Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire assembly technology, specifically to a tire bolt assembly error-proof feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Tire bolt assembly is a crucial assembly process in the wheel hub unit production line. Due to differences in vehicle structure and operating conditions, tire bolt lengths, thread specifications, and surface treatments vary, resulting in a wide variety of tire bolt types. Factories typically use vibratory feeders to arrange and feed the bolts in a disorderly manner.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220722464U discloses a bolt vibration feeding device. It utilizes the cooperation of guide plates, adjusting screws and guide rods. The bolt is located between two guide plates. The adjusting screw pushes the guide plates to move, the guide rod guides the movement of the guide plates, and the adjusting screw adjusts the distance between the two guide plates, which is beneficial for feeding bolts of different sizes.

[0004] Although the above solution uses a limiting structure on the guide plate to feed bolts of different sizes, there are slight differences between bolts of different lengths. After being transported to the picking position by the feeding equipment, the bolts are difficult for workers to identify when installing the wheel hub bolts, resulting in bolt installation errors and affecting the quality of the wheel hub unit.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a tire bolt assembly error-proof feeding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a tire bolt assembly error-proof feeding device to solve the problem that bolts of different lengths have slight differences. After being transported to the picking position by the feeding equipment, they are difficult for workers to screen out when installing wheel hub bolts, resulting in bolt installation errors and affecting the quality of the wheel hub unit.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A tire bolt assembly error-proof feeding device includes a base, a vibrating sorter, and a discharge channel. A rotating tube is rotatably connected to the base, and a conveying ring is fixedly connected to the rotating tube. The conveying ring has placement slots arranged in a circular array. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the discharge channel. The fixing ring and the placement slots form a storage space for placing bolts. A rotating component for rotating the rotating tube is provided on the base, and a lifting component for lifting the bolts in the storage space is also provided on the base.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a motor mounted on a base, a first pulley fixedly connected to the motor, and a second pulley fixedly connected to the rotating tube, wherein the second pulley is drivingly connected to the first pulley.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder mounted on a base, a lifting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, an abutment plate is provided above the lifting plate, and a support member for supporting the abutment plate is provided on the lifting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the abutment plate has a guide groove that matches the rotating tube, and the guide groove is located below the fixing ring.

[0012] Preferably, the support includes a screw rotatably connected to the lifting plate, one end of the abutment plate is threaded to the screw, a guide rod is slidably connected to the abutment plate, and the bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the base.

[0013] Preferably, a limit block is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By setting up a conveyor ring with a placement groove and an adjustable height abutment plate, bolts of different lengths can be automatically sorted and height-separated. When the bolt is lifted, its exposed height changes with the length difference, allowing workers to visually identify and remove the appropriate bolts. This effectively avoids the problem of incorrect installation caused by similar bolt models and significantly improves the assembly quality of the wheel hub unit.

[0016] 2. By utilizing the combination of rotating tube and conveying ring, continuous multi-station feeding is achieved. At the same time, the height of the abutment plate can be adjusted by screw to quickly adapt to the testing requirements of bolts of different lengths. The storage space formed by the fixed ring and the placement groove ensures stable bolt conveying. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following will refer to the attached reference. Figures 1 to 4 The various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] A tire bolt assembly error-proof feeding device includes a base 1, a vibrating sorter 2 and a discharge channel 3. A rotating tube 5 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and a conveying ring 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating tube 5. The conveying ring 6 has placement grooves 7 arranged in a circular array.

[0024] The conveying ring 6 is located at the top of the rotating tube 5, and the rotating tube 5 is located at the discharge position of the discharge channel 3. The cross-section of the placement groove 7 is a straight groove, which can output the bolts through the discharge channel 3 into the placement groove 7.

[0025] The discharge channel 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 4, and the fixing ring 4 and the placement groove 7 form a storage space for placing bolts. The fixing ring 4 is ring-shaped and has an opening. The connection between the fixing ring 4 and the discharge channel 3 is located at the opening, so that the bolts arranged in the discharge channel 3 can be transported to the placement groove 7 and placed in the storage space. The nut of the bolt abuts against the upper surface of the conveying ring 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, a rotating assembly for rotating the rotating tube 5 is provided on the base 1. The rotating assembly includes a motor 8 mounted on the base 1, a first pulley 9 fixedly connected to the motor 8, and a second pulley 10 fixedly connected to the rotating tube 5, and the second pulley 10 is connected to the first pulley 9 in a driving connection.

[0027] After the bolts are conveyed to a placement slot 7 in the discharge channel 3, the output shaft of the motor 8 can drive the first pulley 9 to rotate, and the transmission between the first pulley 9 and the second pulley 10 can drive the rotating tube 5 to rotate, thereby rotating the other placement slot 7 to the opening position of the fixing ring 4 and collecting the bolts in the placement slot 7.

[0028] In this embodiment, the base 1 is also provided with a lifting assembly for lifting the bolts in the storage space. The lifting assembly includes a cylinder 11 installed on the base 1. The telescopic end of the cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 12. An abutment plate 14 is provided above the lifting plate 12.

[0030] The abutment plate 14 has a guide groove 15 that matches the rotating tube 5, and the guide groove 15 is located below the fixing ring 4. The abutment plate 14 is located outside the rotating tube 5 through the guide groove 15. The abutment plate 14 moves upward to lift the bolts in the placement groove 7, so that bolts of different lengths are at different heights after the abutment plate 14 is raised and fixed. The bolts of different lengths can be screened by the lifting height of the bolts to avoid workers picking up the wrong bolts.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support includes a screw 13 rotatably connected to the lifting plate 12, one end of the abutment plate 14 being threadedly connected to the screw 13, a guide rod 16 being slidably connected to the abutment plate 14, and the bottom end of the guide rod 16 being fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the abutment plate 14 after it has been raised according to the bolt length, the abutment plate 14 can be raised and lowered under the guidance of the guide rod 16 by rotating the screw 13, thereby completing the adjustment of the height of the abutment plate 14.

[0033] A limit block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 16, and the movement of the abutment plate 14 can be limited by the limit block 17.
