Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake pad processing technology, specifically to a four-station platform for a brake pad press. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, brake pads are the core component of the automotive braking system. Their manufacturing process and efficiency directly affect the performance and production cost of the entire braking system. Brake pads are made by combining friction materials with metal backing plates, and then hot-pressing, machining, and performance testing to produce braking components with specific friction coefficients and heat resistance.

[0003] Existing brake pad presses typically employ single-station or dual-station processing methods. This processing mode requires frequent machine stops between processes such as steel backing loading, powder spreading, pressing, and unloading, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, a four-station platform for brake pad presses is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a four-station platform for a brake pad press.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a four-station platform for a brake pad press, including a four-station platform, which includes a base, a platform and a template assembly. The platform is set on the top of the base, and the bottom of the platform is rotatably connected to the top of the base through a bearing. The top of the machine base is arranged around the following four sides: a steel backing material loading position, a powder spreading position, a pressing position, and a material unloading position. The top of the platform is also arranged around the following four sides: template components corresponding to the steel backing material loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position, and material unloading position.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a four-station processing platform capable of continuous operation is provided for the brake pad press through a mechanism composed of a base, platform, and template components. The four sets of template components located around the top of the platform can rotate with the platform and pass through the four positions of steel backing loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position, and unloading position in sequence to carry out continuous steel backing loading, brake pad raw powder spreading, pressing, and unloading operations, which greatly increases the efficiency of brake pad processing.

[0007] Specifically, the template assembly includes a base plate, which is fixed to the platform by bolts. A pull-out groove is provided on one side of the top of the base plate, and a pull-out plate is inserted into the pull-out groove. Brake pad steel back cavities are provided through the surface of the pull-out plate at equal intervals.

[0008] Specifically, a lifting plate is provided on the top of the base plate, and guide columns are fixedly connected around the bottom of the lifting plate. The guide columns are inserted into the base plate and the platform in sequence, and powder-spreading cavities corresponding to the positions of the brake pad steel back cavity are opened through the surface of the lifting plate at equal intervals. The base plate has a first electric push rod embedded at both ends. The cylinder sleeve of the first electric push rod is fixed to the base plate by bolts, and the output end of the first electric push rod is fixed to the lifting plate by bolts.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the template assembly reaches the position of the steel backing material position, the lifting plate is pushed up by the first electric push rod. The worker or the loading robot puts the brake pad steel backing into the brake pad steel backing cavity in sequence. After the brake pad steel backing is loaded, the first electric push rod drives the lifting plate to fall back, so that the powder spreading cavity falls back and covers the brake pad steel backing. When the template assembly reaches the powder spreading position, the worker or powder spreading equipment fills the powder spreading cavity with the brake powder material to be hot-pressed. When the template assembly reaches the pressing position, the brake pad press applies pressure to the powder spreading cavity, so that the brake powder raw material is pressed and formed on the brake pad steel back to form an integral brake pad.

[0010] Specifically, the bottom plate has two ends embedded with second electric push rods near the pull-out slot. The cylinder sleeve of the second electric push rod is fixed to the bottom plate with bolts. The output end of the second electric push rod is equipped with a connecting block. The top of the connecting block is fixed to the end face of the pull-out plate at the corresponding position with bolts.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the template assembly reaches the unloading position, the first electric push rod pushes the lifting plate up again. Subsequently, the pull plate is pushed out of the pull slot by the second electric push rod, so that the brake pad steel back cavity area of ​​the pull plate leaves the bottom plate, and the pressed brake pad is discharged downward from the brake pad steel back cavity.

[0012] Specifically, a servo motor and a gearbox are embedded in the top of the base. The servo motor and gearbox are fixedly mounted on the base by bolts. The output end of the servo motor is connected to the input end of the gearbox. A conductive slip ring is provided on the outer periphery of the top of the gearbox. The output end of the gearbox passes through the center of the conductive slip ring and is fixed to the middle of the platform by bolts. The top and bottom of the conductive slip ring are fixed to the platform and the base, respectively. An electromagnetic brake is installed on the drive end of the servo motor, and the housing of the electromagnetic brake is connected to the end cover of the servo motor by bolts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor provides driving force to the gearbox, which rotates the platform, so that the four sets of template components on the platform pass through the four stations of steel backing material loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position and unloading position.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The mechanism composed of a base, platform, and template components provides a four-station processing platform for the brake pad press that can operate continuously. The four sets of template components located around the top of the platform can rotate with the platform and pass through the four positions of steel backing loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position, and unloading position in sequence to carry out continuous steel backing loading, brake pad raw powder spreading, pressing, and unloading operations. This greatly increases the efficiency of brake pad processing and solves the problem that the existing steel backing loading, powder spreading, pressing, and unloading processes require frequent machine stops, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a four-station platform for a brake pad press, comprising a four-station platform 1, wherein the four-station platform 1 comprises a base 11, a platform 12 and a template assembly 13, wherein the platform 12 is disposed on the top of the base 11 and the bottom of the platform 12 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 11 via a bearing. The top perimeter of the base 11 is sequentially configured with a steel backing material loading position, a powder spreading position, a pressing position, and a material unloading position. The top perimeter of the platform 12 is sequentially equipped with template components 13 corresponding to the steel backing material loading position, the powder spreading position, the pressing position, and the material unloading position.

[0019] The present invention also includes a template assembly 13 comprising a base plate 131, the base plate 131 being installed and fixed to the platform 12 by bolts, a pull-out groove 132 being provided on one side of the top of the base plate 131, a pull-out plate 133 being inserted into the pull-out groove 132, and a brake pad steel back cavity 134 being provided through the surface of the pull-out plate 133 at equal intervals.

[0020] The present invention also includes a lifting plate 135 provided on the top of the base plate 131, and guide columns 137 fixedly connected around the bottom of the lifting plate 135. The guide columns 137 are sequentially inserted into the base plate 131 and the platform 12. The surface of the lifting plate 135 is provided with powder spreading cavities 136 at equal intervals, corresponding to the positions of the brake pad steel back cavity 134. The base plate 131 has a first electric push rod 138 embedded at both ends. The cylinder sleeve of the first electric push rod 138 is fixed to the base plate 131 by bolts. The output end of the first electric push rod 138 is fixed to the lifting plate 135 by bolts.

[0021] In use, when the template assembly 13 reaches the position of the steel backing material position by the rotation of the platform 12, the lifting plate 135 is pushed up by the first electric push rod 138. The workers or the loading robot put the brake pad steel backing into the brake pad steel backing cavity 134 in sequence. After the brake pad steel backing is loaded, the first electric push rod 138 drives the lifting plate 135 to fall back, so that the powder spreading cavity 136 falls back and covers the brake pad steel backing. As the platform 12 rotates, when the template assembly 13 reaches the powder spreading position, the worker or powder spreading equipment fills the powder spreading cavity 136 with brake powder raw material to be hot-pressed. As the platform 12 rotates, when the template assembly 13 reaches the pressing position, the brake pad press applies pressure to the powder spreading cavity 136, so that the brake powder raw material is pressed and formed on the brake pad steel back to form an integral brake pad.

[0022] The present invention further includes that the bottom plate 131 is provided with a second electric push rod 139 at both ends near the pull-out groove 132. The cylinder sleeve of the second electric push rod 139 is fixedly installed to the bottom plate 131 by bolts. The output end of the second electric push rod 139 is provided with a connecting block 1310. The top of the connecting block 1310 is fixedly installed to the end face of the pull-out plate 133 at the corresponding position by bolts.

[0023] During use, as the platform 12 rotates, when the template assembly 13 reaches the unloading position, the first electric push rod 138 pushes the lifting plate 135 up again. Subsequently, the pull plate 133 is pushed out of the pull slot 132 by the second electric push rod 139, so that the brake pad steel back cavity 134 area of ​​the pull plate 133 leaves the bottom plate 131, and the pressed brake pad is discharged downward from the brake pad steel back cavity 134.

[0024] The present invention also includes a servo motor 14 and a gearbox 141 embedded in the top of the base 11. The servo motor 14 and the gearbox 141 are fixedly mounted on the base 11 by bolts. The output end of the servo motor 14 is connected to the input end of the gearbox 141. A conductive slip ring 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the top of the gearbox 141. The output end of the gearbox 141 passes through the center of the conductive slip ring 15 and is fixedly mounted to the middle of the platform 12 by bolts. The top and bottom of the conductive slip ring 15 are respectively fixedly mounted to the platform 12 and the base 11. An electromagnetic brake 142 is installed on the drive end of the servo motor 14, and the housing of the electromagnetic brake 142 is connected to the end cover of the servo motor 14 by bolts.

[0025] In use, the servo motor 14 provides driving force to the gearbox 141, which rotates the platform 12, so that the four sets of template components 13 on the platform 12 pass through the four stations of steel back loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position and unloading position.

[0026] In use, the four-station platform 1 is mounted on one side of the brake pad press, with the pressing position located below the pressing end of the brake pad press. The servo motor 14 provides driving force to the gearbox 141, causing the platform 12 to rotate. The four sets of template components 13 on the platform 12 sequentially pass through the steel backing material loading position, powder spreading position, pressing position, and unloading position. When the template components 13 reach the steel backing material loading position, the lifting plate 135 is lifted by the first electric push rod 138. A worker or a loading robot then sequentially places the brake pad steel backing into the brake pad steel backing cavity 134. After the brake pad steel backing is loaded, the first electric push rod 138 drives the lifting plate 135 to descend, causing the powder spreading cavity 136 to descend and cover the brake pad steel backing. When the template components 13 reach the powder spreading position… When the mold assembly 13 reaches the pressing position, the brake powder material to be hot-pressed is filled into the powder-spreading cavity 136 by workers or powder-spreading equipment. When the mold assembly 13 reaches the pressing position, the brake pad press applies pressure to the powder-spreading cavity 136, so that the brake powder material is pressed into shape on the brake pad steel back to form an integral brake pad. During the pressing process, the platform 12 remains stationary to ensure the stability of the pressing operation. When the mold assembly 13 reaches the unloading position, the first electric push rod 138 pushes the lifting plate 135 up again. Then, the pull plate 133 is pushed out of the pull groove 132 by the second electric push rod 139, so that the brake pad steel back cavity 134 area of ​​the pull plate 133 leaves the bottom plate 131, so that the pressed brake pad is discharged downward from the brake pad steel back cavity 134. This cycle is repeated to complete the entire processing process.

[0027] Furthermore, the output end of the conductive slip ring 15 is electrically connected to the power input ends of the first electric push rod 138 and the second electric push rod 139 via wires. During manual operation, the control switches of each set of the first electric push rod 138 and the second electric push rod 139 are arranged on the outer periphery of the bottom of the platform 12, and are manually operated and controlled by personnel at different workstations. If the processing site requires automated operation, a PLC controller can be installed under the platform 12. The output end of the conductive slip ring 15 is electrically connected to the power input end of the PLC controller via wires, and the output end of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the input ends of the first electric push rod 138 and the second electric push rod 139 via wires. The input end of the conductive slip ring 15 is electrically connected to the output end of the power supply equipment of the work site.
