Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of parts processing, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a cold heading machine. Background Technology

[0002] The feeding mechanism of the cold heading equipment is a key auxiliary device in the cold heading production line. It is mainly used to transport the parts to be processed to the processing area of ​​the cold heading mold, providing a prerequisite for the cold heading equipment to achieve continuous and efficient plastic forming processing. Currently, the feeding mechanism of existing cold heading equipment typically includes a feeding track, a pushing component, and a drive module. In use, the operator first pours a batch of parts to be processed into the feeding end of the feeding track. The feeding track gradually transports the parts to the pushing area through vibration. Then, the drive module drives the pushing component to push the parts at the end of the feeding track toward the feeding port of the cold heading die, completing a single feeding operation, and then working with the cold heading equipment to complete the forging process. When transporting irregularly shaped parts like bolts to be processed on existing cold heading equipment, the feeding track can only achieve directional transport of the parts and cannot correct their posture. When the end of the part is not aligned and the orientation is incorrect, the operator needs to manually stop the machine and adjust the part's posture, which significantly reduces processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To improve processing efficiency, this application provides a feeding mechanism for a cold heading machine.

[0004] The cold heading equipment feeding mechanism provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A cold heading equipment feeding mechanism includes a mounting frame, a machine frame, a vibratory feeding assembly, a limiting assembly, and a transfer assembly. The mounting frame is vertically arranged, and a conveyor frame is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame. A conveyor belt is mounted on the conveyor frame, and a drive motor is mounted on one side of the conveyor frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive roller of the conveyor belt. The machine frame is vertically arranged on one side of the discharge end of the conveyor belt, and a cold heading machine is mounted on the machine frame. The vibratory feeding assembly is located on the mounting frame and is used to drive parts onto the conveyor belt. The limiting assembly is located on the conveyor frame and is used to limit the parts on the conveyor belt. The transfer assembly is located on the machine frame and is used to transfer the parts on the machine frame into the cold heading machine.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when parts need to be loaded onto the cold heading machine, the vibrating feeding component transports the parts onto the conveyor belt. The drive motor drives the conveyor belt to rotate, and the conveyor belt transports the parts towards the frame. The limiting component limits the posture of the parts during the transport process, making it less likely for the parts to be oriented incorrectly. The transfer component then transfers the parts on the conveyor belt to the cold heading machine for processing, making it easier for the parts to be transferred into the cold heading machine, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] Optionally, the vibratory feeding assembly includes a protective box, a box door, and a vibratory feeder; the protective box is mounted on the mounting frame and located on one side of the conveyor frame, one side of the protective box is open, and a clearance hole is provided on the side of the protective box near the conveyor frame; a box door is hinged to the protective box; the vibratory feeder is installed inside the protective box, and a feeding track is fixedly provided at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder, with one end of the feeding track passing through the clearance hole and located on the conveyor belt.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the operator places the parts in the vibratory feeder, closes the box door and drives the vibratory feeder to work, so that the parts are not easily scattered outside the protective box when the vibratory feeder vibrates. The vibration of the vibratory feeder transports the parts in an orderly manner to the feeding track at the discharge end, and the feeding track transports the parts to the conveyor belt, making it easy to achieve automatic feeding of parts.

[0008] Optionally, the vibratory feeding assembly further includes a guide plate; the guide plate is fixedly disposed at the top of the feeding track.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the guide plate guides the parts conveyed from the vibratory feeder to the feeding track, so that the large diameter end of the part is located below the guide plate and the small diameter end is located on one side of the guide plate, making it easy to adjust the posture of the part.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting component includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate; the first limiting plate is fixedly disposed at the top of the conveyor frame, and the second limiting plate is fixedly disposed at the top of the conveyor frame and located on one side of the first limiting plate; the gap distance between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate is adapted to the small diameter end of the part; and the distance between the first limiting plate and the conveyor belt is greater than the thickness of the large diameter end of the part.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the conveyor belt transports parts, the small-diameter end of the part passes through the gap between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate, while the large-diameter end of the part passes through the gap below, so that the part maintains a specific posture during the transport process, thereby achieving the correction and limiting of the part's posture.

[0012] Optionally, a guide plate is horizontally arranged on the side of the conveyor belt near the frame, and the guide plate is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the guide plate guides the parts conveyed by the conveyor belt to the vicinity of the frame, making it easier for the parts to be transferred from the conveyor belt to the designated position, reducing the offset of the parts during the transfer process, and thus making it easier for the transfer component to clamp and transfer the parts.

[0014] Optionally, the transfer assembly includes a first transfer section, a second transfer section, and a pneumatic gripper; the first transfer section is located on the frame and is used to drive the pneumatic gripper to slide in the horizontal direction; the second transfer section is located on the frame and is used to drive the pneumatic gripper to slide in the vertical direction; the pneumatic gripper is located on the frame and is used to grip parts on the frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when parts need to be transferred, the operator drives the pneumatic gripper to pick up the parts on the frame. The first transfer unit drives the pneumatic gripper to move horizontally, and the second transfer unit drives the pneumatic gripper to move vertically. The first and second transfer units transfer the parts into the cold heading machine through the coordinated movement of the horizontal and vertical directions, making the parts easy to transfer automatically and further improving the processing efficiency.

[0016] Optionally, the first transfer unit includes a support rod, a first linear motor, and a first drive block; the support rod is vertically mounted on the frame and fixedly connected to the frame; the first linear motor is horizontally mounted on the top of the support rod; and the first drive block is fixedly mounted on the mover of the first linear motor.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the operator drives the first linear motor to work, and the mover of the first linear motor drives the first drive block to slide in the horizontal direction, thereby making it easy for the pneumatic gripper to slide in the horizontal direction.

[0018] Optionally, the second transfer unit includes a second linear motor and a second drive block; the second linear motor is vertically mounted on the first drive block; the second drive block is fixedly mounted on the mover of the second linear motor and is fixedly connected to the pneumatic gripper.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the operator drives the second linear motor to work, the second linear motor drives the second drive block to slide in the vertical direction, and the second drive block drives the pneumatic gripper to slide in the vertical direction, thereby making it easy to transfer the parts into the cold heading machine.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses a feeding mechanism for a cold heading machine. (Refer to...)

The vibratory feeding assembly 3 is located on the mounting frame 1 and is used to drive the feeding of parts. The limiting assembly 4 is located on the mounting frame 1 and is used to limit the movement of parts on the mounting frame 1. The transfer assembly 5 is located on the machine frame 2 and is used to transfer the parts on the machine frame 2 into the cold heading machine 21.

[0025] When parts need to be loaded onto the cold heading machine 21, the vibrating feeding assembly 3 conveys the parts toward the frame 2, the limiting assembly 4 limits the posture of the parts during the conveying process, and the transfer assembly 5 then transfers the parts on the conveyor belt 112 into the cold heading machine 21 for processing.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A conveyor frame 11 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. A conveyor belt 112 is mounted on the conveyor frame 11, and a drive motor 111 is mounted on one side of the conveyor frame 11. The output shaft of the drive motor 111 is fixedly connected to the drive roller of the conveyor belt 112. A guide plate 113 is horizontally arranged on the side of the conveyor belt 112 near the frame 2. The guide plate 113 is rectangular and fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 11.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vibrating feeding assembly 3 includes a protective box 31, a door 32, a vibrating plate 33, and a guide plate 34. The protective box 31 is vertically mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is rectangular in shape. The protective box 31 is located on one side of the conveyor frame 11, and one side of the protective box 31 is open. A clearance hole 311 is provided on the side of the protective box 31 near the conveyor frame 11. The clearance hole 311 is rectangular in shape. The door 32 is hinged to the protective box 31.

One end of the feeding track 331 passes through the clearance hole 311 and is located on the conveyor belt 112. The guide plate 34 is located at the top of the feeding track 331 and is rectangular in shape.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The limiting component 4 includes a first limiting plate 41 and a second limiting plate 42. The first limiting plate 41 is horizontally disposed at the top of the conveyor frame 11 and is rectangular in shape, and is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 11. The second limiting plate 42 is horizontally disposed at the top of the conveyor frame 11 and is rectangular in shape, and is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 11 and located on one side of the first limiting plate 41. The gap distance between the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 42 is adapted to the small diameter end of the part, and the distance between the first limiting plate 41 and the conveyor belt 112 is greater than the thickness of the large diameter end of the part.

[0029] In use, the operator places the parts into the vibratory feeder 33. After placing the parts, the operator closes the door 32 and drives the vibratory feeder 33 to work. The vibratory feeder 33 vibrates and transports the parts in an orderly manner to the feeding track 331 at the discharge end. The guide plate 34 guides the parts transported from the vibratory feeder 33 to the feeding track 331, which then transports the parts onto the conveyor belt 112. When the conveyor belt 112 transports the parts, the smaller diameter end of the part passes through the gap between the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 42, while the larger diameter end passes under the gap, thus maintaining a specific posture for the parts during transport.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 The transfer assembly 5 includes a first transfer section 51, a second transfer section 52, and a pneumatic gripper 53. The first transfer section 51 is located on the frame 2 and is used to drive the pneumatic gripper 53 to slide horizontally.

[0031] The first transfer unit 51 includes a support rod 511, a first linear motor 512, and a first drive block 513. The support rod 511 is vertically mounted on the frame 2 and is rectangular in shape, and is fixedly connected to the frame 2.

The second drive block 522 is fixedly mounted on the mover of the second linear motor 521 and is rectangular in shape. The second drive block 522 is fixedly connected to the pneumatic gripper 53.

[0033] When parts need to be transferred, the operator drives the pneumatic gripper 53 to pick up the parts on the frame 2. After the parts are picked up, the operator drives the first linear motor 512 and the second linear motor 521 to work. The mover of the first linear motor 512 drives the first drive block 513 to slide horizontally, and the second linear motor 521 drives the second drive block 522 to slide vertically. The second drive block 522 drives the pneumatic gripper 53 to slide vertically. The first linear motor 512 and the second linear motor 521 move in coordination in the horizontal and vertical directions to transfer the parts into the cold heading machine 21.

[0034] The implementation principle of the feeding mechanism of a cold heading machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When a part needs to be fed to the cold heading machine 21, the operator places the part in the vibratory feeder 33. After placing the part, the operator closes the door 32 and drives the vibratory feeder 33 to work. The vibratory feeder 33 vibrates and orderly conveys the part to the feeding track 331 at the discharge end. The guide plate 34 guides the part conveyed from the vibratory feeder 33 to the feeding track 331. The feeding track 331 conveys the part to the conveyor belt 112. When the part is conveyed on the conveyor belt 112, the small-diameter end of the part passes through the gap between the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 42, while the large-diameter end of the part passes under the gap, thereby maintaining a specific posture of the part during the conveying process.

[0035] When the part is on the frame 2, the operator drives the pneumatic gripper 53 to pick up the part from the frame 2. After the part is picked up, the operator drives the first linear motor 512 and the second linear motor 521 to work. The mover of the first linear motor 512 drives the first drive block 513 to slide horizontally, and the second linear motor 521 drives the second drive block 522 to slide vertically. The second drive block 522 drives the pneumatic gripper 53 to slide vertically. The first linear motor 512 and the second linear motor 521 move in coordination in the horizontal and vertical directions to transfer the part into the cold heading machine 21.
