Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cam dividing equipment technology, and in particular to a cam divider that can automatically level. Background Technology
[0002] A cam divider is a precision mechanical mechanism that enables intermittent motion. It can convert continuous input motion (usually rotary motion) into intermittent output motion. With its high positioning accuracy and stable mechanical performance, it is widely used in automated equipment.
[0003] In the prior art, utility model patent CN215410109U discloses a cam divider, including a cam divider body. The outer wall of the cam divider has a filling port, and the inner wall of the cam divider is integrally formed with an oil distribution groove communicating with the filling port. Two symmetrically arranged pressure plates are slidably installed inside the oil distribution groove. The inner wall of the filling port has two symmetrically arranged movable holes along its radial direction. A stress plate is hinged inside the movable holes. The end of the stress plate away from the filling port is hinged to the side of the pressure plate via a connecting rod. Multiple oil distribution holes are formed on the bottom side wall of the oil distribution groove. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge point of the stress plate inside the movable holes, and both ends of the torsion spring are fixed to the inner wall of the movable holes and the side of the stress plate, respectively. The end of the stress plate away from the connecting rod extends into the interior of the filling port. Through the combined use of the above devices, it is possible to effectively prevent lubricating oil from adhering to the walls inside the cam divider and to effectively eliminate lubrication dead zones inside the cam divider.
[0004] However, if such cam dividers without automatic leveling mechanisms are applied to mobile scenarios such as vehicle-mounted or outdoor inspection devices, the following problems may arise: the equipment may tilt in real time due to parking slopes or road bumps (e.g., when a vehicle is parked on a slope), requiring manual leveling by placing materials at the lower level. This adjustment method is not only cumbersome and slow, but also prone to errors due to uneven material thickness, making it difficult to quickly respond and maintain the horizontal state of the output end. In scenarios requiring high precision alignment, such as outdoor material sorting, levelness deviations will directly lead to workpiece positioning misalignment and uneven mechanical transmission forces. Long-term accumulated tilting stress will also exacerbate abnormal wear of core components such as cams and dividing wheels, shortening the equipment's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs, thus necessitating improvements. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatically leveling cam divider to solve the aforementioned technical problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatically leveling cam divider, comprising a cam divider body, a connecting plate mounted below the cam divider body, an angle sensor mounted above the connecting plate, a convex plate rotatably mounted below the connecting plate via a rotating shaft, a frame plate mounted above the convex plate, a threaded seat rotatably mounted inside the frame plate, a worm gear mounted on the threaded seat, a worm engaging laterally with the worm gear, a motor mounted on the frame plate, a stud slidably mounted vertically inside the frame plate, a spherical head mounted below the stud, a spherical seat hinged below the spherical head, a slider mounted below the convex plate, a bolt mounted on the slider, a locking nut threaded onto the bolt, an annular plate mounted below the connecting plate, and an arc-shaped groove plate mounted on the annular plate.
[0007] Preferably, the worm gear is installed at the output end of the motor, and the threaded seat coincides with the axis of the worm wheel.
[0008] Preferably, the stud is provided with a vertical groove, and the frame plate is provided with a protrusion structure that matches the groove, the protrusion structure being slidably disposed in the groove.
[0009] Preferably, the threaded seat and the stud are connected by a thread, and the connecting plate is provided with a storage groove.
[0010] Preferably, the slider is slidably mounted inside the arc-shaped groove plate, and the bolt is disposed inside the arc-shaped groove plate.
[0011] Preferably, a dovetail groove is provided below the spherical seat, a matching dovetail block is inserted into the dovetail groove, a pad is installed below the dovetail block, and sleeves are threadedly connected to the pad and the spherical seat respectively.
[0012] Preferably, a dovetail groove is also provided below the pad block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. Equipped with an automatic leveling mechanism, the motor operates in conjunction with a tilt sensor, and the worm gear adjusts the height of the four sets of studs in real time, enabling rapid and precise leveling of the cam divider. Simultaneously, the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear effectively prevents the lower studs from loosening or tilting due to vibration or other factors, ensuring long-term stability of the leveled state. Furthermore, when the equipment is not in use, the leveling mechanism can be retracted to the bottom, significantly reducing space occupation, making it particularly suitable for mobile scenarios such as vehicle-mounted and outdoor testing devices where both space and stability are critical.
[0015] 2. Equipped with modular connecting blocks, even in situations where outdoor ground elevation differences are significant (exceeding the adjustment range of the studs), the height difference with the higher ground side can be quickly compensated by stacking modular blocks. Compared to the traditional method of directly placing scattered blocks under the equipment, this modular connection structure is not only more stable but also effectively prevents the blocks from shifting or tilting due to vibrations of the equipment itself during operation, resulting in high stability.

[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] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides an automatically leveling cam divider, including a cam divider body 1, a connecting plate 2 installed below the cam divider body 1, an angle sensor 3 installed above the connecting plate 2, a convex plate 4 rotatably installed below the connecting plate 2 via a rotating shaft, a frame plate 5 installed above the convex plate 4, a threaded seat 9 rotatably installed inside the frame plate 5, a worm gear 6 installed on the threaded seat 9, a worm 8 meshing laterally with the worm gear 6, a motor 7 installed on the frame plate 5, a stud 10 slidably installed in the vertical direction inside the frame plate 5, a spherical head 11 installed below the stud 10, a spherical seat 12 hinged to the spherical head 11 below the spherical head 11, a slider 13 installed below the convex plate 4, a bolt 14 installed on the slider 13, a locking nut 15 threadedly connected to the bolt 14, an annular plate 16 installed below the connecting plate 2, and an arc-shaped groove plate 17 installed on the annular plate 16.
[0024] Furthermore, the worm 8 is installed at the output end of the motor 7, and the threaded seat 9 coincides with the axis of the worm wheel 6. The tilt sensor 3 transmits the signal to the control system and drives the motor 7 to start. The worm 8 at the output end of the motor 7 meshes with the worm wheel 6, and under the meshing action, the worm wheel 6 drives the threaded seat 9 to rotate synchronously.
[0025] Furthermore, the stud 10 is provided with a vertical groove, and the frame plate 5 is equipped with a protrusion structure that matches the groove. The protrusion structure is slidably disposed within the groove. The stud 10 slides up and down along the protrusion structure within the frame plate 5, thus serving a guiding function.
[0026] Furthermore, the threaded seat 9 and the stud 10 are connected by threads, and the connecting plate 2 is provided with a receiving groove 18. Since the threaded seat 9 and the stud 10 are connected by threads, the stud 10 slides up and down along the protrusion structure inside the frame plate 5 under the transmission action of the threads.
[0027] Furthermore, the slider 13 is slidably installed in the arc-shaped groove plate 17, and the bolt 14 is set in the arc-shaped groove plate 17. When the equipment is idle, the protruding plate 4 is moved and the slider 13 below slides along the arc-shaped groove plate 17 on the ring plate 16, so that the stud 10 can be stored in the storage groove 18 of the connecting plate 2.
[0028] Furthermore, a dovetail groove 19 is provided below the spherical seat 12, and a matching dovetail block 21 is inserted into the dovetail groove 19. A pad block 22 is installed below the dovetail block 21, and sleeves 20 are threadedly connected to the pad block 22 and the spherical seat 12, respectively. In this modular connection method, the fitting structure of the dovetail block 21 and the dovetail groove 19 can restrict the lateral movement of the pad block 22, while the locking effect of the sleeve 20 ensures a stable longitudinal connection.
[0029] Furthermore, a dovetail groove 19 is also provided below the pad 22. The height can be increased by stacking the pads 22. The dovetail groove 19 of the lower pad 22 corresponds to the dovetail block 21 of the upper pad 22. The adjacent pads 22 are fixed by rotating the sleeve 20.
[0030] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During leveling, the tilt sensor 3 above the connecting plate 2 monitors the levelness of the cam divider body 1 in real time. If a levelness deviation is detected, the tilt sensor 3 transmits a signal to the control system and drives the motor 7 to start. The worm 8 at the output end of the motor 7 meshes with the worm wheel 6. Under the meshing action, the worm wheel 6 drives the threaded seat 9 to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded seat 9 and the stud 10 are connected by threads, under the transmission action of the threads, the stud 10 slides up and down along the protrusion structure in the frame plate 5, thereby adjusting the height of the cam divider body 1 to correct the level deviation. During this process, the spherical head 11 below the stud 10 rotates flexibly in the spherical seat 12 and adapts to the angle changes during the leveling process, ensuring the smoothness of the height adjustment. At the same time, because the meshing of the worm wheel 6 and the worm 8 has a self-locking characteristic, the threaded seat 9 will not rotate in the opposite direction, which can effectively prevent the stud 10 from loosening or shifting in height due to vibration and other factors, ensuring the stability of the leveling state. When the equipment is idle, move the convex plate 4 to move the slider 13 below along the arc-shaped groove plate 17 on the ring plate 16 until the stud 10 is stored in the storage groove 18 of the connecting plate 2. At this time, tighten the locking nut 15 on the bolt 14 to apply a top fixing force to the arc-shaped groove plate 17 and fix the slider 13 in the arc-shaped groove plate 17, thus completing the locking and reducing space occupation. If the difference in outdoor ground terrain exceeds the adjustment range of the stud 10, it is necessary to use the shim 22 to assist in leveling. First, insert the dovetail block 21 of the pad 22 into the dovetail groove 19 below the spherical seat 12. Then, rotate the sleeve 20 to fit it onto the dovetail block 21, thus ensuring that the pad 22 is tightly fixed to the spherical seat 12. The pads 22 can be stacked to increase the height. The dovetail groove 19 of the lower pad 22 corresponds to the dovetail block 21 of the upper pad 22. Similarly, the adjacent pads 22 are fixed by rotating the sleeve 20. Even if the equipment vibrates during operation, the pads 22 will not shift or tilt, thus providing a stable foundation for the height adjustment of the stud 10. In conjunction with the automatic leveling mechanism, horizontal calibration is achieved in steep slope scenarios.
