Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of textile machinery, and in particular relates to a spindle-hook combination feeding device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the assembly of the JWD6811ES series spindle base assemblies, the installation of the hook assembly is a critical process, involving the accuracy of the hook assembly's loading and installation into the hook slot of the spindle base assembly. Because the hook assembly is an irregularly shaped and freely movable part, the hook assembly must be fed in a consistent direction and accurately positioned before this assembly process. The width of the hook arm of the hook assembly and the width of the hook slot of the spindle base assembly have large dimensional tolerances. However, during installation, the hook assembly may not be properly positioned or fit into the hook slot of the spindle base assembly. This can also occur during manual installation, making installation on an automated assembly line even more difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ingot hook connector feeding device and method to realize the installation action between the ingot hook connector and the ingot hook groove of the ingot base connector, ensuring that the ingot hook connector can be smoothly placed in the ingot hook groove of the ingot base connector.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a feeding device for an ingot hook combiner, which includes an ingot hook combiner direct vibration feeding track, an ingot hook combiner, a clamping cylinder, a rotating cylinder, a translation cylinder, a platform, an optical fiber sensor, a first clamping fixture, an ingot base combiner, a second clamping fixture, a lifting cylinder, and a circular turntable. The ingot hook combiner is arranged on the ingot hook combiner direct vibration feeding track, the clamping cylinder grabs the ingot hook combiner through a clamping claw, the clamping cylinder is connected to the rotating cylinder, the optical fiber sensor is arranged on the platform, and the translation cylinder that can be raised and lowered and translated is located above the platform. The ingot base combiner is connected to the first clamping fixture, and the ingot base combiner can be movably arranged on the second clamping fixture. The first clamping fixture is arranged on the circular turntable, the second clamping fixture is arranged on the circular turntable, and a lifting cylinder is arranged under the first clamping fixture.

[0005] A method for feeding an ingot-hook combination comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step S1: After the end face runout of the spindle base assembly is measured, the Mitsubishi six-axis manipulator places the spindle base assembly on a circular turntable, and the circular turntable rotates to the spindle hook assembly station;

[0007] Step S2: the ingot hook assembly vibrates the feeding track to the feeding position at the front end of the track;

[0008] Step S3: The clamping cylinder clamps the ingot hook assembly through the jaws, and the ingot hook assembly is flipped onto the platform by the rotating cylinder.

[0009] Step S4: The fiber optic sensor detects the ingot hook assembly. The translation cylinder descends and clamps the ingot hook assembly, and the jaws of the clamping cylinder are released. The translation cylinder ascends and translates above the ingot hook assembly station, and the rotating cylinder returns to the front end of the linear vibratory feeding track of the ingot hook assembly.

[0010] Step S5: The lifting cylinder extends, the first clamping tooling opens, the translation cylinder descends, and the ingot hook assembly is placed into the ingot hook groove of the ingot seat assembly. The lifting cylinder retracts, the first clamping tooling closes, the jaws of the translation cylinder are released and it ascends back to the original position, ensuring that the ingot hook assembly can be smoothly placed into the ingot hook groove of the ingot seat assembly.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides an ingot hook assembly feeding device and method, which are involved in the automatic assembly of the ingot seat assembly in the JWD6811ES series, realizing the installation action between the ingot hook assembly and the ingot hook groove of the ingot seat assembly, and ensuring that the ingot hook assembly can be smoothly placed into the ingot hook groove of the ingot seat assembly.
