Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper pushing mechanism technology, specifically a paper pushing mechanism for a paper inserter. Background Technology
[0002] A horizontal paper inserter is a specialized device for inserting insulating paper into motor stators. Its design features a horizontal operating mode, making it suitable for processing larger stators or stators with high stacking height. The paper pushing mechanism is one of the core functional components, mainly responsible for accurately pushing the insulating paper to the target position.
[0003] Existing patent document CN218976527U discloses a paper pushing mechanism and a paper inserter, comprising a platform, a first base, a drive assembly, a push rod slide, and a push rod. The first base and the drive assembly are fixedly mounted on the platform. The output shaft of the drive assembly is parallel to a first direction D. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt. The drive wheel is coaxially fixedly mounted on the output shaft. The driven wheel is rotatably mounted on the platform about an axis parallel to the first direction. The driven wheel and the drive wheel are arranged along a second direction D. The conveyor belt is wound around the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The push rod slide is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt. The push rod is slidably mounted on the first base along the second direction and its opposite direction, and is fixedly connected to the push rod slide. This paper pushing mechanism can effectively reduce the failure rate and facilitate maintenance. A paper inserter including this paper pushing mechanism is also provided.
[0004] While this device offers numerous advantages, it still suffers from the following problems: The timing belt itself is elastic, and during high-speed starts, stops, and reversals, it undergoes elastic deformation and hysteresis. This causes the linear displacement of the push rod to deviate from a strictly linear relationship with the motor's rotation angle, severely impacting the paper-pushing positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the timing belt drive is prone to slippage and is a wear-prone component, requiring regular maintenance and replacement, increasing operating costs and failure rates. Secondly, its push rod is a rigid structure lacking any overload protection. When encountering obstacles during paper pushing, the immense thrust acts entirely on the paper and the equipment's transmission components, easily leading to paper wrinkling and tearing, push head damage, and even a chain reaction of failures such as motor overload and burnout, or timing belt skipping and breakage.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This paper-pushing mechanism for a paper inserter uses a motor-driven turntable as a crank, which in turn drives a sliding plate in a linear motion via connecting rods and connecting blocks. This constitutes a crank-slider drive mechanism, which is entirely composed of rigid structures with no elastic links in the transmission chain. This effectively improves the transmission rigidity and repeatability of positioning. At the same time, the inherent quick-return characteristic of the crank-slider mechanism makes the paper-pushing stroke smooth and the return stroke quick, significantly improving work efficiency. Compared with the synchronous belt drive used in the closest existing technology, this design fundamentally eliminates the positioning errors caused by the elastic deformation of the synchronous belt, slippage during high-speed operation, and the need for frequent tensioning and replacement after long-term use due to tensile wear. The reliability of the equipment is greatly improved. This type of paper-pushing mechanism for paper inserters integrates a mechanical overload protection mechanism consisting of a preload spring, steel balls, and a floating plate. The thrust value that triggers overload protection can be set by rotating the adjusting nut. It has wide adaptability. During normal paper pushing, the thrust is reliably transmitted through the friction between the steel balls and the spherical groove on the push rod. When the push head encounters abnormal resistance that causes the thrust to exceed the set value, the steel balls will overcome the friction and roll, forcing the floating plate and the push rod to move relative to each other, thereby interrupting the transmission of force, just like a "clutch slippage". This effectively protects the paper from being torn and prevents damage to the transmission components such as the motor and connecting rod. After the overload is eliminated, the mechanism automatically resets under the tension of the connecting spring, without the need for manual intervention, reducing downtime and improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] This utility model provides an overall structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a paper pushing mechanism for a paper inserter, including: Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment of a paper pushing mechanism for a paper inserter includes a support assembly 100, which includes a base 110 for supporting and connecting all other components. A mounting base 120 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 110 by screws for fixing and mounting a drive motor 210. A drive assembly 200 is provided on the top of the mounting base 120. The drive assembly 200 includes a motor 210. A turntable 220 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 210 by screws for converting the rotational motion of the motor 210 into the linear motion of the connecting block 270. A rotating shaft 230 is integrally formed and connected to the side wall of the turntable 220. A connecting rod 240 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 230. A pin 260 is inserted into the side wall of the connecting rod 240. A connecting block 270 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the pin 260. A sliding plate 280 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 270 by screws. A pushing assembly 300 is provided on the side wall of the sliding plate 280. The push assembly 300 includes a push rod 310, a preload spring 320 sleeved on the outer circumference of the push rod 310, and a connecting spring 350 fixedly connected to the side wall of the push rod 310 by screws. This connecting spring 350 is used to pull back the floating plate 360 after overload, so that it reconnects with the steel ball 340 to achieve automatic reset. The floating plate 360 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting spring 350 by screws. The push head 370 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the floating plate 360 by screws. A horizontal paper pusher 400 is provided on the side wall of the push head 370.
[0023] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the installation of other structures, specifically, the support assembly 100 includes a support plate 130. The support plate 130 has a through groove on its side wall. A slider 140 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the through groove. It cooperates with the through groove to constrain the slider 280 to only make linear movements. The bottom of the support plate 130 is fixedly connected to the base 110 by screws. The side wall of the base 110 is fixedly connected to the upright plate 150 by screws. The side wall of the upright plate 150 is fixedly connected to the switch 160 by screws. The switch 160 is electrically connected to the motor 210.
[0024] Next, in order to drive, specifically, multiple sliders 140 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plate 280 by screws, and the side wall of the sliding plate 280 is provided with an insertion hole 281.
[0025] Meanwhile, in order to make the movement of the connecting block 270 smoother, the connecting block 270 has a C-shaped structure. The inner side wall of the connecting block 270 is provided with multiple slots 271 to install and fix the bearings 250. The bearings 250 are inserted into the inner circumference of the slots 271 to reduce friction and make the movement smoother. The pins 260 are inserted into the inner circumference of the bearings 250.
[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate adjustment of the compression amount of the preload spring 310, specifically, a threaded rod 312 is integrally formed on the side wall of the push rod 310. The threaded rod 312 passes through the insertion hole 281, and an adjusting nut 330 is threaded on the outer circumference of the threaded rod 312. By screwing it in and out, the compression amount of the preload spring 320 is adjusted, thereby setting the magnitude of the overload force. A boss 311 is integrally formed on the outer circumference of the push rod 310, which serves as the mounting and support surface for one end of the preload spring 320. The preload spring 320 is welded to the side wall of the boss 311 to provide a preset elastic force, which determines the trigger threshold of the overload protection. The other end of the preload spring 320 abuts against the sliding plate 280.
[0027] It is worth noting that, in order to provide overload protection for the push rod 310, the push rod 310 has multiple spherical slots 271 on its side wall, and steel balls 340 are embedded in the inner side wall of the spherical slots 271. During normal operation, the push force is transmitted through friction. In case of overload, the balls roll off and the force transmission is interrupted. The floating plate 360 has multiple arc grooves on its side wall, and the inner side wall of the arc grooves is in close contact with the steel balls 340. The push head 370 has a V-shaped structure, which helps to align and push the paper.
[0028] Finally, to facilitate the movement of the push rod 310, specifically, a guide seat 380 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the push rod 310 to provide support and precise guidance for the push rod 310, ensuring its linear movement. The side wall of the guide seat 380 is fixedly connected to the horizontal paper pusher 400 by screws.
[0029] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method. Combination Figures 1-5 The paper pushing mechanism for a paper inserter according to this embodiment is used in the following specific way: 1. First, based on the required paper pushing resistance and characteristics, rotate the adjusting nut 330 to compress the preload spring (320) to an appropriate position to set the required overload protection force. The greater the force, the greater the pushing force, and the more difficult it is to trigger an overload. Start the equipment, and the motor 210 drives the turntable 220 to rotate at a constant speed. Through the linkage mechanism, the sliding plate 280 and the push rod 310 are driven to make reciprocating linear motion. Observe whether the movement trajectory of the push head 370 is smooth, and the operation can be controlled by the switch 160. 2: Place the paper to be inserted neatly into the hopper of the horizontal paper pusher 400, start the equipment, and the push rod 310 moves forward under the drive component. The thrust is transmitted to the floating plate 360 and the push head 370 through the steel ball 340, and the bottom sheet of paper is pushed smoothly into the designated position. After the paper push is completed, the push rod 310 quickly returns to the initial position due to the quick return characteristic of the crank slider mechanism, ready for the next paper push cycle. 3. When the pusher head 370 encounters insurmountable resistance during its forward movement, the axial force acting on the steel ball 340 will overcome the preset force of the preload spring 320. At this time, the steel ball 340 rolls within the spherical groove, the push rod 310 continues to move forward, but the pusher head 370 stops, interrupting the force transmission and thus protecting the entire mechanism. If the equipment operator discovers the abnormality, they should stop the machine and troubleshoot the problem. After troubleshooting, the equipment should be restarted. The motor 210 reverses, the push rod 310 retracts, and under the tension of the connecting spring 350, the floating plate 360 will reset and re-engage with the steel ball 340. The mechanism automatically returns to its normal working state without any manual disassembly or adjustment.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
