Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gearbox processing and conveying equipment, specifically to a gearbox processing and conveying device with emergency stop capability. Background Technology
[0002] During gearbox manufacturing, the gearbox housing is transferred using a clamping mechanism that holds it with a conveyor, allowing it to be moved to different workstations for processing. For the sake of flexibility in transfer, existing technology does not use conveyor belts or other unified transportation equipment. Instead, the clamping mechanism is slidably installed in a chute for workers to slide freely. However, multiple clamping mechanisms are slidably installed in the chute. Since most gearboxes weigh more than 50 kilograms, their inertia during free sliding is large, making it difficult to stop manually and impossible to position them in time. Furthermore, they are prone to colliding with other clamping mechanisms, causing damage to the gearbox and the clamping mechanisms. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gearbox processing and conveying device with emergency stop capability to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gearbox processing and conveying device with emergency stop capability, comprising: a clamping mechanism, a connecting column fixedly connected to the lower part of the clamping mechanism, a sliding base fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column, the sliding base being slidably disposed within a slide rail, an electromagnet fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding base, a triggering component fixedly connected to the side of the connecting column, a pressure sensor disposed within the triggering component, and a control component disposed within the connecting column. By controlling the force applied to the triggering component, the pressure sensor receives different degrees of compressive force and transmits the signal to the control component for analysis and control of the electromagnet to generate different magnitudes of magnetic attraction force on the slide rail.
[0005] Furthermore, the control component includes a PCB control board, which is electrically connected to a pressure sensor and an electromagnet, and is electrically connected to a microcontroller mounted on the inner wall of the connecting column.
[0006] Furthermore, an inspection port is provided on the connecting column, and the inspection port is sealed by an inspection cover that is detachably connected to the side of the connecting column. The inspection port is located on the side of the microcontroller and the PCB control board.
[0007] Furthermore, a wire clip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting column, and the wire clip limits the wire to the wall.
[0008] Furthermore, the triggering component includes a grip, which is detachably connected to the side of the connecting post by screws. A groove is provided inside the grip, and a slider is slidably disposed in the groove. The slider is connected to the inner wall of the groove by two springs.
[0009] Furthermore, a stop block is threadedly connected to the center of the slider, and the pressure sensor is installed on the inner wall of the groove directly above the stop block.
[0010] Furthermore, limit blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider.
[0011] Furthermore, a light sensor is provided at the bottom of the sliding base, and the light sensor is electrically connected to the PCB control board. A lens is embedded in the inner wall of the slide rail at the corresponding work position.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the sliding base has two grooves symmetrically arranged on both sides of the electromagnet, and two first rollers are rotatably arranged in the grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, the sliding base is fixedly connected to symmetrically arranged side wings on both sides, and two second rollers are rotatably provided at the bottom of the side wings.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the gearbox processing and conveying device with emergency stop capability provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model allows workers to push the equipment to the next workstation by gripping a trigger component. The strength of the electromagnet's magnetic force is controlled by the gripping force of the trigger component, which in turn changes the magnetic attraction force on the slide rail. When the equipment begins to approach the next workstation, the trigger component is lightly gripped, creating a magnetic attraction force between the electromagnet and the slide rail, which slows down the movement of the equipment. After the equipment reaches the designated workstation, the trigger component is gripped more firmly, stopping and positioning the equipment. This avoids the huge inertial force that would cause the equipment to stop suddenly when it is sliding freely, optimizes the equipment transfer process, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0016] 2. By using a light sensor in conjunction with a lens, when the equipment moves to the next station, the light sensor receives strong light reflected back from the lens. The microcontroller sends a command to the PCB control board, which greatly strengthens the magnetic force of the electromagnet, thereby causing the equipment to stop and be positioned due to greater resistance.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-5A gearbox processing and conveying device with emergency stop capability includes: a clamping mechanism 1, a connecting column 3 fixedly connected to the lower part of the clamping mechanism 1, a gearbox housing 2 clamped inside the clamping mechanism 1, a sliding base 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 3, the sliding base 4 being slidably disposed within a slide rail 12, the slide rail 12 being made of ferrous material, an electromagnet 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding base 4, a triggering component 6 fixedly connected to the side of the connecting column 3, a pressure sensor 10 disposed within the triggering component 6, and a control component disposed within the connecting column 3. By controlling the force applied to the triggering component 6, the pressure sensor 10 receives different degrees of compressive force and transmits the signal to the control component for analysis and control of the electromagnet 7 to generate different magnitudes of magnetic attraction force on the slide rail 12.
[0029] Specifically, this invention allows workers to push the equipment to the next workstation by gripping the trigger component 6. The strength of the grip on the trigger component 6 controls the magnetic force of the electromagnet 7, thereby changing the magnetic attraction force on the slide rail 12. When the equipment begins to approach the next workstation, a light grip on the trigger component 6 creates a magnetic attraction force between the electromagnet 7 and the slide rail 12, which slows down the movement of the equipment. After the equipment reaches the designated workstation, a firm grip on the trigger component 6 stops the equipment and positions it. This avoids the huge inertial force that would cause the equipment to stop suddenly when it is sliding freely, optimizes the equipment transfer process, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0030] Furthermore, the control components include a PCB control board 9, which is electrically connected to a pressure sensor 10 and an electromagnet 7. The pressure sensor 10 is a strain gauge pressure sensor. The PCB control board 9 is electrically connected to a microcontroller 8 mounted on the inner wall of the connecting column 3. A light sensor 11 is provided at the bottom of the sliding base 4. The light sensor 11 is a reflective photoelectric sensor and is electrically connected to the PCB control board 9. A lens 13 is embedded in the inner wall of the slide rail 12 at the corresponding work position.
[0031] Specifically, the following instructions are embedded in the microcontroller:
[0032] 1. The pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 10 is directly proportional to the current value input into the electromagnet 7;
[0033] 2. When the light sensor 11 receives strong light, the current value input to the electromagnet 7 is maximized;
[0034] 3. When the microcontroller 8 receives a signal from the pressure sensor 10 that the pressure is greater than the set pressure value for 5 seconds, the light sensor 11 will stop working for 10 seconds.
[0035] By embedding the above instructions into the microcontroller 8, the force exerted by the gripping trigger component 6 is converted into the pressure value of the pressure sensor 10. This pressure signal is then converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the PCB control board 9 for analysis and processing before being input back to the microcontroller 8. Based on the instructions set within the microcontroller 8, the PCB control board 9 is fed back to control the current entering the electromagnet 7, thereby adjusting the magnetic force of the electromagnet 7. When the equipment slides along the slide rail 12 via the sliding base 4, the force exerted by the gripping trigger component 6 adjusts the resistance of the electromagnet 7 to the equipment's movement, thus achieving timely deceleration. When the equipment moves to the next station, the light emitted by the light sensor 11 is reflected by the lens 1. 3. Reflection: After receiving strong light, the light sensor 11 converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the PCB control board 9 for analysis and processing before inputting it to the microcontroller 8. The microcontroller 8 sends a command back to the PCB control board 9, which then controls the current entering the electromagnet 7 to reach the set maximum value, so that the sliding base 4 is positioned on the workstation. When it is necessary to continue moving the equipment, after gripping the trigger component for 65 seconds, the pressure signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the PCB control board 9 for analysis and processing before inputting it to the microcontroller 8. The microcontroller 8 sends a command back to the PCB control board 9, which controls the light sensor 11 to stop working for 10 seconds, thereby releasing the equipment from the positioning state.
[0036] Furthermore, an inspection port 311 is provided on the connecting column 3. The inspection port 311 is sealed by an inspection cover 31 that is detachably connected to the side of the connecting column 3. The inspection port 311 is located on one side of the microcontroller 8 and the PCB control board 9.
[0037] Specifically, the inspection port 311 is the equipment inspection port, through which the internal components of the connecting column 3 are installed and inspected.
[0038] Furthermore, a wire clip 99 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting column 3, which limits the wire to the wall.
[0039] Specifically, the line card 99 limits the wire connecting the pressure sensor 10 and the PCB control board 9, reducing the pressure of the wire's own weight on the connectors at both ends, while making the wire layout clear and easy to maintain.
[0040] Furthermore, the trigger component 6 includes a handle 61, which is detachably connected to the side of the connecting post 3 by screws. A groove 62 is provided inside the handle 61, and a slider 63 is slidably disposed in the groove 62. The slider 63 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 62 by two springs 65. A stop block 64 is threadedly connected to the center of the slider 63. The pressure sensor 10 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 62 directly above the stop block 64. Limit blocks 631 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 63.
[0041] Specifically, under normal conditions, the slider 63 is pressed against the inner wall of the slide groove 62 by the limit block 631 under the elastic force of the spring 65. When it is necessary to control the magnetic force of the electromagnet 7, the gripping force of the slider 63 can be changed.
[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the sliding base 4 has two grooves 41 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the electromagnet 7. Two first rollers 42 are rotatably arranged in the grooves 41. The two sides of the sliding base 4 are fixedly connected to symmetrically arranged side wings 5. Two second rollers 51 are rotatably arranged at the bottom of the side wings 5.
[0043] Specifically, the four first rollers 42 are set up for the stability of the sliding base 4 and to make the friction between the equipment and the slide rail 12 rolling friction when the equipment is transferred. The outer side of the second roller 51 extends the side wing 5 so that the second roller 51 contacts the side of the slide rail 12, making the equipment transfer easier.
[0044] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
