Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, and in particular relates to a feeding device for circuit breaker capping. Background Technology

[0002] The circuit breaker cover feeding device is an automated equipment designed specifically for the circuit breaker production and assembly process. Its main function is to automatically transport the materials required for the circuit breaker cover to the assembly station according to the preset posture, rhythm and precision, so as to provide a precise material supply for the assembly of the cover and the circuit breaker body. In the process of circuit breaker production and assembly, in order to ensure the sealing of the connection between the cover and the body, it is usually necessary to install rubber strips at the edge of the end cover to achieve the sealing effect.

[0003] Currently, the feeding devices used in the industry for circuit breaker cover assembly have significant limitations in the rubber strip conveying stage. For example, they can only directionally convey long strips of rubber and cannot precisely cut the rubber strips according to actual assembly requirements. This means that in actual production, after the feeding device conveys the long strips of rubber to the designated position, manual operation is required to cut the rubber strips to the appropriate length for the circuit breaker cover. This manual cutting method is not only cumbersome and increases the complexity of the production process, but also requires additional labor costs. Furthermore, manual operation is inefficient and difficult to match with the pace of automated production lines, severely restricting the overall production efficiency of circuit breaker cover assembly. At the same time, the accuracy of manual cutting is also difficult to guarantee, which may affect the sealing effect of the rubber strips and thus potentially impact the product quality of the circuit breaker. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a feeding device for circuit breaker caps, which aims to solve the problem that existing feeding devices can only directionally convey long strips of rubber, which require manual cutting to the required length, resulting in cumbersome operation, time and labor.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a feeding device for circuit breaker capping, comprising: a support frame, a limiting seat, a feeding plate, a capping rubber strip, a clamping mechanism and a cutting mechanism, wherein the limiting seat is fixed on the support frame, the feeding plate is slidably connected to the limiting seat, and the capping rubber strip is placed inside the feeding plate;

[0006] The clamping mechanism is set on the feeding plate, and the clamping mechanism includes a slot, a guide rod and a clamping plate. The slot is set on the feeding plate, the guide rod is slidably connected to one side of the slot, the clamping plate is fixed to one end of the guide rod, and the sealing rubber strip is located in the slot and is clamped between the clamping plate and the other side of the slot.

[0007] The cutting mechanism is mounted on a support frame and includes a support base, an adjusting plate, a transmission rod, a cutting disc, and a drive assembly. The support base is located on one side of the support frame and above the limiting seat. One end of the adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the support frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support base. The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the support base. The cutting disc is coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod. The adjusting rod is vertically fixed to the bottom of the support base and slidably engaged with the feeding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a driven bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. The driven bevel gear is coaxially fixed to the other end of the transmission rod, and the driven bevel gear is coaxially fixed to the rotating connection end between the adjusting plate and the support seat, and the driven bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh with each other.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a worm gear and a worm, the worm gear being coaxially fixed to the rotating connection end between the adjusting plate and the support frame, and the worm being rotatably connected to the back of the support frame and meshing with the worm gear.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes pulleys, a servo motor, and a belt. The servo motor is fixed to the bottom of the support frame, and the two pulleys are coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor and the worm gear, respectively. The belt is disposed between two adjacent pulleys.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes a push rod and an abutment plate. The push rod is fixed at the center of the clamping plate and is slidably connected to the feeding plate. The abutment plate is fixed on the side of the limiting seat near the push rod and has an inclined surface on the side wall of the abutment plate. The end of the push rod away from the clamping plate slides against the inclined surface.

[0012] Preferably, the push rod is provided with a protrusion, and a return spring is sleeved on the outside of the push rod. One end of the return spring abuts against the protrusion, and the other end abuts against the feeding plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0014] This solution incorporates a clamping mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The clamping mechanism, through the cooperation of the clamping plate and push rod with the abutment plate, allows the feeding plate to independently adjust the clamping and loosening of the sealing rubber strip while reciprocating, thus achieving directional conveying of the sealing rubber strip. The rotation of the adjusting plate in the cutting mechanism drives the support seat to perform eccentric circular motion, which in turn drives the feeding plate to reciprocate. Simultaneously, the adjusting plate drives the driven bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the passive bevel gear to mesh and engage, enabling the transmission rod to drive the cutting disc to rotate, thereby achieving the cutting of the sealing rubber strip. The integrated system enables directional conveying and precise length cutting of rubber strips, eliminating manual cutting and increasing automation. The inclined surfaces in the clamping mechanism allow for automatic locking and disengagement of the clamps, ensuring stable positioning of the rubber strip during conveying and preventing slippage that could affect cutting accuracy. The coordinated operation of gear drive and gear set transmission ensures synchronization of eccentric linkage, reciprocating sliding, and cutting actions, achieving consistent length cutting, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality stability, reducing labor costs and intensity, and adapting to the needs of large-scale production.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a feeding device for circuit breaker capping, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes: support frame 1, limit seat 2, feeding plate 3, sealing rubber strip 4, clamping mechanism 5 and cutting mechanism 6. The limit seat 2 is fixed on the support frame 1, the feeding plate 3 is slidably connected to the limit seat 2, and the sealing rubber strip 4 is placed inside the feeding plate 3.

[0023] The clamping mechanism 5 is set on the feeding plate 3, and the clamping mechanism 5 includes a slot 51, a guide rod 52 and a clamping plate 53. The slot 51 is set on the feeding plate 3, the guide rod 52 is slidably connected to one side of the slot 51, the clamping plate 53 is fixed to one end of the guide rod 52, and the sealing rubber strip 4 is located in the slot 51 and is clamped between the clamping plate 53 and the other side of the slot 51.

[0024] The cutting mechanism 6 is mounted on the support frame 1. The cutting mechanism 6 includes a support seat 61, an adjusting plate 62, a transmission rod 63, a cutting disc 64, an adjusting rod 65, and a drive assembly. The support seat 61 is located on one side of the support frame 1 and above the limiting seat 2. One end of the adjusting plate 62 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support seat 61. The transmission rod 63 is rotatably connected to the support seat 61. The cutting disc 64 is coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod 63. The adjusting rod 65 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the support seat 61 and is slidably engaged with the feeding plate 3.

[0025] The drive assembly includes a driven bevel gear 66 and a driven bevel gear 67. The driven bevel gear 66 is coaxially fixed to the other end of the transmission rod 63, and the driven bevel gear 67 is coaxially fixed to the rotating connection end of the adjusting plate 62 and the support 61, and the driven bevel gear 66 and the driven bevel gear 67 mesh with each other.

[0026] The clamping mechanism 5 also includes a push rod 54 and an abutment plate 55. The push rod 54 is fixed at the center of the clamping plate 53 and is slidably connected to the feeding plate 3. The abutment plate 55 is fixed on the side of the limiting seat 2 near the push rod 54 and has an inclined surface on the side wall of the abutment plate 55. The end of the push rod 54 away from the clamping plate 53 slides against the inclined surface.

[0027] It should be noted that the existing feeding devices used in circuit breaker cover assembly have significant limitations in the rubber strip conveying stage. For example, they can only directionally convey long strips of rubber and cannot precisely cut the rubber strips according to actual assembly requirements. This means that in actual production, after the feeding device conveys the long strips of rubber to the designated position, manual operation is required to cut the rubber strips to the appropriate length for the circuit breaker cover. To solve this problem, this solution includes a clamping mechanism 5 and a cutting mechanism 6. Through the cooperation of the clamping plate 53 and push rod 54 in the clamping mechanism 5 with the abutment plate 55, the feeding plate 3 can independently adjust the clamping and loosening of the clamping plate 53 on the cover rubber strip 4 while reciprocating and sliding, thus achieving directional conveying of the cover rubber strip 4. The rotation of the adjusting plate 62 in the cutting mechanism 6 drives the bearing... The support 61 performs a circumferential eccentric motion, which in turn drives the feeding plate 3 to reciprocate. At the same time, the adjusting plate 62 drives the driven bevel gear 67 to rotate, which in turn drives the passive bevel gear 66 to mesh and link together. This allows the transmission rod 63 to drive the cutting disc 64 to rotate, achieving the cutting effect on the sealing rubber strip 4. This integrated system realizes the directional conveying and precise length cutting of the rubber strip, eliminating the manual cutting step and improving the degree of automation. The inclined surface in the clamping mechanism 5 allows the clamping plate 53 to automatically lock and separate, ensuring the stable positioning of the rubber strip during the conveying process and avoiding slippage deviation that affects the cutting accuracy. The coordinated cooperation of the gear drive and gear group transmission ensures the synchronization of the eccentric linkage, reciprocating sliding and cutting actions, achieving consistency in length cutting, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality stability, reducing labor costs and labor intensity, and adapting to the needs of large-scale production.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the solution mainly includes a support frame 1, a limiting seat 2, a feeding plate 3, a sealing rubber strip 4, a clamping mechanism 5, and a cutting mechanism 6. In use, the sealing rubber strip 4 is first placed in the slot 51, and then the worm gear 69 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 611 and the belt 612. At this time, the worm wheel 68 engages and drives the adjusting plate 62 to rotate. The adjusting plate 62 drives the support seat 61 to make a circumferential eccentric motion. At this time, the adjusting rod 65 slides on the feeding plate 3 and drives the feeding plate 3 to reciprocate within the limiting seat 2. At the same time, the adjusting plate 62 drives the driven bevel gear 67 to rotate and drives the passive bevel gear 66 to engage and link, thereby enabling the transmission rod 63 to drive the cutting blade 64 to rotate, thus achieving the cutting effect on the sealing rubber strip 4.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the drive assembly also includes a worm gear 68 and a worm 69. The worm gear 68 is coaxially fixed on the adjusting plate 62 and the rotating connection end of the support frame 1. The worm 69 is rotatably connected to the back of the support frame 1 and meshes with the worm gear 68. The drive assembly also includes a pulley 610, a servo motor 611 and a belt 612. The servo motor 611 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 1. The two pulleys 610 are coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the servo motor 611 and the worm 69, respectively. The belt 612 is disposed between two adjacent pulleys 610.

[0030] In this embodiment, the worm 69 is made to rotate synchronously with the servo motor 611 by the belt 612, and the worm wheel 68 is driven to mesh and link together. At the same time, the combination of the worm wheel 68 and the worm 69 forms a self-locking structure to prevent the support seat 61 from moving in the opposite direction.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a protrusion is provided on the push rod 54, and a return spring 56 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 54. One end of the return spring 56 abuts against the protrusion, and the other end abuts against the feeding plate 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the push rod 54 is slid by the reset spring 56, thereby enabling the clamping plate 53 to quickly separate from the sealing rubber strip 4.
