Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piston ring equipment, specifically a matching feeding device for a piston ring testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In power equipment such as engines and compressors, piston rings are critical sealing components, and their machining precision and quality directly affect the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment. Therefore, after piston rings are manufactured, they must undergo rigorous quality testing to select products that meet the standards.
[0003] To ensure continuity and efficiency in the testing process, testing production lines typically require corresponding unloading devices to orderly discharge the tested piston rings, preventing accumulation and ensuring smooth connection of testing steps. Due to the inherent structural characteristics of piston rings, they usually have notches in their circumference, such as notches for installation or compensation. During the unloading process, the orientation of these notches directly affects the sliding posture and orderly arrangement of the piston rings.
[0004] In existing technologies, piston ring unloading often employs an inclined track structure, relying on gravity for sliding. However, such devices generally suffer from the following problems: when the piston ring notch misaligns with the track guide structure, jamming or stagnation can easily occur, leading to unloading interruptions; to ensure notch alignment, some devices attempt to use simple guide components for passive adjustment, but the adjustment effect is limited, and problems such as misalignment and disordered arrangement still exist. On the other hand, using an active method requires additional complex drive mechanisms, resulting in a bulky structure that affects the continuity of subsequent testing or assembly processes.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a matching feeding device for a piston ring detection apparatus. This compact and precisely adjustable matching feeding device solves the problem of piston ring jamming caused by inconsistent notch directions during the feeding process. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a matching feeding device for a piston ring detection device.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A piston ring detection device includes a feeding mechanism comprising an inclined frame, a guide cone rod, a clamping rod, and an adjustment mechanism. The guide cone rod is located at one end of the inclined frame, and the clamping rod is detachably located at the other end of the inclined frame. The inclined frame and the guide cone rod form a feeding track. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting part, a rotating rod, and a limiting plate. The mounting part is located on the inclined frame. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the guide cone rod, and the other end is connected to the mounting part. One side of the limiting plate is engaged with the inclined frame, and the other side is rotatably mounted on the mounting part. When the piston ring notch aligns with the rotating rod, the piston ring is guided along the guide cone rod to the rotating rod, slides down the inclined frame, and is limited by the clamping rod. When the piston ring notch is misaligned with the rotating rod, the adjustment mechanism receives and guides the piston ring notch to align with the rotating rod.
[0008] Preferably, the tilting frame is divided into upper and lower sections, the lower section of the tilting frame is tilted, and the upper section is tilted relative to the lower section with a greater tilt angle than the lower section.
[0009] Preferably, the lower two sides of the tilting frame have opposite protrusions to form a slide rail, the thickness of the tilting frame corresponds to the piston ring notch, and the protrusions are used to support the piston ring.
[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the guide cone rod is an annular cone structure, and the lower part is an inclined rod that is tilted, with the tilt angle of the inclined rod being parallel to the lower part of the tilting frame.
[0011] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the protrusions on both sides of the lower end of the tilting frame are provided with slots, and the locking rod can be detachably locked between the two slots.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting part includes a drive motor and a mounting plate. The drive motor is mounted on the upper surface of the lower section of the tilting frame, the other end of the rotating rod is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the side of the drive motor.
[0013] Preferably, the limiting plate has a movable rod on the side near the drive motor, the movable rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and the lower part of the limiting plate is slidably connected to the tilting frame.
[0014] Preferably, the shaft of the rotating rod has a frosted surface.
[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the tilting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide cone rod, so that the unloading track formed by the tilting frame and the guide cone rod is tilted as a whole.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The rotating rod is driven by a drive motor, and the friction is increased by the frosted surface, so that the piston rings are stably conveyed on the inclined frame. The guide cone rod guides the notch orientation to achieve automatic alignment. The rotational connection between the limit plate and the movable rod ensures that the piston rings pass through one by one and avoid overlapping and sliding. This effectively improves the material feeding efficiency and the smoothness of the connection with subsequent processes.
[0017] 2. Through the coordinated action of the tilting frame and the guide cone, the piston ring slides stably along the track under the balance of gravity and friction. Its circumferential notch is automatically aligned under the guidance of the cone, achieving precise orientation and arrangement. The entire feeding process does not require manual intervention.

[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a piston ring 6 detection device includes a feeding device comprising an inclined frame 1, a guide cone rod 2, a locking rod 5, and an adjustment mechanism. The guide cone rod 2 is located at one end of the inclined frame 1, and the locking rod 5 is detachably located at the other end of the inclined frame 1. The inclined frame 1 and the guide cone rod 2 form a feeding track. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting part, a rotating rod 32, and a limiting plate 42. The mounting part is located on the inclined frame 1. One end of the rotating rod 32 is rotatably located on the guide cone rod 2, and the other end is connected to the mounting part. One side of the limiting plate 42 is inserted into the inclined frame 1, and the other side is rotatably located on the mounting part. When the notch of the piston ring 6 corresponds to the rotating rod 32, the piston ring 6 is guided along the guide cone rod 2 to the rotating rod 32, slides down through the inclined frame 1, and is limited by the locking rod 5. When the notch of the piston ring 6 is misaligned with the rotating rod 32, the adjustment mechanism receives and guides the notch of the piston ring 6 to correspond with the rotating rod 32. The adjustment mechanism ensures that the piston ring 6 can slide down to the locking rod 5, eliminating the problem of misalignment and retention of the piston ring 6 and the rotating rod 32.
[0022] Currently, all existing piston rings require quality inspection after production. To ensure continuous inspection, they are typically inserted from one end and discharged from the other to reduce accumulation and facilitate continuous inspection. Therefore, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the tilting frame 1 is divided into upper and lower sections. The lower section is tilted, and the upper section is raised relative to the lower section. Its tilt angle is large, which has an accelerating sliding effect. Since there is usually a notch on the piston ring 6, the lower two sides of the tilting frame 1 also protrude to form a slide rail, so that the thickness of the tilting frame 1 itself corresponds to the notch and is located within the notch of the piston ring 6. The protrusions on both sides support the piston ring 6. The upper part of the guide cone rod 2 is an annular cone structure, which makes it easier for the piston ring 6 to fall in. The lower part of the guide cone rod 2 is a slanted rod that is tilted and the tilt angle is parallel to the lower part of the tilting frame 1. The upper end of the tilting frame 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide cone rod 2, so that the tilting frame 1... The guide cone rod 2 forms a feeding track, which is inclined as a whole. Additionally, the upper surfaces of the two protruding parts at the lower end of the inclined frame 1 are each provided with a slot, and a locking rod 5 is detachably engaged between the two slots. This locking rod is used to limit the sliding position of the piston ring 6, allowing the piston ring 6 to slide down the inclined frame 1 along the guide cone rod 2 and be stopped by the locking rod 5. More specifically, the piston ring 6 is thrown into the upper annular cone opening of the guide cone rod 2 by the detection device. The piston ring 6 slides down vertically along the annular cone opening. When the inner side of the piston ring 6 contacts the lower inclined rod of the guide cone rod 2, the force at the contact point between the inner side of the piston ring 6 and the lower inclined rod of the guide cone rod 2 becomes uneven. The supporting force of the inclined rod on the piston ring 6 is decomposed into two components: "along the axis of the rod" and "tangentially perpendicular to the axis". The tangential component breaks the circumferential force balance of the ring, eventually causing the piston ring 6 to rotate. This causes the notch of the piston ring 6 to gradually align with the rotating rod 32, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically correcting the notch direction. Finally, the notch end of the piston ring 6 gradually slides down the slide rail of the inclined frame 1 to the locking rod 5 at the lower section of the inclined frame 1. When enough piston rings 6 have accumulated at the lower part of the inclined frame 1, the operator can remove the locking rod 5 at once, and all the accumulated piston rings 6 will slide off the slide rail.
[0023] To ensure that the piston ring 6 notch accurately falls into the slide rail of the tilting frame 1 during the sliding process, and to avoid the piston ring 6 getting stuck, an adjustment mechanism is also provided on the tilting frame 1. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting part, a rotating rod 32, and a limiting plate 42. The mounting part is horizontally located on the upper part of the tilting frame 1. The mounting part includes a drive motor 31 and a mounting plate 41. The drive motor 31 is mounted on the upper surface of the lower section of the tilting frame 1. One end of the rotating rod 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the guide cone rod 2, and the other end is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 31. The rotating shaft is driven by the drive motor 31 to maintain rotation. The rotating rod 32 is located above the tilting frame 1. The mounting plate 41 is fixedly mounted on the side of the servo motor. The lower part of the limiting plate 42 is inserted into the tilting frame 1 and is slidably connected. In addition, a movable rod is provided on the side of the limiting plate 42 near the drive motor 31. The movable rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 41. When the notch of piston ring 6 is misaligned with the rotating rod 32, piston ring 6 will contact the limiting plate 42 under the action of gravity. The limiting plate 42 is initially in a vertical state, but under the push of piston ring 6, it rotates slightly along the movable rod to provide some cushioning and reduce impact noise and damage. At this time, the rotating rod 32 continues to rotate under the drive of the drive motor 31. In addition, the rod body of the rotating rod 32 is also provided with a frosted surface to increase the friction with the inner side of piston ring 6. The rotating rod 32 drives piston ring 6 to rotate through friction, so that the notch of piston ring 6 gradually aligns with the rotating rod 32. When the notch of piston ring 6 is aligned with the rotating rod 32, piston ring 6 falls into the slide rail and contacts the locking rod 5 for limitation. The limiting plate 42 will return to the initial vertical state under the action of gravity. This cycle repeats to achieve automatic alignment and orderly arrangement of the notch of piston ring 6. The whole process is efficient and stable, effectively improving the automation level of piston ring 6 assembly. The frosted surface design not only enhances the friction between the rotating rod 32 and piston ring 6, but also avoids alignment failure caused by slippage. When multiple piston rings 6 have completed notch correction and stacked to the position of the locking lever 5 in sequence, the operator can remove the locking lever 5 at regular intervals, allowing the accumulated piston rings 6 to slide down to the collection device below. The adjustment mechanism, in conjunction with the structural layout of the guide cone rod 2 and the tilting frame 1, ensures that each ring can accurately fall into the slide rail, eliminating jamming, significantly reducing the frequency of manual intervention, and improving production continuity and operational safety.
[0024] This structure enables continuous feeding and precise alignment, improving material feeding efficiency and inspection reliability. Furthermore, the conical front end of the guide cone 2 guides the piston ring 6's inner hole to automatically align, reducing positioning deviations. The entire feeding process requires no manual intervention, achieving fully automated continuous operation and significantly improving inspection efficiency and accuracy.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
