Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection devices, specifically to a device for improving the collection efficiency of rearview mirror brackets. Background Technology

[0002] The rearview mirror bracket is used to mount the rearview mirror on motorcycles and electric vehicles. During the manufacturing process, the bracket undergoes turning, thread rolling, flattening, and bending. The thread rolling process involves pressing the turned bracket into threaded sections, resulting in a bracket that is larger at one end and smaller at the other (one end is lighter than the other). The automated thread rolling equipment purchased by the applicant initially has a collection tray on its worktable. After thread rolling, the bracket is automatically transferred to the collection tray. However, a problem exists in its use: the collection tray is shallow and has a small capacity. Approximately every 10 minutes, workers need to move the brackets from the tray. Even slight delays cause the brackets to roll out, requiring special attention from workers and thus increasing labor costs.

[0003] To reduce labor costs, the applicant replaced the collection tray with a larger capacity collection box to reduce the frequency of bracket transfer. However, it was found that due to the large weight difference between the two ends of the bracket, the brackets were mixed up after falling into the collection box, and the large or small ends of each bracket did not correspond. This meant that the direction of the mismatched brackets needed to be adjusted in the next processing stage, which actually increased labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a device to improve the efficiency of rearview mirror bracket collection, thereby reducing the labor cost of bracket collection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a device for improving the collection efficiency of rearview mirror brackets, comprising a collection box and the width of the collection box being between 1 and 1.3 times the length of the bracket. The collection box is provided with a flow guiding mechanism and an anti-disorder mechanism to prevent the bracket from rolling randomly within the collection box. The flow guiding mechanism includes a flow guiding plate arranged along the width direction of the collection box. The flow guiding plate is inclined and forms a channel for the bracket to pass through between the flow guiding plate and the collection box. The anti-disorder mechanism includes an anti-misalignment plate, which is inclined and slidably connected within the collection box. The anti-misalignment plate is located behind the flow guiding plate. When the bottom end of the anti-misalignment plate slides to the bottom surface of the collection box, the bottom end of the anti-misalignment plate is located below the flow guiding plate.

[0006] Preferably, as an improvement, the bottom plate of the collection box is movably connected, with one end of the bottom plate hinged to the collection box and the other end connected to the collection box through a locking mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the locking mechanism includes a chain disposed on the base plate and a strip-shaped lock hole disposed on the side wall of the collection box. The chain is slidably connected in the strip-shaped lock hole. The free end of the chain is provided with a locking member. The size of the locking member is larger than that of the strip-shaped lock hole, and the locking member is located outside the collection box. The strip-shaped lock hole is cane-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the base plate is inclined downward along the direction away from the error-proof plate of the collection box.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the error-proof plate is provided with a limiting shaft.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the inner wall of the collection box is provided with a support shaft for the sliding of the anti-misalignment plate.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the locking element is one of the following: strip-shaped, annular, or polygonal annular.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the bottom of the collection box is provided with support legs, and the support legs are provided with wheels.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the collection box is provided with a reciprocating drive mechanism for driving the anti-misoperation plate to slide.

[0014] The principle and advantages of this scheme are:

[0015] This design significantly increases the collection capacity of the collection box and greatly extends the interval between worker transfers of supports, allowing workers to perform more tasks during this time and effectively reducing labor costs. Simultaneously, the combined design of the guide plate and anti-misalignment plate ensures that the supports entering the collection box face the same direction. Furthermore, the ingenious design of the base plate allows for easy opening of the base plate when supports need to be transferred, enabling rapid output of the supports from the inclined base.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0021] Example 1

[0022] As attached Figures 1-3 As shown: A device for improving the collection efficiency of rearview mirror brackets includes a collection box 1 and the width of the collection box 1 is 1.2 times the length of the bracket 14, so as to avoid the bracket 14 from being driven in the collection box 1 or from the bracket 14 rolling randomly during the transportation of the collection box 1, which would cause the threaded ends of each bracket 14 to be out of direction.

[0023] The base plate 2 of the collection box 1 is movably connected, specifically: the width and length of the base plate 2 are smaller than the internal width and length of the collection box 1, respectively, so that the base plate 2 is located between the side plates of the collection box 1. The left end of the base plate 2 is hinged to the front and rear side plates of the collection box 1, and its right end is connected to the front and rear side plates of the collection box 1 through a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a chain 3 set on the base plate 2 and a strip-shaped lock hole 5 set on the side wall of the collection box 1. The free end of the chain 3 is provided with a locking element 4, which is one of the following: strip-shaped, circular, or polygonal ring-shaped. In this embodiment, a ring-shaped structure is preferred to facilitate the operation of the locking element 4 by the operator. The chain 3 is slidably connected in the strip-shaped lock hole 5, and the locking element 4 is located outside the collection box 1. The diameter of the locking element 4 is larger than that of the strip-shaped lock hole 5. The strip-shaped lock hole 5 is cane-shaped, that is, the strip-shaped lock hole 5 includes a sliding section 6 and an arc-shaped locking section 7 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. When the locking member 4 slides to the arc-shaped locking section 7, the bottom plate 2 closes upward. When the locking member 4 slides to the bottom of the sliding section 6, the bottom plate 2 opens downward, so that the bracket 14 in the collection box 1 can be easily discharged.

[0024] Ideally, the base plate 2 is inclined to the lower left, meaning that when the base plate 2 is closed, it is lower on the left and higher on the right. This allows the brackets 14 to move quickly to the left side of the collection box 1 when the error-proof plate 9 is opened, preventing accumulation. It also allows for the storage of more brackets 14, thus extending the processing interval for workers. When the base plate 2 is open, its left-higher-right-lower position allows the brackets 14 to flow out quickly.

[0025] The collection box 1 is equipped with a flow guiding mechanism and an anti-disorder mechanism to prevent the support 14 from rolling around inside the collection box 1. The flow guiding mechanism includes a flow guiding plate 8, which has a planar or arc-shaped structure. The two sides of the flow guiding plate 8 are welded and fixed to the front and rear side walls of the collection box 1, respectively. The flow guiding plate 8 is close to the right side of the collection box 1 and forms a channel between it and the right wall of the collection box 1 for the support 14 to pass through.

[0026] The anti-disorder mechanism includes an anti-misalignment plate 9, which is inclined and slidably connected inside the collection box 1. Specifically, a limiting shaft 10 is welded laterally to the side of the anti-misalignment plate 9 away from the guide plate 8, or limiting shafts 10 are welded to both sides of the anti-misalignment plate 9. The limiting shafts 10 are used to support the two sides of the collection box. The height of the limiting shaft 10 from the bottom edge of the anti-misalignment plate 9 is greater than the depth of the collection box 1, so that when the bottom end of the anti-misalignment plate 9 contacts the bottom surface of the collection box 1, the anti-misalignment plate 9 is in an inclined state. Through this design, the collection box 1 is divided into two independent spaces, with the space on the right side having a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. In this way, when the support 14 slides down from the guide plate 8, the anti-misalignment plate 9 can promptly restrict its rolling, ensuring that the directions of each support 14 are consistent. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the anti-misalignment plate 9 is located below the guide plate 8 and on the right side of the bottom plate 2.

[0027] In addition, support legs 13 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the collection box 1. The purpose of this is to raise the collection box 1 so that when the support legs 13 inside the collection box 1 are moved out later, it is convenient to place the transfer device at the output port of the base plate 2. At the same time, the support legs 13 are equipped with wheels to facilitate the movement of the collection box 1.

[0028] The specific operating procedure is as follows:

[0029] As the support bracket 14 is conveyed down the conveyor plate, it first passes through the inclined guide plate 8 to buffer and slow it down, preventing the heavier end of the support bracket 14 from falling vertically downwards quickly, which would cause it to land in an inconsistent orientation. When the support bracket 14 falls into the bottom of the collection box 1 with a uniform orientation, the anti-error plate 9 restricts its continued rolling to prevent orientation confusion. When the support bracket 14 in the space to the left of the anti-error plate 9 has been collected to a certain height, the anti-error plate 9 is pulled upwards and to the left, causing the support bracket 14 to roll into the left space for storage. This ensures that the support brackets 14 in the collection box 1 maintain a uniform orientation, while significantly increasing the collection capacity of the collection box 1 and extending the interval between worker transfers of the support bracket 14. When transfer is required, the chain 3 is slid from the arc-shaped locking section 7 to the bottom of the sliding section 6, causing the base plate 2 to open downwards and output the support bracket 14 outwards.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] To further reduce labor costs, the error-prevention plate 9 is designed with an automatic sliding function in this embodiment. A support shaft 11 for sliding the error-prevention plate 9 is provided on the inner wall of the collection box 1. A reciprocating drive mechanism for driving the error-prevention plate 9 to slide is provided on the collection box 1. In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive mechanism is an electric telescopic rod 12 with a timing function (i.e., the electric telescopic rod 12 contains an electronic clock, a microcontroller, and an electronic switch; this is prior art and will not be described in detail here). The electric telescopic rod 12 is fixed to the outer wall of the collection box 1, and its output end is hinged or fixed to the limiting shaft 10 of the error-prevention plate 9. In actual operation, if the electric telescopic rod 12 is timed to reciprocate once every 30 minutes, it will drive the error-prevention plate 9 to move to the upper left every 30 minutes, releasing the bracket 14 stored in the right-side space into the left-side space.
