Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, and in particular to a blank gate size-dividing conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of round workpieces such as automobile wheel hubs, the blank gate processing is a crucial step in ensuring workpiece accuracy and subsequent assembly compatibility. Currently, most mainstream blank gate processing conveyor systems in the industry adopt a "general station plus random allocation" operation mode. This means that all wheel hub blanks of different sizes and models are transported indiscriminately on the conveyor line and randomly enter any processing station for gate processing. This traditional device has significant technical defects and production limitations. Due to the lack of a size classification mechanism, the same processing station needs to frequently handle wheel hub blanks of different specifications. This necessitates repeated adjustments to the processing parameters of equipment such as the gate cutting machine and positioning fixtures at the station. This not only increases the labor intensity and operational complexity of operators and prolongs the preparation time for single workpiece processing, but also severely restricts the overall processing efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that the same processing station needs to frequently accept wheel hub blanks of different specifications, which leads to the need to repeatedly adjust the processing parameters of the gate cutting machine, positioning fixture and other equipment at the station. To this end, we propose a blank gate size-separated processing and conveying device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a blank gate sizing and conveying device, including a distribution conveyor line and an industrial camera body disposed at one end of the distribution conveyor line. Multiple sets of connecting discs are attached to one side of the distribution conveyor line. The multiple sets of connecting discs are evenly distributed on one side of the distribution conveyor line. The lower wall of the end of each set of connecting discs away from the distribution conveyor line is attached to the processing and conveying body. A pushing component is provided at the end of each set of connecting discs away from the processing and conveying body. An auxiliary frame is installed on the upper wall of the pushing component. The pushing component drives the auxiliary frame to move upward, and the blank slides down onto the processing and conveying body through the auxiliary frame and the connecting disc.
[0005] Furthermore, the connecting plate is inclined, and the lowest point of the inclined connecting plate rests on the processing and conveying body. The overlapping design of the lowest point of the inclined plate and the processing and conveying body forms a smooth transition surface, which eliminates the height difference in the blank conveying path, avoids surface damage caused by impact and collision when the blank slips, and ensures the continuity of the conveying trajectory to prevent jamming.
[0006] Furthermore, the auxiliary frame is inclined, and the lowest point of the auxiliary frame is close to the connecting plate. This arrangement of the lowest point being close to the connecting plate shortens the transfer distance of the blank from the auxiliary frame to the connecting plate, allowing the blank to fall accurately into the conveying trajectory of the connecting plate and avoiding deviation due to an excessively long transfer path.
[0007] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a mounting block fixedly installed on the bottom support of the distribution conveyor line. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting block. The output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary frame. The electric push rod achieves precise lifting and lowering of the auxiliary frame through telescopic movement. When the blank reaches the corresponding position, it is pushed in time. When not triggered, it remains in a retracted state to ensure that blanks of different sizes can be directionally pushed to the matching connecting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a first outer rod and a second outer rod are fixedly and through the upper wall of the mounting block, and a first inner rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first outer rod, and a second inner rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second outer rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the first outer rod and the second outer rod are symmetrically distributed about the center of the electric push rod to avoid the auxiliary frame from tilting due to excessive force on one side, thereby further improving the stability of the lifting and pushing process.
[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, the recognition function of the industrial camera body, the directional drive of the pusher assembly, the gravity conveying of the connecting plate, and the stable support of the sliding structure form a closed loop, realizing the size classification and precise conveying of wheel hub blanks. This significantly shortens the processing preparation time and effectively improves the overall efficiency of the production line. It solves the problem that due to the lack of a size classification mechanism, the same processing station needs to frequently handle wheel hub blanks of different specifications, which leads to repeated adjustments of processing parameters for equipment such as the gate cutting machine and positioning fixture at the station. This not only increases the labor intensity and operational complexity of the operators and prolongs the processing preparation time of a single workpiece, but also seriously restricts the overall processing efficiency of the production line.

[0013] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0014] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, to address the problem that the lack of a size classification mechanism leads to the frequent handling of wheel hub blanks of different specifications at the same processing station, resulting in repeated adjustments to processing parameters for equipment such as gate cutting machines and positioning fixtures, which not only increases the labor intensity and operational complexity of operators and prolongs the preparation time for single workpiece processing, but also severely restricts the overall processing efficiency of the production line, the following preferred technical solution is provided: A blank gate sizing and conveying device includes a distribution conveyor line 1 and an industrial camera body 2 set at one end of the distribution conveyor line 1. The industrial camera body 2 captures the appearance features of the wheel hub blank through image recognition technology and quickly analyzes the size specifications. The distribution conveyor line 1 receives and transports the wheel hub blanks that have been sorted forward. Multiple sets of connecting discs 3 are attached to one side of the distribution conveyor line 1. The multiple sets of connecting discs 3 are evenly distributed and correspond to different size specifications of the processing flow. A processing conveyor body 4 is attached to the lower wall of the end of each connecting disc 3 away from the distribution conveyor line 1. The processing conveyor body 4 is responsible for transferring the sorted blanks to the appropriate processing station. A push component 5 is set at the end of each connecting disc 3 away from the processing conveyor body 4. An auxiliary frame 6 is installed on the upper wall of the push component 5. When the distribution conveyor line 1 transports the blank to the push component 5 corresponding to the sorting, the push component 5 drives the auxiliary frame 6 to move upward. The wheel hub blank is pushed along the auxiliary frame 6 to the connecting disc 3 and finally slides down onto the processing conveyor body 4 through the connecting disc 3.
[0015] The connecting plate 3 is inclined, and the lowest point of the inclined connecting plate 3 rests on the processing and conveying body 4. With the help of gravitational potential energy, the wheel hub blank can slide autonomously to a lower position on the inclined surface of the connecting plate 3 without the need for an additional conveying power device, thus reducing equipment energy consumption and maintenance costs. The overlapping design between the lowest point of the inclination and the processing and conveying body 4 forms a smooth transition surface, eliminating the height difference in the blank conveying path, avoiding surface damage caused by impact and collision when the blank slides down, and ensuring a continuous conveying trajectory to prevent jamming.
[0016] The auxiliary frame 6 is inclined, with its lowest point close to the connecting plate 3. Its inclination angle matches the inclination direction of the connecting plate 3. When the pushing assembly 5 drives the auxiliary frame 6 upward to push the blank, the blank, guided by the inclined surface, naturally slides towards the connecting plate 3, reducing frictional resistance between the blank and the auxiliary frame 6 and minimizing power loss during the pushing process. The arrangement of its lowest point close to the connecting plate 3 shortens the transfer distance of the blank from the auxiliary frame 6 to the connecting plate 3, ensuring the blank accurately falls onto the conveying trajectory of the connecting plate 3 and preventing deviation due to an excessively long transfer path. The inclined design matches the inclination direction of the connecting plate 3. When the pushing assembly 5 moves the auxiliary frame 6 upward, the wheel hub blank can naturally slide along the inclined surface of the auxiliary frame 6 towards the connecting plate 3, reducing frictional resistance between the blank and the auxiliary frame 6. The lowest point being close to the connecting plate 3 shortens the transfer distance of the blank, preventing deviation or jamming during transfer and ensuring the blank accurately enters the conveying trajectory of the connecting plate 3.
[0017] The pushing assembly 5 includes a mounting block 51 fixedly installed on the bottom support of the distribution conveyor line 1. An electric push rod 52 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting block 51, and the output end of the electric push rod 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary frame 6. The mounting block 51, through its rigid connection with the support of the distribution conveyor line 1, provides a stable force base for the electric push rod 52, counteracting the reaction force generated when the electric push rod 52 pushes, and preventing equipment shaking from affecting the pushing accuracy. The electric push rod 52 achieves precise lifting and lowering of the auxiliary frame 6 through its telescopic movement. When the blank reaches the corresponding position, it pushes in time, and when not triggered, it remains in a retracted state, ensuring that blanks of different sizes can be directionally pushed to the matching connecting plate 3.
[0018] A first outer rod 53 and a second outer rod 54 are fixedly and continuously installed on the upper wall of the mounting block 51. A first inner rod 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first outer rod 53, and a second inner rod 56 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second outer rod 54. The upper ends of the first inner rod 55 and the second inner rod 56 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary frame 6. The first outer rod 53 and the first inner rod 55, and the second outer rod 54 and the second inner rod 56 form two sets of parallel sliding pairs, which play a strict guiding and constraining role on the lifting trajectory of the auxiliary frame 6, restricting the auxiliary frame 6 to move only in the vertical direction, and avoiding tilting or deviation caused by the single-point drive of the electric push rod 52. At the same time, the double-rod support structure evenly distributes the weight of the auxiliary frame 6 and the blank, reducing the load pressure on the electric push rod 52 and reducing the risk of failure due to overload.
[0019] The first outer rod 53 and the second outer rod 54 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the electric push rod 52. The symmetrical layout ensures that the two sets of sliding support structures and the electric push rod 52 are subjected to uniform force, and the force at the bottom of the auxiliary frame 6 is evenly transferred to the mounting block 51, avoiding the auxiliary frame 6 from tilting due to excessive force on one side, and further improving the stability of the lifting and pushing process; this balanced layout also ensures that the blank is subjected to more uniform force during pushing, reducing the positional displacement of the blank caused by uneven force, and reducing the probability of conveying failure.
[0020] Specifically, the wheel hub blank to be processed is conveyed forward at a constant speed by the distribution conveyor line 1. The industrial camera body 2 starts the image recognition function to quickly capture the appearance features of the blank and analyze the size specifications. According to the size of the wheel hub blank, the staff stops conveying it when it is transported to the preset processing station and starts the push component 5 corresponding to that size.
[0021] In the jacking assembly 5, the mounting block 51 provides stable support for the electric push rod 52. After the electric push rod 52 is activated, it extends and retracts upward, causing the top auxiliary frame 6 to rise synchronously. At this time, the first outer rod 53 and the second outer rod 54 symmetrically distributed on the mounting block 51, together with the first inner rod 55 and the second inner rod 56 that are slidably connected internally, form a guiding constraint to ensure that the auxiliary frame 6 always rises in a horizontal state and avoids deviation. The rising auxiliary frame 6, with its own inclined structure, lifts the blank on the distribution conveyor line 1 and guides it to slide along the inclined surface. Because the lowest point of the auxiliary frame 6 is close to the connecting plate 3, the blank can fall accurately into the entrance of the corresponding connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3, relying on its own inclined design, guides the blank to slide to a lower position under the action of gravity. Its lowest inclined point smoothly overlaps with the processing conveyor body 4, ensuring that the blank slides onto the processing conveyor body 4 without collision or jamming. Finally, the processing conveyor body 4 directly transfers the sorted blanks to the appropriate processing station.
[0022] Throughout the process, the recognition function of the industrial camera body 2, the directional drive of the pusher assembly 5, the gravity conveying of the connecting plate 3, and the stable support of the sliding structure form a closed loop, realizing the size classification and precise conveying of the wheel hub blanks. This significantly shortens the processing preparation time and effectively improves the overall efficiency of the production line. It solves the problem that due to the lack of a size classification mechanism, the same processing station needs to frequently accept wheel hub blanks of different specifications, which leads to repeated adjustments of processing parameters for equipment such as the gate cutting machine and positioning fixture at the station. This not only increases the labor intensity and operational complexity of the operators and prolongs the processing preparation time of a single workpiece, but also seriously restricts the overall processing efficiency of the production line.
[0023] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
