[0056] The liquid receiving disc 17 is installed on the base 12 and directly below the cleaning and gluing assembly 3 and is used to collect the cleaning liquid falling in the cleaning process.
[0057] The diameter of the disc opening of the liquid receiving disc 17 is greater than the diameter of the inner hole of the bearing outer ring 5 to ensure that the falling cleaning liquid smoothly enters the liquid receiving disc 17.
[0058] The longitudinal guide rail sliding table 13 is composed of a guide light shaft 52, a light shaft support 53, a linear bearing 54 and a sliding plate 51; the guide light shaft 52 is provided with two, which are installed on the left and right sides of the middle of the base 12 through the front and rear light shaft supports 53; the left and right sides of the sliding plate 51 are respectively supported on the two guide light shafts 52 through the two linear bearings 54 and form a moving pair with them.

[0060] The first support 21 is assembled by aluminum profiles and is supported on both sides of the front end of the base 12.
[0061] The pressing cylinder 22 is a three-axle cylinder, which is installed on the upper center of the first support 21 through the pressing cylinder connecting plate 24, and is used to provide the pressing movement required by the gasket mold 4.

[0070] The working principle and process of the gasket mold 4 are as follows:
[0071] When the lower end of the base 41 of the gasket mold 4 contacts the top end of the support seat 16, the silica gel bushing 42 is flush with the outer ring 5 of the bearing.

The cleaning and gluing assembly (3) is equipped with a glue brush (36) and a spray gun (37). Both the glue brush (36) and the spray gun (37) are equipped with driving components. The driving components drive the spray gun (37) to clean the bearing outer ring (5) that is transported to the cleaning and gluing station by the replaceable outer ring fixture (15). After cleaning, the bearing outer ring (5) is coated with glue on the inner raceway by the glue brush (36). After being coated with glue, the bearing outer ring (5) is transported to the pressing assembly (2) by the replaceable outer ring fixture (15) to the pressing station. The pressing assembly (2) is equipped with a liner mold (4) driven vertically by a pressing cylinder (22). The liner mold (4) is used for pressing the liner against the bearing outer ring (5) and for removing the pressed bearing outer ring (5). The liner mold (4) is equipped with a base (41), a silicone bushing (42), a contour slider (43), a push shaft (44), and a stop (45). The base (41) is cylindrical and serves as the mounting base for the other components. 1) The hollow part is used to accommodate the up and down movement of the push shaft (44). The base (41) has multiple through slots evenly distributed in the circumference of the middle part. The through slots are used to set the contour slider (43). The contour slider (43) and the base (41) form a sliding pair. The two ends of the contour slider (43) are in contact with the silicone bushing (42) and the push shaft (44) respectively. The silicone bushing (42) is in the shape of a round tube and is fitted on the outer side of the middle part of the base (41). The width of the silicone bushing (42) is the same as the width of the outer ring pad. When the pressing cylinder (22) extends and the liner mold (4) descends to make the silicone bushing (42) flush with the outer ring of the bearing (5), the push shaft (44) pushes the contour slider (43) to move outward, so that the outer ring liner is attached and bonded to the inner raceway of the outer ring of the bearing (5) under the uniform and constant pressure of the silicone bushing (42).
