Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an automated assembly system and an assembly method for producing a driver lead screw. Background Art
[0002] The existing assembly of the drive screw is basically done purely manually. The drive screw is a key component of the drive. There are too many human interference factors in pure manual assembly, and it is difficult to ensure the stability of the quality of the screw assembly and the overall performance of the drive. The screw assembly includes: pre-assembly of gears, inserts, bearings and sliders; thread glue application of screws or nuts (manual glue application makes it difficult to control the amount and uniformity of thread glue); tightening of screws or nuts (the existing method uses a handheld electric screwdriver for tightening, which makes it difficult to control the rotation speed and tightening torque); grease application on gears (nowadays, oiling is mostly done with a brush, which makes it difficult to ensure the grease application effect); grease application on the screw (nowadays, oiling is mostly done with a dispensing valve, and the grease cannot completely reach the screw groove, reducing the lubrication effect and causing some grease waste); and screwing in the slider (nowadays, a handheld screw is mostly used, and an auxiliary motor is used to screw in the slider. This method has certain safety hazards and it is difficult to control the uniform height of the slider). Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an automatic assembly system for the production of a driver screw, including a multifunctional automatic assembly system for applying thread glue to screws or nuts, tightening screws or nuts, applying grease to gears, applying grease to screws, screwing in sliders, etc. To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an automatic assembly system for the production of a driver screw, used to assemble screw parts and / or slider parts on screw parts pre-installed with nut parts and / or gear parts; it includes a frame assembly. As a further improvement of the above technical solution: the frame assembly is provided with: a rotating workstation disk, which is provided on the frame assembly and driven to rotate by a motor; the rotating workstation disk is provided with an input height setting station for receiving the vertically fed screw parts and ensuring that the upper height of the screw parts of different lengths is limited to a set range, a thread glue dispensing station for applying thread glue on the inner threaded part of the nut of the screw part, an inspection station with an inspection camera for detecting the upper height of the screw part or the dispensing quality, a fastening station for assembling the screw part to the nut, a gear greasing station for applying grease to the meshing teeth of the gear part, a screw greasing station for applying grease to the external threaded part of the screw, a slider screwing-in station for installing the slider part into the external thread of the screw part and / or an output station for waiting for an external manipulator to take out the assembled screw part and feed in the screw part to be assembled.
[0004] The present invention adopts a turntable structure in conjunction with a pneumatic clamping mechanism to complete the conveying of the material of the screw assembly. The screw is pre-installed and placed in place. For screw assemblies of different lengths, there is a special height-fixing structure to ensure that the screw assembly is at the same height after clamping, so as to realize other processes. The thread glue dispensing structure of the nut (also called the nut) is introduced: After the screw pre-installed assembly is delivered to the place through the turntable mechanism, the pneumatic mechanism assists the flow glue dispensing valve to complete the thread glue dispensing and ensure the amount of thread glue used. According to different screws and nuts, the program is called to complete the relevant glue dispensing requirements. As an equivalent, it can be that the screw has an external screw thread, and it is equivalent to loading and installing the nut (nut). After the auxiliary clamping mechanism clamps the screw assembly, the fastening mechanism moves down into place according to the product and completes the fastening of the screw screw or nut. The fastening mechanism can ensure a stable fastening torque and remind whether it is fastened in place. The front end of the grease-applying structure adopts a contoured tube brush in conjunction with the servo rotation to brush the grease into the gear teeth to ensure that the grease achieves the optimal lubrication effect. The front end of the lead screw grease coating structure adopts a profiling mechanism, which scrapes the grease into the lead screw groove by moving up and down to ensure that the grease achieves the best lubrication effect. The slider feeding structure temporarily stores part of the slider material, and the material error structure errors the slider material individually. The slider is placed in the screw-in mechanism sleeve through the conveying mechanism, and the slider is screwed into the mechanism according to the different sizes of the lead screw to achieve a uniform height. The present invention has a reasonable design, low cost, strong and durable, safe and reliable, simple operation, time-saving and labor-saving, money-saving, compact structure and convenient use.
