Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical assembly, and particularly relates to an automatic bearing oil seal die-casting production line and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most bearing installations are carried out manually, where workers use gloved hands to pick up bearings of various sizes. There is still a risk of dropping during the picking process. During manual assembly, a hammer is used for knocking, and a small bearing is pressed into a large bearing by manpower or a press. Whether it is manpower or controlling the press, this situation leads to low efficiency, high damage to the bearings during the assembly process, and high production costs. For bearing assembly, hard installation and impact should be avoided, and the force applied needs to be uniform. There are many existing devices for bearing assembly, but this production line is for a process from bearing picking to complete bearing assembly.

[0003] For example, the bearing processing and assembly machine disclosed in Patent Application No. 201620387410.0 includes a bearing assembly main body, a driving motor, and a bearing assembly equipment base. The bearing assembly equipment base is arranged below the bearing assembly main body, the driving motor is arranged on the right side of the bearing assembly main body, and there is a pressure rod above the left upper part of the bearing assembly equipment main body, and a hydraulic cylinder is above the pressure rod. In this way, during the die-casting process of the bearing, the position of the bearing can be better restricted, and the size of the die-casting force can be better controlled. This utility model has a simple structure, reasonable design, small assembly error, and less manual operation, thus improving the efficiency.

[0004] Another example is the flexible medium and small-sized bearing assembly tooling disclosed in Patent Application No. 2018202035600, which includes a working platform, a guide post cylinder, a cylinder mounting bracket, and a pressing head device. The guide posts are vertically symmetrically screwed to the top surface of the working platform, the cylinder mounting bracket is arranged on the upper part of the guide posts, the cylinder is arranged upside down on the cylinder mounting bracket, and the pressing head device is slidably arranged on the guide posts and fixedly installed with the top of the cylinder. Moreover, an assembly hole is made in the center of the working platform, and the pressing head has various specifications and can be replaced at any time to suit bearings of various models, which is also convenient for press-fitting. This flexible medium and small-sized bearing assembly tooling of the utility model has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, has a low manufacturing cost, and the auxiliary tooling can be simply replaced and adjusted for bearings of different sizes and specifications. It has a small volume and occupies little space.

[0005] However, for the above two types of auxiliary tooling for bearing assembly, improvements have only been made on how to make the bearing evenly stressed and avoid collisions during the die-casting process of the bearing. However, no corresponding measures have been taken for the losses that may occur during the movement of large and small bearings and oil seals. In fact, there are many mechanical devices for bearing die-casting, but there is no production line operation specifically for the process from grasping to die-casting. And this production line is targeted at the process of grasping large and small bearings and oil seals, and can perform multi-layer grasping, reducing the number of times and time for manual placement of bearings. The gripper uses a rotating method, which can reduce the number of times and time for fixture replacement. The material of the gripper can be designed according to the material of the material to avoid damaging the material. Summary of the Invention
