Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of industrial automation, and particularly relates to a wrench assembly mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In a continuous sprayer, a commonly used spring is made of stainless steel and can meet normal use. However, in sprayers that require foreign trade and high-quality products, the components in contact with the liquid cannot be made of metal. A plastic elastic piece is designed on the elastic wrench and clamped on the main body to form an elastic component, which is called a plastic spring. The plastic spring is outside the piston cavity and will not contact water. However, the plastic spring is very soft and easy to deform, and the connection between the plastic spring and the wrench is very thin and easy to break. When installing the wrench with the plastic spring into the sprayer main body, great care needs to be taken with the position of the plastic spring.
[0003] When installing the wrench into the main body product, an artificial method is usually adopted. Since the wrench needs to be installed at a specific angle during assembly, the worker needs to first insert the wrench into the main body product along the main body card slot, and then press the plastic spring into the main body limit slot. The artificial method has the following problems:
[0004] (1) For the artificial installation method, manual pressing results in high labor intensity.
[0005] (2) Fatigue caused by long-term pressing may lead to the wrench not being fully inserted into the card slot, which has a certain impact on the subsequent product quality.
[0006] (3) When the plastic spring is pressed into the limit later, the spring may break. Summary of the Invention

[0056] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.
[0057] Refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2 , a wrench assembly mechanism with a plastic spring, including a frame, on which a wrench assembly component 1 and a wrench assembly mechanism 2 are provided. The wrench assembly component 1 is located on the front side of the wrench assembly mechanism 2. The wrench assembly component 1 is used to adjust the wrench 4 to be assembled to a preset inclination angle. The wrench assembly mechanism 2 is used to install the wrench 4 with the adjusted angle into the main body slot of the main body product, and at the same time install the plastic spring on the wrench 4 into the main body limiting slot of the main body product.
[0058] Refer to Figure 1 To refer to Figure 3 , the wrench assembly component 1 includes an upper lifting cylinder 11, a wrench support plate 12, at least one wrench assembly seat 13, an upper lifting block 14, an upper lifting rod 15, and a rotating disk 16. Among them, a single wrench assembly seat 13 includes a base 131, a support seat 132, a manual wrench placement 133, and a hinge shaft 134.
[0059] The upper lifting cylinder 11 is arranged on the frame, and the axial direction of the piston of the upper lifting cylinder 11 is vertical.
[0060] The wrench support plate 12 is located above the upper lifting cylinder 11. An upper lifting groove that communicates up and down is provided on the wrench support plate 12, and the piston of the upper lifting cylinder 11 is below the upper lifting groove. The upper lifting groove is preferably a circular groove, and the center of the upper lifting groove is preferably concentric with the axis of the piston.
[0061] The wrench assembly base 13 can be one, preferably two. The two wrench assembly bases 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the wrench support plate 12. When there are two wrench assembly bases 13, there are also two upper top grooves on the wrench support plate 12. The double-station wrench assembly base 13 can place a new wrench 4 during the assembly process, saving assembly time.
[0062] In a single wrench assembly base 13, the base 131 and the support base 132 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the upper top groove on the wrench support plate 12. As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the base 131 and the support base 132 are respectively arranged along the front and back on the wrench support plate 12, and the corresponding upper top groove is located between the base 131 and the support base 132. The wrench placing fixture 133 straddles above the upper top groove. One end of the wrench placing fixture 133 is hingedly connected to the base 131 via a hinge shaft 134, and the bottom surface of the other end of the wrench placing fixture abuts against the support base 132. In order to enable the wrench assembly base 13 to return stably after being jacked up, it is preferably that a hinge return spring is sleeved on the hinge shaft 134, and the wrench placing fixture 133 is reset by the restoring force provided by the hinge return spring.
[0063] The upper top block 14 is of a hemispherical structure. The diameter of the upper top block 14 is larger than the diameter of the upper top groove. The plane of the upper top block 14 covers the upper top groove, and the arc surface of the upper top block 14 abuts against the bottom surface of the wrench placing fixture 133.
[0064] The top of the upper top rod 15 is integrally connected to the plane of the upper top block 14. The bottom of the upper top rod 15 passes through the upper top groove and has a preset distance from the piston of the upper top cylinder 11. That is, the upper top rod 15 is located at a preset distance above the upper top cylinder 11. When there are two wrench assembly bases 13, one upper top rod 15, the upper top block 14 and the wrench assembly base 13 above it are docked with the upper top cylinder 11, and the other upper top rod 15, the upper top block 14 and the wrench assembly base 13 above it are away from the upper top cylinder 11.
[0065] The rotating disk 16 is rotatably arranged on the frame. The rotation axis of the rotating disk 16 is vertical. The rotating disk 16 is fixed to the bottom surface of the wrench support plate 12, and drives the wrench support plate 12 to rotate, thereby driving the wrench assembly base 13 on the wrench support plate 12 to dock with or away from the upper top cylinder 11. The rotating disk 16 is connected to a servo motor, a stepping motor or a rotating cylinder, and the power is provided by the servo motor, the stepping motor or the rotating cylinder. As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the servo motor 17 is used to provide power for the rotating disk 16. The connection method between the servo motor 17 and the rotating disk 16 adopts the structure in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0066] The wrench 4 with a plastic spring of the present invention can place the wrench 4 on the wrench loading fixture 133 manually or through a wrench feeding mechanism. By rotating the rotating disk 16, the wrench loading fixture 133 is rotated to the side close to the wrench assembling mechanism 2. When the wrench 4 needs to be assembled, since one end of the wrench loading fixture 133 can rotate, after the piston of the upper pushing cylinder 11 extends upward, it pushes against the bottom of the upper pushing rod 15 to drive the upper pushing rod 15 to rise together. Then, through the upper pushing block 14, the wrench loading fixture 133 is pushed up to a preset angle for the wrench assembling mechanism 2 to pick up and assemble. The arc surface design of the upper pushing block 14 can avoid hard wear of the wrench loading fixture 133. After the material is picked up, the upper pushing cylinder 11 descends and resets, the wrench loading fixture 133 descends and resets, and the rotating disk 16 rotates to rotate the wrench loading fixture 133 to the side away from the wrench assembling mechanism 2. Again, the wrench 4 is placed on the empty wrench loading fixture 133 manually or through a wrench feeding mechanism. The above method can simulate the manual assembling angle, provide a good assembling angle for the subsequent wrench assembling mechanism 2 to assemble the wrench 4, and greatly improve the assembling stability.
[0067] Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,the wrench assembling mechanism 2 is located at the rear side of the wrench assembling component 1. The wrench assembling mechanism 2 includes a transverse movement cylinder 21, a vertical movement cylinder 22, a wrench clamping jaw cylinder 23, wrench clamping jaws 24, two movable mandrels 25, two retaining edges 26, and at least one inductor 27.
[0068] The transverse movement cylinder 21 is arranged on the frame, and the axial direction of the piston of the transverse movement cylinder 21 is transverse.
[0069] The axial direction of the piston of the vertical movement cylinder 22 is vertical. The vertical movement cylinder 22 is fixed on the piston of the transverse movement cylinder 21, and the transverse movement cylinder 21 drives the vertical movement cylinder 22 to perform transverse movement.
[0070] The wrench clamping jaw cylinder 23 is fixed on the piston of the vertical movement cylinder 22, and the vertical movement cylinder 22 drives the wrench clamping jaw cylinder 23 to perform vertical movement.
[0071] The wrench clamping jaws 24 are arranged on the wrench clamping jaw cylinder 23, and the wrench clamping jaw cylinder 23 drives the wrench clamping jaws 24 to clamp or release the wrench 4. The wrench clamping jaws 24 are preferably made of stainless steel and are polished by mirror polishing before use to ensure that the wrench 4 is not scratched when the two sides of the wrench 4 are clamped.
[0072] When it is necessary to assemble the wrench 4 and the manual wrench loading fixture 133 is lifted to a preset angle, the horizontal translation cylinder 21 and the vertical translation cylinder 22 cooperate to move the wrench jaw cylinder 23 and the wrench jaw 24 above the manual wrench loading fixture 133. The wrench jaw cylinder 23 drives the wrench jaw 24 to clamp and pick up the wrench 4 at the inclined angle, and then the horizontal translation cylinder 21 and the vertical translation cylinder 22 cooperate to move the wrench jaw cylinder 23 and the wrench jaw 24 to the main product to assemble the wrench 4. Through the wrench assembly mechanism 2, the wrench 4 and the spring can be simultaneously inserted into the main body slot of the main product without causing damage to the product.
[0073] On the front side surfaces of the wrench jaws 24, two mandrel receiving grooves are respectively provided. The two mandrel receiving grooves are respectively located on the left and right sides of the wrench jaw 24. Each mandrel receiving groove is connected to an external air source through an air path. When manufacturing the wrench jaw 24, it is necessary to ensure the airtightness of the processing so as not to leak air after connecting to the external air source and to realize the reciprocating movement of the movable mandrel 25.
[0074] Refer to Figure 5 , one end of the movable mandrel 25 is restricted in a corresponding mandrel receiving groove by a return spring, and the other end of the movable mandrel 25 can extend out of the mandrel receiving groove. Before the wrench jaw 24 clamps the wrench 4 and assembles it into the main body slot of the main product, the movable mandrel 25 can be pushed out by the air source, so as to push the plastic spring on the wrench 4 clamped by the wrench jaw 24, so that the angle of the plastic spring can smoothly enter the limit slot.
[0075] Refer to Figure 5 , the retaining edge 26 adopts an inverted L-shaped structure. The retaining edge 26 is located below the movable mandrel 25. One section of the two retaining edges is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the wrench jaw 24, and the other section of the two retaining edges is respectively arranged in front of the front side surface of the wrench jaw 24 at a preset distance. As a result, the two retaining edges 26 are arranged opposite to each other left and right. The design of the L-shaped retaining edge 26 does not affect the wrench jaw 24 from clamping the wrench 4 and can be used as a limit. After the movable mandrel 25 is pushed out, when assembling the wrench 4 and the plastic spring, it can prevent the plastic spring from popping out of the limit slot. After the assembly is completed, both the plastic spring and the wrench 4 are clamped into the corresponding slots.
[0076] The number of the sensors 27 is the same as the number of the manual wrench loading fixtures 133. The sensors 27 are fixed to the frame through the sensor 27 connecting rods. The sensing surfaces of the sensors 27 face the manual wrench loading fixtures 133 and are used to sense whether there is a wrench 4 at the inclined angle. The sensors 27 are preferably proximity switches. When the manual wrench loading fixture 133 is tilted to the preset angle, the sensing surface of the sensor 27 can sense the wrench 4 at the inclined preset angle. At this time, it is considered that the wrench 4 can be clamped by the wrench jaw 24.
[0077] Refer to Figure 6, a wrench feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on the rack. The wrench feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on the side of the wrench assembly component 1. The wrench 4 is placed on the manual wrench loading position 133 far from the wrench jaw 24 by the wrench feeding mechanism 3 to achieve feeding without stopping the machine.
