[0002] At present, the artificial assembly method is adopted, and the procedures are as follows: assembly-test-pressing-marking. Each procedure is realized by manual operation. The disc spring assembly contains 20 sub-pieces, and the finished product has strict requirements on height and force value. The finished product assembly needs to go through 4 procedures, each of which needs to be realized by manual operation, and each procedure needs to be configured with 1 person or more. According to the total of 4 persons, about 900 sets of products can be assembled per shift, and the labor cost is high. The number of sub-pieces is large, the same product has front and back assembly, and the manual assembly of different products is prone to misassembly, missing assembly, and overassembly, etc., which leads to unqualified products. In the prior art, only the pressing device of the disc spring assembly is improved, and there is little improvement on the assembly method.

[0003] For example, a "pressing system for disc spring assembly and its use method" disclosed in Chinese patent document, its publication number: CN115781245A, discloses a C-shaped frame, the C-shaped frame is provided with an assembly positioning device, the disc spring product to be pressed is placed in the assembly positioning device, an assembly pressing head and an oil pressure control system are sequentially arranged above the assembly positioning device, the assembly pressing head is pressed by the oil pressure control system, the assembly pressing head is provided with a positioning piece and a locking piece, the disc spring product is positioned by the positioning piece, and the disc spring product is locked by the locking piece, but this scheme cannot automatically assemble multiple disc springs in the disc spring assembly. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the disc spring assembly cannot be automatically assembled in the prior art, the present application provides a disc spring assembly assembly method, which can automatically assemble according to the height and automatically assemble different disc springs and gaskets in the disc spring assembly.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] The application discloses a disc spring assembly assembling method, comprising the following steps: obtaining the convex surface direction of a disc spring piece, judging whether the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction, judging whether the preset disc spring piece meets the height requirement if yes, and completing the preset disc spring piece assembling and the next step assembling if the preset disc spring piece meets the height requirement. The application first judges whether the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece, and the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece is different in each step assembling. Therefore, the application judges whether the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction, judges the installation height of the disc spring piece after judging that the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece, and completes the assembling if the installation height meets the requirement. Thus, the automatic assembling of the disc spring assembly is realized, the disc spring assembly can be assembled automatically, and the disc spring assembly can be assembled according to the assembling sequence of different disc springs.

[0007] Preferably, when judging whether the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction, the preset convex surface direction of the current disc spring assembly is obtained, and the disc spring piece is judged as a preset disc spring piece if the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece is the same as the preset convex surface direction. The preset convex surface direction of the current disc spring assembly is obtained by determining the preset convex surface direction of the current assembling step according to the process step of the disc spring assembly assembling, and judging the disc spring piece according to the preset convex surface direction of the current assembling step. Thus, the disc spring piece can be quickly judged as a preset disc spring piece required by the current assembling step. The disc spring piece is judged by the preset convex surface direction, so that the disc spring piece does not need to be judged in other ways. Meanwhile, the judging method can judge the position error of the same disc spring piece or the type error of different disc spring pieces, and improves the efficiency of detecting and identifying the disc spring piece in the actual disc spring assembly assembling process.

[0008] Preferably, the convex surface position corresponding to the preset convex surface direction is obtained, the preset range of the convex surface position is obtained, and the height of the preset disc spring piece at the corresponding convex surface position is judged to be in the preset range. The preset convex surface direction is different, and the corresponding convex surface position is different. That is, when the preset convex surface is upward, the convex surface position is at the center of the convex surface, and when the preset convex surface is downward, the convex surface position is at the periphery of the convex surface. Thus, the convex surface position corresponding to the convex surface direction is judged, the height of the preset disc spring piece is judged according to the convex surface position corresponding to the convex surface direction after the convex surface direction is determined, and the height of the feature point of the preset disc spring piece is obtained. The height of the preset disc spring piece is judged according to the height of the feature point, the height detection of the preset disc spring piece is realized, the height detection of the feature point after the assembling is realized, or the height detection of the feature point position of the disc spring piece before the assembling is realized, and the automatic and rapid detection is realized.

[0009] As preferred, the completion of the preset disc spring assembly includes obtaining the disc spring positioning, judging whether it is the assembly position according to the disc spring positioning, completing the assembly if it is the assembly position, and canceling the assembly if the disc spring positioning changes. After the judgment of the preset disc spring is completed, the preset disc spring is positioned relative to the disc spring assembly, and the preset disc spring is assembled into the disc spring assembly according to the positioning. The detection and assembly positioning of the disc spring can be separated, and the operation rollback caused by the detection of the disc spring error during the assembly of the disc spring can be avoided. The assembly can be quickly completed.

[0010] As preferred, the judgment of whether the preset disc spring meets the height requirement includes obtaining the height of the assembled disc spring, adding the height of the assembled disc spring to the height of the preset disc spring, and judging whether the preset disc spring meets the height requirement according to the addition result. The height detection of the preset disc spring is realized by the superimposed detection of the height of the preset disc spring and the height of the installed disc spring. The superimposed detection can be realized by the unified height detection after the installation of the preset disc spring into the disc spring assembly, or the height detection of the installed disc spring and the height detection of the preset disc spring can be realized respectively. Through the above-mentioned manner, whether the preset disc spring itself meets the requirement or whether the installation of the preset disc spring is in place can be judged, so that whether the preset disc spring of this assembly step meets the height requirement can be judged.

[0011] As preferred, the judgment of whether the preset disc spring meets the height requirement further includes judging the position of the addition result of the height of the assembled disc spring and the height of the preset disc spring, and judging the addition result of the height if the position of the addition result of the height is the same as the convex position corresponding to the direction of the preset convex surface. Through the addition of the height of the installed disc spring and the height of the preset disc spring, the addition position is judged, so that whether the installation of the preset disc spring meets the requirement can be judged, and whether the disc spring required in this assembly step and the preset disc spring assembled in this assembly step are the same can be judged. That is, whether the disc spring assembly is correct or not can be judged again at this step, and the installation effect of the preset disc spring can be judged by judging the height of the corresponding convex position, so that the height of each position after the installation of the preset disc spring can be monitored.

[0012] As preferred, the height requirement includes setting the height of the preset disc spring as the height requirement threshold, setting the disc spring assembly that does not meet the height requirement as an out-of-tolerance piece, and rejecting the out-of-tolerance piece for the assembly of the next disc spring assembly. The height requirement is determined according to the height value of the disc spring itself, so that the size precision of the preset disc spring can be detected through the height requirement, and the assembly effect of the preset disc spring can be detected, so that the disc spring assembly that does not meet the requirement after the assembly can be screened.

[0013] As preferred, if the disc spring convex surface direction cannot be acquired, the gasket height is acquired, and whether the gasket height meets the requirement is judged according to the height of the assembled disc spring piece, if not, the gasket height is re-acquired until it meets the requirement. At this time, the disc spring convex surface direction is not acquired, the step of acquiring the disc spring convex surface direction is skipped, and the gasket height is acquired instead, and the gasket height is judged after the gasket height is acquired, wherein the height judgment is to judge the height of the gasket itself to judge whether the gasket meets the requirement, and the gasket height is determined according to the height of the assembled disc spring, and the final requirement is the height of the assembled gasket. The height of the gasket can be determined according to the assembled disc spring piece, so that the appropriate gasket can be automatically assembled.

[0014] As preferred, the test mode is acquired after the next assembly is completed, and the disc spring assembly after the assembly is completed is tested according to the test mode; and the test result is acquired, and the disc spring assembly with qualified test result is subjected to press fitting and laser marking. After the assembly of each disc spring piece or gasket is completed, different test modes are adopted for testing, and different test results are obtained according to different test modes to determine the qualified disc spring assembly. Therefore, the automatic assembly of the disc spring piece can be realized.

[0015] The present application has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The automatic assembly of the disc spring assembly is realized, the various disc springs in the disc spring assembly can be automatically assembled in sequence, and the assembly can be performed following the assembly sequence of the different disc springs in the disc spring assembly; (2) The efficiency of detecting and identifying the disc spring piece in the actual assembly process of the disc spring assembly is improved; (3) The detection and assembly positioning of the disc spring piece can be separated, so that the operation is not reversed due to the error of the disc spring piece found during the assembly of the disc spring piece. The assembly can be quickly performed; (4) Whether the preset disc spring piece itself meets the requirement can be judged, and whether the installation of the preset disc spring piece is in place can be judged, so that whether the preset disc spring piece of this step meets the height requirement can be judged; (5) The installation effect of the preset disc spring piece can be judged, and the height of each position after the installation of the preset disc spring piece can be monitored.

[0022] The embodiments of the present application are illustrated by way of specific examples, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] As shown in the drawings, in a preferred embodiment, the present application discloses a disc spring assembly method, comprising the following steps: obtaining the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece, judging whether it is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction, if yes, further judging whether the preset disc spring piece meets the height requirement; if the preset disc spring piece meets the height requirement, completing the assembly of the preset disc spring piece and proceeding to the next assembly step. First, it is judged whether it is a preset disc spring piece. In each assembly step, the disc spring pieces may be the same or different, but the convex surface directions are different. Therefore, it is judged whether it is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction. After judging that it is a preset disc spring piece, it is further judged whether the installation height of the disc spring piece meets the requirement. If the installation height also meets the requirement, the assembly is completed. Figs. 1-3 In use, the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece is detected by a sensor or directly input, and the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece is judged, the judgment of the disc spring piece of the current process is completed, it is judged whether it is a correct disc spring piece of the process, if yes, the assembly is completed, and this step is repeated to realize automatic assembly.

[0024] When judging whether it is a preset disc spring piece according to the convex surface direction, the preset convex surface direction of the current disc spring assembly is obtained. If the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece is the same as the preset convex surface direction, it is judged that the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece. Obtaining the preset convex surface direction of the current disc spring assembly includes determining the preset convex surface direction of the current assembly process according to the process steps of the disc spring assembly, and judging the disc spring piece according to the preset convex surface direction of the current assembly process, so as to realize the quick judgment of whether the disc spring piece is a preset disc spring piece required by the current assembly process. The judgment of the disc spring piece is realized through the judgment of the preset convex surface direction, so that other judgments of the disc spring piece are not required. Meanwhile, this kind of judgment method can judge the position error of the same kind of disc spring piece or the type error of different kinds of disc spring pieces.

[0025] In use, the disc spring piece required to be installed at present is determined according to the current process, the convex surface direction of the disc spring piece required to be installed at present is judged, the convex surface direction is taken as a preset convex surface direction, and it is judged whether it is a disc spring piece of this process according to the preset convex surface direction.

[0026]

[0027] ​Further comprising obtaining a convex surface position corresponding to a preset convex surface direction, and obtaining a preset range of the convex surface position, judging whether the height of the preset disc spring piece at the corresponding convex surface position is located in the preset range. Wherein, the direction of the preset convex surface is different, corresponding to different convex surface positions, that is, when the preset convex surface is upward, the convex surface position is located at the center of the convex surface at this time, and when the preset convex surface is downward, the convex surface position is located at the periphery of the convex surface; So that the convex surface position corresponding to the convex surface direction can be judged, the convex surface direction is determined, and then the height judgment is carried out according to the convex surface position corresponding to the convex surface direction, so as to obtain the height of the feature point of the preset disc spring piece. The height detection is carried out through the height of the feature point of the preset disc spring piece, which can be the height detection of the feature point after assembly, or the self height detection of the disc spring piece feature point position before assembly.

[0028] In use, the assembled disc spring piece is detected according to the height and position, so as to complete the detection of each disc spring piece before or after assembly.

[0029] The assembly of the preset disc spring piece includes obtaining disc spring piece positioning, judging whether it is an assembly position according to the disc spring piece positioning, completing the assembly if it is an assembly position, and canceling this assembly if the disc spring piece positioning changes. After the judgment of the preset disc spring piece is completed, the positioning of the preset disc spring piece relative to the disc spring assembly is carried out, and the preset disc spring piece is assembled into the disc spring assembly according to the positioning.

[0030] In use, before assembly, the disc spring piece and the disc spring assembly are positioned after the disc spring piece is judged to be correct. Usually, a positioning rod is used to position and assemble from top to bottom, and assembly is carried out after positioning is correct.

[0031] Judging whether the preset disc spring piece meets the height requirement includes obtaining the height of the assembled disc spring piece, adding it to the preset disc spring height, and judging whether the preset disc spring meets the height requirement according to the addition result. The height detection of the preset disc spring piece is realized by superimposed detection of the height of the preset disc spring piece and the installed disc spring piece, wherein the superimposed detection can be realized by unified height detection after the preset disc spring piece is installed into the disc spring assembly, or the height of the installed disc spring piece and the height of the preset disc spring piece can be detected respectively to realize the superimposed detection.

[0032] In use, after the disc spring piece positioning is successful and the assembly is successful, the height detection is carried out again to detect the assembly result, so as to judge whether the process meets the requirement.

[0033] The judgment of whether the preset disc spring meets the height requirement also includes adding the height of the assembled disc spring and the height of the preset disc spring, judging the position of the added height, and judging the added height if the position of the added height is the same as the convex position corresponding to the preset convex direction. The position of the added height is judged, and the height of the corresponding convex position is judged.

[0034] In use, the assembled disc spring assembly is detected by a sensor or other detection tool to detect the height and position of the top; when the disc spring is offset, skewed, etc., the height of the top will change, thereby detecting the assembly result and improving the automation efficiency.

[0035] The height requirement includes setting the height of the preset disc spring as the height requirement threshold, setting the disc spring assembly that does not meet the height requirement as an out-of-tolerance piece, and removing the out-of-tolerance piece for assembly of the next disc spring assembly. The height requirement is determined according to the height of the disc spring itself, so that the height requirement can detect the size accuracy of the preset disc spring on one hand, and facilitate detection of the assembly effect of the preset disc spring on the other hand.

[0036] If the disc spring convex direction cannot be obtained, the gasket height is obtained, the height of the assembled disc spring is judged to determine whether the gasket height meets the requirement, and if not, the gasket height is re-obtained until it meets the requirement. At this time, the disc spring convex direction is not obtained, and after skipping the step of obtaining the disc spring convex direction, the gasket height is obtained. After obtaining the gasket height, the height of the gasket is judged, which is to judge whether the gasket meets the requirement according to the height of the assembled disc spring, and the final requirement is the height of the assembled gasket.

[0037] After completing the next assembly, a test method is obtained, and the assembled disc spring assembly is tested according to the test method; the test result is obtained, and the disc spring assembly with a qualified test result is subjected to press fitting and laser marking. After completing the assembly of each disc spring or gasket, different test methods are used for testing, and different test results are obtained according to different test methods to determine the qualified disc spring assembly.
