Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake disc manufacturing technology, specifically to a transfer and loading assembly for a brake disc clamp. Background Technology
[0002] During the processing of brake discs, the brake discs must first be positioned using fixtures before being transferred to the processing area for multiple steps such as labeling or visual inspection. In the traditional model, each step requires a separate dedicated fixture, and operators must first disassemble the brake discs. Moreover, the loading and unloading process relies entirely on manual handling. For brake discs and fixtures with larger diameters and heavier weights, their overall weight often exceeds the reasonable range for manual handling, making it very strenuous for operators to move them. This not only increases labor intensity but also makes it easy for brake discs or fixtures to be bumped or dropped due to physical exhaustion, resulting in workpiece damage or personnel injury. More importantly, the speed of manual handling is limited and cannot match the processing rhythm of the equipment, making it difficult to meet the loading and unloading supply needs of continuous processing, further restricting the overall efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content
[0003] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transfer and loading assembly for a brake disc clamp, comprising an operating table, a double-rail conveying device for the conveying clamp fixed at the bottom of the operating table, a top-moving assembly installed at the top, and lifting assemblies installed on the operating table and located on both sides of the double-rail conveying device and adapted thereto. The operating table has openings on both sides of the double-rail conveying device and above the lifting assemblies. Two pairs of push plates and two pairs of push cylinders slide on the top of the operating table. Each opening is located between a corresponding pair of push plates. Multiple uprights are installed on both the push plates and the operating table, and some of the uprights have protruding columns fixed to their tops.
[0004] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a mounting frame on which a linear module is mounted. The moving end of the linear module is fixed with a lifting plate that slides with the mounting frame. The lifting plate can pass through the operating table and is located between two conveyor belts in the dual-track conveyor device.
[0005] Furthermore, the top-moving assembly includes two pairs of guide plates and a pushing end. A sliding plate connected to the pushing end slides between the tops of the guide plates. A top-feeding end is installed on the top of the sliding plate. An upper top plate is fixed on the top of the top-feeding end. Multiple sets of plate columns are fixed on the upper top plate. Pin plates adapted to the bottom of the clamp are fixed on the plate columns.
[0006] Furthermore, the pushing end can be a pushing cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, the top feeding end can be multiple top cylinders, and multiple guide posts fixed to the top plate are also provided between the sliding plates.
[0008] Furthermore, multiple sets of rotary cylinders are installed on the top of the upper plate, and the rotating shaft end of the rotary cylinder is fixed with a pin plate adapted to the clamp.
[0009] Furthermore, a limit cylinder is installed at the bottom of the dual-track conveyor, and the piston rod of the limit cylinder is fixed with a baffle that passes between the two sets of conveyor belts of the dual-track conveyor.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] The loading and unloading assembly of this brake disc clamp automatically transports the clamp via a double-rail conveyor, using a limit cylinder to drive a baffle to pre-wait for the clamp. The lifting assembly lifts the clamp from the conveyor and transports it above the operating table opening, with a push cylinder driving a push plate to work with the stand and protruding column to achieve stable positioning of the clamp. The top-moving assembly, through the coordinated action of the pushing end and the top-feeding end, combined with pin plates and other structures, realizes the transfer and loading of the clamp. The entire process is automated, effectively reducing the intensity of manual labor, the risk of workpiece damage and personnel injury, while increasing the loading and unloading speed to match the equipment's processing rhythm, meeting the needs of continuous processing, and significantly improving the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 The brake disc clamp transfer and loading assembly in this embodiment includes an operating table 1. The operating table 1 has openings on both sides of the double-rail conveying device 2 and above the lifting assembly. The bottom of the operating table 1 is fixed with the double-rail conveying device 2 for conveying the clamp 20 to be transferred and loaded.
[0020] Among them, the operating table 1 is also equipped with lifting components that are located on both sides of the double-rail conveyor 2 and are adapted to lift the clamp 20 on the double-rail conveyor 2 and transport it to the opening of the operating table 1.
[0021] In addition, the top of the operating table 1 has two pairs of push plates 9 and two pairs of push cylinders 8. The push cylinders 8 drive the push plates 9 to slide. Each opening is located between the corresponding pair of push plates 9. A pair of uprights 10 are installed on the push plates 9. The operating table 1 also has two rows of uprights 10 on the same axis. On one of the two pairs of uprights 10 in each row, a protruding column 11 is installed. The protruding column 11 is adapted to the bottom of the clamp 20. Therefore, the push cylinder can drive the push plates to move, which can expand the opening position to be larger than the clamp, so that the clamp can be raised above the uprights. Then the push plates reset, and the lifting assembly returns to its position, so that the clamp can be placed on the top of the four sets of uprights and limited by the insertion of the protruding column. The uprights 10 and the protruding column 11 are used to assist in supporting and positioning the clamp 20.
[0022] Meanwhile, the top of the operating table 1 is equipped with a top-moving assembly located between two rows of vertical platforms, which is used to lift the clamp 20 with the brake disc positioned and move it to four other sets of vertical platforms, thereby enabling automated transfer to another process for processing and improving efficiency.
[0023] like Figure 2The lifting assembly includes a mounting frame 3 installed on the operating table 1 near the corresponding opening. A linear module 4 is installed on the mounting frame 3, passing through the bottom of the operating table 1 and located in the opening. The moving end of the linear module 4 is fixed with a lifting plate 5 that is slidably connected to the mounting frame 3. The lifting plate 5 can pass through the operating table 1 and is located between the two conveyor belts in the double-track conveyor device 2. The linear module 4 drives the lifting plate 5 to rise, lifting the clamp 20 on the double-track conveyor device 2. Then, it drives the lifting plate 5 and the clamp 20 to move to the opening of the operating table 1 until they are above the corresponding vertical platform and placed on the vertical platform. Then, the lifting plate 5 is lowered to complete the loading operation of the clamp 20. The lifting assembly at the other end causes the lifting plate to move up, separating the clamp from the vertical platform and the protrusion, and placing it on the double-track conveyor device to complete the unloading operation.
[0024] Among them, the bottom of the double-track conveyor 2 is equipped with a limit cylinder 6. The piston rod of the limit cylinder 6 is fixed with a baffle 7 that passes between the two sets of conveyor belts of the double-track conveyor 2. When the clamp 20 is conveyed to the designated position, the limit cylinder 6 drives the baffle 7 to rise, blocking and limiting the subsequent clamp 20, so that the clamp 20 can play a pre-waiting role.
[0025] like Figure 4 The top-moving assembly includes two pairs of guide plates 12 fixed to the operating table 1 and located between two rows of uprights 10, and a pushing end. The pushing end can be a pushing cylinder 14. A slide plate 13 connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 14 is slidably connected between the tops of the guide plates 12. The pushing cylinder 14 drives the slide plate 13 to slide along the guide plates 12. A top-feeding end is installed on the top of the slide plate 13. The top-feeding end can be at least two upper-lifting cylinders 21. An upper-lifting plate 16 is fixed between the piston rods of the upper-lifting cylinders 21. The upper-lifting cylinders 21 drive the upper-lifting plate 16 to rise and fall. Two sets of guide posts 15 are also inserted between the slide plates 13 and fixedly connected to the upper-lifting plate 16. The guide posts 15 play a guiding role to ensure the stability of the upper-lifting plate 16. The upper top plate 16 is fixed with two sets of plate columns 19, and pin plates 17 adapted to the fixture 20 are fixed on the plate columns 19. Two sets of rotary cylinders 18 are also installed on the top of the upper top plate 16. One set of rotary cylinders 18 is located between the two sets of plate columns 19. The rotary cylinder 18 can drive the pin plate 17 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the pin plate 17 to meet the positioning requirements of the fixture 20. At the same time, the direction of the fixture can be adjusted according to the requirements to match the processing steps. The pin plate 17 is used to cooperate with the fixture 20. By pushing up with the upper top cylinder, the pin plate lifts the corresponding fixture and separates it from the stand. Then, the transfer operation of the fixture is completed by pushing the cylinder.
[0026] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0027] The brake disc is fixed to the clamp, which is conveyed on a double-rail conveyor. When it reaches the designated position, a limit cylinder drives a baffle to rise, preventing subsequent clamps from moving further and achieving pre-waiting. The linear module of the lifting assembly drives a lifting plate to rise, passing between the conveyor belts of the double-rail conveyor, lifting the clamp from the double-rail conveyor. Simultaneously, a push cylinder drives a push plate to move in opposite directions, widening the opening space until the lifting plate lifts the clamp above the platform. The push plate then retracts, and the lifting plate retracts again, placing the clamp on the platform and limiting it via a protruding post. Simultaneously, the other end lifting plate lifts up to raise the fixture, widening the opening of the push plate. The lifting plate then moves down, thus completing the unloading process of the fixture and realizing automated loading and unloading operations. The upper lifting cylinder of the top moving component drives the upper top plate to lift up, causing the pin plate to insert into the corresponding fixture and separate from the stand. The rotary cylinder can adjust the rotation of the pin plate as needed, so the direction of the fixture can be adjusted according to the requirements to cooperate with processing. Subsequently, the push cylinder drives the slide plate to slide along the guide plate, which can intermittently move the fixture to one side, thus allowing it to stop in different processing areas to complete the processing operation.
