[0067] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] This invention provides a bearing assembly device suitable for applications where ball bearings are installed on both sides of a bearing bracket. It enables mechanized assembly of ball bearings and bearing brackets, thereby reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0069] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bearing assembly equipment includes a support transfer robot, a bearing feeding mechanism 1, a bearing transfer robot 2, a front pressing mechanism 3a, a back pressing mechanism 3b, and a feeding platform 4.

[0070] The bracket transfer robot is used to provide the bearing bracket facing upward to the front pressing mechanism 3a, flip the bearing bracket on the front pressing mechanism 3a up and down and transfer it to the reverse pressing mechanism 3b, and transfer the bearing bracket on the reverse pressing mechanism 3b to the unloading platform 4.

[0071] The bearing feeding mechanism 1 is used to provide ball bearings, and the bearing transfer robot 2 is used to transfer the ball bearings provided by the bearing feeding mechanism 1 to the front pressing mechanism 3a or the back pressing mechanism 3b.

[0072] The front pressing mechanism 3a is used to press the received ball bearing into the front of the bearing bracket, and the back pressing mechanism 3b is used to press the received ball bearing into the back of the bearing bracket.

[0073] The bearing assembly equipment provided in this embodiment includes a bracket transfer robot that places a bearing bracket with the front side facing up, provided by the upstream equipment, into a front pressing mechanism 3a. Then, a bearing transfer robot 2 transfers a ball bearing provided by a bearing feeding mechanism 1 to the front pressing mechanism 3a, where the front pressing mechanism 3a presses the ball bearing into the front side of the bearing bracket. Next, the bracket transfer robot flips the bearing bracket with the ball bearing already installed in the front pressing mechanism 3a and places it into a reverse pressing mechanism 3b. The bearing transfer robot 2 then transfers the ball bearing provided by the bearing feeding mechanism 1 to the reverse pressing mechanism 3b, where the reverse pressing mechanism 3b presses the received ball bearing into the reverse side of the bearing bracket. After completing the assembly of the bearings on both sides, the bracket transfer robot can place the bearing bracket with ball bearings installed on both sides from the reverse pressing mechanism 3b into the unloading platform 4.

[0074] Therefore, the bearing assembly equipment provided in this embodiment can realize the mechanized assembly of ball bearings and bearing supports, thereby reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0075] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bearing feeding mechanism 1 includes a bearing feeding plate 101, a bearing storage assembly 102, a positioning insert plate 103, a positioning linear drive mechanism 104, a cylinder changing linear drive mechanism 105, a bearing pushing insert plate 106, a bearing pushing linear drive mechanism 107, and a pushing adapter plate 108.

[0076] The bearing feeding plate 101 is provided with a bearing feeding channel 1011 at its top. The bearing storage assembly 102 is located above the bearing feeding plate 101 and includes a cylinder fixing seat 1021 with a plurality of positioning slots 1021a and a plurality of storage cylinders 1022 fixed on the cylinder fixing seat 1021.

[0077] The positioning insert plate 103 is located on the side of the barrel fixing seat 1021; the driving end of the positioning linear drive mechanism 104 is connected to the positioning insert plate 103, and is used to drive the positioning insert plate 103 to insert or pull out the corresponding positioning slot 1021a.

[0078] The driving end of the cylinder changing linear drive mechanism 105 is connected to the positioning linear drive mechanism 104, and the driving direction of the cylinder changing linear drive mechanism 105 is perpendicular to the length direction of the bearing feeding channel 1011. It is used to drive different storage cylinders 1022 to move directly above the bearing feeding channel 1011 through the positioning linear drive mechanism 104.

[0079] The bearing pusher plate 106 is slidably disposed in the bearing feeding channel 1011; the driving end of the bearing pusher linear drive mechanism 107 is connected to the bearing pusher plate 106 through the pusher adapter plate 108, which is used to drive the bearing pusher plate 106 to push the rolling bearing along the bearing feeding channel 1011 to one end close to the bearing transfer robot 2.

[0080] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bearing assembly equipment also includes a bearing inner ring wiping mechanism 5. The bearing inner ring wiping mechanism 5 includes a wiping station plate 501, a rotating sleeve 502, a sleeve motor 503, a cotton swab storage box 505, a cotton swab shifting linear module 506, a cotton swab infeed pin 507, a cotton swab infeed linear drive mechanism 508, a cotton swab withdrawal steel pipe 509, and a cotton swab withdrawal linear drive mechanism 510.

[0081] The wiping station plate 501 is fixed above the bearing feeding channel 1011; the rotating sleeve 502 is rotatably mounted on the wiping station plate 501; the bearing feeding channel 1011 is provided with a cotton swab passage hole 1012 located directly below the rotating sleeve 502.

[0082] The drive end of the sleeve motor 503 is connected to the rotating sleeve 502, and is used to drive the rotating sleeve 502 to rotate around a vertical axis. The cotton swab storage box 505 is provided with a plurality of cotton swab storage slots 5051 for placing cleaning cotton swabs; wherein, each cotton swab storage slot 5051 has a needle hole at the bottom. The end of the cotton swab shifting linear module 506 is connected to the cotton swab storage box 505.

[0083] The cotton swab insertion pin 507 is located below the rotating sleeve 502; the driving end of the cotton swab insertion linear drive mechanism 508 is connected to the cotton swab insertion pin 507, and is used to drive the cotton swab insertion pin 507 through the needle hole to push the clean cotton swab in the corresponding cotton swab storage slot 5051 upward into the rotating sleeve 502.

[0084] The cotton swab removal steel tube 509 is located above the rotating sleeve 502; the driving end of the cotton swab removal linear drive mechanism 510 is connected to the cotton swab removal steel tube 509, and is used to drive the cotton swab removal steel tube 509 downward to push the cleaning cotton swab out of the rotating sleeve 502.

[0085] Optionally, the rotating sleeve 502 is connected to the sleeve motor 503 via a belt and pulley assembly 504.

[0086] The belt and pulley transmission method allows the sleeve motor 503 to be positioned on the side of the rotating sleeve 502, freeing up space directly above the rotating sleeve for installing the cotton swab removal steel tube 509.

[0087] Furthermore, the upper end of the cotton swab removal tube 509 is sequentially connected to an alcohol hose, a peristaltic pump, and an alcohol bottle.

[0088] Specifically, the process of the bearing feeding mechanism 1 pushing the ball bearing is as follows:

[0089] S101: First, fill each storage cylinder 1022 with stacked ball bearings;

[0090] S102: The positioning linear drive mechanism 104 drives the positioning insert plate 103 to extend forward and insert into the positioning slot 1021a of the material cylinder fixing seat 1021; then, the cylinder changing linear drive mechanism 105 retracts and drives the storage cylinder 1022 at the outermost position to move directly above the bearing feeding channel 1011.

[0091] At this time, under the action of gravity, the bottom ball bearing will fall into the bearing feeding channel 1011;

[0092] S103: The bearing pusher linear drive mechanism 107 retracts, driving the bearing pusher plate 106 to slide toward the bearing transfer robot 2, thereby pushing the bottom ball bearing forward to directly above the cotton swab hole 1012.

[0093] S104: The bearing pusher linear drive mechanism 107 extends, driving the bearing pusher plate 106 to slide away from the bearing transfer robot 2, thereby completing the reset;

[0094] S105: After the bearing pusher plate 106 is reset, the ball bearing that was originally the second lowest position becomes the lowest position ball bearing and falls into the bearing feeding channel 1011. Then the bearing pusher plate 106 extends forward again and pushes it to the top of the cotton swab hole 1012. At the same time, it pushes the ball bearing that was previously pushed to the top of the cotton swab hole 1012 forward.

[0095] It should be noted that the bearing pushing linear drive mechanism 107 drives the bearing pushing plate 106 to move back and forth repeatedly, so that all the ball bearings in the storage cylinder 1022 at the outermost position can be pushed out one by one. At this time, the cylinder changing linear drive mechanism 105 drives the cylinder fixing seat 1021 to move, so that the next storage cylinder 1022 can move to the top of the bearing feeding channel 1011. Then the above operation can be repeated to continue pushing the ball bearings forward.

[0096] S201: When a ball bearing is pushed directly above the cotton swab passage 1012, the cotton swab shifting linear module 506 drives the cotton swab storage box 505 to move, so that an unused cleaning cotton swab is vertically aligned with the cotton swab passage 1012.

[0097] S202: The linear drive mechanism 508 for inserting cotton swabs drives the cotton swab inserting pin 507 to move upward, thereby causing the cleaning cotton swab to pass through the cotton swab through hole 1012 upward, and the upper end of the cleaning cotton swab is inserted into the rotating sleeve 502, and the lower end of the cleaning cotton swab is located at the inner ring of the ball bearing.

[0098] S203: The peristaltic pump works to send the alcohol in the alcohol bottle through the alcohol hose into the cotton swab removal tube 509, and then drips down through the cotton swab removal tube 509 onto the cleaning cotton swab to moisten it.

[0099] S204: The sleeve motor 503 operates, driving the rotating sleeve 502 to rotate the cleaning cotton swab, thereby wiping the inner ring of the ball bearing;

[0100] S205: After wiping, the cotton swab removal linear drive mechanism 510 drives the cotton swab removal steel tube 509 to move downward, thereby pushing the used cleaning cotton swab downward out of the rotating sleeve 502.

[0101] The ejected cleaning swabs will fall back into the original swab storage slot 5051, thus realizing the recycling of used cleaning swabs.

[0102] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, both the front pressing mechanism 3a and the back pressing mechanism 3b include a support platform 301 for placing the bearing bracket, a bearing platform 302 for placing the ball bearing, a bearing gripper 303 for clamping the ball bearing, and a bearing displacement linear module 304 for driving the bearing gripper 303 to reciprocate between the support platform 301 and the bearing platform 302.

[0103] Furthermore, the support platform 301 is provided with a pressure head body 305 and a pressing linear drive mechanism 306 that drives the pressure head body 305 to move up and down.

[0104] In this embodiment, the bearing transfer robot 2 includes a rotating plate 201, a bearing transfer motor 202, a front gripper 203, and a back gripper 204.

[0105] The drive end of the bearing transfer motor 202 is connected to the middle of the rotating plate 201; the front gripper 203 is installed at one end of the rotating plate 201; and the back gripper 204 is installed at the other end of the rotating plate 201.

[0106] When the front gripper 203 rotates with the rotating plate 201 to the bearing platform 302 of the front pressing mechanism 3a, the back gripper 204 is located at the outlet of the bearing feeding channel 1011.

[0107] When the front gripper 203 rotates with the rotating plate 201 to the outlet of the bearing feeding channel 1011, the back gripper 204 is located at the bearing platform 302 of the back pressing mechanism 3b.

[0108] Optionally, the bearing transfer robot 2 further includes a rotary plate linear drive mechanism 205. The drive end of the rotary plate linear drive mechanism 205 is connected to the bearing transfer motor 202 and is used to drive the rotary plate 201 to move up and down so as to prevent the rotary plate 201 from interfering with the bearing feeding plate 101 or the bearing platform 302 when it rotates.

[0109] It should be noted that when the bearing feeding mechanism 1 pushes the bearings one by one to the outlet of the bearing feeding channel 1011, the subsequent process is as follows:

[0110] S301: When performing the aforementioned steps S101 to S205, the support transfer robot can remove the bearing support from the upstream dispensing equipment and place it on the support platform 301 of the front pressing mechanism 3a.

[0111] S302: The bearing transfer motor 202 rotates in the forward direction, driving the front gripper 203 to move to the outlet of the bearing feeding channel 1011 and grab a ball bearing.

[0112] S303: The bearing transfer motor 202 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the front gripper 203 to move to the bearing platform 302 of the front pressing mechanism 3a and release the gripped ball bearing.

[0113] At the same time, the reverse gripper 204 will move to the outlet of the bearing feed channel 1011 and grab a ball bearing.

[0114] When the bearing transfer motor 202 rotates forward again to drive the front gripper 203 to grab the ball bearing from the bearing feeding channel 1011, the back gripper 204 can place the grabbed ball bearing on the bearing platform 302 of the back pressing mechanism 3b.

[0115] S304: The bearing shifting linear module 304 of the front pressing mechanism 3a drives the bearing gripper 303 to move, so that the ball bearing on the bearing platform 302 of the front pressing mechanism 3a can be placed on the bearing bracket of the support platform 301 of the front pressing mechanism 3a.

[0116] Next, the pressing linear drive mechanism 306 of the front pressing mechanism 3a drives the pressing head body 305 to move downward, thereby pressing the ball bearing into the front of the bearing bracket.

[0117] S305: The support transfer robot takes out the bearing support from the support platform 301 of the front pressing mechanism 3a, flips the bearing support up and down, and then puts it on the support platform 301 of the reverse pressing mechanism 3b.

[0118] S306: The reverse pressing mechanism 3b repeats the above step S304 to press another ball bearing into the reverse side of the bearing bracket;

[0119] S307: After the front and back sides are assembled, the bracket transfer robot takes out the bearing bracket from the bracket platform 301 of the back pressing mechanism 3b and places it on the unloading platform 4, so that the bearing bracket with ball bearings installed on both sides can be sent to the downstream equipment.

[0120] It should be noted that in this embodiment:

[0121] ①The support transfer robot can be a four-axis robot or a six-axis robot, etc. Its specific structure is not the focus of this embodiment, so it will not be described in detail.
