Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of threaded bar processing equipment, and in particular to a threaded bar dispersion and alignment device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fastener manufacturing industry, during the final processing, counting, and packaging of threaded rods (such as lead screws), the outer threads of adjacent rods can easily mesh or jam due to their uneven threaded structure. Traditionally, this involves manually pulling and counting the rods until a certain quantity is reached, then standing them upright and repeatedly lifting and lowering them until they are completely aligned before proceeding to the next packaging stage. This method is labor-intensive, slow, and inefficient, negatively impacting overall packaging efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, existing dispersion and alignment devices have certain limitations when handling threaded bars. Because the bars are prone to shifting during descent or transport, they can become twisted, intertwined, or even entangled. This prevents the bars from being completely separated, further impacting subsequent collection and neat arrangement. This incomplete dispersion not only increases the need for manual intervention, but the intertwining of the threaded bars can also cause equipment jams, preventing further packaging and affecting overall packaging efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can effectively prevent threaded bars from meshing together and achieve efficient dispersion and alignment, so as to improve the work efficiency and automation level of the entire threaded bar post-processing process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a threaded bar material dispersion and alignment device, which can realize the automatic dispersion and alignment of threaded bars, thereby effectively solving the problems of bar material interlocking, incomplete dispersion, and low collection efficiency mentioned in the background art, and improving the overall production automation level and operation efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is a threaded bar material dispersion and alignment device, comprising a partition plate assembly, a movable bracket, a conveyor chain, a push plate, and a support frame. The partition plate assembly is divided by a middle conveyor channel and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides along the middle conveyor channel, with its bottom plane fixed on the support frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the partition assembly consists of a set of vertical partitions, with the partitions being higher in the middle and lower at both ends to form bevels.

[0008] Furthermore, the partition plates are evenly distributed along the conveying channel on the support frame, and a partition groove is formed between adjacent partition plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable brackets are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the middle conveying channel and the partition plate assembly, in a total of three sets; the three sets of movable brackets move left and right and up and down, and their movements are consistent.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable bracket located in the middle conveyor channel has a row of steel nails evenly fixed on its right side, and its left side surface has a smooth structure. The movable brackets on both sides of the partition plate assembly are smooth brackets.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveyor chain includes a toothed chain and a smooth chain. The toothed chain is adjacent to the intermediate movable bracket and located on one side of the intermediate movable bracket. There are two sets of smooth chains, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the partition plate assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the gaps between the steel nails, the width of the dividing grooves, and the tooth spacing of the toothed chain are matched.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable bracket is provided with limiting devices on the left and right sides respectively. When the movable bracket moves to the left, under the action of the limiting device, the movable bracket is positioned directly above the partition plate assembly, and the gap between the steel nails is aligned with the partition groove. When the movable bracket moves to the right to the limit position, under the action of the limiting device on the other side, the movable bracket is positioned directly below the toothed chain, and the gap between the steel nails and the teeth of the toothed chain is aligned.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution are as follows: By employing a partition plate structure with the middle section higher than both ends, effective positioning of the threaded bar is achieved. When the movable bracket transports the threaded bar directly above the partition plate assembly, and the gap between the steel nails aligns with the partition groove, the middle section of the threaded bar smoothly falls into the corresponding partition groove as the movable bracket moves downward, ensuring that only one bar is accommodated in each partition groove. Simultaneously, guided by the inclined side structure of the partition plate and combined with its own gravity, the two ends of the threaded bar automatically slide down and accurately enter the corresponding partition groove, thereby achieving orderly and rapid separation of the threaded bar.

[0015] The technical solution effectively avoids the twisting, crossing, or entanglement of threaded bars, solves the technical problem of difficult alignment of threaded bars in traditional methods, significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of the bar collection process, and enhances the automation level and operational stability of the overall equipment.

[0016] When the middle and two ends of the partition plate are at the same height and the partition plate assembly is in a planar state, if the moving bracket moves vertically downward from directly above the partition plate assembly, the middle and two ends of the twisted and interlaced threaded rods will simultaneously contact the upper surface of the partition plate assembly. At this time, the threaded rods will form multiple contact force points along the upper edges of multiple partition plates, causing them to fail to fall smoothly into the partition grooves. It is even possible that multiple threaded rods will fall into the same partition groove, thus failing to achieve effective separation and dispersion of the threaded rods.

[0017] Furthermore, the pusher plate is located on both sides of the partition plate assembly and moves axially along the direction of the partition groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the movable brackets on both sides are located between the ends of the push plate and the partition plate assembly.

[0019] Furthermore, the conveyor chain uses a chain positioning device to simultaneously stop the toothed chain and the smooth chain, and to stop the tooth tips of the toothed chain in a fixed position. The chain positioning device is controlled by a signal receiver.

[0020] Furthermore, the movable bracket and push plate are moved by any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric telescopic rod.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following significant advantages and positive technical effects: the partition plate assembly, with its middle section higher than both ends, can effectively disperse and isolate the threaded bars that were originally in a twisted, interlaced, or even entangled state, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the bars. Simultaneously, the layout of the steel nail gaps and partition grooves matches the tooth pitch of the toothed chain, ensuring that the threaded bars maintain a stable and accurate relative position during transmission, preventing them from shifting or misaligning, and achieving efficient alignment of the threaded bars.

[0022] This utility model significantly improves the collection efficiency and arrangement consistency of threaded bars, enhances the stability and reliability of equipment operation, and further promotes the automation level of threaded bar processing. It has good engineering application prospects and promotion value. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a threaded bar material dispersion and alignment device includes a partition plate assembly 1. The partition plate assembly 1 is divided by a central conveying channel and is symmetrically arranged along the central conveying channel. The bottom plane is fixed on a support frame. The partition plate assembly 1 consists of a set of vertical partition plates 11. The partition plates 11 are high in the middle and low at both ends, forming bevels. The partition plates 11 are evenly distributed on the support frame 5 along the conveying channel. A partition groove 12 is formed between adjacent partition plates. Movable brackets 2 are respectively arranged in the central conveying channel and on the left and right sides of the partition plate assembly 1. The movement of the three movable brackets is consistent and is controlled by lifting columns 22. The moving brackets are moved up and down and left and right by the pushing device 23. The moving brackets located in the middle conveying channel have a row of steel nails 21 evenly fixed on the right side and are smooth on the left side. The moving brackets on both sides of the partition plate assembly are smooth brackets. There are three sets of conveying chains. Two sets of smooth chains 32 are on each side of the partition plate assembly 1. The toothed chain 31 in the middle is close to the middle moving bracket and is located on one side of the middle moving bracket. The push plate 4 is located on both sides of the partition plate assembly 1 and is driven by the pushing device 41 to move axially along the direction of the partition groove. The moving brackets 2 on both sides are located between the push plate 4 and the end of the partition plate assembly 1.

[0034] When the middle and both ends of the partition plate 11 are at the same height and the partition plate assembly 1 is in a planar state, if the movable bracket 2 moves vertically downward from directly above the partition plate assembly 1, the middle and both ends of the twisted and interlaced threaded rods 6 will simultaneously contact the upper surface of the partition plate assembly 1. At this time, the threaded rods 6 will form multiple contact force points along the upper edges of multiple partition plates 11, causing them to be unable to fall smoothly into the partition groove 12, and even multiple threaded rods may fall into the same partition groove, thus failing to achieve effective separation and dispersion of the threaded rods.

[0035] Specifically, the gaps between the steel nails 21, the width of the partition groove 12, and the tooth spacing of the toothed chain 31 are matched. The movable bracket 2 is provided with limiting devices 24 on the left and right sides respectively. When the movable bracket 2 moves to the left, under the action of the limiting device 24, the movable bracket 2 is positioned directly above the partition plate assembly 1, and the gaps between the steel nails 21 are aligned with the partition groove 12. When the movable bracket 2 moves to the right to its limit position, under the action of the limiting device 24 on the other side, the movable bracket 2 is positioned directly below the toothed chain 31, and the gaps between the steel nails 21 and the tooth spacing of the toothed chain 31 are aligned.

[0036] Specifically, the conveyor chain uses a chain positioning device to simultaneously stop the toothed chain 31 and the smooth chain 32, and to stop the tooth tips of the toothed chain in a fixed position. The chain positioning device is controlled by a signal receiver.

[0037] In this embodiment, during operation:

[0038] The movable bracket 2 moves upward from below the conveyor chain, lifting the threaded bar 6 conveyed by the toothed chain 31. During the lifting process, the middle of the threaded bar 6 enters the gap between the two steel nails 21 of the middle movable bracket, and the steel nails limit the lateral displacement of the threaded bar, thereby ensuring that the middle of the group of threaded bars remains dispersed and avoiding mutual interference or misalignment.

[0039] The movable bracket 2 moves the threaded bar 6 to the left and moves it directly above the partition plate assembly 1. When the gap of the steel nail 21 on the right side of the movable bracket 2 is aligned with the partition groove 12, the movable bracket moves vertically downward.

[0040] During the downward movement of the movable bracket 2, due to the structure of the partition plate assembly 1 which is high in the middle and low at both ends, the middle part of the threaded rod 6 enters the partition groove 12 first, and the two ends slide down along the inclined side of the partition plate 11 into the partition groove, thus completing the separation.

[0041] The push plate 4 moves along the axial direction of the partition groove 12 to further align the threaded bar 6 that has fallen into the partition groove. At this time, the moving bracket 2 resets to the right. The steel nail 21 on the right side of the middle moving bracket is located directly below the toothed chain 31, and the smooth part on the left side of the moving bracket is located directly below the partition plate assembly 1, preparing for the next round of lifting.

[0042] When the movable bracket 2 moves upward, the threaded bars 6 that have been dispersed and aligned in the separator assembly 1 are lifted by the left side of the movable bracket. At the same time, the part with steel nails 21 on the right side of the movable bracket lifts the threaded bars conveyed by the toothed chain 31 to directly above the toothed chain. Subsequently, the movable bracket 2 moves to the left, and the threaded bars 6 that have been dispersed and aligned in the separator assembly 1 are lifted by its left side and conveyed to the next process. At the same time, the part with steel nails 21 on its right side transports a new batch of threaded bars 6 to directly above the separator assembly 1, thereby realizing continuous cyclic operation of the entire sorting and conveying process.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by adopting a partition plate 11 structure with the middle section higher than both ends, effective positioning of the threaded bar 6 is achieved. When the movable bracket transports the threaded bar 6 directly above the partition plate assembly 1, and the gap between the steel nails 21 aligns with the partition groove 12, as the movable bracket 2 moves downward, the middle section of the threaded bar 6 can smoothly fall into the corresponding partition groove 12, ensuring that each partition groove 12 accommodates only one threaded bar. At the same time, guided by the inclined structure of the partition plate 11, and combined with its own gravity, the two ends of the threaded bar 6 can automatically slide down and accurately enter the corresponding partition groove 12, thereby achieving orderly and rapid separation of the threaded bar.

[0044] It effectively avoids the twisting, crossing or entanglement of the threaded bar 6, solves the technical problem of difficult alignment of threaded bars in the traditional method, significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of the bar collection process, and enhances the automation level and operational stability of the overall equipment.

[0045] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any simple substitutions made without departing from the concept of the present utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
