Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rubber ball production, specifically a fully automatic multi-functional ball-forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of rubber tennis balls, the original part is usually injection molded first, and the original part is hemispherical. In order to achieve a spherical shape, the two hemispheres are then joined together to form a complete rubber tennis ball.

[0003] When performing the hemisphere joining operation, the operator first places one hemisphere on a holding plate, then takes another hemisphere and places it on top of the existing hemisphere on the plate, pressing the two hemispheres together to achieve the joining operation. However, in actual joining, the manual method of clamping the two hemispheres together is not only inefficient, but also causes hand fatigue for workers due to prolonged work, which can easily lead to joining deviations and reduce the quality of the joining operation.

[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a fully automatic multi-functional ball-jointing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a fully automatic multi-functional ball-joining machine, including a transmission component 1. A fixed frame 2 is provided on the top of the transmission component 1. A ball-joining unit 3 is provided on the top of the fixed frame 2. A placement seat 4 is provided on the top of the transmission component 1, and a placement groove 5 is opened on the top of the placement seat 4. A hemisphere 6 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 5. The ball-joining unit 3 includes a connecting box 31, and a second motor 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the connecting box 31. The output shaft of the second motor 32 is drivenly connected to a screw 33, and a movable sleeve 34 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 33. A connecting rod 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable sleeve 34, and a connecting plate 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 35.

A suction cylinder 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 38.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, the hemisphere 6 can be positioned and limited by the placement slot 5 and the placement seat 4. The placement seat 4 and the hemisphere 6 can be transferred to the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2 by the transmission component 1. The output end of the electric push rod 37 can drive the fixing plate 38 and the suction cylinder 39 downward, so that the suction cylinder 39 contacts one side of the hemisphere 6, thereby adsorbing the hemisphere 6. The output end of the second motor 32 drives the screw 33 to rotate, so that the screw 33 drives the movable sleeve 34 to move to one side. The movable sleeve 34 drives the connecting rod 35, the connecting rod 36, the connecting rod 37, the connecting rod 38, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the hemisphere 6, the connecting rod 37, the connecting rod 38, the connecting rod 39 ... The connecting plate 36 and the electric push rod 37 move to one side, which in turn allows the electric push rod 37 to drive the fixed plate 38, suction cylinder 39 and hemisphere 6 to move above the other hemisphere 6. With the help of the electric push rod 37, the hemisphere 6 adsorbed by the suction cylinder 39 can be placed above the other hemisphere 6. At the same time, the pressure applied by the electric push rod 37 can make the two contacting hemispheres 6 stick together and press tightly, thereby realizing the ball-joining operation. The ball-joining operation is fully automated, which not only improves the efficiency and quality of ball joining, but also reduces the workload of workers.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission component 1 includes a support frame 11, and a transmission belt 12 is provided in the inner cavity of the support frame 11. A first motor 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the front of the support frame 11, and the output end of the first motor 13 is connected to the transmission belt 12 for transmission.

[0027] The bottom of the support frame 11 is fixedly connected to a support rod 111, and there are six support rods 111. The bottom of each of the six support rods 111 is fixedly connected to a support 112.

[0028] The fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 11. A sensor is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 2, and the output end of the sensor is connected to the input end of the external microcontroller. The top of the fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting box 31.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 11 can support the fixed frame 2. The output shaft of the first motor 13 drives the transmission belt 12 to drive the placement seat 4 for transmission. The sensor on one side of the inner cavity of the fixed frame 2 can detect whether the placement seat 4 has moved into the inner cavity of the fixed frame 2, which is convenient for the later ball-joining operation. The support rod 111 can support the support frame 11, and the support 112 can ensure the stability of the support rod 111 when supporting the support frame 11.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] Reference Figure 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0032] In this embodiment, a through groove 21 is provided on the top of the fixing frame 2 and in the inner cavity of the connecting box 31. The connecting rod 35 passes through the inner cavity of the through groove 21 and is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the through groove 21.

[0033] A limiting groove 311 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the connecting box 31, and a limiting block 341 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable sleeve 34. One end of the limiting block 341 extends into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 311 and is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 311.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, when the movable sleeve 34 drives the connecting rod 35 to move in position, the movable sleeve 34 drives the limiting block 341 to slide along the inner cavity of the limiting groove 311, thereby limiting the movable sleeve 34 and preventing the movable sleeve 34 from rotating during movement. At the same time, the connecting rod 35 will slide along the inner cavity of the through groove 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the connecting rod 35 during movement and preventing the connecting rod 35 from being misaligned during movement.

[0035] In use, the hemisphere 6 is first placed in the inner cavity of the placement slot 5 to limit its position. Then, the placement seat 4 is placed on top of the conveyor belt 12, and the first motor 13 is activated by the external microcontroller. The first motor 13 drives the conveyor belt 12, which in turn moves the placement seat 4 into the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. When the placement seat 4 enters the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2, the sensor in the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2 transmits a signal to the external microcontroller, which then stops the first motor 13. The placement seat 4 is then stably positioned in the inner cavity of the fixing frame 2. Next, the electric push rod 37 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 37 drives the fixing plate 38 and the suction cylinder 39 downward, so that the suction cylinder 39 contacts one side of the hemisphere 6, thereby adsorbing the hemisphere 6. Then, the electric push rod 37 drives the fixing plate... 38. The suction cylinder 39 and hemisphere 6 move upward, causing hemisphere 6 to detach from the inner cavity of the placement slot 5. Then, the output shaft of the second motor 32 drives the screw 33 to rotate, causing the screw 33 to drive the movable sleeve 34 to move to one side. The movable sleeve 34 drives the connecting rod 35, the connecting plate 36, and the electric push rod 37 to move to one side, which in turn allows the electric push rod 37 to move the fixed plate 38, the suction cylinder 39, and the hemisphere 6 to move above the other hemisphere 6. Then, the electric push rod 37 is activated again, and the output end of the electric push rod 37 drives the hemisphere 6 adsorbed by the suction cylinder 39 to be placed above the other hemisphere 6. At the same time, the electric push rod 37 applies downward pressure to make the two contacting hemispheres 6 stick together and press tightly, thus realizing the ball-joining operation. The ball-joining operation is fully automated, which not only improves the efficiency and quality of ball joining but also reduces the workload of workers.
