Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the application will be readily understood, a more particular description of the application will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. The present application may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application, whereby the application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

First, referring to fig. 1, a forging stock 1 is illustrated. Referring to the front view, a boss 1a is arranged at the upper part of the forging material 1, and the boss 1a is the part with the largest outer diameter of the forging material 1; the upper end of the boss 1a is provided with an end block 1c, and the outer diameter of the end block 1c is smaller than the outer diameter of the boss 1 a; the side of the boss 1a is provided with a positioning hole 1b, and the positioning hole 1b penetrates the boss 1a along the vertical direction. With reference to the top view, the positioning hole 1b is positioned at the edge of the forging material 1, and the positioning hole 1b is not blocked by the solid part of the forging material 1 along the length direction of the forging material 1. With continued reference to the front view, the lower end of the boss 1a is provided with a tail portion 1d of a larger length, and the outer diameter of the tail portion 1d is smaller than the outer diameter of the boss 1a.

Because the head portion (including the boss 1a and the end block 1 c) of the forging 1 is large in size and large in mass, the center of gravity of the forging 1 is shifted upward, and the forging 1 moves forward with the head portion and the tail portion 1d down when the forging 1 is conveyed by vibration using the vibration plate 150.

In the application, the state that the head part and the tail part 1d of the forging material 1 are arranged at the lower part of the forging material 1 shown in the front view of fig. 1 is the normal state of the forging material 1; the forging material 1 is turned over by 180 degrees, and the state that the tail 1d is in the upper and the head is in the lower is the inverted state of the forging material 1.

The application provides an aluminum killed steel forging device, which comprises: a loading device 100 for conveying inverted forging stock 1; the positioning and adjusting device 200 is used for receiving the forging material 1 conveyed by the feeding device 100 and adjusting the forging material 1 to a preset state; forging machine 400 for forging stock 1 in a preset state.

Specifically, the feeder 100 is used to calibrate the head-to-tail direction of the forging stock 1, and finally uniformly output the forging stock 1 in an inverted state. The positioning adjustment device 200 is used for adjusting the position of the positioning hole 1b and finally uniformly outputting the positioning hole 1b toward the same forging material 1.

It should be explained that taking the structure of the forging material 1 shown in fig. 1 as an example, the forging material 1 is an integrally formed structure, and in the forming process of the forging material 1, a positioning hole 1b is formed at a preset position of the forging material 1; the setting of the positioning hole 1b is not the shape of the forging material 1 required by the forging process, but a special design for adjusting the forging material 1 to a preset state in the application; because the positioning hole 1b is positioned at the edge of the forging material 1, and the size of the positioning hole 1b is smaller, the positioning hole 1b does not influence the forging forming of the forging material 1 during actual forging; meanwhile, since the position of the positioning hole 1b relative to the physical part of the forging material 1 is fixed, after the positioning adjustment device 200 receives the inverted forging material 1, the forging material 1 is kept in an inverted state 1, and the positioning hole 1b is adjusted to face a preset direction, or the positioning hole 1b is adjusted to a preset position fixed relative to the positioning adjustment device 200, so that the whole forging material 1 is ensured to be in a preset state, and at the moment, each part of the forging material 1 is located at a preset position and faces a preset direction; this allows the forging 1 to have a uniform state.

In summary, by matching the feeding device 100 and the positioning adjustment device 200, the forging material 1 received by the forging machine 400 has a uniform preset state, and at this time, the forging material 1 is inverted and the positioning hole 1b faces the preset direction, so that the forging machine 400 can accurately and rapidly perform forging work.

Wherein, loading attachment 100 includes: a conveying mechanism 110 for conveying the forging stock 1 placed in front; the extracting mechanism 130 is used for extracting the forging stock 1 which is arranged vertically, and can turn over the forging stock 1 so that the forging stock 1 is inverted.

The conveying mechanism 110 can adopt a mechanism such as a conveying belt, a motorized roller way and the like which are convenient for moving materials; the conveying mechanism 110 can continuously convey forward the forging stock 1 in the normal position.

The material taking mechanism 130 can adopt a mechanism such as a sucker, a manipulator, a robot and the like which are convenient for obtaining materials one by one; after the conveying mechanism 110 conveys the forging stock 1 to the preset station, the material taking mechanism 130 can obtain one forging stock 1 from the preset station and turn over the forging stock 1 by 180 degrees so that the forging stock 1 is converted into an inverted state from a normal state; the positioning adjustment device 200 interfaces with the reclaimer mechanism 130 and is capable of receiving the inverted forging stock 1.

Wherein, the positioning adjustment device 200 comprises: the rotary table 210 can drive the forging materials 1 to move from a material receiving station A to a first positioning station B and a discharging station D in sequence through rotation, wherein the material receiving station A is used for butt-connecting the feeding device 100 to receive the inverted forging materials 1, and the discharging station D is used for butt-connecting the forging machine 400 to output the forging materials 1 after the adjustment; a third detecting mechanism 231 disposed at the first positioning station B; a first rotating mechanism 241 disposed at the first positioning station B; the forging material 1 is provided with a positioning hole 1b; after the forging stock 1 reaches the first positioning station B, the first rotating mechanism 241 drives the forging stock 1 to rotate so that the positioning hole 1B is detected by the third detecting mechanism 231.

It should be noted that, the forging material 1 output from the feeding device 100 is only guaranteed to be in an inverted state, after the positioning adjustment device 200 receives the forging material 1, the position of the positioning hole 1b on the forging material 1 relative to the positioning adjustment device 200 is uncertain, and the orientation of the positioning hole 1b of each forging material 1 entering the positioning adjustment device 200 may be different.

The feeding device 100 conveys the forging stock 1 to the stock receiving station a, and after the positioning adjustment device 200 receives the forging stock 1, the turntable 210 rotates to move the forging stock 1 to the first positioning station B, so that the detection end of the third detection mechanism 231 is opposite to the forging stock 1. If the third detecting mechanism 231 detects the positioning hole 1b, the positioning hole 1b is proved to be at the preset position, and the forging material 1 is proved to be at the preset state; if the third detecting mechanism 231 cannot detect the positioning hole 1b, it is verified that the positioning hole 1b is not at the preset position and the forging material 1 is not at the preset state.

If the forging stock 1 is not in the preset state, it is necessary that the first rotating mechanism 241 acts on the forging stock 1 so that the forging stock 1 horizontally rotates while maintaining the inverted state; as the forging stock 1 continuously rotates, the third detection mechanism 231 can detect the positioning hole 1b.

In one embodiment, the third detection mechanism 231 employs a reflective sensor. In this embodiment, if the positioning hole 1b is not at the preset position, the position is necessarily the solid part of the forging material 1, and the detection signal of the third detection mechanism 231 is reflected by the solid part of the forging material 1 when it is directed to the preset position; if the positioning hole 1b is at the preset position, the detection signal of the third detection mechanism 231 can pass through the positioning hole 1b and pass through the preset position when being shot to the preset position, and no reflection signal is generated; thereby determining whether the positioning hole 1b is at a preset position.

In another embodiment, the third detection mechanism 231 employs an correlation sensor; at this time, the third detection mechanism 231 includes a signal transmitting unit and a signal receiving unit. In this embodiment, if the positioning hole 1b is not at the preset position, the signal receiving unit cannot receive the detection signal sent by the signal transmitting unit; if the positioning hole 1b is at the preset position, the detection signal sent by the signal transmitting unit can pass through the positioning hole 1b, pass through the preset position and be finally received by the signal receiving unit; thereby determining whether the positioning hole 1b is at a preset position.

In yet another embodiment, the third detection mechanism 231 employs a CCD camera (charge coupled device ); at this time, the third detecting mechanism 231 can photograph the preset position so as to confirm whether the positioning hole 1b is at the preset position.

The present application is not limited to the specific configuration of the third detection mechanism 231.

In one embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 241 includes a turntable and a turntable driving member, where the turntable is disposed on the turntable 210, and the turntable driving member may use a motor, a rotating cylinder, or the like to rotate the driving member; as the turntable 210 rotates, the inverted forging stock 1 is placed into the turntable as the turntable moves to the stock receiving station a; the turntable 210 continues to rotate, and when the turntable moves to the first positioning station B, the turntable driving member operates to drive the turntable to rotate with the forging stock 1.

In another embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 241 includes an extracting member and an extracting driving member, where the extracting member is disposed at the first positioning station B, and the extracting driving member may adopt a motor, a rotating cylinder, or the like to rotate the driving member; after the rotary table 210 moves the forging stock 1 to the first positioning station B, the extracting member grabs the forging stock 1, and the extracting driving member drives the extracting member to rotate with the forging stock 1.

The present application is not limited to the specific configuration of the first rotating mechanism 241.

In addition, the positioning adjustment device 200 adopts the rotary table 210 to transfer the forging material 1 in multiple stations, on one hand, the rotary table 210 can be simultaneously connected with a plurality of stations, so that the stations are arranged around the rotary table 210 and the circumference, the linear occupation of the stations can be effectively reduced, and the space layout of equipment can be optimized; on the other hand, the rotary table 210 can simultaneously take out a plurality of forgings 1, and when one of the forgings is at the material taking station a, another one of the forgings is at the first positioning station B, and another one of the forgings is at the discharging station D, so that the rotary table 210 can continuously take out, adjust and output the forgings 1, which is beneficial to the working efficiency of the positioning adjustment device 200.

In one embodiment, the feeding device 100 includes: a conveying mechanism 110 for conveying the forging stock 1 to the first station; a transfer mechanism 120 for transferring the forging stock 1 at the first station to the second station; and a take-out mechanism 130 for taking out the forging stock 1 at the second station and transferring the forging stock 1 downstream.

In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 120 is used for sorting the forging stock 1, and can regularly and efficiently feed the forging stock 1 one by one to the second station.

Specifically, the conveying mechanism 110 is for abutting upstream so as to receive the molded forging stock 1 and convey the forging stock 1 downstream; the delivery mechanism 120 is provided at the output end of the conveying mechanism 110, and is capable of taking one forging material 1 and conveying the forging material 1 to the take-out mechanism 130.

The transfer mechanism 120 has the functions of transfer and reverse conveyance. Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the conveying mechanism 110 conveys the forging stock in the left-right direction, and the delivery mechanism 120 conveys the forging stock in the up-down direction; the conveying mechanism 110 is intersected with the conveying direction of the material conveying mechanism 120, the material conveying mechanism 120 can be connected with the first station and the second station in series, the feeding device 100 is prevented from conveying the forging material 1 along a long straight line, and the effect of optimizing the occupied space of equipment is achieved.

Alternatively, the transfer mechanism 110 can simultaneously convey a plurality of forgings 1, and the delivery mechanism 120 can only receive and deliver one of the forgings 1 at a time; thus, after one feeding operation, only one forging material 1 exists at the second station, and the material taking mechanism 130 can accurately grasp the forging material 1.

Alternatively, the conveying mechanism 110 includes a first conveying assembly 111 and a second conveying assembly 112 disposed at intervals; the forging material 1 comprises a boss 1a; the first conveying member 111 and the second conveying member 112 can cooperate with the support boss 1a when the conveying mechanism 110 conveys the forging material 1.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the first and second transfer assemblies 111 and 112 are disposed at intervals in the up-down direction; when the conveying mechanism 110 is used for conveying the forging material 1 shown in fig. 1, the interval distance between the first conveying assembly 111 and the second conveying assembly 112 is smaller than the width of the boss 1a but larger than the width of the tail 1 d; therefore, when the forging stock 1 is in the normal state and is conveyed forward on the conveying mechanism 110, the tail 1d can penetrate between the first conveying assembly 111 and the second conveying assembly 112, and the boss 1a can be supported by the first conveying assembly 111 and the second conveying assembly 112; thereby, the forging stock 1 can be hung on the conveying mechanism 110 and kept in a normal state to move to the first station; in this way, the forging stock 1 received by the delivery mechanism 120 is necessarily in the normal state; further, avoiding the transfer mechanism 120 from changing the forward and reverse states of the forging material 1 during the process of delivering the forging material 1 can ensure that the extracting mechanism 130 receives the forging material 1 which is necessarily in the normal position.

In addition, the first conveying unit 111 and the second conveying unit 112 are arranged at intervals, so that the quantity of forging material 1 output by the conveying mechanism 110 can be limited; specifically, such that the first station is facing the space between the first conveying member 111 and the second conveying member 112, the conveying mechanism 110 can convey only one forging material 1 to the first station at a time.

The first conveying assembly 111 and the second conveying assembly 112 may adopt a structure of a conveying belt, a conveying roller, a conveying wheel, etc., and the present application is not limited to the specific configuration of the first conveying assembly 111 and the second conveying assembly 112, as long as they can cooperatively support and convey the forging material 1 forward.

Optionally, the feeding mechanism 120 also includes a first conveying component and a second conveying component that are disposed at intervals; in this way, the delivery mechanism 120 can also convey the forging stock 1 in a suspended state by supporting the boss 1a, thereby ensuring that the forging stock 1 is in the normal state.

In one embodiment, the delivery mechanism 120 includes: the receiving block 121 is provided with a receiving groove which can receive one forging material 1; the transfer drive 122 is used for driving the receiving block 121 to move between the first station and the second station.

In this embodiment, the receiving chute is located at the first station, and since the receiving chute can only receive one forging material 1, only one of the forging materials 1 conveyed to the first station can enter the receiving chute, and the forging materials 1 entering the receiving chute can obstruct the entry of other forging materials 1. Subsequently, when the material delivering driving piece 122 works and drives the material receiving block 121 to move, the material receiving block 121 moves to the second station with one forging material 1 in the material receiving groove; after the material taking mechanism 130 takes the forging material 1 in the material receiving groove, the material delivering driving piece 122 drives the material receiving block 121 to return; the receiving groove returns to the first station, and the opening of the receiving groove is opposite to the output end of the conveying mechanism 110, so that a new forging material 1 can enter the receiving groove.

The feeding driving member 122 may be a driving member such as an air cylinder or an electric cylinder.

To avoid that the conveying mechanism 110 continues to convey the forging material 1 to the first station during the movement of the receiving block 121, so as to influence the receiving block 121 to return to the first station, optionally, an interception door is arranged at the output end of the conveying mechanism 110; after one forging material 1 enters the material receiving groove, the blocking door blocks the output end of the conveying mechanism 110, so that other forging materials 1 are prevented from approaching the material delivering mechanism 120; after the material taking mechanism 130 takes away the forging material 1 and the material receiving block 121 returns to the first station, the output end of the door opening conveying mechanism 110 is intercepted, so that a new forging material 1 enters the material receiving groove.

Or, alternatively, the length of the connector block 121 is greater than the distance between the first and second stations.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the receiving block 121 is provided in an elongated block-like structure; the receiving block 121 is provided with a circular arc-shaped receiving groove near one side of the conveying mechanism 110, the receiving groove penetrates through the receiving block 121, a step is arranged in the receiving groove, and the step can support a boss 1a of the forging material 1 so that the receiving block 121 can support the forging material 1 and carry the forging material 1 to move. The second station is arranged above the first station; when the transfer driving member 122 drives the receiving block 121 to the second station, the first station is covered by the lower portion of the receiving block 121 without the receiving channel, thereby preventing the forging material 1 on the conveying mechanism 110 from entering the first station. After the receiving block 121 returns and the receiving groove returns to the first station, the opening of the receiving groove is opposite to the output end of the conveying mechanism 110, and the conveying mechanism 110 can input the forging material 1 into the receiving groove.

Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes: a first detecting mechanism 11 for detecting whether the forging stock 1 exists at the first station; and/or a second detecting mechanism 12 for detecting whether the forging stock 1 exists at the second station.

Wherein the first detection mechanism 11 and the second detection mechanism 12 are similar to the third detection mechanism 231.

For example, the first detecting mechanism 11 or the second detecting mechanism 12 employs a sensor, and the sensor can emit a detection signal (such as a photoelectric sensor emits an optical signal); when the forging stock 1 is at the first station or the second station, the forging stock 1 can shield the detection signal; when the first station or the second station is empty, the detection signal can pass through the station; thereby determining whether forging stock is present at the first station or the second station.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the delivery mechanism 120 includes a receiving block 121 and a delivery driving member 122, where a receiving groove is disposed on the receiving block 121, and the receiving groove is in a first station; the first detection mechanism 11 is arranged at the left side of the first station; after one forging stock 1 enters the receiving trough, the first detection mechanism 11 can detect the forging stock 1, the control system controls the feeding driving piece 122 to start according to the signal, and the feeding driving piece 122 drives the receiving block 121 to convey the forging stock 1 to the second station. Referring to fig. 2 in combination, the second detection mechanism 12 is suspended above the second station; after one forging material 1 enters the second station, the second detection mechanism 12 can detect the forging material 1, and the control system controls the material taking mechanism 130 to operate according to the signal so as to grasp the forging material 1; after the forging stock 1 is removed by the take-out mechanism 130, the delivery drive 122 drives the receiving block 121 back to the first station.

By providing the first detection mechanism 11 and the second detection mechanism 12, the empty operation of the feeding mechanism 120 or the extracting mechanism 130 can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the first detecting mechanism 11 and/or the second detecting mechanism 12 are also used to pre-detect the state of the forging stock 1. For example, the forge material 1 enters the first station in a normal state, and the detection end position of the first detection mechanism 11 is high, so that whether the forge material 1 is at the upper end can be detected, and whether the forge material 1 is normal or not can be determined; if the first detecting means 11 detects that the forging stock 1 at the first station is not in the normal state, the forging stock 1 is prevented from being allowed downstream. In this way, it is possible to ensure that all the forging materials 1 entering the downstream are in the normal state, and further, the downstream positioning adjustment device 200 can perform positioning adjustment on the forging materials 1.

Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a first limiting wall 141 disposed at two sides of the conveying mechanism 110, so that two or more forging materials 1 can be prevented from being conveyed side by side on the conveying mechanism 110.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the conveying mechanism 110 includes a first conveying component 111 and a second conveying component 112 that are disposed at intervals, where the first conveying component 111 and the second conveying component 112 are disposed between two first limiting walls 141; the forging stock 1 can only enter the conveying mechanism 110 one by one.

Further, the distance between the two first limiting walls 141 is made to be close to the width of the forging stock 1, and the two first limiting walls 141 cooperate and also can limit the position of the forging stock 1 on the conveying mechanism 110, and prevent the forging stock 1 from being displaced or inclined in the width direction during conveying. In this way, the conveying mechanism 110 can not only convey the forging stock 1 to the first station one by one, but also improve the conveying stability of the forging stock 1 and ensure that the forging stock 1 has a uniform conveying state and a uniform output position.

Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a second limiting wall 142 disposed at two sides of the feeding mechanism 120, for limiting a conveying direction of the feeding mechanism 120.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the delivery mechanism 120 is disposed between two second limiting walls 142, and a guiding channel is formed between the two second limiting walls 142, so that the delivery mechanism 120 can only transport the forging material 1 along the guiding slot, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of delivery of the forging material 1.

More specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the delivery mechanism 120 includes a receiving block 121 and a delivery driving member 122, where the receiving block 121 is slidably disposed between two second limiting walls 142, and a receiving slot is disposed on the right side of the receiving block 121; when the receiving groove is positioned at the first station, the opening of the receiving groove faces the conveying mechanism 110 and can receive one forging material 1; when the material delivering driving piece 122 drives the material receiving block 121 to move to the second station, one second limiting wall 142 arranged on the right side can cover the opening of the material receiving groove, so that the material receiving block 121 is prevented from being matched to limit the forging material 1.

Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a third limiting wall 143, disposed at the front side of the second station along the conveying direction of the feeding mechanism 120, for limiting the movement stroke of the feeding mechanism 120 so that the forging material 1 reaches the second station.

Referring specifically to fig. 3, in the illustrated embodiment, the lower end of the guide channel between the two second limiting walls 142 is abutted against the conveying mechanism 110, and the upper end is closed by the third limiting wall 143. The material conveying driving piece 122 drives the material receiving block 121 to move towards the second station, the material receiving block 121 can contact the third limiting wall 143, and the third limiting wall 143 can prevent the material receiving block 121 from continuing to move forward, so that the end point of the material receiving block 121 is limited; when the receiving block 121 is at the end point and cannot continue to advance, the receiving tank is at the second station; therefore, the receiving groove can accurately reach and stay at the second station, and the material taking mechanism 130 is convenient to take the forging material 1.

Optionally, a bumper strip is disposed on the inner walls of the first limiting wall 141, the second limiting wall 142 and/or the third limiting wall 143.

Wherein, the anti-collision strip can be made of nonmetallic materials such as rubber, plastic and the like. When the limiting wall is made of metal materials and the forging material 1 is made of metal materials, the anti-collision strip is arranged on the inner wall, close to the forging material 1, of the limiting wall, so that abrasion caused by mutual friction of the metal materials can be effectively prevented, and the use safety and the service life of equipment are improved.

The material taking lifting driving member 134 can drive the first translational driving member 132 to drive the material taking rotary driving member 135 and the material taking clamping jaw 131 to move along the vertical direction, so that the material taking clamping jaw 131 can descend, grasp or release the forging material 1, or the material taking clamping jaw 131 can ascend, keep away or overturn the forging material 1. The first translation driving member 132 can drive the rotation driving member 135 to drive the material taking clamping jaw 131 to move along the up-down direction, so that the material taking clamping jaw 131 is close to the second station to grab the forging material 1, or is far away from the second station to avoid, or is close to the material receiving station A to release the forging material 1. The rotary driving member 135 can drive the material taking clamping jaw 131 and the forging material 1 to turn over, so that the forging material 1 is converted from the normal state to the inverted state.

Optionally, the take-out jaw 131 includes two clamping blocks that can be moved toward and away from each other to facilitate clamping or releasing the forging material 1. The two clamping blocks are provided with accommodating grooves on the surfaces for contacting the forging material 1, and the two accommodating grooves are matched and can adapt to the shape of the forging material 1 so that the clamping jaw can stably clamp the forging material 1. The anti-skid blocks are arranged in the accommodating grooves and made of elastic materials, and when the forging material 1 is clamped, the anti-skid blocks can increase the clamping force of the clamping jaw on the forging material 1 through deformation.

Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a vibration plate 150, where the vibration plate 150 is used to vibration feed the conveying mechanism 110.

Referring specifically to FIG. 2, in the illustrated embodiment, a vibratory pan 150 is provided upstream of the conveyor mechanism 110. The prepared forging stock 1 is poured into the vibration plate 150, and the vibration plate 150 is capable of outputting the forging stock 1 one by vibration, and bringing the forging stock 1 into a normal state.

The vibration plate 150 is a prior art, and will not be described here.

In one embodiment, the positioning adjustment device 200 includes: the rotary table 210 can drive the forging stock 1 to move from the material receiving station A, the first positioning station B, the second positioning station C and the discharging station D in sequence through rotation; a third detecting mechanism 231 disposed at the first positioning station B; the fourth detection mechanism 232 is arranged at the second positioning station C; a first rotating mechanism 241 disposed at the first positioning station B; the second rotating mechanism 242 is arranged at the second positioning station C; wherein, the forging material 1 is provided with a positioning hole 1b; after the forging stock 1 reaches the first positioning station B, the first rotating mechanism 241 can drive the forging stock 1 to rotate, so that the third detecting mechanism 231 detects the positioning hole 1B; after the forge piece 1 reaches the second positioning station C, if the fourth detecting mechanism 232 cannot detect the positioning hole 1b, the second rotating mechanism 242 can drive the forge piece 1 to rotate.

By adding the second positioning station C and arranging the fourth detection mechanism 232 and the second rotation mechanism 242 corresponding to the second positioning station C, on one hand, the positioning detection after one-time adjustment can be performed; on the other hand, secondary adjustment can be performed.

Specifically, the forging stock 1 reaches the first positioning station B first, and the third detection mechanism 231 and the first rotation mechanism 241 cooperate with each other to complete one-time adjustment of the positioning hole 1B. Subsequently, the turntable 210 rotates, and the forging stock 1 is sent to the second positioning station C; if the positioning hole 1b is at the preset position, the fourth detection mechanism 232 can detect the positioning hole 1b after the forging stock 1 reaches the second positioning station C; at this time, the second rotating mechanism 242 does not need to work, and the forging stock 1 is kept in a once-adjusted state and waits for the turntable 210 to rotate again, so that the forging stock can be sent to the discharging station D for output. If the positioning hole 1b is not at the preset position, the fourth detection mechanism 232 cannot detect the positioning hole 1b after the forging stock 1 reaches the second positioning station C; at this time, the second rotation mechanism 242 acts on the forging stock 1 to cause the forging stock 1 to spin so that the fourth detection mechanism 232 detects the positioning hole 1b.

In this way, the operational reliability of the positioning adjustment device 200 can be ensured.

It is easy to understand that, normally, the forging stock 1 rotates one round, and the detection mechanism can certainly detect the positioning hole 1b.

In one embodiment, the first rotating mechanism 241 and the second rotating mechanism 242 can drive the forging material 1 to rotate continuously until the third detecting mechanism 231 or the fourth detecting mechanism 232 detects the positioning hole 1 b.

In another embodiment, during one adjustment, the directions in which the first rotating mechanism 241 and the second rotating mechanism 242 drive the forging material 1 to rotate are the same, and the maximum angles in which the first rotating mechanism 241 and the second rotating mechanism 242 drive the forging material 1 to rotate are 180 °.

In this embodiment, the first rotation mechanism 241 and the second rotation mechanism 242 cooperate to achieve 360 ° rotation of the forging stock 1.

Assuming that it takes n seconds for the first rotation mechanism 241 and the second rotation mechanism 242 to drive the forging material 1 to rotate 180 °, it takes 2n seconds for the first rotation mechanism 241 or the second rotation mechanism 242 to drive the forging material 1 to rotate once. If only the first positioning station B is provided, in order to ensure that the positioning hole 1B with an indefinite position is detected, the turntable 210 needs to stay for at least 2n seconds after each rotation, so as to ensure that the forging material 1 rotates for one circle. Meanwhile, the first positioning station B and the second positioning station C are arranged, and the first rotating mechanism 241 and the second rotating mechanism 242 can take over the work and cooperate to realize the rotation of the forging stock 1 for one circle, so that the turntable 210 only needs to stay for at least n seconds after each rotation. In this way, the working efficiency of the positioning adjustment device 200 can be effectively improved.

It is readily appreciated that a third positioning station, a fourth positioning station … …, etc. may also be provided, if desired. For example, three positioning stations are provided, each of which is provided with a rotation mechanism capable of rotating the forging stock 1 by at most 120 °. For another example, six positioning stations are provided, each of which is provided with a rotation mechanism capable of driving the forging stock 1 to rotate by 60 ° at most. Through addding the location station, many sets of rotary mechanism can cooperate, take over work, under the condition that satisfies forging material 1 rotation a week, the time that every turn location was rotated can all reduce to improve carousel 210's running frequency, improve the work efficiency of location adjusting device 200.

Optionally, at least four material stations are provided on the turntable 210, and any material station can receive one forging material 1; when one material station is in the material receiving station A, the other material station is in the first positioning station B, the other material station is in the second positioning station C, and the other material station is in the discharging station D.

Referring specifically to fig. 4a, in the illustrated embodiment, six material stations are provided on the turntable 210, the six material stations being equally spaced along a circumference.

With continued reference to fig. 4a, the turntable 210 rotates and is capable of passing through six stations equally spaced on the same circumferential path. The six stations are respectively a material receiving station A, a first positioning station B, a second positioning station C, a material discharging station D, a first preparation station E and a second and preparation station F along the clockwise direction.

With continued reference to fig. 4a, in operation, the dial 210 rotates clockwise. The material station at the material receiving station A can receive one forging material 1; the turntable 210 rotates, and the forging stock 1 is moved to a first positioning station B for first positioning adjustment; the turntable 210 rotates again, the forging stock 1 is moved to a second positioning station C, and second positioning adjustment is performed according to the requirement; the rotary table 210 rotates again, the forging stock 1 is moved to the discharging station D, and the forging stock 1 is discharged. Under normal conditions, when the material station moves to the first preparation station E or the second preparation station F through rotation, the material station is in an empty state until the material station is turned back to the material receiving station A, and then one forging material 1 is received again; if necessary, if the forging stock 1 is not adjusted to the preset state, the forging stock 1 can be circularly rotated by the rotary table 210 to go to the positioning station for readjustment.

With continued reference to fig. 4a, each material station is marked with a small circle of preset positions of the positioning holes 1 b. At the first positioning station B, the preset position of the positioning hole 1B is positioned at a horizontal right position; since the turntable 210 rotates and the material station moves circumferentially, the preset position of the positioning hole 1b is in the right-hand lower position at the second positioning station C.

Referring to fig. 4B in combination, in one embodiment, when the slug 1 reaches the first positioning station B, the positioning hole 1B in the slug 1 is actually at the lowest point. Since the first rotating mechanism 241 and the second rotating mechanism 242 can both drive the forging material 1 to rotate clockwise by 180 ° at most, the positioning hole 1b is actually at the highest point with reference to fig. 4c after the positioning adjustment is completed once.

With reference to fig. 4d, the rotary table 210 is rotated clockwise by 60 °, and the forging stock 1 is transferred to the second positioning station C; when the forging stock 1 is positioned at the second positioning station C, the positioning hole 1b on the forging stock 1 is actually positioned at the upper right position under the influence of revolution.

Referring to fig. 4e in combination, second rotation mechanism 242 drives forging stock 1 to rotate clockwise by 90 °, and pilot hole 1b is rotated to a preset position.

Further, a signal perforation 211 is arranged at any receiving station; the detection signals emitted from the third detection mechanism 231 and the fourth detection mechanism 232 can pass through the signal penetration hole 211.

Referring specifically to fig. 4, in the illustrated embodiment, a signal perforation 211 is provided at each material station; when the forging stock 1 is in a preset state, the positioning hole 1b is opposite to the signal perforation 211.

When the third detecting means 231 and the fourth detecting means 232 employ sensors capable of emitting signals, if the positioning hole 1b is right opposite to the signal perforation 211 and the signal perforation 211 is not blocked, the detected signals can pass through the signal perforation 211; if the positioning hole 1b is wrong with the signal through hole 211 and the signal through hole 211 is blocked, the detection signal cannot pass through the signal through hole 211. By determining the above two cases, it is possible to confirm whether or not the forging stock 1 is in the preset state.

Optionally, the first rotation mechanism 241 or the second rotation mechanism 242 includes: an adjusting jaw 241a for gripping the forging material 1; an adjusting lifting driving piece 241b, configured to drive the adjusting clamping jaw 241a to perform lifting movement; an adjustment rotation driving member 241c for driving the adjustment jaw 241a to rotate.

Wherein, the adjusting lifting driving piece 241b can adopt driving components such as an air cylinder, an electric cylinder and the like; the adjustment rotation driving piece 241c may be a driving member such as a motor or a rotary cylinder.

Referring specifically to FIG. 5, in the illustrated embodiment, in the non-positioning adjustment condition, the adjustment jaw 241a is suspended above the turntable 210; the adjusting jaw 241a is provided at the movable end of the adjusting lift driving member 241b, and the adjusting lift driving member 241b is provided at the movable end of the adjusting rotation driving member 241 c. When positioning adjustment is performed, the adjustment lifting driving piece 241b drives the adjustment clamping jaw 241a to descend so that the adjustment clamping jaw 241a can grasp the forging material 1; then, the adjusting rotation driving member 241c drives the adjusting lifting driving member 241b to rotate the adjusting jaw 241a, so that the detecting mechanism can find the positioning hole 1b.

Optionally, the positioning adjustment device 200 provided by the present application further includes a jig 220, where the jig 220 is disposed on the turntable 210 and is used for receiving the forging material 1.

It will be readily appreciated that rotary table 210 transfers forging stock 1 by rotating to a different station, and that forging stock 1 is easily displaced relative to rotary table 210 and even separated from rotary table 210 without fixing forging stock 1. Therefore, a jig 220 for fixing the forging stock 1 is provided on the turntable 210.

The jig 220 may employ a clamping jaw, which can hold the forging material 1 tightly, thereby maintaining the state of the forging material 1 and preventing the forging material 1 from moving or rotating relative to the turntable 210. Alternatively, the jig 220 may employ a suction cup or an electromagnet, which can attract the forging stock 1, thereby fixing the forging stock 1. Alternatively, jig 220 may employ a clamping groove having a shape adapted to that of forging material 1, and after forging material 1 is inserted into the clamping groove, the clamping groove can prevent forging material 1 from moving or rotating relative to turntable 210.

The specific configuration of the jig 220 is not limited by the present application.

In one embodiment, the jig 220 includes: a fixing block 221 fixedly provided on the turntable 210; a movable block 222 slidably disposed on the turntable 210; wherein, a first half groove 223 is arranged on one side of the fixed block 221 close to the movable block 222, and a second half groove 224 is arranged on one side of the movable block 222 close to the fixed block 221; the jig 220 includes an open state and a fixed state; when the jig 220 is in an open state, the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221, and the forging material 1 can be placed between the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224; when the jig 220 is in a fixed state, the movable block 222 is close to the fixed block 221, and the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 can clamp the forging material 1.

Referring specifically to fig. 6 or 7, in the illustrated embodiment, the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 are each provided as a circular arc groove so as to accommodate the shape of the forging stock 1; the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 are oppositely arranged and can be matched with the boss 1a for holding the forging material 1, so that the fixture 220 is not only beneficial to fixing the forging material 1, but also can avoid the fixture 220 from shielding the positioning hole 1b.

More specifically, when the jig 220 is at the receiving station a, the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221, and the material taking mechanism 130 can put an inverted forging material 1 into the jig 220; or, when the jig 220 is at the discharging station D, the movable block 222 is away from the fixed block 221, so that the forging material 1 can be taken out conveniently. When the jig 220 leaves the receiving station A and the discharging station D, the movable block 222 is close to the fixed block 221, the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 to be matched and clamped with the forging materials.

To achieve the relative movement of the movable block 222 and the fixed block 221, in an embodiment, the jig 220 further includes a jig driving member 250. For example, the jig driving member 250 adopts driving components such as an air cylinder and an electric cylinder, and the jig driving member 250 is connected with the movable block 222 and can directly drive the movable block 222 to be close to or far from the fixed block 221.

In another embodiment, the jig 220 further includes a fixed cam 212, and the turntable 210 can rotate relative to the fixed cam 212.

Referring specifically to fig. 6, in the illustrated embodiment, a fixed cam 212 is disposed on a turntable 210, and six sets of jigs 220 are disposed at intervals around the fixed cam 212. The movable block 222 is provided with a roller 213, and the roller 213 can roll along the wheel surface of the fixed cam 212. A spring is provided between the movable block 222 and the fixed block 221. When in use, the turntable 210 carries the jig 220 to rotate, and the roller 213 on the jig 220 moves along the fixed cam 212; when the jig 220 is at the material receiving station A or the material discharging station D, the wheel surface of the fixed cam 212 is farthest from the fixed block 221, and the spring can prop up the movable block 222, so that the jig 220 is in an open state; when the jig 220 is at the first positioning station B, the second positioning station C, the first preparatory station E, or the second and preparatory stations F, the wheel surface of the fixed cam 212 is close to the fixed block 221, and the jig 220 is in a fixed state due to the interaction force of the roller 213 against the fixed cam 212, the roller 213, and the fixed cam 212, which can compress the spring.

In one embodiment, the jig 220 further includes a push rod 225, where the push rod 225 is fixedly disposed on one of the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222; the other one of the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222 is provided with a guide hole; the push rod 225 is slidably disposed in the guide hole.

The push rod 225 and the guide hole cooperate to limit the direction of the relative movement of the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222, which is beneficial to the stability of the state change of the jig 220.

In a specific embodiment, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a push rod 225 is disposed on the movable block 222, and a guide hole is disposed on the fixed block 221; when the jig 220 is in a fixed state, part of the push rod 225 penetrates out from one end of the guide hole, which is far away from the movable block 222; the positioning adjustment device 200 further includes a jig driving member 250, where the jig driving member 250 is used to push the push rod 225 so as to facilitate the push rod 225 to move along the guiding hole.

Wherein, the jig driving member 250 may be disposed on the turntable 210.

For example, each jig 220 is provided with a jig driving member 250; the jig driving member 250 is connected with the push rod 225; when the forging material 1 needs to be received or released, the jig driving piece 250 drives the push rod 225 to move towards the movable block 222, so that the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221; when the forging material 1 needs to be clamped, the jig driving piece 250 drives the push rod 225 to return so that the movable block 222 approaches the fixed block 221; the push rod 225 moves along the guide hole, and the guide block can define a movement direction of the push rod 225.

Alternatively, the jig driving member 250 is disposed on the movement path of the jig 220; after the jig 220 rotates along with the turntable 210 and moves to approach the jig driving member 250, the jig driving member 250 can push the push rod 225, so that the jig 220 enters an open state; after the jig 220 is far away from the jig driving member 250, the jig 220 can be restored and kept in a fixed state.

For example, a jig driving member 250 is disposed outside the receiving station a and the discharging station D, respectively. At this time, when the jig 220 moves to the receiving station a or the discharging station D, the jig driving member 250 can be acted on to enter the open state.

For another example, a fixture driving member 250 is respectively arranged at the outer sides of the material receiving station A, the first positioning station B, the second positioning station C and the material discharging station D. At this time, when the jig 220 moves to the receiving station a or the discharging station D, the jig driving member 250 acts on the push rod 225 to push the movable block 222 open, so that the jig 220 enters an open state, so as to facilitate the insertion or extraction of the forging material 1. When the jig 220 moves to the first positioning station B or the second positioning station C, the jig driver 250 acts on the push rod 225 to bring the jig 220 into an open state, so that the first rotating mechanism 241 or the second rotating mechanism 242 acts on the forging material 1 to rotate the forging material 1.

As will be readily understood, only the jig driving members 250 are provided at the positions where the jigs 220 are required to be in the open state, when the number of jigs 220 on the turntable 210 is large, the number of the jig driving members 250 can be reduced, thereby reducing the equipment cost; the placement of the jig drivers 250 outside the turntable 210 also enables the optimization of the equipment layout on the turntable 210.

When the jig driving member 250 is disposed outside the turntable 210, in order to ensure that the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222 have a stable fixed state, optionally, magnets are disposed on the fixed block 221 and/or the movable block 222; when the push rod 225 is not stressed, the magnet can adsorb the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222; when the jig driving member 250 pushes the push rod 225, the pushing force can overcome the attraction force of the magnet, so that the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221.

Alternatively, a spring is provided between the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222; when the jig driving member 250 pushes the push rod 225 so that the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221, the spring is stretched; after the push rod 225 is unstressed, the spring is restored and can pull the movable block 222 closer to the fixed block 221.

After the jig 220 moves to the station provided with the jig driving member 250, the jig driving member 250 can push the push rod 225 to the reset fixing block 226; as the movable block 222 moves away from the fixed block 221, the elastic member 227 is compressed; after the insertion, removal or rotation of the forging material 1 is completed, the jig driving part 250 is restored, the push rod 225 is removed from the external force, the elastic part 227 is restored, and the elastic force generated by the restoration pushes the movable block 222 to be close to the fixed block 221, so that the jig 220 is conveniently brought into and maintained in a fixed state.

With continued reference to fig. 7 and 8, the reset fixing block 226 and the fixing block 221 are integrally formed; a sliding table is arranged between the reset fixed block 226 and the fixed block 221; the movable block 222 is slidably disposed in the slide table.

Optionally, the reset fixing block 226 is provided with a limiting hole, one end of the push rod 225 is slidably arranged in the guiding hole, and the other end is slidably arranged in the limiting hole; the elastic member 227 is sleeved on the push rod 225. At this time, the push rod 225 may penetrate through the movable block 222, and may also include two rod portions, one of which is disposed at the front and slidably connected to the guide hole, and the other of which is disposed at the rear and connected to the limit hole. The setting of spacing hole can further limit the direction of motion of movable block 222, simultaneously, makes elastic component 227 cover establish on push rod 225, and the deformation direction of elastic component 227 can also be limited to push rod 225, is favorable to the stability of tool 220 state change.

The elastic member 227 may be made of an elastic material such as rubber or plastic, or an elastic member such as a spring, as long as the elastic member has the characteristics of being deformed by force and recovering.

Alternatively, a side of the fixed block 221 adjacent to the movable block 222 is provided in a stepped shape; the movable block 222 is arranged in a reverse step shape on one side close to the fixed block 221; the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222 can be attached by a step structure.

Referring specifically to fig. 8, in the illustrated embodiment, a protrusion is provided at a lower portion of a side of the fixed block 221 facing the movable block 222, and a protrusion is provided at an upper portion of a side of the movable block 222 facing the fixed block 221; when the jig 220 is in a fixed state, the protruding blocks of the fixed block 221 and the movable block 222 are mutually inserted; when the push rod 225 is pushed, the movable block 222 can move against the fixed block 221; the step structure can further define the relative position and the relative movement direction of the movable block 222 and the fixed block 221, which is beneficial to stability of the jig 220.

Optionally, a limit groove 221a is further provided on the step surface of the fixing block 221; the forging material 1 comprises a boss 1a and an end block 1c, wherein the end block 1c is arranged at one end of the boss 1a, and the outer diameter of the end block 1c is smaller than the outer diameter of the boss 1a; when the jig 220 receives the forging stock 1, the end block 1c can be inserted into the limit groove 221a, and the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 can clamp the boss 1a.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 7 in combination, in the illustrated embodiment, a step of the fixing block 221 is provided with a limit groove 221a with a smaller aperture; after the material taking mechanism 130 inverts the forging material 1, the end block 1c faces downward; when the jig 220 receives the forging stock 1 in the inverted state, the movable block 222 is far away from the fixed block 221, and the limit groove 221a is exposed between the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224, and the end block 1c can be inserted into the limit groove 221a; since the outer diameter of the boss 1a is larger than the groove diameter of the limit groove 221a, after the end block 1c is inserted into the limit groove 221a, the step of the fixing block 221 can support the boss 1a; after the movable block 222 approaches the fixed block 221, the first half groove 223 and the second half groove 224 can clamp the boss 1a.

Referring specifically to fig. 2 or 9, in the illustrated embodiment, transfer device 300 interfaces with discharge station D, is configured to receive positionally adjusted forging stock 1 from discharge station D, and transfers forging stock 1 to forging machine 400. The transfer device 300 can match the beats of the positioning adjustment device 200 and the forging machine 400 so as to facilitate continuous, stable and efficient operation of the equipment.

In addition, when forging machine 400 is a factory original equipment or an outsource, parameters such as the volume, height, and the like of feeding device 100 and positioning adjustment device 200, which are not provided according to the configuration of forging material 1, do not generally match the feeding needs of forging machine 400.

Specifically, the fifth detection mechanism 361 is similar to the third detection mechanism 231. When the positioning hole 1b is opposite to the auxiliary positioning hole, the detection signal sent by the fifth detection mechanism 361 is not blocked, so that the forging material 1 is confirmed to be in a preset state; when the detection signal sent by the fifth detection mechanism 361 cannot pass through the positioning hole 1b and is blocked, it can be confirmed that the forging material 1 is not in the preset state, cannot be continuously conveyed, and needs to be subjected to positioning adjustment again.
