Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wheel hub gravity flipping and feeding, specifically a wheel hub gravity flipping and feeding track mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The wheel hub gravity-flipping feeding technology achieves efficient, stable, and energy-saving automated feeding by precisely adjusting the slope of the track plate and combining it with a gravity-flipping tilting structure. This significantly improves production efficiency and casting quality while reducing maintenance costs and equipment load.
[0003] In practical applications, the existing wheel hub gravity tilting and feeding track mechanism has a relatively complete structure and function, which can basically meet the needs of daily use. However, the following problems still exist: As the wheel hub rolls down the track, it is prone to positional deviation due to insufficient guidance from the track, resulting in a discrepancy between the final position of the wheel hub and the predetermined work station. This requires manual adjustment before continuing the subsequent process, interrupting the production flow. In addition, some wheel hubs may tip over during the rolling process due to uneven weight distribution or improper control of the rolling speed, directly causing material feeding interruption. This not only reduces production efficiency but may also cause impact damage to the surface of the wheel hub, affecting product quality.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a wheel hub gravity flipping feeding track mechanism. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a wheel hub gravity flipping feeding track mechanism.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wheel hub gravity flipping feeding track mechanism, including a track plate, wherein the track plate is provided with an angle adjustment structure; The track plate is provided with a limit structure; The limiting structure includes a fixed frame mounted on the track plate, a first electric telescopic rod mounted on the fixed frame, a baffle mounted on the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod, and a rubber plate mounted on one side of the baffle. The baffle is equipped with a monitoring component; The monitoring component includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiving switch, with the transmitting end of the infrared transmitter facing the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch, and the infrared transmitter, the infrared receiving switch, and the first electric telescopic rod are connected by a signal.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the angle adjustment structure includes a support cylinder installed at the bottom of one side of the rail plate, a rotating rod rotatably connected inside the support cylinder, and support legs fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod; a support rod is installed at the bottom of the other side of the rail plate, and rotating rings are rotatably connected to the outer sides of both ends of the support rod, with hydraulic rods installed on both rotating rings.
[0008] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting an angle adjustment structure and activating the hydraulic rod, the angle of the rail plate is adjusted, thereby adjusting the slope of the rail plate and thus adjusting the rotation speed of the wheel hub.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting plate is installed on the outer side of the baffle near the feeding end of the rail plate, and a third electric telescopic rod is mounted on the mounting plate. The infrared transmitter is mounted on the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod. A bracket is installed on the outer side of the baffle near the discharging end of the rail plate, and a second electric telescopic rod is mounted on the bracket. A U-shaped shell is mounted on the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod, and a fixing rod is mounted on the U-shaped shell. An adjusting plate is movably sleeved on the fixing rod, and an infrared receiving switch is mounted on one side of the adjusting plate. A reset component is provided on the U-shaped shell.
[0010] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by activating the third electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod, the position of the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver switch can be finely adjusted.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the reset assembly includes a connecting frame mounted on a U-shaped shell, a fourth electric telescopic rod mounted on the connecting frame, a push plate mounted on the telescopic end of the fourth electric telescopic rod, and the telescopic end of the fourth electric telescopic rod facing the axis of the fixed rod.
[0012] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a reset component, the position of the infrared receiving switch can be reset.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the infrared receiving switch is fitted with a rubber sleeve on its outer side.
[0014] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a rubber sleeve, the infrared receiving switch is prevented from being damaged by direct collision with the wheel hub.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a rubber ring is fitted on the outer side of the fixing rod, and the rubber ring is pressed between the adjusting plate and the U-shaped shell.
[0016] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a rubber ring, the friction between the adjusting plate and the U-shaped shell is increased, so that the adjusting plate will not be affected by the overall vibration of the device and will rotate due to the impact of the wheel hub.
[0017] This utility model provides a wheel hub gravity-driven tilting and feeding track mechanism. It has the following beneficial effects: By setting a limiting structure and monitoring components, when the hub shifts position, it will block the infrared rays. At this time, the infrared receiving switch controls the first electric telescopic rod to extend and retract once to reset the hub and maintain its original center position to continue rolling downwards. This achieves the effect of minimizing the hub's position shift under gravity and also minimizing the possibility of the hub tipping over and affecting its rolling. When the hub collides with the infrared receiving switch at the discharge end of the rail plate, the adjusting plate rotates under force to relieve the force and prevent the infrared receiving switch from obstructing the hub's rolling.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a wheel hub gravity-driven tilting and feeding track mechanism, including a track plate 1, an angle adjustment structure 2 on the track plate 1, the angle adjustment structure 2 including a support cylinder 201 installed at the bottom of one side of the track plate 1, a rotating rod 202 rotatably connected inside the support cylinder 201, and support legs 203 fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 202. A support rod 204 is installed at the bottom of the other side of the track plate 1, and rotating rings 205 are rotatably connected to the outer sides of both ends of the support rod 204. Hydraulic rods 206 are installed on both rotating rings 205. According to the above technical solution, specifically, by activating the hydraulic rods 206, the extension and retraction ends of the hydraulic rods drive the track plate 1 to adjust the slope, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting and controlling the wheel hub's rolling speed. When the slope of the track plate 1 is adjusted, the height of the discharge end of the track plate 1 will change. At this time, the height of the subsequent worktable that receives the wheel hub also needs to be adjusted using the existing lifting structure.
[0022] Going further, such as Figures 1-3As shown: A limiting structure 3 is provided on the rail plate 1. The limiting structure 3 includes a fixing frame 301 installed on the rail plate 1. A first electric telescopic rod 302 is installed on the fixing frame 301. A baffle 303 is installed on the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 302. A rubber plate 304 is installed on one side of the baffle 303. A monitoring component 4 is provided on the baffle 303. The monitoring component 4 includes an infrared transmitter 411 and an infrared receiving switch 406. The transmitting end of the infrared transmitter 411 faces the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch 406. The infrared transmitter 411, the infrared receiving switch 406, and the first electric telescopic rod 302 are signal connected. According to the above technical solution, specifically, after determining the hub width of this batch, the first electric telescopic rod 302 is activated, causing its telescopic end to move the baffle 303, so that the two baffles... The distance between 303 is the hub width plus 30cm. In addition, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 411 are received by the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch 406. By placing the hub vertically on the loading end of the rail plate 1, the hub rolls down the inclined rail plate 1 by its own weight. During this process, when the hub shifts position, it will block the infrared rays. At this time, the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch 406 will not receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 411. At this time, the switch of the infrared receiving switch 406 controls the first electric telescopic rod 302 to perform a telescopic movement to reset the hub and maintain its original center position to continue rolling down. This achieves the effect of minimizing the position shift of the hub during the downward rolling under gravity, and at the same time, minimizing the possibility of the hub tipping over and affecting the downward rolling. Among them, the infrared transmitter 411 is an OPB100-EZ manufactured by TT Electronics plc, the infrared receiver switch 406 is an IRM-3638JT manufactured by Everlight Electronics (Taiwan), and the first electric telescopic rod 302 is a Liyixun LX600 electric push rod manufactured by Nanjing Liyixun Electronics Co., Ltd. The circuit connection between the infrared transmitter 411, the infrared receiver switch 406, and the first electric telescopic rod 302 can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, and the signal transmission method of the three is existing technology.
[0023] Going further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown: A mounting plate 409 is installed on the outer side of the baffle 303 near the feeding end of the rail plate 1. A third electric telescopic rod 410 is installed on the mounting plate 409, and an infrared emitter 411 is installed on the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 410. A bracket 401 is installed on the outer side of the baffle 303 near the discharging end of the rail plate 1. A second electric telescopic rod 402 is installed on the bracket 401. A U-shaped shell 403 is installed on the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 402. A fixing rod 404 is installed on the U-shaped shell 403. An adjusting plate 405 is movably sleeved on the fixing rod 404. An infrared receiving switch 406 is installed on one side of the adjusting plate 405. According to the above technical solution, specifically, by activating the third electric telescopic rod 410 and the second electric telescopic rod 402, the infrared emitter 411 and the infrared receiving switch 406 can be finely adjusted to ensure that the infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitter 411 are received by the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch 406.
[0024] Going further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: A reset assembly 5 is provided on the U-shaped shell 403. The reset assembly 5 includes a connecting frame 501 installed on the U-shaped shell 403. A fourth electric telescopic rod 502 is installed on the connecting frame 501. A push plate 503 is installed on the telescopic end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 502. The telescopic end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 502 faces the axis of the fixed rod 404. According to the above technical solution, specifically, when the wheel hub collides with the infrared receiving switch 406 at the discharge end of the rail plate 1, the adjusting plate 405 is rotated under force to relieve the force and prevent the infrared receiving switch 406 from obstructing the rolling of the wheel hub. Then, the fourth electric telescopic rod 502 is activated, so that its telescopic end drives the push plate 503 to squeeze the adjusting plate 405, so that the infrared receiving switch 406 is reset. The side of the adjustment plate 405 away from the infrared receiving switch 406 is made of silicone material.
[0025] Going further, such as Figure 4 As shown: The infrared receiver switch 406 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 408 on its outer side. By setting the rubber sleeve 408, the direct impact of the wheel hub on the infrared receiver switch 406 is avoided as much as possible, which helps to protect the infrared receiver switch 406.
[0026] Going further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: A rubber ring 407 is fitted on the outer side of the fixing rod 404. The rubber ring 407 is pressed between the adjusting plate 405 and the U-shaped shell 403. The rubber ring 407 increases the friction between the adjusting plate 405 and the U-shaped shell 403, so that the adjusting plate 405 will not be rotated due to the vibration of the whole device, but will be rotated due to the collision of the wheel hub.
[0027] Working principle: like Figure 1-4 As shown: In use: By placing the wheel hub vertically on the loading end of the rail plate 1, the wheel hub rolls down the inclined rail plate 1 under its own weight. During this process, if the wheel hub shifts position, it will block the infrared rays. At this time, the receiving end of the infrared receiving switch 406 will not receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter 411. The switch of the infrared receiving switch 406 controls the first electric telescopic rod 302 to perform a telescopic movement to reset the wheel hub and maintain its original center position to continue rolling down. This achieves the effect of minimizing the position shift of the wheel hub during the downward rolling under gravity, and at the same time, minimizing the possibility of the wheel hub tipping over and affecting the downward rolling. When the hub collides with the infrared receiving switch 406 at the discharge end of the rail plate 1, the adjusting plate 405 is rotated under force to relieve the force and prevent the infrared receiving switch 406 from obstructing the rotation of the hub.
