Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bearing feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the bearing production process, the assembly line operation directly transports the materials from the previous process to the next process for processing, which greatly improves production efficiency. However, since the processing time of materials in each process is different, especially in the downstream installation process, the processing time is long, which will lead to the accumulation of materials at the input end. Therefore, a temporary material storage mechanism is needed, or a separate process itself also needs a material storage mechanism.

[0003] In existing technologies, the feeding device mainly involves picking up and placing materials from the storage mechanism. This is typically done by allowing the material to fall freely and then removing it from the bottom. To accommodate various bearing models, the storage column is designed to be replaceable. However, this method is only suitable for bearing rings of different sizes. For bearings with different dropping requirements, such as flexible bearings, it is prone to deformation and cannot be used interchangeably. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides a multifunctional feeding device that can be applied to a variety of bearings.

The first storage column is mounted above the feeding track by a fixing frame, and the lower end of the first storage column is fitted with a height limiting block. The gap between the first storage column and the height limiting block is greater than the thickness of the material to allow the material to fall.

[0007] Preferably, a conveying mechanism is provided on one side of the second storage column. The conveying mechanism includes a lead screw arranged in the same direction as the second storage column. A lead screw motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lead screw.

[0008] Preferably, multiple second storage columns are provided and arranged in a ring on the storage rack, with the lower end of the storage rack connected to the storage motor.

[0009] Preferably, the bracket is forked into a U-shape on both sides. The tray includes a sleeve part fitted onto the storage rod and a ring part that is stepped to connect the sleeve part. The outer diameter of the sleeve part is larger than the inner diameter of the ring, and the inner diameter of the sleeve part is smaller than the outer diameter of the ring. The forks on both sides of the bracket avoid the second storage column and are located below the ring part.

[0010] Preferably, the lead screw is mounted on a lead screw frame, which is located on one side of the storage rack. The lead screw nut is connected to the bracket via a connecting rod.

Sensors are also provided at multiple locations on the lower side of the first storage rod, the upper side of the second storage rod, and the conveying track.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application is applicable to the feeding of different types of bearings.

[0017] The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a multi-bearing feeding device includes a conveying track connecting upstream and downstream devices. The conveying track includes a vertical first track 7, a horizontally arranged second track 8 connecting the first track, and a vertically arranged output track 9 connecting the second track. A pushing robot 10 is provided above the horizontal track to push the material from the first track into the second track. A pushing block is provided on one side of the horizontal track, facing the output track, to push the material from the second track to the output track. Sensors are provided on the first track, the second track, and the output track.

[0019] A first storage mechanism 1 and a second storage mechanism 11 are respectively provided on the sides of the conveying track. The first storage mechanism 1 is located on one side of the first track, and the second storage mechanism is located downstream of the first storage mechanism. The first storage mechanism includes a first storage column 2. A feed inlet is opened on one side of the conveying track. The lower end of the first storage column 2 is suspended outside the feed inlet. A pusher plate 5 is provided on the side of the feed inlet away from the conveying track. The pusher plate 5 is connected to a pusher motor to push the material into the conveying track. A feeding track 6 is provided outside the feed inlet. A height limiting block 3 is mounted on the feeding track. The distance between the height limiting block 3 and the feeding track 6 is the same as the material height. The first storage column 2 is mounted above the feeding track by a fixing frame 4, and the lower end of the first storage column 2 passes through the height limiting block. The annular gap between the first storage column and the height limiting block is greater than the material thickness to allow the material to fall. The lower end of the first storage column 2 passes through the height limiting block, but does not pass through its lower plane, ensuring that the distance between the height limiting block and the feeding track is the same as or slightly greater than the material height. The fixed frame 4 is equipped with an open hanging slot, in which the first storage column is hung. Material falls automatically due to gravity, passing through the annular gap between the height limiting block 3 and the first storage column 2 onto the feeding track 6. The outer pusher plate 5 then pushes the material onto the conveying track. During this process, material above is blocked by the pusher plate and cannot fall. Only when the pusher plate returns to its original position will the next material automatically fall, awaiting the next push. The material in the first storage mechanism falls from top to bottom, suitable for most bearings. Furthermore, the first storage mechanism is easy to manually load, making it suitable for manually adding material when it is insufficient. To add material, simply lift the first storage column a short distance and remove it from the open hanging slot; the operation is very convenient.

[0020] like Figure 3As shown, the second storage mechanism 11 includes a second storage column 16, with a clamping mechanism 12 positioned above it. The clamping mechanism 12 clamps materials to and from the conveying track. Sensors detect the material status at various key locations, and the system controls the process. When there is too much material on the conveying track, the clamping mechanism clamps some material and stores it on the second storage mechanism. When there is too little material on the conveying track, the clamping mechanism clamps some material onto the conveying track. Multiple second storage columns 16 are arranged in a ring on the storage rack 15. The lower end of the storage rack is connected to a storage motor 20, allowing the storage rack 15 to rotate, thus rotating the corresponding second storage column to its working position. A conveying mechanism is provided on one side of the storage rack. The conveying mechanism includes a lead screw 26 arranged in the same direction as the second storage column. A lead screw motor 28 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lead screw. A lead screw nut 22 is sleeved on the lead screw. A bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut. A tray 17 is sleeved on the second storage column. The material is sleeved on the second storage column 16 and located on the tray 17. The bracket 13 is placed below the tray, and the two sides of the bracket are forked into a U-shape. The tray includes a sleeve part 18 sleeved on the storage rod and a stepped ring part 19 connecting the sleeve part. The outer diameter of the sleeve part is larger than the inner diameter of the ring, and the inner diameter of the sleeve part is smaller than the outer diameter of the ring. The forks on both sides of the bracket 13 avoid the second storage column and are located below the ring 19. The lead screw 26 is mounted on the lead screw frame 21. The lead screw nut is connected to the bracket via a connecting rod 24. A slide rail 25 is provided on the side of the lead screw frame near the lead screw. A slider 23 is mounted on one end of the connecting rod and slides on the slide rail 25, while the other end is fixedly connected to the bracket 13. During the up-and-down sliding of the lead screw nut 22, the cooperation between the slider 23 and the slide rail 25 makes the sliding smoother. Sensor brackets 27 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the lead screw frame, respectively. A storage sensor is mounted on the sensor bracket, and the storage sensor corresponds to the second storage column of the next workstation. Sensors are also provided at the lower end of the first storage column, the upper end of the second storage column, and multiple locations on the conveying track.

[0021] The rotation of the lead screw 26 causes the lead screw nut 22 to move up and down. When storing materials, the clamping mechanism 12 clamps the materials to the second storage column 16. Each time a material is added, the lead screw nut lowers by one material height, keeping the highest point in the corresponding position for easy detection by the corresponding sensor. When the current second storage column is full, the storage rack rotates, and the next empty second storage column rotates to the working position. When discharging materials, the clamping mechanism 12 clamps the materials to the conveying track. Each time a material is removed, the lead screw nut drives the bracket to rise by one material height until the current second storage column is empty, at which point the storage rack rotates.

[0022] The storage sensors detect whether there is material on the storage column and whether the column is full. The upper storage sensor detects the presence of material, while the lower storage sensor detects whether the column is full. Each sensor detects the material status separately.

[0023] During normal operation, the flexible bearing is temporarily stored directly through the second storage mechanism 11. The bearing rings from the previous process move along the transport track. If the rings accumulate at the output track, the clamping mechanism 12 clamps some of the rings onto the second storage column. For each piece of material stored, the lead screw nut lowers the bracket by one material height. When there is insufficient material at the output track, the clamping mechanism clamps the rings from the second storage column onto the output track for the next process. This second storage mechanism is a temporary storage mechanism that automatically adjusts according to the amount of material. This storage and discharging method is very suitable for flexible bearings, preventing deformation and damage.

[0024] If it is a non-flexible bearing, the first and second storage mechanisms can be opened simultaneously. The first storage mechanism can also be used as a manual feeding mechanism. If there is too little material on the production line, it can be manually added.

[0025] This application is applicable to the feeding of different types of bearings. The first storage mechanism allows for downward feeding, while the second storage mechanism allows for direct feeding from above. It is suitable for feeding various bearings, and the first storage mechanism is also suitable for manual feeding. This utility model has a reasonable structure and is applicable to a variety of bearings.
