Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, specifically to an I-beam feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] For some large motors, which require improved heat dissipation, H-beams need to be spot-welded onto the stator and rotor laminations to obtain ventilation slots. Specifically, H-beams are welded onto each internal tooth of the stator laminations to obtain the stator ventilation slots, and H-beams are welded onto each external tooth of the rotor laminations to obtain the rotor ventilation slots.

[0003] Currently, the production of motor ventilation slot plates cannot be automated, one important factor being the inability to achieve orderly feeding of the I-beams required for welding. See existing patent CN202310607051.X, patent title: An automatic welding equipment for motor ventilation slots and its usage method. The feeding of the I-beams is achieved by sliding the I-beams using an arc-shaped feeding frame. This conveying efficiency is very low, and often requires manual unloading of each I-beam. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an I-beam feeding mechanism to solve the current technical problem of low feeding efficiency of I-beams.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A feeding mechanism for I-beams is provided, including:

[0007] The feeding seat has a working chamber, and the working chamber is provided with a storage chamber, a transfer mechanism, a guiding mechanism and an output mechanism in sequence from front to back.

[0008] The storage cavity is suitable for storing I-beams, and the transfer mechanism is suitable for transferring each I-beam in the storage cavity to the guiding mechanism. Each I-beam is arranged in an orderly manner in the guiding mechanism and conveyed backward to the output mechanism. The output mechanism receives each I-beam output from the guiding mechanism and transfers it to the output position.

[0009] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism includes

[0010] The drive shaft and multiple transfer discs are arranged laterally within the seat cavity. Each transfer disc is fixed on the drive shaft. The front side of each transfer disc is located within the storage cavity. Multiple material handling ports for cooperating with I-beams are opened on each transfer disc.

[0011] Furthermore, the material guiding mechanism includes

[0012] A pair of guide plates are fixed on the inner wall of the working chamber, and straight guide grooves, arc guide grooves and vertical guide grooves are opened on the guide plates;

[0013] A pair of leading blocks, wherein an arc-shaped leading surface is formed on the leading blocks, the leading blocks are fixed to the front end of the guide plate, and the arc-shaped leading surface is connected to the straight guide groove;

[0019] The slide cylinder drives the exit platform to reciprocate between the front and rear positions. When the exit platform moves to the front position, the slot is located below the outlet of the material guiding mechanism, causing the I-beam in the material guiding mechanism to fall into the slot. Then the slide cylinder drives the exit platform to the rear position, at which time the I-beam is in the exit position.

[0020] Furthermore, the feeding seat is equipped with a pair of partitions, multiple guide rods, and an adjustment mechanism;

[0023] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes

[0024] A bidirectional lead screw, wherein both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are rotatably engaged with the feed seat via bearings, and the two lead screw sections of the bidirectional lead screw are respectively engaged with two partitions;

[0025] A handwheel is located at the end of a bidirectional lead screw.

[0026] Furthermore, the storage chamber is a conical hopper.

[0027] Furthermore, the feeder includes

[0028] The system includes a base plate, a pair of side plates, and a front guide plate. The two side plates are fixed to the base plate and the front guide plate on both sides, respectively. The front guide plate is tilted.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0046] This application provides an I-beam feeding mechanism, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0047] To address the technical problem of low feeding efficiency for I-beams in existing technologies, one embodiment of this application provides an I-beam feeding mechanism. This is described in detail below.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an I-beam feeding mechanism includes...

[0049] The feeding seat 1 has a working chamber inside, and the working chamber is provided with a storage chamber, a transfer mechanism 2, a guiding mechanism 3 and an output mechanism 4 in sequence from front to back.

[0050] The storage cavity is suitable for storing I-beams, and the transfer mechanism 2 is suitable for transferring each I-beam in the storage cavity to the guiding mechanism 3. Each I-beam is arranged in an orderly manner in the guiding mechanism 3 and then conveyed to the output mechanism 4. The output mechanism 4 receives each I-beam output from the guiding mechanism 3 and transfers it to the output position.

[0051] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transfer mechanism 2 includes

[0052] The drive shaft 21 and three transfer discs 22 are arranged laterally in the seat cavity. Each transfer disc 22 is fixed on the drive shaft 21. The front side of each transfer disc 22 is located in the storage cavity. Multiple material picking ports for cooperating with I-beams are opened on each transfer disc 22.

[0053] Each material inlet is circumferentially distributed on the transfer plate 22. The drive shaft 21 is driven to rotate by a servo motor. During operation, the drive shaft 21 drives the three transfer plates 22 to rotate synchronously. When the material inlets of the three transfer plates 22 simultaneously engage with an I-beam, the I-beam is driven to leave the storage cavity and enter the guiding mechanism 3. As the transfer plates 22 rotate continuously, the I-beams in the storage cavity are output one after another.

[0054] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the material guiding mechanism 3 includes

[0055] A pair of guide plates are fixed on the inner wall of the working chamber, and straight guide grooves, arc guide grooves and vertical guide grooves are opened on the guide plates;

[0056] A pair of leading blocks 33, wherein an arc-shaped leading surface is formed on the leading blocks 33, the leading blocks 33 are fixed to the front end of the guide plate, and the arc-shaped leading surface is connected to the straight guide groove;

[0057] The I-beams on the transfer plate 22 are guided sequentially into the straight guide groove by the arc-shaped leading surface.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide plate includes an upper guide bar 31 and a lower guide bar 32, and a straight guide groove, an arc guide groove and a vertical guide groove are located between the upper guide bar 31 and the lower guide bar 32. The upper guide bar 31 and the lower guide bar 32 are fixedly set on the working cavity.

[0059] When the I-beam enters the straight guide groove, the I-beam is placed horizontally. Therefore, the height of the guide groove should correspond to the horizontal dimension of the I-beam.

[0060] The I-beam is laid horizontally in the straight guide groove, that is, the I-beam is in the "H" state. After passing through the arc guide groove, it enters the vertical guide groove. At this time, the I-beam is in the upright state in the vertical guide groove, that is, in the "I" state. The upright I-beam finally falls into the slot of the exit platform 43.

[0061] The leading block 33 is located on both sides of the transfer plate 22. When the transfer plate 22 drives the H-beam entering the feeding port to start rotating and moving, the two ends of the H-beam in the feeding port are already in the arc-shaped leading surface of the leading block 33, thus stably guiding the H-beam into the guide plate.

[0062] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the de-departure mechanism 4 includes

[0063] The slide cylinder 41 is fixedly installed in the working chamber;

[0064] The platform 42 is mounted on the slide cylinder 41;

[0065] Multiple exit platforms 43 are provided, each of which is mounted on a base 42 and has a slot for placing I-beams.

[0066] The slide cylinder 41 drives the exit platform 43 to reciprocate between the front and rear positions. When the exit platform 43 moves to the front position, the slot is located below the outlet of the material guiding mechanism 3, causing the I-beam in the material guiding mechanism 3 to fall into the slot. Then the slide cylinder 41 drives the exit platform 43 to the rear position, at which time the I-beam is in the exit position.

[0067] In this embodiment, the storage chamber is a conical silo. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding station 1 includes

[0068] The base plate 11, a pair of side plates 12, and a front guide plate 13 are provided. The two side plates 12 are fixed on both sides of the base plate 11 and the front guide plate 13, respectively. The front guide plate 13 is inclined.

[0069] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the feeding seat 1 is provided with a pair of partitions 14, multiple guide rods and an adjustment mechanism 5;

[0070] The working cavity is formed between the two partitions 14 and the bottom surface of the feeding seat 1;

[0071] The partition 14 cooperates with the guide rod, and the adjustment mechanism 5 drives the two partitions 14 to move in order to adjust the size of the working chamber.

[0072] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes

[0073] A bidirectional lead screw 51, the two ends of which are rotatably engaged with the feed seat 1 via bearings, and the two lead screw parts of the bidirectional lead screw 51 are respectively engaged with two partition plates 14;

[0074] Handwheel 52 is located at the end of the bidirectional lead screw 51.

[0075] The handwheel 52 drives the double-acting screw 51 to rotate. The double-acting screw 51 rotates in both directions, causing the two partitions 14 to move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the size of the working cavity to accommodate I-beams of different lengths.

[0076] In this embodiment, if the two partitions 14 and the adjustment mechanism 5 are not provided, the space formed between the bottom plate 11, the pair of side plates 12 and the front guide plate 13 is the working cavity. At this time, the drive shaft 21 of the transfer mechanism 2 is installed between the two side plates 12. The size of the working cavity is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, after adding two partitions 14 and an adjustment mechanism 5 to the feed seat 1, the working chamber is the space formed between the two partitions 14, the bottom plate 11 and the front guide plate 13.

[0078] like Figure 6 The welding equipment shown in this embodiment has a feeding mechanism installed on one side of the frame. A welding station is located on the frame, where the welding part of the welding machine 7 is positioned. A four-axis robot 6 is mounted on the frame. The four-axis robot 6 uses finger cylinders to remove the I-beams from the output table 43 and place them onto the workpiece, which corresponds to the motor ventilation slot plate 8. This feeding mechanism allows for the orderly output of I-beams, improving the output efficiency and thus enhancing the working efficiency of the welding equipment.

[0079] Working principle of the feeding mechanism:

[0080] Multiple I-beams are placed in the storage chamber. Each I-beam is positioned between two partitions 14 at both ends. The bottom of the I-beam is supported by a front guide plate 13, which is inclined so that it slides automatically toward the transfer tray 22. After the I-beam enters the feeding port of the transfer tray 22, it is fed into the guide groove by the transfer tray 22. The I-beams entering the guide groove are initially horizontal, i.e., in an "H" shape. As they enter the vertical guide groove, they change to an "I" shape. The exit platform 43 receives the falling I-beams at the front position and then sends them to the rear position, i.e., the exit position. The I-beams in the exit position wait to be picked up by the four-axis robot 6.
