Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of material storage devices, specifically relating to a novel bearing ring buffer material storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Bearing races are a core component of bearings. As key parts in mechanical transmission systems, bearing races are widely used in automobiles, industrial machinery, aerospace, and home appliances, undertaking important functions such as transmitting power, supporting rotating parts, and reducing wear. Their manufacturing must meet strict requirements for dimensional accuracy, hardness, and wear resistance to adapt to the high-speed, heavy-load, or complex environmental operating needs under different working conditions.

[0003] CN212607960U discloses a first-in-first-out linear storage device for bearing rings with a receiving buffer. This device can store a large amount of material and avoid collision damage to the bearing rings. However, the device only adopts a single-station loading and unloading design, which cannot achieve synchronous loading and unloading. There is a waiting time in the production process, which limits the overall efficiency, especially in high-speed continuous production scenarios. In addition, although its receiving unit has a buffer function, it relies on the receiving plate to descend step by step. At high speed, it still cannot completely avoid slight collisions and friction between the rings, which poses a potential threat to the surface quality of high-precision rings. In addition, although the gap control between the pushing unit and the lower plate can prevent multiple rings from being pushed out at once, in actual operation, the rings are prone to tilting or jamming, which can lead to poor unloading and affect the continuity of production. Moreover, this patent lacks a multi-station collaborative mechanism, and the overall flexibility is poor, making it difficult to adapt to the requirements of modern intelligent production lines for high efficiency, low loss, and high compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel bearing ring buffer storage device to solve the problem of low material feeding efficiency in the processing of existing bearing rings, as mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel bearing ring buffer storage device, which includes a feeding section, a picking section, a lifting section, a pushing section, and a discharging section;

[0006] The feeding section and the unloading section respectively constitute the feeding and discharging sections of the storage device;

[0007] in:

[0008] The material handling part is located directly above the feeding part and the lifting part. The material handling part moves back and forth in the X-axis direction and clamps the bearing ring on the feeding part.

[0010] The pushing part is located below the lifting part. The pushing part reciprocates along the Y-axis. When the pushing part is extended, it is at the top of the lowered lifting part, thus pushing out the bearing ring on the lowered lifting part.

[0015] The base plate has a groove for the bent portion of the bearing plate to move downwards, and the groove on the base plate is connected to the round hole, and the width of the groove is smaller than the diameter of the bearing plate.

The bottom plate 305 is installed on the support plate 601, and the upper and lower end faces of the push part 400 are respectively attached to the bottom end face of the bottom plate 305 and the top end face of the support plate 601.

[0066] In this embodiment, preferably, the feeding section 100 includes a conveyor belt 101, a pushing cylinder 102, and a discharging platform 103;

[0067] The conveyor belt 101 is arranged parallel to the Y-axis, while the pusher cylinder 102 is arranged parallel to the X-axis. The pusher cylinder 102 and the discharge platform 103 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 101. The discharge platform 103 is the pusher position of the conveyor belt 101. The pusher cylinder 102 pushes the bearing rings transmitted on the conveyor belt 101 and causes the bearing rings to fall onto the discharge platform 103.

[0068] In this embodiment, preferably, the material handling unit 200 includes a lead screw slide 201 and a gripper 202;

[0070] In this embodiment, preferably, the unloading part 500 includes a conveyor belt 501 and an unloading component 502;

[0071] The conveyor belt 501 is located below the push plate 401 in the extension direction, while the unloading component 502 is located at the unloading position of the conveyor belt 501, through which the bearing rings conveyed by the conveyor belt 501 are discharged.

[0072] The working principle of the buffer storage device is explained below:

[0073] A servo motor 306 with a bracket drives one of the support plates 304 to rise until the bend at the end of the support plate 304 is lower than the height of one bearing ring in the circular hole of the top plate 301. Then, the conveyor belt 101 transports the bearing ring, and then the pushing cylinder 102 pushes the bearing ring into the position of the unloading platform 103. Then, the gripper 202, driven by the lead screw slide 201, picks up the bearing ring and places it in the circular hole of the top plate 301. At this time, the bearing ring that falls is supported by the support plate 304. Each time a bearing ring is placed, the servo motor 306 with a bracket drives the support plate 304 to descend by the height of one bearing ring, ensuring that the circular hole of the top plate 301 has a height difference to place one bearing ring. This can achieve the purpose of vertically stacking and storing multiple bearing rings, and can also be used for unloading as needed. During unloading, the discharge cylinder 402 drives the push plate 401 to retract, and one of the support plates 304 is lowered by the servo motor 306 with a bracket. Driven by the machine 306, the bearing plate 304 descends until the bent end of the bearing plate 304 is lowered into the slot of the push plate 401. Meanwhile, the other bearing plate 304 rises, and similarly, the bent end of the bearing plate 304 is lower than the height of one bearing ring in the circular hole of the top plate 301. Then, the discharge cylinder 402 drives the push plate 401 to extend, pushing out the bearing at the bottom of the bearing plate 304. Since the slot on the push plate 401 is long and narrow and is not blocked by the bent end of the bearing plate 304, while the bearing ring is circular, the bearing ring can be pushed out when the discharge cylinder 402 extends. Then, the bearing plate 304 is lifted by the servo motor 306 with bracket to avoid friction with the bottom bearing ring when the discharge cylinder 402 retracts, which would cause adverse effects. It also avoids the bearing ring at the bottom tilting due to friction, which would prevent smooth unloading. After the discharge cylinder 402 retracts, the bearing plate 304 descends again, and this cycle is repeated.

[0074] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
