[0043] like Figure 1As shown, a photoelectric sensor 760 is provided on the frame at one end of the pushing electric cylinder and at one side of the receiving rod. The photoelectric sensor senses whether there is a piston ring at a preset position on the receiving rod. When the pushing plate pushes the piston ring onto the receiving rod, when the photoelectric sensor senses the piston ring at the preset position of the receiving rod, the pushing cylinder stops.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the material dividing device includes a material dividing frame fixedly connected to the frame, a material dividing electric cylinder is connected to the material dividing frame above the material receiving rod and parallel to the length direction of the material receiving rod, a connecting block is connected to the movable end of the material dividing electric cylinder, a clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the connecting block, the moving direction of the movable end of the clamping cylinder is perpendicular to the length direction of the material receiving rod, and two vertically arranged cutting rods are respectively fixedly connected to the two fingers of the clamping cylinder, the material receiving rod is located between the two cutting rods, and the clamping cylinder can move the two cutting rods toward the material receiving rod so that the piston ring on the material receiving rod is cut into two parts, and then under the action of the material dividing electric cylinder, the cutting rod moves along the length direction of the material receiving rod, thereby prompting a part of the cut piston ring to continue to move along the material receiving rod toward the feeding device until the cut part of the piston ring is pushed to the top of the feeding device. During use, when the photoelectric sensor senses the piston ring and the pushing cylinder stops, the clamping cylinder can be started to cut the piston ring.

[0046] Among them, the clamping assembly is fixed to the movable end of the lifting assembly, the rotating assembly is connected to the clamping assembly, the lifting assembly is fixed to the movable end of the driving assembly, the driving assembly is fixed to the frame table, and the driving direction of the driving assembly is parallel to the material receiving rod.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder, and a vertical connecting block is connected to each of the two movable ends of the clamping cylinder. A clamping rod is connected to the inner side of each vertical connecting block. The clamping rods connected to the two vertical connecting blocks are opposite to each other, so that the clamping rods move relative to each other through the relative movement of the two movable ends of the clamping cylinder, thereby clamping the piston ring; wherein, as Figure 7 As shown, the two clamping rods both adopt an L-shaped structure, and the bottom rods of the two clamping rods are connected by an inlay manner, one of the clamping rods is set as clamping rod one 813a, and the other is set as clamping rod two 813b; the bottom edge of the bottom rod of the clamping rod one 813a is provided with an inlay groove 8131 arranged along the length direction of the bottom rod, and the size of the bottom rod of the clamping rod two 813b is preferably slightly smaller than or equal to the size of the inlay groove, so that during the clamping process, the bottom rod of the clamping rod two can be inserted into the inlay groove along the length direction of the inlay groove, and can move back and forth under the action of the clamping cylinder.

[0048] At the same time, a plastic pad is fixedly connected to the mutually opposite surfaces of the two clamping rods to protect the piston ring from being damaged.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly is a lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the driving assembly, and the clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder through a vertically arranged connecting plate, so that the driving of the lifting cylinder can make the clamping cylinder move back and forth in the vertical direction, and then make the clamping rod move back and forth in the vertical direction. When the dividing device pushes the cut piston ring to the top of the clamping assembly, the lifting cylinder is started, and the clamping rod moves upward to the two sides of the piston ring. The clamping cylinder is started, so that the two clamping rods move toward the piston ring respectively to complete the clamping of the piston ring.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a further technical solution of the present invention is that when the present invention is provided with the rotating component, the rotating component includes a reducer fixedly connected to the outer side of one of the vertical connecting blocks, and a servo motor connected to the reducer, wherein the vertical connecting block connected to the reducer has a cavity structure, in which a synchronous belt structure connected to the reducer is provided, the synchronous belt structure includes a driving wheel located at the lower end of the vertical connecting block and connected to the reducer, a synchronous belt connected to the driving wheel, and a driven wheel located at the upper end of the vertical connecting block and connected to the synchronous belt, the driven wheel is connected to a laterally arranged driving shaft, and at this time, one end of the driving shaft is fixedly connected to clamping rod one; at the same time, a cavity structure is also provided in the other vertical connecting block, a bearing is connected in the cavity, and a driven shaft extending outside the vertical connecting block is movably connected in the bearing, and at this time, one end of the driven shaft is fixedly connected to clamping rod two.

[0051] Therefore, through the above structure, when the clamping assembly clamps the piston ring, the bottom rod of the clamping rod 2 is inserted into the engaging groove of the clamping rod 1 to realize the clamping function, and then under the action of the driving assembly, the clamping assembly drives the clamped piston ring to move to the bottom of the printing head of the pad printing machine, and the printing head of the pad printing machine moves down to perform pad printing on a part of the outer circumference of the piston ring. After completion, the servo motor starts, prompting the active shaft to drive the clamping rod 1 connected to it to rotate. At this time, the two clamping rods are synchronously driven with the clamping rod 2 of the driven shaft due to the engaging relationship, thereby realizing the rotation of the two clamping rods and driving the piston ring. After setting the rotation angle, the pad printing machine can perform pad printing on other parts of the outer circumference of the piston ring.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly includes a driving cylinder 1 fixedly connected to the frame table, and a driving cylinder 2 is connected to the movable end of the driving cylinder 1 through a connecting block. The moving directions of the driving cylinder 1 and the driving cylinder 2 are consistent with the length direction of the material receiving rod. A connecting plate arranged laterally is fixedly connected to the driving cylinder 2. A pair of guide rails are fixedly connected to the frame on both sides of the driving cylinder 1, and the guide rails are parallel to the moving direction of the driving cylinder 1. A slider is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the connecting plate, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, so that the connecting plate can slide back and forth along the guide rail under the action of the driving cylinder 1 or the driving cylinder 2, wherein the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, so that the driving assembly prompts the lifting cylinder to drive the clamping assembly to move back and forth along the guide rail. As shown Figure 2 As shown, a buffer seat 836 for limiting the movement of the driving cylinder 1 and the driving cylinder 2 is also provided on the frame, and the connection position of the buffer seat is set according to the stroke.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a discharge rod 900 is provided on the frame at one end of the driving assembly, and the discharge rod is connected to the frame through a discharge rod support frame. The discharge rod and the receiving rod are on the same horizontal line, and the stroke of the driving cylinder 1 and the driving cylinder 2 are set. When the driving cylinder 1 is started, the clamping assembly can be prompted to move from the clamping position of the clamping assembly to below the printing head of the pad printing machine along the guide rail. After the pad printing is completed, the driving cylinder 2 is started to move the clamping assembly from the pad printing position to the discharge position, so that the piston ring on the clamping assembly is hung on the discharge rod. At this time, the clamping cylinder prompts the two clamping rods to move back and release the piston ring. The lifting cylinder is started to move the clamping assembly downward, and the driving cylinder 1 and the driving cylinder 2 are started to restore the clamping assembly to the initial position, waiting for the next clamping, and this cycle is repeated.

After completion, the driving cylinder is started to make the clamping rod drive the piston ring to move below the printing head of the pad printing machine, and the printing head of the pad printing machine moves down to spray the color code on the piston ring. After completion here, the clamping rod can also be rotated by starting the rotating assembly to rotate the piston ring, so as to facilitate spraying other positions on the outer circumference of the piston ring. After spraying is completed, the driving cylinder is started to make the clamping rod drive the piston ring to move toward the unloading rod until the piston ring is hung on the unloading rod. The driving cylinder, the driving cylinder, the lifting cylinder, and the clamping cylinder all return to their positions, waiting for the next operation, and this cycle is repeated.
