Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of graphite embedding machines, and specifically relates to a graphite embedding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Graphite copper bushing bearings are a widely used type of bushing product. Graphite copper bushing bearings possess the properties of graphite particles, primarily serving a lubricating function. Furthermore, during use, a strong lubricating effect is formed between the shaft and the bearing, preventing severe surface friction, reducing wear, and improving application efficiency and service life. Graphite copper bushing bearings have many advantages: 1. Outstanding load-bearing capacity: Graphite copper bushing bearings have a very high load-bearing capacity, performing exceptionally well in similar applications, making them ideal for the production needs of heavy industry. Currently, the market technology is mature, and demand is high. The demand in the heavy industry sector exceeds the demand for other similar products. 2. Self-lubricating properties: Graphite copper bushing bearings have a self-lubricating effect, preventing the formation of friction and improving their durability. Even over long periods, they will not suffer severe wear, a feature that buyers appreciate. Few other materials possess this functional value, and bearings made using this characteristic have gained high consumer recognition. 3. Long service life: Graphite copper bushing bearings have many advantages; utilizing their own lubrication, they can still be used for a long time without adding other lubricants. IV. Flexible Operation: Its operation is highly flexible, allowing processing during assembly with minimal errors. This flexibility facilitates enterprise processing and production, effectively improving production efficiency. Due to these four advantages, it has gained recognition across numerous industries and is in high demand in engineering construction and design-related fields. Its inherent advantages are significant; its self-lubricating properties are unmatched by other materials, reducing lubrication costs. Therefore, a graphite embedding machine is used to embed graphite into multiple holes on the copper sleeve wall, resulting in high strength and load-bearing capacity.

[0003] Before installing graphite, the surface around the graphite needs to be coated with glue; otherwise, it will easily fall off when shaken while installed in the copper sleeve. Traditional graphite installation devices can also install graphite through the cooperation of various structures, but glue easily saturates the glue head, making feeding difficult, and traditional methods are not easy to clean. Therefore, we will innovate based on the existing equipment. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0015] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0016] The proportioning device in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figures 1-6 As shown, A graphite embedding machine includes a discharge cylinder 1, a copper sleeve limiting mechanism, a graphite pushing mechanism, a glue applicator head, and a machine base 11. The discharge cylinder 1 is located above the machine housing 12 and is supported by a bracket. The graphite feeding mechanism includes a discharge pipe 2, one end of which is connected to the discharge cylinder 1. The discharge pipe 2 is located on a transfer plate 3. The transfer plate 3 is also equipped with a first pusher 4, a second pusher 5, a receiving slide 6, a first slide 7, and a second slide 8. A feeding track 9 is located on the left side of the transfer plate 3. A third pusher 10 is located at one end of the feeding track 9. The receiving slide 6, the first slide 7, the second slide 8, and the feeding track 9 are all semi-circular structures of the same size, and the diameter of the semicircles is adjustable. The machine base 11 is located above the chassis 12. A support platform 13 is provided between the machine base 11 and the chassis 12. The machine base 11 and the support platform 13 form a movable structure through the side handle 14. The dispensing head is located on the machine base 11. The dispensing head consists of a dispensing platform 15 and a dispensing head 16 located at the front end of the dispensing platform 15. The glue tube 17 is located on the dispensing platform 15. One or two glue tubes 17 can be placed. When one glue tube 17 is placed, one hole is opened on the glue tube seat to fix the glue tube. When two glue tubes 17 are placed, two holes are opened on the glue tube seat to fix the glue tube. The glue that is finally dispensed from the glue tubes all converges into the glue trough 21 of the graphite guide. The dispensing head 16 consists of a graphite guide 18 and a positioning flange 19. The graphite guide 18 has a channel 20 and a spiral glue trough 21. The positioning flange 19 has a spiral flow channel 22. The bottom end of the flow channel 22 is connected to the top end of the flow channel 22.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the graphite guide 18 is provided with a protrusion 23, the positioning flange 19 has a hollow structure, and the flow channel 22 is connected to the channel 20.

[0018] Furthermore, the glue platform 15 is provided with a through groove, and a push rod 26 is provided in the through groove. The center of the through groove, the channel 20, and the flow channel 22 are located on the same straight line. The graphite is pushed out from the positioning flange by the push rod and pushed into the hole of the copper sleeve.

[0019] Furthermore, the flow channel 22 has a structure that is higher on the outside and lower on the inside, and the graphite guide 18 has an opening 27 on its side, which corresponds to one end of the feeding track 9.

[0020] Furthermore, the copper sleeve limiting mechanism includes a lifting platform 28 located on the chassis 12. The lifting platform 28 is also equipped with a column 31, which has a linear guide rail, a triangular support base, a cylinder, and a rotatable pressure head 32. The rotatable pressure head is connected to the triangular support base and includes a rotating fixed head at one end and a tailstock at the other end. The rotatable pressure head 32 and the triangular support base are connected to the column 31 via the linear guide rail and move up and down through the extension and retraction of the cylinder. Specifically, a rotating platform 29 is located above the lifting platform 28, and a pneumatic rotary collet 38 is mounted on the rotating platform 29. The pneumatic rotary collet 38 has chucks 3... 0. The bottom end of the copper sleeve is located in the chuck 30. The size of the chuck 30 can be freely changed according to the size of the copper sleeve. The lifting platform 28 is also equipped with a column 31. The column 31 is equipped with a rotatable pressure head 32. The rotatable pressure head 32 is composed of a bearing fixing seat, a rotating fixing head, a tapered roller bearing, a locking plate, a main sleeve, a plane bearing, a spring, a pin, and a tail seat. The tail seat is connected to the column 31 through a linear guide rail and can move up and down. The rotatable pressure head 32 can press down and fix the upper end of the bushing. At this time, the main sleeve moves upward and presses the outer spring. When the rotatable pressure head 32 disengages from the copper sleeve, the spring can make the main sleeve return to its original position.

[0021] Furthermore, the machine 11 is also equipped with a scanner 33 and a projector 34, and the lifting platform 28 is equipped with a servo motor 35. The lifting platform 28 is also equipped with a vision sensor 39 electrically connected to the servo motor 35. The lifting platform 28 is controlled by the servo motor 35, and the servo motor 35 is connected to the lead screw module 37. The servo motors on the lifting platform 28 and the rotating platform 29 are both connected to the vision sensor through data transmission. The servo motor 35 and the vision sensor 39 are existing technologies on the market.

[0022] Furthermore, a graphite element is always retained within the graphite guide 18, ensuring that the initial graphite in the dispensing head 16 corresponds to the quantity of graphite fed in. Specifically, the dispensing head 16 initially contains one graphite element, as shown in the figure. When the machine starts operating, the copper sleeve is placed on the jaw 30, with its bottom fixed by the jaw 30. The upper end of the copper sleeve is fixed by the rotatable pressure head 32 through downward pressure. The vision sensor 39 and scanner 33 adjust the position of the support platform where the copper sleeve is placed, so that the position of the hole on the copper sleeve corresponds to the position of the graphite that will be pushed out of the positioning flange 19 by the push rod 26. The graphite can then be installed, and the glue in the glue cylinder 17 begins to flow into the flow channel 22, causing the surface of the initially retained graphite to be coated with a layer of glue. The graphite in the discharge cylinder 1 enters the channel 20 of the graphite guide 18 under the action of the first pusher 4, the second pusher 5, and the third pusher 10. At this time, there are two graphite pieces in the dispensing head 16. The push rod 26 pushes the initial graphite into the hole of the copper sleeve, and the second graphite enters the position of the initial graphite and is dispensed with glue. This completes the process of embedding one graphite into the copper sleeve. Following the same principle, you can continue embedding graphite into other holes on the copper sleeve. It is important to note that at the junction of channel 20 and flow channel 22, there is an annular recessed groove 40, a portion of which is connected to a portion of glue tank 21. This groove is used to store excess glue, as the amount of glue dripped during the glue-drip process is always greater than the amount of glue adhering to the graphite. The excess glue is stored here. When the recessed groove 40 is filled with glue, the glue will spread to channel 20 and flow channel 22, completing one cycle by pushing out one graphite. After a certain period, the glue will become viscous or even solidify, affecting the entry of graphite. At this point, the detachable design of the dispensing head 16 and the positioning flange comes into play. The dispensing head 16 and the positioning flange can be removed together. After a certain period, the removed dispensing head 16 and positioning flange can be cleaned for later replacement. Then, a new dispensing head 16 and positioning flange can be installed. The new inner wall is smooth and free of glue. It should also be noted that the outer end height of the flow channel 22 is greater than the inner end height. This is to prevent the glue from flowing out from the outer end and instead allow it to rise, further reducing the impact of excess glue on the dispensing process. The entire machine 11 can be adjusted to the ideal working position on the machine housing 12 by rotating the handle 14.

[0023] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
