Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of brake pad manufacturing, and in particular to a brake pad receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core braking component, the quality of automotive brake pads directly determines driving safety. After production, brake pads must undergo a multi-dimensional and high-precision testing process to screen out unqualified products. The testing process is generally carried out in layers according to the logic of appearance, size, performance, reliability, and factory verification.

[0003] Initial inspection (i.e., screening for appearance and basic defects) is the first line of defense in the inspection process. It uses a combination of manual inspection and machine vision to check for visible defects on the surface and edges of the brake pads. Specifically, in the relevant technology, the manufactured brake pads are transported on a conveyor belt, and an inspection machine is set up in the direction of the conveyor belt to detect visible defects in the brake pads. A receiving tray is set up next to the conveyor belt, and brake pads with visible defects are transferred to the receiving tray for recycling.

[0004] The problem with the related technology is that the spacing between two adjacent brake pads cannot be adjusted during the transmission of brake pads on the conveyor belt. When two adjacent brake pads are too close to each other when passing through the inspection machine, it may impair the inspection machine's recognition of "a single inspection object", which may lead to distorted inspection results and misjudgments. On the other hand, if the spacing between two adjacent brake pads is too large, it will lead to a longer inspection time and affect the inspection efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To save time spent on the initial inspection of brake pads and improve inspection efficiency, this application provides a brake pad receiving device.

[0006] The brake pad collecting device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A brake pad receiving device includes a transmission unit and a receiving unit that are relatively independently arranged. The transmission unit has an opening on one side near the receiving unit. A pushing component is arranged on the other side of the transmission unit opposite to the opening. The pushing component is used to push the brake pad material on the transmission unit out of the opening. A spacing adjustment component and a detection unit are also arranged sequentially on the transmission unit. The spacing adjustment unit is located behind the pushing component, and the detection unit is located between the spacing adjustment unit and the pushing component.

[0008] Optionally, the pushing component includes a push plate and a driver. A mounting plate is fixed to the side of the transmission unit, the driver is fixed to the mounting plate, and the push plate is mounted on the driving end of the driver, so that the push plate can move closer to or further away from the opening.

[0009] Optionally, the transmission unit is provided with a bracket corresponding to the position of the spacing adjustment component. The spacing adjustment component includes an adjustment plate and a driver. The driver is fixed on the bracket, and the adjustment plate is connected to the driver. The driver can drive the adjustment plate to rotate in a vertical plane to block or conduct the transmission of the brake pad.

[0010] Optionally, the adjusting plate has a front end and a rear end, the distances of the front end and the rear end to the rotation axis of the adjusting plate are equal, and the driver controls the adjusting plate to rotate intermittently, so that the front end and the rear end can contact the surface of the transmission unit at a certain frequency.

[0011] Optionally, the receiving unit includes a receiving tray and a chassis. The chassis is fixed on the base surface, and the receiving tray is installed on the chassis. A receiving port is formed on the side of the receiving tray near the transmission unit, and the receiving port corresponds to the opening.

[0012] Optionally, a transition plate is installed at the opening of the transmission unit. The end of the transition plate away from the opening extends obliquely toward the receiving unit, and the end of the transition plate closer to the receiving unit is lower than the other end.

[0013] Optionally, the receiving tray includes a turntable and a barrier. A rotary drive assembly is installed on the chassis. The turntable is connected to the drive end of the rotary drive assembly. A mounting bracket is also provided on the chassis. The barrier is fixed to the turntable by the mounting bracket.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. Through the coordinated setup of the push component and the receiving tray, during the brake pad inspection process, defective brake pads are automatically recycled by being transferred from the push component to the receiving tray through the opening. The spacing adjustment component located behind the push component can block or conduct the transmission of the brake pads to be inspected, thereby adjusting the spacing between two adjacent brake pads to a suitable range. This not only prevents the distortion of the inspection results but also ensures the inspection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a brake pad receiving device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A brake pad receiving device includes a relatively independently distributed transmission unit 1 and a receiving unit 2, with the receiving unit 2 located on one side of the transmission unit 1. Finished brake pads are transferred to the transmission unit 1 and conveyed forward. A detection unit 6 is installed on the transmission unit 1, and the conveying brake pads pass through the detection unit 6 to detect visible defects on their surface and edges. The transmission unit 1 also has a cooperating pushing component 4 and an opening 3, with the pushing component 4 located on one side of the brake pad conveying direction and the opening 3 formed on the other side. After the brake pads pass through the detection unit 6, the detection unit 6 transmits image and other information to the control system. The control system analyzes and compares the results and outputs them. When the comparison results indicate a defect in the brake pad, the control system sends a signal to the pushing component 4, causing the pushing component 4 to activate and push the defective brake pad through the opening 3. The receiving unit 2 is positioned corresponding to the opening 3 and is used to collect the defective brake pads.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 The pushing component 4 includes a push plate 41 and a first driver 42. The first driver 42 can move the push plate 41 towards or away from the opening 3. The push plate 41 is set as a long strip plate with a length adapted to the brake pad. When the brake pad is conveyed to the push plate 41, the first driver 42 makes corresponding actions according to the command signal of the control system: when no defect is detected, the first driver 42 does not start, and the push plate 41 remains fixed on one side of the transmission unit 1. When a defect is detected, the first driver 42 starts, drives the push plate 41 to move and applies a pushing force towards the opening 3 to the brake pad with the defect. The brake pad moves out through the opening 3 and is transferred to the receiving unit 2.

[0024] The first driver 42 mentioned above can be a telescopic cylinder, which drives the push plate 41 to push out or retract; the first driver 42 can also be a forward and reverse motor, with the drive shaft of the forward and reverse motor connected to one end of the push plate 41, so that the push plate 41 can rotate in the horizontal plane, and apply external force to the brake pad through the rotation of the push plate 41.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A spacing adjustment component 5 is also provided on the transmission unit 1. The spacing adjustment component 5 is located behind the detection unit 6 and can control the opening and closing of the brake pad transmission path, thereby controlling the spacing between two adjacent brake pads. When the brake pad enters the transmission unit 1, it passes through the spacing adjustment component 5, the detection unit 6, and the pushing component 4 in sequence on its transmission path, and is finally sent out from the outlet of the transmission unit 1. The transmission unit 1 is preferably a chain conveyor belt. A mounting plate and a bracket are respectively installed on the transmission unit 1 at the positions corresponding to the spacing adjustment component 5 and the pushing component 4. The mounting plate provides support for the pushing component 4, and the bracket provides support for the spacing adjustment component 5.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments of this application, the spacing adjustment component 5 includes an adjustment plate 51 and a second driver 52. The second driver 52 is mounted on the bracket. The adjustment plate 51 is connected to the driving end of the second driver 52. The second driver 52 can drive the adjustment plate 51 to rotate in a vertical plane. When one side of the adjustment plate 51 rotates downward, its side approaches the transmission surface of the transmission unit 1, so that the distance between the side and the transmission surface is less than the thickness of the brake pad, thereby intercepting the brake pad on the transmission unit 1.

[0027] In actual operation, multiple brake pads are simultaneously conveyed on the transmission unit 1. Based on the analysis of the distance between two adjacent brake pads, after the front brake pad passes through the distance adjustment component 5, the second driver 52 can drive the adjustment plate 51 to rotate and intercept the rear brake pad. The front brake pad continues to be conveyed forward, so that the distance between two adjacent brake pads changes. By controlling the rotation frequency of the adjustment plate 51, the distance between two adjacent adjustment plates 51 can be adjusted.

[0028] Furthermore, the adjusting plate 51 is configured to have a front end 511 and a rear end 512, with the front end 511 and the rear end 512 being equidistant from the axis of rotation of the adjusting plate 51. The front end 511 is the end of the adjusting plate 51 located in front of the brake pad transmission direction, and the rear end 512 is the end located behind the brake pad transmission direction. During operation, after the brake pad in front passes, the second driver 52 controls the front end 511 of the adjusting plate 51 to rotate towards the transmission unit 1, intercepting adjacent and subsequent brake pads. After the front brake pad has been transmitted a certain distance, the second driver 52 then controls the rear end 512 of the adjusting plate 51 to rotate towards the transmission unit 1, while the front end 511 moves away from the transmission unit 1. This allows the brake pad adjacent to the front brake pad to be transmitted forward with the transmission unit 1, while the rear brake pad is intercepted by the rear end 512. After the brake pad continues to be transmitted a certain distance, the rear end 512 moves away from the transmission unit 1, and the rear brake pad is transmitted forward. This process repeats continuously, achieving continuous adjustment of the spacing between multiple brake pads transmitted on the transmission unit 1. Preferably, the second driver 52 is a forward and reverse rotating motor.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments of this application, the receiving unit 2 includes a chassis 22 and a receiving tray 21, wherein the receiving tray 21 includes a turntable 211 and a retaining wall 212. The chassis 22 is placed on a base surface, and the receiving tray 21 is disposed at the upper end of the chassis 22. A rotary drive assembly 24 is mounted on the upper surface of the chassis 22, and the turntable 211 is connected to the drive end of the rotary drive assembly 24. A mounting bracket is also provided on the upper surface of the chassis 22, and the retaining wall 212 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 211 through the mounting bracket. By setting the retaining wall 212 to a certain shape, a receiving opening 23 and a recycling space can be formed on the turntable 211. When the brake pad is pushed out from the opening 3 by the push assembly 4, it falls into the receiving opening 23. The rotary drive assembly 24 drives the turntable 211 to rotate, and the friction between the brake pad and the turntable 211 drives the brake pad to move to the recycling space to complete the collection. The rotary drive assembly 24 can be a motor gear transmission mechanism, and the turntable 211 is specifically connected to the driven wheel in the battery gear transmission mechanism.

[0030] Furthermore, to ensure a smooth transition of the brake pads from the opening 3 of the transmission unit 1 to the receiving port 23, a transition plate 7 is also provided at the opening 3, with the end of the transition plate 7 away from the opening 3 extending to the receiving port 23. Preferably, the transition plate 7 is inclined, with its height near the opening 3 being higher than its height near the receiving port 23.

[0031] This application embodiment discloses a brake pad receiving device. Through the cooperative arrangement of a pushing component 4 and a receiving disc 21, during the brake pad inspection process, defective brake pads are automatically recycled by the pushing component 4 through the opening 3 onto the receiving disc 21. The spacing adjustment component 5, located behind the pushing component 4, can block or conduct the transmission of the brake pads to be inspected, thereby adjusting the spacing between two adjacent brake pads to a suitable range. This not only prevents the inspection results from being distorted but also ensures inspection efficiency.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
