The invention relates to a conveying mechanism for spherical workpieces for automobiles. For example, the conveying mechanism of the spherical workpiece for the automobile comprises a base, a first conveying piece, a rotating clamping and stopping piece and a second conveying piece, wherein two supporting rods are arranged on the base. For example, the first transmission member is rotatably connected to the two support rods through a rotating shaft, a first transmission channel is formed in the first transmission member, and the rotating clamping stop member is movably mounted on the base and clamped on the first transmission member. For example, the second conveyor is arranged on the base and below the first conveyor, one end of the second conveyor is engaged with the conveyor belt, and the spherical workpiece moves from the first conveyor toward the rotating block by means of gravity and forces the rotating block to spring open to release the first conveyor. For example, the first conveyor rotates so that the end of the first conveyor remote from the rotary latch approaches and engages the second conveyor obliquely downward, and the spherical workpiece retreats from the first conveyor into the second conveyor. For example, the moving direction of the spherical workpiece when entering the second conveying member forms an angle of 15-35 with the extending direction of the second conveying member.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a spherical workpiece conveying mechanism for an automobile includes a base 10, a first conveying member 20, a rotating fastener 30 and a second conveying member 40, the base 10 is provided with two support rods 101, the first conveying member 20 is rotatably connected to the two support rods 101 through a rotating shaft 201, a first conveying channel 21 is formed in the first conveying member 20, the rotating fastener 30 is movably mounted on the base 10 and fastened on the first conveying member 20, the second conveying member 40 is arranged on the base 10 and located below the first conveying member 20, one end of the second conveying member 40 is connected to a conveying belt, the spherical workpiece moves from the first conveying member 20 toward the rotating fastener 30 by gravity and forces the rotating fastener 30 to spring away to release the first conveying member 20, and the first conveying member 20 rotates to enable one end of the first conveying member 20 far away from the rotating fastener 30 to tilt and move downward and approach to the rotating fastener 30 and rotate downward The spherical workpiece is connected to the second conveying member 40, the spherical workpiece retreats from the first conveying member 20 to enter the second conveying member 40, and an included angle of 15-35 is formed between the moving direction of the spherical workpiece entering the second conveying member 40 and the extending direction of the second conveying member 40.
For example, when the conveying mechanism for spherical workpieces for automobiles is used, spherical workpieces are conveyed to the first conveying member 20, the spherical workpieces move from the first conveying member 20 to the rotating clamping part 30 by means of gravity and force the rotating clamping part 30 to spring open to release the first conveying member 20, the first conveying member 20 rotates to enable one end of the first conveying member, far away from the rotating clamping part 30, to move downwards in an inclined mode to be connected to the second conveying member 40, the spherical workpieces retreat from the first conveying member 20 to the second conveying member 40, and an included angle of 15-35 is formed between the moving direction of the spherical workpieces entering the second conveying member 40 and the extending direction of the second conveying member 40. Since the spherical workpiece does not fall directly vertically onto the second transfer member 40, it is moved back and forth and finally onto the second transfer member 40 at an angle of 15-35 degrees, so that the spherical workpiece maintains most of its speed, avoiding its collision with the second transfer member 40 and its bruising.
For example, in order to facilitate the installation of the first conveying member 20, the base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a limiting frame 12, the second conveying member 40 is fixed on the bottom plate 11, and the limiting frame 12 is protruded at one end of the bottom plate 11. The second conveying member 40 is provided with a second conveying passage 41, and the second conveying passage 41 extends in the horizontal direction. The two support rods 101 are convexly arranged on the bottom plate 11 and are respectively positioned at two opposite sides of the second conveying member 40, and two opposite ends of the rotating shaft 201 are respectively connected to the two support rods 101. The first conveying member 20 includes a guide frame 22 and a stop frame 23 respectively located at two opposite sides of the rotating shaft 201, and the guide frame 22 is used for guiding the spherical workpiece to enter the first conveying passage 21. The guide frame 22 is longer than the locking frame 23, a locking piece 235 is protruded from an end of the locking frame 23, and the locking piece 235 is movably locked to the rotational locking member 30. By arranging the two support rods 101 on the bottom plate 11, the first transmission member 20 can be conveniently installed. The guide frame 22 and the locking frame 23 are arranged such that after the first conveyor 20 is released from the rotary locking member 30, the first conveyor 20 can rotate around the rotating shaft 201 to lower the height of the guide frame 22, and the spherical workpiece is lowered and retreated.
For example, in order to facilitate the installation of the rotation stop 30, the limiting frame 12 is adjacent to the conveyor belt, and two mounting plates 121 are respectively protruded from two sides of the bottom of the limiting frame 12, and the two mounting plates 121 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the second conveyor 40. A pivot 31 is provided at a bottom end of the rotary latch 30, and opposite ends of the pivot 31 are rotatably coupled to the two mounting plates 121, respectively. By providing the two mounting plates 121, the rotational grip 30 is rotatably mounted on the base 10 and rotation of the rotational grip 30 is facilitated.
For example, it is particularly important that the rotation stop 30 is located between the limiting frame 12 and the first transfer element 20, the limiting frame 12 being perpendicular to the second transfer element 40 so that the rotation stop 30 can be deflected toward the first transfer element 20 and rotate toward the first transfer element 20 under its own weight. For example, the distance between the rotational catch 30 and the position limiting frame 12 gradually increases in the vertically upward direction. For example, the rotating fastener 30 is a straight bar, and a guide groove 32 is provided thereon, a wedge block 33 is provided in the guide groove 32, and a fastening end surface is formed at one end of the wedge block 33 facing the second conveying member 40. The locking piece 235 of the first conveyor 20 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 32 and locked to the locking end surface of the wedge block 33, so that the first conveyor 20 is in an inclined state in which the height position of the locking frame 23 is smaller than the height position of the guide frame 22.
For example, in order to facilitate the rotating clamping part 30 to be able to be flipped open to release the rotating clamping part 30, the conveying mechanism further includes a flipping component 50, the flipping component 50 includes a fixed block 51, a sliding block 52, a pushing rod 53 and a pressure spring 54, the fixed block 51 is fixed in the first conveying channel 21 of the first conveying part 20, the sliding block 52 is slidably disposed in the first conveying channel 21 and located on one side of the fixed block 51 away from the rotating clamping part 30, one end of the pushing rod 53 is fixed on the sliding block 52, the middle of the pushing rod 53 is slidably disposed on the fixed block 51, and the other end of the pushing rod 53 extends toward the rotating clamping part 30 and abuts against the wedge block 33. The side of the sliding block 52 facing away from the rotary catch 30 is formed with a flexible layer. The slider block 52 is located within the guide frame 22. The pressing spring 54 is sleeved on the pushing and abutting rod 53, and two opposite ends of the pressing spring 54 respectively abut against the sliding block 52 and the fixed block 51. For example, in use, the spherical workpiece is used to move, e.g. roll, under the action of gravity from the end of the guide frame 22 toward the rotary latch 30, the spherical workpiece pushes against the flexible layer of the sliding block 52, forcing the pushing rod 53 to compress the compression spring 54 to move so as to push the rotary latch 30 open, the latch piece 235 of the first conveying member 20 disengages from the wedge block 33, the moment of the spherical workpiece and the guide frame 22 is greater than the moment of the latch frame 23, causing the guide frame 22 of the first conveying member 20 to rotate downward and engage on the second conveying member 40, and the spherical workpiece retreats along the first conveying member 20 and rolls into the second conveying channel 41 of the second conveying member 40. Thereafter, push rod 53 returns to its original position, and rotational grip 30, after striking against stop frame 12, rebounds under its own weight to rotate again toward first transfer element 20.
Referring to fig. 3, for example, in order to facilitate the resetting of the first conveying member 20, the conveying mechanism of the spherical workpiece for the automobile further includes an elastic stopping assembly 60, the elastic stopping assembly 60 includes a stopping plate 61, two arc-shaped elastic sheets 62, a passing frame 63 and a tension spring 64, a through groove is formed at the bottom of the second conveying channel 41 near the limiting frame 12, the stopping plate 61 is slidably inserted into the through groove, two limiting posts 615 are convexly arranged at the bottom end of the stopping plate 61, the two arc-shaped elastic sheets 62 are arranged at two opposite sides of the bottom end of the stopping plate 61, one end of each arc-shaped elastic sheet 62 away from the stopping plate 61 is connected to the bottom of the second conveying member 40, and the distance between the arc-shaped elastic sheet 62 and the bottom surface of the second conveying member 40 gradually increases along the direction toward the stopping plate 61. The opposite sides of the second conveying channel 41 are respectively formed with sliding grooves, the passing frame 63 is fixed at the top end of the stop plate 61, the opposite sides of the passing frame 63 are respectively slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves, one end of the tension spring 64 is connected to the top end of the passing frame 63, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the locking frame 23 of the first conveying member 20 through the pivot 31.
When the spherical workpiece rolls from the first conveying member 20 into the second conveying member 40, the first conveying member 20 is configured to rotate and force the height position of the locking frame 23 to be raised, so as to pull the tension spring 64 and overcome the elastic force of the two arc-shaped elastic pieces 62, so that the stop plate 61 enters the second conveying channel 41, and the workpiece conveyed by the conveyor belt, such as other workpieces, is blocked, so as to prevent the other workpieces from striking the spherical workpiece. The two position-limiting columns 615 of the stop plate 61 abut against the bottom surface of the second transmission member 40. When the spherical workpiece completely enters the second conveying channel 41, the stopping frame 23 descends and returns to the original position under the action of the tension spring 64 and the two arc-shaped elastic pieces 62, the stopping piece 235 of the first conveying piece 20 slides along the wedge block 33 and is stopped on the stopping end face of the wedge block 33 again, and at this time, the stopping plate 61 moves downwards again to enable the second conveying channel 41 to pass through. By providing the elastic stopping assembly 60, on one hand, the first conveying member 20 can be conveniently reset for the next conveying, and on the other hand, the subsequent workpiece can be stopped by the stopping plate 61, so that the subsequent workpiece can not influence the entering of the spherical workpiece.
