Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of friction material manufacturing technology, specifically to a friction material manufacturing tooling feeder. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of power machinery, friction materials are core component materials for achieving braking and transmission functions. They mainly include brake pads (brake linings) for braking and clutch face plates (clutch discs) for transmission. In the production and processing of friction materials, raw materials need to be accurately transported to mixers or other subsequent processing equipment through filling equipment. As a key component of the filling equipment, the tooling unloader enables automated unloading of raw materials. A search revealed that patent CN221625169U discloses a tooling feeder for manufacturing friction materials. While this device, through its cleaning mechanism, can remove dust from the surface of the storage tank, preventing the accumulation of impurities, residues, and dust inside the feeder and reducing the adverse effects of impurities on raw materials and product quality, thus minimizing product quality issues caused by contamination, existing tooling feeders still have certain technical shortcomings in long-term use. To ensure the purity of raw materials for subsequent processing, residual friction material debris and dust inside the feeder must be cleaned after feeding. Currently, the most common cleaning method relies on brushing. However, during brushing, residual dust and impurities are easily dislodged from the inner wall of the feeder, creating dust. This dust not only spreads into the production environment, causing air pollution in the workshop and affecting the health of operators, but may also adhere to the raw materials for subsequent processing, leading to a decrease in the purity of the friction material product and affecting its braking or transmission performance. Furthermore, dust may enter the transmission or sealing components of the feeder, accelerating equipment wear and shortening the device's lifespan. Therefore, how to solve the dust problem in the cleaning process of the existing tooling unloading device has become a key direction for the optimization and improvement of current friction material filling equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tooling feeder for manufacturing friction materials, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The solution to the above-mentioned technical problems provided by this utility model is as follows: A tooling feeder for manufacturing friction materials includes a feeder body. The inner wall of the pourer body is connected to a mounting plate by bolts. The mounting plate is provided with a placement mechanism. The inner cavity of the placement mechanism is adapted to place friction material and works with the pourer body to realize the directional pouring operation of friction material. The storage mechanism integrates a blowing mechanism inside, and the blowing direction of the blowing mechanism is towards the inner wall of the storage mechanism, which is used to remove residual friction material debris and dust inside the storage mechanism through airflow blowing action. The pourer body is equipped with a dust collection mechanism. The dust collection port of the dust collection mechanism is connected to the airflow of the opening end of the placement mechanism, and is used to collect friction material residues and dust generated during the cleaning process of the blowing mechanism.

[0005] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0006] Furthermore, the placement mechanism includes a placement component for carrying friction material and a driving component for moving the placement component after the material is poured; the placement component includes a pouring plate on which a mold is fixedly mounted.

[0007] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The combination structure of the pouring plate and the mold enables precise positioning of friction materials, ensuring directional flow of materials during the pouring process.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a hydraulic rod, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate. A connecting block is installed at the output end of the hydraulic rod, and the connecting block is connected to the bottom surface of the pouring plate by bolts.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The movement of the unloading plate after unloading is achieved by using the extension and retraction drive of the hydraulic rod (such as resetting it to the cleaning station or unloading position).

[0010] Furthermore, the blowing mechanism includes a cleaning component for cleaning the inner wall of the storage mechanism, and a piston assembly for cooperating with the cleaning component to achieve the blowing action; the cleaning component includes a blowing pipe, on which an air outlet pipe and an air inlet pipe are respectively connected, the air outlet pipe is connected to the mold, and a filter screen is fixedly installed in the cavity of both the air outlet pipe and the air inlet pipe.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The airflow circulation design of the blow pipe, air outlet pipe, and air inlet pipe allows for direct airflow spraying onto the inner wall of the mold to specifically remove residual debris. The filter screen effectively prevents impurities from entering the pipes and causing blockages, while also preventing reverse airflow from bringing external impurities into the storage mechanism, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning process.

[0012] Furthermore, the piston assembly includes a piston that is slidably sleeved within the cavity of the blowpipe, and a connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the piston, with one end of the connecting rod facing away from the piston fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the feeder body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The system utilizes the sliding of a piston within the blowpipe to compress and spray airflow. It features a simple structure that requires no additional power source. The movement of the piston can be linked to the movement of the placement mechanism (discharging plate), enabling coordinated cleaning and discharging actions. The fixed installation of the connecting rod ensures stable piston movement, uniform blowing pressure, and improved cleaning performance.

[0014] Furthermore, the dust collection mechanism includes a collection component for collecting and filtering friction material residues and dust generated during cleaning, an air intake component for guiding airflow to extract impurities, and a vacuum extraction component for providing a negative pressure environment for the collection component; the collection component includes a dust collection box, and a filter bag is fixedly installed inside the dust collection box.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The filter bags inside the dust collection box can filter the dust-laden airflow, separating the dust from the air and facilitating the centralized treatment and recycling of the residue.

[0016] Furthermore, the air intake assembly includes a dust collection hood, which is connected to the inner cavity of the dust collection box via a connecting pipe; The vacuum extraction assembly includes an air pump, which is connected to an extraction pipe and an exhaust pipe, and the air pump is connected to the inner cavity of the dust collection box through the extraction pipe.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: The dust collection hood can form a targeted negative pressure area, accurately covering the opening end of the storage mechanism, ensuring that the dust generated by the jet is sucked in in time; the air pump establishes a stable negative pressure in the dust collection box through the extraction pipe, so that the dust-laden airflow passes through the dust collection hood and connecting pipe in sequence into the dust collection box for filtration, and the purified air is discharged through the exhaust pipe to avoid dust diffusion, which protects the workshop environment and avoids equipment wear.

[0018] This utility model provides a tooling feeder for manufacturing friction materials. It has the following beneficial effects: Through the coordinated design of the blowing mechanism and the dust collection mechanism, the blowing mechanism removes residual friction material debris and dust from the inner wall of the storage mechanism, while the dust collection mechanism, with the precise coverage of the dust collection hood and the negative pressure extraction of the air pump, collects the dust generated during the cleaning process in real time, preventing dust from spreading to the workshop environment or mixing into subsequent raw materials, thus protecting the health of the operators. When the hydraulic rod of the placement mechanism drives the material pouring plate to move, it can link the piston of the spraying mechanism to slide inside the spraying pipe, triggering the airflow spraying action without the need for an additional power source, so that the reset and cleaning operations after material pouring are carried out simultaneously. The air outlet and inlet pipes of the blowing mechanism have built-in filters to prevent impurities from clogging the pipes or bringing in pollutants in the opposite direction, thus extending the service life of the blowing components. The filter bags of the dust collection mechanism separate dust from air, which not only facilitates the centralized collection of residues, but also prevents dust from entering the transmission parts of the air pump or the feeder body, reducing equipment wear and extending the service life of the entire device.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows: Example 1: A tooling feeder for manufacturing friction materials, comprising a feeder body 1, The inner wall of the pourer body 1 is connected to the mounting plate 101 by bolts. The mounting plate 101 is provided with a placement mechanism 3. The inner cavity of the placement mechanism 3 is adapted to place friction material and cooperates with the pourer body 1 to realize the directional pouring operation of friction material. The storage mechanism 3 integrates a blowing mechanism 4. The blowing direction of the blowing mechanism 4 is towards the inner wall of the storage mechanism 3, and it is used to remove residual friction material debris and dust inside the storage mechanism 3 by blowing air. The body 1 of the feeder is equipped with a dust collection mechanism 2. The dust collection port of the dust collection mechanism 2 is connected to the airflow of the opening end of the placement mechanism 3, and is used to collect the friction material residue and dust generated during the cleaning process of the blowing mechanism 4. The placement mechanism 3 includes a placement component for carrying friction material and a drive component for moving the placement component after the material is poured. The placement component includes a pouring plate 301, on which a mold 302 is fixedly installed. Through the combination structure of the pouring plate 301 and the mold 302, the friction material can be accurately positioned and placed, ensuring the directional flow of the material during the pouring process. The drive assembly includes a hydraulic rod 303, which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 101. A connecting block 304 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic rod 303. The connecting block 304 is connected to the bottom surface of the pouring plate 301 by bolts. The movement of the pouring plate 301 after pouring is achieved by the extension and retraction drive of the hydraulic rod 303 (such as resetting to the cleaning station or pouring position). The blowing mechanism 4 includes a cleaning component for cleaning the inner wall of the storage mechanism 3, and a piston assembly for cooperating with the cleaning component to achieve the blowing action. The cleaning component includes a blowing pipe 401, which is connected to an air outlet pipe 402 and an air inlet pipe 403. The air outlet pipe 402 is connected to the mold 302, and filters are fixedly installed in the cavities of both the air outlet pipe 402 and the air inlet pipe 403. Through the airflow circulation design of the blowing pipe 401, the air outlet pipe 402 and the air inlet pipe 403, airflow can be directly sprayed onto the inner wall of the mold 302 to specifically remove residual debris. The filter can effectively prevent impurities from entering the pipe and causing blockage, while also preventing reverse airflow from bringing external impurities into the storage mechanism 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning process. The piston assembly includes a piston 404, which is slidably fitted inside the cavity of the blow pipe 401. A connecting rod 405 is fixedly installed on the piston 404, with one end of the connecting rod 405 away from the piston 404 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the unloader body 1. The sliding of the piston 404 within the blow pipe 401 achieves airflow compression and injection. The structure is simple and requires no additional power source. The movement of the piston 404 can be linked by the movement of the placement mechanism 3 (unloading plate 301) to achieve coordinated cleaning and unloading and subsequent displacement actions. The fixed installation of the connecting rod 405 ensures stable movement of the piston 404, guarantees uniform blowing pressure, and improves the cleaning effect.

[0024] Example 2: To prevent the accumulation of debris and dust during cleaning by suction, and to avoid dust generation during cleaning, for example, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model also includes: The dust collection mechanism 2 includes a collection component for collecting and filtering friction material residues and dust generated during cleaning, an air intake component for guiding airflow to extract impurities, and a vacuum extraction component for providing a negative pressure environment for the collection component. The collection component includes a dust collection box 201, in which a filter bag is fixedly installed. The filter bag inside the dust collection box 201 can filter the dust-laden airflow, thereby separating dust from air and facilitating the centralized treatment and recycling of residues. The air intake assembly includes a dust collection hood 202, which is connected to the inner cavity of the dust collection box 201 via a connecting pipe 203; The vacuum extraction assembly includes an air pump 205, which is connected to an extraction pipe 204 and an exhaust pipe 206. The air pump 205 is connected to the inner cavity of the dust collection box 201 through the extraction pipe 204. The dust collection hood 202 can form a targeted negative pressure area, accurately covering the opening end of the storage mechanism 3, ensuring that the dust generated by the blowing is sucked in in time. The air pump 205 establishes a stable negative pressure in the dust collection box 201 through the extraction pipe 204, so that the dust-laden airflow passes through the dust collection hood 202 and the connecting pipe 203 in sequence into the dust collection box 201 for filtration. The purified air is discharged through the exhaust pipe 206, avoiding dust diffusion, protecting the workshop environment and preventing equipment wear. Furthermore, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the provision of hydraulic rod 303 and air pump 205 is commonplace. Both hydraulic rod 303 and air pump 205 can be powered and controlled by external power supply and external control switch, which are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selection according to their needs or convenience.

[0025] Working principle: Initial preparation and material placement stage: The material pourer body 1 is in the initial working position, and the mounting plate 101 is fixed to the inner wall of the material pourer body 1 by bolts. The material pouring plate 301 of the placement mechanism 3 is kept horizontal under the support of the hydraulic rod 303. The operator places the friction material to be poured into the mold 302 on the pouring plate 301. The internal cavity structure of the mold 302 is adapted to the shape of the friction material to achieve precise material positioning. Oriented material unloading operation stage: Activate the material pouring mechanism inside the material pourer body 1 to extract the material into the mixer or other processing equipment and complete the directional material pouring operation (since other parts inside the material pourer body 1 have not been changed and the material pouring mechanism inside the material pourer body 1 is a conventional design, it is not fully shown in the schematic diagram, but it does not affect the understanding of the solution. It will be equipped accordingly in actual use). Post-discharge relocation and blow-drying cleaning stage: After the material is poured, the hydraulic rod 303 continues to drive the pouring plate 301 to move (reset to the cleaning station). Since the piston 404 of the blowing mechanism 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the pourer body 1 through the connecting rod 405, the movement of the pouring plate 301 will drive the blowing pipe 401 (connected to the mold 302) to slide relative to the piston 404. When the piston 404 slides inside the spray pipe 401, it compresses the air inside the spray pipe 401, causing the airflow to be sprayed through the air outlet pipe 402 (connected to the mold 302) onto the inner wall of the mold 302, specifically removing residual friction material debris and dust; at the same time, external air is supplemented into the spray pipe 401 through the air inlet pipe 403, forming an airflow circulation. During this stage, the filters in the air outlet pipe 402 and the air inlet pipe 403 work simultaneously to prevent impurities from entering the pipes and causing blockages, and to prevent external pollutants from entering the storage mechanism 3 in reverse. Dust collection and airflow purification stage: While the blowing mechanism 4 starts cleaning, the vacuum extraction component (air pump 205) of the dust collection mechanism 2 starts, and a negative pressure environment is established in the dust collection box 201 through the extraction pipe 204. The dust collection hood 202 (corresponding to the open end of the storage mechanism 3) forms an airflow adsorption zone under negative pressure, which sucks in all the dust and debris generated by the blowing. The dust-laden airflow enters the dust collection box 201 through the connecting pipe 203. The filter bag inside the dust collection box 201 filters the dust-laden airflow. Friction material residues and dust are trapped on the filter bag, and the purified air is discharged to the outside or the workshop return air system through the exhaust pipe 206 of the air pump 205. Reset and preparation phase for the next cycle: After the blowing cleaning and dust collection are completed, the air pump 205 stops working, the hydraulic rod 303 drives the material pouring plate 301 to reset to the initial horizontal state, the piston 404 resets with the blowing pipe 401, and the blowing mechanism 4 stops blowing. The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0026] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
