Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent assembly technology, and in particular to a device for assembling card caps. Background Technology

[0002] Caps are widely used in clothing items such as tops, pants, bags, and brooches as a detachable connecting structure.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, a typical cap includes a housing, a mounting post, a ball bearing, a spring, a baffle, and a top cover. The mounting post has a through hole running vertically through the center. Both ends of the mounting post have mounting holes that communicate with the through hole. The mounting holes can accommodate the ball bearing. The housing and the baffle together form a receiving cavity. The spring and the mounting post are both located in the receiving cavity. The two ends of the spring abut against the baffle and the mounting post, respectively. The housing has an insertion hole for inserting a pin cap. The insertion hole is positioned opposite to the through hole. The top cover passes through the baffle and connects to the mounting post.

[0004] In related technologies, the assembly of multiple parts of a caliper is generally done manually, which results in low production efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the needs of mass production. In particular, when assembling small ball bearings, it is difficult to manually insert the ball bearings into the mounting holes of the mounting post. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] This invention provides a cap assembly device, comprising: a first clamping fixture for clamping an mounting post; and a bead loading mechanism disposed opposite to the first clamping fixture. The bead loading mechanism includes a first base, a first reciprocating drive, a first push block, a first slider, and a first ejector pin. The first base has a vertically extending first slide groove and a horizontally extending second and third slide grooves, both of which communicate with the first slide groove. The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide groove. The upper and lower ends of the first slider are respectively provided with a horizontally extending bead loading channel and a slot. The first push block and the first ejector pin are slidably connected to the second and third slide grooves, respectively. The first base has a bead feeding channel. The first reciprocating drive is used to drive the first push block and the first ejector pin to move closer to or further away from the first slide groove.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cap assembly device has at least the following advantages: In use, a first reciprocating drive can drive a first push block away from the second slide groove, causing the first push block to exit the slot. The end of the first push block separates from the first slider, and the first slider moves upward relative to the first slide groove, so that the ball loading channel is aligned with the ball feeding channel of the first seat. The ball can slide into the ball loading channel along the ball feeding channel. The first reciprocating drive can drive the first push block closer to the second slide groove, causing the first push block to insert into the slot. The end of the first push block abuts against the first slider, so that the first slider moves downward relative to the first slide groove, so that the ball loading channel is aligned with the third slide groove. As the first reciprocating drive continues to drive, the first ejector pin can pass through the third slide groove and into the ball loading channel, thereby pushing the ball in the ball loading channel into the mounting post in the first clamping fixture. That is, the cap assembly device can automatically realize the assembly of the ball and the mounting post, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency, meet the needs of mass production, and reduce errors caused by manual operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0039] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or," "and / or," or "and / or" throughout the text implies three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0040] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0041] See Figures 1-3 In related technologies, the cap includes a needle cap, a housing 1110, a mounting post 1120, a ball bearing, a spring, a baffle 1130, and a top cover 1140. The mounting post 1120 has a through hole extending vertically, and each of its opposite ends has a mounting hole 1121 communicating with the through hole. The mounting holes 1121 accommodate the ball bearing. The housing 1110 and the baffle 1130 together form a receiving cavity. The spring and the mounting post 1120 are both located within the receiving cavity. The two ends of the spring abut against the baffle 1130 and the mounting post 1120, respectively. The housing 1110 has an insertion hole for inserting the needle cap, which is opposite to the through hole. The top cover 1140 passes through the hole in the baffle 1130 and connects to the mounting post 1120. The needle cap has a groove on its outer periphery, and the receiving cavity has an expansion section that gradually widens from bottom to top.

[0042] During assembly, the user inserts the needle body through the insertion holes of the housing 1110 and the mounting post 1120. The compression spring causes the needle body's slot to engage with two ball bearings. Under the restraint of the cavity wall and the compression of the spring, the needle cap is locked to the mounting post 1120. During disassembly, the user applies a pulling force away from the upper cover 1140 and the needle cap. The upper cover 1140 moves the mounting post 1120 upwards, compressing the spring. This causes the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120 to move upwards to the expansion section, allowing the ball bearings to move away from the slot. This allows the needle cap to exit the mounting post 1120, thus unlocking the needle cap from the mounting post 1120.

[0043] The following is for reference. Figures 4 to 16According to an embodiment of the present invention, an assembly device for a caliper cap can automatically assemble multiple caliper caps through structural design, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0044] Understandably, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cap assembly device includes a frame 100, a first indexing plate 110, a first clamping fixture 111, and a bead loading mechanism 200.

[0045] The first clamping fixture 111 has a vertically penetrating first clamping cavity, which can be used to accommodate the mounting post 1120. The mounting post 1120 can be inserted into the first clamping cavity from top to bottom. Through the clearance fit or interference fit between the first clamping cavity and the mounting post 1120, the clamping operation of the first clamping cavity on the mounting post 1120 can be realized. The first clamping fixture 111 is also provided with a ball-loading hole 112 communicating with the first clamping cavity. The ball-loading hole 112 is correspondingly provided with the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120. When the mounting hole 1121 and the ball-loading hole 112 are opposite, the ball can pass through the ball-loading hole 112 and be inserted into the mounting hole 1121.

[0046] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first indexing plate 110 is rotatably connected to the frame 100. Multiple first clamping fixtures 111 with circumferential spacing are connected to the edge of the first indexing plate 110. The bead holes 112 of the first clamping fixtures 111 are set in a direction away from the first indexing plate 110.

[0047] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The frame 100 is provided with a bead loading station, and the bead loading mechanism 200 is located at the bead loading station and is arranged around the first indexing plate 110. As the first indexing plate 110 rotates, multiple first clamping fixtures 111 can be arranged opposite to the bead loading mechanism 200.

[0048] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The bead loading mechanism 200 includes a first base 210, a first reciprocating drive 220, a first push block 230, a first slider 240, and a first ejector pin 250. The first base 210 is connected to the frame 100, thereby providing support for the first push block 230, the first slider 240, the first ejector pin 250, and the first reciprocating drive 220.

[0049] The first base 210 is provided with a first vertically arranged slide groove 211, and a second slide groove 212 and a third slide groove 213 arranged horizontally. The first slide groove 211 is located on the side close to the first indexing plate 110. The second slide groove 212 and the third slide groove 213 are both connected to the first slide groove 211. The first slider 240 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 211. The upper and lower ends of the first slider 240 are provided with a horizontally extending bead loading channel 241 and a slot 242. The first push block 230 and the first ejector pin 250 are slidably connected to the second slide groove 212 and the third slide groove 213 respectively. The third slide groove 213 is arranged vertically with the second slide groove 212. The first base 210 is also provided with a feeding channel.

[0050] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first push block 230 and the first ejector pin 250 are both connected to the first reciprocating drive 220. Under the driving action of the first reciprocating drive 220, the first push block 230 and the first ejector pin 250 can move closer to or further away from the first slide groove 211. The end of the first push block 230 can be withdrawn or inserted into the slot 242 to drive the first slide groove 211 to slide up and down. After the first slider 240 moves up to the position, the bead feeding channel 214 can be positioned opposite to the bead loading channel 241. After the first slider 240 moves down to the position, the third slide groove 213 can be positioned opposite to the bead loading channel 241.

[0051] In use, the first reciprocating drive 220 can drive the first push block 230 away from the second slide groove 212, causing the first push block 230 to exit the slot 242. The end of the first push block 230 separates from the first slider 240, and the first slider 240 moves upward relative to the first slide groove 211, so that the ball loading channel 241 is aligned with the ball feeding channel 214 of the first seat 210. The ball can slide into the ball loading channel 241 along the ball feeding channel 214. The first reciprocating drive 220 can drive the first push block 230 closer to the second slide groove 212, causing the first push block 230 to insert into the slot 242. The first push block 230 abuts against the first slider 240 to drive... The first slider 240 moves downward relative to the first groove 211 so that the ball loading channel 241 is aligned with the third groove 213. As the first reciprocating drive 220 continues to drive, the first ejector pin 250 can pass through the third groove 213 and into the ball loading channel 241, thereby ejecting the ball in the ball loading channel 241 into the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111. After passing through the ball loading hole 112, the ball is placed into the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120. That is, the assembly device of the cap can automatically realize the assembly of the ball and the mounting post 1120, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency, meet the needs of mass production, and reduce errors caused by manual operation.

[0052] Understandably, see Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The bead loading mechanism 200 also includes a bead feeding assembly and a first elastic element. The bead feeding assembly may include a vibrating plate and a guide tube. The inlet of the guide tube is connected to the outlet of the vibrating plate, and the outlet of the guide tube is connected to the bead feeding channel 214. Through the operation of the vibrating plate, the balls can enter the guide tube in an arranged manner. Along the guide tube and the feeding channel, the balls can move to one end of the feeding channel near the first indexing plate 110. The guide tube and the feeding channel have an inclination from top to bottom towards the first indexing plate 110.

[0053] The first elastic element can be a tension spring. Both ends of the first elastic element are connected to the frame 100 and the first slider 240 respectively, so as to drive the first slider 240 to slide upward. The end of the first slide groove 211 near the first clamping fixture 111 is connected to the bead-passing channel 215. The first reciprocating drive 220 can drive the first push block 230 to move closer to the first slide groove 211, and make the first push block 230 enter the slot 242, so that the first push block 230 abuts against the lower end of the first slide groove 211, thereby driving the first slider 240 to move downward. The third slide groove 213, the bead-loading channel 241 and the bead-passing channel 215 are interconnected.

[0054] When the ball feeding channel 214 is aligned with the ball loading channel 241, the ball slides along the ball feeding channel 214 into the ball loading channel 241. The length of the ball loading channel 241 limits the number of balls loaded each time. Specifically, the length of the ball loading channel 241 can accommodate two balls to meet the usage requirements of assembling two balls with the mounting post 1120. Under the action of the first reciprocating drive 220, the end of the first pusher 230 near the first clamping fixture 111 passes into the slot 242 and interacts with the first slider 2. The lower end of 40 abuts against the first slider 240 to drive it downward, thereby connecting the third groove 213, the ball loading channel 241, and the ball threading channel 215. Under the pushing action of the first ejector pin 250, the ball passes through the ball loading channel 241 and the ball threading channel 215 and enters the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, thus achieving the installation of the ball with the mounting post 1120. The obstruction of the wall of the first groove 211 helps to prevent the ball from falling out of the first seat 210. After the ball loading is completed, the first reciprocating drive 220 can drive the first push block 230 to exit the slot 242 and separate from the lower end of the first slider 240. Under the action of the first elastic element, the first slider 240 is driven upward, so that the ball loading channel 241 connects with the ball feeding channel 214, thereby placing two balls into the ball loading channel 241 for the next ball loading operation.

[0055] Understandably, see Figure 6Considering the risk that the ball might slide out of the mounting post 1120 after being inserted into the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, the ball loading mechanism 200 also includes a pressing drive and a pressing block 270. The pressing drive is connected to the frame 100, and the lower end of the pressing drive is connected to the pressing block 270. The pressing block 270 is located at one end of the first base 210 near the first indexing plate 110. The pressing drive is used to drive the pressing block 270 to move closer to or away from the first clamping fixture 111.

[0056] The downward drive can drive the pressure block 270 to move closer to or away from the first clamping fixture 111. When the pressure block 270 moves closer to the first clamping fixture 111, the pressure block 270 can pass through the opening of the first clamping fixture 111 and abut against the mounting post 1120 located in the first clamping fixture 111, so that the mounting post 1120 and the ball move down together. Under the blocking action of the inner wall of the first clamping cavity of the first clamping fixture 111, the mounting hole 1121 is closed, so as to avoid the problem of the ball coming out of the mounting post 1120.

[0057] See Figure 10 Specifically, to prevent the mounting post 1120 from dislodging from the first clamping fixture 111 under the downward pressure of the pressure block 270, a support block 260 is slidably connected to one end of the first base 210 near the first indexing plate 110. The support block 260 is provided with a limiting block, and the first base 210 is provided with a limiting groove extending vertically. The limiting block is slidably connected in the limiting groove. The first push block 230 can abut or separate from the support block 260 to drive the support block 260 to slide up and down.

[0058] When the first reciprocating drive 220 drives the first push block 230 to move away from the first indexing plate 110, the first push block 230 separates from the support block 260. Under its own weight, the support block 260 moves downward, and the downward movement of the support block 260 is limited by the contact between the limiting block and the limiting groove, thereby preventing the support block 260 from obstructing the rotation of the first indexing plate 110. The first reciprocating drive 220 can also drive the first push block 230 to move closer to the first indexing plate 110, causing the first push block 230 to contact the support block 260, thereby driving the support block 260 to move upward. This causes the support block 260 to close the first clamping cavity of the first clamping fixture 111, thus preventing the mounting post 1120 from exiting the first clamping fixture 111 due to the pressure of the pressure block 270.

[0059] Understandably, see Figure 4 and Figure 11Considering that the ball needs to pass through the ball loading hole 112 of the first clamping fixture 111 and be placed into the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120 needs to be rotated to a position connected with the ball loading hole 112 before loading the ball. The assembly device of the cap also includes a face selection mechanism 300. The face selection mechanism 300 and the ball loading mechanism 200 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the first indexing plate 110.

[0060] The selection mechanism 300 includes a rotary drive 310, a first lifting drive, a second ejector pin 320, a second elastic element, and a second reciprocating drive 330. The first lifting drive is used to drive the rotary drive 310 to lift and lower, so that the rotary drive 310 contacts or separates from the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111. The rotary drive 310 is used to drive the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111 to rotate. Specifically, the rotary drive 310 includes a motor and a rotating block, and the motor can drive the rotating block to rotate.

[0061] The first lifting drive can drive the rotary drive 310 downwards and closer to the first indexing plate 110, so that the rotating block can pass through the upper opening of the first clamping fixture 111 and contact the mounting post 1120, thereby driving the mounting post 1120 to rotate through friction.

[0062] The two ends of the second elastic element are respectively connected to the second ejector pin 320 and the second reciprocating drive 330. The second reciprocating drive 330 is used to drive the second ejector pin 320 to move closer to or further away from the bead hole 112.

[0063] When the first clamping fixture 111 is opposite to the selection mechanism 300, under the action of the first lifting drive, the rotary drive 310 contacts the mounting post 1120 inside the first clamping fixture 111. The rotary drive 310 can drive the mounting post 1120 inside the first clamping fixture 111 to rotate. Under the elastic action of the second elastic element, the second ejector pin 320 tends to move closer to the bead hole 112. When the bead hole 112 rotates to a position opposite to the mounting hole 1121, the second... Under the elastic action of the elastic element, the second ejector pin 320 can pass through the bead loading hole 112 and enter the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, thereby realizing the surface selection operation of the mounting post 1120, so as to ensure that the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120 is opposite to the bead loading hole 112 at the first clamping fixture 111. Under the action of the bead loading mechanism 200, the ball can pass through the bead loading hole 112 and enter the mounting hole 1121, so as to realize the assembly of the ball and the mounting post 1120.

[0064] Understandably, see Figure 11The selection mechanism 300 also includes a second seat 340, a second push block 360, and a support 350. The second seat 340 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. The second seat 340 is provided with a horizontally extending fourth slide groove 341 and a vertically extending fifth slide groove 342. One end of the fourth slide groove 341 near the first indexing plate 110 is connected to the lower end of the fifth slide groove 342. The second push block 360 is slidably connected to the fourth slide groove 341, and the support 350 is slidably connected to the fifth slide groove 342. The second reciprocating drive 330 is connected to the second push block 360. The end of the second push block 360 can abut or separate from the support 350 to drive the support 350 to slide up and down. The second ejector pin 320 is used to insert into the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120.

[0065] The second reciprocating drive 330 is connected to the second push block 360, allowing the second push block 360 to slide into the fifth slide groove 342, so that the end of the second push block 360 abuts against the support 350, thereby driving the support 350 to move upward. The upper end of the support 350 can abut against the bottom end of the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111, ensuring that the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120 and the bead hole 112 of the first clamping fixture 111 are at the same height. Under the driving action of the second reciprocating drive 330, the second ejector pin 320 passes through the bead hole 112 of the first clamping fixture 111 and the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, ensuring that the bead hole 112 and the mounting hole 1121 are coaxially arranged.

[0066] A blocking ring is connected to the second ejector pin 320. The blocking ring can abut against the second seat 340 to limit the travel of the second ejector pin 320 toward the first indexing plate 110. This allows the second reciprocating drive 330 to drive the second seat 340 and the second ejector pin 320 away from the first indexing plate 110 together, thereby ensuring that the second ejector pin 320 exits the first clamping fixture 111. This avoids the problem of the second ejector pin 320 being left at the bead hole 112 of the first clamping fixture 111, which would hinder the rotation of the first indexing plate 110.

[0067] It is understood that the support 350 includes a support shaft, a bearing, and a nut. The second seat 340 is provided with a rotating hole. The outer circumference of the bearing is connected to the rotating hole, and the inner circumference of the bearing abuts against the support shaft. The upper and lower ends of the support shaft are provided with threaded sections, which are connected to the two threaded sections by two nuts. The bearing is clamped between the two nuts, thereby fixing the support shaft and the bearing. By changing the vertical position of the support shaft relative to the bearing, the abutment height between the support shaft and the mounting column 1120 can be adjusted to ensure that after the lower end of the support shaft abuts against the mounting column 1120, the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting column 1120 can be at the same height as the bead-loading hole 112 at the first clamping fixture 111. This can meet the usage requirements of different scenarios and workpieces. Furthermore, the rotation of the bearing and the second seat 340 can reduce the resistance to the rotation of the mounting column 1120, ensuring that the mounting column 1120 can rotate with the rotation drive 310.

[0068] Understandably, see 4 and Figure 12 The assembly device for the cap also includes a mounting post mounting mechanism 400, which includes a guide cylinder and a distributing component. The guide cylinder extends vertically at both ends, with its upper end connected to a vibrating plate so that the mounting posts 1120 are arranged from top to bottom and placed into the guide cylinder. The upper end of the distributing component is connected to the guide cylinder, and its lower end is aligned with the first clamping fixture 111. The distributing component controls the opening and closing of the lower opening of the guide cylinder. Under the action of the distributing component, the individual mounting posts 1120 are separated from the stacked workpieces and the separated mounting posts 1120 are guided into the first clamping fixture 111 so that the first clamping fixture 111 can clamp and fix the mounting posts 1120.

[0069] See Figure 12 Specifically, the material distribution component includes a material feeding channel 430, a drive cylinder, and a material distribution frame. The material distribution frame includes two opposing walls. The two walls are respectively provided with a first insert 410 and a second insert 420 extending laterally. The first insert 410 and the second insert 420 are parallel to each other, and the first insert 410 and the second insert 420 are arranged vertically and are both connected to the material feeding channel 430.

[0070] The drive cylinder is connected to the material distribution frame to drive the first insert 410 and the second insert 420 to alternately enter and exit the feeding channel 430. Specifically, when the first insert 410 exits the unloading channel 430, the second insert 420 is inserted into the unloading channel 430. The second insert 420 can restrict the automatic descent of the mounting post 1120. Then, through the reverse operation of the drive cylinder, the first insert 410 is gradually inserted into the unloading channel 430, while the second insert 420 is gradually exiting the unloading channel 430. Under the separating effect of the first insert 410, the mounting post 1120 located at the lower end of the unloading channel 430 can be placed between the first insert 410 and the second insert 420. That is, the first insert 410 can separate a single mounting post 1120 from the pile of workpieces. As the first insert 410 continues to be inserted, the second insert 420 exits the unloading channel 430. The limiting effect of the second insert 420 on the mounting post 1120 is eliminated, and the mounting post 1120 located at the lower end of the unloading channel 430 is guided into the first clamping cavity of the first clamping fixture 111 along the unloading channel 430.

[0071] See Figure 4 The mounting post mounting mechanism 400, the surface selection mechanism 300, and the bead loading mechanism 200 are all arranged around the first indexing plate 110, and are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the first indexing plate 110. Under the action of the mounting post mounting mechanism 400, the mounting post 1120 can be placed into the first clamping fixture 111 on the first indexing plate 110. Under the action of the surface selection mechanism 300, the mounting post 1120 can be rotated to the first clamping fixture 111. The mounting post 1120 inside 11 is arranged so that the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120 is opposite to the ball loading hole 112 at the first clamping fixture 111. Under the action of the ball loading mechanism 200, two balls can pass through the ball loading hole 112 of the first clamping fixture 111 and the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, that is, the two balls are connected to the mounting post 1120. By pressing down on the mounting post 1120, the problem of the balls coming out of the mounting post 1120 can be avoided.

[0072] The assembly device for the cap can automatically feed and assemble the ball and the mounting post 1120 through the mounting post mounting mechanism 400, the surface selection mechanism 300 and the ball loading mechanism 200. It has a high degree of automation and can more accurately assemble the smaller ball with the mounting hole 1121 of the mounting post 1120, reducing the reliance on manual labor and thus reducing errors caused by human factors.

[0073] Understandably, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The assembly device for the cap also includes a second indexing plate 120, a housing mounting mechanism 500, and an assembly mechanism 1000. The second indexing plate 120 is connected to a plurality of circumferentially arranged second clamping fixtures 121. These second clamping fixtures 121 clamp the housing 1110 and abut against the lower end of the housing 1110, facilitating the placement of workpieces such as springs and mounting posts 1120 from top to bottom into the housing 1110, thereby assembling the housing 1110 with other workpieces. The housing mounting mechanism 500 is arranged around the second indexing plate 120 to place the housing 1110 into the second clamping fixtures 121.

[0074] The second indexing plate 120 is connected to the first indexing plate 110. The assembly mechanism 1000 is located at the connection between the second indexing plate 120 and the first indexing plate 110, for placing the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111 into the housing 1110 of the second clamping fixture 121.

[0075] Specifically, the assembly mechanism 1000 can be a pneumatic cylinder and a pressure rod. The pneumatic cylinder is connected to the pressure rod to drive the pressure rod to move up and down. When the first clamping fixture 111 of the first indexing plate 110 is aligned with the second clamping fixture 121 of the second indexing plate 120, the pneumatic cylinder can drive the pressure rod to move from top to bottom. The pressure rod passes through the first clamping fixture 111 and presses the mounting post 1120 and the ball bearings together into the housing 1110 of the second clamping fixture 121, thereby realizing the assembly of the mounting post 1120, the ball bearings and the housing 1110.

[0076] Understandably, see Figure 13 The housing mounting mechanism 500 includes a vibratory feeder, a first horizontal push drive 510, and a second horizontal push mechanism. Under the vibration of the vibratory feeder, multiple housings 1110 are arranged in an array and conveyed to the first horizontal push drive 510. The first horizontal push mechanism is a cylinder. The first horizontal push drive 510 can be pushed from a right angle to the arrangement direction of the multiple housings 1110, thereby separating a single housing 1110 from the stacked workpieces and transferring the separated housing 1110 to the second horizontal push drive 520. The pushing direction of the first horizontal push drive 510 is perpendicular to the pushing direction of the second horizontal push drive 520. 520 is also a cylinder. Under the action of the second transverse push drive 520, the separated housing 1110 moves towards the second clamping fixture 121. The second clamping fixture 121 includes two clamping blocks, which are rotatably connected. The ends of the two clamping blocks away from the housing mounting mechanism 500 are provided with springs. The two ends of the springs are respectively connected to the two clamping blocks to drive the other ends of the two clamping blocks to move closer to each other. Under the action of the second transverse push drive 520, the separated housing 1110 can be inserted between the two clamping blocks. The elastic force of the springs enables the two clamping blocks to clamp the housing 1110 together.

[0077] Understandably, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The assembly device for the cap also includes a support frame 130, a drive roller 140, and a drive motor. The frame 100 has a worktable, with a first indexing plate 110 and a second indexing plate 120 both located above the worktable. The lower end of the support frame 130 is connected to the worktable and is mounted above the first indexing plate 110 and the second indexing plate 120. The pressure block 270, the assembly mechanism 1000, and the rotary drive 310 are all connected to the support frame 130 and move up and down synchronously with it.

[0078] The downward drive and the first lifting drive are both integrated into the drive motor and drive roller 140. The drive motor and drive roller 140 drive the support frame 130 to lift, so that the pressure block 270 can press down on the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111, and the rotary drive 310 can contact the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111. The assembly mechanism 1000 can assist in placing the mounting post 1120 in the first clamping fixture 111 into the housing 1110 in the second clamping fixture 121.

[0079] Specifically, the drive roller 140 and the drive motor are both located below the worktable. The drive roller 140 is rotatably connected to the frame 100. The drive motor can be connected to the drive roller 140 through transmission methods such as belts and sprockets to drive the drive roller 140 to rotate.

[0080] Both ends of the support frame 130 are provided with vertically extending guide rods 131, and both ends of the drive roller 140 are provided with cams 141. The upper ends of the guide rods 131 and cams 141 abut against each other to drive the support frame 130 closer to or further away from the first indexing plate 110 and the second indexing plate 120. That is, the assembly device of the caliper can drive the support frame 130 to rise and fall by driving the motor, thereby meeting the requirements of the rotary drive 310 abutting against the mounting column 1120 and the assembly mechanism 1000 pressing down on the mounting column 1120. In other words, the drive motor can simultaneously drive the movement of the first indexing plate 110, the second indexing plate 120 and the support frame 130, which is beneficial to saving costs and realizing the synchronous operation of the first indexing plate 110, the second indexing plate 120 and the support frame 130.

[0081] It is understandable that participating Figure 5 Two first transmission gears are connected to the drive roller 140. Correspondingly, two second transmission gears are connected to the lower ends of the first indexing plate 110 and the second indexing plate 120. The second transmission gears are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first transmission gears. The first transmission gears can be connected to the second transmission gears via chains. The second transmission gears can be connected to the first indexing plate 110 or the second indexing plate 120 via a steering structure. Thus, the rotation of the drive roller 140 can be converted into the rotation of the first indexing plate 110 and the second indexing plate 120.

[0082] Specifically, the steering structure can be achieved through two cooperating bevel gears and worm gears, which will not be elaborated here.

[0083] Understandably, see Figure 14 The assembly device for the cap also includes a spring mounting mechanism 600, a baffle mounting mechanism 700, and a riveting mechanism 800, which are arranged sequentially around the rotation direction of the second indexing plate 120.

[0084] The spring mounting mechanism 600 includes a vibrating plate, a gripper 610, a first telescopic drive 620, and a support plate 630. The gripper 610 has a clamping opening for accommodating the spring. The gripper 610 has two openings, one above the other, that communicate with the clamping opening. The first telescopic drive 620 is used to drive the gripper 610 to move closer to or further away from the second indexing plate 120. The support plate 630 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the gripper 610 to close or open the clamping opening of the gripper 610. Under the action of the vibrating plate, the spring can be inserted into the clamping opening from top to bottom.

[0085] The first telescopic drive 620 can drive the gripper 610 to move closer to or further away from the second indexing plate 120. The support plate 630 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the gripper 610. As the gripper 610 and the support plate 630 move closer to the second indexing plate 120, when the support plate 630 abuts against the second indexing plate 120 or the second clamping fixture 121, and the gripper 610 continues to move closer to the second indexing plate 120, the support plate 630 slides relative to the gripper 610 so that the clamping opening of the gripper 610 opens, which can help to guide the spring located in the clamping opening into the housing 1110 at the second clamping fixture 121. The first telescopic drive 620 can drive the gripper 610 and the pallet 630 to move away from the second indexing plate 120. When the pallet 630 moves into position, the movement of the pallet 630 is restricted by the frame 100, while the gripper 610 continues to move away from the second indexing plate 120, so that the pallet 630 and the gripper 610 slide relative to each other. The pallet 630 closes the lower opening of the clamping cavity so that the next spring can be inserted into the clamping cavity.

[0086] The spring mounting mechanism 600 also includes a lower pressure block 640 and a drive cylinder. When the gripper 610 moves to the second clamping fixture 121, the lower pressure block 640 can be moved down by the drive cylinder. The lower pressure block 640 can be used to press the spring into the housing 1110.

[0087] Understandably, see Figure 15The baffle mounting mechanism 700 includes a claw 710, a tensioning drive 720, and a second telescopic drive 730. The second telescopic drive 730 is used to drive the claw 710 to move closer to or away from the second indexing plate 120. The tensioning drive 720 is used to control the tensioning and opening of the claw 710. The riveting mechanism 800 is used to rivet the baffle 1130 to the housing 1110.

[0088] The baffle mounting mechanism 700 can drive the opening and closing of the chuck 710 via the opening and closing drive 720, so that the chuck 710 clamps or separates from the baffle 1130. In conjunction with the extension and retraction drive 730, the baffle 1130 can be clamped into the housing 1110 of the second clamping fixture 121. The riveting mechanism 800 is used to rivet the baffle 1130 and the housing 1110 together, so that the baffle 1130 and the housing 1110 together form a receiving cavity, and the spring and the mounting post 1120 are both located in the receiving cavity, so as to realize the assembly of the baffle 1130, the housing 1110 and the spring, which is beneficial to improve the automation level of the caliper assembly device and improve the production efficiency of the caliper.

[0089] The chuck 710 has two forked chuck bodies, and the opening and closing drive 720 includes a cylinder and an insert block. The insert block has a through hole that extends vertically. The inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the chuck 710. The cylinder can drive the chuck 710 to move in and out of the through hole. When the chuck 710 is inserted into the through hole, the two chuck bodies of the chuck 710 move closer to each other, so that the lower end of the chuck body can be placed in the hole of the baffle 1130. Then the cylinder can drive the chuck 710 to exit the through hole, so that the restrictive effect of the through hole on the chuck 710 gradually decreases, and the two chuck bodies gradually move away from each other, so that the two chuck bodies provide internal support for the hole of the baffle 1130, thereby achieving the clamping of the chuck body and the baffle 1130.

[0090] It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the riveting mechanism 800 are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0091] Understandably, see Figure 16 The assembly device for the cap also includes a top cover mounting mechanism 900, a riveting mechanism 800, and the top cover mounting mechanism 900 arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the second indexing plate 120. The top cover mounting mechanism 900 includes a third telescopic drive 910, a fourth telescopic drive 920, a drive block 940, a third elastic element, and two tensioning blocks 930. The third elastic element is connected to the tensioning blocks 930 to drive the two tensioning blocks 930 to move closer to each other. The third telescopic drive 910 is used to drive the drive block 940 to abut against the two tensioning blocks 930 to drive the two tensioning blocks 930 to move away from each other. The fourth telescopic drive 920 is used to drive the two tensioning blocks 930 to move closer to or away from the second indexing plate 120.

[0092] The cover mounting mechanism 900 also includes a third seat, wherein two tensioning blocks 930 are slidably connected to the third seat, and a third elastic element is connected between the two tensioning blocks 930 and the third seat. The third elastic element can be a spring. Under the elastic action of the spring, the two tensioning blocks 930 tend to move closer to each other, and the two tensioning blocks 930 can jointly clamp the cover 1140.

[0093] Both the third telescopic drive 910 and the fourth telescopic drive 920 are connected to the third base body. The fourth telescopic drive 920 is drive-connected to the third base body to drive the two tensioning blocks 930 to move closer to or further away from the second indexing plate 120, thereby moving the upper cover 1140 to the second clamping fixture 121 of the second indexing plate 120. The third telescopic drive 910 can drive the drive block 940 to abut against the ends of the two tensioning blocks 930 that are close to each other, thereby driving the two tensioning blocks 930 to move away from each other, thereby separating the tensioning blocks 930 from the upper cover 1140. With the pressing of the upper cover 1140, the upper cover 1140 can pass through the hole of the baffle 1130 and be connected to the mounting post 1120 as one unit.

[0094] Under the action of the third telescopic drive 910, the two tensioning blocks 930 are moved away from each other, and the upper cover 1140 is placed between the two tensioning blocks 930. The third telescopic drive 910 can drive the drive block 940 to separate from the two tensioning blocks 930. Under the elastic action of the spring, the two tensioning blocks 930 jointly clamp the upper cover 1140. Under the action of the fourth telescopic drive 920, the two tensioning blocks 930 and the upper cover 1140 are jointly transferred to the second clamping fixture 121 of the second indexing plate 120.

[0095] The top cover mounting mechanism 900 also includes a clamping block 270, which is connected to the support frame 130. When the top cover 1140 is moved above the second clamping fixture 121, the clamping block 270 can press down the support frame 130 to allow the top cover 1140 to pass through the hole of the baffle 1130 and connect with the mounting post 1120 at the second clamping fixture 121 as a whole.

[0096] By moving the top cover 1140, the user can drive the mounting post 1120 to slide upward within the accommodating cavity. The assembly device of the cap can automatically connect the top cover 1140 and the mounting post 1120, which helps to improve the automation level of the cap assembly device and thus improve the production efficiency of the cap.

[0097] It should be noted that the first reciprocating drive 220, the second reciprocating drive 330, the first telescopic drive 620, the second telescopic drive 730, the third telescopic drive 910, and the fourth telescopic drive 920 can all be linear reciprocating drive mechanisms such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and lead screw slider mechanisms.

[0098] Understandably, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The assembly device for the cap is arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the second indexing plate 120, including a housing mounting mechanism 500, an assembly mechanism 1000, a spring mounting mechanism 600, a baffle mounting mechanism 700, a riveting mechanism 800, and a top cover mounting mechanism 900.

[0099] The housing mounting mechanism 500 can place the housing 1110 into the second clamping fixture 121. As the second indexing plate 120 rotates, the housing 1110 moves to the assembly mechanism 1000, which is located at the junction of the first indexing plate 110 and the second indexing plate 120. The assembly mechanism 1000 places the combination of the ball bearing and the mounting post 1120 at the first clamping fixture 111 into the housing 1110 at the second clamping fixture 121. As the second indexing plate 120 rotates, the housing 1110 containing the ball bearing and the mounting post 1120 moves to the spring mounting mechanism 600. The spring mounting mechanism 600 can place the spring into the housing 1110 and make the spring sleeved on the outside of the mounting post 1120. The housing 1110 containing the spring rotates with the second indexing plate 120 to the baffle mounting mechanism 700, which covers the baffle 1130. Above the housing 1110, with the upper end of the spring abutting against the lower surface of the baffle 1130, the housing 1110, which houses the baffle 1130, rotates with the second indexing plate 120 to the riveting mechanism 800. Under the action of the riveting mechanism 800, the baffle 1130 and the housing 1110 are riveted together, and the baffle 1130 and the housing 1110 are connected as one unit. The baffle 1130 and the housing 1110 together form a receiving cavity, and the... The mounting post 1120 and the ball bearing are both housed in the receiving cavity. The two ends of the spring abut against the baffle 1130 and the mounting post 1120 respectively. After the baffle 1130 is riveted, the housing 1110 rotates with the second indexing plate 120 to the upper cover mounting mechanism 900. The upper cover mounting mechanism 900 can make the upper cover 1140 aligned with the baffle 1130, and make the upper cover 1140 pass through the hole of the baffle 1130 and connect with the mounting post 1120 as a whole.
