Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal shell processing technology, and in particular to a rotary conveying mechanism for metal shell hardware parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal shell hardware processing, the metal shell conveying process is a key step affecting production efficiency and processing accuracy. Currently, the industry mostly uses traditional conveying methods, such as belt conveyors or manual handling, to achieve the flow of metal shells between workstations. When using belt conveyors, the metal shells are prone to positional shifts due to belt vibration or friction, making it difficult to accurately align with subsequent processing workstations. This requires frequent manual adjustments, which not only increases operating costs but also reduces processing efficiency. Manual handling, on the other hand, suffers from high labor intensity and slow conveying speed. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to errors that can cause metal shells to be bumped and damaged, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a metal shell hardware rotary conveying mechanism.

[0004] This utility model proposes a metal shell hardware rotary conveying mechanism, including an indexing plate. Several clamping modules are evenly installed around the top of the indexing plate, each clamping module clamping and fixing a metal shell inside. On the side of the indexing plate, corresponding to the clamping modules at the loading and unloading stations, a release clamping module is provided. Each clamping module includes a support block, with a shaft fixedly connected inside the support block. Movable clamping plates are movably arranged outside the shaft, corresponding to both sides of the support block. Linkage plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the shaft. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the shaft, with both ends of the spring abutting against the movable clamping plate and the linkage plate, respectively. An external release hole is formed between the support block and the movable clamping plate. The release clamping module includes a lifting cylinder, with a gripper cylinder installed at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder. An external release plate is installed at the gripping end of the gripper cylinder. When releasing the clamp, the external release plate inserts into the external release hole.

[0005] Furthermore, the clamping module also includes a bearing housing mounted on the top of the indexing plate, with a main shaft rotatably connected inside the bearing housing, and the end of the main shaft connected to a support block.

[0006] Furthermore, several slide cylinders are installed at the top of the indexing plate, and a rotary cylinder is installed at the drive end of each slide cylinder. The slide cylinder and the rotary cylinder correspond to any clamping module.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive end of the rotary cylinder faces the clamping module and is connected to a locking protrusion. A slot is opened at the end of the main shaft facing the rotary cylinder. After the slide cylinder drives the rotary cylinder to move forward, the locking protrusion engages inside the slot and is compatible.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking protrusions and slots are both designed in a cross shape to drive the spindle to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the metal shell is located above the support block and between the moving clamps.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The indexing plate drives the clamping modules evenly distributed around its circumference to achieve orderly rotation and conveying. The clamping modules, with the help of shafts, moving clamps, and springs, can stably clamp the metal shell, avoiding positional displacement due to vibration or friction during the conveying process. This eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments to ensure accurate docking at subsequent processing stations. It also replaces manual assistance in handling, significantly reducing labor intensity and increasing conveying speed. Furthermore, it effectively reduces the problem of metal shell damage caused by human error. While reducing operating costs, it significantly improves the efficiency and processing quality of metal shell conveying, meeting the demand for efficient, accurate, and stable conveying in the metal shell hardware processing field.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model proposes a rotating conveying mechanism for metal shell hardware, including an indexing plate 1 (the indexing plate 1 is driven to rotate by a cam divider, a reducer, and a servo motor at the bottom, and can be driven intermittently, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). At the top of the indexing plate 1, several clamping modules 2 are evenly installed along its circumference. Each clamping module 2 serves as a bearing and fixing unit for the metal shell 3, which can stably clamp the metal shell 3 and ensure that the metal shell 3 will not shift or fall off during conveying and processing. The specific technical solution is as follows: The clamping module 2 is specifically composed of a bearing seat 21, a main shaft 22, a support block 23, a shaft 24, a movable clamping plate 25, a linkage plate 26, a spring 27, and an external push hole 28. The bearing seat 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the indexing plate 1, and the main shaft 22 is rotatably connected inside it. The end of the main shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the support block 23. The support block 23 serves as the bottom support structure of the metal shell 3, providing a stable bearing platform for the metal shell 3. The shaft 24 is fixedly connected inside the support block 23. The movable clamping plate 25 is movably arranged outside the shaft 24 and corresponding to both sides of the support block 23. The metal shell 3 is located on top of the support block 23 and is positioned at the top of the support block 23. Between the two movable clamping plates 25, the metal shell 3 is fixed by the relative clamping action of the two movable clamping plates 25. Both ends of the shaft 24 are fixedly connected to the linkage plate 26. The spring 27 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft 24. The two ends of the spring 27 abut against the movable clamping plate 25 and the linkage plate 26 respectively. The spring 27 is always in a compressed state, providing a continuous clamping force to the movable clamping plate 25, ensuring that the movable clamping plate 25 can stably clamp the metal shell 3. At the same time, the support block 23 and the movable clamping plate 25 are provided with an external release hole 28. The external release hole 28 serves as the working interface of the release module 4, providing a structural basis for subsequent release operations. To enable the loading and unloading of the metal shell 3 at specific workstations, a clamping release module 4 is installed beside the indexing plate 1 at the clamping module 2 corresponding to the loading and unloading workstations. The clamping release module 4 consists of a lifting cylinder 41, a gripper cylinder 42, and an outer deflector plate 43. The gripper cylinder 42 is installed at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 41, enabling it to open. The gripping end of the gripper cylinder 42 is equipped with an outer deflector plate 43, the shape of which matches the outer deflector hole 28. When the clamping module 2 rotates to the loading or unloading workstation, the lifting cylinder 41 drives the gripper cylinder 42 and the outer deflector plate 43 to rise, causing the outer deflector plate 43 to insert into the outer deflector hole 28. Subsequently, the gripper... Cylinder 42 drives outer deflector plate 43 to open. Outer deflector plate 43 drives the moving clamping plates 25 on both sides to move outward along shaft 24 through outer deflector hole 28. At this time, spring 27 is further compressed, and the clamping state between moving clamping plate 25 and metal shell 3 is released. Workers or automated equipment can then perform loading or unloading operations on metal shell 3. After loading or unloading is completed, gripper cylinder 42 drives outer deflector plate 43 to reset, spring 27 restores its deformation, pushes moving clamping plate 25 inward, and re-clamps metal shell 3. Then, lifting cylinder 41 drives gripper cylinder 42 and outer deflector plate 43 to descend. Outer deflector plate 43 disengages from outer deflector hole 28, indexing plate 1 continues to rotate, and transports clamping module 2 to the next station. To meet the need for posture adjustment during the processing of the metal shell 3, several sliding cylinders 5 are installed at the top of the indexing plate 1. Each sliding cylinder 5 has a rotary cylinder 6 installed at its drive end. The sliding cylinders 5 and rotary cylinders 6 correspond to any clamping module 2, forming a set of posture adjustment units. The drive end of the rotary cylinder 6 faces the clamping module 2 and is connected to a locking protrusion 61. The end of the spindle 22 facing the rotary cylinder 6 has a slot 221. Both the locking protrusion 61 and the slot 221 are set in a "+" shape and are mutually compatible. When the clamping module 2 rotates to the processing position where the posture of the metal shell 3 needs to be adjusted, the sliding cylinder 5 drives the rotary cylinder 6 to rotate. Rotary cylinder 6 and locking protrusion 61 move forward toward spindle 22, so that locking protrusion 61 engages inside slot 221. At this time, rotary cylinder 6 starts, and through the transmission action of the "+" shaped locking protrusion 61 and slot 221, spindle 22 is driven to rotate around bearing seat 21. Spindle 22 then drives support block 23, moving clamping plate 25 and metal shell 3 to rotate together, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the processing posture of metal shell 3. After the posture adjustment is completed, slide cylinder 5 drives rotary cylinder 6 and locking protrusion 61 to move backward, locking protrusion 61 disengages from slot 221, spindle 22 returns to free state, and indexing plate 1 continues to drive clamping module 2 to rotate to the next process station.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
