Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of necking and flanging machine technology, and in particular to a necking and flanging transfer star wheel guide mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of the necking and flanging machine, the can body needs to undergo necking, flanging, base rounding, and surface inspection in sequence. The movement of the can body between the processing star wheels is achieved by the transfer star wheel. The transfer star wheel uses negative pressure to attract the can body and transfer it to the processing star wheel, and the process of the can body being separated from the transfer star wheel to the processing star wheel is crucial. If the separation is not smooth, it is very easy for the can body to be bumped, which will seriously affect the forming quality of the can body.

[0003] In existing technologies, there is a lack of effective guiding mechanisms for the stable transfer and smooth separation of the tank between the transfer star wheel and the processing star wheel. This makes it difficult to guarantee the positional accuracy and stability of the tank during the transfer process, thus affecting processing quality and production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a guiding mechanism that can ensure the stable transfer and smooth separation of the tank between the transfer star wheel and the processing star wheel. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a necking and flanging transfer star wheel guide mechanism to address the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a necking and flanging transfer star wheel guide mechanism, including a frame, a feeding guide, a peeler, a feeding guide rod, and a peeling guide rod. A transfer star wheel and a processing star wheel are rotatably mounted on the frame, with the transfer star wheel located on one side below the processing star wheel. Both the feeding guide rod and the peeling guide rod are fixedly connected to the frame. The feed guide is set on both sides of the transfer star wheel in the axial direction. The feed guide includes a first arc surface, which is coaxially arranged with the processing star wheel. The first arc surface restricts the removal of the can body in the receiving groove of the processing star wheel. The end of the first arc surface is located at the peeling station. The feed guide is installed on the feed guide rod. The stripper is set on both sides of the processing star wheel in the axial direction. The stripper includes a second arc surface that is set opposite to the first arc surface. The second arc surface is coaxial with the transfer star wheel. The first end of the second arc surface is located at the stripping station. The second arc surface is used to guide the tank in the receiving groove of the processing star wheel to the adsorption groove of the transfer star wheel. The feed guide is installed on the stripping guide rod.

[0006] Optionally, the second arc surface is coaxial with the transfer star wheel. This ensures an accurate and stable guide path, guaranteeing that the can moves along a precise trajectory when transferred from the processing star wheel receiving tank to the transfer star wheel adsorption tank. This avoids problems such as the can shifting or shaking during the transfer process due to the arc surface and the transfer star wheel not being coaxial, which could prevent the can from accurately falling into the adsorption tank or even causing collisions or drops.

[0007] Optionally, two feed guide rods are provided, and a feed guide is fitted onto the two feed guide rods. A first nut is fixed on the feed guide, and a first set screw is threaded onto the first nut. The first set screw presses against the feed guide rod. By adjusting the first set screw, the feed guide can be moved on the feed guide rod, thereby adjusting the position of the feed guide to adapt to tanks of different lengths.

[0008] Optionally, two peeling guide rods are provided, and the peeler is fitted onto the two peeling guide rods. A second nut is fixed to the peeler, and a second set screw is threaded onto the second nut. The second set screw presses against the peeling guide rod. Adjusting the second set screw can adjust the position of the peeler to accommodate tanks of different sizes.

[0009] Optionally, the system also includes a discharge guide rod and a discharge guide. The discharge guide is located on both sides of the transfer star wheel in the axial direction. The discharge guide includes a third arc surface, which is used to peel the can out of the adsorption tank of the transfer star wheel. The discharge guide rod is fixedly connected to the frame, and the feed guide is installed on the feed guide rod. The discharge guide enables reliable peeling and transfer of the can from the adsorption tank of the transfer star wheel to the receiving tank of the next processing star wheel, ensuring a continuous production process. The third arc surface restricts the can from detaching from the receiving tank of the next processing star wheel, maintaining the stability of the can in the processing position and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent processing. The addition of a guiding mechanism to control the can discharge process improves the guiding function of the entire can transfer process and enhances the overall reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0010] Optionally, two discharge guide rods are provided, and discharge guides are fitted onto the two discharge guide rods. A third nut is fixed to the discharge guide, and a third set screw is threaded onto the third nut. The third set screw presses against the discharge guide rod. By adjusting the third set screw, the position of the discharge guide can be adjusted to meet the discharge requirements of different tanks.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By setting up a feeding guide, a stripper, and a discharging guide, the stable transfer and smooth stripping of the tank body between the transfer star wheel and the processing star wheel are achieved, effectively avoiding collisions caused by poor separation of the tank body and improving the forming quality of the tank body.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0014] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a necking and flanging transfer star wheel guide mechanism, including a frame 1, a feeding guide 4, a peeler 5, a feeding guide rod 6, a peeling guide rod 7, a discharge guide rod 8, and a discharge guide 9. A transfer star wheel 2 and a processing star wheel 3 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1, with the transfer star wheel 2 located below the processing star wheel 3. Two feed guide rods 6 and two peeling guide rods 7 are provided and fixedly connected to the frame 1. The feed guide 4 is fitted onto the two feed guide rods 6, and a first nut 10 is fixed on the feed guide 4. The first nut 10 is threadedly connected to a first set screw 11, which presses the feed guide rod 6. The feed guide 4 includes a first arc surface 41 coaxially arranged with the processing star wheel 3. The first arc surface 41 restricts the removal of the can 19 in the receiving groove of the processing star wheel 3, and its end is located at the peeling station.

[0015] The peeler 5 is mounted on two peeling guide rods 7. A second nut 12 is fixed to the peeler 5, and a second set screw 13 is threaded onto the second nut 12. The second set screw 13 presses against the peeling guide rods 7. The peeler 5 includes a second arc surface 51 that is arranged opposite to the first arc surface 41 and coaxial with the transfer star wheel 2. The first end of the second arc surface 51 is located at the peeling station and is used to guide the can 19 in the receiving groove of the processing star wheel 3 to the adsorption groove of the transfer star wheel 2.

[0016] Two discharge guide rods 8 are provided and fixedly connected to the frame 1. Discharge guides 9 are fitted onto the two discharge guide rods 8. A third nut 14 is fixed on the discharge guide 9, and a third set screw 15 is threaded onto the third nut 14. The third set screw 15 presses against the discharge guide rods 8. The discharge guide 9 includes a third arc surface 91, which is coaxially arranged with the next processing star wheel. It is used to peel the can 19 out of the adsorption tank of the transfer star wheel 2 and to prevent the can 19 in the receiving tank of the next processing star wheel from detaching.

[0017] In practical applications, depending on the length of the tank 19 to be processed, loosen the first set screw 11, the second set screw 13 and the third set screw 15, and adjust the positions of the feed guide 4, the stripper 5 and the discharge guide 9 on the corresponding guide rods respectively. After adjusting appropriately, tighten the set screws.

[0018] The transfer star wheel 2 and the processing star wheel 3 rotate in opposite directions. The tank 19 rotates with the processing star wheel 3 in the receiving groove. When it moves to the area of ​​the first arc surface 41 of the feed guide 4, the first arc surface 41 restricts the tank 19 from moving out, so that it moves stably to the stripping station.

[0019] At the stripping station, the tank 19 detaches from the first arc surface 41 and comes into contact with the second arc surface 51 of the stripper 5. The second arc surface 51 guides the tank 19 into the adsorption tank of the transfer star wheel 2, and the adsorption tank adsorbs the tank 19 under negative pressure.

[0020] When the transfer star wheel 2 rotates to transfer the tank 19 to the next processing star wheel, the third arc surface 91 of the discharge guide 9 contacts the tank 19, peels it off from the adsorption tank and guides it into the receiving groove of the next processing star wheel. The third arc surface 91 is coaxially arranged with the next processing star wheel, which restricts the tank 19 from detaching from the receiving groove of the processing star wheel.
