Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, and in particular to a steel wheel separation device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, steel rings are often stored in a stacked manner, requiring individual separation of the stacked steel rings for subsequent assembly or further processing. However, the traditional method of separating circular wire steel rings has many technical drawbacks, severely restricting production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Application number CN201420676810.4 discloses an automatic steel ring supply device. A separating conveyor belt, a main conveyor belt, and a pre-supply conveyor belt are installed on a base support. The separating conveyor belt and the pre-supply conveyor belt are at the same horizontal height. The main conveyor belt is installed directly below the separating conveyor belt. A bracket is installed on the side guide rail of the frame-shaped bracket. A longitudinal separation device and a longitudinal clamping device for steel rings are installed on the bracket. A lower end gripper device for steel rings is installed at the lower end of the longitudinal clamping device. A steel ring positioning device is installed on one side of the frame-shaped bracket. A transverse separation device for steel rings is installed at the middle part of the lower end of the steel ring positioning device. Brackets are fixed on the frames at both ends of the main conveyor belt. A radial clamping and centering device for steel rings controlled by a cylinder is installed on the bracket.

[0004] The above technical solutions are single clamping or hooking structures, which cannot adapt to the annular curved surface shape of circular steel wire rings. They can only grasp stacked steel rings as a whole, making it difficult to accurately distinguish adjacent steel rings. This often results in the mistaken grabbing of "multiple rings at once" or "steel rings tangled together," requiring repeated disassembly and adjustment, which significantly extends the operation time. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a steel ring separation device that solves the problems of difficulty and easy damage in separating traditional circular steel wire rings in the prior art, which requires the adaptation of a ring-shaped layered anti-slip device.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.

[0007] A steel ring separation device includes a bracket and a picking device; the picking device is disposed on the bracket; a support plate is disposed on the bracket; a slide is slidably connected to the support plate; a first clamping member is disposed on the slide; second clamping members are disposed on both sides of the slide; a first pushing member is disposed on the support plate; the first pushing member drives the first clamping member to travel on the support plate; a first gripper is disposed at the clamping end of the first clamping member; a second gripper is disposed at the clamping end of the second clamping member; the length of the first gripper is shorter than the length of the second gripper.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The first clamping member has second pushing members on both sides; the second pushing members face the steel ring; when the second pushing members extend and abut against the steel ring, the second gripper can correspond to the next set of steel rings to be picked up.

[0009] When the first pusher extends, the first gripper corresponds to the steel ring being picked up.

[0010] The first gripper and the second gripper have toothed grooves on their end faces; the toothed grooves are perpendicular to the moving direction of the steel ring.

[0011] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: 1. The device utilizes a combination of long and short grippers ("first gripper + second gripper") to achieve layered separation of stacked circular wire rings. The shorter first gripper, driven by the first pusher, precisely targets the topmost ring to be picked up, firmly gripping its surface with teeth on its end face (perpendicular to the ring's direction of movement) to prevent slippage. The longer second gripper, located on either side of the slide block, naturally conforms to the annular curved surface of the lower ring. When the first gripper holds the upper ring, the second gripper simultaneously presses against the lower ring, creating a physical barrier. This prevents adjacent rings from being pulled up along with the upper ring due to entanglement or adhesion, completely separating the upper and lower sets of rings. This eliminates the erroneous operation of traditional devices that "pick up multiple rings at once," eliminating the need for subsequent disassembly and adjustment, and providing precisely separated individual rings for the next process.

[0012] 2. Both the first and second grippers have toothed grooves perpendicular to the direction of the steel ring's movement on their end faces. This not only adapts to the annular curved shape of the circular steel wire ring but also increases friction with the ring through the toothed grooves, preventing slippage and displacement during clamping. Compared to traditional rigid clamping or hooking structures, this design avoids single-point compression of the thin steel wire, reducing deformation of the steel ring and bending of the wire due to improper clamping force. Simultaneously, automated mechanical separation replaces manual disassembly, reducing direct contact between workers and the steel ring, avoiding the safety hazard of hand injuries from the steel wire, and improving product qualification rate and operational safety.

[0013] 3. The first pushing component drives the first clamping component to clamp the first steel ring. After the first clamping component clamps the first steel ring, it pulls the first steel ring backward. The second clamping component clamps the second steel ring, which does not move at this time. Before the first clamping component clamps the first steel ring, the second pushing component positions the first steel ring. After the first steel ring is clamped by the first clamping component, the second pushing component retracts. The entire separation process requires no manual intervention, and the "clamping-differentiation-separation" is completed in one go, significantly shortening the separation time of a single set of steel rings. This meets the needs of continuous production in fields such as automobile manufacturing and machining for rapid steel ring turnover, reducing the risk of production line shutdown due to excessive separation time. A moving module is provided on the rear side of the first pushing component, which can adjust the position of the first pushing component to cope with different steel ring widths.

[0018] This application provides a steel ring separation device that solves the problems of difficulty and easy damage in separating traditional circular steel wire rings in the prior art, which requires the adaptation of a ring-shaped layered anti-slip device.

[0019] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows: To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] Basic frame: The bracket 1 is a welded metal profile structure with a fixed support plate 3 at the bottom. A slide rail is opened on the surface of the support plate 3. The slide 4 is slidably connected to the slide rail through a slider and can move horizontally along the support plate 3. A first pusher 7 is connected to one side of the support plate 3, and its output end is connected to the slide 4, which can drive the slide 4 to move the clamping assembly back and forth.

[0021] Layered clamping assembly: A first clamping member 5 is installed on the top of the slide 4, and a first clamping claw 51 is symmetrically arranged at its clamping end; a second clamping member 6 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the slide 4, and a second clamping claw 61 is arranged at its clamping end. The length of the first clamping claw 51 is shorter than that of the second clamping claw 61; the clamping end faces of the first clamping claw 51 and the second clamping claw 61 are both provided with toothed grooves 9 to enhance the friction with the steel wire.

[0022] Limiting auxiliary structure: The second pusher 8 is installed on both sides of the first clamping member 5. The piston rod end is a metal head with an embedded magnet. It attracts the first steel ring and assists in separation. It extends towards the inner wall of the stacked steel rings and can abut against the steel ring to limit the position.

[0023] Initially, the slide 4 is located on the side of the support plate 3 near the stacked steel rings, and the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are both in the open state; the stacked steel rings are placed vertically on the positioning frame next to the support plate 3, the height of the uppermost steel ring to be separated is aligned with the first clamping claw 51, and the lower steel ring is positioned corresponding to the second clamping claw 61; the second pushing member 8 is in the retracted state and does not contact the steel rings.

[0024] The first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are activated and closed simultaneously: the first clamping jaw 51 precisely bites the outer steel wire of the uppermost steel ring to be separated, and the tooth groove 9 is embedded in the gap of the steel wire to prevent slippage; the second clamping jaw 61 closes simultaneously, and its longer clamping end is attached to the outer side of the lower steel ring, and also bites the steel wire through the tooth groove 9 to form a preliminary limit on the lower steel ring.

[0025] At this time, the first gripper 51 and the second gripper 61 are misaligned in the vertical direction, clearly distinguishing the steel ring to be separated from the lower steel ring, and preventing the intertwined steel wires from causing multiple steel rings to move synchronously.

[0026] Activate the second pushers 8 on both sides of the first clamping member 5, extend the piston rod, and press the arc-shaped rubber head against the inner wall of the lower steel ring below the steel ring to be separated. With the outer clamping of the second gripper 61, the lower steel ring is firmly fixed on the positioning frame to ensure its stable position and prevent it from moving with the upper steel ring.

[0027] During the limiting process, the thrust of the second pusher 8 can be adjusted by air pressure to avoid excessive pressure causing deformation of the steel wire, while the rubber head material prevents scratches on the surface of the steel ring.

[0028] The first pusher 7 is activated, and its output end drives the slide block 4 to move away from the positioning frame along the slide rail of the support plate 3. The first gripper 51 clamps the steel ring to be separated and moves synchronously. Since the lower steel ring is restricted in its original position by the second gripper 61 and the second pusher 8, the winding steel wire between the two is forcibly pulled apart, realizing the complete separation of the single-ring steel ring and the stacked steel ring.

[0029] During the movement, the tooth grooves 9 of the first gripper 51 continuously engage the steel ring to prevent it from falling off during separation; the second gripper 61 maintains its grip on the lower steel ring to prevent the lower steel ring from tilting or shifting due to the upper steel ring being moved away.

[0030] When the slide 4 moves to the preset position, the first clamping member 5 opens, releasing the separated single-ring steel ring; at the same time, the second pushing member 8 retracts, and the second clamping member 6 opens, releasing the restriction on the lower steel ring.

[0031] The first pusher 7 drives the slide 4 to reset to its initial position, waiting for the stacked steel rings on the positioning frame to rise under the action of the lifting mechanism, and enter the next separation cycle.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
