer arc surface actuates slot plate 38, causing drum 36 to rotate 15 degrees counterclockwise. During the 15-degree reciprocating rotation of drum 36, the end of arc-shaped actuating plate 37 reciprocates 15 degrees around the central axis of drum 36. When the wheel bearing moves... When the wheel bearing reaches the arc-shaped baffle 37, if there are no other wheel bearings stacked on top of the wheel bearing, the wheel bearing will pass through the space reserved between the arc-shaped baffle 37 and the spiral channel 2. If there are other wheel bearings stacked on top of the wheel bearing, the arc-shaped baffle 37 will push the other wheel bearings off and drop them to the bottom of the vibrating plate body 1 for re-transportation. If the arc-shaped baffle 37 is only supporting the other wheel bearings, the arc-shaped baffle 37 will rotate counterclockwise and push the supporting wheel bearings backward to make them neatly arranged and pass through the reserved space. Finally, the wheel bearings will be discharged through the reserved space and discharged to the outside of the vibrating plate along the discharge channel 4, completing the conveying operation.

[0029] It is worth noting that the core chip of the controller 8 disclosed in the above embodiments is a single-chip microcomputer, specifically the STM32. The motor 39 and electromagnet 10 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. It is recommended that the motor 39 be a 60PD integrated servo motor, and the electromagnet 10 be an SC-4824 AC electromagnet for vibratory feeders. The controller 8 controls the operation of the motor 39 and the electromagnet 10 using methods commonly used in the prior art.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
