Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of H-wheel detection and calibration equipment, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for H-wheels. Background Technology
[0002] Steel cord is the skeleton material of radial tires, mainly used in the production of rubber products such as passenger car tires, light truck tires, heavy-duty truck tires, construction machinery vehicle tires, and aircraft tires. It is a standard raw material for tire manufacturers. H-wheels, as a cord-carrying tool, are used for the movement and transport of semi-finished and finished steel cord windings. After the H-wheel is manufactured, its core dimensional and positional tolerance parameters must be tested to ensure that the errors are within the tolerance range, preventing unstable operation of the H-wheel and thus ensuring proper winding.
[0003] Previously, the detection and calibration of H-wheel parameters relied mainly on manual processing, which was inefficient and inaccurate. The applicant has developed an automatic H-wheel detection and calibration machine to detect and correct the spacing and runout of the two side plates of the H-wheel, and to check whether the circular runout of the H-wheel's central cylinder is within tolerance. The H-wheel is placed on a track, enabling automatic feeding, detection, calibration, and sorting of qualified and defective products. The rational structure of the feeding device improves feeding efficiency and expands the range of applicable models. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic H-wheel feeding device. Two release mechanisms release the H-wheels one by one, resulting in high operating efficiency. The multi-track design is suitable for feeding different models of H-wheels.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The H-wheel automatic feeding device includes a track ramp, a release mechanism, and a receiving plate. The receiving plate is located on the front side of the lower end of the track ramp. The release mechanism is installed on the lower end of the track ramp. The release mechanism includes a first gantry, a second gantry, a first linear actuator, a second linear actuator, a first crossbar, and a second crossbar. The first gantry is located in front of the second gantry. The first and second linear actuators are respectively installed on the crossbeams of the first and second gantry with their telescopic rods pointing downwards. The first and second crossbars are respectively fixed to the bottom ends of the telescopic rods of the first and second linear actuators. The initial height of the first crossbar is lower than the height of the spokes of the H-wheel to be released. The second crossbar is located between the two foremost H-wheels to be released.
[0007] A further improvement is that the initial height of the second crossbar is higher than the height of the spokes of the H-wheel to be released. At the same time, the first linear actuator drives the first crossbar to raise and release the foremost H-wheel, while the second linear actuator drives the second crossbar to lower and prevent the second H-wheel from passing, and the reset is synchronized.
[0008] A further improvement is that the two ends of the first and second crossbars are slidably connected to the vertical members of the first and second gantry frames respectively via guide sleeves or linear bearings.
[0009] A further improvement is to install two or more steel rails longitudinally spaced on the track slope plate to form at least two tracks that can accommodate H-wheels of different axle lengths.
[0010] A further improvement is that the end face of the rail is V-shaped.
[0011] A further improvement is that the end face of the connector plate is V-shaped. Beneficial effects
[0012] This utility model's release mechanism features two blocking mechanisms: the front releases while the rear blocks, and vice versa, releasing the H-wheels one by one in an orderly manner, resulting in high operational efficiency. Furthermore, multiple rails are integrated into the track ramp, forming a multi-track design suitable for feeding various models of H-wheels with different center cylinder lengths. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model includes a track ramp 1, a release mechanism 2, and a receiving plate 3. The receiving plate 3 is located on the lower front side of the track ramp 1. The release mechanism 2 is installed on the lower end of the track ramp 1. The release mechanism 2 includes a first gantry 21, a second gantry 22, a first linear actuator 23 (electric cylinder), a second linear actuator 24 (electric cylinder), a first crossbar 25, and a second crossbar 26. The first gantry 21 is located in front of the second gantry 22. The first linear actuator 23 and the second linear actuator 24 are respectively installed on the crossbars of the first gantry 21 and the second gantry 22 with their telescopic rods pointing downwards. The first crossbar 25 and the second crossbar 26 are respectively fixed to the first linear actuator 23 and the second linear actuator 24. At the bottom of the telescopic rod of the two linear actuators 24, the initial height of the first crossbar 25 is lower than the height of the spokes of the H-wheel to be released, and the initial height of the second crossbar 26 is higher than the height of the spokes of the H-wheel to be released. It is located between the two frontmost H-wheels to be released. The first linear actuator 23 drives the first crossbar 25 to raise and release the frontmost H-wheel into the receiving plate. Simultaneously, the second linear actuator 24 drives the second crossbar 26 to lower and prevent the second H-wheel from passing. The reset is synchronized, that is, the second linear actuator 24 drives the second crossbar 26 to raise and return to its original position, allowing the original second H-wheel to pass. Simultaneously, the first linear actuator 23 drives the first crossbar 25 to lower and return to its original position to block the new frontmost H-wheel from entering the receiving plate, preparing for the next round of operation.
[0015] The two ends of the first crossbar 25 and the second crossbar 26 are slidably connected to the vertical bars of the first gantry 21 and the second gantry 22 through guide sleeves 27 (or linear bearings), making the operation more stable.
[0016] The track ramp 1 is longitudinally spaced with three steel rails 11, forming a track suitable for two specifications of H wheels with different axle lengths. The end faces of the steel rails 11 are V-shaped. The end face of the connecting plate 3 is also V-shaped.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
