Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of gear conveying equipment, and in particular relates to a swing arm feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their tiny size, extremely high precision, and susceptibility to damage, the core requirements for the conveying process of micro-gears are precision, gentleness, cleanliness, and orderliness. In actual production, several highly automated conveying methods and corresponding equipment are mainly used depending on the different stages. First, vibratory feeders are the most common and efficient initial screening equipment. They automatically orient, sort, and output random gears on a helical track through high-frequency micro-vibration. For sorted gears, belt conveyors provide a smooth and continuous solution for gentle transfer between processes. If the gears are extremely precise or have stringent cleanliness requirements (such as in the medical field), a fully enclosed flexible blade / pipe conveying system is used. This system utilizes airflow or rotating springs to push the gears within the pipe, effectively preventing dust and offering flexible layout. Finally, in the precision assembly stage, vision-guided robotic arms typically perform the final conveying. They use customized nozzles or grippers for precise picking and placing, and this process often integrates force control sensors to prevent damage.

[0003] The selection of the entire conveying system is highly dependent on the material, shape, output, and cleanliness requirements of the gears. For example, vibratory feeders are highly efficient but may experience micro-wear, while flexible vision alignment machines incorporating industrial cameras are more suitable for the flexible production of complex-shaped gears. Therefore, designing a conveying scheme for micro-gears is a systems engineering project, aiming to seamlessly integrate these specialized devices to build an automated chain that moves from chaos to order and ultimately achieves precise assembly. However, existing micro-gear conveying methods and equipment cannot achieve rapid and precise directional conveying of gears through simple mechanical structures. Utility Model Content

The mounting frame 10 consists of a carrier plate 11, a mounting plate 12, at least one locking member 13, and multiple uprights 14. A limiting block extends downward from the bottom of the carrier plate 11. The limiting block is located near the bottom edge of the carrier plate 11, and the side of the limiting block connected to the bottom of the carrier plate 11 facing away from the limiting block is inclined.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the mounting side plate 31 of the material distribution device 30 is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 11, and the mounting side plate 31 is arranged adjacent to each upright 14. A lifting and moving module 32 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting side plate 31 facing each upright 14. A material distribution fixing plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the lifting and moving module 32. The material distribution fixing plate 33 moves up and down by moving the moving end of the lifting and moving module 32. The mounting seat 331 of the material distribution fixing plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the lifting and moving module 32. An upwardly extending fixing column 332 is provided on the mounting seat 331. A top plate 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the 332. A placement groove 341 for placing a single gear is opened on the top of the top plate 34. Two blocking blocks are arranged opposite each other on the top plane of the top plate 34 away from the edge of the vibrating material plate 20. The two blocking blocks restrict the rotation shafts on both sides of the gear. At the same time, two positioning grooves are opened on the top of the top plate 34 near the two blocking blocks for placing and positioning the rotation shafts on both sides of the gear. The height of the top plate 34 is adjusted by the lifting and moving module 32 to ensure that the top plates 34 of different specifications can be accurately connected to the discharge end of the vibrating material plate 20.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the column 41 of the moving device 40 is fixedly installed on the carrier plate 11, and the column 41 is adjacent to the mounting side plate 31 of the dispensing device 30. A horizontal moving module 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the column 41. The moving end of the horizontal moving module 42 moves horizontally, moving closer to or away from the top material plate 34, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting housing 52 of the swing arm device 50 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the horizontal moving module 42. The rotating component 54 and the swing arm motor 53 of the swing arm device 50 are mounted on the mounting housing 52. The angular contact ball bearing 542 and the skeleton oil seal 544 of the rotating component 54 are both fixedly mounted on the mounting holes provided on the side of the mounting housing 52. The feeding rotating rod 541 of the rotating component 54 passes through the skeleton oil seal 544 and the angular contact ball bearing 542 once and extends into the mounting housing 52. A transmission gear 543 is installed at the end. The other end of the feeding rotating rod 541 is fixedly mounted with a swing arm 51. The rotation of the feeding rotating rod 541 drives the swing arm 51 to rotate at a certain angle. The swing arm motor 53 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting housing 52 opposite to the rotating component 54. The rotating end of the swing arm motor 53 passes into the mounting housing 52. A transmission gear 543 is also sleeved on the rotating end of the swing arm motor 53. The two transmission gears 543 located in the mounting housing 52 are connected by a transmission belt.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, a clamping plate assembly 60 is fixedly installed at the other end of the swing arm 51. One end of the claw plate 61 of the clamping plate assembly 60 is connected to the end of the swing arm 51, and the other end of the claw plate 61 is bent downward to form a barb. The pressure plate 62 of the clamping plate assembly 60 is rotatably mounted on the claw plate 61, and the pressure plate 62 is close to the bent end of the claw plate 61. A limiting protrusion 621 is provided on the side of the pressure plate 62 near the end, and the limiting protrusion 621 is located below the claw plate 61. When the pressure plate 62 rotates to a certain angle, the rotation angle of the pressure plate 62 is limited by the limiting protrusion 621. One end of the tension spring 63 of the clamping plate assembly 60 is connected to the other end of the pressure plate 62, and the other end of the tension spring 63 is connected to the swing arm 51. The tension spring 63 pulls one end of the pressure plate 62 to rotate towards the swing arm 51, thereby driving the other end of the pressure plate 62 to rotate towards the bent end of the hook plate 61, clamping the gear between the pressure plate 62 and the bent end of the hook plate 61.

[0030] When the equipment is running, the carrier plate 11 is fixedly installed by the two locking pieces 13. The vibrating material plate 20 is started to adjust and arrange the various parts and output them to the top material plate 34 with the appropriate specifications after the height is adjusted. The moving end of the horizontal moving module 42 drives the swing arm device 50 to move to a position close to the top material plate 34. The swing arm motor 53 drives the feeding rotating rod 541 to rotate, so that the clamping plate assembly 60 rotates and hooks onto the gear, so that the gear is located between the bent end of the hook plate 61 and the pressure plate 62. The tension spring 63 keeps the other end of the pressure plate 62 in close contact with the gear, so as to prevent the gear from falling off during the rotation of the swing arm 51. The swing arm motor 53 drives the feeding rotating rod 541 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the clamping plate assembly 60 drives the gear away from the top material plate 34 to move in a curve. After the swing arm 51 rotates 180°, it drives the gear to move to the next station. After the gear moves away, the above actions are repeated. The swing arm 51 rotates repeatedly to perform gear gripping and movement, so as to achieve precise gripping and movement of micro gears.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
