For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic assembly device for cylindrical roller bearing rolling elements, including a frame (not shown in the figure) and an assembly mold provided on the frame. The assembly mold includes a base 1 and an outer ring support block group 2 that cooperate with each other;

[0030] The base 1 is at least provided with a lower support table 11 and a boss 12 provided on the lower support table 11. A plurality of guide grooves 121 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the boss 12, and the guide grooves 121 are used to guide the cylindrical rollers 32 into the raceway of the bearing outer ring 31;

[0031] The outer ring support block group 2 has a spliced state and a separated state;

[0032] In the spliced state, as Figures 3 to 6 shown, the outer ring support block group 2 is spliced and arranged on the lower support table 11 of the base 1, and is concentrically located outside the boss 12. It forms an upper support table 21, and a cavity is formed between its periphery and the outer periphery of the boss 12 for accommodating and supporting the bearing outer ring 31;

[0033] In the separated state, as Figures 7 to 9As shown, the outer ring support block group 2 is separated from between the lower support platform 11 and the lower end face of the bearing outer ring 31. The bearing outer ring 31 and the cylindrical rollers 32 move downward simultaneously under the action of gravity. The lower end face of the bearing outer ring 31 cooperates with the lower support platform 11, while the cylindrical rollers 32 are assembled in the raceway under the combined action of the guide groove 121 and the raceway of the bearing outer ring 31; at this time, as Figure 10 , Figure 11 shown, a cage 33 acting on the cylindrical rollers 32 is inserted inside the bearing outer ring 31, enabling the bearing outer ring 31, the cage 33, and the cylindrical rollers 32 to form an integral kit with a relative assembly relationship, as Figure 12 , Figure 13 shown.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the mutual cooperation between the outer ring support block group and the base, when the outer ring support block group is switched from the spliced state to the separated state, the cylindrical rollers can be assembled in the raceway under the combined action of the guide groove and the raceway of the bearing outer ring, enabling the cylindrical rollers to be conveniently, quickly, and efficiently assembled in the raceway of the bearing outer ring.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figure 2 shown, a positioning platform 13 is further provided on the base 1 between the lower support platform 11 and the convex platform 12. The lower support platform 11, the positioning platform 13, and the convex platform 12 are concentrically arranged, and the outer diameters gradually decrease. With a simple structure, when the outer ring support block group 2 is in the separated state, the positioning platform 13 can jointly support the cylindrical rollers 32 with the rib of the bearing outer ring 31, as Figure 9 shown; at the same time, when the outer ring support block group 2 is in the spliced state, the positioning platform 13 can perform concentric auxiliary positioning on the outer ring support block group 2.

[0036] Still further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, concave cavities 131 corresponding one-to-one to the guide grooves 121 are provided on the upper surface of the positioning platform 13, which are used to limit the cylindrical rollers 32 when the cylindrical rollers 32 are assembled in the raceway under the combined action of the guide grooves 121 and the raceway of the bearing outer ring 31, making the cylindrical rollers 32 evenly spaced and preventing the cylindrical rollers 32 from moving, which may affect the subsequent insertion of the cage 33.

[0037] Also further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figure 3 shown, after the outer ring support block group 2 is spliced, its upper support platform 21 is flush with the bottom surface of the concave cavity 131. This can ensure that the cylindrical rollers 32 are stably positioned in the concave cavity 131.

[0038] Even further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, after the outer ring support block groups 2 are spliced together, an upper centering flange 22 that fits with the outer peripheral surface of the bearing outer ring 31 extends upward around the upper support platform 21 thereof. A cavity for accommodating a part of the bearing outer ring 31 is formed between the upper centering flange 22 and the outer periphery of the boss 12. The structure is simple. Through the cooperation between the upper centering flange 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the bearing outer ring 31, the bearing outer ring 31 can be concentrically arranged with the boss 12.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment rather than a limitation of the present invention, as Figure 2 、 Figure 6 shown, after the outer ring support block groups 2 are spliced together, a lower centering flange 23 that fits with the outer peripheral surface of the lower support platform 11 of the base extends downward around the upper support platform 21 thereof. The concentric arrangement of the outer ring support block group 2 and the boss 12 can be achieved through the cooperation between the lower centering flange 23 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower support platform 11.

[0040] Still further, as a preferred embodiment rather than a limitation of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, after the outer ring support block groups 2 are spliced together, the formed upper support platform 21 is annular. The upper support platform 21 is concentrically sleeved outside the positioning platform 13 of the base 1 and supports the lower end surface of the bearing outer ring 31. The structure is simple. The outer ring support block group 2 can also be concentrically arranged with the boss 12 through the cooperation between the inner circumferential edge of the upper support platform 21 and the outer periphery of the positioning platform 13.

[0041] Also further, as a preferred embodiment rather than a limitation of the present invention, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the outer ring support block group 2 at least includes two support blocks that can be spliced or separated from each other. Upper support platforms 21 and upper centering flanges 22 are respectively provided on each support block. The structure is simple. The outer ring support block group 2 can be freely and conveniently switched between the spliced state and the separated state. In this embodiment, the outer ring support block group 2 is not limited to Figure 2 the two symmetric support blocks shown, and can also be three or four support blocks evenly distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0042] Still further, as a preferred embodiment rather than a limitation of the present invention, as Figure 15 shown, for the support blocks that can be spliced or separated from each other to form the outer ring support block group 2, only upper support platforms 21 and upper centering flanges 22 can be provided on each support block. This structure can also enable the outer ring support block group 2 to be freely and conveniently switched between the spliced state and the separated state.

[0043] Still further, as a preferred embodiment rather than a limitation of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the boss 12 is a cylindrical boss, and the guide groove 121 extends obliquely downward from the top surface of the boss 12 to the concave cavity 131. The structure is simple and can conveniently guide the cylindrical rollers 32.

[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the guiding grooves 121 are circumferentially and evenly distributed on the boss 12. The structure is simple and can conveniently guide the cylindrical rollers 32.

[0045] Still further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention rather than a limitation, as Figure 6 shown, the included angle α between the axis of the guiding groove 121 and the horizontal plane is greater than 90°, and particularly can be between 95° and 120°. The structure is simple and can conveniently guide the cylindrical rollers 32.

[0046] As described above, one or more embodiments are provided in combination with specific contents, and it is not determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is only limited to these descriptions. Any method, structure, etc. that is similar or identical to the present invention, or any technical deduction or replacement made under the premise of the inventive concept of the present invention, should be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
