Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically to an aluminum cylindrical blank conveying and turning device. Background technology:

[0002] Existing automotive parts, such as some wheel hubs, are manufactured using either spin casting or forging. Forged wheel hubs have higher strength and other properties.

[0003] In the processing, the long aluminum alloy column that needs to be cut into multiple small column-shaped aluminum column blanks is first cut. Then, the blanks are transported by a conveying mechanism. Before and after being transported to the forging equipment, the aluminum column blanks need to be flipped. Because flipping is required, a six-axis robot is usually set up in front of the forging equipment to grab the aluminum column blanks, flip them, and then place them at the feeding position. The forging equipment automatically pushes the flipped aluminum column blanks into the processing position for processing. The addition of a six-axis robot for grabbing and flipping has low utilization and high cost. Utility Model Content:

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an aluminum billet conveying and turning device. It can be installed in front of the forging equipment. After automatically turning the conveyed aluminum billet, it can be conveyed to the receiving position in front of the forging equipment. It can eliminate the gripping and turning action of the six-axis robot, reduce cost investment, and has a good conveying effect.

[0005] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:

[0006] An aluminum column blank conveying and turning device includes a transverse conveying frame and a longitudinal conveying frame extending forward and backward. A support base is fixed on the ground at the left end of the transverse conveying frame. Connecting seats are fixed at the front and rear of the top surface of the support base. The lower part of the turning support frame is movably connected to the two connecting seats through a hinge shaft.

[0007] The flipping support frame includes a bottom connecting beam extending forward and backward. The front and rear parts of the right side of the bottom connecting beam are both fixed with a right oblique support beam. The front and rear ends of multiple transmission rollers are movably connected to the two oblique support beams through bearings.

[0008] Multiple elongated support plates extending obliquely upward and to the left are fixed on the left side wall of the bottom connecting beam. The elongated support plates correspond to and cooperate with the downward extending slots formed on the top surface of the right support plate of the longitudinal conveyor frame.

[0009] The upper end of the right inclined support beam of the flipping support frame is close to the left end of the transverse conveyor frame. The flipping support frame receives the aluminum column blanks conveyed by the transverse conveyor frame and flips them to be placed on the longitudinal conveyor frame.

[0010] The bottom connecting beam has a through hole formed in the middle, and the hinge shaft is located in the through hole. Its outer side wall is pressed against the inner side wall of the through hole. The front and rear ends of the hinge shaft extend out of the front and rear end faces of the bottom connecting beam and are movably connected to the two connecting seats through bearings.

[0011] The transverse conveyor frame includes a horizontal fixed plate. Side fixed plates are fixed to the front and rear of the top surface of the horizontal fixed plate. Multiple support legs are fixed to the front and rear of the bottom surface of the horizontal fixed plate. The bottom horizontal fixed plate is fixed to the inner side wall of all the support legs. A right connecting seat is fixed to the top left side of the bottom horizontal fixed plate. The right end base of the push cylinder is movably connected to the right connecting seat through a hinge shaft. The end of the push rod of the push cylinder is movably connected to a movable connecting shaft. The two ends of the movable connecting shaft are fixed to the middle connecting block of the bottom surface of the two right inclined support beams.

[0012] The longitudinal conveyor frame includes a left support plate and a right support plate. The connecting shafts at both ends of multiple second drive rollers are movably connected to the left and right support plates via bearings. The end of the connecting shaft on the left extends out of the left support plate and is fixed with a second double-row sprocket. Each pair of adjacent second double-row sprockets has a corresponding sprocket section tensioned by a chain to transmit power. A second motor base is fixed on the right side wall of the right support plate, and a second conveyor motor is fixed on the second motor base. The output shaft of the second conveyor motor is connected to the end of the connecting shaft on the right side of the corresponding second drive roller that extends out of the right support plate via a coupling.

[0013] The outstanding effect of this utility model is:

[0014] It can be installed in front of forging equipment. It automatically flips the conveyed aluminum billet and then conveys it to the receiving position in front of the forging equipment.

[0018] For example, see below. Figures 1 to 3As shown, an aluminum column blank conveying and turning device includes a transverse conveying frame 10 and a longitudinal conveying frame 20 extending forward and backward. A support seat 30 is fixed on the ground at the left end of the transverse conveying frame 10. Connecting seats 31 are fixed at the front and rear of the top surface of the support seat 30. The lower part of the turning support frame 40 is movably connected to the two connecting seats 31 through a hinge shaft.

[0019] The flipping support frame 40 includes a bottom connecting beam 41 extending forward and backward. The front and rear parts of the right side of the bottom connecting beam 41 are both fixed with a right oblique support beam 42. The front and rear ends of the multiple transmission rollers 43 are movably connected to the two oblique support beams 42 through bearings.

[0020] Multiple elongated support plates 44 extending obliquely upward and to the left are fixed on the left side wall of the bottom connecting beam 41. The elongated support plates 44 correspond to and cooperate with the downward extending slots 21 formed on the top surface of the right support plate of the longitudinal conveyor 20.

[0021] The upper end of the right inclined support beam 42 of the flip support frame 40 is close to the left end of the transverse conveyor frame 10. The flip support frame 40 receives the aluminum column blank 100 conveyed by the transverse conveyor frame 10 and flips it to place it on the longitudinal conveyor frame 20.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom connecting beam 41 has a through hole formed in the middle, and the hinge shaft is located in the through hole. Its outer wall is pressed against the inner wall of the through hole, that is, the outer wall of the middle part of the hinge shaft is stuck on the inner wall of the through hole. The front and rear ends of the hinge shaft extend out of the front and rear end faces of the bottom connecting beam 41 and are movably connected to the two connecting seats 31 through bearings.

[0023] Furthermore, the transverse conveyor frame 10 includes a horizontal fixed plate 11. Side fixed plates are fixed to the front and rear of the top surface of the horizontal fixed plate 11. The front and rear connecting shafts of multiple first drive rollers 12 are movably connected to the two side fixed plates via bearings. The rear end of the connecting shaft of the rear of the first drive roller 12 extends out of the rear side fixed plate and is fixed with a double-row sprocket 13. A motor connecting seat is fixed to the rear wall of the rear side fixed plate. A first conveying motor 14 is fixed to the top surface of the motor connecting seat. The output shaft of the first conveying motor 14 is connected to the rear end of the connecting shaft of the corresponding rear end of the first drive roller 12 via a coupling. A corresponding sprocket on each pair of adjacent double-row sprockets 13 is tensioned by a chain and transmits power. Laterally extending guide plates are fixed to the top surfaces of both side fixed plates, which prevent the aluminum column blanks 100 conveyed on the first drive rollers 12 from moving forward or backward from the transverse conveyor frame 10.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple support legs are fixed to the front and rear of the bottom surface of the horizontal fixing plate 11. The bottom horizontal fixing plate is fixed to the inner sidewall of all the support legs. A right connecting seat 15 is fixed to the top left side of the bottom horizontal fixing plate. The right end base of the push cylinder 16 is movably connected to the right connecting seat 15 through a hinge shaft. The end of the push rod of the push cylinder 16 is movably connected to a movable connecting shaft 17. The two ends of the movable connecting shaft 17 are fixed to the middle connecting block 49 on the bottom surface of the two right inclined support beams 42.

[0025] Furthermore, the longitudinal conveyor frame 20 includes a left support plate and a right support plate. The connecting shafts at both ends of a plurality of second drive rollers 26 are movably connected to the left and right support plates via bearings. The end of the connecting shaft on the left extends out of the left support plate and is fixed with a second double-row sprocket 22. The corresponding sprocket part on each pair of adjacent second double-row sprockets 22 is tensioned by a chain and transmits power. A second motor base is fixed on the right side wall of the right support plate, and a second conveyor motor 23 is fixed on the second motor base. The output shaft of the second conveyor motor 23 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft on the right side of the corresponding second drive roller 26 that extends out of the right support plate via a coupling.

[0026] Furthermore, a bottom horizontal fixing plate is fixed between the lower parts of the left and right support plates of the longitudinal conveyor frame 20.

[0027] Each slot 21 has a limiting sleeve 24 fixed on the top surface of the bottom horizontal fixing plate. A guide post 25 is inserted into the limiting sleeve 24. The top end of the guide post 25 extends out of the top end of the limiting sleeve 24 and is fixed with a horizontal support block 29. The horizontal support block 29 is located between the two corresponding second transmission rollers 26 and corresponds to the corresponding elongated support plate 44.

[0028] Furthermore, the guide post 25 is a rectangular column, the central through hole of the limiting sleeve 24 is a rectangular through hole, the outer side wall of the guide post 25 is close to the inner side wall of the limiting sleeve 24, and it cooperates with the guide post 25. A rubber elastic layer 28 is fixed on the top surface of the limiting sleeve 24, and the bottom surface of the horizontal support block 29 presses against the top surface of the rubber elastic layer 28.

[0029] In this embodiment, it is installed in front of the forging equipment, and the discharge port at the rear end of its longitudinal conveyor 20 is located in front of the feeding position of the forging equipment (the forging equipment is a commercially available product, which will not be described in detail here).

[0030] The right end of the transverse conveyor 10 is the feeding end, which corresponds to the discharge port of the preceding processing section. The equipment in the preceding processing section transports the cut aluminum column blanks 100 into the transverse conveyor 10. The transverse conveyor 10 is operated by the first conveyor motor 14, which causes all the first drive rollers 12 to rotate, so that the aluminum column blanks 100 transported on it can be transported to the left. Infrared receivers and infrared transmitters are fixed in the middle of the left ends of the two transverse guide plates, respectively. The infrared transmitter irradiates infrared rays onto the receiving end of the infrared receiver. All electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the control host through electrical connection lines and are controlled by the control host. It is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] When the aluminum column blank 100 is conveyed to the left in the transverse conveyor frame 10, it blocks the infrared light when it passes between the infrared receiver and the infrared transmitter, thus preventing the infrared receiver from sensing the signal. This indicates that the aluminum column blank 100 has passed by. After receiving the sensing signal from the infrared receiver, the control host controls the corresponding solenoid valve of the electrically connected hydraulic system to operate, causing the push rod of the connected push cylinder 16 to push, causing the right inclined support beam 42 of the tilting support frame 40 to tilt upward. It generally takes about 5 seconds after the sensing signal arrives to activate. The height of the right end of the right inclined support beam 42 is lower than the top of the first drive roller 12 of the transverse conveyor frame 10. Therefore, after the aluminum column blank 100 is output from the left end of the transverse conveyor frame 10, it will fall onto the drive roller 43 at the right inclined support beam 42 and move along the drive roller 43. The aluminum column blank 100 slides down, causing its bottom end to press against the top surface of the corresponding elongated support plate 44. Then, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is pushed to flip the flipping support frame 40, so that all the elongated support plates 44 are inserted between the corresponding two second drive rollers 26, with their top surfaces lower than the top surfaces of the second drive rollers 26. This causes the bottom surface of the flipped aluminum column blank 100 to press against the top surfaces of the corresponding multiple second drive rollers 26, while the bottom surface of the elongated support plate 44 presses against the top surface of the corresponding horizontal support block 29. The impact force is reduced by compression through the rubber elastic layer 28. Then, the second conveying motor 23 runs to transport the flipped aluminum column blank 100 backward until it reaches the receiving position in front of the forging equipment, completing the loading. This eliminates the need for a six-axis robot to perform the flipping operation, greatly reducing cost investment and ensuring normal processing.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
