Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange processing technology, specifically a continuous feeding device for flange processing. Background Technology

[0002] Flanges are widely used connecting components in pipelines, pressure vessels, and mechanical equipment. Their machining accuracy and assembly efficiency directly affect the overall quality and production cycle of the equipment.

[0003] In the traditional flange processing flow, the loading process usually relies on manual operation or the cooperation of a robot with a double clamping mechanism. This results in low loading efficiency and the inability to meet the requirements of multi-step operations, such as cleaning, lubricating oil spraying, and cooling operations before unloading the flange.

[0004] Especially in the batch processing of medium and large flanges, frequent manual handling is not only inefficient but also poses certain safety hazards. Furthermore, many clamping mechanisms adopt fixed structures or single clamping methods, which are difficult to adapt to the processing needs of flanges of different specifications, resulting in poor equipment versatility and long production line changeover times.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated feeding device that is highly adjustable, can operate continuously, and can adapt to flanges of various specifications, in order to improve processing efficiency and automation level. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a continuous feeding device for flange processing, comprising a stabilizing component, the stabilizing component comprising a stabilizing base plate, a base fixed on the stabilizing base plate, and a supporting mechanism provided on the side of the base.

[0007] The support mechanism includes support rods that are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the base, and a lifting mechanism is installed on each support rod.

[0008] The lifting mechanism is equipped with a drive assembly, which includes two symmetrically arranged stabilizing side plates and a stabilizing support rod at the position of its shaft core for fixing the two. Multiple gears are distributed between the two stabilizing side plates.

[0009] A feeding assembly is mounted on the side of the drive assembly. The feeding assembly includes a gear ring meshing with the sides of three gears. Multiple first electric push rods are mounted on the side of the gear ring. A sleeve is fixed on the output end of the first electric push rod. A gripper mechanism for clamping and fixing the flange is mounted on the sleeve, as well as a control mechanism for controlling the gripper's clamping movement.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes two rings arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom, namely a lower ring and an upper ring, which are connected by a second electric push rod, wherein the lower ring is movably sleeved on the side of the support rod.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the stabilizing support rod are fixed with connecting rods, which are movably sleeved in the upper collar.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the side of the support rod along its length, and a positioning screw is threadedly connected to the side of the lower collar, with one end of the positioning screw fitting into the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, a drive motor is fixed to the outer side of one of the stabilizing side plates, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the other side of the corresponding stabilizing side plate and is fixed to the shaft of any gear.

[0014] Preferably, the gripper mechanism includes slide rails symmetrically arranged on the side of the sleeve, and a clamping plate is movably connected to the slide rails.

[0015] Preferably, an adjusting groove is provided on the slide rail plate along its length, and a sliding block is fixed on the back of the clamping plate, the sliding block being slidably connected in the adjusting groove.

[0016] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a regulating motor fixed to the side of the sleeve and a threaded rod rotatably connected to the sleeve. A drive gear is fixed to the output end of the regulating motor, a transmission gear ring is fixed to the middle of the threaded rod, and a transmission gear belt meshes with the side of the drive gear and the transmission gear ring.

[0017] Preferably, both ends of the threaded rod are threadedly connected to their corresponding sliding blocks.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a continuous feeding device for flange processing, which has the following advantages: 1. This continuous feeding device for flange processing adopts a rotary feeding method. The drive component drives the toothed ring to rotate, causing the gripper mechanism on the side of the toothed ring to switch circumferentially. This allows for continuous gripping of the flange at the bottom. After feeding, the gripper rotates to different angles to engage with different workpieces (cleaning, spraying lubricating oil, etc.) and finally reaches the feeding station. This achieves rapid continuous operation while meeting the requirements of multi-step operation.

[0019] 2. This continuous feeding device for flange processing, through the cooperation of the support rod and the lifting mechanism, can quickly adjust the height and spacing of the clamping mechanism to meet the clamping requirements of flanges of different sizes. In addition, with the help of the threaded rod to drive the opening and closing movement of the clamping plate, it can meet the feeding of flanges of different sizes, thus maximizing the application range of the device.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, the continuous feeding device for flange processing proposed in this embodiment includes a stabilizing component 1. The stabilizing component 1 includes a stabilizing base plate 11 made of a metal plate that is placed horizontally, which is used to place it stably on the ground or workbench. The stabilizing base plate 11 is fixed by bolts that penetrate through it and drill into the corresponding surface. A base 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the stabilizing base plate 11 by welding. A support mechanism 13 is provided on the side of the base 12 to provide lateral support.

[0024] The support mechanism 13 includes two cylindrical support rods 131, which are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the base 12 and parallel to the stable base plate 11. Each support rod 131 has a long strip-shaped limiting groove 132 on its side along its length to limit the sliding path of the moving part and prevent slippage.

[0025] Each support rod 131 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 14 for adjusting the height. The mechanism includes two rings arranged symmetrically, namely a lower ring 141 and an upper ring 142. The two rings are connected by a second electric push rod 143 (the cylinder of the push rod is fixed on the lower ring 141, and the output end is fixed on the upper ring 142). It is equipped with an independent controller or control button to control the upper ring 142 to extend and retract at the output end of the second electric push rod 143.

[0026] The lower collar 141 is movably sleeved on the side of the support rod 131. By sliding along the path of the support rod 131, the distance between the two lifting mechanisms 14 can be expanded or reduced to meet the clamping operation of flanges of different sizes. In order to fix the adjusted distance, the side of the lower collar 141 is threaded with a positioning screw 144. By rotating the positioning screw 144 clockwise or counterclockwise, its front end can be pressed against or disengaged from the corresponding wall surface in the limiting slide groove 132. In the pressed state, the position of the lower collar 141 is fixed. In the disengaged state, the lower collar 141 can be displaced and adjusted.

[0027] The lifting mechanism 14 is equipped with a drive assembly 2. The drive assembly 2 includes two symmetrically arranged triangular stabilizing side plates 21. The core position of the two stabilizing side plates 21 is fixed by a stabilizing support rod 22. A connecting rod 23 is fixed at each end of the stabilizing support rod 22. Each connecting rod 23 is movably sleeved in the upper collar 142 of the two lifting mechanisms 14.

[0028] Meanwhile, three gears 24 mounted on bearings are distributed between the two stabilizing side plates 21. A drive motor 25 is fixed to the outside of one of the stabilizing side plates 21. The output end of the drive motor 25 passes through the other side of the corresponding stabilizing side plate 21 and is fixed to the shaft of any gear 24 (the output end of the motor is preferably connected to the top gear 24, but not limited to this). When the drive motor 25 is in operation, its output end drives the connected gear 24 to rotate.

[0029] The drive assembly 2 is equipped with a feeding assembly 3 on its side for clamping and conveying the flange. The feeding assembly 3 includes a gear ring 31 that meshes with the sides of three gears 24 simultaneously. When the motor drives the gears to rotate, the gear ring 31 rotates accordingly.

[0030] Multiple first electric push rods 32 are evenly installed circumferentially on the side of the gear ring 31. The cylinder of the first electric push rod 32 is mounted on the gear ring 31, and the output end is fixed with a sleeve 321. A gripper mechanism 33 for clamping and fixing the flange and a control mechanism 34 for controlling the gripper's clamping movement are installed on the sleeve 321.

[0031] The gripper mechanism 33 includes two elongated slide rails 331 symmetrically arranged on the side of the sleeve 321. Each slide rail 331 has an adjustment groove 333 along its length.

[0032] A right-angled clamping plate 332 is movably connected to the slide rail 331. The inner side of the clamping plate 332 is provided with anti-slip texture, and a sliding block 334 is fixed on the back of the clamping plate 332. The width of the sliding block 334 matches the width of the adjusting groove 333, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping plate 332 sliding on the slide rail 331.

[0033] The control mechanism 34 includes a regulating motor 341 fixed to the side of the sleeve 321, and a threaded rod 342 connected to the sleeve 321 laterally via a bearing. The output end of the regulating motor 341 has a bidirectional rotation function and is fixed with a drive gear 343. A transmission gear ring 344 is fixed in the middle of the threaded rod 342. A transmission gear belt 345 meshes with the side of the drive gear 343 and the transmission gear ring 344, so that when the regulating motor 341 operates, kinetic energy is transmitted to the threaded rod 342.

[0034] Meanwhile, the two ends of the threaded rod 342 are provided with opposite threads, which are respectively threaded to their corresponding sliding blocks 334. By rotating the threaded rod 342 clockwise or counterclockwise, the sliding blocks 334 at both ends are driven to move synchronously relative to each other or in opposite directions, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing operation of the clamping plate 332.

[0035] The working principle of the continuous feeding device for flange processing proposed in this embodiment is as follows: First, the stable base plate 11 is placed stably on the ground or workbench. Bolts are then inserted through the stable base plate 11 and drilled into the corresponding surfaces to fix the entire device. Next, an external crawler conveyor for conveying flanges is mounted on the bottom of the gear ring 31 and above the base 12, ensuring that the gripper mechanism 33 at the bottom of the gear ring 31 maintains a distance from the conveyor in its initial state. Flanges are then placed sequentially on the conveyor for transport. Simultaneously, the drive assembly 2 is activated, causing the drive motor 25 to drive one of its gears 24 to rotate. Through the meshing force between the side of the gear 24 and the inner wall of the gear ring 31, the gear ring 31 drives multiple feeding assemblies 3 on its side to rotate. When the flanges are sequentially transported to the gear ring... When the feeding assembly 3, located on the lower side of 31, is aligned, the first electric push rod 32 operates, causing its output end to drive the sleeve 321 and the front-end gripper mechanism 33 to move downwards until the two clamping plates 332 are inserted into the inner ring of the flange. At this time, the control motor 341 operates, causing the threaded rod 342 to rotate. The two clamping plates 332 gradually unfold towards both ends and fit against the inner ring of the flange for fixation. Then, the output end of the first electric push rod 32 is retracted, lifting the flange away from the conveyor. At this time, as the toothed ring 31 rotates to the required feeding position, the output end of the first electric push rod 32 is extended, fitting the flange against the processing position. Then, the output end of the control motor 341 is reversed, causing the two clamping plates 332 to gradually move closer to the center and detach from the inner ring of the flange.
