Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of synchronizer slider technology, and in particular to a slider feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly system of automotive transmissions, the dimensional accuracy of the synchronizer slider is a key factor in ensuring shift synchronization performance. The synchronizer slider needs to form a precise fit with components such as the gear ring and engagement sleeve. If there is a deviation in its length dimension, especially if it is a defective product shorter than the standard value, it will lead to excessive clearance. In severe cases, it may cause malfunctions such as shifting jamming and synchronization failure, directly affecting the service life of the transmission and driving safety.

[0003] Currently, the feeding of synchronizer sliders largely relies on automated equipment such as vibratory feeders or conveyor belts for batch transport. The core function of these feeding devices is to achieve the orderly arrangement and directional transport of sliders, but their structural design does not effectively differentiate the length dimensions of the sliders. Because some sliders may become short-sized defects during production due to forging errors, tool wear, etc., existing feeding devices cannot screen these defects. Short-sized sliders enter the conveyor track along with qualified sliders and ultimately get mixed into the assembly process. To remove these defects, a manual inspection step must be added in subsequent processes, measuring the length of each slider with calipers. This not only increases labor costs but also leads to missed inspections due to fatigue errors in manual operation, making it difficult to meet the quality control requirements of large-scale mass production. Furthermore, once defective products enter the assembly station, they may cause assembly equipment to jam, or even lead to the rework of the entire batch, significantly increasing production costs. Therefore, we propose a slider feeding mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a slider feeding mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a slider feeding mechanism, including a base, a collection box is provided on one side of the base, the base and the collection box are fixedly connected by a defective product box, a drive motor is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the two sides of the base, a drive shaft is rotatably installed on the inner wall of one side of the base, a first swing arm is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft, a second swing arm is provided on the first swing arm, and two detection shafts are fixedly provided on one side of the base above the defective product box, and a detection component is provided between the two detection shafts.

[0006] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the first swing arm is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft, and the other end of the first swing arm is hinged to the end of the second swing arm.

[0008] Preferably, a groove extending from the middle to the end is provided on the side of the two detection shafts that are close to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the detection assembly includes a sliding ring, an extension rod, a synchronous push plate, and an anti-drop rod. Sliding rings are slidably sleeved on the outer walls of both detection shafts. Both sliding rings are half-circular in shape. A synchronous push plate is fixedly connected between the two sliding rings. A pair of extension rods are fixedly connected to each side of the synchronous push plate. The pair of extension rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding rings. Anti-drop rods are fixedly connected to the sides of both sliding rings above the detection shafts.

[0010] Preferably, a hinge seat is fixedly connected to the back of the synchronous push plate, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the hinge seat, and the end of the second swing arm is rotatably sleeved with the rotating shaft.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In use, this utility model uses two horizontally parallel detection shafts and a gradually widening groove in the middle to automatically identify defective products with a length shorter than the standard value during the slider conveying process. Defective sliders cannot be placed on both detection shafts at the same time and fall from the groove into the defective product box, while qualified sliders smoothly enter the collection box. This solves the problem that traditional feeding devices cannot screen short-sized defective products, avoids the risk of shifting failures caused by defective products mixed into the assembly process, and greatly improves the stability of synchronizer assembly quality.

[0013] In use, the half-circular sliding ring slides tightly against the outer wall of the detection shaft, which can stably push the slider forward and avoid scratching the slider surface through the arc structure. The synchronous push plate connects the two sliding rings through the extension rod to ensure that the thrust on both sides is synchronized, prevent the slider from tilting or jamming during the conveying process, and improve the smoothness of the feeding process. It is especially suitable for synchronizer sliders with high surface precision requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a slider feeding mechanism is disclosed, including a base 1, a collection box 2 is provided on one side of the base 1, the base 1 and the collection box 2 are fixedly connected by a defective product box 3, a drive motor 4 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the two sides of the base 1, an active shaft 5 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of one side of the base 1, a first swing arm 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the active shaft 5, a second swing arm 7 is provided on the first swing arm 6, and two detection shafts 8 are fixedly provided on one side of the base 1 above the defective product box 3, and a detection component is provided between the two detection shafts 8.

[0023] The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 5.

[0024] One end of the first swing arm 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft 5, and the other end of the first swing arm 6 is hinged to the end of the second swing arm 7.

[0025] A slot 9 extending from the middle to the end is provided on one side of the two detection shafts 8 that are close to each other. The two horizontally parallel detection shafts 8 provide stable support for the slider. The slot 9 on the side that is close to each other gradually widens from the middle to the end, forming a "size screening channel". This structure utilizes the matching relationship between the slider length and the distance between the detection shafts to automatically distinguish qualified parts from short-size defective parts without additional sensors. The screening logic is direct and reliable, avoiding the risk of failure of electronic detection components and reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0026] The detection assembly includes a sliding ring 10, an extension rod 11, a synchronous push plate 12, and an anti-drop rod 14. Sliding rings 10 are slidably sleeved on the outer walls of both detection shafts 8. Both sliding rings 10 are half-circular in shape. A synchronous push plate 12 is fixedly connected between the two sliding rings 10. A pair of extension rods 11 are fixedly connected to each side of the synchronous push plate 12, and each pair of extension rods 11 is fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding ring 10. Anti-drop rods 14 are fixedly connected to the sides of both sliding rings 10 above the detection shafts 8. These symmetrically arranged anti-drop rods 14 on the sides of the sliding rings 10 form a limiting barrier from both sides when the slider is pushed, effectively... The slider is prevented from detaching from the detection shaft 8 due to inertia or slight vibration, avoiding feeding interruption or secondary damage caused by slider falling, reducing the extra operation of manual picking, and ensuring the continuity of the production line. The half-circular sliding ring 10 slides tightly against the outer wall of the detection shaft 8, which can not only stably push the slider forward, but also avoid scratching the slider surface through the arc structure. The synchronous push plate 12 connects the two sliding rings 10 through the extension rod 11 to ensure that the thrust on both sides is synchronized, preventing the slider from tilting or jamming during the conveying process, improving the smoothness of the feeding process, and is especially suitable for synchronizer sliders with high surface precision requirements.

[0027] A hinge seat 13 is fixedly connected to the back of the synchronous push plate 12. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the hinge seat 13. The end of the second swing arm 7 is rotatably sleeved with the rotating shaft 15. The drive motor 4 drives the first swing arm 6 and the second swing arm 7 to form a crank-connecting rod structure through the drive shaft 5, which converts the rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion of the synchronous push plate 12. The transmission efficiency is high and the action is controllable. The cooperation between the hinge seat 13 and the rotating shaft 15 provides flexible steering for the swing arm movement, ensuring that the push plate pushing and resetting actions are smooth and without jamming. This realizes the automated cycle of feeding and screening, and greatly reduces the intensity of manual operation.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the operator places the synchronizer sliders to be fed in batches on top of the two detection shafts 8, ensuring that the sliders are all between the two anti-drop rods 14. The anti-drop rods 14 can limit the sliders from both sides to prevent the sliders from deviating from the detection shafts 8 during subsequent pushing. Then, the drive motor 4 is started, and its output shaft drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate clockwise. When the drive shaft 5 rotates, the first swing arm 6, which is sleeved on its outer wall, swings towards the second swing arm 7 with the drive shaft 5 as the center. Since the ends of the first swing arm 6 and the second swing arm 7 are hinged, the second swing arm 7 moves synchronously under the drive of the first swing arm 6. Its end away from the first swing arm 6 rotates on the outer wall of the pivot 15 of the hinge seat 13, and at the same time generates an outward pushing force on the hinge seat 13. After the hinge seat 13 is subjected to force, it drives the synchronous push plate 12, which is fixed to it, to move towards the collection box 2. The synchronous push plate 12 drives the two sliding rings 10 to slide on the outer walls of the two detection shafts 8 respectively through the extension rods 11 on both sides. During the sliding process, the inner wall of the sliding ring 10 is in close contact with the outer wall of the detection shaft 8 to ensure smooth movement. At the same time, the side of the sliding ring 10 will contact the slider, pushing the slider along the top of the detection shaft 8 towards the collection box 2. The two detection shafts 8 are set horizontally and parallel. The groove 9 opened on the side that is close to each other gradually widens from the middle to the end, that is, the distance between the two detection shafts 8 gradually increases from the beginning to the end. When the slider is pushed to the deflection groove 9 area, the defective slider that is shorter than the standard value will fall from the deflection groove 9 and into the defective product box 3 below because its two ends cannot be placed on the top of the two detection shafts 8 at the same time. The qualified slider that meets the standard length can be stably placed on the top of the two detection shafts 8 and continue to be pushed by the sliding ring 10. Finally, it will enter the collection box 2 smoothly, realizing the automatic separation and screening of qualified sliders and defective sliders. When the drive motor 4 drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate counterclockwise, the first swing arm 6 and the second swing arm 7 swing in opposite directions. The synchronous push plate 12 and the sliding ring 10 are reset under the pull of the hinge seat 13, waiting for the next batch of sliders to be loaded. This cycle completes the continuous loading and screening operation.
