Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts production equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic scanning and traceability device for an outer ring sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] As the global automotive industry continues to grow, the demand for automotive parts is also increasing. To meet market demands, improving production efficiency and quality has become crucial. Advances in automation, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have provided strong support for the automation of automotive parts production. The automotive drive shaft is a critical power output component in a vehicle. Each drive shaft part has a unique QR code, and the content of each QR code is different. During the processing of the workpiece, after the outer ring and sliding sleeve of the drive shaft have been tempered, the QR code on the workpiece needs to be scanned. This binds the process parameter information during the processing of that workpiece with the QR code and saves the information. Later, by scanning the QR code content, all processing information at the time of production of that workpiece can be retrieved, confirming whether the processing process met the requirements.

[0003] The existing method of scanning the outer ring sleeve of the drive shaft mainly relies on manual unloading and scanning the QR code on the workpiece with a handheld barcode scanner. The entire process involves employees manually picking up the workpiece, scanning it, and then placing it in a transfer box. The employees are constantly repeating the same actions and cannot leave their posts. At the same time, the work is monotonous and boring, and it is easy to make some mistakes. As a result, the workpiece cannot be unloaded in time, the barcode is not scanned and traceable information is uploaded, and the workpiece is bumped during unloading, causing quality problems and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] A further improvement is that the material distribution mechanism includes a limiting cylinder and an isolation cylinder fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt. An isolation rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the isolation cylinder, and a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the limiting cylinder.

[0007] A further improvement is that the end of the isolation rod is tapered.

A transmission belt is provided between the output end of the rotary motor and the rotating shaft. A material gripper is mounted on the lower end of the clamping cylinder, and the material gripper is driven by the clamping cylinder to perform clamping.

[0009] A further improvement is that an anti-slip pad is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the gripper claw.

[0010] A further improvement is that the transfer mechanism includes a pusher cylinder and a stop cylinder fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt. A pusher plate is installed at the output end of the pusher cylinder, and a stop rod is installed at the output end of the stop cylinder.

[0011] A further improvement is that a transfer conveyor belt is provided on the other side of the conveyor belt corresponding to the pusher plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application uses a conveyor belt to transport and unload workpieces. A limiting cylinder drives a limiting rod, and an isolation cylinder drives an isolation rod to isolate and position the transported workpieces, facilitating subsequent clamping of individual workpieces. A lifting cylinder drives lifting, and a clamping cylinder drives a gripper to hold the workpiece. A rotary motor drives rotation, allowing the workpiece to rotate on one side of the barcode scanner, facilitating comprehensive scanning and ensuring accuracy. Furthermore, the manual operation during transport and scanning is reduced, significantly lowering manpower and effectively improving production efficiency. By binding process information through barcode scanning, traceability of workpiece processing data is achieved, improving workpiece quality. A transfer mechanism is set up to screen or transfer workpieces as needed. A blocking cylinder drives a blocking rod to extend and obstruct the transport of workpieces, and a pushing cylinder drives a pushing plate to push the workpiece onto the transfer conveyor belt for transport, improving workpiece unloading and transport efficiency.

[0022] A mounting bracket is provided on one side of the frame 1, and a mounting plate is slidably mounted on the mounting bracket. The barcode scanner is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate via a rotating shaft. A push-pull cylinder is provided on one side of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the push-pull cylinder is connected to the mounting plate. The push-pull cylinder pushes the mounting bracket, causing the barcode scanner to slide left and right. A flip cylinder is hinged to the lower end of the mounting plate, and the output end of the flip cylinder is hinged to the lower end of the barcode scanner 3. The flip cylinder pushes the barcode scanner 3 to rotate along the rotating shaft, adjusting the scanning angle of the barcode scanner. The data transmission connection between the barcode scanner 3 and the traceability system is existing technology and is not specifically limited here.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the material distribution mechanism includes a limiting cylinder 4 and an isolation cylinder 5 fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt 2. An isolation rod 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the isolation cylinder 5. The end of the isolation rod 6 is tapered. A limiting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the limiting cylinder 4. The limiting cylinder 4 drives the limiting rod 7 to extend and block the conveyed workpiece, causing the workpiece to stop being conveyed. The isolation cylinder 5 drives the isolation rod 6 to extend and insert between the workpieces. The limiting rod 7 and the isolation rod 6 limit and isolate a single workpiece.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping and rotating mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 8 mounted on the frame 1. A lifting plate 9 is mounted on the output end of the lifting cylinder 8. A guide column is provided inside the frame 1. The lifting plate 9 is slidably connected to the guide column, which guides the lifting of the lifting plate. A rotary motor 10 is mounted on one lower end of the lifting plate 9. A clamping cylinder 11 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the lifting plate 9 via a rotating shaft. A transmission belt is provided between the output end of the rotary motor 10 and the rotating shaft. A gripping claw 12 is mounted on the lower end of the clamping cylinder 11. The gripping claw 12 is driven by the clamping cylinder 11 to clamp the workpiece. The lifting cylinder 8 drives the lifting plate 9 to rise and fall. The rotary motor 10 and the clamping cylinder 11 rise and fall with the lifting plate 9 to the upper side of the workpiece. The clamping cylinder 11 drives the gripping claw 12 to clamp the workpiece. The rotary motor 10 drives the rotating shaft via the transmission belt to rotate the workpiece clamped by the clamping cylinder 11.

[0025] The lower inner side of the gripper 12 is provided with an anti-slip pad, which provides clamping force to ensure the stability of workpiece clamping.

The lifting cylinder 8 drives the workpiece downward, and the clamping cylinder 11 drives the gripper 12 to clamp the workpiece. After clamping, the lifting cylinder 8 drives the workpiece upward. The lifting cylinder 8 lifts the workpiece to the side of the barcode scanner 3, and the rotary motor 10 drives the gripper 12 to clamp the workpiece via the transmission belt. The workpiece rotates, and the barcode scanner 3 scans the QR code on one side of the rotating workpiece. The scanned information is transmitted to the traceability system for storage. After scanning, the lifting cylinder 8 descends, the gripper 12 releases the workpiece, and the limit cylinder 4 drives the limit rod 7 to retract, removing the obstruction to the workpiece and allowing it to continue to be conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. When the workpiece is conveyed to the transfer mechanism, the blocking cylinder 14 drives the blocking rod 16 to extend, blocking the workpiece conveying. The pushing cylinder 13 drives the pushing plate 15 to push the workpiece along the blocking plate to the rotating conveyor belt for screening and transfer.

[0028] Workpieces are conveyed via conveyor belt 2, and the sorting mechanism isolates and positions individual workpieces. The clamping and rotating mechanism clamps the workpieces and lifts and rotates them, enabling the barcode scanner 3 to accurately scan the QR codes on the workpieces, bind process information, realize single-piece traceability of workpiece processing data, facilitate workpiece screening, and improve workpiece quality.
