[0045] E. The flipping mechanism 51 flips the semi-finished product to prepare for subsequent oiling; the blanking mechanism 6 continues to drive the flipped semi-finished product to the oiling mechanism;

[0046] F. After the oiling mechanism 52 oils the semi-finished product, the finished product is obtained; the blanking mechanism 6 continues to drive the finished product to the oiling detection mechanism 53;

[0047] G. The oiling detection mechanism 53 detects whether the finished product is qualified for oiling; the blanking mechanism 6 drives the qualified and unqualified finished products to be transported in different directions.

[0048] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 ; The equipment of the present invention includes a plurality of bearing seat part transmission mechanisms, and the transmission structure includes a bearing sleeve transmission device 31, a gasket transmission device 32, a bearing transmission device 33, a flipping device 34, a buffer pad transmission device 36 and a material clamping device 38; The bearing sleeve transmission device 31 is used to grab the bearing sleeve 9 conveyed by the bearing sleeve vibrating basin 21 and place it into the bearing sleeve fixing groove 391 of the loading table 39. The gasket transmission device 32 is used to install the gasket conveyed by the gasket vibrating disk 22 into the bearing sleeve. The bearing transmission device 33 is used to install the bearing conveyed by the bearing vibrating basin 23 into the bearing sleeve equipped with the gasket; The flipping device 34 flips the bearing sleeve with the bearing by 180 degrees and then reinstalls it into the bearing sleeve fixing groove 391; The buffer pad transmission device 36 is used to install the buffer pad conveyed by the buffer pad vibrating disk 24 into the flipped bearing sleeve; The material clamping device 38 is used to transport the bearing sleeve equipped with the buffer pad to the working position of the rotating mechanism 41.

2. The fully automatic bearing housing assembly device according to claim 1, characterized in that, it further includes a gasket detection device and a buffer pad detection device; the gasket detection turning device is used to detect the bearing sleeve equipped with the bearing; the turning device is used to turn the bearing sleeve detected by the gasket detection device; the buffer pad detection device is used to perform visual detection on the turned bearing sleeve, and the clamping device is used to transport the bearing sleeve detected by the buffer pad detection device to the working position of the rotating mechanism.

3. The fully automatic bearing housing assembly device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The bearing sleeve transmission device includes a second drive cylinder, a second clamping jaw and a second slideway. The second slideway includes a second horizontal slideway communicating with the bearing sleeve vibrating basin and a second vertical slideway communicating with the second horizontal slideway. After the bearing sleeve slides into the second vertical slideway from the bearing sleeve vibrating basin along the second horizontal slideway, the second push plate in the second vertical slideway pushes the bearing sleeve to the corresponding position under the second clamping jaw; the second drive cylinder drives the second clamping jaw to move longitudinally; after the second clamping jaw grabs the bearing sleeve in the second vertical slideway, it moves longitudinally to place the bearing sleeve on the bearing sleeve fixing groove of the circular loading table.

4. The fully automatic bearing housing assembly device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The bearing transmission device and the bearing sleeve transmission device are arranged at intervals from each other, and both the bearing transmission device and the bearing sleeve transmission device are arranged on a horizontal support plate; the gasket transmission device is arranged between the bearing transmission device and the bearing sleeve transmission device.

5. The fully automatic bearing housing assembly device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The flipping device includes a fourth motor and a fourth gripper. The fourth motor drives the fourth gripper to rotate. After the fourth gripper grabs the bearing sleeve, the fourth motor drives the fourth gripper to rotate 180 degrees and then installs the bearing sleeve into the bearing sleeve fixing groove.

6. The full-automatic bearing block assembling device according to claim 1, characterized in that the fourth motor is connected to the middle of the second vertical support plate; and the upper end of the second vertical support plate is also connected to the gasket detection device. The gasket detection device includes a fifth motor connected to the top of the support plate and an induction probe connected to the fifth motor. The fifth motor drives the induction probe to extend into the bottom of the bearing sleeve, and judges whether a gasket is installed by detecting the insertion depth. Since the gasket is relatively thick, if the gasket is not installed, the depth detected by the induction probe is significantly greater than the depth of the bearing sleeve already equipped with a gasket.

7. The full-automatic bearing block assembling device according to claim 1, characterized in that the material clamping device is arranged on the bracket. The material clamping device includes a fifth longitudinal cylinder, a fifth transverse cylinder and a fifth gripper. The fifth longitudinal cylinder is connected to the fifth gripper through a longitudinal slide plate; and the fifth longitudinal cylinder is connected to the bracket through a transverse slide bar; the fifth transverse cylinder drives the fifth longitudinal cylinder and the fifth gripper to move horizontally together, and the fifth longitudinal cylinder drives the fifth gripper to move longitudinally. The fifth gripper is used to clamp the assembled bearing block from the loading table to the working position on the bracket for placing the bearing block.

8. The full-automatic bearing block assembling device according to claim 1, characterized in that a sorting mechanism is further arranged on the bracket. The sorting mechanism is used to pick out unqualified bearing blocks from the working positions of the rotating mechanism; and a gearbox assembling mechanism for assembling the bearing block and the gearbox is also arranged on the bracket. The sorting mechanism and the material clamping device are arranged on one side of the bracket, and the gearbox assembling mechanism is arranged on the other side of the bracket. The sorting mechanism includes a collecting box, an eighth longitudinal cylinder, an eighth transverse cylinder and an eighth gripper located on the bracket. The eighth longitudinal cylinder is connected to the eighth gripper through a longitudinal slide plate; and the eighth longitudinal cylinder is connected to the bracket through a transverse slide bar. The eighth transverse cylinder drives the eighth longitudinal cylinder and the eighth gripper to move horizontally together, and the eighth longitudinal cylinder drives the eighth gripper to move longitudinally. The eighth gripper is used to grab the unqualified bearing block from the column and place it into the collecting box.

9. A full-automatic bearing block assembling method, characterized in that applied to the full-automatic bearing block assembling device according to any one of claims 1-8, including the following steps: S1: Install the bearing sleeve on the loading table; S2: Install the gasket into the bearing sleeve; S3: Install the bearing into the bearing sleeve; S4: Detect whether the gasket is installed; S5: Perform flipping after detection; S6: Install the buffer pad into the bearing sleeve; S7: Detect whether the buffer pad is installed; S8: The material clamping device transports the bearing sleeve to the working position of the next process.
