Description

The utility model relates to means for controlling the parameters of cylindrical rolling bodies and can be used in railway transport in the process of repairing wheel pairs for automatic measurement of the geometric parameters of bearing rollers, their sorting and picking by size groups.

As the closest analogue of the claimed technical solution, a device for measuring, sorting and forming sets of rollers is described, described in RF patent No. 45655, IPC 7 BC 5/08, 2005. The known device contains a loading and receiving device, a conveyor, measuring instruments for the geometric parameters of the rollers , a module for loading, storing and automatically dispensing clips, a sorting device, a backup tray and a computer.

A disadvantage of the known device is that it implements a sequential process of completing standard sized groups of bearing rollers (i.e., one group, second group, etc.). This leads to significant time costs when completing a large number of size groups of rollers and reduces the performance of the device. In addition, in the known device it is impossible to organize the storage of a large number of rollers, since the module for loading, storing and automatically dispensing rollers contains cells designed to store only one roller.

These disadvantages reduce the performance of the known device.

The problem solved by the utility model is to increase the productivity of a device for measuring, sorting and forming sets of rollers.

This problem is solved by the fact that in the device for measuring, sorting and forming sets of rollers containing means for measuring the geometric parameters of the rollers, means for transporting the rollers to the working positions, equipped with drives, a module for loading, storing and automatically dispensing rollers, and a computer associated with them, and the loading device, the module for loading, storing and automatically dispensing rollers contains a loading device, trays for storing the rollers, organized in a matrix of dimension M × N, where M is the number of vertical columns, and N is the number of horizontal rows and a roller unloading device, while the loading device contains (M × N) rotary shutters located opposite each tray configured to store a set of rollers, and the transportation means contain conveyors equipped with (M + 1) working positions for moving the rollers and located with the possibility of transferring the rollers to the module loading device and receiving the rollers from the module roller unloading device.

In an embodiment of the technical solution, the loading device comprises M shafts opposite the vertical columns of the tray array, each shaft having N windows opposite N rows of the tray array, and the rotary shutters are located between the windows and the module trays.

In an embodiment of the technical solution, the device for unloading the rollers of the loading module, storage and automatic dispensing of rollers contains devices for piece delivery of rollers, rotary shutters and shafts, while the shafts are installed opposite the vertical columns of the matrix of trays, and the devices for piece delivery of rollers and rotary shutters are located opposite each tray.

In an embodiment of the technical solution, the rotary shutters of the loading and unloading devices and the piece-giving device of the rollers are connected to the computer.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 schematically depicts the inventive device, figure 2 illustrates the implementation of the loading mechanism in the module loading, storage and automatic delivery of rollers.

A device for measuring, sorting and forming sets of rollers includes a loading device 1, a first conveyor 2, on which the position 3 of the direction of the rollers is sequentially located on the measuring unit 4, containing means for measuring the geometric parameters of the rollers, made, for example, in the form of several contact linear displacement sensors 5 , for example, of the LIR-15 type, and the overload position 6 from conveyor 2 to the second conveyor 7, with position 6 being common for conveyor 2 and conveyor 7. Next to conveyor 7 is a mode For loading, storage and automatic dispensing of rollers 8, consisting of a loading mechanism, trays 9 for storing the rollers, and an unloading mechanism. The trays 9 for storing the rollers are organized in an M × N matrix, where M is the number of vertical columns and N is the number of horizontal rows, with each tray 9 being able to store a set of rollers. Thus, the total number of trays 9 in module 8 is N × M. In total, on conveyor 7 (M + 1) working positions 10 are located.

The mechanism for loading rollers into trays 9 in module 8 includes M shafts 11 located opposite each Mth column of the matrix of trays, and (M × N) rotary shutters 12. The shaft 11 is a trough with the so-called the louvre arrangement of the shelves 13, mounted on the walls of the gutter, to prevent direct passage of the roller through the gutter. Windows 14 are made in the shaft 11 opposite each tray 9. The rotary shutters 12 are placed between the windows 14 and the trays 9. The unloading mechanism of the module 8 is located on the opposite side with respect to the loading mechanism and consists of single-unit delivery of rollers 15 from the trays 9, rotary shutters 16 and shafts 17, the design of which is similar to the construction of the shafts 11. The shafts 17, as well as the shafts 11, are installed opposite each Mth column of the matrix of trays, and contain windows and shelves, and devices for piece delivery of parts 15 and rotary shutters 16 are located wife in front of each tray 9.

Unloading of parts from module 8 is carried out on the third conveyor 18. The conveyor 18 is equipped with working positions 19, the total number of which is equal (M + 1), and an unloading device 20 is installed at the output end of the conveyor 18. Conveyors 2, 7 and 18 act as means of transporting the rollers according to their working positions and are step by step. All mechanical movements in the inventive device are carried out using pneumatic drives (not shown in FIG.).

The operation of the claimed device is controlled by a computer 21 connected to a drive control unit 22, to which, in turn, are connected the drives of conveyors 2, 7 and 18, shutters 12 and 16, devices for piece delivery of parts 15. The outputs 21 are also connected to the computer 21 linear displacement sensors 5.

A device for measuring, sorting and forming sets of rollers works as follows. The bearing rollers are manually loaded into the cartridge 23, which is installed in the loading device 1 and then fed to the conveyor 2. The roller 24 is moved by the conveyor 2 to position 3 and then to the measurement unit 4, where the sensors 5 measure the roller parameters - length, average diameter parts of the roller, taper, ellipticity and barrel-shaped. Data on the parameters of the roller are transmitted to the computer 21.

After passing the measurement operation, the roller 24 returns to position 3 and then moves along the conveyor 2 to position 6, where it is reloaded onto the conveyor 7. From positions 10, the rollers enter the shafts 11 and move along them from top to bottom, colliding with shelves 13. At the command computer 21, the shutter 12, located at the intersection of the Mth column and the Nth row (the choice of numbers M and N is set by the computer 21), rotates, enters through the window 14 into the shaft 11 towards one of the shelves 13, and the roller 24 along the shutter 12 slides into the tray 9 selected by computer 21.

Unloading of the rollers 24 from the trays 9 is carried out using the devices for piece delivery of parts 15, rotary shutters 16 and shafts 17. At the commands of the computer 21, the devices for the piece delivery of parts 15 located in the Mth column of the tray matrix are opened, and the shutters 16 located in N- In a row, they turn, opening the windows made in the shafts 17. As a result, the roller located at the intersection of the Mth column and the Nth row rolls from the tray 9 into the shaft 17, goes down from top to bottom, gets to position 19 of conveyor 18 and ultimately fill devices discharge 20 and then enters into the cassette 23.

The organization of the module loading, storage and automatic dispensing of rollers in the inventive device can significantly improve the performance of the device by reducing the time of picking rollers of various size groups.
