Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of forging processing equipment, specifically an arrangement feeding device for automated feeding of cylindrical forgings, which is particularly suitable for forging production lines that require precise material handling and position calibration. Background Technology
[0002] In the continuous processing of forgings, the stability and material handling accuracy of the feeding device directly affect production efficiency; existing vibratory feeder or horizontal chain conveyor devices have the following drawbacks: 1. Complex structure and poor adaptability: Traditional vibratory feeders rely on high-frequency vibration to achieve the directional arrangement of forgings, which can easily cause stacking jamming of cylindrical forgings. In addition, the vibration noise is high and the energy consumption is high. Horizontal conveying devices require an additional pushing mechanism to force material distribution, resulting in a large space occupation of the equipment.
[0003] 2. Insufficient material handling accuracy: When using mechanical claws to handle forgings in batches, the position of the forgings in the hopper is random, which can easily lead to multiple materials being picked up at once or empty picks; when the stroke design of the pushing mechanism is unreasonable, the gap between the pushing block and the frame can easily cause the forgings to get stuck, resulting in equipment shutdown.
[0004] 3. Lack of online calibration function: After the forging is removed, it needs to be manually or at an independent station for position correction, which not only increases the time of the process, but also causes the subsequent robotic arm to be inaccurate in grasping due to secondary positioning errors, which seriously affects the production line cycle.
[0005] The aforementioned defects restrict the automation level and production yield of forging material feeding, and there is an urgent need for an integrated feeding device that integrates material storage, precise single-piece material picking, and real-time calibration. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the problems of complex structure, low material handling accuracy, and lack of online calibration function in existing forging feeding devices, and to achieve efficient and accurate automated feeding, this utility model provides a forging arrangement feeding device. Through gravity self-positioning of the inclined frame, lifting material handling with push block thickness matching the forging diameter, and centering calibration of guide rod linkage support block clamping block, the device achieves integrated operation with a 40% simplification of the feeding structure, zero material handling errors, and online calibration error ≤0.1mm.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a forging arrangement and feeding device, including a frame with its top inclined; multiple racks, spaced apart along the length of the frame and fixedly connected to the frame, forming a hopper for storing forgings between adjacent racks; a cover plate, vertically pullable and disposed at one end of the rack, for opening and closing the end opening of the hopper; and a material handling assembly disposed at the other end of the rack, including: a plate base, vertically fixed to the frame; and a pusher block, disposed at the center line position inside the plate base and capable of linear reciprocating lifting, the thickness of which is equal to the diameter of the forging and the length of which is equal to the diameter of the forging. The maximum pushing stroke inside the hopper; the first cylinder, whose cylinder body is fixed to the plate seat, and whose piston rod is connected to the push block to drive its lifting and lowering; the calibration component, located on one side of the picking component, includes: a plate strip, which is horizontally fixed to the back of the plate seat; two rod seats, which are symmetrically arranged on the plate strip; two guide rods, which are placed side by side horizontally between the rod seats; two support blocks, which are symmetrically sleeved on the guide rods and can slide, and whose tops are provided with arc-shaped grooves adapted to the forgings; two clamping blocks, which are L-shaped and respectively fixedly connected to the support blocks; the second cylinder, whose cylinder body is fixed to the rod seat, and whose piston rod is connected to the clamping blocks to drive the clamping blocks and support blocks to slide along the guide rods.
[0008] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the frame plate is connected to the machine frame by bolts.
[0009] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the cover plate and the frame plate are fixed together by bolts.

[0011] The forging arrangement and feeding device described above has a rectangular groove on the back of the pusher block for accommodating the slide rail.
[0012] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the rod seat and the plate are connected by bolts.
[0013] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the clamping block and the support block are connected by bolts.
[0014] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the cylinder seat and plate seat of the first cylinder, as well as the cylinder rod and push block, are all connected by bolts.
[0015] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, the cylinder seat and rod seat of the second cylinder, as well as the cylinder rod and clamping block, are all connected by bolts.
[0016] In the forging arrangement and feeding device described above, there is no jamming gap between the pusher block and the frame when the pusher block is raised to the top.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Simplified structure: The tilting hopper uses gravity for automatic feeding, replacing the vibratory feeder or complex pushing mechanism, reducing the equipment footprint by more than 40% and energy consumption by 35%; 2. Zero material handling errors: The precise design of the pusher block thickness / stroke completely eliminates excess material and jamming, ensuring a 100% material handling success rate; 3. Integrated online calibration: The forging is centered and positioned within 0.5 seconds after ejection, with a position error of ≤0.1mm, improving the gripping efficiency of subsequent processes by 30%.

[0024] This embodiment describes in detail a forging arrangement and feeding device, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the overall structure of the forging feeding device is based on the frame 1. The top of the frame 1 is inclined, which facilitates the natural movement of the forgings in a specific direction under the action of gravity. Frame plates 2 are arranged at intervals along the length of the frame 1. The frame plates 2 are tightly connected to the frame 1 by bolts. A hopper for storing forgings is formed between adjacent frame plates 2. A cover plate 3 that can be pulled vertically is provided at one end of the frame plate 2. The cover plate 3 is also connected to the frame plate 2 by bolts. When the number of forgings in the hopper is insufficient, the operator can pull down the cover plate 3 to open one end of the hopper, thereby replenishing the hopper between the frame plates 2 with forgings. After replenishment, the cover plate 3 is pulled back and fixed with bolts to ensure that the hopper is closed.
[0025] At the other end of the support plate 2, a material handling assembly 4 is arranged. This assembly is used for single vertical pushing and handling of forgings. The material handling assembly 4 includes a plate base 41, a pusher block 42, a slide rail 43, a slider 44, and a first cylinder 45. The plate base 41 is vertically arranged at one end of the support plate 2 and is securely connected to the frame 1 by bolts. A pusher block 42, capable of linear reciprocating lifting, is positioned at the center line of the length direction inside the plate base 41. The length of the pusher block 42 is carefully designed to be equal to the maximum pushing stroke inside the hopper. This design ensures that when the push block 42 rises to the top, there is no gap between the push block 42 and the frame 1 that could cause the forging to get stuck, thus avoiding material jamming and ensuring a smooth material handling process. The first cylinder 45 is the power source for the reciprocating motion of the push block 42. Its cylinder seat end is bolted to the plate seat 41, and the cylinder rod end is also bolted to the push block 42. When the first cylinder 45 operates, the extension and retraction of the cylinder rod drives the push block 42 to perform a linear reciprocating lifting and lowering motion within the plate seat 41. To improve the lifting... To ensure the stability of the reciprocating motion of the push block 42, a slide rail 43 and a slider 44 are arranged between the plate base 41 and the push block 42. The slide rail 43 is symmetrically and spaced apart along the upper length of the plate base 41. The slider 44 is slidably connected to the upper part of the slide rail 43. To reduce the encroachment of the slider 44 and slide rail 43 on the internal space of the hopper, the slider 44 is bolted to one end of the push block 42 along its length. At the same time, a rectangular groove 46 for accommodating the slide rail 43 is provided on the back of the push block 42 during lifting. This ingenious design can reduce the space occupied by the slide rail 43 in the hopper and avoid motion interference between the push block 42 and the slide rail 43 during lifting, ensuring the smooth movement of the push block 42. The thickness of the push block 42 is equal to the diameter of the forging. This key dimension design allows the push block 42 to pick up only one forging at a time during lifting, ensuring the accuracy and singleness of material picking. Since the forging is a cylindrical structure, it will automatically move towards the push block 42 under its own weight in the hopper, making it easier for the push block 42 to pick up the material.
[0026] A calibration component 5 is arranged on one side of the material handling component 4. This component is used to center and align the forging after material handling, so as to facilitate accurate material handling of the forging in subsequent processes. The calibration component 5 includes a strip 51, a rod seat 52, a guide rod 53, a support block 54, a clamping block 55, and a second cylinder 56. The strip 51 is placed horizontally on the back of the plate seat 41 and is firmly connected and fixed to the plate seat 41 by bolts. The rod seat 52 is symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the strip 51 and is connected to the strip 51 by bolts. Two guide rods 53 are placed horizontally between the rod seats 52 with intervals and side by side. The upper part of the guide rod 53 is symmetrically fitted with a support block 54 that can slide back and forth along its surface. The top of the support block 54 is opened with an arc adapted to the forging. When the forging is pushed to the position of the calibration component 5 by the material handling component 4, the forging will fall into the arc-shaped groove 57 of the support block 54. A clamping block 55 bolted to one side of the support block 54 is horizontally placed. The clamping block 55 is L-shaped and its function is to perform centering and correction operation on the forging after clamping. The cylinder seat of the second cylinder 56 is fixed to the rod seat 52 by bolts. The cylinder rod of the second cylinder 56 is bolted to the clamping block 55. When the second cylinder 56 works, the extension and retraction of the cylinder rod pushes the clamping block 55 and the support block 54 to reciprocate along the surface of the guide rod 53, thereby supporting and centering the forging, so that the forging is in an accurate position, which is convenient for subsequent processes to grasp and process.
[0027] The working process of this forging feeding device is as follows: First, by pulling the cover plate 3, a sufficient number of cylindrical forgings are added to the hopper. The forgings automatically move towards the push block 42 under their own gravity. When material needs to be picked up, the first cylinder 45 is activated, and the cylinder rod extends to push the push block 42 upward. During the upward movement of the push block 42, a forging is pushed out of the hopper. After being pushed out, the forging falls into the arc-shaped groove 57 of the support block 54 of the calibration component 5. At this time, the second cylinder 56 is activated, and the cylinder rod extends and retracts, driving the clamping block 55 and the support block 54 to move along the guide rod 53 to perform a centering and correction operation on the forging, so that the forging is in the accurate position and waiting for the subsequent material picking process. The whole process is highly automated and accurate, which can effectively improve production efficiency.
