[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6 A gear converging conveying mechanism comprises a gear transport assembly 1, a guide plate assembly 2 is installed on the gear transport assembly 1, the guide plate assembly 2 forms a transport channel, a transport seat 3 is installed on the gear transport assembly 1, and two separately arranged assembly entrances are provided on the gear transport assembly 1. The gear transport assembly 1 drives the transport seat 3 to move along the transport channel and pass through the two assembly entrances in sequence. A gear assembly is sent into each assembly entrance to the same transport seat 3. The gear assembly is movably arranged on the transport seat 3 through its pin shaft. The guide plate assembly 2 has an inwardly closing guide surface 26 at the assembly entrance. The gear assembly sent in first rotates and advances along the guide surface 26 and moves along the transport channel. The gear assembly sent in later rotates and advances along the guide surface 26 and gradually approaches the gear assembly sent in first, so that the two gear assemblies are gradually meshed.

[0023] In addition, the component entrance includes an inner gear entrance 4 for feeding the inner gear component 6 and an outer gear entrance 5 for feeding the outer gear component 7. The guide plate assembly 2 includes a side guide plate 21 and a gear guide plate arranged in parallel along both sides of the gear transport component. A transport channel is formed between the gear guide plate and the side guide plate 21. The guide surface 26 is located at the end of the gear guide plate located at the inner gear entrance 4 and the outer gear entrance 5. The transport seat 3 passes through the inner gear entrance, and the inner gear component 6 enters the transport seat 3. The transport seat 3 moves forward so that the inner gear component 6 enters the transport channel along the guide surface 26. The transport seat 3 passes through the outer gear entrance 5, and the outer gear component 7 enters the transport seat 3. The transport seat 3 moves forward so that the outer gear component 7 enters the transport channel along the guide surface 26 and gradually approaches the inner gear component 6, so that the inner gear component 6 and the outer gear component 7 gradually mesh and are sent out through the outlet 8 at the end of the gear transport channel. The inner gear component 6 and the outer gear component 7 are pushed into the transport seat by an external manipulator or a pushing device. The manipulator or pushing device here can be selected according to the conventional means or common knowledge in the art. Both the internal gear assembly 6 and the external gear assembly 7 include gears, gaskets are provided at the upper and lower ends of the gears, a pin shaft is passed through the inside of the gears, and a needle roller is provided between the pin shaft and the inside of the gears.

[0024] In addition, the gear guide plate includes a front guide plate 22 and a rear guide plate 23. The left end of the front guide plate 22 is close to the internal gear entrance 4, and the right end is close to the external gear entrance 5. The left end of the rear guide plate 23 is close to the external gear entrance 5, and the right end is located at the exit 8 of the gear transport assembly 1. The guide surface is located at the internal gear entrance and the right end of the external gear assembly.

[0025] In addition, the width of the front guide plate 22 is greater than that of the rear guide plate 23. The transport channel includes an inner gear channel 24 formed by the front guide plate 22 and the side guide plate 21 and a confluence channel 25 formed by the rear guide plate 23 and the side guide plate 21. The width of the inner gear channel 24 is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the inner gear assembly 6, and the width of the confluence channel 25 is slightly greater than the sum of the outer diameters of the meshed inner gear assembly 6 and the outer gear assembly 7. The movement direction of the inner gear assembly 6 and the outer gear assembly 7 is limited by the size of the transport channel. Most importantly, it can ensure that the inner gear assembly and the outer gear assembly are meshed and there is no relative displacement between them during the transport process, which may cause deviations during the subsequent installation process.

[0026] In addition, the inner gear inlet 4 is located at the left end of the gear transport assembly 1 , and the outer gear inlet 5 is located in the middle of the gear transport assembly 1 .

[0027] In addition, the side guide plates 21 and the gear guide plates are installed on the left and right sides of the gear transport assembly 1 , and the transport seat 3 is located below the side guide plates 21 and the gear guide plates.

[0028] In addition, the transport seat 3 and the component entrance have a step-like structure 31 symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and a positioning groove 32 is formed between the bottoms of the step-like structure 31, and the pins of the internal gear assembly 6 and the external gear assembly 7 are rotatably arranged in the positioning groove 32. The internal gear assembly 6 and the external gear assembly 7 are respectively moved to the positioning groove 32 of the transport seat 3 through the corresponding positioning grooves 32 on the component entrance, ensuring that the positions of the internal gear assembly 6 and the external gear assembly 7 entering the transport seat 3 are not offset.

[0029] In addition, the gear transport assembly 1 includes a base 11 , on the upper edge of which a double-row sprocket chain device 12 is horizontally mounted, and the transport seats 3 are evenly spaced and arranged on the double-row sprocket chain device 12 .

[0030] The specific working principle of the gear converging conveying mechanism of the present invention is as follows: the gear transport assembly 1 is started, and the transport seat 3 starts to move. When the transport seat 3 moves to the internal gear entrance 4, an internal gear assembly 6 is sent into the transport seat 3 through the internal gear entrance 4, and the transport seat 3 continues to move forward. During the forward movement of the transport seat 3, the guide surface 26 at the end of the front guide plate 22 contacts the internal gear assembly 6, and the internal gear assembly 6 slowly rotates along the guide surface 26 and follows the transport seat 3 to the internal gear channel 24. The transport seat 3 drives the internal gear assembly 6 to move forward along the internal gear channel 24. When the transport seat 3 continues to move to the external gear entrance 5, an external gear assembly 7 is sent into the transport seat 3 through the external gear entrance 4. The gear inlet 5 is fed into the transport seat 3, and the transport seat 3 continues to move forward. During the forward movement of the transport seat 3, the guide surface 26 of the rear guide plate 23 contacts the outer gear assembly 7, and the outer gear assembly 7 slowly rotates along the guide surface 26 and moves forward with the transport seat 3. During the movement, the outer gear assembly 7 gradually moves downward to approach the inner gear assembly 6, so that the outer gear assembly 7 and the inner gear assembly 6 are gradually meshed. The transport seat 3 continues to move forward, and the outer gear assembly 7 and the inner gear assembly 6 are fully meshed and enter the merging channel 25, and move along the merging channel 25 to the outlet 8 at the end of the gear transport assembly 1 for transportation. Thereafter, the meshed outer gear assembly 7 and the inner gear assembly 6 enter the subsequent installation mechanism.

[0031] Different from the prior art, the gear merging conveying mechanism of the present invention can gradually mesh the internal gear assembly and the external gear assembly during transportation, ensuring that the positions of the internal gear assembly and the external gear assembly will not shift during transportation, making it convenient to subsequently install the internal gear assembly and the external gear into the planetary carrier.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
