Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive duct processing equipment, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for an automotive duct punching machine. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive air ducts are an important component of automotive air conditioning systems. During their production, multiple ventilation holes are machined into the duct wall using a punching machine. After punching, the finished duct is transferred from the punching station to the collection station via a feeding mechanism. In actual use, existing punching devices are prone to displacement of the air duct due to its own weight and conveying inertia caused by the conveyor belt, resulting in inaccurate punching position and rendering the air duct unusable. Therefore, a feeding mechanism for an automotive air duct punching machine is provided. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for an automotive duct punching machine. It uses an infrared sensor to detect the position of the duct, and the controller synchronously starts and stops the conveyor belt. The clamping assembly drives the clamping plate to fix the duct through a third electric push rod. The pressure sensor monitors in real time and maintains a constant clamping force to prevent the duct from shifting due to gravity and conveying inertia. This solves the problem of duct scrapping caused by inaccurate punching position and overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A feeding mechanism for an automotive duct punching machine includes a base, a conveyor belt at the top of the base, a bracket fixed at the end of the conveyor belt, a U-shaped rod connected to the upper end of the bracket, a lifting assembly fixed to the lower end face of the middle section of the horizontal segment of the U-shaped rod, an opening assembly mounted on the lifting assembly, clamping assemblies mounted at the bottom of the vertical segments on both sides of the U-shaped rod, a rotating bracket mounted on the bracket, an L-shaped fixed baffle mounted on the bracket and located on one side of the rotating bracket, an infrared sensor fixed to the lower end face of the horizontal segment of the L-shaped fixed baffle, a controller fixed to the upper end face of the horizontal segment of the U-shaped rod, and a collecting tray mounted on the base and located below the rotating bracket.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bracket includes a U-shaped vertical plate fixed to the outer wall of the end of the conveyor belt, a U-shaped horizontal plate fixed to the top of the side wall of the U-shaped vertical plate, and an L-shaped fixing baffle fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped horizontal plate.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the rotating bracket includes a support plate that is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the U-shaped horizontal plate and close to the end of the conveyor belt via a rotating shaft, and a first electric push rod is rotatably connected between the lower end face of the support plate and the side wall of the U-shaped vertical plate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod fixed to the lower end face of the middle section of the horizontal section of the U-shaped rod. The lower end of the second electric push rod is connected to a lifting rod. Slide grooves are provided on opposite sides of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped rod. The two ends of the lifting rod are respectively slidably engaged with the two slide grooves.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the hole-opening assembly includes a servo motor fixed in the middle of the lower end face of the lifting rod, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a drill bit.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the clamping assembly includes two third electric push rods fixed to the bottom ends of opposite sides of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped rod. Each of the two third electric push rods has a clamping plate connected to its opposite end, and pressure sensors are installed at the connection points between the clamping plates and the two third electric push rods.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the pressure sensor, the first electric push rod, the second electric push rod, the two third electric push rods, the servo motor and the conveyor belt are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The position of the air duct is detected by an infrared sensor, and the controller starts and stops the conveyor belt synchronously. The clamping assembly drives the clamping plate to fix the air duct through the third electric push rod. The pressure sensor monitors in real time and maintains a constant clamping force to prevent the air duct from shifting due to gravity and conveying inertia, thus solving the problem of air duct scrapping caused by inaccurate punching position.
[0012] 2. After punching is completed, the controller can automatically control the reset of each component, and then drive the first electric push rod to tilt the tray, allowing the air duct to fall into the collection tray along the tray, reducing labor costs and improving the overall efficiency of automotive air duct processing.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] The support includes a U-shaped vertical plate 2 fixed to the outer wall of the end of the conveyor belt 3, a U-shaped horizontal plate 5 fixed to the top of the side wall of the U-shaped vertical plate 2, and an L-shaped fixing baffle 16 fixed to the upper end of the U-shaped horizontal plate 5.
[0022] The rotating bracket includes a support plate 10 that is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the U-shaped horizontal plate 5 and close to the end of the conveyor belt 3 via a rotating shaft. A first electric push rod 18 is rotatably connected between the lower end face of the support plate 10 and the side wall of the U-shaped vertical plate 2.
[0023] The lifting assembly includes a second electric push rod 13 fixed to the lower end of the middle section of the horizontal section of the U-shaped rod 8. The lower end of the second electric push rod 13 is connected to a lifting rod 7. Slide grooves 6 are provided on opposite sides of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped rod 8. The two ends of the lifting rod 7 are respectively slidably engaged with the two slide grooves 6.
[0024] The drilling assembly includes a servo motor 14 fixed to the middle of the lower end face of the lifting rod 7, and a drill bit 15 is connected to the output end of the servo motor 14.
[0025] The clamping assembly includes two third electric push rods 11 fixed to the bottom of opposite sides of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped rod 8. Each of the two third electric push rods 11 has a clamping plate 12 connected to its opposite end. Pressure sensors are installed at the connection points between the clamping plates 12 and the two third electric push rods 11.
[0026] The pressure sensor, the first electric push rod 18, the second electric push rod 13, the two third electric push rods 11, the servo motor 14, and the conveyor belt 3 are all electrically connected to the controller 9.
[0027] Working principle: The conveyor belt 3 transports the air duct to the pallet 10. The L-shaped fixed baffle 16 blocks the air duct, and the infrared sensor 17 detects the air duct and transmits the signal to the controller 9. The controller 9 controls the conveyor belt 3 to stop and simultaneously controls the two third electric push rods 11 to push the two clamping plates 12 closer to each other. The pressure sensor detects the pressure applied to the air duct by the clamping plates 12 and controls the extension and retraction of the two third electric push rods 11 according to the preset pressure value to maintain a constant clamping force on the air duct. Then, the controller 9 controls the servo motor 14 to drive the drill bit 15. Rotate, then control the second electric push rod 13 to push the lifting rod 7 down. The lifting rod 7 descends to its limit position, and the drill bit 15 completes the drilling of the top of the air duct. Then control the second electric push rod 13 to retract so that the lifting rod 7 returns to its original position, and control the two third electric push rods 11 to retract so that the clamping plate 12 returns to its original position. Finally, control the first electric push rod 18 to retract to its limit position and then return to its original position. During the retraction of the first electric push rod 18, the support plate 10 tilts and returns to its original position. During the tilting of the support plate 10, the air duct after punching falls along the support plate 10 into the collection tray 4, and then the drilling of the next air duct can be carried out.
