Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire product processing, and in particular to a device for moving a steel ring to a work station. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the inter-station transfer of circular wire rings in steel wire product processing needs to balance stability in handling and precision in positioning. Traditional transfer devices have significant limitations: the handling mechanism is unstable in clamping the wire ring, making it prone to slippage or deformation; the position of the wire ring is easily offset during transfer, making it difficult to accurately connect to the next process; the handling and release actions are not smoothly coordinated, often requiring manual correction, resulting in low efficiency.

[0003] While some devices can complete the transfer, they lack targeted limiting structures, resulting in significant positional deviations of the steel ring after it is placed at the workstation, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing. Furthermore, the unreasonable method of detaching the picking component from the steel ring easily causes the steel ring to bounce or collide, increasing potential quality risks. Therefore, developing a steel ring transfer device that can stably pick up, precisely limit, and smoothly release the steel ring has become a key requirement for improving process connection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a device for moving steel rings to a workstation, which solves the problems of instability and poor positioning of traditional steel ring transfer devices in the prior art, and requires a new device that can stably pick up and accurately limit the position.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.

[0006] A device for moving a steel ring to a workstation includes a bracket, a support plate, and a picking device; the support plate is disposed on the bracket; the picking device is disposed on the support plate and has a travel distance on the support plate; it also includes a moving device; the moving device includes a first clamping member, a sliding member, and a linear slide rail; two sets of support plates are disposed opposite each other; the linear slide rail is disposed between the two sets of support plates; the first clamping member is located on the sliding member; the linear slide rail drives the first clamping member to slide along the sliding member; the first clamping member drives the picking device to pick up the steel ring onto the support plate.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: The grasping device is provided with a second clamping member at its working end; one end of the second clamping member is provided with a claw; a baffle is provided on the bracket; the baffle is inclined at an angle; the first clamping member clamps the steel ring and drives the steel ring to rotate along the claw; when the steel ring abuts against the baffle, the steel ring gradually disengages from the claw.

[0008] The support plate is provided with a pusher; the actuating end of the pusher is provided with a limit post; when the limit post is retracted, the top surface of the limit post is flush with the top surface of the support plate.

[0009] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: 1. By employing a dual-fixing structure of "picking device + moving device," the problem of unstable picking using traditional devices is completely solved. The second clamping component of the picking device directly engages the steel ring with claws, forming an initial fixation through the contact between the claws and the steel ring. Simultaneously, the first clamping component of the moving device provides auxiliary clamping for the steel ring, working in conjunction with a linear slide rail to smoothly slide the steel ring along the sliding component, preventing the steel ring from shifting or slipping due to uneven force on one side during transfer. Compared to the traditional single clamping structure, this dual-clamping design can distribute the force on the steel ring, especially considering the thin texture of the round, wire-shaped steel ring. Multi-point contact reduces localized compression, preventing deformation and wire bending caused by concentrated clamping force, ensuring the integrity of the steel ring after transfer, and reducing potential product quality issues. At the same time, the guiding effect of the linear slide rail makes the steel ring transfer path precise and controllable, avoiding collisions caused by trajectory deviations, further improving picking stability.

[0010] 2. The device solves the problems of steel ring bouncing and positioning deviation during release caused by traditional devices through a combination of "inclined baffle-guided release + precise limiting post." When the first clamping component rotates the steel ring along the jaws, the ring gradually contacts the inclined baffle. The baffle's inclination angle creates a "slow-release guide"—the steel ring slowly disengages from the jaws under the baffle's support, avoiding the free-fall bouncing caused by traditional direct release methods and reducing impact collisions between the steel ring and the worktable. Simultaneously, the pusher on the support plate controls the extension and retraction of the limiting post: before the steel ring is released to the support plate, the limiting post retracts, not affecting the ring's descent; after the ring lands on the support plate, the pusher extends the limiting post, limiting its position from both sides or the bottom, ensuring the steel ring accurately stops at the preset position and avoiding positioning deviations caused by the ring sliding after release. This "guided release followed by precise limiting" process significantly improves the steel ring's positioning accuracy, eliminating the need for subsequent manual correction and meeting the stringent requirements for steel ring position in subsequent assembly or deep processing.

[0011] 3. The device achieves full automation of the "pick-up-transfer-release-positioning" process through modular design, significantly shortening the process connection time. The linear guide rail of the moving device can drive the steel ring to move quickly along the preset path without manual pushing or auxiliary adjustment; the pick-up device and the moving device have strong coordination, and the clamping and releasing actions of the first clamping component and the second clamping component are synchronized, avoiding process jams caused by asynchronous actions. In addition, the telescopic design of the limiting column can form a seamless connection with subsequent processes—after the steel ring is positioned by the limiting column, the limiting column can flexibly retract according to the needs of the next process, without hindering the steel ring from entering the subsequent processing stage, eliminating the need for manual handling and adjustment of the steel ring's position, and reducing waiting time between processes. At the same time, the device does not require frequent shutdowns for maintenance, the structure of each component is stable, it can adapt to continuous production rhythms, effectively improve the turnover efficiency of the entire production line, and reduce labor costs and the risk of production interruption.

[0018] This application provides a device for moving steel rings to a workstation, which solves the problems of instability and poor positioning of traditional steel ring transfer devices in the prior art, and requires a new device that can stably pick up and accurately limit the position.

[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 and moving system: The support 1 is a metal frame structure, and two sets of support plates 2 are fixed to the support 1. A linear slide rail 43 is installed between the two sets of support plates 2. The sliding member 42 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail 43. The first clamping member 41 is fixed on the sliding member 42 and can move along the linear slide rail 43 with the sliding member 42 to realize the translation of the steel ring between different work positions.

[0021] Picking and releasing structure: The picking device 3 is installed on the support plate 2, and a second clamping member 31 is provided at its working end. A claw 311 is installed at one end of the second clamping member 31. A baffle 11 is fixed on the bracket 1, and the baffle 11 is inclined at an angle. The first clamping member 41 can clamp the steel ring and drive the steel ring to rotate along the claw 311. The steel ring is released from the claw 311 through contact with the baffle 11.

[0022] Positioning and limiting component: A pusher 21 is installed on the support plate 2, and the working end of the pusher 21 is connected to the limiting post 211; the limiting post 211 can extend and retract under the drive of the pusher 21. When it retracts, its top surface is flush with the top surface of the support plate 2, and when it extends, it can limit the position of the steel ring.

[0023] Initially, the sliding member 42 drives the first clamping member 41 to be located on the side close to the raw material stacking station, and the claws 311 of the second clamping member 31 are in the open state; the pushing member 21 drives the limiting post 211 to retract, the top surface of the support plate 2 remains flat, and does not affect the movement of the steel ring; the baffle 11 maintains the tilt angle, waiting to contact the steel ring and cooperate with the release action.

[0024] The steel ring at the raw material stacking station is conveyed to the bottom of the picking device 3. The second clamping member 31 is activated, and the claw 311 closes, firmly clamping the steel ring from the outside or inside to ensure that the steel ring does not shake or slip during the picking process. At the same time, the first clamping member 41 is activated simultaneously to assist in clamping the steel ring from the other side, forming a double fixation to avoid the problem of unstable clamping caused by the steel ring's own toughness or smooth surface.

[0025] After confirming that the steel ring is securely clamped, the sliding member 42 is activated by the linear slide rail 43, which moves the first clamping member 41 and the picking device 3 together toward the processing station. During the transfer, the linear slide rail 43 ensures that the movement path is smooth and avoids the steel ring from shifting position.

[0026] When the sliding member 42 moves the steel ring to the support plate 2 above the corresponding processing station, the linear slide rail 43 stops moving and the sliding member 42 remains in a stable position; at this time, the pushing member 21 starts, driving the limiting post 211 to extend upward. The limiting post 211 protrudes from the top surface of the support plate 2 to form a positioning reference.

[0027] The first clamping member 41 slightly adjusts the position of the steel ring so that the edge of the steel ring fits against the limiting post 211. The limiting post 211 accurately positions the steel ring, ensuring that the position of the steel ring on the processing station meets the requirements of subsequent processing, thus avoiding processing errors caused by position deviations in traditional transfer.

[0028] After positioning, the first clamping member 41 drives the steel ring to rotate slowly along the claw 311; as it rotates, the steel ring gradually approaches the inclined baffle 11 and eventually abuts against the baffle 11; under the blocking action of the baffle 11, as the steel ring continues to rotate with the first clamping member 41, it gradually disengages from the claw 311 of the second clamping member 31 - the claw 311 no longer constrains the steel ring, and the steel ring falls smoothly onto the support plate 2, and its position is fixed by the limiting post 211.

[0029] After the steel ring is completely disengaged from the jaw 311, the jaw 311 of the second clamping member 31 opens, and the pushing member 21 drives the limiting post 211 to retract, with its top surface flush with the top surface of the support plate 2; the sliding member 42 drives the first clamping member 41 and the picking device 3 to reset to the side of the raw material stacking station, ready for the next transfer operation, completing a single steel ring transfer cycle.
