Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of CDC vibration damper piston rod technology, specifically a feeding device for the production of CDC vibration damper piston rods. Background Technology

[0002] The piston rod of the CDC shock absorber is the core moving component of the continuous damping control shock absorber. Its performance directly affects the shock absorber's response speed, sealing performance, and durability. The piston rod production requires steps such as turning, grinding, drilling, chrome plating, and polishing. During the processing, the piston rod needs to be fed into the machine.

[0003] Existing feeding devices include a vibratory feeder, a linear feeder, a orientation / separation mechanism, and a gripping mechanism. The piston rod rolls and slides within the vibratory feeder and linear guide rail, which easily causes surface scratches. Even with flexible linings (such as polyurethane or nylon), the risk still exists. Conveyor belts / chain plates, separation and positioning fixtures, and lifting / gripping mechanisms require manual or other equipment for initial neat arrangement, occupying relatively large space. Existing piston rod feeding is mostly done manually or via conveyor belts and mechanical clamping. Manual feeding is inefficient, and mechanical feeding may damage the piston rod surface, making it inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a feeding device for the production of piston rods for CDC dampers to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a feeding device for the production of piston rods for CDC vibration dampers, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where the existing piston rod feeding is mostly done manually or by conveyor belt and mechanical clamping. Manual feeding is inefficient, and mechanical conveying and clamping may damage the piston rod surface and is inconvenient to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for the production of CDC vibration damper piston rods, the feeding device for the production of CDC vibration damper piston rods including a feeding mechanism;

[0007] To address the issues of existing piston rod feeding methods that rely on manual labor or conveyor belts with mechanical clamping (which are inefficient and can damage the piston rod surface), the proposed feeding mechanism includes a feeding box. An inclined plate is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the feeding box. A discharge port is located at the bottom side of the feeding box, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the center of the discharge port. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box, and its output extends into the box and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. Multiple sets of partitions are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod. The plate, with soft pads fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple sets of partition plates, places the piston rod inside the feeding box. The servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple sets of external partition plates to rotate. When the partition plates are horizontal, their height is the same as the ground height of the inclined plate, which facilitates the piston rod to roll between the two sets of partition plates. The soft pads on the sides of the partition plates protect the piston rod surface from damage. The rotating rod drives the partition plates to rotate, allowing the piston rod to be discharged through the discharge port. This facilitates feeding during piston rod production, and the operation is simple, quick, and convenient.

[0008] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of convenient feeding, the multiple sets of partition plates are arranged in a circular array, and the rotation diameter of the partition plates is adapted to the height of the discharge port. The circular array of partition plates can facilitate the piston rod to roll between the two sets of partition plates, and the rotation diameter of the partition plates is adapted to the height of the discharge port, thereby facilitating the feeding of the piston rod.

[0009] Preferably, to address the issue of convenient movement and lifting during the feeding process, the feeding mechanism further includes a guide rail. A sliding block is mounted on the outside of the guide rail. A linear motor is mounted on one side of the sliding block. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block. An operating frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the operating frame. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor extending into the interior of the operating frame. A lifting block is mounted on the outside of the threaded rod. One side of the lifting block is fixedly connected to the feeding box. The linear motor drives the sliding block to move within the guide rail, which in turn drives the servo motor to move. The servo motor then rotates the operating frame. The servo motor at the top of the operating frame drives the threaded rod to rotate within the operating frame. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the lifting block, thus causing the lifting block to slide within the operating frame due to force. The lifting block then moves the feeding box located on the side. This design conveniently meets different user needs, offering simple, quick, and easy operation.

[0010] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of convenient movement of the sliding block, the sliding block is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the linear motor is electrically connected to the sliding block. The slidable connection between the sliding block and the guide rail can improve the stability of the sliding block's movement, and the electrical connection between the linear motor and the sliding block facilitates the movement of the sliding block.

[0011] Preferably, to solve the problem of convenient lifting of the lifting block, the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the operating frame, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the lifting block, and limit blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting block. The limit blocks are set inside the slots on both sides of the operating frame, and the limit blocks are slidably connected to the operating frame. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the lifting block, so that the lifting block is driven by force to slide the limit blocks inside the slots on both sides of the operating frame, thereby facilitating the lifting of the lifting block and making it convenient to use.

[0012] This feeding mechanism places the piston rod inside the feeding box. A servo motor drives a rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of externally mounted partitions to rotate. When the partitions are horizontal, their height is the same as the ground level of the inclined plate, facilitating the piston rod to roll between the two sets of partitions. Soft pads on the sides of the partitions protect the piston rod surface from damage. The rotating rod drives the partitions to rotate, allowing the piston rod to be discharged through the outlet. This facilitates feeding during piston rod production, and the operation is simple, quick, and convenient.

[0013] This feeding mechanism uses a linear motor to drive a sliding block to move inside a guide rail. The sliding block then drives a servo motor to move, which in turn drives the operating frame to rotate. A second servo motor located on the top of the operating frame drives a threaded rod to rotate inside the frame. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to a lifting block, which in turn causes the lifting block to slide inside the operating frame due to the force applied to it. The lifting block then moves the feeding box located on the side. This mechanism can easily meet different user needs, and is simple, quick, and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a feeding device for the production of CDC vibration damper piston rods, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the feeding device for the production of CDC vibration damper piston rods includes a feeding mechanism 1.

[0023] The feeding mechanism 1 facilitates the feeding of piston rods during production, making it simple, quick, and easy to use.

[0024] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding box 20, an inclined plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the feeding box 20, a discharge port 22 is opened at the bottom side of the feeding box 20, a rotating rod 23 is rotatably connected at the center of the discharge port 22, a servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box 20, the output end of the servo motor 24 extends into the inside of the feeding box 20 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 23, and multiple sets of partition plates 25 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 23, and soft pads 26 are fixedly connected to both sides of the multiple sets of partition plates 25.

[0025] In use, the piston rod is placed inside the feeding box 20. The servo motor 24 drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple sets of externally mounted partition plates 25 to rotate. When the partition plates 25 are horizontal, their height is the same as the ground height of the inclined plate 21, facilitating the piston rod's rolling between the two sets of partition plates 25. The soft pads 26 on the sides of the partition plates 25 protect the piston rod surface from damage. The piston rod is discharged through the discharge port 22 by the rotating rod 23 driving the partition plates 25 to rotate. To facilitate feeding during piston rod production, the operation is simple, quick, and convenient. There are four sets of partition plates 25, each with a width of 1.2-1.5 times the piston rod diameter, ensuring that only one piston rod can be accommodated at a time. The soft pads 26 are made of polyurethane or silicone material with a thickness of 3-5mm and are fixed to both sides of the partition plates by adhesive bonding to avoid scratching the piston rod surface. The inclined plate 21 has an angle of 15°-25° with the horizontal plane to ensure that the piston rod rolls smoothly into the gap of the partition plates 25 by gravity. The surface of the inclined plate 21 is covered with a nylon coating or polished to reduce frictional resistance.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple sets of partition plates 25 are arranged in a circular array, and the rotation diameter of the partition plates 25 is adapted to the height of the discharge port 22. The circular array of partition plates 25 facilitates the piston rod to roll between the two sets of partition plates 25, and the adaptation of the rotation diameter of the partition plates 25 to the height of the discharge port 22 facilitates the feeding of the piston rod. The servo motor 24 pauses once every 90° rotation, so that the partition plates 25 remain in the horizontal position for 2 to 3 seconds, ensuring that the piston rod fully enters the gap. The height of the discharge port 22 is 1.1 times the rotation diameter of the partition plates 25 to avoid piston rod jamming.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Unlike Embodiment 1, in order to solve the problem of convenient movement and lifting during the feeding process, the feeding mechanism 1 also includes a guide rail 11. A sliding block 12 is provided on the outside of the guide rail 11. A linear motor 13 is provided on one side of the sliding block 12. A servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 12. An operating frame 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 14. A servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the operating frame 15. A threaded rod 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 16 extending into the inside of the operating frame 15. A lifting block 18 is provided on the outside of the threaded rod 17. One side of the lifting block 18 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 20.

[0029] In use, the linear motor 13 drives the sliding block 12 to move inside the guide rail 11. The sliding block 12 drives the servo motor 14 to move, and the servo motor 14 drives the operating frame 15 to rotate. The servo motor 16 on the top of the operating frame 15 drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate inside the operating frame 15. The threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the lifting block 18, so that the lifting block 18 is subjected to force to drive the limit blocks 19 on both sides to slide inside the operating frame 15. The lifting block 18 drives the feeding box 20 on the side to move, thus conveniently meeting the different needs of users. The operation is simple, quick and easy.

[0030] Specifically, the sliding block 12 is slidably connected to the guide rail 11, and the linear motor 13 is electrically connected to the sliding block 12. The sliding connection between the sliding block 12 and the guide rail 11 can improve the stability of the movement of the sliding block 12, and the electrical connection between the linear motor 13 and the sliding block 12 facilitates the movement of the sliding block 12.

[0031] Furthermore, the threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the operating frame 15, and the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the lifting block 18. Limiting blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting block 18. The limiting blocks 19 are set inside the slots on both sides of the operating frame 15, and the limiting blocks 19 are slidably connected to the operating frame 15. The threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the lifting block 18, so that the lifting block 18 is driven by force to slide the limiting blocks 19 inside the slots on both sides of the operating frame 15, thereby facilitating the lifting of the lifting block 18 and making it convenient to use.

[0032] It should be noted that the linear motor 13, servo motor 14, servo motor 16, and rotating rod 23 are existing devices, and their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
